  • Thank you. I'll go over and take a look :)

  • Is there anything you can not sing?  You sing so well :)

  • Lol. Thank you. Well I normally sing songs that I enjoy singing. That's a lot of different songs though :)

  • Beautiful - Love it!

    I agree with bishopaz - why not try If you could read my mind, the Gordon Lightfoot song. I think you would do a wonderfull job.

  • Thank you. Yes, that one has been mentioned a few times now. The problem is all the other requests I have. I will check that song out. I probably know it :)

  • There's another Neil Diamond song going up soon, but on someone else's channel. It's a duet with me :)

  • Just here listening again...This is one of my fav's...

  • Thank you very much :)

    The no comment speaks volumes :)

  • very nice.not over done. pleasant.hey,why not try if you could read my mind, the gordon lightfoot song. i think you would do a wonderfull job.

  • Thank you very much :)

    I have hundreds of requests, which I'm amazed at. The downside is I never get round to doing most of them because every time I upload a video I get about 10 requests. Lol :)

  • Hey, I usually really don't like the cover versions here on youtube, especially when they're karaoke, but you're doing a splendid job. I also like that slight ironic touch ... and the balloon ... yeah ... keep up the good work, man!

  • Thank you :)

    What is life if you can't have a little fun :)

    The whole youtube experience is fun for me :)

  • Nice job! You sound like Neil with a slight accent.

  • Thank you very much :)

  • ottimo! quasi uguale.. perche'?

  • Thank you :)

    My italian is not that great but I think I've worked out what you're saying :)

  • Really amazing, bravo!

  • Thank you very much :)

  • wow that was BEAUTIFUL!!!!

    I want to record this song where can I get the track for it?

  • BEAUTIFUL!!

  • Thanks again :)

  • very good, bravo

  • Thank you :)

  • Better than the original !

    Thanks for that lovely song !!!

  • Thank you very much :)

    That's high praise indeed.

    This is one of the Neil Diamond songs I really like, so it was a pleasure to do :)

  • Everybody knows about Karaoke nights, but have you tried to find any open mic nights?

    They are good for meeting other musicians and singers. You can start by going along a few times and watching. Then get to know the regular performers.

    The benefits of this are that you might be able to join in. Also, because they are performers, there's a good chance that they will know about other local musical people and events.

    Network with people. You'll be surprised how much is going on.

  • nice voice man ive been using the exersise tips u gave on ur vids ive got use them them but cant do the brrr it makes me laugh and ive sang a few times in front on friends and family but where i live theres nothing to try expand and start out have u got any tips on trying to expand in a small town called grimsby please help

  • If Argos are selling AKG Mics with their karaoke machines (because that's what I'm using), then I'll take a dozen please :)

  • what else did you get for xmas apart from an argos karaoke machine

  • neil has serious competition

  • Lol. Thank you :)

  • Althoug Jason didn't; Jeff could win American Idol with this song :P

    Good Job

  • High praise indeed. Thank you very much :)

  • amazing voice!!!! i really really like it!!!! first i heard this song in american idol sang by jayson and i search in youtube wow!!! its so beautiful!!!!

  • Thanks again :)

    I've done quite a few Neil Diamond songs on here :)

  • This is still my favorite. Jeff...you sing it better than Neil. Only my opinion. ~smiles~

  • Thank you :)

    Neil's on tour in the UK at the moment so he's all over the TV :)

  • How did you get that echoish sounds from the microphone? Is it the mic itself, the sound in the computer or just the speakers in your house? It sounds really good! I would like to try...

  • It's an effect called "Reverb". The sound card software has some effects that you can turn on and off. Well most of them do.

  • Oh, gosh. I couldn't click another link. I got stuck listening to this song! Haha. It is so nice! Good job ;-)

  • Neil's on tour over here at the moment, so it's a relevant song :)

    I'm glad you liked my rendition :)

  • I really love this...you sing it beautifully. Very handsome with a big goofball touch at the end and then almost a sigh of relief that you were able get though it. Beautiful song, wish I could sing it with you. We'd blow the rest away!

  • Thank you :)

    I've done a number of Neil songs on here over the past year. I'm glad you liked my rendition. Neil's songs are so expressive, and a joy to sing.

  • can i ask?

    why is there a piece of round black thing infront of the mic? wat is it used for?

  • It's called a "Pop filter".

    I made it out of a stocking and a coat hanger, but you can buy them in music stores.

    It stops things like the "P" sound or blowy words from distorting on the mic.

  • sounds good!

  • Thank you :)

  • awesome....see you in the limelight... i'm sure you're gonna have a bright future in your singing career. YOU ARE REALLY AWESOME!!!

  • Thank you very much :)

    It's for fun at the moment, and I write my own songs too. You never really know what fate will lay in your path :)

  • This is excellent! I'd like to hear you sing some David Bowie songs. I imagine you'd sound almost identical!

  • Thank you :)

    I never really thought about Bowie. There are a couple of his I like. I've got masses of songs to get through, but now you mention it, I might put one of his on my list for the future :)

  • You are good. Have you tried to audition locally in your area. You should tried it out. If you can play piano, find a piano at a restaurant and play and sing. Good luck and make side money.

  • I haven't yet. I play the guitar a little bit, and I'm a whiz with computers. That's how I manage to put together my own compositions with full instrumentation :)

    I have been thinking about trying out for some bands. Who knows eh :)

  • Very well sang m8, excellent!

  • Thank you :)

  • When singing do you find it difficult to hit that high pitch ? I am a fan of Neil and notice that on a lot of your songs you don't go as high as he does; but overall you do an excellent job...keep up the good work. Ignore the rude comments from others...even Neil gets critisism from those that are jealous.

    Darren from the UK.

  • Thank you Darren. I can't say I noticed the pitch thing. I just sing it like I know it. There are other songs where I have sung higher, and even use falsetto :)

  • Very nice rendition!

  • Thank you :)

  • superb

  • Thank you :)

    I've done quite a few Neil songs on here now :)

    All by request.

  • Beautiful Voice!

  • Thank you very much :)

  • jeff u sound really like him thanks

  • Thank you. I actually sing his songs with my natural voice :)

    They suit my tone :)

  • Well Sung!!

    You sound more like Neil Diamond than Neil Himself!!

  • Thank you very much :)

    Can that really be possible? Lol. :)

    I find Neil Diamond songs quite easy to sing, and I don't try to sound like him. I just sing with feeling, and whatever comes out, comes out :)

  • siss boy

  • ????

  • Nice :D

  • Thank you :)

  • :) ok ciao

  • Thank you :)

  • this song is simply outstanding.

    Surely one of the most beautiful by Neil Diamonds and is my fav.

    Thanks Jeff, your voice and your particular way to put feelings singing this one, is enough to improve my day.

    Giovanna @--->---

  • This is probably one of the best ones of Neil's to sing. It has it gentle verses, then the chorus just floods in :)

  • Simply...PERFECT....

  • Wow!

    Thank you very much :)

  • Just popped in to listen again. You sing it so beautifully.

    Love you! Mum x

  • Beautiful

  • Thank you very much :)

  • WOW WOW AND WOW AGAIN JEFF!

    I´ll stay for more than just a while:)

    BRILLIANT

  • Lol. Thanks again Nicole. This is one of my favourite Neil songs.

  • LOL to funny.

  • Man Jeff, unbelievable singing on this one!

  • This is the first of 2 Neil songs back to back. Glad you liked this one. I'm just putting the finishing touches to a song that I wrote to put up on YouTube. I'm hoping to get it up in a week. In stereo of course ;)

  • OMG!  is that you singing this? wow, amazing, I will be the first line to buy your CD

  • Thank you. Lol. At this rate, it might be worth considering putting together a CD in the future. Now where's that record exec? :)

  • What the fuck was that?

  • Once upon a time, man invented something called music. Stop me if I'm going too fast for you.

  • My 'What the fuck' wasn't aimed at the thing you were doing, more at, how you were doing it.

    Stop me if im going to fast for you.

  • Forgive me. I do enjoy a little sarcasm every now and again :)

    The less than descriptive original comment was begging for me to get my teeth into it :)

    Love to you Jeff. I will be gone for sure now for a while off YouTube.. but I take you with me on my ipod and in my thoughts and heart. Congradulations with these honors but know the measure of the honor is really for all of US here on YouTube allowed the presence of such talent and love in YOU Jeff. Thank you for everything you give us and mostly add to my life. "In My Life" ( look the beatle song up and listen to it... please ) becca @-->------

  • Bless you my darling, safe journey! I will see you dancing in the moonbeams, playing on the water, as I wait in hope for the dawning of your perfect new day.....

  • The "Moonchild" is so perceptive! I love the smile at the end, there is so much behind it.

    Love you ! x Mum

  • Hello Mum. Won't be long now until I am in the skies and in flight. I thought I would have a cup of tea and come listen to the Videos a while and recharge my soul. But I wanted you to know just move this "moonchild" is. The smile and what's behind it is lovely. It is his face and voice on my ipod on Saturday night that I will be with as my plane takes off. Thank you for the gift of HIM to the world Mum. ::blows a kiss and skips off to "She"once more... becca @-->----

  • Ein wunderbarer Song. Grossartig

    interprätiert.Danke für das Video.

    *****

  • Thank you. My interpretation is a result of me trying to express what I feel when I hear the songs myself :)

  • Aww..Jeff I closed my eyes and waltz around the room with you singing...Thanks for the dance...Big Smiles~

  • Dawn what a beautiful thing to say and what a lovely image. I had to tell you how moved I was. Have a great weekend and may love be with you always! ::smiles and waltzes arounf the room as the rest of the song plays... and twirls and swirls about like on a dance floor:: You Dawn are my Happy Though this day as I begin a new! Thank you for that!

    His autumnrain, becca @-->------

  • Yes the image of it moved me too. Thanks for the comment~

  • Thank you. You've just described what it feels like to sing it :)

  • Jeff~ thanks for not thinking I was a nut case. I was truely moved. You are an awsome singer and that is a beautiful song.

  • US time at 9:20 eastern.

    Love this song so much and you deserve the honors!

    becca @-->------

  • Thank you Becca. Lol. It's 2:36 am here and I'm still going :)

    Each video I do seems to push the boundaries a little further every time as far as the honours are concerned. I'm still waiting to see when the slowdown happens. Lol. :)

  • You know Jeff... you are clearing other boundaries too not just in a honor. You can't measure the progress you have made with just ratings and such. It's nice to know people love the Video. But truth is... the Videos keep getting better in quality and sound. I love too the way you have gotten comfortable with the camera. The last part of this Video you stare into the audiance. It's like a private concert for each one of us. Very well done! Loves to you again...

    becca @-->------

  • I am finding it easier to do as time goes by. I suppose it is because now I know that there are people out there that enjoy my efforts, and that makes it worth it :)

  • Nice one Jeff, looking forward to the next Neil Diamond song.

  • Thanks Slappy. My Neil Diamond catalogue seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Lol.

  • Excellent...I have always loved this song and never been sure why. You sing it beautifully though. xoxox

  • Thank you Dee-Dee :) I like this one because the chorus feels like opening a door to see sunlight. Well, that's how my warped mind sees it. lol.

  • I put a million dollars on it that the next song is Forever in Bluejeans? Hum? IDK, just a guess, great job Jeff.

    JP

  • Ooh. Don't do that! lol. It isn't. Though that one is on my to do list, along with a few other Neil ones that have been requested. I've actually created a Neil Diamond playlist of my videos, because of the amount of them that I am doing :)

    Thanks for the compliment :)

  • 10 stars,

  • Why, thank you for your generosity once again with the stars. If you keep on like that, there will be none left in the sky. Lol. :)

  • This is beautiful, I love this one! I could listen to your music all day, you're an inspiration, especially to Jordan.

    Lee-Anne

    xx

  • Thank you Lee-Anne. I used to be a very good singer as a child, and then I sort of stopped when my voice broke for several years. The desire to sing was too strong though, and I still do it at every opportunity. The love affair with singing never really goes away :)

  • really beautiful voice - howd u do that :)

  • Lol. I open my mouth and this strange noise comes out. But seriously. I just use a decent microphone, my computer and a backing track. I add a little reverb (I think a bit too much in this one) to enhance the sound.

    Thank you for the compliment :)

  • BEAUTIFUL. You sing it with such passion and longing. I know that well. Keep up the great work, you have a great gift. Thankyou for sharing it with us . Horntsnest

  • Hello Horntsnest. Thank you. To me, the only way to sing is with feeling. My reward is how it makes me feel to sing it. The most creative people in this world are those that have laughed, cried and have felt the deepest of pain. That is why a painting is not just a painting :)

  • Did I see you open that window Horntsnest? or did I just feel a very warm breeze come in?

    Yes, I am soooooo proud! Speak to you soon!

I am sure Mum you were part of what set my spirit to flight. You are often in my thoughts and always now in my prayers. I will write when I get settled. I leave Saturday!
