Sorry for the constant pausing! I was trying to avoid a copyright claim. If you want the full uninterrupted reaction; it's here! :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8-DfayIut_SfoE.html

Literally such a huge band. This recent international blow up is just the cherry on the cake

Well, AnnenMayKantereit blew up a while ago already in Germany/Europe with their songs "Barfuß am Klavier" and "Pocahontas", which lead to them being the biggest German indie band in a while. Giant Rooks also blew up because of their incredible musicality with their songs "Wild Stare" and later "Watershed“, and now they‘re touring with Milky Chance, a duo you probably know because of their hit "Stolen Dance"… so long story short, it’s going pretty well for both bands ☺️

Two different bands. One in one room, the other in another. Each singer belongs to a different band.

Henning is finally the getting the recognition he deserves 💕 his voice is beautiful. Annenmaykanttereit is actually one of the biggest bands in Germany right now

Both bands are very popular in Germany. Annemaykanterheit is also popular in Russia. It’s a European thing. I have been listening to both bands for years now.

These dudes have been awesome for years!

Not a nothing at all! This song is incredibly famous-it’s been redone all over the world. The original artist is Suzanne Vega, who did it mostly acapella. It came out in the 80’s. These guys redid it too.

I love how he names 30 year old Henning May a kid

Im from europe, and I know about these guys for about 5-6 years now, and I’m glad that they get recognition.

You did not do any research before, right? They’re really big in Germany already for years, AnnenMayKantereit is singing mainly in German and the singer Henning is the one with the low voice. Check out the song „Barfuß am Klavier“ (barefoot at the piano) 😊

When it first came out the first singer had this really cheeky look & smile on his face! Just adorable

They’re famous in Germany & probably other countries and they are blowing up in the US now. That’s cool. Reminds me of Craig David being the shit in Germany (when I was visiting family) and he finally showed up on MTV in America and people thought he was new 🙃 America isn’t the only place artists come from😂

So-- they are a pretty amazing German group. Let’s forget your negativity and lack of research.

6:55 anyone else notice the lack of audio in this part?

They are older talent, but they are blowing up now. The dude's voice and their performances are insane.

in the title stands "annenmaykantereit AND giant rooks" and you're wondering there are two bands. :D

This two band collaboration is fire!! 🔥

Sorry, but you're really ignorant to call AMK "nothing" 😲 They're amazing!

Sting was honored in the hall of fame concert and had a musician sing Roxanne to him. if you heard this group's cover of Roxanne with Milky Chance it's absolutely mind boggling they weren't asked to do it for Sting.

Love these two groups together!!!

They have even two bigger covers on yt. Roxanne ft. Milky Chance and Can't get you out of my head ft. Parcels. You should check these out. Their Septmber Cover is pretty nice too

As someone who has listened to their music for a while...... its crazy how they said they didn't want to blow up because they want a normal life. ...... well ..... I wish they peace in any desired way

They are actually two separate band from germany Giant Rooks they perform tours in the US too... not sure about Annenmaykantereit they perform mainly in Europe and do covers. anyway ther're both Amazing !!!

They both have incredible voices.

You should check out “AnnenMayKantereit- ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen” it’s in german but just incredible. Or to really feel his voice “Juju- Vermissen (ft. Henning May)” thats the singer with the deep voice

"Another one of those nothings" as a few people have mentioned both collaborators were doing just fine before tiktok. Maybe your referring to your channel jumping on the tiktok train? " i know nothing " that sums it up.

I have a German friend, from cologne, they are as well apparently - I just discovered this song but this is two bands come together - they’ve been around for years 😂

Call me old school but I like to research a little bit, before start talking, AnnenMayKantereit have been around for some time and they very big in German speaking countries, but I guess you just want to bandwagon profit out of a tiktok sensation and to me your critique sounds very ignorant about everything from Suzanne Vega's song and Henning May. Hope you can keep profiting.

Why did you cut it off? They continued singing at the end after that pause where you said there's still a minute remaining and then you ended it. I swear, Gen Z have the attention span of a goldfish.

3:26 he’s 30

Henning’s voice is the most soulful voices in music I have heard in a long time.

They have been some of the biggest bands in Germany for a couple of years now

Your review has me cracking up. It's accurate. These guys are amazing.

That young man with the brown t-shirt has an old man soul do you hear the sound coming from his mouth! I listen to all his song and I don’t understand the language but his voice alone have all the hair on my arm standing up!! I wish he can sing more English songs!!

The original Toms Diner was released in 1987 by Suzanne Vega. It’s huge again because Giant Rooks version sounds fantastic ( learn how to pronounce rook, it’s a bird. A crazy badass bird ) Who are you ?

Henning ♥️ the Last Concert i went to before covid started

love that song! very much enjoyed the bed rolls 😂

bro I've seen the original and this cover but not the video your showing what's the link?!

Giant rooks and annenmaykantereit collaborated so you do experience both bands. Fred is lead singer of giant rooks and Henning is lead of AMK!

I hate a lot of content on the internet. But this..this is the glory that can happen from these moments. Love this. Side note..how do you not know Tom's Dinner!?

Joke from my music teacher: look who’s standing there with the musicians? It’s the drummer…

Love this rendition...also loved the original

When they stop singing it's like they trick you to think the song is over but it's not you just had to wait a little bit more 8:56

bruh sorry to break it to you, but you recently found them out, not that they came out recently, they were there before tiktok stuff really was a thing and the original Toms Diner song can bury all of us :D

These guys are from Germany and so have a huge following!!

The original song of Toms's Diner was written and recorded by Susanne Vegas. The song is just about the same as the original. Except for the lead singers are from 2 different German bands. The combination of the two different voices is very cool. The lead singer for the one band with 3 names has this extremely rich, deep , and raspy voice which is why the song is so popular. It was recorded in 3019 and has gained over 70 million views. The band a mix of both bands in 2 different rooms really compliment the voices. Hannan May is the guy with the deep voice and his band named after the 3 guys who started the band usually sing in just German and has cut several CD's. Tgd other band GIANT ROOK, who's lead singer Fredrick sings in both languages and had tour in the US to open for another band. This is one sweet collaboration and I would not classify it as rock, even though both bands sing Rock, usually original music. This guy's play multiple instruments, and you can find a lit of music for both bands on KZfaq

The other guy with the sweet voice can clearly also make his voice sound super deep - if you keep watching you will see him go ham

Once upon a time ago: It was a combination of Suzanne Vega's original Tom's Diner acapela and a recording of hockey crowds that allowed the nerds to invent MP3 format of compression without loss of quality.

Sasquash of singing hahahahahahah i love it

Love these guys the horns, strings! These guys rock!!!!

He reminds me a bit of Huey Lewis. The group has been around for 10 years. I think they've been to the US on tour before, and I heard they are coming to the states on tour again. Here's to hoping it's close enough to drive to see.

In France in the 90’s we used to have a singer called Garou; they have almost exactly the same voice … he participated in the comedy musical “ Norte dame de Paris”…

I listen to this version at least once a week....I have to say they have aced the remake 1000%. This is an amazing hole to tumble into and even if you don't understand German (like me!) you appreciate their vibe. Their version of Bang Bang is amazing!! HEY that isn't the end of the SONG!!!!!!

Fredrick from Giant Rook plays guitar, keyboards and drums, he is the other voice. Sweeter. Like I said he sing in German and English and it looked like ghere were 5 in the band. The other band has quite a larger band on stage including brass section. The singer with the deep voice is Hannon May. He has that rich Gravelly bluesy voice which you can hear in his songs. He can sing very high if he wants to. He said he had a hard time when singing this song because he had to sing in the other bands singer Frederick's key. So that may attribute to a little more of the straining in his throat saying that in his key. But I think he loved what he did with it and put his ball into that song as you can tell. He play guitar, keyboard and piano. Thd original song is from Suzanne Vega and the music and words are the same except they've added a lot more flavor to the music. They enhance and still stay true to the song. There is a video of Hannon May singing with another guy Roxanne not in the studio and some building that has Rubble around it. But some of the band is there definitely the three leads and the guy with the trumpet somebody hitting a small drum set, definitely worth checking it out. I think if this guy can learn to sing Everything in English I think he could be the next vague recording star. I've listened to his songs in German even though I don't know what he's saying it sounds good.. they showed at one of the concerts that Frederick from giant rock showed up run them out on stage so that they could sing Tom Steiner together. Of course the whole introduction I was in German. I hope you enjoy listening to the song because it's kind of addicting to listen to the blend of the voices and music you know they must have practice in time everything to the second to get that song that perfect in a live recording.

That second dudes voice is amazing

The kid sounds like Louie Armstrong. Both of their voices give me chills.

Annenmaykantereit had about 1.4 million subscribers before now they are pretty close to 2 million. But they were already huge in Germany they basically sing German songs cuz they are Germans but sometimes they do some English covers and they also have some original English singles but the truth is that their German songs are pretty as much as the English ones they have 3 albums in German. The other band Giant Rooks only sings in English they already have an album. By the way, the song had had 28 million views on KZfaq before it became a trend. And that kid is 30 by the way😂

Does anyone have any recommendations of artists that sounds like the second dude that sung? (Like deep deep voices, preferably country or rock, or alternative.)

The cover is great - heard it this week...I'm not mad about it.

I agree they fit together too. Listen to Valerie (Cover) great too.

i love henning may and the fact that giant rooks is touring with milky chance is a dream. if only i can see them tour here

Henning (dude with low voice) was around 28 y/o here, I think. The first band is Annenmaykantereit (Henning, the dude in the brown shirt belongs to that one) the 2nd room is the band called Giant Rooks. With Frederick as frontman. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psuSptdh1rK7fXU.html check out this Justin Timberlake Cover by them.

That "In " is the nastiest thing ever amazing

I love this dude

You said you're a drummer, so you'll really appreciate AMKs Lass iss Kreisen. Especially the very end Severin Kantereit is a phenomenal percussionist.

I will love to hear him singing with Winter Wolf… two very good raspy voices 😍😍

Please hear, Annenmaykantereit - Roxanne ( feat. Milky Chance) toooooo smooth

I'm so fkn happy that i have never heard of this version of the song when it's so popular on TikTok.

I’m sure it’s frustrating to see them blow up- however you know for a fact that his voice is amazing and shocking to hear come out of that tiny body. Lol

Bro u skipped the last part wtf

Why you cut some parts out

THESE dudes are going places. Cool Rx

See… I didn’t even know that they redid a cover of this. This was something that was popular when I 1st started high school back in 90-1’. I think that it was on the top 100 I think. The thing about the song… or the version that most people commonly know is it’s the remix that some DJ can up. Originally it was just the singer singing the song & telling the tell, but the DJ didn’t like the song & put a beat to it. That’s what made it popular. The record company was originally was going to sue him for it, but since the singer liked it… they let it go. Here’s a vid of it on YT kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJqap6x1xsvFh30.html

yeah, listen to the original Suzanne Vega. but do what I didn't get a chance to do - listen to her a capella before the DNA cover, which is also awesome

You HAVE TO listen to that album by Suzanne Vega. The original is a great song. The album most popular song is LUKA. A story about a boy who is abused by his parents and how he struggles with his life. I'm not sure about the genesis of the song, but I read that it is based on a real story. She, Suzanne , was a neighbor to the boy and his real name is LUKA. I say "is" because I hope he is alive and well. Tom's Dinner is another story. Listen to the original guys.

This are two Bands. And Do it in two Rooms in the beginning

There ist Cover from the Parcels and AnnenMayKantereit you have to listen on KZfaq

The last minute still had some vocals.

Im way late to this party, but if you like how unique annanmay's voice is. You should listen to a man named Colter Wall. He's 24 now I believe and sounds like Jonnie Cash. I promise his voice will blow your mind.

The giant rooks did a cover of life on Mars and I found it tonight I'm obsessed!🥰

I think this song came out 3 years ago despite it being rediscovered right now.

This guys worked the last 10 years from underdogs to the head of a subgenre

You're not stupid, just too young to remember the original song. I'm old enough to remember hearing Suzanne Vega sing it in the late 80s, and I don't even know if she was the first.

The original version is the best, the young man got vocals tho 🤙.. both of them*

I absolutely love the way they sign this song,

The original was a quiet song about a guy going about his day - a day like the hundred days before and what he might expect for the next hundred more. The a cappella was a bit dry but the song demands subtlety. DNA put a trip hop mood on their remix. Not bad but it would have been much better without all the bass...but that was the style back then. Not too crazy about this interpretation. It takes a quiet story and turns it into a performance. The look and sound makes me think of those obnoxious iPod commercials. And TikTok continues its grand tradition of hosting annoying sounds on infinite repeat.

The audio cuts out from 6:54-7:24

More please ❤

Great, nice guy ... they were playing in my area as street musicians from time to time!

You know that the original Tom's diner was the blueprint for the MP3 algorithm so there would literally be no modern digital compression without this track!

Henning May the guy singing with a deep voice sounded like an Old Soul... Beautiful...👌

AnnenMayKanterit is freaking 🔥🔥🔥🔥 They need to do an American Tour.

You also have to listen to the cover of Roxanne with Milky Chance (and AnnenMayKantereit)

They band "Annenmaykantereit" was famous in Germany before that Tiktok-thing. In Germany they play sold-out concerts in front of 25,000 people. That is not "nothing".

Joe Cocker meets Seal.

I realize a lot of your viewers are not old enough to recognize that low vocal style with a sort of smoky growling affect. It is based on the vocals from a song from the very first Chicago album when they were known as “Chicago transit Authority“. If you look it up it’s a great sound and style. It’s also a little bit similar to the singing style of David Clayton Thomas who was a Canadian vocalist that was the lead singer for the group called “ blood sweat and tears“. There you have it, that should solve the little mystery about this guys singing style and what inspired him. Thank you, thank you very much.

Check out their Roxanne cover. It is just as mind blowing as this! You missed the last part.

It's not only the song he's voice is taking over

AnnenMay... ROCKS!!!
