She Gave Up On Singing But A Street Musician Changed Her Mind...

When asking People to sing in New York City, I met Alex. Alex saw my sign and patiently waiting for her turn to sing. Even though she's a trained singer, she reveals to me that she does not want to identify as a singer-- she only wants to sing for fun. I tell her that she's come to the perfect place to sing for fun. Because this is "Sing WIth Me For Free."

As a musician, I'm all about creating musical experiences that have people feeling happy and free, and that's why the "Sing With Me for Free" series exists. Since 2018, I have asked thousands of random people to sing with me on camera. A lot of people have said no, some have said no initially but changed their minds to yes, and some have said yes right away. I ask these people to sing with one purpose: to create a way for them to experience a sense of happiness and freedom they did not feel before. And much of the time, this actually works (and that makes ME happy).

I wasn’t expecting how sweet and beautiful that woman’s voice was going to be. The perfect song choice for her. So happy you added your harmonies Reggie, along with the rhythm you played on your guitar. Absolutely loved it.

As a musician of over fifty years, the thing I have found most common in every person that I've ever met, is that they have a song in their heart somewhere and a compelling bond to music that they stifle at some point during their lives. It's sad, but Reggie, you sometimes give them their voice back in a safe way, and the world is better off for it and so are they.

This girl needs to keep singing and not ever give up! Amazing!

[leakim]

as soon as she start talking to Reggie, I got tears.... she was open and shy at the same time...

[VP]

Alex, if you are reading this, thank you!, that was so good and felt like a hug! Keep on singing, best.

[treeeva]

She definitely needs to keep singing for spontaneous fun. One of those voices that is beautiful so effortlessly. Reggie's vibe is always the wind beneath people's wings. 🕊️🎶🎵✨

[almamater]

That kind of interaction with a total stranger imo completely shows what kind of person you are dude ! People feeling so comfortable around you that they share their story like that, feel free and safe enough to sing in public and bond with you and have fun is just a gift you have and share with the world. Thanks a lot. We need more of this in this world

[The_Oracle_of_time]

You've got a real gift with people Reggie. You'll leave your mark on the universe.

[cinlo]

You’re such a great musician but even more so a person. Thanks Reggie for bringing us the singers we would never hear otherwise. Such joy.

[JamesDavis-qgjl]

I just got goosebumps listening to her sing. I hope she can find a way to re-embrace the obvious joy and love she has for singing.

[randomloveoftrees]

She sings so effortlessly!! It's beautiful! ❤❤ I could listen to her voice all day!! ❤

[laurenhidalgo]

She has a beautiful voice, and I really hope she keeps singing. To sing this song off the cuff without warmup was amazing, and it brought a lot of joy to your viewers.

[Nhilzer]

Alex, please don't ever stop singing, the world needs to listen to you. I'm happy that you did it, thanks Reggie for sharing that with us.

[spiffydigs]

You could tell there was a little nervousness but there were parts where she elevated and commanded that song. One of my all time favorite tunes too. Bravo!

[sandtart]

She was wonderful, not only in her singing ability but her persona. Really nice!

[markbosnick]

Reggie, WOW man! I’m 68 years old and it amazes me to no end when I see such a gifted, talented person that takes a universal language and creates special moments by bringing out the talent of strangers that still have a love for music I grew up loving to listen to. I think you are an exceptional young man and you have just earned my total admiration, respect and love for what you do. Thank you so much for the inspiration I love to see in younger generations. Bless you.🙏🤎👏👏

[davidfrey]

Reggie, I love how you find random people who can rock the mic. And I also love your musicianship. It's spectacular. Thanks for putting smiles on all our faces. Like hundreds of thousands of faces!

[BarnabyWild]

Dude, you bring so much joy into the world. Much love.

[rubensbonfim]

Oh my GOD Reggie! You are an extraordinarily charming soul, and you certainly can't imagine how you manage to bring breath to the hearts of different people spread across so many places in this vast world... I love watching the performances, which only fill my chest with hope for a much better world. ... It is so comforting to see your kindness result and blossom in smiles, for us, but also, for each one of those who venture out, and allow themselves to sing in your company... And today, what a pleasant surprise, we are gifted with the enchanted sweetness, in this beautiful girl by her side, combined with the also enchanting song Will You Love Me Tomorrow - The Shirelles (classic 60's rescued almost in the late 80's, when on the soundtrack of the cool and charming Dirty Dancing).. Here in Brazil (my country of origin), we lived for 4 years, under the regency of a reactionary and perverse president-elect Bolsonaro, the same one, that the great Bono Vox of U2, warned in a show, about the ominous shadow that hovered, around here; the one where the necessary Madonna, positioned herself with the famous phrase: #HE NO! adopted by us RESISTANCE... It was difficult, but we managed to re-elect the current new President LULA, a man wronged, imprisoned by right-wing extremists who dominated the country's seats of power, but that we are gradually purging, and everything is coming back, the something closer to normality and on the way to social repair... Discovering your fantastic channel Guitaro 5000 only helped me to connect with myself, in the midst of turmoil, and with music and everything fascinating that it can provide us. Very grateful always for your beautiful soul, your noble and charming work, in addition to coming across your beautiful man print, and also being able to enjoy, even from afar, with your kind nature ❤️ very happy, I 😁 and may God protect you forever and ever 🙌

The "SONG" itself was calling her ! To remind her to love it (song music etc) and to sing 🎶 thus giving yourself that hug as she so described it .God speed
