Well, IMO this is his best single to date (although "Heaven" from his second album comes really close). I prefer the album version to the video one, the strings that were added to the latter sounded unnecessary to me. It peaked at #4 on the R&B chart and at #24 on the Hot 100. Video. |

This was one of my nominations in the classics of the 2000's thread. Wonderful song.

I remember hearing this a lot on the radio. It's a shame "Used To Love U" didn't get this much love at the time. "Ordinary People" is still a great song though.

Love it.
I've inquired before, but who knows if it was answered (I forgot to check hehe) Can someone direct me to the radio version, that differed slightly from the video version? (not the dance mix) I like the video version (is it the album version)?, but it lacks an "oomph" that the version I heard on radio had. Thanks. :)

This was the second single from his debut album, "Get Lifted." It was written and produced by John, and will.i.am has co-writing credit on it. This was definitely his most well-known song, before "All of Me" came along. The video was directed by Kanye West. He also won Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for the song at the 48th annual GRAMMY Awards. It peaked at #4 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart, #41 at CHR/Pop, #4 in the UK and #24 on the Hot 100. Great song.

I can recognize this as a technically great song, but I also find it really boring.

I wish this had done what All Of Me did, it's so much better on every level.

His best piano ballad, but I preferred "Used to Love U" by far.
