Cover of Blackout

[Annsilvary]

this is so beautiful. Wow, thumbs up!!!

[museLP24]

i very much agree with your description of the song (i absolutely love it, and muse), but i think it might have maybe been better to sing softer and with a rather soothing voice...which doesn't mean that you sing bad at all!!! i just feel like...the song is so fragile that the loud voce doesn't fit that much. but it's a difficult one of course, muse songs ARE difficult!

[9nforcer]

wow simple yet fantastic singing! haha... wish i could sing like you... but till now i could feel the diaphragm in me .. :(

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much :)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[TheCaterozza]

Muse, rem, coldplay...

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much. They are all songs I enjoy singing and I hope that comes across :)

[androtheunderground]

[jeffstunes]

[larnahRAWR]

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much. I envy you. I have friends who have seen them live but I haven't yet.

They started to become well known about 50 miles away from me :)

[solitudinarian]

[grantdeeps]

[crosswalkernie]

Muse and Neil Diamond? Well you just know how to pick em, don't you?

[zedan4]

[Johnny89Applez]

Your voice is perfect for muse songs

[ninjasnipe]

[Kage1111]

Wow awesome cover

[1JdA1]

Awsome

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much :)

[angelofskem]

hiya jeff this is brill! also gonna buy your album of amazon the samples ive listen to sound awesome x

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. It's one of my favourite songs by Muse. I'm so glad I got around to singing it. I'm even more pleased you like the sound of some of my original stuff :)

The album was finally narrowed down to 15 tracks from an original 86 recordings! I picked what I thought were the best in the bunch. I've had some really positive feedback and people telling me their favourite tracks which all seem to differ. Which is really good. It tells me it has wide appeal (I hope). Have a great christmas :)

[bar44greg]

Awesome 5*

[jeffstunes]

Thank you for the compliment :)

[rangu66]

I love your voice it's so amazing you're really great I'm so glad that i came upon your videos I'm going to subscribe and I'm going to practice using your techniques thankyou so much 5/5!!

[likko16]

Wow! This Video Is Awesome! I Really Like It! Your Voice Is Awesome!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much. Twice :)

[christell1]

Hi Jeff glad to see you won your battle to get the block removed on this wonderful video..ALL the Best..Brendan

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Brendan. Yes, apparently they've struck a deal with Youtube, and that was the grounds for my dispute. It took some time but i'm glad it finally got there :)

[edziomy]

Awesome, i started learning to sing 2 months ago and I'm far away (whole universe to cover?) from having such a skill (though thanks to your "how to sing" videos i made a substantial progress)

to cut the long story short: U ROCK!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much for the compliments. I think the most important thing about singing is to enjoy it. In your heart and in your head. Something I do every time I sing, and i hope that comes across :)

[OnionOrange]

What can i say? This is Awesome. 5 star cover.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much. You've left me wondering about an onion that tastes like an orange. Something I fear that is only possible under hypnosis. Lol :)

[kiasmo72]

Amazing :-) thank for your voice, Jeff :-D

ciao ciao

Francesca

[jeffstunes]

Thank you for listening Francesca. I was so pleased to get to do this song. It has so much to express.

[wtranter]

nice tune jeff you ihave a great voice gonna have a look at your other stuff now you might want to have a look at my channel wtranter

[jeffstunes]

Thanks Bill. I see you like a bit of Neil :)

[MissGorgeous111]

Great job!! i like it!! =)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[EdMichigan]

Cool vid. loved the candles to start and the cut in with the candles. Great Job. I dont' know the song but . I like it. Keep them comming Thanx

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. It's a great song. One of my favourites by Muse and a complete pleasure to sing :)

[tps607]

Jeff,this is beautiful.I am not familiar with the original...so this will always be Jeff's Tune for me....and it is great! *****

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much. The original is beautiful. It's one of the reasons I chose to sing it. It's one of a few songs that carries most of the expression in the vocals :)

[LJABC]

Well Jeff, I believe this is my new all-time favourite. I really like Muse and listening to this, several times, has been a real pleasure. This was beautifully sung, extremely emotive, with an engaging, reflective quality in both video and vocals. In my opinion, this is brilliant cover!

5 huge *****

x

[jeffstunes]

It just feels so right to sing. :)

[skeletone111]

Awesome job on this my friend:)

5*****

[jeffstunes]

Hey thanks :)

[jd450lh]

Awesome video and most definitely very well done, 5*****s! I would like to thank KarenEng for sharing this with me.

Have a blessed weekend,

Jeff

[jeffstunes]

Thank you, and thanks to Karen. I once did a duet with her which I very much enjoyed. She's a good and supportive friend :)

[jd450lh]

I will second that...you can't ask for a better friend than Karen. She has a heart as big as the world...she is one awesome lady!

[tuden]

great cover,i've been listening to a lot of muse lately and it's kinda funny and great to find you doing a cover.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. I did this a few months ago, and Youtube have finally allowed it. I've got the first 4 Muse albums. The later albums are better in my opinion, except for the song 'Unintended' on the first album, which is fantastic :)

[KarenEng]

Wow, Jeff, this was worth the wait! This song is so beautiful! And your vocals are flawless! ;)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Karen. I'm glad they finally allowed it. As a singer, you will know that there are very few songs that feel wonderful to sing. This is one of those songs for me :)

[LittleLassieK9]

Wonderful! I've never heard the original, but this is awesome!

Hope to hear more songs from you! Keep 'em coming!

5/5

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. The original is beautiful. It's one of those songs that feels really good to sing.

[chitchatt2006]

Sounds like it is sung from the heart, Jeff. So glad you were able to work out the details and let us all hear it. We all appreciate you and your music very much. :D

[jeffstunes]

It was sung from the heart. It's a song I respect so much for the potential for expression. I'm glad it's appreciated. That's what has inspired me to do more :)

[HuggableAngel]

it is a beautiful song ... great job Jeff . i like the video , something magical about candles i love em .. hope all is ok your way .

HUGs Terri

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Terri. I get to use candles at least once a year when we get our power cuts. That's what I get for choosing to live in a rural area :)

[silverfoxcondor46]

Good job setting the ambiance with candles.

I always enjoy hearing your voice.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. It was a simple idea, but I felt it fitted the song :)

[uncledave10]

You sound very good Jeff , and such a nice tune :o)tm *****

[jeffstunes]

Thanks Dave :)

[beachfrontal]

I think If I may be as bold as to be totally honest, I think this is the best that has come out of your top shelf music distribution centre,EVER!!! for me at least!!, this goes in Favs and an easy listening playlist of you tube greats.And thats from someone who does not like MUSE so it's very very good,I stated on an earlier comment I repeat.I prefer this to the original,I may have to come to you and ask your permission to use it in a forthcoming video thats how much I like it.555555555555

[jeffstunes]

Thanks again David. I tried uploading this earlier in the year and it was blocked. However Youtube recently came to a revenue sharing percentage agreement with Warner over it's content. Even though this is a cover version, Warner own the mechanical copyright so even cover versions half belong to them. Hopefully all Warner music will be allowed soon. There are news bulletins about it around on the net. Finally. You are welcome to use my version in your vids :)

[beachfrontal]

I quote; "Even though this is a cover version, Warner own the mechanical copyright so even cover versions half belong to them" end quote, that's interesting if this half belongs to you when do you get your half, to make a whole there are 2 equal parts, 50/50 you need a good lawyer lol.

[jeffstunes]

Well I'm not a Youtube partner so I can't put commercials on my videos. Which means that I receive no revenue for my performance. I understand that and accept it as it is stated in the T&C's. So for my part I give the videos freely. However Warner have a right to claim as well because they own the Mechanical Copyright to the song and therefore may have a right to claim some broadcast royalties from Youtube. So Youtube may be placing ads on their material in time to get revenue from advertisers.

[SeverusSnapehasmyhea]

Wow, I honestly have to say that I wasn't expecting this. You're amazing!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much. It was a pleasure to sing :)

[beachfrontal]

I can only say that it must be good for themo think its Muse actually singing/playing.What I don't GET is this!!,Terms and conditions of use of you tube under re copyright issues we are warned not too make false copyright claims as it is a federal offence,That further action will be taken against US SO how can Warner and their friends,make false claims and be immune from the law,we also get our accounts closed if we make a false CR claim,SO why dont they get banned from here too

[faffytunes]

My son went to see muse

Last week in Sheffield arena

So I have got to hear their stuff that way

Yours nice version sung with soul amazing

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. I'd love to see muse live, I have friends who have seen them live and were amazed that the four of them could produce that sound live with just their instruments and no extra backing :)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

Youtube flagged this video as Warner content and blocked it. I disputed it and it's only come back today. So now I get to reply to my comments.

[dragonflyjan]

Hello Jeff well worth the waite.. I am in England right now visiting realatives so i am able to share this song with them also. Beautiful so happy you were able to put it on here x:} Janet

[jeffstunes]

Thanks Janet. As you probably know. Youtube blocked the video as Warner content. I disputed it and it finally came back today, which has also allowed me to answer previous comments before it got blocked. Warner have done a deal with Youtube, but as this is a cover, I'm not sure how that stands. Still, what's important is that Youtube have finally allowed the video :)

[dragonflyjan]

Jeff i was still in Canada when i tried to click on to the song ,only to find out that Warner blocked it.. I just had my lap top hooked up today and low and behold happy and surprisewd to see the song unblocked . Now i enjoyed it along with my family . :)

[Maysey1]

After I posted my comment and refreshed you lost another comment left by another person. It's as if you gain one and loose one at the same time. I wish I knew what was going on for sure, but I really think the folks at Google want to make what use to be a pleasurable experience a lousy one and little by little run everyone off so they can do some major advertising for the big names in music and get paid a handsome amount from the record companies, they're already doing it actually. Mark

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Mark. I haven't been able to reply to my comments because Youtube blocked the video as Warner content. It finally came back today and I can reply to my comments. I think that comments disappearing thing was just a Youtube bug. They need to hire some more thorough programmers. :)

[Maysey1]

Hi Jeff, really enjoyed this creative cover of this song. Your sound comes through so nice. Was this done on a keyboard? I see your comments are disappearing too based on your replies vs comments. Well I guess just as long as you get to read the feedback before it disappears is OK, but it's not fair to others who may watch and definitely not doing you justice as if you miss a few days, you may miss out on it all together. I think the folks at Google have other things in mind with this site.

[beachfrontal]

Jeff I guess its impossible to know everything and be up to speed on every band/group in Chiswick,so here goes I had not been made aware of MUSE, but I liked this version and thought muse check 'em out. You know what "your"version is miles better,I could hear everthing you said,and your voice knocks spots off the original with boulders,I have downloaded the original version,I like the song,"YOURS" is so much superior,by the way I hated all their other stuff,pure splodge.this is the 55555 version

[jeffstunes]

Thank you David. This video was flagged as Warner content, and was blocked. I disputed it, and after a long wait, it finally came back. So now I can reply to my comments :)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[fundybaygirl]

Beautiful song and the video is quite a masterpiece...a lot of imagination went into this and for that I give you 10 stars for that.....singing very good!!! thanks for sharing....

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much :) Sorry it's been a long time in replying but Warner blocked this video and it's only been allowed back today.

[chessdude67]
