I love watching people's faces when He starts singing...😂

[@soniajanatowski9620]

That is my absolute favorite too! I’ve watching about 6 other people’s reactions to this cover and Hennings Voice. I found this cover on my for you page in TikTok last year and I wish I had a video of my reaction! Lol Love this cover more than the original!

[@cindyp9857]

I'd love to experience the first time I heard this.

[@mstubeornottube]

I love watching his face!

[@mstubeornottube]

Mai Not may

[@rashanmcrae9166]

Cause no one expect it you'd only hear some one sing like that back in the 50th or 60ths.

[@cucublueberry8078]

Has anyone EVER not been flabbergasted when Henning started to sing?!?! 😂

[@matrikzdaclown7496]

Blew my mind watching him and how easy it is for him to make those tones

[@DerEchteBold]

I saw dozens of reacts and there was only one person who kept a straight face and showed little to no reaction but I don't remember who it was.

[@DerEchteBold]

@@matrikzdaclown7496 It's not easy, according to himself he probably won't be able to sing like this for a very long time, you can see how tense his neck is, that's not good for the voice at all.

[@simon2083]

I know and hear him for like over 8,9 years and everytime I’m hear him I get goosebumps. Literally one of the biggest singing talent in Germany

[@voyance4elle]

same :D @@simon2083

[@cindyp9857]

His voice is amazing but please acknowledge the first guy, voice is beautiful and unique ❤

[@christofjork8446]

Yeah, the way he intentionally breaks his voice is pretty unique and works perfectly.

[@wolfeesmom]

i think that too!

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

Yes. It's the yodeling, for me.

[@-MELLONcholy]

Both are amazing!!!

[@theJuLYheat]

They damn near have opposing voices and it blends so damn well that it's gorgeous.

[@californiadreaming567]

Let the addiction begin watching this a hundred times

[@cindyp9857]

I'm old enough to be their mommas and I'd be so damn proud to sit there and hear this! Ya'll are amazing!!

[@markhilliard4037]

the partnership and melding of voices is just magical .... whoever had the idea to ask them to work together gave an amazing gift to humankind...

[@rainerader1182]

That’s a soul voice, my friend

[@EPiQ_cR]

Every few months I will always spend mulitple hours watching people reacting to both AMK, and Ren. Great video, and good reacts.

[@ShawkaReacts]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@0711ers]

You definitely need to hear the cover cant get u outta my head from AnnenMayK

[@nina4122]

Please do more Annenmaykantereit!!! They are so good! I can recommend "Wohin du gehst" "Ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen" or "I like to lie"!

[@TobiasBerben]

And, of course, "Barfuß am Klavier"!!!

[@Smido83]

And, of course, "Roxanne" and "Du bist anders"!!!

[@voyance4elle]

I also recommend their original songs like "Pocahontas", "Nicht nichts", "Barfuß am Klavier"

[@winterlinde5395]

First room AnnenMayKantereit, singer Henning May Second room Giant Rooks, singer Frederick Rabe Then they come all together. I think they have a lot more to offer. AnnenMayKantereit has cooperations with some other bands.

[@user-ii3vn8tn3q]

his ‘Roxanne’is good.

[@loretta5653]

One of my fav genuine reactions 😊

[@schuhschrank947]

The song is a cover of Suzanne Vega's Tom's Diner (1987). This is a collaboration of two German bands: In the first room AnnenMayKantereit are playing and Henning May (deep raspy voice) is their singer. And in the second room Giant Rooks are playing, Frederik Rabe is their singer. A little later AnnenMayKantereit join them. The guys of AnnenMayKantereit are the older ones.. AMK does mostly German songs, Henning can also sing without that rasp, his voice is amazing, but I like Frederiks voice even more. Giant Rooks do English songs, even though they are Germans as well. One reason why I love Frederiks voice is their cover of Life On Mars (David Bowie): kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ2seGp3mthqeq8. And my favorite original song of Giant Rooks is Nightingales Of The Walled City: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqaYoYOwdtZjn5I . It is a live performance because they haven't released it.

[@BoXeNMusic]

Giant Rooks and AnnenMayKantereit are both great bands worth checking out for real

[@vanessa4u4evr]

Everybody compares him to Louie!! He's not trying or pretending to sound raspy. He sounds like that when he's performing with his own band. Both singers and their separate bands are extremely successful in Europe, and the Rooks band is also very popular in the U.S. 😅😅😂

[@petecogan1]

Louis Armstrong or Tom Waits.

[@voyance4elle]

Hahahahahaaaa yaaaaasssss!!!!!! I love Annenmaykantereit reactions sooo much xDDDD Hahahahaaaa that moment when Henning sings!!!! LOVE

[@MsGoodlife78]

Henning May is the deeper raspy voice. This song is awesome, I've been rocking it for a couple years now and it never gets old. Esp watching reaction vids like this. Luvs it♡

[@petrabohnhoff1410]

Recommend "Barfuß am Klavier" the earliest upload recorded outside too. Mybe look up the lyrics to get a glympse of the meaning. And I absolutely love Pocahontas. These are owm songs, no covers and therefore in german. They are creative and the music feels so "real" and natural. Love it

[@bobcieslinski]

Nice job on this one Shawka! Hennaing has the most unique voice for sure. He completely shocked me when I heard it for the first time.

[@frankleben5451]

I thought that too about the neck tension with the 2nd dude but you can see he has it at the beginning when he’s singing soft so that just might be how it looks tension or not.

[@aster934]

Im in my 50s now. When i was younger i would fell in Love with Henning just because of his voice.... ;-)

[@lindadenton7407]

He’s not hard to look at, either.

[@audiogarden21]

Can't Get You Outta My Head, Roxanne, Come Together.

[@anakelly76512]

I'm sure we've all had to rewind that part.

[@voyance4elle]

yup :D

[@ronnywagemann637]

Henning May has a amazing voice

[@pkpowa8559]

As a german, I always get goosebumps, when I see the faces of the people, who are first reacting to Henning Mays voice! XD .... you should also listen to Annenmaykantereit - Ausgehen ... kind greetings from berlin. ;)

[@Whitebishop89]

I really enjoy Ausgehen

[@voyance4elle]

Same :D I recommend "Pocahontas", "Nicht nichts", "Barfuß am Klavier"

[@anakelly76512]

Believe me, we all had the same reaction hearing that voice come from his body. My eyes were as big as my head. The 1st guy is awesome, too. Unique sound. Unique look. But, very young to be sounding like that! What are they? Barely out of their teens?

[@EnnovonSchwerin]

Henning is born in 1992, Toms Diner was released in 2019. So he was 27 at the time of recording this song. Yep, he looks way younger than 27 in this video.

[@anakelly76512]

@@EnnovonSchwerin No. The original song, "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega was released in 1992. The a cappella version was 1987. I'm older. I grew up listening to the 80's and 90's. The guys' cover of this song was released in 2019.

[@edson4834]

@@anakelly76512did you read what he wrote?

[@anakelly76512]

@@edson4834 Yep.

[@t.j.2083]

Great reaction video, you were so respectful of the music and allowed it to proceed without a lot of jabbering, which I have found so annoying on other reaction videos of this song...loved watching you reach for the pause button when Henning May started singing...most of us did the same, I think, the first time we heard him. Another recommendation for a reaction video is AnnenMayKantereit and Milky Chance's cover of Roxanne (it is dynamite, even better than the original by the Police, in my opinion). Seriously though, I haven't found anything by AMK that I don't like, just wish I spoke German so I could enjoy more of the songs they do in their native tongue.

[@newvideoplaylist]

Roxanne cover is fabulous! Agreed! 🎉

[@Babidi111]

- the look people get when they first hear that guy start it should have its own name. it seems to strike everyone and its like we all dive into our minds searching for some amazing figure to place it too

[@TheAbomb]

Fred rabe comes in like a soulful incredible hulk and smash! Amazing Frederick!!!

[@liquidminds]

At this point, I think "What?" is Henning Mays official middle name. 🤣🤣

[@elenaorujev3494]

Oh Henning May!❤

[@RolandDeschain19]

Ladies and Gentleman this is Henning May from AnnenMayKantereit

[@Sinja.M]

Thank u so much for Ur reaction Dankschön für alles ich Liebe es wenn die jungs viral gehen warte seid Jahren darauf denn sie haben es verdient ❤

[@ShawkaReacts]

Thank you ❤️

[@ianetams2814]

You definitely know what you're taking about. Big Big Like!

[@triciamahan1152]

Henning May is the one with the brown tee shirt

[@TanyaQueen182]

I thought Louie Armstrong the first time I heard Henning May as well.

[@BeOtterMyFriend]

You say Louis Armstrong, I'd rather say Tom Waits.

[@sunnysally9144]

I think the 'strain' you see is similar to a woman singing soprano. It's seems out of their range but it's not really. they're comfortable there. And I think you see it more because he's thin.

[@claires8735]

I listened to the original today. I so wish that AnnenMayKantereit and Giant Rooks had done more of the verses. This is a combination of 2 groups AnnenMayKantereit and Giant Rooks. Henning May is the singer in the brown shirt.

[@catalinacurio]

The anticipation on your face when they joined the others. 😊

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

YESSSS! LOUIS ARMSTRONG! Thats what I'm saying on all of these reactor vids to this song.

[@ljohnson4881]

Reminds me of the lead singer for Everlast at the beginning of his career.

[@kasper8393]

Feeling pur, so muss das^^

[@Aurora-cv5to]

Henning May reminds me of a young Tom Waits

[@gavinrebtoy3375]

The first time I heard May’s voice It reminds me of the late 60’ and 70’ with Joe Cocker, Van Morrison, and Leonard Cohen. I think May’s voice is better, but that is what he makes me think of. Rabe voice sounds like it would fit perfectly in with the alternative rock of the 90’s. And again much better. His voice on this is spot on perfect for this cover.

[@ianetams2814]

Try Peter Fox ' Vergessen wie ' . Just trust. For your own enjoyment

[@gaberox101]

If no one recommended it already, take a listen to "Valerie".

[@biblereadingoutreach2284]

Channelling 🗣Bob Dylan & Bruce Springsteen

[@karens346]

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

The first singer has a tone at times like Eric Burden from The Animals. Henning May is todays Tom Waite.

[@musclemedicine_M.D]

The music teachers last name is either Wilkenfeld or stein.. I know his twin he’s an allergist at my hospital. It’s striking 😮

[@ericfoster9343]

Bro thank you.❤

[@californiadreaming567]

You have to listen to them sing Valerie ( Cover) too it’s super great. Plus others

[@neiletordee5407]

🇩🇪Here 2 nice examples of Annenmaykantereit😜✌️: Annenmaykantereit - Barfuß am Klavier kzbin.info/www/bejne/qna1g3mNqr56apo Annenmaykantereit - Pocahontas kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqPEcmaGitqih8U

[@-MELLONcholy]

Yesssssss!!!!

[@warrenmarino5955]

Can we plz give Henning i think some credit cuz that song would sound amazing either way :)

[@ianetams2814]

If you like these raspy voices check out the 'Beatsteaks' . Yep,I like them just as much as this guys.

[@Anni_Mau]

Both bands are absolutely fantastic and especially great live! I think you should also check out Giant Rooks! Especially as a music teacher because they do a lot of very cool things musically! I think you'd appreciate them! Fred Rabes voice is very versatile and he only showed one very limited style here in this cover I'd say :) Maybe try one of these: What I know is all Quicksand kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp-zlYF8jdicgcksi=K5KZ9nw_0nYtwjge Or Bright Lies: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naPJmnqwotR9bZYsi=gV-2R76s5RU8Dorh ❤

[@Deusvult633]

Nice one ❤

[@N_K12695]

Maybe you can correct the name of the TWO bands? 'AnnenMayKantereit x Giant Rooks' It seems to be a little unfair not to mention 'Giant Rooks', doesn't it? 😉

[@edgarrodrigues8052]

a new joe cocker born!

[@stephanieweston6715]

Can you react to one of the covers by seryo either his cover of all of me or Tennessee whiskey

[@Dr_Klops]

Well my naxt comparison in time would't be Louis Armstron but Tom Waits. Maybe a reaction to him would also be worthy.

[@ShawkaReacts]

Many people have mentioned Tom Waits. I'm definitely going to have to check him out!

[@Dr_Klops]

@@ShawkaReacts I'd reccomend his version of Tom Traubert's Blues.

[@Whitebishop89]

Great reaction and i have been enjoying my dive into their music recently and would enjoy seeing you react to more of their songs. I'm going to throw out a different collaboration called Tadow by FKJ and Masego i think you would enjoy it.

[@Whitebishop89]

If you do check it out, look for the live studio version, please. I think it's much cooler to see them create the song.

[@KT-ml9mt]

enjoyed your review, love it if reactors have sth to contribute to my understanding of the music - thank you! If you consider further reactions it would be really interesting to hear what you have to say to annenmaykantereit's latest release, especially as there are 2 versions of the same original song, one live and one album version, which are quite different from each other. The Song is called: Lass es kreisen (let it out), live kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJCzdHh-n7d3qrs, album kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHa8Z61peLhpibM. I'd love to hear what you've got to say about them. Greetings
