I think it's important to consider that it's not just 5 people doing what he does. It's also 5 people doing all of the musical accompaniment that he gets from an entire orchestra. I love both for that reason. It's not possible to fully compare 1 singer and an orchestra to 5 people using just their voices. They're both incredible and unique creations.

David Draiman...a voice to die for! A powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do and he makes it look so damn easy! He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before.....just hauntingly beautiful and pure tonal properties to it! An awesome talent and obvious training to deliver what he does!! Can sing like an angel or the devil ! Loved your reaction and your take on David's performance, and I agree with you 100%...he's got pipes LIVE too!! Try "Deceiver", "The Night", "Indestructible", "The Light", "Enough", "Violence Fetish" by Disturbed too.....they're a bit "heavier".....lol !!

Has anyone else told you he was also sick with cold during this performance? I need to look up the original words to this from S & G, because ever since I was a child I thought it was: 'In the naked LAD I saw'.. Also Paul Simon agrees with you and many others that this is the best version ever done. One more thing.. if you are going to look into DISTURBED and didn't already know, they are typically a metal band so hold on to your 'ear holes' . If you want another beautiful ballad by this incredible band, listen to their original song entitled "Uninvited Guest" from their REVOLUTION album. There are others, but think it is also absolutely beautiful. Ok, I am finally done😁 Peace, love & all good things to you. Keep rockin! 🎼🎶🤘💚💙💜

I cannot claim there is any version that approaches this. I cannot claim there is a rendition that is in the same universe at this. This is positively religious. The best cover ever done. Maybe the best performance of any song ever. I feel God in this. Everytime. And I have listened to it a hundred times… However….there is another cover of Sound of Silence that did move me done by “Touch Of Class”. And that band, with the lead singer and his voice, has done several covers of other songs that are small miracles in their own way. If you appreciate Touch Of Classes’ version of Sound of Silence like I did, then you might try out their covers of Hallelujah and Mary Did You Know….as well as many others. The voice of the lead singer of Touch Of Class does not quite astound me like this does…nothing does or ever will…but Touch Of Class is certainly worth hearing.

Yes, he knows his voice inside-out and sideways. He spent the first couple of decades of his life traveling throughout the US and Israel to become a cantor, like his father and his world-famous grandfather.

There is the version by Henk Poort during the Beste Zangers 2019 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5Cle5SDYrqljsU or, to get the context of why Henk is singing it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6fUqn6Lq8eKfJo). He covered this Disturbed version for Floor Jansen. His version is perhaps not as aggressive, but it was the first time in his long career in opera and musical theater that he was adding grit to his singing. It is said he added that for Floor with just 2 hours preparation time. For me, I like Henk better in some parts and David in others, no clear winner. And, not the best version ever, but there also is this parody: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKu9mICPfKynl9U
