Holy cow. This is 1000 x's better. Who s this dude? Thank you. Time for some research. & you look stunning in blue

[@scanor7613]

Thats felix Irwan

[@kemanakakimelangkah]

So many talented singer from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@adreesuryawan7946]

Indonesian Singer for sure

[@donaldpaulson3920]

Lol I'm like 20 seconds in and agree

[@samohtsolacad229]

Sounds like countrish type to like Hootie and the blowfish.

[@sarlina1]

Seriously, I have never heard a better male voice in my life. For me, he is unmatched. His voice is so soothing to my ears, I cannot give him enough credit. He moves me in every song he sings. He is unbelievable. I totally agree with you 💕

[@herdifreund7715]

Try to hear Teddy Swims - I Can't Make You Love Me, and other songs. He don''t need a Vocoder or some other Technik to make his voice better, like this guy.

[@sarlina1]

@@herdifreund7715 "This guy" is not using a vocoder or other technics. What you hear, is what he has to offer. Just a guitar, and his voice. It doesnt get any more pure and simple than that. Some reverb for effect sometimes, thats it. I have heard him live, so there is no doubt. He used to play live on the streets, to gather money for his family, to eat. He sounded just the same. Teddy Swims is a very good singer, but he just doesnt quite do it for me. Its just a matter of taste. Interesting enough, they both sing "You`re still the one", by Shania Twain. I think Felix does the better cover, although I enjoy Teddy`s voice too. Its just the tone of Felix voice, his deep and rich tone that draws me into him. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYK6i4SeZb6MjaM kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKOXq6iCgteAmM0

[@herdifreund7715]

@@sarlina1 I didn't say he can't sing. But you wrote that you have never heard ab better male voice. Either you haven't heard many singers yet or there is something else. But hear from 1:41. There ist a lot of echo and something like a litte double layer to put more volume in his voice. Singers like Teddy, Austin, Dimash, and many more don't need something like this. ;-) And yes... sometimes a guy sound better the better he look. But i'm not a girl. Im listening with my ears... not with my sexual hormones.

[@sarlina1]

@@herdifreund7715 You are wrong. The echo you hear, is from the reactor`s recording. Listen to the original video, there is no echo/layers of voices there. Only reverb, something EVERY singer adds. Dimash, Austin, everyone. When it comes to Dimash, I have no ear for his voice. Its too much gymnastics, his belting is not for me, its not at all soothing to my ear. I like Austin, from Home Free, but he is too "clean" for my taste. The same goes to your Teddy. He is just not doing it for me. I like the deeper tone of a voice. More rasp to it. Many do. I dont care about any looks. I have been a singer myself for 25 years, and my ears are as good as anyone else`s. I am not a fangirl. I am independent, and have had music as my passion (and work) all my life, I have my own small studio. I have heard thousands of singers. If looks mattered, well, then you have Austin, havent you. I did not like your insinuation, sir. Here is the original video, with no echo/layers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp3GoqZ8hK6Fo8U

[@pianrazak921]

He’s great but you need to hear more girl 😬

[@tarzanisno1]

🧡. As good as Adele's original is, bravo to Felix for bringing this emotionally sensitive, heartbreaking song to a place that can move us to tears with its delivery - something great music and lyrics can do. Thanks much for the reaction, Janet.

[@iamjaydee4621]

It's so heartfelt rendition.. and his voice is so cool yet so warm.

[@djromelee8708]

The emotion is legit. Oh my ghad!!!❤️ It's not just a beautiful voice. It is indeed a gift from heaven.

[@kmlb6801]

I agree that I'm more touched by his version than Adele's. But in a way it reminds me of her first albums. I love his elegant witholding and humility when his sings. Without ever looking at us, it feels his soul comes to pour us into his story.

[@rosemaryhabib1031]

You can feel the depth of his voice.Holly Molly.Im in love.

[@moosewild4239]

He has a fantastic voice. The lyrics in that song hit hard. Really nice.

[@Eoghanbass2000]

I would love to be sitting in a pub, listening to him sing all night, can think of a million songs he would kill. Wow, glad I found this today. Amazing.

[@sarlina1]

I know, right? That's the feeling he brings to the table for many of us. His voice is different from others, easily recognized and what I have been missing in many years. Country singers might have the same touch, but they are not really there. This guy has brought something new to us listeners. His covers are all speaking for themselves, both those in English, and in Indonesian.

[@scscfoundation3170]

first time heard this with your reaction, damn, makes me cry hearing this song.. i've never heard this from the original singer but i think he's like owning this song.. he's killing it..

[@mikes.6751]

“All I Want “ it’s from this same session. Beautiful cover he does and you’ll probably cry on this one. Felix has an amazing voice!

[@markmclendon8621]

he struck you the same as he slayed me a year ago when i first heard him

[@romuloambay9624]

when you sing with your soul you become an angel. .or to put it simply, you'll have the voice of an angel. .

[@robbya6415]

He's got The Best version of all, love it !

[@thomaschrist115]

I just loved your reaction . Please do more of him

[@florenciusmojikon6745]

Greetings from Malaysia, i know my comment is late but I have nothing but admiration for this man's voice. Make him sing any song and it will be so good, soothing, smooth and with lots of suave. I personally love his rich baritone voice.

[@rio20d]

Felix voice and tone are just so unique, just when I close my eyes and just listen purely to his voice....it sounds like, he had that country twang in his voice tone. I guess his acoustic guitar playing kind of reinforcing his way of singing even more.

[@elgilcordero1996]

I agree dude i can hear country vibe

[@ningtingdinpougangmei5839]

Holy cow! He has an awesome voice😍

[@suryohatmojo6709]

Your reaction animates the song to the point of touching, don't cry, beautiful

[@btangtarischannel8316]

Hi you should see him sing fix you, Hero , and others song.. He's Amazing.. Another fenomenal Indonesian artist 👍👍🙏

[@capstan50g]

I cried right along with you, Janet. This man has a voice like polished mahogany and good guitar chops to match. For some reason, this performance always makes me picture Adele dressed as The Penguin. Is that weird?

[@graemeblackburn7511]

I agree with other viewers, great performance & wonderful stage presence. Janet, first time viewing & have subsequently subscribed to your Chanel, as I like your reaction style & your intelligent, informative comments. I have an absolute Gem for your stage presence appraisal. Her name is Amira Willighagen who won Holland’s Got Talent at the age of nine without having a sing,e singing lesson, & even at that age, her stage presence in simply unbelievable. Absolutely no nerves; just loves singing & entertaining people. Anyway, I won’t go into her journey, but leave a few performances for your consideration. ( I’ve given her age on each of them. ) …. …. Ave Maria by Gomez at the Canisius Church at age 11. Her stillness & emotional interpretation is amazing. …. …. Nella Fantasia at age 12. ( the live concert performance ) …. …. Gabriella’s Song at age 13. ( again the live concert performance ) …. …. Sound of Music medley at age 15. She sings one octave above the original by Julie Andrews and nails it. Cheers, Graeme. ps. If your looking for stage presence, you really can’t go past Amira.

[@dennisdistor752]

His voice is like a country songs.. Lov it man

[@natividadlayagon8341]

Awesome singer...a beautiful voice..that pears the inner of my soul

[@adi-ndr]

That "Yes, I care" seemed to be straight from the heart 😉✌🏼

[@wingaming3250]

He's actually a street performer at first with only less than a dollar in his pocket a day, but God blessed him with such a cool voice.. Conclusion is nothing is impossible don't ever give up :)

[@mikesmolack199]

He sounds amazing but what I like most about this video is your looks! You are so pretty!

[@RexAlfieLee]

It was indeed beautiful. Well done Felix.

[@kenscott8966]

Great reaction! Felix is strong. When you get a chance please come back and react to more Angelina Jordan. She is 15yo now and extraordinary. She also covered "When We Were Young" and recently "All I Ask" (Adele) and "Billie Jean" (Michael Jackson) and "When You Believe" (Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey). Thanks.

[@irwanwann7138]

Omg what the voice..so talented 🔥🔥

[@davidmiera8858]

I have seen few of your reactions. You do such a good job teaching. I can see that you are very passionate and great vocals like this moves you and in this case, to tears. It is a beautiful thing when those incontrollable emotions take over. You are even more attractive when you show vulnerability. Thank you for being you. Loved your reaction! Very endearing! 😊🌹 Subscribed.

[@andrysutrisna6369]

Felix Irwan was born in Purworejo, Central Java, Indonesia on July 24, 1990. He is a simple young man who trying to find his luck by moving to Jakarta. Then he's running a business in Yogyakarta, but too bad his business gone bankrupt and he became a busker. One day someone saw his talent and invited him to become a singer at hotels, cafes, pubs and other informal events. His career was increasing when he participated in some contests like IMB in 2012, X-Factor in 2015, and The Voice Indonesia in 2016. Those events took part in the process of his musical career and introduced him to the Indonesian music industry.

[@iqball_sf7805]

so soulful

[@amaqteganang4948]

I think one of the reasons why he rarely face the camera when singing is because of the past experiences he had. He has been singing on the street of Jogjakarta for 10 something years only to feed him from hunger. He did try to enter the industry by auditioning on the Indonesian Idol and The Voice Indonesia but sadly he was rejected and and was sent home very early on The Voice. So glad, he didn't give up after receiving so many rejections. He went back to the street singing and surprisingly A hotel manager recognized his talent and offered him singing regularly in the hotel. That's where he make some connections with the awesome people around him today. Thank to you and everyone else on KZbin for supporting the true talents while the industry always put 'the look' first . It is hard to compete in the TV industry with those who have the look and money to create drama.
