I love this song to begin with, I've alwyas found the piano arrangement quite haunting. This was an amazing cover. You did a really great job. Keep up the good work.
I guess I've just fallen hopelessly in love with you. I never thought it was possible to cover Tori and convey such a load of emotions... Your talent left me speechless. Thank you so much.

Your piano is breathtaking...your overly dramatic speech and singing is offensive. The magic of Tori lies in her playful innocence that transforms into haunting passion when she begins to sing. I can barely watch without getting a gag reflex.
People who don't clearly convey their message give me gag reflex, too. And that would be you. My constructive criticism...wonderful piano...stay away from Tori's gold with that choir boy voice and testosterone of yours, Mr. Sandoval. And kerrplop82...stop being a pansy ass.
as usual, i think your voice and piano work are great! and beautiful. but i think when you listen to tori's versions of this song, there is a lot more space, the tempo is not so rushed, there is more silence, etc. makes the song more dreamy you know? your interpretation is more combative.
As I LOVE Tori's version of this I thought I was going to hate this...but it was so unexpectedly emotional and totally inspiring! Thank you for sharing your talent :)
oo i just read everyone elses comments. the looking in the camera in this type of lighting makes your eyes peirce right through the computer screen and i think its amazing - good shot. also, i agree with whomever asked you to do a cover of 'spark'. im sure you could rock that :)
Beautiful, haunting version. I don't want to be spamming you with a billion comments... but I am loving your music! I love your interpretation of this song, someone said it was creepy but I feel this is how Tori meant it to be... sweet sounding piano which makes the lyrics all the more haunting.
Every time I come back and watch your videos I am re-impressed. You are nice to watch sing and your voice is beautiful. It's so smooth and not butchered the way some people who try to sing Tori's songs are.
Thanks and keep up the great work. You're awesome!
Holy shit dude! That was SWEET! Nice voice and love the intense facial expressions! I really don't know what to say... I think I'm still hypnotized by your eyes! Awesome job man!
Does that make sense kinda?? Sorry, I really wanted to say that, somehow. Also have to add that you were really creeping me out with your eyes. Maybe it was because the song seems to give off a sense of naivety and exploring masturbation for the first time...I don't know the eye thing just wasn't working for me.
You have a very nice voice so when there are less lengthy slow parts to songs they sound really good, but I think for a song like this that is consistant in its melody you should probably switch it up a little when you cover it.
I think that you have a really good voice; I think slower songs like this don't really do it justice though. It's a hard song to pull off, because it's a fairly simple and safe melody so it's hard to make the vocals too interesting--Tori does this amazingly by varying her tone and such, but I think that's a very hard thing to do. She also slows it down a lot to exaggerate lines and words and I think you prefer a steady rhythem.
I ran into your rendition of "Pretty Good Year" while searching for Tori uploads. I had no idea I would be spending the next hour listening to every single one of your uploads.
You are amazing. Vocals. Feel. Demeanor. I cannot listen to Tori covers, but you make them your own while still paying homage. If you could, please learn "Putting the Damage On" -- I think it would be beautiful.
And keep working on originals. You could totally make it.

Beautiful, even after the 10th time.. beautiful. You have a soft, relaxing voice, and attitude as well. I mean, the attitude that's transmitted throughout the song. Great. I'm melting.
The emotion here is intoxicating. I am so jealous of your talent, both vocally and on the piano. Not to mention the way you're able to completely inject yourself into every song you cover, to where it doesn't even slightly remind me of the original artist anymore - it's all about you, and I love that. Amazing job on this.
Hot! Next time can you do it with your clothes off? just kidding. :P~ My all-time favorite Tori song is "Precious Things". I would absolutely love to hear you do that! Your amazing!
...I wouldn't mind you looking into the camera all the time...i actually really rather hate people with eyes like yours...cause i an't think up anything new (read: original) to say, knowing that all you've heard your entire life is how deep and pretty and everything your eyes are.
*dies from flirting across the anonymity of the internet*
Actually not bad. And I HATE Tori covers as a general rule. Don't look at the camera. Just. Don't. I hate it when she does it, too. She's got devil eyes.
great job matthew! i was a bit skeptical at first with that particular tori song choice, but you made it work! you have a great quality to your voice! thanks for sharing! and there's absolutely nothing creepy about the performance except the creepiness that's intrinsic to the song! Cheers!
I thought you were great and you've got a great voice. Definitely hope to hear more from you. Except be sure to put the camera in view of your hands too! Not that you aren't cute... totally are. But half the fun is *watching* people play!
