David Phelps is the greatest tenor on the planet

Ah, David…to me, the greatest singer on the planet. Plus, if you ever get to meet him, he’s truly humble, gracious, and funny! He has devoted his life to singing Gospel music.

David. Phelps. Is. Classicly. Trained. And. Is. A. Seasoned. Gospel. Vocalist

David Phelps is the GOAT! and even in his early 50’s now, he is still the greatest voice on the planet!!!

David is a very humble guy too, truly believes that his vocal skills are a gift from God, and he never says thank you after a performance, it's always a simple "amen" he says because he doesn't think he deserves the praise for it personally.

That feeling is the Holy Spirit! David is truly anointed by God❤❤

No other version will ever top David Phelps. He doesn’t sing it he also prays every word. I have grown up where this song was heard every Christmas, this is the most moving version ever. What an amazing talented singer. Fabulous reaction

David Phelps is the GOAT on this song. This version especially! ❤ He is classically trained.

BRO, THANK YOU SIR! For reacting to my request! David Phelps has a very special gift, not only in the interpretation of his musical choices, but the conviction he brings to make songs come alive! Please note this was filmed and sung "Live", usually a remarkably difficult task to overcome successfully. Plus it helps that David has "Perfect Pitch", a special gift given at birth. Perhaps you may consider reacting to David's cover of Whitney Houston's legendary "I Have Nothing"? David is able to sing this song in the same key as Whitney Houston's. THANK YOU again, and I'll always be a fan and follower of your Channel!

That might have been the greatest song ever sung, by anyone on this planet. Name another song that is this iconic and a masterpiece?

Now you need to go down the David Phelps rabbit hole!

Even after 23 years, this live performance of the song is still considered the greatest version by almost everyone that is reacting to it for the first time. His songs wether solo, duet, Gaither Vocal Band that consisted of 4 to 6 voices or with the whole chorus is still outstanding 23 years later. He also has his own group he records with, and he converted his Barn into a Performance Center. Most people are shocked as to why they never heard of this man before. It's mostly because he dedicates most of his time to Contemporary Christian Music. But he does do Classical, Pop and a little Operatic pieces. Try his cover of Witney Houston's "I HAVE NOTHING" and the Righteous Brother's " UNCHAINED MELODY". Then go back and do his many Christian Songs like "WE SHALL BEHOLD HIM", by Dottie Rambo, "THE END OF THE BEGINNING", "FLY AGAIN" that he wrote and arranged and "HELLO BEAUTIFUL". The list goes on and on. A couple versions of the "Star SPANGLED Banner", one with the Vocal Band and another with his own group, with a twist that he arranged on the second verse with the sound of a Led Zeppelin song as back-up ! (Really Clever)

And behind David Phelps are some of the greatest voices in Southern Gospel music.

Best on earth.

he is classically trained. He told his dad he wanted to be a singer. So that is what he studied in college!

This song is the best song of all time. The lyrics are perfect! Praise to our almighty God!!!

My all time favorite version of this song. You need to check out some of his other songs.

David's version of O Holy Night is the best in my opinion. Another awesome song by David is "No More Night".

David is the best

Definitely the best version of this song. Nice shout out to the pianist; the late great Anthony Burger. May he rest in peace.

David is a gospel singer. He was with the Gaither Vocal Band for a few years. Check out more from him. He is fantastic

Heard him sing this last night in Broken Arrow, Ok live! Unbelievable

This song is a sacred, beautiful hymn, but his slower more powerful rendition WILL BRING YOU TO TEARS-PERSONALLY PROVED! Something moves inside you and you can't help feeling love and faith! ❤☦️🛐✝️❤ Merry Christmas to Everyone!!

Bravo .... 555 ....... 🎶🎶🎶

This is a nice morning break, I've heard of him but I believe it's the first time I've heard him sing, really enjoyed it. Thank you for helping to ring in the holiday season. Appreciate all the work you put into the video and commentary

I came across this video of David about a dozen years ago and was blown away. Recommended it to everyone. I love watching people react to it!!! Seeing their spirit wake within them when he hits that note and everyone joins in is priceless!!! Goosebumps and tears... lol

Lol.. your eyes when he hit that note. I think that's most people's reaction first time!

David is an AMAZING Christian singer. ✝️

David is the best!🙏

David is a once in a lifetime talent! And his deep Christian faith comes through in every word he sings! 💖 You should react to his performance of "He's Alive!" So very powerful! You'll be on your feet praising God even if you're not a believer! 🤗

I totally agree with the comments below. I too consider David to be the best and most versatile tenor voice I have ever heard. His humility, graciousness and ability to sing so amazingly across many genres is indeed incredible. His presentation of this song is the best. As others have said below he is still the best voice on the planet. Lyn Lockrey, Australia.

Angelic Beings there. Thank you for your reaction.

My favorite version of this beautiful song

Loved watching your facial expressions while David was singing, isn't he amazing I hope you react to more of his songs😊

He's AMAZING. Seen him live a few times❤🎉

I couldn't tell you were super amazed at listening to David Phelps, pretty much most people react the same. His voice is unbelievable, clear, powerful and he is able to do anything he wants with his voice. I hope you react to more of his videos. Thank you so much😊

David is the GOAT!

The man behind David (near the end of the song) wearing a black coat & red shirt, is Mark Lowry. He wrote an amazing poem called "Mary Did You Know" & asked Buddy Green if he could write music to it. And, boy, did he. I think you'd really enjoy reacting to Mark singing his masterpiece. Would love for you to react to "Mark Lowry, Guy Penrod, David Phelps - Mary Did You Know? [Live]". Thanks for your reaction to David. A truly gifted singer.

David Phelps does a great job live with "No More Night".

Love David Phelps!❤😊

Lol, your reaction to this is classic. I don't think anyone yet has managed to quite put it into words. I read the post of someone who was there, she said the standing ovation continued for 10 minutes. And yes that green sweater is Legendary! Merry Christmas.

Such a humble man....I loved that he felt overwhelmed with the audience response and quietly walks away and into the crowd behind him....only to to brought back to take a bow lol. so so humble. Brilliant performance. It never ceases to move me.

David Phelps is the best singer on the planet. He could sing the alphabet and it would be outstanding! He brings the same emotion every single song he sings. Still going strong at 52 years old. Check out his cover of 'I Have Nothing'!!!

David was trained in the Bel Canto method of opera singing as a Vocal Performance Major at Baylor University. His teachers wanted him to go into Broadway or opera singing, but he felt called to gospel music. This performance was at the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham.

Great reaction! David Phelps is one of the greatest vocalists of all time for sure. Hope you react to more from him... he is simply amazing.

Then the Holy Spirit shows up!!!!!🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥

Please react to david Phelps singing we shall behold him

David Phelps owns this song! The best version of all time by far.

Best tenor on the planet!! Check out No More Night., On Heaven's Shore, I Have Nothing. Let Freedom Ring ..with the Gaither Vocal Band .. Saw this in person about 20 yrs ago at Carnegie Hall in NYC.. Amazing

People forget the amazing piano play.

Best ever. I listen to it every year❤

He does sing Opera as well.

Check out NO more nights and He's Alive and Let Freedom Ring.

For a long time David sang with the Gaithers a Christian group!! David’s talent is beyond compare! David has four children that sing like angels! Listen to his daughter Maggie Beth sing Agnus dae with David! Nice reaction to a great performance!!

My all-time favorite version of this song...David Phelps is so incredibly talented. You should react to his version fo Whitney Houston's song, "I've Got Nothing"...amazing!! My second favorite version of "O Holy Night" is by none other than Home Free...they kill it too...!!

I recommend this one to people, too because it’s so powerful. I would like to recommend something else I really think you would love. The gentleman behind him in red and black is Mark Lowry. They sang together with the Gaither Vocal Band and he wrote Mary Did You Know. The acapella group Voctave features Mark Lowry singing the song he wrote and it is so incredibly moving and beautiful. ❤

You should watch his version of No More Night live version. Amazing

I've seen him hold a note for like 18 or 19 seconds before. He's Alive is an Easter song, and he literally makes me gasp for air. The pianist is the late Anthony Burger and is magnificent. He sings Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing which is excellent. I read somewhere that Whitney said he was the best male voice she had ever heard. I have recommended this to several reactors and your the second I've seen this season. I'm happy to see his exposure. David Phelps is a gospel artist and had devoted his voice in praising God. No More Night, End of the Beginning, and Let Freedom Ring are a few of his more popular performances. No video, but he had an album many years ago titled Joy Joy and had a spectacular rendition of Do You Hear What I Hear and Birthday of the King/Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Check him out some more. I promise he NEVER DISAPPOINTS

I absolutely love David Phelps he's the greatest...but please do check out Gabriel Henrique singing O Holy Night his version is great as well

David's voice was ANNOINTED BY GOD ! You should also check out his original song "Heaven's Shore" the live version.....David and Austin Brown (of Home Free) are the two best vocalists I know of !

CHECK OUT DAVID PHELPS SINGING "NO MORE NIGHT"...AWESOME!

David trained at Baylor Unoversity in Texas. His music pros wanted him to sing opera but David being a Christian wanted to sing Gospel. The piano player is the late Anthony Berger.

Pianist is the late Anthony Berger. He sadly died way too soon.

Check out more of his stuff. He's amazing. Check out his version of Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing

David Phelps is a beast when he hits those top notes

When the Holy Spirit shows up!!!!

My favorite male version.

7:50 he turned the camera off to recover. You can find this in most blind reviews of this song.

Add to your list to react to: Dead Man Rising, Just As I Am, the Whitney Houston cover I Have Nothing, among just a few of his really super songs. We go to his Barn Bash concert August 31. I have know him since his high school days. His talent is truly a special gift from our Lord God.

PLEASE show Sandy Parker singing “A Baby Changes Everything”. The music video of her singing in front of a large audience is only 5:08 minutes. This song that she sings is about WHO Christmas is truly about. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Please react to David Phelps doing the song No More Night

He didn’t go Mariah Carey, he went David Phelps

React to JUST AS I AM by David Phelps.

Sir, when You have time check out that piano player Anthony Burger, His story is so inspiring. Unfortunately, He passed at age 44. Although tragic. He died while playing "And We shall behold "HIM" ... " . His Wifed had said He Himself couldn't have written His Own ending any better than to be playing for and then to enter Heaven to a higher stage.

He ner says thank you, it's either amen or praise His name

Awesome reaction, this song SHOULD make you feel some kinda way, I would be concerned about you if it didn't. David and the Gaither crowd (all the singers behind David) are talented singers, but David is simply phenomenal.

I may have missed it but I’m sure you’ll enjoy Home Free’s version, it’s excellent. I After that an absolute MUST is the only one that I think rivals David Phelps’ majestic rendition is #Voctave; there version will leave your jaw on the floor. Both sing it with not only great dynamics that draw you in but what makes them extra-special that you picked up on in this one, is that they are singing with awe and reverence in a way that is most than just a wonderful classic Christmas hymn but with a real aspect of personal worship and belief in the lyrics. 🎶🙏

David Phelps can hold a note until the cows come home. This more like Whitney Houston. He sang his version of "I have Nothing "

Gather. Congregation. Behind. Him

He definitely took us to church, now this moves ahead of Mariah Carey not sure between this and Pentatonix, actually they are both different and great

Pianist was the late Anthony Berger. Gone way too early. Rip
