Dude, for real I accidentally heard your song LET IT GO playing in the background as an American Idol told her story. I repeatedly tried to catch up with the lyrics and googled some a few lines of it. Eureka! I found it. A few days past, I shared it to my friends and they can't get enough listening to all of your songs. The day is over and we're caught on the bed doing nothing else except from listening to your giftedness conquering geographical barriers. Long live! More songs!

I literally died of laughter. 😂 I’ve never noticed that.

two words; good lord... This guy's extremely talented. I hope he gets the success he rightfully deserves.

I just realised that being a singer-songwriter is such a brave thing to do; you're pouring out your innermost feelings that are so personal, but managing to relate them to everyone out there. Beautiful song, man and that guitar strap is lovely!

It takes pure talent to keep an audiences attention with just a guitar. This guy is freaking awesome! I am so jealous

I truly don't have any word's that can explain the way he performed this song live, my word's really can't even EXPRESS the way I felt while listening to his performance, let alone the LYRICS and MELODY. It just set's a certain EMOTION to my soul, anyways I feel like many people have talents, but this young man here, JAMES BAY got a GIFT!!

I love the simplicity! No big band and dancing... Just a guy and his guitar lighting up the stage!!!

Absolutely amazing. He sings so effortlessly with such an unique tone. Needs more recognition.

Your voice is so raw and holds so much passion. It gives me chills. In a good way.

Can't stop listening to this and several of his other songs. James Bay, what an outstanding up and coming artist...

Every time I'm about to start doing something and decide to play this song in the background I end up finding myself staring at the computer screen and just.. listening. That's what this performance does for my thoughts, it stops every single one of them. Mind-blowing.

He deserves more exposure. I've been listening to him since before his first EP and this is the first time I've seen him on American TV.

Just started listening to this guy two days ago. Bought tickets for his show in a week yesterday. If that doesn't show how incredible this guy is, for me to fall in love with his talent so quickly, I'm not sure what will.

i seen James Bay in Edinburgh when he was supporting Nina Nesbitt. I waited around to get a autograph by Mr James Bay and it was so worth it, Well done James i had total faith in you. Peace out buddy.

words can not describe how much i love him.

hes beautiful. pure voice. I love the part "theres no force on earth could make me feel right."

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG MY NEW OBSESSION LOVE HIS TONE

Needs more views because this is his best performance! It's calm and he hits the notes perfectly. I really like his pace in this one too it's perfect really. Eventhough he seems a little bit nervous he manages to make his performance effortless. I dont know how many times Ive watched this one... his performance game is on point! ♡ Amazing job! ♡

To a singles, (including me) may we find our soul mates at the right time 👫 👬 👭

Man I respect people that can sing live and in person and sound better than recording. GREAT TALENT. And play an instrument on top of that.

to play and sing at the same time is hard .... but to sing so effortlessly like this is amazing

That. Was. AMAZING!!!

UGH i can't take so much beauty. what is this man.

Real Music. How many people are in a relationship that they feel is changing them for the worst? Just be you and let it go.

I am speechless ♡ I am begging you come to Chicago and let me just for a while rest my soul listening to your voice .....

Proud to be British, it’s the home of good music

Wow! Beautiful song and voice!!! and also he is soo handsome !

wow...absolutely right. this is actually live? this is some fucking amazing talent it gives me goose bumps.

+Steven Middlehurst I have never met a girl or woman named Isaac, but I know about ten boy Isaacs. It is never appropriate or called for to call someone a f*g or any other marginalizing insult. Some people are homosexual. Some people are African-American, some are East Asian, some are Native American, some are Jewish, some are women. Does that give you the right to make fun of them for who they are, to belittle them for their very identity, to look down on them because of how they were born? Absolutely not. You should be ashamed of yourself. Children who watch this video and scroll through the comments will see yours and think it's okay to insult their classmates in this manner. This is how each generation grows up to be like this. Each generation learns these terrible things and ideology from the last. And things will never change for the women and the minorities until we can look within ourselves and see our wrongdoing and change that.

I've been watching a lot of his live performances of this song, I think this is my favorite.

i have no words to say except i'm in love with him

You can't even imagine how proud I am of you.

he's the legend!

Dude has the pipes hitting these notes is difficult

He's really good! I can't stop replaying this.

James Bay is just perfect. Definitely doing a cover of Let it Go at my next gig

Theres something special about an artist who can sing in an awesome voice and play simple tune on a acoustic. Very simple but if done right...keeps you listening over and over

love love love it!

Oh MY GOD I Freaking LOVE This SONG!! I will listen to it all dang time he is a dang good singer

beyond great live performance..just wow!

I love him so much omg

I'M SPANISH, AND I LOVED THIS SONG!!! IT IS WONDERFUL!!

his voice is heart breakingly beautiful!

This is truly a rare occurrence. He sounds exactly the same as the record, an even better! Not to mention, the lyrical awesomeness of this song paired with his vocals, it's just everything.

I love this😩🙌🏾
