The Weeknd - The Hills (Brandon Skeie Cover)

[@Ceel00yy]

Actual singing starts at 0:51

[@nikumarunikumaru4327]

lol, more like cut the crap.

[@laurawright2536]

3:22 . . . omg . . my heart drops. . . this guy is amazing. I fucking am obsessed with this cover. . . You're absolutely stunning and such an amazing talent!!!!!!!!

[@kimberlygarza4294]

you killed it during the "Hills have eyes..." this is amazing. i will be replaying this fer sure

[@gatorgirl1720]

This is NOT auto tune. There's a difference between editing and adding reverb which makes it sound like this. None the less this is amazing! Why do people criticize the editing when youtubers use the same tools as mainstream artists? That basically makes you a hypocrite.

[@ViciousAudioTX]

thank god there's someone on here that knows anything about audio.

[@Radical_edweird]

+Jeff Green I promise you he used some kind of tuning.

[@ViciousAudioTX]

+edward selph pretty sure he didn't...

[@MusicInMedia1]

definitely auto tune. Although there's a shit load of effects on his voice here

[@MrQuality89]

+Roz G being a major in Audio Engineering. it's only EQ, Compression, Reverb and delay :)

[@itsyaboytee2105]

as a producer acctually it is not autotune it is delay. compression reverb and monster voice autotune for the low voice but the main voice is not autotuned

[@DesireeRodriguez51]

This cover got me through some really tough times and I will forever come back to it thank you, you're amazing

[@keithred0210]

This was possibly the best cover of a song Ive ever heard omg this was just the perfect everything! Keep doing what your doing and your gonna grow so much

[@kaylawhelly6649]

The transformation from when you're talking to when you start to song is just absolutely amazing! I can tell you get so into the music you're singing! Such a great cover!

[@daisyj9501]

This gives me chills , great cover omg

[@tomaelhindi6705]

"hills have eyes, the hills have eyes..." absolute perfection 👌🖤

[@JacquiFricke]

Brah, I was literally like your first subscriber/listener. My KZbin days have dwindled but I am still listening to your songs. You're amazing.

[@brandon]

sizzleshine omg that is amazing! Thanks for continuing to support me!!!!

[@JacquiFricke]

Brandon Skeie Absofrickinlutely my dear :)

[@prodigaltone]

Anyone who has claimed this for having autotune either has no idea what autotune really is, or has no brain cells. There is a huge difference between reverb and autotune.

[@brandon]

Thank you! 🙌🏻

[@psycho_bob_son2146]

+ArbyJSS117 It’s not autotune. It's reverb. Auto-Tune uses a phase vocoder to fit the pitch in vocal and instrumental performances not voices. It is used to disguise off-key inaccuracies and mistakes and as you can see he hasn't made one mistake it allows people to sing in tune he uses reverb which simulates the component of sound. Reverb makes an echo like effect. auto tune gives voices a fake robotic effect like Lil Wayne’s hit “Lollipop” is a perfect example of auto tune and also slim Jesus drill time and buck buck. Reverb is much nicer as it makes it sound like a performance done in a large concert auditorium. You need to know the difference before assuming +Brandon Skeie uses that.

[@KubraKares]

+Marilyn Evans never heard of reverb, thank you for the explanation :)

[@RobertMatlock]

+SixthteenLetters It's melodyne you ignorant children lol

[@tamarapopovic6638]

Marilyn Evans finally someone explain it,why people always say it's auto tune on every single cover on youtube...

[@juicebox9330]

It’s been like 6 years but I still demand this be put on Spotify

[@zachcoffell8808]

You started singing and my jaw dropped so far that I had to pick it up off the floor. Your voice is absolutely gorgeous. I love the reverb that you used. It not only suits the song but your voice as well. Very well done. Keep these The Weend covers coming.

[@iitsjustque]

I don't give no fuck how much auto tune their is! he sounds fucking sexy and amazing. And you can't complain cause the Weeknd used auto tune as well. :p

[@MySimplexity]

Nope. It's actually just chorus and reverb.

[@chronicreaper]

+queque10101 but you,don't deny being a Mutt, who cares if he uses Autotune or not, music is about individuality and capturing the audience, not how you record or who you record your music with.

[@iitsjustque]

+Hunter Chronica ight..goodbye.

[@chronicreaper]

+queque10101 peace lol

[@darriangillespie9637]

hahahahah lol

[@KBust]

Very unique voice, thumbs up! I didn't know this song until now :)

[@raeganstrother9313]

This was hot

[@taylortanner8082]

I love how your entire countenance changes once the music starts. You seem so sweet and genuine - a personality rivaled only by your voice. Amazing!

[@TheZazatv]

Seth Joseph

[@a.salvatore_6604]

I love it!! This cover should be on Apple Music and Spotify 😍❤️

[@zoephillips6289]

You should be on the next season of the voice

[@zoephillips6289]

And am I the only one who noticed the fluffy cat in the mirror on the bed

[@laurastromer1485]

Wtf!!!wow it' s Wonderfull! This voice is very great. Thanks. i love it

[@caitfurnox]

I see so many people complaining about the auto tune or reverb, and that he should use his "raw voice". Seriously. Who cares? Whether it's his real voice or not, it's an amazing cover to listen to. Half - most of the artist you hear on the radio use some sort of auto tune. It's a good cover. If you don't like it then of course you can have your opinion but don't bash people for their choice of how they want to produce their music. It's a good cover. Keep it up man! X

[@timtheisen9250]

Such a cute crooked smile! Never change it! Beautiful rendition of this song!

[@Ashhz2cr]

somehow you make every song 10 times better???????

[@brandon]

ashley kassis Thanks Ashley!

[@Ashhz2cr]

Brandon Skeie holy shit you replied, no problem:)))))

[@mateusoliveira8256]

Ohhh my Gosh, this is really interesting and so good!

Wow Perfect ^^

[@brandon]

Edona Osmanaj Thank you love!

[@blizzconquer1109]

[@__haruka__]

Fuck that better than original

[@Максим-ПавлоРедько]

Це мазафака

[@skylark6923]

That....was.....absolutely amazing! Great job! 👏👏😝

[@Music-hw2vc]

"I don't know if you've heard this song" because nobody's ever heard of The Weeknd.

[@brandon]

I released this song before it was all over the radio

[@Msfriendfilms1]

I actually love the weeknd

[@darkd1785]

+Brandon Skeie auto tune

[@AnnKingTawasGirl93]

+Dondu Guler Look, I think it took real courage to even get up and do what he does here. Do you ever put yourself out there trying to get noticed for something that you can do? Before bashing someone, you need to ask yourself how would you feel is some moron like yourself were to make the same rude comments to you.

[@AnnKingTawasGirl93]

You really should do something about your potty mouth

[@niuniusun4373]

The hills is my favourite song and now ur version is my new favourite !! Brandon ❤️❤️ love you so so so much xx

[@mikadocious]

Ooooooh, yes!!!

[@brandon]

mikadocious ;D

[@Lilabee]

This is my favorite cover of this song! keep it up man!

[@paolasoto5046]

Can u cover Refelction by 5h with Mahogany please? Thank you :)

[@earldwight838]

YOU GOT IT!! i really like your cover IDOL perfect !thumbs over my head LOL

[@misteshious]

Wtf! How did he turn from goofy to daddy as soon as he started singing ?

[@kaliann8044]

THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING!

[@BadrHabadi]

FUCK WEEKND YOU ARE REALLY GOOD

[@mahaelan.8437]

is it bad i watch this over and over and over for the fact that i am in love with this cover

[@metiigo1615]

After a year without watching this i still have the same opinion about this, better than The Weekend.

[@zuurilla]

Moniquea Lime Well I wouldn't say that much, but this cover is great

[@michadmowski6163]

Moniquea Lime No and The Weeknd *

[@metiigo1615]

Michał Dmowski Just stating my opinion.

[@VitorSantos-td5wz]

Schetsx NO kkkk

[@aleelee97]

GOD ALL YOUR COVERS ARE LIT!!!!!

[@pittyandrade6517]

Q voz sexy😍😍😍🎶🎼❤❤

[@ralfnawason9069]

Nothing

[@FilthyTomcat]

auto tune makes the song, plus he has a good ass voice which just makes it way better. the original is all autotuned because if you ever seen the weeknd live you will learn that he CANT sing.

[@brandon]

Ralf Nawason There is actually very low amounts of autotune on this. Learn audio production then you can criticize :D

[@ralfnawason9069]

+Brandon Skeie i dont care just dont put it we just want to know what your voice sounds without autotune ok.

[@brandon]

+Ralf Nawason then watch one of my 15 live covers. It sounds basically the same

[@ralfnawason9069]

Brandon Skeie ok :D

[@KinkyLibrarian10]

Love this!!! You're really great!

[@annamagdziarz5301]

better than original :3

[@rezajouhair631]

Anna Magdziarz no no no hell no this is beautiful but no ones better than abel

[@Cynthia-zn7xb]

This should be on iTunes tbh. I love this cover BEST cover of this song!❤️

[@brandon]

Cynthia Caylen Thanks! The download is free below on the soundcloud link!

[@eidieleshka]

this is so much better than the original song by the weeknd

[@TheSnazzySpider]

I know right!

[@devinjames3917]

Auto tune AF 😂😂😂😂

[@janessaortiz16]

It suppose to sound like that genius

[@devinjames3917]

Janessa Ortiz nah fam

[@lovelessthan3]

You mad?

[@juliatihanyi572]

Devin James WHO CARES?

[@Jordan-yv9mr]

Listen to the original sound fx dumbass

[@xmarni_4214]

This is my favourite song and u make it 100% better

[@MrShepsPR2]

Too. much auto tune dude

[@MySimplexity]

No. It's a reverb and a chorus.

[@MrShepsPR2]

+Noble Val (Vaale) yes. you have automatically tuned it thus resulting in a horrendous outcome. stick to Au natural.

[@MySimplexity]

its a CHORUS and a REVERB

[@MrShepsPR2]

+Noble Val (Vaale) but isn't a chorus a part of the song and a reverb changes your voice. so it isn't natural. so you have automatically changed your voice or tuned it one could day. auto tuned yes that's about right

[@MrShepsPR2]

+Phil Shepherd could say even

[@roscomcfarland204]

Damn😨😧😮😦 good lord man! That's incredible! I'd give a mil to be able to sing that good bro! Bravo, NAILED IT🙌🏻👍🏻👌🏻

[@axelle32]

Dude waaaay to much reverb here. It's a shame. It's not a club, if people are choosing to check out KZbin covers, it's usually not so it can sound like a robot is singing it. I think you sound like you have a great voice, but the insane amount of reverb shows a little bit of a lack of taste. Be raw, drop the auto-tune-sounding reverb man. Go back to basics ;) Other than that, great voice! So no need to overcompensate with bad computerised reverb. :)
