2024 James Charles Productions - บันเทิง
can we talk about how INCREDIBLE the dancers are??!!?!!
omg yesss
easton and erick are phenomenal 😍😍
my thoughts exactly !! sooo AMAZING
@@angeliquemalysko4272 Are they a dance duo themselves already?
@@JustDiscipline they dance in a lot together yes
This is a beautiful music video. Honestly, there’s something so humble about watching a music video, that doesn’t showcase the singer/artist as the main character. The singing is amazing, and I love how the dancers get the spotlight and are able to showcase their own talents and abilities. Such a masterpiece, this is a win for James Charles 👏
Humbling. Not humble.
It’s a pile of auto tuned crap
We do not care😂😂😂@@jamezxh
Stop glazing so much.
When he lifts him up high just to drop him.. I felt that.
lol
I know right that drop was personal lol
“YOU TOOK ME TO YOUR MOUNTAIN TOP AND THEN YOU THREW ME OFF.”-Rod Wave🥺😭
Yes!!! Omg
Can we talk about how EMOTIONAL that bridge intertwined into that quieter chorus “you said I was your everything” JAMES YOU ARE BORN FOR MUSIC.
Can we talk about how YOUNG those little boys were?
bro the knock on the door at “they say insanity is to do something about a millions time” SHOOK MEEE this is amazing james!!!
My absolute favorite line. It sure struck a nerve
Noah Davis is a lyrical genius!
That part reminded me of when Michael Jackson would knock on the little boys' doors to join them... No relation, just a reminder
i cannot deny how beautifully this music video was made, from james’s captivating vocals to the brilliant actors choreo. Its just simply a work of art, well done.
One doesn’t have to adore the person to be able to respect when there’s talent, and I have to give praise where praise is due 😊
The fact that the dancing tells more of a story than the song itself, is beautiful ❤️
I am just so incredibly impressed that despite all of the hate James endured for all of these years, this was such a slap to all of them and worked EXTRA hard to prove everyone wrong. He is far from a quitter and puts his everything into what he loves to do!

@@Marvell3000 yes please
genuinely might be the best music video i’ve ever seen. the dancing is so passionate and incredible. my jaw was quite literally on the floor.
you must've never seen Sia's music videos..
If this is the best you’ve ever seen you have not seen many or you have bad taste
Eminem better
If this was the best video you've seen, then imagine how low the bar is for your lmfao.
it doesnt have to be the best to be good, idk bout you fam but this shit was lit
This actually made me cry, such beautiful singing and great dancers. Well done James ❤
This was absolutely breathtaking. the symbolism of there being no walls truly shows how vulnerable you become in these situations. I am so in love with every aspect of this.
James surprised all of us 🔥🔥
first reply luv ur chaneel!
Omg Erik!
I love your channel!
Yur
hey erik
The dancers have me absolutely hypnotized... The words to the moves... I'm hurt in the best way...
Literally listening to this in a bus full of people... About to cry 😢❤ it touched my heart and it means ur doing something right baby boy🥰🥹
I am absolutely in love with this!! Amazing job James the vocals, choreography, everything is amazing!! This is beautiful 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😻
Hate him or love him,this song is actually reallyyyy good!!!
Agreed
isn’t he a pdf file 🤔
@@702d02he’s not
@@702d02Are you?
Right?! I’m so impressed! ❤️🎉 it made me gasp
GUYS IM CRYING WHAT😭
Same cs why is it so relatable
no because i just watched for the first time and i actually cried like the whole time
@@adambakkehaug9471 REAL, HE'S SO GOOD?
Seeing the musical evolution of James Charles excites me and I love it, this song is undoubtedly art and it touched my heart
I honestly can't.....this was SO beyond breathtaking. I feel so proud and honored you shared this with us and allowed yourself to be so free and vulnerable with the lyrics.
Hi
james, i dont think ive ever heard you sing so beautiful in my life. the dancing. the message. the emotion. its so beautiful.
This is so powerful it got me crying 😢
This might be my favorite music video ever. The choreography, the music, the cinematography just fits so perfectly together. I’ve watched this so many times. Well done James👏🏽
I was not prepared for this relatable masterpiece 😭😭
This is so inspirational to me because for years people ridiculed James singing, most people would just give up. But he literally said I'm gonna show you, I'm gonna work hard and you'll see I can do this. And he did. I don't condone things that he has done but this is absolutely beautiful and the full song is even better than I expected it to be from the snippets. I am blown away. James, you should be incredibly proud of yourself, you did it dude. This is beyond stunning.
He hasn't done anything? You believe those liars talking to him then going to social media for clout?
its amazing how good music production is now that they can make anyone sound good! James probably did a lot of work to give them so many samples to work with so they could really Frankenstein a decent song out of it!
@@omgmo1962backhanded asf lmao
all of yall are bots istg ☠️
@fyodor6872 because we like the song? Like grow up
Love him or hate him this song and video is incredible 🙌
Omg i get the chills listening to this. Its just so beautiful
James is probably the only celeb i know that uses his resources to improve his skill because he literally caught me off guard with this. Instantly added to my Spotify
@@betobarrientos4492 imma be honest I don't LMFAOOOOO I dont pay attention to them. But most of the ones I see don't carry themselves like james
This dance is BREATHTAKING the dancers did so well the choreography and set match the song perfectly!!! This almost made me cry it’s so good🥺
I.....didn't expect to cry...
This is absolutely beautiful.
THIS SONG AND CALL ME BACK ARE AMAZING
Did James Charles like ur comment
Yh he did
YESSSSS
Stream Taylor!
This is better!
crying throwing up SCREAMING!!!!! absolutely breathtaking. every single second😭😭😭😭😭😭🤍
I love you so much
@@JamesCharles I know many people through the years have been saying bad things about your singing, but this is a masterpiece. Is so great to see an artist do many different forms of art. I wish you the best. If you need me I will be listening to this song for the next 10-24 hours. Once again good job James. I wish you the best !!!!!
uhhhhh get help if you do that to just a song (just saying)
@@nerdygeek9865how about you grow up
@@Freyah_Hawthorne I think she need to
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL THE BACK AND FORTH THE PUSH AND PULL I FELT IT ALL. WELL DONE JAMES AND DANCERS AND PRODUCTION TEAM!!!
Is four inches small to you?
Ugh this is done so beautifully and it's so visceral and raw. I feel like it really captures what happens when you're trying to do something outside of God's will; you get a different set of problems. The guy is trying so desperately to find love in the wrong place and by doing so he is just hurting himself. It really breaks my heart! Please know that God loves you and he really wants the best for you! I know it can be hard to believe at times, but it's true! John 3:16
People never get happy when others do something good. Instead of criticizing only the negative aspects of people, also criticize their positive aspects. James, you did a great job, congratulations, great.
Bro, you cannot call his actions "negative aspects"...The messages with little boys and the fact there has been no consequences... It's incredible
i am cryyiiiinngggg 😩😩😩
the hoodie getting roughed up each time they dance then finally he takes it off of him
symbolizing how much he's been giving to this situationship and not getting anything back and how much he's lost himself breaks my heart 😩😩
waiit, another symbolism.. after the bridge when he lifts him up so high then drops him all the way to the ground.. it symbolizes how he feels when the person is around, they give you everything at that moment then when they leave they take it all away and you're left at your lowest, kinda like an addiction 😩
THE DANCERS ARE SO INCREDIABLEE❤❤❤OMG SLAY JAMESSSSSSS AAAAAA
I'm crying...wow!!!!!😭😭😭
THE BRIDGEEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH🤧🤧🤧
It took the song to another level, love a good bridge. He did such a great job and Noah too!
so beautifully choreographed.. i actually cried. such a smart move to let others be in the video
it choked me up as well
SAMEEEEE😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s so nice to see you grow on your singing journey, this song totally proves all of it ❤
This song is so good! As a dancer I love the choreography. I'm in awe of how good the dancers were able to convey emotion on their faces and how well they worked together to tell the story of the song! I couldn't look away the whole time I watched it!
JAMES THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, i absolutely couldn’t take my eyes off the music video, i really felt the emotions and teared up, please never stop making music, i actually really really love this 😭💗
The way the dancers carried out your message. Just beautiful.
OH MY GOODNESS!!! i am shocked! JAMES!?!? THAT WAS SO GOOD! I knew that you could sing but oh my goodness that was beautiful. Props to those dancers too. You are so talented in so many different things. make sure to never let the people in the world get you down, because you are amazing and deserve so much! 💜💜💜
Yes, he is extremely talented in all the "other things"
THE DANCERS 😱😱 ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL 😩😍👑👏🏻
I'm literally stunned at how beautiful this was 😮
Am I the only one who thought the dancer was james 😅 but man this whole thing was emaculent 😮❤❤
OMG BRO THE DANCING WAS JUST SO MUCH LIKE OMG!!! THIS SONG IS SO GOOD AND IT HAS SM MEANING! We love you James. *Dancers also good that was amazing*
yet again give james a hug, cause he is really opening old wounds with this😭😭😭
OMG JAMES UR A GENIUS 🤯🙌, the last shot of “you” being next to a phone ☎️, still waiting / hoping he would CALL YOU BACK even after everything he put you through, is LITERALLY the cherry on top 😩🤌✨.
The attention to detail is ON POINT.
3:47 for those that missed that sneaky detail 😎, here you go 😘
Wow this was so so good!! Everything about it!!
The choreography is absolutelg gorgeous, so much emotion and love those dancers put into it, it shows. So Talented. ❤
James, you are making it! You are amazing! You've been through so much, and I think I finally can see you brighter than ever. I've been following you for years now; I'm a true fan, and I hope one day I get to meet you.
james the music video and song is truly beautiful. you’ve depicted a story that’s so relatable across the lgbtq community. you’ve grown so much and it shows, very proud. such an artist in many ways ❤
I’ve been with James for years, and seeing his passion for music and vocal skills evolve this much gives me goosebumps. This and call me back have me in a chokehold. I think we all see that James was destined to create art in more ways than one.
“Are you entertained” hits different with earphones.
Their dance was able to tell a story of turmoil and hurt. One knowing what they want and the other scared of what they want.
JAMES ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! This is literal art!!!
This is a masterpiece
This song its soooooo good, i was literally crying while watching the music video😭. Pls make more songs James😭🙏🏽 YOU ARE A BLESSING!!!
I was not expecting Ms. Charles to come thru like this 👏
Not the fact that James and the actors ate that, such beautiful singing and songwriting, and can we talk about the choreography. goosebumps for sure.
I’m 42 and have lived a much longer life than most watching this but this was such a beautiful masterpiece! You can feel his raw pain and most importantly this is so relatable. This should be number 1. You will go far. Oh btw I’ve been watching you since like 2016. You have come so far. Congrats :)
WOW this is extremely powerful and beautiful. I've got chills. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
i was NOT expecting it to be this good omg 😭
Why? He’s been very talented from the beginning doing bob ross shit on his face, to singing in front of thousands to surviving Jeffers star. What you expect? It’s perfection! And he killed it!
The part that made me cry the most was when he was blocking the door.. such an amazing song. 🎧
Omg this is so beautiful wtf James
Who ever composed this; deserves recognition. The lyrics and arrangements are beautiful and soulful
9hrs?! 😭 JAMES 😭 I NEED TO SEE IT NOW
AHHHH HE LIKEDDDDD

the part when he kept trying to come through the door was very powerful. THIS WHOLE THING WAS BEAUTIFUL!!
SO PERFECT LOVE YOU JAMES
Obsessed is not the right word to use for this video. What a beautiful story told! Thank you James for speaking for people who indeed went through this. So beautiful ❤❤❤
The dance portrays the lyrics and the song so beautifully. So proud of you James! Can’t wait to hear more!🫶🏼
James that was truly beautiful and you should be extremely proud . That choreography the song the set the lights, everything was amazing
Speechless I’ve never really been a huge fan of James, but this song.. mhmm. *Master piece*
The words, the rhythm, the melody, the dancing, the setting…. My god. I’ve never had goose bumps like it. So soothing yet so deep I absolutely love it I’m screaming… is this my new favourite song…. Umm yes I’ve listened to it about 50 times now ❤
the way I cried so hard to this is crazy. James, I am so proud of you and what you have done with your music. you really have grown.
