      Mike, i never thoght that someone can sing like Tom York, feel like him, but now i hear and see, you are very close to him, in your covers, because you feel Tom's soul and his feelings. Tank you very much for your great work , your soul in all this songs , you are such great as Tom. With love from Russia. Be helthy

    What I find really remarkable about these performances is that despite the fact that they are almost note-perfect reproductions of the original songs, often down to small nuances of tone and phrasing. they nevertheless feel 100% original, fresh, and heartfelt. I think this is because they invest themselves so fully in the performance and in the emotions of the songs; their version becomes just as true as the original.

I've been watching your stuff for nearly an hour now - the band I'm in used to do this song when we were a covers outfit, but your version totally blew me away.

      @@transmorpher i actually dont think he is imitating much. He does have his own voice, he just chooses to do majority covers of artists who have a similar range. He sings alot less "airy" then most of the singers he covers. Operatic in a sense. However, he definitely did imitate David Bowie in his cover of space oddity in parts, like the begining. But i kinda liked that myself lol.

      Mike, I knew I liked you for a reason. I consider Tori, outside of Pink Floyd, to be the "deepest" and most incredible writer of lyrics that move me emotionally, period... with exception of this song by Radiohead. These lines never fail to smack me right in the feelings when I hear them (and now you) play it:
      _He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties,_
      _But gravity always wins... and it wears him out, it wears him out_
      _And I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling,_
      _If I just turn and run... and it wears me out, it wears me out,_
      _...but if I could be who you wanted, if I could be who you wanted_
      _all the time...all the time..._
      Covering this song that well is impossible. I've never heard anyone come close to not only hitting the notes, but infusing them with the emotions that Thom Yorke manages to... you, sir, are a miracle worker.
