Adam, rewind and watch your face-- it's the joy that is David Phelps' voice and appreciation of an exceptional talent. He has been blessed with such a gift.
David Phelps is a graduate of Baylor University where he majored in music. (obviously) They wanted him to go into opera but he said no, he wanted to be a gospel singer and he sure has done that and done it well. Best tenor I have ever heard in my lifetime.
There are many videos on You Tube of David. I've followed him for a long time and he is my favorite above all others. He plays the piano, writes and arranges music and his family is quite involved also. His two daughters sometimes sing with him, his sister, his brother in law. I hope you will continue to showcase him with your reactions.His duet with Charlotte Richie called "Fall On Your Knees" is wonderful. "No More Night"....just so many that I can't name them all.
David Phelps studied music at Baylor. They wanted him to concentrate on opera but he knew he wanted to focus on gospel music. One thing I heard about his high notes is that his vocal cords are quite thick, much more like a baritone, for a tenor. This enables him to hit those belts and still land delicately on the high notes when called for. Thank you for a very informative reaction.
I have no idea who David Phelps is but I will sure find out. I was brought up in a classical home and studied voice in college. I have never heard anyone but "the Tenors" sing this and of course they are all operatic. This was fantastic and I am so pleased I decided to click on your notification. Wow I like this guy.
David Phelps is a Christian gospel artist. Probably one of the most recognized within the genre. He was in the most famous quartet, the Gaithers (they have written and produced hundreds of songs) and then he went solo. He is classically trained and truly means what he sings. I’d highly recommend his version of O Holy Night. He is a vocal powerhouse for sure!
@@annestep6741 You’re more than welcome. Anyone with musical background can easily recognize his talent. There are many vocal reactions to his songs out there. I hope you check some out!
David is classically trained but the Gaither Vocal Band and all of the groups involved in that have leaned more to the Southern Gospel genera, so you will find him highly versatile.
You are going to fall in love with David the more you listen to him! He is a truly amazing heartful and powerful singer- one of the best voices alive today imho! My favourite performance of his-ever- is O Holy Night from 2000 wearing the famous green jumper!!
I’ve seen him in concert twice. Bristow OK and one in OKC, I have personal recordings of nessun dorma, little drummer boy, his Christmas special essential
That man has A voice which is God's gift to humanity. everyone should hear it. It is a spiritual experience for me. he is very unique both musically and personally.
Very original and impressively sung..ooo This is how a lion sings! Moreover, the enjoyment is double - we watch the performance of the singer, who is then rewarded with a smile from Mr. Mishan.
What a brilliant performance. Incredible vocals and passion. I may be biased but David's rendition was amazing. Still the best in my estimation. I'm an 82 year old Aussie and he's top shelf in my estimation. God bless you David. Lyn Lockrey, Australia.
Bravo Adam! Great critique breakdown on the greatness of this Epic Italian Classic sung by this God gifted gospel singer good ole country boy from Tomball Texas who was music educated in Waco. Amazing how David so beautifully sings this Puccini Aria written to be sung by the greatest opera tenors like Pavarotti, like a sexy Rock Star. Bravo David!
So while David is one of my all time faves, have seen him live several times, and even been to his house, I have to say....this is the first reaction video I have seen where I truly enjoyed the commentary, and seeing how his performance made you just smile was just perfect. Thank you for this video (I was a voice student for 10 years- opera for two of those and would have enjoyed you as a coach).
I literally have been waiting for you to review this. I cannot wait to click and watch! This is masterfully done. He has incredible skills. He knows his voice inside and out!
Dawn Hutchins- I believe this message is not really from David. I have seen similar messages posted on other Christian videos. I believe it is some one trying to pull you into their scam using someone you trust. It’s just good enough to seem believable. Just wanted to warn you.
@@godislove8038 yeah. I saw that just as soon as I clicked on his page and saw two followers. Funny thing is I actually know David from a while back. So at first I wasn’t shocked and replied just here. But then I checked the page and realized. People are really grasping at straws, aren’t they? My thanks for your heads up, regardless. I’m deleting my response regardless. ☺️🙏
Adam, I love you brother. But David is the show here. Please don't keep stopping it until the end because he's amazing and then your professional and amazing comments. Thank you you the man
One thing I've noticed when vocal coaches react to David Phelps is the smorgasbord of so many attributes and techniques in his singing and style that they have to break down. Ive yet to see a vocal coach who was anything but impressed and amazed of David's singing talent. Incredible singer....incredible human being.
David is my favorite singer! I’ve seen him in concert more times than I can count. You should react to his latest cover of Whitney Houston’s I Have Nothing. It’s fantastic!
Comparing techniques - cf. Pavarotti's Jan. 14, 1980 performance in New York. Notably, Luciano's position on the final "Vincero!" - not only is his jaw dropped and his tongue like a dance floor, his mouth is open back to his earlobes. It might not be humanly possible to be any more open and unrestricted from diaphragm up! This is not a "one is better than the other" comparison, just noting the different techniques.
i sure wish he could have gotten the words right. he sings well. but its Michael Buble meets I dunno. How could he get the words wrong? Didnt he read the text This is kind of unlistenable
David is of the many Bill Gaither singers. i.e. a large group of Christian singers who have traveled around the world for decades performing, recording and making tens, maybe even hundreds of millions of dollars in concerts, DVD (and videos) CD's and tv infomercials. I am a messianic Hebrew while you might not be, but I will recommend this solo of him performing O Holy Night. (8445) Bill & Gloria Gaither - O Holy Night (Live) ft. David Phelps - UA-cam
That's pretty much his "worst vincero", but this still was a great performance. In more recent performances he actually goes full forte on the last note, sounds great too!
One thing David loves to do is never performing a song exactly the same way twice. He makes little changes which I think he does to freshen the song so it doesn't become a "cookie cutter" rendition. He always does a fabulous job.
Can you please react to my favorite singer, Faouzia (Foe-Zee-Uh) please? She has her own songs and the stripped versions are insane. She also has done many covers- on UA-cam or on tiktok(a compilation). You should react to her. Also, she's Moroccan-canadian so her voice is very unique. Shes only 20 and has never had any vocal training.
I love you brother and I hope you're well. Can you please take notes and make your comments at the end and not stop the gift from God from singing so much? LOL that being said I'm sure you will want to see him soon Mio babbino Caro or I have nothing from Whitney Houston at the age of 51 years old. Or anything David LOL StayWell good to see your brother
Here are a couple of groups David is associated with through Bill Gaither. The Isaacs, who like me are Messianic Hebrews and the Hoppers. Both of these are in Modern day Jerusalem. (8445) The Isaacs - Halleluyah [Live] - UA-cam (8445) The Hoppers - Jerusalem [Live] - UA-cam I am sharing these to give you an idea of these people David Phelps sings with. They are individuals and groups who travel as a group and as individuals and individual groups.
David Phelps did "I Have Nothing" on a live stream concert he did a few weeks back. Wow, did he nail it! It was absolutely gorgeous. One of those jaw dropper performances!
im not sure if this going to get blocked or copyright issue if you react to it because it in Japanese. but im looking forward to hear local lesson from you for this TXT The First Take. Force: ua-cam.com/video/isk0R5G0rio/v-deo.html Crown: ua-cam.com/video/V5Z5LR0NrBo/v-deo.html
I know this reaction not about Bts but I will leave several Bts song request for reaction and all of them have live performance(except Disease) Tomorrow - Mikrokosmos- Mic drop - Anpanman- I need u- So what- Disease- Run- Wings - 4 o'clock - 2!3!
I really wish Phelps would sing less religious songs. It becomes quite boring after just a few.. But in that community he does well so I guess that works well for him.
The best version I have heard was from a fan who video taped it (I know it was not allowed but we all know how that goes) from a Gaither Vocal Band concert around 2012. He sounded very operatic with a darker version. He could have easily been mistaken for a true opera singer with that version. It was phenomenal. Even Bill Gaither was blown away when David was finished.
@@whirlybird5244 I think I know which one you're referring to. The video posted above is not during his best vocal years; this is before he retrained and "reset" his voice after blowing it out for so many years.
@@rockytopin7949 I had heard that he changed the way he was singing at some point to preserve his voice. He started using different techniques at that time. Whatever he did it worked. His voice is still pretty strong and he can hit those high notes at 51 years old. Although I noticed he doesn't hit the high notes as often as he used to but that is understandable. LOL.
He was born and raised in Texas. David says you can never take the Texas out of a person. In his case , the accent. LOL! I am just joking with you of course.
Great reaction -- you are so knowledgeable and you have a great voice yourself! Would love to see you react to David Phelps singing Just As I Am or O Holy Night.
No. I think he means the video in its entirety without comment stops. I’d have to click the link he mentions to be sure, though. This is definitely a live recording by David Phelps.

I believe he has asthma as well
It must have been the Spirit that led him to gospel music. If he had gone for opera perhaps he wouldn't have inspired many...
@@crcb4 why??
@@crcb4 if he had asthma he couldn't sing like that.
@@joeljerryw6416 The spirit?
I was a witness to this musical genius in Anderson, Indiana (Paramount) and he brought tears to my eyes. Such a gifted artist.
Love, love, love David Phelps!!
Please tell David I love him too

He's absolutely magnificent....
He's known for his high notes. Definitely the best tenor this century.
I have watched this video about 200 times, no joke, and I STILL get cold shivers at the last few notes.
Just watched it again 2 yrs after my first comments, yep got cold shivers 😊
@@jenniferdnoseworthy2348I've seen him sing this live. Literally felt like my soul was being lifted to heavens. It was overwhelmingly beautiful.❤
Thank you so much for your take on David Phelps, Wow, all well said. I have recently picked up on his music, & now hooked..
Thank you so much for talking about how good he is with the soft notes they sound incredibley beautiful 💝💝💝
This incredible song always brings a tear to my eyes. Such a moving song. Beautifully sung by David Phelps.
I find his style in this song so interesting and very nice to the ears... Not boring like most of those opera singers.

Omg. These are too good!
I got to see him sing this tonight at a Gaither Vocal concert and it was incredible!!!!!
"No More Night" and "Oh Holy Night".
'Nuff said.

I’ve seen him in concert twice. Bristow OK and one in OKC, I have personal recordings of nessun dorma, little drummer boy, his Christmas special essential

Loved hearing your explanation here! David Phelps has always been my favourite singer for obvious reasons
I love watching responses. This was more about your knowledge than his performance. Saw him sing this piece in person. Let us listen, then comment.
Very original and impressively sung..ooo This is how a lion sings! Moreover, the enjoyment is double - we watch the performance of the singer, who is then rewarded with a smile from Mr. Mishan.

David is so humble about the applause. He usually says amen or praise God when finished. He knows who gave him his talent and it shows. Amen
Please react to more David Phelps, my favourite is "End of the Beginning" ❤
an absolutely incredible performance and song with an even more incredible meaning.

Actually David is a very humble person. He will mostly smile and move back to his place on stage. Listen to him sing, "I Have Nothing".
Oh, how I would love to see your reaction to his cover of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing"! - Yep, that's what I said. He did it.
AND he nailed it!!
