I absolutely love this song and I thought that Snow Patrol were the only ones that could perform this song effortlessly.
I'm not saying you did as good of a job as they did, but considering this is an EXTREMELY tough song to do well, I'd say you did a phenomenal job- 10/10!
Awesome... ningun cover de esta cancion me ha gustado siento que es dema buena para igualarla . pero la tuya esta definitivamente muy bien realizada..good job!!!XDD
Aaah I love that song and u jus did it so well. Omg and ur guitar pickin is so great í´ve started playin last christmas and i admire every person who´s that great at it :)
Isnt this the point, Leona didnt know what she was doing Gary makes Leona looks like a stupid bitch. Leona needs a new day job if the best she can do is remake a great song like this. This version is the most natural to the original. That is what you need to look at when you judge a cover. Leona has a powerful voice. Which is way to powerful. She be better flipping burgers and singing in the shower to this song.
There is nothing worse than someone who thinks they are something special when they are obviously not! The name Darius springs to mind. Now if you don't think that is a fair statement then don't act like a prick on other peoples videos.
hey, i agree with flihaus. you have a good voice, and i like you but dont go around on here chirping and saying that your better than leona. if you want people to listen to your music then ask them to check you out, but dont put down one of the greatest singers of the present. thats not cool
Fuck all those bad comments about trying to sing like other peeps and all. I think ur fantastic!!!! I listen to, like, TONS of diff genres and all, so I know. Also, I think that u should continue this and maybe write ur own songs! It could be mega cool if u think about it... K? Great job!
You have wery good voice but I dont like the way you write in orhers videos and praise yourself... I think thats stupid. You have good voice but u cant say that you're better than Leona Lewis :(
hey i dont realy think that im better than leona. Technically she is an absolutely amazing singer. 90% of me writes that stuff to attract attention but 10% of me genuinely doesnt like that style of singing. But each to their own...and dont worry me writing comments on her youtube site isnt gonna effect her sales.
WOW quite honestly amazing, I have to say. I liked how you really make it sounds chilled out and kind of laid back. I liked it a lot, keep it up. Well done.
i like this song but i find it very hard to belive your playing the guitar and singing it looks as tho your miming and pretending to strum? if you are really playing and singing your Brilliant and i apologise :)
hey, the audio is fed from a mike into a multi tracker and the video is recorded into my camcorder. My performance is genuinely live. On my videos the lead parts and other instruments are overdubs. The final parts are then all resynced into Adobe Premier. Sometimes this can be marginally out of sync and hence u guys seem to doubt me...but thats cool
wow i just looked at your page and your an alice in chains fan. Im sure you have but if you havent yet, check out the MTV unplugged set they did. Absolutely beautiful. Also ive been revisiting the grunge era music a lot lately AIC, Pearl Jam, STP all amazing bands with timeless music.
How Did You Get So Many Comments AnD Views iN One Day, Great Singing And Great Song But The Video Quality Was'nt That Good :-( BuT Excellent And 5 Star Rating *****
wow...it's just wow wow wow...very nice song..unbelieavable...brings back me to see the stars and the sky at night in which I can find a hope again after the frustration and desperation. Really touching song...But credit I have to give to Leona cos I heard noone can follow exactly her style of singing... Urs one is unbelieavable but there will be some persons that will follow exactly ur style of singing..really gentle voice of soft rock
hi i must say i was surprised your voice is quite good!!!please quit smoking i am a singer myself and when i gave up i opened up a new octave in my voic!!!breathing excercises are the way to go!tip:keep your feet about shoulder width apart dont riise your shoulders when you breathe and if it helps take 1 minute of breathing b4 u sing 30 secs shallow the rest deep..and push out air with diaphragm not lungs!!most importantly warm up b4 u sing!!! sing the scale of c a few times up and down it helps
Pleasant, very listenable. You smoke, eh? Try this - run up a steep hill, run FAST. Then don't smoke for 24 hours and try it again. If you're a heavy smoker you'll be amazed at the difference.
not bad but i see you left a comment on the video of leoan singing this live on x facotr and you said that your version was better tbh i think leona' version is better but then maybe that is becasue im more into her type of music but wow your version was great i loved it XD xx <3
Uhm, I do enjoy Leona's version because it's different. Yours is also different, but slightly. However it's good! Only thing is you appear to sing with a lot of tension, which isn't good at all. Your head moves forward and your face contorts, none of which are good. Try to focus on keeping it very simple... don't try too hard. But overall it's still good, you're just going to hurt yourself in the long run and you won't be able to produce nice music such as this. Cheers!
Yeah i guess i should learn how to sing properly using my stomach more. People tell me breathing exercises make it easier to reach higher notes more expressively. Maybe quitting smoking would improve it all greatly. The truth is I dont care if it goes one day, then it goes.
That comment was a bit harsh. The main thing I see is you need to memorize the lyrics & music. Then do a video & feed the camera your energy/force. By being free to put all your attention on the camera, you'll naturally forget about yourself & the tension will be sucked away by the camera!
It's a technique both very good actors & singers use. By focusing all your thoughts on a person in the audience or the camera (as a person), it doesn't give your mind a chance to self doubt your Confidence!
First off you should definitely quit smoking. But your voice has a very nice breathy tone. Reminds me of mine a little. I relate to needing to sing with the stomach more. You have much potential and you play a freaking instrument. Many can't do that. Your voice is very nice though. The person above is hatin lol
Hmm your cover is great but I still like nilslindrup cover the best. Keep on singing. :)

I love Leona's cover, I love Snow Patrol's original. I have Leona's CDs as well as Snow Patrol's. I'm not stuck to one music genre.
Your playing is nice, but your voice is really weak. You should quit smoking.
You need to find your own singing style too, because you sound like you're trying to sing exactly like Gary Lightbody.

You're brilliant. Nice guitar sounds and interesting deep tone of voice.
