You took the exact words right out of my mouth. He had an audience that was filled with people that were 95% rhythmless, without soul or life to them. They all acted like clueless dead husks. Why nobody engaged with him by vocalizing along with him is mind-boggling to me. They were so stiff and devoid of feeling that in order to interact with the audience and get them to feel his music he had to use their bodies as drums so that they could at least experience the beat and rhythm. I wish I could have been there to interact with him so I could look him in the eye while following his lead and vocalize and harmonize along with him. I would have done it without looking away and giggling in embarrassment like these people did. What an incredible performance by Bobby McFerrin and a wonderful opportunity given to these lucky audience members who were not able to appreciate or understand the gift he was trying to give them.
Era un puto máquina,y siempre lo seguirá siendo aunque no siga entre nosotros 😢😢😢😢,pq los grandes nunca nos dejan espiritualmente,solo se van sus cuerpos🥰🥰❤️❤️♥️♥️😍y fue lo que paso con el♥️♥️❤️🥰🥰😍😍TE QUERREMOS SIEMPRE ♥️BOB MARLEY❤️
Laymen doesn't understand the level of genius Bobby operates on here. He literally has to dumb it down to connect. Wish I could have felt this energy live. ❤
John, LOOK AROUND dude, there is TONS of talent out there. Here are a VERY few examples. You just have to step outside the pop nonsense, for the most part, though there is even some pop talent there, like Bruno Mars. I literally have hundreds of examples of this kind of stuff, and every other kind, from every other musical genre, in my YT playlist. Yes, I spend way too much time of YT, one of those retirement perks: ruclips.net/video/2khVxhkvFBs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/ErxabKW63bk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/7gkJIn0anBM/видео.html A couple stepping out to some Piano: ruclips.net/video/I4GXUrYtEzY/видео.html I put you in at some high pressure turbo mode here: ruclips.net/video/3Nlb06QYLvA/видео.html Here's some awesome bass work, actually doing a FAST banjo solo on the bass, stick with it the tempo gets WAY faster, increasing significantly twice: ruclips.net/video/KdEh1yLNML8/видео.html I saved one of the best out there, MHO, for last. How about some microtonal stuff, singing entire chords and chord progressions between notes all over the place, and completely musical? Without the near perfect perfect pitch this guy possesses, not to the note, but to very low percent 'even' intervals between them, you couldn't do this stuff at this level. He's pretty much the pinnacle musician's musician out there, and plays several instruments at a high professional level, from three different families, percussion, strings, and keyboards. This includes one instrument he and a fellow he met at MIT while he was presenting a masterclass there developed together. Winner of two Grammys in his low twenties, with pieces sung and edited in his bedroom. The first piece is well known, especially to those with a few decades behind them. The second piece he modulates from G to G HALF sharp in four notes and back out in about the same number, and I DEFY you to find it. I used to sing, a lot, non professionally but fairly competently, and I never heard it. The way he does it is brilliant, actually tuning some chords properly, and de-tuning portions of others by microtonal amounts. He calls them the four magic chords. :-) The musicians in his audiences are blown away by it. When he plays the piano during the modulated to NO key interval, you can sure tell he's singing dead in the middle of the cracks. It is jarring. And his playfulness is infectious, no egotistical nonsense, just love of music and support of everyone. I've heard PhDs in music say they followed his self generated new music theory extensions about 3/4s of the way in, then he just lost them. Kind of a new Mozart in different and similar respects. A once in a generation type, according to some of the very best musicians out there from many different genres, the Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Stevie Wonder type crowd. This guy's talent, in several respects, is truly off the charts. He will sing any crazy scale with no reference, just in the middle of an interview, dead on pitch, or break any interval of notes into pretty much however many pieces he likes, like "here's a fifth in 7 equal steps", or beat 31 beats against 32 on his chest, 'perfectly'. His brain is just wired differently, there is no other way I can think of to explain it. ruclips.net/video/zua831utwMM/видео.html The G to G half sharp piece, In the Bleak Midwinter: ruclips.net/video/mPZn4x3uOac/видео.html And example of a cool piano piece, with loops, one you probably know, but you've never heard it like this:
The man is a LUNATIC, but it looks like his shows are a lot of fun. Super bright musically, too, a serious classical director. It's cool when somebody virtually creates a new mode to make music, and rare.
Dam, hearing this corny tune on radio never really caught my attention too much... but seeing and hearing him live makes me realize this guy had a really good voice and is vocally quite talented!!! Anybody with me on this? He should make a real song lol that exploits his talents
He’s actually an amazingly accomplished jazz musician, who is well regarded in many musical circles. This song just so happened to catch some major air time on radio and entered the pop atmosphere!
I just rediscovered this song last night after watching the movie Cocktail with Tom Cruise. That soundtrack on cassette was my life back when I was 12. I used to hate this song. At 41, I guess I am now the proper age to fully enjoy it? Whatever. Anyway, Bobby McFerrin wrote a jam that will withstand the test of time long after you or I are but mere worm feed.
The moment I first saw your video, it made my heart flutter and made me happy. I am sitting by the window with dark eyes like the night colored by the stars in the night sky, reminiscing on faded memories and watching your videos. As I watch your wonderful videos, my heart keeps falling over and over as if it is moving. It seems that there is a RUclipsr who wants to become a fan after a long time. There are emotions that cannot be expressed in words in this short video. You have the ability to make your videos instantly stunning and attractive. Thank you to the algorithm that made it possible to watch good videos, I hope that you will succeed as you have worked hard for your dreams. In the RUclips world, meeting your video is like an accidental meeting among countless videos like grains of sand on a wide beach. Your video shines the most in my RUclips window right now. RUclips is flowing endlessly on my small channel boat over the huge and far-off sea. I am very fortunate to have found your video while rowing a small paddle and going endlessly and endlessly. In this harsh RUclips world, even if the cold rain and wind blows and everything falls like leaves, I will always leave only your video in my memory. Your video is the best video. In the night sky, in the wide RUclips world like the Milky Way, I accidentally met your video as beautiful as a star and enjoyed it as if in a dream. It makes my heart flutter because I have a feeling that your video, which I feel was made with unsparing sincerity, will soon receive a lot of love. Whether it was a coincidence or a coincidence based on an unknown and mysterious algorithm, I opened my RUclips window and your thumbnail caught my eye.

LOL sounds a bit like it and the dark skinned guy who he then starts drumming on kind of looks like a gay guy but respect to him he was one of the only ones who got involved!
There’s no way that isn’t the look of a man who just realized he has a stiffy for ole Bobby McFerin the way he’s patting his shoulders. I see you biker jacket man, you don’t fool anybody
It was a tv show called the wired … I was there none of us got paid - this was completely fresh music not heard before so think everyone was a little shocked in a good way ( over 33 years ago !!) I was the girl dancing .. loved it 😍
This man is genius only musicians can understand him
Anybody else find this relaxing or is it just me?
This may not be the greatest song ever written. But it is the greatest song ever performed live.
Why is this audience not reacting to this gorgeous music?? Just standing there. How can they not be moving to the beat?
You took the exact words right out of my mouth. He had an audience that was filled with people that were 95% rhythmless, without soul or life to them. They all acted like clueless dead husks. Why nobody engaged with him by vocalizing along with him is mind-boggling to me.

The notes he hits, the clean it sounds it’s just different gravy man legend 🤘🏽
This man has a good and kind music soul in himself and sad to say only few can understand him
Laymen doesn't understand the level of genius Bobby operates on here. He literally has to dumb it down to connect. Wish I could have felt this energy live. ❤
I was wondering how he did this live. He didn’t even use a looper. That’s amazing
I had no idea he had such a crazy voice and vocal control
No one in history can do this like him, the range, the improv, the songs. etc. Celebrate him.

@@rodcooper7532 meh...
I’m literally crying from this talent. I can’t hold it back. This is so powerful. Gives me chills and brings full tears.
The chemistry he had with Robin Williams during the making of the film clip would've been a sight to see
My dads funeral song, he loved this. Died 14 years ago the old git.

Boy, does he WAKE THEM UP! He's a genius! 💖💖
We need more of his music - there’s not enough play! The world needs this uplifting artist!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Waveform update= Don't worry be happy ❤💗💚💙💜😁😀😃😄
Had a chance to see his concert in HK. Such a unique performer. Amazing talent.
What other language than music do we need? we fight when we use the others

Thanks DS Kim! I’m a big fan of RUclips too, the things you discover, make you go Wow! or just laugh. Keep enjoying. Cheers
My god, h'es such a powerhouse of talent. Using nothing but his voice and personality to be more than enough.
Its relaxing by listening to him, but he wasn’t relax making this piece of music at all
Gifted man 👍🏿👍🏿✊🏿✊🏿.
Damn, this is the best ever ❤😂🎉..
The Evander Holyfield of vocalists
Wish the crowd had a little more energy but still a great performance lol
Great memories 😉
He beat it out of him. Hahahahahaha. Listen to his words leading to everything.
WOW 😳
He's Freddy Mercury if he were black. So much engagement with the crowd, it's amazing.
Don't know why the crowd was so boring though

This audience couldn’t possibly be any more awkward
I'd be dead in that situation

Almost like a twilight zone episode..
They are in awe. As they should
Europeans are diferent

Come on guys. Atleast clap for the brother

Hhaha what
Did he say "there's a gay guy" at 1:25?
Hi Aaron, I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure! Cheers
Lol it do sound like it tho 🤣
Maestro!! Saltos de registro increíbles y ni instrumentos ni autotune no necesita, el es música
LOL sounds a bit like it and the dark skinned guy who he then starts drumming on kind of looks like a gay guy but respect to him he was one of the only ones who got involved!
Tough crowd
So no one gonna say how he was dancing all crazy on shorty she was hella funny uncomfortable
1:56 MIN , ESE SACO DE CUERO DEBE ESTAR EN UN CUADRO.. ejjejeje
Did he say, "that's a gey guy, I'm a black guy" at 1:25 😂😂😂
There’s no way that isn’t the look of a man who just realized he has a stiffy for ole Bobby McFerin the way he’s patting his shoulders. I see you biker jacket man, you don’t fool anybody
It's possible that this was a TV show and a paid audience for the show, hence the lack of enthusiasm :-)
It was a tv show called the wired … I was there none of us got paid - this was completely fresh music not heard before so think everyone was a little shocked in a good way ( over 33 years ago !!) I was the girl dancing .. loved it 😍
anyone here from the priest that came back from hell?
Irritating.
U don't know music
