COMPLETELY Subverted My Expectations!! | Dan Vasc - Amazing Grace | First Time Reaction/Analysis

[@DanVasc]

Thank you so much!

[@officialmortius]

DUDE!! This absolutely blew me away, thank YOU so much! I can’t wait to see more of your talent soon :)

[@dinapatzloff7687]

Mortius, your reaction was priceless! I knew what was coming each time (I've watched his video at LEAST a hundred fifty times), so the excitement and anticipation i felt inside for me to see you react for your first taste of Dan Vasc was so overwhelming and immense! I felt like a kid again, waiting up for Santa! Dan, you are tremendous! You are everything beautiful in this world! You are funny (yes, I watched your Pour Some Sugar on Me video and couldn't stop laughing - and also realized you are a humble and genuine person), you're talented, you've worked very hard to get to where you're at, and you appreciate your viewers. Thank you! I pray that you continue doing God's work! 💜

[@romteni]

How does it feel to have such insane vocalist and celebrity actually reply. Btw u have the best reviews. Ive watched some of your reactions 10+ times if need a smile on my face.​@@officialmortius

Your the best love from Ireland ❤

[@mrbriankeith111]

Tears man. I've never been moved by a song like this version. It will be played at my funeral 100 years from now (😂). Incredible.

[@josiahrobinson6135]

That harmonica is very special to him. His dad gave it to him when he was seven, and sadly, Dan lost his dad to cancer in 2017. Dan did An American Trilogy just days later as a tribute to him. Dan is phenomenal!

[@vickigonya9432]

[@bringbackcommonsense528]

and it was a beautiful emotional rendition

[@riko0029]

Knowing that when I first listened to it absolutely broke me.

Dan Vasc Amazing Grace just hit 2 million views

[@JudyP-tp7wi]

Congrats 🎉🎉to Dan. An accomplishment WELL deserved!! Can tell this man is highly highly educated n trained !! I'm sure he has worked extremely hard. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift

[@EdnaDoe-s2k]

About 15 years ago I crawled out of the pit of depression. it took almost everything I had including my love for music. I completely stopped listening to it. 3 months ago, my girlfriend sent me a video of amazing grace by Dan. I didn't open it for 3 or 4 days. But when I did, I was mesmerized. It was like I had never heard it before. By the time he got to bright shining. As the sun. I Had a come back to God moment. and my heart was full. My soul was on its knees. And my love for music had been reborn. I'm not saying Dan did that. but the Lord must have been working through him. Because I'm a different person. Can't get enough music. Drinking it all in like a Tall glass of ice water on a hot summer's day. new and old. I got a lot of catching up to do. The power of music can Touch your soul and change your life in the blink of an eye. Thank God I listened to a video I didn't want to open by somebody. I had never heard of on a day. I was so bored. I actually listen to a music video. Everything happens for a reason and all things are possible with God. Love your show. You're kickin ass

[@kimroa3628]

Anything by Dan Vasc is worth listening to.

[@christinevincent7025]

I love the way you remained speechless near the end of the performance. 😁

[@mmasque2052]

This is THE PERFECT rendition of Amazing Grace. He starts out humbled, almost ashamed of who he is and what he’s done, begins to accept the gift of Divine Grace and, ultimately, exults in it.All while never once losing the reverence for the source of that Grace.

[@cynthiagonzalez658]

Please forward his link to everyone. We need 1 million subscribers for Dan!! He's such a nice dude.

[@CatherineStoddart]

Dan Vasc has the voice of an angel.

[@susantownsend8397]

I have to listen to Dan Vasc sing Amazing Grace at least once every day.

[@dorothyrosenberg1301]

Dan Vasc is my guilty pleasure. His metal voice can reach those high screams notes. I enjoy the power of his renditions. He can sing anything from popular opera to acoustic folk.

[@ImOnYoutubee]

He is a choir in himself 😅 The KZbin singer who can outsing 80% of current rock vocalists ✌🏻🌟🌟🌟

[@zoltannekontra6134]

Dan blew up KZbin! The internet is talking about this boy! God given talent! The miracle lives in your throat! .....and the hard work that got him this far! 🤩

[@charlesmclaughlin6968]

I'm listening to your commentary 7 minutes into this and you're like, "Oh, I misunderstood. This is a metal singer performing Amazing Grace, not singing heavy metal . . ." And I'm thinking to myself, "You have no idea what's coming! You'd better have your seat belt on!

[@JudyP-tp7wi]

I know right, I couldn't wait to watch his responses especially since he said it's an emotional song to begin with. I was thinking the same as you "this guy has no idea what he's about to experience."

[@reeree6682]

I'm good. I can die now and want this played while my ashes are cast into infinity! I love Dan. All of his work.

[@cornbread12987]

Mortius gets to the apex of the song and screams "Jesus!" and Im like, "...exactly". Nice review.

[@BeBeautifulSalon]

Dan's "I'll make a Man of of you" will blow you out of your seat as does his rendition of " Amazing Grace". He has one powerful instrument!!!

[@williampullig373]

Yeah I wish he would react to that one so bad lol.

[@angel44144]

Me too

[@rosiewoodhouse5503]

Yes!!!! This ☝️

[@varinkavarga3016]

Yes please!

[@Chronicmom68]

I played it for my husband tonight and all 4 grandchildren and my sister just and just watched in awe. It is simply fabulous! Dan is incredible!!

[@pattylisk6170]

When you listen without doing a reaction it absolutely will bring you to tears . The passion not only in his voice but in his whole body and face . Bravo Dan Vasc

[@TRPLD]

This song goes from sombre and melancholic, to heavenly beautiful, to full on power ballad and it is magnificent. It is empowering. It is touching. Absolutely marvelous!

[@angelawhite3058]

Oh my God! Dan is incredible!

[@Davey_bfg71]

How many GOTCHA’S can anyone fit into one performance?!! And that atom-splitting SEE?!!!

[@dodgeman789]

atom splitting see......love it lol, this dude can damn sing

[@loba1719]

He is just a good singer! and an amazing man! I feel this song, but i am austrian! god bless him! my god, what a voice! what a man!!! i love him!

[@janetdw]

I’ve never been a fan of the metal genre, but the metal singers…..Wow! 🤯

[@christinaw9807]

That harmonica was given to him from his father who passed from cancer. 😭

[@harleyadam4813]

He can sing in his rearward register, but you can definitely tell he's more comfortable in his forward register. I'm a Basso Profundo, so when I go forward, you can absolutely hear that's not where I'm comfortable. At the exact same pitch in the exact same octave, when I go into my rearward register, I'll shake the floors. He's also MUCH more comfortable in the Tenor octave.

[@v.n.covarrubias6741]

"... like a victorian woman falling into her chair." Yeahp Dan has that effect. You should definitely check out more of him, everything he does is pure magic.

[@nancyholmes1140]

That’s for sure. EVERY ONE OF HIS SONGS. He’s a treasure! You won’t be disappointed!!!

[@JoanN63]

Wow. I can honestly say that for me this is the most impressive performance of Amazing Grace. One man, so many voices, but all so beautiful. Yes, I like this.

[@NinJenna]

Dan was actually born and raised in Brazil and I heard that that is his dad's harmonica. So it probably does mean a lot to him 😊

[@RosesResinPeace]

that vulnerability around the harmonica comes from the fact that his father gave it to him when he was a child, and that his father just passed away not long ago.

[@kathemayer9269]

Dan’s vocal range never fails to impress me. Not only that, but he can also relate the nuances of the song in a way that I’ve just never heard before. Much about his videos is the other simplicity, so you are focused on him, the music and his delivery. Everyone of his covers is so worth the time to listen to and appreciate.

[@sherryramirez6329]

Your reactions were hysterical . I just discovered this guy a couple days ago. I love this song because i am a christian so its extra special to me but his version called the metal chick hiding in me LOL and said hear are you and you are welcome lol. That he is easy on eyes is a total bonus

[@MommaBird52]

Yay! The reactors I watch are finally watching #DanVasc! Can you believe he has had a KZbin channel for 8+ years! That harmonica emulates bagpipes and gets me every time!

[@VickiYisrael]

The harmonica was given to him by his Dad, that’s what you felt🤍

[@randygriffith4479]

I’ve never heard of this singer, I still have goosebumps. That was awesome.

[@chelleyroberts]

I’ve been having so much fun watching people react to this one. 😅. I haven’t seen anyone yet who hasn’t been blown away.

[@Alpha-Omega-TFOA]

Welcome to Dan my friend. Guy can sing the label on a soup can and make it sound great. Also, fantastic suit.

[@carolyngara9169]

I’m new to reaction videos at 80 and wasn’t too sure why I was enjoying them so much but because of this one I get it. It’s as if the viewers who know the song are watching you because they cannot wait for you to feel what they did. Your comments, enthusiasm and building excitement were everything we did and we’re just thinking just wait for what’s next. I’ve watched several of these videos and have enjoyed yours the most.

[@officialmortius]

Wow, what a compliment 😊 Thank you so much for sharing the experience my content brought you!

[@rosariccardo3529]

@@officialmortius I loved your reaction. It captured what I felt. I've played it over and over.

[@terryeallen-stoda2152]

His reaction was similar to mine as well! I forgot to breathe a few times❤

[@asbjrnfossmo1589]

Some of us (or at least one of us) are sort of not very good at connecting words and emotions, and just really want to know what the words are.

[@grischad20]

it's something i've first felt when i watched "let's plays" to a game i had already played so much there was nothing new left for me in it anymore. it makes you rediscover something you love by proxy.

[@robinpresleywoodward]

Dan paints a total picture with his voice art ❤🎉

[@AleeCat1313]

That's so lovely! A picture with voice art!

[@angiehanson528]

This has always been my favorite song. I love Dan’s rendition. I’m waiting for a liver transplant and I’m telling my children to play this for me. Beautiful voice,Dan so full of emotion. Thank you!

[@Sanderford]

"How long!?" One of those note holds that makes you honestly check your watch. Most of your reactions to this were more or less in line with my own. I absolutely want you to react to more of Dan's music. His rendition of Adeste Fideles is amazing.

[@angel44144]

I think the last note is about 20 seconds… amazing too. I was holding my breath and didn’t last that long LOL

[@Sanderford]

@@angel44144 I've timed it before, hence mentioning my watch. Twenty seconds, solid. Dude has some lungs.

[@agneskantor7525]

He has a nearly 30sec one too. Black wind fire and steel.

[@rosariccardo3529]

In a completely different genre, Dan Vasc's cover of "Born to be Wild" is epic as well

[@s.wilson5199]

When your soft palette is completely raised, the nasal cavity is blocked. If you are singing and can pinch your nose without the tone changing, the soft palette is completely raised. This can allow forward placement without the nasality.

[@iamsquatty]

Wow, I've actually never heard anything from him but here I go on over to his channel to fall down that rabbit hole. That was FANTASTIC. I enjoyed this so much, thanks mortius! 💜

[@rickardelimaa]

His _Wuthering Height_ cover is excellent.

[@sarahgould5435]

If you've ever popped in to Friday Night Tights, the opening theme is Dan Vasc. He's a surprisingly humble artist for such a power singer. Mostly seems to do power covers of songs he enjoys. A lot of fun for me, considering I'm not even a metal fan.

[@nancyholmes1140]

You won’t be disappointed!!👍

[@cynthiagonzalez658]

WOW. you make it sound so complicated. But Dan got such control of his voice. Amazing. His Hallelujah Chorus will blow you away. 24 different voices - all him. Bass to soprano.

[@KarenBlower]

It's not often you hear a metal singer with such an operatic tone to their voice but this guy could easily do either. I am off to check out his other videos. Thank you Mortius!

[@KarenBlower]

Annnd he does do opera.. and musical theatre... and rock.... good grief!

[@zacharyharwell351]

Quite a few metal singers are classically trained actually, and some are actually really good at operatic sounds, its just not their style for their music, thats all

[@elissahunt]

@@zacharyharwell351 I kind of feel that opera is exactly their style because metal IS operatic. You just add the little extra technique for the screams.

[@zacharyharwell351]

@@elissahunt That's true for some but the technique isn't super often used. Their exaggerated nature is definitely a common through-line though, that's for sure

[@siobhanmurphy4912]

​@@zacharyharwell351one example is Rob Halford of Judas Priest. His voice is insane.

[@mistertruex]

Since you are a super fan of Skyrim, you might also be a fan of The Witcher, which Dan does an INSANELY good metal cover of that song "Toss a Coin to your Witcher".

[@joettamcqueen1954]

June 18, 2023. I discovered this song and Dan Vasc five days ago. Now that I've been "Vasc"inated, I'm watching as much of his channel as I can and sharing it everywhere. He's my new favorite vocalist. (Don't tell Josh Groban!) He has taken his God-given talent and honed it to perfection. I cannot get enough. Wow! ❤❤❤

[@morticiaaddams7866]

Vascinated! I love it❤❤❤

[@malindacoffeymc]

I am 81 years old. A born and raised country singer and NOW have been VASConated. Thank you Dan. My music was opened up in the 7th grade to all forms of music but never heavy metal but NOW through Dan Vasc I listen to all of his music❤❤❤❤❤.​@@morticiaaddams7866

[@susanbay6502]

This girl will always take more Dan!! He has such a beautiful voice!!!

[@seonaelizabethcoster8465]

Amazing Grace always, always, ALWAYS hits me in my soul. Two bars in, and I'm bawling. Trying to sing a truly beautiful Baptist/Gospel style version for my High School choir - in multiple competitions and other performances - was, well, a challenge. I can do it, or at least i used to be able to do so, but... yeah. Tear city. Add in Bagpipes (and apparently harmonicas, who knew?) and I need a full box of tissues. {I don't have any tissues with me. I've also fogged my glasses. I can't see.}

[@teresagoben9462]

Teach vocals after the video. That's the absolutely best version I have ever heard.

[@davidbigley7018]

Dan Vasc has an incredible voice. I am a huge fan of his metal covers. I especially love his covers of the Witcher songs. Toss a coin to your Witcher is out of this world.

[@Vyrewolf]

I love Dan Vasc's cover of 'Dawn of a New World' but all of his stuff is really good.

My daddy's in radio and Christian broadcasting. Im also a vocalist, musician, pianist, and play guitar. My Granny also played the harmonica with that kind of talent! What a blessing! I can't stop listening to this and sharing it with everyone! I want it sung at my funeral by him!! (On tape if he can't be there!)

[@BR4IN1N4J4R]

Dan is STUNNING. He's actually probably one of the better metal singers because ho-ly cow.

[@LSevenans]

He did several Elvis covers four or five years ago in tribute to his father who was a big Elvis fan. The first was done five days after his father passed and the emotion Dan can emit made me cry for my father who passed many years ago.

[@Davidofthelost]

They’re not my kind of music. But I still listened to them fully out of respect to Dan and his father.

[@VickiYisrael]

Never in my life have I heard it sang so beautifully. He was moved as millions were, as you can see his eyes watering up. ABBA is using his voice to reach many for the Kingdom. I’m a fan, I’ve probably listened at least a hundred times and it has blessed me each time. Praise the Most High YaHuWaH/God. Brother Dan will never be the same nor will those who listen.

[@ChristinaMurphy]

🔥🙌🏻

[@kimberleyharvey8175]

As you dive into the Dan Vasc rabbit hole, be sure to include Kiss From A Rose. Violet Orlandi guests as his duet, and she has an amazing voice that complements his perfectly on that song. She has a substantial catalog for you to discover as well.

[@marytreder8095]

I second that recommendation!

[@meb8582]

Dan has an amazing voice - all the covers I have listened to from him are extraordinary. Kiss from a Rose, I'll make a Man outta You, Burn Butcher Burn just to name a very few, are brilliant. He sings in English, Portuguese, Italian, German and I think Japanese as well. A truly incredible voice!

[@rosiewoodhouse5503]

I'll Make a Man Out of You!!! 🙏

I have yet to hear a good cover of "kiss from a rose". That is just one of those songs that can't really be covered. Another example is "house of the rising sun by the animals".

[@Cypeters]

I have listened to Dan since his Mulan cover and he never disappoints. He sings everything from metal to opera. Loved your reaction 😊

[@carolburnett190]

I have never heard a harmonica sound so much like bagpipes! I’m a little obsessed with his voice.

You really need to react to the following Dan Vasc songs: “I’ll Make A Man Out of You” and Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar” both are fantastic.

[@leslieholland7843]

What a fantastic review! I love Dan Vasc, and he can sing my socks off! It was such a great version of my favorite song, I am pretty sure that Amazing Grace should always be sung with this much passion!

[@zoeen5650]

To be fair, I've followed Dan a while, I know what he's capable of... but my reaction was somewhat similar to yours first time I heard this one. If you've not seen his "I'll make a man outta you" you're depriving yourself, it's so much fun.

[@JudyP-tp7wi]

Very emotional song to begin with. Dan just takes it to a whole different level. Idk how anyone can listen to this and not be in tears. His version has awoken emotions i never knew i had

He collaborates a lot with Violet Orlandi, also from Brazil, and also an alt.metal singer. Thanks for this. Dan is one of the best indie artists out thrre, and he deserves a lot more exposure. Peace be with you, sir :)

[@petyreaper]

Just for the record this harmonica that he use was a gift from his father that unfortunately pass away years ago, the songs he use it are always really emocional, and his father was a Elvis Presley big fan, so used in Amazing Grace was really awesome from him.

This song has never really had a sentimental attachment to me because my name is in the song (I know that sounds weird but my family would always joke that the song is about me) and I've just heard it so much that it doesn’t have any impact on me. But holyyy this cover kind of made me a bit emotional. Just the way that he did this was so powerful and I feel like it just hits you in a way that you aren’t expecting. I'll have to go check out the original without your commentary so I can really soak it in. Thank you for the great reaction as always friend💜 Also, this is a bit off-topic but it has been a year since I found your channel (I first subscribed on May 2, 2022) and I just want to say that I am so thankful that I found you.
