This man can sing anything. He does it effortless and perfect each time
Previously unknown fact: If Chris Mann cries, I cry. Automatically.
#blacklivesmatter #beencryinganyway
Shelli Meyers I think we’ve all been crying a bit. Although Chris Mann makes a great soundtrack to the tears... 😢
Same here. :'(
At least one tear rolled down his right cheek...
hahahah. well I don't cry easily...but yesterday the world finally got the best of me.
Danicka Le - Yeah exactly; that’s why I added #beencryinganyway. But when Chris’s eyes welled up, it was like switching a light switch on, and then bursting a damn. Frankly, the sound could have been off and I still would have lost it, knowing the subject matter.
Bridge Over Troubled Water is one of those rare songs that should be approached with severe caution. But Chris Mann nails it. He makes it his because his rendition is full of honesty. Brazen honesty is all this song asks for. A beautiful take.
What's better than Chris Mann. 5 Chris Mann. What is better than 5 Chris Mann 7 Chris Mann. Great can I take one home.
He's not for sale lol
I bet his wife has to watch for that!!!😱😱😱😱
wouldn't that be five Chris Menn?
AGREED!!! ❤❤
I want one too!
I'm watching events unfold from the other side of the world broken hearted. An incredible rendition of a powerful song.

Agree
This guy has made is laugh as a family through the darkness of the virus and brought humour into our lives when we needed it. Now he manages to make us cry as a family. Stunning version of this song!
@Leah Wade Nicely said! 👍🏽
Stunning!
I can't be the only one sitting here with tears streaming down my face watching this beautiful rendition. This really hit home. 💔😪
You're definitely not...😢😢
🙏To ALL 🤜🤛🏾
Goosebumps all over! Let us all be the bridges over these deeply troubled waters we're sailing...
You’ve made us laugh; you’ve made us cry. Now we all need to make sure we’re ready to vote in November.
I'm so ready.
Yes trump!
Thank you, Chris. To all of our friends and family members standing up for what's right. And for listening.
Black Lives Matter!
I’m not crying, we’re crying 😭
count me in!
Chris I am a 61 year old African American female and have been following you through out the corona and want to Thank you for this, greatly moved by the support and you can count me as a fan. Heaven help us all
❤❤❤
I can only imagine how it must feel to be in your shoes right now, but my heart goes out to you. I'm a white Brit and I've been watching events unfold in the US with both horror (at the inhumanity) and hope (that this can be a turning point and changes can be made for the better).
Please know that, all around the world, we see you, we stand with you, and we support you x
S Ellis I need to tell you this. Here in Greece we dont refer to you as African Americans but only as Black Americans or for the white people White Americans... You are an American 100% and should have the same treatment and respect as any other American.. Best of luck , and support to you.
Chris I’m a 62 year old African American woman, just like S Ellis. Your rendition of this song gave me chills. Thank you for giving me hope for the future. Thank you for making me laugh while I was recovering from pneumonia and corona. ❤️
I stand with you!
A one-man acapella group? That's talent!! Thanks, Chris! This is a beautiful and well-timed rendition. Thank you.
Damn this man is talented.. Liking this song just doesn't cover it. I loved his comedy songs but when he's serious he just crushes all the feels 💜😭😭✊🏾✊🏾🙌🏾💔
Yes. He does. Heart rendering version of a classic.
A un app full
Absolutely brilliant
When a person, city,state, nation, world and Universe are in crisis there will be natural leaders that emerge. Thank you for making a and posting the work you are doing as you lead us in healing.💖💖💖💖💖
So true...Beautiful comment.
Thank you. I'm just along for the ride like the rest of us.
@@OfficialChrisMann 😏👍💚
As a Black woman with a 42 year old son and a 21 year old grandson the streets can be very scary at times. What a beautiful rendition. Brought tears to my eyes and comfort to my soul. Thank you Chris.
Thank you. I’m a black mother of a son and I’ve been crying every day. Thank you for your support ❤️
I read your comment just as I reached the "when pain is all around" (at 2:09)... Hit me right in the heartstrings 💔 You're a strong person dealing with those feelings every day
*Hugs May you and your family stay safe now and always.
I stand with you!
Sending my love to You and Your Family, my Sister💖🙋🏽💖
Deja Vu, I hope we all become more effective in turning tears and fears into strength and change.
Spot on the moment. He has his vocal chords on the pulse of the world.
Together we must rise above ignorance, greed, hate and superiority and replace with compassion, awareness, kindness, knowledge and support for one another. Wake and rise people so all can prosper then watch what happens.
This son is life right now , very beautiful job he is doing.
Like an angel singing with halos in his eyes. Thank you so much for this much needed song. You are amazing.
Chris Mann has such an awesome voice!😚😍🤗, and Kudos to his "backup" choir 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This made me cry. My heart had been so heavy and it's hard to sleep. My sister is black and one of my black cousins is a cop. I am scared for them. I am scared for all of us. Thank you Chris
So beautiful and poignant
wow--you should film them having a conversation--would be nice to see some calm dialogue happening in the world
@@OfficialChrisMann I'll have to ask. I live in Kentucky, my sister lives in Alaska and my cousin lives in Philly now I think. Might take min to coordinate.
@@waywardgoddess1153 ZOOM IT!
💜💜💜💜
Thank you for that. It is so needed. I cried. Why isn't ALL of America crying?
I put on waterproof mascara when I saw this in my feed this morning because I knew there would be tears. Thank you for showing your support with this beautiful and touching song Chris ❤
I think Simon and Garfunkel would be very proud that you sang this song and dedicated it to Black Lives Matter.
You have such a beautiful voice. This was so heartfelt
I was once told if a voice gives you chills that voice has been anointed. You give me chills. Thank You.
Once again I find myself on my knees praying for our country. Once again I turn to this beautiful rendition of a deeply moving song. I again thank you for your beautiful voice in this our time of grief 💞
Thank you for not staying silent and for using your talent to supports and acknowledge this times and those affected directly by it
Is what separates you from the rest...what a terrific human being 🙌🏽
Chris' hearth felt rendition of this powerful song warms my heart. Virtual hugs everyone! #BlackLivesMatter 🌻❤
No way to express how moving that was. Thank you.
Beautiful Chris.. in sad times music always warms the hearts of those who grieve and then the sun seems a little brighter. Thankyou. 👌👌
So beautiful. How is this guy not everywhere, cos he can sing anything. Thank you, Chris.
Chris Mann. Thankyou. This is what the world needs. I can feel your dedication. Tears. Beautifully done, lovely voice. Man is one race.
Chris Mann has the most incredible voice I've ever heard. I grew up with rock & roll from the beginning and he truly is at the top. Not to mention is voice is as sexy as hell. Can't believe some studio isn't grabbing him up and promoting him like crazy.
Beautiful. Should of won the voice. Now people who dont watch the voice are seeing what an incredible voice you have.
Perfect song at the right time and a great reason. Thanks Chris. Be the bridge, stand up for our brothers and sisters. Make Mr. Floyd's life count. Let his life's loss wake up the world. Injustice for one is injustice for ALL.
In times of trouble, we are blessed by the comfort of Chris Mann's voice and spirit. Thank you.
Oh Chris! THANK YOU for this! You sing for my broken heart! My hope for our country is thin & ragged. You have given me a prayer for my grief and a loving energy source to contribute to from my isolation and helplessness. Are these horrific events, and the pleading hearts of so many of us, enough to stir the hateful minds of this darkness?
The battleground of this election has been clearly defined for us. Do we vote for fear & hatred or love & true equality?!
Maybe these events and messages like your song aren't enough to change the dark minds of hateful people, but I pray it all makes every loving heart realize their OBLIGATION to use their vote now more than ever!
😢❤
Simple and elegant. Well said friend. Love from Minnesota.
Yes!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Simply awesome. The amount of work behind 7-part flawless harmony cannot be overstated. Amazing.
My friend Ken and I hauled my dad's stereo to the church where my 15 year-old brother's funeral was being held 50 years ago this next January and played this song by Simon and Garfunkel in his honor. It stills reminds me of that day and the sadness. Thanks, Chris for this inspirational cover of the song. I was expecting a parody and was moved instead.
What a treat this guy has been so pleased I came across him
Extremely hilarious, sincere, authentic, genuine, great vocals and all around top guy! Thank you for not only singing this song but supporting the cause. You my friend are a true American hero...
Pheewww, that version killed me 😢 Very emotional! Thanks a lot Chris for your voice and support!!!
Once again Chris, Thank you for sharing your talent and your heart with me. I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 and these times affect all of us. Love and hugs to you and your family. Black lives matter everywhere. ❤️🐨❤️
This moved me to tears, Chris. You are a lighthouse over troubled waters. Thank you. #blacklivesmatter
If you can hear this without tears, you aren't alive! What a voice, what a message for today. Thank you Chris. Dear Lord, I pray that in every situation, with every person, in every day, I can be a friend.
I would listen to Elvis's rendition when I felt down and blue, he does an amazing job....Chris just did the same....so much raw emotion we are are all feeling right now....music soothes the soul, I am able to listen and cry and let my feelings out, that is what music is all about, feelings and emotions, and healing and bringing people together...Thank you Chris, thank you.
God truly bless you and your family Chris! What a beautiful rendition of a classic whose message is so desperately needed right now!!! Stay safe brother!!! Much love!!!
I have sat here in my living room crying every day for a week trying to grasp at some idea at who we are and why we do the things we do to each other that causes so much pain, fear, and tears. Your song tonight (which I just now heard) reminded me of something I missed in all of this self-serving rumination. And that is the idea of our own humanity. How could I miss something so obvious and something that should be so clear to each and every one of us? The song, and your tears, helped raise me up tonight to remember that...to remember my own God-given humanity, and to remember as well to lean on that a little more thoughtfully, and dutifully, whenever I begin to feel entrapped by my own thoughts of uselessness and despair. We are all Bridges. If we but simply remember our common humanity. Thanks for tonight.
That was beautiful very heart felt, you could see the emotion in his eyes .# unity # God Bless us all# Healing # Hope # Change # Love # Salvation.
The first time I've cried listening to this song. Thank you Chris Mann
Thank you, Chris Mann. Soothing is what we ALL need now.👍🏾🙏
My dear grandmother with her Native American spirit would say, Now that is soul music.
Long before the genre in the music market.
THANK YOU! for giving grace in the midst of our nation’s great hurt and turmoil.
May you be blessed 100fold for your precious gift.
💕 Beautiful song. May fair winds and following seas bring Mr. Floyd to brighter shores. I stand with #blacklivesmatter.
I wanted to listen to this yesterday as it is... was one of my Mums favourite songs. But yesterday would have been my Mum's 84th birthday. Turns out waiting one day made no difference.... I still cried like a baby the first second third and the fourth time I listened to your version of this amazing song..... *THANK YOU* for the incredible beautiful respect you showed for such a timeless song.
I would love to hear your a cappella version of *It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday* as to date, apart from Boyz II Men; I still have not found another artist/s who have the voice to let this beautiful song stand on its own merit..... I have a very strong feeling that you can!
I have searched for covers of this song for a very long time and every single one really seems to lack something…BUT NOT THIS ONE!! This one is soulful which is what I’ve been looking for.
I feel like I just went to church and I don't even go. Beautiful rendition.
Soo..chris woke up to make me cry..I've been crying all week. And now this moment. Thanks mann. Thanks for being on our side
too much to cry about. but we'll get thru it together.
❤❤❤
When his eyes got teary ,so did mine. Nice song and well put.
This is a beautiful performance celebrating our shared humanity. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had dreamed of a future in which people of all backgrounds, colors, and creeds would renounce prejudice and hatred to join together as brothers and sisters...that is why this courageous man is recognized as a hero of peace. We must not abandon Dr. King's dream by allowing violence to beget more violence.
this singer deserves so much more, unfortunately winning or participating in a talent contest isn't always the best career move.
Spectacular!!! So much emotion! Brought tears to my eyes too. You can SANG!
Those eyes...i cannot focus on the hauntingly beautiful music. TALENT IN ABUNDANCE ! Almost Godly!!
I have chills. This is so powerful.
My god...I cried through the entire song. Chris that was simply stunningly powerful and heart wrenching. Chris Mann has a heart of gold. Bless you. 🙏❤️😭🎤🌹
Me too!
you're way too kind. stay safe.
Chris Mann And you are way too humble. It’s uniquely endearing. ❤️ ⭐️
Crying right now. Thank You for the rendition Chris Mann and supporting the movement. God Bless you and your family. #BlackLivesMatter!
Absolutely the greatest singer. Thank you for all you have done for all of us during this sad time in the world. You have brought great joy to so many. May you be blessed.
Incredibly poignant and moving. And needed! Thank you!
Thank you Chris. You are all about authenticity. I’ve loved the laughs, but this was something else entirely. Let’s hope this moment in time is a bridge to a better future for all.
Always good, never grandstands.
Chris is so talented but a real person which is part of his appeal. Very sincere. Sending him love for this gift to us.
Those god damn chords, could melt any persons heart
This brought tears to my eyes - thank you Chris. Touching and sincere.
Tears in my eyes too.
One of my favorite songs did justice to it

I thought this read 59k not 5.9.
how can we get Chris out there people, he's the best make vocalist out there now!
I love Bridge over Troubled Waters
Chris has an awesome voice.
Always one of my favorites. One voice, voicing the thoughts of many through song.
Very moving version of this classic song. Just shows what a wonderful voice Chris has.
This is one of those timeless songs where the meaning evolves along with our human family. From one-on-one friendship to the love we aspire to for all of our brothers and sisters; thank you, Chris, for your genuine and heartfelt rendition. You are truly a beautiful soul.
Watching it every now and then yet it brought tearas to my eyes everytime. Thanks you Chris you made me feel not alone at all.
Your stand for justice thru music, this song selection speaks of your integrity. These are times that separate "the men from the mice". Thank you sooo much, brought tears to my eyes
✌😪🌹
my children's lives are no less important. I absolutely love this guys singing and oh my gosh I got chills. This song, and it's message, no words
I fully expect, when I get to the other side , after my long life comes to an end, to hear this voice welcoming me. Thank you Chris.
You are the BEST at hitting the right chord to connect with the best in all of us!
Clicked to watch and quickly scrolled down to see the comments. Everyone was talking about crying, I'm like "what? Why?"
Less then two minutes later and I'm sobbing. Damn, this was so poignant and heartfelt. Thank you Chris!
Chris, thank you for sharing your heartfelt song with us. You have the ability to transmute pain. Yes, we are weary and shedding tears, but still strong. There's strength in numbers and hopefully our unity will bring justice #justice4breonna and all! 💖
I am still listening to this for comfort and uplift. Thank you Chris.
Wonderful. And a reminder that: In the end, we will win.
Chris...I dont know if you read these comments...but I have to thank you. When it gets too much or too heavy I listen to this over and over and gain a small amount of comfort. I can see you feel the pain too and hear the comfort. I have to tell you from the bottom of my soul....thanks man...I NEEDED this.💖
Damn Chris. He took me there. This man is amazing. Wow. ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful! Just absolutely beautiful! Thank you!💕
BEAUTIFUL ... intense and so apt for millions globally! 🙏👌
Absolutely beautiful Chris. We will get through this TOGETHER and important change is coming. ❤️🙏
Chris Mann. No other words suffice. I love you.
This song is so beautiful and I could hear your emotions with it! I could see your empathy with all the struggles that have been going on and so glad you did this to support not just Black Lives Matter, but that EVERYONE'S lives matter. We are all human and you showed it on this video!
Humanity needs you Chris.
Chills all over!!! Awesome most beautiful rendition of bridge over troubled waters!!! Thank you from my entire soul🙏💓🙏💓🙏
Powerful, moving, gorgeous harmony
Stunningly beautiful!! And I felt that tear with my soul, thank you for helping us heal, Mr Mann!
Legendary beauty in the singing alone...
I know a few church singers and some of them will not sing lead on this song. They know their limitations and the level of control this song demands.
I agree with them : you either nail it or fail it - there is no middle ground for an "ehh it was ok"
You nailed it.
Thank you for such a beautiful rendition
First- I never comment...
Second- I know I should yet I just never do...
Third- I said from early on this man is capable of great vocals seriously and chooses to just make us laugh...
Fourth- he shows us his best when laughter is not fitting, and our voices are the only vital thing left that matters...
Clowns are a dear and healthy part of our human experience...
This is the depths a clown will go to in order to make us feel better...
GOD BLESS YOUR SIR, you dear boy, you beautiful clown, we need you and others like you in this world today ...
