Guys, I myself love nirvana, but we should stop bitching about him singing a nirvana song and calling him a "Kurt wannabe" he was just covering a song, that does not make him a wannabe, it just means he admires Kurt's talent and therefore wanted to attempt unleashing his own talent with a legendary song. No harm done.
Clarissa Tavarez the dude tried to copy Kurts look voice and even got the same guitar as him Kurt was all about being different he would have hated this guy honestly how hard is it to be some what original or unique
have u found out the truth yet? the fragment is hollow in those parts, but u can find it if u go to chrushguards at night, kid dont try ur superior over me fgt, the basiks of the naloow dragonsos is superiors, that u cant fins of alls thatey u needf
Look, the guy has a good voice that goes well with the song, and is it ridiculous that someone is covering a Nirvana song on a TV show that conforms to pop culture? Hell yes it is, but at least the guy doesn't try to make it into some pop song; he sings it straight and true with a grunge voice. There's no way that we're going to stop people from singing songs that aren't meant to be sung on a show like this, so let's all just applaud him for his voice and his fantastic music choice.
Grymt som fan, hade druckit lite när jag såg d här också så jag blev helt amazed. Bästa framträdandet i Svenska idol nånsin, om inte alla Idol-program som finns.
At least they don't pretend to be revolutioners . Kurt always complained about how unbearable is all that glory...Please,why did't he made a contract with a smaller company?! I know the answer
Funny you guys say Kurt would hate people covering his songs when Kurt covered many artists songs and put them out on his records. Im a grunge fan but for you guys to criticize this guy for covering Nirvana is really fucking dumb.
Kurt never mimicked their look though. Cover a song, no one cares. But to dress, sing, use the guitar like he did is just lame. "I'd rather be hated for who I am then loved for who I am not" - Kurt Cobain
I'm from the UK and if someone sung nirvana on our joke of a singing competition they'd be voted off in quick succession. The fact that Sweden love this stuff is the reason I wish I was Swedish.
Wow, one of the BEST performance I have ever seen, this guy is so much like Kurt but also very different from Kurt. At the end of the day we are ALL ALIKE, we are all human who want to express ourselves.
God...every other nirvana fan has this disgusting sense of ownership over the band. I love nirvana, but who the hell cares who covers it and where they sing it at..
It’s because Kurt was harsh on shit like this, so by extension they feel some kind of right to go around gate keeping. They’re wrong, of course. This guy can do whatever he likes, no matter how cringe it is. I’m as big a Nirvana fan as they come, been a fan since ‘91, collected tons of memorabilia, own several of his collector guitars and then some, etc., so I understand how they feel. But I’ll agree that some of these comments reek of 17 year old poser bullshit. P.S. For a great example of someone recreating Nirvana in an awesome way, UA-cam search “Nirvana UK tribute” to see an amazing Nirvana tribute band. That band really pays homage to Kurt in the best way possible.
Yes, håller med de som skrev här under, Jay är idol, Jay är anledningen till att man ser på Idol. Han är bäst, grymmast, underbarast, och om han inte kommer till final så säger jag också såhär; Jag ska aldrig mer se på idol.
@TheCasey16 This is Swedish Idol 2010. He is amazing and can sing anything, Nirvana, 3 Doors Down, Sinatra, Metallica, Elvis etc,etc. He sang it all and HE WON!!!!! Finally an Idol that is not a Boy band wannabe!
oh my freakin goooood gåshud när man hörde denna , första gången man hört hans version och CHRIST vad bra cover .. finns bara nu 2 artister som kan göra Nirvana Jay Smith och freakin' Seether , sjukligt bra gjort !
Ik I'm late as Fuck but this performance was the way I found out about nirvana I was watching this as a kid and I asked my dad who made this song and my dad gave me a nirvana vinyl to play and now their one of my favorite bands ever
Stop trolling en enjoy the fact that this guy is a raw talent. people are NEVER satisfied we always Complain about the fact that there is no real music left in the mainstream,and i think this might bring a little bit of that attention back to the real music where it should be.
Sjuuuuukt, trodde aldrig jag skulle få höra någon göra nirvana så här bra... Och på Idol dessutom? Helt sinnes, aldrig kommit något bra därifrån innan och nu detta?
I totally agree, his voice is different; although this cover actually sounded good. His deeper voice gave it a dark undertone that suited the song well. Pretty cool cover I think
Han är sjukt bra! Tycker det enda negativa med detta uppträdandet är att det verkar som att han är stylad till att likna Cobain.. :/ Jays audition är fanimej det bästa jag sett :O
The host says: "Are you in Nirvana, Anders?" Laila, the woman says: " Are we in Nirvana, Anders?" Anders: "I can say this, when you need an explosive button you never have one." (once every season he say some pyrotechnic button for the acts that he likes on that occasion. he constructs one here and throws graffitti in the air) He says that he made it under the table. "You are so insanely good, you deliver every time and I am sorry that I have to spoil you but I am chocked at how good I think
För övrigt så hade de en konsert i Helsingborg där de framförde hela Unpluggedsetet för några år sedan. Jay var dessutom klädd precis som Kurt, och började allting med samma ord som Kurt sa vid den autentiska konserten :)
Hehe det bästa som hänt idol? Ja för det är ju vad världen vill ha. En till sångare som låter exakt likadant som alla andra. The calling, takida, nickleback, creed, crash test dummies, etc etc. Det låter sjukt tråkigt och förutsägbart.
@Flingpingz so true dude. Could not have said it better. a shame though. he has an amazing vocie but as in all countries the IDOL winners are famous for a year then they are blown away

Progression Skateboarding that episode was about to look and copy an idol
This is quite possibly the best cover of any song I've ever seen.
Amazing song,Amazing voice and amazing guitar playing skills,just WOW!
this was awesome what an epic cover

Yay, he did win! :D Judging from this awesome performance, he deserved it. :)
This guy's awesome. Totally rocking!!
“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are”
-Kurt Cobain
This guy isnt trying to be Kurt he's just honoringhis song.
P.S. There will never be another Kurt Donald Cobain.
FallenOnez93...and thanks God for that! The grunge killed the true Rock'n Roll
It was the theme of the week
FallenOnez93 Just look at him.
At least they don't pretend to be revolutioners . Kurt always complained about how unbearable is all that glory...Please,why did't he made a contract with a smaller company?! I know the answer
Han är den bästa deltagaren genom alla åren HELT JÄVLA KLART !!! looooove u JAY
Funny you guys say Kurt would hate people covering his songs when Kurt covered many artists songs and put them out on his records. Im a grunge fan but for you guys to criticize this guy for covering Nirvana is really fucking dumb.
Yeah but Kurt never dressed like them like a tool.
no. kurt would never wanted, that anyone covers his songs in a cheap silly "talent" show
And im sure nobody wanted Kurt covering their songs and making money from it.
Kurt never mimicked their look though. Cover a song, no one cares. But to dress, sing, use the guitar like he did is just lame. "I'd rather be hated for who I am then loved for who I am not" - Kurt Cobain
This guy is trying to be kurt which is just embarassing..

Så jävla bra... Bäst hittills någonsin i Idol!!!!!!!!
GREAT cover!
God...every other nirvana fan has this disgusting sense of ownership over the band. I love nirvana, but who the hell cares who covers it and where they sing it at..
Just don't dress up like Kurt, that's all i ask
+Kode Loner It does look like he's trying a bit hard lol.
Brandon Potter yeah

Fantastic. Very nicely done. Best Nirvana cover I've seen since Seether did "You Know You're Right." I love his scream.
nope, nothing can surpass the feeling that song makes you have and sung by him, it was just excellent
Jay´s bästa framträdande, och dessutom det fetaste i idols historia!
Wow! Love your vocals!
Whatever what he looks likes because that cover is sick and that fender is awesome!
Jay. Tror på dig själv, så följer vi folket efter dig. :) du är bäst!
Bättre än originalet och jag skojar inte! Hans röst is to die for! Äntligen min typ av musik och sångare i Idol :D
Älskar att han tar fram klassiker som Nirvana i Idol.
Sverige behöver lite mer grunge/rock/hårdrock/metal.
Jay är så jävla bra!
Han måste vinna alltså.. Den första Idolen jag någonsin fastnat för.
Rock is definitely your genre, Jay! =) Go ahead with your badass self!
Yes, håller med de som skrev här under, Jay är idol, Jay är anledningen till att man ser på Idol. Han är bäst, grymmast, underbarast, och om han inte kommer till final så säger jag också såhär; Jag ska aldrig mer se på idol.
My fave song sung by 1 of my fave singers!!!!
who gave this thumbs down ? Grr @ you.
sverige rocks and so does Jay.
I miss the America of the 90's.. Take the torch my swedish friends
Jay Smith har vinner idol 2k10 LÄTT lätt jag kommer stå och köa för en skiva med honom ;) Jay FTW =D
The Swedish IDOL Winner 2010!
Really good voice!!!
:)
han är så jävla grym, han äger ut hela jävla idol...HAN ÄR BÄST
HEY! WAIT! I've got a new complaint.. Forever in debt to your priceless advice..
This guy is awesome!! :D
han är helt jävla underbar, han förtjänar inte idol han förtjänar något så mycke bättre. han är fan anledningen till att man följer idol.
han är ändå bästa som varit med i idol genom tiderna
helt jävla underbar
@TheCasey16 This is Swedish Idol 2010. He is amazing and can sing anything, Nirvana, 3 Doors Down, Sinatra, Metallica, Elvis etc,etc. He sang it all and HE WON!!!!! Finally an Idol that is not a Boy band wannabe!
Holy shit..he did awsome..love the voice
Jay Smith,du e den bästa någonsin!!
oh my freakin goooood
gåshud när man hörde denna , första gången man hört hans version och CHRIST vad bra cover .. finns bara nu 2 artister som kan göra Nirvana
Jay Smith och freakin' Seether , sjukligt bra gjort !
Ik I'm late as Fuck but this performance was the way I found out about nirvana I was watching this as a kid and I asked my dad who made this song and my dad gave me a nirvana vinyl to play and now their one of my favorite bands ever
så jäääävla bra cover!!
Asså! Han e bara BÄST! Min favvorit helt klart
Älskar när han skriker alltså. Satan vilken röst!
jeezus his voice is awesome
Jay Smith.. vilken stjärna. Min absoluta favorit i år. Underbar version av Nirvanas originallåt.
I wish there where singers like you in the netherlands
he sounds like himself people! that's good enough. great rock voice.
nice att det redan har kommit upp en med bra kvalitet =)
incredible voice... really...

Sjuuuuukt, trodde aldrig jag skulle få höra någon göra nirvana så här bra... Och på Idol dessutom? Helt sinnes, aldrig kommit något bra därifrån innan och nu detta?
wooowwwww when are you coming to holland , I really like to be on one of your concerts
In love with your voice !!
jay vinner idol lätt ! :D
Bästa någonsin (i idol då) ffs. Han e bäst Jay
Bästa covern nånsin på denna låt
@TheBogHogen Håller helt med dig! Grymt stort plus att en idol lirar låten själv på elgitarr!
I am a huge Kurt Cobain/Nirvana fan, and I usually don't like covers of Nirvana's songs. But this guy rocked it!
Jag håller med den bästa jag nånsin hört i idol kanske till och med nånsin!!!!
I really want to hear Jay sing Creed. His voice would work perfectly for some of those songs.
Search Jay Smith - higher😁
this is great, the guys the kurt's voice, hair and mustang
+The Great Papyrus that's a jaguar, and he does not sound like Kurt Cobain.
His voice not sound like Kurt!!!
Första deltagaren i idol jag kan tänka mig köpa en skiva av
He did it ^^
I totally agree, his voice is different; although this cover actually sounded good. His deeper voice gave it a dark undertone that suited the song well. Pretty cool cover I think
Same thing in America. God Sweden is glorious.
Jag har lyssnat på Nirvana ett tag o gilalde den här låte så jävla grovt men...
Jay tog det till en mkt högre nivå än va orginal bandet gjorde! :D
Jay och Calle bäst i idol någonsin!
his scream is frickin' awesome.
I think I love Sweden now.
han är fan det bästa som hänt idol..imao
så grym!
This version is very good very good musician in his own rite
He smashed that
En bombknapp e för lite för det här, ge Jay fyrverkerier för denna otroligt bra cover av en av Nirvanas bästa låt!!!
Han är sjukt bra! Tycker det enda negativa med detta uppträdandet är att det verkar som att han är stylad till att likna Cobain.. :/
Jays audition är fanimej det bästa jag sett :O
Jay Smith FTW!!!!
så jävla grym!
SÅ BRA! SÄ JÄVLA BÄST!!
fan va bäst han e!!!!
The host says: "Are you in Nirvana, Anders?"
Laila, the woman says: " Are we in Nirvana, Anders?"
Anders: "I can say this, when you need an explosive button you never have one." (once every season he say some pyrotechnic button for the acts that he likes on that occasion. he constructs one here and throws graffitti in the air) He says that he made it under the table. "You are so insanely good, you deliver every time and I am sorry that I have to spoil you but I am chocked at how good I think
Om han åker ut......kommer jag aldrig mer titta på idol.
Lyssnade precis på album versionen av denna låt... och den suger fan hästballe =( riktigt besviken.. Denna version är king =)
För övrigt så hade de en konsert i Helsingborg där de framförde hela Unpluggedsetet för några år sedan. Jay var dessutom klädd precis som Kurt, och började allting med samma ord som Kurt sa vid den autentiska konserten :)
Idol är för liten för honom alltså
Grymmaste refrängen! Där kan han ju nästan mäta sig med orginalet :)
Hehe det bästa som hänt idol? Ja för det är ju vad världen vill ha. En till sångare som låter exakt likadant som alla andra. The calling, takida, nickleback, creed, crash test dummies, etc etc. Det låter sjukt tråkigt och förutsägbart.
DAMN dude!
@tomdewilde1 Music is live. The band behind is playing aswell as himself.
Ingen kan göra "Heart Shaped Box" som Nirvana gjorde, men Jay gjorde sjöng den riktigt nice!
kurt skulle varit glad över att nån kunnat gjort en bra cover, de är inte många som lyckats göra nirvana, jay lyckades
Likewise on the UK X-Factor! It would be unreal!
@mrrobotonaihu oh sarcasm, i was just introduced to it, so thank you
GO JAY you ROCK
His voice is a bit deep, I think he's be better off singing a Too Fighters song tbh
@Flingpingz so true dude. Could not have said it better. a shame though. he has an amazing vocie but as in all countries the IDOL winners are famous for a year then they are blown away
Fkn amazing
RESPECT!
@TheCasey16 dude this is the first time someone real good is on the show
