2024 James Charles Productions - บันเทิง
“And u promise that I wasn’t an experiment” hits so damn hard
yeah when you realise hes talking about 15 year old boys.
Nothing will stop me from loving James so keep ur hate to yourself
@@user-hv5ks8ye4k that says alot about you seek help.
@@theprodigalyou just had to bring your hateful vibe here ....pls leave you're not needed
literally
Having watched you for years, through the ups and downs you have faced as a creator, I am so profoundly moved by the line ‘are you entertained?’. I literally cry every time. You condensed so much of your experiences and hardships into those 3 words… it’s incredible.
YES!!! this is so true
Perfectly put!
Yess!!
you can tell this song means so much to james 🥺
Especially the dance - A man chasing a boy who doesn't want him that way... Amazingly relatable for James
James you don’t know how good your song really is !! Keep on going your gonna go so far in the music industry I know it ❤
Lonni: "you have rhythm"
James: "WHERE?!"
😆😆😆
Lol
JAMES, listening to you talk about this entire process has given me GOOSEBUMPS, truly happy for you sister, keep it going! ❤❤
THE DANCING GENUINELY WAS SO AMAZING!! your dedication to the Choreo was absolutely stunning and I was blown away by your song and your artwork through the video
@@oogabooga496dude stop hating

James in his singing era is sooo wholesome ❤ I love you
James Charles actually seems really sweet idk why we always keeep cancelling him ... idk about his past but he is dedicated to him work and has my respect for that. amazing song James keep it up
Ikr
@@mallowmarsh4334 Nothing to see, they tried it
That was like 4 years ago I dunno why people can't move one
No I love James, always did. The world is cruel, and knows they’re just bullying him. It actually makes me furious but w/e.
There's a lot of different reasons. Some have more weight than others
I remember waching the dance as a dancer and it was magical ❤
I was having the worst day ever. Went on TH-cam to distract myself from thinking about it and forgot James posts on Fridays. To say my day feels way better. ❤️thank you James for doing what you do. Although it gets hard for you I’m sure I hope you know how much you do impact us.
it's so valuable to see this side of your work. like it's not just fun & games, you're a genuine manager running your brand and it's such an inspiration honestly
James I love that even though all of these toxic relationships you’ve had you still get back up and you don’t just give up I love that about you that you are just so strong and can never be brought down ❤❤❤ James keep it up
Its amaaaazing James! The songwriting, the dancers, the storytelling, you guys did so well. Loved to see the process. 🧡
The music video was so beautiful and so well thought out! Congratulations to you for all you’ve done! Sending you continued love and support!💗
