Amazing performance by young Estonian businessman! This Deep Purple's song is really hard to sing. Watch also full version of the Child in Time by Madis Arro: • Child In Time - A Trib...
amned do not stop man! this is amazing! those notes, soo clear, not even 1 false note! This song is so difficult to sing, especially on that hight. AMAZING! respect!
beautiful! A disgrace that people disliked him. I grew up with rock n roll music, from Elvis Presley, Beatles, Deep purple, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Tool, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and i loved his interpretation
it's not one of the hardest Rock songs ever sung. It's the hardest song to sing especially with the passion that Ian Sang it with. It's methodical beautiful and I enjoyed this because the song no pun intended Timeless.
Those high notes are pure magic. Dude, I just have one thing to say, the pure emotive and feels injected into the voice makes it perfect for something like Lord of the Rings.
Yeah, he didn't seem to get (or just ignored) the blues influence in the song; plus the fact that it's a requiem for the teenaged soldiers in wars like Vietnam or Korea. (I think his notes are higher than Gillan's, though, so, there's that.)
Great job! He converted the song to his own voice, wonderful performance, by the way, listening to Estonian to me is like listening to my own language (Hungarian), but not understanding a word, astonishing that you can still hear the similarity between the languages, although these nations have lived seperately for thousands of years
To his credit, it's an interesting take on the song. I respect that he chose a song that wouldn't normally be sung on a show like this, because it's not really pop. So for him, it worked. Great vocally, but doesn't capture the essence of the song, and frankly that's hard to do even when you're not being judged for your talent.
it's really good performance and the fact that he is singing this song makes it better, tell me how many ppl did this song in BGT ,AGT, wherever, i like it and im not estonian.. just recognize the talent
Fine song choice, fine singing, not powerless! Suits to the lonely piano. Don,t forget that here not a hard rock band is the back accompanyment. And the most important: nowadays youngsters appreciate HQ rock! Greetings from Hungary: a Blackmore fan (melodydrummer who likes this hit so much, that has arranged solely on drums:)
Oh, people in Eastern Europe know about British Rock a lot. I am from Georgia and everybody there knows Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Beatles and so on... The same is in other countries. Even this music was prohibited in USSR, people there knew it very well. And today I think more people there still listen of these old bands compared to England or USA.
Beautiful, I love it. For those that said he should've belted it, what do you think the audience would've liked more? A guy trying to belt it out with super power, or a guy who can elegantly hit the notes to match the piano's soft sound? Morons.
I agree! Belting may be popular today(and 8 years ago), but it's not always the best way to sing certain songs. In a soft song, he should def. sing with his head voice here because that's more fitting for the atmosphere.
I mean copying it's easy, being original it's what makes it special, I do like more rough and belting but he did it his own way and that's why I liked more
Scroll back and look the first comments. There is translateing of the most important comment: After performance said the judge Mihkel Raud: Madis, I had been never in my life - I mean, in my life I had - but never in Estonia - to heard someone (a man) to sing so high! Arro: Thank You! Raud: It was extreamly high! Arro: Yes, it was. Raud: But what is more important, it sounded to me a clean singing also! You did'nt mistake! That was a fenomenal, Madis!
Glad eastern europe knows about british rock and roll. Our rock music is the greatest obviously and its nice to know its appreciated in non english speaking nations.
@pawelovlov Thank You! Same words from my point of view - every time when I listen Hungarian language, it sounds very familiar to me. I feel like... any moment I understand it... and then... this moment just slip away... Our languages is related, after all - 1000 years or not but I guess that there is always something common - in deeper level - between our nations:)
All you people can cut this young man down but you should admire him for undertaking one of the most challenging songs to attempt. Is it even close to Ian Gillian' voice on Made in Japan? No it's not close but he didn't try to out gun Ian because that recording on Made in Japan is exactly the way it was performed and not dubbed or changed in anyway and that is one of the reason Made in Japan is the best live album of all times. So expecting this young man to sing like Ian is like waiting for lightening to strike in the same place twice.
You're fully right... Big nations hold back behind their (wrong) feeling of superiority, from an Esti friend, I leearned that most of You manage easily tree and more tongues. I find that fantastic as it's an open goor to the World. We have something like that too in Belgium, wich is also a "so small" coutry.
Wow, I think he would be able to do a nice cover of Ectasy of Gold, might fit even better to his voice. But very good adaption of this rock classic, enjoyed it!
Anyone with a prob with the vocals obviously didn't know the song,hard as hell to get even close...I give him credit for tryin such a rough song with an audience none the less
@Lewi008 Thank You! People in Estonia (or in Estland) had always known about british rock and roll but does british people know anything about our singing traditions? For example about the biggest national Song Festival in the world, which take place since 1869, after every five year?:)
@pawelovlov That is a bit sad to hear, because most of Estonians knows very well that we and Magyar people are related. Actually our children learn that fact also in school - when I remember correctly, it was in 5th grade. Our teachers telling about it in History class and also in Literatur lesson.
