she is definitely perfectly capable of doing it in more theatrical way, listen to her in her Broadway days, but she has decided that the breathy tone works more for her, I think that it works beautifully for all her songs, I just think she didn't make it work as well with this song. It's still amazing.
Belting and singing more theatrically works fine for her. I think she just chooses to sing more breathy because that's just what she wants to do. She is famous for her breathy vocals, but she still belts a lot in her poppier songs, which we should know if we listen to her music enough. I appreciate that she wanted to mix the two styles together and do something unique. Also, this song, to me, is a bit too depressing, based on the lyrical content (even for broadway), to be sung in the most dramatic way possible. A more subdued approach feels more appropriate, and I think she realized that which is cool.
This version is definitely much softer than traditional musical theatre. I liked that though: the vulnerability and almost-broken at times quality, like there's a weight pressing down on her, and she's small and quiet just to hold herself together. The contrast to when she does have more chord closure, when she does belt and get louder: I think it makes it more impactful and precious. I do see your point though, and thank you for articulating it so kindly. Great reaction!
I agree!
I completely agree with you.
i completely agree as well. also i listen to a lot of her live performances (especially from swt which was an extremely difficult tour for her emotionally) and i’ve noticed her voice gets EXTREMELY breathy when she trying not to cry. i’m not trying to say i know for sure that it’s why she’s doing it here, but i personally feel like her breathiness in this specific performance is a combination of stylistic choice and her trying not to cry, based on what i’ve observed from her before in her body language and voice in those situations. i hope this makes sense, and i know i’m quite late to the conversation so i apologize, just figured i’d share my thoughts :)
@@void7100 definitely agree! I watched a lot of the sweetener tour vocal compilations and goodnight and go and needy are two of my favorite songs. Both were rough for her emotionally but I happen to love those emotional, raw vocals. Especially goodnight and go Coachella
Eye couldn’t have said it better myself!!!
I agree with you. I wish she had a fuller and clearer sound in this performance. Too breathy for my taste. A beautiful song of course but don't agree with some of her choices. Thanks for this great reaction!
I like that she wanted to do something a little different. Mixing the styles of singing added something new to the song, instead of just doing what has been done and is expected. She made the song her own, and still sounded amazing.
YES! Completely agree. She has moments that I’m screaming “keep it like that!! It sounds great! No! Don’t go breathy! You had it!” Betsy Wolfe is my personal favorite in this role.
React to her vocals at the sweetener world tour pls!
I prefer her stylistic choices because for me, they hit harder in the feels. She made it her own and it felt personal. It felt like she's been through something that absolutely shattered her and now she's vulnerable because of it. It's hard to explain, she touched something in me for sure.
omg i just feel the same way
Fr
Yes!
the thing with ariana is that her idea of emotion and sorrow is more airy vocal based and lighter to bring that emotion. i do agree with that stylistic choice but it’s not for everyone. though when she does use her chest voice, it sounds so rich and full because she grew up in musical theatre. i definitely agree with that she should add more chest voice
i personally felt that her breathy tone added to the emotion. it felt more raw :)
For sure
I feel like her breathy vocals were fine in the beginning. But I agree, she should have been BELTING more after that.
Agreed
I'm still hurting is a cover she's not going to belt on someone elses song if they didnt belt also why the heck would she start randomly belting lmao
@@NoName-hk6ne What even are you talking about? The climax of the song is belted. I like Ariana, but this cover made me feel tired because of all the breath.
It's ok Hannah that, I also agree with you for me it feels like she sung the song with too much breath and also waiting for a big belt. So, it doesn't really feels like you're a hater and I kinda like that you already said a negative comment or should I say a comment that you prefer the singer does. This is just normal since you are a Vocal coach reacting to a singer a, it's ok to say your opinion so don't be afraid to say you're opinion or think that you are already a hater. I really enjoy your videos and keep doing what you love :) .
If she has the breath capacity to sing so breathy IMAGINE how long she could sustain a belt oh my goddd!!! I’d love to hear her sing a more powerful song, she’d blow all of us away!!!😱😱😱
Check out more of her. It's out there. She definitely has the pipes.
I think the airy bits were made to build up for those belts, which she did deliver. So to me she did amazing
I get chills everytime I listen to this performance, especially towards the end after she sings "covered in scars i did nothing to earn" and you can just sense her sadness and pain the last time she sings "I'm still hurting", its definitely personal to her
I think Ariana took this song and made it her own. That’s what makes a great musician.❤️
I love her version of it. I totally agree that it's not exactly fit for a musical theater style, but the first time I listened to her singing it I cried. She conveys the emotion so well through her style that I really connected and felt the lyrics.
this is my favourite piece of hers and being a big fan of Ms Grande, wouldn't change a thing in her performance. It was a zoom production, not broadway play, not exactly a studio engineered song for an album. Oh, don't mind me, I was happy to hear something [new to me] of her music and in the context of being done during the pandemic was thrilled because of the depth of her performance. I'm a word guy, not a music guy, and I finally found where I'm going here, I got the vibe that you wanted "more or better", and IMO under the circumstances of this production, maybe she could have used different technique, for my untrained ear, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
i thought this too the first time i listened, i was expecting more connected vocals and more of a belt from her especially from the bridge onwards, but the more i listen to it i actually love this rendition. i feel like it was definitely a stylistic choice from her to put more of a pop spin on the vocals and i think it actually adds a lot of emotion to have more dynamics in the vocals. but she for sure could sing this in a strictly musical theatre style and it would be really cool to see that as well!
I enjoyed your reaction so much! I guess her point was to bring her style into the song. You should definitely react to Ariana's performance of "The Wizard and I", you're going to love it!!! It was a really hard time back then for her due to her anxiety, but she decided to go and you can tell in her face how happy she was singing there for all those people :)
React to her other musical, I can't say I'm in love and wizard and I
Wizard and I please 🙌🏼
Ari does this thing where she like to mix her pop voice with her musical theater voice. I believe to differentiate herself but I do love how honest you are and you are an amazing analyst and you just gained a new follower!
I think I’m just not the biggest fan of this version because I really love musical theatre style singing and I’m so used to hearing this song with musical theatre vocals (my favorite version is Rachel Zegler’s) but I think that if I wasn’t already familiar with the song, I would have liked it more.
i personally love that she chose a breathy sound for this song, i like the way it gets fuller towards the end (sorry if i’m using the wrong terms, english isn’t my first language). i feel like i get more emotion because of that & i really like her soft vocals, although her chest voice is amazing & more impressive i guess, but i love this. i feel like she used enough chest voice here (in my opinion of course) because it makes it more special than if she were to mostly use chest voice.
that being said, i too wish she would’ve used chest voice at 5:35 but she kinda made up for it lately🤭✨
I loved her rendition of this, it feels so genuine. I do love her singing anything musical theatre right enough
I don't think you need to justify your opinions at all. You were so kind, and genuine, that no one in their right mind would think you're trying to belittle Ariana or her skills. You pointed out a stylistic preference for a song that was clearly made for musical theatre, wheres Ariana gave it a pop twist. That's all. Keep doing what you're doing Hannah! :) All the best
I love that you are so honest and analize every small detail! ❤️
Your critique doesn’t seem mean-spirited or unflattering, just pointing out areas where stylistic choices diverged but didn’t change the quality or substance. However, how much input do you think Jason Robert Brown had in the direction of the performance? As the writer and composer, don’t you imagine he was also the producer of this concert? So as much of a star as Ms. Grande is, she still takes direction, and performs with him at the piano, as well as the other musicians. I imagine it’s a collaborative effort to blend her musical theater background and pop career. Maybe an emphasis was to do the unexpected, especially since it wasn’t the traditional type of venue.
She was acting and singing. You could see, hear and feel her hurting. Great job by the way... You're fun to watch.
Your explanation of the colors of your voice telling the story helped me write good songs when I wrote a musical for my sisters and me to perform. You give amazing advice and tips that I can use to not only improve my own voice but to also help improve my songwriting. Thank you so much! :)
I really loved your last explanation about the "speaking" in musical theatre. I'm more of a pop singer and your words pointed that difference so perfectly out.
Hannah I want you to do a video of you singing. You have such a beautiful voice. ♥️
Other musical theatre songs you can react to like The Wizard and I, Won’t Say I’m in love, and also her Sweetner World Tour vocals
Sweetener is R&B and pop not musical theatre
I'm glad she did this song with a more breathy pop style to make this song appealing to people like me who don't care for the musical theater style this song is usually in. Her lightness brings out the emotion for me and I resonate with it super hard.
I miss her singing musical theater so much!!! I'm old and have a hard time understanding her sometimes in her pop songs. I've listened to her sing Still Hurting over a thousand times I'm sure. This is absolutely beautiful! Lea Salonga sings this, I'd love to hear your reaction on that.
This is my favourite musical. It's so simple, but Jason Robert Brown is a master storyteller, and this is the perfect example of that.
You are wonderful. Great analysis and instruction. Thx.
breathin live on SWT I recommend the one from Birmingham Night 2 or the one from Vienna
I love this! I agree it is not in connection with the style, but I still think it sounds great.
Breathin live on swt tour please :)
I love her version of the song 🤯
Ariana grande - imagine
The whistle notes 💯
Hannah shares so many opinions on this song! Amazing reaction!!
Cynthia Erivo also has a version of this song and it is STUNNING! I highly recommend it for the acting alone, but of course Cynthia's vocals are impeccable as always!
This version is more sorrow then angry and I appreciate that.
You truly look like Disney princess!
I just discovered you and fell in love. Subscribed
You should react to her and Liz gillies on victorious!!
I always wonder if her team has made her sing breathy as part of her “branding” to make her more relevant to the pop scene. I personally would rather hear her sing this fully in in MT style. She is so talented, and sometimes it is almost hidden by the quiet little breathy voice she uses or is asked to use.
I actually cried it really shows how much passion her voice gives it’s a little to light for my taste but I still love it
You should definitely react to her performance of “the wizard and I”
can you react to any anna kendrick musical theater song??
Awesome reaction, I enjoyed it... Liked and Subb. Thank you! Try reacting to a Filipino girl group "THE GREATEST SHOWMAN - NEVER ENOUGH" | 4TH IMPACT Please, Thanks.
Please react to Lea Salonga’s Still Hurting too! 🥺
oh yes, my favorite version!
you need to cover this!
You should check out the group Collabro. They competed on Britain's Got Talent a few years ago and they sang a cover of Stars from Les Miserables that had me SHOOK.
one of the best vocalists ever. wow
Ari and Seth MacFarlane singing Suddenly Seymour is my fave
You should do a reaction to Aaron Tveit’s “Marry me a little”
I so agree with Hannah's evaluation. I wasn't sure how to say it, but the breathy approach sort of took away from the build-up of emotion you can hear in Kinfricks version from the movie or even with Samantha Barks' very poor phone recorded version on you tube. That said love Ariana Granda
i wanted her to be a bit more weighted with her mid belts but i just learned to appreciate this version 😌
i agree with you! i think at the beginning the breathiness also made it harder to understand the lyrics. as someone who has never heard this song before, i couldn’t hear the lyrics well.
Great reaction. I see that your critiques are really just a personal taste issue, so I have no problem there. She still did great.
Please Hannah, make a cover of this song pleaseeee
I just discovered your channel and you make me so happy! 🥺 You're like a complete ray of sunshine and I love it so much! I think you should check out Sohyang's performance of 'I Have Nothing', I'm sure you'll be blown away!
you should listen to her singing suddenly seymour on carpool karaoke
I think it was definitely a stylistic choice for her to keep it really breathy because I think for her it's an artistic choice to make it feel more vulnerable and sad but I do agree that it was definitely the more odd choice for a musical theatre song. I mean, we all know she can do it, she obviously did it for defying gravity. I think that she was trying to keep it more pop and vulnerable, and I'm wondering if Jason Robert Brown directed her to do it that way since he definitely had a hand in composing and going over her vocals, I'm assuming to keep her general audience?
Also, just as a general comment you seem so sweet and your smile is so infectious!!
Please do Barrett Wilbert Weed!!!!
OMG YES her veronica is the best out of the Heathers Musical
I'm an Arianator and I didn't like that cover very much too lol
react to her vocals from sweetener world tour
rly?? i loved it ;-;
I mean I have no clue about professional singing but I have a feeling that they were trying to interpret the song in their own a new perspective. Like she was adding more breather sounds when she was trying to get a more depressing and hurt feeling in the dialogue (like she was trying to hide) and more belty when she felt a lot more confident in voicing her frustration. I mean I know it's not the original tone of the song but maybe they were just somethhing new and adapted it? But that was just my thinking, it's still pretty...Ariana Grande-Style and not the classical Broadway Musical-Style
More Ariana please
React to her sweetener tour vocals
can you react to anna kendrick in ‘Into The Woods’ ? ❤️❤️
Please react to her performance of the wizard and I, it’s amazing
I understand your points, but she wasn't singing straight musical theater. She was blending pop with musical theater, using her own signature styling that she has become famous for, and which people love. I think she has earned that right, and I think the composer obviously loves her take, or he wouldn't have let her sing on it. I personally feel she puts more emotion into the song, she builds the intensity, which straight musical theater can sometimes lack for me.
Lea Salonga's Still Hurting rehearsal
Omg you have the perfect broadway singing voice. Can you do your own covers on broadway plays / Disney movies ?? I vote on a While New world from Aladdin . That would be soo Bomb!!
React to her vocals at the sweetener world tour pls
It's Ari's version... she is a real artist ♡ She makes it her own n.n/
It's so dreamy with her breathy vocals, I actually like it that way.
Just now getting around to this video. I think, had Ariana been on a stage instead of sat in front of a microphone, that this performance would have sounded very different. Since it was a showcase of the song itself and she was sat in front of the mic because of Covid restrictions, she chose to sing the song rather than "perform" it. Most people don't know the difference, but I know you do, so I'll leave it there. Great video, love this version of the song.
Hello I would love if you reacted to Shaylen Harger, literally any of her covers but namely For Forever, Show yourself, The Wizard and I, Defying Gravity, She Used to be mine too BUT SERIOUSLY THIS GIRL DESERVES SO MUCH MORE ATTENTION AND VIRALITY!!! Even if Hannah doesn't react to her, you guys really should. Her sound is AMAZING AND FLOORS ME EVERY TIME
React to her best SWT vocals pleaseee
Could you react to someone from team starkid! (Like jeff blim, Lauren Lopez or jamie)
Would you react to Rachel Zeglers Version of this song? It's one of my favourites!
React to Mariah's performance of "You and I" pls
I love Ariana, always have since I was little, and listened religiously to "put your hearts up" - But I just really hope she doesn't butcher the part of Glinda in the Wicked movie. Glinda needs such a certain tone and I just really hope she can do it
*Random, but ur so pretty 😊🥰*
react to arianas best live vocals 2019
React to Mónica Naranjo "Europa" and Diana Navarro "El perdon"
you should react to lea salonga's version of this song!
Please react to the sweetener world tour vocals by Ariana Grande. I love your reactions
if you love musical theatre could you pretty please react to shoshana bean- she uses to be mine?? it’s so, so good.
I love Ariana, but sometimes I don't understand what she's saying. I don't know why no one is addressing that often she's not pronouncing the words properly like eating the word.
Please watch my video of you love Ariana Grande:ua-cam.com/video/AY99MlK9ncU/v-deo.html
Yeah her diction is off
People have been saying that about her for years. What they don't realize is that, it's a stylistic choice of hers to not pronounce the words fully, and she's not the only person who sings that way. She's capable of annunciating just fine, which you can hear when she's singing broadway very theatrically. But in her pop songs, she sings just differently.
hey i was wondering if u could react to millie o connel singing don’t lose ur head from six the musical!
It's so hard to describe but it feels like she's trying to keep the sound in her mouth. She's like withholding some of her sound to make it softer and breathier but it sounds like she's yawning almost. Like she's trying to swallow the sound. I have no idea if that makes sense.
Have you ever heard Anna Kendrick’s version from the movie? So friggin good
Can you do a reaction video to Donna Taggart's "Jealous of the Angels"
Ariana has a great voice but Lea Salonga owns this song for me. There's a video of her rehearsing it and she's stunning.
Can u react to 11 time Ariana grande hit her hardest notes please p.s love ur bubbly personality ❤️
did you ever react to anna kendricks version?
Please DO CAbel Hyles and/or Casey Lee Williams!
