Per la gloria d'adorarvi by Giovanni Bononcini - Samuel Waters tenor 3/10

[BlackbladeGreenscale]

This is from two years ago, for a kid with less than a year (I think) of vocal lessons, this is extremely impressive.

lovely voice! I'll be preforming this fore competition soon. you'll be glad to know I'll be practicing "with" you for a while until my choir teacher has time to teach and play for me

[salina0416]

you were 16....omg lol. Hooooow??????

[larue0509]

To add on... ... You also looked kinda funny looking with your hand and EYES up! ... But like I said, You were great! Don't let haters get you down!

P.S.

Hope I'm not one of them! LOL! =~}

[larue0509]

I really enjoyed you! You helped me learn this song! Because I have to sing it tomorrow morning! LOL!

[THSChoir]

Dynamics are a beautiful tool. However, you used none. Your high G's were WAY too blatty. You aren't a lyric tenor, so don't try to imitate one. Your voice is nice, obviously, but technically you could have worked a lot on your ending phrases. A lot of the time they just died off. Work for vibrancy in all of your voice, not just your high register.

@THSChoir You are so rude.

[THSChoir]

@jacobrogers18 I'm honest...there's a difference.

[larue0509]

@THSChoir I didn't think you were rude even thought I DID "Thumbs DOWN" your comment! You just tried to come with the some constructive criticism! You came ENTIRELY the wrong way!

He was actually excellent! You didn't need to tell him what he is and isn't!... ...

Although' The Guy singing: Just something I hate about most "Classical" singers is that you didn't move at all, whatsoever. You moved your hand yes, but it seemed as if it were a tool to get you to those notes up there, but not needed!

[AmaysingTV]

@THSChoir I would've agreed fully but you could have worded that better. And second, I don't think he was trying to imitate a lyric tenor. . .I don't he gives a flip about that at all. I think he's just trying to get through the song. . .

[ShmizzyMcGriddles]

Your timbre is gorgeous.

Superb, Samuel. My parents and I were transfixed. I'm really looking forward to hearing you in person soon.

I tried to post a comment before (on the videos Jim posted earlier) but couldn't figure out how to do it.

Fine performance, Samuel. You seemed much more confident this second round, and the musical/vocal line flowed nicely. Bravo. Looking forward to round three, and to hearing you in the national competition at JMU.
