Every coach (musical, athletic, professional, fitness, life, etc.) should be required to watch how Sam Johnson gives constructive feedback. The man is the master of identifying areas that can improve without hurting confidence. He gives solid criticism without tearing people down. Uplifting professional = Sam Johnson
I loved your disclaimer "This isn't the first time I've seen this, I've watched it like 30 times" :-) When you're reviewing performances you like/enjoy, it's so much fun to watch.
Wow, I gotta agree. When he was going really big and heavy (so much so that you think his voice might crack) just to fall into that soft, pretty note. That definitely takes a good bit of control over your voice. I’ll pay more mind to my transitions from “small to big” voices when singing now!
I had not heard of Jeremy Jordan before, his voice is giving me shivers. I'm definately adding him to my playlists. This performance reminds me of one of your own that you have posted.
I'd love to see you do more Broadway performers. I love listening to that sort of thing so much and I'm always blown away by how they can do what they do.
P!nk, during either her live aerial performances or Try live where she's fighting and being thrown. I'd love to understand the singing control between the still and active performers.
@@margicates553 Pink is singing during her aerials, and is singing very well!! Perhaps, you're thinking of Britney who never sings live...and barely sings on her CDs either. Sam's touched upon the fact that some performers can sing and dance, and it doesn't impact their vocal abilities. It's about breath control and keeping the proper pressure on the air stream going through the vocal chords. Broadway singers do it every day. Heck, marching band kids do it too. Moving, almost running, and still being able to play their instruments in tune (well, most of the time). Here is that Try performance at the 2012 AMA's: ua-cam.com/video/eqUFTWi1pVg/v-deo.html Or, Sam, would you be willing to review Pink's Glitter in the Air performance at the 2010 Grammy's? ua-cam.com/video/WH4k6alnE5k/v-deo.html
You’re actually one of my fav technical reactors on UA-cam. Even though your vernacular is clearly on par with a professional, your mannerisms and annunciation make such a great layman context for what you’re trying to convey.
Someone commented below that, "Every coach (musical, athletic, professional, fitness, life, etc.) should be required to watch how Sam Johnson gives constructive feedback." As his student for the past few months, I concur. Sam is a fabulous voice coach, very mature for his age, and understands singing dynamics at a deep level. In studying with him, it's not just my voice that got better, I was also able to open up my emotional range and degree of personal expression
I wish I could afford to have a vocal coaching sessions with him. I really loved how he dissect a certain performance from technicalities to storytelling nuances.
Your analysis is always enjoyable to watch. Just by watching your videos I am becoming more aware of how I sing and attempt to improve. Thank you for sharing your passion with us :)
Have you ever considered reviewing something from Seth McFarlane? Maybe something where he's singing as a cartoon character vs him singing with his regular voice?
As your usual offering, Sam, I learned so much to apply to my own singing. Specifically, when you described the “quiet flip” of his voice from chest to head (hope I got that right) I sat and practiced it myself while watching the video. It was super helpful to “know how it feels” as you are always iterating. Love ❤️ always
First Sam did Queen and now Jeremy Jordan?! Man, when you come back you really come back. Jeremy's voice is one of my favorites. He's such a beautiful talent. (Watch Last Five Years with him and Anna Kendrick...he's fantastic)
Lisa Helling Try his version of She Used To Be Mine if you want something tender or his cover of It's All Coming Back To Me Now for something dramatic.
That’s where I’ve always struggled.......the small sounds are killer. The belter notes are no problem! I got that! The small sounds take intention to stay on pitch and pitch is so important because it’s all they have going for them! Yeah, I totally related when you said that.
Losing My Mind sung by Jeremy Jordan has the same *energy* as stonecold CLASSIC torch songs like Ella Fitzgerald singing Dream a Little Dream of Me, or Dinah Shore (or Sinatra) singing It Had To Be You. It's just so damn jazzy and emotional yet smooth.
I love how you describe things and break things down. I’d love even more description on how a singer is doing what they’re doing when they’re doing it well. Learning a lot from your channel so thank you. Also would love to see you giving voice lessons and working through certain things that are common problems for singers with someone so we can see it.
Love what you do Sam and your videos have helped me so much in developing my voice as a live singer and I've already been singing for over 20 years! Could you please do an analysis on Robert plant from led Zepplin? Would be good to show a new generation just how good he was
4:18 I don't know if it was Jeremy's intention, but when I heard him get heavy at that place, it sounded more like an expression of someone who was literally losing their mind, like going crazy. Intentional or not, I dug it for the song. ;)
Every video I watch gets me singing again. From hearing things you’ve said, I’ve been able to learn more about my voice, and be able to recognize there are just some days my voice doesn’t have it!
I legit had to watch this twice because the first time I was enjoying watching you enjoy the song so much. Not even ashamed LOL I love Jeremy SO MUCH. He's such a great performer.
I just got to know about Jeremy Jordan today( and I'm sorry to be so late) and I started to watch every performance of him I could find and that's how I found this reaction. Thank you for this video and I will be watching every reaction video you make of his performances
I love that you did Jeremy. He's the reason I started watching some theater videos. Also people saying how amazing his voice is got me curious to look at that greatness.
The little things you notice and point out are so interesting, like how the rough transition isn’t wrong, in fact it helps sell the vulnerability of the character. Those are the moments that elevate a performance from good to masterful and it’s nice that you talk about them and why they work.
Thanks for allowing me to discover new artists and helping me understand all the work that's needed to be able to get the sound they want! Very constructive and agreable as always
I love watching your videos even though I know nothing about singing! I agree with a lot of what you say even though I don’t know the technical terms but I hear what you hear, I enjoy watching! Ty
You are so right about Jeremy staying in character. He looked and sounded so vulnerable, thank you for using that word, that you believed he was singing this to someone he loved, but was confused by. Beautiful performance and he is my favorite character on Supergirl.
Love that you are sharing your knowledge on singing techniques. So interesting to then try and pick up on what you talk about here in other performances.
I have never heard of this singer until this video, but he reminds me of a softer, somewhat smoother Michael Buble’. I’m a new subscriber and I love your professionalism, Sam. I’ve commented on your Community how I’d love to hear your analysis on some Gospel music! (Tamela Mann singing Change me or Koryn Hawthorne with Natalie Grant live at the Dove awards singing Speak the Name.) I’m an alto with a strong vibrato that’s trying to figure out how to better control it, especially when singing with others. I so enjoy your videos.
Loved the song, and your analysis. It would be great to have voice lessons from someone like you, Sam. I enjoy singing, but just do it for "fun", and have never had any sort of training.
This is my first time hearing Jeremy Jordan! WOW the performance was absolutely stunning. I am old so I love the 50's style of singing a love song. Thank you Sam for your critique. ♥
Man, so neat to see more Broadway performers on this channel! Would definitely be curious to see you react to Ben Platt's 'Maria', Joshua Henry and Jessie Mueller singing 'If I Loved You', Kelli O'Hara singing 'Almost Real' from Bridges of Madison County, or that crazy Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder performance at the Tony Awards. Keep up the fantastic work, Sam! :)
First of all, 10/10 at your first comment "he's already in character" with that smile and nod. Cracks me up every time. Also please react to more Jeremy Jordan (she used to be mine, for example) and shoshana bean!!! (never loved a man w/amber riley live, make it rain, etc etc etc). Really love these types of reaction videos.
I adore Jeremy - he blew the roof off the venue I saw him at earlier this year. Absolutely beautiful voice and gorgeous soul too, really lovely guy. PLEASE PLEASE react to Shoshana Bean - don’t mind which song, I love them all
Could you please react to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean performance from Oslo in 1992? I think it could be really interesting to analyze because it wasn't supposed to be live. The playback didn't start so Michael had to decide to sing it live last minute. It might be really interesting to compare it to a performance where he knew he'd be singing live and see what the differences are! Thanks so much!
@@MissCaraMint Thanks! While MJ was a master at touring and concerts, he was still human and couldn't be prepared for everything. During the Oslo performance especially, you can tell things were going wrong left and right throughout the entire show, especially with the tech. I've always wondered how that effected him considering how much of a perfectionist he was.
YukinaKudo It would be interesting also to see what effect the crowd had on him(I haven’t watched the performance, but I know Norwegians). Norwegian aren’t terrably responsive as a crowd generally. If things were going wrong that may have stressed him out more.
@@MissCaraMint I did notice that when I was watching. Usually, the crowd is so freaking loud that it's hard to hear Michael even with the mike full working. However during the Oslo performance, the mike was the biggest issue. Even the songs he lip-synced were hard to hear the sound was so bad. Also, they had to adjust the performance to account for it still being light out. They couldn't use the screens for Smooth Criminal and I think the lighting had to be adjusted as well. So ya know, no stress for Michael at all XD
one of my favorite singers • such control throughout phrasing, and completely inhabiting a character • would love to see your analysis of his cover of "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" at 54 Underground and/or especially his mashup of "Home/Over the Rainbow" from Seth Speaks, particularly the beginning mouth stretch/reset (is that just a stretch or warm-up?), the 17sec beautiful legato joining the two songs midway, and the final ~ 17sec BELT. I would have completely exhausted breath support after the first second or two of such an explosive "can't I", haha.
“This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this this is maybe the 30th” ME TOO SAM ME TOO
Saaaame.
Same
It's more like *Voice Teacher falling in love with Jeremy Jordan for 9 minutes straight*
Hahahah fanboying so hard. And deservedly so
Correction- "for nine minutes gay"
I STRAIGHT UP SNORTED LMAO YOURE NOT WRONG
Hysterical
And who isn't in love with Jeremy?
Get yourself someone who looks at you the way Sam looks when watching this video.
Exactly what I was thinking.
To be fair, is that not everyone's reaction to Jeremy Jordan😂
Just what I thought
Every coach (musical, athletic, professional, fitness, life, etc.) should be required to watch how Sam Johnson gives constructive feedback. The man is the master of identifying areas that can improve without hurting confidence. He gives solid criticism without tearing people down. Uplifting professional = Sam Johnson
I just love how he describes things. He makes things make sense and breaks things down for lay people in a great way.
three things:
1) this performance was great
2) your reaction was great
3) your hair looks great
4) his hair looks great
i’m a very simple girl, i see jeremy jordan, i click.
I loved your disclaimer "This isn't the first time I've seen this, I've watched it like 30 times" :-) When you're reviewing performances you like/enjoy, it's so much fun to watch.
Oh yes! Please react to Jeremy Jordan She used to be mine!
Yes please! I know it was for miscast but I was screaming cast him as Jenna already you cowards!!! 😭😂
Wolff Family Vlogs yeeeeeessss
yesssss!!
Or his cover of "It's All Coming Back To Me Now"
it looks like you’re completely in love with jeremy and i can relate
Your username I can't 🤣
LOOK AT DA PRECIOUS LINNAMONROLLLLLLLL
Who isn't in love with Jeremy?
Lost in his Art . A good thing
I need to find someone that looks at me like Sam Johnson looks at Jeremy Jordan.
dribkram someone already does you just don’t see it.
I think that's how everyone looks at Jeremy Jordan when he sings.
Wow, I gotta agree. When he was going really big and heavy (so much so that you think his voice might crack) just to fall into that soft, pretty note.
That definitely takes a good bit of control over your voice. I’ll pay more mind to my transitions from “small to big” voices when singing now!
YES I LOVE JEREMY JORDAN you have to react to his cover of Celine dion’s it’s all coming back to me
YES!
I had not heard of Jeremy Jordan before, his voice is giving me shivers. I'm definately adding him to my playlists. This performance reminds me of one of your own that you have posted.
Check out Broadway, Here I Come. It's beautiful, tragic, and one of my favorites.
@@zanneturtle Thank you. Checking it out now.
His performance of Its All Coming Back is one of the best things you could have ever heard
you should listen to him singing 'ive told you now'! it's absolutely spectacular :)
Seconding All Coming Back to Me, also She Used to be Mine and Don’t Speak, which is a really funny performance
Sam!!! We need to hear more if your voice! I love to hear your small snippets of song!!!
Jeremy Jordan....YES!!!!
Jeremy Jordan is one of my favorite male vocalists. He just so damned talented.
Your a natural anti-depressant
Aaron Morris right!
OMG this is so cute! I agree
I know Sam makes me feel warm
Absolutely
You're*
I'm sorry I had to
I'd love to see you do more Broadway performers. I love listening to that sort of thing so much and I'm always blown away by how they can do what they do.
P!nk, during either her live aerial performances or Try live where she's fighting and being thrown. I'd love to understand the singing control between the still and active performers.
she's not singing during that.
@@margicates553 Pink is singing during her aerials, and is singing very well!! Perhaps, you're thinking of Britney who never sings live...and barely sings on her CDs either.

Here is that Try performance at the 2012 AMA's:

Or, Sam, would you be willing to review Pink's Glitter in the Air performance at the 2010 Grammy's?
ua-cam.com/video/WH4k6alnE5k/v-deo.html
OMG YASSSSS....glitter in the air is my FAVORITE...or TRY!!!!
Yes P!nk P!nk P!nk. I've requested this a few times but I'm not sure if Sam saw it.
Agree with P!nk! But I like her (blow me) one last kiss performance instead :)
The way you look at Jeremy is how all of us look at Jeremy singing 🤣🤣😍😍😍🙌🏻
How have I not seen this performance before... oh my gosh.
You’re actually one of my fav technical reactors on UA-cam. Even though your vernacular is clearly on par with a professional, your mannerisms and annunciation make such a great layman context for what you’re trying to convey.
I just loved watching you enjoy watching Jeremy sing. The joy on your face was so lovely.
i think the roughness in his voice toward the end gives the song more emotion and makes it feel real
it's 11:00pm here in the philippines
i was about to sleep
but then i got this notification

Jeremy Jordan is great. I like how you point out that he’s in character the whole time. It’s not necessarily something I would have caught at first.
Omg I love Jeremy Jordan. He was fantastic in smash
Have you ever considered reviewing something from Seth McFarlane? Maybe something where he's singing as a cartoon character vs him singing with his regular voice?
Yes please😍
That would be awesome!
YES!! I have one of his CDs, his voice is beautiful! He's amazingly talented! Truly, there's nothing that man can't do!!
Good call!
Fly away. He Sounds just like Frank Sinatra.
As your usual offering, Sam, I learned so much to apply to my own singing.

I think the 'rough' parts are a character choice
First Sam did Queen and now Jeremy Jordan?! Man, when you come back you really come back. Jeremy's voice is one of my favorites. He's such a beautiful talent. (Watch Last Five Years with him and Anna Kendrick...he's fantastic)
Ah! this is a lovely song and hes a very pleasing to listen to - ill have to investigate him a bit more!
Lisa Helling Try his version of She Used To Be Mine if you want something tender or his cover of It's All Coming Back To Me Now for something dramatic.
*coughs* search up Santa Fe
Please and thank you
Yes! I love this so much. This is a reaction I didn't know I needed. It's impossible not to love his rendition.
I love your enthusiasm and passion for what you do! Really enjoying your videos.
That’s where I’ve always struggled.......the small sounds are killer. The belter notes are no problem! I got that!
The small sounds take intention to stay on pitch and pitch is so important because it’s all they have going for them!
Yeah, I totally related when you said that.
Jeremy must be my favorite. If I could have anyones voice, I would choose his. Please, analyse more of his performances 🙏🏻
I love this one. Learning to be in character as a performer is so important!
.. yeah He's always into Character, that's why I'm a big Fan after Newsies..and I love the way you describe the style!
Losing My Mind sung by Jeremy Jordan has the same *energy* as stonecold CLASSIC torch songs like Ella Fitzgerald singing Dream a Little Dream of Me, or Dinah Shore (or Sinatra) singing It Had To Be You. It's just so damn jazzy and emotional yet smooth.
Thank you for reacting to him! I love him so much! It’s all coming back to me now is a breathtaking cover from him too! You should check it out.

Learning a lot from your channel so thank you. Also would love to see you giving voice lessons and working through certain things that are common problems for singers with someone so we can see it.
you should react to jeremy jordan singing she used to be mine from waitress. the performance and his voice during the whole thing is so wonderful
I love when you give examples, it's so helpful to actually hear the difference in what your talking about.
Love what you do Sam and your videos have helped me so much in developing my voice as a live singer and I've already been singing for over 20 years! Could you please do an analysis on Robert plant from led Zepplin? Would be good to show a new generation just how good he was
*stops video* “he’s already in character.” So talented.
Yessss Jeremy Jordan! Been watching him for years. I’m so happy he’s getting more recognition for his singing
4:18 I don't know if it was Jeremy's intention, but when I heard him get heavy at that place, it sounded more like an expression of someone who was literally losing their mind, like going crazy. Intentional or not, I dug it for the song. ;)
I didn’t know I needed this until now. Sam reacting to Jeremy Jordan= instant thumbs up.
Every video I watch gets me singing again. From hearing things you’ve said, I’ve been able to learn more about my voice, and be able to recognize there are just some days my voice doesn’t have it!
I love Jeremy Jordan! You should do more of his Performances!
Love you Sam. Appreciated you replaying that one part of the video after you explained what was going on. 👍🏼💗
OMG my two favorite things! Sam and Jeremy
I legit had to watch this twice because the first time I was enjoying watching you enjoy the song so much. Not even ashamed LOL
I love Jeremy SO MUCH. He's such a great performer.
Sam, your hair is perfect! Look at that volume girl yasss! Also the way you look when you listen to him is so adorable!
I just got to know about Jeremy Jordan today( and I'm sorry to be so late) and I started to watch every performance of him I could find and that's how I found this reaction. Thank you for this video and I will be watching every reaction video you make of his performances
I just watched this clip yesterday! I’m a big fan of Jeremy Jordan’s. His voice is so amazing!
I’ve never heard this song or this person sing and I’m so grateful you showed us this performance!!! It’s beautiful. Thanks Sam!
I love that you did Jeremy. He's the reason I started watching some theater videos. Also people saying how amazing his voice is got me curious to look at that greatness.
Yes!!! Thanks for reacting. I’ve been waiting for Jeremy Jordan to appear on your channel.
i lovee jeremy jordan
The little things you notice and point out are so interesting, like how the rough transition isn’t wrong, in fact it helps sell the vulnerability of the character. Those are the moments that elevate a performance from good to masterful and it’s nice that you talk about them and why they work.
Thanks for allowing me to discover new artists and helping me understand all the work that's needed to be able to get the sound they want! Very constructive and agreable as always
Can you analyse Cheering for me Now? And like compare it to Lin singing Dear Theodosia and how his voice has changed
Maggie I YES YES YES PLEEEASE it’s also interesting cause Lin is still more a rapper than singer BUT CHEERING FOR ME NOW IS SOOO PERFECT
Yes!!! That would be wonderful!
Thank you for doing Jeremy Jordan.
I love watching your videos even though I know nothing about singing! I agree with a lot of what you say even though I don’t know the technical terms but I hear what you hear, I enjoy watching! Ty
You are so right about Jeremy staying in character. He looked and sounded so vulnerable, thank you for using that word, that you believed he was singing this to someone he loved, but was confused by. Beautiful performance and he is my favorite character on Supergirl.
Awesome choice!! Jeremy has such a beautiful and dynamic voice. I'm still angry with NBC for canceling SMASH!!
Yay!! Loved this!! Keep doing broadway related stuff!!
Love that you are sharing your knowledge on singing techniques. So interesting to then try and pick up on what you talk about here in other performances.
React to his cover of "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" by Celine Dion
hi sam your videos have taught me so much about technique and what to look for when watching singers perform .
This is one of my favourite performances ever! I'm so happy you made a video about this 😊
Dude! you are too awesome! I bet I can speak for everyone here, We all want to hear you sing what ever you want. We want to hear you my friend.
I have never heard of this singer until this video, but he reminds me of a softer, somewhat smoother Michael Buble’. I’m a new subscriber and I love your professionalism, Sam.

Loved him in Newsies. Never watched him in other performances. I need to catch up! Amazing voice.
Omg I can't believe you reacted to Jeremy Jordan! I love you both so much
I absolutely LOVE Jeremy Jordan! 😊
I learn a lot with every video. Music and singing is such a new world to me.
I love him from Supergirl and he has such a beautiful voice and personality
This is my first time hearing Jeremy Jordan! WOW the performance was absolutely stunning. I am old so I love the 50's style of singing a love song. Thank you Sam for your critique. ♥
He is an actor, he is on the CW show Supergirl, also huge on Broadway.
Man, so neat to see more Broadway performers on this channel! Would definitely be curious to see you react to Ben Platt's 'Maria', Joshua Henry and Jessie Mueller singing 'If I Loved You', Kelli O'Hara singing 'Almost Real' from Bridges of Madison County, or that crazy Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder performance at the Tony Awards.

First of all, 10/10 at your first comment "he's already in character" with that smile and nod. Cracks me up every time. Also please react to more Jeremy Jordan (she used to be mine, for example) and shoshana bean!!! (never loved a man w/amber riley live, make it rain, etc etc etc).
Really love these types of reaction videos.
I’m not a singer but I love these videos. Really interesting to watch.
Waking up listening to this song and watching you reacting to it ♥️ Totally made my day.
I adore Jeremy - he blew the roof off the venue I saw him at earlier this year. Absolutely beautiful voice and gorgeous soul too, really lovely guy. PLEASE PLEASE react to Shoshana Bean - don’t mind which song, I love them all
Thanks Sam, I really needed this.
This is gorgeous. Also searched for “Laura Benanti Explains” after seeing the pop up on your screen lol. Thank you!
His voice makes my spine and head tingle
Love love love when you sing along Sam!!
Sam I would love to hear more of YOU singing!!! Xoxo
Please do more Jeremy Jordan videos. He's so great!
LMAOO THE DISCLAIMER AT THE BEGINNING! TBH SAME LOL

Loved this performance and your review of it! It’s so much fun to learn the dynamics of singing, even if I don’t sing at all lol...
god i love follies so much, my school did a production of this musical and i will never forget how beautiful my friend sang this song
