Lauryn Hill Cover - Killing Me Softly - Showtime at the Apollo

[Screwycummings]

@chipless23 Could you please revise the title of this video? It's very misleading! We all thought Lauryn Hill would be singing. If you are doing this on purpose in order to get more viewers, I'm going to flag your video!

[chipless23]

@Screwycummings Fixed! Sorry for the mix up.

[armany02]

What a handsome man too.

[gleventhal]

[celloprofundo]

This guy is sexy, that guy is sexy....who gives a shit

[LongWindedUsername]

@celloprofundo

lol u mad bro?

[celloprofundo]

@LongWindedUsername ...No, I just think it's dis-heartening to ugly people everywhere when they read shallow stuff like that and they're not old enough to not take it to heart...like you have to be beautiful to succeed, and if your not, give up or don't even try ...and what with the quality of parenting these days... ; )

[milkmanv1]

@LongWindedUsername HE MAD

[kgcat1]

I agree this guy is very sexy....and I love his suit!!!

[roibasses]

[chozen9]

Drake b4 the record deal...

[royal080]

[JamalTheTitan]

@royal080 You're not supposed to cheer and stuff during an instrumental piece

[7SickoZ]

This makes a nigga want to play some violin

[coolcat7035]

@7SickoZ LOLOLOLOL it looks lkie his pJs

[DuellMeNoob]

whos the retard who dressed him in that suite? fucking idiot...

[TheDesperateHodges]

He is very hot!

[texaschamelion]

Fabulous talent he has that was lovely to hear one of my favorite songs played so well and very unique!!!

[AyeeResa]

the violin, the voice, and so many natural talents are pushed aside. it takes learning and skill to master all of these.

these days, and im about to be 18, but realize

that sexual songs and just a little booty shaking can win the hearts of everyone.

i love art, i love music entertainment, but when you push away true talents, not computerized stuff, thats when you have to sit and ask, what is the world coming tooo?!?!

[clipboardcrotch]

Sandman his ass

[DiiDee66]

I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT STUMP IN ANOTHER VIDEO! LOL I think I get it now. :D

[HumeAnnoyed]

At first, I thought she was gonna come out and sing while he played. but no. I got the title scam. Great bowing but annoyed at the misnomer.

[rcaddict72]

im waiting to see a violinist play and sing at the same time...pianists can do it, guitarists...why not violinists?

[Yerizzo]

@rcaddict72 Because they don't use their face to hold the instrument?

[Fr0zenT0ast]

@rcaddict72 John Cale - Venus in Furs

[wrjamescom]

@rcaddict72  Charlie Daniels does it.

[wrjamescom]

@rcaddict72 Charlie Daniels does it.

I think you see it in country music but not other styles because the violin has many qualities of a human voice anyway, so it would seem like a bad duet. Played as a "fiddle" it's a different kind of sound and works well with country music.

[StarsInMyHands]

That was hot.

[themack355]

WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS SAY LAUREN HILL? SHE ISN'T THE ORIGINAL SINGER OF THIS SONG!!!!!

[GreenmanCGM]

@themack355 i know right

[13thDegree]

@themack355 because this isn't a cover of Roberta Flacks song... it's a cover of Lauryn Hill's version.

[Euterpe001]

Of course he didn't win. He might have had the most talent. Violin is one of the hardest instruments to learn. I know this personally. But he's a white dude playing the violin.... Once saw a great opera singer on here and people were wopping her. Like wtf?

[SocrTrump]

lauryn hill looks a lot like a white dude with a violin

[LilMissDiva529]

@SocrTrump they mean that the white dude is playing killing me sofely on a violin stupid like learn wat does it look like dumb ass

[SocrTrump]

@LilMissDiva529 No shit.

[sbr76]

Laurn Hill probably has 20 guys like him playing this on violins while she's having her dinner!

[SCAVENGERSENT]

lol lauren hill is a singer hes playing her song

[HOOPCITYDETECTIVE]

Except it's not her song. Lauren remade this as it was first released by Roberta Flack some 20 years prior.

[1pharoah2]

yoooooooooo i think this dude Lauryn Hill works at me bank here in Houston :)

[sam74]

Damn!

 I didn't know Lauryn played the violin and she's a got a new look too!

[novembers2424]

not lauryn hill!

[rayray094life]

whhhhoooa. hes too cute to be so talented! lol jokes jokes

[haharandom]

Whoah he's cute. :)

[halffilipina]

I think Logan, is so sexy!!!!! yum yum!!!!! lol

[BettaWithToast]

what ever happened to all the good shows tv sucks these days

[Size10ShoeTube]

Sweet violin version

[Size10ShoeTube]

I love this woman. I still do.

[watchout823]

@AchromaticAdulation

i bet you wont go up to a black person and say that. stay behind your pc you bigot!!!!

[yyGODyy]

Even apes can use proper grammar.

[blueddha]

not a very talented violinist, but excellent song choice for the audience.

[djheadline]

WOW, DOPE DOPE DOPE!!!! This guy is awesome!!!

[wishforpeace15]

that's talent there

[corasona]

I LOOOOOOOOOVE IT !

[chaci1]

He has an amazing gift

and anyone who can play my favorite song of all time and on a Violin

he should be famoussssssss

[mmfree7]

wow thats amazing!!!! :)

[tbm438]

L0VEd iT.!

[HighJump2012]

Does anyone have the sheet music for this

[DDSpartan073]

yeah but how do i send it to u?

[snookumkitty]

wow, that guy is gorgeous! :) very talented also but i agree that he needs to work on his stage presense just a little bit :P

[Erinismylove]

I can play this song on the voilin, and parts on the cello, but no where near as good as he does.

[dionne526]

HE DID THAT!!!!!!!!!!

[DOUGHBOYSOUNDZ]

Yo jr92503 no one cares what you think you nobody, if you could do a better job I'm pretty sure you would be the one in the video and not the one watching it. Haters like you is the problem with the world.

[crazyvic62]

i love him

[KallMeKris]

Hahahahahahahaa...he new he had to throw some drums and snares in there to get the black vote,..LOLOLOL...(I'm Black so don't trip), but i didn't notice how everybody starting gettin hype when they through the drums in

[RAHMYULIS]

i didn't know they made 5 string violins! i gotta get me one

[monia0ashibi]

that's how us atlanta violinists get down..lol nice btw

[lesika08]

awesome!

[ewilso22]

BOOO. marie ben arie already kilt this

[stazzylove456]

electric violin, the fuck? lol naw but that was fresh, now get lauryn to sing to that...nobody would be able to touch it

[jr92503]

nobody? Her version isn't even the best REMAKE! I'm sure Roberta Flack would disagree, as Roberta would blow L Boogies ass out of the water. And there are at least 50 soul singers who would do a far better remake, the Fugies one was actually pretty horrible imho.

[stazzylove456]

first, spell fugees right. next, i really dont give a fuck about everybody else man, i love L boogie's the best. sooooo yeah, shut up

[jr92503]

sorry FUGEES, there are you happy now? Thankfully she will never make another album, Hallaula God must be real!

[stazzylove456]

thank you for spelling it right. and hey we never know, now that we know God is real, anything is possible rite?

[caribbeanstylez]

you must have been jaded somehow to hate on one of the most talented songstresses of our time. how dare you diss on L-Boogie like that. first of all im pretty sure the Cover was an ode to the original but with a hiphop flavor. and secondly if you actually listened to/read the lyrics of Hill's songs you would see her talent. and i dont know any other idiot besides you that doesnt like the Fugees version. MOst people didnt even know Flack sung it before the Fugees made it hot...

[babyEroose]

LOL, Roberta Flack was actually in the Fugees' video so I think she approved of their version. On another note, The guy in this vid is totally hot...needs to work on his stage presence a little more.

[SpanishEyedDesi]

oooooh...he's hot!

ahaha played killin me softly on the electric violin! veryyy sexy sound!

[chobiv7]

this is nice..

very nice.

[ciuacoatl]

I thought it was pretty good, even to the octave he's in. It added a little romance to the music.

[chicklettes]

Hahaha... he's sexy and he knows it... look at his face at 2:27...

[uselessguitarplayer1]

no he's an arrogant prick

[armandbrach]

i would like to be the first to comment on his talent by saying he should of had a more upbeat mix of this song, also he should play it one octave higher.

[kgordon22586]

hes fucking gorgeous

[IROCKU99]

HELL YES HE IS!!!!

[am06673]

he fine!!!!

[Mrsteddyz]

That guy is sexy!!!

[namcintosh]

@Mrsteddyz Yes lawd. He is. Beautiful. And they don't take this type of music seriously.

[DiiDee66]

@Mrsteddyz Better looking than most violinists I've seen. lol

[TheRosanaribeiro]

@Mrsteddyz Would tell me his name???

[Mrsteddyz]

@TheRosanaribeiro Logan Anderson

[alexiscampbell16]

Man!!! He a beast!!! I play viola, but he got this hands down!!

[AlaniKane]

I remember watching this on TV & he did'nt win. They dont take violinist seriously.

[step2meNYC]

@AlaniKane Thats not true. you have to ad a little more flare to your show. When Miri Ben Ari played at the Apollo they went crazy. So many acts come through that you HAVE to grab the crowd right out the gate...... They showed him love, but they weren't impressed. Just look at the blank expressions.

[retrophillysoul]

Nicely done.

[fvanshoes]

he is soooooo sexy!!!

[chidori005]

SPEECHLESS~ O_O

[Sco6014]

YES!! I remember watching this and sorting some files!!!!!!

[sweetbabybunny06]

[gbritaney]

[aznming93]

Gah ! i love this song..
