Autotune makes you sound weird ;S

[GEEDORAH702]

[homes85]

[Elfears]

[tokansam19]

I would love to hear All Falls Down - Kanye West

[sardinasalvatore]

what happened to his voice O_O

[KeepIRL]

Absolutely savage...!

[3Blue3Moon3]

Gah Just love the bass and the drum so much!

[CloverCam]

When I saw this on the playlist I really said "Oh my shit. Thank you, God. ".

I don't think a lot of people get why he chose to do this, but in all honesty the lyrics and rythm of the song are fantastic. I always loved the song but downside is that it's still Kanye West. I adore his cover. <3

[21Midnight]

Please do a cover of Heartless!!! please!!!

[THE1DEADPOOL]

i love these versions(anything by Boyce Avenue) of course i love almost all music. & i used to LOVE the kanye version. however since hearing this... id much rather(and i am) listening to this instead. oh & to save time. i hated Disturbia(cos i hate Rhianna) but now i like the song cos of Boyce! you guys rock, keep it up! hoping to see you in T.O.!

[itsRachelxD]

His voice ..... Amazing .

[notKiidrauhl]

haha thats awesome paint buckets. you guys are legit

[AElisePatridge]

Wow this song almost makes me appreciate Kanye West.

[MrsChicka1]

[MissCherry1607]

All the Kanye West (<33) haters

[tboyleston22]

@CullenVampires101..... That would be awesome if they did that. Great pick bro.

[JOMOMMA1111]

[homezipan]

Much better than the original.. edgy...sexy. Kudos.

[jhernandez13]

Hottest

[00zaheerh]

soundcloud. com/muh-syed/song3 Hey, we are huge fans of boyce avenue! If u guys like, please check out this acoustic cover :)

[Mryorkshirepudngravy]

I have no idea why this song was recommended for me as I've never heard of this band before, but I'm sure glad it was. Awesome cover :D

[itsjjooee]

Huge Kanye West fan, also a fan of these guys. But it's just hard to cover this.

[drfreshey]

Holy funky bass, Batman!

[Adipblrm]

I HATE the Kanye West virson! this cover make me love the song! its really amazing!

[Keiess855]

@Adipblrm Kanye West is talented and creative, matter of fact he's the one that came up with this song.

[gladiatorlover94]

Not your BEST cover, but it's fabulous either wway!!

[KingOfFools2007]

@boyceavenue REALLY REALLY REALLY wish u would do a heartless cover!!!!

[wolferine180]

he looks like gerard butler 

[AlexAnnA]

@wolferine180

haha you're kinda right :p

[cayleygirl1]

I love how real these guys are! When ya'll become super famous someday ,stay the way you are! Ya'll are awesome!

[parahdox]

I love how the acoustic style of this gives it a blues feel.. hot. :]

[dekerstmann]

too bad the piano parts are missing!!

[zbomb81]

whats with the new vids? i liked when we actually got to see you guys play. im not a fan of the new video style. but the song is good. nice job.

[MexicanMike1]

I want to hear him do 'Heartless'

[043742473]

@MexicanMike1 You cannot do better than Kris Allen's version...

[friotuber]

you guys are awsome

[ski1lcrush1]

One day amazing people like you guys will sing your songs because im sure you guys will be very very popular in the next 5 years.

[decorkpl]

i just realized how much i hate this song... not because of boyce avenue, i love them. but kanye... you've sung better songs for sure...

[Jquan1223]

People are just disappointed this isn't auto tuned like the thousands of rappers wannabe-singers who can't hit the right notes.

[awesomefosho10]

love button. (:



[TheYuLeeAn]

Why should someone do a cover of a song and let it sound just like just the orginal? No sense?! There is no own ... thing/heart in it :-[ and bevore u vote for "thumb down" think about it... good music but this is superfluous. And no vid :-[ im sry guys "thumb down"

[iluvjilly2112]

@TheYuLeeAn in the vid he said they used two paint buckets for the percusion part... so im quite sure that deserves a thumbs up

[PEPO322]

Perfetti!

[motyyam]

brilliant

[Tyler3153]

That was amazing!!!

[BrandonHarrisTV]

subscribe to me and i will subscribe 2 u

[streetCMD]

myspace/ teezy404

[narayantx]

wow a band that makes magic! most covers suck because they are too much like the original, but y'all have the creativity to make original hits better. i mean paint buckets...Keep on keepin' on.

peace unless you want war

[vader93]

At the start it sounds like shit.

[mIsSac3]

so much better than original version :D

[Essah1989]

Nett anzuhören, auch wenn Kanye´s Version deutlich besser ist mMn.

[kaden56]

not as good as the original but its a good cover

[liventhetruth]

for the first 15 seconds it kind of sounds like Nirvana

[turtlegurl555]

i think that this cover is great, and i will always be a huge fan. they are absolutely amazing and SO talented. for those who are complaining about them not making videos for this, get over it. they have been so busy with all the stuff that they are doing right now, and are really branching out, to not just youtube videos. i understand that this is where it all started for them, but they are becoming more successful and i think that you all should be happy for them for how far they have come.

[Stargrave]

it sounds like he was singing with the mic in his mouth for the first 38 seconds

[angelawellman1]

Is it just me, or does the lead singer remind you of Gerard Butler?

[hana2300]

@angelawellman1 yes he does...lool

[rashawn770]

I think is is actually the one and only song you've all covered that I dislike.

Sorry guys.

[VirgoDar]

@rashawn770 I agree with you. I usually love their covers but I wasn't feeling this one. I know the original is autotuned but dude didn't need that on his voice in the beginning.

The whole point of doing something acoustic is performing the song as raw as possible. Dude could've made that dynamic vocal switch naturally because he's a great singer.

And even when they got into it, something just felt off.

(Still love you guys though so keep the covers comin'. :-)

[dorkablebsac]

Awesome!!!...You should sing: "Journey - Faithfully" and some old school songs...Thanks!! :)

[profetik858]

re: kanye

People make mistakes, get over it.

[zanderzone21]

SORRY GUYS !!!! you sound great but we cant see you perform !!!!! really dissapointed in BOYCE AVENUE and losing interest fast , if you carry on with these you tube shots of album cover your going to have no real fans left ,,,,,,,,,,, honestly guys your great but please dont forget where you came from !!!!!!!! CHEERS

[comidnight90]

u guys rck seriously! =) love your covers

[upliftid]

Alejandro, marry me. lol this is the last time i'm asking.

[maksmiles]

<333333 ;)

[norwayboy93]

RozenklanZ think that was the plan

[LessTalkLessMistake]

2 thumbs up :) good job !

[ladywashington27]

you guys really can't do anything wrong in my eyes. I think its great!!!!

[RozenklanZ]

till about 0:35 yur mouth was reaaaalllyyy near to the mic.. the voice was pretty rough!! but awesome after all (:

[JoshXandXAdam]

It's supposed to sound like that. Just to get the effect Kanye used in the song.

[CarryCherry92]

Amazing, could you sing Street Lights by Kanye? That's great song.

[joeynuggetz]

Needs a little autotune :-)

[evoterror]

cool song and imma let you finish, but when are you gonna come out with your own songs?

[CutoverMe]

i have all ur acoustic Sessions Albums and there is not one i don't like ...... keep it up ^_^

[BBballPlayaGirl]

u guys are awesome :D i love it now that ur signed too!

the percussion is amazing :D <3

[FlimFlam69]

The beginning of this song was pretty rough, bad qality. But the other 95% of the song was awesome.

[evoterror]

@FlimFlam69 you are aware that at the beginning of the song the voice is intentionally distorted right?

[thisisjunna]

guess it was meant to be like that. using the sound effects that kanye used aswell.

[SurreyViolinHero]

That was excellent! keep up the great work.

[TomToTheB]

You shouldnt have used that electronic shit at the beginning, further it was pretty nice ;-)

[Magaly3070]

<33

[pafrefi]

Fantastic! :P

[gyorgyhajnalka007]

is it you who is singing it?

i like that voice!

[IKford1]

its just the quality but the singing is good

[ipokekittieslol]

The intro was crap, but chorus was ok

[texasbob12]

shit cover of a shit song.

Otherwise I like some of this bands covers

[DustinDolby]

the guy below me is a dumb ass

[Teufeleinchen]

Awesome! Love your cover!!

[gabitos18]

I really love this version...Is the best than original (this is just my opinion)

[javito295]

HAHAHA YEAH HE IS

[LuvinLifeXDxxx]

Hahahaa.. Gota Love South Park xP

[lifetecerazer]

hahahaha Do you like fishdicks? :D

[LuvinLifeXDxxx]

@lifetecerazer Yes of course i do!.. Im a Gay Fish! xD ... Hahaa, Nah im not really . . ^_^ teehee

[miqyeznik]

@hartman8883 what a hell.........

[jackchristopherjames]

Q..do you like fish sticks?

A.. yes

Q..then your a gay fish!

[algirdux86]

@hartman8883 he likes fish sticks ;D

[NJA1991]

@hartman8883 so is my mom

[GottfriedWilhelm]

There sould have been a little bit more work into it, but it sounds nice.

[MrLitze]

It's too loud, right? I think that's why the quality sucks a little bit.

[haw45386]

The quality at the beginning sucks because it's done that way on purpose. If you've heard the original version, you'd notice that it's exactly the same way there, too.

[QTJPodcast]

I don't know why everyone is ripping into BA for not making a video for these new songs. They've just come out a Europ[ean Tour today, and have filmed a full professional video for 'Every Breath' just before that. Give them a break. Their probably the best band I know, I love them so much :D

[TheViceboy5]

@QTJPodcast U seriously don't know skillet? O.o It's better than This noob Kayne but seriously Boyceavnue is the best!!

[fillysunray]

@TheViceboy5 Skillet isn't better than Kanye. It's like saying Calling You is better than Local Natives. You can't compare them. They're different types of music.

[TheViceboy5]

@fillysunray Lol...

[laplandian]

wow, that was really good,guys)))) i liked it))

[eitremn]

wow, i really like this. awesome job!

[erichrocks92]

The reason there is no video for this is they have actually had this song out for like a few months but their just trying to give youtube subscribes something new until they get done with their tour... their still doing the videos just they cant do much until their back.

[archangelhunter]

they're = they are

their does not mean they're

[chickanbone]

I like the old videos and audio quality what happened?

[iMh3r34]

I love this band to death. I love their music and their style. I honestly don't believe that they forgot about their fans. But those who have watched their videos for a VERY long time feel that they want to see them actual perform it instead of seeing videos like this. It's like our own mini concert for us. We're not hating, we just want our usual dose of Boyce Avenue.

PS: If you were to check out some of the other videos, there are some comments that say they aren't true musicians.

[joethedom]

its kinda bad...

[pgomba01]

Good god. My comment has nothing to do with jealousy. It has to do with a promise that these boys made to their fans when they signed that label. If anyone remembers, they point blank promised not to forget their fans. To many people seem to do this when fame gets to their heads. I could never be happier for these boys, and I have supported them in person, in concert for gods sake, and have the pictures to prove it. But it is an honest comment, and a lot of people feel this way.

[SamiJoMoe]

SUHWEEEEET

[1992munster]

shit

[djzinctunage]

love it

[NightSilk]

I like this, not sure why so many people are complaining? You can't make a full on video for everything. Ohwell. :) 5/5

[chsbadsly]

i would like it very much to have your guitar tab but u c i had problem with ultimate guitar, so if u could or any one have adirect dl or send it to me that would be nice

[brandocommando6]

Eh, not up to their normal quality....and whats with the black screen crap

[GilbertLamMusic]

@frankiB2558: yep I mostly sing acoustic rnb on Youtube and I just recently did a cover. You should check it out some time! : )

[nugget254]

very nice guys, congratz on the deal!!

[binnyface]

Are you drunk?...what do you mean poor at best? you must be drunk or high

[TaylorxxMusicxx]

i actually loved it!:L

[Ryan94Mc]

this is amazing. no words to describe you anymore (: lost for words!!

[h7baby07]

yo guys what happend? you should stick to ur old style..... =( but your still awsome =)

[gordonwi]

To be honest, when I listened the first time...I didn't like the first part. But after listening again, I kinda got into it and enjoyed it. The rest of the song is absolutely great though...I really enjoy their acoustic versions of rap songs and how they are able to make them their own. I would prefer videos like the old ones where we see you all play though. All in all....give this song a chance and listen to it again and then see what you think!!

[pgomba01]

And I apologize for any repeat posts, but for some reason I can not see anything that I post, no matter what browser I use, so I cant tell if it is really there, or not.. go figure.. UGH.

[pgomba01]

I think that what a lot of people are saying, without being direct, is that a lot of us are feeling like now that you signed on with this label, that you are leaving us that supported you all along to the wayside. It is almost like, if we want to see you, we have to pay. I , like a lot of others right now, are struggling just to make ends meet. I am afraid that this new label is actually going to cause you guys to lose support, not gain it. Please prove me wrong. Show us the old guys we love

[pgomba01]

Honestly, I think that what everyone is saying, without being direct, is that we feel that since you have signed on with this record label, is that you have managed to leave us all hanging. Its kinda like, the people that supported and loved you the whole way are now....not worthy unless we pay to see? I dunno. I love you guys, but, I am doing the best I can, just like many of us out here. I am just afraid that with this new label, you guys are going to lose support. Prove me wrong. Please.

[lazyasnbum]

You know what I find SO funny. People are such jealous haters. Ok, so they signed a label. Why did you support them from the very beginning? Because you liked their music, covers, and how they sounded. Get over it, jealous haters. You should be happy for their success, not bitter. Go do something productive instead of leaving dumb comments like this.

[Zawiera12345]

so great!!! but i cant buy the vol.4 and the new single....is it not aviable in germany??? would be so bad :(

[MikeyTd00d]

i would stay away from this stuff.... you guys usually amaze me.. this was actually disturbing i dont know..

[laury150]

overdoing it man..

[FratelliMagici]

agree with

waqasashraf05...

I want old videos BACK not only images

[rainbowmuppet]

The parts without the mic effects were so awesome! I did not, did NOT like it at all when you were trying to sound like Kanye. It's acoustic...go with it! That what I love about your music, you take songs that are good already and make them better by giving that magic acoustic touch. :D Keep playing your heart out!

[B4mytyme]

im so used to hearing good from these guys....but this wS just not great to me

[4Antwerp]

love your covers !

Could you guys do a cover of the song 'kids' by MGMT? Would sound amazing i think

[SwitchBlade180]

The beginning is terrible!

[yangster982000]

what kanye's "become" hell no boyce avenue you guys are talented but you probably will never strive to be kanye's status, he's already a legend in the music industry, so hate on all yall haters

[andrepaulon]

The videos have already been best when you guys playing the same show. Now it is just pictures of you. Too bad it was much better before ...

[LondonerAtHart21]

u havent made this song urs like u usualli do... im disappointd

[gabitos18]

I Love it

[dogpit17]

great cover, but I liked your covers better with videos

[leahds]

very nice lads. keep the good work :)

ps

come to Australia!

[hectorgrby]

Luvz It!

[epidemic27]

I liked it. :)

[smellyface101]

the intro is horrible, sounded like someone singing to close to a crapy webcam mic.

[sleepingmong]

this song is not the best indeed. ...is good enough to show thumb up.

..............fans from Hong Kong

[SkateRHCP]

I'm gonna go against the majority and say I liked it. I like how he ventured out from his normal singing style for this. Granted its not their best but I think he did a great job at capturing Kanye's feel while making it his own.

[1337deejay]

lol nice ^^

[ariano10]

not the best you made

[gwirion]

Can't believe you guys are playing paint buckets! Ha! This is awesome! LOVE IT!

[MacCoisdealbha]

poor at best

[waqasashraf05]

i loved the song but where is the freaking video with that live touch and you guys sitting together making it look so casual .. we all miss that ... maybe you should do this again and with a video ...

[Briteeesh]

This. They sound great, but I never would've subscribed if the first songs I came across were without a video..

[layeredmusic13]

music is kayy

[llamalex7591]

Hey! I'm from St. Augustine

[ballerinaxelephants]

LOVED the song. so cool to take a rap song and make it your own!!! (like you did with "ice box" etc.) however, i do agree that it would be nice to see you play!

[ch0bitsm3]

i didnt like the first part......but it was AWESOME!!

[ChillUrBananas]

im gonna agree i didnt think this was that great. you've done a lot better

[Tracz23]

The best part was watching you guys play.

[abhijitgupta]

Boyce Avenue, if you're going to make a "slide-show video" please make sure that the MUSIC is amazing... if not, at least record yourselves, so we can watch you!

This one was horrible to listen to. Pitchy all over the place and not being able to watch you guys either was a double blow. Can't believe i'm about to rate a BA video 2 stars.
