Gorgeous, Chris. You’re harmonies are so tight, I love it! And the semi a cappella part at 1:23, I really liked it that you kept accenting with the triangle. That was a cool choice, in my opinion. Excellent recording. You sound great.

@JamesOHareMusic Thanks James, I really appreciate that!!!! :)

[yllekr123]

You were great as always, but I couldn't help thinking about the contest. They are going to tell you if you can sing or not? LOL I wish you great luck, but in a way I hope you always stay here on you tube. I would miss you and your music alot.

[ThePianoShack]

@yllekr123 ha...well you're very kind.  Yeah, to be honest I don't care if they think I can sing or not. :) It's just a good way to get some exposure. Thanks for supporting me & no worries....no matter what goes down I LOVE youtube & the fact that I can do what I want creatively without some "record" person or otherwise telling me what to do. So I plan on being here for a long time!

[shadesofk3]

Again, I love this! I hope you win...you so deserve it! :)

[ThePianoShack]

@shadesofk3 Thanks Kendra!!!!!! You're awesome as always! :)

[kingdomofchrissmith]

To be honest, Chris, when the song started I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. But - AS ALWAYS - your voice won me over in seconds. To make what you do seem effortless is your greatest hidden talent. Even if you don't win, I hope the people over at Ellen give you a chance.

You're a breakout star, just waiting for the opportunity to shine.

[ThePianoShack]

@kingdomofchrissmith Thanks Chris!!!! Means the world buddy!!!! And I love your comment about being a "breakout" star. Very encouraging my friend especially since the only thing to break out with me recently has been my face! Seriously, last week I had a zit.....oh, well....that's another story for another time. :) Thanks buddy....

[petsharon]

As others have so wonderfully put - enjoying, love, awesome and of course amazing..... Happy New Year and this is you're year!

[ThePianoShack]

@petsharon Thanks Sharon!!!!!!!! Love your comments! Happy new year!!!!

[iheartmassey]

Lovely as usual, Chris! Seriously they need to recognize that you've got talent. If they don't pick you I'll cut someone with a spork!!! Ok maybe not really, but you should win! Also...congrats on Doug Scrooge being featured on Movie Quest!

[ThePianoShack]

@iheartmassey Ok Rachel, get your spork ready cause I rarely to never get picked in contests. ha. BUT, it's great exposure. Thanks once again for the MUCHO kind words! And yes, "Doug" got featured on Movie Quest! Woo hoo! We're all famous....well, sort of. :)

[jennylovesjustin3]

If they don't pick you as a winner in this, THEY'RE DEAF! You're amazing Chris! :>)

[ThePianoShack]

@jennylovesjustin3 ha....thank you so much Jenny!!!!! :)

[lara1bee]

I'm enjoying the video edits in this one. And of course, your voice. This is fantastic Chris! I hope you do well in the contest! :)

[ThePianoShack]

@lara1bee Cool, thanks Lara!!!!! I dig your comments so much but especially regarding the edits. That part of the process is often overlooked & there's so much that goes into. So thanks for making me feel appreciated! :)

[twosideswrong]

Commenting on this like i love to listen and comment on everything you post! :)

[ThePianoShack]

[thatsmisskellytoyou]

have I ever told you your voice is like butter? Its so smooth :) I really really REALLY like this, Chris. Its definitely one of my new favorites from you. Great job!!! Oh btw, I've never heard this song before, and now you've got me curious lol.. I love when you introduce me to new music! :)

[ThePianoShack]

@thatsmisskellytoyou Well Kelly, describing my vocals as "smooth like butter" is a great way to "butter" me up! Need to borrow $100 bucks? Sure, here ya go! :) Ok, of course I'm joking cause I don't have a hundred bucks. ha. But all that being said, thanks for the AWESOME comment. I love it!!!

[thatsmisskellytoyou]

@ThePianoShack lol!!! That made me laugh so hard!! And hopefully someday I'll be the one paying you. Buying tickets to your concerts, buying "Chris Commisso" t-shirts and posters. lol

[ThePianoShack]

@thatsmisskellytoyou ha....sounds awesome Kelly! :)

[LaraGmusic]

[RachelJeanneMusic14]

[ThePianoShack]

@RachelJeanneMusic14 Rachel, thanks so much!!!!  Glad you liked my version! :) And yeah, I'm not sure what that effect is in the original song but I like it too.

[TheLotanos]

Nice one! Don't know the original, but this is really great! We need to do some kind of collaboration some time...

[ThePianoShack]

@TheLotanos Thanks man, I really appreciate that!!!!
