This man is unbelievable. I advice you guys to check out his song "Drive" live in Montreal. What he does there is just even more crazy than on this video. A true legend.

I don't know the technical term for it but the mic trick giving perfect fifths under a certain frequency is an amazing idea for such a form and it fills the harmonic space very efficiently. He is not only a brilliant singer but also a very clever performer.

[@Foodgeek]

These Bobby McFerrin videos were some of the first I watched on KZbin that wasn't cat videos or fails compilations. I was always flabbergasted by his unique ability to sing so many parts at the same time :D

[@coulombedon]

Saw him in concert 15 or 20 years ago. He invited some audience members onstage to be his "voicestra". My wife got to sing on that stage that night, a moment she never forgot. He's a wonderful artist and a beautiful soul.
