  • Im sorry but Im not gonna be nicer to you just cause your a girl. that sucked. bad.

  • possibly just ruined my favourite song :(

  • If you want constructive criticism: Very generic, but you have potential.

  • Anyone that's giving this cover positive feedback is going to hell. And that was on the nicer side of the list of things I could have said about this.

  • To be honest with you, you can't sing. You're average at singing. Nothing special, but at least you can play guitar. (:

  • I think it was good. Good song choice as well and youre fit

  • Cute.  :]

  • yeah, pretty bad voice

  • you have an amazing voice, dont let anyone tell you different (:

  • voice is the worst

  • Love the way she sings this.

  • leave this song for the pros ... your brutal!!!!

  • You have a really good voice, just gets annoying, but well done.

  • I thought that it was pretty good :)

  • i think this is awesome! keep it up girl!

  • I like and you've made it your own!! If you get a chance could you check my version out!!

  • i really like your voice! it's different. but it's very pretty.

  • O.o

  • your voice remind me Joanna Newsom ^^

  • don't like your voice

  • why have so many people disliked this?! hahaha its really good 

  • couldent have chosen a better city and colour song. your voice is like a combination of fergie and jesus.

  • @berrydude100 That sucks since Fergie can't sing.

  • where's your top lip? O.o

  • @gibsonrockerSG does it make you feel better to be rude like that?

  • I don't understand why, this has so many dislikes ? You took it, and made it yours. I think Dallas would be honored . This is one of my favorite songs in the world, I loved your cover of it.

  • nice.

  • Thumbs up for doing your own thing!

  • Good job. I like it. 

  • I think this was an outstanding cover. Good work, Amy.

  • sounds beautifull to me my dear, im from newfoundland so i know good talent when i see it :) keep it up :)

  • im gonna put up a video response of me singing it

  • I dig it, but try singing from the diaphragm instead of your nose!

  • nicely done my dear! 

  • Your pitch wasn't off that much. Just a little rhythm issues but City and Colour do that to a lot of guitar players. Don't worry, this was a good job!

  • @dvon21 does*

  • to all the negative critics shut the fuck up this girl gave it a try and she has a good voice and plays the guitar gracefully congratulations i loved the video :)

  • not trying to be a dick but your voice is kinda annoying and the strum pattern is way off lol

  • you have an amazing voice, only reason people troll you is because they arent jacking off, i bielive in you so much, il give you a record deal, but i need to know how wide you can open your mouth, umm, for singing purposes.

  • I like it, buncha trolls on here.

  • guys, be easy...the girls got a good voice! and the strumming pattern is fine! Dallas Green is just a difficult artist to cover! especially if your a girl! kudos to you sis! KUDOS!

  • you suck, wrong strumming pattern horrible voice . i wouldnt even call this sleeping sickness.

  • NICE VOICE!

  • Hey, I don't get why people are so mean either! You did great for having just started to learn guitar! Are you using a pick? I know lots of acoustic players don't but you should at least try it if you haven't yet. Just a suggestion.

  • not gonna lie, you play guitar better and definitely sing better then me, and probably better then most of the negative critics on here. at least you had a balls to try and even toss a video up for tons of strangers.

  • @HUndead866 totally agree mate

  • @HUndead866 She only plays chords... how can it be worse or better... (but about singing is ok)

  • i hate negative comments so i'll try to make mine okay. there's just a lack of emotion.. you're singing it well but you seem like you don't really know what you're singing. it's such an emotional song and i don't see it there

  • @xfreakoutx i agree. you have a lot of talent, and its a shame to see you not live up to your full potential. i think you should practice this a little more, getting really passionate with it, and the finished product will be incredible.

  • I liked this :) It always makes playing a song so much more fun if you can sing along with it too.

  • aww now this is cute .and well done for a nervous girl.anybody whos doing something like this on camera ,its nerve racking ,try it live and have cameras thrust its weird cool but weird.and shes singing a decent song too

  • HOLY SHIT YOUR FOREHEAD IS HUGE!!!

  • fit

  • Advice, it's usually a really bad idea to do a cover of Dallas of all people.

    This lacked emotion, and your voice didn't do it justice.

  • here my dallas song

  • @zephyrboy17 hahaha

  • bad voice.. like a duck.

  • <3

  • I think you are very gifted and talented just by listening to this song.

    I don't have to hear anything else you've done because it's obvious your great at what you do.

    However when you sing this song it lacks the emotional power that Dallas Green brings to it.

    That's all that I think you didn't do in this song.

  • you ruined this great song by dallas.

  • @bojo1055 oh, really? You can never listen to it again? You just hate the song altogether now? She didn't ruin anything. You just didn't like her rendition. Good thing no one gives a flying fuck about your opinion.

  • I dont think you can sing this song at all. You've changed the arrangement of the song by a few seconds but it completely messes it all up. To be honest I think its best left to the professionals. SOMEONE COME AN' SOMEONE COME AN' shut up. shut up. shut up. "Dont fix what aint broke."

  • God, you suck so hard. Go and work at Mc Donalds please.  French fries in my belly.

  • Beautiful but i would say you have to open your mouth a little bit more. Sorry for my Englisch i hope u understand.

  • YOU ARE REALLY GOOD!!! Message

    Me for more details!!!!

  • Your voice has a beautiful timbre.

  • Love dallas green! I actually did a cover of his songs, leave a comment? I'd love to get your opinion:)

  • not bad at all. support your voice a bit more, and keep practicin guitar

  • I had to stop listening at 31 seconds as you were completely destroying this song. Shame on you

  • Nice tits

  • Voice is dece. But the chord pattern is off and the chords dont sound right either. The chords are Em, Cmaj7, G, G/F# and the chorus is D(c), Em, Cmaj7

  • ouch my ears!

  • Dont let any hurtin punk tell you your not good ... And your a hottie .. jealous people always post dumb shit... Love you ;)

  • love your voice and you are also good on guitar

  • u gotta listen 2 the song better... ur not singin it right or playin it right.... plz understand but im 12 and i know this song better than u a million times better... the song only sounds well if its sind and played right... sry, just tryin 2 help, thats all... plz understand, and keep up the goo work!!!! Great voice u've got there 2!!!

  • I think yours is the best cover of the song. I loved the way you sing.

  • i like your voice, but i would suggest trying to loosen your jaw. if you open your mouth more then you'll get a greater sound and the volume and power will be there with much less strain on your throat.

    you're very talented

    keep it up love

    xxx

  • I think it's too difficult to try and be on the same level as Dallas Green.

  • @CollegeIdiots ya thats true

  • @CollegeIdiots treu

  • Tiene una voz linda y tocar pues joder si puede tocar :).

  • WOW! You are very good!

  • You look angry girl :O

  • nicely done

  • don't listen to all these haters. you did wonderful. i'm sure dallas green would be thrilled to know that one of his die hard fans did such a sweet cover of this song. keep kickin ass loka.

  • you remind me of a who from whoville, idk why

  • @xXbubblegum21Xx That made me LOL, I thought the same thing. But she's cute.

  • @xXbubblegum21Xx

    I was thinking a munchkin from the wizard of oz:)

    The first thing i thought was "awwwee" :D

  • please open your mouth than you sing better

  • Okay assholes, you try playing the guitar and singing at the same time with this song. You couldn't do any better than Amy's doing (that's your name, right?) and I respect her trying, she did a good job with Sleeping Sickness. Have some respect.

  • hört sich gut an aber lang spielst du noch nicht gitarre oder?

  • I understand that in a cover you want to add your own style to it, but it actually took me a bit to realize the song :( also, at the end, you weren't following the.. tune right with your voice, as you were supposed to get higher, you just kinda... stayed on the same note. A noble first try, but I think you need a bit more practicing before you go on posting some more videos :) good luck on improving, though!

  • you fucking suck and you should feel suck

  • @suicideclub you should feel suck??? maybe u should SUCK some fucking balls h8er. your prob some overweight assfucker drinking beer and masturbating in your smaller then normal apartment so, on the contrary. U SUCK U FUCKING TROLL oh and btw girl your hot and have talent u gonna go far girl <3 . <3

  • @omfgnonamehere dont get this girls hopes up, she ruined this song. Dallas green would be embaressed if he seen this. she sounds like she sucked a shit load of helium before she did this disaster

  • @suicideclub i lol'd so hard at that. How does one feel suck?

  • man I have to agree with u guys... look, it's not an easy song to sing but if u put passion in ur voice u would be perfect. I play this song and i'm twelve (sing and play guitar) and i'm perfect. When I get a video camera i'll show u what I mean. Keep playin and u'll be a great guitar player!!!

  • you sing on tune but you have no emotion and when you sing its way too rhythmically and has no flow. keep trying. K BI

  • She has a five head!

  • a não querida, sua voz é feinha pacaas =D

  • You had the chords right for most part just need to work on the strumming pattern.

    Good job other wise though

  • ahaha nice try

  • @blogsarekool sucked!!!

  • whats wrong with it is that she sings most of the notes for much longer than they should and turned it into an indie cover of the original, taking away the emotion from it that it projects beautiful. On the 'and i'm breaking down' she sings it like the girl from that film 'Juno' does.

  • im not a fan, but cut her some slack peeps! least she tried, and i bet she'd sing other songs well

  • your a fucking retard if u think this is remotly close to being as good as the original

  • @azamatpig ya... ur right.. wat an asshole

  • I think you all mean Constructive Criticism which is the proper terminology for which to give advice without finding fault but merely an evaluation of it. But very good song! Better than the original that i just heard. ;]

  • i have to agree with mrbimbo here. good voice but this isn't a good song of choice

  • Good on ya for having a crack

  • sounds like ur talking the song and when you go too high you sound constipated. just saying.

  • @suvius4 said by someone who has no uploads...perhaps you are just as bad as you think she is.

    I think it takes guts to put a vid up...she did a good job

  • @fuzzpawz86 im worse, i dont sing.. i dont like this its my opinion im not saying she sucks let me have the right to free speech

  • nice job learning the guitar, very good cover but be careful to breathe properly to avoid the higher notes having a nasal sound.. check out my sleeping sickness cover if you get the chance

  • good cover.. but ur definetly not feeling this song sorry.. too bad

  • Great job!

  • Contructive Critism - If you learn the words ;) You can put the feeling that's ever so slightly coming out!!! :(

    And open your mouth, the further you can get your tongue out of the back of your throat, without looking like a douche, will give your much more vibrato and crisp to your voice :)

    just to add - you're kinda cute so you pretty much have it all :P

  • I'm puzzled as to why there is controversy over whether this is good or bad. I mean, she's singing in tune, which is more than most of you could manage. It's not like she's claiming to be a professional.

  • Very Good I love it!!! People Who say it Sucks Are Just Jealous!!!

  • you have a really cute voice, really

    different like the other

    i like it!

  • pls stop singing...

  • your shit

  • the guy below me is an idiot

  • not too bad.. that looks like a sick fuking guitar.. if anyone wants to see a good cover by: City And Colour..?? Cross My Heart under 88DnG . Please check it out.

  • you were good, i like your voice a lot, its cute :)

    im not a pro at guitar ive just started so idk if your tempo is good or wtv, sounds good to me, but maybe play a wee bit louder?

    also to be honest, i love that some people are leaving decent, constructive criticism comments, like mrbimbo and others. its good to see that not all youtube commenters are haters :)

  • this is the reason i have never looked up any city and colour covers.

  • awesome!

  • I agree with mrbimbo

  • great job :)

  • You have a great voice, but I don't think you played this song very good.

    I know I'm going to get attacked by everyone who loved this video, but just know that I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm just giving honest feedback.

    I'm a new artist, and I know that I prefer real opinions over people mindlessly saying "good job" and "that was good."

    Ok, so go ahead and tell me how stupid I am, how I couldn't do any better, and that I should not have watched in the first place.

  • @mrbimbo honest yes....but its a start....constructive criticism cant go wrong with that...but at least there is effort

  • @KickRocks1516 Yeah, there's nothing wrong with trying something different, which I respect a lot. Basically every other video on youtube of people covering this song sounds the same. (Mine included.)

    But hey, she has more views then my cover will probably ever has, and she clearly has more natural talent then me, so more power to her.

  • @mrbimbo i agree....totally different tempo and and strumming

  • @mrbimbo Saying "I don't think you played this song very good." isn't really constructive feedback IMHO.

    I'm not attacking your opionions, but as a new artist yourself, could you have at least try to put your point forward as to why you felt she didn't play very good.

  • @mrbimbo 46 Thumbs up.... too fkn clichéd .... god help us..

  • @mrbimbo well. she she didn't play this song very well. but i agree. i don't think the song's quite in her vocal range.

  • @mrbimbo ok, but where's the feedback?

  • @mrbimbo I thought you were going to provide her with some constructive criticism by telling her how she could play it better. You didn't.

  • I loved it.

    Good, different take on the song.

  • Ok! Hi Amy! I think you do a greaaat version of City and Colour´s Sleeping sickness. Love that song. You are a great person,wish u all the the best from Sweden.

  • I've always liked the way you cover this song. Great job!

  • Really sweet voice, and best choice of song

  • I'm jealous! wish I could do that...

  • I think you did just fine for a few weeks! Sounds pretty good to me :). You did lose the vigor that Dallas has though. The timing is a bit off.

  • I will be a jug I think your voice is off tune and your guitar is ok because its the same chords.

  • you're all creepy. cool cover.. just wish it was a bit faster in terms of the vocals.

  • Stop it, I like it.

  • Whose strangling the cat?

  • rofl.

  • @zardcat1111 no need. nothing nice to say then dont comment.

  • free country, this is the U.S. Try to stop me.

  • that explains it then. you're from america. my heart goes out to you man no wonder you're heartless and obviously stupid if you kept listening to something you didnt like long enough to comment.

  • Soon and very soon it won't be free. Your sentence was created with complacency and ignorance. How many bill's are before your senate and house?

  • @zardcat1111 go man ur right

  • @zardcat1111 fuck you her voice is better than yurs any day!

  • @zardcat1111 you should be strangled you piece of shit. just because you don't have balls to post a video of youself on the most popular site in the world doesn't give you the right to be such a dick. this chick has guts. and her voice is beautiful. so suck it you coward.

  • @ej6989 Who are you, her father?

  • @zardcat1111 LMFFFAAAAOOOO!!!

  • JUST STOP! you get cooler by the video :[

  • You sing and play the guitar too? Stop it you're driving me crazy!! Gorgeous!

  • maybe you should go somewhere else to get laid.

  • not bad, there is potential for sure

  • it sounds like a ukelele song.

  • Chord pattern for this anyone?.......Please

  • e, c, g,d. the only 4 chords in the song. i think the chorus goes d, e, c, c, d. idk, but those are the chords. also, the d chord is supposed to be played as a c chord moved up a step, or at least thats the way i play it. hope that helps.

  • So many thanks .......Cheers

  • very welcome mate.

  • Not bad at all. Keep at it.

  • sucked

  • i just started too! love this song. youre great!

  • Ah, ignore everyone else.. they're just hiding behind the internet.. you had the guts to post a video, and I give you tons of credit for trying. You have a lot of potential :)

  • horrible

  • maybe work on timing and the tone of your voice.

  • hey jackasses, especially jadeXnicole. a 'cover' is not supposed to be exactly the right chord progression or chords. its someone's interp of a song. the fact that she interpreted it this way is completely fine. how about you guys figure out what you're talking about before you bash on her? i personally am going to enjoy it for what it is...i hate douchebags.
