Dan Vasc is the TOTAL PACKAGE!!! He's got the beautiful hair, dreamy eyes, handsome all over & with that absolutely gorgeous talented range in his wonderful voice! This man knows how to give me chills all over! I FELT every word & emotion of this song. I love how absolutely tender, raw & delicate he started the song even with the slight echo & with each verse exposing more talent & intensity. Dan Vasc has a God given talent that he has perfected over years of hard work into what it is today, devine & magnificent!!! He sang this song the way it was MEANT to be sung with such RESPECT, emotion & with a POWERFUL impact. I FELT the presence of GOD!!! This is the absolute very BEST version of 'Amazing Grace' that I've EVER heard in my ENTIRE life & I'm old (LOL). God BLESS Dan Vasc for sharing his wonderful talent & this video with the world! This is something the entire world could use more of if they only would do just that... use & show God's Amazing Grace! 💕🎶✝️🎶💕
Dan is classically trained and has taught voice in the past. Try Phantom's "Music in the Night". Brilliant! And thank you for your respectful critic on this song.
BEST rendition I've ever heard and I'm 80 yr old lady was never fond of metal, but I'm a fan now. Loved your informative reaction. Check out his Music of the Night from Phantom and Gethsemane. Amazing God given talent
It's Dan's versatility that makes him stand out from the rest. He can sing everything from opera, musicals, pop, ballads, folk, gospel, rock to all kinds of metal (soft, hard, power, death etc) and he does it better than most. He is classically trained and has worked as a voice coach. If anything can be sung, Dan can sing it.
A second observation - Your very technical review here, while interesting, kind of misses the point. People don't just hear Vasc, they feel him. A scientist can tell you what makes up the chemicals in an orange give it its taste, but the full experience of an orange involves the smell, taste and the feel of the juice running down one's chin. Dan Vasc is juicy!
I will soon be 77 and have never cared for heavy metal but Dan Vasc I'm in love with your voice, your emotion and performance. You have a huge fan in me.
So glad you reacted to Dan Vasc's AMAZING GRACE. Your analysis was great! Dan didn't over do because he wanted to give the hymn the respect it deserves. I think you would truly enjoy his rendition of BURN BUTCHER BURN from The Witcher.
Dan went through years of training to make his voice this way he was determined to be the best he could be! And the harmonica was the first thing he learned to play, his father gave him one when he was 9 years old.
I'm sure you already know but Dan vasc is actually classically trained which is why I think you drew so many connections of similar things to opera lol
SO glad you finally reacted to Dan. You mentioned Johnathan Young a lot, you need to check out Dan's cover of I'll Make a Man Out of You, there are a few surprises you'd enjoy. also, if you like his high metal belts watch Burn,Witcher,Burn
I immediately thought of you when I heard this. He’s had some classical training (and you can hear it) but he really does this his own way-and I was dying to know what you’d say about the “jawbrato” (great term!).
I watched one of his videos and I was amazed by his talent then,I decided to go to his channel and got lost watching some of his videos for a while. The guy is pretty fantastic. Thank for analyzing this incredible performance...
Dan Vasc is phenomenal. He's 33, Brazilian, and a vocal beast. I'm sure you would enjoy his many genres of music. I hope you'll react to more of his covers. I've just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the analysis!
I'll Make a Man Out of You (Epic), Scarborough Fair (mesmerizing), and of course, the Hallelujah Chorus! Oh, and Angels We Have Heard on High... simply stunning!
That's the BOSS himself! When you have time check out Dan's version of Loch Lomond..Adeste Fideles and Angels We Have Heard On High..you will be blown away..he has a special and amazing voice..love all his covers..he is the best!😘
Thanks for the reaction to Dan Vasc 👍. There are so many, actually all (cover) songs that Dan has done better or rather taken to the next level. E.g. by Lady Gaga "Poker Face" or the Witcher series "Burn Butcher Burn" or a little shallower by Ed Sheeran "I See Fire" or, or, or 😉. He also has his own band "Fearless" the album is called - Chronicles of Ancient Wisdom - just great ❤️
Dan Vasc has made me appreciate metal. I am a 70 year old grandma 🙂who loves classic rock and more and I recently discovered Dan. Amazing voice ! I love his covers. You made it very interesting as you analyzed it. So I subscribed, you are new to me too. Thank you Peter.
Same rabbit hole since the start of Covid. Love watching his channel grow, I for one need a daily fix. Also love watching professional reactions, thanks Peter.
Check out Dan's cover of Bring me to life, from evanesence, can't spell, but he'll blow you away! Thank you for Your reaction and technical experience!
For a totally different side of Dan's talented voice, two of the Hobbit songs, "I See Fire" and "The Last Goodbye", if you haven't heard of these yet, are awesome. Such emotion he brings to these songs...
You want emotion, check out An American Trilogy, done as a tribute to his dad just days after he passed away from cancer. Rips my heart out every single time!
@@josiahrobinson6135, I can’t watch “Son of Pain” by Dan without crying, too! His voice just tears out my heart! He has such emotion in his voice that is so powerful! ❤
Love your reactions. Your vast knowledge is shared with great precision yet so easily understandable to even a dummy like me. Dan's one man choir cover of The Hallelujah Chorus was jaw dropping for me. Not only for the vocals but the editing he did. Anything you choose will be appreciated. Peace and love. Much thanks to you.✌🤗💐
Welcome to Vasc Nation. Enjoyed your reaction, very informative. I would love for you to react to 'Gethsemane' as his portrayal is outstanding and he conveys, through his incredible acting skills, such passion, pain and sorrow - it's truly captivating! If you want to go right to the other end of the 'his metal spectrum' he does an 'Evanescence' cover of 'Bring me to Life' which is bonkers, crazy, good! I would never have listened to something like this before & my first reaction was "OMG please don't damage that beautiful voice" (maternal instinct most probably) but he knows, through technique, how not to! He did however say that he doesn't speak to anyone for a while after doing such growls! I would be really interested to hear your analysis of the last note as that completely threw me! There are so many to choose from but if you wanted an amazing take on a Disney song then 'I'll make a man out of you' from Mulan is really fun and yet another side to his extraordinary talent!😁
So glad you finally got to do a video on dan! His voice is amazing! If you want something else from him hes got some opera stuff and also his cover of I'll make a man out of you from mulan is quite popular and great! Also, just wanna give some love to Mason, keep being the best editor ever! 💜
Glad you analyzed him! Amazing grace was the first song. I heard him sing on RU-vid. Then I started following him and he does some really cool covers. His “Kiss From a Rose” is great too
I watch most of your analysis and commentary. Love learning from you. I was very excited when I saw you are checking out my new discovery. Fantastic metal singer. But here ya go --- he sings covers of many groups from the 80s (Journey, Guns n Roses to name 2), Kiss from a Rose, Beauty and the Beast duets with great singers, and he does songs from broadway plays... check out Music of the Night (a performance that shows the Phantom displaying his magnetic and magical alure, with the madness peeping out. Fantastic performance. Also, Gethsemane. He pours his heart out. Then he does Nessun Dorma with such power it blows my sox off. His breath control is amazing as is his range. Check out his metal group Fearless. Thanks
Thank you for your great reaction to Dan's brilliant performance of Amazing Grace. Dan's talent is incredible, he brings everything he does to a new level of excellence❣❣❣
Glad you liked the accompanying music, it's ALL Dan. Besides being an incredible singer, he is also a composer, arranger and musician, check the credits. He also does all of the filming and editing. Funny you used the word Epic, Dan also tells you to have an Epic Day.
Thank you for a great reaction! The breakdown of Dans Epic vocal style, I've never been musical- but analysis like these give me a greater appreciation of singers, and musicians alike. Welcome to the Dan Vasc rabbit hole, its deep and wide! Subbed❤
as one who has neither an understanding of how to use, or natural talent with using our human instrument, i thoroughly enjoyed listening to your analysis. not surprised when you mentioned charismatic voice as i was wowed listening to her analysis as well. there are so many directions to jump down the danvasc rabbit hole. i would send you to mulan next for some diversity. ty
Peter, great to see you do one of Dan's covers. Keep them coming. Found him 5 or 6 years ago looking for Manowar covers, he had the only good ones on the 'Tube back then. If you want to put to rest your fears that metal singing is unhealthy, try their Swords in the Wind live. Eric Adams runs through about 3 octaves in that one, at 69 years old. 😉😉 After some of the craziest metal screams on record. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tkPlBf91Ysc.htmlsi=Uyr4nLKtfQfzeHY3 Look at Michael Kiske for a cleaner form of metal high note. Try Helloween's Halloween. Have something soft under your jaw. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VAVeG4KS0JM.htmlsi=dnGYR0qC-1ph9kyG The other vocalist, Andy Deris, is pretty good too.
I love watching people who actually know what they are talking about react to Dan's performances. Thank you for this. (Also, I hope your AC comes back on.)
I love Dan’s voice and his rendition of this classic. It knocked my socks off. I found your analysis equally enjoyable because you put into words what we all marveled at. You brought us to a deeper appreciation of the art and skill involved. Thank you!
I learned alot listening to ur reaction . Please listen to Nussun Dorma...Time to say Goodbye and by all mean please listen to Bring me to Life..to hear Dan's full amazing range. I appreciated ur thoughts
😃😃😁. Wow.. just wow, I am giddy with joy at your reaction, totally fulfilled my hopes! With your immense wealth of vocal knowledge and training, to see your face break out in surprised crinkles and hear your awed and admiring commentaries for this rendition from Dan delights me endlessly. Amazing Grace introduced me to Dan and I became lost in his channel. Following channels reacting to it has also introduced me to other awesome channels, like yours! So kudos to Dan for this as well. Subbed your amazing channel. 😊❤
Oh heck, I forgot to mention Bring Me To Life. In this one at some points he sounds like some wild beast, maybe a lion, roaring out words in tune. The last note he hits has such distortion I swear he is singing 2 notes with one voice. Stunning.
I forgot to mention it, also, and it's one of my VERY favorites! Thanks for adding it to the list! 😀 Actually, Dan IS singing (more than) two notes at once, in several places in "Bring Me to Life." The sound tracks are joined, as is the case for MOST of his music (especially the "Hallelujah Chorus"--grin).
I have been listening to Dan Vasc for about two weeks and can't get enough I'm 75 y/o and have enjoyed this young man and his vocal adventure. Peter. Thank you greatly for explaining what Dan is doing with his voice I wasn't sure why I love hearing him. I found two new people to subscribe to. Thank you so very much.❤
Dan has been my favourite singer since I first heard his 2020 cover of The Sound of Silence on 9/15/20(he also did a cover of it in 2016). Since then, I've listened to absolutely everything on his channel, and I love them all. He can sing absolutely anything, from Nessun Dorma to Bohemian Rhapsody to Loch Lomond to Handel's Hallelujah (all by himself!) to metal by Angra, Sabaton to Manowar to Helloween and more. He even does an EPIC version of our National Anthem and his original song, All Hail Friday Night Tights for the show of the same name on Nerdrotics channel and original songs with his band Fearless. I'll watch any Dan reactions you do, but I'd love to see reactions to Fairy Tale, Carry On (Angra's version, the tribute to Andre Matos), all of the DragonForce covers, Dawn of Victory, and Beyond Belief, as well as his Christmas covers. Keep them coming!🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for doing this! I was really hoping you would do this as I love Dan Vasc's rendition of a song that means so much to me. If you could please do his rendition of Nesun Dorma. If not, then his cover of Phantom of the Opera or Gethsemane. Please?
Dan is amazing! He can sing heavy metal to classical, he does 80 covers and some folk. This is defiantly a rabbit hole you should explore. Thank you for doing this reaction. If you want to know more about Dan, he has some live streams that he talks about how he has gotten to where he is and where he wants to go. 🙂

What a great detailed reaction. I learned things from you. Thanks! Please check out Dans Witcher covers. Everything he has covered has been top notch. I look forward to learning more about Dans technique from you. Dan please keep doing your thing. It has empowered so many of us. 😊
Handel's Hallelujah is otherworldly, both in vocal techniques and in video editing, as Dan electronically clones himself to become the entire choir. Also, Dan is a gamer of some renoun, and he has some really popular covers from the Witcher series, and other D & D style epics. Then there are the showtunes...Let's face it, he has a Vasc catalogue, with no clunkers I've found yet.
Fantastic! What a brilliant cover of this beautiful song. What a voice! Super interesting and informative reaction, especially regarding his technique. Please do more Dan Vasc reactions, particularly "Gethsemane"! It's simply stunning! Could you also react to him singing the beautiful "Loch Lomond". Also Pentatonix singing "I Rise". Sensational!
Dan is hands down is one of THE BEST male vocalist I've heard if not the best! I've heard this song done a thousand times throughout my lifetime as a PK (Preacher's Kid). NOTHING even comes close to this rendition! I truly believe that he was born for such a time as this. To bring hope back to a dark and hopeless world. Thanks for your wonderful critique on this song!!
@@oscar646 ❤️ true! Good point. I 2as dealing with some hopeless feelings at the time I wrote the... I didn't mean there was NO hope, just that people are feeling hopeless and helpless with all the things going on in the world.
Oh, those wonderful hopeless and helpless states of mind! Yes, I’ve not only had more than my fill. I reckon that I’ve had more than anyone’s fill! I’m sending all my good wishes dear Lynda! Keep that beautiful and sturdy chin of yours ‘up.’@@Lynnda86
Same here...I am a PK as well...plus my Uncle was my Pastor when I was young...and NOW my youngest Brother is my pastor... AND YEAH, I have heard AMAZING GRACE so many different ways...THIS VERSION STANDS ALONE....WELL ABOVE ALL THE OTHERS PUT TOGETHER...BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES ..SUCH RAW EMOTION MIXED WITH INCREDIBLE TALENT AND GIFT FROM GOD.... TRULY AMAZING GRACE ❤✝️
@karenking5357 ❤I'm so glad you enjoyed it as much as I did! He's so gifted and blessed with hid God-given talent. And he's very humble also (he doesn't mind people sharing without copywrite permission, etc). He has apparently turned down HUGE recording industry offers! He's absolutely amazing and contagious!!
Please everyone across the globe. This is the most profound voice to human kind. He is unintentional. He is beautiful. He saves many of our people In South Africa. God loves you forever ❤
I absolutely love everything Dan has done! I think he is awesome! Loved listening to your review and I hope you do more from Dan. I would love your take on his metal covers. Looking forward to more! 🎶🎶
The first time I heard this I was completely mesmerized by his range and ability to sing different genres. Your analysis is always insightful and fun to watch! Thanks for making this channel.
FINALLY!!!!!! I have been checking closely and waiting for you to analyze Dan's voice. So interesting to hear pros point out different techniques and they are always impressed with him. So now that we know YOU love the Sound Of Metal screams, you must start to explore those with your deep voice. I look forward to hearing THAT! I also am excited for you to react to so many of his genres of music, particularly his Operatic selections of course. Welcome to DanLand! And enjoy the wild ride he takes you on.......🎡🎢🚀⚡🔥😨🙃
Dan also DOES do a "Sound of Silence" cover, modeled on the Disturbed version. I think you would really like it. I agreed with everything you mentioned in this evaluation. I have to say, though, "You ain't seen nuthin' yet!" He has been classically trained (most of which he's done himself), plus he TEACHES, but, yes, he obviously knows what suits him the best, and he makes good use of that knowledge. You hear him keep that last breath going, in this one, for 25 seconds. I've carefully timed it. He takes a full inward breath just as he starts the final, "...I see," and then he holds that, even while sliding into the, "AHA!" until that final chin vibrato and still-rock-steady tone, that just...ends. I was a little surprised that you didn't notice his very-expressive eye motions, that tell a good part of the story and testimonial journey that he "explains" as he goes. When his voice was more soft and tender, his eyes were glancing around, and also had a bit of a "startled doe" look (which, believe me, is NOT usually Dan). Once he started solidifying, and his chin came up, and the nasality started slowly to disappear, he was still looking around. Then came the harmonica (can you say, "bagpipes?"). You talked right through the Celtic drumbeat that was backing up the harmonica (don't worry--you're not the only one who has done so). I'm sure you've already read about him learning to play harmonica when his dad gave him his first one somewhere between the age of 7 and 13. Both he and his brother Davi (wait 'til you learn more about HIM) started playing harmonica as well as many more instruments, way back then. Their mother was (still is, as far as I know) a singer, and their dad (of Italian lineage, which makes English Dan's & Davi's third language--Brazilian-Portuguese, Italian, and English) was (he passed away about seven years ago) a musician. So...at the end of the harmonica interlude, when he swings up into the next range after also swinging the hair and setting his shoulders more solidly, and he goes into the "...10,000 years..." part, he begins to get his eyes closed down tightly. From that point on, he no longer glances around, and he only opens them for less than a second. With that change, he demonstrates very well, that no longer is he relying on his physical/worldly sight. Instead, he illustrates that he "gets it!" Even, all the way to the very end, he never again opens his eyes, which adds a TON of both emotional and spiritual power to the vocal power, if you are looking at what he is "saying" by his actions (and Dan ALWAYS adds those types of hints...you'll get used to it). I would love, before you react to anything other Dan music, to see what you think about his one-man choir (24 voices) "Handel's Hallelujah [Choir], from The Messiah." (He calls it his "journey into insanity.) After that, you might want to watch & listen to both of his last year's Christmas offerings. With all three of those, you will start to see some different aspects of Dan's artistry. After that, I would HIGHLY suggest that you check out his stupendous version of "Black Wind, Fire, and Steel," which he does as a very-well-deserved tribute (and challenge) to metal guitarist Luis Mariutti (also Brazilian). When you do, be sure you watch carefully to the very end (I wouldn't do a ton of stopping and starting on that one, if I were you). It's fairly short, and it's important to catch every nuance. In fact, you might want to get the lyrics before you listen, if you don't already know them. They are just as important to the performance, as everything else. They give you a VERY good picture of what Dan is "all about." When the stupendous ending begins to happen, do NOT pause until...well...you'll know when you get there. After the "fade-to-black" happens, also, PLEASE be sure to stay in the video until you've heard the actual tribute that he gives to Luis, and why. All of Dan's outros are VERY important, if there is one (with Amazing Grace, there wasn't, but that's not the rule--at least with most of the older videos). OK...I'm done. I'm a (nearly-74-year-old) musician and singer, myself, but I'm also a writer (as well as a RU-vidr with two channels...the other one is ...Gone Gaming). It's hard for me to stop once I get going. Thank you again for the great reaction. 😀
I love, love, loved your reaction/analysis , Peter. In having no vocal skills at all it makes what you have to say so great. What an education! Your respect for Dan’s skill was so refreshing. Thank you! You might check out Bring Me to Life or Black Wind Fire and Steel for some great metal sounds but strap in for the ride. Poker Face will get you some experience with Dan’s growls. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how he makes that happen. ❤
Thank you so much for this, Peter--you know how often I've begged and badgered you to analyze Dan Vasc's covers. For sheer entertainment, try out his cover of Boston's More Than a Feeling--wow, the range is breathtaking. His rendition of I'll Make a Man out of You is iconic and brought Dan to world attention. For pure metal headbanging with some amazing twists, I'd love to get your take on Bring Me to Life (your metal envy will skyrocket!). As for Gethsemane, Ted Neeley sings the song like it was written just for him, but Dan really brings the drama and power. Dan's cover of Africa he says is one of his favorites. He sings Michael Bolton's ballad Go the Distance with very little grit, but it's gorgeous and charming, and the video snippets of his journey from a musical teenager (with crazy energy) to the present (5 years ago, when his cover was posted on RU-vid) is deliciously endearing. You have such a great ride ahead with Dan!
I have bre😮waiting😮for you to react to this video! I loved an Vasc! 💖 Please listen to Gethsemane from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar and Kiss From A Rose!
I always learn something from you about why people sing the way they do. I had seen this video before without a reactor and I was impressed. I’m not into metal, but I listened anyway. He is expressive and has a special way of respecting the song. Thanks for your oh so informative reaction.
I loved your analysis. Sounds like you are very talented too. You seriously need to chk out ALL of Dan Vasc's other songs. He does MANY different types of songs including operatic styled songs & he completely nailed it on every song he does. He has had many years of trained in top of having natural talent. His father originally gave him that harmonica when he was very young. If you are sooooo in awe of the grit that you would like to learn how to do then maybe you should look into a collaboration with Dan on something. He might be interested knowing that you are an opera singer with such talent of your own. You never know til you try. Just DO IT!!! 💕
If you want to hear something powerful by Dan Vasc then you should do a reaction to the song called Gethsemane from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar and be ready to be Blown Away
Most appreciated reviews are by those who are vocally trained. Epic is a good word. I count three octives, with hair turns shy of 4 in this vocal production. Am i correct? Beautifully rendered in light of authors context of the song. Slave trader to redeemed and major participant in reforming early human trafficking in our nation's early history. This is NOT a passive song historically.
This was great, thank you!! I really hope that you watch and react to his Cover of "Music of the Night" from "Phantom of the Opera"! It's simply a straight cover, no metal, but, it's REALLY impressive!! Thanks again!
Exactly! That's what it was SUPPOSED to do. Good catch! 😀 Actually...check out IL Divo's orchestral version--their last one with the full quartet. You'll see immediately, what Dan patterned his version on (bagpipes included).
