I am not apologizing. This performance inspires me that people can be empathic, and I cry sometimes when I listen to it. Thank you for sharing your gifts as a singer.
This cover is the only one i've heard so far were it paints a picture, makes me understand the complete storyline of the song through the lyrics. Love it.
No, you don't understand the complete storyline because he left out two sections. Those lines would make clear that he's not just singing to a friend, but that the two are having an affair. And that, Christopher being male, is likely gay: "... Don't you tell her how I give you something That you never even knew you missed Don't you even try and explain How it's so different when we kiss" And "Call your girlfriend, it's time you had the talk Give your reasons, say it's not her fault But you just met somebody new AND NOW IT'S GONNA BE YOU AND ME."
There's nothing wrong with singing a song exactly how it's written. That doesn't make anybody gay... It's Robyn's song and he's just singing it. And I think it's a beautiful cover.
I don't understand why anyone's jumping to conclusions about his sexual orientation based on the lyrics of the song. Even if he had written it he could be singing about a bisexual girl breaking up with her girlfriend to be with him. I'm gay and I've been in love with married men before so this song has that specific meaning for me, but I know it isn't the only one.
no one fucking cares, you sing the song as written, and you fucking homophobes can stfu about it holy shit, the fact that you need to even point this out.... i agree with u 100% but omggg the people who bitch piss me off
So instead of giving someone props for being a good singer, on top of english /possibly/ not even being their first language (not sure on this one, pretty sure he was speaking in a different language in the intro)... you criticize him messing up one line and the fact he didn't change the lyrics to suit what you guys see as fitting? people literally make no sense.
@brobokan What are you taking about? He DID change the lyrics so that the song wouldn't be gay. He omitted two sections which would've made it clear that he is having an affair with the listener, who is presumably a man: "Don't you tell her how I give you something That you never even knew you missed Don't you even try and explain How it's so different when we kiss Call your girlfriend, it's time you had the talk Give your reasons, say it's not her fault But you just met somebody new AND NOW IT'S GONNA BE ME AND YOU"
who cares whether the dude's gay or not? he's got an amazing voice and the fact that he doesn't change the pronouns just means he's not afraid of what people may say and wants to sing it as it was originally sang.
Capo 1 F - C Call your girlfriend It's time you had the talk Give your reasons Say it's not her fault G C G But you just met somebody new Am G C Tell her not to get upset, second-guessing everything you said and done F C G And when she gets upset tell her how you never mean to hurt no one C G Am Then you tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to F love again C G Am And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend C Am And then you let her down easy
To all of you guys putting in your rude ass comments about christopher being gay, i wanna tell you something. Do you think that he really gives a shi* about what any of you have to say about him regardless if he is gay or not? He is on a whole other level from all of you guys. He has an amazing voice and posted this for people to hear his voice, not the damn lyrics of the song. He is singing it directly how it was written. So if you have a problem then dont watch it.
I love it when artist sing and they make faces. That means that they are singing from their heart and they really love what they are doing because they are using all of their focus on their voice and not paying any attention to what they look like because it doesn't mater to them.
I like how he didn't change it to "call your boyfriend". He could be singing this song to a bisexual woman with a girlfriend or a closeted gay man with a beard.
I was correcting the original comment. I apoligze if it came off rude, but i believe there was a miscommunication because i also took yours and thouhht it was rude.
***** It doesn't change the music, but being a singer isn't just about the music. A singer must perform in a way that allows the audience to experience the feeling of the song. His facial expressions here don't match the feeling of the song (in my opinion) and actually distract from the quality of the performance.
***** Silly me thinking you might understand my point. I see my mistake. Let me clarify: this is a VIDEO. We can SEE him singing. In a RECORDING, where we can't see him, he can make whatever faces he wants while he sings. But when he PERFORMS for an AUDIENCE, he needs to be aware of the VISUAL aspect of performing. This is true for all performers. You don't want the visual to distract from the audio. If that doesn't make sense to you, then I hope you're not a performer.
+Faridah Ayinde calm down. Yeah he cute, but it didn't suck. I would like to hear you sing better. Y'all have no consideration for other people. Haters hate who the can't have or can't be. Keep that in mind
I honestly enjoyed his performance. The original I prefer, but his adaption, accent, and style of execution gave it something worth listening to. I hardly see how there is reason attribute his fame to his face.
Speaker is different than author or singer. I personally don't understand why change a speaker's gender unless it's for personal use of the message e.g. the singer wants to use the song to sing about his or her lover, then ok. Other than that, I see no point.
Nothing new. A handsome boy with normal, thin voice who sings a successful song. All the teenager girls like this. But only Robyn REALLY can sing this because it's her song. He should try to find his own style.
This is...so excellent. At first I thought you were speaking another language. Well, maybe you were. But when you started...it's like you opened up another dimension of music. It's freaking amazing. This is the first video I've heard you sing in so far, but I plan on listening to more. Good job! Seriously!
Some people are saying this is gay blah blah but the part implying that the bf and the singer are together (Don't you tell her how I give you something that you never even knew you missed Don't you even try and explain how it's so different when we kiss & etc) is clearly omitted. This is beautiful af. I really love Christopher's voice.
I listen to this once a day. His voice is like an angel.
Welcome Elu shippers, come join the party...it's warm, fuzzy and we are having the best time thinking about our boys! ❤❤❤❤❤
Anyone from Skam France?
I am not apologizing. This performance inspires me that people can be empathic, and I cry sometimes when I listen to it. Thank you for sharing your gifts as a singer.
Still amazing 8 years later. Wow
This cover is the only one i've heard so far were it paints a picture, makes me understand the complete storyline of the song through the lyrics. Love it.

Give your reasons, say it's not her fault
But you just met somebody new
AND NOW IT'S GONNA BE YOU AND ME."
Skam France #ELU here!!
LUCAS'S STORY BRING ME HERE
I can’t believe I became a fan of you 8 yrs ago .. how time flies ! Keep working hard and making beautiful music Chris !
His rendition of this song is so perfect. I could listen to it over and over again.
This is great because you can interpret it either way you like, he can be singing to a bi man or woman. THIS IS WONDERFUL!
Can't he just be a man singing a song wherein a woman addresses a man? Gosh it's so simple. Don't need all those thought acrobatics
love this cover!
heeeeeeey
if you are here from Skam France then you are a true fan
yaass and this is his version in the story right ??
meredith hemmings yes it is !
If ur here coz of Evak, you the OG
disneyrockz12 no bc this is the version of elu, evak’s song is not this one ☺️
ofc i knew skam before skam france
Nahhhhh bro the OG was Isak and Even

It’s only you bringing it up you closet case - piss off
I agree. When I sing this song, I sing the original pronouns/sexes. No shame - it makes me giggle!
I know right?? Like child its just a song🤦
So instead of giving someone props for being a good singer, on top of english /possibly/ not even being their first language (not sure on this one, pretty sure he was speaking in a different language in the intro)... you criticize him messing up one line and the fact he didn't change the lyrics to suit what you guys see as fitting? people literally make no sense.
He is from Denmark
He's Danish, which means he speaks better English than many Americans. English is required as a secondary language in Scandinavia.
@brobokan What are you taking about? He DID change the lyrics so that the song wouldn't be gay. He omitted two sections which would've made it clear that he is having an affair with the listener, who is presumably a man:
"Don't you tell her how I give you something
That you never even knew you missed

How it's so different when we kiss
Call your girlfriend, it's time you had the talk
Give your reasons, say it's not her fault

who cares whether the dude's gay or not? he's got an amazing voice and the fact that he doesn't change the pronouns just means he's not afraid of what people may say and wants to sing it as it was originally sang.
He is NOT gay😁
OMG!! Why do everyone think he is gay!!
+Liva Lux Toft +Samaa Baddah who would care if he is or isn't? Just enjoy the music
+Ana belle yeahhh right but i think he already has a gf
Leo Evan Uhmmm he's not??
my heart went soft at lucas’s story and now i’m obsessed
Capo 1
F - C
Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk
Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault
G C G
But you just met somebody new
Am G C
Tell her not to get upset, second-guessing everything you said and done
F C G
And when she gets upset tell her how you never mean to hurt no one
C G Am
Then you tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to
F
love again
C G Am
And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend
C Am
And then you let her down easy
I could listen to this version so many times and it will never get old! LOVE
Great version! Great live singing. Love the harmony.
SKAM FRance fans are going to get this video 10 million views.
Maybe more 😂😂
Skam france hi

Grace Campbell I know right, can only just hear it 🎵
I like how he didn't change it to "call your boyfriend".
He could be singing this song to a bisexual woman with a girlfriend or a closeted gay man with a beard.

Lennon needs to meet this guy.

Aaamaaazing. His voice is so soothing. I can fall asleep to it.
You voice is so good it gives me goose bumps . 3

True 😂😂😭
He is not gay and if he is so what I NOT YOUR business
Please English
Here pretty princess,
He is not gay, and if he is, than how is it your buisness?
I was correcting the original comment.
I apoligze if it came off rude, but i believe there was a miscommunication because i also took yours and thouhht it was rude.
He is gering married with a Amazing woman
marry me jajajajja
I love his voice!!
You are really good. You have a wonderful voice, you can control your range and pitch endlessly. Keep it up!
Nice voice, kid, but you don't have to look like you're in pain when you sing, especially since your voice is pretty mellow.
he always look like so, you can see this figure in all his video

+Faridah Ayinde calm down. Yeah he cute, but it didn't suck. I would like to hear you sing better. Y'all have no consideration for other people. Haters hate who the can't have or can't be. Keep that in mind

He looks like he keeps smelling a fart.

miley4051
Glad you liked that. haha
:)
he makes those faces cause he has a accent. come on people, be nice.
Shouldn't it be "Call your Boyfriend" if a guy is singing it? unless he is gay.
There's no reason why a boy cannot sing from a girl's point of view.
he also doesnt speak great english so
Or if his Girlfriends Gay
Anyway it doesn't matter☺️
just from a straight guy listening to this song doesnt feel right
Speaker is different than author or singer. I personally don't understand why change a speaker's gender unless it's for personal use of the message e.g. the singer wants to use the song to sing about his or her lover, then ok. Other than that, I see no point.
i love his voice !!!! made me cry. never heard such a cuttie like this sing like thins :3
i love that smile at the end
Nothing new. A handsome boy with normal, thin voice who sings a successful song. All the teenager girls like this. But only Robyn REALLY can sing this because it's her song. He should try to find his own style.
he is covering, you know? why you can cmt so ++
He is one of the highest payed singers in Denmark now ;)
I agree. So true!

Stunning. And he is just amazing! Love your cover..
his voice is really good!! love him 😍😍
This is...so excellent. At first I thought you were speaking another language. Well, maybe you were. But when you started...it's like you opened up another dimension of music. It's freaking amazing. This is the first video I've heard you sing in so far, but I plan on listening to more. Good job! Seriously!
Danish.. he's speaking danish 😝
When I found out he was Danish I was so surprised! He has such a beautiful voice and is blessed with such beautiful genes.
I love your voice... The way you sang this song is amazing
Some people are saying this is gay blah blah but the part implying that the bf and the singer are together (Don't you tell her how I give you something that you never even knew you missed Don't you even try and explain how it's so different when we kiss & etc) is clearly omitted. This is beautiful af. I really love Christopher's voice.
wow I love this
Beautiful job!!!
