    Week #2 of #CoversForCalories went off without a hitch! My sincerest of thank yous to all of those who have participated :) Because of your dedication, we've already gotten "Chandelier" and now, "I Dreamed a Dream"! This was....an exhausting cover for me x) I think I've avoided this cover for some time, because I didn't want it to come off as contrived or fake, ya know? This is just, such a powerful, and doing this without really throwing yourself into it just feels like a sin against man lol So, I've been holding off! But, because of #CoversForCalories, because of YOU GUYS, I could run away from it no longer. I hope y'all enjoy, and keep on sweating people! #CoversForCalories is FAR from over ;)
    As always, so many thank you's for continuing to support me on my musical journey. If it weren't for y'all, I probably wouldn't be able to do this as frequent as I have been able to :) I hope to keep to an even better schedule as the summer goes on, and STAY TUNED for some special announcements coming up in the near future~

    I dreamed a dream in times gone by
    When hope was high
    And life worth living
    I dreamed that love would never die
    I dreamed that God would be forgiving
    Then I was young and unafraid
    And dreams were made and used and wasted
    There was no ransom to be paid
    No song unsung
    No wine untasted
    But the tigers come at night
    With their voices soft as thunder
    As they tear your hope apart
    And they turn your dream to shame
    He slept a summer by my side
    He filled my days with endless wonder
    He took my childhood in his stride
    But he was gone when autumn came
    And still I dream he'll come to me
    That we will live the years together
    But there are dreams that cannot be
    And there are storms we cannot weather
    I had a dream my life would be
    So different from this hell I'm living
    So different now to what it seemed
    Now life has killed
    The dream I dreamed.

    My reaction watching this:
    00:57 Nice beautiful start! Very emotional and controlled vocals
    1:16 fantastic controlled vibrato as always
    1:46 okay NOW were getting somewhere! Vocals are getting more powerful by the second
    2:17 still can't believe that someone with a tenor voice like Caleb's can hit notes that far in the Baritone range
    2:28 No goosebumps yet but they are on the way. And great breath control!
    2:53 Here comes the emotional delivery of songs that I know and love him for!
    3:03 pretty damn impressive but I know what you can do Caleb... When is this going to kick off?
    3:10 THERE IT IS! Holy FUCK what a transition from a baritone to tenor range! I feel like someone poured ice water over my back with the chills I got, and the goosebumps are now completely covering my body... Caleb never fails to absolutely amaze me.
    3:23 I already know this is going to be stunning... what a surprise, it was!
    3:31 I would give my left testicle to be able to sing like that
    3:36 if this was a broadway or film version, I would already be standing up applauding by this point
    3:52 Cmon Caleb... big finish... NAILED IT!
    4:00 great acting and one of the most emotional endings to this song I have ever heard...
    Holy hell Caleb you dominated that. Probably my favorite version of that song I've ever heard!

      Caleb is not a tenor. A 1st or 2nd baritone at best. Good range, but not a tenor. He’s screaming the top end, that’s not control. Emotional- not control. Overall a good performance for a male singing as a female lead.

      There was a time when men were kind
      When their voices were soft
      And their words inviting

  • @hansi6119
    @hansi6119 9 лет назад +166

    Let me tell you something. I am familiar with pretty much every Fantine and every version of this song. My favorite lyric is "But there are dreams that cannot be..." because it basically sums up my past with a certain person who could never love me back and how it destroyed my life, hence my attraction to "I Dreamed a Dream". Anne Hathaway's performance is the only one that could make me cry, because of how she sang that line, all of the raw emotion behind it. She was the only one who could make me sob. Until today. I was pretty nonchalant listening to this song until you sang that line, and it was like feeling my heart wrenched out a second time. I immediately doubled over crying. And it is because of your emotion, your power and understanding of this song. And I have to give you the biggest bravo I have ever given, because you have captured the soul of a song, which is a very rare gift. So thank you for your talent, and truly, well done. This is the highest compliment I could ever give.

      @CalebHyles  9 лет назад +39

      hansi6119 Wow! I am truly honored and humbled by your response. Thank you for the wonderful critique and taking the time to encourage me in this way :) Anne Hathaway completely OWNS this song! In a way no one else has. It took everything in me to NOT think of her performance while singing. Even still, I was heavily inspired by her performance, and I hope it captures that spirit. Thank you again for the support, and I sincerely hope that you are in a better place then you were before :)

    I love how you didn't just sing the song; you performed it. In a lot of covers I've seen, people just focus on hitting the right notes and sounding good but you conveyed the emotions behind the song excellently. You captured Fantine's bitterness perfectly- which made me cry like a baby- and I also love that you didn't change any of the pronouns. An excellent cover :)

Today my beat friend has lost someone very dear to her (again for the 3rd time this year) and right now I'm waiting in the rain listening to it again as I wait for our friend to pick me up and take me to her, so that we can listen to this song together... I hope that anyone who took the time to read this will stay warm in this cold winter, stay dry in this rainy weather, and have no tears shed for unnecessary loss.

    This cover is so emotionally draining to listen to. I just absolutely love it! You give it so much justice. Hell, you do it even better than the original! Better than Susan Boyle's version as well. You have an opera singer's voice. You drag me in and make me feel amazing, complete. This song fills me inside, giving me shivers! I am absolutely in love with your voice! (Plus you're extremely handsome to boot, so it makes watching the video nice also. ;) )
    You have the voice of an angel; keep singing man with the golden voice. 💖💖💖

    You should probably do more Les Miserables covers.
    Also, you should do a cover from Doctor Horrible's sing-a-long blog :) you could make it sound great!
    Ps. You should also do Rocky Horror picture show. And Sweeny Todd and and pretty much every musical would be good.

    My compatriot. How, ...why would you put so much emotion into this? Did you truly want me to weep? Lost love, memories, years ago. I blamed myself for it all, the fights, the cold nights, her abrupt departure. It took me years to understand that she had her own demons and that it was her fault for leaving and nothing I could have done would have kept her in my arms....Took me a long time to accept that, even now it stings as years feel as days since she gave me a smile and left. Be careful with that voice, such a gift should never be wasted. Thank you.

    Acting is spot on, broadway worthy if you ask me. The song was a tiny but pitchy in some parts but I think it helped add to the emotional levels of the song. Honestly really love this cover ^_^ the last les mis song i remember you doing was "bring him home" a few years back, and I'm glad you've done another!
    I hope the calories for covers is going well!
    Peace, love, metal~! ;)

      @danielnavarrete8670 5 лет назад

      One suggestion. Small one. Too much drama emotionally does help to achieve vocal intentions, but combined with a little more theory training about the shape of the mouth and tongue and lips and the sounds that they produce with each vocal would be good too
