Mike Yung Sings A Change Is Gonna Come: • Video - Hudba
No autotune, no millions of dollars to make a hit song, shit not even a microphone, Yet full!!! of soul.
So refreshing.
So true
Subway tunnel is all the mic you need.
Amen
Awesome 😍😍😍😍😍
No microphone, yet his voice filled the whole subway station.
Speaker*
Well even without a speaker playing down in the subway tunnel is like an echo chamber it has those tiles like a high school bathroom where kids been singing for many decades
It's called "reverb". Weird Al Yankovic recorded his first single in a bathroom.
Wow!! That was great
Dayumn.. and just think of all the computer sounds people listen to thinking their idola can actually sing
The fact that even when the train came by, his voice still overtook the atmosphere. What a voice.
This makes you really WONDER how many other talented voices there are out there that go unnoticed …pure talent mike!!!!
More than you can ever imagine, apparently the music industry today, doesn’t care about talent, if you have a big audience from being active online it’s enough. Yet few months back they complained about not having anyone but Olivia Rodrigo and ice spice
But the industries think they know best and forget about what people want to hear 😭

Great comments
Keep going champion 🏆
GREED
What a world we live in, where the soul and heart are shunned to the subways while the corporations fill our radios with artificial celebrities. I come back to this video every now and then to help restore my faith.
@@jerenmckey1800 no it is the truth
So true
Go find dondada he is a REAL rapper freestyle magnificent.
Perfect truth!
Have you been to a Posty concert?
This man is the ultimate expression of every word in this song. This is what singing from the heart means. Thanks for charing this moment.
Well said, totally agree
Good to see some people actually chair.
Kenny Karlsson Made ME cry!!
Ahahahah ma che cazzo dici... He i An hopeless homeseeker nothing else
HILLARY CLINTON CALLS BLACK people SUPER PREDATORS
VOTE TRUMP 2020
Even the train couldn't drown out his amazing voice!
I really hope you're living like a king now Mike!
Exactly!!!
👏👏👏
his voice makes me think on my dad , he loves this song i cant avoid crying and smiling
37 Years. He's been doing this for 37 years. never once been auto tuned, never once been remade up in a studio. Pure. Honest. Wonderful.
@Michael Urgero dang, 37 years.. and no one has ever ask them for studio recording or to perform in other places?
@@Dimaz42 when he was younger, he had a recording contract, but it fell thru before his album made it. He's made efforts on talent shows, but because he's spent a lifetime singing in subways, his vocal skills are now tuned to that environment and he doesn't sound as good in open air.
Sad but true.
@Michael Urgero I see.. I also look him up and it seems he’s been to AGT in 2017 and made it to semi-finals.. he also has been on tours and tries to release his album through Kickstarter.. I hope good things come his way, so he could make a living doing the things that he loves..

que tiene que ver el autotune? la musica comercial pop no solo el trap tienen mas de 50 años usando el autotune en grabacion de discos etc. El hecho de que un cantante no lo use es porque no quiere, son herramientas al alcance de todos, otra cosa es usar autotune para modificar la voz y no tener madera de cantante. just sayin'
@@ax569Jesus, what a dumb comment. 🤦🏼♀️ Autotune was invented in 1997, so it has been used for only 25 years, not “more than 50 years”. 🙄
I work 2 blocks away from this train station & use to see this brother omw home. He's truly have talent & sounds even better in person
Brooklyn is watching and listening
Had to watch twice! What a wonderful blessing he is, to end a hard day at work! I would be broke $ passing by him everyday! God bless him, and you!💖
Can you please tell him to sing a gospel song! He is blessed with a beautiful voice. #AllisPossible
I thought he had no arms at first. He sounds good.
He's incredible ! I wish some record exec would find him.
God Bless Him & Keep him Safe.
It’s 2023 and his voice still bring tears to my eyes🥰😍
Me too
Same
@@sphelelemthembu2074😅
me too
@@sphelelemthembu2074
I heard the song and started crying, tears of joy. The true definition of music to my ears. Wow!
This rendition literally brought me to tears.. so beautiful. Thank you for your sharing your talent. ❤️
I've seen this gentlemen singing on the subway dozens of times. The video does him no justice. He is powerfully gifted.
If you see them please say Hi From London! I have just have such amazing time to listening to them, it was one of the best thing I have heard in my life!
@@Onevideoperday I’m from Canada and I completely feel the same as you. His voice reached my soul, that seldom happens….it was beautiful. ♥️
Where is this dude ? Chicago?
@@marieclaire4935 NYC subway
same from me in KC. wave to him for me, it's really great imo!
Funny how people walk right by....a voice like that would stop me dead in my tracks!!!!soooooo much soul!!!
100% 👌🏽👌🏽👍🏽
Same thing I’m saying! Gives me chills no matter how many times I watch it! To see that and witness it in person would definitely make me stop ❤️ Raw talent
People are going about their business.
Oh really I didn't realize that🤣some people are dumb as fuck I swear..I'm just saying hearing that talent would make me stop...so why don't you.."go about Your buisness"
Wipe your v@gina bro. Don’t be mad. 🙏
When he sang the word "mine" I felt my soul FLY. I'm convinced the world's greatest musicians, singers, writers, and visual artists are people only a few will have the pleasure of knowing.
Two things:
1. This guy is amazing
2. I’ve never seen a shirt that has its own necklace.
Best comment periodt
Omg, you funny E. Smith...#2🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too funny
Its probably sewed in idrk
It’s because of mr. Big Punisher 😃👍🏽
Peopllleee... now this is TALENT with not even a microphone!
MrMister The acoustic under ground and in the shower can make most of us sound better
@@allispossible8447 very true lol
@Exlaxchronicles but retards saying Gucci Gang 100 times are highly marketable. Screw the world today.
@Exlaxchronicles he already has Martin Garrix has a few songs with him now. He's totally marketable. A great coming up inspiration.
Exlaxchronicles he was on AGT and has a few songs with Martin Garrix lol
The wrong people get made famous this man's voice is angelic simply top notch
I think he made it I saw him on americas got talent. Even Simon was blown away
Facts
@@gscott6907OH THIS IS HIM
it's sad
Leave James Charles alone
A brilliant Righteous Brothers memory from my younger years. Amazing rendition of a difficult classic. Played this on the coffee shop juke box every morning over a bacon sandwich and coffee with my girlfriend before going to work....We're now close to 52 years married so the song must have "done something"..............
I just realized that there is no microphone and he carries his voice so good even with a train there.
I do not need...
-He does not need
-A microphone..
-A microphone
-My voice is fucking
-Fucking ...
-POWERFUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUL
He's awesome
No he simply sings daily for food. Bless the people with a good voice for a quarter in your pocket. Its spare change to city ppl. Bless the community and if you have a spare second of your time listen to the dude sing. Dont even gotta throw a quarter to get a good show. My point is. Bless the community. Dude is doing it for a reason and hes good at it.
id say its confidence
When you have a nice bassy voice like his and in a tunnel that has great acoustics and reverb you dont NEED a mic lol
Damn!!! Didn’t expect that, he should be on somebody’s stage somewhere. Gift from god!
He finally made it he went on America’s Got Talent & The Strahan & Sara Show. Also he has a song called Dreamer very beautiful & inspiring. All on yt.
AGT stage to the semi finals!!
Hands up if this is the best version of this song ever
I noticed you, lady in the background. My immediate thought was that I’m always proud that people are grateful for artists and give graciously to them.
You can tell she was vibing while in the middle of a busy day. Likely stressed out but still giving. Both attention and money. This video has remained in the archives the year it was on youtube. Much love humans.
The train should wait for this man to finish hes song haha he
his song*, just for your information im not trying to be an asshole I liked your joke lol
That's hilarious, and completely true lol.
Lp haha hehehhee haha hehehe
he literally singing 'wait for me' when the train came in
@@realexony ever heard of typos? even if not - we all knew what he meant
Y'all notice that even a moving train couldnt drown him out? No microphone, no auto tune, nothing. That's what you call a gift.
I was so much in a trance I didn’t even realize that
don't call it a gift, or talent. it's 100% hard work. nobody is just born being able to do what he's doing there.
@@greendoubttube I agree, but there must have been some kind of talent that hard work made better.
Nope , talent + hardwork + hobby = this
You might be talent in singing , you might be hardworking on getting your top shape , but you wont be the perfect you if you dont love what the thing you are doing now
Don't forget good acoustics. But Definitely a powerful voice.
I typically watch this at least three times in a row when I come back to it.
Grew up in NY and road the subway every day for over 40 years and never seen this man singing anywhere 😮 he’s very good 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾❤️❤️❤️ so sorry that I missed him.
More talent than 90% of the radio. Also, Big Motherfuckin Pun t shirt. This guy is real.
Viva Saprissa. ❤️❤️
Hes good and has good taste
@@johnfredgranadosgomez1374 Saprissa forever!
90%? You mean 100%!
I would have happily missed every trian just to listen to him
Do the trians run often 👀
Absolutely and I don't live there!!!!❤❤❤❤
Me too, I would not miss that beautiful talented voice, I would stay and listen until he got tired, and the last train ran. I'll be ok.
Il train from NZ
Same id be there w you as well his singing is heaven sent 💖
Omg!!!!!! This mans voice im in tears its so so good!!!!
Best and most favorite version. Even the dominant predator in the back couldn’t break the soulfulness coming from this man.
I just can't understand HOW people walk right by this wonderfully talented man! I would be glued to the spot.
Same! I wont even mind waiting for the next train just to hear his powetful voice.
It made me cry!!!
I was thinking the same thing! 💙
Because they cant do it.
Because the world does not afford us the time to enjoy certain things. We're off to work for somebody elses fortune.
The drummer and guitarist are so gifted.....
True...
Stop bitin ass
RPT. SR. Huh
Totally! impressive the groove the guy can do with just a snare and hi-hat.
they all look related
I've never seen such a emotional perform like this. So moving. So real. In love. 🥰❤
I love that lady who stands there to watch and appreciates him. She made a donation too. This world is a better place because of people like her. God bless her.
And I appreciate you for noticing her.
looks like it brought back some memories for her. Just standing there mesmerizing
@@ALIRAZA-xq8dm 💐
God? 😅😅😅😅😅😅
How about the young fellow that joined in at 1:03 and didn't move until the performance was over? This song must have meant something special for him.
His voice is stronger than a running train.
Ano Niem Beautiful
I wonder if this man has ever song professional, does any body know?
@el taco 👍👍
@el taco Cause dey kangz and queenz and shit
@el taco i Guess your talent is just talking shit safe behind your keyboard and being a fullblown racist troll. What did this guy do to you for you to make such a hatefull comment? And you talk about being human Lmfao
I love that song… such a classic song but this dude does a PHENOMENAL job holy smokes that was amazing.
My god if I was there my face would be flooded with tears. Mike Yung your voice is Beautiful u lift my spirit
You can still hear him when the train is speeding by! What a powerhouse!
The older lady at the background was thinking: Those were the days!!
Horny old lady?
@@woonchungliong4173 tf is wrong with you
@@azulmartinez6143:
Don't be an idiot!
@@woonchungliong4173 bruh 😂😂😂😂
That would me. Id stand and listen to him all day!!😊😊😊💙💙💙
Why isn't this guy a millionaire selling albums. He's got a wonderful voice. I'm a grown man he literally brought tears to my eyes!
When this was filmed, you could make a pretty good living busking in the subways. Dono bout now, I moved away.
Agree
His voice is magical ✨️
the older women in the back that sat there and just vibed made me cry haha, such a simplistic world in the times these songs were sung. I know it brought her back to her childhood, & i love every second of it.
This is how true music is made. No sound equipment, no auto tune. Just a powerful voice and a band to back it up. This will always be my favorite performer of this beautiful song.
Exactly! I am 26 years old and only listen to these type of old classics (classic rock, soul, 90s hiphop etc). The current generation doesnt know what real music is. They all follow the mainstream trend
@@flyingdutchdan sp you feel giod now?i listen to klassik to rapto all whats good
@@flyingdutchdan It's hard to find good music. There is still incredible music there in the world. Listen to some Western Classical Music. You will love it
@@yashbspianoandcompositions1042 yes classical music i also listen, but only when studying or really focusing moments. But like these genres (rock, hiphop, soul etc) will never be the same anymore. Never will reach this same level of those old days
@@flyingdutchdan made me think of you: czcams.com/video/KQpKeW_-fd8/video.html
And a voice as big as the sea..
This world is so ass backwards when there are so many idiots with no talent making millions and then you got this guy...what a full, gorgeous, resonant voice.
Just the pure truth you just wrote. True talent this is.
Facts Facts
Yes the sea
God isn't in anything anymore people have shunned him to through the back door that's how people act anymore
Agree
Just stunningly organic & amazing vocals.
Not even a train underground could drown out this man's god given voice.
Bravo !! 👏
No entiendo como tanta gente pasa si parar para regalarse aunque sea 60 segundos de este arte!!! Tremenda voz👏👏👏
I would be missing my trains to hear this guy
I have!! I used to see him and hear him sing every day after work!! ")
@@jojodoto.9840 Lucky Bastard 😇 Lol Much Luv all the way from Spain
i'd miss the birth of my first son to hear mike finish the song
That's what I would do. Sometimes it got hectic and it was impossible to stay and listen tho.
The three of them have what we use to recognize as TALENT.
Now people love to listen to high on weed alcoholic that mumbles their words because it's "swag, or lit'' or whatever. Sad, just sad.
@@Jay_pantig Yes, extremely sad.
talent != years of practice
@@Jay_pantig
I would be willing to bet my last dollar that this man hits the bottle and most likely hits the blunt….todays terrible music has nothing to do with weed or alcohol. It’s just trash music.
@@BillyT886 I would too, but you've got to read my comment again. And this time, try to understand my comment. Definitely has something to do with weed, or even drugs, and alcohol. When they became so proud that they're doing drugs and drinking till they're wasted and that becomes almost always their theme for the music, the music becomes trash. Think about it, Ed sheeran had an interview about him getting drunk and everything, but that's not the theme of his music. So it's somewhat got to do with drugs and alcohol.
This guy was on America's Got Talent. He's fabulous!
Dude is an AMAZING singer. Hits the soul right in the core.
And we got these fools on the radio right now.
Fr???
Right!?!?
I know right
How original of you.
I have to agree with you they are just fool
The amateurs are greater than the “professionals” because they are not controlled by the perspectives of what some one who doesn’t have the gift views as good. This is true, raw talent 💕
I 100% agree with this statement.
Very well stated
So right my sista real
Inner Goddess amen sister !
Super star singers are just performers who move their mouth. Yes, your idols are not real, can't sing and most are androgynous
I will always love this version 💕 beautiful!!!
Every time I see this video, I’m blown away… amazing talent!! ❤ he should be playing house of blues and festivals! I’d love to see him play a set live, what a voice 🔥
Straight chills....he even made the train sound instrumental
His voice is timeless and would be among the elite in any decade. It's just amazing who they give recording contracts to and who they don't.
Jeep Life71 more like you have sell your soul
Everyone wants to remain you g and dumb these days so that's who the hive the recording contracts too
They only give people they can control contracts. That's why the people who are famous don't have any talent and have to act a fool or get naked to get attention.
I think he wouldnt want to sell his talent to souless companies
beautiful ! Love his vocals ! Mike Yung , you rock !👍🏼👍🏼
I love this man.
I remember him being on TV & was so touched.
No one this talented should be singing in a subway! 💕
I enjoyed the entire trio.
Really makes you realize the sheer amount of talent out there that the world doesn't even know about
Yep .. there's probably 10 people that would sell more albums than Elvis or Michael had they been given the same chance
But unfortunetely teens likes trap and shit
@@Jiiiisossj78998 Nah man cause of stranger things kids like 80s music now
God bless the good
I can’t see how this much talent is not instantly signed!!!! If I was an agent I’d go to the subway for talent!!!!
The double nod is perfect timing
Why cant I ever see something like this when I'm out
We...or him.....nd may b cuz u dont come out
NYC
One of my favorite songs and he performed it beautifully.👋👋👋
Come to NYC. Every subway station and street corner has talented people just like this.
@hhhk20 carry on NPC. Carry on. Nobody is taking your bait you try hard.
The EMOTION in his voice speaks a thousand words alone 😔 this man is a legend and must be in hall of fame.
True
Amazing voice 💕
To Razy Stuff 92: His clicks speak *twelve million* views alone for this video. He is a legend, probably making more views than the dignified surgeon or regular lawyer.
These are the performers that bring the most joy in our everyday lives!! Thank you!!
Waaauu.. He's REALLY REALLY FANTASTIC..
I used to love listening to this man sing. I lived on 23rd St and he was there a lot and the 42nd st station. I've missed my train a few times because I had to hear the rest of the song, and ALWAYS gave him money when I saw him. One of my favorite vocalists to this day.
Is he still around?
Yankee dude dandy is he still there
@@chrissmealband8417 I moved back to TN a few years ago. I’m not really sure. I think he was on America’s got talent though
@@tylerthagr8 I’m not sure I haven’t lived there in 4 years. I think he’s probably still there. 23rd, 42nd, and 72nd st stations seemed to be his spots. Don’t forget to smell on a yankee candle this summer. Good fruit smells and fireworks scented as well.
@@tylerthagr8 he ended up going on America's got talent or Britians got talent. Can't remember which. Performed this same song.
Smh, why the HELL has this man not been offered a record deal?! I would PAY to see him in person, my God what a voice!
He took the semi-finals in America's Got Talent Season 12, then released his debut album, "I Will Never Give Up" and started his "Never Give Up" tour in 2018...
I’m right with you
@@RealSiViX Thanks for the info! I'll look it up!
The thing is there are millions of people who can sing like this who never get noticed
@@RealSiViX Thanks for his music career update. I try to find it. And I watched on CZcams his remarkable performance.
Oh dear Lord, how this made me sob! So gifted! Bless him. Perfect rendition. Thank you SO SO much for this! ❤️🙏🏻
Wow, such a rich baritone. Amazing voice. I heard him over the train. To be blessed with such a voice. 🤩
How the fuck are people just walking past this man, I would sit and watch this guy all the way. Love this music
Wow! Not even the the train could drown out his voice, so soulful makes me smile😁
How can some people walk by and not be phased by his amazing voice. I would be stopped dead in my tracks to listen.🤷🏼♀️.
Alisha Hamilton fazed
Cause this is New York
We New Yorkers are so dead on the inside sadly. I hate it but it’s the way we are unfortunately.
@@loverofjesus4856 or maybe people have to be somewhere I don't think they came to the train station to listen to him I think they are just trying to get somewhere
I would definitely be watching n listening 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍
God it would be such a blessing to hear him sing in person I truly hope I get to.
I swear to you, I listen to this at leasssst once a day. What a voice.
THE YOUNG MAN STANDING TO THE SIDE APPEARS TO REALLY NEED TO HEAR THESE WORDS IN HIS LIFE RIGHT NOW. HOW OFTEN DO WE HEAR SOMEONE SAY "I NEED YOUR LOVE," YOUR MATE, YOUR CHILD, MOTHER, FATHER, BROTHER OR SISTER. OH HOW WE NEED TO HEAR AND SAY THOSE WORDS. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND STRONG GIFTED VOICE. THANK YOU!
What a seriously beautiful interpretation, you are so right.
❤️❤️❤️
Probably a singer thinking, 'no, fuck it, I'll be an accountant instead'
shoutout to the dude in the back who missed his train to see him finish the song
Word ❤️ LUV
Maybe. Or maybe it was the A to Howard Beach instead of to Mott Ave. ;)
@@ddruxman3579 Or he's waiting for an F train. :)
I kinda thought he was waiting because he wanted to kill the drummer after the song for some reason
Yup. He just stood there and enjoyed the show. Bravo!
You either have it,or you don't,and this man has it big time. What a voice and that control...Wow wow wow 👌 👏 ❤🎤🎶
Touching souls the world over, just look at the lady behind you, you could just see the change, beautiful.
What a gift to the world, this man and his voice. Wow!
@@randyrazor6780 stfu loser
@Ricky Iceman , seems RPT SR is mostly making those disgusting comments to white people. He did it to me to.
No words can do this man justice. This can save someone he’s so good. So so pure
Dios bendito, soy español y amante del flamenco por encima de toda la música, pero todo lo que suene que sea con sentimiento y arte lo se valorar y ésto es un escándalo........ todo mi respeto y admiración a esos músicos y ese hombre con ese vozarrón y ese sentir.......olé y olé!❤un abrazo fuerte desde España
Damn .....that is some voice !!
I could listen to this man all day.... what a gift
I AGREE
I also would let him BUST my CHEEEKS
Oh my god me too.
I dont know how anyone could just pass by and not stop to listen to this UNBELIEVABLE talent! I don't care if I was going to miss the next 3 trains I would stop 🤣
Exactly!! He is louder than the damn train and just amazing!!
Probably heard him many times
I said the same thing like how could you just walk by nonchalantly as if you don’t hear such incredible vocals and musicians?! People truly don’t appreciate fine music 😩😣
I know the feeling, but people do got places to be
People have jobs, lol
Will always be one of my favorite versions of this classic 🥰🥰🥰
What’s the name of it again?
Sorry folks . But that ‘s some breathtaking performance . Pure boundless talent . I wish I could be there on that metro station during that very special moment of musical brilliance . God bless that man and his soulmate musicians .
His raw expression and phrasing is giving me life!!!!!! His life experience comes all the way through! Thank you for sharing your heart!
He honestly deserves a grammy. I've came back over the years and rewatched this because it is so amazing
I think he went to America got talent. I hope he got a record deal ..
Same here!
He's not entitled to shit because he's good at karaoke
@@ryantoner8132 Miserable person. Hope someday you find meaning in your life.
Yes I agree!
No where can as much talent be found than in the subways of New York City.
This is why I miss living in a major city (although not as big at NYC). You’d find such amazing talent performing on the corner. Miss it.
(2021) Still one of the best rendition of this song.
Couldn't agree more.. One of my fave song...💖
I agree.
No Doubt a Beautiful Cover of a Timeless Classic. When I was just starting school in the early 60's, my Dad used to play The Righteous Brothers frequently and this was his favorite.
Major Props to this Gifted "Artist" and I don't use the term loosely. He is Masterful without ANY Props whatsoever.
Oo sir hehe dabest to
Leann Rimes was my favorite until this. This is the most beautiful song ever composed in my opinion.
sign him he's better than half of these singers that are out there right now
Just half?
g C - I respectfully disagree. He sings better than 90% 🙌
The system is rigged
This is amazing! Wonderful voice Mike. Watching this video years later and it still mesmerizes me.
Wishing you many blessings in life Mike.
Hugs from Canada. 😊
I’ve watched this so many times and it never gets old. What a great voice 😊 love it!
I see him all the time at the station by my job, he gives me chills every time! 😍
Awesome!! That must be great
Drop a dollar for me. Ill get you back lol
been 5 years and he's still at the station? man needs a record deal
@@eQcBeats He already made a song with Martin Garrix. You should listen to that one, its nice :). Maybe he's still at the station because he enjoys the people there
@@sebastiaan.youtube6152 Oh awesome
I’d rather be late in class than miss Mike’s performance in a subway station. So pure. ❤️
My all time favorite song! Wish i could tip him! Very moving! 🙏🏼
I think this man is my all time favorite singer.💯🤷🏼♀️👌👌👌👌Been a fan for years and Nothing compares to this!🙌💃💗🌈
