  • Don't let anyone give you crap about this or any of your over covers. You do a damn awesome job! Rock on!!

  • Amazing voice.

  • Wow this is terrible...why are you smiling? Do you even realize what these lyrics are? sigh...

  • @MrDyssonance just saw the video...she knew the lyrics. its her interpretation. Atleast the girl posted a video and she can sing well. how about you post a video and let us give our critique of your interpretation?

  • Your a great singer, but your cover would be one of the best out there if you played the guitar the same way jon mayer does its not as difficult to play it only took me 20 minutes or so to learn and im not a great guitarist, u should try

  • this is bad

  • go watch Gabe Bondoc's cover!!! it's amazing~~ <3

  • this is disappointing..

    how much i like your voice, you either had to play the guitarpart right or just didn't play it all..

  • I do not like your attitude. That fake smile, uugh. And play the guitar properly please, thanks..

  • Please do the guitar part right. Ow, and learn what this is song is about. FEEL IT. Don't get me wrong. You could do this right, but this is just way off. Not even just a little close to the original.

  • Not bad but i like Leah Pejo better.

  • This would be good if that was the guitar part but that ruined a decent ballad and turned it into a cheap simple acoustic basic song. part of the song's amazingness is the guitar complexity a long with vocals

  • it is true that a different feeling is ignited when you hear the more complex version, but this is just as mellow and soothing as what John created. i like john's version as well as this edition. i'd put both of them on repeat on my playlist

    !! u did a wonderful job!!

  • Great voice. Simple guitar arrangements are just fine. There's no right way to play it. John Mayer refined his arrangements over the years. Plus, she's really pretty!

  • this song really doesn't make you feel anything if you don't play it the same way as John, so a dislike from here that makes 101 ;)

  • It's a tough song and if your like me you don't feel the same about it unless you can play and sing it....I think it's kewl that you offered a simplified version for people to mimic. Not everyone wants to spend that long learning the way it was intended to play. Hell most people cant even tell the difference as sad as it sounds.

  • Seriously, I really love your voice, well, I don't like the way you simplify the guitar part.. But there is something I really didn't like, it's all the mimiks you're doing (like "oh my god i'm so sad, i want you to cry, and then like my video and share it on Facebook"). Nevertheless, it's a good cover, good luck :)

  • I thought you did a great job! it's a beautiful song and you sang it beautifully :)

  • i have the same guitar :)

  • hey dont listen to those wankers!! you did a great job, you made it your own. keep it up x x

  • Great job - the goof-ball posts that think every time you cover a song you have to make it sound exactly like the original are losers. If I want Mayer's version - I'll listen to Mayer. As they say, you "made it your own" - which is what covering a song is all about. Thanks for the post.

  • start sounds like alanis morissette - ironic

  • you are beautiful, and as is your voice. but it takes emotion, heart and soul to cover a john mayer song.

  • i like it:)

    and you're beautiful

  • amazing voice but, those guys are right you should let someone else play the guitar if it distracts you

  • Seriously people need to stop hating on the guitar!! its an amazing COVER, its an original take on an amazing but complicated song... and she pulls it off beautifully!

    Awesome performance!!!

  • you are pretty

  • I like it.

  • You have a nice voice but the expressions of your face looks so fake, and song loses intensity because is not like the song

  • you make me think of my ex girlfriend ;(

  • absolutely beautiful voice, but the guitar is too simple, not enough emotion in the guitar playing.

  • Ana Free is the shit, and she can play guitar very well. Also, she's pretty smokin' hott so why don't yall quit busting her balls. I'd love to jam with her

  • good voice, bad guitar. It seems like most girls are like this, not to be sexist or anything

  • great voice wow

    

  • bit full of urself no offence!!!!!!!!

  • This is a beautiful cover of a beautiful song! At parts you kind of sound like Alanis Moressette! :D

  • nice cover! check out my version!

  • Perfect =)

  • girl, this song is about the guitar,

    not about the voice,

  • why do most pple skip the end part from the lie version its so epic

  • those vocals can get you very wel known!! :) hope you find your way..

  • We freakin love you, greetings from Turin Italy ;)

  • dude u seriously have an amazing voice keep up it chick thats awsome stuff

  • would be much better if you stop smiling

    we have a quote here in egypt says '' el dehk men gher sabab , ellet adab ''

    which means ''smiling (or laughing ) without a reason is not polite''

  • @YoussefSK im sorry to say but the rest of the world dont findt it rude. i find it quite cute ^^

  • @Rawfall yeah but not a fake smile and not every 10 seconds ..and i was joking about the quote .. its not a rule

  • @YoussefSK good thing we're in north america and we like to be happy..

  • @blink182281knilb lucky you ..

  • Portugal ^^

    

  • How did you learn to sing like this?

  • Really good just play louder.

  • Very good, but where is the introduction ?

    =)

  • Bella e brava. Ciao

  • FANTASTIC!!!!

  • Watch my cover too =)

    /watch?v=Yqvf2BeYc3c

  • It's understandable that you are not as talented as John. But really nice cover, you didn't try to copy, made your own, and you gotta have credit for that.

  • you have to eat more, you're too thin, girl...

  • @LeviFartcore what does that have to do with her singing? you stupid idiot

  • why must people troll like they could do better. they're jealous, that's why.

    beautiful song, beautiful performance.

  • @eeeaten nobody's jealous, if anything theyre irked, john mayer's geniousness have been watered down by this rubbish. flat singing, and mediocre guitar playing

  • Could you post the chords for this pleaseee :D

  • I gotta say Im surprised! I was expecting another crappy interpretation... but liked the hue and shades in your voice, it feels good. Yes, its true a lot of people complain about the famous missing guitar part... It would be really nice if you pulled it out, but hey, its john mayer we're talking about, and its not easy at all...

  • You need to play the song the way John does it to do it justice. Simply playing the chords is not how the song was intended to sound. learn it and and repost

  • She says it's cold outside she hands me a raincoat.

  • Okay ana..listen.

    I've been following you for years now.

    It's a fact that you keep getting better BUT it's time to put on a show!

    And it's very important to get better on EVERY area.. the guitar aswell.

    This song is in my opinion not só good.. cause the guitar is simply just too simple and boring.

    Focus on your guitar and i bet you'll be the female john in a couple of years :)

    good luck!!!

  • this is SOOO good and I don't blame you for simplifying the guitar part.. I would have done the same so don't listen to anyone :P this sounds soooo beautiful just the way it is <3

  • I'm love.

  • I'd drive to L.A for you ;). great voice, im sure the guitar part will come.

  • @RHOISON well as she plays is 4 steps up but as john plays you can find them in google its really easy or in 911 tabs or guitar tabs or any of that shit haha

  • i really really like your voice but if you could play the melody as john does i will bow at you and claim you my godness hahaha

  • Hey really well done :-) ... can I ask what the chords are please!?!?

  • OHhhhhhhhhhhh...... Myyyyyyyyyyyy Godddddd........... My first Impression was thatt you are so cute, so I'm just gonna enjoye ur looks only throughout the video. that's why i let it keep playing....

    But when you started singing...

    jeaaaaasussssssss.............­.......

    You are awsom Man..... I mean girll............... Great...... I then forgot even your looks...

    So you loook pretty when you are quiet however, you look amazing when U sing :)

    Great Job!

    But I'm still learning to play it :(

  • take the time to learn the actual song. playing simple chords in standard tuning?never do that to a john mayer song again, thanks

  • Let me say this.. You have a very good voice and I guess your guitar skills have some potential.. but honestly.. This cover did no justice to the real song. You can't really simplify the guitar to this song and not ruin it. All you people who are saying that this is better than the original are smoking some crazy stuff. You are only saying this because she is beautiful. Again you are very skilled. But Mayer's version can never ever be matched!

  • play it properly, you just butchered a good song.

  • is that a tongue piercing i see? yes, yes i think it is....

  • hot ;-) i'll play the complicated part on the guitar if you sing to me while looking in my eyes.... 

  • tens uma voz bonita! ;)

  • Omg, I didn't expect this! Amazing well done :)

  • ur too happy when u sing it...and ur "R"s at the end of "anymore" and other words r too...tight...smooth it out kid.

  • well, you have a great voice, but you just destroy the perfect melody in guitar ):

  • you have a great voice, but this would be so much better if you didnt rush! smile for the song not for the camera :)

  • She has a great voice, she can play the guitar and she is absolutely gorgeous... If she can cook and do the laundry she's PERFECT.

  • nice voice. checking out some of your other covers...

  • I guess Im a hater but I think the whole smug smile/ bubbly attitude you put forward when you sing this song contradicts what this song is meant to be a

  • @OneBalance that's what I thought

  • wow, amazing :')

  • u r perfect

  • i think im in love

  • Hey, you've got a nice guitar. Use it and try to learn to play the song the original way. I think the guitar in John Mayer's original is intertwined into the song, and without it, it just seems weird. 

  • It sucks cause all you did was play a G and a C chord most of the song >_<

    try doing the song in open b, the orignal form, its really simple believe it or not.

  • Wow, that was gorgeous. Love John Mayer. Just my style. You might like this guy, he’s pretty good at this kinda stuff too. Some original bits and pieces comeandgone2010 xx

  • I want your boobs

  • John Mayer is Gay , but Your preety , preety voice .

  • The song loses it's power if you simplify the guitar part in my opinion.

  • @SaladTaste in my opinion, her voice is so good you don't really notice.

  • @ownagi Well I guess we don't share the same opinion than. (: There's nothing wrong with her voice btw, I think it's wonderful. But in this particular song part of the beauty lies in the guitar part, and that part is lost when simplified.

  • @SaladTaste I can definitely see where yo'ure comin' from :]

  • @SaladTaste the original guitar part is great. but I think you have to admit that you can listen to john mayer performing it when you want to hear it, there's not much point in playing a cover when you do it the exact same way. also it would take a lot away from the strong voice because she'd had to concentrate more on the guitar

  • @SaladTaste absolutely :)

  • @SaladTaste it's cause she's not a good guitarist

  • @SaladTaste yep, i play this song just like mayer!!

  • @themunoshful

    Nice xD,

    How did you managed to do that ? :P

  • @SaladTaste Have you heard it when he plays only guitar on his live album Where the Light Is Live in L.A.?

  • flipping awsome, 5*****

  • you guys are fuckin hating on her when she has more talent than you ever will. She can play however she wants, and she has the voice to back it up

  • If I were you I would spend less time making faces to the camera and use it to learn how to play a guitar.

  • Heh, the smile you show at 1:47 :) you know your good! Love it

  • If you cant do the opening riffs just try playing the chords he does in the tuning he uses.... E B E F# B E it sounds amazing

  • wow like this version soooooo much

    and you are very beautiful

    keep on

  • You are very good and very beaufiul!!

  • i like this song!!! and you are really good.!

  • love this song. and you're good.

  • i didnt realise there were so many awesome musicians around here posting their alternate 'better' versions before they go running their mouth. How nice to see someone out there not doing the typical 'American Idol' style of just sitting on a stool and singing (or playing some backup CD and singing over the top). A real musician and a beautiful cover. Thumbs up Ana =)

  • @annaagenevieve I agree completely, she is better than x Factor or American idol etc etc...

  • @annaagenevieve i dont know, to me this young lady has taken a song that's worth is basically determined by the fact that it has a very interesting guitar riff and turned it into an "american idol" friendly version with a very mediocre strumming pattern. i mean its good, dont get me wrong, her voice is nice and its easy on the ears, but like, who cares really? plenty of people can do what she's doing. its not that interesting. the original was. musicianship is more than karaoke.

  • @annaagenevieve

    Just signing (American Idol) < Singing + feigning instrumental competence (this) < Playing the damn thing right without singing < Singing AND playing it right and well < add twenty levels here < John Mayer

  • please hire a guitarist to play this song for you, your guitar ruined it. But great voice!

  • @2204remco I agree, the original riff is much better and not so hard to play.

    But great cover anyway ^^

  • you're awesome. but you should get a really great guitarist to play with you.. but great singing.

  • @FilipGronroos its one of the trickiest tracks to play well!

  • Comment removed

  • you're so creepy...

    and kinda pretty

    your voice has great tone

  • wouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­. beautiful voice¿where are you from?

  • beautiful voice! I enjoyed it!!

  • it was eh. you'll never get famous, but it could have been worse I guess

  • @rhoffer234 She is famous

  • amazing

  • Sounds like 3am By Rob Thomas

  • Good voice!!!

  • wandeful voice girl..... nice nice nice!

  • A little bit a Alanis Morissette voice! Very nice.

  • YOU SING THE CHORUS SO AWESOME!!! YOU GO BBG!!!!

  • I have to agree with some of the aforesaid comments. Your voice is beautiful. If you want the guitar, a very powerful instrument, to be a part of your voice you need to master the instrument. This is a very well written song, which includes many imperative hammer ons, harmonics, and a beautiful tuning for specific chords. Singing well is one thing, to stand out, to play and sing making one voice is another.

  • I really hope more people could listen to your voice and your music. You're incredibly talented

  • This is one of my favourite John Mayer songs and I think you did a really good job of covering it :)

  • amazing! best i've heard from a girl so far ;)

  • scrub

  • fedt fedt

  • Will you marry me? ;)

  • *Voice quality: On up there - very nice.

    *Guitar part: Accurate enough chords played in standard tuning, but needs much better right-hand technique and dynamic, and ideally of course needs to be played per Mayer's beautiful non-standard tuning. The labored strumming here hurts this performance.

    *Interpretation: Nothing to get excited about - but then the majority of Mayer's own renditions of this tune aren't either. The Live LA rendition is a masterpiece, though - he'll never top that.

  • Loving the voice. The guitar not so much, but you did enough to make it your own.

  • Love it!

  • Just one word: AMAZING!

  • Just wanna say this is my favourite cover of this song on youtube. you are really good and you have an amazing voice. as a guitar player, I like this version of playing it too. its like a campfire version

  • love it!

  • Yeah, please add the REAL guitar part. Your voice is great and sing it right, but you'll never come close to the true soul of the song as long as don't play the guitar part right. It's as much a part of the song as the singing.

    Otherwise, nicely sung!

  • really good singing, but i think you miss out some of the song without the proper guitar. please try and learn it! its not too hard!!!

  • VERY NiCE!!!!!nice voice!

  • Great job you mesmorize me. . . super awsome voice Bravo!!!

  • I typically love your voice and this song, however your voice sounds synthesized to hell and back in this song. just sayin'.

  • @halexi1111 . . . get lost this sounds great, listen to kanye then you hear synth

  • Brilliant cover, great voice! What are the chords you're playing during the chorus, I can't quite tell?

  • Niceeeee!

  • It's not boring, it's fantastic, i love it.

  • WOW! Your voice sounds so pure.

  • I prefer ana's version to john mayers.

  • Great place to put your picks!! And great performance too :)

  • You have msn?

    You are very good and I would like to know... I would like to show some of my songs!

  • lol.. definitely my favourite song by mayer as well... i can tell you she sings great but she's playing it wrong on guitar.. even tho shes playing it wrong on guitar, she's interpreted her own version of it.. its not that bad..

  • It's a cover. Covers don't have to follow the studio version to a T. People can put their own spin on a song.

  • stupid hater

  • Love your music! wats your facebook? I saw u in Miami Beach a couple weeks ago!!!!

  • im portuguese...and i love your voice.....pessoal tuga é o melhor!!!!!

  • omg it's my fav song by JM. you did a wonderful job!

  • really nice voice,, really goed cover, and you made it a little bit your own version cause you didnt play te same guitar riffs john mayer does..

  • Ana Free concert tonight in Miami, at the Raleigh Hotel. Free admittance..

  • Everytime I fail at writing/learning a song I watch you..then I pick my guitar back up..you keep dreamers dreaming, I've never met you and you inspire me more than everything that surrounds me. ..thats where your success comes from..

  • You should do a song withJohn Mayer...dont know what he's being shy about ..LOL!! Go on John !

  • You Have An Amazing Voice!

  • This is a little too easy... Playing G and C9 during the verse. Lipstick, a cute face, and an expensive guitar.

    And yes - I am only jealous because you got 22,000 views in two weeks and it took me 1½ year to reach 70,000 on the same cover. And I'm jealous of you guitar!

    JK! You're amazing! You have fantastic singing skills! Keep it up ;-)

  • Jealousy it is a nasty sentiment to have.

    Ana it is not only covers, she is more besides that.

    I think you should pray your talent and let others alone.

    You have your talent too, there are dozens around here.

  • @MrBlackBalloon I watched your cover a lot to perfect mine. Anna free has got nothing on you, except being a hot girl

  • A friend on facebook told me about you.....and you are truly amazing
