Great reaction video. David Phelps is the G.O.A.T. I heard you mention, "He sounds like a baritone." I have read many articles stating, "Vocal coaches have confirmed he has the vocal chords of a baritone." This is the reason why his belted notes are so full, powerful & resonant. Absolutely brilliant man, yet so humble. He did a cover of Whitneys song, "I have nothing." He puts his own little spin on the cover, and it's truly a masterpiece. I have read many articles that state, "David phelps was Whitneys favorite tenor." He is one of the best.
Jump on down the David Phelps rabbit hole! He is phenomenal… even now at 55! Nessun Dorma, Fly Away, dead man rising & water duet with his daughter! I loved your reaction and professional breakdown!
When you said this is one of the best renditions you’ve heard…and you hadn’t even gotten to the good parts…I KNEW I was in for an amazing reaction! Haha. Loved it! 🤙🏼 PLENTY of David Phelps’s content to react to! Just follow the comments here and you can’t go wrong! Merry Christmas!
Welcome to David Phelps! Great reaction. Hope you do more of him, he is a true vocal master. There's so many great performances of his that are just incredible. No More Night, The Dream, We Shall Behold Him, Let Freedom Ring (with GVB), I Have Nothing... enjoy!
You've just been introduced to the greatest male vocalist in the world! This is the best rendition of Oh Holy Night by far. He felt every word he was singing. Perfection. 👌
The pianist is Anthony Burger who, unfortunately, passed away at the very young age of 44 years old when suffered a massive heart attack after a performance with the Gaither Vocal Band on one of their cruises in 2006. Interestingly, he was severely burned as a child and his parents were told he may never use his hands!! If you enjoyed his playing here, you should look up his video when he played the Hallelujah chorus at a Gaither Vocal Band performance in Australia. David used to be with the Gaither Vocal Band, but as a solo artist is a multi-genre artist, writes songs, sings quite a few opera arias in his concerts--Nessun Dorma, O Mio Babino Caro, Una Furtiva Lagrima, etc., as well as Southern Gospel, contemporary Christian, blue grass, has covers for Bridge Over Troubled Water, You're the Voice, I've Got Nothing, etc. There seems to be no end to his talent. I've seen him in person 3 times, and it is an electric experience, and in talking with him, he is as down to earth and friendly as can be. Another of his songs to react to is We Shall Behold Him, which was part of a live performance on his own property in a large that he has converted into a concert venue. He has 2 or 3 gatherings there every year called Barn Bashes. His other Christmas songs are second to none!
Great reaction, loved your reaction when he hit that money note towards the end! David studied voice at Baylor University, his teachers tried to dissuade him from pursing gospel music and a more classical or opera career path.
I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction and comments regarding David. He was classically trained at Baylor University in Waco Texas. Several others have already mentioned multiple other songs to consider, all of which I agree with. I look forward to you reacting to more of his work.
I have seen David 11 times from the front row and have followed him for the past 30 years as well. I have met him and his family several time and been to his home twice for Barn Bash events...in my opinion he is the best male vocalist in the world today and has been for the past 25 to 30 years.
Thanks for checking out David, he's the best!! You must watch "No More Night" so you can hear the best sustained note in music history, as he finishes off that song like only he can, !!
I have Nothing is from 3 years ago. Released this year is Somewhere from West Side Story. He also has several outstanding opera songs. Thank you❤. And welcome to David Phelps.
David's wrote a song about 20 years that was one of his biggest successes, it's called Heaven's Shore, get the live version, it's beyond wonderful !!!!!
Agree with all of the comments about David. I have been following him since the late 1990’s & Bill Gaither’s Homecoming concerts since 1995. I have seen David in person for a TBN taping & at a Gaither concert. I haven’t met David, but I have met Bill Gaither (in 2011). David’s No More Night is spectacular & his rendition of Nessun Dorma is beautiful. He was trained in the Bel Canto style & his degree is in Music & Music Performance. At 55 he is still going strong. Have always loved David! A very sweet person, too. Anthony was also a virtuoso. He passed away in Feb. 2006. Bill knew he could never replace Anthony. Anthony’s Rhapsody in Blue is gorgeous!
After scrolling through the comments, i agree with the many song suggestions. I just subscribed and enjoyed your comments regarding David's performance. Besides the songs already suggested, may i add "He's Alive", "Ave Maria/The Lord's Prayer", "Just As I Am", and "Heaven's Shore". Thank you, and i look forward to more David Phelps reactions.
Yes, David is classically trained and still performs some opera selections (Nessum Dorma, Una Furtiva Lagrima, O Mio Babino Caro...) but he likes performing and arranging most genres. The distinctive arrangement here is the key change for the second verse. This change puts his final note up to a C#5! I've seen a 'comparison video' of several great performer (including Pavoratti) and David is at the end. He did a series with New York Vocal Coaching covering and discussing several vocal techniques. You would truly enjoy checking out more of David Phelps. There are some other great suggestions in the other comments!
David is an incredible talent and was part of the Gaither Gospel group. They attracted top-notch singers, all of whom are worth looking at. As this is one of the best renditions of this Christmas hymn, his fellow Gaither singer, Mark Lowry does the best rendition of "Mary Did You Know" with the a capella group Voctave. Mark is the author of the lyrics, with the music composed by another Gaither singer Buddy Greene. In this video, Mark (who also has some comedy videos) is sitting down because he has multiple sclerosis and his legs dont always work well. th-cam.com/video/uaRpeMT1tjQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rHp8YII-6bBbe2eo
Great analysis. I can suggest a few more of my favorites from David Phelps. While he is mostly on the Gospel circuit, he did do what is considered the difficult “Whitney Houston Song” entitled "I Have Nothing" here: th-cam.com/video/h5b39F-9458/w-d-xo.html For other religious/Gospel songs, I would suggest the following: No More Night (live): th-cam.com/video/4iPIi7sunEU/w-d-xo.html The End of the Beginning (live at Carnegie Hall): th-cam.com/video/LrhSjP5988E/w-d-xo.html He is accompanied with his (then) fourteen year-old daughter, Maggie, in performing Angus Dei (Lamb of God) live here: th-cam.com/video/CIrhABg0QgQ/w-d-xo.html He is again accompanied then seventeen year-old daughter, Maggie, in a play-in-a-song (live) called “Water”. It is the story in John’s Gospel, chapter 4, of the woman at the well: th-cam.com/video/cPcg-SBsOnY/w-d-xo.html All of these are incredibly amazing.
Loved your reaction. I suggest David's cover of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" released a few years ago. Also Let Freedom Ring is also one of David's best when he sings with a group (and the harmonies!)
Listen to David's video of Battle Hymn of the Republic. It will set you free. Yes, this arrangement of O Holy Night is the best you will ever hear. His voice is generational.
It's an old video but David's voice I think has only gotten better. Here's a song he arranged, Fall on Your Knees. It's totally different than what you think with Charlotte Ritchie. I love it so.th-cam.com/video/seMRgYiT6ak/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fjhqVjzGHM2uWNCf
David is God's gift to the world. Please look at his The End of the Beginning and No More Night. He is truly amazing. His voice is only one factor. You also have to understand that he completely believes what he's singing and his music is that much more effective due to his faith and sincerity.
Wonderful reaction! Please also react to some of the amazing Anthony Burger's piano performances: th-cam.com/video/SRKWeeLUWlw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Pv3pOP2GkKM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/P8xJFRQD4tM/w-d-xo.html You will be equally amazed at Anthony Burger on the piano as you were at David Phelps with his voice!
I love watching people react to David for the first time. He truly is amazing.
Hands down best version of O Holy Night!! 🙌 great reaction!!

The pianist was Anthony Burger, who passed away several years ago. Yes, David's anointing is serious.
You'll enjoy the rabbit hole that is David Phelps.
Let Freedom Ring live at Carnegie Hall is one of my favorites
David is anointed by God. He uses his talent to praise our Lord. You need to react to No More Night and Let Freedom Ring.
I saw David in concert recently. At 55 he is still going strong! Love your vocal analysis!😊
Jump on down the David Phelps rabbit hole! He is phenomenal… even now at 55! Nessun Dorma, Fly Away, dead man rising & water duet with his daughter! I loved your reaction and professional breakdown!

Welcome to David Phelps! He is one of the top 5 tenors in the world. Anything DP is amazing. I have been a fan for many many many years ❤

My Dad’s best man was in choir with David.
That was 25 years ago and he just gets better and better
This can certainly be called total mastery of your instrument! Both gentlemen! Sadly, Anthony passed away a few years ago. Our loss for sure!
I think the best live performance ever recorded

Welcome to, what we David Phelps fans call, The Green Sweater David Christmas!!!!
You need to check out, "I Have Nothing", "°°The End of the Beginning", and "Nessun Dorma!"
'Let Freedom Ring' and 'No More Night' are also excellent songs by David Phelps.
❤
David Phelps, in my opinion, is the best male vocalist on the planet.

Great reaction to David Phelps I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend David Phelps version of Whitney Houston's I have nothing from about 3 years ago

Other songs I suggest by Him are No More Night, Fall On Your Knees, I Have Nothing, Nessun Dorma, the star-spangled banner and O Mio Babbino Caro
Loved your reaction. I suggest David's cover of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" released a few years ago. Also Let Freedom Ring is also one of David's best when he sings with a group (and the harmonies!)

Great reaction! You would like his version of Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing and Let Freedom Ring with the Gaither Vocal Band at Carnegie Hall.
David Phelps the best Tenor no one hits like he did😅
Great reaction! You might also check out his cover of I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston. It’s amazing. 🤩
There is NO better version of this song. David Phelps and Anthony left all else behind.
Great reaction video! I suggest, on a secular level, check out “I have nothing “
So now who has the best vocal in the world Carl, David Phelps or Dimash Qudaibergen?
Wonderful reaction! Please also react to some of the amazing Anthony Burger's piano performances: th-cam.com/video/SRKWeeLUWlw/w-d-xo.html

Salutări din România! Poate ați dori să o ascultați și pe cântăreața româno americană Laura Bretan cântând acest cântec 😊🙋🇷🇴👍
Cover of Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing”
Read Anthony Berger’s bio. Anointed by God
Pause your pauses please. You're stopping greatness, to a fault. Lol. More please. David is the greatest male voice on earth
You’ve heard nothing of David yet. Easily thought to be the best tenor on the planet.
David Phelps is amazing, but I prefer Josh Groban, his voice is so clear and pure.
