jay brannan - "i wish i were someone else entirely"

[midlanddow]

I am a very big fan Jay. I tell all my friends about you and they fall in love with your music, just as I did. I hope that one day I will have the privilege of meeting you! Please come to Michigan!

[jaybrymer]

beautiful sound! shirt or no shirt.

[Naigg]

You have a very beautiful voice....wow...

[naoisemarie]

I'm sitting here in tears because that was so beautiful and you're so talented and I hope you come back and play in Dublin again because I didn't get to see you last time.

[theziggymister]

Uhh if u do Molly Malone u gotta do Finnegans wake.

[pimpharold1]

i wish i could be there with you --------harold

[oropesav]

Well, since you posted this video, you have inspired many people, including myself. I hope everything that was bringing you down has been worked out.

If things had actually been different, I wouldn't have found you. Thank you so much, for everything.

[bilci321]

i just fell inlove.

[darkestmoon69]

I want to love and cuddle you and fall asleep in your arms. -3 your amazing and I'd love to meet you. Goodnight Jay, sweet dreams ;)

[tygreyeyellow]

I am SO GLAD you are not anyone else!

you are yourself and that is so much more than a lot of people can say

<3

[fbdm75]

Why do you always sing naked?

[oropesav]

@fbdm75 shouldn't he do that more?

[Jaqulinee1]

Nice song (:

i wish i was someone else too.

[starfleetvulcan]

"I love you just the way you are"~ Billy Joel

[tomelnes]

Love your voice - love your own songs. Really impressed here in Denmark. (and hey, you're gay and single like me - that's another very good thing ;) )

[88alxb]

@ lele777 he s ok :)) he just want s to suck a dick :))

[lostsurfc0]

:)

[527gurl]

is he in the bathroom

[SuperWho32]

@527gurl What do you think?

[bpyper1]

I love your voice and the fact that you wear your heart on your sleeve and aren't afraid to show the world your emotions. <3

[imNickle]

I think it's humanly impossible to not fall in love with you

[elfflower1989]

I love this song, and the way you sang it. On par to rival with Damien Rice. <3

[TheSlaggard]

To the fellow who signed; money and blood: I live in zone 3 ATL, Jay Brannan makes my day possible, so if I see you in the streets I will personally make sure you can't speak anymore. Thank you Jay.

[vkinna]

@TheSlaggard <3

[sarame91]

OMG. How Gayer can this get. You people are gonna be the FIRST ones in HELL.

Shame on you people.

Step up and be a fucking man.

your a fucking MALE. wow do you gays wanna be girls so bad?.

LMAO thats just very sad and desparate.

Money and Blood

[Goinhuntin13]

@sarame91 I know right! This is ridiculous!

[Audim0n0mer]

why do u always sing naked/ half naked.

Its fucking weird man.

[Goinhuntin13]

You suck. I bet you just cry yourself to sleep every night because you LOVE to feel sorry for yourself. "Oh I'm so messed up, oh I'm so depressed. Do you losers love me yet?" That is what you think to yourself. You are a terrible, artless bastard and you just need to stop singing and stop writing shit songs about your shit life because nobody with any real appreciation for music would like this shit. So now I'm gonna go listen to someone who appreciates their life, who doesn't whine all the time

[CraeZchiC]

@Goinhuntin13

I guarentee...that you have caused somebody's death if you talk to people like that on a regular basis. And if you take beautiful people like Jay from the world and the beautiful music and other amazing talents they have to offer because of that "you are a terrible, artless bastard."

[Goinhuntin13]

@CraeZchiC I love how you assume that I have killed somebody (maybe you mean emotionally, but that is a little cloudy). Now, the boy seems nice, just a little on the "wah wah wah look at me I'm talented" side. Listen, you can like him, and I am not gonna say another bad thing about him, I was just burning to get that out because he really annoys me and the title of this video is really obnoxious. And no, I am not a terrible, artless bastard. I listen to Rachmaninoff <3

[Goinhuntin13]

@CraeZchiC and I do apologize if I hurt your feelings! What I said was quite a bit harsh!!

[lina25]

@Goinhuntin13 hmm, karma will get you.

[Goinhuntin13]

@lina25 I certainly hope so.

[kcdrew69]

I don't get the title. You're young, handsome and extremely talented.

[boogiebongcal]

nice...oh nice SPLASH HIT w/o tha' water ~~!

[PueErToRRiiGaMErr]

U have an amazing voice!! Lol but r u taking a poop?? Haha

[veza101digey]

@PueErToRRiiGaMErr xD He's sitting in the shower ...

[oneofsilence]

You have a great voice and great talent for writing songs... I truly think you should find something that can give you great rewards... I love what you're doing....

[Rachelwearsshoes]

This is the most honest, pure, beautiful thing I have ever heard.

[goodfind2]

You need to get an agent, and get into a recordind studio....yu have a voice that can be a studio's delight! Why not email Ellen Degenerate a song or two?. She is always looking via You -Tube.

[SoyLaJefa]

oh how i love your voice! this is excellent. the most simple video i've seen on youtube and one of the ones i like the most!

[ElementExit]

muss das sein dass er nackt singt?!?!?! oO

[Noskominial]

@ElementExit

Ja so ist er

[beetch100]

@ElementExit

hahha ja ne hab ihc mich auch shcon gefragt haha :D

[jeffreydesousa]

Better acoustics in the shower, you know how it is.

[PrincessP1987]

wow the day you sung this i had the same thing in mind.. this was the exact date that my mother died. October 18, 2007 ...

[AKQJ40]

Nice voice..tunes too.depressing

[catde1965]

you go sweety

[flamingbuddha1972]

You have the voice of an angel!

[THW66]

I love it... so sweet...

[chrisstorm666]

Your voice is like an angel whispering... Amazing my friend.

This message comes from the Isle of Man....

[donnaferrara]

You are so easy to love.

[jayskalu]

Hi! You have an amazing voice! Just noticed u a few days ago...already bought 4 of your songs off iTunes! I love beautifully...one Canadian contestant on so you think you can dance Canada danced to it last week. It was awesome too. Keep singing!

[jymmyrob]

What marvelous A Capella and the shower acoustics ad a wonderful touch.

[englishtealeaf]

You almost made me cry. This is so heartfelt and sad, real and raw. Your voice is absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad I found your videos. Keep on singing!

[jambomax13]

OOOOFT!!!! :O:O hot much?!?!

[nickimeeus]

How great are you?! damn man, I already love you! So pure...

Touched me...

Grtz from Belgium!

[BJUK]

Jay - as ever great and true but I worry about you sometimes. You look tired and sad, I know the sond doesn't help but i still worry a bit! keep well. BJ

[MrRodrigoMeneses]

Non-so-much-famous artists are always the best. You keep true to yourselves. Always. You're not negotiable. Never. I love that. I love that very much. And I love you. :-)

[POOHSMYDUDE1]

That was mind blowing.. very different and vocals were very beautiful and i like how you sang in the tub because that's where i find when my voice vibrates through my whole body and its like a huGe micro phone i cAN WALK INTO LOL

[AnneMusic1993]

You made me cry!

It's beautiful and your voice is amazing! =D

[Iiiiiiixoon]

u make me wanna sing

[XxClairesyxX]

Hey, grew up with this song. So strange hearing it a) sung by an american, and b) with such a different tone and quality. First time I've really listened to the words, nice. Love your other stuff esp. your cover of terranaomis say it's possible! :)

[vannuyz]

Thank you.

[poesbitch]

just get the fuck over yourself! get some clothes and THEN, you know what you ARE beautiful, but fuck that a car crash could end that any day... BE REAL BETCH!

[BarelyScottishGuy]

@poesbitch That's the beauty of life. The fact that nobody can be real because no matter how beautiful you are, death can take it away. Beside the point... no matter how beautiful someone might be... it doesn't change the way life works around them.

Learn to respect others if you want people to respect you, if people don't respect you then at least you know you won't die an asshole.

[jes7alex]

Ohhh you´re an angel please answer me something from my coments please!!! tell me that you´ve hear me!!! = ) I love you so much!!!

[breaunurse21]

most people sing in the shower alone...but I think that is where the best singing happens! Way to go Jay, sing out everywhere you are!

[eternallegend2007]

awww ur so cute. but put some fucking clothes on.

[shuaib519]

Fast Sex il say lmaoo

[Marissacanflyyx]

[deniszamaro]

You are a lullaby in this sleepless night.

[PumpkinJackAndSally]

[jleahg]

in love, absolute love with your voice.

[randomhottea]

hey, you posted this on my birthday :)

[AxelXx]

People like you piss me off. Your fucking thin. Fucking handsome. Thats all you need to be happy.

[CrzyJerry333]

@AxelXx Keep thinking that.. and you will find out it's not true..

[ukmale1982]

just because someone isnt fat or ugly doesnt mean their happy... the outside trully means nothing..... the inside.. the inside

[mashachan3]

you must be as brainwashed as they get

[blackangelemo]

nice voice, and I understand why you shot this video in the bathroom, but I don't understand why are you naked? XD

[sosome57]

Wow. That's a great old song, but I've never heard it sung so beautifully, so touchingly. So talented and so f*cute. Sing to me naked any time!

[KamiHaku]

[Ricoiskudaponie]

Wooww!!

Like this song!

Did you write it by yourself?

Nice work man!

But, try to make a better video!

[DanPat121]

Actually, it's commonly known as "Molly Malone", and it's at least 100 years old, possibly closer to 200. I don't think it's known who wrote it.

[yranac]

I wish the same thing, but for me. I hope you feel better now. I really liked your version of this song.

[strontiumcrypt]

grrrr

[mdnnfnk]

hey 'meteorslave" <---fucking wussy! why don't you stop wasting your PRECIOUS time and listen to music you actually like instead of being ignorant and posting comments about music that you obviously could not appreciate even if you tried.

[chewbecks]

God I love your voice!

[MeganPRoper]

hmm...

[digitalperversion]

Loving it Jay!

[metheshash]

Jay, irrespective of the video you do, I just love your songs. Can you think of doing any concerts in India? Please think about it.

[brimfulofasharay]

or else, you would not have that beautyful voice! :-)

[mysticmagic4760]

I love your voice Jay! You do this song so beautifully

[ElectricPinkHearts]

your voice is so soothing

[MunashisaToFuan]

Ouw.. I really love this song x_x

it's so damn... beautifull and somehow really sad.

I adore your voice jay. Please never stop singing <3

[MailJeevas0212]

=O Clothingless?

My gaydar broke like six videos ago.

But I think it was me who broke it. xDDDD

[barrymore]

The ballads always work best in the crapper. The tile improves the accoustics...lol.

[frank20bava]

sua voz é muito linda...

[designnow51]

if i were you..so would i

[Cigardick]

einsame arme sau. warum hat amerika nur so wenig erfüllung zu bieten...

[sugarplum136]

[zingalom]

I love your voice. I sing too, but I don't have that gentle tone like you do. You're awesome.

[Justin19871130]

It seems things are not going well with you. and you look in a bad mood.

but do always look on the bright side of life. i wish you good luck and hope you can have a nice day.

[SailorPerson]

[princessshortie29]

[martiniisgood]

I hope he has a laptop computer.

[treydurant]

Beautiful...

[osahju914]

[TruthfulPinokio]

[bassino18]

[mosquito1116]

[YourRollinRocks]

I love listening to this song whenever I log onto youtube. You're an amazing singer.

[primohomme]

You are such a beautiful guy

[neeve272]

You should sing this when you play in Dublin XD

[mosesblondie]

one of my favourite songs

[osahju914]

who is the original artist?

[milou66]

wikipedia "molly malone". it will tell you all about it.

[osahju914]

thanks

[Lifecomesfromwithin]

It's an Irish folksong.

[osahju914]

thank you

[Lifecomesfromwithin]

You're welcome! ;p I was looking at your channel just now, and saw your thanks appear there! So I came back here to write this! LOL!

[osahju914]

haha

[skinhugging]

your voice is soothing <3

[Julianatree]

I haven't heard this song since I was little. You have a beautiful voice, I have chill's, reminds me of myself.

[Greenlantern917]

this is powerful and raw human emotion. I'm so glad to have your music in my life and only dream of one day actually meeting you. It would possibly be one of the biggest thrills of my life.

Keep up the amazing work! you inspire people like me and so many others!

[1401JSC]

Naked?

Wishful thinking?

How do you know he's not wearing shorts?

[afilipinay]

Oh, you looked so troubled and sad... stripped and vulnerable. I love your album and am so happy it's on ITunes along with your videos. You look so much better when you smile (ur Housewife video). Keep it up...

A New Fan!

[scrumblednuts]

Why people care about him naked? Wake up, read just a little between the lines. "Naked" can mean "exposed". He's expressing his feelings (= exposes himself) singing naked in the shower (= exposes himself again in one of the most intimate place he could ever be). There's meaning in that, it's not a random choice. I don't think he's using his hotness to impress people.

:)

[linzymack]

i hope you don't wish you were someone else, because you're an inspiration to, not only gay individuals, but to everyone. you're open about who you are through your words and your lyrics without remorse, and no matter what people say or do, they can never take that away from you. your fans overrule the bigots and whoever else, in numbers and in intelligence. btw, you sang that beautifully ; )

[sciopeccavi]

aww...you look sad :( you made me sad watching this

[lewisk8]

I LOVE THIS SONG, OMG THE DUBLINERS SING THIS SONG THE BEST. aww i just peed my pants, cause the heading is i wish i were someone else entirely.

[taylorwashere4]

aww thats soo cute but it made me cry

[princesskaitlyn524]

this was absolutely beautiful. made me cry.

[qaz1992plm]

Why so sad Jay? hope since posting this back in 07 your spirits have lifted, this seemed heartfelt

[Lisserz13]

Beautiful.

[GaleRahl]

*smile*

[Mizutoki808]

haha

so much hate

whatev.

suck it, bitchesss(:

[Cassanova293]

allow me to make a few as well:

1 "beet" is a vegetable

2 you're a douchebag

3 Jay's traveling the world performing and you're watching him sing naked on youtube and bitching about it.... gay gay GAY!

4 you're in the closet

5 "week" is 7 days long --> learn to spell dumbass

6 after I read your comment I bought 2 jay brannan t-shirts to give him some sympathy cash for having to put up with bullshit from assholes like you

7 get some therapy, you'll be a lot less angry once you come out

[CherryTripping]

lmao

thank you

:)

[jumpydum]

Cassonova293,

Your reply to slyjosh13 was BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are a God among men!
