[@JoanFrayer-kh6ez]

There are no words to describe Dan Vasc performing this. God Bless him;🙏He took me to heaven. ❤❤

[@slowfud]

Lol, you have to believe us. When we recomend something from Dan, it surely is unforgettable!!!!

[@marlena.34]

“To command his audience”… a brilliant way to state this. Dan is the most amazing singer/performer/man I have ever seen or heard in my life. He is captivating.

[@tinak.356]

DAN is A SUPERSTAR!!! SEE ALL THE OTHER SONGS! YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY. Don't DIS him yet! Listen to Dan First!!! Amazing Grace!!!! The BEST!!!

[@VickieBlock-zu6cf]

I’ve seen this more times than I can count and I still cry with him. Such emotion, no director could possibly pull out of an actor. He is his own person with his own feelings and emotions and gives so much of himself in his work. We are all blessed to be witness and to receive this gift.

[@moirabaker458]

I agree. I feel his torment

[@umarae27]

Chillingly unbelievable. Goosebump performance. Powerful. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@FinarfinNoldorin]

He would have been wonderful in that role in that amazing play. He sings that song better than anyone else I've ever heard. Dan belongs on a stage. He has tears in his eyes, and it totally broke me. What an emotional performance!

[@valerie_k24]

He literally is singing for life. Dan always manages to put the right emotions into every single rendition, making the audience believe it's happening to him at this very moment. Truly outstanding in every way.

[@tinak.356]

You are correct! He CAN do ANYTHING!!! He puts himself in MY LORDS PLACE AS much as any MAN Can.Yes baby! He grabs your attention right away!!!! You ain't heard nothing yet!!!

[@heatherG1974]

So glad u reacted to this, I knew you’d love it!! Please react next to Nessun Dorma. You will have head to toe goosebumps, I promise. The power in his voice in this Italian opera is not something I have heard anyone else achieve. ❤❤❤

[@terryeallen-stoda2152]

My heart gets shredded every.... single.... time..... I see Dan's phenomenal performance of this song!! He is such an incredible powerhouse of a vocalist he can do anything musical that he sets his mind to do.❤❤❤❤ Your wonderful reaction is exactly what I think about his abilities as well!

[@gabiheimburger7045]

It's one of my All Time Favorits, like " Son of Pain ". I shared it many times in our Fan-Page worldwide in Germany. He have so many masterpieces........hail to Dan Vasc Family/Nation.🤘🎼🔥♥️ 11:23

[@satyasunshine9737]

We all have gifts & Dan is living proof of honoring his Gift(s)!!!!! He deeply INspires me!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@RoGuimaraes]

he is in his studio which is in his old garage which is always his stage lol but he always gives it his all in his performances, tks

[@debbiewade6364]

This is outstanding ❤❤ what a performance ❤❤ thankyou for playing and your great reaction ❤❤

[@carolinevoncanon8442]

Dan always gives his all in every video. He makes you believe that it is happening to him at that exact time.

[@Spartanbot1001]

The youtube rabbit hole that is Dan's back catalog has you now. Welcome to club 😊😂. Have fun exploring.

[@kathywalls6342]

I agree and it's the best rabbit hole ever!!!

[@jonellamoore960]

I saw Jesus in Dan’s performance. I cry every time I see this video. 🙌🏻💫☝🏻

[@some_girl_on_YT]

He is just the best.

[@kathleenguth2193]

I'm right there with him. It's like he pulls you right in.

[@meb8582]

Hauntingly beautiful, so full of raw emotion, gets me every time. Thanks for a great reaction.

[@DoreenNichols-w8f]

Phenomenal!! His interpretation of music and how he shares it with us is just phenomenal. Can’t say that word enough. Thanks for your sincere reaction. I can tell you love and enjoy music.

[@tjw1972]

I loved your reaction. You said it so right when you said he 'commands our attention'. I love how Dan just keeps pulling more out of the hat for us to see and feel. He's done such an amazing job of training and perfecting his vocal instrument. Chills! Incredible!! ♥♥

[@christmascarol87]

Such an amazing performance from Dan. He makes one feel real emotion, especially with this cover. I think it’s called “Star Quality” and he has it in abundance. Thanks so much for your great reaction my friend. 🌟🌟🌟

[@amandamckee9178]

Star Quality ~ without a doubt!!

[@kristinabassi4215]

He's so unique in what he does, how he does it... I almost feed on his voice. And I'm far from full. 🤣. Thanks again for your great reaction ❤️

[@jeandesavage-9925]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for reacting to this song! Dan doesn't just act out what he sings, he LIVES IT! He is a chamelion and can mimic voices, but his truest talent is how he enacts the story of the songs he sings.

[@debbierobbins360]

Every emotion of that performance came through the screen. I have watched this so many times and it still gets to me. Thank you for your reaction, I knew you would do a phenomenal job.

[@margijohnson5728]

When Dan tells a story, it's so intriguing, 💯 agree with you! He's really amazing. Glad you enjoyed it🥰

[@arliegage1380]

So happy you love it!!❤

[@gabibacker1053]

Thanks for your great reaction 🙏

[@romypie3725]

Don’t get tired of watching Dan singing this song and this reaction to it, it’s like a serving of hope and strength, sincerely thankful.

[@tinanichols203]

Your reaction was really great. Dan puts on a real performance everytime

[@Friesian-q6u]

Your reaction was so heartfelt and full of praise. I’ve listened to this so many times like his other songs. I never get tired of the gift of a man and his voice.

[@tinanna666]

Not on stage but on ”STAGE” in his own garage with no one there! Thx for a great reaction! 🤘🏻💓

[@pamridenour5824]

Dan sings this so much like Ian Gillian. But he ups it with theatricality. Perfect.

[@kathywalls6342]

We knew you would love it and your reaction was spot on! I have seen this as a stage musical 3 times over the years and this is by far the best rendition I've ever heard. His portrayal, as you say, with his hand gestures and facial expressions, well all round acting prowess, know no bounds - he's an artist you not only have to listen to but watch too. If Andrew Lloyd Webber had ever persuaded him to do the stage version it would have been nigh on impossible to get a ticket that's for sure but I would have paid good money to see it. Outstanding!

[@valeriebottles1584]

Great reaction video... I love it when someone else reacted like I did the first and thirty-first time I was at Gesthemane with Jesus (Dan)

[@RickiNavarro288]

Brilliant lyrics, magnificently projected. A master class. Dan Vasc is an amazing talent, and I am so grateful to be able to see him.every day if I want to ( and I DO want to!)

[@cheryla3958]

Another awesome review! I’m loving your reactions to everything Dan! I’ve listened to everyone of his covers and now I can just enjoy all the reactions! Looking forward to the next one! 🎶🎶🎶

[@linhager12]

❤❤❤❤❤ Sitting here with tears running down my face. Have seen it many times... it brings me to tears every single time... Dan is magical.... he..... not enough words to describe him.... Thank you!

[@lisawest9300]

Love his stairway to heaven cover too. Love your reactions😊

[@karinkrenn]

His performance here is captivating - and hard to beat. You have the feeling that he puts his heart and soul into it - or at least he conveys it convincingly. Great work. As you say - he can (almost) do it all. Thanks for this. 🎶

[@beabaldock236]

He can do it all an exceptional singer and person..❤..A lot of work to give pleasure for so many.

[@karenmurphy6028]

There is nothing he can't do! Dan actually embodies the music and makes it his own while channeling the intent of every song he performs. The emotions he's feeling and showing are real. He becomes the character. Simply superb!

[@sandycox2058]

great reaction and Dan is mesmerizing. You may want to check out Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera. Dan doesn't just sing.....he performs! You would swear he is performing for a full house on Broadway.

[@kathywalls6342]

ditto that!

[@corinareyes6106]

Believe me Nightwish couldn't even cover this the way Dan does. He is amazing at everything he does and by the way you were right Jesus Christ Superstar.:-)

[@bethehresman2720]

There are no words!!!

[@annelieshoornik]

Wow this was wonderful, I loved it and enjoyed your reaction. Have you reacted to I See Fire? This Ed Sheeran cover by Dan is also great😊

[@jarthur9168]

You are excellent in your reaction to Dan's work... I love it!

[@alannaturner6758]

Yeah Dan The Man is captivating, also his voice commands attention, WOW mindblowing💥you certainly have picked a good one 🤙💙🤘

[@cliffandruchek3979]

Absolutely 💯brilliance Dan is truly gifted if you think that gave you the chills watch the master and legend mr Ted Newley perform this amazing song from JCS . Absolutely loved your reaction especially to his scream “why” keep the reactions coming 👍👍🔥🔥🔥💯💯

[@gaylehelm2437]

Thank you for your reaction.

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

He does cover some Nightwish songs and they are amazing!!!

[@playagain963]

They're so good!

Dan gave his all but so did you. Really appreciate your reactions.

[@satyasunshine9737]

Dan is absolutely EPIC beyond words!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@irisradinger1632]

If you haven't heard (or seen) Son Of Pain, please check it out. Dan's really crying in this song. The emotions are unbelievable.

[@JuneSperry-e5k]

OMG😇😇

[@pbjabq]

Grabs my heart everytime - the Agony of the Garden portrayed with such emotion that pulls you in. Thank you

[@victoriadaversa6808]

He'd sell out a one man show again and again no doubt. Completely filled with so much emotion ❤❤❤

[@auntiethetical]

Well, you did it again. Another brilliant reaction.👍 There is never any doubt about the vocal performance we are going to witness, but this illustrates the talent of a superb actor as well. The reality is enhanced by the lack of the visible microphone that we’ve come to expect. I am in no doubt as well that Dan would be successful on Broadway, or on any stage. I guess the question is whether he would be willing and able to submit to the authority of a Director? Theatre is a collaborative process. Dan has always remained in complete control of his performance and career. I'm not even suggesting that he needs direction, only that it would be expected of him. 🤷‍♀️

[@kathywalls6342]

I very much doubt he would either - he likes complete autonomy (there's reference to this on his site going back some years when he was talking to a record label but decided against it as he didn't like what they were proposing and quite frankly he seems to be doing just fine without one!)

[@ericzeichert511]

Gethsemane is a historical event as well as a Garden in Judea. it takes place between the last supper and the trials leading to the crucifixion. Jesus asked God to take the cup from him and Tim Rice took some artistic license. This is the best cover of this I have seen, and I have seen dozens. Very nice review,

[@umarae27]

Isn't it sad how he found his followers sleeping instead of praying like he had asked. He knew he had to follow through with the plan to be the final sacrifice, but prayerful friends may have lessened the suffering or something.

[@cher6932]

Dan, version of this is so powerful, that I feel physical and emotional pain when I watch it. It takes me a while to recover. Glad you got to see this. Dan has left all his videos on his site that were done from when he started on you tube. Some of them he has redone about 6 years later and it is very interesting tonsee the progression of his skill, especially breath control and just the rounding of rough edges with training ( he has designed to keep his body heathy because the vocal cords are part of the body. And their health is affected by how healthy his body is. He doesn't eat processed foods,.He eats meat, eggs, vegetables and whole grains. He has an exercise routine, because his body is part of the performance. Singing full out, the way he does, requires a very athletic body. His self mastery, is probably like or better than someone -training for an olympic gold metal.

[@berg220-t5o]

Great performance and reaction.

Dude I hear you this is the first time hearing this song I just bought his song on Amazon and the movie that this is based on Dan you cost me $20 and it was the best $20 I have ever spent support this guy he is the real deal

[@emmslm2827]

This song is so hard to do - I have seen great versions and not great versions. But this is the perfect blend of Dan’s skills- classical and theatre and metal. This is top 5 versions for me no doubt and the others are all super famous musical theatre stars that he holds his own against. Also you have to do Make a Man Out Of You from Mulan- it’s so much fun!

[@bernicequanchi8134]

❤❤the emotions, his stage presents and of course his voice just blows me away🎉🎉

[@jerryclukey3044]

Dan has one of the most incredible voices.... I agree totally.... he could do anything in music genres!

[@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468]

I used to play electric violin in a staging of JCS for some years 25 years ago and I love the whole musical. Thank you for that reaction! BTW this goes to show how extremely old I am. :D Keep up the great work, man!

[@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468]

BTW many people sung Jesus through the years, most notably Ian Gillan of Deep Purple in 1970 and Ben Foster in a Broadway show featuring Melanie C. of the Spice Girls some years ago. She has a really fantastic voice, too.

You are the first of music videos say that Dan can sing anything in the music. I agree with you. There is nothing he can’t sing.

[@frankirish5889]

Oh my gosh!!! What a great performance from Dan’s heart, so powerful to reach into our hearts in what. Jesus actually went through as a human to endure the pain and sacrifice to pay the price of our sins to restore the relationship between His Father and us through Jesus and through his agonizing pains He prayed in the garden to Hospice Father, do POWERFUL

[@darlenefragale6550]

Thanks! Great reaction and you’re so right about his “stage” performance…I have said the same thing, that it is like watching a play unfold on stage…

I'm not really even a big fan of Jesus Christ Superstar, but on a purely performance level was absolutely blown away by Dan's vocal & theatrical portrayal of this song. I'd put it up against the originals anytime.

Awesome reaction. Check out his withcer cover Burn Butcher burn as well 🔥

Beyond words!

He does it better than Jeff Fenholt - the original Jesus Christ Superstar. I've heard Jeff do it live several times over the years, and I love Jeff to pieces, but Dan Vasc has got him beat! His voice just has so much power!

[@Strawberry-IwasIcuddlecats]

You are my favorite Dan fan!!

[@TheAnnestube]

I think one has to be a christian to know the backstory to the story of Gethsemane, and to really be captured by it. I'm not a christian, and I've only ever watched the The Jesus Christ Superstar musical once in my entire life, back when it was released, and it didn't move me then, and never cared to watch it since. But actually, I'd definitely watch it, all the way through, if Dan was playing the lead role. He does this so convincingly, both vocally and physically acting out the role. Like you say, he does this as if he's actually on a broadway stage, and not in his own garage.

[@JanVee-qc6tg]

I've been impress by some of Dan's covers, and this is pretty well done, but I much prefer the version done by Andy Kuntz and Vanden Plas. Andy has the pre-eminent voice in prog metal today , and Vanden Plas has picked up the progressive metal baton that Dream Theater dropped a couple of decades ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ_TZnuofKypbqs To get a true feel for the band, listen to their epic "On My Way To Jerusalem" - a 13 minute journey into power prog: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn6ofYpmeaqAbck
