Jesse Keith Whitley Tell Lorrie I Love Her.mov

[niskala71]

LOVE THIS THANKS 

[mimismusic100]

so touching

[Teenywebsta]

He sounds nothing like his dad. Keith was great.Jesse doesn't sound bad, but he's nothing compared to Keith.

[wildblondeangel2000]

She looks hell!!! What is that damn t-shirt she has on? She can't 'dress' , anymore? Her face is all swelled!!! She looks like hell!!! Damn, they could have done better for Keith!!! What happened to her?

[songwriter36]

Keith Whitley was much much much better! If I didn't know this is his son? I'd say he's just another joker! I'm sorry to say, but this is nothing like Keith!!

[62babygrownup]

Noticed Jesse had a beer in his hand??? He may be Keith Whitley's son, BUT he doesn't have the gift like his Dad had.

[sfperkins36]

He's a good singer but he's too drunk here. He can do better. And no it's not like hearing Keith. He did better than this

[dalewilbanks]

Keith was special, a soul singer who sang country music. True singers like that happen maybe once every 50 years. Probably the two greatest singers in my lifetime have been Otis Redding and Keith Whitely. Jesse, live up to the dream, and find 'your' soul. Your Dad was the best, and his music lives forever.

[roxajenkinson]

Lorrie, my apologize for the comment but in truth and in my opinion your son maybe better suited for some other career opportunity. I think I speak for millions of people when I say that we do miss you!! What a voice. Trained and very talented. I wish you would get back out there. Any plans to do that? Jessie if you truly love the industry maybe you could somehow work behind the scene's. No shame in that. Good luck and God speed to you both.

[roxajenkinson]

Lorrie, I realize that you have to stand by your son. I commend you for that. Jessie, it was terrible. I wish there was another platform to tell you this on so that everyone doesn't have to see but there isn't, so here is the truth, like it, or not. Your no good. You have not the talent to sing. I hate that this isn't private. I really do not wish to hurt your feelings. Have you listened to yourself??? I mean really listened. It's bad Jessie. I know talent. You don't have any. Sorry.

[fltwoodmacrox81]

Wow. Can you all not see how INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE this obviously made her? She looks at her son, who has placed her in this awkward position and says "I dont think I can handle this" (you can see her mouth this) - then toasts the audience in a "Well, I'm trapped" kind of sentiment. Great performance Jesse. Sober up bro. You've got the gift, don't waste it you little "hell raiser".

[HisKindofCrazy1]

How is she not crying!?!

[misspetty76]

Sorry but this isn't up to par to the original......this wouldve been best reserved for a private gathering.... He might be very talented but his parents, he ain't!

[TheNicklantz]

now i m gonna give you my opinion and some may not like it but i really dont care jesse i dont think you sound like your dad but that dont mean im saying your not as good as he was im not saying that at all i think your are great and i wouldnt want you to sound like your dad he had a voice in his generation you got the todays singing voice and like i said it exallent i only wish i could sound half as good as you but your the singer im not good job buddy love it

[Jayme969]

That was touching as hell. Not half the singer his mom or dad are/were, but I loved the gesture.

[1southernsun]

Why was she up there?

[1southernsun]

Keith was the shit. Sorry, son doesn't sound anything like him (and shouldn't try - didn't work with Hank Jr), as he needs to create his own identity other than being Keith's son. Go to Nashville on any night and run the clubs, in every bar there is a singer better than this.

[valpal57able]

I was just beginning to enjoy Keith Whitley and then he died. I'm a recovering alcoholic and it was so sad he just couldn't get it. I am noticing Jesse has a beer in his hand and I worry. You sound like your dad,please remember what killed him. Gotta admit it ~you are as hot as your dad and just as talented. One more thing~let us see your eyes,maybe remove the hat,at least for a minute or two!!

[Johnny37406]

You cocky lil fucker that was totally awesome .......... I appreciate it

[gutgetter]

Pathetic. Lori was a whore who ruined keiths life

RIP Keith you were the best.... Lori never deserved him

[amywilson32]

Brought a tear to my eyes..

[MsAngelsrage40]

this brings tears to my eyes....wonderful ! thank you for sharing....

[deborahcooper27]

But you can sure feel the love in this favorite of mine...my ex used to sing it all the time...for you, Tommy...my love-forever.

[capitalismforme]

He didn't inherent any of his parents talent.

[Garyhowdo]

too bad..where's the talent?

[AshleyAnnSongs]

@yspt3 hahahaha That's really mean! He's doing this really sweet thing by dedicating that to his mom and I don't want to laugh, but I kind of agree with you. I bet he's a great guy and a great son, but hmmm not sure about him as a singer. I'm not comparing him to Keith because I don't compare any voice to Kieth's...he's Keith Whitley! In general as a singer, Jesse doesn't grab me.

[MsRosene]

Wow awesome.

[Dragonflyy826]

Wow how special!!!!!!!  Tears flowing now!

[fredtreadway]

Give it up!

[Knott4U]

Music is sung from the heart , I loved this - son singing to his Mother - a song that was written bu his father - super great, where is the heart of people any more ..

[sultanas52]

NICE



[yspt3]

This is the first time I have ever heard him. I hope it's the last.

[CutieCatProductions]

Keep pouring that liquior down boy...

[CutieCatProductions]

Ditto... sober up... There is a Million singers out ther that are better than that. Leave it alone, Leave your mother alone.You have nothing to offer her that could even get close to what she has lived and seen. Good luck and ask your Mother, she will tell you.. IT'S A LONG HARD RIDE.. your riding on coat tails...

[rubbersole79]

Lose the redneck cap, redneck attitude, sober up, and you may just have a shot.

[Pearl3161]

I think she looks uncomfortable and maybe a little embarrassed,well because, the kid is not very talented,sorry folks,look past his name and realize he just not very good. But, as bad as country radio is today,maybe he has a shot,but i doubt it.

[kyletango]

I can't believe that Lorrie is 52 years old. Still hot!

[iowamarine12]

OMG!!! ITS LIKE HEARING KEITH WHITLEY ALL OVER AGAIN I LOVE IT

[JustMeNoOneElse24]

dang people, what does his singing capabilities have to do with their private life. He has an amazing voice, that should be what is talked about here. Not how bad his home life was. He isn't the only person to loose a parent. He is lucky he had an amazing mom, some kids weren't that lucky. so judge his music, not his life.

[ElizabethRock1]

Your dad would be proud that you are seeing over your mom and your dad would be stunned that you are out singing and carrying on the Whitley name.

[speedingthrulife]

very nice! Love it!! Keith looking down from Heaven smiling and Proud!!

[gunther955]

Dont really matter how he sounds . Its the thought behind it . Im sure it was hard as hell for Lori going forward after Keith died . I miss the hell out of Keith , he had a hell of a voice . :(

[savannah15946]

You should have sung it sober.

[LadyRider40]

HE LOOKS LIKE HIS DADDY! SOUNDS LIKE MOMMA AND DADDY :)

[chevymantilldeath]

[NP535overdrive]

[markspike64ms]

Jesse...

Good Lord man....

That performance was not worthy of your Dad and Mom. You can and have done much better.

Watching this video akin to viewing "Country Strong".

[TheMando501]

why dont u assholes leave the kid alone he,s honoring his mom & dad .

[ndenman100]

Aww, Keith is so proud of you Jesse!!

[CUDDLES1948]

LOVE IT

[audreybaltzer]

wow so much like his dad love it

[gunther955]

I want to say something . It honestly tore me up when Keith died . So , i wish the best for Lorrie an Jessie .

[princessofhesse]

actually, to me, he sounds a lot like a young Jerry Jeff Walker, who was always one of my favorites, i like his sound, it's different than the other "cookie cutter" "country" artists now like Brad Paisley and whoever, it's more like older country, real county.

[Theepowerhouse]

She killed the one true Keith Whitley by breaking his damn heart, and now their son is killing his songs. Jesse sounds nothing like his dad not even close to the same class as his dad. Keith sang from the heart, you can hear it in his songs. This is a slap in the face to Keith. GOD rest his soul.

[princessofhesse]

@Theepowerhouse give the young man a chance, i believe he must have had a terrible life without his daddy, and maybe Keith broke Lorrie's heart, too. as a recovering addict myself, i can tell you it's not easy  living with one, and I know Lorrie really had a time with Keith. I loved Keith's music, too, but he had to shoulder some of the sorrow that was brought upon his family.

[patgilligan1]

Great, great, rendition. life is for the living. Lorrie is lucky she has a beautiful son to remind her of him and carry on his name.

[moontheloon1127]

this is a horrible thing to do yo your mom.....he must not know the history behind this song....or the history of his mom and dad....if he did he would never sing this song in her presence..... especially not drunk doing a horrible version

shame on you Jesse

[starr522]

@moontheloon1127 Well said

[bigtopboss]

So nice that he sings his Fathers song to Lorrie. I know it meant a lot to her . But he handed her the very thing that caused his Fathers early death. Jesse sing like your Father but don't try to drink like him. My Dad died from drinking. Now my 32 year old son does the same. I know you love your Mother.Please don't let her loose you the same way she did your father. I live in fear for my Son because he drinks too much and it has hurt his health. Please think about it.

[ICsucks]

It should be like this. Tell Jesse i love him. If i leave this old world tell him he is the only guy for me

[bernicemclay]

I thinks he is doing a great job on this song....I would not be able to sing this song if i were him.....I love Jesse's singing and wish i knew if he had any albums or video's out so i could buy them.....

[lspashia1]

sounds a little drunk to me... he has absolutely no control ... flat.. off pitch.. out of time with the music.. what are you thinkin' jesse keith?

[Tysen37075]

Hell Yea

[billy4417]

great job!!!

[1984Tiffanyk]

I've never been able to listen to this song without crying! That was a beautiful dedication. <3

[17musicluv]

I give him all credit! There's no way I could sing a song by my deceased dad to my mother like that....I wouldnt make it through the 1st verse. Good job Jesse

[tooties1951]

For those of you who think Jesse didn't do such a good job on this song, you probably wouldn't either singing such a heartfelt song from your deceased Dad to your Mom who he loved more than anything. So type in YouTube search..."Don't Close Your Eyes" Jesse Keith Whitley at CMA Fest...and listen to him sing. He has a great voice and also has 2 pair of big shoes to fill. Keep singing Jesse!

[tooties1951]

Very touching song Jesse's Dad wrote a long time ago for Lorrie. I think he was as nervous as she was and that's why his voice wasn't as strong as times. Remember he is still young and maturing as well as his voice his. Keep up the good work Jesse...looking forward to you becoming a great hit!

[ztwentyateu]

Don't forget thats Michael Ray on guitar also!

[wantsomecoffee]

look at beautiful lorrie.

[mama3183]

That was excellent hun..I could listen to your voice all day long!!

Love,D.

[Oliver88rowcrop]

Your dad is proud!

[b4dg1rl69]

OMG he sounds just like his dad in this .. its a great performance.. Jesse Keep all the good music coming its great

[maitreyaisthebeast]

He may be the son of the royal couple, but he's no Keith....sorry guys...

[crazgirl80]

wow,i had chill bumps as i listened, simply an awesome  performance!

[rmo24]

thanks for sharing :) this is awesome :) love your voice!

[TmTrvlr66]

all i could think while i was watching it was--whats going through her mind right now? i mean, just look at her face.

[53TERRYT]

Thanks for sharing!!!!!

[Crowrocker71]

Very touching!

[DieGwinners]

AWESOME ~ 

[ammariepaul]

great job jesse keith, keep your singing buddy

[GuitarSlinginMachine]

When I hear Jesse sing that song, it's as if I am seeing and hearing Keith. Loved the video, enjoyed the beautiful performance, and can't wait to hear what more JKW has yet to offer. He's picking up where Keith left off

[shauniegayle]

this is awesome!!

[rphillips4444]

AWESOME!!

[svein1951]

Hi! Jesse, You did an awesome job singing that song for your Mom.

[suelizza]

Very touching, well done, you did your father proud!

[IWalkAloneGuy]
