Footlights - Merle Haggard

[rawrrr546]

you are my favourite artist of all time. With this unique style and voice, its a sure winner. I wish i could get an autograph, because its inevitable your going to be a major success, only a matter of time. See you on the CMA's

[intggsr4]

[dontyouno]

James, what a voice! Look forward to seeing you on Ellen's show.

[whoisthis574]

u have the most wonderful voice..

its so open and relaxing

[futurerancher]

Your voice really shines when you sing Merle and especially Hank. Its like his songs were written for you.

[smiddleton]

I heard somewhere before that Merle wrote this song about Johnny Cash, or maybe FOR Johnny cash. Johnny Cash was the one that stomped out the footlights a few times on the Grand Ole Opry. Great cover by the way!

[bawdybill]

There has to be someone viewing this young man's videos that knows someone in Nashville that can get him a shot. He is so talented that I'm green with envy. Yet to hear a bad performance. Stay with it, James.

[allu1112]

hags best nobody can sing like him but you do pretty good job

[urmomha3]

Man are you good! Just some advise I seen you play live. Play Like your alone with your gutair and feel the music on stage like you do here and you will make it far.

[jaypenniez82]

I tell you what ....Im from Chicago and this is the place where guys like you get whats coming to ya pal ....I dont care if yur from new york or austria this guy can sing better than anyone Ive heard in a long time......!!!!!!!!!so go and jump off the highest bridge you can find in your city UTBESUX

[varmitrifle]

YOU BETTER WATCH THAT MOUTH BUD. i take it, you dont live in TENNESSEE?

[AK47cowboy]

Hank williams jr did this song also.....but im not sure if hank or merle wrote it. sounds like something hank jr would do lol. throw the guitar across the stage.....yea thats hank lol. good job AGAIN buddy.

[ManOfSteel607]

Merle wrote this one...all three (Merle, Hank, and James) are great versions.

[rifleman522]

ManOfSteel607 is right. Merle wrote this one. And yes, all 3 are great versions.

[bmoser17]

don't give up you got what it takes.i had too and i gave up. don't do that

[jagvocate]

James,

Do whatever it takes to get discovered. America is coming up on a real rough patch and real singers will make a comeback in country. Your voice is a God-given talent, focus on it.

[Princesspersempre]

I still love you... - Wish I was a little younger - whoops I think you have a wife... Keep up the good work you're absolutely GORGEOUS and that sexy accent man oh man

[tuccoman]

I´m a big fan of Merle Haggard. But this boy could be his son :-) wonderful !

[Princesspersempre]

I love you..

[beerhead79]

the two face video was kinda scary, but i gave it a 5. i hope you will make it someday.

[16JohnDeere33]

You do a great job on this song love it. You should do more Alan Jackson and George Strait.

[extremeicon3]

GO TO NASHVILLE..ASAP

[LaFlacs]

i bet you could do a randy travis song and sound great

[hobohank2]

You are Great Dude. I Know some people in high places I will get back to you

[fromthispoint]

this is my brothers favorite song he is 65 years old pedal steel guitar player, I am really taken with this young mans voice it is so in gear true pitch and style easy on the ears great singer artist

[FlowersBirdArtist]

I too think, you sound like Randy Travis. You are 'the next one'... go after getting 'in', as you should be 'in' (earning great money with your talent) :) 5*

[cheto8855]

You have a great voice. keep doing things your way and you'll have a great future.

[rifleman522]

Best version I have ever heard. Thumbs up all the way.

[CHunter22]

[dad395]

[calloway1984]

man your great! I would really like to hear you do promises! I would also like to hear ur covers of joe nichols or chris young you've got that kinda voice! If you had a cd i'd buy it tomorrow!!!

[Johnny4eyes2]

First time I have had the pleasure to see one of your videos, and boy! oh! Boy! what a wonderful voice. hope you dont mind me subscribing..Thanks for sharing

[cowgirlunlmited]

you sound just like Randy Travis in his song!! You are amazing!!

[thedig10]

Good song. Serving 190 Proof is one of my favorite Hag albums, second only to Back to the Barrooms. I think those 2 albums really capture the Haggard sound. Keep it up!

[ClassicMusicVids]

I have Back To The Barrooms on vinyl, cassette, CD, mp3....lol. Billy Walker plays some bad ass guitar on that album. By the way, this is an awesome video. One of your best.

[jamesdupremusic]

thank you

[oldetavern]

Loved it! Great song choice.

[LoneRanger19]

Promise you won't stop putting videos on here anytime soon haha, I see a lot of good singers on here stop after a couple months for whatever reason. Please don't do that.

[55555annie]

You are - so appreciated! The only difference between you and Alan Jackson is: "they" haven't found you yet!" And when they do, remember us.

[stutru01]

Gotta love those ol' tunes - James, you just keep getting better and better!!! Was so excited to see you posted new covers. You're my favourite country singer - the boys in Nashville can't hold a candle to ya!

[DOGMAN9999]

hey bud...I've responded to several of your videos and each time you have me puzzled by that one ingredient that makes you different from a lot of the others. I think I've figured it out. You maintain the James Dupre style throughout all of your songs. This one ingredient is going to be what will someday make you famous. You captured a style and you maintained it. It sounds simple....but...very few can do that. Most jump on to someone elses style and piggyback it from there.

[jamesdupremusic]

thank you, I like to take each song and put myself into it, heart and soul. I guess that's how it happens.

[dad395]

hey bro. cant wait for that cd. I listen to alot of people on here and you are tops. You are pure and simple. Love it bro. I got you on my myspace page. Thanks say warm I freezen up here.lol

[tthkf]

ok i just agree with the other comments u could sing 10 a day and id listen,ur voice is so pure and it hits notes effortlessly, ur look is great too! U should go to Nashville.!!!!!!!!!!

[RancidAyatollah]

Extraordinary

[briv1978]

Dude totally dig it---your pretty damn good. If you get the chance try the Craig MOrgan tune International Harvester. I think you would do that one pretty good.

[Woodhead42]

Dude i have now listened to all your songs. You need to take a trip too nashville and sit and play in front of a recording studio. If i had your voice i wouldnt be sittin in this fire station now. TAKE A CHANCE...never know!

[abue122]

OMG I love it!!!

Nice work, keep it up :D

[thecriticword]

Keep it up.. just fantastic

[Chy50]

you know,you could put 10 songs on here a day,and I'd listen to them daily...love your voice..you have no problem hittin any notes that's given you and you do it with ease..don't give up on this..one day I want to see your name comin in my Opry news bulletin

[bulbheadmyass]

Wonderful! One of my favorite Hag songs by my absolute favorite utube singer. Doesn't get much better than this. Only thing better would be James Dupre singing Footlights without the radio yapping in the background. (Hint) I love it anyway, James. :^)

[MonsterEnergy21]

totally dig the new look dude.....medium lenght hair suits you best

[1977Bewitched]

Lovin the Hair! still lovin the voice too!

Keep up the good work.

Maria

[karennerakkaren]

[SoulofaStorm]

Very lovely. And, longer hair suits you. ^^

Still a faithfully loyal suscriber as always,

SoulofaStorm

[jamesdupremusic]

thank you

[treemaster7]

Can you do some old country songs? John Schneider, Johnny Lee, & Mickey Gilley?

[treemaster7]

I overlooked an Orchid looking for a rose by Mickey Gilley, Looking for Love by Johnny Lee, & I'm going to leave you tomorrow by John Schneider. Or, any other song by these three. Thanks.

[tussrock3211]

Great vocals! I just found you yesterday and I have listened to you for about 5hours since then. When my wife cam in from work, I had her come straight to the computer and listen, she loved it as well. I'm from West Virginia and have listened to country music my entire life and your voice is among the best of any I have ever heard. Keep up the singin' and pickin'.

[kamuela]

oh yeah, you sing it great too! as always...

[jonathan1287]

Great song.  I want to be able to buy some of your songs. Why don't you have it set up on myspace so you can sell songs?

[kamuela]

thats one of my favorite songs. I listen to it almost everyday. peace. v
