March 30, 2009 2:19 pm

to no 24:quite obviously you have graduated from ot,it shows very clearly in your obscene spelling errors.
to no. 33:i don’t know where you come from,but nice work in spelling ‘professional’ right-it was a good idea to use a dictionary.
to no. 69: if you really meant it,you probably shouldn’t have left a comment-the more an open (well,sort of) forum succeeds, the more the creators of this informative website will want to use it.
and lastly,to yoni:i greatly enjoyed the lyrics of your song,which will hopefully be a smashing success-my family in England is eagerly awaiting its arrival!

annoyed CH'er
March 25, 2009 4:46 am

if we had internet by back when Avraham fried was starting up everyone would have post the same exact comments negitive and positive (but back in the day there was still 770 gossip), and they will still go to judaica world to purchase a copy of his cd. I personally was in Yoni’s class and i saw a lot of potential while we we’re growing up, so dont share your wisdom if you only saw him onstage once or twice and say the first smartest thing that comes to your mind first.

UR COMING !

c’mon you all sound like a bunch of…. seriously, all of you just grow up. you sit here and wirte ur whole life story, and have full on conversations. if you like his voice and all, say it! say hes amazing, good or whatever. and if you dont like his voice etc. then keep it to yourself, no one needs to hear it. and to #45 that was the sickest thing you could have ever said publicly. like what are you trying to do? ruin his reputation. kay i never ever write comments on other sites i just think the… Read more »

wow you must have nice garage doors. do you at least harmonize while you drive in and out?

ADVISE from the WISE
March 23, 2009 7:23 am

if you don’t like him then DON”T hire him. But notice that there are a LOT of people who do like and actually PAY HIM MONEY to make their wedding rocking! he doesn’t sing for free i heard that bands never let free singers because they have a whole line out the door of free singers. so all the weddings that he did, guess what, people liked him so much they paid for him, again and agian. doesn’t mean you have to. you could hire a band without a singer bec. maybe someone in the crowd will think that the… Read more »

you guys are hilarious
March 23, 2009 6:04 am

if he wasnt good at singing- he wouldnt be the busiest singer in chabad lubavitch today. and anyone involved in music we’ll tell you that. his future is big. mark my word!

March 22, 2009 4:48 pm

Incredible Yoni! You’ve got lots of talents and a bright future paved out ahead for you! Feel free to completely disregard all these irrational comments that come out of these close minded, ignorant, condescending, and judgmental lubavitchers!
Rock on Yoni!!

March 22, 2009 4:13 pm

Yes he did do something to me ruined my experience at a good friends wedding. (he sounds like my garage door).
He should work on gifts that G-d gave him but singing is not one of them.

KEEP IT UP:)

Do we REALLY want Moshiach?
March 22, 2009 9:36 am

Opinions can be negative, and in this case, many are. Why? Did Yoni do something wrong to you, personally? If yes, tell it to him. He’s a nice kid, has a lot of talent, and is obviously working to perfect the gift Hashem gave him. If he didn’t chose you to be his mashpia, it isn’t your business whether he is in Yeshiva or not. Not every boy is cut out of the same mold. He’s not “on the streets”, he’s not setting a bad example either. IF WE WOULD ALL BE ‘dan l’kaf z’chus” and have AHAVAS YISRAEL –… Read more »

March 21, 2009 9:11 pm

Everybody Thinks their talented, and when they say it about them self it doesn’t look to good. most talented people know their talent’s but will never say they are “talented”.
To 16. as for “professional” you should be very careful when you use that word it caries and means allot, and it’s something you wont find often in the “frum” world.

Go Yoni!

u have an excelllent voice!

Not to impressed
March 21, 2009 5:51 pm

He is not meant for a singer in my eyes, a chazzen maybe! he has a big vision but looks like he aint meant for it!

what's negative?
March 21, 2009 5:26 pm

to #24…what negative comments?
they are just opinions…
he sings in public places so everyone who hears him gets to judge for themselves its a matter of opinion its not negative

stage style
March 21, 2009 4:47 pm

visual is also important. time to work on the body language style.

i just dt understand why col allows such negative comments to be posted! i am a proud lubavitcher 20 year old and as i read this, i cringe at what other people can be commenting. all i can say is, i hope that these nasty comments aren’t lubavitchers. anyway, i personally did lots of work in benshimon’s studio- he’s great and the studio couldnt be better! and as far as yoni, i have and ear for music and i am talented myself, and i am extremely impressed by his voice. just think twice before you comment, and if u dont… Read more »
