- I decided to go Union Sq Park in NYC just to ask random people to sing with me on Halloween night. That's when I met Eli Thomas! I appreciate him for sharing his voice, and it's clear that he's been working hard to hone his craft over the years. Even though I don't go looking for talent, it's clear that Eli sure has a lot of it. (@imelithomas)
As a musician, I'm all about creating musical experiences that have people feeling happy and free, and that's why the "Sing With Me" series exists. Since 2018, I have asked thousands of random people to sing with me on camera. A lot of people have said no, some have said no initially but changed their minds to yes, and some have said yes right away. I ask these people to sing with one purpose: to create a way for them to experience a sense of happiness and freedom they did not feel before. And much of the time, this actually works (and that makes ME happy).

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh, ooh, hoo
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh
And that haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh, ooh, hoo
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man - Hudba
It’s the “hallelujah” after the bridge for me 😂😂😂 thank you everyone for your KIND comments!! Sending light and love to each and every one of you ♥️♥️♥️
EDIT:
So I ran into Guitaro5000 in Union Square after walking in the Halloween Parade downtown! My roommate and I were looking for something fun to do, and there seemed to be some crazy things going on around us. We just stuck around for the fun of it! When I saw Reggie and his sign that said “Sing with me for free!”, I knew I had to take the opportunity. I actually felt like something called me to do it. LITTLE DID I KNOW this guy had a whole team of cameras documenting the whole thing. I am truly the most grateful to have stumbled upon you, Reggie!
Coming to the city hasn’t been the easiest experience for me, but there have been a couple moments of magic like this one that remind me why I came to NYC in the first place. I have been itching to get out and sing for people and this experience with Guitaro5000 gave me SO MUCH JOY! I was on cloud nine for the rest of the night. I wish I wasn’t so nervous in the video so I could have expressed my gratitude better in person... I can’t wait to see more content from you, Guitaro5000 and hopefully collab again in the future! ♥️

@@samuelsepfarman I heard it but found so many profiles with the same name... Ups: Thanks for had me hear it again, I typed a different one, my bad.
Hahaha Once I have heard Hallelujah I saw your comment too haha so hilarious. So lovely performance 🙌
Great job!
he's not just an incredible singer, he's a performer! there was audience interaction, he was having a great time, he was confident. if he pursued a career in music he would do really well
Professional Nanny;
Barry Poppins 😂
Good singer.
I am Eli Thomas was impressive...wowzers...I am glad he's following his passion. It suits him Bravo! Bravo!
I love it he can sing congrats
i was just gon say that! but i guess I'm a month late aye
If ...he’s totally magic and his nature!
This guy deserves to make it in our world. His voice is absolutely beautiful and so soothing to listen to
Yes agree someone give him a recording contract.
That was beautiful. What high notes!! You sure find some powerful singers!!!
Amazing opportunity for folks to shine love these💙💙🧡🧡💙💙
Not manney can sing ? But thouse who can jump at the chance 💯
I wish I could ? I would say the feeling is a great one ,, WOW 👌
When he said “wish me luck” he didn’t need it lmao.
He sounds really good. Go Audition some where!!!!!
And he KNEW it. That's called False humility. Cockyness in disguise... 🤷♂️
When you mess up the lyrics and STILL hold the audience - You are doing good! Not only a good singer - But a showman as well!
Thank you for posting this kind remark. I love this guy, great voice. I am a 72 year old mother to three, grandmother to one (college student) and music fan for life. I spend a lot of time seeing live bands where I live in Northern California. I was one of the thousands of kids who ran away from home (cow town in NY State) and I came to San Francisco to join the Hippies. All my kids love it here and all still live in the SF Bay Area, and Santa Cruz Area. There is so much music in the entire area. Festivals all summer into the fall.
That's what I'm talking about exactly!
That's my FAVOURITE. His voice , sensitivity and humour are so lovable.❤❤❤
When I hear singing but like this in public I feel so much more alive. This performance was enormous❤
His energy reminded me of Boy George, and could imagine he could sing some of those covers.
The nanny's got some pipes. Not an easy song to stay on key even when warmed up and ready. People are amazing.
People are so freaking amazing!!! This is the pure joy God must take pleasure in when He marvels at His creation. As opposed to how it must break His heart when corruption brings evil down around us.
No joke. That’s a very hard song. Killed the runs too.
Wow wow wow, so incredible such a voice! First time I’ve heard this song it’s just heart wrenching beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
That was beautiful! 5:27
This would be a great video for Eli to use when applying for theater work. I wish him luck.
That's what I'm hoping he would do.
@@guitaro5000 I can't believe I missed this. I was at Union Square that day of the parade but was there like around 10-12:30am. What time were you there until??? Hope to see more of the vid of the other singers who sang with you during the Halloween Parade. :)
@@MissHitAllTheTime We stopped exactly at 10pm. I tried to film in Times Square during the day, but we kept getting shut down for hours and didn't even have one guest to film. I didn't know about the parade. By the 4th hour, I just decided to Union sq because at the very least I'd find characters there. Next time I'm going to apply for a filming and amplification permit so I can actually announce my location.
@@guitaro5000 u gotta do this again next year. Looks like a lot of people love the performance of you playing the guitar and then especially if someone that could sing volunteer to sing which is nice...and then the crowd was lit too. Yea, everyone you saw there were from the parade each year it's normal for them to stop by the parade and hang out there until it's time for them to go home. The parade usually ends around Union SQ 14-17th st area on 6th Ave so Union SQ is not a far walk for most of them end up also
Going to Union SQ to meet up with their friends because depending on how many people some of them lose their friends in the parade 😂 so it's easiest and best spot to meet up with them there...
Charismatic and talented, all the best from New Zealand!
this illustrates how many talented folks are out there that we don't know about. he did this w/o fancy studio equipment or retakes/dubbing etc. how inspiring!
Eli can definitely sing. It's not an easy song to sing and he nailed it imho.
Listen to: Ian stratis when I was your man - at the show your face sounds familiar in Greece.
😘😘😘
Amazing
Fantastico..veramente ❤👏
Not sure if you realize how hard that song is to sing, he killed it, wow
When he nonchalantly picked that song, I knew Doris was bringing the heat
Yes and no rehearsals to prepare for those street performances. I think he did great!
those runs was crazy good man 😍😍😍😍
🔥🔥🔥
It was insanely awesome!!
I love bow even when he missed and forgot the lyrics he still yeld it together and kept on going. Absolutely amazing voice!
He was so nervous and yet he still killed it. Very nice voice and very bright personality. Loved it.
It's a shame that talented artists, like these two guys, have to live a meager existence, earning very little money. While the world is in desperate need of these beautiful souls. Please people always support artist in any form, don't turn your back on them, we need them and they deserve our support.
Exactly
I concur.
I agree somewhat but there is a lot to say about "paying your dues" too. Anything really good in life that is worth having, is so much better if it is earned. And just because someone is a busker, doesn't mean that they don't have a "day" job!! I was a nanny and I made $25.00 per hour. But where I lived was a lot cheaper than New York!!
yeah very true. Hope to see eli out there making it big!!
let's support street artists....ALWAYS!!
Eli nailed it… I knew it was going to be lit when he said “I can sing it in its original key”. 🔥
I knew it was gonna be lit when he made it in the video
Fam. Same
So much talent in our country. This guy has such a BEAUTIFUL VOICE. I wish you much success.
Welcome to New York City! Thank you Eli!
Holy shit that dude straight up killed it! I got chills a few times! Probably the best singer you've ever had on here.
No way the Irish lady that did zombie is the best
@@aliasofanalias7448 She was really good too. I had forgotten about her.
@@shepshape2585 I'm biased I love the Irish accent haha
Same
Wonderful she Made it! ♥️
I have watched this countless of times, I hope Eli gets the break he deserves, he is really talented.
Me too! Did you go to his channel and listen to some other stuff?
@@mosart7025 I did, I even left a comment on Bruno Mars channel to go listen to him.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺🐨
It's my 4th time here..Both are wonderful and absolutely phenomenal in there domain..Huge respect to both the artist. The combo worked really great .
Eli!!! Oh my goodness! Loved your rendition of this song! Thank you for sharing your beautiful light with the world.
My goodness!! Eli is fantastic
This is the reason I watch. You never know who is gonna show up and SHOW OUT! 👏 👍
FACTS
I love his voice. He needs to be in the studio making money.
I think he is too sensitive for the discipline required to last in the cold music world. He is better off doing his amazing singing separately from money. OK ? -_- ( the last OK bit was a joke )
Thank you Crystal! That’s the dream 😍
@@imelithomas you should make it and you can make it, you have a beautiful voice and soul touching people's hearts
Wow, that young man has amazing natural talent and a beautiful voice!
The first note….SHOOK.
Wishing you much success on your journey! 💕
Him being dressed as a step sister takes When I Was Your Man to a whole different level lol.
This comment wins
Bam, You got that awareness turned up, Good on you J.C.
@@imelithomas Haha thanks man, your cover wins
😂😂😂😂
True... but what dude yells at 5:14 takes it to a whole nother level. Lol
"Eli you blew this out of the water" Great successful auditions await you Eli 🌟🌟🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Dang he has an incredible voice! I prefer his voice over Bruno Mars’. What a voice!
“Wish me luck” was so genuine 😍
This dude is not just an amazing musician. He really knows how to connect with people and make then fill calm. This is also a great leader’s skill.
Man this guy is great! Don't stop singing dude ever.
dude is a great song!
@@MarsLonsen I think he meant to say - Dude, Don't ever stop singing.
This guy sings beautiful. And is so humble.
Eli bravo my dear.
I’m from Michigan So I understand the barriers you were faced with back there.
I live in California now but it took me fifty years, a divorce and a diagnosis to make me realize that
I needed to go. Go find my own new life in a new place.
So I applaud you for being so BRAVE and confident as to move to NYC to start your new life as a performer.
YOU are far more talented than I ever dreamed of being. Clearly entertainment is your VIBE
WELL DONE my dear
Light up the stage on Broadway and fulfill your dreams. Wow you are amazing.
Thanks for performing with Reggie
He’s great as well.
All the best you you both.
(I never heard that BrunoMars song before
Now I love it 🥰) and I love you ❤️
Thankyousomuch
“I’ve been singing my whole life” I believe that 😂😂😂 I loved his energy so much this was awesome man.
his CZcams page has him singing as a kid
@@Group_Anonymous yeah I saw it was great.
That the performance wasn’t perfect; he lost his way a couple of times, yet still kept it together, shows what a real performer Eli is. That was really something special. I will now rewind and listen again!
Just checked his IG. Dude’s range is so amazing he can do Bruno Mars and Sam Smith which is really hard for me even tho I can carry a tune haha! He is now a cruise singer and I think this video helped him got discovered.
his IG, please?
IG???

I wish Eli all the best. Amazing voice!
He is a great singer, I hope he has more appearances and that he takes advantage of his talent.
The more of these I watch, the better I feel. This is going to be my new go to channel for when I need to regain my faith in humanity. Reggie has a gift for getting so much talent out of these people. ELI! You were amazing. I really hope I get to hear you sing again in another venue.
Totally agree, Go to Channel
Comes with a price, quite a few tears.
Me too…
Same here.
Who’s your fave?
I have to hear ‘Skibum’ Greg several times a day.
That man _became_ the song, I get goosebumps just thinking about it
His voice is effortless and beautiful my God can he can sing those high notes with such clarity and emotion. Love his voice what a stunning performance. Someone should sign him.
Satan can sing beautifully in any octave or gene.
@@MusicEchos meaning?
@@geloof-hoop-liefde. hes prolly saying that because the guy is wearing fem clothes hes prolly just homophobic dont mind him
To the person who sang Bruno Mars .. This is for you 💐💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐❤️
❤❤ Don't you ever change, Eli. Great personality and voice you have ❤❤
That's a brilliant singing. Gitaro5000, you're doing a great service to performers and audience alike. May you live long, healthy, welthy and happy life.
He's an angel and I have no doubt about that.
He made me cry! I don't know why I'm crying.
same!!
💖💖💖💖
@nelva zapata me, too🌠
It was his voice and sincerity. He was so awesome, that I had to come back to watch it again.
Yep. Same. Moved.
Eli was awesome! I wish him all the best in pursuing his singing career!❤😊🌟🌟🌟
Freaking AMAZING VOICE!! O" LORD... HES BLESSED!!!
Hello, you got a pretty and a very beautiful smile, how are you?
This song is literally taking me back 40yrs to when I took my fiance' for granted, and I had absolutely no idea how much she loved me (because I was so self-absorbed & stupid).
Every word of this beautifully sung song fills me with regret over the many choices I've made in my 72yrs.
So, if anyone knows an English lady called Judith Home who is 71 & may live in Canmore, Alberta, Canada please tell her that I have always loved her and wish her well.
Please show her this so that she may contact me if she wants to.
Willie Nelson sang "You were always on my mind". This song brings back the same memories.
While I was listening to this I thought my spouse of 36 years really needed to listen to this as he has now lost any love I had for him due to his narcissistic ways and me just realizing he is a narc. I am glad you have recognized your errors of the past.
Brought me to tears. Your comment and the singing.
So beautiful I hope y'all find each other again 💕
Brian I hope you find Judith 🤞🙏
Internet sleuths:. This is your mission
He’s a real a performer. Doesn’t crack under pressure and continues with the show. Great soul.👏👏👏👏🙌❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🤩🤩🤩🤩
Wow, that was incredible! Eli is so talented I'm so happy I got to see it!!
Young brother has some pipes!! Great job Eli!!
I hope he sings for the children he cares for. He is gifted
Same! Unfortunately too often kids don’t appreciate the talent or skill lol I sing for my son and he interrupts me and asks if he can watch power rangers on my phone 😂😂😭
This guy is an exemplary performer !! Brilliant.
He's even more emotional than Mars in delivering the song......lovely? Sure. Lovelier....YES. It made me breathless listening to every line savored it as if I was young. Eli, thank you huge for joining Reggie's awesome act. God bless you abundantly.
You are so talented in your voice. I hope your career takes you to another dimension. May God always keep you in His Blessings. I hope you could find a way to letting us hear your voice again!❤🙏🏻🥰
That “Hallelujah” took me out!!! He smashed that run and bridge 🙌🏾
Elie Thomas, I am cheering you all the way from Tanzania. Thank you for this piece of joy you offered. I hope you get to live your dreams. True, pure talent. 💙💜❤️
Made me cry it was so beautiful... 😢 he deserves to be performing on a stage...
That was a better performance than 50 per-cent of signed artists that I have seen live. The talent is definitely there and the personality and Leadership at the microphone was really natural and great!
I can now die and go to heaven!! I just heard Doris from Shrek sing Bruno Mars!! :). Life is good !! :). God bless 🤣💝
This dude is cool , he has great social skills, treats people with respect and likes to have fun. More power to you my man !
Honestly. It's so amazing since this song is hard to sing it out in live performance. He did it like a professional singer. Dude.. you should change your life, you can be a singer. A real singer in a hotel or cafe or even on a recording as A SINGER!!!
Dude is amazing! The voice and the soulfulness is just wow!
I loved EVERYTHING about this! And he NAILED the Doris from Shrek costume! Eli Thomas needs to be rockin' the stage on Broadway!
Amazing! Eli sings great but his personality lights up the night, what a star 😊👌
Great song and it was sung so well... Even on the parts that weren't remembered! :) Great guitar skill too! Ty for bringing people to the mic... I love seeing everybody and anybody belt out those tunes... They always seem so refreshed and happier after the song is done!
DUDE YOU KILLED IT 💯
LOST LYRICS AND ALL ❤
I HOPE YOU GO FAR UP THE ENTERTAINMENT LADDER GOOD LUCK 🙏
You killed it Elijah Thomas! Beautiful voice and great interaction with the crowd! Wishing you the best ❤️
OMG!!! I was literally in freakin tears!! So beautiful and touching!! Keep singing your a beautiful person with the voice of an angel!!!
eli, you are AMAZING. the absolute best. thank you!
This is my favorite episode thus far! I could listen to Eli sing for hours on end. He seems to have a great personality to boot.
What a lovely gesture from the guitar man in bringing all the walks of life together in having them sing! It looked like everyone were having a great night out! FABULOUS!
He’s got a great voice and I love his costume lol
Nanny Eli was GREAT!! Bravo!!! God loves you and gave you a Great gift!! All the best!!!! 🎉
Eli, Your performance gave me goosebumps.. Simply amazing ❤🔥🙌🏼💯
I did not realize it was Halloween at first….great job!!!! Beautiful voice!
I love the level of confidence to stand and sing that song specifically in a dress! You have great tone and amazing control over all your notes. I was blown away by how you do sound a bit like Bruno Mars, But I think you have the kind of vocal tones that could really kill it with any song. Keep rollin Eli, we all here for it! Hugs to you and Reggie. And stay safe.
what a voice love it
This is my most favorite episode of Guitaro5000 ever! I imagine I have watched it 20 times or so. I very much LOVE Eli's singing voice and he seems to be a very pleasant young man with a great personality. I was surprised to read below where he said he was nervous, because he came across so easy going, jovial, relaxed, extroverted, and a natural in front of the mic not only with his excellent singing talent but with how he interacted with the crowd so much and in such a fun way! He is a performer and not just a singer! I think Eli sings this song better than Bruno did! How I wish you would have asked him to sing another song with you. I would love to buy an album of his if he ever records one! I hope whatever he is doing now, that he is putting his musical talent to good use and has found much success using his vocal and performance skills!
he made me feel like I was watching some x-factor or American idol audition lol he's really good, and I know he didn't give his full potential, imagine if he gives the %100, a born artist!
I hope Eli Thomas does well with his career. His voice is amazing, hitting all the highs & the reception from his audience shows his potential as a star.
awesome vocals! way to go nanny!
You sing beautifully, best wishes my dear Eli Thomas from Indiana. So proud of you.
And thank you Guitaro!!!!
Guitaro, I love it when people are excited, clearly nervous, and feeling just a bit apprehensive but in the moment risk showing any type of vulnerability. It is truly a beautiful thing to witness that emotion that fills them, or rather witness them releasing that which fills and over flows them when they sing, play music, dance, paint, or in whatever form their creativity takes. In Eli Thomas case, singing was his way of expressing his joy filled heart. It was real, raw, and you both made it memorable, Thank you. And I wish him the blessings of opportunity to share that joy with others.
Oh my! He is incredible! A star is…….found. That’s half the battle. And of course the guitar is incredible as always. Reggie doing us all a solid with his incredible personality and channel. Thank you so much! I love what you do. Most importantly, I love the people and personalities you introduce us to.
I, Yes ! Reggie is Great & I can feel his Love for people.. Wonderful Person, God Bless him and his family 💜 🕊️ 🙏
What a voice! Fabulous!
I have this video saved to my favorites. Eli you have a killer voice. I'll be looking for you!
I love the energy of the nanny. Beautiful personality.
Wow wow, he has a beautiful soul!
See, I felt that same thing too!! 😊
Beautiful song and good performance.
Excellent voice ely!
Eli, that was sick! Great entertainment, good luck with entertaining us all one day!
Ohh Eli and Reggie, I can hardly type for the big tears in my eyes! Your music moved me. Eli I loved how you showed courage yet you twisted your costume from being nervous. I loved how you responded when you didn't have the lyrics and yet your improvisation was perfect. Your vulnerability was some of the charm but your raw talent is evident. You need to come to Hollywood.
Beautiful! I do enjoy listening to his singing! Hope he keeps up with singing! Thanks for coming up to do singing! Also thank you for your fabulous playing guitar ❤
Loved his singing and I could listen to him on repeat😊👏👏👏💜
This kid needs a contract! Absolutely beautiful voice 🎶🎙
Thank you for doing what you do! I'm a 51 year old single mom who has almost finished raising them lol, and I'm tired. Tonight was one of my normal nights where I couldn't sleep and I ran across this video. It brought me joy. You did! I mean, like it changed my whole entire vibe listening to you play and Eli sing. I found myself dancing in my chair and just soaking it all in. Music soothes the soul and brings souls together like nothing else out there. God bless and I look forward to hanging with you a lot more through your videos 😊 Btw, not flirting I swear ( lol, you could be my kid lol) but you have the most awesome smile!! It just lights up everything around you. Don't let go of that joy ever!!
Well worth another visit. Incredible voice. still think about it a year later
Love hearing the nanny sing, he's a professional. May God continue to bless him, and of course God please bless Reggie and crew.👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀
