"I'll close my eyes so I cannot see the love that you don't feel when you're holding me." Holy shi-

one of the best voices ever......huge fan of teddy

The visual of him being this specific dude, wearing a hoodie and hidden behind hair, actually makes it cooler. Putting a face to the voice we see when we close our eyes. He’s adorable.

He has a voice you just don’t hear , you feel. It’s just guttural and completely emotional.

Sweat don't make you sniffle ...You sang it so good you made your self cry ...Great job Teddy !!

Marc, you hit the nail on the head when you said the vocalist needs to act out the emotional intention of the song. In my opinion, all of the power of vocal persuasion comes from a dynamic emotional portrayal of the lyrical storyline. With Teddy, in the same fashion a true A-list actor approaches their craft, he immerses himself in the lyrical message, then paints the picture with the character he knows best how to control to get that emotion across with spectacular intention. He is truly an anomaly among vocalists just about as captivating as Floor Jansen who is the lead singer in the Finnish band Nightwish. If you haven’t heard her do her thing, that’s one you HAVE to do a first time reaction to going in blind with Ghost Love Score performed live in 2013 at the Wacken Festival. Literally one of the most perfect live performances I have ever witnessed. I can’t wait to hear this Teddy in a couple years from now when he has some real financial juice behind him to truly live his music all day everyday. And that is exactly what he will do given it’s so obvious how deeply he loves his craft and the attention his talents have induced. You can tell the show offs that are in it for money and getting laid, lol. Teddy IS music and the fruits will just come since his focus is on the quality of his presentation and not the fruits of the passion which almost always rises a spectacular talent to a sustainable long term career instead of a flash in the pan. Make sense?? Great reaction and analysis. Thank you!!

I absolutely loved what you said in this reaction, I first heard Teddy sing about a year ago and I have been hooked ever since because of his talent and sincerity. This man melts my heart💜 Blessings and love from the UK🙏🌍🕊

Teddy Swims made me teary eyed. Great reaction!

you won my vote sir!... beautiful reaction of this absolute beautiful song...

Between his voice and your facial expressions, I went on a whole ass journey of emotions.

He is amazing!

Great song and Teddy is Great I write and Sing and he is my favorite.

Waitttt!! Oh my gosh! I suggested this!! I’m so happy!! This made my day!! Oh my gosh Thank you so much! I’m so honored!!! 💗💗

So soulful. So much emotion. So well done. Thank you again for such a great video.

This just makes me so jealous. I want that voice

Thank u for the Teddy reaction please give us more😍😍

i Love Teddy Swim.He just touches my spirit when he sings. His tone is beautiful. his falsetto blended with his mainstream vocal in soooo profound

Tedy is one of my faves! That voice pierces your heart!

I adore listening to a fine human voice and I adore your commentary. thank you so much often when listening to someone masterfully singing, I get chills. I have to put on a sweater when I tune in to your KZfaqs 'cause i know there will be goosebumps

Amazing!! Thanks MDP!

I cannot listen to this without tears - incredibly beautiful and full of feeling. Stunning. Thanks Marc, one of my highlights

Teddy's vibrato is unfair, and he uses it as a brilliant weapon.

So....you have found one of the three bearded gods of singing the sad, the blues and the sorrow. You are missing the two named Chris: Stapleton and Cläfford. I would suggest Kläfford with his kitchen session of "Ocean Eyes" and then Stapleton singing the most bluesy version of "Tennessee Whiskey" you will ever hear!

No fucking auto tune. Just a great voice.

I've watched professionals react to teddy and too often they only hear the technical side. Rarely do they enjoy it like we do. Great job hearing both sides. Cover teddy... And I'll watch. That's the way most of his fans are. I believe he was also apart of metal group called Linkin Park. Resides near atlanta. Covid has slowed album with Warner.

That song is one of my lifetime favorites Bonnie raitt did an amazing job and I thought no one would ever top her and I've seen a lot of covers and no one came close, but he bested her and pretty much everyone he has covered. his voice is like butter is the only thing I think of ...even with the gravel it's still so soothing and soaks into your soul. I love singing have always I usually sing along ,not him I just close my eyes and absorb it. No matter how many times I've heard it. He is the real deal and you made a good point in the beginning and I've said it before some of the most successful people are the ones who don't let themselves get pigeonholed into one genre Kelly Clarkson would be someone I would say doesn't belong to any genres she is her own genre Teddy swims doesn't belong to any specific genre either I've seen him cover Rock I've seen him cover country I've seen him cover pop and it's all amazing.. I am ashamed to admit I had no idea who he was until the Meghan Trainor duet but gosh he is beyond amazing. I have since listened to almost his entire catalog. And just for laughs he threw in a song called Broke with Thomas Rhett hilarious song even funnier video just shows that he doesn't have to always be the soulful painful one.

Your videos are amazing. And you make the videos for most of my favourite songs. I found your channel and I'm kinda shook😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️

Loved it!

HANDS DOWN...WOW!!! NEVER HEARD IT OUTSIDE OF NANCY WILSON. SO GOOD AND I UNDERSTAND THE WORD DIRTY BUT SO HURTFUL AND THE HEART SOOO CONNECTED. I FEEL YOU DUDE...

I'm partial to Bonnie's version, but there's no denying this man's talent.

He is very good. I love that song ❤️

Love this version. What a talent !!! Marc please I would love to see your reaction to Lara Fabian ( Je Suis Malade). Please!!!

I feel like you need to listen to Yebba performing ‘my mind’ it’ll make you weep 😭 perfect masterclass on rawness and feeling! Love your reactions MDP!

Loved your reaction to this song and artist. You are in your perfect job because you have such a grasp on the nuances of human emotion when it comes to performance. His enactment of this song still prods at my emotions due to his persona and power within this recording and that's no mean feat after viewimg it for about 2 years. Loved your assessment and your vision / evaluation of Teddy's talents. thanks for your insight, UK bloke.

I have a musical theater and show choir background so managing to get emotions across is something that you're trying to do I think it helps him significantly in what he does even though it's not musical theater

💗💗💗

This is an example of someone who's truly "invested" in this song.

it's maybe not the type of format you'd usually go for on your channel but it would be amazing to see your reaction to the senior entrance MT20 video!

React to more of miss saigon!

do welcome home finale from bandstand! or any laura osnes!!!

I’d love to hear him sing it with Bonnie Raitt!

Could you include the link to the video you‘re reacting to in the videodescription?

Could you react to one of the performances in the Duet episode of The Flash?

please react to park hyo shin- wildflower! There's so much emotion and the lyrics are so meaningful! Please react to the live version!!!

You should see the “stank” he puts on Tennessee whiskey.

He does the same thing on Don’t patronize

You say, "Getting the message of the song across is always more important than a perfect vocal." An example: A couple years or so ago I was browsing KZfaq. I like to see the Got Talent shows from around the world and ran across an episode of Ukraine's Got Talent and the singer Yevgeny Litvinkovich. I don't speak Ukrainian, but I figured out he had to get permission from the judges to sing an Israeli song although in Ukrainian, or is it Russian? I don't understand a word, but Yegeny obviously "gets the message of the song across" to his audience. I invite you to watch it. It's a remarkable performance. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pq5-rLBhydKvqXU.html

Please react to Teddy Swims cover of Billie Eilish's Idontwannabeyouanymore!

Btw..I appreciate your heart…

Teddy makes love with his voice, and you, sir, are a very attractive man. Good reactions! I subbed.

Have you watched “loose control” by him

Has to “feel” the song to sing it that way.

If you want a fantastic acting through song performance, try Lara Fabian - Je Suis Malade

My favourite version is George Michael’s

People keep on mentioning Adele doing this song when it is an old Bonnie Raitt song.

Just for something different you might enjoy Dimash singing Opera 2

He is good, but have you heard Aaron Tveit sing the same song? He does a mashup with All I Want, and there's no body better. Seriously, listen to Aaron's version.

I don’t know why but sometimes l feel like MDP likes the sound of his own voice when he is talking, because he repeats what he says a lot.

I had never heard of Teddy Swims. No doubt, there is a natural voice which is at times is smooth, silky. That said, I personally am not a fan of a raspy voice. For me, it detracts from the lyrical, easy, relaxed sound that Teddy occasionally delivers. I suppose if one is looking for a singer who emotes, then Teddy's the one. I'm greedy so I want it all. The raspy voice is a clear sign of the imbalance of the vocal chords coming together and over time can lead to vocal damage. So, when I hear that raspy sound I'm reminded of "Uh oh...there's something vocally wrong." Teddy, in my opinion, has a fine instrument and at times it is pleasing to my ear. Just not a fan of the rasp. So, I am so looking forward to that video featuring Marc Daniel Patrick.

Could you BE any cuter?

Ugh...my opinion, .I prefer not constant talking through the songs. Especially if you have never heard the songs. Very distracting and frustration. Some actually do wait until the end for comments etc. Perfect!! You cut at the most important part at the end.. not my cup of tea reaction. Will move on...thanks for the half listem
