- I don't think I have ever received so many messages from people to check out a singer. SO MANY of you suggested that I do, on top of all my friends who did the same! And, I have to say, I'm really so happy that I did!
Innocent Masuku just seems like a stunning human being, to start with. Emanating such joy in his very appearance, speaking, and then in performance as well, it was just so good to behold. Then came the singing... which he also does with a focus and conviction that is really beautiful!
Join me as I analyse his semifinals performance of this very beautiful song from the 2000 film "Gladiator".

Now this is what I call a reaction! I so appreciate when a trained professional can provide a critique that is based on his/her own training and experience. Of course it is so easy to become attached to Innocent because of what a lovely person he is, but you really have gone above and beyond to provide background of what he is doing technically and why he should be regarded as a serious opera singer. And I'm sure you will want to react to his final performance, which was Nessum Dorma (what else!).
Wow, thank you for the lovely feedback! It really does mean a great deal to me when people respond so positively to my reaction videos. As I always say, my goal really is to help lovers of music and singing understand and enjoy it even more!
@JohanBesterYourVocalCoach I have decided to subscribe to your channel as I am learning so much from it. I like what you have just mentioned about choosing a song.
I agree it. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
Johan Thank you for the reaction, I enjoyed watching it 😁
Respect your honest opinion 🙏🏿
Innocent is the best opera singer I have ever listened to. Blessings to him.
His singing is effortless and his presence commands respect absolutely beautiful ❤
Agreed! Thanks for your comment 😊
Innocent simply the best opera singer I have heard in a long time sending all my best wishes to him for a prosperous future thank you for sharing your wonderful beautiful voice with us all.❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🤗
Never thought that, I would be jealous but I think I am, when I first saw him on his first BGT performance. I don’t want Innocent to be loved by others but me, an old grandmother. Now he is loved by the world. 💖💖.
He came 4th in the finals. For me he has a golden voice. So much purity.
He may have come in fourth, but the internet is talking about him, not the eventual winner. I’d say he came out on top!
@@EliStu680 Ridiculous, I'm not an opera fan...but he should have won! Period!
Innocent is the best , my winner ❤❤❤
Innocent Masuku. The man that deserved to win the grand prize needs no critique from anyone. He’s my winner and that’s my opinion.
He is a winner for me and he will make it where other will stsy where they are
I really do hope so! Thanks for watching!
The world greatest male opera singer is a Black African by the name of Innocent Masuku; so let it be written. Excellence! Reincarnated Black Royalty.
Ditto to that. African Royalty. Love it! Fellow saffa🎉
I did learn something, thank you. And I agree often the BGT or AGT, had Opera singer, they made it feel very cheap. Opera is above all music. I am not western’s born, I am just a grandma who discovered Opera and Classical musics only about 20+ years ago. And from time to time, I still do enjoying the 50/60/70 music also. But when I am in the car, I don’t listen to anything but Opera.
You are the best. We are proud of who you are and what you do. God bless you. ❤❤❤ from a former South African.
I watched Innocent's three performances on Britain's Got Talent, and I was blown away by his vocal control and stage presence. I believe, and some others have also commented on-line, that he has the chops to become a major opera star, maybe as big as Pavarotti one day.
Yes!!!
Elegante nel canto, nelle espressioni del viso, forza emotiva. Complimenti Innocent Masuku ...e poi cantare in italiano. Perfetto.
Grazie.
I love Innocent's voice, he radiates light, and his part of the BGT performances was amazing. BGT often overproduces the songs and the background music was a bit loud in some of them, but that is not to take away from the display and inspiration of his talent. At 17:46 Johan discusses the penchant for "people cheer for loud big high notes...it is disrespecting the music", and how he doesn't like it when regular singers sing arias not appropriate for them...especially children singing opera. I absolutely agree. Well said. And I agree that Innocent seems a beautifully likeable human being!
Innocent Masuku is very Gifted!!🙏
I think he came in fourth cos mostly young people voted
Like in USA
They know opera the least of all age groups and thus he didn’t win
A shame cos he deserved
The top prize.
I am almost sure he will go far in his chosen field
Good luck to you lnnocent!
You may be right... at least Innocent got incredible exposure through this!
Innocent sang in a choir in South Africa and he became the soloist of the choir.
Yes you are correct The light ❤❤❤❤
I am so glad you said that respecting the music is important, and I must say that I was a tiny bit disappointed that Innocent sang "Nessun dorma" in the final. Yes, I know, it is an operatic hit, and it has that sumptious orchestra and lots of high and loud notes. He sang it beautifully, not "over the top", but I still think that he could have tried something different - say, "Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd schön" from the Magic Flute. That's immensely difficult, but so poetic and moving.
Innocent has an amazing pronunciation
Agreed! Thanks for watching 🙋🏻♂️
Please capacitate him.... And let's make Opera fashionable 🙏🏽
Mmm... I couldn't agree more!
Excellent thank you,
Gostaria de vê-lo cantando junto com Andrea Bocelli. Seria um momento único, lindo e espetacular!❤😊
💥💥💥
Thank you for such a positive review
And thank YOU for the feedback 🤗
Amazing African!
No wonder this world is screwed up. He is just plain amazing. No adjective needed.
I was hesitant to write another comment, but I couldn’t resist...You Are appropriately named because your voice Is pure Innocent. (Innocence). Thank you, for blessing us with your gift🙏🏼
Please also listen to Dan Vasc singing Nessum dorma. He is a meta singer but classically trained. His meta is as fantastic as his other songs like Amazing grace.
I'll definitely check it out - thank you!
Well he aint just a singer from South Africa but is a PROFESSIONAL opera singer who has won many awards and sung for quite a few opera companies & productions around the world ... and he didnt just turn up in London for BGT but has been there for a few years singing with the ENO - English National Opera. So he aint no amateur as BGT tries to potray him to be .... and as you Mr Bester thinks he is by your analysis of his voice.
Okay... thanks so much for letting us know 🙋🏻♂️
But he is not Pavarotti... he can still improve, although being around for some time..
Always room to grow 😊
At NO point in time has BGT ever made it seem that Innocent was an amateur. The only thing the show did was to put his talent on display, which is actually what the show is about. However, some people tend to assume that it's only for the discovery of talented amateurs - which it is not.
@@tekmepikcha6830they did. Go and watch his audition again
I hear someone who has practiced and is mastering their craft… similar to you, in your craft of critique…he sounds like someone who has passion for what he’s delivering to us. 😊
WoW, at last someone who agree with me who are not an expert, but just love opera msuic. I hate it when people goes up there, escpecially kids and mess up the most wonderful music in this world. When Innocent started with Nessun Dorma in the finals, my heart sank, but he did it justice.
Masuku can sing hands down!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤desde Venezuela!
Thanks for watching 🙋🏻♂️
To the maker of this video i have a request. Here is my request: Could you please do a comparison video between Sydnie Christmas singing her cover version of Somewhere over the Rainbow during the finals of Britain’s Got Talent 2024 versus Loren Allred also singing her cover version of Somewhere over the Rainbow at the semifinal stage of the AGT: Fantasy League 2024.I would love for you to react to both performances in one video. In this video after listening to both performances one after the other i would love for you to compare and contrast the two performances by outlining the similarities and differences in their approach to the song and their vocal styles and abilities.This should be a showstopper.
Loved your reaction and analysis of the opera singer. MY niece is an opera singer with a Doctorate in music and currently teaches in the university level. I think she is a great singer.
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing 🤗
I think he came in fourth cos mostly young people voted
Like in USA
They know opera the least of all age groups and thus he didn’t win
A shame cos he deserved
The top prize.
I am almost sure he get far in his chosen field
Good luck to you innocent!
I'm sure he will! Thanks for your comment!
A little correction, since I’m Italian, but “nelle tue mani” actually means “in your hands”. Anyway it was just to let you know. Great video as usual man😊
Oh, thanks! I should have thought about it some more.... "mano" means 'hand', right?
Mano in Spanish. Mani in Italian@@JohanBesterYourVocalCoach
Yeah, awesome singer! He should have won BGT. No idea why he didn't.
At his original audition,Simon asked Innocent if people thought he wasnt good. Innocent replied that the worst comment was that Opera wasnt for him and that he should stop.
In this live performance Simon said that Classic music was snobbish and awful because of how critical and dismissive they were of Innocent.
Yeah... I don't always understand Simon 😅
I didn’t get what Simon meant .
@@eyram5098to me Simon meant that because innocent is black some people think that classical music like opera is beyond his understanding and ability.
나이스 대박
Would love to see your reaction to Dimash Kudaibergen, Your Love.
Dimash is incredible... have done several analyses of him performing - check it out on my channel. But, thanks for the suggestion, too 😊
@@JohanBesterYourVocalCoach I’m going to watch your Dimash reactions. Thank you 👌👌
He has an amazing voice but his vibrato is indeed pitchy. Also sometimes it is more difficult to sing soft and not belting the whole song. Would like if he shows us such skills. He indeed has loads of talent.
Great comment - thank you!
It comes with African opera. Used to attend old mutual choir competitions in South Africa and African choirs have very strong and not so soft tones as the European tones. We were born like that and our African songs will blow your minds I guarantee
@@godyrims I love African music. It is always a challenge to sing various cultures songs according to original tone. Only Africans can do African music justice.
Can someone tell me how far did he go, where is he and how is he doing with his singing career , really need to know
Absolutly d´accord with your opinion. Talent shows give opportunities to many. Unfortunately, instead of taking the opportunity to EDUCATE in music and REFINE people's EAR, they often fall into the television masquerade, in what "sells the most." (Although BGT is considered one of the most serious...).No, they did not give the award to Innocent. Surely the managers decided that some singer with a tear-jerking story, some child, or some freaky would "sell more"...
This is the unfortunate reality.... TV is TV 🤷🏻♂️
Who knows... 🤷🏻♂️
What does Andrea Bocelli think of this singer?
Hmmm... dunno... I have to ask him 😅
That's what Simon was talking about when he said classical music is awful...not in general, specific to past singers.
Have you heard of Dimash singing SOS...he is not just an opera singer. If you haven't heard him I suggest you watch Digital Dimash sing SOS.
Ooh yes... definitely very gifted. Makes the energy run down one's spine .❤
I have... that is out of this world!
with all due respect, you are splitting hairs. and I have always had to deal with this kind of criticism in South Africa, especially CPT. When you are "African" (as you said), they will not and will never give you your flowers, no matter how perfect you are. If I can be candid, you are just jealous.
I totally agree with you! This guy comes across so arrogant! As a professional vocalist myself for more than 40 years, vibrato is unique to the person it doesn’t matter where they come from! That was just an ignorant comment! You are doing nothing more than dissecting and nit picking his voice. And yes there is always room for growth, you could use a little yourself! Instead of enjoying this amazing talent, you come on here talking about his vibrato being common in Africa!
Just the look in your face is like you can’t wait to tare him down! Let me see you stand with him and sing,I heard your voice, I would advise you not to! Sir just enjoy this beautiful special man and keep your weak analysis to yourself! Thank you kindly…
Hawu
Perhaps you are not good enough. Pretty and numerous students of the UCT and Tswane University of Technology opera schools received many accolades , not only in South Africa, but all over the globe.
@@johannhammann894 Sir, admitting you have implicit biases impacting your work area is okay. Implying that he came across as a good singer because of his charisma is ridiculous!! Nevertheless, I wish you good luck going forward.
@@yanoswhisky-garlounge8113 This is bizarre. Jealous of what? People are normally jealous of things that they can have or want to have that they don't get but someone else is getting. In this case what is this vocal coach is jealous of? What does he want that he is not getting that Innocent is getting? Nothing to be jealous of because if the desire of jealousy is there IT IS BIZARRE and completely unrealistic. It's like me being jealous of Bill Gates having 70 billion dollars. Completely outside the bounds of reality. It is mentally disturbing.
Last comment unnecessary!!! I switched off the video at tgst point! Jealous!
I watched your reaction and I believe it became biased AFTER you heard Simon Cowell's comments. It completely changed and tainted the whole reaction. You wanted to suddenly end the video. Its a shame. Innocent was the focus of the video, yet your reaction to his vocals ultimatley I believe...my thoughts only, was hindered by the comments of Simon Cowell.
Let's get real here! We KNOW he has NOT had ANY PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE! He listened to those SONGS, LEARNED them & SANG THEM! This young man is AWESOME, with NATURAL VOICE & TALENT! How OFTEN does OPERA MOVES YOU the way Innocent sang those songs?
I DO APPRECIATE ALL VARIETY OF MUSIC, but mainly my listening is JAZZ, but when I hear a VOICE LIKE THIS, how could you NOT learn to appreciate OPERA, when its sang like an individual like INNOCEN?
He went to college and majored in classical music.
@@kathypeachs6847 Do you know that for a fact? I would think that the JUDGES on AGT would have asked him that while they were somewhat, interviewing him!
In addition, did you see the audition of the 55 yr old Janitor? Now tell me he went to some musical school to learn to sing as wonderful as he did! Oh, and what about that 5 yr old drummer, where did he obtain his awesome talent? We have MILLIONS of people who are BORN with these talents and many of them remain UNDISCOVERED!, it's why AGT is such a awesome show and how we get to KNOW, SOME OF THEM! GOD BLESS AGT! 😊😊😃😃😘😘
@@rebeccajohnson8579 I watched another video about innocent and I’m pretty sure it said he went to college and majored in music

Sydnie Christmas’s version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow compared to Lauren Allred, was horrible!! PERIOD! Also there is NO WAY that Sydnie Christmas came anywhere close to the performance of Innocent Masuku!!
