Jewish Star Season 2 My Thoughts: Day 3

Hi this is Day 3 of my thoughts on The Jewish Star Season 2 Contestants. Everyday I am taking 10 of the contestant and posting there YouTube video and my thoughts on there performance. I took the time to highlight the guys I liked in bold.  I mentioned in some that I thought they were like any random cantor or any random wedding performance. To perform at a wedding or to be compared to a cantor is an honor.

Update!! Please Reread Shimmy Atlas. I updated it.

Reuben Antolin: Oh this was funny. The singer and his “band” took a Rock Band guitar, drums, and mike, and then took the music to “Moving to Israel (Making Aliyah)” by Jewish rap group Breaking Down Mechitzas and just jammed. I can’t wait to here what the judges say about this entry.

David Ackney He was a bit repetitive in the lyrics that he self composed into a song. Otherwise he had a good voice. But nanananannanananana!


Natie Grossnass: England’s got talent! This guy is good! He just needs a video. I would have preferred if the song was in English but from my understanding, according to the comments he does a very good job at pronouncing the Yiddish words.



Shimon Atlas: The video seemed very old, and I could hardly hear. Update! After turning up the volume Shimon Atlas sounds like any other cantor or wedding performer.


“Nachas” Baldinger: Took stuff he did at weddings and edited it together to make a video. It was really loud in the backround in most of the clips so I can’t really say judge his singing.


Yosef Zuber: Are you singing or chanting?


Mendy Jacobson: Very nice video, I enjoyed watching. His voice is pretty good. Not going to lir, I thought it sounded a bit played with.


Dovid Pinter: That was video was very nice , and a very impressive self composition. Your voice sounded very nice.

Binyamin Guttman: Well he took the time to make a video so that was good. I felt like his voice had some trouble reaching those high notes.


Yitzy Goldsmith: Sung in english so I was very happy. The song was also self composed and it was very good, with meaningful lyrics. His video was nice, and his voice was good.
 Any Comments?

  1. I am sorry you can't hear it. Everyone seems to have no problem. Yes, it is a little old, but I think I did a nice job and everyone I speak to says they enjoyed it. Try turning up your speakers :-)

  3. Well, while I don't consider myself a cantor (singers sing and cantors can't) I do sing at weddings so you have me pegged correctly.
