It's such a shame we haven't heard more of him, he has such a beautiful timbre to his voice. Distinctive, strong and great power. Hope he is rediscovered soon.
SHAUN SMITH! Wow! This young man has a great voice! I'd buy this song tomorrow. I really liked his singing a lot! He has lots of talent and an excellent future in music!
I keep coming back just to hear you sing Shaun Smith. Your voice is amazing young man & I hope you have a wonderful career ahead of you xoxo I want to buy your version of this song
SHAUN SMITH! Shaun Smith has a great sounding voice! If he pursued music as a career, He would enjoy much success! Go for it Shaun. I enjoyed your performance!
I was impressed by his singing and doing the song his way. I give him lotta credit for going out there and doing his best. Hope he continues working on being a singer.
This young man is a doll! He has a lovely voice & I truly wish him well. He's no James Arthur of course. But my friends... NO ONE can sing like ♥️ beautiful James ♥️ ... who's incomparable voice is simply breathtaking... the most gifted voice in generations... THE Vocal Master Class. 🙏♥️🇺🇲✌
Where are you Shaun Smith, still watching your rendition of Sir Bill Withers? I love your performance coz you are the best. No contestants so far could do what you did
the guy`s got an extremely powerful voice ! see the distance of the mike from his face and even then he can easily utter such a strong voice !!! great and marvelous auditions beautiful control over the voice with extremely nice singing !
He's probably living his life somewhere. He says he wants to make other people happy, so if he is he's probably being seen by them. I doubt he wants to be seen by anyone else really.
Your comment made me google around a bit. Apparently he only came 9th in the finals, but according to the Birmingham Mail website, he attended a London Music college. It seems he was mentored by Susan Boyle, and used the money he earned with her help to finance his training. And besides, he said that all he wanted was for people to enjoy themselves. Maybe he'll break out one day.
As a matter of fact you can "learn", or at least acquire, good looks. Have you seen half of Hollywood? A lot of so-called "beautiful" people are hideous without their makeup. Between makeup, dentistry and plastic surgery, you can very much acquire as much good looks as you have the money to pay for.
All these people who criticize these shows are either jealous or talentless. Want people who say that hate theses shows ,DONT WATCH THE FUCKING CLIPS!!!
Yes. Definitely. I hate when people whine about how they're exploiting people. They're not. They're simply maximizing ratings on top of giving opportunities. There's nothing wrong with that.
this guy seems so genuine. You can see he's extremely nevrous but is hiding it well. Beautiful voice! Beautiful song!
OrFeAs Gr
Agreed. Too genuine for Cowell to realise, as Cowell himself is the exact opposite. Anyways, as STEALTH he is making really good music.
@@secondtimearound2539 .
Came here after news that Bill had passed. Bill you legacy lives on through all of us who keep your music alive. Rest in power Bill.
Amen to that 🌷🌷🌷
Who's Bill
@@ronbowlingjr6122 The original singer
@@perkar49 oh gawd..didn't know that :(
This rendition gave me goosies...

He did justice to that beautiful song.
Ghaniza S Yes he did
Ghaniza S and he summons all part of the leagues like bruce and clark
Ghaniza S Yea if this was American he would have added about bunch of crap sounds to make the song "his".
caseybv74 oh god i prefer when people keep it to the original
There's exceptions like any Bob Dylan cover, but when people say ohh and baby a bunch of times just kills a song.
It's such a shame we haven't heard more of him, he has such a beautiful timbre to his voice. Distinctive, strong and great power. Hope he is rediscovered soon.
What an amazing voice. This is the best cover of this masterpiece I've ever listened to. He's such an awesome and loveable singer.
Listen to roger ridley
Matt Anderson
Joe Cockers version brilliant.
SHAUN SMITH! Wow! This young man has a great voice! I'd buy this song tomorrow. I really liked his singing a lot! He has lots of talent and an excellent future in music!
Shaun has a great voice and does a great job with this song! This is a nice style of music for him. Hope to hear more from him in the future.
Excellent Shaun - one of my best ' all time ' songs , and you delivered it brilliantly 👌👏👍.
One of my most favorite songs EVER created by such a wonderful and talented Mr. Bill Withers
Did you ever hear the version of a young Michael Jackson...the best version I ever heard
@Corey well Horace Andy is the best version without any doubts.
I'm home alone, 11 at night all the way over in the US clapping like a fool because this kid is so outstanding. Brilliantly done.
He is very handsome, rugged and is a great singer! Totally enjoyed his performance
Bill, your contributions are appreciated by today's youngsters, which is truly a gift
I can honestly say that you have THE best live cover of this song that I've ever heard.
beautiful! no one expected this performance. that's what makes it so damn great!
What a pleasure to listen to ... great voice, great talent.
I was there when the First performance happened. Match That! This young squire brought it home! Long overdue. Well-kickass-done!!
Love it. He put his own touch, his own soul to it. It was emotionally stirring for me to watch.
Now that's REAL music and a freaking awesome voice... damn! He's got talent!
Well done young lad , you just nailed a 70's classic !
I'm Vietnamese, very far from England, but this song from the first time I heard it and to this day, it's still a wonderful thing. Thank Shaun Smith
I keep coming back just to hear you sing Shaun Smith. Your voice is amazing young man & I hope you have a wonderful career ahead of you xoxo
I want to buy your version of this song
It's 2018 and I still remember this audition ! GREAT JOB
Beautiful voice!! I almost cried listening to him sing that song. So amazing!!!
As soon as he starts singing I get goose bumps all over.
Beautifully done , he seems very humble. With his voice , he will accomplish what he wants , making people happy through music.
SHAUN SMITH! Shaun Smith has a great sounding voice! If he pursued music as a career, He would enjoy much success! Go for it Shaun. I enjoyed your performance!
Fun fact, the most repeated phrase in musical recording is "I know" 26 reps, this young man hit it perfectly!
Loved this guys tone and gravel. He also looks like a star. I would love to know what became of him.
Look him up on Google. It’s that easy. He is using the money he made with BGT to go to music school. Smart young man.
He got older. Hehe
His stage name now is Stealth - he’s got a youtube channel with that name
govand Thanks!
One of my more favourite Britain's Got Talent singer auditions. :D
This was the first time I'd ever heard this song and I absolutely loved it!
Another brilliant performance - You nailed it bro
Absolutely outstanding! tops bill withers version, Go on lad
I should be asleep by now. Instead, I’m crying. This moved me 😁 He’s a talented guy
One of the best songs ever .great 70s
He's s good. I half expect him to stumble on the 'I know, I know, I know...' part but he breezed through effortlessly. Brilliant
...
It is nice to see a youthful boy sing a classic song, and do it well.....very well
I was impressed by his singing and doing the song his way. I give him lotta credit for going out there and doing his best. Hope he continues working on being a singer.
That was well done young man.
My sentiments exactly.
I will never understand the physics behind British people loosing their accents when they sing
I have asked myself the same question
Akh you have to ask us we lose our language when we sing in English 😁😁😁
same here
Speech and song occur in different parts of the brain making accents more flexible.
same here
This young man is a doll! He has a lovely voice & I truly wish him well. He's no James Arthur of course. But my friends... NO ONE can sing like ♥️ beautiful James ♥️ ... who's incomparable voice is simply breathtaking... the most gifted voice in generations... THE Vocal Master Class.
🙏♥️🇺🇲✌
Loved this audition! Still do! Fabulous voice sung with such feeling! Great voice!
That's really good for a kid , he is 17 and can sing this song is awesome
Why are so many people bashing this kid? He's not the best singer in the world ,but he's pretty damn good. He's only going to get better.
Where are you Shaun Smith, still watching your rendition of Sir Bill Withers? I love your performance coz you are the best. No contestants so far could do what you did
This kid just gave me goosebumps!
That young man trumped that when I was a younger man that was one of my favorite songs I still love song well done
one of the best rendition. LOVE it!!
I agree with Simon. His hands in the pocket shyness helped soften his attractiveness and made him appear to be more about the music then his looks.
*than
This was so good and his friends being true lads and supporting him makes this even more heartwarming.
Bill is one of my favourites, but Shawn was exceptional...loved it...
Wow... superb.
I really love his voice.. deeply touched my heart.
I absolutely love this audition ... he's amazing. :)
For a young man fresh to the stage, (Perfection ) is the name of the game, really liked song and video !
Of course he's got soul. Beautiful tone of voice. First line he sang was perfect and he didn't falter throughout the whole performance!
the guy`s got an extremely powerful voice ! see the distance of the mike from his face and even then he can easily utter such a strong voice !!! great and marvelous auditions beautiful control over the voice with extremely nice singing !
Kids GREAT!! got the looks ad the voice.. hope he makes it big... he seems to just be one of those kids that you just Love!
One of the best version I have ever heard.
One word to describe his singing ......'wow' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
that was really emotional because when he started singing it was soooo beautiful his voice awwwwww
Where is this guy now ❤?
Can't believe it has been 12 year already!! I was huge fan when he first came out, wondering how is he doing now?
Its one of the greatest song out there and he covered it superbly
That's what I call an awesome voice!
Beautiful voice ❤
Well done 💕🤗
Closed my eyes he's an angel ❤❤❤❤❤
Humble guy, fantastic voice and adorable besides that 💞 He should go far
Very very good! Awesome performance!
Awesome Guy awesome interpretation. Very nice job!
Fantástico....... Uma voz com futuro promissor...muito bom....e ainda escolheu uma canção complicada..... parabéns
What happened to this young man? His rendition was soulful, powerful, amazing!
I understand he went professional under the name "Stealth".
Great version of the song. I hope he does well.
Really? This was like 5 years ago lol
Sean C Then what are you doing here?
Listening to an awesome audition.
What you said is like hoping the 2010 version of a car comes out soon.

The pure joy when he won, that was priceless.
Woooooww yeaa man. Excellent performance 🤩🤩🤩👏👏

One of my fave songs...love this rendition
MAJESTIC! Beautiful interpretation...
apaixonada por essa voz!!!😍
This was really good
He has an amazing voice. omg
where is he now!!! NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!
Nor are you. That doesn't prove anything. He sang well. That's the point of this video.
SteveBowen But am i a singer!! NO. Did i go on this show. NO. am i on a youtube video. NO.
Juan Pablo Of course i am. Do i care? NO
He's probably living his life somewhere.
He says he wants to make other people happy, so if he is he's probably being seen by them.
I doubt he wants to be seen by anyone else really.

God, help me. I'm falling in love with this guy names Shaun!

This guy killed the song. He has a beautiful voice. Congratulations
When something gives you goosebumps you know it has to be good..
Eu amo esta canção ❤
Bill Whiters é incrível

His voice is flawless! Seems like it takes no effort for him to sing amazingly :0
Its wonderful to know someone special that can do so well
Wow this is really good
I liked it, don't care about others opinion.
luv this song and her voice💘
2018 anyone? it's almost 10 years and God knows how time fly by
love this version of this song it rocks!
LMAO!!! The woman judge looked like she was going to jump out from her chair and have her way with that kid...looks like I need to learn a new skill.
Sure can't but tell that to the Bill Gates and Warren Buffets of the world if it matters.
As a matter of fact you can "learn", or at least acquire, good looks. Have you seen half of Hollywood? A lot of so-called "beautiful" people are hideous without their makeup.

Omar rifai he was talking about learning how to sing :/ are you that slow
Relax, don't get your panties in a bunch from a comment of a person you will never meet about an amazing singer you will never meet.

Yes. Definitely. I hate when people whine about how they're exploiting people. They're not. They're simply maximizing ratings on top of giving opportunities. There's nothing wrong with that.
Unique boy ! Love from Bulgaria ! ❤️
Looks like he is having a stomah ache... Wonderful voice by the way
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
