This video actually premiered on 106 & Park a week ago, but I still wanted to post it because its hella catchy (though they cut out “suicidal” on MTV). We did a feature on Sean Kingston but, just incase this is your first time hearing about him – 17 year old Sean hails from Kingston, Jamaica.
“Beautiful Girls”, which samples one of my favorite oldies “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King, is the first single off his upcoming debut and self-titled album. Learn more about Sean at his myspace, and hear another hot cut he has called “Me Love”
I PICTURED HIM TO LOOK SOOOOO DIFFERENT….AND DID YALL SEE LIL JJ IN THE VIDEO??
i love how people take everything literally. he’s obviously not talking about literally killing himself? wow. anyway. i’m feelin’ the video. i love how it goes back and forth. from a 50′s vibe to a recent thing.
me too # 47!!!! I never expected such a voice to be coming from such a person. Not really into the song but why the hell do they edit out the word “Suicidal” in the edited version? Do they think that we’re gonna go out & kill ourselves after hearing it?
I like the Ben E. King sample. The video is catchy indeed.
Sigh…why are you people so litteral when it comes to innocent ass music…He doesnt mean that he really wants to kill himself. hes saying that if she left him would kill him…(be a sad thing cause he thinks shes so bananas) Anyways–This aint about his looks– is that as far as some of you broads look? I bet that if you met him youd be all on his jock tryna get that $$$ so shut up sack chasers. He’s talented-you like his damn song- and hes a breath of fresh fuckin air (especially for the summer) So enjoy his music…hes not out to be a sexy symbol..not yet of course…
hold up hold up hoooold up… y’all mean to tell me that it was a DUDE who sang this song????!!! I SWEAR on my left eyeball that it was that chick Amy Winehouse who did this song… O..M..G!
GOOD SONG

JAH JAH CITY!!!! MI LOVE THIS SONG!! But when I saw him down in Miami I was like WOW I neva seen no big Jamacian bwoy…He been in Miami for a while though.
Damn anyone can get a deal these days. smh
Wait a minute…He’s only 17 and he has a line in the song that says “back in ’99…when I went away for doin my first crime” ?!!! *SMH* todays youth, boy i tell ya…
BTW I sooo thought he was a white guy with a fake Jamaican accent. he sure fooled my ass…lol
White people luuuuvvvvv this song!!!!………….It’s catchy and fun…..so give the guy some air to breath. Stop being so critical! Light skin skinny chick in the video…a problem, fat dark skin guy in the video…..a problem……everything is a problem!

THANK YOU,
they made it this, but not at rappers glorifying murders and drug sells, that they actually have dun, while this boy obviously hasn’t committed suicide…
it’s almost like a playful term,
like when u or ur mom says “imma kill you”, do they mean it
…no
when u say, “if so & so do something one more time, imma kill myself/i;ma shoot up the place”, do u mean it
…no,, and ya’ll know ya’ll say stuff like that all the time on the msg boards
*i meant to say “they mad at this, but…”
typos like a muthafucka…
also, mtv has played many rock songs that had lyrics talking about cutting themselves, and killing themselves, and they played all of eminem’s (sp) very weird and disturbing songs, and ossy osbourne’s devil songs and videos, then they wanna cut out suicide (which i haven’t wached mtv myself to know), and they always cut out BET, when they own it know…weird
@ 78, i do believe that Lil Mama is in the video, in various scenes.
he may have talent, but sining isn’t one of them. when i first heard the song i thought it was a joke or something, i didn’t realize he was actually trying to sing. idk “stand by me” is a classic and is untouchable but at least he’s giving ppl entertainment and he’s doing what he loves. kudos
I thought it was Collie Budz or a regaeton artist. First crime in 99? Wow its just weed, he act like it was serious.lol
The first time I heard it, I knew it was gonna be a hit. All my friends are talkin’ bout it.
First time I heard it, loved it. Everyone down south is talking about it.
LOVE THE SONG 2 BAD JOJO SANG IT FIRST
N YEAH THAT IS LIL MAMA IN THE VIDEO
I have been hearing this really embarrassing attempt at being a song for the past couple of weeks now. Ever since a wannabe singing contestant sung it on TVJ Rising Stars here in Jamaica. Suicide is not a joke, its something that has hit me very close to home, my father committed “suicide” last year November and its something my family and I are trying very hard to accept and move on with out lives. Now when I hear crap like this 24-7 on the radio, all I can remember is seeing my father with his brains blown out in a pool of blood with his gun still in hand.
Its very naive to take such a controversial topic lightly. No wonder people like Michael Jackson don’t have any interest in the biz anymore. But that attempt for quick glory, fame and riches is whats flying to most of below average singing artiste head these days. The days of singing about real life issues, matters of the heart and poetry do not exist anymore. Its obvious, the world has ran out of good lyrics.
what i think is amusing is the 99 first crime thing… he was like 9.
suuuuure…..
tho evidently his mom and sister are both in jail for tax fraud.
