Awesome reaction! Thanks for the mention too! Now that you've seen this, go listen to the PTX version and you'll see how it falls somewhere in between the original and the Disturbed version.
Yes!!!! Pentatonix has a great rendition also. My first time hearing this was Disturbed and love it. It's so beautiful. It's as though Disturbed warns us but PTX gives us hope. I like PTX better just because Im not really a fan of this genre ...except for slower ballads and such. But on a real note... For me it's a really close 2nd. The original is a classic but both Disturbed and PTX have upgraded this song.
I'm 78 years old. I've been listening to this over and over and watching the reactions of folks like you and yours is the BEST reaction I've seen yet. The words, the sounds, David's voice all show on your facial expressions. I get chills and even hold my breath every time I hear this. WOW It's fantastic.
I loved, loved, loved your reaction! The expression on your face when David started singing was priceless! Then when that grit came in you got excited! Awesome reaction. Thank you!
Im binge watching these Reaction videos, it is kinda the only way to hear it for the first time again. I can listen a million times. When he sings SILENCE LIKE A CANCER GROWS 😢 and TO THE NEON GOD THEY MADE...goosebumps every single time! The easy light feeling at the beginning and then tenor and then the fry...then ends it perfectly.
David Draiman...amazing range and control...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 . He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before.....just hauntingly beautiful ...one of the best male vocalists on the planet imho. Loved your reaction.
If a singer brings me to tears or if I get chills, then I'm moved. David's singing here brought both chills and tears for me. Wow, great reaction. Thank you.
It's been said many times before: The original Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel version was a warning about our technology becoming too important. Disturbed's version is the anger that the warning wasn't listened to. His not 'classical' but still very traditional training as a Jewish Temple Cantor really shines with a song like this. Another note, I could be wrong, but I seem to remember other professional singing coaches express their amazement that David Draiman is moving through 4 or 5 octaves in this song, and still hitting that rock vocal fry and metal grit.
Love your reaction man.. This is my absolute favorite song and no matter how many times I watch it and reaction video's I get chills ..cause if you dont .. are you even listening haha
Whoa this blew me away! Absolutely beautiful. His voice is so rich. I have always liked Disturbed but I never saw this performance. Thank you for reacting to this
Love the "official" video... imagery is great.... but this is my favorite... ❤ David and the band are So awesome. When Paul Simon heard "Disturbed's" version of his song... he put it on his web page. He loved it. Loved your reaction... hearing it the first time... wow It makes me teary-eyed every time I hear it. Thank you for the review of my favorite band❤
Great reaction! Now you should go watch the official music video for the stunning images they put together that really help communicate their vision of what this song means to them. You won't be sorry - it really is moving in a different way than this live, which is obviously glorious. You can react (many others have reacted to both) or just go see it for yourself. It's true art. David was trained as a cantor in the Jewish faith, which is where all this technique stems from. If you like this side of Disturbed, here are a few to try that are closer to this (their videos are typically beautifully put together and I recommend them, but that's a personal preference.)

Thank you lance for your recommendation. I enjoyed this so much! I will check out PTX version soon!

Thank you@@AprilG72271 I will make this a priority mission! I am loving PTX.
I personally don’t like the version Pentatonix did.
@@ShyAnn291 Sorry. I loved it!

Someone had commented that if God would sing this is how it would sound.
I loved, loved, loved your reaction! The expression on your face when David started singing was priceless! Then when that grit came in you got excited! Awesome reaction. Thank you!
I totally agree with you 😄

God: "Do you want the voice of an angel or demon?" David: "Yes, please"!!! His range, control and power are epic!!!
He has a galaxy voice ie: smooth af xxxx
Best cover of any song ever done. Left me crying the first time I heard it.

Es divinamente emocionante, toca el alma y la transforma. Solo con inigualable VOZ, Y ORQUESTA MARAVILLOSA. UNICOOOOOO
If a singer brings me to tears or if I get chills, then I'm moved. David's singing here brought both chills and tears for me. Wow, great reaction. Thank you.
And he was sick when he did this!

Disturbed has a cover of Hold on to Memories that will bring you to tears.

Your reactions, your face spoke volumes.
Lol! The expression on your face when David started singing was priceless! Awesome reaction. Thank you.
Thank you. I wasn't expecting that change and tone in his voice!
Epic performance! One for the ages!
Appropriate reaction! Been watching reactions to this for years. Enjoyed the appreciation for his talent in this one!
OMG! Your reaction was awesome! I felt the same way the first time I heard this!
Got to see Disturbed in Tampa in August and he sang this live. Chills. I knew all of their songs, but this was the one I looked forward to the most.
Love the "official" video... imagery is great.... but this is my favorite... ❤
David and the band are So awesome. When Paul Simon heard "Disturbed's" version of his song... he put it on his web page. He loved it.
Loved your reaction... hearing it the first time... wow
It makes me teary-eyed every time I hear it.
Thank you for the review of my favorite band❤

David was quite ill during this performance!!! Just wow!!
