Hands down Teddy Swims could sing the phone book. Each song he sounds totally different. His covers better than the originals ..teddyswims.com. Anything .
My friend introduced me to Teddy. She met him and said he was so friendly and down to earth and seemed to be incredibly moved and humbled by the fans there to see him.
I found Teddy about a year ago,i and can honestly say,i do not no why this guy is not on a top record company,the man is amazing,not one bad song,fact,Regards From Bonnie Scotland
I've been a fanatic about Teddy for months. He's on the cusp of superstardom. Glad you liked him, too! Bonnie Raitt did the original. She wrote it, too. She'd be so proud!
Yeah, I really think the coronavirus is the only thing that stopped him or slowed down his blow up. As soon as things go back to some type of "normal" I think he'll become a superstar.
What a beautiful find. He absolutely does this song justice. His rendition grabbed my heart from start to finish. Bonnie Rait would be very pleased I'm sure.
Oooh. Beautiful. George Michael did an amazing version of this song. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never heard this one. Original? I’m not sure. What a beautiful song. Raspy voice. Gorgeous. 💖💜👍
This song was written for Bonnie Raite for her 1991 studio album, Luck of The Draw. I highly recommend checking out that entire record! ❤️ I’ll definitely be looking for more Mr. Swims as his voice is so soulful!
Teddy's voice is incredibly soulful and versatile. I only discovered him around Christmas 2019. Check out his covers of Chris Stapleton's "Tennessee Whiskey" and Michael Jackson's "Rock with You". What a voice.
He did a great job! The original is by Bonnie Raitt as mentioned...you'll love that one too. Also by her is ,"Let's give 'em something to talk about" that's a fun song 🧡😊
He's amazing. I highly HIGHLY recommend you listen to his rendition of "To make you feel my love" by Adele (or Dylan I guess...). And great reaction as usual :)
1:50 into the video and have to comment. Wow!!! That's some honest talent. Incredible voice. I love your channel and your positivity. Keep up the great work and thanks for showcasing talent we wouldn't have found otherwise
I've been a fan of Teddy's since he dropped his first video. He's a super sweet guy, with a great sense of humor. Watch any of his videos and you'll be glad you did 🔥♥️🔥♥️ Great reaction!
Love Teddy! He has an amazing voice! He just recently did What's Going On and it was beautiful. He has a couple original songs out as well, Night Off and Picky. So good!
I found Teddy swims by accident about 2 years ago when I saw a clip of Alan stone on American idol so I googled him and I came up with Sarah smiled with Allen and Teddy and they are both phenomenal both phenomenal. Teddy swims can sing anything
So right about that! From one Bonnie fan to another: treat yourself to her singing with her Dad - just use search "Bonnie Raitt and John Raitt". It's amazing to see them together!
J, I appreciate you doing what you do. The honest feelings and knowledge you have listening to songs I grew up with makes me have hope for the younger generation that doesn't appreciate great music! Thank you.
This was really great I had never seen this before. You should also do the original Bonnie Raitt I think you’ll really like it. Loved your reaction.😃👍✌️🌼
Teddy Swims has a voice of velvet wrapped in denim. Bonnie Raitt's song has never been done as well, except for her version. I am now anxious to hear him do more. Thank you for this reaction.
You weren't expecting that. Teddy is a beast. Tearing up covers. From country, rock, pop and r&b. Got a couple of his own, Picky is one. Hit a million subs in under a year. Had to stop production of album due to covid. Check all his stuff out.
I'm so glad you did this one - I just recently "found" him and he's so incredibly talented, and seems really down to earth and just an all around good guy! Thanks for doing this one!
Great reaction my man. It’s very true that even if the song is a cover, if the singer can really internalize the insinuated emotion and depth of the lyrics and go all in, it truly transforms the song. We had a singer that used to do this in spectacular fashion. You could see the tears in his face when he turned around to not show the audience, lol. Tragic accident took that beautiful soul from us in a freak accident when he was cutting down a tree on his property. God I miss hearing that guys soulful tones. Very much like Teddy here but more silk and less gravel. Teddy is simply spectacular. 😎
Teddy has only been around for about a year as a RUclips artist, mostly doing covers with his band, but he recently came out with an original hip hop number, She’s So Picky. Check out that music vid!
He is talented I've heard of him but first time listening to him awesome. Love the original but yeah he most definitely did it justice! You should react to the original by Bonnie raitt
You have just introduced another great singer to me, I thought Bonnie Rait and George Michael did it with aplomb, this man has an immense talent. Thank you.
The writer had a flash of inspiration when he read a newspaper article. It’s a brilliant beautiful piece of work. Prince sings my favorite version of all. Teddy and Bonnie are awesome but Prince is pure genius.
I've never heard of him, I've only heard of the country singer Bonnie Raitt and other Black men and women artist that are in their 40's, 50's, 60's or 70's, India Arie is an R&B artist and she's the queen of R&B, in her song "Video" it says that she is a queen, I love that song by her, it's so soothing. But the songs I have heard by Bonnie Raitt was Something To Talk About and I Can't Make You Love Me, I follow MOSTLY Black women and Black men rappers, Black men actors and Black girl and Women actresses. This is my first time watching the video. But like I said I have never heard of this country singer before, no one has never done vocals like but to India. Arie. I would admire Singer India. Arie the most, because her voice is very cool and she is a very great R&B singer, but Bonnie Raitt is aight, I've heard about 2 or 3 of her songs. Black women singers like India. Arie, Mary J. Blige, Muni Long, Beyonce, Rihanna, Ciara, Amerie, Ella Mai, Kelly Rowland, Kandi Buruss, Monica and others are very popular. I will have to watch this video to see if I like or not. It's basically my opinion depending on the video, but the man's may not sound very cool to me like Bonnie Raitt. Black women's voices always sound proper or beautiful like the singer-songwriter India. Arie.
Hi Jay, this is not my first time to your channel. I'm glad I saw this reaction to Teddy Swims rendition of this song. Your right when you say if you gonna sing a cover there should be some kind of 'emotion" and passion...☝️🤓
Never heard of him, this won’t be the last time I hear one of his songs. I never thought anyone could do this song justice but Bonnie Rait.
Hands down Teddy Swims could sing the phone book. Each song he sounds totally different. His covers better than the originals ..teddyswims.com. Anything .
Right, this is the first time I'm hearing him as well. Wow! Amazed (Not Bonnie, but not bad)
Teddy and George Michael are the only ones to do this song justice imo.
I love teddy Swims beautiful voice
I was exactly the same. Huge Teddy fan.
My friend introduced me to Teddy. She met him and said he was so friendly and down to earth and seemed to be incredibly moved and humbled by the fans there to see him.
I can't blame him for dropping a few tears. I wanted to also. Such a beautiful song... beautiful lyrics. He did great.
CRY, EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS SONG FROM TEDDY SWIMS.
I found Teddy about a year ago,i and can honestly say,i do not no why this guy is not on a top record company,the man is amazing,not one bad song,fact,Regards From Bonnie Scotland
He signed with Warner in December of 2019.
I've been a fanatic about Teddy for months. He's on the cusp of superstardom. Glad you liked him, too! Bonnie Raitt did the original. She wrote it, too. She'd be so proud!
Yeah, I really think the coronavirus is the only thing that stopped him or slowed down his blow up. As soon as things go back to some type of "normal" I think he'll become a superstar.
dedi He should be a superstar! 💖💜💙
I don’t think she wrote it but it is an excellent version.
@@elizabethmclauchlan6623 you are correct. She did not write it.
@@elizabethmclauchlan6623 I think John Hiatt wrote it?
Doesn’t his voice’s vibration just go right into your heart?! Such soul as you say Javonne 💜
What a beautiful voice. I'd never heard of him before, but Teddy Swims is going to be getting some airplay tonight! 💖💖💖
Look up Jacob Banks “Say Something” he’s unreal
I never heard of him, either! This is really beautiful. Thanks to all who suggested it.
Never heard him before. But very good.
Bonnie Rait did the original. Someone you should listen to.
Her version will always be the best for me.
+1 for Bonnie Raitt's version!
True, but this guy is not chopped liver.
Absolutely agreed! Has to Bonnie Raitt! Her raspy , beautiful passion! ! Hope he does it!🤞🏼
How killer would it be if he did this in a duet with Bonnie?
My exact thoughts.
That's Bonnie Rait's song. This guy is awesome! Bonnie's original version is fantastic as well.
Yes, Teddy is great! Has to be Bonnie for me though!
@@kimberlinibambini1988 I agree.
I always get a shit eating grin when reactors hear his voice for the first time. The look on your face is priceless
Never heard of this guy. Very Powerful Voice. Very powerful words. And a very genuine reaction☮️
I always loved this song....first by Bonnie Rait then George Michael and now Teddy Swims. Beautifully done.
Omg his voice ❣❣❣
Dude. This is serious talent. Amazing!
beautiful version, soulful voice
What a beautiful find. He absolutely does this song justice. His rendition grabbed my heart from start to finish. Bonnie Rait would be very pleased I'm sure.
Wow. I never heard of this guy but he does a helluva great job on this Bonnie Rait classic. Absolutely beautiful.
so glad more and more people are getting a chance to hear his unbelievable voice. everyone’s mouth drops the first time they hear him.
Hadn’t heard of him either but am always open to new artists. George Michael does an excellent version!
I like george Michael version much much better
I was divorcing at this time and rich she’s saying it when a woman sings this it actually has more power. I cried today again and it’s 22 years
It's also my first time hearing this. Sooo much soul! Thank you for sharing this reaction video because I was feeling it too!
My pleasure!!
Oooh. Beautiful. George Michael did an amazing version of this song. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never heard this one. Original? I’m not sure. What a beautiful song. Raspy voice. Gorgeous. 💖💜👍
Bonnie Raitt did the original. George Michael did a really good cover.❤️😃🌼Love and peace
Marnie Fritz Right back at you! ✌️💜🌸
Teddy's voice to me, is like smooth honey, slowly trickling down the rough edges of the Maple Tree 💗💗💗
I’ve never heard of him, but he can sing!! Wow! I love this sad one sided love song listen to Bonnie Rait version
This song was written for Bonnie Raite for her 1991 studio album, Luck of The Draw. I highly recommend checking out that entire record! ❤️ I’ll definitely be looking for more Mr. Swims as his voice is so soulful!
Teddy's voice is incredibly soulful and versatile. I only discovered him around Christmas 2019. Check out his covers of Chris Stapleton's "Tennessee Whiskey" and Michael Jackson's "Rock with You". What a voice.
That's beautiful, both the performance and your reaction!
So soulful, every note spot on and I felt every word and note. I love this version more than any I've heard.
He did a great job! The original is by Bonnie Raitt as mentioned...you'll love that one too. Also by her is ,"Let's give 'em something to talk about" that's a fun song 🧡😊
He's amazing. I highly HIGHLY recommend you listen to his rendition of "To make you feel my love" by Adele (or Dylan I guess...). And great reaction as usual :)
So wonderful how you fall into beautiful music!
Your reaction was like mine. I felt "the power" too! Beautiful.
His real name is Jaten Dimsdale. He's amazing and his voice is so soothing.
1:50 into the video and have to comment. Wow!!! That's some honest talent. Incredible voice. I love your channel and your positivity. Keep up the great work and thanks for showcasing talent we wouldn't have found otherwise
Most people feel LOVE comes from the heart, but in reality it comes from the soul. That's why they get it wrong SO often.
Whoa! Thank you to whoever suggested this song and artist. This guy's amazing
Hi again from the UK, what a banging voice it has blown me away , the message in the song is so true, love it fantastic thanks Jay 😥.
Check out his cover of Marvin gaye's song What's Going On. Awesome!😍
Sad but that song applies to what’s going on now
Would have never thought anyone would compare to Bonnie Raitt - but oh hell YES to this!
Been listening to this guy for awhile now, he's so talented, so much feeling in his voice
So happy you heard this and felt it and shared it, I’m still crying!
Teddy’s voice is on another level.
I've been a fan of Teddy's since he dropped his first video. He's a super sweet guy, with a great sense of humor. Watch any of his videos and you'll be glad you did 🔥♥️🔥♥️ Great reaction!
Yes! Teddy Swims definitely has the vocals and emotion to get me hooked. Good feedback. Thanks
I luv listening to Teddy, he has an amazing voice. His own songs too. Listen to him sing She so Picky x
😮😮😮😮😮 never heard of him! He’s Fantastic ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Why has this guy not got an album out his voice is amazing
Album will be released in May. Order yours in advance online. 💕💕💕
Thank you for reacting to this singer. I never heard him and I loved it!
Have you heard Dimash sing?
Wonderful voice! Thank you for playing this. By the other comments, I can tell I need to look him up.!
Love Teddy! He has an amazing voice! He just recently did What's Going On and it was beautiful. He has a couple original songs out as well, Night Off and Picky. So good!
Teddy doing MJ’s “Rock with you” and “Make you feel my love”. My personal favs.
I found Teddy swims by accident about 2 years ago when I saw a clip of Alan stone on American idol so I googled him and I came up with Sarah smiled with Allen and Teddy and they are both phenomenal both phenomenal. Teddy swims can sing anything
Bonnie Raitt wrote and recorded it. Hers is very different and hauntingly beautiful. I like Teddy’s too, but Bonnie is my fave.
Been listening to teddy for about a year maybe? His voice is/has a soul of its own♥️
one of my favorite singers, so glad you discovered him today! ♪♫♪
First time I hear of him. Bonnie Rait sings this song. I think he's amazing!! Love it!!!
Incredible song! I’ve never heard him before but please check out Bonnie Raitt’s version as well. This song though! 💔💔💔
Jay- soooo many of us want to see you react to the original by Bonnie Raitt- more raspy voice.. and soooo emotional!! This guy is good tho-
So right about that! From one Bonnie fan to another: treat yourself to her singing with her Dad - just use search "Bonnie Raitt and John Raitt". It's amazing to see them together!
J, I appreciate you doing what you do. The honest feelings and knowledge you have listening to songs I grew up with makes me have hope for the younger generation that doesn't appreciate great music! Thank you.
Paul Davis - I go Crazy
This was really great I had never seen this before. You should also do the original Bonnie Raitt I think you’ll really like it. Loved your reaction.😃👍✌️🌼
Jay-please do Bonnie Raitts version! It’s the original!!
Once a generation kind of talent 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ive listened to all this guy has sung, - pure dynamite
Dimash is the best I’ve ever heard he can sing in 12 different languages and hear him sing in French a song called “SOS” or “Sinful Passion”
George Ibrahim Really,wow
jaterapi I love Teddy to with his raspy voice. But Dimash is unique no one quite like him and can hit the whistle tone and octaves out of the charts
jaterapi he can also play 8 different musical instruments
George Ibrahim I love that. Thanks.
Teddy deserve a 🌟 awesome voice, love to hear more, tks JVee,
Everyone can't cover a great song and make it theirs, but Teddy did it!
Only found him recently, love him, what a voice!
OR.... maybe it's not a G.M. song; someone down below says it's Bonnie Rait, but G.M. does a very good job, as he always does.
Teddy has many songs he sings on You Tube....worth it to hear them!!!
Teddy Swims has a voice of velvet wrapped in denim. Bonnie Raitt's song has never been done as well, except for her version. I am now anxious to hear him do more. Thank you for this reaction.
I been following teddy for quite awhile....amazing!!!!....love me some teddy...I make everyone I know listen to him....✌️❤️
The power or love by Jennifer rush , sinead o'connor nothing compares to you, if you like the lyrics in this song you will love these two 🤗.

@@JayveeTV That is so awesome!!
Bonnie Raitt made me fall in love with this song...please listen to her :) She has so many great songs
thx J - just one of many reasons u are the best - never judge a book its cover- love heartfelt reactions ! thx for loving great music!

This is also sung by George Michael and Bonnie Rait
LOOK AT YOUR FACE!! YOUR BIG SMILE..SO GREAT! TEDY IS WONDERFUL!

he brings soul to every song
Teddy has performed numerous "covers" of other artists over the years as he honed his vocal skills; next time react to “Lose Control” his ORIGINAL!
Fantastic singer. Very touching.
The writer had a flash of inspiration when he read a newspaper article. It’s a brilliant beautiful piece of work. Prince sings my favorite version of all. Teddy and Bonnie are awesome but Prince is pure genius.

Wow! Never heard of him. He reminds me of that British artist - Rag’n’Bone Man
I would love to see a reaction video for "Use Me". A Bill Withers cover.
This guy knocked me on my butt. His voice is chilling.
🙌🏼 yes 🙌🏼 Teddy can sing!!! Makes you feel it all!!!
It was written by John Prine, RIP... John. His close friend Bonnie Ratt made it Famous... with his blessing.
Such soul & heart
Hi Jay, this is not my first time to your channel. I'm glad I saw this reaction to Teddy Swims rendition of this song. Your right when you say if you gonna sing a cover there should be some kind of 'emotion" and passion...☝️🤓
Bonnie Raitt song. Listen to her she has an incredible voice and great guitarists! 💞✌
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my I love you, Teddy, I love you ( sob! sob!.) You can sing to me any time you want. : *
Teddy Swims also does great covers of You're still the one, and valerie
