David Fonseca - "Rocket Man"

[wwescorpionx]

I used to like David Fonseca when he was the singer of the band "Silence 4" actually i don't like him anymore...

Im portuguese as well, and as we can see there's talent from Portugal, talent in pop, rock and metal. Switchtense, Moonspell, Comme Restus, Mundo Cão, Mão Morta, Rui Veloso, Tara Perdida, Xutos e Pontapés and so many more :)

[I8PplWho8MileyCyrus]

@wwescorpionx but David is also really good, he have the same voice and the musics are amazing, i'm proud of Portugal (i'm portuguese too) because of the artist like him that we have

[MikaShelley99]

I love the cover Elton John did of this

[WaldosComputer]

This guy has such a cool and original voice. Sounds English. Yep, looks like David Faustino. Good Portuguese-American face. Providencian, Bostonan? Nope. He's from Leiria. It's in Portugal, between Lisbon and Coimbra. Check it out.

[victorbigorna]

Eu realmente espero que o Brasil descubra esse cara. Muito artista.

[IMaDEM0N]

lol, I thought it was gonna be Bud from Married, With Children doing this cover.

[HornedWarMachine]

Tim Curry?

[MrJDurao]

This is absolutely genius! It just proves you don't need dancers, light&sound effects, big moves and captures to create a brilliant video! :D Congrats!

[javijanssy]

MAGIC & deep reflection...love in all aspects!!

[juventudesonica]

A batida das Ronettes foi um bom pormenor. A cover está fraca, o Davis Fonseca tem bons originais, escusa de andar a estragar músicas alheias. O vídeo está interessante, ele aprendeu a música de trás prá frente?... "was shot on the first take" (?)...o que querem realmente dizer é que o vídeo foi feito num único take, não?

[saintrambone]

Rocket Man looks like FDIC Chair Person Donna Tanoue who resigned in 2001, August. SHe became Bank of Hawaii President. I have heard some bad things. NOte the video was allegedly created with my true report of an explosion and details revealed to me about what happened. Google Mobile Audit Club

[saintrambone]

Rocketman is Braman,

Google Mobile Audit Club for facts on the American holocaust. It is due to the informal government controlling the formal government. International money is like a club that knocked us off our feet if we were ever there to begin with. America is been a bit like Hell my entire life. I will be glad to see the war criminal regime fall. What will replace it? Freedom Death Avarice Greed Imprisonment, Same Ole Stuff

[saintrambone]

Is it Justice?

[saintrambone]

Make that 11/23/2011

I am half brain dead and half blind. Thanks enemies in my mind. Mobile Audit Club helps you to see the Truth. I paid the price. It is free to you my friends in Rocket Man BraMan.......Mobile Audit Club says we need to cover our selves each other from those who rake us in the head, rape us in the head, reap us half dead.  Mobile Audit Club

[saintrambone]

11/22/2011

Z day they pulled up with their truck and trailer blocking view of you know who......Mobile AudiT Club....google us. This video is bizarre. Good shoe gutten shew.

[saintrambone]

Ludwig, Is Rocket Man BraMan? Truthfully. Google search Mobile Audit Club

[saintrambone]

Mobile Audit Club discusses bloodied rocket man who sacrificed himself to save me over the prairies of Braman Oklahoma on December 7, 2004. Read about it on todays daily foreword note at MObile Audit Club, found by Google search

[AnOnlySavior]

just by thinking David managed to make this videoclip in just 1 take..you become speechless

[califano2]

david tira isso dsa cabeça, dos lábios e dos olhos antes que eu pense que és outra coisa: 4:43

[MikaShelley99]

have to say....this is better

[Tchuniguit]

nossa, mas podia parecer menos Richard Thompson, né?

[brainburger]

This is fake he is just singing it backwards.

[jonyVa0]

Muito batido este tipo de video.. mesmo muito...

[GAMA3000]

@jonyVa0 é antigo , na altura nao era batito, e continua a estar fixe.

[jonyVa0]

youtube.com/watch?v=wZ5G_OPqXH­Y

BAh..



[49supersilva]

Esta musica é muito boa

[juju4369]

Adorooo David Fonseca



[1mrunforgetable]

WTF?

[kardo019]

Question is this man a GAY?

[boxofcookies]

@kardo019 No. Married with kids.

[sofiandrades]

@kardo019 no,, he's straight xD

[smitrolha]

@kardo019 Are you an idiot?

[angelohenriques]

@kardo019 Your a retard.

[Jackb0b1]

He looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger at the end.

[pinup60]

i love it!! cant stop watching it.. And i love his low voice, his interpretation and his expressions..

[3salamanders]

Whoa. Talk about suffering for your art. This is cool!

[bourky93]

Those last few seconds were awkward to watch for some reason

[madsketcher]

Is he supposed to be a part of an ice cream sundae?

[MrVargtid]

William Shattner did it better... sorry, it had do be said.

[TheGreatHsilgne]

The actual song starts at 0:17 if you're impatient.

[joaopescusa]

o video acho que é bastante parvo, mas a musica é muito boa

[lovedemond]

To bad they are all fucken FAGOTS!!!!

n all of them suck the solidifying bile of cumrecepticals for deserts!!!

but they look like Ken Shamrock compaired to this snowballin sissy!!!!!

lol.

silly little boobies they bore me to the point of anger...

grow an original thought or die pls...

[cometabit]

El vídeo es BUENÍSIMO

[MiguelGomes95]

eu acho que a maior dificuldade dele foi não se rir xp

[ricardinho101]

It's funny how some people think this is just a random video, David Fonseca is actually a rather popular and succesful artist in portugal and in some parts of europe...

[3salamanders]

@ricardinho101 What?? There's life outside the US/UK?!?! ;)

[ricardinho101]

@3salamanders Whatever do you mean ?

[3salamanders]

@ricardinho101 LOL! Some of the coolest stuff these days seems to be coming from Portugal and Spain. It's a shame how little play it gets out here in the US media. Thank god for the internet!

[ricardinho101]

@3salamanders Ah, thks m8, portuguese music is in a period of glory, lately we've been having great performers producing great music!

[singtofeel11]

@3salamanders i am portuguese and i give my word, David Fonseca is awesome, better than some well known artists in US :)

[icechowder98]

@ricardinho101 i know right? im portugues and i think it was fantastic that a portuguese artist could reach to sucesse in a little period of time :D

[negullah]

@ricardinho101 and the fact that he is rather popular in some parts of europe makes this video less random?

[ricardinho101]

@negullah Random video in the sense that someone did a random video and added a song to it, and no, it's the videoclip for the actual track

[suzanacvdf]

O vídeo está super!

[longjohntim]

!driew

[jacob5221]

@RubenROcks não é isso por acaso percebo a letra se quiseres eu traduzo lool sou professor de inglês o que pretendia dizer era que esta muito esquisito sei la um bocado nojento mas no bom sentido não falando mal mete te na pele dele e imagina te com aquela baba não sei que de caracol não deve ser de certeza loooool eu nao queria tar com aquela baba em cima de mi tu querias??? dai ser um bocadinho esquisito o video...

[RubenR0cks]

@jacob5221 Eu não quis dizer que não conseguias traduzi-la, mas talvez o seu sentido, porque quando li "nojento" entendi que estavas a referir-te ao propósito da canção...

[jacob5221]

@RubenR0cks nao nao disso pelo contrario adoroo david fonseca e esla é se,m duvida uma excelente musica eu adoro!!!!=)

[getlowwe]

I never knock talent, but since none was manifested while the guy was performing vocals, I will knock this. A terrible rendition of rocket man. The video was nice though.

[AguaRojo]

This is terrible. He sings like Jim Carey impersonating Elvis.

[Paranoidito]

He's Jessie J!

[lakersfan132]

wtf.

[Vikingdrummer45]

love this remake..he made it his own...clever vid!

[lana4819]

Adoro este video e a música também.. excelente David!

Muito original msm!

Continua assim..

[incinerare]

brilliant video! great cover too.



[0COTTA0]

Very original 5***** ;)

[jacob5221]

vime a obrigado a dizer ke nao gosto do video e pena pke a musica ta fixe e tudo mas o video tenhao do e nojento!!! e digo ja sou fa do david fonseca mas este video bregh!!!atrufiado pa caraças!

[RubenR0cks]

@jacob5221 só não gosta do vídeo quem não percebe a letra. deves achar a música fixe pela sonoridade, porque senão tinhas relacionado as duas coisas e gostarias do que ele fez.

[7wtk]

Se alguem nao gosta das musicas do David Fonseca nao sabem o que e musica porque ELE E O MELHOR DE TODOS OS CANTORES

Escala de umas bandas portuguesas que cantam em ingles

1-David Fonseca

2-Blasted Mechanism

3-Nelly Furtado

[hernanileal]

@7wtk come-se...

[johnpopes]

"The video was directed by David himself and was shot on the first take."

Pois, nota-se..

A ideia até era boa.

[Rumblecore]

@johnpopes Achas que ficou mal feito? A mim não me parece, e se o próprio David e a restante equipa achassem que não estava bem, editavam melhor as coisas. E se te estás a referir à sincronização dos lábios com a música em si, posso garantir-te que com os orçamentos que os artistas portugueses têm para fazer videoclips, era extremamente díficil fazer melhor, ou será que tu conseguirias, digamos em 500 takes?

[johnpopes]

@Rumblecore não é isso, ficou bem, acho que perderam foi pouco tempo a editar aquilo. A ideia era boa, mas ficou com ar de "straight out of cam". Aposto que ele perdeu mais tempo a ouvir a musica ao contrario no carro para decorar o lip sync do que a mexer naquilo..

[Dagerskin]

just in case you didn't notice, he had to sing the song backwards, so the song maches with his lips movement

[JeffBilkins]

@Dagerskin filmed backwards, very clever and makes good vid. so that's why he always has a hand/arm/goo/stuff before his mouth during the complicated vocal bits :p

[SimaoMarto]

@Dagerskin Yeah, reminds me of The Scientist by coldplay... Very nice songs, both of them...

[telesalvaro15]

@Dagerskin i was seeing that too

[MasterOfTheXP]

@Dagerskin Hurr k well I thothht he wass upside edown or sumnhting or usedd magnets

[SilentAssassin3500]

@Dagerskin the video was filmed and then reproduced backwards you dumbass -.-

[Dagerskin]

@SilentAssassin3500 You're so stupid it's almost cute. Read again my comment and then pay more attention to the video.

[MikaShelley99]

@Dagerskin same with Coldplay The Scientist

[TheJorgedafloresta]

boa regravação! Sou do Brasil e gostei..parabéns pela ousadia..tente mais companheiro......

[ligiamalheiro]

Bom vídeo. O mesmo não posso dizer da cover, tira a alma toda à versão original.:/

[Jacobant666]

@ligiamalheiro

Tendo a discordar contigo, penso que a cover é, simplesmente, mais contemporânea que a versão original do Sir.Elton John. Obviamente que quando se fazem covers de grandes srs. da música, corre-se este risco: ou se adora ou se odeia. Na minha opinião, acho que o David Fonseca esteve muito bem, bastante competente. Mas opiniões são opiniões, tal como os gostos, mas numa coisa concordo, o vídeo é divinal...

[Jacobant666]

@luisousa999

Em primeiro lugar, podias tratar melhor a nossa língua, por esta altura o Camões deve estar a roer-se todo... Quanto ao teu comentário bem fundamentado (note-se a dose de ironia aqui presente), quem se deve mudar és tu pois, se não gostas da música vai ouvir o que gostas sem importunar os outros. Podes e deves deixar a tua opinião quanto ao músico, mas de uma forma construtiva.

Um exemplo: "pessoalmente não gosto do trabalho do D.F, o que não quer dizer que não tenha valor".

[saboumboum]

Ahah, I like the "The video was directed by David himself and was shot on the first take." lol, I'm not sure I would survive if had to do that many times. Love this music!!!

[luisousa999]

é assim o gaijo canta mal com os diabos

e esta gente gosta dele

mudem se

eu falo o que quiser

e prefiro linkin park e ac dc e david guetta

[daqjesus]

@luisousa999 entao baza e nao comentes! e so gente otario, reclama por tudo e por nada. es mesmo boneco, para dizeres isso valia mais estares calado plhaço do crl

[joaopmpgnr]

@luisousa999 ~ tudo bandas pa putos de 16. eu também não gosto muito do fonseca mas curto do som do Elton John e vim ver a cover e não está má. se não gostas vai lá despender a virgindade para uma música dos linkin parques ou do david guetto.

[Jacobant666]

@joaopmpgnr não te chateies com tal demonstração de ignorância, eu quando li também me deu o "tilt" e decidi comentar para o adverter (salvo seja, obviamente). Enfim, hoje em dia, não se consegue ter uma discussão construtiva, o que demonstra o quão inculto somos... BOAS FESTAS!

[luisousa999]

é uma das piores músicas dele dou lhe 0.00000001

[TechnoMusicEditor]

@luisousa999 Era melhor se não comentasses...

[Lilianaperes]

@luisousa999 Não é dele! --'

[joaopmpgnr]

@luisousa999 É do Elton John, vai-te cultivar. 

[partypeoplediedie]

at 3:14 I think he asked me to bork him in the squeakhole.

[partypeoplediedie]

You think he'd spend a few hours practicing singing backwards. The effect is ruined by his bullshit mouth movements.

[panchovans]

@fss1994 well that clears that up! who cares - enjoy the music, it's a great cover :)

[bulmagz]

David Fonseca + Elton John = ^_^ 

[pinworms70]

This gets the 'WTF' award of the century.  Elton John is rolling over in his grave, and he aint even dead yet. Wow, this sucks to the highest level of sucktivity. Seriously, this is shit. Anyone coming back at me with some sort of defense or counter comment...Let me PRE-Reply with a hearty 'Fuck you, your a douche, you have no ear for music and the only reason your following this garbage is because your probably a whackjob'. Seriously...Shit. Did I mention this sucks balls, ass and taint?

[Harreagon]

@pinworms70

Wonderful how you have such wisdom!

If you wanna say "vote for mccain" just say it

[joaopmpgnr]

@pinworms70 You get the GAY award of the century.

[skgodv]

qué asquito...

[DeannaSweetland]

I bet the bath after this video was made was magical.

[limdulmtg]

a Man can take a lot of crap.

[alexv907]

DUDE THIS VIDEO IS MESSED!! LOOOOOL

[Abnodus]

Just great...nice cover. És um dos melhores músicos portugueses David Fonseca...continua o bom trabalho.



[joanachinesapt]

Isto lembra-me as praxes da Covilhã xD

Excelente música. Weird vídeo. Mas excelente =)

[SammySpeaksUp]

the video makes no sense. but i love the song

[thedeem0N]

this is a little bit weird...there's so many places you could go with a cover of this song...you could go Punk Rock, you could go for more of a Pop-Punk ish, you could go Neo-Classical Metal (which is where I'll eventually take it)...but this is like new wave or something, It sounds like someone who's trying too hard to be Bowie...

[Erykamartins]

ele canta, demais.... agora também é o meu predileto.... Parabens, portugueses....

[driisfree25]

É dos melhores músicos portugueses da actualidade!

[kashka333]

the visual reminds me of Mirwais' "Naive Song" vid ...aside from that aspect being pretty ok, the cover itself does an injustice to this classic Elton song...if you want a stunning cover version look up the one Kate Bush did in '91

[Kyllezable]

Great artist... better than elton jonh... for sure

[94insert]

@Kyllezable Not so sure about it.

[ViGoRiCk]

Man?You people are looking a little hard into these lyrics.The song is about a fucking astronaut retards.Elton John does not even write his own lyrics.Bernie Taupin writes his lyrics.Why would Bernie be writing about john coming out of the closet?Ask yourself please.The guy is a astronaut spending to much time away from his family.Pretty fuckin easy!Next!

[SimaoMarto]

@fss1994 And it also talks about space...

[katthestrange69]

@fss1994 totally agree with you

[jsnndlz15]

you know it is funny that no one gets the meaning.. sorry. but Elton actually said the song was about an astronaut's mixed feelings about leaving his family to perform his job as an astronaut...hence "rocket man." in fact the writer of this song thought to write it after viewing the stars and stated to Billboard the he got the inspiration more directly from a song of the same name by an earlier band.elton even performed the song at space at the rocket launch of Discovery. but your idea is cool:)

[jsnndlz15]

@jsnndlz15 i didn't mean to say at space!! lol

[zeesui]

@fss1994 Too bad Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics to this song, and not Elton John. Theory disproven.

[joaopmpgnr]

@fss1994, LOL, i get the meaning, lots of people do (way more than 27). But when this song was out he was straight (or at least hadn't admitted).

The greatest power of this ballad is that everybody interpret it on their own way.

Indeed, maybe Elton wrote this about his "gayness", but if you read the lyrics you will find way more than that.

[mjl8485]

@fss1994 It's funny that you think the song is actually about just one thing, and that NO ONE but you knows what it could be. Elton John was one of the most prolific and talented songwriters of any generation. You don't think it's possible for a person with his talent to write a song like a piece of literature, that doens't necessarily mean one thing, but is rather left up for interpretation? And would he really leave that big of a secret left locked up in a pop song?

[Etonlor333]

@fss1994 Actually, you're all wrong about it. You may think that him saying "I'm not the man they think I am at home" is a reference to him admitting his homosexuality, but in face, Rocket Man is just a song about smoking weed. Get your facts straight, Elton John was out of the closet already. You cant take one sentence and say it's a revelation.

[visional]

@fss1994 The lyrics were actually written by Bernie Taupin. It was inspired by a short story from Ray Bradbury. It's not much deeper than that. Still awesome all the same.

[toast41]

@fss1994 Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics so your theory is flawed. I think it is about how at the time (1972) astronauts were not the heroes they were in the 1960s and it was looked at as just another 9-5 job.

[Kalaverapastillera]

@fss1994 Really? I thought it was about a lonely astronaut ¬¬

[wiveykid]

@fss1994 in case you didn't know elton didn't write his own lyrics

[jcremayer]

You go through like 5 minutes of watching this epic backwords vid to find out his queer hahahahahaha

[inescostamonteiro]

A música não é das minhas preferidas! Mas o videoclip está perfeito!

Parabéns :D Adorei*

[indiemusiclover88]

enhorabuena!!!

no te conocia hasta aora he visto un articulo en una revista

m he metido por aki y m encanta lo k tienes!!

[UserRinnegan]

Trabesti?!

[totodeumquartodetige]

A voz dele faz-me tanto lembrar o elvis =P

Amo-tee David Fonsecaa =D

[pmfb]

Imaginem aquilo que o David Fonseca conseguiria alcançar se participasse na Eurovisâo

[SpoofyProduction]

Nice... Drag Queenness

[bruno96pt]

um dos melhores artistas portugueses!

[JenniferSilvaOday]

Elton knows about this video and song..and he said he likes it.

[vertigospumante]

I like the video...but this song not so much.

[Melllvaaaaarg]

dont think this is the best cover, (not saying its bad), but im really liking the video :)

[defaultuser8]

á quem diga que david tirou ideia disto de um video de mutemath Typical mas claro que estou a "vender o peixe ao mesmo preço que o comprei" de qualquer das maneiras cuddos para as duas bandas mencionadas. da lhe david.

[Naiuhz]

I think it's going to be a long, long time, for me to recover from watching this video.

[tramagacity]

@Naiuhz the track " the 80`s IS ALSO COOL

[reapermachine]

WTF?

[Andre0Salgado]

era fixe ke alguem metes o "making of" no youtube

[MtnHerper13]

very cool sync.

[Tantrumzero]

Cant see the connection betwen this gay muppet, and the Elton - Rocket Man song ive come to know. Which is for me for me, a scy-fi daydream.

This video just seems to promote some heavy gay issue, that i was never introduced to.

[tramagacity]

@Tantrumzero he is not gay, if he tried to pass than on the video i dont know but Elton John is the fucking real gay for your info

[afonsanho]

eu pessoalmente nao gosto da musica do david fonseca mas e das musicas que eu mais gosto!

[abberjagger4]

This isnt even real.

[rrene1985]

Excelente version !!!!!!

[FailarielArFeiniel]

David Fonseca is really talented (: I'mf rom portugal and I'm proud that he's from Portugal too...the thing is, if he was from america or smthing he would be more famous ... he's one of my favorite singers ^^

[MutantLitherKhan]

When carnies direct their own music videos, nobody wins.

[devbigalow]

what is this horrible video...... and this inhalation of a great song, what a faggot

[aliceazoresland]

this song is from elton john, so your comment is ironic =p

[abberjagger4]

@aliceazoresland No shit its Elton John it isnt even real. DUH!!

[DemonHWE]

@abberjagger4 the song was originally from elton john, this is a cover made by David Fonseca. He did a remarkable job with it. And this is real, it shows his talent at least. He's one of the few people who still work a lot on their songs, and its good. His fans are always winning.

[abberjagger4]

@DemonHWE Ok it just looks fake a little bit, and yes i know it is made by Elton John, I went to the concert in Des Moines so yeah.

[abberjagger4]

@abberjagger4 yes i know i went to the concert DUH!!!!!!!!!!!

[PazouwhProductions]

what is this video about i know the song but i mean whats with the vid slime, powder, what the freak is with this?????

[SADFACE1000]

look at that two timing cross dressing mother fucker

[TheScpforever]

isto só mostra que o david fonseca tem muito melhor qualidade do que Elton. Mas Elton tem sorte em ter nascido no país da música...

DAVID FONSECA = GÉNIO

[wanted1993]

Great videoclip + Cover.
