The remix is out, it's. It's better and the people know....
Ella needs another hit, as stated earlier...

Short-term, little picture thinking vs long-term big picture thinking failure
Short-term: this removes the more popular remix
Little picture: it's all about Ella Mai again
Long term: if she kept the remix alive, every time it plays listeners (subconsciously) also think of her music and it is another way of being relevant
Big picture: by letting other artists doing remixes she gets promoted, she stays at the forefront of the culture, she grows as a star, gets support on her projects
She and her label wanted it to be 1 way, but it's a whole other way. It's not like people are now going to think "I want to hear Jacquees' version, but it's not availabe, so I'll check Ella Mai's", no people are checking for Jacquees more now and are annoyed with her. What she should've done, is create an OFFICIAL REMIX with Jacquees on it and they should've shot a video for it. But.. they chose short-term, little picture. Could've turned this into a win-win..
She's not from the US getting a good foothold in that market, but you know it won't take much for the crowd to turn on her when she goes at a local US artist...

Coli brehs are legit having a heated argument about this 
I prefer the original but jacquees has a nice voice
Why is everyone saying Ella Mai should have made a remix with him? Wouldn't that mean she would have to pay him for a remix she never asked for? He should be paying her to jump on her shyt
Why should she break bread with him when her shyt was already popping before he decided to ride her wave? That's like you coming into my restaurant, taking my recipe, adding sugar to it then try to sell it to my customers right in front of me

that mac miller case proved you don't have to make a DIME... they can still sueI'm assuming it was monetized because Elle Mai is suing and the video has been taken down.
I'm not sure how much she could win in damages if breh didn't make a dime off the song
But if you're right and it wasn't monetized, then this is 100% just to stop the remix's popularity
nikkas couldn't wait to shyt on Ella Mai
Her singing makes it easy...
Smh damn shame
Jacquees is lowkey annoying tbh and I'm on Ella's side
She probably ain't even got nothing to do with it but breh be thirsty as hell and trying to ride off on other nikkas shyt. He's like the b*stard child of Wayne and Tory except nowhere near as talented.
I bet if he hadn't put that shyt on his official youtube channel none of this would have happened. Stick to Soundcloud next time
Half of yall nikkas say hes a nobody now you saying he annoying...which is it lol.
Both are on the same level IMO. Only difference is Ella is a contralto so her version sounds a little more somber in the beginning. I like her singing, she sounds like a more capable Rihanna to me.
shyt would be funny if telvin Campbell ppl come holla at her about the "can we talk" sample she used lol..
N beyonce, Rihanna, jorja, ect are considered 'lightskin' and WE love them..so that's clownshyt. Alicia, keyshia cole as well as others had no problem being successful lol

And another thing. Tpain is an established artist. Him doing a cover of a song is like an honor because he doesn’t actually do it a lot. Same when Ceelo did Redbone, kinda the same when Wayne did Dej Loaf (such a stupid analogy)... but those songs make you listen to the original.
Even doing covers of Chris Brown isnt nothing special because Chris isn’t an up and coming artists (see Justin Beiber)
Jaquees is an up and coming artist doing a cover of another up and coming artist... FOH
"Him doing a cover is like a honor"... not if he fukks it up.
And you said he doesnt do it alot..well this is enough

Lol at this comments..shyt was destined to blow

He shot a video
I doubt the track was on Jacquees' official YouTube channel since official YouTube channels are usually ran by the artist's record label. Most people who streamed it on YouTube, streamed it from WorldStarHipHop's official YouTube channel.
nikkas are in this thread spouting bullshyt without posting links to back-up what they are saying. Where are the receipts that Jacquees shot a music video? nikkas repeating that in this thread with no source.
how am i supposed to post the vid when everything online was wiped clean. he did make one
tho
