1) you can actually understand the lyrics in this 2) his voice and style of doing this makes it so much better and it's less creepy. 3) Gaga is great but this is surely the best cover of it.
david williams wow o.o chill, Tooba never said that, Tooba said that this is the best cover of Applause, besides, if Tooba died then how will Tooba watch the video -.-

I loved Lady Gaga's Applause for the original tune, but the actual song was too upbeat in my opinion. THIS IS HOW I IMAGINED THE SONG IF IT WERE PERFECT. IT'S BEAUTIFUL
Don't get me wrong because this is an amazing rendition of the song, but Gaga just makes the song one to remember and never forget.. Whether you like her or not it doesn't matter
When a cover has a slow climb to 1 million views, you know it's a great cover because it didn't get it's views from the hype of the original song. It made it's climb off of word of mouth. So congrats, Sam, Yasmeen, and Jason.
Jeff Koons is an artist who was born decades before Gaga, and is known for his bizarre sculptures. He’s one of the many artists collaborating with her on ARTPOP’s transmedia experience. He ended up creating the cover for ARTPOP. One second she’s an artist, then suddenly she’s a piece of Jeff Koons artwork: A popular interpretation of this line is that she is saying “kunst”, the German word for “art”. Once an artie, now the art. Since Gaga has a thing for German, this double meaning is likely intentional.
You guys have real talent. I honestly can't think of anything wrong. I like the fact that you sound clearer than the original artist, so I don't have to look up the lyrics to figure it out. Great job!
this cover is excellent, but I'm so sick of people saying how covers are better than the originals. Without the originals, there would be nothing to cover...Gaga is one of the great modern artists so don't disrespect.
Disrespect? So I can't say my opinion? Ok, without Lady Gaga we would not have this cover. Definitely true but I'm sorry I prefer this version to the original and by far.
Sami Chaudhury I prefer this more than the original. Sometimes the original just doesn't cut it and a different singer makes it different and exciting and plus in covers people put their own twist on it. I don't like Gaga in the first place and it's not really disrespect cause everyone has an opinion.
Sam’s covers are not only better than the originals, they are the best. Love watching his smiling eyes too when he talks. They are so magical. Makes me smile every time :D
Worldwideex Understandable, and I respect your opinion. Sam did an amazing job and I really like this cover, but gaga also gives her fans variety by offering different approaches to live performances. For example, Gaga's performance of Applause on Sukkiri. She took a 140 bpm song and slowed it down with only piano and vocals to create a completely different atmosphere.
For some reason all his music videos make my heart feel weird (in a good way) and makes me want to get up and start jumping up and dancing and singing along :)
I like this because of 2 things 1. His voice matches the tone so freakin much better than gaga 2. The video is not terrifying and not out of this galaxy awkward
I have never seen such an awesome cover of Lady Gaga's Applause not until Sam Tsui amazed me and made jaw dropped with his rendetion. Sam, you are amazing!
I just noticed that you say "scream and cheer for me" instead of "cheer and scream for me." Doesn't matter though, I still enjoy it. it is YOUR cover after all! :)
These guys deserve a platform than they already have!!...Amazing and real talent....Awesome...Beautiful...i could go all day talking about how beautiful these people are...
Honestly, I hate the original video. I won't play it again. I wonder what is good with this song and video. But when I saw your video. WOW.. Sam.. I truly just understand the beauty. This is how the song should be released from the first time. You bring out the best from the song. Wonderful project! I will definitely subscribe!
Hey Sam. I don't know if you will ever read this but if you do happen to come across it, just know that you are an amazing artist. I love love love your covers and you truly make my day a better one. If you could do a cover of Daughtry's Waiting For Superman, that'd be awesome. It's an amazing song and I believe you'd make it even better!! :-)
I know that these comments are old, but please don't just say that you like this song because you found it on a yuri on ice amv. This work of art deserves more than that. ❤️
Sam you know your covers always make me so happy! You're always on point! Keep it up! Not going to say it's better than the original because I love them both equally! (Shameless self promotion time! I rant...alot...and also...CUPCAKES!)
We appreciate that YOI fans are visiting Sam's video to check his cover but it's totally rude when some of you leave comments saying that you prefer to see Viktor dance to it than to see Sam sing. This is Sam's video so back off! It's also annoying when you point out that you are the reason why the video is getting views. I mean, c'mon, Sam's video had more or less 4M views even before the YOI fans visited and a lot of the dedicated Samily are still watching years after he posted this. Give him and his fans the credit they deserve!
Yuri!!!on ice fans (mostly Viktor's fans becuz of MS-MV's beautiful amv about Viktor,anyways)ALERT!I REAPEAT ALERT!YURI ON ICE(VIKTOR) FANS ARE TAKING OVER THE COMMENT SECTION!RULE THE WORLD VIKTOR idk what i just said but anyways...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH VIKTOR BAE MY LOVE,HAWT ABS AND BOOTY ;)
I never say this ever but I had to pause the video to add this comment:this is so much better than the original. He took a basic, formulaic pop song and made it into something heartfelt and penetrating. He gave it the depth that the original was missing. He gave it life. I'm sitting here in shock. This dude is something else.
Love your videos so much, I could watch you sing for hours. I love your voice and your face when you are singing. Most of your covers are much better than the original.
Hi Sam, I met you in Dallas after your concert - it was awesome! I've got a question though - why wasn't kurt hugo schneider anywhere?? :( I missed him - I hope you are touring in europe (germany!!) soon ♥

lol true.
Rarely does a song send actual chills down my spine. Very well done.
Same
Same
It doesn't send chills to me, but it makes me feel alive and excited and that rarely happens. This cover is epic!
Sam Tsui's angelic voice+Viktor Nikiforov's majestic skating
This,my friends, is the formula for a perfect AMV.
Did you discover that an AMV like that does exist?
1) you can actually understand the lyrics in this
2) his voice and style of doing this makes it so much better and it's less creepy.
3) Gaga is great but this is surely the best cover of it.
Tooba Bahadar You got that right!
david williams Dang, chill. She never said that.
david williams wow o.o chill, Tooba never said that, Tooba said that this is the best cover of Applause, besides, if Tooba died then how will Tooba watch the video -.-
david williams She never said that, so ... [CENSORED]
Tooba Bahadar yes defo less creepy
His voice.
His smile.
His jawline.
I think I'm in love

The violinist and guitarist were both incredible!:)
This is better than the orginal. In my opinion. His melody makes it sound like the song was made for this tone.
Exactly
Agreeded
Gaga is gagging and wishing she came up with this version....
@@GRomance0804 no, not at all. The original is incredibly popular, she is definitely happy with what she made.
So true 😊
This is the only version of Applause I can stand listening to until the end. Love you Sam Tsui!
same with me
I see alot if people saying its better than the original I think both are very different and equally as good
Same!
Yes!
I love how he opens it with a violin and just a very generally softer, more gentle sound. It provides for an EPIC techy beat jump in!
This is just taking it to a whole new level. This is art.
I think the musicians deserve more recognition
LOL
it happened thanks to victor xD
It already has more than 4M views even before the YOI fans came 😉
I loved Lady Gaga's Applause for the original tune, but the actual song was too upbeat in my opinion. THIS IS HOW I IMAGINED THE SONG IF IT WERE PERFECT. IT'S BEAUTIFUL
Kana Ren I agree with you
his voice is just AWESOME isn't it😁even my mom dancing along
Well, it is a pop/dance song, but this version is DOPE. 😍😍😍👏👏👏
I love when Sam say "Nostalgia's for geeks" ( 1:34-1:36 ) ♥
i loved it too today when i hear that song mp3 i made it suddenly as i save on my head :D
Don't get me wrong because this is an amazing rendition of the song, but Gaga just makes the song one to remember and never forget.. Whether you like her or not it doesn't matter
I am a huge GAGA fan and a lot of people can't do her songs justice BUT YOU ARE AMAZING AND JUST ROCKED THIS SONG!!!!!
When a cover has a slow climb to 1 million views, you know it's a great cover because it didn't get it's views from the hype of the original song. It made it's climb off of word of mouth. So congrats, Sam, Yasmeen, and Jason.
this violin is giving me life 🎻🎶👏
The voice and the instrumentals are impressive!! Great piece of art :) I enjoyed it Greets from Belgium!
Leuk!
yey België haha xp
Selam Türkiye
The relaxing and soothing approach never fails. It's just.... fucking chills.
Watching the Yuri On Ice fandom flood in.
True true..
OH my wow. So im not the only one XD haha I came here after a Viktor Amv
😏
We're everywhere.
Hehe... sorry about that...
Amazing!!!! I could listen to this over and over again!!
Jeff Koons is an artist who was born decades before Gaga, and is known for his bizarre sculptures. He’s one of the many artists collaborating with her on ARTPOP’s transmedia experience.

Since Gaga has a thing for German, this double meaning is likely intentional.
Kunst is also dutch.
Means art too.
I dont hear it in this song though?
You guys have real talent. I honestly can't think of anything wrong. I like the fact that you sound clearer than the original artist, so I don't have to look up the lyrics to figure it out. Great job!
Violin always makes everything better.
+laughing Hawk I doubt it improves domestic abuse.
IMakeThings I don't think that's what they were trying to say...
Beautiful Sam mind blowing
Nice name and profile ;)
Amazing!
I've got to say, Sam Tsui.
I love you. Like no crap, I freaking love you.
I live to watch Sam and other talented RUclips musicians gain the applause they deserve.
First song, I've heard of him and I never clicked the subscribe button any faster
is it sad I love this more than the original 0-0
Mads b I do too •_•
Not sure if by liking your comment i agree that it's sad or if i'm supporting you... But eather way i love this song!
Me too, I like this way more
I love both. I admire so much Gaga and this is masterpiece. Think she is very proud of this cover.
Whaaaaaaat! This was amazing!!!! Added to favorites after the first chorus. You rock!!
YURI ON ICE!!!!!!!!!!!
yeahh!
sarah ¿DE QUÉ ANIME ES TU IMAGEN DE PERFIL?? what is the anime in your profile?
Yeeees!
❤
my favorite cover on youtube
This is fun because your cover is like 10,000 times better than the original.
I'd never like this song until now.
this cover is excellent, but I'm so sick of people saying how covers are better than the originals. Without the originals, there would be nothing to cover...Gaga is one of the great modern artists so don't disrespect.

All the APPLAUSE goes to Sam Tsui for making this beautiful cover!!
For some reason all his music videos make my heart feel weird (in a good way) and makes me want to get up and start jumping up and dancing and singing along :)
I like Lady Gaga's applause… but I LOVE this one..
I found this cover through a Yuri!!! On Ice amv, and I just had to find it. I plan to use this for my own edit in the future. May I?
Neko-chan me too
Sj Dj ARMY
Sj Dj Jimiiiiiiiin.
By just face
Me too
I like this because of 2 things 1. His voice matches the tone so freakin much better than gaga 2. The video is not terrifying and not out of this galaxy awkward
So if something is weird it's automatically bad?
There are two kinds of weird, good weird like unique and bad weird like disturbing weird like just look at the video it freaks me out
Primus Maximus i like how you replied to a reply on your 2 month old comment
And why should you give a shit?
Ah. I understand.
3:00 Omg FANTASTIC ♥
God. This version is sooo much better than the original! I'm really impressed!
This is an awesome cover Sam...you rock!
OMG I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THIS!!!
I have never seen such an awesome cover of Lady Gaga's Applause not until Sam Tsui amazed me and made jaw dropped with his rendetion. Sam, you are amazing!
I just noticed that you say "scream and cheer for me" instead of "cheer and scream for me." Doesn't matter though, I still enjoy it. it is YOUR cover after all! :)
I thought I was the only one who noticed that xD
Great cover indeed
this is seriously the most amazing cover of this song! i can't believe I'm just seeing and hearing this now! GREAT JOB TheSamTsui
This song is such as elegant version of Applause! I can't say which one I like better.
Finding this nearly 2 years later and I can't stop hitting replay. Sounds way better than the original
Viktor brought too many YoI fans here lol.
lol, me too
jιнyυn ĸιм indeed
MY FELLOW ARMY! Hello!
- Lᴜsᴛ ™ Maybe that's not such a bad thing ^♡^;
Me too

woah this is good
Honestly, I hate the original video. I won't play it again. I wonder what is good with this song and video.
But when I saw your video. WOW.. Sam.. I truly just understand the beauty.
This is how the song should be released from the first time.
You bring out the best from the song. Wonderful project! I will definitely subscribe!
i think so too! i don't like lady gaga, but this cover is so fantastic!
Hellno! Gaga is the best!
As a smart audience, I will only choose what is good for me.
Sally Ayumi sorry, i just replied to wrong comment. i tried to reply somebody who said something against his nose. forget about it. so sorry.
You see in this case it's not fair to the artist that wrote the lyrics so give some credit to gaga
the keyboard , the violin and the great voice. amazing.
This is so magical. I love it so much.
you slick semi emo huh?
Say what?
+Doe Eyes you kno kinda on the fence emo?
No.
+Doe Eyes so you strait up emo?
I know literally everyone is saying this but I saw this on a Yuri!!! On Ice video and instantly fell in love with your voice. I love this. Keep it up!
i love how you add your own style to the rhythm and to the way you sing the song.
Hey Sam. I don't know if you will ever read this but if you do happen to come across it, just know that you are an amazing artist. I love love love your covers and you truly make my day a better one. If you could do a cover of Daughtry's Waiting For Superman, that'd be awesome. It's an amazing song and I believe you'd make it even better!! :-)
this is the best cover of applause :D
Is it just me or is he, like, the sweetest person ever?
Sam you are incredible, please never stop singing
