Melanie- that's just freakin genius. not just to get the audience to sing the harmonies, but with his whole body and his gestures, gets them to sing with dynamics as well. and Mcferrins gigs are always so fun, it makes the audience wanna sing along and not feel embarrassed or shy to sing
Now, those guys in ties...seriously pitch-challenged, but that didn’t throw Bobby, needless to say. He just figured out a way to make it work. Amazing artist of amazing grace.
if any performer at any time and any level of skill wants to learn how to 'get an audience going', just get them to watch this video. They'll learn every time they watch.
Man I hope this guy makes millions a year. You have (no offense) rappers who use computer programs to completely cover up their real voice and they're rollin in stacks of large bills, while this guy probably makes 1/10 of the money they make. If that. He's as good as it gets in today's music (in my opinion)
I never realized how funny he was! I've been listening to his "Simple Pleasures" record since I was about 5, overplaying "Don't Worry, Be Happy" until my tape broke :(
He is a legend,his concerts are not boring,he work with a people who watching,and it's fun to every man whitch is there.....Respect Bobby,you are LEGEND,indeed...!!!
Holy shit he's a master at conducting Not many conductors can be this clear with their tempo signs, even when playing with professionals, and he can so easily control a crowd of random people! insane, what a talented, skilled dude
What a big smile this guy brings to one's face! It's great fun to see all the boring people being woken up who never before realised what life was for . . . !
I just hate how natural age pretty much destroys someone. I looked up at what Bobby McFerrin looks like now. It’s like just yesterday the was old but looked much better. Now it’s like he aged 30 years suddenly.
@S1L3nCe Yes. And we scowl, complaining about other culture's taking over. Its because they're 1) humble 2) active 3) actually understanding of the importance of life. Too bad we've forgotten this. Oh well. We get what we deserve I say.
to Xbizkit20 : Bobby Mc ferrin has 7 DVDs : -Spirits of music -Spirit of music II -Spontaneous inventions -Beyond words -Swingin' Bach -Duet; Bobby Mc Ferrin & Chick Corea You can find them all on his official website :-)
really really! hi knows the music more that each other: it is incredibly the best, surely the best. you can write a book concerning this performance but you will never arrive at the end of his science! wonderful and so naturally talented!
Es increíble el manejo de público de este hombre, cómo a través de melodías breves y muy simples logra mantener expectante a públicos de varios miles de personas, todos ellos pendientes de sus tonalidades para responder en el momento preciso.
Oh, I love this guy... and his voice, his music. I´m in Brasil and send my love and admiration for him from here (sorry for my bad english... but you understand, yes?)
like it has been said before, Bobby McFerrin plays the human
I could listen to this man sing for days. I'll never understand why he's considered a one-hit wonder, when he makes more beautiful music every day.
Because he only had 1 hit. That is why.
I can see where Jacob Collier got his crowd playing inspiration from. Brilliant man.
And 1 hour of TH-cam video watching comes full circle, as I got here from a Jacob Collier TikTok!
It's crazy how he can make a beautiful song out of a name. Freakin Genius
I think Melanie really stole the show here.
how does he get the audience to respond that way?.. simply awesome. its like magic. The woman in yellow @ 1:17 can't believe it.
I've never heard the name Melanie sound so beautiful. Great Stuff!!
Appreciate the Upload

This guy gives a new meaning to the phrase 'engaging the audience'. Wonderful.
damn the first part with "MALANIE!!" gives me chills.
He is a legend,his concerts are not boring,he work with a people who watching,and it's fun to every man whitch is there.....Respect Bobby,you are LEGEND,indeed...!!!
He's the only artist who's instrument is his audience.

men! this guy is so entertaining! he's so gifted!
He is music personified!!! An original.
One of God's many blessings
god nevah changes :D ...much
HIS concerts are fricking fun :)
I was gonna say staged, but wait.... the entire audience????? What the hell is going on?
Staged? Nah, Bobby does this everywhere, including sold out stadiums. He's a masterful conductor
Where could I see the full concert?
That my cuz I'm so happy that you love him
I fell in love with performance about 23yrs ago Thanks for posting this.........
I love each note that bobby makes :-)
This is insanely awesome!!!
@Johnny Been awhile…but the beginning was just her name - Melanie(Melonie) - second one was “I’m in leather” maybe 🤷♂️
We r in a world where Justin Beiber is treated over people like Bobby
Just love that first harmony.
Is the audience in on it or are they just fans attending the show?
People are his instrument. Weird in a way, but also quite amazing.
he has the craziest range ever
What can be done just using talent and a microphone??? ask Bobby!!
What a big smile this guy brings to one's face! It's great fun to see all the boring people being woken up who never before realised what life was for . . . !
this is how i found out who is Bobby McFerrin! isn't he fabulosly amazing!!??!
*spontaneous
A true artist of sound.
He's a natural conductor!
this is awesome
WOW, watching him work a crowd is amazing!
I just hate how natural age pretty much destroys someone. I looked up at what Bobby McFerrin looks like now. It’s like just yesterday the was old but looked much better. Now it’s like he aged 30 years suddenly.
Heheheheh . . . did anyone else expect a dictionary definition of "Bobby McFerrin" at the beginning?
He has some dvds. And there is "Spontanious inventions" dvd also.
Compare 4:00 to James Morrison: Trumpet, Georg Solti Brass Ensemble 5/7 at 1:00
It's the same song? "Things ain't what they used to be"
@@Jozrez ty, I hadn't ever listened to the original song
when he sings it it sounds like "Melody" but whatever it still sounded amazing.
c'est un joueur de publique !
I think it's because everyone thinks he's dead.
wish i was there that would be fun
my favorite singer from now on....
talking about crowd managment... woow awesome
he is just a brilliant mind wonderful heart
he is amazing. creates a new league of musicians. lucky crowd.
He puts a continuous smile on my face
Good on You Bobby, Love the way you entered the section of the crowd where you were singing Pay Due...Love it
tout simplement spectaculaire
how does he get the audience to respond that way?.. simply awesome
OMFG this guy's fuckin' amazing ! He plays the crowd like others play the violin or the organ Oo
Wonderful !
How do you misspell the title if the word is shown with the actual dictionary entry at the beginning of the video???
walking bass... sickest thing ever
true talent, something most people dont have. this is a God given gift

really really! hi knows the music more that each other: it is incredibly the best, surely the best.

So creative and fun. Great thinker and musician!
Just listening to radom act of creativity gives me chills. Awesome.
This is a real genious. Great!
amazing! i like his ability to be interested in himself
to rosshildick :
Spontanious inventions is the name of the dvd and of an album. You can check it out on his website.
Is it a word that they say? seems to me like "prayer" or "pay up" haha
of course - their not professional singers - just an ordinary crowd.
I think thats still great :)
GENIUS!!!!!
MELANIE!
he is soooooo good it sounds so good!!
The fact that this is only a month younger than i am is crazy

4:30 i thought he was saying toupee to the guy with a tie)
he is a ten time grammy winner :)
I love this man!
This man is an absolute genious.
is there anyone who know if there is a voice coaching video with bobby?
I saw this on TV about 30 years ago and i've been trying to find just one bit he did in this show - and i can't.
This video skips the entire first song he did......
@liepinshtein I think its 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore,' Melody is a variant, changes are the same. :)
...and comedic.
Sick bassline
Rico Jazz why ?
Because it's sick
Did they have to audition to be in the audience??? LOL!
Oh, I love this guy... and his voice, his music.
I´m in Brasil and send my love and admiration for him from here
(sorry for my bad english... but you understand, yes?)
This guy just marking around hahaa
@liepinshtein NEVERMIND! It's 'Things Ain't What They Used to Be' (trippin!)
Someone commented somewhere that Bobby is an angel. I agree now.
i think he looks better with dreadlocks. right?
leer lo que has puesto y conocer a nuestro salvador es casi lo mismo, lastima que Bobby no es nuestro salvador
