I prefer the richness and clarity of Dan’s voice. He paid homage to the original. He’s a fan of Steve Perry. He doesn’t need the big production. Him standing alone against a black backdrop singing is perfect for me. It showcases his amazing vocals without distractions. His facial expressions are mesmerizing to watch. When he sings, he feels the music.
💯💯💯
My vote goes to Dan Vasc he was respecting Journey and Steve Perry
Okay, I am writing this before you make your picks. The first time I listened only. I wanted to just hear the artists and not see what they were doing. It came down to Dimas and Dan. I went through a second time and watched the video. Corvyx was too AI for me. Sorry Noah, but this song really needs the original instrumentation. I have to give it to Dan. Dimas doesn't enunciate as well and I get more emotion in Dan's voice. This probably was a track that Dan purchased. He always give the people playing on his videos credit. Nothing wrong with a straight, true to the original cover. You would have gotten the smile from Dan if you listened to Dan's outro. He loves to sing Steve Perry. Now I will go watch the end of the reaction.🙃
Thanks for taking the time to share
Agree 100%
Dan gets my vote. True to the artist and such a talented singer.❤
Dear reactors….. you need to read Dan’s titles of his songs. He will tell you what to expect. If he says ‘cover by’, or ‘by a metal musician’, it is exactly that, not metaled up. It will be a cover. Respectful and true to the song.
He will say it in the title if it will be a ‘metal cover’, aka… if Dan ‘Vascifies’ it UP (still respectfully to the original) with metal. Dan’s beautiful cover was exactly what he said it would be.
Cindy, you were talking about how long he holds his notes…this kind of song is just a day that ends in “y” for Dan. If you want to see what he can REALLY do, watch “Black Wind, Fire and Steel.”
Absolutely! The final note is mind blowing.
I second that! That last note is stupid crazy 🤘
Eric Adams held the record. Dan Vasc matched him. Amazing epicness.
@@umarae27 Awwwww…I was trying not to spoil the surprise.
@karenm5681 sorry! Edited.
Dan always does better
Hard choice, but I think Dan won this because he annunciates so much better than most other singers. And, lets face it, he is so easy on the eyes.
Dan won by FAR ❣️⚘️
being a 5 yr old cover he has come a long way !!
He's very respectful of Mr. Perry and authenticity.
Dan is very meticulous with enunciation with his words are clear as a bell ! !
If your going to do reactions look into some of the history of the people too.
Dan got this one .
PS
You should put the the warning for flashing lights on that 1st reaction , that was awful.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏
Glad I read the comments first as I have epilepsy.
Thank you for thinking of the lights 🌹

❤️⚘️
Hands down Dan Vasc, he kept it towards the original because Steve Perry is one of Dan's icon, and Dan did it this way out of respect
Dan. His vocal quality is vastly superior.
IMHO, these kind of videos are not for me......why compete ???....why not appreciate everybody ???....it makes no sense to me !!.....however, I vote Dan cuz Dan's the man !!!....more power, better singing voice in general, just BETTER !!!
It's just for fun. There are no winners or losers. We just say which ones we preferred. All were great covers.
@@TouchyReactions i know, but this kind of video always leaves someone not happy.....if that's what u want, keep doing them....lol....i also dislike the videos of comedians where it says "try not to laugh".....stupid idea....just sayin'.
I absolutely agree with that. That's why I definitely won't watch such "competitions" again. Nobody can get to Dan anyway.❤
You just don't get it. It's DAN
Corvyx has interesting artistic lighting, etc, but his voice is overpowered by the music. Noah takes me back to the 60s when people would sit around and take turns singing the songs that were popular at the time. Dimas has a beautiful voice, but he has a little too much vibrato at times for me. At this point I was thinking that Dimas might beat Dan until Dan started singing and I heard the richness and depth of his voice.
Thanks Caroline
All of them were great! In Dan's defense, he made this cover nearly 5 years ago. He is much more "seasoned" now.
Dan, it’s always Dan because his voice is like no other ❤Even though he was much younger when he recorded this cover , and he didn’t do “his Dan thing” to it that we have become so used to and love, he did a PERFECT COVER! His voice has such range and richness there really is no comparison.😉
Dan Vasc 💯💯 A truer, more genuine performance, you won't get. This video is from about 6years ago when Dan wasn't deviating much from the original but as you know, progression has taken it's course and he's now more phenominal and creative than ever. He's a musical genius. Shoot me down, I'm a die-hard rocker and have to admit to preferring him to the great Steve Perry. I don't understand how you could expect a "smile" in a rather sad song🤔 Anyway, a disappointing outcome☹
You shouldn't be disappointed. Who someone likes is subjective. It's like Ice cream. Lots of folks are saying that they prefer Dan in the comments.
I agree with you 100% margijohnson
Dan first with Corvyx running an extremely close second. I love both versions of this. It wasn't my favorite Journey song but then I pretty much loved anything that Steve Perry opened his mouth to sing. Huge Journey fan, at least while Mr Perry was on board.
Corvyx: too many vocal effects - can he reproduce this live, or even close to it? Also, his visual appearance would not get me to a show if he did perform live. Not a fan of the nose piercing.
Guthrie: it's ok, but I'd get tired of it real fast. Something about his vocal styling that kind of put me off.
Dimas: what's with the breathiness in his singing? no thanks. The instruments being muted probably happened so that he can sing over them and be heard. He probably doesn't have the power to be heard very well otherwise, especially with the breathy singing he does here.
Dan: I'd be curious as to what Dan would do if he remade a cover of this song today. More power vocally than the others in my opinion, and that is one of the things that was frequently said about Steve Perry. For me, it's Dan with the win.
as to the awkwardness during the instrumentation towards the end and the more note for note version Dan did: Back in the day, most of Dan's covers were more straightforward and true to the originals. For the awkwardness, have any singer without a band doing similar and unless they massively shorten it (which would potentially ruin it), they'll be doing the same.
One thing I would add in regards to these Battle of the Bands type things: if there are musical interludes where a singer by themselves will be boring or uninteresting just standing there, try to listen to the various versions without watching the video; which version sounds best then? I mean, back in the day, before MTV and music videos, that's what we did; we heard it on the radio, and if it appealed to us, then we bought the album if we had the opportunity to do so.
why comment on someone's personal appearance? what's it got to do with the music?
@@chezgraham If you're good with it, good for you. I'm not a fan of excessive piercings. If I'm going to watch someone perform, I'd like to at least look at something that is pleasing.
@@elfdogre2181 Imagine if someone made a comment about your appearance that didn't sit well with you. It might make you feel self-conscious or misunderstood, right? That's why it's important to treat others with the same respect and consideration we would want for ourselves. It's so important to be mindful of the impact our words can have on others. So maybe think twice before commenting on someone's appearance in the future. Let's cultivate a culture of kindness and empathy together, it can only make the world a better place, even if we just try, right?
My honest reaction: Did not care for #1. It was a little weird, and the flashing lights started to trigger a migraine. #2 was boring to me. #3 was ok, but I don't like Dimash's vibrato at all. #4 Sung to a track with the uncomfortable instrumental pause, but his voice is a homage to Steve Perry and couldn't be more beautiful. A young Dan Vasc was phenomenal! A perfect vocal cover!
Corvyx was definitely my favorite! He has such a beautiful voice and he always sings with so much emotion.💜 And I love the visuals, his aesthetic is fantastic.
I read that book series, as well! I know exactly what character you're talking about!☺️💜
Tricky one! In considering "who did it better", I want to emphasise the subjectivity of artistic expression. Music, as an art form, is deeply personal and subjective, with artists often forming connections and preferences based on their unique experiences, emotions, and backgrounds. What resonates with one person may not necessarily resonate with another, and what one individual perceives as superior or exceptional, another may find lacking or unappealing. Music isn’t a competition!
All that being said the cover that I prefer is Corvyx! His consummate command of vocal technique adds so many layers to the track for me and casts a transformative spell, he has a way of taking a track and elevating it to an ethereal plane, I think he's a hugely underrated vocalist and should be up there with the greats.
Well said.
When Dan Covers one of his Idols, on a Song he Doesn't think needs a Twist, if you close your eyes, you're not quite sure, Who's Singing.. Check out his Covers of Jon Bon Jovi, you'll see what I mean! Dan hands Down!
Dan Vasc. Surorise, surprise, surprise.
😂❤
I just felt Corvyx’s cover to be too techno and flashy, not my cuppa. Guthrie’s I appreciated, it reminded me a bit of James Bay’s early acoustics, which I love. I wondered if Guthrie was British too from some inflections he had, but no, Google said he is from South Carolina, LOL. Interesting. Dimash’s cover was very well done, he is a talented vocalist and can certainly growl a bit but it seemed almost puppyish to me. Steve Perry is one of Dan’s artistic influences mentioned in his bio. This particular cover of Dan’s is from his earlier works and I think maybe it would be distinctly different now if he did it, IDK. And just to clarify for Dan Vasc fans, there is never an awkward moment watching him do nothing. Lol! I happen to BE a fan of Steve Perry and Journey cuz’ I’m that old. Dan may have lacked “sprinkles” in this cover😂 but I think he did it intentionally and I love it. It’s Dan for me ❤. This was great. I love these comparison reactions you do. They’re fair, unbiased and fun! 👍🏻
Thank you so much 💓 💗
several listens, back to the screen, facing the screen listening to snippets of the original... all of that and I was torn of course.. but I do prefer Dan's version... to be honest it felt more true to the original...
I'm not a huge Steve Perry fan, but I am a great admirer of his skills & talents. (Sadly for me, he likes to relentlessly pound the notes that my ears turn away from).
The accoustic gentleman did a wonderful job of softening the air for me. Big hugs for that dude!!!
But, my vote will go to Dan, now & for forever. Dan is amazing.
Thanks
i just love you guys. will you adopt me? don't like these competition type videos, but i stuck with you. i would rate them 4,3,2,1. corvyx while flashy couldnn't understand him. noah really nice voice but not much passion. dimash was the first song of his that i totally liked. he adapted to the song instead of adapting the song to him as he usually does.. but, the heart wants what the heart wants. and that is more dan. how he can stand in a black room and sound like he has been totally engulfed in his song with no feedback always amazes me. and his vocal gymnastics are oh so pleasing. this 5 year old cover still stands up. ty
Dan for the win .. ❤ he has said that he admires Steve Perry and perhaps singing it like the original was a showing of respect towards Steve. 😊
It was the first time I've listened to the first 3 and while they all were very good, my personal preference is Dan's voice and styling. Was this his tribute to Steve Perry on his birthday? My memory is a little iffy sometimes. Lol
Yes, in Dan’s outro he mentions that he did this song to celebrate the legendary Steve Perry’s 70th birthday.
Oops, I was wrong. I just looked it up and I need to correct my mistake. The 70th birthday one that I was thinking of was “Open Arms” which Dan released in January 2019. “Separate Ways” Dan released just a few months later in June 2019.
A lot of Dan's older covers are more true to the originals. And some people complained . Then he started putting more of his own spin on things. And some people complained. Now his covers are done exactly the way he wants to do them and most of us love them. But again, some people complain. He has said the after the battle to 1,000,000 is over, he will be doing more metal and more of his original work. I'm looking forward to it. even though I know..........some people will complain.
Can't please everyone
Dan Vasc, it might have been a straight up cover, but why mess with Steve Perry and perfection?
Wow, they were all wonderful. But the opinion of this 64 year old woman has to go with #1. I'm familiar with the 1st, 2nd, and 4th performers. The 3rd guy's voice was unique but didn't blow me away. Noah did a beautiful rendition but a little lack-luster. The 4th performer's voice is incredible, but the instrumental and presentation were also lack-luster. So, in saying all that... my vote goes to the 1st preformer Corvyx. Voice, style, visual, interpretation 100% 😊
Dan Vasc natürlich. ❤ . Mehr möchte ich jetzt auch dazu nicht sagen.
Daumen hoch für Dan❤
All good but Dan it is for me!
I don’t really like the spirit of this kind of competition. But if I were forced to choose~ Dan Vasc for the win. Hands down.🙌
There’s simply no comparison. I’d put the 3rd performer in 2nd place but still nowhere near Dan’s vocal skills, especially today.
ETA: The first performance honestly gave me a migraine with the flashing lights and computerized sounding vocals. Dan’s rich & soothing voice made my headache better almost instantly. What a beautiful voice.
I vote Corvyx. They all had something i like, but i really like his artistic creativity🤩 and his vocal reach is amazing🤩
I love Steve Perry and I ike Dan's version better . A💯% Dan Vasc as the winner.
Dan is my choice. His voice is so rich. ❤
Dan Vasc the clear victor❤
Ok they all had some parts that i really liked but Dan Vasc kept my interest the most and his voice is so beautiful ❤️ i vote Dan🎉
Okay, so, first things first, right? When you see a song with the name @CORVYX in the title, you better know - this is going to be mind-blowing.
His vocals are something out of this world, and he can bring any song back to life. When his voice meets his visuals, the authentic idea for the cover and it all gets wrapped up in a video, it opens a whole new world. Yes, his videos are pretty minimalistic, but not everything has to be hidden in the frames. This singer is like the Supreme witch - he doesn't need the "safety shadow", he's a masterpiece himself and there is no reason to hide. He could simply sit there and sing and still leave the listener fascinated, that's why he doesn't really need to create a new dance or movie for the song. Because Corvyx isn't 'just' an artist, he is art himself.
Is there still a question about who covered the song better? I think, not anymore. 😊
Much prefer Dan Vasc's cover.
❤❤sticking with Dan the Man just love his tone and sounds perfect🎉🎉
Dan Vasco of course 😊❤
Corvyx is definitely the best. He is a genius and a visionary. World Championship. Could you record more reactions on Corvyx? His gift is our medicine. And all the comments about Autotune are already a bit boring, you just need to see the live videos and then it will be stupid for some people🤍🫶
Thanks
Dan of course.
The jury has reached it's verdict and it's anamorous dan takes this round again for me.althought liked second guy cover.great reaction ryan and Cindy. 👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Dan had the emotion
Dan Vasc
Dan Vasc of course!
My respect goes to all four performers. My favorite, however, is Corvyx. I'm impressed by his fantastic voice, how he "plays" with it and how he feels and lives the song. He takes me on his “song journey”. So again, for me the clear winner in this comparison is Corvyx. ❤️🔥🖤🖤🖤❤️🔥
Love dan vasc version ❤🎉
Dan Vasc for sure!!❤
Im with Dan... His diction is outstanding...also the passion he puts into the song, great cover
Dan is the best hands down!
Plus, Dan really feels the song. It feels like he is really singing to a lost love.
Dan for the win! Every time!
Every song dosent have to have a scream in it everything Dan does is a wow moment we got his back hail Vasc Nation
Yes Dimas 🤟
Definitely #1 Corvyx is next level of creativity 🖤
Thanks Natalie
Dan Vasc did.🎙️🎶🎶🎶
No surprise
To be fair, Dan was still in the earlier stages of learning what works well on TH-cam and what he wanted to tweak/change. You won’t see that awkward standing around in any of his more recent videos because he discovered back then that he really disliked standing around waiting. Now he shows the guys playing instruments.
He was also pumping out a video a week back then, (which he says he’ll never do again) and yes, singing to a track, so…your mileage may vary on whether the song is a hit or not. This song is not one of my favourites of Dan’s. He has better songs. Go with the ones people recommend in the comments. (Was this one people recommended a lot? I’d be surprised if they did.)
Also, heads up: Dan’s “Sound of Silence” is a straight up almost note for note cover, so you probably won’t like that about it. I do like it. Cindy will. But it may annoy you because of how close it sounds to David Dreiman’s voice. Still…it’s one of Dan’s most popular videos. Up to you whether or not you want to see for yourself. But consider yourself warned. (Maybe it helps to know what to expect.)
@karenm5681 thanks Karen 😊
@@TouchyReactions Always a pleasure. You’re welcome.😊
@@karenm5681I love this song!
In my opinion, Corvyx is different than the others as he breathes fresh air into this song, which is indeed a big song sung by a big voice. He gives the song a new power and energy. I knew Dan Vasc from before, he's a force of nature and his covers are really good (this one included). The other two are place 3 and 4 for me. Not amazing, but definitely not bad either. They just don't give me the kick I'm looking for when it comes to this song.
They were all good. Of the ones you showed, I think I liked the Dimas version the most. I don't like to say better, too subjective a word.
If you do a part 2 for this song, I suggest the recent cover version by Daughtry feat Lzzy Hale.
Yeah, Lzzy & CD's cover is def worthy IMO.
Dan definitely however you want to see another grrrreat live performance, see Daughtry ft lizzy hale. Definitely metal/rock
Corvyx always
thanks for the reaction from my brother Dimas who is kind and very authoritative with your appearance both. Salute!!! Sorry, I asked for a cover of Dimas' Jump from Van Hallen, TQS Brother's
Thank you 😊
Wowww dimas lah yang paling fenomenal, rocker sejati banget 👍👍
Dan VAsc❤❤❤
Corvyx has something magical
Great reaction guys as always.....they all done well...last one done well except that a bit of same level and he too serious the video of himself alone should include the rest of team.....Dimas more versatile with clear notes to hear and of different range with the lyrics from time to time....
Thank you so much 😁
Corvyx is electronic pop emo (kind of like he’s competing on The Voice), Noah Guthrie, again a Voice audition… nice voice but not my cup of tea, Dimas great voice for the song but didn’t quite get the emotion, Dan Vasc vocal prowess, emotion are spot on and gives everything you want from a Journey cover, and yes if he did it today he would throw in in a lot more surprises but still #1 from these 4 covers.
CORVYX 100%
Thanks
I liked Dimas Senopati version
Thanks
Dimas's cover is the best ❤
Of this choice, Dan's the man. But Tommy did a cover of separate ways, too. And the Alltime winner is......: Tommy J
I like dimas' version. His voice's natural to me and reminds me to go back into 90s
Hola chicos, les digo que me gustan más las presentaciones 3 y 4 cantando Separate Ways... Yo los invito a reaccionar a 2 excelentes bandas de covers: Lexington Lab Band (EEUU) y a Leonid & Friends (Rusia). Estos últimos empezaron haciendo excelentes covers de Chicago.. Muchos jovenes también están empezando a hacer covers de The Warning!! Un abrazo desde Ecuador!
Dan Vasc any day.
The first gentleman, Corvex, sounded pitch corrected to me. I didn't care for that.
SenoPati dimas👍✌
Corvyx
My choice to dimas. Natural voice
In my opinion, Dimas's cover is the best because Dimas and his friends improvised a little in the musical arrangement to suit the tastes of today's young people but it's still rock n roll 🤘And Vasc is just like someone doing karaoke 🙄
Love dan vasc voice, but on this song, i think dimas senopati s voice fit for this song, love you guys
Dimas or Dan. It's cool to play around with the song and make it yours but the first and second singer was just too far off.
Nemophila in part 2.. They knock it out the park, even have a side by side mv with the original video.. Tamu the drummer, as a hommage to Steve Smith (the drummer from Journey) Plays in his unusual style and dons a false moustace.. Bearing in mind Mayu the singer does not speak English, and relies on Saki the guitarist to coach her, quite amazing.. If you don't pic it for the part 2 you should watch it anyway, it's very cool..
Thanks Grant 😊
Hey guys how you doing. If you guys are going to do another who covered it better on this song definitely get Lizzy Hale from Halestorm with Daughtry they're doing it as a duet and they have the best cover of it. You'll see. And if you're not doing another who did it better with this song you should still go watch that video anyway You don't want to miss that It is way better than anything else.
Thanks
Daughtry and Lzzy Hale, do way better!!!! The others were ok, but i will not put on my list.
Touchy Team! Please react to Katrina Velarde’s brand new cover of Whitney Houston’s Saving All My Love For You performed live at Viva Cafe. The audio is excellent and NOBODY channels Whitney better than Katrina. Actually this cover is quite astounding. Katrina’s maturity as an artist is breathtaking. She ownes the stage masterfully managing her breath control, transitions, head voice making fantastic artistic choices. Hard to believe this is live it’s so good. Seriously Katrina really is growing into the title of Asias Vocal Supreme. She’s there
You got it
Next reaction Dimas Senopati journey
Dimas Senopati version really really HOT & WILD!
Thanks
DIMAS THE BEST❤
Dan for the win
Corvyx 🫶❤️🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
My two cents; I like all of them for various reasons. Although I liked the second version the least. When I listen to a cover, I look for four key elements. 1) Is it done well enough that it doesn't sound like the singer was pulled out of a Karoke bar. 2) As a drummer, I listen to the drums and I am judging them based on whether they are respecting Steve Smith by either playing the rhythem correctly, including the fills, or are they putting their own spin on it that still respects Steve. The last cover definitely did that the best. 3) If this were released to radio, would it be received well? 4) Would I add the cover to my playlist, and in this case all these versions fell short of getting air play, and making it onto my play list. The best cover I have heard for Separate Ways is by Eva Under Fire. They put their own spin on by making it heavier, while remaining true to the orginial. The drums take it up a notch while respecting Steve's original rhythem, and the guitarist nails Neal's solo. Eva of course knocks it out of the park with her vocals. th-cam.com/video/e6qoetyx51o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6g5aU18q5dth8F1e
If we do a second video for this song, we'll include it.
Dimas 😍
Dammmm dimasss❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Dan without a doubt.
there is Dan ... and then the rest
Dan dosent use a caryokee machine there will be no copy wright with this song Dan uses the guitar nerd there is nothing wrong with doing a song note for note that’s kind of wrong on your part Dan did the best
