GLEE - "Home" (from "The Wiz")

[KBallelli]

Holy Sh*^  That was amazing! I wasn't sure at first about it being that deep, but wow...that was great!

[datstudbabyboy]

I JUST GOTTA SAY DAT DIS SONG WAS ORIGINALLY SANG BY STEPHANIE MILLS

[missygurl12345]

@datstudbabyboy let em know

[samstorch1]

GREAT!!!!!!

[carlajc18]

Great job!!! Especially impressive how you were able to sustain the note at the end. I give voice lessons and think I've just found another example of certain vocal techniques demonstrated. You are very vocally talented and express the emotions of the song perfectly (and playing the piano too...go head!!!)

[FireAllianceNX]

You were fabulous! Amazing singing.

[nubiab29]

AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[gplus46]

That was great, especially since it was finally clear at the end that you were also playing the piano as well!!!

[Tebigong101]

Handsome and he sings!

[lilaznshorty883]

You would make a great Disney prince singer lol

[dzelxxx]

can't stop listening to it!!!! it hypnotize you from the first three cords!!!! ......

[JayOceans2006]

Thank you for sharing this awesome song. I have been looking for songs to sing in Australia's Got Talent - and this song always comes back to me - You have done a most wonderful job! Inspiring, easy to listen to, just beautiful! Blessings to you!



[ConfidentBabi25672]

I love your voice it's beautiful dnt mind the haters actually you need them... BTW i really think that both the The Wiz and The Wiz of Oz are amazing movies... But i feel if you like soulful voice like this one for instance... I Think You should Watch The Wiz but The Wiz of Oz is an okay movie too...

[dementis93]

I get to sing this for our own Wizard of Oz play. I'm playing Dorothy, and I'm really looking forward to it.

[batgirlsucks]

nice

[dnanidreffmc]

By the way, Manny Garcia, you look Asian, your name is Hispanic.

Are you Filipino?

If you are, I'm mighty proud of you!

[dnanidreffmc]

Gosh, you sing so well, you ought to be on a stage somewhere.

I wish you all the best in your musical journey!

[SteveAndrade623]

That was both beautiful and amazing. On tempo, pitch, emotion, no excessive vocal runs...sung the way it was intended and written. You picked the perfect key to sing in which leaves out any strained sounds, sharps or flats. And your voice have a great tonal quality that makes it such a pleasure to listen to.

Your voice is YOUR gift and you chose to share it with us. Thank you.

[somecallmeblue]

Why is there not a love button? Wonderful just wonderful.

[nicoledaniellebooth]

ah i'm in New zealand travelling and this is just brilliant hit the nail on the head.

[mmutzu]

OMG!!!! You're amazing. You should have been on "the Glee Project." Damn buddy...hit hollywood and make somethign happen.

[maxhalls]

~that was unexpected. o_o am impressed. keep it up. ^_^

[damon12354]

OMG!!!!!! THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!

[RonRonAngel1]

Good Lord, I need to go Asian~! o.0

[AZparkranger]

Wow. You have an incredible voice, and sing with such passion. You definitely have the 'It' factor. Found this by accident. I never comment on these things, but I just needed to give you props. If you ever visit Phoenix, I would love to meet you.

[amsterdm]

Your right michaelallens, but stil the voice is beautiful. Would love to hear him sing grooner songs

[michaelallens]

This song  belongs to Diana ross , no one can do it like her

[vegasbaby92]

@michaelallens - No honey, it BELONGS to Stephanie Mills, who sang it way before Diana Ross. Do your research honey.

Now I love Diana Ross, just saw her in concert this past May, but Stephanie Mills sings this song way better than Diana Ross.

[627801srb]

mate your voice is BEAUTIFUL!!! this is amazing!! just wow! xx

[trevor2987]

I have fallen in love with you! You have a beautiful voice! Definitely a guy crush! Ha!

[im3ngs]

That was quite impressive!!

[mariapatajko]

very good

[dzelxxx]

To be honest I was looking for a version done from a man in this song and I am really happy he has done it... and you know what it doesnt hurt to listen to him, he is really good and I wish that he will make it one day..!!! If is good.. Of course.. did you see how he hold the last note 16 times... he is realllyyyy!!!! GOOOOODDDD...

[PurplePulse]

I love you <3 You are just amazing <3

[odamio]

You are a true talent. God bless you! My respects all the way from Mexico.

[itsmoo2k]

YOU AMAZING !

[YouWereBornToServeMe]

I see the disliked comment up there. And to be fair, some songs require the power from a black individual. They can often belt much richer notes, but not in every case, such as Mariah. But still, you did great :)

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

@YouWereBornToServeMe That his nothing to do with the color of a person's skin, it has to do with a person's training. If one is trained properly, then he will be able to sing this correctly.

[YouWereBornToServeMe]

@AtariMaxiToriyama Well, it does. You can hear it. And, this was sung well, it was sung correctly, it just wasn't as GOOD as others...

[johnrg6531]

Home is one of fav song, I like your version, Keep it up. by the way where you from? you look like an asian!? are you?

[brbfapping]

[SamLikesToSing]

[GTFORCE77]

Wow... awesome rendition. Bravo

[hiewiemichael]

[Elandiro]

[evyaira]

[DavDaBass]

That was really really good! 

[abenji7474]

Blew me away!

[nicolettta3]

[wricks072]

[hugebelle]

[BwayBoundChristian]

...crying. This is so beautiful.

[AutumnTheMagic]

[musicmyway18]

[DavePleaseBehave]

Hmm. I wasn't sure what I was going to think about this, but you have a soulFULL voice! DAmnnnn! Love it! Not trying too hard. (:

[jlkpatt]

Son of a bitch. I envy you.

[JamessssKim]

and please keep posting your amazing voice, wanna see it more.

[JamessssKim]

is it that important whether the song is sung by black or white? I think your song is just incredible in that I can feel your emotion, power, and passion blowing through the moniter. I wanna let those who criticize or still believe the original is best know that when music is mixed by biased eyes, then it's not at all music anymore. cause it's originally made to express one's "own" feeling, not to be close to the first one.

[NippyJaws]

Wow, you took my breath away with this version... Well done =] x

[dramakidd247]

@ebgarcia3 IM DOING THIS SONG FOR MY SCHOOLS SOLOS CONCERT IFI GET IN AND IM DOING IT IN Eb SO IM ASSUMING U R A TENOR ANY POINTERS TO ANOTHER TENOR

[FireAllianceNX]

Wow, your voice really surprised me. Great job on this song!

[xoxopatty19]

@MrBoudreaux65 wait.. when you say "us" do you mean they're more ignorant idiots like you? well, that sucks.

[GVirus14]

Awesome, guy! You have incredible talent, and are a credit to the musical community!

Would you be awesome enough to provide the sheet music for this arrangement of the song? I would love to have this version; it flows almost better than the original, and is guy-friendly. Not to mention, it is one of my favorite songs ever and I would love to perform it one day, and this is the perfect arrangement to do it. :)

[angelman51266]

Wow, beautiful voice!!

[dramakidd247]

What key did u sing this in?

[beffcow]

@dramakidd247 Eb

[dramakidd247]

@beffcow thanx hon im singing this and i think im doing it in a higher key and i love it

[Daviddeux]

Nice job.

[jawolfpack12]

What key are you singing this in?

[beffcow]

@jawolfpack12 Eb

[ferdyfen]

nice voice....hope someday we can sing this songs togetherr...i really like this songs..:)

[olifiggsify]

this is amazing. i have to admit when i first saw it i thought you were going to have a high voice. instead you have a really nice low voice. i find this song hard to sing because im also a guy but my voice isnt low and isnt too high(though it is pretty high) because im 12. its especially hard because i do the kristen chenoweth version with the really high note at the end. But anyway this is wonderful!

[iEditUsee]

you'r voice is bueatifull ;D x

[javelle2941]

great job wonderful voice

[MissChelseaFlores]

I am in love with you.

[12dankingers34]

WOW!!!!!! nice work Manny

[skribbleraynebows]

This is truly brilliant.

[musiclover20ish]

that was truely A M A Z I N G !!!!!!! LOve it. You sound like one of my favorite artists, John Legend. Awesome!

[jaymkong]

very powerful voice you got there. just work on your breathing technique (and diction too). but in general, it's good.

[corp55555]

WOW!!! I really enjoyed that. Thanks ... dave in austin, texas

[Earthmage]

As always, love your vids and I love your cover of the song. Mega thumbs up :-)

[ravel4190]

gay?



[dyoys500]

@ravel4190 i think he is...doesn't bother me...he's good though

[spidereclipse]

You're too cute. I love it. Keep singing man! Passion :)

[mzturquoize2u]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooow! bomb!!!!

[justadayofmusic]

enter my glee cover contest

[charlescerafica]

being thankful of what you have is the way to being happy in life and being happy of what others achieved.....

as a voice coach.. it's TWO THUMBS UP!!! in every administration there will always be opposition......... lol....hehe

hey bro!!! they are your biggest fanas... because they are spending time just to watch and comment on your videos...... hah

[charlescerafica]

insecurity comes... if you don't have a thankful heart....... i think this video is nice...as a voice coach... it is indeed a good rendition....... let's forget about the race......... the sun shines to rich and poor/... equally.....

our talents were handed down to us to complement with the talent of others........ and whether you like it or not...... JUST BE THANKFUL....... that's it....

[OMARELIAS31]

I love this song thankssssssssssssss!!

[radrider82]

didn't like it...seemed forced, dude. I felt no passion whatsoever. You seemed focused on hitting those notes (which you did nicely), but with no passion or soul, it's no good.

[MichaelIrvin88]

OMG, Dude no matter what race you are You can SANG...I gues people just don't see you race sing like this that often so they think it's not possible. Well I am black and couldn't hold a note if you placed it in my hand. . N E Way...you sung it the Gleee way, do you think you could sing it the way Stephanie Mills did? If so could you post it for me. Now that I saw this I am going to look for more of your songs. You really Rock dude.

[12dankingers34]

mate, your voice is wicked. Was watching "have yourself a merry little christmas time" thats the best i have ever heard it sang. Nice work :)

[eujans]

Wonderful rendition!

[LittleBoiFen]

What an incredible voice...

[MrBoudreaux65]

@seansocheap umm i never said she was and for me i think she ruined the song ;)

[seansocheap]

This cover is beautiful. It's great to take a break from listening to the more theatrical covers of this song and just listen to pure emotion :)

[MrBoudreaux65]

Not bad for an asian.. but still this is a black song. leve it to us. nice work anyway :)

[ebgarcia3]

@MrBoudreaux65 You can have any opinion you want about me, that's cool. Thanks for watching either way. But it's sad & ignorant to believe music has a color. That's the beautiful thing about music, that it transcends all kinds of boundaries. If you believe people should be performing certain styles based on their race, go talk to people like Bobby Caldwell, Yo-Yo Ma, Kathleen Battle, Hootie & The Blowfish, Eminem, Christina Aguilera, Far East Movement...tons more. Thanks for watching!

[ryan197888]

@ebgarcia3 Your so right! Black or White Asian or spainish you did a wonderful job with soul that is all that counts!!! hats off!!

[bluekangaroo43]

@ebgarcia3 I entirely agree, I stumbled across your music on youtube, I purchased your album on Itunes and I would like to say this is some of the best original music I have heard in a LONG time.

please keep posting,writing and releasing new material, i think think the word I am looking for is, inspirational.

[MegaPhantomFAN]

@ebgarcia3 I haven't watched the video yet, but you said something that has been in need of saying...People say some stuff about me like that....WE CANT HELP THAT THEIR JEALOUS OF US.....Like they could do better...THANKS MANN....!!!!!!!!!!!!

[seansocheap]

@MrBoudreaux65 Kristen Chenoweth isn't black. Did she ruin this song? I don't think so ;)

[vancouverdan]

@MrBoudreaux65 I was checking out Youtube for this song and came across this video.....

This guy has a beautiful voice. (Period)

Your comment is simply racist.

I hate to break it to you....... but..... there's no such thing as a "black song"

Open your eyes and your ears.

[ideheights]

@MrBoudreaux65

If you'd heard this on the radio, you'd have no idea whether he was black or not... 2011 is coming; isn't it time to stop all the compartmentalizing we do?

[azemclassof2012]

@MrBoudreaux65 will u post a version of you singing the song

[sunfire1975]

@MrBoudreaux65 this is a black song? since when did a song become black, white, brown......

[quadtech888]

@MrBoudreaux65 Shame on you! You can't even spell the word correctly. I'm an asian and I'm from the Philippines!

[AnmerDarker]

@MrBoudreaux65 that's rubbish! you are so racist! asians are very good at all the things! singing is one of those!

the true essence of this people inside, someone with a true essence simply carried away by yourself, trust in him! while insecure people with no essence of the good things just speak without any meaning in his words

assian guy you are so wonderfull! don't pay atention to nosense words!

[AnmerDarker]

@MrBoudreaux65 

[LloydBestOfficial]

@MrBoudreaux65 just want to note that it's not about the colour of your skin, your voice comes from within, now it's true that darker skinned people tend to have more soulful voices but that doesn't mean that only black people can sing a song like this. To even assume such a thing is ignorance and ignorance condones hate.

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

@MrBoudreaux65 That's. . . not really how it works.

[argarius]

@MrBoudreaux65

music should never be divided by race. music is a universal language.

you should live in san francisco for a month.

[teachergoldie]

are you Filipino?

[teachergoldie]

Wow.....

[xenoxero]

strong work dude. i'm subscribing now. keep pumping these out, youtube needs some more real talent.

[AnimatedSyeko]

This guy must be filipino. Filipinos are the only asians that can actually sing...for the most part.

[GVirus14]

Hell yeah, dude! This is INCREDIBLE!!! I love the male version of this song!...You don't happen to have sheet music available, do you? :D

[jasminatoh]
