Magni - The Dolphins Cry

[SmokinSNYP3R]

Almost as good as Ed singing it!!!

[001hamish]

watched it live, this and his encore done electric, probably the best 2 versions of this song I've ever heard. He is a Singer!! Best singer on this show! (Hindsight is awesome

[8411184]

Ég þori að veðja að helmingurinn af ensku commentnum séu frá íslendingum.

[Runnmill]

@8411184 magni er faggi

[8411184]

@Runnmill Satt.

[The66north]

The best musician on that show period. Also the best voice. Don´t start talking about falsetto. The rest of the kids never came close. except the lady that sang MY Iron Lungs.

[baseballmanrg]

This is possibly my favorite performance not only of this show, but of any singing competition on tv.

[lolmenot]

This is one of the best acoustic covers ever made. Can´t watch this without getting the chills, and I´ve seen it like a hundred times!

[SmileCar2]

@lolmenot i totally agree, i get the goosebumps every time... I WAS THERE AT THE PERFORMANCE TOO, just amazing

[lolmenot]

@SmileCar2 You were there??!! I hate you! ;) 

[SmileCar2]

@lolmenot i know lol it was bone chillin

[Voicecolors]

he avoid all the high notes...the falsettos parts too...thats not good

[pqgmama]

anyone know if magni has done anything recently?

[thundercloud44]

This guy was soo awesome!

[malichi912]

love it how tommy, jason and gilby brought his wife and kid over cuz he was missing them and so he could be with his son

[puremage70]

what kind of guitar is he playing?

[elinbjorg95]

i get so proud being from iceland when i watch this !! :D

[markdion]

Is it possible to get this in HD??

[jimbonails]

Leaves the original in its dust!!

[TheStebbi]

What are those chords? Bminor, G major....

[ChristieCha0s]

1:26 , panties melted in that crowd.

[MrSupertwo]

Good, but, not as good as the original

[XLNTCASUAL]

@MrSupertwo Better my friend.

[1985nsl]

ok...wait...9 people didnt like this performance?...are they tone deaf, or hearing impaired in other regards....this guy rocked the show...live should be so lucky to have made a better version..even though they are one of my favorite bands this is better

[cobe427]

que berraco pa cantar!!!! una chimba el cover

[congodaddy]

this dude should have won! If so,

Super Nova would not have been just a show i liked, We would be on fire, listening today!!!

[eimeremie]

fucking great performance!

[mel3120]

Who is the original singer of this song?

[ReBornLive83]

@mel3120

Ed Kowalckzyk of LIVE is the original singer.

He's gone solo now with some kick ass music.

The bandmembers of LIVE: Chad Gracey, Patrick Dahlheimer en Chad Taylor and two members of Candlebox :Kevin Martin en Sean Hennesy are now The Gracious Few

[nabess8]

@mel3120 .......the band is called "Live"

[eepoj]

Some people in Iceland hates him because when he was there he is a member of a boy band and eventually when he went to the USA he became a rock star icon. He is more of a boy band in his home town!!!!!!

[binnulingur]

@eepoj Á móti sól isn't a boy band..

[Vidartmp]

@eepoj not a boyband and not a band from his home town. He and Emilana Torrini come from a small town on the east coast of Iceland, Borgarfjörður-eystri. Be right or .............

[amylepper]

gives me goosebumps everytime i listen to it i love it!

[MyNissa]

This show yielded some real musicians...unlike other music competitions arond *cough*idol

[13Mazar]

Never heard of the show, - until now. When I found this clip linked since Im a Live

fan. And I gotta say: Sweet fu**ing moses this man can deliver the rock`n`rolla!

Never found anyone doing a live song even close to the heart and soul of the original, but this Magni, he`s got the juice, the grit and the soul of a true rockstar.

To bad he dident win.

I get chills down my spine when he discharges that Icelandic volcano.

[IcelandicActor]

i love how he starts slow and icelandic style =) im from iceland =) any way i love how Magni EXPLOTES wean hes voice his high =)

[c00per69]

Magni was to spiritual for the Pagan Mass

[Peter24601]

Supernova made a horrible choice, cause I really think Magni was the best peformer in the entire batch of singers. Every song he performed was perfect, and how he was overlooked for that brat Rossi (and I'm Canadian so no bias) is sad. Now where is this band? Yeah, bad call... Supernova picked the wrong man for the job.

[slubert]

O crap!! magni has to pay IceSave :O

[Steypustjori]

O crap!! þú líka :O

[bjarni07]

two members of his band are teachers in myschool.

[godandaginn123]

seriously, its LIVE and it is just AMAZING! He NEVER fails...!

I'm proud of him and proud of being an icelander :L

[dentimme01]

he's NOT a better singer than Eddie Kowalczyk, so not better than Live's original :)

[chickaboo232]

better than the original by far :)

awesomen ework son

[brynjaran09]

magni magnimagni magnimagni magnimagni magnimagni magnimagni magnimagni magnimagni magni

[skybuggzmom]

really wish he won....now look at inxs...yeah sooo much for having a troll lead ya huh...

[AtheistaNET]

skybuggzmom: he wasn't on the INXS season. hehe. You must be confused.

[123tam000]

he wasnt on inxs.

[skybuggzmom]

Duh....lol I was just using them as a example...and weird I coulda swore I wrote more than just that statment..owell.

[siggaa95]

I saw Magni, his wife and baby in a little zoo here in iceland a few months ago! :D

he was eating ice cream :D

[AdieuSjaumst]

magni is from iceland !!!!! me to :)

[crazycherona]

Best performance of the entire show by far. (:

[SuperDayv]

Best performance of the competition!

[JensaRahm]

haha youtube is hilarious how can a video of someone doing a cover song lead to a discussion about killing whales :)

great performance by the way

[qyasser]

soo..wat happpened to supernova?

[icelandic4]

We have him all by ourselves in Iceland and we are loving it, but he's amazingly good singer and could make it big outside Iceland.

[kalusia09]

wow!!! I I've never seen a bad performance of Magni, he's always great in EVERY aspect! Only Magni can sing a cover song that is much better than the original!!!

[berkheim666]

wow...dude got nice voice :O

very good!

[mmmmYEPP]

amazing.

[SuzieWasRobbed]

I still get chills everytime I hear it. My favorite performance of that entire season.

[lfcmm100]

i actually think david cook would have done a really good job on this song. btw, magni absolutely killed it (in a good way lol) great voice, when i was watching this i was like "shit, perfect song for him"

[roger156]

such a good cover!

[milicoha]

More heart than original by Live

[erfrocks]

hey, i don't support whaling or go against it, i just wanna say that the comments are for the video, not whaling. also, just because magni is from iceland doesn't mean he supports whaling, its kinda stereotyping acually. on another note, decent song

[Gamushara]

Eh, whatever...Live's version is better.

[num21md]

He Likes Live haha, Man, he sounds better then the original.. its my second favourite live song :D

[dilharre]

Yea, because magni is from iceland, it means he personally endorses the killing of whales, celebrates the torture of whales and even induldges in the act himself. Good conclusion to come to 'trundasheep'.

Stupid fuckin loser.

[crizpie]

tundrasheep you fucking retarded ?

[tundrasheep]

Why does Iceland continue to kill whales?

-They do it in a pathetic attempt to hold onto the past so that they can continue to identify with their bloody legacy of whaling.

-It is a blood sport to them and a way of indulging in the sadistic pleasure of killing whales and thumbing their noses at other nations.

-Killing whales is the pursuit of little people with small minds with a lust to destroy creatures more intelligent and more beautiful than themselves.

[Dannidd8989]

Are you mentally retarded or something ?? You really think people get pleasure out og killing whales ? its just a way to get money just like killing other fish you asshole!!!!!

[Mr666motherfucker666]

dude who gives a fuck about whales...? dude all they do is eat OUR fish that we should be eatin! fuckin whales...ICELAND RUULES!

[dopamiine]

you know, not all of us support whaling.

wrong place to comment on that anyway... and please open your eyes, greenpeace isn't all jolly and nice.

[Doglovers6]

Fuckin Awesome

[xgirlofglassx]

better than the original.

[XLNTCASUAL]

@xgirlofglassx Yes sir.

[jordihofman]

wow hes hot hehehehehe

[DabbiDenon]

what happened to this guy? He played in Iceland for a while but i havent heard a thing from him in a very long time now.. Has he quit the show business or just not going that public.

[MagnusFinn]

Hes just playing in Iceland now. After that show he had a huge battle with himself, i guess he just had to discover himself or something. He and his "wife?" broke up and stuff. But i think they are back together now.

[freakystyleymofo]

whatever everybody from the competition was amazing

[TheAceofNate]

him, toby, and ryan were the best

[nathen14]

awesome

[glynsgoods]

he should of won, instead of the other gay dude.

[iamthematador]

given how bad the bad was, i'm GLAD he didn't win

[fightingfoos]

I loved it but its a shame and its a wonder how he managed to make the song so short. But gives him less time to get to the parts where he can scream, which is good. I wish I was watching the show when it was on, sadly it got on my nerves because it looked so fucking fake. Plus, the winner didn't do shit.

[drfredjones]

on the show, they have a limited time slot so every song is shortened to a verse-chorus-bridge-chorus sturcture

[fightingfoos]

Usually when I watch him the transition is seamless from one part of a song to the next to keep it short but this time I totally noticed when he skipped ahead in the beginning, because it was so quiet.

[rocklove021]

que buena voz.. ya me imagino cantando "I Alone"

[Ridfaderz]

anyone knows where I can get "It´s not about us" song from magni?? please, it´s in the name of love

[gslifelix]

i love both versions.. magni's acoustic version is better, but the electryfied version is waaay better from the original band.. but well.. magni is from iceland.. so am i, and his sister is a good friend of mine :))))

but my opinion is.. Live is better..

[Ingi57]

even the singer of Live would like this 1

[Ingi57]

ok.... any 1 who says that LIVE version of this fucking great song is not fucking awesome knowes absolutely nothing about rock and fucking roll..........................­......

[lcplcarr]

Live is 1000x better, no one can sing them like Ed

[jucinsky]

DUKA

[ddrosos]

I still prefer the original one....He is good of course!!!!But Live are far better!!!!!!

[eplabaka]

Magni is from iceland:D me2:D

[lumpydawg2]

A+++++

[mikaoj74]

maybe its about, faith, nature, love or something?.. If you think these are strange lyrics, -have you heard Nirvana or maybe Pearl jam fore instans.

The Band!! LIVE (its the bands name! Live) is a good band, and Magni does there song, dolphins cry, justice.

[mastorito7]

PERFECT!! Great singer ..

[kindwolf1]

My english might not be perfect, is he singing

"love will lead us, alright

love will lead us, she will lead us

can you hear the dolphin's cry?

see the road rise up to meet us

it's in the air we breathe tonight

love will lead us, she will lead us"?

If he does, wtf does it mean? Some crazy shit?

[MastersCall]

1:26 goosebumps

[sabin7373]

i've never heard this song before this performance and man i fell in love with it. Magni is awesome he definetly should have won.

[villignr]

Nice seeing that not just us Icelanders like him,sad that he didnt win but I think it was just beacause he had just had a child and they didnt wanna mess him up or sumth=)

[anggasaragih1114]

no, not because of that, no offense, magni's voice is great, but its just generic, and not what supernova was looking for

[kevinvestfossen]

amazing :D

[wertykahdsg]

You are awesome!!! I think this is the best version of this song that I have heard!!

[ginaozzy66]

this is beautiful ty for sharing!

[mistorsunshine]

Alright Iceland!

USA has a lot to learn from them~

Great vid, such a great performance for vocal-acoustic only.

[sexysonia27]

i think that he sings this song better than "LIVE" did he is friggin awesome and i was sooo pissed that he didn't win

[CancerLoudMouth]

It takes a truly talented person to be able to have that much strength in the voice singing with JUST an acoustic guitar... he's amazing... and even better live!

[roastedlampost000]

Unreeeeeaaaaaal!!!!!!

[RockinRonni69]

as far as talent is concerned,magni was by far the best singer in the competition

[MetalFlowsInMyVeins]

I personally think that the final two should have been(insert drum roll)...Magni and Toby...easily the two best on the show!!!

I also heard that they became good friends during this competition...It takes talent to recognize talent...

[salamani]

Haha, I live it that they show his wife and child (00:04)

He's Icelandic, I'M icelandic, AND my brother's name is also MAGNI!!! YEAH!!!

BTW, he rocks!! He should've won!!

[elisabet123]

I'M PROUD OF BEING ICELANDIC <3

He's the fucking beeeeeeeeeest !!!

He should have won or at least been in the 2nd or 3rd place, definitely.

I've spoken to him :D muhahahahah *bragbrag*

[jochan2]

Realmente...excelente cover.... excelente cantor... Greatest Band, long live rock n roll !!

[brownthunda35]

WHATEVER live kills this guy, i mean hes good but he annoys the hell out of me

[salamani]

WTF??? WHYYYYY???

He's awesome! He's funny, he-- wait... is it because he's bold or something? This makes me be proud of being icelandic!!

[DaveFZ1]

Magni has one of the great rock voices. The guy rocks. Period.

[JUNSKI517]

agree... better then the original i have seen live in concert many times and i love them

but this is amazing and sexy!!

[NewAgeHeroBMW]

Best performance of the entire show. Also, a better version of the song than the original.

[marcellustf]

lukas and magni are like electric dynamite

[pqgmama]

man! i still love to listen to him sing. i really missed that show this year.

[tigernole1]

PERFECTION!

[jharlidjian]

Great song and very nice version !!! ;-)

[jj201]

He was the best contestant on that show!

[lillhojen]

how far did he goo in this competition?

[Giffill]

He came 4:th

[lillhojen]

who won?

[Giffill]

Lukas Rossi

[lillhojen]

too bad, but i hope magni gets a group together and plays, that voice is GOLD

[malevolentforce]

Easily the BEST performance on the show!!!

[PesiCool]

Magni's from my country Iceland :)

[Heidur94]

I'm also ffrom there

You rock Magni

[AxelNZice]

magni was definatly the best

[Brujis67]

For me he wa the best in the show, I voted for him since the begining and I wanted to know if he has recorded any song after Rock Star. Please let me know.

[binnulingur]

he has a band called Á Móti Sól

[2304963079]

heh he is my uncle

þú ert lang bestur magni!

[tigernole1]

PERFECT!!!!!111111111111111111­1

[hozzi12]

this guys name is magni and hes from Iceland! im so proud cus im from iceland too. cant believe he didnt win. he josh and toby rand were the best!

[Kjalli]

By FAR the best performance in that competition.

[BallinSuperstar]

speaking from experiance... singing in front of that many people without just your guitar is not easy. so thats what makes this performance pretty brave.

[jayhemi]

anybody got the tabs for how he's playing it

[griffse]

He is playing the album version 1/2 step lower. Live plays it the same way Capo 1.

[gopolago]

His growl is so pure- it doesn't seem lost in an acoustic set. He shifts from his usual singing voice to the the growl seamlessly. The falsetto is a bit weak, but the growl is SUPERB.

[xODYESSEYx]

not bad

[1satya]

I like this version better than the one by the originators "Live", even though it's abbreviated...Magni is too good for Rockstar Supernova! Lukas SUCKS!!!

[lex606]

I can't beleive this guy didn't win!

[andyboredbutawake]

should have won without a doubt. Awesome cover ... like to have seen Lukas Rossi try this.

[Danklin24]

He did pretty good. He could have sang the "The way your bathed in light" part a little harder though like Ed.

[sangarj]

depressive, but good, really good.

[alphasnake]

Holy SHIET~!!!he's too damn good...

[ShanyRF]

*drool* i listen to this song 10 times a day never gets old!

[ShanyRF]

He is sooooo good!

[ShanyRF]

My god I love this song because of him! I listen to it 4-5 times a day now! MY GOD SO GOOD!

[gauja]

I loved it !!! He's the beeest :D hehe ... it was amaizing!!..

Regards from Iceland

[xxXFluffyFrogXxx]

He's the best, he might win, no doubt about it.. ;) *kisses from Iceland* (im leaving kisses everywhere i go now lmao)

[moviechick21]

amazing

[jtaz87]

i was afraid he would ruin this song. but his voice is great. hit every note. love it.

[Redlans]

he will be the encore tonight!!!

[bliink16]

He did really good, better than dilana, almost up there with lukas.

[starryeyedtwit]

Better than Lukas. Magni = God.

[BirkirFMC]

almost flawless

[diedtolive]

awesome
