Puddles Pity Party - Losing My Religion (R.E.M. Cover)

This week has been a wild ride. I tried and I stumbled. Sometimes it felt as if I was falling into a deep hole. I saw your hand and I grabbed it and we fell together. Then we were flying. Thank you.

Tim DeLaney played bass, drums, piano and did sound.
Andrew Woodman did pictures.
I played guitars.

Everyone that is criticizing Puddles Pity Party.  My husband and I drove 4 1/2 hours to see this man perform. And we would do it again in heartbeat!  I have never laughed so hard and enjoyed a show so much. After the show, he stayed so that everyone in the audience could have a photo taken with him. I was blown away by his kindness to his fans. This man preformed his ass off but still posed for photos, signed things and hugged everyone that came to see him. You who attack him have no idea the pressure that he was under on a live TV stage. You have no idea what it is like for an artist to put themselves out for public critique. Your fans love you Puddles Pity Party. We need laughter, wonder and kindness in this world. Maybe your next song should be a cover of Christina Perri's "I'm Only Human". Thank you  <3

Man, every song he sings, I actually hear the lyrics and I finally understand them like never before!

You didn't win the money, but you won the world. You're loved.

This dude coats every song with gold with that voice. It's strange, he doesn't need original songs at all, but his renditions of existing songs makes sense. He makes them better, but not for himself, no he makes the songs more believable themselves. He adds soul to songs that already should have had enough but didn't. Some of the deepest songs get even deeper with this guy singing them. The emotions felt are nuts. Thanks Puddles, you are an artist amongst sheep.

Who's criticizing this? You have no soul, ear for real music, or taste.

This is perfection.

[Znivekr]

Thousands of people have been introduced to you and are now life long fans, you are not enslaved to the Simon Cowell pop music hell pit and can now proceed making amazing videos and performing concerts without having to answer to anyone else. I think we all won with the events as they transpired this past week.

[Badkitty]

THIS is what YouTube should be for. For people with TALENT...to have a platform to showcase it and be seen and discovered.

[jorgeharrington]

You never give up! That's why your the best.

[roman]

You didn't lose a talent contest. You won the hearts of many.

[isidrodeleon]

This voice don't need any music. It's all a song need.

[FernandoLobo]

Ok, so this is my favourite version of the song ... over the original. What a voice, chills.

[Nobodyrpresident]

My mother played a lot of opera in our home in the 1960’s and this man sounds like he has had professional training. His voice control, his breathing, enunciation, his range, is impeccable

[agylub]

He pronounces lyrics better than any of the original artists giving a much more poetic interpretation. Brilliant artist.

[laurenvandenbroeck]

Puddles you have no idea what strength you have given me. There are people out there who don't understand your art, but that isn't your fault. As a fellow performer, I can say that we are our art. Please never stop. The rest of the world will catch up, but we need you to keep creating.

[clarenceyoung]

Let’s keep things simple. During my 71 years listening to the great like Tennessee Ernie Ford, and hundreds of great singers, this man moves me like no other.. Bravo. Encore. More. 🏆😎🇺🇸💖

When I first saw Puddles I wondered, "Why the clown suit?" His voice is so great, he doesn't need a gimmick. Then after multiple videos I realize he is so different. His voice is one of a kind, Once in a hundred years. He needs the Puddles mask to show people what he really is. They come to see a clown but find a genius that would have been overlooked otherwise..

[johnloy]

Love this mans voice!! Would love to hear him do “Everybody Hurts”

[theqgene]

I love how he just doesn’t cover the songs. He makes no attempt to emulate. Rewrites the song almost. Sounds like he actually wrote it.

[cheeseheadfiddle]

Regardless of anything else you might say, the dude is an amazing singer. Perfect pitch, deep emotion. He delivers a song with amazing power. He’s like frikkin Adele.

[grandrapids]

This singer is the very pinnacle of what man is capable of in the art of song.
