I must be the only one that thinks this sounds like garbage. His enunciation makes my ears bleed. To me, it sounds like he's trying to sing with a mouth full of marbles.
Draiman was trained as a Cantor and has been a heavy metal singer for years. During this performance, he had the flu and was sitting on the stool because the production team thought he might fall over if he tried to stand during the performance. He said that he spent about three hours in the vocal booth working out how to sing this song. Paul Simon promoted this performance on his social media, which he has never done for any cover of one of his songs.
in one of the recent interviews he revealed that at that time he had a problem with his vocal cords, and had a surgery on them later. so he was not really in a good vocal state. yet nailed it. here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/osBbQLhOp8A/v-deo.htmlsi=Q5ir3NndGI8CAK4x .
Draining was actually singing with a bleeding lesion on his vocal cord that night in addition to the fever. He did not have the flu, his fever was caused by the injury to his vocal cord. He refused to cancel his performance that evening because he had given his word that he would be there that night.
@@jaycooper2812 When I saw them in 2019, he sat during this song...After hearing him talk about this, I rewatched it, and could see him struggling. SO glad the damage was able to be repaired.
Respect to Draiman for going out there sick and sitting right in front of the timpani. That's hard enough if you're going to just scream the whole song, but for something that requires such dynamic range it flabbers all kinds of gast. What a monster performance.
The timpani in this performance drive me absolutely crazy. I am a percussionist, and believe me, those drums are certainly not what you are hearing in this track. Props to the performer for trying to sell it, though.
Why does everyone have to mention he was sick in every reaction.. it sounds like an excuse.. the performance was outstanding as is.. just leave well enough alone
Another great singer of recent years is Myles Kennedy who also sang this song together live with Draiman and they synergies together awesomely. And also, he can put up quite a performance even when sick. Love them both! I have been listening to their bands for years and they never seem to release a bad album.
i watch an embarrassingly high number of vocal reaction channels, and ran across yours just recently. i think yours has instantly become my favorite. Your descriptions of the techniques are done in a way i understand them better than ever before, and your demonstrations of said techniques are, truth be told, really kind of astounding. We love to see it!
That's actually why I started watching "vocal coach reacts to (x)" videos and then I never really saw good technique discussion, but found them entertaining so I kept watching them... Then the algorithm introduced me to this treasure, simultaneously educational and entertaining.
You are the only reviewer that has picked up on the tongue technique that David employs to produce those overtones. Every other reviewer, that I’ve watched, thought the engineer had kicked the Autotune in. You certainly know your stuff. Great review
on here they actually did kick in autotune, after David expressly didn't want it, hence the glare to the stage crew. They did it because he was sick and didn't think he could pull it off on his own. For that reason, it's why I prefer the original video to this version.
Yes, David Draiman is a very good singer. You, on the other hand, are INSANELY good. It is quite mindblowing how you can analyze, illustrate and emulate any vocal technique out there - and be hugely funny, quirky and entertaining at the same time. Thank you!
David owns this song - when I watch I feel it from head to toes; it's like a religious experience. You are not human if you don't shed a tear and fully experience the story this song exposes. Wow and bless this man and his tremendous voice...a gift from God. He was actually sick when he did this performance & apologized thinking he didn't do a good job.
His vocal performance on this is staggering. The orchestra builds with him but he controls the mood of the song perfectly. When he really lets loose it injects emotion too even with the distrortion. Just screams passion. Still brings a tear because of the song but the performance adds so much too. One of the few times when a cover performance surpasses the original
I didn't even notice that he was selectively leaving notes un-distorted when he got to that part of the song. Your analysis of performances like this is ridiculously impressive! Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos!
Your knowledge of what actually goes on on the inside, tongue, throat, lips, nose, cord etc etc, baffles me as not only do you know it, you can also explain it so that someone like me with NO musical talent can understand and appreciate it..... thank you
I've watched hundreds of reactions..you floored me by pointing out he was holding back early to build later. Only the top vocal coaches mention that; your reaction was spot on with the "odd" and "true"!
"I'm not 'Disturbed' yet." I see what you did there! 🤣😂 I Love your reactions. You explain vocal techniques so well to those of us that know nothing about singing. 😁
Absolutely love his version of this song. I think his interpretation gives the words the gravitas they deserve. David Draiman is a trained cantor, which I think shows, but you still have to have the voice. If you'd like to experience his full power, you might enjoy "Down With The Sickness" They also do another beautiful song called "Hold On To Memories". The live version always leaves me in tears. Happy New Year to you.
The S&G version is beautiful, but they take it in a more "pleading" direction. Draiman brings a note of anger in his performance. It's a perfect way to take the exact same song, but emphasize something slightly different to make it your own. It speaks to the power of the song that there are multiple, valid ways to perform it.
I've watched "most" reaction video's to this live version of Disturbed Sound of Silence, and this is possibly the best! Love hearing the technique behind the amazing voices.
Baby Girl…..76 yr old MeeMaw here. You have GOT to watch the video that has stormed the internet here recently. I was blown….away. The graphics in the video along with his voice……….. yeah…….. blew me away. Look it up!!
David Draiman has unbelievable vocal control....amazing!! A powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do and he makes it look so damn easy! He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before........just hauntingly beautiful and pure tonal properties to it! An awesome talent. Loved your reaction and your take on the performance.
The great thing about watching vocal coach reactions to masterpieces such as this one is that each of you picks out a different aspect of the song/technique to focus on. I've learned so much just watching Disturbed and Jinjer reaction videos! Great reaction! But you haven't truly experienced Disturbed until you get to "Down with the Sickness!"
This woman is amazing at what she does. If i could have anyone train me, it would be her. I think that most people would miss her greatness for lack of a better word. Very special woman!
Fun fact. His aunt made him take voice lessons as a child. That's how he did "scream" music (I LOVE old school disturbed btw). When I first head this song (original by Simon n Garfunkel) I teared up. This is the calmest he EVER sang n it brought chills and tears. I felt this song touched me in a way music is meant to but doesn't really do anymore today. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING cover and def on my everyday playlist!
Your analysis is so unique and spot on, you explain phonemes and technique so well that i actually know exactly what you are saying without having any real education on vocals
I didn't start liking this cover until I heard this live performance. It's so damn impressive that his live performance is actually a bit better than the studio version.
HELLO GORGEOUS!! 💜 I do so hope you enjoyed my analysis of Disturbed! UPDATE: I can finally afford to produce 1 video a week 🤩YOUR support helps me afford to dedicate 2 days a week to filming and editing. Thank you SO much to everyone helping me in Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee - YOU make this all possible and therefore, my dreams come true. 🥳 KEEP YOUR SUGGESTIONS COMING, I promise they are all counted. 💜 Have the best day 🧚🏼♀ Love you forever, Lolli xo
Love your videos! If you're down to listen to something special and different, you should check out Tyler Childers (I suggest the song Lady May, he has a really good live version here ua-cam.com/video/tiwJadn-Nso/v-deo.html).
Love your reactions. Very insightful and very entertaining! You should also react to the music video of this song. The production is phenomenal and the video they created adds a beautiful component to the rendition
"I'm going to watch this at least fifty more times!" Hahahahaha! I've listened and watched so many times I've almost made a career out of it. Mr. David Draiman is flawless here - at least for me, though I'm no expert by any means. I really enjoyed your honest reaction and the pointers you gave. This is the best cover ever, for me!
@@jasondamrau9147 Yep! I too have heard he was extremely sick during this performance. Saying that, it's amazing to me that he was flawless. No flaws whatsoever.
Your excitement at the size of his neck, totally made my night! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have absolutely subscribed. LOL. I adore you already.
You provide bar none the best reaction videos I've ever watched. They are in depth yet accessible, authentic, informative, and enlightening. Thank You.
I was so happy to stumble across this tonight. This is my favorite cover of all time and I still get goosebumps after the thousandth time listening to it. Best of all was hearing it on your channel, as you are by far the most interesting, knowledgeable, and talented expert out there. Thank you!!
So glad you enjoyed the video.... best cover ever done... Even Paul Simone loved it... put it on his web page. David has had extensive training over the years... even sick as he was at that performance... it was breathtakingly beautiful. By the way.... am an 81 yr old grandma.... who loves Disturbed ❤ And am now a fan of yours. Have watched many reaction videos... I like your style young lady... so Will be visiting you again soon!
I hope you also watch the official music video of this song, even if you don't react to it, so you can see the difference. The visuals are haunting. Sound of Silence was the first time I heard of Disturbed so I was shocked when I listened to another song of theirs, Down With the Sickness, and realized they are a metal band. Totally different sound. Take a listen if you haven't already. I always appreciate what I learn when I watch your reactions. Thanks!
My favorite vocal coach reaction channel. You combine great explanations with stunning demonstration. There are definitely some vocal coaches who never sing in their videos, or when they sing it's not that impressive. Your voice blows me away. I've watched a bunch of your other videos and didn't know you could do distortion like that until today.
David Draiman has one of the coolest voices in rock from the early 2000s. I got to see Disturbed in small auditorium and it was amazingly intimate and kicked ass! They took several 70/80s tunes and rocked them out. They did this one that was originally Simon and Garfunkel. They did Shout by Tears of Fears. And they did Land of Confusion by Genesis. And they did them justice.
So happy you reacted to this. Disturbed has been my favorite for many years. David was trained as a cantor in his youth, and it really gives him a very unique sound. The fact that he did this performance while sitting, and while sick, is just amazing. My favorite song by Disturbed is 'Prayer' of their second album 'Believe'. Definitely worth a listen to get an idea of what his rasp and growl can really do when cut loose!
I literally go through that journey EVERY time I hear Disturbed's version. As you said "he knows what I want better than I do" - so very true. I appreciate your explanations and genuineness.
Not sure if youre a Disturbed fan or a hard rock fan for that matter, but if you EVER EVER EVER get a chance to see them in concert, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you see them !!! I've seen them 7 times and David's voice (and the rest of the band) gets better every time. Rock on.
I've watched a lot of reactions to this rather fabulous performance, and yours is my favourite.. you're really good at what you do. You get it and feel it and that's lovely to see, and your analysis and explanation is so astute and erudite.. You're clearly very skilled and knowledgeable in your craft. I will watch more. Thank you.
I have watched so many reaction vid of this song & yours is one of the best, I laughed out loud & cried....because I cry every time I watch Disturbed perform this song. It's just so powerful.
Simon and Garfunkel were born to write this song and to carry it to be finally completed with David and his haunting powerful vocals delivering the song to us just the way it should’ve always been heard. The universe can be pretty serendipitous now then 😊
One of the things i like about this live stage version was the artistry. The song is basically in 5 parts, 1st is just david and the piano, 2nd verse they add in the acoustic guitar, 3rd verse they add in the entire string section, 4rt those big drums, 5th david really adds in the power and distorion for the crescendo. Each time the lighting brings those instrucments in when, also each time David raises the power of his voice. Just amazing.
I have been reacting to your reactions for quite some time and, I must confess, they keep getting better each time. Aside from your spot on assessments of vocal techniques, laryngeal gymnastics and breath controls, your passionate enthusiasm of your craft is contagious. At times I have more fun watching the awe and excitement you project as you truly enjoy yourself than I do listening to the song itself. I find that unique and refreshing and I look forward to your next video. Please keep doing what you do best and have yourself a fantastic new year, Cheers.
You have to check out the live version they did in Houston with Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge) as a guest vocalist. The two of them combined is astounding
Dear essa linda canção com essa voz e com esse rasgado, Rasp é de deixar estonteada, um roqueiro realmente destrói tudo com essa distorção. Very Very amazing. Seu rosto e reações dizem tudo, é de ARREPIAR.👏👏👏😘😘😘🌹🌹
Before I watched people like you, I thought singers just opened their mouths and singing fell out. You were great to watch. This song as sung by him is incredible.
I've been a huge fan of Disturbed and their front man David Draiman for quite a while. I truly believe this is one of the greatest covers of a song ever. Even Paul Siman, the writer of the original song, has publicly said the song now belongs to Disturbed. If you're interested in hearing the band in all its glory, "Down with the Sickness" is an amazing journey of not only how David has mastered the vocal fry, but how quickly he can change between his singing voices. The band also does a song called "Hold on to Memories". It displays David's very pure voice. Thanks for the amazing video.
I go on a binge and watch reaction videos to this song. I love watching people react to this performance for the first time. I get emotional everytime I watch this performance.
All other youtubers who do musical reaction/analysis videos should aspire to be as good as you, as you are truly knowledgeable about what goes on in these videos and are insanely entertaining to watch as well. You also have a gorgeous voice as well to back up what you say! Please keep making more content!
Happy New Year to my fav youtube reactor lady person! This arrangement and version of Sound of Silence always gives me a shiver by the end. I think it brings home the lyrics even better than the original arrangement by S&G (which is lovely but less dynamic). Excellent neck girth discussion, too! Glad you didn't have to walk around with a pine cone on your head.
I have watched his video many, many times. I've spent maybe an hour at a time just playing this one as well as their official video. I love the official video because of the story they tell. A true piece of art.
I've watched way too many of these, and this is by far my favorite reaction to this song. Your explanations make sense - and I know absolutely nothing about singing. Your enthusiasm is so entertaining. I'm so glad I ran across this!
0:50 I’ve heard the sound of silence. I was hiking in North Carolina. We had 5 inches of snow the first night. Yet we woke in the morning and decided to continue. The second day of hiking, I had gone quite a ways in front of my buddies. So I pulled over for a cigarette break and found myself in complete and udder silence. I could hear the paper burning on my cigarette. After a few moments I could hear my heartbeat. A few moments after that I had slowed my breathing and heart rate. Finished my cigarette. And in the moments between breaths; I could hear the sound of silence. A perfectly still earth. 8 miles up a mountain. Snow covering everything in sight. No animals rustling.
I rarely laugh at UA-cam videos, but you are so goofy 🤣🥳 Also, you are really knowledgeable and I love your imitations. You seem to be able to copy any sound right away. That is impressive! 😊
Like many other have mentioned, being as sick as he wall and STILL sounded that freaking amazing, is absolutely mind blowing! Just recently come across some of your reaction videos. Your reactions and explanations are amazing. i am in no shape or form a singer but you explain things in a way that everyone can understand. The main reason I like your videos, is your absolute, unrestrained passion for the music that you listen to. I have that same feeling when I listen to music. You are awesome! Thank you :)
I've been a huge Disturbed fan for a long while now, but when I heard David sing this song... omgoodness! I get chills every time. Not only is his voice so powerful in this, but he is gorgeous to feast me eyes upon. Just an fyi - David is trained as a hazzan (cantor). So yes, he has a lot of control over his vocals.
Excelent reaction video : funny, geeky and emotionnal. I love it. I was told he was very very sick for this performance, which give him even more credit. I just checked and their official music video has 773 millions vues! Now you're kinda bound to react to "down with the sickness", which is more of their usual music style... if you don't know it already. Otherwise, let me tell that nightwish and floor jansen have a little surprise for you in "yours is an empty hope".
I'm actually dying right now "That is a lot of tissue just waiting to be flapped" You have so many quotable lines that just kill me! I stumbled onto your channel recently and immediately knew that we should be friends! Also I absolutely love hearing your analysis of all music. More Dimash (Ogni Pietra or Tired Love of Swans) and Pentatonix would always be appreciated!
Informative and entertaining as always, thank you! I'd love to hear your reaction to Aurora's live recording of It Happened Quiet. Her connection to her music and her emotion is right up your alley, and there is also incredible backing vocals. Also a couple of fun vocal technique Easter eggs in that performance - watch for her hand placements helping her mouth shape, straight out of vocal coach drills. :)
When you said you’d probably listen to this 50 more times. I totally related to that as it was my exact reaction. I’ve listened to it over and over and over…you get it. And it never ceases to amaze and move me.
You’re such a fun and knowledgeable reactor. For another interesting up and coming vocalist in the clean/distortion game I would have to recommend Spiritbox // Circle With Me (Live vocal one take). Courtney is an animal.
I'm glad you did this song, and it was a good performance, but David was sick when he went on the show and you could hear it in his voice at times. You need to watch the official video which has 772 million views. The visuals add so much dramatic depth to the meaning of the words and David was even better in it. When this was released Paul Simon, the original singer, called David and told him that the song now belonged to Disturbed. Pretty high complement to pay to someone who did a cover of your song. Love your reactions, keep them coming.

They Autotuned this .... because He had a Heavy Cold ..
The original sound was Better ..

You are gorgeous girl. Wander what 🫚 hair would look like 😊
not a cold. he actually had a lesion that was bleeding on his vocal cords.@@christendomdefender

Then the algorithm introduced me to this treasure, simultaneously educational and entertaining.
Me too!

"Do you know what...that was f%&king amazing!" The passion in your voice made the review a special one.
I agree! As an older female, I’ll just say her analysis was delightful! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

true, he was f ing pissed they autotuned him @@mmoore2006
David has actually said that this was one of his worst performances because of how ill he was.
Just shows how incredible he is ❤
I watched an interview he did with Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice and at the time he had a lesion on his left vocal cord.
Yes, David Draiman is a very good singer. You, on the other hand, are INSANELY good. It is quite mindblowing how you can analyze, illustrate and emulate any vocal technique out there - and be hugely funny, quirky and entertaining at the same time. Thank you!
Have a look at FVM other channel Lolli Wren to hear her version of lilac wine
David owns this song - when I watch I feel it from head to toes; it's like a religious experience. You are not human if you don't shed a tear and fully experience the story this song exposes. Wow and bless this man and his tremendous voice...a gift from God. He was actually sick when he did this performance & apologized thinking he didn't do a good job.
I find the fact that he's able to combine vibrato and distortion at the same time is mind blowing

Agreed! I replayed it multiple times to hear the un-distortion (if that's a word...🤔) and really appreciate his use of vocal cords. Fantastic.
This version sucks,
Simon &Garfunkel does such a beautiful rension,it'll make you cry.
@@melvinyoung3474 Paul Simon was so moved he called Draiman to tell him how incredible it is and recommended it on his site. So there’s that.
One of my favorite analysis of Disturbed sound of silence. Clear explanation of the techniques he used.
I get chills every time I hear this song. Best cover in history.
Valid argument, but may I recommend a song called hurt, covered by the man in black.
Your knowledge of what actually goes on on the inside, tongue, throat, lips, nose, cord etc etc, baffles me as not only do you know it, you can also explain it so that someone like me with NO musical talent can understand and appreciate it..... thank you
I've watched hundreds of reactions..you floored me by pointing out he was holding back early to build later.
Only the top vocal coaches mention that; your reaction was spot on with the "odd" and "true"!
"I'm not 'Disturbed' yet." I see what you did there! 🤣😂 I Love your reactions. You explain vocal techniques so well to those of us that know nothing about singing. 😁
Absolutely love his version of this song. I think his interpretation gives the words the gravitas they deserve. David Draiman is a trained cantor, which I think shows, but you still have to have the voice.

Happy New Year to you.
Hold on to Memories always has me bawling. That and The Light.
I agree on the "Down with the sickness" but make sure you listen to the whole uncut version.
The S&G version is beautiful, but they take it in a more "pleading" direction. Draiman brings a note of anger in his performance. It's a perfect way to take the exact same song, but emphasize something slightly different to make it your own. It speaks to the power of the song that there are multiple, valid ways to perform it.
Hold onto memories definitely
What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: ua-cam.com/video/P-KdPsT-9UU/v-deo.html Very well done!
Singing with rage and maintaining crystal clear control was fascinating and haunting and brought me right in front of God. What power!😊
I've watched "most" reaction video's to this live version of Disturbed Sound of Silence, and this is possibly the best! Love hearing the technique behind the amazing voices.
The visuals in the music video takes his performance even further. A must see.
Baby Girl…..76 yr old MeeMaw here. You have GOT to watch the video that has stormed the internet here recently. I was blown….away. The graphics in the video along with his voice……….. yeah…….. blew me away. Look it up!!
Stormed the Internet?Well only almost reaching ONE BILLION views,someone quoted 970 Million views❤❤❤❤
Simon himself gave Disturbed’s version his stamp of approval.
FINALLY HAVE FOUND THE BEST VOICE REACTOR ON UA-cam much love from SOUTH AFRICA baie dankie
I absolutely loved that....he looks menacingly calm
Not listened to Disturbed in a decade or more. Nice to know he can sing really nicely. Great vocal dissection too. No other vocal coaches come close.
Darkness. Last song, second album. 2002.
And this was him on a bad day - he actually had the flu during this performance.
My favourite analysis of this performance
David Draiman has unbelievable vocal control....amazing!! A powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do and he makes it look so damn easy! He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before........just hauntingly beautiful and pure tonal properties to it! An awesome talent. Loved your reaction and your take on the performance.
I didn’t see any more professional vocal couch in the whole internet 👍👍👍 bravo 🎉
I love how you can mimic almost any technique! That high growl scream thing scared the crap out of me lol
I was looking at comments and kind of listening to her towards the end of the video and when she did this I thought, "WTF was that!"
Now you know why this has been watched hundreds of millions of times maybe a billion by now
The great thing about watching vocal coach reactions to masterpieces such as this one is that each of you picks out a different aspect of the song/technique to focus on. I've learned so much just watching Disturbed and Jinjer reaction videos! Great reaction! But you haven't truly experienced Disturbed until you get to "Down with the Sickness!"
This woman is amazing at what she does. If i could have anyone train me, it would be her.
I think that most people would miss her greatness for lack of a better word.
Very special woman!
OMG! That demonstration of the “tongue manipulation” was fantastic. The overtones popped - it was almost Throat-Singing-esque.
Fun fact. His aunt made him take voice lessons as a child. That's how he did "scream" music (I LOVE old school disturbed btw). When I first head this song (original by Simon n Garfunkel) I teared up. This is the calmest he EVER sang n it brought chills and tears. I felt this song touched me in a way music is meant to but doesn't really do anymore today. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING cover and def on my everyday playlist!
If you have not seen the official video it is a must. I love the energy you put into your reactions
Your analysis is so unique and spot on, you explain phonemes and technique so well that i actually know exactly what you are saying without having any real education on vocals
I didn't start liking this cover until I heard this live performance. It's so damn impressive that his live performance is actually a bit better than the studio version.
HELLO GORGEOUS!! 💜 I do so hope you enjoyed my analysis of Disturbed!

Love your vocal analysis, reactions and passion for amazing voices! Time for me to find my way to your Patreon I think :)
Love your videos! If you're down to listen to something special and different, you should check out Tyler Childers (I suggest the song Lady May, he has a really good live version here ua-cam.com/video/tiwJadn-Nso/v-deo.html).
Love your reactions. Very insightful and very entertaining!
You should also react to the music video of this song. The production is phenomenal and the video they created adds a beautiful component to the rendition
Hellooooooo!!! :)
Spiritbox just released 3 new ones, please, please react to Hysteria!!
😍💐😘
"I'm going to watch this at least fifty more times!" Hahahahaha! I've listened and watched so many times I've almost made a career out of it. Mr. David Draiman is flawless here - at least for me, though I'm no expert by any means. I really enjoyed your honest reaction and the pointers you gave. This is the best cover ever, for me!
Not even flawless I’m this performance as he was incredibly sick before this performance
@@jasondamrau9147 Yep! I too have heard he was extremely sick during this performance. Saying that, it's amazing to me that he was flawless. No flaws whatsoever.
I'm obsessed too. The video for this song is also a must see.
Your excitement at the size of his neck, totally made my night! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have absolutely subscribed. LOL. I adore you already.
I’ve seen a lot of reaction videos to this song. Yours is one of my favorite. You’re so excited, and you explain singing so well.
You provide bar none the best reaction videos I've ever watched. They are in depth yet accessible, authentic, informative, and enlightening. Thank You.
I was so happy to stumble across this tonight. This is my favorite cover of all time and I still get goosebumps after the thousandth time listening to it. Best of all was hearing it on your channel, as you are by far the most interesting, knowledgeable, and talented expert out there. Thank you!!
So glad you enjoyed the video.... best cover ever done... Even Paul Simone loved it... put it on his web page. David has had extensive training over the years... even sick as he was at that performance... it was breathtakingly beautiful.
By the way.... am an 81 yr old grandma.... who loves Disturbed ❤
And am now a fan of yours. Have watched many reaction videos... I like your style young lady... so Will be visiting you again soon!
I hope you also watch the official music video of this song, even if you don't react to it, so you can see the difference. The visuals are haunting. Sound of Silence was the first time I heard of Disturbed so I was shocked when I listened to another song of theirs, Down With the Sickness, and realized they are a metal band. Totally different sound. Take a listen if you haven't already. I always appreciate what I learn when I watch your reactions. Thanks!
My favorite vocal coach reaction channel. You combine great explanations with stunning demonstration. There are definitely some vocal coaches who never sing in their videos, or when they sing it's not that impressive. Your voice blows me away. I've watched a bunch of your other videos and didn't know you could do distortion like that until today.
As impressive as this performance is, once you know he was sick and running a fever at the time makes all the more amazing.
I think your discussion on technique was the best I have heard in these reaction videos by other voice coaches and such. Very nice.
David is one of the best metal singers at the moment, he can manipulate his voice as he needs to, glad you loved it
David Draiman has one of the coolest voices in rock from the early 2000s. I got to see Disturbed in small auditorium and it was amazingly intimate and kicked ass! They took several 70/80s tunes and rocked them out. They did this one that was originally Simon and Garfunkel. They did Shout by Tears of Fears. And they did Land of Confusion by Genesis. And they did them justice.
So happy you reacted to this. Disturbed has been my favorite for many years. David was trained as a cantor in his youth, and it really gives him a very unique sound. The fact that he did this performance while sitting, and while sick, is just amazing.
My favorite song by Disturbed is 'Prayer' of their second album 'Believe'. Definitely worth a listen to get an idea of what his rasp and growl can really do when cut loose!
I literally go through that journey EVERY time I hear Disturbed's version. As you said "he knows what I want better than I do" - so very true. I appreciate your explanations and genuineness.
Not sure if youre a Disturbed fan or a hard rock fan for that matter, but if you EVER EVER EVER get a chance to see them in concert, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you see them !!! I've seen them 7 times and David's voice (and the rest of the band) gets better every time. Rock on.
I'm not sure if your playful analogy of these reaction videos is what keeps me coming back or the songs themselves. LOL, Your awesome!
I've watched a lot of reactions to this rather fabulous performance, and yours is my favourite.. you're really good at what you do. You get it and feel it and that's lovely to see, and your analysis and explanation is so astute and erudite.. You're clearly very skilled and knowledgeable in your craft. I will watch more. Thank you.
Oh I agree absolutely 🙂
I have watched so many reaction vid of this song & yours is one of the best, I laughed out loud & cried....because I cry every time I watch Disturbed perform this song. It's just so powerful.
Simon and Garfunkel were born to write this song and to carry it to be finally completed with David and his haunting powerful vocals delivering the song to us just the way it should’ve always been heard. The universe can be pretty serendipitous now then 😊
@OliveWhisperingEye although this is 1 year later 😂 I have to say you worded this so wonderfully I couldn't help but reply ❤
@@celianorris7042 Ty🙂
One of the things i like about this live stage version was the artistry. The song is basically in 5 parts, 1st is just david and the piano, 2nd verse they add in the acoustic guitar, 3rd verse they add in the entire string section, 4rt those big drums, 5th david really adds in the power and distorion for the crescendo. Each time the lighting brings those instrucments in when, also each time David raises the power of his voice. Just amazing.
One of my all time favorite covers of any song, period. It had been a while since I listened to it but got goosebumps as always. Just incredible.
Still gives goosebumps every time I hear him singing this. It’s so beautiful.
I have been reacting to your reactions for quite some time and, I must confess, they keep getting better each time. Aside from your spot on assessments of vocal techniques, laryngeal gymnastics and breath controls, your passionate enthusiasm of your craft is contagious. At times I have more fun watching the awe and excitement you project as you truly enjoy yourself than I do listening to the song itself. I find that unique and refreshing and I look forward to your next video. Please keep doing what you do best and have yourself a fantastic new year, Cheers.
Well said, I feel the same way.
Just came across this song. Yes, I've been under a rock. I LOVE how you explain the technical details. I like the "gravel," too.
You have to check out the live version they did in Houston with Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge) as a guest vocalist. The two of them combined is astounding
Dear essa linda canção com essa voz e com esse rasgado, Rasp é de deixar estonteada, um roqueiro realmente destrói tudo com essa distorção. Very Very amazing. Seu rosto e reações dizem tudo, é de ARREPIAR.👏👏👏😘😘😘🌹🌹
This is, by far, the most beautiful rendition!!!!
Before I watched people like you, I thought singers just opened their mouths and singing fell out. You were great to watch. This song as sung by him is incredible.
The live performance will leave you in wow 😮. The video will leave you in tears 😭. Both are truly amazing!
What a BRILLIANT reaction! I have watched at least a dozen by now and yours is by far the best
I've been a huge fan of Disturbed and their front man David Draiman for quite a while. I truly believe this is one of the greatest covers of a song ever. Even Paul Siman, the writer of the original song, has publicly said the song now belongs to Disturbed. If you're interested in hearing the band in all its glory, "Down with the Sickness" is an amazing journey of not only how David has mastered the vocal fry, but how quickly he can change between his singing voices. The band also does a song called "Hold on to Memories". It displays David's very pure voice. Thanks for the amazing video.
I go on a binge and watch reaction videos to this song. I love watching people react to this performance for the first time. I get emotional everytime I watch this performance.
All other youtubers who do musical reaction/analysis videos should aspire to be as good as you, as you are truly knowledgeable about what goes on in these videos and are insanely entertaining to watch as well. You also have a gorgeous voice as well to back up what you say! Please keep making more content!
Your analysis was absolutely delightful! TY! From a 60s child! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊
This versions is absolutely amazing - watched it so many times. And your input is so good - keep up the good work 😀
You are killing me and it’s only your second reaction I watched
Happy New Year to my fav youtube reactor lady person! This arrangement and version of Sound of Silence always gives me a shiver by the end. I think it brings home the lyrics even better than the original arrangement by S&G (which is lovely but less dynamic). Excellent neck girth discussion, too! Glad you didn't have to walk around with a pine cone on your head.
I have watched his video many, many times. I've spent maybe an hour at a time just playing this one as well as their official video. I love the official video because of the story they tell. A true piece of art.
I've watched way too many of these, and this is by far my favorite reaction to this song. Your explanations make sense - and I know absolutely nothing about singing. Your enthusiasm is so entertaining. I'm so glad I ran across this!
Times like this I want to gently caress the like button continuously. Thank you you so much for being on the Earth at this time Mother.
0:50 I’ve heard the sound of silence. I was hiking in North Carolina. We had 5 inches of snow the first night. Yet we woke in the morning and decided to continue. The second day of hiking, I had gone quite a ways in front of my buddies. So I pulled over for a cigarette break and found myself in complete and udder silence. I could hear the paper burning on my cigarette. After a few moments I could hear my heartbeat. A few moments after that I had slowed my breathing and heart rate. Finished my cigarette. And in the moments between breaths; I could hear the sound of silence. A perfectly still earth. 8 miles up a mountain. Snow covering everything in sight. No animals rustling.
Great reaction! Amazing cover of an amazing song… love, love, love disturbed.
I rarely laugh at UA-cam videos, but you are so goofy 🤣🥳 Also, you are really knowledgeable and I love your imitations. You seem to be able to copy any sound right away. That is impressive! 😊
Like many other have mentioned, being as sick as he wall and STILL sounded that freaking amazing, is absolutely mind blowing! Just recently come across some of your reaction videos. Your reactions and explanations are amazing. i am in no shape or form a singer but you explain things in a way that everyone can understand. The main reason I like your videos, is your absolute, unrestrained passion for the music that you listen to. I have that same feeling when I listen to music. You are awesome! Thank you :)
I've been a huge Disturbed fan for a long while now, but when I heard David sing this song... omgoodness! I get chills every time. Not only is his voice so powerful in this, but he is gorgeous to feast me eyes upon. Just an fyi - David is trained as a hazzan (cantor). So yes, he has a lot of control over his vocals.
Totally agree with everything u said❤
Definitely my favorite song and I’ve listened to it so many times and it never gets old or fails to move me
Thanks for making me smile. Can always count on you. Know what you're talking about and funny as hell.
Excelent reaction video : funny, geeky and emotionnal. I love it. I was told he was very very sick for this performance, which give him even more credit. I just checked and their official music video has 773 millions vues! Now you're kinda bound to react to "down with the sickness", which is more of their usual music style... if you don't know it already. Otherwise, let me tell that nightwish and floor jansen have a little surprise for you in "yours is an empty hope".
One of my favourite dissections of this magnificent cover !
Happy new year Lolli🌹. This is a favourite song of mine and reacted to by my favourite reactor lady person
Happy new year gorgeous 💜 it is my great honour to be your favourite reactor lady person. I wish you the best of everything xo
Absolutely the best person to give us information of his sound and singing style and voice ,great job
I'm actually dying right now "That is a lot of tissue just waiting to be flapped"
You have so many quotable lines that just kill me!
I stumbled onto your channel recently and immediately knew that we should be friends!
Also I absolutely love hearing your analysis of all music. More Dimash (Ogni Pietra or Tired Love of Swans) and Pentatonix would always be
appreciated!
Best description you have provided that I can relate to! Thank you for sharing!
Informative and entertaining as always, thank you! I'd love to hear your reaction to Aurora's live recording of It Happened Quiet. Her connection to her music and her emotion is right up your alley, and there is also incredible backing vocals. Also a couple of fun vocal technique Easter eggs in that performance - watch for her hand placements helping her mouth shape, straight out of vocal coach drills. :)
There are a few different live performances of that song, but I think you probably mean the one she did live at The Current?
@@revangerang Yes, that's the one. One of my favorite live performances by any artist. ua-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/v-deo.html
@@gfloyd2002 Hell yeah. It’s sooo good 😌👌👌👌
When you said you’d probably listen to this 50 more times. I totally related to that as it was my exact reaction. I’ve listened to it over and over and over…you get it. And it never ceases to amaze and move me.
You’re such a fun and knowledgeable reactor. For another interesting up and coming vocalist in the clean/distortion game I would have to recommend Spiritbox // Circle With Me (Live vocal one take). Courtney is an animal.
Fairy godmother, you are best about this song. I have listened to many other people reacted to it. You are head and heel all of them
I'm glad you did this song, and it was a good performance, but David was sick when he went on the show and you could hear it in his voice at times. You need to watch the official video which has 772 million views. The visuals add so much dramatic depth to the meaning of the words and David was even better in it. When this was released Paul Simon, the original singer, called David and told him that the song now belonged to Disturbed. Pretty high complement to pay to someone who did a cover of your song. Love your reactions, keep them coming.
Loved your analysis, one of the best, David is a true master.
