One of the most popular finalists of A Jewish Star Season One, Baruch Sholom Blesofsky, has put his own twist on a popular song by the most famous Chassidic Jew in the music industry.
Matisyahu‘s ‘One Day,’ which was chosen as the official song of the 2010 Olympics, is the song featured in Blesofsky’s new of clip, who says he wanted to give the song “a different feeling.”
He rewrote some of the lyrics and used auto-tune and other effects, with music by Shaya Lieberman.
“The proof of a good composition is when it can be sung in various genres,” he told COLlive.com. “I chose this song because it has a deep message.”
Shuky Greenberg was in charge of photography and overall production. Yisroel Silman did the video production and editing.
Blesofsky says he intends to release more of his own compositions soon (like “Tell It To Them“) and thanked “all my fans out there for your constant support. It helps me continue writing.”
He said his composing work for Mordechai Ben David and his son Yeedle is “moving forward” but did not want to elaborate at this point.
We asked him what are his thoughts about A Jewish Star Season Two.
“Both seasons’ judges are and were great. Mendy Pellin praised me, so my opinion is biased. Avraham Fried – who am I to comment? He’s the best. And Eli Gerstner is a great choice because he’s a producer, arranger, composer and engineer. His opinions are well-rounded.”
Blesofsky was chosen by the public as one of the 10 finalists of Season One, but he says he’s not auditioning again. “Baruch Hashem, I got what I wanted even without winning.”
In Season One there were complaints that the judges paid attention to the performance and production of the audition and not only to the quality of the voice.
Blesofsky said that it’s justifiable. “There are 2 aspects that make a succesful artist: Musical ability and personality,” he says.
As for tips and advice to new contenders he says, “Connect to your audience! Sing from your heart. Don’t be a diplomat when singing a song, save that for the interviews.”

Handsome chassidish boy with a real talent. Up for shidduchim yet?

BS?
or LB?
shliach in london
AMAZING!!!!
Much better than last year. Excellent.
74% of collive audience love the song as is. Some have even requested a CD by bsb
11% like song but think there’s too much hand movement and feel that it takes away from the song
11.75% like the song but don’t like the autotune and like with the hand movements, it takes away from your professional voice
2% are fans of blesofsky but are disappointed with this song.
1.25% think that bs isn’t fit to be a singer. They don’t like the voice, hand movements or autotune.
bsb
this was great keep it up
my kids were happy to meet a new cousin
continue
great job keep on singing i luv it
Overall, I liked it…
but some advice BSB:
1) Stop using autotune! Your voice is great without it.
The problem with music this day is the abusage of AutoTune, which takes away the talent of that singer. You dont need to depend on that stuff, cuz your voice is great.
2) The hand movements, Whats up with that?
Kol Hakovod! I liked this…. Keep them coming BSB, and listen to some of the critique, there useful.
BSB, you have an amazing voice. I know since you’re a kid.
My first thoughts The Vocoder is cool for subtle effects here and there, and you should let your voice shine through. But, the tuth is, what do I know, just have fun… who cares… if this works for you, knock yourself out!
Havoneh.
appreciate those words from whomever sings them.
he knows who you are;)
That is awesome! the only thing is that i would really love to hear your voice without garage band in the way. I want to hea the original voice hashem gave you. PLEASE p.s. dont litsen to all those people who say youre not good. dont let them get in the way. those people obviously dont even know what music means so they shouldnt be talkng. SERIOUSLY! PLEASE MAKE A CD! I would buy it the first day its out.
i really liked it!!!
i love it continu your amazing job we want more
of your music i hope you win jewish star but if you
would do a little less movements with your hands then it
would much better but it is still realy good
this is yet the best hasidic music overall performance, with the gr8 video and vocal keep em coming real talent not often seen
the video is absalutly amazing truly unbelivable beautiful effects good job and continue with the great work and as to baruch shalom ummm i think u should hold off on the hand motions
you are awesome dont listen to what neone is saying u rock and i luv ur tell it to them song . oh and do not get haircut love shaggy look!!!!
oh and to everyone else…PAWS OFF HES MINE!!!!
baruch shalom, as long as your music is true to you, no one else matter…
awesome. ye those hand motinos are weird. but reat song -wanna release on tinues?
i wanna sign up for jewsish star were can i get a music vid taken
I love all the apparent love being displayed. The advice that one yid is offering to another, mamash heartwarming. Boruch sholom, look what u accomplished. Boruch, blessings and sholom, peace. And also a kohen!! Mamash beautiful.
LUV IT!!!!
IVE BEEN PLAYING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!
MORE THAN 20 TIMES! NO JOKE!
ITS NIT IN AN ALLY PROB IN SOME STUDIO THT HE RECORDED
I like the style of music a lot – quality voice and synthesized. But you gotta cut out the dance moves. I love you as my fellow Jew and this is what’s best for you 🙂
decent voice, horrendous hand movements and to #152, firstly u can hear there is a bit of digital help but auto tune is when the voice goes up and down different keys and instead of sliding naturally, each key that it changes to is distinctly heard, a clear eg is @ 1:58, its kinda cool sound and some artists use it but mainstream its frowned upon cuz it cheapens real talent. and that’s the scoop 🙂
that was hilarious. srsly laughing. but he does have a good voice just found the video very entertaining.
the great Chossid Chaim Tashkenter or the wonderful 770 Chazzan early yrs, r’ Avrohom Blesofsky singing this song. BS, can you compose a song that would make your zaide’s want to hum along?
better than the original “one day” (more chassidish)
can you be my math tutor?
Blesofsky singing – autotune & hand moves + more thought out video scenes = greatness.
BSB ROCKS!!
GO BSB! YZ
I like that the setting is Kan Tziva. Funny though the “slum” background is right in some Crown Heights Alley.
1- not going to mention the hands cuz obviously thats the way you move and stuff (not my favorite though).
2- Love the new arrangements to the song but would like to hear more of your own stuff; like that crying song.
3- would like to know what your real voice sounds like.
g luck
wow! hes chabad’s most eligible bachelor!!
go boris the music is great
GO Boruch Shalom! YOU ROCK!
YOUR THE BEST, THE MOST TALENTED PERSON!!!! EVERYONE KNOWS IT ! WE LOVE YOUR MUSIC KEEP IT UP! LOVE YOUR CUZINSSS:)
my kids cant stop singing and watching- in Australia
I’m looking for the autotune, I don’t really hear it. Am i hard of hearing or is everyone mistaken? Please fill me in…..
AWESOME
b maybe work on the hand moves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rly like it:) e/o its possible that the harmony makes it sound autotune but he rly does have a gr8 voice! also, what kinda of one day wud it b w/o autotune- or more like what kinda BS song wud it b w/o autotune, lol:)
bro that was terrible i’m sory baruch i luv u but stick 2 chassich music dat was BAD!!!
His voice is nit but the beats in the back are horrible
plus theres way to much auto tune!!!
Please, at least for my kids, this is NOT chassidisheh music. I like the auto tune and it’s a great remix- keep it up Boruch! OMG I heard this guy is single 🙂
if you want to make music, come up with something original. why ruin a good song?!
Boruch SHolom, stop drinking so much coffee.
But Keep on doing what your doing! You’re awesome man!
Much Love from California
very nice !!! keep on goin!!!
very nice
If u don’t like the hands, but enjoy the song,there is a minimize on the top right side of the screen, click it and lo and behold, ull HEAR the song but won’t be so deeply disturbed to SEE the hands. It sounds like a lot of u are suffering from this. I hope I was able to help some fellow yidden out and minimize their discomfort. Ahavs yisrioel brings moshiach.
i like it alot theres tons of this song n i think its one of the best!!!
I loved it. i think he has a talent but I agree with 8. The hand motions are kind of out of place. They did not do much for the song.
This is def better than the original
but why is he saying he doesn’t want to enter the contest?
I saw that he did enter his audition but then it disappeard so whats the truth?
I want the see some competition! Dont chicken out!
Either he saw the competition and he doesn’t want to lose
or ummm idk cause that makes NO SENCE!?
If u want to use autotune then use it sliggggghhtllly to correct minor imperfections and not totally change your voice….
beautiful song i couldnt stop listening to it good job go baruch sholom!
u did this (allready great) song justice & thats a major accomplishment, keep it up!
emotional and pure voice.
great job!
Very Nice Baruch Shalem, ur brother Avraham once sang by my Abbas Chabad house very nicely
but whats with the hands???
the hand shtick are to ward off an eiyen horeh
Shaya Lieberman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i still agree, keep it classy
took my all time favorite song and made another really gr8 version! nothing beats matis, but for the age and experience…. AWSOME STUUFF!!!! love the voice, mood, and tune… though kinda annoying with the auto tune… KEEP IT UP!
the word auto-tune may be new to you but im sry to say that most ppl knew abt it way b4 he mentioned it!!!
Don’t Agree
keep up the music videos.. (not the visual ones)
14 – I don’t think he’s trying to beat Mattisyahu.
51 – And if he would hire a professional choreographer, I doubt he would give him a better alternative to hands. He’d probably give him some very wacky dance moves.
Y u insulting bob marly???
beautiful i couldnt stop listing to it good job
that was nerdy
you made it baby, you made it. i knew you would
OMG ur song is amazing!!! I really like it, plus your voice is very good.
congrats !! this thing is awesome!!! good luck!!!!!!!!! keep em coming!!!
very nice
i truly dont appreciate this type of music, but it seems to have krept into our bones from outside..at any rate- this was soothing and deep and beautiful..keep up the good work!
chanie, tell BS ,im hooked this time! and BS,im a fan of chani as well! H
and remixed it. I love this version.
For those of you who have issues with BS’s hand gestures, if that’s the only thing criticism, I guess it’s not a bad sign that BS ROCKS, he has a GREAT voice!!!
You have talent and it’s great to see you using it.
Much hazlacha in all you do!
When will you make your own CD?
I’m a buyer!
wow that was AMAZING!!! i love ur videos keep it up!!
WOHOO GO BAROCH SHOLOM IM A PROUD COUSIN
MIRIAM H:)
but the choreogrephy needs a little fix
U ROCK!!!!!!!!!
jewish music you could enjoy we need more ppl like you
s.g
now cud we listen to that song??????? or we still not allow to listen just cuz its a matysiahu song?
colorful voice
wowow very beautiful but dont u think matisyahoo will be a little upset that everyone loves blesofsky and no one loves him???????????? maybe u should say”matisyahoo a nd blesofsky are both amazing!!!!!
Bs managed to deliver a reggae song in a warm style, love it and love the harmony!!!! Awesome
nice song, I dont know about the extent of the autotuning ….
amazing!!!!! just his hands are making me nervous.
omggg can u sell it on itunes? so i can buy it and put it on my ipod?>?>>>>???? PLEASE BS… and tell it to them!>?
All I can say is Boruch Hoo Uvaruch Shmo! Amen!!
Cuz Lay
Don’t listen to the naysayers!
My kids are humming away….
but im at a loss for words at those dance moves!!one word – bless!
Not saying mattisyahu’s bad, its just not my type of music. , I like this a LOT better. I actually really enjoy this. Blesofky mannaged to make me like a song that I had no interest in. That takes an amazing amt of talent. Now, would be able to remix some other mattisyahu songs? That would be great!!!
If only he knew how to dance. The song itself is beautiful
this is a song for CROWN HEIGHTS stop the fighting enough already……………………….
hahahahahaha
hand moves!
great voice!!! but…….
what’s with the hands??? and….
off tune…….
you must be a guy:)
Bsb is NOT using autotune for most of the song. He is so talented that his voice merges with the music without the autotune so for those who don’t like the auttune, listen again, there really isn’t much.
thinks yisroel rocks the house..
This guy never fails to deliver garbage. He killed a great song with an autotunes disaster.
is there a woman singing with him or is that his voice that sounds like a woman voice…. confused here
i highly disagree with you
but nothing beats matisyahu’s original.
Ignore everyone’s nasty comments. they’re just jealous of you and your talent.
awesome song and great chayos!!
Boruch Sholom – beautiful. azkir al hatzion.
זה מדהים, ממש יפה
גם בארץ אוהבים את זה
he needs to be handcuffed for the next video.
mabey you wanna give it a shot…? and as far as i see i dont recognize any of these streets…..
So cool. Love the feel.
all those who dont appreciate some fun and good music, just dont write comments. no need for negativity…i know some day itll all turn around..
GOOD JOB!
GO BORIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 IT!
I’m sooo happy more religious singers are coming out with different styles, the reason kids are listening to not jewish music is because we don’t have enough of this stuff…
keep it up!!!
why is this guy not alot more famous?
not a contestant!
not to burst ur ego.. but try an separate ur so evident jealousy for 1 with more talent then any1 who had nerv to give what he has , and ur pure ignorance, however keep the constructive criticism coming its good for business
nice they teach u well in oholay torah
great video, great voice, great song 🙂
nice job
i thought you love chsidishe music
very very well done GO boruch
and shuki gr8 job
1st part of video- no autotune.
Why’d you put autotune in the 2ndpart?
your voice is GREAT with out it!!!
lol! love 1:19! who’s he racing with? 🙂 awesome! keep up the great work bsb! your voice is amazing! Totally agree with 47 and 49!
Awsom job! Such Talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not so into the hand motions thoug
all you jealous folks come up with another piece of criticism besides for auto tune.
A realative.
Autotune is an affect, it give the song that electric sound like Benny Friedman’s Veyiten L’cha or MBD’s Be’inyan Hasimchah Etc. etc. etc. There is expensive technology that can re-pitch an off tune voice but I don’t think Meleki has it in his studio.
You ROCK MAN!
Real talent!
You will go FAR!!!!
can he sing without the machines is the question.
the videography is great. kudos to the greenberg and silman team.
Has an awesome voice without autotune!
autotune is for ppl who cant sing… not saying u cant, but if u can than stay away from it. it may be a cool effect once in a while but it really takes away from a persons voice.
i’m soo with u no beats matis
Are you single? cute and talented.. great combo!!!!
from how good it is you can see Shuky Greenberg had some thing to do with it.
he is so good at this things…….
Why can’t he just sing normally and not use auto-tune? Anyone can sound good using autotune!!! Probably can’t sing without it…
I can’t wait to hear all the comments on auto tune. I love the way everyone feels an authority to opinionate about it when BS educated the lubavitch community on that worf. Go boruch!!!! You’re adorable!
Ps, what’s the newest word of the day in the music industry?
Very nice video 🙂
Gershon Shapiro
i think its great
but he needs to learn some choreography instead of all the hand motions, seriously!!!!!
sounds great and i really enjoyed it!!! the hand were a little weird… but to each his own right?
I love him and his music. Goes right to the heart. I hope he makes a CD real soon. He is just awesome.
A Fan
Nice! Please get a haircut 🙂
I like how he makes the song softer
one day was nbc’s official Olympic theme song the Olympics did not have a song
Another fine production by BSB!!!…keep em coming 🙂 :).
P.S So sad that some ppl just have to be so negative…if u have nothing nice to say….DON’T!!!!!!
THIS IS VERY GOOD!
Great Job BS!
Choni Grunblatt
Great Job
Love it..
I personally don’t like reggae but I liked the way Blesofsky sang t this song, interesting take.
replayed in a bunch of times!
whats with the hands! lol
graet voice thought.
Glad I get to hear your voice this time, it’s beautiful, he style exellent, the overall acting pretty good but you should have scrapped the hand motion in the beginning, the video mixed feelings. Overall 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.
You outdid yourself!! Please continue to entertain us with quality productions! Keep it up!!
i love it
He’s Got My Vote!!! i watched it (litterly NO exaggeration) 10 times!!!!!
Your fans in Florida love it!!
you could really use a reality check
boruch sholom you are the best.
but the judges wont let you win, they are afraid to share the stage with you.
Great job 🙂 allot better than the original.
Good luck and keep up the great work 🙂
WAY TO GO BORIS!!!
really, really nice – huge.
hate the berret. you dont need to imitate the dress of others.
your talent is original, stay original. a yarmulke is more impressive.
otherwisee: awesome, awesome, awesome.
much better then the original!
he clearly has a lot of talent…. composing, acting etc..
but his voice is obviously not the best… already making several songs with only electronic effect… auto-tune etc… not pure singing..
I Actually like this version better, maybe a duet with Matis???
this guy is really talented!! amazing
what a great video! good concept, great visual and awesome production!!!!
keep it up!
but hang on to your day job. i’m not sure what part of that was good- vocally speaking.
the next Bob Marley!!! awesome man i love your music 🙂
GO BOB!!!
ps we going for our walk and smoke later?
AWESOME
what is with the hand gestures, they take away from the video
wow!!!! you were intertaining
The kid is fantastic! and so humble.
Amazing talent – just make sure to keep it Chassidic in the tradition of the great Reb Avrohom Hakohen!!!!!!!!
nothing beats matisyahu, plain and simple.
great voice!!!!
amazing talent!! your crayze but who can’t love it!
this guy is great
i LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS SO SO COOL!!!!!!!
GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!
a new fan!!
Congrats Boruch Sholom! We always love your voice 🙂
1) He doesn’t deserve hands
2) Can someone make a music video out of the 8 streets in Crown Heights please?
As AvrehamFried would say (with a little of myown composition) : what on earth is with the wierd hand motions
So enjoyable to listen to!
awesome!
his voice got seriously good.
Keep going, your going to change the world as we know it! Keep up the awesome work.
WOW!!
im so proud to be his cousin, the talent in this video is just amazing
and this time around we see what an amazing voice BS has
