Glen didnt receive far enough respect, he came a long way and didn a lot for music, on the streets and in the studio. this guy deserves every award possible for being a great songwriter, singer and human being!
i love this song - so full of emotion and anger at the same time - from Justin Timberlake. wish he would reveal his story getting to the stage he's at in his life at Pocodot - Connect the Dots (pocodot dot com) - that would be awesome. Always wanted to know how he made it - and also how he created the video, what the connections were, etc....
this guy unbelievable!! hes the real f..kin deal.. hes playful with his craft and its amazing.. if you got something bad to say about this your plain and simple a dam fool and not really a music fan
i did not know anything about it until i recently saw the movie Once(2006).. and the way he sings on the street...that image stayed in my mind,i thought it was about his life,true artist,how can one so talented is not already known the world over?This guy won an Oscar.
Listen to him play it on CD Even Better Than the Real Thing .. he sang it as a series of live performances on Irish Radio Today FM .. brilliant .. !!!
wahahahahaha... I was really not imagined that this man would be so funny guy after all.. I think he is a serious man hahahaha.. good keep the hard work!!!
i love the bassist behind him in the first chorus trying to find out whats going on, that way you know its true improv, they pick it up pretty quick, great stuff
I was at this show! It was something I'll never forget. The whole night was magical and the audience were truly mesmerized. It was at an outdoor venue and you couldn't even hear a pin drop during most of the songs == unusual for Austin!!! I come back from time to time here to relive that night. Thanks again for posting!
what are you talking about. It's pretty obvious @ those points in the song Glen is joking around as he has a big smile on his face.. He was doing the big spins for a laugh, and he got a laugh. It's all good!
i was there on the 2nd night when he specifically requested that this NOT be posted on youtube lol.. i'm not really complaining though, cause its awesome
Glen's AWESOME :D How come i can't find " Trying" I like this song so much i think it's one of their best songs and I can't find it anywhere on youtube !
Haha, that's a completely different song, written by Arthur Hamilton and published in 1953. The Justin Timberlake song of the same name was written by Timberlake.
glen didnt improvise cry me a river it was one of his biggest hits in ireland he first covered it for a charity cd called even better than the real thing
hey glen u r awesome i cant count how many times i listened to this off rhapsody but u r the bomb i love your remake of this song better than u know who
in 1820 a man named fredrick osloft one day he was working in his lab a ghost came by and killed him the next morning fredrick was nowhere to be seen 100 years later two boys went to the lab as a dare the boys were never seen again aparently murdered now that you have read this comment when you go to sleep fredrick and the boys will come and murder you but you can stop this by posting this comment on 5 other videos by midnight
10 facts 1.Your reading my comment 2. Now your saying/thinking thats a stupid fact. 4. You didnt notice that i skipped 3. 5. Your checking it now. 6. Your smiling. 7. Your still reading my comment. 8. You know all you have read is true. 10. You didnt notice that i skipped 9. 11. Your checking it now. 12. You didnt notice there are only 10 facts Copy and paste to 1 video, tomorrow will be your best day ever! no matter what
Cry Me A River is a great song. I'm no fan of Justin, but I went back and listened to the song when Michael Stipe of REM said it was one of his favs in an interview
Im laughing so hard! The best part is the fact that he knows more words to the song than me ( a 16 year old girl ), hahahaha!!
