Contender:
Choni Grunblatt, Married with two children.
Residence:
Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Occupation:
General Manager, Kehot Lubavitch Argentina.
Musical Aspirations:
My goal is to achieve the highest level of perfection and technical training while combining the voice, the “hartz” and the “shtick” that I have inherited from my grandfather, R’ Berel Levin, OBM, also known as Berel Faitel’s. (My audition song is a well known niggun which is sung by the entire Levin family worldwide.)
Reality Check:
Although life sometimes has other plans, I always try to connect mine with music. I feel that the gift I have is enormous. I love sharing it and hearing how much it touches others.
Favorite Singer:
I enjoy the originality in the voice arrangements and performance of Avraham Fried, the powerful voice of Dedi, the hartz of MBD and the authenticity of Yossele Rosenblatt.
Favorite Song:
Within my favorites are “Don’t Hide From Me” and “R’tzay Hashem Elokainu” from Avraham Fried and “V’hachain” from MBD.
A Jewish Star:
Making room for a talent to be expressed is an unmeasured act of kindness. Hope you enjoyed my audition as much as I did. Thanks for the opportunity!
Much hatzlacha to the Chasdei Soul II Soul Organization!

#1voice
Choni Grunblatt,Avrohom Ohayon, BS BLESOFSKY!!!
a pleasure to listen too
espectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!
si gana, que se pueda ver en vivo, please!!!!
Very nice choice of song to demonstrate your vocal abilities blended with you natural ear for music. Well done on the harmonising and the general delivery of this niggun. Best of luck!
the only singer who sings with the music.! stunning voice, stunning performance, everything stunning
brilliant…. i havent bothered to comment on any one elses… his voice is mature, on pitch, he doesnt NEED voice traing.. its all there.. he’s got ‘it’
You forgot about Choni Teitelbaum too, he’s also a first cousin to Grunblatt
Go Cousins!
I listened to him 4 times I loved it dearly REAL “hartz”
if only Blesofski would do his whole presentation like he sings in the begining (the nice “hartzig” part)it would be real hard to decide btwn them, so much for young shtick.
Chony thanks and good luck, bon voyage
buenissimo joni me gusto mucho 10 puntos
grunblat got a beautiful voice
I would like to see him and bs blesofsky perform in a duet
blesofsky got the new sound and grunblat got the old one so it would make one WOW performance, CANT WAIT! hope its them for the 3rd Im not really sure.
the apartments look like he’s in russia or some third world country.
amazing voice and control by the way. chazanish but not too chazanish if you know what i mean like.
this singer is amazaing
great voice and style
number one!
Choni is phenom The real deal. Bu there is a silent star out in Florida – his cousin Choni Cohen. How about a face-off? Levines, Cohens and Grunblatt versus the Friedmans and 8th Day.
Now that would be one he– of a concert.
stunning voice!!!!!
this is by far the best – he does sound like yudi cohen who has an amazing voice what a talented family. Such a hartzigeh voice
best so far,,,sounds a lot like choni cohen too
as well as first cousins with chony titelbaum!
aguante argentina
beautiful video, chanina enjoyed it very very much, just like we did 🙂
here is te winner!!!!
unbelievable
amazing
incredible
super 10 starssssssss
Great rendition…
Looking forward to see Choni on stage at the soul II soul concert… Hope the judges will have “ears that hear’….
Good luck Choni!!
two thumbs up! 🙂
Lo unico que me faltaba hoy era ver esto…!
Muy lindo… y quien te pago el equipo? Que organizacion lo “dono”?
choni was that gigermo on the key board?
very nice.
i have been looking forward for something good, you know they are all ok but this is diferent the guy knows what he is doing. he has got a great voice, hartz, shtik and all the rest. i defently give him 5 stars
Can’t say the same about the entertainer personality
But as far as his voice is concerned, this is the best presentation that I have heard, just so pleasant and terrific harmony, just a pleasure to listen to.
& great niggun!
was a phenominal ba’al menagen and daykan.
This niggun was sung by his father Reb Faitel Levin a”h, who was the ba’al tefilloh in Nevel, and the Rebbe Rashab called him a lamdan as he was boki in shas, poskim, likutei torah and torah ohr
How different Levins have varying twists on this song. R’ Zalman Levin had a slightly different Nusach.
Beautiful
yea they are first cousins their mothers r sisters!
#17 same for me blesovski 4 a concert grunblat for a cd but I’m not so shur he would do bad at a concert either. And he IS Yudis cousin.
#17, yes, yudi cohen is related to choni grunblatt. they are 1st cousins, both from the levine family.
c.g. a fenomenom
Shuky Sadon and him are the best in the contest so far
Great job
i takeh agree with number 12. grunblatt sounds like Yudi Cohen of England now South Africa. are they related?
excelent!! 10 stars
definitely a winner!
He’s got an absolutly stunning voice!
The second one worth commenting on, this guy is really good!
For a CD I’d like C Grunblatt.
For a concert I’d like BS Blesofsky.
Waiting for a third top three.
No one else that was featured was anything exceptional.
Shuki and Gershon are OK!
The best allways! He sung with MBD on stage in front of 1000 people when he was only 8!!! And his voice and “hartz”… #1!
5 stars for him.
I really enjoyed it!
that says it all
along with Shuky and Gershon
wow,
this singer is topppp!!!!!!!!!!!
5 stars
WOW, THAT”S IMPRESSIVE!
how do i see how many views each singer has?
but your missin out MAJOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
because you cant hear the most stunning song being sung to this nigun by girls of BRHS chicago
love it!!!!
he mamash outshines all the others on all levels. i’d love to hear him do V’hachain from MBD.
/real yiddishe voice
