DAVID PHELPS - I Have Nothing | Vocal Coach Reaction (& Analysis) | Jennifer Glatzhofer

[@leeannkaplan57]

Just saw him in concert 2 nights ago, he still blows the roof off at 53. He’s just fabulous!

[@michaelfrazier1971]

It's amazing, when you think that David sang this in the same key, as Whitney did!

[@alynkuster5138]

Yes He did! 52 here!

[@lynnaude-zr6rz]

Blpp...,,?ll? ⁿ

[@JoshuaMcConnellWP]

One of the greatest male singers I have heard. I’ve got to see him live solo and with the Gaither Vocal Band and both were awesome. My choir director went to church with him and he said he was their lead in the Easter musical starting in 6th grade. He has so much control over his instrument it’s unreal. He used to be straight power and he has learned how to refine it to last longer the older he has gotten.

[@GS-xt8fu]

My goodness. I am a ….good singer. Lots of training. No training would ever get me to a level like that. Very…. Very…..VERY few could. Goodness. A gift from god. Simple. Wow

[@jag03ljg]

He sang this last year at the Labor Day Barn Bash, 2 weeks after having COVID and sounded just like this, at the age of 53, the greatest tenor ever. React to "Water" a duet with his daughter, Maggie Beth she was 17 at the time, beautiful soprano voice she got from her Daddy.

[@AngieCHolland]

This man’s voice! I was excited to see this was today’s reaction and analysis. David Phelps always amazes with the gift he’s been given. If you said nothing, your expressions would speak for themselves, but your analysis of this was insightful as always. ❤️

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Just so beautiful!! The choices 👏🏼 thank you!❤️

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Just so beautiful!! The choices 👏🏼 thank you!❤️

[@mommie2fiven1angel]

Saw him in concert last night. So amazing! His voice is Heaven on Earth! I think I just sat there frozen in awe.

[@hdenisewooten2428]

Yay!!! You are reviewing David Phelps! My favorite tenor of all time.

[@donnabouldin4391]

David, David, David!!!! So happy to hear your reaction to this one Jen. In my opinion David is a legend. There isn't anything he can't sing. I have followed him for years. When I first saw that he had covered this song I was so excited, and as always, he did a jaw dropping job. I think you would enjoy reacting to his performance of "Bring Him Home." Thanks for bringing the joy as usual of diving into the core of a song.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Ooh thank you!

[@RUT812]

💯💯💯💯💯

[@larainesmith2631]

@@JenniferGlatzhoferIf you haven’t listened to David’s “Bring Him Home”, be sure to listen to the one from “Classic David Phelps”. By far the most beautiful in my opinion.

[@cheryl4569]

I love your technical reactions… I learn something everytime! David Phelps is my all time favorite male singer… at 53 he still has it and his control along with his arrangements are spectacular! Umm ummm ummm

[@alynkuster5138]

David is a master of technique.

[@TheWiseGrif]

Justin, of New York Vocal Coaching on youtube, put out a series of videos from an interview with David, it was filled with insights on how David's voice works

[@suevillarreal9315]

I'm glad you mentioned these!!

[@suevillarreal9315]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I knew you would find a 'gold mine' of vocal dynamics!!! His arrangement is so amazing!! I love watching you react and analyze perfection!!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

For sure!!! Thank you😁

[@passtheparcel2007]

He's a very controlled singer. He carefully builds it up, until u get the full impact of the song!

[@matt72148]

Let me say first. You are absolutely stunning. Second. David Phelps is phenomenal. I love your reaction. React to David Phelps "We Shall Behold Him."

[@ginnyedmister3717]

Love David! He has been blessed with an amazing voice! I’ve seen him in concerts many times over the last 25 or more years. He’s incredible! Thank you for this reaction.

[@ashleymendoza28]

I’m so excited, I have loved him forever, but I haven’t heard this yet, I’m sure it’s amazing!

[@charlesreynolds3729]

“No more night” is definitely one of his best!

[@RUT812]

And “O Holy Night”

[@maninthewilderness3208]

Obviously this guy is a forever student of voice; what a vocal athlete!!!

[@dj5510]

Hey Jenn I love your reactions and analytics...I am a worship lead vocalist at my church and I was trained vocally as a teenager and throughout the years and I love hearing different techniques of how to sing a note with different vowels and shapes and breathes and your breakdown of this amazing song by David was awesome! Loved it and Mr Phelps has been my idol singer since I first heard him in the mid 90s in which I'm 43 now so yea a long time of learning how to sing better! So thank you for more depth into my gift! 🙌🤗

[@godislove8038]

I think you would enjoy reacting to David’s “Water.” He wrote the music. It has a theatrical presentation, but incorporates several styles in the song. Between David and his daughter Maggie Beth, the choir, the back up singers and of course the band, there is a lot going on! All of it just wonderful and unique.

[@dannygraham6304]

My phrase to several people is...do you know why David sings it like that? Because he can! Unreal!

[@dianeritthaler7792]

David is AMAZING. Whitney loved his voice ❤

[@davidelkins571]

Yes! I hoped you would do this one. His voice is amazing. He has a song called No More Night and its amazing as well. Thanks Jen, love your reaction vids.

[@dekkadoll]

So nice to have a vocal coach react to David. I fell back in love with him when I saw this lol. Nessun Dorma is another performance you should do. Popera! Thanks again. Btw David was 52 when he records this.

[@janreason1518]

I realize this reaction was 4 months ago, and I watched it when you first posted it. However, I have listened to it several times. Your explanations of how David uses his voice are so interesting to me. They call me back to my younger days when I just sang for myself. I now more fully understand the things I was doing with my voice. It brings me joy to know that even without any training, I was able to belt, use my vibrato, and convey emotion in my phrasing. I'm even learning to discern singers' use of head and chest voice. Thank you so much for enriching my love of music. I only recently realized in a deeper way what a gift from the Lord my voice was. You are a great teacher.

[@DanielEarnest]

He’s one of my favorite tenors 😊

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Amazing!!!

[@nicolehickey155]

You give a great reaction. Thanks. He is such a great performer and stylist. I enjoy listening to him. Hard to beat! 😊

[@dianahinshaw9473]

Got this notification on my way to work and then had to sit on my phone until I was home - I love this song and I loved your reaction/analysis. Thank you.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you 😊

[@cincinnatipedalsteel4347]

“Christmas in a chord progression…” Absolutely!

[@ddmrbd3476]

You should react to Gaither Vocal Band - sinner saved by grace It was an old band where david phelps sang with The best harmony GOOSEBUMPS!

[@ASyler]

Your breakdowns of David are the BEST. Love it! He really is one of the greatest male vocalists of all time. Speaking of his amazing dynamics, there are times he's doing it on the fly... I saw a video of him in a concert with the Gaithers where they did a reprise if a BIG ending of a song three times that focused him (as most of the big ending ones do) and you could tell that the reprises weren't planned (usually you can tell when they are) and he did them each very differently... the last version he went opera and you could tell he just decided in the moment to go there. Anyway, a few that you should do next of David for sure... No More Night is one of the staple David Phelps songs, The Dream is one of my favorites that shows so many dynamic changes that's just so insane and beautiful (with power harmony at the end), and We Shall Behold Him is also another where he has incredible dynamics... he literally says the title words like twenty times but they're different every time. Just masterful every performance. Can't wait to see which one you do next!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thanks so much!

[@dj5510]

The song you're referring to that he did 3 reprises on was GLORIOUS FREEDOM...and yes definitely wasn't planned but when you got a live audience having different variations makes the congregation feel the power of Jesus in different ways! 🙌🤗

[@cfmiles]

Going toe to toe with Whitney Houston is a giant task.......but David stepped up to the plate and nailed it!

[@alynkuster5138]

He has been up to a f5 when he was younger. I don't know if he still can. A true countertenor.

[@paulaanderson7691]

He's phenomenal! So handsome, and this song is so innocently steamy - just to have a man sing this to a woman...if she didn't go running back she's a fool!!!

[@Picnic_Chicken]

We Shall Behold Him by David Phelps will blow you away. Maybe the next reaction you do of him?

[@sazimardas]

I Loved your reaction and comments. It was on the spot and very much explaining different vocal techniques. Thank you Jennifer.

[@rongotwalt4487]

Great reaction Jenn ! I saw him with the Gaithers vocal group way back maybe 20 years ago in Texas ! I didn't realize he's a solo artist now and quite successful ! A wonderful tenor voice different from the Christian gospel band he was with ! I thought when I heard this he was a theatrical singer so crisp, clean and clear notes ! Thank you for this! It's a great rendition of a classic song and so well performed ! 👍🇨🇦❤️

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

It’s so beautiful and just stunning! Thank you😁

[@sstrader1]

This indeed is the most comprehensive, detailed critique I have heard in quite sometime. Big DF fan and love to hear knowledgeable experts in the field share their thoughts! New subscriber here, and would love to see more.

[@davidh.4649]

Jennifer! Started out on time (10th like) but had to pause some. So let's see what we've got today. Ohh, a very big song that needs a powerful voice to pull off. And it sounds like David's up to the task! I can reach some of the notes but don't have much power up there. LOL! 12:20 "That was Christmas in a chord progression." 😂 And some of your expressions ... as Angie said they tell the story! At 21:54 I thought ... we're going to need to get Jen a seat belt for her chair! 🤣 Safety first in reaction and analysis. 😁 As always a wonderful reaction and analysis Jennifer. 😊

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Safety first, always 😂 hahah! Thank you!! Such a great cover of this song!

[@mailidong3576]

Note his original compositions in the Game Changer album other solo releases- stirring our souls… This video is when he’s much older than O Holy Night- he is in his 50’s and what a clear expressive voice. Your break down is detailed and unique from other coach reactions- Please do more as others have suggested!

[@lisalister8002]

One of the greats! TY for this post.

[@tonischwarting6189]

Best of the best! Thanks for the reaction!

Great reaction. Love David. He's the best

[@TheBassFreak]

Your analysis is very comprehensible and well articulated!! awesome video!

[@theretrosavage]

David is in his early 50's now and is still coming strong with it

[@terrisalser7721]

Next should be Hello Beautiful. Have tissues ready or for a more classical sound try Ava Maria or Nessum Dorma

[@suevillarreal9315]

OH Yes! I've thought about requesting 'Hello Beautiful' and "Nessum Dorma" also!

[@Watjalukinat]

David Phelps is amazing.

[@nanangtaryana995]

Good job Jen., amazing reacted.., thank you.,

[@jamesblanton3744]

Had David chosen to go into popular music instead of Christian music he would have been a mega star imo

[@RUT812]

True but I’m so glad he decided to glorify God with his talent rather than take the riches & acclaim of this world, which will never satisfy & will pass away. His music ministry helps many, many people. ❤

[@jamesblanton3744]

@@RUT812 I 100 percent agree with you he made the right decision in glorifying God

[@Silverado21]

I see your point but what you do not know, he is in popular music. His accolades speaks for themselves. He is one of the top tenors in the world is just one note of his accomplishments. He does not need "popular" music to make him who he was created to be.

[@alynkuster5138]

He really is pretty big, anyway.

[@RUT812]

@@Silverado21 Oh how horrible that he also sings some secular music, 🙄🙄🙄

Hi Jen,please listen to "Just as I am" by David Phelps.Its by far one of his best performances and its just epic how he control his breath.

[@billdurham8575]

David Phelps is just an awesome singer.. He really did justice to that song. Please review Sandi Patty "We Shal Behold Him". . I know its a Christian tune but the voice is incredible.

[@aliciaharris386]

Sandi is great but David’s version is even better.

[@larrywoods3938]

If you’re a fan, as I am, you should listen to his song “End of the Beginning”. It gives me chills every single time I listen to it.

I would love to watch your breakdown of David singing with his daughter Maggie Beth. “Water” is the title.

[@LorileeGA]

I love when professionals react to him because you can point out all the little details that add to his unbelievable talent. I would have loved seeing him sing this live with Whitney. I’m sure they could add a second vocal for the chorus and alternate singing the lead. Sorry-I don’t know the technical details of what I’m trying to say 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just know their voices together would be as amazing as when Whitney & Mariah did “When You Believe”.

[@lance2534]

More David 😮

[@SandyWills-ic6og]

First time I've seen your reactions....so glad to see appreciation for all the nuances of David's beautiful voice. Please react to Just As I Am, Gentle Savior, and Unchained Melody

I would love for you to react to the Gaither Vocal Band "Let Freedom Ring". It has some great solo moments from David and the other members but also shows how he can blend in with the other members of the group and the harmonies are ❤.

As someone who does not know the detail mechanics when it comes to vocals or arrangements of a song. And when you break down the potential of a vocalist. I enjoyed the detail analyzing as you are educating us especially to those like my self who never realized how much work and complexity is involved in order to reach and maximize a vocalist potential😮 Well, as a novelist like myself who wish I could at least hold a note but cannot sing without simultaneously involving 6 notes Lol 😮.
