[andrellsv]

This is my favourite song by Matchbox 20, and your cover is by far the best i've heard!!! I love your voice, its unique :) .. expectin big things from u Mr lol xxx

[SrgMillerFilms]

Thats cool

[guitarzteenz]

YOUR VOICE IS AWESOME!

[xXxPaMixXxUKxXx]

@guitarzteenz Love his voice. It has got that "thing" like that guy from Nickelback.

[crazykiefer275]

Nice cover =O. Trying to cover this song myself. Almost got it down. Gotta have it down within the next 6 houts cuz I'm playing it at an open mic tonight lol. Should be good =).

Was a bit disappointed that you left out the whole.. Idk what to call it, bridge I guess lol. Favorite part >_>.. But what you did worked too.

And whoever said you sound like Bryan Adams... ..Agreed lol. You should do a cover of Everything I Do (I Do It For You) =O.

[xxxRazzleDazzlexxx]

Beautiful (:

[Lynzmcv]

I loved this! Such a good voice... very nice tone!

good job!

I'm now a fan and off to watch your other vids... and of course- subscribe!

[vmartinsdias]

Good voice, nice choice of song to sing. Here in Brazil I am following your videos.

Congratulations.

[zzxxxlll]

awesome

[khedive99]

Your voice perfectly fits to Bryan Adams' songs ;)

Very good!

[tblegand]

very nice dude..

[knoxville42o]

I believe there are a few effects added to the voice while recording, it sounds great dont get me wrong, but with computers you can make yourself sound like pretty much anybody you want, I have a hard time believing thats played sang and recorded with such good quality on a shifty black n white webcam/microphone on his computer, what sounds like that bein played in your bedroom, come on.

good work tho u could get a job producing maybe if you work hard

[gillespiejames]

Hi Knoxsville42.

First off, let me tell u about the computer software I used to make this video. I used a MacBook, build in iSight and iMovie. The only effects are reverb and black and White. So as far as the "shiffty" part goes, I couldn't afford more at the time. I recorded it in my bedroom. After this video, I went on to record an album in a studio that I released in France and am currently recording my second album to be released in November. If u had bothered to look @ the other vids...

[gillespiejames]

U might have seen that it's my voice. If ur still not convinced, I could send u some live recordings? Or maybe some film of a large gig? As far as producing if I "work hard", come on. I've recorded, produced, mixed and mastered before. I've worked hard. Please, don't assume that u know everything about the way that I record, or assume that my voice is not that good. Its kind of pissed me off. So maybe next time, ask. Thanks.

[NerdLifeForLife]

i dont know you, but he's a dick, and he wanted to piss you off. anyway. your cover was well done.

[casza74]

@gillespiejames : Fantastic version. (and immensly considerate response, despite the blatantly rude comment above)

[jupu7]

this is really cool ;D

i love this song <3

[shnobunnie]

Man, I can NEVER get enough of Matchbox 20! Music i can listen to until i die! lol! Thanks for sharing the vid! If you have time check out another fav band of mine, they have a brand spankin new vid, just search for "Can't Hate You + Brandon Paris Band"

Thanks again!

<3 Rachel

[fairylover1234jj]

I think you should try Bryan Adam songs.

They seem to fit your voice. (: You remind me of him.

Very great cover!

[kayseebear]

wow... really talented

[MrBlackBalloon]

Awesome voice dude! You've got talent. Check out my MB20 videos if you want.

[pyramidsrsquere]

you build up to the chorus perfectly but my suggestion to you would be to give more to the chorus because its what makes the song. other then that you have a remarkable talent please keep on uploading videos.

[xflipchick05x]

holy sh*t.. you're good!

[yessirsteph]

he does kind of soun like bryan adams, but he's good

[amityjan]

beautiful, good job : )

[emi762]

Spot on...

[taizja]

awesome, it sounds so pretty =)

[noobie700]

one word to descride this is, "WOW", this is very good, you do indeed sound like Bryan Adam, T_T sad theres no link to download this

[amityjan]

he sounds like himself doing matchbox twenty, Brian Adams?

[DisportMusic]

Very good, probably the best rendition i've seen on youtube of this song although you cut off the bridge at the end. Is the sound produced and layered over the top? cause If not that's one awesome bloody ambiant mic. Also why is there an extra bar of E added at the end of the pre-chorus? I'm asking cause i've heard a heap of people do it on youtube and i'm wondering if there is a live version of this song i haven't heard that they are copying it from.

[Ladygirl187]

sexy

[coredeep]

I don't know why ! But I can feel U r telling the truth ...

[supermeat25]

You sound like Bryan Adams! Rock on dude!!!! Nice cover!

[gillespiejames]

Best comment I've ever had ;) 6 new vids coming up.. So hope u subscribe!!! Thanks again. J

[andrellsv]

@supermeat25 that's what i was about to say...he sounds like bryan adams,rod stewart and kelly from stereophonics as well!

[RipTheJakker]

that was flawless.

[Garybro16]

Loved it! Camera shy or just wanted video to show you playing? was there and echo or something that i heard? and btw this is wierd but your voice reminded me of Jaimie Walters. he was on 90210.. i'm subcribing

[Turboorav]

[krauszclaudia]

[Michellehprocks]

I really like this song. It's the first time I've heard it, but, well... It's a great song!

[eXoRz]

Wow! love this one, really great cover... Soft and calm without any bragging... Really like it! it`s sweet and emotional. More of this type! Great work you :)

[nickyruth]

Omg! what can I say? Im speechless! Amazing Job!

[nikkimaxwell]

You kinda remind me of Bryan Adams.

[5ohmustang]

absolutely... i was sitting here thinking of who he reminded me of, and you're right!

[Oni2K]

Great cover, but the chorus is missing something.

[Lordoblivion7]

harmony? lol

[b4apathy]

geezus... your voice just adds that missing something that everyone else lacks @_@ ive been looking for a good cover for this and this is the one that tops them all. kudos

[maireadikins]

Personally i think your amazing :)

[bayarea78362]

Oh my god!!! Your voice!!! I would pay to hear you play. Awesome!

[paullll666]

[cmonroe98]

[12priscilla34]

your voice has something about it that makes this entire video so good.

[Caiti4]

nice cover, i like your voice!

[vballhottie896]

hey ur really talented, i love ur voice! keep it up

[yougotmalk]

loved it man..way to go..:-)

[crazballer]

nice voice you have! but you can only reach a certain level of yr voice... no power at the chorus part

[blerton1982]

You are just awesome !!

[stringsnap]

its good except, i have the recorded music book for "more than you think you are" and you version is completely wrong which is ok but im not sure if you know that

[bennyjy]

Hi James, your version of Unwell is awsome! I had a look at some of your other video and your voice sounds great.. I am new to this whole Youtube thing but I'm so impressed with a lot of unsigned artists like yourself that are posting videos.. Wish you the best of luck man. I did a video for my family with some snippets of MB20 songs if you want to check it out.. cheers

[ebenoanie]

awesome cover man!!! best one i heard so far

[diehard1384]

great job i admire anyone who has the love of music ive been watching videos and i think i may start playing again

[filho925]

OMFG nice voice...

where is the banjo ^_^

[kylemac73]

well done

[kpoliks]

I love your voice!

[dacorsua]

yeah dude, your Voice is brand new, never heard such a voice, if you work on the high notes to clear that noise you'll do fine!

[ilove20seven]

also, the chorus really sucked. but you did a good job all in allll i think.

[ilove20seven]

i like your voice. but, it's uncomfortable to listen to because it feels like you're not..idk pushing it out, ya know? its like, ERRk get it out!sing!

kinda like when someones talking with a stuffy nose and makes your eyes water...maybe idk

[kitanel]

i adore your voice

[restartthecomputer]

where the intro?

[sebbann90]

xcellent you are amazing

can you post the chords please

[OldOx]

xcellent xcellent

can you post the chords please

thankyou

[ernzty]

geez awesome voice

[CloudIani]

Wow,not bad at all!!!

Are you trying to add a bit hoarseness to your voice?

Try for some more body/warmth instead.

....just my oppinion

[0419B9]

I like the hoarseness.

[luckystrike9]

Still my fav :) ...

[Axx18]

For fuck sake man, you've got a amazing voice... keep it up!

this is my favorite song now ;p btw, I like this version much better than the original.

[bandit53059]

Very nice....don't like folks messing with MB20, but DAMN, way to give it justice. You did a very nice job...maybe time to check out more of your work :)  Keep it up

[ytligt]

i think im in love

[kurtcobayn]

reverb

doesn't bother me

nice version

[awiley87]

wow that was a lot of revibe in the settings of your mic

[buzzbynoonah]

I agree with allmusiclover69. I really like it. One of the best covers I've found.

[allmusiclover69]

I really like the way you shape it to your style. You made it your own even with your scratchy. That's what makes you unique .

[MyBigRecordDeal]

well done man

[LostmomentLostmind]

I like this!

it's one of my fave songs.

I think your voice sounds just a bit scratching at some points. But other than that I think you kick ass!
