I swear I have watched this 100 times, take away the commercial glitz and big production. A man sits in a studio armed with nothing but a piano and his voice... and reduces all of his critics to dust. The biggest credibility restoring performance ever. Thankyou guys
@@TheosEpicVideos idk about apple but on android and windows spotify theres a 'local files' playlist that scans for mp3's on your device if youre catching my drift.
Still to this day I've never heard a better like a version. Guy has the most incredible vocal abilities, and should be invited back to TripleJ to perform his own like a version.
@@TownsvilleJkWrangler 8 out of 10 of mine made the list. This was my number 1, followed closely by Vera Blue Breathe Life which sadly didn't make it despite the incredible vocal sigh. I hope this spot makes them finally consider putting this masterpiece on spotify. I think we deserve it after 7 years!!
Oh my god that section at the end is exceptional. I need Guy to do more work like this. This voice needs to be applied to the indie music scene. Abandon pop, Guy, come stay with us!
+Regan Markwick I'm getting the feeling a lot of Triple J listeners have no idea how varied Guy's musical skills are. Just because he makes pop songs doesn't mean he doesn't do other styles.
loadabollocks An occasional dalliance with jazz or rnb or a cover like this is fantastic, but I would love him to partner with someone like Mountains in the Sky or Pretty Lights or PVT or Gotye and put out a whole album of indie electro vocal goodness. His voice is perfect for that. But hey, you've got to do what you love.
I was referring to winners but the names you mentioned only found success after they re-invented themselves and Triple J gave them a shot. Guy Sebastian has managed to stay popular in commercial music while everyone else came and went. I won't hold my breath on that Bardot-Guy Sebastian collab though.
Sam Rogers thanks mate. you're a good bloke too:) i actually mean that in the best sense. apologies for the derogatory terms previously mentioned but with them eliminated i still stand by what i say. hey let us all be friends.
I've never intentionally listened to Guy Sebastian's music before, however I'm aware he can sing. But holy crap!! That kid has skills. I hate to say it but this is better than the original. It suits a male voice.
8 fucking years this song has lived in my head rent free. I was never a fan of Guy, but I'll be fucked if this isn't the greatest cover of any song I've ever heard. Also... why the fuck isn't this on spotify?????
88rowey yeah but she didn't win it and was never really promoted off the back of it, same with Matt Corby. Guy though was the first and arguably the most successful pop star to come out of Australian Idol
Agreed, I think people didn't like a guy with a fro winning, over the guy that reminded people of the barfly. That being said, don't know if you or any others remember World Idol (I forget it's actual name), but Guy Sebastian competed in a world title of the 'Idol' singing saga, and the dude didn't make top 3, although being amongst talented musos; he was easily top 3, if not the best singer there. And I'm not even being biased either. The title of the show should have been changed to Karaoke Idol, since the judges didn't want a singer with a unique voice; but wanted the singer to merely mirror the original songs, rather than make it their own. Honestly, was watching the show in disbelief like wtf is this dumb competition? Do they want robots or people? It's like listening to the studio version of 'Heartbeats' by 'The Knife', which is great as it ticks all the radio / studio head boxes, whilst the live version is absolutely breathtaking and powerful - it's like Michael Jordan's hangtime dunk where he flies from the free throw line and time goes slow whilst you're in awe like omgfckmeded. Do you wanna hear what the guys in the studio say is mickymouse, or the version the artistic expressive amazing musicians wanted to produce? Nothing wrong with karaoke, but Guy making a song his own is another level.
I've always really liked guys voice but a fair bit of his pop stuff just doesn't move me. However, this is just top shelf vocals. Those runs are so crisp and clear. Watch Guy's face and body, he inhabits that melody. Man. So, so good. His acoustic version of Battle Scars is off it's nut, too. Props to you, guy. I'm an old fella (55) and I listen to this a LOT.
People have always known he can sing and is talented, its just he sings absolute crap and shit. The first time he puts his voice into something good and everyone loves him. The dude can sing he just sings shit songs
Fuck hes Underrated, I hate that We have tall poppy syndrome and bashed him for so long.....why did he have to get a Sleeve of tattoos and a bit of swag for us to Realise that there's never been any one like him in Australian music before and never again will there be, his voice, his soul, his skill set, his marketing presence, his whole.....everything,,,, he is one of the best in the world like Australia lets REPRESENT !!!!!!!HE DESERVES IT
I swear that dude's voice is channeled straight outta the cosmos. I live for moments like these where Guy does spiritually uplifting tracks like these. There literally is no-one better. He is without question as a singer, right up there with Stevie imho. I fuckin' love it!!!
There are many references to how Guy should go indie/alternative, stop playing pop, do something edgier and JJJ might play it, etc. Only a few months ago, he released 'Candle' - possibly my favourite Guy song (beating 'Linger' by a whisker). It was something different for him to release as a single. He said he was 'just throwing it out there and see what happens'. Well, commercial radio pretty much ignored it, JJJ as usual ignored him. What's a guy to do?
I was like... Who's this dude that looks like Guy Sebastian, making some really good music? Then I read the title properly and realised it was Guy Sebastian. Dude needs to do more stuff like this.
Australian Homegrown talent - Loved this collaboration between Paces and Guy Sebastian. Great to see that Triple J is seeing the light about Guy Sebastian. It always seemed weird that he has not on their Australian content play list. His musicality and THAT VOICE are something that Aussies should be proud of!
I’ve listened to this song a bunch of times…. Just had it cranked with headphones on and still got goosebumps! Still think it’s one of the best like a versions ever
Guy Sebastian is the most underrated singer i swear His music might not be for everyone but he’s had global hits and his voice is both amazing and versatile Sigh he’s been going at this for so long I just want Coconut Love to be an official single
As well as an exceptional vocalist, Guy is an amazing musician and this arrangement is brilliant. He gives every performance all he has, bearing his heart and soul. Love the crazy runs and his commitment to this song. Love you Guy
This comment made me look up and watch the other 14 covers, NGL this one should have been in the top 3 EASY. There were some decent ones in the top 15 but in terms of just amazing raw talent Guy should have been 1 or 2 hands down.
I’ve never head of him before today and I honestly don’t know what I’ve been doing with my life without this and him in it 🤣 so so soooo underrated. This would still blow the radio scene right up 🤯
who would've thought an old fans like me will still be amazed to hear Guy gives this amazing performance, seriously though, for those who have been known him from the very beginning would've thought this is not surprising coming from a man with a billion talents, but hey, he never failed to put a new horizon of smiles for us. Will always admire your works Guy. xoxo. Respect from Indonesia :)
Being a huge supporter of Guy for many years , because he is amazing, musical, a voice sublime and a great person, personally I LOVE to see him doing this type of thing. many may not know his variety and ability as they only hear the 'singles' he has done many styles of his own and many covers of all types....anyway superb and a thrill to see him on JJJ !! @guysebastian

Watched this a billion times, never fails to blow my mind- what an incredible vocal performance
i forget about this, then every few years i remember and it consistently blows my mind.
Fuck there's a reason he's the only song contest winner around 15 years later.

Sam Rogers I know it hasnt been exactly 15 years, but you have Lisa Mitchell, Matt Corby, Owl eyes who have all had reasonable success.
I was referring to winners but the names you mentioned only found success after they re-invented themselves and Triple J gave them a shot.

Was never a fan either , but your right. Who else could pull that off live like that.
Kinda raised my eyebrow when I saw Guy Sebastian, Australian Idol on Triple J but man, talk about justifying your place. He just blew it away.
Wasn't Lisa Mitchell from Aus idol as well?

owl eyes as well( on aussie idol that is)
Vera Blue was on The Voice, Matt Corby Idol, Brooke (Owl Eyes) Idol, Lisa Mitchell Idol, those 4 are great, but Guy sounds the same every song.
Still listening to this in 2019. Best voice in Australia hands down.
This is a classic, I'll be listening until I die
Robert Cotterell 2020
Still listening in 2020. He's a ripper.
June 2020 still streaming it 🤙🏼
Another still loving it in 2020. Hey triple j, how about another one with Paces and Guy?
Proof that Shannon Noll was NOT robbed.
he never stood a chance guy is a genuinely great voice and amazing person
Tommy Parker agreed. My big black car (or whatever) doesn't even compare.

Hahahahahahahah this is gold
Keep in mind on world idol he was the only one who was praised by everyone of the judges
That voice ... Guy should be proclaimed a National Treasure. It's a privilege to listen.
This is one of the best like a versions I’ve ever heard. Guy Sebastian’s voice is out of this world

Doesn't get enough credit !for that performance ! Legendery
When is this song getting uploaded to Spotify?? Still waiting…..
I will never stop listening to this. Absolute perfection.
Possibly the best like a version yet......
Guy Sebastian fucking owns this track
it suits his warbling
Thank you Guy Sebastian for making the world immeasurably better with just one song.
How was this not in the top 100 like a versions???
Can believe people think that Guy couldn't sing, you don't get where he has without unbelievable pipes!
Finally people have realised how talented Guy actually is.
I know right
It wasn't hard to see that from the start when he was on Idol. :-/
HOT40K People didn't watch/don't remember back then, just read the comments...
Nah.hes still shit .thats an awful song sorry.
People have always known he can sing and is talented, its just he sings absolute crap and shit. The first time he puts his voice into something good and everyone loves him. The dude can sing he just sings shit songs
I haven't listened to this for over a year. It is still is the best thing that ever happened to my ears.
Just here to echo the Spotify call. What a legend
my favourite for the year

insane cover, props to both of you lads
GET NOLLSY ON! AND WE CAN VOTE ON WHO IS THE BEST!

Ft Guy Sebastian???? more like starring Guy Sebastian.
So true
It does say ft guy Sebastian
Man wanna see guy live since he came on the scene!!!
isn't that what featuring means?
Guy really competes with the world finest. Amazing talent and incredibly skilled.
How the funk is this "ft Guy Sebastian"? He owns this cover. Exceptional Aussie talent
Guy once again knocks it out of the park with anything he does creatively and vocally. Legend.
I swear that dude's voice is channeled straight outta the cosmos. I live for moments like these where Guy does spiritually uplifting tracks like these. There literally is no-one better. He is without question as a singer, right up there with Stevie imho. I fuckin' love it!!!

Best like a version for 2016 so far. Surely should make the end of year cd.
