  • This is amazing. This would be wonderful in better quality, particularly the vocals.

  • that was rad

  • i like your flashing lights version but this is really bad, not your singing, it's amazing but this song doesnt work on piano

  • i admit..i need some work on that piano arrangement, though i do think it would sound sick with a beat in the background, no?? i need suggestions on how to record it properly on soundforge :D

  • idk how you could make this song better on piano, but i'd love to see you make another flashing lights video because the audio didn't get much of your vocals. can you request songs? like apologize by one republic?

  • props bro, A+

  • i seriously love this A LOT.

  • Pretty good man

  • POedgamer a cover doesnt need to sound full the same as the main one and this is a great cover and defsoulchild88 keep up the great work and make more vids ...peace out

  • Yeah, but why cover it if it's going to be completely different notes?

  • are you retarded? thats what most covers are...

  • its called a cover. its not supposed to sound the same... do you know what a cover means? he's COVERING the song in his version.

  • Yes, covers usually do sound the same. Covering just means it's not the original musician playing the song. It doesn't mean it has to be completely different keys and notes, and not have any of the same rhythms in the song.

  • dude, stfu. Wheres your cover? Why don't you go play WoW or something you nerd.

  • Where's my cover? Obviously not trying to play one on the fucking piano. And I don't play WoW, so get the fuck out, you failure.

  • Failure?..I'm a Tech Sgt. In the USAF at 26. I'm by no means a failure. You, on the other hand, apparently have nothing better to do than to shit on peoples attempts. Because you are probably a wee little man. Good luck in life. You will probably need it, unless you inherit your daddy's fortune, prick.

  • Tech Sgt, you faggot.

  • Thats all you could come up with? Saying my title then calling me a faggot?

    Boy you really had to think down deep to pull that off eh? Is that refrigerator material at your household? or box or w/e

  • fuck you

    post a video of you doing it better so we can all laugh at you

  • I play piano, but I know that you can't play Paper Planes on piano. The chords are completely different.

  • ^^he just played it so obviously you can

  • awsome job man ! keep it up ! btw do u have sheet music for this ? or was it by ear ?

  • not bad that was pretty good im gonna learn this song now haha

  • this is a hard song to cover, but you did an amazing job at it! your voice is really good, and the fact that you did it on a piano instead of a guitar is brilliant.

  • ur really good for trying to cover this song. the piano is a little too loud, and i think you should have done something interesting for the bang bang part or w/e, but other than that its great. ur such a great singer.

  • freaking awesome!!!

  • i wish i could sing..

  • hey ralph, i mean RV, val showed me this vid, ur talented dawg

  • Your voice is mad hot.

  • I really don't think this is a great song to be covering. It's just not that type of song. I've heard so many and they just sound weird.

    Kudos for originality, but it still doesn't cut it for me.

  • i lovee your voice :D

  • wow..

    great job dude.

  • that's fucking SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKK like cancer... awesome job dude!

  • i love this shit

  • Damn good cover my friend

  • i can't believed you class'd up the song like that, great job!!!!

  • wow, got sheet music? hah. if not, let us know what the chords are :]

  • dude your voice is nice

  • Great job man, takes some creativity and guts to do something like this.  I thought you were going to fail with this but I'm glad I listened to it. Once again, great job.

  • good job, but this song need a hip hop swung eighth-note feel, so good playing and singing, but rhythmically u need to change it to a latin or hip hop style, not smooth alternative

  • your okay

    but alot of people can sing like that

    so you need something Speacial

  • learn to spell 'special' before criticizing :]

  • Amazing. I never imagined it with a piano either. Wow

  • When I first heard this song, I never imagined it sung with a piano. It sounds so goooood!

  • real good cover. turn on the light for your next video.

  • that was sick

  • nice

  • Why did you even watch it then?

  • He had to watch it before he realized that it he didn't like it. Wouldn't it be more judgemental if he said it sucked without watching the video? He's entitled to his opinion.

  • really good :]

  • learn to play the acoustic

    the piano butchered the song

  • DUDE. YOU FUCKING ROCK

  • You missed the soul of the song,

    you didn't try to replicate the gunshot sound,

    you missed the feel of the song,

    but you sing really fucking good.

    Seriously you should audition for american idol or something.

  • Missed the soul? this guy is nothing BUT soul!
