YOU RAISE ME UP by Erik Dillard

[logan2bkool]

Can u sing : " The Strom Is Over Now " by r-kelly please, i would love it

[jakebisognin]

Love the singing...but that violin was piercingly bad!

[mrbouncelol]

when I checked the key and saw that this was in Ab I couldn't believe my ears. How gifted you are to have the ability to sing to high, so naturally (although I know you must have worked very hard!)

I would like to hear you even push yourself further. It seems like you could do more, but didn't want to overshadow the ensemble, which is very professional.

Great singing!

@lonelyturret Right! LOL! Interesting, isn't it?! =)

[Dee9158]

Wow man, you sound great. Keep it up.

[SuperSugers]

i loved it you sound great man love the quality of your voice and the way you express your notes great job

[shihui91]

you are good:)

[tawneyb]

You sound beautiful!! Love your spirit and the dignity you keep even with the haters you have! ;-)

[uzaj675]

I agree with you, it's not to impress is to bless

[lloyd614]

@uzaj675 Thank you! =)

[Eva230894]

Good singing, violin is out of tune xD

[OfficiallyEricJoel]

Wow, this was amazing to watch. Way better cover than mine. Wow, thats all I can say.

[peternelson1990]

@XfreesyriafreeX 2bh you're not that great anyways... and what Erik said is true.. IMO he can sing and shows true emotion when he sings unlike most singers do these days it's not about what you do when you sing it's how you affect people when you do.

And like you said it's just MY opinion ;)

[nottiboy666]

oh mai... this is lovely. erik, you're sucha lovely soul filled with so much emotions. keep it up. :)

[Trupackfan74]

I love this song and I love your performance of it. Also, I'm loving that you also do vids on hard rock/metal artists, I'd love to see more.

[lloyd614]

@XfreesyriafreeX ~ I've checked out ur posts on a few of my videos. I think u're missing the point altogether.

Firstly, in this music industry, there are MANY people who become famous w/o true singing ability. Vocal lessons are not to make people famous. They are to make people confident for whomever their audience is.

Secondly, "This" song is not about "impressing" anyone. It is a song of gratitude dedicated to people who have helped us in life. I encourage you to learn the spirit of music.

[Addoisfly]

@lloyd614 well said man :) if only i could sing :(

Someones violin is not in tune. Either that or they are playing in a key a minor2nd flat to what is supposed to be played.
