HE CERTAINLY FILLED OUT! DAN VASC - GO THE DISTANCE

[@cheryla3958]

This was an awesome performance by Dan! We watched him grow from a young boy to the man he is today…both physically and musically! I loved that he took us on his journey! Great reaction! I felt the same when I first saw this! Thanks for the great review! Until next one…🎶🎶🎶

[@karenlutz9391]

From boy to man…from hoping and dreaming to realizing those hopes and dreams. This video always makes me tear up. It’s beautiful and so inspiring to see the tenacity and courage Dan has had to get to where he is. The work he’s put in to get to where he is! What an incredible human story in this video of an incredible artist. Thank you for doing this reaction 💗

[@carolaO-v2d]

Thank you for your comment and for walking Dan's journey with us. A special gift and I am grateful to be part of his journey. Of course, let's not kid ourselves, Dan could deserve a lot more recognition and a lot more with his vocal range and presence. But he would be forced to do what others want or want. I'm proud that he's going his way and I hope that Dan will delight us with his music for a long time and that he'll put a smile on my face.❤

[@elainecherry7765]

He was 20 years old at the beginning. His voice was raw and unskilled at that time. But, he started voice lessons and quickly began developing his depth and range. He continued with those lessons for many years until you heard him sing this song. And he continues to grow and improve with each video he produces. Thanks for watching this today and for your support of Dan.

Why did that make me cry? It was gorgeous! Thank you for your reaction.

[@Wyndigayle]

I REALLY miss his sign off. I wish he still did that. But it's been such an amazing journey to watch him grow as an artist. I know I've enjoyed the journey. Thanks for the reaction, as always. 😊

[@claudiamarsh1648]

I'm so proud of Dan and his journey of improving his singing, performance ability and hard work! So hoping for all good things to come his way. He's earned it.

[@Lydelith]

Dan's voice is indescribably beautiful. Naturally, he had to learn and practice a lot to use his voice perfectly. But this voice could already be heard in the first video. I think he was 20 years old in the first video because the video is 13 years old. He looked younger then than he was, and that's still the case now and will remain so.

[@terryeallen-stoda2152]

What a spot on description of the incomparable Dan Vasc, his vocals, and himself!❤

[@Phillylullaby77]

Maria, Yes Dan's speaking voice may sound the same, but if you dare to listen those early audition tapes, you will understand why Dan so often says he is not a "talented" singer. He is a SKILLED singer. He leaves some old , in his words, " cringe" videos up. He wants to let people know that if you WORK hard and listen to sound advice, you can become the singer you want to be. Here are 2 of those early videos. Dragonforce audition kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoaqnWd7g7Whgbs Thy Majestie Siege of Paris kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnjZcomjgbuShKs He was blessed with the physical tools he needed to have a great voice, but he had to spend years grinding to become skilled. So glad he kept the vision he's had since he was a child. He's said he was singing before he could speak.

Skill: “train to do a particular task.” You nailed it and so has Dan! I can’t imagine the hours he has put in!!❤

[@laurasfavourites2891]

I love all your reactions to Dan,and totally agree everything you say about him. I am so pleased I discovered Dan...his Amazing Grace just blew me away,and I cannot go a day without listening to him. I have two daughters with special needs and they too love listening to and watching Dan. He brings so much joy to my very stressful life,music has always been a vital part of my life,but Dan just takes it to a whole new level...he is The Best!!

[@janinhasz161]

Dan Vas is amazing!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@derekpetersen7571]

I’m telling you he fell out of the sky he was sent here with this incredible voice it’s God givin for us to enjoy it his purpose he is a gift to us I can’t explain it better than that thank you for this my friend

[@staceyeugster9260]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Love to see how much he has grown & matured over time. He's AMAZEBALLS!!!!! I would love to hear him do more songs like this. I would love to hear him do "Color My World" by Chicago. He would KILL IT!!!! Not to mention him playing his harmonica at the end of the song. It would be EPIC!!!!!!!!

[@Nonny54aussie]

Agree the tone was there then. It's a fantastic look at the early days for Dan. Love this and your reaction. ❤

[@essentialgoddess567]

Absolutely beautiful ❤️. Dan is just so precious ❤ I feel like a proud momma to see how hard he has worked, and how incredibly, he has evolved into a world phenomenon 💪 Go Dan Vasc we are proud of you Son 👏

[@KerryNelsonART]

The singing in this is all from the current version ... not through Dan's evolution. Only the images are from his early videos of him singing various songs. See the captions with video numbers in the lower corner. This is such a great video! Dans singing here is really great. Go check out that 1st video ... Dan has come a long way vocally and physically. ...and his muscles keep growing!❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@ellenduebrynjulfsen3394]

Thank you for a fantastic reaction to one of my favorite songs with Dan. Love to you from Norway❤ And must our Father bless your life.

[@SueCook-l2x]

I love the video and your reaction! Dan is beyond perfect, and the best voice ever!

[@user-lsmithcleveland]

Great reaction! Thank you for the Dan reactions. Once I heard Amazing Grace I’ve never looked back & only listen to Dan. ❤

[@josiahrobinson6135]

He was just 20 in the very first video he did. He had all of the raw talent and passion back then, and now, he's showing us the benefit of those plus lessons, hard work, dedication, and a plan will equal success and a dream coming true. Nice reaction!

He's filled out a LOT more- LOL! Good grief in his latest video he's even more buff than usual ! Love this montage of his progression and your reaction! I only discovered Dan about 4 months ago - but my best new discovery by far for last year!

[@kristinabassi4215]

Fantastically beautiful. Wonderful. But it's not a miracle, it's a lot of practice, work mixed with talent. The result is the high quality of his voice. The rest doesn't hurt either ❤️😍

[@lauriekurad]

Dan has spoken about his change, during the time he has been sharing via UTube. He works out, he has s particular diet, he has taken voice and breathing lessons. He us focused in what it is he wants, ehich was why he chose this particular song. He has an amazing attitude, as well as his Spiritual, Christian Faith. He has had sevaral losses in his family, which can bring his emotions to the surface when singing. He literally feels the music, and wants us to feel it also. I think he succeeds in that respect. Gotta Love him 🌹

[@denisewheeler3373]

I’m just so happy that I came across Dan’s videos. Started watching out of curiosity and was amazed by him and his incredible voice! He sings a lot of songs I used to listen to and loved. Have to say there’s many he’s done that I like his version better. His phantom of the opera….just wow!

[@Maria-Fici]

Dan has come a long way

[@DeborahGedert]

❤ love Dan been listening to him for awhile now he has such a beautiful voice and stage presence my favorite is Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera it just moves me for some reason favorite acting video is I'll make a Man out of you from Mulan thanks for the great review I have watched this before but I ❤it so much seeing his journey and all the different songs he sang along the way also ❤ Michael Bolton's version ❤😊

[@susanlowther5993]

Awesome!!!❤

[@karinkrenn]

I always again love to see this - though we don't see the struggles he's surely gone through too - but the lyrics say enough and his comment. You don't hear the steps of his voice's progress here, Maria. 😉🎶

[@sandycox2058]

Dan was obviously a "late bloomer" as he looks younger than his age at that time. The short hair may be explained by his army service. He has worked very hard to get where is is now, but I think he deserves so much more! Thanks for your reaction.

[@kimchaney7732]

Based off what I've seen watching this video , He has put his heart and soul into this song. I enjoy every one of his videos.

[@ruthleehernandez3344]

This was him talking when he first started out introducing his DragonForce singer audition. Dan is singing the song more recently. If you want to hear him sing back when he first started you need to go see those videos.

[@LeaAlicesonSummers]

I love it. It has a sadness to it tho. He’s awesome!!❤️

[@PortugalaGals]

Dan has reached 960,000!!!

[@RoGuimaraes]

His audition for Dragonforce was in 2010, the young Dan. Him singing in this video is 2018, from 2010 to 2018 there were 100 videos and he celebrated. It's 5 years of this video and how much better it has gotten in every aspect. Tks Maria, I love you 😊❤

[@NativeTexan-fm5dy]

Great reaction. Love this one from Dan (like everything else he does, right?). Dan was 20 years old for that first video. I agree he looks a bit younger.

[@Kiwiklassic]

If you look right in the bottom left corner you will see the song his singing and the year it was recorded i.e the first image was "Daniel" at 21yrs old.

[@joanholman3105]

This is the Hercules song only better and believe me I spent many hours at Michael Bolton concerts and loved every one of them. But Dan’s version? Epic!!

[@marciacorlett4568]

His singing was current at the time, but this was a video compilation showing him from earlier and then going forward ….

[@blackholesun5205]

❤

[@karenm5681]

I just looked through your Dan Vasc playlist twice and I’m utterly shocked that you have not yet reacted to Dan’s “Black Wind, Fire and Steel” yet! This is something that needs to be fixed soon because you’re missing out on something very special at the end of the song. I don’t want to give spoilers, but trust me…you want to react to this song!

[@RoGuimaraes]

Each video shown has the date and the song sung. He didn't sing this song in the videos, only in this one.

[@karenm5681]

His speaking voice is the same, yes, but I have to disagree about his singing voice…Dan’s singing voice has grown in leaps and bounds. Listen to the first video on his channel where he auditions for Dragonforce. You’ll immediately hear a massive difference. Dan himself says it’s cringe, but he leaves it on his channel as a reference so if people say “it’s super easy for him, he was just born with a naturally amazing vocal talent” he can show them how much of a hard grind it was, working hard, training his voice daily. He talks sometimes about the difference between (effortless) talent and a finely honed skill which requires thousands of hours of work.

[@derekpetersen7571]

He started I think about 12 or 13 years ago I’m sure someone will correct me I’m glad I would like to know for sure
