Usually, when someone does an impression of one of my favorite artists, even if they're quite good at it....they certainly fall short of the original. Mr. Riks' performance is so electrifying and DEAD-ON, I feel like I've discovered a rare Bowie bootleg.
Thanks for agreeing - it's a pity YT took down Mr Stevie Riks' version of The Man Who Sold the World - which sounded so eerily like Bowie, he'd have accepted him as his long-lost twin bro... I'm pretty sure that the spoofed stars enjoy being parodied, I mean there's a lot of affection in good parody, see the late great Peter Cook's efforts. Cheers for now and let's keep Stevie in cyberspace...
I bow to you Mr Stevie - genius . You should have your own TV programme - absolutely fantastic , lost for words at this stage . 5 and favourite to all your videos so far and cant see it changing . Your one of the most talented people on U tube I have ever seen
I must admit I didn't know this song (shame, shame), but I looked up the original, and decided that Stevie's version is really good! The only difference I could make out was that the original had a stronger rock sound, due to the backing music - but the voice, well - at least as good as the real thing !!
isn't B7 and D7 is just B and D, but u did great, not funny but nice voice cover.

Bowie goes Reed ending up as Mr Stevie Riks - who happens to outclass both.
TheJester1962 2 years ago
Your right he does sound like a combination of Reed and Bowie.

I could not agree more. I am sure the people Stevie parodies enjoy it. Stevie is The King Of Youtube.

Uncanny ! If Stevie only did Bowie that would be amazing in itself but all his impressions are equally amazing. He's amazingly amazing and
that was the Queen Bitch of Queen Bitch.
Superb
