Citizen 426 oh my gosh...I tried to hard not to laugh..I lost it at your comment. I guarantee for pure love of this guy, Jesus will allow him to lead worship in Heaven. Good on him eh.
What's really sad about this song is the music is so good it only needed a good singer to back up what it was portraying a good singer wasn't available so they got this guy instead! 😬🙏😟😳
James sets the pace again here, leading even the backup vocals through Cannup Modulations, in and out of treacherous harmonies not yet contemplated by worship leaders the nation over.
I'm amazed that I made it to the end of the song... even though I had to stop to clean up the milk and cereal I spewed from my mouth when he got to the chorus with "I'm a-MAAAZED".
The best part is 4:16 when he releases his inner pentacostal by throwing in a Jesus off script and semi awkwardly lifting up one of his hands. It was a thing of beauty.
I heard he was just an ordinary man, and one morning he woke up with the gift of song. what a miracle! the devil's gift of self-delusion the morning before is unrelated, I'm sure.
If Mars Attacks, we dont need Slim Whitman playing through our loudspeakers. I foresee this guy single handedly saving humanity. Folks we are in the presence of greatness.
This guy is right about I'm amazed, because I'm amazed they even let him back in the building after he went looking for a city and couldn't find it! 😂😎😬🎤🗣️💿
My brothers and I performed in gospel music for over 10 years, and were traveling out across the U.S. as a trio, and were educated for many year under Ben Speer's Stamps Baxter School of Music at Belmont University. We haven't performed in near 10 years, but I guarantee that I would perform a less appalling performance if I had drank half a liter of 80 proof, and been strapped to a bumper whilst being pushed through blackberry bushes.
kenneth davy because that's the thing in gospel music. there are like 4 key changes every song. this video is golden because it's so bad and i am so glad he does what he does. this is tru entertainment.
There are seriously people clapping... The comment section for "Looking For A City" brought me here. I wanted to hear for myself if he was always "that bad." There are people clapping BEFORE he started singing? Wow.
I’m sorry, it’s been three years, but I cannot stress how pissed off “singbird” makes me. Holy fuck dude, it’s songbird. This fucking abomination of language isn’t even that bad, like we all make spelling mistakes, but “singbird” is a different story. It’s ungodly. It’s weirdly unsettling. Please, use spell check.
“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.” Psalms 100:1-5 KJV
I am going to play all his songs I can find on TH-cam, so my family in law will leave earlier back home during the X/mas days. Hahaha. This is so hilarious. Yes, he is a true Believer. The lord will welcome him one day so he can sing in heaven.....happy holidays!
Ever since "looking for a city," I've been looking for more of this talent. Thank goodness there's more!
Truly, he is a voice in the wilderness.
Citizen 426 oh my gosh...I tried to hard not to laugh..I lost it at your comment. I guarantee for pure love of this guy, Jesus will allow him to lead worship in Heaven. Good on him eh.
Lol 😂 me too
@@thekirstycameron Selaphiel begs to differ.
Me too! That looking for a city was the pianist fault.
Who needs the 3 tenors. James hits all their notes together and at the same time! Carry on my wayward son~
The 11th commandment , "James Canupp, thou shall not sing."
Amen!
🤣🤣🤣 👍👍👍
Amen
God says make a joyful noise unto the lord
But I still kinda wish this commandment existed 🤣🤣🤣
@@parisrose9443 yes a JOYFUL noise not a train wreck. lol
Singing in keys no one imagined were possible. I believe this is the key of Z.
Josiah I think the key is z plus plus etc etc! They might have to name a new key after this guy, the key of don't sing after me! 😬😬
What's really sad about this song is the music is so good it only needed a good singer to back up what it was portraying a good singer wasn't available so they got this guy instead! 😬🙏😟😳
@@ritchievernon8099 totally agree
I think the key is F demented
I’m amazed that they let him sing for this long.
They are all down under the pews rolling with laughter.
@@christopherjohnson1803I would be 😂
The song title "I'm Amazed", says it all!
I used to wish I could sing. Now I wish he could.
Dang
He took falsetto to a different level...
James' performances are addictive
Only Jesus can love a voice like that...
Oh man that got me 🤣
I'm glad he is brave enough to sing in front of people.
That transition he hit at the 54 second mark is the stuff dreams are made of.
You call them dreams… some call them nightmares…
I can't believe that they let this guy so like a whole concert. 🤣🤣🤣
I would’ve been dying of laughter at that show 🤣🤣
Im glad to see he dressed up for the occasion. Those Southern Baptists have impeccable taste.
i once was blind...but upon hearing this angelic voice, my blind eyes have been open and now i live a happy and blessed life...
AMEN!
Once you were blind. This voice opened your eyes, but unfortunately now you're deaf. :-D
I’m amazed there are actual people sitting threw this.
Through
Brother James, why don't you sit the next one out...,
No sir, I've got two more!
Spooby hahaha
Christ Jesus. Please lay your holy spirit upon his throat & deliver this sweet soul a voice. Amen. 🙏🙏
I am amazed their is more of this. This guy and his unique sound got me though COVID.
lol same!
It gave me COVID. Lol
@@AaronEllisOfficial 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Covid ran away
Dying😂😂😂
James sets the pace again here, leading even the backup vocals through Cannup Modulations, in and out of treacherous harmonies not yet contemplated by worship leaders the nation over.
So this is what George Costanza is doing for money now...
Alex Menendez LOL!!
yep he ate his entire fortune
Lol that’s who he looks like! Thank you. Lol
HE DID NOT RECOVER SINCE THE END OF SEINFELD
I literally thought it was him before watching the video lmaoo
I want this guy to perform at my friends wedding.
thestone30080 So funny!!! 😂
thestone30080 That's one friend you *WON'T* have any more. 😎
"Friend"? Not buying it.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE invite me so I personally can witness her blessing and see the joy on her face.
😂😂
I'm amazed that I made it to the end of the song... even though I had to stop to clean up the milk and cereal I spewed from my mouth when he got to the chorus with "I'm a-MAAAZED".

Oh man, the tears. They won't stop
That was my favorite part
I heard he was just an ordinary man, and one morning he woke up with the gift of song. what a miracle! the devil's gift of self-delusion the morning before is unrelated, I'm sure.
Thank goodness he chooses songs with multiple key changes; they are definitely his forte (no pun intended)!
If Mars Attacks, we dont need Slim Whitman playing through our loudspeakers. I foresee this guy single handedly saving humanity. Folks we are in the presence of greatness.
God does have a sense of humor! Lol
Absolutely!
Indeed. He created penguins, duck billed platypuses, and kangaroos. :)
DJ Penguino and cannup
RIP this wonderful song.
I won't complain about my church's music anymore........this will fix anyone's hiccup....
He gives everyone hope !
That we all can sing !
If I close my eyes, I don't know if it's Pavarotti or James singing....breathtaking....one of the greats!!
I’ll be amazed if he ever finds that city and a voice.
It's like one day, he realized he could make a certain sound, and decided he should have a gospel singing career using that sound.
To applaud is to lie.
Artistry Artistry No, to applaud is to show mercy on this poor soul
Or to download an applause effect from the internet.
Canned applause never was sweeter
That applause is 100% fake.
I'm pretty amazed, myself.
Nobody can hit the "Q flat" note like Jimmy C!
Thanks James! You are the best of the best of the best!!!!
Im amazed at the harmony with the backup vocals. Glorious.
Looking for a city brought me here. And this guy has such amazing talent! Can’t wait for his next album
He was singing in keys that had never been sang before.
He is so cute 😊
This guy is really awesome! He is a huge blessing and inspiration to me!!!
A member of the deaf community?
There is a key to be had in there somewhere.
Jordan Jones Oooh ooh ooh i cant breathe
q minor
0:41 he almost had it at “then one day” lol
Chromatic Major in the mixolydian mode.
Before this I didnt believe there was a god, thank for this wonderful gift Jesus.
I'd buy that on iTunes for $2.99
Bless his pea-pickin' heart....he should try singing tenor.....tenor twelve miles away! lol let him go solo....solo you can't hear him.
bazinga!
NoEmailJustRespondin
Yes, he should sing On A Hill Far Away, for sure! lol
HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! That's funny stuff right there!
ha ha that was funny.
Matthew Pierce 😂🤣 Yes! Amen!
It is quite a rare feat to sing way out of your range but also be singing every note sharp.
If I ever have a worst enemy I will recommend this guy to sing at his wedding 🤣
"I'm amazed" at his fervor in making truly joyful noise unto His name
It's only joyful for James, it's just noise for everyone else.
Awesome how funny these videos are in their raw form, nothing else needed. The real deal.
The fact that I never listen to the original song makes this 10x better
This guy is right about I'm amazed, because I'm amazed they even let him back in the building after he went looking for a city and couldn't find it! 😂😎😬🎤🗣️💿
One of the greatest tenors
He really was ahead of his time
He's hitting those high notes ..bro is totally a counter tenor.
Ahead of the melody, yeah

what degenerates are down voting this amazing masterpiece?
Why does he continue to try to go higher??!!!??😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
kenneth davy 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
kenneth davy because that's the thing in gospel music. there are like 4 key changes every song. this video is golden because it's so bad and i am so glad he does what he does. this is tru entertainment.
Why does he even try to talk
When you've got it, flaunt it!
There are seriously people clapping...
The comment section for "Looking For A City" brought me here.
I wanted to hear for myself if he was always "that bad."
There are people clapping BEFORE he started singing?
Wow.
I didn't think it's possible but this man sings every song in the key of R, and every gets worse!
This man is courageous. I admire that.
Such a sweet tender voice of an angel
amen
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Oimen m8
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) You playing, right? Please tell me that you are playing.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Lucifer.
Could he hear how bad and off tune he is? Maybe he's special needs?
Blessed with an angel's voice.
Lucifer is an angel… 🤷♂️
CHURCH TALENT AT ITS BEST !!
the singbird of our generation
I’m sorry, it’s been three years, but I cannot stress how pissed off “singbird” makes me.
Holy fuck dude, it’s songbird.
This fucking abomination of language isn’t even that bad, like we all make spelling mistakes, but “singbird” is a different story. It’s ungodly. It’s weirdly unsettling. Please, use spell check.
Would love to hear him sing that one song, shackles. Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance. Man that’d be epic
Ha ha 😂

God put John Cannup here to bring his glory and joy to us through laughter.
I mean this guy is literally a cosmic joke.
He Is Good. Fantastic Voice. 👍🙂
His grandma should stop telling him hes a good singer and then tell him to move out of her basement.
DONT PAY ATTENTION TO THE RUDE REPLIES YOUR FINE IT TAKES A BIG MAN TO GET IN FRONT AND SAY WHATS ON YOUR MIND THAT TAKES A LEADER
What kind of Church Leadership lets this guy get up there and commit such an atrocity??
Unfortunately, quite a few. If you grew up in a baptist church in the south there were quite a few cringe-worthy "specials" that people would do.
projecteightysix Pentecostal Churches too!😂
Certainly this guy is bad on purpose so that he can get likes and views.
Answer - a church leader
I am going to play all his songs I can find on TH-cam, so my family in law will leave earlier back home during the X/mas days. Hahaha. This is so hilarious. Yes, he is a true Believer. The lord will welcome him one day so he can sing in heaven.....happy holidays!
I actually think I've found god through his voice!
Looooookingg for a cityyy
Thank you from the universe for posting these vintage bootleg vids of one of my favorite talents of all time
Nailed it. Again.
What the hell did you listen to?
I need the whole show
"I'm amazed" anyone survived in that church.
You have GOT to be kidding me!!!! This is absurdly funny.
The Lord is testing your faith.
Nailed it!
This is why I’m Eastern Orthodox
Yep, I'm amazed that people are still in their pews.
MyRoman9999 they're drugged
+MyRoman9999 lmao
I don’t see any people watching. And the applause is canned. Just a hoax
4:37 Haters will say there's a backing track...... that's all him, folks
OMG after "looking for a city" I discover "I'm amazed".
Jesus masterpieces after masterpieces ! Thank you lord for this gift LMFAO
I want him to sing at my funeral
There are people there who sat through this live and clapped
4:18 person trying to escape auditorium
4:33 same person starting children evacuation 😂
Oh, yeahhhh!
America's Got Talent!
1:13 to 1:16. A rare instance where James Canupp sings a little on key. Lol
Ear training for pros!
I'm a fan now !
My ears are bleeding and my memory is forever scarred. Pretty much every bombed karaoke song rolled into one.
I laughed so hard I nearly triggered an asthma attack
Why so many dislikes? This is the kind of quality content I want to see more of!
This sin will never be washed away...
Wow I'm moved!
That finale tho...Wow!!!
OH GOD NO!....there's more than "lookin for a city"?? ....ugh :-/
Omg. Somebody tell him.
James is certainly one of the singers of all time!
