  • Some of the words are so nasal they sound like the teacher on South Park. mmm--kay... :) Overall he sounds nice though

  • I got to perform this with him recently (I was in the band). It was truly amazing. He's got plenty of room down there - he did it down an octave in a morning rehearsal! Great talent, killer stage presence, and a true gentleman. It was a joy and a privilege.

  • I saw him do that show and it's still one of the most amazing things I've ever seen on stage. The entire show was spectacular

  • Michael Bell had some big shoes to fill in this role but fill 'em he does!

  • Has anyone ever noticed that every bar of Old Man River is rythmically identical?

    Dah, da, dah dah; da, da, da, dah dah. Genius is not reserved for the old German Masters...although it is little known that Jerome Kern studied in Heidleberg, and just missed the Lusitania on her fatal sailling.

  • terrific.

  • Damn! I've got chills!

  • Fantastic sound - I always aspire so try openmind5050 youtubers and my ol man river try.

    Some say I do well.

  • absolutly amazing i love this song and he sings it so well, he has so much talent

  • Amazing! And there is absolutely nothing nasal about his singing.
