You are really talented. I got goosebumps :) Please check out my Hallelujah cover on my channel and leave me your opinion. Merry Christmas Xx -MelinaJamiee-

[ku42]

It was funny when you messed up XD cute

[karimky0]

It was a good cover i liked it :)

[karimky0]

Honestly kinda relieved at 1:16 ..... finally hallelujah song :D

[Dandy087]

@karimky0 lol sorry. I wanted to try the actual intro that Jeff Buckley uses. I wish I'd done it a little better...

[galileo93]

Amazing cover!

Liked it very much.

[BinleyClan]

I like this song a lot. It is beautiful and moving. I tried singing it but I gave it too much, you sang this very well. Less (volume) is more I think.

[Judsonnnn]

I enjoyed this! well done! Keep up the good work! 

[NickDuxPlak]

[ITSxoDARIEN]

@welshperson123 As you say "shup up" lol (not makin fun of you just saying lol i found it funny.)

[welshperson123]

@ITSxoDARIEN haha, in person i dont say shut up i say shup, and i acidently put p on the end instead of the t :)

[sunburn60]

Hey I am back; I found your cover. It is a pity that you simplify the guitar. You make some mistakes but I like well. Your voice is beautiful (like your face :) ) and you give me shivers on all my body. kisses from France and sory if i don't speak english very well.

[Lolie182]

your voice's so sweet, love it*

xx

[ohcecilia]

Pretty voice. Very sweet and tempered.

If you chance to cover this song again, I would think about perhaps adding a little more pain and passion into't.

In any case, my compliments!

[Sporpion]

Ca y est chuis amoureux :)

[Steelrigg]

That voice will take you far, I loved this version of Leonard Cohens song... I actually sat a played some lead licks along with you, it worked quite well.. Would like to hear more from you

[Nuroreiel13]

Love your voice!!!

[lukerahman]

I can't believe people think she's tuning her guitar! Part of the song people! But yeah anyways I liked it, you have a great voice.

I doubt any of the slightly harsher people could do this/dare to do this.I'm glad you say the nasty comments don't phase you but it's still a great shame you have to put up with them. For what it's worth you get a well done from me =]

[nacktputzen]

this girl sings beautiful (:

[awdol89]

i like it!! best cover i heard!!! :)

[BenRuhleUK]

This is so!! I luv the way your voice goes perfectly with the guitar! =]

[Harleysayswhat]

i was just wondering what chords you use.

cause all tutorials on here are near to impossible to be sung by a girl, which is really no good for me lol.

x

[3DxNick]

I feel really bad for you.

You have all these videos of awful singing.

God bless.

[ortoPilot]

that comment was to TheOneAndOnlyChelsea btw...

nice cover! and nice voice. i'm a sucker for the 2am vids too :)

[TheOneAndOnlyChelsea]

u spend 1 minute 18secs to tune your guitar do it before the video :S and people will get bored of tht and then change the video to something better but otherall good voice (Y) :)

[ortoPilot]

lol! i'm guessin you haven't heard jeff buckleys version of this tune yet?? it was the intro to the song...

[Chrisiscazzy]

lmao

[RynoScott]

& ROTF 8P

looked like her left hand was fretting,

not turning pegs.

but maybe its just me?

nahhhhhhhhhhh 8D

[AlaskanAssassin87]

Never seen anyone tune a guitar by fretting it... very interesting...

[israelisreadynow]

nice voice! :)

[karenovcrynant]

before you make a vidio .. tune your Guitar first yeah?

[catcha2007]

Never understand why some of the people on youtube get off on leaving bad comments , it,s not a talent competition (thank god)

The last few covers of this Ive seen have al been worth watching despite the comments , glad I watched this one you have a good voice and nobody just picks a guitar up and plays like Buckley overnight .

I suspect most that leave comments like not as good as Buckley are unable to play a musical instrument besides a kazooo lol .

WELL DONE NICE

[Dandy087]

No kidding. I know what you mean. The comments done phase me :] I just love playing this song, but you're right, it's not a talent competition... I like that tons of other people put video responses with their covers :] it's a nice way to find other talented people. Thank you :]

[RynoScott]

the common saying goes, "those that can't do, teach" but, the lesser known part is, "...and those who can't do or teach feel compelled to belittle others to make their pathetic existences somehow relevant, oxymoronic as that may be." 8D Anyone who has the 'stones' to put themselves out there, whether performing live or *gasp* on YouTube, should command respect. Not ridicule! Dandy, you RAWK, Gurrrl! Oodles of Kudos 8) Thanx for sharing!

[Dandy087]

Thank you so much!

I appreciate your support :]

[RynoScott]

No sweat, Gurrrl.

random side note,

I do my best writing after 2am. 8D

[triineEgedal]

you have no power in your voice .

much more power thanks!

[RyanAtwood27]

You sound great! Your voice is pure and your guitarplay is good aswell, keep up yr good work ;P

[1erBEBER7]

Tu as une voix magique ! La guitre viendra plus tard avec de l'entrainement.

Continu :)

[ObscuredClarity]

Oops...I made a bit of an error there...I meant to say "and you can play the guitar well, too." Had to correct myself.

[ObscuredClarity]

I liked it :) You can definitely sing well, and you can play the guitar, too. I'm sure some of the brilliant people who are leaving negative comments are just jealous...It's a shame that they don't post their own versions of this song before they start bashing yours. Keep it up, you sound great! :)

[LooseEndsBrokenRoads]

Btw.. You don't strum this song =P

[Nadal28]

Pero que es esta mierda, 4 estrellas solo porque la xica es mona?? madre mia...

[xsaskiax14]

ARRGG GUITAR IS HORRIBLE..

but you're voice is .. not much better

[Dandy087]

Thanks so much

[cheesechuckles]

HAHAHAH at both comments... it werent that bad though =/

[Joonttuu]

you are good singer but ur guitar playing isnt so good:D

[indiemelon]

the guitar bit at the beginning is weird, I think you did this song Ok :) xxx

[piratkirby]

awesome ^^ your voice is epic ^^ but you might have to practice on the guitar playing =P

[mrchrissyb]

Love ya voice!.. maybe work on your rythem though?

[CosmicBottle]

Maybe you should just sing

[Alexru88]

You're good , but the guitar playing distracted you many times....you are very nice :D

[JiffJaff36]

guitar playing is horrible...

[coyolite]

whao!!!!! tu es la prochaine nouvelle star!!!! lio va tomber ds les vaps!!!!!

[ragefanaddict]

very nice

[vermillion43]

i am not sure if you were going to a dramatic lengthening in some parts or you just have bad timing...

but not bad..

[Dandy087]

probably bad timing ha ha ha thanks anyways :]

[Mustardthedog]

Leonard Cohen's version beats Jeff Buckley's hands down. Hate the way people think Jeff wrote it when he didn't.

[PureLOVEforhashem]

noooo!!! cohen's version sucks!!! i hate it! i cant listen to it. jeff's is the best version, and there's a bob dylan version who's quite good.

[AliveByApril]

I agree with you. Cohens version is sooo bad! destroys the whole song completely.

[LooseEndsBrokenRoads]

FUCKING MORON, Cohen wrote the poem that made the song. Idiot.

[AliveByApril]

Okay, I didn't know. But his version of it sucks neerthless

[Echilc]

origianl is from leonard cohen not from jeff buckley

[Canstey84]

Loved it.. You made it your own.. I subscribed :) I did a cover of of this song too. Just click my username or paste this above if ya wanna check it out: watch?v=hVmczSXHXds

[bob5610003]

J'adore ta voix, on se fait un duo quand tu veux :-)

[chungabeer]

[Dandy087]

*gasp* why thank you :D

[eomaster]

[Dandy087]

you want to sing with me!? ha ha that's cute :P go for it!

[NeelamScissorhands]

Your voice is amazing, one of the best versions i've seen on Youtube. *High Five*

[dingse3]

waves from england!

Listen..you have a really angelic voice, and beautifully natural :)) I recons you should get someone else you know who can play that and sing it with them!..I'd love to hear you sing this not having to concentrate on the strings babe :)

[Dandy087]

i know that's sincere so thank you :] but I want to learn to get better at guitar. and I will if I just keep practicing. otherwise i wouldn't have composed some of my own original things!

[SkRaT84]

ca change de la voix masculine , pas mal ;)

[termenatorfour]

jeff buckley didnt make the song, another guy did i forget his name its somethin cohen or somethin lol

[shutupandshave]

Leonard Cohen

[harryknarry007]

yeah Leonard Cohen did it but he suckes. She's PORNO!

[kolinmenezes]

esquecendo a letra... rsrsrsrs =)

[zeldafangirl04]

you have a beautiful voice!!

[rawrrrxcore]

you have a good voice but try keeping the speed a bit more consistent

[ejgangsta13]

Great guitar playing. You have a lovely voice too.

[shhaannaa]

loliia jalouzzzz !!!!!! sé tou se que tu est !

[loliia]

Jalouse ?? De l'accent ok mais à part ça... Vraiment pas !

Tu sais quand tout n'est pas parfait, il faut savoir être honnête, sinon elle fera toujours un truc passable, alors qu'elle pourrait surement faire mieux !

[Dandy087]

In concert?! hmm... I like the sound of that :P

[loliia]

hi ! Avant de te la raconter autant essaie de taffer un peu mieux la chanson qui est magnifique... quand elle est bien jouée. Sinon ta voix est passable.

[spyral6]

j pense que la music n est pas une histoire de performance... seulement du plaisir ... qd t aura compris ça ! t aura tout compris a la musique ...

[xxdkljgskldjga]

this is lovely, you have a beautiful voice.

[bobie8675]

dude, it's not by jeff buckley, its a leonard cohen song.

[mortykid1989]

Hope you don't mind but I did a fingerpicking cover myself and put it as a response to yours xD check it out if you want :)

[must106]

Très jolie voix

[delilah911]

nice..very niceeee.... check my cover as well even if it's not as good as urs :P

[mortykid1989]

You know more about the music business blah blah blah (of course you know about every detail of my life to make a comment like that eh???) And since when was Youtube a talent competition??? Who says something needs to be perfect to "showcase" it, the last time I looked youtube was a free site where anyone can post any video if they wish (regardless of talent)

If you don't like the video then just hit that little red cross in the corner please and be gone.

[PlasticDefunct]

Hello, the song Hallelujah was written and sung by Leonard Cohen. Please make mention to him in your title as it belongs to him. This song belongs to the wonderful, talented Mr.Cohen and NOT Jeff Buckley, no matter how lovely the cover may be.

[flyne2b]

You got a nice voice ^^, but it isn't the tabs of Hallelujah. Sorry

[pteranodonfilms]

Move more air out your windpipe. Don't be afraid to sind LOUDER!

[skanette]

LOL !!!!!

STOP IT NOW !!!

[Heleen2010]

OH MY GOD you can sing.

[mortykid1989]

HAHA according to his profile page Roundy is "41" years old, he sure shows that with his maturity :)

And yet again it's those who have never uplaoded a video who insult, get some guts, post something yourself, and find out for yourself the balls you need to do something like this.

[Dandy087]

omg thats 6yrs younger than my mom.... icky... what a jerk.

[roundy2112]

morty, you see you dont know my real i.d. and i know more about the music business then you,ve ever forgot. suffice to say if your gonna showcase on the internet then get it right.

[mortykid1989]

The guitar and singing isn't perfect (But hey neither is Jeff Buckley's voice but people seem to have forgotten about that)

I can watch people cover it perfectly but you know what, I get more enjoyment seeing someone who's new to a song try it out on Youtube even if it's not the best.

Dandy, keep at the song, I knew all of it except the middle bit . But I stuck with it the past few days and know I've perfected the song. Keep at it, keep practising, and put these fools to shame.

[mortykid1989]

Wth is with these bs personal insults from people.

Roundy, how you bring "porn" into a critical comment I don't know, maybe your girlfriend (Assuming you have one) isn't giving you enough in the bedroom if it's on your mind so much.

I'm assuming some of these other people have never picked up a guitar before, noone can grab a guitar and play this in an instant, you need practice and hey, has anyone thought that Dandy is getting a feel for the song and learning it????

[Dandy087]

amen. for serious.

[mupploader]

didn't like it.

[Dandy087]

strike 3 im out =\

[mysloken18]

Well,I've kinda heard better,but it was defently not the Worst I've heard XD

[roundy2112]

stick to amature porn, you dont do it for me, how and ever youd probably be crap at porn too.

[eminemluver849]

wow ur a fucking asshole atleast she had the guts to try it ya there may be better but w/e shes still good so u can shove it!!!

[circle43cm]

Dear Dandy087, You come across very well. Young, and not in final form, but very worthy. Thank you.

[coledutch]

i really like it :)

[Sweetheart19991]

GREAT!!

[mortykid1989]

I'm quite enjoying this too I can listen to Dandy's video again while reading the fool's humorous comments :D So now he's calling us virgins :O I feel so insulted :( my girlfriend may have something to say about that.

Anyway the fool, you really should learn some manners, I'm assuming you're about 12? You'll find out that when you grow up (Or maybe IF you grow up) trying to be smart and insulting will get you a nice punch in the face when you meet someone who won't take it so lightly ;)

[cavaseverino]

well, i think you is a virgin nerd ...

and your girl is the most boring human living in earth!!1

[Dandy087]

I think you should shut the fuck up. You have the most terrible English, askew point of view, and ungrateful spirit. so FUCK OFF.

[SpakeNative22]

Wow. Your voice is like sweet ringing crystal. Being perfectly honest here. This was beautiful, thank you.

[mortykid1989]

I find it hard to understand why cavaseverino (Who from now on I will refer to as "The Fool") keeps comign back to your video even though he hates it ...?

And no, without practice it is not easy to sing and play at the same time, flamingmunki9 is right.

It seems the world of Youtube is a bit too farfetched for you 'The Fool'. How about you play with some Lego instead, it's more along your wavelength ;)

[cavaseverino]

two virgins idiots and one ridiculous singer....

weel..that's audience3!!!!!!

[flamingmunki9]

I really do hope your not 32, It would be a bit of a blow to my hope in humanity as a whole. I expect this sort of trolling from children. If your of such an age i expect your trolling to be of a certain class and nature. This is just plain disappointing. Mabye you can work on your routine for next time ;)

[flamingmunki9]

Hey man dont be dissing the lego, i love lego! Although my collection hasn't seen the light of day in quite a few years i still treasure it :P

Yea well a trolls a troll. He probably wont stop till he gets bored. The best cure for a troll is to ignore one but sometimes its also fun to reply to their somewhat lacklustre comments.

[mortykid1989]

continued from below..

keep at it and you'll soon perfect it :)

I'm planning to do my own cover of the song but finger picking like Jeff does, it's one of those songs where you can just let your mind drift from all the bad things in the world :).

And a last point for the fool "cavaseverino", music isn't about talent, how good someone is, or if it sounds right, it's about enjoying yourself, expressing your emotions and giving joy to anyone who listens ;)

[cavaseverino]

"music isn't abou' talent"????

well. i think not.

and "THE JOkER" plays ans sings very bad!

[Dandy087]

you're a joker, stafoo.

[Dandy087]

Oh I dream to be able to finger pick the way he does in his cover... *drool* and thanks for stickin up for me :]

[mortykid1989]

cavaseverino you should be quiet and think before you try to make judgement on here (I see you haven't the balls to post a video yourself, so don't judge those when you have nothing that you've done to compare it to ;) )

And for your info, she's playing the guitar perfectly well, hence why she's getting the correct chords out of it, try to learn something yourself first, manners :)

Anyway I enjoyed watching your video Dandy, you've grasped the main bit of the song, just keep at it

[cavaseverino]

virgin detected....

dude, she's don't give to you..forget.

[cavaseverino]

sheet...

[Dandy087]

ur mom is sheet

[flamingmunki9]

Perhaps an admirer of the sheet behind you?

It looks quite nice i have to admit :P

[Dandy087]

What my sheets?!?!

[cavaseverino]

hey, your version is horrible!!!

your face is like a Joker!!!

learn to play guitar, ok??/ and learn sing too...

this video is a garbage!!!1

[Dandy087]

awe.... you're so sincere. thanks :]

[cavaseverino]

for nothing!!!!

[flamingmunki9]

Learn to comment with class and to criticize constructively. If your going to just straight out bash peoples work then you should at least have something to back it up with. Perhaps a video or two of yourself attemping to sing and play guitar at the same time. Its not easy.

[cavaseverino]

not easy?

hahahahhahahahaha...
