I find that nothing really lets you know how good or bad you are at something like recording yourself on camera. The Camera doesn't lie - for example - it's truthful that i should friggin shave because I look like a homeless person. 

Anyway, i practice in front of a camera a lot, and when I was dumping footage off of my phone, i found this and thought I'd share. Warts and all.

Ohhh how awesome is this! Thank you so much for sharing this. I really love to see glimpses like this.

Karen & Lauren

Well it is officially no-shave November, for those who participate. Maybe one year you will. 😉

Ashley Evers

A very manly homeless person, maybe 🤣

Carol Franklin

I think you’re allowed to relax on your own phone but then most of us don’t then post it! Still sounded great of course

Jeanette Pencz

Thank you for sharing this with us Geoff. Please more glimpses like this 😘 shaved or not 😂😂

Oliwier Dziki

Soo clean. And that sub at the end... amazing.

Filiz E

I love it!! Thanks for sharing..

Hunter

I’m not focused on the face. I’m looking at those pretty piano playing hands. 😉

Karin Wolf

Looking good.. and sounding even better!! 😆🥰

Angie Woollard

You spoil us, kind sir. 🥹 Thank you for showing that everyone needs to practice - you’re such an inspiration!

Sarah Borzelli

Oh wow Geoff, how good you sound even on the low low notes without getting close to the mic.

Gillian Drysdale

you sound better rehearsing than most people do in the final cut! we’re not worthy!

Tema Krempley

Honestly, I was distracted by your voice. And you can’t look any worse than me when I first wake up! I have Medusa hair in the morning (a tangled rat’s nest).

Tara Congo

Oh thank you for this! "Warts and all" still sounds pretty fantastic to me 😁

Agnes EvaR

I love this version with the softer sounding piano as well. Always great to hear you singing live. Thank you for sharing!

Petra Harwin

Thanks for sharing these. I really enjoyed both. Practice is essential, if often painful for the one doing it.

Joanna

Thanks for sharing, G! I find these bits very grounding and relatable, and thus very enjoyable. You sound just great live. I'd love to see more of these.

Anja Eder

So beautiful... hmm... and: true beauty comes from within!!! 'You're the best example!

Édua Elster

Never saw a homeless in that Good shape. 😆 thank you for Sharing!

Angelika Bock

How dare you Sound so good Just casually siging to yourself!

Amanda Hovendon

Oh that last note just shook my IPad. That caught me off guard. Don’t know how but it did 😂. Marvelous job on this one. Love the live rehearsal videos❤️❤️❤️

Katherine Powell

Love it! I also love that we can see you playing the piano here. Did we ever get told who filmed the final project??

Amanda Hovendon

And you do NOT LOOK LIKE A HOMELESS PERSON SO SHUSH! Lol

Jennifer Stubbs

Please be careful with offhand comments. Some of us are a paycheck or less away from the stigma of losing access to housing.

Mikki Fullerton

Thank you! I love getting to see you sing and play live. This was a cool opportunity to see how you work out how to get the performance across well!

Bonnie Wells

I don't think you look like a homeless person. I think you look and sound great!

Mia

I need reminders like these that you are incredibly talented beyond just having The Voice. Those chords are, at times, sublime.

Cloudy Skies

You're practicing...in your own home...who cares if you need a shave. Sounding good, BTW.

Jacky Friedman

Wow! Just as beautiful if not more than the video. I love your live videos. It shows how talented you are without editing. You don't need any kind of help. You're a natural true born talented person.

Gaisha Ziapour Edwards

Geoff you crack me up 😂🤣😂🤣 while you're at it clean your glasses as well..😁💞🌻 and I'm still in love with this song..❤️

Zena Darling

Cool video, I love peeks into the process! But oof... I have to second what Jennifer Stubbs commented above. I get what the phrase means in social-media parlance, but it's insensitive and out of touch. There is no specific look to a "homeless person", because that could be literally anyone. This kind of comment reinforces stigma and stereotype, and the "othering" of fellow human beings. You're allowed to look scruffy, especially when you're just hanging out at home practicing. Do your thing, and thanks for sharing. But please be mindful of your words ❤

Zena Darling

Thanks for calling this out ❤

Jill Weimer Koeninger 🐉

You have put a spell on me. "It shakes me; it quakes me; it makes me goose-pimply all over!" Do you know what film that quote came from?

Azar Neunaugen

LOL I think shaven is the way to go. You do look a bit rough in this one.

Nakeyae Street

I was mopping my grass...so I just going to put this on loop.

Christine Stromberg

Great performance but I agree. Not your best look. :) However this does prove that you can jump around the octaves, which has surprised many reactors to Jack's Lament.

Jamie Marcus

You sound great, I don’t think you could look homeless, but days of non showering you could amelll like one 😅

Jamie Marcus

smell* Like the raw footage.

Bonnie Lawrence

That’s ok. Makes you seem more like a real person. Got to have your relaxation time like everybody else. Enjoyed listening.

Silv E

I'll just comment on this one, but goes for both: I really appreciate getting a glimpse into your process, and I'm stunned by how good you sound just rehearsing and recording on a phone. I also hope you can't see how many times one person watched a video - that would be embarrassing!

Crisstina Joubert

I am very grateful that what happens in your studio...doesn't stay in your studio. Thank you for sharing!!!

Erma Payne

Thank you for sharing this, Geoff, but you are really too hard on yourself. There isn't a one of us that looks good 100% of the time. We are all just human. I love the fact that I get to see my favorite singer even if he may need to shave. We know your potential and that's what lives in our hearts.

Silv E

I agree with the sentiment, but imho Geoff still looks VERY, VERY good in this video. Except for the twisted strap on his shirt. I want to fix it. Or ... um ... want to ... um ... what were we talking about?

Maria Stoycheva

Catching up on some of these: this was absolutely lovely. Kept thinking why you looked a bit different than usual and it's not the beard (or even the hair :D ). I think it was just the camera angle. You also looked more buff than usual here, so...small blessings, I guess? :D thanks for those, it is really, really astonishing to hear you live and I like it more than any recording ever. ^_^

Deana Sherrick

Still amazing. I'm getting older myself and can't see too good... shave what?

Marna Brown

Omg, Geoff!! I have my headphones on and I *swear* I felt those deep bass notes all the way down to my toes. I am thinking I may have trouble walking. Now look what you have gone and done to a real live old lady!! 💕 🥰

Doyne

Love it! You should post this one on YouTube with your other live shorts!
