You take the best of anointing, talent, and professionalism and see how amazing a performer God can put in front of his people. This man is legend! SOMEBODY SHOUT!!!!!!
It’s possible they hired him without knowing his vocal capacities. Perhaps he advertised himself to this church and they just took his word for it. I’m sure it was his first AND LAST time at this church.
There’s an 11th Commandment, which early Bible scholars thought was a mistranslation and so considered it apocryphal. But finally, in our generation, we know that it belonged in scripture all along. It goes: “James Canuup, Thou shalt not sing.”
Omg...Canup is the last name of my neighbors across the street. I wonder if they're related to this guy...then again, if they are, they're probably too embarrassed to admit it. lmao
I really can't tell whether these James Canupp videos are sincere or a setup. Laughing so hard I'm crying, though, so well played, davegloom, whoever you are....
If you're interrogating a witness in an interrogation room and they won't talk send this guy in there with you and I guarantee you you'll get a full confession out of them and ask for jail time to get away from this guy! 😬😂😁🌋🚨🗣️
From karaoke, but relevant to church singing too...there are four types of karaoke attendee. Type 1: can sing and does Type 2: can't sing and doesn't Type 3: can't sing...but does Type 4: can sing...but won't Not a whole lot of doubt which type poor James here is.
Wow. Gotta go listen to some Keaggy "Salvation Army Band" to get that outta my head! But I will say, sincere love is better than highly polished hate. I prefer this to half the self-impressed gangsta rap out there.
Hey let me tell you guys something though, I bet you he's going to heaven because he's singing to the Lord he believes in the Lord and he loves the Lord he don't care how he sounds but he's out there singing to the Lord now in the other hand where are you going to heaven? where are you guys think are going to heaven?making fun of this man singing to the Lord but you guys think you guys going to heaven no way.....
God did not give this man the appropriate gifts to be a singer for Him. When you see someone trying to do a work for the Lord and it turns into a trainwreck such as this, it's a certain indicator that the work was never in the Lord's plan for that person. Church friends and family who love James have told him for years that he's really talented. His performance strongly indicates otherwise however. The problem with this is whatever God equipped him to really do is likely not getting done while he's enjoying all the false compliments and attention, The worst example of this is a pastor leading a congregation when he's completely unqualified. As a person who once had a pastor like that I can't stress enough how important it is that all people who want to serve God seek His guidance in finding their purpose.

You haven't LIVED until you've heard him belt out "Looking for a City!" Truly changed my life!
Rumour has it, Brian Free and Assurance couldn’t keep up with him and he wore them out. A one man gospel powerhouse
@@lookouthumanitarian 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This song moved me to tears. Also to coughing, and choking, and struggling to breath 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Best comment
Anyone that lets James Canupp have a microphone deserves to hear him sing
my theory is that the doors were locked. A lady was pacing back and forth, she was looking to escape
Hell yes!
what you talk about sound wonderfully like puppy yelping. lol
For all eternity….😂
Somebody other than James sing me a gospel song.
tickipah YOU WIN 💀💀💀💀
Person man
Lol👉😫👈
you are hilarious ! perfect response
Perfection.
The dude who recorded this whole set is the real MVP
Himself lmao. He originally uploaded all these and deleted them after a while, but people had already re-uploaded it, so it was too late lol.
Probably emptied his liquor cabinet that night
I'm going to go with "profoundly deaf" as well. That or masochistic in the extreme.
Every note was perfectly "executed", literaly !
Jesus, you're drunk
liquor is too soft if you want to listen to this turd!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
Agree. He really "killed" this performance
Someone should get 7 to 10 years for handing James a microphone.
Made this my ringtone. It went off while I was in Kroger, talk about getting looks....
I used to wish I could sing, Now I wish he could
The finish on this song is stellar
Holly L looking for a city has better finish person man
You know with today's music scene and auto tune, he may be the next big Nashville artist.
Nothing says gospel like the sound of a small frog being slowly crushed.
Incredible stage presence!
SOMEBODY PLEEEEEEEESE SING THIS DUDE A GOSPEL SONG!!!!!!! ASAP
Just like James says, I want to hear some sweet harmony.
Wrong video for that pal
The description is the best part of the video.
🧐
This song is the Old Time Rock and Roll for the Pat Robertson set.
James has a rich voice, it is very well off.
Those kids were so polite....
I love the intro...he had honestly never heard this guy before. And those poor students. :)
Dude brought the house down.
I am glad i finding this video to hearing it. i like to hearing all of this music. thanks.
I get why the let him sing. But why did they let him sing AGAIN?!?!
Maybe he asked if he could. And they couldn't bear to say "Uh huh......... NOOOOO!!
either this is real guy in a real church honestly trying to sing OR this is one of the most classic internet trolls ever...
Protip: before you give a "concert", know the lyrics to the songs you're going to sing. (and also, know how to sing)
That guy can sure sing
This is the punishment for students in detention.
After 10 seconds of this I'll be a Christian. I'll be praying to God to get me out of there. Well played, well played....
Irrefutable
He really nails that high note at 3:14.
2:05 The miracle moment is that you still have an audience.
How can he be both sharp AND flat at the same time?😅
Well he's sharp on the note below, flat on the one above...and sooner or later he's gonna be equidistant from both!
That´s incredible on so many levels..!!
Those kids are being really polite. I'd be laughing uncontrollably. I mean, the guy didn't even memorize the songs. Is he playing a prank?
Please welcome....LIVE. As though the audience thought reality might have been on tape delay....
The guy in the front row is laughing, you can see it. Duh 😀
God has nothing to do with this, he is drawing up cease and desist papers on this guy.
If Christ wants him to stop. He can give him help
Now he truly has been given a gift from the Lord above. Pure fucking talent.
He really thought he ate but he left a whole ahh thanksgiving dinner on the table 😔
Somebody please hurry and sing him a song! Please?
You take the best of anointing, talent, and professionalism and see how amazing a performer God can put in front of his people. This man is legend! SOMEBODY SHOUT!!!!!!
HALLELUJAH
Your not serious are you?
Damn the way those ppl stood up in unison 😂
Communion Service? Skip the bread and give me a bottle of wine!!!!!!!!
A case...
Clear voice as he hits those highs.
Somebody pass me a really big bong
Keep them coming!!!
Best gospel singer ever
Who told him he could sing and does no one love him enough to stop him?
How the hell did those kids maintain? They sat there politely through his whole concert. I'd have been rolling in the aisle laughing.
There's no way I could have sat quiet with a straight face
I guess just being polite. Like I would and then walk out and go to the bathroom and laugh.
Can I hear an Amen !!
So do churches hire this guy just to laugh at him behind his back? What's the story behind this?
i think this church likes it. look at that enthusiasm from the MC at the beginning. he's jazzed about it.
It’s possible they hired him without knowing his vocal capacities. Perhaps he advertised himself to this church and they just took his word for it. I’m sure it was his first AND LAST time at this church.
Lets do the contrary, I give you all I have if you can give me a logical reason why James Canupp is pure talent. Please go ahead, make my day =D
Lmao those last notes. Fuckin nailed it.
This is where it all began.
Hell of an ending encore
Somebody sing him a gospel song!
Good voice George Costanza!
Oh shoot, he is a dead ringer for Jason Alexander, isn't he. Never noticed that...
this guy needs to sing at guantanamo.
The is the most song ever
I hope there are no recovering alcoholics in the audience, cause this might have pushed them over the edge n off the wagon
3:15 this part made me cry, so well executed, beautiful.
There’s an 11th Commandment, which early Bible scholars thought was a mistranslation and so considered it apocryphal. But finally, in our generation, we know that it belonged in scripture all along. It goes: “James Canuup, Thou shalt not sing.”
Omg...Canup is the last name of my neighbors across the street. I wonder if they're related to this guy...then again, if they are, they're probably too embarrassed to admit it. lmao
you know he's skreet by the baggy jeans.
2:04 - when the crowd realizes they're being recorded and it's a setup.
It's like a dying karaoke party.
Those poor kids on the front row..........clapping. LOL
No one is praising his singing abilities.
I would say that James accomplished what he was trying to do.....every time another comment is added.
Anybody howling!
PLEASE somebody sing a gospel song. SOMEBODY ELSE PLEASE SING! He sings this like he' s never seen the lyrics nor ever heard the song..
Why is this guy so popular?
More than in the city?! Wow. I gotta see it all. This guy is easily the worst singer ever
Lol!! Oh boy this made my day
Is he reading the lyrics from the pulpit?
Apparently.
So this is what hell is like. Lord save me!
Yes, I agree someone else should be singing the song for you.
I really can't tell whether these James Canupp videos are sincere or a setup. Laughing so hard I'm crying, though, so well played, davegloom, whoever you are....
Zack Blue I think it's a setup.
I think he's legit and honestly thought he sounded great, but this particular church set him up or something.
This must be a town of 20 people and congregation of 10 .
Female in the front putting on her coat so she can make a run for the door.
Somebody put the poor thing out of its misery!
He would be good for singing thrash metal
He should sing “Angel of Death”.
That's spelled "trash".
On second thought...yeah!
The Florence Foster Jenkins of gospel singers . . . .
I like Christian comedy!
He has not discovered the fact that there is a Comments section…
Bet those christians wouldn't mind some holy wine right about now
This is actually marginally better than Looking For A City, at least he didn't have to keep up with a piano player changing the key at every stanza.
If you're interrogating a witness in an interrogation room and they won't talk send this guy in there with you and I guarantee you you'll get a full confession out of them and ask for jail time to get away from this guy! 😬😂😁🌋🚨🗣️
MST3000 audience.
He knows he sings bad. That's part of his act.
my lord, you'd think every once in a while he'd stumble on the right note...
So sad, this guy has been set up to be a laughing stock and he doesn't realize and really believes he's good and that people enjoy it
How do I get a hold of James to bring to my church
From karaoke, but relevant to church singing too...there are four types of karaoke attendee.
Type 1: can sing and does
Type 2: can't sing and doesn't
Type 3: can't sing...but does
Type 4: can sing...but won't
Not a whole lot of doubt which type poor James here is.
At Gilzeeks. YEAH cool story bro.tell it again
Haters all up in these comments 😤😤😤
Wow. Gotta go listen to some Keaggy "Salvation Army Band" to get that outta my head! But I will say, sincere love is better than highly polished hate. I prefer this to half the self-impressed gangsta rap out there.
Another Keaggy fan here ! I wonder if Phil could improvise a nice, looped solo on one of his Olson acoustics ? 🤔🤪
Very good, babe.
How about someone who has taken actual voice lessons sing me a gospel song????
Hey let me tell you guys something though, I bet you he's going to heaven because he's singing to the Lord he believes in the Lord and he loves the Lord he don't care how he sounds but he's out there singing to the Lord now in the other hand where are you going to heaven? where are you guys think are going to heaven?making fun of this man singing to the Lord but you guys think you guys going to heaven no way.....

He needed to work on it...that's disgraceful.
he may love the lord but i dont think the lord would love to hear that everyday till the end of time. God can only take so much
Lighten up will ya, bible-basher
He brings shame to Salisbury
