This guy looks like one of those teachers everyone loves
Edit: glad so many agree
Arlind Sejdiu that’s the exact thought I had haha
Sounds like a kiss ass who'd praise anyone. I bet he has a stock of participation medals in his desk.
More like cpt. Pike from Star Trek movies. Just few years older :)
Kinda looks like he could be Stephen Kings brother.
He reminds me a lot of my Algebra II teacher back in high school, who happened to be one of those teachers everyone loves
You know he is a real teacher because he didn't move the mouse after hitting play😂
😂
Lmao true
Sooooooooo legit, the times we had to riot for a teacher to press F11 is rediculous!
You know you are a RUclipsr when you make reaction videos when they are really scripted reviews. I love when people lie by claiming something too many times forced by guilt ("I've never listen to this before" 3 times before the first note) :)
@@fredbegin3850 i had a stroke trying to read that
When Paul Simon first heard this version he said, "This is the way it should be sung".. High praise indeed.
That's such a perfect statement from him. David's performance really captures that feeling the words are trying to convey. I love the original, but Disturbed's version really hits it home.
Paul Simon told him that he 'owns this song' now , i watched a interview with david awhile back, thats about as high praise you can get.
@@antonytheolddog8626 same with Hurt by Nine Inch Nails. Johnny Cash did the cover and now the lead of NIN says that its Johnny's 100%.
@@yourstalker7386 Yep. Cash really made that song his own. With good reason.
I always wondered what Paul Simon thought of it. Thank you for sharing!!
There are millions of songs that the human race has composed and performed over thousands of years of music.
There are a rare few that give people a certain reaction, you get goosebumps and your hair stands on end, some even bring people to tears either because of the message the song holds or just because you realise you are listening to something extremely special.
This is most definitely one of those songs.
Fun fact: Disturbed wanted to cover this for YEARS, but held out until they were confident they could do it justice. I'm happy you could hear their reverence for the song.
The amazing arrangement did gorgeous justice to David Draimans voice!! First time I listened, the tears rolled!! I've had a few songs affect me like that. Just phenomenal. Of course, I'm a huge fan too!
On a side note: It's been a while since I've seen "reverence" spelled correctly. Props to you!
They would be the only band to be able to disturb the sound of silence...
Also, most people don't realize that David was classically trained as an opera singer.
natkatmac fun fact Disturbed blew the original into the weeds
People love to write off metal as just noise, but metal artists are so incredibly talented. So many are classically trained and complete music nerds! That's one of the reasons I love the genre so much. I introduced my professional opera singer mother to heavy metal when I was a kid and she became obsessed and eventually was the one to teach me all the ways it's similar to classical and operatic music. Now my mom is Disturbed's biggest fan and I loved watching this video because your reactions reminded me so much of my mom's first impressions when hearing them for the first time. It's always such a joy to see the artistry celebrated like this!
I was wrong in my judgement. I’m an old man that was blindsided by how good this song was.
@@bishopchalik8561 brother we all were
Whats your fav song from disturbed?
@@Alexandra-ek7kh symphonic metal 😉
@@Alexandra-ek7kh this like a million times! Classic was f*cking Metal! :D
Every time I hear Disturb's version of this piece, I end up in tears.
You're not alone....
Me too. Grew up with the original, and Dave's version is just fabulous. The words don't come from his mouth, they come from his heart, and you feel every one of them. I love Disturbed's music. It's a real treat to hear Dave's "church voice". I wish they'd play it on the radio more often.
@@annehenry6243 you mean synagogue voice? ;p
@@thomashollingsworth9048 oh yea, duh! What I meant to say was, "CHOIR voice". It was late, I was sleepy, my bad!!😜
Such an emotional song and he nailed it
David's voice gives me goosebumps!...amazing!
The absolute joy on this man's face was so beautiful and wonderful. He looked so happy and surprised it made me smile
I kinda had a tearful smile. It's a like a return to innocence for him despite having seen plenty in his lifetime.
He’ll yeah!!! I felt the same way!!! Soooooooo much joy and happiness!
SAME!!!
**Casually mentions Queensrÿche**
You've earned a new sub, good sir.
I know Simon and Garfunkel sang “Sound Of Silence” when I was a teenager. I heard this fellow here I think it was in the 90s.This guy from Disturbed takes it to a whole new level!!!
It’s crazy to see how someone who sings in a metal band can go back to something like this and totally pull it off as amazing as he did here, the amount of control it takes for something like this is unreal, you know someone is good when they can do this
There's really not a whole lot to say, Simon & Garfunkel endorsed this version as the all-time best version of their song, including their own!!
really ?in which interview ?
@@alessioalbanesi3826 they didn't. Paul simon literally can't because he passed. The interview was with Draiman, in which he said he had gotten word that art Garfunkle had seen the conan performance and thought it was amazing
@@Youmama187 Paul Simon is still alive! Don't kill him off just yet!
@@ReviewCrap you are correct. I thought he has passed, but I was wrong

Gotta say, out of all the "Voice Teachers" that I've watched react to this, you are the only one who actually seemingly knew how to to teach. Everyone else just points out obvious things, but you actually have good advice for people to take lessons from.
Check this one out too ruclips.net/video/6fR1B1pMdeg/видео.html
The best way I've heard the song described is this:
Simon and Garfunkel sang the song as a warning.
Disturbed sang it as anger because the warning wasn't headed.
I entirely understand what you mean about covers. Most of the best are ones that transformed the song into an entirely new form. Nobody cares if someone sings a song in the same way we're used to. It's when they make it into something new that we remember them.
I loved your reaction. I could see all the times that you wanted to pause the video and make a comment but didn't want to interrupt the music.
You are a true lover of music.
It reminds me of how "Hurt" was transformed when Johnny Cash sang it.
I was thinking of this when i heard Pink's cover of "Me and Bobby McGee." She sang it well, but did nothing new with it. It was just the same song.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I hate to be that stickler but Heeded, not headed
I love it when a singer can actually sing. For Michael Jackson, his dancing was his song, the words living in his movements. For David, his voice becomes the song. It is an amazing and breathtaking talent. I like Mike Goodrich. He has intelligence that has become wisdom. Priceless in this world. I subscribed.
I love David Draiman's version of this song. However, I never could have fathomed watching a reaction video of the performance could make it even better. If I'm ever having a bad day, I'm watching this teacher express sheer, unbridled joy listening to this piece of music. I can't think of anything more uplifting. Thank you sir.
The look of awe and astonishment on the voice teacher's face, especially the second half of the song, is awesome.
Henk Poort (sp?) who does the duet of Phantom with Floor Jansen on Beste Zangers, does a rendition of this....similar and gorgeous.
I like his version even more than the original. I love Henk's voice.
Thank you!
yea, i thought david did a great job, and he did, but after i listened to henk... jesus, henk is something else^^
As much as i love Henks rendition of this song, i still think Davids version tops it. Its just so balanced, unique and strong. And i think Henks rendition was just a copy of this one. (While amazing on its own) What im getting at is, Henk did a great job, while David did an amazing job a few years earlier
Henk is a Operette and Opera singer...in the baritone range. He played in musicals too....he was the Phantom in the Dutch cast and lots more.

I recommend giving the singer Roy Khan a listen. He sang for Kamelot until he stepped back for health reasons years ago. He has a brilliant expressive and unique voice and way of singing IMO. It's a long time since he sang for them, but the live performances I can recommend are Kamelot's "The Haunting (feat Simone Simmons)" and Kamelot's "Elizabeth (I, II & III)". And, of course, if you want even more upbeat there's always the songs "Forever" and "Center of the Universe". But I'd recommend the other two first.
The Voice of God. Great reccomendation. "The Edge of Paradise" from One Cold Winter's Night also displays his falsetto really good.
Elisabeth live from One Cold winters night. You do know he is back with Conception and making music again?
I honestly love Soul Society but no one ever mentions that when mentioning Kamelot
I've heard about Roy Khan so thank you for reminding me! I'll listen to all your suggestions!
Mike Goodrich I will be playing close attention to your future Roy Khan reaction. He is my favorite male vokalist (even if noone can beat Dimash)
I love how excited he gets about this. The beautiful voice coupled with his reactions gave me goosebumps.
Absolutely love this amazing rendition by Disturbed. I can't stop listening to it. It's so powerful.
Your face as you listened! It was exactly how I must have looked as I heard it. I've shown it to others and watched other reaction videos! So awesome! What you said about how it SHOULD have been done that way.....agreed!
Your face while listening to this song. It gives me chills. Your face is priceless,!
The power of this song seems to touch everyone. I get goosebumps from the first line every time. Full body reaction. Watching you appreciate this song, which is something I listen to when my anxiety gets bad, brings joy to my heart. Thank you.
One can tell that this man has a genuine love of the gift of music and appreciates it's diversity...impressive. He also has the gift of being able to "teach" and use terminology in a way that's understandable to the layman...one who might not have a true grasp of the skill and technical intricacies that it takes to construct a song and/or lyrics. But, most of us who have gone through the educational system in this country will understand when I say that there are educators out there that are very much "tellers" and not "teachers." This man is certainly a "teacher." I applaud you sir...and, thank you. The educational system could very much use a lot more of this man's ilk in guiding our children through school and hopefully, also turning them into better people.
I love how his eyes light up to David's voice. You got yourself a new subscriber from my very first watch!
That smile says it all i love the joy in his face
Hey, after watching various voice coaches, composers, previous composers, music industry people react to this I want to tell you that you're my favorite one and you're the only one getting my sub because
BECAUSE
you don't pause too often. You pause for a bit but not for too long. You didn't talk forever about your initial thoughts when you paused. I mean we all are here because we know the song or want to hear the song so it helps that you don't break up the flow too much
and 2. you have amazing reactions. I like your facial expressions please don't ever feel nervous about them or ever stop. We came for a reaction, the face is a part of that reaction. I love seeing when you get blown away! or if in other videos you may get disappointed or whatever it is, if I click on a reaction vid I wanna see the reaction.
Thanks for a great video, you remind me of one of my professors. Dr. Flory. :)
love the reaction! Another thing that's amazing - David was very sick when they performed this - that's why he's sitting down. He was trained to be a cantor and decided to be a rock singer instead.
The pure joy on your face is absolutely beautiful.
I love this, I grew up in the 60s and 70s and I loved how they did this. Very respectful of the tune!! Gave me chills.
I like how Draiman goes to the sweet, smooth sound at the end, after the raspy, gritty challenge.
The hair on my neck stands up every time I hear this song!
You convey the passion that I feel when I listen to this version. The original is nearly perfect... but this rendition is soul moving. And I actually like this live version better than the official recorded one. The timpani is AMAZEballs! Thanks for the awesome video!!! 💜
Never seen one of Mikes videos before, but he looks like hes stumbled upon something special! great reactions
Who would not want to be around Mike? What a bundle of joy -- so passionate. Love it!
It was joy watching this teacher discover, appreciate this performance. I hope he checks out the official video. The visuals are stunning, match the song perfectly.
I never got very excited about this song until this version came out and now it's one of my favourite songs ever. And watching your reaction was the cherry on top!
One of the best covers ever!
Loved how you enjoyed this. Great reaction!
Disturbed's version of this song is so strong... so imminent and fraught with warning... so dire for action and yet so sad and what could be with failure to heed the warnings... S&G's original was almost like "reading" a history book and the emotion conveyed was "Oh well...". Yes. As a gen X guy, and a Marine of the 90's, THIS is the version I feel in my soul. THIS is the version it always should have been.
I keep coming back for your reaction. It’s just really cool to see a reactor that understands
Something about an older man’s just smile of joy brings a smile to my face. Dude keep the channel going man, you remind me of my grandpa lol
I think everyone needs a teacher that enjoys their subject as much as this man. It means so much more when the teacher can express their own excitement and love for something. It almost gives you permission to love it in the same way.
It is stunning. Gives me goosebumps and brings ne to tears everytime I hear it. Loved your reaction Mr Goodrich.
I love watching your reaction to his singing throughout the song. I cried and melted when I first heard it. Love the original, but this arrangement is phenomenal and pleasing to the ears, to my soul!
You get the full feel of this song when you listen to the live version
That cover doesn't just go to the next level DD owned that song! I really enjoyed watching your reaction, so much that liked and subscribed. Looking forward to more great music.
Disturbed has the most beautiful, God-given gift. It truly is my favorite song of all-time!
I can’t stop watching this. So many “teachers” on RUclips have completely underestimated this voice and arrangement; that, they end up looking like fools. This teacher reminds me of so many beloved ones from my past and good heavens his review NAILS IT. I love this man. I want him to narrate and review my life with those sweet expressions! And brilliantly correct insights and language.
Your absolute joy for this amazing piece is fab to watch
Your sheer joy when David shows us how it's done... I love it so much!
The bit you say about how he sang what the words felt like, that's a great point!
Draiman was a Cantor as a child. He has also worked with Melissa Cross, whos background is traditional opera but she now teaches "the art of screaming". Shes worked with many metal singers including Corey Taylor from Slipknot. Cool vid 👍🏻
David was extremely upset at the producers of the show because they used auto-tune to correct the scratchiness of his voice, he was sick when he performed this live on the show, and he's a perfectionist but he does not like using Auto Tune and such as those, he's a self-proclaimed perfectionist when it comes to trying to get the best out of his voice in performance and he was extremely upset. That goes to show you the level of professionalism that man has, he comes from a long line of Jewish cantors and it is said in his family that he sounds a lot like his grandfather either on his mother or his father's side I cannot recall which at this time.
His voice control is amazing
Mate, you're reaction to this was genuine and honest. So glad you enjoyed it, check out it's music video, it's epic. Much love from Oz🇦🇺.
This guy was sick with the flu when he sang this. Amazing!
Watching this guy sing along with amazement made me start happy crying
His facial expressions from around 6:55 say everything, as it builds he goes from "Oh wow that's grand" through head bobbing to absolute amazement and emotion, into gritted teeth aggressively "GO FOR IT" and then deflates as it fades out. THAT is what good music is supposed to do. An absolute joy to watch and of course, listen to.
The singer is opera trained, actually. And it's the only version Paul Simon endorses.
This is false, and needs to stop being spread as though it were truth.
@@Ibringitthefuckdown - what are you talking about? Both are facts. You can check the public records on his education and I heard Paul Simon say it himself.
@@knowledgetracker You say I can check the public records, where would this record be? I suggest you do some research yourself. Because every source I have ever seen neglects to mention opera in any manner whatsoever. The only thing that is listed for training is "Draiman was classically trained as a cantor" which has nothing to do with opera.
You really know your music and voice! So nice to see someone that knows what they are talking about. Thank you for your thoughts. Amazing.
One comment made so much sense to me. This is how this song should have been sung so many years ago, because I now understand what it meant.
I'd like to see your reaction to another cover that i actually have tied at first place with Disturbed's The Sound of Silence as the best cover ever made: Heart - Stairway to Heaven (Live at Kennedy Center Honors)
Oh wow, I saw that! It's awesome and Robert Plant had a huge influence on Ann Wilson. (-: Thank you!
A must see!!!!!! I agree!
Have a listen to Gretchen Wilson's cover of Hearts "Barracouda" at the MTV awards.... she percorms it with Alice in Chains and they absolutely nail it .
Loved watching your reaction, just the amount of joy you were experiencing was so wholesome.
I love how the crowd waits til the very last note fades to applaud
You should see the video of this song. It is amazing. Your ads came in at the wrong time! David is awesome.
He made me smile ☺ as for this version I have loved it from the day I heard it. Best version EVER I could listen time n time again.
Love this song, in this version. Top notch........
Your reaction to this song is so far the best. I’ve seen many.
This is one if my favorite reactions to this song. You can tell he was really impressed
Love , love , love this teachers love for the music !! 💕💕💕💕💕
I like this guy. Metal defo isn't his thing, but you can see the joy in his face as he identifies art and talent and doesn't trash talk and nitpick. He's genuinely interested in whatever because it's music.
Huge mistake was made chosing this over his music video. He was sick when he did this one and you can greatly hear it in his voice. If you truly want emotional then you need to watch the music video!
The music video would be an edited studio recording. It makes sense a vocal coach (assuming you're interested in Mr. Goodrich's feedback) would seek a version that's as close to a live performance as possible.
The recorded one is autotuned to buggery, it sounds better without that regardless of the cold.
They respected the original song and made it their own at the same time. One of the best covers, IMO. I enjoyed watching your expression as he was singing.
There is a beautiful ice dancing pair who did a routine to this version of the song. This song, coupled with the sound of the ice skates, almost add another dimension to the song, and the routine is beautiful. Highly recommend watching that, you can find it on RUclips.
Not many voices can achieve the powerful clarity of the words delivered with their emotional and physical hit of them...
...I will be 62 in Aug. I have been listening to this song since my early teens...until Disturbed cover...I had Never really Heard the Words...It was never as PROPHETIC as it is Now...I could loop this All Day
I binge watched dozens of reaction to this, vocal coaches, musicians, random people, they all have one thing in common. The look of absolute joy on their faces from hearing something so blindingly beautiful, even when it’s making them cry at the sorrow it wrenches from their soul at same time.
Phew, I’m glad I’m not the only one who did that. Such a great performance.
I do the same. I don't ever get tired of listening to it 😜
I'm doing that right now for the fourth time.
Add a me too! 😍Loved it……
I did the same thing. I probably would have gotten a lot of views if I had been recorded because I really get into it. Lol. I just love to see others enjoy it as much as I do. I never get tired of this amazing song.
That last part of the song, you looked like a little child on Christmas morning, the expression on your face. Love it!
De Co ~ Right? You described his smile perfectly.
I couldn't have put this better. Mike's face was lit up and brilliant!
I thought the exact same thing. Surprise, joy, entertainment.
Exactly. His face was like a physical representation of my soul the first time I heard this version of the song.
When he paused where he did all I could think was, If you like the first part i cant wait to see him blow your face off with the rest. His smile said it all from there.
The pure joy in your face while listening to this song made me smile man. First video of yours I’ve watched and I’m a fan!
Same!
I really appreciate that, thank you!
@@MikeGoodrich I absolutely agree with this comment. Your face was so excited listening to the vocal range, made me excited as well. Thank you!
Same!
Same man that look is the reason people sing and write songs
I was 16 years old when I first heard this, and now at 73 I heard it again, for the first time. Smiling, crying, full body goosebumps, if I could feel like this every day for the rest of my life I could die happy. Wonderful, just wondeful.
Ruth, I've read so many comments on RUclips vids, I even have a premium subscription. Your comment is the most real and wholesome that I've ever witnessed
Perfect sentiment. I saw Simon & Garfunkel when I was 15 at Constitution Hall in DC. And now this? Astonishingly perfect and moving. Paul Simon linked to it on his social media-the only cover he ever linked to. I read somewhere that Paul said that David/Disturbed owns the song.
Be happy to live…God Bless!
❤
My father (77 in June), had the 78 and I listened as a kid. I played this version for him a couple years ago, and he fell in love with it. Keep in mind, the song was REVERED in our home, and an attempt at a cover would have been sacrilege. Incredible version, and love you had the same reaction Dad did
This is more than a cover - it's a damned TRIBUTE.
I had never heard this before it started showing up in these "reaction" videos - literally gives me chills. such a beautiful performance. I'm not a metal fan, but Disturbed has impressed me.
I have listened to the original song by Simon & Garfunkels over many many years, but in my mind this "Trbute" just blows it out of the water
This was a flat out theft!
David stole this song for Simon and Garfunkel.
I can never go back to the original again.
It's almost the greatest song in the world. It's just a tribute, but I'm totally satisfied by that.
onwardtowaffles and they played the first song that came to their head, and it just so happened to be, the best song in the world....
The joy on Mr. Goodrich's face when the higher notes were being hit earned my subscription. Love the passion
Thank you!
Mike Goodrich David is one of my BIGGEST singing influences and as a person he is absolutely amazing. You don’t see a lot of people within this type of music getting praise like this. You’ve absolutely gained my subscription as well! 💚
Me too!
I totally agree with SpaceCowboyMugen. I totally love the song, but the greatest joy of watching this video is seeing the joy on Mr. Goodrich's face... throughout the whole song. Mr. Goodrich, your love of music is very evident and very appreciated!!! This video made my day! Thank you!
Agreed reminded me of my old music teacher
David was SO SICK with the flu when he was singing this onstage. True testament to his love of the song and his love of the fans who waited to see him.
guess you could say he was down with the sickness.

I just made a comment about this exact thing. I totally agree lol
Pretty much
Lol, very true 😂
Haha...Yes!
His voice should be insured 😂
This fella is the type of teacher that everyone remembers from their education. So much passion for his expertise.
Totally agreed ❤️
Exactly. My high school vocal teacher I still remember her. Hell I still go back and visit her!
Totally
Indeed.
And that everyone wholeheartedly loved.
I’ve watched a few reactions to this, and you are the first vocal coach that totally gets it. You sir, have won me over. You have soul.
Check the charismatic voice channels reaction. She does a very good job breaking it down and appreciating it.
I'm not a singer, I'm not a musician, but I know what sounds good and what sounds absolutely awesome. If any so called musical expert can find distain in this particular rendition, then I'm sorry but they are inept. Maybe one or two tiny points could be picked out but to me this is as good if not better than the original. Wow! Powerful perfection.
He was sick when he sang this live on Conan. That’s his “less-than” voice you’re hearing. Amazing, isn’t it.
Yup
Yes, and the tech added autotune against his wishes. One case where the studio recording is purer.
He had a temp of 102, and was advised to cancel, he didn't, still pulled off a great rendition
The version with Myles Kennedy is probably my favorite live version of this song.
@@TheBucklessYooper i have both the studio version and that version on spotify playlist
"Thirty, forty years ago when Simon & Garfunkel did it..."
Us old people still think of 1964 as being 30 or 40 years ago.
Yeah my dad was born in 1960. He's definitely older than 40 now lol
I'm only 30 and I have to remind myself the 60s weren't 40 years ago.
@@Aster_Risk I’m in my 20s and I’m definitely not okay with 2012 almost being 10 years ago
This is how I am with Nirvana lol. I still think they were around ~10 years ago sometimes then remember what year it is.

I love how he says “this gentleman”... I would have never thought that the first time I listened to disturbed that I would be listening to them singing a Simon and Garfunkel song, via a vocal coach reaction, with them being referred to as “this gentleman” -💖
hahah agreed
I love this comment
this video was your first disturbed song? awesome! they've got a lot of other great covers and original music. i'd personally recommend at least checking out The Light and Darkness, i feel like they're both good transition songs from the ballad here and the harder metal/rock they usually prefer.
@@icefox94 oh no, this is not my first disturbed song. I am a long time fan and know all their songs. They touch my soul deeply. I don’t have any education with music, but their songs seem so complicated and simple at the same time. And their songs run deep like a river in my heart. I love it! But when I heard this song, my father was dying that summer... it touched me so deeply. A scar in my heart and their words pierced my grief, while helping me deal with the tragedy. It was a blessing and almost supernatural how it affected me. And I don’t even believe in any of that... They’re interpretation was like they saw my world - amazing
@@vwiccy This is amazing. Music can do amazing things. I hope you're doing okay now with your father's passing. My condolences 💙
Man, the joyous expression on your face witnessing his mastery was almost more enjoyable than the performance itself. Love your analysis!
Thank you! It's not possible to hide it! Haha
I can tell this guy is a legitimate teacher because he’s humble. “I don’t know how this is done.” He knows what he doesn’t know ... but you just know he’s going to get smart on that technique in the coming weeks and months.
He truly enjoyed the song, I think the fact that he didn't know was a joy to him, so often teachers get stagnant and bored with what they teach, it seems he found bliss in his ignorance, its a trait many of us lose after years of experience, that child like innocence of discovery, I know it was a joy to me to see it
He is a trained cantor and also classically trained. He also had the flu when he performed this
Didnt David also perform at that one concert in the middle of the desert when he had the flu?
Came down here to make this exact comment.
@@aceundead4750 unless he did recently. The time I'm thinking you're referring to was uproar 2010 in Tempe, AZ
@Todd Hendricks I'm worried for you lol. I've been a Disturbed fan for 20 years and their discography is very different from what this song presents if you are looking for chill sounds 😂😂
@Hunter Edep I'm saying the voices may stupify him 😂😂
2 points: First that David (the singer) received a personal email from Paul Simon appreciating the rendition shortly after this performance.
and second, the best way I've heard this described in respect to the original is that the original was a warning, this version was the anger that the warning was not heeded.
Agreed.
And never will be heeded.
It may not be heeded but that is our own fault.
It's why I love both versions. The original has that soft warning gloomy tone to it. And the new one has the power and rage. I love that we have both now.
Joshua Duncan, exactly. The other great side-by-side is "Imagine" by John Lennon and Tool. Lennon's version was hopeful and inspiring, while Maynard's take was with a sarcastic, cynical undertone.
I have to say that I absolutely love seeing the genuine joy in his face when listening to the song. I've watched many reaction videos to many different songs by other youtubers and most of them have such fake exaggerated expressions so watching this pure reaction was truly a pleasure.
Thank you. (-: I love music and singers!
