James Morrison busking in Birmingham city centre 5 (Once When I was Little)

[bboyanis1]

wow so cool music

[AwesomeAssassin1000]

those 4 dislikes are from tramps who didnt get given money

[ZzShaKzZ]

Wow I think this is the only YouTube video where a busker is getting money... Shame he doesn't need it. Fucking humanity!

[graemesaysrawr]

@ZzShaKzZ He's raising money for charity not for himself...

[Greezball86]

the ' LIKE ' button just got a raping, great singer

[Afewdollarsmore1]

unique voice! great artist full of emotion in the voice and music

[AnkhMorpork1]

I love the awkward walk everyone does to give money. And the parents send their kids :P

[joannakatewallace]

people are only giving him money because he's famous lol.

[tomdavies00]

@joannakatewallace It's for charity so who cares

[dogmanofdenstroude1]

Fantastic! shame more well known stars dont do this kind of thing now and then and give back to the public who helped them become famous a free concert, well done James.

[cluedo1]

@dogmanofdenstroude1 Damien Rice, Glen Hansard, Bono (of U2),... busk every Christmas eve on Grafton Street in Dublin to raise money for social projects.

You should check this out: watch?v=WjB1M51PplA

[dogmanofdenstroude1]

@cluedo1 Thanks for the link, something i didn,t know good for them. Live music is great.

[karenroxanne]

as soon as he started singing, i got teary. i love jm!!

[owocowa761]

He's the only singer who makes me cry so many times. I don't know how he do this, but his songs are really beautiful. His every song is saying something. Something true ;) Sometimes my throat is constricted and i can't say anything.

Well, yes. I can say it - James Morrison is incredible ;)

[anoobymous]

Advert: In 1..2..3..4..5 (One day you wake up, you're 45. So what you gonna do?)

Me: Rappidly with the speed of light clicking on skip advert button!

[Akira4071]

thhis video is great. you should go on to MYBUSK and put your video on the. you will be able to get donations from people all around the world who like your video w w w MYBUSK (dot) c o m

[shyjak06]

Awesome James!! Big Fan and one love from New Zealand.

[LilyIsabellla]

This annoys me that he is getting so much money from people before he has even started to sing. Most buskers find it really crazy hard to get people to put money in his case. It is just because he is James Morrison and thats the reason. If he wasn't famous I am sure that it would be a different story really. But yeah he is very good.

[scottydot80]

@LilyIsabellla shut up dick how many buskers you know with that much vocal talent? he`d never be just a busker anyways stop busking and get a job fool.

[spartancharlie117]

@LilyIsabellla You're aware that he started out busking, right? So he's probably stood around for hours singing before for little recognition...

Just sayin'

[MusicMadBaybee]

James Morrison born in my hometown called Rugby but moved to cornwall with his mother because his parents got divorced. i am so proud to be british and to say that James Morrison is from Rugby :D

[exiciez]

Did anyone else notice that It went from adults donating money, then going down to little children. Then it started going up from children back up to adults..

[96roddy]

his guitar playing is a beautiful thing to watch and listen to. his voice was made to sing with a guitar!

[imstephengoodman]

I litterally can not grasp the fact 4 people disliked this ? How??!!

[ricemilk]

shame on the UK you show more love to bastards from the X factor

[ncTAYLORxx]

@ricemilk

you couldn't be further from the truth its a percentage just like in any other country, the UK boycotted a winners christmas single once to make a stand and it didnt get to number one, you wouldn't see that in america and its america what embrace the likes of susan boyle not the brits.

[SheffieldBeagles]

I dreamed last night that I snogged James Morrison. A lot. Best dream ever. He is sex on legs.

[btc1beard]

I very very rarely comment but that is absolutely unbelievable. An amazing voice and puts my video's to shame. Some artists you would pay good money to see because the talent is so obvious and both lyrically and vocally, James Morrison is up there with Glen Hansard, Damien Rice, Jeff Buckley and Cee Lo Green (although very different genres) as a male singer songwriter. This is why youtube is so brilliant and why James Morrison should stay a huge success!

[benharding10]

Woooww, wish he came to my hmv :/ i luv his music, go jammesss!

[vince198803]

Whether its a street in Birmingham, a stadium, concert hall or a pub James Morrison is awesome

[LuluHeeNim]

can someone tell me what accent is that?

[dueds]

@LuluHeeNim are you on about james morrisons?. his cornish

[dueds]

@LuluHeeNim actually i dont think he is i cant remember now im sure i remember him saying that once though in an interview

[LuluHeeNim]

@dueds ehh..saying what yeah?

[dueds]

@LuluHeeNim didnt you say what accent that is?

[LuluHeeNim]

@dueds lol...yeah..i did ask that but i don't understand your 1st reply to my comment..u didn't say what accent is that..

[dueds]

@LuluHeeNim ohhh right i didnt know if you meant what accent james morrisons was or someone elses. but i think his spent most his life in cornwall so im guessing its a cornish accent

[LuluHeeNim]

@dueds oh! thank u! btw, the accent is so sexy!

[Meggiiee4297]

I'M IN LOVE WITH HIS VOICE!<3<3<3

[lambgtr7]

yeah busking with a fucking pa hahahah

[dhamaniEjazz18]

are you kidding?i would be out there going crazu, singing along with him,dropped my address in the guitar box...uh these pepple are unbelivable...yes im a big james fan

[LuluHeeNim]

@dhamaniEjazz18 hahaha..me too! i would go there and beg him for a hug or things like that..really

[playlistadam]

busking at its finest :)

[LolitaJenings]

Wow...cool dude.....btw....here's some nice busker competition....a lot of cool buskers there ... enjoy =) randrworld[dot]com/buskers-com­petition.php

[BrianMc1990]

Jeez what he probably made in 5.06 mins i make a week

[CarolineOProductions]

his voice makes my spine tingle, in a good way!

[hsseriesauthor]

He's popular. :) People just keep on coming. Lol. Awesome singer, such an inspiration.

[jg4eva01]

I wonder if he chose the location? right next to HMV coincidently xD

[Hanfkartoffelman]

using speakers like that is normaly against the busking rules!

[MissOldGregg]

I don't understand... This song is incredible, the words are incredible... the meaning is amazing, and yet... His music doesn't get as many hits as songs like 'I fling my hair back and forth'

Whats going on?

[samg013]

@MissOldGregg people don't care about good music these days unfortunately, they only care about what generates masses of money, such a shame

[sparklyAli]

@MissOldGregg I really don't know!! The UK has no taste!

[willow7490]

@MissOldGregg its because now adays people only listen to music they dont actually hear it, this song tells an amazing story if u bothered to even hear it. It has an amazing rezemblance to my childhood love it :)))

[MiSsRaNdOMXxXx]

@MissOldGregg whip...*

[LuluHeeNim]

if i saw him busking in the street, i would have gone to him and hug him tight offering him my own bed..haha

[thefixitman12]

ok yes hes good props but ... where was the money going to him i hope

[confederatefan]

@thefixitman12 he gives the money to charity

[xxeu4riaxx]

listening too musicians on the street is way better than a concert i think :D...

way more emotion :D peace

[TechTutorialGFX]

i think he gets paid enough and he results to taking money off people off the streets, whats the world coming too ;)

[CharIiePresents]

I love how people give money before hes even done anything xD

[Coricana]

hes awesome, i love this song

[reldditmot]

Fancy footwork..

[bierdonkaa]

God, I love this song.. The lyrics are so beautiful, makes me cry, 'cause this song reminds me someone who I used to be.. ;) really beautiful :)

[cheverise]

Thats what you call a god given talent.

[DaveyuKay]

Anyone else feel like u wer grooming that kid half way thru? Pretty awkward...James Morrison is SUCH a gent! Top banana!

[1980slh]

@DaveyuKay your a sico for thinking it just wrong

[jonnymobs790]

@smashhisfase no the uk are really generous (particularly the ladies) when it comes to James morrision. imagine if it wasnt him...

[readerjo]

I thought it said Jim Morrison.

[calimr243]

no one is trying to touch him because they have respect for him as an artist and a person...and they are mature enough to be able to control themselves...

[cherrycandyfloss182]

why is no one trying to touch him?!? i would be like all over that shit... yum.

[NAZA1823]

[mugatu40]

[shabbyksantypa]

I hope one day I'll be able to hear him alive ;)

[TheButterpimp]

@shabbyksantypa hear him alive? well thats gotta be the most active corpse i've seen in years!

[shabbyksantypa]

@TheButterpimp don't catch my words ;) alive means see him and hear him built from the blood and bones.

[elizab2706]

Ought to read description into video!

James Morrison busk  in Birmingham UK's High Street in order to raise money for Birmingham City Centre Partnership's Alternative Giving Scheme.

[xXdwebbXx]

hes brill, but fuck u, lol, who brings a mike and speekers to a busk, this isnt a busk, its a free concert, lol, brill singer but admit it lol.

[srfcste]

sein him last night in the o2 dublin , he was absolutly brilliant , and seemed very thankful of the reception he got , he sang a cover of michael jacksons ' man in the mirror ' and it was 1 of the best version i have ever heard

[leodileodileo]

maasiiiii cazzoooooooo

[jonasbrotherslove06]

god i wish i was there :'(

[tronuD2]

i was at a loss for words. this performance is sooo goood.

[sassysophie2705]

[boomboxbadboy1]

im busk on the millenium bridge and if i got money threw at me like that i would be happy. this dude is a million times better than i will ever be but im keeping it real.;0

[SoerenHammer]

In my univers it ain't busking if you are plugged in and got speakers and shit.

[bluetones83]

but typically established artists do not go busking. If one was to go busking and it would be likely that he/she would attract a substantial crowd and would therefore want to ensure that those on the outskirts of the crowd would still be able to hear clearly. this is unlikely to problem for most "buskers".

[ILoveEnglishBlokes]

Such an amazing voice and artist!

[MrSupraShane]

Best Natural Male vocalist ever such a talent

[Maka1993]

*snap* *snap* *snap*

That was deep.

[faithful22forever]

Jamese is amazing , he is amazing that''s i am here

[chflanch4life]
