Great suggestion! I will look into these!

I think if you just listen passively then that's a decent take. I've learned from this channel that if you actually sit down and listen tousoc and analyze a song that you heard countless times you'll see it in a whole new way.

He can sing anyways 😏 his voice is good whatever genre he does

He started studying as a Cantor like his famous great grandfather. So, of course he can sing.

We knew he could sing way before he covered this song.

Thank you very much Ruthie! Glad you enjoyed. And yes, he is one of those vocalists that you rarely see, talent wise.

THANK YOU! I'm like wtf! He trippin!

He was screwing a piece of plastic, at work 🤣

How sure are you about that? Dimash uses autotune. Bublé uses autotune. Have you worked in the industry? The artists doesn't really have a say in it.

@@victormolina3601 You ever seen those devices you use to clock in? Aren't they made of plastic? I know you love David but understand how the music industry works.

I'm at least as sure, as u are, about ur nonsense. Cept u Goofy. Your theory, on his success, is garbage.

If this came directly from him then I will 100% respect him so much more for it. Can you send a link or something where he said that?

I read somewhere that the sound crew had used autotune without David's permission in a couple places during the live performance (fearing that he wouldn't be able to hit the high notes due to his illness) and David was PISSED. He HATES autotune! Then I read another story in which Draiman denies any autotune is EVER used by his band during live shows or recordings. A LOT of people insist it MUST be autotuned because of his vibrato/texture/transitions, etc., but Draiman is a huge natural talent, both classically trained and as a cantor in childhood. The control, range, diction, expression, and variety of his vocals are simply luscious. Even his speaking voice is resonant and rich (listen to some of his interviews e.g. the one with The Charismatic Voice here on KZfaq). He hasn't led a charmed life - he had a rough start and many bumps in the road since... but he's a kind, thoughtful, soulful person, and this old lady is smitten! I keep looking for REPUTABLE quotes/articles on this topic, but all I find are blogs, layman's opinions, Twitter posts, haters, and other garbage. If you find a copy of a REAL quote from David or something from a credible source, I'd like to see it!

@@cflory62 10% (max) pitch correction is industry standard. In other words every artist has it to clean up the end of phrases not the entirety of his singing. Think of it as cutting the crust off a sandwich. For the record I think pitch correction sucks. It takes away the authenticity of artist. But the 10% is really very minimal and usually doesn't work if you can't sing very well already.

Agreed!!!

I'm gonna do that one shortly.

Although I think the one with Myles Kennedy is the best! The dynamics and tone between him and Damien is incredible! Check out if you haven't!

@@laurencemayshroom5940 that version has divided opinion but I'm with you I love it!

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I really like Johnny Cash's rendition of that song. But NIN version is really good too. NIN and Trent Reznor are kind of their own breed and write music that is extremely unique and different.

@@mcflyjp yeah, for sure!!!

An amazing song for sure.

Ahh. That's the one everyone was telling me to watch to prove it's NOT autotune.

Yeah I've seen it. Was a fantastic interview.

Ok. I did it COULD be and considering it's rampant for every artist in the mainstream I wouldn't be surprised. But he sounds amazing either way.

The Conan performance DID have light auto tune applied by the Conan production team because David was very sick. He was PISSED about it. He doesn’t need it. Having seen them in concert live, he sounds just as good, if not better, than the produced versions

@@cvm2002 I rest my case. Lol. It's very unfortunate though that these things happen against the artists will. That's the real problem here

@@mcflyjp David is a very strong anti-AutoTune advocate. He has repeatedly said that if he can’t sing it live he’s cheating his fans. It’s actually quite refreshing

@@cvm2002 oh I understand completely and I commend him for it!

A lot of people have said this. Did he say that in an interview or something?

@@mcflyjp, yes. More than once. He’s a classically trained cantor. Doesn’t need auto tune. An amazing voice.

@@masoncochraniii7671 Can you link one? Bible is classically trained. Dimash is beyond human with his voice. Both have ptch correction added in post. Extremely subtle. But they do.

Thanks so much! 👍 This was from a stream a couple months ago. It's weird but I never even realized how good his voice was until I heard this. Sad it took me that long.

Then that's amazing and his voice is even better than I thought.

Thanks. Love the original and love this cover.

Yeah I've seen that video after someone else suggested it in the comments. Tha ks for the info though. Always interesting to see the motive behind a song. 😁

The good thing about Local elections is that we actually *do* have a say. So you're right there. It makes sense the style of his voice can be very operatic at times.

That is what we do here on the channel. We breakdown and analyze. It says "Full Breakdown" in the title.

Never said he needed it though. Production companies will do it anyways.

100%. Great voice.

Thank you for clearing that up. All artists fall under the industry standard of 10% pitch correction. This usually altered the ends of phrases that otherwise may have had a drop in tonality so to running out of breath or things like that.

That definitely makes a lot of sense.

Ummm I don't think I said I didn't like Disturbed. I loved them when they came out. And huge respect for David as a personj and as a singer. His voice is one of a kind. Disturbed's early stuff was great and had distorted guitars. They were rock after all.

Yeah. It definitely has the sound of pitch correction. But I commend him for speaking up!

Agreed he doesn't need it. Its unfortunate the industry makes it standard for all artists.

Never said he did. But Mainstream companies due to e correction for everyone, no exceptions.

I need to check that one out soon!

This is a really good version. I think the original stands alone as one of the greater songs of all time.

@@mcflyjp agree

You can definitely hear it here!

Woah. That last one sound every interesting. I'll have to look for it.

ALL mainstream artists have 10% pitch correction on their voice. It's an industry standard. So not T-Pain autotune. But definitely pitch correction.

It sounds like it but people seem to be mad at me for saying that in the comments. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@mcflyjp This guy breaks it down: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMWYbJB01dTDpY0.htmlsi=9JTtQCq2l91ovfrx

Makes a lot of sense for sure.

He was trained as a Cantor, not an opera singer. Cantors sing in a synagogue.

Yeah. Thinking about reacting to that one soon.

I think doing the video first is best, it is an incredible video that deserves to be seen and enjoyed.

I went from being someone who couldn't watch someone touch their eyeball to having my own impailed by a blunt instrument, two surgeries, and 14 stitches.

@@mcflyjp 😬🫣🤬

If you wanted to listen to it in its entirety then go watch the original. This is a reaction channel where we stop and analyze. Sounds like your professor was a pompous ass.

I love Conan and I loved this rendition. Seems like a no brainer.

Seen many others do it.

If you want to watch it uninterrupted that's what the original song is for.

👍

You took the time to comment. What do you think it's about?

@@mcflyjpThe neon light is TV,electronics,a Vegas world. And mans inability to communicate with each other. Want their side heard, fk ur side! Get it? Two different societies, not coexisting, due to stubbornness and or pride. But he's trying to fix it. But no one's listening.

@@victormolina3601 I see it as the inability for people to communicate. Literally but also not able to love each other, which is the most lonely you could feel, so the sounds of silence is both literal and metaphorical.

I'm just repeating what the songs creator, Paul Simon said kid. Your interpretation is cute. But, again, your wrong son!

The "creator" Paul Simon said almost word for weird what I said.

We analyze the music and lyrics on this channel. Thanks for the engagement!

Analyze when the songs over

That’s the point of a reaction video. If you want to hear the song played through, go listen to the song itself.

@@hagbard1983 🙏🏼♥️

You obviously haven't seen any of my other videos. Or the one of them doing it live. Not everyone can be on all the time.

In regards to?

67% of my current subscribers are genX. Try again brother.

@@mcflyjpGen X here! Screw all these negative, nasty people.

​@@NoCanDu❤ 🙏🏼

​@mcflyjp Xer here too. 💛

Well, I guess I'll just join the other X'ers here, because damn if I'll let you speak on my behalf.😤

Someone donates money I'm going to react to the one they tell me to react.

I disagree, I like this version more. i think the video to go with it amplifies the emotion...

@@glennwatson8826I agree. The video is amazing. I take it as (at the end) they are sending music over the “gap” so they might communicate better and fill the silence.

If you want to hear the original song then go watch the video.

Don‘t watch reactions if you want to listen to the song. Go watch the song instead.

I see you in a lot of other reactors' comments with mostly positive things to say. I'm sorry you feel I was making it about me. But I don't just listen to the song all the way through and then turn it off. I like to analyze the music. My community seems to thoroughly enjoy that. But every video is not going to be the best. Hopefully you'll find my videos informative if you look at another one.

@@mcflyjp I am so glad your community enjoys your reactions!! Maybe I wasn't impressed with your reaction to one ove my faves, but I appreciate that you personally responded to me

Sounds cryptic to me. Thanks for the engagement 🤘🏽

Mental Health? My man, if you actually listened there is a lot of personal mental turmoil to pull from. That's what we do on the channel, is find ways to resonate with the music.
