Georgia on My Mind - Ray Charles

[cayterr]

fuckin YEA!

[BreatheLust]

I LOVE YOUR VOICE... <3

[Nichole1712]

I love your voice and how you sing a lot of these songs. For this one in particular I feel like it should be less sharp- still filled with emotion, but softer somehow. Just my opinion :) You have a wonderful voice, I wish you all the best luck!

[vivisolano]

Hi!! Just a few words from Peru. When I started to casually watch your video I thought "Uh, another MBuble impostor"... but you'are way far from being that .You have a really great voice and style. I love this song, it reminds me of Georgia where I left some very good friends and loved ones... thank you so much for sharing this.

[juicylaqueenhomoz]

im from georgia and i think you did a wonderful job! you made me very happy and iit brought a tear to my eye! keep making vids:)

[ProDobrouNaladu]

[rockerhead247]

Wow, you can play piano also. How closely are you related to God?

[Everstreet4parking]

I hope you will live forever .. that would be nice to have your voice in a paradise on earth.

[roodziaczek]

U make my heart sing...

[roodziaczek]

it makes my heart sing. i'm.. hard to say it - but your voice makes me fly:)

[pokerhelper]

i thought this was ray charles. I wish youtube would ban these lame remakes, it makes it hard to find the origninals and cd quality versions.

[amysbl171]

[Libbymare418]

Mmmm.. wonderful... the candle-light and the cabbie-cap is an excellent touch... You are aware there are women allllll over the world just dying for someone half as handsome to sing this to them?

[BBHRalle]

[unmountable1985]

Shootin! This is like George Clooney singing Ray Charley. Wicked combination, but really good sound ;-)

[carlopater]

Ray charles truly the best no one can cover his songs

[natsgirlmonalisa]

mmm mmm mmmm. i just love your voice. it is so refreshing to see someone like you belting the tunes that i grew up with. my mom loved ray charles and this rendition brought back some great memories. please dont change!!!! one of your many fans.

[wiseftworth1]

this was one of my favorite all time songs, you made it my favorite. great job. Peace.

[JohannahWills]

i love this song. as with your voice!

beautiful. xxx

[Paramaryl]

Yeah baby, I like you. I am going to break my mode and make a suggestion... I'm not feeling your heart in this song - you're singing it well, but I don't hear/feel the ache and longing that a rich bluesy tune like this should carry. Milk and extend some of those notes a little longer, and when you're singing it, draw on the memory of someone unforgettable who forgot you. But man... I'll follow that with... there is something about you... some of that "it factor."

[EmmettGoldstein]

yeah man you do really have a great tone to your voice. One thing i might suggest is try adding a little more dynamic to it especially on a song like this. Try infusing maybe some falsetto on higher notes and open up for darker sounds on the low notes. Great tone tho man keep at it

[lcsoulsinger]

Great job. If I'm stalking you let me know! haha. You have a very good voice. Some control training might be good for you though. Some singers think that once they feel like they're good they no longer need to do that but really that's not true. I've been a performing artist (in belgium) for 8 years now and i still practice every day. You have a star quality voice so keep on working on it!! :-D

[jackbauer2469]

georgia is definitely on my mind.

beautiful song about a beautiful person ;)

[GeorgiaBland]

Im called Georgia :D

[dahnesdrums]

sweet jesus, this was fantastic

[54910381]

man what to say more than what i said before......

your voice is smashing and so are you.

[xchadx123112]

awesome voice, ben!!!...ur really cute, too...lol

[gonzo1137]

WOW, you left me speechless! Truly Talented. Please keep singing and if you are ever singing in Colorado, keep us informed! LOL

Steve in Denver

[silviyavadim]

im Your fan :) hugs!!!!! wonderful sung.....

[bibifat]

I love this song too....

[nikita3969]

wow.......mi lasci senza fiato ;)

[kuuleinani21]

great! haha after i watched ray this song got stuck in my head but i couldnt sing it if i tried so i can just listen to your version haha

[SteFFenDolphin]

the more i hear you the more i want to sing myself... You have a great voice ... if there ever was something available from you I'm pretty sure it's a succes and I'm definitly a fan

[bishophitch]

im going to be honest...tho ray charles and stevie wonder songs are probably the 2 most scary songs to try and pull off, and many fail...you took a risk, and put ur own twist to it, and you did ray proud. very nice voice man. much love on ur talent in music. dont ever let it go. music is passion

[bensharkey]

I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me this. thank you!! :,)

[JonasParamoreForever]

I can honestly say that your voice inspires me - i can't get enough of your videos and I can't wait to hear whatever else you post on youtube :) i think you're fantastic and I really hope to that you get a chance to sing live in Europe some time :)

[holla1holla2holla3]

Ben, don't listen to these silly comments. As you can see, the people who offer criticism have posted none of their own videos! I think you are absolutely wonderful, thank you.

[JDT120]

good piano cheezy voice im being brutally honest here i been playing music 10 years piano guitar and DRUMS ur voice sounds like its too loud and out of place im sure u cud practice ur singing and make it sound more elegant or something i think the biggest problem is just the volume of ur voice its over powering the more u clean it up the smoother and nicer the sound good job though keep at it u got potential

[bishophitch]

dude, ive been in performing music for 18 years, and producing it for 12, and your totally wrong about this guy. The sound is not intended to be "elegant" its meants to have a soulful blues sound to it which is obvious. The sound of the vocals seeming amplified was due to the fact that it was a streamline video, not engineered. There wasnt foley mixing goin on to level the channel lines. He hit record, and one taked it. Get over yourself being that critical on something you apparently have no

[bishophitch]

true knowledge about. opinions are one thing, but you werent constructive, you just downplayed this man. This guy are far better than you think I will promise you that. If I got him into a studio, he would catch attention no question about it.

[bensharkey]

thanks bishophitch!!! that means a lot!

[normacuevas25]

Uuuuuuuuuhhhuuuuuu!!!!! SUPEEER GREAT!! REALLY SWEET!

[divinedante1]

You got the voice, you just need to learn how to sing. Use your phrasing, dynamics and other tools than just stylizing for emphasis. You never got below metzo forte the whole time. Also you should put air through your voice now and again its great for bringing the mood down before a big ending.

[Andunei]

Preciosa voz ^_~

[LSDnkoolaid]

<3

:)

[Nyame30]

I don't appreciate your version. Just corny and bland.

[Lucyeths04]

wow you are really, really good. ray charles would be very proud. wow that was great.

[missbabyjane99]

i think ur good n ur being urself ..keep doin ur thing

[mitchylerue]

not bad... but it kinda seems like you are trying too hard rather than actually feeling the song...

it was kinda at one level throughout the entire song.... no soul :(

[imran88]

there's something on your cheek. mind clear that away..

[sillechey]

It's a birthmark.

I love your voice Ben, keep going. :)

[pookiestyxsgirl]

Wow... Je reste sans voix.

I'm impressed. Thanks for sharing this.

[meritz59]

ray would be proud...

G

[asiamonille17]

Suh-wheat.

:p

[Virtuoso84]

Playing for the Cameras is not going to make it any better stay true and genuine you have a good voice you dont need to play it all up for the camera you look goofy.

[marlakiller]

i such a beautiful feeling that someone compose a song like this for be in love with you and if the singer is also good and handsome that is like you are in heaven.

[sonicsomega14]

nice voice:)

[faniaers]

estaria genial que cantaras you don´t know me, te quedaria estupenda. cantas genial y estas guapisimo.

[phreekles]

You're so full of you're self!

[bensharkey]

Honestly though. why do you think that?

[phreekles]

Look at the way you try to seductively stare into the camera.

[kbv650]

hahha..were you seduced?

[missbabyjane99]

i think phreekles thinks dat cos u cute // u look like george clooney

[deLOCOSHOW]

Phreekles... what a hater. Ben can saaaang!

[supergrrl5212]

haha I say he can stare seductively into the camera as much as he wants! Works for me :)

[flavarubble]

oouu! nicely done Ben!

[SunflowerAim]

You have great taste in music. :) I fake playing the piano when I sing too. lol

[sachanaider]

[ellie38390]

[MAnuciao79]

There is one thing I don´t understand. Why do you fake playing the piano?

[bensharkey]

LOLOL! I guess it does kinda look like that. Honestly though I was just singing and not even thinking about anything else. That's funny though now that I think of it that way. LOL! I'm still laughing! thanks!

[teachemariusz]

[Genesis59]

You are the best singer I've heard in awhile! I pray God continues to lead and guide you!

[ronniederhauser]

This is still your best!

[brittay00]

made me cry..

[powpacampara]

awesome!..ppl say you're like buble..not at all..i think you're actually better..no lie..nicely done man!

[lisamwhite]

you are so right, I didn't even know buble existed until I heard Ben cover him. After hearing ben sing it, I was not impressed to hear Buble sing the same songs lol

[ericablanchard]

SUBSCRIBED! :)

[greenhopping]

Love this song! Ray Charles made his own life. Through out his journey, came a lot of great songs. Also, love the way you made your video romantic with the song.

[Sivle08011935]

wow !!!

[kristofferrafferty]

Excellent !! Do something with this voice !! take it from one who didn't and i regret it !! xxx

[SoStefunny2]

You have such a sweet and smooth voice. Gosh I like all your Michael Buble videos. I'm a big fan of yours!

[bensharkey]

Thanks a lot stefunny!

[weltensammlerin]

have to say that you began the song weak

but it was really worth watching it completely

the end is amazing

[alexacr78]

Really good!!! I have become a fan!! ohh yes!! Amazing voice, keep it up!!

[nicolakate1972]

your sooo damn cute

[ProudAspieMom]

I had to share this on myspace! Very soulful gave me chills!

[ICCMUSICMB]

The rusty endings to some of the phrases give the song more jazz. You have soul in your voice. With this song I feel that the simpler the better, but in this case your runs add a flare. I would like to listen to you scat.

[lovejohnmayerforlife]

Man... I never post comments on youtube, but this must be said.

GO AHEAD!

It's wonderful.

[MrJackGrayson]

This is such a classic and I actually enjoyed your rendition of this song. I rated it 5 stars and have added this to my Amazing Amateurs playlist.

[danakathleen]

ONE OF MY FAVS!!!

[bensharkey]

thanks a lot!!

[slipknotchik91]

wow .. very nice version of georgia on my mind :)

[misc0nceptionist]

I really really like your singing.

The timber of your voice really reminds me of Frank Sinatra, you should do some covers of him.

And if you do could you do one for me "My Way"

[amybucz]

Love this more than the original! Your voice is beautiful!

[taygrummer]

hey i play drums play piano and guitar. hey check out my vids and tell me what you think. (they're drums for the most part.)

[annabellestar07]

Hey ... your voice has such clarity and you seem like you mean every word as you sing it. I was wondering . What age were you when you started singing? I love your voice keep going.

[SaBaby]

I didnt get a message to say you had a new video up but i just heard this in the background as i left you a comment, you sound amazing .. beautiful tones :)

Sarah xx

[bensharkey]

Thanks babe, I uploaded two vids in the same day, I think that's why. I'm glad you liked it! I just uploaded a new guitar vid. I think you'll like it! :P

[albert363]

My wife is from Georgia and she says she likes your song!

[AlbertoSuarezMusic]

Damn manm! Didn't know you had all that soul! That was spectacular! Best cover of this song I've heard!

[adrianalimalima]

you look nice... in the darkness :)

Greetz, Benjamin :)

[FreekoKenn]

Great cover of one of my favourite songs in the world! I personally think you shouldn't cut the words up at the end. I'd be killer if you held your notes a lil longer, people would melt!

[penspeaks]

Wow I really really love this..

[gwithadream]

Bravo! Extraordinary performance, Ben!

[guitaflamenco]

yeah, so good, better than original

[ecrira4u]

It's a little strange to hear the song sung in a higher tone. I felt like I was waiting for you to bring the tone down to something deeper. The mood you create with the dim lights begged for brooding vocals with a cigar and a top hat. You could have held a glass of brandy too. You're almost there! If you're gonna do it, do it all the way, I say. I still love your voice, no problem there. It's the act that needs more investment.

[jupik29]

I wish I had a chance to see your concert live. Are you going to visit Europe in the nearest future? :))

[bensharkey]

I wish I had a chance to have a concert! lol! If i ever do on tour I'll make sure I come to europe! :P thanks!

[bmw123321]

Geez this is soo good.

i love your video :)
