  • I remember watching this when it first aired. I actually watched all 3 of his apollo wins and his performance in the finals. I was instantly a fan. Him singing this is how I was first introduced to the song. Ryan Shaw is awesome!!

  • that was good

  • GOING TO KEEP LISTENING TO THIS UNTIL MY EARS BLEED.

  • my god.

  • This video killed me. That's how it feels when you hear something that truly speaks to your soul.

  • Wow

  • fucken jesus his control is wow!

  • SOMEBODY GIVE THIS GUY A RECORD DEAL I NEED TO EAR HIM IN MY CAR!!!!!

  • @finazman23d1 Check out his song 'It gets better', he's awesoooooome!!

  • WOW WOW and WOW....we need to hear this guy ALL over THE WORLD!!!

  • @pamhlz AMEN! Here is 7 more wow's! WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!! BREATHTAKING!

  • horrible all he did was scream thru most of it. Does not come close to catching the essence of the song. This song should not have all the riffs & screaming it is a very intimate & heart felt song. You want to know how it should be sung check out Sam Harris version of it. That is how it should be done.

  • @BBBYpsi please take your comment sumwere else mr, hes good

  • @HaHaFunnyShi Go by your screen name because you thinking he is good in this song is you living your screen name. I am right & you are wrong end of story I win as usual. Like I said check out Sam Harris version of it & then you will understand the way it should be sung along with true feeling. This version was maybe just alright until 1:35 when he started screeming & doing all the silly riffs. Song is suposed to be sad not soundng angry. Get a clue & tell me what you thinnk of sam harris version

  • Comment removed

  • @BBBYpsi please i dont want to argue

  • @BBBYpsi sam harris!!?you are the weakest link,goodbye.

  • @jay9274 Check out sam harris's version of this song & if you can honestly tell me it is not better then you just confirmed how bad your taste is. Sam Harris is a one of a kind voice.

  • @BBBYpsi ok,you have your own taste.that being said,i listened to sam harris's version and thought it was over emotionalized to a ridiculous level.this dude sangs it in his own style and it sounds good.that crying,weepy mess is for saps.sorry ;-)

  • I remember when i first saw this on apollo. i feel in love! i'm glad he won lol..i love his version of the song, and boyz II men has a good version too on their latest CD

  • Ryan is absolutely amazing!great clip! :)

  • WHEW!

  • Beautiful.

  • Wow!!!

  • 13 tonedeaf people saw this video.

  • OMG!!!! im just cryiiiiin!!!^_^

    God bless ya my bro' !

    da lyrics + ya voice = OMG = speachless = powafull = <3

    love and respect from France

  • this is unbelievable!

  • he did the damn thing

  • This is pure talent, nothing else to say.

  • I love you Ryan. You don't have to make ME! Just keep on doing YOU!

  • OMG I have been lookin for this. And I found it. Thank god for YouTube. I remember when this came on T.V.

  • oh wait they also add 3 pros to the line up that are not announce on their website and no one knows their pros unless u work in the music industry so the winners are normaly those that are added to the line up that are pros !!! Its all a scam IF UR NOT black u should never audition at the

  • wait they also add 3 pros to the line up that are not announce on their website and no one knows their pros unless u work in the music industry so the winners are normaly those that are added to 

  • winner but the kids dont count again people that are 15 and older so its different competition so then out of that sub track 3 what does that give u 5 and out of that 5 their 3 winnners 1.2.3 place !!!!! oh

  • The apollo theather is the most fakest place to audition they make a line up that they announce on their web page lets say this week line up so post to be 8 people with 3 kids out of the kids theirs one

  • if u look at their profits from the time that michael was alive was very low but if u look at their profit now oh wow they are making so much money cause they are

  • In one word... beautiful!

  • Sing it Ryan!!

  • This man is ridiculous. He's just too good. I've heard his songs on the radio for the past three years. Never had a name and face to accompany the great music I heard. Now I do. And you're the man Mr. Shaw.

  • r u kidding me??? the beginning was good but he likes to over do it with runs....his singing is just a little bit too busy......then he decided to take it up and over squeeze the high part. If he just laid off on the squeeze alittle bit this would've been totally awesome. But still I like him as a singer

  • @wovuween147 I freakin luv this dude ever since I saw him on apollo!! LOL. However, this IMO wasn't really his best performance. I never understood why out of all the performances where he absolutely KILLED IT, did he post this one. You should check out his other version where he sung the entire song live. It was amateurishly recorded so you hear the people in the crowd, but it sounds pretty good. I'm just mad he never recorded this himself after his other albums dropped....SMH

  • MY JAM! Nice voice!!!

  • he gets carried away in the middle but still, frickin' amazing for the most part!!!!! :)

  • I didnt like the production on Ryan's CD but the brotha got soul. Love the vocals real smooth.

  • fantastic except for the rifs that messed it up

  • OMG!!! if you think this is Awesome!!! then you should look up"Ryan shaw at the Apollo revisited pt 2." It puts this one to shame!!! Seriously to shame. UNBELIEVABLE !!!!

  • My God that was great. where r now hopefully have a recording record. great job!!!!!!

  • Bravo.

  • anybody knows the title of this song, or did he write it at hisself?

  • @PawlikSi

    the song is called: 'i can't make you love me'

    and he didn't write it himself!

  • Ah thx a lot, I think is was Bonnie Raitt who sings it the first time, but his Version is much better!

  • @PawlikSi Have a listen to Will Downing's version (v=wEHGaTLdh4U)

  • I like him!!! Do dat babe!!!!! Sing!!!!!!!

  • I love this song! my God mom use to play this alllll the time! I love his hair!

  • He's so humble....Beautiful Voice.....Hmmmm...

  • i just met him in this party my aunts employer was having he is soooo nice and my mom got an autographed cd this is ryan shaw its cool

  • I wish he would record this....i like his version better.

  • I LOVE Ryan Shaw's interpretation of this song. He completely owns it. Funny thing is this isn't, in my opinion his best amateur night performance..this is just the one that was posted for some reason. He need to stop playing and record it. LOL

  • wow hes the best

  • one of my fav songz loved it

  • nice song XD

  • GREAT JOB MAN :)

  • awesome

  • Never heard of this cat until now...WOW!!!!

  • I love Ryan Shaw's singing. He is very talented. He also has very positive energy, a celestial spirit and a unique style of grace and humility on him. I hope he does very well in life. He has a heart of Gold~VERY RARE. (I listen to him about 50-100 times a day.) LOVE HIM!

  • love ittttttttttttttt

  • I've been lookin for this dude and this rendition, thank you ktzeo1823

  • amazin - hat's that u call PA S S I O N !!!

  • I love me some Ryan Shaw!!. I agree with some of the comments that the last half may have seemed a bit much...However, since it was Amateur night-you get 1 shot to wow the audience in order 2 return.I don't really know what happened after that epi, but I see why he did what he did..He basically showcased some of the many skills & techniques he was working with..With that said..He still is one of the gr8test male singers of this younger generation..His music is about something! God Bless him!

  • omg i luv how he sing i luv this song

  • HE HAS A TRUE GIFT

  • WOOOOOOOW

  • i still love him. He is even better live.

  • AMAZING!!! Super hard song to sing. Heard BR's and George Micheals versions but this one is my favorite. He crafted the song in a completely different way that was so different. To turn a song thats that tough into another genre takes talent.

  • knock em dead mr. shaw....knock em dead!

  • very, very good. awesome voice...wonderful talent.

  • wow. wow. wow.

    amazing....i'm in love ;)

  • this was excellent in every sense of the word

  • Blesses with that voice LOVE

  • I remember this...he is awesomee...his voice is like velvet....sweet honeyyy

  • Who is this guy? Did he win that night? I have to research to find out more about Mr. Shaw. He is GREAT!

  • I like the beginning better before all the dramatics. Just his natural voice beautiful enough.

  • im defntly a fan of people who really can control thier voices(my favorite singer is Wanya from Boyz ii men). but he dfntly overdid it wit the last half. still has a great voice

  • Sounds better than the orignal. =)

  • I AGREE DIS ARRANGMENT IS TOP!

  • i'm not a big fan of 1:40-2:06, but this arrangment is just freakin gorgeous... this needs to be fully recorded into a single. he has an amazing voice!

    also, i'm watched and rated this video more times than i'd care to admit. love it. :)

  • 1:40-2:06 is the best part of it what is wrong with you

  • I've never heard a brotha sing this song. He did it much justice! I have to admit, he looks like D.L Hugley and Maxwell had a baby. LOL

  • lol...that was an odd couple, but i kind of see what your saying.

  • I think he's on P ... hahahahahah

  • I remember this! After this I kept goggling his name because it stuck in my head. He dominated. I was sooooo happy when I heard he had an album out.
