about acoustic and piano only versions: don't do them. nobody gives a shit. we want instrumentals!!! this song is particular is nothing with just a piano.

eliot himself sounds fine though. it's not on his voice that the entire thing sounds muffled lol.
I love piano only versions! This song would be pure magic with just a piano, had it been done right.

I hope Eliot gets lots of practice and nails his singing style during the chorus. His vocals are fine but I just don't like the way he sings the chorus (especially he tried to emphasize "you", it was dreadful). I hope it's just a one-off botched performance because I really love the song (in its studio version).

Found another piano acapella that is recorded at a train station (?). I am worried now, it seems like his singing style for the chorus part will be in that weird way.

Agree, his vocals seem to be quite good, but there's still room for improvement...

While people prefer the verses to the chorus, I prefer the chorus but hope he doesn't sing it in that way in Telaviv.

This live is much better but he's sharing the other one (the NRJ) on his instagram. I don't think it was a good move... xslap

Thanks for posting!! Yes!! This is so much better!

There is nothing wrong with his voice. He is a competent singer, but in the first 2 acoustic versions that were posted earlier on, the way he sings the chorus was very weird. He sang it too forcefully on the "you" part and it was pretty grating. This time round, the sound recording is much better and he tried to sing it in the same way as the studio recording. Love it!!

Now he just need to keep rehearsing and work on his expressions coz I am afraid people will not be able to connect with him. And please please give him a great staging. This needs to qualify, can't wait for more 'live' performances.

And on a side note, he looks like Axel Auriant (the French actor, who is Lucas in SKAM France) in this performance, because of his hairstyle.

I get Iris vibes.
But it could also be Roberto Bellarosa case.
It depends on the live show.
