John Mayer Free falling (Tom petty cover)

[OoOd4v3OoO]

he sorta looks retarded, i mean, really,is he?

[smiley8592]

i love it. This is wonderful song

[bastlouis]

He's definitely a very talented guy, too bad he's a douche.

just sayin'

[TheLegendOfHolland]

Love this song, and John Mayer's music(al Talent).

The way he covers this beautiful song, originally performed by Tom Petty, and the way he did Human Nature on Michael Jackson's Memorial, is just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

Respect

[ginnylovesmusic]

sometimes a cover song can be an improvement over the original. I like this better than Petty's, and I like Jeff buckley's&Jeffery Hyde Thompson's versions of Hallelujah better than Leonard Cohen's. Nice job, John!

[MusicalRhyme2]

god look at all those girls. he is the man

[03volleyballbabe03]

john mayer is the freakin best! i love this song and the tom petty version, there both hecka good!!! I <3 JOHN MAYER!!!

[smileyface351031]

omg, cause i'm hispanic, one of my dad's friends was singing this song and he's all i'm freeeeeee, friiiiijooooles!

[JuniorProducer1996]

FRIJOOOLES!!!

XD

[screenwitch]

Nice, this is interesting. But again, nothing can touch the Petty original, one of my complete favorites.

[Justalittledead]

I like both of the versions, although Tom Petty's is a classic...

[kittywittybutt]

im sorry but...i personally like the original better.....this is ok....but nothing can top the original....

[webkinzrulefree2know]

i luv the song! except i would switch out his chorus for th origianl

[bmxrulz77]

3:24 thats the note your looking for if you like the original chorus

[baileyarvington7]

i like the original better!

watch stef and gorton!

[musicsmylife34]

luuuv itt : D

both versions.

[metalicrobot66]

I prefer this over tom pettys, such a beautiful song...

[fryzie14]

i like it better :)

[badnewsBH]

Nice version. I don't listen to Mayer normally, but I'm glad I watched this. Like the acoustics together, Mayer sang it well I thought, and their arrangement was easy on the ear. Well done.  :)

[jmacblog]

Of course this cannot touch the original Petty.

[gregory06]

I dont personally care for his music, but he is a great musician . wonderful voice and very talented.

[zengirl9]

I thought this was a good cover. I don't always appreciate having the soundtrack of my life reinterpreted, ( Madonna should have left American Pie alone) but I think John Mayer did a good job with this one!

[moch827]

the summer obsession did a cover of this song also

[OhhEmmGeeItsHayley]

I think he did a good job..

John Mayer is an amazing musician

[jdh2468]

Great song But better when petty does it!

[gamekidillon12]

I don't care for John Mayer, A friend told me to watch this video but his hair is distracting me from anything. 1*

[anykoch]

I love Tom Petty and John's version of Free Fallin' assures me that his music can go on and on long after Tom and the Heartbreakers are gone. Tom regularly plays Gloria as one of the best encores ever. This is a tribute.

[KPPritchett]

john mayor is the man but nobody can touch the original heart breaker!

[shoe59]

agreed on both counts, except it's mayer

[tawnydearrr]

ahh i just love john mayer & this song.

he sings it well.

i think hes better than tom petty

lol

[marcybanks]

great song....I loved the original...This is great as well.

[musicizlife13]

Loveee this song=]. All the ppl who have little comment fights on these do need to get a life. You're supposed to say whether you like it or not and forget about it. Dang.

[cattleforslaughter]

alright fine. I LIKE the song. I HATE John mayer.

[ilikepunti]

you all need to get a life

[michaelamarika]

john mayer looks kinda funny when he sings :P

[wiglyperson223]

heh i know! i love him! xD

[michaelamarika]

i think both versions of this song are really good. they're different but in a good way.

[Demonridesthemoon]

THANK YOU

[harryp757]

fuck you john mayer. tom petty is the best, mayer is a homo.

[kay6262]

in my opinion...john mayer's version it better than tom petty. i love how he sings it.

[papafirelin]

What a shit!!!!!!horrible...this guy really kills a great number...Show a little respect dude!!!!....+

[michaelamarika]

i think thats what hes trying to do...

[Sheldon66]

Yawn! I just don't get it, John Mayer is not good!! He thinks he is, but really isn't. I would go so far as saying if he played a free concert in my hometown I would not go. Just can't stand him....his voice is very whiny

[Tbombeck]

your fucking retarded you obviously know jack shit about vocals or anything why arent u on that stage you dipshit

[Sheldon66]

Hey dickhead!!! Enjoy his whining voice. Oh and I DO know jack about vocals/music, etc. And again I do mean everything I said. Others clearly feel the same, so piss off and quit being rude!!

[wiglyperson223]

awe :] i love when people call people dickheads is so nice :] xD

[thetexasguy]

why did i have to watch a minute of this? I am a little sleep deprived. That could explain it.

[parisromelondon]

you didn't HAVE to watch ANYTHING. you CHOSE to watch it and whether you like or not is not his problem so dont complain about something that was beyond his power.

[millard2222]

i hate john mayer you fuckin suck balls

[schwabbamoose]

I hate you John Mayer. You could be a seriously talented musician, instead you pander to the lowest common denominator: college age females.

[superiorsullivan]

listen to what you just said: i like john mayers work but i dont wanna be considered a fag. DUDE ITS A GUY WHO SINGS FUCKING MUSIC and apperently you watch his videos

[schwabbamoose]

I said that? I like his bluesy guitar, but I really, really hate his songs. Perhaps you should clearly read my comments before hitting 'Reply'

[newress]

John mayer suits all his hair styles, short,long,messy,rugged haha hes very good

[elizabeth0890]

tom petty's free falling is a freakkinn classic..but this is reallllyyyy good.

[funnyvidzzz]

great vid!

[panicafeverprettyodd]

i can honestly say this is better than the original.tom petty wrote it but john mayer made it a hell of a lot nicer to listen to.sorry but thats my opinion.

john is gonna go down in history!

[Bulldogs74840]

nobody can EVER top thomas. don't talk shit about him

[panicafeverprettyodd]

i wasnt talkin shit bout him cos i think the lyrics to this song are amazing and they will always be his own and no one can ever change that but i personally think that john mayers voice is nicer and i just prefer the sound of the song when he sings it.but im not disrespecting tom petty cos he was the one who wrote the song in the first place

[mcrwwefan89]

of course its good but a cover will NEVER surpass its better

[parisromelondon]

omgggg 100% truuueee!!! tom pettys version was really annoying to listen to and i know its a legend and watever but honestly i dont think i could actually listen to his version for music. original or not. john mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyer all the way =D

[guava247]

tool

[parisromelondon]

wow cause that really has to do with his music. bravo you learned a new word today.

[guava247]

fine, you suck for dismissing tom petty like a total bitch. John Mayer is a giant douche who tries so hard to ape jimi hendrix' style and fails. He tries to make himself sound sensitive by breathing hard into the microphone every time he sings, but it just reveals that he's a hack. His songs are unbelievably pretentious, and his most famous one, 'waiting on the world to change', is a call to apathy, which is retarded. So yea, omggg, like, john mayer is rlly annoying and i hope he dies in a hole.

[parisromelondon]

sorry but that was just my opinion and ik thats ur opinion and thats great but i just needed to know why you thought he was a "tool" cause i didnt feel that that was right to just call someone that without a reason behind it. so thanks and im sorry you dont agree.

[gokibuti]

another dave matthew's clone

[omgstevenisamazing]

don't hate on dave. It's not their fault they make badass covers.

[BizzarePeace]

screw u

[mrclean67]

nice guitar part but seems like he is forcing his voice. Sounds like a douchebag.

[DENVERBRONCOS684]

u must be a muslim then

[pumpitupwhat]

john mayor looks like an elf

[DENVERBRONCOS684]

i will kick your ass

[pumpitupwhat]

look at his ears!

[DENVERBRONCOS684]

your fuckin high

[vintagevr100]

hahahahaha that was awesome

[millard2222]

hahah there fucked

[swampfun1415]

I don't hate this cover, but John Mayer will NEVER be able to top Tom Petty. EVER.

[sukiyaki113]

This sounds fine, but I'll never get over the fact that John Mayer is a pretentious fuck.

So I'll never like it.

[arditoj3]

Nice I did this song on my page too!!!

[alliegirl313]

i love this song and this is a great cover

[chickengoodt]

Why dont you guys like tom petty because im just knowing about him?

[ct131]

this is so shitty

[Coacum]

your a pce of shit

[ct131]

mayers a great guitarist but cant sing for shit. stay away from good songs

[lollipoplee]

i luv him =D best song ever!

[katrinamelody]

it annoys me when people say its better then the original. no one can compare to tom petty. sorry.

[ThatOneGuy2323]

annoyed or not its true.. tom petty was and is one hell of a musician, but john mayer is just down right better, more talented.. and his cover of this song is an instant classic

[TNEFF88]

if he has more talent and is better than you say, then why would he have to cover Petty to make a classic?

[ThatOneGuy2323]

its a great song.. he just does it better.. john mayer will go down as a better musician than tom petty when all is said and done is all i'm saying

[Jufc85]

Frayed Knot.

[JayWes133]

are you drunk? LOL

[mculver7]

He may arguably have more talent, but I have yet to see him actually use it on an album. He might possess this incredible talent that everybody is always talking about, but it hasn't translated into any kind of groundbreaking, earth shattering album. His music is pleasant and easy to listen to, however he hasn't made any music that has or will change music as we know it and I doubt we will be talking about him in 30 years.

That being said, this was a good cover.

[zbfe5445]

well, some people will argue that tom petty isnt very good, but if its not their style of music theres no use tryin to convince them, however i hapen to love tom petty! never disliked any of his songs/covers! having said that, this is one hell of a great cover

[lmcguire]

I like it!, rainy like california..., just like how I feel.

[funkafize12]

this is better

[mxblazer]

wow, this version is terrible and makes me want to kill him.

He killed it.

[bamaz1234]

the original is way better

[Sw0rdnemesis]

I honestly think this is better then the original.

[sage96]

as if this song sounds like shyt!!!!

[kayakaya5]

Wow babe, you're very cute and have an amazing voice. Awesome cover, beautiful :)

[ThatOneGuy2323]

she talks like john mayer is just some random amateur you-tuber putting this video up?? lol

[kateexoxo]

THIS VERSION KILLS.

LOVE U JOHN.

[andythegreat1092]

pretty nice

[Caitty24]

this ruined the song i don't like this version its really bad .

[magic12414]

hey i john mayer's other songs but do you really have to mess with a classic and ruin it????

[kweezex3]

i like all versions.

cause i have common sense, and i don't think that just because someone's been in the music industry longer has more talent. i love the jonas brothers. i love john mayer. this is the only song i've heard by tom petty but. i've heard it for like, my whole life cause i've heard my dad listen to it and i've always liked it. the jonas brothers, john mayer, and tom petty. THEY'RE ALL TALENTED. quit bashing people. seriously.

[mariekevandenbos]

I like both versions, Johns is more mellow, and TP's got more power..their both awesome..

[kashelylover]

i love dis song

[muschimusc]

nice,very good job

[TheBeaverEh]

Pleasant, peaceful, and gentle.

[PaxLuna]

John Mayer's treatment of and attitudes about women make him and his singing *completely repulsive* to me.

Arrogance is a real turn off!

[DUP86]

HE SUCKS, TOM PETTY IS WAY BETTER,

[meggiix3]

Obviously Tom Petty is better because it's his original song. No one can be better than him because the way he sang it is the original way to sing it and no one has the exact same voice as he does. But your opinion can be you like Tom Petty's version better.

[JGSurveyor]

this shit suck, and to compare the Jonas brothers to Tom Petty...googleeyes..you have no appreciation for true talent.

[hehegooglyeyes]

i honestly dont like the original tom petty version but i LOVE this version and the jonas brothers version isnt that bad either. lol

[lionman684]

It sucks!!!

[McLovely13]

=(((

[xxbettertogether]

3:36&hearts;

[sosforjonas]

I LOVE JOHN MAYER! :D

he rocked this song. so did jb.

[McLovely13]

<3<3<3

[HyperGirl107]

this is my fav cover of this song :D

[accousticmoert]

socialdboy99.....you´re right absolutely....i like tom petty,but that version ist great! Fuck up any others don´t know....first listen... then think...if you can!

Tom petty is the best but music is free.....falling;-)

[socialdboy99]

Come on people Its a cover song that means you can do it however you want its not suppose to sound like Tom Petty You Dumb asses!!! My God does anyone know anything about music anymore Fuckin Amatuers

[MetaliTool69]

I had to stop that garbage half way through...John mayer is a fag and I cant belive I was actualy curious about his cover....

[nikihusker242]

LOL AT 2:53 - 2:56!!1 he he he he he he

[nikihusker242]

I LIKE TOM PETTY BETTTTTTER!!!!!!

[CaramelnTwinkies]

Ahaha LOLZ AT 2:09

[Finedotwrx]

Good cover but you cant top Petty. The cover would have been better if the chorus wasnt so pussy.

[sisubilly]

Real musicians write their own stuff.

This guy made an absolute fool out of himself.

Terrible.

[xxseanathanxx2005]

Lmao. You are really stupid.

[sisubilly]

Try me.

[4portswitch]

Really? He does write his own stuff... and a lot of stuff at that. Not to mention, I can name plenty of "real" musicians that do a lot of really amazing covers. Hendrix, The Who, the Stones, Clapton. It goes on. Mayer also did a pretty good version of this song... I'm not sure you can justify your claims of it being "terrible."

[timbognot18]

a good musician also respect other musician's crafts

[emilykor65]

I really love this song :$

[Chiwowwow2]

I wish he'd do an official cover.

Without all the screams and whatnot.

[SillyPuttyRox101]

incredible......

[LoKiTaStArT]

the version of Joe Jonas is better than the version of Tom Petty, Tom petty´s sounds is very very borried and Joe is more interesting nad Joe is pretty xD but Tom is borried

[Lianna826]

Wow......I hope you're joking......

[silverladie]

I don't think so...

[LoKiTaStArT]

I like most version of Joe Jonas, but to taste the colors

I love this song =) and this version

[ilovecapoeira123]

Both versions are amazing, i prefer this one, but of course the one from tom petty is still the original. anyway, amazing song, doesnt matter who sings it.

[Beachbabyy16]

im starting to like john mayers verison better then tom pettys which is rare since usually the original is the best haha oh well

[treblemaker24]

hes just so damn sexy

[xxseanathanxx2005]

Amazingly Done.

[SPOT316]

hahahaha good music!? ...this!? hahaha grow up fool hahaha

[SPOT316]

This is disgusting. Great song when Petty sings it but this is a horrible cover, someone kill this asshole.....please

[xxseanathanxx2005]

You just don't have any appreciation for good music. Moron.

[TheTyandMitchProject]

how is it horrible?

[GreenShoeBox]

He actually pulled this off! Nice work :)

[guitarplyr465]

listen to this song stoned..... its the best thing ever!

[lamarian22]

john mayer is an incredible singer and makes this song sound better, most people who cover songs dont sound right but He sounds incredible

[WeirdNorsky]

this is one of me favorite songs =]

[vossy1147]

i still love Toms Petty's though

[vossy1147]

its more relaxing then tom petty's

i love it!

[mcslipknot89]

fuck john mayor, toms version kicks 10x more ass than this... this song didnt need to be covered.. and if ur gonna cover this song do it good

[nice1kid]

who is this 'jerk off '... destroying a classic...!!! this is the kinda shit you might hear in the back round of dawsons 'like' creek...(no offense to your song tom)...!!!

[ScottishFolkMusic]

I LOVE this song and I think this version is much bettr, Mayer's voice is much better and the whole song is jusr better when he sings it^^ This song gives me chills...It's art!!

[PsychdellicShrimp]

hes cute

[621paralegal99]

john should stick to his own songs, some songs are just not meant for others to sing. regardless of his looks and face, it's a tom petty tune!

[bigfatgreek]

95% of artists cover other people songs and sucks at it so quit whinging

[SUGAandSPICE1234]

HE IS HOT

[geligurl]

since i dont really like john mayer, i was thinking his own version of the free falling would be crap. but it actually turned out to be better than i imagined . wow. i am so impressed.

[angiebaee]

i am totally in love with john mayer!

[axeman7000]

Some may like this version but I don't. I don't mind Mayer but nothing like Pettys version.......

[minatourkevincurran]

All the vampires walkin' through the valley

Move west down Ventura Boulevard

And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows

All the good girls are home with broken hearts Fav, love this song

[pickard72]

Well, John Mayer is an excellent guitarist, but Tom Petty's southern vocals are what make this song. a good song...

[JonasGrl34]

And I'm a bad boy cause I don't even miss her

I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

^^^^^

fave lines

[thankyou1122]

Tom Petty has a better chorus, but john mayer has a better voice

[McLovely13]

and boy is John Mayer a cutie

[McLovely13]

this is a beautiful cover

but i still <3 Tom Petty!

[pixiepower1994]

I like his voice better than Tom Petty's voice. The song of course is amazing and I love this song! People always say whoever sings the original version is going to be better but this took guts to do a cover of and he didn't do half bad. Better than most people lol

[replicatemastermind]

he killed free fallinnnnnnnnn

[sinsofchewinggum]

Tom Petty's version is better, but John Mayer's is pretty good.
