Maybe YouTube converts stereo to mono to save bandwidth in some display options ...

or only converts one channel on the video ...

As we can't hear the file and cannot examine it, we can only guess at what the problem might be.
Do other files work correctly? Is it just this one song that has the problem? Where did this song come from?

As an experiment, what happens if you convert the song to mono (Tracks menu > Stereo Track to Mono)?

Then your vocals have inverted phase in one channel.
Do you still have a multi-track copy with the vocals on a separate track from the beat?

No I don't think so how do I check if I do have one or not?

@knuckles,
Did you ever do a "File > Save Project" or "File > Save Project As" whilst working on this song? If so, you need to find the .aup file that Audacity created and open that file into Audacity. If you never did either of those then you almost certainly don't have the necessary multi-track file that Steve mentioned.
