Apparently smiling lifts your cheek bones etc. and helps to raise the tone and pitch of your voice! A lot of people do that when they sing high notes! (But not many as sweet as George!)
This is what the Live Lounge is about. Taking someone/band out of their comfort zone and putting their own spin on a song. During the verse George is out of his comfort zone in my opinion but as soon as he smashes out the chorus, he gives you the shivers. Great guitar skills also. Oh and I did not expect him to look like that LOL

This is a form of art. If you just close your eyes and listen, I think you'll like it. Its simple and cool. A lot of music these days doesn't really slow down and take you into it, and just runs fast and hard to try to sound edgy. Just because you have a favorite type of music or a favorite artist doesn't mean you can't appreciate others. He is really talented, and has a great style.

He'd be perfect singing hanging tree... This voice is so damn awesome for such a young man...
I think he sang too deep in the verses. You could tell that it is not that comfortable for him either, he struggled a bit. But, come on, from 1:46 to 2:06 is pure eargasm. Love his voice sooo much! Never would've tell he is 21 had I not seen him
His voice is like really deep and then he gets the high notes and I literally almost pass out, I'm not even kidding. Also when he changed the lyrics to Ezra's a four letter word. That made me really happy
this is not a racially insensitive comment, but more a general trend I've been noticing - John Newman, Sam Smith, George Ezra - well I thought they were all black when I first heard their music, crazy haha
George is amazing live too! like he said in the interview thingy he's not used to doing covers, he just writes he's own stuff, people should definately check it out :D
I've read some of the comments about his voice before typing out my own comment: It's that natural deep voice, and when he smiles the more HIGH tone that comes into play that makes him his own artist. Sure, this style of music isn't for him but he still made the song his own. He's more soft rock and blues singer than a pop singer that's for sure. :p He's 3 months older than me and I use to sing for a band in school before smoking took my sweet voice away from me. :( :p But there are songs sung by Bob Marley or Johnny Cash that would suit him and his voice perfectly. He's got a sexy, unique voice and I can see him going far in his career. :3
Isn't it sweet how they covered each other
And he realizes Ezra is a four letter word...
My Awesome money hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
***** cool gr8 to hear about h
+Anna Marie the only diference is that the cover by one republic made the music better and this one just ruin all the song
+My Awesome money so true tho
That awkward "subscribe here" moment always gets me
Me too! I always feel like they're obliged to say it every time haha
Apparently there's his handle and the spout pointing at the subscribe bottom
I love how he smiles shyly when he has to sing a high note probably cuz he's hoping he'll nail it!!!
+gelpy27 Exactly what I thought! XD
I thought the same, but after that he did it in the second time with more confidence and that was superfucking cute
Apparently smiling lifts your cheek bones etc. and helps to raise the tone and pitch of your voice! A lot of people do that when they sing high notes! (But not many as sweet as George!)
@2:08 "Down the river, every turn. Ezra's a four letter word."
Sneaking his own name in there so smoothly.
sweetXsweet2009 2:14 2:17 guys not 2:08
1:13 his little nervous smile gaaah bless him 🙈❤️❤️
Emma Thomas Actually before singing a high note, smiling slightly helps get better sound quality. Whether or not he is nervous is irrelevant.
Jamie Dash TV Well we can all agree on that.
Yeah I saw it
Hi i. 💘 love
This is what the Live Lounge is about. Taking someone/band out of their comfort zone and putting their own spin on a song. During the verse George is out of his comfort zone in my opinion but as soon as he smashes out the chorus, he gives you the shivers. Great guitar skills also. Oh and I did not expect him to look like that LOL
it's just how much we love, are, feel, so scary that ppl can erase that...
spot on
The way he moves while hes playing his guitar... George Ezra... IM ALLLLLLLL YOURS!!!
Oof and me
But unfortunately he is dating an icecream
EZRAS A FOUR LETTER WORD
OH MY GOD I LOST IT
Of Mumford & Bastille I DIED BYE
SAME
+Natania Angeles Not sure if I understood you right but Ezra changed the lyric as he regularly does with covers. See 2:13.
+Natania Angeles his last name is Ezra and in the original version it's "love" but he changed it to "Ezra" :D
+Of Mumford & Bastille Nah it's not "love" it's "hope" :3
Wow!!! His voice has so many dimensions... I'm slowly falling in love with him as he sings every lyric.
such a deep voice
He is my beautiful, undiscovered, underrated gem.....
He is supremely talented, yes, but undiscovered? "Budapest" was a huge hit.
Tis true, but his other songs, I believe, are underrated severely.
i agree! there are some amazing songs of his that deseve more recognition
Sarah C. Rain is amazing did you hear at 2:14 ?? In this song “EZRA a 4 letter word”
No more
1:35 that low note and then the guitar right after...and then the amazing-continuous onto the chorus. It's beautiful.
this guys all about the bass
Lol. xD
i seen him live supporting tom odell , and he was absolutely amazing
Hold up, you saw George Ezra and Tom Odell in the same day?
How he has bettered and risen fame since then
After he says "Ezra's a four letter word..." he looks at the camera as if to say "D'ya get it? It's my name haha"
Lol
Ezra is a four letter word.
Nice one
I looked at this before and I'm confused but now that I hear it it makes sence
I love the original but I love his voice its a really nice twist
His voice hurts my throat. That's how deep it is.
That's a good thing.
His voice is such a good match with this song! Love it!
I‘m falling in love with his songs and now I discovered that he and my favourite band covered each other’s songs. My life is complete.
he made it into a soft and smooth song, love it
Ezra + George + amazing voice= my new favorite singer. Thanks radio
a voice beyond his years
His voice is so good and specific, I absolutely love it.
The world is going to be so delighted when they (finally!) "discover" George Ezra. :-D
Absolutely love this, and as others have said, he plays the guitar beautifully.
Brilliant cover, thank you George Ezra 🎸😊
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
We'll be counting stars
I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my faces flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
Just doing what we're told
I, feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I, feel something so right
In doing the wrong thing
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
We'll be counting stars
I feel this love
And I feel it burn
Down the river every turn
Ezra is a four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
Just doing what we're told
I, feel something so wrong
In doing the right thing
I, feel something so right
In doing the wrong thing
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Pay them money and watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Pay them money and watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Really good cover,
made it his own.
Legend in the making.
Its amazing how he sings with such a low deep voice when hes only 22!!Its a true gift

He'd be perfect singing hanging tree...
This voice is so damn awesome for such a young man...
EZRA's a 4 letter word... and I love it!!!!
Exactly, just cause his voice is different doesn't mean it's not perfect ❤️
You'll probably never understand how I feel when I hear his voice but I feel like it melts butter over warm bread. #fangirlmode
Still good after 8 years !!!
Lost for words. Pure majestic loveliness
Omfg this is one of my only favourite song that is by george ezra and he sung it ❤️I have needed this❤️
EZRA IS A FOUR LETTER WORD! 😍I LOVED IT😍
This is TALENT.
I love everything about this guy:his voice,songs...
I think he sang too deep in the verses. You could tell that it is not that comfortable for him either, he struggled a bit. But, come on, from 1:46 to 2:06 is pure eargasm. Love his voice sooo much! Never would've tell he is 21 had I not seen him
His voice is like really deep and then he gets the high notes and I literally almost pass out, I'm not even kidding.
Also when he changed the lyrics to Ezra's a four letter word. That made me really happy
I didn't understand this song fully until this cover, it's magical
Some comments are so pathetic like shut up, George is perfect.
I agree.
Wait u love Ezra?!?!? EXRA IS A FOUR LETTER WORD!!!
power of this voice make me strong
I love his high notes.
Can we just take a second to admire his guitar skills?
His voice is amazing!!
His voice doesn't sound like it comes from him! It is so deep and soulful, love this version!
This version of the Song just maked me breathless. Wonderfull!
He has to do riptid from Vance joy
Yes!
MR Brightside Agreed, George is a great singer, and Riptide is the best song ever, so YES
it would be cool to hear some one with a low voice sing that song
His voice really relates to The Walking Dead. One of his songs needs to feature in an episode. :-)
I've thought this for such a long time! I'm glad someone else thinks so too :)
Rea Allen After looking at people's comments on the internet, I've found quite a lot of people agree! George, get on the phone to AMC! lol
Did You Hear the Rain would go perfect!
His songs need to be on Peaky Blinders
That's what I just thought! Did you hear the rain would be perfect, especially the beginning! 💕
*likes video before watching* because Geoff is freaking perfection and is the best thing that happened to the music business 💘
Anyone of you guys think that his voice doesn't suit his face?
...or this song.
His voice is weird
i totally agree with you...
Totally agree. Face of an angel, voice of a "blackish" tough male :) I love both the face and the voice :)
I agree but damn he's good
I like this interpretation of One Republic's song, it adds a new dimension to it that I find interesting.
his guitar skills are mad! love ya george!
he says ezra is a 4 letter word, thats funny. 2:13
Yep, we know what that 4 letter word is.....
Yep that's funny
Eduardo Hernandez The way he looked at the camera after saying it
George is amazing! Sing, song writer! He's awesome live!!
I fucking love him, I'm obsessed!
His Voice is Soul Shaking Deep, That's not a Bad Thing Though.
Love it
He covers this song so good
Really enjoyed this interview with George Ezra, and graham Norton, performance was tops George...
Amazing voice! Has a ‘Classic’ feel. Fair play to George he has a voice and a half. Also seems like a gent.
this is not a racially insensitive comment, but more a general trend I've been noticing - John Newman, Sam Smith, George Ezra - well I thought they were all black when I first heard their music, crazy haha
again not racist or anything, but i think its their style and how they use the deepness of their voice, I thought the same thing at first too.
I thought that way about Woodkid ;)
Definitely John Newman and George .. i almost fell off chair when i saw who John Newman looked like :P
Me too!
Haha, you aren't alone mate! I thought the same thing along with half the earth
EZRA is a four letter word
Man what a vocal
Love it.
I love his face when he says "Subscribe here !"
I love how One Republic covers George's Budapest afterwards
He’s just so amazing I love this ❤️❤️
Love this!! Such a good cover
You know what's gonna kill me ..that voice cause damn it's deep af but so hot😍
I think its just perfect.. Perfect
because i don't know the original..this is amazing ! you've got a new fan George Ezra
He's so amazing.... such a sweetheart too. :)
George is amazing live too! like he said in the interview thingy he's not used to doing covers, he just writes he's own stuff, people should definately check it out :D
He's beautiful in every way
His voice though... It's so... Awesome... 😍😍😍
Brilliant cover, even better than the original! I love it to see how George is in love with the music he plays ♥
He's adorable that voice so deep😍😍😍😍😍😍
He makes me forget how the song sounds like❤️❤️
I really hope that Alex Claire will get a shout to come into the lounge soon.
cant wait for him to come and put a spin on some one else's song .. and passenger too
I don't know why there is so much hate on this cover.... I've rewatched it for the last ten minutes?
the way he smiles while singing the high notes!
So excited to see him in Cardiff in a few weeks!
The fact that this was 10 years ago 😢
Bro it is the first time ever seen you singing one republic song named counting stars that's awesome 👏 👏👍👍
His covers are better than the originals!
I love the way he control his low voice. I'll practice mine
Maybe it's not good as Original version
but he did well he make it in his own style!
How Amazing! Love himmmmmmmm as always
Dude, his range is unbelievable
I've read some of the comments about his voice before typing out my own comment: It's that natural deep voice, and when he smiles the more HIGH tone that comes into play that makes him his own artist. Sure, this style of music isn't for him but he still made the song his own. He's more soft rock and blues singer than a pop singer that's for sure. :p
He's 3 months older than me and I use to sing for a band in school before smoking took my sweet voice away from me. :( :p But there are songs sung by Bob Marley or Johnny Cash that would suit him and his voice perfectly. He's got a sexy, unique voice and I can see him going far in his career. :3
love his voice, love him.
His voice is magical
He just made this sound like a Southwestern movie theme. It's amazing how his voice gave this song a totally different feel.
He owned it and did it just so beautifylly !
George seems so modest....jus love him
this gives me life
Absolutely love this!
George Live Lounging like a boss!
omg! love his voice!!
