your song | elton john | acoustic cover ft. kenton chen | stories

[@EndoNintendo]

Kenton is my wife’s good friend. I know him and I’ve heard him sing in person. All I can say is he’s literally never off key. He’s the best singer I’ve ever heard. And he’s a total sweetheart. Kenton if you see this, Alexa and I love you and I listen to this cover like everyday, and always tear up! Your biggest fan, Mikey Saenz

[@AnasCreativeCorner]

- aww...

[@jennycalabrano]

You both are very lucky, kenton is a VERY talented singer, if I could meet him, I would like to ask him for some tips to improve my singing (sorry for my weak English, I am still learning, as you can see)

[@RicardoMoralesMassin]

awwwww thats awesome

[@RebelwheelsNYCShow]

the world needs more kenton unplugged. a lovely cover

[@KentonChen]

Rebelwheels i love this setting. Thank you!

[@janiceemory6800]

Very very smooth nice 👍🏾

[@classicaltrombone]

The vocal mic is SO crisp. It's what Kenton deserves!

[@BazzyOperationz]

Nice to see you here Chris! Also half-man half-machine is a killer album :)

[@j3ffn4v4rr0]

So true about the mic...does anyone know what kind it is?

[@sunnyboner676]

Jeff Navarro it’s an Earthworks SR314 condenser microphone.

[@madeinkonada]

Kenton Chen was roaming the earth all this time and I just found out about him today. Better late than never! ♡

[@madyjules]

yes & I’m a month late 😊

[@meltcy]

Today.

[@carmelcarl]

Ahh... I remember my first time

[@briandesjardin9381]

This is my "today"! Bored, looking up cover versions of Say A Little Prayer, and here I am, hahaha!

[@melvinyubal2214]

Today!!! And yeah better late than never! 😂

[@Riccardo_Mori]

There's a tendency to overdo when covering this song. I love Kenton's performance here: the right colours, the right restraint, very Elton John back-in-the-day. Cheers!

[@BTheTrue]

could have been a tad more restrained. this sing does not need ANY vocal theatrics at all. the lyrics and melody are already magic. but good job though...

[@moonoggin]

@@BTheTrue I loved the little vocal waterfalls he put in.

[@WhoopWhoop10]

The restraint is incredible.

[@metropolis10]

kenton you're killing it and you're killing me love the expressiveness

[@KentonChen]

Finlay Beaton ♥️♥️♥️

[@Beaut_Beau]

Kenton Chen = Perfection. You left this aussie man with tears streaming down his face. Absolutely beautiful.

[@2008topshelf]

hadn't realized how beautiful the writing was on that song. Never really heard them clearly until now.

[@benchase4035]

2008topshelf finally feeling the Bern? Lol

[@brucedillinger9448]

You should listen to the original again because you obviously didn't listen close enough. It's perfectly clear.

[@sandravickers3819]

He is a beautiful singer. His cover of Roxanne with Scary Pockets is the best I’ve ever heard. This cover is gorgeous too.

[@ChessGM1]

This young man was born to sing this song. It moved me.

[@moniquelawrence9216]

It's like hearing it for the first time. Truly made it his own.

[@hendibramble7160]

He isn't just singing. He is telling a beautiful story. It's amazing....

[@larisakellett2587]

The tone of Kenton's voice is absolutely beautiful. Lovely sensitive playing on keys and guitar too

[@tammyj.4663]

Kenton, your voice is amazing! I literally go to KZbin and search your name just to be blessed by your lovely voice.

[@icejr1970]

My God the Vocal Control......Beautifully done.

[@AZukerNV]

I respect Kenton Chen so much and I'm just so grateful these cats keep making great performances with him. Love love love love every bit of it.

[@KentonChen]

I’m super grateful too ♥️♥️

[@LorchVHS]

Possibly the most beautiful voice I've ever hear, but more importantly, it's coming from someone who really loves to use it. Hearing Kenton sing is obviously wonderful, but nothing compared to seeing him smile in those moments as he does it. Thank you Kenton.

[@SophisticatedLang]

This song by Elton John has been my all time favorite for decades. You slow down this song to allow me time to savor every word, every note. Beautiful. I could not believe anyone could turn this iconic classic into completely his song, but you just did. Love it!

[@michaelwilder8373]

This is the first time I've heard this young man sing and his is one of the sweetest, purest voices I've ever heard. Well done you three. This was an excellently simple but elegant version of this wonderful classic. I think Sir Elton would like it.

[@dannycurtis2591]

I would LITTERALLY pay to hear Kenton Chen sing the largest phone book ever, and beg on bended knee for encores!! THAT'S how much I love his voice. This young man wiil go down in history as one of th greatest vocalists ever!! I missed the PMJ show last year(HSV, AL),but plan to travel to at least one this 2020!!!

[@MaH80gd]

Idk what makes me happier about this video. The fact this is the only cover of 'your song' which I can truly appreciate or the fact that, finally, we can see artists out of the 'white-blue-eyed box' getting their recognition. it's refreshing.

[@moihawk666]

beautiful. just .... beautiful.

[@plumedescaraibes4536]

You make this world beautiful Kenton, thank you 🙏🏾

[@thoang101]

The best "Your Song" that I've heard so far. Full of emotion.

[@Inkkink]

Delicate, sincere and beautiful.

[@humayyyra]

when his hand went up to his eyes at the line about forgotten eye color. aww

[@JohnLumpp]

Great voice. Kenton deserves much greater recognition. He gives a silky smooth delivery of a classic. Best ever cover.

[@gregorytaff542]

Wow. Thank you for that. Just heavenly.

[@cpcoach]

Beautifully calming during these 'corona days"................ One of Kenton's best songs!

[@kuroraijin]

I love kenton ofc he's an outstanding singer. But the accompaniment is just so amazing as well. I wish i could have the instrumental alone too.

[@meltcy]

KuroRaijin thanks for saying what I was thinking 😊

[@ronalbertson9995]

Kenton Chen has absolutely awesome voice. Just brilliant!!!

[@KeepsYouUpAtNight]

If you want proficiency in all the vocal registers and vocal modalities then Kenton Chen is your man!

[@kimtierney881]

Never! Ever! Thought anyone could do that song justice but Elton. Until now. Just fantastic!! Sir John is proud! ❤️👏🏻

[@dbauernf]

Freakin' go, Kenton!!! BEAUTIFUL!

[@sunggyuhyung]

I love how the guitarist looks at kenton, amazed by his vocals too

[@Choobacca18]

Kenton is the only person I’ve seen pick out a crusty, eye boogie while effortlessly singing the most beautiful melody!!! That talent...

[@katemccaul1821]

Kenton can do absolutely no wrong. He's absolutely brilliant. What a talent. I love him. 👏👏👏

[@LHLMaE]

"or a man who makes potions..." > the vocals and the smile in this part made me grin and nod ♥

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

Kenton, I've been a fan of yours for a few years now, so I'm fully aware of what you're capable of. When I saw the song title, and knowing the focus of this new channel, I crossed my fingers with anticipation. The results? Well I"m standing, clapping, tearing, and emotionally bruised. THANK YOU.

[@KentonChen]

Thank you thank you thank you. This warms me so much. ♥️♥️♥️

[@KentonChen]

Bob Yost thank you!

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

@@bobyost42 I think you're right about Kenton. I'd like to say I love all my KZbin children equally, BUT the honest truth is ... the KZbin creators & artists that respond to me or other commenters, truly have a MORE special place in ... MY HEART.

Nice, I only discovered him 5 minutes ago doing If I Can't Make You Love Me and I was also crying and clapping!!

[@jillsteele2631]

I also would love more unplugged covers, your voice is beautiful. Kenton, I could listen to you sing all day!

[@yo-jd5xe]

Kenton sings as if he's talking to me and his voice is really reaching my heart. Sending you lots of love from Japan.

[@Ildriss]

"My gift is my song" It certain is, Kenton. It certainly is. I just can't stop listening to this :)

[@jmilligandesign]

repeat

[@mike7002]

I wish Kenton sang it like he does after 3:24. He is such a top guy, sweet voice and sincere.

[@brendarosado7080]

your voice is just beautiful my first husband that was our song yrs gone he's passed although I remarried but I always how we felt when we played it thank you you are wonderful

Wasn't even 20 seconds without chills! What a silencing and sincere performance.

[@janeybakarbessy2330]

I so love his voice! These artists needs more attention.

[@samroberts7404]

Thanks for putting this in my feed again KZbin, I didn't realise it was time for my thrice yearly Kenton binge... The man is hands down one of the best singers out there, he deserves far more exposure.

[@dogs4399]

This is definitely my favorite song. And Kenton, you not only covered it, you made it your own song. I'm the host and director of Asian America: The Ken Fong Podcast and I've been following you as you front Scary Pocket. I'm going to reach out and invite you on my podcast for 2020.

How on earth I didn’t hear his version until now he’s amazing wow love the original song of course by the legend alton john but this is another level of The song so in love with his voice true fan is here Kenton 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@scottrhodes8160]

This is the second video of this guy singing and I am impressed. He is a sweet vocalist that puts his own styling on the songs-and he is easy on the eyes too.

[@overlookedtracks]

I think Sir Elton would probably have a tear or two after listening to this Cat! Smooth version of a great song!! 😢

[@horsesinmidstream]

This Kenton Chen is just great! Awesome.

[@Chloe-th2lg]

The first time I heard this song it was on a cold November evening, driving in my car. It was my first Elton John song and he has been and will always be my favorite artist and this song is still my favorite of his. Beautiful cover, you gave it the same vulnerability and sweetness as Elton John’s original.

[@funnythings4894]

Kenton fills this song with life and love ❤️ thank you for this beautiful experience🎖️

[@lola8405]

Beautiful. Pure. Talented. So struck I can’t.

I'm listening to Elton John and weeping (not out of annoyance, for the first time since the 70s). Thanks, Kenton.

@@RPRosen-ki2fk agreed!

what a voice - wow

[@lawrenceduane]

I tried to comment before. Not sure if it worked. Kenton has a beautiful voice and presence. I saw him sing back up with Rozzi in Purple Mountains and he was amazing. He is amazing in this Elton John song - but I wanted his voice to soar in this, just break out more and give it total passion and I think the world will be listening to his voice.

[@zigzagas1000]

somehow I can only hear "how wonderful life is now you're in the world" and I think about a mother giving birth. Sweet song.
