Fantastic performance, kept the original songs meaning while exercising his spectacular voice

I get teary-eyed listening to this song sometimes :) His voice is amazing as well!

No recording does this mans voice justice.

Jonathan Arena Actually it's the recording that makes his voice sound like that. It's called auto-tune. He butchers the anthem in another video. I doubt his singing abilities when he sings without effects and pitch correction and it sounds like shit.

He has a little bit of Bill withers in his voice . Get it brotha!

It's so sad how the USSR theme has more American viewers than ours
