Spontanious inventions-Bobby McFerrin

Bobby and his audience

[@jonnyboy9464]

like it has been said before, Bobby McFerrin plays the human

[@fluidstatic]

I could listen to this man sing for days. I'll never understand why he's considered a one-hit wonder, when he makes more beautiful music every day.

[@darrenhusted]

Because he only had 1 hit. That is why.

[@shypenguin9766]

I can see where Jacob Collier got his crowd playing inspiration from. Brilliant man.

[@keltraine]

And 1 hour of KZbin video watching comes full circle, as I got here from a Jacob Collier TikTok!

[@H.WalkerJr]

It's crazy how he can make a beautiful song out of a name. Freakin Genius

[@MK-so2iz]

Melanie- that's just freakin genius. not just to get the audience to sing the harmonies, but with his whole body and his gestures, gets them to sing with dynamics as well. and Mcferrins gigs are always so fun, it makes the audience wanna sing along and not feel embarrassed or shy to sing

[@marydonohoe8200]

Now, those guys in ties...seriously pitch-challenged, but that didn’t throw Bobby, needless to say. He just figured out a way to make it work. Amazing artist of amazing grace.

[@BatoBFlex]

He is a legend,his concerts are not boring,he work with a people who watching,and it's fun to every man whitch is there.....Respect Bobby,you are LEGEND,indeed...!!!

[@sammeiii]

how does he get the audience to respond that way?.. simply awesome. its like magic. The woman in yellow @ 1:17 can't believe it.

[@mrrich_entertainment1392]

men! this guy is so entertaining! he's so gifted!

[@studiofifty4]

He is music personified!!! An original.

[@originalawol]

Just love that first harmony.

[@LMC931]

It's now one of my life goals to have bobby mcferrin sing my name

[@zamoteh]

This guy gives a new meaning to the phrase 'engaging the audience'. Wonderful.

[@didujustfart89]

i love how he gets the crowd involved that's so freaking awesome he's so great

[@yooner91]

he has the craziest range ever

[@PhantomLord]

damn the first part with "MALANIE!!" gives me chills.

[@CeronDerBarde]

if any performer at any time and any level of skill wants to learn how to 'get an audience going', just get them to watch this video. They'll learn every time they watch.

[@thegreatestoffools]

He's a natural conductor!

[@MaXaNoMaLoUs]

im crying and smiling.. its overwhelming, instant art. wonderful

[@asifwekere]

I fell in love with performance about 23yrs ago Thanks for posting this.........

[@HarmonyHorizonMusic19]

[@Rhuarc]

I've never heard the name Melanie sound so beautiful. Great Stuff!! Appreciate the Upload

[@AssimilateThis85]

I never realized how funny he was! I've been listening to his "Simple Pleasures" record since I was about 5, overplaying "Don't Worry, Be Happy" until my tape broke :(

[@kaladinbdo]

A true artist of sound.

[@UB3R31337]

WOW, watching him work a crowd is amazing!

[@MsNotAnother]

HIS concerts are fricking fun :)

[@phillipsko1]

At #t=1m29s this black women really comes out clear! I love it! Black people just have so much soul it in them!!

[@hgkrmz]

People are his instrument. Weird in a way, but also quite amazing.

[@bevfitzsimmonds3382]

Brilliant. Thankyou! 😍👍🎙🎶

[@tadiwamafuma1915]

This is insanely awesome!!!

[@scoobertmcruppert2915]

@Johnny Been awhile…but the beginning was just her name - Melanie(Melonie) - second one was “I’m in leather” maybe 🤷‍♂️

[@FarewellChorus]

I think Melanie really stole the show here.

[@enikosoya]

He puts a continuous smile on my face

[@unequally-tempered]

What a big smile this guy brings to one's face! It's great fun to see all the boring people being woken up who never before realised what life was for . . . !

[@thelastnic]

true talent, something most people dont have. this is a God given gift

[@reynaldojones9975]

One of God's many blessings

[@JaquelineVanek]

god nevah changes :D ...much

[@asifwekere]

Pure Genious.... Extremeley raw talent!

[@421Nancy]

tout simplement spectaculaire

[@gl683]

my favorite singer from now on.... talking about crowd managment... woow awesome

[@probnoblem]

I love each note that bobby makes :-)

[@bthrun90]

Man I hope this guy makes millions a year. You have (no offense) rappers who use computer programs to completely cover up their real voice and they're rollin in stacks of large bills, while this guy probably makes 1/10 of the money they make. If that. He's as good as it gets in today's music (in my opinion)

[@AdamWil79]

Good on You Bobby, Love the way you entered the section of the crowd where you were singing Pay Due...Love it

[@tashey10]

he is amazing. creates a new league of musicians. lucky crowd.

[@alisonliu6929]

Pure Encompassing JOY!

[@unequally-tempered]

What a big smile this guy brings to one's face!

[@PhantomLord]

when he sings it it sounds like "Melody" but whatever it still sounded amazing.

[@wyliexc]

So creative and fun. Great thinker and musician!

[@bassplayer5466]

[@robbiedaug]
