His is a rare, exceptional male voice that only comes along once in a lifetime. "American Idol" treated this talent like crap. Millions of people should be listening to him. He can sing anything, and it's always unique. If I owned a record company, he would be the star vocalist. Perhaps someday his $$$ ship will come in. Thanks for giving us this video.
I do agree. American Idol - in my opinion - judges don't use an artistic evaluation of an artist all the time. I think they just follow some different criteria, like pushing ahead some competitors rather than other ones, despite their artistic talent. I saw how they treat him. How unfair. Especially that asshole Simon Cowell.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? this kid is AHHHHH-MAAAAZE-IN-GAH!!! listen I am a 40+ year old man who hasn't shed a tear over a song in...ever, ok?! and this kid had me weeping. and that last note is EVERY-THIN-GAH!!! only few ppl have this gift and ability because it is truly a gift from God Himself. stunned, just stunned!!
Oh my goodness! As a life long Streisand fan,(well since I was 13 years old,43 years),I can say I have never been reduced to tears by any other version but hers ... until now! And certainly I've never heard it sung by a male like this. He is quite simply incredible. I'm somewhat ashamed to say this is the 1st time I've heard his voice though it certainly will not be the last. I am now a 'fan' from the UK who'd be overjoyed if he visited us to perform. Absolutely BRAVO!
@@joalexsg9741 So often I'm of the opinion that a song should never be reproduced by anyone, as with this ballad. How wrong I was. This young man's rendition left me open mouthed, speechless. In the original Streisand held the final note for 19 seconds. I didn't time his final note but, wow, what an ending!
@@popazz1 Indeed, he voice is one of those I classify as 'beyond words'! Barbra's version in the movie finale will always be my favorite ever, actually hors concours, but his cover should be registered as among the most beautiful ever sung through all times. And, as I said, the fact that he used momma instead of papa just made me identify with the lyrical subject even more. In fact, I've never felt comfortable with anything patriarchal, as I feel mom's should always come first, even though I know that for many people, it's their dad who play their role, whether in practice or in their hearts.
Your comment is 8 years old and you probably don't care about my thoughts, but when that note starts, it sounds like it has been slowed/elongated in the studio. That's not to say he didn't perform incredibly when this was recorded, but it is to say that it's unlikely to be repeated live -- and you will find that most professional singers do not hold the note as long as the original with such power, when performing live.
The last note made me feel out of this world i never for got him he is very special and gifted to me the world should know about him truly god bless him
I love this version for various reasons, the sound engineering, the vocal attributes, the intonation, the cheeky key changes, and the fact that he made it his own.
Von's rendition is the best that I've heard posted on TH-cam. Consistent flow and phrasing throughout. The performance has a sense of joy and wonder and excitement. Now in my 60's this song imparts those same emotions and reminds me what it's like to be young and hopeful and ready for any challenge which are feelings we should never lose.
Von's got an E.P. of original music that will be available on iTunes sometime in July 2013. I've heard early versions of his original music and...let me just say that he writes music as well as he sings. Absolutely beautiful.
I just found out about you! This is absolutely incredible. I'm a huge Streisand fan for years, and I can honestly say that you are truly gifted with a vocal talent that is on the level of Barbra's. I hope you realize how gifted you are. I don't know why you aren't famous with a voice like that and your handsome good looks. I wish you all the very best and I will keep listening! You've got a new fan!
OMG OMG I just happened on this. I hope this guy is on Broadway..........what an incredible instrument. He looks like he may be English or Australian - Im going to google him right now. WOW!!
One of my best friends turned me on to this guy! He is wild over Von Smith and he put this video up on his Face Book Timeline. That is what brought me here. Now I know why my buddy is my BF! He has impeccable taste. Von Smith is totally unbelievable! I'm sitting here listening to this for about the 5th time and trying to figure out what part of this guy's soul that incredible voice comes from!
VonSmith's slow version of MissBarbra's Piece of Sky was so INCREDIBLE to hear. The long ending to this powerful piece of music (written by the team of Alan & Marilyn Bergman)went on for well OVER a minute!!!! How can he hold a note THAT long?? Keep up the Amazing work...my family is now and forever will be a loyal fan!! Wowie and best wishes.From Danny M. in St.Louis, MO.
my God i never heard anybody carry a note that long since barbra striesand this guy is a one of a kind on planet earth i dont think i will ever forget him ever God bless him
Hi Eddie! I've known about Von Smith for years ever since he performed "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" on the Rosie O'Donnell show. Glad to see that he is still out there sharing his incredible talent. This version of "A Piece of Sky" is just SPECTACULAR!!!
Never having heard this young man befire, I still am blown away at his talent!! Though Broadway-through and through-this Von Smith has a GREAT VOICE!!! Not many singers are equipped to handle such a beautiful, magnificent, complicated and well written piece of gold "SONG"!!❤❤❤ I will be educating myself on some 'Von Smith' information. Great performance (less sceaming-lol) but the best cover since the best. BS!!!🎉🎉
This is by far, the best rendition of this song I have ever heard on so many levels. I hope that Barbra has heard this . There is not one strident note and I love the rewrite of one of the verses . Thank you Von! You really blew me away.
Von did a musical in Los Angeles called, "For The Record: Tarantino" (Plenty of TH-cam videos.) The show got RAVE reviews from everyone, even Tarantino himself! After a 3 year gig, Von moved to NY... Two weeks before Streisand & Brolin came to see it. Barbra has knows who Von is because one of his biggest fans, was the late Marvin Hamlisch. Who personally asked Von to sing with his symphony. They did 3 or 4 big holiday shows together before his untimely death in 2012.
Iam crying . Shit . Why aren't we seeing or hearing more of him? Barbra best female version . Von.best male version . He did voice lessons . Barbra back then didn't get the training ,he got in today's world .
Von had no vocal training and this is an amateur recording he made himself using an old laptop. Barbra's version was recorded in a multi million dollar recording studio. Don't get me wrong, there's no topping barbra. Von's version is a tribute to hers... just happens to be a damn good one at that.
@@justmeiniowa ... Good afternoon Stephen. Wouldn't that be something but I see this video was made 11 years ago so, who knows ??? Perhaps a little research would answer that question. You take care and be safe !!!! :-)
I just saw your comment. Whenever Marvin Hamlisch was conducting the San Diego Orchestra, he would call Von personally. Von would sing two songs, one requested by Marvin, The other was totally Von's choice. So, yes, she knows of him. A mutual friend told me Babs did come to see him perform in an ensemble show in LA, but he had moved to NY the week before. No one's heard from him since.
Incredible control. I have a hard time believing the end is completely real. But it's too natural, it must be real. What a tragedy that this guy isn't out there as much as he should. I've never heard a singer with this much vocal control.
Thank you for posting this. I did not even know of Von Smith's existence, and now I'm a fan forever. I always found this song as probably the most unearthy moment in Barbra's career, and now I find someone (a man, no less) who is capable of making it even MORE unearthy. That last note is... I have no words. And the feeling!
I have listened to this so many times, that I've lost count. I listen to this time and time again, It's probably one of the best covers I've ever heard in my life. American Idol is a joke, those contests or so called talent finders, have never gotten it right. I think only once have I ever agreed with a British one when they picked Calabro. As for the American Idol, they've always screwed it up. It figures that they would overlook someone this good.
When I first heard this, I was mesmerized. I mean what a voice, and this has got to be by far the best version I've ever heard of this song. I've listen to other things he's done, I like them, but honestly none of the others hold a candle to this. It's as if this song was made for his voice.
Hey, how many lungs do you have? Are you of this planet? Oh my God I've never heard such a clear, astonishing heart rending rendition of this Streisand song. Boy oh boy, I'm a fan of yours....forever. And that ending (seems never ending) last note really catapulted me into a different universe. Kudos to you man and keep it up.
Very kind of you to say but I'm not Von, he's a super-talented friend I've known a long time. th-cam.com/users/vonatron . If only you could hear him sing this live... breathtaking. He's a big Streisand fan and was honored to have Marvin Hamilsh personally call and ask Von to sing at a holiday show with his orchestra, which Von did two years in a row before Hamilish's untimely death.
I was drawn in from the first phrase. I remembered myself in New York singing years ago. But , I never sounded this good. I was amazed and cheering him on through the every bar. Brought me to tears. He's got a fan in me! Go kid!
This young man has a stunning future... I have said it from day 1, and I will continue to say it.. There is no other voice on the planet that can match Von Smith... Diction ! Pitch! Emotion! Control ! Inner Ear! The Guys Got It All! Spectacular!! I can understand why Lady GA GA invited him to open for her... Im sure she S---! Bricks when she heard his pipes... His newest release is Out Of This World...
Von's a very good friend of mine and I’m letting fans know that he taped an episode for Nigel Lythgoe's new TV show "Opening Act" on the E! Network that airs on JULY 23! The show finds unknown talent from TH-cam and gives them the chance to open for a major recording artists on tour: Von was chosen by Lady Gaga to be her Opening Act. for her Born This Way Tour in Australia! Don't miss it!

I had to sing this at church last weekend, so I looked on TH-cam for renditions. I came across Von Smith, a name I confess I didn't know. OMG, I was blown away. The control, range and connection to the song's meaning are stunning. I especially love the quiet beginning and the dynamic buildup. I'm rapidly looking up everything I can find lol. What a talent. And you seem like a really nice guy, too. I enjoyed seeing you with Sam Harris, and the comparisons to him and Adam Lambert are of course understandable. All amazing singers. Good luck!
i've been a fan for a few months now....and listen to everything i can....makes my day...night,,,and more...beautiful....takes me to places that i've been....special places...and i love it....there really are no words...just wish i could hear him live....i'm sure that day will come....btw...i'm a big music prude.....and he moves me.....it takes me up...down...and....gee...no words....love it....come to mpls...please...anywhere....even to my club....
Every minute that he is not recording is a loss to humanity. He's in his prime. What are we waiting for?! Get him in the studio NOW.
Increible semejante voz😂
His is a rare, exceptional male voice that only comes along once in a lifetime. "American Idol" treated this talent like crap. Millions of people should be listening to him. He can sing anything, and it's always unique. If I owned a record company, he would be the star vocalist. Perhaps someday his $$$ ship will come in. Thanks for giving us this video.
Old Man Postmodern Jukebox saved him from the banality of pop crap!
American idol is pathetic, why does in not surprise that they'd fail to recognize his talent
I do agree. American Idol - in my opinion - judges don't use an artistic evaluation of an artist all the time. I think they just follow some different criteria, like pushing ahead some competitors rather than other ones, despite their artistic talent. I saw how they treat him. How unfair. Especially that asshole Simon Cowell.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? this kid is AHHHHH-MAAAAZE-IN-GAH!!! listen I am a 40+ year old man who hasn't shed a tear over a song in...ever, ok?! and this kid had me weeping. and that last note is EVERY-THIN-GAH!!! only few ppl have this gift and ability because it is truly a gift from God Himself. stunned, just stunned!!
I just turned 49....right with you there buddy. 😀
Man he have a set of pipes on him! This young man is amazingly talent. That last note just soar
I am stunned....what an incredible gift this kid has! Speechless!!
What a wonderful voice
Oh my goodness! As a life long Streisand fan,(well since I was 13 years old,43 years),I can say I have never been reduced to tears by any other version but hers ... until now!

JohnPaul Dixon did you get to see him, when he came over to the U.K. with PMJ? The show was fab, and he was amazing!
Him and PMJ were all amazing when they played 8n the uk!
That just happened to me in a very shamanic moment I'm going through just now:-)! I've promptly become a fan too!

Está escrito nada es mio
I never heard him sing before, but he blew me away. I never thought I would hear anyone come close to Ms. Streisand's ending, but at 3:30-4:10 he did.
me eitheir even MS Streisand's voice gotten softer with age i wish they find a song these 2 can do a duiet together
I love this version for various reasons, the sound engineering, the vocal attributes, the intonation, the cheeky key changes, and the fact that he made it his own.
It's been a decade since I listened to this cover.. I wish I could find more of his old stuff he's hidden because it's damn inspirational.
One of the most incredible male pop vocal performances on TH-cam. Outstanding.
I was teary-eyed after listening to Von's rendition of this song by Ms. Streisand. Exceptional and breathtaking!
You made Barbara proud, kid!!
It almost sounds like his vocals and her vocals met and became one at 3:41 ❤
What a wow! Couldn't say more! He's out of this world.
It is an increíble voise

This is one of the most amazing performances of this song I have ever heard. Wow, what a voice!
Was NOT expecting to be that impressed. Wow. Just wow. I’m shook. Hands down the best cover I have heard of this song. Period.
I love this song!
I end my week...every saturday evening, listening to this. And it still leaves me speechless.
Bravo. Gave me chills all the way through. Thanks for sharing.
I find I come back from time to time just to marvel again of the talent of this man.

Astonishing and what I liked about it 'enhanced' or not that he made his own of the song... phrasing etc... excellent
OMG OMG I just happened on this. I hope this guy is on Broadway..........what an incredible instrument. He looks like he may be English or Australian - Im going to google him right now. WOW!!
When I think of Heaven Von Smith's voice is the voice I hear.
You should hear Von sing this live. Wow. Leaves everyone speechless.
Sa voix est merveilleuse
Bi-Costal Teacher u ain't never lie.
Bi-Costal Teacher i agree 100%
I thought no one could ever sing this as well as Barbra Streisand... wow, what a voice he has!!!😍😍😍

Just watch Regine Velasquez's version.
regine velasquez version is the best..
@@bjohngonzales7289 have heard two Regine versions of this....mad props - but Von holds that last note for 32 seconds with incredible tonality.
I can clearly hear and understand every single word of the song...that's what i love about this version...Good Job🖒

Streisand would be proud
He’s a belter, pure and simple. Not everyone gets that, or gets to be one. Amazing!
Jesus boy You to'e it UP. I am all in floods. 🏆💪🎖
He kinda reminds me of Freddie Mercury, what a beautiful voice! ♥
OOH MY GOD!!!!! 30 second high note
Speechless. There needs to be a new word invented to describe what this kid does.
I can't even....i'm in tears. In a good way.
Beautiful!!!!!!! ❣️
Oh My God !!!!!!! His voice surpasses legends.
Impeccable 🤗
Ficou linda na voz dele. Só tinha ouvido esta música na voz da Barbra Streisand. O filme "Yentl" é lindo.
Wow. I could listen to Von all day long.
Absolutely breathtaking. I wish he would go on tour!!
What a talent! Eat right, stay healthy and be with us for as long as you can. Bless your heart man.
Absolutely stunning. This is a song written for a female expert. For a guy to take it on and hit those notes is extraordinary. Bravo.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Maravillosa tu interpretacion ...me llego al corazon ...solo bendiciones para ti
