Escape by Eric Violette

[skrawnykid100]

Eric did the voice in the commercials, just not in the videos.

[skrawnykid100]

Eric actually sang when he was doing the commercials, he just didn't do it in the videos.

[Lanieannette]

i love his voice, more than "his" voice in the commercials.

[zavalachris98]

@Lanieannette thats because it wasnt his voice on the commercials. they recorded the voice first and then he just acted it out. look it up your self if you dont believe me.

[zavalachris98]

@Lanieannette here, i even got the interview where he admits that it wasnt his voice in the commercials. just look this up on youtube. the video is called FreeCreditReport.co- Commercial break #120

[mcmice666]

it has a good doors feel to it nice song

[scubawrestler]

The commercials are all voiceovers with lip sync by the cast. I've been trying to find the studio band who provides the sound track.

[phillyphil690]

Not bad, I'm not overwhelmed, but not bad. I'm actually kind of relieved that the band in the commercials are not an actual band (they aren't, right?). He should really quit doing those commercials. Oh yeah, money. So I wonder when the actual singer from the commercials will start making vids.

[sivazh]

Man, his singing voice is totally different here. Awesome falsetto he puts on in the commericals, I like it better!

[spins321]

The guys don't sing nor play the instruments in the commercials.

[shameusyo]

@sivazh

yeah, he's lip singing in the commercials.

[blueindian18]

Wow, never would have expected this. Never in a million years. Not bad at all.

[valerie2776]

get out of here, guy

[AprilReign]

i wonder what inspired this song by him...it sounds just like the personification of Clyde Barrow (of Bonnie & Clyde) just like he is describing Clyde's life. Especially leaving Eastham Work Farm Jail in Texas. i hope he posts more of his singing... I really like it - I only heard him once before speaking in French - i love his French accent when he speaks English :)

[CarrollAP]

You are right, the gay guys do dig him. Yum!!

[VeroniqueAime]

I really get a Jim Morrison vibe from this performance which is a huge compliment considering I am a "day 'til I die" Doors fan. I know this vid is over a year old but still fantastic now as I view it!

[MaxwellsAttourney]

I see what you mean. I get a Zeppelin vibe from the lyrics. Similiar to the theme of "Gallow's Pole".

[Aspenfash899]

holy shit your right

XD i love the doors

[Edwardvaira]

you wouldn't expect him to have a thick french accent after watching his commercials.

[irishballa10]

they're dubbed

[chillstills]

his voice is dubbed in the commercials

[MrKeithis18]

omg the gay guys would eat him alive:0 yummy

[alejandro15187]

damn, dude can really sing. He needs a backing band. Great pipes

[GabbiGunman]

Wow.

This guy is amazing!

Even thought i cried when i found out he was lip syncing the comericals, i wish he wasnt.

I like his voice and accent!

This guy is amazing!!!!

[alexander1485]

isn't this the free credit report guy?

[GodRocksOutLoud]

yes.

[ItsJulieee]

yes it is

[StoogeWatcher]

He's in the commercials, but he doesn't sing. Another actor dubs over because Violette has a thick French-Canadian accent.

[andrewcarbo]

This doesn't make me want to check my credit score....1 star

[pierreislove]

i like it. ;)

[hlomsichi]

I have loved this guy since I first saw one of the commercials...when I read he wasnt singing I was heartbroken...but now hearing him actually sing...WOW...he is GREAT!

[fredwardaman]

He is so gorgeous, with his smile and big brown eyes and long hair. He is an amazing singer, my heart melted when I heard him sing. His voice is so immensely deep and charming, I can't even describe it. You can feel it in your heart when you hear him sing.

[fredwardaman]

He is so gorgeous

He has the mmost amazing voice

My heart melts whenever I hear him sing

How can this video only have 38,00 views?

He is so hot and his accent and deep melting voice is so immensley charming , I can even describe it

eric violette is awesome. keep it up

[jeremykyleftw]

hmm initially i thought it was awful, but it gets marginally better.

[Mikari27]

Oh man, these lyrics are soooo bad. Hahaha, oh man. I would hope they're better and more cohesive in French. I'm sure it's lost in translation. Right? Eh? Anyone?

[mygodyoureugly]

I love him! Well... i love his facial expressions... his smile knocks me off my feet. I had read an article the other day that he wasn't really singing... but i knew he was a musician... so i looked for something of his and here i am. And he's pretty good. love the accent anddd i love his hair.

[southernstar0946]

Sexy.. he is so gorgeous.. I love his voice and his style is similar to Jim Morrison.. damn.. hot.

[LisaMarieTaylorxxx]

LOL i take it you like him.. hahaha he is pretty hot. I reeally like this song... and yes he does remind me of a Jim Morrison..

[southernstar0946]

Im in love..he is so gorgeous... lol

[Trampsiful]

Well I was shopping for a new car, which ones me.....

[linkganonz]

he has an accent so they dub it so people dont get confused with some of the things he says.

[jmac16]

They should use your voice, your voice is hot.

J'ai traduit ceci : Ils devraient utiliser votre voix, votre voix est grande. Vous êtes très sexy

[fraggler2]

why do they not use your voice in those commercials?!?!?!

[hlomsichi]

His accent is too thick so his voice was dubbed for the American commercials.

[SaintlyCitySue]

The commercials only run in the U.S. - there are no French versions.

[VSaryaV]

He is beautiful and talented and so sexy

*purr***

[shameusyo]

HES FUCKING HOT. OMG.

[psycho826]

lmfao

[psycho1387]

Nice name! NO affence but he sound better on the Free Credit Repotrt . COm commercials! :P (:

[Bratzoholic]

um....u know he lipsynced that right? someone else sang for him...

[daisylou100]

o no and i thought that was his best by far, i'm so sad lypsync r u sure

[SaintlyCitySue]

He has a beautiful name and a great voice! I agree that the voice used on the commercials is a better fit for the character.

[phsgradin2005]

Oh crap....he has an accent, plays guitar, has sexxi hair, and sings....YOW!

[southernstar0946]

He is gorgeous. I didnt like him at first but I seen him progress on the Free Credit Report commericals and my god he has gotten so gorgeous.. He has it all.. good looks, talent, and that gorgeous hair..

[KaMaFie]

YEOOW!

Eric is sooooo sexy.....hot as hell.

WHY are we not seeing more of him?

Talent agents......HELLOOOO?

Oh, and I like his voice MUCH better than the dubbed one on the commercials.

S-E-X-Y spells sexy, rock me anytime bay-bee!

[iglesia292]

I hope you're talking about your cat. If not you don't have many morals to post this for everyone to see including any kids who are reading this blog witheir kids.

[iglesia292]

Really cool vid. Wish the camera was a little closer. They should've let you do the t.v. ads in your voice Mr. Violette. You are a very talented young man. God Bless

[fredwardaman]

Um.....OK, but I'm from New Zealand.

[HeatherKJamieson]

That must be where your brains are.  Classy.

[fredwardaman]

Call me gay but I think he's sexy!

[fredwardaman]

Call me gay but I think he's sexy!

[simplyme121588]

wow he is really hot

[hot2trotstallion]

Reminds me of Jim Morrison.

[ChoctawCreek]

He is such a sweetheart.

[callie6032004]

[catlillith]

He has a very nice voice

[birgittalovesjohn]

Vous êtes magnifiques!

[lauraoldro]

How many marriage proposals do you get a week? Consider this one more. Okay?

[MRPROH]

why would they cast a french canadian guy for the commercials??? im confused...who sings the lyrics in the commercials.????????????

[acelopez27]

An unnamed studio artist sings the songs. David Mulhenfeld from the Martin Agency wrote the songs.

[southernstar0946]

They should use his real voice.. he is awesome singer... Gorgeous too!!

[BritJanny]

OMG Eric too cool !!!!!!!!!

Nice to hear you sing in English .great voice .. xx

[justjoey14]

I am very glad that his guitar playing is real. :]

[Spiceofmadrid]

hes actually better than the free credit report guys voice!

[Anonymouslives]

Nice singing Eric, You're a really cool guy!

[DarqueSoul]

from what I understand, Dave Mulhefeld does the dub over in the ads...

[mkcm123]

Its not his voice on the commericals!!

[lauraoldro]

Your guitar skills are insane.

[OceanAngel909]

Loved the new video!! Your voice is so much better than the commercial dub-over singer's! Definitely Jim Morrisonnesque!! (like from "American Prayer")

Eric, Did you intend your style to be like Jim's was? Sends chills up and down my spine!! ;)

[optimaver]

Finally!!! More E.V.'s music! AWESOME. Thanks for posting Eric. I expect -and hope- we'll hear more of it.

I don't care if anyone minds, but here on the theme's subject: having worked at some point with ex-convicts, they are a largely untapped workforce. Most of them are genuinely seeking 'getting back on track', needing guidance/understanding. The results as always are mixed, however, seeing first hand how things work, a lot of the people who are really committed, are denied an opportunity.

[HeatherKJamieson]

Great comment. In the U.S., about 1 in every 31 adults is in jail or on supervised release. Either we are the most evil people on earth or we are doing something very wrong.

[MelyssaAKASkittlez]

Great video.

[annibe11e]

Beautiful, Eric. I got a youtube account just to comment on this video!

Belle

[janet20099]

I like this voice better then the one on the commercials lol. I like his accent, it sounds really cool too :)

[pooinurface]

Come play at my house. I love you. This song is amazing, really makes me think. Thank you for being wonderful.

[heartbravado1]

Oh my God, I love you. Not even kidding. =) Scary, i know!!! ;P

[Anonymouslives]

Great job. Doesn't sound like your voice on the commercials. I think you may have a voice over for the commercials?

[chinupcheerup]

I love it! Made me smile when I signed on and saw a new video.

[andifisayitsme]

Tu chante bien, c'est bonn :)

[zfalcon]

Your English is getting much better....see all that commercial work pays off !

[iheartfamke]

when i saw escape i thought you meant the muse song

but anyways you have a great voice!

[vlk41]

I love your voice!
