The choir director did an awesome job just allowing him to be himself & sing & he did an awesome job leading the song
My children, my young people and dear director & musicians blesssssss the heart of yours u share w me ! 💕💕💕
I am a singer as well, but this young man sang so great, sing on my dear children, God hears you and so do I...
This song touches my heart every time I hear it I just pray that one day I will come back to this song and it still gives me the same feelings💕
Give me some great choral music with a modern interpretation and I'm sold everyday! That was magical!
Boy oh boy! Dude got some pipes and a message too! Bless God for talents! Woot woot Aeolians!
Oooh Lord! You are indeed the giver of good gifts! All Glory & Honour to you! Beautiful rendition!👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Victor my brother your only thoughts should be, was the Lord pleased with my worship? if your answer is yes, then that is enough. any one else who thinks otherwise, should take it up with the Lord. Thank you all for magnifying His name so beautifully.
Miz Kelo Well said because God Gets the Glory.
Hallelujah Glory to God.
OMG I FEEL SO SPECIAL! this choir is GIFTED and i got to serve them lunch and EAT LUNCH WITH THEM today @ my church...now to see them singing somwhere else it just makes me feel so happy..Praises be to God. this is a blessed choir :D
Get a grip 🙄
This is a masterclass rendition. If all the talent and components are there to execute and at the same time praise the Lord then by all means USE IT. Our talents are given to us at different levels and the AWESOMENESS OF GOD manifests itself when we use our given talent to its full capacity. Why should anything be reserved here? Thanks Oakwood.
Absolutely, this choir consistently performs at a professional level,, even though the singers are young students and membership constantly changing -- obviously a tribute to the amazing director.
Incredibly beautiful performance. I loved the way the soloist dismantled ev'rybody at the end. Priceless moment!!
Oh my life! Praise God for a saviour who looked beyond my faults indeed! Victor, you saaaaaaaaaaaaang that song bro, I'm proud of you! Keep up the good work!
I pray that when this young man views the negative comments made here by some of his "holy Christian brothers & sister" he does not go in a state of depression. We as a people should encourage and uplift persons when they are trying to do good, not hit them down because we are so "holy", & they are not living up to the "standard" - geez man, get over it and enjoy the rendition for what it is intended. Some a ya'll will cause folk to cuss
simply beautiful...
The whole purpose of Christ is the love God has for imperfect humans and addressed their needs. Firstly, to forgive sin and secondly to redeem those who realized their need for A SAVIOR and runs to Him in their sinful brokenness. May our Father continue too receive broken persons with a contrite spirit and heart. Save us Lord because we CANNOT SAVE OURSELVES. Wretched humans that we are!!
You know you are good when you crack yourself up doing your own runs....
The hour is late and my heart is heavy. I've been praying for the people in the path of Isaac and for my family and my concerns. I want to say thank you Aeolians and Mr Acquah for your beautiful rendition. I felt as though I was truly in the presence of Angels and being reassured that despite all my faults God sees my needs. Selah
Victor we still remember you and your star continues to shine brightly.
Ms.Mcleod x
brings tears to my eyes
Praise God for this choir and for this absolutely outstanding performance.
AMEN ❤️ ❣️ 🙏 AND AMEN ❤️ ❣️ 🙏
I met Victor. He's TOTALLY cool.
This song lift mine eyes to Calvary and how marvelous He is still in my eyes. Thank YOU JESUS for seeing my need. Amen
Just when you thought there will never be another countertenor like Ernie Saunders, we get this.Sometimes, it's the most beautiful thing when history repeats itself :)
I saw them live two weeks ago. They washed my soul, such a great choir
i like how vic kept his poise and composure while everyone was all :O :O :O
No one sings this like Marquita Richardson with the Aeolians. If you haven't heard her, get the CD, it will touch your heart and soul. Smooth and soulful.
Classical beast!!! Wow Victor.. Crazy range.that . It shows a lot about the musical director.
Simply beautiful. God is here!
Amen! This is what I needed!
Man, dude had girl crazy at 1:00. He is good, u guys continue to praise God! Keep up the good work!
Beautiful! Touched my heart!
That countertenor was sick I love it you better sang
Wow! Beautifully rendered...such great talent...quality singing!
Amazing song, amazing vocals.
superb. loves it when things are done beyond the usual, n it's quite humbling to b reassured God is unreserved. yet, still wondering and baffled by this presentation especially the lead soloist. wish I were part of this crew
Such a beautiful song.
Beautiful....
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
People think they know best if I make it to glory I can't wait to chuckle
Caught my falling soul 4:25 that desending chord is sweet!!!!!@#$%^&*

Cruzan

J'adore ...!
TO GOD!!! BE ALL! mm mm mm... OH MY, I felt that... whew!!!

Jesus, 5:08 when Victor hit that note.... My face looked just like that young lady's..... my oh my.

Where do you find singers like this? Wow!
Lol @ Christine's face.. But Vic killed it..
Sing Vic!
AMEN!
Ok it hit him watch out WON'T HE DO IT??? SANG CHOIR 😂😀😂😀😂😀😂😀😀😀
I think he and the others are just enjoying the song.
There are a lot of Dr.Carter's masterpieces... He does sound like Earnie...
não acredito que seja contra-tenos, acredito que seja um tenor altíssimo, com uma exensão estacular.......biblicamente falando as coisas loucas para envergonhar as sábias, nunca desmerecer o mérito da voz e do cantor, acredito no meu parco conhecimento que seja uma tenor altíssimo, mas vale.
Can someone put "HE'S IN THE ROOM" on my list here..its by Aeolians..thx
luv the soprano part 5:07
LOL @ 2:20 - da girl's face @ "falling soul"
I read through most of your comments & agree with much of what you're saying; you're actually dead on. However, @ the end of the video, who did they applaud. If it were really to the glory of God, why didn't the church just say "Amen" in agreement to Victors way of praise. I've watched many performances by this choir & I've never b4 seen not only the church get up & cheer as they did here, but the choir as well. Moses is our key example of how easily we can lose out on reaching the promise land.
Why can’t we just appreciate the talent that God has given His children to sing to His glory. Why all this judgment and criticism. Just be happy that they are singing about Jesus period. All the debate and concern of amen and clapping leave it to God to discern. Christians get caught up in unnecessary detail which can be very discouraging and stressful for others. Just enjoy the music let it lead you to a place of worship and admiration as opposed to jealousy because that’s how all the naysayers sound like. If your not jealous then you sound like it so stop. People need to me more concerned about the details in their lives that’s preventing them from getting to heaven as opposed to unnecessary judgement that will make them loose out on the future glory that is awaiting the saints of God. Whatever is pure, good, holy think on those things and leave criticism to Satan (the accuser ) and his friends.
@ Jesnel Apugan . Are you saying that the lead singer who sang a perfect top soprano should not sing it because he was not made to sing it? Why did God give him the capability to sing it in the first place? Are you saying that he is a freak of nature? Why is it that I can't sing bass and baritone, always a high tenor and handle the descant in 'The Lords my Shepherd,' 'O come all ye faithful' and many more songs better than the women in my church. Are you saying that I should hide that talent? My church is a small one and when the ladies need help I am allowed to help them out. My voice is used harmoniously in the choir. I did not make my voice, It is God's gift to me. I am in church and praising God with what I have. What christian message would you be sending me? 'Don't sing because your voice is to high and sounds like a woman." Let's be careful of our criticisms and ugly remarks. God don't like ugly.
There is a difference between talent and showing off.
cassynco Sinco Amen. who are we to stand in judgement.
cassynco Sinco I understand you well I did not think that anyone would say anything the young man is a countertenor which is a male voice that is in a high register. JEALOUSY
Look at Theiry back there trying to hold it in.
Because here we don't simply just say "amen". I can only tell you what I know based on the scope of my worldview. I remember hearing in some places doing or saying anything other than amen was taboo. I've been to churches in a few different countries, and applauding is quite common. I honestly don't see anything out of the ordinary in this video that I haven't seen at many other churches.
i'm in this video somewhere....... 4:51 with my foot in the aisle in the front :P
@binx21m Here's the question you should be asking: "Why can't I just listen to a song, be blessed by THE MESSAGE OF THE SONG and enjoy God's gift he placed in these people instead of letting my understanding of EGW ruin an awesome musical experience for me?"
Ok, this I understand being their culture, which would be all most impossible to change but thats their right to worship as they please and not mine to say otherwise.
I see your point, and it raises something that all musicians should be concerned with; however, how do we know that someone is showboating? is it by the way they look, act? I think that is a heart matter that ought to be settled between the performer and God. I think only the person with the power to see exactly what lies within the heart of the performer has the authority to make such conclusions.
I'm calling it like it is. But I'll humor you. What are your supporting text? It makes me laugh looking at some of these comments talking about condemning Victor because of his "rifts and runs". Not your comment in particular but reading in between the lines, some comments seemed to suggest that since rifts and runs don't fit the principles of western anglo music it must be wrong. The bottom line is Victor was singing to the best of his God given ability for the Glory of God...
Is Victor Aeolians Alumni?
Just watched one of your video where there is a brother playing a guitar; Zimbabwean (where i'm from) SDAs don't allow guitars in chruch; they say it is a worldly instrument.
Not true. The guitar doesn't play itself. it's an inanimate object. People of the world uses it for worldly things. It does what the user plays. Let the instruments praise God. In the Meeting place God had the Levi set up musicians to praise him with horns, cymbals, lyre, etc. Today we have modern names like sax, drums, guitar, etc. They are robbing God of His worthy praise with their human misinterpretation. And I'm SDA. Read the Psalms, look good at the sanctuary set up and you'll see that God ordained them for use. Blessings
You
@Changification1 are u a morganite?
Beautiful
any music sheet for choir ??
These sheets you will find in the voices encore song book. Voices of lee album
I don't think u meant to say 'no one sounds different' because as we know bascially everyone does sound different with their vocals, lol, Again i state what ever God gave you, use it to the best of your ability praising God, whether any man agrees with it or not for it is for man to praise God, not man. God can never be put in a box for He is to Awesome for that.
The point I'm trying to make to Shenieva is that appropriate church music is culturally subjective, so one should not use there own culture as a measure of what is appropriate; one has to understand that culture. I do not think a guitar in church is inappropriate at all, but do I understand why Zimbabweans choose the piano as the only instrument of choice, yes, because they are coming from a cultural history of ancestry spirits mediums and the like.1 Corinthians 8 v 9-13
I don't think you meant to say 'no one sounds different' because as we all know every one bascially for the most part does sound differently, lol. Again i state, what ever talent God gave you, whether it fits in a box that some like or some may not use it to uplift Him, man does not always identify with Gods works and God cannot and should not be put in a box, He's to awesome for that.
Hey! We REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! We only have 3 days left for this fundraiser, and $3,000.00 to go. This is an ALL or NOTHING fundraiser..so if we don't reach $15,000.00, we get $0.00. So not only do we need you to help share this to raise more money, we need YOU to contribute as well. YOU can give anywhere from $10,000 - $1.00! Yes..$1! So PLEASE give and PLEASE SHARE to help strengthen our ministry. >>The link is in the description!
@shenieva1 In what way is the solosist, who is singing his heart out for Jesus, hitting notes that many people can't hit not right for our Heavenly Father? Please tell me, Worldly or not, he put his whole might into singing for Jesus as he instructed us to do for him. I even bet that God was sitting on his Throne acknowledging the talent that he gave to this Brother. Your statement makes it seems like Godly music, only fits in a box to fit a certain standard. God wants us to us all for him.
i was their and i thot he was a good singer
@cyclash10 -I answered Shenieval with nothing but the truth, we all have vocals to talk and sing, no two people on earth talk alike, so is it with singing, we all sound different, so r we supposed to keep silent with our vocals because it dosen't fit the pattern of others be it male r female, we r to use what ever gifts God has endowed us with, in this case his vocals r higher than the usual male vocals, for your info some women have tenor-bass vocals, r they supposed to keep silent, No way.
"Ellen G. White warned about the dangers of applause stating: "applause can stimulate like wine", "administer vanity", & cause one to be “puffed up”. Moreover, she saw applause as “a snare”, something that can injure a person & that which can even influence a person to leave the church for the world. She wrote: “Jesus did not seek the admiration or the applause of men”. So, its either SDA's follow the Spirit of Prophecy or they don't. Do you know why Moses didn't go into the Promise land?
Should we not do all things for the glorification of God? if i'm an Olympian, shouldn't I run to win the price (1 Corinthians 9v24), and at the same time, glorify God? And if i'm a chef, shouldn't I cook food with the best recipes that are at my disposal to make the best food I can make? wouldn't you say that is the same with an musician? shouldn't he be crafty with his work like all other artists who showcase they talent, like De Vinci painting "The last Supper," like Joseph carving a table?
Shenieva, don't you think its a cultural matter rather than an objective one. I'm from Africa, and the way we praise and worship God in music is totally different from western ways. Imagine if I'm to use my African music as a measure for correctness, every music style would be disqualified. Against traditional Jewish music, hymns would be disqualified. So then, what music style is the measure of heavenly music?
@shadhom personally that is not a christ-like way to answer shenieva1. God has given us a voice. We should use that voice, we don't need to alter it. It's beautiful, a man should not sing like a woman, it's not what God intended im sure it would have sounded better if the person sang in his natural god given voice. But i cannot comdem nobody we are all sinners. But we must lift up the standard and not lower it.
Jesnel Apugan it called countertenor, and it is the highest range of the tenor, now I have been singing probably before you were born, especially since I’m 57, and I grew up in church, and the voice is an instrument, and like an instrument there are ranges from the lower register to the highest, and if God has given anyone the gift of singing, He knows exactly what He is doing, and to judge what God does, his scripture says, “He thoughts are not your thoughts and His ways are not your ways, meaning unless God came down and personally told you what He had in mind for this unique voice, then all you are doing is simply speculating, and not praising God for His marvelous works, our opinions have nothing to do with God, so please don’t try to speak on His behalf, that’s not anyone’s place to do so, just give God the glory and honor and enjoy His handiwork...
Brother if this does not satisfy you know then you must be in heaven. No in insult in this Kevin but please dont be a holier than thou person.
...Those outside of our culture may see it as "attention seeking" due to a lack of understanding of how we do things. There are going to be a LOT of shocked people in heaven when they realize that only "western anglo" music won't be the only type of music sung in heaven, but will reflect the myriad of cultures of God's children. SMH people think their culture and ways are the best and only ways. Compared to the Angles music in heaven ALL HUMANS MUSIC SUCKS. When we realize that we'll stop...
So culture then will have nothing to do with heaven and Heavenly music.
Culture is a human invention... God doesn't require our human constructs where He resides...
Christ is above our human ideas..
Well I am sorry that Zimbabwean churches forbid guitar playing in their churches because they consider it a worldly instrument. If thats the case then they should not have no instrument in the church period, this really is absurb. The instrument does not have a mind of it's own, it is played by the individual as the piano, organ, drums and any other instrument. Just like people playing games in their home with dice that used to be considered gambling, now dice r found in a variety of games lol.
Shenieva, I don't disagree with you that there is right and wrong way to worship, but I think you being absolute with something that is not. Okay, provide me with the scriptures that I may read for myself.
@shenieva1 ..................I'm VERY sure Christ himself saw nothing wrong with this song of high praise...let's not be so divisive shall we? ;) Being ultra ultra conservative and fanatical won't get you to heaven any faster. What I would love to know is what is this so called standard and how do you know what it is God and the angels like and love to listen to?
A lot of European influence here.
5:09 risky note. Too unreliable, in my opinion, and of course after he cracks, his save was a long riff that sent him back into his natural range. Nice voice, though, and even greater arr. Fellas, it's ok to keep these hymn arrangements more on the simpler side. The counter-tenor thing is lovely, but it shouldn't require 12 notes to a measure when 3 will do.
@shenieva1 -here u r again attempting to find fault with another group singing for the Lord, if you cannot do nothing but go from video to video being negative, then find something else to do that makes you happy, if you want to find some negativism, I suggest that you first start evaluating your self from the Inside-Out, there if you dared to be truthful you will find more than enough problems to keep your warped mind occupied in trying to find solutions before U die in your present situation.
This hymn has such a beautiful melody, it is a shame to ruin it with all the vocal calisthenics. Just sing it. Victor, there is not a fine line between showing off and singing to the glory of God. They applauded you, and there was no glory to God.
Well, I certainly am not going to stand in judgment of whether God got glory from this brother's singing. That's just not for me to say. However, I will agree to your initial statement. Less is more.
Xymo Nau. You are hypocrite God always gets the glory. I think you're just jealous
But just his singing is for the glory of God .. because only through God could a voice like that be possible... it is not our place to judge
Xymo Nau YOU ARE A JUDGMENTAL HYPOCRITE YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS GOD ALWAYS GETS THE GLORY.
and suddenly all the focus is on the lead singer instead of Jesus.
I thought this song should bring glory to God. The One that looked beyond our faults and saw our needs.
"I shall forever lift my eyes to calvary" singing...
Alfred Meijerhoven So the singer should sing terribly so you don't focus on him?
... criticizing other cultural/"unholy" music that others sing and participate in. What kind of music do you think the Angles sang when Jesus returned from earth? I can't image "Who is the King of Glory" being a somer, mellow, and quite frankly a BORING song of praise. it was a CELEBRATION with the angels singing to the BEST of their God given talents for the Glory of God.
But one counsel, It is better to let Christ be seen in the lyrics and music than the artist. I am sure the song writer wanted us to experience of grace through Jesus Christ. It's just a wise counsel. There are millions viewing this song and many come not for entertainment but sometimes at their final decision to end life or to find Christ. So let's keep this in mind. But again I was blest but there are certain things we don't need to add or take away from a sacred song as "He Looked Beyond My Fault and saw my need" Thank YOU Jesus.
Amen! He Looked Beyond My Faults & Saw MY NEEDS! Amen Again. Thanks!
Derrick Hall Where was the entertainment I thoroughly enjoyed the rendition of he looked beyond my fault originally written by Dottie Rambo and the young countertenor did very well. Your comment sounds a little hypocritical.
Derrick Hall ENTERTAINMENT ??? YOU TRY TO COVER UP THAT YOU ARE JUDGING WE ALL KNOW GOD GETS THE GLORY. YOUR CONVERSATION STARTS ONE WAY AND END UP SOMEWHERE ELSE ARE YOU BIPOLAR LOL😯GOD BLESS YOU AND HAVE A GOOD DAY.
Why can't he just sing the song instead of adding all of those unnecessary bumps in the music? You sound like you have an amazing voice that is hidden by that.
FauxReal Because great music is free, not robotic.
FauxReal...are you a singer? And if you are and you are able to use your full range, especially when it comes to praising God, are going to hold back or give Him your best, just like He gave us His best, His son whom bore all of our sins...
Lol @ Christine's face.. But Vic killed it..
