Brian McKnight - 6 8 12

[274DLUKZ]

haha he wasn't off key at 1:15 if you actually listen to him and his chords... its just right as he blended it through the song

[dhiyaren]

Well for all human kind who's thinking that it's an off key. It's not.

Because you all are not musicians if you know what I'm talking about.

Look at the chord that he used at the second stanza which is 1:10, it's actually the same as this 00:13. So if he's voice is off note, he'll use the same next chord that he used in 00:13 because that's the original but he didn't at 1:10. just observe the difference of the next chords.

[willygca1]

i just logged in to say that at 1:15 there was nothing wrong with his voice, for sure yu guys are not singers, he was just playing with his voice while the chord was changing... why don`t you guys just shut up and enjoy the music?!?!?!

[atrienneyates78]

He was not off key @ 1:15...dang...it was a chord change people.

[laizaslz18]

esse lugar é muito lindo....

[JSimpthePimp]

Uhmmm Brian wasn't off key at 1:15... SMH Perhaps too challenging for someone with little music knowledge to understand...

[DandBMonk]

I remember this came out back in Junior High. Brian's voice gives music the business! LOL!

[mossyburger]

but it's true there was some problem with the guitar chord at 0:45, but hey everyone makes mistakes.

[mossyburger]

hey guys that was no error, Brian's jazz theory is way past the ordinary human. the reharmonization is at a higher plane. i'm just sayin'.

[apukaastig]

1:15 is not an error...just a change of note...and a part of this rendition.

just so u know...

[schs19947]

@apukaastig EXACTLY....he meant to change the note...how is a experienced artist like Brian b off key..he know what he's doin wit the song

[jheaniejed02]

love it...!!!!

[danielevansofficial]

was on purpose, he always changes the tracks, and its such a subtle but brilliant change, only those with real musical ear will realise its an intended change...awesome...

[danniboii831]

I don't think his voice crack. Just added a diminish to a minor chord. there. Like many say. Add a little flavor to the song. Nice song.

[loveman0502]

To all you commenting on what Brian sang I'm a musician as well and what Brian did at 1:15 was put in a minor chord at that point and to me it sounds really good. it gives the music a different flair from the normal version that we accustom hearing. so there's nothing wrong with his singing and also his voice wasn't cracking it's how he chose to sing the song.

[waltifl66]

Lençóis Maranhense

[waltifl66]

Bed Maranhão - Maranhão

He has that and many other places in Brazil that would surely love.

[gkkhan]

does anyone know what part of Brazil is he at, because I would love to go there one day?

[THERIPPER216]

yall should see the real brazil.. hella murders goin on.. and it dnt look too purrty either

[Henrytage]

I'm Brazilian... I'd Like to see Brian... Nice Song

[excalibur1814]

I like what he did at 1:15, went up the range to add a nice tone. I think he did that on purpose. Fantastic singer

[Jinnel0220]

nice song Brian i love it this song for GF!! i love u ♥EssA♥

[pdotdots]

the scenery matches his singing perfectly lol

[lukesteel1]

hey i got a note:  do you think this i..i.sss a nonissue?

haha

[markulit]

oh, ok. that wasnt so hard to explain, i guess. i just don't think ballbags should resort to such talkin. thanks anyway. i do think brian's a great artist. i just did not like what i heard at 1:15. personally. tnx

[xCGCx]

I really love his songs love him too..hihihii

[0sweety0]

the wind is blowing so hard!! he sounds great!! its hard to sing under those conditions!! shut up!!

[vanillanova]

beautiful song, beautiful voice.

And for those commenting on Brian's off key on 1:15, oh c'mon people he's only human!

[theassassin43]

He's human? lol just playin'. And either way, he recovered and hit the note. His voice just cracked.

[amhiss]

reg this is one is for you..miss you honey.

[monikiximenes]

beautiful song, beautiful voice.

[senfastek]

@vanillanova it's debatable whether he was off key or not because he has a habit of putting a fresh spin on his songs each time he performs them. as for me, i actually like it the way he sings it on this video. it gives the song a jazzy element which is appropriate since his guitar playing has a jazzy feel to it.

[IvoryKeys10]

wow...this is an amazing recording, so nice :)

[Riiajanelle]

when he said "do you wish it was me calling you" wasnt that a littl ebit off dont u think?

[jaylegaspi]

Maybe, but he landed on a note that actually fits in the chord that he was playing... even if it was a flub, it's a great recovery. :)

[Riiajanelle]

it actually sounds like his voice is cracking. but it was a great recovery

[12mamine1227]

uhu ;c

[safdardear]

i love dis song....

i miss him

i wish his doing fine wherever he is...

[AudioInklined]

so what if he was off key?? seriously, do you think all the singers who press records are "on key" every time they sing, acoustic?? you've got the wool pulled over your ignorant eyes if you do.

[Draca3]

i've heard so many go off key in acoustic, because they don't have the filters over their voices during those parts... but its cool, u hear the more natural sound of their voices this way

[AudioInklined]

Draca, all filters aside, you gotta admit, its still beautiful. and real beautiful voices don't need filters. and thats about 99.99% the case with Brian McKnight I think.

[Draca3]

Totally, i agree with you.

[markulit]

hey hold your horses audiolnklined. i'm not anti brian mcknight or something, i actually do like his song. i was just being honest and he really did went off key and it was a surprise to me too coz he's a great singer. You know what, artists should really learn how to accept comments, whether its a critisism or a complement. it helps them become better. you should doing that too. =)

[ballbags]

If you're implying he was out of tune, then fuck you're a retard.. you're obviously not a musician or a very poor one. he went straight to Eflat minor then Aflat maj in that 'off key' transition and sung an improvised melody accordingly. Your retarded untrained ears couldn't hear that simply because it was different from the original. If you don't know what you're talking about then "OMG!" stfu.

[markulit]

know wat im not gonna waste my time on you. . . you dont take constructive critisism. that is my own opinion. you are actually resorting to trash talking. how pathetic. i think your bored! go find something to do!! find a job or something! shoo! i was not even adressing my last message to you. gotta go, i got more "important things" to handle.. don't bother me again with nonesense.

[ballbags]

Constructive criticism? Dude, you made a statement that was completely WRONG. So I've corrected you.. looks like you're the one that can't take the criticism. Having said that, your reply deserves trash talk, because you're obviously an ignorant retard who can't tell an unorthodox chord progression when he hears one.. You should find a job, because critiquing music is obviously not your thing.. pffft.

[markulit]

haha, you know wat, your funny. . . i like you. you're really a fanatic of brian mcknight. its like your LIFE to defend him. hehe. kip it up. i'm sticking to MY opinion. and your sticking to YOUR opinion. thats fine with me. good day. i got other videos to watch.. chao

[immakrnbo1]

LOL! sorry but ballbags > markulit...total OWNAGE!

[markulit]

LOL! YEAH I KNOW. ballbags really wins this. shoot. i was trying to improve my trash talk. tsk i guess im not as good as him. haha! i want another round!!

[immakrnbo1]

i like your sarcasm. you get a point too.

[Makkaer1111]

his name is ballbags.. isn't that like 85 million negative points?

[MarkoSogz]

wow where is hee?? lol Beautiful place..it looks very calming and relaxing...paradise , especially with the music and him singing..wow what else would one ask for?? BLISS

[02FreeSpirit]

Somewhere in Brasil

[xjefranny]

[ipswichgirl05]

[fsumpter]

Beautiful song for a beautiful background. Wish i was there.

[bA6yCh0ppA]

[BRASILEIRINHO99]

100 palavras..toca como canta...parabéns brian!!!

[RandyPutraW]

It's a great place to visit. I've been there.. Lencois,, Brazil. Anyway, well done

[JakeHallofficial]

i don't think he messed up at all - he just adding/changing parts on this particular version

[Draca3]

correct, he did change it. I was listening to this recording and the original recording. He changed it for the setting.

[JakeHallofficial]

i know i'm correct. that's why i said it

[Bigturns33]

When i saw him live i couldnt believe how unreal he was. One of the most musically talented whether with instraments and his voice is just unreal. One of the best of all time.

[6stringmonster]

hippest cat out there if you ask me.

[mmmmmdoggydog]

no but hu was askin yhu na im just kiddin

[krazymugetsu89]

Guitarists can learn a lot about accompanying singers in this video...it's the perfect combination of subtle jazz chords and pop. And the great thing is, it's not that complicated...a little chord substitution can go a long way.

[alexva210]

Could you tab it for us then please?

hehe

[thnderprfectmind]

i posted my rendition of this version on my youtube page. check it out and rate it. Thanks!

[beanthank]

[thnderprfectmind]

I just figured out the tabs for this song. Brian's got some major chord knowledge. Definately a Jazz man.

[heavensshore]

where are the tabs? I'd love to try to play this song...

[thnderprfectmind]

I honestly watched painstakingly as he made changes and used my ear. He definately has some Jazz chords in it. i will try to cover this version on my page sometime soon and will have my hands in clear view for you.

[juliandra25]

i love this song.

[milanvh]

[leeantony]

[CandKforever]

The best singer of the world...

[Dynas1967]

It's so beautiful ! the landscape too...

[sorryboo]

you r a butifull soul

[bboycrashin]

i never knew he played the guitar!!!

[Trouble611]

He plays a multitude of instruments. If I'm not mistaken, his strongest instrument is the bass guitar. He's very strong on that and the piano especially.

[wrauck]

All that and he was good enough to play pro basketball out of college, he obviously chose to follow a musical career

[HarlemWorldbaby]

Just Beautifu!! Is there anyway that you can make the volume much higher?? Than everything would be perfect:)

[theassassin43]

Sorry but no... I'll work on it somemore.

[charlesdiggs05]

it almost made me cry forreal... It reminded me of something close to home...
