James, stay in there. You're strong enough. Continue to be your own man, through it all. Most importantly, don't allow into your spirit the essence of fools who post or print hurtful statements. I really enjoy your music, man!
Seriously? He was 36 years old here. You're speaking as if he's a teenager who needs such guidance as opposed to a man who's on the cusp of being middle-aged and who couldn't care less.
wow....many of these comments are rude, uncalled for and ignorant... you either enjoy James's music for what it is or you don't... no need to bash him.
omni434 That quality of voice would be difficult to pass on genetically, since it is incredibly special. Bet it is a thorn in James's side soemtimes because, sadly, his voice is just not very good. :( I hope he never reads these posts..
Julian certainly got some of his father's voice, unlike Sean. It was not meant to be a criticism; merely an observation. I'm sure James feels that there is a lot of pressure for him to be a good musician; but the chances of being a superstar are about a billion to one. He should just enjoy the life he has, I'm sure it's a good one.
Yeah , James has his dad's eye shape and eyebrow shape, only his eyebrows are blond. Also , Julian lennon and Dhani Harrison are exactly like their dad's, which makes people expect james and zac and Sean etc to be just like their dad's as well.
I am about to get shat on for this but I REALLY think he sounds like his father. I don't think he sounds that bad on his own. Bless him for doing what he's doing.
i found this video through metro website with the headline "Sir Paul McCartney’s son James gives seriously awkward interview where he REFUSES to answer questions about his dad " I didn't find him awkward at all, I think the interviewers asked stupid questions and made it awkward for themselves and James McCartney answered highly intelligently.
Sweet voice. Like his style 🎶🎶. He is going through exactly the kind of interviews they gave the 4 favs back in the day 😞 only non sense .🎶First time I 👀 see him🎸
I could'n't even imagine being the son of a musical legend/genius and end up even slightly normal. It is possible that Paul had used so much personality and energy in his life there was very little to pass on. I think people unfairly have high expectations of his son just because of the incredible achievements that Paul has accomplished. I think James has incredible guts to go out there and perform with people having these expectations, and James does have a great voice, but he has a difficult path because of his fathers popularity and talent., so cudos ..big time for James to choose this musical life, as he could of been anything he wanted.

Jesus these comments are mean. The guy is fine. He obviously doesn't do well in interviews and he might be a bit of a shy and reserved person, which is fine. Don't go diagnosing him with Asperger's syndrome or calling him boring just because he isn't as lively as his dad. He's a good singer, and his music is fine.
It is indeed warranted. His music is worse than that of many street buskers, and he has no shred of charisma when speaking, either. Didn't he go to the best schools? Stumped by the word 'prerequisite'? I don't think criticism here is 'mean'; it's totally understandable, given his parents' stratospheric fame and his choice to become a public figure himself. Just hope he's not as vile a personality as Stella (though I do like Mary's character and admire her talents.) Any word on 'Bea' lately? Just wondering.
zelie-catherine r You've never fubbed a word before? Let's tear into him because he stammered during a live interview and mispronounced a word on accident.
Brandon Haygood Of course I have, many times, as has everyone. He didn't even seem remotely familiar with the word, though, on a nationally televised programme. More pertinently, that wasn't my principal point by any stretch. You may want to try re-reading my brief message before slamming it by focusing on one minor facet therein.
zelie-catherine r He seems pretty nervous in this interview, as I'm sure you would be too. There are a number of factors involved but that's no reason to be so damn harsh on the guy.
Brandon Haygood Honestly, I have nothing against him. I'm not here to bash the guy, whom I will never know. I guess I was just a bit thrown by his awkwardness, which wouldn't even be a point of discussion had he not decided upon a public presence/ this interview & performance. He seems ill-suited to it all. Few are cut out for fame, and plenty of celeb kids choose and lead peaceful private lives;he seems to be a prime candidate for just that. Perhaps he feels the need to compete with his sisters, live up to his father's expectations, whatever...pure speculation on my part. But if any of that even has a kernel of truth to it, I feel bad for the guy more than anything else. I'm the mother of sons - and no McCartney - but the last thing I'd ever want is for them to feel that they needed to 'prove their worth' by being something they're not. Fin.

It's gotta be tough in many ways to be in James's position. He will get exposure -guaranteed; which in itself, is a blessing reserved for a select few musicians/singers/songwriters in this world. Only at the same time he will be judged by almost all in this world by his dad's abilities. Of course, his dad happens to be the most successful recording artist (and one of the most loved ever by fans) in the history of music. James's song here is from the heart and not an attempt at a commercial jingle type of a song. I give him a lot of credit. Sounds good. Keep playing YOUR music -this music that seems to talk right at you. You can't go wrong. Good luck to you, James. My only advice here is (yeah I know, as if he will read it!), when you sit down in an interview think about what you really love about making your music. What makes happy, excited, ...like when the lyrics come together and the music you make just really puts you in a good mood and you feel alive and great because of it. When the music you wrote and then perform (play, sing, etc.) is making you feel good, it shows -and it spreads around the room or studio or concert hall or arena -wherever it is you are playing. Sit down at that interview knowing you performed your music here on this day -that made you happy and excited. The good feelings always show -and they will spread. It is good music, James it is from your heart. You've got a great voice. Take your songs into the studio and onto the stage, James, and let your love for them be a part of that music -to all who are listening (as well as when they are watching you). I've loved your father's music ever since I was a little kid nearly 50 years ago. My kids, my baby could feel the same way about your music. How did you feel when you wrote and finished "Strong as you". It must have felt great -and other songs you write, as well. Truthfully, it almost always does when any musician begins playing the completed piece of music he/she just wrote. Let your love and enthusiasm for your songs shine through. Just keep writing and playing music that makes you feel great, and don't ever hold back -rather just let it show, everybody watching and listening will then feel the same. You will soon be onstage all around the world and so I can say ...Hey, James McCartney is bringing his show right here to my area, Well then, ...if there's a (rock) show, of course I'm gonna be there... They got rock and roll at the Hollywood bowl, Long hair at the Madison Square ...Go for it, James!
Saw him live at the Bestival couple of years ago and he was very good. Maybe he's shy or something, doesn't deserve to be panned by all you keyboard warriors though. What have YOU achieved?
Graeme Egerton I take your point bro but what has he achieved apart from being the son of big mac! Should take a leaf out of Julien Lennon's book and learn how to be a musician.
In a way, his personality seems the antithesis of his dad's. Paul is almost too outgoing and James is obviously more reserved. Funny if you compare him to Dhani Harrison, whose outgoing personality is opposite to the quietness you saw with his dad.
@@blackmore4 Can't really tell if he's just insecure or...just a bit rude,he practically grew up in the media,can't be easy being the (only)son of Paul really...Saw an interview with him back when he was 10 or so;seemed cute but not the most talkative person,he lacks his dads'jovial personality,,,but again,Macca is'nt perfect.I think Paul is a good person,but probably not easy to live or grow up with...About authism...Maybe on the spectrum...?Hard to tell from one singel interview.
Oh wow that is such a sugary incredibly nice awesome "unquely yourself" comment. I bet you and all of mankind is proud of that comment. I am so proud of you "You are very talented", too. HA, HA
He looks really uncomfortable like he's afraid to speak more than he has too and shows hardly any emotions. I can tell he has a lot more going on in his life poor guy.
Yes it's a shame he seems to be quite talented and yet not comfortable with entertaining. Some people love being on the stage and engaging the audience and singing to them and this poor guy seems more like it's a chore or something he has to do but really does not want to... it's a shame

He looks very self conscious and has a defensive demeanor about him which stifles his ability to say more than a few words per question. I guess it's tough being a musician if you are the son of such an icon in music. Best of luck to him anyway...follow the heart JMCC
James is a multi talented musician. Like his dad . His lyrics are moving and his songs are very melodic.Like his dads. Paul McCartney honed his stage and personality skills before he was even a Beatle. As John Lennon stopped gaining favor with the press, Paul became spoke person for the Beatles by default. He was Cute polite and entertaining to watch. Not all Good musicians or songwriters are showman, nor should they be. James is starting out in his late 20,s. His Dad was accomplished and moved the world at that age. James has been playing since he was 5.Mccartney started at 14. You can’t compare them. I love The material James puts out. It’s excellent. Who cares how he looks. It’s all about the music. Paul McCartney is 77 not so cute anymore but still has sold out audiences.
keep going James, you've got tremendous talent, several of your tunes seem like they could be hits, I like that you're doing your own thing, I believe it is necessary, just don't give up and trust yourself and your gut
Like his guitar playing & voice. Seems like a reserved guy,I'm certain I'd like him. Feel sorry for him,all those stupid questions! Screw the haters,James! I'm a fan!
Usually people have to claw their way into the spotlight or onto shows like BBC Breakfast. But since he's the son of a Beatle, he's able to bypass a lot of the rough patches on the way to fame. Those tough gigs night after night are what make people learn & grow. (Or give up). He's not really done that. He hasn't had to work for a living. He hasn't learned to work an audience.... He should have changed his name and tried to make it on his own. -- (FWIW: NONE of the Beatles kids have had much success with music. Usually the smart thing for kids of famous parents is to to something completely different. It avoids comparison).
People make comments about whose son he is, but everyone has two parents, and two sets of genes. He has his dad's good looks and his mum's personality. She was awkward in interviews too.
![ความรักไม่ได้น่ากลัวขนาดนั้น (TRUST ME) - LYKN [ OFFICIAL MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9np-lAtCRpQ/mqdefault.jpg)
He has guitar and his voice in front of a microphone on TV, and his Dad is probably watching! This guy has guts!
Just let him be himself and stop comparing.
hes just awkward in front of a camera, fine musician however
Yeah, let him be himself...
Except, he wouldn't be invited to the tv show.
I think he's AWESOME
He seems like a very nice guy. I see a lot of his dad in him. He's also very talented and can sing. I'm so glad Paul was wise enough not to name his son after himself. I am a Junior and my father was and is a legend in the law in California. I chose not to go to law school because it was so much to live up to. Lots of pressure from the name but never my father. He wanted me to be an actor.
@@briandonovan1584 he did name him after himself, James is Paul's first name, which is also his father's.
Nice voice! A pro playing musical instruments! Talented, straightforward, honest, nice guy!
James, stay in there.
You're strong enough.
Continue to be your own man, through it all.
Most importantly, don't allow into your spirit the essence of fools who post or print hurtful statements.
I really enjoy your music, man!
Seriously? He was 36 years old here. You're speaking as if he's a teenager who needs such guidance as opposed to a man who's on the cusp of being middle-aged and who couldn't care less.
Yeah, I don't think his heart was ever in it. This was a vanity project for a recovering heroin user who didn't know what else to do with himself.
Why not invest in his career then? And make a ton of money - assuming your right about his talent.
His dad is a tough act to follow. I wish him much success in his own right.
He seems like a really nice man. I wish him all the very best.
I feel ashamed why I didn’t start listening to James McCartney earlier. Awesome
He does not have to be like anyone else, only himself.
he can't even do that
Well, being personality free and insufferably rude, I don't think that "being himself" is working out too well.
Ok "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia". HA, HA
But that makes no sense. You say this, but he’s talking about Paul the whole time.
He's got a really nice voice

Bet he's a nice guy.
Linda was shy and quiet too. I think he takes after her in that sense.
I dont think he looks like Paul at all.
@@jchow5966 Oh yes he does. He’s just heavier. You’d notice it more if he were a bit slimmer and had dark hair.

That quality of voice would be difficult to pass on genetically, since it is incredibly special. Bet it is a thorn in James's side soemtimes because, sadly, his voice is just not very good. :( I hope he never reads these posts..
Julian certainly got some of his father's voice, unlike Sean. It was not meant to be a criticism; merely an observation.

Yeah , James has his dad's eye shape and eyebrow shape, only his eyebrows are blond. Also , Julian lennon and Dhani Harrison are exactly like their dad's, which makes people expect james and zac and Sean etc to be just like their dad's as well.
James is a lovely artist with a soothing, understated style--very much his own.💕🍀
he ain't artist
He stole that style from some "underrated' unknown music artist who wasn't himself. HA, HA
He’s a very shy guy. Very nervous and also very genuine. Tough act to follow being Paul’s son.
Why would you want to follow in Paul’s steps? He’s a Beatle.
You put the song first so people wouldn't skip it, even though it came after the interview in the original. How lucky James is, he's a lucky man.
He has a unique sound which is perfectly fine with me!!!!!! He went to my hometown unfortunately I was moving up the coast. I wish I saw him perform.
c logue unique yeah !! Uniquely awful !!!
Why not invest in his career then? And make a ton of money - assuming your right about his talent.
i do love the low key"yeah!"a beatles catch word in songs.
I really like his music
This is much better than some other stuff I've heard from him. Good lad. Still waiting for him to join up with Sean, Zak, and Dhani!
PLEASE NO! We don't need that. Ha!
@SunnyDaze-uq8ed Why not? You obviously are too afraid to think for yourself. Why not let me do it for you?
...so they could call themselves "Beatles 2" right? HA, HA
I just love this performance and song. James other material is great too!
Clear and clean voice.
He gargles three times a day to get that "clean voice". HA
Thankyou James u r strong love this song ♥️💜❤️

he doesn't at all though and that's a good thing

Sit down at that interview knowing you performed your music here on this day -that made you happy and excited. The good feelings always show -and they will spread. It is good music, James it is from your heart. You've got a great voice. Take your songs into the studio and onto the stage, James, and let your love for them be a part of that music -to all who are listening (as well as when they are watching you). I've loved your father's music ever since I was a little kid nearly 50 years ago. My kids, my baby could feel the same way about your music. How did you feel when you wrote and finished "Strong as you". It must have felt great -and other songs you write, as well. Truthfully, it almost always does when any musician begins playing the completed piece of music he/she just wrote. Let your love and enthusiasm for your songs shine through. Just keep writing and playing music that makes you feel great, and don't ever hold back -rather just let it show, everybody watching and listening will then feel the same. You will soon be onstage all around the world and so I can say ...Hey, James McCartney is bringing his show right here to my area, Well then, ...if there's a (rock) show, of course I'm gonna be there... They got rock and roll at the Hollywood bowl, Long hair at the Madison Square ...Go for it, James!
James has a good voice.
Brilliant
Saw him live at the Bestival couple of years ago and he was very good. Maybe he's shy or something, doesn't deserve to be panned by all you keyboard warriors though. What have YOU achieved?
Graeme Egerton
I take your point bro but what has he achieved apart from being the son of big mac! Should take a leaf out of Julien Lennon's book and learn how to be a musician.
wight eggy you tell 'em!!!! 😇😇😇👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
freeatlast50 well your outta date.Julian isn't in music much. His main jam is photography for a living.
Oh plus he's a philanthropist
Sorry I’m late LOL! I have a signed CD of James’s somewhere. I’ve never opened it in case it was worth something one day 😊
@@freeatlast50 He already looks like a musician to me. What do you mean by that?
I like his music
In a way, his personality seems the antithesis of his dad's. Paul is almost too outgoing and James is obviously more reserved. Funny if you compare him to Dhani Harrison, whose outgoing personality is opposite to the quietness you saw with his dad.
+cwbellor That's because he inherited his mother Mexican very sociable and gregarious genes.
Reserved? This guy is downright rude. Or maybe autistic. I wish him well but if he's not mentally ill, someone needs to teach him some basic civility.
@@blackmore4 Can't really tell if he's just insecure or...just a bit rude,he practically grew up in the media,can't be easy being the (only)son of Paul really...Saw an interview with him back when he was 10 or so;seemed cute but not the most talkative person,he lacks his dads'jovial personality,,,but again,Macca is'nt perfect.I think Paul is a good person,but probably not easy to live or grow up with...About authism...Maybe on the spectrum...?Hard to tell from one singel interview.
@@peaceandlove544 this is cryptic? where does this reference sit in canyons of your mind?
Love the song James
@James McCartney Live access Hi James, you’re are welcome
I don’t know how to use those yet, but my email is linda.beeston@icloud.com
@James McCartney Live access what about messenger on Facebook?
@James McCartney Live access lol ok I’ll try
Sorry James it just keeps taking me round and round in circles. I don’t understand why you don’t want messenger? I find that easy…
Ps I’ve listened to I am strong enough once again. I can’t get it out of my head. It’s a very sensitive song with feeling.
You can't compare him to his father because his talent is unique to himself. He's very talented.
I love his voice.
Oh wow that is such a sugary incredibly nice awesome "unquely yourself" comment. I bet you and all of mankind is proud of that comment. I am so proud of you "You are very talented", too. HA, HA
He looks really uncomfortable like he's afraid to speak more than he has too and shows hardly any emotions. I can tell he has a lot more going on in his life poor guy.
Yes it's a shame he seems to be quite talented and yet not comfortable with entertaining.
Some people love being on the stage and engaging the audience and singing to them and this poor guy seems more like it's a chore or something he has to do but really does not want to... it's a shame
ye poor guy .Heir to a billion quid hehe
Money isn't everything after a certain point. Poor can be applied to a lot of things e.g. health.

it amazes me.. he looks just like Paul in a way, but yet they're so different.
He sings beautiful
Just lovely - just lovely. HA, HA
James, your great....
Like Paul but quieter like his mum. Hard to live under such a HUGE shadow. Keep playing James!
With encouragement like that he'll probably try to climb a Mount Everest and then release a quadruple cd set. HA, HA
Nice. Song. Beautiful
Biscuits are nice. Nice ain’t good enough.
He looks very self conscious and has a defensive demeanor about him which stifles his ability to say more than a few words per question. I guess it's tough being a musician if you are the son of such an icon in music. Best of luck to him anyway...follow the heart JMCC
I don't think many of us can ever begin to grasp the pressures on him. I guess he developed armour to cope.
James is a multi talented musician. Like his dad .
His lyrics are moving and his songs are very melodic.Like his dads. Paul McCartney honed his stage and personality skills before he was even a Beatle. As John Lennon stopped gaining favor with the press, Paul became spoke person for the Beatles by default. He was Cute polite and entertaining to watch.
Not all Good musicians or songwriters are showman, nor should they be.
James is starting out in his late 20,s. His Dad was accomplished and moved the world at that age. James has been playing since he was 5.Mccartney started at 14. You can’t compare them. I love The material James puts out. It’s excellent. Who cares how he looks. It’s all about the music. Paul McCartney is 77 not so cute anymore but still has sold out audiences.
keep going James, you've got tremendous talent, several of your tunes seem like they could be hits, I like that you're doing your own thing, I believe it is necessary, just don't give up and trust yourself and your gut
Why not invest in his career then? And make a ton of money - assuming your right about his talent.
@@91dodgespiritrt thought about it
@@RJLKMRD It's put up or shut up time, doncha think? HA, HA.
@@91dodgespiritrtI'm going to do it, his song "Glisten" is fire, check it out
...He knows His music.
I like this man and musician a lot! People should stop comparing him to his dad or the Beatles! He's his own person and unique!
Well he's a bundle of laughs, isn't he? Life and soul of the party!
+JayJay Tailor Looooooooooooooooool. Your comment made me laugh out loud for some reason, that doesn't happen often
+JayJay Tailor ha ha yes-he should tell a few jokes ha ha
that was great, JayJay! lol ha ha
HA HA he he-personality plus!!!! yay
prob a bit nervous. UNDERSTANDABLE!!!prob knows he is/will be compared. SEEMS very sweet n kind.
Your a sweet heart😍 do your thing😍
Mr fucking personality
GO JAMES!!!!
Give him a break guys - imagine having the McCartney name around your neck - more of a hinderance than a help I should think.
I agree...
around his neck? Would he even be on the TV if he wasn't his son?
I will answer that question which is definitely NO.
Double edged sword. But he does have a choice about whether to use the name or not.
Yeah, such a hinderance. Give me a break. He wouldn't be able to gig a coffee club if it weren't for his name.
Epic comb over
Nice voice! It's important to stay developing his own style!!
Like his guitar playing & voice. Seems like a reserved guy,I'm certain I'd like him.
Feel sorry for him,all those stupid questions! Screw the haters,James! I'm a fan!
If only he had to read the stupid comments that are even worse. He should start my reading yours. LOL
These guys had a tougher time interviewing this bloke than they would have had with Paul. No wonder he never went anywhere.
Talent plus
Awesome vocals!
HE'S SOOOOOOOOOOOO"AWESOME" IT'S AMAAAAZING. HA, HA
@@91dodgespiritrt No need to be unkind. His vocals are ok.
@@rebeccaanderson9917 There was definitely a "need" and I filled it admirably.
@@rebeccaanderson9917 His vocals are fine. It's your LONG face I object to. HA, HA
Usually people have to claw their way into the spotlight or onto shows like BBC Breakfast. But since he's the son of a Beatle, he's able to bypass a lot of the rough patches on the way to fame. Those tough gigs night after night are what make people learn & grow. (Or give up).
He's not really done that. He hasn't had to work for a living. He hasn't learned to work an audience.... He should have changed his name and tried to make it on his own. -- (FWIW: NONE of the Beatles kids have had much success with music. Usually the smart thing for kids of famous parents is to to something completely different. It avoids comparison).
Absolutely! Very well-stated...
People make comments about whose son he is, but everyone has two parents, and two sets of genes. He has his dad's good looks and his mum's personality. She was awkward in interviews too.
Beautiful song and voice to go along with it. Talented guy
Beateful voce.
