well, obviously hes been spending his time watching youtube videos hahaha. which is funny, isnt he suppose to be some star that should be able to come up with original stuff?
girls have been singing this song in this same way but better since the song first came out
I really like it! VERY SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it sounds rly good.
hes got a hot voiceeee
I love the original and thought this was a damn good version. Not mad @ you Jessie!
He looks like a 13 year old still wearing his invisalign braces. How could anybody take his offer to buy a "drank" seriously? The only "drank" he looks old enough to buy is kool-aide.
it's like the muzac version of t-pain's. fuckin' moron.
I'm reading comments. I can't believe you people like this song. There is something wrong with each and every one of you. Be it physical (hearing) or mental (fucking crazy) or intellectual (fucking stupid), there is something WRONG with each of you.
I Luv it!!!! I like his interpretation.
i actually like it..hes hott=]
I dig it… it expected it to completely suck.
hes okay… not great though
its okay
at some points he reminds me of Frankie Muniz just some of his face reactions lol
I have to admit I talked some crap before I even watched the video. But as soon as he started singing I loved it!!!!!! His hair is HORRIBLE but I think he did a good job. I wasn't expecting that at all.
it was just okay for me.
i love it! =)
I think it was cute
a nice interpretation of the song, mellow and easy to listen too. Not at all cheesy.
hahaha!
love it!!
I LOVED it!!! trying to find the copy to download and burn. So Chill wit it! Great Job!
i like
Ummm. . .
1st thought: lmao.
2nd thought: Meh, not bad I guess.
This is actually sounds great. Better than the original, IMO.
sooooo gooodd!!!
i love him
Why is this kid trying to be like justin!!!! Eww go away!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats so funny about that? I thought he did a real good job!
i couldn't stop laughin in the beginning, but its a good version, and i actually like jesse (im black go figure) lol
not pretty, but not ugly. its…. idk what to call it, different?
OMG that was hot!!! get it, whiteboy!!!
He's good.
Re: marms – Ok UR stupid, it's just a song. Jesse's white & T-Pain iz black, big deal. I thought this wuz 2008?
oh my god that was a billion times better than i could've ever imagined him to sing it. hahahaha.
i agree. kinda brilliant!
Go white boy go white boy go!!! lol, i likes, i likes. im not hating. See, nobody would laugh if it was someone like Justin T or Robing Thicke, so stop hating!!!
I've listened to this version 3 times already and i plan it to do it more time…i know scary…but i like it..cant help it…i like the original version too
i liked it. this cover is really good.
i love how it sounds.
i think t-pain would like it too.
I actually liked it!!!
not about to hate…it was pretty good. but he needs to cut his hair
other than the do' i liked his interpretation
Re: hai there –
because he thinks he's grown and sexy. i agree with him
Aww isn't he cute!
haha at least he made it his own! he's not tryin to be gangsta or anything… although the "awww snap" part is pretty cringe-worthy. now we know for sure what jesse's genre is.
I actually kinda love it hehehehe…no matter what ppl say…me likey
yea well, he didnt sound good or bad.
I think to take something on that is way out of your element and making it your own just makes the effort that much better. He did a great job covering T-Pain's hit. He's got a bright future, maybe he could be almost as good as Justin Timberlake (notice the use of ALMOST) lol. but you gotta give him props. I really didn't know too much about this guy until his summer song "Leavin" which is not my favorite but damn is it catchy lol.
I liked it
love him! his version was different but it wasn't bad compared to some ppl who covered other singers songs
i love this little girl
It's actually REALLY good, i'm extremely suprised.
I thought that was awesome.
Strange thing with him is that he is aging backwards. He looks younger and younger the more time progresses. If I saw him on the street, I'd guess 15 years old.
I liked it
ok not a bad song if he wasnt acting like such a douche singing it.
SURPRISED THE SHIT OUT OF ME BUT…..I LIKED IT….AND I SAW SOMEONE SAY HE DOESN'T HAVE SWAGGER….YES HE DOES!!!!!!!!!
Are you even old enough to buy me a "drank"?
PS love how the back up singers are actually black. Makes it a little more legit.
i like it..
Re: procrastination101 – LMAO!!!! HELL YEA…I THINK I WOULD GIVE HIS YOUNG ASS SOME ALSO….MAYBE PUT SOME HAIR ON THAT BABY FACE!
Not too bad. I think he pulled it off.
i enjoyed it.
I was expecting the cover to be pitiful, but I actually liked it a bit. Go Jesse!
That song never gets old.
very well done!
first post here,prepare to be "bitched".
Jmac's awesome!!
Re: zeebz4 – no buy u a drank has a swagger to it
and jessie killed it and made it pop
sorry, but he killed it bth
Re: HAMphetamine – ZOMGGG YOUZ BE STUPIDZ BECAUSE THIS IS 2008
ROFL go cut some more ugly bitch
it wasnt meant to be racist but i forgot im talking to dumb ass people
the song has a swagger to it
you dont see many white people sing hiphop and be GOOD at it
besides eminem, jessie should just stick with acting
and singing pop then hiphop
does not mix
thats like lance bass singing 50cent songs
DOES NOT MIX
This is brilliant! I prefer it over the original
he made me actually like the song, i thought it was annoying before haha
I loved it, jesse is getting better the older he gets
FUCK ME NOW JESSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lmfao better than the original XD
i like this song, its def. on my ipod….im not sure about Jesse's version, i mean its not bad, never thought i would see him sing that song……weird
He sings this song while he dry humps ten year olds.
:/
Jesse McCartney needs to get a life
interesting…. but not terrible
As much as I hate myself for saying this, this really isn't that bad. SHOCKING.
ehh it's alrightt, i thought it would suck…it wasnt that bad
but he should stick to his kind of music lol
I wasnt expecting that. it was really good to me. go Jesse ! plus when singers make ugly faces that means they can sing cause alot of good singers do that.
this is the most annoying shit i`ve seen in sooooo… long.
sounds like a kid bop remix.
WELL DONE!!! i loves it!!
wow… please tell me im not the only one who thought his face looked retarded every time he sang a high note or something!
holy shit look at it!
that was actually really good….
This is a mad song regardless…..he a pretty good job….. for skinny blonde kid
Re: Jessay – who cares?
love it!
as much as i hate to admit it.
he did a way better job on this than when he tried to cover PANIC AT THE DISCO'S "i write sins not tragedies"…he made me want to hate that song after it.
but this was pretty decent.
he looks lik hes gettin tortured wen he sings judging by his expressons hahaa
Who is this guy anyway?? I see him a lot on this website but I cant understand who he is… Actor??Singer?? BOTH?! (Typical American teens today..)
i liked it! hes gorgeous
kay, i actually like this version, he's more interesting for doing something he likes, despite it's origins, than just not because he'd be a wigger.
this is good stuff, anyone who thinks otherwise, get a grip!
i like it
This actually isn't bad. Jesse is trying too hard to be Justin Timberlake/Robin Thicke though.
Sorry Jesse ! But WTH ?? That Sucks ! SO BAD ! :O !Stick To What You Do
I never really liked him… but I actually kinda warmed up to him. Not amazing, but not half bad either.
fuck how to change my avatar?? I already changed the picture but it wouldn't fuckin change!!
Okay so I totally expected that to suck but it was really good!!
I Like it! A lot!
Impressive.
he's very justin timberlake i like it
The boy is 21 so yes…he is old enough to sing about "buyin' a drank".
I liked it.
@Milk Mans Daughter
"The editorial 'we' is a similar phenomenon, in which editorial columnists in newspapers and similar commentators in other media refer to themselves as we when giving their opinions. Here, the writer has once more cast himself or herself in the role of spokesman: either for the media institution who employs him, or more generally on behalf of the party or body of citizens who agree with the commentary."
I think he did a good job.
The original is good and his version made me sing along.
Very nice.
sorta sounds like justin timberlake,a little I like it!!better then the orginal =]
Re: wicked – completely agreed,and his acting is amazing!
It was good, not the greatest, but at least it didn't suck!
I likes!
i looooved it! it sounded so good especially since he actually SANG it! everyone knows t-pains voice is electronically altered! way better den the original!
Not bad. Not bad at all.
