Her Diamonds - by Rob Thomas & covered by The Matchbox Tribute Show (Australia)

[davidnot17]

Very nice voice

[bluewolfsky]

ummm its nice



[ronniesaras]

@bluewolfsky ummmm considering i'm not a mind reader ummm and don't know what song ummm you thought it was ummm... i can't comment sorry ummm :P

[catpound09]

You do sound like Rob but try too hard. You should just sing how you sing and you'd probably sound awesome. Why don't you guys just write your own original stuff? Instead of trying to replicate MB20. Just an opinion from musician to musician.

[brandonkrontz1]

good job guys!!

[brandondallas]

Smooth it out a bit you sexy man. You've got it. Keep it up. "...love your accent." Peace from Dallas, TX.

[Vamzilla]

that guy singing sounds almost like rob. good job the both of u.

[paulcliftonevans]

Excellent rendition! 5*****!

[18brokengirl]

Wow, its very good, actually its great! The only thing I think is that you're holding back, like you're straining to be quiet. Let it go :) You guys could go far with music :) not to mention you're very attractive :p

[fordyaus]

This cover is pretty cool, but whats up with the chords you showed I've been playing it for like two hours now and its defiantly C minor not C# minor. Seriously if you try playing it sharp it sounds terrible.

[SCVideoProductions]

Hey man,

How about you write your own songs and stop singing others.. By the way I am not saying that in a sense that I am giving you crap, I am saying that in a sense that you and the guitarist have talent man, write you own and theres a good possibility that you can go somewhere, you both are really good mates

GOOD LUCK!!!!

[chigur09]

Hey what is up with that cap

[riordan32]

yeah take the hat away and its a top notch video

[Momo0Uchiha0Hyuga]

austrailians rox

[solarisdruid]

very good job, guys! awesome!

[VickyRenee1967]

Yes.....His voice is what MAKES this!!!! I ACTUALLY prefer HIS version....I hear the actual Rob Thomas one at work ALL the time, and I got used to Ronnie's and I LOVE his version...ummmmm....hehe...whi­ch is WHY I think he should do his own stuff....I really think he would be HUGE!! (sorry Ronnie, I just HAD to say it!!! couldnt help it) hehe

[ronniesaras]

u are very kind miss vicky! (blush) x

[sumaussiechick]

awsome guys come play in wollongong ill b there just ditch the red hat. haha

[sumaussiechick]

where u guys from? i like yas anyone who sings rob i like..think u should ditch the red hat tho..havnt seen rob wearing a hat.. ever come play in wollongong!!

[sheedazz]

Great job!!

[clean4me]

You know, his voice is his voice, its a cover, not an imitation.

[ZipZapTV]

check out my cover of this song with my 7 year old drummer!

[Doodles901]

Nice. Thank you for annunciating your words instead of just mumbling them like some artists do.

[leesmartin]

Good job guys.Smooth out the voice a bit dude and youll be magic.Nice to see a lefty guitarist too!

[ronniesaras]

thx lees, im happy with voice, it was a 1st up effort warts n all after only hearing the song a couple of times. it was recorded a few hours after its release. I was reading the words on the screen - the guitarist is playing right-handed btw :D

[tefonater]

Unless your camera is awfully messed up, the guitarist is playing left-handed, leesmartin is right.

[ronniesaras]

u guys r gold! lol camera is not messed up. The recording is done in PHOTOBOOTH that records the mirror image. I held the chords up back to front ( i know clever hey? - I should do magic shows lol ) oh.... and the fact that I know what a left handed guitarist looks like might help convince you too? nup - oh well, I can live with the confusion i have caused some poor souls :P rock n roll boys! :D

[21Kyky]

wow not bad !

[WizardHobie14]

you sound more like rob thomas than most people but your trying too hard

[ronniesaras]

its my job to exaggerate the nuances of rob's voice - thx all the same for your opinion :)

[Zewann]

I actually hated it... just compared to the real one.

[ronniesaras]

hated? really? u need to get some anger management if watching a vid on youtube evokes hate. lol thx anyway for taking the time to pass on a bit of yourself :D

[Jemxx]

Okay..I've listened to this version like nonstop since I posted last night lol

[ronniesaras]

hey there, really glad ur enjoying it. thank you for finding us! :D

[Jemxx]

I love it :)

[magicgrl121]

this is a song that would be very hard to cover being how amazing it sounded originally, but u guys pulled it off! 3 thumbs up!!! ^.^

[TheFortiesgirl]

I just discovered this song today - then I found your version. What an awesome job - very, very good!!!!

[tokichop]

haha love it!!!

[buzzbynoonah]

You guys are proof that us Aussies definitely can rock! 'Home grown' musicians don't have enough status here. Hopefully you can help change that. Well done. You sound like the original, but still add something of your own.

[ronniesaras]

wow! they are mighty fine words. Thank you so much! Ronnie :D

[treyg2010]

Wow, thats surpising good.

[Jackassbobby112]

Great Cover Mate!!! Keep it up!!!

[Evilsaw12]

I have to admit you guys did this very well. Props to you two.

[kittyab09]

[ronniesaras]

[Crushradio1]

BIG props from LV...you definately sound like RT, dont worry bout the haters. Keep doin ur thing. Keep rockin man!

[ronniesaras]

[VanCityKyle]

Yeah fucking great job on the song, Rob Thomas is one of the few artists to release a song and make it immediatly addicting and classic...

[VickyRenee1967]

Alman790......you obviously dont know good music when you hear it!!! Yall just listen to what ever yall listen too .....

Ronnie...YOU ROCK!!! I love it!!!!

[Mctits07]

[maddren1]

[ronniesaras]

-Ven

[teddye92]

[VanCityKyle]

It's very rare that an artist can release a song and have it be so addicting and well made, this song is perfect..

[gracieloo12]

[VioVioletViolets]

[Sir2ube]

[fireeaglelord]

[GeorgeMatthewsOnline]

[LtColSam]

Your pretty good :)

[catpound09]

lol trying WAY WAY WAY WAY too hard to sound like rob dude. be yourself and it'll sound way better.

[ronniesaras]

thx 4 the tip catpound :) with due respect - it IS my job to try and sound WAY WAY like Rob Thomas :) i do have my own sound too. thx 4 listening.

[unkipu]

great voice... like it

[baroquefish]

I know the one on the right is paul doucette, but whos the one on the left?

I dont know his name, but since adam left i think thats the drummer, I dont know???!!

[ronniesaras]

i think its Paul Yoleg - the tour manager?

[gaileespaz]

Great cover..

Love the song.

You're both very talented.

[sabinkad]

[claremallon]

Wow - amazing! So good - amazing voice!

[VickyRenee1967]

Hey Man........I have seen the actual video by Rob Thomas.....just last week....and I really love this song......but I have to say.......I prefer your sound....and I think it would be awesome to hear you sing it to more than just a guitar!!!

[ronniesaras]

i am very flattered - thank you so much. My band has learned the song and we are hoping to introduce it into our next show. It IS a gr8 song - RT IS da man! :D

[mcwon]

[VickyRenee1967]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I freakin LOVE IT!!!!

[ronniesaras]

[ronniesaras]

hey julie - how r u? :D Indiana winter, call me crazy, but i only have fond memories :) just saw the vid clip for her diamonds today for 1st time, very cool. just got back from an 19 day south pacific cruise. the other ship was quarantined as they had swine flu on board - scarry shit! be good!

[mustangchick6]

[armas016]

as long as i dont look at you while you sing i can make it through the video

[mysticbutterfly74]

When I typed in Her Diamonds I wasn't expecting you!! I seen Matchbox twenty show AU and I was like ohh that has to be Ronnie!!! :) I absolutely loved it!! However I like all your songs!! I might be a tad bit bias!!! When you coming to the states? hee heeee especially Indiana!! I know how much you love it here!! (well you would if its not winter hee hee!!!) XOXOX Julie

[rachi2197]

woah!!!!

u guys r freakishly good!

[xxHUNT26xx]

Great. Not too bad at all.

[missamystephens]

Beautiful! Cheers!

[ronniesaras]

why thankyou miss amy x

[chocolaterabbitearz]

this is extremely annoying and just plain bad. an australian guy trying to imitate a southern american guy? you look like a fool... instead of obsessing over matchbox 20 and ripping off all their songs, try to go out and make your own music. thanks

[rockgirlnikki]

I'm sure they do.

And uhh... southerners and australians sound the same.

[ronniesaras]

i though australians were about as southern as it gets? lol thx nikki :)

[rockgirlnikki]

Haha true, true.

Keep up the good work cuties! :]

[mysticbutterfly74]

He already does have a cd out and its awesome!! Just like him singing this song!!

[megan4bball]
