I saw her on Popstar to Opera Star when I was living in the UK. Claire needs to go the Sarah Brightman style theater diva/ high end cabaret route. She can start a whole new international career that way.
The benchmark of a truly great singer is to smash the Spector-produced River Deep Mountain High. It's such an intricate song to get right, bit like Dancing Queen when many a drunk thinks they can sing it at karaoke....and can't because of the Benny-Bjorn vocal arrangement. Claire......you nailed not just River Deep but them all here. Her voice is very similar to the late great Karen on Rainy Days & Mondays....now that's a compliment! These songs certainly are NOT....better best forgotten! 10/10
I still get shivers remembering her solo from the tour I saw them live. It just filled three O2 in London and it was so spectacular!! Her voice is amazing!!
Thank you so much for reacting to Claire Richards I think she is definitely underated as an artist she has a powerful voice. I loved her performances of Gloria, I surrender, I never knew love like this before, this time I know it’s for real More reactions please from Claire/ steps 😍😍
I’m sorry, but that performance of Hold On was just mind blowingly good. Had me in bits during lockdown. Absolutely incredible and my favourite by a long way.
I know you want to be Claire yourself Georgina 😁 Claire is my favourite of Steps too... she has an amazing voice, for me it’s Claire and Faye that really carry them. It’s a shame Lee doesn’t get more vocals.....
Claire strikes me as a one take wonder, I bet she just went for it and smashed it straight away. Like those people who can take 1 selfie and be done with it. She doesn't get the praise she deserves in my opinion.
Loved her covers love hearing her voice she has been my childhood growing up listening to her voice. She’s amazing and so underrated as a singer in my opinion one of the best voices in pop. You should take a look at her singing no more tears (enough is enough) duetting with Marisha Wallace. Claire also brought out a solo album in 2019 ‘my wildest dreams’ it would be good if you reacted to some of her solo performances from her album 🙂👌🏼
Woo hoo so glad you done this Georgina. Would have liked her cover if Celine Dion's I Surrender to be included though. She is my fave Steps member too.
Claire got a lot of stick for 'splitting up steps' but the other girls were massively jealous because she can sing and so naturally she got more lead vocals. So they ganged up against her and then acted all shocked when she left. And made her an easy scape goat but She makes steps who they are with her voice ❤️
They were jealous because they were fighting for a chance to sing even one lyric, Claire got to sing mostly all of the lyrics even though most of the rest are good singers.
Hi really love watching your channel and hearing what you say about the singers it’s so interesting , could you please when you have time could you include Jayne macdonald singing “Never enough “ she sang it in her tv show recently Thankyou xx❤️🌈👍
I've rarely leave comments on reaction videos and I absolutely love the Honest Vocal Coach, but I am left disappointed nowadays with Georgina's. I feel like she has lost the confidence to be honest and critical, and to really unpick an artist's vocal ability and technique within her reaction videos (possibly for fear of an onslaught from the artist's devoted fans). Her 'honest children' are, after all, here to learn - not to hear how much she 'likes' an artist's voice overall. Something I've noticed about Claire in her vocal development is how, since she was on 'Popstar to Operastar', you can see she often places her hand on her stomach whilst inflating it - an Operatic technique used for increased breath support. Also, the way she undulates within a song, giving it depth and flavour through her superb use of head-voice, vibrato and especially through those difficult belts. I wish Georgina could have delved into this more. I feel like the Honest Vocal Coach needs to go back to basics and really analyse and unpick the voice in her reaction videos - in order to help others learn and develop themselves. But who am I (and who's Hugh!?!) 😁 Xx
She was good back in the day but she has gotten abit screechy and I find her solo music boring. She just keeps going for high notes all the time that aren’t really impressive. She’s better in steps
Claire is one of the best vocalists of our current time.
So incredibly underrated as a vocalist. She's fantastic and sounds better now than she ever did.
Claire is one of the greatest pop vocalists the UK has produced.
I hope now she's back singing she never stops.
Beautiful ladies stay strong stay safe claire dont need vocals she nails it every time legend xx
I saw her on Popstar to Opera Star when I was living in the UK. Claire needs to go the Sarah Brightman style theater diva/ high end cabaret route. She can start a whole new international career that way.
I fell in love with Claire through her Claireoke videos. What a voice!
Thrilled you’ve reviewed Claire - she’s so amazing!

I have never heard of Steps or Claire but I'm definitely a fan now!! She is beyond amazing 🤩
Voice of an Angel✨💖 Always sings from the heart with so much emotion.
Such a beautiful person too☺️
That's true. Some singers don't seem to think what the words mean.
I still get shivers remembering her solo from the tour I saw them live. It just filled three O2 in London and it was so spectacular!! Her voice is amazing!!
I don't need to give praise claire's voice says it all beautiful 💓💓💓
Omg gives me goose bumps omg amazing 😍😍😍😍
Claire has always been my primary singing inspiration since i was very small.
Claire's singing voice is up there with the likes of Whitney Houston , sia etc very talented individual.
That’s why I love steps I love them so much!❤️❤️❤️
it's only this year I've heard Steps sing live as I think their new music is great, all of their voices are so strong I was pleasantly surprised!
She's a beautiful person I had a huge conversation about some things with her and she really helped x
Did those things you talked about involve stuff?
Claire has a very majestic quality to her voice!!!!! Love her and Steps💣💣💣💣💣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍😍😍😁
Love claire she has amazing voice and she is my favourite my favourite member of STEPS
Waiting for a star to fall was fabulous as well xx
Stunning voice
What a voice. Amazing 😍
Lovely lovely and best of all you can hear every word clearly. Very rare thing these days x
❤️❤️❤️ she's an amazing singer ❤️❤️❤️
Such a talented singer
She's one of the best singers the UK has ever had, it's a shame she never had a successful solo career
She brought out a solo album last year ‘my wildest dreams’ which was a great album
Thank you so much for reacting to Claire Richards I think she is definitely underated as an artist she has a powerful voice.
I loved her performances of Gloria, I surrender, I never knew love like this before, this time I know it’s for real
More reactions please from Claire/ steps 😍😍
More more more!!!!! Those high belts are insane
I really loved Claire's solo performances during the whole lock down but my favorite was 'Wing Beneath My Wings' and that's my Mum's favorite song. ❤
I’m sorry, but that performance of Hold On was just mind blowingly good. Had me in bits during lockdown. Absolutely incredible and my favourite by a long way.
Me too..balling my head off..claireoke and fayes lives got me through lockdown.
Claire is so amazing, as a solo artist, with the steps and in that duo that was H & Claire too
That's why I will always love steps.
Clare's video uploads contain some absolute gems! But even better watching them with Georgina's reactions! :)
I love Claire’s voice so much ❤️❤️❤️
Sad that her version of I surrender by Celine Dion wasn’t on this, it’s amazing !
Didn't know she could sing like this 😲
Hope claire releases more albums is a judge becomes big more so in usa as well as here in uk shes a star
Amazing. Such an immediately recognisable voice too.
She’s awesome, very underrated. Yes, she supported Queen Celine at Hyde Park - I’d have given my left eye to be there.
I was there and she was sooooooo good!
Me too..how amazing would that concert have been? Claire and Celine are my two living idols. I loved Whitney too.
I like her version of Gloria, I could watch it over & over.
River Deep.....wicked performance!
I want someone to look at me the way you looked at her performance during this video!!! Xx
Hands down the best voice in pop.
Anyone else living for Georgina’s face expressions? She’s fab! ☺️💜
I know you want to be Claire yourself Georgina 😁 Claire is my favourite of Steps too... she has an amazing voice, for me it’s Claire and Faye that really carry them. It’s a shame Lee doesn’t get more vocals.....
2:12 was my exact reaction too!! CHOPS FOR DAYS
Claire’s version of I surrender for the 2012 tour is amazing. I’m excited to see your reaction to superstar LSL
River Deep was her Steps audition song 🤗
Claire strikes me as a one take wonder, I bet she just went for it and smashed it straight away. Like those people who can take 1 selfie and be done with it. She doesn't get the praise she deserves in my opinion.
Totally agree she’s amazing! So underrated as a singer she should be a world wide superstar

Hold On is sooooo good. Claire is a brilliant singer! Ive got 2 of her outfits she wore for her Claireoke songs🤩
Just found out you been doing these, love them. Come on world this is Claire.... The best voice out there. #clairerichardsvocalchocolate
P s I love Claire Richards voice my favourite from steps xx
Claire's neighbours are very lucky! 😁
Yes that's a great point!
Woo hoo so glad you done this Georgina. Would have liked her cover if Celine Dion's I Surrender to be included though. She is my fave Steps member too.
LOVE Claire , the 'Hanging around' song is called Rainy days and mondays
Claire got a lot of stick for 'splitting up steps' but the other girls were massively jealous because she can sing and so naturally she got more lead vocals. So they ganged up against her and then acted all shocked when she left. And made her an easy scape goat but She makes steps who they are with her voice ❤️
They were jealous because they were fighting for a chance to sing even one lyric, Claire got to sing mostly all of the lyrics even though most of the rest are good singers.
Think it was more that Lisa one, Faye's got a really ok voice, but Claire she's wot you call a singer
Said it all by take that you mean ❤️
Claire's the only reason steps are where thay are
Claire is the best female singer of the last 25 years.
Steps without Claire would be nothin,voice of an angel, you watchin jealous lisa
NGL: Totally love her.
CLAIRE ALL THE WAY...
I love steps. I always have and always will. But I do wonder what Claire might have become as a solo singer.
Hi really love watching your channel and hearing what you say about the singers it’s so interesting , could you please when you have time could you include Jayne macdonald singing “Never enough “ she sang it in her tv show recently Thankyou xx❤️🌈👍
I didn’t know she open for Céline, but I’m wondering why she hasn’t done a duet with Adele!
She sounds an older version of Perrie Edwards
They are both amazing Singers
Do you have a Scottish, or Irish accent?
Neither
There is no way this is Knitting on The Masked Singer. No way! Vocals don't match whether the clues do or not.
She got you lol

Jesus Christ...😮
She was good back in the day but she has gotten abit screechy and I find her solo music boring. She just keeps going for high notes all the time that aren’t really impressive. She’s better in steps
Bit boring, old songs, she is no Gary Barlow , too shouty. Prefer Jane Mcdonald.
I don't feel she ever in the group.
I don't like Claire to many leadvocals.
