The Freshmen - Verve Pipe

[jordske]

i definitely prefer the original....whilst i might prefer the original i dont understand all this hate! as a guitarist a totally respect this acoustic cover, just pianos and vocals is a brilliant cover of this song, the singer isnt the best ive seen but he definitely did the song justice.

[cowboykiller47]

You have a nice voice but I feel gay listening to you. 

[sniperboy098]

say its a cover in the title fucking asshole

[rfranklinm]

@sniperboy098 You're sort of the "asshole". Sniperboy. You should try singing yourself.

[LetsGo2TheBeach100]

Love it! Amazing sound quality!

[Suttywutty]

Amazing cover! Where is the piano sheet music from?

[AlexandraMorgan1992]

Loved it (: <3

[MekenzieF]

My english teacher played guitar and sang this to the class today so we could interpret the lyrics. Such a beautiful song.

[IFLTIT]

You have an amazing voice! I love everything about this :)

[mygoodnesskyle]

ukf



[AngryKhan]

your voice doesnt really match the song, its like the backstreet boys singing heart shaped box.

[rfjuice]

Excellent cover!!!! Keep up the good work.

[JonCostello69]

Why don't people know you guys!?!? This is so good and screw all the haters. Keep doing what you're doing!!!

[Ameelahnur18]

breathtaking



[TheMiked1023]

Guistar go fuck yourself don't be mad cause your a fatass that sits at his computer all day talking shit about people when you mad cause your a fat fuck who can't do shit in life

[TheMiked1023]

This one is good and for the people that dont know the original band is its the verve pipe and I think original is better but this is good too good job people

[haleyjensen19]

2:06 the piano make my heart throb

[NPTuttle]

This song always makes me think how out everything that's happened, I not that bad

[sweetycamy]

Oh please...Could there be anything more beautiful than this???. ♥

[NinjaLids]

i think it's good and i don't know these people O_O i've never heard the actual version of this song before. i was just looking for it and i honestly thought this was it.

[NineFiveBravo]

homeboy can sing, I tell you what

[guistar26]

691 comments and pretty much every positive one is clearly from friends or family who then turn violently on the honest commenters. The sibilance in this recording is so awful that I can't listen to it. Also you need to learn how to pronounce your S's properly. If you want to sing with a speech impediment then at least STOP doing cover tune! Write your own stuff and sing it and pretend that's how you meant for it to sound! Worked for Dylan.

[AndrewWCornell]

@guistar26 I would hardly call it an impediment. Sibilance is a very common problem inherent to recording vocal tracks. Perhaps rather than being overly critical and negative you could offer some complements like great intonation or excellent clarity of tone, then maybe offer some recording techniques that could be used to reduce sibilance. I don't know these people so I'm not trying react violently to "honest" comments, I just find it extremely disheartening how negative people can be.

[marsvenus2010]

pretty darn good

[Noemx1]

i prefer jay's version

[xXxXxTyLeexXxXx]

It's funny how people think gay is an insult.

So, just because a guy is a good singer, it makes him automatically gay. Cool.

[lalalandslide]

um....

[tinahansen23]

I like this version much better than the original..

[blackskies10]

@alitaptapmilan Shut up you ignorant twat. Learn some manners.

[alitaptapmilan]

@blackskies10 dude! why are you freakin out? its just he ruins the song! its not for miserable gay doing the cover thing! so shut the fck up faggot!



[ThePope07]

@alitaptapmilan who the fuck you calling a faggot u godamn bitch? u fucking ignorant low life degenerate motherfuckeryou

[Kathphlox]

Wonderful stuff, reminds me of Art Garfunkel (Bridge Over Troubled Water)

[greysonbieber]

KURT Y U SO TALENTED.

[RasmusLastname]

@greysonbieber Kurt? He just played the piano, wtf?

[michelleadvpark]

This is my favorite version of this song :o) bravo!

[theevsta]

buh bow....dont like it! too soft, needs the crackle in the voice like the original. Guess there's somthing in saying that...nothings as good as the original~

[RedneckkJuliet]

@theevsta That's kind of the point of it being a cover. Being different from the original, but still having the same meaning. & your right, most of the time nothing matching the original version of any song. But they did a great job, regardless.

[xalloutoftune]

That's some gorgeous singing & piano playing right there.. yep :1

[cindy55intexas]

Just lovely

[Nikkitta007]

Jake, you have a beautiful voice, and this cover is amazing...just amazing. Such a beautiful song too.

[boobsmcgee1989]

beautiful. Your interpretation had me crying

[stone412]

The verve have nothing on you! You shine on, man! Very moving performance!

[Homiegsteve]

Amazing cover. Screw the other who tell you otherwise.. they are clearly jealous.

[miaclaire23]

why do i keep on replaying the song??? I'm having LSS. <3

[igotitchyballs]

i love this song, but this cover sucks. the guy singing needs to clear the fucking frog outta his throat. i think he's just doing this to mock the song and to impress his lame ass friends. aka he sucks dick

[DRRM89]

@igotitchyballs well i agree that the voice kinda sucks in a way, but still i give him a break so he can sleep in peace haha

[1101marcogr]

@igotitchyballs if brian vender ark likes it shut the fuck up he wrote the song so hes the only one who can judge whether it sucks or not

[igotitchyballs]

@1101marcogr do something faggot

[Homiegsteve]

@igotitchyballs Do something better. Show them how it's done than.

[igotitchyballs]

@Homiegsteve ya know what ur right, i will. im working on it

[TEEJMER]

I listen to this song everyday. Im trying out for American Idol next year. And singing this song. Thank you for the inspiration.

[RedneckkJuliet]

Just fell in love. As it this song wasn't beautiful before. Its even more so now. Thank you.

[joneenee]

64 PEOPLE are "SENIORS"

[menoguebr]

[XxMadAsRabbitxX]

It's so beautiful...

I'm crying... :')

[Kmars121]

What is Valium?

[peacelovemusiclifee]

your voice is just..... <3 I can't describe it. beautiful.

[EJ315278]

you are awesome ! but you should sing a song called "Just Close Your Eyes" it was sung by waterproof blonde! It suite you! =)

[ShaneFoxX]

Jay Brannan's version is amazing of course [I was addicted to it] but this one isn't bad at all, I enjoyed it, and before critisizing some people should start learning how to spell his last name...

[FoolitsBrandoni]

JAY BRENNAN IS BETTER!

[PopeMaggiethe5th]

I just want to let you guys know that this is the best version of this song I've heard and I'm doing a dance duet to this version of the song (:

[mslavick]

This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen/heard.

[zafersawafmusic]

@mslavick It's in demand dude. Chicks dig the smooth voice.

My singing (Dave Grohl-ish, screamish) is out-dated apparently :(

Fucking bieber.

[Mander451]

@mslavick Are you blind and deaf?

[RomanDPVJP]

I love this room, its magical and so many amazing songs were created in it . . .

[megzy42]

this is beautiful. like gorgeously beautiful

[Silkstep]

While your battle of instruments was good, this collaboration is great.

[TheTeufelchen1996]

[1goldHeart]

[griela126]

[NestorJake]

[griela126]

[Pr0d3gi]

@magnussandstrom22 its just you...

[patatasfries]

i kinda like the diversion of the song~....but I still prefer the original though~

[Lostwithin1269]

Don't get me wrong, u have a nice voice, but don't put it to classic grunge songs

[Lostwithin1269]

Ruined

[MyLoooooooooool]

These guys are amazing. His voice makes ma shiver.

[happymarkkj]

WHOOA!! AMAZING. at first i thought it was a womans voice sorry its so high, but its great to listen

[heatbrezo]

Jake your voice is simply beautiful. Have you ever considered covering any gospel songs? I am seriously loving Kurt and your “throw-back phase.” Please, please sing me something Thom Yorke or Brian Molko.

[IngeSlouwerhof]

I think I just fell in love with this cover <3

[chrislss8]

Don't have any trouble fighting with those multiple personalities in this video do ya Jake? :D

[XoXoForeverEternity]

I'm in love with Jake's voice...

[mAwesome334]

Personally I think you guys have the best cover of this song! (Jay Brannan's came close too) But this one is filled with a lot of emotion, and Jake's voice fits perfectly with the song! I wish you could make more covers like these. :)

[geoffpeterstrio]

great music, and I like the lighting too

[hshop4pink1]

I honestly come back to this video at least once a day! Great job, guys!

[fivegirlx3]

[babyitsyou1579]

Fyi : i'm in love with this song. and you sang it beautifully (:

[FairyFloss911]

Did i say everybody love Boyce Avenue better and you must not like these people. They're good and so is Boyce Avenue.

[FairyFloss911]

Think this is amazing.... Then you haven't seen Boyce Avenue's cover. :))

[Imfilia]

@FairyFloss911 That's good too. But it's different: more instruments. Different voice.

What's the point of saying one IS better than the other? People may PREFER one better than the other. Let them. It's a free world. And it doesn't harm anybody.

[ccatherinecsc]

one of my all time favorite covers, anywhere, ever.

[hachigatsuc]

Love it! I really like this colabs!!

[wooklan]

dang guys.. all of you are good... i watch and see alot.. and nothing compares to the passion and love all of you put into your music. . productions my life and the seams are sealed.. the battles are the best with the response from kurt etc... keep it up.. music keeps the world goin round...

[claricerocksohyeah]

i have really lost count on how many times i clicked the replay button

[Hackerette]

This is a fantastic cover, your voice has the somber tone needed to get across the message of this song . This song is the first in a long time to make me cry.

[milafurquim]

I LOVE THIS SONG! AND NOW I LOVE THIS VERSION OF IT TOO (:

Great job.

[thatcher81]

Hypnotic!

[MarelynDeloya]

[BSWAG000]

Wow so good.

[Cakey286]

shoot, you can sing!

[TheLivi1313]

I wish there where more guys who have some real interests... all most boys do the whole day is play COD.

[azteK0408]

@TheLivi1313

well.....I'm playing COD, but i play guitar and play football....i am one of the best students in my class and I am happy.....you can play COD and live life....trust me ^^

[kuurina]

@azteK0408 agreed. and to add to that, what someone is 'interested' in is subjective. unless it begins to affect others negatively, i can see nothing 'real' or 'not so real' justifying what someone enjoys doing. in fact, why is there even a need to bring up spite against someone's random unrelated hobby in a video someone made pertaining to music? i feel that this logically leads back to a question of 'why are you so concerned with what people like to do?'

[azteK0408]

@kuurina

people care too much about other peoples stuff...leave fucking other people aloneeee  :)))

[iPLAYgb]

@TheLivi1313 and what do you do that's so interesting?

[TheLivi1313]

@iPLAYgb

I dont spend the whole day playing video games for sure.. you gotta problem?
