This is the most honest + well prepared + sincere + informative react I've ever watched, after seeing 50+ other reactions of 'Heaven' from different people. Subscribed!
His emotion pierces through any language or culture barriers, that’s why humanity is so beautiful
Tengger held a concert in the United States on September 14, 2001, shortly after the September 11 attacks, during which he dedicated his song "Heaven" to the audience to pay tribute to the victims.
This is a very powerful song to me and always reduces me to tears. I love Tengri.
OMIGOSH, OMIGOSH, OMIGOSH!!!!! I WAS SO HAPPY TO GET THIS NOTIFICATION! THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS!!! WOOOOO!
作为一个母语者，每次听到这段曲子，脑海中浮现的总是小时候成长的地方，无论它完美与否，也许贫穷甚至破败不堪，但如果时间能倒流，我会希望能留在那里，那里有太多回忆，美好的疼痛的，那些记忆共同造就了我的意识。
Tengri performances for the rest of the show is well worth seeing on this show. He came in late part of the show put gave a very good competition. Hua so respected and admired Tengri's technique that he learned a vocal technique from him in which he used in few of his performances. This show really showed a lot of well respected performers with so many versatile styes which many outside of China wouldn't not see.
I love this so much. This beautiful, amazing performance did remind me of Hua Chenyu' s Fake Monk. I wonder how many sing in this style.
Wow! So interesting! I'm really glad to have been introduced to the Great Singer, Tengri. Thank you for this reaction.
@@200_IM This style is actually not that uncommon in China....just not common in western countries.
I heard someone else (I'm so sorry I don't remember their name) comment about this performance that "in his 30s, he sang this for his country; in his 40s, he sang this for his daughter; now, in his 50s, he's singing it for the world." I heard that he changed a few of the lyrics after his daughter died, but I don't know whether that's true.
that’s true, a heart-broken father.
it is true

首先谢谢你对这首歌的鉴赏 非常真实用心。这首歌是在他女儿去世前写的 数年过去 这个首歌重新编曲同时腾格尔在表演中注入了对女儿的思念。 歌曲里面的词非常简单 蓝蓝的天空 清清的湖水 奔驰的骏马 洁白的羊群 这些本是非常美丽的一幅画 那就是一副蒙古大草原的美景 但是腾格尔运用独特的唱功 强大的声音控制让这幅静态的画面 动了起来 有的声音由远及近 有的声音由近及远 就像“听”到了天上飘动的白云 波光粼粼的湖面 向你奔驰而来的骏马 吃草的羊群 还有在微风中的蒙古包…让听者很容易联想到自己的家乡 最后的部分也是让人泪崩 假音部分是对女儿 家乡的呼唤 是通往天堂的阶梯 低音部分是现实自己所有情绪的挣扎 我也非常喜欢这首歌 每次听到都会被感动到落泪😭 谢谢你的优质评析非常到位 加油😊
歌曲感情至深，每次听都会被感动。
I cry my eyes out every time I listen to this, and when they show Jeffreys face I lose it completely.
It was such a shock to the heart (literally) to hear him the first time, in the best possible way.
Yes please react to Hua Hua's version.
Is Jeffrey the man who, during that season, was paired with Jessie J.?
@@meghanmacqueen5157 that’s him 👍🏼
@@meowmew9999 I LOVE him! I watched The Singer 2017 with subtitles, and liked both Teresa and Jeffrey a lot. I haven't watched all of 2018 yet. I was discussing this with another fan not too long ago. Are all the people like Jeffrey, who is each assigned a competitor, singers themselves?
@@meghanmacqueen5157 I am not sure, I’m sure they are all successful in television maybe as hosts/comedians/singers? I tried to look up some info but I couldn’t really find anything...
@@meowmew9999 lol That;s all I (or anyone else I know) seems to know about them. They are shrouded in mystery, but I like them a lot :)
It is Mongolian throat singing,called Khoomai.They can make 2,sometimes 3 sounds in the same time.
There are 4 or 5 types depending on the area, the khuumii type in this video is a named kharkhiraa.
@@beemyhee1529 They're using both khoomei and kharkhiraa over here....khoomei is both a sub style and an umbrella term for this vocal art
REAL REACTIN, TOUCHED. CALM NICE VIDEO
I love John Denver. Somehow Tengri reminds me of him. This "heaven" song is just dope. You can feel his passion so close and dear. And it brings out mine. We all have our heaven.
Very good reaction. Interesting to hear your professional opinions 🤔😊😊
Isnt it amazing how many great artists we are finding through Dimash and I Am Singer. We have nothing like this in the west. We are really missing out.
Beautiful song....beautiful performance. I think , this was his best performance in this Singer program.
Thanks Josh! This is something else right? I got emotional the first time I heard this too, without even knowing what he was singing. I’ve seen his other performances in The Singer and they’re pretty awesome. Now you’re ready to react to Dimash and Tengri’s Swan Goose 😉
Greetings from Mongolia! Thank you for the reaction!The throat singing is called ‘khoomei’ Mongolian throat singing. You should react on Wolf totem- The hu. Sings in Mongolian throat singing ;)
Thank you Josh. Tengger’s performance was highly anticipated and he didn’t disappoint. A true artist. I discovered him through Hua Chenyu too and listened to his original version. His delivery was really out of this world and I’m so glad that the one who arranged this version did a great job too. Tengger is truly mesmerising here. Thanks again Josh 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just learnt recently Tengri is one of the Chinese fathers of Rock music in China - I heard him sing one of his old songs it is amazing
I woke up and saw the notification and my day started with a smile. While watching his performance again, I started to cry 😂
I can‘t hold myself, he always causes that feeling in me. Maybe because I have three daughters. I don‘t know. But I‘m really thankful that you finally react to our suggestion. I appreciate it sooo much. And I was very happy to see, that you also liked it.
BTW, I‘ve noticed the carpet behind you. Are you renovating the room? 😁
Thank you for watching. I have no daughters but can't imagine losing one of my boys at 6. Devastating. It's my backdrop (like photo studio canvas). :-)
He is from Inner Mongolia.The song is about His Homeland.He wrote this song over 20 years ago.His daughter passed away 8 years ago,if I'm not mistaking.Anyway,it is open to interpretation.Double sorrow.
Thanks for the information. Someone commented that he dedicated this performance to his daughter so likely a source of the extra emotion.
This song about his homeland. He forced to main land of China from Inner Mongolia. ‘Girl’ in this song is not related his daughter. It is about his beloved girl friend who stayed in his homeland in his youth.
You are the only reactioner who analyzes the lyrics carefully and deeply. Good job!
Teng Ko Erh (AKA Tengri, Tengger) did have a daughter who died in 2010 at 6 years old; she had a congenital condition and Teng Ko Erh spent the last two years of her life out of public view as he helped care for her. Her name was Gajir, which means "earth" (interesting, because his name means "heaven").
In addition to his singing career, he has enjoyed success in films.
Merci pour tout ces renseignements.
@@gaelena564 De rien.
yea also some people saying "earth" and "heaven" are the opposite of each other, they will never be together. That's why his daughter left...sigh..As a Mongolian, I grew up listening Tengger and other Mongolian singers，they are like my childhood memories :(
Absolutely sincere and (very) informative reaction! Those references are interesting to check out. Thank you for your efforts!
What a fascinating and quite beautiful commentary on this amazing song from Tengri. Such an honest and compassionate video.
If you just imagine he was singing in the opening grassfield... Then you will have more impact of his voice and song...😊👍
It's such a fascinating style to sing in. The catch-and-release effect sounds like a controlled and deliberate recreation of when you get emotionally choked up and your voice gets caught in your throat. And the chorus has such a feeling of anguish and pain. I'd be hard pressed to find another song that was so genuinely evocative to me.
Thank you for your most humble and sincere reaction to this marvelous performance. Because of your reaction, I enjoyed your video and will look out for more. This artist is absolutely amazing!
Ooooh, I love this song. Thank you for this great reaction and analysis. :-))
Thanks for this reaction and thank you for being so open to styles from diverse cultures! Best regards!
Thank you for this. I dont really understand why, but the sounds that comes out of this man makes me tear up. Not the lyrics, the sound. Im not from that part if the world so it must be some primal connection and tacid understanding that affects us, i guess. My soul is listening.
it has a very simple lyrics, but you can feel a enormous and phenomenal amount of emotion within the song.
I love this... hearing something we haven't heard before sort of expands our concept of the universe. Thank you for your reaction.
I glad you did your research before reacting and actually read the lyrics. Definitely gonna subscribe now.
Sorry--just one more comment lol. Tengri (I've heard his name pronounced Ten-gri, but I'm sure that's Westernized a great deal) does a stunning duet with Dimash, called SwanGoose (I haven't been able to find English subtitles for it but I made my dad watch it and he used to be able to read Mandarin, so I know it has to do with their love of their homelands).
Also, I didn't realize there were different types of Mongolian throat singing, but it makes sense, because the gentleman who does the throat singing in SwanGoose is markedly different from those who performed here. In the other performance, it took me a minute to realize he was even making the noise--I guess you could say it's a little more subtle? In any case, all the musicians playing with them in that performance are outstanding. Thanks again xo

Thank you for reviving these videos. I love Tengri.
This place called home is the Mongolian plain
good vid, spent some quality time with you, thx
Thank you for good reaction!
There is a group called The Hu, they are from Mongolia and a singer Ayenga sings with them and alone.
So many different styles and music all over the world.
Tengri is a highly respected veteran musician from Inner Mongolia. Girl probably referred to his deceased young daughter who died at the tender age of six because of illness. He stayed away from show business for many years after the passing of his daughter. Singers producers tried to convince him to join their shows for years which he finally did in Singer 2018.
So powerful, I am really touched by the performance!!! love love love
Тенгри заставляет меня плакать каждый раз,когда я слушаю эту песню.,он посвятил ее своей дочери.,не дай Бог никому пережить своих детей.,такая боль в его голосе.Спасибо за реакцию.
Как я уже сказал в своей реакции, я даже не могу представить себе потерю такого ребенка. Я чувствовала силу его любви, когда он пел ей от всего сердца. Такой мощный спектакль. Спасибо за просмотр.
Like I said in my reaction, I can't even imagine losing a child like that. I could feel the power of his love as he sang his heart out to her. Such a powerful performance. Thanks for watching.
@@SingerDadReacts you are Russian?
Josh Josh Josh....you know you are late with this reaction right? I've been waiting on this months ago. Anyhow, nice reaction :)
Awesome reaction, thank you.
Loved your reaction. I can see how this song touched you as well. New subbie here!
Such a heartwrenching performance, absolutely love this man. Aside from his passion and undeniable talent he seems very gentle and genuine but has quite a twinkle in his eye and a wicked sense of humour! Hua sang I Dont Care in this same episode and came first but was uncomfortable throughout the placing announcement, even objecting to it saying Tengri should have come first. Thank you for your reactions. Take care.
I love how raw and powerful Tengri’s Heaven is, the first time I heard it and this style of singing I was mesmerized, still am every time I hear it, and it’s amazing to note that he was 58 at the time of this performance, the strength he must muster to express this song...
I had heard Hua’s version first as he was challenged to rearrange it in The Next in 2017, both versions are so different, I don’t think they can be compared, but both performances are a prowess. Hua’s version went immediately viral right after he performed it and Tengri complimented him about it in The Singer, I hope you would check it, it might need some editing though as it’s from the Next... I’m sending a link with English subs in reply to this comment. Have a great day Josh!

Ditto...
@@andrewwilson194 Thanks Andrew!
Tengri's Heaven is definitely one of the greats in Chinese music with Mongolian influences. But another less know Mongolian singer worth checking out is Daiqing Tana, especially when she sings Ongmanibamai or Silent Sky. To me Ongmanibamai is an incredibly emotional and spiritual song that touches the soul with simple lyrics. Granted the word Ongmanibamai is a Buddhist mantra, but the rest of the song also alludes to a spiritual essence without coming off religious. Would love to see you reacting to her song too and spreading the peace this song brings to the soul.
Love to see this reaction from someone who is so interested in the little details! Thank you!
At the 5:26 mark, you can hear one of the Chinese gentlemen tell Jessi J that throat singing is "khoomei", which this link also calls Tuvan throat singing. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuvan_throat_singing
I hope you will listen to the duet with Dimash someone else mentioned- Swan Goose. It's fabulous.
♥️He is so so fantastic!! Such an amazing performance!! ♥️
Hi Josh, I'm glad you discovered Tengri. I like this song the way I love Dimash's SAMALTAU.
It grabs you.The dynamics in his voice are incredible. Would love to hear it without accompaniment just to hear what's really going on.
I had been listening this song over and over since l first saw it on you tube few years back. I can't explain how it moved heaven inside me and as a singer myself trying my best to fuse the music from all over the world, this was one of the best things l have come across so far although l did not understand any of the lyrics there. Thanks to you. I have finally got to understand what the song really meant. Sending lots of love and best wishes from Bhutan. May the music reaches everyone's heart and soul forevermore.
He is mimicking the sound of the traditional instrument Morin khuur, which has a horse head on top of it, you can see this instrument at the beginning of the video, while they do the throat singing～
Oh I'm so glad you reacted to this, one of my favorite, beautiful & emotional...
Every time I listen to it I'm in awe of Tengger's way of singing & expressing his feelings through music.
Does anyone know the name of the traditional musicians & singers please? I would love to listen to what else they may do. Thank you in advance.
Have a wonderful day, take care 🙂
I cry every time i hear this song , i live in china even tho i am not Chinese but i get it , he is from inner magnolia that’s why is sings in mandarin , i just love this man so much.
The part of the huuuuuu falseto that makes me cry everytime I listen to this song. I don't know how, but I can feel the song
I love the way how your react so different and extra ordinary than other youtuber sir - please keep on doing good luck 🍀👍
Yesss! Was headed to bed but BAM. Here it is! Thx!
Enjoy and thanks for watching. :-)
Thanks for introducing the background of the song. I used to think it's a nice song but didn't think much about it. It's heart wrenching after learning the back story.
Your reaction and comments are so sincere. I love this song and Tengri's singing is so powerful and emotional that it touches my heart. I would also like to recommend Tengri's duet with Zhou Shen 《大鱼的天堂》which has been rearranged in a unique and touching way,👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💞💞💞
Thank you, Josh ! Always love to hear your soft voice !
Dimash sang with him, too...
By the way, today - October 9 - I invite you and those, who love Dimash, to vote for him
on MTV USA (TH-cam) Friday Livestream : REQUEST DIMASH
Another great singer who glorifies his Homeland !
His daughter is the homeland and the heaven for him, not just the exact homeland and heaven from Inner Mongolia. Lots of pain in his chest.
For a demonstration of the type of polyphonic overtone singing the man on the right is using in the intro on TH-cam, see "Anna-Maria Hefele - polyphonic overtone singing. She says it a Tuvan style. You'll see she has videos where she tries to teach it, and she also gave a Ted talk where she shows the spectrum of overtones on a big screen live, and a video of a functional MRI where you can see how her tongue position changes as she runs through the overtones. Besides references to his daughter, the song would seem to be a plea to stop the over-industrialization of his homeland, and as the lyrics say, to let the land return to the way it was.
This song was written in 1994, please tell me what industries were there in China in 1994?
Josh, thank you for the reaction. You might be surprised to know that Hua Chenyu sang this as a cover a year or two before Tengger sang it here; it partially explains Hua's reaction, as he obviously has a lot of respect for him. I think you will love Hua's interpretation.
One other thing of note; I do know this song was originally about his homeland of Mongolia, which has been rich with strife and chaos. He is singing about how much he loves his land even through the rough times. He changed some of the lyrics later after his daughter died.
How could there be a war?I am Chinese, how come I didn't know there was a war in Inner Mongolia?There has been no war since the liberation of Inner Mongolia, which was more than sixty years ago. It is worth noting that there was no Tengger then!!Mongolia is different from Inner Mongolia. Inner Mongolia is a province of China and Mongolia is a country. China is not as peaceful as Europe or South America.I suppose you read the so-called facts reported by your side of the media, the Western media...ridiculous
怎么会有战争？我是中国人，我怎么不知道内蒙古发生过战争？自从解放内蒙就没发生过战争了，解放的时候还是在六十几年前，值得注意的是，那时候还没有腾格尔！！！你说的是蒙古国吧，蒙古国和内蒙古是不一样的，内蒙古是中国的省份，蒙古国是国家，中国可不像欧洲或者南美那么不太平。我想你是看那些你们那边媒体报道的吧，西方媒体报道的所谓的事实。。。。可笑
Love your reaction so much, I was so moved by your empathy and sincerity. I had a special feeling for this song since my hometown is Inner Mongolia where Tengeri comes from. I grew up listening to this song. Also, if it possible, want to know your reaction and your professional comment to the song 'Nine girl' (jiu er/九儿）sang by Tan Jing. It is the ending theme of the TV series "Red Sorghum", which is a tragedy about life, war, passion, and pain. There are only four lines in the song, but Tan Jing was able to express the whole story. The song is so overpowering, solemn and stirring.
l like your
reaction very very much!! Thankyou!!
What a touching and interesting reaction to Tengri (Tengger) he is amazing.
As a person from Inner Mongolia, the content of this song means a lot to me
Wow wonderfull.there is no words.just heavenly good.
歌詞中的細微改動讓人惋惜，第一段歌詞中天空，湖水，草原，駿馬，羊群，還有可愛的姑娘。第二段歌詞，天空湖水草原一切如故，唯獨沒有他的姑娘。這是我聽過的最悲傷的《天堂》了，真的太遺憾了。
so touched 😭😭 thank u singer dad
FANTASTIC TENGRI!
BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!
Next: DIMASH and TENGRI singing Swan Goose 🙏
J’adore c’est juste magnifique ça vous touche physiquement : incroyable ❤️🌹
Merci Josh pour cette réaction. Après avoir entendu le duo avec Dimash, je suis allée le rechercher et j'ai entendu cette chanson étonnante. Tengri m'a alors fortement impressionné, et grâce à toi, aujourd'hui je peux comprendre ce qu'il chantait. Merci !! Amicalement de France
Thank you
When people watch this performance they are in aww. But when I do, I am in tears. I am a mess and I'm a grown man. What's going on???
I felt it too. You can feel his anguish at the loss of his dear daughter. As a father of three it hit me hard. Thanks for watching. So nice to be able to share moments of inspiration and power through music with others. Take care.
i hear this song the first time in 2018......coming back over and over again.....
There are so much emotions involved here. I had the honor to hear him on a live performance in Shanghai way back in 2001 and the shock from the sound still registered in my mind.
Glad to see that you have discovered other artists from the Singer competition. If you noticed that beautiful lady sitting beside Jessie J, her name is KZ Tandingan, I don't think you have reacted to her yet. Please check her out, she did an amazing cover of Adelle's Rolling in the Deep.
Even though I don't understand what he's saying. I cried & had goosebumps watching him singing. I felt his pain. Very emotional song😭
Dimash and Tangari sang this song as duet. Please check that. It is very beautiful.
WoW! You've got it right mate.
When I was a child in middle school, I put his CD in my bag. I love his Heaven till now.
Awesome...emotionally moving..never heard anything like it!😢😢😢made me cry😢😢
蒙古呼麦，用的胸腔和鼻腔的共鸣，重低音和高音的转换，会同时产生两种音域共鸣，发音是“u”to“a”
Listen to the song sung by Tenger, I am a Mongolian
That is one of the most beautiful song I've ever heard in my life
#ThankYou.
Btw Tengger also taught the hoo- note you mentioned, to Hua during the show. He has used this technique several times in his recent work.
Josh I feel like you could also do ASMR videos. Your voice is very relaxing to listen to!
Thanks for your reaction made. Tenger is an inner mongolian famous singer, even in Mongolia. Tenger is a mongolian name, Sky.
Lovely lovely song.
Je ne m'en lasse pas....comme si c'était la première fois....
Que d'émotions🌟🌟🌟
i like your reaction.
Glad you finally found Tenger, one of the older generation of great Chinese singers. Actually, he was a rocker, with dozens and dozens of albums to his name. In a later episode he invited his band to perform on the Singer stage with him. This song in particular, though, always makes me cry. It somehow embodies the spiritual connection to the land, which, as Tenger explains in an interview has suffered environmental damage, which efforts are now being made to repair so it is not just that he has been removed from his homeland but there is grief for how the land has suffered. I recommend listening to Swangoose, which he does with Dimash.
he is not Chinese. please get your fact straight.
That translation extends from the literal meaning but adds a better poetic taste. It is beautifully done.
You should react to Tengri & Dimash - swan goose.
Tengger with Charles Zhou have another duet songs of this song, Haeven & Big Fish months back..
Yes, it's《大鱼的天堂》，nice and touching.
I love your reactions, because you are deep and well educated person, which is not something we Europeans usually relate to Americans.
