Precious Things (Covered by Matthew Luke Sandoval)

[GypsyFairy85]

You have talent.

[smcreaken]

I normally avoid videos of Tori covers because of the affectations so many people put on when trying to recreate the magic that Tori is... That having been said, you are amazing! I have watched 4 videos of you covering Tori and each time I am more and more in awe of you. If you should ever get the inkling to cover Never Seen Blue, I might just love you forever LOL

[That1971Girl]

beautiful!

[hirotada]

did he die?

[TotteonaGray]

Technically He didn't sing this song he just coverd it by Tori Amos. So sorry it's not his words so he listens to songs that have meaning!

[gattacca94]

I love his cover of this!

[pete3072]

awesome.

[dianddra999]

very talented!

[Tutkun1001]

You are the harmony in all this hassle named "everyday life". thank you my friend

[JessicaJordison]

Orgasmic.

[Javamso]

RIP Matthew

[vins1979]

@Javamso What d'you mean "RIP Matthew"?!?!?

[DeathToTheseWalls]

I have listened to this soo many times... would kill for a high-quality download!

[Malthy2204]

Goosebumps. You are amazing.

[MrDandie2010]

This is great!

[GerbenGroeneveld]

fantastic!

[loveapup]

all i can say is freaking amazing. great job. you remind me of Raine Maida from our lady peace...

[Bethenothingandsmile]

this was awesome song to begin with but I love how you brought in a new and exciting life to it. I would greatly appreciate knowing how to get this on my mp3 player if you know how to do that. But thanks for the great job you did.

[viraloi]

Awesome....

see, guys like you should be famous and recognized instead of all those stupid people such as Rebecca Black or whatever her name is, singing about senseless bullshit ...

Life is unfair....

[MidnightNeverCome]

This is the perfect adaptation of Tori's style and substance; the fact that it comes from a man makes it all the more courageous (a la Hilde86's defense of this video).

[LittleMissGingerHead]

This sent tingles down my back. I desperately want this on my ipod.

[talullaminx]

Amazing!! Absolutely amazing! Thank you ;)

[DeathToTheseWalls]

I can't watch this video enough. I would kill for a 320kbs download.

[DesolateG]

I think this is one of the BEST covers I have ever heard!

[emmsiesexybaby]

I LOOOOOOVE you..u got me singin like ya! love the vibration in your voice kiddo! xxx besitos from Spain baby! xx

[brunobarrionuevo]

Simply awsome!You're perfect!Congratulations for this version for a so special song!

[TheMooz1949]

AWSUM!

mooz

[EvilLiberalBand]

Great job

[bugsme10]

so where are you with

your singing career?

5+

and in my favs

[AxeMoose]

Hearing this from your perspective is very touching to me. Thanks for doing this.

[KirneH004]

@AxeMoose

Hi, Dave!

The original version of the song struck me because of the use of the piano as a real percussion instrument (which, partly, it is).

But Matt's voice adds an urgency that might not have been there before. Did you catch it like I did?

[AxeMoose]

@KirneH004 So true :) Thanks for sending the link to me.

[tamararice]

My god. Marry me?

[JoseBerry]

WOW it sounds very cool!!!

[KirneH004]

This version of the song really hits home with the teen bullying in the news.  That's probably why I keep coming back to it.

I'm straight, but I'm still sympathetic.

Thanks.

Henrik

[GeertWildersismyhero]

WOW. Powerful interpretation of an amazing song.

[craigiebaby808]

You are really amazing! Can u release these for download please! I'm gonna check but have you covered cloud on my Tongue? X

[spirallogic13]

Made with much love? Most definitely, you can feel the emotion. You have a beautiful voice. Keep it strong! :D

[TheRackety]

Brilliant!!!!!!

[Rosa4Guy]

I love your voice :) well done xx

[squirrelike]

You did an excellent job brother!  You feel it man, way to go bro!

[KateMagix]

Astounding vocals. You are emotive and beautiful.

[emilygibbons]

This is amazing, your voice and piano playing. Beaut! Plus you're gorge helps ;)

[MyLaserLight]

<3 i love youuu! you covered this beautiful tori's song in a perfect and great way!

[ifiweresolucky]

Your voice drew me in, deeply sexy... I would have preferred you play in a slightly lower key, however

[sexysingingcupcake]

Wonderful and moving! This is a very powerful song that you brought to life in your own way. I can't wait to buy tickets to your concert. : )

[ibenper]

great hommage! keep it up, you deserve to be heard.

[edwinthomasr]

this has changed my life....

you are what i want to be....

a male tori coverer....er.....

[kaysee228]

wow, not many guys like Tori,

but you do.

and you did a great job wth my fav song by her.

not to mention youre hot.

so thats awesome!

rock on lol

[LeeFlowers92]

@kaysee228 I love Tori. She's my favorite!!! I'm a guy... (but I'm gay too, so that might explain it.) =) Matthew did do a really good job though.

[DejaNichols]

Wow, that was extreemly hot!!!!!

[MistressRoulette]

You know, I REALLY like your voice. AND your style. There's a lot of feeling here -- just like you said. Definitely keeping an eye on you.

[GrantCullenMagic]

Just wanted to say Ive become a very big fan of your videos, love Regina Spektor, Tori Amos and all of your music choices. Great covers, you truly are gifted.

GCMagic

[christania77]

Very good!  A little fast, but this is the best rendition I've heard a guy do! Very nice!!

[Imxoneofthefallen]

Good cover,

but i'd definitly slow down like a lot.

Playing it this fast loses a lot of the emotion behind the song.

[TheWiesenmarkt]

There's no "look" that you have to have when performing...

When you feel the music, that's when you show emotion. He shows his emotions.

I love hearing people with a talent! And stay encouraged! Because you have an incredible talent!

[OlyColizoli]

VERY GOOD!!!! Keep playing and don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise!

[Osmany75]

There are lots of talented people around. This guy is really good...

[silversky25]

thats heaps coool

love it

;-)

[KirneH004]

This is really cool. Faved, 5-starred and playlisted.

You sound a little like Michael Stipe from REM on this.

Henrik

[matteoc69]

Simply amazing O_O beautiful

[djove18]

You're not Tori Amos but that was amazing!!!! Great piano, and great voice.

It's a little weird to hear a man singing "Precious things" but you totally put it of, I like it a lot. Wow!!!!

[CosmicBoot]

lol, so good I have to comment twice. You know, this cover gave me goose bumps.

[CosmicBoot]

wow, this is a really nice cover.

amazing 5 stars

[PoetieXd]

The Piano + Your Voice =

LOVELY <3

[Hilde86]

Moranny....I don't think you can tell people how to act. Especially not to an artist....he is singing and doesn't even think about how he should act or look...He is just singing from his heart.

And so what if it looks gay? It's just one sad opinion.

Besides that...ther aren't enough guys in the world who show their soft side....

[ThatsLeoYKnow]

@Hilde86 It sounds like you doesn't want him to be homosexual... Awesome cover by the way.

[Hilde86]

@ThatsLeoYKnow

Haha, i didn't say that! I think everyone should be able to be them selfs.:)

[moranyyy]

man, you're an amazing pianist, and you have a great voice...and of course, you're hot.

but!

you seem a little bit gay, in your presence I mean...I think you should be more manly in your singing.

[loveangelnurse]

wow completely breath taking you have so many talents not only singing but piano playing your so lucky. i'm completely in your awe :-)

[YarCeliar]

holyshit.

that was amazing.

[PancakeBandit]

Why did you transpose the song to another key?

[guitargenius1234]

probably a bit different for a man to sing so it's not in his range.

[PancakeBandit]

He's singing it in the same key as Tori (down an octave), but the piano part is in an entirely different key so this sounds bizarre

[TheWiesenmarkt]

@PancakeBandit

It doesnt sound like the piano is in the same key as the real song though...

[PancakeBandit]

that's what I just said :\

[po3abad]

You're amazing.. Hehe.. You're a keeper! You looking? Lol.. Best wishes!

[Zippish]

Beautiful. Just stunning. Made me tear up a little :')

[aeonshiva]

Wonderful! I'm jealous of your voice =] An amazing song and an amazing singer, very well done.

[youchooooooob]

It's already been said - but bravo, don't even consider a career in anything but singing !!!!

[unionville123]

do you just wake up and sing?

let your voice be ringing in my ears in the morning!

[DeathToTheseWalls]

Whaa? No download of this beautiful cover?

[flyingtears]

Gave me the chills! Very good!

[marizambon]

Im love Tori, and I must say that your version is really good! congratulations!! =D

[meandstuff]

I like this a lot, thank you so much! :)

[SoiledBlood]

wow that was intense

ever thought of going professional?

[CaptainVictoryXavier]

very good!

[CresenceMarie]

that was I think the best tori vocal cover I have heard. You do a good job with the urgency, and you understand what you are saying exactly (your phrasing, etc). that was magical, thank you, you did her justice

[jugoypiano]

that was great! and that song is so beautiful!!

[vivianacaleffi]

bravo

[MyLegendarySelf]

You should provide a download. Or at least sell the track somewhere. ;P

[Siren7979]

Are you playing the piano too? Im confused...but great job and you're really freken cute too :p

[GtyFafy]

Im pretty sure all his covers have him playing his own guitar and piano.

Quite the talent =]

[mysticalsoullife]

Very good!!!! Intense and beautiful!

[EmmsMusic]

whoah,.. so awesome.

:D

[rathkids]

ur amazinnn :)

♥♥

[JessicaJordison]

Omg..I Love Your Voice!

[zephyr84]

listening to tori amos as a kid? you must have been precocious!

[heyWorldbeveryAfraid]

you've won me over.

[agenturboot]

Is that the fresh out of bed look with the hair antenna in the back there. :)

[MaruLight]

Wow. Awesome <3

[Laurie248]

Stunning - favorited.

[amansviri]

Precious Things has always been one of my favorite Tori Amos songs and I can recall when I did then same as you, sans jumping on my bed. I love your voice and I love how you captured this song and made it your own, so close to the original yet all the same unique. Your cover of Samson captured my heart, but this song has made me a fan.

[jangeks]

whattah nyc voice!

[ZerosRequiem]

so i usually really hate that guy who plays the piano and films it. and i'm a big tori amos fan, so i was a little apprehensive when i kept seeing this matthewlukesandoval character pop up. but i like your renditions. so... good talk.

[xaberz]

It's awesome hearing this song sung by a guy. And this is a hard song! I tried singing it for karaoke and it sounded awful!

[Boneaparte386]

i love you... lol I'm a chick by the way.. my display name is based on an anime. and I'm going to see Tori Amos on july 28th in Orlando! I'm soOo excited! my first time seeing her live.... I know I'm going to be blown away with her amazing voice. I've been a long time fan myself and this is one of my favoirte songs and you did a great job!!! you made it your own so that is also amazing bravo! encore!

[ThoreAnd]

Oh my god, this is SO great!

You should make the mp3's avaliable for your songs!

I would totally love to have a lot of your cover songs on my iPhone when going to work in the mornings!

[maijin007]

I will always love Tori. Very well executed cover, somewhere between sexy and seething.

[LiamMawford]

I will concur with happyjolush, you must sing Cruel and Raspberry Swirl. I think Tori would be really pleased to hear your interpretations, you sing it not from the throat, but from the heart. GET IN MY PANTS BOY!!!!

[walkingsenna]

i love you. tour's on soon. thanks for sharing music.

[kiddDEVY]

omg!

i almost teared.

i've never heard this song by her and i just listened to it and i think you did a amazing job better than her even.

[zENsniP]

OMG you'r a DOUCHE BAG

[maultreehill]

incredible vocals on this one man. Seriously - awesome job. I don't know the original, but I could listen to you all day. 5*/fav'd.

[Lucidamy74]

the long, intense vocals were really good, but a I'm a bit weirded out by the male, gay version O_O

no offense, I do appreciate your emotion, especially at the ending, nice job

[marianaemiliano73]

OH MY GOD ! Very Very good

[rglovesu2]

Wonderful cover of such a beautiful song....

[happyjolush]

yup...you are amazing....i would love you to sing cruel by tori.

[kailajenkin]

This is really good! I love Tori and this song is one of my favourites.. you've done a wonderful job =)

[mastermind216]

You are Tori with a boy's plumbing... you made the songs your own, but still kept true to her spirit and passion. I am in complete awe.

[burkholderi]

Take on with genious songwriters like Tori Amos and Regina Spektor that have an amazing voice-control ain't very easy! But for you it seems to be the easiest most natural thing ever! Great!

[ebc0118]

Your voice is totally running across my consciousness like a warm tongue...

[bigpinkears]

Very good.  You can be proud of this cover, young man.

[OnThaGrind360]

Yea, if you serenade me like that I'd probably wind up giving it up. Great intensity, great interpretation.

[MyLegendarySelf]

Very, very good. Awesome. So nice.

[ibiterawr]

amazing song

amazing cover

amazing you!

[tony21762]

yepper .. really good !

[TehChiara]

Bravo!

[emmaelizabethbrown]

nice, you have a beautiful strong voice 11/10

[moenbrad08]

best cover I have seen on her so far. Good job!

[livpants]

i know everyone says this, but.. its not even the fact that you play the piano insanely well and sing good, you create so much emotion its actually crazy!

you make me get shivers and get teary just because of how amazing your covers are.

so much emotion behind them, it makes them even more awesome.

and the fact that your good looking too...

your a very lucky man :] not everyone has the whole package x

[jfurou]

5 stars. I would love to see you playing the keyboard on video. Congrats from Brazil.

[crystalcandothat]

Beautiful voice!! I love it!!!

[wintori]

pls sing "sleeps with butterflies" and "china" :) thanks

[aavehevonen]

oh. I'm just speechless, You touched me very deeply, chills on my spine... I can only say thankyou!

[LoveleyVideos]

we want NEW SONGS NEW SONG NEW SONGS ! ! !

This is great! Please sing "Winter" by Tori Amos !

[KingStevoPunk]

matthewlukesandoval wrote "not even close to tori's" but i like it even more than the original! FANTASTIC! 5 stars from meeeeee! - & i agree: HOT!

[giordanomareto]

again: HOT.

[mycol13]

Very cool. Did you know this song is about her break-up with Trent Reznor?

[FuzzyFranzy]

uhhhh i like it too!!!!amazing!really amazing!:)

[BrokenWingman]

I must say, I'm pretty impressed dude. Well done.

[kcgirlgeek]

PandorasDiamonds: Tori is a very GIFTED artist. She's also known for being an incredibly open-minded, generous, caring person. I'm willing to bet she would be quite complimented by ALL of his covers. Furthermore, YOUR interpretation of "let them bleed" is obviously NOT shared by Tori herself, who when performing the song LIVE often says "let them bleed boys, let them bleed girls." It doesn't apparently refer to the menstrual cycle as you seem so SURE. Tori's songs are interpreted MANY ways.

[bristar007]

i m surprised he let some of this crit stay! i think, unlike tear, he is doing a great job here. it is v. difficult for a man to cover a woman's song...esp tori as her sound is so unique. this is a top notch INTERPRETATION. bravo dood. and you nasty betches here suck.

:)

[RuthAurora]

This is precious :)

[77satellites]

unless this guy has a vagina, and he just might, his singing of these lyrics can best be summed up as obscene.

[depolarized]

but so hot right now om.

[williamash]

fantastic! i loved it.

[PandorasDiamonds]

At 1:00, 2:00, and 3:50, he says "I EAT YAMS!!!" I don't remember that being part of the lyrics...

[77satellites]

or kinda sounds like "I EAT HAM EEE HAM!"

[PandorasDiamonds]

When was the last time you experienced the terrible feeling of a crush like this, being the girl left out of the pretty circle, and the proverbial bleeding of our (feminine) precious things? God, you suck so bad. I hate you.

[joeltut]

I don't think Tori would appreciate you trash talking to anyone or saying they don't understand. I am not a girl but this song still holds A LOT for me cause I take it different from you.

[PandorasDiamonds]

My favorite Tori Song. You offend me.

[ivanzavala]

Hey, cool song... and cool spiky hair.. did you just woke up, or is it just your style... :p

[andrevolique]

oh, how much I love it!)))

[jamesgov]

Absolutely awesome.

Your voice is amazing

Proof that guys get Tori too : )

[PandorasDiamonds]

Proof that guys DO NOT get Tori. MLS's voice is indeed beautiful and technically flawless and the piano is wonderful, but the passion is not there. If you think it is, you're missing Tori completely. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[joeltut]

PandoraDiamonds: Tori referred to her fans as not tacky, however, you seem to prove her wrong.

[shon009]

I personally like your version of this song better:) I love your voice, and it's really good. Good job, please keep it up.

[sglover47]

Don't worry about being like Tori. A person who is excellent at covers make a song sound as if it's their own. Otherwise, it would be more like a karaoke performance.

Keep it up...you're doing great!!

[MyLegendarySelf]

If you had a download of this version, I'd be quite happy

[MyLegendarySelf]

Wow is this good! Amazing, really. Incredible job you did. Wow again!

[thdatura]

damn...i almost peed myself when i heard this....i think we are gonna have to get married hahaha

[pokemonized]

i absolutelly admire your versions, you make them sound.. wonderful, like new ones, much smoother then original, more passion, more feeling. well done! (btw.. was wondering.. could you covet the radiohead song - street spirit? would be nice to hear you feelings put into this.. would make a nice song..)

[leonardokendy]

LMS is SOOOOOO hot!!!

[megustaverlas]

I like it ;)

[WoWhoneybelle]

I was actually all ready to slate this....until I heard it. Awesome job dude. I was pleasantly surprised :) 5 stars

[zakipoe79]

Zomg! This is beautiful and wonderful and I love it. Mad props to you. You've captured the rage and passion of the song in your own way..

I have to admit, I never thought I'd hear a man sing this song.

*cheers*

[spacedubnz]

Great job!  LOVE IT!! xoxo

That is my favorite Tori Amos song. You did a great job.
