- The non-speaking, seven-foot-tall clown known as Puddles became a worldwide internet sensation in 2013 when a video of his baritone cover of Lorde’s “Royals,” a collaboration with the music collective Postmodern Jukebox, went viral (it now has over 17 million views). Since then, Puddles has produced several more viral videos, mostly covers of recent hit songs, and he has toured the U.S., Europe and Australia.
Puddles Pity Party visited Houston Public Media’s Geary Studio while in Houston recently for a set of concerts at the Alley Theatre, presented by Lott Entertainment. He recorded the Bee Gees’ 1968 song “I Started a Joke,” and Sia’s 2014 hit single “Chandelier.” - Hudba
Bad ass singer with soul. He doesn't just sing, he delivers an experience.
Bob Panerio you are right. This song will never be the same for me again. It is pure genius!
Bob Panerio Right the fuck ON. That's it exactly!! 👍👑🎶
Well said... "You have Spoken"! =D

Yes, it is indeed an experience. So is waterboarding.
I'm here listening once again, getting all emotional over a 6' 8" flipping clown with the voice of an angel. And the best bit is... I just don't care. He's truly superb.
Me, too.
Puddles. Period. Mystique is mystique.
Im 62yrs and I love this guy.
Hey, Vicki, I'm 72 and I can't get enough of him. I listen to him every day. He makes me smile and just as easily he makes me cry. What a guy. Or clown. Or man. ENTERTAINER.
I'm 61, and he has given me a reason to actually listen to someone sing again. So few artists that are genuine. Oh I know he sings other people's songs, but he does it in a way that in unique and satisfying, yet gives me the desire to hear him sing more..
This guy doesn’t just sing. He also paints a picture of a life story. And I could feel the story in his eyes before he even speaks a word. Puddles Pity Party, I am I huge fan.
I am too
Am 3
"This guy" is also a Hungarian national now living in Texas, who (instead of posting nature photos) continually trolled me in my Nature Photography community on MeWe, bashing, trashing and insisting on debating United States foreign policy with me. I actually had to block him from my community and MeWe feed, when he failed to take the hint, after I suggested he return to Hungary if he so despises the United States. I am not a huge fan of some of the USA's history of blundered foreign policy, but I have far better things to do with my time than listen to hypocrital whining from someone who has come to the U.S. to enjoy the "good life." I just wish his videos would stop popping up on my You Tube page. 😑
Performance art and talent at its best 👏👏
@@RobertLangdonCapeCanaveral. This guy is definitely not Hungarian lol, he was born in Pennsylvania.
his visual performances take the songs to a higher level than the music alone.
I totally agree 💯
They don't teach this shit in clown school.
I would / will pay my hard earned money to see this man and his show...
@@justinbennett9998 🥳
He is one of the best ever.
He takes you past what is being sung. 👍
This man is an alien ! He has mesmerised me since I recently discovered him and I can’t get my head around how unbelievably entertaining he is!
I second that!! He may not be an 'alien' but he definitely is "Other Worldy" ... I'm not sure what the difference is. 🤔
Or how damn brilliantly he sings man.
Same here. He's completely mesmerizing
Beau Bear exactly my experience! Mesmerized is just what happened!
There is not any song that this guy can't nail. His voice is absolutely amazing. Everything from the national anthem to Blink 182 to Johnny Cash. Unbelievable talent. Would like to see him in Phantom of the Opera. Awesome, Awesome powerful voice.
Oh, he would be an amazing Phantom !!!
Look at his histrionic swings, it's almost hypnotic. I love this guy
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOU DO.....
WHEN THE MAN COMES AROUND,
BY JOHNNY CASH...THE MESSAGE IT HAS COULD ONLY BE CONVEYED BY VERY FEW, WITH SUCH SOUL, MIKE,
I THINK YOU WOULD TOUCH AN AWFUL LOT OF SOULS....AND WAKE A LOT OF SINFUL PEOPLE UP....THANK YOU FOR THE JOY YOU HAVE BROUGHT TO A DYING 67 YEAR OLD MAN. I HAVE COPD, AND PRAY TO THE LORD TO WATCH OVER ME EVERY NIGHT. 1 OUT OF 4 PEOPLE WITH COPD DIE IN THEIR SLEEP. IM PREPARED TO MEET GOD, AND HAVE REPENTED FOR MY MANY SINS. GOD BLESS YOU, BROTHER....
I HOPE TO LISTEN TO YOU IN HEAVEN.
IN JESUS NAME,AMEN
IM FINDING OUT...SOME SONGS CAN BE IMITATED...BUT NEVER DUPLICATED...
AND WILL NEVER BE IMPROVED UPON.
THIS IS ONE...REFLECTIONS OF MY LIFE
@@andrewstallings5942...fantastic idea.
This guy might be a clown.
But he's no joke.
Bob Sirunkle your brief comment has geniality in it Sir.
Puddles inspired me to keep living, no joke.😑
A few months ago, I revealed the reason I hadn't been talking to one of my friends.
He said, "You've been able to make time for a Fucking clown and not me?"
I saw he obviously didn't understand, so I showed him this.
He then said, "But clowns don't sing."
I almost laughed in his face.
I then replied with ,"No, Andrew, Puddles doesn't sing.
Puddles puts on a performance."
@@th3_g0th60 - Dear Amélie, good comment in despite of one detail : Puddles is not a clown, he performs an Arlequin which is an art of renaissance. So he wears only white and black and can sing and play a guitar, better would be a tradicional bandolin as they used in the past.
@@th3_g0th60 sea boo play ...
Could not imagine anyone delivering a greater performance of this song. Everything about this is perfect.
Check out, Faith No More does a version.
This guy is a fucking genius.
I think they call him puddles because everybody ends up crying a river ..how awesome he sings And the emotions he draws out of his audience. And I pity anybody who doesn't have the experience
Puddles is a genius and one of the worlds best singers!
Puddles, you bring tears to this 65 year old man who grew up with the Bee Gees.
*_Thank God For Puddles._*
how i pray
@@navidab2005 k
This song is absolutely perfect in terms of tempo and range for Puddles powerful singing voice.
Thank you for an extremely awesome rendition of a song that came from a phase of the Bee Gees that many people never know, because the first time they heard of the Bee Gees was when they started doing disco. Let's face it, the Bee Gees were awesome and every genre that they went into. And this is a great cover of a great one from my personal favorite musical phase of theirs.
Actually for some of us old timers...we knew this as one of the top 3 or 4 instantly recognizable BeeGees hits. It was #6 on the American singles charts and got massive radio play.
@@anodyne57 I agree. They had some great songs before their disco phase
Oh. My. God. Puddles, never change. The world needs you. Absolutely amazing.
Finally someone who gives this song the voice it deserves! This is THE ultimate version for me.
faith no more does an amazing cover of this song also :D
Robin Gibb did a nice job the first time around. Perhaps you have missed hearing the Bee Gees.
Rubbish
@@RicTic66 what is rubbish?
Bee Gees wrote it, but someone finally gave it the voice it needed.
I cannot believe how many times I have listened to his various songs since he appeared on
AGT. His personality, tonality, passion, visual inflections, and delivery are a fresh turn for an artist seeking to find his audience. May he succeed beyond his wildest hopes.
PUDDLES MAKES MY HEART SMILE! 💖 😢
I LOVE YOU, PUDDLES!
THE ONE AND ONLY PUDDLES! LOVE YOU!
awwwwwww Puddles your voice... you make grown men cry
My favorite Bee Gees (Robin Gibb) song always. Puddles owned it with an alternate delivery.
Play my heart, Puddles. Make me cry. For the WHOLE WORLD.
THANK YOU.
LADY DI
Gosh, I love this guy!
He sings with his whole body. Love him so much! Giggled at the end...
I too giggled at the end, so distraught.....LOL!
The little sobs and awkward silences are as entertaining as the singing. It's a whole package of something amazing for which I have no words. 😆
He's a clown!
Absolute and unadulterated genius.
I was lucky enough to have seen the show, on the best cruise for my 70th birthday. I also met his beautiful family.
At 1:23 puddles shows the power of his voice. Very few can blast out that much power.. Puddles can invoke such incredible emotion with his amazing voice. I loved every second of this song
1:23. Holy shit!!! Fantastically phenomenal!!! Puddles is the real deal. How many people hear Puddles sing a song so clearly, it shows you the real meaning of the song?
Puddles, you dear darling man, you bring so much joy to us! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the light you cast on a world which needs you so much.
Воистину так !
i am a forever fan of Puddles
"Til I finally died." Fingers doing plus signs over the eyes. Love that part.
This Dude is awesome i love it and i'm 70 years old rock on.
72
I'm a 64 yr old die hard rocker, but this guy really speaks to me. Most of my friends just don't get it, well too bad for them...
Oh my God, I just can't get enough of you Puddles. Your voice, your emotions and the soul you put into songs just makes them sound better. You are a certified artist, a gifted interpreter who turns classic songs into something sublime. Keep doing what you do, keep pushing the boundary, and keep inspiring people to love music even more.
I just found this after watching BeeGees video. This is an amazing version. What a voice and what a presentation.
Is there NOTHING this clown can't sing.........SUPERB!
Now that is what I call performance art!
This ain't no clown show . this dude is seriously amazing !!!
How to describe him Is Amazing
When I liatened to the original by Bee gees, I didn't get it; that time it was just another song. Now I got what the song was actually meant to be. You are amazing!
I once saw a Bee Gee's documentary and looks like this song is after Robin had left the BeeGees to persue a solo career. Later he figured out that it was a bad move and returned to the group and wrote this song about his regret.
beeharbour whatever you do never watch his non-Puddles videos then. Do anything but your homework but complain anyway.
This very moment reveals the song.
i wish i had found this song when i lost my partner of 40 years passed he loved this song and i sure he would have loved it so i send this to you bobby i love and miss you so much...
so sorry for your lose..
i also am so sorry, this song is my favorite puddles song and I know Bobby hears it Mr. Wade.
Wade sorry for your loss. This is a truly beautiful rendition of this song
I'm sorry for your loss. this song is epic
So sorry for your loss...
He’s a Genius!❤️
I believe his unique voice is meant to win souls to Jesus Christ. That voice is a unique voice from the Almighty God. So much peace in his voice. I love puddles pity party voice...
Great, sad and loving at the same time. Very powerful and he has a way of capturing one's attention and heart immediately.
Such a fantastic reproduction of an already wonderful song. Please Puddles, Never stop doing what you give to all your fans.
Puddles,you are very much loved are an angel sent from above.You shine as the stars in the heavens.
LOve this ultimate pity party song being done by a clown. PERFECT art. "A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.”
Gotta totally hit the golden buzzer for this brilliant performer! Lots of great memories watching him on America's Got Talent! He deserves to be totally back on their greatest hits!
simon does not like the fact that he wheres a clown outfit ??? is the show not about Talent ??? That he has in Abundance !!!
I'm glad to be alive the same time you are.
DITTO my friend !!!
Every single person on the planet should do themselves a favour and listen to Puddles at least once in their lives.
Cannot get enough of you Puddles - yoo Prince of Bodily Response.. to the human condition... I love your moves! Awwwwwwwwww an' you're so far away...
He takes a profound lyrics and puts them with his unique voice and extraordinary acting on the level of great performance. Always, a job well done.
I love watching this guy, he's GREAT. Not only is his singing great but the way he present himself while singing is the whole package.
What an expression..! Love his voice with his expression. Very special..Somehow his sadness expressions wash my sorrows like rainy day drive.
I’ve seen him twice in the last year. He is amazing, I will see him again.
I will never forget when he opened with this song at my first P3 show 2 years ago, hearing it live was absolutely stunning and literally knocked the wind out of me, leaving me fighting to hold back sobbing. No joke. Everyone must try their best to see him live sometime, trust me!
I love’u. Are so original and your Voice is great
I am going to see him live, Mark my words. It will haopen
He's coming to the Queens Hall in Edinburgh on the 29th April, I have tickets, and can't wait to see him..
Your doing the best you could and I enjoyed watching you perform. You are unique and there will never be anyone like you. Thank-you.
I am seeing him on the 9th in Nebraska. The whole family is stoked.
Обожнюю Вашу творчість. Браво ))
I am 48 and i never in my life seen anyone as orignal as you everyday i have to listen to different songs you sing i havent listen to much music in a good 10 years now everyday i have to listen to alot of your songs.sometime 4 or 5 times in a row i listen to just one song 😁
Excellent Song Choice. Bee Gees would be happy and supportive.
I love the nostalgic rock!
American Got Talent 2017 bought me here!
His reaction at the very end, starting at about 3:40, reveals what a precious being he is.
Can,t stop playing this, full volume. Tears in my eyes.
Artistry at it's finest. Bee Gee's lyrics and Puddles delivery.
Awesome voice!
Wow! Operatic it is. Emotional, focused, grand in its peaks. It is so wonderful to resurrect that great early Bee Gees hit. I used to listen to my 45 of it back in the 70s. I am more impressed and gratified with every song, Puddles. You are a gem.
Watching this video should be a metaphor for life. Don't prejudge, Don't try to "figure it all out", Just absorb the experience let become part of your collective!
That mic picked up every nuance in Puddles amazing voice. Noice!
the more videos I see of him, makes me feel that he is a genius and he always touches something inside me.
It always works because Puddles is so sadly serious as he mocks emotions, and himself. That's irony and pathos.
Puddles, could you take a sonic look at the Maverick's songbook? The song, "Neon Blue" would be like some of your Roy Orbison treatments, but more so. You could stretch into western, and country influences.
Love this amazing clown
His song list is endless
mr. Puddles never stop being you .
I Love Puddles He Puts His Whole Being Into His Work All Emotions are Captured 😊😢😮😂❤❤. Pete sr
I just played this for my wife to listen to on my iPhone because she hadn't heard it yet, and of course, she loved it. But, I also wanted her to hear it for this very specific reason: I am 57 years old, and I can count on one hand the number of times in my lifetime in which I've heard a cover of a song outshine the original.THIS, for me, without a doubt, is one of those times.
I don't care that you were kicked around since you were born. I don't care if you think you're a woman's man, or how you use your walk. Step aside, Bee Gees.
Puddles wears that Crown for a reason.👑
What puddle's had it is rightousness.
God made our bodies too hold two spirits. A good one or the other. If you choose the bad. You will become blinded,. A person has lied to himself. He or she lost their self
Puddles you're a gem of an act and the voice you possess is remarkable.
the camera work on this video is great! what a performance! no one can get this kind of emotion (and comic moments) out of a song like this but Puddles
Can't get enough of watching Puddles the sad clown. Great voice, and sings with such emotion. Great character. Well done. I think Puddles is sexy too! Glad I saw him on America's Got Talent. I hadn't heard of him before that. Thanks Puddles. Please do a show at the Pitman Theater in Pitman NJ. It's a beauitful old theater in South Jersey. My favorite songs are Sound of Science, I started a joke, Hallelujah, and Danny Boy. Love the Sad Clown and all his songs.
I really wish I could "like" this more than once, the numbers would be HUGE
I have a hard time not crying when I listen to this clown?
My fear of clowns has been totally cured, soooooooo love Puddles, awesome talent!!!
Puddles is so talented he did this song justice. Wow what a performance. Why isn't he a household name and sought after by producers and executives every where ?
Can you please tear my heart out just a little bit more, Mr. Puddles?
He has a Great voice like Tom Jones, “ What’s New Pussycat”? 👌💚❤️👍🎉
i really love this guy.. he has enourmous talent.. i get the feeling he may have sung opera at some point
Mr. Puddles' voice is amazing and his presentation is unlike anything I've ever seen. Damn if I don't feel stupid for missing his performance for seven years. Well...duh on me.
Jolly Good Show ! I must say, it was quite delightful ! They threw a little western twang on the guitar too 🎸
Fabulous Puddles, I luv ya ! Listening in Canada.
Do this one too for America's Got Talent. It shows your wonderful vocal ability with the dramatic appearance that is all you!
Since I left my home it became so hard to sing.
After I lost my father it felt impossible to sing a song without stopping it and crying.
But listening to your beautiful voice made me singing again.
Thanks.
this guy is amazing just cant stop listening to him
Love this guy he is amazing, talented beyond talent.. love love him.
I just recently discovered Puddles and have been going through all of his videos. This is simply one of the best.
I've said it a thousand times..... I love you Puddles!
let's hope America's Got Talent makes him there he should be
was surprised that no one knew who he was last night
He's a real talent...
Mermerizing performance!!!
Puddles doesn't just sing...... He puts on a great performance! I get it Puddles, The joke was on AGT 2017. You are a great performer with a wonderful singing voice that millions of people are happy to of found you. Your fans love you and want more of Puddles and your Pity Party. Please bring those big clown shoes down the South Jersey shore area for a big Pity party. That would make my day complete. Thanks guys.
Puddles you have to do this song and performance on AGT...this is a masterpiece. My baby girls kissed the monitor to try to get you to be happy...I love this performance
Saw him when he came to Houston recently. Absolutely amazing performance. This is on my 'must see' each and every opportunity.
Radish.
This was the most tragic, funny and entertaining piece of theatre yet by Puddles -- love it
The first time I heard this song was when I watched the movie Penn and Teller Get Killed. Now Penn is a Puddles fan and there are photos of them together. Two of my all-time, absolute favorite entertainers now together and inextricably connected in my brain. I love it!
He's bigger than AGT.
Way f'n bigger! Good on you for knowing this!
