I didn't like the piano arragement... too modern... I did like the boy's voice and how he sung the song. The damn piano was much too loud tho. It would be nice if the voice was featured rather than the blaring piano. Still, 5 stars for the singer. Nice job.
Where you ever Oliver? You would make a good one. But you don't have the face that makes people feel bad for you. Nor do do you have the accent but very very good.
oh, I forgot to ask you. Have you tried joining a choir before? You should check out some good ones. :) I can imagine you as a soloist already. Though I see your voice has changed, but still, it's still worth a try. :)
Nice higher notes, bit unsteady but amazing for a boy :D very clear and loud, too. However, some of the words and consonants, especially the low-pitched ones need to be re-enforced and sung a little louder.
Very beautifully done- I love the dramatic expression he has in everything he does. My ten year old son sings this, but he isn't much of an actor! (We actually posted it, but he is very stiff in it.) When does the voice change thing happen anyway? I suppose it's different for everyone.
Hi Mismindles--I am a big fan of your son. He did a great job on this song considering it was midnight. My favorite song of his is Colors of the Wind and always brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for posting and we'll all look forward to hearing more great songs from Nehemiah.
hi alpine! Thanks. He is having a bit of a hard time right now- going through the voice change-bummer. Right now he's focusing on TheNemiShow and he sings a little on there, but nothing serious like this song. thanks for taking the time to leave a nice message. :-)
knee-uh-my-uh. I love his name. he was going to be a "Dakota" until I went to my sonogram and the nurse told me she'd seen a lot of Dakota's lately so we decided to pick something biblical instead and I'm really glad we did because I have fallen in love with his name. thanks for the nice comment. :-)
I'd agree with that- he picked this song one night after 10:00 pm and decided to sing it, even though he'd never really worked on it & we recorded it around midnight (as you can see behind him it is pitch black outside) so yeah- he knows it could have been better, but hey, it's just for Youtube. When he used it for an audition he did it much better. thanks for the comment.
Just some advice, I had to endure the harshness of a voice teacher so here it goes. He needs to put more support to his voice, its too windy. Also, his vibrato sounds forced. I hope I am not sounding harsh, but if he puts support behind his voice, he will be ace.
way to keep your cool....some people are just dumb. your kid has talent. I heard him sing "all the colors of the wind" he did a fantastic job. bet he has a bright future...just make sure singing isn't all you have him concentrate on.
I needed to find a song for my musical theatre voice class at ochsa and when I saw this video I immediatly thought it was perfect to sing! Great voice kid!!!! Keep singing and thanks for the help!!
He takes dance, but he's only been dancing for one year. He has a dance on here, but it was when he just started. He has a recital this weekend so I'll be posting that soon. We were so impressed with you! Wow, we watched ALL of your videos in amazement!
Why isn't you son trying out for broadway? I mean I know he's very young, and needs schooling first and foremost, but he is amazing! Especially for the 'Oliver' character! :)
This is Gene Biscontini! Thanks for the nice comment on here.
Nehemiah, great job! As a former Oliver on the national tour I give you 2 thumbs up, you would have been a shoe in for the role! Keep working, practice hard, and by all means work on becoming a "triple threat", dance, sing and act! Develop you breathing a little more so that you don't sound so strained on some of the higher notes. Good luck with your career!
i totally missed this comment till now. thanks so much. Nehemiah will be so excited when he sees this comment! The national tour? that's pretty exciting! I watched your dance- it was fabulous! Nehemiah actually had better breathing on "Colors of the Wind," now his voice is changing so he's learning to play guitar and started a youtube show. he takes dance and has done a lot of theatre, (professional & community) commercials, and independent film so he's working on becoming a triple threat. LOL.
Get a new piano track! The piano rhythm is horrible! Too fancy for a beautiful straight 4/4 ballad as this should be. Poor Nehemiah had to adapt his wonderful voice to that lousy piano arrangement.
Hey, Nehemiah ! Your on key, have excellent rythem, didn't miss a beat either. Nice vibrato as well for such a young lad. Your voice reminds me of the boy "Ben" in the young English lad group, "The Choir Boys". Keep your head up high and never give up. Your going places.
Very impressed Nehemiah. Melinda, my name is DJ. I started a channel recently for young youtube talent to come together across the world making fun collaborative videos. Take a look at the channel and let me know what you think :) I highly respect the fact that you moderate your son's account and keep a close watch on things. YouTube is a haven for hate, it seems. There are ways to combat it though, and that's what YTASK is all about :)
I'm not sure I know what you are talking about? If you sent me an email, youtube is not sending messages well at all, so please leave your question in the comment section on my youtube home page.
No doubt Nehemia could go along way with his talent. However, I hope he never compromises his integrity on the way. Like so many have done. Ozzy osbourne started out like this.
As a former "Oliver" myself, well done mate! It's a tricky song to get right and you've got it good.
It's actually easier and sounds better when slowed down a bit, Joseph McManners did an excellent version that's worth a listen. Let me know if you can't find it, I'll send you a copy (",)
