IT'S 2020 AND I'M STILL PLAYING THIS... THIS COVER IS DEFINITELY THE BEST COVER I EVER SEEN. FROM HIS NICE SOUL HARMONIZING WITH AN ACCENT VOICE TO THE WHOLE BAND, THE PIANO PLAYER IS ILL WITH THEM FINGERS, SHORTY ON THE DRUMS NASTY WITH THEM STICKS, SHE'S A BEAST. THE WHOLE VIOLIN SQUAD ON POINT, CAN'T FORGET THE GUITARIST NICE ASF.... TRUTHFULLY I PROLLY PLAY THIS COVER MORE THEN THE ORIGINAL. GREAT JOB SID. WE NEED MORE OF THIS...!!! #2020
Listen to his recent Telugu film songs They are super duper hits.In Pushpa movie and Ala Vaikuntapuram lo movie,his songs are Classy and Melodious. 🤩🤩🤩👌👌👌👌Do hear them.He has got more hits in Telugu 😍😍
This is one of the most well produced covers I've ever heard. Those strings are powerful. The piano is so good, you'd swear he produced the original track. The drums and electric guitar (and bass) are leveled perfectly. I swear whoever mixed this, knew what the f**k they were doing. Ive been coming back to this for a decade now. Every few years, when i remember about it, it is brand new to me, all over again. This recording is special. I might be a little bias too. MSJ Class of 2001!
You fucking killed this song man. The original of this song was on repeat for a period of trying times in my life, so I feel like I have a particularly special connection to this song. It'll always be Weeknd's song, but I think you honestly do it better, and that's a big deal. Keep doing your thing man.
Very chill. My favourite kind of male voice to listen to, actually. This gives it the kinda feeling that makes it imbued with SOUL. Plus, the music team and composers that arranged this really brought out the best in the voice.
Remember when this first dropped back in 2011. Played it all day everyday for a while. But I know I'm not only one who thinks Sid bodied this better than The Weeknd. There's no expiration date on such a talented artist or musician. Their were many different nationalities in this musical experience and it was great. Good job sid great vocals.
Jesus man, if only God had given me your voice... You are literally THE most talented singer I've ever heard in my life. And this has literally been my 4th comment.
goooood use of the violins I thought it was going to go all big band orchestrated last chorus but instead they gave their own melancholy to the song. Prroooooopppsss!
i ont like the original song, but i swear i could listen to this all day. the piano is such a powerful instrument. like when the piano's first couple chords were played, i was like ahh shyt, they bout to kill dhis. and sid u did just that. SOMEONE PLEASE SIGN THIS MAN, MATTER FACT THE WHOLE GROUP
I absolutely love love love LOVE your talents. I have been stuck watching almost all of your videos. I hope you go very very far. Your covers are better than some of the originals. YOU ARE BETTER THAN GREAT
Im speachless honestly, you give me goosebumps & I mean it. Make more covers please. You have the most amazing voice i will ever hear. The weeknd's my favorite too -xo
Practice, lots and lots of practice. Trying different vocal techniques. I started singing when I was like 11... It's easy to sing before your nuts drop and your voice deepens lmao.
I just read an article about this young man and I clicked on the first song that came up; from what I've read you don't need my accolades, by now you've gotten plenty. So, keep doing what you're doing. I have seen "greater miracles" than this one. You created your own success and recognition, with the talent that you were endowed with .
MAN CONGRATS ON THE NEW ALBUM SIDHARTH!!! I saw it on spotify and it threw me back to 2011 when I first saw this cover - still amazing. You've come so farrr wheweeeeeeewww
The only cover I've heard that challenges the original.... in my opinion this rendition, the arrangement, vocals.... this shit is ridiculous! It's actually better....
Dude taht Somo guy is so overrated. he sings everything in the same key. His range is like one octave lol I don't get how he's so popualr. I think it's because his overall production game is tight. But i don't know if he makes the actual beats on his covers or not.
Amazing cover of an amazing song. The Weeknd is awesome already. I don't know what I am more impressed with. The fact you choose to cover the Weeknd or how well you sang it. Much respect on both.
Dude you got an incredible voice. It's actually good to see people singing without the help of any program or whatever. Props to you.
IT'S 2020 AND I'M STILL PLAYING THIS... THIS COVER IS DEFINITELY THE BEST COVER I EVER SEEN. FROM HIS NICE SOUL HARMONIZING WITH AN ACCENT VOICE TO THE WHOLE BAND, THE PIANO PLAYER IS ILL WITH THEM FINGERS, SHORTY ON THE DRUMS NASTY WITH THEM STICKS, SHE'S A BEAST. THE WHOLE VIOLIN SQUAD ON POINT, CAN'T FORGET THE GUITARIST NICE ASF....
TRUTHFULLY I PROLLY PLAY THIS COVER MORE THEN THE ORIGINAL.
GREAT JOB SID. WE NEED MORE OF THIS...!!! #2020

Back when The Weeknd was called The Noise :)
Never knew my favorite south Indian singer covered a song of one of my favorite artists.
His voice is to die for.. My fav is his thalli pogathey (Tamil song)..
Listen to his recent Telugu film songs They are super duper hits.In Pushpa movie and Ala Vaikuntapuram lo movie,his songs are Classy and Melodious. 🤩🤩🤩👌👌👌👌Do hear them.He has got more hits in Telugu 😍😍
Nav was wrong..... this definitely the first brown boy to get it poppin. Great cover

Much love
Hey Jess.. you got some eye. Update: he's smashing it in the Indian music industry..working with the top music directors
Very chill. My favourite kind of male voice to listen to, actually. This gives it the kinda feeling that makes it imbued with SOUL. Plus, the music team and composers that arranged this really brought out the best in the voice.
Best version of this song still to this day!
😂
Amazing cover, love the passion. I remember when I used to listen to this cover on replay when it first came out. great job.
Remember when this first dropped back in 2011. Played it all day everyday for a while. But I know I'm not only one who thinks Sid bodied this better than The Weeknd. There's no expiration date on such a talented artist or musician. Their were many different nationalities in this musical experience and it was great. Good job sid great vocals.
Been listening to this same song since it dropped in '11 . Definitely a great artist.
Saw The Weeknd last night and I must say I'm getting the same level of goosebumps I got watching this performed live through listening to this cover
Jesus man, if only God had given me your voice... You are literally THE most talented singer I've ever heard in my life. And this has literally been my 4th comment.
Sid Sriram bro, 4 years ago you put me on this weeknd joint; still sounds soul amazing ;]
50 dislikes? I guess 50 people don't know what real music sounds like. So talented.
Unnoda amma punda
Those OG instruments! no computer productions just raw sound in the booth
My dad showed me this 6 year’s ago and introduced me to You and The Weeknd. Been a fan since then. Thank you for this beautiful cover

i ont like the original song, but i swear i could listen to this all day. the piano is such a powerful instrument. like when the piano's first couple chords were played, i was like ahh shyt, they bout to kill dhis. and sid u did just that. SOMEONE PLEASE SIGN THIS MAN, MATTER FACT THE WHOLE GROUP

Awesome...a great group of musicians as well! I'd pay to see that live.
2021 ♥️

Nice use of yeezy's Dark Fantasy at 3:19
awesome voice control and the pianist was great to!
Xo❤️
You are amazing. Your voice is super dope and ur music is great. You are better than most artist on the radio
Abel can sing but my dude you got as much talent as him and if anything you have more . Keep going .
This guy is good but he's nowhere near The Weeknd's level.
@Original Protestant Bruh
Very very well done. I like the jazzy vibe and the respect you showed.
Way better than Somo actually
Dude taht Somo guy is so overrated. he sings everything in the same key. His range is like one octave lol I don't get how he's so popualr. I think it's because his overall production game is tight. But i don't know if he makes the actual beats on his covers or not.
Cooking with j. Philly
Amazing cover of an amazing song. The Weeknd is awesome already. I don't know what I am more impressed with. The fact you choose to cover the Weeknd or how well you sang it. Much respect on both.
