[bradlaven]

next thing I know - I'm listening to you. I love it, man. Like everyone else keeps telling you - keep it up. I'm a pianist myself - been playing for years soooo...it's exciting just to see you play & perform...you will rise, bro'...!

[bradlaven]

Well...clearly I'm not alone! 6 pages of comments on a tune you recorded over 2 years ago...but there's a reason. I'll will have to check out some of your other stuff. Love how genuine most people are and the love that comes from peeps who just share your passion and are genuinely impressed at your talent. That song has stuck in my head despite me not knowing even who the artist was(I do now). Was listening ot Sirius radio thru my Dish network and it came on and i ran to the TV to find out

[brandondallas]

Anyone odder.  LMAO

[20mudie09]

not bad the dude is right try not to sing from your throat but your quite good :D

[seianj]

Thank you for your good constructive comment, very rare on youtube. :)

[hallelujah12191]

great job man! it sounds like ur singing from back in your throat a little bit tho, try to let the air do the work, not the muscles in your throat.

keep at it!

[sarah1oszter]

Love how you play! I want to learn this song so bad!

[seianj]

[iBESTFRIEND]

Ok, so first I read ALL the comments so I think I've come up with the right words to say: You're a great ppiano player, no doubt, you play this song exactly right. However, it is a little pitchy, otherwise it's great. I don't mind your accent, it sounds fine.

-Lauren

[FeijkIndustries]

Ey Jojo :D

This one's way better than the stuff you did back then with your Casio and played it back to me and Ari while we standing under your window :D Good job mate! Nice to see you're still doing music and I also loved your photos!

Cheers

-Tomi-

[mkextra05]

WOW!!! GREAT COVER!

you make Filipinos proud!!

Hoping you all the best..

Good Luck :D

[archersfootball]

good song!

[boxclowneraser]

seian!! its me, kenneth... i like it!! ur great!! hehe

[trublgrl]

NICE COVER! I think the keyboard is really tight and "metronomic", almost robotic, but I like it, it's new and interesting. HOWEVER, I think the vocal is also very tight to the beats, which sounds wierd. At around 2:30 you loosen up with the lyric and it sounds awesome from them on. If English is not your first language, it's awesome! You really are talented!

[seianj]

now that is what i call a constructive comment. (which is rare here in youtube in my opinion). Thank You.

Yea i know what you mean with metronomic, i would have prefered to record it with our real piano instead of the keyboard, but we live in a place which i cant consider sound proof, there are dogs, cats, chicken, etc and people around the house, its hard to get an absolute quiet moment for recording..

anyway, thank you again for your comment. keep it up!

[trublgrl]

I keep coming back and listening to this, it's really great. It's not exactly like you are separating the playing from the singing, yet, though. When you play a song a LOT, you can play it from memory and sing it from the heart. I you can, post another some time and thrill us again :)

[Tiguitare]

LOOOOL WORK YOUR ENGLISH!!!

[seianj]

thank you for dropping by. i speak more or less five languages, i don't mind having an accent. if you do listen to the lyrics, then you know what the song is all about.

peace. :)

[mrsuliban]

fyi: there are about 450 million native English speakers around the world and most of them probably don't share your accent. so just give him a damn break.

[friktish]

hala! byuha man dii nimu mukanta dah..

[Memron]

great song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[stjernemix15]
