My Best Video: "How Great Thou Art - Peter Hollens feat. The All-American Boys Chorus"
• Video
~-~~-~~~-~~-~

[@blimeyhermione07]

Still one of my favorite covers by Peter over a decade later. So stunning ❤

[@KlinjollyCraft]

How long until this guy gets signed with the big guys? He is better than 95% percent of the popular musicians right now!

[@WesleyNilsen]

Better than 99.999999% of popular musicians actually…the best artists never get what they deserve.

[@KlinjollyCraft]

Wesley Nilsen Agreed.

[@RshamanPro]

Wesley Nilsen 99.999999% isn't the best. It's 100%. Just saying.

[@KlinjollyCraft]

He was not trying to say THE best, but rather in the top few artists.

[@Raeflower360me]

I know a lot of singing youtube stars are hesitant to sign contracts (even if they're offered) because if they can be successful like this, they can keep full artistic liberty, and they don't owe producers/record labels any of their fame. Chestersee is a case in point. Sure they won't achieve ultimate stardom in the music industry, but that's not all that's important.

[@cpwings]

I just found your music while passing time in the waiting room while my husband got his second pet scan. I spent the entire 2+ hours listing to every song you have on you tube and praying. I kept coming back to this song "I won't Give Up" and "Mary Did You Know". Both songs helped me get through a very stressful time. I then went to I tunes and bought several of your songs there and continued to use them to help me relax. My husband has gone through one round of chemo so far with two more rounds coming. Praise God, The fantastic news is a lot of the cancer is gone now. We still have more fighting to do to beat this cancer but I won't give up! Thank you Peter Hollens for sharing your voice with this video program you have. I am a contributor and will continue to follow your journey.

[@TheSnowshow33]

This is awesome. Prayers for you and your husband.

[@martabaughman7044]

I found this just today. I love this channel and I think that he is super talented. I would be too scared to do this even if I could sing!

[@dezmoore351]

one word... talent

[@allenrogers1156]

Unbelievable really. Completely agree

[@piperlandry6726]

Record companies have stopped caring about the music. If something makes money they will always give it priority even if it's horrible compared to the art of someone like Peter Hollens (which rocks). We were better off with the old record label owners who didn't know much about business and when they were presented with something they liked they just said "Take a chance! Let's get it out there and see if it sells!". Now it's all owned by 30 year old men who think they know what we like and what we will buy regardless if how horrible it is. We need people like Peter Hollens, Lindsey Sterling, and Pentatonix to keep the spirit of what real music is from dying out completely. Keep up the amazing work.

[@rebeccaosborne8916]

I couldn't agree more. I'm fed up with all the stuff you've talked about concerning record companies. What they've been doing nowadays is complete bullsh*t. I like that there's someone else out there other than me who thinks like this. :3

[@rebeccaosborne8916]

You're very welcome. :3

[@richardgreen2810]

Jacob Landry I totally agree, and you may or may not have named my 3 favourite artists in your comment making me agree more XD

[@Lone_Rocket]

I feel like your one of those people who would lead a revolution. Take that as you want.

[@jadenataylor]

Jacob Landry don't forget to include ThePianoGuys to that list of amazing artists. They have done videos with Lindsey and Peter before. ;)

[@emilywillingham2188]

This made me cry. Absolutely mesmerizing. Your voice is so pure and has no flaws AT ALL. You are an amazing singer!

[@moontje1979]

Emily your words describes how I was feeling when I heard this song from Peter , his voice is so mesmerizing and he is amazing , he touches every bit of what I am , and his voice omg his voice how awesome can some one make you feel with only his voice , and then his looks , who wants to give up on him is crazy cause he doesn't only sounds amazing he is also looking amazing

[@Dreerer]

simone mudde Does he touch your privates too ?

[@pakmanisdaman]

Dreerer xDream lololol this guy ^^

[@mikehunt-ke4cv]

Dreerer xDream im dying! Lol!

[@FuzzyArtemis]

It's amazing, how even four years later, this song still makes a great impact. I'm so grateful you shared your talent Peter, then Evynne sharing hers just made it all the better. I wish all the happiness for you and your family.

[@possum6381]

Still one of my favorites, Peter. Which says a lot, because you've done so many I love. I also enjoy the work you do with your lovely wife. You and Evynne both are so very gifted. I look forward to someday seeing a trio with the two of you and your son.

[@bonniesather7880]

Matthew 18:20 KJV For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

[@MaireTreasa]

I just heard this on Pandora and fell in love instantly with your voice! I came straight to KZbin to find more of your music. Heaven to my ears!

[@Chrisfragger1]

Theresa Robinson Eargasm lmao

[@savannahgardner7941]

same here

[@big3201]

People say that the classic is the best. That doesn't apply to Peter because this is sooo much better. (In my opinion)

[@martabaughman7044]

Here here!

[@alexofsanik]

really surprised to hear this song (this exact song sung by Peter) on the radio!! i love this song to death and i was happy to hear it on the radio!

[@Survived4Real]

Peter, my very best friend of over 40-years sent me your information, thus leading me to you and your songs. Regardless of whatever God, Religion, or greater power one believes in, your God has given you the blessing of voice and talent for singing that goes far beyond good, great, excellent, or superior! It borders on Heavenly and or Angelic. I listened to just several of your songs but am speechless and at a loss for words as to how wonderful your voice is, and gamut of emotions it has stirred up inside me. I know your popularity and comments are so many, that you'll probably never read this comment I've left...but I hope and wish you nothing but the absolute best in continuing career, your singing & song writing, and all the success possible in your future singing, social media, and all personal & professional career endeavors that lay before you? You have a skill unlike so many others in your field, and I for one would simply like to say, "My sincere thanks & heartfelt appreciation for sharing it with all of us! Look forward to listening to many more of your songs, and best wishes for Happy Holiday Season & a Happy, Healthy and prosperous New Year 2016 !!! William ~

[@hannahhensley7008]

If you stare into Peter's eyes and sing along, you can fool yourself pretty well into thinking the two of you are just chillin and doing a duet. No big deal.

[@HoneyballLP]

Still one of my favorite videos on KZbin!

[@josephtester1053]

Dear Peter , this has been a long time coming but I have to say this. I absolutely love yur work. Not simply because yu are talented but because you seem to have the kindest soul ive seen. Its one thing to be a person who has the beliefs you have but your shear appreciation for beauty and drive to show it is what I believe God is truly about. Im not lds but ill tell you this, of those who live by love and joy and crave peace in this world. Those are my people. You have a brother in me peter! May gods mighty hand be upon you all your life and protect your beloved wife and darling boy. Yours truly and sincerely, Joseph

[@ShironDraconis]

Heaven in my ears. I love it :')

[@humongousswine8734]

yeah, he gave me an eargasm.

[@MrWhitefang1403]

After checking Jason Mraz's version, I prefer your's. It's more soothing and relaxing, even has a more romantic approach.

[@ZooKid13]

My boyfriend and I were having trouble with our relationship. He came home and I was listening to your music channel because your beautiful voice cheers me up. When it got to this song my boyfriend got up off the couch, came over to me, wrapped his arms around me and started singing along. We both started crying because it was so fitting. Your music is WONDERFUL but it will forever be apart of my life. I love listening. Keep it up! And even though you didn't do anything, I'd like to thank you for helping mend my relationship. I'm sure I am not the only one so moved by your music that I can brighten their day or even their life. :)

[@MaxVoltageMiningCrypto]

I love this song as it has a special place and means so much to me. Wife had Ovarian cancer 2 years ago and currently in remission. It has been quite the journey and our love has grown stronger. I won't give up on her and she keeps fighting. Keep lookin' up. The original, Straight No Chase or Peter Hollens. Love all of the versions. Of course I love acapella so...

[@janetlongson]

Just beautiful, and what a surprise the find out that all the voices are Peter himself - brilliant!

[@RanquestLP]

Thank you for doing such a wonderful rendition of my wife an I's wedding song. This put a smile on my face. I cant wait to share it with her.

[@marym6782]

My God! your voice!

[@Thelilgenie]

this is amazing... i can't even begin to describe how beautiful the voice is. and that face... friggin full package.

[@RobinPierceWildMoonSister]

I really love his eyes! Ok the voice is wonderful too. Its like he is looking right into your eyes as he is singing to you in this. Notice, its all his voice, there aren't any instruments, its dozens of tracks of his voice overlaid. Its called 'a cappella' style. Peter Hollens, he can sing to me anytime!

[@selenalopez5553]

I love this version. I literally cry when I herd this version. This is just amazing.

[@druzea]

thank you so much for continuing to sing and uploading them... you are truly amazing, and i find myself waiting to hear you on the radio lol..

[@captainlink72]

How is it the SLIGHTEST BIT POSSIBLE that someone can dislike this? Seriously! It's like, impossible!

Me and my boyfriend went through some rough times and I dedicated the original song to him... But you just made the song even better. Thank you so much! You sing like a god, congratulations!

[@GrinningDonkey7]

My best friends older brother commited suicide three years ago. i realized how selfish it was and i also realized that i have to live for the ones that gave up. i have to live the life they couldnt because of others torturing it out of them

[@megw3078]

GWRage One of my friends committed suicide just over a year ago, and it just crushed so many people who loved her. Thank you for living the life that she can't live anymore. We're all survivors. :')

[@evanlferguson]

+GWRage I'm a bit late replying to this but suicide isn't selfish, no one NEEDS to live for anybody, if someone can't handle life anymore they shouldn't have to live on just for their family. Of course suicide isn't the best option, but people have the right to do as they please.

[@mattlutz03]

Evan Leigh suicide is selfish, yes you may have the freedom to do whatever, but suicide is very selfish, but sadly it happens mostly because other people are being selfish which results in people just wanting to end their lives
