[1958detroit]

Hey guys,

Lay off the dude. If you don't like him, don't watch. Seems you have nothing better to do. If you need something to do....come kiss my ass!



[lbulaoat]

He signed a contract.. Yes hes back in Compton working in the gay bath house like he used to.

[9italianman]

@criticwithadegree SHUT THE FUCK UP YOURE SUCH A PUSSY GO FUCKING DIE IN A HOLE

[criticwithadegree]

@9italianman Dont get mad at the facts. No record deal. Case closed

[jfk88islanders]

dude guys stop hatin his awesome and all you can do is try to make people feel worst than you do

[1958detroit]

What a voice. It gives me chills. I'm waiting for your CD.

[criticwithadegree]

@1958detroit You will have a long wait no one has or will signed him. He cant sing

[criticwithadegree]

@1958detroit well you got a long wait

[milashia12]

omg hes amazing !



[dbsklover4eva]

why dont people like it??

[margotcoleen]

i will cry a million times with this song

[bree7273]

u should have one i love u :)

[bree7273]

u should have one i love u :)

[NEWtoHSJnofan]

im confused... what is with the negative comments?

[julesv307]

Love Jacob's voice. Beautiful tone quality. Love it. Wish there was an album.

[themrjakenaz]

Its not the worse I've ever herd someone sing this song...but on the other hand if you want a better version look up Joseph Vincent's version :D Its amazing!

[SuperBullaMan]

Way To Go Man!!!!

[RadiateL]

@sheldomhelltrom @criticwithadegree I know he's not the best singer ever. How ever by saying his version is annoying and no one has signed him to a label, Jacob was able to achieve more than week 3. Not everyone can even go to AI, nor those far. You know how hard it is? This song means a lot to him. I have nothing against you guys, but.. I mean yea, its kinda rude on what you said. And I know you guys are just saying your opinion, but so am I.

[ImagineStuff]

wow.... i like the way u sing

[IdolReady]

It's so sad that people judge him because of his weight and sexuality... meanwhile he was easily the best male singer on this Season and yet people are unable to get passed appearances... the funny thing is, he isn't even that heavy or overly effeminate, his voice just has a great range, but because he is gay that suddenly puts people off... I hope he gets signed, his album would be incredible

[TheMaury305]

@IdolReady i hear you men but what can i say this american country all the count is the image thats why the best we can do are biebers and rhianas but fuk it thats why you disregard the haterss....

[exgf22]

nigga nigga fag retard overweight nigga

[kbrod90210]

@exgf22 maybe you’re a Ignorant ranger for say things like that, Jacob doesnt have a father, but you, you need a one for educate you, and clean your brain

[MrStevenphan90]

All I have yo say that is he has a great voice

[aliyahs5400]

Oh my gosh you people are such haters his voice is amazing

[cutelawrence18]

good

[hursts]

This is beautiful, stop hating, this is american idol you are suppose to make the song your own. He has an amazing gift!!

[TheLittleIslandGirl]

OMG GOOD SINGER LUV U

[shermainelahh]

stop hatin' .. he's good, or not he wouldn;t be in AI.

[criticwithadegree]

Well another year has almost passed since Jacob Lusk appearance on A.I. and like i said before America wasnt quite ready for and overweight pugy cross dressing flamboyant gay Idol. No one has signed him to a label and they wont. He really coudnt sing

[Bernsteincopland]

@criticwithadegree Just a FYI his contract with AI does not allow him to receive or even be in talks with another production or distribution company until a full year after his tour with AI. Also, If America wasn't ready for Jacob, he wouldn't be in the top 5 of the competition. Regardless of what people believe what his sexuality is or isn't. Adam Lambert was in the top 2 and his a homosexual. Doing well in the mix of it all. I understand people critic all the time but homework must be done.

[criticwithadegree]

@Bernsteincopland Well if America and the world was ready for him hen he would have won and instaed of top 5. He wont make it he is just a flash in the pan with emphasis on flash

[Bernsteincopland]

@criticwithadegree Again...you don't have to win to make it in Idol. More people that didn't win Idol is doing better than the people who won the competition. I don't know if this is a homo-phobic thing or not based on your response. Anyways, I wish him the best of luck on any of his endeavors.

[lilbeezyyy]

@criticwithadegree ruben studdard was overweight, definitely past pudgy. and we've had flamboyant and cross dressing, and gay, with clay aiken and adam lambert. sooo obviously that had nothing to do with it.

[Mraaa4u]

@criticwithadegree what an idiot you are! Hating on someone who doesn't even know you exist!

[AngelVoicelovesyou]

@criticwithadegree And i bet your old, discombobulated, haten ass raggedy homophobe straight wannna be in the closet, stuck up, illiterate no good for nothing, idiotic, superficial, cunt shaped ass can't sing better nor do you have talent. So who are you to fucking judge? haha people like YOU make me laugh. So rude and disrespectful nd he could be the one to save your life one day aha. Your not any better...and Your stupid ass not getting nowhere being like that. pshhh

[criticwithadegree]

@AngelVoicelovesyou You gay people are so emotional such and hormone unbalance

[ChrisMagoo99]

@criticwithadegree oh wow, you're an idiot

[AngelVoicelovesyou]

@criticwithadegree It's also funny that someone who doesn't like a certain TALENTED singer....Waste their precious time looking at his videos still haha there are BILLIONS of videos on you tube why both to watch his a YEAR later? makes no since haha. To funny, Guys who sit there and hate on a wonderful talented supposedly GAY singer....are really guys who are truly insecure with themselves. lolx

[criticwithadegree]

@AngelVoicelovesyou If he is so talented where is his album? Where is his record deal? I tell you where it is. It is non-existant just like his talent.

[AngelVoicelovesyou]

@criticwithadegree lolx but your the main one focused on him still lol goes to show you like him deep inside :) Haters gone hate. God Bless.

[AlainaHater777]

@criticwithadegree Producer's won't give him a contract because no one will buy his album.

[justsayingxoxo]

@criticwithadegree he couldnt sing ? you stupid ? pls watch his perfomance on god bless the child or anything else. Rarely saw such a talent in my whole Life

[Snellinator326]

@criticwithadegree That's complete bullshit!

[criticwithadegree]

@Snellinator326 Call it what you may but you cant deny the facts. He didnt get signed. No album. America is not ready

[Hakuoh1]

@criticwithadegree Someone's homophobic

[criticwithadegree]

@Hakuoh1 No someone knows talent when he hears it. There is simply no talent here

[papacobito]

This guy can sing anything in a very emotional way. This guy is GOOD

[shanweezy]

i love this dude :)

[sheldomhelltrom]

I DONT LIKE HIS VERSION!!! SO ANNOYING!! WTF

[SuperBullaMan]

@sheldomhelltrom HATER

[filipini1234567]

@sheldomhelltrom jealous racist...

[izzylife93]

@filipini1234567 maybe a belieber, but still why is it top comment??

this is not a critic, this is a heckler who hates good music

[27461Andy]

@sheldomhelltrom go f yourself.... he is thiking at his father, don't be a bitch

[adam0935]

@sheldomhelltrom me too



[DjCroBeatz]

@sheldomhelltrom

racist...

[mayagotbabys12]

@sheldomhelltrom you lame

[McVitiesmuffinjohn]

@sheldomhelltrom he sang this song for his father who died... so he was overly emotional... and the ending is spectacular... amazing notes at the end :) Listen to the studio version.

[xion621]

it's hard to top Luther, but good try mang.

[hak0443]

Man he was crying :(

[TnWormsCastings]

[RJPwner00]

Best version, and I LOVE Luther! <3

[CARLCOACH]

[alanikz]

[darainbowboss]

[3arianaras]

[etar67]

excellent!!!! I love this cover!!!!!

[baremidriff]

That was every bit as good as the Luther Vandross version

[trinuyasha]

all haters probly dont no hhis father recently died so i guess u prob wouldnt have the nerve to go up their and sing! if yours did!!!!!!!

[TheCrazygirl2011]

It's no doubt that Jacob has the widest vocal range. I connected with him instantly when I first heard this on Idol- I fell in love with it!! I don't get why so many people have to hate on him. There are people out there who can honestly sing worse than him.

[MrBalla2305]

Jacob has an amazing voice. I love this song

[wdimples1]

I like how people are hating just cause they cant sing let alone anything that involves talent...

[jonbj007]

@exbf23 I guess that is what is going on in your head !

[lisalewis401]

@exbf23 only someone with a slightly twisted mind would say something like that.

[MJdf07]

[longhair295]

So the judge critsem him for letting his emotions take over but when James let's his emotions Take over the don't to that

[NaruHina5201007515]

Casey

Pia

[NaruHina5201007515]

@603xxg

Naima

James

Jacob

Pia

[CrazySabertooth]

Vocally, he went a little bit sharp at times. However, this guy sings from feeling, and draws everyone into his world. After all, that is what music is about, isn't it?

Was Jacob my favorite? No, but he is an incredible talent and I hope he has an amazing career. He's what this industry should be about.

[NaruHina5201007515]

I luv Jacob's voice <3 So glad he made it to at least top 5

[Penguinshippingirl]

My father died when I was five. When he sang this song, I just started bawling like a baby. As soon as he was done, I ran up to my room and just cried. Even hearing this again has brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes I pray, wishing that I could just see him one more time...

[MsShakalohawaii808]

ilove his voice(: this song always makes me cry

[annm777]

I think that his voice shines when singing songs to glorify the Lord. Maybe that's what the Lord intends him to do. If this is so . . . I hope that Jacob listens to what God has put on his heart.

You were my favourite contestant Jacob .

Love and blessings to you.

[msTyga2011]

crying

[davidclover1]

I was never a Jacob fan, and im not crazy about him, but this is AMAZING. I listen to this all the time.

[ZDdisturbed]

he put the mic down cause he was about to cry

[roni6876]

i love u jacob! i voted for u al the time!

[TheCrazydude718]

omg this was the most passionate version ive ever heard... my vote all day long...

[delano130]

I know he has what it takes to win, but he just has to proform and all the crying, he has to learn there's a time and a place and that place is not all the time, it's ok to cry but to a limit when it comes to competions, because some might procieve your just doing it for sympathy so they vote for you. I know thats not his case but preception is everything.

[Captainamerica95]

@abbie100123456789 if you can be in the same position as he can then you can talk....

and even if you were as good as him, no one would care because i dont think anyone would like your attitude.

[abbie100123456789]

BOOOOO!!!

[TheYarner123]

@abbie100123456789 fuck you

[Chizzuh]

@abbie100123456789 Do what he just did, then come back and boo him. You've got nothing on that man's voice.

[fer97as]

@abbie100123456789 wtf get a fucking heart , bet u cant even sing abc

[mathuang95]

idk why this has so many dislikes.my opinion is that this was his best performance of the whole season and that he won that night

[reubenbeltran]

ang gling tlaga

[chiopeefillin]

so what if he's gay??! this dude can sing. who are you to judge him? CAN U SING??

[sug34609]

I cryer through the whole thong cus :( idk were my father is havn't seen him sence I was -cry's- 3 years old so thank u for singing this and deticating to this and person who said he's gay who cares if he is and not a waste of time

[BubbleFish360]

i feel so bad for jacob! people could have been more supportive. some people r just tu harsh. i know some of you guys HATE jacob, but fi you watch his videos over and over again, you'll see that HE-GOT-TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[benbugs]

all the way with his emotion..

[micemei]

@proyectometanoia you are a clos-minded low life, waste of LIFE !

[jhunnelsarajan]

he's not my bet ! :) but wonder why that I'm so shocked with his absolutely stunning voice ..and he sing one of my favorite song ..I'm so regret that he eliminated ..but there's no elimination in real life ..so Continue Lusk ! ..you posses the voice that so hard to find ..

[evanshouse]

Just beautiful.  Jacob will go far. Good luck to him in all he does.

[mingopetro]

I love how people think he was voted off because he was black or that "he comes off as a little gay" give me a break. the truth of the matter is he wasnt that good, should have been voted off much sooner

[MegaHovie]

@mingopetro He was that good; perhaps the best voice, period, but he still needs to learn how to use it better ,at time. And yes, I do believe some, far too many, judged him by race, sexual orientation, and weight. That being said, there can only be one winner in a competition. Now we will see what does or doesn't happen to all of the Adols as their careers move on.

[sprklcutie98]

@mingopetro how could u say this he's amazing at singing maybe not my taste of music but he's prop has a better voice then u

[thedysthymic]

Let me just get this straight, people disliked this and did not to vote to keep him on the show because "he comes off as a little gay" or because he is black?  Geeze, that's mature. I honestly hate American Idol, I watched the past two episodes (that Jacob was on) with my girlfriend, and he is by far the best singer on the show. One of the best singers I have heard in ages.

[Cheercha101]

@cutecathy97 because ppl r raceist against blacks, it's screwed up rite?

[CuteCathy97]

why does 119 people dislikes this? I'm almost crying.

[michlification]

Daumen Hoch wenn ihr wegen Pietro hier seit :) <3

[TornadoSusi]

god bless you jacob.....greetZzz from germany :D

[Dean814]

God bless you Jacob.

[tia507]

[Elin51681]

Jah ich hab auch Gehört das Pietro das im Finale singt (:

[27MelissaS]

peitro sing das im finale..

[sharksrule623]

Great!!! Hope u win love you!

[cokerocks1100]

i don't like jacob that much but this performance was my favorite af that night

[TheMusicguy68]

AMERICA! ALERT! JACOB LUSK'S PERFORMANCE OF "DANCE WITH MY FATHER AGAIN": IT IS BEAUTIFUL AND AS GOOD AS THAT OF LUTHER VAN DROSS-WHO WAS AN R&B ICON OF AMERICAN MUSIC! JACOB HAS AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE VOICE!

Unfortunately, many A.I. viewers are too young to even know who Luther VanDross was, so Jacob was not given his "Wow" votes for this great performance!

[2255elli]

i love this song my dad died almost 2 years ago <3

[father4022]

i love jacob lusk so much but this performance didnt give him much credit at all..its better for him not to hold back of his voice.....

[mjbaybgurl]

ATTN TO ALL JACOB FANS!! PLZ VOTE FOR HIM AS MANY TIMES TOMORROW....TEXT and CAll Ur VOTES IN!!! VOTING IS UNLIMITED!!! VOTE FOR HIM NON STOP DURING THE 2 HOUR WINDOW AFTER THE SHOW!!

HE DESERVES TO MAKE IT FARTHER IN THE SHOW...and HE DESERVES TO WIN!!

HELP ME SUPPORT THIS GREAT TALENT!!! :)

[sniperone00]

All i can say on those 115 fuckers is FUCK YOU!.

[valereieawesome]

i almost peed my pants when he was in the bottem two

[Brook3Lynn3]

I found out that I could loose my dad at any time, he id living with Muscular Dystrophy, Cerival Palsy (i dont know if i spelt that right..) and a heart condition. NEVER TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED. And I know for a fact that Jacob has what it takes to win American Idol. All you haters stop hating, he sang this song because it meant a lot to him. Jacob is my Idol! He never takes the negative comments to heart, he is an amazing singer, a funny and great person, and does what he believes in. Good job!

[Fabioperez66]

one word: booooooring! he could sing on the churchs that will be good

[CursedGene2011]

Thissong touched me, but i wish my dad was a good dad, he would always have fights with my mom and would beat her up, still he's my dad and nothing would ever change that

[jonaabeib27]

I liked his version. You can feel the sincerity of the song.

I lost my father for like a month ago. Made me cry while watching this vid :'(

[TurboNosHayabusa1]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[bigsplash87]

i don't think he's gonna win... so i got a very nice and distintive voice.... but i dont think he got the full pakage to be the next american idol..... so thats my opinion... BUT i love him....

[joan3225]

I Love Him..!

[Metalbutterfly1]

He is horrible..

[BB41699]

this song makes me cry because my dad's dad died and then my dad's mother died 1 year later it makes me so sad

[Too2ManyLuvas]

Jacob is the best singer vocally. He now needs to do what Randy suggested and go for broke, sing the way he's used to singing. Forget about what "America" thinks and do what he feels. He's trying to tone everything down and is still getting in the bottom 2 and 3...so he should just give it his all and see what happens. If people are still angry about his comments, or don't like his style...TOUGH. At least he'll know he was being himself and singing the way he feels.

[bbyriah1]

He Shoulda Went Home Instead Of Stefano.:/

<3 i love u stefano

[Cookies7694]

he managed to pull it off in the end.

[doggylovers08]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song, i can relate to it cuz i too lost my father when i was young, and he did a good job singing while tryng to hold back his tears :) and too all u haters tht hate this video...SHUT UP!

[StreakOfMusic]

@abbie100123456789 You are the BIGGEST 'IDIOT' EVER

[Petlover9868]

@abbie100123456789 no he aint i like him sooo?!

[bookt211]

@abbie100123456789 come on now! he is soo NOT the worst idol ever. It's one thing if you don't like his music, but to say that he's the worst ever is just ignorant. no offense..

[060991gemini]

theres a lot of evil here..!!! especial those whos been dislike this vid.. they hate gospel WTH... go jacob ...!!!

[ArcticSnoww]

I don't see why people say he's going home because he sings gospel.

Didn't Fantasia also sing gospel and r&b?

[LovexHopexFaith98]

He seem like a good church singer but i think the sound guys messed up with the sound cause he pulled his ear piece. Poor him he might get kicked off for that. This is why I HATE American Idol.

[ExplorerPersonHI]

@justinharlan85 You have no reason to insult the guy personally. It's just a performance. Why all the hate man?
