Ever wondered what Wheatus’ ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ would sound like if it was sung by Ed Sheeran? What about Brendon Urie? Or Adam Levine? Whether you have or not, if this is a concept that intrigues you, then we guarantee you are going to love this video from talented YouTuber Justin J Moore, which shows him doing insane vocal impressions of these singers and several more using ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ as his song of choice.
“This is Teenage Dirtbag, but it’s sung by a bunch of different singers,” says Moore, introducing the video before promptly launching into one of the best Ed Sheeran impressions Music Man readers will have ever heard. Also impersonating other singers including Bono, Charlie Puth, Brendon Urie, and Adam Levine, it is uncanny how well Moore captures the intricacies and individualities of the styles of each of these vocalists.
Given that the video has racked up hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube alone, Music Man readers will surely not be unsurprised to see multiple comments on the video complimenting Moore’s insane vocal impersonation talents. “In a world of endless AI slop, this made me happier than you could ever imagine,” said one viewer, while another commented “wow, that’s what they mean when they say your voice is an instrument.”
This video of him impersonating several different singers using ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ is Moore’s most popular video on YouTube to date by quite some distance, but he also has plenty of other content on his channel for fans to peruse. He regularly uploads beautiful covers of well-known James Blunt tunes, for instance, like his acoustic version of ‘Monsters’ that you can listen to below.
James J Moore is clearly an incredibly talented singer, as showcased by the many videos on his YouTube channel. The one that arguably shows off the versatility of his talent to the greatest extent, however, has to be the video that sees him tackling ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ as though it were being sung by various different singers, which really elevates his talent to a whole new level.
