    She's truly a rare talent. Her ability to hear little nuances and to blend different layers and keys of her voice to blend her main voice with her background vocals is just STELLAR. Unbelievable how a woman of small stature can sing like a powerhouse of a opera singer.

      @@Symplastmail If I'm not mistaken, singers do tend to be able to learn just by listening to other people, even if they do learn more technical music theory.
      Not as a matter of "permission," just by listening to music.

    Oh Sam I so agree about missing hearing live voices in concert . I’d love to go to a concert with you . So if I ever come over to America again I’ll let you know 😉☺️
    I used to session sing years ago and missed out on a recording for the title music for the film ‘Spies like us ‘ by Paul McCartney . I was put forward by my friend Kate Robbins who was the second female vocalist out of the three needed . I have a wide vocal range and had mastered my break at b flat but it wasn’t good enough . They wanted a female with the vocal dexterity of Ariana that had a lot of control at the top part of her vocals . I did learn a lot from it and it did make me work a lot more on those vowel sounds and my breathing in the higher range . I was bummed out at the time but I did go on and do other gigs.

    Hi Sam! How do you feel about the idea of adding some visual informative cues that would be shown on the video DURING the performance? Example: When you hit the note F on the piano, there would be an F visible on the screen. Or when something else noteworthy occurs, it'd be named and pointed out with text or a symbol.
    I am asking this because hearing the sound and linking it simultaneously to information could benefit those of us who are still learning. Pros, too! Multisensory learning. :)
    I enjoy your videos as they are already, it is just that the reaction/commentary videos sometimes make a harsh division between the performance and analysis, when it could be more fluid.

    You’re such a good dude. I really like watching your videos. You’re so good at what you do. I always chuckle when I see you identifying the notes people are singing because I do the same thing when I’m listening to a good singer. I am an empathetic listener (like my larynx knows what they’re doing) and Ariana Grande is usually a really comfortable singer to listen to. There are some singers I have a hard time listening to perform because it hurts my throat. Like I said, she’s impressive for frequently singing comfortably. There’s a performance of her doing God is a Woman live on Good Morning America where she has laryngitis. I typically get really sad listening to singers perform when they’re sick because I can hear how much it hurts when they don’t modify their approach. Even in that performance I could hear her singing comfortably (with laryngitis)

    Ari is so amazing!!!! She has come a long fucking way. She is without a doubt the best singer of her time

    You are easily the best of the 'vocal teacher reacts' genre on UA-cam. Love your analyses.

    When Ariana hits those high notes she makes it looks so easy but when you try hitting it your voice cracks-

    Allowing yourself as a singer to not be perfect and not basing your entire worth and value as a person on that is something I struggle with SO MUCH. It's refreshing to hear you talk about this!! Thank u!

    Please check out Rina Sawayama's Tiny Desk concert! She only just came out with her first album last year, and she's fantastic.

    I love that head shake in disbelief. That‘s what I always do when I listen to her too! 😂🥰

    OH MY GOD. That mini-lecture you gave about how you get 'two different voices' to sound compatible with each other should be written in a Vocal Bible somewhere. Amazing advice! THANK YOU.

    Hiii I love your Channel. Please react to Ariana grande the making of the bridge and outro for the song position. She’s in the studio and I would love for you to react to it. Please.
