    its not just the voice, its the whole performance. Lots of guys can sing. But with Puddles you get a SHOW. I'm a BIG fan of Big Mike and Puddles. I can't wait to see more.

    He is just fantastic. I've listened to a number of his performances, and I have to say, I haven't been disappointed, not even once. He is just that good. What a pleasure.

    I love how his delivery always brings new meaning to the lyrics of a song. This is such a familiar tune, I admit I first kinda tuned out on the story of it, and just enjoyed the vocal. But when he dropped that F-bomb, I had to go back and re-listen, to get the thread of the thing, why she pulled that reaction from him. Superb performer, not just a vocalist!

  • @MasonJarGrenade

    The clown suit is brilliance. It is such a loaded image.
    "A clown is a poet in action. He is the story which he enacts.
    The clown teaches us to laugh at ourselves.
    Joy is like a river : it flows ceaselessly. It seems to me that this is the message which the clown is trying to convey to us, that we should participate through the ceaseless flow and movement, that we should not stop to reflect, compare, analyse, possess, but flow on and through, endlessly, like music. This is the gift of surrender, and the clown makes it symbolically."~Henry Miller
    I love you Puddles and your voice is brilliant and timeless.

      MasonJarGrenade He is the embodiment of the sad clown Pierrot in commedia dell'arte. The lovable loser who can't get the girl. Puddles took this stock character and give him a new dimension, a pure barytone voice, impeccable timing and precision. Puddles makes you see life through Pierrot's eyes. Pure Fucking genius.:'(

    I only recently came to know of him through his audition on America's got talent, the show sucks but there is often a person that sets themself apart and Puddles does that and more. I get how some people don't get him too. This is performance art at it's finest.

    Well every time I watch this I giggle when he drops the F-bomb! He is telling a story and wouldn't you feel that way if the girl of your dreams went with someone else? I think you have to listen to the intent before you become offended.

    • @jaybay711
      @jaybay711 Před 4 lety +1

      8of1 Puddles is really telling the story of his life to music and it is very serious and I know it’s affecting him. If I can speak to puddles I would tell him that you have made a transformation and affecting a lot of people in a Greatway and keep doing what you’re doing to be proud

    @kathystricker7552 Před 6 lety +4

    I watch this video daily at times. One of my FAVORITE Puddles videos. The funny thing about me loving this video is that I have always HAAAAATED the F word with a passion. Not only was it a 'bad' word but the people who use it think they are soooo cool which was really irritating. But then Puddles says it and I don't hate it. And I am amazed. Why don't I hate this? AND I think it's funny! It's the sad emotions he feels when saying the word. I love it.

    One of my favorite songs, though so few can sing it well, and fewer can compare with Ray Charles’ version. This is most definitely one of those few. This man’s voice is amazing and the way he performs on stage adds so much. I strongly suspect he’s one of those amazingly talented individuals who is even better when seen in person. Hopefully I will some day get to do just that.
