As a 30 year working musician, this is one of the most powerful covers that I have ever heard. Every opinion matters, but any person giving this a thumbs down has no appreciation of what music is.

A great singer an guitar player. The people of the dislike are jealous and can't do anything themselves.

Phenomenal artist, and thank God he is playing a Taylor that does justice to his talent.

Rock & Roll is supposed to be all about the imperfections and how much we practice to master our instruments. Pro tools editing and auto tune is for Drake and Pop music! Which is fine :) Just don't belong in ROCK! ;)

This was in my "suggested" videos. Honestly, I scrolled passed it several times, but just because I'm not a huge fan of Tiny Dancer. Before anyone calls me names (haha), I've been a full-time Karaoke Jockey for the past 12+ years.. I can't deny my dislike for the song comes solely from how many countless nights I've heard it butchered in every possible way.. I'm so grateful I chose to give this video a listen!!

Hello There Todd, I by no stretch of the imagination claim to be a "NOLAN NEAL", I think of myself, As a VERY UNSUCCESSFUL, SINGER/SONGWRITER, I write my own songs, And i have posted the ones that i am currently most proud of on my channel, However in order to get any sort of views i have to cover songs, Currently on my channel i have approx 46 songs, Most of which are covers, Ranging from ELTON JOHN, BON JOVI, CROWDED HOUSE,BREAD... JAMES BAY to LEWSI CAPALDI, To name but a few, That's the way the world works i understand this, So if you could spare some time to have a listen to my channel and possibly pass on some comments, That Would Be Great, Oh and one of my covers is "TINY DANCER", Most of my stuff is Acoustic, Either guitar vocal or piano vocal, So what you hear is how it is, KEEPING IT HONEST, If you have read this far, SORRY FOR WAFFLING, STAY FRIENDLY : 0 )
