Nightmare Revisited Poor Jack

[allhailfrieza]

The second best cover on here, and second best attempt to sound a character first being Amy Lee singing Sally's Song

[Gregolomaniac]

not bad, but didnt capture the essence of Jack Skellington. 6/10.

[GoldToGarbage]

I LOVE his voice!

[Aut0Tun3DMice]

i actually gotta say Danny Elfman and this cover are tied when it comes to "Poor Jack". each is just so awesomely beautiful! :')

[LivingDeadGirl7108]

i like it. not the best. but i like it :)

[SuperTurtlemandude1]

idk who this is bu he sucks

[SeventhGate008]

Its sung with a sadistic/sad sarcasm which is a cool take on the song i think

[philli5n]

Plain White T's isnt the pumpkin king....Jack Skellington is! :)

[huMusicMonster]

this is very close to the origional. it has the same feeling, it doesn't go crazily of in another direction. i like it :)

[TheGolfinDolphin]

WTF is this?

[Mgrl2709]

I like this voice, but not so much the instruments. Elfman's had both awesome music and voice, so to me his is the superior. I still like this one though.

[MegaOrwell1984]

Wow this is pretty good. I like both version, and with covers I only like them if they loyal to the original or better than the original.

[calebcop]

Not bad not bad. It just doesn't click quite as well as the Jack version.

[15smitha117]

Ok, I was a bit harsh I confess. Every singer has a voice of his own. I was too critical.

[ragusto]

maybe acceptable if jack skellington was a homo

[VampireSeduction89]

idk, i dont think there'e enough emotion in his voice for this song, this was a very important song! theres not enough feeling.

[Yaminia1]

I love this song ecpessialy revisited

[UzumakiDeathbyBlood]

I officially like the Plain White T's. This is the first song by them I've ever heard.

[LambertFan27]

Very good

[gummibearkiddz]

i like this version, not as much as Danny Elfman's, but i still liked it.

[xyuukie364]

I love this. I think he really captures the emotion.

[15smitha117]

His voice cracked ):-( (0:3)

This is bullshit, the whole track! This band sucks ass, and Danny Elfman would

kick this losers ass in a run in.

[richa78595]

@15smitha117 -.- woooooooooooow just because you do not like this song does not mean this band sucks.

[2002tiif]

@15smitha117 parhaps,I like Elfman but would he REALLY do that?!

[15smitha117]

Alright, I was being too protective of the original version. I was bein an ass

[2002tiif]

@15smitha117 OH! Okay then.

[Midnaization]

Flyleaf and PWT swapping covers would've been a good idea... but I still think this capture's Jack's emotion and tone very well. :D

[99blacknwhite]

I think what Flyleaf tried to do is make it almost hypnotizing, as in when Jack sees all these new and exiting things he is just memorized by everything that he saw... But that wasn't what happened in the movie, so I agree, it should have been way more upbeat and energetic.

[ThePumpkin1313]

@ 2:17 it sounds like it when he says uh oh in the vidio game thumbs up if you noticed this

[TheAbsity]

This is one of the "Revisited" tracks that I actually somewhat enjoyed. I think what's really making me enjoy this album are the instrumental backgrounds, and not the actual voices.

[LastRider2006]

I liked this, a bit too close to the original for a true cover, but given how many of these songs went way off target I'll take it

[Zagchan]

What are you guys talking about.This song is about how much he messed up it is supposed to be depressing.

[123klokke]

@Zagchan agree



[Sedraen]

Well, this kills the song a little less than that cover of Jack's Lament. Still kills the song a little.

[ericaohmg95]

You guys may complain about this song, but think about it. Flyleaf effing jacked up What's This? Fall Out Boy did What's This? much better. This isn't that bad, guys.

[schlibbles3]

ewww dude. This kills the song. It's supposed to have a deep emotion of self loathing. ugh.

[12Mizu]

No emotion :(

[akiraa1996]

I think this sounds awesome. And it's supposed to sound depressing by what I know. XD

[dragoness305]

@XxXAvriLavigneFanXxX wow what an intelligent response I'm a little surprised you could even understand the words in the song to enjoy it. Your mommy helped you with the big ones didn't she. Aww that's so precious <3

[56AlexanderLong]

wow; i was surprised at how well they covered this. thumbs up. my all time favorite movie

[ScreamxxNobuko]

I actually really like this cover. (: Specially when he sings "That reads 'Here lies poor old Jack'! "

[NevanDraconis]

the frist 10 sec was good but the rest is weak so very weak

[punkXroxXprincess81]

this is a good version atleast they didnt fuck up bad like flyleaf did flyleaf fuck up

[TheEndKing]

This guy's ok, but he doesn't hit that amount of emotion, that Danny did.

[eviedream]

My gods...Im reading through this mockery of a comments area. It's like a freaking battlefield! Look, they did a cover of the song. Opinions vary. Get a grip. Personally, I prefer the origonal, but i'm not going to get shirty about it and make a scene.

Gods, get a life, and move on. you don't like it? Fine. Go away.

Christ...

[PrincessCallie35]

I personally think the Plain White T's were a good choice for this songs,plus the lead singer sounds like his is kinda enjoying it in the spoken word parts IDK that is what I think.

[monsterpudge]

@bloodjaeg691 your a weird dude

[InSaNiAc1000]

this is amazing so well done plain white T's really did bring out the sad and depressed side fo jack really well but they bring the bit when he realize's what's happened even better it's so good fucking prime

[mutzuz]

if i sang this song i would make it sound like im about to go insane. i dont hear any of it in this version

[mastergaara117]

they should've left this song alone, all the other song's that were revisited turned out badass though.

[84icecream]

im just so happy with the bands they chose, its a perfect mix, but ya..maybe the songs should hav been switched a bit..but i mean, at least they did this

[Pamandab]

*One word, AWSOME!!<33

[dragoness305]

these singers should be ashamed of themselves turning jacks mourning into something upbeat

[AnimeAliceG]

i actually like this =D

[Midwaygirl77]

Its alright but nobody can recreate Danny Elfmans voice.

[Garnet107]

Well, I think this version is pretty good **

[GreyHazel911]

The original is, of course, much better, but I really like this version too... I think that in some parts, such as the deep notes, the lead singer got it perfectly. I like both versions.

[mebitch1203]

wow...30 ppl mised the like button

[no1caresanymore]

I liked the flyleaf cover and I like this one. But I agree that they should've switched the songs for between both bands. Just to see what it would sound like by them.. Ya know?

[thedarkravenlords]

I think it sounds fine :) but Flyleaf shouldn't had done "What's this" they messed up that song too much

[Edensreject]

the singing has no strength or confidence behind it, the notes waver unsurely - and doesn't really express the song properly - this might have its own merits but it does no justice to the original

[apzqrh7864]

The way they sing it makes it sounds sad but for some werid reason I love sad songs for soem odd reason ????But it sounds realy good

[ThePowerOfAwsome]

....it's good in some parts but nothing can compare to the original in my opinion

[Dalxien]

Not as good as the original, obviously. But it still isn't terrible. :3

[nosfuractu]

I'd like to see you sing like this... But the original is better in my opinion.

[thebandmaster009]

i liked part 2:00

[lafona29]

' the fuck is this shit??????????? why the hell is this guy butchering this song,an why the fuck was this released on a cd by walt disney. i didnt know they were in the business of bitch slapping classics

[jakyboy72]

The last half of this song is waaaay better then the first.

[invaderpink]

originals best this isnt ..that...horrible... but im sure right now somewhere danny elfmans spine shivers and he dosnt know whyyyy...

[blackjellybeans8]

lol, i can imagine danny elfman cringing in his mind. XD despite whatever he said to the public. XD

[eregansu]

Personally, I like this version...

[ambiorix000]

What...lol there's no reason to comment this vid so bad...

Well,...What the heck he just tasted something Swell! : ') good luck

[Soulskymadness]

this's sh*t...=( the original's the best.... i think

[TheDeathBunnie]

I clicked out of curiosity. Now I wish I hadn't. Travesty, crime, what is seen cannot be unsawded, goggles do nothing, etc. What the hell is this garbage? Blech. I could have gone my whole life without knowing this existed.

[14skellington]

their high voices make the whole song sound gay

the entire movie was wrecked, i'm sure in anyone who bought it's opinion, by this entire cd and I never even bought it

this is ridiculous, first all american rejects and then this

[ShiroHichigo]

if you think these top bands make a mochery of yer favorite nightmare songs, why not just do your own cover and post it on youtube and rub it in their faces that you did a better job? What's that? You don't have the ability o.O THEN STFU : D

[GrapeVine921]

i agree with you, but dont you think it would be really fun to make your own versions!? i might try that sometime

[cloud4an]

@ShiroHichigo how about these "top bands" get off their lazy asses and make their own songs?

[ShiroHichigo]

@cloud4an How about these Top Bands DON'T get off their lazy asses as they were asked to cover specific songs NOT the other way around?

[cloud4an]

@ShiroHichigo how about I STFU and do my research before posting a comment?!

[Ichigobleachzangetsu]

You should be more respectful. You may not like this version, but that doesn't mean that nobody does. Things don't have to be bent just so they can be perfect for you to listen to. Heck, there's thousands of things out there that I'm sure you'd hate. But like I said, some people like this version of the song. Is there really any harm in this version. Besides, if the original song writer/singer was actually upset, they'd probably have complained by now. But they haven't.

[Akimare34]

Such a good song, the only two that I hated were one of Sally's songs, not Sally's song but the other one that's...nevermind...and the Oogie Boogle Song, they totally RUINED it!D: It was destroyed and they took out all the words, and that song was the whole reason I wanted this CD, I was so dissappointed, but I would agree that several versions could have been better by other covers that I've heard of them. Namely What's This.

[Akimare34]

Jack's Obsession was the song I was thinking of. Sorry. Also an epic fail song. another was the Town Hall Meeting song.

[ShiroHichigo]

@Akimare34 Their was a few songs that I remember being covered with words in them, I couldn't remember what they were cos it was on a ripped cd my bruv' gave me, I rememebr a cover of Oogie's song aswell as their was jack and sally and oogie singing " this is Halloween "

[Akimare34]

That sounds amazing:D

[GrapeVine921]

ive never heard those before they sound cool

[GrapeVine921]

@Akimare34 i only agree with the fact that they shouldve kept the words in oogies boogies song.

[Akimare34]

*nods* they should have indeed.

[hellodearbo]

i love panic at the disco's this is halloween & fall out boy's what's this? they should of been on the albulm, so much better than some of the songs on here - jack's obsession was awful Dx

[andresgurl99]

I like this song! its pretty kool! so is Sally's song. i kinda wanna sing that for my skool's talent show.

[uchihaitachi34]

the um non vocal songs on this songs were all pretty good the only lyriced ones that were worth while was This Is Halloween, Kidnapp the Sandy Claws and Sally's song were good ... Jack's Obsession is the EPIC FAIL of the entire album.

[anarchy0807]

kidnap sandy claws

whats this

sally's song

this is halloween

[TheBraveKitten]

I love this song! Both versions are great.

[AkanemaruNayuchi]

this whole record kinda failed except for 'waht's this?" and 'sally's song"

[Liquidshrapnel]

true most of them failed but kidnap the sandy claws and this is halloween kicked ass

[SeraphimFenrir]

kidnap the sandy claws is pretty good too

[NeverxEndingxAgony]

ha! not even Korn's Kidnap the Sandy Claws had to have been the best and also marilyn manson's this is halloween was great as well.

[redpacman13]

what about kidnap the sandy calws!?

[AndyCavazos1231]

He ruined another song great

[sh4d0w1224]

doesnt even try to show emotion in his voice. its need to be sadder

[jenna92407]

who sings this song?

[VampiressSilecene]

hmmmm... well, it's not COMPLETELY awlful.... it's just... not up to expectations. I like the original better. They definately could have gotton someone better to cover this song.

[crimsonknight93]

I actually really like this version.

[jkid1134]

Bass is great in this song!

But you guys are right, Flyleaf and Plain White T's should have switched, although I think this way we can get a whole new look on "What's This?" along with "Poor Jack."

[gerardjunky]

ur so right, plain white t's could have done the cheery what's this, and flyleaf could have done the depresssing poor jack. but its not that bad

[freakyfreak669]

All I have to say is wow. Not wow as in a good thing, or a bad thing. But I did notice that he was trying to act through his singing. Which he sucked at. I do agree that these guys and Flyleaf should've switched, but no use griping about it. This is what we got.

[xBeatlesxRingoxStarr]

i dont like this one either....its a shame all american rejects and plain white t's ruined the album....

[RoCkonorShUtup]

i think flyleaf should of did this song and plain white ts should of did flyleaf's

[BreadHeads72]

plain white t's are really upbeat and would have done what's this so well! and flyleaf would have totally captured the sadness of jack :(

so.....i totally agree with you!

[crikePlague]

at 1:29 i always switch heck with hell in my head. it sounds so much better

[ChickenLittleprod]

I know right? It sound much beter

[unknsaint]

I think Jason Mraz or someone else. But this is still a good song. Even though What's this and Kindnap Sandy Klaws were better.

[umekokatsuragi]

It's plain white t's lol

[juno0890]

i really dont like the way flyleaf did that song... I mean its supposed to be really up beat and full of bliss and joy... but they totally made it depressing... which isnt what its supposed to be... unlike what KORN did when they totally owned and brough out the dark and synysterness in that song haha

[gerardjunky]

and marilyn manson's version of this is halloween was awesome, they totaly grasped the 'halloween' aspect of it ^.^

[Hidan13579]

@juno0890 depressing songs are the best for the depressed and isnt almost all people depressed sometimes?

[twigirl49]

@juno0890 i disagree i think flyleaf did a good job , well of course i think everything they do is awesome but you get the point.

[chloelovesHBK]

@juno0890 Korn ARE sinister, I'm sure they did it without trying!

[xoxoKMAxoxo]

@juno0890 i kinda liked how flyleaf could completely change the mood in it, i mean that takes some skills to do

[foxgirl90120]

@juno0890 I agree on both points you made

[PrincessJinx100]

@juno0890 I thought KORN brought the scarcasticness of the song, and I LOVED it!!!!

[RegiRevelry]

His vocals are decent for this piece, but his acting is really sub-par. He sounds like he's just trying to mimic the movie version and not really pour his heart into the words. And being a musician, it disappoints me he can't do that here- as a musicians passion is to put their soul into the songs they perform.

[bnicecjcoles]

I really like this song! I liked Plain White T's before this, but I had no idea this was by them before. A great song! =D

[sypher5000]

too enthusiastic at someparts and not enough at others, kind of ruined it

[TheLongingSH]

I really hate Plain White T's, but this is one of my favorites on Revisited

[katieMANIAC]

Off of the whole Nightmare Revisited CD I like this one the most.

[demoncornstalk]

i love this song, though it was kinda messed up here, i think Voltaire shouldve sang this

[shadowedripples]

luv dis

[xlovelessx1]

they kinda butchered this song

[Resort2Restless]

Explain? It sounds fine.

[hippocrit1234]

who did do this? I kind of like it. :)

[LORCANLOVER]

plain white tees

[bnicecjcoles]

Plain White T's =)

[ChartheRebelChild]

Lol..I love this version of the song..but..Nothing can ever..EVVVVERRR beat the original Nightmare before christmas.

[KeikoKameko]

who is this? they should not have done this!

[MoonlightSkelet0n]

....not much emotion

[lookupandjump]

Tom is really good at sounding like jack =P

[slipknotcupcakes]

..eew the plain white tees suck, but i like this song

[shadixfox]

I love how he really captured the emotion of the song! ^^ 5/5

[WOLFFDEPPSPONGEBOB]

Whoa!

 Tom's a really good actor! I'm in love with his version! 'kay, Amy's my fave Sally, Tom's my fave Jack (in this album, because I love Cathrine O'hara and Danny Elfman)

[JasperJoyride]

I'm suprised Tom could hit that note. :0

[naama535]

i love jack

maryy meee <<<<<3

[sakurainthe6thgrade]

Lol i kno rite!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!dreamakyeyn­ess!

[vigilantsentinel]

i dont like plain white ts but they redeem themselves near the end of this song... though im sure someone couldve improved on this song

[ForTeamEdward]

Dude, Tom Higgenson really sounds kind of like Jack in some of these parts! Favorited this and rated it 5 stars!

[brendonkd]

ive been told this is either plain white t's or all american rejects..... which is it?

[kitty42662]

plain white t's

[neojake135]

Plain White tees. All american Rejects did jack's lament

[avionexile]

This one is Plain White T's, and the All American Rejects do Jack's Lament.

[masterskellington93]

best song on the album i think. plus i think he sounds almost exactly like jack its actually kindof scary

[calvinball1]

The only good songs on this album are the Manson and KoRn efforts

[calvinball1]

oh, and the Rise Against song is pretty good as well

[19SniperWolf94]

Hmm, i like it.

[hollycoolio]

it isw so a fail

[EMOGOTH1808]

this sucks balls they ruined this song! AHHHHHHHHH!

[Johnnythat1dude]

you suck balls.

[EMOGOTH1808]

wow how original.

[Johnnythat1dude]

very original

[EMOGOTH1808]

how the hell did i know you where going to say that

[Johnnythat1dude]

You can predict the future...and actually get it right! Your using the power of being emo and goth at the same time.

[Facekiller96]

EPIC FAIL!!!!!

[MooglePlushie]

yay this is done well too ^^

[datboineil16]

Who sings this?

[WaitingxForxDeath]

freaking Plain White Tees lmao i've seen them in concert haha

[mcrfreak4life93]

That laugh could be more evil...xD But his voice kinda fits Jack.

[Deathsye]

Yeah Jacks voice wasn't really too scary. It sounded a bit nasal.

[OblivionKnight457]

what have I...done

[Kor7em]

Gosh that laugh sounds forced :s
