Tom Ball - AGT All-Star GOLDEN BUZZER 🌟 "Sound Of Silence" | Marc Daniel Patrick Reacts

[@wendymcdowell2341]

I saw Tom perform on BGT first, and loved him, so I was excited for him to perform here. I’ve always loved “Sound of Silence” and have listened to it so many times I lost count long ago. Tom’s performance is, by far, my favorite version ever.

[@gohim2j]

I really appreciate your comments. To me, no contestant had more talent than Tom. I'd like to hear him in a competition with other singers. He's phenomenal.

[@cynthiamarohn1661]

Tom Ball is superb

[@lindamann2534]

I could listen to Tom sing for hours, absolute goosebumps feeling. He belongs in the Olympus of the most incredible singers

[@ANDRETOUJOUR]

‘Sound of Silence’ this stunning performance blows everyone away and gave this golden oldy a platina version ! This is far the best version ever in 50 years !!

[@beakalin3923]

Thank you so much for the reaction.🙏 Yes you are so right, how in the world could Tom remain undiscovered until now?! Such a brilliant voice, such charisma! I hope that he will not be forgotten now! For me he is the winner on all levels.

[@AdventuresWithCarissa]

This is the very definition of making an epic song your own. Absolutely Incredible Unique Vocal choices. 🤩

[@AG-so4gl]

Tom's the real deal. Went to drama school and is giving back as a school music teacher. Big WoW

[@SpongeBobbyBrady]

I very much appreciate how you don't stop the video or interrupt non-stop. Too many "reaction" KZbinrs constantly do so, seemingly only to hear themselves speak and feel relevant. You're much better than most.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

Ohh I used to be TERRIBLE at it, trust me :)

[@beadladyify]

I heard.Tom sing this and was floored. It was so powerful that I decided to save it and I listen to it every night. Thank you Tom.

[@davidhodgins7122]

This is the best performance pf this song I have ever heard. Amazing outstanding beautiful. Knocked it out of the park. Better than the original!!!

[@theonlydude1983]

I was very apprehensive watching him perform when i first saw it. Sound of silence is a tricky song to fully nail, but it didn't take long into the performance to appreciate the impressive beauty and power of his vocals and performance

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

its true. and lets not forget the original was so popular as a duet.

[@TomBombadil4real]

@@MarcDanielPatrick 1000% this

[@strawberryskittle]

Forestella did an amazing rendition as well.

[@TomBombadil4real]

@@strawberryskittle I haven't seen that one. I'll be checking it out shortly. Thanks for the recommendation

[@gros2576]

Tom Ball is the sensation of 2023. I listen to him every day. He is the best of the best and I absolutely love him. He has the most incredible way of conveying emotion in his voice. I can't wait until I see him in America. I will fly to multiple places to see him perform.

[@fluxrandom]

Feels good to see someone who appreciates this performance like I do.

[@sittinginlimbo513]

The way you react gives me life. The small wrinkle of your brow, the quiet smiles, the widening eyes (when you see Tom really come alive & makes his mark on this rendition for the first time), etc. I feel like I find a new way to enjoy this performance based on your reaction. Probably because I truly respect your comments & that your own knowledge & talent is informs them (in a great way). I’ve been watching your reactions on a whole bunch of videos (found you through Hamilton reactions) & I just get so much joy watching you react. There’s also something I can’t put my finger on, sort of like my fascination with Gerard Butler’s interpretation of the Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera. There’s just something about the emotion on his face made me fall in love with that story again.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

Aww thanks so much Beth. I truly cant stand watching myself, but im glad to hear you're able to tolerate it. :)

[@sonnyandcobi]

Tom's voice is stunning. I just found your channel and decided to subscribe. I love listening to Tom. Thank you posting this and I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@rhondalowe7547]

I always love to listen to your reactions and ^this one^ was ni exception to all you offer. Tom Ball's performance truly was stunning. The harmonies, his gorgeous, expressive voice with such passion in this song was beyond incredible! I truly believe that some people have that special gift - that *stuff of life and love* - others do not have in the way he does, and his gift is so unassuming and astounding and he sings with such ease! He is so genuine and that also impacts this performance! ust a magnificent song for him and audition for him ON AGT!

[@jenwilmes6983]

Hope he makes it big! What a voice! He seems like a lovely young man as well.

[@biscuitandme4119]

I love that you listen to it once with no commentary and then break it down ❤

[@karendavidson4897]

Hello from Australia, every time I hear Tom Ball sing I feel moved

[@robinvooijs]

To make a good song your own and go beyond, is really hard. This one is definitely a succes! I hope we see more of him.

[@lindaturner3964]

I just can't get enough of this guy! Would pay for his concert in a heartbeat.. come to the south USA!

[@jenniferhemmerlein]

This is a fantastic reaction--thanks! His other performances are also great, especially his cover of Radiohead's Creep. Somehow, he seems even better in that song, though this performance is spectacular.

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

hes got a special talent, thats for sure

[@cynthiamarohn1661]

Thank you for telling people the qualities of Tom Ball

[@ilsaruthen5478]

Marc, thanks for this. Tom Ball has a wonderful voice and you giving him exposure can only help him build his career.

[@MyPetIsaNazgul]

Thank you, Marc! You're the best. I was one of the people that requested this. I hope it doesn't get taken down, but if it does, at least I was able to see it first 😆

[@marcybrooks3425]

I love your comments! How has he not been discovered. I agree! I'm hoping someone like David Foster will pick him up. His techniques are so pure - you can tell he's worked like crazy.

[@barbaradenney3030]

I love this man. His voice is unbelievable! Can’t wait to buy his music.

[@rixx46]

Another nice thing about hearing these classic Pop songs covered is that they are new songs for new generations even though this one has been around for well over 50 years. It was some good shit back then!

[@Quotonset]

Thank you for this reaction. You expressed so well what I heard and felt when Tom sang this song.

[@nancymorton5636]

Tom is 24 now & just starting his voyage, & he got some exposure on BGT & now AGT. Yes, I don't get why they pitch singers against acrobats & comedians, but AGT started out as a variety show, great fun in the sun watching with your grandkids. You'll see who he is & what he stands for all fit perfectly with his being a teacher & working with children...especially the (we) geeks & misfits. Thanks for letting me watch your face as these huge smiles came across it....words don't work , except WOW,!

[@robertofont6069]

Thank you for this, Mark! This is a gifted singer. When he started I knew that this was a tenor. His low notes (B flat & A flat) are going to be breathy because his vocal folds will not come together and vibrate. The higher he sang, the clearer and more focused is the voice as the folds come together. He has a natural vibrato which I hope he never loses. His ultra high notes (B, D flat, D) have an interesting mix of head voice and falsetto. This is a voice of musical theatre and with serious training (not coaching) he could in time even do opera. WOW! My wish list continues to be you, Mark and Anthem from CHESS featuring Anthony Warlow.

[@cher6932]

Loved Tom’s voice. Wow. Great reaction

[@oakpark8555]

Thanks for listing to Tom ball. I enjoyed your pleasure watching him. He has added that strong emotional feature in the final performance of Creep it is so original and strong. If you do see this, please comment on the two very long notes he holds. They sent chiles up my spine..

[@witchycrone]

I can not get enough of his singing...he evokes emotion from deep within. I totally agree with you! AGT, BGT, just was not the right place! However, I would love to see him on the Voice, where it is all about the Voice! He would have to win! It was hard to see him loose to a comic and then an areial performer. Both were very good, but like you said, how can you compare a voice as his to that....especially his! I subcribed to you just for you saying that about talent shows. I know the judges feel this way also, but they were not the ones voting. I will listen to you again, so Thank You~

[@foyjustice7212]

Im no pro at all. But as a music lover Toms voice is just fantastic. The higher range he has. Love it.

[@shelbychesnut99]

You should also, if only for yourself, watch his BGT performances. They were amazing!

[@cher6932]

Love your analysis.

[@IZS13020]

Full body chills...

[@shaemousegenx]

Tom Ball should have won the competition hands down. He has a bright future ahead. He is currently singing on cruise ships and I know that he will propel to stardom!

[@jlethal1983]

I really like your format of review compared to others...To watch the performance and then go back and speak on it vs pausing it and starting so many times. Well done.

[@tulsavol6653]

As a baby boomer this ionic song has always been at the top of my all time favorites. Buy when I heard Tom's cover of this song, I thought I must be in heaven. This so far is of course my favorite version and can't stop playing it. You might want to review Angelina Jordan's abbreviated version of Bohemian Rhapsody....also outstanding!

[@pcosta24]

Thanks for doing this vid. This man is the mosy unquie singer I ever heard. I can't believe he didn't win. Who are the Super Fans that voted. The judges should do it from start to finish. Just a note: he sang "the Creep" for the final. Awesome. Futher more we have seen why he choose that song. Check it out of the "why". What a fantastic experiance to see all he has done. I agree it's amazing he is discovered now. Timing is everything.

[@cynthiamarohn1661]

❤ he is superb

[@starstuff84]

Few singers can cover this song and make it their own. Tom Ball did it with this performance.

His voice is just fine on its own, was just being over critical 🤷‍♂️

[@bettydiorio8551]

Love your reaction. His cover of Creap is even better.

[@davidbangtson3109]

Quite a good singer for sure. Loved how he made it unique as well. Will be interesting to see how far he goes.

[@natecorbz]

Definitely consider reacting to his other performances, like his ones on BGT. He’s incredible!

[@wendycole5754]

If you haven't already seen and heard it look up Noodle the cat on BGT. Tom is his voice and his version of "Live and let die" is the best version of that song to me.

[@kathybove2718]

My newest vocalist crush is Michael Ball. Tom Ball, supposedly, wanted to sing like Michael. Unfortunately, for so many of us in the US, their style of singing is not an overly popular one, so they are better known in the UK. I wish they were popular here and did more shows and concerts in the US. Plus, Tom Ball seems to even have the happy, friendly personality we are used to with Michael Ball. They are both incredible!!!

[@dianemariani1023]

Love Michael Ball ❤

[@cindykalionzes4259]

Been a fan of MB since the early 90’s (showing my age here). Those are big shoes for Tom to fill but I love seeing Michael (no relation) be so supportive, bringing Tom out at one of his own shows.

[@kathybove2718]

@Cindy Kalionzes I hate that I've missed 30 years of Michael Ball. I've watched videos of him since I discovered him on KZbin! You have really been able to watch him grow! Such a talent and a nice man to boot! My age is prohibitive of probably ever seeing him in person, but I still watch anything I can find of him singing. And I have almost all of his CDs!

[@BrendaAnderson]

I started my Michael Ball crush in 1989 when I saw him in the West End in Aspects of Love. Welcome! :)

[@ilsaruthen5478]

You're right about the US favoring a different style of music. Unless someone here is interested in musical theater they'd almost never hear of Michael Ball or anyone from the UK pop music/ musical theater world. Michael, of course, is world famous now, but seems to love his UK based life & career more than touring the world. Tom seems to be building a solid career in the UK. Whether he wants to take it global is yet to be seen. KZbin exposure can only help.

[@dawnmulder3540]

Goosebumps!!!!

[@richarddix213]

You must watch all of Tom ball's BGT stints, the guy is world class.

[@rixx46]

The way he dropped down a key on “SONGS that voices never…” that’s usually where, as Garfunkel did in the original recording, the singer goes up to a higher range. I think this served a dual purpose. [I am no singer!] It saved him from having to top a high note too early in the song, and it also reversed our anticipation of, how we think the song will sound having heard it thousands of times before. Keeps it more interesting and engaging. I need tremendous talent. He looks like Michael Bublé had a child with Bernadette Peters!

[@CandleLight1974]

You make a good point. The wonderful Tom was rightly expected after the auditions stage to win Britain's Got Talent but ended up third after Jamie Leahey, a beyond brilliant 13 year-old ventriloquist (who managed to make second place despite performing first in the final) and the winner, Axel Blake, a mediocre "comedian" who already had a career successful enough to sell out large venues but is a friend of judge, Alesha Dixon. However, the fact is that singers in reality TV singing competitions who are not "mainstream" have little chance in them as their purpose is to find a mainstream singer and give them a contract and have chart hits, so I have no problem with non-mainstream singers (opera, musical theatre, cross-over, etc) singersor groups appearing on '...Got Talent' shows.

[@sittinginlimbo513]

You should cover his version of “Creep”

I think Tom Ball is AMAZI NG!!!!

[@dawnvaughan6938]

You should try Beau Derment from BGT. Singing Deifying Gravity from Wicked.

[@celicynd]

So, there are two versions of Sound of Silence that your brain instantly tries to compare to... the original Simon and Garfunkel and Disturbed. What I like about this version is that, whie skewing towards the Disturbed rendition, it's neither. It's a unique take on the song. I don't necessarily agree with all the choices made, but man, that voice is amazing and I respect that he made it his own version.
