[PikachuJackskeling94]

[brandonscuddlebunny]

[MORTALcupcakeXxXx]

You are a very cool boy :)

Otto

[Rdanishei]

Beautiful voice!!

[hivarocks303]

i know him :D

[ouyekiltipuehtesra]

Omg I wasn't it expecting him to be this great O_O. I usually don't comment on videos, but for this i'll gladly make an exception.

[henryleona]

This is the first time i heard this young boy sing. He was absolutely amazing. His voice and his presentation was just unbelievable. Keep up the Good work young man.

[surgboy4791]

Amazing does not begin to describe you, Oliver... "Defying Gravity" is a beautiful song that is not easy to sing and you nailed it.

[TheJuiceTVxx]

chills... i have chills! He is simply AMAZING!

[nanasworld341]

WOW. I was not expecting this voice either. Im a sound engineer, and I'm hearing a bit of autotune (melodyne) in the voice. The fact that there is a decent backing backing track and some FX (reverb, delay) further validate my suspicions.

BUT! that doesnt mean I was not impressed by this kids talent. Be who you feel you need to be, keep up the good work!

[doubleflarp]

@nanasworld341 he sounds the same live

[Bleedingedgehx]

@nanasworld341 autotune? Maybe just a little, it's a studio cut. But this boy has pipes for real though. He is definitely not being carried by the software by any means. This boy has the juice!!!

[EnvironmentSaver712]

god bless him

[eduardamsc]

really really good

you just took portugal to be your fan wow like...amazing

[danny22111]

WOW

[micheleDetwiler]

WOW! I was not expecting this at all! I have a contact at the Ellen show! I'm definitley forwarding this video!

Oliver you are on your way!!!!!

[Walmart193]

Dude this kid owns Justin Bieber anytime. I wonder how he did all of this??

[kellyaurora]

this is absolutely superb!

[brettjm18]

what a gem

[ryanfitz1111]

this video changed my life.

[MidnightTrainStudios]

It's like Justin Bieber only 20x beter!

[FreezingFyre]

You wish you were this good, Justin Bieber!

[natphan]

Damn!!! Puberty will suck! He is so good!

[TheKARMACREW]

omg he needs to do a duet with IDINA I BELIEVE HE'D MAKE HER CRY

[PurpuhlRowboht]

Holy crap. That's what I call talent.

[MusicallyDan]

I must say Bravo! Please audition on Broadway! You would be perfect! You have such a strong voice and that is just what they need! Keep it up! The world needs more talented singers like yourself. You can go far!

Musically,

Danielle

[Tellyounolies]

HOLY SHIT.

[EuphoniumMeister]

Mad props an awesome kid right here :D keep on doing it big and you will make it

[MotherOfGodItsShawn]

wow this kid was amaz--all i have to say is, yes. simply, yes.

[alexstone6148]

Awesome!!! Oliver is a natural. The production of his video is A++++ "BRAVO"

[tiffzastar]

Oh my goodness!!! Just like CybilBennett, I was on facebook and found this on the right side bar. I am so glad I clicked on it! I never thought I would hear such an incredible and talented voice come out of a 9 year old like that. Oliver, you are AMAZING!!!! Your singing left me in awe and definitely gave me chils. You have so much talent going for you. I hope to see you on Broadway or National Tours because you will make it. I know it!!!

[isacamposs]

hes beyond awesome... he so needs to go to ellen

[1m6]

OMG. that was beyond amaaaaziing!

[8prieskd]

I bet Idina's green with envy that some one can belt this better than her!!!

[Sophiebopbop]

Wow,I got goosebumps!

[CamdogFX]

get this boy on Ellen

[jasminehare1]

That was absolutely incredible.

[dhogan47]

Man that gave me chills

[iluv2tumble143]

wow....amazing. this literally brought tears to my eyes<3

[teddy71894]

OH SHIEEET!!

[rubyqueen808]

This is amazing! DANG that boy can belt it! I'm sharing this video with as many people as I can!

((However, the tiny little skeptical voice in my head wonders what he'll sound like when he hits puberty))

[markbundles2]

This kid is down right amazing. I have seen many good kids that can sing, act and dance but he is just the best. I got goosebumps the entire time! Amazing work, Oliver!

[TheFinalFrame]

DAMN!

[ACWProductions101]

I can't believe the 21 ppl who disliked this....they must be deaf.

WOW! THIS VIDEO BLEW ME AWAY! It sent real chills down my spine!!!!!!!

speechless.

[crazygirl97]

damn. he's good.

[WaHayatiAndak]

Wow! Amazing voice. Looking forward to hearing more of you. Issa's mom.  Hope you enjoy your gifts from the engraving store.

[bernardhill1010]

wow. i have watched it like 5 times already. Amamzing singing (work on the acting a bit but fine for a 9 year old). Perfect tone and great projection, good job with holding the long notes. Gave me chills hearing it so well. Dont wear glasses next time. Eyes can give off many emotions and would be better we could see them. LOVED IT!!! You should sing some more wicked songs.  Like No Good Deed, you would do great with that one i think.

[ilovemyman148]

your soooo amazing!!! honestly i was expecting like a high bad voice that only a parent would like but you gave me goosebumps it was so good!!!!!

[geowolves3]

Awesome - I got the chills listening to it. One of my favorite songs and he gave Idina Menzel & Lea Michelle a run for their money!!!!

[ActingGirl22]

Oh my gosh! I so was not expecting him to be this amazing!

I'm also trying to make it big, as I love to act and sing. Therefore, I'll do all I can to spread the word about his talent :) Keep on singing, and don't give up!

"Never underestimate the power of your own dreams." :)

Sincerely,

ActingGirl22

[AlexC973]

kid seriously i really hope puberty doesnt ruin your chances you are unlimited with a voice like that :)

[TheNathanatorXX]

He really needs to go on America's Got Talent or something of that nature. He's really unbelievable!

[aaronboi77]

Damn..hopefully he can still sing like this when he grows older..

[Snapshot3]

holy shit

[Junkyz22]

Oliver Richman is is my class and the girl.

[Jerricax0x0]

Holy crap, he's good! Freaking Amazing. :0

[ShanaynaysHomegurl]

Oh my God. Kid, you have talent. Defying Gravity is one of my all-time favorite songs, and you made an amazing cover. Does anyone know if he's ever taken a voice lesson or something?

[TheVanillaGurls]

I don't comment a lot... I've been a member on YouTube since 2006... I've commented 2 times. This deserves a comment. You're amazing, you've got talent, now do me a favor and do something with it!

[idinakristinfan4ever]

[coumptergeeks243]

I saw this on an ad on facebook, I clicked it.

I am truly amazed at your voice, this gave me the goosebumps. Amazing job! :)

[imbethondion]

Dang!

[CybilBennett]

Wow what an amazing video find. I was on facebook and found this on the right side bar and of course had to click it. I was not expecting to hear a 9 year olds voice to be this amazing. But I can honestly say this video sent chills of wonderment down my spine. Oliver is fantabulous. I really hope he keeps up with any training he's doing or will take. He has so much talent.

I would like to know who the beautiful young girl was in the video? She has such charisma.

[soccergurl12830]

@CybilBennett agreeeeed. Facebook <3

[DefyingGravity767]

This is Amazing ! 

[cavalodorio]

Wow! Oliver, you have amazing vocal skills! I wish you the best of luck in your career.

[RoxMMTheatre]

Oliver,  I met you when you were 4 years old when you came to Post Street Theatre in San Francisco with your mom and Sandy. You have grown into a very talented young man with an incredible voice - of course I'm looking at who your mama is and why would I be surprised-:)

Love seeing you with Grandma Aurora!

I wish you the very best in your performing career, I'll probably turn on the TV one of these days and there you will be, performing like a pro. What a treat!!!!

Roxanne

[krnsngr85]

I think he is a wonderful!!!
