I have seen David 11 times live and have been to his home for 2 Barn Bash events. I have met him multiple times as well as his family so I am very familiar with him. In my opinion he is the greatest male vocalist on the planet and has been for the past 25 years. Unbelievable talent!
I was fortunate enough to finally see David in person last year in IN. While he didn't sing O Holy Night and a few others I had hoped for, he did NOT disappoint. He was actually very interactive with the audience while giving an unbelievable performance 😊😊
@@derronwilson11 Her point WAS that in person he was unbelievable!!! How did you miss it? Listen again with, not your ears, but with your spirit! And what was YOUR point? Did we miss it? Here we have a marvel-ous song by a marvel-ous singer: kind of everyone's point from what I'm seeing. Is your name Derron or Deride?!??
Greatly appreciate your reaction! Couple of notes…it is not his tongue that is causing those moments…he talked about this during his masterclass in NYC…he is actually just changing his vocal chord approximation. His tongue position vary rarely changes. He also talks about his vocal chords…he has unique larynx in the sense that the back is shaped like a bari and his front is shaped like a tenor. Hope this helps!
I need to come in and explain something to you. David Phelps is anointed by God. He is a born-again Christian and the Lord Jesus Christ as anointed him and this is why this singing of this song touches peoples souls. He truly truly is anointed by God. Somethings that man can never absolutely never do. It is a God thing is singing touches my soul, because God has anointed him Ann-Marie, United Kingdom, I myself am a born again, Christian and understand, what the Lord Jesus Christ as done for David Phelps 😃😃😃😃😃🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😊
Zoe, great reaction/analysis. Please consider reacting to a very different arrangement of this song from David done in 2008 for his O Holy Night concert. As great as the version you’re reacting to today is (chills every time) I actually prefer that slower one. Absolute perfection. Love your energy and passion for singing.
New subscriber here from USA East Tennessee, love David, he is amazing. Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I am 67 and can’t sing a note, but love beautiful music and admire people who can sing. David has been in our area many times at one of our local churches
Could you create a comparison video of David Phelps singing the same song-one performance from when he was younger and one from when he’s older? What differences stand out, and what musical choices does he make in each performance compared to the other? What can be observed about his tone and technique over the years? Did they evolve or change? Songs suggestions: - no more night - O holy night With the Gaither vocal band - These are they - it is Finished - Let Freedom Ring - the love of god - hide thou me Homecoming video - it is well with my soul - when I survey the woundrous cross
I don’t think this song could ever be sung any better. I don’t think he could even do it again this exact way. I listen to it all year round since the day it was uploaded!!
@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach a technique to achieve notes below normal range using the false vocal folds, the best at the is the singer Geoff Castalucci of Voiceplay.
I love David Phelps and your reaction was very good! But I will not be listening to you anymore due to your inappropriate language at the beginning. It's like fingernails on a chalk board to me.
I agree. Knows music and techniques but the vulgar language is very inappropriate especially for a Christmas song. I will also not be listening to any other reactions.
Positioning my mouth and opening the pharnyx into a yawning position while smiling helps me raise my palate to keep my notes from getting flat. Also, whenever beginning a passage, take in a low breath like filling up from my diaphram to belly button helps me sustain a steady and on pitch vocal
i enjoyed your reaction Zoe, and I learned a lot. Since you are on "The O Holy Night Marathon" why not compare this younger David Phelps' version to an older David Phelps version: th-cam.com/video/Jxku0nktfUw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sO2XgAF6NdGLh2vt. Enjoy a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
@@ZoeStibiVocalCoachomg thank you, if you doing Jussi Björling you should do O Helga Natt. And if you doing Tommy Körberg you should do Stad i Ljus 1988! Or Anthem 1984!
Love your reaction and analysis! ONE OK ROCK, Japanese band, has a phenomenal vocalist, Taka, he covered *HELLO and Easy On Me - Adelle, he can sing it in original key* check them out!! I guarantee you'll be surprised by his unique voice!! Also check their original *Take What You Want - LIVE Tokyo Dome 2018!* their LIVE performances are always top tier. I'd really appreciate it! Thank you, and you'll thank me later
Here is a challenge to your devotion's measure = Try the HOME FREE version of this Christmas Classic ... You will get the second verse for comparison to the Great David Phelps High Tenor - a man named Austin Brown ! Younger, smaller build on the power, yet more pure, sweet and super tone at shear stratospheric high notes .... you may have room for two at the top of your list - AS I DO ! Also a benefit The listen will glean an introduction to the best A Capella Group there is ! GBjj
You should check out and react to David Phelps and Charolette Richie sing, Fall on your knees. It’s a David arrangement of oh holy night. Stupendous. th-cam.com/video/seMRgYiT6ak/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
@ZoeStibiVocalCoach We don't and it really is disrespectful to everything that David Phelps believes in and stands for. Please respect him and the God he sings to and for. Thank you.
Lovely breakdown of the song, but a little too much self- advertising. Just post them in the description and maybe mention them twice- not 7 times in between the song.
It is likely that fellow Christians who will watch this may comment on your language. Please understand, while some may sinfully respond to your language, pointing it out is not done in a 'holier than though' or from a position of pride. A Christian is not one who simply picks a 'religion' and tries to obey rules. Not only are those two things not anything that can save anybody, they can be even worse in the attempt to earn righteousness, which we cannot do. The Christian is the sinner, the one who knows they are wicked, who turns to the living God, our Creator, Jesus Christ, the One this song is about, for salvation. It is not fantasy, it is not 'one of many religions', it is the truth, He Is the Truth. The eternal, almighty, uncreated Son of God took on flesh, became a Man, and gave Himself to pay the ransom to rescue sinners, to take the wrath we rightly and justly deserve for the evil we have done to the infinitely good and holy God, the only God. God Himself, in His love, did what none of us could do, would do, He paid the debt we owe, He fulfilled the Law perfectly, He died in the place of sinners, and as their guilt was placed on Him and He, in His perfect love, paid it in full, He credits to those who turn to Him in faith, His Own righteousness, the very righteousness of God, so that not only are sinners forgiven, but counted righteous as they are clothed with His righteousness. We can do nothing to earn salvation, to earn forgiveness, and we have no righteousness of our own. Yet He offers it to us freely, by faith in Him. Turn to Him! So when the one who claims to be a Christian but is not, and when the one who is actually born again, saved, says something about your language or responses from pride, as a hypocrite, which is evil, then that is of course sin. But others, such as myself, attempt to comment from a place of love for you in the hopes that you will repent and believe and be saved, and in love for God, as He is pure, and we are not.
Thank you for your comment. However I am not Christian, I wish you all the best but I do not need to be saved, I'll just be happy over here doing my thing. ❤️ Merry Christmas.
@@ZoeStibiVocalCoachZoe, That comment is so sad to hear. We ALL need to be saved, unless you have NO desire for salvation. I pray you will soften your stance on this. Jesus is knocking at your door (heart), PLEASE let him enter. PLEASE, for YOUR own well being.
I don't think you need to add the colorful language. First time watching one of your reactions. Don't believe I will be watching any more of your reactions because of this. Very distasteful in my opinion. Especially while viewing a video telling of the birth of Jesus Christ.

The greatest arrangement and vocals ever recorded of this song! Thank you for reacting!!

I would love to see him live, I have just never been in the right place at the right time. I shall keep trying!!! He is amazing!

I watch his video constantly. It doesn't even have to be Christmas time!! All the Bill Gaither specials are amazing. Praising God.
I cry everything i hear David sing this. The spirit was so strong.
Absolutely hands down my favorite singer on the planet!! He could sing the alphabet and I would be moved. Humble man, unbelievable voice.
Agree with you there Mike!!! My fav male voice!
Greatly appreciate your reaction! Couple of notes…it is not his tongue that is causing those moments…he talked about this during his masterclass in NYC…he is actually just changing his vocal chord approximation.

May every viewer hearing this be blessed and truly hear the angel voices

Absolutely amazing… stunning! AND LETS NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE GENIUS OF THE PIANIST - omgggg
Excellent reaction and analysis! Can we give props to the late and legendary Anthony Burger on piano? 🙌🏼
Oh wow I didn't know!!! He was Incredible!!!
Zoe, great reaction/analysis.

Love your energy and passion for singing.
Saw David perform in July out in Houston. The guy is phenomenal.
David is amazing! He puts 150% into every single song! Please jump right down the Phelps rabbit hole and react to more of his awesomeness!
sounds like heaven
I could listen all day long!
This man is untouchable.

David is so Amazing. Whitney Houston said he was her favorite male singer. Quite a compliment ❤
Wow... Didn't know that. Is that why he sang her song?
I don’t think this song could ever be sung any better. I don’t think he could even do it again this exact way. I listen to it all year round since the day it was uploaded!!
Anthony Burger on piano. Gone way to soon. So many in this video. Have passed.
God is truly speaking to you. He loves you, my friend! Seek Him!
We can only hope she asks him into her heart and life. Sad to hear people openly admit they don't need to be saved as she has😢😢
David. Phelps. Is. Classically. Trained
I would agree the language is not necessary.
Wait for it!!
The guy behind him in the red shirt and grey jacket is Mark Lowry who wrote Mary, Did You Know?
Any pointers for subharmonics, I’m a bass , my range is E1 to C4, working on adding quality subharmonics to my toolbox.
What are subharmonics?
@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach a technique to achieve notes below normal range using the false vocal folds, the best at the is the singer Geoff Castalucci of Voiceplay.
Love this. My favourite version of this song is O Helga Natt by Tommy Johansson. It's a robust but beautiful cover. Cheers!
Obviously ur an alto. I hope u fell under conviction. Plz dont ever critique/react to this song, while throwing f bombs.
I love David Phelps and your reaction was very good! But I will not be listening to you anymore due to your inappropriate language at the beginning. It's like fingernails on a chalk board to me.
I agree. Knows music and techniques but the vulgar language is very inappropriate especially for a Christmas song. I will also not be listening to any other reactions.
That language is not appropriate. It degrades you as a person. You are much more of value than that.
Agreed. F-bombs not needed or appreciated on a reaction to a Christian hymn sung by a Christian singer.
Your profanity negates anything intelligent or meaningful you have to say.

Hi Zoe!I was wondering if you watch The voice of Australia?You should react to this years Winner Tarryn Stokes❤
Ooo would love to! I have seen a bit on TH-cam already 🥰🥰
Is it necessary to use the “F” word every ten words when you’re speaking about a song with about subject matter? Show a bit of respect.
Probably not necessary, but I got excited and I don't filter myself anymore. Where I come from it isn't as rude as in other cultures.
Well, respect is important in our culture. I would not subscribe.
@@derronwilson11 Thank you. I didn’t and I wouldn’t. There are too many other respectful reviews of my favorite singer.
@@ZoeStibiVocalCoachYou do you and the hell with them lol
His law is love. Not petty criticism of ‘bad words’ just sayin. 🖖

I know this was 9 months ago, but David can hit upwards of a F5, if not a bit higher.
Absolutely!!!
Should check out Jussi Björling or Tommy Körberg 🙏🏻 would love to hear your thoughts and reaction
I have never heard of them, would love to!
@@ZoeStibiVocalCoachomg thank you, if you doing Jussi Björling you should do O Helga Natt. And if you doing Tommy Körberg you should do Stad i Ljus 1988! Or Anthem 1984!
This was my favorite version of O Holy Night until I heard Dan Vasc's version. Different styles, but Dans voice is much more powerful and rich
Your vulgar talk made me stop listening to you....!
Fair enough
Please react to Gabriel Henrique singing "o holy night".
Oooo he would be sooo good!
You gotta react to Josh Groban's cover of " o holy night . I think its the best cover of this song
Can you please react to Billie’s version of this
Love your reaction and analysis! ONE OK ROCK, Japanese band, has a phenomenal vocalist, Taka, he covered *HELLO and Easy On Me - Adelle, he can sing it in original key* check them out!!

Where I come from we swear a lot.
@ZoeStibiVocalCoach We don't and it really is disrespectful to everything that David Phelps believes in and stands for. Please respect him and the God he sings to and for. Thank you.
Can u react “ Rona Nishliu - Suus “ 🤍
Lovely breakdown of the song, but a little too much self- advertising. Just post them in the description and maybe mention them twice- not 7 times in between the song.
Fair enough, it was more for other videos that people can watch to help them with their singing. ;) Glad you like the breakdown though ;)
