- My reaction to Disturbed performing The sound of silence. It was a bit of a shock to the system, to be honest. Even though I think it's good stuff. Some parts worked better for me than others. Maybe I'm too attached to the original of Simon & Garfunkel?

I'm sorry you're wrong, biased, this guy owns this song, Simon and garfunkle both said its his song now
You did the opposite of what you wanted out of this channel. Very self-destructive. I have seen so many “voice coaches” (I include you, and you may be the worst) that want the world to know how much more they know than the average human. I have been surprised by many, who blew my shallow preconceptions of them out of the water with humor, humility, openness, and helpfulness as far as technique blah blah. You were a great disappointment and I hope you sort this out for yourself, because this definitely hurts your business model.
Maybe delete and regroup?
Musical Karen in action... Surprised you kept this video up... 🤡🤡🤡🤡
*3.1 thousand THUMBS UP vs. 8.2 thousand THUMBS DOWN - This means that you don't "GET IT" !!!*
"People hearing without listening" is a perfect line for you.
Lol correct my friend.
You nailed it! This my very well be the most powerful performance I’ve ever seen
Damnit man you just made me spit out my drink. You are spot on.
could not of put it better myself
A perfect example of "hearing without listening". Bias and prejudice for the original.
You got that right…she’s IDK 😢
I have watched almost every one of these reactions to this song! This cover is a masterpiece!!! The vocals are off the charts. The musicians, AMAZING! You need to remember this is a heavy metal band and they just created a masterpiece that was no where near their genre! That alone shows how talented this band is!
Apparently she is not a real voice teacher. This version is incredible and if she really listened, she would understand that the song was written to explain the frustration that Paul Simone was feeling at that point in his life. Loneliness, depression, and frustration in people not listening to those who needed to be heard. I THINK THAT SIMONE and Garfunkels
@@marcuswomack5462 actually, you failed to address the "neon light" in this song that is supposedly the cause of all this. According to interviews, P&S was referencing to technology (the television) and the pop culture that derives from it.
I think it is not so much prejudice, but a failure to identify with or understand the feelings of rage, frustration, aggression in the music. I have fun into this before in people who are used to the very limited emotional register of earlier music and/or only the limited pop music of modern times. Also, these specific emotions are sometimes avoided or never experienced greatly for some people.
Paul Simon himself liked David's version better than his own. Mainly because it brought out the emotion that Paul was attempting to portrait but was never able to. I still love the original but this version stands on its own as a powerful and incredible version of the song.
As a coach you shouldn't be comparing David to Paul, you should be analyzing how incredible this man's voice is. No, it's not the original and it's not meant to be.
well said!
Wow. Very close minded. Sounds like you made up your mind brfore listening. "People talking without listening" you got thatright.
this goes to show you how powerful imbedded beliefs are and how limiting they are on our nature and it robbed this voice coach of the beauty of this version. It should be a reminder to all of us that our own beliefs should be challenged often.
As an artist we should appreciate all variations that are exceptional. You were already closed minded before you heard it. Talent is in all genres not just yours.
Well said
Wow. I’m pretty surprised to finally find one vocal coach that just didn’t seem to get it. The range and passion he has on the song makes this an immediate classic. While I do like Simon and Garfunkel‘s version, this version is amazing. I think you will be very hard-pressed to find any other reaction video on line thar have vocal coaches that didn’t love this version. I’m pretty surprised. Do a search for other vocal coaches analysis of his song and you’ll find some pretty amazing facts. Quit your day job if you are really a vocal coach...
She is completely clueless.
@@GaryLBlakeley agreed. I even had the chance to review this on my channel and was absolutely stunned by his performance.
@@larryshair I got to see them perform this live in concert. Goosebumps on top of goosebumps. I’ve never understood why somebody will review a cover and expect it to be exactly like the original artist. If they are a Simon and Garfunkel cover band, I expected to be a lot closer to the original but when somebody does it cover, I love to see him put their own twist on it. They did a phenomenal job. Another group that does really good revisions of songs is postmodern jukebox.
I don't know if she's truly clueless - I haven't seen enough of her reactions to form a broader opinion. But she whiffed on this one. She's too emotionally tied to the Simon & Garfunkel expression of the song to be objective. It's fine to love a performance so much that you don't want to hear and see someone else's interpretation, but then don't choose to review it for your channel - it's not an honest appraisal and never will be.
The Simon and Garfunkel version is Woosified and Weak. S&G have no ability to sing with any feeling. This so called vocal coach needs to stick with more basic material and musicians like David Cassidy and The Partridge Family.
I respect that they took the song in a new direction and made it their own. To perform it like the original would just be karaoke.
I completly agree
and Paul Simon himself gave his blessing and praise after hearing this version, so there's that...
I was highly skeptical of this cover when I first heard about it, but was surprised by how much I appreciated it for that exact reason. I thought it was done respectfully and didn't try to directly cover the original. Of course that would've required a two part harmony to be covered "correctly"
Simon & Garfunkel have endorsed this version of their song as the best version!!!
moravamanagement the original was a call to pay attention. This version is when that warning went ignored....
Paul Simon actually promoted this version on his social media. He loved it.
Paul Simon embraced this version very much.
She completely lost me.
Not sure what she specializes in but she completely lost me. Best cover ever!! I've watch over 2 dozen reactions from vocal coaches and hers is the most negative by a long shot.
This is the only cover of any of his songs that Simon ever personally endorsed. Most people (the ones that can overcome their own bias) feel that this version of the song actually captured the message more clearly. Also, most people can enjoy this version and the original. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
I read Paul Simon said the people didn’t hear the message when they did it. Now it has been sung with anger and emotion so maybe it will now be heard. True and insightful of Paul Simon. He said the song is now David’s of Disturbed.
"Hearing without listening" - has just been defined!
Maybe if you would have just listened to the whole song first instead of stopping it every 10 seconds you just might have appreciated it better and realize that this guy has one beautiful awesome voice ❤
Like Steve b, I am 67 and very familiar with and love the original. Written as a protest song for our day, this version by Disturbed significantly displays the difference between the era then and now. I love this performance by the group, it is even better than the video made for the song. It is emotional, angry, and disturbing - like the time we are living in. It speaks to my heart now as Simon and Garfunkel did decades ago.
Her response to this is disturbing! That is one of the most powerful renditions of a song I have ever heard. I cry almost every time I listen to it!
This song gives me the chills every time I listen to it
It's interesting to see someone who was not blown away by David's version. I respect for her she likes the ethereal sound of the original. I think for today's age this one is more fitting. Never thought I would like anyone else's version than S&G but I do.
I knew she would like it when she opened her mouth.
No-one’s saying she has to prefer this version but the complete disrespect she gave it from the first note was completely unacceptable. To then go on and laugh, saying that it was funny, well that says a lot more about her than it does about this version of the song. We don’t all like the same things and there’s nothing wrong with her preferring the original version, I’m sure many do, but to condemn Disturbed’s version outright before hearing more than one note just shows stupidity on her part.
Remember he did this on Conan....what song did you sing on Conan? Was it a cover that the original artist liked so much he spread it all over social media?
This cover of a TIMELESS MASTERPIECE IS A MASTERPIECE in itself ! The very first time I heard this, I had to find out who this man is ? W O W ! Not better, but not worse, just different ! I am impressed with the power and conviction in his voice ! 😮 I can't hear it enough !!! 🤗🤗🤗🥰
“people hearing without listening” this line was meant for your soulless life
I would say most vocal teachers will never be able to sing anywhere near as beautifully as David. #Ever.
Paul Simon was extremely impressed and said the song was now his.
just goes to show you that old biases are hard to get over
I think you hit it right on the head with - "It's all about taste." It's clear that you have a specific taste that you personally like/dislike. But it seems apparent to me that you went into watching this video with your personal taste and bias for the original version at the forefront, as if you were unwilling to let go of it for a moment and accept this new version as if it were the first time you were hearing the composition itself. It's also kind of (and by "kind of", I mean REALLY) insulting to see someone let alone a musician laugh at another musician as they perform and pour their vocals and emotion into their performance. While I don't agree with your opinion, the real reason this video gets a thumbs down from me is because your laughing seems smug and disrespectful. My recommendation is for your to broaden your taste especially as a "musician" and listen to things outside of your familiar circle. You might surprise yourself at what you discover and enjoy.
A real teacher would curb her bias and approach a cover with neutrality. Thus woman is hardly a teacher.
I love the original by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel I'm 60 years old I was around when that came out it's always been my favorite I've heard this one by Disturbed and it has the way he sings it it's more powerful it's reaching the generation now because when the original one came out back in 67 who would have thought that now all these years later we're actually living in the world of The Sound of Silence nobody's really communicating nobody's connecting there's no emotional connection with people nowadays it made me so happy to find out that Paul Simon who wrote this Lowe's cover that Disturbed with it even has it on his playlist that says a lot coming from the original singer and songwriter of this song it's so amazing it gives me goosebumps and makes me cry because it's so emotional and he has that powerful strong voice maybe I'm just like that because eclectic I love all kinds of music no matter what it is I love music
I was shocked she couldn't see the beauty in this version..I'd never hire this bias coach
So many comments calling her professionalism into question. It's her opinion. It's refreshing to see an honest opinion that is expressed even though it might cost a few viewers.
Thanks for reviewing this. It's a favorite of mine and he's an incredibly powerful singer. I encourage you to research him (David Draiman) and his background/training.
She was pissing me off. She's too critical. He has an amazing voice.
Hi, I really enjoyed watching you trying to take this in. I get that it’s a huge shock. If you search his name and the title yeah I think it will take you to a video or reading about why this song came to him and why he recorded it and what it did to him. What I’ve seen a lot of people say about this is Simon and Garfunkel put out this plea in a peaceful beautiful way. And David has brought it back in this way because it seems like no one listened or got it. And by the way, just ignore the nasty comments. My initial music training was classical so I really understand what a stretch this is. But rethinking that just a bit might make for a different hearing and understanding.
Music is very personal, I like both the original and this version by David, having said that, I find Disturbed version creates a better vision in my mind 🎵🎼🎹
This is a classically trained vocalist, who has amazing range and control. The orchestral arrangement is wonderful. Shame on you, for having such a closed mind. The message was so much more powerful this way
I love the original version a whole heck of a lot. When I heard this version it spoke to me on a completely different level, it reached emotions the other did not. For you to "react" to this in the way you did shows you were not interested in giving it a chance. You stopped it repeatedly instead of allowing yourself to be immersed by the words and music. You failed with this video as is evident by all the comments. Music is about emotion and you refused to allow any because it would alter your preconceived opinion.
I think you missed the depth and intention of this song entirely! This is a warning to humanity.
Simon and Garfunkel that did the song gave them permission to make the cover and they like to cover themselves really well saying that's how they actually put the feelings and stuff in here in it they wanted to put in back then but they were not allowed
On the one hand, it's extremely refreshing that you just tell your truth. Great to see. My truth is decidedly different - I consider this cover to be high art from conception to mastering. Think about the imagination that went into deciding to to this masterpiece this way. Add in the relevance of the anger and passion to these troubled times. Wow.
Bob Walters no
It was mentioned on another reaction video that auto tune was used on his voice. Some fans said this was true and that he didn't appreciate it. It was on another voice teacher reaction video btw.
@@casey10bb this was a choice made by the team on the conan show and not David, he wasn't happy about it.
@TheHellboy561 Yes, I know, but thanks I don't understand why the show made that decision. I see no reason for them to do that. He has such a powerful voice.
@@casey10bb agreed, his voice is brilliant!
He was singing live with an extremely bad head cold! Which makes his performance that much More exceptional!
its amazing how much people know about music that came out before they were born
Honey he is a trained cantor and this version was approved by Simon/Garfunkel
He is a rock singer. Maybe not your preference but his talent and gift is undeniable.
Maybe a perfect example of “listening without hearing”
Paul Simon, himself, said that he really enjoyed this version of the song
Here is how to think of the two versions, Simon and Garfunkel was a warning of the way society was going from back in the day, this song decades later is the response to no one listening to the warning.
you just need more rock and roll in your life and you will find the best singers ever 🤟🏻
In case you haven’t heard yet…Simon LOVED it…
Both versions are great. Sure, I'm biased toward the original that I loved since I was a little kid. But my natural comfortable singing voice is more of a low baritone, so I'm biased toward that, too. I'd love to hear the Disturbed version with harmonization added.
In the 60s the warning - this is the outcry and anger now. His official yt video is so rich...
When Simon told him directly that’s his song now, shows you how wrong you are.
He was actually sick when he performed this… Amazing
Everyone has the right to their own opinion! If people don't like it, that's their problem! It might sound dumb but I can't stand when anyone covers "Sweet Child o' Mine" and changes it! That song is special to me.
Me too, with "Sweet Child"! I understand how Linor feels. I love both versions--also the newer one by Pentatonix.
You enjoyed Dimash performance at a talent show, literally singing completely just to show off "for the show" without really communicating a single emotion through his performance, just technical virtuoso skills. Literally one of the most empty scenarios when it comes to artistry, while in the other hand you have one of the most soulful interpretations of one of the most beautiful songs ever made. And still you have the face to say that "it's pop for the show, it's ok if you are into that" and then comparing it to another "pop" phenomenon which is game of thrones, one of the most critical acclaimed audiovisual piece of art ever created (at least the first 4 seasons). This is a masterclass of how you can mess something so bad that you couldn't make it worse, AND THEN you mess it even further. I hope that no real artist have ever cross you as a guide into music, your comprehension of art is as obnoxious as you can get.
if Simon &Garfunkel was a caterpillar, this is a butterfly
I really like this version and I was prepared not to. I think I am the only one in the universe who never cared for the original.
Being biased has hindered your appreciation of the cover. When Simon and Garfunkel appreciate the cover, and you seem not to, you are on your own. This is one of the best covers ever, particularly to such an iconic song.
Listen lady you bout the only one who had negative comments on Disturbed version. He was trained classically as a singer his range and voice is just out of this world. Almost angelic if you will. You need to open your mind and get out that slump your in
This is a true masterclass on "how to loose the respect of 90% of your subscribers with only one video reaction"
No, it's Cantor. Notice the title is different from the original. The sound of silence, not the sounds of silence. Plus, he sings heavy metal!
Thank you guys for making sure I don’t waste my time watching this reading from the comments, hope others see mine and heed the same warning.
Hey people. Everyone is so quick to pile on and find fault with another persons opinion. If her analysis displeases you, go somewhere else. She stated all the qualifiers as to why she felt the way she did. So who really is not listening?
This isn't the 60s anymore.
David brought this song into the present perfectly.
The fact that you can't accept it is really disappointing because David can grab your Soul shake it up and gently let it down into the present.
Exactly as He attempted.
I am literally SHOCK and STUNNED that you didn't lose ALL of your subscribers for this. DISGUSTING.
She needs to ask Paul what he thinks.
Watching this made my blood boil.
This woman has to be the only one in the world that isn't in astonishment of Disturbed's version of this song. Growing up with Simon and Garfunkel's music I had my own bias ideas. But after listening to this and relistening to it. I can say without a doubt I like Disturbed's better. It's powerful delivery and message brings tears to my eyes. Something Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's doesn't and I do love the original. This woman has to be truly clueless to not be able to appreciate this song.
I can't believe she calls herself a voice teacher when she's obviously missing everything in this performance.
Everyone has their opinion and is entitled to it and to voice it. So here is mine. David is one of the all time 100 best vocalists of all time. I've watched hundreds of these reaction videos. Your is the first one to not find it phenomenal! Did you know that upon hearing Disturbed's cover of the song he wrote in the 1960's that Paul Simon called David and said " The song now belongs to Disturbed! It's yours!" ? So..... I'll just leave it at that.
The best cover done so far but sorry to say that u could not appreciate it....i dont know how you could be a vocal coach coz as far as i know all vocal coach reacted to this cover with 👏👏
It's sad that as a voice teacher, she can't break free from the her bias and truly appreciate how wonderful this cover is and how it stands on its own from the original. Even Simon and Garfunkel loved the cover and directly contacted David to congratulate him. One of the most common comments I've seen about it is how much impactful the lyrics are in this version and how they never truly paid much attention to them until the heard this cover. Both versions are unique and beautiful in their own right. Personally, I prefer this version. The musical arrengement alone is beyond majestic.
Also, and I can't stress this enough: DAVID IS NOT A POP SINGER!!!! Blasphemy!!!
She seems clueless.
@@bobmarkel3327 Seems like she was looking for Karaoke version.
She is not much of a voice teacher. Learn to listen!
Yeah I had to keep pausing the video when she'd go off on her lil inane babblings about it. Like, are we listening to the same song? Are you really THAT childish that you can't get beyond your love of the original? And her technical critique? yike. my HS chorus teacher was more proficient than she seems to be.
This is quite annoying and I’m being extremely polite. My granddaughter has more musical knowledge at age 11 😖
I’ve watched hundreds of other vocal teachers, opera singers, musicians, and other professionals react and they were all in awe of this performance, his vocal skills, etc. This is the oddest response I have ever run across. Are you sure you’re a vocal instructor?
I have watched almost every one of these reactions and her by far was the worst!!!! BY FAR! She is closed minded and has tunnel vision for the original. How can you NOT FEEL the power that exudes from this band! This version is and has so much more meaning to it than the original. David took it to a new level. I am out I cannot even finish this reaction!
I agree. Is she sure she's a singer? Obviously not a very good one and does not appreciate an awesome awesome cover of an awesome awesome song. I'm sorry my dear but you are so so wrong
I concur. Is she cold of heart and maybe deaf?
It doesn't help she was pausing every 10 seconds, and during vocals. At least have the respect to wait for a break before pausing so you aren't interrupting the song.
I think she was my voice teacher…. I decided to become an English major. Pompous ass.
As a voice teacher the acknowledgement of his vocal control and range should be expected. As well as his obvious classical training. Not to mention the masterful build up of the song.
I'm thinking that you might be a little jealous that a hard core rock singer is able to make such a masterful performance look so easy...
I would hate to hear what you have to say about evanescence
I agree.
Lol
Sweetie you're missing a lot here.
David is absolutely amazing delivering this message. Beautiful voice, powerful message. The two belong together.
After all of the reactions to this song I’ve watched , I’ve finally found the one with no soul!! You literally need to check your pulse...☠️
800 MILLION people love this cover... And then, there's you, huh...
At 62 years old, I've been listening to the Simon and Garfunkel version since it's release. I was lucky enough to have just happened to tuned into Conan the night of this performance. While I have always loved the original, I literally was in tears after this performance, I can not never say the same about the original.
This version brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it... and that's being said after listening to nine other vocalists and vocal coaches react to it today.
So true
Really true. Same as me.
Dale, it has been quite a long while since there release of Sound of Silence and still almost every time I hear it I have that same powerful emotional response ride up in my chest, I know exactly what you mean
The original never came close to getting across the message as the lyrics like this version.
Regardless of what you may think of this version, wrap your biased mind around this, Paul Simon said that not only does he endorse Disturbed's rendition but went further to state that their version, not cover, is his favorite version because David Draiman truly captures the full meaning and emotion of the song as Simon had originally intended.
For a professional, she's having an awful hard time finding the imagination-space in her head to analyze an adaptation. Um... does she never put her own touch on pre-existing songs when she performs?
If anything, I prefer this version to the original
Agree
She is so so biased.
@@inspacem Plus she is unable to achieve the same vocal 'fry' without choking!
And a lot of people won’t like her version this type of music and the growl isn’t everybodies cup of tea. She said she didn’t like that and it’s fine 🤷🏽♂️
His voice is fantastic. I can’t believe that you don’t like the performance!
You couldn't ruin this perfection if you tried any harder. Literally the only person who can't realize how amazing this cover is, smh!
I kind of understand the "whoa, this is different" reaction. I really liked the Simon and Garfunkel version, but it never really resonated with me emotionally.
The version performed by disturbed, however, punched me in the soul.
That's the difference, I think. This version carries a weight and impact that the more (as you put it) intimate original version didn't have. The message is the same, but the delivery carries with it so much more gravity.
Give it another listen (if you would like, of course) and you may find an explanation for that emotion that you couldn't quite put your finger on.
I heard the original. I deeply felt this version.
Way late but this is exactly how I felt after hearing Disturbed's version. The original had no soul and the message was lost, but like you mentioned, Draiman delivered a gut punch that felt prophetic, given the time. And anyone who doesn't know what's going on at 4:44 doesn't deserve to be call a 'voice teacher' at all.
Shes just nuts. Nobody else had her crazy reaction
I am a big fan of the original...but I must say..every time I listen to this version it give me goosebumps...very very good.
What’s interesting is Paul Simon himself stated how incredibly well David did this cover, and even posted this version to his social media outlets...
Definitely didn’t ruin it for me. David is incredible. Best interpretation of a song I’ve ever heard.
You are the only singer who wasn't amazed by the performance. We all feel the lyrics better with this version. It brings our the meaning more. Listen to the original video. It was very well done with the visuals. It got most of us emotional. It was brilliant how he kept building it up then eased back down
"It taps into a specific niche" - You weren't able to shed your bias on this one. This song is ~wildly~ popular, across multiple genres. As is often commented, the original was presented as a prophetic warning of sorts, while Disturbed has returned with the song as a sort of battle cry against the warning having been ignored.
Richard Reid ,as I have mentioned in past comments I'm not personally aquainted with either Paul Simon or Art Garfunkel that I could definitively speak on precisely what meaning they intended to convey to listeners as the lyrics were being written to sound of silence. However, I really think that your observation that the original was evoked and sung with heavy overtones of the prophetic while the arrangement by disturbed was something akin to a battlecry or ,if I may offer , a despairing rant ,at an entire generation of souls that failed to heed the warning implicit in the first prophetic offering is as insightful as it gets . A distinction that I've only heard mentioned for the first time by you. Thank you for that keen insight.
This was the best cover I've heard in my lifetime. Sad that you couldn't appreciate it.
Best cover ever,better than the original
Foreallllll!!!!!! Disrespectful!! Lol
Simon himself sent a msg to them, stated that their rendition made him cry and moved him. It's on RUclips. I trust them both.
Well old habits die hard and nostalgia is never dies and only gets stronger the older you get. You would't appreciate some thing in the future too. I can 100% guarantee it. Its inevitable 😒
I am 57 and love Paul Simon as well. His version was perfect for the time when he wrote it. Kind of silly and poppy.
Disturbs version took a magnificent song to the next level. It gave emotion and seriousness to words that are serious.
The fact that your reaction was to laugh and barely stop short of mocking David, says a lot about you, your bias and lack of ability to review and intelligently reactive to, what most people feel, is a very powerful performance. Congrats!
I'm not convinced that this version would have flown when the original came out.
The world needed to grow up a little, first.
I've said this exact same thing on other videos... As good as S&G original was/is... Disturbed absolutely did justice and took a great original to an over the top very rare cover story! I also watched alot of interviews with David and he's very straight forward, Honest and Humbled individual IMHO. I'm very disappointed in Linor's reaction even tho everyone is entitled to their own opinion... She's not a very good musical analyst if she cannot appreciate this take.
Wow, You totally missed this song and the performer's artistry. Lower, deep chest, relaxed baritone beginning. His haunting/ emotion filled sound while keeping the music to just a piano. His smoothness in transitioning from an e to an a then putting a fry on top of his voice. The addition of layers of strings and drums. Did you know he had the flu during this performance? With over 30 years of running sound board in studio and live performance, the amount of effects in this performance is minimal. The mixing of instillments was masterfully done by the sound engineers. It may not be your style of music but you can not downplay the quality of his version. A little FYI, When Disturb released The Sound of Silence, Paul Simon linked it on all his social media platforms.
"The mixing of instrumentals was masterfully done by the sound engineers." I agree to a point, the guitar is almost non-existent, stuck way in the back ground. In the studio verision when it comes in at the 2nd verse it is in the forefront and is pronounced the rest of the song. I miss that in the live version.
When you have "Voice teacher" in the title, you create the expectation that we will get an educated comment on his performance, not a comparison to the original song. You knew your feelings of the song before you started it...You never had an open mind to this. He didn't have a chance. I'm not a big Disturbed fan, but this is a good version. Its a great vocal performance
This woman is ridiculous. Shut up and listen! Wow. This man did an amazing job.
don't be a dick
Dear Lord, just listen to the friggin song!
I didnt even finish watching her reaction.
This might be the best version of the sound of silence
@@ionsp3ctra127 Agreed. Hands down
The sound from his voice was not for show, this is his sound. Listen to some of Disturbed's other songs. This song is widely hailed as one of the greatest covers of all time.
This cover is easily one of the top 5 covers in the history of music. It's a beautiful, modern reminder of what this song is all about. Not sure what you are after here. Weird.
To each her own, but it seems you are missing the point of this version. SILENCE won.
The niche it taps into is everybody on the damn planet...and while I do love the original, this is a superior version.
I think you weren't leaving room to enjoy his version of this classic & incredibly meaningful song. This meant a lot to him to recreate and pay homage to the original. S&G were impressed and honored by this cover of their song. It's incredibly powerful & pertains greatly to current times, despite the age of this song. I get it...being bias for the musical artists we love and are loyal to. It's ok to enjoy other artists renditions of music we love...after doing so, take it or leave it. I hope you watched it again to really allow yourself to absorb it and enjoy it for the beautiful rendition that it is~ PS...btw, this man had developed the flu the day of this performance and sang this with a fever. He was even disappointed in his performance (could've been better, he thought) even though it was incredible, despite him not being well.That is determination and commitment~
She would LOVE Karaoke Night... "Wow, you sound just like Elvis! Perfect!"🤣🤣🤣
I understand everyone has there own opinions and preferences, but when you cannot listen for a moment and let go for a moment. Let go of the original for just a moment and listen to his amazing voice and the message that was originally told is now not just a quiet warning. Disturbed made people listen and perhaps wake up to what is happening all around us. I love watching reactions to this cover and I am sad to say I have never given a dislike until now. This reaction did nothing for me and was very negative.
I am old enough to have been alive and heard the original when it was released. Disturbed version of this song is magnificent, and I believe better than the original, and it is extremely rare when a cover version is better than the original. S&G version sounds prayer like, this version comes across as the warning the lyrics intended.
I completely agree. The raw emotion comes out much better in this version.
Or "I will Always love you" which Whitney Houston covered from Dolly Parton.
Simon (I believe it was him) even said Disturbed did a better version of their own song. The highest of compliments
Like you I am old enough to have been there for the original by Simon & Garfunkel. I love S&G. But this version is more powerful, maybe the best cover of any song ever covered.
I'm 66 years old and quite familiar with the original by Simon and Garfunkel. With that being said, I really like Disturbs version of this song as well.
me not tbh. i don't like how overblown it is
@@kalkwiese
What may be overblown to one maybe epic to another. I don't think neither one of us are wrong. Simply a matter of taste. Regards!
@@stevebuckskinner5482
Of course it is, very true!
One thing that makes me sad is that people shit on Linor, because her reception was just lukewarm. That's so stupid.
@@kalkwiese
Agreed!
I love Linor! Her opinion and taste is every bit as valid as anyone else's. I have no problem with her take on this version of the song. For some people, certain songs, movies or plays are better left alone. I think we all have that opinion when it comes to certain forms of the performing arts.
I'm 63 & like you quite familiar with the original. I have a Pal who owns a downtown 'joint'. Very diverse clientele. I lunch there a few times a week. When the lunch crowd moves on and the place gets back to being a joint I'll play 'this' on the jukebox cranked up. More than once I've seen 'it' put a dew drop on the cheeks of a few tough guys.
I don’t know what your hearing but Simon n Garfunkel can’t hold a tune to this dude! Amazing voice
Look at the world around us now, that song has been warning us for fifty something years. We haven't listened or heard.
Paul Simon really liked this version.
Paul Simon endorse them
Summary of this video:

99.9% Listening to your opinion that this song "is not for you"
Come on now, I'm not saying the song is the greatest of all time but I can read the comment section if I just want to see someone say "I didn't enjoy it"...do better...that's my critique 😀👍🏻
She likes/loves the Original. Did you not hear that?
@@donnilloyd1355 So this reaction was about the original? Of course, how could I forget?
I agree with you. She didn't really give any reasoning as to why she didn't like it other than she prefers the original. Preferring the original is fine, but she barely analyzed his vocal performance. His technique was solid, but not her style -- which again, is fine, but I feel like she could have been a lot more objective.
@@Ender4212, no it wasn't. Obviously my message was misconstrued. No bad feelings intended.
I love disturb but this one is autotune 😊 peace
Sad when a teacher can’t get passed her own bias.
Why is that sad? It's a honest first reaction and she gave good feedback on his vocal. When a song is close to you and you hear a complete other verse of it, that brings some intern conflict. I wish more reactors were this honest about it, as most reactors seems to say what the fans want to hear
If that’s the case, nobody should teach
Disturbed version is better than the original. Maybe I’m a little bias because I love Disturbed.
A teacher should be open minded to each person being different, I thought she was being very biased, wouldn't pay her to help someone sing with that attitude! She even admitted she was biased, sad! This review sucked! Disliked!
*past
Such a weird way for her to interpret this version. Beautifully sung and she can't seem to get over herself to enjoy it.
Of all the reactions to this song I’ve watched, this is hands down the worst one. I’ll keep it short: when the original composer of this song gives a standing ovation with tears in his eyes to this version, you KNOW that it was an incredible cover.
Is there a video of this?
The original composer did not, however, do anything you described. So, sit down.
Agreed. The worst
@@jeffreyk4237 someone keeps deleting/reporting my responses. But heres the thing, I know you got them via email. so go fuck yourself.
This particular rendition just wasn't doing it for me either. Music is like food and while there are objective qualities to be commented on, and popular opinion is relevant in many ways, at the end of the day the subjective experience of how the music feels or how the food tastes is primary to all of us. Everyone has their own experience of this, of course, and we should all remind ourselves of this. I doubt this singer himself would take any personal offense to her interpretation, like a great chef isn't going to mind if one person doesn't prefer his dish. It doesn't make that person wrong or offensive in any way, especially when they are so polite and diplomatic about stating the opinions that you've essentially asked for.
