New York Subway Singer

[KChow83]

What a great moment captured...

[GtrGeorge]

Like a guy I saw playing Nylon string guitar one day in the Subway. The best feel I ever heard. I'm playing guitar 30yrs now and I reached in and gave him all I had (about 7 dollars). His CD was 8...hesaid its alright..smiled and said take it. Best 7 dollars I ever spent.

[GizmoMofo7]

i never forgot this man, truly has that soul vibe

[IKovuI]

I cried!

[HeartlessBast4rd]

In 2011 still watching this

[viksra]

I am SO VERY happy that this is the first video that comes up on YouTube when you search "nyc subway singer"... this is a *REAL* NYC subway singer!

[theorb21]

This is so emotional.

[Patrix542]

[DIego12Moctezuma]

theres all sorts of artist here in mexico too.. , more of mexican type music and .. styles but these guys and girls make gray cities like these colorfull and make your day.. worth wile.. :)

[gordura0220]

I saw this guy today, unbelievable!! I walked at least 1/8 mile down to the other side of the station and the farther i got, the louder it got. I swear i thought it was coming from the overhead speakers!! I tried to record but my phone was out of space... Keeping my camcorder in my bag so when i find him again...

[FLOWSECO]

@johnpubb88 no flaw wut so eva n he's doin it so effortlessly

[slackerjack72]

Give him a singing job, sign him up for a talent show or something. Talent like this should not go unheard.

[sfdee]

I wonder Carole King has ever heard of this doing her song? He really does do it with a lot of meaning.

The NYC baby

[banditj0ew]

[johnpube88]

what a talent! Too bad he's homeless because his voice is pure. To be totally honest, his voice has no flaws whatsoever.

[Vleesball]

[erwin92646]

[Rongotapaikura]

classic voice BEAUTIFUL cuz

[seldenkid]

Man he is good

[johnpube88]

this guys voice is special. You dont hear voices like that anymore. So much talent in NYC subways.

[MrOscarDaSilvaVieira]

that shit is haunting

[bschaf13]

he needs to be on broadway, not the subway.

[deweesmom]

Wow. He is great!!

[guitarninjaa]

i actually found this guy by accident singin the same song at astor place on the 6 line train station.

i told him i saw him on youtube and he didnt even say anythin...instead he asked for change.

i gave him 10 bucks.

not a lot you might say.

im thinkin not enough.

[veritas17]

I like it a lot.

[Miamisauce305]

This defines New York.

[thealiz2007]

@Miamisauce305 yesss that difines New York... I love NY but I can't live there... and the guy is amazing... love his voice

[masscio]

@Miamisauce305 This defines the World

[Xproletariatx]

Talent with no outlet to express itself but the nyc subway. In a different society, this man could take Britney Spears position. This is real talent. Unfortunately this is not the case.

[hannahjiyan]

I agree completely.

i love this talent that ... shines,

that doesn't need pr companies.

or voice changers or synthesizers,

people who just touch your heart with their talent :)

[TDotsouljah416]

heartbreaking i hate this kind of shit the world i such a shitty place

[kingny17]

before all you slow kids put any more "shame on you" thumbs down, i think he's just saying he hates the fact that real talent is often wasted like this.

[mrpower328]

One day things are gonna change for the better.

[Bennett1430]

omg I thought it said "subway sniper"

[kingny17]

hahaha....how do get away with sniping in a subway.

[aporargott]

Does anybody now the name of the song he sings??, Ciaao!

[jewdarican]

"you got a friend" by carol king or james taylor/ check out my skit with his voice in it

[aporargott]

thx mate

[AndrewLamar8875]

This guy needs to be signed

[jewdarican]

if u like this guy check out my subway skit on my page with his voice...its GREAT

[aporargott]

Does anybody now the name of the song he sings?

[aspirationsdream]

You've Got a Friend

[amandalevie]

that guy still sings around 68th street Hunter College on the 6 line...

[Rogsouza]

THIS should be on MTV. THIS is an awesome and inovative music video. Congratulations 4 u who did it.

[jewdarican]

true video and a true voice, as good as the original song "you've got a friend" i need to know when you taped this guy, and where in NY? luv the voice

[HearTheTruth]

I love the way the other New Yorkers just pass him by without giving him a glance.  New Yorkers are great.

[RocketRodder]

Hey now, don't stereotype just because you see a few people of one group act a certain way. :/

[HearTheTruth]

No stereotype, I lived in New York for 30 years, so I know. New Yorkers are great.

[RocketRodder]

Well, that's your opinion. My best friend is from NY (born and raised) and his family are the nicest people.. *shrug*

[wicha08]

oh god, he has a talent but nooo he has to be a junkie

[jewdarican]

not every homeless person is a junkie, sometime it is a death in the family that brings them to that point

[onyewu]

very nice

[ASTomlinson]

could do with some tempo but he's not bad

[spokk2]

Dig it. Sing it brother.

[Dig555]

awesome vpoice - pity that such talents need to sing in a subway station and that we need listen to crap on TV

[drale2k]

@Dig555 so true
