I love the stunned silence before the audience explodes. THAT is the hallmark of a masterpiece performance.

This performance is spellbinding. It really is. In reality, it is literally one of the best live performances of all time. There aren’t many in that category, but this is surely one of them.

Yes, he is that good....this is the one performance I’ve never forgotten about once it’s over. From the time he finishes the song and the pause from the audience speaks for itself.

The rapt attention by the audience and the two second silence at the end of the song say it all. Great reaction!

He gives me chills. I'll bet I've watched this performance 30 times!

I’ll never get tired of seeing people watch this, Brian’s voice can only be described as mesmerising

I get chills every time I hear him sing this song. Before this I had never heard this song before. I cannot listen to anyone else sing this even the original without going back to his version.

I love the way he does "Creep" but listen to him sing "Tell him".

I sobbed throughout that entire performance. So moving, and to see his mum burst with pride, beautiful!

Lots of emotion in that. He killed it and what Howie said at the end is so true!

Thank you for not interrupting while he sang the entire song!! He is one of my favorite male singers this year!! Please check out Tom Ball singing in the finale in Britain's Got Talent this year!! Another amazing and powerful voice! By the way, I am 71 years old and love all music except rap! I am also a tea lover! Have you tried English Breakfast Tea? It is my favorite and is a strong rich black tea!

The mesmerizing silence and attention he received from the Audience is legendary

Brian Crum is amazing. I saved this video way back then. He gets you in the feels from the very beginning. Mesmerizing and so emotional.

So many feels. All of them. Brian Justin Crum is an inspiration.

So glad that you did this one! I shed tears every time I watch this since he first performed on AGT. He has some really good songs out there and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Great reaction Travis!

I have watched this so many times and he brings tears to my eyes every time, I love his version of this song ♥️

That moment when Simon is just stunned means you won life vocally.

I cry every time I hear him sing this

Damn this guy sounds soooo good!!! My favorite of all singers is now him. Goosebumps everywhere!! ♥️

The audiences reaction was priceless!He has an awesome voice!

No one there moved from the first note. Captivating.

Simon said what Brian’s magic is. He performs to entertain and make people feel the feels. Much love and blessings to this gifted singer.

That audition, hands down, is fucking superb!!! I've watched it so many times and each time, I still cannot fully process just how brilliant that composition and delivery was ❤❤❤

I've heard this video at least 50 times and literally get goose bumps every time and I Love watching the reaction and surprise at how Special this Man IS....Love Love Brian Justin Crum and I hope He's Happy🤗

If that performance doesn't bring you to tears....you're dead inside.

the pure dead silence blows me away every time I see this he had EVERYONE in awe

Brian is just an incredible singer & well deserved. Watched all his songs on Americas got talent. Just SUPERB!!!!!!

I watched this on tv and held my breath through the entire song, and for the several seconds of awe from the audience and then I burst into tears! He is phenomenal! Loved your reaction…it was so genuine!! ❤️

Thank you for doing this reaction. I think he is amazing! You are great too.

Crying my eyes out here!!! Not only because of Brians amazing performance, but also because of your reaction!! Love from italy♡♡♡

I truly felt all his pain. Incredible job. Fantastic voice.

Diversity makes the world go round... and that makes everything special.

That’s the same reaction I had, absolutely mind blowing …gives me chills .

He is the ONLY person that has ever sung this song and I liked it……he’s AMAZING!

This was an amazing performance. I felt as if he was singing to me. We all feel like weirdos. I admire him

Definiitely one of the VERY BEST ever on the show. I remember I was watching the show and not paying much attention the first time I heard it. BUT, the first word out of his mouth brought me right INTO the show and his performance. The pause at the end of utter silence by the huge audience showed the POWER that he held over them. The utmost respect an audience can ever give a singer. Every time i see a review on here I have to listen to it. You gave one of the best. You let YOUR emotions show and your followers love you for that reason. Congratulations.

Great review Travis. One of the things that made the performance even more meaningful was the background of his life experience explained to the audience. He had the balls to change "she's running out to he's running out" which added so much more honesty to his performance. It was brave as hell and was the frosting on the cake. 3 seconds passes before the audience applauded which means he held them spellbound. Unbelievable. You should review his Someone to love by Queen. It's amazing too.

We ALL relate to him in this. The truth is we all feel these powerful lyrics. And his beautiful voice goes deep into our hearts. I certainly feel like a creep and weirdo too often. That’s why I struggle with such angst and lack of confidence as a singer and songwriter. I doubt people could ever like what I do. Anyway, when he sings this, it makes me tear up. Every time. What a talent and what a performance. I’ve never heard this audience so silent at the end. He took us all places. Together. This was so powerful and moving. Thanks, Travis for reacting to this. If I could I’d give you a hug. He reminds us we are all in this together. Thank God.

There's like 2 entire seconds of dead silence in the ENTIRE crowd after he stopped. This is maybe the most impactful performance I've ever seen.

He used his emotions to better himself. Brilliant!

Love your reactions and I agree this one was phenomenal. Love this guy and his rendition of this song. Absolutely amazing!! Love you Brian Justin Crum❤

Amazing, just had to watch it three more times. Got chills every time! What a sensation, what a voice, He should have WON!!!!!

Loved this reaction so much!! Thank you! If you want to see more of Brian Justin Crum, you really should check out his version of Shallow and all of his America’s got Talent performances and America’s got Talent The Champions performances as well! You won’t be disappointed, I promise!!

Like you, I’m not the obvious talent Brian is, but I can so completely relate to the problems he describes earlier in his life. I used to fear being called a “weirdo” and being so painfully different from most other people. That kind of hurt can either destroy you or it can make you stronger. I think we can all see that the psychic cuts and bruises that he survived and conquered not only made him the strong man he seems today, it has made him the beautiful, powerful talent he is today. Hearing him sing that most affectingly-haunting song, you’d think it was his own personal anthem…he owned it…and I know that his breathtaking performance touched so many more hearts than he will ever know. Thank you, Travis, for blessing us all with this most humbling performance. Long may he (and you) wave! 😉👍

I’ve watched this countless times and it still gets me every time….

He has a mega voice. The emotion, delivery and range. All that bullying helped give him that ability to share the pain and revel in the good times. A masterclass.

We are all creeps and weirdos in one way or another, but we ALL belong!! I was cruelly made fun of and bullied through middle school for my looks and being the smart kid. I hated myself. But I choose to see that experience as a positive thing, because it helped me become the strong and confident person I am now. We should all view our dark pasts in this way.

Thank you for reacting to Brian's performance. It still makes me cry after all these years. He has more beautiful songs that I hope you'll react to at some time. Please react to Pentatonix "Havana" and "New Rules x Are You That Somebody?".

I believe in you & Brian Justin Crum, both wonderful men. He is just a fabulous singer, really amazing!! Love him. xxx

Kathy here - just found your channel. I love this version of Creep by Brian. He slayed it and the audience was just silent during the entire performance, with their mouths just open, until it's over, and then complete silence, for about 5 seconds, and then the audience erupted with applause. You need to check out the rest of his songs from America's Got Talent. But if you want to listen to another version of Creep, check out Post Modern Jukebox, featuring Haley Reinhart. Totally different vibe than any other version you will hear of Creep.

He told the story then ripped our hearts out..and left us on our knees

I loved your reaction because that is how I felt the first time I saw this: stunned. I still come back to watch it about once a week and it never fails to give me the chills and make me cry. He is simply stunning ❤

My absolute favorites rendition of this song, amazing ❤️ Brian is a vocal story teller, drawing you in with the soft whisper so you have to listen and then he makes your heart stop with the explosion, you can finally breathe again but remain silent.

I have related to the lyrics of Creep since I first heard it on the radio. But Brian's performance made it oh-so-personal! And thank you for your honest reaction!

Stunned silence 🤯 I get chills e v e r y time I hear Brian's version ❤️

Hi Travis, I absolutely love watching people with their first reactions especially when it’s someone who’s talent and personality is so enjoyable to me. I absolutely fell in love with Brian on his AGT walk and just absolutely love his voice, I love the power of his presentation and I just pray his future continues to soar to the sky. I’ve always been very fond of Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion and they got together and did a duet called “tell him” and I’m telling you Brian Justin Crum and Matt Bloyd got together and did the same song “tell him“ and it yet it just knocked me, you really just have to hear that song I I know that you would love it, the things you will feel in that song or just unbelievable. Well I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Keep up the great work.❤

I agree he is a superstar!!! I wonder why he’s not and not on the radio . I miss him!!

You need to see him live! Simply stunning and amazing live!!

No one is better than Brian Justin Crum

I will NEVER tire of watching and listening to this performance. I sob throughout, every time.

Goosebumps every time I listen to this!

you could hear a pin drop during his song..that is true talent......

When they throw bricks at you, use them to build your house! I never get tired of this video, he's amazing!

Thank you so much for reacting to this song by Justin. I had goosebumps throughout this amazing performance. It has become one of my all time favorite songs. It’s unbelievable that he came in second on this show. Keep the PTX reactions coming because you are becoming one of favorite reactors. I love you showing your emotions💕💕💕💕

Pure perfection, I have no other words!!

Wow, wonderful reaction. I'm so glad you did this one and not just his performance. He is incredible.

Thank you. I've been trying to get some reactions to this! He is such a fav! What a voice!

I actually subbed on your ‘Rise’ video. I am a straight guy with a Gay son and I can totally relate to Brian’s mother. I am so proud of what he has achieved. I am so happy that Superfruit are in the position that they can send the message they did. I’ll be checking out your other videos and look forward to what comes next. Brian’s performance was phenomenal and the audiences reaction was priceless. Good job.

Iam 75 years old and this was the most beautiful song and moving it made me cry.

I've watched a few of your videos before and so I knew what you would be like watching this. That you would relate to it more than most reactors do because of who you are. The only surprise to me was that you'd never heard of him before 😮.

Your face when he started those notes....i think all of us did that the first time. Lol. But glad you enjoyed it. Brian is great.

Travis: I’ve watched this very video, I swear, hundreds of times, and each time am moved to tears by the power and substance of his voice. This time the video played, though, I watched YOU. I noticed that you swing in your chair as you’re doing your intro.(and who doesn’t love those twirling office chairs?). What I observed was stunning. You were moving back and forth, but literally the VERY FIRST NOTE that came out of Brian’s mouth, you just STOPPED and sat , unmoving and transfixed by the sound in front of you. …. Can’t tell you how much that affected me! Seeing your physical reaction- amazing. Thank you for a beautiful review. And you’re right, he SHOULD be a superstar. Not sure why the radio isn’t flooded with his music, but as long as he’s found a way to do his music that makes him happy, that’s all that’s needed. One very talented, special man, for sure.❤️🇨🇦

I love the look on your face after you started the video again. All I could say was you haven't heard the most shocking part. He is amazing.

This Song Has Been One Of My FAVS OF ALL TIME ON AGT..BRIAN IS MY FAV SINGER FROM AGT !!!!!

Fantastic reaction, Travis!❤ I appreciate your sincere emotions. The middle part of his rendition goes right through my soul. Thanks for sharing and keep it coming!😊❤ And congratz on your transformation! You look fantastic!🥰

He has a beautiful voice but I think his greatest talent is how he can sing out the pain so EveryonE can relate to it, no matter their own life experiences.

Thanks for a great reaction. He makes you feel him.

His back story is absolutely heart wrenching, but it turns out so uplifting! His mother is an angel and so supportive! His voice is a dream and also so powerful! Thank you for reacting to this true talent!

Your reaction wqas so compelling too, Now you said it all for you and for me. Just the look on your face well watching him sing said it all. love

Thanks for this! That pregnant pause at the end before the audience goes wild? Gets me every time :D

This gives me goosebumps and tears everytime! One of my favourite songs of all time 💗 his voice is insane 😍 it sends you on an emotional rollercoaster, so talented!!

You get that music can at times be more than just pleasant. It can touch our heart and soul. I think it’s time you reacted to PTXs take on John Lennon’s Imagine. Like this brilliant performance. You will be moved.

Thank you Travis… you might not understand why I’m thankful but… just thank you!❤❤❤

I knew you’d appreciate him. It’s nearly impossible not to feel every note. He holds that note for so long and doesn’t look like he had to stop for a breath. I had called also recommended his 1st audition Somebody to Love. Brian May from Queen invited Crum to perform a couple nights with Queen on their musical. There are others from performances on AGT but he was brought back to the 1st AGT Champions where he performed Elton John’s Your Song & Never Enough from the Greatest Showman. I’d recommend going from Somebody to Love to Your Song & Never Enough. Simon tells him he should focus on the types of songs and I hope Simon or some producers are working on something big for him. In the meantime he released a single called Circles. I’m not in love with it. I bought it to support Brian but it’s not my favorite. He’s also released some cover videos where it’s not over produced. Just him in the studio and they’re impressive. The thing with shows like AGT is that it’s live Great reaction Travis. I’m subscribed ✌️💚

Absolute perfection!

BJC and Alfie Boe are my two favorite singers out of all the types of genres. I remember when Brian auditioned...he hooked me. But this song...he reaches into my heart and helps to heal the decades of pain from being "different"...what a beautiful gift.

Wasn’t he great? I get the chills every time I hear him sing✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

You need to watch the end again and not stop it and wait for the audience reaction. That was the biggest compliment of all the total silence before reaction

Brian's version is very emotional and I love it. There is another version that will blow you away by Haley Reinhart with Post Modern Jukebox. Haley placed 3rd on American Idol in 2011 and most believe she should have won. She has had a relatively successful career since and has the jazziest and bluesiest voice. Her version has 100 million views since released in 2015. Haley has been my favorite singer since American Idol until I discovered Angelina Jordan who now shares that spot. Loving your channel Travis!!!

From Ireland Your reaction was exactly like mine when I heard him the first time, as I felt so long ago hearing Bob Dylan "... I'm going out of my mind, oh With a pain that stops and starts Like a corkscrew to my heart ...".

I subbed for PTX, but Brian Justin Crum is right up there and a pure pleasure to hear. So glad you reacted to this.

I do have to say that for some reason this is my favorite reaction video of this particular song and I've watched quite a few of them. ♥️

I can't help but watch this performance over and over. The power, the precision, the passion, it just overloads my senses.

I feel I was suppose to watch this with you (seen it many, many times) but when you stated that you could relate to his words, you deeply touched my heart. You are a wonderful, beautiful man. Please believe me ( I'm 75 yrs old) so this is just a person that sees your beautiful smile and your beautiful eyes and your heart. You have lots of years to go with lots of memories, some good, some bad, but the world is a better place because you are in it. I am so, so happy to meet you.

You are very special Brian. God gave you such a beautiful gift. I felt every word.

We all have a past, beside all that.. I STILL CAN NOT BELIEVE HE DID NOT WIN THE COMPLETION!!!!! I am blown away by the loss!!

So awesome to see your reaction to this! I love this performance. I found this during the pandemic and have watched it probably a thousand times. It never gets old! Love it

Travis your reaction was wonderful thankyou. Brian version was the best that I've heard of Creep.❤

Loved the reaction. Brian is a powerhouse with such control when he sings.💕

You need to check out his first audition where he does Somebody to Love by Queen.
