Charlie Puth Turned Down Glimpse of Us By Joji 😨 

who did?

​@@HT.100 by Alexis Kesselman And couple more writers I forgot the names.

@@HT.100 Riley McDonough, Connor McDonough, Idarose, Joji & Castle according to Genius

@@PincheJoaks joji never wrote it.

@@BackBeater ''according to Genius''

Literally made for him

plus charlie is the most mid on earth so i’m glad he didn’t have anything to do w the song, i poured my soul into that song so many times lol

@@subject28x you have no idea what you're talking about, charlie may have some mid songs but he is insanely talented, I doubt you know anything about music theory or music producing to be able to judge him.

@@joebungus3447 I have a friend who knows him personally, and he wished he didn't XD

@@joebungus3447 here we go

turns out joji didn't make it either, i have a video that I should be uploading soon showing the true backstory for glimpse of us

Gotta agree

Just uploaded it! Watch here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ICOeQZWff_c.html

There is no such thing as good or bad. Joji only provided his vocals without involvement in the songwriting or production. Creating music, especially writing and producing, requires significant effort. In the case of this particular song, many consider it a masterpiece. While there may be singers more skilled than Joji and Charlie, the unique contribution of the composer-songwriter is irreplaceable. Joji undeniably proved to be a perfect fit for the song.

I’m glad joji took the role

I guess that's fair, it does kind of make Joji himself seem more shallow. But the song itself and the people who wrote it certainly aren't shallow and they deserve a ton of credit, especially Riley McDonough who both wrote and composed the original song with the help of Connor McDonough, Castle, and Alexis Kesselman TWO YEARS before Joji heard it. Here's a really touching statement from him about his personal connection to this song: June 10th. Two of the most pivotal moments of my life have happened on this date. June 10, 2016. - we lost a very dear friend, Christina Grimmie. I never could have prepared for the effects this night would have on my life. Being that the tragedy of losing Christina happened at our own show near where I grew up, this was very close to home both literally and figuratively. It took years of strong friendships and rebuilding to feel like a functioning human again, but it is something that will live with me forever. There were many different waves of real depression unlike I had ever known before that night. In times of sadness, my way of healing has always been writing songs. June 14, 2019 - a few days after the 3 year anniversary of losing Christina, I was really struggling at this time and life just didn't make sense. On this day, there's a voice memo I made of a song calling out to God where I asked "If I could only catch a glimpse of you". 6 months later, Dec 16, 2019 - I had a last minute writing session on a rainy Sunday with @connormcdonough, @i_am_castle_, and @idarosemusic. Many times in sessions I will just scroll the titles of my voice memos to see if anything jumps out. This day I saw the voice memo labeled 'Glimpse' and said "I love the word glimpse for something" and an entirely new idea was born. The song 'Glimpse of Us' was created that day. It wasn't until two years later, Joji heard the song and after some changes, the final version was made. June 10, 2022 'Glimpse of Us' was released to the world and went on to become the most successful song of our career as well as our first extremely notable work as songwriters. It wasn't until recently that I remembered what was said in that initial voice memo those years ago. Calling out for some bit of a sign. I now see that what I got back was tenfold to what I could have ever imagined. I write this to say that you never truly know the beauty that is constantly forming from the pain. Our hurt is never wasted. This is why I will forever pour my heart into everything I ever make. Sending only love. Thank you for listening.

@@MegaReklessmost of your favorite artists don’t write or make their own stuff. Welcome to the music business

@@jfer8152 the thing that sucks though, joji's always been very involved in his stuff. producing, writing, and putting himself into it. then this new record comes along and its all made by other people :/

@@jfer8152 I'm aware. The unacknowledged songwriters and producers of our generation and generations prior deserve far more recognition than they get in the public eye.

thats why his most recent album is split up in the halves like it is. side a is industry work, side b is his writing.

Lewis Capaldi would be perfect substitute to this song.

@@scythe1898 no he is one of the few artists who write their own songs and his songwriting is so unique

@@scythe1898 bruh

@@Manny-uf1hqfuck no

​@@Manny-uf1hqI don't think his deep Scottish voice would have done this song justice lol Also Joji writes 90% of his music

He didn't either, watch this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ICOeQZWff_c.html

Thank God😢

@@NotGoodAtRU-vid well yeah as per your video, he didn't MAKE it, but he sang and helped change it to what it is today

@@NotGoodAtRU-vid make it means success bruh

Agreed,

That dude knew his own playing field which is super respectful and humble

yeah, even charlie mentioned joji's unique voice at 1:05

Agreed

yep, even tho charlie is a cool musician, joji's version is definitely irreplaceable

There’s nothing special about his voice, it’s a very average sounding voice. It’s the sounds that accompany it as well as how he uses it that make it good.

@@aidanmercado191 there's nothing special about you aidan

Agree 100%

Most industry popular music is written by members of the songwriters guild. 90% of “artists” are simply live performers and recording artists who have the face, style, character and voice to portray certain vibes for which the guild specifically write songs for, and pass songs around till an artist is either available to do it or a match made in heaven happens which is the case with glimpse of us. Mainstream music literally comes from factories in Hollywood and New York lmfao. All carefully designed to manipulate and sway the people, which I think is what is fuckin cool about music. Really is a special artform.

@@skywalkerinyourface cool? Sounds soulless to me. I would rather listen to ai music.

@@CausallyExplainedlol

@@CausallyExplainedyou’d be happier if u just enjoyed everything without thinking about such deep details

@@CausallyExplainedai is soulless. not all singers are talented songwriters it’s two separate skills and not all can do both and not all song writers can sing either so song writers can make money from selling their songs to artists/producers and artists who can’t write can find songs that they love , to record. as long as both are credited and acknowledged that’s all that matters.

When they send a demo of the song, it might not be the full song what we know now, it might even be possible that Joji changed parts of it. Edit: He did not write it Alex Kesselman did. Edit2: Apparently she wrote for people like Grace Vanderwaal and A famous kpop group TWICE

What do you mean?

@@rajsaha1799 he means the song would be unpopular as hell or smtg

​@@mox4915 then what about his songs and see you again x attention aren't they popular songs

I love Charlie as much as I love Joji..

@@MuzammilKhan-ht6vd well. Different taste i guess

You sound like a nerd☠️

Feel like you're discounting an artist who's busted his ass to build an audience of any kind. It is interesting though.

ey b0ss

progbably wasn't even in the same key lol what are you talking about. lol some of these comments are clueless to how shit works and just spew garbage for no reason. can't we just watch videos and not make stupid comments, that with people that know nothing about music or the industry or people they are even watching.. lol. Puth is literally a prodigy, just makes bullshit pop music to make money.

@@ArikYoung nah i get Puth is more musically talented, for a mainstream guy he's really good at improvs.

He was also a very popular RU-vidr (filthyfrank) before his music career which also helped. Used to watch him religiously lol.

@@jae92797 plenty of ytbers have tried to have singing careers but failed.. it was a good jumpstart but his music career is there bc he makes good music

@idkjusttired1878Who's we? I find filthyfrank very unfunny but Joji is my favourite artist

@idkjusttired1878 I'd be listening to him without filthyfrank existing

@@yourmum955You wouldn’t even be hearing of Joji without the fanbase he built with Filthy Frank

Gay

pretty sure charlie puth is way bigger than him tho

@@krit6678 Generally speaking, more people know Charlie Puth. But on the internet, particularly RU-vid, Joji is a giant. The dude pretty much has a cult following that he built during his time as Filthy Frank. Also, he's kinda carved himself into being the face of sad boi music XD. And I think it actually fits his style really well.

Didn't matter how big charlie puth was/is, he wouldn't have done it like joji did

@@krit6678 joji is way bigger

@@Abdullah-wi1iy agree!

Every puppet yes

I mean, I knew that for a long time but the way that songs are just passed to one artist to another? That's messed up. I thought they have to at least bring in some semblance of creative input to the stuff they release...

@@RijaMo That's how it's been since the beginning of the industry. Performers are given material and if they do it well or fit the style then they get to produce it. And of course they have tons of input, that's mostly the reason why someone will be picked over another, is because their style of performing it or what they bring to the material is best. I hate to break it to you, but every industry (not just music) typically requires teams of people doing what they do best to produce a product. It's extremely rare that an artist will be the only contributor to a work, even if they're the only one singing and performing the music.

Both

Like a puppet

it’s not bad, a good written song is still a good written song regardless if the person who wrote it sings it or not, it also depends on who it’s going to and how they perform it, it shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing

Do you hate directors not writing their own screenplays, do you hate actors not writing the movies they act in? It's not that deep

How do you know all of that, genuine question

wow joji told u that?

@@buttercup234 yeah he told me this while we were in bed today, didn’t really listen that much

@@melanie34325Damn your dreams crazy

How does that disprove Charlie's story?
