Yes! I saw you at the carols as well and I thought you outshone everyone else there! I've now listened to all your originals and your covers, you're incredible! <3
i didnt know you existed till i saw you at the monash carols last night, u have an amazing talent!!! they should have had you do the whole show!!! looking forward to anything else you bring out!
I'm pretty sure this is the same Michael Paynter that my cousin played with as a younger teen......... Credentials are all the same so pretty sure it's him. Michael if you actually read these comments were you in Flynt????
Have a lot of respect for Michael Paynter - He is sometimes compared to John Farnham, which vocally is a compliment, but Michael has something John Farnham doesn't - his prowess on guitar and piano. A band in the 90's, Southern Cross whose lead singer Jack Jones, married Rebecca Gibney, was also compared to JF, and like Michael Paynter toured with him. Southern Cross produced some outstanding love songs that I'm sure would suit the singing style of MP - Just hope MP's career exceeds them both.
I have no words that was ZOMGGG!!! So amazing Michael you're incredible you deserve so much more recognition than you get! Lets get this video viral everyone c'mon!!
You're my idol. Everything you do sounds awesome. You have such an immense talent, and I'm happy you take the time to share it with the world. Thank you for being so passionate for your art. <3
That's a good name that Michael, coming from one Michael to another... mate it's very rare that I ever post a comment on another person doing a John Farnham song, because usually they ruin it... but great version mate, even love the piano composition... would love it if you check out my Farnham stuff, I am not an impersonater, just strictly a tribute artist to John... There is only one John Farnham, and one Voice... I am 'A New Voice' and I am Michael Castle... cheers...
I'm a huge John Farnham fan and this is one of my favs too. You did an absolutely awesome job of it! Anyone who can do Johnny that well and have the great depth and emotion is amazingly talented in my book. I just wanna hear more! =D
ive been a fan of john farnham for a very long time [whispering jack days] and when ever i hear that someone is attempting a cover of a john farnham song i cringe, he has such a unique and individual voice that it is hard for anyone to try one of his songs.
but michael - THIS IS AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have certainly done the song justice.
since I was little and my dad put Johnny on I have loved this song no matter how many times I've heard it (well over a million haha). Amazing job Mr Michael.....perfectly haunting =)
THumbs up if Mike sent you here....this guy is amazing. I adore this song and my gosh...Michael you did such a great job! I want this in my ears all the time!
to my darling yuni, this is for you from my heart , i love you forever
