Jussi Björling - A once in a lifetime performance of unparalleled perfection and spine chilling beauty.
Without a doubt, Jussi Bjorling is fantastic, what a voice.
I agree! Bjorlings version is way better than the rest. His voice is liquid Gold.🇸🇪👍🐐..
@@isaiahjohnston823 I agree with a but-Caruso was close and one has to take into account the scratchy nature of the record it was produced on. I mean we ought to leave him out because it is not fair to him or others to judge a voice on a bad medium. Jussi? Wow yeah!
They were all wonderful but David Phelps brought tears to my eyes.
Jussi` s timber and power are still to date the best singing i ve heard in my life. Some people maybe have more power and/or have a higher note but the two combined, Jussi´s voice makes my ear want more........
Jussi Björling of course. There’s a reason he is still the most famous opera tenor in history even tough he died 61 years ago. Pavarotti said in an interview; “when I have to rehearse a new opera, I first listen to how Jussi Björling did it. His voice was unique, and I want to follow his path. More than anything else, I would like people to compare me to Jussi Björling. That's how I strive to sing”.
His dead. David Phelps are the greatest 👌👏👏👏
DAVID PHELPS. when he sings ''fall to your knees, oh hear the angel's voices'' it's devastating.
Love him 💕💕
Agree
Jussi Bjorling every time
Jussi Björling - who I hadn't even heard of until yesterday. Listen to him sing the WHOLE song though. Unmatched to this day.
David Phelpd is the best of all
@@sylvialabadia4171 He's not even the loudest, not by a distance, he needs a mike practically in his mouth. There's no tremor or 'shimmer' to his high notes, no resonance or underflow to the low notes (ANYONE can sing high notes with practice). I'm afraid any comparison to Jussi Björling quickly falls away. Have a listen to the FULL song recorded live with NO amplification.
@@cubablue602 are you joking?
@@cubablue602 Jussi is amazing but that is comparing apples and oranges. The measure of a voice is not "tremor or shimmer" (which is called vibrato) because you can also purposefully sing it straight-tone for effect (think more modern, Whitney or Maria). Phelps sings with vibrato on almost all the high notes but especially the C# which he covers (classical sound). He is classically trained, just isn't an opera singer. Lack of amplication is also not a requisite. It is just a fact of modern music. Modern concert halls are designed with sound systems, opera halls are designed with acoustics in mind. Besides that, Phelps is university trained and could easily fill a theater without a mic.
Not the best jussi need to listen to another version he really is brilliant
David Freakin Phelps holy smokes!!!!!! I thought the heavens literally opened in half 💓
Björling of course - he is a legendary superstar and rightly so. Caruso sings it noble and beautiful (and Phelps isnt that bad in the pop department).
Pop department? You do know Phelps is a classically trained tenor? Not bad? He hits the notes none of the others do. With Phelps, he sings it from the heart, not an opera performance.
@@peggylouise3848 Then why does he sing it like a pop singer. Obviously not that well trained.
Why do you comment when you obviously don't know music. People who know music claim he is the best in the world on this song. It is obvious you have never heard him sing it in person.@@edwardkerrigan5356
The anointing that David sings with hits you in your spirit
I'm pretty sure that David Phelps is the soundtrack in Heaven.
Amen!!
Best comment! 😂
LOL...good one! True, but funny. haha
Love it! So true! David is what angels probably sound like when they're praising God 🙏♥️
I can’t wait for that choir and to be a part of it! Can you imagine singing with David and Anthem Burger playing the piano!! I cannot even!
Oh my! Any comparison outside of Pavarotti to Jussi Björling makes me smile. Especially for this song. He didn't need a microphone in his face, the recording was WAY off and the whole auditorium shook. Difficult to appreciate the POWER that his voice had, certainly for those not familiar with operatic tenor. He's not widely regarded as the greatest tenor ever for nothing.
What are you talking about you think they not used microphones when Pavo sang this you must be stupid
Wow David Phelps wow. I dont have words to discribe his voice. WOW
For me, nobody sings it more superbly than Jussi Bjorling
Bjorling for me. Ringing sound, well-placed in the mask, no strain or undue tightness, controlled, full, and resonant. Bravo!
The way he just gently slides into that first "o helga" in the first chorus is sublime. Effortless.
Same for me, jussi bjorling was the best to sing this Christmas song hands down.
David Phelps without a doubt. Such control and clarity in his voice. He sings with conviction because he believes in what he is singing! It makes such a difference.
I agree, David Phelps is awesome, but I do like HOMEFREE too... Most those other guys in this video have a mechanical voice, like robots.
David Phelps👍
He lacks the polish and is a more rugged performer.
You are absolutely correct!! It gave me immediate goosebumps!!
Jussi Bjorling is my favourite singer of all.
Bjorling. I heard him for the first time on the Light Programme. My sister wrote to the BBC and asked who had sung Nesum Dorma. It was Bjorling. Subsequently when Pavarotti was asked how he approached a song, his reply was to say he would listen to how Bjorling had done it. A true great.
The greatest tenor ever to set foot on a stage. Hands down!
Bjorling my #1 too. His voice makes me melt and those turns/trills/what have you after coming off the Bflat were perfection.
I agree
It was Bjorling for me too
Bjorling pleased my ears best.
I would like to hear Phelps do it on the same recording device as Björling did and vice versa...
There is only one, Jussi Björling!
He outclasses them all.
The greatest tenor ever to set foot on a stage. Hands down!
Agree!
I agree - Jussi Björling, the one and only :)
Absolutely!
Yep jussi bjorling.
DAVID PHELPS ALL THE WAY DELIVERS MY MOST FAVORITE CHIRISTMAS SONG OF ALL TIMES!!!!! CHILLS EVERY TIME!!
Jussi Björling,WOW! Vilken röst!
Jonathan...Andrea...Enrico...The Canadian tenors ...Hometown...David Phelps....so great. I have to say Jonathan. All so great
Jussi Björling gets my vote of course since he is the greatest tenor of all times... But I also love David Phelps because the Holy Spirit ministers through him when he sings.
Yes Goky Spirit!
@@teresawhetstone1832- Hope you realize all sins can be forgiven except blaspheme against the Holy Spirit.
If you listen to the entire song by each one, they are all great but David Phelps is in a league of his own with this song.
Jussi is like a force booming still after all these years! You can really feel the energy!
Bjorlings version is way better than Phelps! Who shouts with the Mike in his mouth! He's not even an opera singer! Bjorling is the 🐐🇸🇪👍.
David Phelps is not only pitch perfect, but has beautiful voice control, can hold his notes forever and sings with emotion! I absolutely love listening to him!
Exactly... he's the best...and holds his high notes forever like you said 🤣
He does have perfect pitch! I really think he is the best vocalist in the world!
@@yelyharmony2047 pitch perfect?
I loved him and his musical ability since the first time I heard him. He communicates the love of god, so we’ll
go all who
*"Oh holy night" by ANDY WILLIAMS. No one can sing this like ANDY WILLIAMS*
Jussi Björling every day of the week! He is considered to be one of, if not the best, tenors ever recorded.
Even Luciano Pavarotti said he couldn´t compare himself to Jussi Björling.
David Phelp
Hear hear
Jussi Björling -- possibly best tenor ever
I totally agree, I am very proud to be from Sweden.
Absolutely. His voice is in a category by itself ~ he’s the greatest tenor who ever lived.
Everyone was on b4 note, but David was C5. Very challenging for a Male voice but the fact he sustain it with such clearity is something out of this world.
A c5 is hard when you are doing it in an opera hall, it’s not hard with a microphone
bjorling, Caruso ,Antione and Bocelli. Never heard the great Caruso sing before, but boy, he was great. Nor Bjorling, just beautiful and of course Antoine and Bocelli. But they were all great and I would hate to put one above the other. Thank you to all of them for a few moments joy and pleasure. Thank you.🇬🇧
Jussi Björling was the best tenor he died 1960 and he was also Pavarotti idol
Jussi Bjorling without a doubt. His rendition of O Helga Natt (O Holy Night) is the most beautiful version I have ever heard.
The best
@@erikhedqvist8221 yes. I'm inclined to agree.
Have just discovered Jussi Bjorling’s O Helga Natt, it is superb, beautiful.
This is the correct answer.
Jussi bjorling is not so good than David phelps, David phelps has a tono more hight
Jussi Björling is the one and only! ❤️ Think about of he could have been recorded with the technology of today!!!
Do listen to to all of his version, in Swedish, called "oh hegla natt" or "Adams julsång"
It is AMAZING!
❤️❤️❤️
I agree with you, bjorling made this song sound better than anyone else!!
David Phelps. No question. Went higher than all the others and nailed it!
I'm partial to Jussi Bjorling. Strong, sharp, precise and powerful without yelling.
Yep I agree, jussi bjorling blows the rest out of the water with this Christmas carol/Hymn...
My vote goes to Jussi Bjørling, not just because I happen to be Scandinavian, but he is simply the best. 👍
There are many good versions of this song. Check out also the version by Jan Peerce - a contemporary of Bjorling's at the Met.
Jussi Bjørling. Best tune, clear diction and fabulous voice control.
I agree 100%jussi bjorlings voice is priceless. Phelps just eats the Mike!!
Without any doubt: Jussi Björling. Absolute perfection.
David Phelps hands down. Best voice. His voice goes right into the heart and I tear up everytime
Yes
Nice voice. Not in the same league, for me, with Pavoratti and Caruso.
Agreed. David Phelps was by far the best. You felt the song with his voice
He doesn't sing - he shouts.
I
David Phelps took that song to an unheard of level. He shook it on it's head, hugged it, kissed it and set it down like a boss!
Jennifer what a fantastic way to describe what David did I agree he is the best ever I've been saying that to everybody but you said it best in fewer words so awesome girl
This! I wish I had written this 🤣🤗🤣
I really don't agree. David Phelps is a good singer and his version of O Holy Night is what I would call a pop version. So what if he pushed the register up a note or whatever at the end. He is simple not in the same class as those magnificently trained voices of the great opera singers like Pavarotti, Caruso and most wonderful of all, Jussi Bjorling, the great Swedish tenor whose version O Helga Natt is the supreme example of how this beautiful hymn should be sung.
@@dermotmccabe9042 David Phelps is also a classical professionally trained voice. The only difference is, he chose gospel instead of opera.
@@violafox1999
Yes, we noticed that, lol
Jussi Björling by far the most best singer of them all. You have to understand the power of his voice when he sings. Wow!
Bjorlings voice is phenomenal, he owns this Christmas song hands down. Phelps has up to date acoustics amplifications microphones and he almost has the Mike down his throat, jussi bjorling beats them all....
David Phelps, Wow, what an amazing voice!!
Every time I hear David Phelps’ voice, I imagine an Angel on earth singing, and that it may be how we all sound in heaven. Can you imagine millions of people with a voice like that! The reason why his version is the best is because he sings with such conviction. He BELIEVES what he sings, and it’s his assignment to bring Jesus to the world. None of the others sang with meaning. They were simply notes. David Phelps sings and feels every word and makes you believe him.
💞 wow , hab Gänsehaut
I AGREE, DAVID PHELPS DOES IT BEST, MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SONG OF ALL TIMES!!!
Yes you hit the nail on the head. Add his technical ability to his conviction and passion and you have a one of a kind performance that is unequalled in all of history singing this song.
Amen! Thank you very much for that comment. I cannot begin to imagine! Just imagine what God sounds like when He sings!
Zephaniah 3:17
Yahweh your God is in your midst,
A mighty one who will save.
He will be joyful over you with gladness;
He will be quiet in His love;
He will rejoice over you with joyful singing.
There is no one like Jussi Björling clear ringing voice that stands out of it´s own right..! ;)
Bjorlings version of this Christmas carol/Hymn, is the finest . His voice is liquid Gold 🇸🇪👍..
David Phelps amazing, powerful rendition wins this one with greatest clarity at the highest notes and his ability to convey the ethereal emotion of the lyrics is unparalleled
they are all fantastic, but Jonathan Antoine is my winner...not only does he sing with such purity, he also sings with great emotion and passion. Its not just about hitting the notes, its about doing it with feeling
#1 David Phelps - just love vocals and emotion in his voice the best. #2 tied between Andrea Bocelli and Jussi Bjorling - both have amazing voices.
How on earth can you mention Bocelli and Bjorling in the same breath? Bocelli can't hold a candle to him.
There is much to like about Bocelli, but compared with Jussi, and the other 'giants', he is just a nice singer.
Jussi Bjorling is in a class of his own. Amazing!
Pavarotti said "I am only human", when asked about comparison to Bjorling.
Bjorlings voice is so powerful and sweet. He's the best of the rest! Easily..
This is one of my favorite songs. I have to go with Jonathan on this one.
Given the disparities in genres, style and recording technology it comes down to which moves the listener, but for me, always the incomparable Jussi Bjorling.
Bjorling is "famous" because someone said he's the greatest tenor a l-o-n-g time ago. He's not, and never has been, to me. In THIS contest right here, right now, today - David Phelps hit a C#5 - so he won the highest note AND he won it with clarity, emotional input, and strength. 'Nuff said.
@@haveagreatday2823 Joke hahaha Jussi Bijörling is another level in terms of power, control and techinique proficiency here, no had tension like David.
I was preparing dinner when David Phelps was singing this song on TV. I dropped everything to see who this talent was. No one has ever sang this song this way, and I dare to say never will.
David Phelps every time!!! The most stunning version of this song I have heard! I've listened to his version countless times and it always touches my soul..!🙏🥰🙏
My favorite Christmas song ever! No one has even come close to David Phelps. He hits you in the feels.
Jussi Bijörling is much superior in terms of techinique proficiency, control and power than David, no had like compare.
@@luamoliveira3467Davis Phelps is not a opera singer you’re right cannot be compared
David Phelps by a wide margin. I've listened to every one of the others and none, but Phelps, brought tears to my eyes. None, again except Phelps, seem to feel the music, the words, the meaning of the song. They were just performing another piece to get another applause.
Phelps is Chevrolet in comparison to Bjorling Rolls Royce...he would admit it himself.
Thats the truth, i cry everytime I hear him sing. David sings from his heart. You can actually feel what he is singing. I cry for hours listening to him sing. The best there is.
David Phelps has the power, the range the resonance, the passion and takes the song to a whole new level - literally. Highest high notes! ❤😊❤
what power? he has none
@@gavasiarobinssson5108Why on earth would you say that? He has the power of the Holy Spirit within him, not to mention the power within his voice. Take another look, please.
I'm no fan of opera but I really love Pavarottis voice. But in this case there I have to go with Jussi Björling. His voice is absolutely unmatched when it comes to the finer details. His singing is crystal clear and you can hear each and every word articulated to perfection. He has such power without ever feeling forced and at times he manages to sound so soft and warm. I believe that no one will ever be able to match his performance on this song.
There are many, many versions of this song on record. Many opera singers beside Bjorling have recorded it, and many could be considered the equal of Bjorling, depending on personal preference for a voice, which is what it comes down to anyway, in the end. If someone likes a particular voice, that's the one they will go to. My personal favourite is by the American tenor, Jan Peerce, but I don't say it is better than Bjorling's version, just my preference. There have been some appalling 'pop singer' versions, which mangle both the melody and the lyrics, but no doubt they are liked by many. Each to his own.
You are so right, his performance is mesmerising. I admit I was disappointed by Pavarotti's rendition. It sounded 'thin'.
David Phelps....best male vocalist in the world. I've seen him live 11 times now. Unbelievable.
I would give anything to hear him sing live. I’m jealous!
David Phelps is best👏
I'm super jealous of anyone who's gotten to hear him live. I know that there is something about hearing a person sing, IN PERSON. Something about physically having their voice singing live in your ears that's different than listening to on a CD or video. I just bought 4 David Phelps Live DVD's and can't wait until they come in the mail. I live in Maine so it's kinda hard to see him perform. Would love to be at the Barn Bash one year.
@@Derek-Barbosa I saw David in Alton Bay New Hampshire about four years ago. Fantastic....been to the Barn Bash twice. Go if you can....worth every penny. I am also from new England...lived in NH for 20+ years....my son lives in York Maine...small world!
I have seen him twice now and will go any time he is within 4 hours traveling time. Got to sit on the second row both times. Awesome is the only way to describe it.
O Heavenly Voices may they all vocalize in Heaven But David Phelps is simply one to reduce me to tears of Joy and Praise
I was super impressed with Jonathan Antoine's quality and control and high notes. He is young and a winner/runner up of America's got Talent I think... Correct me if I'm wrong...I think his career has just begun, and he will go far!! How can you not love Pavarotti??? But my fave hands down and the one who brings the most emotion and talent to the stage and heart is David Phelps!!
It was bgt when he was 17, check him out singing unchained melody and also singing Parla piu piano in italian.
Agreed.
I swear, David Phelps brings me to tears every time I hear his voice. It is truly unbelievable.
Phelps hands down: clarity, effortless and he hit the highest note better the opéra singers.
Bravo Phelps!!
All of the judgements here are ignoring a fact that most of the singers are Italian who by the gift of nature has Opera Voice; Whereas, Jonathan Antoine is pure Brit and to sing par these Italian Opera singers makes him stand out.
David is awesome. What a voice
Björling by a good margin. Phelps' notes were the most challenging from a technical perspective, but they took away from the beauty of the song in that moment, IMO. Björling's approach was clean, precise, he didn't hold the note forever in an attempt to show off beyond what the song already called for, it was just about perfect. Antoine would be a distant second, of the people who sang the song as written. The groups shouldn't be considered along with the solo performances, but as a separate category; in that category, presuming we ignore any mixing/sweetening effects, Homefree's was the most impressive.
I think that Home Free's version is impressive and unique is because they're an a Capella group. The church they recorded their version in had great acoustical aspects which displayed Austin Brown's beautiful high tenor voice.😊
David Phelps by a mile! God has blessed him with that amazing voice, and he uses it to serve God. We are all blessed to hear him sing.
Jussi, second to none !
Powerful sweetness.
David Phelps all day long!!! So much heart and anointing!!!
#1 David Phelps, and to hear him sing that live is an outer body experience, even at the age of 51, he's still the best!
@David Phelps There is no once else besides an Angel that can worship our Lord God than you!
I liked Jussi Bjorling because of the bright tome in his voice and David Phelphs because he is super-human C# and holds it forever!
David Phelps by far! Love his voice
Jussi Bjorling. Please look him up and listen to more of his wonderful tenor voice.
David Phelps has the All time best version even now over 50 yrs old still doing a c5 and recently a D5
David Phelps. AMEN
David Phelps! The best.
You can feel what he's singing. People don't always sing with passion.
Totally agree.
C#5
David Phelps 100%. He is on a whole new level, and you can truly tell he is using his voice to praise the Lord with!
Asolutely Jonathan Antoine ❣️
Absolutely without a doubt...David Phelps!! Superb 👌❤
J. Antoine has the crucial clarity of notation required to make this a perfect rendition. If you go back and listen again, his vocal timpani is quite solid.
He is nasal. Kermit the frog sound.
Johnathan A. my favourite ....
Jussi Bjorling no doubt.What a voice !!
Bjorlings voice is liquid Gold easily the best tenor ever 🇸🇪🐐💯..
Mr. Phelps. His voice is superior. His tone is beautiful.
Jussi is the best. The control he had over his voice was outstanding.
Nah. David trumps him big time.
@@mariahisthe1 Phelps just shouts.
@@edwardkerrigan5356 Phelps is obviously the best...unless you're deaf!
@@towardsheaven4196 When he is singing I wish i was.
Jussi bjorlings voice is so powerful and sweet, Phelps just eats the Mike!
I heard David Phelps this afternoon on the television singing this song.......tears were flowing down my face, not just for the music in his voice. The music in his HEART matched the song. Heavenly.
So true!
He sings with such passion! I've been a fan for years!
He is an anointed singer.
Always have and always will love the voice of David Phelps. The other are Great Tenors. I sang 1st Tenor myself. God gave all of them the talented voices they have. I hope David as well as the others can ,with God's grace (those that are still with us) continue to use their talent. God sent a blessing when he put David in Bill Gaither's view, Guy Penrod as well .🙏
David Phelps. Not only is he in the stratosphere, but his passionate love for Christ comes through in his performance.
That C#5 twice and to hold it...I mean.... God blessed all of them with beautiful voices. But he sure gave David Phelps a little extra 💚
David Phelps for certain
David Phelps, imagine that. A Gospel singer singing higher than the greatest operatic voices in history.
Thrice actually
@Ernie Sluder yup.
I sang in a backup choir for Gaither Christmas concert once with my wife. We sang backup for David Phelps on this song (not this video, but on tour). It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us. He's an incredible vocalist. Each of these guys is fabulous, but Phelps defines tenor vocalists for this generation. :)
I think you're absolutely right. Another wonderful rendition of this song is performed by Larry Ford. David Phelps and Larry Ford ( not mentioned here ) are two of my favorite tenors. Both are amazing and I always feel spirit filled when I hear either of these men. Merry Christmas!!
Jussi Björlings version is outstanding.
Yes! His voice is so powerful and sweet. He sings this better than anyone. His voice is so pure and sublime. The others not near bjorlings rendition of this Christmas song...🇸🇪..
All impressive but i can tell because of the ease of ANTOINE voice he could easily of gone much higher! Impressive!plus!
Jussi Bjorling without any question! Goosebump stamp!! No goosebump from any of the others. Except Jonathan Bovaine have a nice voice. Listen to the whole song by Jonathan. He is good and will even get better with age. Such richness and tone in his voice.
I honestly don’t think David Phelps has an end to his range. Wow!
David Phelps, is it.
Great singers all of them, glad to listen to them all.
Working with a Outstanding price of music helps.
These are all great voices but David Phelps not only has the voice, the pitch, the breadth - he is also the most thoroughly inspired and inspiring one. He not just sings for men, he apparently also sings to God almighty. At least that’s how I felt. His ‘No More Night’ is my favorite and go-to number whenever I need my perspective re-focused. He is a gift to us.
I watched another comparison of David and Pavarotti and David sure has the highest and whole voice
@@EmmaMagnolia-mh1ol All due respect, he may reach the high notes, but he puts forth obvious effort while the Great Pavarotti's voice flows effortlessly with him hardly raising a brow. The difference is in comparing silk to cotton.
David Phelps - hands down!!!! Everything. Passion, tone, just enough vibrato, and soul. Yes. David! He is not just singing words - he believes them! Amen!
David Phelps absolutely is the most amazing tenor ever.......he sings with passion and love for God! What a difference that makes! I can see his faith in God all through his songs. Wow! Thank you Lord.
without a doubt David Phelps
Let's put this in context: David sang a note one and a half steps HIGHER than any of the other tenors, and did it effortlessly, with full-bodied tone, power and passion, using his classical training tempered with a pop sensibility.
No contest.
Full-bodied tone? Pavarotti was a light tenor and has twice the body David has. David lacks chest development. This is more evident the lower in his register you go, but it affects all of his range.
@I MP do you know what pop means?
@@juanhoffmann4096 yes I know. But you are saying he had a full bodied tone when he does not in a video with people with a much fuller voice than him.
@@Ignasimp Perhaps the 'difference of opinions' is due to perception and precise definition of the words being used to evaluate . . . . And if we
the {quitepreferences favoring David Phelps, we rationalize that David's IS the most pleasing and unusual sound that most of the listeners prefer ~ and we humbly enjoy the
blessing of his gifted voice. Most listeners don't have the experience or
ability to actually hear as clearly as a trained critic.
@@Ignasimp Lmao his belting range up to C5 is very heavy and chesty yet extremely resonant lol talking about underdevelopment
Johnathan Antonine. Clear, sharp, high notes. He also pronounces the actual words instead of garbling them for effect. Although Pavarotti is my 2nd choice.
Absolutely Dvaid Phelps! He sings for Jesus Himself...to His glory forever and ever ❤❤❤
Jussi Björling is outstanding.
Jussi Bjoerling, one of the most beautiful voices ever. But also: where are the real powerhouses? Franco Corelli and Mario del Monaco? Or even Lanza, for sentimentality.
Jussi. The greatest tenor ever to set foot on a stage. Hands down!
The present audience includes youngsters who lack knowledge or ignore to learn anything what happened before their birth. So, no wonder that names of del Monaco, Corelli, Bergonzi or di Stefano are unknown to them. They probably cannot distinguish achievements of Christopher Columbus and Captain Cook. This is how schools are teaching our next generations who one day will take over...
@@johnfalstaff2270 You're right John. One way or another the young are getting the idea that nothing ever existed before they were born. And this might not bode well for the future.
I was so blessed to hear David Phelps do it in person. I was so moved and thrilled by such an amazing moment that I cried ...got goose bumps from head to toe...and felt like the gates of heaven had opened wide. I love Bocelli, but David Phelps does Oh Holy Night like no other person I have ever heard, and he does it every time he sings it! It is simply divinely inspired!
David Phelps and his angelic voice, hands down!!!!!
I heard him live two weeks ago. He is still the best. I had tears and goose bumps the whole time. But when he sang this, I melted it was so beautiful.
Thank You for putting this together!! What a group of super-stars. One of the greatest songs ever written. It is a mainstay for scores of vocalists and choirs throughout the world, for good reason. Thank You Again. My vote is for David Phelps. The complete production, with his perfect delivery, the Christian All-Star Choir behind him, and amazing Piano work by the late Anthony Berger, makes this a complete and stellar experience. David has an amazing volcal gift, and he combines it with a perfect delivery, so strong, so controlled, and so clear. This puts him in a class by himself. Everybody I play this for is amazed, and they start shaking their heads in amazement. I get chills every time I hear it done by David. It is 22 years old, and it NEVER gets old.
Amen! Agree. David Phelps rendition of this song brings me into the Throne Room of God...on my face in awe.
I'm not amazed - I think it's awful.
My favorite is Jonathan Antoine. His voice is strong and only gets stronger with time. Love his voice.
David Phelps by far. He sings from his soul.
Yes,direct Worship To God... extreme soul praise for Him. Tecnica and devotion
When he sings, you can actually see the song! Amazing!
Jonathan Antoine.. absolutely gorgeous voice.
Carusos squillo is by far the best, Björling is also very good. David Phelps C#5 is very impressive as well.
David Phelps. I literally listen to him sing Oh Holy Night all year long, in addition to so many of his other songs. I saw him live 5 or 6 years ago in Macon GA with GVB. I think he will be leading heavens’ choir in eternity. Wish he knew how much his music blesses me. It just makes me happy!
Eric it blesses you and it blesses me and it blesses millions multi-millions of people around the entire world can you imagine God has blessed him because he has used his voice to praise God✝️😇 kind of gets to me; just to say that makes me cry😢 TEARS OF JOY AND THANKSGIVING... God has given to us MANY GIFTS and David Phelps is one of THE BEST ONES EVER!!! I love listening to this song over and over and over again and I don't need Christmas, either, to listen to it...God bless you Sir.., don't we have a magnificent voice to listen to in David Phelps⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ and many other of the Gaither people throughout the years I'm a huge fan of both David and Gaither vocal band and really all of his concerts are just really incredible
I've met him a few times now and have said those very words to him! He loves to hear how his talent HUGELY blesses us all. I get to see him perform this very month at his Barn Bash Christmas concert. Can't wait!! He is so amazing live and sooo connects with the audience.
