the ghost of christmas present is the best ghost in any version of a christmas carol!

[@WillScarlet16]

You call this Christmas dinner? This boy could use some Stoli!

[@WraythSkitzofrenik]

OH HOLY NIIIIIGHT

[@ianjones9961]

As much as I love Kelsey Grammer, and oh boy do I ever...Jesse completely steals this movie. His GOCP is the best ghost in ANY iteration of A Christmas Carol.

Jesse L. Martin Website Brilliant performance

[@BlueberryMomoko03]

It honestly took a while for me to figure out that this was Jesse Martin. I'm so used to him being in Law and Order that this threw me for a loop. He's freaking amazing as the Ghost of Christmas Present.

[@Poet2916]

You know I couldn't believe this was Jesse at first...he singing voice is much more I ghuess I'd say operatic and slightly higher and he uses more vibrato then in RENT...He's brilliant!

[@alitop998]

Yep. I'm listening to this in July.

[@amanogirl1]

Queen Horror I watched the movie last night

[@lovelygoldensparrow]

Yesss! I love Kelsey and Jesse. This is one of my fav songs in the whole movie!

[@Jamie_Jewel]

Joe West got some PIPES! #FlashSquad

[@tiglit24]

Love that Jesse L. Martin came from the original Broadway show of RENT. Most of them have gone very far

[@ericscott4860]

It's Kelsey Grammer! The man who voiced Sideshow Bob!

[@chibichan18]

this is my favorite christmas movie ever! i wish people had more of it online, i really wanted to watch the "you mean more to me" number today. but what's. thanks for putting this online!

[@yaoinowplease]

I love how Jesse's accent is so different here compared to his real voice. He's so amazing!! Thank you so much for posting!

[@Jellostix09]

I saw this for the first time last night, and my mom and I BOTH totally thought that was Tim Curry. I was blown away when I found out it was Jesse Martin. I knew he was talented, but I had no clue how incredible he was.

[@ruthanndoyle3941]

jesse i love this wonderful perfomance this is best

[@WraythSkitzofrenik]

Such a versatile man. I'm in love.

[@Chibi-Fisch]

I think this is my favorite scene ^^

[@IzzyFeegs415]

I gotta say, having grown up seeing this musical every year at MSG, this film really doesn't do it any justice. They really need to bring it back to the stage.

[@meldawn21]

Jesse's so awesome!!! i love him in RENT!!! one of my favs!

[@WraythSkitzofrenik]

Love me some Jesse L. Martin!

[@jessicaturner3367]

Merry Christmas bitches!

[@KQuinn672]

[@mxgross]

6:41 AWWW, how sweet! I think the Ghost of Christmas Present is already starting to help Scrooge understand the joys of the holidays!

[@carmenp8921]

Jesse sei stupendo!

[@jkrfan7]

I was waiting for him to say "MERRY CHRISTMAS BITCHES!"

[@carmenp8921]

[@caroldefender4144]

Mr. Present, that's not my dinner, I was just eating that because I have a bit of a cold in my head! - What I would have explained if I were Scrooge

[@Flashjackmak]

yeah, that one was great!

[@matth3w2002]

It's detective Joe West

[@JesseLMartinWebsite]

Yes, there was :) I know it's on iTunes since I bought it there, but I think you can buy an actual CD from Amazon or elsewhere.

[@JesseLMartinWebsite]

@jean181 If I get it I will upload it! I only have this song since Jesse L. Martin is in it. haha. But if I find Link By Link I'll post it for you :)

[@sweetandsassy94]

I'm in this show right now as a toy soldier and this song is so fun

[@Digga1221]

@spirit7462 Albert Finney? Superior? Wow....I guess there's all types in the world, including delusional ones.... But anyway, after seeing this movie last year, I can't see anyone else as the Ghost of Christmas Present. Jesse rules.

[@nickprindiville1121]

[@JesseLMartinWebsite]

@spirit7462 This was most definitely 2004. Albert Finney starred in "Scrooge" with a very different cast and over 30 years earlier.

[@kjkmsw1]

Do you have anymore videos with Jesse singing?? I can't get enough of HIM!!!

[@JesseLMartinWebsite]

@kjkmsw1 I just tried uploading one from Ally McBeal, but Fox has completely blocked it :( I'll see if I can post it elsewhere for you....

[@JesseLMartinWebsite]

No problem :) I'm trying to remember where I found this and I can't remember. If I find that song, I'll be sure to post it for you =)

[@JesseLMartinWebsite]

@ChoujiFOREVER1 I bought the DVD...from Amazon I think..

[@JesseLMartinWebsite]

@kjkmsw1 My pleasure :) And I most definitely agree with you. haha.

[@badgal342]

@spirit7462 this one was made in 2004 so this is kelsey grammer, i dont know where ur mind is right now but it certainly not in the now lol.

[@JesseLMartinWebsite]

@kjkmsw1 I have two more (both from Ally McBeal) but KZbin keeps taking them down. I'll upload them in the next couple of days because they're really great. I also have a him singing on a Broadway soundtrack, but no videos, just audio. I'll get those up in a bit :)

[@JesseLMartinWebsite]

@yaoinowplease No problem; glad you enjoyed it.

[@JesseLMartinWebsite]

[@cfronck]

[@bbbriannarox]

OMG PAUSE IT @ 4:08 it is funneez

[@WillScarlet16]

The Broadway Cast version of this song had more energy

[@GeekMythologist]

Should I be attracted to him?

[@kjkmsw1]

Thanks, can you give me some information about yourself and your email address.

[@KQuinn672]

[@AnitaClue]

Her mother just died. Her father is behind on the mortgage payments...to Scrooge.
