[BlaqueJac]

Baby I don't know if you can hear yourself sing, but if that's all you've got then you've got enough for everybody else... I can't believe i've never heard you sing until now.

[mariaaah13]

[jimbeezy07]

0:12

[danwasfreakinhere]

Damn! You felt the Holy Ghost in that song!

[jimbeezy07]

@danwasfreakinhere well I dont know if I would say I felt the Holy Ghost, per/se, what I felt was more along the lines of a busted eardrum... lol

[DEVASTATOR478]

[nooneveryimportant]

[hiberr]

[happyjessus]

somebody needs to write some music for this TALENT!

[marcosh623]

Qué triste los que no pueden valorar este video.. Genialidad pura.

[donkeygospel6]

He was great here. Too bad he turned out to be so annoying on the live shows.

[DylanIsJD]

@donkeygospel6 You took the words right out of my mouth. I couldn't stand him love, but I will always love this.

[neg10453]

even after all this time, tears still form. look up David Peaston who just passed singing the same song and compare. great voices!!!!!

[flowerpower6111]

im crying....haha, im so pathetic XP

[delebru]

dubi dubi dah dah!

[hununuisnoob]

scotty who? WHO?! >:(

[JanisDaisy]

The peak of emotion is when Jacob's done and the judges are giving him a standing ovation, Steven turns up to where Jacob's family is sitting and says, "Be Proud!" I lose it every time I watch that part...of course the inspirational background music might have something to do with it too.

[dana53745]

AMAZING!!!!!!

[scarlett10100]

genius!!!!!!!!!!

[tulips7673]

@ilikeazula you a real dumb ass 

[dantedaboss]

"im not a cryer i dont cry"

[kbrod90210]

I need HALEY, PIA, JACOB & CASEY albums for listen all day !!! and one by scotty for use like a frisbee

[Tonishia2]

[123BenThere]

0:49 Randy's like "wtf is happening to my ears right now ?!"

[MrDougydevon]

the best

[Noblesvidad434gv]

The song is new for me. I did not know the words. But who needs the words when you can just burst your heart out and make everybody feel what you really mean? That is the mark of a great singer for me.

[penny9x]

the best performance ever!

[TheChazxxx]

Rediculous!!! This Is One Of The Best Singers Ive Ever Heard Seriously? This Guy Is Just ...........An As For Him Bein Gay Wat The Fuk Has That Gt To Du With His Singin An Further Still Any Of U Immature Closet Dickeds

[samijo25able]

[10prettykitty]

[beatinqass15]

Everybody Talking About Him Being Gay Really Needs Too Grow Up , Like Really How Old Are You People . His Sexuality Has Nothing Too Do Wit His Talent & It Damn Sure Ain't None Of Y'all Business

[bxcole]

He made the hair on my arms stand up and tears came to my eyes and I'm a hard ass.

[princechygo16]

@optimizeRu i agree....i think it was a popularity contest

[TheDrakeKage]

You know a singers good when they dont open their eyes in the performance.

[vxmart8]

This dude is a vocal beast! You go boy!

[vionitaiden]

eventhough he doesnt act like a man, he has a wonderful voice that u dont have!

[bebey1817]

mantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapp­pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp­pppppp !!!!!!!!

[777MAP]

Must you bash his sexuality rather than praise his obvious talent??

[curtiswilliams1000]

@777MAP WE NEED 2 PAY ATTENTION 2 HIS TALENT N NOT HIS SEXUALITY!

[berlande101]

"hehe" "haha"

[msbabyzee22]

2girls that is not nice

[123BenThere]

0:49 Randy's like "wtf is going on?!" lol

[Whiteberry88]

Wow! I love that performance. His voice is AMAZING.

[billejoe56]

[JacksterMs13]

[d3wCeeJa3]

[catawba909]

0:44 Jennifer is giving Steven a hand job.

[tjorrr]

this guy is blessed

[warpdrivenyc]

AWESOME!!! Lost for words!!!

[1987rje]

The fact that he is gay is irrelevant! This boy can sing his ass off point blank end of story. So ya'll need to stop hating and give respect where its due.

[shadowstarfield]

I had the same reaction as the guy in the pink shirt in 1:08

[borbamxx]

The only thing bad about this video is that it doesn't has a huge crowd...

[MrSantaClaws1001]

He is great. Admit it, you wonderful, perfect, glorious straight people.

[aliyahs5400]

OOOOOhhh He is way 2 good!!!!

[TheZebrachick101]

AMAZING......BRING IT TO CHURCH!! COME ON BABY. JACOB LUSK<3

[SydneyBydney14]

and hes not a faggot

[hikairoa]

i want a studio version . it'll be soo awesome!

[bmigga]

True soul. Raw emotion.

[baldrick1485]

@bmigga how absolutely true!

[xxhailybabexx]

If you think he's a fag, cool, but last time i checked this video has nothing to do with him being a fag.

[punkmusicmetal]

I thought his vocalizing was annoying. Adding way too much frill for really meager emotional return. And then when he goes to his lows.... blah. Completely different tone like he was swallowing something. I mean, I'm not a singer by any means, but that performance annoyed me, I'm sorry to say.

[Mrsleticiajonas]

@punkmusicmetal its called gospel

[InfektedBiitezz]

Gives me the chills every time.

[astroph]

Randy you sound like a big choo choo train -Waterboy

[micemei]

@2girls1filipino thank you!!! voice of reason here

[ebunlewis1]

These vocals....SLAYED!

[nellie2581]

Great

[ELBARBAAZUL1]

Q CAÑOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOON LOCO!!!! NO ES POR DISCRIMINAR NI SER RACISTA PERO SOLO LOS NEGROS TIENEN ESA VOZ TAN ENVIDIABLE!!!!! GENIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BrianOwennn]

The people saying "He can't sing" know nothing of music, it's as simple as that, the people who can truly appreciate his gift are other musicians(Like myself). Look at all the other singers in the room, on their feet and blown away, while you're sitting at home still thinking that auto-tune sounds good. If we had shows like this years ago the results would have been different. America just wasn't ready for such a talented artist.

[keekthegeek351]

DeAndre Brackensick feelin his idol brothers voice 1:06 , he betta sang!

[smoothcriminal10000]

Dang. He was so amazing. Who originally sang this?

[wesiscool123]

@smoothcriminal10000 aretha franklin i think



[nellie2581]

@smoothcriminal10000 Billie Holiday also sang this song besides Aretha

[micemei]

A ROOM FULL OF ARTISTS the contestants who obviously know about music and JLO Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson......they all stood up and applauded him and some lowlifes NOBODIES here on youtube want to say Jacob Lusk is horrible bla bla attention whore etc. etc. ok you guys stop hating im sorry you dont have talent like jacob and never will thats life.

[KineticRuler]

Holy fuk everyone thinks we hate him cuz he's gay, but honestly nobody cares about homosexuality!!! It's because he is so up himself and purposely draws attention to himself, gay or not, he's a DICK

[KINGofWORLDmj]

brilliant!!

[vniguam]

heres the thing about jacob.. i felt he always overdid it... for me... the difference between for example stefano and him, is like good sex and rape... its a weird analogy but basically what im trying to say is that jacob takes his incredible voice too far, thats as far as the analogy goes... its really good to hear once or twice... three times maybe, but after the third time it just becomes as if hes singing the same thing every time

[misticmocha]

god I love this soulful Jacob Lusk!!!!!

[2000wb]

Why do steven tyler ALWAYS have to ruin good auditions with his screaming

[Emilmorillo033198]

Goosebumps....PERIOD!

[LeMasterDisaster]

@2girls1filipino you shouldnt say faggot...its offencive to butt pirates

[ilikeazula]

@LeMasterDisaster *anal invaders

[exgf22]

@ilikeazula "Rectal Ranger" haha

[ilikeazula]

@exgf22 poop pusher :)

[lbulaoat]

@ilikeazula Back-door intruder!!! Haha

[redbull2774]

@ilikeazula oh dear never mind jealousy is a bad thing to have i know you deffo cant sing like Lusk

[rpapaioff]

To Be and IDOL you don't need to win American IDOL ,he is just amazing IDOL show is over but we keep watching this song and enjoy it everytime...I'm Sorry i can't say the same about Scotty...

[dreamon613]

its a shame he didint sing like this in his other performances. He would have taken it all.

[Pookiestud]

0:47 OMG.

[shockedza]

imagine a 12 track cd with jacob overdoing every song, i will just end up with a terrible headache

[BamAkaDan23]

If that wasnt straight from his heart then im as wrong as i was never before.Damn damn damn is all i can say.And when i see people like him that are blessed like that well then i reached again the point where i ask myself why the fuck doesnt they get supportet to cheer up many people.NO what all day happens IS that crappy rapper gets the support and people with such a voice need to fight trough all theyre life.

[ronnie3704]

He does have talent, there is absolutely denying that. But he just plain over does it... way too much over the top.

[MRUBOKAY]

Did he really just take me to church???  I felt that myself...

[KINGofWORLDmj]

That is the best thing I have ever heard... omg!!

[AuzzyBoy100]

holy crap! SHES AMAZING!

[shanweezy]

love him <3

[nick13213]

@sparkers70 actually the best performance was james durbin you got another thing coming as many others would agree to that but thats just my opinion

[sillygooosemoo]

@sparkers70 its not cause hes black or gay its cause HE FUCKING SUCKS yet again the black and gay community finds YET ANOTHER boo hoo poor me storyc well get over it we have nothing agaisnt all blacks and all gays just agaisnt this fuckin idiot he ruins every fucking song

[sparkers70]

@sillygooosemoo That judging panel has a cumulative 65+ years of experience in the music business. Their reaction to Jacob's rendition of that song speaks volumes, and I'll stick with their opinion over some silly little high school hater on youtube, thankyouverymuch.

[micemei]

@sillygooosemoo hahhahahaha..hahhaha...hahah..­lol..lmao ok so if he sucks so much why would he get a standing ovation from all three judges and a full room of other singers.....awh poor guy he must suck oh wait no you're the one whos so pathetic and jealous and just hateful man see through that jacob is great hes going somehwere unlike you sitting at a computer tryna hate and shit go do something with your life

[Esvalchu]

i can belive that scotty won american idol

[collegeeasternwoo]

HOLY SHIT HE IS AMAZING

[18steps]

drama

[davidcovaacosta87]

1:10 Epic Steven Face! "Wow this kid is amazing"

[Eclectic1970]

There hasn't been a contestant who was totally polished at the A.I. stage of their career; but it's obvious how bias the whole competition is. They rode Jacob like a horse the entire time he was on the show, polished or not he was the best singer this year. I stopped watching the show after the third season I got tired of the popularity over talent style of show it obviously was. I watched a little here on the tube to see Steven Tyler. I can't wait until the show goes off!

[Gergaaf14]

He did very well this song... but he overacts very much every single time...

[brokless]

the song is old boring and shit, Jacob made it hottt

[vunly]

Best performance on idol ever !

[nihonpiano]

am i hearing things or did i hear sum1 say "Be Proud Nigga" at 1:25 LOL

[MichaelMichael23]

@nihonpiano nice one lol!

[TrixtersCovers]

@nihonpiano LMAO!! Jacob*

[tombokickass]

oh my god, who is this guy?!!!! this is amazing

[BamAkaDan23]

What an freaking godlike singer.And even if he looks "gay" or even crys at the end it DONT makes him less human!I would sacrifice all i know for a voice like that!Just fantastic!Its like his voice gets trough my heart!Very emotional =)

[m42dseeyou]

I think that some stupid people don't like Jacob bccause he looks gay, Like a singer he is fantastic

[Qu33nJae09]

i pray tnat God will one day send me a man as blesed and annointed as this wonderful God fearing man right here!!!!

[caramel3081971]

great!!!!

Jacob go for your dream

[wiredmanproductions]

STOP WRITING PARAGRAPHS JUST SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC.

[Aldiggy2000]

0:44 the whistles go WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[brookerZS]

remind me of john coffee from green mile when he cries lol

[CallieAnn111]

@brookerZS Omg yess!!!

[mattsirkin418]

SEFYH, you're coming off as uneducated.. I think, for the benefit of us all, you should really stop commenting on this video. There is nothing your comments can contribute to this thread, so stop commenting. Thanks =)

[xxJeniferxx1]

to neni možný to je zpěvák světa!

[shari4minipigz]

I don't mind what people say about Jacob Lusk, when I saw this on the T.V I smiled to myself and thought 'Finally'. What can I say? I just enjoy him more than today's pop singers.

[nooneveryimportant]

soul itself

[kalabiandarkness]

steve: whoooooooooooooooooow!

Randy: whooooooooooooooooooooow!

LOL

[83Layanda]

You shoulda won!!!!! EXELLENT!!! You had my vote!

[nelsonhmh]

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[megustacantar310]

every time i watch this i cry. so amazing! his voice is incredible!!!

[seker7]

I am shilling for another Version of God Bless the Child - was not done on American Idol

- was in Irvin Mayfield' Jazz Club in New Orleans posted by Casey Abrams (PiercedAbrams) 3 days ago

- Brought down the house - 11 minute's of Pure-fection

The 3 minutes of scatting vocals that answered Irvin's riffs on the Trumpet are something else

........and no is not Casey

[wiredmanproductions]

I see all of these arguments on here, but honestly, at the end of the day, I come and watch this exact video and I feel rejuvenated. This IS the best performance I've ever seen on Idol hands down.

[TechMaven]

@wiredmanproductions Agreed.

[AngelVoicelovesyou]

@Katana309 If I was Jacob i would have said tthe same thing....and he only said that BECAUSE he probably reads the comments people say about him and gets tired of all the hate their showing towradshim, knowing they don't know the inner him. I believe he has a great voice and a wonderful personality....and it's rrediculous of how much people hve to be so mean towards him. I loveee you Jacob qnd i respect you for saying what you had said. <33

[Loveboylove1989]

@katana309 Exactly. Like his "If they don't like me than THEY need to look in the mirror" comment before he sang Man in the Mirror. That was just showing he thinks he's better than everyone. Not his voice, but himself as a person. He's full of himself. Great voice, bad attitude.

[littlechizsecake]

Jacob! God bless your voice !

[mikesalazar45]

I legit get goosebumps whenever i watch this!

[Mixedwitluv]

This was incredible...and I could see that he was feeling it. In all honesty though, he was never as good as he was at this moment. I feel like he did well every week, but nothing like this performance.

[LueXiong10]

Great voice but it was a tad overkill.

[MrViet1993]

Gospel Music?

[retroxkid89]

best performance on this fucking show EVER. i dont care what anyone else says.

[eymaykoll]

La Vozzzz¡¡¡
