Hey Guys,
Today we are looking at O Holy Night sung by David Phelps live. He really is an incredible vocalist.
Tanks for watching
Hoping your day got just a little better.
#theBlindLeadstheBlind #DavidPhelps #Christmas
When he sings high tenor with the GVB on the live version of Alpha and Omega, it is heavenly and otherworldly. It will carry you places.
I saw he in concert at my church and he was great.
I get choked up everytime I hear this version
The misty eyes comes from the message. The power of this version is in the message and how God uses David's voice to convey His message of hope. Seek Him, find Him, know Him, and esp accept Him. You'll never be the same!
The pianist's name Anthony burger..who died at 44....and it's so true...the best o holy night version ever heard...
I've seen him live...no fixin' nothing...it's all him.
😎 appreciate your break downs. I learn a lot. Thank you
We saw David sing this live again last Friday, it's still as fantastic as ever 20 years later.
Another great Christmas Song is "NARY DID YOU KNOW". Like you were talking before, it was Co-Written, but for somewhat different reason. Mark Lowry composed it and sang it for a friend who wrote the music because Mark can't read or write music. He has a perfect ear for music and can sing almost anything. Mark I believe brought David into the Gaither Vocal Band and the Homecoming Concerts
Sorry, type-o, "MARY" did you know, that should have said
If you have listened to more of David's music, I would guess he has brought you to tears and made you feel it pretty much every time you listen to him!! He is a master at delivering the message of a song. He is absolutely incredible!! I will be seeing him tomorrow night in concert again - and he nails every song every time he sings!!!
You have to hear him sing Let Freedom Ring.... High note is insane!!!
David is a fellow Texan, but is not an Opera singer, but he studied at Baylor College of Music, and is a Gospel singer. Check out Let Freedom Ring a Tribute to the first responders of 911, I’ll edit in the link. You also need to see No More Night, really anything he does is great. The piano player Anthony, he had a heart attack not long after this and died. It’s been a great loss for everyone.
David has been classically trained and does sing some opera songs. He is incredible and can sing anything! Tony Bennett was a huge influence in his life and tonight at his concert he paid tribute to him!
And yes, Anthony Burger and David were both with the Gaither Vocal Band for several years. Anthony actually died while playing in a concert. He and David both - incredibly gifted musicians!!!
You should listen and watch the Live version!
This is the live version. Just not the video
Best version of one of the greatest songs ever written by the best tenor on earth. That's it.
Check out Mary Did You. By Mark Lowery. He sings with Voctave.
Great review. David Phelps is truly a one of a kind tenor, that a lot of people have never heard of .. Also, he is even better in person, than in a studio recording
This song was divinely inspired and anointed ( presence of God all over it!) while singing...yes, I do shed tears thinking that the son of God became a man so we can become Sons of God! What incredible love!
So when David first arranged this with the pianist Anthony Burger, he told him to just keep playing through the runs as he sang and not to stop until He did so that’s why Anthony kept playing. The newer versions on David’s Christmas album are the same arrangement but since Anthony sadly passed away, the piano is slightly different from this particular version.
David asks Anthony to roll at certain points and keep rolling. Anthony Burger, famous pianist.
Pianist is Anthony Berger. RIP. One of a handful of pianists certified by Steinway
Hes an AMAZING GOSPEL SINGER
The pianist was the late great Anthony Burger, originally of the Kingsmen quartet. (Or as they were commonly introduced, "The mighty KINGSMEN QUARTET!") One of the premiere southern Gospel quartets 70s through the 90s.
My wife briefly dated Anthony when they were young. Anthony died suddenly of a heart attack at 44.
David is not an opera singer, but a classically trained gospel/ pop singer.
His live performances are usually better than studio versions of the same song, nearly flawless live.
He considers himself a stylist as he sings all genres, except rap and heavy metal, although I wouldn’t put it past him.
He is also a wonderful arranger and song writer.
If you like jazz, check out his new song, “Song for Sinners.” It’s really beautiful with amazing vocals, even by his standard.
There no comparison to a great live performance. I agree with that.
@@theblindleadstheblind You should react to David's version of Whitney's "I Have Nothing". Jaw dropping.
The late Anthony Burger on the piano was the absolute best ever.
Anthony Burger was amazing on the piano. Heaven has a good jam session going on right now. ♥️
Yes, not an opera singer, although he was a vocal music major in college. He’s a top Christian/gospel singer.
Beautiful. You sould watch it live...so much emotion :)
David hits an F#5 when he sings "Nessun Dorma" (translate "No one sleeps"), from the opera "Terando". As stated by others he isn't an opera singer, but he does do a few Tenor arias from operas. You should check out the song "No More Night", too. It's not a Christmas song, but it is full of hope.
I believe the opera was Turandot.
David's original version of O Holy Night is the standard bearer for any male vocalist who performs this song. Personally I feel this is the best rendition ever, male or female.
Got to see David live last year and it was great!
Ha! I just found your channel and am enjoying your reactions quite a lot. You are hilarious. HA! Can’t wait for more reactions!
David is my favorite singer. You should hear him sing "the dream" and "until then"
Check out him singing We Shall Behold Him, No More Night, Nessun Dorma and I Have Nothing. He's amazing!
Even though I have listened, hundreds of times, to David singing this song - I missed WATCHING him singing it during this reaction video. I assume the video was not shown because of copyright? David HAS to be watched so it can be seen how much feeling he puts into his singing!!!
He’s a gospel singer
David's music definitely hits me emotionally and moves me like no other artist. This is why I love him so much. He must be tapping into my dopamine receptors or something. I can't explain it. I just know it feels great! AMEN!
He’s a gospel singer.
I'm sure you know this by now, but the piano player was Anthony Berger. He had an amazing piano life story starting when he was 4. He died very young of a heart attack while on a Gaither Tour
Great video. I enjoyed it very much. Awesome singer.
David is not an opera singer (did I spell it correctlly?) anyhow, he is a gospel singer; and has done many albums. I am no expert; nonetheless I did, some years ago, compare this with the three tenors, one at a time, also with Mario Lanza, and everyone I could find that might sing in his league. In my opinion this was the most outstanding, and I loved Mario Lanza's voice, but to me this was the most outstanding, and surely more passionate. Thank you for playing it. As for Anthony Burger, you are welcome to your opinion, of course, but he was great. He had quite a history, with hands burned when he was little and his hands were not large at all, but he played all over the place and received many awards. Just had to tell you this.
Check out The End of the Beginning. Check out Let Freedom Ring.
He was trained classically at Baylor University in Texas. He did train in Opera (Bell Canto) and his professors pushed very hard for him to go the opera route in his career, but David is a devout Christian and his history and heart was in Christian music, beginning with contemporary Christian and then moving into gospel with the Gaithers while continuing his solo career in Contemporary. You hear the Classical training, that's why you thought opera. The breathiness and some of the more pop like touches combine with his classical operatic training to make him exceedingly unique. He just released an album (Gamechanger) with all his own songs since he is an extremely talented lyricist, arranger, composer as well as vocalist. You should check out his channel on TH-cam, he posts lots of his music here. I enjoyed the reaction. Thank you!
Please react to David Phelps singing Ava/Maria/The Lord's Prayer , acapella, absolutely beautiful !!!! Enjoy your reactions !
You should go to the Gaither concert held in Birmingham, Alabama and watch this live. Incredible!! You can find it on youtube.
I respect a man who can use the word ahole (justly) while talking about the song O Holy Night. I have a feeling Jesus would agree with you. I also have to say that the message of the song is equally breathtaking.
Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 4:10
David isn't an opera singer, he's a Gospel singer...
David is classically trained but NOT an opera singer… you may want to check out David with Charlotte Ritchie singing a variation of O Holy Night written by David… Fall On Your Knees… wonderful💕
He’s not an opera singer. He was classically trained at Baylor university. I’ve seen him live 12 times. Hearing him live is something you have to experience. It’s unexplainable
Anthony Burger was one of the best pianist
You should hear Fall on your Knees!! The best!!
Not an opera singer...never has been....but he is the best male vocalist in the world today and has been been for the past twenty years or so more...
David isn't an opera singer. He categorizes himself as a Gospel singer.
...but he does sing opera, and perfectly.
Where did you get the idea that he was an opera singer? He ha been a Gospel singer his entire life.
Went from watching your John Denver video to Metallica, and now this. Nice diversity!
I like a lot of styles of music. I thought it was a funny contrast as well. Haha
@@theblindleadstheblind Same here, to much good stuff from so many styles not to be diverse. And I’m sure for a musician like yourself it helps to have many different stylistic influences.
Started watching your views and you do very well. Thank you.
You should watch his live version of this. It's outstanding.
He's classically trained but he's not an opera singer. You should listen to his version of Nessun Dorma.
Yes. He has very loyal fans who are making that fact pretty clear. He’s definitely using opera singing techniques in this song though to my defense. Great to see how many people love this man’s music.
Here’s the live performance from 2000 of David during a Gather Christmas concert.
Be blessed!

He sang it with Bill and Gloria Gaither band
Yes, thanks for that add on.
Actually there is a live video of this audition on youtube.
This is a live preformance of O HOLY NIGHT. I have bee blessed by live performances of this beautiful song more than once. When yo say music moves you , I can agree that DAVID'S voice is so powerful and beautiful, I have been truly moved and my spirit has bee touched by this great man of GOD everytime I hear him sing. Thank you for reacting to this song. You must react to more.

In my opinion, David has a better version that came out later and is paired with Silent Night. It is on his One Wintry Night album and also on TH-cam. Also check out Moonlight.
He says he’s a stylist.
I really enjoyed your reaction! This has been my favorite male performance of Oh Holy Night for YEARS.
NOW, please react to Gabriel Henrique's version of Oh Holy Night, as he recently covered Mariah Carey's version. Talk about total vocal INSANITY. If you have never heard of him, he is from Brazil and is an absolute phenom. Please react to Oh Holy Night and then "Stand Up". Once you listen, you will want to hear every cover he has ever done!! Happy New Year!
Here’s a recent song he sings at his ranch where he renovated a barn into a small concert hall. Be blessed!

Hes not an opera singer...but he has had classical training.
He’s not opera singer !!!!
He’s Not an opera singer!
NO, Dufus! He's a CHRISTIAN singer, singing from his CHRISTIAN soul about his Lord Jesus Christ. Opera singer... If you're not a Christian, David is not for you. He is inspired by the Lord...UNfollow
I guess you missed the love one another stuff. That’s okay. ❤️
I am ashamed by your comment. So immature. Are you a Christian? Better check yourself!
