She Gave Up On Singing But A Street Musician Changed Her Mind...

- When asking People to sing in New York City, I met Alex. Alex saw my sign and patiently waiting for her turn to sing. Even though she's a trained singer, she reveals to me that she does not want to identify as a singer-- she only wants to sing for fun. I tell her that she's come to the perfect place to sing for fun. Because this is "Sing WIth Me For Free."
Song: • The Shirelles- Will Yo...
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 for Free" 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).

I wasn’t expecting how sweet and beautiful that woman’s voice was going to be. The perfect song choice for her. So happy you added your harmonies Reggie, along with the rhythm you played on your guitar. Absolutely loved it.
I was going to leave a comment, but I couldn’t say it better. Her voice is so beautiful, I loved it and Reggie, you’re amazing on the guitar!

I love her beautiful voice n Reggie is a great guitarist.💞
Post more singers Regie.💞🌸
You have unleashed her talent without pressure!!! I think it's time for Americans to loosen up, enjoy life, bring out the best of themselves!!! Why not, it's a free country, right? No violence, just love!!!
Honestly, so fitting for her voice
As a musician of over fifty years, the thing I have found most common in every person that I've ever met, is that they have a song in their heart somewhere and a compelling bond to music that they stifle at some point during their lives. It's sad, but Reggie, you sometimes give them their voice back in a safe way, and the world is better off for it and so are they.
Truth.
My dad was a bully and made fun of everyone. I made no effort at art or self expression from fear of being ridiculed. I learned to do nothing that expressed me. Just go to work.
@@carolyn6001Please venture out! You would probably be surprised what you can accomplish. I have stopped when it looked like I would be successful because of the words..."You won't amount to anything." We allow others to pave our way in life which is very sad! God bless you!
@@mariongilmore4361 thank you. I am successful enough to own a business but i won't express my "art" for anyone else. I just cant.
My son is 13 and is singing all the time what ever song comes to his mind. It is really cute, like a little bird sometimes.
The only "rule" we have is "don't sing at the table during meals", other than that he is singing all day long and he is so happy most of the time.
Except when he is sick, but when he starts singing again you know he feels better.
He doesn't want to be a singer or join a choir or anything. His grandpa gives him some piano lessons tho which he likes a lot.
I've waited to add any comment here for a couple of days.
My heart is sort of stung hearing replies and stories from folks who relented throughout their lives and stuffed the intrinsic beauty of their voice and inner song with which each and everyone of us were all blessed with at birth only to find our gifts squelched by jealous and ignorant forces who were empty inside, and sought to empty the spectacular spark we all possess in order to not feel so alone in their bereft miserable experience.
That's a harsh thing to say, but I've found it to be true over and over.
So, what are we to do with the song in our hearts that we came to this place with that others might find objectionable, or attempt to discourage us from feeling that melody with abandon?
My advise is that you recognize them, and then ignore them, and take a deep breath and drown out their miserable BS with your voice and gifted song.
To all who may bother to read this comment, I pray this season brings to you all prosperity and a better understanding and acceptance of yourselves and those you love and embrace.
This might sound weird to some folks, and I hope no offense is taken when I say: In the beginning, I don't believe that the King of the Universe spoke- "Let there be light".
I believe He SANG all things into existence , and the timber and vibration of His melody is deeply imbedded in our DNA and individual being.
Girl. GIRL. GURRRRRRRRRRL. Please don’t stop singing. Your voice is really really beautiful.
And that timbre! And that tone! Ok, I’m done. This is so far my favorite video on the channel.
@@KM-tk2ih Same here! Such an awesome voice!
This girl needs to keep singing and not ever give up! Amazing!
Awesome!!!❤❤❤
Like yeah like you know like like if you like singing you should like seriously like sing lol. But yeah she's great !!
Agree
No
You have a very beautiful voice, keep on please!
What about singing in musical theatres?
That kind of interaction with a total stranger imo completely shows what kind of person you are dude ! People feeling so comfortable around you that they share their story like that, feel free and safe enough to sing in public and bond with you and have fun is just a gift you have and share with the world. Thanks a lot. We need more of this in this world
Yes!
Yes ! Yes ! My sentiments exactly. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️

Sure, most people are carrying fire inside of them.they are waiting for an external force to ignite them. In one of a similar video, i saw a pregnant woman who sang,danced & jump up as if she has been rehearsing with Reggie for the past 2 yrs.
■□》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》
Yep!☺ I’m grateful Reggie’s got the gifts he has & for his choosing to publicly share them with us all. I kinda get the feeling he’d soar in anything that appeals to him. With precisely the qualities & skills you cited, Reggie’d make a highly effective psychologist or therapist. Of course, all his female patients would develop a crush on him, so…. Meanwhile, this is practically social work. The positive effect he has on everyone is so empowering. 4/25/23
You’re such a great musician but even more so a person. Thanks Reggie for bringing us the singers we would never hear otherwise. Such joy.
100 percent
She definitely needs to keep singing for spontaneous fun. One of those voices that is beautiful so effortlessly. Reggie's vibe is always the wind beneath people's wings. 🕊️🎶🎵✨

❤❤❤❤
Alex, if you are reading this, thank you!, that was so good and felt like a hug! Keep on singing, best.
I just got goosebumps listening to her sing. I hope she can find a way to re-embrace the obvious joy and love she has for singing.
She has a beautiful voice, and I really hope she keeps singing. To sing this song off the cuff without warmup was amazing, and it brought a lot of joy to your viewers.
Ah "laurenhidalgo," I've seen that name before somewhere, maybe this same place. I'm in France and the hidalgo bit gets me as its the name of female Mayor of Paris.
She sings so effortlessly!! It's beautiful! ❤❤ I could listen to her voice all day!! ❤
She was wonderful, not only in her singing ability but her persona. Really nice!
Great call.She gets the overall spirit of what Reggies doing and the spirit of song is etc 🎵 Next 2 days she at least sang in the mirror 🪞 again .God bless
I have the pleasant feeling that this girl is straight out of a Woddy Allen movie. She is awesome !
You could tell there was a little nervousness but there were parts where she elevated and commanded that song. One of my all time favorite tunes too. Bravo!
Alex, please don't ever stop singing, the world needs to listen to you. I'm happy that you did it, thanks Reggie for sharing that with us.
Reggie, I love how you find random people who can rock the mic. And I also love your musicianship. It's spectacular. Thanks for putting smiles on all our faces. Like hundreds of thousands of faces!
Beautiful voice! And, as always, Reggie plays magnificently. Loved the harmony, too. 👏👏👏💕
as soon as she start talking to Reggie, I got tears.... she was open and shy at the same time...
Reggie, WOW man! I’m 68 years old and it amazes me to no end when I see such a gifted, talented person that takes a universal language and creates special moments by bringing out the talent of strangers that still have a love for music I grew up loving to listen to. I think you are an exceptional young man and you have just earned my total admiration, respect and love for what you do. Thank you so much for the inspiration I love to see in younger generations. Bless you.🙏🤎👏👏
Hey! How’d you channel everything I feel? Except I found Reggie about a year ago at your age.😁 4/25/23. Ps: Looking forward to Shavuos cheesecake?😉
well said Mark xx
Dude, you bring so much joy into the world. Much love.
Oh my GOD Reggie! You are an extraordinarily charming soul, and you certainly can't imagine how you manage to bring breath to the hearts of different people spread across so many places in this vast world... I love watching the performances, which only fill my chest with hope for a much better world. ... It is so comforting to see your kindness result and blossom in smiles, for us, but also, for each one of those who venture out, and allow themselves to sing in your company... And today, what a pleasant surprise, we are gifted with the enchanted sweetness, in this beautiful girl by her side, combined with the also enchanting song Will You Love Me Tomorrow - The Shirelles (classic 60's rescued almost in the late 80's, when on the soundtrack of the cool and charming Dirty Dancing).. Here in Brazil (my country of origin), we lived for 4 years, under the regency of a reactionary and perverse president-elect Bolsonaro, the same one, that the great Bono Vox of U2, warned in a show, about the ominous shadow that hovered, around here; the one where the necessary Madonna, positioned herself with the famous phrase: #HE NO! adopted by us RESISTANCE... It was difficult, but we managed to re-elect the current new President LULA, a man wronged, imprisoned by right-wing extremists who dominated the country's seats of power, but that we are gradually purging, and everything is coming back, the something closer to normality and on the way to social repair... Discovering your fantastic channel Guitaro 5000 only helped me to connect with myself, in the midst of turmoil, and with music and everything fascinating that it can provide us. Very grateful always for your beautiful soul, your noble and charming work, in addition to coming across your beautiful man print, and also being able to enjoy, even from afar, with your kind nature ❤️ very happy, I 😁 and may God protect you forever and ever 🙌
I feel sad and happy at the same time for all you said. I wish all the best for your country as your people strive to find a sense of normalcy. Music has always been the catalyst and inspiration in lots of political movement as my country man, Bob Marley, has demonstrated throughout the years. His songs remain relevant even today, all over the world where oppression reigns. Reggie's music reminds us that we are all one people despite the color of our skin and we should remember that.
Much love to the world as we go through this next revolution. ❤️
Ditto. Intelligence, talent, charm. Open, supportive & sincere. Charismatic warmth. Hmm…. Reggie for president! 😁 4/25/23
She is very sweet and hope she has fun and happiness singing for the love of it again!!!!
Another absolute banger!! 🔥 Don't you dare go another 4 months without singing Alex!!! The world needs you 🤎
i second that!
OH!! That young woman is REALLY GOOD!!!!! Would like to hear her sing more!!!
Same!
I sure hope she sees this vid…maybe it will encourage her to continue to “just sing for the joy of it”. Fantastic voice & perfect song. Love that you joined her Reggie!
Just goes to show there's so many talented people out there just walking around. You'll probably walk past many of them today knowing none the wiser. You're a legend Reggie for showcasing those folks!!
She sang a love song to her art. Very poetic. I used to draw all the time as a kid, and questioning my relationship with it now as someone in their 40's. So I relate. What a poignant song choice.
"Singing is an access to freedom and happiness, whether you think it sounds good or not." ❤
Years ago a friend invited me to a jazz improv open mic night and asked me to sing. I was petrified of an audience so I told him I would come to listen but only to enjoy everyone else. The memory of being a child singing on stage once, stammering, freezing up, then literally running off stage mid song felt difficult to shake, even as an adult. Other times I'd sing songs to my dad but from behind the closed door of my closet only because I wanted to sing for him but couldn't bear being seen while singing. 😅 When I went to this open mic with my friend, he snuck up on stage and asked the band to call me up to the stage to sing. As I made my way to the stage I felt like I was maybe going to pass out or throw up. 😅 But then the oddest thing happened. A calm out of nowhere I knew had ever existed inside of me poured out of me. I sang a somewhat improvised song and I felt wonderful and comfortable while singing it. It ended up being one of the most enjoyable and fun nights of my life. I am so grateful to this friend of mine. He gave me the priceless gift of releasing that restricting anxiety and allowing me to own what I love, no matter what.
I'm tearing up through many of your videos, to be honest. Raw emotion comes right out of the throat and when we're singing it can sometimes feel so vulnerable. So sometimes all we need is a little nudge and encouragement. You're giving these singers experiences that have probably changed their lives in big ways that they'll never forget. The gifts you are giving to individual souls and thus our collective soul is immeasurable, immensely healing, and endlessly valuable. Thank you so much for doing this, being you, and sharing this with us all, Reggie!
I feel you ❤❤❤ have a total singing phobia thank you for sharing your story
The "SONG" itself was calling her ! To remind her to love it (song music etc) and to sing 🎶 thus giving yourself that hug as she so described it .God speed
Do you see how much impact this can have on her. Not singing cause she had to but feeling it again after 4 months. These are the stories and she has a lovely tone of voice and I hope she picks it up again!
This coverage was awesome, this song reminded me when my older sister use to play it on her " record player ". As I'm typing this it's bringing tears to my eyes, l think I'll call her. Mahalo Reggie. Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii 🤙
When I was very young, I remember my older sister playing a stack of 45 RPM records on her single speaker record player. Johnny Mathis was one of her favorite recording artists at the time.
@@tomheringer2047. Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii and loved your comment.
@@charlettea.p.kealoha8050 Mahalo!
So sweet. Yes call your sister.
@@johannafernandez6879. Mahalo ( thanks) for the encouragement. Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii
Wow I love her voice, that first note I was in awe. Such Carol King vibes. Love it.
Yes! Carol King vibes!
We need to hear more of her
Loved your harmony on that Reggie. Also the way that girl skipped away at the start of the video says everything about how good you are.
I noticed that too! She was so happy!
Alex is amazing - if you struggle what to do and miss the one thing so much: Keep singing for joy Alex - please!
I loved Alex 1st Approach, her Energy, Song Choice and how she describes everything.
Reggie great with your harmonies another blessing for this world thank you for that 💯💯💯
Like like like like like like like like like like like
Perfect song. Her voice was awesome and she sang it so effortlessly.
You've got a real gift with people Reggie. You'll leave your mark on the universe.
She sang beautifully ,just like her
I feel the same as her, "sing for joy, not you must sing now"! Words of wisdom! 👍😎💯
She has such a warm, soothing voice. ❤❤
Reggie, you melt my heart with you kindness and purity towards all those that sing well or humbly horrible like I would.
YOU LIGHT UP MY HEART WITH SMILES, FIREWORKS ,A ZEST FOR ADVENTURE, AND OF COURSE SUNSHINE!
THANK YOU FOR THIS SWEET REFRESHMENT.
Nice song, well sung.
I think you singing helped her, and I also loved it! You should sing more with them. I love your spirits
I'm glad someone else noticed.
She was wonderful
She did excellent with a song from my youth! Thank you, Reggie!!
I love your version... That guitar tapping is unique... Perfect on her voice.
If I had her voice I would sing all day long!( to Jesus!) 😀 Beautiful voice!
She’s gorgeous too!
There is evidence that singing can lower your blood pressure ❤
I sing sometimes after a bout of road rage, and I feel better. I never put it together until I read this.
Lol if you heard me sing your blood pressure would go through the roof😂😂😂😂 maybe even drop over
@@sgt.robertbauermajd1288 OH, but the song in your heart belts out in other artistic ways! I'm sure of that!
Thanks for the good laugh!
Alex, if you read this. You were great. I felt your singing. Don't give up on the joy it gives you and the joy you give that hear you.
She did a great job singing, she has a good personality and she's real cute!!
Reggie, you are doing a wonderful thing, not only for the people who sing but for all of us who hear you. Thank you so much for lifting us all up!
Reggie, the world needs you! Thank you for the love and joy you spread with your music. ❤
She’s very good! She needs to sing more!
wow! she was GOOD. a natural. this was one of my favourites. well done. both of you. 👏🎤👏🎸
I just loved that. I was 18 years old when I first heard that song with Linda Ronstadt singing. This brought it all back. Thank you young lady! And keep singing because you want to sing! And sing what you want to sing! Just be you! You have a beautiful voice! Thank you Reggie! You are a dream maker!
It's always nice to see the original artist comment on her own performance and to have that comment pinned at the top, too bad that hasn't happened yet. She did awesome!!
That's talent both of them👍🏽😇
Please don’t give up on music.I loved your voice .
Alex you have an incredible voice! Remember to share your gifts with the world! I loved your performance with Reggie! And Reggie, thank you for giving these people a chance to show their courage and talent ❤
Money can bring joy to a person's life, but it saddens me when a money and business takes the joy out of a beautiful person and a beautiful voice like hers.
Please don't stop singing. Find good people who will support what YOU want.
Be blessed,
✌️🦁
Beautiful ... As a former busker,, I gotta say : fresh Idea!!! Psssst to all, ( especially the random singers being filled w joy,) ITS HIP TO TIP .$$$
Very nice Reggie. The young lady had a nice voice and a personality to match.
I felt what she said. Life... 🤷🏻♀️ used to sing all the time.... Haven't wanted to in so many years!
Wow! She's sang that song so beautifully!
Reggie!!!! That was awesome. She was great. Perfect person to accompany with a guitar. Someone with a lovely voice that loves singing for singing.
That was absolutely lovely. I'd love to hear her sing again.
This dude is absolutly amazing. His charm and talent is all character he needs. New subscriber. KEEP IT UP MAN.
Felt the whole struggle and love journey in that performance-just fabulous!
If Alex has only one dream to sing for fun, then she has accomplished it. Lovely.
You did a really great job, I wish that more people would jump over your shadow and dare more, beautiful and natural...without special effects...you both did a great job, greetings from Germany
🤩😁😁😍😍🥰🥰😘😘🙃😉😊
Alex has a wonderfully unique voice. I hope she has opportunities to reach a large audience over time, because she is a real treasure.
I hope the young lady keeps singing as if no one's listening. She has a beautiful voice.
Those two were incredible. No rehearsal cheap equipment. But a truly great sound. Wish someone would put them on
AGT or some other widely viewed venue. Better than 99% of what is out there.
Ovation guitars aren’t cheap!
The world needs more Reggies
Beautifull, you two should sing together on tv
Such a beautiful singer....she should keep singing!
Alex, if you see this. You have a lovely voice. Whether you share it with the world or keep it for yourself, sing. You are a joy.
✨💖✨Reggie’s videos always make me smile. This is a sad song for me-heartache years old, over 40 years. But when people tell you, “You’ll heal, you’ll get over it. The pain will go away.” But through life, I learned that isn’t so. You don’t get over loss and heartache. You just learn to live with it. Life, hopefully will bring you new happiness, but there will always be scars.
But I wonder how much those sad moments/events have shaped you into the soul you are today? I bet you have helped and given advice to others because you have walked a road they need not walk down. Maybe your road was painful yet necessary, I don't know. Maybe your life has benefited in other ways since your sadness.
I wish you all joy, blessing and happiness. 40 years is a long time to live with a form of pain but I hope along that 40 year road you've had many, many reasons to smile and shine.
@@truthseeker7612 I’ve had a rich, full life. Lived in Europe a couple of times, all over the US, and I’ve been married almost forty years to a wonderful, sweet man. It’s the heartaches that teach you to recognize a good thing, and when laughter is real. May your Yule be bright, and best wishes for the coming New Year.
@@mapatterson173 It's so good to read you response. I'm praying 2023 starts getting better for us all. God bless.
Give that young lady a recording contract now! As a singer myself I'm here to say she's got it definitely! Go gettem girl!🤟🤟👍⚘
Nice harmonizing Reggie.
I hope she sings more often. Such a natural.
very nice song and nice yong woman and your second voice ,Reggie super good !!
I hope she continues singing, she has an amazing voice!
There's so much humanity in these videos.
Once in a while ( if you are lucky) you meet a person that you never knew could naturally just sing ( in reality we all can ) My eldest daughter sung like that when she was young...but due to life's ways she never took her voice seriously to impart herself on that joyous road. This young lady has that same natural gift that my daughter has..raw and effortless melodies that just flow out from their soul and deliver such calm, serene and so very pleasing feelings. Young lady, I wish you the very best. I pray that you continue sharing your gift throughout your life and make people smile and be happy. Reggie, thank you providing a setting where people can share their unique gift with everyone.
Beautiful, great song.
Love what you do!
What a sweet voice for a song that’s so moving and endearing, I love how Raggie gave her the opportunity to share & feel freed to share her lovely voice
Well done young man on getting her to sing, a sweet voice indeed..
Alex you was born to sing so please make the world beautiful by continuing to sing. You are natural.
The first time I heard this song was 1960 and she should keep singing! It brings good memories back and she did it very well.
She was amazing! What a lovely sweet voice. I will listen to this over and over. Thanks Reggie for bringing these wonderful singers for us to enjoy.
Awesome person and song - “singing for joy, not because I have to”!
*Alex, where ever you go in this world, please keep on singing for your enjoyment & for fun. Go to the top of a hill & sing your heart out for you, as you do have a lovely voice. If you are driving alone, turn on the radio & sing along & never feel the stress, cos you are doing it for you & having fun, as that is what life is about.*
Omg, that guitar playing is so awesome! Her voice was angelic!
A beautiful Performance!!
Hi Reggie,
I love this song! I first heard Carol King sing it. Great job to both of you!!! I feel happier!!!
Carole King & Gerry Goffin wrote some tremendous songs together. I don't know what took Ms. King so long to sing her own creations but I'm glad she did. Her "Tapestry" album is the best, & “Will You (Still) Love Me Tomorrow?” is one of the songs on that album.
I first heard The Shirelles sing “Will You (Still) Love Me Tomorrow?”.
Reggie...a ray of light in this brief experience of life... Thank you brother.
That girl not only singing but timing perfect
Good to hear you harmon Reggie
Wow, what a gift. Hope she keeps singing.
