  • wow you you can realy sing!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Good stuff bro

  • Sorry, we can't help and write another comment. Your voice is so similar to Neil's voice and heavenly that you would sell out The Vegas Strip. OMG!!! Unbelievable. If you can make my wife shed a tear as she did when Neil sang to her once, my friend .. You have a million dollar voice.

  • @stevemichelle1203

    Thank you for your wonderful comments. I have covered several Neil Diamond songs on YT and it never fails to amaze me that people say I sound like him, because I don't consciously try to. This is my voice. The only thing I try to do that is similar is I try to express the song in the way he does, because he always seems to get it on the button. No surprise considering he wrote them :)

    He sings it with a cry in his voice, to quote his own words :)

  • Are you joking??? What in God's name was that??? I'm not a professional singer, however We have had the privilege to have seen Neil perform live a number of times. We were shocked, amazed and absolutely blown away from your talent. I hope you share this talent with many more people. We wishe you the very best... Cheers!

  • Hi - you sound great. I'm a professional singer and you sound amazing. I've covered a few Neil Diamond songs such as "I Am I Said" - would love your opinion on antonywolfsonmusic - thanks, Antony

  • @antony1312

    Thank you. I went to your channel and found a load of other singers, but not you. Is there a YT channel with some of your material on?

  • wow that was good. ; )

    

  • @jordanrivers1

    Thank you :)

  • I really wasn't expecting that......well done..lovely voice.

  • @notoriouskitty1

    Thank you :)

    It's always a pleasure to sing a bit of Neil.

  • @mylittlenigel

    Thank you :)

  • you seem to be saying 'ello, instead of Hello, in some places which sounds a bit odd.

  • @CrazyPersonified

    For some reason I just imagined singing it in a cockney accent. Now that would be amusing :)

    Thanks for the comment :)

  • Cute!

  • @TJammes

    Thank you :)

  • i appriciate your response in defence of your singing, and if it is you then i can hold my hands up and say sorry, but..... at this time i ( my oppinion is) that it is nothing more than a mime?

    the whole track sounds like a recorded version not live and the voice is out of sink,

    you did say it was recorded on a video cam for better quallity and if as you say it can be out of sink,, this wouldnt happen with a camera as video and sound are captured at the same time,

  • @yamyamalarmbloke

    Fair enough. Although I have a 100 videos on here. 26 of them are my own songs. If one wanted to make comparisons it would be easy.

    I have to disagree about the synch thing with the camera. An analogue camera records to a tape. The video and audio are on separate tracks on the tape. The problem comes when encoding the video for sites like Youtube. Codecs compress the video and audio separately. Frame drops can cause synch issues.

    You bring up an interesting issue.

  • @jeffstunes i like it and i would love to sing neils songs his great hits when im in the car i always sing along me and my boyfriend would like to sing his songs but it will take time hes going into radiology and im going into nursing and we both want to race NASCAR so it will make it difficult

  • and no!!!!! he isnt even in sink with the song !!!

  • @yamyamalarmbloke

    Do you think so?

    Every now and again someone thinks it's not me singing. Each time I take that as a compliment to either my singing or recording. Some of my videos are out of synch because of the recording equipment I was using. Crappy webcam :)

  • @jeffstunes

    crappy web cam ????

    you said this one was recorded on a video recorder not a web cam cus u comented on the quality of the video being better?????

  • @yamyamalarmbloke

    I've done so many videos on here that I lost track. My bad. You can choose what you want to believe. That's fine by me. All comments are welcome as long as they are not rude and abusive. Most of those ones get deleted.

  • if you think this guy is singing on this you must be d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.stupid

    im going to start singing like ronnie james dio

  • if you think this guy is singing on this you must be d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.stupid

  • i like that you have a better camera than b4 hehe :P

  • @ShizzyGames

    Thank you. Yes that first one was an old webcam that I had. I moved up to a video camera. Nothing special, but better than the webcam :)

  • BRILL WELL DONE MAN

  • @colxdark

    Thank you :)

  • fantastic singing could you sing for me love on the rock s please by neil diamond many thanks and brill voice

  • @2356martin

    Thank you very much. That is no sooner said than done. I did "Love on the rocks" last year :)

    If you go to my channel you will find it in my uploads.

  • Stunning is all I can say. You have an amazing voice. Would be fantastic for you to pursue this. Your conviction is fantastic. Love to hear you sing Home from Michael Bubble. Let me know when you do

  • @dmspencer36

    Thank you very much. The music industry is very fickle and notoriously hard to get into. Each year that goes by makes it even harder. So if I do not achieve any success through that route, I can at least know that I enjoyed the journey :)

  • You do Neil Diamond proud ! You have a beautiful voice and sing with such emotion. Well done!!!

  • @amsrih

    Thank you very much. I'm glad that some recognise the emotion, because I believe that is what singing is all about. Neil Diamond songs are perfect for that :)

  • Me encanta!

  • @YasminaCt

    Thank you :)

  • Excellent!

  • @axlrose9951

    Thank you :)

  • My dog just shit himself

  • @taultales1

    Thank you for the wonderful compliment :)

  • Hi try berni6065. Neil diamond covers. Sung in a sitting room. Sorry no special recording gear. Just love his songs I am I said

  • @BERNI6065

    Thank you :)

  • I think you should join a band as lead singer. The audience's would love you because you have a fantastic voice. Your versions of Neil Diamond songs sound just as good as the real version.

  • @bluenosesrule

    Thank you. Circumstances have made it difficult for me over the past several years to do anything like that but I would at least like to do it for a few years to see if there is any interest. I'm hoping that i can :)

  • oh.. i love this song so much... my dad used to sing it.... great voice...

  • @theannoucha

    Thank you :)

  • beautiful voice =)

  • very good, i hope you do more songs like those ones. a request is for you to sing "Your Song" by Elton John.

    Blake

  • Thank you Blake. I've got a number of Neil diamond covers uploaded to Youtube. I haven't done any Elton songs yet, but there are a few of them on my enormous request list, so I hope to get around to doing one or two in the future :)

  • Yes, I really love this song!!.

    You got a brilliant voice... Great cover!!

  • Really good mate ...did a version myself on my profile....thanks for sharing.

  • Thank you :)

  • wicked

  • Thank you :)

  • Wow. At first I was kind of scared about seeing someone singing Neil Diamond songs, since he has such an original voice, but I needn't have worried about it! Very nice indeed :)

    - Robin.

  • Thank you Robin :)

  • The closest to Neil himself I've ever heard!! And I'm a die-hard fan, so that's really sayign something. Wonderful job!

  • Thank you very much. The funny thing is, is that I don't even try to sound like him. I just sing with a sharper tone for his songs :)

  • wow! thats dam good 5***** happy new year jeff

  • Thank you :)

    Have a good 2009 :)

  • Great song excellent voice you have talent ;]

  • Thank you very much :)

  • "There are those who like Neil Diamond and Those who dont" Bob Wiley.

    I happen to be one who does and he would be proud of your effort, and maybe a little nervous you might take his spot! Great Job!!

  • I'm one of those who does like Neil Diamond. As he mentioned in "Song sung blue". "Sing it with a cry in your voice", and that's what he does with great effect. I am a believer in expression :)

    Thank you :)

  • THIS is why I ask you if you did Jazz Singer covers when I saw your duet with Karen! This is my second favorite Neil Diamond song next to "Love On The Rocks"! Jeff you did not disappoint my friend! You were BRILLIANT!!!

  • Thank you. "Love on the rocks" is another song that is on my massive request list (over 200 songs now). I've got another cover, then a string of originals to put up and then some more covers, so I hope to get around to doing that one in the future :)

  • where do you get the straight music without vocals from? i would really like to know if u can tell me please.

  • It's on one of my karaoke discs :)

  • hmmm....that sounded really good for a karaoke disc. maybe cuz it was a simple piano song. good rendition too. i know this song on the piano. i'll have to post a video of me playing it.

  • me too

  • you have an amazing voice sir! awesome top stars...straight in my favs

  • Thank you :)

  • Hey jeff - i have a request if its possible

    its Neil Diamond - Home Before Dark ,from his latest album(Title Track) i think u could pull that 1 off as well

    cheers

  • What a nice version, well sung and very enjoyable. Thank you.

  • Thank you :)

  • Thank you. Or should I say Mucho gracias :)

  • I was pleasantly surprised when you started singing!!!GREAT! THANK YOU!

    regards from Holland

  • Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

    Best wishes to the Netherlands :)

  • That was dead on, keep up the good work. I would love to hear you sing a cover of the Beatles, "let it be."

  • Thank you :)

    I did a few covers related to the Beatles. One was Paul McCartney's "Here today", and the other was a challenge to re-invent one of their album tracks, and I chose "All I've got to do" :)

  • I can tell you for a fact that it is not Neal Diamond singing..it is this guy doing it because you can hear that he hits the notes a little different then the real version....so

    Very nice job

  • Thank you :)

    The funny thing is. I don't even try to sound like Neil :)

    Most of the music in the Neil Diamond songs I sing has soft tones, so I add an edge to my voice to compensate :)

    It helps with the overall tone balance.

  • Tremendous job. Enjoying your videos.

  • Thank you :)

    I'm glad you liked this one as well :)

  • it would be good if it was even him singin...

    hes sat in his house in front of a computer and a mic and ur tellin me u always get that sound do you what sounds like a recording studio version..

    mmmmmm.... no

  • I'll take that as a great compliment. Thank you :)

    It is me singing. It's the microphone that makes all the difference. Mine is an AKG C1000. It gives fantastic reproduction. Plus I added a little reverb on top.

    You're right about me sitting in front of my computer though :)

  • well i didnt expect that back.lol.

    fair enough.. im sure i can believe you just this once.lol.

  • Aww wow! How good are you! :)

  • Thank you :)

    It's all good fun :)

  • Great job!!!!

  • Thank you :)

  • i must say, you are quite talented. you have a great voice and its very enjoyable to listen too. keep up the good work. your replies to haters are AWESOME btw lol. they are very witty, but ur maturity remains intact. its a shame those messages, along with some of these racial-demeaning names (like a few under me) have to be here. again keep up the good work!!

  • Thank you very much :)

    Every human being in this world is physically, more or less the same. It is our minds that vary wildly. So whatever anybody writes. Nobody knows me as well as I do :)

    That goes for all of us.

  • Could you add me also as a friend jeff thanks!!!

  • I have done it :)

    Thanks for the request Will :)

  • Jeff...pay no attention to delesdog...as the saying goes, "those who can, do...those who CANT, criticize"...:-)

  • Thank you. I'll answer you properly in reply to your mail :)

  • Are You a DJ you have a great voice for radio and a singer.

  • I did a bit of DJ'ing a good few years ago now. My speaking voice has been used for a number of different things, including telephone services.

  • Amazing:)

  • Thank you :)

  • Neil Diamond got an accent! XD LOL Awesome singing, mate. Enjoyed it.

  • could you add me as a friend jeff please many thanx

    jimbob

  • I think I already have Carl. You are on my friends list :)

  • good rendition keep it up  jimbob

  • Thank you Jimbob :)

  • looks like you're faking it to me....nice try!

  • I think I'll take that as a big compliment :)

    My natural tone is quite similar to Neil's so I find it quite easy to sing any of his songs. I've done a few of his on here so far.

    Thank you :)

  • Those who can, do...those who cant, criticize!...:-)

  • Congratulations!

    Excellent interpretation!

    I am really impressed.

  • Thank you very much :)

  • Loved it! Thanks so much Jeff. Neil would be impressed!

    Lisa

  • Thank you Lisa :)

    I find most of his songs easy to sing. They are right within my range :)

  • your welcome been a fan since i was a boy

  • nice come back comments jeff dont worry some people like your songs

  • It's something you have to put up with when you upload videos. It can be entertaining at times. None of it affects me though. :)

    Thank you :)

  • You seem to have been doing quite well in avoiding me already. You've been a member for a year and a half and you've only just commented on one of my videos :)

    Shame on you. You could have been writhing in agony for longer, had you found me earlier.

    I work on the premise that if more than 50% like me then it's worth doing. I calculated that 90% like me. Oh well. You'll just have to avoid my videos because there's lots more coming :)

  • wow... I can honestly say this was a terrible experience for me... Please, Please keep your disturbing videos away from the internet, and possibly together, we can all save the others from the trauma and disgust i've just experienced.

  • hello again hello...just called to say FUCK YOU JEFF

  • I'm not sure that I would engage in sexual relations with you. I don't even know you :)

  • wow way to ruin a classic. when NEIL sings it my penis moves, when you sing it i stabbed my pet rabbit with a pencil. quit singing your ruining my life

  • Poor rabbit. I'm afraid you are going to have to go out and buy some more rabbits, because I'm going to continue to sing. The way they breed though, you shouldn't have much of a problem finding some. Actually. Get about 60 of them. Then you can kill one for each video of mine that you watch :)

  • She is 7 years old in that picture. The authorities would be very interested in meeting you. At least I'm not a Paedophile like you are claiming to be.

  • guess what your a faggot....you stupid fuck..look at me i got a dumb haircut and a dumb face and i sing neil diamond i'm so cool

    FUCK YOU JEFF

    FUCK YOU

  • It's like New york. They named that twice too. Do you really want me that much?

  • Great job jeff...having been a professional musician for over 30 years and one who sings a lot of Neil Diamond, I know he is not an easy artist to cover...you did a fantastic job!...keep up the good work...:-)

  • Thank you very much :)

    That's a wonderful compliment. I think I have a tone which must suit songs like his, because I don't try to sound like him. I just sing the songs, and express how that song makes me feel :)

  • This is the first time i have visited your site and i have to say this is a wonderful cover of pr
