At least 50 for me too……and yes, still have chills! Sorry, I have heard Vincent C and while wonderful…Brian is for me…the absolute BEST while singing CREEP! I love the way he sings this song…and I’m 69 years young!
The absolute silence before s standing ovation is the next level above. That silence is impossible to "fake"... it means the audience is stunned and it usually lasts about 3 seconds. If you are a performer and this happens to you it feels terrifying but it is the highest honor an audience can give you. It means you have touched every single individual in that audience. Purely Amazing.
Most performers will never experience this phenomenon in their entire career. I learned about it after it happened to an orchestra I was part of did a particularly moving piece. Everyone was just "on" that night and we could feel it ourselves. As it ended (single note by the oboist - not me btw) there was 3 seconds of silence followed by an explosion of applause as the audience lept to their feet. That 3 seconds was among the most emotional seconds of my life. Later our conductor explained it. Even one person who had remained un moved would have started clapping and the rest would have followed. As a singer, Brian pulled off a feat almost unheard of. A truly stunning performance.
@@beverlywhite8433 this particular silence was actually slightly edited, you can tell by the way it was cut that it was slightly extended. The whole edit was completely unnecessary because what was truely telling was the complete silence while he was performing which you cannot edit. Almost every performance no matter how mesmerizing usually has one moment where people break out in applause or cheering but the one camera roll where it scrolls across the audience from left to right just show a crowd that is so purely captivated by what they are seeing and hearing.
What I love the most is the fact that the audience is so silent. Normally the AGT audience is infuriatingly loud during the entire performance, so the fact that you could hear a pin drop for several seconds after the performance had finished speaks VOLUMES
That is NOT what happened IRL... That is called post production editing. Its meant to give you that feeling. These shows know EXACTLY how to tug your heartstrings or evoke some kind of emotional response.

This man is brilliant. Just brilliant. I don’t know why he didn’t win the show and I don’t know why he hasn’t exploded off the charts. I’ve watched this video literally hundreds of times and every time, it’s goosebumps and tears! Brian makes you feel the feels!!
Believe it or not, sometimes you can be so professionally trained that it can sound a bit too rehearsed and not quite spontaneous and sincere enough. This song “Creep” and the way he sang it, lended itself perfectly to his training and was a brilliant choice!! However, choose the wrong song and it comes across as I mentioned. Unfortunately… 🙁
There's no way to emotionally prepare for this performance. The first time I heard it a few years ago I was completely stunned. So few performers have this impact.
Ditto. I am totally captivated every time I listen to this. He is better than most who are already in the business making their fortune because I don't just listen to anything. I'm picky and he's at the top of my list of favorites.
same here. I'm feeling kinda nostalgic of the 1st time I heard it each time I hear it again. you know this feeling, when some song/interpretation just leaves you speechless, like if you got punched in the face. I'm usually not a big fan of covers, but this one... I honestly can't tell which one I prefer, this one or Radiohead's original
Several years ago I took singing lessons. My vocal coach asked me to show her an example of a song I emotionally connected with so I showed her Brian's rendition of Creep. Later that day she had it playing in her house and her husband burst into the room saying "who IS that???". That in my mind sums up how I feel about Brian's vocals.
Brian Justin Crum, you are without a doubt phenomenal and then some!! I am running out of adjectives to describe your performances! I am a gramma and I love you!!
I checked this out, and he's really good. However, if you want emotional responses, listen to Jasmine Elcock and Ella Henderson versions. these teens SLAY and laugh at our tears... Jasmine ua-cam.com/video/oSR3S8HNHDM/v-deo.html Ella ua-cam.com/video/oTbcO9qaE5g/v-deo.html
"I gotta shave my legs; I just got goosebumps everywhere" made me laugh. Imo, that bridge is the best part of the song. I like to call that the Cry - the most emotional part of the song - where the artist is crying in agony. Very emotional.
I don't know if you realize it, but you've reacted to Brian before. He was part of Superfruit's Rise cover. I would love it if you'd react to some more of him. He has his own channel where he has original music and covers including some live covers, such as Shallow from A Star is Born.
@Zachary Dunn - exactly. and if you watch the audience in Vincent's version you will see Mario Jose cheering for Vincent who (Mario) was also on Rise with BJC. And Tara's scrunched, closed eyed face and her "ooooos!" are just E V E R Y T H I N G because, real. .
I love that you get these vocal artists that perform so powerfully that the actors on the show, even someone like Simon, just kinda forget they're on a show for a minute. You can see actual like admiration in Simon's face and his smile after he finishes that long note, and he just continues smiling the whole time, just lovely
I don't have the words to explain my reaction when I hear him sing this song. He doesn't just evoke emotion, he takes you down and in and through the depths of his personal emotional turmoil.
2021 I’m still sharing his performance. I’m so sorry 😢 you had a rough childhood. My closest cousin Nunzio Vacca went through a similar journey but unfortunately he passed in 2013.. there’s still a whole in so many people’s hearts. So.. remember God loves you. You make me feel and soften my soul. I love you brother.
People said this song was too strange for an album but it became one of Radiohead’s most famous songs. It’s insightful as well as capable of taking so many different versions.
I only discovered this video a few months ago and I still can't get over this performance. Incredible. This guy means every word, every note. Such an emotional act, he took my soul out and went for a walk with it before putting it back.
I’ve never heard this song before, and he swept me away. What passion and pathos and power (I feel that way always…listening to this was almost primal) for me. He made those lyrics pierce my soul. What a devastatingly moving performance. What a voice. What a masterclass in creating intimacy without sacrificing passion and power. Wow.
Whenever you are performing a song, and you hear that silence for a few seconds at the end, it means that the audience is taking in every last bit of your performance they can. That means you nailed it. Ive had it happen once in my life, it was incredible, one of the best feelings in the world
I don't know how many times I have his version of Creep, I just love it. I always watch different people sing this song. My favourite one is Brian, his voice WOW. The crowd's silence was in awe. Love it, love him.
I love how he closes his eyes. I love to see a singer when they really feel their music like it’s a part of their soul. So good! And I love how all the judges are just hanging on every note and word. Beautiful
The presentation of this song was so poignantly offered to us that I was really touched. I've seen it before but have the same reactions every single time. He's a pro at what he does. God bless him for the fascination, admiration, and contemplation that we go through with every single song he presents (I don't just call it singing because it's so much more than that.) And Tara, I love how you are not afraid to show your emotions when something moves you. So touching to watch and listen to. I'm so glad that I've found you. I can't sing at all, so I can only listen in deep admiration to people like you and Brian Justin Crum that can move us with a song. Thank you.
When I heard his version of Creep I was already in love with his voice but this was spellbinding. He has such control of tone and breath. I really was hoping he would win. Love the silence at the end as the audience was just in awe of what they had just heard. Masterful!!
He has such a great voice, and he is an amazing person! But can we please have some respect and praise you for how good and humanly you are! You are the absolute QUEEN.
Thank you Tara, I really needed that today. Brian's rendition of Creep is by far my favorite (listened to it over a thousand times by now), and helped me accept my sexuality, myself as who I am and not let others define who I should be or aspire to become... When Brian said "maybe I am just... worthless", the way you looked at the camera felt like you were looking at my soul saying "of course you're not, silly". I am so darn glad to live in this century where people are finally understanding that love is love, no matter how ! Seeing you react to him and love him reallymade my day, thanks again Tara, love u !
And just seeing him stand alone on that stage. No flashy lights. Nothing. Just a grown man being completely vulnerable and pulling emotions out of him like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat. It was so sad and spellbinding. THAT was so moving.
The complete silence at the end of the song says it all. Greatest reaction ever.After you watch, re-watch and re-re-watch this, watch it again with the sound off.
That performance was truly breathtaking, but thank you for going through the techniques and effects used throughout it. It makes music richer to know its understood.
OK, so I must say first that I'm SO GLAD you reviewed this. I saw him perform this live on AGT, and I'm terribly embarrassed to say that I have watched the UA-cam video more than 200 times since then; probably more like 300. I think it's stunning and RIVETING -- as the stunned audience reaction revealed. I can't believe it's taken this long for someone to recommend it to you, but I'm thrilled you have heard it now. The note he held FOREVER, then dropped into another, which he also held a long time, was incredible. You hit the nail on the head when you said that he sounded as if he had even MORE air! Crazy. Your review of the dynamite, bluesy performance of Haley Reinhart's version of "Creep" also was spot on. It was BRILLIANT. Can you believe the difference in the approach to the same song??? Both GENIUS in their own way. Thank you, Tara! (And I'm certainly the oldest "student" you've ever had in your "Sing Smarter Not Harder" course. I'm in the early stages.) Love, love, love your reviews. And if you want to hear yet another great "Creep," check out VINCINT's version on the competition show The Four.
In the line of singing I am involved with, stage presence is always a big factor. This performance is a masterclass on stage presence. This guys ability to grab the audience even before he starts singing is staggering and to keep it up until after the song has finishes is even more staggering. This performance gives me chills every time I hear it. Just to add, his eyes are haunting !!
Always has been one of my favorite performances on AGT, I've probably watched this video over 100 times over the years, thanks for the wonderful reaction to it
Absolute chills. For some reason I think the best versions of this song are the covers. I think my favorite thing about Creep is the versatility of it. So many amazing vocalists have put their own breathtaking spins on it like this.
Such a great voice and breath support that would put even the most seasoned professional singers to shame, wow. He has done a lot of covers from a lot of different artists and are arguably better than the originals, including this one. Such a great talent.
I LOVED his performance in Superfruit’s Rise cover that they did as a response to the Pulse Nightclub shooting, which was the first time I had heard of him. Once I listened to this performance, I melted. So good.
I have watched this performance by Brian dozens of times...I simply never tire of it. Tara's reaction is by far the best review of the many there are. And there ARE many, because this performance is nothing short of perfection!
I love me some Brian Justin Crumb. He still each time gives me chills. Will NEVER understand how he did not win. But whatever, Brian is a winner all on his own merit. ❤ to you Brian.
Hey I appreciate your energy! You're supportive and positive, and I totally see by your reactions that you're not listening, you're totally feeling... I dig it! The world needs more people to build, instead of just tearing things because you don't want to see someone else win... I want everyone to win! You're boosting people thanks for what you do!
The moment of silence from the audience immediately following speaks volumes as to the power of his voice and how he drew them into the song and made them and us feel it as much as we heard it. Absolutely love this video!
I get goosebumps every time I listen to this......and I’ve listened to it sooooooo much. Brian can definitely reach in and touch the soul of every person in the room. As someone else said in the comments, the seconds of silence after he finishes his last note.....you could have heard a pin drop. That was everyone’s brain catching up with the emotional magic they just experienced.
“yes you doooo” This is the first time I’ve ever seen her; this woman is priceless! If I had any sort of voice whatsoever she would be my oracle! Great stuff
I suffered from depression ,suicidal thoughts and self harm throughout the year and today i think is the most terrible day for me cause i got triggered but unable to cry as i said to myself "i wanna cry so bad" over and over....and watching his performance really remind me that there's hope in this world and he delivered that massage beautifully....thank you Tara for reacted to his performance without you I would've not know him and i really needed that kind of positivity 😘love you so much 💗
It seems to me that many of the friends that I have who suffer from depression are really amazing wonderful people in other people's eyes. Many are smart, high achievers and are admired by their peers and yet feel a deep doubt about their self worth. Even when they recieved compliments, they don't believe they. I'm wondering, have you told a close friend, family member or sought professional help for your depression? It's not to be taken lightly and shouldn't be hidden from loved ones. I suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts when I was younger. So again, have you told anyone yet?
Every time this comes up when I’m watching UA-cam, I watch it. I watch it because I love the way he sings this but I also love to watch your reaction to it and the way you describe what he’s doing. Thank you for choosing to listen to this and to help those who love singing but don’t think they are that accomplished. 🙏🏿❤️
Never Tara made me laugh so hard. The way she was emotionally touched for Brian and his quality as singer is very funny yet emotional. Thanks Tara, enjoyed your reaction thoroughly. You are a good and sweet person.
EVERYTIME I see this vid it makes me cry. His voice is absolutely a gift from God. Thank you Tara for making these vids. Your positivity is amazing and your vocal knowledge is even more amazing. If that's not enough then there's your voice and that's amazing in itself.😁
She talked about couch time, about the importance of having your background story ready. My couch time: I’m an immigrant from Mexico. I was bullied for being fat and wearing thick glasses in school. When I was 12, I stood up to my bullies and that was the end of it. My dream is to become a professional singer like Josh Groban. Josh is one of my biggest musical inspirations.

And just seeing him stand alone on that stage. No flashy lights. Nothing. Just a grown man being completely vulnerable and pulling emotions out of him like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat. It was so sad and spellbinding. THAT was so moving.
I truly loved his rendition, listened like at least 1000 times .....like seriously.
I felt what he was singing in the song...
Bless Up Brian .....👍🏽
He’s beyond amazingly talented - love how he chose a song that ebbed and flowed.
I count 5 seconds of absolute silence before the crowd starts cheering.
The complete silence at the end of the song says it all. Greatest reaction ever.After you watch, re-watch and re-re-watch this, watch it again with the sound off.
That performance was truly breathtaking, but thank you for going through the techniques and effects used throughout it. It makes music richer to know its understood.
I can watch this over and over again. This performance was unbelievable!
Did you notice how when Brian stop singing there was a pause before the applause? That was a sign that something extraordinary just happened.
It took so long for anyone to react to this in the end. They were all stunned and speechless...Only true artists can actually make that happen
When I first saw this I kept repeating it at that very same part because it gave me goosebumps ✨
OK, so I must say first that I'm SO GLAD you reviewed this. I saw him perform this live on AGT, and I'm terribly embarrassed to say that I have watched the UA-cam video more than 200 times since then; probably more like 300. I think it's stunning and RIVETING -- as the stunned audience reaction revealed. I can't believe it's taken this long for someone to recommend it to you, but I'm thrilled you have heard it now. The note he held FOREVER, then dropped into another, which he also held a long time, was incredible. You hit the nail on the head when you said that he sounded as if he had even MORE air! Crazy. Your review of the dynamite, bluesy performance of Haley Reinhart's version of "Creep" also was spot on. It was BRILLIANT. Can you believe the difference in the approach to the same song??? Both GENIUS in their own way. Thank you, Tara! (And I'm certainly the oldest "student" you've ever had in your "Sing Smarter Not Harder" course. I'm in the early stages.) Love, love, love your reviews. And if you want to hear yet another great "Creep," check out VINCINT's version on the competition show The Four.
Vincint Cannady CREEP mind-blowing.
I love technical break downs of things i don't have a high level of understanding like singing it's very insightful.
I LOVE THAT PERSON BUTIFUL SOUL, GOOD SOUL ❤
In the line of singing I am involved with, stage presence is always a big factor. This performance is a masterclass on stage presence. This guys ability to grab the audience even before he starts singing is staggering and to keep it up until after the song has finishes is even more staggering. This performance gives me chills every time I hear it. Just to add, his eyes are haunting !!
this man is go great. I was in tears when he sang this song. It relates to how people feel and don't fit it. Very very emotional. Very very well done.
When there is silence after the performance. The audience is still savoring what they just experienced
They were stunned!!
Always has been one of my favorite performances on AGT, I've probably watched this video over 100 times over the years, thanks for the wonderful reaction to it
Brilliant performance. ALL the feels!
Tara is so breath taking. Her reactions and sounds affects are incredible
Absolute chills. For some reason I think the best versions of this song are the covers. I think my favorite thing about Creep is the versatility of it. So many amazing vocalists have put their own breathtaking spins on it like this.
I have listened to this video so many times, and I get chills every single time. He is just so amazing.
Please check Sarah Geronimo version too. You will feel the emotion.
Such a great voice and breath support that would put even the most seasoned professional singers to shame, wow. He has done a lot of covers from a lot of different artists and are arguably better than the originals, including this one. Such a great talent.
I LOVED his performance in Superfruit’s Rise cover that they did as a response to the Pulse Nightclub shooting, which was the first time I had heard of him. Once I listened to this performance, I melted. So good.
I have watched this performance by Brian dozens of times...I simply never tire of it. Tara's reaction is by far the best review of the many there are. And there ARE many, because this performance is nothing short of perfection!
Just watched it again, with Tara.
I know I have seen this sooooo many times, but it still gives me chills when I hear it.
Wow, I didn't think you would react to this any soon, and here we are. I love this performance! ❤
I listen this performance hundreds of times and it still gives me chills every time... The best version ever 😭❤️
I love me some Brian Justin Crumb. He still each time gives me chills. Will NEVER understand how he did not win. But whatever, Brian is a winner all on his own merit. ❤ to you Brian.
Hey I appreciate your energy! You're supportive and positive, and I totally see by your reactions that you're not listening, you're totally feeling... I dig it! The world needs more people to build, instead of just tearing things because you don't want to see someone else win... I want everyone to win! You're boosting people thanks for what you do!
Brian is a gifted singer, who makes every song a performance. Can't wait to buy his albums.
5:54 😂 we have the same reaction when I watched this part. 😊 And the goosebumps too. That kind of feeling. 😍
I cry everytime I hear him sing this. So beautiful
The moment of silence from the audience immediately following speaks volumes as to the power of his voice and how he drew them into the song and made them and us feel it as much as we heard it. Absolutely love this video!
I get goosebumps every time I listen to this......and I’ve listened to it sooooooo much. Brian can definitely reach in and touch the soul of every person in the room. As someone else said in the comments, the seconds of silence after he finishes his last note.....you could have heard a pin drop. That was everyone’s brain catching up with the emotional magic they just experienced.
“yes you doooo” This is the first time I’ve ever seen her; this woman is priceless!
If I had any sort of voice whatsoever she would be my oracle! Great stuff
Truly the best rendition of Creep I've ever heard. Also the best goosebumps performance I ever heard on AGT...until Angelina Jordan came along.
Imagine if Brian and Sydnie Christmas did a duet omg 💗💗💗💗☺️😊
Yep I felt it as this was amazing and one of the top 5 performances I've heard
in my life. Just magnificent.
When the audience is silent for the whole performance, you are a artist.
He starred the road show of Queen the Musical. He is fantastic.
I suffered from depression ,suicidal thoughts and self harm throughout the year and today i think is the most terrible day for me cause i got triggered but unable to cry as i said to myself "i wanna cry so bad" over and over....and watching his performance really remind me that there's hope in this world and he delivered that massage beautifully....thank you Tara for reacted to his performance without you I would've not know him and i really needed that kind of positivity 😘love you so much 💗
It seems to me that many of the friends that I have who suffer from depression are really amazing wonderful people in other people's eyes. Many are smart, high achievers and are admired by their peers and yet feel a deep doubt about their self worth. Even when they recieved compliments, they don't believe they. I'm wondering, have you told a close friend, family member or sought professional help for your depression? It's not to be taken lightly and shouldn't be hidden from loved ones. I suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts when I was younger. So again, have you told anyone yet?
Hang in there @paradinight. Things will get better.
Every time this comes up when I’m watching UA-cam, I watch it. I watch it because I love the way he sings this but I also love to watch your reaction to it and the way you describe what he’s doing. Thank you for choosing to listen to this and to help those who love singing but don’t think they are that accomplished. 🙏🏿❤️
Just hearing what this amazing singer went through during his lifetime brought tears to my eyes.But he showed them just who he really is.
Never Tara made me laugh so hard. The way she was emotionally touched for Brian and his quality as singer is very funny yet emotional. Thanks Tara, enjoyed your reaction thoroughly. You are a good and sweet person.
EVERYTIME I see this vid it makes me cry. His voice is absolutely a gift from God. Thank you Tara for making these vids. Your positivity is amazing and your vocal knowledge is even more amazing. If that's not enough then there's your voice and that's amazing in itself.😁
She talked about couch time, about the importance of having your background story ready.
My couch time: I’m an immigrant from Mexico. I was bullied for being fat and wearing thick glasses in school. When I was 12, I stood up to my bullies and that was the end of it. My dream is to become a professional singer like Josh Groban. Josh is one of my biggest musical inspirations.
Tara- I just love seeing your reactions - I am so glad that you love Brian as much as I do.
