No singing Good is the Most important Thing No Matter what and Jim Carrey Certainly Can and Dose Sing Well. He sounded Great in this and in his Micheal Bolton Skits.
Maybe its my ear tuned with a difference. But the way he sang this in his own personal method was rare, brutal, and a masterpiece. I feel you Jim. Live on brother

My opinion as a vocalist: he poured his heart out in this song. He might not be a gifted singer, but I truly believe he really did his best and was expressing deep emotions and love for this song. It honestly makes me happy because he wasn't really that bad and it takes sooooo much courage to do what he did. Perhaps easier because of his fame but in some ways harder to be taken serious being known as a comedian. Personally, I found this pretty interesting.
As a vocalist myself I disagree; I think his voice has so much potential, he'd just needs to polish it if he wanted to actually sing. You can tell his tone is beautiful
@@orimengu this is a response to both people, As a beginner vocalist but expert song listener: i agree with both of your opinions in both ways.

He’s gifted. He can sing much better than this but he’s keeping it down for show. You couldn’t convince me that he’s not a gifted singer. He can act his ass off.
Imperfection is perfection. This is one of the best versions, covers of this songs, simply cause he means every word and it's heard and felt. For once he's not acting and he's being a human being. His eyes say it all

Have you ever listened to a different song from Radiohead? They're the furthest thing from uplifting and wholesome messages. The point of the song is how the singer stalked a girl in college because she was beautiful and angelic in his eyes but questions why he's doing it, ultimately getting drunk enough to talk to her and scaring her away. It's a story, it says what it means, there's no underlying concepts or positivity, it's just pain and anguish.
I'd be honored if some 90s-era Radiohead fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of HIGH & DRY and "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the most iconic 90s bands. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe.
Mark Tracy+ A lot of people have said the majority of comedians attend to be people who are addicts, depressed, ADHD and other issues, but that they also make phenomenal actors, especially for drama films or movies that are darker. I think that could be pretty accurate of a lot of comedians turned actors of the last 30-40 years.
The lyrics really fit him. Hes always been a weirdo and comedians are secretly depressed. They just have a better way of covering it up. The brokenness in some of the notes he was hitting really suits the quirkiness of the song.
Disagree with the generalization 'Comedians are secretly depressed.' On stage they make fun of themselves or others to express on the spectator's behalf what bothers, burdens or interests him or her. Artists like comedians are just normal people with problems like everyone else. Sadly, Robin Williams got lost on his way. 🙏 Maybe he would have needed a true friend to listen or to talk freely, day or night? Better than pills.
The meaning of" depression"is very controversial. Deprived? Someone has taken away what You should own as a human being. Pressured ? Who exceeds pressure on whom with which right? Fashionword without meaning. Bad teachers, sloppy parents and many politicians feel disturbed by annoying questions and too fast disturbing questioners are classified as 'outsiders', possibly depressed , put into drawers as nerds or creeps. Think for Yourself !
The worst depression is when deep down you're a happy person, and depression is the shadow that clings to you and doesnt let you be happy. But you still pretend.
@@Ashley-zi1ic Only if you're looking for perfection , if you're looking for something different in music , this cover has it all . This cover is a clear sign of what was to come for Jim Carrey , hindsight is 20/20 , you can clearly see and hear Jim Carrey's Pain in his singing . This cover is so much more than a few flat notes , it's life at its worst and best time . Jim Carrey hating life but loving every second of this performance , the best and worst that life has to offer someone all at the same time .
My parents raised me to understand that comedy almost always comes from a dark place. Some of the funniest people, ie Robin Williams, are also some of the ones struggling the most. You'd never think it, looking at them, but they're just as fucked up and human as the rest of us. Moments like this where you can kind of get a glimpse of that part of them are breathtaking and so incredibly powerful.
Robin Williams has literally nothing to do with your done to death sad clown cliche. he had lewy body dementia. he was not a victim of depression smiling through tears at the world. stop using his name for your agenda.
Actually comedians on the level of Robin Williams often made me question "What is he hiding" to have such constant and spontaneous reactions to everything and anything that was said. I do not mean to diminish his MONUMENTAL talent but looking through the lens of a psychological observation, diversion is one of the greatest tools that a manic depressive has in their arsenal. The crux of the dilemma is they want help but don't want to ask for it hence the outward obscuring of said problem.
The irony is: George Martin (Beatles producer) put out an album near the end of his life -- I *think* it was called "In My Life" -- which featured people he admired performing songs of the Beatles, and Jim Carrey's "I Am the Walrus" made me really double-take. It was an absolutely stand-out track, and formerly I barely had any idea he could even carry a tune. He absolutely *nailed* that song, and not only did he completely make it his own, but I feel it holds up against the original version, believe it or not. Sure, he probably had limitless takes to perfect it, but the guy undoubtedly has pipes. (And I imagine Lennon had a few tries, himself.) Solely because of that track, I'll easily overlook this performance as a drunken and/or emotional one-off. The George Martin track is *very* much worth looking up. In fact (forgive me-- I never ask this), if anyone can upvote this comment so I can find it again, I'll do everything in my power to return with an edit that links to Jim's "I Am the Walrus," so you can hear for yourself. (Respect, Mr. Carrey, and R.I.P., Mr. Martin) Edit: I found the Walrus track with ease, and getting back here wasn't actually so hard after all, but I'm gonna leave my original post intact and just drop this off: ruclips.net/video/M0Gz5zbGONk/видео.html
@@jaerivus thank you for the link I'll check this out it sounds interesting Edit: wow he definitely has the potential. He's a painter, maybe he could actually branch out into singing next? He really did a great job there. He brought his classic Jim Carrey personality into it as well which was great to watch
He also said money doesn’t make you happy, from his New York City penthouse with his hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of paint and nothing but time to slap some colour on the canvas and want for nothing. Don’t get me wrong, I get what he’s saying, but also stop.
Yeah the line between comedy and tragedy is indeed thin. But not just comedy, all creative types, Music Art, Comedy they're all tortured and messed up. That's why we relate 🤔😶😉
That's true Geof, I think that's what fuels their creativity...the ones in the public eye have it the worst though, I believe, cause when it's time to "go on", they have to, regardless of how they're REALLY feeling...imagine being terribly sad n you've got to start filming, so you have to go out there n act as funny n happy as you possibly can...when the filming stops, I think I would be sadder than ever....n I think they feel like they have to be "on" all the time also n that would suck...going out to eat or to the club n STILL feeling as if you can't be your true normal self, cause hey, they gotta be "on" ALL the time, right?!?! I couldn't do it....
@@foxxybrown7606 Judy Garland, Liza Minelli, Van Gogh, Mozart, very troubled people but on the edge of madness lies genius. I notice it's mostly the really intelligent ones. Billie Connolly is another , Andy Kaufman who Jim Carry played. Lots of suicide amongst these types too. True tragedy.
LMFAO! Kurt Cobain would've probably paid to see that, hahah! He loved to butcher his own music(especially "Smells"), watching someone else do it would have put a smile on his face no doubt.
A big thing about Jim Carrey singing this, he knows his vocal limits, he drops his tone an octave lower, or at least tries, to keep singing without his voice completely breaking.
@@watzitoya5821 Thats kind of what i mean by he drops his voice by an octave (though i might be using the wrong terminology) so that it can still be 'correct', just in a different tone so it still sounds nice.
@@HereticFox An octave is when you sing in key the same note but much lower on the scale. You know how you can keep singing up until you end up singing the same note just much higher. The note you start at is an octave lower than the one you end up at. What I'm saying is that Jim here isn't singing an octave lower than the original song, he's actually singing mostly the same notes.
@@watzitoya5821 I'll agree on that! I was mostly commenting on when he goes high once or twice you can almost hear his voice crack, and then he drops it down so it doesnt, I guess as the prime example.
@@HereticFox I get you! We're in agreement. Yeah, his voice sorta cracks, it's a very hard song to sing and I agree he's actually managing his own range very well and adapting his voice to the song.
Mr. Carrey could sing anything and I’ll probably cry. His comedy has been like a friend to me and my friends. His acting has carved my best friends and I’s relationship. Love to see this man’s work on anything he does.
I keep coming back to this cover because I feel like the way Jim sings it is the way that it is meant to be sung. It's meant to feel messy and a little silly and stupid, because those are the emotions that Yorke was feeling when he wrote the song. The way that he belts out the chorus just feels perfect. Perfectly human. Love this with all my soul
This is LITERALLY my favorite cover of this song. Mainly because you can tell how much fun he is having and how good the energy is. You don’t need a perfect voice to be a singer. I’ve seen professional bands tank because their energy was off and they weren’t having fun with it. Protect this man at all cost!
I had to play this one again. First, I never knew Jim could sing. This is not an easy song to sing. You see, so many of the greatest comedians are the saddest people in the world and have had tragic lives. Jim Carrey you are definitely special.❤❤❤❤.
Heartbreaking...even though this video is 11 years old, you can feel his distress when he says " I'm a weirdo". Must be hard to live in the head of a genuis.
Jim Carey's head bangs at the distorted guitar pumps at start of chorus really were great, and the way he says Fk'in special without any sense of shame, absolutely brilliant
@@johnvanhal2450 it's just cos he's a renowned actor and comedian, loved especially by younger audiences, a lot wouldn't swear if it isn't part of their image
He acquired his fame later in life. In an interview, he said he was glad it happened that way otherwise he might have killed himself (didn’t actually say that but mimed like he was shooting himself).
Jim has lived an extraordinary life and really made something of it. I don't know the guy but I'm proud that he is part of the collective one that we're all part of. I believe he sees life as some crazy trip and he's put his all into trying to be his best version. He's done a better job than me so for that he's an inspiration. Much love to Jim, what a great cover!
This cracked me up, lol. Do I know why it cracked me up? No I do not, but I'm OK with not understanding some of the things I do, and I feel like Jim Carrey probs totes relatifies.
Just realised Jim Carrey could've totally played Phoenix's Joker. He actually has great drama acting range and can do amazing facial tics. This is a man who could play a great many characters with remarkable depth... but he just doesn't like doing them for some reason.
He could and he should. Maybe it's because he won't or that he just doesn't get cast? He is my favourite actor by a landslide, but he is so unique that he's basically created his own genre, which might make it tricky for directors to "take a chance" on him...
The fact that he can sing it well, and still feels he has to clown... is it because he's so immersed in being silly, comical that it just comes, or is it his shield from the world, and he felt too vulnerable without it? Couple moments in there I felt like he showed more than he wanted to....
he just hides his true persona, he is scared of showing sad emotions. its a memorized mechanism. i have the same shit .... when something bad happens in my life i literally smile with my eyes looking empty, or i say a joke.... its a terror bcuz many ppl dont realize its a defensive mechanism
@@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it yeah.... I hide behind a guitar, I can barely socialize with anyone beyond intimate friends, but a guitar is like a mask for me, I don't feel like the same person , I'm always confident in most things, I just become "flat" if I don't have something to do constantly, think too hard. plus the feedback from a crowd amps me up I suppose. Later I'm so depressed, I can barely function for a day. Life was a lot simpler back home, everything makes me miss a farm I couldn't wait to put behind me.
It's that same quality that makes him an incredible actor and comedian but never quite trusting of his own identity due to everyones expectation of him. Very much like Robin Williams
@@edgy7903 We all die eventually. It is inevitable. One day all of us will perish in the same instant and that is the day that I will rise again as the ultimate being: Raminus Polus
Ha ha. I wasn't aware of the sex change. :-P But Ihope Jim Carrey doesn't kill himself..really...It will be like losing a very old childhood friend that you somehow grew distant from a long time ago.
Jim Carrey *can* sing. I think this cover shows that he converted his skill in comedic timing to a dramatic/poetic license to emphasize the tone of insecurity in this song’s lyrics. That’s why he goes off key and loses pace with the band. Therefore, this cover is just as good as Radiohead’s original version. ETA: For everyone who is saying he can’t sing, listen to this song that he sings in different styles. Start about 0:50 into the clip. ruclips.net/video/hN6KOZTyl_A/видео.htmlsi=RuP2IsEEkwoyHJYI
There are two types of singer that sing badly. Those who are terrible, and those who are so good that they can sing badly on purpose. Jim Carrey falls into the latter category.
lmao no. Your psychoanalysis is wrong. A person's intent of portrayal of feelings isn't going to magically turn bad singing into good singing. He just can't sing, plain and simple. To say this is "as good as Radiohead’s original version" is delusional and quite frankly insulting to Thom York and the rest of the band. You're trying to clutch at straws to justify his attention seeking. This can be nothing more than a bit of fun. But a bit of fun doesn't equal art or skill.
I’m a former actor (failed lol!) but I always say: Every dramatic actor cannot necessarily do comedy-but every single great comedic actor can do drama. Beautiful performance of the song, Jim!
Agreed - apart from Leslie Nielson, I can't think of many actors who successfully transitioned from drama to comedy. Yeah, the fact dramatic films have more pay and prestige probably helps, but you'd think it would still happen every so often, right? I reckon it's because in order to be a good comedian, you need to have an understanding of what makes people laugh, what makes people tick, have empathy.Which is also why I reckon that a lot of edgelord and hard right comedy falls flat - laughing at other people because they disgust you only goes so far...
All this old stuff is getting recommended because it’s the end of the decade Edit: Thanks everyone, for all the likes! I hope your 2010s were memorable and that your 2020 is unforgettable!
This performance was very good in a punk rock sort of way. As was said before he clowns around, but still conveys raw emotion that really sells the song. Truly this performance was far better than 90% of popular music today. If I’d heard this not knowing it was Jim Carey, I’d still have been interested to hear more.
Right the goofiness to emotion switch was VERY punk, I go to a lot of local and diy shows and I see a lot of similarities, maybe he was in the punk scene for a lil at some point?
I think this is coming from his heart. I love Jim Carrey's drama work (much more than his comedies) and think he should've been nominated for Oscars for both The Truman Show and FOR SURE....Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Yeah he sang well, I'm sure that if he warms up a bit, he can reach those high notes just right, and it's not like the original song sounds much better...
Something about this video just speaks to me about Jim Carrey , it shows his true emotion of his view on himself and the world , and also at the same time describes his personality.. basing on the his past relationships and how he suffers with depression sometimes. But I would like to tell Jim Carrey that his work in films has made the world happier , he is very talentive and I hope he continues to live life and keep making the world laugh or be wow'ed at his art :)
I love randomly coming across gems like these once in a while. Some good ones don’t need to be viral. Our kids’ kids will probably never know who Jim is, but they’ll have their own heroes that they reminisce about as they get older.

It’s also an emotional song, you gotta put feeling into it for it to hit the same

The beauty of this song is you don’t need to have a perfect singing voice to make it sound good, it’s kinda like the point of the song.

@@Ashley-zi1ic Only if you're looking for perfection , if you're looking for something different in music , this cover has it all .
This cover is a clear sign of what was to come for Jim Carrey , hindsight is 20/20 , you can clearly see and hear Jim Carrey's Pain in his singing .
This cover is so much more than a few flat notes , it's life at its worst and best time . Jim Carrey hating life but loving every second of this performance , the best and worst that life has to offer someone all at the same time .
it sounds so bad it basically is a joke cover
My parents raised me to understand that comedy almost always comes from a dark place. Some of the funniest people, ie Robin Williams, are also some of the ones struggling the most. You'd never think it, looking at them, but they're just as fucked up and human as the rest of us. Moments like this where you can kind of get a glimpse of that part of them are breathtaking and so incredibly powerful.
Comedians can make many laugh yet not a single soul can return the favor. 😢
Even Gabriel "fluffy" Iglesias turned his divorce of his wife of almost 14 years into a joke
Yep. Laughing gets you through a lot of shit.
Robin Williams has literally nothing to do with your done to death sad clown cliche. he had lewy body dementia. he was not a victim of depression smiling through tears at the world. stop using his name for your agenda.
Actually comedians on the level of Robin Williams often made me question "What is he hiding" to have such constant and spontaneous reactions to everything and anything that was said. I do not mean to diminish his MONUMENTAL talent but looking through the lens of a psychological observation, diversion is one of the greatest tools that a manic depressive has in their arsenal. The crux of the dilemma is they want help but don't want to ask for it hence the outward obscuring of said problem.
Yeah he's not a trained singer, but he's obviously working through something here. Have you never sucked at karaoke before?
The irony is: George Martin (Beatles producer) put out an album near the end of his life -- I *think* it was called "In My Life" -- which featured people he admired performing songs of the Beatles, and Jim Carrey's "I Am the Walrus" made me really double-take. It was an absolutely stand-out track, and formerly I barely had any idea he could even carry a tune.
He absolutely *nailed* that song, and not only did he completely make it his own, but I feel it holds up against the original version, believe it or not. Sure, he probably had limitless takes to perfect it, but the guy undoubtedly has pipes. (And I imagine Lennon had a few tries, himself.)
Solely because of that track, I'll easily overlook this performance as a drunken and/or emotional one-off. The George Martin track is *very* much worth looking up.
In fact (forgive me-- I never ask this), if anyone can upvote this comment so I can find it again, I'll do everything in my power to return with an edit that links to Jim's "I Am the Walrus," so you can hear for yourself.
(Respect, Mr. Carrey, and R.I.P., Mr. Martin)
Edit: I found the Walrus track with ease, and getting back here wasn't actually so hard after all, but I'm gonna leave my original post intact and just drop this off:

@@jaerivus thank you for the link I'll check this out it sounds interesting
Edit: wow he definitely has the potential. He's a painter, maybe he could actually branch out into singing next? He really did a great job there. He brought his classic Jim Carrey personality into it as well which was great to watch

Creep is my favorite song. He’s my favorite actor. To see him singing this song & to see how meaningful it is to him really makes it special to watch.
Oh you really gotta listen to The Bends and OK Computer
2:55 he really let himself go into the song and even the crowd goes quite in awe. Really impressive notes!
" I wish i could tell everyone that being successful is not what you think", Jim Carrey.
Jim Carrey the person not Jim Carrey like his comedy roles

He also said money doesn’t make you happy, from his New York City penthouse with his hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of paint and nothing but time to slap some colour on the canvas and want for nothing. Don’t get me wrong, I get what he’s saying, but also stop.

Sometimes the funniest people alive are the saddest... towards the end I could see the sadness in his eyes
Yeah the line between comedy and tragedy is indeed thin. But not just comedy, all creative types, Music Art, Comedy they're all tortured and messed up. That's why we relate 🤔😶😉
That's true Geof, I think that's what fuels their creativity...the ones in the public eye have it the worst though, I believe, cause when it's time to "go on", they have to, regardless of how they're REALLY feeling...imagine being terribly sad n you've got to start filming, so you have to go out there n act as funny n happy as you possibly can...when the filming stops, I think I would be sadder than ever....n I think they feel like they have to be "on" all the time also n that would suck...going out to eat or to the club n STILL feeling as if you can't be your true normal self, cause hey, they gotta be "on" ALL the time, right?!?! I couldn't do it....
@@foxxybrown7606 Judy Garland, Liza Minelli, Van Gogh, Mozart, very troubled people but on the edge of madness lies genius. I notice it's mostly the really intelligent ones. Billie Connolly is another , Andy Kaufman who Jim Carry played. Lots of suicide amongst these types too. True tragedy.

Just wow. That image is so bad ass! !!
LMFAO! Kurt Cobain would've probably paid to see that, hahah! He loved to butcher his own music(especially "Smells"), watching someone else do it would have put a smile on his face no doubt.
He actually sings pretty good for an untrained singer. And his feels 😭😭😭💗💗
He looks like Brendon Urie's funky uncle. Or maybe his older brother where he got his hyperactiveness from.
Francis Opeña lol before I saw the title I was like “Brendon?”
U mean Brendon Urie looks like Jim Carrey!
A big thing about Jim Carrey singing this, he knows his vocal limits, he drops his tone an octave lower, or at least tries, to keep singing without his voice completely breaking.
Except for most of the song he's singing the same notes as the original and in pitch (or close to)
@@watzitoya5821 Thats kind of what i mean by he drops his voice by an octave (though i might be using the wrong terminology) so that it can still be 'correct', just in a different tone so it still sounds nice.
@@HereticFox An octave is when you sing in key the same note but much lower on the scale. You know how you can keep singing up until you end up singing the same note just much higher. The note you start at is an octave lower than the one you end up at. What I'm saying is that Jim here isn't singing an octave lower than the original song, he's actually singing mostly the same notes.
@@watzitoya5821 I'll agree on that! I was mostly commenting on when he goes high once or twice you can almost hear his voice crack, and then he drops it down so it doesnt, I guess as the prime example.
@@HereticFox I get you! We're in agreement. Yeah, his voice sorta cracks, it's a very hard song to sing and I agree he's actually managing his own range very well and adapting his voice to the song.
Just wish he doesn't end up like Robin Williams.
Yea
Robin Williams killed himself because he was diagnosed with a terrible and aggressive form of dementia
@@mikewazowski3301 you don't need a mental illness to feel depressed inside
ashton r that may be true, I’m just saying the main reason why he killed himself was probably because he was diagnosed with the dementia
@@mikewazowski3301 there
Was other reasons
Mr. Carrey could sing anything and I’ll probably cry.
His comedy has been like a friend to me and my friends. His acting has carved my best friends and I’s relationship. Love to see this man’s work on anything he does.
I keep coming back to this cover because I feel like the way Jim sings it is the way that it is meant to be sung. It's meant to feel messy and a little silly and stupid, because those are the emotions that Yorke was feeling when he wrote the song. The way that he belts out the chorus just feels perfect. Perfectly human. Love this with all my soul
You can tell Jim Carrey let out some pain on that RUN note......Badass
Damn
I think he made it work.
It was like John Lennon screaming "Mother"
That scream was ful of pain, broke my heart
amazing jim !

It works especially because he’s playing to be off key
When you understand why it is their “new anthem” you begin to listen to the cover in a completely different way.
This song was meant for those with no place, no perfection, no box. He nailed it.
"I don't belong heeeere..."
"Mr Carrey, this is a bar mizva"
Nice one😂
LOL 😂
HahahajajajajajajajaahhahaHH
Lol i’m just here for the jokes.
This is LITERALLY my favorite cover of this song. Mainly because you can tell how much fun he is having and how good the energy is.
You don’t need a perfect voice to be a singer. I’ve seen professional bands tank because their energy was off and they weren’t having fun with it.
Protect this man at all cost!
Also such a clean band and creative! Who are they?? Like them better than the Vampires.
Hope Jim never retires, he's awesome...

We do indeed
Uploaded 8 years ago and I’m only seeing this now, what the F*CK
I had to play this one again. First, I never knew Jim could sing. This is not an easy song to sing. You see, so many of the greatest comedians are the saddest people in the world and have had tragic lives. Jim Carrey you are definitely special.❤❤❤❤.
Heartbreaking...even though this video is 11 years old, you can feel his distress when he says " I'm a weirdo". Must be hard to live in the head of a genuis.
Real talk
The point isn't his genius. Its his oddness. We all feel that.
He is just like Robin Williams
U wouldnt know numb digga
That’s a really odd thing to say
Jim Carey's head bangs at the distorted guitar pumps at start of chorus really were great, and the way he says Fk'in special without any sense of shame, absolutely brilliant
why should he be ashamed of saying fuckin'? Most Americans use it every second word they say...
@@johnvanhal2450 it's just cos he's a renowned actor and comedian, loved especially by younger audiences, a lot wouldn't swear if it isn't part of their image
I always feel scared we're gonna lose Jim Carrey, like we'll wake up and he'll be in the newa, but he made it to his 60's and im so proud
Same. Me too.
@@alexandroroxJesus loves you!
@@awesome346 If only he were real.
He is! He lived and died for you. Turn to him and he will give you eternal life.
He acquired his fame later in life. In an interview, he said he was glad it happened that way otherwise he might have killed himself (didn’t actually say that but mimed like he was shooting himself).
Jim has lived an extraordinary life and really made something of it. I don't know the guy but I'm proud that he is part of the collective one that we're all part of. I believe he sees life as some crazy trip and he's put his all into trying to be his best version. He's done a better job than me so for that he's an inspiration. Much love to Jim, what a great cover!
Why am I crying, why do I miss him? He’s alive?
The exact same question urge up my mind
Yeah He is
This cracked me up, lol. Do I know why it cracked me up? No I do not, but I'm OK with not understanding some of the things I do, and I feel like Jim Carrey probs totes relatifies.
Yes Jim Carrey is still alive. So is the original singer of the song Thom York.
@@mariamalzahem7512 think jim carrey would rather castrate himself than say “probs totes relatifies”
The last verse is the definition of singing through tears. This man has a deep pain within.
Ya, it's called demons
@@whatshisname7310 well no shit
Skully He’s hamming it up not being emotional, you dramatic dipshit.
The “run” too
He wanna get out of the mind control industry. And they kill his wife 😔 he was my num 1 comedian 😭
Just realised Jim Carrey could've totally played Phoenix's Joker. He actually has great drama acting range and can do amazing facial tics.
This is a man who could play a great many characters with remarkable depth... but he just doesn't like doing them for some reason.
holy shit why is that so true
well when he does them he goes off the rails a tad
He could and he should. Maybe it's because he won't or that he just doesn't get cast? He is my favourite actor by a landslide, but he is so unique that he's basically created his own genre, which might make it tricky for directors to "take a chance" on him...
Have you seen "Man in the Moon" or "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind??" He can absolutely do drama
i agree, his job on the mask movie was amazing, imagine him as the joker. im pretty sure he did act in a batman movie
Me singing along in tears 😢. God bless you all, who feel alone and unwanted. Because you are wanted and someone loves you.
The fact that he can sing it well, and still feels he has to clown... is it because he's so immersed in being silly, comical that it just comes, or is it his shield from the world, and he felt too vulnerable without it? Couple moments in there I felt like he showed more than he wanted to....
Felt that
he just hides his true persona, he is scared of showing sad emotions. its a memorized mechanism. i have the same shit .... when something bad happens in my life i literally smile with my eyes looking empty, or i say a joke.... its a terror bcuz many ppl dont realize its a defensive mechanism
@@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it yeah.... I hide behind a guitar, I can barely socialize with anyone beyond intimate friends, but a guitar is like a mask for me, I don't feel like the same person , I'm always confident in most things, I just become "flat" if I don't have something to do constantly, think too hard. plus the feedback from a crowd amps me up I suppose. Later I'm so depressed, I can barely function for a day. Life was a lot simpler back home, everything makes me miss a farm I couldn't wait to put behind me.
It's that same quality that makes him an incredible actor and comedian but never quite trusting of his own identity due to everyones expectation of him. Very much like Robin Williams
Comedy is a mask for pain. Always.

Sharlene Cassius loydd Christmas will never die
Jim Carrey *can* sing. I think this cover shows that he converted his skill in comedic timing to a dramatic/poetic license to emphasize the tone of insecurity in this song’s lyrics. That’s why he goes off key and loses pace with the band. Therefore, this cover is just as good as Radiohead’s original version.
ETA: For everyone who is saying he can’t sing, listen to this song that he sings in different styles. Start about 0:50 into the clip. ruclips.net/video/hN6KOZTyl_A/видео.htmlsi=RuP2IsEEkwoyHJYI
Well yes, he could. I remember one time he covered A-ha's Take on Me and he did an excellent job singing it.
Yeah, that was a bit of art and skill. Because Jim can actually sing well.
Totally agree
There are two types of singer that sing badly. Those who are terrible, and those who are so good that they can sing badly on purpose.
Jim Carrey falls into the latter category.
lmao no. Your psychoanalysis is wrong. A person's intent of portrayal of feelings isn't going to magically turn bad singing into good singing. He just can't sing, plain and simple.
To say this is "as good as Radiohead’s original version" is delusional and quite frankly insulting to Thom York and the rest of the band. You're trying to clutch at straws to justify his attention seeking.
This can be nothing more than a bit of fun. But a bit of fun doesn't equal art or skill.
With every passing year this video gets sadder and sadder
I’m a former actor (failed lol!) but I always say: Every dramatic actor cannot necessarily do comedy-but every single great comedic actor can do drama. Beautiful performance of the song, Jim!
Agreed - apart from Leslie Nielson, I can't think of many actors who successfully transitioned from drama to comedy. Yeah, the fact dramatic films have more pay and prestige probably helps, but you'd think it would still happen every so often, right?
I reckon it's because in order to be a good comedian, you need to have an understanding of what makes people laugh, what makes people tick, have empathy.Which is also why I reckon that a lot of edgelord and hard right comedy falls flat - laughing at other people because they disgust you only goes so far...

He's also an actor, but maybe he is hurting when he sings this. I dunno
@@casey7130 this cover hit different when you know about his emocional problems
I found out today this video even existed and man Jim did his thing he poured his soul into this
At about 3:50 he really hit it and made it his own! Hell yeah! It takes guts to do something like this. Mad respect!❤😊
This performance was very good in a punk rock sort of way. As was said before he clowns around, but still conveys raw emotion that really sells the song. Truly this performance was far better than 90% of popular music today. If I’d heard this not knowing it was Jim Carey, I’d still have been interested to hear more.
Right the goofiness to emotion switch was VERY punk, I go to a lot of local and diy shows and I see a lot of similarities, maybe he was in the punk scene for a lil at some point?
Oui, pareil pour moi..
Listen to him sing - somebody to love. 😁

I think this is coming from his heart. I love Jim Carrey's drama work (much more than his comedies) and think he should've been nominated for Oscars for both The Truman Show and FOR SURE....Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Am I the only person who thinks hes actually decent at singing this
I don't know if is because i am a bad singer, but i agree with you
Yeah he sang well, I'm sure that if he warms up a bit, he can reach those high notes just right, and it's not like the original song sounds much better...
I've heard much worse 👍
Anyone could sing this pretty decent
He is a bad singer but an excelent actor, he interprets it very well
Something about this video just speaks to me about Jim Carrey , it shows his true emotion of his view on himself and the world , and also at the same time describes his personality.. basing on the his past relationships and how he suffers with depression sometimes. But I would like to tell Jim Carrey that his work in films has made the world happier , he is very talentive and I hope he continues to live life and keep making the world laugh or be wow'ed at his art :)
:) good comment.
I feel like this was part of the sequel to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind after Kate Winslet broke his heart again.
