Jacks Lament (Nightmare Revisited)

[bryanzellar]

Instruments are good and then I hear something kinda like a cat or an annoying bird, oh wait those are the vocals. i was looking forward to this song but alas this band really let me down. However it was a good attempt at something unique it just sounded too emo and whiny. I mean Jack was a skeleton and he never sounded this emo. Nice job I just prefer the original voice for Jack over this guy, this time. Like I said, I liked the instruments. Can Scream! *meow* where's the fear? lol

People tha a.a.r are amazing and so is this song i think id rather this version on the movie >:[ imma true supporter + fan

[dragonslayah]

it would be all right, if this was the only version.

but when the original is so good, this is just terrible.

[LizzFizz95]

I like the All American Rejects, but this song is really not for them. I don't like it, the voice just doesn't fit the Pumpkin King at all.. At least the verses..

[LilDemon147]

ok i like it in a weird way but i do think he sounds WAY too prissy to be the pumpkin king

[Enforcer8WF]

they shouldnt be doing a cover of this song they suck at this voice

[14skellington]

these people are HORRIBLE at singing this wonderful song.

they can't even sing! it's bad enough they're using high-pitched voices to sing a song that was sung by Jack's deep voice, but they can't sing, which makes this crap sound even worse by whole. they are going to ruin the song and it's my favorite in the whole movie

no wonder they're called the all-american rejects

[xxxcaitlinxxx100]

@14skellington Well if u dont like it dont listen go see an old man in concert instead of the AMAZIN a.a.r >:[

[AerotheVampire]

sounds fine to me ve been watching nightmare before christmas since i was in diapers lol

[Vydenn]

he doesnt have the deep voice for this song...

[TakeAGuessIfYouCan]

@Vydenn i agree. the deep booming voice of Jack made it so ominous.

[fourbangerstangs]

well I think its great

[NightmareWitchCarol]

I like it, it´s not bad.

[phaymuslyexplicit]

they just need to more artists like korn and marilyn manson...none of this fall out boy and AAR shit

[axelasdf]

I agree, the original voice was much better. I like AAR singing other things, but not this.

[ThiSideUProductions]

@axelasdf originals are always better. It's a cover for a reason.

[axelasdf]

@ThiSideUProductions

I don't know, I really do like the spin Manson and Korn did on this album, but you do have to like the sound in the first place.

[14skellington]

@phaymuslyexplicit

exactly!!!

[DamarisKalen]

This version is just annoying if you ask me. I think it's the singers voice - it's too high and whiny to do justice to the original. >.>

[kChik1997]

It's okay... i don't dislike it, but i definitely like the original better. It shows jack's longing for something new a lot more.

[FrenziedFlame]

*Lament

[Xxpwnge223]

oopsie

[Brand8on8]

thats a punk voice for the pumpkin king more of a pumkin kid

[asianraggs]

If you've ever sang along with the original songs, then you're no different from the artists covering them.

they just happened to be somewhat talented and recorded 'em.

[lollipop8D]

Lamint? Mmm, minty xD

I really dislike these Nightmare covers... nothing against these artists... but the covers ruin the songs!!

[ca1cifer]

I wouldn't say that they ruined the songs but I was highly disappointed. I expected something better out of just about all of the artists.

[jarjar761]

i like the new songs better instead of the other ones these r what we rly want

[monicam0]

i like it!

[ThexOriginal]

It's ruined now!!

:'(

All Bitch Ass Rejects.

SUCK DICK!!!!

[animegirl677]

I cringed when hearing this remake. They really killed the song

[Smiffins]

it takes a truly awful band to butcher a song as good as jack's lament. All american rejects truly have ruined this amazing song

[projectdax]

shut the f@$k up u son of a itch

[oblivion420]

tottaly he is not the best at what he does inless that being a douch

[2menandalongsword]

he ruins the soung... lol

[oblivion420]

yery i will now proseed to kill myself (joke)

[fangking100]

you got that right

[butMydesign]

Was he trying to be terrible??? He sounds drunk or as if he's mocking someone. I'll stick with Dany Elfman.

[alynatotheleft]

how could you hate this song?! this song is my fav of all time as of now! but i guess we all like diff music...or i like good music and all your music taste buds SUCK MONKEY BALLS!!!!!!

[oblivion420]

piss off

[saria11121]

It's not horrible...try not to get outraged. But I still don't like it; the original's always best.

[bamlvr01]

@saria11121 yeah i liek it but you can't beat the origianl...hes trying to hard to be creepy or not trying at all lol

[SolitaryMan6150]

Could've been better but not bad at all

[jw4band]

I think it is kinda good

[EmpresssSpiral]

Crappiest cover.

EVER.

[EmpresssSpiral]

....

You spelled "lament" wrong....

[HaisuLove]

This is like a good kick in the nuts...

but for your ears...

[jumboshrimps1109]

lmao

[Tirunideth]

*shudder* Worst...cover...ever. It makes me want to claw my ears off, but I think I shall just turn the music off. What was Tim Burton thinking? *shakes head sadly*

[DemonMewMew]

hey i dun mind u dissin the cover but the original is hella good!!!!! Tim Burton is a guienus to even create Nightmare Before Christmas so keep the insults off him!!!!Jack is awesume!!!!=3

[Tirunideth]

Hella good? I do not know that term.

My apologies for giving the impression I dislike Tim Burton, Nightmare is my all-time favourite movie of his, it is, to put it mildly, bloody brilliant, I also think he is genius. However, my comment was towards his choice of the COVER band, not the actual song or movie. Hope this clears matters for you.

[EmoHippiefreak]

excuse me, a lot of people think this cover is amazing... so any negative comments will NOT be appreciated... thanks... =]

[Tirunideth]

Yes, you can tell by the glowing reviews other people have left about it on this YouTube page. :S

*shrugs* Each to their own, it doesn't bother me if others like it.

However, any infringing on my rights to express what I think will NOT be appreciated....thanks.... ;)

[fizzlewinks]

Ow...like nails on a chalk board...

[fansfromcroatia]

holy shit.

ouch.

danny elfman's version is waaaay better

[Ephrils]

Lamint = Lament

[AARlvr5]

ummm... lament is spelled wrong in the title. just telling u

[poetress98648]

i love AAR too but he sounds almost monotone.

[backspace517]

You know to tell the truth...I'm disappointed with the whole album, save a few songs. I think a lot of the artists definitely messed up the songs. MM, Korn, Amy Lee, Plain White T's, Shiny Toy Guns are really the only good ones. Cept, maybe I'm still on the fence about the Devotchka...

[xXPunkXx0xXEmoXx]

Yea Nice Point.

I Was Kinda

Dissapointed In

AAR's Version

[wolfie1121]

rise against did good too.

[OliveMusic10]

you know. i love AAR and i LOVE the Nightmare before christmas too. But in some ways i love this, in others i don't.

he needs to portray a little more sad sounding.

[Kysentha]

Oh dear...when I listened to the sample, I was hoping that the rest of the song would be better, but I'm afraid not...the singer sounds like a spoiled, ailed brat. It doesn't do the original song ANY justice.

[hpswtrke42]

as much as i like the american rejects- his voice sounds a little too whiney in this one, and doesnt do well for the amazing song

[poetress98648]

its lament. not lamint. just fyi

[saiquebec]

sorry my bad!

[SazleBazle]

Heh, spearmint or peppermint flavor? If it's Jackmint, then it'll probably taste like marrow.

[backspace517]

I was going to say this. Lol.
