He did justice to that beautiful song.

[@kenknight6629]

Ghaniza S Yes he did

[@syrchov]

Ghaniza S and he summons all part of the leagues like bruce and clark

[@caseybv74]

Ghaniza S Yea if this was American he would have added about bunch of crap sounds to make the song "his".

[@yellow5350]

caseybv74 oh god i prefer when people keep it to the original

[@caseybv74]

There's exceptions like any Bob Dylan cover, but when people say ohh and baby a bunch of times just kills a song.

[@xorrza]

Came here after news that Bill had passed. Bill you legacy lives on through all of us who keep your music alive. Rest in power Bill.

It's such a shame we haven't heard more of him, he has such a beautiful timbre to his voice. Distinctive, strong and great power. Hope he is rediscovered soon.

[@orf.designs]

this guy seems so genuine. You can see he's extremely nevrous but is hiding it well. Beautiful voice! Beautiful song!

Agreed. Too genuine for Cowell to realise, as Cowell himself is the exact opposite. Anyways, as STEALTH he is making really good music.

Joe Cockers version brilliant.

I will never understand the physics behind British people loosing their accents when they sing

[@Solastar]

I have asked myself the same question

[@salmaxioa]

Akh you have to ask us we lose our language when we sing in English 😁😁😁

[@weareuniqueforareason7503]

[@Seph451]

Speech and song occur in different parts of the brain making accents more flexible.

[@smassey85]

He is very handsome, rugged and is a great singer! Totally enjoyed his performance

[@jimshaw9449]

Fun fact, the most repeated phrase in musical recording is "I know" 26 reps, this young man hit it perfectly!

[@TheMusicguy68]

SHAUN SMITH! Wow! This young man has a great voice! I'd buy this song tomorrow. I really liked his singing a lot! He has lots of talent and an excellent future in music!

[@UntouchableNYsee]

One of my most favorite songs EVER created by such a wonderful and talented Mr. Bill Withers

[@Corey-fi7yj]

Did you ever hear the version of a young Michael Jackson...the best version I ever heard

[@0a1adiec8]

​ @Corey well Horace Andy is the best version without any doubts.

[@alexisjohanson4454]

Shaun has a great voice and does a great job with this song! This is a nice style of music for him. Hope to hear more from him in the future.

[@GraysonAngelique]

Love it. He put his own touch, his own soul to it. It was emotionally stirring for me to watch.

[@mikehein8970]

Now that's REAL music and a freaking awesome voice... damn! He's got talent!

[@Bonified369]

I'm home alone, 11 at night all the way over in the US clapping like a fool because this kid is so outstanding. Brilliantly done.

[@pinkdisney4ever]

It's 2018 and I still remember this audition ! GREAT JOB

[@keithpurduecroft]

I was there when the First performance happened. Match That! This young squire brought it home! Long overdue. Well-kickass-done!!

[@boutiquehotelglobe]

I can honestly say that you have THE best live cover of this song that I've ever heard.

[@jeffmayelin]

beautiful! no one expected this performance. that's what makes it so damn great!

[@Pinky_Bubbles]

Beautifully done , he seems very humble. With his voice , he will accomplish what he wants , making people happy through music.

[@tonyallison1115]

Excellent Shaun - one of my best ' all time ' songs , and you delivered it brilliantly 👌👏👍.

[@jenicamohlman7657]

Beautiful voice!! I almost cried listening to him sing that song. So amazing!!!

[@gazcross3926]

What a pleasure to listen to ... great voice, great talent.

[@619mark1]

I agree with Simon. His hands in the pocket shyness helped soften his attractiveness and made him appear to be more about the music then his looks.

[@teresamorales7485]

This kid just gave me goosebumps!

[@dpoole]

That young man trumped that when I was a younger man that was one of my favorite songs I still love song well done

[@ziyou3494]

As soon as he starts singing I get goose bumps all over.

[@ukxxsal]

This was the first time I'd ever heard this song and I absolutely loved it!

[@janetmabank]

That's really good for a kid , he is 17 and can sing this song is awesome

[@maddiesiegmund5623]

This is the most real life High School Musical thing in existence

[@alvinthechipmunk777]

not really

[@kevinbacon8716]

Why are so many people bashing this kid? He's not the best singer in the world ,but he's pretty damn good. He's only going to get better.

[@billybodybuilder]

Well done young lad , you just nailed a 70's classic !

[@robbyrobrob1]

That was well done young man. My sentiments exactly.

[@shanke300]

Bill, your contributions are appreciated by today's youngsters, which is truly a gift

[@anandmarella]

Bill is one of my favourites, but Shawn was exceptional...loved it...

[@Shanonian]

I should be asleep by now. Instead, I’m crying. This moved me 😁 He’s a talented guy

[@ksfoo5915]

He's s good. I half expect him to stumble on the 'I know, I know, I know...' part but he breezed through effortlessly. Brilliant ...

[@kingtut23456]

It is nice to see a youthful boy sing a classic song, and do it well.....very well

[@shahsulong]

one of the best rendition. LOVE it!!

[@YoungBoiiiJ]

[@smellyolegoat150]

Loved this guys tone and gravel. He also looks like a star. I would love to know what became of him.

[@claudemaassen2963]

[@cooker36]

He got older. Hehe

[@govand7]

[@subbiejon6325]

All these people who criticize these shows are either jealous or talentless. Want people who say that hate theses shows ,DONT WATCH THE FUCKING CLIPS!!!

[@beebrian2121]

Yes. Definitely. I hate when people whine about how they're exploiting people. They're not. They're simply maximizing ratings on top of giving opportunities. There's nothing wrong with that.

[@davidbuhbut5323]

One of the best songs ever .great 70s

[@carolharris2255]

What happened to this young man? His rendition was soulful, powerful, amazing!

[@gaylaaucoin9667]

Closed my eyes he's an angel ❤❤❤❤❤

[@williambilyeu9801]

He repeated "I know, I know" too many times and changed the lyrics from the original afterwards. I don't know if it was deliberate, or he forgot the lyrics. Still he has a very nice voice and delivery.

[@errolandrade4235]

One word to describe his singing ......'wow' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Can't believe it has been 12 year already!! I was huge fan when he first came out, wondering how is he doing now?

[@User62991x]

Absolutely outstanding! tops bill withers version, Go on lad

[@thamiva]

luv this song and her voice💘

[@chanhei1242]

WHY ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE EXPECTING A 17-18 YEAR OLD LAD TO BE PROFESSIONAL AT SINGING ALREADY AT HIS FIRST AUDITION??? HE HAS POTENTIAL AND HE IS UNDENIABLY GOOD FOR HIS EXPERIENCE!!

[@wizpopr]

Most of these contestants have been singing for a long time either in church or competitively.

[@modernmarvel]

LMAO!!! The woman judge looked like she was going to jump out from her chair and have her way with that kid...looks like I need to learn a new skill.

[@modernmarvel]

Sure can't but tell that to the Bill Gates and Warren Buffets of the world if it matters.

[@malfeasantplatypus6727]

As a matter of fact you can "learn", or at least acquire, good looks. Have you seen half of Hollywood? A lot of so-called "beautiful" people are hideous without their makeup. Between makeup, dentistry and plastic surgery, you can very much acquire as much good looks as you have the money to pay for.

[@fleimlehner]

Omar rifai he was talking about learning how to sing :/ are you that slow

[@modernmarvel]

Relax, don't get your panties in a bunch from a comment of a person you will never meet about an amazing singer you will never meet.
