Bobby McFerrin - Opportunity

Bobby McFerrin - Opportunity

[@odditycg4341]

This is officially the best thing I've ever heard.

[@JulienNeel]

My goodness this was incredible. That seamless 3 octave slide at 3:00... Wow!!!

[@yuichituba]

The 2 1/2 octave leap down at 3:45 that he does in a split second is also insanity. Absolutely love it!

[@culperagent355]

Terrific. I worked with him years back in San Francisco, and he is the nicest, kindest person also. What a real musician and man.

[@skyfighta]

He has perfect control over his vocal skill... it amaze me and I often come back here to listen to him, one of the greatest voice I've heard

[@thomasnichol4138]

This man's range and intonation is GODLY fuck

[@DanaProctor]

Bobby Mcferrin is one of my Favorite vocalists of all times, this dude has a 6 1/2 Octave vocal range, which is ridiculasly Mutantlike for a man.

[@OscarRichardson]

Woaahhhhh that note on 3:03-3:04 is insane. So high, so pure and he's got a vibrato on it. WTF! Soo good.

[@FrancoisLamouche]

crazyy, still cant stop watching since 2 months....

[@fastballonly]

Hahaha! Bobby sounds like a CD by himself. In this one, he has the vocal, guitar, drums, bass and what sounds like sax. Amazing talent.

[@CptnObvious21]

Holy crap, he blows me away every time. How is he so frickin' TALENTED?!

[@Nubrium69]

ok...ppl...seriously. I bought this performance on DVD from Amazon. The entire audience participates (when he gets them to sing with him during other spontaneous songs) and applaudes after the song you see here and EVERY other song...they, like the other posters (who know about Bobby McFerrin), wait for him to finish. You shouldn't judge people simply because they don't act like you ....the DVD is titled "Spontaneous Inventions"

[@MaXaNoMaLoUs]

for me its RIGHT at 3:05, i giggle and have to rewind it over and over! this man is PURE. pure genuis, an emotional genuis musically, what better instrument to be in total control of. YOU

[@72devilz]

This brings back memories from when I was an early teen seeing him as a special guest at several concerts at Columbia College in the mid 80's. That man is a pure vocal genius of improv!

[@leozingy]

Love his smile at 3:06, cause he was obviously happy about nailing that 3 octave jump at 3:02... man, that's some minblowing vocal prowess.

[@kameeleon3]

The man is nearly WORSHIPFUL!! The pure embodiment of MUSIC!! No matter how much someone can Say they love music (even those who Play an istrument) this man makes the Music come out of HIM instead of some detached apperatus!! If Music were a woman, all others present to her a Valentine's Day Card. Bobby McFerrin... Sings her a Song.

[@theshures]

I keep rewinding that bit! And then he smiles after like it even surprised HIM! hahaha LOVE it!

[@arcalae]

Actually, he sings on both inhale and exhale at times ^^ Pure genius!

[@sundiataism]

It was filmed in Washington, D.C., 1987

[@fredp150]

Just masterful

[@Aztec1011]

3:02 that high note slide is sick

[@theeggman85]

I just saw this wonderful man live, and had the extremely good fortune to be able to shake his hand and get a picture with him. He is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, obviously an extremely spiritual and musical man. It was the most fantastic concert I have ever seen, and if anyone out there ever has the chance to see him, you should immediately jump at it. But you knew that without me telling you, huh? :D

[@kionwilson3714]

One of the best songs ever laid down 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@johnnycharco]

Mr. McFerrin is pure magic!

[@villageidiottrainer]

just a voice, incredibly beautiful.

[@NoahZeus]

Always come back once and a while to check it out, he killed this.

[@Buttanick]

This really shows his perfect pitch. This live performance is the exact same pitch as his studio version and he didn't use a tonal reference point. Cool. :D

[@emanx222]

Buttanick the al I’m version is this very live version hahaha

[@agapericles]

The Guy vibrates His whole body, he knows The frequence organicly

[@godu1111]

it dont get much better than this baby ... pure talent

[@ihasmario]

As a musician, i appreciate it greatly when I am applauded, regardless of how i feel i did. I am sure he feels the same. He acknowledges the audience when he gets applauded during a song during many of his videos.

[@francescotravisi]

Bobby è uno dei pochi geni dei nostri tempi, se non l'unico.

[@MsBeetroute]

Like everything this guy does - fabulous! How on earth do those folks in the audience manage to sit so motionless?

[@smileandwave1987]

yeh that's the craziest, been listening to it for years now and this shit blows me away every time.

[@wewillrockyou4ever]

es un genio!!!! lo amoooooooo!!!!! knta precioso, hermoso, excelente y demás adjetivos q describan lo maravilloso q knta.

[@ogyarne]

Bobby McFerrin is really great musician. I love him. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@sheskimusic]

Absolutely insane. We are fortunate to live in the same time as this guy. He is a true genius of his art.

[@1hoytema]

Just awesome! I am riveted every single time I see this and listen. He is just amazing - creating all this with nothing but his voice, no instruments, no partner, nothing.... He is a true artist and true hero. His pitch is so perfect and oh what freedom, and this great buildup and cooldown... Thank you so much for sharing!!! Yes, Bobby!

[@vids721]

no.words.

[@flaxys112]

True, and that's not all. He can also use it. Going from the deepest to the highest tone right away. Simply amazing.

[@Flangzor]

1 of his best tunes ever!

[@nontology]

[@beat-root-2621]

[@Misty9190]

I would've hugged him from behind, this guy literally saved my life from the blues.... Dont worry...be happy!! :)

[@jjjluke]

"3:02 is absolutely insane" Yeaaaah!

[@kor2000]

Ritmo, registro, control total (cantar sentado asi no es nada facil), tremendo falsete, excelentes graves, musicalidad al mango...en dos palabras, un monstruo.

[@missmellow43]

Oh, that when I try to sing one of my favorite Joan Armatrading songs for someone I could render it like this! Great song. Great rendition!

[@scribblehip]

you can tell by that smile right after it that he knew he did something especially great

[@theriven1]

...wicked sick...

[@wyliexc]

jaw literally dropped

[@CharlesBudd]

Yes!

[@petrk1717]

He's a real genius!!!

[@keciruj]

[@LetDalvinCook]

3:02 how is that humanly possible!?

[@cam-the-bassist]

Jay Dub It's the best bit!

[@1DShoe]

Cameron Hooper I keep going back to that section! Haha 2:55 - 3:05

[@howlinhoward]

+Jay Dub So smooth, it goes by so quickly, and yet your jaw drops every time.

[@rdahis]

+Jay Dub And what about 3:44?

[@alfonshomac]

MAN! then that "Nailed it" smile! haha

[@Aplustradomus]

phenom....phenom..oh my gawd! ay dios mio!

[@TheBec63]

[@FrancoisLamouche]

[@Justme1635438]

Awesome perfomance by the master.

[@dustybizzle1]

the original beatboxer... and still the only one who does it right

[@RainStormfront]

Love this!

[@kionwilson3714]

Insane!!!

[@bzeangal]

the lady sitting behind him , her finger is feelin it

[@krptant76]

The only other person in recorded history that can sing like this is the Devil. Wow what a gift.

[@rsc390]

I saw your comment before I watched it, and I was like "no way..." (because I love all of his other stuff and had trouble imagining better). But then I watched it and man its my favorite now too.

[@omnipotentfish]

i bet he is an alien, no one can sing for that long without breathing. that's a f***in' talent!

[@yeoworld]

Truly beautiful... Bravissimo

[@Noisesoft]

awesome!!!!

[@ihasmario]

amazing as always.

[@therising1]

I'd pay a LOT of money to see him in concert. LOTS.

[@ihasmario]

Ive never seen him be 'annoyed' when people applaud him. Ive heard him try to kill applause when he is talking, but that is totally different. He appreciates it, like every other decent musician out there.

[@canikickittt]

maaan soooo good! 1.16 is my favourite !

[@kballin01]

Thank you so much for this vid. "This internet thing is wild"
