David Phelps - O Mio Babbino Caro [Live] 

For those who criticize this performance, realize that David has the know-how, AND the capability of singing this with a pure operatic fashion, but chooses not to. David appreciates the use of straight tone (as do I, I absolutely love straight tone especially in higher notes) and sprinkles it in accordingly. Everything you hear in this performance is a deliberate choice of his, and I’m a fan of each and every choice he makes. Stunning performance. World class

Had never heard it in a tenor voice, that was awesome. Perfect pianissimo, crescendo and forte at the notes.

I am a opera Singer too, I never heard someone Sing this soo gracefully

first time i hear male voice singing this. I am now a fan.

Not just one in a million... He is one in a billion talent... God given talent... What a privilege to have this kind of vocal ability... To God be the glory!

When God gives you a gift like David Phelps, just sit back listen and let it pierce your soul

...the best male voice singing this wonderful piece....! Chapeau, Mr. Phelps!

I can't even right now. I'm crying because this was so beautiful. Bravo, Bravo! 😍❤️ First time hearing a man sing this song and can I say it was phenomenal.

I know what this aria is about and yes, a guy is singing it, and for all of you getting hung up over it, there is nothing wrong with a man singing a song about a girl begging her father to let her marry someone. Just appreciate the song for what it is and the singer for doing an amazing job singing it.

The way he crescendos from pure head voice to full voice is so flawless. That's incredibly difficult to get down.

I knew David Phelps can sing, But NOT LIKE THIS. This is amazing! I recently went to see Josh Groban, and it was good as he has a good range. David Phelps is truly talented as he can sing different genres and styles. God has richly blessed him vocally. I hope he makes more solo albums.

DUDE....IN A DAMN GOOD WAY! Believe me that was a stratospheric praise. He killed it!

OMG.. no words!! I can't explain to myself how is possible to have such a voice.. SIMPLY THE PERFECTION!

Everybody's a critic. Can't we just enjoy David's magnificent voice! He never said he was an opera singer. Actually Bill Gaither wanted him to sing this aria so David obliged. I'd love to hear an opera singer sing some gospel classics and then we can compare them to David.

How did I just found this video after 6 years looking for this song. I have been listening to some opera song but this man, he is really reach the 'angelic voice'. Too perfect yet too graceful

2024 y esta versión sigue siendo de mis favoritas... Excelente voz de Phelps!!

Just love the way he can sing anything he puts his mind to - just shows the quality of his God given anointed voice - love him singing this song! So beautiful!

Hace lo que quiere.. y supera a todos en sus géneros especificos. No hay nadie igual a David

What a singer this man is. Hits high and low notes with so much ease.

he sings it so softly! women often sound a bit too harsh but this one sounds like a lullaby... i think i'm in love.

Beautiful DAVID. He can sing anything and bring tears. ONLY DAVID PHELPS.

Never get tired of listening to David Phelps. He never fails to sing it. right from the heart.

His control is SICK

The note at 0:18 gives me chills every single time. Amazinggg.

David jestem zachwycony twoim wspaniałym glosem piekne pianisimo brawo.

David live is better than 99.9% can do in a studio with auto tune

Am I'm the only one noticing that this man doesn't have a register break between his head voice and his belting? Wow I can't do that.

Me fascinó su timbre de voz, y como fusiona ese estilo Lírico con uno más libre, sin perder el equilibrio, para mi sonó grandioso! ... Ya comencé a seguirlo en spotify

David is the best tenor i ever heard.

David Phelps, simply amanzing.....Brazil are praying for you!!!!!!!!

The voice itself is amazingly beautiful, the transition from low notes to high is incredible... one of the best voices I've ever heard... thanks so much!!! And well done!!!

Que bueno.

So good, I’ll love it🥂

David does this SO BEAUTIFULLY!!!

I'm from Perú. Since I´ve heard this song "O Mio Babbino Caro", I've practiced every time trying to sing like the same original singer. But always I have heard that men sang like a woman. This is the first time I heard to a man sing with voice of "man" and not like woman =) ok, I must say that he is my inspiration, the second one. =) DAVID PHELPS, YOU SING REALLY WELL!!! =)

David your voice is everything❤

I can't think of a more beautiful rendition of this glorious aria

Wow wow wow. Fantastic...never knew David could sing an opera

Amazing voice

O mio babbino caro Mi piace è bello, bello Vo' andare in Porta Rossa A comperar l'anello Sì, sì, ci voglio andare E se l'amassi indarno Andrei sul Ponte Vecchio Ma per buttarmi in Arno Mi struggo e mi tormento O Dio, vorrei morir Babbo, pietà, pietà Babbo, pietà, pietà

I am absolutely blown away. Well done.

Bravissimo!

BEAUTIFUL JOB BY PHELPS

He has the most beautiful voice.. God bless him.

Utterly ruined it for me. I will never be able to listen to another version! THIS IS PERFECTION! *crying*

Absolutely beautiful!

That was beautiful!👏👏👏 I would like to hear you sing more opera. I wanted to tell anyone reading this something really important. One day we are all going to stand before God. If you have ever lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain (omg) which is called blasphemy , hated someone (which God consideres murder) or done other things that are against His law ( the Ten Commandments), He sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, murderer. He will judge us, and because we have all broken His law, we ALL deserve hell. But because He loves us, He became a human about two thousand years ago, lived without sinning, and died a terrible death He didn’t deserve because of us. Three days later He rose from the dead and one day He is coming back. We all deserve the ultimate punishment (hell). But God loves us so much that He took the punishment on Himself. We broke Gods law, Jesus paid the fine. If you repent from your sins ( sincerely apologize for breaking His law and turn away from doing it anymore) and trust in Him and Him only, your punishment will be paid for, you will get eternal life in heaven, and you will no longer go to hell. I’m not telling you this to judge you. The thought of you going to hell terrifies me. I don’t want anyone to go without hearing this wonderful news. Thank you whoever took the time to read this. If you have a Bible, I suggest you read the book of John. You can find many Bible apps on devices. I pray that you and everyone who reads this will think about this seriously. And I hope to see you in heaven. Go to NeedGod.com for a video version of what I just talked about. Check out livingwaters RU-vid channel and livingwaters.com and also fullyfreefilms.com for a movie called Exit that deals with depression and suicide.

Praise the Lord !!!

That was stunning! I don't care if he sings in opera style or not, but I had goosebump and that's what all matters.

i love o mio babbino caro.

This song was played at my nanas funeral. I can’t stop crying when I listen to it.

Amazing voice.

meu irmão em Cristo. que Deus o abençoe poderosamente.

Maravilhoso! Impecável!

I feel like there is a little nod to the countertenor style in how he approaches the high note in head voice and then mixes. Also the “ah” in Dia.

Bellisima!!!

the most amazing performance...!!!

Bravo👏👏👏

Todo sentimento nesta canção. ❤️

LOVE THIS

Magnifico 🙏🙏🙏

Que linda vooz :-)

Simplesmente maravilhoso!
