  • LOVED IT!!!!!!!

    

  • ottimo video Paul mi hai fatto emozionare I'm Italy

  • 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.

  • This song is freaking awesome :D Haven't heard it in way too long.

  • I cant submit my entry, is this contest over?

  • 7 people have no soul!!!!!!! 

  • LOVELY MOMENT FOR EVERYBODY

  • hey this really sounds like that guy from the beatles.

  • @finn1010 ??

  • @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?

  • @finn1010 you cunt it IS the guy from the beatles (paul mccartney by the way)

  • @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.

  • Wow! I’m back again. That’s great!

  • Oh, surprise! My video seems to vanish in the haze (Reprise).

  • After the contest my video (posted in June) is already here at least, but I’m afraid that it’s a little bit late!

  • Too bad i can't post my rendition...

    So if anyone is interested to see it...go to

  • I love the way Paul sings this, it's full of feeling:) not alot of songs are like this.

  • and I am a big fan

    

  • I am 9

    

  • please can you be my friend

  • 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.

  • This information was taken from Paul McCartney’s site.

  • 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.

  • Paul's page with results - @ news.php#/2223/2011-06

  • The winner was announced on Paul's page... why not here?

    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.

  • 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!

  • hey, in the end who won the contest? I know that's not me :-) Is there someting I missed? Please let me know.

  • @TESTAmusic I have no idea. I think most of us are wondering the same.

  • Love it.

  • Some great covers... I would love to see one from Igor Presnyakov :-)

  • Well, I think the Italian "Band on the Roof" is one of the best Macca Tribute band around. They missed the contest! But you can hear them on Youtube

  • @donteveraskmewhy It isn’t a Macca’s Tribute Band Contest, so I think someone misunderstood what it really means.

  • Очень трогательные фото Пола и Хизер. Ребенок полюбил своего нового отца, это видно сразу.

  • 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,

  • Guess Im too late to post...oh well check out my version on my channel

  • Why cant I post a video response?

  • @bicky4 Because the contest has already finished.

  • @OwiOro thanks :)

  • @bicky4 Not at all. Sorry about the answer. :-(

  • what do you get if you win?

  • This contest was a fantastic idea!

  • I very much regret not having arrived in time with my version of "Maybe I'm amazed" ... please view my video! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Flavio.

  • @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.

  • As I could see, my video is the second or third more "liked"... Thank you all for the support ! Love y'all :)

  • Drumroll....

  • and where are the results of the competition?

  • 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".

  • Check this cool cover

    /watch?v=ORWbaQ5etDY

  • I wonder why my cover it is not among the 163 video answers while it is in Paul McCartney’s Channel? There, above, on the right side you can see Maybe I’m Amazed Covers Competition. If you click on and then click for more, you can see my cover between "Maybe I’m Amazed (cover) by GuitarFlutter” and “A Capella Maybe I’m Amazed Cover(for the competition) by aitietlytiettlym4”. ¿¿¿???

  • Maybe I'm Amazed by the dead line.

  • Hi!

    On the competition I learned from the site "Lenta.ru" (here are these lamers - .../news/2011/05/27/amaze­­d/)­... and not checked on the official site ..

    I just have found they screwed up with the translation .... specified deadline direction of competitive work - 23 June. In fact, taking video to the contest ended June 16 ...

    Well, what can you do?! ... if the English - not native language of Lenta.ru chief editor ... :)

    LET IT BE! :)

    youtube... /watch?v=oUoW4jCQuWg

  • When I recorded my acoustic cover I just wanted to show all the people that I like to play the acoustic guitar, that I like to sing and I like Paul's music... I know I'm not a great singer, but I try to do my best so people enjoy it... I want to say congratulations to all of you who uploaded a video to the competition and good luck to you all !

  • sorry willie the dinosaur

  • It is quite a shame that the contest ended. I do wish that I had more time to enter but I can always look forward to more cover competitions. I wish everyone who entered the best of luck!

  • I am not a singer but I support everybody who make the video competiton, good luck everybody, everyone is so good!

    Regards from mexico city.

  • It's too bad this contest closed I was really looking forward to entering this contest. I wish the deadline was a week away rather than yesterday

  • I've noticed people are using other submissions' walls as a means to advertise their own... Kindly knock it off, thanks. :)

  • 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.

  • @Zholobov1 I'm sorry but it's too late... you can upload your video, but you still can vote... Good luck for the next time.

  • 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?

  • 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

    signed Johnny..George..Stu...Armin

  • 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

  • HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!

    Hello,

    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.

  • Why will it not let me post my video? I should have 5 minutes left.

  • Hi Testa, i like very much your warm voice !!

  • Hi Testa, i like very much your warm voice !!

  • Great contest Sir Paul... we all win!

  • 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.

  • Paul McCartney is totally awesome in no matter what he produces or sings!!

  • 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.

  • @juancruzjcg Gracias Juan Cruz. Me halaga mucho tu comentario. Espero que Our Paul piense lo mismo.

  • She makes me cry ... I don't understand but ... I cry.

  • I missed submiting 2 movies by jashoffh (Best Friend and Please Please Me).

    I'm sorry and please remove them.

  • This song is hard to singing.

    But GOOD !

  • 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.

  • Espero les guste mi cover, saludos desde Mexico

  • Is this really a cover?? NFW! 

  • 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 You did a great work.. congrats!

  • @jlulloa Thank you very much for your words.

  • @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 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.

  • @JorgeAlvelais Sorry, but I had no more place to keep on writing, so I couldn’t say thank you for your comment and say to you:

    Good luck mate.

  • 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.

  • The best cover I heard is by Osvaldo Owi Oro, he did a great job playing all the intruments and I love his sound. I really hope he wins.

  • 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

    signed Johnny, George, Stu and Armin..THE SILVER CHICKENS kiss kiss love ya`

  • Got it in in the nick of time!! I'm on the crosswalk with my Hofner... take a listen and good luck to EVERYBODY in this contest!!!!

  • 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

    wwwDOTyoutubeDOTcom/watch?v=T-­fe_9yOmms

  • BEST VERSION EVER IS:

    wwwDOTyoutubeDOTcom/watch?v=T-­fe_9yOmms

  • ENGLISH:

    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 two people who disliked this are cunt faced assliking uncle fuckers

  • 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 love it!!! i really hope uthe FAMILY COVER wins!!! is beautifull ... besides it shows the new generation of beatles's fans!!!

  • 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.

  • U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E!♥

    I love you Paul. You're the greatest!

  • 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!!!

  • JorgeAlvelais and TheWalrusWasDanny are the top 2 for me... But if you want, please check my one too :))

  • 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).

  • yesterday is not a contest video its just a video response

  • Jorge Alvelais, you did a great cover and a great production for a great song. Congratulations, pal!

  • @multimediaprofession ..... Another accounts don Jorge??

  • @jlulloa Just to tell you what my partners told you before: please, focus on your own work and don't accuse anyone for anything you're not sure.

  • 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.

  • @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...

    salu2

  • @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.

  • @jlulloa Will you have the same patience to listen to the new 45 covers added here?

  • I have a video under Sir Paul McCartney's channel!!!! He is my YouTube Friend!!!!! I have already declared myself a winner!!!!!

  • 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.

  • @costechoblanco I agree with you that's the best cover here. I hope he wins.

  • @costechoblanco jajaj... no vendrá de muy cerca la recomendación don Jorge??'

    Parece q' es cosa de ponerse a crear cuentas...

  • The most important thing it can happen to me is that Our Paul listen to my cover. The rest really doesn’t matters.

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO! :)
