wow. wes does an awesome job on this. i Played david's version and this version and i listened to wes and david singing the 1st Welllll part...they sounded like the exact same person, they both have amazing voices
The are all great singers, or they would not be with the Gaithers. On some songs, I prefer one singer to another, but enjoy the music and the message no matter who is singing it. As for the "show" as is described here, to me it is them enjoying what they are doing. Who would not love to have a job that they are good at, they enjoy, and they present a message for all?
Why does everyone keep on comparing Wes to David in these videos. They are both incredible singers. Can we just enjoy the video without having arguments of who is better??
Personally, I love both Wes and David, but I prefer this version over David's. I know David can sing higher, so most people like that. But I just like this one better...
hope ernie and ssq is cleaned up before theye come to fayetteville in april, i agree,it's time to get his act together and stop acting like the whole bunch is on drugs bounceing aroud like he's in a rock concert.
enough about wes and david, both awesome singers...what's with stephen hill's outfit? are those pajamas? Haha, even so, love the guy as well, such a unique sound, and you'd be hard pressed to find another gospel singer who can do falsetto solos like he can (maybe jessy dixon) Thanks hoover.
Wes Hampton has more class than any singer or former singer with the Gaithers, Ernie Hasse and his bunch that looks and acts like a bunch of street bums in their rags that they sing in. They need to clean up their "Act" and remember who and what they are singing about, they are just following the oak ridge boy's--NO DIFFERENT>
I agree totally Ernie Haase & SSQ is the epitome of what is wrong with America today. Wes Hampton is the next Martin Luther while Ernie Haase is on the path to being the next Charles Darwin because we all know Darwin was known to wear a multicolored three piece suit in his day and not to mention his two tone wing tips. May the spirit redeem those pagans. Ernie might as well be a tax collector.
why do people give people thumbs down when they say wes is good? some of you are being unfair, wes DOES have a beautiful voice. I saw a gaither concert and wes was there of course and he sang the lead on a beautiful song called "theres always a place at the table" and I was blown away and on "because he lives" he hits a high note I didnt know he could. David is special and he'll never be replaced, but I have room enough for both of them in my heart. Be kind! people are allowed to like both!! :)
@hoover4000 Yes! I often want to say that, when people get so caught up in vitriolic comparisons. I think they're sometimes unaware of what's really going on inside themselves. One of the wonderful things about Bill Gaither is the great number of incredibly gifted people he has enabled people all over the world to see & hear, for as long as the video's, dvd's, & cd's remain. How impoverishing it would be to have to label one "The BEST!" (& how foolish...what would be the point?)
I'm speechless. Seriously, I'm just pointing out how ridiculous all of this talk is about who sings higher. It's as dumb as saying my dad can beat up yours. And not sure what planet you live on, but Sandi DOES sing higher than David last time I checked. Why doesnt everyone calm down and let David be David and Wes be Wes.
the key thing here is to not compare at all, no matter what, why? because the Bible states it, also, it carries an undercurrent of pride, which doesn't lead to anything positive
why come in this video to talk about david's high note? since when higher notes makes a singer better singer? its up to preference really. some ppl love baritones more then tenors, but tenor sing higher notes! please enjoy the wonderful performance
Wow, I'm impressed! Wes is really moving right along! Replacing David Phelps is no easy task, but I think he's doing a pretty good job. Not trying to duplicate what David did, but making the songs his own. I would LOVE to hear a David and Wes duet!
i agree.....i wana hear both of them hit a high note together...rattle my ear drums lol...oh well hopefully we'll get a chance when the GVB reunion video comes out..
hello guys allof you are awesome david stephen and wes all of you sing this songs so wonderfully i can sit and listen to you all guys every day and every night, which i do any way. i love all you guys god bless.
Oh man, Wes is unbelievable!! dont really like Stephen's voice but Wes definatly makes the song amazing! He is my favorite singer of all the homecoming friends EVER!! him and Ryan Seaton!!
I didn't say he was the best, all I was saying was that in my opinion that he did this song better; i like this song better with him and Stephen Hill. I am not saying he is better than David Phelps. Its hard to compare them. They both are fabulous.
I'm sorry but no one can beat the original david phelps. David and Wes are both gifted by God and we should concentrate on the message and enjoy the music but if you have to compare, I'd go with the original --- David, anytime, all the time --- has proven his artistry, versatility and clarity of lyrics, which is most important in imparting a message. God bless!
In my opinion, Wes Hampton tackled this song in a way that even David Phelps wasn't able to do. The Gaither Vocal Band is finally a group that likes to give and take at different times. There isn't just one person who gets all the solos. Wes Hampton may not have the highest voice, but he sure does have one of the best. He is fantastic!
I would be reticent to say that he 'tackled this song in a way that even David Phelps wasn't able to do'. Where is the F(5) like David hit in the final chorus of his version? David even hit more C(5)s in his version than Wes did. I like Wes...he's a great tenor...and he is doing great, but I sometimes can't help but feel sorry for him with regard to the shoes that he had to fill. God bless.
that Wes Hampton is really catching up to David... and he's really young. I think in a few years he might be able to reach some of the notes that only Phelps can. If you watch this, you will notice that hes not really struggling to hit that "well", I'd pay money to see what he can do when just reheasing.
stephen hill is wondeful what a voice and style. i liked wes hampton here and i realize his voice is not david phelps but phelps was many times over powering.
Like this song a lot. Love Stephen Hill...and Wes did a great job, too. Just love David Phelps' version better. 'Course I love everything David sings!!!
Yeah David's version is awesome.. he even hits a few notes higher. But David Phelps is arguably the best in the world too. lol I'm happy with Wes Hampton in this one too.
