It doesn’t only take a nice voice to grab people’s attention. Of course, it is one of the primary magnetic tools that a singer must have in order to nail a performance. But in this generation, it is not unusual to witness public performers, with not so excellent voice quality, being praised by a large number of fans.

On the other hand, with the availability of auto-tune, fixes can be made on a vocal performance. This device is created to tune either a voice or sound of a musical instrument so that the desired tune is achieved. So, if you are watching a particular musical video, what you are hearing may not be a hundred percent the real voice of the singer. This now results to a scenario where there may not be a dividing line between real singers and performers.

To elucidate the point, someone who has excellent stage performance can have a higher chance of building an empire of his fandom as compared to one with high quality voice who is not so great at performing on stage or dancing. With auto-tunes, it is easier to fix the voice than to fix stage presence.

Going back to this boy who is singing on a subway in NYC, we can tell for sure that his raw voice didn’t undergo any auto fixes – and the only thing we hear is his plain golden voice and the faint sound of the accompanying guitar. In addition to his voice, it is noticeable that this boy is so comfortable and confident while he sings. No traces of fear or hesitation can be noted, which makes this performance very much enjoyable. He is very relaxed and focused on what he is doing.

Not even the fact that the train is moving and he has to hold onto the bar to keep his balance, posed as a problem for him to give his heart to his performance. Moreover, with the fact that he is singing inside a public transportation facility, some passengers may show disinterest. For performers, especially the younger ones, this would undermine their confidence and enthusiasm to continue performing, but this boy did not manifest any sign of discouragement – he went on singing and he did it really well. Great job, buddy!

One intriguing question one may have is – why did he sing on a NYC subway train? Was he rehearsing for a school performance or something else? Is it an act in compliance with an adult instruction? Or, maybe he just wanted to share his golden voice and serve as an inspiration to anyone hearing him sing. Who knows? There can be thousands of inferences to plot this scene, but at a second thought, those don’t matter at all. What matters is that he shared a moment – a positive, inspiring moment that may have changed the mood of some of the passengers riding on this NYC subway train. What a moment!
