It's kinda wild to think there was a time where "Jack Black is a good singer" was such an unknown thing, that a movie could literally build a whole "reveal" moment out of the discovery that he can sing. :)
@@zoomerjack5435 the album “tenacious d” came out in 2001, “tribute”was number one in the kerrang charts for years, he was well known in the rock scene by the time school of rock came out. They’ve been around a while but they only really hit it big when tribute got released.
Back in his days, his vocal range was really good, and all this soul he puts into it. It's entertaining and impressive at the same time, he's da man, man! Cheers to him
This was the first time I'd seen Jack Black in this movie, I laughed til I cried during his scenes. He sings great, there's something twisted and sexy about him.
yup. I love this movie and It's been a while since I've watched it so I went back for a little taste. Also, one of the few cases where the movie is better than the book imho.
High Fidelity is one of my favorite movies. There were some awesome scenes with Jack Black. He just changed that movie around with such little screen time. Legend!
I love the TV-edit version. When he walks into the shop while they’re listening to Semour Stein, he goes “HOLY SNOT, WHAT THE FROG IS THAT?!?” Instead of “Holy Shiite, what the fuck is that?” 💀 Makes me crack up every time. …”it’s the album we’ve been listening to and enjoying, BARRY.”
He is very talented but it is his vibe of happiness that connects with people I think and the fact that he respects all of the fore fathers and mothers that are legendary and created the path of music we know today😊
Yeha I wished we would have gotten more tenacious d like rize of the phenix, that was an album with somewhat serious songs. But I guess with so much talent he just isn't allowed to bless us with serious songs :D
You can't help but LOVE his fucking magical pipes, the confidence and the range this dude has with his voice, honestly makes me want to become a better singer and practice everyday
his vocal range has no bounds and or limits... and his guitar work is second to none..... and his acting...well that goes without saying... and almost without even trying the talent just flows from this man.. and in my opinion a true master of so many talents today and hopefully for many years to come
now let me start by saying im prob one of the biggest tenacious d fans out there and then let me end it by saying my man sucks ass on the guitar.. ive seen them live 5 times :)
Nice flashback..everyone looks so young here. Love Jack Black always & 4ever..& he is a genuinely talented singer, along w/his amazing acting skills. 🙂🙂☮☮✌✌💕💕
Jim Carrey would be an obvious funny, and they would be from the same era, but Seth Rogen comes to mind for me. Although, Miles Teller and Dylan O'Brien would be a good duo as well
I don’t care how old you are or what generation your from but when you hear Marvin Gays lets get it on you all get into a groove or start singing the song . I was never a product of this song it came out like 2 weeks before I was born .
This remains one my favourite movies ever. No one could've played the roles as well. It was utterly, perfectly cast. Cusack's character, with a different face/demeanour, would've been loatheable. Black's character could've easily been extremely annoying- instead he's endearing. Tim Robbins as Ian is sheer brilliance. Bonet was wonderful as a footloose touring musician. And I don't know where they came up with Hjejle, but she nailed all of her emotional moments, reacting with a perfect mix of exasperation, irritation, guilt, and love. Even the small roles of the ex-girlfriends, etc were wonderfully done. Damn... now I want to watch it again.
I already knew about Jacks vocal talents before watching this film, but I can imagine how awesome it would have been to watch this film with no knowledge of him. John Cusacks reaction is so great. Damn, I'm gonna have to watch this film again now. It's still one of the best adaptations of a book I've ever watched, despite the fact it completely moves the setting from the UK to the US
I enjoy the song, and the movie. It's a nondescript little movie that never gets old, and is always entertaining. It's too bad we don't have movies like it today.
I remember seeing this movie first run in the theatre before knowing who Jack Black was. I recall thinking “who is this guy who is absolutely stealing the show”. Then when this scene comes at the close being absolutely blown away and asking “WHO IS THAT GUY??” Seems like it was a common reaction. Glad he got a pretty good run of movies and that Tenacious D is widely known now.
jack black is an all all around great singer no matter what he sings. He even did a Good mythical morning episode with Christmas carols and random genres and he kills silent night and shit.
They set up his character in the movie as a goof, and a poseur. Black wasn't famous at the time, so this scene was a coming out party of sorts. I remember that my reaction was similar to Cusack's.
Jack Black's voice is one you hear that you think is bad but then you can't help but hear his range and Power and begrudgingly admit it sounds pretty damn good
If you're first impression of a Jack's voice is bad then it's because you have bad taste and knows nothing about good singing voices. Anyone one with an ear and some knowledge of what sounds good will categorize his voice as good and extremely controlled. He goofs a lot but that has never overshadowed his talents.
"And if you feel, like i feel SHUGGAHH." Classic.
You feel like Meshuggah?
Ivan Lunev nie
does it djent? hahaha
Prabu Philip and that stage pressence too though
Take it easy, my fellow Djentlemen...
And he does not need . . . A Microphone. He voice is . . .
POWERFUL
🤣 Tenacious D
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Master Exploder!!
It's a movie. That audio isn't recorded during the filming of that scene. The entire thing would sound like shit otherwise.
@@CottonKerndy2000 it's a joke. 🤭
Jack is a fucking awesome singer seriously
:-D ya it's true
Yaaas Haha So seriously,he sing so good
Master Exploder!
Nah, he's not even singing seriously
Bitch no
From heavy metal to soul, now that's what you call vocal diversity.
BR34NY Tenacious D brought out a jazz album as well (it consists of only one song - 'Simply Jazz' but it's still an album). :D
BR34NY its soul or R&B? ._.
@@milten00001995 It's not an album. That's called a single
Very true
don't cover it...if you don't like...fat ass Jack....
It's kinda wild to think there was a time where "Jack Black is a good singer" was such an unknown thing, that a movie could literally build a whole "reveal" moment out of the discovery that he can sing. :)
It’s never been an unknown thing people just had shit taste in music 🤣
@@Killakatnage89 This was before School of Rock
@@zoomerjack5435 the album “tenacious d” came out in 2001, “tribute”was number one in the kerrang charts for years, he was well known in the rock scene by the time school of rock came out. They’ve been around a while but they only really hit it big when tribute got released.
Yeah This was his first big movie and they immediately used his vocal talent.
@@Killakatnage89 right and even then, this movie came out in 2000, so almost nobody knew he could sing yet
When I grow up, I want to be Jack Black.
keep dreaming kid, keep dreaming
Start with the belly :D
Jack Black never grew up that is his best assest
ish474 lmao this is so funny but true hahah
Let me know when you are. I might marry you then.
An iconic moment in modern cinema. I wish I could erase my memory and watch the scene again for the first time.
John Hodgson which movie is this
Aditya L high fidelity
I'm bout to watch it for first time 😉
*flashy thing
Patience! Stay alive and your wish would be granted
Why is everyone so surprised. He's a great singer.
back then he wasn't that famous, this was his breakout as a singer for a lot of people, haha : )
I'm just surprised every time at how amazing he is. Isn't that an amazing skill to be able to wow people at every turn?
Back in his days, his vocal range was really good, and all this soul he puts into it. It's entertaining and impressive at the same time, he's da man, man! Cheers to him
I came knowing how amazing Jack Black is, I left even more surprised and happy then I already was with his talent.
Perhaps he didn’t play himself. Just a thought.
This was the first time I'd seen Jack Black in this movie, I laughed til I cried during his scenes. He sings great, there's something twisted and sexy about him.
He's a sexy guy...
It’s the skills and the confidence.
And chubby, man!
“A COSBY SWEATAHH!”
@@mephostopheles3752 Funny way to spell money and fame
he's got to be one of the most underrated vocalists of all time and I'm happy it's finally being realized! The man is a living legend
There's always the "underrated" guy. Never fails.
@@LodvarDudelol damn you're right. I became that huh. 🤦♂️ 😅 At least it was for Jables though.
check out Matt Berry

He and Kyle killed 'Wicked Game.'
I just simply LOVE Jacks cover...and this whole movie...forever and a day
Heyyy,what movie is this?
@@Ashutosh-wp6kc it's called High Fidelity with John and Joan Cusack
@@quamby1able thank youu
What is the movie called 🤔
@@sharonheinsohn6338 High Fidelity with John and Joan Cusack
I've heard him sing a lot but those first few lines still surprised me.
Anyone here 2019 after watching the GQ interview?
Adam Rasmussen me
Yes
👍🏼😂
yup. I love this movie and It's been a while since I've watched it so I went back for a little taste.
Also, one of the few cases where the movie is better than the book imho.
Ok, going back to the interview :)
biggest plot twist ever
Mike Wargo It is certainly up there. It elevated the movie for sure.
Mike Wargo Until Predestination
Mike Wargo what movie is this from?
High Fidelity
name of the movie
¡???
High Fidelity is one of my favorite movies. There were some awesome scenes with Jack Black. He just changed that movie around with such little screen time. Legend!
Good sir, i'd like to thank you, for naming the title of the movie!
Cheerio then!
I love the TV-edit version. When he walks into the shop while they’re listening to Semour Stein, he goes “HOLY SNOT, WHAT THE FROG IS THAT?!?” Instead of “Holy Shiite, what the fuck is that?” 💀 Makes me crack up every time.
…”it’s the album we’ve been listening to and enjoying, BARRY.”
His facial expressions are all over the place, I love it
Exactly...and it hit me the opposite way. This is actually the moment I started having a feral aversion to his painfully self aware performing style.
Jack Black is a national treasure and we must protect him at ALL COSTS!
The way he sang sugar. I laughed so hard!
IKR 😂😂😂
Pianist with Attitunes CJ Lynn Me too!!!
😂😂😂
Yeaaah, me too!!!
Shuugah 🤣
We played his version of this during the cake cutting at my wedding. Well worth it.
He is very talented but it is his vibe of happiness that connects with people I think and the fact that he respects all of the fore fathers and mothers that are legendary and created the path of music we know today😊
This scene was a lot funnier before we all knew jack black could sing
Jack Black is literally one of my ten favorite male singers of all time.. not joking
Same. His voice is perfect.
Yeha I wished we would have gotten more tenacious d like rize of the phenix, that was an album with somewhat serious songs. But I guess with so much talent he just isn't allowed to bless us with serious songs :D
I'm terribly sorry.
This was so funny because he was so against Barry playing. This scene, the walking on sunshine and Ian getting crushed by the aircon....pure gold.
You can't help but LOVE his fucking magical pipes, the confidence and the range this dude has with his voice, honestly makes me want to become a better singer and practice everyday
I imagined him singin' it as Kung Fu panda
Where is KYLE ?
Facts, I always imagine Po singing this.lol
Probably the most perfect ending to any romantic comedy, ever....!
This is not a Marvin Gaye song
This is a tribute
somebody watched gq
Yeah yeah....
Yes it is
Had me on the first half not goanna lie

I love Jack Black with every fiber of my being. I just wanna karaoke with him ONE time. It's on my list.
This was 12 years ago...and he still makes me weak in the knees! ❤
It was uploaded to youtube 12 years ago. The movie came out 23 years ago.
Something tells me that some people watching this are unaware it's from the film High Fidelity and everyone was unaware JBs character could sing
I'm just unaware where this film came from
It came out in the late 90's. Wasn't exactly a big money picture but was big on the rental scene.
William Essex best movie
Exactly. I remember going 😮
Jack black is my favorite singer and favorite actor. This mades him my favorite man.
Nice flashback..everyone looks so young here. Love Jack Black always & 4ever..& he is a genuinely talented singer, along w/his amazing acting skills. 🙂🙂☮☮✌✌💕💕
Cusack looks soooo young.
oh ya, Jack still gives me chills!
Looks like Mr.Shneebly, A.K.A. Jables, knows how to groove.
Noah Siañez Hahahaha on point
Jack Black's band has been around for over 18 years, but he seldom sings this kind of music. Yes he is a singer and he can sing almost anything.
2023 called and they want you to listen to Jack Black sing 'Wicked Game.'
Jack Black is truly awesome 👌🏾
This clip heals my soul
One of the greatest moments in cinematic history.
I love JACK BLACK!!👍🇦🇹😷
Jack Black is wearing such an amazing shirt right there; miss those crazy shirts of the 90s
I love how he seems to mean every word of the lyrics it's very powerful
Jack Black is so talented. This came out before School of Rock - his masterpiece!
this guy is so good. good singer not only this song i others and he is damn good... thanks Jack always love ya man
Fantastic voice. JB is amazingly talented.
Jack Black would make an excellent Jake Blues remake. We are up to find a good Elwood, yet.
what about dan akroyd? he's still alive after all. :P
Andrew Murphy Well, I meant to say a full new remake. They could also use James Belushi for Jake :P But it is not the idea
Bodega Bodegón Jim Carrey.
Jim Carrey would be an obvious funny, and they would be from the same era, but Seth Rogen comes to mind for me. Although, Miles Teller and Dylan O'Brien would be a good duo as well
Ansel elgort
This is such a great movie. This song at the end of the movie hit me for real. For me the moment when I learned about the great skills of Jack Black.
This scene made this movie awesome. And it was already great.
Which movie is it ?
@@blur4771
High Fidelity from 2000
Jack Black is an awesome singer
Jack Black is the only voice to bring tears to my eyes
Yea, he is pretty sad 😂
This movie should speak to every musician everywhere!
Second favorite version of this song. Jack Black is a national treasure.
Jack Black is a true gem of a performer.
0:55 best part
Jack Black has an unbelievable set of pipes.
I also love 2:04
Dylan Muir thank you, Dylan. Very cool!
John Belushi comes to mind.. similar look.. similar style. Love it! Ha ha this brings a smile to my face. I suppose I'm on a mission.
Jack is phenomenal. He’s got it going on. Kudos, Jack! Keep doing you!
I don’t care how old you are or what generation your from but when you hear Marvin Gays lets get it on you all get into a groove or start singing the song . I was never a product of this song it came out like 2 weeks before I was born .

jack black has such a wide vocal range
Came because of the GQ interview.
Iben is just ... drop ... dead ... gorgeous. She came over here and did this gig, returning to the continent to be a huge TV star. What a babe.

Jack Black's coming out party into popular culture. High Fidelity is a great movie!
He is a real talent.
Is it me or is this version better than the studio Jack Black recorded for this song
Wilson I know, I wish they released this full take...
@@davidrich27 No. No it isn't. Marvin was the master
@@carloslmno It isn't what? That's not even a sensical response to what I said.
That's because he went all out here. Was his first big break and he screwed up the first take. He went all in on the second one
@@carloslmno they mean the jack black studio take
The one that blew me away was when Jack n Jimmy Fallon sang, “More than Words”💯🤩🤩
