Bobby McFerrin on The Sing-Off - Drive

Bobby McFerrin Sing-Off www.rickey.org
Bobby McFerrin leads the groups in singing "Drive" on the Sing Off. Amazing!

[@chamcham123]

In pop culture, Bobby McFerrin is most well known for singing "Don't worry. Be Happy". But he is a living legend. His album "The Voice" is considered a classic and is often studied to this day.

[@MeandSadie]

If you go to one of his concerts, you can possibly sing with him. He brings people up on stage to sing and dance and improvise. The best fun ever!

[@StreetHierarchy]

This song is older than everone on stage who's not bobby mcferrin.

[@AlWheelin]

Very true

[@bestbetta]

This performance is one of the greatest in the history of music. The powers to change the human voice in this way are truly astounding. I'm privileged to have had to honor to meet Bobby in person and hear him live multiple times. In person, he is a musical force to be reckoned with. Long live Bobby and may his music be forever eternal!

[@DSteinman]

Everything that guy does is magic. He is basically a wizard.

[@maguffle]

This may be the best description of him I've ever read!

[@cbritton1876]

One of the most original voices you will ever hear. Bobby McFerrin is a hero to anyone that uses their voice as their instrument. I have loved him for over 20 years now.

[@Josue166]

I remember watching this the same night it aired ... Bobby is amazing he made everyone on stage part of that amazing, that just comes to show you how great he really is.

[@spaudrey]

Watched this season from start to end, and being a huge McFerrin fan, (knew him before Don't Worry), it just capped off a great season. The reverence that all these great singers give him, it shows just how much of an icon in the singing world he is. I have seen him 2 times, and had the privilege of being in one of these improv groups with about 40 that just came up on stage. And EVERYONE is completely different. He started this one with his song Drive, but it just morphed into this. Amazing.

[@smarterthananyone]

And this is the best performance any of them will ever have the chance to give. I expect they all appreciate that. McFerrin is an a cappella God. Did beatbox even exist before him?

[@electric7508]

This has always been my favorite track from him.

[@prestoluh]

He's unreal. More talent in his pinky than 99% of performing artists today.

[@debros65]

Yeah! He is not underestimated in Europe!..we are flocking to Denmark in droves from May 6th -9th 2011 to attend the Aarhus Vocal Festival ..choir and vocal ensembles competitions, workshops and concerts with Bobby McFerrin featuring one of the greatest a cappella choirs around Vocal Line...can't wait ;-) Bobby invited Vocal Line all the way from Denmark to showcase his new Grammy nominated album VOCAbuLarieS in the Lincoln Jazz Center NYC last November. Come & experience undiluted a cappella!

[@monra336]

I smiled the whole time watching this ... Last night was the first time i had watched this show and i didn't find any of the acts as amusing and as amazing as this single performance truly amazing truly genius and all around amazing... Oh By the way it was amazing ... Bobby is a true genius of music

[@jarrodalston4411]

I bow down to the greatness that is Bobby Mcferrin

[@DxHuman]

man this kind of thing you only see in movies, after weeks of rehearsals. This man just did that on the spot, incredible!

[@CourtneyK]

He's got the most incredible breath control. Just amazing!

[@dylanmackinnon1244]

Bobby Mcferrin may mostly only be remembered for Dont worry", but this guy should be remembered for so much more, the fact that he made most of his songs on the spot, made an entire orchestra by voices, he is a legend

[@shess08]

I've watched this about 10 times now and it never gets old

[@boricuabooklover]

That was fantastic! I couldn't stop moving to it.

[@shewhoiskay1]

THAT WAS GREAT! BEAUTIFUL... Where is Bobby McFarlane these days? I LOVE THAT MAN♡ PEACE & ALWAYS LOVE TILL-TIME INDEFINITE FOREVER & EVER♡

[@Rmasai]

Bobby took the youngster to school. It takes four or five of them to do what Bobby does by himself....Amazing.

[@lesterbiggs]

Can't say enough about this video! Bobby McFerrin is the man!

[@mimoreli]

great moment......sweet and intensive....full of energy......thank u guys...you are magic.......pure magic....and a great soul.....

[@therising1]

No one will ever touch Bobby...he was and is still amazing.

[@KingDavid314]

I've got this taped on my vcr and I've watched this @ least 25 times!!!!! Probably more!

[@PrimetimeD]

Wow, just amazing! And I love how all the kids on the show were just smiling and what they were taking part in. Great stuff.

[@Xeria]

This is why Bobby is a legend all of his own. Pure genius

[@clgarvin]

Yes!! I am proud of my culture when it comes to musical creativity. I may not like all of it but I love what he does.

[@AlWheelin]

Really good, even after 14 years, great talent.

[@Major2219]

Yeah Bobby!!!! Me Number one Fan!!!!

[@ivmeer1976]

I'm so glad that they let Bobby show the world what he can really do and didn't stick him with singing "Don't Worry Be Happy."

[@lesleympf7]

BOBBY is so creative..So unpredictable and gifted.

[@LilDP]

Dude, I own this track. One of my favorites from this guy.

[@monra336]

I smiled the whole time watching this ... Last night was the first time i had watched this show and i didn't find any of the acts as amusing and as amazing as this single performance truly amazing truly genius and all around amazing... Oh By the way it was amazing :P

[@mslebruce]

[@360Warlock]

I never Get tired of seeing This !!!!! Doh Doh Deah!!!!

[@soulerism]

this man is amazing thank god for guys like this

[@corymac011]

The thing that not a lot of people do not realize Is after his song Drive in the very start of the video it is all improv on the fly. Just what ever pops up in his mind he goes with....... Anyone who enjoys music should look up bobby for his improvs each one is a one time masterpiece of music.

[@papavalium]

This is the original man here folks. Lets just say he's from another era.

[@Hozer42]

Did I really just see this?!? WOW!!! Spectacular!!! Thank you for posting. I am glad I clicked on this.

[@ZackaryWoodmansee]

one of the most unappreciated artists of all time.

[@excursustoo]

Beautiful, insanely talented man. I adore him! Thanks.

[@dblochenspiel]

[@TheKennyboy92]

[@eagleshadow5]

LEGAND. that was sick. he is a one man band who sounds amazing!!

[@dilgevicius]

[@cdcotr]

[@grafx5]

Spectacular as always.

[@shmopy5]

Thanks for getting this up so quick. How awesome!!!

[@rogermandevillejr132]

It's amazing what this guy can do with his voice

[@AlWheelin]

Totally amazing

[@360Warlock]

The master 🙌 Bobby McFerrin

[@rvdpadt]

@Manhood101 he is not really under-celebrated if you ask me. it's just the wide 'pop' audience that doesn't know him. But at my school, the conservatory in Utrecht (holland), everyone agrees on him being one of the greatest musicians around. Musician, not just a brilliant singer, a brilliant musician

[@iluqtun07]

first time i've heard Bobby and that was pretty good!

[@chansherly212]

unbelievable, you mean this is impromtu? wow, not only can this guy make some awesome music at the drop of a hat, he can command a whole group of people to make his music even richer, how on earth haven't i heard of him before?

[@theeggman85]

Jesus this was amazing! Seriously one of the coolest things I've heard.

[@CountPatchy]

a fantastic website for all of your high ideas

[@bonzmontreux]

NOTA - winners of Season 1 are the best!!!!! Just saw their new video for "All I Want For Christmas Is You" on their channel - NOTAVOCAL ... its AMAZZINNNGGGG

[@chrisfostermusic]

all i can say is music is powerful! What a performance

[@poeven]

i love drive! - and bobby! - and this!

[@UToobdad]

If you have never done so, add his name to "Ave Maria" in the search box and listen to him sing that. There is a duet with a cello (I think) and a few with the audience. Just incredible!

[@bibip12345]

Desrve more viewers !!

[@NIIVES]

Bobby McFerrin is the master!

[@kirrbro]

Bobby McFerrin for president!

[@moonshinevessel]

that was amazing. hes my hero now.

[@Manhood101]

Bobby is so under-celebrated. WHAT AN ARTIST HE IS. Because he loves the art within himself and not himself in the arts.

[@hayweegurl]

This guy is still awesome!! (:

[@Ally657]

Woww! That is awesome, I love when he hits that super low note.

[@grafx5]

@GnP1994 The part he was doing solo at the beginning is "Drive," a song he's been singing for 20-odd years. Everything after that is pure improv.

[@ege1993]

i would kill to sing in a choir conducted by this guy :)

[@GeetarAdam]

Bobby McFerrin is good for the soul.

[@OMYEnterprises]

This was amazing!

[@PallaTheDancingCow]

most amazing guy in acapella !

[@MatrixCat3D]

I've seen a lot of his work but this just confirms - Bobby McFerrin *is* the music.

[@demofactory]

@clgarvin He makes me proud to be an American ...period! Nice to meet you friend!

[@rons.2335]

legend

[@Major2219]

I'm waiting for Bobby Mcferrin & Take 6 to do a song together!!! Who's with me?

[@noni2k]

@xtingu I remember taking road trips with my family in the late 80s and my dad playing Him in the car. I'm my own walk man is my favorite song from him.

[@Kate121991]

GOSH BOBBY MCFERRIN IS SOOOOO AMAZING :D

[@bastet727]

This is why you can LOVE singing! What you do with the vocal instrument...I can't even put it into words. He didn't 'command' these singers. If you are well trained in group performance, you know what to do by what you hear.

[@tru2art]

bobby was awesome!

[@lamogollita]

oh por Dios!! super buenooo!!!!! algo tan sencillo pero tan buenoo!!!!

[@prieto1200]

thats crazy, Bobby McFerrin is the first artist to ever capture my ear... was born in 82.. so you can guess what song

[@lostintravise]

McFerrin is a legend

[@kingskid1985]

I do NOT remember seeing them air this. How the HELL did I miss THIS?! Amazing! smh

[@Genktarov]

@DaMasterJnL That wasn't effects. That was his VOICE, pure and simple. The guy has a 4 octave range and can make his voice sound like it's one of any number of instruments, from saxophone to rock guitar.

[@jocelynh3708]

that was awesome!

[@AmadaRobles]

its like a choir class. i love it

[@ladydrumbum]

AMAZING!

[@snibblebacker1]

GODLY he is epic!

[@tastysandwhich]

I dont know why but the people in the background bouncing along just make me laugh every time

[@intheatremode]

so amazing

[@corybanter]

Holy...crap. McFerrin is the MAN.

[@abcasd1]

love the bass guitar

[@549621jon]

that was F@CKIN AMAZING

[@rwilliamson8512]

Bobby is true gangsta.. Look at this guy, looks like he just put on clothes to go to Wal-Mart and pick up some toilet paper, but decided to drop in Sing-Off and put on one of the most memorable performances that most of the viewers of this video will ever see.

[@JillKnapp]

It breaks my heart that there are only some folks who know Bobby for "Don't Worry Be Happy." Hell, that's like only knowing The Beatles for "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." This man is my hero. (Protip: If you see him live, try to sit up front. You might get called on stage to do what these guys are doing.)

[@cowboytonydee]

Wow, it's probably the first time we see something else that pop music on this show.

[@novapup2001]

He was so far beyond, "Don't Worry..." even when it was a hit...duuhhh. He is your teacher.

[@deeboym6611]

THE SCiENTiST OF MUSiC n SOUND!

[@ChantaeCann]

HE IS MY HEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
