David Phelps Upper Belted Notes (G4-F#5)!! Belting Compilation 2020 [UPDATED]

[@TeddyLappage]

At 4:32 he actually holds the G the whole way through to the end of the song, that's Wes Hampton up on the B, but it's more visible when they repeat it the second and third time in the full video. Plus, you can tell it's Wes because he has a tendency to spread to a slightly more nasally sound towards the end of his upper chest/mixed sustained notes and the depth/rate of the vibrato is a little different. Great video!

[@TheBassFreak]

Damn... your're right. Thanks so much for informing me :D

[@shotarolee5021]

Its really interesting how similiar wes and david sounds when they blend in

[@matthewfortener3043]

I noticed that too

[@Pocket121993]

Thanks for someone mentioning this. I've noticed on a few videos they credit David with that note.

[@angelambicho]

4:38 you can hear Wes Hamopton and David Phelps sing B4, and at the end od the note, Hampton sing a tired B4 and at the same time there are a clean David's B4

[@lancemill5683]

By far the greatest tenor I've ever heard. Not even a contest. But he doesn't get the recognition he deserves cause he's a Christian singing gospel music

[@nevergiveupnevergivein7655]

He gets plenty of recognition. Gospel music is a huge industry that makes billions every year. Don't be deceived into thinking that these are people who do this for free while working regular jobs the same as anyone else. They are performers who make millions.

[@codslaugh]

And so humble

[@catherinemelnyk]

@@nevergiveupnevergivein7655 I'd like to add that singers such as David Phelps were basically in the employ of Bill Gaither who probably made the most money from these wonderful singers. Neither you or I know what their contracts with Gaithers contained so your assumption that the singers with the Gaither Vocal Band made "millions" is purely conjecture on your part. BUT I do believe David Phelps did better than some of the other talent because of his remarkable gifts not only singing but musical arrangements where he is equally gifted.

[@nevergiveupnevergivein7655]

@@catherinemelnyk the gaithers isn't their only means of income. The point is that they are doing it for a living, as opposed to having another job and performing as pure service to God and the Church.

[@catherinemelnyk]

@@nevergiveupnevergivein7655 In a way I get your point. But I didn't pay a penny to hear Godly music on Christmas. What I do know is the world would be a worse place without them. Finally do you believe Handel never made a pwnny on his masterpiece Messiah? Or the Michaelangelo never earned a florin from his statue of David etc.?

[@codyash3802]

It’s even more apparent how badass his technique is when you see the band around him with guys struggling to hit notes lower than he’s resonating while he’s looking casual and comfortable. He’s *incomparable.*

[@aimanisahac]

The most underrated tenor. But it's okay. He choose to use his talents for the Lord rather than for money and fame.

[@redashelton2173]

I do hope your right about that His singing can not be beat by anyone out there today You can tell he works hard to improve his beautiful craft God continue to bless him🙏

[@nevergiveupnevergivein7655]

They make millions. Don't be deceived. Praise God for their work, but they don't do it for free.

[@jeanmarkd12345]

@@nevergiveupnevergivein7655 well they do need to make a living

[@nevergiveupnevergivein7655]

@@jeanmarkd12345 never said they don't. But let's not act like they have taken vows of poverty. The comment to which I responded said that they have chosen to give their talent to the Lord INSTEAD of choosing to make money. That's patently false, so I corrected.

[@ramsestamayo2407]

Well the church pays him too

[@DavidKrautscheid]

those f5 belts are one of the most intense i have ever heard. they have an overtone spectrum i never heard before. they are like a trumpet. wow

Obviously a degree in vocal performance….David knows exactly how to place his voice….diaphragmatic control is unbelievable, plus superb diction!

[@markdavidalagos570]

His voice is beyond amazing.

[@josephineprozik5228]

Outstanding! He just blows me away! Best voice on earth and used to glorify God. Also, I believe that it is the reason why the beauty, depth, power and brilliance of his voice has only been enriched with time. He's a model of greatness

[@zenforhorses]

Can't get enough of David Phelps 😍 Mark Lowry either ❤ not being a musician I didn't know the notes but I have all this music and I've listened to each and every one many many times ❤ There are so many male tenors but very few, if any, go that high. LOVE this!! Thank you Jesus ✝️

LOL Man the last G5 was incredible and to have this kind of a person is an inspiration to be free and sing every range of your voice!! Great video :) Can you as well try bass singers and their low ranges?

[@TheBassFreak]

Most definitely!

[@JesseDavis7373]

If you're a bass, risk at your own peril. Not recommended unless you are falsetto IMO.

[@bethf1111]

Youre videos of David Phelps are the best.

[@TheBassFreak]

Thank you!

[@thechosenone4293]

david was always a great singer nobody just did not see it . hey mean love your vid going to sub to your channel

[@Lammi876]

I also see Wes going to the higher note in a song called your time will come, Adam crabs goes down and Wes goes up that’s a great choreography. I really love that song tho, glorious freedom it is. David held that G effortlessly tho. Wes is awesome and I looove hi but he still has lots to learn from David...so does guy PENROD. But all Gaither singer are classy I love em all

[@KajiVocals]

Awesome compilation! Thank you!! Would you mind making a compilation like this for another Gaither tenor - Larnelle Harris? He has a more solid upper belting technique than Phelps (like D5+) and is a trained leggiero tenor. If you look at the Range Planet, there should be a thread I made on his range. He has some belted notes up to G5. Sadly some of his records are missing so there's probably some notes that we don't know of.

[@TheBassFreak]

Ill definitely look into that! Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@jonathonprice2053]

@@TheBassFreak Steve green is another one of the old Gaither tenors that has incredible range. I think he made it to G5 on one of the first two Gaither Vocal Band records. Another one to have fun with! Subscribed to see your future ones like this video! Looking forward to it

[@juanhoffmann4096]

Great video, this video should have more views

[@musikavatarethan]

amazing and incredibly accurate!!! i will say this though, everything from the last F5 and higher were not belted, but in head voice/falsetto

David has a gift from GOD

[@GretheJonker]

[@okebaram]

How haveI never seen all these highest belting range videos? Above C#5, I only knew of one video that he belts higher... until now

[@Goggalor1990]

I'm fairly certain David can go higher than F/G5 in falsetto, but knows the limits of musicality within his own instrument and doesn't prefer to just shout the highest note he can. Eb5/E5 seems to be his highest "supported" mixed voice note("I'll Fly Away" has a great one). Such an amazing voice and a true master.

[@MissMartianDCAU]

Actually he loses support around C#5/D5, but the Eb5/E5 still sound really good because although they're unsupported they have minimal strain/tension so they end up projecting quite well.

[@ThePianoguy89]

@@MissMartianDCAU His Eb5 and E5 are free. Support is a breath management skill so it doesn't have a sound. Being "unsupported" would mean he lost breath control and that's not the case. He doesn't lose support above C5/C#5. His highest free note is the E5, but he's consistent up to D5.

[@bskeete]

Love his voice!! Thanks.

[@jymmirachael4316]

I looked through this whole thing and I was wrong. 12:16 I see now that he’s being sung over by someone else in the group. I thought that someone else was him. So it’s hard to hear the E5, C#5 and B4 that he did. My bad. 13:10 until the end of the video I thought was wrong too. But then I realized those notes you were talking about were him doing background harmonies. Because on 13:10 the lead note in the forefront was G#4 and I was like no way he mistook this for an F5. Then I heard the background harmony and I’m like ok now I know what you’re referring to. I think it’s just because it wasn’t labeled as a background harmony, so I wasn’t looking for it there. Same with the ones that came later. And the last G5 I was like “that wasn’t him. That was some lady in the audience and that was much higher.” but then I peeped that he did do it, but I couldn’t hear him at first over the lady in the audience lol. My apologies for my unbeknownst ignorance lmao. I applaud you. I find soooo many videos with soooo many mistakes usually. Thank you for being very accurate.
