These are the faces of an audience that are being introduced to a new species of talent on earth.

[@lintonmurdock2289]

lol

[@prajjwaljaiswal4448]

True..... Just blank faces

[@doginwoods]

I was actually coming in to make my own reply, but in a way, it's already being said. I followed into this link, from seeing him on The Voice Australia. He's amazing! Seeing him perform for TED/Perth, I was really captivated even more, seeing the looks that were glued to the faces. But, I wanted to reply to your specific statement of "new species". No, it's not, only more evolved. This kind of sound originated from as far back as the 1960's that I can remember. From the "do-waps" , quartets and first time synthed samplers. Though, I'll be glad to admit, the level it's advanced, is like comparing a firecracker to a nuclear bomb! This guy is just a powerhouse in sampling, synthed looping using his voice as the only instrument he's producing his effects from, though, I'm sure he's likely got a collection of auto samples stored on memory. Yeah, I'm blown away by his power, passion, and determination to take this kind of sound to the top!

[@Liberty874]

Right...lol

[@vesnakocoski4486]

ahahahaha too funny

[@rawirihemi27]

lol, the crowd isn't dead... they are trying to comprehend what he is doing and how brilliant he is.

[@nathanhynes]

Exactly. I don’t know how a hyped up crowed somehow is associated with appreciation of a performance. If anything, a hyped up crowed wouldn’t be able to appreciate the performance as much.

[@soundvibrations269]

That's exactly what happen when you try to live just in your head. Dead bodies.

[@TalontheTemplar]

Brilliant minds trying to comprehend another level of brilliance. Fast forward to 2018 and watch world class singer/ judges amazed at his talents....I. Kelly Rowland and Delta Goodrem. Words can’t describe.

[@malcolmi]

The audience is living proof that ZOMBIE's exist!

[@pamelavillanueva2697]

They trying to comprehend what are they feeling 👽🙌🙆‍♀️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@adama3231]

How did this not go viral??? Voice 2018 winner

[@michaelbiggs4313]

Over night sensation... after more than five years of very hard work.

[@xy4195]

He won or is it an hypothesis of yours?

[@jonehret6221]

Mangatique Miko Top 12 is next week. So no winner yet.

[@IronWarrior4Ever]

Hind Sight 20.20, he won.

[@adama3231]

Hahaha, I told ya’s 2018 winner 😁

[@pauldelgadillo1827]

I just watched him win The Voice: Australia 2018! A truly remarkable performer and I don't care what his critics say. The guy proved that he can sing with the best of them. He and Kelly Rowland were just aces up on that stage together.

[@SongbirdGLS]

I just watched The Voice compilation of his win. Total Brilliance!!!!

[@ShooterBrown]

You can’t drop this kind of raw energy on unsuspecting civilians! TED is so out of line for this! 😂😂 🔥🤘🏾🔥

Was hilarious to watch the mixed reactions, from awe to confusion. 😅

[@secretov1da]

There's something quite lovely and memorising watching the audiences faces during Sam's creation of the different layers of sound.

[@TheKruner1]

i've watched every video of sam i can find......an amazingly creative artist with a unique and terrestrial sense of music... and on top of that he's drop dead adorable too.... total package

There’s a difference between a dead crowd and mesmerized one. The atmosphere feels totally different, this one is obviously the latter. Sam is freaking amazing. Also... ESH!!

[@danielalvarado2643]

Sam Perry Won The Voice in 2018... They didn't know what to do.. So different, to those who says he is a DJ Your Crazy He is a true artist, with amazing talents

[@MrNtlman]

I'm surprised he didn't play this song on the voice

[@secrated]

Now this is the best version of Aladdin!!!! Sam should make this a track!!!

[@JimmyjimstA]

i could listen to him for the rest of life

[@amazonmanonthemoon1250]

ikr!

[@lucianofreitasjr]

Every time I watch Sam Perry I can't help but shed tears of happiness on how natures takes away in the same mesure it gives it back. Chester Bennington is not among us anymore, but now We've got Sam. My heart is warm again.

[@felicialally5703]

"I build music". Indeed he does.

[@melissaanderson821]

That voice is so haunting man.. its is own ghost voice man.. like wow..

[@IanMaitner]

All those astonished faces all over the place; all of them are not lying, they're saying what's going on down there: that ain't an ordinary thing, that's perfection.

[@pristinabread]

Sam Perry is the genius behind a new genre of music.

[@wes8888]

he IS now

[@kenshults1889]

I was mesmerized by Sam the second I saw him on The Voice AU. I'm an old white dude in America but he blew me away instantly. I just don't know if I could have sat there in that audience and not move to what I was hearing. It's great to see him earlier on in his craft. I hope he tours the states one day b/c I would love to see him live. Truly an amazing artist.

[@donaldk.macbaird4950]

All the sound's come from his voice ,he is Incredible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@OnTourWithPattiSmith]

In 1980 Our Daughter’s Wedding ... .. would loop their synthesizers and walk off the stage ... the crowd loved it.

[@razvan3228]

i've rarely seen a crowd so mesmerized.... but it's understandable, one can only wonder & gasp at such amazing talent

[@Andrew-wo8lz]

WOW this is incredible. Is it bad that I just want to listen to this music for hours? Hope he does a lot more!!!! 3 Thumbs up from me Sam!

[@anvargas31]

He is blowing mind for me. Many parallels voices universes at the same time. Legend!

[@DanipBlog]

THE best recommendation this website has ever given me!!!

[@KR-yc4ed]

still listening and putting views in monthly through all these years. One of th best raw perfomances of Sam.

[@lilleke80]

You're not alone there! Same story! 😁

[@Geoffreyinoz]

I just saw this, watched him win the voice, I knew he would win, this performance far better than what he did on the voice, brilliant.

[@jaivkoltun4948]

This is awesome, as in the whole room is in awe !!! Always a wonderful day when something amazing you've never quite experienced before enters your world. I am grateful for this day. Thank you Sam Perry for your presence, what a gift. . . You have totally inspired me. . . Blessings. . .

[@robert9967]

Every time I watch Sam Perry he just mesmerizes me ! He is one freaking talented dude !! Frigging love him !!

[@raresmarcu9453]

OMG I wish I could have been there!!! I would pay any price to get that ticket!

[@y4nnickschmitt]

It's awesome to see how he had the full attention of so many people! That rarely happens these days.

[@veronaschneeberger2634]

Can't stop listening to your videos! I'm fascinated by your music.

[@ThiMoh]

Discovering a new and innovative kind of music led by a great talent and hypnotising voice. Big up Sam Perry!

[@balanceiskey9646]

some members of the audience when full on trance. amazing. cheers.

[@reeblesnarfle4519]

Can't get enough of this man. Truly genius music creation & performance! Great going Sam Perry. My newest addiction. And worth it!

[@laralvr]

Good thing he got more recognition after joining the voice Australia

[@nikkilarsen506]

Sam meet world! World meet Sam! Here's your opportunity to hear a New School, Timeless, Universal sound that will blow your mind!

[@JohnDoe-yr4zr]

Yeah he is a seriously good talent, yet with still room to grow even better, especially with his production/composition side. It's not totally new school as I was working with artists doing this in the late 90s - early naughtiness, but to the normal world, which is always 5-10 years behind the Underground, this stuff is from a different galaxy :-) One guy who has definitely nailed the whole package in this area is DubFX - Albums/ Everything's a ripple (2009) & Theory of Harmony are well worth listen ;-)

[@marindabekker8491]

Im your biggest fan from south - africa

[@vazq335112000]

Forget it! This guy was sent here for this. To draw peace to the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SeeBeautyNAll]

[@ethanevers570]

This is the winner of the voice Australia

[@onthelevelracingchannel8028]

This guy is a phenomenon artist, have downloaded so much of his music...The new Jean-Michel Jarre

[@waltermh111]

He is a performer of the highest order. He doesnt have to have the best voice, the favorite instrument, the best look, he simply puts everything together in a way that is mesmerizing, emotional, his body language is pure passion, though I do think his vocal range is really good also. Its too bad it took him so long to be noticed, thanks to The Voice.

[@kv4692]

I LOVE the looks on everyone’s faces as they hear this brilliant new sound for the first time. I can’t get enough of Sam Perry’s music! Much love from Texas.

[@LeyLey41]

[@edanny79]

Sam Perry.. Best Looper💥🔥🔥🔥👊👍

[@thetreedoctor]

Sam, I adore you I am intoxicated by listen to any and everything you create. I am now a much older man who enjoy trip hop music for which your type of looping would fall under this classification not hip hop but looper trip hop. Will you ever tour in the USA or am I having to come to Australia to have the pleasure of hearing you live. Please come to NEW YORK you have many fans here also I will come to every performance.

[@malcolmi]

Sam Perry is a genuine star !!!!!!!

[@grazryan]

😱 I don't know the word amazing would give him justice!! I'm just astounded

[@MsBeefus]

Thank god he explained it , what he does isn’t written in books .

[@waynewilliams3155]

The camera zooms in on Sam demonstrating his amazing talent, then cuts to what appears to be an audience at a paint-drying exhibition and then back to Sam. The song finishes and the crowd breaks into rapturous applause. Then Sam announces he will be performing another song and the crowd fall deadly silent - the shock is palpable. Sam is about two minutes into the second song and, although hard to believe, has just taken the performance up a level. This is clearly juxtaposed against the audience, who now demonstrate that they have mastered the art of appearing bored in the face of greatness. Is this the Zeitgeist of the new millenium?

[@JohnDoe-pe7ql]

What a performance, the whole package ;)

[@ArsalanMoura]

Yeah he has got a package alright

[@Robbie2Fly]

Super SUPER duper talented musical vocalist!!!

[@YesItsMeGuys68]

[@PepinsSpot]

I am "stupefied" watching this man. He IS the show. His mannerisms, so dramatic! PS If that was in Puerto Rico the audience would all be standing, jumping up and down and screaming!

[@D0minic123456789]

I Don't Think People Realise How Valuable This Style Is, & How It Can Be Incorporated Into Many Genres. However For This To Suit A Wider Audience, More Vocals Are A Must. He Has An Intense Tone, And Great Range. USE IT MORE!!!
