"Like a Star" - Von Smith - Corinne Bailey Rae

[jwazzz]

He's the best - if the American Idol rumors are true and that's what it takes to get him the audience he deserves then I can't wait for the next season. The restraint he shows in this song proves to me that he can mature into a truly great singer. Finally, as much as I love "And I'm Telling You" (it's how I found him in the first place) this one shows him in a much better light. Here's hoping that 2009 is his breakout year.

[ealfaro19]

OH boy... Really amazing! Since that song... I'M YOU'RE FAN.

[ealfaro19]

Jajaja sorry. I'm YOUR fan...

[idiotbunnyproduction]

the video is kind of lame, but he has a beautiful voice. so yea.

[DiamondKwest]

Not tryin to sound racist. . . He is the white Maxwell singing this song.

[tallrob11]

i hope the spoiler reports are true and Von made it thru Hollywood rounds in American Idol!!!!!!  Go Von!

[machonacho24]

[musicmania15]

His version is better than Corrines lol

And he is sexy on legs and boy can he sing.

He has one of the best males voices i have ever heard and with such ease.

[mereehtaah]

[blkdiimondz]

[tiana1017]

[resedebe]

This performance is TREMENDOUSLY CAPTIVATING, i enjoy listening to it so much! Your AWESOME!

[SweetBabyGirl1982]

love this video.. nicely done myu friend

[fredericwhite]

With this performance, Von demonstrates great vocal control and delivers a sensitive vocal performance that reminded me of the great late Marvin Gaye. His range was perfectly showcased yet did not become the centerpiece of the melody.

[viiviia]

1:30 amazing von.you blow my mind. keep on singing you are great!!

[pgsboy]

It's too bad he's not that attractive!! Chipmunk cheaks.. Fair singer though..

[alwy15]

i think he's really cute

[mereehtaah]

I AGREE...

[smilelkumeanit26]

[labandadelrobel]

[marymla]

!!!GIVE ME THE CD, I WANT THE CD!!!

[jwazzz]

My favorite song of his - so far. How about some more?

[italianvoice]

amazing voice, one of the best american young talent with jennifer hudson, beyonce and fantasia. another ones are all from american idol, this progam really make good choice: the chose is only x talent and not fot beauty or another things!

[DMaria13]

He takes every song and makes it his own, many times, better than the original. He pours his heart & soul into every song and that's what touches our heart the most. Incredible range & diversity! PLEASE, SOMEONE GIVE HIM A RECORDING CONTRACT SO WE CAN HEAR MORE OF VON SMITH!

[ejsky3]

I LOVE THIS!!! this is awsome, because it shows that von has such a big range! it sounds soooo good, because he isnt straining.. when he strains, thats when it sounds weird...but his is AWSOME!!!

[TheAsh88]

this is like 20 times better than the original and the original version is pretty good

[brinkleysammy]

He has a great voice and is very versitile. Going from And I Am Telling You to this song is such a change. Keep adding videos, I love listening.

[DuranieDude]

i fess'.. i have a huge man-crush on von..

[h2r8]

wow he is amazing the voice its wow !! i like it lol

[SleepyGypsy]

Record this already would you. Sell it online if you have to. I could listen to this all day and I do. Perfectly sung...WOW I simply love your voice.

[sweetesttaboo2k]

So beautiful! 5 stars!

Much Love, And Many((((Hugs))))

Sheryl:)

[bobhopetyler]

Thank you for such a beautiful rendition. You are a star. Keep up the good work.

Bob

[sarramlozano]

this dude is the future! incredibly talented and must say photography was excellent as well!

[tommysira]

I would like you'll make another clip like that. Wonderful

[ayshia2u]

it took a bit to warm you up, but when you get there you are hot!, the ending was so very soulfull, i dont think the song was nearly long enough i could just listen to the ending for hours, really nice

[LuvMiAzIAm]

YOU ARE GREAT, please keep singing, would love to hear a cd from you!!!!

[only1miouo]

even tho the video is WAY ameteur, your voice is SO AMAZING. I really hope you have a recording or distribution contract of some sort! You are so very talented!

[Sianara001]

Best male white voice I have EVER heard

da video is a bit of a joke tho

STOP DOIN IT JOKINLY AN DO IT 4 REAL!! cs ur sik m8 ;)

[nwachukwua]

please tell me we'll be seeing a cd shortly

[Kkentishtown]

There is always a problem with musicians and neighbors; that's the principle reason musicians busk in subways.

.

Any cash (or sandwiches) obtained is secondary.

cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[erik400]

Heaven to here.

When is there a CD out of this great singer??

Can`t wait for that.

[MarchianoNL]

Why hasn't he been on Oprah's you tube yet???

And when is he gonna post some new video's??

Please don't stop what your doing!!!

[kizzy6904]

WOW........

[soberlin]

3:33 to 3:38 is fucking orgasmic

[trewingo01]

[boynxtdr187]

Holy shit kid! that voice! and that video! how the fuck arent you signed?! anytime you feel the need to come sing to me, IM DOWN...

[sexisaweapon68]

I know I would by his CD in a minute

[sexisaweapon68]

Very gifted, or is it just me, but there is something about this kids voice that reminds me of George Michael ( who is an incredible live performer). Good luck Von I know you will go far!

[lontane]

no, it's not just you.. it's the overdubs I think

[tommysira]

All I can say is, Fantastic. Thanks

[jylolino]

beautiful song and beautiful song...

Just like a star you sing powerfuly, I've some freaks XD

[cwoman123]

[twanbiz2]

man i cant believe this dude..he is crazy...he needs to be out makin music for the world to hear pronto

[daimn]

Fantastic.

[beaufornillos]

Ooo Wow! Where was I? Why didn't I came across with this Great talent before. I've been "Youtubing" for a year now. And it's my first time hearing Von. And I love his version of this song soooo much!

[lordkazama86]

3 things. First, great singer. second, if you randomly broke into song on the street like that near me, id hit you. Lastly, is that a damned CASSETTE PLAYER he was holding...wtf man?

[xxxcarmelbwxxx]

i agree he would have scared me on the street breaking out into song! lol

[cdm0014]

i think he has to listen to the song somehow to match the sync

[xxxcarmelbwxxx]

sing von !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[Yanipooh]

I love von and i've been watching since the very start and he's always getting better. The expression he has is something many singers only wish they had. That said just a constructive piece of advice not meant to belittle in anyway.

[Yanipooh]

I've observed that you start many of the songs in tenor and bass and then change to the soprano or alto range in the 2nd verse i don't think it is always needed. But that said this is much better than some of the shit on radio now and you deserve to be up there with all the whitney's and babyfaces. Go von!!

[Harmonee301]

I meant to also add your incredible.

[Harmonee301]

Justin TimberWHO!

[RemyMartyn]

just amazing....

dont think anyone can sing like you

(and be so cute)

[y49]

Check out for yoursexymatch*com sexyy hot babes..

[malikablair]

[bobhopetyler]

THIS GUY IS GREAT. rEMINDS ME OF SAM HARRIS!

[felipe562]

my every day "must listen" song!

[felipe562]

cant get enough od this song!

[esk2006]

very very very nice ... I'll be keepin an eye out for this young man..tho if he's anything like Robin Thicke.. or similar artists..it might take a while!!1

I wish him all the best tho!

[elfb0y98312]

Oh please this guy is a much better singer than Robin Thicke

100 times better i think : )

[swinczewski]

Great Job Von!!!  Love your voice! Are you doing any touring?

[luloaluloa]

pretty boy,im falling in love with him

[felipe562]

i want this in mp3 audio!

how can i get it?

[ushtenme]

[felipe562]

magnific!

[princessrock87]

wow

great job :)

[lordkazama86]

Have I died and gone to heaven...Incredible I could listen to this over and over and I do...You go Vonn

[LuneKeltkar]

It's the voice, Pierre. The voice. Not the grass.

[pierre00]

Hahahaha Lol @ the 'lying on the grass' bit.

Tacky, but lovely.

[tiagrootje]

wow.....amazing!!! big aplaude from Holland:-)

[attitudecheckr]

i love it. Great job von!

[TEMEAH]

Interesting the way you mixed the sound in the video. It took some ingenius engineering too. I loved it.

[magicsnapper]

This guy's voice is incredible, the texture, tambre, he puts Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke out of the game if he was to ever come out mainstream. I wish he would soon and I pray that he shares his wonderful talent with the whole world, not just the You Tube world.

[sign543]

This was magical. I've seen the other vids...this shows that you can be mainstream, in my opinion. You have a wonderful lower register. You are going to be so big. "Watch him...and remember...I told you so."

[lazyg1rl]

he was in Oprah isn't it? Agree, why doesn't he have a recording contract.  He's great!

[lazyg1rl]

Actually it was The View :-D. I think he improved a lot from his old videos. Great work Von!

[BlancheHudson]

Just incredible! If you're not a HUGE star soon, I'm gonna be pissed.

[rasscass]

Hey from Australia - you are fantastic! Do you have a website? I tried looking..

[ritabobita2000]

WOW, really nice. You should go on american idol or something, very nice!!!

[shawn31]

Amen to JMEASWHO ...I bet he does at some point. He is so Awesome!!!!!!!

[JMEASWHO]

Incredible. Why you do not get an agreement you are a goldmine!.

Dammit

[latinoguy]

What a VOICE !!!!

Simply Beautiful.

He is also very cute but he should not wear those unattractive hats.

[gioukas2]

I love him. so sweet and maaaan he can sing

[itsjustalberto]

u r greta. very good voice.

[vitorionunca]

Man, have you got a voice...just wonderfull!

keep singing, Von!

greets from The Netherlands

[luce570]

you are not just a wonderful singer, you are also a fine musician who uses your voice like a real instrument.....fantastic!!!

[jillian0214]

U have one hell of a voice!! The way you did this song was awesome!! My family and I are already fans!!

[RaysouthChingChong]

U Can Blow

[RaysouthChingChong]

Are You From KC

[dayn215]

i love him

[brand929]

That was hot! You're a Mariah Carey fan, aren't you? ;-) I really love your voice!!!

[chyanneisme]

that was strange but i think overall goood.... just the pole thing was a lil strange

[jwazzz]

His best effort yet - I love it!!

[Kenya101]

He's beyond American Idol, if Clive Davis heard this dude, he would have a record deal by the time the song was finished...OKAY!

[rainsan]

Where in the heck is your recording contract? Geez!

[sergioluis280]

he already got one i think i read on myspace bulletin :P

[robjavier]

Damn! I'm falling for you! haha... j/k... where do you live? I wanna meet you in person. I'm from Woodbridge, VA

[couponsexpired]

he's young, goodlooking and so freakin talented, someone give this kid a record deal!!!!!

[ecsutnf]

I've said it before and i'll say it again and keep saying it till the day I die. He gives me freakin chills! I love listening to this kids voice it puts a smile on my face! I am a diehard Von Smith fan! keep rockin von!!! love ya man!

[abellasoul]

OK he is awesome, saw him on the view and been in love with his voice ever since. He should be on idol.He would win hands down. Does he have a record company? I want his CD....

[cedarchip]

Damn!! You are certainly showing huge improvement with your voice and your vids. Thanks for dropping some of the vocal gymnastics. You really don't need them anymore. When is your cd coming?

[HilarySwankfan24]

Amazing, as usual! :)

[gedacota]

I want a cd with your voice, and one day I wanna see you in concert, along with thousands being hipnotize by your voice. SERG

[SharonMysteria]

I am 61 and would buy your version of that song Von! I am following your journey and hopefully someone is going to sign you soon, so we can buy that CD of yours.

[Vonatron1]

14 G

[isper69]

Everyone say's your amazing, but the truth is you're not. I'd say you're a PHENOMENON. Can't wait to buy your first cd.

[chriswindon]

wow von amazing you got fans in the UK now :) hope you get record deal

[jisascarey]

Von...waw....again just waw! please, here in spain you have some fans....you have to do something!!!

please....go on!

[StarryEyedAngel]

Amazing is the only word I can say right now. (well, that and "wow"). I knew you had amazing range when it came to how high and low you can sing, but changing your entire sound, your entire vibe like this, and so smoothly, you're, like I said, amazing.

[jwazzz]

Loved it - more please.

[jimmayhugz]

You are awsome! Gem x

[penspeaks]

You are so amazing.. Your voice is crazy... Gotta love it!

[solarina]

1:11-1:26 is my favorite part of the song, I think his voice is so beautiful and sexy. The rest of the song is amazing, but it's almost magical right then. Either way he is obviously ready to be famous, the world needs to hear this voice!

[voicewise]

WOW! Damn Somebody get this boy a Record contract...and hurry!!!!!!

[Yaakfish9]

Your best video and performance yet!!! Your biggest fan in Bucks County, PA....Jay Paul

[zoluan]

We love your voice here in spain!!

Muchos besos desde España, tu voz es pura melodia para mis oidos!!

[vaanmaniac]

Here your voice remember Adam Lavigne (Maroon5) a lot, and I love it!!

[pigjunky]

While I enjoyed hearing you belt out the other songs in your other videos, this was a pleasant change of tone and a testament to your vocal versatility. Keep posting please!

[RandomVic]

love it and i love you

[mariijoo]

te amoooooooooooooooooooo von! :)

[Vonatron1]

14G...thats all

[Vonatron1]

If he got passed up for Idol...its for one reason...hes too good. Where would the show go after he sang...unless he sang last every week. Its funny how the people who control the music ruin it. Someone like Von comes around once and....a long time. ...

[Vonatron1]

..Ive never heard a voice like that. And hey if he can get on American Idol...good....its a fast way to get himself out there where people cant not watch him....let him use them. Everyone knows Idol is a joke. Sure its watched all over the world..and makes a billion dollars a year...but thats what music is all about right...the money. Hilary Duff can sing and make records...But Von Smith cant...I say Mike Tyson for President....

[rew3737]

NO, he doesn't need to go on AI....they already passed him up...He is gonna make it without them!!!!

[tallrob11]

they did? wow...they are morons...i have some friends who didn't get past the first ai audition and they said they could hardly hear themselves sing because there are so many people there...lol...how can they really evaluate talent??

[astronauticalism]

hehe Great!

[toppydude]

Your AWESOME !!!

are you looking for a boyfriend ?

keep up the good work

[hylite]

please come to seattle and perform some day i would love see you live i can not wait for you to have a new CD

[thatguypup]

Remember this moment Von...for it's days like these that will fortify the days ahead! nice touch!

[clillya]

Like silk! I came across your videos last year when I was looking up Jennifer Holiday. I have been a fan ever since! I love your videos, they show off your great personality. Good luck! You are such a talent.

[Hughesgold2010]

Love! That was amazing!

[ecsutnf]

great job Von! Could tell you had fun makin this! Loved it can't wait to see more!

[tylerks]

Beautiful, let us know on myspace if you ever come to Wichita!

[alix2468]

Go Lawrence, KS!!! And go Von for using it!! I really do like this song and vid btw. When did you film this?

[boscobear49]

nice!

[sparkers70]

Very impressive job of capturing the mood and 'sway' of this song. You and Corinne have that in common, an innate feel that takes other musicians decades to develop.

[LeoLaredoMusic]

VON VON VON!!! Freakin' awesome!!!! You ARE a star!!! If those label bigwigs don't sign you after this, they're nuts... I know when you get big , you better offer all your videos on DVD!! LOL...

[payette]

great work
