Only the lonely-Chris isaak

[katlusty]

I love Orbison but this one is real easy to look at......and listen to. Love it.

[imbueto]

i've known wesley orbison since we were in our first year of high school. i've only met roy and barbara a couple of times.

roy was a very quiet man, when he spoke it was wisdom and truth.

(i.e.) one day we were jammin to some zeppelin, when wesley looked at me and said: "my daddy always told me, dont strain your voice, and it'll last forever." ;)/

[SA3478]

Roy would be proud

[d57z12]

This has to be the ONLY version that even begins to approach Roy Orbison's original. Good on ya Chris!

[patrish60]

What an amazing voice !!!!!!!!!!!

[zbeckabee]

Just because someone likes this version...doesn't mean they are "newbies"...how very arrogant!



[golfnut112]

Chris, grats from your hometown of Stockton. My wife went to Stagg with you. Again you made us proud

[gary26087]

Love Chris, BUT...Listen to Roy's version newbies!!! (If Roy was as handsome as Chris...Elvis woulda been in BIG trouble!:-)

Gary Holt

[dsfddsgh]

Chris Isaak always looked and sounded like the old rockers from the late 50's. Yet his sound was modern too..

[steveyraynelson]

you should see Chris and the band live! That show is un for GET able!

[char1hon]

MY mom loved Roy Orbinson

[dandanjanett1]

YES ROY WOULD BE PROUD!!!!!!!!!!

[landryn73]

Naprawdę świetny cover

[PatriciaPaulAZ]

I don't usually like covers, but this one is fantastic! Chris Isaak's voice is so well suited to it! He's quite the crooner!

[pablocamarotte]

The past have come to stay! ;)

[BRIGHTDEY]

I thought I was swooning,,,, then it got to min 2:10 and I fell right out my chair !

[mimi2urn]

Would never have believed anyone could cover ANY song by the late, great Roy O til I heard Chris Isaak's version!!! OMG! Fantastic!!!

[chandravene]

Amazing voice, amazing range. I too, think Roy would be proud. Roy gone too soon, but Chris carries on with with his special talent

[OzzInter]

@chandravene

Chris Isaak's voice's always reminded me of Roy Orbison's.

This very good cover version only proves this!

Brilliant!

[pawsjones]

Beautiful!!

[thaunbeated]

good cover! but the title is fake ;) i came here for Chris his version hehe :P still good version tho :)

[kattyw2]

Im just in love with this man!!! <3<3<3 

[jb195935]

this guy gotta true voice

[bchbys]

smooooooth!

[ryckoffr]

What soul...! That is the most incredible cover I've ever heard. The only one (besides Roy, of course) who could do justice to this song.

Asolutely beautiful.

[fromthispoint]

He is just sexy way bad sexy.

[dgridley]

Great cover.. I love Orbison and Isaac does an awesome job, kind of a mix of Orbison, Ricky Nelson, and Elvis in there.. ;)

[soboliboful]

gr8 song!love it :X :X :X

[noisepuppet]

If you didn't already know Chris worships Roy Orbison, you do now. And a hell of a job he does of it, too.

[drudawg911]

Chris Isaak, worthy of singing this song.. maybe even he does it better... MAYBE!

[angeLinterupted]

can't wait to see him at mornington racecourse in march

[corationgson]

Chris Isaak beats Michael Buble ANY TIME. Beats Frank Sinatra. Chris has a stye that will melt hearts... what a voice!!!Love, love , love his style.

[BlankfrackCripledFUK]

@corationgson Michael Buble can beat off Chris Issak when their snorting coke together,but thats about it.

[corationgson]

Chris Isaak beats Michael Buble ANY TIME. Beats Frank Sinatra. Chris has a stye that will melt hearts... what a voice!!!Love, love , love his styel.

[AnnaK40]

when the girls were screaming over Bon Jovi, I was swooning over Chris Isaak, and his lovely album, Silvertone.... back in the 80's!!! Beautiful version!!!

[JoeyOhm]

wow, amazing rendition. Love Orbison and Chris did this righteous, under rated SF Bay area talent.

[kakoulaful]

what a voice... what a music... just great

[ecmjr]

Roy would have been proud.

[sugaplum37]

fantastic

[tonydean33]

Top version of a great song!

[gloyahoo]

Awesome singer - has a unique voice - he unfortunately is not given the credit that he deserves. He is one of my favorite singers.

[justducky2009]

Great sound quality on this video, thanks for sharing! What a great voice and performance.

[manyana6]

Brilliant singer...love him

[AIRPROMARCO]

mrThrastarson, you can find " my girl " by chris isaak on 123video.nl

Don't know why it's not on youtube anymore ???

[MrThrastarson]

why can i not find the cover song my girl with cris isaak on youtube anymore?

[EmpressOfWyoming58]

I've always thought Chris Isaak sounded like he could be Roy's long lost kid brother. Love him.

[ruskin57]

@EmpressOfWyoming58 Yes, his voice has similar qualities ~ marvellous rendition.

[MC2051991]

He sounds like he doesn't even want to be there. Miserable to listen to.

I like some of his performance but not this one.

[haddara]

One of the most underrated singers of all time!

[blueberriejellybean]

Chris obviously has 10 bitter ex girlfriends!

[EmpressOfWyoming58]

@blueberriejellybean Nah, jealous boyfriends of his adoring girl fans, like moi.

[vdbennett317]

Chris Isaak is the only one, oter that Roy, who does this song with "true Feelings" WTG Chris!!

[jl75750]

Awesome!!  And on a Gibson acoustic no less....

[BEASTLESSANDMILD]

One could get the impression that not Roy Orbison but Chris Isaak wrote this song.

He definitely sounds like the man who has experienced that love misery.

Orbison and Isaak are great.I love them both

[MrTotsa]

красиво

[Bruce7219a]

great! i love this song!

[planatlaw]

It's hard to cover a classic, but Chris does an admirable job,and the production on this is incredible. If only Roy Orbinson had had this back-up band and production crew.

[Hixyboyblue]

@planatlaw ha ha, I think Roy managed just fine. It needs the dum dum dum dumby do wah in it ha ha ha but Isaak has got obvious skills

[PRiNCESSABBY726]

IF you ever have the chance to see Chris Isaak, take it. He's amazing.

[easton55]

Isaak and his band are so incredible together. Love pretty much everything these guys do, covers and originals. Just great music! :)

[123mollieb]

The closest my generation will ever get to Elivs and Roy Orbison

[paulbuss]

@123mollieb I have for years wanted to hear Isaak's interpertation of Big 'O

[123mollieb]

The closest my generation will ever get to Elivs and Roy Orbison

[HERNANDEZ92880]

My dad loved Roy Orbison and I love the way Chris Isaak sang this one.

[ck1chrs]

I saw him live last year @ the beacon theater in nyc it was the best concert i've ever been to

[19music57]

@ck1chrs Saw him last week... bought the live CD, Live at the Fillmore (2010). You will love it !!! Just like re-living the energy of his live show.....

[laurinhapilla]

It's just me or he sounds a little bit like Elvis?

[AllenChanThree]

@laurinhapilla Chris does sound a lot like the King, but then again 80 percent of the male singers [and maybe 20 percent of the female singers] have "bits" from Elvis. Add to that that there are many artists who have inspired others. Elvis inspired The Beatles, The Beatles inspired ... and the Latin beat is heard around the world too.

I just made up those percentages, but they represent my viewpoint.

[Extremmoviefanatic]

Thanks for sharing this. Chris is amazing.

[DanDelvis]

Nice version. a little different from Roy's but good. Please check out my version if you get a chance. love Dan Dell

[totallyamazing36]

@DanDelvis Chris's version is good, but yours is GREAT!!

Marilyn

[ChiChiBabe44]

@DanDelvis You know how I feel......You are the best. Jo.

[gknsintermetals]

if you like this kind of beautifull vocals check out Raul Malo of The Mavericks like Chris one of my all time favorites.

[plajr924]

Chris Isaak is the man. If you haven't seen him live, you are missing one of the greatest singers of our time! His voice, humor and showmanship are not to be missed.

[tracyconnell]

i cant believe that someone can sing this as well as roy orbison. fantastic.

[BrooksDiamond]

CLASSIC!!

[lizchristshome1]

I never thought I'd ever hear anyone sing this better than Roy Orbison. Chris Isaak has the most amazing voice I've ever heard. His Blue Moon is also better than Elvis's. Of course Wicked Game is amazing! I would love to go to a live concert.

[cappy6921]

@lizchristshome1 YOU WOULD NOT BE DISAPOINTED,,I HAVE SEEN HIM LIVE TWICE NOW AND WOULD GO AGAIN.

[Tigerlily21]

No one is more perfect for singing Roy Orbison! No one! Love this man. What a voice, charisma, and talent.

[Bobi0411]

10 idiots dislike this....how can someone dislike this?....the song,the voice....amazing!

[TheWillow3]

WOW!

[petewingnut]

It's one thing for a singer to hit the notes, another is timbre & Chris Isaak has timbre.

[progressivethinking]

simply amazing voice and sensibility..

[4Pequeno]

Roy Orbitson appreciated Chris Isaak and so the legacy continues...Isaak and his superb band are superlative in the studio and on stage... Truly Awesome! Thank you so much for this quality post.♥Dawn/4Pequeno

[rubyrose456]

So Beautiful......

[urbanpkrider31]

his voice is like elvis presley mixed with perfection :D :D ;)

[AirdrieUnitedDaft]

Airdrie United song :P

[tellthetruthg]

love this cover

[mesienna]

Wow super,Chris is one of my faverites.That voice of him...................

There,s just One Roy Orbison,but also One Chris Isaak!! Love him.

Greetings of the Netherlands.

[Tomek2209790]

Klasyka muzyki! Niesamowity Gość. Najpiekniejsza muza dla uszu!!!!

[Butterfly81Blue]

Chris cu chitara si-o voce superba...rezultatul...melodii eterne!

[wonderbar57]

I agree Roy would be proud. What a clear and crisp rendition of one of Roy Orbison's true classics. I have just discovered Chris Isaak and look forward to catching his other performances. Thanks for sharing.

[vintagezigg]

Great cover ! Roy would be proud.

[LONGAPHIE]

that is the los lobos

[zaaritha]

This is good!

But Roy Orbison is the best!

[berend1959]

This music gives peace in your hart. thanks for this great song Roy, great performance Chris.

[paologoooo]

He had honey is his voice that night

[bigfly66]

My god, what an unbelievable voice he has.

[Flozzy1000]

Love this guy's haunting voice.

[bessjenny]

WOW

[Oldtinear]

Mr Isaak has a pleasant enough voice, but he has not the range needed for this song. He starts low, and his low notes lose some musicality. And in the 'chance...You've gotta take' high notes, he bottles it, emphasising the wrong word 'chance' and skidding over the top-note 'You've'.

You need Orbison's freakish range for this song.

[beachboy5252]

what a lovely voice.....well done chris

[trinitybenkaiazeth]

Roy would be proud

[MaxVassilyev]

You meens Roy Orbison? Best regards from Kazakhstan!!!

[SuperKiteman]

Super job Chris!  I am one of the lonely. Kiteman

[cappy6921]

Chris Isaak has a true singers voice, not too many singers can do a fantastic job without a mixer fixing them up.i have been listening to him since the 80's."Wicked Game" is one of his best!

[Thespiriticlan]

@cappy6921 I love Wicked Game because it was my deceased ex-boyfriend utmost favorite song.!

[pistirrijin]

@cappy6921 i agree withyouuuu! :D

[018jill]

I don't think Chris even knows how cute he is!

[girllovesmusic]

oh, he probably does... doesn't stop him being cute, though! ;)
