[icyunvmi637]

omg omg i have been looking for just the right rendition of this song and in the process have come across beyonce, whitney houston, swv along w others and not once completed a song b/c i just didn't "feel" it. but you blew me away you sang it just right so...i'm listening to it again. TEAR...so many childhood memories. i have no clue who my grandparents used to play but i'm sure it was a legend but you've just ended my search for that person.thanx i love it in case you didn't get the hint...lol

[hEhAtEemEe]

cut the first minute and ur golden

[maxxmg]

Yeah I see what you mean. I was trying to add a personal touch but maybe a bit much

[bvelleman]

Hi,

I think you have a great voice and I really like your pianoplaying as well. Fantastic! Beautifull version of this song (5 stars;-)

But I would cut out the "bottle of water" act since you might loose some viewers in the beginning who don't have the patience to wait for you to start playing....And that would be a real shame.

[maxxmg]

You have a very good point. I will always try to get to the point from now on.  Thank you for your comments

[Smilesillywilly]

Thank you for posting this!! Im doing a solo in a school concert.. first ever one and iv been looking for a version in this song the same speed im playing my clarinet and you did awesome!

P.S Wheres my water?! xD

[maxxmg]

I realize your concert was almost a year ago but I hope it went well.

[tnrih]

you should have a group surround you and applaud that was beautiful i need another box of tissues

[maxxmg]

Now that is very sweet. That means so much.

[soulessrobin]
