Jesse McCartney Just Got Way Cooler in My Eyes

August 25th, 2008 by Evil Beet


Someone sent along this link to a video of Jesse McCartney covering T-Pain’s “Buy U a Drank” at a concert. Um … this is awesome. I love everything about this. I love that the audience is singing along rather than gaping at him like “Is this really happening?” Because that is what I would be doing. That is what I am doing.

I am also really interested to learn if he had to buy the rights to perform this song in concert. If so, what was T-Pain’s reaction when his manager was like, “Uh, dude, is it cool if Jesse McCartney covers one of your songs?”

Anyway, kids, no prize involved this time (we’ll be running a cool contest on Tuesday, so check back for that), but let’s play fill-in-the-blank just for fun.

Jesse McCartney decided to cover T-Pain’s “Buy U a Drink” because _______________.

Thanks Kat!

    I love that he thinks he’s gangster. I thought it was a joke the first time I saw him, like he was being funny. Only he really acts like that so it’s kind of sad and pathetic.

    Justin Timberlake – your position is safe, you are the only white boy around with hood credit.
