Chester touched people in parts of the world where probably he never imagined people would listen to him. I am from Assam(India) and people of my age around me shedded tears when he passed away. What a beautiful soul he was ❤
Most of the covers though, are imitating Mongols from the mountains. It pisses me off. Chester used his rasp with his perfect clean belt, and those people just making it ugly
That second one was NOT a battle, they complimented each other so well!! Chester certainly can’t be replicated.. but these people honored his memory, no doubt
Blow away by that one. One of the harder songs to sing sing the refrain is just pure power. His growl went together with her so perfectly. Wish I could download it lol
Chester and linkin Park helped me through school when I was bullied and felt like an outcast. It saddened me so much when I learned of his passing. Truly one of the greatest talents of our generation. And will be deeply missed I will always remember where I was and what I was doing when I found out. Definitely a voice not easily replicated but they all did a great job with their renditions.
@@Lulu-ut9pv it's just heartbreaking that I never got to see them live and meet him in person. I always felt so close to them because their songs were relatable to any mood
hey!exctly the same story.Back then i understood lyrics completely differently as my English was not so good.Nowadays when i truly understand them-mate he would have helped me so much more.He is speaking about that pain like he is me.R.I.P Chester.
That cover was fantastic. He did amazing. Def his own flavor while still a faithful creation. I like that he didn't try too hard to do Chester's voice but also didn't do something totally different.
Chester had the angst the pain the anger that can't be replicated it has to be felt. It's like he went through all that trauma came to us helped us with our sorrows and then left
Its honestly incredible the influence and impact that Linkin Park has had on people all over the world thruout the years. The lyrics and feelings conveyed in their songs r so relatable to everyone in some way, shape, or form. I wonder if Chester ever truly knew how many strangers really connected with him and cared for him. His death is still mourned to this day by those he never even met.
Was a good cover. But that song when sung by Chester has way deeper pain and feeling. Not taking away from the singers talent, but their cover felt comfortable not painful.
@@brandenneal9006 Yeah, there's a big lack of emotion, the first part of the chorus is supposed to come deep in your stomach, like you are literally pulling out every single misdeed deep in your soul, there's gotta be pain in your voice, It just didn't sound like he was trying all that hard.
There's a reason you don't see many auditions with songs by certain artist, such as Adele, Linkin park. I like to think Chester's voice is too iconic that judges are thinking, "it was good, but it wasn't Chester." That's such a high bar to reach for.
@The quiet kid Linkin Park gains fans because of the success of Hybrid Theory and its mix of various genres, from Rap to Rock to Electronic, Numb has none of that, it's just generic Pop Rock, worst song on the album, Nobody Listen or Hit The Floor should have been singles instead of him. Meteora and consequently Numb gain success over the previous album, even though it is only a simplified and worsened version of it. Linkin Park never rehasped the Rock. They are far from being the first to do Rap Rock, bands like Run DMC, Faith No More, Public Enemy, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Rage Against the Machine have done it MUCH before, they are also not the first to put electronic sounds in the middle of rock. Just remember also that the band is still complete, only ONE of the vocalists died, so it doesn't make their success more impressive.
If The Voice here in the USA would have more singers and auditions like the overseas versions shown here do, I'd be likely to watch the show more. But alas, we're stuck with country and pop performances most of the time... 🙄
Two people that truly know how to sing with others. There's an skill to signing with others/groups and these two have it. You could tell that while they were supposed to be dueling, they were matching each other in a way that would be pleasant to everyone listening.
@foxhound13 Yeah even Chester had bad technique, we shouldn't be harsh against people who don't do it how Chester did it when he did it was with bad technique sounds different from how you do it and some prefer to do it their way anyway 😅. Although he did do vocal training after damaging his throat 😊.
That second clip had my jaw dropped. They were both absolutely fantastic. It’s almost like they forgot halfway through they were “battling” and just decided to nail a vocal duet perfectly. That was absolutely incredible. I had to watch it again I was that impressed.
I CAN'T BELIEVE no one turned for the last guy, Thoe Bormann!! What I've Done is such a hard song to cover but he did such a beautiful job and added some of his own personal touch to it. Loved it! Those judges were insane!
The battle round using Crawling was an awesome cover especially their individual takes on Chester's parts. Those 2 complemented each other. Shame someone had to be eliminated since this was a competition.
Chester indeed poured his heart and soul in his lyrics. Through time, you can see the hurt, the scars, the trauma and the start of a healing process...
When I was listening to LP as a teenager, I think I didn't fully understand how deep the lyrics were. Now, as a grown man and Chester being gone, I can't listen to à single LP song without earing the cry for help that these songs were...
Tears falling in my eyes, while remembering chester.. He is a big part of my childhood.. Influenced me so much in terms of playing music.. RIP chester... 😔😔😔
The most peculiar thing about all these covers i have seen is that no one ever replicates Chester. His voice and talent were so unique, it's not even once in a lifetime, it's like once in a world history. Chester was so good that just getting "kind of close" is an achievement. No one expects you to actually do the impossible and nail it. 9 months since I made this comment and people are still reading it and being affected by it. That's super cool! To the people that say cover-artists are not supposed to replicate the exact voice, but put their own spin on a song. This is of course a matter of opinion, since many cover artist DO try to replicate the original and are succesfull doing it. However, my point was not that cover artists should try to replicate Chester. It was simply that even the cover artist that DO try to replicate it (there are a bunch) only ever "gets kind of close".
There are tons of people that can replicate Chester. You just need to find Americans. Americans tend to be the best at singing songs in english. Robert Plant was thought to have one of the best voices in 70s rock and couldn't be replicated until Josh Kiszka from Greta Van Fleet came around.
Agreed. Everyone on this video is so cringy. If you can't hit the notes, or at least get close you should perform the song. Otherwise you're shitting on his grave.
Chester's voice is so crazy when you break it down. It's like 2 voices complimenting each other coming out of the body at the same time. Adam Gontier I would argue has just as unique voice when it comes to the ranges with 2 tones in a single voice.
Chester Bennington was a vocal master that can pierce the toughest of hearts in a time where you need hope the most. I still get sad knowing that he will never grace us with his voice again. He stood for so much with who he was as a person that can never be compared to by anyone other than the members of Linkin Park themselves. "Music for relief" is just one example. May his soul live on forever in the hearts of many.
I completely think as u I want to add that I used to listened LP when I was depressed Now when I hear breaking the habit I cry , every time I heard it, because remembered me 2 things, chester and obviously how I beat the depression Ty chester
Chester is insuperable ... he could touch our hearts with his voice and he still does through his legacy . One of the darkest days for the music the day he left us . May his soul R.I.P. We thank you legend .
Freddie Mercury & Chester are 2 choices that will never be back on earth, such unique tones and power... it's once in a century, or once in the history
Classic generic comment talking about Chester and Freddie Mercury as the best singers, but I say they are not all that, not even close to what they say, they are overrated because they died, and that's it. There are MUCH better singers than them, singers alive and dead, like Mike Shinoda himself (he doesn't scream well, but he sings better and with more emotion, see No Roads Left for example) Scott Weiland, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, Serj Talakian ( I must have spelled it wrong), Corey Taylor (this guy is like Mike and Chester together, see Spit It Out and Duality for an example), and probably the best and most versatile vocalist in history, Mike Patton, this guy has done since Rap and Metal to Italian music, he reached 6 octaves (Freddie only reached 4, and Chester 3 if I'm not mistaken), changed voice all the time (see Stripsearch and Midlife Crisos for an idea), it was AMAZING in live performances and it was really funny, he just wasn't good with lyrics, at least on The Real Thing. Speaking of live performances, Chester wasn't that good at them, he has some DEPLORABLE performances, especially several Faint and 2017 performances.
@@tiojoao5415 you also forgot Tatiana Shmailyuk from Jinjer Someone who one moment can clean vokal and then Switch to death growl and then effordless switch back to clean, is a rare talent.. And it just seem to Come so dame natural to her..
Probably the first time I legitimately cried at a cover of Numb. This man brought so much passion and love to his performance and it's just so beautiful to see and hear.
The guy kinda brought it down a bit for me. But for sure the moments where they alternate one of them singing and the other screaming were done really well, especially as the other commentator mentioned that insecure part at the end
Linkin Park is one of the most influential bands of all time. I don’t think there’s a single person from Gen-Z who hasn’t been touched by their music. It was our own private therapy. They voiced our emotions, all of our pain, our regrets, our shortcomings, and our uncertainties. RIP Chester Bennington. Another great voice taken from us too soon.
I feel the 1st singer is the closest manage to hit the “growl” den back to a normal high pitch notes.. very good vocal controls.. and he can sing with his eyes open.. meaning its natural for him while singing with eyes close like for some of the other contestants means its like they are trying to mimic chester’s voice as close as they can to impress the judges..for a competition or even performing live is important as eye contact is where the singer connect with his audience
As someone who has done "Don't Stay" for a local talent show, fry is hard, and if you don't do it right, you'll be feeling it for weeks if not years if you fuck up enough.
I love hearing their songs sang in other countries. It's amazing to me to see the love Linkin Park still has by people and music critics all over the world.
Damn that shadow of the day cover just brought out a tear. He was so damn good. I’m pretty proud of my singing ability but damn he was great too. I need his full version of the song
They all sound great but it just goes to show that chester was one of a kind...nobody can replicate the magic he brought to these songs. RIP Chester....You are missed by so many of us
It’s so cool to hear the difference in the first guy before vs after he got a chair turned. You could tell he was holding it back then after chair 1 and 2 turned he really let it rip!! Great power and control!
The duet was freaking good, some small mistakes in lyrics, but English isn't their first language, well done complementing each other like they did, and Shadow of the Day is also phenomenal
@@alexbowler9728 the guys vocals were spot on his growls need a little work if he wants them to sound like Chester's, but as for individuality it was good.
When I read it was a duet I was wondering how they were gonna do it, but using the chorus of the Reanimation version with the extra harmonies made so much sense and it worked SO well for them.
Good that people want to try their own ways of singing Linkin Park classics, but no one will ever match or beat Chesters power screams and his ability to switch between this and his angelic voice. God bless you Chester, you are missed worldwide everyday!! 🙏
Yeah same wishes I had as well but Chester didn't give us opportunity to witness him live!! He was too early... May his Soul rest in peace! A voice disappeared which can't be replicate! ❤️From Assam
That Crawling gives me a minute of goosebumps. First time happens in my life having goosebumps all trough out my body and it really last for a minute I'm just sad why no one turn in the last performance in this video the man really nailed it.
A little too much of a karaoke performance for the judges, though the little deviation at the end could've given him a chance. The judges, most of all, are looking for those who can keep the essence of a song while making it sound like their own work.
Chester, you will be in the hearts of many youths. I am a Thai person who has listened to your songs since I was 10 years old until now I am 32 years old. I still listen to your music forever and ever LP.🙏🤟🇹🇭
His music always gives me goosebumps. Just wanna thank him for all the memories he has given us. RIP Chester. Words can't describe how much we all miss you
because he chose the wrong song i think... he tried toward to end to put some variance in the melodies to showcase a bit more of his voice which is what your blind audition is all about. thats why numb refrain 1, chorus, bridge and chorus ending makes such a great song. there's a showcase of dynamics and vocal reach all in a short performance.
He has a great tone, but he lowered the song a full step even though this is one of the easier Linkin Park songs range wise to sing in the original key..I think they judged him harshly for that
4th and 5th one are the absolute best for me. Considering the emotion behind those songs that they both were able to express in their own way, what they did is fickin' rare especially with the kind of cover artists we have today.
They lack the rasp of the voice. Not bad but if you basically take away what his signature voice was, isnt that much of a cover more than a remaster of sorts
The first guy is the only guy that sounded similar to Chester, especially at 1:05-1:24 the rest aren't close to Chester's voice compared to the first guy.
Agreed, i dont like it when a coverer trying to imitte the real singer, i mean,if i want to listen to the song with original singer voice with original arrangement, i didnt to listen to a cover but just listen to the original song right. Sorry for my english
I truly appreciate the effort these singers put into the songs but the voice of Chester can never be copied, he sung like an angel but screamed like a demon. RIP Chester gone but never forgotten.

Shadow of the day ❤️
What I've done was so great 👏❤️
What ive done
Numb, Nikola
First guy! Last guy was good too. He had more of a Pearl Jam vibe, so he definitely should have been appreciated!
Chester touched people in parts of the world where probably he never imagined people would listen to him. I am from Assam(India) and people of my age around me shedded tears when he passed away. What a beautiful soul he was ❤
Chester in our hearts bro!
Yep, you're right👍
Hoi neki?
Jokes aside, you're right.
Most of the covers though, are imitating Mongols from the mountains. It pisses me off. Chester used his rasp with his perfect clean belt, and those people just making it ugly
Yes Bro He lives in Indians heart
When the first guy hit those rasp parts perfectly, I was super impressed. Bravo.
He sang it effortlessly
Autotune.
Yeah at first i was like eh. But then he summoned the power of Chester and I was like hot damn this fucker nailed it! Bravo.
@@patricknelson you deserve a million dislikes
Gave me chills for sure

Felt like a concert
Their harmony was so beautiful!
Right!? They elevated the song to a different level! That harmony in that chorus was marvelous.
I agree. But the guy didn't get the lyrics right at all
Guy who did Shadow of the day was on point. Deserved more. RIP Chester, your voice and message is ageless. ❤
He was the best one it's a shame lol
Exactly😢
They where all good. But man no one can ever do it like Chester. Iam blessed to have grown in the LP music. RIP
The guy who did "Shadow of the Day" deserved more than just one chair turn.
That made my whole year
yeah he definitely did!
could have been late in the selection process, when judges become abit more picky about their final slots.
I agree, but I would put him in the 2nd place out of these 5, because I felt like I needed to hear a little more than what he sang.
I agree, that was really clean.
Chester and linkin Park helped me through school when I was bullied and felt like an outcast.
It saddened me so much when I learned of his passing. Truly one of the greatest talents of our generation. And will be deeply missed
I will always remember where I was and what I was doing when I found out.
Definitely a voice not easily replicated but they all did a great job with their renditions.
I know how you feel, I was viciously bullied and this music helped me
@@Lulu-ut9pv it's just heartbreaking that I never got to see them live and meet him in person. I always felt so close to them because their songs were relatable to any mood

Chester help all kid/teen from bullying all over the world. R.I.P my saver.
Glad you got through it. You’re not alone. 👊
The gentleman who covered “shadow of the day” just…wow. The way he sang, he understands the song. Goosebumps. Flipping amazing.
Instant tears for me, Chester helped bring me through those teens years.
That cover was fantastic. He did amazing. Def his own flavor while still a faithful creation. I like that he didn't try too hard to do Chester's voice but also didn't do something totally different.
agreed fully
His cover like "Shadow of the day" in "The Messenger" style, but I love that
He nailed it
Chester’s Voice tone was unique no one is even close to compare him
My God that Shadow of the Day cover was soo good. That man felt that song down to the chord.
Agreed…..
The later end was actually good but his starting point wasn’t high enough…
He was definitely the best.. imo
Its hard to cover lyrics by Chester. He had a truly unique voice. Hence why Linkin Park will never be the same.
There is no Chester ever…. I feel this comment
True😭
Chester had the angst the pain the anger that can't be replicated it has to be felt. It's like he went through all that trauma came to us helped us with our sorrows and then left
Agreed. Chester had such a unique voice, no one will ever replace him.
Agree...
The guy who sang “shadow of the day” really gave me goosebumps 😱
He hit so many of the right notes
I dont care its 6 months ago, the same feeling all over again my brother.
Agree, don`t know why only one of judges pressed the button
Greatest clip in the whole video.
That's easy song
Its honestly incredible the influence and impact that Linkin Park has had on people all over the world thruout the years. The lyrics and feelings conveyed in their songs r so relatable to everyone in some way, shape, or form. I wonder if Chester ever truly knew how many strangers really connected with him and cared for him. His death is still mourned to this day by those he never even met.
Theo, the last guy, was AMAZING. Why none of the judges picked him will forever remain a mystery to me.
He was simply out of their league....
yes - it didn't seem right! wonder what they were thinking, he did a fantastic job
probably didn't like the type of music he picked, bullshit
I think maybe judges need to hear some others than power
Agree...this guy is good.. And pure.
That last guy was fantastic! I can't believe no one turned around. He doesn't sound like Chester, but his voice alone was beautiful.
I didn't really like him, he sounded generic
Was a good cover. But that song when sung by Chester has way deeper pain and feeling. Not taking away from the singers talent, but their cover felt comfortable not painful.
His voice sounds exactly like Jonathan Davis from Korn tho.
He sounded like Seven Mary Three, or maybe Shinedown... great voice!

@@d3v3n_51ngh "any of the iconic ones"... this comment doesn't make any sense, Mike and Chester's best performances are on unknown songs and demos
All great performances, but this proves that there will never be another like Chester…..RIP to the GREATEST…
That duet of Crawling (second clip) absolutely gave me chills. Those 2 had amazing stage chemistry too.
I felt the same thing
If The Voice here in the USA would have more singers and auditions like the overseas versions shown here do, I'd be likely to watch the show more. But alas, we're stuck with country and pop performances most of the time...

@@dawnz909 Sad but true.
Same
That first guy has a phenomenal voice, it's really hard and unusual to have such a smooth control of your voice while having that rasp
And he didn’t look like he was hurting himself to do it.
@foxhound13 Yeah even Chester had bad technique, we shouldn't be harsh against people who don't do it how Chester did it when he did it was with bad technique sounds different from how you do it and some prefer to do it their way anyway 😅. Although he did do vocal training after damaging his throat 😊.
I thought the first guy did great, you could really hear his energy pickup once the chairs started turning
@@bygtymrI agree with you, he sings better than Emily (in my view) 😢
That second clip had my jaw dropped. They were both absolutely fantastic. It’s almost like they forgot halfway through they were “battling” and just decided to nail a vocal duet perfectly. That was absolutely incredible. I had to watch it again I was that impressed.
They were incredible together
the second one was as if Creed sang the song. Wasn't a fan of the dude but the chick absolutely killed it
Second clip was astounding how could you pick from between them
Man, seriously? … sucked
Yeah looked liked they planned it
This rendition of Crawling was just amazing.
💯 I had goosebumps everywhere!
It's based on "Krwlng" from Reanimation
That was no Crawling duel, that was a DUET!! They were performing as if they were running the show!! IMPRESSIVE!!
The first contestant made me cry when he reached that part in bridge when he says "and I know" because he sounded so much like our Chester 😭😭😭
True😇
100%
Same here. The way he nailed it at 1:05
same.. goosebumps
Same here!
Mark and Stefanie completely killed crawling, the contrast between their voices was absolutely insane
Sounded like the version of crawling from the Reanimation album
OMG yes, spine tingling and beautiful. absolutely loved each of them but combined it was something even better
She sounded awesome , but him.... not that good, even tho it was a contrast , he just didn't git there 😮, im sorry had to say it
That shouldnt even be a contest, thats a performance alone.
I liked Mark but Stefanie utterly destroyed him in that battle
The shadow of decay dude was the best of them all. The other judges didn't even comprehend the greatness of that performance.
The shadow of the day is just incredible. Gives shivers
I miss Chester. His music will forever hold a place in my heart that can never be explained
First guy was the closest to Chester with rasp and tone honestly. He did an excellent job covering Numb
You can say that again 👍
Hard agreed. I even skipped a couple
Wow!!!
Check the Tribute Band: "Hibrid Theory". It's the closest i've seen to Chester
True the first one rocks \m/ the rest of em did poorly.
D’écouter ça me met la chair de poule 😮
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I CAN'T BELIEVE no one turned for the last guy, Thoe Bormann!! What I've Done is such a hard song to cover but he did such a beautiful job and added some of his own personal touch to it. Loved it! Those judges were insane!
I agree. He did a fantastic job with that song.
Did way better than the guy from Slovakia if I am not mistaken
Unfortunately his high notes weren't hitting.
For reals...
I was dumbfounded...
I loved the last two the most tbh and they had the least amount of chair turns like seriously what kind of judges were they performing for
06:50 the judges did him dirty there. That cover of Shadow of the Day was fantastic!
Fcts
And the person who sang what I’ve done… should’ve gotten at least 3 people saying “I want you”
Judges don't know what real talent is
The battle round using Crawling was an awesome cover especially their individual takes on Chester's parts. Those 2 complemented each other. Shame someone had to be eliminated since this was a competition.
Hearing covers shows how unique and special Chester was
Every Linkin Park songs sounds actually like a reflection of Chester's struggle mind...RIP Chester..may you find peace in the after life
Yes, the pain he released into the music... Every OUNCE of pain, that's how he stayed sane.
Chester indeed poured his heart and soul in his lyrics. Through time, you can see the hurt, the scars, the trauma and the start of a healing process...
When I was listening to LP as a teenager, I think I didn't fully understand how deep the lyrics were. Now, as a grown man and Chester being gone, I can't listen to à single LP song without earing the cry for help that these songs were...

Facts

Same here brother, Cherish the music and moments
A huge part!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺
The battle was really awesome. Their voices complemented each other so well and made it great.
They were shit.
Chester would be so proud
honors of saying i watched it on tv 💙
Chris cornell harmonize those lines.. rip both legends

Classic generic comment talking about Chester and Freddie Mercury as the best singers, but I say they are not all that, not even close to what they say, they are overrated because they died, and that's it. There are MUCH better singers than them, singers alive and dead, like Mike Shinoda himself (he doesn't scream well, but he sings better and with more emotion, see No Roads Left for example) Scott Weiland, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, Serj Talakian ( I must have spelled it wrong), Corey Taylor (this guy is like Mike and Chester together, see Spit It Out and Duality for an example), and probably the best and most versatile vocalist in history, Mike Patton, this guy has done since Rap and Metal to Italian music, he reached 6 octaves (Freddie only reached 4, and Chester 3 if I'm not mistaken), changed voice all the time (see Stripsearch and Midlife Crisos for an idea), it was AMAZING in live performances and it was really funny, he just wasn't good with lyrics, at least on The Real Thing. Speaking of live performances, Chester wasn't that good at them, he has some DEPLORABLE performances, especially several Faint and 2017 performances.
And MJ also
@@tiojoao5415 oh tio vai dormir um sono
Completely agree.
@@tiojoao5415 you also forgot Tatiana Shmailyuk from Jinjer
Someone who one moment can clean vokal and then Switch to death growl and then effordless switch back to clean, is a rare talent..
And it just seem to Come so dame natural to her..
To me this shows how hard of a band Linkin Park is to cover. Just damn impressive. RIP Chester❤
7:06 this is one of my favourite linkin park songs and to me this is the only cover that actually did the original it’s due justice
Probably the first time I legitimately cried at a cover of Numb. This man brought so much passion and love to his performance and it's just so beautiful to see and hear.
There's a tribute band called Hybrid Theory. They are the closest I have seen... It's awesome!
Nikola zdravkov
Both of them did.
That duet in the second clip is one of the best live covers I’ve ever seen. Absolutely amazing
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yeah right ??? That was incredible synergy 🔥🔥🔥
When he did that first scream when he says “insecure”. I was like “OH SHIIIIIT!🤘🏼🔥
I kinda thought it was aweful
The guy kinda brought it down a bit for me. But for sure the moments where they alternate one of them singing and the other screaming were done really well, especially as the other commentator mentioned that insecure part at the end
The first guy and the last guy did such a amazing job. Blew me away that non of the judges pressed the button with the last guy.
Fr
the last guy was really good. So sad
that proves that the judge is trash that last guy was rly good
@@justanoldsnufkin9747 He sounds like Metallica covered LP.
The last guy had a country accent
He is looking down, smiling so much talent we his fans wish he was still here
The shadow of the day cover was amazing. Emotion straight from the heart, he feels those lyrics in every fiber of his being
The first guy was really impressive
No kidding
What is his name?
Nikola Zdravkov
I agree. His voice is so clean for a Linkin park song where you can repeat his act over and over.
01:03 this guy is the closest to Chester's Voice I've heard.....
So true, from this part on he crushed it!
Check out "Halocene - Given Up" cover.
@@GustavoDepicoli i know right !??
i give this to my friend, hear it with his eyes closed, he thought that was Linkin Park Live at Concert
Yaaaaaaaa forreal
Seriously :’( I thought he was lip syncing for a second
That first cover was bloody amazing. Reminded me a lot of Chester. And the last guy, my god.
And didn't get a chair, but they clapped. So, stupid.
Linkin Park is the best band ever. The lyrics, the singing and rapping, and the truly amazing music videos and great concerts just blow my mind.
Nope, Beatles best bands of History
@@LanceGeorge-j7s omg the beatles are the worst comparing beatles to linkin Park is like comparing broccoli to pizza or an ant to an elephant
@@bananaduck3313 and the Beatles is 70% ass
@@Zaevia so trye
No
Shadow of the Day guy deserved a lot more love bro
I loved his performance it was so smooth
Agree bro
I get goosebumps every time I hear a Linkin Park song. Rest in Peace Chester Bennington.
The sudden start of crawling will always get me
The second duo should form a group together.
Their voices/styles compliment each other so well!
Definitely! Both voices are heavy hitting, but they just need to practice more and learn the lyrics
They were great but it took two people just to get even close to Chester Bennington.
Linkin Park is one of the most influential bands of all time. I don’t think there’s a single person from Gen-Z who hasn’t been touched by their music. It was our own private therapy. They voiced our emotions, all of our pain, our regrets, our shortcomings, and our uncertainties. RIP Chester Bennington. Another great voice taken from us too soon.
The majority of Gen Z is a bit young for LinkedIn Park I'd think. I think it's primarily the younger millennials who listened to them.
@@dianarusnov292 I'm was born in 2000, and I don't know a person my age that wasn't raised with their song
@@dianarusnov292 as a young millennial i can definitely attest that this group had a powerful impact on our generation
Them and halestorm.... two bands that literally saved my life
Gen Y*
1:05 He got possesed by Chester. 🇧🇬
That was good actually
Agreed
I really love linkin park.. missing Chester so much..
The 4th guy literally gave me goosebumps. He deserved better.
I feel the 1st singer is the closest manage to hit the “growl” den back to a normal high pitch notes.. very good vocal controls.. and he can sing with his eyes open.. meaning its natural for him while singing with eyes close like for some of the other contestants means its like they are trying to mimic chester’s voice as close as they can to impress the judges..for a competition or even performing live is important as eye contact is where the singer connect with his audience
Right he had the fry sounding scream going pretty well
Imagine you sing in front of your friends with eyes closed, and when you finish the song you open your eyes they're gone..
As someone who has done "Don't Stay" for a local talent show, fry is hard, and if you don't do it right, you'll be feeling it for weeks if not years if you fuck up enough.
I’ve watched a live performance of Chester singing What I’ve Done, and his eyes were closed throughout the entire song.
@@saifkettana probably still learning techniques to that day and had to focus
Chester has always been the best rock singer and has always had the best voice for rock and alternative songs.
First one was the best, wow that performance of Numb was so good. That performance of Shadow of the Day was incredible too.
I love hearing their songs sang in other countries. It's amazing to me to see the love Linkin Park still has by people and music critics all over the world.
Damn that shadow of the day cover just brought out a tear. He was so damn good. I’m pretty proud of my singing ability but damn he was great too. I need his full version of the song
They all sound great but it just goes to show that chester was one of a kind...nobody can replicate the magic he brought to these songs. RIP Chester....You are missed by so many of us
1:04 to 1:12 This is probably the closest to Chester's voice I've ever heard, it gives me goosebumps.
Literally. These people in the comments are deaf
He ain’t Chester obviously, but it’s not far off
@@CrazyPanda688 absolutely, especially when he says "And i know..." it was so deep.
It’s so cool to hear the difference in the first guy before vs after he got a chair turned. You could tell he was holding it back then after chair 1 and 2 turned he really let it rip!! Great power and control!
The duet was freaking good, some small mistakes in lyrics, but English isn't their first language, well done complementing each other like they did, and Shadow of the Day is also phenomenal
Gotta go with the woman in that bout
Loved it, especially her
That battle of Crawling, goddamn it sounded fucking amazing
Legit brought me to tears! It was that powerful lmao
look up crawling duel with the lead singer of sound garden. sadly they both hung themselves
I had the chills the whole time
@@whitestripe1854 lol I was definitely high because you know I smoke😂 that don’t change that they did good bruh 💀 the girl wasn’t that good tho
@@alexbowler9728 the guys vocals were spot on his growls need a little work if he wants them to sound like Chester's, but as for individuality it was good.
The first one was the best. Amazing performance.
First two were my favorite. That duet was fkn amazing and the first guy screams just like Chester. Loved them all
The duet of mark and stefanie is such an eargasm. Especially on the chorus.. It just blends well.. 🙏
Who won?
When I read it was a duet I was wondering how they were gonna do it, but using the chorus of the Reanimation version with the extra harmonies made so much sense and it worked SO well for them.
Yeah, she carried it…. Mark sucked royally and didn’t even know the words. Native language or not. Learn the words.
The lighter register on some parts from Stefanie was so nice
Which version of the show was it on?
One of the best rock and roll/metal voice of time!! Rest in peace my friend chester, god have you with him in paradise, respect and love from México 👍
The first guy was kick ass!
1:04 Damn the spirit of Chester 🙂
yepp, thats so chester
Uncanny
darn right
Yea that dude nailed it going into the bridge
that’s incredible!
Good that people want to try their own ways of singing Linkin Park classics, but no one will ever match or beat Chesters power screams and his ability to switch between this and his angelic voice.
God bless you Chester, you are missed worldwide everyday!! 🙏
It's 2022, he is still ruling our hearts, I wished me & my daughter could have listened to him live. RIP master. WB India.
Ive seen him once live, what a show and what a brilliant performance. Ill bever forgot it, its the best ive ever seen
I wished that too, it’s a shame that will never happen…
Yeah same wishes I had as well but Chester didn't give us opportunity to witness him live!! He was too early... May his Soul rest in peace! A voice disappeared which can't be replicate! ❤️From Assam
One of my biggest regrets in life is not going to see them when I could’ve. RIP Chester you are missed more than you know !
Chester was a once in a lifetime singer. My heart still breaks whenever I think about him
That first guy, when he hit that bridge, that vocal fry was so insane! Very well executed, the guy has chops!
The first performer gave me goosebumps! RIP Chester!
There'll never be another Chester his voice was magnificent and unique no person can ever sound like him.I love you Chester forever ♥️♥️♥️♥️😢😭😲
That Crawling gives me a minute of goosebumps. First time happens in my life having goosebumps all trough out my body and it really last for a minute I'm just sad why no one turn in the last performance in this video the man really nailed it.
A little too much of a karaoke performance for the judges, though the little deviation at the end could've given him a chance. The judges, most of all, are looking for those who can keep the essence of a song while making it sound like their own work.
The fry scream and clean belt combo in Crawling had me tearing up a bit because of how good it sounded.
Chester, you will be in the hearts of many youths. I am a Thai person who has listened to your songs since I was 10 years old until now I am 32 years old. I still listen to your music forever and ever LP.🙏🤟🇹🇭
His music always gives me goosebumps. Just wanna thank him for all the memories he has given us. RIP Chester. Words can't describe how much we all miss you
1:05 es impresionante, logró llegar o igualar el tono de voz de Chester !
._.
Se le acerco demasiado muy genial.
La verdad es que si fue muy bueno, pero no creo que igualara a chester
me encrespo la piel, por un momento lo vi a el
La técnica papá, ese tipo sabe de técnica vocal 👏😎
The first guy was amazing. He literally channeled those screams.
That last guy killed it. How can the judges be that into the damn song and not push the button?
Anyway some great vocals here.
because he chose the wrong song i think... he tried toward to end to put some variance in the melodies to showcase a bit more of his voice which is what your blind audition is all about. thats why numb refrain 1, chorus, bridge and chorus ending makes such a great song. there's a showcase of dynamics and vocal reach all in a short performance.
He has a great tone, but he lowered the song a full step even though this is one of the easier Linkin Park songs range wise to sing in the original key..I think they judged him harshly for that
@@timothymichaelquinn1116 Yeah I could see that.
the 1st one will always have the special place in our heart, he's the only one got thay crispness of Chester
Oh man how i miss Chester what a inspiration he is to so many people its crazy. He was also so talented
Only chester!!!..such a unique voice....feel like no one can match... linkin Park got me thru some dark times.... awesome ppl giving it a go!🤙
4th and 5th one are the absolute best for me. Considering the emotion behind those songs that they both were able to express in their own way, what they did is fickin' rare especially with the kind of cover artists we have today.
I couldn't agree more. The rest were great but I felt the fourth and fifth really brought something special.
But the judges were soooo harsh
1 was very good
Not saying that any of these are "bad" but this just showcases how great Chester really was. He is unmatched
I didn't like any of them really
That’s what I always say. They’re good, but it puts in perspective how good Chester was. Perfection.
They lack the rasp of the voice.
Not bad but if you basically take away what his signature voice was, isnt that much of a cover more than a remaster of sorts
The first guy is the only guy that sounded similar to Chester, especially at 1:05-1:24 the rest aren't close to Chester's voice compared to the first guy.
The gentleman who sang “Shadow of the Day” really touched a special place in my heart.
They were all great the ultimate tribute to the legend
Perfect!!!! You don't have to sound like Chester. Just be yourself and sing it out loud!
Agreed, i dont like it when a coverer trying to imitte the real singer, i mean,if i want to listen to the song with original singer voice with original arrangement, i didnt to listen to a cover but just listen to the original song right. Sorry for my english
@@lubyricabt9639 That's right ! I agree with you 100%
and Chester would have been happy with that, we are sure! :)
the asian guy who sang "shadow of the day" was the best in my opinion
Hands down the best
Easily
True Brother! The song fits very much to him! So nice!
That fucker killed it lol
He killed it :D amazing
I truly appreciate the effort these singers put into the songs but the voice of Chester can never be copied, he sung like an angel but screamed like a demon. RIP Chester gone but never forgotten.
