i may have an opinion on colour here. White can't do this basso profundo along with such soprano whisperings. I'm white, but that's a gift from black genes.
This artist is a genius and versatile To 'kaitarojas' the comment you posted, if you dont judge people by who they are then why did you go on and on about the skin colour?,...I think B. McFerrin is great. So 'kaitarojas' what do you think of Yo Yo Ma?
i though this guy was white when i first heard him, he was vocalizing the violin part to the first movement to bachs violin concerto in A minor, im a big fan, i sing also, and now i constantly vocalize and sing anything i can every day,
@kaitarojas nothing, all i said was that i thought he was white, .. i dont judge people by where they are from or how dark or light their skin is, , i first heard him on classical96.3fm toronto and hes name is Mcferrin, i though he was a Canadian from the UK or Scotland or Ireland, I had no idea from his voice that he was negro, it doesnt bother me , a lot of my favourite, blues and jazz and rock musicians are african american , LISTEN TO BAROQUE MUSIC
@CxC2007: I believe that much like yourself, we were raised on the TRADITIONAL classical music and style. But to close yourself off from modern version is to close yourself off to new ideas, and a new way of thinking. What he's done is find a way to bring the arts to a new group of people who would not otherwise come to this avenue of music. The HUMAN is such an amazing instrument that we often overlook it's power to move people. I doubt from your spelling that you know much of the arts.
Stop sayin such things. Bobby McFerrin is like the Bob Marley of classical music with even more talent. You can think that he doesn't have Talent, But he does have the music soul and he love's what he's doing. So please, if you don't like it. Keep it for yourself :)
@CxC2007 You my friend have no musical soul. Don't hate on which you cannot do . Maybe not in your eyes but in mine i see this Person as a God of musical talent and if you cant see that you truely are oblivious to musical art!

I'm sorry, in this case, it's not better with Bobby. he detracts from the music here, and his singing(or whatever it is he does) is too weak. if he had an opera-strentgh vocal instrument, maybe. but this is bleh.
With regard to Georgia Brown (the Brazilian singer) - she was SAID to have a vocal range of 8 octaves, but this was never documented by any recording. The record was eventually supplanted by that of Adam Lopez (Costa), what was recorded at 8 octaves. Nobody has ever reached 9 octaves. For further reference, don't rely on youtube for your facts. Although Wikipedia may not have all it's facts 100% correct, it is at least reviewed, and subject to correction in the event that it is wrong.
Look at bobby's improvisational work its incredible, theres alot here on youtube.
Also your saying that the people you went to school with are capable of picking out any note within a 6 octave range and sing it like a keyboard as annakc said?
Your either deliberatly posting stupid things on here to start a flame war, practising your debating skills, or either U really are actually a dumb ass when it comes to assessing the musical ability of one of the FEW musical geinus' of our time.
@FRIENDLYMEXICANBOY Are you a mental cripple? No human voice on earth has a 6 octave range. Instruments in the violin family have 4 1/2 octaves, and the piano has seven. The largest human vocal ranges have almost 4 octaves. So right there you've shown yourself as not knowing much about the human voice. Do you listen to jazz? There are a great many singers whose improvisational prowess far outstrips that of Mr. Mcferrin.
@violatione I dont know much about music theory and I was also wrong about him having a 6 octave voice.
Its the fact that you seem to believe Mcferrin is somewhat overhyped, and that he isnt such a phenomenal talent. In your eyes, mcferrin is no more talented the average run of the mill singer that has been classically trained. I cannot understand how you can say that 80% of the singers you knew at music school are vocally capable of outshining Mcferrin... I just cannot belive this to be true.
@919191x Do you know what an octave is? Walk over to a piano and hit middle C. Ok now hit the next C above. That is an octave. You just said that the people you named have larger ranges than the piano. They don't. I think where you err is that you're mistaking named pitches for octaves (A5, B7 and the like).
@919191x I really think you're wrong here. You're telling me that the people you named have vocal ranges that exceed the range of a piano BY TWO OCTAVES!!! No dude, you're not correct on this point.
@violatione go and search for them! expecially georgia brown... it's very strange but it's true!!! search "georgia brown range" or "nicola sedda range"...i didn't belive until i listened to it!
@919191x I'm sitting here with my viola in my lap. And I'm playing Georgia Browns notes. It's a little over 3 octaves. Now with Nicola Sedda, his vocal fry register to his flute register is 9 1/2 octaves. Your range measured as a scale that you can sing (without the help of a mic) from the bottom to the top. Personally my vocal fry is just as low as his and I can flute two octaves below his highest note. But this is not my range. Many people can do this but it is unusable.
@violatione yes.... I think too that it isn't usable in singing ... but that's a fact that that's 9 octaves range and not so many as you say can do that...but the point is!!!....there are 9 octaves ranged people!!! it's a fact!
@revoltingmexican the debate was already ended :D ..... anyway the connection was that someone wrote that bobby has 5-6 octave range and someone else wrote that it was imossible(max 3 octaves) ...so i wrote 2 great exceptions.... so it's not pointless! :D
@ubartkishi Abut the biggest range I've encountered is 4 octaves. Maybe there are some unusual souls with slightly more than this, but talk of 9 octave ranges is obvious nonsense.

You also said that 80% of the singers you know can do things that bobby can never do... Have you not seen any of his live imporovisational work? This is RAW talent that only bobby can do.
@violatione it doesn't matter whether it's hard or not. he does it beautifully and that's what counts. you're just jealous because he's brilliant and you're not. let me see you do this better than he does!!
He's so talented, this is great! thanks so much for posting :D
@mrOk333 Hey I'm not jealous at all. The man is a great hustler and I applaud him for being able to exploit myriad of dumb people and take their money. But honestly I know countless people who can outsing him.
@violatione oh my goodness!!! I can't believe you posted this!!! Unreal! Have you actually watched or listened to him sing at all? Go check out some videos!! You cannot possibly be a musician and honestly think this?
@annakchambers How can you question my musicianship when it is painfully clear that you don't know any singers. 80% of the singers with whom I went to school were light years ahead of anything that Bobby could do. McFerrin's vocal ability is about the same as that of any trained symphonic musician (who can carry a tune). If YOU were a real musician, you'd know this.
@violatione hi Violatione, I'm not sure if you're sincere or not, but as it happens I do know quite a few singers, and feel honoured to do so. I trained for 5 years on scholarship in high school and then 3 and a half at University in my particular instrument, and averaged about 81% across the board while doing so. My last performance exam of my Uni degree came back at 93%, and I have played, sung and performed in many groups, ensembles and concert halls. I have also won several scholarships.
@violatione I am grateful to be a musician, and have the skills that I do, and grateful also to listen to a musician like Bobby McFerrin. I didn't mean offence at all by my post - I'm quite sincere in that I really DO find it hard to believe that any musician would honestly state Bobby McFerrin to not be talented. I wonder if perhaps you haven't heard some of his other recordings like his collaboration with Chick Corea or Yo Yo Ma for example? The above doesn't do him as much justice as most.
@annakc08 I'm not offended and I NEVER said that he wasn't talented. In fact I think that he blows away most pop musicians. He has a pleasant voice and can carry a tune, but so can many trained musicians. My problem is not with him. It's with the people who gush over him as though he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Yes I've heard most of his recorded material. However there isn't anything that I've heard him do that I cannot also do with minimal practice.
@violatione watch the bobby mcferrin and richard bona video on youtube and then tell me that 80% of the singers you know would have been capable of doing this not only as well as mcferrin, but even better so!
@violatione yes violatione, I do know what an accomplished singer is. Saying that Bobby McFerrin has a 'pleasant voice and can carry a tune' is like saying that Michael Jordan can bounce a basketball and play a good game. I find your ignorance amazing. If you could really sing over 6 octaves and pick out notes as though you're playing a keyboard and do any of the myriad of amazing things Bobby does, you wouldn't be here commenting the way you have. I just read some of your other posts and
@annakc08 I'm glad that you made that analogy! Mcferrin is not the Michael Jordan of singing. He is more like an "And 1" allstar, who if he were to play in the NBA would be a third stringer. 6 octaves! Are you serious?!!! the violin has four and one half octaves. Bobby does not have that kind of range.
@annakc08 You are so right there is no point in discussing with a fool! Mr. McFerrin is absolutely magnificent he is not performing music or making music he IS music himself. Soul, heart, body, mind = music.
@Desiderata66 Oh sure call me a fool because you don't know what music is. You've spent your whole life listening to MTV and VH1 listening to people who are chosen for their looks and not their skill. When you come across someone who can actually carry a tune, you believe that Jesus is among you. I'm here to tell you that there are many echelons of singer above Mr. Mcferrin. The fact that you don't know this does not make me a fool.
Much love for this great orchestra director and vocal wonder. Sir I take my hat off, I just wish I may have a chance to see your performance live. So much talent, and such humility.

Come on.your havin a laugh. This sounds like some guy, pleasant, humming along to someone else's music Please. i heard a farmer once humming and sing along to some classical music and i was in total shock. in the mountains of north Italy. And trust me if you gave the same kinda sound and mic etc. you'd wonder how this got on you tube. I must say am quite surprised at the views on this. forgive If i sound a bit you know? but u gotta admit this is bollocks . Who ever posted this has gr8 humour!

I can't express how impressed I am with his capacity to interpret and perform such beautiful music in such a unique manner. Normally I am terribly unimpressed with the manner in which niggers interpret musical culture, but Mr. Mcferrin is clearly the exception. Bravo!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
My sister, brother and I grew up with our Marine Corp father teaching us to do this to any music, but sometimes rather than using ' deedle do's' like Bobby McF, we would buzz, ding, bum, and make other sounds on key like Bobby... it's just not that hard, folks!
I don't think people are taken back by what you think they are. It's not so much what he does... it's what he does with it, and how he does it. The harmonies, the rhythms; not everyone can do that, and Bobby McFerrin is certainly a master of rhythm and harmony.
Qué hermoso que el arte sea siempre plástico, maleable, flexible... Maravillosas versiones historicistas de Il Giardino Armonico, y maravilloso este tipo de disfrute también :o)
Does it fill the heart and soul of both listener and musician? Then it is legitimate--whatever form it takes. Bobby McFerrin has long ago proven he is one of the greats :)
I have this recording and it isn't Yo-Yo Ma playing the other cello part...it's the principal cellist of the orchestra, can't remember his name, but I'm pretty sure it isn't Yo-Yo...It doesn't sound like Yo-Yo really...
You know that saying?: "Like a dolphin is not a part of the fish family, the singer is not a part of the musician family." Of Course this is untrue, thanks to Bobby McFerrin =) .
No really, singers are musicians too, and its people like Bobby McFerrin that remind us that music is open, free, and takes up in many forms.
interesting thought. i play the violin and ive always strived to sound like the voice. i was always taught that the voice is the ultimate musical sound, that singers were the original musicians
I was told that the cello is one of the musical instruments that has almost the same timbre as the human voice. Thats why it sounds so well together =)
That's funny . I am a soprano and have always tried to sound like a violin. From what I'm told, I am pretty successful. However, I am more successful at sounding like a flute.Does this make sense? I always thought of my voice as an instrument. I guess that is why I love Bobby so.
@boiragirules: You make an old lady smile.If were younger, I would. I am not about to pull a Susan Boyle ( whom i admire btw). I will ask you.. when is old too old? Since we don't know each other, you can be honest.
when you think you are old, you are old, I saw in tv on the other day that one couple in hteir 90s rocking in a dance club. You are never old if you do not think you are not old. I am not being diplomatic or politically corrent.
There is nothing about the voice that makes it inherently "ultimate." It makes sound by the same basic mechanisms instruments do. You should realize that whoever "taught" you that voice is the ultimate musical sound was only stating his opinion, although he may have presented it as a fact.

My last performance exam of my Uni degree came back at 93%, and I have played, sung and performed in many groups, ensembles and concert halls. I have also won several scholarships.

@violatione I am grateful to be a musician, and have the skills that I do, and grateful also to listen to a musician like Bobby McFerrin. I didn't mean offence at all by my post - I'm quite sincere in that I really DO find it hard to believe that any musician would honestly state Bobby McFerrin to not be talented. I wonder if perhaps you haven't heard some of his other recordings like his collaboration with Chick Corea or Yo Yo Ma for example? The above doesn't do him as much justice as most.
annakc08 1 year ago
@annakc08 I'm not offended and I NEVER said that he wasn't talented. In fact I think that he blows away most pop musicians. He has a pleasant voice and can carry a tune, but so can many trained musicians. My problem is not with him. It's with the people who gush over him as though he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Yes I've heard most of his recorded material. However there isn't anything that I've heard him do that I cannot also do with minimal practice.

@violatione watch the bobby mcferrin and richard bona video on youtube and then tell me that 80% of the singers you know would have been capable of doing this not only as well as mcferrin, but even better so!

@annakc08 If you went to a good music school then you of all people should know what an accomplished singer really is.

@violatione yes violatione, I do know what an accomplished singer is. Saying that Bobby McFerrin has a 'pleasant voice and can carry a tune' is like saying that Michael Jordan can bounce a basketball and play a good game. I find your ignorance amazing. If you could really sing over 6 octaves and pick out notes as though you're playing a keyboard and do any of the myriad of amazing things Bobby does, you wouldn't be here commenting the way you have. I just read some of your other posts and
annakc08 1 year ago
@annakc08 I'm glad that you made that analogy! Mcferrin is not the Michael Jordan of singing. He is more like an "And 1" allstar, who if he were to play in the NBA would be a third stringer. 6 octaves! Are you serious?!!! the violin has four and one half octaves. Bobby does not have that kind of range.

@annakc08 You are so right there is no point in discussing with a fool! Mr. McFerrin is absolutely magnificent he is not performing music or making music he IS music himself. Soul, heart, body, mind = music.

@Desiderata66 Oh sure call me a fool because you don't know what music is. You've spent your whole life listening to MTV and VH1 listening to people who are chosen for their looks and not their skill. When you come across someone who can actually carry a tune, you believe that Jesus is among you. I'm here to tell you that there are many echelons of singer above Mr. Mcferrin. The fact that you don't know this does not make me a fool.

This sounds like some guy, pleasant, humming along to someone else's music Please. i heard a farmer once humming and sing along to some classical music and i was in total shock. in the mountains of north Italy. And trust me if you gave the same kinda sound and mic etc. you'd wonder how this got on you tube. I must say am quite surprised at the views on this. forgive If i sound a bit you know? but u gotta admit this is bollocks . Who ever posted this has gr8 humour!

My sister, brother and I grew up with our Marine Corp father teaching us to do this to any music, but sometimes rather than using ' deedle do's' like Bobby McF, we would buzz, ding, bum, and make other sounds on key like Bobby... it's just not that hard, folks!

I don't think people are taken back by what you think they are. It's not so much what he does... it's what he does with it, and how he does it. The harmonies, the rhythms; not everyone can do that, and Bobby McFerrin is certainly a master of rhythm and harmony.

You know that saying?: "Like a dolphin is not a part of the fish family, the singer is not a part of the musician family." Of Course this is untrue, thanks to Bobby McFerrin =) .
No really, singers are musicians too, and its people like Bobby McFerrin that remind us that music is open, free, and takes up in many forms.

interesting thought. i play the violin and ive always strived to sound like the voice. i was always taught that the voice is the ultimate musical sound, that singers were the original musicians

That's funny . I am a soprano and have always tried to sound like a violin. From what I'm told, I am pretty successful. However, I am more successful at sounding like a flute.Does this make sense? I always thought of my voice as an instrument. I guess that is why I love Bobby so.

There is nothing about the voice that makes it inherently "ultimate." It makes sound by the same basic mechanisms instruments do. You should realize that whoever "taught" you that voice is the ultimate musical sound was only stating his opinion, although he may have presented it as a fact.
gotmilk1289 2 years ago
i said "ultimate" because it was the FIRST instrument. people heard the voice and made instruments to imitate them

"Ultimate" means last. The word you are looking for is "prime".

Ultimate also happens to mean "basic or fundamental."
Prime also refers to a grade of meat.
