[PANOSKINGMASTER]

@bijoutje

Dutch are difficult for people who dont live in northen countries.French is supposed to have a more difficult accent but for southern Europeans French are easier.

[Silviojameslojam]

@jaybrannan dutch is a diffucult language en even harder to sing it

[mathysmallville]

OMG, you're not the same kid who is in the other video right? Smooking HOT!

[JimmyMcqueen]

@mathysmallville thats not him, this is a cover by gay american singer/actor Jay Brannan.

[mokakaulitz]

Can it say to me the chords of guitar of this song?

[MyDemi1999]

Is hij een Engelse die een Nederlands liedje zingt??

[15JxxT15]

[bb0ness]

For someone who didn't learn Dutch from beginning this sounds AMAZING! You do a better job than the most people I know :)

[yamixyoukai]

amazing pronouncation^^(don't know if I spelled it right, but who cares) I'm amazed love it^^ Dutch isn't the easiest language to learn/speak and you were amazing^^

[MrWesley538]

it is wonderfull

nice job

[kondt]

This is the best version of this song! I like your accent!

[Halloweengirl1981]

you really did a good job. :-D

[markimark03]

well done!!!! :-)

[JHLA2008]

Hey, this is nice! I allready said i really like you're creativity, but you singing in dutch (or making sounds similair to it) really kicks ass!! Love what u do!

[JHLA2008]

@ME: I took a look at the lyrics of this song and i must admit your dutch is pretty good. I didn't know what to make of it at first but when i heard it with the lyrics it was obvious. So, good job Jay! Sounds like more...

[spatiebalkjee]

haha awesome :P

[schredder12]

yup Dutch is very hard but this sounds very good

[ragul1987]

love u

[Noudjuh1991]

Yeah I have to admit, for a foreigner your Dutch is pretty good ( I'm dutch too and I know how hard it is to learn the dutch language).

So my thumbs are up ;)

[aheart4thelost]

I wish i could learn this on the guitar i love this song.

[nicksynnz]

You dutch is not good but your rendition of the song is nice. I think you could learn something from Terence Uphoff the original singer.

[simpleplanandavril]

he's great!

[fiyerbal77]

hey im dutch and for a non dutcher your pretty good actualy its funny XD i like it respect man respect

[Michielvm]

I'm hoping you'll come to the Netherlands another time, 'cuz I SO want to be there ^_^

[guuszzie]

[JootJe123456]

[xIrisYeah]

Too cool dude!!!

Not too bad :)

Respect!!!!

[AnoukHoofd]

[Griffinjoshua]

[escada4u2]

@Matthijs What I don't understand is why you feel the need to post a comment like that. And just like you, I'm sorry too.

[matthijs199115013]

Youtube isn't a fan board. Criticism is allowed.

[matthijs199115013]

I'm dutch and i couldn't understand it. Sorry.

[LifeAggrandizing]

You had a disco ball!  Hopefully they'll have one next time you come to Dallas. :o)

[Athildur]

Ah, what a great night it was. Well done, Jay! It's not often that I hear an english native speaker talk dutch so well!

[MaverickCoffeeCup1]

The song was great!

But I hope they were laughing at WHAT you were singing and not HOW you were singing it. (That's what i do when I listen to some of your songs, anyway. They're like Chuck Palahniuk books in a song form, only much better!)

[funnyhunny07]

[lancecowboy]

You are always the best on tours in front of an audience, Jay. Can you post the lyrics, and perhaps the translation, too?

[evertunconnected]

[Jazzabelle85]

OMG amazing!!! Still bummed I was in Germany yesterday :( I'll be there, next time for real!!

[yanndick]

Since they love it, i guess your dutch is (at least) as good as your french ! You're good with foreign languages, Jay. Bravo !

Have a great tour in Europe !

[heavenzky]

When did you come to The Netherlands =/ I would've gone if I knew.

[DJSkatastic]

Awesome dude!

[tineke9988]

Oh, Jay, I love your voice. And I've always loved this song, sung by that little boy. This is like combining peanut butter and chocolate - a great idea. And your Dutch was surprisingly good!

[ascarius]

Hey Jay!

You were great last night. Your eyes, your voice, your guitar and your lyrics agreed all together at the same time to touch me deeply... Thanks!

O

[tessheuvel]

[N0Morning]

[jaz36]

[Kinderen voor Kinderen song - Two Fathers]

[jaz36]

Sang by an adopted kid in a Dutch kids show: I have two fathers Two real fathers Who, if they have to Both can be my mother SOmetimes I get bullied at school Of course it's not nice Your parents, they are homo! They find it strange Then I just shrug my shoulders So what! I'm their son!

[comico120]

You are sexy as shit!

[alexclimbstrees]

I smiled at the song. Amazing.

[dafttool]

So sweet & cool that you make the effort to sing in the languages of your host countries. It shows you care about your audience. :)

[taddoo7]

sounded good to me.. (since I can't understand it at all!) nothing sexier than a man that can speak multiple languages... How many languages can you speak Jay.. not perfectly.. but how many languages can you speak a little bit at least.. and kind of understand?.. just curious.. and i think it always helps if you are singing it.. event if it doesn't sound perfect.. like if you were speaking it.. I'm sure it comes across much better if it is sung.

[jaybrannan]

i only speak english!! :( sad but true...

[taddoo7]

...seriously?!.. wow.. I just assumed from some of your posts from your concert dates, that you actually could speak all these languages that you had sung all these songs in.. had me fooled... haha... you're still sexy as hell singin in them anyway.. then again, you could sing just about anything and make it sound sexy.. at least to me anyway.. while I have your attention.. You have any dates(concert dates planned for SoCal?! Have you ever performed in Palm Springs?.. again, I mean singing! Lol

[kevinbradleymaddox]

and you speak it perfectly ;) Haha. In addition to that, you're lucky, 'cause almost everyone understands English, at least in the Netherlands they do :)

So no worries!

[andreasscholl]

Im so sad that I couldnt come to your show!!!!!

Brava for La Brannan...;-)

x

[gossipgazel76]

You have a beautiful voice in all languages and your songs are always so great.

[XMusic93]

Pretty good.

[omgitsarabbit]

:d jay that's awesome, i speak dutch at home, i live in belgium you sang that very good

[kevinbradleymaddox]

Jay, it was simply amazing. it´s great that you came to Amsterdam and even better that you made a real show out of it (especially the interaction with the audience) To top it off you sang something in Dutch (and believe me, it was pretty good for an American ;)).

Looking forward to your next visit here! :D

[boochiboochi]

It's awesome, how awesome you are! :-))

your dutch is cool! Your hebrew is cool, your german is cool, your french is cool.......... I think its realy important for the audience to hear you singing in their language. You come closer with them.. I am so happy, you come next week to Cologne!!! Yepi-yeahhh!!! See you on your concert.

[Steffied]

The concert was really great yesterday!!! And I was so surprised when you started singing this song, because it means a lot to me.

[wiloconyx]

The concert was amazing!!!!!

PLEASE COME BACK AGAIN JAY!

I Had the night of my life!

[GentleTaipan]

Is that a stack of stroopwafels on your stool? I saw your comment on facebook about how amazing they are, apparently the dutch saw it, too. lol. Your voice is beautiful.

[dannewstv]

One word. AWESOME!

[ethanpschwartz]

Of all the Dutch songs. I love it.

[aubreeM]

your voice sounds beautiful in any language :)

aubree & melissa

[selinauno]

Did you ask anyone in the crowd if they were laughing because of the words to your song? Or to the interpretation of their language?  LMAO...

[Griffinjoshua]

We were cheering for him! Cause he was trying so hard :)

And because of the fact that he was singing in dutch :)

[rg0057]

I'm guessing this song has a different meaning when Jay sings it :)

[KeithSwanger]

Translation please. :D

[nickinstl]

Great job, Jay. I always start crying when I watch the original video. I'm a dork.

[yescandles]
