[@Pied777]

Look how much relaxed he is. He's smooth and Zen, even tho' he's the only performer and had no one to rely on. Very inspiring.

[@joemac92]

look at his left hand. in bobby's mind, he's playing an instrument. and he really is

[@sbardascione]

Two notes contemporaneously!!!! AMAZING!!!!

[@Tonhas2]

Simply Perfect, he makes me fell Happy!

[@olivebutnotaplant8562]

I love this very much

[@schinken095]

WOW great !! a video with no haters !! GREAT ! I love bobby

[@jpallant214]

Truly, truly fantastic. I am speechless right now.

[@djbenysk1]

Bobby McFerrin and Reggie Watts should collaborate, It would be amazing!

[@White1nsane]

He is without dispute...one of the best !!

[@44eelz]

they should play more random stuff like this on the radio, than the same songs every 5 minutes

[@orchidlizard]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@hejamate]

F*CKIN AWESOME!!!

[@aaronjanke]

I'm learning drive. Anyone ever find a transcription of this song? This is the best version I've found.

[@tynanator111]

this guy is a cool party trick

[@karlarsch56b]

@karlarsch56b if i think about it: for me its actually harder to make a good and clean octave sound than the decimes. but the audience doesn't even realize what is happening at first :D its just the sensational moment of hearing an accord beeing sung! the same tones they don't notice...

[@karlarsch56b]

@karlarsch56b he uses octaves (voice up/buzz down) the first two times and then decimes the third time. have fun - its worth trying, espacially if you play a brass instrument, though you can use it through your instrument then -> multiphonics -> cool :)

[@woolters]

@xguitaristx278 @tiMeTNK seems to me he's using his lips. He produces a low tone by making his lips vibrate (like didgeridoo and tuba players) and sings the upper tone by making his vocal chords vibrate. Try it, it works, but it's effing hard to turn it into a melody!

[@Beans_in_toasts]

he's a fucking genius. and he's so fucking cool.

[@strad5]

''catch me, catch me, catch me....'''

[@luishem]

7:12 HOLY FUCK!!!!

[@tomas0472]

could anoyone possibly explain to me, how he can sing two melodic lines in one moment ?! 7:13 - 7:17. unbelieveable.

[@Trystaticus]

i believe I read a commenter on this video years ago say he's humming to make one pitch and buzzing his lips to make the second. Not 100% that's accurate, but guessing from his oral posture as he's doing it, that's my best guess as well.

[@tiMeTNK]

@xguitaristx278 indeed. I am able to produce two sounds simultaneously with my own vocal chords as well, but its hard and it's not you can just sing a melody like that. low strength and speed of the airflow exiting (or entering) the lungs is crucial for me to get it to work. Being hard enough to control one tone at a time, try making them a harmonic at the same time too... damn he's good.

[@frostblg]

even more than this tho..

[@mario18esposende]

PEDRINHA UM MATSS, UM MATSS,YAYAYAA !

[@gatti6666]

nagyon jó a pasas

[@xguitaristx278]

@IGotDoubleBs Nice attempt at explaining that, but hes using multiphonics. He is somehow manipulating hit vocal chords to allow himself to play two simultaneous notes and harmonize with himself. As to how he manipulates them, i do not know

[@Inthedarkpit]

7:14 - how it is possible????

[@SuperBenHodges]

Everybody notices this because of how obvious it is in the song. He's buzzing one note with his lips and singing the other. The one that nobody notices that baffles me is at 2:56-2:59 I think he is actually singing two notes there.

[@NinjahJames]

Ben Hodges nah dude I'm pretty sure that's just a quick change of note I see what you mean though

[@OscarRichardson]

+Ben Hodges I think it's just vocal fry.

[@sbardascione]

contemporaneously... do you speak english? =)

[@Pied777]

@luishem 8:10 HOLY FUCK HARMONIEZ

[@Thorreth]

"Put my foot on the gas."

[@AppleJuicePacks]

like, live? can i be your fiance?
