His voice in this version is nice, very pleasant, but the girl with all of the effects and volume is overpowering and distracting.
and the added power to his voice towards the end is nice but it would have been better if the instrumentation somehow got stronger too, because it seems like he's just sort of yelling uselessly. like, only the vocals got stronger, but the entire song itself didn't pick up.
no to what? everyone has an opinion but at least back it up, or else it just looks like people are talkin' out of their arse. Or do you mean to?
also, i'm guessing it's just a bunch of dashboard fangirlies and boys up here, because i gave both good and bad points about this song along with my opinion, but apparently by the thumbs downs and hidden comment, i'm not allowed to have a different view.
I have nothing against Dashboard confessional, but thats really just immature and closeminded. :/
i give credit where its due, and im a die hard =w= fan. this is a well put together cover, and while its vocals and music give a great tribute to the orginal, i dont think anything can surpass rivers and the gang.
i wouldnt be upset with this version on a playlist, but extra points to those that can recognize where this song comes from and who did it first.
This version is alright, but I think that Weezer's version is much better, both acoustic and electric. Their just isn't enough passion in Dashboard's version. Plus, when it comes down to it, Dashboard didn't write or have anything to do with this song, their only covering it.
I don't know about that. Listen to Weezer's own acoustic version of Jamie. It's beautiful, leaps and bounds ahead of Dashboard's, and even dare I say rivals that of the original full band version.
uh jellosinger6. weezer is the original artist of this song so you being wrong and adding all the exclamation points just makes you look stupid and shows your lack of music knowledge. get your facts straight before you say stuff like that. and by the way, just because someone sings it better does not mean they wrote it. duh.
I absolutely love this song. I had never heard it before until my friend Matt played and sang it for me, because Jami is my name. He actually mixed a little of this and a little of Weezer's original to make a really good version. Let's meet in the middle, people!
I would get your facts right first singerjello6, Weezer's version is the original, it was one of the first songs they wrote. Dashoboard confessional are massive Weezer fans, or at least I assume they are as they cover El Scorcho and Jamie.
no im pretty sure even the low quality acoustic live version i have is better then this. the girl in this song is way to distracting. and he of course drowns a perfectly good song with Emo scream. not bashing that but in every song. . . give it a rest life dosnt suck that much.
erm... why did you use sharktale for the animation? i think that was a bad decision, i would have chosen something romantic, or cute that had to do with a boy liking a girl but them being separated, which sharktale has nothing to do with.
i didnt know that. i always thought that DC started. when i heard weezer sang it today, i was like " who started this song?" i thought it must be a 60's song.lol good to know who actually started it, thanks.
Woo for Jamies! :D

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
SHAWNMCDUFFIE 2 years ago
He's talking about how the song is originally by Weezer. (Not to mention, it's better.)
Actually, it's split into two different songs by Rivers Cuomo and Matt Sharp- Jamie, and Jamie II, also called Mrs. Young.
Jamie II/Mrs. Young was later rewritten by Matt Sharp, and used for The Rentals' first album.
I hate how everyone is all like "wtf wezr didn rite dis theyr gay", when really Dashboard isn't all that good of a band.
Also, please don't type in caps- it's very annoying.

they change the lyrics around 2:49 where they say "you are the most, your so bad, your so fresh and I'm so glad."
It is not the same and has a totally different meaning than Weezer's.
The original lyrics are "You are the most your so rad, your so fresh and I'm so bad."
