VersaEmerge: The Authors (ACOUSTIC)

[JulietsSky]

I would like to make love to the chorus riff!

[Kukukachoo1231]

lol seriously anybody who thinks this (or any of versa's songs) sounds like paramore is on something. they're just sooo different and i really don't understand why everyone has to compare everysinglefreakingbandthathas­afemalevocalisttoPARAMORE!

[iBrittt]

I like how nobody ever compares Hey Monday with anybody lol..

[alyminashi]

VersaEmerge, Paramore and Hey Monday...!!!My top 3 favourite female-fronted bands...

[DeeLowFuhSho]

Who's paramore? They sound just like "No doubt"! (jk)

[skatefallen91]

Generic top comment about how you shouldn't compare Paramore and Versa.

[camilaave]

I love these two.

[dadgdfh]

Paramore and VersaEmerge?! Don't comPARAMORE these AUTHORS!

[skatefallen91]

@dadgdfh That was pretty terrible.. but thumbs up for making me laugh

[dadgdfh]

@skatefallen91 Ahahahah

[zeragon7]

@dadgdfh HAHAHA that's awesome dude!

[causemyinsanity]

This is where it all started for me.

[MarioLuigiTwilight]

Sierra is a really good singer :) You can tell when a person can really sing if they sound amazing without a mic :)

[holahola6270]

feisimo

[iDontLikeYu]

This was the video that made me fall in love with Versa back in '09. Still comin back to watch it

[TulioMotaLima]

Mto boa essa musica!

[cmorto99]

she is sooooo fine. amazing voice too!

[commonloon0]

I loved this band so much back in 2009 too bad I lost interest when all the members left..

[paramorefanboy123]

everyone compare a female lead singer to paramore because its the only think they can think of and there too lazy to think of anything else who gives a fuck JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY MUSIC

[XsawRockGirl]

I love VersaEmerge!!!!!!!♥

[BrianDrinksOvaltine]

what are these lyrics about? it sounds like theyre saying to break free from religion or something..

[hessounusual95]

@BrianDrinksOvaltine That's pretty close, Sierra wrote it after visiting a super strict catholic school. She's somewhat talking about breaking from religion, but not from belief?

[CloudsOverClearSkies]

@hessounusual95 I thought this song was written before Sierra was even in the band? I'm not entirely sure though...

[limpbits]

i'd blunt it up and listen to them all day if i were their neighbor. that was pretty cool when the clouds cleared and at that part of the song. badass vocals and guitar. very nice!

[Musicaholica]

anyone know the Exact chords to the Authors? cant find them anywehere and im not great at figuring em all out but ill still try. thanks

[MarzBarz001]

@Musicaholica check ultimate-guitar, pretty sure i saw them there :)

[bonesxbreak]

@MarzBarz001

Those chords aren't the way blake plays it...

[punkrockgirl103]

her hair its just the most perfect thing ive ever seen

[xxparamorexriotsxx]

I adore Paramore, but how dare you compare VersaEmerge to Paramore? They're both female-fronted bands, but it doesn't mean you need to compare them. They both have different styling of music. Paramore is more punk, while VersaEmerge is darker music-wise. So don't compare them, they're not the same. That is all.

[OtakuEnma]

The girl I like loves this song. Only if she lived closer. </3

[GUITARLAREN]

sounds like paramore :P

[girrg6]

@GUITARLAREN no it doesnt not even close i wish people would stop saying that does she look like hailey no does she have the same band no so it doesnt have paras sound it has versas sound deal with it

[mellbelle2913]

i want sierra's hair and voice

[sowrongitsrandaful]

Ughhh pure sex.

[jojomargera1]

omg! shes amazingg! o.o

[thisisausername14]

she's not only a great singer, but it's just amazing to WATCH her sing

[paramoreflyleaf4567]

I'm so glad I'm bisexual, I love both of them!

[thisisausername14]

i'm dying to have that hair!

[borntolovethemaine]

WILL YOU BE AT WARPED?! zomg I hope

[w0wization]

sex



[nayukz]

wow, i so love this video :D

Sierra is beautiful as always

[MonstersVampZombies]

Blake 1:53

[ColouredSoul24]

BLAKE.

[strongyang]

Thimbs up if you think Sierra looks very much like jessica stroup from 90210

[marusia949]

they remind me of paramore soo muchh

[lizzytravesty]

After watching this video, I regret deleting them off of my iPod because I thought I would never listen to them.

Shame on me.

[imavampireninja]

This is still my favorite thing ever released by them. Ever. And I still want my hair like that. And I still wish I could play guitar like that. Ugh. Yes.

[anglikpxndx]

OMFG this is so awesome! i love them! i love this song <3 i like more acoustic (:

[JanethanMakesMusic]

Is it bad that I prefer headlesscabbage's version?

[HoneyChild]

dont comparamore lol.

[pbbananasandwich]

i want to make little musical babies with her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xxMaDDuuuHHHxx]

I didn't realize how old this video was until I saw the upload date. Sierra looks so much older than 17 here. LOVE THIS SONG! (:

[sunshinebel13ver]

why doesn't this have more views?

[TheDeadlyDuckling]

you guys are so amazing.you are my musical inspiration.

[alyssa2394]

Sierra is so friggin talented, and Blake never ceases to amaze with the guitar. Love it.

[CamilleMari]

@Jm3hatR Blake started the band with Anthony, they had some member in between, then Devin came in, probably some more member changes happened, then Sierra came in, another member change, and last but defiantly not least, Jerry came in.

Then Anthony and Jerry left and now it's just Sierra, Devin, and Blake.

Not confusing at alllllllll. haha

[CruentusMessor]

@mst882 Agreed

[HTHproductionss]

loveeeee this songgg<3 and love herrr. shes so pretty. and her hair is always sooooo perfect. im honestly jealous. D:

[NiKKiBSEXCii]

dude - not every female singer in an all male group has to be related to paramore.

[thesuevue]

@Kathanis2068

well that's a shame & i guess im kind of ignorant that way but it's okay because this music is great to listen to! who cares who she sounds i like to just listen!

[Jm3hatR]

But are she the girl who sings in the album "fixed at zero"

A "home made" video by the original band :) liked.

[Ashlerrrs]

She's so pretty!

[Jm3hatR]

Are they the original VersaEmerge? 0.0

Nice guitar, nice voice :)

[xXbrennyisHoTXx]

@Jm3hatR well they're versaemerge but sierra was a new member back in like 08 or so but blake is orginal

[crapyb]

@xXbrennyisHoTXx 07

[SinisterJgarcia]

Dear,Sierra and Blake,why are you in my backyard with me not knowing you were there and rocking this hard.

[thesuevue]

@ifonlyyouandi57 lol i realyy did :)

[thesuevue]

nice backyard :)

also it's a compliment being compared to paramore right?

don't be so anal haha

[Kathanis2068]

@thesuevue It's really not. Every band that has a female singer is always compared to Paramore.

[scoobysnacx12]

listen to the lyrics and you can spot the biggest difference. VE is more poetic in their words than paramore will ever be. dont get me wrong, i love paramore.. but seriously.. stop comparing the two. they arent the same. try respecting the music.

[SkybugTwoPointOne]

there are more comments complaining about comparing VE to paramore than comparing itself

[mikehoeder14]

she even sounds better live =O

that's rare!

[hollisterlover4eva]

Sierra.... yourperfect.

[xxxSophia123xxx]

she's so pretty ): 

[SuperLimpit]

Both of you.

Marry me please? 

[Kevdog7390]

amazing vocals from 2:40-4:48 :)))

[ifonlyyouandi57]

@Kevdog7390 what do you mean amazing vocals from 2:40-4:48???? first of all the video only goes to 3:21 and 2 the vocals are amazing throughout

[handsdown327]

Sounds like paramore. nice originality.

[DanceianDance]

@handsdown327 it doesn't sound like Paramore. Just because they're also a poppunk band with a fronting girl, doesn't mean they're not original.

[jjmoneygame]

@DanceianDance and just because they have a similar sound on THIS song doesn't mean they're not original either. it's just a comparison, and paramore being my favorite band, YES i can hear similarities, but mostly with All we Know is Falling

[DanceianDance]

@jjmoneygame you hear similarities because it's a similar genre. people compare to paramore, because there aren't many female-fronted POP PUNK bands in the spotlight these days.

@handsdown327 don't get on my ass, I was saying people shouldn't compare them.

[khusbu57567]

@handsdown327 Yeah, they sound exactly the same to anyone who doesn't know what real music is and just focuses on the gender of the lead singer. Gosh, when will people just learn to quit it? I love Paramore to death, but they're not the ONLY band with a girl lead singer. This happens with VE, Hey Monday, and tons of other bands. Stop comparing bands and just listen to the goddamn band! (Whew, just went in rant mode but it's 1:00 in the morning and I'm so tired).

[MeLMeL196]

Orgasm



[croft1224]

Haha great :) its like a mix of circa survive and paramore. Love all three bands.

[dkmfan33]

he gets great sound out of that fucking guitar

[RileyRox72497]

She's pretty and she has an awesome voice, The guys good at guitar to. They sound great. :D

[jedoml94]

so much for me being straight..

[djrezarek]

32 people thougth the dislike button was dis i like

[foreverjessica96]

Her hair i wa't it. she should hand it over (: lol.

[xXxbellpowellxXx]

you don't have to search for the lyrics..... just listen and you'll find yourself singing....

[pretzalface]

beautiful

[CharMar89]

The song draws you in as it goes...loved it : )

[ayumistic]

LOVE IT!

[ozzyblazer16]

I love the whole backyard,

just chillin' playin' guitar on a regular day aspect



[NycLuvrCP]

godddddddddddd; i remember watching this a few years back. reminds me of friends and shit. good stuff.

[mattplayscheap]

i want her hair and im a dude!

[makilgore06]

I was on the fence with this band, I couldn't tell if they were something I actually wanted to listen to or if they were just landfill scenekid garbage. It was a tough call, but I enjoy it.

[ultima686]

@makilgore06 sierra is the hottest singer alive right now lol no doubt about that

[Cathaoir99]

Okay any band that has a girl singer is automatically compared to hayley,its bs !

And i love versaemerges older music like this,their new albums good but just aint the same. And sierra's amazing !

[tonemaluco]

im in love

Sierra ... :D

GO ahead versa !!!

[9010juiceboxer]

I thought I was a straight female, then I discovered VersaEmerge.

[Idiotgirl10]

@9010juiceboxer similer here xD

[SunlitKiss]

@9010juiceboxer That is exactly what happened to me. Hahaha :)

[SouthON13]

@9010juiceboxer Welcome to the club :)

[xemoXXdudex]

@9010juiceboxer i dont understand this comment

[ninjaturtlebirdz]

@9010juiceboxer have you discovered lights? her acoustic music is <33

[nayukz]

@9010juiceboxer lol i'm totally with you

sierra is sooo damn beautiful <3

[RcUniverseGuy]

@9010juiceboxer no girls are straight... first chance to lickAlotaPuss and there gonna jump on it literally

[lalaland1508]

@9010juiceboxer Sorry, but when I read your comment I get "When I discovered VersaEmerge, the guys in the band were so ugly they turned me lesbian." or "When I discovered VersaEmerge I went lesbian because their music's gay." I didn't get "When I disovered VersaEmerge I went lesbian because Sierra is hot."

Maybe it's just me because I look at the whole band as one and not just Sierra.

[iLikeTurtlesBro69]

@9010juiceboxer for real tho



[32ROCKERCHICK32]

thumbs up if you're tired of people fighting on youtube videos

[tifoww]

DON'T COMPARAMORE THEM

[LostMusicalMeanings]

@tifoww

That just made my day :]

[xxcatchxourxbreathxx]

my getting sick of hanging around me cuz everytime i come over shes like "STOP singing that song" then she goes and starts to sing it lol

[soniacanfly]

Her vocals is really good <3

I love her for that =]

[syarah93]

Hahahaha i still remembered viewing this vid when it was only 14k viewers.

[xxguitarxgoddessxx27]

Haha I love how they just smile at each other at the end

[mushopoke]

How can 32 people not like this?

Must be the brokencyde fans

[chia511]

wish i had her hair as much as her voice hahaha loveeeee Blake!!!

[imavampireninja]

loVEloVEloVEloVE<3

[xXGrizzlyXx95]

they're wearing the same pants hahaha

[whoatheremary]

she's fucking gorgeous dudeee. i love her hair.

and her voice is amazing. shittt.

they work well together. :D

[imhated22]

she is completely gorgeous!!

[cmorto99]

their lyrics are amazing, and sierra is so fine

[mariejulian96]

Sierra has a spectacular voice and freaking awesome haiiiir.

and blakes beast with his guitar.

[ravingdave900]

I like her hair

[dzsulszii]

i love guys in V necks and skinny jeans who play amazing music :D

[xXmavantosXx]

@dzsulszii That is Blake

[leavin2dai]

fav song by them! the lead singer has my name!

[patdrocks16]

They are both amazing. Sierra's voice is just... wow.

[artfeedsalexm]

God,I love you guys acoustic.

[Guitargirl165]

This is my favorite song!i play it on my guitar all the time!They sound nothing like paramore.you'd have to be stupid to think they do.They each have their own style.

[BrilliantIrony]

This is a very good showcase at how well they can play live. 

[nicolegetfired]

I think this paramore comparison is Silly.

hayleys great.

seirras great.

cassadees great.

laceys great.

we get ittttttttt.

there all girl singers,like seriously?



[gotread]

@nicolegetfired i totally agree with you. like its ridiculous.

honestly like no one goes around comparing alex gaskarth and john o'callaghan or travis clark. they're all guy singers and their music is different, just like paramore, hey monday and versaemerge

[Samsthewordx3]

@nicolegetfired thank you !

[Emilyexists]

THE GIRL IS PRETENTIOUS! RAWR!

[ipukerainbowz]

I think this video shows just how good Versa can sound live/acoustic. I think the fact that both Paramore and Versaemerge are bands that can sound as good live as they do in studio is what makes them stand on their own. They are different bands, each with their own strengths, but they're going to be compared and some people (like myself) are going to like Paramore more while others are going to like Versa. No matter comparisons or opinions, they're both still great bands- get over it.

[constantin619]

she's soooo hot

[BLGandATLfan]

Omg! Sierra is amazing! I love her voice everytime I hear her sing I try to immitate her singing but I always come out like crap or on a good day close to it. Can't wait for they're album! Ahh just 2 more weeks!

[EIFanGirl]

I'm so happy, their new album comes out later this month!

[krunchykrunchy]

you guys only compare her to hayley because shes a fucking girl...and you know its true

[syarah93]

i like watching blake playing the acoustic guitar. Wish i could play that well! :(

[myrandataylorlove]

@syarah93 i know me too :(

lets learn together its ok hes been playing since he was like 5:)

[BJ29loVE]

They are amazing. They compliment each other beautifully. They are young and incredibly talented. :)

P.S please don't compare her to Hayley. It's stupid. Everyone in the world is their own person, singers are no different. They are all individuals, remember that :)

[L4gMast3Rz]

Holy shit that was really good! She's hot and she can sing- what's not to love?

[ShadowCrowX]

wow this song is so dynamic with its pace shifts. I hope their new album has more songs where the 2nd verse riff is completely different from the 1st and they continue to have those ketchy ass choruses

[FillePelt]

VersaEmerge FTW!

[sowrongitsranda]

Dude, Sierra's insanely pretty AND an amazing singer. I wanna be like her when i grow up :) haha

[caro06vania]

Brendon Urie Copy haha (;

[brainvirusify]

Sierra is my one and only female hero.<3

[chinadoll0743]

they're wearing the same pants ")

great song.

[izzyatnine]

does anyone know what guitar blake is using?

[RandallDavidson]

@izzyatnine I have a strong feeling it's a Gibson, judging by the special inlays. Gibson is the only brand I can think of with really thick looking inlays like that. They don't look like Hummingbird inlays, but obviously it isn't a hummingbird. As to what model, I'm not sure. If it isn't a gibson then it's most likely a custom Martin.

[OmNomNomEric]

she is so talented/extremelypretty.

[mirashinesbright]

how about me stfu and enjoy the video. :)

[gwess08]

man i have to say

she is so amazing.

i just came across this band

bout a month ago and cant get over

how amazing they are specially sierra

this bands really stands out from any other band ive heard

havent heard a better one yet and believe me i been searchin all over

to find something atleast similar but cant find anything

[AkiraIzDaBomb101]

@akiraizdabomb

lol versa*

[AkiraIzDaBomb101]

LOL I LOVE THIS. IF I CAN PUT MY TWO CENTS IN..

i love paramore and versaemerge equally the same. Paramore has been making music since 04 and versaemerge (sierra) in 07 possibly 06. i believe that they sound nothing alike with the occasional "Hayley sounds like Sierra at this part" or even vice verse.

you all need to relax.

[GarrettEmerge]

I'm in love<3 Sierra Kusterbeck, marry me.

[Brittaanyy1]

Sierra's Hair is AMAZINGGGG & her singing skills

no questions askedddd;

[imademonhunter]

i still think blake looks like marco from degrassi....

[CPproductions303]

@imademonhunter a little bit...

[Mizzjazzy2fresh2010]

I love Blake!

[emily13RIOT]

come on guys, let's not comparamore. :)

[TheRainbowBallroom]

Seriously, Versaemerge is nothing like Paramore, Versaemerge has a more sadder beautiful sound, and paramore has the more power pop sound. They are both great, but i like versaemerge better.

Thank you!
