SUPER BAD BRAD - YOU'LL NEVER FIND

[recovering16]

I don't think Brad necessarily wants to become famous - just to be able to make a basic living and entertain people on the streets. He's very refreshing and talented!!

[Legenda20SLO]

@recovering16

Haha, you are right. I bet that he doesn't want to be famous too. He is just enjoying every minute while being alive, while most of the people see him as someone who didn't make it in life. But how come ? He is doing something that he enjoys at - singing on the streets and having a big audience :P

[craneraaudiovideo]

this dude rocks



[kingharryannis]

Brad I can not get your voice out of my head I am driving my wife crazy singing to her keep on singing I hope to see you singing in person.

[Gright]

He kinda looks like Julian Casablancas

[robbyrobrob1]

Love Brad, he never puts his ego ahead of the song. It's about a great song not about him. That's one of the things that make him great. That and the fact that he can sing better than the original artists he covers.

[robbyrobrob1]

His covers are better than the originals-easily.

And Brad's stage craft is smooth,very smooth.

[CurlyzOnMyNutz]

Out of this whole video I did not not see one person give a dollar or any thing to him.

Super Bad Brad is awesome

[wiredmanproductions]

He is so sexy it is redonkulous

[dawgbytez]

@13 seconds....It's Frank Zappa! LOL

[orbitalspin2011]

What a talent

[Vidmastercrew]

wth is wrong with that fat ass lady getting mad at brad?

[hotdog2020]

Why I LOVE NYC! Some of the best entertainment you can find in the city is right on the streets, not always but you find someone and go wth are you on the streets for with talent like that?

[denice777]

Amazing voice!

[supatones]

OK..What the hell is up with that woman at 3:00 ?? Seriously! Brad is performing a freakin LOUNGE tune! ...How evil do you have to be to give him shit for that? Some people...ughh!

[ifuseekamy]

Brad is fucking amazing! I wish I was rich, because I would totally pay his airfare and hotel to sing at my wedding.

[ifuseekamy]

This guy should have been saved instead of Ted Williams. Super Bad Brad I'm sure isn't a multiple felon like he is.

[Sohrob1]

What a beautiful & warm voice. Lou (RIP) would have been proud if had heard this

[skokkia93]

Boots - The Killers ♥

[wraparound2000]

This guy is so amazing! I'd really stand in line for days to see him perform if he were famous. I really do hope he gets signed and gets all the fame and recognition he truly deserves. Hats off to you Brad!!!!! Does anyone know exactly where he performs? Is it always in New York? Wish he had a pc so he could see how much he really is loved and appreciated. Let me know if anyone knows more about this amazing talent.

[fishandfestival]

Brad's innocent soul comes through every note of his music...There's a purity about him that comes through his music.

[MCTravass23]

i love his shirt haha

[MCTravass23]

maybe he acts homless to get easy money haha

[knucklebutty]

wow........................

[matlock12c]

Something really GREAT can be where you least expect it.....

[AlienIQ420]

@matlock12c That Is So Very True!! If only more people would recognize hidden & undiscovered talent

[webstercat]

Wait a minute, the quality of the audio is way too good for a street performance. Does anyone know if this is for real? This is not recorded on the street that is for sure.

[imwomanroar]

@webstercat that's what i was thinking especially since we couldn't hear anything the crowd said like when that woman yelled at him.

[Acapellatim]

You go Brad...awesome.

[Sohrob1]

I never thought we could find another singer as good as the great Lou Rawl but then here it is Mr. Super Bad Brad. Excellent vocal

[PrudenceWright]

I love this so much.

[fishandfestival]

Some people are so stupid, like that woman who approached Brad protesting his singing...People like her can't appreciate true art...She looks like a very unhappy person who has had one too many cheeseburgers...This is art in its truest form, done for real people on the streets...No fanfare, just fun and entertainment and the innocent expression of beautiful art...Thanks Brad!!!

[BTC141]

Street genius, he's mastered the virtues of his age. A return to retro, a return to bruised eye optimism. Keep on singing Brad.

[RitvarLegend]

hes kinda retro

[thunderbirdscarlett]

MY MOMMA SAYS OBAMA

[BigBoiJC]

3:04 I would have stepped up and stopped that woman.

[Legenda20SLO]

fuckin' awsome !!!!!!!!!

[thefogster61]

Sweet lovin' Jesus, this guy is great!

[Terine89]

Woah when was this filmed?

[jasonfish07]

@Terine89 WOAH????? wtf is that???? haha

[Exsitstor]

Saw him last week at the Belmar in Binghamton, still rocking.

[Stryder94]

seriously? so he is alive, someone said he was dead, thats awesome hes still kicking

[Exsitstor]

lol, he was actually wearing the same shirt. new ghetto blaster though, pretty fresh

[rebecca7730]

Emouvant

[dverbunk]

And behold, it seems that he is scare of this crazy old woman!

[dverbunk]

This man sings as well as many famous singers.

But, look!

He does not have a yacht, no car, and probably no home.

But he has a string, instead of the pants belt.

In these comments he says that he is a good man.

Why is there suffering such a fate?

Does anyone know?

[questmast3rz]

maybe he is trying to send out a message saying that anyone can have talent u just have to open urs eyes and see it

[dverbunk]

Maybe!

But I think that he is next to his talents deserved more and that there is something material.

[dverbunk]

... because we can not say that THIS world is not MATERIAL.

[plumberloco5]

IS HE STILL ALIVE ?

[beehivehairdresser]

Yes, and he's amazing to see in person.

[whammycam]

I would buy his music in a heartbeat!

[BigBoiJC]

this guy is super talented. if any of you who see him at any time during your days or weeks working, if you have a few minutes and a few bucks...take him to get something to eat. help him out. he is a hard hit hard working singer who just needs a break.

[mczesztyicki]

He sounds Like Rocky LoL

[Mortiis531]

I demand an album from this dude. Incredible.

[Stryder94]

ill be the first to buy :D

but really, a compilation of Brad singing hits and oldies would be amazing

[schoolgirlscaptain]

Man.. this guy is GOOD !!!!

[1witchshaman]

I wonder why Brad Prowley hasn't been signed .. unbelievable!

[hetoimasai]

The guy behind the camera has to be a professional with it. What gives there? That causes me to wonder if Brad isn't doing a lip sync in a music studio. Maybe somebody's trying to promote this guy? Well, I have to admit he's more talented than Tiny Tim.

[lanogalera69]

God, this guy is awesome. F* unbelievable.

[Honeycat54]

I love Brad!

[DallasLuvster]

What a GEEK. He needs to read

"How to Dress Properly for Dummies"

Probably makes Lou Rawls cringe

at his cemetery.

[friendobrians]

2:44 when he swings the mic. funny.

[NHayssen]

LOVE HIM!!!

[PriestessLithia]

How can people say that's Bruce Willis?

[LovePaulPotts]

It's only called Grungy Gaye Gets It On because Brad is singing the Marvin Gaye song "Let's Get It On"

[LovePaulPotts]

youtube Grungy Gaye Gets It On

This is Brad much older singing at the Apollo. Incredible!

And yes slikkyboy, I saw the Ben song too, unbelievable his range is!!

[ulula19]

bravo Brad!!!

and great vieo clip as well!

[yosuhara]

simply amazing

[gizmoshadow1978]

301 was funny as hell lol

[immacutiebootie]

Hats off to the performance... I thought it was fantastic "contrived produced clip" or not. It def gets 5* from me

[rustyoo2006]

This is obviously NOT a live capture, as the clip tries to portray! A boom box doesn't provide that kind of sound. Looks like a contrived produced clip.

[immacutiebootie]

*sarcastic clapping* to paraphrase a Stewie Griffin quote 'finally the last horse has crossed th finishing post'. How long did it take you to work that out rustyoo? Now really, thats some good detective work Sherlock. One day they promote you to solving real crimes.

[ulula19]

finally the last horse has crossed th finishing post'. i love this.. never heard before!

[recovering16]

Adolfo - You are to be congratulated for bringing Super Bad Brad to our attention. He is fabulous, of course, but you are a fantastic documentary maker. The way you catch the reaction of the public around him, adds so much to the enjoyment. I hope you'll make a longer documentary and submit it to several film fests!! (Sundance, NY, CineVegas, etc.)

[phreecfrancis]

Man that guy has got some serious soul.

[thalonen]

A true natural, wow.

[RickLight44]

RickLight44,

This man has a truly amazing voice and my heart goes out to him.

Brad I seen all your video clips on youtube and they brought tears to my eyes.

What a voice and I love all your songs.

When you sing from the heart it make for a great song.

Brad, good luck to you and my God bless you and look over you,

Thanks You So Much Brad.

[ArthurClairFR]

"Kareoke Man" (youtube video) 6:55 for the song "Ben". I like to see the US educated audience seeing this strange singer.

[slikkyboy]

what?? is this guy for real...i just watched another clip of him singing 'ben' by jackson 5. if it's really him, his range is ridiculous. not to mention his ability to change his voice completely.

[whammycam]

Somebody SIGN this guy up!!!!!!1

[ArthurClairFR]

It is not a playback of Lou Rawls. It is his real voice. This man is a damned artist as we say in France (very talented but miserable).

Good luck great Brad !

[nucklebut]

great presence and passion, if i met him i'd treat him like a king

[ZuzerHun]

great clip, great singing, great looks. to me he is more of a star than all the madonnas and beyonces put together.

[BLACKWINGEDBEING]

fucking awesome vocal!!!

It's like he's on a different plane altogether. The Soul Plane!!!

[JonnyLightning]

Next American Idol

[ArthurClairFR]

You have a great voice and your audience smile. You can give the simple musical live daily pleasures that people are waitting for in NYC. Keep singing my lord.

[primosecundo]

You are the best ! Just the best. The most amazing is that it is his true voice (not a playback)

[nucklebut]

this guy gives me hope

[tragomatiko]

es muy bueno impacta casi igual que el original thanks

[ZZOTH]

yes, that's actually him singing. if you live in that area you can see him singing on the streets all the time. he has an amazing voice and it's a crime he doesn't have a record deal.

[jhecht78]

he is great!

[timden1]

He is the REAL DEAL.

[Pookyfish]

well when i watched it again im thinking now maybe it is him, and kareoke doesnt mean lip sync

[Pookyfish]

how can you think thats him singing... in the tags for one of them is "kareoke"... and when he finishes he says "thank you" in a completely different voice. definately not him singing, and its not trying to make you think its him singing

[babiigirll89]

actually being a singer myself, i have a completely different singing voice from my actual voice. it doesnt sound like me at all. and i'm pretty sure i'm not lip-syncing. so you might want to come with another reason, because i can tell that it's real.

[ZuzerHun]

lol. the sound was not recorded along with the video. the recording you hear was taken differently ofc - except for the 'Thank you' at the end. this is an edited video clip, thats it.

[friendobrians]

aren't there any new yorkers out there who've seen this talent lately? c'mon.

[evalenzuela]

Is he singing real?, when the old lady talk to him, The voice was not hear it. weird ah?, anyways great show...

[vaiman777]

Yeah it's definately him. Check out Homeless Guy is Amazing here on youtube where he's singing at Let's Get It On at The Apollo.

[a3410]

like friendobrians i also discovered super bad brad just yesterday and think he is amazing. The way he sings the song Ben is clean. scary how crisp. i didn´t find on the internet something that he is dead and hope he is still on the living. otherwise r.i.p. if you have some more clips upload them if possible adolfo. thx.

[krugster3]

Hey Lexmarko1 Where did you get your information from? I hope it is not true.

[Dumboxiaole]

Such a tender and amazing voice. Bravo!

[jkomen]

Is it true?

[nicolez721]

Did Brad really pass away? How sad...

[jkomen]

where did you see that? I am crushed...

[friendobrians]

his "act" is reminiscent of andy kaufmans elvis. the clothing, the hair, the glasses etc. brilliant.

[friendobrians]

just discovered super bad brad. he's f#@%ing amazing. thx adolfo

[redbeard86]

Dude, he was pretty cool. I mean he looks like he was hot back in the 80's but now he should be on an episode of "VH1's Inside Look" or "Where are they now?"

[alllucky]

He's the king. Why doesn't he audition for American Idol. He would win it without even trying. It's not like the auditions don't come to NYC all the time. In the meantime enter some Karaoke contests.

[lyletuck]

He's too old. They won't let him be on American Idol.

[whammycam]

What an Amazing Seasoned VOICE!!! I make me sad to think his voice might go out someday. Let's hope not. I hope it only gets Better!!!

[daisyhank]

I LOVE this guy!!! Wish I would have known about him years ago! Can't get enough of him, but I'm on the west coast. I'm old enough to love and appreciate all of the great songs he is singing and he has such great heart while singing them! Someone record more of him!!

[kalicat19]

Hey this guy is AWESOME !!! I saw him on Orchard St. in NYC the other night and the cops were giving him a ticket.....

[whammycam]

Did you really see this guy on Orchard St. recently... i've been meaning to visit NYC just to see Brad sing. Sooooo sad he got a ticket. That's just wrong!!!

[whammycam]

I've heard the Original Lou Rawl's version but I must say with all respect to Lou... I love this version better.

I can't believe this guy is homeless and singing with an Amazing voice. So sad to see talent like this. I hope someone out there can help him. Sing Him Up!!!!

[pawnedknight]

This guy can surely sing alot better than me!

[whammycam]

AMAZING!!!

[DickoMather]

this is a great film.

[elrevoltoso]

this guy is good( i give him a A+)

[albaguzman]

Exelent, I like that guy its rely good! REBE

[skinnerg]

Bruce Willis in disguise?

[Porkularpie]

I call fake

[ashes2flames]

You're an idiot. Brad has been around for years.

[roncarl]

at the 2:56 mark who pissed in the old woman's cheerios, if she didnt like it all she had to is walk away

[skot66]

there is always one party pooper

[roncarl]

somebody from a recording company needs to sign this man to a recording contract, they are missing out on a great talent. he would blow american idol away

[deliciousvinyl]

God Bless Brad. Mr Delicious Loves Mr. SuperBad Brad.

[Montana889]

my favourite song...i sing it well but not as good as this guy...

[AirCargoHeavy]

Great voice, and he did a good job on a good song.

[whammycam]

Yeah... why isn't this guy making money. Blows my mind how talent like this is rarely seen. A true jem. Keep on Keepin' on BRAD!!!!!!!!!!!

Love it man. The most amazing talent i've seen. Bar none!

[LTDANMAN44]

why isn't this guy making piles of cash! sign him up

[Sohrob1]

WOW. This is EXCELLENT. Thank you Adolfo2500 for posting this wonderful video. Loving and listening to this song for over 30 years, I am pleasantly surprised.

[Mona6888]

What a talent! Where can we see him?

[Damarsh]

He already has been, I saw him perform outside Sheffield City Hall about 5 years ago. at first we thought it was a piss take but then it just carried on inside!

[marcelocanadea]

master of the music.............

[apachedisco]

Awesome.

[Adriana1441]

This guy has a future!

[rindrasi]

Its funny, but at least in this video,if you removed his glasses he actually wouldn't look half bad.

[michael581]

this homeless guy sounds awesome! better then most of the idol contestants. GW Brad

[Hounddoggy33]

Fantasic! My version isn't at all as good as this! Cheers, Brad!

[sminnian]

The only thing sweeter than his singing is that shirt. It's a close call. Love it, Brad, hope you make it as big or small as you want. Good luck.

[Ravenkettle]

Spread this around folks, this man rules.

[SoljahCee]

I guess we're all here because of his Apollo performance?

[awbjr9871]

That's why I'm here.

[ve2vfd]

Thank you so much for posting this... I just saw his "Appolo" clip and just had to see more of him. This man is amazing.

[sh8kspear]

this guy is a legend in the village. transcendent!

[krugster3]

Great!!!! What Talent!

[airmanjayl]

He needs a web site that points out the locations that he usually sings at. I'd gladly stop by to see the show if I'm ever in N.Y. :) Keep feelin' the music, Brad.

[rock3125]

Saw this guy performing on the street in NYC many times. A great performer.

[robsreality]

where does he usually perform? I'd LOVE to catch him...

[krugster3]

I am going to NYC June 23rd How would you find him?

[gilbertzapata]

totally bitchin'!!!

[Janac]

LOL gud job brad, but no one can compare to the original lou rawls---but verry close...

[sarr1s]

PERFECT! Cheers from Athens, GREECE

[rp61]

It's what he does and he does it well. Somebody give this guy a contract. I'd sooner listen to this kind of stuff by a man like this, than the pretty boy/girl band image that is usually fed to the commercially music minded majority... Thanks for the upload Adolfo2500
