[@Pammie1221]

Every, every, every time I watch Dan perform this song, I have to sit quietly for a while. There is nothing left to say really.

[@Aurora-692]

Yep, I just cry my a.. off, and like a good masochist, I listen the next day too. No exit from Dan`s labyrinth.💜

[@Pammie1221]

@@Aurora-692 I don't know what it is about him, but I can't seem to get through a day without hearing his voice either. We got it bad girl.

[@Aurora-692]

@@Pammie1221 For me, it is his majestic voice, talent, dedication, hard work, passion for music, he is singing with his whole being. And he also reminds me so much of my son who is a year older than Dan, with a Bday on sept. 9, with the same sense of humor, same energy, same ... that play full, joy full, cheeky, cocky sparkle in his eyes, body posture. Except my son don`t know to sing at all. 😀🤗💜

[@Pammie1221]

@@Aurora-692 Perfectly stated! It sounds like your son is adorable and has so many other lovely gifts.

[@Aurora-692]

@@Pammie1221 Thank You, well he has, not that he is my son, but he really has, and he is handsome also 🥰, Virgo man, like Sean Connery, Richard Geer, Dan Vasc , Keanu Rives ..... my son looks a lot (for real) like Keanu (when he was younger ofc.). And they are all perfectionists, which we can see and hear listening to Dan. Every tone he sings must be on point. I have a feeling that he would sing something for weeks until HE is satisfied with it. That is a real dedication and passion for something One loves to do. Sorry for the "book" I wrote here.

[@milosen6744]

Imagine Dan on stage, performing this live in theatre. The audience would be a crying mess afterwards! Dan's face and body language tell you the story, and his voice makes you feel every word and every gesture. He's not just a singer, he's an actor and a true artist as well.

[@FinarfinNoldorin]

Seriously, he needs to be on Broadway. He is an amazing emotional storyteller as well as singer. He feels the song in a way not many can do. Absolutely amazing.

[@Aurora-692]

He is bigger then Broadway or any other stage. He needs to be and remain himself. Thank You Viking for reacting to Dan`s version of "Gethsemane", this is the best version I ever heard. This is ... something else. Coming from his heart, soul, his whole being is performing. Out of this world.

[@larryjackson6238]

I was going to say the same thing. Dan is made for Broadway!!!!

[@amandamckee9178]

I completely agree with you! I totally believe Dan**feels** words. His ability to not just sing (beautifully as we all know) but to *convey* a song is spellbinding! He is phenomenal!

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Yes! 😀

[@terryeallen-stoda2152]

When I saw this with Ted Neely, my heart hurt! But, with Dans incredible incredible rendition, my heart was ripped out and stomped on a few times! Ted Neely and others had great vocals, but Dan's are exceptional and yes, his eyes are so very expressive and conveys what he wants the viewers to feel! ❤ Thank you for your great reaction to Dans wonderful rendition!

[@dimihutch5210]

I wished ..English would be my native language... So I could find the right words....👍❤️RESPECT

[@margot.J]

There has never been an artist, that moves me so deeply !

[@yascaraalbuquerque512]

Never… 🥺

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

@margotjunghanns3072 Same here!

[@Kat-ds5xd]

I agree - how does he do this to us! I have never experienced this with any other artist EVER!

[@Margaret_Riggle4704]

How could you not cry when he went to his knees? I love your reactions. I feel they truly are honest. Just like Dan's honestly when he sings.

[@Lydelith]

I'm totally with you, Viking. Every single word you said, I can totally agree with. Thank you for your great response.

[@uddercharmsfarm8159]

This is a performance that should be on broadway! Great reaction!

[@shirleyemrick1700]

Dan puts all of his emotions in every song he sings. If you want to see his raw emotions, watch him sing An American Trilogy, which is a tribute to his father who was an Elvis fan. His father passed only five days prior to this recording. It’s heartbreaking to watch him struggle. I don’t know how he managed to finish that song, but he did.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Same here. Sometimes I go and watch it, just because I NEED to. I can't watch it, without (literally) saying to him, during the instrumental interval before the end, "It's OK, Dan. Hang in there. You can do it. You CAN!" ...and then crying WITH him at the end.

[@shirleyemrick1700]

It was heartbreaking to watch him constantly looking up towards heaven while sing this song. I don’t know how he managed to finish. It had to be pure love for his father that kept him going.

[@susanlosey9511]

WOW! I think this is the best song Dan has song. The power, your feeling every emotion. Viking I agree with everything you. Said about this song and Dan!

[@philipbaker5386]

He should be named DAMN Vasc. Damn that man is good.

[@margijohnson5728]

Absolutely astounding!!😮 His magnificent voice and his portrayal of Our Lord, is beyond phenomenal. As mentioned, it's so wonderful to experience this with you, as you understand the awe and love we have for Dan. Thank you again😘

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Agreed!

[@dimihutch5210]

Agreed !

[@Katybug335]

Your face as you watch Dan “says” everything-no words needed. But as always you’re very eloquent.

[@carmelitanobre8737]

Dan Vasc is the GOAT. Absolutely amazing,flawless,dynamic and jaw-dropping. He hits you right deep in the heart. Stunning. Great reaction.

[@BlackCat604_2]

I too have experienced many a Vasc trance, love that phrase. I usually need to stare aimlessly out a window for awhile after one. 😂

[@larrywright3132]

This was such a strong performance! Dan is a powerhouse vocalist and conveys emotions with ease and believability

[@Athainian1973]

When I suggested this song a few weeks back I was not aware it was already on your radar and that you knew it. I promised one of Dan's best dramatic performances as well as vocals. I am glad you enjoyed it as much as my family has, 3 generations now enjoy the song, but we all agree Dan is outstanding when he performs it.

[@meb8582]

This emotional and heart rendering performance from Dan gets me every time! Thanks for your great reaction, as usual!

[@tinalouise1764]

Wow just wow, Dan Vasc is absolutely incredible. He truly can sing anything and draw you in, holding your breath until the last note. So glad to have found him and he's been added to the other exceptional vocalists such as Elvis, Freddie Mercury, Andréa Bocelli. I just feel grateful to have been around with these beautiful amazing Souls that have gifted us with their God-given gifts which touch the Soul. Great reaction too.

[@margot.J]

Dan is the very best !!

[@dianegott9336]

Definitely hits you right in the heart. Love his voice

[@irisradinger1632]

Every time I listen to this song I'm at a loss for words. Dan Vasc Superstar!

[@Kat-ds5xd]

He is that for sure!

[@user-ko4fd7im3j]

What is there to say about Dan's performance except WOW!!!

[@debbiedragone1451]

I love watching you react to Dan! My goosebumps get goosebumps!

[@Kat-ds5xd]

🤣love that🤣

[@raskalkat9092]

Technique & skill will only get you so far. Passion for what you do, passion for the material, this is what puts Dan's performances in the top tier. This man expects the best from himself & the results speak for themselves. The last line of this song, as always, absolutely heart wrenching. Great reaction. Hail Vasc-Nation ❤️🤘✝️

[@Laurgal5]

Vasc Nation 🤟

[@jamesleasure8836]

Hail Hydra.... I mean, Hail Vasc Nation. 😂

[@Gamergrann1e]

This young man has been blessed with a gift we are all in awe of. And how blessed are we to be able to be swept in to his interpretation of the lyrics he sings! For a few moments we journey in to a story he tells so well. Either a lone man in love with one he can not have or tossing a coin at a Witcher who is hated. I feel so fortunate this young man was discovered. I hope he knows how he has affected so many of us with just being who he is. Dan Vasc! And you show him such respect in your reactions. TY

[@IsabelRavenscroft-sh2yk]

That is why we LOVE Dan!! I saw Jesus in him. Greetings from South Africa

[@carolhall3565]

Many thanks for sharing your wonderful reaction to this masterpiece from Dan. He evokes such strong emotions with this rendition and I am in awe of his ability to convey the message in such a powerful manner. I look forward to seeing what your next reaction to him will be. 🎶🌟🎶

[@jamesleasure8836]

My heart is breaking. It is a real crime that this man is not on Broadway.

[@joettamcqueen1954]

You SO get Dan. It's awesome to watch him touch your heart. Your understanding of his talent and aquired skills makes your opinion so much more meaningful than that of most other reactors. Thanks for that! See you at the next DV lovefest!❤

[@surettabarnard1926]

Absolutely loved this reaction video of yours 🥰 I thought I was overreacting to Dan's videos, but happy to see I am not the only one absolutely in love with his singing, his passion and his love for life. How is Dan not a household name yet?

[@gaylehelm2437]

Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece by Dan. It breaks my heart every time I hear it. Dan embodies the story in this song.

[@jamesleasure8836]

Viking, you are quickly becoming my favorite reviewer. Have to say, the irony is not lost on me that you said it would take you 3 days to recover from this performance... 3 days..... and on the 3rd day He arose. And you arose to do more Dan Vasc reviews! Hail Vasc Nation!

[@PeggyGeerts-gm6ph]

The world belongs to Dan and Dan belongs to all worlds! So beautiful ❤❤❤

[@tclark7802]

I too am a HUGE Dan Vasc fanatic. I first heard him when I watched his Easter video this year of Amazing Grace. After that I just HAD to get MORE of him. So I binge watched him for days & quickly became addicted to his talent. He's completely AMAZING!!! He's the ultimate TOTAL PACKAGE if I ever saw one. I mean seriously... LOOK at him!! He's GORGEOUS!!! 💕😁💕

[@Canineconnection1555]

This man alone has brought me back to my faith! Thank you Dan!

[@CindyJoGorman-bt9ro]

That's what keeps us coming back to Dan, his Emotional performance! He just sucks you in and there's no escape! I really hope he comes on your Podcast, he very personable, intelligent and Funny! Thank you for Another Great reaction!

[@scotteustice6230]

I'm 63 and that may be the most incredible performance I've ever seen.

[@JoanFrayer-kh6ez]

I love Dan Vasc too!! This song makes me bow my head in pray and listen to Dan take me to heaven. He is incredible. Epic performance!! Huge Dan fan. ❤

[@user-jb7do3qd8p]

Hopefully he will respond to you because I would LOVE to see the two of you interacting! Your reactions are “heartfelt” and I so enjoy your reactions to Dan.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

I agree! I'm thinking a conversation between the two WILL be FIRE!!! 😀

[@kayjohnson8377]

He is perfect every song! His story-telling is impeccable as he becomes the story. He puts all the spice into a song, in all the right places. Wonderful performer. The Last Stand, The Last Goodbye, Poker Face and The Song of the White Wolf are equally as perfect….along with a catalog of many more songs.

[@pbjabq]

I have so wanted to see your reaction to Dan's amazing portrayal of the "Agony of the Garden." Thank you, so much. He grabs my heart and when he hits his knees, the tears flow. His emotional performance of the turmoil and struggle "He" had with his humanity knowing what was coming opened the insight to relay this to the Adult Sacramental class I was teaching this last Spring. Always gives me pause to reflect.❤

[@karenmcmahan4794]

Dan emotes the lyrics of every song he performs. Wonderful reaction! I'm going to watch again!

[@LianteakaLia]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for reacting to this song! I wasn't on time to recommend it to you but I've been asking for this song whenever I see someone do a reaction to Dan Vasc. Because for the longest time no one gave this masterpiece the attention it rightly deserves. I was looking for reactions to this song for years and came up empty. It's only in the last year or so that it's been popping up more often. So I'm so happy to see your heartwarming reaction to it. :D I agree with what you said about him not acting it out. I've always said that he doesn't sing it, he *performs* it. I've seen this musical on stage 3 times, seen a few recorded plays and listened to several versions of it. But my favourite is the original recording before it was ever put on stage with Ian Gillian as Jesus. And before I heard Dan Vasc perform it I had never heard anyone even come near what Ian does with it, but Dan is a very close second, and that is the highest praise I could give to anyone performing this song. The high notes are absolutely stunning. But to be honest, it's the second part of the song as he drops to his knees that is my absolute favourite. I've heard it more times than I can count and it still gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up. The sheer amount of emotion that he displays is just fenomenal. The shaky breaths before he starts to sing again is like a dagger to the heart. Just amazing. Thank you again for reacting to it and it was awesome to see that you loved it just as much as I did the first time I heard it.

[@Kat-ds5xd]

I agree totally. I couldn't understand why this wasn't everywhere. It's weird how this doesn't follow logic.

[@debrabarkley866]

Love your reaction and your love of Dan. We love you too. Keep them coming.

[@emanuelamarchetti9862]

Another great soul performance 😢

[@sandycox2058]

Viking, that was excellent. I am not religious but Dan singing this moves me every time. ( I would love to see you interview Dan but he has said he rarely checks his emails as there are so many of them and he doesn't have the time to read them all. You may have better luck on one of his other social medias.)

[@slowfud]

Dan said he never checks his FB messages for lack of time, but I heard him in a stream with his friend gamers giving his email to someone for the possibility of a collab. It might take him sometime to respond because of his present projects but have faith.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

@@slowfud Yes.

[@cindydixon1259]

He becomes the songs he sings❤❤❤❤

[@vvive2011]

Phenomenal! No more Words…

[@divab63]

I love watching your reactions to Dan! You are so genuine in showing how his music makes you feel.

[@claudiamarsh1648]

I love your reaction to Dan Vasc! Exactly how I feel every time I hear/see him perform. He taps into the emotion of a song so strongly that he never fails to make me feel that emotion. Absolutely grateful to have discovered his amazing talent.

[@cclarke9301]

I’m sure I saw tears from Dan. This grabbed my heart so big, I can’t even describe. Thank you Viking♥️

[@user-xp5cz2dp8w]

Dan is fantastic! I love your emotion and honesty. I hope Dan responds to your request.

[@josiahrobinson6135]

Excellent reaction! So nice to see someone else who really appreciates what Dan does and has obvious joy in what he's doing. Reactions to any Dan songs will be watched, so keep them coming.

This is painful to watch... it hurts my heart. But it is so beautiful and emotionally riveting.

[@CN-zi4gs]

So intense! I almost forgot to breathe…

[@hummerjanine]

Every time I see and hear Dan, portray what he feels, while bringing his own interpretation of any song… I’m in awe of the emotion he elicits from the very core of my being. ‘This’ however, actually hurt my heart. I truly felt my heart aching within me. I just had to express it; after hearing how you; yourself were looking for the right words. Believe me…you’ll hear them, within 🕊

[@veronicarhoda9947]

This was Epic, I have no words to describe Dan's rendition of this song, he can't be from this world. Shakespeare would have loved this guy, Beethoven, Mozart etc.,, you name it. God bless you🙏🙌👌👋🌟🎶❤️🌹

[@ellenduebrynjulfsen3394]

You say what we all see, hear and feels. I think he is hired from the heavenly choir. GOT his voice from God. Love from Norway, and another viking❤🇳🇴🇳🇴❤

[@gabivonkiedrowski3805]

Thank you for your great reaction to this outstanding performance of Dan Vasc. He is a very passionate musician and often chooses songs that have a special meaning for him. Another good example of this passion is his Dragonforce cover "Dawn over a new world". I would like to see your reaction to this song.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Oh, YES! PLEASE, a reaction to "Dawn Over a New World!"

[@teriwood1361]

Thank you so much for great reaction to Dan's powerful performance. Every time I see it I'm emotional, you always describe my feelings. I am so anxious for your podcast, I am sure Dan gets many requests for interviews. I have my fingers crossed he responds to you.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Me, too! Believing it will happen! I've seen Dan do a number of podcasts before, and once he's able to do one, it's WELL worth watching and listening to. Watching Dan and Viking have a conversation should be...just...WOW!!!

[@bluejeans9526]

At around the 7:00 minute mark, I was completely mesmerized by Dan's performance and then I glanced down and you had written "I'd love to see him play a Disney villain". Seriously, you were thinking about Disney at that time? Haha I laughed so hard I had to watch your reaction again, because I couldn't see through all the tears. That's what I like about you, you seem very genuine and I love your sense of humor. Thanks for the reaction. Please do a reaction for Dan's "Son of Pain". It should have a lot more views than what it has.

[@VikingReacts]

Hahaha, these are the things that come to mind whilst watching it again and again during the editing ;)

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

@@VikingReacts I LOVE those notes. They usually "make" my day. Regarding this particular note, I'm REALLY hoping you will react to Dan's "Burn Butcher Burn" sometime soon! 😀

[@sjenny5891]

I could have sworn he already did Disney Villans.... and I can't find it. I've been watching too much Payton Parris and Johnathin Young.

[@acurtis1735]

I totally agree with you. Dans interpretation brought me to tears. Love him too.

[@mamalinhager]

I have watched him do this performance.... well, let's just say a big bunch of times. It actually gets better the more I watch him. He is so very talented in so many ways. I hope you get to do the podcast with him. Would enjoy that a lot. I've seen lots of interviews. I've seen him at home talking to us about different things. I like this young man. I like him a lot!!!!! I will shortly be 82 years old.... only one other artist ever touched me the way Dan does... Thank you for your review... 😁

[@shilohauraable]

I just listen in amazement every time I watch this! Just mesmerizing! 💖

[@kristinabassi4215]

After that, you have to come to terms with your emotions first, right? Oh yes, so wonderful. Highest level. I am always overwhelmed by so much skill ❤

[@PatPrice-fn4ws]

I totally agree with you. I feel each one of his covers he does the same. And yes it is in the eyes. All beautifully sang . Epic ::: Dan knows how to make the covers live

[@wyerenthbludragon7549]

He hits you squarely in the heart! His eyes pull you in and (like you said, rightly) mesmerizes you. Dan is the total package! The world stops when he sings! Your reaction was priceless. Thanks!

Dan Vasc at his best. Can't wait to see Viking lose it. Great Reaction.

[@carolinevoncanon8442]

Dan has been on vacation for 2 weeks so don't worry if you have not heard back from him yet - he probably has a backlog of things to listen to. He should be back now and catching up. Mesmerizing.....huh.

[@deniseduncan7363]

I enjoyed your Premier reaction so much that now, a couple hours later, I need to rewatch it.😅 This song is on one of my "go to" playlists, so I listen to it at least twice a week since I first found it 3 months ago.

Viking is my favorite person to look for a reaction. He has a nice big screen so we can see DAN even better. Thank you Viking for your reviews, I’m a little obsessed with Dan now!

I was spellbound watching this and it pulled emotion out of me I didn't know was there. He has an amazing voice and is obviously a great actor. Thank you for this. Great reaction.

[@silviak5568]

You're soooo right, Dan IS every song he performs, no matter what kind of song, he always nails it's content by voice and all his expression. This man is phenomenon by himself.

[@edwardphillips9575]

Thank you for your wonderful reactions of Dan Vasc. I also thank you for showing a much larger screen of the artist singing compared to most showing a small screen. It helps to see and "feel" his emotions. Well done! Continue your fine work and stay strong!

[@user-gc1cp1xp5i]

Another wonderful and insightful reaction from you, Viking. Thank you.🙌 Yes, Dan is a Christian and is proud to say so. Dan is an incredible human in so many ways with skills that I believe to be unmatched by anybody on this planet….. not just vocal skills but acting too. It takes a person with passion and heart to pull people in the way he does. This was simply stunning. What a phenomenal and passionate performance from Dan Vasc. I was absolutely mesmerized. This was so agonizingly beautiful.✨🥀🕊️

I subscribed to your channel because you speak to my heart with your comments and reactions. Dan is simply wonderful in everything he does. You can see his soul in his eyes, that is also a gift.❤ I see that too. And I feel it. Unfortunately there aren't that many people like that anymore. By the way, I also listen to Tommy Johannson a lot. Thank you for your great reactions.🙏

It's not technique, or talent, or method, it's pure emotion! It's honesty and emotion! It's pouring out your heart!

[@MarySiddell]

I hope he thanks God everyday for the gift of that voice. I love this man. I am 79 years old and have no reason why I listen to heavy metal and grunge,but if I didn't I would not have found him and would not have heard this. There are no words sufficient to describe this. It is the same feeling I had after watching "Passion of The Christ".

[@Nanadina51]

Feel the same (73). ❤❤

[@nancyjanssen6785]

How amazing is that performance .... indeed what can you say to that ... nothing to add ! Perfection !

[@BreeMisunderstood]

Loved your thoughts on this song from the play, at the time it came out bible thumpers were angry of the interpretation of Jesus at the garden of Gethsemane. Making him more human. Thanks Viking for playing an almost lost song. I think you’ll love Dans version of Fairy Tale -cover of shaman and Andre Matos no longer with us on earth from Shaman.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

"Fairy Tale" is one of my VERY favorite videos in Dan's "library." It's so beautiful. A couple of weeks ago, I printed out the lyrics for myself, so I could put the story together in my brain. Once that was done, I listened to Dan singing it again, and...OH, MY WORD!!!

[@patiencerose]

I would love to see your reaction to Dan's version of My Mother Told Me. Mostly because of the Viking thing lol, but also because it's Dan, very manly and its awesome. Just watched this reaction 3 times, I really need to go to bed.

[@hummerjanine]

I would like to personally thank you for not pausing after every two words, like many of your counterparts do. It is greatly appreciated… and enjoyable seeing your reaction. 💫

[@VikingReacts]

I pause whenever I feel the need to point something out. You won’t like all my videos as I have been nicknamed “Sir Goesbackalot” at some point ;)

[@PeggiandSteve]

I agree, DAN filled this role so perfected and lovely and sad. ❤😮❤
