Yeah he's an amazing singer but you can't win something like that with this level of costume on. I bet he's doing just fine. I just looked and I see he doing a tour in two countries and 13 shows, or something like that. Great cover singer; I'm not sure what he has that's original; he probably does, I'm just not that familiar. I've listened to most of his stuff so many times at work while I'm doing mundane tasks by myself.
I sobbed watching this. This was me last year, literally. Alone, in a car, trying to eat a meal which was really just a frozen pie I bought from the store, six hundred miles from my wife, having massive relationship problems, and completely broken. The ending? That somehow makes the whole thing even more sad. Made me remember how I sat there, last year, alone in the car, sobbing that life was just a cruel joke. Thank you Puddles. You help me heal. I love you.
@n.lite.n111 Dude, anything can be crying material if it twangs the right nerve. Apparently it did with this person, and they opened up about it. I think that deserves our respect. Maybe professional therapy would be helpful, if they think they're in the place for it to be, but the ability to be open about one's pain is intrinsically therapeutic. No need to be mean.
In a way, the ending is a nod/citation to the ending of the original music video which also gets a comedic relief, when Billie runs back to the table and picks up something she forgot. The whole video feels(to me) like a citation of the original, she plays with puppet clothesm, Puddles eats cake both seem to be lonely and waiting for something. The biggest difference, besides the obvious difference in scenes, is the lip sync in Puddles video.
Using the windshield wipers as a metronome is BRILLIANT. Keeping it softly in the background throughout the song is beautiful, like Dean Martin's coke bottle clink. Unique, but when hearing it you'll immediately think of the song.
😂 yeah okay in a world with Rob Halford, Freddie Mercury, Corey Taylor, James Hetfield and Eminem ..you think this guy right here has the most amazing voice you've ever heard 😂 that's pitiful dude.
Billie Ellish and Finneas wrote one of the most consequential songs with "What was I Made For?" I think we alll ask ourselves that question at times. Of course the song was written for the Barbie movie, but for we fans of Puddles, we know it was also written for him and Puddles of course delivered the song beautifully. Thank you Puddles.
I would like to add an Adjective: quintessential This form of the definition is what I was thinking of... "Quintessential means representing the central nature of something"
I think it's funny people like you still believe any of these musicians actually write their own material when all they do is slap their names on a ghostwriters song.
How was it written for him if it was written for Billie Eilish? That's like saying Prince wrote Purple Rain but it was also written for the drunk guy at the karaoke bar too.
@@n.lite.n111 Possibly, but one would need evidence of that. Do you have a name or names of someone who has claimed to have written "What was I Made For?" If so, I will consider myself educated based on evidence.
I absolutely ADORE all of your covers, Puddles, but there's just something about Billie's lyrics/melodies and the emotion you (both, really) bring to them. Just listening to them on loop, imagining a duet between the two of you...
I can't believe my ears. You have an amazing voice and pitch, the clip itself is mesmerizing and the voice, God, how beautifully you sing. I really want to have your songs in my player, thank you!
Puddles in the rain, panning back to Big Mike.. It's brilliant as always!! Thank you Puddles & Big Mike. Can't wait to see you at the Vent Theater on the 19th!!
Love Love Love everything Puddles sings. His versions are absolutely beautiful!❤ If you ever get rhe chance to see him live,GO! One of the best shows Ever!
Actually, with some of the tools out there, there's probably someone with the skills to do this at home. People are doing some really interesting things out there.
@nerissarowan8119 Actually ..with people like you in the world who dislike truth..YES I like myself very much!! I also like my 5 kids and 4 grandkids and my man too. Whoopty doo huh? Do you not like yourself and you want me to see it your way?
It feels like an age since the last Puddles video so, I eagerly watched this and well? It doesn't disappoint. The vocals are clean, crisp and clear and the video is still sincere and simply beautiful. So...... Well done that man 🫶👏👏👏
I know people who post cover songs daily ..why would it take months if he was so talented and didn't have to overprocess his vocals so they still sound mediocre.
I'm pretty sure it was given to and recorded by Billie Eilish and if it was so perfect for him why didn't they sign him to a label and let him record it instead of Eilish?
You are just so brilliant! That is the most poignant version of that song I've heard. Pulling the camera back to show the guy with the hose was just absolutely inspired.
Love when puddles drops a video its amazing every time! Man is a national treasure and im so proud to be in a time he exists and shares his talent and love for music
This video came up while I was feeling quite sad, eating ice cream from the tub. Hearing Puddles' beautiful voice and watching him gobble up that pie was quite a cathartic experience. Thank you.
You enunciate SO WELL that often, your version of a song is the first time I can actually understand all the lyrics. I would have loved you anyway because your voice is great and your interpretations of songs are wonderful, but boy is it a bonus how CLEARLY you sing. Thank you for that. p.s. I saw your concert in Toronto a buncha years back. You came up the centre aisle at the beginning and reached out and touched people's hands on your way to the stage and one of those hands was mine. 😁 I had to reach across a few seats for that, so it's a good thing I have the wingspan of a mighty condor. That was a good night.
Gonna be honest, been having... a rough day. Started thinking of this track, because really, "I don't know how to feel." Then I opened RUclips and, well, here this was. So, thank you. I needed this today.
U never should have lost that tv talent show....I love your voice
Yeah he's an amazing singer but you can't win something like that with this level of costume on.

I've listened to most of his stuff so many times at work while I'm doing mundane tasks by myself.
He won. 😉
He won just by being there. We still remember him, don't we? Big W.
Oh he can sing anything... and man he can rock out... and he sings Elvis amazingly well! He's multi talented! @@StrayCatHomestead
This guy has been around a long time, makes a decent livivng, the exposure from the show was awesome.
There is not a single genre of music or song in general that Puddles can’t make better than the original.
The dude is a genius.
💯
I don't necessarily think they're better, just redefined, and put in a different light.
I disagree on some, but agree 100% on others. This, Everybody Hurts, and Losing My Religion are amongst the latter. Also agree the man is a genius.
😂 yeah cuz we want a guy who makes every song sound exactly the same .. one clown genre with subpar vocals. Didn't Leo Moraccholi already do that?
I dont think any of you know what genius means

Sobbed is the perfect word
So relatable. Sorry you had to go through that, and I genuinely hope you're in a better place now. Peace, friend.
Hang on. It does get better.
😂 yeah cuz this is crying material? Maybe seek therapy for your out of whack emotions.

What I love about Puddles is that the comedic outro does no damage to the emotional content of his performance. It emphasizes it.
Right, actually this guy offers a deep perspective of the lyrics of the song.
Yeah I agree
It reminds you he’s a clown. He’s a preformer.
@@Jaminsongunner I’m a clown, you’re a clown. Inside us all is a clown that he is speaking for.

You're the only clown that doesn't make me feel anxious. Love your singing 😊
БРАВО!!! БИС!!!
Same! I am not afraid of Puddles, but those 80s style clowns are not my thing.
@@mellowsoundspectrumwhy would a grown person be afraid of costumes..grow up
@@n.lite.n111it must be sad to have nothing in life but trolling people on RUclips.
@n.lite.n111 Ask John Wayne Gacy if most of the people who wear clown costumes aren't creepy.
He has the most expressive eyes. I feel like he could bring you to tears just by focusing on you intently for a few minutes with the right expression.
It's those Judy Garland eyes...
He looks vacant .. 😂
@@reneemichelle333what? You people say thee most ridiculous nonsense just to say shit.
@@n.lite.n111have you looked in the mirror today?
Kudos to Big Mike Geier on the garden hose! Best hose grip in the industry
I think he might actually be the Aqua Key ;)
Using the windshield wipers as a metronome is BRILLIANT. Keeping it softly in the background throughout the song is beautiful, like Dean Martin's coke bottle clink. Unique, but when hearing it you'll immediately think of the song.
You have found what you were made for, Puddles my friend. Brilliant. Love ya. 👍
Billie Eilish cover songs 😂 I'm sure he thinks he was made for more than entertaining you
Watching Puddles perform this live is absolutely moving. The entire audience was sobbing.
So many things that I could say, but today I'll say that you were made for bringing a smile to everyone you meet.
A great song made even better.
How is this better than Eilish herself?
Seriously one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard.
😂 yeah okay in a world with Rob Halford, Freddie Mercury, Corey Taylor, James Hetfield and Eminem ..you think this guy right here has the most amazing voice you've ever heard 😂 that's pitiful dude.
We don't hear many real singers these days. Like cursive handwriting , it's becoming a lost art.
@@n.lite.n111i would say Puddles has a better voice than all those people you mentioned. Puddles makes you feel things the others don't.

Timing to the wiper blades is genius. Wiping away the tears.
Yay! Another Puddles video!! Always my favorite! Your voice is so smooth and emotional. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.
"I used to float"
We all float down here, Puddles. We All... FLOAT!
Makin it out the sewer, cuz thats what clowns do!
Do we? I fly high I don't float close to the ground
Lol the IT reference!
Wrong clown lol
Ok Genius comment
This man is amazing. Such a beautiful soul.
His voice is just, amazing
He's a hell of a good singer. I really enjoy the sound of his voice.

What a wonderful performance! ❤Thank you for making it happen! Always remember: If you are having a bad day, do your best to have a good day instead!
You're the only artist I would love to meet in person. The world needs your talent now more than ever Puddles. Big hugs from Florida 🤗
Love Love Love everything Puddles sings. His versions are absolutely beautiful!❤ If you ever get rhe chance to see him live,GO! One of the best shows Ever!
BEAUTIFUL.
Those wiper beats. Brings back memories/feelings of driving, at night in the rain.
I would like to see you perform . I live in Dallas, Oregon. I listen to you all day at home and while I work as a Dasher. You keep me sane. Thank you!
What a gift to humanity you are.
I never pity myself for clicking as fast as possible on a new Puddles music video! ❤
Wow ..Who could resist a guy singing in his car..can't see that on smule daily right?
I love Puddles version of this song.
He makes you look for deeper meanings.
Well men are the most emotional dramatic humans on the planet ..I guess we needed him to mansplain Billie's song for her 😂
Beautiful Puddles, just Beautiful 🎉⚘️😊
So wistful ... then came laughs with coffee, pie, and your assistant Big Mike. You're the best, Puddles!
Первое видео, которое мне рекомендовано за такое долгое время. Великолепно. Как всегда. Браво!
Beautiful, sweet and funny, all at the same time... thanks Puddles!!!
I hope Billie has seen this. A duet would be a supernova of greatness.
She isn't a very nice person so I dint think she likes anyone except herself.
@@n.lite.n111someone you can relate to then?
Oh my god that would be epic!
Actually, with some of the tools out there, there's probably someone with the skills to do this at home. People are doing some really interesting things out there.

What an ethereal voice, shivers.
This voice ... I fall into your voice....
Always love that luscious voice.
Puddles, only you could make me listen to anything from the Barbie movie soundtrack...and only your voice could make me like it. Thank you Puddles!
Puddles, you’re a gift!! Much love big guy 💙 This is sublime xx (And nice to see Big Mike shuckin’ and jivin’… and hosin’)
I really do love the way you can find a way to squeeze a song to it's essence. As always, I'm deeply moved. That you for what you do, it's beautiful
I still have that guitar pick from Fort Myers 2019 puddles!!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!🎶💚👍
beautifully sung.
Love, love LOVE your voice and your take on songs.
Beautiful.

@@n.lite.n111it was written by Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas wrote the song. It takes literal seconds to check if you don’t know that.
Hauntingly beautiful!
What an incredible good voice
You are just so brilliant! That is the most poignant version of that song I've heard. Pulling the camera back to show the guy with the hose was just absolutely inspired.
I can always trust Puddles to make an outstanding cover of a song I hadn't liked covered before.
Well it takes him months to do one song .
Nice syncing of the beat to the windshield wipers. Can't wait to see you when you come to Omaha again, still the best live show I have ever been to.
Yeah that's so unique 😂 have you seen any real bands or just cover ones?
@@n.lite.n111 seen many non cover bands, actually I think Puddles is the only act I’ve seen that has done all covers.
@@n.lite.n111 You seem to love delivering "zingers" like this. Does it make you feel good?
Pure magic , music awesomeness
Now I want pie. (Thank you for the beautiful singing, Puddles.)
Love when puddles drops a video its amazing every time! Man is a national treasure and im so proud to be in a time he exists and shares his talent and love for music
This video came up while I was feeling quite sad, eating ice cream from the tub. Hearing Puddles' beautiful voice and watching him gobble up that pie was quite a cathartic experience. Thank you.
I absolutely love puddles' interpretation of songs ❤
I just saw you perform yesterday and now I see a new video today. Christmas came early for me this year.
I love it. It's so beautiful ❤
I love your voice Puddles, beautiful to listen to
WOW I am speechless and overwhelmed. Puddel's version is different and just as moving as Billie and Finnea's great song. He is a genius performer.
I love this song even more. Thank you, puddles for sharing your magnificent voice with the world.
You have such an amazing voice. Thank you for sharing your songs with us. Your voice is a true gift from God Almighty.
This just hit my repeat, repeat, and Repeat! Thank you!
Sublime thank you puddles !!!
Your voice has always been excellent. Glad you're still at it!
That is beautiful! Your voice is so soothing. The design on the tumbler is lovely by the way.
A guilty pleasure that has turned into pure pleasure.
This guy never disappoints, Thank you Puddles!!!!
Puddles doin this is the only reason it's worth listenin to.
Indeed. I really feel that way about Royals. Could not stand that song when it was all the rage. Absolutely loved it in puddles' rendition.
Every day I was waiting for a new performance and so I waited! You're like a breath of fresh air! Don't leave for so long, please.
Saw him in Gainesville, FL where he got his start.
Genius
I did?
I loved this. Puddles, you have 100% delivery every time, or at least for everything I have seen! Nick really shined! Great SE work!
You bring tears in my eyes Everytime I hear you sing ❤ I love it 🎉 thanks for your awesome videos and music covers
Как всегда выше всяких похвал! Браво! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Puddles, please come to Galveston, TX! I'd love to see you at the 1894 Grand Opera House.
You change it all! Keep it going you are more than great! The best of love from Denmark!!!! You are more than great!!!
Thank you for being you
Puddles, please, more new material like this (loved it, btw). We really need your voice, your take on songs, and indeed, your visuals. More, please.
As always, an absolute delight
Never heard the original. AWESOME!
Love this rendition. So very poignant. Puddles has such amazing voice and handles the full emotional range with equal impact.
Emotional and soothing...

Ah, nice to see you back again! Me and my friend, who introduced me to your music, were missing our fix of your beautiful voice!
It is rainy today, and this song and this video made me moody. Thank you Puddles! I always support you :)
Missed you. Great hearing from you
Thank you for the music and comfort and questions, Puddles. I like BE too- you wonderful translator of art to hit me hard across generations.
