In some of the song it sounds like he's trying to sound like Brandy. lol I always thought that about everything he does. Is the mix of the song in the video different or something? His voice sounds a lot more annoying than I remember it when I first heard this song. The vocals are like a mix of Brandy's on "I Tried" and Amerie on "1 Thing." Really whiney and weak. I agree that the video is Usher-ish, but you can't blame Ray J for trying.

I just heard the album version and the a capella version. His vocalz are crazy on this song. To yall who saying that he cant' sing..think again. he sang every word..bkgd and everything. It's not an easy song to sing. Most the artists out right now couldn'ta did it. Ray J is very talented

He aint tryna sound like Brandy. They just sound alike..they always have. They're brother and sister. They sing together all the time so their tones are the same. Lots of siblings have similar sounds. Plus she probably vocally arranged this song :) I love it

Yeah spins are picking up. He still doesnt have the major markets yet, NY, LA, Philly and Dallas. So if these cities pick up he'll be doing phenomenally, esp for an indie. He just needs requests from those cities!
Oh yeah, and I picked up the album Raydiation, this week. Ray J really did his thing on it. He grew up. His voice is way stronger! Good job Ray J!

One Wish is in fact gaining a lot of spins! And it hasnt offcially gone to Top 40 stations yet, but a few have picked it up already. It debuted this week at 84 on the Hot 100. Its starting its rise yall just watch and see. Also Raydiation is in Stores now and the album is CRAZY HOT!

It is really sad, the song definitely sounds like an Usher reject, but his vocals are in this weird key that he can't even pull off. And what does showing his abs in the video have to do with the song? These R&B male singers are really feeling themselves a little too much. We see u working out, but can u work on ur vocals? thanks

I know he sounds horrible on this. Why would anybody sing in a whiny, off-key way like that. The arrangement of the song is hot, but when you actually listen to his voice, you have to say, "I know he could've done better than." This is kind of disappointing, and they released his CD two weeks ago with little fanfare or promotion which was a mistake taken that the song has not really reached its peak.

I think this song is so passionate and his vocals gives the song a feel of desperation and want. I like it and understand the song for what it is. It's great

Who the hell would have ever imagined that Ray J would be having way bigger hits than his sister?

He does sound really annoying, especially when his weird vibrato choking thing that he tries (similar to his sister's) goes up and down talking about checking into a clinic or whatever. It kills the ears.
I love the beat though. Its very relaxing and I wouldn't mind an instrumental version of this track to listen to every now and then. Anyone know the producer?

I been saying this song was gonna be big for a while now, and all the haters here refuted me. See, just let music speak for it self. Same goes for brandy. She will do her thing and shut the constant haters up! Just wait until her first single and ray second! They gonna kill it!

I'm very selective on R&B songs and particular, this had to grow on me. I like the song, like someone said, but the vocals are lacking. It sounds like the guy is singing from his nose instead of his diaphragm, too nasal, really. Sounds like he had an extreme case of an absolutely bad cold that was hard to get rid of! And yes, the guy sounds an absolute whiner.
