Exactly. And I feel like that’s why a lot of great male vocalists don’t get a lot of recognition. They’re voices are great, but they either don’t have good songs or their songs just aren’t too popular.
Authenticity is very important to David. He makes the music he wants to make, not what is currently popular or what record producers want. He is an independent artist. A wonderful composer and amazing arranger. I’m glad he is able to make a living doing what he is gifted to do, not dependent on those who would squash his creativity.
@@lordvoldemort5725 David Phelps has a lot of great songs. He’s however a gospel singer so it is not an area that will be for everyone’s taste. Most gospel fans would recognise a good portion of his material.
In David Phelp’s performance of “Just as I am” he reaches down to a low E2, and even reaches it in the live performances, going on to hit the high C#5 just a minute and a half later. He’s not a bass by any means but his low register is very impressive. Best tenor in the world in my opinion🔥
@@allykelly ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fCbRQWi-axE.html The E2 is a 0:45. I believe it is a chest note, but it is very airy so it could be a fry-mix kind of note
@@matttrammell1808 i see but some people say that he has an excellent lows so i wonder about him having nice and projected lows below C3 maybe u know them
@@allykelly The best projected lows I have heard from him were the A2s you mentioned in the video, I think this E2 is well projected for a tenor but he is not a bass, anything below A2 is not going to sound as full as a bass could make it.
He's an amazing vocal king hands down! 💖Whitney Houston is the queen of belting to me and David Phelps is the king of belting to me. I would add the mixed voice he uses above Eb5 but great video nevertheless AK ❤
I’m not sure where the idea that David mostly belts comes from. That would be both unsustainable and unenjoyable. Here are three songs of his in which there is little or no belting, “Can’t Help Falling in Love “ (Elvis) Two of his own compositions, “One King” “If Christmas Never Came” All very beautiful in my opinion.
@@Tzuyuuu. You should check out his Almaty concert on his channel, he is very different on concerts, I get what you say of that and what happens is that his most popular songs are always the ones with the most technical stuff and his arrangements aren’t everyone’s cup of tea.
He is truly one of the best, but for me the most virtuous and with extreme perfect and natural command of the vocal mechanism were Ronnie James Dio and the lyrical singers Franco Corelli and Jussi Bijörling, great video and you could make a video about one these singers, which were actually very consistent live.
Between Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber and Sam Smith who is better? also what is their supported range? As far as I know any of them are incredible vocalist but I want to know
I would have to say Bruno>Justin>Sam. Lots of bad habits in this group though. Sam SHOULD be the best but has the most risky and unhealthy technique that would disqualify anyone from being a benchmark imo. Bruno - Chain smokes and chest drags.. seemingly on purpose. Sam - Sings wayyyy too mixy and is dangerously shrill with glottal attack on the high notes.. and pretty much every vowel lol. Sam doesn't open the mouth nearly enough and is way too breathy which is a huge no no. What kills me is that I'm 100% certain Sam has been repeated warned of all of this by professionals. Justin - I think has the most potential because he doesn't do anything inherently unhealthy, but he never seems to attempt anything difficult or even sing in the tenor range for that matter. It is actually strange that he keys his songs in the baritone range at stops abruptly at G4 despite obviously having a high voice.
I think that if we compare him to dimach, then he doesn't have dimach's head voice or the low notes, on the other hand it seems to me that he has more support in his natural chest voice, he goes higher dimch will start mixing more down i think
@@allykelly dayummm... Can't wait for jailen... After u post abt top underrated young vocalist... I always wanted to know more abt her techniques.... OMG I CAN'T WAIT 💅💅💅
5:00 i don’t agree 😭 even tho in classical music, male vocalists aren’t that required to sing in headvoice/falsetto, it’s still a good asset to have a full, connected headvoice
Umm u dont get my point i said there's just nothing much to worry about male vocalists having less developed hv even tho it'd be much better if he had one
@@ID_G649 From the admittedly little I've seen of Ki Young I'd say the consistent tops of her chest/mixed range is at likely B5/C6. Her head voice on the other hand is probably D6 or even Eb6. In a performance in 2023 (i think) she managed to hit a G6 in mixed voice.
His biggest weakness compared to other male vocal powerhouses is probably his lack of well-roundedness (as compared to other one of the best male vocalists) as his vocal style mainly focuses on belting unlike avery wilson for example, he may not be as good as david phelps when it comes to belting or vocal dynamics, but he is above average in everything (especially vocal agility) and doesn't have a weak or underdeveloped register... However, his biggest strength still makes up his biggest weakness by being the best and definitely the most unbeatable male vocalist in belting... I'm not saying David Phelps is bad (he is actually far from being a bad vocalist), I'm just saying that despite his lack of well-roundedness, he's excellent when it comes to belting... However, I still prefer vocalists who excel or are above average in almost every part of their voice or technique
This was actually a very fair comment. I was scanning the comments because I believe I have a similar voice type (nowhere near the skill obviously) but I can definitely hear that David's more concerned with presenting his style at the highest quality possible, rather than being a party trick singer.
@@KajiVocals what does rossini tenor mean? Is it a lighter tenor or a heavier tenor Do you think it's right to label non classical vocalists as light, medium or low soprano/tenor instead of using classical terms (light lyric, Full lyric, spinto dramatic etc)
@@blinkot4181 Rossini tenor is a tenor specialising in Rossini repertoire. It is generally however not only a lighter tenor but a high tenor. Sometimes you’d hear the term leggero tenor. David’s voice is undoubtedly exactly that. I’ve studied his voice for 6 years now very extensively and I keep getting proven more and more right on this front. David’s head register and lower register are not actually particularly underdeveloped either. They are just underused or used in a stylistic form. But low range wise, he has showcases to produce a clean C2 in studio and a non-airy E2 live (quite often too). He is fairly consistent down to A2.
@@KajiVocals any thoughts on her ? Her name is Solji. She's from a k-pop group named EXID ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c4NwsnNWJ6s.html Do you think she can be considered as a spinto soprano if trained classically ? It's kinda weird because her voice is only been labelled as "full lyric Soprano" in KVA blog . But she sounds more heavier than claimed full lyrics like sohyang, Celine Dion etc.
Is he good to great level or great level? His mix and agility are amazing, but head is quite underdeveloped and lows are kinda barely above average. Also, if his consistent range becomes soprano, then F3 - F#5/G5 right?
@@allykelly what i meant was it isn't impossible for a male vocalist to be fully consistent with E5 correct? I wasn't specifically talking about david I was just wondering would it be possible for a male vocalist to be consistent with E5
