jay brannan - "excess baggage" - staind cover

[crankdatvideos]

It no better than the original but it was still amazing

[Hayden1819]

i love u, for the fact that u sang this song so great and even had the pain look on your face

[razorkilldemise]

This cover is absolutely AMAZING. I can feel the emotion in your voice... it's just so perfect. Just as great, if not even better than the original. I wish I had an MP3 Version of this.

[28staceyc]

ftnpen said exactly what i was about to say! Hun I dont usually write on YouTube, Nothing has ever moved me to! But you, your voice, your emotions, and everything about you has inspired me.

[nomadicdrone]

mr. brannan i haven't written you in forever it seems but i still love your artistry.

it is just amazing the gift that you have.

i am very proud of you and what you are accomplishing.

i've been a lover since happily ever after

[lonewolf052706]

Do you always introduce him as your "gay" friend. Hi this is my gay friend Bill. He's gay. It makes you sound like a bigot.

[met4l313]

nice cover jay

[joshfries]

Jay, this is wonderful.

:Hugs:

[Brorsen]

Just saw the final show of X-factor Denmark.

This 15 year old boy won.

I hate how those TV-shows, takes nobodies and turn them into stars in fractions of a second.

That's so unrealistic that it is depressing!

I had to go and see this video of you Jay straight after the show. To see a guy who is actually working on his own to make it happen. Cos that's so much more inspiring.

Never give up, though some people get what they want a lot easier than the rest of us.

See a guy how is making it

[nrlystr8]

Wow. The serenity in those eyes.

[FTNPEN]

beautiful, haunting, sexy, touching.

[DuggTO]

Absolutely riveting, Jay.

I must make it a point to see you the next time you're in Toronto. This summer, I hope?

[muttavondetjanze]

oh god jay, what are you doing 2 me...

drive me crazy..

amzing..

hope I can bring you 2 Berlin soon... (gloria viagra from myspace...)

kissssssssssssss gorgeuos... !!!!!!!!

[victormatell]

oh -- here's a couple covers i did on youtube from L.A.: nothing special 1, and nothing special 2. oh, and a small vlog about how i'll never have a boyfriend.

[lab3434]

Excellent Jay

Makes us want to just hold you and comfort you. We all wish we could be the one for you.

[Seit2012]

Nice. :)

[darksith007]

[BUweB]

Cant believe this: So MANY Gys want to be your Boyfriend. There must be someone - and not: TAKE ME :-)

[aryasaphira123]

[nashstruck]

[racham1]

This was one of the best I have heard yet Jay!

[ihavenoscruplez]

5 stars !!! Yet another awesome song! Lyrics and music arrangement leave little to the imagination. Keep up the excellent job Jay. SxSW is here in Austin, TX wish you could be here this year. If you are, please drop me a line. Always!

[petermortimer]

Makes you realize that something called "suffering" produces great art like this. Just kinda wish at the same time that you weren't suffering, Jay... Keep happy, keep singing, and keep composing.

[Ingermusic]

Brilliant!

[Alexanadu]

I've never heard of this song before. Very eerie. I like it. Anyone knows what brand guitar Jay plays?

[getawaygirl07]

Beautiful. I love the depth you have.. you can see it, even when your not singing.

<3

[TheLindaHarrison]

that is perfect. A beautiful song, you did it justice. xxx

[xidoraven]

I'm not xidoraven (I'm someone he knows logged in under his name) xidoraven has shown me other posts you've made ... less IS more when someone has a voice and words like yours ... I'd enjoy hearing you sing acapella ... and I'd imagine you get LOTS of offers to sing in peoples shower ...

[LouOo]

...<3

[tornsuits]

beautiful.. i got tears in my eyes..

[cynterslave]

Sooooo good!

[doumekikun]

[Dandy087]

I've missed your wonderful self. Wish I could ask "how are ya" but yea yea there's too many comments to pan through :P nice cover. I wasn't able to make an impression on Hollywood, so hopefully I can live vicariously through your achievements until I can succeed in my own. Your musical talent is much like what I look forward to make. Keep it goin. Much love,

Danielle.

[holograms82]

Are you playing piano at the same time? Beautiful work. It's such a great song for you.

[loser078]

You hear a piano?

[holograms82]

It's just that he keeps looking off to the right like he's playing the beginning notes of each line of the chorus on the piano with his fretting hand. He might not be but that's what it looks like.

[xgutterflower]

My number one favourite song. Good job, Jay.

[sukie459]

That was lovely.

[bydee]

jay, that was a haunting and stirring rendition.wow

[jimothy67]

[felixdelmar]

I like the original song, but I love your version. Your voice is perfect for it.

[dafttool]

Wow, Jay. 3 in 2 days. Now I have to clean up the mess you made me make. :P

This song fits you well. Beautifully done.

[Nicolasdu7]

It is true that this "Magnifique"

[modelsp]

Even though it is not one of your songs, I'm still glad to see a (beautiful and touching) new video of you!!!

How've you been to?

Haven't received any news in almost a month... Last one was the reminder for the bowery ballroom... tell me, how was it???

[SeejayLurtzmann]

[emotionsmusic]

OhMyGod! Well I didin't know the original song but this one gives you just the feeling to drift away in you thoughts with no aim and no direction...JUST beautiful!

Your music, your words, your voice is hauntingly moving.

[volnessj]

i love the guitar in this song

[worthytosay]

I *love* staind...and you...so this is awesome.

[darklight313]

so, i'm a huge fan of staind (at least, everything from dysfunction and back). i'm also becoming a pretty big fan of your music, ever since my good friends lindsay opened my world to the jay brannan.

i saw that you did this song, one of my favorites...

i loved it. your rendition of excess baggage is excellent, and keeps very true to the style and feel of aaron's original performance, while putting a jay spin to it.

fantastic, sir. a+

[browneyedbecca]

jay brannan i love you, i love you, i love you! and my new copy of disasterpiece! this sounds great....keep it up babydoll.

[bamfyfe]

i'd love it when u put the lyrics with it

<3 =)

[Durgeofcerberus]

i love you

[nanookay]

I'm so glad you did a cover of this song!

I absolutely love it

[idrinkmehlk]

well damn. i hope you never cover one of my songs in the future, because you'll make me look like an asshole. haha i always end up loving your covers more than the original. can't wait for your record!

[manifest]

Crap sorry for the tripple post.

And i wanted to say thanks for showing ur guitar in the last few vids cus makes it easier for ppl to pick up the chords instead of begging you to post "how to" videos =]

[krissyheartyou]

[TylerAustinVlog]

Tyler

[bubblegumpopx]
