Sittin on the porch 00:00 smoking a cigar, drinking a fine rum and listening to this in September night 2023, in southern of Sweden! Give me a break!! This is life man ❤
Smoking a cigar on my porch in spring here in East coast New England. This hits me as hard as I think it hits you. I love the internet for these reasons. Bless you and your family.
i am 52 years of age and in my time i have listened to more than a few versions of this song "wicked game". Ive even performed a couple versions of my own. this is by far the best version i have ever herd Chris. you sir stand out from the crowd.
41 years old here sir. Been a honky tonk musician all my life and I absolutely agree with you rusty. This gentleman is cut from a different cloth as they say. God bless you sir.
Listen too Angelina Jordans cover on wicked games. 13 years old. Not bad 😀 She has 128 covers and 4 own songs on TH-cam, so good. The best singer in the world i think and in my taste 😀👍
I am Japanese. I learned about you by watching a video of singing Imagine. I can only speak Japanese, I can't understand the lyrics I'm singing But when I was listening, tears came out I will continue to listen to your songs
@@yangerjamir0906 he has songs and they’re incredible. His original songs on Spotify have up to 16mil streams and his imagine cover 31mil. He’s doing alright.

Just as we were about to wrap up the last kitchen session ( th-cam.com/video/1Fr84_Fr96Q/w-d-xo.html ) I decided to jam out another one that I wanted to share with you. Hope you enjoy it! ❤️
You could have won the whole show in the us. All about song choice... this one im sure coulda taken you further. Wow what a voice! Kan du ikke lave Leonard cohen med halleluja i din kitchen version 😍
Thank you, Chris it's beautiful! Just found your music today and have watched 4 or 5 videos while my daughter naps. Your voice is incredible. 💚 I hope you get to read this amongst all your comments. 😊
I listen to solo artists for over 25 years, you might be one of the best male artists I've ever seen in my entire life, if not THE best male artist. A M A Z I N G
I have listened to singers for over 40 years and none, not one, has ever evoked an emotion response out of me. Chris, your music does. Thank you. Live your dream man. You have a fan for life. 💖I have happy tears. You, your voice, and your skills are so meaningful, soulful, beautiful, talented, and perfect. I've bought all your albums and merch and I wish you all the best in life. (Bro-fist) PS: We share birthdays.
Stunningly, hauntingly, unquestionably unique and smooth as liquid velvet. It takes soul and finesse to cover Wicked Games. You might possibly be the things soul and finesse are ‘made’ of. ❤️
This is one of my favorite songs. I’ve never heard a cover that even comes close to Chris Isaak’s original... until now. You just rocked it! I just love your voice, the tone, the raspiness, and the tenderness. Just beautiful!
I feel your voice is so soothing it could erase our sorrows and dark thoughts . A rare mixture of strength and fragility. Thanks for that Chris. Love from France.
Criss im still listen 😀🤗 Many hugs and Love even to youre wife, ore something 🤔 How was it now rong in my memory s sorry about that, But you see im nerly 62 years old so you now 🤗
Most of the people may be stuck in the chaotic version of their existence just to feel something, to feel alive. You are here to give Your gifts to the world and shaking the sleeper awake. As the vibration of Your voice frequency rises, You sing their soul awake with the echoes of Your voice. You are a beacon lighting the path, sending unconditional love to those who have never experienced it before.
I have heard many Wicked Games covers over the years. To me, none of them have ever compared to the original. Until now. This is an amazing cover and an amazing work of art all on its own. Thank you for this Chris. You're truly talented.
So beautiful 😻 just like you Chris . You Chris are a beautiful 😍 person great talent great 👍 vocalist just love ❤️ love ❤️ you love from Indiana USA 🇺🇸
I cannot believe that there are 31 people who don't like this version of this song! What The? Outstanding! Such a remarkable voice Chris. So much passion. More power to you man.
I am italian... and in italy, we know the best of singers and you are very very Top !!! congratulations !!! "imagine" is beautiful with you !!! thank you for this performence !
This is one of those songs I constantly try to find good covers of but rarely find one I like. Thank you for halting my search with this stunning rendition 🥰❤
@@ConnyYngve see, this is what I'm talking about. Lol What ever algorithm dictates what comes up when you search for something doesn't give me stuff like this for some reason. I actually like this version, it's got a bit of a different vibe to it. Thanks for suggesting it :)
Chris you have an exceptional voice and an awesome way of making a song your own, Like they said, you wear your heart on your sleeve, been listening to your awesome singing since you appeared on American Idol the first time, you put a lot of heart and soul into your music, keep up the awesomeness.
This is by far the greatest rendition of this song I've heard. He expresses himself through his heart. When the candles flicker out, the warmth of love and light fades, and loneliness takes its place. Only memories remain for a broken heart. 🦋
Puulleeze! You've never heard the original by Chris Isaak? As in most cases, the lyricist/composer of a song does it best. Kris Kläford is exceedingly nasal, and is lacking the passion and rich tone that Chris Isaak has.
@@kristiswa Yes I have listened to Chris Isaak. I will agree with you. I've listened to it for thirty years and he sings it with more of a sultry voice. Honestly I could listen to either one of these performances all day long. Best love song ever.
Listening to this heavenly voice, in my mind on a different planet. SUDDENLY ! This lady comes in decides to start blow out candles ....... What is going on ....
This is easily one of my most favorite tunes about love and I've probably listened to 15 or 20 different artists and their renditions, including the original. Can't begin to count the many time I've listened to the story being told and the emotion attached to it, but this easily is as good or better than the first. Your immersion into the medium, the guitar and voice, carries this into another realm. I was inspired to play it several times as it's so easy to get lost in. The candles being snuffed one by one as you play adds a special flavor to the message. Great job Chris!!
I don’t always listen to Chris, but when I do... so do my neighbors
your neighbors only listen due to your ignorance
lol
@@paulriksen5801 hey stfu
Ha! Same.

I learned about you by watching a video of singing Imagine.

That's nice to hear. He's an amazing talent
... then how did you write that in perfect English?

thank you for your comment
recent Google translate is excellent hahaha
Music is the universal language of the universe, you don't need to understand the lyrics to understand the music :)
One of the prettiest covers ive ever heard of this song. So much talent, unreal .
You should check out Corey's taylor cover too
@@ΠαναγιώτηςΚακκος-β2δ absolutely I will ! Thanks !
This is the prettiest :)
This guy gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to him ... His cover of girls just wanna have fun is simply beautiful
London Grammar did a fantastic job on this song as well.
How is this man not world-famous? Thanks for the goosebumps!
That we dont know 😮
You don't become world famous by doing only covers. He's got the singing talent..i hope he has the song writing talent too.

Easily the best male cover of this song.
Hands down. My jaw dropped.
this one is really good too. th-cam.com/video/Zm0WkQ4yeIk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BoyceAvenue
As a man I’ve never said this about another man but he has the most heavenly voice ever and always almost brings me to tears. So awesome!
A perfect description of how a song needed a little country!
That was totally awesome to listen to on a great 1000 Watt surround sound system!!!
WOW !!! this man got the best vocals I've ever heard. amazing control too. love your music Chris.
I listen to solo artists for over 25 years, you might be one of the best male artists I've ever seen in my entire life, if not THE best male artist. A M A Z I N G
Every song you sing I say “That is my favorite Chris Klafford song”. Then , I hear another one...That was absolutely beautiful!
I loved all the candles!
Thank you so much Karen!! 🥰
Karen, I think you summed it up perfectly, every song Chris sings is so good you would hard pushed to pick just one favourite.
I have listened to singers for over 40 years and none, not one, has ever evoked an emotion response out of me. Chris, your music does. Thank you. Live your dream man.

Chris, you’re unbelievable. Every song you write, sing, or cover is amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing :) you’re a light in the dark
could not say it better myself but i am swedish and this is how it is written in swedish "kunde inte säga det bättre själv, kanonkille"
Stunningly, hauntingly, unquestionably unique and smooth as liquid velvet. It takes soul and finesse to cover Wicked Games. You might possibly be the things soul and finesse are ‘made’ of. ❤️
Idk if i should be impressed woth his voice or the amount of candles in his kitchen. Best rendition of this song.
My smoke alarm would be going off! Lol
Try Malthe ebergs version
Well, it is ALOT of candles! 😂
@ just beautiful Chris
@ Congratulations on the 300k
You deserve so much more ,you are truly amazing!!Love you from Florida 😀
Best male vocalist on earth, ever.
Quite possibly
what a performance man that was outstanding

The most purest of music. A voice and a guitar. Love it.

Total voice control. Simply amazing Chris!
