Controversiaga 13,345 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Cause it sounds all Akon to me during his verse except for “let me watch you break it down and” but I’ve also never heard Colby odonnis outside this song so idk what his voice actually sounds like Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
27monster27 15,463 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Here's a video of him singing it live with her in October 2008: A bit pitchy, but you can tell that it's him. I do agree that there are times where he has sounded like Akon though. he/him/his Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahrahbitchson 22,439 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Gurl you are the only one who remembers him, in fact none of us remember him even when we stream Just Dance and i bet Gaga either Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and you're set Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Gaga 2009 996 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Colby and Akon did a couple of other collabs together, it's easier to tell they sound different on these: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrian 1,696 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I used to think he did the entire 3th verse, but now you've got me questioning reality... and honestly? it's not just a slay—it's powerful. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUTELLA 22,393 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 It's actually impressive, his being a part of one of the biggest pop/dance songs ever... & then casually slinking into happy obscurity, fuss-free. Also, semi-related: it's such a mind**** knowing LG recorded her Just Dance vocals with brunette hair. Mentally, it changes everything & nothing at the same time.... 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdeadblonde 113 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 He is there. The first half of the verse up until “I’ma hit it up, beat it up, latch onto it until tomorrow” is mainly him with Akon backing but after that point the backing vocals (Akon’s Demo ones) get much louder. “Shorty I can see that you got so much energy” and “There is no reason at all why you can’t leave here with me” are either entirely or near entirely Akon. xoxo go piss girl 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigatha 981 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Akon and Colby odonnis' new song came on my Spotify the other day and he sounded nothing like akon or his vocal on Just dance, keep in mind that was the only other song I ever heard him on lol Edited April 15 by Pigatha Papa Papa rot see Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defmix100 6,852 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 yeah we have the stems, and the Akon version posted above you have hear he has a different voice but they did keep a lot of Akon's backing vocals (I believe against the record labels will or something, there was a story about how Akon wasn't allowed to be on it so he brught in Colby but kept backing vocals) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
