Julian Lennon It Won't be Long Japan 86

[beatlesraul]

julian look like his father in 1963

[cRobert2020]

Julian looks and sounds more like John than Sean, but it isn't fair to either of them for people (us) to search for John in his sons, yet it is almost impossible not to.

[fidledoo]

Is he wearing a Nintendo Power Glover? It was the 80s...

[bigpudding8888]

OMG. Hes got exactly johns looks, but sadly, he doesnt display any of Johns talent in this clip

[jodemi22]

Oh shit, Julian Lennon singing "It Will not Be Long" by The Beatles, cool!! I thought Sean sang the songs of his father only and remove Julian made​him the exception of "Stand By Me" (cover of BB King) but a topic composed by his father, as is closer to Paul, I thought I would rather sing songs about him as it was, "When I'm Sixty-Four", I see I'm wrong

[TheChocobread]

He looks exactly like John in the Quarrymen

[javajen19]

Julian was hot in the 80's!

[lennoncito]

Julian is like Dhani with George. He is equal to John; i'ts a copy of john's face; he's looks more like john tah sean; i think that Sean tries to imitate to John

[TINML]

Sean can only wish he had half the talent of his older bro!

[Kaya1955]

@TINML

I see no talent in Sean like I see inJulian! You're exactly right!!! Sean only wishes!

[therealpsychomic]

He looks like a hamburg john lennon, hahaha it's great :D

[caulinrocker1]

i see no reason why julian, dhani, zack, and james dont start a band ... they could call it the beat-les

[miaa981]

@caulinrocker1 I agree <3 They can call The Beatles 2 :)))

[Nostalgico80]

Poor John!

[BeatleMan14]

0:23 OMG is John!!

[scarface12347]

@BeatleMan14 holy shit he really looks like him

[pat30473]

not impressed...hes shite---tradin on who his father was---il stick 2watchin the originals....not this chancer

[teleman84]

He got shit from his Dad.Sean was the golden child in Johns eyes.Julian is way fuckin more talented than that lisping half brother of his.Rock on Julian!

[pat30473]

@teleman84 ----do u really believe he would even have been in the position 2even get on stage if it wasent 4who his father was!!!! i think not...as 4the other brother i havent heard him sing but again if it wasent 4john none of them would b given the time of day as singers/musicians

[prone2drama]

@teleman84 It hurts cuz it's so true.

[Kiyo7]

良いな！　がんばれJULIAN

[QueenBeatlesWings]

Julian is amazing!

[LethalExistence]

Yea im with Tettestagg everything looks gay in the 80s, definitely hurt his career dressing like that

[ericvidaltercap]

c'est bien ta compris comment on fait une bonne mayonnaise ... t'en a de la la chance

[dnt9217]

OMG 0:09-0:0:11 IT'S JOHN LENNON WITHOUT THE GLASSES!!! Julian is such a splitting image of John Lennon!!!!!!!

[angelsk93]

he should cover more beatle songs..xD

[angelsk93]

freaking awesome..

[Courtney10000000]

His...arms...are...so...hawt. o.o

[toxx1d]

Hush... He looks a little gay... Isn't he?..

[Fili2009able]

@toxx1d who cares ? not me and millions of people either !

[tettestagg]

@toxx1d everything in the 80s looked gay...

[joleemacron]

@tettestagg looked GAY YOURSELF!

[tettestagg]

@joleemacron bring me your sister, dude.

[joleemacron]

@tettestagg ..bwahahaha why is it so?? i'm not a dude! people change every period of time..remember that ..just don't get your chair up! i born in modern times but i do appreciate music of old time ...sort music now is just polluted..maybe you like justine biber jeez! sucks!

[333br]

@toxx1d

So what i find it quite Sexy wearing a vest instead of shirt! he looks Yummy! ;) x)

[gzephier]

john lennon must have very strong genes since both of his sons look exactly like him:)

[keithmoon1947]

@gzephier true but sean only looks like him during the abbey road days with long hair and beard

[gzephier]

@keithmoon1947 true

[gzephier]

@gzephier what i wanna know is if julian resented his father for what he did in not being there in his life then why did he sing a cover of this song?

[NikDonaghy23]

@gzephier

Julian looks like him from 1960-1964

Sean looks like him 1968+ :)

[wonder6789]

Spiting image of dad...

[itzelinthesky]

Good cover! :D i love Julian♥

[alexmottram07]

Pinche escuincle, que no mame...

[itzelinthesky]

@alexmottram07 el es hijo de John Lennon y tiene todo el derecho de sacar un cover! aparte su voz se parece un poco mas a la de John que la de Sean... Sean canta mas agudo como su mama

[SpaceAceify]

Hey, Jude! Good job!

[arjunavalli]

è uguale al padre

[acebassist1952]

stevets youre totally right but what about paul mccartney's song

[shoofly14th]

he looks and sounds like his dad. but i like his songs not because of his dad.

:D

[Rock123]

Very nice!

[Garyinspired95]

Hey, Jude! nicely done! sounds just like daddy!

[respectthelogic]

he looks like the old man in hamberg ,respect

[Iltbsm]

Kinda ironic John let Julian down..I mean they seem so alike! The looks, the voice and even the way they act in front of a camera..I bet there are even more similarities...both had a hard time with their daddies...ironic,ironic

[ColdMountainWater]

Additionally, Julian's version, compared to The Beatles' version, has a harder sound, particularly apparent in the chorus.

A harder sound is yet possible - tighter, heavier guitar, bass, etc, more emphasis on the beat. The foundation of the song provides for this. Real kick-ass song.

In the right hands, this is still a contemporary song.

The Beatles, in their writing, predict sounds that have evolved, and are still evolving, some 40+ years later.

[ColdMountainWater]

Played 20 years after The Beatles recorded this song, it sounds awesome. Hearing it now, 25 additional years later, it still sounds great. It's about the dynamics in the sound. This is the sound that that drove people crazy. It was the way the beat was driven in how they wrote and arranged. Beatlemania wasn't just about girls swooning over their looks. The Beatles figured out how to drive the beat. The Beat-les. They knew this point well. No one really matched the way they were able to do it.

[crazygirl8343]

look its the 80s

and btw lovely cover B)

[ktrout17I]

What a cock sucker.

[jochavez81]

great cover of a good beatles song

[LOKISlog7]

Paul Ringo Dhani Julien

One final TRIBUTE to George n John

and The BEATLES

Get it done Paul.

Give all of us one FINAL gift.

[senorcardgage678]

this is so 80s

[stevets01]

Woah, Julian, Dhani Harrison, Paul's son and Ringo's son could form the greatest tribute band ever!

[nunurox]

Haha I don't think that paul has a son.

[stevets01]

Update: James McCartney and Zak Starr. I wonder if they would credit songs to Lennon/McCartney... :D

[nunurox]

oh haha would be nice.

[crazygirl8343]

He does have a son.

[robertmastroianni]

James McCartney.....born in 1977

[shoofly14th]

@stevets01 yeah! dhani is the hottest then, then julian.

[switcherdawna]

@stevets01 The Beatles: The Next Generation

[66reddish]

@stevets01 hummmmmmmmmm yeah, how to convince them???????

[4FabBEATLES]

@stevets01 they could- but they don't want to. They all want to be individual and not just known as a Beatles kid--except Sean Lennon- who does way too many John Lennon covers

[Iluvthebeatles9]

@stevets01 you're right!

[ZeppelinClassics]

@stevets01 Some things are just too good to be repeated. :3

[DangerMuppets]

@stevets01 shame sean is so shit



[HANNAHisprettyoddx]

@DangerMuppets Did you mean to say Sean IS the shit?

[whelljack]

@stevets01 that´s is a good idea

[Fribbbit]

Can't believe how much he looks like John!! :O

[abigirl63]

hes cool he looks like john

[Zebonka]

I'm glad that he's his own man and isn't doing a 'son of the Beatles thing' these days,

but - I gotta say it - he's a much more mature performer now, I would really like to hear him do one of his dad's songs. I dunno, even an obscure one as a surprise. It'd beat the hell out of this.

It'll never happen of course. Haha.

[werequat]

This IS one of his Dad's songs.

[Zebonka]

I mean NOW. Hahaha.

[tillieanne76]

i wonder what he's doing now? he does look like his dad,hope he is ok,,

[annm1969]

He has a MySpace page and a Facebook page that he updates often. He has some new music on these sites that will be released next year. He has also taken the collection of his father's things he bought back over the years, that Yoko orginally sold and has an exhibit in Liverpool called White Feather Spirit of Lennon. Go check out his pages!!

[bowiesmowie]

he's recording at the moment i believe

[gracenjon888]

God next thing you know, you'll be showing me Elvis... Yes it's very eery.. but can't compare to the Father's showmanship and not to mention better clothes :) ... it clearly shows that he went on a different road and good for him.

[juliannisaakfan]

Ah, com' on, these were great clothes in the ''80's!!

[LINKthePIRATE913]

eep julian! ^_^ its almost eerie watching julain, so mutch like his father...

[MrsMadden8]

damn just like john!

[cenasgay9111]

Julians so cool

[klarolivia]

Timeless :) Marvelous :)

[NeilFraudstrong]

Also I think when you look straight at Julian he resembles Cynthia more, but when you view him in profile it's as if John is standing right there.

[NeilFraudstrong]

I know that this video was made in 1986, but my GOD this screams 80's. Look at Carmine Rojas. So 80's. Fun fact: Carmine Rojas played bass on the Let's Dance album.

[beatlequeen06]

So cute! Jules is totally John's clone! He looks and sounds exactly like his daddy. RIP Johnny.

[RDG484]

If not for the slightly faster tempo I would have thought this was his father singing with the Beatles. They sound soooo much alike. Are there any other Beatle songs that Julian sings?

[Tori16454]

he did a verison(ms) of when in 64

[scartissue94]

he has john's eyes

[wouldntyoulike2know]

Ooo, this was a good one! I love this song. Gives me shivers.

[NeilFraudstrong]

I never thought Julian looked like John much until I saw this video for the first time.

[DaSpaz94]

Wow, Jules looks YOUNG here. i guess he was young so that makes sense but wow.

[GrizaBibi]

E' John. non quanto Sean assomigli a John o Dhani a George, però... si vede una parte di suo padre nella voce, nei movimenti e nell'aspetto!!

[charlies86angel]

Awesooooome!

[stripeyhole]

Well, this is completely soulless.

[LanceHall]

yuck!

[HKwong0502]

Was he only 20 at that time?

Julian looks and sounds like his dad :D

[juliannisaakfan]

Julian was born in '63 and this tour was in '86, so a little more like 23.....

[iLoveJohnLennon17]

omg he sounds exactly like his dad

[superman11978]

I always think that if John had lived, he and Julian would have patched things up and they would have released a few songs together. A bit of John's talent clearly trickled down to Julian, and John could have helped Julian hone that and grow it.

[alejandraLV9]

his dad would be proud of him

[supikachu]

es dificil aher eso sin salir de la sombra de un padre domo john pero buen trabajo el que hace mucho mejor que el de sean

[fnell1959]

I think this is a cool video of Julian reminds me of a younger John

[radiozoto2006]

it`s like a fuckin' mix of John and Yoko (:D) but seeing him feels like watch an old Beatles video, like the beginnings of the Fab Four, when the same John was just a lad... thrilling resemblance... why nothin' get together Beatles' sons yet?

[radiozoto2006]

my fall... Julian it's actually Cynthia's son, not Yoko's... I`m blaspheming (:S)

[ralfodrum]

Some promoter HAS to get Julian Lennon,Dani Harrison + Zak Starkey TOGETHER!!Doesn't Paul have a son? COME ON SOMEBODY!! I'll pay to see that show!!!!! Sons of gods

[JulianFan55]

I wouldn't hold my breath. Dhani just released his own album & Jules has a new album coming out early '09. Not sure what's going on with Zak Starkey & Paul's son, James McCartney. Not really up on their doings. But my main point is that they are doing their own things right now. Although...Jules did say in a recent interview he did for Australian TV that he & Sean have talked about possibly doing a project together sometime. But they aren't going to force it. It will happen when it feels right.

[looseground]

Better than that would be Julian + Dhani + Paul + Ringo (since these two are still rocking). That would be awesome.

[LedZeppelinSx66]

zak is an amazing drummer whos drummer of the who (and recently left oasis) but i agreee with looseground they should have paul and ringo

[md47bot]

they should all play in a awsome band but i reccomend 3 other guys:Paul Weller,Noel and Liam Gallagher

[beelaker]

That would be awesome. maybe have Zak in there too. and Ron Lovely producing.

[LODGE4444]

The REAL son of God !!!!!

[QueenXOXOZeppelin]

wow-why did someone thumbsdown that comment?

You're defs right

[BeatlesForeverGirl]

Julian is amazing=) Love him soooo much!!!!<3

[psychospeakempire]

That's my buddy Doug Worthington on guitar (with the big red hair). great vid. It's great seeing Julian singing his old man's classic song.

Paul

[tp49509]

Paul, I loved to hear Julian sing one of his dads song's. Thank you, i really appreciate it. Tina :(

[hahahathebeatlesrock]

man, he looks just like john....

[Mychaels]

He looks like his mother.. Compare pictures. He does not like his father. Yet he copies his songs. Poorly at best.

[SoupBeardMan]

Everything about this was shitty. He looked a lot like John Lennon. He just needed a black suit and a rickenbacker.

[MOSFET2288]

I thought that Julian Lennon did a great job of covering this John Lennon--Paul McCartney song. His father would have been proud had he been alive at the time of this performance.

[blueticecho]

HEY JUDE, Take a sad song and try to make it better!!!!

[danyellbella35]

I'm surprised he would have chosen a Beatles cover, since he didn't get along with his dad and all. he sang it well though

[xicaozao]

he realy looks like his father!! ( great )

[ChickensfromMars]

Wow, this looks like John in his really early twenties, if you put this is balck and white I wouldn't know the difference.

[PsychicKnife]

This guy never seems anything less than completely uncomfortable live, now or then. Not made for the stage at all.

[prestonpb]

Julian was about 23 here, the same age as John when the Beatles broke big in England in '63. The song he does here was released at that time also.

[aurits88]

Julian esta guapisimooooo

[kickassfan]

he is more than gorgeous and really cute here

[Shanna216]

Yeah...especially since he sounds JUST like John...

[robemachado]

He looks like John, but he doesn't sound like John...

[Marilyn22Beatle]

I love Julian Lennon

[Marilyn22Beatle]

this is awesome I love Julian

[Foo3112]

wow, great performance.

[crashmyers]

Man does he ever look like John....but thank god his dad wasnt dancing all over the place like that...they would have been the first "boy band"! lol His "photograph smile" album is great.

[JulianFan55]

Well, in the 80's they did dance around like that. So he's not being any different than anyone else at the time. The first "boy band" did start in the 80's BTW. lol His "Photograph Smile" album is great. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the new CD to come out. :)

[hinataxxgirl]

man he isnt so good. must be hard to sing when ur fathers' john lennon. man he has his fathers nose and eyes

[JulianFan55]

Um...before you judge...do a search on his album "Photograph Smile" Oh yeah...he's inherited his dad's talent.

[Zebonka]

Could you... stop stalking people on these videos?!

Let them draw their own conclusions. Some of us like both John and Julian, some only like on or the other.... whatever the case may be, you're not going to change anyone's minds. Fuck 'em!

[JulianFan55]

I am debating, not stalking. It's no different than me going to a message board & debating topics there. Only in this case, we're commenting on videos. Actually, a lot of people's minds have been changed for the better. Julian has gotten a bad wrap over the years, people make a lot of assumptions & then believe it as fact. So...I'm trying to just get people to see Julian in a whole different light & not to compare him to his dad so much. I'm not the only who feels that way.

[Zebonka]

Righto then. So you like debating, but you're not happy with people debating how favourably Julian compares to John? How isn't that a valid comparison in the first place?

[JulianFan55]

If people compare Julian to John in a way that says "Julian is John's son & I see a lot of John in him. That's awesome he's following in his dad's footsteps." That's fine. But when people compare Julian's earlier work to John's later, more experienced work & then say Jules has no talent. I don't think that is a fair assessment, do you? Continued...

[JulianFan55]

...John had a lot more experience writing music before he went solo & he wrote for many yrs w/ Paul. Jules has had co-writers over the yrs too. But he's criticized for it. I don't see that as very fair. Unfortunately, that's what a lot of people do. And that's why me & other people come here to debate. Because it's time that people start giving Jules a chance to shine on his own.

[Zebonka]

He does, he always did. What people think of that is irrelevant, don't let it bother you so much.

[juliannisaakfan]

I'm one of those who was a John/Beatles fan way before I was a Julian fan & I have to say (& please don't accuse me of stalking u)that I agree w/JulianFan 55. There have been some totally shallow & undeserved comments left here recently. How can it be a fair comparison when they say that John looks better or he's 'a child so queer & superficial?'No, maybe John didn't dance like that when he was younger, he was more mature, he just wore toilet seats and pads on his head!!! :-)

[Zebonka]

What I'm getting at, is that people who write things like 'so queer' are probably too stupid to bother with in the first place.

You aren't going to change their deluded minds, so just enjoy the video.

[barrie21]

as great beatles fan myself and ignorant fool when it comes to julian what songs would you suggest of him?

[juliannisaakfan]

Well, listen to Too Late for Goodbyes, I Don't Wanna Know or Saltwater for that Beatlesque sound (my favorite albums are Mr. Jordan & Photograph Smile), the 'VH1: Julian Lennon Behind the Music' album has a bit of all his best & to hear what he has been doing recently, listen to Disconnected & Looking for Love (if they aren't still here on Youtube, go to Myspace and look up Julian Lennon).

[mtzpresente]

what a shame,,, if John were alive they would come to die

with that child so queer and superficial

[Ericboom]

you know,since Julian looks so much like his dad, maybe he should've been named John Lennon, Jr. Huh?

[JulianFan55]

Actually...technically he is John Lennon, Jr. Full name John Charles Julian Lennon. Charles is for Cynthia's father and Julian is for John's mother Julia. When he was little & John was still with Cynthia, it got a little confusing when Cynthia would shout for John. So they started calling him Julian instead. Personally, I like the name Julian a lot. :)

[barrie21]

omg did anyone hear about Phillip Norman's book about john lusting for Paul and wanting to sleep with his mother?

[tubeuserrr]

LoL .

[EmmaEarthquake]

wow he really looks like his dad here!!!

[DEPPiffied]

he doesnt look exactly like his dad...pshhhhh i think john looks better o_0

[kickassfan]

hes so young and naive here,and so cute too.

[beatlekrista]

Jesus Christ, he looks so much like his dad! :O

[Sean123771]

looks so much like john but so different lifestyles

[pelytcb]

He hates his dad but he sings his songs???? sorry I don't want to be rude or anything like that, I like Julian i'm just wondering.....

[pelytcb]

and I think this is a great cover...

[JulianFan55]

He never said he hated his dad. In fact, I think he loved him and still loves him in memory. That's probably why I'm sure it hurts so much because John wasn't a better dad to him. Love the person not the sin. Jules did say in the Julian on John video that he forgave his dad because he understands the circumstances John found himself in. And (paraphrasing) he respected him a great deal for his music...but as a person not so good. So this leads back to the debate of him covering a Beatles song.

[bladtcoomadness]

JulianFan55 you hit the nail on the head dude.

[JulianFan55]

Actually, I'm not a dude...but a dudette. LOL ;)

[yellyman]

Of course Julian loves John. There`s no doubt about it. I know that John felt very bad for neglecting Julian. He talked about it in one of his last interviews before he died. It`s so sad that John was killed before he could do things right with Julian.

[fab4crazystill]

absolutely wonderful.thank you!

[Sue21Ringo]

I love this song I now love him

[JestedJester]

He looks gay

[williestratton]

shutup, it's the 80's.

[19tacako30]

Oh COOL !!

[JulianFan55]

You're welcome. :)

And then the record company signed him because of who is dad was. And the radio stations played his music because of who his dad was.
