Disaster JoJo Cover

[tilleyj26]

you should give us the sheet music for it

its gorgeous!!

[mckaaylagirll]

I love this! The piano cover is great, and so is the voice! I like how you slowed it down.

[timberlake7654]

your sooooooooooooo goooooooddddddd

[foxysamoan]

@aaliyahluva no emotion dude just shut your mouth like really u would have to be freaking retarded to not hear the emotion in his voice like really it's not like u could do any better and if u think. Can u should make a video to prove it because I'm pretty sure that it wont be as good and great ad this cover

[foxysamoan]

One word: dang that was amazing and @cobwaby it's not that he couldn't keep up with the original beat it just cause thats his style

[xlxBlueSkyxlx]

When I first heard you, I thought you sucked major butt. But then your voice started to grow on me.. Now I'm freaking obsessed with this cover! You did an amazing job(: Jealous of your voice by the way..

[singingintherainxo1]

beautiful

[A3DAM94]

slow but not bad

[roomcreeper]

I heard this before the original. Will never listen to the original again - and this is on replay.

[turtlojo]

DUDE!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!! i have never heard this song before and...just wow!

[turtlojo]

Dude...that was awesome!!!!! i honestly had never heard this song until now and oh. my. god. that was awesome!!!!

[roomcreeper]

My god you're fucking amazing. I strongly, strongly believe that everything your voice stands for will nuclearly explode in "Nobody Wins" by the Veronicas. Oh please please gods of mercy, will you give it a shot? That song with your voice, mother of all things holy. That is all.

[chrisjensenliv]

eehm, i love you :)

[pinocchoe]

Dude I love you, this is just phenomenal. GOOD JOB

[kurdishcutie95]

[TheLilmac18]

It's good. =)

[shameelasddk]

omg i love your voice. keep it up!

[alyssalynnbrown]

OK person who posted a comment before me... that was uncalled for man not cool :( I think its an amazing change from what he usually does I love it gavin my favorite song of yours is higher window... I llovve it keep climbing

[Aaliyahluva33]

This is really sad like you can sing but your not capturing Jo Jo's essence which is angry and exciting, you took the soul out of the song. yes u have a nice voice but there is NO Emotion!

[grimmietsuialvordfan]

@Aaliyahluva33 No emotion? Dude, there is an UNREAL amount of emotion in this, just not the same emotions as Jo Jo.

[Aaliyahluva33]

@grimmietsuialvordfan No there is no emotion times he sounds flat, it takes out the message of the entire song im not saying he cant sing because he can, he just needs more excitement

[grimmietsuialvordfan]

@Aaliyahluva33 excitement isn't really his style. When l first heard this cover, l actually hadn't heard Jo Jo's yet. So l went and listened to it and l was suprised how different the two versions were. lt just sounded so natural when he sang it, like it was supposed to be sung that way and not fastly and angrily. l think it sounds better slower and on piano and the message of the song sounds better sung this way. Maybe that's just because l never really was a big Jo Jo fan.

[nomexicanusa]

dang never herd jojo but your amazin man, next to you is death cab for cutie. you should totally do "glove compartment" by them, you'd a's it

[lilpimpette1234]

You're so cute!!

[lilpimpette1234]

So I was like "he's doing it slow? this is going to be horrible..." BUT I LOVED IT!! This is really really good! <3 <3

[ChasingCircles]

INTRO MORE OFTEN!!

[Andy365]

so glad you decided to do this cover ! :) thanks, it was a pleasure to listen

[cobwaby]

... I appreciate you singing it and you have a lovely voice but It get's very tiring everyone turning these songs into slow pace songs that seem all blue because cover artists can't keep up with the original beat. I'm sorry but it sounds shit you hear this fun fast paced good beat and you check out a cover and it's like a turtle. so slow. it's really disappointing. But you have a good voice.

[lilpimpette1234]

@cobwaby I don't agree. Sometimes it sounds like shit when it's slow, but this is actually a really good slow version of Disaster. It's not that he can't keep up with JoJo, like he said it's not his style so he made it so. But I do agree that he has a good voice.

[xxbrittanybabiixx]

well done! (:

[clwilson1958]

I've heard this done by Jo Jo..I love how you can take any song and make it your own..again..bravo! ~ Cheryl- from Tenessee

[TheAnee18]

I honestly assumed it was going to suck, but this is very good :)! I love it!

[readinglts]

For some reason, I imagined you to have a Russian accent...This is an amazing video though!

[fueledbysophy]

Absolutely amazing. Gave me major chills. :]

[dababyboyinnc85]

wow beautiful i like this version

[NiNaIsTheWay]

[JayManFlyboii]

You're no JoJo, but you don't have to be.this blew me away. Keep it up

[celticfreak314]

[AndreaKLowe]

Love it!!! :) Pleeeaase do more intros! :) x

[JosyMusiiiik]

*_*♥

[MoonInHerEyesx]

This made me look up the song, and no I'm proud to say I know and love both versions (this and the original) by heart. They're both beautiful. <3

[DreamisFly2]

You're so talend. (heart)

[ZoneEchizen]

too much talking !!! just sing....close

[tashamward]

I stumbled upon your music while looking for Box of Stones on Spotify. I can honestly say I much prefer your cover of that song. The reason I am commenting on this video however, is that I had never heard this song before and then went and listened to the original. Wow. Way to make a song that I never ever would have listened to (due to musical taste) something that I could find entirely beautiful.

[TheHollywoodcheer23]

DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEXT NEAREST FRIDAY POSSIBLE BY THE LOVE OF OUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS TO THREE VIDEIOS YOU WILL DYE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS. NOW, YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED READING SO DONT STOP. THIS IS SCARY PUT THIS ON FIVE VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 143 MINUETS. WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS XD

[thisisnotahand1]

[brainman214]

Gavin Rocks my world.The Next Gavin DeGraw?Who Knows?Very Prolific,Yes!I know,because i reviewed music since 2001 and i know a hit when i hear it,and this is IT!Brainy at BMS

[sassytwilightchick]

[acousticmanification]

amazing btw

[acousticmanification]

gavin you shold try adam levin stereo heart

[DreamisFly2]

I really love this cover, and i really ❤ your voice. :')

[bookiegenious2345]

Gavin you give me goose bumps.

This is QUITE lovely :)

[Mij0y]

Very nice.

[amytothegrace]

Amazing. After listening to this by JoJo, I felt like she wasn't doing her lyrics justice. The song, in my opinion, needed to slow down and lose all the bells and whistles. It needed if not was MEANT to be a soulful piano number. And here you've done it. Beautifully and perfectly so. For letting me take this song in deeper, my heart thanks you!

[sosohadoso]

seriously , you sing beautifully .. i stop listening to the original song n always listening to yours ... its moving and has a piece of you n thats really amazing :)

[amundojr]

That was beautiful :) wow.

[Secretajianman]

Beautiful...uplifting...simply­ amazing

[Mrsdevsgirl]

Your amazing, WOW

[Ash2012Oly]

This definitely worked for you. It was amazing! You are so talented! You said it wasn't really your style but you completely owned it. Well done :)

[notcontentwithlosing]

Gavin, why do you always wear the same clothes?

[Gwen127]

Love this song and your version is simply amazing.

[JRyanSwagg]

What a beautiful voice, and such an awesome rendition of the original song. Keep up the good work! I subbed! please check out some of my music when you have the time, and it would mean alot if you subbed for support. Thanks agian, and God Bless!

[ThraxxMedia]

For GOD's sake, do you ever make tours or give some sort of concerts or the like..? Just asking, I have never been to anything like that before (yeah I know, pretty lame nowadays...) but if you do, then surely that'd be the first I ever visit!! as an expression of thankfulness for how awesome, touching and inspiring your music is.

[AssassinsCreed515]

Is there any chance you could to a cover of Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin?

[Everytingisaillusion]

haha, you're intro is awesome! You should really do these intro's more ;)

And it's not semi-cool.

It's freaking awesome! You'll always be the best, and the song even fits you really good ;)

[Lionelguyc]

Beautifully done, so tender full of fresh soaring emotion...a lot heart & soul placed into it. Thank you Sincerely Lady Clara Devine Lady Devine Productions

[ndnadia9]

Awesome! :)

[niklemons]

WOW, You´re the second best performer of this song, after you know who!

[LoopyLupa]

Not an intro fan, but that is prob just coz I want to get straight to the great singing :-D Maybe you should upload one with and one without xxx <3

[xWhatsYourFandomx]

Oh wow, I was looking for a decent cover of this, and this was the first that I clicked on...I have to sub now; I love your voice and how you've put your spin on the song. It's so emotional. Very powerful!

[ethiraihz]

i love this!

[MrCiprianSF]

I simply love all your songs. And I do think you have the best covers and for this song. I really like this one than the original.

[maviehb]

This is why I LOVE YOUTUBE! You are so talented and I love your cover! It is a more candle light version and I think this songs lends itself PERFECTLY to such a version! When I heard her version and the guitar in the begining I immediately thought, slowing this down and allowing us to hear each word and melody as you have done would be SO amaxzing! I hope she does that live sometimes, but i have ot say BRAVO! This is so great! Sounds like a a completely different song, I feel your version more!

[kateygirlbabe]

wow.. so stripped down and amazing i'm sure Jo will love this!! good work

[TheRoberta10]

Gavin, meu amigo, VOCÊ É UM EXCELENTE PIANISTA, CANTOR, INTÉRPRETE E VAI "ESTOURAR" A QUALQUER MOMENTO. TORÇO POR VOCÊ!

[elizabeththeshortone]

[xojuliiaax3]

[SheLovesPain]

[juliettedevette]

STILL, IT'S AMAZING AND I AM DEF. SUBSCRIBED!

you seem like a really great guy.

[55pgm28]

[55pgm28]

for covering jojo's awesome song DISASTER and giving it justice...I'm gonna click subscribe :) good job! keep it up! :)

[ddevastation11]

Amazing cover as always! :)

[TheFielon]

I have to say every single one of your songs, covers and originals, brings a whole range of emotions to me. Every note pulls at my heart, you just bring a new idea of music to my mind. I'm in a broken place right now, but your songs really make me feel. I couldn't be more grateful, those that make you feel beyond what you thought possible truly are miraculous.

Also, ever think of letting fans request dedications to loved ones? I, personally, would pay for the chance.

Thank you Gavin, sincerly.

[Maferfcl]

You are amazing :) Pura Vida Greetings from Costa Rica

[DanubeSerri]

WOW. truly impressed. You are amazing. 

[taianwar89]

Semi cool? Dude your totally full on AWESOME!

[coversbybruh]

you made this song so much better..

[OMGitsLadyTangerine]

amazing i love it! <3

[NinjutsuNinjaQueen]

ive loved u and ur covers for some time now. u've inspired me to pick up my guitar & start trying to learn again. u have a beautiful voice & thank u for showing ur music 2 the world :D

[iClaria]

If you covered "Someone like you" it would be awesome. :)

[xnex2006]

Brilliant! Unadulterated love <3

[DjBeowolf88]

Hi Gavin!

Im amazed by your vocals!

Im a producer and songwriter myself and i was just wondering how do you get those near vocals?

What kind of mic and preamp or other equipment do you use to get them so in your face?

It sounds so crispy and in your face really nice man!

Sinceraly Michel

[Sheckomi]

lol nevermind i figured it out, no one tell me!!!!! i thought he ment he was changing the way he did the song :p

[Sheckomi]

honestly i cant tell a differance between the two really, at all, so its just plan awesome to me either way XD

[camilok7]

I like outros better than intros. EITHER WAY, Gavin speaking!!!! Freaking awesome!

[IvyOrchid]

You have a way of taking a song, and making it breathe. You bring the music to life. You give it soul. I've been a fan for many, many years. I never get tired of your original work. Your covers are often (in my opinion) far better than the other versions. Somehow you make them more real to me. Your music touches my heart. Thank you for living your dream, and not giving up on your music. It has meant so much to me in the last 3-4years.

[virusdetection]

Amazing cover my friend! My advice is to use more range throughout the whole song, like at 4:22, because those high notes sound amazing. Also don't be afraid when making intros our outros, be confident :]

[Nargization]

i wanna be able to play a piano THAT GOOD!!

[thrillseeeker23]

Gavin, you're music never stops amazing me. You bring so much passion and love into every piece that you perform. I just sit back, close my eyes, and listen.  By the end of all your covers, I have a smirk on my face, or tears are streaming down it. Thank you for showing me, and others, such beauty in the most natural form.

[ladydi2dream]

Wow Gavin..!

I Love All Your Music and Videos!

Sooooooo Talented...!

Much Passion!

Keep Em Coming! :)

[dss935]

Canta muito bem! Parabéns!!

[alexxv13]

OMG we see his face Entirely ... and his eyes are open ! xD

[hpeselyk]

I wish I'm as talented as you. hahaha

[aznlove9]

im becoming such a fan. im always looking forward to ure videos and whenever i see one uploaded. im happy :D

[muselover112]

Gavin, do you have a twitter/facebook page??

[gavinmikhail]

@muselover112 I do, muse, I do!!! (haha) Seriously, thanks for asking, and yeah... honestly I don't post much besides updates on Twitter (can't limit myself to 140 characters :)), but Facebook is facebook (dot) com (slash) gavinmikhail ... But REALLY... the best right now is my Google+ page - gplus (dot) gavinmikhail (dot) com. I love that site. Starting to post blogs there pretty regularly, and planning a series of hangouts (multi-way video chats with friends/fans). Hope you can join!

Gavin

[muselover112]

@gavinmikhail Awesome, thanks! :D

[badams006]

While I usually would prefer you do your own original songs- I think this was awesome! I liked the intro -

[xolovebugs]

I absolutely love the piano in this song. Nice job! I'm glad I watched this, I'm learning the piano soon ! And that voice of yours, amazing. Have confidence as someone mentioned! You are great!

[sophiamglasser]

Loved it as usual!

[tony91150]

this is great man...

[AshleyD863]

I approve of the intro. It made me giggle. Do more of them.

[AshleyD863]

@AshleyD863 Also, I am still hoping for that Never Gonna Give You Up cover. :-P

[gavinmikhail]

@AshleyD863 haha... thanks, Ashley. :) Honestly, it's always been strange for me to talk on camera. I'm always not QUITE myself when talking that way (does that make any sense?). I think it comes from having a hangup with people who take themselves too seriously, ya know? Do I take my music seriously? Absolutely. Do I take MYSELF so seriously that I come across as a self-involved douche onscreen? I sincerely hope not. :) So if I didn't seem that way... awesome. Thanks for that :)

Gavin

[MarissaRussell]

@gavinmikhail I'm totally with you there haha. I suddenly get all awkward and uncomfortable when I'm talking to no one and just into my camera(:

[simplebreeze1]

Again another great performance... I love the introduction by the way.. I can see tht you feel your music.. Keep entertaining us fans.. well done Gavin.. love this video !!!!

[BradyMcwilliam]

What Lies Beneath by Breaking Benjamin

[xCasssy]

Blown away once again, Gavin! Keep up the good work!

Definitely feeling a Paper Heart by David Cook cover.

[mrssammyjane73]

I love the intro. It makes it seem like you are more interested in the fans and what they think and feel. You should keep the intro and do it more often on your music videos. As always awesome singing! Keep up the great job/work!

[LeBlondebean]

My eyes definately were not dry after this :')

So beautiful.

[lizcis]

I loved it, beautiful~!
