A Jewish Star singing competition previews its contestants: Real Estate Broker Benny Gammerman sings 'Rachel.'
Contender:
Benny Gammerman, 28, married with 2 children.
Residence:
Aventura, FL
Occupation:
Real estate broker.
Musical Aspirations:
Music will always be at the center of my life. I am a Baal Tefilah, I enjoy singing among small groups and friends, as well as simches and I've composed several songs.
Reality Check:
I'm from Brazil and moved to the U.S. 10 years ago. Daily life didn't give me a chance to do more musically.
Favorite Singer:
Besides enjoying many of the new generation's singers, MBD and Avraham Fried are my best musical memories from the 1980's and early 1990's.
Favorite Song:
Can't point out one only, a huge fan of Yossi Green's songs.
A Jewish Star:
Great idea! Just thank you for the opportunity.

what?!!
I was cringing after the first few moments, please no offense here, but no range, ok voice, straining by every high note, going off tune, and the ending, what was that at the end??!! Sorry but an OK voice is all I give this guy, stick to kumzitz and local gatherings to sing your heart out.

You nasty man you. As my father still says, if you have nothing nice to say...don't say nothing at all.
(1/4/2010 2:33:48 PM)
16
nice!
he plays nice and sings nice, he doesn`t seem like a guy that is trying to be a STAR, he seems like pleasnat guy to listen to. he has a certain aidelkeit, its not blowing anything away, but its very enjoyable. i hear a song, not a guy who is trying to become a star...five points. thaks collive

sweet and from the heart
Like you guys asked, we are not judging the production, but the potential of the voice , of the interpretation. This one is very sweet and from the heart, that's hard to find. This is called pnimius. A star is born & a good producer will get him there. Congrats you'll be on the tops.
(1/4/2010 3:32:35 PM)

to 16
i totally agree with you, what makes him different is that he delivers a song in a way u could hear the soul of the song, he has that bittul! thanks for pointing that out #16!

NICE!!!!
Very beautiful!!!!! Nice to listen to!
I would rather this than those whole fancy vidoes with all the shtick. It's a singing contest not anything else!
To number seven: I think you should be ashamed of your words, i never knew that a jew could be so mean and critical to a fellow yid!
(1/5/2010 6:20:21 AM)
32
To all and 7
Hey ppl, this is a competition here...if someone can't take a little critique than he shouldn't put himself out there to be judged.
I do think that 7 was a bit blunt (regardless of the "no offence" which is hard to accept) and it's not his place to judge harshly but he doesn't either need to see a Dr or be called evil although I wouldn't hire him for PR.

Go Benny Go
Definitely the best by far. This is a singing contest not the best video produced contest. So he has my vote and everyone else should because the other ones that people like are the ones that have a lot of shtick going on in their video. So everyone should rethink and vote for the best voice not best video production. Also singing in a studio will come out much nicer than being recorded with just a camera. So this being said i hope everyone understands what i'm saying. VOTE FOR BENNY

This is a great gift from Hashem, continue developing and nurturing, very soon your efforts will be rewarded in a big way, The Rebbe thought us, that we are all lamplighters each in it's own capacity. Benny you and music are in perfect harmony, being a Cohen, Leader,full of Midos Tovos, Talmid Chacham, you have all the right qualities that we all look for that our own kids should follow, we really hope with real sincerity in our harts that you rise as the champion. from your secret admires GO BENNY GO, GO BENNY GO, GO BENNY GO
