i'm sorry, i'm not pinoy, so mind translating that?

[dehaan20]

hehehe. di raw pinoy. how come u knew the word and how come u understood the whole sentence? pero sige, for the sake of argument, you're not pinoy, right. in any case, you're good.

[MrAliMcB]

yes, saya orang melayu dari malaysia (i'm a malay guy from malaysia), just know a bit of tagalog like 'salamat' & 'mabuhai'

and thanks for the compliment :)

[uchiha096L]

[08019092]

You were off beat at some point,but I really like your voice.

[MrAliMcB]

thanks, appreciate it :) have a good weekend!

[MrAliMcB]

basically-

G, Em7, Cadd9, Am7, D (verse 1/2)

G, Cadd9, Em7, Cadd9, D (chorus 1/2/3)

ended on Em7

couldn't find chords for the "i know that you'll be back" part thou

capo - to raise the key to. everyone has different vocal ranges, so i use the capo to adjust to my range

[kiernzo89]

The bridge part is Em7 C9 Em7 D

[MrAliMcB]

Hey, much appreciated for the bridge chords!

[sudaesh12]

Hey dude, cool vid. But i'm sorta a newbie at guitar. So what's the strumming pattern for each chord. Is it like up down down up or what? Reply me a.s.a.p. Thanks.

[MrAliMcB]

well, nothing's set in stone, u can actually strum however you please.

as for me, i strummed the 4/5/6 strings until the 1st chorus. 1st chorus i do d/d/d/u (d-down,u-up)

2nd verse & chorus - d/d/d/u/u/d/u/d/u

last chorus was about the same but faster

[mainalis]

very nice cover mister heh=)...

I LIKE IT...VERY SMEXXY...

AND THE TOLIT..MAKES IT EVER SEXXIER

haha..I KIDD=)

[MrAliMcB]

thanks ;)

and yeah yeah, the toilet makes it smexxier :P

[mainalis]

yes...tolits bringing sexy back=)

[xialy2007]

so far i like your version the most! This is the 5th time ive watched it this week! REally i like it, you sound sexy! But i do wonder y u were in the restroom..lol ^_^

[MrAliMcB]

wow.... thanks SO MUCH :)

I'm glad you like it, and you're too kind with words :D

well i wasn't pooping or anything, i was in the restroom coz i don't wanna disturb my neighbours (i was living in campus halls, they'd KILL me :P)

[kickers13]

[MrAliMcB]

[lovesdennis]

[MrAliMcB]

[ericaXXdaang]

You have a nice voice. :]

[MrAliMcB]

Thanks :) Oh, I enjoyed your 'I Think I'm Turning Japanese' video btw! I see someone's a rock chick!

[messwifhim]

u rock man

[MrAliMcB]

thanks man!

u speed cubing under 1 min rocks too hehe

[bridex]

I think this was a great rendition. Sounds good even without the falsetto. Keep it up, Ali! By the way, interesting venue choice haha.

[MrAliMcB]

Hey, thanks man! Haven't heard from u in a while :D well if you read the video description you'll know why i chose the venue, quit nagging!

[meerarajput]

hey im thinking of juss doing that same thing, acoustic version, but idk how the notes go, its not like im posting it on youtube, i just was wondering how the notes go, if u could help thanks

[stevens0music]

sounds like im listening to a 90yr oldman

[MrAliMcB]

wow, i thought it was simon cowell was commenting my video

thanks for viewing anyway!

[stevens0music]

lol!

that's funny!

r u a filipino??

...

ok..

uve got voice, thats undeniable..

just try to do it YOUR way..your sticking to david's way of singing which is beyond perfection..

thats all..

kip it comin

[MrAliMcB]

thanks. i'm malaysian actually

i tried adding my own improvisations

but alas still sound like a Cook wannabe hehe

i'll try to do better, thanks for your feedback

[1texasfanhere]

Next time, put a blanket, sheet or a towel over the back of the toilet - no one will be able to tell the difference and it will not affect the sound. Thanks for posting!!!

[MrAliMcB]

Hey, great idea! Hehe thanks :)

[Rogers607]

lolz sa washroom

[Uchih4C1oud]

I was a bit dissapointed of this, because you transposed the song and you couldn't sing/shout the highest notes and you sing it woth falset and it wasn't so good. You should train that falset style more :p This was OK but no more, your voice shaked and the last minut sounded a bit too hard for you. train more.

[MrAliMcB]

Kiitos!

I admit I couldn't reach the highest note.

I was influenced by the studio version, where instead of shouting David used falsetto

And my falsetto is terrible :P

I'll train more in deed, so thanks for the feedback!

[kittenkaitlynn]

omg u r awsome...KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ;)

[MrAliMcB]

THANKS! :)

[Suwai0303]

man, this is beautiful. great job.

[umfhire39]

ohhhh common ur extra ordinary man

extra ordinary baddddd

ur voince is fucking shiit man

being in c.r while singing is

hahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha

[MrAliMcB]

hey thanks for the comment!

i respect your opinion

but i'm gonna still sing anyway!

[crazyspidy]

lol your voice is nice coz your in the cr!!!wahaahahah

[biratzkala]

your voice is shaking, and has problem with breathing technique

[MrAliMcB]

haha i admit, my voice is shaky & my breathing technique is still terrible. i'll work on that, thanks for the comment

[n888n888n888]

gago

[pulselott]

hey thats a TOPMAN shirt for sure! hahaha. i work in topman... SINGAPORE!

[MrAliMcB]

haha ok u got me, i'm a self-confessed topman freak :)

[artienda12]

GOOD JOb.. hiihih..

i hopE i havE a nice voice likE yoU hiihih...

tC

[MrAliMcB]

thanks :)

i'm sure you have a unique voice, everyone does

you're still young, plenty of time to practice

i didn't sound good when i was your age!

just keep on singing & playing the guitar ok ;)

tc

[DirekWannabe]

can you tell me how the strumming goes? if you don't mind. i'd really appreciate it. awesome cover.

[MrAliMcB]

Um, let's see if I can explain, i know basic guitar jargons!

i strummed the 4/5/6 strings until the 1st chorus. 1st chorus i do d/d/d/u (d-down,u-up)

2nd verse & chorus - d/d/d/u/u/d/u/d/u

last chorus was about the same but faster

not sure if that helped.. if anything, you strum however you want. make it work for you :) happy strumming

[DirekWannabe]

Thanks man! Really appreciate it!

[MrAliMcB]

no problemo!

[juammi02]

dude wats the tabs for this song!? plss i really need it

[MrAliMcB]

Thanks for the sub!

I got it from ultimateguitar(dot)com

it's the 2nd version. I just googled 'always be my baby chords'

if you're looking for tabs and not chords, i dont know to be honest, i just made up my own strumming/plucking. sorry for not being much help & good luck!

[Inonly25]

what's the chords/tabs ??

thanks!

[MrAliMcB]

i just googled 'always be my baby chords'

but i got the best one from ultimateguitar(dot)com, version 2

basically-

G, Em7, Cadd9, Am7, D (verse 1/2)

G, Cadd9, Em7, Cadd9, D (chorus 1/2/3)

ended on Em7

couldn't find chords for the "i know that you'll be back" part thou

[juammi02]

klkl thnx

[dioiii]

Nice choice of recording venue.. i believe it will give you good acoustics on that place and it will create a good reverb on the sound.. hehe nice one!! and also you know your voice range which makes your sound good..

[MrAliMcB]

thank you very very much :)

well apparently my 'nice choice' of venue has been attracting negative comments.

but really, thanks for the compliment!

[kingarah8]

[MrAliMcB]

[MrAliMcB]

i'm speechless!

you have a good one too dude

[gab123123123]

dude, i'm quite into toilets and your toilet is pretty clean what's the brand? thanks. and by the way you sound like anthony green from saosin. ;)

[MrAliMcB]

Daghang Salamat :)

Err toilet brand? I think Armitage Shanks, but not sure, I moved out of halls just recently. But seriously, into toilets? Haha

I looked up Saosin, and not sure about me sounding like Anthony but I'll take it as a compliment :)

[mcmandy086]

hey! you're the first one I see that got the chords right!! and you have a pretty voice too. I think it sounds better in the bathroom, the sounds concentrates better.

[MrAliMcB]

muchas gracias :)

i found some chords that were partly right, so I looked for different versions and used chords I think sounded right. appreciate that you noted that :)

[lukehboy]

wow cant even hear ur accent... good job man.. best cover of cooks version ive seen yet.. try sing it in an open place next time ull get better sound instead of it bouncing off walls

[MrAliMcB]

wow, thanks SO much man!

well when I can I'll sing in an open place, if not bear with my toilet 'studio' ok :P

[cayyke]

[MrAliMcB]

[cayyke]

[MrAliMcB]

daghang salamat :)

[corina147]

ur vioce is good but the guitar osnt all that great but keep it up :D

[MrAliMcB]

thanks, i'm kinda still learning the guitar! just really wanted to sing this song :P

[whatehelll]

hey! nice rendition! love it...haha

to those noobs, the bathroom is the best place to sing...cos it shuts the white noice and maintain the echos. peace out~

[MrAliMcB]

Thank you very much!

You made my day, coz I was prepared to brace for yet another "you're shit/fake, dont sing in the bathroom" comment.

God bless Singapore :)

[diorversacevuitton]

check out huey16 version of always be my baby for you to learn what singing is all about.

[MrAliMcB]

Mabuhai, my fellow South East Asian!

I guess some people just don't bother to read my explanation on why I sang in the bathroom from the millions of people asking the same question below.

And by the way, I've seen huey16's version. He's good, sure, but sings it very similar to Cook's, while I tried to throw in my own improvisation. And I've done my share of singing before, no thank you.

It's easy to pull a Simon Cowell on me, but I don't mind. After all, one can never please everyone :)

[diorversacevuitton]

you ruin such beautiful song not only by singing it so inconsistent but by singing at d bathroom..heelllo????!!!

y bathroom?

[zorkura]

Why the Bathroom Dude? Come on>:-I

[MrAliMcB]

Haha gosh, people always ask that instead of comment on the my singing!

Ok, I'm living in halls, and you really can't make that much noise without flatmates nearby complaining, let alone sing out loud. But I'm moving out tomorrow so I promise no more bathroom vids :P

[janderson505]

boy im being honest.u trying to get laid is preety obvious.girls pls have sex with this looser.he seems sad

[MrAliMcB]

oh the chaviness!

[janderson505]

hes in the loo for better acoustics.too bad it didnt do him good.boy ur shit and so fake

[MrAliMcB]

Why thank you, anonymous Sri Lankan critique!

Must feels good demeaning other people

[03hVc01]

the restroom is the best place to get the sound out of the guitar... my 2 cents

[MrAliMcB]

Hey, glad someone isn't poking fun at me for singing in the restroom for once. Thanks

[iyak143]

COMFORT ROOM BOY =))

[aliparanoidfreak]

LOL thanks anyway :D

[missCHIA]

Very good. :)

[aliparanoidfreak]

Thanks! :D

[bbqlovers12345]
