[JayUnit639]

One of the best covers on youtube! Awesome job man!

[cgriff96]

this is the kind of thing that makes you want to share videos, if most artists were this passionate music would be alot better

[signoraw]

I like this one more than the original!

[stepjoans]

johnboy7856, All i can say is buddy DON'T get discouraged and disgusted if you don't get anywhere with singing soon, you stick with it cause you have one hell of a voice and you will get recognized one day. You have a talent sir, and you just stick with it. You will be blessed one day. Keep it up don't give up. GREAT JOB man! BEST COVER I'VE HEARD YET!!!!

[redneckgal96]

[cobijo100]

[crazyykaykayxD]

YOU ARE REALLYY GOOD! this is beautiful singing!

[GuitarG60]

Everyone I Swear... This Guy... Well 3 Words.

NEXT...BIG...THING !

When you are famous I will in all honesty.

Buy each and every single one of your albums and singles, before anyone else.

Hope you make it to be famous you are so so talented. ~Greg

[stevereed78]

ive watched alot of your videos. awesome. you have got the talent to be up there with travis tritt garth brooks and george strait. do ur thing man

[BrandonShayMusic]

do yourself a favor and save the appogiatura ur doing at 1:18 for the end of the piece like garth does. It really helps it build to the climax. He only does verbrato the first 2 times, but adds the other notes on the final chorus. I like the additional rough vocals, though... it's a nice stylistic element.

[BrandonShayMusic]

@BrandonShayMusic and by rough i mean intense not bad lol.

[XXRiotgirl12]

will you sing with me????... loved everything about it....

[GregoryJohnsonJr]

awesome man very awesome

[CaliforniaCowboy2009]

DUDE!!!! AMAZING COVER BROTHA! :) Love the power and emotional in the vocals and guitar.

[loveneverfails0717]

Woww.. when I first clicked on the video to be honest I wasn't expecting much.. but you truly amazed me.. you sound great, if not better than the real version. Keep doing what you're doing.

[nascarsr3]

wow man, did not see that coming from you. i have to agree with the other guys, most covers suck, but this one, AWESOME! sounded just like GB. american idol is possible for you.

[johnboy7856]

@nascarsr3  Thank you so much my friend! I certainly appreciate that

[morgan7852]

Dude!! You need to go america's got talent or american idol.

[joergensgirl]

Seriously,,, I started this video thinking that "why can't anyone covering this song bring the passion associated with it" then I heard your voice, I was floored. I love it.

[johnboy7856]

@joergensgirl Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked my rendition.

[emmylouwhoooo]

This is amazing. Better than Garth Brooks, seriously. So good <3

[johnboy7856]

@emmylouwhoooo aww wow....thank you so much! <3

[MrsMonk90]

after i saw this cover i watched some of the other ones and they were all very good, keep up the good work

[tomT024]

WOW i was not expecting that kind of voice!? MOST youtube video covers straight up SUCK, and sometimes they suck just because we are used to hearing artists after they have recorded in very expensive studios, and lets face it a lot of bands suck live because they are not in a studio, but for you an average guy to pull off that song with no studio, not a good camera, and just a guitar you were GOOD and THAT is what defines a true music artist, GREAT, great job, you sound exactly like him

[johnboy7856]

@tomT024 Well I certainly appreciate that my friend. Thank you very much!

[atvsmud]

man ur good hell of a job sir

[allibabe12]

WOW!! I think that you should be doing alot more than just youtube vidoes you are amazing!!

[jazzmhabib]

Personally, I think you did a better job than Garth Brooks. Full of feeling, great job!

[johnboy7856]

@jazzmhabib That is too kind!  I don't deserve that, but I appreciate such a compliment.....Thank you!

[Mountaindewgirl94]

goood job i lov e it

[johnboy7856]

@Mountaindewgirl94 Thank you

[Mountaindewgirl94]

@johnboy7856 you should go for american idol id vote yes

[thisaintnothincody]

[johnboy7856]

@thisaintnothincody That is very kind of you...thank you very much.  I hope I am doing this for a living someday!

[apietropaula]

[johnboy7856]

[happy21joy]

[LordSperith]

Normally I don't comment on videos or watch covers but man... That blew my mind. I seriously have no words to express how I feel that haven't been used already. Keep on singing and I'll keep listening, I think I have another favorite singer.

She is so much more than a memory. Last week i woke a friend to hear that everything is alright. Every single peice of this song is really happened. And johnboy7856.. how you sing this song is really amazing. You really put your soul into this song. Thanx.. you're getting me through

[sixstringsful]

very good man

[jeg227]

Look, I'm a huge music buff, and I especially like covers because it shows raw, good talent from people who aren't recognized. To you, my friend, I say this: You are amazing.

[potatolicker]

Big man, with a name like John Rainey and the look I was sure you were from my neck of the woods in Ireland, speaking for the dedication changed that assumption!

Love the GB covers, keep me entertained most nights when I'm working away here. Good to see someone who's consistently strong with them as well. You're the only decent cover of a number of Garth songs on YouTube (not to mention the others like Jason Mraz etc) - keep up the good work!!

[WhitandJP]

i think your the best on here man sing more

[kaboomforlife]

awesome job... seems like you put alittle rock into it... which is great... if you sing the same way they do, youll never make it through life... so putting your own style in it is amazing... keep up the good work... and maybe we will see you on american idol..:)

sincerely

Brittany and Josh...

[johnboy7856]

@kaboomforlife Thank you Brittany and Josh. I certainly appreciate that. I'm glad you like my cover ;~)

[flop2river]
