[paulinalogan]

@Gir78623 Standard tuning, capo on the third fret.

[MichaelkSimmons]

*Sigh* why did they have to shut it down. they left so many things unanswered.  btw NOW DO IT IN METAL!!!! *Starts headbanging*

[ojezap]

My favorite YouTube video, hand's down. ¡Brilloso! (That's "shiny" in Spanish :-)

[MrLotharofhillpeople]

I wish this song were longer, so I could listen longer without having to hit the replay button over and over again.

[Neddhartha]

Love love love this!

[TheHutch244]

Shiny as! Also, if you're as big of a fan as I suspect (and anyone watching) you guys should join my FB page, "Saying Things From Firefly In Real Life" :D

[MrLotharofhillpeople]

You are really, really amazing.

[DeepCosmo]

[TheGuwrovsky]

the original with guy's voice was good... but this has that pluss beauty aswell!

I want to hear THIS in season 2!

[CitrineOak]

@TheGuwrovsky lol, too bad the show was canceled. :)

[morphman92]

shiny!



[LostSoul1701]

Beautiful performance, I really enjoyed hearing you sing that fantastic song. :)

[frost0813]

Your inner beauty is showing. This song is not for the common, and you do it justice.

[paulinalogan]

@frost0813 thank you so much!

[frost0813]

@paulinalogan You're so welcome. If you ever get into full recording would love to play on, or produce some works for you.

[phantomshadowoflove]

WHOOOOO HOOOOOO! You go Girl! xD

[sassy1327]

well done, i'm actually trying to learn the song myself now.  I hope I can get it down like you have:) Browncoats forever!

[berlincreation]

Dang, that's just plain nice... :)

Fade to Black...

[GriffioenRico]

50 people had their sky taken.

[draconis437]

wow, your videos popularity never ends, everytime i check back there's another 5000 views, keep up the good work

[Nayrbarr1234]

@draconis437 Looking at the graphs though, I think most of the newest views are people who've already watched it coming back and watching it again. Not sure if that's a bad thing though :)

[lifelieswaiting]

You look like Summer Glau. And you sound great!

[flabergaster27]

WOW JUST WOW U NAILED IT PERFECTLY!!!!

Thanks from all the Firefly Fans.

[alleyviper19]

BEST - THANK YOU PAULINA!!!

[Kaervek87]

Am I the only one who thinks there's a resemblance to Summer Glau? Great cover, by the way!

[Killerrayzz]

holy crap, why haven't you auditioned for american idol yet?!

[SpaceCornet]

This is well good. U know were I can get the theme tune 4 my Ipod? This rules. :P.

[MrPwnzuall]

Excellent performance of a great song :D

[Srbosloven]

Good feeling and singing.

And nice cheeks :)

[siriuslymeghan]

This is amazing! Would you mind telling me the strumming pattern? I am having a hard time figuring it out ha. You have a beautiful voice :)

[paulinalogan]

@siriuslymeghan Thank you so much! I'm not really sure how to explain the strumming pattern; I just kind of listened to the song a lot and tried to figure it out. You'll get it! :) And thanks again!!

[freakaknight]

Marry me? ^^

[jackncokemmm]

sexy..... O_o but nerdy..... i like.

[utubianman]

Id say your pretty but the obviouse has been stated about 100 times before me. I just saw adam baldwin at the pheonix comicon 2 days ago! Lol

[redinfinity01]

Wow, excellent rendition!

[paulinalogan]

@redinfinity01 thanks!

[wyattbiker]

Wow....your performance is amazing. And a beautiful smile to boot.

[paulinalogan]

@wyattbiker Awww, thanks!!

[TehCheese]

Wow! Brilliant cover! I don't want to sound like an internet pervert but such a combination of talent and beauty is rare!

[paulinalogan]

@TehCheese thanks, glad you liked it!! :)

[jgowan23]

An awesome cover of an awesome song by a gorgeous and awesome young lady. All I can say is GREAT JOB!

[paulinalogan]

@jgowan23 thank you so much!

[kbui00]

Can you teach us how to play this on guitar? What are the chords you're using and the strumming pattern? I love your version so much I would like to learn it. : D

[paulinalogan]

@kbui00 Thank you so much! I found the chords at Ultimate Guitar and just kind of tried it out. It's pretty fun. Good luck! :)

[MrLotharofhillpeople]

Proof the world has gone mad: The Friday song becomes pop culture phenom; this song by this performer only gets a few loyal hits. Madness, sheer and utter madness.

You had me at Serenity. Then you lost me with your Poker Face, and I came back to Serenity.

[Amsfootboy79]

Oh wow I LOVE your version of this! So awesome! Any chance of this being on itunes? What if I beg a whole lot :) Thank s for posting!!!

[paulinalogan]

@Amsfootboy79 Thank you! I don't sell it anywhere because selling covers is a little bit complicated. Maybe someday!

[Starkiller1701]

Sounds truly shiny. Watch out because you've got 50 Alliance spies monitoring your channel. 

[InsomniacGamer85]

So Beautiful, The cover and the woman. Just amazing!!!

[dakotareeves83]

This song is shiny, and so is Paulina

[wordsandmusic93]

Just to let you know: I love you :) Seriously, nice job. Firefly is the sort of show that will always stick in your heart, and you've brought something wonderful to its theme. A true Browcoat!

[paulinalogan]

@wordsandmusic93 thank you so much!

[xalanthekid]

thats a good voice do you have more songs

[paulinalogan]

@xalanthekid Thanks! And yes, I do. Feel free to check out my YouTube channel and itunes(dot)com/paulinalogan

[MrAlextremable]

Will you marry me?

[raykiii]

Very nice!

[BoristheOxman]

Marry me!!!!

[tjb3588]

Wow that was realy good.

[elijahlucian]

LIKES THIS

[CyFi890]

this has inspired me to finally become Mal at comic con this year

[Starkiller1701]

Those 50 people that dislike this are probably from the Alliance

[Grdankl]

very shiny. Mal would be proud

[TheStevenLawrence]

:-)

[thatguyfromthething]

Ain't no power in the 'Verse can stop Paulina being amazing.

[paulinalogan]

@thatguyfromthething Awwwww, thanks. :)

[Prophocies]

Hotness, nuff said

[DeepFingerlove]

i won't try to take your sky pretty eyes.

[Chef7389]

I pressed the like button several times. Don't think it makes a difference, but felt like the right thing to do, anyway.

[NicolettaDelavega]

You have an amazing voice!

[TheImmortalDimebag]

WOW! Simply Amazing!

[soulscaper666]

i cant stop listen to it your an amazing singer and a really really cute one

[paulinalogan]

@soulscaper666 thank you so much!

[soulscaper666]

you were amazing you a really good guitar player and singer

[BigDamnHeroesSir]

Shiny!

[pvm23456]

ATTENTION EVERYONE: There is a movement forming to gather a couple hundred thousand people to pledge to donate money to Nathan Fillion or Joss Whedon to produce a SECOND SEASON of Firefly for online distribution. Go on facebook and like "Help Nathan Buy Firefly" or go to helpnathanbuyfirefly . com for more details. BOOST THE SIGNAL! GET THE WORD OUT!

[pheenix42]

@pvm23456 Indeed...you can't stop the signal!

[KillerSwiller]

@pvm23456 Already pledged. Good job in passing the word though!

[TeDDy7423]

@pvm23456 i agree with what you, however if Joss was to actually make a second season, it just wouldn't be the same. If you watched serenity (spoiler alert) you would know that wash and book are gone and Inara left. serenity is not a full ship without those characters and it would just not be the same in my opinion.

[sparks158]

too bad i can't see your hands.

[delta1O5]

Holy shit you look a lot like River...

[SuperMachoMuchacho]

Great rendition girl! Female whedon fans are some of the strongest most independent women i know. If I were to ever get married it would have to be to a Whedonista.

[MGA85]

will you marry me!!

[BoristheOxman]

50 people are going to the special hell for child molesters, people who talk in the theatre and producers who cancel brilliant, critically acclaimed shows after one season. Browncoats forever!

[sickboyskin]

Simply Amazing. What a beautiful voice! Browncoats forever!

[seraphel]

Shiny. You did a fantastic job. Love for you. Much love <3

[paulinalogan]

@seraphel thank you :)

[disturbed199329]

Wooo! That was really good!

[BleedingxSoul88]

You like Summer Glau :P

[Walkingcompilation]

Great cover. Fitting that you look a little bit like Summer Glau. Come to think of it, you look a bit like Jewel Staite, too. Weird.

[stargater25]

you sound great.

[hex0bite]

The best cover I heard for the moment.

[Fernicia]

You're the mirror image of Summer Glau.

[Geeeeoheffeff]

@Fernicia I was about to say that, but thanks for doing it for me :)

[scourgewriter]

I concur with many when I say I actually prefer your rendition than the original, which is saying a lot. Wonderful work!

[Velenor1]

You gave me goosebumps. I Think that says enough. Love it.

[whealler100]

beautiful, you and the voice ;)

browncoats!

[nwlawookie]

I think this is a terrible rendition.

[erickj92]

Very awesome job! You have a very good voice!

[Davidov41]

O.O wow cool you have a beutifull voice thumps up

[thepapercrane7]

So I stumbled across the film Serenity a couple days ago. I loved it and now I'm obsessively watching every episode of Firefly. Now this... I love that you figured this out, recorded it, and posted it!

[LOLxoutxloud]

@thepapercrane7 Welcome to the Browncoats.

[BubbleOneOne]

What could be better than a cute girl signing / playing the theme of one of the best sci-fy shows ever! :)

[UrTheist]

I hope this doesn't make you feel bad but I think I'm responsible for 98,891 of those view counts.

[GrimmRebellion]

well its official, I love you... Will you marry me?

[DaemonInWhite]

This is utterly fantastic, easily as good as ifnot better than the oiginal. Your voice is perfect for this song.

[bugman3601]

your fit 

[Fibonacci3326]

amazing .

[tamulhall]

What a great voice! If we ever get a new show or movie, they could do a lot worse than use you.

[Neosophist]

Browncoats unite!

[itribe1]

You have such a gorgeous voice! I like yours better than the actual song!

[paulinalogan]

@itribe1 Awww, thanks!

[Larrylarp]

The greatest interpretation of the song I have ever seen. And I've seen three!

[paulinalogan]

@Larrylarp LOL. This is an awesome comment. :)

[hc454]

Rupert Murdoch is going to the Hell reserved for people in particular need of of horrible torment...like child molesters and people who buy myspace instead of keeping this show alive. lol. I'm glad that most of the talent from this show has found work at least. Malcolm Reynolds the greatest grey hero of all time. Nice interpretation btw.

[Larrylarp]

@hc454 I have always thought that Fox were a group of monsters for cancelling the show, but you don't actually think that Murdoch is responsible for canceling the show? Hell, he probably doesn't care the slightest. It's just a group of suits that made the decision.

Gotta love the show though. When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't do that... well, you know the rest.

[LOLxoutxloud]

This is what I love about Browncoats: even though what we love may never return, we have taken the 'verse and made it explode with talent.

WE brought the BDM.

WE have put our talents into whatever we are good at to expand the 'verse.

WE have changed the Earth-that-is, showing the power of fandom.

No power in the 'verse can stop us.

[pheenix42]

@LOLxoutxloud "We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."

[Obliveon420]

beautiful voice, beautiful video

[zachbattak]

that was really amazing and i really mean that, it was amazing

[EyeKnifeyou]

Beutiful!! Just bought firefly and serenity and saw all of it in 2 days. Great show. And one of the best theme songs!

[PerpetualMindDump]

I always find it odd how strongly emotional I feel about Firefly.

I care more about that one series than I do any long running show or film I can possibly think of.

Whenever I hear this song I get tingles all up my arms.

Your cover is simply amazing.

Your voice is beautiful, and you really give the song a personal flare that goes way beyond simply trying to replicate it.

I think if anybody who worked on the show saw this video, it would make them very happy to know what they made inspired this.

[paulinalogan]

@PerpetualMindDump Thank you so much, that's very kind.

[dondondokken]

@PerpetualMindDump

I feel the same too. Have seen many movies, a few series. But Firefly just is one of the best, if not the best. Theme song, characters, everything... just my style.. rock out browncoats..

[PlageFaustMessias]

You have a beautiful voice ma'am.

[SulliMike241]

You make us browncoats proud ma'am.

[JasonLdee102]

Not only is your singing amazing and Beautiful, you have the most Beautiful smile I have ever seen and I LOVE Firefly and its original theme but I have never heard sung so Beautifuly by a Browncoat, well done <3 :D

[phensel13]

CHORDS!!!

[laceloo1]

you have an absolutly beautiful voice. very nice job.

[GetCaptainJack]

Beautiful job, luv.

[mtdewramen]

I love your skill, improv, voice, and passion with it, real country style.

[eastcowestrev]

Miming!

[tj93933]

Simply beautiful. I inadvertently found fans doing their rendition of the Firefly/Serenity ballad (didn't know they existed). Some are pretty good. Then, I came across yours...& it's the best I've heard. I was truly moved. You took a great song & made it your own, from the heart.  You have an amazing voice & your talent is undeniable. The sky's the limit for you, Paulina. Don't forget, "You can't take the sky from me." Your newest fan from NorCal, Tommy. P.S. Do you ever perform in Monterey?

[paulinalogan]

@tj93933 Hi Tommy! Thank you so much for your kind comments! I haven't performed in Monterey yet, but I hope to someday! :) Thanks again.

[ZoomieMSgt]

Fantastic.
