I barely even so much as breathed for nearly 4 minutes. That was absolutely stunning. Titus Burgess doesn't get the accolades he deserves; his voice is simply stunning, add the majesty that is Voctive, and it the entire performance is perfection.
I agree and disagree with you about Titus. I think he's pretty well respected. 5 Emmy nominations for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt plus being the original Sebastian in Little Mermaid on Broadway. I think he's in the same position someone like Brian Stokes Mitchell was years ago. Will he ever be the biggest star in the world? No, but everyone that knows him really loves and respects him.
I’m a classical/choral singer in the UK, and I’m obsessed with Voctave. Titus and Voctave is the collaboration I needed. The tight, clear and incredibly musical sound of Voctave with Titus’ incredible set of lungs is just one of the most perfect combinations I have heard for a long time! Bravi tutti!!! 🎉🎉
Titus’ face when he realizes they killed it. And when oh when will I learn to get my tissue in my hand before I pull up a new release from our Voctave. I snot nosed down the front of my shirt on the way to the kitchen.
I cried the whole way through!!!!!! As if heaven opened up and i heard actual angels singing. it's been years since a song moved me like this. No words can describe how truly angelic and heavenly this is!
Kate, Tiffany, Ashley, Sarah, Chrystal, E.J., Drew, Jamey, Kurt, Aaron & Karl - I love you all so much! BRAVO! Jamey, you're a genius! Shout out to my favorite LOW voices - Kurt, Aaron & Karl!
@@emfox6280I still say nah. It's just the same way people complain about the vocal purity of CDs vs. vinyl, or why people shell out for that concert experience even though they could listen to a perfectly streamed rendition at home. Ai might end up being able to fake it better than an actual person, but it still will never beat the wonder of an actual human being able to produce those sounds, emotions, etc. Plus, there's the fact that most people are inherently predisposed to root for flawed creatures or underdogs more, it doesn't get more flawed than humans. Ai might have to start glitching in order to maintain long term appreciation 😂
Speaking of AI, I saw a robot on a soccer field bouncing around like it was human. Dude juked him and AI fell. So funny, somebody actually thinks a robot can beat a human!!! No way!
As an African-American growing up in Oakland,CA during the 60s amist ground zero of gun violence, murder, projects, heroin, poverty, police brutality and social unrest, I saw the movie and heard the theme song and I recall a feeling of hope. Hearing the updated version today affirms that I made it out of that war zone alive and that song is one of the reasons why & how. Thank you for the reminder💞☮
Some people have voices that hit a "supremely satisfying" button in your brain. Tituss is one such person. The moment he started singing, my entire body relaxed and it felt like my brain had been wiped of worry.
Yes! I never thought I'd ever hear anyone impress me with that song as much as Barbra ... until now...!!! ... This was a truly brilliant performance...!!! Barbra would be proud...!!! 👏🏽 🎵 🎶 🎧 ❤
It’s rare that a vocalist gives me the goosebumps, even up my spine. Whew! Hearing Mr. Burgess sing live is high, high, high on my bucket list. Thank you for this video! New sub, definitely.
Lord Tituss didn’t have to body this song like he did!!!! Talk about when god given talent and training merge together. This is what you get!! Good lord!
Okay, I grew up on the Streisand/Nelson Riddle orchestration version from the movie, which may be the greatest singing in the entire world. This version by Titus Burgess and Voctave is so stunning and gorgeous that I am floored. As a musician/musical director, to hear the second half of this piece paying homage to the Nelson Riddle orchestration, with Titus recreating the Streisand vocal arrangement with his extraordinary belt, is just blowing me away. Literally had me in tears. I bow to all of you. ❤
Watching that last part on repeat. What a spetacular high C! You can see him oppening his chest to unleash that note that strongly. That's godly. Bravo!
A friend sent me this. I am ashamed to say that I havent heard of Voctave before, something I am correcting now. I am obsessed with them now. Already saw all the videos. What an arrangement this was for this classic sound first recorded by Barbra Streisand in 1970 who also acted in the movie with the same title. In this arrangement they sound like an orchestra. They should be going to all the TV talk shows, to be seen and heard and get the recognition they deserve!!! Bravi!!!
Voctave is incredible. They are every bit as good live, as well. Definitely check out "Someone Like You" and "Disney Princess Medley" for primo Voctave. 10/10
I second the motion! My thoughts exactly :* Jamey, please make more arrangements.....you always make beautiful original arrangements even more beautiful!!! Love you, all
Tituss was the perfect choice for this beautiful arrangement!! Gold stars all around. It’s easy for me to gauge how good a song is by how significant the tingling is at the base of my skull is and how far down they travel and my pinky toe felt the tingles!! Bravo!!
I have always loved this song. But, OH MY GOODNESS this arrangement made my heart burst with JOY!!! Mr Burgess should be celebrated for his many gifts, and Voctave are in a league of their own. Amazing rendition, and keep them coming.
WOWOWOW! TITUS!!!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 This is one of my favorite songs and this version… those harmonies, and Titus’s lead brought tears to my eyes. Just a gorgeous rendition.
My God, Mr. Burgess is amazing singing this song!!! Never thought I would hear anyone do as well as Barbra Streisand. This gave me chills from head to toe. Bravo Tituss.
I was reluctant to listen to this because I loved Barbra’s rendition of this song. However, I am so happy that I chose to watch. I was mesmerized for the duration! Love, Love, LOVE this!!! Kudos!
Wow, Wow, Wow! To hear someone else's rendition, especially using Voctave as your instruments is pure genius. Tiffany Coburn is a dear friend of mine and to hear her extraordinary High Notes compliment your smooth and sultry style, is quite exquisite. Tituss Burgess, you have always sung with your heart & soul. Which in return God had fully Blessed You with such a strong, yet soft and beautiful instrument as well. PERFECTION!
WOW! Jamey, this arrangement featuring Tituss was amazing. I got chill bumps listening to this beautiful song. All of the VOCTAVE voices were so precise. One of your best projects to date.
Your beautiful rendition was phenomenal..the collaboration of these amazing singers who probably are the best of the best felt like a gift.. Thank you, thank you, thank you🥲💝💝💝
Hail people! What a beautiful song! Listening here, I got goosebumps! It's literally heaven on earth! Immense success to all and God bless you! Long life! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
This arrangement slaps! And I've only ever heard Tituss' live recordings, but I'm definitely looking out for more studio stuff from now on! Voctave, y'all rock my world.
Just beautiful. When I was a young teen, my aunt and uncle took me to my first professional play and it was the one with this song (same title). I was mesmerized, and that was the beginning of a life-long love for the theater. For a dozen or so years, I wrote theater reviews and had the opportunity to meet and interview some amazing directors, actors, composers, lyricists, and choreographers. We just never know what impact we're going to have on a young person's life.
That is one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen IN MY LIFE. I'm 56. I love B.S. and to find this is so awesome. I'm still in tears. It was just beautiful. I need to see you live. Where do I get tickets!!!!! I can't wait to share this with everyone I know.
I imagine this is what the angels in heaven sound like! You all did such an amazing job! OMGAWD! I'm speechless. This was beautiful beyond human comprehension. Thank you Mr. Burgess, I had no idea. I salute you all!
Absolutely breathtaking! I have listened to this like 25 times now lol. I'd love to see the behind-the-scenes (if there is any) of these. I bet they are awesome
Spinetingling beauty. The soloist was perfect for this arrangement a mix of power, control and expression with a hint of his heritage (which was lovely to hear). The vocal arrangement as usual was pristine and very well handled by this stunning vocal ensemble.
How did the best voices on this earth just happen to form a group??? They are heavenly.
It was founded by Jamey Ray and Tony DeRosa.
❤
Magnificent 😍
Yeah they are❤

He gets ALL the respect on Broadway, i'll tell you that much. Not many can take a song tuned for Babs and make it into something else.
He’s the guy from The Unbreakable show on Netflix 😯. He has a great voice and is extremely funny on that show 😊
Same here!
@@mustangdaddy4125he is so much more than that show. Broadway royalty. But he was great on the show.

Titus’ face when he realizes they killed it.
And when oh when will I learn to get my tissue in my hand before I pull up a new release from our Voctave. I snot nosed down the front of my shirt on the way to the kitchen.
I love his expression at the very end! I’m sure you are right. Everyone else knew they nailed it, as well😂
Thanks for inviting Tituss. I can't wait to hear the rest of the Friends series.
❤ Bravo!
I cried the whole way through!!!!!! As if heaven opened up and i heard actual angels singing. it's been years since a song moved me like this. No words can describe how truly angelic and heavenly this is!

Harmonies are always on point and Titus Burgess is perfect. Thanks for the chills.
Just WOW! This vocal arrangement kills! The suspensions are tremendous. Totally joyous! My hair would be parted if I had any! So completely fab!
AI will never match humans with talent, passion, taste and soul! OMG!
Give it a few years

You have no idea how complex the human body is

Such a beautiful comment
Amen. God had your back. i know how u feel.
this song is comfort and a way thrue the desolation, truly, but Cleo Laine was my guide voice.
A Voice Anointed and Blessed by GOD Himself.... CMoore 💞 😢💞
Some people have voices that hit a "supremely satisfying" button in your brain. Tituss is one such person. The moment he started singing, my entire body relaxed and it felt like my brain had been wiped of worry.
Man. What a ride!
And I saw him stick his tongue out at the end! 😂
It's hard to hold a note as long as Barbra can! That woman has 5 lungs! hehehehe
OMG!!! I have chills!!! Stunning!!! Thank you for lifting up the Universe!!! ❤️🙏🏽
Gives me goosebumps
I was just about to say the same thing....Wow !! BRAVO !
I was going to write the same thing! Best version of this song ever.
Ps. Barbra would be proud of you Titus. Not everyone can do what you just did here. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes! I never thought I'd ever hear anyone impress me with that song as much as Barbra ... until now...!!!
... This was a truly brilliant performance...!!! Barbra would be proud...!!! 👏🏽 🎵 🎶 🎧 ❤
#FACTS!❤
Someone should send this to Barbara and get her opinion on it.
I envision angels giving a standing ovation!
Thank God, Lord in Heaven, I'm alive and listening Voctave and Tittus now.
Great song that requires a performer of this caliber.
This is why the world needs music. I have no words. Incredible artistry all around!
It’s rare that a vocalist gives me the goosebumps, even up my spine. Whew! Hearing Mr. Burgess sing live is high, high, high on my bucket list. Thank you for this video! New sub, definitely.
Dang, you too!?
@@ceb2544 Yes, he’s the absolute best! And he sings with so much passion and thoughtfulness. He’s the real deal!

I second the motion! My thoughts exactly :* Jamey, please make more arrangements.....you always make beautiful original arrangements even more beautiful!!! Love you, all
NOW THAT'S HOW YOU FINISH A SONG 🥵🥵
ps: Tituss' face at the end is UNMATCHED 🤣
Yes, it is, I wish the video continued so we could see the rest of his reaction.
Tituss was the perfect choice for this beautiful arrangement!! Gold stars all around. It’s easy for me to gauge how good a song is by how significant the tingling is at the base of my skull is and how far down they travel and my pinky toe felt the tingles!! Bravo!!
1-billion star performance! Standing ovation!! Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!!!
Such pure sound from Titus Burgess. Crystal clear sound.
I have always loved this song. But, OH MY GOODNESS this arrangement made my heart burst with JOY!!! Mr Burgess should be celebrated for his many gifts, and Voctave are in a league of their own. Amazing rendition, and keep them coming.
WHY WHY WHY ON EARTH DOES THIS MAN NOT HAVE A CD OUT?????? WHAT A PERFECT CHOICE TO SING A LEAD WITH VOCTAVE.
Stunning performance from everyone! Tituss is brilliant! Thank you!!!
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Absolutely stunning performance. Many thanks.
WOWOWOW! TITUS!!!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 This is one of my favorite songs and this version… those harmonies, and Titus’s lead brought tears to my eyes. Just a gorgeous rendition.

Your group is amazing, I have always admired the blending of talented voices singing together and producing such a magnificent sound. Bravo.
Love Titus so much, such a symbiotic collab, beautiful. ❤
I wasn't in tears before even the 30-second mark. You were in tears before even the 30-second mark. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank You, Voctave For This Beautiful Gift Of Your Music 🎶
Wow!! You all grabbed my heart and did not let go. Beautiful!!
Holy moly, what a great performance. LuvYa, Tituss!!!!
WOW! I don’t know enough superlatives to express how I feel about this! Total perfection in every voice!
