*south african... and yea, it was a good cover eh? I don't know why everyone's hatin.. and as for the "lack of emotion", he's singing it pretty much in the same neighbourhood as Dalls does, so you're argument is kind of moot.
1st he 3rd guy said, "before anyone one says anything, you my man you going far whether you win or lose..." . The lady said, "your eyes are lyrical, you lose urself in the song...". The 2nd guy said, "it's like you aren't here, in good way, it's like left us and went in to the song...u going far". The fourth guy said, "i'll give it to u, u gud, but im not sure if u can sing other types of music"..........more or less something like that
@JoeFromPho ...uh everyone sings at a different 'step', some peoples voices are higher and some are lower, where you put the cap has nothing to do with your individual vocals.
Sounds like his voice vocals on steroids... Meaning, voice can sound a lot better if not pumped up to be forced to make a sound. Signing is like eating fruit… original fruit always has a sweeter taste… especially when getting to the sweet spot. Still though… it is better than I can do. However, then again, I am probably three times his age.
It's really awesome.. You can't compare it to Dallas' version, it's too different. But i like it.. Dallas would love this.. I've seen him live and this song is so full of emotions when he plays is and this dude has also a lot of emotions in it too, but in a different way :)
okay dallas sings it in a key he cant sing hence he changed keys for all of you dumasses its the same song and a good cover if you want to hear dallas sing it dont watch a cover video
I'm a huge fan of Dallas, and I must say I really enjoyed this guys version of the song. Sure, his guitar could use a bit of retuning, but his voice really captured a new essence of the song that was unique and sounded great. Was it Dallas-esque? Not exactly, but it was great nonetheless.
since when are Dallas Green fans so elitist? they guy is a fan himself clearly, kudos for even using this song in his audition instead of some buble or bruno mars or whatever. it's a great cover, and even if you do think he bombed it, you should at least give him recognition for trying and picking a truly great artist to make his stand with.
this actually sounds really good, I don't know what anybody is going on about, yes, it is hard to cover a dallas song but everyone always expects people who do to be as good as him? obviously won't be, so shutup.
....well...he doesnt sound bad by any means, doesnt sound like Dallas though, not that he;s supposed to. But in regards to his capo not being at the 4th fret, everyone has a different voice, and you play for your voice so he played it at a different spot....solid cover, not the best though, definitely not the best
Are you guys kidding me? He did an amazing cover of this song. Look past the comparing with other people and listen to just him and then you might realize he has talent!
Man was he good. I don't really like watching this show but this guy is a plus in my book. He's a fan of dallas green obviously, why wouldn't he be cool?
I guess its one of the best covers of day old hate on youtube so far. His voice and his singing style make a complete different kind of style as dallas's.
Why should he move the capo on the fourth? His voice is so much deeper than dallas's and THAN that cover would sounds bad.
Hes got my respect. Nice voice, nice song choice .. Well done!
(Sorry for my bad englisch, i'm just from germany ;-) )
Wow I hate how the top two comments are negative. Would Dallas be talking shit. This is a talented guy performing the song in his own way that's comfortable for him, I applaud him for not trying to copy Dallas's style 100%
He put the capo on the first fret so he could sing this song in his own range and to suit his own style. Just because he isn't Dallas Green doesn't mean he is bad.
Everyone is saying he did horrible... True, NOTHING can be as good as the original but c'mon everybody sings differently. And the capo could be moved down to go better with his voice. ie. lower voice lower capo and whatnot. I thought he did pretty good, hell, better than I could do xDD
That was pretty good - I HATE covers of City and Colour songs because they usually try to mimick dallas' voice, but this guy kept it original - great job. And it got him through!
How stupid is see guys saying that is wrong play the song in another tune. Please, go take music lessons and learn something about the notes before say shit.
I'm a huge fan of the first C&C album. Like, I'll listen to the whole thing on a loop for hours. I still think this guy did a decent performance. Of course singers will interpenetrate songs differently.
you are all idiots. BdJuLy9 who the hell do you think you are? technically its in a different tuning? didnt anyone let you know there are different ways to tune to the same sound? yeah its not the best cover but it is good considering he barely speaks english and he is front of judges. by the way your cover sucks i just watched it. im better than you
@nottodayimsleeping The guitar IS in tune. and why would he move it to 4th fret if his voice is that low? it would sound way off. he's playing it to his vocal range.
@nottodayimsleeping am...you clearly know nothing about preforming. the song is played perfectly and intonation of the song fits the preformers voice better. it's his preference because he...idk...maybe doesn't like or can't sing as high as dallas.
@nottodayimsleeping He tuned his guitar and capo placement to match the pitch of his voice. Dallas sings at a much higher note than him so he accommodated by tuning accordingly.
@lbcshige as Dallas would say, (which you know he would) he did a good job playing it in his own way, there was absolutely nothing wrong with this. i agree it wasn't dallas green up there but it was talent that played that song.
he actually did make it, he released an album....
