Bobby McFerrin live Montreal - Part 6 ( The Jump + Drive)

[lovingboarding]

Could a white man ever do such a thing?

[TheIsaacjstewart]

On a scale of Justin Bieber to Bobby McFerrin, how well can you sing?

[dnyamai78]

still looking for words to describe this!

[jpallant214]

Truly, truly fantastic. I am speechless right now.

[joemac92]

look at his left hand. in bobby's mind, he's playing an instrument. and he really is

[gc10CF]

God's voice +.+

[tynanator111]

this guy is a cool party trick

[gatti6666]

nagyon jó a pasas

[tomas0472]

could anoyone possibly explain to me, how he can sing two melodic lines in one moment ?! 7:13 - 7:17. unbelieveable.

[IGotDoubleBs]

@tomas0472 he's singing one, and playing a tune with vibrating lips --- good luck trying that at home kids

[xguitaristx278]

@IGotDoubleBs Nice attempt at explaining that, but hes using multiphonics. He is somehow manipulating hit vocal chords to allow himself to play two simultaneous notes and harmonize with himself. As to how he manipulates them, i do not know

[tiMeTNK]

@xguitaristx278 indeed. I am able to produce two sounds simultaneously with my own vocal chords as well, but its hard and it's not you can just sing a melody like that. low strength and speed of the airflow exiting (or entering) the lungs is crucial for me to get it to work. Being hard enough to control one tone at a time, try making them a harmonic at the same time too... damn he's good.

[woolters]

@xguitaristx278 @tiMeTNK seems to me he's using his lips. He produces a low tone by making his lips vibrate (like didgeridoo and tuba players) and sings the upper tone by making his vocal chords vibrate. Try it, it works, but it's effing hard to turn it into a melody!

[karlarsch56b]

@karlarsch56b he uses octaves (voice up/buzz down) the first two times and then decimes the third time. have fun - its worth trying, espacially if you play a brass instrument, though you can use it through your instrument then -> multiphonics -> cool :)

[karlarsch56b]

@karlarsch56b if i think about it: for me its actually harder to make a good and clean octave sound than the decimes. but the audience doesn't even realize what is happening at first :D

its just the sensational moment of hearing an accord beeing sung!

the same tones they don't notice...

[strad5]

''catch me, catch me, catch me....'''

[44eelz]

they should play more random stuff like this on the radio, than the same songs every 5 minutes

[Pied777]

Look how much relaxed he is. He's smooth and Zen, even tho' he's the only performer and had no one to rely on. Very inspiring.

I know nobody here will care, but I just had a big fight with my fiance and after listening to this, I'm gonna go tell her I'm sorry and ask if she wants to go see bobby mcferrin with me.

[Chaudz00]

This guy is awesome!

[deadeaded]

man... I watched this for the "drive" bit, but I must say, The Jump is fucking amazing! new favorite bobby mcferrin song? I think so.

[hejamate]

F*CKIN AWESOME!!!

[MattieSongbird]

I love how he went minor on the second run of the "Ring Around The Rosie" phrase.

Love this version of Drive!!!  Polytone. Woohoo. I wonder if he ever sat in with the Tibetan singers?

[aaronjanke]

I'm learning drive. Anyone ever find a transcription of this song? This is the best version I've found.

[danielsake]

he plays the microfone as it was a flute.

[Tonhas2]

Simply Perfect, he makes me fell Happy!

[Thorreth]

"Put my foot on the gas."
