Jason Derulo si the original artist of the song. But in the chorus Imogen Heap sings it. And he didnt steal the song from her. He got her permission. All they did was took the clip from that song and sped it up a bit and there ya go.. :)
Actually this guy is wrong about Jason Derulo. Imogen heap did sing it but Jason isn't the original artist of the song. The song is called Hide and seek. It may take a while to get to that part but its there.
ACTUALLY, you're both wrong! Both of those artists sampled it from Justina.

Um, I'm not sure about that Justina part, and even though I would rather not heavily rely on Wikipedia for the right answers, they seem to know what they're talking about in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whatcha_Say when they say that it "heavily samples the song "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap." To me, that says enough.

T pain and Jason Derulo because there are 2 versions the older version and new one. Jason derulo version is the newer one and T pain was the older version of the song
Jason Derulo is the artist behind the hit Whatcha Say. This song premiered in 2009 and was the free video of the week in October 2009 and was also highlighted in an episode of Gossip Girl.
Imogen Heap was the first artist to use that line in her song "Hide and Seek" in May of 2005. Jason Derulo later made a song (May 2009) titled "Whatcha Say" using that specific line with permission from Heap. Afterward an artist named Justina made a song titled "Whatcha Say" as well using the same line in "response" to Derulo's song. So, Imogen Heap was first, then Jason Derulo, then Justina.
The song isJason Derulo - Whatcha Say
If you are referring to the song "The Rose" sung by Bette Midler in the movie "The Rose" she sang it first but the writer Amanda McBroom also covered it the next year in 1980 on one of her own releases. So I have to say Bette is the original artist.
No, Jason Derulo took the hook from a song called "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap. So basically no otherwise it would be called Whatcha say by Jason DeRulo (ft Miley Cyrus)
Its from an SNL skit / Digital Short featuring Shia le Beouf.
