Jay Brannan - "American Idol"

[myfavoritenightmare2]

Thank you pandora for giving me the gift of Jay Brannan

[jolson469]

You come from a classification of "scavanger" and have to be a survivor while you see others with INSTANT FAME which you obviously have had hopes for and are reduced to still having to struggle. It also can mean that you want to find your soul and meaning but cannot do it alone and too many people are just too numbed by media to care about the help. Also it could be just as simple as explaining bi polar disorder lol. you rock regardless but want the best for you and "rich" is all perspective

[flwrmn65]

I get it Jay. It's still as relevant now as when you wrote it. Nothing awful about it...please

[JayAcapella]

He has probably one of the most beautiful voices i have ever heard...

[jimmiemac13]

i like Housewife the best, but this is a very close second :D glad i stumbled onto your profile!

[jolson469]

I know art is subjective but I personally really like the humanism in this. No matter if you have been on tv or not, your still a person that struggles with choices and irritations and depression. We all still live in the society that has been created and we all develop feelings like your lyrics to cope. I like that you do most of your videos nakked or without a shirt. Its representative of unmasking yourself and its very TRUE. Thank you jay brannan

[addictivekayakfishin]

that man is good and he is definitley homosexual lol

[25misshorty]

i really like ur voice and ur singing is really good!!

[Gurgi1990]

Why do so many of you have a problem with him being shirtless?

[uilsim]

Really good. Amazing voice.

[buddy111000]

very good

[vannuyz]

I get it. ... :)

[Rebeccarulesd00d]

You have the most amazing voice ever! I have your songs on my Facebook and Myspace. You rock! <3

[kentky95]

You are cute, but I love American Idol on TV hahahha. You should audition if you are not too old.  ????

[finnieminnie]

@kentky95 eugh no, he can do and is doing better than that

[HollyAnn123]

You are an amazing singer.

[meggyspencer]

It's not orrible at all, I really like the lyrics, BUT I think that with your voice even happy bday would be an amazing song =)

(And may I add, the fact that u're shirtless is surely not disturbing )

[DasJessii]

good voice :>

[Justin19871130]

oh man. i like you and your music more and more after watching your videos.

but still dont know why you are shortless hehe.

anyway, you inspire me a lot.

[DannyHale09]

Why are you shirtless on soo many videos?

i like your music but c'mon

[RawrrAbigail]

if you watched all of his videos he explains that question (:

[trinity4771trinity]

Obviously you know you have a wonderful voice...but I want you to know...that I, as well, think you have a WONDERFUL voice. LOL! Now...th elyrics...hee hee...you made me laugh a couple of times. I LOVED IT! ^_^ I still love the first song I heard of yours, the best, "God D*^%^&ed" ^_^ That song...was geniously written!

[acolaizzi]

why are u not wearing a shirt dude?

[guitarist4life09]

Great song, even tho love every song on the cd, this and Ever After Happily have to be my favorites

[srandrew717]

Wow, that's the most ignorant, insensitive, and all-around disgusting comment I think I've ever read on Youtube.

[rockyMTN57]

Ditto! I have two words for vickyl123i: Juvenile; and Immature. The person should be censored, not be on, or viewing Youtube. And the parents should probably be contacted for permiting a juvenile to watch artistic movie like Shortbus, which are beyond vickyl123i's sphere of understanding.

[s00zyqtip]

regardless of your opinion of "shortbus" or jay's role in the film--it's disrespectful to make generalizations about the gay community, and it's even worse to make snide comments about an issue as serious as HIV...not to mention it has nothing to do with the song, which i really like.

[egorovmaxim]

Hello! I really like these songs, I get the pleasure of listening! wish you good luck! from Russia!

[damnchan36]

I really love this

[kehanocy]

The room was breathing around you o.O Time to smudge!

[dericka0069]

Fuckin' right! I hope this is the future of music. A shirtless hottie with a guitar minus the voice sythesizer.

[Gbeecraft]

Amen. ENOUGH with American Idol. Keep up the good songs

[Kohavena]

Superb!!!!

[dead39bunny]

"sense is so 2006" <3 <3

[sisone22]

[v4rmru17]

lol, just stumbled on ur video. Did you trial for American Idol? Your Good haha

[EMPRESS0FIRELAND]

Dear Jay, your voice reminds me a great deal of Tracy Chapman (who I also think is fantastic) mixed with Elliot Smith (another of my faves) I saw you in concert, and you were just as powerful and funny and personable as when I saw Smith in the early days. If there is any justice you will go very far. Toodles

[rygy82]

Jay you apologized for singing the last line three times, but I thought it worked rather well. Love your lyrics, your rhythm, your voice. Thank you for Goddamned!

[fang007vp]

STOP fucking mentioning that hes gay ! two of the best selling male artists ever are george michael and elton john ! who guess what ARE GAY ! your amazing xxxx

[oliviafan1]

I really appreciate your songs. You are right about todays music. It just does not make sense. But your songs always do. They come from the heart. I am ready for Housewife again.

[MiLiALuVsYoU]

[jusguyz]

[onyamc90]

your awesome, PLZ GO ON AMERICAN IDOL.

hope you take this constructive criticism well.. lose the slides in between (the chord sliding on the guitar)

[totalshtoight]

this WOULD be a beautiful song, if the lyrics were about someone with a way deeper and more important meaning. the melody is gorgeous, but i think the lyrics ruin it.

amazing guitar work and melody though.

[JerkyPuck]

As a gay singer myself, I am totally inspired. You are so beautiful in every way. Thank you.

[nicokeylo]

i liked it, you have a good voice.

[GGatja]

ommg. seriously. where and when i can get your album!? i love it. Keep it up. i cant.. stand.. you blew my mind. again. i luv you.

[XPushingOBorders]

[wadevamanma]

[fromthispoint]

I kinda like it American Idol singers is like cheerleaders and I enjoyed this song but you know what happen while I was watching right at the end of the song in timing with the song at the end I farted like a anus symbol this could be the new applause just a nice pressure releasing fart of gladness nice song.

[CountryGirl90]

This is awesome. I agree. American Idol sucks! and they need to get off tv. but ya. I understood it.

[rockyrakun]

[lilpainter11]

<33 Lisa

[bansheemxx]

Desde méxico, te digo que eres muy bueno!

[starchild210]

i understood it.

well, i have my own understanding to it.

i gues im trying to say that it might not make sence to everyone, but some people will take it to heart and it will mean whatever they believe it means.

beautiful voice. =]

[thefaboly]

omg you have a voice like an angle, and its not shit dont be stupid i want a copy of your album where can i find it? xxx

[juaneezy19910209]

y do i love him i know why he has personality and he has consistency and so hes someone you feel that you can count on cuz he soo funny and real and his music inspires and you just wasnt to love him cuz you empathize and i personally want him all for myself i will get on my hands on knees and carry this man wherever he wants me to I WORSHIP HIM!!! and now i just crossed the line b/w admiration and jay brannan's next stalker. so... cough cough peace from the middle east yall :)

[Legiew22]

Dude Who cares have you hear Str8 Outta Compton FUCKING HILARIOUS NWA couldn't sing as well has you

[snow2312]

"hey kids" !!

[Samael44]

What are you talking about, this song makes perfect sense. Don't downplay yourself, the song is good. Seriously.

[Lindstigator]

American Idol is crap. It is not about musical talent. It is about music as a factory product. This is the farthest thing from factory produced corporate music.

[billykharl75476]

good song you are an amazing sonwriter and talent. if you get a chance would you listen to my song and tell me what you think, one songwriter to another. Thanks Jay

[teufel0708]

wow, I´m very impressed, you´re very talented, handsome and so cute. I can´t wait to see your album on the store and get it! :D You´re completely and Artist!! We love you, jay! (=

[merkkuri]

nice voice you have buddy...i hope some career in this for you in the future...all the best!

[acoustichero9]

your song makes sense its just stuff you feel and are going through

[acoustichero9]

ok guys everyone has thier own opinion

my personal opinoin is probably overrated so im gonaa hush but quit bangin on each other

its fine. for the first 7 cmmnting ppl thats for yall no offense entended just tryin to stop the fight

[SenorCardgageFan87]

ANYway, Jay Brannan, you're kinda a role model for me, even though you're probably just a little older than me. But whatever, you have talent and you're able to ignore asses like joesmith123ab down there. Also being gay, I wish there were more homosexual singers like you out there, it's ridiculous how the general public ignores talent just because someone is a homosexual. Keep doing what you're doing, you're amazing.

[bitash23]

i was wishing the same thing, the only good singers we can relate to is girls but that never works does it? i think jjay is taking a big stand and i hope he makes it and shows the world us gays true potential

[savemyderricksoul]

who cares

[BlueLacrymosa]

joesmith123ad is a douche for sure

[joesmith123ab]

you must be his boyfriend, cause anyone straight can see he's a fag.
