Dan Vasc - "Fairy Tale" (Shaman Cover) YOUNGER VS OLDER TRANSFORMATION | FIRST REACTION! 

I think the “polish “ you’re referring to is the confidence, the maturity, the IT , the WOW that Dan developed as he matured. ❤

I've heard Dan say more than once that he hates when people refer to him as talented but I think he takes that in the context that people don't appreciate the amount of hard work he's put into getting where he is. That he somehow is just good at it without having to work at it. I think he is most definitely talented but for me that means he was born with a set a of tools that most of us didn't get. He's taken those tools and continued to work to perfect his craft. The younger Dan, older Dan comparison is a perfect example of that work. I would bet if he did this song again today, it would be even better because the older version is from 5 years ago. He has also worked hard at building himself up physically. He doesn't just work out, he studies body building techniques. Seeing him now, versus these older videos, you can see it.

Dan has always had a beautiful voice. I have followed him for about five years now. In my opinion, what has improved the most, is the quality of his videos. He has become a master of layering his voice, facial expressions and adding the emotion needed for every song. He also chooses other artists he collaborates with who are also exceptional. He puts everything he has into his videos so that they are not only beautiful to listen to, but are so enjoyable to watch. His talent for making his videos is just amazing. He does it all. He records from a room in his home, then video tapes in his garage. Apparently, he has only one camera, so he has to sing the same song a minimum of three times, with different camera angles. Then he has to match up all the angles into one video. Dan has mentioned, that he has a hard time letting someone else help him, he wants complete control. Just recently, he hired someone to do the mastering. He said it took him some time to find someone he could trust! Thanks for another great reaction to Dan!

Dan leaves his older videos so we can appreciate his evolution and effort. Thanks for the comparison!

I love that Dan leaves all of his old videos up so we can go back in time and see how far he has come. You can see his growth in his equipment, vocal talent and even in body and hair. It is interesting to see how much he has grown.

There was plenty of "promise" in Dan's earlier videos. He himself calls them "cringe" and "they suck". Personally, I don't think that at all but he keeps them up, not only to show his progression but also to encourage "up and coming" singers. He offers a lot of advice to these people in some of his podcasts throughout the years. I think Dan has become a magnificent singer/performer and deserves all the fame he can get for all his hard work. Thankyou and looking forward to more Dan reactions😃

The difference between the two videos for me is Dan's older, fuller voice and the video's current better production. At that time, Dan was learning how to produce and studying more to be better. The voice only differs with maturity, but he brilliantly sang this song, which is one of Andre's most difficult, because he also sang the notes in different tones in his songs. It's not just anyone who can interpret his songs. Andre was a musical genius, as well as an excellent singer. He was a great conductor who composed and also played several instruments. I've been following Dan for 10 years and I've loved him ever since, and I've only seen him mature professionally in his singing and in the production of his videos. tks

Thank you for your reaction to Dan. This cover shows Dan's great development over the years. Not only the vocals but also the equipment and his mixing and mastering. His voice was already good 12 years ago, but today it's phenomenal. He recorded a video for his 100th cover in 2018, "Go the Distance", in which he shows his 1st cover from 2010 to the 99th cover in 2018 (not all of them, of course). Very emotional, but beautiful.

Thank you for your continued support and wonderful reaction to these 2 covers by Dan. What a development from a young, talented man to a special singer and artist through hard work, discipline and perseverance. There were certainly many ups and downs. He has reached his goal of 1 million subscribers. I'm excited about what's to come.

I love that Dan leaves earlier videos up so that we can share in his growth. Inspiration for all!! 🎶❤️

Thanks for your reaction! Baby Dan was a great singer even back then, but wow how much better is he 6 years later and even now! I love this song by Shaman and Dan does Andre Matos proud!

Dan's "just do it" approach is such an inspiration! He has often mentioned that if we wait until e v e r y t h I n g is perfect, we'll never gettir done. I ran across a young boy singing along with Dan's Amazing Grace. He had a hearts desire, which is the 1st small step. I've also seen a grown man attempt Dan's Amazing Grace in church. I'm sure there's more. Desire, lessons, more desire that puts learned skills to good use, etc, ...long before the gadgets become a must have. Dan's the man! I really enjoyed that you played both renditions Dan did. 1st try & more recent one. What a wonderful way to show the importance of what Dan himself shares with us. Thank you for sharing!

Zack Wow what a great and deserving reaction for Dan. I love that he has saved and encourages anyone to go back in time to his beginning. His "Go the Distance " video to Michael Boltons song is a great montage of photo's. He documents pics of his Journey and has the year and song posted to the left of the screen that changes from then to now. I truly appreciate your Critiques. Dan is a wonderful young man and has a great personality. As you said his talent isn't just in his voice it's his expression, emotion and humility. Keep going he has so much to share ❣️👍 Thank you I've subscribed ! Sending blessings , 72 yr old Noni Grandma of 2⚘️

After listening to younger Dan and now Dan - I have to say I truly appreciate the gravel and grit in the more mature voice. 😊

Thanks for viewing both. He certainly had the voice back then. Love his facial and hand expressions that he has added to his videos.

Thank you so much for this Dan two-fer! Dan has come far ... so very far. He truly is the best vocalist I've heard ... ever! 😊

Enjoyed your reaction. It's always fun when Dan redoes an earlier video and we can fully compare the progression in his vocal techniques and quality. Simply fantastic. In his older videos he almost always listed himself as Daniel Vasconcelos. I think this one is the only one I've seen where the screen showed Daniel Andrade instead of Vasconcelos. But that's because his full name is actually Daniel Vasconcelos Pereira De Andrade

Thanks for your double reaction and comments,like this a lot 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

Thank you for your fine reaction! 😊 It is a joy to be a witness of Dan’s growth, from raw talent to what he is now.

I hadn’t seen these. Thanks for the comparison! Thanks Linda for the recommendation! LOVE everything I have heard Dan do!💜💜💜

So nice to see the contrast between the two versions of this song from Dan. Definitely an improvement in the newer one, but as you said he showed promise in the earlier rendition. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. : )

So right away, you see one reason for a secondary recording, some years later. 😀 As he goes on, and the music keeps overwhelming him a bit, and I see and feel him tense up, I want to breathe for him. As you said, his "toolshed" is there, but there are so many changes he will be making over the years, with his surroundings (as you also mentioned), AND with his vocal training. There's also his confidence involved. One thing that I love about the first one (other than the innocence and perseverance) is his actual realization of the song's meaning and feelings. GREAT JOB reacting to the first one. I figured pretty much where you would go with that, and I love it! I'm REALLY excited to hear the next part, and I'm glad you connected them. - - - - - - - - - - One of the first things I noticed in the newer one, because I had seen a LOT of his newer videos that have come after that, before checking this one out, is that he still didn't have his red microphone. Still...that gray one was WAY better than his original set-up, so...yeah...as you said...being able to upgrade equipment, etc. (like his new garage studio for the background, at that time)...BIG improvement, right there. Yes! Night and day with the vocals. Well-said, regarding the breath-control and everything else about his technique. I love it so much...and I don't have to "breathe for him" any longer! 😀 Refinement...YES! Then comes the GRIT, with that facial expression, and the emotions just POURING out. Oh, my word! When I watched this version, I had already printed the lyrics for myself (and I kept them for future reference, because I LOVE the song). That was when I realized that at that point, he had gone over into singing AS the grieving "fairy lady," rather than ABOUT her plight, and it's when I began to cry. I can't help it. I'm still right there...just as he intended with that change. It makes me hurt for that woman, no end, and appreciate Dan's vocal and role-playing abilities all the more. Listening to even later songs (like the Phantom songs he has done) just totally blows my heart away, now. I think, perhaps, that the song (sung the way he does it) gets to me SO much, because of that full understanding, because of my dad passing away when he was only 54 years old. It was when I realized that I can still hold all the love and old memories in my heart, for my wonderful "Daddy," that I was able to get on with life without the bitterness that I felt at first, for his early departure. That's what I feel from this song. - - - - - - - - - - As for something that I can do better than I could six/seven years ago, it's being able to SING again, after about 12 years of hardly being able to sing at all, when that was all I EVER wanted to do (it was all I had ever DONE, other than get straight A grades in school -- grin). As well as having had surgery/hip replacements for both legs (in 2017), and now having excellent medication that catches any stray joint inflammation almost immediately, and vanquishes it, I now have Dan to listen to, since a few days after he released "Amazing Grace" on April 7, 2023. I've gone to the very bottom of his channel and carefully watched his progression (like in these two versions of the same song, etc.) and gotten back a lot of my own muscle memory and breath control from watching carefully and imitating his methods. Now, just over a year later, I'm only a few notes away from getting back to my previous nearly 6-octave range, with my tonal quality mending more and more every day. I also have Dan's e-book "Healthy Voice" that was sent to me when I registered on his website, and it has been a HUGE part of that recovery, as well. Anyone can get that, for free, by e-mail, by the way, from that site. All you have to do is register. YOU DID A GREAT DOUBLE REACTION, Zack. Thank you HUGELY. You have blessed me no end. Also...you don't NEED to get better looking. As a very happily married woman (coming up on our 41st anniversary), a 74-year-old mom, grandma, and great-grandma, I can say this without being called a "cougar." You're a fine-looking man, with great intelligence, and a great personality. Keep up that presence, and you'll never go wrong. 😀

The voice was already very good, but the courage was missing. Nice example of growth 🤘♥️

He was real good but six years later was wonderful.

Sounds like the old Robin Hood movies and movies about knights jousting etc. Lute and flute music. Love Dan's voice. His videos have come a long way, such a gifted singer and technician..😊

Thank you for these two videos of Dan and seeing the comparison. It was actually a real treat to watch this morning for me.

"Certainly not better looking" Who says? Thanks for a great reactionb❤

Dan did a tribute to Andre matos when he died with the angra song "carry on" it's awesome.

Enjoyed your reaction. I think a lot of what we were hearing is the maturation of a voice that comes with education and age. Dan has invested a lot of time and effort into his career. He is so multi-talented and loves his singing so much that it shows whenever he does a cover. I am always fascinated by his younger version vs his more current versions. You can really get a great appreciation for all his energy and hard work, as well as the apparent love of his craft. Thanks for featuring this one.

Thank you! It's nice that you did both in one reaction. The comparison is fresh.

Your audio was fine thanks. This was so cool. Love what you do with your reactions. Dan and his voice have matured georgously🔥💫💥

Dan's metal version of "America's National Anthem " is Incredible ! Quite honestly it's perfect for sports events 🇺🇲 However you must watch Dan's "Apology video " "Right"! ! after the National Anthem !! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Awesome Reaction!! Thank You So Much for this “Younger vs Older”, DV cover!! Yes, Gotta Love the DV “Stank Face”!! 🥰🙏🏻❤️🎙🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Obviously Dan is a perfectionist. He’s good here but becomes magnificent down the road. No one could ever say he’s he fits in with the ordinary. He is an artist to behold! Magnifico!

This was an awsome reaction. I really like the back to back comparison format! Thanks so much!

Awesome. Love Dan. ❤❤❤. Thx.😊

The God-given gifts need to be worked on to emerge and DV did the hard yards to even reach the older version of this song. There is an even older video of his singing (not this song), which is quite raw (although you can see the future in it).

I really enjoyed your take on theses two videos Young Dan had so much emotion in his voice. 6 year older Dan had it too, this video was a very important and wonderful showcase of Dan at both ages.

Nice reaction. Dan worked very hard for 10 years training his voice. It matured yes, but the change is more than that. He is much more powerful. It is a lot more than just

This double review is the best Dan Vasc reaction I have seen. Very cool idea, and very insightful.

Awesome double reaction, you highlighted things I hadn’t noticed before. Oh, btw, you have a strong and beautiful voice, pleasant to the ears. After watching some of your reactions to Dan I finally subscribed today, you have done a great job regarding Dan’s renditions. Thank you😍

Loved the comparison video. It is fun to see a very young Dan matrue into a more polisged Dan. Hav ing a better background certainly helped.

Oh yes, Thank you fir this reaction. It was fun to compare the two versions.

Huge Dan Vasc fan here and the first time I heard this cover I was blown away. It has become one of my favorite Dan covers. With that said, we all know that no one can ever replace a lead singer of any band and sound the same. However, if you listen to the Shaman video of this song, Dan would actually be a great replacement for our beloved Andre Matos (RIP). I hate saying replacement since Andre has passed away but I think you know what I mean. Hail VascNation ❤Yes, I know Dan wouldn’t do that since he has his own band.

I like videos like this that show beginning Dan and then more experienced Dan. I sm an artist and the lesson is clear. Beginners have to go through the beginner phaze and work hard, eventually you will get better]. It is so hard to realize that it may quiteca while until you learn enough to make the art the way you see it in your mind.

Dan’s mother was an opera singer. He’s had 10 years of voice training including classical training. I think some of that training may have taken place between the two videos.

He redid this song

I notice Dan didn't use pitch correction in the early video. Impressive pitch control.

Loved this comparison

This was fun, to compare young Dan to an older , mor polished Dan. I like this song. Ater I heard it the fircthecfirstvtime, it pladed in my head for several days, and I didn’t remember what it was called. Finally found it again. The melody and tho high passages are beautiful in their own way. The now current Dan, is creating a new persona and his videos are becoming more creative and are very stunning. ap

Like a fine wine he gets better with age. ❤❤❤❤❤

Wonderful reaction. Thank you ❤

The beginning latin blessing sounded like he was going for a Gregorian chant quality.

That explanation was gerat😂😂😂

A person who would be perfect singing Fairy Tale is Dimash Qudaibergen.
