Famous Songs, but OVERCOMPLICATED

[@bounce1082]

I loved Espresso just because the rhythm was so "I used to be a drummer"

[@ItisJasmine27]

Exactly!

[@gabriellegeorge2648]

"I'm working late 'cuz I'm a drummer"

[@HalfDuck]

You should totally do a full cover of expresso

[@TayCyGaming]

agreed the overcomplicated version was dope as fuck

[@yeethanv]

Agreed he really should

[@RandomArtist_Mar]

Yesssss

[@charminsi]

It’s espresso Nothing to do with express

[@RandomArtist_Mar]

@@charminsi it's just how some people pronounce "espresso".

[@itsLaura896]

I don't know why, but the overcomplicated Version of the Hot to go Chorus gave me a weird uneasy feeling, when he sang the O's lower than the original paired with the lower melody, it gave me kind of an eerie vibe.

[@RoomieOfficial]

Totally!

[@FriskDrinksBrisk]

Like a supervillian theme where the supervillain has lava spewing power

[@lianneconroy5289]

So many goofy giggles in this video. Love seeing it

[@rainbowzgrqce]

And some awesome baltering! 🕺🏼

[@WYGOWarrior]

Your version of Espresso SLAPPED! It is SO much better than the original IMO!

[@Gcherry64]

I feel like even Joel singing the normal version sounded more energetic than Sabrina Carpenter's

[@rainbowzgrqce]

Hearing these songs in such a way is so weird… Like, they sound so “off”, yet at the same time they’re a bop… but also strange 😂 Also, that run at 8:13 tickles my brain in the best way!!

[@semiperfekt]

The Chappel Roan remake was awesome!!

[@kia.k7.bro216]

ratio🤮 Chappell Roan is trash. I bet you did not listen to Good Luck Babe which has all the proof that she sucks.

[@Nightstick24]

Personally, I would absolutely love more content that's kind of educational-fun like this, where you talk about a bunch of interesting, music nerd things, while playing around. And I NEED, DESPERATELY, more stuff like the dives into Max Martin and Ryan Tedder. I'd love to see you cover more song-writers, producers, musicians, or singers, taking a look at their careers and their history. The editing on those two was fantastic, as well, and I personally found them incredibly, incredibly interesting.

[@picklerick4607]

I challenge you to overcomplicate any of Jacob Collier's songs next time! LOL

[@RoomieOfficial]

lol impossible

[@SamaSaadany]

I've been a subscriber for years now, this is one of my favorite videos of yours, I often got the feeling that you shy away from these nerdy music stuff, but they are always my favorite moments of the video (even though i don't know the first thingabout music) missed this kind of energy, I feel like I am going to be coming back stronger as a viewer. Best of luck 🤞🏻❤

[@DanKaschel]

If pop sounded like this i would listen to so much pop. I'm such a sucker for fast-moving non-basic chord progressions.

[@JaiLeeroy]

Loving this new Roomie dances video 😁

[@Symphonicrockfran]

I love when Joel reminds you that he's a hell of a musician

[@Janokins]

Disgusting, I love it (I actually preferred the tripleted version of espresso lol)

[@nghianguyentuan6466]

your Espresso is AMAZING, please make full cover of it ❤ I mean the original one. The complicated version is a bit "overcomplicated" for me I guess 😂

[@alexagray6307]

These videos are so fun!!! Love you Joel, you're a gem! ❤😊🎶🎶🎶🎙

[@treyxaviermusic]

WWDLD (what would dirty loops do) - the musical

[@Sanity016]

I am obsessed with 3 over 2 polyrhythms. the overcomplicated espresso version tickled that part of my brain and I'm so happy!

[@FlexxibleFree]

First of all great choice of work and perfect execution IMO. Second it's so great seeing you happy and shining, I hope it means good stuff

[@marmaniac]

Love the mouth journey on Steve Perry, one of my favourite animation styles!

[@jonathanmikkelsen359]

LOVE ur singing. MISSED IT! Just these simple videos of you singing. brings me back to the good old days!

[@Bowie_Nerd17]

Ahh I'm glad Hot to go played. I haven't seen your channel in such a long time and to see Chappell Roan come up and Hot to go. I was so soo happy!! Your channel is amazing Roomie! Keep up the amazing work!!

[@sugardarling9946]

i just started mixing and using AI to make some beats and trained it with my voice. sharing the splice thing was awesome. ty sweetcheeks

[@kimikittiekat]

I have been waiting for Joel to talk about Sabrina or Chappel and while this was not the way I expected, this was really fun!

[@PhantomFidget]

Striving to complicate famous tunes is what Roomie chose to do today 👏 Gotta appreciate the dedication Mate 🐺 🐾

[@ericafiala5105]

OK, your voice sounded so good on espresso

[@minty4474]

This was great! Definitely wanna see more overcomplications. I would personally be really interested in seeing a more in-depth breakdown of how you are overcomplicating it. Im here for the theory behind it all, both complicated and uncomplicated.

[@rachelhawkins2127]

I’m old so I don’t know these songs. But happy you’re back!

[@mg-dk2qz]

Yes!! I really really like this format! It’s so nerdy and so fun at the same time! How is this possible? More please!

[@emilsbauga8304]

I think this could use the 10 second song treatment. After the initial video, the audience can vote for one song to make the full cover of! On this definitely Espresso full cover would be a rythym nerd bop!!

[@RosyCastillo_93]

I love espresso, both the original one and your version ❤

[@Ifoundtheanswer]

I prefer the overcomplicated versions, haha. Nice work. Makes me wish people would write more complicated pop songs…

[@jenniferlow166]

You can just tell how much fun you had nerding out in his video, your excited energy is infectious! 😊 Also, you need to go back and put sleigh bells in the chorus of Hot To Go to make it fully Christmasfied 😂

[@patrickpetersen3979]

Ngl that overcomplicated version of espresso even the normal version of yours is BANGIN - Would become a patreon in a heartbeat for either versions 🔥🔥

[@rebeccablashock3829]

Loved this video: the "Christmas Chord," triplets, and your amazing voice.....so living for it! Thanks! 😊

[@pierreb97]

I unironically find your versions better. They're just much more interesting that the pop goo that the originals are.

[@Snoodle1512]

Finally! We've been asking for more dancing for ages 🙌🏻👍🏻 great concept ❤

[@muenchhausenmusic]

Hey, I liked all those versions! Then again I'm a musician and music nerd with a good ear, so no wonder I did XD It sometimes felt similar to your fellow Swedes Dirty Loops - complicated instrumentals but super catchy top line above that keeps it all together. Good work man :D Also I have to agree, the vocal melody for Espresso is amazing! Very well-crafted chorus melody!!

[@thesuncollective1475]

I like complicated 😊 Your Expressi version is lit. Way betta than original

[@xtinax3]

i love your singing and your creativity so much! the latest videos make me smile a lot!!

[@ashley-jaynesmith9334]

Wow loving these new style of videos ❤ Glad to see you back and your version of espresso was unbelieveable ... I hope you do a full cover of it sometime 😊

[@lime1452]

Espresso cover NOW WE NEED IT😊 Like our morning coffee😐

[@Squeegeeeeeeeeeeee]

I personally love Espresso. I think it’s a such a fun song. I don’t hate that it’s mostly splice loops. I feel like it’s similar to how we ended up with Umbrella. Finding a certain something you vibe with so much you gotta use it. Now obviously, Umbrella just has the drum loop and Espresso is like.. the whole thing.. but still. It doesn’t bother _me_ at all. I can understand how some people would find it cheap and lazy or something like that, but I do not care lol. Also, your hair looks great in this video!

[@MarkeySings]

Part 2 would be good for a video idea until you have your next genius idea imo Although I'm only 23, (or is that old? haha) *I grew up on your vids* so thx for still doing these videos, *you really keeps me inspired* with my music every single day and pleeeease never stop! *Take care, Joel*

[@notshyamal7947]

1:51 what did he sayy??😂

[@thierrytribelhorn7149]

holy shit those quarter triplets on espresso are so cool😂greetings and lots of love from a swiss jazz student😂🇨🇭🎶

[@legey5862]

This totally reminds me of a guy I follow on Instagram who sings counter melodies, weird runs and octaves up and down whilst singing along to famous songs! It's SO cool!

[@SkyKin]

Overcomplicated Famous Songs 👀 We're off to quite a strong start aren't we. Can't wait to hear what'll be in store for us. Danke for sharing Bro 🎶 😎👊

[@MelissaRogers_natesLilgirl5]

Awe, I’ve missed Jiva’s edits!! He did a great job with this video!! ❤️❤️ Also, your new guitar sounds amazing!! Please play it in more videos, along with more of your piano.

[@Jcamilogxp]

I need the complete versions of this!

[@burbusucia]

No but fr his first raw cover of espresso SLAPS i need a full version

[@aubreydaniellemuse]

The ending 😂

[@BrokuDrawsNMore]

The overcomplicated version of Espresso is so good it deserves a full version

[@tallerfrodo1262]

This is peak. We need more!

[@thatotherted3555]

I really enjoyed this. It felt akin to what we in the mashup community do to, er, _with_ a lot of these songs.

[@haji9164]

UPLOAD MOREEEE you are one of my favorite musicians; you're just so talented and funny yet humble. I still listen to the old stuff you published on Spotify, and I love them so much, even the ones you made under time pressure. more videos, please.

[@chaela9437]

FULL OVERCOMPLICATED ESPRESSO PLS JOEL IM BEGGING YOU

[@krzysztofmanczak1318]

I love when Roomie get excited about the content he is making. You can tell this is something he truly enjoys and puts a lot of time and effort in. 10/10

[@happymum6621]

Would love more songs; covers or your own. Perhaps some silly lyrics. Love it when you sing and look happy.☺️

[@HPSAUCE123-i8s]

Espresso is very overplayed, it got annoying after about a month, before that I liked it

[@Duffster115]

Espresso is one of my favorite songs. Im a huge fan of Sabrina Carpenter and been so for so long now and it is very nice to see her finally starting to get the recognization she deserves as what is in my opinion is the best artist in the world!

[@conwarlock3537]

You gotta do this to some of the older Katy Perry songs. That's like the most standard pop, perfect to massacre.

[@taelivision7973]

Espresso was so good

[@alemobra5747]

out of context but ur looking great joel! this hairstyle rlly suits ya

[@jbthemechanic]

I was lowkey vibin to Espresso. Somehow, that song just always sounds good, no matter the remix, but you did awesome Joel!

[@ratchetandchank8648]

Please do a full cover of HOT TO GO. It is so much better than the original. :3

[@Waddledee13]

Your Hot To Go version was amazing! I love the craziness of it all from the key changes.

[@helloiamapersonandyouare2]

the pauses in espresso just do it for me

[@kalexambing2507]

The overcomplicated verson of Espresso needs to be made into a full cover with a jazz band! It sounds like jazz funk and I love it.

[@TRPLD]

Love the energy, good to have you back! Hope you are doing well! I especially like the videos you do with Jonas and the talented one... Whats his name?! August, yeah thats it. :)

[@SirenamorenaX]

I NEED the full overcomplicated version of espresso!!! Wtf that was sooo much better than the original

[@liz3951]

Omg the espresso complicated version was soo good! Would love a full version of it

[@gabriellegeorge2648]

This was so fun to watch. One of my favourite videos of yours!

[@onxyxd7357]

voting for that overcomplicated espresso full version cuz i was vibing so good

[@overallslytherin]

i love this! i think my fave was the chappel roan one

[@DillenB93]

The chorus on the overcomplicated version of Espresso was FIRE! I like that more than the original.

[@istubbedmytoe8471]

Roomie's energy is infectious! Haha i love seeing him so happy and excited :D

[@Daniel-tk8ys]

This might've become one of my favourite roomie video's. I love this!

[@Yorky545]

Great video as always

[@SirDinoz]

bro literally just made them better

[@cooolmantle]

The over complicated ones were honestly SUCHA VIBEEEEEEE

[@foodiechameweon7924]

Okay, but Joel did an amazing job with the normal versions. He would do an awesome job covering both of these songs 🤌🤌🤌

[@SalmaGhanem-b7v]

Love this vid

[@kyokoyumi]

I love this! Do more of this! I hope it doesn't get claimed honestly. It shouldn't since you're singing everything and it should count as a cover... You also basically recreated the songs which just...isn't the same as using the original recordings lmfao

[@JJ-rz1bl]

I missed you broo great video. Amazing recreations you did awesome!!!!!!!!

[@pebbleyt1357]

We NEED a full Espresso cover

[@zubeydeerdem8896]

i think while so many famous artists are releasing new albums if you do reviews of them it would be awesome

[@missrobinhoodie]

The triplets made my brain lag - I love it! Please more videos with this concept!! Would've listened to a bunch more "ruined" songs 😃

[@lemon-parker]

A full version of Espresso 😭🙏🏻 please, please, please

[@laurenmiller6783]

This video warmed my music producer nerd heart 🥰 thank you, more videos like this please! 😁

[@TayMcKenzieNZ]

We're gonna need a full version of every cover you did, Roomie! 👀

[@SoraiaLMotta]

I like the expresso one better, the new rhytms feel like proposital good choices not just superfulous adornations. A good direction for a remix.

[@snibbubzik3566]

I actually really like the Espresso remake 😂 Id totally listen to a whole version of that!

[@PlumberryPuppet]

I love these videos, and would love if you did more of this style, taking current songs and rewriting them, whether it be for a different decade or style or whatever, maybe even just taking major songs and putting them in minor and making them sad.

[@Gregheffley1287]

Wow you are talented keep it up

[@UberVilla]

this was suck a cool idea and really well executed! i would 100% unironically listen to the overcomplicated version of espresso, a lot, i loved it

[@therealsammyvee888]

Would love to see a video about Espresso. I love that song so much.

[@authorjoannawhite]

Please do expresso as a full cover. You absolutely did not ruin it! Also I love when you write songs and do challenge videos !

[@emmanuellasajin7599]

I will definitely listen to your "overcomplicated" version of espresso all day everyday ❤

[@ArjunTheCreator8]

Complete honesty. Your voice was straight up bleh for Hot to Go. But it was a 10/10 for Expresso. Not sure why. Loved the video!
