Brings back the magic every time I hear it. My mom always said, "If you have one person in your life that REALLY loves you, you are fortunate." I think Paul and Linda had that.
@checout8 how is that confusing? it really sounds like him. i think this guy is a copycat. why cant musicians nowadays come up with their own music? they are always copying the good, old artists. it really pisses me off, you know?
@checout8 im pretty sure you are wrong. maybe you should check up on your facts. he sounds like that john harrison guy. im pretty sure you arent a fan if you cant even get their names right. jeez oh peter, kids these days.
oh and im not just picken random channels only my favorites what 11 year old wouldnt on a rainy day in america ok not alot butttttttttttt ok i would also i figure i would comment awesome channel lol not much of a comment

It’s a pity that I don’t know who uploaded my cover of “Maybe I’m amazed” just a week ago -when I sent to you last 3rd of June- after the contest had been finished, in spite of all the people who are still watching, voting and posting their comments on it.
The Winner of the ‘Maybe I’m Amazed Covers’ Competition is ‘Troubleclef’ who with his beautiful classical guitar version of the song, received a remarkable 1492 likes for his video. Second place was taken by ‘AcousticJamz’ with 1358 ‘Likes’ and in third place ‘Adrianholovaty’ with 815 ‘Likes’.
We would also like to dedicate an honorable mention to ‘magicalmysterygirl’ who received over 16,000 views.
The winner was announced on Paul's page... why not here?

it's frustrating to visit this channel for the contest results... whoever manages the website for paul should be cut loose... may be he/she is already gone... that's why the results are not available... i always had a lot of respect to paul but this situation makes me think twice... so many paul's fans spent so much time to participate in the contest and now they are totally ignored... paul, it's time to take care of it!
Although I like all of your songs, Sir James, Maybe I'm Amazed is one of my favorite songs out of all musicians! I'm really glad you, or somebody, choose this song to play on the television when Lady Linda passed away. I know it holds a lot of meaning to me and to you as well. You rock!
That by far, was the best video, touching, and younger like we were at one time....help him understand, Paul youre rich, , you need to take guitar lessons,
@Flavio1606 It’s a pity Flavio. I heard your cover and it sounds much better than others that are in competition. You have tried to do something beautiful and serious. Here you can find some covers -just to say something about them- that are not allowed for musicians’ ears or people who really loves Macca and music itself.
There are many good covers and I even voted some of them, in spite of I am one of the performers. I found different kind of covers, but I won’t give my opinion because I’m not the one who have to do that. Good luck to everyone who took the time to make a cover of (in my opinion) the best Paul’s solo song. And just say: "I’d like to thank you Paul, on behalf of the others and myself for the opportunity you gave to us to show our work to the rest of the world and I hope we passed the audition".
The voting phase has ended. We can only wait for the winner official announcement.

This contest brought out the worst in alot of peoples...and those of you who attacked other artists...you attacked your potential fan base...you slit the throats of your struggling careers...you told your fans ..you will be attacked if you upload anything that is disliked...you call yourselves McCartney ..Lennon...or Beatle fans??? we doubt that
artists who attacked us for uploading is like artists telling their fans and potential fans..you will attack your fans if your fans upload any video that you dont like...thats rock and roll suicide and violates the message of the Beatles music..We were attacked and we were potential fans of artists that attacked us...artists shouldnt attack other artists or their fan base..Rock and roll suicide.. Do you peoples play live and tell your audience GO TO HELL
we have sent you our cover video "maybe im amazed" today morning, It wassubmited well, but now we cant find it between other videos from participents. We are very puzzeled and upset because now we can't post it again. Could you help us in this situation ,please? Thanks a lot.
I'm so sure this closed too early. I was up all night thinking I had a deadline of 11am cst, which is 4pm gmt --which was 11 minutes ago and I tried to post 20 minutes ago.
A beautiful song and a terrific recording from a great album. An inspiration to everyone who indulges in home-recording and multi-tracking. It's a privilege to take part in the contest.
Excelente el cover de Osvaldo Owi Oro. Logro con un instrumental captar la esencia del tema. Espero que gane porque no escuche mejor que ese. Paul es el mejor y Owi supo mostrarlo en su cover.
Back in the 70's...I was living with a guy in an old apartment above a health food store, He had a nice stereo system. And I sat on the bed and sorted through my guy's record collection and came across the song, "Maybe I'm Amazed." It started to thunder and rain really hard outside when I put the record on the turntable and heard the song for the first time. Vanilla candles burned as I listened to the music and I just knew that it would remain a longtime sensory memory. It still is. Peace.
It's good to see how many people is entering the contest with really good original versions. I hope the audience listen all of the covers here. I'm proud sharing this stage with all of you, guys.
@JorgeAlvelais I’m agree with you. And also I’m very proud of having a musician as Our Paul spending his valuable time with this contest. Whatever happens is a great honour to be here sharing our best. I did my cover quickly, so with a period of time longer than what it took to me I would have done something a little bit better. So what I did is what I have posted.
@OwiOro I understand you. Just like you, I did my version in a very short time and I also played all the instruments and voices. It's hard to work under pressure.
But no matter who's the winner of this contest, please rework you version until you're satisfied and publish it somewhere else; then tell us the link, so we can listen it. This way we will see your concept just like you had it in mind, without any pressure. It would be nice for us and for yourself.
@JorgeAlvelais Yes, you are right. It’s very different to do something thinking of you have to finish as soon as possible. So it’s a good idea to make a “new” cover with nothing to worry about and with not hurry. I didn’t sing on my cover because Paul’s voice is too high and I wanted to play as the original one. It will be the same if you try to sing Oh, Darling! in the same key as Paul with The Beatles did. I heard just a few good covers all around the world through YT, the rest are a sin.
This song makes me feel Strong and rendition. I always hear it, when it becomes to me, "times of trouble" or some another difficulty in my life.
I am one of the million´s people, who have to be grateful to Sir Paul and his music. Probably I will never Know him, but his music is like your best friend words.
My entry is finally in. I knew I recorded at Abbey Road for a reason lol. Nice one Macca for doin this competition! Just goes to show how many people love your music! All The Best!
The Silver Chickens have been told to quit uploading videos so we decided to rebel and upload this IN YOUR FACE response to all the anti Silver Chickens out there.Maybe Im amazed guitar karaoke...DISLIKE THIS ..and KISS OUR ASS

MASSIMO SORRENTINO HAS A BEAUTIFUL GUITAR COVER- NOT A WERID SINGING TRY, NOT STANDARD DULL ACOUSTIC OR NOTE FOR NOTE- BEAUTIFUL< PEACEFUL< SOFT< RELAXING< almost LAMENT for LINDA version
I only will say that everything you can listen and watch in my cover has been made by myself. And I know is not perfect, I didn’t look for perfection, I just wanted to make a cover of this song, my favourite Our Paul’s soloist one. And I did what Macca did more than 40 years ago, with nowadays technology obviously. It was just Paul and his instruments, now it’s me and my owns. Thank you so much for this opportunity Sir James Paul McCartney, i’m very proud to be "here today".
Solamente diré que todo lo que puedan escuchar y ver en mi versión ha sido realizado por mí mismo. Sé que no es perfecto, no busqué la perfección, solo quise hacer una versión de esta canción, mi favorita de Our Paul como solista. E hice lo que Macca hizo hace más de 40 años atrás, con la tecnología actual obviamente. Fue sólo Paul y sus instrumentos , ahora soy yo y los míos. Sir James Paul McCartney muchas gracias por esta oportunidad, estoy muy orgulloso de estar “hoy aquí”.
Your music is timeless ~ I've loved you since 1963 - I was 5 yrs old - & I have loved you ever since. Now I'm 53 & nothing has changed. All of your music has been (& still is) a great part of my life. I use Lazy Dynamite as an ID. LOL Thank you. So many moments of music that you created that evoke the memories of my youth & life. My mom (now departed) & sisters love you too. LOL Thank you for what you have given to us all. God Bless! You rock! ((HUGS)) Joanne Stacey - Ontario - Canada
I HEARD MORE COVERS AND THE BEST ONE IS STILL OSVALDO OWI ORO, AS I WROTE BEFORE HE PLAYS ALL THE INSTRUMENTS AND TRIED NOT TO CHANGE THE SONG SINGING IN OTHER KEY, THE ORIGINAL ONE IS TO HIGH AND DIFFICULT TO SING AS PAUL DOES, GREAT ACOUSTIC GUITAR INSTEAD. THE REST OF INSTRUMENTATION IS AWESOME. I HOPE HE GET MORE VOTES.
Cool to hear all the versions of Maybe I'm amazed people are coming up with. Acc -Capella.. and everything in-between. Good luck folks. Very cool. Wayne
This song brought me back to the 70’s when I watched on TV a Macca Special and he played a lot of songs, but this one came to me in a very and unforgettable way. I still can remember when I tried to take a recording from the speaker of my old TV set with a little cassette recorder. I was really amazed, and I still continue this way every time I listen to this masterwork and many others The Beatles or One of the Four people in the World, in the Universe who can say “I was a Beatle”. Sir PMC.
THE BEST COVER I HEARD HERE, IS THE ONE BY "OSVALDO OWI ORO”. ALL THE INSTRUMENTS ARE PLAYED BY HIMSELF AND INSTEAD THE VOICE -VERY HARD TO SING IN THE SAME TUNE AS PAUL DOES- THERE IS A SWEET ACOUSTIC GUITAR. AWESOME!
WELL ALL THE COVERS ARE GREAT}, BESIDES I THINK THE POINT OF IT IS TO HAVE FUN!!!!! PLEASE LIKE OURS !!!!!THE FAMILY COVER"" FROM BOGOTA COLOMBIA
BUENO TODOS LOS COVERS ESTÁN MUY BONITOS ADEMÁS LA INTENCIÓN CROE QUE ES DIVERTIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!! POR FAVOR UN LIKE PARA EL NUESTRO!!!!! THE FAMILY COVER!!!! DE BOGOTÁ COLOMBIA!!!
There are some nice covers out here. However, I am surprised by the number of entries that rearranged the song (or maybe just don't know how it goes).
@paelgin A good cover is not a copy from the original recording. It's better when the artist prints his/her own personality and recreates the song, but preserving its original spirit. Joe Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends" and Ray Charles "Yesterday" are good examples.
I'am surprised of how many people is tryng to copy Paul's original arrangement, rather than adding their own creativity.
@costechoblanco I agree that trying to actually copy Paul would be futile. I was just hoping that at least the chords would be correct.
Adding personal touches/flavor to a song is important though so I should try to let my engineering side loosen up. Thanks for your thoughts and specific examples (they are excellent evidence of your point).
Hasta ahora, a mi parecer, el mejor Cover del concurso es el de Jorge Alveláis; tiene una voz de fortaleza y bien impostada, Además interpreta toda la instrumentación y toca la guitarra eléctrica en forma magistral. mi voto es para Jorge Alveláis. No copia, interpreta un muy buen Cover.
@malvelaisp Totalmente de acuerdo contigo. "'JORGE ALVELAIS plays Maybe I'm Amazed' es el mejor cover aquí. Los demás tratan de copiar a Paul o destrozan la canción; pero JorgeAlvelais imprime un sello propio, actual; pero sin alterar el espíritu de la canción. Además ¡NO DESAFINA!
@themorus100 ....En todo caso yo vote por ud don jorge,,... espero gane.. ahora, que no desafina? pasa a segundo tema.... deberían permitir el acceso a las cuentas de youtube solo con la ip del equipo, para q al menos se de la molestia de ir a un cibercafé...
@jlulloa No sé a quién quieres engañar diciendo que votaste por Jorge, cuando TÚ ERES COMPETIDOR EN ESTE CONCURSO. Eso no lo crees ni tú.
Si desafinar te parece secundario, es asunto tuyo. Un músico. antes que nada, debe ser afinado. La desafinación es como las faltas de ortografía para los escritores: algo imperdonable.
Te invito, como ya lo hizo uno de mis socios, a que te concentres en tu trabajo y no acuses a nadie de lo que no te conste.
I agree with costechoblanco. 'JORGE ALVELAIS plays Maybe I'm Amazed' is the best here, no matter the video is not at the same level than the music. This is not a video contest but a cover contest, and JorgeAlvelais did it better.
Best sound, best singing (in his own key, just like everyone should do: you're not Paul, guys), best arrangement and best guitar playing. Look at those fingers!
@metrognomomexico "I had the patience to watch all of the videos (88) and I found "JORGE ALVELAIS plays Maybe I'm Amazed" is the best one"..... & I had the patience to watch all your accounts, please, at least be a lil' less obvious!
@jlulloa In our recording studio we are several partners. We all support Jorge in this contest and we use our studio accounts to do it. Do you have any trouble with that? Please, before accusing anyone for anything, focus on your own work.
I preferred not to sing in another key, because I think Paul is able to sing in the same key hid did 40 years ago, so I did it instrumentally. In my opinion is a way to respect Paul’s way of singing and his obvious talent.
I had the patience to watch all of the videos (88) and I found "JORGE ALVELAIS plays Maybe I'm Amazed" is the best one.
It's an authentic videoclip with sparks of humor, made by someone who sings very well (never out of tune), with a beautiful arrangement that sounds different while preserves the spirit of the song. Furthermore, it has the best recording sound here. This guy really made an effort, so I voted him.
LOVED IT!!!!!!!

Hello! Please can anybody help me: I'm trying to add my own version to the contest, clicking the link shown on the screen, but it says "You cannot place your video" every time. Is the contest already over? Am I too late with my cover version?

@Zholobov1 Looks like it, mate. On McCartney's website, it says: The 'Maybe I'm Amazed Covers Competition' has now closed for new entries. You can continue to vote for your favourite entries and your votes will still count until the competition fully closes on the 23rd June 2011 at 4pm.

Back in the 70's...I was living with a guy in an old apartment above a health food store, He had a nice stereo system. And I sat on the bed and sorted through my guy's record collection and came across the song, "Maybe I'm Amazed." It started to thunder and rain really hard outside when I put the record on the turntable and heard the song for the first time. Vanilla candles burned as I listened to the music and I just knew that it would remain a longtime sensory memory. It still is. Peace.

@JorgeAlvelais I’m agree with you. And also I’m very proud of having a musician as Our Paul spending his valuable time with this contest. Whatever happens is a great honour to be here sharing our best. I did my cover quickly, so with a period of time longer than what it took to me I would have done something a little bit better. So what I did is what I have posted.

@OwiOro I understand you. Just like you, I did my version in a very short time and I also played all the instruments and voices. It's hard to work under pressure.
But no matter who's the winner of this contest, please rework you version until you're satisfied and publish it somewhere else; then tell us the link, so we can listen it. This way we will see your concept just like you had it in mind, without any pressure. It would be nice for us and for yourself.
Good luck, man.
JorgeAlvelais 9 months ago 2
@JorgeAlvelais Yes, you are right. It’s very different to do something thinking of you have to finish as soon as possible. So it’s a good idea to make a “new” cover with nothing to worry about and with not hurry. I didn’t sing on my cover because Paul’s voice is too high and I wanted to play as the original one. It will be the same if you try to sing Oh, Darling! in the same key as Paul with The Beatles did. I heard just a few good covers all around the world through YT, the rest are a sin.

I only will say that everything you can listen and watch in my cover has been made by myself. And I know is not perfect, I didn’t look for perfection, I just wanted to make a cover of this song, my favourite Our Paul’s soloist one. And I did what Macca did more than 40 years ago, with nowadays technology obviously. It was just Paul and his instruments, now it’s me and my owns. Thank you so much for this opportunity Sir James Paul McCartney, i’m very proud to be "here today".

ESPAÑOL:
Solamente diré que todo lo que puedan escuchar y ver en mi versión ha sido realizado por mí mismo. Sé que no es perfecto, no busqué la perfección, solo quise hacer una versión de esta canción, mi favorita de Our Paul como solista. E hice lo que Macca hizo hace más de 40 años atrás, con la tecnología actual obviamente. Fue sólo Paul y sus instrumentos , ahora soy yo y los míos. Sir James Paul McCartney muchas gracias por esta oportunidad, estoy muy orgulloso de estar “hoy aquí”.

THE REST OF INSTRUMENTATION IS AWESOME. I HOPE HE GET MORE VOTES.

This song brought me back to the 70’s when I watched on TV a Macca Special and he played a lot of songs, but this one came to me in a very and unforgettable way. I still can remember when I tried to take a recording from the speaker of my old TV set with a little cassette recorder. I was really amazed, and I still continue this way every time I listen to this masterwork and many others The Beatles or One of the Four people in the World, in the Universe who can say “I was a Beatle”.

There are some nice covers out here. However, I am surprised by the number of entries that rearranged the song (or maybe just don't know how it goes).
paelgin 9 months ago
@paelgin A good cover is not a copy from the original recording. It's better when the artist prints his/her own personality and recreates the song, but preserving its original spirit. Joe Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends" and Ray Charles "Yesterday" are good examples.
I'am surprised of how many people is tryng to copy Paul's original arrangement, rather than adding their own creativity.
costechoblanco 9 months ago
@costechoblanco I agree that trying to actually copy Paul would be futile. I was just hoping that at least the chords would be correct.
Adding personal touches/flavor to a song is important though so I should try to let my engineering side loosen up. Thanks for your thoughts and specific examples (they are excellent evidence of your point).

@jlulloa No sé a quién quieres engañar diciendo que votaste por Jorge, cuando TÚ ERES COMPETIDOR EN ESTE CONCURSO. Eso no lo crees ni tú.
Si desafinar te parece secundario, es asunto tuyo. Un músico. antes que nada, debe ser afinado. La desafinación es como las faltas de ortografía para los escritores: algo imperdonable.

I agree with costechoblanco. 'JORGE ALVELAIS plays Maybe I'm Amazed' is the best here, no matter the video is not at the same level than the music. This is not a video contest but a cover contest, and JorgeAlvelais did it better.
Best sound, best singing (in his own key, just like everyone should do: you're not Paul, guys), best arrangement and best guitar playing. Look at those fingers!

I preferred not to sing in another key, because I think Paul is able to sing in the same key hid did 40 years ago, so I did it instrumentally. In my opinion is a way to respect Paul’s way of singing and his obvious talent.

I had the patience to watch all of the videos (88) and I found "JORGE ALVELAIS plays Maybe I'm Amazed" is the best one.
It's an authentic videoclip with sparks of humor, made by someone who sings very well (never out of tune), with a beautiful arrangement that sounds different while preserves the spirit of the song. Furthermore, it has the best recording sound here. This guy really made an effort, so I voted him.
