This may seem a little corny, but this made me cry, for the first time in months and months. I hate to blurt it out and all, but I go/have been through a whole lot of abuse and as a result I've learnt hold all these emotions and insecurities in, and this just released it all, and you've seriously, wow.
This is a half step lower than the original SHEET MUSIC key but Sara Bareilles actually usually sings the key he is doing... so he is literally singing her song note for note in her range...
ok, I may have commented a tad too early--hadn't gotten thru the entire song. You might need a little work on that carry-over of "Down" from the bridge. It is completely pitchy and it sounds terribly forced. I know it is a difficult note, indeed I've even seen Ms. Bareilles look as though she might struggle with it at times on some of the live tracks. At any rate, you had a nice recovery toward the end. I still enjoyed the cover very much.
Just wonderful. Again, it is nice to see a man taking on this powerful song. My only criticism/question is what the heck is that black spot distorting the right half of the camera shot? No criticisms on the vocals though. Great job!
All I have to say is that the way you sang this, made me cry.....lol I'm sorry if I'm corny, but you did an amazing job!! Thank you for posting this video and showing us your wonderful talent.
Who are the ten people who didn't like this? Do they not have eardrums? This is incredible. Your voice is amazing, and you have a beautiful falsetto. I do have on tip to offer though. Try opening your throat a bit more when you go for those high notes. The "keeping me down line" seemed a little strained. If you open your throat a bit more, it will allow better air flow and make the note easier to reach.
I never thought I'd hear a person (let alone a guy) sing this as good as Sara B. herself. Serious kudos to you man. My favorite song of all time and you do some damn justice to it :)
It's difficult to do a cover that adds to the original, but you definitely did. Would only suggest that when you use your air to hit the high note more gently and smoothly (focus on air going between stomach/head, rather than your throat). The high note is a powerful part of the song that Sara always managed to make sublime, and I think this had less to do with her belting, but her using her air well to make the high note sound sweet and effortless. Anyway, good job!
I think i fell in love with your voice... I love this song by Sara Bareilles, but i've been listening to it more by you :) very very good! Keep on going!
OMG! your so talented. i'm trying to learn this on the piano and its so hard for me. keep up the good work. i can tell you really have an ear for music.
He is so handsome love his little falce voice night notes his mouth dont look ugly when he changes his expressions he is beautiful all the time he cant make a ugly face...
wow.. you have soo much talent you probably don't even realize. I love how you make this song your own, and give it a bit of character.Continue with your music, may you be sucessful :)
i sang the bridge to this for american idol tryouts and i have to tip my hat to you cause it was a killer to practice that before tryouts lol... good job! Lea =]
I think its awsome. Your Voice is very clean. All of your videos are just great, Keep it up. I think its great that you chose a song by Sara Barielles. I dnt understand why people think that only Females shud play female songs and visa versa. :)
Dude!! your kinda awesome!!! i love Sara's version of this song and to be honest i was sceptical when i saw that a guy would be singing, so for shits and giggles i checked it out and was quite blown, I can't really comment on wether you piano playing was off key or not, but it sounded great to me, I noticed in a lot of your videos you have this shadow on screne, what is it? again, awesome job keep it up.
aside from the piano being a bit out of tune, very nice! pleasant voice, very expressive, i love all the little nuances. however, be careful of placement for intonation and to keep a consistent timbre. you have the tendency to open up to a slightly pushed tone in the middle of phrases of sustained notes and certain notes, which changes the color. otherwise, bravo! i thoroughly enjoyed it! your voice reminds me of a combination of Jason Mraz and JT.. plus you're very attractive! (;
ok i cant help but comment again Grant! lol! this is great, but the piano could have been a bit softer so that your voice would have been better highlighted... not that is isnt, but i wanted to hear more voice and less piano... GREAT VOICE HUN!
it is "you" and "i" in english. the speaker and the beloved. there're no specific genders, u little dimwit. and if it's being sung by a girl, it does not necessarily mean she is addressing a male lover. open up ur mind!
I don't understand why people find it necessary to say rude comments like this for NO REASON. Even if you do really and truly feel this way, that's fine--just keep it to yourself. There's no need for your negative feedback, and people like you only exist on YouTube for the sole purpose of trying to piss people off with your comments. It's ridiculous, and you need to grow up and get over yourself.
You are completely amazing. I have been singing for 13 years and I can honestly say you have one of the most amazing male voices I have heard on here. You really must do something with your amazing gift..
I'm totally moved by this song.
