    its nice to see a normal person ( normal in a good way) creating something good.

    do more songs. x

  • your singing reminds me of morrissey...

    or antony and the johnsons

  • Out of all the covers on here this is my fave 5/5

  • incredibly good cover! very nice work!

  • love your version!... great Job!

  • Nice. A fresh take on the original!

  • beautiful!!! did you by any chance transpose it down to your pitch ^^?

  • Yeah, I think it's 5 semitones down from the original.

  • better than adele

  • stupendo! senza parole

  • Thank you!

    uniq voice

  • its a it anthony and the johnsons no?

  • He's got a unique and nice refreshing voice. It may not be perfect but he's got my vote! ^.^

  • this is a great song and you have made it your own version, congrats its really good! keep it up! :)

  • loves it

  • what an amazing cover. your voice is so lovely and original.

  • Definitely, much better than most of the girls' versions I've seen who for some reason seem to murder it. As I've said before the nasal thing is there but I don't think it hurts it too badly. He's certainly on most of the notes and has made it his own in places which is cool. Well done mate, still my facourite cover so far.

  • Nice to see a guy covering this!!

  • sorry its rubbish out of tune badly

  • Your really good mate !

  • great cover!

  • Very nice .. i don't know how to say it in english.. :( .. i can only say that it#s lovely

  • Great job! I liked your voice and the different twists you took with it, the light, soulful tenor made this version really interesting. And I second the other posters, if you don't mind my saying so, you're a handsome guy.

    Oh and your remix of the piano rhythm at 1:55 on is a good addition.

  • really good cover

  • This is a really good cover - your voice has a very personal quality to it.

    Plus, you are very good looking too!

  • v.good

  • is there any way you would be willing to reshoot this shirtless?

  • xDDDDDD win!

  • Haha, er, thanks but no :)

  • ur voice reminds me of some one,..... cant remember his name but i rly like it! nice one xxx

  • you adapted really well to the song! keep it up :)

  • goood voicee'

    not right for that song,

    and you weree a bit sloww'

    x

  • omfg ii love it!

    ii think u did a fantastic job!

    its a girls song and u pulled it off.

    btw - its in a different key because itz a cover! lol it doesnt have to be exactly the same.

    very sting sounding

  • Its in the wrong key mate! But still good

  • Cheers. I know Adele has a low range for a girl, but I still need to transpose it down to hit the high notes, hence the key change.

  • Ahh i c!

    Got good comments! keep it up mate!

    J

  • hey great i love hearing a bloke sing this

    and you did it well :)

    and kudos for piano-ing yourself :)

    super!

  • Well I like it, well done mate. I see what people are saying about the nasal thing, but coming from someone who doesn't know squat about singing, it's my favourite cover so far.

  • Good Attempt

  • I love this song but you sounded like a deaf person singing. Sorry. Good try though.

  • lol thank you mate.

    can everyone who left a comment for this re - watch the video. this guy is tone deaf and breathes out of hes nose, he sounds really bad.

  • some people sing differently, he doesn't sound like Adele, which depending on your perspective is refreshing or sacrilage, for me it's the former.

    His vocal tone isn't perfect, but I like it and anyone who says he's off key or tone deaf are flat out wrong. And give him major props for actually playing the piece on piano while singing, much more difficulgt than all the youtube divas who belt it with no accompaniment.

  • Heh, thanks for sticking up for me Stew :) Yeah folks, it's not perfectly in tune all the way through, and it's not to everyone's taste. But hey, that's why I'm doing covers on YouTube instead of playing to packed stadiums.

  • No problem, I hope to put my own up at some point but I need to strengthen my right hand to be able to play it properly (yes I am that mediocre at piano). I'm more of a bass voice though so it'll be interesting to see the feedback I get doing it in her range.

  • he's clearly not tone deaf

  • its wierd coz it sounds different wid a man sining it but its nice u would b reli good in a band i think...x

  • gd voice not rite song 4 u

  • Blimey, does your ISP charge you by the letter?

  • this is fantastic. brilliant bro

  • Good job, I like this

  • ur good to tell u the truth i thought ud be really jacked up but u kno ur already ur voice iz unique thats the thing people dont git!

  • u did it justice for a guy seeing as its a gals song well done

  • dont listen to those people

    it's a really good version considering how hard this song is to sing, especially if youre a guy

  • its nice, but your in the wrong key! it doesnt really matter though haha good job!

  • Thanks, although it's not so much the wrong key as a different key. Look carefully and you'll see I'm actually a man!

  • well yea i know i just meant a different key then in the song! but good job though

  • reminiscent of take that?. brilliant voice.

  • lol funn shit lol nice voice

    Peace

  • i thought this was amazing, it gave me chills!

  • Sounds wikid comin frm a male, gud job :) xx

  • That was lovely...nice to hear it in a slightly different range from Adele's. Good job :D

  • LOVELY

  • wow :p love u!!

  • hey man this was wonderful, can you please send me the notes? it would be so appreciated. im hoping to enter this song into our school music competition:)

    please get back to me!

    again this was awesome

  • Lovely! I enjoy listening to guys singing a female song. Keep up the good work!

  • gud gud, i loved it

  • Great take on a brilliant song. Well done you.

  • lol you look awkward singing this song but what an incredible job you did with that and the piano. Ive enjoyed this immensely

  • sounds like what anthony and the johnsons would do if they covered this song, god job

  • i love it ! i loved to play it... maybe i'll try to sing too...

  • AUSOME

  • that was beautiful =) well done.

  • good job buddy!

  • its good apart frm i think u r playing the notes higher than normall and trying to sing higher so it doesn't go with the music... listen 2 myn its reali bad quality :D

    x

  • Hmm, nah, both the notes and the singing are 5 semitones lower. I'm a bloke remember. It's just that Adele sings the song fairly low in her range, whereas I sing it fairly high in my range, so it has a higher tonal quality. Something like that anyway.

  • Actually, I take back what I just said... this is very, very good. You have a beautiful voice; I just assumed you were coping Adele cause' it sounds very similar to her voice but ignore me. I judge too quickly sometimes... sorry... but this was lovely!! Keep up the great work

  • Thanks for taking the time to give some intelligent feedback (not always a given on youtube:-)

    You are right in both comments actually, I do have my own style, but I also find it hard not to unconsciously copy the vocal mannerisms of whoever i'm covering. So you end up with a bit of both in there :)

  • That's okay :-) and I agree when you say you end with a bit of both, but considering this song is very hard to sing then I think you've done a great job. I sing myself but I couldn't pull this song off; I'd murder it I think ;) Also, you play the piano too & that's a talent in itself so I think you're doing really well. I'll certainly keep watching this channel :)

  • This was good but to me it sounds like you've picked up a few bad habits, in terms of your singing voice. Try not to copy Adele and the way she sings it. If you put your own style to it, it would sound much more organic. But nevertheless, this was nice. :) And it's a beautiful song.

  • I actually liked his version because compared to most covers he actually varies the tempo and runs a bit from the original, not a ton, but just enough to make it sound different.

  • Great version!!!!!!

  • Very good. Would love to know the notes. I'd love to hear feedback on my version? Mines also male :)

  • grreeeeat voice =) great interpretation thx u

    Keep it up =)

  • your voice reminds me of anthony hegarty´s. very sympathetic.

  • Really lovely. I was waiting to hear a man sing this! Such a good job.

  • Really Good!

    Very Nice

  • Nice Dude (:

  • Wow.... All i can say! Love your Voice :)

  • Sweet =]

  • dude your great!!

  • good job

  • I know this is probably pretty mean of me but your piano part you have is wrong.

    Also!! I loveeee you voice.

    the piano is bflat e and csharp together and then aflat e and csharp and then fsharp and e and csharp

    I sang and played this in my school talent show this year its an amazing song!

  • Ha, yeah I know. But I'm an self-taught hack on the piano and I couldn't play the right fingering properly, so I changed it!. Call it personal interpretation.

  • Sweet!! Thats pretty talented. I taught myself piano too. Apparently I have a good music ear...

    And yes, that is a good name for it. Personal interpretation...creative

  • cute :) lol... that was really good :)

  • Fantastic! Chapeau. I can play the piano, but can never sing at the same time. Great voice too...you do justice to this lovely song and you are good looking too. Well done...good talent there.

  • brilliant, was wondering how this song would sound with a male voice and youve done it justice. must say your voice sounds a bit like Antony and the Johnsons at times which is no bad thing at all!

  • I love this song.

    Is there any way that you can post a video on how to play this on the piano. I would love to learn it.

    Thank you!
