Gotta give the audience some credit though....this is in Lithuania! THEY STILL SOUND GREAT! I bet many don't even speak English...in fact you can hear areas where they didn't quite know the exact words, but they went for it anyway!

[@ironandzinc]

Pretty much most Lithuanians can speak English... to be honest singing wise.. Lithuanians, as well as Estonians and Latvians have this singing culture.. they all pretty much sing in choirs throughout school from 1st grade until college.

[@TheSkunkyMonk]

Lol that makes sense, lol was a bit stumped as to how they didn't know the lyrics I was thinking new gneration at first

[@phoenixthedevourer1716]

MonsTeRrrrrrR!!!!!!

[@benhicksbass]

His bass singing tone is my absolute favorite

[@highlightspotent127]

How can every single person in this crowd not be compelled to connect by singing such a wonderful rendition of this song. With Bobby Mcferrin to boot!!???

[@kung-fubadger3766]

I was thinking the same thing I would have loved this.

[@syxziz]

they’re in lithuania, most of them don’t speak english, if i’m not mistaken

[@doby8544]

This is in Lithuania, many of them don't know English nor the lyrics.

[@InservioLetum]

Because the human voice is raspy, wheezy and wet? When people start singing I need my noise cancelling headphones. Machinery sounds soothing, but humans sound like someone is hurting a small animal. I will never understand how normies can just listen to singing without getting a migraine.

The trust he has in his audience is his greatest skill.

[@bradlii]

I don’t know how McFerrin was ever able to swallow an MPC, an 808, and an Autotune plug-in all those years ago, but it’s impressive that neither the circuits nor his anatomy were damaged when he did.😂 Love this man so much. The world is better anytime anyone hears him.🙏🏼❤️🔥

[@chris-ryan]

One of the only artists who's instrument pays to be there.

[@HoodieFrmDaL]

The range of his vocals is just amazing. It's literally no struggle at all for him to go from a deep sound to a higher one.

[@devansafer4251]

And how engaging and charismatic he is that he can get his audience to sing a song and be part of this experience !

Directs the whole audience all the way through up to 2/3rd of the bridge . Smoothly stops the musical bus . Redirects the audience finishes the song .No musical train wreck. Evey music teacher in the world needs to watch this video. Bobby your # 1 in my book !

Macc Ferrin est unique et extraordinaire dans ses rythmes,ses scats ,et ses arrêts et reprises de mélodies a cappella.

I can`t believe how many people are not singing.

[@crispinsday]

they might not know the song

[@narmsemca7765]

IT'S NOT THEIR LANGUAGE ! Bobby knows he is in Lithuania.

Yep , Its a reggae man!

[@DAS1962]

The concert is in Lithuania!!!

[@carthag]

theyre in the front seats. theyre rich assholes. the singing crowd is in the back, as always

[@Shadowcontheoriginal]

Im drunk and just want a thumbs up. It sounds as if i am in the audience...... love this song......

[@FunkyCosmicGirl]

There's no one like Bobby Mcferrin!

[@NERGYStudios]

A damn orchestra in one man!

[@EVPpsycho]

I think the most interesting thing for me is the last note of the song. The way the audience splits into a harmony; one half of them following the original melody of the song, and the other half singing the note Bobby sings. Knowing Bobby, you know that was definitely intentional. Such a creative man!

[@JMc_1]

It touched me too. It’s a beautiful end transition from the pace of the entire song

[@althealligator1467]

Actually Booby is singing the 5th, but you can hear the audience sing a 1st _and_ a 3rd! (And also potentially a 5th like Bobby but I can't hear it) He let the audience actually make the chord resolved, otherwise his own note would be somewhat ambiguous; the melody really ends on the 1st, so I'm not sure why anyone is even singing a third, but it's awesome! Edit: ain't no way I wrote "Booby" lol

[@Thriscucker]

12 years and this is my first time coming across this, I’m disappointed in you KZbin..

[@Johnphro]

he is in Lithuania so I think he is working thru the language barrier amazing

[@devansafer4251]

Johnphro the fact that he’s got people in Lithuania singing w him.. wow

Imagine watching this but with Jacob Collier's audience, they always seem to be highly qualified musicians on his shows! =) This was amazing though, not taking anything away from the performance!
