I’ve heard the song described as: the original version is a warning of how society turning its eye to problems of the world, and this version is an angry response to those warnings being ignored, which is why the song builds and David adds the raspiness toward the end of the song.
That's the soft touch. The video is very different from the Simon and Garfunkel version. Aailiyah, you're a joy. My mom, Aunt and Grandma were all opera singers. But this is not that, be careful, these people do not like people who are not them.
I love the last 30 seconds of the song. The song starts slow and melancholy, gradually growing in power and desperation as he increasingly tries get his message out to an audience that either seemingly cannot hear him or is completely ignoring his warnings, until it climaxes in the last thirty seconds...and in the final seconds of the song, that intense emotional energy can no longer sustain itself and suddenly collapses back into exhaustion and melancholy as the song comes to an end. Beautiful.
Hello Darkness my old friend.. Who does not relate in some way(?) ~ progression/build-up is like your mind - it wants connection All instruments are added, as his voice intensifies Just beautiful 💯💖
You mentioned that he conveyed a lot of emotion in his voice, and that he seemed to be taking us on an emotional journey. A story exists that when he recorded the vocals for the music video, the lyrics dug into him so much that when he finished, he went out behind the studio and cried. Possibly apocryphal, but it fits. Love the analysis! Great job!
I don't think it's a story. David actually said (I think in his Loudwire interviews) that he spent three hours in the studio trying to get the vocals right, and did cry when he heard the recording. (He also said all he had to work with was the piano music because the band didn't have the rest of the music ready.)
David Draiman is a classically trained singer. The great thing with Disturbed is that Draimans voice is like an extra instrument in the songs. He is one of the best metal singers out there. You should also listen to Down with the sickness.
@michael brown I agree. Still classically trained. Just not in "Opera". That is like saying Colm Wilkinson and Michael Crawford are not "Classically Trained" because they do Broadway at a high level and not Carmen.
You have an absolutely beautiful voice! David Draiman is flawless. I watch this video over and over again. Can't say enough about it. Loved your reaction!
TArt Garfunkle went to Columbia in New York. He met a guy named Sanford Greenberg who loved music and literature like Garfunkle and they became great friends and soon roommates. One day Greenberg was at a baseball game and his eyes started failing on him. Soon he was completely blind. Greenberg quit school and went home and fell into a great depression. Garfunkle visited him often trying to convince him to get back to Columbia. Garfunkel told Greenberg to call him "Darkness" in sympathy. With a great deal of help from Art, Sanford did come back to Columbia. Garfunkel helped him to class, filled our forms and papers, etc. One day Garfunkle took Greenberg to Grand Central Station (10,000 people, maybe more.) Garfunkel told Greenberg he forgot he had to be somewhere and up and left him there to find his own way home (over streets of cobblestone...) Greemberg found the right train and in his mind he saw the graffiti on the subway walls. Greenberg finally made it back and bumped into someone who said, "sorry." Greenberg recognized Garfunkel's voice. Garfunkel was with him all the way home. Greenberg got his confidence back, went back to school and when Garfunkle needed money to get his first record cut, Greenberg gave him his last $400. Sanford Greenberg became a wealthy businessman and the $400 got Simon and Garfunkle's music career started.
Oh wow Mr. Terry, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful story♥️💕♥️it is truly heartwarming♥️the inspiration behind the song is truly inspiring😍have a wonderful day😍
It is interesting that I am not a huge metal fan though I do like David Draiman's voice and a few of Disturbed's songs. The training he received as a Jewish Cantor in Israel when added to his God given voice makes his voice an amazing instrument. The range, rasp, clearness, vebratto, head voice on and on is amazing. Most of all it is kind of rare to have music really tear into my soul as deeply as this did. I can not listen to this version without goosebumps and tears. Thank you for your take on it I appreciate it and your voice is amazing as well.
#1, David is also a trained Jewish Cantor... a particularly well trained "not professional" singer. Simply, he knows singing at a different level than most metal bands. #2, Canting is a particularly "emotional" style of singing (when done right) Paul Simon said David's birthday version is the quintessential version of the song, demonstrating the Pathos that S&G couldn't project - something a couple of hippy kids in the 60's really never groked.
I love how he incorporates the physical sound of silence in to the song eg the beginning of the song is silent for a while as it is near the very end. That use of silence itself adds to it. As you mentioned him using a closed mouth while singing and how it was still very powerful I know Roy Orbison did similar thing with his singing too and his singing was brilliant, he fooled Bono in a recording studio making him think that Roy had just mouthed the words and was surprised at how strong his voice was when they heard the playback. I feel David has the same ability and it's just phenomenal. Every single time I hear this song I cry happy/sad tears. It's such a powerful song I honestly now have to consider it my ultimate favourite. I've been around music for about 50 years thanks to my dad being a writer and a band manager. I've heard some great songs, terrific bands and have some great memories but boy this one just tops them all. 56 years old and crying when hearing this and not ashamed to say so. Great review. Thanks 😊
I must have sung this song a zillion times in music class in JR High School. This is on a whole new level. I’m not a Metal head fan, but this is excellent. 👍🏻
David has said that the original intent for this cover was to make it an acoustic song to show off his voice but every time he tried to sing it soft and flowing through the end he would find himself slipping into his typical metal sound by the end of the song. He finally gave in and added the electric instruments back in and just let it flow however it came out.
Did you notice he did this entire performance sitting down? It is something that very few people mention in their reaction to this song, but it is quite a skill to sing like this while sitting down.
Yes, he was sitting because he was worried he might pass out! In a later interview I saw, he said he had his ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor on standby because he didn't know what else to do! I can't remember if he said the doctor was actually present backstage or just by phone, but I think he said they were. You should check out the interview he did with the Charismatic Voice, he was really nice and well-spoken, and down to earth. He is just such a good guy. It was cool to see them 'talking shop' a little and Elizabeth was fangirling a bit, which was cute.
It's great that these reaction videos are highlighting just how technically capable a lot of metal singers are. Though Dave draiman is possibly an exceptional example it's so common to see metal singers completely overlooked. Most have an incredible 'normal' singing voice. Sam Ryder being a great example of a metal singer who went mainstream and showcased the vocal clarity and range
Hello again Aaliyah👋👋👋...I don't skip ads & watch full video in order to show my endless support to your amazing channel...I love the way you smile,it's captivating & inspiring...Be safe & keep healthy,cheers💙💟💙
I was half awake and listening to Coast to Coast AM on the radio one night, and the host played this as a bumper / lead in. Whoa......I woke up very quickly, and I could not believe what I was hearing....amazing ! I contacted an old radio friend I worked with that I hadn't written in years, the next day, and told him he just has to hear this version.
Check the "original" original version by Simon and Garfunkel on the "Wedn. Morning, 3 a.m." album....it was their first album, and it was the version that went before their other version that was eventually given.
Your old nanny Lucille asked if I remembered you and I did she also asked that I subscribe. I am so happy that I did, your voice and reaction to other styles of music is incredibly entertaining. I am so happy to see you have grown into such an amazingly talented young lady.
I love seeing vocal experts and classically trained singers react to songs such as this. This is such a great song, and a great version. If you haven't seen Chris Stapleton's live version of Tennessee Whiskey at Austin City Limits, I'd love to see your reaction to that song. It's been reacted to hundreds of times, but I'm sure your reaction would be so full of insight, and knowledge. Plus it's such a popular song that you'd get thousands of views. Anyway, enjoyed the review, and you're very talented, wish you the best of luck.
What's really amazing is he was sick when he did this live on SNL, he was actually mad that they messed with his vocals when they found out he was sick
Hi Aaliyah. New subscriber here. Love your work however personally speaking there is no need to give a disclaimer about your age/ability as hearing you, you are 99.9% way more qualified to teach us about the vocals than any of us on here 🙂
@@AaliyahCapili For sure. Most of us watch these types of videos to see your reaction. Whether you are 99 or 15, a trained vocalist or a grandmother who has never sung in front of anyone.
Hi Aaliyah! 😘😘👋 One thing not understood about metal it's that it's the genre that most demands versatility in all of "popular" music. Nowhere else are you supposed to transition immediately from a slow sentimental ballad, to a 180 bpm headbanger, to a noble prophet like tone at mid tempo, just like that, from a love song to a blood drenched battlefield. That's what metal singers do everyday. No place for one-trick ponies. 😁🤘
Thank you for your detailed review of Disturbed's Sound of Silence rendition! You have such a relaxing tone to your voice, which obviously is influenced by your vocal training! Please continue to make such wonderful and informative videos Aaliyah!
Hey gorgeous :) another great reaction. David Draiman is a trained cantor so he can do these in his sleep, also quoting a magazine article "In a Facebook post, Paul Simon says: “In case you missed it, Disturbed did a wonderful rendition of The Sound of Silence on Conan this week. The S&G cover also appears on Disturbed’s latest album, Immortalized.” Draiman responded in a Facebook post on Disturbed’s page, saying: “Humbled and grateful beyond words. Thank you so much Mr Paul Simon.” " so kind of a big deal to get the seal of approval from the person who wrote the song. Hugs and love from Greece stay safe and healthy.
I loved your review! I love this song too, it makes me tear up every time I hear it, I guess I agree that he takes me along for the journey every time I hear it. Your comments were very articulate and spot on! Truly the best comments that made me think and with your background, you have convinced me how gifted, and humble you are for your level of talent. I'm not an opera person, but I am going to subscribe because I love hearing music that has feeling and can take me on that journey again. That is the payoff for me.
She says that she didn't expect that emotion from a metal band but metal has always been about putting your raw emotion into the music. Metal artists give the most honest emotions into their music
I disagree with your last sentence. I certainly think Rob Halford (for example) during the "Sad Wings of Destiny" period not only sang heartwrenchingly beautifully but with no filter to his emotion. My disagreement is not that metal bands have an illustrious record. If you pick any form of music, including that which you dislike (in my instance I mostly dislike military marching bands) you will still find musicians playing from the heart. It may take the form of a classical quartet (go Ms Janine Jansen) , Neil Young on harmonica, Janis Joplin on weed and heroin or the trombone player that takes the instrument as capable of more than emulating farts. I adore good metal bands but please don't limit your pleasure.
David of Disturbed, He was full of flu that night on Conan! but still producing a masterful performance! You have to get the lyrics and watch the official video, (another masterpiece) to be on your own and play a couple of times, as it brings out emotions from your subconscious, that I couldn’t tell anyone, yet this beautiful version, has done that, not in a bad way but that’s how this masterpiece of a video and the Disturbed, which I will say now, is the best cover, ever, that can make me think, also produce tears about things I should of done earlier in life, Creating tears which is fine. Get the lyrics and official video, shut the door and play and watch. Stupendous!! Ian from U.K. ❤ 25/10/23
I always enjoy your reaction, Aaliyah! Nice to see at least one ukulele behind you too (not sure if the purple one is a use)! Keep up the great work on your excellent channel!!
I have a few things to say. There is a major total difference between his live concert with Conan O'Brien. The other thing is he was Ill at the time he did this concert. But the one thing I want to bring up is the fact that he is taking this to the point where it's a shout-out to tell people hey this is still going on and we must fix this or it will become even worse then it was in the past
Hi Aaliyah, I hope you are well. Thank you for this video. You may be young, but your thoughtful insights in this reaction not only do Disturbed justice but show wisdom beyond your years 👍👍
first time on your chanel seeing you react to this beauty of a performance! talent recognizes talent... loved your reaction! but stayed to let you know this. so im 31 so i've been around for awhile (obviously)... and when i say this please know, and take my word for exactly what i'm going to tell you...because I mean this with every fiber of my being and existence. you are one of the most beautiful women that i have ever seen in my lifetime. and if anything please just know i truly mean that. oh yeah and sub'ed to you because above all you deserve it! :D
The song and video with the most emotion I know is "Wrong Side of Heaven by, Five Finger Death Punch". Sorry, but it will make you cry. If you would like to hear the most talented vocal, I have ever heard try "Wolf Totem by The Hu". The truth is, I love all of The Hu songs.
Many opera singers and vocal coaches have reacted to Queensryche "take hold of the flame" live in Tokyo in 1984 or 86. Love to hear your take. One of the best singers of the 1980s
I just commented on another of your vids, I like this more, because you say more, and you explain so well! Very easy for someone like me to understand what you mean, I have the absolute minimal understanding of music, other than just enjoyment, and the way to explain stuff makes it very easy to understand.
I appreciate how much respect you have for non-opera singers. You are in a fraction of a fraction of fraction of a percent of humans. The respect you have is admirable
Biw the version done by opera singer henk poort is also a great piece of art. It was in beste zangers 2019 in witch he also did phantom of the opera with floor jansen
I really enjoyed your reaction. Love when someone who is trained can use their training to teach others and lear for themselves . If you liked this one, check out his duet with Myles Kennedy.
He is a classically trained opera singer. He also had a 104 fever and sick as a dog on this particular night, and only minutes before wasn't going to come out and perform. Hope you enjoyed it.
If you want this harmonized, he has done it live with Myles Kennedy (sings in a much higher register and is one of the most underrated rock/metal voices of all-time) a few times. There's an official version released by Disturbed that is easily the best sound quality.
He was very sick at the time of this singing. And yet he mananged it! That is why he is sitting down as they did not want him to pass out or fall over.
The original artist Simon said this song is now as much David's. I have heard Simon's version was a warning. David's is what happened when no one listened. In today's world of texts and emojis...we have stopped communicating naturally as humans. FYI, he was so sick with the flu is why he was sitting down....and he still nailed it with no auto tune
What a lot of people didn't know about this performance is he was risking his health and career. He had a lot of damage to his larynx and had surgery to repair them and his vocal cords and was unable to speak for three months.
I really enjoyed your operatic comparison examples, something a lil different to the other vocal reactions I've seen (there's been many down this rabbit hole!). you have a beautiful voice. And I agree with The Hu reccs if you haven't done them yet (first time I've seen your channel sorry!) but my votes would be for Yuve Yuve or Wolf Totem :)
I wish he would do more songs like this. I mean Disturbed was the first Cd I ever bought but this is my fav song of theirs. As I get older it's emotional where as the older rock song's were just thrash and scream stuff.
56yr old man here. I have heard this live version and the studio version with video hundreds of times. Both make me cry.
😍😍😍
Great reaction.
I love your technical comments.
and you yourself have a beautiful voice🎉
I view this
cover by Disturbed as a message and a warning😂

Look at all the things we can't say anymore without getting some kind of kickback, the sounds of silence.
@@DiZastur a cover of a song is a tribute. A sign of respect. Don't pretend to know anything about "these people."
@@AaliyahCapili blink three times if you're in danger :D

The song starts slow and melancholy, gradually growing in power and desperation as he increasingly tries get his message out to an audience that either seemingly cannot hear him or is completely ignoring his warnings, until it climaxes in the last thirty seconds...and in the final seconds of the song, that intense emotional energy can no longer sustain itself and suddenly collapses back into exhaustion and melancholy as the song comes to an end.

Hello Darkness my old friend..
Who does not relate in some way(?)
~ progression/build-up is like your mind - it wants connection

The way he stands on the N in silence creates this excellent resonant hum, like a held note on a cello.
Thanks for sharing💕

@@AaliyahCapili For sure. Most of us watch these types of videos to see your reaction. Whether you are 99 or 15, a trained vocalist or a grandmother who has never sung in front of anyone.
I love her genuine modesty and self knowledge that in singing and in life we all have a lot to learn.
@@joejacobsen6822 oh thank you very very much💕I am truly grateful💕
@@rk41gator thanks so much, I truly appreciate it💕
Hi Aaliyah! 😘😘👋
One thing not understood about metal it's that it's the genre that most demands versatility in all of "popular" music. Nowhere else are you supposed to transition immediately from a slow sentimental ballad, to a 180 bpm headbanger, to a noble prophet like tone at mid tempo, just like that, from a love song to a blood drenched battlefield. That's what metal singers do everyday. No place for one-trick ponies. 😁🤘
Thanks so much Luis for sharing💕🤗💕
Agreed, especially when Symphonic Metal is in the mix.
@@brewswillis9783 Power metal is where all the top male voices are...
Thank you for your detailed review of Disturbed's Sound of Silence rendition! You have such a relaxing tone to your voice, which obviously is influenced by your vocal training! Please continue to make such wonderful and informative videos Aaliyah!
Hello Mr. Knight, thanks so much for your kind words💕🥰💕have a wonderful day🤗
@@AaliyahCapili Thank you Aaliyah. Sorry it's been a year since you commented but you are very welcome!
Hey gorgeous :) another great reaction. David Draiman is a trained cantor so he can do these in his sleep, also quoting a magazine article "In a Facebook post, Paul Simon says: “In case you missed it, Disturbed did a wonderful rendition of The Sound of Silence on Conan this week. The S&G cover also appears on Disturbed’s latest album, Immortalized.”
Draiman responded in a Facebook post on Disturbed’s page, saying: “Humbled and grateful beyond words. Thank you so much Mr Paul Simon.” " so kind of a big deal to get the seal of approval from the person who wrote the song. Hugs and love from Greece stay safe and healthy.
Hello Mr. Nikos, thanks so much for sharing. I truly appreciate it. Disturbed is so awesome😍 I really love their performance😍
@@AaliyahCapili Just Nikos please i feel old enough already :)
@@neverlandxx73 🤗💕🤗
Amazing reaction video. No need to apologize for being young. You're very deep and understanding. Amazing again.
Aww wow thanks so much Mr. Tech for your kind words and compliment, i truly appreciate it. Have a great day😍
The crescendos and decrescendos are all a song boils down to in correlation to human emotions ...
the highs and the lows.
Yes, so true indeed. Thanks for sharing Ms. Stacy🥰
Someone said that the original song had a tone, a warning, of things to come - and in this version, it has already happened.
Thanks for sharing
I loved your review! I love this song too, it makes me tear up every time I hear it, I guess I agree that he takes me along for the journey every time I hear it. Your comments were very articulate and spot on! Truly the best comments that made me think and with your background, you have convinced me how gifted, and humble you are for your level of talent. I'm not an opera person, but I am going to subscribe because I love hearing music that has feeling and can take me on that journey again. That is the payoff for me.
Aww thanks so much Mr. Joey, much appreciated. Thanks again for your support. Enjoy your weekend😍😍😍
Loved your reaction. I like this song. I've watched a few reactions. Yours is one of the best. Thanks for sharing.
Ohhh thanks so much Mr. Dave, for your kind words and compliment. I truly appreciate it🥰💕🥰
She says that she didn't expect that emotion from a metal band but metal has always been about putting your raw emotion into the music. Metal artists give the most honest emotions into their music
I disagree with your last sentence. I certainly think Rob Halford (for example) during the "Sad Wings of Destiny" period not only sang heartwrenchingly beautifully but with no filter to his emotion. My disagreement is not that metal bands have an illustrious record. If you pick any form of music, including that which you dislike (in my instance I mostly dislike military marching bands) you will still find musicians playing from the heart. It may take the form of a classical quartet (go Ms Janine Jansen) , Neil Young on harmonica, Janis Joplin on weed and heroin or the trombone player that takes the instrument as capable of more than emulating farts. I adore good metal bands but please don't limit your pleasure.
Oh thanks for sharing yout insights Erin, much appreciated
Emotion in the defining of Viking Metal, Bathory, One Rode to Asa Bay. Epic
Thanks so much for sharing🤗🤗🤗
David of Disturbed, He was full of flu that night on Conan! but still producing a masterful performance! You have to get the lyrics and watch the official video, (another masterpiece) to be on your own and play a couple of times, as it brings out emotions from your subconscious, that I couldn’t tell anyone, yet this beautiful version, has done that, not in a bad way but that’s how this masterpiece of a video and the Disturbed, which I will say now, is the best cover, ever, that can make me think, also produce tears about things I should of done earlier in life, Creating tears which is fine. Get the lyrics and official video, shut the door and play and watch. Stupendous!! Ian from U.K. ❤ 25/10/23
Hello Mr.Ian, thanks so much for sharing and the recommendation too🌺🌺🌺
I always enjoy your reaction, Aaliyah! Nice to see at least one ukulele behind you too (not sure if the purple one is a use)! Keep up the great work on your excellent channel!!
Thanks so much, the purple one is just a small guitar but the other one is ukulele💕💕💕
My daughter learned Opera, eventually settling to train in Sydney in around 2000, with the late Elly Rab of Budapest.
Oh wow thanks for sharing Mr. Mark😍have a wonderful day😍
Thanx for your reaction, I wish for your career a success, awesome, your voice is amazing too 👍💕
Awww thanks so much, i really appreciate it💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
You are so welcome, just keep being amazingly awesome, 🙌
I have a few things to say. There is a major total difference between his live concert with Conan O'Brien. The other thing is he was Ill at the time he did this concert. But the one thing I want to bring up is the fact that he is taking this to the point where it's a shout-out to tell people hey this is still going on and we must fix this or it will become even worse then it was in the past
Thanks so much for sharing
Queensryche - Take hold of the flame live in Tokyo.
You will not regret this. 1980's.
Thanks so much, i will check it out too😍
Hi Aaliyah, I hope you are well. Thank you for this video. You may be young, but your thoughtful insights in this reaction not only do Disturbed justice but show wisdom beyond your years 👍👍
Hello, thanks so much for your kind appreciation💕
Simon and Garfunkle wrote the meditation -- David brings their words to life . . . .

Don’t mind me just casually crying over here every time I hear this version.
🌺🌺🌺😍😍😍🌸🌸🌸
first time on your chanel seeing you react to this beauty of a performance!
talent recognizes talent...
loved your reaction!
but stayed to let you know this.
so im 31 so i've been around for awhile (obviously)...
and when i say this please know, and take my word for exactly what i'm going to tell you...because I mean this with every fiber of my being and existence.
you are one of the most beautiful women that i have ever seen in my lifetime.
and if anything please just know i truly mean that.
oh yeah and sub'ed to you because above all you deserve it! :D
Oh thanks so much Mr. Christopher for your kind comments and support. I am truly grateful💕
Dave Draimen was originally a classically trained cantor.
Thanks so much for sharing🤗he is amazing🤗
I love everything that make you smile like you smile in this video.
Thanks so much💕
Paul Simon sent David an e-mail telling him that was the best cover of his song ever and he loved it
🥰🥰🥰
The song and video with the most emotion I know is "Wrong Side of Heaven by, Five Finger Death Punch". Sorry, but it will make you cry. If you would like to hear the most talented vocal, I have ever heard try "Wolf Totem by The Hu". The truth is, I love all of The Hu songs.
Thanks so much Kenneth for your recommendation. I will check it out too🥰
Many opera singers and vocal coaches have reacted to Queensryche "take hold of the flame" live in Tokyo in 1984 or 86. Love to hear your take. One of the best singers of the 1980s
Thanks so much for your recommendation, i will check it out too♥️
He was professionally trained. He has a strong foundation for this.
He is really so awesome, thanks for sharing💕
Desmond is a great for sure.
For rock vocals please take the time to listen to, pretty much any tool.
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated💕
I just commented on another of your vids, I like this more, because you say more, and you explain so well! Very easy for someone like me to understand what you mean, I have the absolute minimal understanding of music, other than just enjoyment, and the way to explain stuff makes it very easy to understand.
Aww thanks so much for your kind appreciation💕have a great day always🌸🌸🌸
I appreciate how much respect you have for non-opera singers. You are in a fraction of a fraction of fraction of a percent of humans. The respect you have is admirable
Oh thanks so much for your kind words, much appreciated💕💕💕have a wonderful day💕💕💕
Biw the version done by opera singer henk poort is also a great piece of art. It was in beste zangers 2019 in witch he also did phantom of the opera with floor jansen
Thanks so much Mr. Gerry for sharing, I will check it out too💕

@@christiancouvidou4777 thank you
I really enjoyed your reaction. Love when someone who is trained can use their training to teach others and lear for themselves . If you liked this one, check out his duet with Myles Kennedy.
Thanks so much Mr. Robert for sharing and for your recommendation. I will definitely check it out💕💕💕
The Myles Kennady duet is Simon with Garfunkel taken to a more mature form.
Go girl
Thanks so much💕
He is a classically trained opera singer. He also had a 104 fever and sick as a dog on this particular night, and only minutes before wasn't going to come out and perform. Hope you enjoyed it.
I really did enjoyed his performance, inspite of him being sick. He is truly amazing😍
This version is okay... I like the official video version better. It's the version played on the radio.
Great analysis on this and you have a great voice too - thanks for the reaction :)
Thanks soooo much for your kind words and appreciation🌺💕🌺have a wonderful day🌺
If you want this harmonized, he has done it live with Myles Kennedy (sings in a much higher register and is one of the most underrated rock/metal voices of all-time) a few times. There's an official version released by Disturbed that is easily the best sound quality.
Thanks so much, I will check it out too♥️♥️♥️
amazing reaction! You are very talented.
Thanks so much Mr. William🥰💕🥰
He was very sick at the time of this singing. And yet he mananged it!
That is why he is sitting down as they did not want him to pass out or fall over.
Hello thanks so much for sharing💕
I love your reaction l wish you the best
Thanks so much Mr. Joe🤗
You know the score 🎼
💕💕💕
Aaliyah, you are wise beyond your years. So knowledgeable and talented!
Awww wow thanks so much for your kind words and compliments💕I really appreciate it♥️
The original artist Simon said this song is now as much David's. I have heard Simon's version was a warning. David's is what happened when no one listened. In today's world of texts and emojis...we have stopped communicating naturally as humans. FYI, he was so sick with the flu is why he was sitting down....and he still nailed it with no auto tune
Thanks so much Ms Nina for sharing💕💕💕
I think your analysis is spot on! Good job!
Awww thanks so much Mr. Randy🌸
oh my days i love your voice
Thanks so much💕
What a lot of people didn't know about this performance is he was risking his health and career. He had a lot of damage to his larynx and had surgery to repair them and his vocal cords and was unable to speak for three months.
😔
That "hi friends" reminded me of April asking people if they've seen Warren. 😄 Older people will get the Buffy reference.
Hello Mr. Alexandro for sharing🥰
My dear you did a great video. Your comments were spot in. And I heard your voice singing and t you’re very good and will go far.
Wow thank you very very much for your kind words💕
Oh wow thank you very much for your kind appreciation🌺💕🌺
I really enjoyed your operatic comparison examples, something a lil different to the other vocal reactions I've seen (there's been many down this rabbit hole!). you have a beautiful voice. And I agree with The Hu reccs if you haven't done them yet (first time I've seen your channel sorry!) but my votes would be for Yuve Yuve or Wolf Totem :)
Thanks so much for sharing and for your feedack💕
I wish he would do more songs like this. I mean Disturbed was the first Cd I ever bought but this is my fav song of theirs. As I get older it's emotional where as the older rock song's were just thrash and scream stuff.
