you sang like an angel!!!!!!!! you gave me courage to start recording me singing this song!!!!!!! and i am a girl!!!!!!!!! it is taking a long time to adjust the song to a pitch that i can sing at!!!!!!!! thanks for inspiring me!!!!!!!!
wow!! that was incredible. even your lower register has fantastic tone. not just anyone can sing songs like this, it was composed by a genius!! but u did a grate version of it! Im really enjoying your videos mr ur supper talented! :0)
9 out of 10 times I cringe when I see someone posting a video of this song being done. Either overly emotional, not that emotional and shmalzy big band like Simon Cowell likes it, whatever. This effort is actually very good. Jeff Buckley is an impossible act to follow (I think he did it in C, not E) but this one is way more than respectable. Extremely well done!
there are people whom music just flows through them, and it looks effortless, that is you, you given me goosebumps and that is hard to do. thank you. i loved your cover. looking for more of you.
Sounded okay - It's been done so many times though, and at times it seemed like you were screeching. Ditto on not being a fan of implying it's a "shrek song".
I appreciate the invite to view this. This is one of the very best covers of this wonderful song that I've heard. You have a great range of vocal expression, not to mention your vocal range. I'm blown away.
@azarragamichael Kinda makes me wanna do a cover of it. And YES! Did you see the latest vid I uploaded? It features my pup being good and doing "sit." :P Big deal for a puppy with ADHD
what ever you do don't stop singing, you have a fantastic unique voice , I just listened to this3 times !!! I will be back for a fix from time to time lol !
Have you heard the Norwegian quartet with Kurt Nilson? also superb :-)
You have an amazing range and a really good voice. A great song to do on top of that. I didn't know what to expect from you and you blew me out of the water. Nice job brother.
what can i say... you know that you are covering one of the if not the greatest of leonard cohenes songs, that so so so many other great artists have done through the time, so my expectations are justified high...
but i am surprised how great you sing it.
and itt is actually better than quite some of the other covers
@fluteplayer7mce never knew that til late. i didn't know leonard cohen, i didn't know about this song. i just heard from another youtuber singing this song and i liked it so i did my own cover. :) thank you so much.
Well done. Difficult song and you did it justice. I'm not sure you're old enough for me to believe you really understand it, though. Didn't quite feel it.
Great voice. Please allow some advice (from a non-singer - wish I had your talent!): KNOW THE MATERIAL... in your heart. That is the key to true success. Sing it from the heart. To really sing this one better than the best, read the Bible and know what it means! God Bless.
In all honesty I wasn't thrilled with the "pm" you sent me with a link to this video. But in all honesty, I don't regret listening to this, because I really liked it! Keep up the good work =)
Dude you have an amazing voice!! I wish I still had my tenor voice, but unfortunately it went all deep, and now I'm a true bass.. But this is amazing!
you did well on this song. I have heard many version / The best was from kd lang. Len, Cohen asid it was the nest version of his song. he said the song could be put to rest. She put alot of soul/neart in it
@thespiswolf i chose to be nasal to get better control on soft high notes. i don't see anything wrong with it, our nasal cavity is one of our resonators even when we talk. it's there for a reason, not just for breathing. :)
wow amazing...you're great! i want to request something from billy preston...never gonna say goodbye...will be very please if you will make a cover, haha...one of my fave song! YOU REALLY ROCK! K U D O S !!!
Very good vocal quality. Impeccable intonation even on the highs. Volume control is very good. Very good falsetto transitions. An all around great performance :-)
You are the best i love this song
