  • FANTASTIC JOB!

  • beautiful, I love the song, and wasn't even going to listen when I saw a man, but I am so glad I did. Thanks for doing a classy job of covering this timeless song.

  • Nice job. It took a lot of guts for all the reasons outlined. I fully expected to hate your attempt but as a male, I understand your interpertation. As for lack of emotion I DO NOT AGREE.

  • oooo i like your version! 

  • beautiful but the original version is the best , Janis Ian's version you can fell her pain it's that that makes it the best because of the agony, the heart break , the pure unadulterated pain of youth the longing for love at an age were you still don't understand love plus i think the fact the Janis Ian is a lesbian makes her version better , i mean young people have a hard time with their feelings imagine a young girl who's gay thats some fucked up shit to go though but i could be wrong

  • janis is one of my all time favorites, and this ...was a beutiful interpretation of "At seventeen" !

  • Well done. I would love to see you when you come to my town.

  • I reckon you have a great voice and perform this classic almost as well as the original. Most enjoyable. Good luck mate and I hope we see/hear more of you.

  • I think it's a very brave thing for a man to try to cover this song, and I liked the interpretation. The words work fine when you transcribe them into third person. What they say is absolutely timeless, genderless and universal. I wasn't so keen on the video though, it was a bit fussy and distracting and at times over-literal. It works best if you just listen and don't look at the screen. Thanks for singing one of my all-time favourite songs.

  • Thank you for the honest and constructive criticism. Most people don't have as much class when they leave comments.

  • I give you an A+ for effort. But it's Janis Ian's song and I don't think anyone can duplicate it.

  • Nicely done.

  • Why would you pick a absolute classic that is literally full of emotions and be unable convey it in song? I found your version extremely boring,

    there was no feeling in your delivery.. AT ALL.

    Sorry man but you are in the wrong business!

  • ಠ_ಠ

  • no me gusta nada esta versión,lo siento

  • Because of the way the song is written, it is bery difficult for a man to sing. How ever he does a fantastic job. Good work

  • Great remake! I would like him do her song ,STARS !

  • great video....awesome song

  • EXCELLENT remake; rarely is cover of song ANYwhere near the original. This one is; was great to hear a man signing the song - instead of first person. Very moving; fine job.

  • Listen to words of this song,young girl with no friends in school, there were jocks or nerds.If you were'nt in the right crowd. Kids can be so cruel.

  • Wonderful! Nice emotional performance.
