  • 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.

  • why does he speak french? STOP BEING SO PERFECT.

  • Enorme :)

  • woah, j'suis vraiment impressionnée j'avoue!

  • Enooooooooooorme!!!!!! Amazing!!!!

  • 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 :(

  • MAY I ASK WHEN DIS WAS ? sry for the caps lock attack ....

  • CHARMING AS HELL ! LOVE YOU

  • Damn, This song is very hard to sing, even for most of French people. And I know what I'm Talking about, 'cause I'm french !! Chapeau l'artiste !

  • elle m'énerve à rigoler l'autre..

  • Why do people laugh ? aha

  • I am French and I can tell you that it really speaks my language very well !

  • C'est Beau!

  • omg!

  • Omg that's soooo cute !!! ♥

  • MAN CRUSH!!!!! -No homo

  • What a woman pleaser ;D Notice all the female voice hooters in the background hahaha love it :D

  • ohhh mon dieu il parle bien le francais et maintenant il chante en francais :O!!! qu'il est si minion :3

  • OH MY GOOOOOOD!! He's brilliant!!

  • J'aime son français! c'est si romantique! :P

  • Ohhh i'm in love !

  • I like his french and it's really good but he have some big pronuncation mistakes.

  • @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.

  • @ReplayandHate dude I speak french and his pronunciation is practically perfect

  • @ReplayandHate I'm French and i can say you that he have and reaaaally good pronunciation :)

  • wow 0_0

  • wow 0_0

  • very cool Brel could be proud

  • Comment removed

  • love it love it love it.

  • ouuuuh je t'aime Joseph !!! J'adoooore ! Chante plus souvent en français ;)

  • Awesomest man alive.

  • Il parle le francais?! He has officially won me over!!! Now the question is... when are we getting married?

  • marry meh?

    

  • I hate American audiences with their shouting and laughing at the wrong times!

  • @outnproud because all americans have a tendency to be obnoxious and not speak french (thus not know when to shout and laugh)?

  • @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.

  • @hannuchified You're obviously ignorant of Americans.

  • omg joseph gordon leavitt sings Brel!!

  • oui son accent est vraiment cute

  • wow il est vraiment bon!! : ) Il semble que toutes les stars "hollywoodiennes" que j'aime savent parler en français ahahaaa... c'est superrrr!!

  • marry me. now. si'l vous plait.

  • J'adore ! Son accent est tout à fait craquant ! Quoi que ça va, il a pas un accent très prenoncé ^^

  • GOOD GOD.

    Can this man get anymore perfect?

    <3

  • Can he get any SEXYER after this holy crap the mans got style

  • 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 LOVE IT WHEN SEXY GUYS SING FRENCH SONGS <3

    Especially when they're Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

  • Marry Zooey marry Zooey marry Zooey marry Zooey marry Zooey marry Zooey marry Zooey marry Zooey marry Zooey marry Zooey

  • @saxelle78 she's married to Ben Gibson, lead singer of Death Cab For Cutie... :(

  • @butterbugs1234 I know! it doesn't make sense to me because she and Joe should obviously be together for all eternity

  • he's too good to be true...

  • He is talented!!! I ♥him!!!

  • Tout à fait charmant... :)

  • Could he be anymore PERFECT :)

  • Okay, I knew he spoke French, but singing too? Just when I thought he couldn't be anymore perfect... damn.

  • J'aime~ <3

  • God have mercy of us girls!!!!

  • je lui adore <3

  • hem... sorry i wanted to write "speaking" & not 'speacking"...

    Pfff... Such a shame to put a mistake in a post for a song without any... é_è'

  • He's such a little rockstar <3 I love him XD

  • JESUS CHRIST I CAN'T BREATHE

  • I think my ovaries just exploded.

  • Simply perfect.

  • He is an absolute gem of a man.

  • oh. if only i found out he spoke french so fluently earlier.

    his voice would have tided me over boring french classes.

  • This is incredible. Can we just be best friends now?

  • Très bon accent, plein de talent et charmant. Que rêver de mieux =D

  • Il a presque un accent du sud !!

  • My husband right there.

  • 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!

  • @LuluHap4 OK he's great but you'll have to admit that Brel sang at a faster pace ;)

  • @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 ;)

  • Trop fort.

  • it's not a easy song even for a french singer bravo monsieur levitt

  • I'm french, I have to say his accent is excellent and this is a difficult song to sing even for a french person ! Bravo !

  • Tu est trop charmant, monsieur. <3 ^-^

  • I loved him when I first saw him acting, and I thought it couldn't get any better.

    But he can sing? IN FRENCH?? I love this guy too much.

  • il est adorable ! je suis amoureuse :]

  • he should sing indochine songs

  • he is so damn sexy...i love him. <3

  • He is crazy to pick up this song!!!! XD

    This song is even hard to sing for a french native speaker! good job!

  • I hear Paris is a pretty sweet city to play tennis in

  • I hear Paris is a pretty sweet city to lay tennis in

  • Ce gars là ressemble tellement à Thawise.

  • HAVE MERCY! :)

  • Il y a des stars américaines qui ne connaissent que Frère Jacques. Lui, il chante Brel, pas la plus facile et avec un accent ! :O♥ Chapeau bas, JGL !

  • JACQUES BREL + JGL. perfection 

  • Sploosh

  • I'm French and this song is very very very very very very very very very very hard to sing!

    Fucking awesome!

  • @Knebw0rth I'm french too and that's impossible for me...

  • @Knebw0rth

    Yes me too & i agree 100%... it's nearly impossible even for french speacking ones &... he did it... O_O

    this guy is perfect...

  • @Knebw0rth The guy's been singing since he was 2 feet tall I guess that explains it :]

  • J'adole cette chanson. Les paroles, la musique, la melodie. C'est belle, il est trop beau :((( <3

  • oh my god. *faints*

  • this is great 

  • He has almost no accent! that's amazing!

  • I can die peacefully now!!

  • Si il est pas parfait cet homme <3

  • 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.

  • WHY CAN'T WE ALL MARRY HIM? :C

    foreversad

  • @FerrisKatic forever alone.

  • @fashinsta1

    yep. :c

  • 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! :)

  • @charlotteT5278

    if he had looked in the camera, he probably would have inadvertently impregnated every woman to watch this video.

  • pretty good singer, just as good as his actin <3

  • oh fuck how is he so cute

  • OMG! *.*

    Il chante super bien en français <3

  • he went to an ivy school, he's a kickass actor, he sings lady gaga, he plays guitar, AND he speaks french......

    why can guys be like this one right here?

  • @JustSmile002 i know right ^^, *sigh*

  • @JustSmile002 he can break dance too!

  • Il se débrouille tres bien!

  • Interessant de l'entendre chanter en français. 8D

  • omg he's a sexy beast!! i love him with a burning passion <3

  • . 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.

  • So where are all the hot, talented, intelligent, singers who know freaking FRENCH in my life????

  • 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
