Jesse McCartney - Blackbird

[Pat95V]

Is that...a BOY?!!??

[vittoriacalestani]

YOU MUST DIE

[vittoriacalestani]

DEVI MORIRE



[PatSommerPedersen92]

This is freakin awesome!!!, everyone who is saying anything else is death.

[romainlabaye]

This guy has a 13 yo guy voice's.. lol Maybe he thought it was a good idea to cover this WONDERFUL song, just because he has the same name as Paul McC....

[ThereJustMe]

Personally i really like this video and the way he sings it :) <3

[poussyledzep]

why the hell his name is MC CARTNEY?

[BecauseTeAmoTanto]

I love this song!

[maxxx10]

this is just horrible.. my ears are fucking bleeding from this

[lucyfearo]

1:43 creepy...

[xcrunkxcorex]

what the hell is the beginning lol

[ccile65]

How can you dislike this ? It's the first time that I see a lot of dislike in a video of Jesse..

[AbsoluteAngel4000]

<3 JESSE <3 AMAZING COVER - LOVE IT!!!

[10SamiG]

OMG. SHUT UP ALL OF YOU! Let him sing! He's amazing, & obviously it's not as good as the Beatles, because it's THEIR song, this is a COVER, not the ORIGINAL. STOP HATING HE'S PERFECT!!!!

[kikirestforever]

AHHHH HE SCREWED THE SONG UP T T SHUT THE FUCK UP JESSE MCCARTNEY

[LittleHotaruChan]

Obviously its not as good as the Beatles, you cant top the original of this song. But I can appreciate the spin he put on it. He took a classic and added a bit of soul to it, I enjoy listening to this version

[blueyou000]

even though he's cute, he should never sing this song his own version. even if he ends up in heaven or hell

[aarisdastuff]

Everyone just stfu...hes a musician...hes changing the style of this song in a way he feels its good. If you don't like his version just don't listen to it. Get the hell outta here

[kaquetube]

I HATE THIS 1:47

[pompeldemoes]

It is good in a weird way (:

[MrAMO73]

Truly horrible.

[Bastienfandemacca]

omg... Shut up and let Paul sing!

[muzikk67]

I'm a Jesse fan and I had to listen the original after listening to this to purify my ears. sorry

[klw134]

I like Jesse and his voice was good. However, there was NO emotion behind the lyrics at all. Listening to The Beatles sing it moves me to tears and it's just utterly beautiful. Listening to this I was just like "yeah his voice is ok" and didn't actually FEEL anything special.

[georgiahorton900]

i like jesse, but this song, the guitar and his voice dont go together at all.... :/

[guitarpic1000]

When artists to covers of other artists song they should do them in the own style, still keeping the original feeling of the song...this, however is the other end if the scale...I like to call it..."shit"

[nerdierthanlife]

This is not how this song was meant to sound...at all...Nope.

[glgolden93]

@MaRandomSaurus @swmr911--I have two things to say: one, you DO realize that Paul McCartney and Jesse McCartney are not related,right? And also, Paul McCartney is not dead. He is very much alive, and was recently on tour.

But good singing, nonetheless.

[AbiStanley27]

This blows.

[PKShowz]

Its a good cover but the beatles version of the song makes this cover pale in compairson, Face it people.

[SuckMySocks26]

Guys, seriously. This was an awesome cover. and I'm not just saying that because I like JMac. He was just playing around with a classic song, and he made it his own. You say that it's supposed to be a simple song, and that he misinterpreted the meaning. If it's so simple, how is there a meaning. The song still has the same lyrics. Just a different tune. So calm down.

[KarryUndercover7]

he's amazing <3

[druid80lvl]

so gay

[guitar2231]

What the f***

[heymikenadam]

=(

[j200ist]

This is ridiculous!

[swmrh911]

severe misinterpretation of the song.

[MaRandomSaurus]

@swmrh911 well.. i was his dad that sang the original... so i think he probably got the interpretation correct...

[swmrh911]

@MaRandomSaurus hmm seeing how Paul McCartney is dead, also there is no relation....That's highly improbable

[crazy4gymnastics2015]

omggg i luv it!

[crazy4shya]

@MrSnoopey whos gonna make me?? o thats right.. NOBODY!!(:

[memes5]

black bird dies in the end for this song

[XtraNormalVideos888]

-Sigh- Why can't Jesse replace Justin and not the other way around

[hemc88]

ahhh que cagada, si a esas vamos, mejor escucho a justin bieber

[crazy4shya]

wow... one word:  EWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSnoopey123]

@crazy4shya shut the hell up noone asked for your opinion!

[DuckysnPriests]

he destroyed a perfectely good song

[syzygydeb]

I've loved the Beatles since they came to America in the 60's and have never like a 'do over' of anything they sang...until now. Jesse brings soul and beauty to what was already beautiful and it is my favorite Jesse McCartney song. He is his dad's son.

[amindbody]

it's called a cover and jesse made a fine cover. no one has a monopoly on being a beatles fan and i'd assume jesse is, too, a fan and it's an homage to the beatles.

[12danieb12]

Beatles way better. Huge Jesse fan tho! He did an awesome job making it his own tho..and that takes a great singer

[TheJustintv3]

fuck that bitch!

[TheJustintv3]

the version of paul is better than the one of the fagette!!!!!

[angela135791]

paul mcCartney > jesse McCartney

[laurapattinson456]

I love this version 100000000000 ways more than the old one

[Chili1033]

WHAT DID YOU DO TO THIS SONG? IT WAS AWESOME , YOU DON'T TAKE A SAD SONG WITH OBVIOUS EMOTIONAL PAIN AND TURN IN TO POP!!!!!!

[transformertom93]

@Chili1033 if you think that this version is pop... you need to check up on your styles... this is jazz...

[flylers93]

everyone needs to relax. he did this song justice. a good cover, in my mind, is when you take a song that isnt exactly "your style," make it your own, and make it work. this is for sure a good cover.

[Rickenbacker3451]

@flylers93 not really..... hnjones754 got that rite :D

[guitarr44]

@flylers93 Shut up, we're stating our damn opinion about the song, that's the reason youtube has the feature to comment on videos. I, and most of us, believe this cover is absolutely terrible and disgraceful, so why don't you move along, little girl.

[Aknight292]

.....this is NOT the song i love.... what did he do to this masterpiece? why...just why?

[ItalianGabi5678]

Geez! I'm angered by all of the negative comments on this video! Seriously, Jesse does a great job with this song. His special twist to the song made it different and special in it's own way. Just because Jesse put out a cover of this song, does it in no way take away from the Beetles. If anything, it adds to the popularity of them! People will go looking for their version to compare. People should not be ridiculed for singing a song, putting on their own flavor, and enjoying it. Obviously, you

[muzikk67]

@ItalianGabi5678 obviously you know nothing about the BeAtles

[ThatOneMusicGuy789]

Oh God, child what have you done?

You took a brilliant song... and... you did this.

Why? What compelled you to make a song from the 60's hip?

I'm going to have nightmares.

[Ufcfan903]

i was searching if there were any good covers of this amazing song and all i can say is thanks for fucking up this song u have ruined this song for me you fag

[princessgdance]

I love Jesse but the Beatles and now Kurt have him

[sims123plyr]

He took, a really boring beatles song and made it AWESOME!! :D

[miki4088pen]

@sims123plyr fuck you

[jessemccartneyism]

@sims123plyr i agree. i LOVE this version <3

[MusiqueFille33]

He totally screwed with perfection..

[33Aniii]

how he can change the song!? i like jesse, but blackbird needs NO changes at all.

tha beatles <3

[Moira4TES4]

OK that is a total disgrace to the Beatles sure he has a voice but he doesn't know how to use it 

[icpnick02]

this is fucking awful... he has a voice but doesnt know how to use it affectivly. please don't attempt another beatles song again. thx

[iLoVeXyOuXD]

This beautiful song was ruined by a boy ( who does not sing better than Paul mcartney ) his voice is so annoying. Didn't finish it just paused it and wrote this comment about 50 seconds into it

[twss234]

5 people who think that Jesse sings this better than Paul McCartney deserve to be hanged in the middle of town square.

[14loppy]

It irritates me that people trash this version. I really love it, and for the person that said it angers them that it exist hunn its called a cover and I'm sure The Beatles put the song out not just for people to enjoy and get meaning out of it, but also for people to personalize and make it their own

[AnoniempjuUndercover]

this is the best version .

[zx10nm9ba33]

jesse sings this way better then Paul mc Cartney

[icpnick02]

@zx10nm9ba33 are you kidding me?

[zx10nm9ba33]

@icpnick02

yes i do, i am a big fan of Jesse mcCartney. Paul is not bad but different.

[91Yanks]

Words can't describe how unbelievably angry I am that this actually exists.

[username2185]

sorry, ruined it

[DCoscar10]

im sorry but he just ruin a good song

my opinion

[JensKristianDavidsen]

If you don't feel it, don't sing it.

[GWSRESPECT]

Made me think of Jason Mraz. This is great!

[feend0g]

Guaranteed John Lennon would not have discouraged this creativity.

[LoulouBeatles]

NOOOOOO Way!!!! This is a song of PAUL McCartney  not from JESSE McCartney....I'm ver angry right now..

[kylecj96]

the tune kills me dont change it pls.....great

[feend0g]

If John Lennon himself were alive, he would encourage this creativity as that is what real music is all about.

[CutePoison92]

The only Mccartney is Paul.

[CheerJaja]

He has a good voice, just not for this song. He took out all the meaning of the song that Paul had put there.

[feend0g]

Correct me if I am wrong but he came from a genre of artists who were pretty free in their speech and music. Don't hate his creativity, that is what musicians do. 

[crackmonkeymo]

This is one of my favorite beatles songs!! :)

Jesse has AMAZING vocals but i personally don't think that this is a good arrangement of this song...its too jazzy or poppy or something? I think it should be softer

[101lotusflower]

Drake Bell beats him !!!

[TheDell01]

Really people? No one said he was Jesse was trying to sing it better than the Beatles. People EVERYWHERE take songs from originals and try to make it their own or different. Goodness. It's not like he said himself, he was trying to be better.

[flyazn91]

this was a while ago, so i don't think he knew how to control his voice so it wasn't so nasally, i bet now he could sing it a lot better

[hnjones754]

Jesse can sing, but he took my favorite beatles song and tried to make it complicated and hip. It's supposed to be a simple song, with simple notes and a soft medley that reminds you of the blackbird in flight. soft and simple. No offense, but the beatles rocked this way better.

[comradeshow]

@hnjones754 couldn't agree more. he has a great voice, but this song is not as oul song. it is an acoustic folk song

[sunnygrl89]

@hnjones754 umm i dont know what you're talking about...jesse CANT sing but i agree with the rest of your statement :)

[hwesta123]

@hnjones754 If you've ever tried to play it on guitar you know its not simple xD and blackbird is about a black woman, ironicall :x

[xxmarena15xx]

are the 133 people who dislikes this deaf?

[iluffjmac1138]

ahhh, i miss these days of jesse..

my youtube name is still associated with him..

haha.. i was an obsessed little girl.

[TheBabygirl3464]

I love Jesse so much!!:D <333

[HaleyOakie]

Even after years, He still has that voice that gets to me, & them looks that turns me onnn. <3 He's been my soul mate since I saw him at like, 7 years old. :)

[babygurle85]

i think he did the damn thing......

[IpCrackle]

hey, McCartney totally killed McCartney...

does that mean Paul is dead?

[antiskeptic91]

still ammazinggg

[cheeelsey]

why mess with a classic?

[buffydu92]

he did a great job with that song , but he can't sing . Sorry , but nice job anyway.

[thekillerofthekiller]

EN VERDAD AMO ESTA CANCION PERO SIENDO HONESTOS

ESTE CHIKO LA HACE UNA COMPLETA BASOFIA (BASURA)

Q C PONGA A HACER SU PORKERIA D CANCIONES PERO Q NO

ARRUINE A LAS Q ENVERDAD SON BUENAS !!!!!!!!

[scott666white]

@thekillerofthekiller el es un gran cantante, que solo por que la cante bien o mal la canción original no se va a arruinar ..! .. y si no te gusta pues no lo veas y haz algo con tu vida,,, que esa si es una verdadera porkeria..!!

[thekillerofthekiller]

@scott666white

[SuperZardos]

I have nothing against Jesse, but the first thoughts in the first seconds of listening were: "Jesse, you have spoiled... oh, f*ck!!!!"

[lilsneez91]

We can all debate about the performance as much as we want, but I think what we need to remember is that he is praising the original in his own way. (That and he has good taste in music. Seriously, the Beatles will forever be EPIC!)

[madeinheavenx]

@lilsneez91 Of course. The Beatles have been covered by tons of today's artists. That's how you know they really were epic. One of the greatest bands of all time.

[driveofRS]

what an annoying, nasally tone.

[destiny21miller]

idc wat evryone else says this cover rocks....Jesse's vocal are awesome in this vid

[sk8terafl]

ok just becuse he has the MacCartney name he cant do a Paul MacCartney song. but i still think he is cute

[Anyla20]

i dont know what to say .

i mean its not bad .

its original so ill give him that

but paul's version was amazing

so its hard to match

[Basketballbabii101]

God guys... shut up. If u dont like him singing it... look up the BEATLES and stop wasting your time commenting crap about him.

[breendu79]

malisimo



[grullraid]

omg don`t sing please!!! .`(

[mitsukipuki]

Thank you Jesse for ruining my favorite Beatles's track

[Karlol100]

I admire people who cover songs, and make their own, original versions from it. However, The Beatles' music is so sublimely amazing that no-one should try to re-write. This is appalling, burn his eyes...

[MrsGeorgeHarrison777]

I like how he changed it up into his own style. But of course, The Beatles version is a gazillion times better :D

[lovedrake4ever]

he totally ruined the song!!!!

come on

this doesn't even sound like blackbird

if u want your own songs sound like this just do it

but please don't ruin THE BEATLES work!!!!

[kittyluver123567]

i ♥ him..but i dont rly like this song for him

thumbs up?

[alk61695]

what the fuck. jesse mccartney singing a paul mccartney song. dude, just stop trying to be something you are not. just because you have the same last name as a legend (why), that does not mean you go and start ruinening his songs. you just wish you have the same ability to write a song like that but you can't. so just stop.

[MsKristenJaymes]

@alk61695 i totally agree. i mean, he has an okay voice for HIS type of songs, but not this.

[musiccloverr95]

this might not of been the best song choice for him, but hey he was brave to give it a shot, and i mean he actually did do a good job! obviously its not as good as the original, but who can top the beatles anyways lol ..

AND, just because this isnt his best song, does not mean that he doesn't have an amazing voice :)

plus, i like how he put his own style into it :}

[donagusto1]

This guy have a good voice. But the real song... i don't know, make you calm down.

[texlonghorns112]

wow can you say a butchered beginning and the whole song. this isn't a happy song and he's making it seem like singing about this kinda thing is fun and enjoyable. This is about the death of a Black girl and her after life. only Paul can sing it and it will stay that way 

[MegTheOutsider]

this was terrible. :/

over sung.

butchered the beatles.

nice try. good voice,

but no. just no.

[DestinyAIM]

i wish he would have stayed that way all his life.. LOL

[spicfolife]

wow! thanks jesse for butchering the fuck out of that song, and that fag on guitar who obivously doesn't know the fucking song or chords. Paul mccartney should whoop your ass seriously. 13yr. old girls probably flick their bean while watching this

[jessemccartneyfan23]

i agree this might not be his best song choice, but its great how he made it different and his own style and not just follow the beatles. you guys gotta stop bein so negative like seriously its just a song and he did quite well, hes very talented. stop comparing him to paul mccartney because he does sing it better but jesse is not a bad singer hes got an amazing voice so stop hateing over ONE song ...... in my opinion it was great :) i like when ppl make songs their own !!

[7LovinDaLife]

@jessemccartneyfan23 yeah.. thats true. he has a talent that not many of us has.. He's the best :)

[jessemccartneyfan23]

@7LovinDaLife exactly haha :) he definitely is the best !!!

[adaxhiyoko]

@jessemccartneyfan23 this aint his own song this is pauls song and i adore this song my mum used to sing it me and this is NOT a good cover of it he don't know the chords or anything hes an amazing singer but not when it comes to this song!!! you may think its good but that just shows you have no taste in music!!!

[joriszsz]

i dont like him very much, but it's a good cover even if the original is way better...

[akeroxz]

he sings ok. but like a girl. and killed a great song! and the guitarist, he seems to be professional, how the f... could he did this to a great song... that blackbird can't fly anymore

[dozza8]

i might go kill myself but him first

[aquayla123]

OMG I HATE PEOPLE WHO TAKE SONGS AND ADD THINGS WITH THEIR VOICE. No offense for people who like this i just thought i would say that im very srry if i offended ANYONE.

[4540524]

no,seriously,this guy should be shot to death.he ruined it.

[Carolineissweet1]

GREAT

[mzllep0up3y]

Oh God ! He's so awesome :D

His voice is so Incredible ♥

[VampireEmo09]

He has distroyed this song i have always loved this song and clicked on this to see what it was like yeah he's a good singer but he just can't make this song pop it doesn't work

[adaxhiyoko]

@VampireEmo09 i totaly agree with you he has reked this song he is a good singer but he can't pull off this song as he is not one of the beatles!!!

[VampireEmo09]

@adaxhiyoko thank you

[jessshaun623]

He makes this song a lot happier than it's supposed to be... this is supposed to be an intimate deep song and he turned it into a meaningless pop song.

[JObutarimon]

fukn disgusting. KEFE.

[oneUNITED7SS]

His last name is as close as he'll get to greatness.

[pantostado7878]

¬¬?

[black653]

I dont think its bad, but Blackbird's really one of those untouchable songs, great vocals, bad song choice for changing to pop. STILL love U!!!!

[vikingodc]

sucking cover :S disgusting style. Yap, he's a good singer but wtf this song IS NOT POP.

[Mclovinn19]

eww

[theirishgirl19]

u know, i do recognize jesse mccartney's singing skills, but this is just wrong. u can't just turn an awesome beatles song into pop. if john lennon heard this i bet he'd be turning in his grave

[adaxhiyoko]

@theirishgirl19 thats exactly what i think!!!

[Garyinspired95]

not aweful, but I'm sorry son, your no Paul McCartney. at least you take an intrest in actual music

[MusicKidYeah]

i like the beginning part when he does the vocals

[playmymusicNOW]

his vocals are good, just not the song for him tho i think. beatles rock forever :)

[8ttavinius]

Horrible cover...

[VanNicky75]

JeSSe mCcArTeNy SuCkS. jUsT BeCaUsE hE LoOkS gOoD dOeSn'T mAkE hIm A gOoD sInGeR!

[jessh2008]

Jesse's amazing. He's sooooooo talented! <3 :-) , x

[dozza8]

@jessh2008 my dog has more talent than that twat

[jessh2008]

@dozza8 Whatever. You know I don't agree with you & I know he's not a twat but I'm not gonna argue. That's just pathetic just like you tryin' to!

[dozza8]

@jessh2008 he could be a twat for all you know , have you met him

[jessh2008]

@dozza8 No, I've not but I know he's not a twat. I know loads about him, I know his personality, I know of everything he does for charity & I know what he's achieved in his life. He's a good person with incredible talents.

[xooamandaxoo]

@dozza8 lol your a hater. if you really dont like it, dont watch it. but he did a very good job with this cover. so suck it.

[JMacLover1996]

no it doesnt, his voice does! duh! and he has an amazing voice! and yes! he is sexyyyyyy!!!!!!!

[sheleem]

Crap.
