David Phelps - End of the Beginning (Very Uplifting!)

[@Sammylu-greenbeatsred]

I love Gospel Music. This was a beautiful song and it looks like David Phelps wrote the lyrics. I've never heard of him but I enjoyed this very much. I was just like the guy sitting in the chair next to him on the plane looking at Jesus and religion as a crutch for the weak. I believed in God but I didn't know Jesus. Never read the Bible never went to church just partied as hard as I could. Jesus caught me like a fish on a hook. The most beautiful woman I ever saw told me she was a born again Christian. I had to know what she meant. I didn't get the girl but Jesus got me.

David Phelps is revered as one of the greatest tenors alive. Check out his version of Oh Holy Night now that it is Christmas. His range, dynamics, and power are on full display.

[@rickharms1]

Bull shit. Mediocre at best.

[@slongf15]

Hey Maddy! Thank you for doing my request. I'm glad you enjoyed it. David is arguably the best male singer out there today but he chose to use the talent God gave him for His honor and glory so many people dont know of him. His version of O Holy Night is, in my opinion, the best version of that.

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

@slongf15 • I agree 1000%! His voice is like no other!! Truly the best male vocalist this side of Heaven!

[@cheryllovell2867]

Agreed!

[@ronallen6578]

It is AMAZING❤❤❤

[@margaretkur8161]

I knew David before he became famous (before he joined the Gaither Vocal Band). He came to our church for a couple years to help us with our Passion Play in the early 1990s. Standing on the same stage with him, hearing him sing "Arise" (can't find it now) gave me "happy chills" down my spine! Every rehearsal and performance we'd be standing side by side on stage for the finale, which was the Ascension, singing the Hallelujah Chorus. What a thrill! He's a classically trained tenor and I'm a classically trained soprano so I relished every moment of it. BTW he has an opera CD. It was sad when he left the Gaither Vocal Band. I don't see him ln TV as much as I'd like. One thing I remember about David: he sings for the Lord and never acted like a "star". He was very quiet. I personally feel the same. When I used to sing publicly (retired now) I sang for the Lord. My songs were a prayer and or a message. I never liked applause. Say, "Amen." My late mother always said the day I stop making her cry would be the day I should stop singing. David has that effect on me. No apolause except inside but outwardly I say, "Amen." For God's glory!

[@robertscherer963]

Maddy, now is the season. If you want to hear the "Pipes" of an angel, you must listen to David's "Oh Holy Night" live (he's wearing a green sweater). OMG!!!

[@cheryl4569]

Pipes is an understatement! David Phelps is phenomenal! Please do more David! You’ll be awestruck!

[@drawncept8391]

Oh HOLY Night. (Bill and Gloria Gaither version)...need to hear it.

[@francesmarsha2986]

His dad wanted him to be a doctor. But David wanted to be a singer. So his dad sent him to college to be classically trained. Glad you liked David Phelps! Also listen to his recording of Oh Holy Night! It is amazing!

[@nicolehickey155]

Thanks for reacting to David. Fall on your knees is a great Christmas song that he rearranged. He wrote the end of the beginning ❤😊

[@MaddyReactions]

Oh wow!!

[@johnrodrigues5974]

It took David a few years, but he finally finished writing this song and it was totally worth the wait.

[@normagordon1375]

David Phelps is heaven in a word! He can do no wrong according to me... Been following him ever since he was first introduced by the Gaithers and he never disappoints, doesn't hurt that he carries the anointing. He is as sweet, genuine and humble as they come💯❤️✝️🇯🇲

[@par500dragon7]

His O Holy Night (live from 2003 - green sweater) is phenomenal... and spirit-filled.

[@samf.6298]

David Phelps has an amazing voice, well worth checking out more of his music. And being that we're in the Christmas season, one you should check out for sure is Oh Holy Night live with Bill and Gloria Gaither back in 2000...goose bumps!! Great reaction as always!

[@MaddyReactions]

Cool!

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

"YES PLEASE!"

[@par500dragon7]

David is a gift from God to the world... every time i hear this, i tear up.

[@davidscroggins7728]

Wow Maddy ! I can't believe your doing David Phelps !! You're just sctachimg the service! Greatest male voice on planet Earth is David Phelps. Greatest female voice is Lara Fabian ! More David please ! You won't be disappointed ! Thanks Maddy

[@RotcivVanDahl]

David has been rated one of the best tenors of all time by a few online rating sites. A couple of them even had him ahead of Pavarotti. I would agree

[@petergreen3589]

I wouldn’t normally listen to this type of thing, BUT, that was not half bad and delivers a message of hope as opposed to the usual doom and gloom.

[@MaddyReactions]

Right!! lol

[@korydyer8200]

David Phelps is a true hidden gem and isn't known outside the Gospel music genre. His cover of O Holy Night is amongst the best out there. It is definitely worth checking out! Love your videos, vibe, and characters. Keep up the amazing work!

[@shilohauraable]

This is an amazing and unique approach to sharing the Gospel! David is an amazing talent!

[@dewman0269]

David is classically trained from baylor university in Texas where he studied different genres of music... During his time at baylor university he also assisted as a strength voice coach... Please check out his other songs... It's a good rabbit hole to go down... Great reaction, Maddy... Keep being awesome !!!...

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

THANK YOU for your sincere reaction to this live performance, and THANK YOU to the person who requested my favorite Christian male vocalist, David Phelps! Please, there's another must-see "live" performance by David, singing "O Holy Night". There are more than one of his versions, however, and I suggest the one that has David wearing a green sweater. And probably has the most views. It takes place in NYC's Madison Square Garden. Since Christmas is the perfect time to focus on some of these beloved sacred "carols", I hope you will consider this request! First time watching your Channel tonite, and I'm sure I'll have many more evenings to enjoy watching in the future! THANK YOU!

[@douglasheath411]

I love to watch people react to David Phelps' voice as he gives all he praise to the Lord Jesus. He is truly blessed and anointed with talent. This recording if from back in about the year 2000. 23 years later, he has written and recorded many more songs. Mostly Contemporary Christian, but if you have the taste for operatic, classical and popular music, he is just as good with that. It's amazing that there are still people who have never heard him. So many reaction artist started following him with the song "OH HOLY NIGHT" from a Gaither Homecoming Concert Video in 2000. So many great songs he has done. "WE SHALL BEHOLD HIM" by Dottie Rambo I belive. He has done Whitney Houston's "I HAVE NOTHING", THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS "UNCHAINED MELODY", "NESUM DORMA". He has done several duets including "THE PRAYER", "MAGIC CARPET RIDE" with Sandy Patti, "WATER" with his daughter Maggie Beth Phelps, and many more

[@msmith5121]

David is the best male vocalist in the world and has been for the past twenty five years. I know...I have seen him live 11 times live from the front row, been to his home for two Barn Bash events, met him and his family multiple times...there is no one better today.

[@ASyler]

So awesome that you reacted to David! He is one of the greatest male vocalists of all time. You should react to more from him. Every performance is an absolute JOY. Christmas time is perfect to check out his O Holy Night... Enjoy!

[@MBGolfer]

David Phelps is the greatest tenor that ever walked the earth. Possibly the greatest singer in history. Listen to him do oh holy night.

[@mickieshannongray-wharton7110]

David wrote the music and words and developed the technique on this song. I love it.

[@barbburns9810]

I'm always looking for reactions to David Phelps So thank you so much, he has so many great songs out, very well known and the gospel industry. I suggest you listen and react to his medley of Ave Maria / The Lord's prayer which a lot is done acapella. Absolutely beautiful. Also for Christmas o Holy night from his holiday celebration concert is breathtaking😊

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh!! Bet they are lovely!

[@IAMisLove]

👍👍Very, very nice!! 🖖❤

[@kellymarklong]

Check out David’s arrangement of the hymn “O Love That Will Not let Me Go”. The Westminster Chorus had a beautiful performance of it an old European cathedral.

[@MaddyReactions]

Oh wow

[@Cashcrop54]

David has a remarkable voice for any kind of music. He'd be very famous if he went into pop music. I'm glad he has stayed in Gospel. Listen to "No More Night". It's is moving and powerful.

[@mgeriepa4131]

LISTEN TO MORE OF HIS MUSIC

[@MaddyReactions]

Definitely!

[@davidgregory5166]

Best concert I think I have heard. I'm 64. More than seeing Patti LaBelle, Tina Turner, James Taylor. I'm a Jew, and I honor and respect him. I believe in a God who knows love more than any of us. Pull up his versions of secular songs that take on a faith based message: Unchained Melody, I Want To Know What Love Is, Nessun Dorma, etc.

[@jamesalec1321]

Thank you Maddy.

[@MaddyReactions]

You are so welcome!🤗

[@Reardonsteel236]

I am very spiritual, yet Chrstians call me an athiest, which is fair. Still, history tells us that Judeo Christian values built the western world and culture, and if the cross falls, our nations will fallow, therefore it is worth fighting for. This was nice.❤👍🇺🇸🇪🇺🇮🇱🗽⚖️💪🌄

[@MaddyReactions]

Hugs 💗

[@ronallen6578]

Maddy, NO ONE was brought to earth to save ALL of humanity except Jesus. Accept him into your life and into your heart and you WILL be granted an eternity in heaven with our friend and Father!!

[@dianeritthaler7792]

David wrote this Amazing song❤

[@ronallen6578]

Hi Maddy. 1st time viewer. I've run out of adverbs, adjectives and words to describe David Phelps. He's phenomenal, end of discussion!! David is HUGE gospel music.I have 2 suggestions for you to consider. ANYTHING by Lucy Thomas and Voctave!!!!

[@TimH-b2t]

David Phelps just recently performed I have nothing by Whitney Houston in the original key. You got to watch and listen.

[@cheryllovell2867]

He is best singer in the world! He uses his talent for God’s glory!

[@karlschmitt6359]

It actually has nothing to do with being positive, this is God's Word The Bible and that trumps everything else! Christian music blows secular music out of the water! It's not about being positive it's about preaching God's Word and if it offends and brings people to repentance and receive Christ! It's about God's truth that we are depraved wretched sinners and the sacrifice of Jesus is the only thing can reconcile man to God! Yes being positive is a good thing, but not at the expense of people's souls! David is a wonderful man of God and is the best tenor in the business, no disrespect to Austin, Rob, and Adam Rupp of Home Free, but David is in a league of his own! Please check out No More Night from David Phelps, also he has something on youtube called David Phelps most high and resonate notes, your jaw will continually be dropping with the notes he hits! Thank you for reacting to David Phelps!

[@rljay1941]

Listen to his Whitney Houston cover of I Have Nothing- to be truly amazed with his voice and presentation. He is truly blessed by God with his talent! Another religious song is Just As I Am-amazing song. He sang with the Gaither Vocal Band for several years.

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Please react to David Phelps singing: No More Night O Holy Night He’s Alive Let Freedom Ring We Shall Behold Him

[@cindyfoster3586]

Hey Maddy, I noticed several have asked you to listen to David doing "Oh Holy Night". If you do, please make sure it is the green sweater version at the Alabama Theatre. It is the best version out there!!

[@delinarandoma1053]

Absolutely loved your reaction! I was in Church with you! May God bless you through the new year

Wow, his wife has his exact date of birth! David Norris Phelps (born October 21, 1969) is an American Christian music vocalist, songwriter, vocal arranger, and producer who is best known for singing tenor in the Gaither Vocal Band David's wife is Lori Purtle Phelps (also born on October 21, 1969). They have four children: Callie, Maggie Beth, David Grant and Coby. Callie, Maggie and Grant can be seen on the Gaither Homecoming videos Christmas in the Country and A Time for Joy. The whole family is featured on the video, The Best of David Phelps from the Homecoming Series. All four children sing on the Classic video, as well.

[@brendarobinson2154]

I was on the front row of one of David's solo concerts a few days after his birthday. His wife was running his merchandise table. Someone from the audience shouted out a Happy Birthday, David. He thanked them and explained that his wife's birthday is the exact same day as his. He then said, " But I was born a few hours before she was so that makes me the boss, right?" He then looked shifty eyed and said, " Lori didn't hear me say that, did she?" Everyone had a huge laugh. Even David. He is very humble and has a wicked sense of humor. Awesome Man of God.

[@Darrell7777]

​@@brendarobinson2154Haha, thanks for sharing that story! He seems like a good man and very talented as well 😎👍

[@mauricethorne5890]

Get "Let Freedom Ring" by the Gaither Vocal Band. David is amazing in this song as well. You will never forget it.

[@clarencehuffman9025]

There is a song by the Gaither Vocal Band It's called chain breaker live I believe you would really like this one

[@knotcensored932]

God bless you, Maddy! Merry, merry Christmas!

Same to you!

[@douglasheath411]

He also has many recordings with the Gaither Vocal Band. "THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER", which he also recorded with his own group, with a unique twist on the second verse to the music of LED ZEPPELIN, which he arranged. Absolutely Spectacular

[@margaretkur8161]

Do you mean No More Night? Makes me cry. Another one is Fly Again. It reminds me of my late father. That's one song I can't sing along to without crying.
