Greg Friedman - Aimee Mann's Freeway

[bgildersleeve1]

Love this version. Can't get it out of my head. Fantastic!!

[rcmaniajato]

to this day, i still have this version on my mp3 player and listen to it on a regular basis. I have also downloaded a few of his other songs. i love them all, very talented artist.

[brandenwilliam93]

I luckily found this as a friend of mine also entered the contest. This version of the song is brilliant. The first thing I thought of was "Figure 8" and "XoXo". Then I went on to listen to some of the samples of the debut album 'Souls of Passing Feet' and bought it right away. This may be a bit of a stretch, but it's nearly like having a new Elliot Smith album to look forward to listen to. The lyrics to "Piece of Me" are especially reminiscent to the late Smith. 

[stereoboyjz]

By far the very best. you should have won. I love aimee mann, but she got this one wrong. Totally wrong. The production is amazing. Great re-wrigte of the song.

[augieDog1]

great version

[liziebubble]

loved this...

[barrysbaps01]

I'm going through a very hard time right now, This song picked me up

Thanks

[BNL07604]

This is pretty good!

[zaap]

hehe liked how you did your own version of it, really different but equally good

[driedupmarkers]

love this!

[sapofgold]

I really like this rendition...awesome!

[pausg]

lovely!

nice version :)

[edhermann]

Hell of a job Greg -- you made this song your own...well done!

[mewogogin]

Is there anyway i can get this song I like this version almost better than the real one...Almost.

[me06182]

dont you read video descriptions?

[mewogogin]

Ye i dont hvae a myspace(every1 gasps) so is there any other way i can get it.

[me06182]

you dont need to have a myspace account to download songs

[AmericanKid14]

...someone's a jew, ill give you a hint, its the jew in this video

[trackaccessgirl]

I really liked this one

[photomat22]

Very good effort. More engaging than Aimee's, and I'm a big Aimee fan. Good job!

[harmor20]

I rarely make comments but I made this one to say that I think you should have won the contest.

[missyxiong]

still LOVING this version way better!!! lol, enough already no one's forcing this song down your throat. If you don't like it, don't click on it. Duh, simple as that. OMFG, what's wrong with people these days, don't like it yet takes the time to comment.

[missyxiong]

lmao, someone's actually claiming to be smart on youtube of all places. lmfao, can't do it in real life, have to do it on the web.

[KatieLyl]

wow, someone's jealous, not smart...only a jealous person would waste their time expressing their hate. Jealousy=hate=stupidity

[jaboman34]

this is my favorite version!!..nice job!

[gilianlion]

This version is truly better that the one from Aimee

[starcraving]

Love this version... better than Aimee...

[ThatMyGumbo]

It got to suck when a cover is better than the original song. You can tell in her podcast winners video that she is insecure about it.

[massivereader]

v. good except the uke bits were incongrous. They disrupted the tone to the first half.

[Empo3]

greg friedman #1

Better than aimeemann

[hulubuloo]

this version is my favorite! kudos!

[kakincass]

elliott smith esque in the best way.

# 1!!

[volcomstarYT]

dude that song sucks man i'D prefer to hear a horse getting fucked up that video is fuckin boaring and you just suck... bitch

[mode94015]

aimee didn't pick him, because he actually better then her. hahah

[mode94015]

I thought this was the best vid for the contest, better then john galt, and i think it is better then the original.

[rogersroad]

Greg,

this is brilliant! I hope you know what is clear to most of the viewers here - you've got some smoking talent!

[Chforklan]

cooool

[Lyn8675309]

wow i really liked this youre awesome

[synchretist]

I liked your version best

[minihippoproductions]

Great cover. Regardless of who wins, this is the best one.

[Hermensche]

Dude, your version is magic.

You took the song and transformed it into something that takes off. Unlike many other 'interpreters' you slip into the skin and take the song to another level. Awesome, magical.. luv it!!!!

[TheSandreGuy]

Better than the original!

[BillieFM]

I love how you do the whole "dance hall" instrumentals towards the end.

[koontzman123]

Holy mackerel you're good!

[DocumentaryDude]

this is typical jew crap!!!

[Hermensche]

Apage Ananas! Back to the past, away , nasty spirit!

Seriously, ever thought of seeing a specialist for lobotomy?

[jakefinn56]

im sorry my friendjust posted that chainmail. very good job on the video

[subs1337]

mp3? :) Best entry. Hell, I didn't know this song, and it sounds like you could of just wrote it. Amazing!

[MediocreFilms]

Wow, this is truly excellent. Definitely the best entry, she should have picked you!!

[josheewah07]

This was AMAZING!. i love your composition of the song for sure! very very creative with what you were given. great job!

[mbmpeace]

Outside the box, I like it!

[wishhavoc]

Doesn't your hairs bother you ? ^^

[ugotjacked1]

hes not wearing a seat belt =p

[rcmaniajato]

Rock on. i want a mp3 of this. you did an awesome job.

[bayoleta]

Sucks...big tym.

[fantomspower]

You got dogged.  Oh well good job dude.

[daajkoot99]

does he have an album? this is one of the best artists Ive heard in awile kinda sounds like Elliott Smith

[Tomtom1992]

yeah i know what you mean, elliott smith/ beatles

[jordon666]

this song is stupid as fuck if u actually listen to it.

FUCKIN SUCKS

[daajkoot99]

fuck you

[jordon666]

hey why dont you suck my dick you fuckin fruit cake

[mowglirudebox]

You didn't win because it was too good! ABSOLUTE LEGEND!

[Hermensche]

I agree: Aimee was carefully selecting the most conservative interpretations. Greg was over the board - too much to take. Anywhoo: this version is a standalone new piece of art. Artsomeawesome!

[secretlyhappy]

you sound like Ben Gibbard (the lead singer for Death Cab for Cutie)! wonderful, wonderful video. i love the display of your creativity through the different instruments. you should've won the contest

[3amJosh]

I've been coming back to this video all day to listen to the song. I want it on iTunes. His version.. Please. Thanks

[krazymaniak]

record it yourself with a dual male ended microphone cord and Audacity. Play the video, record sound with audacity. Just run the cable from your out port to your mic

[krazymaniak]

best one IMHO

[rabnerrabnerrabner]

WOW !!!! ....yes indeed .. WOW !!!!

[311573505]

It must have taken you a long time to assemble this vid... i dont get it every one else that entered is shit.. u should have one ..

[susysue22]

I like*....not think

[susysue22]

I think this is version of freeway...you should have won!

[DestroyerOfLies]

it sounds ok. 3***

[burnettrose]

you deserved to win this contest! we're horrified that aimee chose someone so average over YOU! you're brilliant, we love your version!! so much better than aimee's actually, that's probably why she was a bit snarky on the winner video post! she's lost a fan in us! we think she was threatened by you!

P& H

[KenliMusic]

I second that emotion.

This is really great.

It was really ballsy to rewrite her song and make it better than it is. I intended on doing that by sticking to her melody etc.

Jon Brion would be proud of you.

It's awesome.

[kbrokar]

really good, i wonder how many people where staring at you while you where rocking out lol

[dcflavadave]

dum ass video, shits wack

[einsteinian]

The video was ok, but the song and re-write was very good. Its a lot better when you hear the original first before hearing the remix.

[cherokeedonna83]

lovely !

[adollforreal]

Nice originality. Cool Video. Great Voice

[FocusAssembly]

And I thought it was funny to see people singing at a traffic light lol.

Very cool video, you're really talented.

[shellmer1]

Great! You are very talented!

[slowlearner2552]

wow this guy is so fucking lame

[3amJosh]

Wow, this I really like! Much better than even the original!

[friedman92]

we have the same last name :) r u jewish too?

[missyxiong]

back again, I just can't get enough of your voice. so relaxing. ahhh

[missyxiong]

wow I actually thought this was the real artist. I love this one way better than Aimee's(sorry.)

[Empo3]

I googled you and you are in a band and have a debut album, nice stuff. :-)

[hotforgibson]

great defs the best

[Empo3]

Fucking awesome voice and style, winer. Dude get in a band ffs. get a record deal.

[Drnwhyl]

booooring

[JASONROLF]

i think it's very unsafe and dangerous to sing and play guitar and drive a car at the freeway at the same time!

get off the streets!

[danielgavin]

ahah this is catchier than the original,your a character dude.

[meteor19]

This one is the best. I hope this wins!

[lotagu]

Dude Fucking Killer

[ilovshoooz]

[salmomella]

[VincenzodiTodi]

This is my all time favorite! Well done, amigo!

[swimmom1010]

LOve it!!!

[BillieFM]

Five stars! Great interpretation of the song, totally ties in I think with Aimee's love of "dance hall" - like intrumentals and some Beatles-feel thrown in too. Love it.

[jasonc22]

a great re-interp of the song! good job!

[MorganBucks]

Very Cool!

[cornflakegirl88]
