Probably listened to this at least a half a dozen times and the passion always carries me away. Never gets old! You'll have to excuse me while I go off to relive some of your other tunes. Always a treat on a Friday afternoon when the week is done!

This Audition was the first time I'd ever heard your name. I was hooked from the guitar intro as that's one of my favorite songs in the world. I am a faithful follower and I eagerly await your name to go up in big lights all over the globe like you were born to do it. ~eagerly awaiting the next release... ~your song / Something like me - is my new #1 favorite song of all time.. It Wreaks of everything I'd love to tell all the people that have stood over me and in judgement of me across my 54 years. Kudos Chris!

Same fella. Pure class!!

If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven? Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.'' Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways, from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him. Biblical explanation of the Gospel: God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23) The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell. Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him. For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ - for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned. No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin. Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ. ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins (past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him. This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him by reading God's Word. So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13) ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15) ''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19) Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin. While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6) (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually. When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36) ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7) If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes - to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God. You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son. ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17) ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10) You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ. As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so. In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.'' ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19) ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41) ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21) ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4) ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12) Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left! "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32) Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you! Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

Same with me and Agreed

I am younger and I am 100% with you. Amazing.

Couldn't agree more, I like it more than the original, maybe that's just me but what a voice this guy has 😍

His voice is so good! Love this audition!

The best

WATCH PASTORS PERSPECTIVE FEBRUARY 23, 2021 You Will SMILE 😀❤️

And he didn’t win AGT. By far the most memorable performer I’ve seen on the show and they gave it to a church choir… so sad how Americans value talent based on outside factors.

This version is next level

Chris Cornell

I wish his iTunes version sounded like this one tbh. So amazing. iTunes one not as good as this unfortunately.

He didn't have a sob story

@@Kn1ghtHawk99 and wasn’t part of any group

I mean it is just show off xdd it is so plastic and fake

Yeah is this the show that uses the golden buzzer?

Så klart, så rätt. Det är min gubbe

When he starts Imagine I would have buzzed right there and then before he even completes a single word

Que bien canta ni una desafinación ❤

Yahh i. Agree with you

@Luke Younts it's always the ones with a sad backstory or are kids who wins so not too surprising.

@Luke Younts It's cool. He'd already won the Swedish version of the show by this point. The fact that Cowell "guessed" he was a singer was bullcrap as he'd have been very aware of Klaffords success by this point. Not taking away that this was a beautiful rendition but the show made him out to be a brand new singer that hadn't done it before and it's not the case.

Ohhhh yes !!!!!!!!he deserved

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/r5tklWZ-fYCK1Wg.html

Black Hitler??? XD

Agreed !!!

@@gitsurfer27I was so confused by your comment until I looked at the photo

@@latenightbreakdowns2107 I feel like we're the only ones addressing this phenomenon

Better than the original IMO

would have to disagree with you. This is the best, 'A perfect circle - imagine'

I don’t see how you could improve on this version. It’s subtle where it needs to be and powerful in a way the original lacked. Love the original too but I do prefer the heaviness to this version.

@@briggs5569 um no. Im a metal head first and foremost and I love metal covers and I love tool. But that version is honestly pretty trash. It doesn’t have the soul of the original nor the dynamics of Chris’s. Whole heartedly disagree. But it is music so whatever floats your boat I guess

I would say that pentatonix' cover is better, but they are a group of five extremely talented vocalists so it's not really a fair comparison. Chris has some serious skill

that was really good but please there just cant be a better version than lennon's

@@tanishqrawat9559 That's the wonderful thing about opions. That's your opion and my opinion is mine. We don't have to like it or subscribe to it, but only respect the other person's point of view.

@@tanishqrawat9559 if you heard both versions for the first time not knowing who made it, Im pretty sure a big majority would pick this. Nostalgia is a tricky thing 🙂

Agreed! The style of upper level

It`s actually not that rare. And it is on full display on youtube. It`s always easier to improve on something existing than to create something new. That`s especially true for writing of all kinds (music, lyrics, books, poems). And not all writers were good singers. They did the foundation and better singers build on it. Happens all the time. The only reason this might be somewhat perceived as rare is that most people prefer the version they are used to.

Agree!

Yes exactly hopefully the powers that be have the fortitude to stop that bs . Weapons of mass destruction should be destroyed and be made illegal worldwide . We need governments that understand that and enforce that . Im sure we can find a solution .

@@rickkill9323 True that my friend. I am serving in the army aswell and we are getting prepared to be deployed probably in couple days... weapons of mass destruction are the worst kind of weapon aswell as being the choice of cowards

@divyanshu bhandari ?

Hello, how are you doing, hope your staying safe?

The guitar work was exquisite?

kodi lee is up there for auditions. along with angelica hale.

This and cornells version. Best 2

@@VillaIrwin hmmm

Such a big song to take on, and he performs it beautifully. I love it.

yeah

AND... he has perfectly applied pitch and all of the ability, so... yeah.

Well where is he today then? I'm not sure just asking

@@alcaholic9559 He is on tour sometimes with his concerts

Agreed. It takes tremendous talent to break through all lacquer & glitter that's been thrown at that song. He managed to find it's heart again.

Masterpiece will never die.

This cover and Janet Devlins cover are the best ever.

Yes, I was sure it had too much baggage to be great again, not so :)

I agree and I cried and I don’t know why.

Totally agree! 👍👍

@@Brucemcleod2345 me too!!

I agree

I agree Lee.

This man should have been given the gold!! Amazing & epic voice!!

You have great taste. This mans voice will make angels cry. He is a star!

my absolut favorite video on yt since i saw the audition the first time

The natural raw talented singers that have performed on AGT for 14-15 years and Idol from age 9-50 is mindblowing!! Why is it that raw unknown natural talented singers are capable of moving us in way they do?? Especially the last five years. I figured it out! the parents are feeding their kids weiner water soup.

I agree with you, he has a very pure voice, he should have become much more famous

This video has 46 million views. I think that is pretty famous.

Thank you so much!

Even if I had talent near yours, I still wouldn't have had your level of courage, to go in front of all those people and cameras. So I say Thank You for sharing your gift with the world. And I Know I'm Not The Only One.
