Ronald is one of a kind. On top of being enormously gifted, he is a genuinely nice person. This is the Star Wars equivalent of having Jar Jar Binks judge Yoda !
Key point: Just about everyone here is backing this dude, I just bought both cd's from the website. He is an inspiration to musicians all over, and what a wonderful message he brings. Simply do what you love and you won't need to be rich. I have a rich uncle who's been single all his life and had a few heart attacks last year. He hasn't really done anything at all with his life. I don't see why an excess of money is important to so many people. Do what you love.
Ronald has grown a lot on the inside over the past few years and he's very articulate and highly intelligent. He's a musical genius with a style all his own and we're *very* fortunate to be able to be his audience here on UA-cam. Ronald is a real-deal artist :)
I like this guy because he is humble and sincere. Not like so many of the self-centered pop musicians who think they are the center of the universe. Thank you Ronald!
"Quirky keyboards?" ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! How DARE you call the absolute MAGIC that RJ creates simply an act of silly piano playing. Obviously, these people have NO idea of the complexities and richness of his sound. Have they even seen Stay Crunchy or Throwing Fire all the way through for that matter? Do they think that anyone can do that? What Mr. Jenkees does is nothing short of miraculous. He is truly phenomenal.
Crazy to think that people would question whether you can make it big on UA-cam back then. How times have changed. Ronald was ahead of the curve, and is one of the few originals who are still going.
Ronald, the day you spice up your videos more akin to a traditional music video is the day I'll stop listening. What we see in your videos is a man with complete and utter passion for what he does and delivering music most of us couldn't even dream of writing. You feel it hard dude, we can see that and we love it. Carry on good sir!
Ronald Jenkees has more soul than the three of those douchebags combined. Keep doing what you're doing, dude. I learned about your music through Bill Simmons podcast, and now I can't get enough. You're doing what everyone else wishes they had the BALLS to do- living their own dream on THEIR terms. God bless ya.
what has happened to Ronald Jenkees? He's the best I've ever seen, writing, producing & playing. Some say he's passed away, but I can't find any reference to that. All I can find is over a year old.
Today's show is 'the media', not 'the music'. But Jenkees is doing both with his music and his YoutTube persona. He'll succeed, because what he does is good and people like it. Keep up the volume, Ronald!
like he said, he doesnt plan on getting rich he just wants to get by doing what hes doing and have fun. if he wanted to make a lot of money, he definately could. jenkees has produced one of my favourite songs of all time!!
These news people are why products that come out today are crap and don't last as long as things from the past. Ronald is keeping old school and cares more about his passion then the all mighty dollar.
The man is a musical genius.....to have him on a show like this is just sickening. Ronald is one of, if not the, best musicians I've ever seen. It's raw passion and talent. It's not a fucking business.
You can't fake raw, genuine and honest-to-goodness people like Ronald Jenkees. He does what he does because enjoys it. Not because of blah blah or yada yada.
She wasn't making fun of him. The segment was titled "So you think you're an entrepreneur." The entire point of the interview was to highlight his talent and his entrepreneurial spirit.
Whale Fail??? Really??? It's been 14 years now and Ronald is still here and still slingin' some of the most fire music around. Anybody know where these other 3 wannbes are? I didn't think so. Karma baby. Keep jammin' and having fun Ronald!
Guys, they aren't judging him. It's Fox "Business". these are analysts by trade. They are assessing his business model and viability. It's just a matter of opinion based on a 2 min conversation. It's not pretentious. You people need to loosen up. We all know Ronald will do and be just fine.
That guy doesn't get Jenkees, I mean, ffs, Ronald is all about the MUSIC. He's not some ego-centric celebrity who divides his priorities into whether they make lots of money - or not and that's why he's my favourite artist. I mean, he'd rather you pirated his album, then not be able to listen to it ! Best Music Producer I've ever had the joy of listening to.
These people only care about making extravagant amounts of money. But Ronald just wants to pay the bills and enjoy what he does. I bet he's much happier and more satisfied with his job/life than most people making more money with a bigger business.
The two right ones were nice... and the left one was just being honest from his POV. Lefty didn't say he disliked Jenkees character or music, he simply wasn't persuaded by the business model (he's wrong btw, but that's his POV). I'm as ready to hate on Fox News as the next guy but this interview was actually pretty innocuous and easy-going.
Fail? He can't see it making money? You heard the man! Six dollars per album download and I BET he has had more than 1 million downloads. Do the maths. And yeah it's maths where I'm from, not 'math'.
They're just the sheep that follow the popular vote. Geez, the people made Drake a superstar. What a joke. This, is music. Pure, EARNED talent and enthusiasm. I'm a very long time fan of the Jenks, and I always will be. Keep ticklin' those ivories!
Silly with the "pass" and "fail" cards or judgement. It would be a great interview without the judgement. The fail guy is talking all about money and making money but Ronald is doing it mostly for fun...I think Ronald enjoys making the music more than making money off his music. Why is it always about the "money"...what happen to doing things out of passion and a hobby or doing it for the fun?
Ronald Jenkees is the best. His music had been in my playlist forever!
It's 5 years later and he is doing pretty well.
+GoodguyGastly Whats he doing?
Making saucy beats as usual!
Better than that obnoxious host on the left, for sure.
they're borderline harassing him. he's as cool as they come. one of the most talented individuals i've ever heard.
Ian Houldsworth well Said!

Do what you love.

Ronald is a real-deal artist :)
WelshWidgetMan2O1O lol real-deal? He's an act
😂🤡
I like this guy because he is humble and sincere. Not like so many of the self-centered pop musicians who think they are the center of the universe. Thank you Ronald!
Aw, he's so sweet. It's so nice to see a genuinly talented artest who's such a nice person.
Jenkees slaying these clowns in 2017.
So eloquently put. I agree wholeheartedly! Jenkees is pure music at its heart and soul. He is a genius.
These guys really disappoint me. What a horrible, unprofessional interview. So rude. I bet Jenkees will soon become a legend in his genre of music.
What are you talking about you stupid twat
Except for that one idiot all they gave him were props
It's Fox, what did you expect.
oboyy It was unprofessional though.
oh trust me! im a friend of Ronald, he already has!
I love this guy.
Honey, the Jenks don’t need to spice anything up. We love him just the way he is. A fabulously nerdy musical badass personified.
Ronald's music is amazing and I haven't heard much else like it, I hope the man goes big!
Those music notes were so well drawn...wow...
PASSION. Thank you finally someone understands that it isn't about the money. Music is about doing what you love.
Hahahaha! 5 years later and Ronald Jenkees is a legend!!
My personal favorite #GuitarSound
Keep it Ronald love your work!
imo this was an interview via a trio of robots. when I first heard Jenkees it was like hearing jimi hendrix, so much soul and passion.
money comes and goes. his music will be timeless.
"can you really make a career out of silly videos on youtube"
Me in 2023 😂
Glad I wasn’t the only one thing the exact same thing.
That fail didn’t age well at all. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Quirky keyboards?" ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! How DARE you call the absolute MAGIC that RJ creates simply an act of silly piano playing.

Do they think that anyone can do that? What Mr. Jenkees does is nothing short of miraculous. He is truly phenomenal.
This ladys wording about my man Ronald is like an audible form of lobotomy. How completely deft and musically uneducated, this newscaster is a joke. 😂
Crazy to think that people would question whether you can make it big on UA-cam back then. How times have changed. Ronald was ahead of the curve, and is one of the few originals who are still going.
What a sencere, talented, passionate dude. Has been a fan for years.
Found out he's from Kentucky. My life suddenly means something. Keep up the good work bro. I love your tunes.
Oh good! The nobody reporters have 'passed' the legendary Ronald Jenkees. What a joke.
Justin Stein HAHA right? Was thinking the same thing. Soulless, vapid idiots, giving their approval to a frikkin demigod! What a joke! :-D
Ronald, the day you spice up your videos more akin to a traditional music video is the day I'll stop listening. What we see in your videos is a man with complete and utter passion for what he does and delivering music most of us couldn't even dream of writing. You feel it hard dude, we can see that and we love it. Carry on good sir!
I don't know whether to give this a "thumbs down" for the vapid Fox interviewers or a "thumbs up" for Ronald F'n Jenkees, The Great.
E Win it's a dilemma.
Ronald Jenkees has more soul than the three of those douchebags combined.
Keep doing what you're doing, dude. I learned about your music through Bill Simmons podcast, and now I can't get enough. You're doing what everyone else wishes they had the BALLS to do- living their own dream on THEIR terms. God bless ya.
"Gah-ha, that's funny."
The part where my face instantly frowns.
bro is still banging out cds and getting millions of views. Got a new crib all new equipment. Been a fan for over a decade.
Such a humble, awesome, talented human being.
I found Ronald Jenkees on Pandora! Keep rocking buddy!
Quirky keyboards? Bitch please!!
RJ is, a LEGEND
ronald is beautiful. reread that sentence with the period. He is so amazing.
I think that the fact that he is having fun making music is the best part. You can really hear it in the music itself.
Man of talent and respect! Keep rockin RJ!! Found you on Pandora and love it all!!
"I'm not trying to get rich." Just that phrase, and all its depth, probably went wayyy over these talking heads' heads.
I dont need to say anything about the reporters. Everyone else did that for me. I just hope that they see the comments.
Love this guy...super talented and seems pretty genuine and goofy lol
Jenkees is a much nicer guy than he should've been to them. God bless him for succeeding at his own thing despite people giving him the thumbs-down.
Omg from MY town! I had no clue, been listening to him for awhile! Rockin!
Not many TV channels have the honor to get the legend on show!
I wish he made more videos...
Dumbest interview I have seen ever, RJ is a legend.....
Keep up the happy soul!! we love it.
what has happened to Ronald Jenkees?
He's the best I've ever seen, writing, producing & playing.
Some say he's passed away, but I can't find any reference to that.
All I can find is over a year old.
it's only a matter of time before we see this guy wherever he wants to be.
Today's show is 'the media', not 'the music'. But Jenkees is doing both with his music and his YoutTube persona. He'll succeed, because what he does is good and people like it. Keep up the volume, Ronald!
0:15 How disgustingly vile and pathetic can they be?
Right on Ronald. People CAN see when you are fake about your music. And nothing about RJ is fake.
i got Ronalds 3rd album the other day. Love it.
That says it all =)
Pretty cool to see this video floating about.
like he said, he doesnt plan on getting rich he just wants to get by doing what hes doing and have fun. if he wanted to make a lot of money, he definately could. jenkees has produced one of my favourite songs of all time!!
YOU ROCK BRO KEEP IT UP!!!!! DO WHAT U LOVE
Yeah that fail at the end was pretty disrespectful. Lets just say that Ronald has more than enough talent and brains to CONTINUE being successful.
RingoTV Reactions introduced me to Ronald Jenkees.
why is the sound screwed up??
These news people are why products that come out today are crap and don't last as long as things from the past. Ronald is keeping old school and cares more about his passion then the all mighty dollar.
The man is a musical genius.....to have him on a show like this is just sickening. Ronald is one of, if not the, best musicians I've ever seen. It's raw passion and talent. It's not a fucking business.
You can't fake raw, genuine and honest-to-goodness people like Ronald Jenkees. He does what he does because enjoys it. Not because of blah blah or yada yada.
Anyone who thinks Ronald doesn’t have money should listen to It’s Gettin Rowdy. Dude is fucking ballin’!
I love your music
These reporters sound like the very first reporters trying to explain the internet to the home audience.
what was that song in the beggining
throwing fire
why do a news station have a bar in backround? lol
I love how he made it.
😂 they ate those words. You were the first to break UA-cam 🔥
She wasn't making fun of him. The segment was titled "So you think you're an entrepreneur." The entire point of the interview was to highlight his talent and his entrepreneurial spirit.
I don't think he knows how condescending they were. This show doesn't deserve an audience.
Whale Fail??? Really??? It's been 14 years now and Ronald is still here and still slingin' some of the most fire music around. Anybody know where these other 3 wannbes are? I didn't think so. Karma baby. Keep jammin' and having fun Ronald!
where's this guy been or been up to for the past two years. Anyone know?
The guy is a musical genius, why he would even need anyone's approval of this "simply because it is not a typical source of revenue" is beyond me.
Ronald Jenkees is talented and super awesome chap
The show is called "So You Think You're an Entrepreneur"
Guys, they aren't judging him. It's Fox "Business". these are analysts by trade. They are assessing his business model and viability. It's just a matter of opinion based on a 2 min conversation. It's not pretentious. You people need to loosen up. We all know Ronald will do and be just fine.
Ronald should make music for movie sound tracks, hes so good
Jenkees probably makes more than mr.fail dude over there, which in my opinion is hilarious
What a sweetheart
hes so modest about his work.
Amen Ronald amen
Ronald Jenkees is my hero.
This guy is amazing
How do you tell someone "They are failing", when they are not failing? Is this show canceled? I bet it is. If it's not, it should be. Only on Fox.
judging a music genius omg i literally rofled
That guy on the left is a fail in life - Ronald is living his dreams and not allow some lack of talent telling him what to do.
That guy doesn't get Jenkees, I mean, ffs, Ronald is all about the MUSIC. He's not some ego-centric celebrity who divides his priorities into whether they make lots of money - or not and that's why he's my favourite artist. I mean, he'd rather you pirated his album, then not be able to listen to it ! Best Music Producer I've ever had the joy of listening to.
The funny part is that he probably now earns more than all 3 of them together.
jenkees rules..what an inspiration
These people only care about making extravagant amounts of money. But Ronald just wants to pay the bills and enjoy what he does. I bet he's much happier and more satisfied with his job/life than most people making more money with a bigger business.
Classy guy, as always. You don't have to be a millionaire to be rich.
is there audio in this or is it just me? serious question.
10 years later "whale fail" is worth 3 million 😂👌👌👌
such a nice bloke old ron!!!
this guy ain't a fail. he's making money by doing what he likes. not many people can make money by being theirselves.
I fucking love this guy
The two right ones were nice... and the left one was just being honest from his POV. Lefty didn't say he disliked Jenkees character or music, he simply wasn't persuaded by the business model (he's wrong btw, but that's his POV).
I'm as ready to hate on Fox News as the next guy but this interview was actually pretty innocuous and easy-going.
Fail? He can't see it making money? You heard the man! Six dollars per album download and I BET he has had more than 1 million downloads. Do the maths. And yeah it's maths where I'm from, not 'math'.
I would say "Disorganized Fun" sold 1 million, even at half a million sales he's still a millionaire.
yall dumb as hell.
That one friend who invites you to play a new game and then doesn't let you learn how to play hahahah best username ever
This is like those lost names in the greek ministry overseeing Plato or like the Catholic Church judging Copernicus' actions.
They're just the sheep that follow the popular vote. Geez, the people made Drake a superstar. What a joke. This, is music. Pure, EARNED talent and enthusiasm. I'm a very long time fan of the Jenks, and I always will be. Keep ticklin' those ivories!
Yo Ronald, you the man....
Silly with the "pass" and "fail" cards or judgement. It would be a great interview without the judgement. The fail guy is talking all about money and making money but Ronald is doing it mostly for fun...I think Ronald enjoys making the music more than making money off his music.
