    If you don't know, David is a Christian vocalist so he remains under the radar but truly he is the best male vocalist on the planet and has been for the past twenty five years. I know...I have seen him 11 times live, met him multiple times as well as his family, been to concerts at his home....he is remarkably humble, gracious and greatly blessed. The best in the world and it's not even close...

    The piano player was Anthony Burger, who played with the Kingsmen for years and was taken from us way too soon. This was LIVE in Birmingham, Alabama for a Gaither Homecoming concert. I have seen comments for No More Night, to which I heartily concur. I would add The End of the Beginning to that list. And the choir were many of the greatest names in Southern Gospel music. #subcriptionsquad

    This concert was actually in 2001. He’s 53 now and his voice is just as amazingly fabulous. It may be time to go down a David Phelps rabbit hole. There is an infinite number of videos on TH-cam from his 15 years with Gaither Vocal Band, as well as his 25 year solo career. Tons of great videos and he never disappoints (I’ve seen him twice recently in concert). If you want a recent selection from 2021, at age 52, try I Have Nothing, his Whitney cover. It will demonstrate that he has not lost one once of vocal prowess, even better in some ways. th-cam.com/video/h5b39F-9458/w-d-xo.html

    I LOVE seeing people react to David Phelps who have never heard him before. You did not disappoint. I know what you meant about feeling like the piano was competing for top billing, but I think that the way the piano was played was what allowed David to control the timing. Definitely check out his other songs. As a Christian, my favorite song that always brings a message of hope is “No More Night.” He can sing many styles of music and 10 years later he is just as good. Maybe even better. He trains and works hard to keep in top vocal form but he always gives God the glory for his very special gift.

We will either be judged based on our own righteousness, which we have none, or we are credited with the righteousness of Jesus Christ, of God, as a gift purchased by His death on the cross and resurrection. God took the punishment we deserve, paid the debt we owe, and died the death we earned, and offers us what He earned on our behalf.

    Like you, the first time I heard this I was NOT prepared for the stratosphere he hit. I remember sitting there just slack-jawed, asking the people in the room "what just happened???" I listen to this every Christmas now. To me, it is the embodiment of the wonder, joy, and meaning of this season. Thank you for your thoughtful and candid reaction video!

    Awesome reaction!! NO MORE NIGHT, WE SHALL BEHOLD HIM, JUST AS I AM. Just a few to start. Please go down this rabbit hole!! Been listening to him for 25 years and he is the best tenor I have ever heard!!

    @misabissett2000 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Your face when he hits those last notes! That is everyone the first time they hear David. He is amazing. I second all the other recommendations below. So many people sleep on David Phelps because he falls mostly into the Christian/Gospel category. Great reaction.

    David Phelps is incredible. His storytelling ability through song is unmatched. Check out his earlier work with the Gaither Vocal Band. Truly he has been blessed with an incredible voice and is doing exactly what he was born to do. Thanks for the reaction! Subscribed!

  • @theKRUGMEISTER
    @theKRUGMEISTER ปีที่แล้ว +2

    one thing I gotta love about people reacting to this video is that nearly every time David hits that first high note, the reactor is so in awe that they don't say anything for the rest of the song. Love to see it!

  • @JuanGarcia-hc1mn
    @JuanGarcia-hc1mn ปีที่แล้ว +15

    When I first heard this I was pulling my hair out. You gotta check out No more night and we shall behold him! He did recently an amazing cover of I have nothing and it is amazing!!!

  • @aliciaharris386
    @aliciaharris386 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Just saw David Phelps sing O Holy Night live last night! It’s still as incredible now as it was 22 years ago! For more of his astounding brilliance I would suggest you react to “Heaven’s Shore”, “Panis Angelicus”, “We Shall Behold Him”, “Let Freedom Ring” and “End Of The Beginning” to name a few! Happy listening!

    You have been "Phelpsed" as we fans of David would say. He is the best vocalist I have ever heard. His portfolio of songs/performances is enormous. Every one is out of this world.

  • @suemcbrayer1497

    Fantastic reaction by you, Danielle! David Phelps sings with such compassion, voice control and excellence (he majored in music and opera at Baylor University) that all of his songs are so compelling. Please react as soon as you can to David Phelps rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." The more you listen to his songs, you understand why people are saying that David Phelps is the best male singer out there right now.

  • @normass1789

    I've been a David Phelps "Phan" for years and, knowing what was coming, I loved watching your reaction. PERFECT!
    And FYI, the gentleman standing directly behind David in the red shirt and tie....that's Mark Lowrey, who wrote the words to "Mary, Did You Know?"
    NOW it's Christmas time!

    (PS - David recorded Nessun Dorma. I'll just leave that here. 😁)

    I've been listening to David Phelps sing since 1997 when the Gaither Vocal Band released their album God is Good, it was their first album with David. I was 9 years old then, and I have followed David's career closely ever since. Many people will give you songs he has done over this quarter century and they are all worth watching, but I'm going to talk about something that I appreciate about David and his artistry. He is a very gifted rearranger, and this is not just my opinion but are the words of Bill Gaither himself. The song in this video "O Holy Night" is one of David's self-professed "Favorite Christmas songs" and he sings it a lot, this performance though is one of a kind, I have never heard him sing it this way again. A few years after this around 2004 I believe, he released a solo Christmas album with this song and it's already different, fast forward a few more years another Christmas Album another version of this song, and so on until his most recent version done in 2018 where we see him change this song to a duet, change the title to "Fall on your Knees" and change the song in such a way I didn't even recognize it as "O Holy Night" for the first several months I listened to it, it just never clicked in my head what I was actually listening to was O Holy Night. But I've always appreciated David's ability to be creative and make music his own and unique not just copy the popular trend. That is why I think David Phelps is not only one of the greatest singers alive today but one of the greatest musical artist alive today.

    @kellieminkler2130 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I Have Nothing will leave you just as gobsmacked. Twenty two years later, he’s still got it. His arrangements are always so perfectly done. You hear things you’ve never heard before but the song is still true to the original. Bad thing is, only extremely exceptional vocalists can sing his arrangements. I have nothing is David, a piano, and a cello and is exquisite.

  • @Pilot545
    @Pilot545 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I LOVE that you pointed out the organ!! I’ve only seen one other reactor mention it and it provides such a HUGE foundation to the energy and power of that part of the song. I LOVE pipe organs!! Haha
    Oh…and David is TRULY the GOAT!! You have SOOOO much more David Phelps to explore! I hope you do…I just subscribed because of this reaction. 😊

    Anthony Burger is the pianist, he passed away in 2006. David Phelps and Anthony were a force to be reccond with. The syncopation that is throughout this song is amazing. David is 53 and still singing and writing songs at 53. He has an amazing history with The Gaither Vocal Band.

    @LyleBoy2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I'm so glad to see someone hear David do his thing for the first time! I highly recommend you check out literally anything from him, because he is incredible! One of the songs he did was Moonlight. He put words to the Moonlight Sonata, and it is such a beautiful song.

  • @brucelanning4420

    @dschlopes2734 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    You have to check out his Whitney Houston "I have nothing cover from recently"... it's in the original key and absolutely unbelievable.
    Whitney Houston used to also say that David Phelps was the best male vocalist, by the way.

    @71742s ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When David sing "No More Night" it brings tears to my eyes. His voice is absolutely amazing. A little notice about the piano play, Anthony Berger.. Anthony passed away a few years ago while playing piano on a cruise ship. I believe he was only 44 years old. You can go to Wikipedia and read about Anthonys struggles after being burned on his hands when a baby and his parents were told he would not be able to do much because the burns were so bad. Anthony showed them though. Also listen to David sing " Let Freedom Ring" when he was in the Gaither Vocal Band. He will set you back on your heels. In my humble opinion, there is NO singer including tenor who can top David Phelps.

  • @MTRAdmiralty

    @justlinsu ปีที่แล้ว +3

    David had not long been part of this Group and was still very shy...if you watched the end he kind of moves himself into the background...but is pulled forward by Bill Gaither and made to take a bow. lol Such a humble man. Please do more from David. He is still writing and performing at the age of 50+ He recently did his own version of 'I have Nothing' a Whitney Houston smash hit....which just left me gobsmacked. He sang it in the same key too. Sending love from Australia 'liked and subscribed'

    @debbieforhim7800 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    He is AMAZING!! I've met him a few times at his performances and he is so funny, kind, and humble. We get to go see him perform in February near Phoenix!!! Can't wait. He's Alive is my 2nd favorite after his O Holy Night - which still makes me cry!!!

  • @MLOB96
    @MLOB96 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    David is one of the best vocal talents in our lifetime. Even if you are not religious, I suggest watching more of him. All those people in the background singing are all famous gospel singers too. Every single one of them has incredible clarity and range, but they come together like a choir. If you watch enough Gaither videos, you start to recognize people individually. You also start to realize how much you can really feel something for music when the singer feels it themselves. It's truly eye opening.

  • @suevillarreal9315

  • @ASyler
    @ASyler ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Welcome to the world of David Phelps! He's one of the greatest male vocalists--ever. There's no shortage of awesome performances of him for you to react to... We Shall Behold Him, No More Night, The Dream, I Have Nothing, Let Freedom Ring (with the Gaither Vocal Band)... those are some of the best ones, though pretty much anything is incredible. He's incredibly gifted and believes what he sings. A student and master of his own voice. I can't wait to see your reaction to his next song! Enjoy the rabbit hole. :)

  • @mikkelsv4804
    @mikkelsv4804 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I grew up listening to David and have seen him in concert! He is SOOOOOOO underrated!!!! I highly recommend his performance of Nesum Dorma as well as "water" which he sings with his daughter. She is, unsurprisingly, a phenomenal soprano.

    Let Freedom Ring is a song he was on that he just crushed. He did a blind key change that he pulled out of thin air. He is unbelievable.

  • @kevinnguyen5042
    @kevinnguyen5042 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    So masterful of singing, so emotional . He is one of the best tenors out there. Many decades past by and he is still slaying it. The voice full of emotions and gospel and so resonant . To me, this is the English lyric version of the song at its best, and the best classical version is from Jussi !
    And I listened to Mariah Carey and a tons other vocalists, still not it until David’s version and Jussi’s version!

  • @debbieforhim7800

  • @lynnebaker7787
    @lynnebaker7787 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One of the best tenors in the world! All the recommended songs below are good. He actually has a more recent song done I think during the pandemic, where he sings Whitney Houston's " I have nothing, if I don't have you". Amazing! And he is in his mid to late 50s now and still sounds just as amazing.

  • @waynesmith5442
