[ronicdotlove]

Holy fuck.



[unkn0wnr0ckstar]

speechless. so beautiful and amazing

[fochman1234]

they need to have a kid together so i can worship it

[CableMayo]

big sean 'hometown' lol <3

[startobe1992]

His voice...

my life was just improved for having found this video :)

[torrid625]

yeah, a duet would be orgasmiccc

[GrandGuru1]

qsghhksdjfghl

Sorry I forgot to breath and fell unconcious onto my keyboard.

[TheCrederer]

The guy didn't sell out. If anything continuing with alexisonfire when you are not happy there would be selling out.

[lambolawrence1]

Dude not cool...coughing while he's singing is not cool at all

[amburgar8]

that was breath taking!!!! was not expecting that xxx

[TeddyPerv]

My ears are crying with happiness.

[scruffygangsta]

very good but 2 say its better then adele they deserve a slap at around 110 miles per hour to the right side of the cheeks :)

[clasede09]

such a powerful voice

[SilverFlame819]

This video needs a "LOVE" button.

[NowUpFuckTheShut]

HOW CAN YOU COUGH WHEN HE'S SINGING DUDE

[ronicdotlove]

@NowUpFuckTheShut Hahaha I laughed at the comment but laughed even harder after when I actually heard the cough

[gravesande14]

so head over heals in loveeeeeee with him doing this. omg. im speacheless.

[lemmex13]

this makes me sad cause i want to see him live

[TheAlecore]

dallas = alexisonfire broke up = he is still one of my favorite singers , but i hate him

[plakkert]

@TheAlecore You hate him because he chose not to have a nervous breakdown by being in 2 successful acts at the same time? He just couldn't handle being in both Alexisonfire and City & Colour anymore. Writing and touring back to back is very hard on the body and mind.

[TheAlecore]

@plakkert i know it , im not comparable to dallas but i study architecture and play drums in 2 bands and guitar in other 2 bands , i know its not hard , its IMPOSSIBLE to do . By the way , if i were Dallas , i just would chose alexisonfire . A family its a family , im sure that ill never leave my band for a solo project. Sorry for my english , im italian i cant speak very well =)

[plakkert]

@TheAlecore I have no idea which decision I would make. Though, I can imagine Alexisonfire inevitably breaking up anyway, because that type of music just grows out of you after some time. This folky music he writes with C&C however, is much more lasting. He could still write this in his seventies, and I do so hope he does.

[TheAlecore]

@plakkert Im sure i would chose alexisonfire , 'cause if people play togheter for 10 years , i think they will be a family (like Rolling Stones).....i say only 1 thing : make money money make money money , this is my opinion.

[plakkert]

@TheAlecore so you're saying Dallas is a sellout?

[TheAlecore]

@plakkert no , im saying that work whitout people around you it's a good way for make more money than broke your back in post.hardcore tours. He is not a sellout , he just live making music that he likes.

[plakkert]

@TheAlecore Even changing genres will improve your money situation, I bet. There's just not THAT much money in post hardcore. Sadly for them.

[TheAlecore]

@plakkert right , that is what i wanted to say xD but , for me is band>money , i would chose my band

[Greggyford1]

2:07 - Guy farts and tries to cover it up by coughing.

[tigersuity]

you are a wonderful person for recording this!!! thank you!!

[TheMG1MG2]

who else can cover an Adele song and people say its better than her version, he's a once in a generation musician

[TheMG1MG2]

he's so amazing

[Princeofspadesshirts]

amazing. Seeing him in Montreal Feb.17th - so excited!!

[jjuliabitaa]

Dallas and Adele need to do a duet to this or something. Both their voices together would be phenomenal.

[chanelluver18]

I can't believe I get to be in this beautiful, wonderful man's presence in 2 weeks! <3

[Lisa07050]

how could you not like this`?? damn

[zkhyde09]

whoever disliked this video has adam lambert floormats in their car.

[ethiolove45]

In love

[onthenextone]

i love this

[XawwyaaX]

i want an entire track of just 2:44 - 3:00

how is his voice so amazing :')

[MusicIvyRose]

This is so immensely beautiful.

[doodyman911]

damn i feelso pathetic and lonely when i hear this....so why cant i stop listening

[jeshodgins]

Dallas singing an Adele song is honestly a dream come true. -3

[hawxrox09]

Adele is amazing, and I'm not saying whether she is more or less talented, but this single version is better than her original and it's not really close. Watch her sing it live, then watch this..

[Akoo77]

Adele and Dallas Green aer equally great and pretty similar in the types of songs they write, they should just go back and fourth covering each others songs.

[plakkert]

@Akoo77 How are they similar? Dallas writes folky stuff, whereas Adele writes pop songs.

[steppedat]

''I think this is better than the original'' NO.

[DavyJones1324]

<3

[xXAlienangelXx]

i love adele and dallasxD how perfectxD

[MultiJjJc]

Never knew adele had a sex change?

[SuperrStoked]

@MultiJjJc kewl dude.

[hurleydare]

@AvaLaurenRawbone not on the internet you can't!

[x3nico1ed]

makes me shiver. <3 his voice truly. so beautiful.

[danielbovolento]

He's just amazing.

[mttgrn]

How could anyone dislike this? ._.

[lauriebibop]

Someone like you video cover (par Laurie.B)

[Murray2511]

wow

[ThatSillyMosher]

THEY NEED TO DO A DUET NOW

[ThePianoguy89]

He has a beautiful voice and it's powerful too!

[emidiz]

Its not easy to cover an adele-song, since she has a strong, beautiful voice. Dallas is sometimes singing quiet calm and low, but here he really shows that he has, in my opinon, one of the best voices around.

[xavier57901]

I think he should do a cover of radiohead reckoner, such a talented musician

[rkayzee]

To everyone arguing about whether Dallas is more talented than Adele:

If Dallas wasn't married, he'd be having babies with Adele <3 In that case, I can't decide who I'd envy more--Dallas for being with Adele, or Adele for being with Dallas.

[lauriebibop]

Someone like you video cover (par Laurie.B)

[Mardyfella]

Don't forget: Adele wrote this when she was 16. Now, that's skills.

[IxUNTOUCHBLExI]

I hate how people are comparing Dallas Green to God. Hes all cool and everything but hes no Dallas green.

[brett42ya]

@IxUNTOUCHBLExI hahaha love it

[AutumnJackalsMusic]

@IxUNTOUCHBLExI Iv heard them comparing him to jesus, He may have been able to walk on water, But thats nothing compared to Dallas Green's musical skills

[HelloImTNA]

@AutumnJackalsMusic alexisonfire is dead.

[TylerSeguinMusic]

Holy. Fuck. <3

[EliteSeraphim]

Does anyone know what tuning and chords he's playing? Please message me, thanks!!!!!

[DeirdreW26]

omg adele and dallas green would make the best artistic children

[bobbybellsupreme]

better than the original? hardly. just because it's a dude with an acoustic you forget how adele's vocals basically had sex with our ears on the original and how the piano just lays the perfect goosebump inducing foundation for her to do that. this cover is good but it has nothing of what the original had. stop going gaga over every deuche with a coostic.

[9inety5ive]

@bobbybellsupreme I don't think they should be compared. It's such a trivial thing to argue about. Dallas has an unbelievable voice and isn't just some douche who plays an acoustic, he is an amazing singer/song writer and a great guitarist. Adele has a great voice and when she sings this it's great but personally i like acoustic songs and Dallas has such a great voice.

[bobbybellsupreme]

@9inety5ive fuck that. it's not trivial. of course you like acoustic guitar music. for some reason people are genetically predisposed to like it. the guitar has single-handedly taken over popular music decades ago and has retained it's dominance since then. It's nice let other instrumentalists shine once in a while. and yeah if he would have done some more complex fingerpicking i'd be more satisfied, but if i wanna get down to acoustic, i'm putting in some mayer. cuz he rapes all competition.

[Bkesal14]

@bobbybellsupreme That would be true for most "Douches with a coostic" except Dallas Green is at least as good as Adele vocally !

[bobbybellsupreme]

@Bkesal14 LOL nah bruh.

[Bkesal14]

@bobbybellsupreme Come on play fair, Dallas' voice is exceptional, this video doesn't show off his voice that much, also don't get the impression that I'm saying adele isn't an amazing singer, she is I think her and Dallas are both insanely talented

[bobbybellsupreme]

@Bkesal14 i'll agree with you there. but adele's got the goods that enable her to just have fun with her vocal tracks. she can belt notes out with nice vibrato, and does all that fluttery shit with her singing...adele is hot right now i'm sorry. dallas is undoubtedly a powerful singer and ok guitar player. i just happen to think adele is near PERFECTION.

[archipelligo]

@bobbybellsupreme calling dallas an ok guitar pretty much proves the rest of your points are invalid as if you'd followed him at all you'd know he's a fantastic guitar player.

[bobbybellsupreme]

@archipelligo i'll tell you right now i didn't follow him. what i said was simply based on this performance. and honestly, it turns me off from the idea of checking out his other stuff. his guitar playing on this song is good but still very basic. nothing to go too crazy over...and to call it "godlike" is insane. this is my opinion...so all points involved are as valid as the next D-bag's.

[archipelligo]

@bobbybellsupreme godlike is hyperbole its not insanity its just exaggeration. taking it literally is a bit silly, and thus calling it insane is unjust. If you would care to check out the rest of his guitar playing, you would have used a more complimentary word than ok. thats all i was saying.

[vniguam]

@bobbybellsupreme - what are u on about... this is one of the best renditions of this song... and u want him to place complicated guitars into this song? the song is beautiful for its simplicity... people should just stop complaining :P argh... nothing is good enough on the internet damn...

[bobbybellsupreme]

@vniguam ya damn right about that. but anyway i'm tired of being dragged back to this damn thread. you guys are right i was wrong. please stop hatin on a ninja's opinion.

[sentinel9100]

@bobbybellsupreme its good because its beautiful, their is a saying in when making music its called kiss keep it simple stupid. its so you don't over think what your writing and keep it as clean sounding as possible. if you want to listen to crazy guitar work city and color is not the place he is more for people who want beauty in a simplistic form not people looking for crazy phyrigian leads and runs like malmsteen.

[brett42ya]

@bobbybellsupreme for you to say he is not an amazing guitar player is blasphemy and you should listen to his actual music before you make any false comments like that

[bobbybellsupreme]

@brett42ya well i've listened to his other songs and i disagree. fuck! he's good. i like his style. folky and mello. what's not to like? i don't fancy him as a guitar god or a better musician than adele, but you shmucks seem hellbent on convincing me otherwise. let me have my opinions.

[mttgrn]

@bobbybellsupreme You know city and colour wasn't his only 'act' right?

[shakeyjake1992]

@bobbybellsupreme listen to alexisonfire (the band he's guitarist in) then you'll know how much better he is musically than adele

[shermottdermott]

@bobbybellsupreme he is obviously better then adele

[bobbybellsupreme]

@shermottdermott you're obviously tarded

[bobbybellsupreme]

@9inety5ive i guess i can spare dallas a bit more credit since it's live...and he IS a good singer. i'm just heated about people saying he's better than adele when her voice is nothing short of angelic

[9inety5ive]

@bobbybellsupreme Don't get pissed off about it. Just enjoy which ever one you like or even better enjoy both because caring about what other people think is pointless and will get you know were. Acoustic music isn't very generic in contrast to the charts which is full of disposable music.

[AndyCrutch]

@bobbybellsupreme did you just call dallas green a douche with an acoustic? how very rude. ^_^

[AbolitionistTBK]

In no way, shape, or form is this better than the original, however, he does this song very well. I believe Ms. Adele would feel honored with his variation of her song. Good job DG....now come to Southeastern NC and do a gig.

[SamF666]

he should record this as a single. fuck royalties, Adele would pay him :L

[linkgcuk]

best night ever. he did say he wished he wrote this song. and james vincent mcmorrow's 'if I had a boat'..best support act ever!!

[sayitspossiible]

Dallas Glory <3

[flygon1509]

This is good but I find it strange that many of you enjoy this but bash Adele. Her voice is really exceptional.

[Mardyfella]

@flygon1509 Yup.

[everythingisoverrate]

I want a tab of this!!!

[dubstepwoob333]

JESUS WOW!!!!

[jess8323]

badass!!

[NJA1991]

i like it. i like it aloooooot

[alossforbears]

Dallas Green is my hero.

[g1ng3r1]

DO THEY NOT KNOW? SHUT THE FUCK UP YOUR IN THE PRESENCE OF A GOD! DONT INTERRUPT HIS SONG TO CHEER WAIT FOR THE END!

[SolSkill]

This makes Adele sound like a jet engine. Just saying.

[genethedash]

@SolSkill i disagree. i think both are brilliant.

[tavimitba]

Seriously,i thought no one could top adele´s version of this song... but damn,this touched me really deep. Her voice is more powerful,but i actually think his voice suits better this song.

[aaronc391]

@tavimitba haha well Dallas can actually sing stronger but he doesn't haha, but yeah this is good song for him.

[elnazdinmamma]

Even though this cover is really, really good, no one can beat the original. Adele has a certain deep sorrow to her voice through the whole song, her voice is just almost breaking several times, and no one can copy that :)

[xanablephobiax]

I´ve heard adele make a cover of this song 

[loveisprecious]

dallas does this with such grace!

[ThePandakid16]

i can do it

[iamreeem]

so much more beautiful than the origional, i remember watching this with only a thousand views <3 damn

[JuCyProductions]

wow :) I've done that wonderful song, too. Look at my channel :)

[Theodoman]

@WootItsaBoot yes they are but i personally think Dallas sings this better.

[Theodoman]

Dallas makes Adele sound like she can't sing.

[duds18289]

this show was spine tingling, like fuckin' electric start to finish. unforgettable night. <3

[boicrusader]

what are the chords?

[21drewmac]

much better then original!

[seniorarubia]

feeling good. :))

[billybigmouth]

i saw him recently, and rather disappointed he didnt do this cover.. still a great show.

[ibanezRG93]

dallas green takes everything that is beautiful in the world puts it in his heart and then explodes ever show

[OlorinMs]

I don't think it's better than the original ! I think it's the best cover of Hometown glory ! But the original is Awesome ! Adele's voice is Great !

[oioichoi18]

no where near as good as the original totally killed it

[Lnortonantivirus]

Wow, i saw this vid on like 20 views...Wanting to watch again bloody 133k...Still deserves more

[kingorocknroll69]

Dallas should enter in Perez Hilton's "Someone Like You" cover contest

[dubm0]

@kingorocknroll69 If Dallas covered "Someone Like You", there wouldn't be a contest anymore. :P

[Recovrd1]

After tomorrow night, my life will be complete. Seeing him live at the House of Blues in New Orleans.

[plakkert]

I can't stand Adele, but this version is incredible. Once again, Dallas, well done.

[hannaissacarre]

How can you dislike this?!

[6sullen6]

Dallas & Adele together on the same stage would be so amazing.

[BCormi01]

OMG LOOOOVE IT! I've seen him live three times now and each time I get chills! Its fascinating to watch him play! AMAZING!!! Concert #4 this coming Feb!!! CANT WAIT! :D

[bemoreawesome1512]

it's so frickin cold in my house, yet this cover is still giving me chills...

[Dommcallister]

his control is mind blowing!

[jordanrakei]

Man that Reverb is so nice! Perfect reverb!

[LongLiveJowens]

**nipples hard**

[xmellymox]

When his voice goes high... just OMG!

Utter genius.

[Mylena82]

Omg this was definitely one of the best covers ever! The voice is amazing! And loved the guitar ! -3

[joooleeuhn]

Dallas sings this song WAAAYYYYYY better than Adele. anyone who thinks she has more soul than him MUST be deaf. this performance and his voice and his emotion put me in absolute awe. and Adele's version just bores me to death...

[giraffewaffles]

@joooleeuhn

Dallas deffffinitely has more soul than Adele. I love her, but this man is amazing. In everything he does.

[haribotangfastics95]

If you rearrange "Dallas Green", it spells "God."

[TylerTheCreator69ful]

@haribotangfastics95 It's funny how it doesn't, but it's ok because it does. <3

[ryanallennhs]

I need to sell my car to pay for the underwear i'm going through watching this.

[b1ub0x]

Why is this not on my iPod yet?!!?!

[RustedTinMan]

Adele is good. Dallas is God.

[himynmeisoliverx]

how about they play togetherrrrrrr <3

[mondopwns]

who dared to cough at 2:06?!?! how very, very dare they...

[Freakazojd]

Lovely voice, great guitar work...but unlike many here I still prefer the original. This guy (while AWESOME) didn't have the same level of emotional depth that Adele has in her performance of it & I got a bit distracted by how hard he was trying to be earnest (or was working for sound production...can't decide which). Everyone's a bold critic on here, right? ;) Overall I really enjoyed this performance. I haven't heard of him before but I'll definitely check him out. Thanks for sharing!!

[Mardyfella]

@Freakazojd My feelings exactly.

[talitacdeoliveira]

@Freakazojd his level of emotional is more high than her! in MY opinion! listen the others music! dallas is the best, ever! "day old hate" "casey's song" it's amazing!!

[djcanfield4]

theres something special when guys like dallas arent the big stars like Kesha. because then only the people who really matter notice him. would you want lil 13 year old girls goin to dallas shows screaming and just hahaha its best guys like him stay at the level they are....not saying their less or more talented because he is more talented then kesha or anyone but haha he is good at where he is =) playing for the right people

[AmyBeth0728]

So in love with this cover!

[dodongowhoever]

I would have Dallas Green's children...and I'm male.

[creativeroots1]

@dodongowhoever You sick person!!!

[lennonsdoll]

jesus christ.

[shufflelad]

this is fucking amazing.

[ParamoreCanBeLuv]

omg.. this made my body tingle.

[arosereese]

@ParamoreCanBeLuv me too. and ive heard it a million times

[EpicBaZ249]

2:43 such a beautiful sound !!!!!!!!!!!



[Othras]

thanks for recording this with a good audio recorder.

[MrTGMM]

Who thinks they should collaborate? two unreal talents
