  • He sings just as well as his dad does!

  • He need to pass DNA test to prove he is really a Paul McCartney's son...

  • Sings like Justin Bieber oh god.

  • can't sing

  • can't sing at all

  • It might well be the lack of daily 9 hour sets at the the clubs in Hamburg that are the main difference between the voices of James and his father.

  • what a freak!

    cant sing, either.

  • @DukeShelton

    Negative comments from those with no talent ...like yourself Duke! James McCartney is a talented songwriter and singer.

  • Just wanted to add, you are so cute james.

  • Love the song, Love james voice, wish you all the best, your dad must be so proud. you are yourself and with your own style.

  • James you´re every good. Please don´t care to a few foolish comments. You don´t need to proof anything because you are great and you do a very very good job. Please don´t hide just because "musically blind" people can´t see you. They expect you to be Paul but get disapointed because you are James and then forget to see your talent. Please just go ahead.

  • The get together should be for a good cause.

  • @paxsedan Very cruel.

  • JerichoDitch2 You may be right, but I would like to live the fantasy of a 2nd generation brilliance!

  • @rjmprod just because the parents had it in spades, it doesn't follow the kids do.

  • @mark22160 Ok dude, would I make it better for you if I said, "I enjoy what the children are doing of these famous musicians?"

    Better?

  • @rjmprod I am happy for all to enjoy their music of personal taste. Please understand that I was not making any personal attack. My point was the Beatles were unique, many children of famous parents have tried to follow in their footsteps and failed miserably. As Ringo would say, "peace and love", sorry I didn't explain myself more clearly.

  • @mark22160 yes, the Beatles were unique, we do agree!

    Have a great Holiday!

  • @rjmprod Happy Christmas Mate, all the best to you and yours!

  • @rjmprod Also, I would agree that Zak Starky is a very credible musician in his own right along with Jason Bonham - both drummers of course. I have looked ad Sean Lennon on you tube and wasn't very keen on his performances. Without a doubt, the worst second generation act was the Osmond Boys, who were truly dreadful, hence my more generalised comments. I have not seen or heard anything by Dahni Harrison.

  • super

  • Mr. McCartney... this isn't the '80s anymore...

  • @paxsedan

    My very thought.  :/

  • for this song: ''Old man'' is good, and I like it, listen. similar to Paul.

  • awful! complete shit. Dhani Harrison is great !!!, just as Julian L(.-im the beatles fun 30 years) sorry but it is big shit.

  • the voice sounds a little girlish don't u think,and he goes off key a little

  • Mate, this guy is incredible!!!!! Def a new fan

  • How could he be anything less than very good...It's in his DNA! I think his pop is proud. I remember when he was younger and tearing around the Sussex hedge rows in a little loud car. But now he has found the music and hopefully will be good enough to follow in the foot steps of his dad.

  • @rjmprod music is NOT in DNA ... genius is not hereditary, as this video proves.... just awful compared to his legendary father... a bad song, sung badly. the Beatles children should all go be accountants or something ... the shoes are just too big to fill

  • @JerichoDitch2 Actually IQ is hereditary, but not a guarantee. You're right though, this sucks.

  • Once again, I cannot finish watching, it is just too painful. this guy needs to become an english teacher or something... sorry James but dude, it's just not happening for you

  • He looks funny bald. He should grow his hair and a beard and dye all his hair brown just to see what he looks like.

  • He looks like darth vader without the helmet.

  • James is a sweetheart. I love this song and I appreciate his modesty. He will do well. The only thing is everything was/is too easy for him; no matter how talented, he doesn't (and cannot) have fis father's hunger and angst when he was a kid in Liverpool... But this is not James' fault, of course. Go, James!

  • A bald McCartney, now I feel better.

    

  • Yo James,

    Greets from the Netherlands, love your flow... but take it easy on the tofu man, you're getting a little bit chubby.

    Peace,

    Sean & Kate

  • he sounds just like his father and look alike as well

  • @RAPSODIAROCK  no he does not...

  • He's like the Bizarro version of his father. It's disconcerting.

  • stick at it cause I think your OK

  • He's good.

  • How much would you pay to see Beatles children playing together a couple of their dads songs?

  • same eyes

    

  • not bad!

    

  • I wish I could figure out why people are constantly saying the 'Beatle Children' should all get together. Why? They should not have to follow in thier dad's footsteps! No one can replace The Beatles!

  • The drummer looks like young Elvis Presley

    

  • lol the drummer is having such a good time :)

  • He sounds like George ; P

  • It's funny cuz James got some of the facial characteristics of Paul..but he definitely didn't inherit Paul's cuteness xD

  • hahaha... your fat and bald!

  • Whoa!! dude, get your old man to buy you some hair plugs, lose weight, then get some singing lessons. so sad.

  • Whoa!! dude, get your old man to buy you some hair plugs, lose weight, then get some singing lessons. so sad.

  • OMG ITS LIKE SEEING PAUL MCCARTNEY BALD!!!! I ALMOST CRIED!

  • he looks like hommer simpson

  • James fat version of Paul

  • What a baldie!!!

  • Jesus, he has the same punchable face as his old man but also looks like a fat uncle fester and sounds like a dog gettin kicked in the bollocks!

  • @ST0MP0 hahahaha i was thinking EXACTLY the same man! hahahahaha good one

  • paul had a bunch of goofy lookun offspring good thing they got daddys money

  • @flakbac Wasn't going to comment, but sometimes idiocy, immaturity & just plain disrespect of other human beings draw me out of my shell. :-) Besides all of the above, blind would be the operative word here. Heather, Mary & Stella (I'm a man, so won't comment on James) are gorgeous. All fine looking women..except that's not even the main point here. Societies' & your fixation on appearances or perceived appearances, I should say, is the problem. Easy to insult folks hidden & not to their faces.

  • Gran Artista, James...la saga continúa!!!!

  • The children of well-known musicians must feel an inordinate amount of pressure to measure up, even though they rarely, if ever, can. Unfair to them, as they should be considered in their own right, but, as we all know, that is almost never the case.

  • Diet.

  • Funny how much James McCartney resembles (strikingly so!) a younger, clean-shaven Vivian Stanshall of the Bonzo Dog Band (who appeared in the "Magical Mystery Tour" Film) more than the younger Paul McCartney.

  • Catchy song!! Sexy drummer!!!

  • wow the spinning image of Sir (daddy) Paul! =Oo

  • Paul had Grant Mitchell for a son

  • It was a benefit show for David Lynch's Maharishi University of Meditation (or something like that). Donovan was also there.

  • Why was he in Fairfield, Iowa?

  • Awesome !!!!!

  • Paul at 69 looks better than his son....

  • @applejive43 but the baldness does make  huge difference.

  • Bonito....feliz domingo...:):):)

  • would love to see the children of john,Paul,George &, Ringo perform together someday.  Gweege

  • suena bien su musica, cual es el problema que lo critican tanto? ademas, no es tan feo como para que digan que es feo! que mas da... tiene el talento en la sangre. como si eso lo tuviera cualquiera.

  • fauls son fails

  • the pobably would hate this suggestion, but how about seeing James, Sean and Julian Lennon, Zak Starkey, and Dhani Harrison all playing together. thats a pretty talented group. i would put Julian and James doing most of the vocals. ZAk is obviously a good drummer. Dhani plays guitar and Sean is also a really solid instrumentalist who could play either bass, guitar, or piano.

  • @cupolove1 That'd be awesome! They could call themselves the S.O.B.s! (Sons of Beatles).............okay, that was bad, I know......................but that would be a KILLER band, no doubt!

  • @cupolove1 Nah....you put hair on him and he is Paul. I don't like his music. But, John Lennon was my fav Beatle. Paul was irritating at best. Hey Jude and a couple more is about it for me. I agree with your idea, Cupolove. That would be an amazing band. Even if they just played tribute to the Beatles. One night guys...how 'bout it? btw how cute is Sean???? If I were younger, i'd have a crush on him.

  • @cupolove1 That is a brilliant idea! I will help you organize that event if you are serious about it.

  • Jesse,James,Dhani and Zak.. :D

    The Beatles' sons..

  • i think all the beatles sons should get together n play their father's song. at least sean lennon sounds like john. that'd be cool

  • I think he sounds good, why all of the hatred for him?

  • he is as good sounding as his dad :)

  • Would love to see Sean and Julian make some music together.

  • I commend him for being brave enough to make music! He seems like a pretty good musician and he'll probably grow into a stronger songwriter. I'm not crazy in love with any of the Beatles sons music aside from Sean and Julian Lennon. I think those two guys just shine, especially Sean. But I'm open-minded and I wish the best for James!

  • absolutely terrible, and what a faggot

  • @1m2a3t4t5 Enough talk of your father. What did you think of the song?

  • What a powerful voice!!!!!

  • he is not talented just an ordinary guy playing music,that's all,the only beatle child that is fair talented is julian

  • @MyDreamside

    That's just your opinion. I prefer James and Sean.

  • @MyDreamside Absolute B.S. "Just a guy playing music", that in itself takes no talent. You're right.

  • drummer looks like jude law.

  • I'm gonna buy the E.P.! Nuff said! 

  • James McCartney is just being himself. He doesn't have to pretend to be someone else.

  • from all beatles' sons the only one i actually enjoy listening is Dhani Harrison, Thenewno2 and Fistful of Mercy are pretty good. Not saying the rest are bad though :)

  • Good job! Need better recording audio to give better representation.

  • Really! Give they guy a break! He's a HUMAN BEING. All the rest is just happenstance. It's Like TR said: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena!

    It's easy to find fault...Where's YOUR Video?

  • wow, he really looks like Paul and Linder

    Kinda feel sorry for him to have to walk in such immeasurable footsteps.

  • he's a sculptor :))

  • gee i didn`t know that vegetables were so fattening. they were all raised vegetarians were`nt they?

  • a part to be a nice song, it is wonderful for me to see this "fat and bald" guy doing it. Because that gives hope to ALL people to try to do MUSIC without the help of a NICE FACE that last "one or two years" as John very well said.

  • what a fat slob go on a diet! cant sing cant play either!

  • what a fat slob go on a diet! cant sing cant play either!

  • @kavallan ur such a mean idiot. Im betting hes like 100 times more talented than u at singing, ur 100 times more talented at whining.

  • lets be real here. if he wasnt pauls son, we wouldnt be wasting our time looking at this would we? and just cuz it is pauls son, doesnt mean we'll accept anything they throw at us presentation wise, or song wise. ok, so look at him, he's bald and yes the guy is overweight. he should be wearing something that would make him look much better & appealing onstage. and this song is just a song. its just ok, starts to get boring. he's pauls son, so he has alot to live up to. but do it right or stop.

  • Not bad. All the more proof these second generation Beatles- James, Julian, Sean, Dhani and Zak should do a collaborative project.

  • MUY CHIDA LA ROLA, EN EL SEGUNDO 0:27, CUANDO MIRA A LA IZQUIERDA(TU DERECHA) PARECIERA QUE PAUL SE QUEDO CALVO, JEJEJE,, JAMES LUCE IGUALA SU PADRE,GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR SALUDOS DE UN BEATLEMNIACO ORGULLOSAMENTE MEXICANO

  • please please why is Steven Bayley the x lead singer from the band 'the open' doing in the band what a waste of Genius i have both his albums the silent hours and statues and still listen to most days as they are amazing I'm not putting down James but Steven is an amazing talent and is much better than this and he's on backing vocals to add to further insult, one can only hope that this is a side project.

    Please Steven Bayley start making your own music again.

  • holy shit is he bold?

  • This is quite good ~ think the lad is trying very hard not to be like you know who!

  • Eu... adorooooooo a música dele!!!

    Acho muito talentoso.

    Que venha para o Brasil!!!

    I love.....

  • not bad at all, i enjoy his style of music.

  • Why don't James McCartney, Julian Lennon, Dhani Harrison and Zak Starkey form a band? They could call it "The New Beatles" or "Millennium Beatles" and even have a reality show in the beginning to promote the band.

  • @tonasse omg...NO...what are you thinking

  • @tonasse They should totally do that aye.

  • @tonasse I think they want to be their own people :)

  • @tonasse Beatles 2.0! 

  • Great. Just what the world needs more of. A pudgy, overweight, skin head, bone head geeky looking goon with man boobs, who happens to have a famous father. Next time, please, let us hear the vocals first, before giving us any visuals.

  • @durgaaa Just close your eyes, focus on what's important - the music. Judge not others lest you be judged.... you twit.

  • @lalovelylinda --Close your eyes.. Ha, how stupid. Nope, I happen to not be blind and I use all my senses. The boy is a MESS at age 33, and he needs help. If his sisters, mother and father are not fat then he does not need to be either, you twit.

  • @durgaaa Well, you may have senses, but you're a senseless, ignorant son-of a- bitch with no sign of a functioning brain in your head. Oh, that's so mean... just like you! Speaking of messes (which you did,) I'd bet my house you're a big, FAT, bone head geeky-looking goon. Why else would you need to point out other people's "flaws?" Do us all a favor and 1) post us a video of what YOU look like; and 2) go away and never come back. Twerp.

  • @lalovelylinda --sorry, twerp you're wrong on all counts. Anyone with eyes can see Paul's son needs help. Only if you are kidding yourself and living in denial or a big Fat Slob yourself would you not recognize it. Twerp. Do yourself a favor and Wake Up!

  • The talent is there, no doubt about it. He seems uneasy on stage and it's not surprising because all reports are that he is extremely shy - unlike his extroverted Dad. Regardless, he has lots to offer musically. I really like his voice in particular. To the puny minded people dropping insults based on the superficial, you all know you would just pee your pants and fall all over yourself if he decided to say one word in your general direction. Get. A. Life.

  • Really nice! Sounds between Paul and Ian Anderson of Yes. Like the Song too!!!

  • @deec269 Did you mean JON Anderson? I don't think James would sound right singing Aqualung.

  • @samonowens I think YOU mean Ian Anderson of Tull fame, Jon Anderson was with YES.

  • very good,he's put in a lot of hard work,you don't just make music without the hard learning curve.

  • I really dig this!! Really good stuff! Good harmony songwriting! works well! It's good and looks like he is like the rest of us getting along with our projects unhelped He's definitely better than what you get the same of in most cities.. he's got creativity that goes outward from his self! I like him!

  • I really dig this!! Really good stuff! Good harmony songwriting!  works well! It's good and looks like he is like the rest of us getting along with our projects unhelped.

  • Maybee Paul should write him a song. Dont get me wrong! its not bad, but its far from great in my opinion.

  • He looks just like Paul!

  • @HearKenzieRawr He doesn’t look like Paul; his voice is not as good as Paul’s voice! But he is his son and Paul hopefully loves him!

  • Paul McCartney's son?

  • wow, he's so good!

  • goog song, great riff!

  • hero of the day

  • Good music for people to listen to, as simple as that.

    I don't think he's not tryng to convert the corporate music listeners.

    Not all music has to be generic from Sony.

  • Pretty fucking cool James

    Keep up the good songwriting.

  • this song is fuckin awsome!!!

  • gotta say i really like this song alot, his voice is great.

  • angelic voice

  • It's unfortunate he doesn't take after Paul more. What's really unfortunate, though, is his choice of wardrobe -- eek.

  • the adams family

  • mmmm, don't give up the day job.

  • @hugobear1

  • That my cousin:)

  • it is true what they say that baldness is from your mothers said of jeans for his dad has all his hair.

  • He is a singer. Talk about having a tough act to follow. Kids got guts and does have a pretty good voice as well.

  • Hate to be cruel, but...Looks like they took Frankenstein and put Paul's face on him.

  • My comment is for those who said he sounds like a girl:

    He doesn't always sing in higher register. Go listen to his other songs before you comment, please. And who cares what he looks like? Music is about listening. Why should he be a carbon copy his Dad? On one hand,it would be a great compliment, but James does his own thing, and I think he does it quite well:) Lots of talent there!

  • He's quite good. I don't care about his weight, but the baldness is strange. But then, maybe like Brittney Spears, it's a sign of a new beginning. I hope he does well.

  • i like the song it's good, he is a little fat though

  • is he castrated?

  • he sounds like a girl

  • James is great guitar player!

  • he has a beautiful high register, nice warm sound, james doesn't fall far from the tree.

  • It's pitiful how much people give importance to the looks these days, it's sad cause we can see him there putting hard effort on which is most likely one of his life's dreams and the only words you have to him is calling basic/childish stuff like fat and bald (lol are you that frustrated?), instead of keeping such rude comments for yourselves in case you don't have anything better or nicer to say.

    I for one quite enjoyed what've heard, even with this quality of record. Wish you the best luck.

  • @LordSanctus If James was as good looking as his dad he would make it into the music industry right away, sadly as you say people are too superficial and silly to call him names. On the other hand, I consider that the only one who really inherited the musical talent from one of the Beatles was Julian Lennon. He really wrote a handful of wonderful tunes that resemble his father's genius.

    Go James!

  • @MsGnorts Ringo's kid replaced Keith Moon in the Who. He can't be too bad, huh?

  • @LordSanctus Thank you for defending this young man, aside from his talent let us all respect James for his lack of bad press unlike many other celeb kids, I like this song just listened for the first time, he has a very pleasant singing voice too, when I first looked at James I didn't think heavy set I thought oh he shaved his blond hair.

  • @LordSanctus its probably hard for him to live his dreams, because of how famous his Dad is.

  • @LordSanctus Great comment. Shake hands with you. ♪

  • @LordSanctus your right genes are something you have no control over

  • @LordSanctus Well, you should see that in the show business very important for the appearance of the performers. There is no doubt that a good guitar player James. But, unfortunately, is not outwardly appealing. It is not the father's genes are dominant. Paul, today, hardly looks older than his own son. I do not want to insulting not Paul, not James, but unfortunately these are the facts. I so wanted a Paul McCartney clone. Unfortunately, I was born too late in order to see the Beatles.

  • the song is great and i can see the world giving him a chance off the good will his father produced but he needs to sharpen up his look a bit.....i can see the beatle kids never getting together bc their pressured to do something great and its just not really possible....maybe a one off concert would be good for charity where they do the Get Back rooftop gig...but I don't see em all getting together for a original album...Dhani is the future of the music industry and it would stifle him..

  • who gives a fudge about shadow this and that hes alive playing music that is all that matters keep rocking
