This is completely fucking epic...it's amazing what happens when you apply real talent to crappy generic pop. This is incredible :)

@JoshJNYC If you want to see what he can do with a fantastic song, take a listen to his covers of Tracy Chapman's "The Promise" or Regina Spektor's "Samson". Or better yet, check out some of the amazing songs Theo has penned himself. I would suggest These Clean Walls, Doesn't Make It Easier, Blacklight, Just a Little Longer, or Better Than the Last Time.

he sounds awesome. why is he so under the radar? He really needs to be recognized, sooo freakin good!

[Tigger4Theo]

@c6h12o6glucose I really wish I had a good answer to that question as I've asked it myself many, many times. But Theo has determination as well as talent, so we'll be hearing a lot more from him over the years. Let's hope more of Canada wakes up and gives him a listen.

i love you theo!! id love to hear you do a damien rice cover.

[Tigger4Theo]

@jewsie I'm not sure if you've seen it yet, but if you do a search on YouTube, you will find clips of Theo covering "Cannonball" (including one I posted of him performing it in Burlington, Ontario just over a week ago). I think you'll love it! ;)

This version is far superior to the original. I am currently learning to play the guitar and intend to play this.

I don't like the Britney Spears comments here. Theo covers it really well, but Britney's version is good as well. You guys need to know there was a time when Britney can sing, during the earlier part of her career. Britney's version requires really high thin, light vocals that not everyone can do either, while Theo's is a "male version - heavier, deeper, thicker vocals."

@JoshJNYC - I beg to differ. The song has its own value. Pop isn't generic. It's a genre that deserves its share of respect. That is all.

@JoshJNYC well britneys music isnt generic at all, she has amazing distinct talent!!! but this guy really rocked this song too <3 amazing
