How do I audition for this group?
Dude on the keyboard looks like he's having way too much fun.
Haha :D That’s Jack Conte, from Pomplamoose and CEO/founder of Patreon.
Yay for loving your desk job!
Never can have to much fun!!
He's so furiously happy! I thought he was about to stand up and throw the keyboard across the room.
I wish I was capable of so much joy streaming through my body.
Dayum. Kenton is fabulous.
Yup he is amazing
He is a magical musical man.
no, hes HELLA FABULOUS
He makes me smile 😊
Reminds of Phum. Let's chill baby.
I want to feel the level of happiness the keyboardist is exuding throughout this performance.
Do something you love 💕
Or even better, make so much money that you can hire a squad of super talented experts to help you do something you love.

@@orange010 and Pamplemousse 👍
Kenton, has such a solid groove, and a most unexpected range. He’s is also a wonderful mover! loved it!
I had to limit myself to watching this a maximum of 50 times per day
I just saw it this afternoon and I might well hit 50 before bed. Love it so much!
This.
Me tooooo!
Chris Hansen try his “Closer” cover with Postmodern Jukebox. Listened on repeat so much my SO banned it without headphones!
i watch this at least twice a day
Holy shit Kenton. That was a stunning performance.
I love Kenton Chen, come to Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Holy is God's title to use it with excrement surmount to blasphemy
Holy crap, i dont know why i had the impulse to look up covers of this song, but im so glad I did. He KILLLLED IT. Absolutely amazing.
OH my. My wife hates it. Mocking Saint Aretha! Turibile.... Jes Turible. I think I will play it again. Wish me good luck.
Yasssssss❤
Holy is God's title to use it with excrement surmount to blasphemy
Same here.
The Singer is so talented I mean really captures the queens essence
Dude is vocal fire 🔥
Ron Solo PERIODT Pooh 💙💜
He’s feeling it!!

I wish
@@strawberry444 i was special
Naw, he's too good not to share: kzhead.info/sun/nKmemsqpaH2eno0/bejne.html
If I ever find a genie I've got my three wishes covered. His voice, his talent, and his fucking charisma.
My three wishes would be the backing vocalists!
@@trevorgibb1019 100% = )
@@trevorgibb1019 lol 👍
I’m obsessed over this guys energy on the mic I’m listening to everything having to do with him
He's vocal fire.
He looks like my accountant, but then he opens his mouth and channels Aretha herself. Respect.
I see what u did there #respect
Hahahahaha
🤣🤣🤣
I think he's voice is more like Stevie wonder.
ahah you almost killed me
I like how at the end everyone looks at each other.....did we just made magic?!
The guy on the piano just makes my day everytime I watch a video 😂, he enjoys playing, expressions are countless.
He’s in Stanger Things
@@ShazShaun for reals? 🤔 😂
@@stephen-john1677 nah, he looks like the guy, i thought it was him.. that conspiracy theorist guy
He’s the CEO of patreon
The way Kenton improvised the song..is incredible...itsn't easy song to sing...but he did it with joy....make it so easy🎤🎼🎵🎶
i love how kenton delivers his performance. excellent vocals, he emotes the songs and has stage presence 😍
His voice is just so wonderfully silky smooth, expressive, dynamic and calming all at once. ❣️
Like me some Kenton Chen. His enthusiasm is infectious.
I lost count of how many times I enjoyed this version! Kenton singing it's janother level of musicality! Epic as always!!
He had a look about him, like he thinks he is better than me. He is. Better than me. And I'm living for it.
Kenton is the best!
Jakob thank you!!
Kenton Chen I'm now a fan of yours!!! Sending love from the Philippines:-)
He has so much soul! Effortlessly smooth!
Everone can feel that Kenton has so much passion on singing & express his emotion. We love him ❤️
I KNEW I HEARD THAT GUITAR BEFORE SOMEWHERE, I just read the description and realized it was Bruno Major playing in the left. This guy is a legend.
Just look at the face of pure happiness of the pianist.
The voice of Kenton is so smooth, pure magic!!
"i love kenton chan!!!"...
Pure happiness is what I feel listening to this, great job
at 2:04 the backup singers got their shit together. that was great
they did. they were off but at that point it came together
braylon randle It never came together! Lmao
I was like finally lol
it came together at 1:36
The solist is a great performer. Wow! Great voice, awesome confidence. Masterclass in showing everyone how to deliver a believable credible performance just by having fun.
Kenton Chen. Go for it, everything the guy sings is absolute fire
Kenton Chen is absolutely amazing
This is such a sexy, sensitive, rocking, shout of Aretha's/Burt Bacharach's love anthem! Kenton gives his all!!
Lead singer is fantastic. And, I would like to harness some of the joy the keyboard player has and incorporate that into my life. He's so happy! Love it.
The lead singer has a fantastic voice! Back up singers were off in the beginning but got better throughout. That last note was sublime.
Please check out my version of this song, I'd be very very very thankful
The backup singers sounded off till the halfway mark
Kenton has made "geek" .... so COOOL !!! His expression and range is just amazing.
"Geek" is just the first-glance impression of him. Once he opens his mouth, he is a full-on, brilliant funk diva..
2:12 I really love it!! I’m completely sure that I have been hypnotized by Kenton's voice, I dont stop listening to his versions and I never tire
The two exclamation marks are appropriate, Kenton is a star
Listening to Kenton Chens voice is like riding on a magical river made of rainbows made of honey made of sparkles, through a forest of happy trees all the way to a reverse waterfall that flows up to the heavens.
Unhealthy the amount of times I've heard this cover... hahaha I freaking love it! Hugs from Argentina 🇦🇷
This has to be one of the greatest performances ever
Dude on the keyboard looks like he's getting all the cash for these videos.
I'm pretty sure he is
tonydjangolopez exactly
He is the guy that founded what you know as "patreon"
@@freddy5563 Didn't know that... but for sure you can tell by the look in his eyes he's in love with money-making 😂 I guess I wasn't that far off 😅
He's getting cash for a lot more videos than his.
Kenton Chen is magic! Great tribute.
I like the brief bit of stunned silence at the end when everyone was soaking in the joy of knowing how awesome Kenton's magic is
Omg. Been in this playlist for an hour now. Goosebumps all the way through.
@Alexander Wipf Yup! 🧡 And one will repeat a song several times in a row. I love them all, I look at the musicians and the smiles when they know their in a groove or the singer does something so cool - true artists that become one and yet stand out as individuals. Geez, how did i even get on here, oh that autoplay, cause I now will have to listen to at least one song..hmmm, what song what singer. Oh, no, I chose a new song, great to see them again, okay, ciao and enjoy!! ☮💖
Well, this was surprising!!
Right?! 😳
Please check out my version of this song, I'd be very very very thankful
In such a great way.
With all due my respect for the singer ( he is an artist). This guy is perfect for a movie, the way he expresses himself is hilarious ;)
what was?
the pure joy of the girl who is backing (the one with white shirt) when they hit the note is amazing!!! all of you guys are amazing!!! please, keep doing it!!!
Обалдеть!!! Это лучший кавер! Браво, Кентон!
i think i'm gonna name my son "kenton" and i'll say a little prayer that his voice will be near as good as this guy's pipes 😁 youtube's algorithm brought me here and i'm not complaining 😅
The moment I wake up Before I put on my makeup I say a little pray for you While combing my hair now And wondering what dress to wear now I say a little prayer for you Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever and ever, we never will part Oh, how I love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only mean heartbreak for me I run for the bus, dear While riding I think of us, dear I say a little prayer for you At work I just take time And all through my coffee break time I say a little prayer for you Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever and ever we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only mean heartbreak for me I say a little prayer for you I say a little prayer for you My darling, believe me (Believe me) For me there is no one but you Please love me too (Answer his pray) And I'm in love with you (Answer his pray) Answer my prayer now, babe (Answer his pray) Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever and ever we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only mean heartbreak for me
The sass is off the charts. Kenton gives me the chills.
Kenton gets it right, soul music is about feeling what you're singing.
Your videos have just started being passed around by my musician friends up in Toronto - we are a bunch of old farts (60's and 70's) who grew up on this music. Can't tell you how delighted we all are that you are keeping this music alive (and adding your own personal touch to it). Great job! Such a pleasure for us :)
Y’all do not know what this is doing to me! To hear these songs I grew up with as a black woman my mother sang them everybody did performed by who I least expect to sing! Goose bumps! Music will heal this world and bring world peace. Keep her coming!
i love this comment
Wow! Kenton Chen hit those notes perfectly! Love how everyone is having fun.
Unbelievable!!! The best cover I have ever seen in my life. Him & Stan Taylor are the best singers in the world to me. Such style & diversity. Thank you for not being afraid to be yourself and giving me one of the happiest finds ion the internet ever!!!
I think I’ve watched this 10 times in the last week and it makes me feel exactly like Jack Conte at the end. Always cheers me up!!
Who knew this geeky little Asian dude would have the soul of Aretha Franklin living in him. (That's a compliment!)
I don't really think he looks that geeky, he looks kind of artistic according to me.
Don't compare one of the greatest vocalist in history to this man. No comparsion
Nothing geek about Kenton.All magic my friend.Its his gift.It has absolutely nothing to do with race or country.
@@adamjames6421 he is actually better.So no comparison at all.
He reminds me of Steve from American dad. Lol
This dude has a pure note voice. Love the arrangement. Great job!
Well, I guess when you channel your inner Aretha, the fabulousness comes out. Shout out to the Queen, and shout out to Kenton! ❤
OMG....What the hell.... Performance knocked me out. Totally unexpected. So loved this.
I wonder if Kenton taking his jacket off was planned or in the moment. Either way im👏🏾here👏🏾for👏🏾it👏🏾
No, Kenton was feeling it! I don't think it was planned. Lol!
@@adc2327 it was planned u worthless shett
oh my god, here I am jamming out to Kenton like....this guy can sing. And then I look to the right and see Bruno Major on guitar?!?! Does this video get any better. Love
He’s got a great voice - and a good sense of humor, I see.
God I love watching all sorts of different talented people come together with so much passion.
Wow, that man has a whole supernova of soul in him. Hot Damn! Not an easy song to cover at all. I think Aretha would be proud!
This was actually done by Dionne Warwick "then" Aretha Franklin. It was one of many songs from the Burt Bacharach/Hal Davis (RIP) Songwriting Catalogue.
Right I remember hearing Dionne Warrick? Singing didn't even know aretha franklin did it also
This is most wonderful. I guess Kenton Chen is captivating because he was not merely performing. He is expressing joy within that is genuine, honest and from the heart.
Impossible to know which part of this machine is the best! I think the piano player has experienced more joy in 2:59 than I have in decades-long stretches, the singer’s vocal, the harmonies of the back up singers (this song requires perfection from these three - and gets it in spades), the hat-on-backwards drummer with hair so cool it might slow global warming or the rhythm section clued into the back up singers. This is extraordinary talent putting on a clinic in how to love what you do. Thank you for this video.
WELL DONE Scary Pockets! And Kenton, if Aretha does get to hear this somehow, I'll bet she's ... GROOV'N IT. I'm glad SP got you, for this one.
Oh my gosh... He has one of the best voices I've ever heard. Seriously! 👀
I am proud to be part of why Kenton can tell his mother he has 4.2 million views. We tried, my dude. We love you, obv
Oh my gosh! The lead singer has amazing voice!! He's great 😳💖
The vocalist is amazing!!!! WOW!!!! Those runs hunny!!! This is transformative!!!! Lol
Amazing! ALL the musicians are in their "zone" Georgeous and inspiring - Thank you!
That is SICK STUFF! Did anyone notice how stellar the choir is?
This is When creative people collaborate, *Explosion of Goodness* 😁🇵🇭
Great cover! Love the addition of Bruno Major too - great musician!
Oh,I just loved this singer! Makes my soul happy.
What a voice! Beautiful arrangement!
He's impeccable
I’m in love with his voice 😍😍😍
Kenton is simply amazing...really love his voice. Hooked on him esp when he sang CLOSER...and he's got the swag too👏👏👏👏
Love Kenton’s awesome voice and the way he uses it…great backup singers and the musicians are so tight!
HOW DID I MISS THIS UNTIL NOW? I FREAKIN LOVE THIS.
I love it. Thats crazy wow..i didnt want it to end..so soullllfulll
Anybody else thinking that the next Scary Pockets album should be a collaboration project with Kenton?
Come across your video by accident, my god how much i love energy and passion. Best morning ever
I've always said it ,the music nerds will take over the world ,scary pokets have just done it.there originality has confirmed it .never heard anything that good.dont no where you find all these amazing singers they just keep coming one after the other.god bless America.
I love how everyone is so good it doesn’t even matter what the back ups sound like lol everyone is just having fun anyway !! 🥰🥰
Backings are awesome
*Sees bass* "Oh, is that the Sean Hurley signature bass?" *Sees bass player's face* "Oh, is that Sean Hurley?"
FRRGC same thought! I love the diversity of players featured on here
literally my exact thoughts
I just recognised him because of that Jaguar mute by the bridge :-D
Thank the universe for this collective.
His voice is amazing! And I just love how he enjoys singing. Makes me smile.
Kenton has “it”! Incredibly entertaining.
I absolutely love how he sings!!!
I love Kenton and all his adorable moves, a new find and I can’t wait to research his music 😘😘😘
Kenton . . . loved the sass & the snaps. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Awesome!
I love ALL of the Scary Pockets singers, but I'll admit there's maybe a 20 millisecond quicker click from me when I see it's a Kenton feature. Love you all!!!
The energy this dude is giving out is amazing.
Grinning so hard the top of my head may fall off... Kenton and the whole ensemble are deliriosly fun !
