Owl City Performs "Deer in the Headlights"

[LiamDude511]

If only I could see them live...

[mikeokubo]

He sits in front of his macbook too much.

[pottergirl287]

15 people have never seen Owl City live. Nor do they know true happiness.

[utopiainwonderland]

I don't get why no one is jumping around. IF I WERE THERE I'D BE SO EXCITED I PROBABLY FAINTED AFTER HE PERFORMED!

[chinnypie]

who's the girl??

[OnedayUwillseeMUAH]

Love him!! My sis said he was boring live ( yeah i was offended! ) but someone please say shes wrong!! One of the people he went on tour w/said it. Still in love with him:)

[TheDragonOfKai]

@OnedayUwillseeMUAH SHE'S WRONG! I went to a concert and had tons of fun. I loved his awkward dancing and just having fun while he was performing. You can't help but love him. Some people just don't have the imagination to go to Adam's concerts.

[JonLoverLajoie]

Good live singer... He is really ugly tho...

[xXOwlCityismylifeXx]

EF AGJIFEUJHIFSAHJIKADSHJ FVKIDSADHJF SDK FN

I HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPLAIN MY LOVE FOR HIM. <3

[tristananvilcaster2]

This is an amazing live concert :)

[gamegirl579]

THOSE DREAMY EEYYEESSS!!!!!!

[SuicideSilenceeee]

he reminds me of tom Delonge of blink 182/angels and airwaves in this performance, is it just me?

[murlough23]

I'm pretty sure if he was gay, the women in the song wouldn't be pepper-spraying him and beating him up.

[VegaChristo]

Owl City and Angels and Airwaves should tour together .

[TheDarknessburns]

@VegaChristo YES!!

[daniel1010861]

i love adam young . stop being ugly please - he is amazing and he is not gay . and even if he was - it doesn't change anything. adam is an amazing artist who respects women. if you call him gay because of that.........you don't have any self-respect.

[michaelnkristy12]

Just because someone sings about something else other than getting women drunk and bangin' them doesn't mean they're freakin' gay!

[KKOPPI]

It is so funny how the crowd goes like mad during the announcement of the song and turns dead during the whole performance...typical Jimmy Kimmel crowd.

[JoeyOMusic]

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." The world is so full of perverted people that they find it strange when they run across a true gentleman of reputable character and think that there is something wrong with him. Turn the mirror around.

[loveheadpig]

Adam is so HOTT!!! haha i like his voice!! amazing!

[butterknucklez]

there can be gay christians you know

but this doenst even have anything to do with the video at all

[MeAndMrQuix]

He is a lyrical genius.

[omgitssai3]

the crowd is sooo boring

[welsamz]

@omgitssai3 uhh yeah.... maybe because they don't know the song?

[CameronDude]

HE LOOK ITS ME AT 2:05 (the only one going crazy cause everyone else was just there cause it was a free show)

[tobgay182]

i'm sure adam young copied tom delonge's way of singing..

[jonreidcookingTV]

@tobgay182 nah adam can sing live lol

[MusicEditingCat]

OH MY GOD HE SHAVED.

b'aaaaaaaaaaaaw Adam you're so cute <3333333

[adamtylermiller]

Thumbs up for LESS autotune on Adam's voice! You got good pipes without that garbage, man.

[cwcaudio]

download this song in my channel \m/

[nutmegg24]

my god i love adam. x333

[WendyBeveridge1]

He is not gay, just uncoordinated. I dont go dancing with my husband anymore because he looks similar when hes getting into it. Tried to help him once and he just ended up looking like he had to use the restroom. News flash Most striaght white guys can't dance. It's the ones that can you need to be worried about.

[Daniandpaulie]

@WendyBeveridge1 He has also got Aspergers syndrome which also makes him un-coordinated. also this condition gives him his complex words. Aspergers can make people look a bit clumsy.

[HawkFire124]

I love you Adam<3 :]

[essay383]

He sings fine. I think he mentioned that he didn't plan to be a singer and wanted to higher someone to sing his songs, but couldn't find one in time so he had to do it. I'm glad he did :) He's done brilliant!

[SuperArnaud2]

hes definitely improved from singing fireflies live

[MsPercyLover]

Why is he so amazing?! I love Adam young he is such an inspiring person!

[fashionismylife88]

I love everything about you. That's all. <3

[RhiK67]

OrbitaIMask nobody asked you, he may not be able to hold the notes as long as in his recordings but that doesn't mean he can't. He still has a lovely voice and puts on a great show.

[OrbitalMask]

owl city are a really good band ... but adam young can't sing live !

[ValkyrieOwnz]

@OrbitalMask he can, he just sounds crap in videos, he sounds much better when you actually got to see him:)

[OrbitalMask]

@ValkyrieOwnz

Really ? that's good to hear ...

[linyuan123]

Epic stage fright

[iBetherz]

Is it just me who thinks he ALWAYS weres those shoes xD hehe no biggie though.. and to say hes gay hes actually singing the song about girl?

[UchihaBroman]

Well, I guess I was wrong about thinking he would suck live, I saw him yesterday and he was so beast! It sounded 100 times better then this, I imagine he was either sick or really nervous, either way don't be fooled, hear him live and he actually sounds wicked!

[tallulah1121]

I LOVE Adam soooooososo much!<3

[Atlhea268]

honestly, he's not that great live, is he?

[katelynisawes0me]

@Atlhea268 i was recently at his concert and he was AMAZING :) way better than this.

[Atlhea268]

@katelynisawes0me yeah i watched a few more videos of him live, and he was waaay better. guess he was just nervous?

[katelynisawes0me]

@Atlhea268 yeah im definitely thinking he was just nervous :)

[cake10]

@Atlhea268 I like how he sings this song song live

[Greenie369]

I would kill to be in this dude's backing band.

[UchihaBroman]

I really love Adam and his work, but ehh sorry, if that's what I have to look forward to in a few hours, I'm not impressed, why does he sound so out of tune?

[xofuzzybluelights]

He sounds like he was really nervous, because I've watched videos of him live at his concerts and he's exactly on pitch.

But for his first time on national television, he was amazing. -3 I'm so proud, he's come so far.

[133taylorswift]

Damn, Adam why can't there be more men like you in the world?

[ijelliott]

omfgomfgomfgomfg im obssesed with adam young :| beyond obsessed actually.. ahah! cannot wait to see him in september <3 im currently speaking to someone from the bbc to get me a backstage pass so i can meet the most amazing man in the world... <3

[JBspunkangel3]

i was there live :). the crowd sucks lol

[StephanieluvsJB]

I was there, front row!! He put on an AWESOME show!! :)

[IWearAHood]

I love Owl City as much as the next person, but I can't be the only one that thinks Adam has a terrible voice when live? His voice is fantastic on record, but my God he has an awful voice. Anybody else think so, or is it just me?

[abovethuniverse]

@IWearAHood how could he have a awful voice live,it doesn't sound bad at all,where did you get that from? I think your the only one that thinks that way

[GunsOfMusic]

...I personally thought that was...bad singing...like...really :/

He's an amazing musician..his voice sounds good on his songs...

But..I mean, i dont wanna be rude or anything (though i kind am being)

Not the best singer -_-

[officialmcgorgeous]

@GunsOfMusic The reason it sounds bad is because Adam uses a Vocal Corrector called "Melodyne" its like AutoTune but its more smooth on recordings vs live.

[abovethuniverse]

@GunsOfMusic why put out the opinion,his voice is it's own and its at it's best live.

[alexandergaskarth]

he's a good musician, his imagination is wide

[Waahoup]

I LOVE YOU!

[SC0RP10N63]

Not only is he a Christian but every other day he tweets about how much he loves Taylor Swift... not her music. He wrote a song for her!

[UchihaBroman]

@SC0RP10N63 he didn't write her a song, he covered her song Enchanted

[CryingCheese]

"It's suffocating to say..." Im modeling my look after him now ONLY because I want to be just.like.him! Talented and fun! Adam Young, one day you WILL be my best frand!!!

[jgballerjg]

stop talking about his sexual orientation when he is CHRISTIAN! you people are so prejudice towards him.

[abovethuniverse]

@jgballerjg people try to ruin everything these days

[gev10able]

Mr. Adam Randal Young is a genuine guy without even proving that he is. Not like them other guys out there who will do everything just to prove their gender. Build up muscles, kiss their girlfriends on public, get tattoos all over their bodies... sheesh! guys like these are gays! gays! gays!

Mr. Adam Young is a decent man. Writing optimistic songs, being cute, and having only few girlfriends doesn't make one a gay...

Pretentious fags are!

[abovethuniverse]

@gev10able agreed,very well said

[IvanRiseAgainst]

Adam Young makes the most beautiful music and whether you are male or female; if you listen to his music it doesn't make you gay or anything. Music is music; its suppose to make you feel good. (:

[BlackWidowGamer7]

@IvanRiseAgainst There's just something wrong with a person who doesn't respect an actual happy, upbeat song.

[IvanRiseAgainst]

@BlackWidowGamer7 Totally agree with you. (:

[TotallyVic]

I can't wait to see him in concert next friday.. So excited!!!

[CryingCheese]

@TotallyVic He's super fun and exciting. I saw him in Kansas City the 11th of this month. It took close to 2 hours JUST for sound check, but of course as all us OWL CITY fans would agree, the wait was worth it! You wont be disappointed I promise :)

[toloveafrog]

@jedimasterkt29 so true

[jedimasterkt29]

Wow, an amazing artist is considered gay because he respects women. What is this world coming to?

[jonreidcookingTV]

@jedimasterkt29 he's christian so he cant be gay im considered gay cuz im the same. some people need to learn the REAL meaning of the word

[jedimasterkt29]

@jonreidcookingTV Yeah, I seriously doubt he would be gay because he's Christian and he writes about women all the time. But even so, respecting women shouldn't be considered gay.

[KKOPPI]

@jedimasterkt29

so true

[pottergirl287]

I see him live on Saturday!!!!!!! ^_^ Homestate concerts are the best for bands!

[jonjonjonmw3]

This dude sounds so geeky, lol.

[bridgetcatherinemuse]

his sexual orientation shouldn't matter. he is one of the most talent musician of our decade, not only does he sing,record,mix,produce and write all of his songs but plays all the instruments on his records so lay off. Just because he's not masochistic like Lil Wayne, talking about degrading women, drugs, and drinking and his lyrics help create something much more classy & I respect him more for it as should you.

[cerysdcat]

so good in toronto on june 21!!! come back to t.o. soon!

[bruhXurie]

I feel so proud of him, omg. And I just love his clothes! Hope you make even more success, adam. You deserve it so bad!

[SceneKidsWetheBed]

awww he missed a line after you'd be blind in both eyes "with your sunglasses on cause youre a deer in the headlights"

[penmumble]

Guys, what the heck. Get over it. What's wrong with being gay? Adam Lambert is. Soo? Guys, this is 2011. Move on with the world. I think the world has bigger problems, right?

[rieily527]

The first part of the song sounds like the Alvin and the Chipmunks theme song.

[redtowlie9]

12 people are jealous that they couldnt see him live <3

[Xezatt]

he sounds different, so different than his recorded songs

[GuitarHero2790]

@Xezatt

That's because this is live lol ;)

[oOAlexIsEpicOo]

OKAY, is it just me. Or is he not actually playing that guitar? his fingers dont move the whole time?... I still love owl city though! :)

[northernaudi0]

Aaarrgghhh!!! HATE people who pretend to play synth. As a synth player it is an absolute INSULT!

[supahfly55]

Here ARE the SONG deer in the headlights by owl city?

nice grammer jimmy

[bjackiiee94]

I was there awesome time:)

[Waahoup]

OMG!!!!

[makedamnunderground]

i was just thinking what happened to them and now i know, strange

[MrMixer108]

You're all a bunch of homophobes. Some people really need to grow up, he's not gay, and even if he was, who cares? his music is what matters and it's awesome!

[MartinMikjaer]

@MrMixer108 What is wrong with being gay?, Are you implying that all gays respects women? Or the exact opposite?. Because that is WRONG!

[playcookchill]

its tom delonge!

[bdandalbff]

Adam you're lovely and a joy to watch! So proud of you!!! :)

[bradyhsm]

My cousins husband is touring with them

[SkyeFyreStorm]

Adam you are so awesome!!!!! Keep on keepin on!

[CrystalFaith100]

ADAM YOUNG I LOVE YOU! You are amazingly talented and a wonderful person. Thanks for being who you are, without you the world would never be so bright and beautiful. Keep up the amazing work, you really are enchanting.

Oh, and to the haters... GET A LIFE.

[MrStephenwylde]

@2:05 I love how your not sure if the guy's excited about seeing Owl City or just standing next to those girls lol

[clearsword54]

@MrStephenwylde I was excited for standing next to my girlfriend, owl city was ok too... lol

[kara366]

This sounds mediocre at best. To each his own I guess.

[MurderInBoston]

I was a HUGE Owl City fan back in '08. Saw em twice....once in Baltimore and once in VA. I gotta say....when he put out this song I was pretty disappointed.  As much as I WANT to love Owl City..it's hard to when Adam puts out stuff like this. This may be a bad comparison but it's like when Chris Carrabba decided to make Dashboard Confessional an actual "band". I understand Owl City has blown up in the last couple of years so it might seem appropriate to add members but I say keep it simple.

[SPARTANsui]

@MurderInBoston If you were a HUGE Owl City fan, there's no reason you still shouldn't be. You need to listen to the whole ATBAB album. If you liked Ocean Eyes, I don't see why you wouldn't like this album. Unless you only like Of June & Maybe I'm Dreaming, and none of his newer music. I'm still a huge fan, since 2008 also. Been to one show, seeing him in 9 days again. Listen to Angels, Kamikaze, & Yacht Club. Those are 3 great songs off the album. Also Alligator Sky (no rap) is classic OC.

[MurderInBoston]

@SPARTANsui Yeah....i'll have to check out the rest of the newest CD. This song just kinda through me off. Alligator Sky was ok but for some reason it didn't move me like Of June & Maybe I'm Dreaming did. I still rock those CD's today and sing as loud as I can in my car.

[GreanDragin]

@MurderInBoston I love Dashboard and I have to agree with you. After the album A Mark, A Brand, A Mission, A Scar they changed a lot, I still like them don't get me wrong but their style changed very drastically.

[TLuvBug7]

@MurderInBoston i saw him in Baltimore too!!!! I sawhim this year @ pier 6

[MurderInBoston]

@TLuvBug7 I loooooved seeing him live. It was in a small venue in Vienna, VA the first time I saw him. GOOSEBUMPS.

[mithnufc]

Fuck you all who said Adam is feminine. They all shd be Kamikazed!

[FearCanDriveStick]

I find it funny how some people are saying he is gay when he is one of those few guys who does not wear skin tight jeans which tend to take away all manhood.

[xOMGxItsxAllie]

LOVE<3! i recorded this on my tv and was like having a heartattack nbd. I'M DEFINITELY AN OWL CITIZEN :)

[dempseyroll90]

Awesome!! I can see myself. Go owl city!!!

[1234Tereezy]

Awesome, I found myself :) Owl city amazinggg live.

[henryxrawr]

I have listened to you (Adam) since your first album...and I love all of your music. <3

[mareviamusic]

@absbia

He's not feminine at all. That's the thing masculinity doesn't have to look all serious and tough. Men can be positive and joyful.

[SpringSkies]

Adam, I have always loved you. :) ♥

♪ Tell me again was it love at first sight? When I walked by and you caught my eye? ♫

[absbia777]

Just because he's a little feminine doesn't mean he's gay. Lay off the guy.

[augustrunsred]

@absbia777 A lot feminine you mean...

[keyblades2]

@absbia777 He's also a Christian :D

[RRikkaiblog]

@absbia777 Not to mention he admits that his songs are somewhat "sassy". Yeah, that's the word he uses folks. So really, chill already! Stop hatin. Admit it, you wouldn't be on this video right now if you weren't even a little bit interested in him...

[jialer25]

Oo==... So the original song is autotuned~...

[BawstonBrat1957]

@jialer25 Everything is autotuned nowadays or people lip sync it in live shows.. And this isn't that bad. I'd like to see you do better ;X

[JoyMac]

love it love it love it!

[sammy8a]

Love Owl City!!

[FetissiJuselius]

Give Pat Benatar her riff back

[piccolamermaid90]

Adam you are so beautiful <3 <3 <3 FANTASTIC!! *-*

[xJustNele]

@piccolamermaid90 A-G-R-E-E

[yusniarhater123]

ADAMMM!!!! <3

[lhoward12]

adam. :)

[IXSH0CKW4VEIX]

gay

[VeraVettelVergne]

@MoreTails you are. If u don't like him,don't watch!!!

[DanielDo08]

@MoreTails Dude, he isn't gay. He sings about romance and exgirlfriends all the time. He even says in the song, "The female mystique takes my breath away...

[MoreTails]

@DanielDo08 ok, hes just a faggot then i suppose

[SmilieOwlie]

soooo NICE

[takanoritoriyama]

gnarly synth

[KatieM7]

WHAT IS AIR

ajdkfhasjk I love Adam. :D

[LiFEDEATHLOVEWAR]

Awesome performance! Love Owl City. Adam Young makes the best music ever.

[LiFEDEATHLOVEWAR]

So awesome!

[susanhuynh]

Thank you for featuring this incredible artist on your show! :)

[Uatemydoodle]
