For those that don't know, this guy has produced and written many hit songs for lots artists including Maroon 5, Cheryl Loyd, Justin Bieber, Olly Murs, Nick Jonas etc...
Mike Posner sings as if he's telling me his story.... I love how acoustic this performance is. You can hear his voice clearly. I hope he can produce more amazing songs!! One of my fave artists now
I like how he slows down painstakingly enunciates the last verse and chorus to get it through to everyone so they don't accidentally miss the point of the song.
+MysteriousBlast its still called Took a Pill in Ibiza but the song you hear on the radio is actually a remix. Just search "took a pill in ibiza (original) "
Disappointing to see all of the negativity in the comments section when most of you haven't dedicated any of your time to see what this man is about. He's truly a beautiful soul and I'm proud to say that I support him and his new movement to live his life unapologetically true to who he is as a person. Keep up the good work Mike, I'll be here to support!
I went back to listen to his "Cooler Than Me" performance & comparing the two a lot has definitely changed in the years that passed like there is a more genuine feel to his music. It's amazing.
I'm glad Mike graciously admitted that the SeeB remix completely improved his original acoustic version, and incorporated the sax into his standard performance. The bit the sax plays is the best thing about this song.
I really liked him when he was big back than! I got to see him in concert with a few of my friends a few years back! He is an awesome performer! So much energy and loads of fun I found myself even enjoying some of the songs I didn't even know! He has such high energy and is a blast to see live. Glad to see he's back and with some great new music will definitely being seeing him live again!
+Redi Dibrani The original is just him and his guitar. To be honest, the closer version to the original is the one he did on Conan. But there are a few vids out there of just him and the guitar and it's beautiful.
+Redi Dibrani You gotta remember though, the one we've all heard is the remix. The original is just him and guitar; only reason he changed part of it here is that everyone knows the remix better than the original. So it can be done live, just with some modifications in this particular situation. :P
If youre an artist whos after fame, after money and you achieve those things then you got no reason to go forward. But if your goals are to make great music, to be a better and better singer, to be a better and better writer, than thats a life long journey and that doesnt end. said the genius that is Mike Posner
He sounds soo good live
Ikr!!!
He really does😱
He does
+mazal nimbi Such a weak voice !
I saw him live a a few months ago, he did six songs. There's a video on my channel if you want to check it out.
Funny how this tune can make you feel upbeat and yet the lyrics are incredibly sad..
Ever heard "Semi Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind? Same effect.
agreed, the song is really depressing
when he performed on conan(I think) he changed the lyrics in the last verse to him talking about his dad having cancer and it's so sad
LET ME OUT LET ME OUT! This is not a dance
-tiny rick
Knew all the words to cooler than me, but never knew what he looked like!
Same
He recently changed his hair
+Bellaizzle what hair? lmao
+Stan the stuff above his head
same
i know the real version and the acoustic version, but this was like a mashup of both of those versions! really good! and that sax... damn..
Saxophone guy killed it... Was so good
ImTheOnlyAstro totally
Irk
This gets me pumped for summer for some reason. I just love the vibe from this song
same
Same
The lyrics to this song are so sad how does it pump you up lmaooooo
yaaas i heard it everywhere
WhiteBoyGaming101 Yeah sonically it's pretty dope

Looks like Eminem, sounds like Passenger
true
Yesssss
Hes passinem
+Swabulous Forever Get out.
Yasss
"my name is a reminder of a pop song people forgot"
Now he is never gunna be forgoten
He looks happy. He's a real talent. Glad he got his life back on track.
that color hair on him actually looks pretty cool! super unique
+Iris Rose Right, like possibly weird on anyone else, but it looks so fitting for him
He wrote a hit song about how he only had 1 hit song lol. Now hes stuck up on that stage singing a sad song, how ironic
Genius. Sings about being a one hit wonder but that song catapults him out of that category. Respect
The way the band smiles when they get their groove on is so alluring ☺️
You know someone's worth seeing live when they somehow sound better live than they did recorded 😍
Chloe Prime I know just like Camila cabello
When he says" my name is a reminder of a pop song that people forgot" is he talking about"Cooler than me".
Yeah
really captain obvious -.-
So many people are saying that and I've listened to both a ton and I still can't see the reference. Someone please explain
+Swimsalot123 basically he's admitting that he was a one hit wonder
oh wow.. that is really true.. and look, he's nominated for grammys
love how he combined the original version and the remix...great performance!
I like how he slows down painstakingly enunciates the last verse and chorus to get it through to everyone so they don't accidentally miss the point of the song.
Hey I never knew ASAP Rocky plays the saxophone lol
😂
Ha true
LOOOOL
+rick fox Thats not ASAP you idiot its travis scott
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's so good to listen both versions and realize both are really good
He looks so cute
hi
+Lovatic Fighter What does that even mean...
+kerimcan bowden hi✌️
+kelsey pawiroredjo Ikr
Lauren and camila
He gives me chills everytime he sings, Deserves more recognition
this version felt way more emotional :'(
it's the original.
I can't get enough of this song.
+Alain Bruno this performance is awesome!
+Alain Bruno I love his voice!
+silvia tiana it's playback
Just saw him live & met him about a month ago and he's honestly so humble and honest. I adore him.
I just want someone to look at me the way mike posner's drummer looks at him
For real though 😂😂
The words in this song is just amazing.
Grammar Nazi knocks on the door.
+Alex Zapf real nickpicker is in the building.
He looks so happy to be performing again (:
This is such an honest song
There's something about Mike in this performance that makes him seem so incredibly genuine
What a great live performance. So authentic and pure.
I loved "cooler than me" when I was younger, and I recently fell in love with this song. Didn't realize it was the same artist for like 2 months, lol.
I love this song! such great lyrics!
- What do you call a one-hit wonder who has had two hit songs?
- Mike Posner :)
yikes ;)
*two-hit wonder
+shmoolicious Except he's written plenty of hit songs, including Boyfriend by Justin Bieber. I'd hardly call him a one- or two-hit wonder.
He also had bowchickawowwow and please don't go. Plus he wrote Justin Biebers boyfriend and maroon 5's sugar
And drug dealer girl was pretty rad. And he was in that Cher Lloyd song
Bass player and Drummer feel the Vibe!!! great energy, with everyone in audience as well. A "moment of being" i wish i was there M.P.
That saxophone is just amazing😌😌
Pitbull jamming at the back at 2:17
BAHAHAHAHAH
No it's vin diesel😎😂
+Jim Cadogan FACT: Every bald person is either Pitbull or Vin Diesel
i wish we and him are together
the original is so sad... its the same lyrics but slower and so much more emotional.
What's the original?
+MysteriousBlast its still called Took a Pill in Ibiza but the song you hear on the radio is actually a remix. Just search "took a pill in ibiza (original) "
This is so much better than the studio version!💞
Im so glad hes getting back into music 😍
I like this happy version of a song about only knowing sad songs. So good.
Damn people are not giving this guy respect. Listen to the lyrics and not the beat for once in your life.
yep this is a sad song in fun song clothing.
I never thought much of this song until I saw this performance yesterday and came back to watch now! So good.
Great performance! Love the saxophone part!
He sounds so good live !!❤️
2:16 Damn, if Pitbull himself shows up to your gig, you know you're on the right track!
Lame
lmao
Waiting on the Fiesta Pitbull Remix. "I took a pill in Puerto Rico"
he es cuban not puerto rican.
Quickly get out Mike he'll want to make a collab with you..
Been a fan of Mike Posner for a long time so glad to see him!!!!!!
Disappointing to see all of the negativity in the comments section when most of you haven't dedicated any of your time to see what this man is about.

Keep up the good work Mike, I'll be here to support!
Mike Posner is the most talented and genuine person in music right now. Sammy Adams is the only person who even comes close.
He kinda sound like a male Ellie Goulding.. Love it.
yeah
fuck I was totally thinking of exactly the same thing. and I'd love them do a feature or anything!
+AK97 Except he's a good singer.
true 😂
He looks a bit like her as well....hmmmm
I like how when he does the song live it's like a mixture of the original and the remix
I've waited 6 effing years for this album. 31 minutes to take off was one of the most under rated albums of its time. Every song was gold
He sounds amazing live
love the Saxophon part
yes
This man is epic! He turned negatives in his life into another hit song, we can all learn something from his positive spirit.
AH this is so good!!! the musician are enjoying themselves and I'm smiling to myself here and this rendition just give me chills!!!
realy like this version!!
hes just so cute and has just an amazing voice I love him!
2019 and I'm watching all the stage performances of this song ❤
Best part at 2:07 when hes feeling himself he goes "UHG" great live performance.
This was really bloody good! ❤️
He threw up the peace sign at the end, Buying his album confirmed XD
🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
lol
+OhYeahItsJake i got it on torrent by you should totally buy
+Banter Foelife listen to the song he sings it differently
I went back to listen to his "Cooler Than Me" performance & comparing the two a lot has definitely changed in the years that passed like there is a more genuine feel to his music. It's amazing.
Wheres graphic designs guy? Oh wait
😂
+Katie Woowww haha
+Katie what happened to him ?
+Maiah Rosen nothing haha it's not buzzfeed.
Hahahahaha

Omg I love both versions! This one almost made me cry.... Almost.
anyone else find it hilarious that in England this song is called 'In Ibiza' cause 'a pill' was just too much for us to hear! 😂
it's a sad song, but his voice is like silk in the wind.
KILLED ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
The saxophone sounds great!❤️
Eminem plays guitar?
*slim shady
+Priscilla Walker haha
+Priscilla Walker *Marshal matters xD
Hahahahaha
this has me dying lol
He's so natural on stage !
The band guys smiling like 'damn our man is killing it'
I could listen to that voice for days on end!!
this performance is pretty perfect
been a MIKE POSNER fan since i was 13, im 18 now, just wow
I was 15 now I'm 20
+Andrias you won't believe, but ones a 11 years old is now 16
naivchen_
wow!!! that's amazing. I'm surprised
I'm his cousin, so I guess you can say I've been a Mike posner fan my whole life lol
yankeesrock913 no way??
I like how the band members are smiling, having a good time etc ^_^
I remember watching him at a concert once. So glad to see that he made a comeback!
so much better than hearing the radio version of the song.
this song is NOT meant to be sang live, not really. more of club song. But he fucking pulled it off with flying colors. Great job and great song.
+Redi Dibrani The original is just him and his guitar. To be honest, the closer version to the original is the one he did on Conan. But there are a few vids out there of just him and the guitar and it's beautiful.

He sounds totally amazing ??
The orginal no the remix yes
WTF are you talking about?
WAITED FOR THIS SO LONG!
That drummer is the happiest drummer I've ever seen lmao
All I can think about when he sings this is about how these lyrics actually reflect him.
. But he so cute thooooo
+bbabe46 Well I mean... the song is about him, soooo..
Ellen knows who to choose
I like this song so much
Wow he's such a good entertainer. This made me love the song so much more.
The last verse and chorus are so beautiful
Am I the only one who never knew he sang cooler than me?
Nope
Yes
nope
No, I had no clue until I seen this video
how did not that song is still my life
wow! I didnt know Ellen and Eminem had a child. Good for them.
I love Mike so much!! All his songs are so good😍
amazing MA fav song so far seeing him in a concert can't wait!!
For once, actual vocals that sounds good.
Bunch of artists with good vocals that came on this show ? What?
DAMNN the sax with the SEEB remix. :D
whats the original sound like?
Sad
Yep..... The original is a sad song (I think)
+TwistedDonkey search it on both songs are sad but the remix brain washes you to think its about clubbin and fun though it's very sad
+Wild Thang (S) If these kids would actually listen to the words, they'd know it's not a happy, funtime song. But they just care about how it sounds.
he seems so chill
love this song..
Its like jesse pinkman and ellen had a baby
Check out the version he performed in Conan
This song is a sad song ,that well,..makes me happy!
Love all of his music truly , glad to see him back in the spotlight
