I was going to pass this one up and glad I didn't. That's a tough piece! You will have your career. It's just a little matter of time. And... GET THAT VISA! (to anyplace with a singing competition). Props!
This is the first male version of the song "HOME" and I'm hooked!!! Thanks for bringing on "happy tears" God alone knows I need it since I lost my cat yesterday. He's "home". Thnx!
Lol... Who are the people out there posting here?!!! I hear a country white boy singing a song written for a black woman. It sounds just like that... nothing more or less. Is it just me? And someone had the audacity to use names like Etta James and Whitney Houston? LMAO! If you heard that then Ozzy Osbourne must sound like Celine Dion to you! And, he is a bit under in pitch in places... But I will be the professional and say... Overall it sounds good. But stick with your "Country" roots.

@Th3Jeffersons don't hate.. anyone who can appreciate it should be allowed to sing it:) this song isn't to be sung exclusively by black women. there aren't any references in the song that make it not appropriate for a white guy to sing haha! and @singaboi you have a wonderful, beautiful voice! if you're not already, you should pursue singing.
Bugger me, that was not what I expected! You are one seriously talented dude. I really hope you go for a career as a music artist because it would be sacrilege not to! You could do albums (I'd buy them) or West End/Broadway stuff and be a smash, especially as you don't just have the voice but the looks and passion for it too. Go! NOW! Just gonna share thins bit. Nice one dude!
@HomoDoc Thank you so much :) I havent done a video in ages due to being busy and my mac dying :( But I have to say I love how people are embracing this cover because it's definitely my favourite one out of all of them.
Verrry well done. You have a wonderful talent I have never heard a man sing this song and do it justice. The ladies kinda had the market cornered on this one... Not any more you made it masculine and you have wonder inclinations
@5coconutcreampies haha I took your advice, I've just started doing videos again after 6months absense so I'm not sure it's my best but go to my page and there's a Barbra song there just for you :)
Definitely X-Factor Material!! What's stopping you? Audition, my friend.....You've got what they're looking for without question!.....and this world needs to hear your gift. :-) Best of luck to you in EVERY endevour! -Rob
@robertkmackie1 thank you so much! They only thing stopping me is that my country doesn't have an X-Factor however there has been rumours of one coming after the US one has finished airing here but when NZ had Idol I auditioned for all 3 seasons and never once got through so I'm not sure I'm the type of singer they'd be looking for. I'll still try out though.
Damn - This is brilliant - Love the song, love your performance - man you inspire me!! If I get selected for Australias Got Talent next year - I will be working on this song and using your performance as reference!!! Just brillianT!!
@abelflier thank you :) They say you kind of mould your voice with the artist you admire the most and I think they're right I'm a big Christina Aguilera, Etta James, Adele, Kenny Rogers, Lea Michelle, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston fan and I can sort of hear a mash up of them lol
@EuphoniumJ I really wish I could but unfortunately Visa's are not easily accessable to New Zealanders and you have to be able to work in America to audition :( (I did check it out though))
I almost didn't watch this because of the frame that was captured to go with the video selection (it makes you look mad which is not how anyone envisions this song).
But I read a number of reviews first and thought I better not judge this until I hear it...within seconds of hearing it, it was added to my "Favorite" videos, hit the like button and had to leave this comment.
I saw the Wiz on Broadway years ago and got the same feeling of chills listening to you. Amazing job, beautiful voice!
@SteveAndrade623 Hahaha well I guess they say don't judge a book by it's cover but I definitely agree some of the pics I have for my vids don't make them look appealing at all. I'm so so so glad you liked it though.
1002 views! I could listen to this all night! Vocally this performance is so strong and visually it is very believable (and beautiful, you handsome thing you)!!
WOW, I lined up Amber Riley's version in case this was awful and I had to purge my ears after but you were amazing, simply amazing, wow, awesome rendition, really and I loved how you really got into it at the end.....I'm finished now (keep posting)
OH MY GAWD! The single best male version of this song I have ever heard! I just sang this on my channel today as a joke but Jesus Christ I should have just stolen your audio and used it as my own!
YOU ARE SO FANTASTIC, but the lip ring lmakes me ill...its such a visual draw on your face I can't focus on you voice...don't be mad, JUST WANT YOU TO BE THE BEST PERFORMER YOU CAN BE and you shouldn't suffer due to body jewelry. If you stood up and got better breath support from the diaphram it would be an easier sing.
