Poor Jack- Plain White T's Version

[EGGZiX]

Eh, I don't feel the emotion as much as Jack. :c

[YuukoDreams]

THIS IS SO CUTE!!! I mean they did a great job :D i like it owo

[elfcrazy87]

That was awesome! I love hearing the different versions of these songs

[tbonbrad]

Image how good this song would be if it was covered by the used! Why would it be so awsome? Well because unlike the singer of the plan white t's, the singer of the used has a fantastic voice and can emote. The same can be said for AAR's cover.

[missingyou90s]

This was my favorite part in the movie this song owns!

[PuppyPal1000]

Its a lot better than some other artists have done, in my opinion anyways

[RileyheartsAshley]

Ruins the emotion in the song...

[MattaDeKazeo]

I love at 1:27 *_*

[Rockin60s70s80s]

Best freaking movie ever!!!!

[TheMonstersinmyattic]

i really hate the Plain White's T but this is an amazing cover

[petesgurl101]

I'm not saying I like this version better, but for all the haters of this version, it's simple...DON'T LISTEN TO IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!

[skidoo200845]

Great song <3 i like danny elfman but this version is good too

[irishluv96]

most artists changed it up, i don't think they changed it a lot... doesn't appeal to me :/

[WabashMan1989]

@Anonymous6131995 You must have never listened to the original version. The Plain White T's version is so superficial; "Poor Jack" simply does not work in an alternative style.

[WabashMan1989]

They killed this song. Seriously. A lackluster interpretation that strips the original tune of its intensity and feeling.

[damienrebirth]

not bad, but not deep enough for jack(just my opinion)

[EvilBunnyism]

They do this really good, nice beat, but of course no one can top Danny Elfman

[xchucktatorshipx]

@EvilBunnyism john williams beats danny elfman any day of the week.

[TheLolpan45]

Not to hate, But The Nostalgia Critic Did better than them. |:¬D

[FowlGirl613]

@ClassicGamer102 taught*

And they meant well

[darkfranklin12]

MsLinklover101 is right

[CollisionStar]

After the shamble of Tyson Ritter on 'Jack's Lament', this is refreshingly better.

[musicfreak3606]

I love this cover!

[musicfreak3606]

I love there version :)

[BeefBastard]

@musicfreak3606 Their* but agreed.

[ClassicGamer102]

Jack:Nobody really understood

You live in a town where the children are tawt to horrify people why do you think they'd do well bringing joy?

[Oprahruru]

@ClassicGamer102 Clearly they're not taught to spell.

[PsychedelicFunkLover]

I am still amazed at how well this movie turned out ! EPIC ! Seen it over 30 times and love it ! I like this redo on this and some of the other's.... this song reminds me of.... dang... that one line is ..... can't think what it reminds me of, but.. yeh

[luckycalico13]

they did an awesome job, as did all-american rejects :D

[DreamAngela23]

Danny Elfman ROCKS!! but these redos aren't too bad...

[SuperRianne01]

i freaking love this movie i always have

[laundry9870]

I can teach this guy how to sing this song and imma gurl

[Fluteplayingbandgeek]

@laundry9870 AMEN! i was thinking the same thing

[Samusownz]

this reminds me of a renaissance music

[sonicfan11221]

nightmare before christmas is the best halloween movie ever

[PsychedelicFunkLover]

@sonicfan11221  SURE IS !!!!

[CPPenguinPranks]

They shouldn't sing this.

[DrumBass4ever]

God every time Halloween comes around the first thing i do is ask my mom "Wheres Nightmare Before Christmas DVD?" I am 15. Ever since i watched it ealier on I loved it its my favorite. Me and my friends preformed Kidnap the Sandy Claws for a Halloween Party i was Shock we got first place o3o

[ThroughTheDarkness13]

HE IS THE BUNANA KING!!!

....i mean pumpkin king O_o

[Fluteplayingbandgeek]

@ThroughTheDarkness13 HEY WATCH IT! dont steal mah title man! I AM THE BANANA KING,,,,,,well the MAGiC BANANAS king

[ThroughTheDarkness13]

@Fluteplayingbandgeek Lies! there is no such thing as the "magic" banana king....u feed me lies sir!

[WerewolfofDawn]

@ThroughTheDarkness13 He IS the bunana king!

[HomieG2007]

For the dvd special features they should have put in the option of choosing between playing the movie with the original score or this album

[chicavampiro]

After listening to Elfman's perfection and feeling, everything seems not quiet right.

[heartcoreprincezz]

that sounds really great!

[12345678912345678483]

@2daysnightmare and nothing will ever replace it

[2daysnightmare]

@12345678912345678483 So very true!

[idateawesomeninjas]

wow i cant believe Plain White T's did this..... it is really good! i am never going to think of Nightmare Before Christmas the same because of ALL the remakes of the songs...... they were all amzing!

[Haseotoramaki99]

@idateawesomeninjas You haven't heard the sparklehorse version of Jack's obsession have you?

[temarifan987]

I think it's bullshit that barely any kid watched this movie. I, Seriously as a kid, watched it every Halloween And Christmas. And I know many other people who did the same as kids.

[ItsLikeMagiic]

@temarifan987

I watch it even when it isn't halloween or christmas :P

[2chrono2]

@temarifan987 I did the same thing. :D I used to watch it almost every week.... But I wore out my VHS tape..... So to preserve it until the DVD came out for the anniversary I began to watch it only on those two dates.

[Wishy4Lyfe]

@temarifan987 luckily I went from VHS around halloween time until new years :P then when my tape started waring down I waited until it came on DVD but I could only ever find blue ray -.- but! I have DVR :D now I watch it almost every night, singing to all these songs :P

[canadianwin]

When I first saw this movie I was hiding behind my couch... This would've made me much less scared(then again, I was like 5).

[Fluteplayingbandgeek]

.......my oppinion.....i liked Danny's voice better.....it's just....this sounds too much like a teenage boy is singing it......jack is supposed to sound like.....more sinister and a like twenty year old man.

[KHRoxasLove]

I love this version. Yeah, they don't have Danny Elfman's range, but they make it their own. It sounds more like a story when they sing it, not just a song.

[Belletryst]

This singer sounds campy. The original wasn't campy.

[The911blossomdance]

@xGuignolx oh thanks

[cdi2697]

They are ok, but they don't have Danny Elfman's range, they can't hit the low notes.

[RavenShadows1000]

luv it

[LittleSnitter]

this version is really poor...o_O' not cool!

[judysama]

I have already decided my wedding is going to be The Nightmare Before Christmas themed. That is when I do get married

[The911blossomdance]

i felt just like my old boney slef again after hearing this  xD

[xGuignolx]

@The911blossomdance *Self.

[michanxstatus]

he did such a great job singing it, kept to the spirit of the song and owned it~

[MsLinklover101]

They sing it good but i don't think anyone could sing it better than Danny Elfman

[LysergicFuneral]

@MsLinklover101 completely agree

[MsLinklover101]

They sing this very well : D

[TheSplatterKill]

I love this album -3

[MikeIsEvil]

The most emotional song of the movie given to a singer who can't even grasp half of the emotion. Such a wasted opportunity! Ugh.

[fahagariea]

i remeber in like 3rd grade i was singing this song and this is holloween in choir to my teachers and class mates...now im in an insain asylum hahahahahaha

[disneyshoregal]

@fahagariea hilarious :/ actually, that's sad. I'm sorry.

[bloodredmoon1993]

love how he pronounces some words of the song

[valentinecrosset]

i dont remember this song in the movie o.o.....or game

[TheKidYouDontLike]

@valentinecrosset It's the song Jack sings in the graveyard in the human world after his sleigh is shot down.

[musicismyife14]

Piss.

[slljarvis]

I think the film is the best musical I've ever seen, the songs are so clever and fun. I don't normally like musicals. I think this band did a very good job and his voice suits the song. Ignore the trolls, they get everywhere.

[loudlatina]

they did a good job

[TheTumTimTum]

piece of shit version lmao

[Axeliona]

HEY! NO dissing ANYONE who does this...okay, check that Sparklehourse sucked...but c'mon, Plain White T's aren't half bad at this.

[TrueDeath46]

IDK what you blimy bastards are thinking in saying this version suck, or it's horrible. I love this movie, I've watched it quite a bit, I love the songs and I know most of them by heart, I can play the whole bloody movie in my head, songs and all, and I'd say that this is a fairly good rendition of the song, now I'll agree it's not as good as the original, but you must admit that seeing as how NO ONE will ever be as good as the original that all things considered, this rendition isn't that bad.

[TheEnseo]

I love this movie! It is still my favorite movie, guys look stop hating! These guys are doing very good tributes!! Okay, this is an amazing movie, if you haven't seen it I highly suggest it!

[CourtneyR97]

this film is my all time favourite. Danny Elfman is better at it though. good try :)

[KayeBitchMurder]

Horrible version.... Gag

[misslaughoutloudgir]

JAck reminds me of Chiaroscuro.

[nickygirl192]

Well, it's not the worst song I've ever heard, they could do better, but I thought it was okay. Sorry, haven't seen the movie in forever so at the moment it doesn't sound like crap. Maybe after I watch the movie it will.

[Mrnasty37]

well this isnt the worst remake ive seen

[DarkAvengerVIM]

@turquoisesurprise Normally, I would. But I live with this kid. But I get what you mean. Thank you!

[DarkAvengerVIM]

Not a fan. Not at all. But then, no one could equal The Elf Man!

[MissMarientose]

I'm listening to these tracks, and the only one I've truly liked so far is Amy Lee's version of Sally's Song. Most of these are a bit... :/

[ShesSoHipster69]

I used to be so obsessed with this movie when I was like a toddler x) And I still love it to this day♥

This si an awesome soundtrack too :)

[2daysnightmare]

Nightmare before christmas has been my favorite movie since the first time I saw it

[KeLsOLoLz]

@2daysnightmare me too

[spike354]

@2daysnightmare same here man

[MsHimynameisawsome]

I was one of those kids who loved the movie before these posers liked it because it was popular at the moment and they knew NOTHING AT ALL about the movie while I know almost everything about it

[zeldafreak000]

@MsHimynameisawsome

I watched it every day when i was 3...

i still love the movie....

jack sparrow is best jack? Bitch please....

[MissMarientose]

@MsHimynameisawsome Preach it, girl! :D original fans unite! I remember watching this movie on VHS every Halloween and Christmas :P

[DarkAvengerVIM]

@MsHimynameisawsome I saw this movie in theaters when it was first released. I went AS Jack Skellington for the following Halloween. Thanks to this movie and The Crow I spent my high school years as a semi-goth. Trust me, I understand EXACTLY what you mean. I have to listen to someone who never saw the movie until they re-released it in 3D tell me that they're a bigger fan than me...funny how that happens.

[MadelishaofFantage]

i hate it when the top comments are @ someone it really bothers me.

[Bro00017]

the music reminds me of the music from the scilent hill games.

[moonstone1988]

@Seraph825 so very tru i loved this since i was a kid when i first watched it at christmas time, i remba my dad askin me if i wanted to watch it cause it might have been a little scary, now im 23 and cant wait to get my kids to watch it! hate hangers on who have just come in and tell is die hard fans how we should like this movie

[jaspergaffney]

this is awesome

[brandontimm1001]

why cant they get good bands to redo these good songs ? a bit weak

[InSaNiAc1000]

@brandontimm1001 Why can't your mother be any good in bed? abit slack

[ThePageOfRandomness]

i love how all of these versions make the originals sound like crap... PERSONAL THOUGHT!!!

[lolzkitty101]

@sandcoffinmaster nono this is poor jack "Jacks lament "there are few who deny that what i do i am the the best" thats the first line

[MrJaxboy]

@sandcoffinmaster Re-watch the movie then say that again, kay?

[InSaNiAc1000]

@sandcoffinmaster You sir are an idiot

[Starscream66778]

I love the......Original version, but other then I that, i love all the other Revisited ones.....

[funnygal1111]

i know most people love the original movie i do to but i dont go around saying that these versions are crappy because they're too fast or theres not enough emotion yes sparklehorse's version of jacks obession is horrid but other than that the others arent half bad

[ImginationEscape97]

Dude , Amazing . <3

[AkeelaPyro]

@sandcoffinmaster Jack's Lament is when he was all sad about being bored about being the Pumpkin King. All American Rejects did a cover of that one.

[stormlefty4life]

@sandcoffinmaster Um...this is not Jack's Lament

[tdaman123]

jack is better

[BriannaaNicolex]

i like the part where he sings

[froggermea96]

@1:55 and after it gets reallly realllllly awseome

[TestaXDizzy]

Like this if you get on youtube every day.

[MILTONKAPLANIDIS]

Rise Aginst shouldve done this that wouldve been hardcore

[HopefulOTaKu]

LOVE THIS!

[firen99]

the part i didnt like was jacks lament being done by aar

[22Darius221]

well i liked everyones cover of all the songs on this album..

[miaKayotoAnimeLuver]

i luv the movie its scary on a kittys standered, but when i was little it made me cry of fearXD

[stuffrocks123]

i liked it :3

[LuckyLolita243]

No one can remake this song since the original music and singer were PERFECT.

Plain White T's? Honestly,how did you even make it onto the CD? If I had been their supervising the creation of these remakes I might have beaten you out of the studio with Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise.

I may be harsh on this but...god that was just...terrible.

[gigachamp]

STOP KILLING IT

STOP JUST STOP GET BACK MARILYN MANSON HE DID IT THE BEST

[TehRantare]

@gigachamp Lies. Amy Lee with Sally's Song is the best on the CD. Probably the only good thing on this CD. And I like some of the other bands here. Marilyn Manson shouted the lyrics into the mic and shat out some guitar riffs. But at least it wasn't Sparklehorse. Ugh.

[Tweakedunique]

Like it, but its to fast for my taste. ... and not enough emotion

[DarkFairy207]

I've loved this movie ever since I was a little girl. I loved it way before it became such a huge deal now a days. Still my favorite movie ever, i watch it every halloween.

[randomOVERrandomness]

I liked nightmare before christmas before it went mainstream. o.o lololol I'm just kidding.. but seriously. O.O

[pemdas927]

Too fast.

[Lovidem]

I'm not gonna lie, I did only watch this movie because of the trend. But I still fell in love with it just the same. It just took other people loving it for me to even know about it :)

[Songforabrokenheart]

I remember how this movie used to scare me when I was a little kid. Now that I'm older I feel like I can actually appreciate it all and it's one of my favorites.

[itzddavid]

i love this movie. ive currently watched it 20 times. xD

[toxicemogummybears]

i was a little kid when the movie came out. i used to watch it all the time. over and over. i loved the music and now that its change with the rock verisons i like it so much more.

[Wyllram]

The actual movie came out my birth year, it's my favorite movie of all movies i've seen so far. Taking a look at the remakes to see if there's something good mostly xD Not much, really... I prefer the originals for almost all of them.

[GirlsThatGrowl17]

Ahh! I love his version I get chills :c

[MrAnarchist17]

everyone i feel we should bow our silence because i great number has been butchered

[shortyemogurl]

How come when everyone hears a slow sad song or a metal sad sounding song they always bring up the word 'emo'? We aren't 'emo' as you say. We are original. And we have the guts (or the balls) to express our feelings and try to get help. While others bottle it up inside. I know some very happy original people out there. And I'm one. But these comments about 'emos' makes me angry and depressed. Because apparently cliques is all you f**king people think about!

[GraciRules25]

I NEED this cd!!!

[thelonewalker1]

this version is rather... well... crap.

[animeotaku35]

maybe it would've been better if someone else had sung it instead....

[EternalShadow50]

I almost never dislike things, but this sounds horrible!

[DramaMajor713]

Oh my Burton. Make it stop. He sounds like a teenage Jack who hasn't learned the meaning of "too melodramatic" yet..

[Girzdabest13]

He could be the replacement of Jack! Thumbs up for yes and thumbs down fro no *NOT SPAM! JUST ANSWER THE FREAKIN' QUESTION!!*

[CharlesFoxKays]

"That's right, I AM THE PUMPKIN KING! HA HA HA HA!" ... Damn that was epicly sung...

[powa2dapeople]

i love this song

[sango180]

i love jack skellington!!!! <3

[foojuice101]

@poligota5

Thank you for your...er..."respectful" disagreement. XD

[gglilg500]

@foojuice101 LOL I laughed after reading the "Respectful" disagreement xD

[toolworks]

Great cover, didnt destroy any of the emotion behind the original :)

[TheaterGeek91]

Of course, I prefer the original but I love that they didn't stray too far from the original. He was the best choice for a remake. Very nice. ^.^

[racepoltergeist]

It sounds like hes arguing himself

[SpikeFancier]

Best christmas horror ever for my childhood.

[basisti94]

Who singed this song? Singer doesn't like lead singer from Plain White T's

[racepoltergeist]

@basisti94 its the Plain White T's. Its just hes not really known for singing like this so its hard to recgonize his voice

[LiLSteffie940]

@basisti94 it doesn't sound like him right?1?! and like.. i didn't know he can go that deep..

[masha666elf]

this version is quite nice, although the original singer has a much better voice. .: ) but guitar is better here ^^

[Ulron1]

Jesud, did they purposefully pick the crappiest singers to do this album? Cause they raped my memories of the songs! How the hell did they turn Danny Elfman, into this crap?!

[matrix86]

@Ulron1 Indeed. The only song I really like is Amy Lee's version of Sally's Song. Fall Out Boy's version of What's This was good (MUCH better than Flyleaf's) but Sally's Song is the only one that I actually rate at the same level as the original. But Amy has an advantage over everyone else...she has that natural haunting sound in her voice making it perfect for Sally's Song.

[PlusleCutie]

@Ulron1 well u dnt have to make it rude. Some people like me like them. They're my "scary songs" cuz they're so epic

[Ulron1]

@PlusleCutie Sorry but epic? This crap?

[PlusleCutie]

@Ulron1 Sorry but crap? This epicness?You must be tone-deaf. This is so good.

[gtamythmaster43]

@Ulron1 Your taste's crap.

[kiraracutie44]

Why does nothing ever turn out like it should?
