I supposed we’ve never listened to Gentleman (German), Matisyahu (Orthodox Jewish American) and Collie Buddz (Bermudan) speak, or sing. This guy is doing Jamaican music….not Dominican music. Same concept of say, Michele Henderson saying ‘gotta’ in an R&B song as oppose to ‘got to’….it’s cuz it plays better to the intended target audience, which…srry to say….You (Dominican) are not primarily a part of. Colton does have a long way to go and he is finding his way there through mistakes and missteps…but how about we just watch instead of ‘tryna’ rip him…or any other Dominican artiste…. #MyPeace
this sounds like an interlude for an Album! doesnt sound full and finished! i dont think this is a single it should just be a song on a album. he needs to choose the best songs as single not the ordinary album tracklisting song!
how is he going to write well if he doe start somewhere,make mistakes, learn from his mistakes,
criticism is not bad, but doe try to run him out of town,lets encourage him to be himself,i think he is searching for a style, as he mature hopefully he will get better, drop the accent and all that, by no means he has it yet, he just start to get his feet wet.
Another Negative Track,to help degrade the society..
Not Proud at at!
Big Tune ,Jah Bless.Keep doing what you do,.Just got a new fan.Bless
He’s a wonderful artist and all but he really needs a songwriter who can sit through with him to gather his emotions and thoughts then pen them to paper for him. And to my knowledge he has a song that says we can’t just be friends – now he wants to be friends.
do not give my boy talk. i like dat song.
RITE!
The energy and emotion required to support the lyrical content of this track are missing. It doesn’t sound like the artist if FEELING what he is talking about.
It also comes across as somewhat basic. There isn’t a lot of lyrical versatility in the composition.
Otherwise, it’s a decent effort, for an up and coming artist.
Why do Dominicans on here insist that everyone be “positive” all the time? I see this kind of comment over and over and over. If you think something is trash and have a valid reason for thinking so, say it’s trash. Only undeveloped oversensitive children, people unwilling to interact with reality, want to only hear “positive” things.
So we have to be negative on the weekends?
lol. No. You speak your mind honestly. If you disagree with someone, let it be because you actually disagree with something concrete in what they said, not just because their comment wasn’t “positive.” With that said, those who say something is “garbage” (as below) should be able to explain why they said that, but they should not be attacked merely for not being “positive.” That is childish. We need to grow up….
a correction DNO it;s Tige not Tiger! Way to go Colty! I”m rooting for ya! Keep it up!
look accent papa
I made that same comment to someone a few days ago when i saw colton on a tv programme. He was talking with this accent having gone to primary school with the guy then i met up with him in college again. I wondered where the accent came from. But i guess it has something to do with the image he is trying to put forth.
Not much of a fan but i am happy to see him doing good and prospering.
I wish him all the best in his musical endeavours!
Either the haters on this topic just jealous of the young man, or ether they wish they could at least put together one line to sound close to what he is doing.
it bugs me to see our people will just try to tear down positive attempts at personal improvements in a country that have little or no avenue for the youtes.
‘Haters’if you ‘laissez’ the hate and say ‘nothing’ if you can’t say ‘anything’good, you will feel less stress and depress about yourself and your situation.
It appears that this young man is engage in trying to improve his art and is spending a lot of time doing that, which will eventually pay off for him,while the haters are spending the same time doing nothing,as such they have nothing to show for it,so they resort to the crab in a barrel tecnique.
Colton keep doing what you are doing your are on the road of destiny and non of the Haters should deter you, the road is long and rough, be Strong and Tough,you just begin keep on singing.
to all the people criticizeing the kid,i say to you all this nonsensecical hating emotions,everyone got to start somewhere,and this kid is no different,whatever he is doing,he is doing it for himself,he will find his way and he mature prosper.
It is said that if you do not have something nice to say then say nothing at all. But in a case like that negative criticism is needed to better oneslef. Nice voice but rubbish song.
Good luck Col keep up the good works and don’t let negative talk bring you down
What man calls himself a ting? The cutest ting far less. I appreciate your effort to stay out of trouble but please go back to school before its too late. Music is not your calling. And the Jamaican way you speak is pathetic
the good book said,”he who finds a wife finds a good thing”
this is not soo bad but its not a summer smasher! maybe he should try more music like asher thomas, chad astaphan and anderson angol! just a sayin… and wats up with the jamaican acent?? is he jamaican???/
Precisely! The accent is really stupid and annoying, doubt he’s ever been to Jamaica to begin with. You can’t be something you’re not, be yourself by yourself. Also his genre of music is cool but he could mix it up for a larger fan base.
maybe if those names were factors in dominica…but since they arent!!!…we love his music and his jamaican accent so if you dont like it dont listen.
real garbage
And here I was thinking im the only one with a decent taste in music.
hope ur home is clean #hater
BAP BAP BAP SUPPORT LOCAL… COLTON T….. another tune
Not to be negative, but as a music critic, I need some more energy. As Simon Cowell would say, this song did nothing to me.
The thumbs down on a comment like this just go to show how immature some of the people on here can be. A person merely saying a song did nothing for him deserves thumbs down? BS. No artist grows if all he/she hears is “I love it” and “this is great” unless the art really and truly is flawless.
way to go…you are blessed with talent.
KOOL . KEEP ON DOING WHAT U A DOING REALLY NICE .BLESS
Well I just wasted a few minutes of my life that I will never get back listening to this. You fail at music, try something else, acting or dancing or something. Or go back
to school.
Big Up Yuh Self Colton T Dah One Deh Syiiiiiiiiiiiiick
Any thing positive any body positive will do for me congratulations! Bro, once it is not a crime or some fool robing a tourist it is all good. That`s all we need positive news. Keep it that way I hope?
this is my new fav…can’t get enough, keep them coming mr. t
Got a good voice but have to use it on conscious music which sends a positive messages to the world. Music is the only language the whole world can identiy with, so if we are goning that route ,we have to do it wisely. To waste a life time on songs that just last as a fast food does and not doing a thing for the people that are looing to be edify by the message and music.
Are you offering your services? Bcuz to my knowledge he writes all his songs. Hmmmmm If you need a job just say so.
Oh grow up! It’s good advice which he should take so that he has a better chance of making it.
the ignorance of some dominicans….smh
get lost girl stupz i have youself have one
My assessment of Colton T to those concerned-He has talent; good voice, interesting style/swag but he needs a song writer.
Take note!
maybe a writer may be a good addition but colton’s songs are about the things he sees as problem in the country some are about his personal opinion on things….he is a young man he sings about things young ppl are going through…..if he allows someone to write his songs fuh him he would be singing about someone else view on things
