you sing really well! i was expecting to watch just the piano bit, but your singing is great too... your little variation on the song works really nicely too. THUMBS UP!

[etienne214]

@jas26n thank you very much!! a lot of people actually get surprised when i sing. thanks so much for watching and for the great comment!!!

[eskimoinflorida]

... WOW... That was so incredible.

[etienne214]

@eskimoinflorida thank you very very much!!

[sdkfun414]

Hey can you put another video up of u playing but with a view of the top of the keys?? It was absolutly beautiful!

[etienne214]

@sdkfun414 hi!! thanks so much for watching. I'm not one for tutorials and to be perfectly honest, I don't actually remember how to play this song! However, thanks so much for watching and for leaving a great comment!

[saladoom]

I really like it. I always admire people who can play piano as well as you.

[etienne214]

why thank you very much!!! it's great to get comments like these!!

[allfromthesoul]

WOW. you are an incredible pianist and have a really nice voice! (: you'd probably be a tenor for a 4 part voice right?

that really was ridiculously great! thanks for showing visible passion (:

[etienne214]

thanks so much for watching!!!! that was quite an awesome comment. i would say i'm a baritone. i know i have a few tenor notes but sometimes they go really really high. thanks again so much for watching!!!

[allfromthesoul]

haha i try to keep a person motivated. after second thought, baritone is actually more reasonable. still, good job! (:

[LeChatNoir93]

you can do magic, don't you?

:)

[etienne214]

lol i wish!! that would be awesome in a really dorky way . . . which would be kind of just awesome!! unless you mean real magic. that would be AWESOME. i do my best here. thanks for watching!!!

[imemilyjane]

Wow. Just the fact that you are playing the piano and singing along makes this cover amazing. Incredible job!

[etienne214]

lol thank you!!! i think rachael plays the piano while singing no?? i do love this song. one of the best unrequited songs ever.

[roxehy]

Arbeit über den Gesang, Spitze pechartig und Scharfes in einigen Plätzen aber das Klavier' s ziemlich gut.

[etienne214]

thank you for the comment! i will take that into consideration.

[czimon]

oh man, your voice has the potential to be mind blowing. this song isn't exactly out there for stretching vocal capacity but still... maybe a little pitchy in some areas but i take it you were overpowered by the raw passion.

the way you sang the first line--"if i could take you away"-- you had me there.

mad piano skills as well! keep playing.

[etienne214]

thank you very much!!! i have a bunch of vids. please check them out if you can! thanks for watching!

[olivejuiceleah]

ooo I forgot to ask! The reason I was looking up covers in the first place is because I want to perform this for a benefit concert and I was wondering if you have the sheet music?? I'm REALLY dying for it because I can't work with megachords well for this song :[ It would be so helpful if you had sheet music for this song.

[etienne214]

hey no i'm sorry i actually don't have the sheet music to it. i learned it by ear! you can totally do it. it's not too difficult but if you have any questions let me know!

[olivejuiceleah]

this is my favorite cover of this songg! i even like it as much as the real songgg. your voice is SO nice!! hahaha i love it (:

[etienne214]

wow thanks very very much!! favorite cover! that means a lot. i'm glad you liked it!

[z0ulala]

Sorry for my english i'm french so i don't speak very well

Your voice is so beautiful, your play piano very well and the mix of chopin and this song is perfect, i love it

[etienne214]

merci beaucoup d'avoir regarde ma vidéo!!! Ne tinquiète pas!!! On travaille toujours pour apprendre des langues.

[sapphireaster1]

woah. i'm playing that nocturne right now.

sweeeet. i love it.

[etienne214]

oh awesome!!! it is my favorite nocturne of chopin's. he's amazing. thanks so much for the awesome comment!

[simmont11]

this is AMAZING.

[etienne214]

thanks very very much!!!

[wbarreguy]

Wow. The Chopin intro was outrageously good. I am inspired to listen to him more. I recognize this song too (Be Be Your Love)! Superlative job, T. :-)

[etienne214]

thanks again brian!! you rock. and yes chopin is brilliant. like i said, he and tori turned me right back on to being a faux rockstar. oh delusions.

[musikjunky89]

amazing voice and piano-ism (lol.. i made a word up!) you're almost like two people between in your videos: a humble shy guy at the start of your videos and the magician at his keyboard once you start playing. thank you for sharing.

[etienne214]

lol! thanks very much for listening. i've never been told that before but i will take it as a major compliment!
