I’ve been in a downward spiral after a huge loss in my life…my husband died and I’m a widow at 47. Losing our unbelievably talented and beautiful Olivia yesterday has pushed me over the edge! I was almost 5 years old when Grease came out…Gen X here! Olivia was such a TITAN in my childhood. This cover was on my home page so I clicked on it and WOW! It seriously blew me AWAY! So happy it happened today for me. Unbelievably freaking GORGEOUS 😍🙌🏼
Guess mine is not the first heart broken My eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know there's Just no getting over you You know I'm just a fool who's willing To sit around and wait for you But baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you But now there's no way to hide Since you pushed my love aside I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you My head is saying fool forget him My heart is saying don't let go Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you But now there's no way to hide Since you pushed my love aside I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you
he's basically perfected straining his voice. Total opposite of an insult. Its extremely impressive seeing the strained notes hit nearly perfectly in tune, considering how much hes had to push his voice to get to the point of reaching the note. This man also shows that you can strain your voice and sound amazing and powerful, contrary to traditional singing rules frowning upon it.
Yeah it's a wonder how he's still able to sing He's incredible When I saw them open for black sabbath I thought the feedback was going crazy until I realised it was his voice and that was my introduction to rival sons in 2016 and that was the year I started singing trying to be like Jay or Bruce Dickinson or Robert plant but those guys are something else entirely
How is Rival Sons not a bigger deal? I literally had not heard of them until about a month ago. I just saw them live in Detroit this past Tuesday and they freaking blew the doors off The Fillmore. What an absolutely incredible live show they put on. LOVE this band. Jay's vocals and Scott's guitar playing are just at an unbelievable level.
It's our job as the fans of RS to spread the word...they are definitely the best band in Rock right now...I just hope Feral Roots brings them the recognition they deserve.
In one word: Mesmerizing The long answer😂 •Taking a female POP song recorded in 1978 & turning it into a male Rock song in 2019 & conveying that kind of emotion...Incredible!!! The guitar playing...Incredible!!! They literally look & sound like what every girl imagines a rock star/band to look & sound like. ( At least in my fantasies )😂🤘🏻
i think ive listened to this version 500 times already. I love this rendition. It brings me to tears ... amazing... wish they were coming back to pittsburgh!
I'll admit two things. 1. Olivia Newton-John has been my favorite vocalist/singer for forty-seven years-I'm fifty-four. 2. I had never heard of you giys before. Loved this rendition. I don't think most folks have any idea how hard it is for a great female vocalist to sing this song. For a great male vocalist, it's damn near impossible. You guys made a very long day most enjoyable at the end of it. Thank you!
@@griselame WOW! Thanks for the suggestion. Shooting Stars kicks ass in numwrous ways. I think someone's going to have to buy an album and quickly become a fan of these guys. WHAT a talented vocalist !
@@luvyesmusic my work is done:) feral Roots the last album doesn't have a single bad song on it its a great album. And if you love their acoustic songs, check out their cover of long as I can see the light (CCR), back to black (Amy wine house) and it's a man's world (James Brown). Jay is the truth!
What a fantastic metal singer. Crazy good version of this song. Those high notes are high man...... anyone try sing this song with top notes that powerful.
Only just discovered it by accident. Massive Rival Sons fan and this is the best version. Wish they would release it because I can’t get enough of watching it!!!
Hearing this during the time we are all thinking of Olivia Newton John's magical contribution to our lives and grieving her passing, I speak for myself with a heartfelt thank you for doing this song such justice. You guys are beautiful. R.I.P. Olivia Newton John.
WoW!! I've never heard this song,sung by a man.And watching this we can understand how high were the notes sung by Olivia Newton-John."Hopelessly Devoted To You" is truly a very difficult song to sing...the guy acomplished with great strive the mission...
I discovered this via Juliette lewis (she knows her music) ive had it on repeat for two days. hairs on the back of the neck stuff and im now into rival sons. that's the beauty of the Internet and its innocent first intentions. and of course lets not forget the beautiful life of the original singer: Olivia newton John. legendary princess x
Jesus Christ that guy's voice is insane. This came up on my feed. I know nothing about this band or singer but boy am I glad I took the time to listen.
I must admit that I come back to watch this video every month since I discovered it back on 2020. I love Jay's feeling to sing this beautiful song. I never get tired of admiring his voice.
if i could sing like this, i'd never talk. sing everything. always.
hahaha
Lmao
You’d get laid a lot.
He is fantastic…..he sings from his heart and soul
i would order Starbucks like this.
Still here in September 2024.
hell yeah man
October
November
November 2024 for me.
December for me
Anybody else listen to this 10x in a row or is it just me? 😅❤❤
Not in a row, maybe twice but I do listen to this at least once a week.
People gushing (rightfully so) over the vocals, but the guitar is hot damn exquisite!
The combination of the two is just unreal. This kind of talent should be much more recognized!
People gushing. Forever it ist in corrección. Guitar. Exquisitez guitarr
Scott is one of the best guitarists we've heard in a long while
I just discover this cover today. I couldn’t be happier. He is quite literally one of the best male rock singers alive. Criminally underrated
Rock?
@@moondawg3693 yes. Because he doesn't sing classical, metal, funk, country, etc. He's a rock n roll singer
@@moondawg3693 yeah bozo
He’ll go to his falsetto in a minute.....wait.....wait.....
Nope, all full belt voice. Absolutely unreal.
I kept waiting. That was insane!!! Just...AHHHHHHHH!!!!
He does not need such a perishable resource as Falsetto. Amazing!
contrived and over the top performance
@@OS-yg9fr or freaking awesome performance
@@OS-yg9fr I second dingus. Let’s hear your cover of this song
Still here in december 2024. and this song still tuch my heart
Jay Buchanan is one of the best, most soulful vocalists of his generation.
lol
Is this the singers name? Id just like to know the name of the man who’s soul i just fell in love with
@@RochelleLong924 yes
Jay Buchanan will be remembered as one of the greatest vocalists of our time I have no doubt.
This is one of the best acoustic covers I've ever heard
Seriously
You ain't nevea lied !!🙃🙃🙃
This is one of those videos I wish I could like multiple times.
I never thought anyone else was gonna sing this properly.
Or even better. His passion gives me chills and puts tears in my eyes.
Harry styles also nailed this on his tour.
@menalcee22 hes so bad compared to actual male vocalists like chris cornell who would've been amazing
I wish this was on spotify
Can’t stop listening to this cover. The vocals are outrageous
Yes, in a hideous American Idol kind of way. No wonder she doesn't want him around.
@@curbmassa go ahead and sing it better
@@curbmassa I guess Americal Idol has improved quite a bit since I last watched it?
Damn you're deaf then lmao
curbmassa its called rock...
Lol didnt think i needed to hear this as much as i did. That made my day.
Damn! George McFly can sing!!
hahahaahahah
Best comment ever.
Best comment ever +1
Glad I wasn’t the only one to think that he looks a lot like George McFly!
😂🤣
I watch this every single night after work and its absolutely amazing, this rendition.
No auto tune kids. That is what is called pure talent. Get you some of that.
You say that as if you're the one singing.chill, because your probably just as talentless as the rest of us..
@@corybanasiak no it isn't?
Tune by Heart+Cocaine.
Talent and practice!
Instead of being mad let people have there chance I have vocals and I mess with talk box
I’ve been in a downward spiral after a huge loss in my life…my husband died and I’m a widow at 47. Losing our unbelievably talented and beautiful Olivia yesterday has pushed me over the edge! I was almost 5 years old when Grease came out…Gen X here! Olivia was such a TITAN in my childhood. This cover was on my home page so I clicked on it and WOW! It seriously blew me AWAY! So happy it happened today for me. Unbelievably freaking GORGEOUS 😍🙌🏼
Oh hon. I'm so sad about your husband. But remember Olivia fought cancer like an Amazon.
@@DARWINZOO You are so right…I think it was just the shock of it. Our beautiful woman deserves to rest now, she’s fought so very hard. 💕
So sorry... Oliva was one of the WRITERS on this! Wow.
So sorry for your loss Jeanae. ❤ there's just something about this cover..
So sorry for your loss. It may not seem like it, but this too will pass.
I wouldn’t even be mad if they did a full grease OST cover album.
Hahahah Jay all dressed up like travolta singing “grease lightning”. Jay would probably still find a way to make it sound good.
Ahahah this was good
The only problem with this cover is that it ends.
@Juan Sergio We don't really give a shit.
Indeed
Clever girl
Loop mode on! hahaha
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen Jesus Christ
Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know there's
Just no getting over you
You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's no way to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying fool forget him
My heart is saying don't let go
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's no way to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Touching. But I'm still dumping your ass.
Thank you.
Wow samyaza
WoW what a voice. That was absolutely beautiful 👏 Love this❤
Umm...wow!
Ummm agree!!
Umm totally ❤
My thoughts exactly.. 🤯
Exactly!
I felt that .
The proper way to sing this song, right in the feels
Excuse me while i pick my jaw off the floor!!!! That is incredible.

Yes. But it's clearly not healthy, and that's the issue. But he could add distorsión without straining in an unhealthy way.
I think it's just frowned upon cause it's bad for your voice long term
@@Eballz713 And that's probably why he doesn't sing it during Rival Son performances.
Yeah it's a wonder how he's still able to sing
He's incredible
When I saw them open for black sabbath I thought the feedback was going crazy until I realised it was his voice and that was my introduction to rival sons in 2016 and that was the year I started singing trying to be like Jay or Bruce Dickinson or Robert plant but those guys are something else entirely
I saw that show in '16 too! Where did you see them?@@alexpaulyoungthemuso3937

Saw these dudes live a few years ago. It was stunning. His vocal ability is out of this world. And to be singing Olivia Newton John. Sheesh.
This man voice is ridiculously beautiful
just came back to this because i had to play it in a session. i love this version and this song is impeccable
If I could give this a trillion Likes I WOULD., phenomenal!
I can’t count how many times I’ve revisited this video. By far the best cover of this song.
This is a vocal masterclass
In one word: Mesmerizing
The long answer😂
•Taking a female POP song recorded in 1978 & turning it into a male Rock song in 2019 & conveying that kind of emotion...Incredible!!! The guitar playing...Incredible!!!
They literally look & sound like what every girl imagines a rock star/band to look & sound like.
( At least in my fantasies )😂🤘🏻
Same ❤😂
And nursing a broken heart doesn't seem so bad if I can cry myself mad with this. Damn, those vocals. Amazing.
Omfg. This man can sing the shit out of a song. Furiously looking for everything he’s done.
This and Post Coital kiss is perfection.
I have a CD of his early stuff somewhere
His cover of Wild Horses is really something else.
i think ive listened to this version 500 times already. I love this rendition. It brings me to tears ... amazing... wish they were coming back to pittsburgh!
Have you seen them before?
I saw them in ATL in April. I think they are the best band going and have been for the last 10 years or so.
One of the best vocals I've heared absolutely strong voice
I'll admit two things.
1. Olivia Newton-John has been my favorite vocalist/singer for forty-seven years-I'm fifty-four.
2. I had never heard of you giys before.
Loved this rendition. I don't think most folks have any idea how hard it is for a great female vocalist to sing this song. For a great male vocalist, it's damn near impossible. You guys made a very long day most enjoyable at the end of it. Thank you!
I think you will love this song, one of theirs, too: ruclips.net/video/cPtMgsN8Tpo/видео.html

Glad you discovered this amazing band and Jay's amazing vocal talent! and Im 48 and loved the original too. ;)
@@griselame Great shout:- Their rendition of Black in Black gives me chills up my back just like this does. 😮😎
NO ONE can belt out such beautiful lyrics like Jay Buchanan does it. Awesome, man!
Unreal! He sings from his gut and means every word. Cannot wait to see them in Newcastle!
Going tonight to Manchester Academy 😊
Youll not be disappointed, seen them 3 times over the years and they just get better!
What a fantastic metal singer. Crazy good version of this song. Those high notes are high man...... anyone try sing this song with top notes that powerful.
Absolutely magical
Whoa, thats the voice of a rockstar. God damn it reminds me of the classic days of Queen and bands alike.
It's a thrill to watch someone singing like their life depended on it. All the best belters have this rare quality.
FOKKIN POWERFUL! Gave this old guy chills.
Jay, you are incredible
You can see the passion when he's hitting them high notes. Kudos
Had the pleasure seeing rival sons in concert. Will NEVER forget that night. Absolutely amazing band. ❤
Love you guys! RELEASE THIS AS A SINGLE PLEASE!!!
I’m hopelessly obsessed with Jay and his voice 😍
Damn he could sing the phone book!
Thats if you could find one in this new age. 😆
My first time hearing his voice. Im gonna have to hear more.
Check out Jordan by Rival Sons good place to start
This man could sing to me from a set of stereo instructions and I’d still listen intently. He’s truly a world class singer.
Still listening to this every couple of weeks.
guess i'm hopelessly devoted to this cover
Same!
Same here!
Great cover of a fantastic song from a remarkable musical.
Just found a new favorite band.
Welcome onboard :) go see them live as fast as you can, best live band you will ever see
I revisit this so often.. wish it was on Spotify
A super band and a wonderful version of a killer song , perfect.
Mark Kelly I just caught wind of Rival Sons, give me some recommendations yeah?
@@bryanhawkins9418 Sorry , just saw the message , basically anything they've done , "pressure and time" for one and "Manifest destiny" for another .
Sublime cover.
Only just discovered it by accident. Massive Rival Sons fan and this is the best version. Wish they would release it because I can’t get enough of watching it!!!
That’s what it needed thank you
Hearing this during the time we are all thinking of Olivia Newton John's magical contribution to our lives and grieving her passing, I speak for myself with a heartfelt thank you for doing this song such justice. You guys are beautiful. R.I.P. Olivia Newton John.
BEST COVER EVER.
...and that's the way you honor this song properly 😢 RIP Olivia Newton-John
Must have replayed this at least 100 times.
vocals are unbelievable and that guitar playing is superb
boy am I glad I clicked on this
He's singing his heart out.
This is not just talent, this is a hard work behind his voice
These guys are a breath of fresh air. Just recently got into them and they are pure kick-ass!
I played this song to my wife, we danced in the living room. When great music meets great love things happen
*sigh* falls in love 😍
I adore this version of a beautiful song.
Spookily this popped up just as Olivia passed. I saw these guys last month in London. Amazing.
WoW!! I've never heard this song,sung by a man.And watching this we can understand how high were the notes sung by Olivia Newton-John."Hopelessly Devoted To You" is truly a very difficult song to sing...the guy acomplished with great strive the mission...
Not the typical Grease cover. Super happy
This make me smile and cry❤ hugs from Brazil❤
One of the best cover I've ever heard in my life.
Amazing cover and this band should have a massive following
Jay is one of the great voices in music history.
The BEST interpretation. Thus guy can really sing. Amazing.
I can hear a Janis Joplin vibe on Jay... Love u man
Man, I need to hear Jay cover. "This is a man's world"
It's on RUclips if you look for it ;)
Amazing! My favorite bandmates flawlessly legitimizing a song that I have always loved! Olivia Newton-John would be proud.
I discovered this via Juliette lewis (she knows her music) ive had it on repeat for two days. hairs on the back of the neck stuff and im now into rival sons. that's the beauty of the Internet and its innocent first intentions. and of course lets not forget the beautiful life of the original singer: Olivia newton John. legendary princess x
Beautiful. What a great find.
very well done guys
Most incredible version....... Rest in Peace Olivia..
This cover deserves more views & likes.
WOW.....who would have thought these guys would have covered THIS tune?!?
Not mad at all that i just found this video today. Better late than never.
Brilliantly redefined this song! They can do no wrong!
Is there a word for a man making another man tear up with his voice???
How many times I've listened to this I cannot even count... soo so good!
What a powerful voice....I consider myself a decent sing along singer but I can't keep up with this guy.
Jesus Christ that guy's voice is insane. This came up on my feed. I know nothing about this band or singer but boy am I glad I took the time to listen.
I must admit that I come back to watch this video every month since I discovered it back on 2020. I love Jay's feeling to sing this beautiful song. I never get tired of admiring his voice.
