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.)

who composed this yedid nefesh song
Beautiful
gorgeous, this is the first one that brings music to the auditions, not voice editing, “good personality”, and humor. Very decent.
very nice.
I am not an expert, but for me, it is quite enough that I really liked and enjoyed it! Mazal tov!
I loved everything in this beautiful interpretation of this great classic nigun …
Keep on !
With voice training he will be his own star regardless of the outcome of this competition. He simply has it in him.
This guy sounds 10 times better live!
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.
Fellow Jersey Chazan/Freind
Your Talent and eidelkiet can be clearly seen/heard. Chonie is also a beautiful baal tefilah.
Listen and you’ll hear some of the Levin Neginah, S’is bah im in de blooten… Geshmack!
Amazing voice, sure winner!
i gave u 5 stars on the site
but i don’t really like his voice. not so much power.
the last one tho- he’s good. no gimmicks to “make” the voice. thats what we need.
