Man, your voice is beautiful. My girlfriend and I have been together 11 years now, since we were 19, 5 days ago our beautiful baby boy was born. The last step to completing my family is to have this song playing while I propose to her. Thank you for this :) keep doing you brother x

"Smile please." Lol

[@savestheday54]

@@panda-goat similar to cat calling being a thing, guys often feel the need to tell women to smile. I never really understood it

[@huyaba100]

People are so wrapped up in themselves they couldn't stop to listen to his beautiful voice... I would go mad

[@corner559]

Amazing talent. How does this guy not have a recording contract?

[@leighfrancis3420]

i agree

[@nathancoffman6050]

I agree. How can someone with such an incredible unique style like this not blow up. It would be awesome if he made an album.

[@Sheisty25]

I believe he hasn't found his niche. I'm a hiphop head, and I prefer him singing like this. if you check his youtube channel he has a wide ranging catalog.

[@MavidG]

Millions of ppl can sing and do not have a contract. They don't sign ppl simply Bc they can sing

[@Elisezzz]

How can people just ignore and walk past him? If someone with that voice would sing like that over here in Holland people would have been filming, clapping and giving money. But yea.. that's New York

[@ASMRuniversal]

I ask myself the same thing

[@kunchok6789]

you betta never stop... when you sing..you SHINE..and your journey thats been hard, no doubt, makes your song somehow sound sweeter..than just a talent..theres an ANOINTING in your mouth...many can sing, BUT NOT ALL can sing from the heart, with a special way that can actually effect & change atmospheres.. so you better never stop..dont stop shining... youre amazing. you better make your itunes account or something..its your moment baby.. you dont need a title,badge,sticker, platform, office.. its your moment.. and this aint it..

[@telskelly7903]

This guy is THE next it! Great original music... listen!

[@kevc2028]

Good sound and nice beat. Yes I like it. He should be more conscience of the hand gestures and facial expressions. Overall, I like he's sound.

Stumbled back upon this is 2021 we're so blessed to hear this again

[@earthmoverr]

seeing this in my recommendations makes me remember watching this 2 years back. . Can we all just agree and say that he's perfect and everything more?

[@Takedownman]

People pass by don't even realize he's famous lmao! I'd gotten an autograph!

[@redeyestones3738]

People don't generally care. Especially about KZbin famous

[@redeyestones3738]

Famous? I guess that word has different meaning these days

[@chickenublets]

It's NYC, you could do literally anything and 99% of people will pass by without saying a word or even making eye contact haha

[@redeyestones3738]

@@chickenublets which is one of the many, many reasons I have zero interest in ever visiting New York I grew up in Maui, where you meet people from all over the place. Ppl from New York, and New Jersey, seem to be the least connected to anything that doesn't involve anything they aren't absorbed in in their own little bubble. Not saying all of em, just a generlization

He can't be famous if people don't recognise him you moron.

[@Tr1pOfficial]

still comin back to this 7 years later... crazy

[@carolwilliams8840]

He has such a beautiful voice. People are walking past like he's not even there. Like they don't even hear him. It's so disturbing how we've gotten so used to passing homeless people like they don't exist. If we can't help them in any other way, we ought to at least acknowledge their existence with a smile or a hello.

This guy, honestly he is amazing. I don't understand how people can walk by without appreciating this art. If I were to hear him I wouldn't care if I was late to anything I would stand there and watch him. He's honestly great, he'd make me smile, big time.

[@99EbonyRose]

I don't actually OWN a tv because i can't stand 99.9% of tv shows (they're called "programs" for a reason, ppl!!) & tv ads make me murderous. But....a friend is staying over and brought his tv with him and happened to have it on Idol when i happened to be in the room and i heard Mr Anderson's audition. I decided then and there to look him up - what a beautiful soul! Love your song, Hollywood and love your joy in performing. Namaste, from a friend in Australia :)

[@macknight88]

Hello, Mr Anderson. My name is ryan, just another stranger and avid admirer, being in the military can be difficult but i have history in music as well, and lately things have been a bit difficult, but your song is absolutely soul lifting, this song has already become me and my soon to be fiances song, i just wanted you to know your music will be played in the name of love and soul, keep making wonderful music. you have amazing talent sir. sincerely, one very appreciative soldier

Precious young man! I wish him all the best! If I heard him sing in the subway or anywhere else, I'd have emptied my pockets to help him. One could never go broke by giving, because God will give it back tenfold. Listening to his audition on American Idol, especially the end, made me cry. God bless you, Hollywood, with all you need and then some. Yes, God is real!

[@dennimaldonado422]

I never watch American Idol, but my TV was already on Fox from looking for the weather this morning and I can't find my effin remote. I'm so glad I did. I loooove his voice and his attitude. I could definitely see myself singing along with him playing in my car. I how he makes it big

[@KayKay5]

It's funny how people pay no attention until you're famous. Once everyone knows you, then it'll be a big deal that he's standing in the subway, showing off his raw talent. But know Hollywood Anderson and every other person out there that has such talent, that you're amazing either way. Keep believing in yourself.

[@DigitalNomadChad]

found this by accident today, and it kind of just wins the day for me. thank you.

[@Crimsanee]

After watching this song at least a hundred times late at night on youtube I told my fiance that I wanted this to be the song for our first dance. At first she was somewhat skeptical because I told her that I originally found it on youtube from a guy singing in the subway. We got married on September 18th of this year and you can bet your ass I belted this in front of 125 people.

[@evoomss]

Damn this could be a hit song once it dropped. I personally would buy this off iTunes right now !

[@kemcrosby783]

I honestly had the show on tonight because my child was in the room and I was sure this show was kid friendly. Man after seeing this I had to look you up can't stop listening to it. If I could buy it on iTunes right this second I would. I have never ever voted on this show but I will now. I didn't see it coming. And what makes it even better is that he seems to have a great personality. I saw your video in the subway and I see all the people passing you by, I truly believe that one day you'll be so famous that it would be difficult for you to walk thru without security.
