You are fantastic person, and i'm proud of every accomplishment you've made and in the future you'll make... I still to this day will state that your cover of the song zombie by the cranberries is one of the best vocal performances i've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Keep it up, because now you know anything is possible.
Your a great guy and you have a great voice. All of your songs are true to the way life is and they touch where no other artists dare to go and so you deserve to feel happy for being amazing at what you do. I speak for myself and hope that everyone can agree that if it were my decision you would be more than famous because well your music is amazing, and you deserve to know it.
Jay keep up the great work. Your video about wanting to be a housewife was the 1st I ever saw of yours. I love that song. It also gave me hope for the future. That was a long time ago I saw it. I'm now married to my man and I'm a househusband..lol Your music is spectacular! Keep up the great work.
i just want to say thank you for your gift. i was lucky enough to travel to columbus oh to see you from cincinnati and i would love to see you again. you inspire me and touch me on so many levels. i would love to make you my infamous guacomole lol
Hey Jay, seriously your music is great. I just heard a song from you for the first time last week and bought two of your CDs on Itunes almost instantly. I know this video is wicked old but its sweet.
omg, your soo sweet!And don't worry, you were inspirational here!VERY!Please don't ever stop making music. I just discovered you, and I'm like totally in love with you!
Jesus... you are just amazing, man! I just discovered you after watching a movie called "Strapped". Man, I am speechless... I just can´t stop hearing you over Youtube over and over again, one song after another, and I got tell you that: you are awsome, not to mention hot as hell! Keep on a good job Mr. Please don´t stop anysoon.
I am a brazilian man, and I have to say that: if you were here, I will NEVER miss any of your presentations. Thank God for you been out there, and for the Internet.
u r the coolest person ive seen n u dnt hav 2 explain anything 2 any1 bcuz your voice is invincible and u r awesome dnt let any1 tel u that you cnt do anything jus tel them 2 fuck off n get a life so u jus do u luv u
Jay you're awesme! i listen to all your music every week here!! im so jealous of ur voice haha :) you're an amazin person! dnt let anyone put you down! stay strong and keep makin music!!! you got lots of fans!!! we got yo bak! hahaha :P
Jay, I feel like you're the same as me, but with musical talent, and any artist that makes people feel like that is a great artist. It seems like there aren't that many artists left who sing with real emotion, and can evoke the same emotion in their listeners, so you just keep being who you are and doing what you do and you'll be fine. There will always be haters, whether you're famous or not, whether you're gay or not, but we'll be with you all the way. <3
uh, bub, there is NO MISSPEAKING when it comes from the heart. You re a natural leader and voice. Do not shrink from your magnificence... you're old school fearless.
I don't think you're awkward. I'm proud of you (but I don't matter much.). I think you're awesome and deserve to revel in yourself and your publications
You are great! You made me cry. But that's what I love seeing. A true artist should be emotional when something that great happens. I just wish I had known about you years ago. But better late than never.
You are so beautiful and awesome, in a sense (Please don't get mad at me saying this-but here it is) you are in a sense, the "gay" James Taylor of our times, and your music can and does touch not thousands but millions of hearts and souls.
Your timing couldn't be better, because some gay teen out there maybe thinking of taking his or her life, will stop and in awe, say, Wow! He Gets it! We love you and you do have fans and I can't wait to see you on Ellen, sometime soon!

Hi Jay, I have no words to express what you make me feel, just tears falling from my sad eyes coming my soul. But be sure that i love these tears because you have opened my soul so many years closed in a dark space. Apart from that, I DISCOVERED YOU on SHORTBUS....AMAZING FILM AND YOUR ROLL IS JUST SO SWEET. Please keep on being as you are, we are in a world full of darkness, pain, suffering....but people like you make it easear and brings a light of goodness, true senses, natural feelings,
Wow just seeing this for the first time and i have been a fan for a while now. i hope your still this humble and real. i have taken you to heart. thanks for the heartfelt music and sharing your soul and art.
youre such a nice person and i wish i had friends like you that are ok to bare what theyre feeling and not bottle it up. and if you cant make it in the music industry it will just show that it is all fucked up and someone like you should stay out of it cause it would just taint your talent just kee doing what youre doing and the world will love you for it :)
you are amazing. you are so mature, so classic and timeless that i am not surprised at all by your success. there will be much more to come, and i hope very much that you keep your talent raw and real like you have. it is a breath of fresh air for the industry of music, and one that we can all learn from. i hope to one day meet you, and i want you to know that you inspire me with every song and every guitar chord played ingrains itself in my body. amazing work, and please keep it up. congrats.

Oh Jay, you made me cry along with you. I see this video was made three years ago before you made your cds. I met you Sat. night in Miami in that little humble record store where you were performing. My uncle loves your music and I saw why. I will be a lifelong fan! I also see your upcoming London show is SOLD OUT! YAY!! So many people love you and I'm one of them. Stay sweet. much love, margie ^_^
you can write babe... n sing.. n play... YES boy u had me crying right along w you honey. u r going to make it....someone who has the right connections is going to discover u. i have a few friends in show business. im going to forward these videos to them n hope they send them along. did u teach Youself to play? i wish i had the commitment to that. i always wanted to play but never had the discipline. u r beautiful inwardly as outwardly. what a beautiful inspiration.
This guy seems really honest and down to earth. I have only listened to a few of his songs but have loved them all. Keep doing what your doing man cos its fantastic. Thanks
I don’t know why you’re not a celebrity and why you don’t have an album. But if you did have an album I’d certainly buy it. I think that anybody who is exposed to your work would want to buy it. Furthermore anybody who is in a position to work with you and help you and does not is an asshole. Honestly I just kinda stumbled on your video on accident but I love it. Have you tried communicating with Ellen? that’s probably not an easy thing to do but I understand she has her own record company now.
you are so adorable, i love your housewife song. your voice is so clear and so emotional, and i just feel so much when you sing, i am glad you are making your dreams come true, that is amazing! i wish i was as brave as you..:)
I had faith in you all along.....After I saw Shortbus, I went on YouTube to listen to you...
3 years later, you're doing great. You've sold loads of music, been all over the world and guess what ? Everybody loves you..Even more...'I'm SO looking forward to seeing you at Sweat Records in Miami on Sept. 11th ! You are still the same sweet guy we fell in love with when you posted your first video. Keep it up, Jay. All the best ! Chuck.

Jay! Don't you DARE downplay your video being on television. That's a huge accomplishment and you have every right to be excited about it. The industry may not be interested in helping you, but you don't need them. You are reaching plenty of people on your own. Your music may not be a big deal in the sense of the world, but its a big deal in the sense of your fans' world. You're music is so inspirational, so moving, and so touching. Give yourself the credit you deserve, we do.

Jay, I just found your music, and honestly you're completely unwarranted in your fear of having people jump down your throat! You have an awesome talent. you're obviously inspiring thousands. You're awesome! I love your style, your personality, and your honesty. It's refreshing. :D Keep playing, we'll keep listening!
I love how your not like Yea I write music I'm the shit you should be lucky. Your like really bashful about the whole thing. Your amazing. The way your put your heart and soul into you music. You have a passion and there needs to be more singers like you.
well I almost cried too. this is such an intimate video, it felt like I was there in the room with you, in the middle of it I even realized I was nodding my head and smiling sympathetically. :) I love you
I thought I'd throw my two cents in. It seems we both found what we love and what we're good at. It always seems that the thing that's the most impossible to us, is what we're good at. When people told you that you could do this I'm sure you thought..."You've got to be kidding! You're totally out of your mind!". Hehehe. I did too and look at me today. 5 Books published and 1 in print with more on the way...all in 7 months! Tears are good..I know! Good Luck!
I just want to let you know that you do have an effect on people. I went to a camp for glbt youth and a girl sang your song half-boyfriend because of the meaning of the song and the effect you have on people. You have the ability to inspire people. Do not think you dont have an impact. Keep fighting for what you want becasue people will see you. You are being heard. So I just wanted to say thank you. Just for having a voice and the courage to be heard thank you.

You have an amazing talent. The more I hear you the more I want to. I play nothing but your music on my mp3 player anymore. I have never been a fan of anyone before. You are awesome Jay Brannan!
You are an amazing person Jay! you're music and your beautiful voice, great lyrics and amazing message need to be spread everywhere because they mean soo much to me and many many other people! and i really love you for that! thank you for your music!!
this made me smile :) not like a teeth smile, but a thoughtful sort of smile. It's crazy how many Jay Brannan songs I can relate to this week. Unfortunately, it's the sad ones. But I love them anyway... *sigh*
P.S. Jay, I love your smile. It is adorable :). Also I love when people smile when they sing (which you do. yay!)

You're AMAZING Jay! I have a computer but I don't have internet access at my apartment... every time I go somewhere that does, though, I look you up on youtube. Your songs make my day!
Suga Lump, Please .. You do now! Good to see you're past all this and I along with many other love what you do! I don't want to be a "Housewife" and I know we "Can't have it all" but I will not fault those who do! Much Luv!
Too bad ive seen this video now like three years later. Im sure you look back at this video and see how kind of down you were at the time however I bet you drew strenght from this and are doing much better now. I love the music, the voice and everything you do..youre so beauitful ive never seen nor heard anyone sing from the heart so much. You inspire a lot of poeple Jay. And its true..if you can do it anyone can too.
I found your music, via a blog and I fell in love...your so real, so passionate...your songs and your music inspire me and I cant get them out of my head...I am constantly turning my Itunes and Ipod to your songs...I cant stop...I hope you never do, your amazing - singer and person, though I dont know you - your songs are truely heartfelt! Thank you!
Jay, you are so fucking awesome, dude!! What a sweetheart you are!! Wish I had a friend like you cuz you're so real!! Keep on being yourself and don't give a damn about the turds that walk this planet with us. Just follow the light (positive people SHINE) and life will be all right. Stay real!
thank you for sharing this with us. I'm really happy to hear you that now you have confidence on yourself. you're gonna be great and sucsessfull. please, don't ever again doubt of your talent and potential as an artist.
It was so incredible to see how humble you are to having such an amazing talent. You are truly blessed and I'm glad that you found that gift within yourself to share with others. I know that your music has definitely touched my heart and I could relate so much to your words. There is no need to apologize for eloquence, what you were saying was real and heartfelt and I'm glad you shared that vulnerability. Look forward to hearing more songs from you and seein you again in concert!!
I hope you have someone in your life to share your successes and failures, your sweetness and talents. I know these uploads are nearly three years old, but I don't see anything newer and don't know where you are now. You were great in Shortbus! Chins up, sweetcheeks!
This is Freya from Taiwan. I was tired of pop and wanted to find some original music and you came along! I listened to several of your songs, finding it a pure enjoyment. I even learned singing your"At First Sight" ^^ You're also one beautiful being. It's lucky to know you. You lift up my heart! Thank you. 我很喜歡你,你的音樂很棒!
Dude seriously your music is amazing and so powerful. I bought all your songs for my ipod. I tell people all the time that you're amazing. You're awsome Jay.
I just stumbled upon Jay's music, and, wow, it's very powerful, but it's also from the heart, making it even more so. I love the way he bares his heart with so much sincerity. I've learned in my 60 years, that such people are indeed a rarity. I hope like hell, Jay, that you keep doin' what you're doin'; there is no way I could ever believe that you won't make it. Your personality, sincereness, and talent make you an incredible young man. Bravo, my friend, bravo!
You're songs are really good! to put it simply. Hopefully you will be rewarded with a happy life, but please just keep making the wonderful music, and PLEASE come play Boston again sometime. Just keep being you, "It is better to write for yourself and to have no audience than to write for an audience and have no self"
dude....u need to be more confident & believe in urself. i mean...who cares if ppl. judge u or don't think that ur "all that"...that's THEIR problem, not urs.
I have just been introduced to your music, and all I can say is WOW!
I can see that your sincerity translates directly to your songs, and it is also wonderful to know that there are people out there that will change the lives of those who listen with their hearts.
Just a quick note from Costa Rica to thank you for lighting up my day and hopefully you will continue to shed more of that light in the future.
I had just discovered your music this week, and i really love it. I'm french so sorry if my vocabulaire isn't good. But the point is that I really apreciate sincerity in your songs and in this video. thnk you so much.
Wow, Thank you so much Jay! that was the most sincere thing ever. Everything is possible, yes. Now because of you I believe that. Thanks a lot. Wish you luck for your career :)
Oh Jay...how could ANYONE ever attack you? specially after this...You must know what you've done IS A BIG DEAL. You must know the impact your music has on us, the importance of having someone out there who we can relate to and feel represented by. And it's not casting a weight upon you, it's celebrating the fact you exist and are out there sharing your gift with us and making us feel like we deserve our space, like we belong, like our feelings are acknowledged as legitimate.
I've kept up with you for several years now, and i've loved you from the first second i heard your voice. I really hope you'r coming to Norway soon, on tour! If you do, I promise you that i will bring all my friends and we will stand on the front row.
Believe in yourself Jay, your voice is beautiful and breathtaking.
Watching this vid from 2007,...... things are so different now......Jay is one hell of a guy and has worked so hard to write, sing ,tour ,act.... he is the ultimate "make it happen" guy and I think he's fantastic !
Just counting up the views in the two columns on the right of this page, NOT including the remainder of the '90' (about 70 more listings) I get a rough tally of 1,701,773 views. AND-GET THIS, This doesn't count the listing that alone is 1,400,000+++++views. And to think some person(s) want to discredit this talented young man. Geez, is nothing sacred? Just stay yourself Jay, DON"T CHANGE FOR ANYONE, unless you WANT to. Thank you. Brian
Talent is a gift. Not everyone can write songs, especially as good as the songs you write. Reach for the stars and grab the brightest one and find your spot in the light. You deserve to shine!
Very powerful. My friend just made me aware of you, because you're performing in Hamburg this weekend, and we happen to be there, so I think we'll come see you. Your music is right up there with Rufus Wainwright's (of whom we are big fans). I have only listened to a few songs so far - but they're great.
Jay, i was turned on to your music by a friend of mine, and the link to one of your videos sat in my email for a couple weeks before i finally listened to it. I think you have an amazing talent, your voice is so relaxing and beautiful, you could probably sing the ABC's and it would be beautiful, so keep doing what you do honey, because you have an amazing god-given talent that is meant to be shared with the world!!! :D
oh jay, you are amazing, ive had exactly the same problem with my music, so many critics telling me that im shit i got to a point where i didnt want to write anymore and it even affected the way i played guitar but you inspire me to keep trying, you have given me hope and i dont wanna sound corny but im gonna say it anyway cornyness and all cuz i havent seen anyone say it yet, i love you jay, and you are already famous to those who have heard your beautiful music thankyou so much u give me hope
Jay, i first found you in shortbus and that movie just... it was alive. I showed that movie to everyone i know, it was awkward at first because of what it's about but they all LOVED it. then i found you on youtube and wow. you. are. amazing.
You're always going to have critics and assholes after you but you have a huge fan base to back you up.
wow very inspiring. and now maybe soon i too will get my miracles to better my life. im so ready for it all to happen and im trying to feel worthy of it all.. thats the hard part .....Thank you ....Jennie
You need to hold on to this feeling and it will help you to stay true to yourself as well as help you acheive what you want to acheive out of life. Keep up the good work Jay!
Hello Jay. Each humans, who are active in the public can also are troubled. I have an artist name and live very much hidden. I particularly love your music and the song Denmark! I look forward to Hamburg. I wish you much luck and love friends!
i love your music, and your spirit, and everything that you put out to share with us is a treasure.

youre such a nice person and i wish i had friends like you that are ok to bare what theyre feeling and not bottle it up. and if you cant make it in the music industry it will just show that it is all fucked up and someone like you should stay out of it cause it would just taint your talent just kee doing what youre doing and the world will love you for it :)

Oh Jay, you made me cry along with you. I see this video was made three years ago before you made your cds. I met you Sat. night in Miami in that little humble record store where you were performing. My uncle loves your music and I saw why. I will be a lifelong fan! I also see your upcoming London show is SOLD OUT! YAY!! So many people love you and I'm one of them. Stay sweet. much love, margie ^_^

I don’t know why you’re not a celebrity and why you don’t have an album. But if you did have an album I’d certainly buy it. I think that anybody who is exposed to your work would want to buy it. Furthermore anybody who is in a position to work with you and help you and does not is an asshole. Honestly I just kinda stumbled on your video on accident but I love it. Have you tried communicating with Ellen? that’s probably not an easy thing to do but I understand she has her own record company now.

Hi Jay,
I thought I'd throw my two cents in. It seems we both found what we love and what we're good at. It always seems that the thing that's the most impossible to us, is what we're good at. When people told you that you could do this I'm sure you thought..."You've got to be kidding! You're totally out of your mind!". Hehehe. I did too and look at me today. 5 Books published and 1 in print with more on the way...all in 7 months! Tears are good..I know! Good Luck!
