  • This was the first James video I saw of him. From then on I was hooked!!

  • one of the few singers today that doesn't need auto tune to sound good

  • HE'S SOUNDS SOOO AWESOME LIVE<3

  • i love the sound of his voice, wish i had a voice like that, is it raspy or husky?

  • great song even better live and in holland wow? love it !

  • love this song it makes me feel so alive, thanks james morrison u make alot of people happy,xxx

  • I'm waiting for your new songs James!

  • He is the best. I've seen many covers of this song but nothing beats the original...

  • Love him. (L)

  • James has changed a lot in the past 4 years. I enjoy these old videos when he seems like such a kid. But I enjoy his more recent videos just as much. He just keeps gettin better n better. Can't wait for a new album, and hopefully a visit here to the U.S. Really need to see him live.

  • wow. A lot of views for my video. Thanks.

  • @guithijs This video introduced me to James Morrison. I first saw it around February of March of 2007. Needless to say I was hooked on his music and I managed to get many of my friends and family hooked as well.

    So, thank you so much for this video : )

  • I'd give ANYTHING for you to call me...

  • great!

  • hes hot:)

  • best song writer in the country

  • Marry me. Have my babies. Please.

  • This is what Robin Thicke SHOULD sound like.

  • there is no voice like this in the whole world

  • @baoam what about TT D'ARBY...?

  • @mokacode i dont know him/her...

  • @baoam terence trent d'arby - sign your name

  • come Hong Kong><!!

  • That could be a record!

  • i love this song... it's one of my favorites...

  • hes soo hot!

  • The only problem with James Morrison is that anyone wants to cover him with the same amazing voice they would need to get whoopign cough and nearly die. james Morrison is just so unique and it is hard to captivate that same voice on someone else.

  • @LeonardosPetMonkey

    AGREE!!! he got freak throat!!!

  • @LeonardosPetMonkey Alex Lambert does a pretty good cover, but i really think James' sings so much better :)

  • Gorgeous voice, gorgeous man!! AND he sings live, none of this miming crap lol

  • he is so cute and that makes the song better!

  • he kinda resembles Adam Sandler...hmmm...

  • Massive fan of this guy, he is bloody amazing live but you can't hear his guitar, like at all.

  • HE IS THE BEST SINGER EVER!!!!

  • @lifeinplasticiscool nope robert plant from the 69-75 era takes the cake ;)

  • See my vid cover off this song

  • he looks sexy when he sings ....nice mouth

  • wow.... this guy is really good live. alot of people suck when they are live in front of people. well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just watched Alex's version, but oh my gosh, how can anyone even compare him to James? His version is so poorly. This guy can't even stand in James's shadow, it was that bad. That don't mean he can't sing, I only watched that one song so I can't judge him all together, I am sure he has talent. But he can in no way be compared to James, James blows him away!

  • The talent was already there but he hadnt the stage presence yet...3 years later and after cut his hair this man has turn into a soul legend...for real, hes so more confident while performing on stage, see this performance and one of 2009 and you will see the diferences, not much on his voice, cause it is even more superb, but the stage presence and confindence has evolved alot...its much better !!

  • I didn't know who James Morrison was, but they kept comparing Alex LAmbert to him. Some similarities. But Alex has such a distinctive voice--shades of early Rod Stewart. Alex's voice is superlative.

  • I didn't know that Dwight Schrute played keyboard

  • @roschwal This Nikolaj Torp is playing keyboard not Dwight Schrute

  • number 1 of the Q Music top 500 from the 90's

  • great words, awsome voice x

  • i like Alex better .Sorry. my two cents from Barbados

  • Alex Lambert sounds just as great as him.. even better-- that says something about that contestant. He had to stay; he deserved to stay.

  • Agreed. I wa just as heartbroken as he was when he left.

  • James Morrison and Alex Lambert are great! James is already very successful and Alex will be too.

  • you know Simon said Alex was uncomfortable but I don't see James Morrison moving all around the stage with personality. It's his voice we are drawn to. The same with Alex.

  • Finally another singer that can actually SING live.

  • I like Alex's version better!! James is a little flat in places and when Alex hits the higher notes he has more control and it doesn't so forced. Plus I love the tone of Alex's voice.

  • Oh no, please don't compare them. XD They are two different talents.

  • Ok WOAH!!! back up...people are way to serious and critical about this. Calling me names for having an opinion. For one I am not tone deaf & have been in choir and plays for years. I am not giving all of the credit to Alex he is not perfect & I know he did not write the song. I only said that he deserves some credit for his performance of it, I like his voice & felt it more than this version of it. I like James I just feel I feel it more with Alex than this performance. My right to think so.

  • very true :P

  • james can sing it better then alex no matter how you compare them

  • alex lamberts sounds way way better than james morrison..even if he is the owner of this song..alex has a beautiful recordable voice..it's only my opinion...

  • I love Alex and James. Please don't compare them.

  • Alex sounds way better.

  • james pwns evrybody whos trying to cover his songs so stfu .

  • sorry but alex sounds much better than james ...and I like james too ...but alex has a better tone of voice....yeap

  • Great song and artist and actually Alex on idol performed it better and with more passion than this performance, but of course I cannot judge them all.

  • @beachbutterfly - Actually you cant see your own head up your dumb ass, Alex was fucking hopeless - are you tone deaf or something IDIOT???????

  • There's no need to talk like that. Everyone has their rights to a opinion. I wouldn't say who is better. Alex is young and has a lot of potential but James has more experience. They are both equally talented so people really need to get over it and stop arguing on youtube.

  • Oh yes oh yes everyone has their right to an opinion ,what i am saying is that not only is it James song but he is an internationally recognised talent. So when did this alex guy get so big that he could be compared to the songs creator? He just got off the bus a minute ago ? Ohhh thats right its in peoples heads, they have become so infatuated with their alex they forgot what time of day it is. There is no need to take offense at harsh language its a generally accepted expression of the french.

  • what are you talking about you could barely hear alex singing, and mrdoublehappy is right he wrote the song, so why are you giving all the credit to alex lambert? alex lambert has a fucking mullet

  • alex is great!!

  • @clarissa1133 and your a fucking idiot too

  • i think alex is good and probaly could of won if he had been on any other season but the girls are good this season and there are guys who are better, and alex has got a stage presence issue but hes still a great singer hes prob still gonna get snatched up by a recording company

  • alex is sooo juicy! he'l gonna win--mark my word!

  • who started this crap this is JAMES MORRISON the creator of the song and you are all comparing him to that Alex Lambert fuk me

  • alex lambert is way better lol.. seriously!!!

  • Im a fan of Andrew's so I want him to win but I'll be honest. I think he is overhyped by us hardcore youtube fans. He voice is pretty dry/flat and lacks range. He makes up for it by over-singing parts and I hope the judges dont get tired of it. I have to give it to Alex Lambert, he did better than Andrew on last two weeks.

  • @idolstar1 dry/flat lacks range? This alex dude can't even hit half the notes Andrew does. Overhyped? overhyped is that casey dude, but either way I'll be bumping Andrews music wether he wins idol or not, and one things for sure he has more talent on his pinky than all of the idol contestants.

  • so good

  • i love this song..ALEX LAMBERT sang it WELL on idol!

  • heck yess!

  • i usually dont like live performances but dis guy pulls them off great

  • I had never heard of this guy until I heard Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Kara Dioguardi and Ellen say how much Alex Lambert sounded like him. I had to Youtube the guy. This guy if FRICKIN' BRILLIANT! I absolutely love his voice. And I do agree with the music critics, Alex sounds like a very young and inexperienced James Morrison. Of course Alex only had about a minute and a half to sing the song, so he wasn't able to show us all that he could do with the high notes, 1ElChapoGuzman3.

  • @mommy2abriyesi Andrew Garcia did a better job than alex on this song...

    watch?v=1Xyg7wDorPs&feature=re­lated

  • Alex Lambert performed this song on this years American Idol and sounds sooooo much like this singer.

  • @ecftube Hahaha I think you're deaf he didn't even hit half the notes James Morrison does.

  • He is very good for someone that is very green. EVER HEARD OF A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH ????

  • Nope Van the man is a northern irish man, James is a bone fide english man of no relation.

    Morrision is a great musicians name:

    Van, Jim and James!!!!

  • A LOT less whiny than James Blunt...

  • Thank you James for this song!

    ....That´s all I can say

  • wow ... cant wait till i see him 2nd feb leeds whoop whoooz

  • "i know he's awesome live, but does anyone else think this is overdubbed for the music track? "

    I was recently in the studio working on an album in Charlotte and I was shocked to see just how much overdubbing is done to live concerts. You wouldn't even be able to tell but they redo vocals and instruments most times and paste them over the video. Its insane. However I am a huge James Morrison fan and this sounds live to me.

  • Noooo,he's not...

  • I don't think this is overdubbed 'cause its not in a concert, this is a tv performance..

    Go James!!!!!

    I feel Wonderful when you sing.

  • Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! Can't wait to see him live in July!!

  • james, your music is so inspirational and beautiful. i hope you do well!

  • Great words -->"I know that it's Wonderful World, I can't feel it right now" . I love his voice, I wish him luck ;)

  • i know he's awesome live, but does anyone else think this is overdubbed for the music track? the vocals are clearly live, but the strings/horns are puzzling - they're intricate enough that you couldn't fake it on the keyboard, unless they're "pre-recorder" and coded into certain keys?

  • I was expecting Jim Morrison singing What a Wonderful World. Oops. Life is full of poppy and overproduced recyclable surprises! A wonderful world indeed!

  • i love him....

    he is brilliant live..

    love this song xxx
