@@MrJonnyd7606Julian and Sean are great artists. Julian and Sean Lennon are themselves. They’re not their father John Lennon. They’re always compared to their dad
Me too. They obviously tried to stay true to the original, and you can surely hear some of the same qualities in Sean's voice that John had. In fact, I think John would have said that Sean did a great job on the solo that he had said was so hard to sing.
I will never forget this on tv when it aired the first time. Listening to Sean sing stopped my ❤. He gave me pause. Sean,you made your Dad very proud. Not the first nor last time ..
For some reason Dhani Harrison can sing his Dad's songs and be praised for carrying on his legacy. However the Lennon boys seem to get blasted whenever they cover their Dad. Definitely a double standard.
Scott Reed I agree with you completely. I was basing my comment on all the negative things being said in this thread. Sean and Julian are both very talented. It just seems strange how Dhani can sing George's songs and it's fine, but Lennon's sons get blasted.
I am glad to see that Sean chose this song to perform. One of my very favorite Beatles (Lennon) songs. Not the most popular Beatles song amongst the younger Beatles fans. But, shear genius to me. John sang (wrote) this when he was so wide-eyed and unjaded. The pure emotion that John put into it way back then, seems to be understood by Sean. I don't care if Sean is good or bad as a performer, the fact that he did this song, speaks volumes. Afterall, he has his choice of so many classics to do.
I’m kind of disappointed that I haven’t seen this until just now. It’s beautiful. He such a very talented musician and a smart worldly person. I like living in a world with Sean Lennon in it.
Well if he didn't want to be compared so much to his dad maybe he shouldn't sing his dad's song. I don't feel sorry for him. Julian didn't stay long in music cause they compared him to his dad even though rightfully so he wrote and played his own. Sean crucified Dear Prudence and he's living off of John's money they didn't give Julian his fair share but him being older and more mature has stood by his younger brother and tries to help him in the music industry. As Julian now is in photography and goes on tour when Sean is on tour for moral support Feel sorry.
Very touching for me listening to this. So much love there. I was around when The Beatles first became world-wide superstars. Great to hear Sean and his pals sing John's song.
He sounds like John, but more angel like.... we'll be able to see what his father would have looked like through him. Sean is truly a gift from his father.
OMG Sean...this is the first time I have heard u perform. I know u hear this all the time but I loved your father very much and cried buckets that night. God Bless your mother and yourself...John loved you guys so, so much!I I heard your Dad in your voice, yes I did...genetic. I miss him very much, but he will never be forgotten...ever. I listen to him a lot.
Actually, and I say this as a singer myself, Seans' voice is better ie he has a larger functional vocal range plus he's never smoked has he? Never seen him with a cig. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
TheDrunkSpartan1337 OK so he does smoke. Big deal. Are you saying I'm also wrong about S being a better singer? I think you just wanted to type "wrong as fuck" because you're an imbecile.
@@yorch62wayne8 dude all of comments calling people like you a doucebag....hes a different person...stop comparing 2 completely different people please
I think that it is beautiful that John created Sean and that we get to hear Johns songs through him. it can't get any closer than that. I would love to hear some John renditions by Julian.
A really wonderful version of a song that should be much more popular... its a great song! Thanks for posting. I saw this on tv when it aired and was VERY happy to see it again.
I absolutely LOVE Sean. I love his original music and I think he does a beautiful job covering his father's songs. John would be so proud. I am a fan of John's, but can separate the musician from the man. Sean was covering his father's song. Not just the legendary Beatles song. How easily people forget that to Sean, John was just his father. Anyone trashing him should feel so much shame.
Light in the Piazza Wow you are a hateful one. Sean doesn't try to be his father. He looks at his relationship with his father completely different than a relationship with a Beatle. His love of music actually came from being raised around his mother and his brother. Of course Julian is talented and has made great music. Nobody ever said differently. As far as Yoko coming into John's life, that was a decision that John made. It had nothing to do with Sean or Julian. Yes, Julian was hurt by John's actions but he loves his little brother very much and they are super close. Why are you so hate filled and angry? You need some peace and compassion in your soul.
What i really appreciate in this classic.There was a different harmony acostic sound to it.Heart felt spiritual bliss.God Bless You Sean.I can feel the my soul tingle.
The way more talented of the Lennon offspring...Julian...gets crapped on even though he was so almost eerily a twin to his father as far as voice and looks go, and because John loved this kid way more than he ever did Julian, Sean gets all the credit for being John Lennon's son. If Sean's last name was anything other than Lennon the world would have never heard of him for anything.
Lennon was reestablishing his relationship with Julian when he died. Very sad how things turned out. Yoko, of course, is a greedy witch of a woman who truly shafted Julian.
I saw this on tv/pbs the memorial for John, 198? This has been bookmarked for a LONG tim because i remember being so pleasantly surprised at these earnest lads doing a sweet loving version of this sweet loving song... I was touched by this one more than all the rest of the show. Just beautiful. Thanks.
I remember watching this on TV and sobbing. Just thinking about Sean being "this boy" and Chapman being "That boy". I still get chills when I watch it now.
It's a good thing Sean has his late Dad's looks and talent instead of his Mother's. Love this version of The Beatles's hit song of This Boy Sean did a wonderful job in singing it. Thanks for sharing the video. Christine Klinger
Don't be such a horrid person. You can say good things a bout a person without insulting his mother, you know. For your information, Yoko Ono has been one of the most underrated artists of her time. Lots of people slagged her for having the temerity to marry John and a lot of the criticism came out of jealousy and latent racism.
SgtPlmFry: Thank you! I happen to have "Blueside" as well, which is not a coincidence. I'm just blown away by Sean. He's extremely talented, and I've just re-connected with Julian's music as well. Those Lennons are awesome! That goes for the whole Wainright and Thompson families as well. Love them all.
Nobody starts out perfect. The Beatles started out as amateur teen musicians and probably screwed up a few songs. Talent doesn't come overnight. John is probably proud of his son for trying his hardest. He's probably sick and tired of being known as "Lennon Jr", you know, give him credit for trying to sing a song from one of the most popular bands in the world...try being the child of that artist, have no privacy to yourself and have people trying to see your father in you instead of you, it's no wonder he doesn't like being associated with his dad. People are just seeing him as John II and not himself. Give him some credit.
He's right. The Beatles started out doing covers. They played in Germany endless hours for not much pay and were not seen as good in the beginning. 10,000 hours applies to them. I don't think anyone is born talented. Paul's father was a professional musician and the only one with formal training. Drive is another matter.
take away the guy with the very loud and awkward singing voice and this is not a bad cover Sean sounds soo similar to his father😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️(but thats just my humble opinion)
totally changed the meaning of " this boy, wants you back again."
True :(
Rufus wants you in the back, again
People say Sean Lennon can’t sing. They are wrong,. Sean Lennon can sing he his a beautiful voice..
He doesn't sing as good as his father, but nobody does.
@@MrJonnyd7606Julian and Sean are great artists. Julian and Sean Lennon are themselves. They’re not their father John Lennon. They’re always compared to their dad
@@synystersay10m35 Julian yes Sean no comparison he has no voice
Sean, you did your dad justice. Great version and your voice sounds great.
chills... you can hear john through him no doubt. I don't know why but it brought a tear to my eye...
Understandably. Think of all the music we missed out on and Sean getting to collaborate with his father. Makes me sick!
Chillbumps for sure!
He sounds like John on helium
What do you mean "you don't know why"? What a silly comment.
@@susandunsmuir6610😂 funny comment
I've been a Beatles fan for 50 years. This almost made me cry.

Tears of sadness
John Lennon mades this music to tribute Ritchie Valens!!
Me too. They obviously tried to stay true to the original, and you can surely hear some of the same qualities in Sean's voice that John had. In fact, I think John would have said that Sean did a great job on the solo that he had said was so hard to sing.
How old were when first saw them
I will never forget this on tv when it aired the first time.
Listening to Sean sing stopped my ❤.
He gave me pause.
Sean,you made your Dad very proud.
Not the first nor last time ..
For some reason Dhani Harrison can sing his Dad's songs and be praised for carrying on his legacy. However the Lennon boys seem to get blasted whenever they cover their Dad. Definitely a double standard.
Saturn100 I think Sean sounds great here. Don’t understand the criticism.

I think Sean’s tribute was lovely. Obviously he doesn’t sound exactly like his dad, but he isn’t his father. He is Sean.
That's because Dhani Harrison has talent ;)
Julian is great!

Hi Angela, How are you doing?
I love this performance. Just one guitar three voices and a lot of talent. 😍👏👏👏
I’m kind of disappointed that I haven’t seen this until just now. It’s beautiful. He such a very talented musician and a smart worldly person. I like living in a world with Sean Lennon in it.
Thank you Sean❤️cry everyone I hear Sean’s voice “Oh and this boy… “ I can hear the love come thru - but oh my - this boy does that boy proud
Poor guy, always being compared to his dad.

Feel sorry.
LGIN Sholez chill the fuck out it's not that deep
Because he is shit compared to hi dad...
LGIN Sholez he does sing his own music. He’s just singing his father’s song, in tribute to him.
its good the people compares you whit the great the problem if the people compares you whit the shit people
1:11 - 1:14 and 1:23 - 1:26
so much like john it sends shivers down my spine
Nothing like John, Jiulian is more like John and much better voice then Sean
What a treat to hear Sean sing one of his dad's songs. Beautiful.

A mi me gusta como canta Sean pero lo que dices no tiene ni pto sentido
@@xaviersteevencedenoarce6794 wtf jsjsj se re ofendía
There's only one boy who sounds like Lennon, and that is his son Julian.
OMG Sean...this is the first time I have heard u perform. I know u hear this all the time but I loved your father very much and cried buckets that night. God Bless your mother and yourself...John loved you guys so, so much!I I heard your Dad in your voice, yes I did...genetic. I miss him very much, but he will never be forgotten...ever. I listen to him a lot.
One more thing...I know your Dad was smiling ear to ear hearing you sing his songs...
Personally, I think the old man would have been pretty happy with this boy's version.
He has the voice only his father could love!
I agree. There's sadness that he didn't live to see his son all grown up. "I can hardly wait/Till you come of age." BEAUTIFUL BOY
@@audiojim2hank Listen to The Claypool Lennon delirium. He has a great voice. He's a better guitarist than John too
I see what you did there
Fuck yeah daddy 🕺
he,s pretty good, its not easy being john lennon,s kid if you're going to be in music. No one can compare with John.
Actually, and I say this as a singer myself, Seans' voice is better ie he has a larger functional vocal range plus he's never smoked has he? Never seen him with a cig. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Nay, you're wrong as fuck, very easy to find pictures of him smoking

Calbrdg540 LOL, I can't believe you actually got offended by that, chill the hell out.
there is no way he's a better singer than john the legendary lennon. Lennon's talent r one of a kind. RIP John
One of my favourite songs of your Dad’s, thank you for sharing such an emotional moment ❤
I didn't realize Sean had such a nice voice.
This is great brings tears to my eyes, John would love this
Made me want to cry with happiness seeing and hearing Sean do his Dad's song!
Dhani Harrison Should have been there
We’re you not watching the video?
I would love to hear Julian sing this. He sounds much more like his dad than Sean does. Sean sounds like a Yoko/John combo...
MydirtyRat1 for sure
He is a Yoko/Lennon combo... literally
Yeah, youre right

I think that it is beautiful that John created Sean and that we get to hear Johns songs through him. it can't get any closer than that. I would love to hear some John renditions by Julian.
Gauge oh give me a fucking break Sean is not a good vocal performancer shit he sings like a damn broken record already been broken
@@joannaedwards4504 lay off the crack.

Yeah me too 🥺
Gtfoh! get the wax out your 👂. Doesn't sound at all like John.
This is beautiful Sean truly beautiful..😊
at the end if this song, sean cracks a lil smile....his fathers smile no doubt....exactly the same. R.I.P John
I like this version. The boys' voices blend well together & it carries a lot of emotion.
Sean's great! Love his voice.
Friendly fire is a great album and he's got great stuff out there with GOASTT

you have it Sean! you have been bettering and bettering but not only that ...now you are gettin to the point !

Duo Maxwell no your wrong all beatles member are all born talented since they started for the first time watch the quarryman style of music .
He's right. The Beatles started out doing covers. They played in Germany endless hours for not much pay and were not seen as good in the beginning. 10,000 hours applies to them. I don't think anyone is born talented. Paul's father was a professional musician and the only one with formal training. Drive is another matter.
Sean is 42, so not exactly starting out. Still, he's not bad.
Duo Maxwell No. The talent never come, is born with it.
eery. Sean sounds great! I am SURE John is looking down at him and smiling.
John lives in this boy... called Sean ='')
Along with the ghost of Linda McCartney's voice and Heather Mills' missing appendage.
you're crazy
Julien lennon has the talent. not Sean.

John is live with Julian. Sean is his mother...they dont have talent
Great to hear you do that xxxxx
doesn't have the haunting beauty of his dad's voice -- refer you to jealous guy or day in the life
