[goofydood]

Amazing voice! Awesome job! your very talented =)

[ErinsReadings]

Everyone is saying slow down, but i actually like it faster. Everyone else does super slow with no emotion and yours is fast with total emotion,(:

[BostonSingers]

[Bupperz10]

Slow it down a bit?

[karmaismyfriend]

[Danklin24]

[morbidme00]

[rawrxangel]

[AverageAznGrl]

You have to slow down a TAD bit and sing a bit louder, and then it's PERFECT! Just work on those, but overall, it was GREAT! :D

[EchelonSock]

Omg, is't amazing. :D

[fluteloop0]

you have a unique voice.

[signinandwin]

[kjow92]

[ncbabe000]

i know people are saying that it's too fast, and i have to agree..you should try it again and just slow it down some more? :) but i really like your voice, and you have maddd skills on the piano!

[cjc90]

Very beautiful!! ohh and your cover was good to!!! :)

lol

[tofunugget44]

i really like the tone of your voice its very pleasent it sort of sounds like your holding back though and you shouldnt cause your talented, and take advantage of your range more, but its lovely!

[wastelandblv]

i love it:}

[lindbergva]

You're playing too fast though..

[Hansongrl154]

i agree. way too fast!

[saraisballinn]

lindbergva: in their original version Augustana plays fast,that's how the song is supposed to be,not slow.

lol

[lindbergva]

true but not that fast, listen to 'em and compare

[saraisballinn]

lol yeah

[Ramey427]

Beautiful cover. I'd love to learn to play piano specifically for this song.

[stellacat]

Not a hard song to play. You should try! :-D

[partaymusic]

:) qouges heheeeeee

[omgkevin]

This is pretty good...for babies

[melissaellena]

I love you too kevin <3

[Yankeesbaby20132]

I also have a question. How do get it to flow so well? do you use the pedal or have it som some certain setting? bacause when i play it doesnt have that idk a sort of lasting sound. Thanks.

[melissaellena]

Thank you so much! And yes, I am pressing a sustain pedal while I'm playing. Nothing fancy with it, just hold it down the entire time. I'm really glad you liked my version of the cover : ) Thanks again for listening!

[Yankeesbaby20132]

OMG!! that was amazzinggg! your really good and have a great voice. I made a cover for Boston, aswell and thats how i found yours. but i don't have much of a voice that i could sing it too. so i give you alot of credit for that! Keep it up. =)

[burridad]

great job love it

check out my cover see what you think

again great job

[Gibson90]

i am not very familiar with that song but i thought it sounded really good. my only criticism is that it sounded like you were holding back or you didn't have complete confidence. you should though because you are good. are you in a band?

[melissaellena]

No, I'm not in a band. I just sort of play around on the piano as a hobby. thank you very much though, I appreciate the encouragement : )

[gamesAreAddicting]

A bit fast hun, but your voice is pretty.

^__^

[chachee32]

You are really talented!..i really love your voice, and you piano playing is fabulous! i think i like your version of the song better =D keep it up i cant wait to hear more from you

[SexiiMirMonster]

Your awesome!!<3

[KitopherT]

Wow, really good, have such a good range in your voice. Just cant hear it at some point cause its drowned out my the keyboard, maybe a microphone, just so we can hear you better :o)

Would love to hear you sing it with a guitar as accompliment...

Well done, keep it up!!!

[CelestialJuliet]

I think if you had any idea what you were truly singing about, you wouldn't have played it like you're hyper. It's supposed to be slower for a reason.

[melissaellena]

ha ha, and I think if you had anything better to do than criticize amateur youtube videos for not exactly replicating the original...your comment may have come off as mildly intelligent. You think you know what the music and lyrics are truly about? Please inform me, I'm just dying to know...

Thanks for listening!

[CelestialJuliet]

Hey, you post amateur videos on YouTube, you are asking for criticism. Just because you get one comment that isn't absolutely positive doesn't mean you have to get all defensive. Tempo-wise, yes, it is EXTREMELY fast. But I like your voice, it's unique, and I like your improvisation at the end. I love it when people break off from the original, I just think speeding it up takes a bit away from the song.

Later.

[melissaellena]

My calling you out on what you say isn't a rejection of constructive criticism, I encourage that actually. If you'll notice, I haven't responded to any other critical comments as I have yours. I hardly think telling someone they "have no idea what they're signing about" falls into the constructive criticism category anyway... (Continues...)

[melissaellena]

Your sardonic comment called for a sardonic response, so I obliged. I appreciate the end of this last comment though, which i think communicates your point much better. Truly, thanks for listening and thanks for your opinion.

Happy Holidays!!

[garciausmc07]

awe. i really like your version.

[gigglegrl2012]

You have an AWSOME voice!!!

[TheoneandonlyAmy]

;] This sounds Really goood plus you have a GREAT voice!

[firewalker117]

this is great but did you intentionally raise the tempo

[melissaellena]

ha ha, I know it sounds a little fast...but if you listen to the original it really isn't that much faster. It wasn't intentional, and I definitely make an effort to play it slower now.

Thanks so much for watching! : )

[XOdazzleOX]

you could just slow it down a bit but other then that great job :)

[NMCproductions]

you played it way to fast. play it slower. then your voice will be 100 times better.

[proxas8]

thats the album version. i like that one better.

good job

[DVinn16]

your good you should try out some american or canadian idol id vote for you

[maret21]

I love your voice. =D

[pseudonymuouses]

too fast?

[2braveheart2]

wow....your gorgeous and so is your voice

[shecantsing]

that sounded good! :D maybe if your voice was louder than the piano, we'd be able to hear better though

[GisellexGiselle]

this was great.

although it would have sounded better if you slowed down your piano playing.

but, your really good. i love your voice.

[Pooandeggs]

[MayhemxManiac]

It was very good! You have a nice voice, so try to keep the piano volume down so you can hear it better :]

Btw- do you know where to find the piano sheet music for it? I've been wanting to learn this for awhile (since I can't sing 'worth a darn' and that's pretty much all I can do in this case.)

[BoneCrusherLady]

Hola from Utah!!!!

[Cky11]
