  • her name is fanny bosrtrum and she is not very nice - met her wen she was a model backstage at fashion week she was rude

  • Comment removed

  • love it! the girl who plays edie sedgwick did really good. even her facial expressions

  • I only watch this because that girl in the vid is without a horse or a porshe......anyone know who she is I want to google her!

  • I love this version sooooo much. Beautiful Will. This song is what made me a fan.

  • Perfection is Will Young. What an amazing voice!

  • really good, i like this version too :)

  • i honestly dont see the problem with this verison...its actually pretty good

  • this version suuuckks!!!!!!!!!!!! obey the original version of the doors was very better of this shit

    LIVE FOREVER JIM!!

  • Jims dead, long live Will! this version is based on the Jose Feliciano did anyway.

  • I agree that the Doors version is the best by far, however Wills interpretation is based upon a version sung by Jose Feliciano and I think its actually very good. Its fine to prefer one version over another but why the need to be so wound up. If you do not like it then don't listen and stop being suc drama queens.

  • The people leaving these comments need to step through the door....(no pun intended).I'm sure Jim would've wanted it that way.(LOL)

  • yeah he seriously raped it, killed it, buried it and spit on it's grave.

    plus, edie was way cuter.

  • too bad this guy isn't a doors fan, or else he wouldn't of raped the song of what made it great...

  • This is a pretty good cover, I especially love the Edie Sedgwick  based video.

  • Me too :)

  • anybody else think Will looks like the guy who plays Henry Vlll in The Tudors (?)

  • Yes, a bit.

  • the song of my first love...we were dancing in a disco and this song was the last at the night, at 6 o clock... we kept dancing also when the song stopped..sorry for my bad english

  • it completely loses the whole escence of the song, 2 kinds of ppl watching this, ppl who heard this version before doors, and ppl who came to see him fail at covering the greatest band ever

  • The Doors are much better

  • Dude, the sixties are over.

  • He has a gorgeous voice! Love him.

  • *w*

  • The most beautiful version of this piece of the Doors, the cover are usually horrible, but this personage has done really the perfect work, thank you to have posted it... Sawtooth

  • i ♥ this song sooooooooooo much....

  • Good song, bad cover

  • that girl should stop trying to act like edie.

  • Well that was the whole point of the video, darling. Can't you see they took a look-alike, dressed and made-up the same way, and took the same pics/views that made edie famous.

  • okay, but she was absolutely fine how she was. they didn't need to remake her. and they definetely didn't need to remake this song! they ruined it :(

  • It's a tribute hun!!! Has nothing to do with trying to change her!!!

  • The cover fails because the original was more than just the lyrics. Matter fact the lyrics are secondary to the solo's of the original.

    This replaces the instrumental part with something generic and more pronunciation on the lyrics - which is kinda lame. They aren't enough to stand on by themselves when sang like that. Sounds like some generic RGB song (VS a good one).

  • Oh c'mon, give the guy the chance! I dont think this cover is half bad at all.

    Just cos youre a Doors fan doesnt mean youre opinion is superior. I agree the original is better (originals nearly always are) but just cos people think otherwise doesnt mean they're deaf!

  • Shit cover

  • Wrong.However it is your opinion.

    Would you like to elaborate on your claims, or would you prefer to just look obnoxious and moronic?

  • LOL

  • Uhh.. this is a shit cover lol

  • Hey R0b1zzle137. Been thinking what you said and you is still made naff comments, original songs live long and covers can be done by anyone (even you maybe?) this was covered by Sherley Bassey (fair) will young's cover was based more like Jose Feliciano's (great) than Jim's so don't keep saying Its not the same as Jim's ---ITS a version???

  • compared to Jose Feliciano´s this aint good, just ripped..just my opinion..

  • does anyone know which album this is on, thanks

  • The gay one

  • Aren't some people strange!!!...this is only one version of this song.

    It's not based on the Doors song it's more in line with the Jose Feliciano's version.

    Will was very new to the music business when he first sang this arrangement. In the auditions. He was encouraged to do an original version.

    Nobody's sexual preferences effect their vocal chords. Will's twin brother is straight and can sing. Having a good voice is obviously in their genes.

  • You must be outta yer mind...If this is not an inspiration from the doors then you obviously need to get a brain cleanse!!!

  • I think he sings this really well.

  • this guy is a mix of hugh dancy, perez hilton (haha), gael garcia bernal sometimes in this video at 54 sec its crazy and rufus wainwright

  • hey rob1izzle137, your comments are warped, I am also a DOORS fan (probably much longer than you) and this version is Fantastic, it is only a version and is not meant, I think, to sound like jim, (Will can't)

  • I highly doubt you have seen the Doors live with Jim Morrison, back in '67. Jim Morrison would hate this version of the song. To begin with, this guy has no soul in his singing, hes just a John Mayer rip off. This version of the song is completely away from what the Doors wanted it to sound like, and yes I know it's a cover so it shouldn't exactly sound the same. Then again, that doesn't mean this guy can just turn a great song into a fucking pop wedding song.

  • Good song or bad song, this is why I started listening to the Doors and I love this song (version) for that!

  • class

  • wojewodzki mu pocisnal ladnie

  • This sucks, especially compared to the original. Being a hardcore Doors fan, I thought I would like this, but this is made completely oppositely of how the Doors made it. This sounds like a goddamn wedding song, where did the REAL energy go?

  • Indeed. Basically his arrangers have taken one of the most raucous, exuberant, energy-packed rock songs in history, sucked the soul out of it and turned it into this turgid, middle of the road, vapid piece of shit.

    When they bring out the big photo of Jim, I feel physically sick. Bet he's rolling in his grave.

  • Musically better than the original, nice melody, sound and version.

  • delikatny i piękny:)

    super!

  • como en la voz de Jim jamas sonará con la misma fuerza...

  • Comment removed

  • questa e la canzone che mi ricorda il mio ex. era la nostra canzone. .. sentirla mi emoziona.

  • love it

  • I heard rumors that will young covered this song but I thought people were just trying to get to me. WHY? this is horrible don't do this to classics worst than Tiesto doing Samuel barbers adagio for the strings. If your going to cover a song at least put some effort into it and try to show some appreciation for the song.

  • Supertramp120.... Tiesto's Adagio for strings is a masterpiece.

    xoxo

  • i agree

  • you clearly no idea what your talking about... if you don't know it, then don't talk about it

  • Dear Viewer: I really enjoy Jose Feliciano, Shirley Bassey and this new youngster Will Young in his cover of "Big Jim's" 1967 Anthem "Light My Fire"- 1967- a summer we all remember will remember well. except for Vietnam. Dan K., Grafton, Mass.

  • its terible pfui yfghydndgb  du blut z tohoto se mi chce zvracet

  • i love this song <3

  • hahaha is will young supposed to be Paul America?

    This so funny

    Why is this video literally copied ciao manhattan but without the main person which is Edie Sedgwick?

    its a nice tribute i guess no?

  • she reminds me sharon tate

  • so love imm

  • sorry i ment that wrestling dude freak

  • very hot this music 1

  • the main girl in this is purely stunning

  • I'm an italian fan of the Doors, and expecially of Jim Morrison. This fag is trying to emulate the Great Lizard King... but this is only shit...he should pray Morrison to forgive him...the songs of the Rock Shaman made the story of rock and Will tries to sing them??? Shame!

  • I'm actually a big Doors fan myself(for proof just look at my channel) and I think this version is a great tribute and interesting take on the original.And if you researched the song you would know that Robby Krieger wrote this and not Jim and he likes this.

    One more thing,Calling a homosexual a 'fag' is not only incredibly disgusting but it also shows your ignorance and low level of mentality.

  • Let me explame something to you. First of all, the song was made by Robby Krieger and Jim Morrison, together. Then, I respect the homosexuals (I am a fan of Freddy Mercury, and he was gay), but I call them "fag" when they do something that annoy me. I read on your channel that you have my same age... I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, and I hope that these words will make you to understand what I mean. I'm sorry. Alex

  • I find it funny that those who profane they have purity of the doors... well if they are really old enough or seem to have a profile that any proof that they have any say in how show that they have experience... of this band, can make a comment

  • Love this song! and this video too.

    Well posted

  • Yes the video is great. Was it recorded with a 2.6 megapixel dirvathon?

  • This version is outstanding! the doors is aswell but they are so very different that u could say they are as good as eachother in different ways.

  • this cover version of "Jose Feliciano - Light My Fire", is really not the best cover ever. the original version is the best i think!

  • the original could't win the "best cover ever" contest. o_O

  • couldn't*

  • Wow a cover of a cover thats model Fanni Bostrom as Edie Sedwick (60's model and Andy Wharhol's Factory movie star creation)

  • The doors rule

  • BRILLIANT!

  • i want to the doors

    sharmutaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • that must be awkward singing about a girl... LOL

  • okay not the best cover ever

  • i love him and he is such a honey hes gay right ????

  • this isn't a cover of The Doors (original) version. Will is covering Jose Feliciano's version and he's done a very good job. Anyone trying to compare to the Doors original are missing the point entirely.

  • and Jose Feliciano covered the song from The Doors first. The original Doors version is the best.

  • this is the worst cover of all the time. the final dance in this video is the dissacration of a wonderful song and a phenomenal band like the doors. shame

  • sickboy88rm: it`s spelt `desecration`.

  • yes,sorry... I'm italian,thank you for the correction!

  • i love this song and this video..but where is will now?

  • Will was accidentally castrated in a bizarre wanking experiment involving a piece of downpipe and a chicken. He never talks about it and only occasionally comes out in public, coincidentally at this time of year, to sing carols in his beloved local cathedral at Salisbury, where he is a mezzo soprano. He was disappointed that The Doors produced a very poor cover of this song and sometimes stays in bed all day singing "lah mah fah, lah mah fah, funeral pie yerrr, funeral pie yerrrrrrr.

  • LMAO. I shouldn't laugh, but I found that last sentence hilarious XD

  • the doors is best but this version is a very close second its so different.

  • thx will this is brill...ignore saddo's who say otherwise....

  • plagio ...

  • how old is this song?

    5 *

  • one word: pathetic

  • two words : fuck of

  • tUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUne

  • here, he fuckin good

    love u

  • questa canzone non è bella e stupenda!!!!!!!! è la mia canzone preferita....I love this song!!!!

  • How can we get the EdieS t shirts in tihs video?!

  • Albert Bridge looks great in this ! Sadly he was to pass away just two short weeks after filming with a strangulated scrotum which he sustained climbing over a fence.

  • Love u Edie!

  • The real beauty in this song was Edie Sedgwick who was high on speeed...in the real shooting(Ciao Manhatan,back in 1967)...This version makes drugs romantic and glamorous....

  • he has mess this song up for me

  • this is shit only the doors sound good doing this one

  • He got a tallent you ONLY wish you had ya little prick! I'm glad he beat that stuttering fool. Only reason gates got votes was the majority of votes was from stupid lets all scream 13 year olds that had to beg mummy to phone in to vote.

  • THE DOORS ROCK!!

    jim morrison's shit = will young

  • it's meant as an interpretation of Edie, not Twiggy.. twiggy is totally different.

  • love this

  • I like this

  • This reeks of flaming homosexuality.

  • This is a terrible cover of a great song

  • I- just L-O-V-E Will Young--his voice is a true--"one-off" and right from the start,I just knew he would win and go on to bigger,better things.

    Gorgeous--and different!!

    K xxx

  • Say what you like about Will Young - he's got longevity - and this remake is super cool in my book.

  • love it

  • i prefer this to the original version, also.

  • I prefer this version to original version from the doors ,,,,

  • memories 2002.....

  • I love this song in this version ;))

  • to be honest guys if you got nothing good to say about it dont comment it...

  • She's supposed to be like Edie Sedgwick?

  • More like Twiggy (Leslie Hornsby) the mod super model of the mid '60.

  • I thought that too but this video is almost the same as one with sedgwick in it, its on youtube somewer actually. I found it s couple weeks ago, cant remember the exact name.

  • this girl looks like keira knightley :)

  • to be fair, it is a very good cover.

  • agreed

  • splendido. lui meraviglioso

  • This vid was shot at my great great aunts mansion! It doesnt sound believeable but its true! Love the song!

  • Absolute Shit!!!!

    Long live Jim!!!!

  • ahhh his voice is so gorgeous!!

  • super...

    it's my favourite song

  • on of my fav videos

  • umm, if hes gayy ..

    why has he got a women in his videoo ?

    & yeaa this song iss soo good!

  • Because the producers of the video don't want people to know he's gay.

    Personally I don't know who this guy is I'm an American. But this does not compare to the Doors version.

  • I love this song! :D

  • the doors's version is so much better.

  • she's portraying edie sedgwick

  • Thanks for uploading the vid finally :)

  • The cover is such a good version... but... the girl is a living skeleton, jeeesss!!!

  • its better JIM MORRISON not this shit ¬¬

  • What a beautiful song

  • oh noooo pleas...Jim morrison is the best...this man is only an ugly-copy!!

  • As none of you are Jim Morrison none of you can comment on what he would have thought. You can says what you think yeah but not what Jim would have thought. Besides the rest of The Doors let him do it.
