I thought she did really well. I like her interpretation. She’s captivating. I was moved by her delivery. Her rendition is one of my favorite among hundreds on UA-cam.
WOW. I’ve seen & heard so many renditions of this song and always secretly favored Sara’s, there was always something where I was like ‘nah… I liked it better the way Sara does that part’ and when she started I was expecting to feel the same…. And then she blew me away. Wow wow wow. Thanks for sharing this.
Most amazing voice I've heard.. so much emotions . One of the best like Barbara Whitney Celine Beyonce . Listening to her voice is like feeling each words... I've got goosebumps 😱👍👍👍😍😍
Thank you for featuring Morissette. I think your reaction and inputs are fair. In an ideal set-up, she's going to be at her best. One thing great about her, she's focused when she performs. I agree that she's a gift to music.
Hey Mark, pls check out the co-equal of Morissete, the Asia's Vocal Supreme Katrina Velarde. Check her out sing a Meddley of all of Whitney Houston song live at Metrowalk Music Hall or her sing a Latin Meddley (Spain, Oye Como Va, All this love and Don't you worry 'bout a thing) live with her late husband on the drums.
There were theater performers who reacted to this performance and never heard a single negative comment instead all praised to morissette maybe be bec theyre not biased and racist.
I understand how u analyse..And I appreciate u for that..Morissette is seeing herself in mirror I think...And she used to smile always for her fans...But I understand ur technical views here...But at the end..Morissette makes u teary eyed..hehehe
This performance is absolutely great and outstanding, technically and emotionally. I feel every note and word Morissette sings. If you compare it to the original singer Morissette is so much more emotionally connected and transporting those emotions. Even Mr. Patrick felt it obviously, but, as with Defying Gravity, he has already decided before he even started listening to Morissette, that her rendition can't be as good. Some people talk about honesty. But honesty has nothing to do with prejudice. My opinion.
I came not knowing what to expect, because I remember in previous comments people kept asking about you reacting to this, and you had reservations, so I never expected to see it here. I gotta say as a super fan of Morissette (My love and respect for her knows no bounds) and super fan of Broadway (started with Annie in 3rd grade lol and once found myself backstage during a 3 month run of "The King and I' at my Citys theater where my daughter played "Princess ying Yaowalak") I walked away from this reaction with thoughtfulness and it didn't get my heart rate up ,or get me defensive lol. I think having a healthy knowledge about all things Morissette and a personal love for Broadway helps me here. Many may not know, but her Managers are heavily linked to Musical theater in the Phillipines. Pop is actually not their Wheelhouse. She's got some grounding there. I'm the type of Broadway fan (if there is a type) that I HAVE to have exceptional vocals AND exceptional embodiment of the character. If the Vocals are lacking I just can't deal, because I didn't pay all that money to see a play. I paid for a musical (so please bring the vocals) you cannot act your way out of subpar vocals for me (again that is just me). Therefore she satisfies me here in full given the circumstances. (I get your contention with the trappings of the circumstances as well ,but everyone did the best they could during that time heck still are, we're still zooming out here ). When we saw this performance "live" (by that I mean when it premiered.) It was one song in a series of Broadway selections, so she'd talk then sing. It is tough from her stand point (and you touched on this). She's centering herself in and out of a range of emotions and characters. In this session she went from Jenna to Kim (Miss Saigon) , to Grisabella (Cats) to Lucy (Jekyll & Hyde) to name a few. I also appreciate you pointing out the limitations of a track vs live accompaniment ! I wish more people understood that, not just here, but just period when people are performing. I'm again long winded ,but I'll wrap this up by saying , this song is just some of the BEST writing for a musical hands down! I remember Sara saying when asked about how this song has taken on a life of it's own. (It's been sung by Men, Little kids, Gospel singers in cafes you name it!) She said her songs are like her babies and she wants all her babies to have long lives. I'm proud my Girl Morissette is part of that link.
Terri, it sounds like you and I had a nearly identical reaction to his analysis. One could argue whether he should have framed his reaction a bit differently to consider that this was a pop singer interpreting a Broadway song in a pop style, but I understand that he functions within the musical theatre world, and I certainly respect and appreciate that. I thought his analysis was thoughtful and fair for the lens he chose to look through. And boy did he have a point about those pop-ups -- so annoying! The worst one had to be when a Lion King factoid popped up *right* at the high point of Someone Like You 🤦🏻♀️😖
Actually i come out a bit defensive on this reaction aswell. Even if im not a theatrical buff, i still say Morissette did great here. I want to respond on reactor comment of “she tried to annunciate more” , well Mori annunciate her words on most if not all her performances. Hehehe amazing is our Mori.💙💙✌️. Hi Terri
I have never seen a guy who seemed to have contradicted himself twice over. First, when he had to explain himself during the Mori-Espanto duet; And now this ...
Good job Marc nice reaction I hope mori will see this reaction it will to her Motivation you are really a theater man I hope someday you and mori will Work together that would be great
WOW, that gave me goosebumps and made me cry. Beautiful. I have heard this song so many times, and love it more every time I hear it. Fingers crossed Waitress eventually comes to Australia so I can see it live.
She made me cry. She shows too much emotions. That's most important, right ? She's not in a stage. Since there is no live audience, she just looked at the camera and not herself. She was like looking at me and I feel the pain. She just put all her emotions into the song.
I truly love Mori and This is one of my favorites ever performances and I don’t think those hating have seen the full reaction. I thought you did right Marc I’m sure should Mori see this she would appreciate your advice. Keep it on
Great version. And totally her own read on it. So many other (all be it great) versions have similar dynamics and phrasings. They try to deliver a performance reminiscent of the recording to meet expectatuons. This just seems uniquely her own.
You can say all those criticism if shes performing on stage. You have given that consideration. Hey why dont you give us a sample of your own version. Do it show us what youve got since youre a perfectionist.
The Onion Queen strikes again. Another tissue moment. ❤️❤️❤️ I'm not too familiar with this song and the background story of this play, but when I heard it the first time from Morissette, it pulled my soul and made me teary-eyed.
This is Morrisette’s interpretation of the song, and I like it. I dont think there is a camera that she’s looking into, or when she looks like she’s looking on the side, it’s like she is thinking or imagining a certain situation and to me thats how she interprets it.
Thank you coach. Your perceptive observations are truly helpful and will improve one our most talented performers. Like Lea Salonga before her, she will mature nicely in due time. I can only imagine her at the end of this decade. Well done sir.
I just wanted to say that watching your videos has helped me so much grow as a performer while singing. Knowing what I have to do in order to sell the performance and also feel like you did the song justice can be hard and so thank you so much for making these videos and giving truly helpful advice
MORISSETTE 🇨🇦present this song is very emotional for Mori is a gift that she can sing this kind of song.another proof that her voice fits in any genre and she has that unbelievable beautiful tone and voice remarkable phenomenon no one sing like her nowadays amazing extremely talented artist extraordinary young girl no bad habits she’s a CHRISTIAN and very humble. and if she become a independent artist,she’s going to take on the music industry like a hurricane and no one can stop her. Mori talent speak for itself.Thank you Marc great reaction just subs 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I feel like she realized quickly that every time she looked at herself it was pulling her out of character and thats when she started closing her eyes or looking off to the side so as to stay grounded in the emotion more.
Thanks for the reaction Marc. The slight gatekeeping is understandable as this was more of a crossover performance and, she said herself, a bit out of her comfort zone (she’s not walking through Seth’s door for an episode of Obsessed anytime soon). Although, if you consider all the songs posted in this Stages set as a whole, the quality of the performances are quite spectacular for someone who only dabbles in showtunes. Full list here for anyone interested: ua-cam.com/play/PLXIsyucEqcmEXwaPcZRCVoQHGZkW08PYX.html ‘Home’, ‘Memory’, ‘Someone Like You’, ‘She Used To Be Mine’, ‘I’d Give My Life For You’, and ‘Defying Gravity’. In the intro for ‘I’d Give My Life For You’ she mentioned that she had recently seen Joanna Ampil (West End star and 10th Anniversary Kim, Miss Saigon) play Jessie in the Manila production of ‘The Waitress’ so I’m sure there was some inspiration drawn from there. She refers to Joanna as ‘big sister’ (they were co-leads in an original Filipino musical together in 2015 (Chuva Choo Choo)). Morissette also has a connection to Lea Salonga as Lea was one of the coaches when she was a contestant on The Voice (Philippines) in 2013.
9:15 I think you misunderstood that. She wasn't looking at herself. There wasn't a monitor there. She's at home. 'Twas a lock down there. Barely any equipment. It's like she was looking away as if she's looking back to something that's kind of bittersweet while telling someone about it. -- Although I know it's a hard and emotional song, there are a few moments where the character was looking back to something that WAS good. She's remembering how her life was when she was younger, before all the shit went down so there were little smiles. Idk the entire story of the waitress, but based on just the lyrics, I think she was doing just fine there. At least that's how I see it. I love this reaction by the way. Very thorough and honest 💯💯💯
I appreciate these honest opinions so much. And I think that Marc is being very decent in his reaction. He knows she's a good singer, but as he stated. This one of his favorite songs. I'm singing this song at the moment and I totally understand where he's coming from. Some parts I totally love and I've listened to her version to take inspiration from it. For me my all time favourite is from Sara
Hi Juf, I‘ve heard and seen a lot of versions to this song. One of the „most best“ performances to me was Sarah (live) and Shoshana Beans. I personally do not compare the performances on a minute level, but more on the feeling the artist evokes in me. It‘s very important, that the artist has his own and very gentle emotion and interpretation into his performance. So it‘s not important to be perfect in any sense, it is important to be authentic to the very moment. I love to wish you to find a interpretation which suits your intimate understanding of the song.
Marc, thank you for your thoughtful reaction to Morissette’s rendition but I listened to the original and I like Morissette’s version better. Given the circumstances, she sang this at the convenience of her own home during the lockdown, via zoom for her fans. This is her own interpretation of the song WITHOUT a theater coach. And you yourself reacted with tears at the end. Somehow the delivery of the song moved you. You said you always tear up when you hear this song… it is NOT the song the made you cry. It was the way it was sung and delivered by the artist that made you tear up!!!! And I am disappointed you did not acknowledge that. Listen to “Could you be Messiah” a song written by Gary Valenciano, rearranged and given to Morissette to sing.
When I saw the thumbnail featuring mori? Ghoddd! I can't stop my finger to not hit that damn subscribe btton😆🥰😍. Anyway, I love your honest reaction into this vids. Please do more react her vids. And we definitely love seeing her again in this channel😘❤.
This was an incredible in-depth review, I love it so much! More of these please! You pointed out something we didnt notice and it all makes sense why she performs way better live where there’s no screen to make her feel conscious about herself.
Now I understand why I somehow felt there is something awkward here, some distraction that happens within her and that's probably because of the mirror. There are moments where she is self-conscious, again probably when she's checking in the mirror.
Have you not heard about a 'sarcastic' smile?,, And thats what she did,, she was smiling a bit not because she was happy but sarcasticcally,, why don't you study more before being a reactor,,
Love this video Marc, love that you are so honest and comfortable with your emotions. Loved the way you let this video play through before doing your commentary over it - it meant you could appreciate the artist/song more clearly first, then appreciate the breakdown. Anyway more of this format please.
Its the cold, empty environment she is in, that perhaps, limits your appeal, I really don't think, she is looking at a monitor other than to make sure focus is staying true . During the quarantine, she began doing many livestreams, merely using her cell as her cam source so , doubt highly, she really cared what she looked like. TA-GAL-OG is her first language or it might even be Bisaya, but when she sings in English, you can't hear an accent, and her annunciation is something she has worked on ,( which I believe in theatre, you want and expect) , as you would see on other songs....be them pop, ballads, gospel, her mouth movement is precise and not lazy ( sure those that read lips, would agree) Lets just say this.....if I saw a marquee on Broadway saying....featuring Morissette, I'd be buying a ticket.
I just love your content. I love the way you mouth the words along with the clips and how you get as emotional as I do. If I had any talent whatsoever, I'd hope for a coach as passionate and intelligent as you! Lol okay, sorry for all the gushing. I'll put my fangirl away.
She actually sung only broadway songs in that livestreams. Look at her Defying Gravity next, warning, it's a bit of a pop-ish style, same with other songs. She may not covey much emotions like you think, but I know she's a gem. ua-cam.com/video/vuxU4ROGxRk/v-deo.html Defying Gravity ua-cam.com/video/YQ8bJv7P3zQ/v-deo.html Memory ua-cam.com/video/bFgP4-YhdyA/v-deo.html Home ua-cam.com/video/xkEi7bJ2brI/v-deo.html Someone Like You ua-cam.com/video/DJbCze67eQc/v-deo.html I'd Give My Life For You Also, I think one reason why she's not into her character is because she sung different songs with different stories
Hello Mark, I like this new format of reacting to the song as a whole first then going to the breakdown and analysis, it kinda made me feel that we are 2 friends listening to the same song at the same time then goes to discuss everything about it. This way makes it feel more casual and organic. Thank you for the great content.
Just on the point about drinking tea and talking about how pretty she sounds... I appreciate you ❤ Honestly, the reason I click on songs I don't know yet is because your analysis is actually analysis - it's no fun watching someone just fawning over a song you don't know by a singer you're not familiar with 😂
Cut her some slack man. She's not a full fledged musical theater stage performer, but if she were she'd kill it every performance because she's that good, that dedicated and that adaptive. I must say though you were fair in your critique. Leo Musician San Francisco Califusa
Morisette is my favorite vocalist i would be pissed about some of your reactions but I understand you’re a theater type of person and you are being honest about morisettes performance and you know what you’re talking about and not just trying to trash her you also had a lot of positive things to say about her but because I don’t understand theater for me I enjoyed it what do I know
I love this song so much and have seen so many versions of it.. She makes her version feel like more like a pop ballad, like serious Whitney and Mariah vibes. It's a beautiful performance. She's performing a beautiful song and doing it very well. She definitely misses some of the emotion though. It's kinda like the difference between Whitney singing I Will Always Love You vs Dolly Parton singing it.
I literally found out this week that Linda Ronstadt recorded I Will Always Love You, as well, in 1975. Her version, to me, feels like a mix of Dolly’s and Whitney’s. She sings it so beautifully.
What a Great way of expressing it in words.Dolly singing I will always love you,feels like a super heart breaking song, while Whitney's feels like wanting to come out of a pit.
Misses some of the emotion? Hmmm…I cried buckets when I heard this rendition by Morissette for the first time. I could not help noticing the reactor teared up as well.
Great video. Performer focusing on themselves isn't something i would have noticed on my own. That's a nuance i haven't heard anyone else point out but it's obviously happening.
Agreed...
Beautiful
I'm here because of morissette
I thought she did really well. I like her interpretation. She’s captivating. I was moved by her delivery. Her rendition is one of my favorite among hundreds on UA-cam.
Hmm not really
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Morí can sing better than most Broadway actors. Period.
I ugly cried. You remained much more composed than I did.
At the end of day. "just Listen". New Zealand peace out.
"This song always gets me. Any song always gets me, who are we kidding?"
Agreed 😂
Morissette just enjoy singing. It's a fact that this is not her main genre. She's not afraid to explore outside her comfort zone.
WOW. I’ve seen & heard so many renditions of this song and always secretly favored Sara’s, there was always something where I was like ‘nah… I liked it better the way Sara does that part’ and when she started I was expecting to feel the same…. And then she blew me away. Wow wow wow. Thanks for sharing this.
Most amazing voice I've heard.. so much emotions . One of the best like Barbara Whitney Celine Beyonce . Listening to her voice is like feeling each words... I've got goosebumps 😱👍👍👍😍😍
Thank you for featuring Morissette. I think your reaction and inputs are fair. In an ideal set-up, she's going to be at her best. One thing great about her, she's focused when she performs. I agree that she's a gift to music.
Hey Mark, pls check out the co-equal of Morissete, the Asia's Vocal Supreme Katrina Velarde. Check her out sing a Meddley of all of Whitney Houston song live at Metrowalk Music Hall or her sing a Latin Meddley (Spain, Oye Como Va, All this love and Don't you worry 'bout a thing) live with her late husband on the drums.
Morissette 🤘🥰
There were theater performers who reacted to this performance and never heard a single negative comment instead all praised to morissette maybe be bec theyre not biased and racist.
I understand how u analyse..And I appreciate u for that..Morissette is seeing herself in mirror I think...And she used to smile always for her fans...But I understand ur technical views here...But at the end..Morissette makes u teary eyed..hehehe
Marc Daniel Patrick you shoudl see her sing Akin Ka Na Lang. It's incredible
Morissette is the greatest singer there is ❤❤❤
This performance is absolutely great and outstanding, technically and emotionally. I feel every note and word Morissette sings. If you compare it to the original singer Morissette is so much more emotionally connected and transporting those emotions. Even Mr. Patrick felt it obviously, but, as with Defying Gravity, he has already decided before he even started listening to Morissette, that her rendition can't be as good. Some people talk about honesty. But honesty has nothing to do with prejudice. My opinion.
Please reacts to morissette's defying gravity on stages session
Beast mode 💪great job @morissette
Morisette has a very powerful voice and I am a fan of her. Each song she covered always comes more beautiful than the original.
Wow, that performance would've brought Lucifer himself to tears. I couldn't hold back either
That's my Queen❤👑
nice to see you reacting to morissette again. subbed
Great Analysis! Thanks Coach! More Morissette video reaction, please.

@@jellyace4679i respect your opinion but honestly i don't think so,.
19:54, I see she made you emotional there!
I have never seen a guy who seemed to have contradicted himself twice over.
First, when he had to explain himself during the Mori-Espanto duet;
And now this ...
Good job Marc nice reaction I hope mori will see this reaction it will to her
Motivation you are really a theater man I hope someday you and mori will
Work together that would be great
Astounding
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you coach I enjoyed your reaction.. God bless ! ❤️❤️
Morissette✨❤️✨
I'm glad you've continued to get to know Morissette's vocals. Hope you keep on listening to her.
Very insightful, transparent and no bias reaction. Thank you for reacting to Morissette, i immediately subscribed.

morissette 💕
WOW, that gave me goosebumps and made me cry. Beautiful. I have heard this song so many times, and love it more every time I hear it. Fingers crossed Waitress eventually comes to Australia so I can see it live.
if she were to perform this in a proper setting, I'm sure we would all be emotional while watching Morissette.
She made me cry. She shows too much emotions. That's most important, right ?
She's not in a stage. Since there is no live audience, she just looked at the camera and not herself. She was like looking at me and I feel the pain. She just put all her emotions into the song.
The good, the bad and the ugly. We wont mind because this is what a real honest reactor does
I truly love Mori and This is one of my favorites ever performances and I don’t think those hating have seen the full reaction. I thought you did right Marc I’m sure should Mori see this she would appreciate your advice. Keep it on
How could you not cry with this kind of performance.
I love your take and honesty in your reaction.
Great version. And totally her own read on it. So many other (all be it great) versions have similar dynamics and phrasings. They try to deliver a performance reminiscent of the recording to meet expectatuons. This just seems uniquely her own.
Definitely, no doubt her vocal prowess is undeniably powerful.
You can say all those criticism if shes performing on stage. You have given that consideration. Hey why dont you give us a sample of your own version. Do it show us what youve got since youre a perfectionist.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️she's our Queen Mori ♥️😊
YOU NEED TO DO A REACTION TO HER DEFYING GRAVITY COVER!! SHE HITS IT ALL THE WAY!! ONE OF HER BEST COVERS

morisette is one of the divas in Philipines she is sooo good
I just wanted to say that watching your videos has helped me so much grow as a performer while singing. Knowing what I have to do in order to sell the performance and also feel like you did the song justice can be hard and so thank you so much for making these videos and giving truly helpful advice
I guess less on technicality and execution theater-wise, I felt Morisette's genuineness and raw on this cover. ❤
Love your reaction, you are the third person counting me, that react so strong when she says Mixed up.
MORISSETTE 🇨🇦present this song is very emotional for Mori is a gift that she can sing this kind of song.another proof that her voice fits in any genre and she has that unbelievable beautiful tone and voice remarkable phenomenon no one sing like her nowadays amazing extremely talented artist extraordinary young girl no bad habits she’s a CHRISTIAN and very humble. and if she become a independent artist,she’s going to take on the music industry like a hurricane and no one can stop her.

You said it :)
True! Marc was right! It really does break the character. It makes sense why she performs better live cause she cant see herself.
Thanks for the reaction Marc. The slight gatekeeping is understandable as this was more of a crossover performance and, she said herself, a bit out of her comfort zone (she’s not walking through Seth’s door for an episode of Obsessed anytime soon). Although, if you consider all the songs posted in this Stages set as a whole, the quality of the performances are quite spectacular for someone who only dabbles in showtunes.

‘Home’, ‘Memory’, ‘Someone Like You’, ‘She Used To Be Mine’, ‘I’d Give My Life For You’, and ‘Defying Gravity’.
In the intro for ‘I’d Give My Life For You’ she mentioned that she had recently seen Joanna Ampil (West End star and 10th Anniversary Kim, Miss Saigon) play Jessie in the Manila production of ‘The Waitress’ so I’m sure there was some inspiration drawn from there. She refers to Joanna as ‘big sister’ (they were co-leads in an original Filipino musical together in 2015 (Chuva Choo Choo)).
Morissette also has a connection to Lea Salonga as Lea was one of the coaches when she was a contestant on The Voice (Philippines) in 2013.
God. We BOTH need a hug after that. 😭
9:15 I think you misunderstood that. She wasn't looking at herself. There wasn't a monitor there. She's at home. 'Twas a lock down there. Barely any equipment.
It's like she was looking away as if she's looking back to something that's kind of bittersweet while telling someone about it.
--
Although I know it's a hard and emotional song, there are a few moments where the character was looking back to something that WAS good. She's remembering how her life was when she was younger, before all the shit went down so there were little smiles.
Idk the entire story of the waitress, but based on just the lyrics, I think she was doing just fine there.
At least that's how I see it.
I love this reaction by the way. Very thorough and honest 💯💯💯
I appreciate these honest opinions so much. And I think that Marc is being very decent in his reaction. He knows she's a good singer, but as he stated. This one of his favorite songs.
I'm singing this song at the moment and I totally understand where he's coming from. Some parts I totally love and I've listened to her version to take inspiration from it. For me my all time favourite is from Sara
Hi Juf, I‘ve heard and seen a lot of versions to this song. One of the „most best“ performances to me was Sarah (live) and Shoshana Beans. I personally do not compare the performances on a minute level, but more on the feeling the artist evokes in me. It‘s very important, that the artist has his own and very gentle emotion and interpretation into his performance. So it‘s not important to be perfect in any sense, it is important to be authentic to the very moment. I love to wish you to find a interpretation which suits your intimate understanding of the song.
Marc, thank you for your thoughtful reaction to Morissette’s rendition but I listened to the original and I like Morissette’s version better. Given the circumstances, she sang this at the convenience of her own home during the lockdown, via zoom for her fans. This is her own interpretation of the song WITHOUT a theater coach. And you yourself reacted with tears at the end. Somehow the delivery of the song moved you. You said you always tear up when you hear this song… it is NOT the song the made you cry. It was the way it was sung and delivered by the artist that made you tear up!!!! And I am disappointed you did not acknowledge that. Listen to “Could you be Messiah” a song written by Gary Valenciano, rearranged and given to Morissette to sing.

This was an incredible in-depth review, I love it so much! More of these please! You pointed out something we didnt notice and it all makes sense why she performs way better live where there’s no screen to make her feel conscious about herself.
Still having goosebumps even though I've seen this video several times.
Such a very good reaction. Thank you for being honest with your reviews. :)
Thank you for reviewing this incredible song. It touches something inside of us. 💔
Now I understand why I somehow felt there is something awkward here, some distraction that happens within her and that's probably because of the mirror. There are moments where she is self-conscious, again probably when she's checking in the mirror.
Have you not heard about a 'sarcastic' smile?,, And thats what she did,, she was smiling a bit not because she was happy but sarcasticcally,, why don't you study more before being a reactor,,
Thx u for the react 🔥💯❤
Love this video Marc, love that you are so honest and comfortable with your emotions. Loved the way you let this video play through before doing your commentary over it - it meant you could appreciate the artist/song more clearly first, then appreciate the breakdown. Anyway more of this format please.
I've been waiting for this reaction for months... Thank you coach for your reaction.... I hope u could react also to her cover of defying gravity...
She such a beautiful singer... so powerful and emotion when she sings.
Its the cold, empty environment she is in, that perhaps, limits your appeal, I really don't think, she is looking at a monitor other than to make sure focus is staying true . During the quarantine, she began doing many livestreams, merely using her cell as her cam source so , doubt highly, she really cared what she looked like. TA-GAL-OG is her first language or it might even be Bisaya, but when she sings in English, you can't hear an accent, and her annunciation is something she has worked on ,( which I believe in theatre, you want and expect) , as you would see on other songs....be them pop, ballads, gospel, her mouth movement is precise and not lazy ( sure those that read lips, would agree) Lets just say this.....if I saw a marquee on Broadway saying....featuring Morissette, I'd be buying a ticket.
See his review of Shoshana Bean whom he praise for her smiling but criticize Morissette for doing the same thing.
Absolutely
@@Loimike31 right?
Thanks Coach. Love your breakdowns, analysis of performances in theatrical perspective. We learn a lot about theater.
Omg i’m learning! 🥰
I just love your content. I love the way you mouth the words along with the clips and how you get as emotional as I do. If I had any talent whatsoever, I'd hope for a coach as passionate and intelligent as you!
Lol okay, sorry for all the gushing. I'll put my fangirl away.
This is the analysis that we've all been waiting for this performance - thank you, Marc!
She actually sung only broadway songs in that livestreams. Look at her Defying Gravity next, warning, it's a bit of a pop-ish style, same with other songs. She may not covey much emotions like you think, but I know she's a gem.

Also, I think one reason why she's not into her character is because she sung different songs with different stories
Hello Mark, I like this new format of reacting to the song as a whole first then going to the breakdown and analysis, it kinda made me feel that we are 2 friends listening to the same song at the same time then goes to discuss everything about it. This way makes it feel more casual and organic. Thank you for the great content.
Just on the point about drinking tea and talking about how pretty she sounds... I appreciate you ❤ Honestly, the reason I click on songs I don't know yet is because your analysis is actually analysis - it's no fun watching someone just fawning over a song you don't know by a singer you're not familiar with 😂
She is bubbly but when performing she becomes the character, she embodies the song 😱😱😱 Morissette 💐💐💐 24/7
Not throwing any negativity here but just pure appreciation. I love her and her voice. ❤️ Thanks for reacting to her!
Please react on her cover of defying gravity
Cut her some slack man. She's not a full fledged musical theater stage performer, but if she were she'd kill it every performance because she's that good, that dedicated and that adaptive. I must say though you were fair in your critique.

Morisette is my favorite vocalist i would be pissed about some of your reactions but I understand you’re a theater type of person and you are being honest about morisettes performance and you know what you’re talking about and not just trying to trash her you also had a lot of positive things to say about her but because I don’t understand theater for me I enjoyed it what do I know
I love this song so much and have seen so many versions of it.. She makes her version feel like more like a pop ballad, like serious Whitney and Mariah vibes. It's a beautiful performance. She's performing a beautiful song and doing it very well. She definitely misses some of the emotion though. It's kinda like the difference between Whitney singing I Will Always Love You vs Dolly Parton singing it.
I literally found out this week that Linda Ronstadt recorded I Will Always Love You, as well, in 1975. Her version, to me, feels like a mix of Dolly’s and Whitney’s. She sings it so beautifully.
Yes!
What a Great way of expressing it in words.Dolly singing I will always love you,feels like a super heart breaking song, while Whitney's feels like wanting to come out of a pit.
Misses some of the emotion? Hmmm…I cried buckets when I heard this rendition by Morissette for the first time. I could not help noticing the reactor teared up as well.
Please react to her version of Defying Gravity
Thorough commentary!
Great video. Performer focusing on themselves isn't something i would have noticed on my own. That's a nuance i haven't heard anyone else point out but it's obviously happening.
No offense meant THIS IS WAY BY FAR THE BEST COVER OF THIS SONG.
try watching jeremy jordan version as well :))))
Don't think so.
U should ask Leah Salonga about her.. hahahaha
She made it her own.
She's incredible. I hope you will react to her live performance of AKIN KA NA LANG in the Wish Bus 107.5. That's good too.
Pls react someone like you by morissette
