  • I like it. It's not really a copy of the song but a successful reimagining of it. Comparing it to Nicks' version is pointless ... Nicks get full credit for being the definitive version of the song, this is original enough in concept that it's not just a cover, and gets full credit for being a great reimagining of the song. Room for both versions, people!

  • this cover is good. A good effort and a surprisingly good change to the song only to make it better and hopefully gain more popularity among the youth that probably have never heard of Stevie Nicks.

  • uuum Davis Bowie crush! really?

  • @gagaindy

    Nope. Jareth-the-goblin-king crush. yep

  • D-

  • this is not bad.

  • This suks!

  • What the hell is this shitty ass cover? I hate it when these modern bands completly change the type of music from something good to a trainwreck of ear pain.

  • 1. This is an awful cover.

    2. You can't have heard the original because you claim this has more energy!

    3. Never diss Stevie, because that's what you're doing posting this song.

  • @Tomoliver09

    ,...just because i think this has more energy than the original does not mean i've never herd the original. Your logic fails. The original was one of my favorite songs when i first heard it.

  • @NaomiSlverflame I agree...I absolutely love Stevie Nicks...have seen her twice live...but this is one song that has been changed up and energized in an amazing way...I could listen to it over and over again...and I'm sure Stevie herself loves it!!

  • @NaomiSlverflame I love this version better as well.

    I personnaly don't like the original..

  • Even lindsays version is better than this!!!!

  • no!

  • YEAH ITS TRUE ITS THE SAME HISTORY THAT HAPPEN ME I REALLY FELT IN LOVE (WITH A GIRL WITH THIS SONG AWESOME COVER OF THIS SONG

  • i RLY dont think its tht bad actualy. :I but theres one cover i found her eon youtube tht i wish i could downlaod >.<

    and also guys, if u dont like this version, then dont fukcing listen to it, and dont blame this poor girl for lieking it :I she didnt do shit to it! go find the real versiona nd lsiten to tht if u dotn liek this

  • Does it not dawn on anyones mind that Jonas had to have Stevie's permission to do the song and obviously she did and that means she liked his version. Stevie Nicks is a rock & roll Queen and she likes rocker guys. I love this version, it rocks!!!! Thanks for sharing Naomi!!!!

  • alot of people asked me to look up this song, its actually pretty good. i'm more into pop rock,but i can appreciate a song as good as this. not to sure about the original though. then again thats my opinion.

  • Don't pay attention to the critics and haters. You like this version and that should be the only thing that matters. As one of my favorite sayings go "to each their own" Very good video(pics) not sure I LIKE this cover but whatever I figured I give it a shot.

  • when i 1st saw jonas i was scared it was the jonas brothers lol

  • She gets to much heat for just being nice and trying to post a song.This girl is nice get off her back...

  • @ikne808 lol, thanks. The only ones that really make me shake my head are the ones who blame me for the song, as if it's my fault that he sang this song.

    Of course...then there are posters like Urbanboulette. I have no idea what they were trying to say....

  • this is just wrong; proves how corrupt this world is

  • Love this, better than Nicks

  • euggh...They ruined the best song in this world. Not one bit of this song was enjoyable

  • This version of edge of seventeen sucks... did you listen the original? ...

  • @VirginalDoll

    To counter that, your reading skill suck..or is that critical thinking? If you bother to read the information box you'd already have your answer.

  • @NaomiSlverflame "your reading skill suck"... so do your writing skills.

  • I really like what he tried to do with this song, and have always felt the song would have been great if done in a heavier sound. I just think this guy didn't really succeed at what he was trying. I can't bag on him too much, though,  because I honestly couldn't sing any better.

  • edit*

    Really people. I know it's not the original. And Stevie Nicks is cool. I loved this song *before* I heard this version of it. I just happen to like this version better. I feel that it has more energy.

    for me you are the machine love with me, ( the magic energy and please ) j aimerais qu on essai en studio , tout le deux, tu n a rien a perdre, ) tourlou i love you xx

  • what did he do to this classic?! sorry but lindsay lohan's version is even better then this.

  • Long live Stevie - I hope she never ever heard this. Gen Y no need to desecrate everything

  • There is a rash of lame new "musicians" out there including the mall-pop girls who are butchering these songs because it's part of the new "how-to-get-more-popular" formula. These kids are told: "go cover an 80's classic, but make it all new-like," and they go do it... they don't have talent, lol, they're just trying to make something people will actually LISTEN to... and it's really starting to burn a hole in my delicate ear, lol, because ALL of these versions are BAD, BAD, BAD.

  • Why.. How could you do this to this song? WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DOO THISSS?

  • @TheSpanna96

    ...............

    *Facepalm*

    ...I didn't "do this" to this song. Jonas Tomalty did. I just happen to like it.

  • @NaomiSlverflame

    I know that, But i'm just wondering why Jonas Tomalty even dared to cover it....

  • this version is fucking horrible. the singing is fine but the fact that he changed the lyrics ruins the meaning of the song. when a song is written about someone and you change the lyrics from "he" to "she" it ruins the entire song

  • horrible!

  • I love how he sings this....very sexy

  • No. This song is so personal to Stevie Nicks. The bloke isn't so bad but Stevie knows the meaning of every word, every nuance is felt. Check out the 1983 Live version and then the Live storyteller version. The intimate, personal feel hasn't changed over all these years. If anything maturity has improved her.

  • i dont like the voice but still 4/5

  • Stevies is still the best...but this is pretty freakin cool too. I like it way better than Lindsey Lohans thats for sure. I think its cool that Stevie inspires so many people! Edge of Seventeen is one of my favorite songs :)

  • omg it sounds really discusting. this makes me ill

  • Horrrrrrrooorrrrr

  • Thanks for posting. I'm glad you and some others like it -- but personally it's just not my cup of tea. It has some interesting things to it, and I like it's not just being just like the original, but I like the original lyrics, instrumental *referencing a guy's death* and a female vocal on it better -- I think it fits better that way. Stevie's best -- Lindsay's decent and this -- not bad. Just not what I like and think fits best.

    But to each his/her own -- and glad some people like it! =]

  • NOT AN AWESOME VOICE!

  • goood song , woow u have pictures from sprited away i love that film , good job

  • Love how all the 13 year old girls that are watching this are putting thumbs down on the comments that speak the truth.

    This is shocking.

    Its a matter of opinion

    And mine is that this is terrible. How can anyone murder Stevie Nicks lyrics like this? Lohans version sucks too. Why cant they leave classic songs alone? Just for 15 minutes of fame they'll butcher songs like this.

  • the 13 year olds are probably my fault. i do have a bit of twilight in the video. I don't really like the thumbs-thing. I know why they did it, but some people use it to abuse.

  • this is disgusting, soori

  • what the...worst version i heard...

    but i guess its ok

  • great taste in movies and actors :) x

  • wow, this is really afwull. just awfull lol. and wtf is with the random pics. leave it to angst ridden emo's to ruin a perfectly great song.

  • *eyeroll* i'm not sure if you are calling me or Tomalty an "angst ridden emo" but you, sir, are wrong on both accounts. I put pictures to the song because I wanted to. And yes, they are random. My likes don't center around one object only.

    As for Tomalty, he's a rocker, not an emo. Emo's, as it were, don't do rock, they do soft, slow, and whiny.

  • i love it - the (hard) voice, the own stile.

  • i think that this version is horrible. no offence but i mean lindsay lohans version is better and i turned off her version 30 seconds in. please if you have a shred of respect for stevie nicks remove this video.

  • I respect Nicks as a singer, but i have no reason to remove this video since i, personally, believe that this version is fantastic. Frankly, lohan's version made me cringe and exit away quickly.

  • @DinosaurzGoRawr I disagree with your assessment. Lohan's version was an abomination; this has a fairly good. It's no Stevie Nicks, granted, but it's terrible.

  • this is the worst thing I have ever heard

  • Oh my gosh people

    C O M P A R I S O N I S O D I O U S !!

    Stevie wrote it, and her versions will always be the source, and to those of us who heard it when we were 17, the beloved.

    I'm no Lindsey Lohan fan, but honestly her version has a grrrl edge to it. This guy gives it a good run for the money. Good honest attempt.

    Music is to share. There is no "Fail". What, are songs frozen in time, uncoverable?

    Why compare?? Why? Just enjoy, or move on...

  • 0:37 love that movie :) spirted away

  • this is a distinctly femme song, and so it's pretty cool that a man attempted it... but sorry, it fails...

  • you ass.. this completely blows Stevie Ns version to smithereens - she has even admitted herself - YOU are a fail

  • wildizer, please control you're language. Delusia has a right to their opinion.

  • OMG i cant believe you said this is better than Stevie Nicks, this doesnt even compare!! I hate it when people try to cover amazing songs like this because the original will always be better!! This song isn't that bad but there's no comparison...completely different leagues

  • WTF MATE NO THIS NOT ACCEPTABLE NO STEVIE NICKS IS LIKE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO COVER Lindsey Lohan did better

  • why can't people respect stevie nicks, this is shit, lindsay lohan's is shit....

  • It's not a bad version, and I would say it's a good commercial version of the song, but if you know why the song was written, the story behind the song and realise that the song is Stevie and how she felt about a significant time in her life, this cover cannot compare to the emotion and the personal look in to Stevie Nicks. Still it's a good cover. Certainly better than Linsay Lohan's one in my humble opinion.

  • I agree with OzXiii completely. I don't understand when people straight up disapprove cover songs without actually listening to it. Sure they "hear" it, but the song just goes in one ear and out the other. Their opinion of the song is already decided before the song is played.

    This cover is not bad, not better than Stevie of course, but not bad at all.

  • well. Sounds good, but his voice isn't as goog as Stevie's voice xP

  • what?! dude, this is crap!! what happened to stevie?! this is ll.... well, just listen!! dude, that's that not what the lyrics!!!

  • please use proper grammar to complete your sentences, so that you can state you're opinion and we can understand you.

  • ANIMORPHS!! omg I remember reading all of them when I was younger! And btw Jonas is awesome!

  • =D I know. I always wanted to be able to shapeshift like that. But without the timelimit. Or the Yerks. lol

  • haha. ew

  • I am just wondering how his so called video could make 102k views... is it keywords or what??

  • pretty much

  • not bad but who is it XD

  • .....couldn't be the guy whose name is in the title could it??

  • um yeah i mean who is it never herd of him and no need to me a schmuck

  • Stevie is so hard to do. But you did it. Applause

  • God I hate renditions. It's like trying to find the original Winter Wonderland song playing on the radio during Christmas and all you ever hear is the jazz version. Or the kwanza version. It never ends until one day you get so tired of it the next time it plays you think its the original, but it turns out it's not and you go ape shit and smash your radio. Then you forget your driving your friends car.

    I guess what I'm trying to say is, is it cheaper to fix a smashed screen or buy a new one?

  • lol. Definitly buy. I don't think it's possible to fix a smashed screen.

  • Very cool cover of my idiol Stevie!!! Loove this version!

  • I felt this was the worst cover I've heard. It was terrible.

  • its not that bad but were spoiled we hered stevie XD

  • Great cover, who's is this!?

  • Jonas Tomalty

  • Screw these people...if you listen to it more than once its a really cool song with a new sound to it. Nice choice in music, chick.

  • thanks =^-^=

  • Huh? Do i look like a he? Does "Naomi" look like a guys name?

    *facepalm* This isn't the official video for the song you know.

  • wtf.that just dont work

  • They shouldn't allow this on the internet. . In fact, this shit shouldn't even be LEGAL. I never thought I'd find myself saying this, but you're actually better off hearing the Lindsay Lohan version.. Just, look up the original. It's by Stevie Nicks if you didn't know.. Or at least look up one of the Night of 1000 Stevies performances..

  • This is just awful.

  • oh. my. god. are you serious?! this version sucks!

  • Oh well, no accounting for taste, I like this cover.

  • this version is terrible, stevie nicks is much much better

  • damn this version is pure sex. I LOVE it

  • =^-^=

  • at 38 it must be a pokemon maybe its the retardshu

  • if, as i am assuming, you mean .38 or 38 seconds, no it's not a pokemon. Though you definitely advertise that you are not an anime fanatic by not knowing who that is.

    That dragon is Haku, from the anime "Spirited Away."

  • stevie nicks is far better..this is a cheapy, crappy remake..no where near as good..y do artists feel the need to ruin good songs??

  • CHESNEY!!

    stop having arguments with people about this song :L

  • callum..i'll argue wen i want to :-P your not really sayin this is better than stevie nicks are u ?? and it is white winged dove :-D

  • @cheeseisnice94 exactly if justin beiber sang this i would have to kick his ass he probly will

  • This is just...gay

  • The original singer is Stevie Nicks

  • i love this version,thanks for sharing it.I cant stop playing it lol =)

  • The guy who sings this is Jonas, hes a canadian singer.

  • I'll have a lovely day thanks. Well i will now. ;)

  • dude i now man its just this is dumb

  • Do you know that there is at least 8 grammar mistakes in your statement?

  • oh well its just youtube

  • 5 more. Teachers are disappointed that you learned nothing.

  • FUCK!!!!!!! WHO CARES!!!!!!!!

  • i think you secretly do, or you wouldn't've responded so violently.

    *tsktsk*

  • your just annoying

  • only because you are letting me annoy you. You could just ignore these posts afterall.

    I personally find it entertaining.

  • good for you

  • No you don't. You hate having to concoct sarcastic remarks to try and one up people. Just stop. it's pitiful.

  • You should reread what you wrote. Not really understanding what you mean.

    "I have having to concoct the remarks?" Why would i bother making these remarks if i hated doing so? Confused here.

  • this is just fucking stupid as hell what happened to stevie nicks version

  • um....nothing?

    I mean, it still exists. It really does.

    *bigdoeeyes*

  • Great version..What album is this off? I would like to hear more..

  • Thanxx for the great upload..

  • I think you did a great job with the video you created! I do prefer the original from Stevie, but I can totally understand why you like this one. And—see above—I admire your work as well as the diversity of your interests. Very well done. :) Thanks for sharing!

  • This is dreadful. I hope the Jonas Bros all die a horrible death. Manufactured fake rock pop garbage. Over produced. Disgusting voices. Oh and these are modern day role models. I hope kids nowadays have enough sense to steer well clear of this and any other shit corporate America is plugging.

  • and you're a moron.

    have a nice day.

    =^-^=

  • Haha oh i will, don't worry. This doesn't get me down. It makes me laugh!

  • I just don't see how the Jonas Brothers have anything to do with this song.

    No reason to even mention them, except to be a moron, which is sad.

  • Pedro droooollls for Dark Natasha..find me soon!

  • wow another reason jonas has no place in any genre of music apart from shit

  • no, just no. this song cannot be sung by a male vocalist. Nice try to em, but to pull this off you need the feminine touch to it, the edge that isnt quite an edge.

  • the jonas should burn in the deepest cave of hell in the abyss while getting nuked !!! ruined another perfect classic

  • omg, They Just Ruined Another Classic..

  • Well, I panned it (one star) 'cause the soundtrack is absolutely great and the video ruins the whole effect. It's just bad, silly, trivial, and...and...so - off topic! The band is great. C'mon, Naomi, do it over again!

  • Oh my god. I had to log in to say how crap this version is. They ruined a classic. what a bunch of morrons. they make Lohan's version tolerable...ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

  • this is fuckin' shit like the cover of lindsay lohan!

    i agree with TheNoiseChannel, i just needed like 3 seconds of the song to write this ...

  • THIS SONG IS TERRIBLE. I listened to like 2 seconds and it's horrible. they killed stevie nick's version. stevie nicks is the only one who should sing this.

  • I never thought I'd hear a version *worse* than Lindsey Lohan's version...

  • Why do people abuse good music

  • Jason Statham does have an Awesome voice!

  • JONAS FRICKEN RUINED A CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!! they should burn

  • dude! this guy sucks and had no right 2 sing 1 of the best songs of all time by the best singer of all time!!

  • I loved it

  • horrible

  • the only man who can sing this is Jack Black uahauhauaha

    no seriously guys.. Stevie Nicks fuck

  • this version is terrible and personally I dont like Lindsays version either but I think she did more justice to the song. Stevie Nicks, original version will always rule.

  • GOOOOOO STEVIE NICKS!!!

  • the versoin of jonas is good but im sorry but mits stevie nick song so the voice and evrithing is better than jonas

  • Stevie Nicks is the best at this song hands down! sorrry Jonas but u suck hairy monkey nutz

  • well the chorus is pretty good but...

  • It's better than Lindsey Lohan's version, by far. However nothing will ever compare to Stevie's. :]

  • personally i think this is good. he has a nice voice. stevie's is still brilliant.

  • it's Jonas

  • *blink* *blink* *headdesk*

  • sorry. i like Lindsay better... and i hate her. lol.

    and the pictures are irrelevant.... its silly.

  • ummmmmmmmm....are you for real??? does not even compare to Stevie Nicks!! But, yes, better than Lindsay lohan

  • are you serious? this version is terrible, he sounds like he has a nasal condition or computerized....how can someone prefer this over stevie nicks?

    as for the car...its looks like something made from the latre 70s-early 80s (worst years for a corvette....but you dont deserve anything higher the 200 horsepower anyway...the color sucks too)

    this video fails

  • I dunno know what year that Stingray was. But I love it. And Purple happens to be my favorite color. And who cares how much HP it has. I don't need to speed.

    And someone can prefer this over stevie's version for the same reason some people will only drive Fords. They just do.

  • its not a matter of speeding, its a matter of acceleration + power...if honda accords+toyota camrys can accelerate a a higher rate of speed then your corvette....thats pathetic, and you definately wont enjoy your car when people are laughing their asses off at you

    as for the some people only drive fords....its not a matter of choice...Stevie nicks has more talent then the person who is singing here, apparently you dont hear that

  • Never tamper----The original is by far much better than this crap. Stupid kids.

  • it wasent bad, however people talk about like it changed the world... besides the story is very good however the acting and the direction of the movie ...blew

  • Instantly better than the Lindsay Lohan Cover ;-). Althoug...I don't know, it's not better than the original imo. Thanks for posting anyways.

  • Technically, it IS a band, as Jonas Tomalty has a backup band. But, usually, it would be referred to as one person, yes.

  • 1:48 :]

  • this is a shitty version , stevie nicks is better than this douche

  • jonas ? wtf not them

  • *headdesk* Jonas is not a "Them". You could bother to read a smattering of the posts and realize that it's Jonas Tomalty. Or just watch the video. This is not the kinda music the Jonas Brothers sing anyway.

  • srry i didnt wanna read gosh u dnt have to get mean

  • i agree, nothin beats the original, but i think this version is second best

  • eh. original is always best

  • I agree getknifed LMAO

  • 2:14 best movie and book made EVER!! lol love this song :]

  • im sorry the book was a great novel, but the movie blew. while i understand that the book is always better maybe it would help if the director atleast tried to read the book before slaughtering it.

  • I actually agree. The movie wasn't bad, i suppose, but it was nothing compared to the book. Tis the same reason I dislike most of the HP movies.

  • Yeah i thought the book was better too, but i don't think the movie was that bad. :]

  • Comment removed

  • He can't sing... he knows he can't... that's why he's doing all of those "tricks" with his voice and making it sound like he can, but to a trained ear... no. Just... no.

  • alot of artists do that

  • I dont care it sounds good and i like it and those tricks work
