I hope this observation on how she sings helps you figure out how the voice works better, so you can learn how to make smart choices in your own voice.

i watch you
Hannah
Purrr
Please react to this song!! 🤩
@@willdalzell7953 Why would they need to react if they've already listened to it- TwT
“She’s really, really, really, really good. And she’s twenty?”
She won Song of the Year, the Audience Award, and Grand Prix at the 2015 La Chicane Éléctrique at 15.
Looking forward to how far this girl can go.
Faouzia is a 20yo Moroccan 🇲🇦 (living in Canada)
She never took any vocal lesson
she writes her songs by herself
she's a multi-instrumentalist (violin, guitare and piano )
she speaks 3 languages fluently (english, arabic and french) and she still following her engineer studies
She did a song (BATTLE) with David guetta on his ICONIC album 7 when she was 17
She made a song with a famous french rapper called Ninho for his album, the song (MONEY) went platinium
She sang ( I FLY) featuring Galantis for the film SCOOB
She also sang with Kelly Clarkson the arab version of (I DARE YOU)
She made a song (MINEFIELDS) with the one and only JOHN LEGEND
She also droped out an EP of all her stripped songs .. it's amazingly wonderful and mind-blowing.
@hugh paul Not in singing... only in her piano and violin.
it doesn't matter
@davey boy she said in her insta live that she's "100% moroccan and she moved to Canada when she was 1" I can send you the link if you want ...
@davey boy she's moroccan-canadian. fair enough😅
What "annoys" me with Faouzia is that I am not a big fan of her official/original songs. I am not sure what it is about their arrangements I don't like they just don't catch me. The stripped down versions of the same songs on the other hand are sooooooooo good and her voice is marvelous.
As Sam says she is going to do great in this industry for years to come.
YES PLS MORE FAOUZIA
How It All Work Out or 100 BandAids
YES PLS HOW IT ALL WORKS OUT AND 100 BANDAIDS FROM THIS EXACT CONCERT IS SO GOOOOODDDD❤️❤️❤️
@@d.t.artistry YES PLSSSS FROM THIS EXACT CONCERT/PERFORMANCES!!!❤️❤️❤️
yaaaasss
If you want to hear more of her "dark" tone, check out "bad dreams" and "born without a heart" stripped. She has another video stripped version of this song. Also her vibrato is influenced from Arabic singing.
I’m fairly certain that her vibrato is influenced by Arabic singing
Yes she's moroccan
Yup. It's a "trill" influenced by Arabic stylings. I'm really surprised he's not picking up on that.
YES
@@anneelliott9838 I assume he's specialized in western voice training and maybe he doesn't often listen to Arab music
@@itdoesntmatter8491 Moroccans arent arab
I wonder to what extent her Middle Eastern background influences the colors of her voice...it sometimes sounds like she uses a “trill” that is common in Arab singers/songs...so unique for a “western” singer!
NORTH AFRICAN *
Yazid Boufous Right, sorry! Didn’t realize she’s Moroccan 😌
There's definitely a Southern European/Asian/Egyptian/Arab/African/*something* factor that I can pick out and i LOVE it!
You should listen to her singing in Arabic (if you didn't yet) she's incredible ..
Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/U9lgWy8X2603/v-deo.html
@@itdoesntmatter8491 oooh thanks
Holy shit, I didnt know she is THAT good live.
She is. You should hear more from her
Yes she amazing!
Def check out her tik tok and other live concert videos soooo good
I am BLOWN away by her and how she isn’t blowing up
@@jenl9569 🤤🦋🦋that’s how she makes me feel
9:55 "just stop running out of breath" -every conductor ever
I like that you call a voice an instrument - makes the art of singing approachable for a band geek like me!
Our voices are instruments indeed ♥
I kind of think her vibrato comes from Arabic music (she's from Morocco). It is stunning how she uses it in Easter pop music. I'm kind of crushing on her voice 😍
Please react to more Faouzia!!! Especially "How it All Works Out" Stripped Version, and "You Don't Even Know Me" Stripped Version
Both are my fav song from her!
FACT: Faouzia is gonna be THE QUEEN of the music industry! 👑❤
You agree? 😉
no cuz beyonce is definitely alive ❤️
@@ElijahsLIVE then I guess Faouzia can be a princess
@@ElijahsLIVE I agree... Beyonce is still alive. But come'on we need to acknowledge what Faouzia has done these last years knowing that she is just 20. For me she is gonna rock the world (my opinion)! 😉
She IS the queen already 👑
@@nessblister1858 Yes, she is! ❤
Omg he finally found her 😂❤️
By the way, Faouzia has never had any Vocal Training yet.
I love that halfway thru he's assuming that she's struggling with her breath, and by the end he realises that its all a choice for her 😂
I freaking love her, her voice is so awesome
First time hearing her. Her voice is a story teller
She's OUTSTANDING !
Check out every single video on her channel. It's worth it.
If you want to hear more of her you should check her out for real.
She's so good
she is my favorite singer at the moment!
Same
Same here.
Reactors have been jumping in the Faouzia train for months but ngl this was the analysis I was waiting on so thank you Sam 🙏
I think every single vocal coach that I watch has reacted to her know, Sam was the last one I was waiting for.
I pretty much exclusively watch Sam these days. He's actually honest in his analysis instead of always positive/pandering observations like many vocal coach reactions are.
React to more faouzia pls! And the beat thing abt her is that shes self trained, she taught herself how to sing and has never had a vocal coach or any help, shes amazing!
I'm a muslim, and everytime I hear someone reciting the Quran or hear the call of prayer from the nearest mosque, they always have this amazing runs and trills. Now as someone who likes music and singing, I always thought why people never try learn them when singing. The closest one I've heard was from when Moses's mother sang her lullaby from the Prince of Egypt, and I thought that was amazing. So imagine my delight when I listened to her song RIP Love and heard those familiar trills and runs. I've been obssessed with her since then
Arab singers in general use this type of singing so you should definetly try to listen to some!
Here are some I like :

You could be confused by the clip in this 3rd one lol, it's Algerian and it tackles a lot of actual issues in Algeria which I don't know if you'd relate to because I don't know where you're from.
But basically, he meets a Spanish woman and wants to marry her go live in Spain with her. Many Algerian youth want to leave Algeria and marry outside of Algeria in hope of a better future since life is tough here. Anyway the woman leaves to her country but he can't since his demand for a visa is refused and he's sad. In the end, his mom finds someone for him, a woman from down the street. He realizes he can't keep fantasizing after what's foreign and he can have a good life in his country... It's indicated by the shift in the tone of the music to a very traditional style that is played at weedings a lot.
Please consider reacting to Elon (at the end of her live concert after the credit).
Her cover blue,
Bad dreams &
My heart's grave
to have an idea about her vocal skills.
Also her stripped EP is just amazing.
We want more of her on your channel.
❤️
i it like when he shows off that he's really good at singing 😩
I love how you have the ability to analyze a singer without making it boring to listen to for one, and also being able to explain things in terms that us non-music majors and teachers can understand what you're talking about. I find learning about how the voice works where singing is concerned and all the things people do or don't do that make singing happen or make it easier and all the other technical aspects of it but I've tried watching the videos of many vocal teachers and coaches and there are only a few who's channels I returned to after a video or two because I found that most are either only trying to show off their own voices or talent, constantly singing over the artist they're supposed to be watching to see if they can hit this note or that note themselves or just to show that they have a nice voice as well and you end up hearing more of them singing themselves more than the artist or any intelligent analysis whatsoever. Either that or they do a good job of analyzing but they do it in a way that, to me, just sounds like they're trying to sound smart, like they want to show off just how intelligent they are about it that they end up making it to where it's just confusing and uninteresting to listen to because they're trying so hard to sound smart that it almost sounds like they're reading the things they say right from a textbook or something. I love how you can break things down to where anyone, especially people like me who know nothing about any of it but find it interesting, can follow easily and understand exactly what you're talking about, and do it without boring us to tears and making it feel like we're sitting thru a lecture on the subject. I also love your positivity, how you can essentially criticize someone or something they're doing rather, without making it seem like you're just looking for and picking out every flaw you might see, you're always very respectful of everyone you react to whether good or bad, when I first discovered your channel I binged watched all your videos and one in particular was reaction to the worst auditions I believe it was and some of those people most would say were pretty off in their singing to say the least but I loved that on each and every one of them, you explained what they were doing technically that was making them sound so bad, why they were probably doing it that way, and what you would have them do to fix it if you were working with them. I loved that. And I loved how you seemed to feel exactly as I do when the judges are overly harsh and basically just flat out mean for no reason other than tv ratings pretty much. One guy in particular that they told in no uncertain terms to never sing again and you were like, no keep singing! I love that you genuinely feel that anyone could be a good singer if they really want to and how encouraging to people you always are! It gives those of us who love to sing but might not sound as great as other people, a little hope that we can do it if we just keep working at it! Sorry for the long novel, I said all that to say basically, just thanks for always being such an interesting and informative person to watch and for always being so kind and encouraging to everyone, you've brightened many a person's day, including mine, so keep it up!! As long as you're willing to post videos, we will be here to watch them!! Much love! ❤️
Yessss! I've been waiting for this! In a time when so much music sounds regurgitated, she is so refreshing to listen to.
I'm so happy you uploaded! Seeing a new video of yours is always a treat :) so thank you!
faouzia is seriously a modern marvel!! the first time i stumbled on a song of hers on spotify when it came on random, i had to TAKE A PAUSE and look into her stuff because i love the darkness of her tone you mentioned! super happy to hear your analysis over her performance! lots of love
U FINALLY FOUND FAOUZIAAAA!!!❤️❤️❤️
Sam I was wondering how your experience of enjoying music has changed since becoming a voice teacher? Like, are you able to “switch off” your teacher mode and listen to songs/performances without noticing details and somewhat analyzing them? Or has it just become part of your experience now?
I'm not a voice teacher and I'm not Sam, but I'd like to share my experience. About 5-6 years ago I started watching videos about vocal technique and stuff like that. I started understanding all the technical differences, how to tell "right" from "wrong", what's a "supported" sound. All those things about runs, riffs, legattos, staccatos, crescendos, diminuendos, mesa di vocce, forte, pianissimo, etc. I learnt about tessituras, vocal fachs, placement, resonance, and all that. Now, what I'm realising is, I can't listen to a singer without thinking about all this stuff. I just can't. I once used to be able to like singers simply for their style and I remember mainly focusing on the lyrical content and the mood/atmosphere of the song. Nowadays, I can't listen to an artist without constantly having all the technical things in mind. I just can't stop judging what they're doing right and what they're doing wrong, how they should be doing this and how they should be doing that. I literally find myself looking at people's mouths while they're singing, to observe their jaw, lips and tongue placement as well as their throats, to see their larynx, or whether there are veins popping. Or I'll be looking to weird things like whether they have a hunched back, whether they raise their shoulders, whether their belly moves while they're breathing etc. I just can't let go and enjoy the performance. I notice every single flaw and I just can't let go off it. I'm thinking about it all so technically, and I'm pretty sure music is not to be listened to in that way. Music is an art, a form of expression first and foremost. It should be about the meaning it conveys, about the emotions, about the mood, the atmosphere, the aesthetic. But I can't seem to enjoy music like that anymore and I can't stand myself for that. So many artists that I used to listen to and love while growing up, I find myself going back to them and judging them negatively, thinking how they're not good singers because they don't do this and that, pitting them against other artists and thinking what they should be doing instead. It's so annoying, really. I lost the sense of music. I don't know if that's how it is for anyone, or if it's just me. But that's just how I am nowadays. I judge whether I like a singer or not on their singing technique, not on their art. And this is not the way it should be. I'm sorry for the long paragraph. I hope I gave some insight.
@@theseeker2586 SAME. But it's quite easier for me as i pick the artists i like based on their vocal tone or timbre & then pick the songs i like based on whether the melody is good and the lyrical content.
Like that Olivia Rodrigo girl with her hit debut single "Drivers License." I personally don't like people who sing with a very closed-mouth style or who sing cursive (not that she sings in a cursive style) BUT the sweet melody of that song + her beautiful, rich, warm vocals on it with the hard-hitting lyrics all "work together" to continually give me goosebumps everytime i listen to that song 🥰
I get that it's hard for you to "let loose" and enjoy music or a simple live performance BUT there's *got to be* a song that just hit you differently upon first listen 😂 Super curious about whether or not you've ever had that experience, but thanks for the beautiful insight ❤
@@alakega for me i turn it off depending on the artist.If i go on a mariah,demi,ariana,kelly clarkson,xtina,fauozia,sohyang etc etc video i expect great vocals and so im gonna pay attention to details but if i'm just wanting to listen to a normal song i lower my expectations a lot and sometimes i'm surprised by some runs,low or high notes,certain details that sometimes "weaker" singers pull off.However,in a live performance i can't just turn it off and listen to autotuned lived vocals or off key the whole time it's unbearable lool
I'm not a voice teacher tho so obvs Sam as a different person and with way more knowledge than me could have a different POV.
@@theseeker2586 too long didn't read
Exceptionally talented young Mezzo-Soprano; not only does she have phenomenal vocal prowess but also an incredible songwriter and splendid musician 🌟
One vocal coach kept saying she's an alto. He said that like 3 times 😏. I don't understand vocal ranges I'm so confused.
@@thecrazyfawn5558 In Choirs, Sopranos usually sing Soprano parts and Mezzo-Sopranos usually sing Alto parts so that makes sense.
Contraltos are a whole other category (the lowest female voice type and they possessed an androgynous quality to their voices).
Here is an informative and enlightening page on voice types vocalview.tumblr.com/fachsystem
@@GarageStudio7 thank u for answering ma'am ❤️.
I thought she was an alto. Isn't she ?!
@@Sougabrielfelix Mezzos can be altos too, yeah
She is absolutely phenomenal. You could never challenge her voice. The best singer ever!
Always interesting to watch your analyses, Sam!
Never heard of her before but literally just got my mind blown from these vocal gymnastics on stage 🤩 I love your videos because I also discover new artists!
I am so glad you reacted to Faouzia! Thank you 🙏 I loved your analysis! If you ever want to react to her more, I’ll watch!!
Her range and her riffs r really ✨AMAZING✨
Look up bad dreams live preferably where she’s playing the piano she’s in her lower a lotttt in That one! Also Sammm I miss your face idk why I’m not getting notifications anymore
Nice I asked for this a while ago finally thanx Sam
This was incredible to watch! Never even heard if her, but she was a joy to listen to. It was also fun to hear your take on her many different styles flowing within the one song, I liked the mix for sure!
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS OMG YESSSSSSSSS
I've been waiting for your take on Faouzia! Please mooooooore!
You are very good at analysing singing styles/technique Sam.
I've been watching your lessons since you started on UA-cam. Thank you for staying true to yourself. I'll always smile/laugh at your thumb nails. 😎❤️
One of My Favourite Artist Fouzia. I was waiting for Sam to react to her voice. Thanks, Sam. I always love your reactions. Very informative and Musically Inclined. God Bless.
She’s sooo good! ❤️ love her. Great reaction!
Finally you reacted to her, she is amazing
She’s awesome! Thank you for introducing this talent.
SAM, THANK YOU!!! I LOVE THIS REACTION!
Thanks for reacting to her. She's really amazing. I hope you do more.
Her stripped versions are easily her best songs, by far. I think her fanbase universally agrees.
Great breakdown - I hope you'll do more Faouzia - all the songs from this same concert are worth reviewing! I'd also check out the Piano version of "Bad Dreams" which is my favorite Faouzia performance right now. Thanks!
SOOO happy you reacted to her!
You should check out “How it all works out”. Her Arabic background really shines in that song
Her moroccan not arabic background
In my opinion Faouzia is (by far) the best vocalist of our generation, I can't get enough of her voice
Please react to her song HOW IT ALL WORKS OUT (stripped)
Dimash
Yes
Tori kelly is imo. But Faouzia is second.
Same
@@Roguenight863 I think tori Kelly is a millennial tho? I thought she was in her later 20s anyways. I prefer faouzia but rly they're both amazing they have very different voices and styles anyways
Her vibrato is arabic idk if that makes sense , but we arabs sing songs that way so her voice is a mix from arabic moroccan singing style and the normal pop voice
Heeey! Another video this week!? Loving this!
I like the radio version too, but I like this one much more because you can really hear those more subtle sounds she makes. Ugh. So good. ❤
What radio version? The original?
@@nessblister1858 yes
OMG! Loved it. Please check more of her performances. 🙏🏻❤️
Damn i didn’t know her before i really like what she does!
You should check her out. You’d be pleased
Same! This is fantastic...and I hear so much when I watch Sam reacts.
I’ll follow youuu just because you reacted to her, you should do moore reactions about faouzia she is AMAZING !
Shes my favorite singer!!! Omg. Please do more from this live concert there is like 7 or 8 songs
You are a good teacher, explained everything so well!
Absolutely loved it
Yay!! Finally a Faouzia reaction
Best singer right now
Dimash is better
No one is better than the other,they're both very talented singers.
Finally!!😊 Love her😍
Thank you for this reaction, it was amazing 😊😮👍🏻
Amazing analysis 👌
Please keep reacting to her. Always react to the stripped version of her songs to hear her vocals better. I’m excited to see you reacting to more of her music!☺️
Finally omg !!! REACT TO MORE OF Faouzia pleaase
YESSSS MORE FAOUZIA PLEASEEE
Hi, Sam! I'm happy you reacted to Faouzia. You should react to her singing You Don't Even Know. It's quite amazing!
The vibrato is characteristic of middle eastern, specifically Arabic, music.
The vibrato is cultural and highly intentional.
OMG MORE FAOUZIA PLEAAASE
This woman is literally a talent❤
Yes... Plss react more on her. Plsss.. Ur reaction are the best❤️😍😍
The vibrato that she has is partially due to her Moroccan heritage, if you listen to her song you don't even know me, you will hear it more in her runs and it adds more of an eastern sound.
i didnt like his comment about her vibrato that it funkiness can show u that she is inefficient in producing sound, that comment is stupid
Her voice is AMAZING 😍😍 So unique
Yes! I looovvveeeee her so much!!!!
OMGG SHE deserves so much more I cant
She is amazing
My favorite singer!! Omg listen to all her stripped versions!!
Faouzia is phenomenal.
That voice, pretty close from perfection to my ears. It's smooth , beautiful lows, clean and powerful highs, can give me goosebumps :) . Interesting to have your feedback on it.
Yesssssss!
Wow she killed it ❤️
I really appreciate what you said about the vibrato. it's the same thing with the weeknd and why it hits different when you're from the same background
PLS DO MORE OF FAOUZIA
Amazing.
Who else doesn’t know who she is or the song but clicked just because of the thumbnail >😬
Edit: Gaaaaah, she’s incredible!
Yess she is ... check out her ytb channel and stream her songs ^^
She out her channel she's outstanding.
i thought faouzia and zhavia are the same person
@@danielavargas2340 who's zhavia ?
@@itdoesntmatter8491
i dont know any of them, just that both are singers and that s all :) sorry
they just have uncommon names for me, and i couldnt remember, so i mixed them up into one person in my mind
PLEASE REACT TO MORE OF FAOUZIA !!!
Goosebumps
We want more faouzia!!!!!
Finally!
wow, she has 6 available sounds to her voice! You're the first person to say this, lol.
😭😭She made me cry
You HAVE to react to Bad Dreams by Faouzia :)
MORE FAOUZIA PLZZ
Please react to
Fouzia-Elon ( the full version after the credit of her live concert) its one of her best ever
and
Faouzia-Bad Dreams
Finally u react to her!!!
Could you please do more of faouzia's reactions thank you 👍❤
Thank you for checking her out! Please check more of her. She writes her song herself. And since it's been a long time, could you make check out Sohyang again? She was so active in 2020. Maybe "Love Poem" or "I will always love you"? 😊 Or since you don't know it, her hardest and all-time-kill one called "Everyone" on Immortal songs? She's insane there, I'd love to hear your point of view.
Faouzia I love her she's amazing 🥺❤️
