I have watched you on here for a long time, just like others, and thing you are great! I bought your cd, and liked it, but you are still destined to kick the door down to country music. I know a writer, singer, that could make you a superstar with some of his songs.
W.T.F. When I clicked on this song I thought O.M.G until I head you sing. Why dont you have a big contract? Your better then alot of the new country artists. Keep it up please. Awesome Voice.
I have always liked this song as done by the Bellamy Brothers,... still do. But, I think I like your version a little better. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I just listened to the teaser from your new album. Seems my comments were wasted. Sounds GREAT! Looks like you've gotten all the way there there. Congrats. I'll look forward to the album...and more.
I had to split this into 4 comments. You can carry a tune. You can sing. It's good. I enjoy it, but you're NOT settin' my hair on fire...yet. I think you can. The tune's coming through, but there's a sameness to much of what you do - almost a monotone.
There ARE places that should be punched. Sometimes you do. Sometimes you just barely do. Occasionaly you don't. Sometimes you get lazy at the end of a word; rarely, even at the beginning. Don't let yourself do that. Be conscious of EVERY word. And there are places to let us SEE what you feel in the words. I see a little. I don't see enough. I'll suggest you need to feel it more, then let it out, before you're going to have US feel it more.
If you were a writer, I'd say, "Find YOUR voice." Put yourself INSIDE the guy that's telling us his story. BE that guy. Let us hear more of HIS feelings - his hurts, his sadness, his joys - and show us his emotion. The artists whose songs you're singing do it. You don't have to BE them, or sound just like them, but they "made it" because they let us see it and make us feel it, not just hear it. One more thing: be critical with yourself, honest with yourself.
If a song doesn't come out REALLY good after a lot of work, maybe it's not for you. If not, let it go Gary Allen's "Her Man" might be one of those? If you admire him, try another, like "Nothin' On But The Radio", or "Lovin' You Against My Will". Fact of life: you're not going to be able to do everyone's work REALLY well. No one can. Move on to what does work for you and nutrure that. I'm gonna hang around a while. You're the best I've heard here so far...
like your music one of my favorite singers you remind me of a cross between brad paisley and that kid from that 70s show could you sing either cold hard facts of life by porter wagner or the road to hell is paved with good intentions
I don't know why I thought of this song after so many years but glad I found this version. You should nailed it in terms of getting the lyrics across. Nice
I am a big Bellamy fan, love their music and lyrics. However, dude, I like your style and how you put the "Dupre" vocals to ALL your tunes - awesome job!
Great delivery on this song! I'm glad that a friend sent me the link to it. Very good!!! I agree with heartbeat that you should make records - many who do can't sing near as well as you can.
WOW! Man This Is AMAZING! Your Voice Has Got The Most PERFECT! Tone, RICH! DEEP! And PERFECTLY SMOOTH With FLAWLESS! Tune Too, This Version Is THE FINEST! I've EVER Heard And It's FAR BETTER! Than The Original
Hi James from up North, Canada! I accidentally came across your videos & I am hooked now! You have an awesome voice & you are a very talented person! My husband likes your voice as well, he sings as well & he is from La. But anyway, we will be following your music! Keep up the great work & continue to reach for that blue sky!
man im goin to philippines in november 18 hr flight i need a cd !!!!!!!!!!!!!produce please!!!do something my God?!!!!God gave u talent give us cd's we will pay!
Your voice gives me goosebumps and that's a good thing. I cannot wait until you put some CDs out! You have a great future ahead! I'm going to spread the word.
I'm glad it amused you. James really can sing though, and to move a persons emotions; be it sad, happy, sentimental, etc. takes a lot and James has got it. Being that I am sensitive I tend to be kind and melancholic at times. I'm a little crazy, and being so sensitive I must be a fag, I should be beaten and hung for being different.
it's been a while since I have commented,I thought for sure you were sign to a contract by now my friend!!! you have Fans all over You Tube and ''Everyone LOVES YOU'' LOVE THIS SONG 100 STARS
Great voice! Thanks for sharing.
