I am the honest vocal coach! I have been teaching for 15 years and been singing since I was 16. I teach from my own studio and also teach and mentor via email, and online via Live & Skype. I specialise in teaching children, and teenagers pop and musical theatre but I am trained in all genres of music. I have studied every voice technique there is, including Speech Level Singing, Estill, Bel Canto, Robert Lunte, London College of Music, ABRSM, Ria Keen, Kim Chandler, Stevie Van Lange and many more. I have been around!
In 2008 I wrote the Vocaltutor Guide, 21 set lessons for singing teachers to get started, learning to teach, and produced 3 vocal exercise CD/Downloads.

Is no one gonna talk about *"Who choreographed this? They're rolling down the stairs"* That part had me rolling 😭😭😭
The problem is that, I bet, everybody around Madonna is always saying "Amazing, Wonderful, Great Idea" and she totally belueves it ... but ... it isn't.
Yup. She believes her awful song "Bitch I'm Madonna" is great. She says her teenage kids told her it was "dope".
Definitely has a lot of "Yes" sayers around her.
@@MVUK358 "Bitch I'm Madonna" is great! Stop bitching!
@@JAMESFERNANDEZ its awful lmao
@@MVUK358 just because you don't like it doesn't make it awful wtf?? her kids probably did like it and so do literally
millions of other people. what a shitty take lmfao. every Madonna era is vastly different to one another and i guarantee you that even her biggest fans might not care so much for one of her albums
@@dantedash you're one of the "yes" sayers
It's like a google translate robotic voice trying to sing 😬
You are total class! I just love your channel. Brilliant. You do say 'honest!'
I'll never understand how everyone has a parade bashing Mariah Carey and Madonna gets a pass for performances like this.
They don't respect Mariah the way they respect Madonna. They are heavily influenced by how TV has molded Mariah's figure -- a diva. Mariah is literally one of the least respected artists of all time.
I don't think people expect much from Madonna as they do from Mariah.
Neal she didn’t get a pass, I see everyone bashing her. But, Madonna has never been known to be a vocalist as opposed to Mariah who was one of the best out there.
Neal what pass, literally everyone is trashing this performance. As off Mariah we expect better from her because she’s meant to be a great singer but falls flat too.
Gets a pass? Lol
6:34 Your cat sounds more on key than Madonna.
I swear at times when I click your photo it changes from Mariah to Beyonce.
Well.... it’s too bad for Madonna but all you said is true. She needs to focus more on her voice.
@jaime herrera why ....shes doing great ...world needs her
@@@AlexanderNovak0 When folkes don't get a clue and retire it just pisses people off.
@jaime herrera She will retire the day she has nothing more to say. She has plenty more to say.
Kitteh: maow maow maow...
Translation: Will you turn that bloody racket off...
She said "wake up" at the end because she sent us all to sleep with this performance...
✌️💯🤯🥱🤯💯✌️
she sad ‘wake up’ = im a fraud lol😅 40y pretending to sing ,, its all fake in hollywood
When you hear this being played as elevator music you will be taking the stairs every time xd
Did she just sing the same 2 sentences throughout the whole song????
Yes 😂😭
Even the monologue she did brought me to laughter. The wind xD
Yes. And they are the most basic lyrics, as well. "Not everyone's gonna make it to the future. Not everybody here is gonna last"
Yeah, no shit, Madonna. We are all going to die at some point. At not everyone is going to be super successful or happy.
Thank you for pointing out the obvious and repeating it 100 times during your song... LOL
@@MVUK358 could have not explained it better 😂😂😂, the song is such a joke. When I heard it on the night, I was like "is this just two sentences and a nonsensical speech at the start?"
@@@MVUK358 Why is she collaborating with idiots with even less talent than her?
You are the gogglebox of music! Great channel
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They sound like they were in a huge aquarium under water! If that's the future then count me out 😁
I agree with you.
Even Kitty was traumatized by that. "Please mum, no more"
Spot on review, your comments, disappointment and bewildered reaction, I think, reflect that of most viewers and Madonna fans after Saturday's performance. She was so breathtakingly brilliant at times during her career that watching this is truly sad. It's like she has lost touch with what she, the industry is all about. The whole performance was dark, gloomy, uninspiring, depressing, that Quavo bloke came on looking bored and lost, nothing worked, and that's before we get onto the vocals. Very, very sad. Do you think the people around her are too afraid to give honest feedback? I have no musical experience or experience of the industry, but simply as an observer with a brain, had I seen this performance before it went out I would have seriously urged her to go back to the drawing board and make major changes.
totally agree. Is nobody around her giving her the right advice,?? .... Or was she pushed into doing something that she wasn't up to physically. I really think you have to wonder what is going on, because she is trying to do now what she was able to do even 5 years ago (just) but she is just not physically able now. Even five years ago she could still dance, but she can't even dance now, because I think her feet or her knees are so badly damaged from years of extreme load from dancing mostly in heels!!! And I question the eye patch. do we really think that is a prop? I would think a massive massive distraction for someone not at the top of their game. Especially walking down like 50 steps!!! what is that ? Im not convinced that's a prop . It distracts me!!!!!
I really thought we'd get Medellin, to me the obvious choice for Eurovision. I couldn't understand why she decided to do this performance, but when I heard that song I thought it made sense - latin inspired - Eurovision - but ...gosh....no words - nothing made sense
When. Was. She. Brilliant? Lmao I like Madonna (even after this lol). But let's not pretend her entire career hasnt been an amalgamation of good studio engineering and racy stylists.
I think she knows. In S&S Tour she sing of key in all the time. And in her DVD of this tour, the producers insert só many corrections. Borderline souds Very weird in DVD couse this. But... Is Madonna. I AM a big fan, and I see she try make this better that she can.
I was working at a tv station in Indianapolis during Super Bowl '12. A lot of the tv female anchors and entertainment hosts (most of these folks had 10-20 years of on-camera experience) talked about the same thing, how disappointing her performance and camera work was during that performance. We were all surprised, we expected better.
If even the Cats starts to react....its realy bad.
ha ha
This was an example of a total loss of creativity but you, Honest Vocal Coach, are beautifully honest as usual.
The guy looks so out of place on a Eurovision stage. He didn't even know what it was.
Well they both look off. They copletely drained the energy and fun out of the night
A much better fit would have been Kylie. She would have started a party
Americans just don’t get it. Australians like Kylie do!
i feel like they should send people from the countries participating lol (meaning European countries, Australia, Israel and Azerbaijan)
dont insult my boy quavo
I think that was her goal, it was all very dark and ritualistic, I felt drained even watching it on yt, she's a major witch allegedly so no surprise here
It was playback also.
This will hopefully be the last time EBU invites a random superstar to perform at eurovision - Madonna had absolutely nothing to do on that stage and the contest can easily carry itself..
This is horrendous! What the hell Madonna?!!
If you knew Mirwais, he does a lot of auto tune.
@@ismara17 Madonna does it and it's still sound bad
Rockablity_Hound 1 hmm 🤔, saw Cher’s smiling like a devil and Jlo too 😂😂😂
@@ismara17 at least he made a good song Like Paradise is not for me, which has a lot of autotune but its really good
She’s become too self-referential, relies too much on what worked in the past, chases what’s current. Basically everything that is the opposite of what she did in the past that made her the biggest star in the world.
It pains me to say that. I’ve been a huge fan since I was four. Just being honest the way I see it.
I agree. It's a little tiring how she keeps bringing back the whole Catholic symbolism thing that she did in the late 80s and early 90s, with the whole "Father, forgive me, I have sinned, I am a bad girl" thing, the monks on stage on her tour, the monks on stage on another event, the monks on stage on Eurovision. Keeps recycling herself and her past performances. And, like you said, she keeps going for 'flavor-of-the-month' producers and rappers, instead of using more refreshing and fresh-sounding collaborators like before.
You are amazing Georgina x
haha ....love your "whats happening here" reaction at 6:08. Big fan of you by the way. Enjoy your brutally honest reactions which comes with a sense of respect other reactions deviate from :) Love from Vietnam
What is she doing on the Eurovision? Getting paid 1.5M $ for this single performance.
She didn't compete, she was a performer guest.
And actually there where some really great performances and songs this year. You should have a look.
It wasn't a performance. It was a warning.
Omg you crack me up
just love your channel very refreshing
Your facial expressions KILL me🤣🤣🤣 and the cat was pressed
First song when she talks is called Dark ballet . Then Future ;)
Horrific performance :(
And i am i HUGE M fan !!!!!!!
Veronica4u2day it was scary! Like a Disney Witch!
Hahaha! I Love Madonna and I LOOVE THIS CHANNEL! This is my reactions!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️😂👏🏻
It’s Eurovision, love! Get up and sing Music or Holiday or Hung Up! It’s a party. It’s not a flipping funeral.
Just found you and love your channel... thanks for your honest, refreshing take on life! XXX
If you will watch Madonnas performence once again today, maybe it will make sense
Ahmen
When the door behind you opens I got the chills 😂
I´m a new fan of your channel! Thanks a lot!
Great analyzes, we didn't have a clue then. Now everyone is in quarantine. The storm isn't in "the air", is inside of us.
Lol, I think your cat sounded better. 😂🤣
"What's going on" lmbo that's what I'm trying to figure out 😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️
you are so cute and honest. i love your videos. you dont insult anyone, you are so polite, honest and funny.
You made my day thanks
Totally agree with you.
By the way, the initial part is a political message against Israel on the Palestine situation. That's pure Madonna, political as always.
This was a big message of Peace, Madonna is one of the most famous Singers, and she just wanted to set a big statement before ending her career. See the Israeli Flag walking hand in hand with Palästinense Flag upstairs. And she is Madame X, bringing this Problem into the Public.
Honestly, Madonna, I am buying long black boots and sing and dance your new awesome song FUTURE. Madonna, 12 #1 hits, over 300 albums sold worldwide, you look beautiful QUEEN MADONNA👸♥️
I'm loving your channel cuz you say the right things. I mean , the truth!
Lol Love your reactions of shock to this rubbish!😅🤣😂
let's hope she just had a bad day. she is human after all. I love the Queen
She can't sing well.
its been more than once now. she is getting paid huge money in front of millions and millions of people ...probably one of the biggest TV audiences she has ever been in front of...thats the problem. Underprepared, underrehearsed...it was shocking...the staging was terrible, her movement was terrible. It was a mess It will kill her record sales, and concert ticket sales. I pre ordered her album on iTunes. wish I hadn't because there has been one ok track from 4. Its not just one bad performance, its al the repercussions
@@annetessari1004 If it was so huge why wasn’t it on American Tv? I follow all of her performances, never listed.
Great channel thank you x
Totally agree with everything you said x
Subscribed loves
Your channel is so great!!! Could you react to the performances of Katy Perry from the America Idol 2019 finals?
I just remember how incredible the half time performance was in 2012. That was utterly amazing. This is abysmal
That show was totally mimed. She had recorded her vocals prior to the live event.
She lip-synced most of it.
She was 54 at that time, now she‘s 64.
She‘s not in her 20s and 30s/40s anymore.
Her voice is not strong anymore.
@@Dog-bb8hrshe lip synced all of it 😂 and yes I agree
When I saw this live on Eurovision I muted the TV until she got off the stage
I really enjoy your comments. It’s really good watching a video of an expert giving their honest opinion.
So my suggestion is to focus commenting on this area and not in others like choreography itself, which I believe in the particular one was amazing given the fact what message M tried to convey. Also the first part is, as you might know, from Overture (The Nutcracker) by Tchaikovsky. It’s really great on focusing the words and also consider what Madonna did that night in Tel Aviv.
Georgina, please explain auto-tune to us in as much detail as possible. Can you always hear it on the finished product? Is Madonnna using auto-tune + vocoder? It seems like the last decade of pop music (at least in America) has featured heavily electronic voices... Is this always auto-tune or some effect they are putting on the voice to make it sound electronic? I thought auto-tune was something used strictly in the studio and wouldn't be evident on the final recording.
Shes workinv with quavo so tatsvthe reasob why
I think someone more technical-minded will do a better job from me on this. The technical precis: A vocoder is a multi-band dynamic EQ filtered effect, but auto-tuned uses different pitch-shift technology which moves the tones to those set by a keyboard. There can be some degree of overlap, as some autotuners can use vocoder-based algorithms, but they're not one and the same.
Essentially, I have regarded autotune as a sliding scale. You can have it dialed down, to try to make it almost imperceptible. Think wearing make-up, but not looking like you're wearing make-up, essentially to sound "naturally perfect" (but with a bit of help). This is extremely common nowadays to smoothen out vocal performances but hopefully retaining a semblance of a natural feel.
This whole robotic/electronic voice thing started with Cher's "Believe" (in the popular public consciousness at least - I'm well aware it started way before that e.g. with Kraftwerk's vocodered "The Robots"). At the time, everyone was calling "Believe" a "vocodered" effect, but I heard music engineers explaining that it's not actually vocoder that's being used but a more extreme setting on autotune, such that it now sounds very identifiable.
@@sweeperboy Wow.. thanks! Am I correct in thinking that the more the autotune has to work to get the singer in tune, the more electronic and perceptible to the ear it is?
@@dtaylor939 I don't pretend to know the exact answer to that, but I would imagine that the harder it has to work, the more it may remove the natural "warmth" of the human voice and leave it sounding more anodyne. Also, there are things that autotune can correct for, and things that it cannot.
That being said, I think some of the choices Madonna and her production teams have made over the last decade and a half in the recording of the studio albums have been quite deliberately to "amp up" the autotune to make it seem more robotic, for want of a better word. This isn't the same as the "trying to seem normal with makeup" scenario that I described in the first post, it's a deliberate choice because, I don't know, perhaps they think it's edgier? (I happen to disagree about that, it was only really edgy for her in her Music album era IMO; after that, it became too commonly-used by others).
In that sense, they are conscious artistic choices rather than a desperation to hide vocal flaws (as was the case in the Eurovision audio re-do on her UA-cam channel), but that doesn't make them correct ones necessarily.
You are honest and I love it. I feel exactly the same. It's not great. It's not even good. It's just a farce. I would not pay for that at all
People are dissing the queen but she was not the only artist that sounded like this this sound is popular the vocoder is a tool that's being use with many raggae artists just because her voice is different doesn't mean it's bad.
Madonna 😍
In spite of Madonna’s poor vocals on the night I have to say that I have a lot of respect for her inclusion of the Palestinian and Israeli flags which stood united whilst walking up the stairs together.
Peace for the Middle East 🙏💛
They separated at the end..the alliance will be 💔 broken.
I like how the words "WAKE UP" appear on the big screen after the song. As if Madonna is saying: "Ok, I know this was boring."
lol
hahahahahaaha
And you're absolutely right on every count!
Thank you for the good laugh session :))
1:08 I love your WTF face and then at 1:40 WTreF. She even managed to upset the poor cat at the end.
I love Madonna since the early 80's..the very beginning I've heard her go from an okay singer technically to a really good singer in the 90's with a vocal peak ability from 1996 after training for Evita through to the Re-invention Tour in 2004...ever since then her vocals have slowly declined as if she gave up treating her voice as an instrument requiring care and maintenance which is exactly what you called out with Like a Prayer & here during Eurovision. It's disappointing for so many of us that love her and want to see her have a real win again.
SHE IS BUSY WITH THE FILLERS
I love your expressions!
Respect 😊 you are the best
The way georgina looks back at us 😂😂
Trying to make light out of it with the odd dance move got me in stitches!😂😂
It was the worst interval act in Eurovision in like forever!
Can't you hear outisde of your supreme hoodie, the wind that's beginning to howl? WOOOOSSHH...
Big fan of Madonna since I was a child- growing up with Ray of Light was an amazing time! But her recent music is not something that I find enjoyable 😭. She used to be so innovative, but I feel like she is trying to fit in with current trends and music. I remember she rarely collaborated with other singers in the 80s and 90s and did her own thing... now it’s like she wants to sing with rappers and sound like everyone else 😓
Your face is a picture! Had me in stitches.
Your reaction is soooo cool. I am a Madonna fan to, but I was after her performance speechless. The Queen has lost her crown. Yes, the cat has right
Your cat is a great critic:-)
I love you 💕 you’re fair and honest ! And boy that was baaaad
This songs has a whole different meaning to it now after corona 👀
The cat was more in tune.
it's a political comment on the palestine/israeli conflict.
You dont say...
einsof no its not ! It is a message of peace through a song ! She brings awareness to the subject through her music ! Wake Up !
Yeah we get that, the performance was awful though...
guys come on it so obvious...she says we know about your crimes....for israel...they paid her millions just to make israel look redicoulous..and also raised a palaistine flag inside israel...there is a strong message that only madonna can deliver...yeah the vocals sucks but this is not the point....if u want to listen too good madonna tunew listen before 2012..now the voice sounds really old and bad but the MESSAGE IS THE POINT....
I don't think so... The symbolism is all Illuminati stuff
Now Georgina, this song is a total grower, I promise!
The truth is haters are gonna hate. Must be tough realizing that a 60 year old singing legend is still adored by everyone, more sexy, more good looking than you behind your computer. Even in your 20's you wouldn't come close to Madonna at 60.
Please make a comparison of the original recording of Madonna Eurovision and video from her channel! There is a completely different singing. (like a prayer)

Oh! Your facial expressions are just divine. I really feel for Madonna. I am one of her biggest fans and I would love to see her live. But this performance was hard to watch.
Love what you do. I do love this song but yes I agree.
Totally agree.
With this one, I get the symbolism behind the performance, but the vocoder is just horrible. HORRIBLE.
What's going on, I hav no idea what's going on hahhahahhahahaha I lov your channel!!!
Well, the meaning of the song is actually pretty simple. Only the people who are willing to learn from the past can come into the future. She speaks directly to the audience and explains how that could work when she's singing "Open your mind," "Open your eyes," "Just free your mind," "We can lighten the darkness, Everyone has a spark."
The performance itself is actually the problem. It is so complicated that even I as a historian can only guess what she wanted to say at the beginning with this dialogue, with the gas masks, the pillars, the pictures, the flags:
Israel/Near East → birthplace of the three big world religions, region is related to so many conflicts of the past as well as of today around the world
Eye Patch → Moshe Dayan, Israel's Minister of Defense during the Six-Day War
the dance of the sugar plum fairy → massive contrast to war/violence
gas masks → death and destruction through chemical weapons, WWI, Holocaust/Gas chambers, Syria
Stairs → top: future; bottom: past
Wind → change
Water → flushes the dancers down the stairs so they can not come into the future
Pictures of priests saying "You are so naive. They think we are unaware of their crime "→ Child sexual abuse by Catholic priests
wildfires / devastating fire along with the pillars and the smoke → destruction of nature, chimneys from crematoria, bombed buildings
destroyed statue of liberty → freedom in danger
the pair holding hands with flags on their backs (Palestine/Israel) → peace
A performance that is incomprehensible to the majority of people limits its own power. So even the best message will be lost in translation.
Oh, and that the music/singing isn't the best, doesn't help either.
I rate these reactions they’re great haha
Can you react more to the vocals and talk us through the problems they have and what the solutions would be, i feel im just watching you pull faces in this one.love your chanel
there wasnt technique involved, the vocals were an overproduced and filtered mess. she didnt understand it because its not what she expected, its better to not overextend the video in that situation
I think the trouble here is where do you start? There was nothing remotely positive to even begin to build a solution or advice from, other than "retire with some dignity intact"
I think the kitty threw some shade😂 I kinda get the song for my first listen. However, that performance was very cringing to my eyes.
I did got get the visual parts at all, let alone the nonsensical lyrics of "Future". Rolling down stairs, gas mask/pigs masks, just what the hell!?.
No one has commented that Madonna uses some music from peter tschaikowsky in the first segment.
Watch this performance and think about COVID-19, think about the timing of this performance and then look at the back of Madonna's album. The masks, the blowing of people over, the meaning of the refrain and lyrics. There were some that wanted Ebola to be a thing and now we have Corona Virus. Also, I wonder if the misconfigured auto tune on Like a Prayer was on purpose either for publicity or for humiliation. I like your videos, you really do seem quite honest. Peace.
I don't know. She clearly hasn't been singing for a while. I know she has put out a new album and it is good but yeah she has kind of lost her spark.
That’s not an excuse for a professional singer. A doctor who kills a patient can’t just say „well I haven’t performed surgeries in a while...“ There is a certain amount of effort and training needed
I laughed at your reactions to the odd big speech she did at the start of this!😂😂, I was like "My thoughts exactly!, just what is this!?", on top of it, even when I saw this live, I thought it was lip synched, as it sounds like a speech played on a loudspeaker from a recording, not someone's natural voice through a microphone. Then the performance itself, too much autotune and it seems like shes struggling to get words out. "True Blue" was one of the first albums I bought, so I was looking forward to this.......
About a min and a half in, I just started laughing, then her reaction, I'm lmao, we'll never see the 'true blue' this as just the worst ever from her.. It's actually sad.. Wow
You are very very good. Ti amo. I love you and your reactions.
Both were singing over a pre recorded base. The original studio song already has this huge amount of voice distortion. There's a problem of sound aesthetics and sound design on this album that appears to be a trap for her on live performances, instead of helping her. Once again, what I really miss from her is her once sweet, fragile, but very honest voice. Thank you Georgina for explaining us about the technical aspects of singing, I have been learning a lot!
she wants to be a teen
There's no point in making a political statement in a performance if the performance itself is awful. Her message and intentions may have been correct, but her sub-par singing and choreography distracted from the real issue she was addressing. I will always give Madonna her props for speaking out on real-life issues in her work, but the performance was sub-par at best...
It’s ok she has had many many and many amazing iconic performances... the new girls should be concerned about given extremely good performances 😜
She 's a witch. Ask someone in Hollywood
It’s ok maybe not her best vocal performance but she has had many amazing live performances in the past .. she is allowed to make mistakes like any human .... Madonna you still an icon, your legacy and impact to pop culture will always be there no matter what people say❤️❤️ #queenofpop
Nobody should have the balls to criticize my Donna she's the queen recognize
Well they have
Nearly fell off my seat when I saw you on the Victoria Derbyshire show on BBC News channel this morning talking about Madonna's car crash Eurovision performance!
Georgina I see you a bit 'sconvolta' (upset in italian) xD and cat too LOL 😀
Lo è :-PP
And they paid 1 million euros for this...
If they're smart they'll ask for a refund or fine her for making a political statement...
Our leaders don't care about money, as long as they can stage their rituals.
@@servencounter9721 Urgh, go f off with your rituals/demons whatever stuff. This is the 21th centuary. We are done with it. Move on and get some education!
you are great! shlaom from tel aviv
I love how towards the final minute of the song she just gives up on commenting haha
