David Phelps - I Have Nothing from Stories & Songs Vol. I (Official Music Video) | Reaction 

FYI - When Whitney was alive, she saw him live and told him he was the greatest male singer she had ever heard.

David absolutely the best over the last 25 years!! He is the goat❤️

Pretty amazing that this performance is 20 yrs after his Oh Holy Night performance. I would say David doesn’t take voice for granted and is a forever student of the craft. Definitely a vocal athlete who puts in the hard work.

He's 52 and still sings at the top of his game. We saw him sing this live last summer, it's even better live.

David Phelps has that extra gear that he's about to bring it........but also the same finesse level too. He's a once in generation talent

He has a beautiful voice and I really loved his version of this song

He has a voice for God. He's a vocal minister for God.

Great voice, probably one of the greatest male voices still active in 2022.

david phelps is my favorite singer in the whole wide world!

David is the best tenor in the world. You should listen to more of his songs. He mainly sings gospel and Christian music but can sing anything. He sings O Holy Night like no other one else! I listen to him everyday. Makes me feel that I’m in Heaven!

Love Gaither Group but David Phelps is on a different level He is my fav.

He’s definitely not a Broadway Singer, although no doubt he could be. He’s dedicated his voice singing Southern Gospel. Look him up on RU-vid and the Gaither Vocal Band. He’s the BEST vocalist on planet earth.

He is trained in opera

David is 52 now....still on top of his craft

Since David is 52 I really hope he gets the recognition that voice deserves. The songs he usually have such awesome and powerful messages and are met with an equally awesome and powerful voice. I hope he’s recognized by the top singers today as he is by us. One of the best tenors/singers of all time. He should guest perform on big shows. Haha.

Just love David Phelps Absolutely Awesome,Amazing singer.There is a river that never shall run dry

Funnily enough, the first video of his you watched, you said he reminded you of Whitney!

That’s why we LOVE David Phelps!

This dude is over 50 in this video I believe. He could easily pass for 30. That is nuts. What a voice too. When the gifts were being doled out, he got his share and a couple extra.

Someone said God reaches down and kissed his throat! Hallelujah!

Loved your reaction! David arranges his music as well which makes it even more brilliant! and you are so right, that voice is God given and David has been an awesome steward of his gift and cared for it so well, preserving its beauty all these years

Wow I loved that just as much as I love the Whitney version. Whitney's songs are incredibly hard to do as I think she is one of the greatest female singers of all time, but he did that just magically, just beautiful 😍

Yes, he definitely has a voice from God!! He is classically trained and can sing any genre he chooses! He is incredible!! Another favorite of mine he does is What A Wonderful World! H writes and arranges with the same gift and talent he sings! He wrote End of the Beginning. Another huge favorite of mine! It let's you see his diversity.

David admired Whitney and Whitney admired David. The had that mutual admiration for each other. She also knocked it out of the park when she sang gospel. Can you imagine them doing a duet together? Maybe God's saving that for everyone when we're all in heaven together.

Nick . . . so glad you are getting better. Missed You! So thrilled you love our David. He has a catalogue you cannot believe. It is deep and it is wide and yes, he cannot be pigeonholed into one genre. He can sing it all . . . including one of your favorites . . . Unchained Melody . . . Theatre . . . try his Nessun Dorma, done with a pop flair, not intended as solely an operatic rendition. He's known as the King of Resonance. Blessings

Hi Nick hope you're doing better. I can't explain how happy I am to see this 'reaction' David Phelps is one of my fav singers...He mostly sings Gospel songs...Although he has recently released some contemporary songs like this one. His Gospel ones will take you to church my friend. recommend 'No More Nights. We shall behold him. End of the Beginning.....Star-Spangled Banner (with Led Zeppelins Kasmire twist) so many more lol....

I told my husband today actually, that David Phelps is up there with John Farnham in singing. My favorite of David's non gospel tunes is Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is". Just wow!!

David Phelps is extremely well known in the Gospel/Christian community. He has numerous recordings out and was classically trained. His vocals are basically flawless in any style.

He is my favorite singer of all time. God said David this is going to be your talent snd he said ok. He has nailed it and his voice is singing up to Heaven and all of us here.

😄😄😄 The pause after the high note hold was probably one of your best 😆! Nic is back baby!! Thank you for the reaction sir!

9:39 to 9:47 is absolute GOLD!!!

David graduated from Baylor University where he majored in Opera. His prof wanted him to go into opera, but her preferred to stay with gospel music. He and Whitney became friends ... or so I've read ... and they were planning on recording something together.

You’re right he has a voice from God! He’s been my favorite male voice for nearly 30 years. He’s fabulous live in concert. I hope you’ll do more reactions of him.

Great reaction! Yeah, David is incredible... hard to believe this is him at age 52. Can't wait for the next David song you do... No More Night, We Shall Behold Him, there's plenty to choose from. In any case, hope you're well on your way to being 100% again. I know it's killing you to keep from singing when you're not well. It's the pits.

Oh, I am so glad you are doing this song. I love it!

Please react to David singing “No More Night”

I highly recommend you do a reaction to "I've Just Seen Jesus" sung by David Phelps and Lana Ranahan. One of the best songs I've ever heard! The video is on the Gaither Music TV channel. I also suggest David's song, "No More Night."

I want to run back and reconcile with David. And I never dated him. 😂😂😂. He killed this.

Wow what a incredible voice he has! I actually caught myself singing with him 😅

David was trained in classical and opera growing up

David has such an amazing voice! I'm an eighties child, grew up listening to Whitney absolutely wow us with her power, her control, just her pure vocals! There was no one like her!! I refuse to put anyone on her level but I also was exposed to David's talents as a teen and even though they have different styles I'm blown away with how pure his voice and control is as well!! Whitney seemed untouchable to me but as time has gone on I've grown to appreciate the few that can sing with her and especially those that honor her with covers that are legit. David is legit folks!!

The Broadway that you say you detect is actually Opera, not Broadway. David is a Baylor University graduate (Texas) and his professors tried to persuade him to go into Opera but he felt the calling of His Lord Jesus and took the gospel route instead. He met his lovely wife Lori at University. I saw him live in concert last year just a couple of days after his birthday. A member of the audience shouted a Happy Birthday to him. He shared that he and his wife share the same birthday. He then said that he was actually born 2 hours before Lori was so that makes him the boss of the family. He then gave an impish grin, looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Lori didn't hear me say that, did she?"

Hey brother, he writes his own arrangements to some of these cover songs that's why the piano was behind his voice on the part you mentioned. And he writes many original songs. Is always I appreciate you brother

Also FLY AGAIN... IS A GREAT ONE TO.. I LOST MY BROTHER.. IT BROUGHT ME SOME PEACE..

He’s classically trained and can sing all styles. He sings opera equally as well as Broadway, pop or jazz. He picks a song and then chooses how he wants to sing it. He actually keeps getting better. Truly gifted.

David is a classically trained opera singer. The pride of Baylor University.

Beautiful

Nick! Loved your reaction to David! Please react to We Shall Behold Him No More Night, End Of the Beginning and His version of The Star Spangled Banner.

His voice is definitely a gift from GOD!!

You are amazing!! Glad you’re feeling much better!

So glad you did this reaction! 👍👍👍👍👍

Your reaction to this is priceless!! Love it! :)

As mentioned by many of the others, he has many awesome classics, but don't forget his new stuff. He writes and arranges pretty much all of his new stuff. "Hello Beautiful", "I Remember What We thought Love Was" and "Song for Sinners" are some examples. I have enjoyed your reactions for quite some time, glad you are on the mend.

You've discovered the best singer ever. Welcome!

No one is better than David and the whole world should know

Would love to see your reaction to David Phelps ft. His daughter Maggie Beth Phelps. The name is called Water. Beautiful

I heard him with the Gaither Vocal Band and he described every night's concert as doing "Vocal Gymnastics". They toured a lot.

Original key. He’s 52…

I loved Whitney, thanks David for doing her song justice.

I can imagine a duet album with So Hyang...it would be...

Whitney's voice deserved to be backed up by the best orchestras in the world. Perfect that Dave had the piano and cello. Class tribute to The Voice. The whole world should have cried when we lost her.

He does his own version but stays close true in many ways .

I've always said Whitney was a once in an era talent. I still feel that way. She had a whole other level of excellence. There are many talents in Christian music like David Phelps. Most people outside of Christian music are not aware of.

I'm glad you're feeling better. I remember a time when I was at work and had a 104.3F temp. My boss wouldn't come in early to relieve me so I had to stay for a few more hours while my tonsils got bigger and bigger. I didn't end up needing a hospital stay but it was pretty darn miserable.

I had to search for this when u watched David sing 'O Holy Night ", You said he was like a male Whitney ❤

You're killing me with your expressions and hitting the phone with your tissue 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

David is a classically trained opera singer!

The catch: it wasn't falsetto. That was his actual singing voice.

You should check out "He's Alive". It is incredible...David Phelps is Annointed!

You need to check out his HES ALIVE!!!! TENT RETRIEVAL.. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

He got the runs

To the maker of this video: are you interested in reacting to David Phelps singing this song for a second time? If yes, this time could you please do a comparison video of who sang it best between Johnny Manuel singing his cover version of I have nothing at his audition on the America's Got talent competition in 2017 vs David Phelps again also here singing his cover version of I have nothing in his official music video? In this video I would love to hear your opinion as to which of these two singers sang this song the best and why (David Phelps or Johnny Manuel) However, could you please combine the two performances together in one video and then after listening to both performances give your opinion as to which of these two singers sang this song the best and why. This should be scintillating and epic. Please give it a try.

Love it. And you so funny 🤣

@09:43. That reaction kind of says it all really.

Love him

React to Song for Sinners by David Phelps

💕

❤❤❤

You need to listen to him simg bring him home David Phelps is the man

You a Christian bro, that’s all I know! Gots to be listening to Phelps!! Again…It is well?? WILL SET YOUR SOUL FREE!!

Don't play with me David...

Right?!

Ahhh. Can’t wait to hear you sing. Never thought I would hear a male sing that song and make me love it as much as Whitney version

Wasnt the key change magical?

Same key that Whitney used

Whitney Houston, is the 🐐...

This guy talks too much. He should have waited until after the guy finished the song before he critiqued it.🤫

Can’t help it, I still like Angelina’s version better!
