My friend on youtube

Check it out:

not bad at all

infact it isnt just a one off.. he is actually a very good singer

this is my favourite one

Yea he's pretty awesome, never knew him as a singer, just a car/bike enthusiast, then he was like "check me out on youtube" today.

the whole time i was waiting for him to start growling death metal style.

how come brits sing with an american accent?

because the american accent is typically flat, as far as melodic cadences go... and when singing, you are typically sustaining a note per vowel, which flattens out any natural cadence an accent may give.

for the most part.

I don't buy it. surely you could sing exactly the same but with british phonemes.

We sing at all times in America. It's a never ending musical.

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

ya this guy has a nice soft voice. good looking guy too. lucky fucker.

Videos like this make me cringe. i think he should have sang the original if anything, not the remake. The teard for fears version is wayyyyy better imho.

neckbeard neckbeard is neckbeard

tears for fears did it better. fuck gary jules

YEA BUT TEARS FOR FEARS WEREN'T IN THE FILM WERE THEY?

HUH?

HUH?

Thats what I thought.

yeah that was good stuffs. my real comment is, whenever i hear the line "happy birthday, happy birthday" in the slow sad version, i still hear the ridiculous synth/horn breakout second or so from the 80s version.

VERY FUCKING TRUE.

And the more I think about it, this video was gut-wrenchingly horrible.

FUCK YOU FOR POSTING IT GEORGE.

sorry for yelling everybody. I hope there wasn't too much collateral damage.

lol... me too!

And btw, the original was on the OST for DD (at least it was when i d/led it from Slsk 3 years ago), so maybe it WAS in the movie... like, really quiet and SNEAKY like.

Lol, Gary Jules sang the version for the film, that was why he did the song in the first place.

FUCK ME FOR POSTING IT THOUGH.

yes, fuck you.

No though, I meant the version of the OST i downloaded had BOTH VERSIONS ON IT. I know that gary jules sang the version during the climax or whatever.

Ah I got ya!

if there's any reason donnie darko shouldve never happened, its because of the hundreds of covers of mad world

jesus christ

his start up was a bit shakey, didnt make it far into it, way too gay

if you're into that kind of thing, adam lambert's performance of mad world is definitely the best:

does he have both hands up his bum

he probably is because he's copying gary jules, who is american so sings with an american accent. most british singers don't sing with an american accent. it irritates me when they do, especially when it's like jamie lidell
