This song was too gorgeous not to cover! Brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard Christina and A Great Big World perform it on "The Voice" live shows. Hope you guys enjoy this one!! :) HUGE HUGE thanks to Uncle Adam & my mom for helping us film and edit this video!!!
Also thanks to @ATrueeXFan on twitter for the request!
Also my first original "Tell Me How to Make Believe" is finally on iTunes! Here's the link! itunes.apple.c...
I cant stop watching ITS JUST SO DOPE. those RUNS.
wow
The male runs are auto-tuned :(
Ummm the runs ruined the song. Not meant to be sung in that way.
When I first heard this song it blew me away. Howard's run's are crazy! And your voice is Amazing! IDK ya aint at 1 million views yet! dang!!! cmon CZcams!. Howard sounds better than the original singer. dope!!!
Better than the original! This just blew me away. Your voices both together and separately are phenomenal. wow.
This cover deserves more views!
Thank you!! I'm so amazed at how many views this already has haha :P
Been looking at covers of this song all night wAiting for that one that speaks to me. This was it. Absolutely beautiful
wow thank you so much
Exactly how I feel about this cover. Better than original
I think I've played this about 30x now. Howard, your second "say something i'm giving up on you" gave me the chills, and then you're riff at the very end...hair standing up on my arms AMAZING.
Thank you :)
It does not always A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera the two are here, I think, little is known here in Austria and the West, but beautiful voices with so much harmony, Thank you.
This is one of my favorite covers of this song. You two nailed the proper emotion, breath, and the pitch was perfect. Congrats.
JESUS!!!!!!!!! I HAVE NEVER HEARD A COVER DONE BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. YOU TWO ARE BEYOND GREAT. CANT EVEN EXPRESS HOW THIS HAS ME FEELING RIGHT NOW. I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU GUYS LIVE BUT IM IN NEWARK N.J. AND IM SHARING THIS WITH EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I seriously think this is the best cover of this song on CZcams. Been looking all over :)
Why? This cover deserves a million views. I was left speechless, man. This was over the top. This was absolute perfection.
Thank you so much
I just spent an hour and a half digging through covers of this song trying to find one that I /really/ like.. Thank you for ending the search. The views are way too low considering how well done it is.
Haha thank you!
Perhaps you might also like my version? Let me know what you think of it. :)
Literally the only version that fills out the meaning of the song. Amazing job guys!
This is so much better than the original version.
HOWARD HOW ARE YOU SINGING THIS WAY YOU'RE AMAZING CAN YOU NOT
Went looking for covers of this song, made faces at most of the ones with the highest views because they're uh, pretty pretentious, don't have the welling emotion that this song should, and *cough* aren't actually very good; skipped a bunch more because more of the same. Saw the picture and views for this one, immediately thought, 'Hmm, how much do I want to bet myself that people are skipping over this for stupid reasons and it's actually totally gorgeous and amazing?' lol didn't take that bet and I was JUSTIFIED from the very first notes. This is so very beautiful, all the way through. You two are so talented and your voices are unbelievable, power siblings ftw! Absolutely gorgeous duet. Just what I was looking for, ahhhh, I can rest easy now. ;)
Wow thank you so much!!!
oh my... those runs are insane! so talented! my friend and i were inspired to make one too :)
Holy freaking shit, their voices are unbelievably good.
Holly... oh my goodness you guys are amazing!
So good, you both!
Your cover made my cry cause I just remembered my sister and my dad's death and I can feel that because of this sone and I want to thank you because some memories are back in my head that I will forever cherish...
Kyle Maymay I'm so sorry for your loss Kyle... sending you the biggest hug...I think that's the true beauty of music - to evoke and capture some of the most powerful human emotions. I'm touched by your comment and sending all my love your way
Thanks @Cilla chan
And your covers are amazing... I wish I could be like you or Howard... Thanx again
Yes! you rocked those harmonies. A hard duet done almost flawlessy. Great job
Howard pulls my heartstrings with his voice. xD
Every time I hear the original on the radio, I complain because this cover blows it out of the water and is 150% better. So beautiful.
I agree :P everyone subscribe to him at czcams.com/users/howducation !!!
This deserves more views. I love their voice but the voice of Howard is much awesome
Oh my god. I've been looking for a cover like this and it's absolutely flattering. Just perfect. Made me tear up.. Keep doing what you're doing, I hope you get the fame you deserve.
I hate most of the other covers because they don't have emotion, you both sang so great, I love it. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful harmony*
Cilla & Howard Chan Seriously Throwing It Down! Best "Say Something" Cover! . . . So Far!
Wow best cover of this song I've heard
"Wow" doesn't do justice to this cover. I just listened to about 20 covers of this, and yours is my fave.. Thank you so much.
I Just can't Stop watching it Again and Again Love you guys!
Thanks for coming back!
Howard Chan I really love your Voice! I keep watching some of your videos! :)
6 years and this cover still makes me so sad but happy. would listen non-stop 2014-2015 my favorite cover in life.
I rarely ever comments on videos like this, but I just had to in this instance. I've watched so many covers including the original and this one seems to relate to me the most. As weird as that is, I just feel the emotion is more real in this video than any other I have watched. Well done to let me remember my ex. :)
Glad you felt a connection with our rendition :) We appreciate it
Just as i thought it couldnt gets any better......the 2 of you came with this version...its simply GREAT!!!!!
The best cover of this song...I also been searching for the best cover of this song..and when i heard this..I was like WOW! awesome cover..luv..luv..luv
I don't usually play songs on repeat throughout my workday. But when I do, it's this song.
Wow! You guys are crazy good! What a great gift you have.
My roommate is obsessed with your cover for this song. My friend, Cassie, thinks you both have such a beautiful voice. You should be on the show, The Voice!
Cilla was on The Voice
Can't stop listening to it *-* ♥
I really like this.
Simply amazing.... Touched
beautiful
My gf loves this song, and we've been trolling through youtube listening to all the covers of this song. We've came across some good ones that we thought were pretty dang good until we heard the two of you. By far the best we've came across. Perfect harmony, no over powering, just excellent work by the both of you.
Glad you both liked it :)
I played this for my six year old daughter and she she got all misty-eyed. As I wiped a couple tears from her face she asked, "Why are they so sad Dad?"
"They're saying goodbye to someone they love honey."
"I don't like sad songs Dad." That made me laugh so I played her Cindi Lauper's, "Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun" and she felt better.
You guys express the writer's heartache with such tender beauty and empathy even a child is moved to tears, who doesn't even understand why. Your melody, harmony and rhythm are amazing, and your arrangement and skills are so well honed, but its the empathy and emotion with which you deliver it that makes it pure musical perfection. It's like character acting, and you guys are totally "in character". Amazing job guys! Well done! Thank you! Bravo!
I love reading comments like these because we get to know just how impactful and far our music has reached; it's a very heartwarming feeling. Thank you for sharing your story with us Alan and sharing our music to your daughter as well! Haha
This comment made me tear... thank you so much for the kind words Alan. This kind of feedback makes it all worthwhile! Please give your daughter a giant hug from us!!! :)
SIngapore Pride! OHGOSH, so much soul in one song howard, cilla! you guys make me cry. :')
I can't help but laugh at the autotune comments. If anything, it's flattery at its finest. Guess they don't know you were on the voice!
lol ik right? Just a bunch of jealous people. These 2 are extremely talented and auto-tune would be a downgrade for them. They sing beautiful naturally as-well as recorded!
Iain Kerr I know them personally and they just have that kind of a quality to their voice. They are a beastly singing family!
TheShortyTell You my friend are lucky to know them! I am jealous! I subed because of this video and have watched a few others and shaird many on FB.

Listen carefully. There's a heffffty dollop of reverb on the vocals, but beneath that, listen to Howard's notes. They shift a little too neatly and especially in the beginning, there's bits where you can hear his intensity modulate, but the note stays dead center. Particularly in the intro before she starts.
it's not just that it sounds nice, it's that it stays unnaturally centered.
Given the amount of processing on these vocals and the amount of cash that went into those mics, they are obviously serious about recording. Is it reasonable to assume that they haven't put any pitch correction on it? I think you're deluding yourself.
They are definitely talented, it's true, but it's hard to believe that there's no pitch correction on his vocal line that would sound a bit better dialed back.
wow someone here needs to get some friends. Analyzing bit by bit. Wow dude.... You need something else to do for a bit.

I'll be honest, I shed a tear. Amazing how both your voices mesh so beautifully together to achieve the greatest effect intended by the lyrics. Sounds so effortless. Gorgeous duet. I wish I was even 1/1000000000th as talented as the both of you
Howard should try The Voice too (-:

im addicted to this cover! i listen to it everyday haha
Wow that was AMAZING! To me it's people like you guys who should be hooked up with the big record labels! Your voices are gorgeous! Wonderful cover!
Absolute best cover I've heard on CZcams! Amazing!
BEAUTIFUL. Absolutely Beautiful
Unreal cover guys! I agree with the post about the runs in this...great control
Wow...goosebumps. You guys never fail to impress!
This is beautiful. I've been watching all the covers of this son and the only one that makes me write the comment was this. You are really good, both of you. AMAZING!
Hello! I usually don't comment on CZcams videos but I just had to after listening to this cover! You guys honestly make me super proud to call myself a Singaporean. :) I was beyond excited to see a cover of this song because it's my current all time favourite and when you sang Cilla, it reminded me so much of Christina Aguilera's vocals that it gave me the chills. And hopefully you'll take this as a compliment because I do mean it as one!
And I should probably end this before it becomes an essay but I just want to say you're definitely an inspiration. I was so stoked to hear that a Singaporean got onto the Voice, anddddddd it's a bit sad that we didn't get to see more of your audition/battle but the pure fact that you were on Blake's team is just way cool. SO IN CONCLUSIONNNNN. Yay you rock. :D Keep on doing what you do!
Hi Amanda!! Thank you so so much for this - very proud to be from Singapore and to rep our awesome country :) Christina is the most talented vocalist in the world and I hoped to be able to do this gorgeous song justice! It was so amazing to perform for her and the other coaches and will forever treasure my experience on The Voice! But THANK YOU again this is too sweet XOXO!!
Chills. Well done!
You two sound amazing together! Great voices!!
WOW, I never comment on videos but after hearing this I literally could not help myself. You guys are absolutely amazing! Brought me to tears.
I absolutely love the rawness and sheer passion for the song you chose. Well done. Xox from Austin Tx!
