This is one of the most interesting covers I've ever heard. Having never heard of him, I was taken aback by the first verse as I didn't expect that light airy almost feminine voice. But then he dropped into the fully masculine voice and shocked me again. Then there was the unique but clever instrumental arrangement. It was super interesting and his style topped it off. And then he topped it off again with his evolving and intensifying performance. I love this because it's just plain fresh.
to hit those notes with original keys are hardly possible by usual male singers, not to mention sounding so good and relaxed while hitting those notes, this is more than amazing.
As a professional musician. I've never heard ANYTHING so AWESOME like you. You have a range that is amazing man. Nice job! Whitney would be proud of you. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Von is my favorite male singer on RU-vid thus far. He sings in a way you cannot teach. He is just breathtaking😌🎶 keep singing I love just surrounding myself with your voice HEAVEN🎙
This video should be shared all around as much as possible. It's too stunning and incredible. He's way better than many others musical artists more famous.
I'll be honest, at first I was like "ehhh, idk", but as I listened I was blown Away, from a technical vocal standpoint this is impeccable and I really appreciate that. Incredible.
I agree with you, just be like a Garden diversify all on it. Who said this fellow can't sing this song? It's so wonderful and impeccable. What a range of voice tones and amazing feeling. He is living this step by step. Bravo to the great artist.
@@britaguzman1331 I'm pretty damn sure Whitney advocates people singing and especially putting their unique way into it. This guy's singing voice is strong and unbelievable. He clearly has practiced so much to reach this point. Whitney had to as well and had even more help coming from a family of famous talented singers. You're utterly disrespectful to her and every singing fan for saying that, you're disgusting.
Brita Guzman Honey, shut up, you're embarrassing yourself. He is not a screeching and whining hyena. Von did a beautiful tribute. Whitney would have loved to hear this beautiful cover, she was unique and this is a unique cover.
He's made this song his own and I'm in love with it. I love how passionate he is while he sings. I've never heard something so beautiful. The way he hits the notes...wow
I just played this song for my mom in my car, and after you started singing she looked at me absolutely shocked. She said “Oh my God he’s amazing, who is he?” But I didn’t tell her until it was over to add to the experience. I couldn’t help but to notice she looked distraught listening to you sing, and when I asked her why; she told me your singing was making her emotional. When you hit that first high note during the chorus, I saw tears flowing down her face. She listened to the rest of the song in complete awe and in a very emotional state. Your music makes people feel things, Von. You’re phenomenal. Please keep doing what you do.
Sean Raus same with my dad haha. I looked over and there were tears in his eyes. And before this we were listening to the original by Whitney Houston and he didn't cry. But with this guys, his voice was just very unique.
Negative nellies have no idea what they are looking at. This guy is paying attention to every single word for diction and emotion/meaning, breath control, voice control, diaphragm, body movements, hitting a huge range of notes, etc, etc. I don't even know all that he is doing. He is using timing for musical phrases as well as emphasis. This is not just belting out a song in the car. Why are there not millions of views? He is amazing. Great artist. Unbelievable talent.
I always say this: When you've got a video (or several) on you tube then you can talk like you know something. The haters are always the ones that have never accomplished anything. Jealous much? Lol. He's very good. Very talented. It can't be denied.
Wmat M you might want to get your ears checked... (almost) every note was SPOT ON. You can take your tuner out if you don’t believe me. And you must not be very familiar with counter-tenor because that’s what his range is. They were very popular in early Italian opera, and someone with a voice like his is VERY rare. If you don’t like his voice that’s your opinion but please educate yourself before making statements like that.
This is honestly the best cover of Whitney I have ever heard ! Most ladies couldn’t even compete with his voice ! I just love his belting/mix so much 😍
This is a great example of Chest to Mix to False/Head voice. He's using all three and mixing them well. Expressions work well, his dynamics are balanced (possible engineered), word painting and phrasing-approach, were clearly expressed.
Yes, it appears to be the trend today...to over do it! Dynamics are a missing art with music these days. But I see soo much potential for him...huhh, if only these singers could hire from time to time, vocal coaches.
Perfect_ Fit I DON'T KNOW WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THEM BUT DIONNE WARWICK SARAH BRIGHTMAN AND NANA MOUSKOURI HAVE LOST RANGE IN THEIR VOICES CHECK IT OUT IN RECENT RU-vid VIDEOS MAY BE BECAUSE OF THEIR AGES
I keep listening to this miracle (since this is not only a performance but a stunning miracle to me) over and over.... I can't stop. I am a huge fan of the original version, but this deserves to sit on the throne by the right side with the original. You are freaking good Von Smith. You have a new fan.
Whitney would be beyond proud!!! You took a song by a legend, made it your own, but still managed to pay a beautiful tribute to the Queen herself. This is incredible! Whitney, babe, you can rest well knowing young men like this still carry on your legacy. I’ve followed your journey since I saw your Dreamgirls “And I’m telling you” cover! Bravo Von!!!
Hes amazing hes got such amazing controls of his voice going from head to chest back to head and taking not ending words with r and putting short o sound just amazing all together
Very cute! Love the tux. Wow! I didn't expect that voice. Seems so natural for him; I like it when he breaks out into his full voice. Magnificent. I like that he keeps his eyes open through the whole song. That's so hard for so many young artists. He makes a great connection with his audience. I can't wait to see where he goes from here. 👍😉🏆🔥
You have an amazing voice, angelic is an insult. I am blessed beyond measure to come across your video. I will pray tonight that you fully comprehend your enormous gift.
He starts out on a high G, just above the 8vb treble clef, and then transcends to a stratospheric F# almost an octave higher than that! And it's not in a falsetto voice! That in addition to singing beyond perfection. Amazing!
@@FranzBlumVan1890 I agree that in some parts it is but it's beautiful nevertheless! Falsettos can be awesome too. Moreover, some of his true high notes are just stunning! He's just perfect!
WOW! Just WOW! This has to be the best vocal performance ever! I don't think I have heard a better version. Von Smith, your voice is mind blowing!!! Thank you for sharing it with us.....
At first i was scary his eyes is a little dead like a vimpire singer, but now i'm amazed! he is such an awesome artist and there is no comment to his powerful voice and control
I just can't understand how a person dislike it! Von, I can tell you took my breath away and I feel breathless everytime I watch this video! You have nothing but talent!
Jaw on the floor. My goodness what incredible and unique talent. The technical score alone sets you apart from literally, everyone. So much control, pitch perfection, and attention to detail. Awe inspiring.
Lucky are the ones who are going to watch the Postmodern Jukebox Euro 2019 Tour, for they’ll be able to watch Von perform live. Von, Have fun every day with PMJ!
Ele é sensacional! O conheci através do Postmodern Jukebox a coisa de uns 4 anos atrás, de todas as vozes incríveis que conheci por lá, a dele sem dúvida é mais me chamou atenção. Desde então virei fã!
Wow! I know plenty of sopranos who wouldn't even attempt this song much less plenty of other Whitney songs because she was the best. You did the song proud. I really thought you would take shortcuts, but you followed every note and not only met it but you laid right on top of it. Nice work!👌👌👌👏👏👏
Share my life Take me for what I am 'Cause I'll never change All my colors for you Take my love I'll never ask for too much Just all that you are And everything that you do I don't really need to look Very much further I don't want to have to go Where you don't follow I will hold it back again This passion inside Can't run from myself There's nowhere to hide Don't make me close one more door I don't want to hurt anymore Stay in my arms if you dare Or must I imagine you there Don't walk away from me I have nothing, nothing, nothing If I don't have you, you, you, you, you You see through Right to the heart of me You break down my walls With the strength of your love I never knew Love like I've known it with you Will a memory survive One I can hold on to? I don't really need to look Very much further I don't want to have to go Where you don't follow I will hold it back again This passion inside I can't run from myself There's nowhere to hide Your love I'll remember forever Don't make me close one more door I don't want to hurt anymore Stay in my arms if you dare Or must I imagine you there Don't walk away from me I have nothing, nothing, nothing Don't make me close one more door I don't want to hurt anymore Stay in my arms if you dare Or must I imagine you there Don't walk away from me No, don't walk away from me Don't you dare walk away from me I have nothing, nothing, nothing If I don't have you, you If I don't have you, oh, oh
