wow.. dude If I wasnt so fond of my younger memories of this song, I would say this was better than hootie!! you were meant to be a blowfish! or somethin like that :) nice bro
This is just amazing. You took an excellent song and made even better. I wonder if Darius has heard this, and if so what he thought/felt, shame i bet, for not doing the song as well as you.
A friend of mine posted a vid of you doing "Name" by the Goo Goo Dolls on his Facebook, I'm now hooked. You're voice is absolutely incredible. Vocally, you may have Darius Rucker beat on this song. I should be in jail for as many times as I've raped the replay button on this song.
You sing with such ease in your voice. It just flows so beautifully. You are quite talented. I've watched a few of your videos and wow, I've just really been taken aback by your voice.
hey u did hootie proud kid!!!!!! and to all the haters...lick a dick homo's yall just wish u could sing like this kid!!!!!....ive owned a karaoke buisness for the last 16yrs and am a singer/song writer myself and id like to think i kno talent and this kid has it!!!!! stop hatin u douchebags..lol
Your cover of this was definetly worth seeing. I have that exact same guitar also. Never give up music my freind. Because it will never give up on someone so blessed.
it would take me all day to comment on all your videos so i hope you see this your the best i have listen to all of them. you might even be better then the some of the first people that performed the song. i will say you are better. keep singing man your the best!!
please see to it this young man reads this. There is no higher compliment anyone
can give him. I'm 65yrs. old and if someone this young and sing this kind of music
can keep an old womans attention and keeps coming back for more, then he can
consider himself right up there with the best of them and higher than a lot of the best ones. God has surely blessed this young man with great talent..
My little sister just went to rehab, my friend told me to listen to this song, he thought it would help, you did an amazing job it brought tears to my eyes, your an amazing singer, thank you
wow, your fan freaking tastik.. :) beautiful voice.. sooo you single..lol jk but for real absoluty amazing.. i close my eyes i make my own video..your going places... oh and btw the 31 people that dislike this must have been deaf..
@JosephDAllen So.... even if you're right, how is that any different than anything you hear on the radio these days? It's not, and Dupre still sounds better than them.
you will be famous in 3 years at most... u can out do any country singer... just about any singer ive ever heard.. ur voice is amazin... u got what it takes keep em coming
me again! ok, you are 2 for 2! dude, what the hell are you doing on here? get out and go to nashville, and sing in the streets if you have to. time slips away, ive seen it before, you better get to doing something, now!!!!!! im gonna post you all over my facebook, myspace, and do what i can. im freakin blown away!!!!!!
James You are at best one of the best singers i've heard in a lone time. You stand up there with most of the best. Im a good friend of your fiddle player Louis Dronet. Keep it up man.
I hope you are going after a music career, you have the face and the voice. This song sounds great in a country version. I have watched a few of your other videos and they were great too.
@4386teddy i do like it lol....u might wanna read the comment again lol...it says the 30 people that Disliked this deserve a falcon punch....i love this guy hes got a amazing voice...lol but ya no u might wanna read that again
dude i want your album where do i get it .... email me at seymourkristopher@hotmail.com and i also have a hollow electric to give to you send me your mailing address i would like to see you play it !!!!
Dude I've listened to a lot of covers and your really good. Great vocal control decent range and this song isn't easy to pull off. You do just that!!!
@amgbenz88 You're gonna raise eyebrows with that comment from Hootie fans but you know what? I agree. One of the few people I've ever seen whose covers are better than the originals, most of the time! Great vocals, imo; just fantastic.
