Jamie T - A new England

[iRafflez]

okay so these haters are 40 year old men who haven't bought an album made after britpop?

[SaintAlexHesketh]

never listened to Jamie t b4 but he's genuinely ruined this song

[BeatsAndPulses]

@SaintAlexHesketh You should listen to his stuff, its pretty decent (in my opinion) try going in with an open mind, it's difficult if you think he's ruined a song you like though

[nourisaoudi]

hate it when people think they love jamie t and yet they can only name 3 of his songs 'sheila' 'sticks and stones' and 'if you got the money' .... look a bit deeper!!

[muzzlord]

this boy it so fucking talented

[Salfordcityradio944]

bloody awful version

[lorrainek70]

i like jamie t but he ruined this song

[xXm4ttuXx]

@lorrainek70 yep the other version is better :/

[louisscott1]

'im not looking for a new england, just looking for another girl'. his style bare suits this song

[gbr9961]

Prefer Billy Brags verision but this is still brilliant!

[deginner]

Uncle Brian still do the best version......

[louisscott1]

he crosses like 3 genres every tune he sings

[britishwarrior19]

absolute fucking class Jamie-T total fucking pleaser lol

[sunburntgirl96]

I love you  Jamie T

[BiffyBiro]

always so many decent covers of this song.

[paigerm123]

you're my main man Jamie. i wanna see you again x

[thewelshswanny]

why would would you do it Jamie. lot to live up to and fail basically. People, please check out Billy Braggs original. that is all.

[duds18289]

@thewelshswanny

dude bragg is bragg. but this is just jamies' interpretation of the song, so how's he fail? also if you'd rather the song and sentiment fade and not be heard by fresh ears then your hardly a fan?..

[fredsta500]

@thewelshswanny Personally i prefer his version. But both are awesome and it takes a lot of balls to cover such a great song that has the potential to make you fall flat on your face

[3141592654ify]

honestly listened to this 8 times in a row

[guncha4263]

half nelson

[lpgouge]

great

[CARWYYN]

Just lookin for another girl... Who agrees???

[xlizzyx]

Love this version, and Billy Braggs of course but I think I must be the only one that really dislikes the Kirsty Maccoll version I just thinks it lacks the emotion that Billy Bragg and Jamie T have in their versions.

[MsLiveinmusic]

@xlizzyx You're not only one. For me personally, Jamie's is strides better than the original and Kirsty's.

[xlizzyx]

@MsLiveinmusic I agree his is so much more emotional than the other versions

[MsLiveinmusic]

@xlizzyx Yeah, exactly :)

[Manovmilk]

@DuskTillDrawn Fucking hate it when I click on a jamie t video and jamie t starts singing.

Oh no wait, I'm not a total retard...

[BrokenBrother]

of course he's from bladdy Landan But....hes's picked up some other vowels along the way maan! I played with Billy Bragg (well not played..) supported him during miner's strike you know. Jamie's version is fackin good.

[rexhead]

THAT WAS BLOODY YESTERDAY

[1991NickC]

no where near the origional, but its a good cover, nice one jamie

[TheAbc123joker]

his northan voice suits this song so well :')

[TheALICEbX]

@TheAbc123joker northern accent? pretty sure hes from London..

[TheAbc123joker]

@TheALICEbX oh sorry i though he was from the north oh well lol

[bigbosh147]

@TheAbc123joker i dont think its possible to get more of a southern accent

[2JMace]

@TheAbc123joker You're obviously not from london...

[TheAbc123joker]

@2JMace True. 

[FarmerHeard]

let us never forget the opening line is Paul Simon's from The leaves That Are Green

[randomchild81]

The first time I heard this, I didn't like it. Listening to it again, I do like it. Not as much as Billy's, but I still do like it. It's an amazing song, and Billy, Kirsty and Jamie have all given it a different feel. Yeah, I do prefer the original, but this is still a good little song :)

[fry1820]

i think any one who covers this song is great, the song stands on its own

[shoreditchsamurai]

Good version but still nothing beats kirsty mac colls.

[bioshockt]

How about fuck you all for not letting someone have their own opinion. Jamies version and Billys are different, so what. Jaimes seems more heartbroken, where as Braggs sounds like an Irish rebel song (like a lot of his music, not a bad thing) Everyone has a preference, let em be.

[mrcairns007]

Jamie T did a good job with this cover, adds his own style to it whilst keeping the spirit of Bragg's original, if anyone ruined this it was The Enemy

[YesITalk2Much]

Beautiful! Typical jamie. Wether its a ballad or a rap, something punk, Or something inbetween, he's perfect. There is already a place called new england though.

[lionleobow]

I always prefer original songs because it comes that persons heart that that's what music is about, but a cover is not stealing, its showing admiration.

[lionleobow]

nice and simple

[1lonzdale]

Well, I saw two shooting stars last night

I wished on them, but they were only satellites

It's wrong to wish on space hardware

I wish, I wish, I wish you cared

[DeathByDohnuts]

Jamie T is so under rated it makes me sick.

[barredfrompup]

@DeathByDohnuts Don't say that, before you know it there will be 12 year olds like "i heard him first, i'm his biggest fan" like mac miller for example

[karlmarx71]

Shit dude thats sacrilege...terrible!!

[jcmusic93]

This is good.... but King Blues version every day

[SamuelDavidHooper]

@jcmusic93 up yours motherlicker!

[jcmusic93]

@SamuelDavidHooper Even though TKB version is clearly better? okay sure.

[Conzy210]

@jcmusic93 As if the King Blues could ever produce anything decent, nevermind better than Jamie T.

[emilysingsalot]

just uploaded a little cover of this song, please please have a quick listen :)

[Ungortable]

.......killed it

[pragmatismnotidealis]

Jamie T has got some decent tunes. But he royally fucked this one.

[junkbag]

Ahmen to that

[robaji3000]

Great song! Actually the opening line of this song is borrowed from Paul Simon's song Leaves That Are Green, from the Sound of Silence album.

[CHIP135791]

ye but billy bragg wrote it for Kirsty MacColly, he went round to her house in the morning and she cooked him a fr up and he wrote the rest of the song for her in lyrics that she could she could sing...

also i shit u not my daddy used to go out with Kirsty for a bit

[MultiJimR]

i think its just the lyrics and the tune that make this song, not who sings it or how they sing it

[bodebennet]

i heart this song. <3

[Bilzerkliet]

@BaM123456789o there is only one legend here: Billy Bragg!!!

[Bilzerkliet]

Damn, how did he manage to make this great song suck?! 

[docko84]

@Bilzerkliet

[paintball31]

sucks

[42n0rris]

i quite like jamie t but this is shit!

[cawthy07]

im a massive fan on jamie t but this isnt anywhere near as good as kirsty macolls

[Elliot9UK]

100th like :P love it :)

[Elliot9UK]

i love all versions of this song tbh :P

[CardiffBoy1927]

Sounds like my paperboy singing it while fixing his bike :)

[sharice87barnes]

THE KING BLUES DID A VERY GOOD VERSION. IM NOT BOTHERED I JUST LOVE THE SONG IN GENERAL... GREAT WORDS.

"ITS WRONG TO WISH ON SPACE HARDWARE" LOVE IT!

[ZLUGGO]

Ever considered bricklaying?

[harroXD]

why is jamie t such a legend?

[wagwenblad]

SHIT FACE

[cooperk937]

gay boy, why ruin the song?

[BaM123456789o]

@cooperk937 why do you have to ruin your life by complaining on peoples vids ( when you make as much money as jay T come back to me and bitch he's clearly good and your not cos he's signed to a record label and your stuck in your shitty house on youtube bitching about ledgends in there own rights so belt up soft lad ) :)

[pursey2]

Massacre.

[mrtictac94]

Umn... What?

[Original1995]

This Is Better Than Billy Bragg Himself!!

[chazman1988]

@Original1995 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ha

[scarecrowe94]

brilliant

[jemmaaw]

im in love (L) this is amazing! :)

[CountryQuestion]

This cover is just brilliant, he took a song with great lyrics and added his own interpretation. Jamie T and Billy Bragg are legends

[Sopphhx3]

Jamie FUCKING T (L)(L)(L)

[AJPLJSS]

This whole "He ruined a great song" is shit.

The lyrics are still amazing, well done to Billy Bragg to writing them.

Jamie and Billy both have the type of raw singing type where they WANT you to focus on the lyrics, frankly i don't see how they're too different and it's a bit silly to say the song is killed.

Love them both.

[samie0569]

bollocks

[jStrat7]

interesting arrangement (if that's what you call it), but...uh... i don't like it.

[Clumziigal]

shhhish... this song is bad

[CountryQuestion]

But they were only Satellites! It's wrong to wish on space hardware?

[nickfergusonandco]

PHWORRRRRRRRRR what a hanging voice

[paully1969]

Jamie... u r so talented mate x

[Xen1aserman]

ruined a great song

[alvhildt]

wow this is horrible

[maginessness]

BEAUTIFUL

[eyelashBABES]

after hearing this cover i have realised i'm in love with jamie t.

[gingerbyotch]

jamie t's version is best. no doubt.

[jmull03]

why does everyone think this is a billy bragg song it was kirsty maccoll who's verson is still the best but jamie t is a close second

[jmull03]

turns out i was wrong...............still bill bragg verson is still third in line

[Wilkie93]

its a billy bragg song because he wrote it!

[ciansothern]

going too see jamie T tonightt :D

[StPierreGSP]

this would have sounded great if it was the same arrangement as the original.

[lamplighteyes]

This is bad. And by bad I mean actually bad, not bad as in good.

[FEUDER]

billy bragg couldn't sing for shit and still can't !

i agree he was good still

but jamie t made this song his own !

[ciansothern]

are you pissed he has a class voice!

[Thejuniorblurb]

@FEUDER no billy bragg is awsome but jamie t is awsome to and billy can sing his style is original im very sry u cant see that and i feel sry for u on the other hand this song is awsome

[oasismad4]

@FEUDER dumbass billy bragg is a ledgend jamie t is an arrogant nob hed

[tjdrico]

@FEUDER If anyone made this song their own, it was Kirsty MacColl.

[beckley011]

@tjdrico like fuck, it's originally billy bragg's and he sings it best

[tjdrico]

@beckley011 It's Bragg's yes, but he can't sing for shit. Kirsty MacColl's version has far more to it. 

[onemonthago]

billy bragg it is much better but jamie t it is good

[xLucyx976]

Really goodd, i like it (: xxx

[IHatePeopleDontTalk]

Billy Bragg is better

By Far

[bigcallll9]

obv billy bragg is better but jamie t is still ace like

[seeallsaynothin]

[arcticmonkeystrokes]

BILLY BRAGG + JAMIE T (L)

[AztekPB123]

Love it! This guy needs so much more recognition

[thebadweekend]

[RaiyuXI]

Wtf you on about, he was already famous you fucking retard. Like to hear you cover this and put it on YouTube. Prick!

[thebadweekend]

[thomasc096]

[nataliaaEllison]

He's not inde, he's hardley that famous, and what fame he does have is certainly not through this song.
