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.
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
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.
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.
FANTASTIC JOB!

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.

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!

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
