Week #2 of #CoversForCalories went off without a hitch! My sincerest of thank yous to all of those who have participated :) Because of your dedication, we've already gotten "Chandelier" and now, "I Dreamed a Dream"! This was....an exhausting cover for me x) I think I've avoided this cover for some time, because I didn't want it to come off as contrived or fake, ya know? This is just, such a powerful, and doing this without really throwing yourself into it just feels like a sin against man lol So, I've been holding off! But, because of #CoversForCalories, because of YOU GUYS, I could run away from it no longer. I hope y'all enjoy, and keep on sweating people! #CoversForCalories is FAR from over ;)
As always, so many thank you's for continuing to support me on my musical journey. If it weren't for y'all, I probably wouldn't be able to do this as frequent as I have been able to :) I hope to keep to an even better schedule as the summer goes on, and STAY TUNED for some special announcements coming up in the near future~

Music: I Dreamed a Dream fromLes Misérables
Vocals/Mixing: Caleb Hyles
Staging: Kara Howell - Hudba
"He took my childhood in his stride!" I literally gasped out load, you are spectacular and I'm going to make it my challenge to watch every song you've ever sung!
Thank you so much! Hope you've enjoyed the channel and check out my gaming channel to see my more silly side :p

"I Dreamed A Dream"
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed
Gasped out load? Nice little Freudian slip, there.
If they remake Les Miserables they better freaking cast you as Fantime. Shave your beard and put on a wig. I will accept nothing less.
Dylan Fujii this made me laugh thank you 😃
He's a great singer but you can tell he's just not an actor😂
Dylan Fujii lmao
Lmao, agreed, but Anna did respectable job.
if HE's not an actor, then where is this chills coming from? he sang it with feelings, pretty much what actor do.
My reaction watching this:
00:57 Nice beautiful start! Very emotional and controlled vocals
1:16 fantastic controlled vibrato as always
1:46 okay NOW were getting somewhere! Vocals are getting more powerful by the second
2:17 still can't believe that someone with a tenor voice like Caleb's can hit notes that far in the Baritone range
2:28 No goosebumps yet but they are on the way. And great breath control!
2:53 Here comes the emotional delivery of songs that I know and love him for!
3:03 pretty damn impressive but I know what you can do Caleb... When is this going to kick off?
3:10 THERE IT IS! Holy FUCK what a transition from a baritone to tenor range! I feel like someone poured ice water over my back with the chills I got, and the goosebumps are now completely covering my body... Caleb never fails to absolutely amaze me.
3:23 I already know this is going to be stunning... what a surprise, it was!
3:31 I would give my left testicle to be able to sing like that
3:36 if this was a broadway or film version, I would already be standing up applauding by this point
3:52 Cmon Caleb... big finish... NAILED IT!
4:00 great acting and one of the most emotional endings to this song I have ever heard...
Holy hell Caleb you dominated that. Probably my favorite version of that song I've ever heard!
Caleb is not a tenor. A 1st or 2nd baritone at best. Good range, but not a tenor. He’s screaming the top end, that’s not control. Emotional- not control. Overall a good performance for a male singing as a female lead.
I loved your analysis!
@@montanamade8712 He's a baritenor. He definitely isn't screaming and obviously has heaps of control up in his mixed range. So basically he has a baritone and tenor range and is better than most baritones and tenors.
It starts before that. 😉😀
@@montanamade8712
It doesnt matter or not. I listened a lot of clasical Tenors but most of them dont touching my Heart like Chaleb.Thats the difference.
Caleb never just "sings"
Right
i wish he did
pathetic

@@hum-dinger2453 down
The key change towards the end = goosebumps
There was no key change.
Wtf you're talking about xd
If anything it was that he went an octave up :3
There is a key change, from Eb major to F major
Where is the key change...?
with just listening, I assumed he was actually crying.
Me too.
He's not but something tells me most of the comments section is.
How do you know he's not?
I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now to what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.

How are you NOT on Broadway?? Your voice is awesome no matter what you are singing. Thank you for sharing your awesome talent Caleb.
3:10-3:56 Gave me CHILLS. My favorite song from my favorite musical. GREAT WORK CALEB!
***** I was amazed, simply amazed :')
***** I agree I keep playing this part over and over again and keep getting chills from it :)
+Destinee S. I didn't get BIG chills but I teared up...
I never cry...
+DisneyDestinee Read this comment right before getting to that part... OH my heart.... and the chillsssssss
Mostly I just teared up
MY HEART
OH
Going up the octave made all the difference.
Colleen Scott I had a really hard time with that decision, too xD I recorded two separate versions, and this one won out in the end :)
I agree. That was beautiful.
Caleb Hyles Your range is just so impressive :) I love when you sing in the higher part of your range though. You definitely captured the emotion of this song. Nice work!
This paralysed me. Quite odd to say, but I have never been so moved by a performance that I simply could not move, not blink, not look away for a second. This was extatically and unforgivingly beautiful, and I truly thank you for allowing me to become completely lost in your performance. Caleb Hyles, you're the man.
Thank you for your very kind words ♥
The pleasure's all mine, all the best to you and your music!
i'm not crying, you are
Luci nya No I'm not !
yes i am
No I'm n- oh fuck it, yes I am
Who cares!?
No, it's just something in my eye!
Let me tell you something. I am familiar with pretty much every Fantine and every version of this song. My favorite lyric is "But there are dreams that cannot be..." because it basically sums up my past with a certain person who could never love me back and how it destroyed my life, hence my attraction to "I Dreamed a Dream". Anne Hathaway's performance is the only one that could make me cry, because of how she sang that line, all of the raw emotion behind it. She was the only one who could make me sob. Until today. I was pretty nonchalant listening to this song until you sang that line, and it was like feeling my heart wrenched out a second time. I immediately doubled over crying. And it is because of your emotion, your power and understanding of this song. And I have to give you the biggest bravo I have ever given, because you have captured the soul of a song, which is a very rare gift. So thank you for your talent, and truly, well done. This is the highest compliment I could ever give.
hansi6119 Wow! I am truly honored and humbled by your response. Thank you for the wonderful critique and taking the time to encourage me in this way :) Anne Hathaway completely OWNS this song! In a way no one else has. It took everything in me to NOT think of her performance while singing. Even still, I was heavily inspired by her performance, and I hope it captures that spirit. Thank you again for the support, and I sincerely hope that you are in a better place then you were before :)
Caleb Hyles Please put this on Spotify. Something this incredible and moving shouldn't have to stay only on CZcams.
This guy is absolutely amazing unreal take a bow young man
That was fucking beautiful dude. Caleb Hylthaway over here.
M9l
Watching this you looked like you needed a hug. Dude that was so meaningful and you could actually grasp on the feeling when sang that. I mean I've watch Les Miserables and fell in love with the song but omg dude you slayed the song \(^o^)/
thanks man! appreciate the love :) I do love this song :)
No problem and hey just saying i'd love to see you sing If i can't love her from Beauty and the Beast and/or Mamma Mia from none other than Mamma Mia ^-^
Crazy enough, I did the Beauty and the Beast song 2 years ago - look through the oldies you might find unexpected stuff ;)
Ok ^-^
Hunter Dunn I volunteer as tribute to give him the hug.
such an amazing voice..... you got all the emotion of the song and multiplied it by 10000000.... literally im crying
Thank you for the love ♥
i have chills. My skin crawled with the words.
yay? :3
He is honestly one of the most talented people I have ever seen...
Caleb you're amazing.

You should totally do "Memory" from Cats! It is such a powerful and loud song, it would really fit your singing style! Please consider it.
Gemsiey YES
A classic you don't see covered often enough anymore. Mind. It's not exactly an easy piece.
@@WhiteTiger950 to be fair, neither is this
Yes!!! Do it!!! Please!!!
Connor Burnett he will never do it. Years gone by
This made me cry..
+Bryan Hudgens *gives tissue*
+Caleb Hyles Thanks bro, I just ran out doing.....uh.....other... crying....elsewhere.... yeah.
I love how you didn't just sing the song; you performed it. In a lot of covers I've seen, people just focus on hitting the right notes and sounding good but you conveyed the emotions behind the song excellently. You captured Fantine's bitterness perfectly- which made me cry like a baby- and I also love that you didn't change any of the pronouns. An excellent cover :)
Memento Mori Thank you for all those kind words :) I love this song, it definitely brings out some very real thoughts and feelings and I am glad I was able to do this song justice~
OMG! I just found his cover today. 2018! He was conveying the parts in his heart that are still unhealed! Anne did that in the movie. And she did it live in front of the camera!
The "and still i dream he'll come to me" is the heavy hitting emotional core of the song and you shredded it, bud. Incredible
My jaw actually dropped at that octave change which was executed perfectly.
Nailed it! And from 3:10 I DIE!
I cried ~
simply amazing. i was like holy shit.
How the frick frack patty wack does this not have more views? I like cried it's so beautiful. Caleb, your voice is one of the most amazing things I've heard, and I can't wait to hear more!!!! :)
+kawaiiskull "frick frack patty wack" lol'd a bit more then I probably should have :P
"Frick frack patty wack"!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That shit had me rotflmbo🤣🤣
I just shadowed a drama class today and we were talking about the tools of an actor and I saw every one of them modeled in your song. Vocal expression, facial expression, gestures, stance....all of it. Please, take that talent as far as you can. It is a gift. I have grown up in theater and you have got one of the most gorgeous voice I've heard. Josh Groban who?
You captioned Fantine's sorrow and bitterness over all the misfortunes in her short life perfectly! So much talent
You broke my heart. Beautiful.
Usagi Hime thank you :)
And now I'm sitting here crying at work. ...Beautiful. Incredible.
hitokage4 OMG! I am GIGGLING! I have been on TEARS!
I love the way he really gets into the song which makes it so much better to listen to because you can hear raw emotion .
How are you not on Broadway???
Masterpiece, as soon as i saw you upload this i went "o thats gonna be real good gonna save that for later" such expectations are the making of a star, we already expect lots from you, because we can, we believe in your talent man, i even tried to be a tough judge on this one and not get chills, but they came regardless, can't fight the chills! one of the best versions ive heard, pure disney voice too.
Misael V. Means a lot, man - thanks for all those kind words, keeps me going :)
Caleb... can you do more songs from Les Miserables? Your talent is displayed much much better with emotional songs like this one...
Definitely on my list :) thank you!
+Caleb Hyles still waiting for more Les Miserables songs.. my wife loves the song "on my own"
Caleb, Your emotion and intensity are amazing. The words come to life through your voice.
Caleb, just beautiful.
Please please do Do You Hear the People Sing!
+YatzSliversword OMYGOD YES PLEASE
Omg I love this movie yes OMGYES
He did.
YatzSliversword it happened
* clears throat * YAAAAAAASSSSS
IT CANT BE THIS GOOD JUST CANNTTT
WOW!! Those emotions and how it was sung......simply amazing. Hats off
You can just.....feel the emotions as he sings,the sorrow and sadness flow from your voice and it’s just pure majesty,I am on the verge of tears
Omg, Caleb you take my breath away every time I hear you sing.
this song make me cry every time
I'm a Broadway fan and I can see and feel the emotion as you sing. Just beautiful! I just feel like crying.
OH MY FUCKING GOD why i've been whatching yout channel for so long and i've never seen this cover i literally got got goosebumps Caleb you are such an inspiration i practice singing everyday and i hope to be as good as you one day
Please, please, please,do Bohemian Rhapsody! ♥♥♥
Selina Kyle You’re a good person ;)
+Selina Kyle OMG YESS!!!
yeees the fucking best song in the world!
+Selina Kyle YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Oh my god yes
This cover is so emotionally draining to listen to. I just absolutely love it! You give it so much justice. Hell, you do it even better than the original! Better than Susan Boyle's version as well. You have an opera singer's voice. You drag me in and make me feel amazing, complete. This song fills me inside, giving me shivers! I am absolutely in love with your voice! (Plus you're extremely handsome to boot, so it makes watching the video nice also. ;) )
You have the voice of an angel; keep singing man with the golden voice. 💖💖💖
***** Thanks for all that man :) I greatly appreciate that and I hope you enjoy the rest of my channel!
Caleb Hyles 💖💖💖 I plan to ☺
I've been listening to this song over and over for a week now sense I found it and the words have had meaning everyday I've heard it... Today they had a different meaning.... Today my beat friend has lost someone very dear to her (again for the 3rd time this year) and right now I'm waiting in the rain listening to it again as I wait for our friend to pick me up and take me to her, so that we can listen to this song together... I hope that anyone who took the time to read this will stay warm in this cold winter, stay dry in this rainy weather, and have no tears shed for unnecessary loss. May whatever god you believe in be with you and whatever angels you knew behold you
What!!!!??
I was soooo surprised.
I really love you from Japan!
thanks so much! I will be in Japan in December! :D
Hello Caleb! I have a request from my sister - could you do Too Little Too Late from Star vs The Forces of Evil? Thank you if you do! :)
I love your voice, your range and your theatricality if their is a male Eponine you will be my choice your AMAZING!
***** This is Fantine's song, not Eponine's. Easy mistake, though, they both have very emotional songs.
Yolonda Miller Oh my bad... thanks for correcting me.
Eponine's biggest song is on my own, but I think lots of people get them confused, ha ha.
My nigga.
I'm literally speechless after all that. There were so many moments where I couldn't even make a noise to try and articulate how powerful this performance was. The sheer amount of raw emotion, not even in your voice, but on your face, is extraordinary. You just took my breath away with this video. I love Caleb Hyles. Thank you for being so amazing.
I know what Les Misérables is about but the way you sing it makes me imagine someone losing their best childhood friend, remembering sweet moments while they walk up to their dead body while shaking and crying. Man. The feels.
All that talent just shot me full force in the feels...
Wow i already heard this like a billion times and yet you still managed to make me cry. Suscribed!! Dammit i already suscribed to you 2 years ago :(
MrKuveer Haha! Glad to see you're still here :) :) :)
Absolutely amazing. I got chills in how emotional you sang the song. I feel like you sang it with your whole heart and you are my role model for that
I lost the love of my life...in the autumn they were gone.
The emotion and pain that comes through in this voice is how I still feel...over 4 years later.
I commented about this in another one of your cover videos, but I'll restate myself. You are absolutely amazing. So much feeling and devotion and commitment to what you do. Everyone who listens can feel whatever you sing, whether it be despair, hope, hatred, love...not many people can do that now, but you do, and for that, I applaud you.
Amazing job. Beautifully done. Your voice never ceases to amaze me
I was listening to this while doing homework and I suddenly got goosebumps towards the end when he started singing with that embittered emotion about what they had lost. Just found out about Caleb today but I already subscribed.
This gave me chills. The amount of emotion youre putting into this is astounding.
absolutely nailed it Caleb! Not just from a singing perspective, but also emotional and your acting ability, well done! =D
I'm crying. This was amazing. Just how I sing. Everything or nothing. Brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
how r u not more famous? music is not music until u make someone feel the emotion. you brought the masterpiece to life.
I loved the ascending major scale on the word shame. That was perfect.
My first video, I watched from you, and I just want to say; magnificent, I love how much feeling and emotion you put into the entire song! Great job, keep doing what you do!
I motion for a gender-bent full-length Les Mis production. No changing of characters, names, or lyrics. We'll worry about costumes later. Mr. Hyles, you're hired as Fantine, and for the love of god please don't shave. Now we need to find a chick who can play Javert at a Norm Lewis level and we're golden.
Last verse/finale: Chills. In a nice warm room, mind you.
Victor Hugo would roll over in his grave lol.
Change that to Philip Quast.
Literally tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat by the end. Wow. Caleb you should be truly and justifiably very proud of this.
My heart is exploding...TY beautiful soul!!!❤❤❤
Acting is spot on, broadway worthy if you ask me. The song was a tiny but pitchy in some parts but I think it helped add to the emotional levels of the song. Honestly really love this cover ^_^ the last les mis song i remember you doing was "bring him home" a few years back, and I'm glad you've done another!
I hope the calories for covers is going well!
Peace, love, metal~! ;)
First time hearing you sing this, I felt it. You gave me chills and made my eyes tear up. 10/10
Im crying, I truly love this song it's been my favorite for years and the emotion that he adds to it simply BEAUTIFUL!!!
Anne Hathaway is a lot better here than in the movie
+Storeymaker1 Great comment. Can't stop laughing.
Anne Hathaway was amazing she cried like she was there she sung while crying and did it fabulously Caleb is seriously awesome and brings me to tears but Anne Hathaway is just as amazing
but its still fablous
Anne is nothing compared to this.
you should hear the 25th anniversary with Leah Silanga (I don't know if I'm spelling her name right)
there were tears from my face
Holy Hell! This is even better then some of the stage preformances! So much emotion put into it! Chills and tears!
That was incredible. Actually incredible. The voice and the emotion, it was all so overwhelming. I could actually hear your pain. Ugh; so amazing.
I love how your voice sounds when you get into the emotional parts of songs. It is difficult to descibe how it sounds. It is just so powerful and emotion-filled.
Such emotion...it's beautiful, you knocked it waaaay out of the park. Truly a wonder sir.
You made me cry, and I haven't cried in a long time...thank you
Oh yes and thanks for being an amazing fan I wanna thank you for your love and support which you showed towards me all this while,i opened a personal page to get through my fans.I want to let you know that your likes and comments on my page have never gone unnoticedyou can text me on Email (annehathaway178@gmail.com )
He had all the feeling put into it. I teared up from the beauty.
Beautiful! So MUCH emotion and passion
Holy crap this is amazing, ESPECIALLY since you added emotion. I did not expect that my good sir, I did not.
1000 likes! 1000 more! You are very talented :D
uuuggghhh these goosebumps won't leave me beee this is so gorgeous
have i ever told you that your timbre and your vibrato combined are my favorite thing ever??? and you have SUCH control.
i would kill to have you teach me your moves!!!
Omg...that was so beautiful....it really touched me...what an amazing voice!!!!
The emotion in your voice makes your sound so much fuller and beautiful, thank you for doing all these Les Mis covers.
That legitimately made me start crying.
You should probably do more Les Miserables covers.
Also, you should do a cover from Doctor Horrible's sing-a-long blog :) you could make it sound great!
Ps. You should also do Rocky Horror picture show. And Sweeny Todd and and pretty much every musical would be good.
K thanks
Michelle Joy I've done Bring Him Home and Empty Chairs - but more to come I am sure ;) Thanks for the support! And Stick around for October for Horror For Hyles for some more villainous covers :D
Caleb Hyles Oh hell yes! I expect to see you go Full Javert. :P
+Caleb Hyles If you cover 'Slipping' I may genuinely explode ^^
Matt Wilson yes, yes, yes!!! Do slipping, please!!! Or My Eyes :D. Please? I subscribed (A)
Incredible Caleb. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
This is beautiful im not sure what else to describe it as besides beautiful
my eyes are sweating so much h e l p m e
Captain Digs its not tears its manly Eye sweat
Y'all lucky. I develop a major eye-sweating problem while watching this video. It's really bad. I mean, there is just a pool of eye-sweat inside my room now.
This is your best cover yet (Haven't seen all of your's), and definitely among the top 5 best covers i've ever seen on youtube.
When you raised an octave toward the end, I was not expecting that.
Holy freaking chills. You are incredible, man. I felt every second of that.
This was my first time seeing a video of yours and came in with pretty low expectations. I was blown away.
Bravo!
This is absolutely amazing!! I can feel the emotions in your voice so powerfully. Truly astonishing.
I'm very, very impressed by this. Always enjoying your videos a lot, but this one is just amazing. One of my favourite videos of yours and one of my favourite versions of "I dreamed a dream". I've enjoyed it as much as the performance of the wonderful Lea Salonga (who is my favourite Fantine). I got extrenely excited when I noticed that you had uploaded a cover of this song and it turned out to be even better than I had anticipated.
just found this gem, probably one of your most compelling performances.
Caleb i love the emotion you laid there.... thanks for making me cry
I can only imagine how powerful this song would be paired with an animal shelter commercial.
I really appreciate you not changing the lyrics, little things like singing "And still I dream *she'll* come to me" changes the entire context of the song, AND SO MANY MAN WHO COVER THIS SONG DO IT! Insulting such a beautiful song in the process. Great work.
I cried, honestly the best interpretation I've heard.
Still gives me chills even though I've listened so many times. You truly have a gift Caleb
as a seventeen year old, this is my first time feeling emotional over hearing a cover. i'm touched and i feel now that it is truly more important to resonate the essence of song with the listeners
You are so in your element when covering Les Miserables, that was absolutely amazing man, well done.
