did definitely not expect it to be this good, this is going to be my new jam

[captainmarvel.livejournal.com]

had this on repeat all day

[dirtysoulradio.livejournal.com]

Better than the original imo

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

lol my first thought was " Why is Charlie Murphy singing Genie?" But once I pressed play I saw he looked different haha. Pretty catchy actually.

[kawaiisis86.livejournal.com]

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!

[k0dama.livejournal.com]

OH! IN ENGLISH.

Also I misread that as Louis CK and was all confused because I'm pretty sure Louis isn't much of a singer or producer. ...

[dalpaengee.livejournal.com]

I misread it as C.S. Lewis and got really confused lol

[inuvampy.livejournal.com]

I actually really like this ;o *replays*

"Lick me like a candy".... "light me like a rocket"

=P

& this is going straight onto my ipod playlist ♥

xD course you like this!

[coffeebang.livejournal.com]

I like it, but I think that Genie's lyrics in English will always sound kind of awkward.

[paularociio.livejournal.com]

indeed, sounds kinda awkward!
but the C J Lewis part sounds great!

[dancerocknight.livejournal.com]

Better then original? Better then original.

[synykiss.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't it be 'than' not 'then' .... just sayin'.

[mara-ciro.livejournal.com]

Was it just my ears hearing things... or did the singers sound a bit like Jessica and Tiffany?

[cruel-disorder.livejournal.com]

They really do!! :O if this cover is endorsed by UMJ I really really hope it's them!

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

I only liked the chorus tbh.

[pleasewantme.livejournal.com]

i only liked the nothing

well when the girls sang

[taeminsponytail.livejournal.com]

I can get down with this

[minzystarr.livejournal.com]

who is he?

[danceinthedark.livejournal.com]

This is awful barring the chorus. Genie's a really fucking good song as it is, and he clearly did not understand why.

[dorawa.livejournal.com]

LOVE IT

[dorawa.livejournal.com]

any version of this song is amazing in my book imo, flawless song

[groovydawg.livejournal.com]

It was begging for a dubstep drop round the middle. Genie's instrumental with those epic synths always get me.

Banging cover is banging.

[831panda831.livejournal.com]

omg a drop would have been amazing

[idletales.livejournal.com]

Wow; I was always *shrug* about the original but I want the full version of this yesterday

[glittermeout.livejournal.com]

well it's not bad....but the moment they reached the chorus I was like D:
there's ALREADY an official english version of genie out there by nathalie makoma called I Just Wanna Dance and its pretty fucking good!!!
why would they come out with another -.-

the korean version will always be the best though

[fizzzzzzzzzzz.livejournal.com]

Love it

[khimia.livejournal.com]

Jammin I love it !!!Genie is such a good song

[love-etcetera.livejournal.com]

this is pretty osm

[http://users.livejournal.com/___sasuka/]

I NEED MORE :Q___________

And whoever those female singers are, they sound like SNSD, damn... I hear Taeyeon in there.

[sichyo.livejournal.com]

yeah. I hear Jessica too... idk, this was uploaded by UMJ so it might them.

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

Hoshit o_____O This was so unexpected but I am totally jamming to this right now XD I love the chorus!!!! :D

I DON'T NEED TO SING IN AWKWARD KOREAN ANY LONGER~~ YAY
