This has been sitting on the list of recommended videos for me for awhile and I decided to check it finally. very glad I did, it is amazing. I love the original so much but I honestly can't decide whether yours is better or worse, they seem so different in some way that I just cant compare the two. The are the same song but it feels like you made it your own. Love it.

Dude I Heard about this song through my brother .. he showed me this cover ... I Learnt this song whilst Listening to you :) .. Just a thank you message :)
great cover! i was wondering, how do you like that mic? i was looking into possibly getting something like that... it sounds pretty good... but youtube i'm sure doesn't do it justice.
HOTMAIL4eVeR98: I agree, but Lady Gagas Pokerface isn't exactly what I would call quality music. When this guy sings it, it sounds completely different, THAT was what I meant when I wrote the turning crap into gold. ;-)
He does an amazing job on all his covers. You should check out the rest of them, this guy is the King Midas of music: He turns crap into gold. Seriously.
Dont get me wrong it was really really good. But, how your describing it, it seems like its better than ben's, but its not. But really really good job.
What would be the point in covering songs unless you added a little something of yourself to it? Covers to have to be exact copies of the original, some of the best covers are completely different from the original!!
Hey Nickelbatx...I very much like this cover, but for you to say that bradntampa, who learned the song the day before this vid was recorded "expresses the emotion of the song" better than the great Ben Gibbard who WROTE the song is just ridiculous...ridiculous!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
First of all... I don't think Ben Gibbard is great. He's just an average musician. Secondly... i think the song sounds better with a slower beat. The original version actually sounds abit rushed. Thirdly, i do not like ben gibbards voice. Not unique and rather dull after the first minute.
