Neal E. Boyd Sings All By Myself - Top 10 Performance

[animeme12]

this guy is incredible! if a weak voice means he sux, all opera ive heard stinks too

[cupsniss]

I'm from Sikeston, Missouri. And today, I waved at Neal Boyd and he waved back while I was in math class. So, since I have never heard him sing before, I thought it would be nice if I listened to him sing

[LiveMusicExpressions]

He did wonderful classical-crossover rendition of this song. I'm amazed by his gorgeous voice !

[kamador627]

he totally ruined this song

[Berett50BMG]

Yeah Boyd!!

[wilko8698]

I definately agree with the judges on this one... Not sure if it was nerves but the intonation even at the end was a bit hard to take... Great voice otherwise with lots of potential

[LO2nVE]

Omg seriously! What were people thinkin?

[xjesse4ux]

no i didnt like his voice at all!

[zomblification]

How can you dislike this? Anyone who has an appreciation for music can respect the man's ability to sing. Even if you don't like opera.

[MrGoodbar1318]

@zomblification i disagree i have an appreciation for music but i hate this guys voice eli was way better.

[PirateKing1256]

He can't sing and his voice is weak.

[balves182]

Parabéns cara você mandou muito bem.

[SiiKgaming007]

Nuttin but stringz should have won.

[Fingerscrost]

Omg No power in his voice lisint to the audotion ?? you are nots man He is amazing !!

[EliT3man]

Did he win the competition because that's still amazing

[Notabeliber]

Ok he sucks...nuttin but stringz shoulda swept him away

[PirateKing1256]

Actually he's not good. Sorry just being honest here. No power to his voice. Not enough breathe to sustain the note. Very poor , average singer. I say.

[blakan3]

@PirateKing1256 When coming from people like you, that have no videos prooving any knowledge in the matter and just evalluate it in your own way.... i just simply either ignore or just tell you to fuck off.

I'm not going to do that since youtube is about giving your opinions aswell. Thus, i just wanted to tell you, that what your comment containts, looks/sounds like a 10 year old trying to be different by trying to give a constructive opinion that does not follow the whole "group's" opinion.

[PirateKing1256]

@blakan3 Then you can suck my cock. =D

[blakan3]

@PirateKing1256 And thus you show how you lack the intelligence, and decency to give us something to actually support your own opinion/statement.

[matrixinterface]

What is the piano tune in the background during the first minute or so? I know it sounds familiar but I can't place it.

[riyomagonzales]

"all by my self "because of him i sing this song

[ImmunityFighter]

Nuttin but Stringz should have won.

[benjamizzle7]

345 people hate the violin

[greeneyedlady5574]

God Bless you Neal!!!! You my young man are a gift from God and what a Blessing to your Mother!!!!! Congrats and the best of life for you!!!!!!BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[TheFruitcakeGirlz]

0:45

i know him!!! he was my honor choir director!! hes a really great singer and an all around cool guy.

ya... and neal deserved 2 win!! he is great!!

[xFrozenRain]

Fuck off all haters. 

[s1ckfantasy]

he's amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaazing

[dbdarrel]

Neal nails this song so well by knowing exactly when to amp it up. Just because you have great pipes doesn't mean you need to overpower a song.

[phantomeagle]

Nuttin But Stringz was great, but just a bit repetitive. This guy is stunningly amazing and certainly deserved to win. He was able to not just sing opera, but put his own touch on popular songs that aren't that easy to sing. Give this amazing talent a break just because you may not like guys who sing in an operatic style.

[carrieOconnor]

I like him. I give two thumbs up to people who can sing and play piano at the same time. I call this talent but I think singers should stay with American Idol and let other acts have their shot with unique talents that you don't see everyday on this show. None the less I still enjoy his singing.

[cristobalcolumbus71]

Far away from pavarotti! So far away...

[DaveG3214]

If he was a white tiny guy no one would give 2 shits about his voice at all, I'm not saying I'm better than him at all, just that he shouldn't be getting the praise that he is receiving, and did anyone else hear 3:10 at all? that was brutal.

[TheDevilsCompany]

@DaveG3214 U sing the song and we will see how urs comes out.

[lPlayForFun]

fucking PIG x( with hes opera go and sing at the wc x(.......Nuttig But Strings were the best they had to win

[TheDevilsCompany]

@lPlayForFun Die slow?

[sethadamlee]

its hard to make a transition from opera to more mainstream music. i didnt like this performance very much but he took a risk and i give him props for that.

[hopeannaemelea]

@sethadamlee

i didn'tlike this as much as his other songs He has a great voice but I think he should stck to operatic songs

[donderwindje]

he is not onley a great singer he is also verry cute i compare him with a teddybear i want to hug him<3

[josephgreene0807]

nicely put suspiria316, nuttin but stings should have won that year, his sob story's is y he won, his shit was just OK and that it, and i don't care what anyone says that shit was homo

[neufeld2007]

@josephgreene0807 your so blind and so wrong, this is pure talent, more than you'll EVER HAVE don't be jealous

[Suspiria316]

This was a huge upset to me, I think there were more talented people that season than Neal. There's a better opera singer that's hands down better this season. (Prince Poppycock) I think America based their votes more on his sob stories and tears. Kick rocks Neal!

[Trishalovesinging]

congrats beautiful voice rate up if u agree

[keetner]

As much as I respect the winners/contestants...I do feel like this show is just another American Idol lol.

[iwalkbesideyou2010]

My husband is a big guy. He is not overweight because he eats too much or he is lazy, he has a thyroid problem, born with enlarged heart, spline, & had his gaul bladder removed. It does NOT stop him! He is one of the BEST guitarist I have ever known & seen EVER! Please do not judge someone by their looks, YOU would not like it if people did that to you. What would happen if you were in an accident &you got fat becuz you could not do what you did before, or was disfigured? Think Peace, God Bless

[bigbrandon92]

Nuttin' But Stringz should have won

[YeezerSkeezer]

like i know he is a good singer in all but really? why is it always a singer that wins? 2008 and 2009 are both singers. this is america's got talent, singing is a talent dont get me wrong but there is something called uhhm whats it called? oh AMERICAN IDOL!!!

[AlexFan4Life]

love the song, love the singer. song+the singer= not so good. its not his style. stick with opera.

[umamafat]

Fuck AGT Nuttin but strings should won as peers said the winners need to have feeling and emotion common neil didnt make the song he sang nuttin but stringz did so FUCK AGT it was obiously rigged!

[TheKillerguy100]

@umamafat

Thats true

[Gothxha]

Wow, this is feeling right through!!!!!!

[cancunchubby]

i love this chubbyyyy

[wipidipip]

although i must admit that neil is amazing, i think nuttin but stringz should've won. it was a close decision but nutitn but stringz created a new and unique thing and everyone loved it when they watched it. neil's voice is VERY good but he was just singing. that's my opinion atleast

[andjar1993]

Actually he is a cute gentle giant

[joycebsm]

he's great and all, but i thought nuttin but stringz was better

[ragingmonkey64]

This just wasn't that good. If he'd stuck to opera he might have actually deserved to win.

[460maxx]

kaitlyn maher should have won. she is cute as hell.

[Theresidentassistant]

@460maxx Kaitlyn was cute and sang well for a four year old, but she wasn't amazing. You shouldn't win for being cute.

[PeterStorm81]

Eli Mattson definetly should've won. Neals good but he really made a shitload of mistakes. And with that i mean he sang the notes wrong, it was false.

And all you neal-lovers, i dont mean the whole song, only some parts.

But if you dont know much about music i cant blame you for making yourself look ridiculous. So please DO comment me, and proof me right :D

[RegineNoelle23]

@PeterStorm81 In my opinion, the worst part was at 2:34... But other than that, the slight chromatics that differ from the original aren't so terribly done. This show is about being original, about taking something and doing what you love with it and sometimes that means straying from the norm... Piers did tell him, "Next week, come with opera." And he did. I believe he deserved it. Hoff said it when he said, "You are what this show's about."

[ausparkles79]

Neal's good but he got the sympathy vote. Eli Mattson had the real talent.

[Miner40whiners]

amazing, this is absolutely amazing, i loved Eli Mattson, but him taking on this song won him this show

[XoXwhatXoX]

it sucks nuttin but stringz should of won

[davidhiz]

so bad :((((

[penhi12345]

it doesnt matter what he looks like the thing is he has a awsome talent that people have but this is different one with a long breath he's so amazing

(V)^^(V) crab

[rickmec]

I Just loved it...

[xGolfinhox]

coool

[domg1domg8]

ahhh wuuuut man... nuttin but strings should have won

[Drumroll418]

He's certainly not doing the basic pop rendition of this song, no. But that's the beauty of Neal's version of the song. It's unique, it's fresh, and it's NOT what you expected.

This is why he's got talent. Having talent is as much about knowing how and when to take a risk as it is having raw skills.

[veggyalpha2]

beautiful

[CMarieBennett]

awful

[pamlovsy2j]

he sounded beautiful. stop saying he was bad people It was wonderful and he's so sweet.

[tamithomas]

hes better with his opera songs than this

[olgap35]

my choir sang with a harpist that performed with him!

[DaFreakingBobMan]

come now you guys that are complaining all havbe a choice to eat a ton or not, i use to way 2:00 at age 12 i have already lost 66 pounds so shut your faces...literally

[MrHeadingley]

What a mess! He sounded like he had a funnel in his gob!

[MrHeadingley]

If tomorrow Ronald McDonald closed and I was nice and thin... I don't think that this would happen though, cos we've still got Burger King!!

[Chaos7677]

Oh my ears are bleeding.... how did he win... still haven't seen the final performance but as of thus far, watching from top 40 to here... I still don't understand....

[CelticLineman321]

Katelyn Mayher should have won

[mostwanted526933]

she suckssssssssssssssssssssssss

[paultym]

boy I can do it better and I am a terrible singer

[arhiesu]

ofcourse you can... as I can deadlift three thousand fucking pounds

[mycahman]

ive heard better

[bobicus3]

this is borin as hell nuttin but stringz shud a won they wer the shit ftw

[gokard9020]

this sucks

[Alienclot]

@gokard9020 ur a DICK!

[manualdemise]

We've all been guilty of accusing these contest winners of not being the right winner. Somebody else was better, they did the wrong act or song, etc... But America voted people and even though the show format needs tweaking, Neal won it. Just like this year's chicken catcher. Dude can't sing a lick but he won it all. And I really liked Kevin. But I knew after week 2 he was a terrible singer. Well, so is Bob Dylan. Sometimes it's the content of your song that wins it for you.

[IntoYoFace]

@ MinytySandwitchpunkassbitch

if i call"intoyoface" then i call it so and dont have to call what u have to say u punkass bitch!i also dont have to learn english at all because i dont live in usa!go and and kill urself motherfucker!

[sil3noz21]

his989 is tottaly right you dont have to be beautifull to be famous........pavvaroti was also ''fat'' with a legendary voice.......this guy also my friends ...

[his989]

I really don't know if any of these people who put harsh comments on this video understand the beauty of his voice and his own interpretation of the song. And, I hope people realize that he really had connected to the song, and that's what I call a fantastic performance. Great job Neal!

[anithono]

Agreed. Well done. hey, if he won, he won. and a well deserved win at that. so hating him and saying spiteful words on't change the fact that he won. Kudos, et bonne chance my young american vocalist.

[IntoYoFace]

unbelievable that this dick won the tournament...there was more better talented people!

[Alienclot]

@IntoYoFace (Y) !

[ohrook]

sounded monotonous at the start of the song... well on the verses... chorus sounded ok... nothin very impressing about it! nuttin but stringz should have won!!!

[Cablerz]

alright....

[cambuchaG]

MEDIOCRE

[TrexMA26]

very shaky.....really bad interpretation!!!

[SRSLover]

Shaky...

[Brainiac83]

Poor choice of song for him, but hes amazing singing opera.

[wowplayeryo]

People are to nice... This guy sure is good but this was trash his singing sucked and when she did opera it was to hold 1 sound when he said more.. No way people shoulda acted the way they did and judges shoulda been alittle more stern holding a note in opera twice in a song mixed with bad singing is not talent that shoulda won

[mkcmazo]

what a guy,what a personality,what a gentle giant he is. and wow what a fantastic voice.. he deserved to win this competition..

[pete130987]

if u were in his shoes nd u had his voice nd ur weight puts u off from doin things how wud u feel if other ppl commented like this

cum on guys give the guy a break

bein fat aint easy ano its his fault but give the guy some respect i wud give my arm to have his voice

put things into his prospect it aint easy at all n to be on that stage is very emotional it means alot to ppl to win this

nd to add my view bwt them guys with violins they will never ever touch a opera singer

[forbcs]

He still sucks

[Deepwoundjenna]

@pete130987 the way i see it mate, is .. he may be fat, but he can lose the weight and will still have this fucking great voice.. all these haters have nothing

[halllashalllas]

@pete130987 nice english lol...

[MagicksMage]

@pete130987 lol u said "cum on guys"

xD

[srmoffett]

this is a beautiful song and is sang beautifully!!!he has an amazing voice

[RozenklanZ]

nuttin but strings shud have 1 this ain't a 1 million dollars voice..nuttin but strings really shud have 1..they're wayyyyy looottt better..i wish they'll win more competitions and teach this guy a lesson..and all the people who voted for him..much respect for nuttin but strings..WOO..!!

[pnaypie71]

When he hit the high notes close to the end of his song that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Great voice

[konstantinadr]

sorry guys but i expect more from his voice...!!:-( nuttin but stringz was amazing!!!

[bibleutd]

I can't see why he won... He doesn't sing like million dollar winner...

[plfj222]

VERY NICE

[Diloreto21]

You're such a loser.. Seriously! Give the guy a break. He's an amazing singer, and no matter what the competition is, he'll never be a piece of shit. Don't be mad or jealous just cause you have no talent and he does!

[lalkal5647]

well too bad smart ass its not a talk comparing me and tt fatso its between nbs and the fatty i mean can u imagine fighting for a million dollar and tt obese inhuman juz stand there and shout his lungs and crying for pitines while the violin guys were moving jumping around sweating more losing more breath?! ok tt guy can sing but 4 amillion dollar u u juz shit some opera seriously man playing violin to tt level is alr hardcore i play violin i know and to add in those moves its SICK!!

[bushwacker04]

You cant really say who should have won. You have to think about it first. In Vegas, nuttin but stringz wouldnt be able to put on, like a 3-4 hour show, and keep people occupied for that long. there stuff gets old. Neal could hold off a crowd all day if he needed to

[lalkal5647]

u even saw the judges expression they were freaking shocked!! i the violinist is really something new!! if u have 2performance bet neal and nbs the situaion during nbs performance would be like more electryfying u can see for urself the crowd went mad even b4 they finish performing their stuff dont get old the judges even got more after every nbs and fighting for a million dollar gosh playing violin and doing those more moving stuff is more WORTH A MILLION!!

[Hardnick]

"im always the fat kid" nah u think?

[xJakeyBoy12x]

loool

[wantsomecoffee]

he's not that good. flat on almost every part.

[onlikedk]

not being rude, your probally tone deaf, neal e. boyd is the greatest operatic voice ive ever heard

[backdraftt]

He is a good guy, brilliant singer, and I think he can make people happy and smile. HE deserves avery single clap and every single dollar

[SchennsABeast]

completely agree

[ahbagagillion]

Wow... Just wow... I agree with the people who say this was horrible. He is an opera singer?? He sang this song?!?! Wow, Nuttin but Strings should have won. This guy is a joke, everyone wants him to win cause he was teased as a child.

[SHERIPOTH]

You just need a good ol punch in the face, wow just wow what a complete douchebag, I'm sure you hurt his feelings random interweb douche

[kouldeliee]

Horribleeeeeeeee, he sing like have a potato in his mouth

[gabbyisfullysicklol]

nnaaaa i like the brothers on the violin better!!

[KodarKodar]

same! i cry everytime i hear him, hear his stories and his amazing! WOW

[scrubs615]

everytime i see this man sing or just tell his story i cry.. and i dont ever cry

[JAPscorlion]

I also like the saxophone player who played it

[tchanabc]

he's awesome!

[rockinxl]

hes singing is all over the place.

[alexbyear]

His singing is average... he's a beautiful person especially cause is a mix Shaq-Pott :D

[legraian]

he sang this song FLAT....

[SchennsABeast]

"ill bring it"  lol thats beastly dude

[fulfilled123]

the best ever love Neal so much. America just be proud.

[ZeppelinAerosmithNY]

Neal you are awesome

[looloocal]

is it just me or does he SUCK !!!!

[philipredboy]

The start is very inspiring

[bradrowsell]

this guy is good but no way should he have won this competition. If this was American Idol, we would have been kicked off long long time ago

[xyoorch]

its true

es verdad es verdad

[myfootislong]

man there are no words to describe you ................you are just amazing

[ALI0UK]

neal you are fantastic man .god bless u

[Phaedrax2]

Have just been listening to Donald Braswell and came to see who had beaten him to the crown, well, what a disappointment! Not a good choice of song :-(  this time Sharon was right in her comments ( must be a first ;-) )

[iamisaid61]

I came to check out who beat Donald too - sorry I just don't get it - sounds out of tune in places to me. Each to his own but I think Donald has an amazing career ahead of him.

[xWoradio]

your an immature idiot.

go to hell

[stemcc3]

I think hes amazing

Anyone that can do opra is amazing yano

But my personal favorite is Eli

I feel he should of won because he has more talent

Im not sayin hes better you can't rely compare two artists that are so different

But eli is passionate and writes his own music instead of just singing as well as being able to play an instrument and play at the same time

We dont always remember or recognise that doing that takes alot of talent

So yeah hes good but Eli all the way for me :) <3

[tadej1995]

he was never lonely, he just didnt know the right ppl to be with ;)

[hansie123]

This is a really average performance... Eli is so much better

[LokiRagnorak]

LOL folks plz don't respond to that crap. Chaz has been blocked.

On to next he is amazing and God loves...gives ppl like him these talents

[cancerish]

Chazranman.. are you jealous? because this's the second video for Neal i see you writing the same shitty comment about him being morbidly obese! can't you just accept the fact he's better than whatever you could ever be? i am not his fan! but he's simply a great artist, and you are an internet hater! grow up!

[Chazranman]

Yeah I'm totally jealous. Yeah I will never even be close to his stature, I am a complete loser. Wow you have amazing insight.

[chixxa514]

Okay Just Shut Up . Look The Weight Or annything it's not important it's his talent -_-' and if You DOn't know he Has Talent Just shut Up !

[bicobotscho]

ok, eli did much better than this. sorry.

[loveopera2]

i didn't like the way he kept playing on everybody's sympathy. he doesn't show any manhood. and this was a bad song for him

[sup1345]

opera is about beauty, not how big your dick is, asshole, he did this very well

[MattStajanRocks14]

no he isnt

[WOstach]

Jestes w deche :-)

[likecatsbrittany]

Nuttin But Strings should have deffffffinetly won.

[blueskypictures]

You've got it made Neal. Enjoy.

[KeyKey10Leech]

I think Eli was so much better than him

[allendalewilliams]

But Neal is very very good,from Oakland California.

[craftiestcraftstress]

thankx for the music,you are a beutiful man
