Boston Cover (Augustana)

[ElizadTheGreat]

wow. you're amazing!!!!! i clicked on this vid and i was like he's probably gonna be like all these other youtube wanna be stars and then you started singing. and the only word that came to my mind was wow. you deserve to be rich and famous like all these other singers you see on tv and hear on the radio. i know this comment won't mean much to you, but i still think you are an amazing singer. (and ps i love your hair! :D )

[MsRaina18]

I think you did a GREAT JOB! Beautiful! Voice! Keep up the good work ;)

[KevinTheNoobie]

OK, so this isn't the world's best cover. That doesn't give any of you sitting in the comfort of your computer to criticize his effort.

[howlinlevi2]

I agree with the guy up top...its a sad song, you have to sell the sad.

[curtmorehouse]

This isn't a show tune.  Stick to Broadway or move to Frisco

[ADDOY]

You don't understand the song.. Do you?

I cannot watch this...

[donnymcrmy]

Bro, sing it right.

[Kaiyki530]

Good job!!!! :) Pratice makes perfect

[cadetsumthin]

I like it alot...there just doesn't seem like alot of emotion..like everyone has already said...you almost seem tense...but really good :)

[KateAndOrKatie]

The chorus & the end were slightly painful...but the rest sounded really good! You have a nice voice & ignore everyone else, cuz I totally saw emotion (@ some points, you even looked close to tears) -Katie

[Shef0808]

dude...are you Jesse Mccartney brother? Lol

great voice...but no emotion :(

not the "emo thing like the dude say but just feel the music

[Nulfbreak]

I'm sorry :( Don't like it.

[Xxdarkstarsk8xX]

this is awesome good job on the cover

[phath831]

Great cover.

[danshaydanshay]

your creepy

[danshaydanshay]

your creepy

[danshaydanshay]

your creepy as shit

[adam503398]

worst cover ever

[mjaylabel]

oh my god, i swear, there were tears in my face

u r fuckin fantastic

[gracielearns]

haha new jersey. she wants to get out of California. you did good but you obviously arent really a big fan of this song.

[Xxdarkstarsk8xX]

@gracielearns he said that because he lives in new jersey probably, like at a lot of concerts the artist will say the name of the town instead of the name that's actually in the song 

[amelia800124]

hey, im amelia. i just wanted to tell you that you have a really good voice, and you deffinetely have potential, however, i don't think this song is the best choice for you. i think it was too delicate for you. i think you should try something more like rock and roll, or an edgey pop song, ya know? but great job anyways :)

[tessathefiesta]

why does this video look like it's from the 90s?! haha.

anyway, sorry, i am just going to be straight up with you and say THIS IS REALLY, REALLY BAD. like lmfao it is cracking me up how bad it is. your voice really lacks any sort of passion and it doesn't have the right style for this song at all... your voice is too soft and feminine, it needs to be more gritty and deep.

but in conclusion... LMFAO

[alonelychild]

Your voice is marvelous!

[mrdejavugemini]

You have a really great voice but you need to put feeling into the way you sing. Its very Karaoke the way you did this one. You have a nice singing voice, thats a given, but the way you sing is no different from when my dad reads the paper out loud every now and then over breakfast. keep it up, youll get there :)

[MuzicMan118]

are you a baritone? or are you a tenor?

[windhigh80]

You say "Don't" really funny. :]

[truthclimb]

I'm sorry but this is so cheesy...

[AngieSingxD]

sounds good =) u just need to calm down and feel the song and don't try to hard. other then that i like it.

[jammieisawesome]

sorry, but I'm not a fan of your voice

you didn't really put any passion into the song

I couldn't believe the lyrics when you sang them

[manuucbk]

medio puto el pibe

[footballfan43]

i like your voice i think your good

[xkilagramx]

It okey voice.. kinda you need to pick up a insturment to make up for the voice , because then youll have a excuse for singing poorly

[truesoulful]

a little too pronounced..but great voice!!(:

[hellomrpoor]

Well this is a cover so some artistic deviation is allowed right? :) I really like this version :)

[jessySwag]

you really look like jesse mccartney! lol

[UniqueGirlXliving]

thats what i thought too!

[manoune2702]

Ahah i thought the same !

[nuryta23]

you sing very,very well!!!!!!!

for a man

is not the same voice that the singer of this song but you are a really good singer!

[spikesbelt]

u sound like that leader of those vampires in 'new moon':D the new twilight movie

u actually have the same nose etc. 2

well sung:)

[sic7one]

man, im not gonna lie. i've never listened to the lyrics as intently as i did when you sang the first verse....

[rpaju]

do a cat stevens song man you would own it!! like alot of people would like to se it i think!!

[Sievert04]

nice shirt kurt cobain, and what lyrics are you reading form? lol

[RockSprinkle]

how could this person looks cute? jeez!

nice voice tho

[Jahan417]

Dude, your voice is absolutelt IDENTICAL to Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens

[CutiesAreForHumans]

I think you're really good and your voice is beautiful. but... dude, you're trying too hard. seriously, just try to feel the music and concentrate less on being perfect. I know everyone else is saying the exact same thing and you're probably sick of hearing it by now, but... it needed to be said! lol! okay... I'm gonna stop taking up space on your wall now. :)

good luck! I really do think you're a good singer.

[lailalokman]

*new

[lailalokman]

i'll get out of ner jearsey XD

its california

[dramamattkrantz]

dude you're good but I think you're the kind of guy who wants to do this for the rest of your life, You've been given a natural gift but that is NOTHING if you cant connect to the music and translate that to your audience there's a thousand guys that can sing it every bit as good as you, music is an outlook to the soul and what I'm getting is robotronic, keep it up and dont be afraid to feel

[samie303]

lol yur cute..an yu hav a really nice voice love ;]

[Tweekmcr]

lol u sing good but your eyes make me laugh lol ur cute XD

[sh16nick]

you have a cute face :D

and a beautiful voice <3

simply amazing

[abbykelly13]

wow impresive! I love guys that can sing! It's a good quality to have!

[zito75fan75]

just sayin

[zito75fan75]

great voice but no emotion in it u have to feel the emo pain wen u sing

[maxmcguire]

I'll pass on feeling the "emo pain."

[TiegroShion]

@maxmcguire than theres no use singing it without the proper emotion . .

[eviole]

@maxmcguire hahahaha...ohhh dear, I can't stop laughing at this :D

[madenoughdude]

@zito75fan75 yeah man, feel the emo pain, FEEL IT!

[SuckYerrrStraw]

@zito75fan75 LOLOL

[cameraflashkelsiii]

@zito75fan75

I agree with the first part;

Feel what the lyrics are saying; don't just sing them, it'll make it a lot more believable.

[beccajoncas]

@zito75fan75 well i personaly think it was awesome

[ramdeena]

song is good

[Bodom1990]

j'adore ta voix,continue man .

béte de musique t'entend?

[maxmcguire]

Je ne parle pas français :-(

[PineFlavoredApples]

@maxmcguire

i think he said he adores your voice and i dont understand the last part beast hears music? i think :P idk i only take french in highschool and suck at it

[rent27]

better off in the theatre, this song doesn't match your voice, but u did great on the chorus, and show some emotion that u connect with the song ur singing, good voice though x]

[blueeggs4evr]

u would be good doing musicals

[smileysillygoose1]

nice, go to bway.

[FMAamazing]

Yes, good. But, not you're style of singing. I could see you more in broad way and such. Nonetheless, good singing.

[ShellzPiffy]

cool

[chickendicken1234]

You do have a good voice. :) the comment below is very true. the way you did the chours was beautiful

[LaurenPlusPeople]

I think your voice is really good, I just think this kind of song isnt your thing. You could really excell in musical theater, because you have the ability to project that way.

[infavrewetrust]

sweet! New Jersey! :)

[OhAmazingX]

you need to FEEL the song, but some EMOTION into it.

Too much falseness, and vibrato.

Loosen up, and perform from your heart.

:)

[Takingbackcali07]

to much drama voice

[mamresanders]

it's not bad, just don't be so uptight.

You need to loosen up and feel the song and not just sing the words that are written down for you.

[MaiaAnastasiaa]

wow you're great :D

[mcr199mx]

two things.....

1. you need to pronunciate the words less

2. you used too much vibrato on the false voice.....

but other than that, you have an incredible voice

[AfroPhil]

New Jersey? lol

[phath831]

awesum-ness = you n your singing !!!

[maleeisastar]

i really really like your voice...!

(i subscribed :])

[remzsk8er4life]

nice man

[sydneyzoezachary]

You really have a great voice and very pronunciated (is how that you spell it?) I def. think another song would be more suited like a little more classical or R&B, try one of those!

[blackyesterday85]

well i thot it was pretty good

[Haflmoonproductions]

for some reason i could see this on tim and eric show

[JazmineT]

AWESOME JOB

[ZebraDog7]

you have potential, but maybe another song? good job tho!

[MizoiKai]

you look like a really high jesse mccartney

LOL.

[ItzChloe1]

@MizoiKai

LOL

[alexmc09]

great voice man

[Funbean93]

you were a tttteeeeennnyyyy weeennniiee bit flat... but you have a really good voice! i think maybe a different style of music would be better. but i don't know your taste/style... just my oppinion :)

[laurenbenyo123]

You've got a really really good voice....just need to work on your style a little if thats what you're going for. but i agree...broadway would be a good choice for you ;)

[xannax14x]

you'd be perfect for broadway or something.

very nice :)

[chelbellisbest08]

ha i love how wide your eyes are when you introduce the song

[HokminHolley]

I like it but perhaps it should have had more emotion.

[fleaOWNS]

awesome... but when you say "don't" it makes me cringe! actually hit the note! songs aren't meant to be spoken! (sorry to any johnny cash fans)

[ladybughugger2]

WOW UR AMAZING!

holy crap.

it is like a god singing!!

how the hell do u do that?!?!?!

i can sing OK but i wanna sing better.

[DGFounder]

Great job! Nice inflections in your voice, the theater dept at BC must have loved it. I give you alot of credit for putting it out there on the web. BTW...the jerks posting nasty comments...I checked out their "music" and maybe if they spent more time practicing and less time commenting on other people, they may be able to play on a cruise ship one day.

[bsbawden]

If Boston was a song in a Disney Movie... you'd be perfect...

[gcab93atyahoodotcom]

haha. couldn't of said it any better myself.

[Matao11]

very good man you should try singing more songs involving josh groban or james blunt you have the voice for it nice!

[sofievdmeer]

Yeah, you have a great voice. But you should try something of James blunt; Like kattemville already said.

[xchelseanax]

you kinda look like aaron carter....

[baseclosed]

The song was recorded at the home studio of a family friend who is also a Broadway producer. It was deliberate to give the song a theater sound. It was recorded and sent to the theater director at BC as part of a requested demo package for consideration. BC took close to 40K applications this past year accepting only 2K. long story short, he's a freshman at BC. Great job Max

[Ravegirly09]

omg please do a song by josh groban for me!!!! you are amazing and i think you have an amazing voice that would sound great with "you raise me up or something. please do it, i would love you forever <3

[Tettelito]

+o(

[katmville]

you should try singing some james blunt :)

[goeagles041194]

i thought u were good!!! :)

[Nicisonline]

good voice but doesn't suit the song and I assume you live in new jersey as you changed the word Califoriona to New Jersey - actually you changed alot of the words...

[chinoxwongton]

yeah, i actually agree because he does have a pretty good voice, but it seriously doesn't suit the song well.

[pwnno0bz]

hahah omg! funnah!

watch his eyes starting at like 2:30

hahahha

[Greatestfailure10107]

at least he can fucking sing you have 3 videos you just play guitar o it takes a lot more fucking talent to sing so stop talking shit...great job man awesome voice..god damn people like you pwnno0bz fucking piss me off ugh

[pwnno0bz]

you wait

FAGMASTER

ill put up singing videos.

and play guitar at the same time.

thats real talent.

[isaiahcash95]

dang dude, i went from peeing on sasquetch videos to this crap??? well i wouldnt call it crap. its pretty good! but u need to make it more urs and but ur own little umph in the song. u have some but u need more and u will stand out of the crowd. nice job

[seanamon]

The voice is a little too "classical" and "perfect" and the problem is that its too safe and doesnt take risks. I'm not trying to throw stones. I've attempted to do this song on YT so I welcome equal criticism. This version really shows the dangers of having too much technique, but lacking soul.

I really hate to sound negative, but this isn't quite the way I'd prefer to hear it. Respect for your ability though, you have a better voice than I do.

[sportslvr943]

not bad.

[everlongguitarist]

You kinda talk when you are singing.

[pipeline54]

good voice, but definitely not the right song for you. I agree that the chorus was pushed, and you should try lower pitched songs....but good job. Still better than i could do

[shrink1220]

im not gna lie, i liked it....

[2pedro1]

you're pushing the chorus a little too much. Other than that it was really awesome! Much better than I could do.

[Jobu0825]

I think you should sing lower pitched songs but its better than what I can do.

[mango010]

sing well :P good job

[wierengaa]

I like it <3

[xkamaliex]

you have a nice voice, but i dont think this song is the right...type for your voice...good job regardless though =)

[ncbabe000]

yeah i agree with the whole broadway thing, haha i don't think this is your type of song, but you have a nice tone to your voice

[xcizzle]

i would suggest memorizing the lyrics (cause it looks like you are looking down @ the words, and you fibbed a little after the choruses) and once you do that, you can really feel the music like those guys were saying because you dont have to think about remembering the words, and you can just sing

[Johnboards10]

yah dude. what the guy below me said. your a musical theater kid right? we only think that because it seems like your trying to act the song. but if you really just try to feel the song, not worry about your acting, and just SING it would be sooo much better. keep it up though

[PianoFredo]

you have a nice voice

but god, you don't feel the song

try to listen to augustana, you'll hear something special in his voice

maybe its because(I'll say like the guy below) you have a broadway voice, or this is not your type of song

anyway you have good voice

[yesmusic91]

you have a really nice voice,

but I think your voice is too..

lets say "broadway" for this song.

Good job though!

[mississippiwindchime]

dude start singing barry white and i would make love with my woman to ur music

[SyDoGG86]

u hav got a really beautiful voice! i love the chorus! u really are a good singer u should try taking it further than youtube. although the rock part doesnt work for ya! soz!

[walawalawala1]

good, but i think this song sounds better with a more rustic and imperfect voice/less pronunciation. You've got a little english rock-star type accent in there too.

[valmore123]

wanna know how to play the intro using guitar? i know! :)

[talentscout1999]

Great vocals, disregard the negs you have perfect diction which is a rarity in the biz  good luck at BC great school great music program great idea keep uploading your clips.

[dwnasty]

youve got a good voice, but ur trying to damn hard.... it sounds like a joke

[laboucalaise]

c'est trOp biien, dOmmage un peu à la fiin, maiis j'adhère trOp !!!

féliciitatiiOn!!!!

cOntinues

[TMHiser]

sounds like your a bit heavy on your diction, but very good falsetto. overall very good, just lighten it up a bit and it'll be great

[edwinicq]

great, it feels like you have more control over your falsetto, good voice!

[skywayavenue202]

great voice dude! better than the guy that actually sings it. lol

[aznbryanc]

get out of new jersey? haha nice.

[pinknikki14]

you sing relle good.

[reallylinshen]

Check my cover of Dan, if u want.

[valmore123]

nice voice but a bit heavy dude.. :D

[londonlimelight]

oh.my.god. you've got a lovely voice :)

[clashtheclown]

Very cute additions...my 3 year old is obbsessed with this song because her daycare guy plays it on the piano. She thinks your voice is pretty!

[luvme2day000]

you've got talent, which is usully really hard to find. i luv this song, hope it gets you into ur college.

[hswner]

you got nice voice.

the song sounds a lil slow which makes it boring.

at the end of the song you say 'name' too long that it doesn't suit the song.

anyway, i like it coz you sing it your way.

[serunus]

nice cover. you should have a go with songs from musicals. Perhaps Sun and Moon from Miss Saigon? and just turn it into a solo rather than duet..

[maxmcguire]

I prefer "Why God".

I like that song better.

and thanks

[jacksandler]

slur ur words a lil and it'll be perfect

[xXronnick23Xx]

i have those headphones. lol =P

[whitestallion09]

new jersey sucks! hahah just kidding!

[maxmcguire]

It does suck. No need to take it back haha.

Completely agree with you.

[tda2007]

I liked it man, I really did. Nice falsetto too. I am with the other guy though, maybe a little to much diction, but other than that you have a great voice.

[maxmcguire]

thanks. It's a preference i guess.

I just like to make sure the story and songwriter's message gets out clear and isn't mumbled or whined.

[noahtot777]

wee.. ill marry u

[rod7sp]

dude ur amazing, don't listen to the other ppl..its a cover, it doesn't have to be exactly like the original...ur great, nice job.

[bunjiega00]

nice voice....not for this song tho....you over clarify your words too much too..lol

[maxmcguire]

Nothing wrong with letting the words be understood. haha. thanks for the compliment tho.

[davedehaan1989]

you look freaking funny. your voice is really good.. try something by damien rice... youve got the perfect voice for his kind of music:)

[burridad]

its a good version, your voice suits another type of song though, you remind me of someone in a musical, not in a bad way just different but well done its a quality cover, Great Job

check out my version of this and see what you think

you might like my version, check it out see what you think

cheers

[y0utubeonwii]

That was fucking gREat! dont change a thing its not like you were trying to sound just like the original or anytihing.

[florent0693]

i don't feel anything,(almost) everyone could do the same.but you must continue, some parts are prety good

[africansunset]

good attempt....your voice fits another song....but u have potential

[theonlyturner]

Great voice... but, a little too deep. Nice control, don't hold back cuz it seems as if you are holding alot of air.

[diezelboy00]

Amazing. There are lots of control in your voice. Great Job!

[donotlikeclowns]

i think your low voice is realy nice, but the high pieces , uh , you've got to work on that

[markokno]

Nice.

I want the karaoke!!

:) Would you send it to me?
