If no one has said it yet, David Draiman (the lead singer of Disturbed, and the man featured here) was trained as a Jewish Temple Cantor as a child. A Cantor being the person who calls the faithful to the temple for prayer, and leads them in that prayer. Also, his father and grandfather are/were Jewish Temple Cantors. It's a tradition at least 1,000 years older than "classically trained" singers.

@tlnrmn Ай бұрын

Paul Simon sent Dave an email: “Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I’d seen you do it live. Nice, Thanks.” Draiman responded. “Mr. Simon, I am honored beyond words,” he wrote. “We only hoped to pay homage and honor to the brilliance of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Your compliment means the world to me/us and we are eternally grateful.”

@hilarytoffler5636 Ай бұрын

Exactly, as I am in my 70's I remember when the original came out. We hippies felt like the song spoke to the frustration of our generation. The people were watching the "boob tube" and we wanted to discuss war, racism, hate and division. David's performance mirrors our thoughts in this generation, we don't speak to each other except through text. People "talking without speaking, hearing without listening." Our frustration continues, however for the first time in a long time we have HOPE! In Kamala Harris. 💙

This has to be one of the top 10 greatest live covers of any song ever. The control he has over the highs and lows and most especially when does that intentional vocal fry is insane. As a heavy rock singer he is known for that but still so impressive.

@DrunkinDonuts97 Ай бұрын

One of the best covers to a song ever done. Right up there with Whitney Houston’s cover of Dolly Parton’s I will always love you, Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails, Tina Turners cover of Proud Mary by John Fogerty (Creedance Clearwater Revival), and Teddy Swims cover of I Can’t Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt. Honorable mention to: Sinéad O’Connor’s cover of Nothing Compares 2 U by Prince, and Bad Wolves’ cover of Zombie by The Cranberries.

There are no words except maybe stunning that describe this. I'm a 73 year old chrome haired geezer who like many out here grew up in late 50s, 60s and the explosion of music in the 70s. We were 100% rock n rollers in our 20s, 30s and 40s. Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Stones, Doobie Brothers, Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd. We remember Simon and Garfunkel when their music hit the streets in 1965. From all that music, there has only been two covers/tributes I've heard that reach the original version or exceed it. This version of "Sound of Silence" and Nightwish with Marko Hietala singing a tribute to Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" from the End of an Era concert in 2005. Both are simply jaw dropping.

Since you liked this version, you would probably enjoy Henk Port's cover of this version of The Sound of Silence in the show Beste Zangers (best singers). Henk is a life long opera singer. Some of the ladies who were there, said the entire room shook in resonance with Henk's singing. The entire season of the show with Henk and Floor Jansen (Nightwish vocalist) are worth watching (listening) This was my introduction to Disturbed. I didn't know them before they showed up in Conan's show. My first thought was that for a name like Disturbed, he was singing great, but too sweet. As the song progressed to the grittier part with the loud roars, I realized the name is perfectly right for their style. I'm a fan now.

That was a Musical tour de force, raw, powerful and emotional; Reading the other comments, I'm glad that Simon and Garfunkel said that they liked this version, high praise indeed ; Anyway back to Emma's reaction, and all I can really say is that Emma also delivered a tour de force; Their was a nice intro, building into the Song, and then Emma as always gives a great technical explanation for the differing aspects of the Song; Be that to do with breathing, or bringing a low deep register from within the Chest, and the clean tone being produced; The final round up was pitch perfect, Emma becoming emotional perfectly underscored the performance; Emma yet again showing with her raw, powerful and emotional reaction that she stands at the very pinnacle of reactors, few can match her, but the Charismatic Voice; Beth Roars and the Fairy Voice Mother push Emma close. 🥰😍💘💝💙💯👌🤟👏👍🙆‍♂👩‍🎤.

You uttered the exact same word that most reactors use when reacting to this song...that word is (wow).🙂 Another thing I've noticed, and im not sure why, is when Draiman sings the word (creeping) in the beginning of the song, for some reason that word elicits a somber reaction from most reactors I've seen, you included. This was a fabulous and heartfelt reaction to a true musical masterpiece that will gives you chills, goosebumps, and leave you in tears. Keep up the good work.
