Omg this is amazing!! Love Nick!!
Mr. Nick!! OMG this is so moving!! ❤❤
Of course he does the aria about selling his best coat to pay Mimi's doctor. Just the thought of selling one of his furs put a look of terror on his face. 😄 He is adorable tho.
Wow, impressive
This just showed up after I subscribed to Nick's channel. Holy Jesus Nick. Your voice sounds beautiful but your eyes look like you have the fear of God.
♥♥♥♥♥
Daamn nice pipes tamika
Beautiful! Bravo!!👏 👏👏
now I do believe Nick is a top… lmaoooo WERK SIS~
Lovely
Now I see why he can’t grocery shop, boil egg, cook proper Mac and cheese….. everything went to this!
He has a strong voice. 😊 i can see how his fashion has evolved...
Nick and Mateo should do a recital for one of their podcast episodes.
Never in a million years would I have guessed the olive garden man would be this talented holy crap
Here from I Never Liked You...surprised there's no beautiful flowing blouse
Nick I love your voice!
Beautiful voice❤
Nick!!!!! Hahahahahahaha okay now I know why he is annoyed everytime Matt sings; he’s classically trained! Hahahah bravaaa!
Wait what? Is this Nick? Nick the squidward? I don’t believe this! How is this the same person? 😱
Holy cow his singing voice is incredible. Can't boil an egg, but boy he can sing.
NICK YAS SLAY
wow NICK
This just showed up on my feed. I hate that he’s not in a blouse
He is not a bass - that is very evident.
Nope, this is definitely baritone range, maybe bass-baritone.
Wow! Nick is so much better than he's letting on. Wow!!!
Golden buzzer ❤
❤
Wow!!! 🤩
Wowww!
Go Nick
so good!
WOW! Splendid. Go Nick!
King Nick Smith hasn’t aged OMG!!!!! 😭🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💅🏾🪭🔥🎶✨
I’m impressed ❤
Women's blouses suit those shoulders a thousand times better than suit jackets
In the words of Mother Hannah Montana, "THE DRAAAMAAAAA!!!!“
HOW IS THIS THE SAME PERSON?!?!?!? NICK!!!!!
I'm here from that episode!! Do we agree that Mr Smith doesn't give himself enough credit? Damn the guy has some pipes! Cheers
Who would have thought Squidward could sing!
wowza
Did something... happen?
😮😮😮😮❤❤❤
You could never convince me this is the same Squidward like Nick Smith from the podcast.
that's the chad squidward version :D
What If Nick from now is a character created by Matteo with collab from Bob and the others?! 👀🫢
I had a really hard time believing it too, and it wasn't until the end when he briefly faced the camera and saw his face head-on that I was like "OMG IT IS HIM!"
That voice! And the ACTING! He’s a performer (yes, the podcast brought me here 😂).
Not the voice I expected! Gorgeous!
Holy crap! How is that the same Nick Smith? Brava! He has a beautiful voice.
Podcast I never liked you brought me here. Wow! Nick is so suave!
Me too! I haven’t even finished the podcast 😂
Now *That’s* an agile voice.
