It’s the “hallelujah” after the bridge for me 😂😂😂 thank you everyone for your KIND comments!! Sending light and love to each and every one of you ♥️♥️♥️ EDIT: So I ran into Guitaro5000 in Union Square after walking in the Halloween Parade downtown! My roommate and I were looking for something fun to do, and there seemed to be some crazy things going on around us. We just stuck around for the fun of it! When I saw Reggie and his sign that said “Sing with me for free!”, I knew I had to take the opportunity. I actually felt like something called me to do it. LITTLE DID I KNOW this guy had a whole team of cameras documenting the whole thing. I am truly the most grateful to have stumbled upon you, Reggie! Coming to the city hasn’t been the easiest experience for me, but there have been a couple moments of magic like this one that remind me why I came to NYC in the first place. I have been itching to get out and sing for people and this experience with Guitaro5000 gave me SO MUCH JOY! I was on cloud nine for the rest of the night. I wish I wasn’t so nervous in the video so I could have expressed my gratitude better in person... I can’t wait to see more content from you, Guitaro5000 and hopefully collab again in the future! ♥️ You can follow me on all platforms @imelithomas!
he's not just an incredible singer, he's a performer! there was audience interaction, he was having a great time, he was confident. if he pursued a career in music he would do really well
People are so freaking amazing!!! This is the pure joy God must take pleasure in when He marvels at His creation. As opposed to how it must break His heart when corruption brings evil down around us.
It's a shame that talented artists, like these two guys, have to live a meager existence, earning very little money. While the world is in desperate need of these beautiful souls. Please people always support artist in any form, don't turn your back on them, we need them and they deserve our support.
I agree somewhat but there is a lot to say about "paying your dues" too. Anything really good in life that is worth having, is so much better if it is earned. And just because someone is a busker, doesn't mean that they don't have a "day" job!! I was a nanny and I made $25.00 per hour. But where I lived was a lot cheaper than New York!!
@@guitaro5000 I can't believe I missed this. I was at Union Square that day of the parade but was there like around 10-12:30am. What time were you there until??? Hope to see more of the vid of the other singers who sang with you during the Halloween Parade. :)
@@MissHitAllTheTime We stopped exactly at 10pm. I tried to film in Times Square during the day, but we kept getting shut down for hours and didn't even have one guest to film. I didn't know about the parade. By the 4th hour, I just decided to Union sq because at the very least I'd find characters there. Next time I'm going to apply for a filming and amplification permit so I can actually announce my location.
@@guitaro5000 u gotta do this again next year. Looks like a lot of people love the performance of you playing the guitar and then especially if someone that could sing volunteer to sing which is nice...and then the crowd was lit too. Yea, everyone you saw there were from the parade each year it's normal for them to stop by the parade and hang out there until it's time for them to go home. The parade usually ends around Union SQ 14-17th st area on 6th Ave so Union SQ is not a far walk for most of them end up also
Going to Union SQ to meet up with their friends because depending on how many people some of them lose their friends in the parade 😂 so it's easiest and best spot to meet up with them there...
this illustrates how many talented folks are out there that we don't know about. he did this w/o fancy studio equipment or retakes/dubbing etc. how inspiring!
Thank you for posting this kind remark. I love this guy, great voice. I am a 72 year old mother to three, grandmother to one (college student) and music fan for life. I spend a lot of time seeing live bands where I live in Northern California. I was one of the thousands of kids who ran away from home (cow town in NY State) and I came to San Francisco to join the Hippies. All my kids love it here and all still live in the SF Bay Area, and Santa Cruz Area. There is so much music in the entire area. Festivals all summer into the fall.
His voice is effortless and beautiful my God can he can sing those high notes with such clarity and emotion. Love his voice what a stunning performance. Someone should sign him.
I think he is too sensitive for the discipline required to last in the cold music world. He is better off doing his amazing singing separately from money. OK ? -_- ( the last OK bit was a joke )
This song is literally taking me back 40yrs to when I took my fiance' for granted, and I had absolutely no idea how much she loved me (because I was so self-absorbed & stupid). Every word of this beautifully sung song fills me with regret over the many choices I've made in my 72yrs. So, if anyone knows an English lady called Judith Home who is 71 & may live in Canmore, Alberta, Canada please tell her that I have always loved her and wish her well. Please show her this so that she may contact me if she wants to. Willie Nelson sang "You were always on my mind". This song brings back the same memories.
While I was listening to this I thought my spouse of 36 years really needed to listen to this as he has now lost any love I had for him due to his narcissistic ways and me just realizing he is a narc. I am glad you have recognized your errors of the past.
The more of these I watch, the better I feel. This is going to be my new go to channel for when I need to regain my faith in humanity. Reggie has a gift for getting so much talent out of these people. ELI! You were amazing. I really hope I get to hear you sing again in another venue.
That the performance wasn’t perfect; he lost his way a couple of times, yet still kept it together, shows what a real performer Eli is. That was really something special. I will now rewind and listen again!
Just checked his IG. Dude’s range is so amazing he can do Bruno Mars and Sam Smith which is really hard for me even tho I can carry a tune haha! He is now a cruise singer and I think this video helped him got discovered.
I love the level of confidence to stand and sing that song specifically in a dress! You have great tone and amazing control over all your notes. I was blown away by how you do sound a bit like Bruno Mars, But I think you have the kind of vocal tones that could really kill it with any song. Keep rollin Eli, we all here for it! Hugs to you and Reggie. And stay safe.
That's a brilliant singing. Gitaro5000, you're doing a great service to performers and audience alike. May you live long, healthy, welthy and happy life.
I hope Eli Thomas does well with his career. His voice is amazing, hitting all the highs & the reception from his audience shows his potential as a star.
Same! Unfortunately too often kids don’t appreciate the talent or skill lol I sing for my son and he interrupts me and asks if he can watch power rangers on my phone 😂😂😭
You are so talented in your voice. I hope your career takes you to another dimension. May God always keep you in His Blessings. I hope you could find a way to letting us hear your voice again!❤🙏🏻🥰
Elie Thomas, I am cheering you all the way from Tanzania. Thank you for this piece of joy you offered. I hope you get to live your dreams. True, pure talent. 💙💜❤️
What a lovely gesture from the guitar man in bringing all the walks of life together in having them sing! It looked like everyone were having a great night out! FABULOUS!
Guitaro, I love it when people are excited, clearly nervous, and feeling just a bit apprehensive but in the moment risk showing any type of vulnerability. It is truly a beautiful thing to witness that emotion that fills them, or rather witness them releasing that which fills and over flows them when they sing, play music, dance, paint, or in whatever form their creativity takes. In Eli Thomas case, singing was his way of expressing his joy filled heart. It was real, raw, and you both made it memorable, Thank you. And I wish him the blessings of opportunity to share that joy with others.
Oh my! He is incredible! A star is…….found. That’s half the battle. And of course the guitar is incredible as always. Reggie doing us all a solid with his incredible personality and channel. Thank you so much! I love what you do. Most importantly, I love the people and personalities you introduce us to.
This was fantastic!! I like Eli. I Hope he makes it in the entertainment field. Fun, talented, unafraid to mess up, he just rolls with it, knows his talent without being big headed
Eli bravo my dear. I’m from Michigan So I understand the barriers you were faced with back there. I live in California now but it took me fifty years, a divorce and a diagnosis to make me realize that I needed to go. Go find my own new life in a new place. So I applaud you for being so BRAVE and confident as to move to NYC to start your new life as a performer. YOU are far more talented than I ever dreamed of being. Clearly entertainment is your VIBE WELL DONE my dear Light up the stage on Broadway and fulfill your dreams. Wow you are amazing. Thanks for performing with Reggie He’s great as well. All the best you you both. (I never heard that BrunoMars song before Now I love it 🥰) and I love you ❤️ Thankyousomuch
he made me feel like I was watching some x-factor or American idol audition lol he's really good, and I know he didn't give his full potential, imagine if he gives the %100, a born artist!
Ohh Eli and Reggie, I can hardly type for the big tears in my eyes! Your music moved me. Eli I loved how you showed courage yet you twisted your costume from being nervous. I loved how you responded when you didn't have the lyrics and yet your improvisation was perfect. Your vulnerability was some of the charm but your raw talent is evident. You need to come to Hollywood.
I’m always just amazed that this raw talent is just walking around and stumble across you. .. like what? He sounds better than most who have record deals. Amazing
Eli Thomas is so uplifting he as a lovely personality shines through with fantastic vocals and a great performer, knows how to connect easily to everyone else thank you for this, made the end of great day😄💞
Thank you for doing what you do! I'm a 51 year old single mom who has almost finished raising them lol, and I'm tired. Tonight was one of my normal nights where I couldn't sleep and I ran across this video. It brought me joy. You did! I mean, like it changed my whole entire vibe listening to you play and Eli sing. I found myself dancing in my chair and just soaking it all in. Music soothes the soul and brings souls together like nothing else out there. God bless and I look forward to hanging with you a lot more through your videos 😊 Btw, not flirting I swear ( lol, you could be my kid lol) but you have the most awesome smile!! It just lights up everything around you. Don't let go of that joy ever!!
I just keep watching this. It's not only the incredible singing and playing. It's the whole feel of the evening: the costumes, the crowd, the interaction, Eli messing up the lyrics but who cares when he's that good. It's such a cool snapshot of life in a big city, with diversity and interaction and Reggie giving people a chance to shine or screw up or just have fun. Thanks Reggie!
He's even more emotional than Mars in delivering the song......lovely? Sure. Lovelier....YES. It made me breathless listening to every line savored it as if I was young. Eli, thank you huge for joining Reggie's awesome act. God bless you abundantly.
The ending of the video sure looked like a great time. So much joy and happiness going on! Sure seems like it follows you where ever you go. Keep up the good work, thank you.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
One things for sure … the diversity in people, their talents and interests are teaching us in a louder and louder voice … that you can NEVER judge a book by its cover … just let people be who they are and enjoy the moment ♥️
Great song and it was sung so well... Even on the parts that weren't remembered! :) Great guitar skill too! Ty for bringing people to the mic... I love seeing everybody and anybody belt out those tunes... They always seem so refreshed and happier after the song is done!
That was a better performance than 50 per-cent of signed artists that I have seen live. The talent is definitely there and the personality and Leadership at the microphone was really natural and great!
OMG: i clapped at the end, and smiled the entire way thru this video. Ely is a wonderful singer with a great personality. Well done once again Guitaro5k, from London UK

That was beautiful! 5:27
Eli can definitely sing. It's not an easy song to sing and he nailed it imho.
Listen to: Ian stratis when I was your man - at the show your face sounds familiar in Greece.

Amazing
Fantastico..veramente ❤👏
That's my FAVOURITE. His voice , sensitivity and humour are so lovable.❤❤❤

When he nonchalantly picked that song, I knew Doris was bringing the heat
Yes and no rehearsals to prepare for those street performances. I think he did great!
those runs was crazy good man 😍😍😍😍
🔥🔥🔥
It was insanely awesome!!
This dude is not just an amazing musician. He really knows how to connect with people and make then fill calm. This is also a great leader’s skill.
That was beautiful. What high notes!! You sure find some powerful singers!!!
Amazing opportunity for folks to shine love these💙💙🧡🧡💙💙
Not manney can sing ? But thouse who can jump at the chance 💯

This is the reason I watch. You never know who is gonna show up and SHOW OUT! 👏 👍

I love his voice. He needs to be in the studio making money.
I think he is too sensitive for the discipline required to last in the cold music world. He is better off doing his amazing singing separately from money. OK ? -_- ( the last OK bit was a joke )

It's such a cool snapshot of life in a big city, with diversity and interaction and Reggie giving people a chance to shine or screw up or just have fun. Thanks Reggie!
I'm back! I held off for a year cause I didn't want it to get old. Still got chills!
He's even more emotional than Mars in delivering the song......lovely? Sure. Lovelier....YES. It made me breathless listening to every line savored it as if I was young. Eli, thank you huge for joining Reggie's awesome act. God bless you abundantly.
I can listen to this guy over and over again. Love his voice.
The ending of the video sure looked like a great time. So much joy and happiness going on! Sure seems like it follows you where ever you go. Keep up the good work, thank you.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Great voice! Love the interaction between both guys and the crowd. Never judge a book by its cover.
Great song and it was sung so well... Even on the parts that weren't remembered! :) Great guitar skill too! Ty for bringing people to the mic... I love seeing everybody and anybody belt out those tunes... They always seem so refreshed and happier after the song is done!
What a voice. I hope he has a blessed life for what he is pursuing.
I love Eli, I can’t stop smiling, his confidence is awesome.
Eli, that was sick! Great entertainment, good luck with entertaining us all one day!
That was a better performance than 50 per-cent of signed artists that I have seen live. The talent is definitely there and the personality and Leadership at the microphone was really natural and great!
I love it when you asked them how they feel before and after singing😊
