Who's watching in 2024? What an amazing cover! I'm trying to learn to sing this song 🎵 to sing to my fiance soon. The day we tie the knot.
Awesome man! That is so cool! Would love to hear it. And congratulations!!
@@wikusbotma Thank you. The jump to an octave higher is the best transition to learn. The male version has to be a John-Legend type where the emotions of the listeners are triggered in an unforgettable experience.
I’m here
Awwws. Cradium from wow videos did it first with the deep voice and it is still my main cause really. It sounded from his soul he was siging this sounds like a cover. Well sing though
Half step down.
I loved this bro. Your version hit me hard😢
Best male cover ever.❤❤❤
Thank you!!
@@wikusbotma awesome sanger jy my maat, hou so aan met jou harde werk, kan nie wag vir jou Sokkie album nie.
Absolutely!
@@wikusbotma im still here mann this will always amaze me
@@mariagharzouzi5025 Thank you!! And thank you for the endless support 🙏🏻
And just in case anyone is interested - still listening to this amazing cover of one of my favorite songs.
Wow! I’ve not heard a male cover this so well. This is an AMAZING job!!!! I’m here in 2024!! The video was suggested to me and now it’s in my music playlist ❤
Wow that's amazing!!! Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻
@@wikusbotma you’re very welcome. You did a fantastic job on this. This is not an easy song to sing - I’ve tried many times.
@@PurpleWillowArts Thank you! This song has meant so much for me and my career 🙏🏻
super dope voice super dope cover
The best male cover of this song that I have heard! It's even up their with the cover by Sara Ramirez as my favourite version of this song. Truly amazing vocals!
Wow! I feel so honored. Thank you very much!
I 100% agree with that statement!!! Although I think he can still take it one level up and do what Disturbed did for Sound of Silent. The song was made for you 😂
Marvellous cover, great Song, deeply feeling's cover, thank for these emotions
This cover is something. Takes the song to another level. Will always come back to listen to it again and again
Thank you so much!! It means a lot. Comments like this makes me want to keep on doing what I'm doing 🙏🏻

At last someone singing the song with some passion!!
Wait... Brandi didn't?
Yes! The best cover of this song EVER!!! PLUS... it's from a male perspective & voice, which is what is what I have been wanting from this song for over a decade (I really can't believe it's been so long)!!! EXCELLENT!!! You freakin' NAILED IT!!!
And now leann rimes 💕 2020 mask singer
Janice Freeman covered it with intense passion RIP.

love it - beste cover van die song
Dankie so baie! 🙏🏻
First dance at my wedding next year :-) Love this!
Excellent job!! This is the best version I have heard of this song!! You have an excellent voice!
Thank you very much!
Dit het my so kwaad gemaak om hierna te luister en nie vir die rede wat jy dink nie! Om te besef daar is sulke talent in ons land en dan te hoor watse snert die ander kunstenaars vorendag kom is baie teleurstellend! Wikus, hierdie is los hande een van die beste covers van enige liedjie nog, absoluut pragtig! Jy kan regtig trots wees op jouself, hierdie is 'n meesterstuk! Sal baie graag 'n "studio version" wil hoor. Welgedaan, hou so aan, jy gaan nog vêr kom
Wow! Baie baie dankie vir die awesome woorde!! Die plan is om eendag 'n studio version op te neem. Dit sal 'n droom wees van my wat waar word. Dankie weereens! 🙏🏻
Qué voz rasgada tan bonita !! Buena versión en versión hombre, me encanta.
Thank you so much!
Awesome weergawe Wikus. Well done
Baie dankie Neil!! Ek waardeer dit!
You are amazing...Holy smokes I cant stop listening to this.
Wow!! Thank you so much!! 😃😃
Nice! I subscribed on account of this
Thanks for subbing! Appreciate it!
@@wikusbotma Welcome! 🙌
Essa música, em qualquer versão e voz, é belíssima!!!!
Diego Oliveira neh exatamente isso
Diego Oliveira Sara Ramirez 😍❤ tbm ficou fodaaa
Todas são boas, mas essa versão e a da Sara Ramirez são até melhores que a original
Ninguém supera a da Sara Ramírez
It is such a great song!!
Goose pimples.... Best male cover EVER!❤️❤️
Wow!! Thank you very much!!
@@wikusbotma welcome
I can't believe I'm just now hearing this young man.
It's 2021
Leann Rimes version is great
Your version is just as good
Thank you so much for the compliment!
Gaan nou nie lieg nie; die meeste covers wat ek per toeval op RUclips vind, is ka-... ek, bedoel, swak. Dié is 'n aangename verrassing. Welgedaan.
Fantasties om te hoor!! Ongelooflik dankie! Ek waardeer dit baie 😎🙏🏻
I can’t decide if I like his cover or Leann Rimes the best! They’re both amazing!!!
Wow!! Thank you so very much! 🙏🏻
Omg! This is just AMAZING! I love your voice 👌🏼
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻
Still Listening...
Thank you so much!!
This stays superb! Share this one folks. This deserves to go viral across the globe
Brooo this and lightning crashes are literally two BEST covers on youtube! PLEASEEEE give us more!
P.S fingers crossed for Use Somebody or 45 by Shinedown!
Wow thank you so much dude!! What a compliment!! I'm sure there is a small part of Use Somebody so where in my youtube shorts 👌🏻
Thank you for covering this song in that way. Very good job !
Wow that was great! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bruh! I'm just listening to the original version a while ago then try to look for a cover then i see yours... and your voice is incredible! 😳
Wow thanks man! I appreciate it! 🙌🏻
You’re voice just adds something to this song that I can’t explain. The original makes me sad but you singing it makes me feel warm inside
Wow, that menas so much!! Thank you!
You are most welcome ❤️
Brother you made my day. What a a beautiful tribute. Wow simply amazing. Heard this heavenly voice and nailed subscribe. Bravi!!!!!
Thank you so much man. I really appreciate it!
@@wikusbotma I don't think I have enough friends to get this song across to. But the ones I have. They were floored. Orgasmic brother. Best voice I've heard on RUclips. And Brandi Carlisle should be honored to put you on stage with her. Magnifico!!!
@@robertduffy7644 Thank you so much Robert! It means a lot!
Well done. Your vocals were patient and soulful.
Never heard someone talk about "patient" vocals, but I like it! Thank you very much!
No me canso de oírla , excelente!!Nivel Cum Laudem 🥂
I was just wondering if a guy could pull this off. This is great and answers my question with a slam dunk! You nailed it.
Wow thank you so much!! Much appreciated 😎
Uitstekende weergawe van 'n pragtige liedjie! Exceptional talent you are blessed with, Wikus!!!!! 🙌🏼🏆✨️

SING IT! Brandi is my fave singer and the best singer in the world.
Best cover I have ever seen of this song
Wow!! Thank you so much!!
Uau
Sempre ouço na voz feminina, sou apaixonada na voz de Sara Ramirez, essa música mexe comigo. Agora na sua voz grave e rouca que escândalo que ficou, espetacular.
I love your voice. Must hear more. ❤
Missy Bowling thank you! On it's way 💪
Beautiful! Like the key and the range he sings. Brings a more tender, yet still raw rendition
Thank you so much! 🔥
Wow ! Super hot cover !

The voice suits this song 100 %
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻
On repeat!
Best male version if not the best version I’ve ever heard.
Wow!! That means so much. Thank you
This is amazing! Can't stop listening 😍
Thank you so much!!
Just discovered your videos and songs. You are so underrated. Can't
believe there aren't more views of your music. Makes me think of Lauren
Daigle. I watched her videos way before she was famous and kept
wondering why no one knew her. Your voice is amazing man. Unique. Keep
the videos coming!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it. Busy putting out some singles in my home language, but maybe we'll release one of my English originals soon and we'll see what happens. Thank you for the support!! 🙏🏻
Just beautiful !!! Greetings from Bulgaria !!!
Thank you so much! Would love to visit your country one day!
Brilliant!!!!!!!
OMG 😍❤ Brilliant, well done xx
Geen woorde hiervoor nie!! Absoluut briljant!!
This is me absolute favourite from you. I'm addicted. Can't stop listening to it. x
Raw Talent! No one can argue with natural talent!
Wow Love your version of this song. Great voice and love your passion
Thanks!! :)
Awesome! Nice cover, greetings from Uzbekistan!!!
Thank you!! Would love to visit someday! 😎
I've listened to every performance of this song on RUclips, and this is the best.
Erik Martin wow!! Thank you so much Erik!
Totally Agree!
Let make this go viral!
Amazing!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
I got addicted to this song.
It's such a great song!! Nothing better than the original though
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true
I was made for you
I climbed across the mountaintops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Oh because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through
Like you do, and I was made for you
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
Oh but these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true
I was made for you
Oh yeah, well it's true
That I was made for you
Maykeld Wong what, are you advocating for the deaf?
Maybe Maykelds story is to post lyrics everywhere
Thank you
Just Discovered a new great singer.
Thank you so much! It means a lot! 🙏🏻

Brilliant and heartfelt
Thank you Ronel! 🙏🏻
