I'm a classically trained singer and I must strongly disagree. This is the most vocally impressive interpretation of this song that I've ever heard. It's not even close. Pentatonix is a group of extremely talented singers but, even if you prefer their version as a whole, there's no individual singer in their group who can sing this song better than David Draiman.

[@jilliant.4550]

You are correct. Especially with the fact that he had the flu and a 102 degree temp when he did this. Also he was sitting down and normally stands. You need to watch the video version. A lot more range and emotion in it.

[@jackflexington4706]

Real talk dude. No one has given me goose bumps like this dude.

[@daciajcksn]

Oh yeah.. I agree 100%. This guy is unreal ❤❤❤❤

[@thekosk]

Also the pentatonix version was way to "light/happy". What makes this version so amazing is that it matches the lyrics in darkness.

[@ruthiewohlforth5464]

You are so right! Nobody sings this better than David Draiman.....vocal talent and control is absolutely unbelievable.....Pentatonix can't touch him....sorry..... any one of their singers can't touch him!!

[@saphiro007]

I’ve heard it described before as “Simon & Garfunkel’s version is a warning, whereas Disturbed’s version is an outcry, for not heeding the warning.”

[@MidoriDad]

And Pentatonix version is "hope afterwards"

[@ambeauty2001]

@@MidoriDad yes yes yes! S&G is sorrowful, Disturbed is anger and PTX is hope

[@maureenbrooks5016]

Brilliant description. The lyrics are something that gives me hope even with this pandemic.

[@allenheaps2084]

This has got to be one on the most powerful live performances I have ever seen! It just totally blows me away every time I listen to it.

[@jenniferharrod6418]

While I love PTX, this is by far THE best version. I can feel the angst and anger that we didn’t heed the Simon and Garfunkel version (the original).

[@charisma1303]

If anyone says that isn’t “as vocally impressive”, they don’t know a thing about music. His display of control, emotion and depth was on full display here. Most people don’t realize David Draiman is a versatile singer, not just a metal screamer.

[@lynsmith2698]

i have to agree. His range is unbelievable, from baritone to tenor. The control was stellar. I never get tired of watching this video and am truely impressed by his vocals in this song.

[@osutuba]

@@lynsmith2698 Those low notes just resonate and give me goosebumps on top of goosebumps. I can't name any other modern singer with his vocal range that can execute that kind of tone that low.

[@masterv2041]

During this Dave Draiman had the flu and a temp over 100. His own words "I was sick as a dog" this was an interview when he found out they'd been nominated for a grammy for the performance.

[@pinclerinus]

@@masterv2041 so the man was sick as a dog and still performed like that? Dear god thank you for your gift to the people that is dave draiman

[@chriscummings6997]

Spot on!!

[@Stevesrssrssrs]

You don't have to compare, because Simon & Garfunkel already said that this was the version they endorse as the best version of their song, including their own, and he actually had a cold when this performance took place!!!

[@SteffeL2]

And was auto-tuned (in this version), against his own will, or at least I read that somewhere.

[@Stevesrssrssrs]

@@SteffeL2 That's right, I forgot about that. I heard that too, but I guess I forgot it because I never knew if it was true or not. I can't tell.

[@CrimFerret]

@@SteffeL2 It was for a couple of the high notes from my understanding and he wasn't happy about that. I like the official video version better but it's mostly because of the visuals. He can and does perform this song live as the Conan performance showed.

[@estranhokonsta]

I have not heard of any source that confirmed that. Just rumors. On the contrary i watched a vocal coach watching this same performance and commenting on it. She said that it she understood that some persons though so, because of some sounds in some parts, but in her opinion those where a natural part of his voice.

[@simonhill4021]

@@estranhokonsta I think I saw the same reaction, then she got abused by a bunch of hacks for saying that .

[@423catherine]

For me, the original has always seemed like a sad warning, disturbed's version as the anger that the warning was ignored, and pentatonix's as hopeful that the warning will bring about change. I love how all 3 versions of the same song can bring about such different emotions.

[@KalistaMoonwolf]

Well said, I love all three versions in their own way.

[@ilichiregius2884]

100% my favorite cover of Sound of Silence!

[@michaelshafer5192]

I found the Pentatonix version to be proof that bubble gum survived the final war.

[@theresabristow2472]

His use of different vocal techniques throughout this version is impressive. I love this version.

[@charisma1303]

Thank God someone else here noticed that. David has incredible skill and depth in that voice.

[@fkornre]

The most impressive use of vocal techniques in a single song I've ever seen!!!

[@MinimumGnome]

When David dropped into his "Disturbed" voice that we're used to, goosebumps everywhere for me. So haunting and poignant. I hadn't heard this versions before... Phenomenal

[@catherinealderman4448]

I am a classically trained singer and THIS IS EPIC! Amazing, stirring rendition and the singing is strong and full of passion. Love it!

[@allisonwoody24601]

IMO this and Johnny Cash’s cover of NIN’s “Hurt” are the two greatest cover songs of all time.

[@MusicallySpontaneous]

Couldn't agree more. Johnny Cash's Hurt is truly in a whole other realm than NIN's.

[@erikhirschfelt5066]

[@glennshaffer3111]

i am an old school simon and garfunkle fan and never heard Disturbed before. i am awestruck by the vocals i just heard. that was simply amazing.

[@marybrown6128]

I'm a huge PTX fan, but I also love Disturbed. I would never try to compare these two versions and say one is better than the other. They are both phenomenal in their own right.

[@jasenyoface7555]

I like you

[@Doublebarreledsimian]

I prefer this version over PTX's as it just felt like it carried more weight to it. Still I have no complaints about PTX's version other than it felt rushed, and like a middle of the pact cover of the song. However even though I said that, I still enjoy listening to it. If the song were a story, I would say that the original was the warning of things to come. PTX's felt like its happening and its pace had an urgency to it making it feel like the middle of the story. As for Disturb's cover, it just has this heaviness to it. Feels like the ending to the story as a final cry for not listening to what was being said.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

@@Doublebarreledsimian I agree. I love the harmonies and "feel" of the PTX version, but Disturbed captured the darkness of the lyrics better than any version I've heard (including Simon & Garfunkel's original), so I have to give it the edge as my favorite version.

[@mysam4504]

Mary Brown: I like you too!

[@trevorwhiteman8056]

Try Puddles Pity Party version.

[@aleckelsey2663]

I've heard several versions of the song. Love the message. In this version you don't just hear it. You feel S&G's message on all levels in this rendition. Paul Simon actually shared this version on his social media and David Draiman got a chance to speak to him shortly after. We the original artist and songwriter praises your version of their song and is excited to share it - you did good.

[@tiffymcconkey]

Keep in my he was sick during this performance. It's my favorite cover of this song. Love distirbed

[@danaradford2849]

Hands down... the ABSOLUTE BEST VERSION EVER!!!!

[@BumbleBiBee]

EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS VERSION I END UP TEARING UP AND JUST GETTING CHILLS!

[@missron80]

I had listened to Simon and Garfunkel so this song for as long as I can remember being alive. I genuinely believed I would never hear a version from anyone else I would like because how can you top perfection. This I heard this version. For the first time ever I actually understood the lyrics and felt the emotion behind the song. I think I listened to this over and over again for about a week. And the only reason I had listened to this version in the first place was because I think it was Garfunkel who shared it and endorsed it. Now I adore PTX. ADORE THEM. And their version is spectacular. But there is something about this version from Disturbed that breaks my heart every time and therefore puts it right at the top of my favourites list. Should also mention this gentleman was actually sick with a cold when he recorded this so yeah.......

[@tishmullins9880]

This is the BEST RENDITION OF THIS SONG EVER!!!! So hard to believe it was live - David Draiman is EXTRAORDINARILY TALENTED! This rendition of this song spoke to my soul, gave me chills and made my heart pound. The next best rendition of this song is Disturbed's recorded version, also extremely powerful. Thank you David and Disturbed for gifting this to the world.

[@HeavenlyMess]

I don't know how to listen to this song, no matter who sings it without absolutely crying my eyes out every time. I just feel that this song is as relevant now as it was 50/60 years ago.

[@dragonlove1]

This is my favorite Disturbed song. I love how it’s so different from their other music. It starts out so simple and soft and ends so powerful. I absolutely love this song thank you for reacting to it,

I never listened to Disturbed, i mean my kids listen to them, & im not a fan of their music but when i heard this,!? This 63 year old woman has become a fan of Disturbed, still dont care for the kids taste in music but every once in a while you'll find a gem in there somewhere😊❤️

[@randomperson1943]

I’m a huge metal fan but PTX has always been amazing to me. I appreciate this version so much and love Disturbed. He even did this while he was sick and had issues with his range due to acid affecting his vocal chords. That makes this performance even more impressive. Glad you reacted to it and were respectful not to compare. One of the many reasons I follow you.

[@BriPhi39]

This version gave me the chills throughout! Like you said, SO HAUNTING! and the string/orchestra with it just added SO much depth and nuance!!

[@teresaadkins3254]

Power is the only way to make people listen. He has so much power and uses it VERY well. This is my favorite version of this song. Anger sorrow and reason portrayed so everyone will listen. Rock on!

[@LisaS-ul6vx]

I'm not a metal fan, and it is rare that a PTX cover is not my favorite, but the music video of Disturb's cover is hands down my favorite. The visuals in it add even more power. My understanding in this live version is that even though he was sick, he refused to use a track for support. Pretty impressive!

[@michelleblkft3831]

Great reaction! I would go check out their music video for this.. it’s hauntingly beautiful ❤️ I’ve been to their concerts years ago, wish they covered it then!

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZUS!!!! I LOVED this live version.... AMAZING!!! It's a completely different feel from PTX's version, and beautifully done. Thanks for sharing my man!!

[@Arcusfp1]

As amazing as this performance is, the video is even better. The graphics add to the power of the song, and his voice goes from a somewhat softer beginning building to what I believe is even more intense ending.

[@janetranslates]

I get what you're saying and I can't disagree. However, when I recommend this to anyone--especially reactors--I always suggest the live version first. There are flaws in this performance but it's obviously live, not lip-synched, no studio-produced perfection, and I think it's phenomenal (despite the unwanted autotuning in a couple of spots). I watched this version until I knew every nuance by heart. THEN I watched the official video, which is stunning. It is certainly a better sound recording and, as you say, "the graphics add to the power of the song." The Conan performance, however, is the one I keep coming back to. Nothing quite like a live performance. And I love the tympani!

[@debbiedogs1]

He was apparently sick when he did this live performance. Many have said so, and I feel like he had some trouble with his vocal chords and diaphragm support in this.

[@theonlysjc]

I know there's a lot of production behind it but the studio version is absolutely insane. Brings me to tears every single time.

[@aciarduce]

He had to use a different version of the vocals for this performance, he had a cold.... He had... a COLD..... This is what happens when you get a classically trained and quite versatile singer, a cold.

[@carly7428]

David Draiman has the most beautiful voice of any man I've ever heard.

[@TheDijjer]

David is a trained vocalist!!! FYI, he happened to have the flu at the time of this performance!!! He has incredible vocal control, a wide range, and a delicious, rich timbre. More than that, his interpretation is surpassed by none. His sensitivity to the lyrics and melody is mature, insightful and chilling. I have lost count of how many times I have listened to this cover and it impacts me deeply each time. BTW, I am a huge PTX fan. They were born in Arlington, TX where I live , and attended the high school where my son also went. I am friends with the woman who was instrumental in forming the group. I love everything they do but for me, no one matches David’s performance of SOS. It is a masterpiece.

[@eeyoreismyspiritanimal8761]

My background with music is so eclectic, you wouldn't believe!!! While yes I am a pentaholic, his version was so different from any other... I loved this version more because musically he shows so much control over his own voice. I'm also a music nerd. So there is that.

[@DeanJohnson67]

I use goosebumps /chills as my guide and this version still causes them! The Pentatonix version never did though I do love their version as well. This version matches the dark lyrics much better than the original as well as the pentatonix version. All 3 are great but in a world where I could only listen to one, it's this cover on Conan (prefer it over their offical video as well)

[@Fadamor]

[@professionalvampire1]

I love this song and have all 3 versions (S&G, Disturbed, and PTX) on my phone. Which one I play depends on what I'm feeling at the time. That's the joy of music - there is no right or wrong. Just because you love one version of a song doesn't mean that you can't love another just as much.

[@MattPhizzle]

Love that you said not to compare the two because they absolutely are two completely different renditions. I like all 3 (Disturbed, PTX, and Simon & Garfunkel) for what they are. Each one brings its own flavor to the table. Love your reactions! Please please please react to "Immortalized", "The Brave and the Bold" or "The Vengeful One" from the Immortalized album. Really anything from that album is awesome.

[@lawrenceflower8418]

Very Powerful and Moving song. The only other one like it would be Bad Wolves 'Zombie'. Nice Reaction

[@janajeffsilvernickelladventure]

It's the context of the song that I feel lends itself to be great for all that sing it. Great video as usual for you sir. Enjoy watching you "work". So happy for you to be able to do what you like. 👍🏻🤘

Pentatonix and Disturbed are two completely different lanes! Both are at the top of their craft!!! I respect your decision and wish more creators supported that mindset of thinking :)

[@slinman100]

This is what turned me on to Disturbed. Yes, I must’ve lived under a rock.

[@BladeCPL]

Reacting to more Disturbed? I would suggest "The Light" from the same album.

[@geriatricptxer2362]

Like you, I love both performances. I love his gravel-voice emotion. I do miss the intricate harmonies you get with PTX, but I also love the instrumental accompaniment (especially the strings).

[@nancymurray4922]

Such an amazing voice. So powerful. You are hanging on his every word.

[@MCNinjaDJ]

As much as I love the pentatonix cover this is probably still my favorite cover of the song 😂

[@strangerlove875]

Honestly didn’t think I would but I got CHILLS. so good.

[@cecile436]

You don't have to compare which version is best, but you can always say which song works best for your own sensibility. For me, of all versions of this song I heard, it's definitely Disturbed that stays in my heart. I cried the first time I heard their cover, because suddenly I understood what the lyrics were talking about, there is so much intensity, it starts all quiet and dark, then it builds up into some kind of violence and rage, David gives meaning to every single words he sings, this is such a powerful version of the song. I love it. And then it's one single guy singing really deep, then going high, then adding grit. That is also technically very good. No other cover of this song was so moving for me. That doesn't mean that the others are not as good, that only means that it's the one that resonates with me.

[@jenniferbreczinski3878]

I was waiting for the song to start sounding like disturbed and they didn't disappoint. Happened after you paused it. Very good rendition from them. Agree Pentatonix is a totally different category then really anyone else. Great choice!! P.S. thank you for this channel and providing a range of great music choices!!

[@jasenyoface7555]

Thank you for rocking with me, you're an OG around here! 🤘

I'm not the biggest fan of Disturbed's music, but this cover is genius. I hope David does songs in the future that show off his vocal range and versatility as this song did.

[@theresaewald2405]

I was excited to see this today. I love your reactions, and appreciate your passion and acceptance of all types music if it's quality stuff. I was surprised you hadn't heard this until now, and I was thinking "don't pause it right before his 'change' " because it'll lose something. But it was okay! Love this song in all it's forms, but this one is the only one that makes me cry. Love you, Jas! You are my new 'go-to' when I need a break from 'whatever'.

"There he is!" Loved your facial reactions.

[@terryherrick9784]

David was so sick that night that the band was afraid he wouldn't be able to stand long enough to sing the entire song and that is why he was sitting down.

[@rooispartiallyyellow]

Love pentatonix, love disturbed, two very different versions that are both outstanding! Also interesting fact, Disturbed's singer David is a huge Simon & Garfunkel fan, and after this cover was released he got an email from Paul Simon saying how much he loved the cover. It was a very cool moment :)

BEST version. No doubt, no question and no hesitation.

[@ImageOnIt]

You have to remember that David and Disturbed did this one first, everyone else, including Pentatonix, followed by doing a cover of his style/version of the song. Disturbed was the first to modernize it.

[@itsmetara3773]

This is absolutely the best cover ever!! You should really watch the official video of this cover. Pay close attention to what is on the boat and what they are going to do with them. Disturbed is so ridiculously underrated. Don’t miss “Hold On To Memories”!!!

[@triplebackspace3623]

I will say this about PTX and Disturbed. Disturbed was first to do the cover of this , and I think influenced PTX's verson. In fact I think every recent cover of this song took a clue from Disturbed and varied their version from Simon and Garfunkel in a similar way.

[@bdustin65]

Another amazing version of an amazing song. First time I heard this was in his official video. That was a little scary but awesome. Thank you.
