  • you load 16 tones of crooked notes and the result is johnny cashs voice xD

  • Funny because he has a song called " I Walk The Line"

  • Ich wusste garnicht dass er mal einen Schnurrbart hatte. :-)

  • @dgarnes1 You good-for-nothing bigot who's going to remember you when you die ?

  • Yes, agree, the audience clapping at the beginning is off, but the pace he's singing at is odd for this song as well. Not the most inspiring performance.

  • Too fast version - there are better ones !

  • great cover

  • @Jinnigan They're way off. I hate when that happens. It's depressing to think you can get crowds in this country where the whole damn thing can fall so far off the beat. Perfect example of why we need music in the schools

  • I miss JC's "soul" in his voice while singing this song - sounds a little bit bored - pity !
