  • Harmonies should be in the same key...

    She is definitely flat in some harmonies you can tell that they aren't "locking" together. She is also not blending well. She's overpowering the melody.

    She may not be bad... It's sometimes difficult to hear yourself on a stage, and I think its just an issue of not being able to monitor her part with all the instruments, and other voices around her.

  • if i were a man i would marry you

  • It's called harmony guys... It's not flat! I think it sounds damn good. Your not going to sing in the same key....

  • That other girl is sooo flat in some parts.

    Also, being up on that stage, next to Julia........ Anyone will suck.

  • to everyone hating the other singers, its called a fucking harmony. you try stepping on a stage in front of half the people who were there and singing any song you like, its not half as easy as it sounds. grow the fuck up, it was a good performance.

  • @Hamypig You are more than 100% correct. The harmony was great in my opinion. And "just for the recooord" harmony is so much harder to sing. Anyone can sing a normal melody but only certain ppl have the ear for harmony. That girl can sing VERY well. Julia Nunes would have sang it exactly the same way but shes a badass and wrote the song so shes the frontwoman....all others who complain know nothing

  • @Hamypig A fucking harmony is usually sung on tune and on the same key. The bassist is harmonizing perfectly. I'm still not going to judge Julia and the other musicians for that backup singer.

  • @luistijerina mate, she's completely in key. maybe a few mistakes, as i repeated, i can't see anyone here hating that can do HALF as good.

  • why so much hate on the band? i thought everything was fantastic.

  • JUNU needs a new band! We should make videos to try out or something, like find her the best band to make her talent soar. yeah.................

  • good singer

  • Seriously. I've always found Julia's voice very very powerful. And that woman singing just completely ruined that. Never the less it was very good.

  • Julia, keep on truckin' Babe. I found you a couple of yrs. ago when I got "MY" uke. There are some times I W/ bottle keep finding 'LeLes. This is my 1st time to see you live. I'm sure your Dad is indeed VERY proud. Don't ya dare stop. Keep writing, too.

  • Brilliant!!!!! xxxxxx

  • I love Julia Nunes.. I have to listen to this song at least 3 times a day or else i will go mad :)

  • who the hell picked the back up singer?

    and i love julia's voice :D (ohandhershoes)

  • i liked the harmonies very much...everyone's a monday morning quaterback. some day i'll catch the irrepressable julia live in concert

  • @carlkirk2001 totally agree. the harmonies made the song beautiful :)

  • Oh wow, fantastic, Backround singinger is catching to much flak though so she went of key, happens o the best of us, she was still great at harmoneys

  • SICK

  • Awhh, I kinda wish that the whistle part was in there.. And the female back up... uhmm... interesting in flat ways.

  • Makes me cry every time i listen to it. Every time. And yes, that flower-wearing backup singer totally kinda pissed me off, too.

  • am i like the only person who doesn't think the backing singers were off key?

  • @derek0660 Me too. I didn't think she was off key at all! In fact, I liked it the way she did it! Made the song more interesting.

  • amazing. love u. like your style. like your hair. like your voice. ha ha IM UR #1 FAN!!

  • julia nunes is better than sex.

  • @2012megamoo i dont know about better than sex, but definitely on par

  • When I saw the word Manchester in the info for this I was very angry with myself... Has julia been playing in the uk, practically on my doorstep and I wasn't there singing loudly bad aproximations of her lyrics and getting her to sign my uke?!?! But no... It's ok, it's the other Manchester! Thank god for that!

  • Julia's wonderful. This live version might be even better than her first video of the song.

  • I love Julia she! She was meant to play live! Love it!

  • She's good! I love to see "normal everyday-type people" in live raw performances. I wanna here more.

  • It kinda amazes me that some people come on here to only bash on her for being overweight. I'd take Julia over any talentless skinny girl any day. She's a beautiful person, and a beautiful artist.

    I've been following Julia for so long now, and it's so cool to see how far she's come! The back up singers might not have been great, but still enjoyed the performance nonetheless!

  • thank you onemangarageband for your comment!! I sooo agree Julia started out REAL and she is pure raw talent. No manufacturing at all. Music is talent not just entertainment its a true art!

  • I think Julia is great. Nothing anybody else says will convince me otherwise. Keep doing your thing Julia.

  • Great performance. Wish i was there to see it live! :)

  • i loooooooooooooooooove this song !!!

  • I love love love Julia... those back up singer need to GO! The chick is terrible.

  • The backup singers were not THAT bad, I have heard much worse, I have to give them credit, they could be using auto-tune! Feel free to shoot them if that ever happens.

  • Wow I can't bleave most of the coments said she was good and I actually thought the background singer was better than Julia and Donte say that if u don't like it then don't watch it and this would be my response.I have never heard of her and if i did then I wouldn't be watching this video so all the ppl who actually like this can shut up [: an I feel so good have a nice life

  • @paramoregirl251 Bleave? BLEAVE!? I can't b-e-l-i-e-v-e you said "bleave."

  • @onemangarageband Wally, leave the Bleaver alone. lol

  • ok so i'm pretty much tone deaf and i could even tell that the back up singer was terrible. besides her, julia was better than sex! :D love her!!!

  • I don't hear nething wrong with the back up singer..... This video was amazing

  • Julia was impressive as always, but that female backup singer with an acne problem almost ruined the song.

  • can i buy an album?? your amazing, and you enjoy it!!

  • she really gained some freaking weight

  • so beautiful

  • I've been a fan of Julia for a while... like probably like a year or something. But i cant be any more mad than possible about how tone-deaf and terrible the background singer is singing. *I* can do better. And this is coming from someone in MIDDLE school. She may have a cute outfit, but nothing can make up for the background singers voice.

  • @mahatmagandhiluvr She wasn't off key

  • @mahatmagandhiluvr Middle schoolers unite! all the voice cracks in the world can't keep us from singing better than bonarroo's background singers!!

  • Omg the female backup singer killed her

  • Wow I'm so glad I stumbled across this video! Julia has an incredible voice! She requires no backup at all!!!

  • julia is great as always, but i don't really dig the other female singer. she was off key and detracted from the whole thing.

  • @conquerinfooloar yes the drums were not necessary either

  • @conquerinfooloar well. . . in her defense, she's probably worried about the people down front and how they can probably see up her skirt.

  • Hooray for Julia Nunes! She is magnificent.

  • I like that she ups the tempo at the end :)

  • thumbs up for this video

  • terrible

  • awesome!!!!!!!

  • She's putting her soul out there, isn't she? Julia is an inspiring artist makes me wanna pick up my dusty guitar (or maybe an ukulele?) and play away, compose, be foolish maybe, but re-explore whatever creativity there's left in this aging brain of mine, I must say without comparing that the only other artist that made me feel like that was Kurt Cobain in my early teens... thanks Julia!

  • @pedrocrush well said my friend :)

  • @femalegarra well, thank you :)

  • Gorgeous voice, gorgeous in every light.

  • @mberning1 yup, except for the thighs

  • Dave liked this video !!

  • Where can i get the whole show? im British thus less human and deserve less Julia Nunes apparently! :(

  • Yeah she must really suck if shes playing Bonnaroo. Julia you had two awesome shows at bonnaroo!

  • wow this is a great song!

  • good stuff keep it going..

  • Way to go Julia!!

  • about half way through it really gets good. shes beautiful...

  • @MrElectricdude I agree. D;

  • @MrElectricdude or the most amazing sound to anyone with a good ear.

  • i love this song SO much!

  • haha! You can tell how nervous she is in her voice! but she calmed down in the end ♥

  • JAAA!!!!!! ROCKIN IT OUT BITCH-EEEEZ!!!

  • Beautiful

    

  • This is sooo good!! She's a real musician!

    And omg!! what an awesome ukulele, if you still call it that? :L

  • I love Julia Nunes. She is so talented BUT she needs to get rid of that girl background singer. She is terrible.

  • awesome performance at Bonnaroo Julia! - this is my first introduction to your music (the Live Bonnaroo webcast on Youtube, Friday) But you are now one of my favorites - you rock!

  • Didn't like the first 10 seconds but now I'm hooked ... you go girl!!!

  • damn you can sing, and your cute as hell

  • Yay!!! I watched her youtube videos and now she is at bonnaroo!!! World domination julia!! I don't know you but I am super proud

  • Keep up the great work!

  • I love you.

  • Amazing!!!

    

  • I want to cuddle her.

  • @OldZLand haha! i know!!

  • i clicked this video at random just to check my speakers and ended up liking this song. keep it up!

  • You're gorgeous and talented. On the degree of a professional in the latter? Nope.  But your persistence will pay off. Keep living life and have fun. :)

  • I can tell you all this... I've just had the pleasure of seeing and hearing and feeling ( that's right we hugged) Miss Nunes at a wonderfully small venue in Northhampton Mass. My daughter and I have followed her for years now on the "Tube".She's all that and more. What a sweetheart! What a treat!!!

    Her dad's a pretty cool dude too!

  • @twaggs I was at that show, too. :)

  • julia you look aneroxic, could you put on a few pounds please

  • for the opening act she was the best and thank you JULIA!!!!!

  • She has "IT"! Love her music! Keep on truckin!

  • For being nervous, you didnt show it one bit! Flawless performance!! The mark of a true performer!

  • looooooooooooooove yoooooooooou juuuuuuliaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • julia i adore you sooo much!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Could you stop being so awesome? It's making the rest of us look bad ;)

  • Hey--Julia Nunes' rhythm section--i.e., the bass player and drummer--are actually pretty good. You can't hear them on the homemade videos of her shows in clubs. You can hear them on this video. Way to go guys!

  • Super perf' !

  • You Are Beautiful. Period! :)

  • You need to get a better female backing singer.

    She is gash!

  • To the juveniles who don't like Julia Nunes --here's a little observation that you will come to understand as you grow up: Music is not necessarily about sounding or looking like an American Idol. People appreciate Julia Nunes because she is a real person who writes and performs her own, honest music. She's not a manufactured music-biz babe with a stable of corporate songwriters and personal trainers behind her . Bob Dylan would not have made it on American Idol either.

  • @onemangarageband You're right she is good but the problem is she is singing a little below her natural range at times so it sounds forced and is a little out of tune. Nothing wrong with that but people today are used to slick heavily produced studio recordings that sound perfect or singers that have been coddled, trained and homogenized by those same producers to sound rather generic, not real people singing real live music of their own making.

  • @onemangarageband Any of the "juveniles" that you are referencing wouldn't know who Bob Dylan was anyway. Probably wouldn't be familiar with any "artist" that didn't come from American Idol. I've found that arguing with the nit wits here is futile. Nice post though!

  • @onemangarageband seriously the fact that you compared her to Bob Dylan......LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL­OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL­OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL­OLOLOLOL READ MY PAST COMMENTS JACKASS

  • @onemangarageband - you said it. If she feels like it she can always get on a treadmill, whereas these failtrolls can't do anything about their being stupid.

  • @onemangarageband American Idol? That's that over-hyped karoke contest corporations use to pick out people to use to make them money.

  • @dtstrain Right. That's exactly my point.

  • @onemangarageband im only 19 and after discovering julia at bonnaroo i find that she is just fucking awesome......and american idol sucks ive never liked that dumb shit

  • @420andsuch You're one of the smart, mature juveniles. My comment was not directed at all juveniles/teenagers, just the ones whose posts on this video indicate that they think "good" music is all about , you know, "American Idols" with perfect bodies strutting around on stage, singing mindless lyrics in perfect pitch and doing lewd poses in time to a catchy beat. (Not that JN's beats aren't catchy!) You appreciate smart, honest, thoughtful, thought-provoking real music by a real person.

  • @onemangarageband haha thanks mane honestly i think its all the pot ive smoked in the past two years that have opened up my creative mindset lol

  • @onemangarageband

    Well said!

  • @onemangarageband hey now im 16 and i know that julia is a wonderful singer! dont be putting young people down just because a few act dumb! >.o

  • @onemangarageband YOU GOOO!!! i <3 julia nunes

  • @onemangarageband I actually love you for that post. =]

  • @onemangarageband i could not have seed it any better

    she is just pure energy and talent and is nothing short of a shining light of joy and one of the prettiest people i have every seen in side and out

  • @onemangarageband just let people like what they like.

    what would you do if someone liked american idol AND bob dylan?

  • WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW­W..!!!!!!!!!

  • Great to see you playing bigger stages at last! You are so talented, it is only fair that the rest of the world finds out! Ignore the hater-ade on these pages. Elementary schools are on summer break it seems. You are a talented artist and beautiful to boot.

  • @jasoneric Alright well if you find it so repulsive keep it to yourself if you don't mind. Thanks :)

  • Wooooo go Julia!!!

  • love her voice!

  • background singer? awesome!!

  • Arghhhhhh I'm so sad that I couldn't stream to whole set as I live in the UK

  • I freaking love that song, nuff said

  • your songs pump me up, and I listen to them when I ride to work, thanks, thats all I can say...thanks.

  • Julia is amazing, I have never seen her before, but I have this on replay. The lyrics are so meaningful.

  • I've watched this video like 5 times already. This girl is amazing.

  • i loved her face at the end! :-D HA!

    <3 Julia!

  • @Kanioka Sorry she doesn't sing in the same vocal range as your radio-friendly artists. She has an awesome voice and is extremely talented.

  • um, wtf

    

  • She's got a deep ass voice.

  • To all the Neg Feed back . she sang at Bonnaroo last year . and this year they invited Her Back to sing on the Main stage . so if shes so bad why did they Personaly Invite her back ??? . and why has she been on stage with Ben folds five ?? all because she sucks ??? I Think not . She is Awesome enough said

  • Julia is not normal. She's incredible. Screw all those stereotypes... Favorite Artist. Period. Absolutely incredible and wish her nothing but the best.

  • JULIA YOU RULEE!!!!!!

  • LOVE IT! Julia Nunes is AMAZING!!!!!

  • Did she make the bassist wear those shorts?

  • @jonaslove1012 I think she sounds great, not at all tone deaf. So what if her singing voice is in a lower octave than that of typical girl singers? If she's got enough talent to get her to Bonnaroo then she must not suck as much you seem to think she does.

  • @jonaslove1012 Your eyes are obviously bigger than your ears.
