This song is incredibly difficult to sing. Many Artists, (even females) who do covers of this song usually do it in a lower pitch range. The fact that he performed this in front of a crowd in school, at the same pitch is extremely courageous. The fact that he pulled it off without many mistakes shows his true talent. I didn't see the other contestants but I hope he won the talent show.
and even though he might not exactly be in the exact period, he is at the age to be going through puberty and his vocal cords are gonna be hard to control. And he's nailing it regardless. Also he's hella passionate when he's singing!
As someone who is getting professionally trained in singing, this kid has some serious potential! He sounds like he could be a higher baritone almost to a lower tenor. There are a couple spots where the nerves really take over but after the first verse he seems quite a bit less nervous. Keep going at it bud!
I was SO nervous just watching this. I can’t comprehend how much steel this young man has in his body. To VOLUNTARILY do this. In middle school. That’s amazing. 🤯
@@mrbruh4385as a freshmen, I respectfully disagree. The social stress in middle school to fit in is incredibly worse than hs. In high school everybody is who they are. At least in my school they are.
@@presondragon11 yea, there is so much more pressure in ms than hs. Hs no one really cares as much because they are too worried about themselves. In ms everyone is mean and grumpy and hs its kinda the same but they arent as judgey
@@Anthony.1956 you try singing a very difficult song in front of a whole school of judgemental teenagers, and then come back and see if your opinion has changed.
He's very talented. ik it's quite a hard song to sing. He sang it almost perfectly like Vance Joy, with the exception of a few voice cracks, otherwise it's beautiful singing.
people keep on mixing talent and skill up, talent is something you're born with, skill is something you work for. he clearly worked for this and practiced
He's so brave for this, you could tell his voice was having a difficult time belting out the lyrics for the audience to here, but he kept going that was so beautiful.
this is very hard for all genders to sing. this 8th grader is a semitone off sometimes, but other than that, YOU SLAYED HARD KID! MY FAVORITE SONG SANG BY AN 8TH GRADER
I love the song Riptide and I agree with @Jade R because this song is really difficult to sing but this young man is singing this song with ease like its no harder then saying hi to a friend that and I envy him because he can sing in front of people and I'm not shy but when it comes to singing a solo in front of people I just can't do it. if he can see this this is to him "dont give up keep moving forward"
By now, this dude is already finished with his first year of college probably. This dude is going places. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a famous singer/songwriter.
I love this song so much is 1 of my favorite songs Auntie's are really nice singer too hearing him sing it Remind me of how much memories I had of this song I left it so much❤
He is made of talent! Also This is my favorite song so extra credit if I was his teacher lol his parents r probably so proud of him! Everyone is even I don't know him but HE'S A MASTERPIECE! PLEASE BE KIND AND TREAT OTHERS THE WAY U WANNA BE TREATED!
@@matthewholman747 What? For your information, I'm a singer myself and sing in front of people all the time. Don't go around saying things you don't know about, at all. You might say "Well why isn't anything on your channel?" My answer to that is I don't feel like putting videos of me singing that I do not care about on the internet to be judged by random people that I don't know. Again, you might say "Well why are you judging this kid singing" My answer, I'm not. I'm simply saying, he is not the most amazing singer that should be given a Grammy (According to the people in this comment section.) I'm judging people like you, who make false claims. Saying "he has range I wish I had" is just dumb. He clearly can't hit the high notes well. Now this isn't even one of the biggest critiques against people in this comment section, and with time and vocal guidance he can definitely harness his true range, and strengthen his voice. He has plenty of potential. Bottom line, dont make stupid comments like that and try to start shit in a comment section. I wasn't saying he was bad, I was saying what you said is simply not true.
@@theabominableluk3214You try singing in front of a group of people you’ll see for multiple more years, see how it turns out. While it’s not the best, it certainly is still well done. Give the man some credit
@@FlameFoxen Okay, terrible is a little harsh its still not a very good performance. Saying "hes so talented" is a bit of a stretch. He is clearly having fun and enjoying it and it was fun to watch
@@theabominableluk3214Imo, he has potential. That’s what matters in my eyes, but I will admit it was not the greatest cover I had heard. Still, respect to the guy.

Me singing thinking I did good but my bro sayin i sound that a goat dieing lol
@Walter Hartwell White Sr. I can play ukulele and sing this song

@@cashmereonabush why do you say smh? He is correct. He could really go somewhere if he keeps practicing.

I think middle school is the time where there isnt as much social pressure as in high school, but that aside he still did amazing. Props to him.
honestly? I think it’s more in ms that I was nervous about what people thought about me.

@Ryan Donohoe No u
@@nxve433 i agree wit him
2023
The students are so supportive…people would be pointing and laughing if someone did it at my school.
Omg I wish I could sing like that shoot
Jordan and Taylor’s channel Frazier’s I heard a couple voice cracks 😳
Maybe but the fact he did this in front of many people
In my opinion it was ass but aight
@@Anthony.1956 you try singing a very difficult song in front of a whole school of judgemental teenagers, and then come back and see if your opinion has changed.
@@sunnydispositionn I'm not talking abt his confidence. His voice is ass.
He's very talented. ik it's quite a hard song to sing. He sang it almost perfectly like

Yep, and the tones sometimes are off. But who cares that much?
people keep on mixing talent and skill up, talent is something you're born with, skill is something you work for. he clearly worked for this and practiced
Thats the funny thing abt riptide,
It’s super easy to learn on guitar,
But super hard to sing
i honestly hope this kid makes it big in music, he seems really passionate
He's so brave for this, you could tell his voice was having a difficult time belting out the lyrics for the audience to here, but he kept going that was so beautiful.
GOOSEBUMPS AT THE FIRST WORD
Respect mate even when there was lots of voice cracks
Bro gots the captain America tshirt he’s already a W
I love how everyone else was hyping him up the whole time
So much passion!
Me: “Yeah, I'm good at singing I've gotten a couple of solos in choir.”
*Me after I look at kids singing on RUclips: “yeah....I can't sing...”*
Bruh he aint good at singing
@@YT_Abirdgo ahead and sing for us v1nce scum
This is terrifying, it’s not just some strangers that you will never see agian! It’s your class-mates that you will see everyday! The courage..
school back then was way better
I was rooting this kid all the way through, even singing it with him! I love the song and his voice! You go, Super 8th grader!
Your a weirdo
I love his CONFIDENCE and AMAZING VOICE!! Hes going to be a popstar someday :) Trust me💗
bro his singing soo good vance joy needs to do something bout this XD
Aaahhh he did so good and I absolutely love his confidence
that is if not the best Riptide cover yet and the power of a 8TH grader for that so glad he sang that song i was shocked the whole time😃
Just take a minute and think. This kid is close to graduating high school now 😢

He better have won that mf talent show 😂
I hope the best for this guy in his future, I really hope he didn't get bullied. :)
Contagious energy!!! Love it!!!
I'm in 8th grad rn (almost a freshman) and we had a talent show this year and my friends and I sang Riptide. This gave me deja vu
I love watching performances of musicians who have a pure, overwhelming love for music.
The fact his voice only cracked once and he’s 14😮 he is really good
The captain America shirt goes crazy with the song
This guy seriously needs a singing career,he is a born star!
(Actually the fact he's in 11th or 12th grade now is just crazy)
this boosted my confidence love you so mcuh bro never stop being urself
this is very hard for all genders to sing. this 8th grader is a semitone off sometimes, but other than that, YOU SLAYED HARD KID! MY FAVORITE SONG SANG BY AN 8TH GRADER

Wow…. What an excellent talented performer
Love his cover sm! Correct pitch & the passion.
Bro can pull girls
By now, this dude is already finished with his first year of college probably. This dude is going places. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a famous singer/songwriter.
as soon as he started singing, i was surprised!! He's so good!!!
