  • I adore you and your music! Please don't ever stop recording! I'm glad i found your youtube channel! It would mean the world to me if you responded. It's my birtday tomorrow :-)

  • This is so beautiful it brought me to tears,

    thank you Gavin x love from England x

  • You are one of the most amazing artists I've heard in a long time! I love your voice! Def happy I subscribed!! :) Keep it up!

  • Sheet music would actually be amazing if you dont mind.. this is probably the best cover ive ever seen!! keep it up :)

  • U are awesome ... keep singing and 1 day hopefully ur songs will be on the radio

  • you are amazing!!!!!!!!

  • Hey!

    I'm from Germany and actually I'd say my english is not too bad, but right now I'm speechless.

    This cover is absolutely amazing! Though I do have the album of Adele I have to admit that your interpretation touches even more. I'm just fighting back my tears.

    Wow, if you understood German this comment would be so much longer, full of thankful phrases because of this cover. Though this song was hyped that much you made me see it from a different perspective. Thank you!

  • Just out of pure curiosity, do you think it would be possible for you to take a metal song like something by Slipknot and make it sound like this, as one of your covers? Thanks :)

  • perfeito

  • Hello!

    I have listened to some of your songs and I must admit I was really impressed by your interpretations of songs, which, i thought before, are no longer possible to change, because there are already hundreds of versions of, for instance, Someone Like You. But your one is, how to say that, very true, authentic.

    Anyway, tell me, please, do you also have your own songs? You seem to be very talented guy and it wouldn't be a surprise for me if one day I'll hear you in some radio station!

  • @AilMr Awesome of you to say that, AilMr. And, yeah... I actually have several original albums as well. My most popular album to date is 'Like Normal People Do' - you can see all of my albums at itunes (dot) gavinmikhail (dot) com or spotify (dot) gavinmikhail (dot) com Thanks for wanting to check them out!

    Hope you're doing great, AilMr....

    Gavin

  • @gavinmikhail

    plz cover "Cat and Mouse by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus" your voice would be amazing to it..

    keep the good work up =)

  • Your amazing Gavin love your voice :) you are such a talented singer!! Come to Australia :)

    wishing you an awesome new year 2012.

    Love and light,

  • Gavin i love all of your music and i think that you are an amazing singer and i love all of your remakes and i just wanted to say i think that you should listen to some Skillet songs and i think that you would =like them and would sound amazing singing them

  • not only do i find you admirable because of your incredible voice and covers, but because you acknowledge and appreciate your fans. you're amazing at what you do, keep it up bro. <3

  • <3

  • You bring this song very well (!) : You put your emotions in this song (though..that's what i see..XD)

    Just don't stop with these covers..!

  • Absolutely amazing:)

  • I wish you'd stuck with the original chord progression in the verses. I realize you're playing it in E flat, and Adele's is in A. It sounds too simplified with only the two chords back and forth, though.

    Vocally, I absolutely LOVE what you did with it. Your choice of phrasing was great. :)

  • you're not even playing the right chords 

  • favorite version of this!

  • me ancantaaa!!!!

  • HE actually showed emotion

  • you create your own song! thats nice :-) i like it

  • Trying to be constructive, I found it a little indulgent and the slowing of the tempo added to that for me. I didn't care that the character was hurt, it felt a little whiny. When we got to around 5mins in, it suddenly had all these brilliant shades of anger and jealousy and passion, which was awesome, just took a while to get there for me. It's tough work covering such a well known song with your own edge. I wish you all the best with your music though.

  • I wish to hear My Chemical Romance's "The Kids From Yesterday". I think it has also a deeper meaning than it seems at first. That would be cool but if not- yeah, then not. Don't make me think so much, Gavin. I don't want to think about it all.

  • Every time I look up covers, I find myself on Gavin's page. Gavin you are by far my favorite cover artist and your original stuff is great too. You bring your own style to everything you sing, you've made other songs your own and also you put heart to your songs.

  • Your voice is simply angelic...I can't tell you how much I love your music, Gavin <3 I was never a big fan of Adele, but you've shed a whole new light on this song. Thank you for doing what you so, and I wish you the best :)

  • I feel connected to this particular song because it expresses exactly what I'm going through... and I cannot thank you enough, Gavin, that you make it so beautiful to endure with your voice and the music as a comforting masterpiece.

  • I was starting to hate this song because it's been over played... but good job Gavin you've single-handedly redeemed this song for me!

  • AMAZING!

  • I remember all those years ago when I was still on MySpace and some guy just messaged me about you. :D I regret nothing. You've come so far. <3 Keep making beautiful music.

  • Fabulous rendition. Thank you!

  • You know what would just be truly amazing?? If you did a version of Wedding Bells by Coldplay...I would probably continue to stay in heaven with all of your wonderful videos making my day. :) Pretty please?

  • I have to admit your version I like better

  • my goodness this is so beautiful :) thankyou gavin, you are amazing!

  • Beautiful cover! I ♥ it!

  • Thank you Gavin.

    Brilliantly done.

  • Your voice makes me smile incredibly. Thank you for blessing me with this audible gold (:

  • Wow this was amazing!! It seriously made me want to cry!

  • you really should do fix you gavin its my favorite song and you have my favorite voice great combination.

  • I'm glad I've subscribed to hear this

  • @furytanka Me too, fury... me too... (haha :)) Seriously, thanks for subscribing (and for saying that). Hope you're doing great.

    Gavin

  • ok I haven't got words for this! It's just wonderful and a privilege to listen to your covers and songs <3

  • Well done, Its a brilliant song! I love the style of singing you use! But, The pauses between the phrases sorta drags the song out of time.... BUT apart from that, absolutley amazing... Liked + Subscribed + Reaction = Incredible

  • BEAUTIFUL - that is all!

  • hi:) it's a very good cover I sooo liked it:) could you please check out mine, too? it's just two clicks to you but it means a lot to me:)

  • realy good version =)

  • meraviglioso!!!!!!!!!

  • He's actually been putting out albums for several yrs. now- just wish I wouldv'e known of him sooner- apparently doesn't do the advertisement approach like some of the other famous artists-using word of mouth to me says so much-- his followers, they are up in the millions- The numbers speak for him..So sooo talented.. "I wish nothing but the best for you" Gavin~ (from his album-"Someone Like You".

  • @clwilson1958 You really are so sweet, Cheryl. Thank you so much for saying that... I try not to go the 'advertising' route (and honestly, I think that might hurt more than help :))... but to me, at least, I'd rather leave it up to you, the listener. If you like what I do, great. If you don't, that's ok too. But, it's your call if you want to listen to my original work, subscribe, etc...

    Anyway, just wanted to say thanks (to you and everyone else who's posted comments)... thank you.

    Gavin

  • I was invited to google+ by Gavin~where I was introduced to his music~immediately I was hooked and have been sharing his talent. I had no idea he even existed-but so glad he invited me into his world of music. He has a lot of credits behind him-MTV, music featured in movies, etc..-check out his profile!! God has blessed him with an amazing talent for singing and, as a pianist. Thank you for sharing Gavin~and inviting me to your world on G+ ~ congratulations on the arrival of Raiffe.)

  • You really should do crack the shutters - snow patrole

  • Please do: Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Your Guardian Angel (or Fix You)

  • better than the original

  • This is so much better than Adele's version it's ridiculous.  She sounds like she's straining through most of the song, which isn't pleasant to listen to. I lovelovelovelove this version!!!!

  • you made a great song even better

  • dude probably gets hella pussy lol

  • Sorry man, I really don't want to sound rude by saying 'You are doing your best in making this tasteless melody shine". But still I'd better listen to your performance again. Also, I subscribed to your pages. So, please send me your precious videos again.

  • great cover

  • I'm sorry.. I love Gavin but this can't even compare to Adele

  • OK rendition. I enjoyed his piano playing so much more.

  • It's so amazing. Really. I'm addicted to your voice and need to listen to your songs everyday:) It sooo full of passion!! I'm out of words!

  • wow great song choice to cover! good voice, great piano playing!

  • I hate Adele's version, and this song annoys me so much, but when you do it, it's so perfect that I wish Adele could hear it so she knows how it should be... no disrespect to Adele...

  • wassup dawg?!

    

  • This is so amazing, you're really good!!

  • I am simply in love with this song... <3 Thank you so much Gavin!

  • Great tone to your voice, phrasing impeccable, feeling palpable, sensitivity and appreciation! and outstanding piano playing! You got the whole package mate!!

  • Wow this is amazing singing and playing piano at the same time that is really amazing. Please make more covers! They are amazing!

  • good job bro

  • Gavin, that was so beautiful... I cried! :') Everytime I watch & listen to your videos, it really makes me miss my piano... You are my inspiration.

  • Gavin, you're amazing... I'm a HUGE Kelly Clarkson fan... please cover her music... I promise you will gain millions of fans... I'll make sure they get posted in the fan clubs.. great job

  • i love that you sing this by your own style.....it s very beautiful.....

  • @arobeerta ~ I know! RIGHT! That's what I said... He's been performing for more than 12 yrs.! (Read his bio..) I was introduced to his music a few wks ago when he invited me to g+. Really glad he did... I have been so hooked and sharing it ever since... ~ His talent and passion when performing just blows me away...

  • Wow..In my opinion, this song becomes a lot deeper when you sind it with so much passion, I love to listen to your covers!

  • You've got me singing along :D :D

  • Loved it <3

  • Truly an amazing job! I was blown away.

  • Gavin you're truly amazing. I doubt if there's any song out there that you couldn't turn into best cover ever. Pleasure to listen since day one.

    Greets!

  • Have you ever considered singing with others? If so look me up, i wouldn't mind a duet man!

  • I love this! You are so great and I am jealous. This is such a beautiful song.

  • Wow, really nice

  • Oh my God. I didn't really care much for the original song but I nearly cried by the first minute of this video...

  • Amazing song, Amazing playing and singing(As always). I love this song, and Adele...She knows how to belt it out yo! :)

  • Best cover on Youtube! :) ♥

  • Brilliant.

  • SPEECHLESS.

    i agree with a comment below,do fix you by cold play or skyscraper by demi lovato

  • Im here before a million views! Nice video!

  • this man never ceases to give me chills!!!

    another amazing, brilliant, personalized rendition~

    thanks gavin for keeping me updated!!~

  • Gavin can u do a cover of Skyscraper by Demi Lovato? :)

  • Beautiful cover, absolutely beautiful. One thing I love about your covers is that you'll always put yourself in the song, it always makes it mean more I think.

  • Although I seldom comment, know that I truly appreciate your work. Consistently, you give your audience the best covers on YouTube.

  • i wish you had just a bit more range.... but my gosh are you one talented man! subed ^_^

  • PLEASE DO FIX YOU BY COLDPLAY :D

  • @toenail12345

    search for boyce avanue and tyler ward fix you cover, i really like this ;D

  • @toenail12345 Yes. I shall personally stalk you to do this one otherwise. ...

  • Very, very nice and excellent sound! Thank you for sharing! Diane :o)

  • Seriously... after 12937129347 times hearing this song through the summer ?

    The song is overrated.

  • @Cuirras I'm sure he didn't produce this just over night. This takes time and effort. It's not the people who listen to music that makes it overrated its the radio stations that make it overrated by pleasing the requested made by people. Adele's album came out in Febuary 2011. The radio just makes songs feel overrated by overplaying a certain song for a period of time. Music is never overrated. :)

  • @orcaadvocate1689 not rly. THIS SONG IS OVERRATED !

    NUFF said.

  • @Cuirras Do you feel the song? Music is all about feel, so if you don't feel this song, then it's probably easy to say that you don't like it.

  • OMG NO WAY! My nets been down for 5 days and it's been hell since I really need that connection to write my essays and all. But this... This made those 5 days of it being down so worth it. You're amazing.

  • this s fucking awesome

  • why isn't there a radio station what's only playing you all day... that would be a good reason to listen to the radio again!

  • Amazing job! Making it so soft and slow just really pulls on your heart. Wonderful wonderful. :)

  • can you do a cover of Use Somebody by Kings of Leon? i think you'd sound amazing :3

  • Amazing cover - love the emotion, love your voice and love the simple but strong video!

  • I commented yesterday on the deleted video , but i comment today too because you deserve it ahah !

    Seriously , another amazing cover by Gavin Mikhail ... thank you so much !

  • amazing WOW WOW WOW....

  • amazing!

  • You sound amazing at whatever you sing :)

    I was looking forward to this video since you said you'd cover this song (I think you mentioned it on G+ ..)! I expected it to be different than it turned out to be, but I still love it.

  • Amazing!

  • <3

    

  • Thank you for singing this Gavin. I really love Adele and to hear you sing one of her songs makes my heart so happy. Thank you. - Ivy

  • Hey Gavin, nice video and a great performance - as always! Good job, man! =)

  • Son of a bitch it's Children Of Divorce...

  • Please do Child Of Divorce I know it's a bit out of your zone but it'll mean a lot to me. It's by Johnny Craig. Please? I feel like if there's version by you it'll help me get through what I am going through

    Child Of Divorce- Johnny Craig.

  • you you have a very handsome voice i love this cover

  • This is such a great song. Everyone seems to like it.

  • One person doesn't know true talent.

  • your version adds more emotion to such an emotional song... i hope Adele sees this... she'd cry probably .. like we all are

  • your version is better than adeles, much more heartfelt :D

  • @zaklightning14 if you have watched her preform it live @ the awards show, or even the video of her in her home. Adele def puts feeling and soul into this song. I love Gavin, and his music has really touched my life. He does bring the music to life. I have to disagree about the part where you say its much more heartfelt than her version tho. She wrote this song; and it was created from a deep pain in her soul. - Ivy

  • @IvyOrchid well i only ever heard her on the radio so u do have an edge with what you are saying. i got you, i might look up the video at home now lol but i just like gavins voice better you know :P

  • This cover is amazing, thank you!!!!

  • This is simply amazing... but some few times the piano ruins it all...

    I love your voice... is so warm, and soft but deep at the same time!

  • great

  • this was just another example of your ability to take an already phenominal song & make it even better!!! Thank you again!!!!

  • As always, you do such an amazing job!! But seriously, have you been reading my diary? I'm going through a pretty painful breakup, and this song always speaks so powerfully to me...both the original and your fantastic cover. Two enthusiastic Thumbs-Up and a single tear. :-)

  • Wow-Awesome- wonderful - fantastic ! Can you tell I thoroughly love your cover of this song?!

  • This just makes me cry:(

  • Utlra Super!! I've listed to this about 10 times back to back. You do such a great job with this song...i'm hooked on you!

  • Beautiful, Gavin. A tremendous cover! <3 (As usual. You always make me smile.)

  • Utlra Super!!

  • the cover i've been waiting for... so so beautiful, makes me wanna cry :') gavin has done it again <3

  • Beautiful, as always. Great job!

  • I can't wait to see you,Barb and the three kids.....I love you all so much. Mom

  • @mordancn Awww, I wish my mam wrote comments like these on my video.

  • ...as I was saying: Congratz for surprising us each time with your best! You put your personality in everything you sing - that makes you so remarkable!!! I'm with you, man! God bless you! Keep? on you nice job!!!! Hugs. (Ops: I'm longing for "Jar of hearts" don't you forget....)

  • Hi Gavin! It's been a quite long time I don't post anything out here. You probably realize how deep your versions touch peoples' heart. Mine is one of them...? I'm your fan, and have your songs in my car so I introduce you to everyone who's riding with me. I was anxious for "Someone like you", 'cause no matter how many versions of it might exist by now, I was positively sure that something very special'd come out from you ... For my surprise, it is even more special that I expected!!!Congratz...

  • Comment removed

  • i love this because you made it your own and added true feelings instead of just smiling- those covers annoy me :L

  • @musiclover14900 Umm... I need to watch what I say here, but..... yeah. I agree, musiclover. :) Seriously, to each his own, but I tend to think the most honest delivery is one that matches the lyrics. If you're really sinking yourself into a song, smiling when you're singing something as heart-wrenching as this just seems a bit... I dunno... strange to me. But, honestly, to each his own. Music is nothing if not an individual thing. :)

    Thanks for saying that, btw. Really cool of you.

    Gavin

  • @gavinmikhail Big fan Gavin. Always love your covers. :) Particularly this one as I'm going through a breakup right now. But I was wondering, in lieu of what you said about smiling and covering songs, how about in the next cover you do an upbeat pop song (for example) with a smile? I know those of us who have watched many of your videos would love the turnaround - kinda like a good laugh after a good cry :) Just a suggestion anyway. Looking forward to the next cover / original either way :)

  • @gavinmikhail

    Yeah i mean i think it's ok if you smile because its a happy song but on sad songs when they just stand there like statues smiling and singing - that annoys me.

    Basically i really like your covers,

    musiclover14900

    x

  • @gavinmikhail if honesty means pretentiousness than yeah

  • nice!

  • Beautiful again Gavin! If I may make a request, please would you consider covering "Then" by Brad Paisley? I can't help but think it'll suit your style and would be another huge Gavin hit! :) x

  • amazingg!<33

  • re-upload?

  • is this a re-upload? i saw this yesterday i think when it was uploaded ... hmm interesting ... great song 

  • @MCRdeathupsessed I think it was!

  • @MCRdeathupsessed haha... yep. :) Seriously, sorry for the re-upload. Was having some playback issues and figured it was best to catch it early. Just posted about it on facebook (at my /gavinmikhail page). If you commented/tweeted/shared/etc. yesterday... THANK YOU. And... would you mind maybe... doing it again? (haha - lame, I know :))  Just helps with other people finding the video, ya know?

    Thank you so much!!!

    Gavin

  • @gavinmikhail haha i would love re posting it, you were right i did xD great cover :D i love your voice so glad you actually replied to my comment o.o :D

  • Wish I could play like that... Im ok but not this good! This is great.

  • Dude... thank you for this so much... Its really relateable atm so the fact that YOU did it made it so meaningful... You just seem to fill every word with emotion. Thank you so much, I really hope you get down to london for a gig at some point :)

  • Perfection (:

  • Your voice is just so amazing!!! *___*

  • Second.

    But on a serious note, great job.

  • awesome song :)
