  • /is from New Orleans. :) you're amazing

  • Great job guys.

  • You need to record this song on an album, it is the best I ever heard!!!!!!!

  • you guys really do, do a good job. I love this song everytime I hear an really makes me miss being at home in the NOLA. thanks guys.

  • son,,this is Alex from Louisiana,,a huge fan of LeRouix and "new Orleans Ladies"..very familiar with this song,,and i must say,,my jaw dropped when you started singing this ..(incredible talent and voice)..you guys have got to record this,,and when you do,,i want a copy. fantastic,,your voice beats a thousand other "professionals" out there,,remember to stay the way you are and dont change a thing about your voice...good luck.

  • hope you are gonna make a career of music ' you have pure soul ' but keep it pure and never change for nashville or anyone else

  • it amazes me how people correct the lyrics when you sing it a bit differently. Sometimes to say the lyrics a diff way is a mistake and sometimes it just feels right on the tongue. I never even noticed because i was engrossed in the perfection of your voice. I dont give a damn if the name of the song is correct or the lyrics are correct. lol. You could sing Mary had a little Donkey and I would still be in awe:)

  • my uncle dave peters was actually the drummer in Leroux

  • Thin and brown and downright lazy goes first

    and

    They strut and sway from dusk till dawning

    goes second i don't know if it was purposely if it was sorry just wanted to let you know again sorry if it was purposely that was my mistake

    but you sing good keep up the good work

  • I looked for this song because I when I was younger I loved it, When I heard James sing it, I was very impressed. Your a great artist. Good luck in your career!

  • I've been watching this since 08, before Ellen discovered him, I'm glad, and not surprised at all that He (now) stays booked-up with good singing gigs.

  • Who needs a recording studio when you can just record a YouTube video in James Basement. I can't get over how incredible it sounds!

  • My favorite video by James!! He nails this. I really believe he could make this a hit on todays radio as a re-make.

  • i come back to this song 1000x;'s. Was looking for this song on You Tube 3 years ago and discovered James. You are awesome. Love you.

  • I love anything James does. Keep pressing in James. It is there. You got it.

  • LOVE>>LOVE THIS SONG!!! YOU SING IT PERFECT :)

    Laplace La.

  • i REALLY LIKE IT :O)

  • You sing it well. This song was playing on the night I met the man who has been my husband for 31 years this year. We met 03/19/1980. I am glad you gave Lousiana Leroux their credit. This was song of the Century for New Orleans. It really is a beautiful song. Keep up the work and let us hear what you've written too James.

  • you go cher (sha) lovnlife  you rock

  • Great rendition of one of my favorite songs! I grew up in New Orleans and lived there when this song first came out, and I've never forgotten it. Très bon!

  • AMAZING!

  • I have been a fan of James Dupre for a few months now. Somehow I thought his voice sounded so good because of audio mixing equipment. But I was able to listen to him performing at a Barnes and Noble bookstore in Lafayette, LA, a month ago, and did he ever prove my suspicions wrong. He and his friend Zack had no equipment but a couple of old fashion acoustic guitars and no microphone. His voice was still so pure and perfect. Trust me. No audio equipment needed. Loved it!

  • This song was written for your voice GREAT JOB

  • This makes me tear up every time I listen. The original is awesome, but this...this is brilliant.

  • This is one of my favorite songs. Haven't heard it in years! Great Job!! great voice!!

  • i love your cover of New Orleans ladies, Im not from NOLA, but I do live in Louisiana, and i love this song and you do an amazing cover of it, so i decided to check out your other music after i found myself coming back to your cover of it over and over.... and i must say..im a fan sir!!! keep it up!

  • iF YOU NEED AN INVESTOR.....LET ME KNOW.

  • Looking for a reply here from you.......Have you got a contract? Just wondering because.....Why would you not go on American Idol if you don't have one with anyone? ......YOU WOULD WIN.

  • Take that KATY PERRY!! Good work guys! 

  • Great. You did a superb job of a really great song. Did you shame the original? not by a long shot, but you did the song justice. Good luck dude.

  • Pure vocals! Hell of a voice. You have a gift....but you've heard it before plenty by now. What really comes through is how you make a song your own.

    You are just pure melodious sweetness in the your vocals. Inspirational.

  • I love this kind of music...it's so hard to describe...it's not totally country, just the right amount.

  • I'm a drummer from Columbus, Ga. and me and my fience love music. I knew she liked the song so I shared it with her. I didn't know until just now,...while watching the video again she told me that she sent The Ellen Show an email and sent the vid to her and then I showed her the comments. She just smiled and said "cool".

  • yo man what recoding setup you got goin? sounds great.

  • There's some weird bass sounds coming through throughout the whole song, more noticeably at 0:45-0:50.
