disney really out here rhyming "glitters" with "glitters" 🙃 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀PRESAVE THE MOANA METAL EP : ffm.to/moanameetsmetal🦀

The Shiny-er cover ✨️

The original cover was already amazing but dude this is breathtaking

whoever isn't using headphones is missing out, absolute masterpiece

The progression between both versions is like your own villain arc. Starting off well trimmed and in a smart suit as the calm, collected, slightly psychotic villain to now with the longer hair and beard, the less formal (for lack of a better word) suit as the villain who has surpassed psychotic and arrived at full on deranged. I love it.

This goes unbelievably hard what the fuck I didn't think anything could go harder than your original cover of this

Love the original cover, but this sounds like a possessed collector of 'shinnies' and I LOVE it.

The original is like 'Oh darling, condescending, mmmhm~' This is just 'I will eviscerate you as I sing out your soul from your picked apart corpse'. I love it.

under the old cover someone imagined this as "a demon trying to sway an angelic counterpart resorting to intimidation, belittling and violence when it fails" now THIS feels like a revisit, the demon completely becoming unhinged after failing the first time.

The original cover of this is still one of my favourites (5 years? FIVE?! Bloody hell) but this..this..this is INTENSE. The original was evil in a 'sipping fine wine while watching things burn' kind of way. This is evil in a 'sipping fine wine straight from the jugular' kind of way..

That cover five years ago was what introduced me to you, so seeing it remastered is the second most exciting thing I’ve been here to experience (only second to Starship Velociraptor!!!) I haven’t finish listening by the time I’m writing this, but you’ve done stunningly as always !! Thank you for this

This is undoubtedly really good, but I do miss the suit you had last time. Fantastic work!

I love how you turned a song about a crab showing off his own shell into what could be very well be the theme for a rich, corrupted noble about to strike. You never dissappoint man, keep the fire tunes coming!

" You TRY TO BE TOUGH, but your armor's JUST NOT HARD ENOUGH" chills, literal chills.

I was obsessed with the original cover of this when it first came out, I never expected to see a remastered version 5 years later! Not only have you improved a lot, but you definitely look a lot more metal now than you did then. Sick cover!

Always a treasure to see Johnathan post. Yes, I used a pun for this song

I listened to the old version first to compare, and within 15 seconds of this version, I was like "Daaaamn!" You have definitely improved! And the original version was incredible too!

1:03 - 1:19 and 1:58 - 2:17 are definitely my favourite parts omfg its so good and the "your armour's just not hard enough" sent chills down my spine its so much better than the original song

Old version sounds like the villian would release their enemy with enough resistance This one ? Sounds, and looks like they'd use someone's fingerbones as toothpicks 10/10

this scratches *every* itch for metal in my brain. the original cover had so much swagger to it and had the kind of vibes of a suave and so cool it's scary villain, but this is like, ten times as menacing and super creepy. hell yea!

I've listened to the first cover of this way too many times and I somehow love this one so much more. Also all the creepy vibes are perfect for spooky season~

Disney should really ask you to play a villain. You just give those songs so much more depth and character.

I love it! You've really improved with the "villian" thing you've got going on. If you're gonna do another redo, I think This is Halloween would be an excellent candidate. Your original cover was banging but you could absolutely annihilate it with how you are now!

I remember watching your first take at this song when it first came out and now I have the pleasure of seeing your second take and how much you’ve improved.

Oh my gosh... Both covers were amazing but they bring completely different vibes. The first cover was more of a sophisticated, controlled kind of frightening like a lot of the regular Disney villains. THIS cover leaned more into the heavy metal, much more chaotic. Scary in its own way. Leans a lot more into what Tamatoa might have been like if Disney didn't have to keep a PG rating. Goes just as hard :D Sooooo COOL :D

The original is one of my favorite covers you've done. It always felt like a riff on the villain barely keeping his mask of cheerful amicability in place. This one? Tamatoa simply doesn't care anymore. Incredible. It's mesmerizing.

I love the cover from five years ago, but in this one you surpass yourself, incredible!

I love the old version, and I love this version😌

You definitely need to do "I Put a Spell on You" from Hocus Pocus (I know that's not the original). Your style with that song would be incredible.

This is amazing such an epic villain cover! 💕 you should do the pirates who don't do anything cover .

THE FIRST COVER I’VE HEARD FROM YOU!! ITS ALL COMING FULL CIRCLE

Seriously, though. not only does this man make great covers, he also responds to people's comments at two million subscribers.

Somehow, you made your villainous cover even more sinister. Well done!!

I’ve been watching your covers since the original one you released! Your improvement has been amazing! Even your older stuff was fantastic! Keep making these amazing covers and originals!

I’m loving the updated cover, but more than anything I’m loving that jacket. Style games on point with this one.

You were in a suit for that old cover and now You're truly shiny 😌 Character development i must say Jonathan

I listening to your original cover repeatedly and this is just as awesome!!

Has it already been 5 years? God, I feel old 🤣 Absolutely freaking awesome cover! 👌 Perfection, as always! What should you do next?? One Jump - Aladdin remake?? Be prepared from the lion king would be freaking awesome! Especially in your metal style. You may have already done them but XD Just dropping two songs that I could think of at the top of my head.

Never thought I’d see metal Moana covers

This Is a Certified Hood Classic

Nice. Reminds me of your second “Be Prepared” cover. I’ve said several times. You, Anna, and Caleb should do a whole album of DARK Disney covers.

YOOOO, I DIDN’T EXPECT YOU TO REMAKE THIS COVER!! THIS IS ONE OF THE SONGS THAT INTRODUCED ME TO YOU, YA DID AMAZING DUDE!!

Your old version of Shiny was one of my all time favourites from this channel and overall my favourite version of the song... But this one... God, this is just another level.

I still listen to the original cover of this.. I love how far you’ve gotten, and love the fact you have got heavier with your sound. I still remember when I first listened to you and it was your cover of this is halloween.

This gave me chills and is everything I ever wanted from this song.

This colors really feels like 80s, maybe even late 70s. I can't think about nothing, but retrowave. It could be fun cover, haha)

Ooh, I really like this version. Before, you sort of kept with the theme of being flashy and arrogant, but here you actually sound ravenous and evil, like you just can't _wait_ to tear someone to shreds. Amazing work, JY.

The audio mixing and effects and stuff was absolutely stellar.

The old version of this was the first song I ever heard here. Hearing the remake and how far you've come in such a short time is incredible.

I’d love to hear “Reluctant Heroes”. With this kind of talent, it would be amazing.

This has "Vampire Dad" vibes, and I love it.

“Because I’m beautiful baby” that’s my favorite line only because of the way Jonathan says it 🤘🏽

The original one felt like a concert, this one actually makes me feel like i’m in danger

Lyrics: Well, Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam I was a drab little crab once Now I know I can be happy as a clam Because I'm beautiful, baby Did your granny say listen to your heart Be who you are on the inside I need three words to tear her argument apart Your granny lied I'd rather be Shiny Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck Scrub the deck and make it look Shiny I will sparkle like a wealthy woman's neck Just a sec Don't you know Fish are dumb, dumb, dumb They chase anything that glitters (beginners) Oh, and here they come, come, come To the brightest thing that glitters Mmm, fish dinners I just love free food And you look like seafood (seafood) Well, well, well Little Maui's having trouble with his look You little semi-demi-mini-god Ouch What a terrible performance Get the hook (get it?) You don't swing it like you used to, man Yet I have to give you credit for my start And your tattoos on the outside For just like you I made myself a work of art I'll never hide, I can't, I'm too Shiny Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough Strut my stuff, my stuff is so Shiny Send your armies but they'll never be enough My shell's too tough Maui man, you could try, try, try But you can't expect a demi-god To beat a decapod (give it up) You will die, die, die Now it's time for me to take apart Your aching heart Far from the ones who abandoned you Chasing the love of these humans Who made you feel wanted You tried to be tough But your armour's just not hard enough Maui Now it's time to kick your Hiney Ever seen someone so Shiny Soak it in 'cause it's the last you'll ever see C'est la vie mon ami I'm so Shiny Now I'll eat you, so prepare your final plea Just for me You'll never be quite as Shiny You wish you were nice and Shiny

The original song: the starter weapon. The first cover: the starter weapon, upgraded. This cover: the special version of the first cover that is fully upgraded and Shiny

YESSSSSSSSS

Aaaaaah!! That's my favorite song!!!!

The Shiniest insane cover!

I'm convinced Jonathan young is a Disney Villan from another universe that became human in this one

Those high growls/snarls...*chefs kiss*

Это уже не просто кавер, а целый клип, растет мужик)))🔥

I'm french guy, this is my favorite song. The first one was incredible but this version hell yeah! You're so talented!

I have never seen Jonathan having so much fun in a video before. Keep that spirit man🔥

Jon... Holy crap I think you made this scarier. I LOVE IT! I have chills. Please do a cover of Boston's Foreplay/Long Time. Do it with an epic Keytar/Keyboard opening. Do it with your friends or alone. Please.

Johnathan didn't have to go this hard but he did. He did this for us. Well done mate, you crushed it! Didn't even think your version could be improved but you've definitely refined yourself over time!

Wow this is a huge change. Your Growth as a singer made this song all the better.

This really hits home how much he's grown. I remember back when I stumbled on a cover of gauston and was like yeah, this kids fun, I'll watch his videos. Now, here we are, years later, and that kid tromping around in big boots and a plastic sixpack, is a fully grown metal god, and still the first video I click when a new one pops up. Heck of a ride and I can't wait to see how far we'll all go together. Love this community, love these videos, and love this guy.

Yooo this is an absolute banger

I love watching Johnathan transition into Rob Zombie

I was so confused before clicking on the video lol I love both versions, though I can definitely hear the difference between them. This one really scratches that "metal" itch 🤘🏽

I've never seen someone yell the word "heinie" to me so aggressively. I love it

What a pleasant surprise 😏😏😏 Sure wasn't expecting this one, and i definitly prefer it to the one you did 5 years ago (even if it was a banger as well :P) GG dude, that's a blast !!!

This was really really good and well done , I been listening to your music cover since 2017 the first time hearing it was the shiny cover song

The transformation to Rob Zombie is almost complete

I don't know how you made it even better but here we are.

In 3yrs he'll come back with the shiniest cover

It is always the kids films that have such great/banger songs and i love it, i enjoy the older cover when i heard, and this one if really good too 👍🏾 can defeat see the improvement and differences(not a bad thing at all) this was great

The original cover felt more like the egotistical side of Tamatoa while this is the MONSTER of Tamatoa

0:20 I don't know what it is in the end of that line, but there's so much nostalgia in that delivery for some reason

not me unironically putting this on my playlist-

1:57 pega muuuuuuuuy fuerte, si las anteriores pegaba fuerte, este es que te tiren el jodido Titanic encima La canción esta genial, me hace sentir en peligro, esta guapísima

Shiny already was my favourite villain cover you did so I'm delighted!

The perfect song to go along with the shiny, glittery, galaxy donut I'm rendering. Thank you!

I’ve been listening to the first cover since it got released very often. Probably more often than healthy would be considered lol I absolutely felt in love with how the first cover was done and I was listening to it this morning. And then… THIS happened. What a joy. This is one of my all time favorite covers getting an absolute upgrade in skill, quality and love. Simply marvelous. Thank you for my new favorite Shiny cover ever. And I’ll surely be performing this in one of my drag numbers because this is too fire for me not to do!

I got so hyped up when i got the notification!! I always do!! I love your songs and covers!! I listen to them everywhere! Its no day without listening to a song or cover from you! I love your voice and I can feel that you like what you're doing. I feel the way you love the music and you put all your effort to make the best covers/songs i ever listened to! Keep it up!!

"Why Johnaton Young Shiny is a masterpiece"

The acting is absolutely immaculate! 🦀 💯 🦀

This was always my fave of yours

My jaw dropped It's on the floor dude

There is not a bad Jonathan Young song. Covers and originals rock!🥰🌻

I know you probably won't see this but this means the world to me bro I've literally been listening to the OG shiny on repeat at work for the longest time guess I'll be adding this to the music playlist.

An absolutely fantastic remake. Holy moly dude

I love how the metal style gives the song a darker tone that fits tamatoa character

this one is definitely the best villain cover so far, really cool

Кавер на Tamatoa был одним из самых моих любимых на этом канале. И не описать то чувство радости, когда вышлo пересоздание того кавера в этот😍😍

Dang! Improved is an understatement. This is amazing! ❤️

The first one was good, and then this one is such an amazing demonstration of your growth as a musician and arranger. I love how much spookier it feels - your character voices have improved so much too and that 1000% made a huge difference! Thank you for sharing this with us!

i randomly searched moana metel for the first time in 5 years or so and boom 51mins ago you release a song, it was meant to be

Beautiful

The production is so fucking crisp!
