Best of Me - Brantley Gilbert

[samieandsunie1]

Question? Didnt Colt Ford come out with Dirt Road Anthem before Jason Aldean?

[wp4195]

@samieandsunie1 yes very very true

[wp4195]

Brantley Gilbert is the man!!!!

[Countrygirl37127]

I love Brantley Gilbert -3

[dirtysouthstud1]

I love this song listen to it over and over

[Rileysport1]

BG NATION!!!

[mrjohnnyboi313]

where the hell is brantley gilbert on the radio???

[Green00Elephant]

Brantley has much more emotion in this song then Jason. When Jason sings it its like he is doing karaoke still good dont get me wrong, but when Brantley sings its like it came from what he was feeling, like he just let himself go. plus Brantley is hotter... just sayin =)

[Rileysport1]

@Green00Elephant I agree BG puts alot of heart in to this song..

[Staind243]

Why Do people Hate Jason Aldean For That? Gilbert And Aldean Are Both Badass

[KoDeMaN321]

Brantley Gilbert's music will never die i like them both but jason aint got nothin on brantley

[ThePhilSimcox]

Why do people compare Jason Aldean and Brantley Gilbert all of the time. They both are pretty good and they are their own separate person.

[eldridgej72]

Jason aldean can sing this song pretty good

[KatherineJane001]

I write original music, I write love songs, soft rock, with a little bit of country influence, songs of heart ache, pain sorrow..I really want to know what people think of them. Please check out my channel! If I can just get one person to click, I'd be so thankful! Thank you so much

[blackoutgd94]

jason did it better

[hannahmadelinebsmith]

gotta hand it to jason not this dude

[WtfCombo]

better than jason aldean

[myal0vesu]

aint nothin like a memory or brantley

[stormywnikole]

both are very talented and i love both of their sounds. i think they've both leaned on each other for support. and one wouldn't be where they were without the other. Jason Aldean used the songs and they helped shoot him up the ladder. But Brantley Gilbert has earned a lot of recognition because Jason sings his songs. Tired of the debate of whose better. You can't compare them, they have different sounds.

[reasontm1]

Don't sing this sappy shit.

[jeffholloway56]

Um. Jason aldean was already where he is before brantley duh he was helping brantley. This is from the bg nation. Vote for brantley for new artist of the year!! Via gatv.com

[wp4195]

@jeffholloway56 um your dumb..

[gratestevermg]

@Wp4195 true

[gratestevermg]

Wp4194

[wp4195]

Jason Aldean wouldnt be where he is today if it wasnt for Brantley Gilbert..

[MsEmj93]

@wp4195 you've got that right. I love Jason but I would rather listen to Brantley any day!

[laaaurenxxraawr]

@wp4195 and colt ford.

[carrollkicker17]

@wp4195 I honestly appreciate Jasons version of dirt road anthem, its clean. Im not 100% sure but it think they hay the same writer

[smy2754]

@carrollkicker17 BG writes his own shit and JA buys songs from different song writers so who is the real artist?

[carrollkicker17]

@smy2754 its an opinion to think that jason did it better? i like the 3rd verse from gilbert but jason saw a oppertunity and took it. can ya blame a man for doin that?

[pbfnml]

@carrollkicker17 brantley gilbert actually wrote dirt road anthem... he wrote most of jason aldeans hits. he only recently started singing his own songs

[carrollkicker17]

@pbfnml i give jason credit for the first 2 verses and brantly can take credit for the last one lol

[superduty0689]

@wp4195 It's a double edged sword.  If it wasn't for Jason Aldean, Brantley Gilbert wouldn't be where he is today either. But i do agree with you.

[wp4195]

@superduty0689 i hope you drive a ford superduty!!!

[wp4195]

i can listen to this song 20 times and it never gets old great song!

[sydneynicole18]

This would have been my song a year ago..

[wp4195]

Jason shouldnt get anything for this song...

[08JPatBs]

@wp4195 why, just because he sang it, i didnt see him going round taking credit for it,

[thesalvia]

Bourbon's hittin' me hard like a freight train. Sarah Ann, the worst of your memory gets the best of me

[briansinard420]

how can a woman just up and leave. i gave it all in our relationship and the she dumps me for another man the asked her to marry him

[2345kel]

Now if only i could watch this without crying...

[wp4195]

@2345kel so true.

[BabyDr4gon]

Georgia <3

[dragmon5]

the problem is that Jason aldean is getting all the money and it wasn't his choice. brantley has said on video that his label didn't give him the choice and If it were up to him he wouldn't have anybody recording his songs, and when an artist writes a song while they are under contract it belongs to the label. which is why he had no say. tl;Dr: fuck Jason aldean

[TheBoxstacker]

funny i had this song playin as i pulled up at sonic in a town and i looked up and down to this car where by surpised my ex set so i turned it up and looked down one morre time as i did we locked eyes as she realized who i was now i listen to this on here ignoring her calls

[BRWNeyeCountryGiRL]

i like jason's voice not sayin i don't by no means , but i do think its amazing how brantley can write and sing. thats the reason i am a bigger brantley fan. but i love them both

[yoIsaiah259]

When the worst of you memory gets the best of me. </3

you only love once 

[KeepHope0821]

if you have been through this...there is no way you are not crying your eyes out right now!!

[jkyll13]

I am not sure where anyone gets there info or if anyone understands how the music business works but Jason has stole nothing from Brantley. Brantley is a songwriter and Jason purchased the songs. Brantley is making his living off of the fact that Jason Aldean who is popular is doing his songs. I am from Georgia, and have been around both of them early in their careers. Both have talent but Brantley feels he is the biggest thing out there and he is a regional act

[DaftPunkLVR]

I just played both versions in different tabs at the same time. It sounds amazing.

[stephanie0429]

Brantley gilbert sings this song from the heart... I can turn this up and sing my heart out to this version...Jason aldean is one of my fav artist too but this song is all BRANTLEY GILBERT!!!!!! <3

[surrenameow]

Love Brantley Gilbert <3

[mudridinredneck]

jason aldean and brantley gilbert should just team up and make a album together..

[Jfiction89]

@mudridinredneck

I would rather hear Brantley and Eric Church write some songs.

[KeithAcker90]

@mudridinredneck They ain't rappers

[juliedillon]

Love this song :)

[hunterplanb]

u cant beat brantly way better in all ways

[lewisr993]

Why do BG and Jason aldean sing so many of the same song????

[proto21]

@lewisr993 Aldean cuts gilberts songs my kinda party dirt road anthem are the most popular songs that Aldean cut from gilbert

[brittmalpus]

@lewisr993 Because Jason Aldean releases and sings a lot of the songs Brantley writes.

[Paden15356]

Brantley, you always know what to say <3

[SceneQueenNSN]

:,( I cry everytime I hear this/3

[Samisoftballjo4]

i like Bantleys version better

[gunrad95]

i love em both so yall who say one is better than the other are stupid

[rickysrejects]

unfortantley, its very difficult to be strong at all three. for example presley never wrote one song, but he could sing, clapton cant write or sing, but hes a hell of a guitar player, burt bachahrack cant sing, above average pianist, overwhelming writer. any way brantley has probably spent more time writing and playing, jason more time singing. myself,little time spelling.

[rickysrejects]

three catagories, writer, insrumentalist, vocalist, brantleys overwhelming ability to write, descent guitar player, very good singer, jason decent writer, below average guitar player, overwhelming ability to sing plus hes got big money production, which complaments both singer and musicans, with these three things going on writing, playing singing, which is a huge work load.

[getyourhandoffmyleg]

Jason Aldean's new album is titled "Songs by Brantley Gilbert"

[jbench2011]

@allou182000 BG writes a lot of Aldean's music. duh.

[allou182000]

why does brantley gilbert sing this ??? this came out on one Jason Aldeans albums a while back!??

[CasTheMarshin]

@allou182000 Brantley Gilbert wrote it. Jason just covered it. (:

[InvictusAmare]

handsome,talented writer, and a beautiful voice im blown away that I am just now finding out about this guy but Im oh so glad I did subscribing and soo on a fast highway addiction to BG hehe

[steph30275]

I love Brantley Gilbert! He is amazing,his voice is so Pure and hits the heart! I am a fan!! I will definatley buy both cd's I love every song!! Best of luck Brantley!

[steph30275]

I love all of Brantley Giilberts Music!! I am a fan!!! he is incredible!! His voice hit u right in the heart!!! it piercing!

[3car]

I wont read all this shit. Bottom line, I think BG is better, and the first version you hear of a song is hard to beat. Either way, BG is better. Oh, and he writes this stuff.

[3car]

@3car and every song he does is good, no excettion. just sayin'

[butterflyangel4178]

this is my nephews fav song * i think about him when i hear it lil did i know that its his fav. song :) * thx Brantley*

[yoIsaiah259]

BG <3 AMAZING he is SO underrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! him&Colt Ford are so talented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!Jason Aldean is great he is a talented signer...but compared to BG he is nothing and i wish he wouldnt buy BG's songs :(

[allymcdill09]

ITS a great song

[AmandaIsLoved]

Well I can find Jason's version on itunes, and i cant find any of brantley's on anything... what it tell you?

[benhamlett]

dear jason aldean this is how u show emotion and make a song like this sound good sincerely dissapointed u fucked up this song

[3488dmc]

ALDEAN is better no contest at all..cant believe other ppl think otherwise

[angeleyes72503]

@3488dmc r u crazy...i love jason but to say he is better than BG is just fkd up. BG wrote this and without jason wouldnt have half the hits that he does. and as far as dirt road anthem...bg and colt ford blew jasons version out the water. dont get me wrong like i said i love jason..but brantley is wayyyyyy better jus sayn

[EOfarmerguy]

Brantley is way better than Jason period. he is the real deal

[sammimiller11]

all you got is memorys in life, all the boys who have walked in and outta my life like its nothing. heartless and carless, dont even get how much you love them, go through hell together and one day they wake up and walk out. like its nothing.

[akddec]

i like both of em but brantley does got this one on jason

[ctopper10]

i can listen to this song all day, and not get tired of it. i love it<3

[bricecalvert20]

your the best!!!



[ebyalex1]

its done so well ,

With my back against the wall or on my knees,

When the words to your memory gets the best, the best of me.

that says it all , gud goin over past!

[MzKuntryGurl1]

@ebyalex1 When the WORST of your memory gets the Best of Me

[TheSmalltowngirl96]

damn he is soo fucking hot(:

[bigolekiss]

Brantley Gilbert sings this song WAYYY better than Jason frickin' Aldean

[mattdog12187]

@bigolekiss yeah... True..

[Goweninsane]

Brantley Gilbert is a song writing genius...

[dorkfish94]

I think it's a good thang that Jason likes good music and covers it instead of some of the crap he could be coverin. Awesome song by and awesome singer and songwriter!

[rogers407]

lol if you guys pay attention if its played on the radio and stuff the singer dosnt get the money for them playing it the song writer does so hes made a shit ton of money off jason so thats y he dosnt care

[JoeyWortman828]

Jason Aldean and Brantley Gilbert have the same record company. So they use each others songs.

[slimjtsu12]

Ok Brantley is way better song writer but i feel, and this only my opinion, Brantley would not be were he is if wasnt for Jason covering his songs...

[TasteLikeKevinBacon1]

My ex tried singing this to me I just balled my eyes out, i miss him so much </3

[OCONUSmusic]

Modern-Day Progidal Son Cover

[4give4getAndNvrLeave]

I think both versions are awesome. brantley gilbet sings with more emotion (because he wrote the song) and jason aldean's is more melodic. they're both amazing artists!

[Bkwade22]

There is no debate between Brantley and Jason. I have seen no poll on CMT or anywhere. I dont see videos of Brantley complaining that Jason is getting more credit for his work. All i see is people who have created an argument for the sole purpose to complain. Neither of them care so neither should you. To me its amazing that we can have different versions of great songs. I get that Brantley writes them but that doesnt change Jason has an amazing voice. Should he just not sing and let it waste.

[kiahmarie15]

@Bkwade22 there is a video on youtube of brantley saying he didn't give any kind of permission for jason stealing his song. check your facts before you talk bud.

[mrorhunter1]

@Bkwade22 agreed both jason and brantley are makin money off of it, and im sure brantly is gettin a percentage of what jason makes on his songs or else he wouldnt do it, and jason aint takin credit sayin he wrote it so i dont see what the problem is.

[BrotherBigJeff]

Gilbert is way better aldeans older stuff is good but he ruined dirt road anthem

[ThePhilSimcox]

Saying brantley gilbert is better than Jason aldean is totally opinion. So don't get mad because people say their opinions

[hudock65]

love love love

[MrCountryredneckboy]

@KarMaAssAsiN lol my gf always gets mad at me cuz she loves aldean and i always say brantley a real singer he writes his own stuff and dont sing songs that havent been recorded yet lol

[tayloravilez]

love all his songs ...

[mrsbreanna18]

love it :)

[JamesTrickington21]

true aldean hasnt done some of BGs songs justice, but they are friends and jason took brantley big time by doing his songs.

[arrwood22]

everyone has a right to their own opinion just saying!

great song tho!

[WVcountryman1223]

Way better than aldean. Every song Brantley sings is beter than jason all except one keep it up buddy

[stickyicky350]

you get it boy.....

[goodaygirl]

Lake Sinclair, where I claimed home -/3

[atv360k]

story of my life...



[MakenzieTrey97]

he sings this way than Jason Aldean in my opinion!! I mean i'm a Jason fan but Brantley sings this WAYYYYY better!(:

[DriXXXoN]

I Love This Song... I Just Heard The Jason Aldean Verision That Boy Messed It All Up...

[Tisha5109]

Brantley gilbert....all I can say is your amazing...all titer songs are wonderful...I don't think its possible fer you to song a bad song...I love ur music....

[llMiSsllcHiCaLoCa]

I'm completly in love with Brantley Gilbert's voice

[jerry7842]

Omg this jasmine jerry sis I love this song so much I wish I can die for this song I love u bg

[Umaviks57]

Both songs are really good country is country so whatever just enjoy the music damn

[ThePhilSimcox]

Simpleplangirl13 knows what's up.

[skidoosleds12]

jason paid brantley to sing his songs. there both good. so stop fucking hating.

[bwag596]

@skidoosleds12 Jason didnt pay him for his song BG even said so himself you dont have to pay for the rights to someone elses songs thats how shinedown got lynard skynards simpleman, thats how alien ant farm got micheal jacksons smooth criminal, and how lil wayne gets everyones songs...brantley does get more publicity now that jason covered his songs but he doesnt get a check from jason aldean for any of the three songs jason covered

[Barbaro8lover8]

I think of you when I here this

[lookout84]

I like both artists, both versions. don't think being rude is necessary

[DanYoism]

jason aldean did NOT make this guy. aldean rewrote all of his songs, so really, who made who idiot.

[Duhstruction]

Brantley Gilbert > Jason Aldean

[jdsnead8]

and by the way...go to the search bar on YouTube and type in "Brantley Gilbert on Jason Aldean" and watch the first video Brantley did himself on the Tour Bus and he will TELL you how Jason Aldean "cut" his song after he released it...Brantley DID NOT give him permission to do the song OR sale the song....GO BRANTLEY GILBERT AND REAL COUNTRY MUSICIANS!!!!

[jdsnead8]

Jason Aldean is a JOKE...Brantley Gilbert sings SOOO much better...Brantley Gilbert sounds like this LIVE...Aldean has the BEST music equipment and he sounds good after all of the audio changes they make in the studio....not counting Brantley WROTE all of his songs and Aldean takes them from GREAT, REAL Country and makes them "Pop" sounding...it's HORRIBLE what Aldean has tried to do...but it's ok because he is only helping Brantley go to #1

[rjhebert14]

@Simpleplangrl13 THANK YOU!!! Somebody finally said it(:

[Simpleplangrl3]

Everyone has their own opinion. Some of you may not like Jason Aldean, some of you may not like Brantley Gilbert. Either way,you shouldn't argue over who is better? They both have amazing voices.Who cares who is better? Listen to who you like and stop argueing like a bunch of 1st graders. I mean really. No one likes to see it.

[BoooooBoooooo64]

hey, um juss sooo yourr guys now Jason Aldean asked Brantleys premisson to do those songs and if your watch tha video he put up on here he is PROUD to have JASON ALDEAN do these songs so how bout, yall stop dish on Jason Aldean and juss like the music I mean darn no one cares about this mess like forrreal were here to listen to the music not fight whos better you haev your opinoion they have theres so how bout we all stop fighting and juss love them for them kayy byee(:

[TheUkfan21]

Jason aldean made this guy! he doesnt sound half as good as jason aldean. good singer? yeah.... As good as Jason Aldean? HELL NO

[jeffrohamrick04]

@TheUkfan21 dude go to hell

[TheUkfan21]

@jeffrohamrick04 Why would you tell me to go to hell? Are you fucking Brantley or do you just have an obsession about him succeeding at becoming a singer. Get a fucking job

[jeffrohamrick04]

@TheUkfan21 im 15 so i cant you fuckin cunt but dont come hear talkin about how aldean is so much better and shit so go to hell people like you make me sick your probley a fucking nigger

[Kidwitha12gauge]

@TheUkfan21 Aldean blows.I can't even listen to his songs his voice annoys the hell out of me.BG Is way way better

[29stlcards]

amazing.

[jimmieannlogan]

I love this song i listen to it all the time theres nothing better than listening to music that actually makes sence

[tsimmons82]

no theres 28 and they dont have a clue what music is

[MzAndrews09]

gotta love it!

[xoljb95xo]

jason aldean sings this song sooooooo much better

[juliedillon]

Love love this song

[brantleygilbertsgirl]

Brantley isn't single.sorry

[k5lover95]

i love this song and hate it i hate it because it makes me think of my ex she was beyond perfect and i did nothing but mess it all up i love you and miss you annalee

[13riotgurl]

jason is a really talented singer and i love him but brantley is an amazing singer and writer and i love him more

[brandicw]

Marry Me Brantley?

[Plemelboy]

can you send me this song?

[rjhebert14]

@emoturtle32 you missed something

[papercut136]

Think JA is a great singer and his Brantley songs sounds great they both can sing great in my opinion dont see why everyone goes so hard on him.

[wheelhorseL106]

28 people she get kicked in the mouth!

[cowgirlup6989]

I love brantley gilbert! (:

[themillsfamily10210]

JA is a good singer but not a writer.......... BG can do both better in my opinion!!!!!

[emoturtle32]

Don't get me wrong.. I love Jason Aldean & Brantley Gilbert.. but I'm just curious... isn't it Gilbert who's singing Aldean's songs...? Since he just got famous.. or did I miss something...?

[murdamystery]

@emoturtle32 No, Brantley and a little known fellow named Colt ford had written or come up with these songs around 2008. Jason Aldean, though a good singer, has redone most of these songs.

[MrHappyjack123]

@emoturtle32 YEAH, YOU MISSED ALOT. BRANTLEY WAS A SONG WRITER FIRST THEN STARTED SINGING THE SONGS HE WROTE. JASON HAS BEEN USING BG'S AND OTHER PEOPLES SONGS SINCE DAY ONE.

[bicth15]

this is the f***ing song i love it have this song playing when i go to sleep

[lmm1366]

I am really taken away with his voice to this song!!!!!!

[BigHunkyDude]

I admit i used to love Jason Aldean, he was my faovirte artist for a while. Until I started listening to all of BG's songs (he's my favoite now, come on man get a shirt out or something) I gotta agree...

He killed em...especially Dirt Road Anthem, by himself then with Ludacris was a bad idea. Should have had The Lacs, at least xD

[Umaviks57]

Bg is a great doing writer and I loved him in country must be country wide but this song furs jason so much better no offense to gb at all

[ridered209]

either way bg or ja singin this song it still has the same meanin...you lose a girl you loved an she isnt comin back cuz you screwed it up but you got those memories hold on to em...

[KaylerKay]

This is a great song but Jason Aldean sung his heart into it which makes it worth listening to. Brantley is talented yes but I live Mr.Aldean. The way he sung it made me cry. Litterally.

[pandj1000]

brantley gilbert has this voice that is made for love songs, while jason aldean does too but his doesnt have something in his voice sayin yeah ive been through this it sucks ive done all this.

[mconsiglio86]

Why is this song not on his new album!!! URG! has to be one of my favorites by him!

[countryoutlaw100]

@mconsiglio86 find his first album Modern Day Prodigal Son

[joshkoct15]

BG is fixin to be bigger than jason i hope

[countrygirl32able]

Everytime I hear this song it makes me tear up!

[joshkoct15]

BG is one of the best if not the best musicians/artists ever. all of his songs have significant meaning and emotion to them. and who cares about aldean buying/singin his songs. the fact is the BG had a car wreck at 19 and devoted his life to music and has done a dam good job at it. rock on BG

[eleynaxo626]

Oh, and if you play Jason's and Brantley versions at the same time they sound good together.

[eleynaxo626]

Listen-- all of you bashing aldean. It's Brantley's choice to put his songs out there for Aldean to sing. But I have to say I love Brantley Gilbert's version of this song as well as Jason's.
