A Jewish Star singing competition previews its contestants: The chosson Choni Teitelbaum sings and plays Yedid Nefesh.
Contender:
Choni Teitelbaum, engaged.
Residence:
Morristown, NJ (moving soon to Crown Heights).
Occupation:
Judaica store owner and a bunch of other stuff (and getting ready for my wedding).
Musical Aspirations:
Music is a big part of me and I mostly enjoy sitting at the piano or jamming with talented musicians.
Reality Check:
I would love to record some original songs but with all the effort that it takes to make it right, I would need them to be good songs that I can relate to. I'm still waiting.
Favorite Singer:
Dudu Fisher.
Favorite Song:
For me to love a song I usually need to connect with the meaning as well. I like K'Sheyiladim by Yehuda Glantz. Lately I've had Benny Friedman's Yavducha and Kol Ma stuck in my head.
A Jewish Star:
Looks like it's going to be fun... Nice to see some good talent here and I'm happy to be a part of it. Thank you!
(And thank you, if I may, to Steve B, Berel B, Ta, the Sirotas, Yitzchok M, the Rosenhaus Family and Yankee for the big and small favors and of course a very special thank you to Neshi for letting it all happen.)
How did you like this audition? vote today (Please note: audition should be judged on the quality of the voice, not the video production)
TO #22: I agree that bsb vid was cool, but i beg to differ, bsb got some sick talent vocally, musically, and creates great music!

Very nice.
It's true that he does not have the most powerful voice or the best range but you can see that he has worked very hard and that he is very aware of his ability's.
The song itself is very nice and he sings it beautifully.
(1/2/2010 7:47:23 PM)

Competition notwithstanding
With voice training he will be his own star regardless of the outcome of this competition. He simply has it in him.

Can do with some voice training, and then can be good. Singing way to fast. But compared to others much better.
the previous contestant was a little over the top
He is just way above everybody else....
I knew one day you are gonna make it big, and I hope the Judges will understand that you are simple Da Best!
Oh btw: Mazal Tov!!!!!
i should know, im a major fan!
nice song, too!
this guy sings just normal and menchlich and that what Jewish music needs.
other contestant is a little to wild!
Hatzlacha and Mazal!
