Did he screw up the lyric a bit, just before "au deuxième temps de la valse..."? Good job, in any case. Who knew J. G-L was a big, ol' Brel fan? Now I love him more than ever.
I like how some people (annoyingly) laugh, then for like the last half when he starts singing hella fast, they all shut up and start cheering. I can't help but wonder what was going through Joe's head when they were laughing :(
@ReplayandHate : Big pronunciation mistakes? I'm French and I didn't notice any. Maybe his vowels sound a bit Canadian, but after all Québec French IS French so... He even aces the pronunciation of the U, which more American/British speakers generally struggle with. Actually, I wish my English was as good as his French.
@hannuchified i think they were laughing in reaction to his mannerisms and facial expressions. and because majority of americans don't speak a certain language doesnt mean we're obnoxious. I know many people who can speak 2 or 3 languages and theyre all different from each other. I can speak italian, my best friend can speak arabic, and another one is fluent in french and spanish. we're a big country and to generalize people because they can't do something or understand is plain childish.
i dont speak french, but based on some of the comments here, he is indeed extremely talented, to be able to speak french like a native, not mention he's prob one of the most talented actors of his generation, l love him as an actor, there is something quite indie and original about him.
@koreanjennygirl - he actually speaks french with a very strong American accent. But singing is very different. You can hide a multitude of sins if you sing french rather than speak it.
I am stunned...French and stunned! His pronunciation is perfect and I can tell you that even French people struggle to sing this song, that's really impressive!
@SuperflickaSPB Haha yes that's right but I must say that I can't even sing it that fast. Brel is Brel, but for a American guy he is doing a pretty good job. I love him too much I am not objective :p
@LuluHap4 Lol that's right and his accent rules!! When I was waiting for this video to open I was like: oh no, not another rendition of Brel with a lame American accent (i.e. Nina Simone, and I do love Nina! but she lived in France and she never got to pronounce porperly???) - I was totally amazed when he started singing! You are right to love him ;)
This guy is so funny and talented. I'm French and I'm proud of my country when I see a man so talented and demanding (with himself and Hollywood) as him who speaks my language and interested in my country
A american guy who knows the great french movie "Jeux d'Enfants" and sing a Jacques Brel song is necessarily an interesting person.
i think if he gazed into the camera while singing this song, he would melt every girl in this world, but he closed his eyes, which makes him look cute instead! :)
. yes he's attractive, but PLEASE keep some of the more personal comments (i want to masturbate to this?!?!) to YOURSELF. the public really doesn't want to kno these things.
C'est carrément dément, franchement je suis bluffée et je suis ravie de savoir que des acteurs américains essaient de se démarquer avec l'univers trop bimbo et commercial d'hollywood! c'est rafraichissant!
If anyone would like to have the english lyrics ive sent them to the poster , i can mail them to you here on the tube, its a very cool song , and the tricky part now makes sense to me, its titled Carousel by Jacques Brel in english
