He did all of this and played the guitar. What a legend

[@kentamplin]

Rana Mathew absolutely!

[@italianplastick4031]

Yessssss💜

[@emc7110]

His guitar playing is so underrated because his voice overshadowed it

[@sofianoiti]

Jeff Buckley is a sacred monster, his voice is one in a billion. As a huge Jeff Buckley fan, and as a singer myself, this song is really scary. I find your work technically great! The flow legato, the passagios, the balance, the power, the range, the sound are awesome! The song itself is an elegy, it is written for not fearing death. What mostly I wanted to hear is this wild, deep, true, creepy emotion, thing it's impossible for anybody to express but Buckley himself. He is untouchable. I think "Grace" is out of this world....it can destroy any singer! It's a project itself. This young lady is brave! 4:49 is completely awesome! Great job!!

[@MaTeTris]

Sofia Noiti I agree. Great technical work. Buckley renders it without artifice though. The part she does at about 3.25, to me is one of the most impressive things I've ever heard someone sing (when it's Jeff singing, of course). This part here is...well...technically great. That's the thing about Jeff Buckley, anything that he sang compared to someone else's rendition is artifice-free, so authentic...Everybody pales in comparison, they all sound artificial at some point. Anyway, great rendition, for sure. I love the way she sings the part at 3.40-3.51, nice "touch".

[@corimacnaughton8110]

I have to agree - she mostly (though not 100%) hits the notes, but to me she doesn't seem to really "get" the song, and Buckley's raw emotion is, quite simply, utterly lacking. It's sort of like when my dad was pointing out the differences between Linda Ronstadt's first album of standards, and Toni Tenille's, which came out about the same time. While Ronstadt's takes were technically excellent, they were lacking emotionally. Conversely, Toni Tenille's dad was a jazz singer, and she not only grew up with the songs, but understood them on a visceral level. So her renditions, also technically damned near perfect, were also far more emotionally engaging. When I listened to the albums back to back, I had to agree with my dad's assessment - Tenille's renditions were far superior to Ronstadt's, for sheer emotional breadth. The same is true in this case.

[@pdxorbust27]

Sofia Noiti “ sacred monster” well put. i swear, no one seems to get just how creepy and dark this song is, and is supposed to be sung. i think she hits the darkness from the beginning, then makes the last part her own thing. which was the point of this video. Gabby’s voice is amazing and i hate her😉💗

[@geirbirkeland1573]

Sofia! I totally agree, with you. But, the singer here is extremely good. For me it`s like covering Chris Isaak - Wicked Game kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3WWf59nfL-tq9k, Elisabeth Frasers - Song To The Siren kzbin.info/www/bejne/eImrqGCCrsqcjMU or Going Going Gone by Robin Holcomb kzbin.info/www/bejne/d32wY4Z_ZayNoJo, you just can´t improve something, that is perfect!

[@charlesbernard2753]

She's good, but doesn't feel the song or the music at all. More obsessed by her looks, performance, and ridiculous Céline Dion hand choreography... Disgrace

[@squeedum4893]

Jeff Buckley is sacred ground especially with regard to his singing. This just highlights how special his talent was. Gabriela crushed it. Much respect for honoring the original rendition while still venturing out to make it her own.

[@kentamplin]

Glad you liked it, Honrado!

[@GosnJaksic]

I love the cover, it's really good; but it just got me thinking what a great job Jeff actually did now that I heard a very good singer sing Grace. His damn voice was a treasure, really.

[@ilariadalpasso7245]

art channel_ deebeedus Jeff was unique.A Diamond.

[@aereoelvis]

For the reason you mentioned was your hesitance to record this video, I too did not want to watch this video, reverence to perfection. I frankly did not think anyone would have the nerve to cover this song. Ms. Guncikova, you brought me to tears. I've never heard this song or watched his performance without crying desperate tears. Congratulations. You were fearless and thank you.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for your comment, aeroelvis! Gabriela does justice to this great song.

[@fern5580]

I'm such a huge Buckley fan that I once went through a 2 month phase of listening nothing but Buckley. so when I hear a cover is really hard for me to really be moved cause I immediately compare it to the original. I gotta say. I watched this video at least 4 times before commenting. That was fantastic. Oh and chills? YES!

[@kentamplin]

+Fern Palacios That's awesome Fern, thanks for sharing.

[@anthonyriviello4509]

+Fern Palacios Does that happen to everyone? I'm still in mine and its been 4 months....

[@jameslabove129]

It takes a rare talent to stand toe-to-toe with the spirit of Jeff Buckley, and Gabriela pulled it off. My favorite Buckley cover, and honestly the only one I have any time for. Incredible job!

[@josekempsotomayor9048]

James, please go and visit Jaron Natoli's covers. If someone on earth can sing like Jeff, that's Jaron. Thanks me later.

[@ManCub583]

This just floors me every time I hear it! Listened quite a few times now and is more impressive every time. Congratulations Gabby and Ken! A masterpiece!

+Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I LOVE LOVE LOVE this girl !!! man !!! she KILLED this song !!!! goose bumps and LOTS of emotion !!! she KILLED it !!!

[@simongustafsson9814]

hey ken ! :) is your vocal program good for developing clear strong vocals with great range or are your program only for rock singers who want alot of distortion? my biggest influence is Jeff buckley and your program looks great but I'm a begginer to this vocal training stuff and I'm just making sure I'm not going to end up with another result than what I'm looking for, I hope you see this :)

[@simongustafsson9814]

i forgot to say brendon urie is also a big influence on me so that's kind of what I'm going for

[@kentamplin]

My vocal program emphasizes great singing.. In fact I encourage people to sing without distortion to get a great clean sound first before using it distorted sound. I love Buckley too, You should check out my vocal demonstration with my student Gabriella Guncikova as we did the song Grace which you might appreciate. It's on the KZbin channel. Great singing to you.

[@simongustafsson9814]

Thank you so much :) didn't mean to sound rude when I said I didn't want distortion btw

[@letmehighaf1553]

She is an angel... Breathtaking!

[@dantebassz]

As a profound Jeff Buckley fan, I am delighted by this incredible interpretation, you reincarnated this masterpiece. Way to go, Gabriela and Ken, greatest surprise of the day :D (I'd love to hear you singing this, Ken)

[@benmcnamara3938]

Who the hell gave 76 thumb downs to that? Best cover I've ever heard

[@alihazar85]

someone should work on "how to sing like Gabriela Gunčíková"

[@nevaklemenc1997]

You should ask Ken! :-) But Gabriela is a big talent, beautiful voice colour and already great singer. I think her Grace is very good, but there is not enough darkens in female voice. And it is difficult to be Jeff. Because his soul is creating the song while he is singing, while he is touching the deepest fear and maybe even the wish. This could never be replicated. But Gabriela and Ken did a wonderful job, if this version was the first I heard, I would be speechless, which is almost impossible. Bravo Gabriela, bravo Ken!

[@markredford84]

I think she got better after this with ken's teachings...this sounds amazing but I noticed she has better compression/distortion which I think this song could have benefitted from in other songs and live performances since. She is amazing though but I think Ken taught her the key to compression since I've seen her use it a lot more recently

[@trinstar1656]

Bravo! I have never heard anyone try to sing this song. She did great.

[@sandarvabhatta7925]

Wow!!!! Out of this world. The only cover online that comes close to doing him justice.

[@kentamplin]

Gabriela does a wonderful cover of this great tune. 😊

[@gmoney1065]

It's been 8 years and I still come back to this video often to watch this masterful performance.

[@jeffmwoods]

yeah me too...blows my mind every time.

[@yaire8648]

Came here through your Jeff Buckley review. Gabriella is a great singer. First thoughts is that she sung very neat. It felt like she sang the notes but not the emotion. Maybe only good not to feel so intense like Jeff, that would be so hard on yourself. But from 4:25 she really gave herself. Soul ripping... Thanks Gaby and Ken keep up the good work.

[@ryanmuddiman8224]

Couldn't agree more. She forgot to think, which is what we have to do in order to be genuine. Up until that point in the song she exhibited great technical skill but lacked the purity and passion of what it means to be a "naked," genuine singer/artist/musician. Like Ken said in his review/critique of Grace: (paraphrasing, here) with Jeff, it's all about the passion. You just can't fake passion.

[@alistair_maldacena]

This is absolutely phenomenal.

[@annach9974]

Gabriela - FANTASTIC performance.

[@jamesmoore9223]

Back for another listen. im addicted to this. best female voice ive heard in years.

[@Godessa9shrek]

As one of the die-hard JB fans in the world, kudos to this woman...it's the first time I've heard someone do a cover of this song that doesn't sound completely slaughtered. Very nice.

[@josekempsotomayor9048]

Bro, please go and visit Jaron Natoli's covers, I'm sure you'll be delight

[@mithrilg2286]

"My fading voice sings of love" almost had me crying at the emotion in her voice. Simply beautiful.

[@kentamplin]

Gabriela did an amazing job on this one!

[@pfez80]

Absolutely brilliant! What a stunning rendition and truly a worthy performance; I am addicted to this cover & keep coming back for more!

[@peterwhite9312]

This woman is an amazing singer!!

[@kentamplin]

Rock on!

[@missadventuresmotorcycledi2773]

Back again as I would like to say Gabby's voice has the authenticity and fabulous range to take on this song and make it her own. She really nailed it, I will look out for her work. Now it has made me want to up my game and take your course. Well done Gabby!! You Rock.

[@Velociferon]

I fell in love with Grace when I heard it on the radio a long time ago. I looked for covers and found few and dissapointing ones. Miss, you nailed it amazingly!

[@dclpluswheez]

SOOOOO amazing. My goodness, Gabby is amazing. Nailed it! All hail the female rocker.

[@Cascadeh]

I don't know what to say. This left me speechless in the best possible way.

[@noelkeane9793]

Absolutely beautiful version

[@baribalcerny3518]

The monumental piece .... best vocal performance.

[@liermam]

I'm a huge Jeff Buckley junkie. I've seen just about every grace cover there is here on youtube. I was picking through again tonight and I'm absolutely blown away by this new addition. Holy fuck. Grace is such an incredible piece by Jeff, really captures power and presence unlike any other male vocalist. Every time I hear the original I think "I can't believe a mortal man did this". In a lot of ways, I feel it's harder for females to cover without a pretty significant reinterpretation. The backing track was not as lingering and ominous as I would have liked, and I feel lead to a little bit of rushed cues towards the end. The mic could also use some minor adjustments. But otherwise, this is undeniably the best rendition of Grace I've heard yet from anyone other than Jeff. Head and shoulders above any other female. Bravo Gabriela. You fucking shred.

[@sambrittany4ever]

Totally agree. Everything was pretty perfect except the backing track. It almost seemed to light and airy (at least to me). If it had a darker backing it would be even better.

[@kentamplin]

+liermam yeah I know, usually I make my own backing tracks but in this case just had to find the best one we can find, in addition I pitched it up a full step which takes away from "heaviness" of the sound. We figured it was a lot better than not doing the track altogether. :-)

[@sambrittany4ever]

Still the best cover I've ever seen. :)

[@msheetz6]

Absolutely amazing. I have watched this 5 times in the past two days. Mind blowing. Just felt and saw the emotion come out.

[@lucaschacon8362]

I love how she looks almost tired at the end of the song. Awesome version 👏

[@kentamplin]

This was an incredible performance!

[@edwinjahnes2739]

Wow- amazing- there isn't anything that you can't sing - Blown Away !!! Gabbi you are going to have one hell of a career !! I can see it coming !!

[@henrikibsen6258]

When it changes to that bm (I think) at "I believe my time has come." That modulation is beauty beyond belief to me.

[@kentamplin]

😀

[@stefany826]

Gabriella does some unbelievable covers ! Takes me way back and what a tribute to these artists who left us too soon ! Jeff Buckley … missing you on this side

[@martinlundsgaard9810]

Well done.. nailing it within her range...not the vocal range and passion of jeff but then again who has.

[@thepipochipolatti]

The vocal capacity of this woman is incredible. The clear difference between Buckley's Grace and any version I've heard is that true connection to death. Jeff Buckley is a wolf howling at the moon. I think she really connects with the song from the middle and explode at the end. Excellent level!

[@Weloz92]

Man, the Buckley family... such powerful and haunting music! Gabriela is amazing as always! Great job!

[@annettelavastida3907]

Wow! I didn't expect that.... I've never liked anyone singing Jeff Buckley (they just destroy his songs)... but this girl surprised me... Bravo!

[@kentamplin]

Surprise! :)

[@francograneros4943]

She sing amazing . But It's a woman, high notes are easier for her . Jeff Buckley is a legend ; the fence is very high .

[@rafaelsantosx]

Franquito graneros it's not that easy, she was kind of exausted at the end. And being a woman doesn't mean you can hit high notes easily. (Nearly impossible for contralto)

[@guykoplowich4068]

@@francograneros4943 its a tone higher then jeff buckley

[@BryanScott21]

Yeah I got goosebumps too! Man this was awesome Gabby!!! Great job! I like her rendition, just as much as the original... Thanks Ken and Gabby! God Bless!!!

[@LoneWolfRehab]

I've been back a few times and whenever i hear this version i have to go back and listen to the original, its that good.

[@carahoglund5266]

Really well covered! WIth Jeff's work ,it is so key to find your voice and inspiration in his work and produce your own flavor of his beauty. Well done on all counts.

[@yougotgroove]

Great job! It just really proves how beautifully Jeff improvised almost in a classical orchestrated setting, I would have loved Jeff performing this with a full orchestra....

[@DmitrySevereign]

Amazingly, I admire you Gabriela. Thank you very much for your singing.

[@symphonyinkart]

I got goosebumps from her voice lol. The open She’s bloody good.

[@kentamplin]

Glad you think so, Tiff!

[@theboazanema]

the way you admitted about not claiming to be as cool as Jeff gets my respect. He is super tough and Gabby nailed this version here. She has a powerful voice! glad I stumbled on this. Huge fan of jeff and I think I might search some more of your vids to help with my own vocal ability. Cheers Ken!

[@kentamplin]

Boaz, I'm glad you found my channel! There are tons of tutorials and great singing information! Stick around and see what you might like here!

[@theboazanema]

Cheers! I've always enjoyed singing and now that I have finished uni and want to work on being a full time musician I need to focus on not damaging my voice. I've worked with a few vocal teachers before but I've always been bad with practicing any musical instrument. Trying to change that habit, hahaha. I've found guitar tutorials on youtube quite good for self development, So I'm going to check your videos out and figure out a practice/ damage prevention routine so I can work towards singing my favourite Buckley tracks with out developing nodes! if you have any particular videos of your that focus on keeping a healthy voice I would love to have a look!

[@theboazanema]

Also, Subscribed cause you took the time to comment back, and quickly too! haha

[@Consolous]

Omg beautiful, simply marvelous! I love and admire Jeff Buckley so much, he is indeed untouchable but you, Gabriela, are incredible yourself. I felt true emotion coming, not only technicality, I felt it in my heart just like I do with Jeff. Truly amazing I am speechless.

Awesome job Gabriela! I actually discovered Ken's youtube channel yesterday by his reaction to Jeff's Grace and well...i subscribed 20 seconds later. Such a pro, has a positive and lovely energy. Now on a journey from 20 years of chain smoking to try singing that song while giving it some kind of justice, or die trying, excuse the hyperbole. Cheers man keep the love.

[@Problembeing]

Back again. Love the control, power and poise. In one take, who can argue that this is one of the best, if not the best cover of this song.

[@OldmanNix]

I've listened to the original more than i would like to admit. this girl is amazing, it's not close to Jeff's take, though quite possibly the closest anyone will come. mainly, she's too articulate and the difference in the technical range of the stretched parts. enjoyed it thoroughly, thank you both for this upload.

[@seancurry3782]

You are as beautiful as your voice. It is impossible for me to find the words to explain the emotions and feelings that Jeff Buckeys voice does to me. Playing my guitar is the only way to express those emotions and feelings. Ive watched a few of your singing utube videos. And the few i have seen have done the same thing his voice has done for me. Thank u so much for inspiring my musical abilities.

[@JackSteel1965]

Goosebumps on top of goosebumps Gabby is amazing

[@nevaklemenc1997]

The more I listen to her version, the more I hear how good she is. I was somehow destructed by original, because author was kind of self-destructive and while I was listening the original I felt his personal inner struggle. It touched me differently and the whole song sounded differently. But now I can say that Gabriela vocally made this song even better.

[@kentamplin]

It's an amazing composition by a great artist. Too bad we lost him so soon. Gabriela really does an amazing job on it, as well, Neva!

Gabriela, your rendition of 'Grace' is incredibly moving. Beautiful & powerful. I had chills as well from ~5 seconds in.

Amazing performance!

[@ranstillman8237]

This is really great! Terrific job! The problem with trying to cover JB is that his voice was amazing (four octave range), but his voice was far from perfect, with occasional cracks and slurs. That was a big part of his appeal and passion. It would be nearly impossible to cover him perfectly. Would love to hear you give his father a shot, maybe "Once I Was"?
