Shwekey is most known for the energy he brings to every performance. It doesn't matter when or where, he's able to get a crowd going. He has that stage presence that's so infectious. A funny anecdote: I was once at a concert where he headlined a show alongside Miami Boys Choir. It was a sold out show (not even standing room left) and the security guards had a tough time controlling some of the crowd who just jumped up on stage (uninvited) to dance with him! Of course, he just took it in stride and waved the guards off!

You know which song you would love from him? It’s called a mothers promise It’s about a mothers promise to love their kid even with special needs Amazing song!!! Listen to it!!

You gotta listen to his slow songs. ‘Search We are a miracle, your time’. He is great at concerts and is usually in headlines in advertisements for these concerts. And he is great at connecting to the crowd and getting them to sing and feel it.

Whether you’re blown away or not, Shwekey is an international mega star in Jewish music. He tours around the world and sells out massive venues. Check out his mi sheberach song in tribute to the Israeli army. Many of the soldiers are in attendance. Check out the live in Nokia version. Millions of views.

Spot on as always. Keep up the great content.

It was *his* show. He's American, but sings a lot of songs in Hebrew as well. You can check out his song "I can be" or "I am alive" (music videos). Best check out "vehi sheamda" from live park (slow song).

Love your content please keep them coming

Dude, I love your reactions

Shwekey is very versatile. He's done a bunch of different styles over the years. His CDs and tapes and concerts are a lot of different styles.

His family is middle eastern and his voice is muddle eastern. I've heard him sing Sephardic songs to Israeli and French Sephardic audiences, and it's a totally different experience than listening to his usual Ashkenazi stuff. Either style, he has an incredible stage presence and really gets the audience revved up. Incidentally, he is also one of the nicest people you could hope to meet.

5:20 He's sort of a combination of the Miami Boys Choir style and Israeli style. His earlier albums were more the MBC style and he later adopted an Israeli style as well. Btw he is American

yaakov shwekey sing in English, hebrew and Yiddish, all very fluent. sterling silver voice. check out another song from him,SHWEKEY - I Am Alive

The song title means "Israel Endures", which could explain the Star Of David. But it also could just be decorative as a common Jewish symbol.

He is not a Israel singer he lives in New Jersey but he sings world wide

Shwekey is a huge star. I’ll recommend you watch his slow songs tough

Ty for listening to the suggestion 👏

I think that much of the vibe is also about the lyrics in this song and will often bring up intense emotions for Jewish people.

Definitely check out We are a Miracle - Yaakov Shwekey - it's a very powerful song with a great video

As a child he sang in Miami boys choir. But he didn't get solos

Yes, this is all him. He puts on these big overblown shows. Very powerful production. The meaning of the song is (paraphrasing) that despite the persecution and torture that the Jewish nation has been though, "netzach yisrael" Jewish resilience is for real! In short.

I did the backup vocals on this song on the original album, which is played back behind him…

I would like to see him review shwekey's ben bag bag because that song encapsulates all of shwekey's styles yet is still from his older days and retains his more yeshiva-Bochur song style plus is more religious-focused in nature and Portuguese pai seems to relate well to those, also it's both slow and melodic at the same time as having a pace and tempo. I think it would be a good song for him to review

This performance I was at "Live Park" only by "Shawaki", he is an American ultra-orthodox... the song is called "Netzach Yisrael", the one that talks about Jewish pride

He's American. He spent every summer of his youth in another summer camp so when he finally put out his first album it was number 1 bc every one felt like we knew him well

Loving all the reaction videos, It seems to me you like the more soulful music, I would really recommend trying a reaction to Abie Rotenberg.

He is one of the kings

Check out "peace" by yoni z and yanky lemmer very different voices and really wonderful.

Great review! Please react to Yakov Shwekey, Mi Sheberach.

Shweky is a legend

1:44 yooo very good pronunciation on the "ch" most people struggle with it

his live park chuppa medley is good

Yes, Journey is a good comparison because of the emotion in it. But you won’t be blown away until you can understand the lyrics and their broader/deeper meanings.

I think you should get some sort of advisor on which songs are a good representation of the specific artist you are reviewing. Because on a few of your reviews in which you weren't so impressed people commented on the song choice. I think this could make your video's even greater than they already are.

He is basically the consert guy

Can you pls do one of his best songs from Yaakov Shwekey we are a miracle

Yaakov shwekey is from the top 3 Jewish Hasidic singers. He is an American living in Deal, New Jersey. This particular concert was his own show featuring himself and I think he had some guest stars as well. This concert took place in Israel, the songs talks about the Jewish nation that we will always win and prevail against all the hate hence the Star of David!!!!!!

Yaakov Shwekey the Taylor Swift of Jewish music - omg that is the call of the century!! Seriously, ur gona see alot of beating on him in the comments.

9:09 - The term "Netzach Yisrael" is a reference to the continuation of the Jewish people. Therefor, the Star of David would be relevant in performing this song.

Good call! Shwekey the Jewish Taylor swift lol

I don't know if someone has already said this, but he can do all accents. Israeli, Yiddish, maybe there's more

Yaakov Shwekey was part of the Miami Boys Choir

Hey - great take!!! If u want some other good shwekey videos, on "live park" check out "vhi sheamda" and regular videos check out "your time" and "cry no more" - -great songs!!! Love the vibes tho!!!

my favorite shwekey song is reu banim (there's also a very nice version that's kol isha)

I would agree Shwekey isn't the top voice in Jewish music. I believe his popularity is due to his many solid albums, the diversity of styles in the songs he sings and most importantly his fantastic stage presence. This was his concert. Most of the time he performs he's the headliner. The song is referring to the endurance of the Jewish people, I assume thats what the Star of David is about.

If you need any explanation on anything, feel free to contact me.

He is definitely much better when singing slow songs, check out shwekey vehi sheamda shlomi shabat

actually the star of david represents our nation that in the song is referred to yisroel. the song is trying to bring out the message of how throughout the years we have been tortured. all the nations have tried to wipe us out but the jewish nation will live on forever, as god has promised us.... shwekey does all different kind of styles of music including slow songs and pop style. thank you for the reaction. really enjoyed seeing your appreciation for our jewish singers.

I would love to see you react to Omer Adam’s “Modeh Ani” or Moshav “On that day” or Moshav “my pure soul” or Gad Elbaz “mizmor Ledovid” live with his family

I really like what he is doing with the stars of David. One reprenting the Jewish nation and one the star the nazis made Jews wear so they could be more easily destroyed. But as the song says " the eternity of israel is not a lie for G-d is with us". If we are not destroyed- it is not for a lack of trying

Yea need to look at his other songs

Check out young schweky and super young Mordechai Shapiro singing racheim from the 90s

Haha you nailed that Taylor swift call! Many people actually refer to him as the Taylor swift of Jewish music your not the 1st😂 Now please check out a live video of omer adam he's amazing

Hahaha, I agree with you! Always keep em honest! While Shwekey definitely has his audience (this was his own show), I don't think he compares remotely to Avraham Fried, Benny, Eli Marcus, Shulem or some of the others you've seen.

Have you checked out Yonatan Razel, Israeli singer/composer with soul? And his brother Aharon Razel who writes amazing music?

No one beets the old shweky stuff

try Mordechai Shapiro & Benny Friedman "L'chai Olamim". It's a brand new insane great song!

Its his own show

Pleeezzz check out “daddy come home” by yeshiva boys choir. It’s an English song and you will love it. It’s very very emotional.

"shema" is beautiful

Which style is he? He blends both styles, because he has mixed parents.

I know I keep asking for it, but I think if you react to Shwekey again, you should react to his Rajem performance with a young Mordechai Shapiro. It's his most iconic song and much less poppy. Another iconic, more soulful performance of his is והיא שעמדה (Vehi Sheamda). I'm also not the biggest fan of this song you reacted to (I never heard of it before actually). To throw another recommendation into the mix, I recommend Lo Beruach as performed by Shira Choir and Avrum Chaim Green. The composition from Yerachmiel Begun is incredible and the singing gives me chills.

Shwekey has great stage energy but compared to the voice and emotion of an Avraham Fried. Shwekey is more of a pop music sensation. Both are great performers and super talented.

Check out “live park Israeli medley”

Check out 5 star dance with naftali shnitzler

Please check out the video ''we are a miracle''

Video 12 of asking for Joey newcomb or Baruch levine

Love Yaakov Shwekey

I'd put him in the Miami Boys choir genre

If you want a real Shwekey song, you should search for he's ballad's. there he show he's real voice. anyway great reation

I think his real issue was that this song didn't require him to go to high.

Check out kinderlach

Another classic- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdGJmtenuJmcdIU.html

Love your content! Keep it coming!! Could u react to 8th day new music video umu maser

... maybe the Jose Malhoa of the Portuguese Pimba scene if I might add.. that maybe it's not such a good idea for the Chassidim to go looking for Mr. Malhoa as I think they might find his style contrary to their values.

CHECK OUT ISHAY RIBO

Give levi Robin a try. You will love him

I much prefer Yaakov Shwekey live than on his records. Or maybe he has just gotten better over the years? I have one of his earlier CDs and on some of those songs he had a very nasal quality. He seems better here.

The word your'e looking for is "shlocky"

check out Rafi the king

Que puedo opinar yo soy para mi amado y mi amado es para mi ❤😊 fiel admiradora

Love it! Check out Ishay Ribo!

Check out zanvil weinberger

Tha Taylor????? 😂😂😂

Please react to l'chaim by Gad Elbaz

Imo it’s his songs that put him up there with the best Jewish singers, not his voice. You should definitely react to his better, more popular songs such as: Cry no more Shema Et rekod Aish Lo yaavod Inshallah He still has a good voice but he’s no Avraham fried, for example.

I don't think this song Shwekey justice. Here is a live performance that is much more representative of what his music is like kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9SefqmhzraVmKc.html

If you're going to try him again--this one's a showstopper m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdt7ja5ptMXcYqc.html And this might be the best version of Vehi Sheamda I've seen--bonus it features the (brilliant) composer Yonatan Razel m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jaipdaWfx7TdiGg.html

Can you react to kan tzipor by shlomo simcha please please!!

Hey thanks!! One after another!! Please please react to vazakeini Promo you’re gonna love it!! You’re the best!!

You can’t continue this without checking out the singing rebbe “rebbe Shlomo carlbach”

You had to pick he’s mediocre song 😂

this is not the best performance of schwekey, he's a super star.

He hasn't touched his highs in this video! It doesn't do a good representation of his capabilities! He is one of the biggest stars in Jewish music

A lot of song choices are the less popular songs from the artist you are viewing …like you need to see their hit songs ….

This is the most unimpressive Shwekey song! You need to listen to Mama Rochel to get an idea of the vocals on this guy!!

IMO he is not quite as good live as some of the others that you've seen..... his studio albums are a lot smoother than his live performances

Hello

Ur choosing the wrong songs.....let me help u choose

Please check out Omer Adam live or Sruly netanal

Please please check out omer adam Park hayarokan.
