Fantastic! I've been looking for a great recital of this and my search is now over! Well done!

[aranyria]

i had to go through a bunch of old english guys jollily reciting the poem before i finally got to this. you clearly have thought a lot about the poem and its meaning. it can be seen that you know excactly what the poem is about. you got it right.

[endlesswinter00]

This was very nicely delivered. Thank you for it.

[pamelais0nline]

I love you.

I love the way you recite this poem.

Bravo :D

[Snottydragon]

Goodness me! Amazing - I wish I could learn to recite half as well you!

[Paladine777]

I can't believe how my literature teacher put up this video in class. It gets boring after a couple of views...

[prhughes0]

Superb delivery:

never seen better,

don't expect to.

[magpiecake]

Superb. This is my favorite poem and it's always a pleasure to read out loud or to hear it read aloud well. Thanks for a brilliant and moving rendition.

[weirdfishjacek]

Like a few others, I too signed up just to comment on this video. Yesterday I finished memorizing this poem myself, and hearing you read it has convinced me that I more or less understand it too - you sound exactly like I imagine Prufrock would. Truly an amazing reading: haunting, poignant, powerful. Thank you!

[lizbrochu]

You should be an English teacher, if you're not one already. :]

[hellomoto818]

brilliant

[bpted]

Prufrock!!! You are Prufrock. God, I hope not, actually, for your sake.

[fallsdeep]

Maybe you could read William Blake as well? Or Coleridge?

[jamieandrews]

Funny you should mention Blake and Coleridge -- I am planning to do "Xanadu" and I was thinking about doing "The Lamb" and "The Tyger". (I memorized those a while ago -- in fact you might be able to spot Blake's illustrated version of "The Tyger" on my bathroom wall in my video of "Resume".) Yeats's "The Second Coming" is a good idea too, though I haven't memorized that one -- yet!

[fallsdeep]

Beautifully done. I was an English major, this is one of my favorite poems.  Your reading and performance is perfect and spot on.

[TheMember06]

brilliant rendition! so many stand out bits. favourited..

[languagedancer]

spellbound

[macheartist]

I had given up hope of finding more than amateurish and disappointing poetry readings, then I came upon this, and I tell you I was moved. For the entire 8 minutes and some odd seconds I was spellbound. Magnificent! I will insist that the poetry lovers among my friends watch this.

[Diruo]

Flawless. Thank you!

[LitTexas]

additional kudos...

Try Yeats's The Second Coming!

[imaginaitlyn]

Jamie Andrews Prufrock - that was sublime. I, too, signed up for youtube just to comment on this amazing reading. Can I give you stars somewhere. I'm a fan.

[sbscace]

I always wanted to hear this the way TS Eliot meant for it to be read. I think if he were alive today, he would agree, well done my friend. Thank you so much.

[kimmyransom]

I think all you recite are great renditions. Keep giving us more!

[lordglorfindel]

My GOD. That was perfectly read. <3

[unglikaorse]

Excellent, I'm still learning to appreciate T.S.Eliot,really helps understanding hearing it so well read. Thanks

[niceonetom]

amazing.

[DonaldMele]

Bravissimo.... this was excellent

[RedGirl963]

You did such a fabulous job! I recently read this poem for a class and you really brought it to life. (I made an account just so I could comment on your video.) Well done!

[Vulturek]

so many stupid wanna be artists out there, its hard to sift through and find people who are genuinely in tune with the work. this was a perfect reading, absolutely loved it.

[digigangstars]

i love this. i love this. this is my favorite poem by t.s. eliot. amazing.

[digigangstars]

i love this. i love this. this is my favorite poem of t.s. eliot. amazing.

[jamieandrews]

Thanks for your compliments!

[whiteflanneltrousers]

Sounds much like the original Eliot recording!

[jamieandrews]

I never really thought about it, but it makes sense that he would have recorded it.  Is it available on Caedmon?

[Estkileoto]

An excellent rendition of a classic work.

[jamieandrews]

Thanks!
