  • I hate to say this, but you yell too much. It was alright for awhile, but as soon as you did those leaps, it sorta killed the song. Also, work on vocal control just a bit on the higher parts. If you can do that, it would be amazing. Good, but not great. Sorry! :/

  • This my second time watching you sing lol! Your very blessed keep up the good work:)

  • Love you got soul;)

    Like a million gorillas gnawing my face while shrieking in my ears the soft lullabys of their aeons frustration. I liked it alot. You got my vote.

  • omg... overkill. take it easy man, it's a calm song.

  • well first i have to congratulate you on doing a good job on this cover, and for picking such a good song. now that that's out of the way, i have to say that it was hard to make out some of the words, and i'm sorry but you just seemed to be all over the place dynamic-wise. i know i may be sounding like a jerk right now but hey, i have to be honest, i just didn;t think it's as good as everyone says. sorry man. but i commend you for putting yourself out there like this.

    I apologize for any negative effect this has had on you.

  • this is FUCKIN AMAZING! Keep Rockin \,,/

  • I LOVE THIS COVER , YOU ROCK!!!

  • you sound like Sting in this....kick ass

  • this is probably one of my favorite covers of yours! :D

  • I love how you criticize his english when you can't even spell the word "english", or "your". It seems like only one person here needs to go back to elementary school and learn proper "englisch"

  • please, he has such a soulful voice! and hes is putting his heart and soul into every word, thats why he makes the face..you idiot

  • @DanielGogolla haha :) Internet troll :) If you kill one of them you'll get +3 to charisma and all the loot :)

  • Your cover of time after time is really nice, but next time u should try to don't scream that much...

  • i didnt understand one word you sang... lol

  • try to do a cover of the fray- how to save a life, i think your voice would be great for it

  • you sound really good............. i love it!!!

  • it,s fine my friend

  • try singing B-52 Songs, like red red wine, your voice will suite that type on music better

  • Haha, UB-40 did Red, Red Wine. The B-52s did Love Shack...

    his face goes all weird lawl

  • like your original take on it! xx

  • AHHH, your AMAZING!! :]

  • i was just bored and watching video's untill i come onto Ben deignan and really he surprised me and i've looked to all his video's and thinking why the hell are you still on youtube? you can be a big star if you ask me .. see ya :)

  • a cover is so an artist can piece the song together himself and not try to be like someone they're not. he put his own shit into this cover. if you could ask any of the musicians you listen to, i can guarantee you they'd say the same thing.

    <3

  • oh this is for blindsidec

  • you totally remind me of adam levine... seriously, like his brother or something..

  • great video

  • This kid is good, all this critique of his style & chords is total nonsense. I bet he has some nice original work as well. Great job in my opinion & very very talented!

  • you should stop playing to the camera so much. y'know the faces and such your making while playing? makes you look corny homie.

  • i think your truelly great,i wish i could sing like that!!!roK on brother!!!

  • I could do 10 times better.... singing and playing so if you really want me to post a video to prove it ive no prob destroying this little bent pece of shit.... and whats the knob talking about diffrent versons of the chords....... theres 2 ways to play guitar right and wrong and hes playing it wrong simple as that. look dont mean to sound like siman cowell or anything its just hes absoulute rubbish if you were musicians youd hear what im talking about. and all these deaf people think hes great

  • holy shit dude you have no idea what you're talking about. he's putting his own spin on the song. any idiot can learn tabs, but to have originality in something is truly great. he doesn't make a single error in instrumentation or vocalization and you're obviously jealous. and no i'm not deaf, i've been a musician for 9 years.

  • I know all this u idiot.... and look when someone is good im well up for giving credit.... not a bit of jelously in me dude.... and yes i know hes trying to be original the strum tap thing is nice il give him that but the chords are wrong you cant change chords in a song

  • and i think hes just simply not capable of hearing the wrong chords.... and ive never used tab in my life i do it all by ear.... if he stopped all this (boys with men) bendy bolox it wouldnt be two bad.... and pronounced his words better.. and fixed the wrong chords but used the same stum then it would be nice try it dude

  • when adapting a song to acoustic many artists change the chords. he's taking a full band song and only playing with one instrument. he's playing the right chords, in a different key. if you listen to this version the chords go exactly with his voice. cindi lauper hit some pretty high notes and it's understandable that he would change the key in order to be able to sing.

  • Ok your a pure amature.... if you wana hear a good cover of this song check out these dudes.... just serch time after time Brian mc fadden.... dont mind hin check the other guy out

  • And if you cant hear the WRONG chords think you might as well smash you guitar if your playing 10 years.... I Know he changed the Key but Incorrectly... intro is cool but when he starts singing thers no Am its just F to G.... then when he sings Flash back.... Its F to G not just F.... Warm nights should be Em and at behing its F so im sure any musicians who actually know what there talking about would agree ....Dont pretend you know it all when you havnt got a clue. SO listen aging mate

  • Well a cover is another persons take on the song...to do it exactly the same or change it is up to that person....I as a active musician disagree with you! He changed the song to fit his style and voice while at the same time being unique and staying true to the original.....So we await your video. I cover many songs in my set...some I hold true to, others I change keys and try to be unique...That is what music is about...Dont hate.....Keep up the good work and dont let the haters get to you..

  • I Understand that mate.... i love when people are original and of course by all means change the key of the song sing it diffrent a little... but hes playing Wrong chords look at my statemant on the other comment it explains where he is doing wrong... and dont you think all the bendy notes are too much hes not good at bending his notes and i think he doesnt need too as his natural voice is good enough to do with out all this boys to men crap.... and you can disagree all you want. Fact is im rite

  • i thought that was pretty cool man.. but take i easy.. i dont know if it was the device you used to record.. or what.. but it was a bit loud at times

  • You sound like a cross between JUstin Timberlake and Sting.

  • criticism is good but i think he is rather great lol, i can imagine he's not everyones cup a t =)

  • i dont like his crazy breathing

  • crap come on how can people think this cheese bag is good... hes playing all wrong chords on guitar... and sounds like a chineese trying to sing in english... and all the stupid bendy notes are crap destroying agreat song

  • hes playing just different versions of the chords and it still sounds good. hes got a great voice, give him some credit. unless you can do better and post a vid proving it then get off his ass

  • why are you not famous????????????

  • cheese

  • Im in love ( :

  • I just ♥ your voice, just try not to overpower it too much....

  • omg you are damn good

  • You're so hot !!! Wow !! You singing is amazing ! You should go to american Idol or something like that ! But just watch when you go high in your notes because it seems to be really overpowering, like don't try too hard. You have the voice to do this song. Sorry for ma english, I'm french!

  • Wow - this is your best cover!  Great vocals. I hope you make it!

  • i hope a music agent sees this...

  • I think I love you, will you marry me? :P

  • actually love you :|

    xoxo

  • someones trying to break into the pseudo-soulful, folksy, fratboy rock genre ala dave matthews, john mayer, etc.. also, please dont use the word ballad, makes me think of 80s hair metal.

    LOL just bustin yer balls kid

  • NICE MAN... YOU GOT IT!

  • Really great. I haven't listened to too many of your covers, as of yet. But, this has definitely been my favorite.

  • You'll say that about all of em, trust me lol.

  • you rock hard!!!I LOVE THIS SONG! we're doing an acaplla cover of it in my vocal jazz group! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! you sing it well!

  • O.A.

  • love the reggae scent in this one:)

  • loveee itt

  • dude ur soo good i can't get over it!! in every one of ur videos. r u trying to get signed or no? cuz u should

  • ...superb voice...professional...your guitar playing lags behind your singing abilities...let somebody else back you up...on guitar...

  • Other way round you mean.

  • has any1 noticed.... he loves wearing tee shirts...... great voice btw...

  • brilliant cover for this song x

  • Awesome Cover Man

  • this would be perfect if you learned how to pronounce words when you hold a note. consonants are key!

    Other than that you have got some serious talent =)

  • I LOVE this.

  • c.o.o.l. ;)

  • pretty not bad! keep it up!, guys hes not screaming, but to reach the notes he's got to push the notes ;)

    x hey from oman

  • you changed it too much

  • don't scream all the time man

  • do you really have to scream all the time ..

  • youre hot

  • awesome! loved it

  • Would you consider trying to cover greenday? i'd love it if u wud. ;)

  • Them lips look familiar can i taste them to make sure? ;)

  • awesome !!! greats from France...

  • one other small note, you have such an expressive vocal range with a wide volume shift. You should look at investing in some kind of compressor to put in your mic signal chain before recording. it'll help that clipping ;)

  • is sting/police one of your main influences? heh .. just buggin' .. dude you're awesome. I love your arrangement ... this version doesn't sound as much as a "chick" song ;) I'm totally diggin' it .. and stealing it ;)

  • awesome job ben!!!
