FIRST TIME LISTEN | Upchurch "If I Can Dream" (OFFICIAL RENDITION VIDEO) | REACTION!!!!! 

Upchurch is the ELVIS of my Generation ❤️

I think Upchurch did a great job. And yes I am an Elvis fan. Elvis is Elvis and Upchurch is Upchurch. ❤

I think Elvis would have felt honored that he sang this great song.

Love the Upchurch rendition. Thanks for the reaction. ✌🏼💙

Ray you seem like an amazing human being. I pray that all your dreams come true

Love it, thank you upchurch, and thank you Ray...I needed this, I find myself trying to sing it too😅🤣😅

Best reaction of all time...... you are the goat Uncle

All due respect to Upchurch, especially showing respect to Elvis. It's like night and day though. It's scary what Elvis brought to the table. PEACE!

Proud you man. Moving up in the world! Awesome 🎉🎉🎉

This is probably the best reaction I've ever seen, Amazing energy and passed the vibe check. Keep up the great work my man

Elvis sang the paint off the wall with this song with so much passion!!!! It can’t be touched! But we still need this message today!

Elvis is one of Church’s all time favorite artists!! I didn’t know you wasn’t aware of this song, Church did an outstanding job on this song, #creeksquad

Too often these days people only want to tear each other down, rather than build each other up, & for some reason it seems that everyone believes that if they are fans of one artist, it's that artist vs every one else, & they have absolutely no desire whatsoever to expand their horizons by exploring other artists who could truly add things to their lives, the same way their favorite artist does. There is room for every artist to thrive, & enjoying other genres or artists DOES NOT NEGATE your loyalty or love of your favorite artist or their artistry, it simply means that you love MUSIC, NOT JUST ONE GENRE OF IT, because MUSIC SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL, WHETHER ITS HAPPY, SAD, HYPED, REFLECTIVE, WHIMSICAL, EXCITED, AS LONG AS ITS MAKING YOU FEEL SOMETHING, then that artist has SUCCEEDED in achieving the most important single aspect of what DEFINES A TRUE ARTIST. & at the end of the day that's truly all that really matters. On a different subject tho Ray hows Shawna doing? Not had an update for a while, at least not one that I've seen at least. She is in our prayers, as are you & your loved ones. ALWAYS KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING, expanding people's points of views of things that they might not have any exposure to otherwise, because in that simple act, people can develop respect, empathy, compassion, understanding, of others beliefs, culture, morals, life experiences, & help to teach people to BUILD EACH OTHER UP, ROOT for each other, create a more kind, inclusive, compassionate world, and be able to live together without conflict.

creeksquad!

Like my mama said-- I'LL TRY ANYTHING ONCE AND TWICE IF I LIKE IT.. WELL I'M GOING BACK TO MY BOY. BUT PROPS TO HIM FOR SINGING AND SENDING HIS MESSAGE OUT.. LETS ALL PLAY NICE. LOVE THE CONVERSATION ❤

This ole boy makes me even more prouder than I already am as a Tennessean bygod! So damn versatile and will always be a legend to us Nashville boys!

Ray, I hope everything works out for you. You deserve it. You are one of the realist on the tube. I just think Upchurch attempting this song was a win. There will never be another Elvis, but he did a good job.

I wish you luck with the sponsorship!! Get It, Bro!!😎😎

I saw Elvis last night and he approves of this. #creeksquad 🤘 upchurch is always paying homage to the legends. And hell yeah man hope the shit works out for you bro

I seriously do not know why you haven’t already got over 1 million subscribers, you are the best reactor on RU-vid.!! We ❤ you Ray !! #creeksquad

Congratulations Ryan! You did Elvis proud Tennessee boy! Proud of you 👍

The greatest of our generation

Ryan Upchurch -"Vinyl" 👍

That's great news brotha! I know you deserve it!! Happy to be here along the way!!! I told you 5 milly here we come!!!! Lol

There's no such thing as too much Ray!Great reaction as usual.i love Elvis and Ryan both ❤️

Ray, you know my love for Elvis, but Upchurch's respect and admiration for the King in this video is obvious and beautiful and I believe this is how Johnny Cash might have sung it (he and Elvis imitated each other on occasion for laughs). As for your sponsorship, I will send all the positive "Vibes" If you need a lawyer to review the deal, I offer my services free of charge...that is how much I support you!

It may be elvis. Singing elvis. Disguised as The Upchurch 😂😮😅

A sponsorship is huge!! That's so exciting and you deserve it! Keep moving on up and vibe on! 😁

Ray my guy, did you say “harumph” 😂😂😂 you kill me bro. Prayers on the sponsor you truly deserve it. Upchurch 🔥, you bleed Elvis heritage and represent him well .

This reminded me of johnny cash for some reason. But sorry Ray, I couldn’t make it thru The Whole song. I’m SOOOOO happy for your potential good fortune. And. NOT surprised at all !!!

It's charming in an out of tune way but every time i hear other people singing songs associated with EP it reminds me why i love Elvis so much and how great his voice was.

Yeah man you deserve that opportunity. Whoever your sponsor is.... If they are are looking for sharp wit and dedication, a sense of humor and star quality with a caring touch --- you da man.

Great that Upchurch did this. He's said he's an Elvis fan.

Hope it works out dude!

Try his rock now Ray songs DIRTY SOUTH or POND CREAK ROAD

I like this a lot --- I mean it can't touch Elvis’ version... But I love the vibe and it means a lot that Elvis’ dream sees another generation. I give major kudos to upchurch for crossing over from rap to rock - respect!

If you like this then You need to check out Upchurchs Vinyl

You should check out dirty Elvis by Upchurch

Awesome reaction!!!❤️🔥🔥🔥 Hard to sing an Elvis song but still damn good!!

So Cool he did the song. Everybody should. But really? … Not. Even. Close.

Upchurch broadway girls

Curch has a ton of singing songs. His version of alice in chains "Nutshell" is fire. Plus his country music is dope af too

#Upchurch asso loves Elvis

Ray you like Churchman when he sanging? Do anything off "Everlasting Country" album. I like "Sonic Drive-In" skin. ✌🌽🍞

❤️🔥🙏 Ray 🙏🔥❤️ That's amazing

I saw a video he was talking bout the management company he's with or was with was made by Sam Phillips the same Sam Phillips that found Elvis.

I like when Elvis sang better.Elvis put more emotion into it

Didn't you do You are a phenomenal reactor, top shelf.

👌🏻

I hope it works out, life changing!

❤️❤️❤️

I am so happy he did this song. The message in this song is needed today. Just like it was needed in 1968. Ryan doing it will reach a genre of people that probably haven't heard Elvis sing it. I am 61 years old and I am becoming an Upchurch fan. Thanks Ray for reacting to his videos. Prayers for the struggles he is going through and your sponsorship. Stay strong Ryan.

U wanna hear him sing, check out Nutshell and check out Silver Circles

Red Sovine "Teddybear"

Prayers that this offer goes your way!! I'm sorry but no one can duplicate Elvis!! It's hard to appreciate anyone else! I'm sure Upchurch is good In his own right, but find it hard to listen to any other singer attempt to do Elvis!

Ryan’s huge catalog of amazing songs far out weighs him falling flat on one song that everyone has an Elvis version to compare to, cut the man some slack. He is the modern day Johnny cash after all.

Upchurch and Adam and demun country should be the next one. You get 3 for one track LoL

Sounds like prayers are needed for the best possible outcome! You are the best reactor on RU-vid!! I TRULY hope this opportunity works out!! Thanks for all you do! Cynthia

U always seem to b n a good mood. Love ur channel. U need to listen to “Steam Roller” by Elvis. I know u will have some funny comments on it. Can’t wait to hear ur reactions on it.

Oh no he can’t sing it like Elvis. Sorry but that’s how I feel. He’s just singing it Elvis sings with feeling and soul

First: I wish you all the best, Mr. Vibe, sir! That is awesome! Though, I must say, I am not surprised. You are really, really ridiculously good at what you do here 💖 Second: You are very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I knew you would, though, & that's why I let you know. I will always, always love Elvis's version. But I will always give another artist that is unknown to me a chance. So quite honestly, I don't think Mr. Upchurch did a bad job here. He did his own thing. I prefer artists let their own personality on a cover shine through. Also, with a not subtle nod to Elvis in his video I think Mr. Upchurch's intent on his rendition was sincere. Now I am not familiar with Mr. Upchurch's discography. So real quick, because I do not want to misrepresent here: I saw him comment on the official Elvis YT channel under the official "If I Can Dream" video. I had no idea who this guy was. But some obviously did because I saw some other people commenting to his comment and each and every one very positive. So I checked out his rendition. This was before I had a YT account. So that's the story of how I became aware of both Mr. Upchurch and of his cover of this song. Third: Mr. Vibe, sir, I let you know about this only after watching a couple of your Ryan Upchurch reactions. So that's how I know you're a fan. I told you about this because I knew you would love it. Finally: Me, personally, I have zero issue with artists who do covers of older and/ or pre- existing songs. It's not a competition. It's music. And isn't music supposed to bring people together? Okay, well. I've gone on enough. I did not plan on commenting here. But I saw some of the comments here and I just wanted to... show support I guess. Peace ✌, light 🌞, & love 💖 to you & yours, Mr. Vibe, sir, and to one & all here as well 💕

I would like to hear reaction from queensryche.. Bridge.. I will remember.. eyes of a stranger.. Etc 😉

Yeah ur EXACTLY right, he damn sure ain’t sexier than Elvis….very few men are

8:10😂

Damn, so many haters today!

Benjamin button 😂

Sorry Ray, I have to disagree with this one😏, if Elvis didn't sing this song then Upchurch did good.... unfortunately Elvis did sing the song and sang it with soul and emotion like no one else could 🥰

Never to much Ren!

Give me a break

WTH LOL

It sounded good however for me his voice not strong enough to deliver the message.

No! No emotion, flat notes, don't know how you can think this is so goiod..it's not! Not even close. Elvis is the King and no one can touch him!!! This wasn't even close!!

Elvis did a better job at singing this song

It was OK... But not close to elvis

Ryan is the modern day Elvis! The dude is the 👑. He can do all types of music unlike 99 percent of the people that do music!

You started to cry because he doesn't even come close Elvis. I don't know this Upchurch. You said he's a rapper. He needs to say in that lane. There is so many flat notes it's pathetic. Listen to them back to back. Sorry but your reactions are usually spot on but not on this one. He does awesome rapping but he hits to many flat notes.

I love all of your Elvis reactions but I am disappointed in this song there’s no comparison to Elvis version. If you listen it doesn’t sound like he has any emotion. It falls flat. He needs to stick to rap

I hope he doesn't try to do another Elvis song ever

This guy can't really sing. Rap is probably where he needs to stay. Elvis is the only Person to sing that song. It was written for "Elvis".♡ I hope all works out with the sponsors Ray!♡

I loved your reaction but not this version! Yuck; he was awful!!! I do however appreciate this message getting out there!!!

BOOOOOOOOTY!! 👎
