David Phelps' Stunning Rendition of I Have Nothing

[@leeannkaplan57]

He’s 52 here and recording it at his farm in Tennessee. I’ve seen him in concert recently 3xs, he is extraordinary.

[@danapratola]

David's anointing is serious. I LOVE watching people realize there's no one better, LOL.

[@drawncept8391]

More David. The best tenor on the planet needs some attention. Thanks, guys. I had fun.

[@godislove8038]

David does his own arrangements and always finds a way to make it his own without losing the original message of the song. The highest note in this performance is D5, I believe 1 step higher than Whitney’s. Whitney was in a class by herself and will always be loved and admired.

[@RotcivVanDahl]

The cello part just before the long note and during it is epic.

[@lucyjune]

As good a man, husband, and father as he is a singer - a true man of God.

[@AZH57]

My favorite male singer of all time. Many you should react to: Oh Holy Night (the one with the GVB Christmas where he's wearing a green sweater), Ghost Town from his Freedom album, No More Night, We Shall Behold Him, and too many more to count!

[@ASyler]

Yeah, David is one of the greatest male vocalists of all time. Great reaction! First time I heard him do this song at a concert, he just walked out after intermission and just CRUSHED it like it was nothing. Hope to see you guys do more from him.

[@AliceNaquin]

Not one of the best but the absolute best

[@AliceNaquin]

I'm in Love thank you

[@AliceNaquin]

It is just that good every time I've heard it many many times

[@AliceNaquin]

[@josephcollins7393]

David is incredible

[@southrnbygrace]

One of my favorite things about this video, other than David's magnificent voice, is the way the scenes go back and forth from black and white to color. The visual of that is simply stunning.

[@dschlopes2734]

Best in the world!

[@klrdvanlal53]

one of the best react, David is my favourite singer

[@Darlene-p7r]

More DAVID!!!

[@TheTwerkEthicShow]

Right?! No problem!

[@nicolehickey155]

Love David. I could listen to him continually. ❤😊

[@nicolehickey155]

I have fun!

[@leeannkaplan57]

He also has a There is a River version on his channel, where he sings it solo on sitting on the edge of the stage. Wowsers!

[@godislove8038]

Leeannkaplan- the vocal control on that performance is phenomenal.

[@musicsweet2833]

I had fun! ❤

[@msmith5121]

David is the best male vocalist in the world and has been for the past 25 years or more. I have seen him 11 times live from the front row, been to his home twice for Barn Bash events and met him and his family several times so I can tell you from experience...he is the best and it's not even close.

[@hellislife13]

nah van morrison was

[@nannykat1057]

He's JUST THAT GREAT IN PERSON also!!!! He's incomparable. The best. I've seen him every year for the past 7 years....and will continue to go until he or I aren't able. Thank y'all. Howdy from Texas! 🤠🤠

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Please react to The Gaither Vocal Band singing: “Let Freedom Ring” live at Carnegie Hall

[@cheryl4569]

I had fun! More David please!!!!

[@terrisalser7721]

You should react to Let Freedom Ring live at Carnegie Hall . Amazing

[@lucyjune]

It gives me goosebumps every time.

[@rljay1941]

I have the wonderful privilege of knowing David since his high school days in Tomball, TX. His God given talent is unsurpassed, in my humble opinion. Looking forward to going to his Barn Bash performance August 31!

[@carynvanwyk]

I saw David in concert it was amazing. My favorite song of his is No More Night.

[@johnfels6339]

When he sings that I cry. It is just so beautiful.

[@KP-do2ss]

New subscriber here! "Fly again"! He wrote that song. Beautiful!

[@paws4me22]

You guys should react to David’s duet with his daughter Maggie Beth called Water David wrote and arranged the music and asked Gloria Gaither to help with the words. It’s an amazing piece of vocal and musical genius. It’s based on the conversation J sis had with the woman at the well.

[@rllangevin3841]

Great reaction! Love David Phelps' voice. One of his newer songs, Dead Man Rising is phenomenal - watch to the end. Can't wait to see you reaction.

[@lynlockrey7372]

Another amazing performance from David. What a performance, what a voice! Thanks for your comments on this brilliant performance. Lyn Lockrey, Australia.

[@fbirdfan]

I had fun!

[@johnfels6339]

He is amazing. I saw him in concert.

[@lindaslater7782]

Just subscribed, and i had fun. I love David Phelps so i hope you keep going down the rabbit hole of his music! You'll be amazed!

[@trishbillings1525]

Stunning! Simply a cello, a piano, and David Phelps! Whitney had a full orchestra, as I recall and, yes, she was amazing! Phelps cut this at his house during a pandemic! I have no words. You guys reacting is quasi-serious, studied, and so much fun! Please, more Phelps reactions: Hello Beautiful, I remember What We Thought Love Was, and Song for Sinners. Also, so many new selections: Dead Man Rising, Bridge Over Troubled Water, etc.

[@michellehorn1711]

Give his daughter, Maggie Beth Phelps a listen. Especially her song, "He's Still My Child". David wrote it years ago and put it away, not realizing that it would one day be his own daughter that was absolutely perfect for the song!

[@aliciaharris386]

He’s Still my child is wonderful and has a great backstory for sure! However, I feel people overlook Maggie Beth’s performances on songs like Agnus Dei, Gesu Bambino and even His Eye Is On The Sparrow. Each are equally noteworthy, beautiful and highlight her beautiful soprano voice perfectly.

[@beverlywhitehurst3364]

You should listen to David's version of The Star Spangled Banner from the 90's. He sings the first and 3rd verses

[@davidbocanegraramirez9480]

Love your reaction!!

[@AlabamaAmy77]

I had fun!! Love David!! He is the GOAT!!

[@SoniaRose71]

From what I heard he and Whitney knew one another in school

[@mommie2fiven1angel]

❤❤❤❤❤ I’ve seen him live with the GVB and solo at his Barn Bash and he just amazes me every time! The GVB also has a stunning version of The Star Spangled Banner ya’ll should check out with David, Michael, Wes, Mark and Bill

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Please react to David Phelps Stories and Songs Volume One and Volume Two. The songs on these 2 cds are unbelievable!!! Dead Man Walking He’s Alive Just As I Am And all of the others🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@dianeritthaler7792]

He's AMAZING ❤🎉

[@istanlleyg7]

Make more reaction with Daviid Phelps!!

[@donnathompson7986]

Need to hear the Gaither band sing “The Love that Will Not Let Me Go”. Alcopelo.

[@jeremyjames4417]

i thought Gabriel Henrique had the best cover of this song but with all artistic disciplines there are levels to greatness. This is that next level. This is the best cover of this song I have heard. Trying to cover Whitney is no easy task. The powerful perfection from David Phelps is a wonderful addendum to this song. Noy surprised really. This guy also has hands down the best version of "oh Holy Night". When you consider the legends who have also tackled that song - Mariah Carey, Celine, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, Christina, Charlotte Church, Josh Groban. Davids version is just better. Check it out.

[@royhowze4023]

So well sung, and so clear and strong.

[@dmac2990]

I had fun😁😁

[@yournewzealandfamily]

What's Up NZedders! HIII! 😂

[@anngeorge5126]

I had fun. Hahaha

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Please react to “ End of The Beginning” written by David Phelps

[@CountryChristanMama]

I don’t know if you have. But check out Whintley Phipps Amazing Grace. He is another great artist.

[@Xfactor444-x4n]

You guys should react to Avery Wilson covering this or him covering any whitney song. You'll be floored

[@justinsopay701]

you should check out his songs Nessun Dorma and Star-Spangled Banner

[@melindatintle9728]

I had fun :)

[@stephanieellis5399]

I would love to know what David Foster (composer and original producer) thinks of this cover.

[@paws4me22]

I’ve wondered that too.

[@melaniesander2569]

Love your hat!! WE ARE…..💙🤍🏈🦁

[@uploadingjoy9120]

We Shall Behold Him and No More Night are other great ones by David.

[@mariannevantriest3953]

[@veronicasilva7956]

Up

[@veronicasilva7956]

Reajam à Gabriel Henrique. Irão se surpreender ❤

[@kurtischandler]

Check out one of his latest songs. He does Bridge Over Troubled Waters with his daughters

[@carolynparker613]

No one so far as ever beaten Whitney Houston’s version. But this was very good. If think Adam Lambert would knock it out of the park. I think he’s one the best male singers I have EVER heard. Check out him singing “ I Believe” a Cher song he performed at the 41st Annual Kennedy Center honors. He was on American Idol. He didn’t win but he should have and everyone knew it. He became the lead singer of the group Queen after the lead singer died. He sung any genre they gave them perfectly. There has NEVER another on American Idol anywhere with that kind voice and range.

[@sunsabre]

Listen guys this performance was on par with Whitney. And David is every bit as talented as she was, probably more. Yes it is mist definitely Whitney's song but he sang a good match for her.

[@user-td6fq7or8d]

How do we pay for a reaction

[@stephanieellis5399]

I know it's just a turn of phrase. I do. But I don't like it when people say "nobody's better than so-and-so at such-and-such". Whitney was amazing when she sang live. No argument. But people have said the same about David Phelps. They've said the same about singers from around the world in various styles and genres...probably since people began singing professionally (maybe before that). But the thing is, there are hundreds of artists you've never heard. Neither have I. And if/when we hear them we may find out that, for example, they blow Whitney out of the water, when it comes to singing live. It's unlikely that it would be that dramatic, but you get my drift. And I know that the reply will most likely be "it's implied" when people say this. But I'd like to argue that many people on KZbin, on the intetnet, are not native English speakers and things that are "implied" to native speakers are not always understood to be implied. Not only that, but there are many neurodivert people (autism, ADHD) for whom "implied" meanings are very difficult to assess. I guess, I just prefer it when people say "I've never heard a better live performer than Whitney Houston". Not only does it do what I've mentioned above, but even the phrase "nobody's better" is an opinion but doesn't really allow for discussion or a difference of opinion. Whereas "I've never heard anyone better" allows for someone to say, without contradicting, that their favourite, or the best they've heard is someone else.

[@Jacob-ec9og]

sorry but phelps is better then whitney. He sung it in her key & did wayyyy better then her. Its not close.

[@helenosilveira8634]

no one sings Whitney Houston better than Gabriel Henrique

[@TobinHurley]

I had fun!
