"Gonna Have To Try"

[LOVEEET]

OMG I love Miss California isn't she awesome!!!!

[Dano853]

touching song... seems to be needing a chorus tho... no?

[jmet69]

everyone who agrees that this mans music should be on itunes or at least try out for the next season of american idol please copy and repost the following. " John Raymond Barker is an amazing singer and it is about time he has his big break, Whether it should be itunes or idol Give this man His big break he deserves it." i know you might think it is alot to repost but please repost it it is so worth it.

[JerbyVids]

You are too sweet! But I'm too old for Idol! lol

Vote me onto The Big Gay Sketch Show! That would be cool. :)

[xdjamila]

oh I love this one ! :D

[theogore]

Stunning song. Great chords. Very rough, but compelling. I think my friend might want to cover this. He has your range...

[JerbyVids]

I dunno.

I'm an actor/singer who is trying to make his break in NYC.

[JerbyVids]

Oh no--a mover. I'm not much of a dancer! :)

[michaelsiewert]

Your voice is an amazing instrument!

[Me242008]

very good:D so true too.

[patrickometry]

I sense a personal connection with the lyrics. Yah know, lots of people aren't able to achieve the specifics of the dreams they hold in their mind, especially especially in the performing arts. But don't believe the lie pushed that the failure happens due to lack of commitment. Very very often the problem lies in statistics: too much talent trying for too few gigs. The challenge is to expand your vision of who you are so that you can step onto new paths without regret. Be a bigger container. :)

[JerbyVids]

That's beautifully said. And, I am definitely doing that. Trying to be open to whatever possibilities are meant for me. :)

[johnied8509]

good job dude

[JerbyVids]

[Dengee]

Are you a triple threat... singer, dancer, actor??? and videographer, spokesman,activist and philosopher to boot?

well, more of a mover than a dancer. You are too sweet! Thank you! :)

[JerbyVids]

Thank you!

[ashleymagnet]

Thanks for being so raw and open and honest with your feelings. I wish more people were brave enough to be like that! I know sometimes I am not, but I... try.

[JerbyVids]

Thank you! Stay strong and find inspiration.

[simplydaft]

Excellent!

[AmericanIdolQueen84]

[JerbyVids]

[JerbyVids]

Thank you!

[thursdaysrecords]

Another WINNER! The visual effect at the end is awesome!

[JerbyVids]

Thank you!

[airricksreloaded]

I have to say I love your video.. but the message I get from this video sort of goes against the fact you attached it to another popular video to generate views from the people that enjoy that kind of thing.. I would say that the people that would get this message, enjoy this message would appreciate the video and the images for what it is.. not because they stumbled onto it simply by watching the most viewed videos.. 5 stars anyway, the video is fantastic..

[JerbyVlog]

Just trying to get the work seen by as many different kinds of people as possible. :)

Thank you--I'm very glad you liked this video.

[airricksreloaded]

I can respect that.. :) Have a great week!

[Alissa77]

damn you! how can you just change the video from black and white to color and send chills all over my body?! agh!

you are fantastic. Bravo!! Bravo!!

[Sikosm]

nice! love it :-)

[JerbyVlog]

Thanks!

[pen1810]

Well, it's a long time since I suffered this kind of angst.....

But you could sing the telephone directory and make it sound good.

Thank you so much..Penny xxx

[JerbyVlog]

Thank you!

[JJYazzie73]
