Not at all surprised at how much emotional impact jjong gives this song, or at the way he keeps leveling the emotion up as the song proceeds, or at the haunting passion of the ending. There will never be anyone else like him.
This is why I love covers, because you can hear the same songs in million different shapes and shades. It is amazing how each person has their own way of interpreting a song, and Jonghyun way just killed it!
I keep coming back to this now that he's gone. I remember when I first heard this and I was so in love with him. If only time could be turned back. If only I could do something to change things right now, I would sacrifice myself in a heartbeat for him to be alive and happy. Not just because I miss him but because he is such an important person in society. He brought so many smiles to our faces and now that he's gone, those smiles are fading I miss you Jonghyun. You were such a blessing. I wish we could've kept you
Holy shit. I am so thankful a friend directed me to this video. Very cool to hear him sing in English. His vocal inflections and interpretations stun me silent. What a voice, a treasure. I smiled, I felt chills, and now come some tears. But that's OK. I need to let them out whenever they come for now. It's such an unspeakable wrong that people with J's level of talent can be in such dark pain inside, when to the world outside them they are radiant, joyful light. I love Jonghyun.
as a native english speaker, i thought he did a really good job. I don't see why people are criticizing his english. I would really like to see JB or even any american pop star sing in a language not their own AND convey as much emotion.
people in comment section actually saying jb is better with this song.i wonder they ever listen to him live.jonghyun can breath and still manage to sound better than jb's live performances!!
that is a thousand times more beautiful than official, i am in love with his voice, such a beautiful voice his english accent sounds so sweet, I love u baby ♥️
IT'S PERFECTION. Nothing to describe it but just PERFECTION. It's amazing. The way he interpret the song is just so freaking amazing. I love his voice so much ; - ;
Almost unbelievable, that's how good Jonghyun's rendition of this song is. After hearing/watching this I went and watched Bieber's video...it's shit next to Jonghyun's version. Not even close. Not in the same universe. It's very hard not to cry while and after watching this particular video. His voice, his passion, his inflection, the way he put his heart and soul into this song as he did every one he performed, and the way he does it while looking like a handsome angel...it's too much to take in while knowing he is gone. I know he was in agony at the end and it feels selfish to wish he had stayed so I could enjoy all the awesomeness yet to come, but I do wish that. But more than anything, I wish him happiness. I'm blubbering. It will have been three years this Friday.
this is the most amazing acoustic performance I have heard from an international artist. Jonghyun did amazing and tried his BEST at pronouncing English. AMAZING JOB my Bias!! SHINEE STAN HERE ! *Fighting* 😘😘
one of the things I love most about Jonghyun is his passion and how he is able to put his emotions in every song he performs, even when the song is in a language he's not used to. he truly is a great artist c:
When I heard for the first time I was shocked because I was accustomed to singing Justin, but after hearing her for the second time began to sing hardware Jong-hyun and discovered that singing Jong Hyun very cool and gave to the song more sense
I like JB and Jonghyun also, but I can say Jonghyun sings live is better than JB. In live performance JB sings and instrument is follow him, but Jonghyun sings follow the instrument. Let's think which one is the most difficult?
Back again for more. I think this is my favorite Jonghyun video. The raw passion and the beauty of his voice combined are a force of nature. Puts Justin to shame.
RIP jonhyun hope you rest well i love you so much and all youve done for us im sorry the dark thaoufghts swallowed you whole without giving you an escape... i love you.. bye oppa T.T
i hate how when a kpop idol appreciates another singer's song, some people immediately jump to compare them. I'm not a fan of jb but I respect that the fact that he's an artist like jjong. We can argue all day over who's "better" but in the end it's purely subjective. Personally, I think jjong did a really good job w/ this song considering the speed and how many of the words are difficult to pronounce to koreans.
Emre Özdemir popularity does not equal skill. Jonghyun is way better at singing this. And even if he wasn't, I'd still like him better than that douchebag Justin Bieber.
