Jackie - Jacques Brel Cover - Tommy Wallach

[sulimith]

Excellent, really like your stories between the verses, Jacques Brel and Scott Walker would be proud.

[littledwarfsandra]

This is beyond amazing! Making a cover after Brel is no easy task, but yours is a superb interpretation: not trying to copy him (which would be impossible!) and creating your own version: he's passionate and pours his heart out singing, you're laid back and just a little bit light-hearted - original while still respecting the spirit of the song! And telling your story while singing is so nice as well! Excellent cover, I'm sure Brel himself would have liked it! :)

[jrmetmoi]

'That note meant that we were sort of dating....' ha ha haaaaaaa xD

[michelle1112003]

nice voice and piano skills!

[wbridge1802]

I really enjoyed that.  You are very talented!

[noahbwalter]

I wish I was more like this guy.

[noahbwalter]

This is one of those songs that I would like to learn keyboard just so I could play it. Good job. Truly inspiring.

[trknox]

Really nice job!

[MultiFootball123]

yh what if she saw it ?

[tom99ss]

Great! One of my favourite songs. And you do it

[surealdreams]

Do you think the girl he is talking about has seen this video?

[agerberi]

Fun to watch, great piano work too ;)

[metalmickey07]

Came across this via Bowie via Brel, you have some serious talent fella, someone give this man a recording contract!

[mercurieretrograde]

Who the HELL cares about you? I wanted to hear the g-darned song already. Never got there though because you WON'T SHUT UP!

[boinxtdor]

mad piano skills dude.

[broadwayXluver1]

its like unreal =D

[tjaktjak]

Thank you ! You made a shit day end on a high note.......... (literally :-)

All the best from the Netherlands.

[Kirrekurt1]

I think Brel didn't sing "Spanish thumb", but "Spanish bum"...

[xandivanpersie]

your shadow on the wall kinda looks like a girl with her hand on her hip dancig along...

[mylighthouse10]

omg hahaha yes

[AGentertainment]

Good stuff, dude.

[tootles4u]

Wonderful!...love it..thanks for the posting...and good luck on your career...

[robbiewf]

For the lack of a better comment, this is absolutely fabulous. I love this song and your interpretation is probably the most interesting and the best following the original. Please, please record this song for a CD!

[tiangs3ri]

Pure genius this is.

You should also check out Irishman Jack Lukeman a.k.a. Jack L's version.

[mylighthouse10]

i adore how good you are!

[pangpangpang18]

That's one of my favorite songs

[noblescaa]

A dream ticket! A duet on some numbers with Rufus Wainwright! Voices would complement eachother and sweet to the ear.

[reno59fr]

excellent, bravo

[antoneurng]

franchement, c'est excellent. La meilleure interprétation de jackie, et elle est anglaise!

Chapeau!

[snovision]

Merci! J'aime bien d'entendre de les gens francaise! (Desole pour mon francais...)

[ragujazz]

BRAVO!...thanks

[mylighthouse10]

B rilliant!

[Rhondalove]

Yeah, I've listened to all the covers - but you got Heart.

and you introduced me to Magentic Fields - the book of Love.

Talent and Heart. Bravo!

[snovision]

Isn't that song great? You should go buy the whole 69 Love Songs album. It rules.

[donchizzle]

This song is gangsta, you did a great job, probably the best i have heard so far

[oldkentroad88]

That was awesome, thanks for that! I saw jacques brel is alive and well and living in paris.. Your version is awesome :)

[lemecreant]

Great ! I'm Belgian and a big fan Jacques Brel (who by the way was Belgian, not French ;-)). I've always been desapointed by singers trying to sing Brel' songs, but your version is awesome!

Too bad there is no six stars in the rating system!

[PforPanchetta]

Wow! I stumbled onto your stuff quite by accident. Now I have to say: You are insanely talented. And. I hate you, ha ha ha ha ha.

Cheers and All The Best, inspite of my jealousy.

[snovision]

Thanks P for Panchetta, which is a great name. And to answer someone else, i've been playing piano...um...I forget. Sixteen years?

[mesmerizeme]

great piano dont like the singing just being honest!

[justsoicancomment]

HOW long have you been playing piano?!

That was fabulous!!

[robpallatina]

Class!

[Rhondalove]

I thought it was a "Spanish bum"

And... she let you get away?

Boy, was she dumb.

[donchizzle]

it is spanish bum but oh well

[snovision]

You're right! How embarrassing!

[donchizzle]

You must have been away from the internet for awhile for you to respond a month later...lol how is the music coming along?

[KokasIsland]

Good Show, I loved your performance!

[ash180587]

[dyejob]

Um, okay, so I'm kind of in love with you now.

[jjbusse]

My favorite Jacques Brel song.

Chills - really.

Thanks, Jack.

[Yoofaloof]

Anyone notice the ghostly female 'Jessica Rabbit' figure, dancing with her hand on her hip to the left of the door?

Alright, I know it's the shadow of him and his mic, but hey, it still looks weird...

[stephenetienne]

Please fill out and correct the lyrics that you provide. Thanks. Some are missing, some are wrong.

[doboramma]

Great job!

[Drai66]

You play the piano very well. The lyrics in English that you have posted with this video do not follow what you sing. I just thought I'd let you know. I like your music.

[goldenspiral1]

Wow, that was pretty amazing. Tommy Wallach meets Youtube...BRILLIANCE!

[AthuranZala]

Hey, I first watched How Ugly People Fall in Love a long long time ago, and loved your music since then. My friend told me you had new webcasts up so I checked them out ... and haha, you're one great musician and a hilarious guy. I wish you would tour a bit and maybe stop by Lawrence, Kansas?

[mikejonesab1]

I just discovered your stuff yester and i'm a big fan already

[danupbaby]

Love the new format. Also, you should cover this song for hypothetical album number two.

[scienceofrock]

that song was marvelous

[courtney903]

this is amazing. i LOVE listening to you play piano. did you ever take lessons or is that self taught?

[huliochan13]

I really. Really! Liked this song. I broke up with a guy on a note once. I felt to bad to tell him in person, but he was cheating on me so yeah...

[floatinglightbulb]

I hope my recurring praise of your awesomeness isn't beginning to dull with repetition. Maybe I should throw a false insult your way so next time my laudations will feel more novel. Okay - here goes: Tommy. You are a charlatan and a rogue and your singing is reminiscent of the sound of a Hippopotamus with a small bird lodged in its trachea. Ha! Take that! Next time you'll appreciate me!

[sinnny]

your voice is lovely and the song is great :P..x
