Homeless guy with golden voice makes CNN News

[hotsword222]

Do you remember....

1. When you could get on youtube without a huge ad at the top of your homepage?

2. When EVERY music video was from a user, not Vevo?

3. When you could use it as a music player without having an ad in the beginning of a music vid?

4. When copyright infringement wasn't a big deal?

5. When it was YOUtube?

Copy and paste onto videos telling youtube how angry we, the YOU in YOUtube, are with their greedy corporate butts.

[TheSaka24]

READ THIS COMMENT

Ok, so the original video with 13 million views (which was gotten in just 48 hours), which was uploaded by the user 'ritchey', got removed do to Copyright.

Later, popular news shows such as Associated Press, and others, uploaded the video. After they uploaded it, ritcheys video got removed for copyright! That's wrong!

Copyright is soon going to take over YouTube. Give this comment a thumbs up if you agree.

copy and paste the message we must spread the word

MAN THIS GUY HAS A MAJIC VOICE THIS GUY SHOULD BE ON EVERY DAM THING

[mstemple123]

he has the gift from god he should be on every radio station in the world

[Ryuuusa]

hmm...its really strange..but his board says that ..hes an "EX" radio announcer???Has he been on the radio before???..somethin fishy..that would mean he wasnt always homeless...

[ConcertPhotographs]

her voice aghhh

[oOHoMiCiiDeOo]

haha, " i just had an eargasm"

[debbiedee22]

wow now thats a vioce!!!!!!!!!

[sos71800]

If you didnt know you better, ask somebody!!! Sometimes God send you though , so he could see you through it. You could be a the bottom of the barrow and He would by pass the ones at the top and reach for the bottom. To Ted...stay prayed up!!

[queenofdarkness195]

Just think about this...If it wasn't for that nice guy to put it on YouTube..He'd proply still be on the roads..So,it was he who helped this man out kinda the most :D

[dalesalsa]

Awesome voice... incredible. I was flabbergasted.

He really has a gift. you definitely love hearing it. really.

Give this man a job and a character in a Disney or PIXAR MOVIE!

[mrcar532]

may God be with him

[meldaghost]

He could play the part of President Obama if a movie is ever made about Obama

[WeekendRambo]

Man of the year 2011 ...

[XxQmanxXP2B]

I need to hear this man sing!

GOOD GOD THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC!

[Sidewinder9877]

Im really happy for this guy. Good for him!! Best of luck Ted!

[GiantSandles]

Did the news reader honestly say 'I just had an eargasm'?

[iCgalz]

'i just had an eargasm' AHAAAHAHAHAHA what idiot decided to quote that on CNN lol.

[amine2320]

right our moms are the most impotant persons in our live ....

[DoomRifle]

I JUST HAD AN EARGASM HAHAHAHAHAHA THE NEWS THE NEWS SAID IT !!!

[ShadowSnipezX]

Haha anyone who gets this guy will have ratings and publicity through the roof,everyones going to want to watch/listen to this guy.

[rush2004]

I am very happy for you man, u deserved it!

[TheAlchemist46]

he should be president :D

[alltelman5]

Theres many who have good voices but this guy is as good as any you will find. Great story.

[ZedBringer]

0:50 I totally agree on that "GET THIS MAN'S VOICE ON EVERYTHING."

God Bless America and Ted Williams.

[antigenfromsupernova]

some ppl will make a good marketing with Ted

[Maynlander]

Why dont yall just make him president of the frickin planet or something. Who needs to stand in line for a job anymore or fill out an application. Just get someone to make you a video and post it on youtube and voila' the opportunities come knockin...Here's you people a challenge....Give a disabled veteran a frickin job!!!

[itzmekimie]

I'm so happy for what has happened to him. It's great that he's been 2 years sober. I wish for much much more success for him.

[MegaTube20]

This just shows how good god was to this man.He is truly blessed.

[Heddernheim069]

why did they delete the video ? it had almost 7 million views

[djboentertainment]

@Heddernheim069 Try 25 MILLION Views.  Who knows why they yanked it.

[Truckinmonk]

in America dreams can come true , the Man has a true gift , We all heard and saw it on the first take. they say the video went viral , I think deep inside We all want to see

that with a little luck ... Anyones dreams can become reality . One reporter with a camera and millions of YouTube viewers just showed the World that just because someone is down doesn't mean there out !!! Way to Go America !!! Ted ! just breath and take it one day at a time ..... The Truckin Monk

[dmcguirre]

btifulwmn: if you cannot afford to live in your house, you should leave. if you're not able to make your mortgage, you're out. that's just the rules, whether we all like it or not. quicken loans (owner of cavs) is just doing what they're supposed to do. when one signs up to get a house, he knows the consequences if he's not able comply with what he signed up for.

[dmcguirre]

puhleezzzz....big guys are fighting over him... NBA, NFL even MTV so forget these radio stations who's all too willing to pay him a whopping minimum wage!!!!!!!

[MaNuLz100]

Good man.

[clublifeofficial]

cavaliers gave him a house and a job watch fox interview him about his new job on my channel

[RaDDx1968]

A good voice and obviously intelligent, with a bit of effort, this guy could easily find a job.....So WHY is he homeless...?????

[reglowe777]

right on ted. keep up the God Work.

reginald lowe

[davidchapincastillo]

GET HIM A JOB NOW!!!

[Blah3156]

Replace that woman with that squeaky annoying voice, hey I found a guy Ted Williams, give him everything he needs + become a fan on facebook!!

[fredfelosofar]

If I had a radio channel of my own, I would have hired Ted William and paid him more than the average newscaster because he deserves it.

[troyandchadification]

lol eargasm...great news

[BBROSMOVIES]

SICK

[gosdeluxe]

he is now an anouncer for Clevlend Caveliers

[703OK]

Wow!! Life is fantastic!!!!!!!! isn't it?!?!

Congratulations! Mr.Williams!! KFY from Japan!!!!

[Hika395]

I just had an eargasam.

[dclaver2]

He got a job with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they payed a mortgage for his house. He is also doing voice for a minor league hockey team.

[NeonClaw]

good luck man, good luck.

[Infinity161]

At least minimum wage.... how fucking generous of them!

[chuck3377]

Utter brothers hat on james, thats awsome, I live in Pawling too, its a cool country feed store across from Pawling train station......

[chuck3377]

Utter brothers hat on james, thats awsome, I live in Pawling too, its a cool country feed store across from Pawling train station......

[Skier1017]

Atleast minimum wage? WTF

[dabigjokeoftheday]

DRUGS ROBBING STEALING IS WORKING FOR IT..WTF.......IT'S A SLAP IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE THAT DO THIS FOR A LIVING

[beatinitup79]

@dabigjokeoftheday ... but those people your refuring too steal more get higher and robb people more then he ever ccould. hes just honest enough to be real and upfront and not a lying judging faker like the ones you like

[OsmVids]

@dabigjokeoftheday Who said he robs people? He is an honest man who fell to drugs and alcohol. Now he's trying to get his life back. Fuck you.

[jjojjorge]

Quote: "At least minimum wage." When one's talents, skills,etc, get to go beyond monetary value, then world-progress will be substantial. No I am not communist, socialist, or anything known up to now. In any case mentioned quote readily describes the lack of world-love, much less universal-love...

[KrlitoSurf]

woooooooooooao 

[xxxxd1eSELxxxx]

yea this is where you find talent, where people dont look. This man needs to be heard and get him on TV or the radio NOW!! haha

[Detonics451]

[DarkKitsuneTsuki]

I think this is an amazing story; I wish him all the best

[lilmisscupcaakes]

[whodatnatioification]

voiceoftedwilliams,com

[gowill2]

[killerchristians]

From CHILE just blesses for this great guy

[flashdebernardis]

I saw this just now from Argentina. This man is incredible !!!!! And in your country can work tomorrow. His voice, To Espn, Fox Sports, Stadiums, Events, etc, is magic ..Good luck !

[pattyfatstar]

1-877-7DISPATCH (1-877-734-7728) Call the Columbus Dispatch and tell them what you think of them removing the video! Boycott their damn rag!

[88bentley88]

God bless you! Great man.

[fede018]

it's official: eargasm has become an uncool word.

[Somai82]

What an awful report.This woman is horrible.

[uglymoe211]

he looks like a broke down Obama....still asking for change

[Matteratski]

[Quinte16]

He's signed by Cleveland Cavaliers, hasn't he?

[CarlosKblo]

Ted Williams Makes His Radio Debut WNCI 97.9 /watch?v=U_CpX01iX4M

[MakeSensePlz]

how evil was that last bit, watch family guy - watch homeless guy. xD

[PyroMegaaa]

OMG OSAMA BINGLADEN IS BACK

[BabylonianKingz314]

ted gold bless you good luck

[btifulwmn]

The only thing that bothers me is the company that owns the Caveliers, Quicken Loans, is throwing people out of their houses every day. What a good way to clean up your reputation--save one homeless man while putting a thousand more back on the street. I hope he doesn't take that job but gets an even better one. Good luck, Ted. I'm happy for you either way.

[YouKnowIKnowFTW]

WAIT STOP EVERYONE! they fucking just said eargasm on CNN

[KojachBaumherr]

when i heard that woman say eargasm my penis went inside my body

[crazziee19]

@fluffyhobo2010: they did the same in germany, haha :'D

[MistaBigBoss]

his rich now,

[XxB00M3R420xX]

Probably one of the perfect broadcasting voices iv'e ever heard. GET THIS MAN FAMOUS!!!!!!!!!

[toniacundiff]

He may look like Sammy Davis jr. but he really could pass for President Barack Obama brother. This type of blessing could not of happened to a nicer guy. God uses ordinary people.When Jesus was born he was homeless too.

[499lbs]

nom nom nom, its audible chocolate .

[tnavarro73]

Thank you god for giving this man a second chance he deserves it,ted willams i wish you the best an god bless you,an i am happy your mom is still with you,an she lived to see you make a good change in your life,moms are the most importants persons in our lifes.

[JAIMEKILLS1]

Super Angel Voice lol

[warmbutnothot]

I just would like to say that my name is Lamont B. and i met Mr.Williams last year he and his girl friend ant the Plasma center here in Columbus. He and I had a broadcasting voiceover contest between he and i and i knew it then that he was perfect and that one day he would get noticed someway and somehow. God has shown his light on you be blessed. And congradulations i love you...

[ipodhelp999]

God bless Ted and his talent

[guerreiroph100]

GOOD LUCK! YOU DESERVES A BETTER LIFE! GOLDEN VOICE, GOLDEN HEART!MY MOTHER ALMOST CRYED HEARING YOUR STORY.

[lilhall]

Awesome story, best of luck Ted!

[skillz0122]

Wtf, did you hear that voice?

[Warchief1521]

I swear CNN talks to their viewers as if they were incompetent.

[hubccp]

Get that man a fuckin job!

[glitchnoise]

were could i subscribe in the event that this guy does get a radio show? he should start in his own podcast to get his feet in the water

[flashbell]

There are valid reasons why some people are homeless. Most of the time it is a series of unfortunate events with domino effect.

[FASM27]

He could pass for OBAMA'S brother....good shit mister homeless man!!!

[onstageagain]

He belongs on Radio ... no question about it, Thank you God for miracles.  Gives us all a little hope.

[ssmastercert2k6]

I can already see the "Ted Williams Story", starring Tim Meadows!!!! He Definitely deserves a radio show, voice-over gigs, SOMETHING!...Come on, America! Stay tuned for the NEXT episode of "When a Homeless Man Can Speak!

[cutator]

Hire this guy......................... Fast

[ssmastercert2k6]

I can already see the "Ted Williams Story", starring Tim Meadows!!!!

[clementleong]

Let the voice be heard every where in the WORLD, dont buried this stunning awesome voice.

God bless...

[tavtel]

TED!!!! - ITS MIKE AND STEF!!! - WE ARE SOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU -WE KNEW ONE DAY THIS COULD HAPPEN AS YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BEYOND AMAZING TO US - THANK YOU FOR ALL THE VOICE OVER WORK AND NOW I WILL CHERISH EVEN MORE SO THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE ON MY PROJECTS - LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND SO GLAD YOU MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

STEF DIAMOND FOR DIAMONDLYFE VIP

[sanQ]

This guy is a star and he deserves it. Just incredible. James Earl Jones has nothing on Ted Williams

[HiLRoYpwns]

This guy deserves a job. Come on. Do his hair up a bit, get a little bit of dental work, and possibly shape the brows a bit better, then he'll look like his voice sounds! Very spiffy.

Come to think of it, he sort of looks like a homeless Obama.

You go Ted!

[meganuh2o]

Every once in a while something magical happens. This IS one of those times. People are so caught up with themselves, they forget the less fortunate and that ALL of those people have a story, a past, a family and in this case a HUGE talent. We need to see more of these feel good stories to help us realize how fortunate we really are. There is potential in all of us. Good Luck to you Ted Williams!

[bearwoodbrown]

Its going to be interesting to watch this guys hit rate go up on this video it no 1 in canada, newzealand,south africa ,netherlands 2 day , i first saw it on the BBC 2 day, they said some one offered 10 k for him to work and a bidding war has erupted

[Jamshotta26]

Is it me or does this guy resemble Sanjay Gupta?

[kqkdp]

wooooow.. the power of viral videos... yesterday a homeless today a hero!!!!! Great voice man!!!!

[Dihan22]

he just got a full time job and a house!!!

[Dylanyo123]

Why isnt anyone thanking the dude who posted the video on youtube? Everyone's giving all the credit to this god.

[TommyTurntables1]

"PROHIBITION DOES NOT WORK"

[latinzoso]

He could do some Tony the Tiger commercials for Frosted Flakes. I wonder if he can sing. He could remake the "Mr. Grinch" song. Voice over gigs pay a lot of money. I wouldn't take that minimum wage offer. They say Don LaFontaine died a very rich man.

[supaboy2150]

Stay away from conservatives, they're all corrupt;)

[1Silvus1]

oh come on, he has to be the ancor of a TV SHOW! His face is orifinal, hes git something, theres something about him. he looks awesome!

[maddy4all]

He deserve a job a radio........

[rgmatos2]

Don't do drugs kids! And stay away from liberals!

God bless you, Ted!!

[demarcio25]

Thank God for Ted! He is never knows a stranger & as a friend that I've lost contact with, I am praying that he is able to get his life together. I pray that he will be able to do it not only for himself but his children so their relationship can heal. He was one of the first people to befriend me when I moved to Columbus, but of course the drug thing put a wedge in our friendship, but whenever I see him, we act like we've never lost touch. He is a great guy!

[VisualOrgasm69]

Eargasm.....What a fucking stupid saying. hahahahah

[djfrankis]

cool

[28TSDJ]

DUDE GET HIM ON YOUR RADIO SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or on your DJ job, lol

[avschase]

Though I also dont have a job. Im going to pray that this guy gets one instead of me.

[mattfarus1]

They have him do it on the bus for a long time

[davidmoore32]

WOW!!!!! He needs to host The Super Bowl.....he's a super bowl commercial in the making!!! Sean Moore San Diego CA

[riddlebrandan]

i love his voice!!!!

[angierocksthe808]

Feels great to know that there are good people still out there to help a man while he's down. GO GET EM TED!!!

[supavisah]

I hope someone gives him a chance to shine!

[catlady6464]

@supavisah what a nice thing to say, I hope the man gets a gig and reads your post.

[TheeMotivator]

Sorry for posting so many times guys! I'm new at this. Won't happen again!!

[palabra8]

God bless this man.

[Valcgo]

@ryanc519 show people a talent worthy of people's time and attention! there is probably a good reason you don't have one.

[ryanc519]

@Valcgo yeah ...the Lehman Brothers...that's a very good reason right there

[theetommydeluxe]

90% of the people working in radio and television today don't have half the voice talent this guy does. I'm glad he's getting a second chance.

[cocorockzmeh]

Troll face + EARGASM on the news? what has the world become.

[raidenms]

wow!

[Marshallsg]

He do deserves a job with his voice man.

[ElPeester]

Lmao,

[Orville9999]

[phadedlife]

@Coodude26 Some guy actually offered to donate 15k to pay his salary too, so that's basically saying the studio will pay him nothing. His salary would purely be some generous souls gift.

[djbigron]

i am just stunned! Can he make me a jingle to Bo? lol

[starlit47]

he starts a new job at wnci radio station tomorrow at 7:15am, catch it on wnci.com

[keypro88]

[fantlawns]

That guy is really good and deserves a real break!!I wish I was a millionaire, I would start a radio station and set him up for the opening as the voice for the forgotten.
