Jesse McCartney Sings John Mayer, “Leavin’” & “Beautiful Soul” in a Game of Song Association | ELLE

[@doggiesareangels]

Didn't know he wrote "bleeding love". All the skill in this one dude!

[@crystalsnow1138]

He wrote it with Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic.

[@krysivory493]

In fact, he released it as a bonus track in "Departure".

[@ahyminahmcthomas3588]

Girl yes! I was shook too when I found out!💙

[@rachelcampbell4574]

I didn’t know that either!

[@SuraDoes]

That’s why it keeps playing on my Jessie McCartney radio on Pandora

[@missdemicarla]

You’d be lying if you said you weren’t fully crushing on Jessie McCartney, if you were born in the 90s! 😂❤️

i was born in 2003 and i was OBSESSED with this man😂

I was so in love with him

[@gabbyduque]

This man needs more appreciation. He has not aged at all.

[@iyanuoriakhi4794]

Ya

[@crystalsnow1138]

I agree he needs more appreciation, but for his music not because of his looks.

[@gabbyduque]

@@crystalsnow1138 yes of course. I watched the whole masked show and his voice was amazing.

[@claudeseymour]

Stop lying! He has definitely aged. Go watch the Beautiful Soul video and see if you think the same LMAO

[@star_fruitti]

He looked so different a couple years ago when he was on Fear The Walking Dead, I literally did not recognize him. He definitely looks more like "himself"(?) in this video.

[@elusivecreature2376]

Him and JoJo are so underrated! They are both amazing artists!

[@lidibethwong555]

Yesss yesss yesssss

[@tpop5619]

That’s why I watch the Masked Singer because they bring underrated singers on.

Nice to see him doing well. He's 34 years old and still looks 25.

Actually his botox makes him look older

[@BettyMareeHOHCountry]

as if he is 34!! i thought he is still in his 20s.

[@infinity12402]

Most of us look like we’re in our 20s

[@emmz165]

LIES 😂😂😂

[@ronnierocketz]

we stan this unproblematic blue-eyed soul legend.

[@AdrienneCM10]

His eyes are green. Fun fact: in his boy band and younger days, they would make his eyes look blue in pictures and such and color his hair blonde to better fit the aesthetics they were after. As he aged as a solo artist, he left his green eyes and brown hair as is. I read that years ago in some magazine and still remember it 😅 I think it was an interview when he was on Army Wives.

[@kizzybrenda]

Adrienne McMillan “blue-eyed soul” is an actual music genre ☺️

[@AdrienneCM10]

@@kizzybrenda yes. I remembered right after my long unnecessary comment 😅

[@josscasa]

He could literally just walk out and say he's Leonardo Dicaprios son or younger brother. I'm convinced he is.

[@MDev1997]

I swear his resemblance to Leo Dicaprio only grows with age

[@SketchyMary]

Holy cow 🐮 so true! I can’t unsee it now!

Him blocking out at the first round then telling a story after that is sooo unrelated is the best

Lmao right?! I'm so curious about how much they cut out!

[@thenewmexicantexan]

Yes 😂

[@laurenchristine9209]

He was responding to a question "what was the hardest song you've ever had to sing"

[@jennifergriffin6962]

Jesse is that first love from your childhood you never forget, like you'll be doing the dishes, or some menial task, and then you randomly think about what he's up to recently.. I'm glad he's getting back into the biz

[@MonsterMango13]

I will never not be in love with Jesse McCartney.

[@palettetowne3676]

What a chill dude - he's like the guy who you think left the party but hes just having real talks with someone (or the dog) in another room

[@leijen208]

Oh my goodness! I love that analogy

[@lunavalentine2891]

He even SOUNDS like a young more enthusiastic Leonardo. Jack Dawson vibes.
