Luther Vandross used to be my favorite singer. You have taken his place as my #1. Take care of yourself. Here's to your health. You have a gift that is beyond words. Most people don't find their purpose in life. Your purpose is to sing and play guitar. It warms my heart to know that you found your calling. You're incredible. Stay healthy, keep singing, and I'll keep watching in envy of your talent. I'm a 30+ year musician and a music instructor. I've yet to see someone who can move me the way you do with your prowess. Feel good about what you've accomplished. You're one in a million!!!
Austin, you have an amazing voice. If you aren't already, you need to join a choir or a club. You were so amazing, I am using this video as a project for my chorus class. They could really use the inspiration, you have inspired me to be a singer. I just recently tried out for a solo, thank you so much. :)
I have a request..."Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd. I found your foo fighters cover accidentally because I thought it was the Floyd cover and have since subscribed because I dig your delivery of what I have seen so far.
fantastic rendition Austin, and nice to hear you are doing well health wise, once again thank you for your music.......and if you have an empty moment give 'shadows fall' by the proclaimers a listen I would love to hear you do a version of that beautiful threnody...
Artur Balthazar "keep on having health problems,cause i don't wanna risk you losing your voice." TIL people think like: -my ear's pleasure>one's health- pathetic
Artur Balthazar wtf man apperantly your pleasure is more important than his health? pathetic i would rather see him lose weight even if that means i cant listen to his beautiful voice
Artur Balthazar HOW would lowering the amount of subcutaneous fat in his body have an effect on his vocal chords, you can't honestly believe this. "Keep up the weight" do you want him to die? I don't he's very talented it would be a shame.
Thank you! I can assure you many of us are out there that have been waiting for this cover of this tune. Without the frat slew drunkard element you can actually hear the soul of this song through your outstanding vocals! This cover finally lets this song find its way on the soundtrack for this scene of our lives, with the movie of memories so felt and magical xo
I have been missing you. Glad to see you upload something new. You are such a wonderful soul. You are and will continue to do great things. Don't ever stop, believing.
Omg I seriously love what I've heard from you so far! I love the feel good songs you sing. I hope you're able to write your own original stuff too! we need more feel good songs in the world...bring back the 90's!
Austin, My heart is happy. What a blessing to stumble upon this. Music is such a powerful force and you my friend, harness it so gently yet with such fierceness. To a song that is known to be performed with such raw and unbridled emotion, you have managed to slow it down but still carry the same amount of urgency and emotional pull that it was created for. I wish you well and know you are loved from Portland, Oregon. I am glad your heart is better, as you made mine so much more.
You are my favorite cover artist on youtube. I have watched almost all of them. I really enjoyed "I'll never be with you". Please post more originals as well.
Since the moment I heard one of your covers I felt so relaxed, so happy, that I had to keep looking for more. I know for sure that if I had a bad day I can always come and listen to one of your covers. Please keep doing this. Have a good day :)
I was looking for an "rock" acoustic version of this song, and even if that's not what I was looking for, I stopped everything I was doing when I started hearing this version. You're good! Cheers from Brazil

I guess it's kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released series online?
Why are you not popular? You sing better than Justin beiber. #BestVocal
Because he doesn't look like bieber thats why
161k on youtube is quite popular. Its all subjective I guess...
literally just said to myself "if this guy was Justin Beiber everyone would love this guy"....good call lol
You can call Bieber many things, but "artist" is a bit of a stretch
You guys shud check out Bieber's Let it Be cover. I'm not a fan of him but I don't hate him either( coz of that cover)
The voice of an angel
I felt the same.
omg. You're amazing. When you started to sing, I stoped all the things that I was making.
You took the words of my mouth +Maryana Damasceno. What a performance!

Austin, you have an amazing voice. If you aren't already, you need to join a choir or a club. You were so amazing, I am using this video as a project for my chorus class.

It's not easy to cover Steve Perry's vocals but you did it! Great job man!
this is not about Steve Perry. Everything is different, key, chords, tempo, etc.. Hes making it his own.
Awesome. Better than any other cover. You should be a star we all know.
Every person who talks shit on you cant even get close to the talent you have.
Mate, you have a fine voice. Soft and clear. Maybe one of the best covers i've ever Heard. Great job With the High notes.
Fuck, poking my heart'n shit.
kml lol
Your talent amazes me, Austin. Keep inspiring people, just as you always have. You're the best. X.
You're an inspiration to people. You showed the cliche "don't judge a book by its cover". I hope you can do more covers :)

Do -I Don't Want to Miss a Thing- by Aerosmith
WOW! I love your voice! Thank you for sharing your talent with the world! AMAZING.
you're always mentioning these fuckign health problems, why not lose weight so you dont die early and can keep making amazing music?
Because if he loses weight, his voice may change. Keep up the weight! :)
Artur Balthazar "keep on having health problems,cause i don't wanna risk you losing your voice."
TIL people think like: -my ear's pleasure>one's health-
pathetic
Artur Balthazar wtf man apperantly your pleasure is more important than his health? pathetic i would rather see him lose weight even if that means i cant listen to his beautiful voice
Artur Balthazar HOW would lowering the amount of subcutaneous fat in his body have an effect on his vocal chords, you can't honestly believe this. "Keep up the weight" do you want him to die? I don't he's very talented it would be a shame.
maybe he's seriously ill, and on medication that makes him gain weight, just think about this. don't judge, you don't know everything.
Yes you we're born to sing the blues and whatever else. Great job man!
