You know whats shit about it.. Is a good guy... Lovely voice.. Good songs... Etc.. But most people didn't even know his name.. But the people who can't sing.. Just famous cause of there looks... Autotune voices.. Etc whatever.. Fuck it. It's so sad and annoying
I'm not here to troll or nothing, but I really want to like James Morrison's voice, & i am so sure that i do, I've always said he sings the wrong songs because I don't enjoy his music (mostly)! Then I hear this & I just think, maybe it's not that at all!!! His voice is so interesting and soulful sounding, yet i just can't get into his songs! It's so weird.. I had hoped this would have changed my opinion when i found it BLAH
Yknow, I'm honestly not a fan of most of his stuff either, but I do love this accoustic cover. Some of it may be because I'm a huge MJ fan and I've always loved Man in the Mirror done acoustically, but I think you're right Daz. He's got amazing potential but the choice of music just isn't showing it.
There was only two guys could have pulled this song off and they were Charles and Eddie this guy's were great but one died in the early 90's...huh....that sucks still..
WOW! What a cover-what a voice and what a guy. I'm looking James up on here because he visited my daughter's ward in hospital when she had leukemia. Such a nice guy and amazingly talented too! Bless him!
Not just a cover, this is a beautiful rendition of one our most iconic musical influences of the 20th century. James Morrison I applaud u! Thank you sir
I agree most people fail hard. especially when they TRY to sound like MJ because no one can really emulate him. i like this cover a lot because he clearly felt the song and made it his own. instead of just taking a popular song and doing a cover for views.
wtf? I dont get it.....who the fk cares if you like a cover or not? Every artist does covers because they love the song...not cause they think they can do it better. I dont like every cover i heard, but i respect the efford. No fkin way im going to hate anyone for such stupid reason. Maybe I do hate people like you a bit tho....
Denn Foo up true. I can have an opinion about the person how I dislike the cover but hating it is like seeing someone doing what they love and you shit all over it just because you don't like how they are doing things. Everyone starts from the bottom and for you to become better at something you will fail and that failure will make you better. No need to shit on people starting out. Peace
Siedah Garrett wrote the song "Man In The Mirror" for Michael Jackson on his Bad album. this demo is so amazing and rare. Siedah Garrett - Man In The Mirror [Demo] (Written For Michael Jackson) HQ ua-cam.com/video/tSXDGzgY2JU/v-deo.html
Never understand this mentality that because you like an artist you have to hate any cover of their songs. You can like both, don't have to be mutually exclusive. This is one of the best ever covers of a popular song in my opinion, it just sounds amazing and really captures the emotion in the song. Doesn't make Michael Jackson's version any worse, both great in their own right. It almost comes across like MJ fans are insecure that his legacy will be tarnished because some people prefer a cover of one of his songs. He's possibly the greatest musical artist of all time and gets more than enough appreciation, he'll be fine
I saw this dude at some festival and thought this was a voice that only comes around once in a blue moon. I just think he blew my mind and it will stay with me forever. Why don't I hear you more on the radio? Great track great voice ...thank you
I really don't like covers of Michael Jackson because I am a huge fan of MJ and I feel it can only get worse than the original if you try to replace his voice... But this one is an exception. I simply love it!

It was only when i read a comment about people 'covering MJ' that i realised it wasn't James song originally! Cracking version. (leaving aside minor quibble about it being 'acoustic' with a synth?)

for someone with the looks of chris martin and the name of previous music legend, this james morrison has really created his own identity! very impressive.
Very nice!! He's got a very unique vocal presentation and a very comfortable blending in his range , he's got a voice that people will remember, it's got a touch of grit and a wonderful spectrum and cord presence!! Very talented young man
I'm sorry, he looks so much like the lead singer of Coldplay, Chris Martin. Chris Martin is my favourite musician and my mate recommended for me to look at James Morrison - He's pretty awesome. Great voice. I'd heard 'I Won't Let You Go' before, but I didn't know it was him. Very good. Chris is still my favourite musician but I like James Morrison as a solo artist very much!
Best cover! I really love the original but I think it's even better to me cause you can really feel the soul of James Morrison and it adds another dimension to the music.

Like a lot of people, I really like this version more than the original. Michael Jackson’s version was the first was amazing but James Morrison really nails this song. His voice carries so much emotion when singing this song. Kudos!
I use to use these lyrics as a life motto…somewhere down the line life happened. It’s amazing how a song can remind you of who you were before life happened ❤
@@wonderyearsdouche475 He is still a very well known singer song writer though I think he has taken a step back from performing live now. I know some of his family he is such a nice guy.
Deliverance of this song by the Prince Michael Jackson is a very big leap of faith, as he has some major shoes to fill. Being an MJ fan all my life and a fellow Englishperson I love this stripped back rustic version and I think our wonderful James have done us English people extremely proud

I'm still listening to this in 2024
❤
You know whats shit about it..
Is a good guy... Lovely voice.. Good songs... Etc..
But most people didn't even know his name..
But the people who can't sing.. Just famous cause of there looks... Autotune voices.. Etc whatever.. Fuck it.
It's so sad and annoying
Me too❤❤❤❤
@@vaako1005 but they don't have people coming back over 10 years later like James does.
Me too
Dont usually like covers but i ♥♥♥ this !
WOW ..... This guy is amazing the whole package ....why is not a mega star ....great cover in fact 1000000)0000000x better !!!
He is a Megastar already do you not listen to popular Music ?
Well no, its a great cover but is not better than Jackson's version.
THIS NEEDS TO GO ON SPOTIFY!!!
nice voice james... l like it's!!!
2020 and I'm here again. 😍😍😍
Q????

I love this! Song and video too! Thanks! ;)
"Fantastic Voice"!!

In love.
Sou muito fã ! Lindooo
I wasn't a huge fan of him before but after this......
james morrison's voice turns me into a puddle of lovestruck goo.:3

Fortunately, what you don't like really doesn't matter.
Richard Foo that said, why the comment?
i miss MJ...:(
awwwww
There was only two guys could have pulled this song off and they were Charles and Eddie this guy's were great but one died in the early 90's...huh....that sucks still..
i really like this version! not many versions out there are anywhere near as good as the original Michael Jackson version but this is lovely!
everything he touches turns to gold, hes like Midas
2019, who's listen?
me
Me
I listen to this song every once in a while! =)
Me

WOW! What a cover-what a voice and what a guy. I'm looking James up on here because he visited my daughter's ward in hospital when she had leukemia. Such a nice guy and amazingly talented too! Bless him!
I'm a Michael Jackson fan but this version really does it, I appreciate Morrison's effort, he nails it!!!
for real.....

JM did amazing version from MJ indeed. Very appreciate what he did.
Btw MJ is forever remebered in our heart
Not just a cover, this is a beautiful rendition of one our most iconic musical influences of the 20th century. James Morrison I applaud u! Thank you sir
best cover i ever heard
listen to james bays version
james morisson,bay and grey's anatomy (J2 Feat. Cameron The Public)
listen to joyful noise
yes
Keke Palmer too
I really hate when anyone tries to cover Mj, but this guy somehow captured mj's emotion/message. I'm impressed.
I agree most people fail hard. especially when they TRY to sound like MJ because no one can really emulate him. i like this cover a lot because he clearly felt the song and made it his own. instead of just taking a popular song and doing a cover for views.

Who covered Siedah Garrett and Glen Ballard.
I can't understand why he isn't massive these days, fantastic singer and performer!
Best version of Man in the Mirror! Everybody else should stop covering this song. You can`t get better than best!

"Man In The Mirror"
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As I turn up the collar on
My favourite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their need
A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind you know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home,
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me
Pretending that they're not alone?
A widow deeply scarred
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
(washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, you see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me

I just love this cover of what, to me, is one of Michael Jackson’s greatest tracks ❤️
OH MY GOD that was beautiful
I like how he’s not trying to be Michael.
Yowe Tan must have been listening to something else....That was a great acoustic version that anyone could do..considering probably one of the hardest songs ever ....A1 man...
I'm a BIG MJ fan and I hate when people try to sing his songs, cause no one can sing them him. But you are really doing this song like your own and it's very good! :) Thumbs up from me...
OMG, his voice??? A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!!!!!
This song is my most favorite in Micheal's song.
This James's version is also good.
Thank you. I feel so good♪

Make That Change
James Morrison makes this song his own. Fabulous interpretation and a natural fit.
It was only when i read a comment about people 'covering MJ' that i realised it wasn't James song originally!
Cracking version.
(leaving aside minor quibble about it being 'acoustic' with a synth?)
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As I turn up the collar
On my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other
On the wind ya know
'cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
I've been a victim of
A selfish kinda love
It's time that I realize
There are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me
Pretending that they're not alone
A willow deeply scarred
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
They follow the pattern
Of the wind ya see
'cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
No message could have been any clearer
[If you wanna make the world a better place]
[Take a look at yourself and then make the change]
[You gotta get it right, while you got the time]
['cause when you close your heart]
You can't close your... your mind
[Then you close your... mind!]
That man, that man, that man, that man, that man
That man, the man, you know, that man
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself then make a change
Gonna feel real good, yeah
No, no, no, no
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good
Come on
Just lift yourself
You know, you got to stop it, yourself, brother
I gotta make that change, today
You got to, you got to not let yourself, brother
You know, starting with that man, the man
You got, you got to move
Come on, come on
You got to
Stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up and lift yourself, now
Gonna make that change, come on
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know
🎉❤🎉 thanks Sweet

If you never heard the original, hearing this Song in this version for the first time would blow their mind! 🤯
Like the 'wind' in the song 🥰
Where the fuck is he now ?????
I know, right?
You can find him so many ways like his UA-cam channel, twitter, instagram, facebook.
He also released his new album on 30 October 2015.
thanks love B
Working in Subway in Grimsby last I heard.
scam hunter that's not true.
Bravo James ..you keep the King of Pop's spirit alive ..great version .
for someone with the looks of chris martin and the name of previous music legend, this james morrison has really created his own identity! very impressive.
absolutely moving in ways you just cannot describe. love love love
Very nice!! He's got a very unique vocal presentation and a very comfortable blending in his range , he's got a voice that people will remember, it's got a touch of grit and a wonderful spectrum and cord presence!! Very talented young man
wow what a voice ......love this version he kept true to the emotion and meaning.....
What a beautiful rendition.
JM does MJ!! Both awesome takes on this song!!
2024 im still listening❤
A really good version to a great song.
I'm sorry, he looks so much like the lead singer of Coldplay, Chris Martin. Chris Martin is my favourite musician and my mate recommended for me to look at James Morrison - He's pretty awesome. Great voice. I'd heard 'I Won't Let You Go' before, but I didn't know it was him. Very good. Chris is still my favourite musician but I like James Morrison as a solo artist very much!
Best cover! I really love the original but I think it's even better to me cause you can really feel the soul of James Morrison and it adds another dimension to the music.
Such a beautiful voice
here at 2020
His voice is HEAVEN...
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As I, turn up the collar on
My favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind pretending not to see their needs?
A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know

Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?
A willow deeply scarred
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed out dream (washed out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh)
I'm asking him to change his ways (oh)

Fabulous cover...SO PERFECT!!!!! ❤👏👏
Like a lot of people, I really like this version more than the original. Michael Jackson’s version was the first was amazing but James Morrison really nails this song. His voice carries so much emotion when singing this song. Kudos!
beautiful voice, beautiful soul, beautiful lyrics. really good
I use to use these lyrics as a life motto…somewhere down the line life happened. It’s amazing how a song can remind you of who you were before life happened ❤
Love listening to James's version of this MJ song as it is more soulful a depth that reaches parts other songs don't reach 🥰
This really nails it, ngl think I prefer this to the original with the spin that James puts on it
I love this cover so much. I love the huskiness in his voice and his passion when he sings, i'd love to see him live.
You made this your own... Nice..👌🏾👌🏾💪🏾🎵🎤🎶🎵🔊
Best version of Man in the Mirror!
truly beautiful.....😊💖💕💟🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶😍😍😍😍
SENSACIONAL!!
One of the Best cover....Great vibe
love this version sm better than the original!!
I will leave you outlined in chalk if you say something like this again
Best rendition for mine ... Says it all really in a lyrical sense ❤
❤❤❤❤
An amazing cover !
He was really famous 10 years ago what Happened?
@@wonderyearsdouche475 He is still a very well known singer song writer though I think he has taken a step back from performing live now. I know some of his family he is such a nice guy.

simply love this..
Deliverance of this song by the Prince Michael Jackson is a very big leap of faith, as he has some major shoes to fill. Being an MJ fan all my life and a fellow Englishperson I love this stripped back rustic version and I think our wonderful James have done us English people extremely proud
Michael Jackson also did a cover of this song.
