Sam, we all draw our powers from different sources: Billie Eillish from her nails, you from your 5 o’clock shadow that has every color of hair except the one on your head. It’s just how life is.
Lmfao
Damn, the library is open.
@@SamJohnsonVoice Don't listen to him! I'm the same way and we ain't broken!
@@TheApostateTapir Never forget.
Its a friggin joke
Billie said "You can have a little belt, as a treat"
Perfect comment
Billie’s entire vocal style
in one damn nutshell...!!
〜 *P E R F E C T I O N* 〜 ♥︎
No one:
Sam: How much of her power comes from those fingernails?
Mariana Reis legit cracking up at this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I want some power fingernails.
🤣🤣🤣
its a sort of Sanson effect . if she cuts them , she will lost the power and the fame.
He wasn't being serious, was he?
Sam looked geniunely excited when she did her bigger note and was like heck ya she can do it, I knew could. So pure.
She can do much more. I don't know why people consider that B4 A big note. It's not even supported🤷🏻♂️
@@lennoxbonnie5210 its because it's not what everyone is used to hearing from her.
Alan NO it’s cuz she rarely hits them notes that’s why, but I do agree with you tho, it wasn’t supported
She can go higher and she can do. Better 🤷🏼♀️
Sam’s excited reactions are what I live for! 😊
Omg, I cannot tell you how many times over the past week I’ve typed into UA-cam “Billie Eilish No Time To Die Vocal Coach Reaction” waiting for you to make this video 😭😍
Me too!!! 🤭

When Sam said he wanted Billie to sing loudly and then she did... For you Sam. For You✊✨
I was actually there for that performance, up close in the front pit. We couldn't hear her very well since the speakers pointed towards the main audience but the arrangement was so beautiful live. That big note hit me so hard. After the performance, we could see her get emotional, it was really sweet.
Hopefully you weren't one of those people who were screaming.
@@ivanrowing1124 oh well I'm sorry then
How could you Not scream? Billie eilish is 10 ft away
Jaye Jay wait really?
Did yall notice Finneas smile at her when she finished? He was so proud!!
His neighbors: “Lovely neighborhood we live in. No criminals or anything around here.”
Sam: 18:10
His neighbors: “... call the cops.”
CultureShock ϟ 😂😂
Image trying to sleep & then u suddenly hear someone loudly singing/screaming 'DIEEEE' :'D
This honestly changed my whole watching experience, I'm laughing so hard
Lmao 🤣
I lost my breath I laughed so hard xD
"It's actually a really cool exercise for people to go through of trying to make really good art while being limited in the colors that you're using."
heartsofgoldenrod yes. Love this observation. In visual art constraint is understood and respected as a deliberate artistic choice, and I don’t understand why people are viewing it as a negative with her singing.
Kerryn Simmons I believe its cause it can be construed as lazy singing. Like Sam points out, it isn’t easy to do what she does, BUT it’s more difficult to be more dynamic and sing louder and with more range
@@kayelle8005 Yes but in art it could be seen as the equivalent of a poor artist that can ONLY do one thing, one view of a head, the one pose, the same few colours, can only create abstract art etc. In such a case it is not a choice. There's no choice if it's the only thing you can do. That's a limitation. Any good artist will tell you that you should learn the fundamentals first and THEN you can pick and choose what styles or things you prefer to draw, paint etc. Far too many artists never learn to properly paint or draw, have no real understanding of anatomy, perspective, colour theory, light and shadow etc. and they go straight into abstract art or similar and make out it's a choice or their anatomy is way off and they call it a style. It's only a style if you deliberately make those choices, knowing how to do it correctly first.
@@Jhakaro Yes. Great points. I agree with you. I don't know if Billie is making a choice or not. Just because we've predominantly seen one aspect so far does not mean she isn't making a deliberate choice and does actually know the fundamentals, but it could well be that this is her starting point and her knowledge or skill level is not allowing a variation. Time will tell. I see a similar thing with the athletes that I've coached. Some are naturally talented and can get a fair degree of success, even elite success, without knowing or applying really good foundational generic movement and sport specific technique. That said, they all improve their performance once they do take the time and effort to understand and learn technique.
Is it wrong that I laughed every time Sam said "the D"?
Me in choir for years whenever the conductors would say that
I read this comment during the ad before the video and the video was hilarious because of it
"So.. she starts on the D"
@@SamJohnsonVoice Good to know I'm not the only immature one here.
"it wasn't, like, ultra breathy on the d actually"
i feel like my musical knowledge is strangely growing because of Sam's videos, when i first started watching these i barely understood what he was talking about, but stayed anyway cause they are so entertaining, but right now i can actually see the things that he is pointing out
I'm slowly learning. It's really interesting now - whenever I listen to a song now I'm like an amateur analyst, trying to correlate some of the stuff Sam says to what I'm listening to lol
SAME. Sam Johnson has definitely helped my shower singing and I think my boyfriend's ears thank Sam. As and English major, i never understood intentional grammatical errors in songs when the proper word worked. Then I learned about round vowels from Sam...
My first thought the day this song released was literally, "OMFG SHE DID IT. SHE DID IIIIIIIT!!!"
and my second thought was, "Sam is gonna love this!!"
Funny how when he says "constraints" at 5:56 , he hits the piano. The piano is a constraint on his space and freedom of gesticulation.
Oh, a detail person here.
I adore Billie and Finneas.
The fact she doesn't belt, and has this more introverted voice, is what I love about her so much.
Soft, soothing, mystical, magical, hypnotic... I am under their spell and loving it.
Finneas and Ferb ?
She is my favorite right now
I agree. Also since she doesn't belt often it hits you more when she does.
Some artists that ‘belt’ sometimes sound like they’re trying too hard. Billie is quite interesting and there’s something captivating about how she is so controlled if I’m honest
I completley agree and its something ive been trying to explain when billie comes up in conversations. Its not that what she normally does doesnt take talent. Clearly a whole lot goes into how she sings and its totally unfair to call it whispering or anything that isnt singing. its that shes consciously limiting her voice and i wish she would explore that potential that she clearly has.
I think it's kind of like people who rap. Just because they don't hit a lot of belty notes doesn't mean they don't make good music or have talent.
have ever occurred to you that maybe she doesn't really want to that cause is not her style? XD
@@AleccMortdecai im not saying she has to. I am fully aware that its her style. I like her style im just saying she has talent and her style is valid and does require work to pull off im like sam. I just wish she would test her limits
In the live versions of Bellyache from years ago she does "normal" singing mostly. So it's always been in her back pocket.
I think it gives her so much opportunity to make some huge moments in her songs. She will get there, you can see the potential.
Billie is so very special. I'm 37 and mostly into metal, but Billie hits me in my depression and my borderline 😍😍
Dude, same. I've had a few coworkers look at me really funny when my playlist goes from As Blood Runs Black to Billie. There's something special about her voice and it's presence in her less mainstream stuff.
40 here, and same
Sam listens to all the recorded music at half volume, on the TV, while playing board games so as to not influence his live reactions. He does this alone.
All I could think was, "Sam plays board games!? Wow, more points in the cool column.:
Would love to know which board games he plays.
Sam best vocal coach on UA-cam. Only vocal coach that actually analyzes....vocals
she said in an interview recorded just before this performance that she was really nervous about successfully hitting that high note. glad she nailed it. i think you will see more of "this" from here now that she has some confidence.
nicebluejay She “nailed” it. Ha 😬💅🏽
nomadine85 *ba dum tsss*
@@nomadine85 i don't get it
@nicebluejay huge part of her strength comes from her nails, hence "nailed" it 🤭
sustaining that belt* is the correct terminology
that was not a high note and she sustained it, she didn't just hit it
This analysis is insightful and taught me something about a singer that I appreciate a lot. I had a feeling that it was a conscious choice from Billie to not belt, I didn't know how hard it is to limit yourself while singing. I'm not a singer but I love music since I was a kid. Every little thing that explains how music works is fascinating to me. Love your channel Sam.
I've been trying to keep myself busy watching others react to No Time to Die but this, THIS IS THE VIDEO I WAS WAITING FOR YAY
Maylei Agonoy same!
This video literally took me more than half an hour cause English isn’t my first language and I only learn it in school, so I had to look up like 3 words a sentence😂
But I kept watching it because this is the first video of a vocal coach reacting to Billie in which the vocal coach really seems to be one and definitely knows what he’s talking about.
If I watch videos of Billie singing sth, I usually just listen and enjoy it, but this was really very interesting to see. Thank you for it!
(I hope I could express right what I wanted to say, as I already said, English isn’t my mother tongue ;))
M_e_ E_m_ You are doing fine. You clearly know a lot more English than the average English person knows of your language. This is also a good way to keep up and improve your language skills.
English IS my native language and I still don't know what Sam's talking about half the time lol I'm not fluent in musical terminology. But I admire you for trying to understand and wanting to learn more!
Me Sorry but how ? My native language is French and I always lived in France but I perfectly understood what Sam said, from what I learned about english at school
@@lali7046 it's a joke 🙂 I was being hyperbolic, sarcastic. I wasn't saying that I don't understand the English language or the actual words that he's speaking... I'm saying I am not familiar with musical terminology and techniques so I don't often understand all of the different types of vocal and musical theory etc...he discusses. He's good at explaining things, of course, it's just not my area. I just enjoy listening to Sam talk about music, I don't really have any interest in musical theory beyond that so some of what he says goes a bit over my head - in terms of the subject matter, not the actual language itself.
@@lali7046 I guess you are a special snowflake, one of a kind. So congrats and keep on being awesome
Not bad for a song performed live for the first time with a HANS ZIMMER conducting and having written it in 3 days with her brother in their tour bus..... I swear, they’re just too effing talented.
They even tried writing in a studio and couldn’t make it work. They don’t need fancy ass equipment to win at life and I love it 😂❤️
Katie B Pretty sure in a tv interview she said they wrote it in Finneas’ room in their parents’ house.
Sean Hayes that’s not true lmao they wrote the other songs in finneas’ bedroom but not no time to die
xevamariax Whatever. They said it in an interview so I think I’ll take their word over yours.
Sean Hayes 🙄🙄
Sean Hayes say the name of the interview
Do you ever just squish the acoustic paneling on your wall because I swear 20% of my thoughts when watching Sam videos are about my active need to squish the foam. Is this normal
Yes
@@SamJohnsonVoice Thank god
😂
Sam: How much of your power comes from your fingernails
Me, a violinist: ...
i’m trying haha i play viola and i can totally relateeeeee ahahhhahah

"It's really difficult to sing super quiet and on the Voice."
Billie's "soft but still on the voice" sound is the sound of unrequited love. The tension is in the emotion... like a song that doesn't resolve at the end and leaves you hanging on the 7th
Billie belting and doing a run after
Sam: "cool"
when you did the slide my 9 month old went "ahhhhhhhhhh!" I think Ive got a singer ;)
That's adorable lol
When Billie sings louder she becomes Loudish, Billie Loudish.
Thank you Sam, you invented this.
The theme Finneas was adapting is called "The James Bond Suspense Theme", for real! It's used in almost all of the Bond movies.
I'd also love for her to "belt" a little more going forward when writing new songs. I love her style, I think she has an interesting and lovely voice, but I got so excited when I heard the power coming out the first time I listened to the song. More colour, like you said. Just adds more colour & more "textures".
(I also really love the arrangement of the song, I think they did a class act incorporating traditional Bond into the song without being too in-your-face!)
I've never pressed on a notification so fast in my life, I've been waiting for this omg
She is so young and with so mich potential. Most opera singers I've met started their formal opera singing training at her age.
I don't think she will go for that path, but she could expand her vocal range, add much more tecniches, learn music theory.
I hope she chose to keep studying, because she is really good, but could become just an absolute vocal monster.
Please react to Harry Styles-Falling at the brit awards! One of his best performances and it holds so much emotion 😊love this reaction and I laughed so hard when you mentioned the nails
10:52 to 10:56
y’all remember the THX intro at the beginning of movies?
none of your business lmaooo
none of your business i came across this comment and the exact moment that happened lmfao
at*
AAaaahahahaha
15:44 Sam looks like a proud father
Has Sam cracked the code of how much power are coming from her fingernails? 😂
😂
This was awesome. I love that you spend so much time differentiating between style choice and singing ability.
I'd also love to see you react to Hozier singing the Humours of Whiskey!
Oh yes! I've had that video on a loop since I first discovered it, it'd be wonderful to see Sam react to it :D
TY - really thought your analysis was educational. So much so, I actually didn't know some of the terms you used, what they mean...but that is my lack of knowledge/experience, not a criticism of what you said. Now I have musical (singing) terms I need to familiarize myself with going forward. I am not a singer and have - duh! - a lot to learn about the mechanics of singing. So your review/analysis was a very worthwhile introduction. Enjoyed your video very much. TY again.
She has such a distinctive and beautiful voice. I always feel like the best part of any Bond movie is the theme 😂 awesome video, as usual!
It’s been a really long time since we’d heard a performance from you?!?!? Just sing us a song... We love everybody you react to but we love you the most❤️❤️❤️
dynamic range:
the reason sam woke up my wife and I got snapped at for watching youtube when I'm suposed to be sleeping lol
I was trying not to be one of those commenters but I must admit I am glad you chose this performance. Both performance and analysis made me very happy. The info on slides was extra great.
Would love to see you take a look at Alison Krauss with her super light but never breathy high voice, and old timey fast vibrato and beautiful sound.
Billie Eilish, Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr. Now that's a show!
RemuCSGO and finneas
Don't forget about Finneas please. He helped Billie write and record this song in their tour bus for 3 days. He's also her brother/producer.
@@emamut9936 I know who Finneas is.
Some singers do the high C, some the D, Sam does the DIE
I have been waiting for your reaction. I love it. This is not her best song but she & Finneas have kind of merged the "Billie genre" with the "Bond genre" quite well. Singing with Hans Zimmer and an orchestra must have been quite an experience for her as well. I wish you had mentioned that the slide you talked about went straight into the chorus without a break. Also, the decoration after the belt note was pretty great.
10:52 thank God I lowered my volume seconds before that 😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve never clicked so fast. And then I see it was uploaded 3 minutes ago. Love it!
Me: looking at gnawed down fingernails. "OH! No wonder I sound like a dying goat!" 😁
10:50 I thought Sam was replicating an air raid warning for a second there 😆
She was super nervous and it was her first time performing this song!!!! I love her !
How much of *your* power comes from your fingernails, Sam? Not so much? Maybe it's time to change that
Why do I feel threatened
Carter omg i was literally about to respond “ is that a threat?” You read my mind. (Even though you said it first)
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS SINCE SHE PERFORMED YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSAA
Johnny Marr rocking the guitar
I absolutely love Billie Eilish' style, I'm a bit old now at almost 36 but she reminds me of me as a 'youngster'. I like how you give a professional view on her voice and not a judgemental one. 👍
I completely forget to pay attention to how Billie's singing even when I'm watching your react videos, because her emotions are just so overwhelming!!
Bianca Machado i love listening to her songs because even on the studio recordings you can almost see her face going through the emotions
I’ve been waiting for thissssssssss!!
Greetings from the 🇰🇳 Caribbean 🇰🇳 Sam! I’ve learned so much about music and vocals by watching your vids. Keep the awesome content coming 😍
YYAAAAAASSSS! I have been waiting for you to review this performance!! She actually punched it and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts
Please more videos on Billie Eilish!!! She’s amazing!! Listening to her makes me wish I could sing! 😭❤️
I love how, in every video, Sam is so careful not to bash Billie's singing. I personally don't love the way she sings (but I do think her songs are great) and Sam just sticks to that respectful place of saying "I know you can do more and this is what you could do..." but also "it's ok if you wanna stay there, it's your music". Constructive criticism is so rare on the Internet these days.
Listen to Sam’s comments on American Idol judges laughing at singers who are not the best and obviously were brought up to audition for the judges just for the amusement.
He clearly empathizes with these people who don’t know how to sing yet somehow got encouraged to audition and criticizes the judges for laughing. That is when I grew to admire Sam.
They kept it measured and subtle, simply they kept it "Billie", and she performed it beautifully
React to Harry Styles - Falling at the BRIT Awards
Will Tyers This was very beautiful and emotional. Good for Harry.
OMG YESSSSSSsssss
Why don’t I just watch the video in full, instead of skipping everything he says to get to the bit she sings? I need to figure out my life, but alas, I’m here writing this message
Sam got some serious sun recently, good for you man!
I think she's great, period.
Sam, you remind me of my best friend who passed away and knew a lot about music. He would give me a lot of informal music lessons/conversations. Your analysis give me good memories of my friend. Thank you.
Please react to FKA twigs "Cellophane" on Jools Holland, Sam!
I can't understand a single word in the vocal analysis, yet I watch for hours just to see people talking about how complex and cool is Billie's voice and techniques 😍😂
A very intellectually satisfying video!Favorite parts: “...it takes alot of skill to be able to paint such a cool picture while staying in constraints” & “its a good exercise: trying to make really good art while being limited in the colors that you’re using”
Also I love your reaction to her big A, you seemed so proud to hear her getting louder, which is what you keep wanting from her!!!!!!! Makes me so happy. Yay!
13:02 here we have drunk canadian James giving unsolicited ratings of people at the local pub during the monthly karaoke night
I question his dynamic choice of loud abruptness. Like he's finishing a sentence that he never actually started.
@@jewfroDZak He probably started in his head and just opened his mouth mid-sentence 😂
I love your videos because my teacher halfway across the world uses the same exercises! The slides one was literally the second thing he made us do.
I don't understand why some people think that in order to "sing" you have to reach high notes.
It's not a rule, it's just an idea we have in our heads. If the roles were reversed, we would say "you don't have to shout".
Love your analyses! Love it when you use your own voice and how you belted out the D-I-E like you were trying to kill someone. LOL Sorry, no insult, I loved it, you have a great voice, amazing range! Also love Billie's & Finneas' performance here, they are both so talented. I have to admit that I'm a bit addicted to this song already. It just grabs you & doesn't let you go.
BILLIE BELTED AND ALL YOU SAID WAS “cool”??? You’ve been waiting for this moment for so long!!
Cool
way cool
Cool
@@SamJohnsonVoice I will accept this response. Thank you
I watched an old video of you reacting to billie and noticed you didn't talk enough about the technical stuff, then I see this, and you go in so much detail and it's great. Not doubting your knowledge now or before, but you are definitely a better teacher now. You're awesome
When she belted that A... Sam was grinning and nodding like a proud Dad on the sideline. "Atta girl!" ✊🏼
i love the rambling its like my favorite part of your videos
15:47 That face tells that master Sam is impressed
You are so fair, knowledgeable, yet incredibly kind to these artists in your reactions. Soo so important. Much love!
Please start to include a link to the original video if you would! I always want to listen to the full source afterwards :).
SJ is a serious savant, confidant observations backed up with honesty and intensity. "Power fingernails..." it took ONE SECOND TO REALIZE that our serious teacher was cracking a joke. Love this channel.
I always thought that the reason she sings so softly is because psychologically people will get quiet when they want to be heard the most
Do you have a source about that?
melody pond former middle school teacher chiming in to say you are correct, this works. I could yell if needed, but preferred to go quiet.
"That chord!" at the end of the song is now my notifications ringtone. Thank you Finneas. Thank you Sam. That was enjoyable to watch.
Okay, but I love the run she does just after the belt, though
When I first heard the song I was literally thinking "I would love to see Sam Johnson reacting to that louder part of the song". Thanks for thee cool video!
When you have no idea what he's talking about but are watching anyway
Well we got what we wanted haha, seriously I loved this whole video! And that performance just did it for me, took me to some other place.
Harry Styles - Falling (brits awards)
I have been waiting for thissssssss 💕💕💕
Please please react to Cynthia Erivo's performance at this year's Oscars. Please.
thank you so much for reacting to this! i was so hoping you would as in previous videos you asked her to belt a bit. yay!
RIP headphones users. You are my favorite 😂❤️
One of the other things I like about your videos is that you are quite hilarious at times and often at a most unexpected moment. Keep up the good work. It is always a pleasure to see a Sam analysis pop into my queue!
The craziest thing is, I don't think she EVEN knows she's doing this technical stuff, LOL....she's a natural.
This song is so precious that everytime I hear it I cry
Please react to Harry Styles Falling from The Brit Awards
yes that is exactly why I love this song. She does sing louder and less breathy (you see it more in the recorded version). It is so moody and powerful
