  • Love it...

  • He is:

    on key

    on fire

    on a roll

    etc...

  • Comment removed

  • thats my older brother!!!

  • @OfficialZombieZack brett doesn't have a brother...

  • abcd

  • if this gig was happening here in Brazil, girls would be crying and yelling his name....claps would be so out loud that would be hard to listen to his singing....

  • there ain't no reason makes me cry.......love will come set me free

    this is unique....the music video is a piece of art

    I love Brett

  • handsome and talented

  • I'm Going to his show this weekend in Northampton,MA

  • It takes a little brains to understand Brett's music. I could write you a thesis on it however I have a website to build. Next time Brett goes to your town, go to a live show an you will understand more....hopefully.

  • love love love him 

  • You are the curry. :) Nice hip action by the way.

    

  • @foreveronedown hahah omygosh i wouldn't have noticed ! lmfao yes he sings with his voice and talks with his hips :D

  • Brett is so fucking awesome.

  • I really didn't get this guy when I first heard him on David Letterman...I thought he was pretty crap BUT within a matter of days I found myself watching all his videos on Youtube and now am strangely hooked...

    I think its down to his unique style, its quite real, he looks honest and he sounds honest and I think thats what people are grabbing hold of. In the current state of music he's an honest musician that has gotten somewhere with his unique style and voice...Well done Brett :)

  • Brett Dennen is amazingly talented and fresh as a the rain. the things he writes are more than thoughtful. I am enchanted by Brett Dennen!

  • hey are u single? :)

  • so lovely!

  • Cannot wait to see Brett next Sunday! I listen to his music everyday on my way to and from school! Gets me pumped for my day and relaxes me after all the stress!

  • I gave a second listen as somebody suggested and he sounds even more horrrible than during the first listen. Could't listen or especially look at him for more than five seconds and believe me, I'm quite tolerant and open to different styles of music, but this is horrible, this is no music. Guy can't sing, can't play, why does he go on stage? I would understand if he sat make those sounds at home. People, open your eyes and ears. Emperor has no cloths. Of course this stuck up kid is no emperor

  • @ginsek It's sad how you can bash on this person. While he is out there touring and playing, writing his own songs, your sitting on your ass watching youtube videos. If you think he is not good, i would like to see your own original song. And if you do not like the music, then just exit out. simple.

  • I understand Brett Dennon...and I guess I understand the superficial position of his critics. Lets form a line behind him on this platform-pick a performer. Let's see Beyonce get up and sing. Oh, and there's a catch: She can only play a song that she wrote with the instrument she wrote it on. His vocal styling is pretty deliberate and displays his kindly irreverant and sometimes self-deprecating sense of humor. I would call him the best new artist but he's been around for awhile.

  • 5:38 "Came in here"

  • I love him. There is a loong time since I liked so much an artist like I do with Brett. I love his voice(and yes, maybe his voice is not for everyone, but if you like, you love it), his guitar playing, his lyrics(so much) and he as a person, although i don't know him personally.

    I don't undestand these 112 dislikes... You all who judge him quickly and don't like him must learn that There Is So Much More

  • Hey what model/brand is that acoustic guitar? thanks

  • @EZpsTUTS I'm almost sure he uses Martin guitars. You probably can find the model by searching around the web

  • @lucascopin  thanks. those are expensive but nice

  • rotisserie chicken HAHAHAHAH

  • 5:35 - "Caume In Heeure" hahaha

  • If you ever get a chance to go to his show...GO. It's amazing, a quasi spiritual experience. Plus the acts that open are great stand alone acts. 12/9/11 we'll see him in Denver for the second show this year.

  • 9:50 It's hard to take off a sweater in front of people

  • Comment removed

  • Sounds like early counting crows vocals.

  • I love music that takes you places. Music that can transport you to a place in your heart and mind while remaining in the comfort of your living-room, car, bedroom or headphones. Music that evokes a memory of a time and place that may have been better or worse, but no matter what it holds a special place in your existence. Someone who can reach into your being and drag these memories to light is an artist. Brett Dennen is artist. Great work young man, keep it up.

  • Why won't that elephant stop staring at me?

  • 112 people didn't have a comeback

  • 112 dislikes???? what the FUCK?

  • Geez, courageous shit talkers of the internet, way to kick a guy for writing his own shit, staying positive, and being a bit unique. Go ahead, put in a folk tag radio on any program and try to pick out all the different singers. You will only be able to pick out Brett. When you are tried of trying to figure out if you are listening to singer A of B that are "better" than Brett, come back here and give this a 2nd listen.

  • Brett is AMAZING! I've been following him since I saw him on the news a LOONNNGGG time ago. Always good stuff. :) His music has helped me through alot of issues in my life. Thank you Brett for being so amazing and so inspirational.

  • i am a fan of blueberry pancakes. good, and good for you.

  • COME TO CANADA

  • Whats with all the dislikes!?!?!?!?! I FLIPPN LOVE BRETT DENNEN!!! Such a wonderful musician!

  • He makes me so happy! I love Brett :)

    That's all I want from an artist, emotions.

  • ohmygod i love him! haha i dont care that he isn't autotuned and he doesnt have all the muscle and good looks that almost every "good" singer has these days...and im a typical teen girl. i think that his looks are part of what makes him Brett Dennen...he's amazing, and he better never change...ever <3

  • @JohnnyCyberspace Coward, block me. Ok fine, your way. I was being polite, I am not a band wagon person. Dislike is just an elitist and pretentious way of hating. As for classless spewing your opinion, all be it negative just simply for that reason that is classless. If you "dislike" something then pay no attention to it because honestly your opinion doesn't really matter that much.

  • reminds me of that never shout never kid

  • Loved it.

    And just because his voice doesn't sound like it came out of a machine doesn't make him have a bad voice. He is really talented and he can sing. He may have a different tone, but he can sing better than most of those so-called "artists" out there today.

  • i could make more entertaining sounds by farting

  • i got one song on my ipod i think its called "surprise surprise" it was free in itunes...but i like it i listen to it all the time :)

  • @girly18beaner that is definately how i got hooked on this kid :)

  • Seriously people? You're all hating on the guy because he has talent. You CAN'T say he is off-key because he isn't. He just has a weird tone, and I'll admit he may not be for everyone, but he is talented and saying he isn't is just lying to yourself. Personally, I think he's great; a stand-out musician in a sea of bland, over produced crap.

  • @BeartifulBear I agree he should stick to the folk theme more in my opinion, i think he could be more successful in that genre rather than so called pop folk

  • To all those who say his voice is bad... Tell me who you think has a good voice.

  • I dont know why people think he can sing....cause he can't.

    The 2nd song ehh.....

  • Good impersonation of a male.

  • Yuck, he sucks so bad...... this sounds so off pitch.

  • @Afireinside912 Not off pitch...he has a weird tone but its really good pitch-wise

  • @MrGhorot

    Well than he sings through his nose.. it's awful.

  • sounds like a crying baby

  • Why aren't the people in the audience more excited for Brett? Lame

  • Dang! Brett done got skinny! But the music is the same - awesome...although that first tune was a little sketchy.

  • Where's Anthony Fantano? I was hoping...

  • I have a feeling this guy's gonna be like Justin Bieber...You either love him or you hate him...Probably more hate...I don't really like him, his voice isn't distinct, it's like he's try'na sound like AC/DC, but bad, it's kinda irritating, I can't hear the lyrics or follow the melody at all, and his looks...well...he kinda looks like a chick...one who doesn't take great care of them self...I don't really like it at all...but I KNOW he's gonna turn out awesome in fans' eyes, That's just how it is

  • @Raisoren

    Yeah like every other artist these days.. can't sing. Luckily even though ACDC screamed he sounded exactly like Studio on live performances.

  • its about time he gets his spotlight :) i love him :)

  • its about time he gets his spotlight

  • Average reaction: "Huh. Not bad." *next video*

    Teen reaction: "FFS dis aint wut i liek dawg, I'ma have a tantrum!"

  • love him, he is so adorable i was fortunate enough to see him in concert, he is hilarious!

  • hahahahaha ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 

  • has that blind melon sound going on ...cool

  • Talented.  Like it.

  • @JohnnyCyberspace man, music is art, and the artist defines his art. some people like him, some don't, if you don't like him, don't listen to him. no need to hate

  • @JohnnyCyberspace And viscerally hating on the way someone sounds shows a lot of intelligence on your part.

    1) this is live

    2) music is a form of expression/story telling of the human experience

    3) there is no artist that sounds good to everyone

    4) tons of people likes the way he sounds

    5) vocal strength/range does not equate to good music/singing

    6) you sound like an intolerant music Nazi

    Go around calling people ugly more like beauty is fact.

  • @JohnnyCyberspace Whens your album coming out?

  • he's great in concert too.

  • love Brett Dennen! always have! he's so unique and doesn't need auto tune to make him better. Just his lovely voice and a guitar.

  • what's with all the acoustic guitar? let's get some tuba up in this mof'

  • Hipster with a guitar can is actually talented, lol. <3

  • I can start buying music again.

  • LOL the fuck I thought that was just an ugly girl!

  • love his little dance moves while he sings and jams....if this guy gets attention question is why cant I?

  • @stealthlikemi I was just thinking the same thing.

  • sweet stuff

  • Wow dude love your style and your voice. Very unique and your lyrics are well thought out and I can tell they have real meaning beehind them. Hope you suceed in the future and I wish you luck! but one thing..... CUT YOUR HAIR MAN XD.

  • Haha oddly enough - Im a Alabama boy and I work in construction - so not your typical hipster, but I think this guy is awesome. 

  • Haha oddly enough - Im a Alabama boy and I work in construction - so not your typical hipster, but I think this guy is awesome.

  • Even the guy introducing him had a problem trying not to laugh

  • I don't like it, but that's my opinion. He's definitely talented though. Good job man.

  • all of u haters shut the hell up hes great

  • Not a fan of his voice, but it's no t turning me away.....I think I might like him. He's like a less processed Christofer Drew.

  • I like this. Although, I'm a hipster.

    

  • wait thats a guy?

  • ??? UH.....well that was interesting o-O

  • This is the single most hipster man of all time "Marine Biology albums, that are just whale sounds"

  • What. the. fuck?

  • This sucks. Lol look at you damn hipsters trying to see good in bad.

  • what the fuck is this shit

  • omg fucking heart

  • Brett Dennen is amazing. This is one artist that you know does it not for the money but for his love of the music. I advise everyone to check out his songs on itunes even if you don't like his live performance.

  • hipster shit

  • I first discovered him when his song "Ain't no reason" was featured on a season finale of "House MD." Needless to say, I am very pleased to have found this video.

  • I <3 brett dennen

  • Is he retarded?

  • GO RON!

  • Honestly Idk What to think @ time his voice was really darn good and @ time his voice was just weird sounding very interesting though but I don't think good job is a good vord for it perhaps Interesting Job ;D

  • I love this song. The accent makes it a bit difficult to understand though. I'm only 16 and I don't know of anyone else who would listen to this.

  • it disgusts me that most young teens from 13-17 listen to junk.. the music they listen to is handed to them.. discover music children. there are more genres than just rap and pop.

  • He looks and sounds like if Truman Capote was a bad hipster songwriter.

  • Bring fat Brett back.....

  • @1:15 I already know I fucking hate this.

  • god damn! you youtubers are so full of hate!

    dear brett,

    on behalf of youtube, SORRY. if you need help closing these peoples' testicles in car doors, i will gladly assist.

    ps - i look forward to seeing you open for state radio on october 29th in noho

  • i feel like this is oldies comin back!

  • Lyrics are great, playing is great and the voice is distinctive. Unfortunately, it seems that a lot of younger kids have musical tastes to match their attention spans; fleeting at best. I think that kids today are so used to hearing/seeing performers that Lipsync, use voice correction, have voices that have no distinctive qualities, and are tailored to 'look' a certain way, that when they see a 'normal' person playing without processing they think its crap. Great Job!!

  • @Sorthious I could not agree more.

  • @Sorthious I could not agree more.

  • @Sorthious You've got that right, except I don't quite see what singer you could be talking about who sings without processing and sounds like crap. If you mean singers like this, I dont see haters.

  • @Sorthious im am not one of those teens but I don't particularly like his music although he certainly is original.

  • @hubbabubbagloppop That's cool...I know some people may not like that 'style' of music...I respect people who can say "I just don't care for it", rather than those who will just rag on it, and say mean things about people for no reason other than to make themselves feel better. I heard someone comment on the way he was dressed/looked...If your so into fashion, go to a fashion show, for the clothes and the faces. Leave music alone, it's not contest, despite crap like American Idol and similar.

  • ok just wondering, but why is he famous, on tour, and featured on youtube when he sucks and only has 4,332,148 veiws, but Maddi Jane isnt and she is awesome and has exactly 133,433,875 veiws?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?­!?!?!?!?!?!?! just wondreing!!

  • :D

  • He probably has really good lyrics, but I can't really understand them...........

  • Wow he does suck. Trying to be unique but comes off sounding like shit.

  • @flexor212000 i tried coming up with a clever way to express how much i hate people who comment like you do, but what i think sums it up the best is a genuine old fashioned fuck you. fuck you and everything good that has ever happened to you

  • Yo mamma's so fat, when she puts on high heels in the morning, by the afternoon they're flats.

  • The announcer said "uh" way too much.

  • Dear Brett Dennen

    You suck.

  • i thought he was a woman hehehehe he's great :)

  • I wonder if this dude has ever been on tour with Hank Green? He sure looks like a Nerdfighter. Yea Nerdfighteria for life boo ya!!!

  • what's with that voice?WTF?He seems to be a nerd=)

  • watch out videos :D

  • jesus... :D

  • Not sure if this is serious or just joking...

  • pretty bad...

    (bad as in terrible)

  • guise, its moot in disguise, dont diss

  • Remind me of Jack White from the White Stripes, just a little bit..

  • the fuck.

  • wow you never hear music like this anymore

  • wow hes so good!!!!

  • dam this dude got skinny. or in his other videos he fat either way good job

  • This is shit.

  • aaron gillespie? 

  • Very good singer. amazing voice. and amazing how his voice slides.

  • hes not very good

    

  • @InkaChick u cant apreciate how awsome he is

  • Scooby doo doo doo doo doo

  • I can't...even understand him. lol?

    He may write good lyrics (I wouldn't know, right?), he may have a 'unique' voice. He might be brimming with emotion.

    It does not make him a performer.

    ^ That part ought to be stressed.

  • @lysolbombs470 i think a performer is someone who performs..... he seems to be doing that

  • @lysolbombs470 Not a performer?  NOT A PERFORMER? I'm sorry, did you not see that hip shake, open your eyes people, he's a ginger jesus allen ginsberg bob dylan myopic song ANGEL!

  • i thought this was velma from scooby doo, but great song anyway

  • @TheGarrettsee Dude he does look like Velma that's just too funny. Maybe a new hairdo would be best. I like his singing though pretty cool.

  • While Brett Dennen is one hell of a poet/song writer, he might want to give up his status as a performer. The nasally sound just doesn't make it.

  • @demorra bob dylan

  • @TheGarrettsee Bad analogy and I think you know it....

  • @turoniner nope. you asked for an example of s successful shitty vocal folk singer, i delivered. to mainstream fine conor oberst, how about the mountain goats!

  • @demorra Hey this guy at least sounds much better than the girl who sings Friday. What's her name Rebecca Black. I'm not knocking her I just think she sounds way worse than this. This guy reminds me of someone I can't put my finger on it, but he sings almost just like him. He also sounds like the lead singer of of Ugly Kid Joe so yea not to shabby if you ask me.

  • i hope you dont schuse shure schense schof schuuuumor

  • 14:46 . .Best bit

  • "love will come set me free" probably one of the best songs ive ever heard... i hope you go far brett. keep working

  • I'm so glad that Brett is finally getting so recognition. YAY!

  • By the way I wish I could dislike this multiple times.

  • One of the worst singing voices of all time. Am I the only one around here NOT falling for this crap?

  • Very unique. I don't get why music suddenly has become more about being so perfect intead of just maintaining the emotions in a song, this is fucking awesome.

  • Very unique. I don't get why music suddenly has become more about being so perfect intead of just maintaining the emotions in a song, this is fucking awesome.

  • Brett Dennen is awesome. I can't believe anyone would down him. Beautiful songs, you can tell he has a good heart.

  • Wow guys. Have some music appreciation.

  • i thought it was a girl oopppsss lol

    

  • @landawg147 if it was a girl it would be bett dennen :p

  • i never heard of him but was amazed by his voice that came out of him
