    I LOVE seeing people react to David Phelps who have never heard him before. You did not disappoint. I know what you meant about feeling like the piano was competing for top billing, but I think that the way the piano was played was what allowed David to control the timing. Definitely check out his other songs. As a Christian, my favorite song that always brings a message of hope is “No More Night.” He can sing many styles of music and 10 years later he is just as good. Maybe even better. He trains and works hard to keep in top vocal form but he always gives God the glory for his very special gift.

    This concert was actually in 2001. He’s 53 now and his voice is just as amazingly fabulous. It may be time to go down a David Phelps rabbit hole. There is an infinite number of videos on RUclips from his 15 years with Gaither Vocal Band, as well as his 25 year solo career. Tons of great videos and he never disappoints (I’ve seen him twice recently in concert). If you want a recent selection from 2021, at age 52, try I Have Nothing, his Whitney cover. It will demonstrate that he has not lost one once of vocal prowess, even better in some ways. ruclips.net/video/h5b39F-9458/видео.html

      His No More Night is a jaw dropper for sure. His more recent recordings, album show a more contemporary messaging and originals as well. But his I Have Nothing rendition is the most elegant, classy version I'v ever heard. Please, please PLEASE go react to more of David Phelps. He is regarded by Whitney as one of her top tenors I understand.

    When David sing "No More Night" it brings tears to my eyes. His voice is absolutely amazing. A little notice about the piano play, Anthony Berger.. Anthony passed away a few years ago while playing piano on a cruise ship. I believe he was only 44 years old. You can go to Wikipedia and read about Anthonys struggles after being burned on his hands when a baby and his parents were told he would not be able to do much because the burns were so bad. Anthony showed them though. Also listen to David sing " Let Freedom Ring" when he was in the Gaither Vocal Band. He will set you back on your heels. In my humble opinion, there is NO singer including tenor who can top David Phelps.

    Welcome to the world of David Phelps! He's one of the greatest male vocalists--ever. There's no shortage of awesome performances of him for you to react to... We Shall Behold Him, No More Night, The Dream, I Have Nothing, Let Freedom Ring (with the Gaither Vocal Band)... those are some of the best ones, though pretty much anything is incredible. He's incredibly gifted and believes what he sings. A student and master of his own voice. I can't wait to see your reaction to his next song! Enjoy the rabbit hole. :)

David Phelps sings with such compassion, voice control and excellence (he majored in music and opera at Baylor University) that all of his songs are so compelling. Please react as soon as you can to David Phelps rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." The more you listen to his songs, you understand why people are saying that David Phelps is the best male singer out there right now.

  • @benbowman6995

    I've been listening to David Phelps sing since 1997 when the Gaither Vocal Band released their album God is Good, it was their first album with David. I was 9 years old then, and I have followed David's career closely ever since. Many people will give you songs he has done over this quarter century and they are all worth watching, but I'm going to talk about something that I appreciate about David and his artistry. He is a very gifted rearranger, and this is not just my opinion but are the words of Bill Gaither himself. The song in this video "O Holy Night" is one of David's self-professed "Favorite Christmas songs" and he sings it a lot, this performance though is one of a kind, I have never heard him sing it this way again. A few years after this around 2004 I believe, he released a solo Christmas album with this song and it's already different, fast forward a few more years another Christmas Album another version of this song, and so on until his most recent version done in 2018 where we see him change this song to a duet, change the title to "Fall on your Knees" and change the song in such a way I didn't even recognize it as "O Holy Night" for the first several months I listened to it, it just never clicked in my head what I was actually listening to was O Holy Night. But I've always appreciated David's ability to be creative and make music his own and unique not just copy the popular trend. That is why I think David Phelps is not only one of the greatest singers alive today but one of the greatest musical artist alive today.

    David is one of the best vocal talents in our lifetime. Even if you are not religious, I suggest watching more of him. All those people in the background singing are all famous gospel singers too. Every single one of them has incredible clarity and range, but they come together like a choir. If you watch enough Gaither videos, you start to recognize people individually. You also start to realize how much you can really feel something for music when the singer feels it themselves. It's truly eye opening.

Please do more from David. He is still writing and performing at the age of 50+ He recently did his own version of 'I have Nothing' a Whitney Houston smash hit....which just left me gobsmacked. He sang it in the same key too. Sending love from Australia 'liked and subscribed'
