Opera Singer Reacts (& Analyzes) - An American Trilogy || Dan Vasc

[@Jacy320]

This makes me cry every time I watch how much pain he's in. To be able to do this just a few days after losing his father is a testament to his abilities.

[@Carolyn-fb8is]

This breaks my heart every time I listen to it. 😢 So very much emotion…I’m not sure how he gets through it, except, because it’s Dan. I’m sure his Dad is extremely proud!❤

[@Lydelith]

This music video is from October 2017, and back then, Dan decided to advance his career as a KZbin singer. Two months later, he started uploading videos weekly. I'm always amazed at how, even back then, he was able to use his wonderful voice, that i can never get enough of, to sing such beautiful songs. He was singing every note with care and intention.

[@joanholman3105]

So well said. I feel exactly the same.❤

[@suzannebush176]

Every time I listen to Dan sing, knowing he nails it only 5 days after his father's passing.

[@dianalindenmeyer4847]

I'm happy how he even was able to sing it at all. Five days after his dad passed, a favorite song of his dad's, I doubt if I could sing, I'd be able to do it. He was looking up to Heaven, singing to his dad, not to us. Breaks my heart ever single time I watch it.

[@ShyAnn291]

I’m sure his dad’s spirit was there with him as he sang this!

[@elainecherry7765]

Thanks for your heartfelt reaction to Dan's performance. Every time is watch him sing this song, the tears flow for me, too. What strength it must have taken to do this only 5 days after his Dad's passing. The raw emotion in his voice is palpable. I would love for you to react to his cover of Time to Say Goodbye. It is a duet with a female artist, and it is so lovely. And watch the outro as he talks about how special this song is to him because of his Father. I look forward to the next one.

[@bobbiejojackson9448]

I'm not a trained singer, but I can't get over Dan's ability to get through this piece so perfectly. If you've ever tried to sing while crying, you know how difficult it is. It's like your vocal chords are fighting themselves and are so tight that it's very difficult to get an intelligible sound out that doesn't sound like it's coming from an injured animal. He never ceases to impress.

[@ellenduebrynjulfsen3394]

I have never heard that song before sung so good since Elvis performed it. What a beautiful tribute to his father. And thank you again for a great reaction to this song. I love your channel. Greetings from Norway ❤

[@magdao8235]

Love Your analysis.Thanks ❤🎉😊

[@LiMohr-rq1rf]

I love this but I can barely listen to it or watch it the pain in Dan's eyes, his face, his voice, his body, absolutely breaks my heart❤ He did a fantastic job with it as he does with everything he touches. The pain of losing his beloved father shows so plain in this video

[@LiMohr-rq1rf]

Love your reaction.. and your review ... Love the quote and your take on it. ... thank you!!¡! Dan does this. He is a special man .. I am in tears... As always. So glad you found Dan. He is such an awesome singer, performer....

[@lkmartin15]

This cover of Dan’s, was my very 1st introduction to him & his absolutely, amazing musical artistry!!! Love, Love, Love this cover & Beautiful Tribute to his Father!!! Thank You for your reaction & analysis! Really enjoyed hearing your reading & inspiration from one of your white boards! 🥰🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️🎙🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sandrachagas9832]

Está é uma homenagem que Dan fez para seu pai que tinha ralecido a apenas 5dias, você vê pela emoção dele. Eu sempre me emociono e choro com esse vídeo, tenho vontade de abraça-lo bem forte! Obrigado por seu apoio ao nosso Dan e abraços do Brasil!👍🇧🇷

[@SylviaCovington-g1i]

Thank you! Such a beautiful tribute.

[@susanharrah3462]

I think dan did this in honor of his father like maybe a week after his father passed. I think this was his way of saying goodbye to his beloved papa. I enjoyed as usual. And i do love you singing voice

[@soniamaria-fn7cd]

This was a beautiful and moving performance by Dan. I get emotional every time I listen to it, especially knowing that his father passed away days before this recording 🥺🥹 He almost didn't finish it, it was truly emotional 🥹. You managed to capture this feeling very well, thank you Daniel.

[@ellenduebrynjulfsen3394]

Amen Sir. You are a wise, good man. And you are so right!

[@pennydreadful-73]

Thank you for your understanding of Dan's emotional state as he sang this. I've seen other reactors who always speak of it, but you gave it proper acknowledgment .

[@ellenduebrynjulfsen3394]

You are so right in everything you’re saying. I listen to music in a whole new way than I did before, after listen to your comments. That shows that you can learn new things your whole life. I’m old. Already 62. Hehe

[@NYDogLady]

My heart aches for Dan mourning his father. I can't say enough about his skill to sing southern, Irish, Norse, warrior, witcher. Will never tire of listening to him

[@SandyT-j1e]

What a range. Dan can sing anything

[@cheyennealice2010]

The message you shared toward the end of this performance is something the world NEEDS to hear. Thank you for all of you comments. I truly feel this song as I lost my father 24 years ago. I still tear up with Dans' version or of Elvis'. Thank you. I will be sharing this reaction.

[@Linx2Heart]

Your reaction to this incredible tribute to Dan’s beloved father, is (in Dan’s words) EPIC. Pain and suffering is a part of being human but languishing in it doesn’t allow one to learn from it and move on so you can experience love again. As hard as it was for Dan to lose his dad, look what he has accomplished in his life since then due having the love and support of his dad and family! It’s given him a rock solid base of support to springboard from to an incredible level of success in his music business. I’m going to share this because I believe that your deep understanding of the human condition and commentary will help people move past suffering and get on with the most beautiful part of living a life…and that is…loving again. Thank you! 🙏 ❤

[@kathleenguth2193]

I start crying even before he sings. Done 5 days after his Father passed. His Father loved Elvis. Such a beautiful tribute to his Father.

[@loribarham6361]

Thank you for your reaction and analysis of this exceptional performance by Dan.

[@ericzeichert511]

One thing to remember here is that Dan did something he only ocasionally does...he copied the original artist. From a nearly identical backing track, to his placement of runs and vibrato to his key and pitch, this was as close to Elvis as Dan could get. That is understandabe, because it was Roberto's favorite song, so the tribute had to be as perfect as he could make it. To see what I mean, please look at Elvis' American Trilogy from Aloha from Hawaii.

[@ShyAnn291]

I agree 100%!

[@gabibacker1053]

Oh, so quick another response to Dan. Fantastic! Thank you for this wonderful and empathetic response.

[@susansouthard]

I am so glad that you did this reaction analysis. You treated with so much respect and delicacy this song moves people and Dan sang it not long after his father had passed from cancer. You did an amazing job, thank you so much!

[@takingtimewithtricia]

Thank you for a beautiful reaction and analysis

[@elvirazandee8530]

Hearing this song by Dan Vasc,makes me cry 😢 I feel his pain😢 His father died only 5 day's before he song this..

[@PeggiandSteve]

Wow, I loved that song by DAN VASC, his father loved those songs and he did this trio together. 😊

[@kristinabassi4215]

You said that very beautifully... There is a real beauty in the song the way Dan sang it. ♥️

[@rebeccacurtis6680]

Dan's tributes to his Dad, and to a lesser degree in honor of Andre' Matos (Carry On), both get to me. You can see the pain in his face in both videos & how hard he works to power through those tribute songs to finish well honoring both men who had a great impact on him. His "Heart of Steel" cover was also quite emotional for him because of his personal battle with depression that he overcame. In another reaction, when I first heard you speak about allowing yourself to embrace the emotions w/o allowing them to overtake you, those videos (especially this one) immediately came to mind for me. I have the utmost respect for Dan's ability to create such powerful, beautiful tributes under such emotional stress while not looking completely stoic. You know he's hurting inside, but he harnesses the strength he needs to deliver the homage he intends. I know he wishes that his Dad had lived to see him be successful, but I think his Dad would be so proud of his accomplishments and maybe is smiling in his Heavenly home. Loved your heartfelt reaction & appreciate your continued support for Dan's music. Your analysis of his vocals takes these covers to the next level of what makes Dan so special. His amazing vocal and theatrical abilities, combined with his personality, humor, integrity, & and character, make him even more admirable. ❤️

[@magdao8235]

Like your comment, I have one more song that brings me tears - All I Need - Within Temptation cover. Don’t know why but it does,and other songs mentioned by you.Almost forgot- Son Of Pain - Rhapsody Of Fire cover.Dan is good too squeeze out emotions from his viewers.At least it affects me when I listen.All the best.🤗😊

[@Linx2Heart]

Thank you for your comment. I totally agree with you. Dan is truly the whole package.❤

[@TheSpongebobSquad]

🥺 beautiful

[@MargreetJoosen]

Chills, tears and tnx for your gentle analysis 😘

[@shirleyemrick1700]

This one is so hard to watch. Many thanks for reacting to the amazing Dan Vasc. He was asked by a fan whose husband was terminally ill, for his permission to play Dans rendition at his service. Dan asked what his favorite Elvis song was. It was Love Me Tender. Dan sang it especially for them. If you get a chance, please watch that one.

[@LHeyden-o6i]

Another great analysis/reaction video….. thank you.🫶Your comments at the end were so touching and beautiful. Dan has said that he regrets that his father never got to see his success in music. I have to believe that his father sees & knows his success from Heaven, and is so proud of his boy(s).

[@gailketch8644]

I believe that is a tribute to his father he's very emotional. And both Dan ❤❤❤

[@umarae27]

Beautiful analysis to this incredibly heartfelt song! That 1st repeat once snagged me, too, until it dawned on me how fitting it was for sharing with us the denial aspect. After the reality of loss takes over, he captures so strongly the knowing of real life continuing onward, pain-free. His Daddy prepared him well. During his latest gaming show, he played an old DOS game that he use to play with his Dad, called Captain Bible. Then, during his BS show he shared with us the channel called "The Father's We Needed". Even in his pain, he reaches out to help others find solid footing. I love that boy, that man! Thank you for your wonderful analysis! (Elvis covers can be a difficult feat).

[@Linx2Heart]

Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@smokymthiker]

Dan listened to music with his father. If you like Dan's softer side, listen to 'The Last Goodbye ' from the Hobbit.

[@carolaO-v2d]

Thank you for your continued reaction and wonderful analysis of this very emotional cover by Dan. A heartbreaking homepage about his father. thanks for sharing......

[@cherylviger1359]

This was a tribute to his father who died 5 days before this recording. Elvis was his dad's favorite singer and this was his favorite song by Elvis.

[@janinschimmelfennig54]

Thank you so much for your heartfelt reaction. ❤

[@angel44144]

Thank you for this reaction and Analyzes. I love how you explain so much of what I wonder about at times. Wise words about emotions not dictating your actions. I will revisit this because it is late and I skipped to get to bed and want to listen to what you had to say fully in the morning. This performance of Dan always touches my heart. You’ d think I’d get used to it, but nope. Every single time.

[@JanVee-qc6tg]

Such a touching rendition by Dan, and a beautiful analysis. So well done!

[@sherryramirez6329]

that quote you read gave me chills bro

[@TheAnnestube]

Thank you for this incredible reaction and analysis. I loved every word you said.

[@mlincoln1]

i so love your reactions. learning so much from them. i am constantly amazed how dan can stand alone in a blackened room and emote such emotion, with such a dearth of stimulation. i can see that you, however, understand. you're speaking of twitches reminded me that there was an (it almost looked purposeful) eye twitch in dan's cover of "i'll make a man out of you" that you missed. i only notice that you missed it because only one reactor has mentioned it that i know of. it is right after he pulls the camera in like he is grabbing you by the shirt. you might want to check it out. thanks for another in depth analysis.

[@MellyP-cn6bx]

Exquisite and heart breaking at the same time . Dan himself has said that bad things happening make you stronger . Wonderful reaction and analysis .

[@LindaGyftopoulos]

I greatly appreciate your contemplative and appreciative facial expressions and your exclanations throughout. My heart breaks as I watch Dan blinking back his tears and his posture as he steels himself to maintain his composure, as he looks upwards towards the Heavens, clearly singung to/ for his recently departed father. Missing from this cover, is the joy that usually radiates from his eyes and countenance,in his other videos, when he is doing what he loves and was born to do, sing. There is no joy here, there is a lot of pain and anguish, It was Dan's final farewell to his father, with his Dad's favorite Elvis song. A very beautiful , heartfelt, heart- wrenching tribute to Señor Roberto. This Epic Dude has a mystical way of reducing me to tears

[@bernie5866]

Extremely well done, Daniel. Thank you, Sir.

[@MaggieatPlay]

That was a beautiful, powerful piece. Thank you, Daniel!

[@tinanichols203]

Good reaction.

[@marlaatml]

Thank you ❤❤

[@CN-zi4gs]

Dan and you seem to share a same life principle that action matters, not the emotion. No wonder Dan was not carried away by his grief, but embraced the whole process and executed his performance completely by being who he was, a son who suffered from the loss of his father. I truly appreciate you for sharing the quote from Dr. Victor Frankl. This video is the embodiment of man’s courage that choose to suffer… for the sake of love. Thank you 🙏

[@ellenduebrynjulfsen3394]

I hope you will take your time and listen to Dans Handelsons Halleluja. You will have tonns of voices to react to.

[@MsLaPat]

Your final commentary was so moving, Daniel. Dan has several songs that address depression, suicide prevention and such. He's struggled, and struggled through. If you listen to some of his videos where he discusses such things, I think you will be inspired.

[@nancywood7713]

Sometimes Dan's soul borrows his vocal chords to express itself

[@RoGuimaraes]

Dan is my hero, he sang days after his father passed away and after 12 years I can't sing anymore. tks 😪😪😪

[@Loovalee]

Thank you once again for this deep and respectfull analysis. I love to get to know music and you way better! So deep and true, what you say about suffering! Thank you so much!

[@kimnaaf1349]

I always gravitate to this cover every time I see a reaction to it. I looked through the list of Dan's songs you've reacted to and I'm surprised go see you haven't yet done Amazing Grace...I'm sure you've had many requests for it, so I'll push for that one too. Please...you won't regret it!

[@robertadill982]

I would love to see you react to Dan’s singing Nessun Dorma! I, personally, would compare him to Puccini singing it!

[@umarae27]

He already did. Look in his playlist

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Hola desde Argentina... Amé tu reflexión sobre la capacidad de afrontar el dolor a través de los principios morales y éticos y sobre todo confiando en el creador... Yo confío el El... El nos da herramientas para adaptarnos y asidos de El todo lo podemos... En una etapa de mi vida muy dolorosa, como la actual, me fuiste de gran ayuda... Gracias!!!... Un abrazo grande a la distancia!❤

[@gailketch8644]

Did you listen to Dan's amazing Grace Gethsemane

[@umarae27]

I hope he does, too. Despite it being a broadway musical song, instead of an Opera song, I'm pretty confident he'll be blown away.

[@CathleenGreen-z1u]

Not trying to start a fight, but your comment was very strange. This is a reaction and ANALYSIS channel. He is very good about letting the song play initially and then doing an analysis afterwards. If you are not interested in an analysis of the song and musical techniques, I do not understand why you would come to this channel. I will frequently wait to watch this channel until I actually have the time to sit and enjoy it as most fun about 20-30 minutes. When I only have a little bit of time, I can watch another reaction channel, which only takes 5 to 10 minutes.
