  • You should sing some of the older stuff they did

  • dave mathews?? lol nice cov bro

  • Fantastic!

  • Dude! You look like Dave Matthews

  • Cant believe there are a few critics here?? I think this is excellent. Very soulfull.

    Others who attemp usually try and mimic Chris Martin which is a bit lame I think. Originality should be welcomed and celebrated. You have your own style and its damn good.

    Top marks mate. 5*

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful playing and singing. I absolutely loved it played this way. So much feeling put into it. Please don't stop playing or singing!! I enjoyed it so very much. :)

  • your voice is good but you cant sing this song that way

  • I have no clue why this video is rated so low, this is one of the most original covers of this song on youtube.

  • Love it! You have a BEAUTIFUL voice! :) keep singing and playing !:)

  • nice voice he has!

  • indeed if he didn't put "cover" people will get confused if they found this vid instead of coldplay

  • Great cover!

  • NICEE!! ^^

  • Hey great job, I love the piano! Awesome voice.

    If you're reading this, you should check out my cover Lost by Coldplay on my page!

  • cool... is it just me eyes, but ya look like coldplay's vocalist with shorter hair :)

  • this is not a cover!! but it is good!! it has a little jazzy feeling to it!!

  • Its called a cover for a reason. He's doing HIS version, not a copy of the original. I like what he did with it.

  • well I thought it was great :] keep up the good work

  • Great voice, but piano sucks, and your voice doesn't fit at Viva la vida.

  • -.- grow some ears p boy

  • this is the best cover i have hear. viva la vida is my favorite song haha...and the piano is my favorite instrument. i don't understand why everybody on this page is saying this man's piano sucks...it's so soulful!

  • I don't like the style of the singing... but as a musician, and wannabe singer, I respect the quality of your voice.

    Keep up the good work.

  • Pouah ! the voice is quite good, but the piano cover is very very poor, bad .2*

  • well done...nice to see other people loving this song as much as i do...

  • roland fantom? :D you can really play some hard trance with those workstations :D

  • I like what you did to it. And don't listen to people who say you didn't do a good job, they're just jealous...

  • Thanks for all of your supportive comments, I appreciate your encouragement! If you like what you hear, I have lots of original music available so please check me out on Facebook, Myspace and iTunes!

    Cheers,

    Gregory Douglass

  • I think this is the greatest cover of this song so far, great job and keep it up.

  • Your voice is great, but what you're doing on the piano is horrible. It doesn't fit with the rest.

  • you singing is excellent

    your playing is bearable

    your dancing is horrible

  • this version is more soulful 2 be, and darker

  • i actually like this version better than the original, and i love coldplay

  • awesome show. great job! adding to my favs

  • very nice indeed !

  • NIce !

  • does he have to be macho??

  • If you actually knew anything about Gregory Douglass, you might want to reconsider that comment. Plus, do his movements truly matter? He's got one of the best voices out there.

  • great job!

  • You should invest a few bucks and

    buy a decent mic.

    Would be worth it!

    The one i used only cost a 100 Euros...

    and it works well.

    You know how to move the air.

    Though you don't sound anything like it,

    somehow i thought of Billy Corgan when singing...dunno =)

  • Not bad dude. I can sing it but I think you might be better than me. Plus you are a musician.

  • if i may be frank dam good job love it keep it up..

  • If I may be frank, I don't like your style of singing, but I can remain objective enough to realize that you are a great singer and piano player. Keep up the good work, and slap anyone who tells you to stop singing.

  • i totally agree with u... strange singing style... but very good anyway...

  • u look like will champion

  • Chris Martin better watch out. :)

  • good stuff man... keep it up

  • omg this voice is prefect for this song!!!!!

  • AMAZING!!!

  • I really like this cover. You're voice is spectacular. :3

  • Your cover is nice!How long did you spend the time to cover this?I really like it.

  • Is that really necessary? Unless you have something intelligent and relevant to say, don't say anything at all

  • This was supposed to be a reply to Deezer00's comment, but it didn't show up that way, just to clarify. Gregory, your voice is amazing as always.

  • He could do better that what u could do.

    So stfu.

  • This super unladylike for me but you are an idiot and are jealous of his awesome talent.

  • I meant my comment for Deezer00 who is realy is a zero!

  • OMG MISTERR!! YOUU ARE GOOODDD!!! EXCELLENT! EXTRAORDINARYYYY!! the way you sang. very heart warming and the piano playing just compliments it PERFECTLY! GOO MISTTERRR!!

  • I liked this cover, you have a really nice, smooth voice, and it looks like you're pretty great on the piano too!

  • I like it. No les hagas caso.. ;) You have a great voice and you play the piano lovely! I wish I can play it like that.. teach me that song!

    All the best from Peru.

  • I really like your voice, but I think that the song doesn't suit you very well. =]

  • good voice but these song is not for you!

  • this is really effin good!! but im better.. lol

  • Nice cover! I ilke your voice!

  • Once people realise that the point of making a cover is NOT to sound exactly like the original, I'll be happy. Anyway, you have a great voice, you should definitely make songs of your own, if you haven't already!

  • i like your voice, its very nice :) and nice cover

  • brilliant , some people on youtube really need to start listening properly if they think your voice is bad. Keep it up!

  • i see many negative comments of people who are a) not musical b) have a narrow taste in music. but i say musician: very good. like your voice

  • Wow, you are a really, really, really good singer! You even kind of added a twist to this song, you sang it a tad slower. =D Please keep posting videos, I would love to listen to them! You rock!

    Best wishes.

    -Lexi

  • amazing!

  • umm well from my point of view i loved your voice but i dont think that it suits the song because ures is more jazzy voice so maybe try other songs but good job.

  • Please do some jazz :)

  • speeeeechless.

  • This is my favorite song and you do it great justice!!!! If you ever tour England, I AM YOUR GROUPIE. No, I don't live in England, but I love you and England! LOL...you seriously are gonna make it HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    キーボードでviva la vidaはまた渋くていいですね。

  • very nice. you made that song your own. not like copying most people who just copy the song word and note and tune for tune.

  • one word:

    Amazing.

  • Very very good. Great voice! And i´m in love with the song! so so good

  • Guys I hope you know how hard it is to play a song and sing at the same time while keeping the beat constant through out the song. He'd do better than most of you could ever do in your life. He's doing good.

  • nicely done

  • very nice voice <33

  • nice voice and you really got into it XD good job

  • Same here man. I just went off on people doing the opposite, and then all of a sudden I find your little nugget of awesomeness.

  • Love this remix.

  • It's beautiful, amazing voice :)

  • its good u made it very original! :]

  • Nice variation. What covers should be.

  • very good!

  • hey dude love your shirt!

  • as good as the coldplay version imo, you're very talented man,like you dont kill the song when you add the emotion like a lot of people do.

  • i woud by a cd of you im from german i can not god englisch but yur ar the best that i aver seen ;-)

  • It sounded great when I only listened to you and didn't watch you being all over the place...

  • Great stuff

  • wow that was great :)

  • dude you look like a skinny version of that fat dude on my name is earl.....its fuckin crazy !

  • omg! so true :O

  • good song,,, however i still prefer the guitar version more,, but you still did a good job,,,

    well done

  • So bizarre.. first time I heard that song I thought you'd sound better singing it.

    Hug

  • very good cover!!

  • nice voice

  • Very nice Greg! I really enjoyed this video!

    Keep that nice voice going!

  • you sound like John Legend

  • Your rendition is tiiite

  • You have a really unique voice! (in a good way!) It's amazing!

  • This is awesome, and it is great you don't do it the way it sung, but your own style, that shows so much talent and creativity. Emphasis on talent!

  • this is really cool! i like it!

    keep it up!

  • Just great, Thank you!

  • It's different. I love it.

  • I love how you live through the song. I think you are beyond critiquing as far as technical aspects. Your singing and playing are top notch. But, the best part was how well you sold the song.

    ( Disregard any negative comments. I know what I am talking about. Seriously)

  • lool sometimes strange face when U sing, but man AWESOME voice, congratulation honestly it's very good

  • You DO have a great voice!

  • Gregory, you have a great voice, amazing cover! Love the song

  • I think without the guitar the song does not sound as good but ur piano type version is really good and u have a great voice

  • this song is sad, this version makes it sadder, nonetheless great job

  • you rock! this is a nice version of it! =] dont listen to haters

  • a mix between the lead singer on the fray but with adam levine "drag" in it

  • great job amazing vocals keep it up!

  • great voice dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is definitely a great cover, you made it your own in the way you sang it. Really impressive.

  • Ha you're fun to watch dude. Don't lose those expressions it makes you unique. It's flamboyant in a Freddy Mercury way. If you didn't back it up with talent it would be too much, but you're obviously very talented and you put a lot of feeling into the music which is the most important thing. Great stuff. Don't listen to anyone who says otherwise cause my opinion is the only one that counts.

  • i love this song

  • it was really good but it was a little slow doncha think?? But its still awesome!

  • love it.. you sound awesome gregory!

  • solid voice dude .. were you taught? good tone and vibrato

  • it was really good...but a lot different

  • lol @ ur expressions but nice version tho

  • You bring this song really soully! Your own way of bringing it. I tried to cover this song as well (see profile). Maybe this version is not the real Coldplay feeling, but man... when you cover a John Legend cover, I'm quite sure people will think you ARE him. Honestly a BEAUtiful voice.

  • Awesome!! Awesome!!

  • AWESOME, i wish udve done the O O O Oss =)

    but its amazing

  • i think you have a great voice but you need to control it a bit better when it comes to transitioning from one word to another at the end of each line.Nice Job tho

  • you hav a beauiful and soulful voice with increible emotion. you nailed it

  • i liked it, love the way you performed it as well

  • imagine a huge mirror above the keyboard, just out of shot.....

  • DAMN U SOUND GOOD :)

  • fantastic

  • nice job dude

  • holy crap this guy sounds like andy davis.....you tube him he's amazing......great singing does anyone think he sounds like andy?

  • :) you sing good! :) &hearts;ed the whole thing

  • love the shirt

  • to all you "critics" this video isn't here for your critique; someone posted it because they thought that some might enjoy it, they weren't looking for people to criticize them so lay off, especially if you can't come even close. if you don't enjoy it, don't watch it, and don't possibly ruin someone's day by telling them they suck.

    gosh. what has humanity become with technology?

  • seeing the fingers a bit more would've been better but a verynice job otherwise :]
