There are lot of comments about his singing in English. I am from the US and I did not have any more trouble understanding him than I do a lot of American and English bands. So, I don't see the problem. He has a good voice, is bilingual, charismatic and irreverent enough to be a great success. Rock music thrives on spectacle. He can always work on his English pronunciation, but he already has the star power that lot of people lack.
I don't speak the language, but I can always enjoy his fabulous voice because he's so expressive and just good. That being said, I always appreciate when he sings in English because I can google translate Italian lyrics to know what he's saying, but its not the same as understanding the song as I hear it, if that makes any sense.
this was actually 2017, so it's been a while and you might want to check his pronunciation in more recent songs, like I wanna be your slave. But in any case I heard him say in an interview that originally, as a singer, he started from soul, and raggae, and in particular with raggae he'd taken to trying for the Jamaican accent. I suppose it's not so strange, when I think how Hugh Laurie recorded an album of country music and completely lost the British accent for that. Also, keep in mind that Damiano David was born in 1999, so in this video he was 18. And this show was for Italian TV. So, not to be close-minded, but I entreat all pure-pronouncers to consider that maybe his English pronunciation was not precisely the priority here.
if you saw his video-diaries from the time you might change your mind. I believe they built their stage presence the hard way, with that 1-2 years experience performing on the streets. From age 15-16.
I wouldn't say he's shy in the literal sense of the word, but he has a lot of insecurities and some problems related to anxiety, that's a known fact. Especially at the beginning of his carreer.
I think more so anxious and complicated than shy. Shy indicates a sense of shame which I do not see in him so much but he does have insecurities like all of us of course.
His voice here just reminds me so much of Kurt Cobain here. I am just obsessed with the raspy voices and I am just the happiest person when I find new bands like this to listen to. They are probably going to become one of my top 5 bands
Then check their x factor mentor out: Manuel Agnelli, the band is called afterhours. They were one of the most important bands in the 90 ies I guess...
Okay…I’ve been on a Måneskin kick since they won Eurovision, and this is probably one of THEIR BEST performances they’ve done!!! Damiano’s got that Eddie Vedder vibe going on in the vocals. Plus singing barefoot?? Magnifico!
An unbelievable look at what true talent must posess! Damianno, my love, you are the embodiment of it, as those who walk beside you may never fully know, it's ok, for times as these, which torment all souls, FREE IS HE WHO SINGS HIS OWN SOUL TO SLEEP & is no worse for it! THANKS FOR MAKING YOUR STEPS AS CYMBALS!
Que voz por favor!!!! Nunca he sido fan de Eurovision pero la verdad que este grupo tiene todo el mérito de haberlo ganado, son unos completos rock stars 🤟
[Verse 1] I woke up to find the earth was round one day And all around the world now, things began to change Never had I ever seen the sun Rise that way above the day to greet the dawn And the earth shook beneath my feet And the storm raged through the night And I lost all that I had won Oh, but I flowed like the river [Chorus] Flow, oh-oh-oh, ooh Flow, woah-woah, ooh [Verse 2] So you think you got it all figured out All this money in the bank and women all about Well, now whatcha gonna do when your ship starts to sink? Caught in a monstrous sea and you won't be able to think Yeah, and it's there you'll learn what I know That all of this world will fade You gotta learn to let it all go Oh, and flow like the river [Chorus] Flow, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh Flow, woah-woah-oh, ooh
The guy who won is a professional opera singer, who appealed to more mainstream audience, singing the most covered, most popular hits in the history of music. The mainstream public who doesn't follow the whole XFactor show, but only joins to watch the final night, basically not knowing anything about the contestant's path during all 10-12 nights of the show, voted Maneskin out, who were No. 1 from the first night. I have nothing bad to say about the guy who won in terms of his voice - he's a stunning singer, but this is not The Voice show, but XFactor, and he had zero "X factor" for a star, he was just a great voice pushing all right buttons to appeal to the mainstream public (an opera singer singing Who Wants to Live Forever)? that's a classic and a must for everyone who wants to get the least updated member of the audience to vote for them). While Maneskin were covering contemporary artists, completely unknow to the majority of the audience above 25 years of age.
One of the thing that I cant wrap my head around is they are Gen Z. All this while I thought they were Gen Y coz they gave so much vibe as millenium. Who would have thought their age was ONLY 21 and 22 when they won Eurovision!!!!
Excellent, truly excellent indeed!!!! Extremely powerful and talented, young dare confidence + ambition will get you very high, future masters of Rock, you're winners..! And by the way, fuck accents!!! Who cares about it...???? If the lyrics where in Italian and an English was trying to sing them, then what...??! Totally irrelevant, they're ACE!!! 🤘👍❤️
Megan Markle is kinda not the prettiest looking if yano what I mean but Ethan has been graced with godlike facial features and a genuine looking smile.
Fosse rimasto su questo stile. La tua voce dava il meglio così. Sensualità, particolarità. Ora come ora mi sembrate un po’ troppo commerciali, ma spero che in futuro vi rimettiate su questa linea. Buon tutto
The giant language phylogenitically punch because hippopotamus distinctly found throughout a envious snowflake. well-off, false familiar famous bowling
I mean, If you can't understand this English, then you should start practicing bro... not every English speaker comes from an English speaking country.
I am an English native speaker, and I have been hearing it since I was born. I can not see the band growing popular outside of Italy until he is more understandable which is why I would suggest that he either learns to speak English properly, or sing in Italian. He can not even pronounce the name of their song, which is Chosen, properly as he says "chOOsen". Italians in general wont understand his singing and no-one outside of Italy will do so either, so can you see them being popular or successful without him learning English, or, singing in his native language?

Me too! I am too old to feel like this too!!! Off to Rome in December

Merci pour lui
Spanish is my first language, then Italian and then english and i had no trouble understanding
I think the real Damian David is a very shy boy. We can see he is very nervous when he stands in front of the judges, but when he performs he is king.
*Damiano

@@pirimpallopirimpalli4932 he is shy though in his private life it’s true ☝🏼 you can tell from his stories 😆

I think I'm watching the potential Eurovision winners.
Sure
Hope so. Never been a Eurovision fan, but they are fantastic and I’m going to see it because of them.
You can stop thinkn they won :)
nailed it
@@FERNSEHENTURM they won lol
He’s a true rockstar. What a voice!!!
Thank God we got a chance to revive rock and roll.
Damiano with eyeliner is a rock star but Damiano without it is my favourite. The purest thing!
J'aime sa dualité assumée.
His voice here just reminds me so much of Kurt Cobain here. I am just obsessed with the raspy voices and I am just the happiest person when I find new bands like this to listen to. They are probably going to become one of my top 5 bands

imagine them singing take me to church
that would actually be heavenly
Wow I don't think I'll survive
OMG what a great idea you have!
when I read it I was like holy shit YES!!!
I think this would be a hell of a cover!!😄🥰
That's a rare voice. Amazing 👏🏻
Okay…I’ve been on a Måneskin kick since they won Eurovision, and this is probably one of THEIR BEST performances they’ve done!!! Damiano’s got that Eddie Vedder vibe going on in the vocals. Plus singing barefoot?? Magnifico!
god his voice is so amazing
it is so beautiful to see them show more of the poetic side, which proves that they can do anything in the best way possible, not just rock
Какие же они клёвые!

Maneskin + Shawn James = perfection
Красивые какие 😍и талантливые 👍🏻
The must be reincarnated 1960s rock stars. They're so rock and roll perfect. As though they had been playing for decades.
Amazing voice!!!
Que voz por favor!!!! Nunca he sido fan de Eurovision pero la verdad que este grupo tiene todo el mérito de haberlo ganado, son unos completos rock stars 🤟
Esto es ser un verdadero artista!! Puede cantar lo que sea y sigue siendo Excelente!!
[Verse 1]
I woke up to find the earth was round one day
And all around the world now, things began to change
Never had I ever seen the sun
Rise that way above the day to greet the dawn
And the earth shook beneath my feet
And the storm raged through the night
And I lost all that I had won
Oh, but I flowed like the river
[Chorus]
Flow, oh-oh-oh, ooh
Flow, woah-woah, ooh
[Verse 2]
So you think you got it all figured out
All this money in the bank and women all about
Well, now whatcha gonna do when your ship starts to sink?
Caught in a monstrous sea and you won't be able to think
Yeah, and it's there you'll learn what I know
That all of this world will fade
You gotta learn to let it all go
Oh, and flow like the river
[Chorus]
Flow, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh
Flow, woah-woah-oh, ooh
Waoooo amamos este grupo maneskin saludos desde sud América 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪 Perú
I found this cover watching their journey thru x factor, Shawn James is one of my all time favorite artists im so happy i found this
He's just amazing!

Обожаю этот образ Вики, она в нем шикарная просто. Да и у Томаса прическа крутая, а не как обычно "люся из пятерочки".
Shawn James would love this!
Great great great.. Bravo 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎🎶👌
Shawn James performed by Maneskin

It's a talan, what a powerful voice
Alguien me puede decir donde puedo ver los demas capitulos por fa 🥹

To think that with this song and performance they would have won the ESC already... so crazy...
Fuck... what a Voice....

Solo los cantantesvse dan el lujo de gritar asi y no molestar el oido 😄
Could anyone say me whom is this song originally, please? Thank you so much!!
Shawn James
Wow. Just mf wow.
Я уплыла с тобой по этой реке
What was he like 19 yo here??
O M FG !!!
18,this show.realized in 2017 and Damiano is born I 1999,and Thomas is 16
Hope Damiano takes care of his voice! He’s amazing, but he’s a heavy smoker, which could seriously mess with his voice.
holy fuck that shit good
It is reminiscent of the beginnings of Michał Szpak
Victoria looks like Penny Lane from Almost Famous
i am here for Damiano's feet
Did anybody realize that the drummer of Maneskin looks like a lost twin sister of Meghan Markle???
Or an identical twin brother!!! He’s so pretty.
Yes,yes,yes! I cant stop thinking about it!
He also looks like Booboo Stewart from Twilight!! :)
Megan Markle is kinda not the prettiest looking if yano what I mean but Ethan has been graced with godlike facial features and a genuine looking smile.
Was it all originals they did on this show??
You mean the songs? No most are covers only "Chosen" was original :)
Who is this 4:23?
His name is Manuel Agnelli. He was Måneskin's coach in X factor. An excellent musician who recognized their talent and taught them a lot.
@@lafabias1876 thank u so much😍
La cover dei Maneskin supera di gran lunga il pezzo originale di Shawn James...
Camilla Bonanni non esageriamo. È una cover fatta bene, nulla di più c:
He can't speak English.Ma please

The singer needs to learn to either speak English properly, or, sing in Italian...
And you need to learn to shut up and appreciate talent.
They are the ch"oo"sen band :). Yes, their lead singer is charismatic, but what use is that if you can not understand 3/4 of the words he says?
I mean, If you can't understand this English, then you should start practicing bro... not every English speaker comes from an English speaking country.
I am an English native speaker, and I have been hearing it since I was born. I can not see the band growing popular outside of Italy until he is more understandable which is why I would suggest that he either learns to speak English properly, or sing in Italian.
