i don't like your voice, but i like what you do with it, if that makes sense. like, i think you have talent, you just got the short end of the stick when god was assigning vocal chords. take it as you will, but good cover.
cmon man you obviously know nothing about elliotts music he plays with so much emotion that his voice doesnt matter and this kid did just that and i think its amazing and beautiful if the video didnt cut right when he finished im sure you would see the crowd agrees
if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything man
Wow, I hardly ever comment on anything on YouTube, but this guy's got a wonderful voice in my opinion! Who gives a shit if it's not technically perfect, there's emotion in it. And that's what counts. And knowing something about guitar playing myself, he definitely plays a lot better than I did in high school. Start a band, unless you already did!
i wish people wouldnt hate on these kids so bad. its pretty cool that they wanted to do elliott songs for a high school performance in the first place. Also, anyone who has the guts to play music alone on a stage should be commended. Keep playing Matt.
He tried something he wanted to with the song. I think it's being on stage added to the inaccuracy of his intentions. However, still needs to find his own voice big time.
pretty good take on memory lane, although you seem like a more pop faster music kind of guy to be playing memory lane.
it was good but too rushed in the strumming section and to the idiot who says he needs to learn how to pick like elliott, 70 percent of the song is strummed and everytime he's played it, he's played it different
Hahahah, your come backs are classic like, hahaha. I suggest you stop defending this shit, lol. People in the audience will be cringing watching this shite, only americans will put up with that, they'll clap at anything.
@whatisayisright props to this kid he's in high school, so unless your 15 and can do a better job than him I would shut your mouth. good job matt im impressed.

you really don't know what you're talking about. elliott strummed this song. it's the intro that's fingerpicked.
besides, he should be playing it his own style
