“I’m pretty sure I’m worthless if I can’t be of service”.
That is such a heartbreaking line.
That line plus her face in the final chorus where she looks at Mirabel talking about the pressure that never stops, it gets me every time ;_;

the 'growing' part was definitely on purpose i think, a character acting choice, jessica darrow is phenomenal, i think this is my fav song in the movie, it might not have been as dynamic and bombastic as we don't talk about bruno, but it holds its own against that song which is impressive bc unlike we don't talk about bruno which needs the whole ensemble to make it as powerful as it is, surface pressure has only ONE person doing it, and that's what makes it the best song (aside from the message) to me, jessica darrow's range is AMAZING
Surface pressure > We don't talk about Bruno 100%!!!
It's the emotion behind it that gets me every time.
@@aimiemcphee7333 same, when i first heard it i teared up because it hit home so hard. Not just the lyrics but you can hear the pain and struggle in jessica darrow's voice. The musical instruments are actually v simple and that's on purpose so that Luisa's singing and emotion is focus, it carries the whole song on its back, much like Luisa carries the family on hers 😢
I definitely *felt* this song much more than I felt "we don't talk about Bruno." Especially being an older sibling myself, I really connected with Louisa's struggle with her identity as the one who HAS to be the strong one for her family and community. The "pressure" and anxiety that's born from the dark side of that "with great power comes great responsibility" - mindset. Because super strength is her power, she has latched on to the context that THAT is what her entire worth is. She's "the strong one". That's who she is. If she shows weakness, EVERYTHING falls apart.
I walked in thinking this was gonna be my favorite song. Then Bruno. Now I don't know. I love them both so much, they're completely different so it's hard to compare them
ABSOLUTELY! That is why this song is my fave with 'We don't talk about Bruno' being a close second. She carries the entire song and it STILL has the vocal ranges and tempo changes! She is AMAZING!
So you know there was a lot of fighting to make Luisa big. Disney wanted them to be "princess like" but they fought to make her look more like you would expect someone strong to look. It resulted in kids wanting luisa dolls way more than Isabella or mirabell dolls
Which is strange, because one of the main inspirations for the character of Luisa (Even the symbol of the door of her magical room is her lifting weights) is the Colombian weightlifter Maria Isabel Urrutia who was the first Colombian athlete to win the gold medal at the Olympic Games. She won a gold medal at Sydney 2000 in the 75kg category and she didn't exactly have a slender figure.
@@Nolroa that's awesome I didnt know that
I would totally want a Luisa doll myself
I mean, she has a superhero vive, of course everyone would want a doll of her

Bro fr
It's so rare to find an alto singing a solo disney song. Really love that they did that.
Ikr it is so refreshing to have a completely different framework for a female character especially in disney
God Help the Outcasts from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Esmeralda.
Bruh.
Ariel
Mulan
Merida
Meg
Tiana
Esmeralda
Pocahontas
Jasmine
Cinderella!
Lol what is this "alto are always villain" bs everyone is on?! 🤣
@@miloc6507 No one said Altos are always the villain although Ursula definitely was a Contralto. Ariel is a Soprano. Ever heard Jodi Benson in Thumbelina? Mulan, Jasmine, Merida, Meg, Tiana, and Pocahontas were Mezzos at the lowest. Ever hear Judy Kuhn who sang for Pocahontas in Les Miserables? She played Cosette who hits a high C during the show. Esmeralda and Cinderella were Altos though. No. Altos are not always the villain.
copy and pasting this from earlier part is redundant but best to get the context.
Real quick though the argument isn't the ppl who voice character and what THEYRE range is, the argument is "its NOT rare to find Altos singing a solo song"
The songs sung in most major disney movies are mainly alto with small dips above or below
First by the book alto is about f3 to f5
Surface pressure only dips maybe 2 or 3 notes below this in the opening that's it.
So can't say it's contra alto exactly b/c a versatile alto can do this.
So this is going to be shocking but I'd argue most disney princesses or disney leads post cinderella and maybe even her are alto lol
Ariel Part of your world
Mulan Reflection
Belle
Esmeralda in hunchback
Meridas theme song.
Pocahontas songs
Ooh Anastasia [ yes I know lol but just she's honorary disney to me] lmao
Megs song in Hercules
I mean the villain songs ppl like to say are the only Altos don't even hit note as low as the opening of this song
I think lowest note in Ursulas souls song is G3 which is same for "I won't say I'm in love lol"
Anyways yah I think the confusion comes from timber and low larynx singing.
Luisa is low larynx but the "but wait" parts are her tightening up a bit and nicely singing mid to high range alto. Her highest note in THIS song is higher than most highest notes in the songs listed it just SOUNDs different because the singers style.
I always saw the weirdness with the “growing” line as the tone of voice that that someone gets when they’re trying not to cry - it gives the same bubble in the throat 🤷♂️ maybe one of those moments where they chose to go with a less musically beautiful noise but a more character-driven sound?
I like that. I saw it as the bridge being a fantasy of not having so much weighing down on her, so her voice gets much lighter and breathier. But as she comes out of the bridge and that fantasy goes away, she starts rounding out that vowel again and, to me, her voice starts sounding much heavier, almost burdened. I think it's definitely supposed to sound distorted, not classically beautiful.
Yeah, that one and in the part where she's hanging off the cliff. Luisa is straining to keep herself together and keep Mirabel safe, while also dealing with the stress and expectations... all creating that pressure.
In the bridge, she is singing with that lighter, airy voice in connection to the lyrics and how she's talking about relaxing, getting a break, enjoying herself. And then when she starts talking about the "growing pressure" and her voice gets low and rounder again, I feel like the sound change adds weight, so that you can FEEL the pressure, that it's heavy and growing.
I also see it as the facade she has in front of her family- that light and airy is her real self, the round “tough” sound is the facade
I also think the little relaxed verse makes the return to pressure so much more heartbreaking, bc sometimes you don't realize how much pressure there is until it's gone...and then it comes back?? Brilliant 💖
@@crystalschran7792 Yes. This. The real Luisa is all fluffy and soft but because of her gift and expectations put on her, she has to act tough and reliable at all times, and it is causing her a massive amount of stress.
When she sings the chorus the second time as the house starts to fall on her, she sounds so defeated. It's a cry for help.
7:25 i definitely think it’s an acting choice, it’s my favorite part in the song,
that low register is so nice
yesss it's my favorite too. i dont know why i love it so much, but it's like you can Feel the pressure welling up in her voice and it's just so thick and building until the scene changes to that sharper drip drip drip verse. really shows the contrast between both parts
The entire song is Luisa protecting her little sister and the house. Meanwhile explaining how vulnerable she is on the inside.
Lin-Manuel with a MASTERPIECE.
But the only moment she sings about letting thing go and riding on a back of donkey-unicorn, she doesn't even look at her sister, who is struggling to keep on the back of donkey.
So, from other clips I've heard of her singing outside of this film, Jessica seems to have a more jazzy style, where she affects her voice a lot. The strangeness that you pointed out in the "it keeps growing, keep going" measures, to me, sounds like she's rounding that "O" vowel back down to her character voice. Almost like she's floating it on top of a yawn, or like....doing a whale cry? Lol. My guess is that she was adding that dome-like cover as a subtle vowel modulation; trying to return the sound back to the character voice without changing the pitch of the note.
omg a whale song yes! I feel like she eats her words like a steak. Very full/rounded/rich... The anguish and layers are really visceral
She’s got a jazz version of this on youtube
I think it's an acting choice too (as opposed to just a more static character choice, though it's definitely that too). I feel it in my chest when I sing along, it's like that whole section is trying to float away airy and light, but then the pressure comes back around her throat and jaw and chest and drags her voice back down and closed, and there's a few waves of it over the section until her voice feels like it's climbing and falling off her own chest walls. So the whale comparison makes sense too, it feels trapped but hollow, like being claustrophobic in a big empty theatre or whale songs in the ocean.
It's really amazing, but it is very weird.
@@jessielefey omg I love that description
I have to agree that it sounds like weirdly autotuned, though. It clearly sounds metallic on my headphones but when I watched this on the theater, it sounded just fine.
the "growwwwiing" part IS strange, but it's also my favourite part. I feel like it sounds like a deep emotion coming from her esophagus, like that lump you feel in your throat when you're sad. there's something so different about it and I love it.
8:45 "Give it to your sister and never wonder
if the same pressure would have pulled _you_ under!"
I didn't realize what this line said and how interesting this line was until my 4th time listening, because it happened at the same time as what I think is the most eye-catching animation - her becoming a giant. The rewatch value is just unbelievably high.
I think for me the strange sound on the 'growing' section is on purpose. They are falling back down to earth/reality and so its part of that transition from the light airy section up in the clouds to the heavy pull/weight pulling her back down. Not sure if that makes sense...
While pitch-shifting software is certainly being used throughout the soundtrack, in this case, the shift in sound is coming from the singer naturally setting her voice lower as a character choice for Luisa, and the song's producers choosing when to accentuate that and when not to. It's clear she sang some takes of the song in her more natural singing voice, and then a couple in progressively more character voice, and they're splicing them together as necessary to fit the mood of the song. That "growing" line was used to really amp up the pressure again and counter against the lightness of previous part of the song heading into the final choruses. You can also hear a notable shift during the first "Woaaaa-ohhh" and you can hear the transition on the words "I if" in the phrase "Who am **I if** I can't carry it all?" after she sings the higher previous lines in her more natural voice.
It's especially clear they used a lot of autotune.
@@barnagotte7297 Probably not actually auto tune, just pitch shifting software. To a layman there isn’t a big difference but they’re different programs that do slightly different things.
I agree, Disney/Pixar have been in the game long enough to know how to mask their auto-tune. And it does sound warped, but I think that’s supposed to mirror Luisa’s struggle to balance her gift-persona with her real, vulnerable self. She’s shoving herself into the mold, trying to inflate herself (and her voice) to be bigger, deeper, stronger.
@@eileensnow6153 Pretty much the only reason we notice anything is because it helps build the character not because they didn't hide and blend it well enough
Every song from this movie has been looping in my head for two weeks. Man.
For me, it's longer lol
Me and my husband and daughter chose this movie for movie night last Thursday. Today is Wednesday and we’ve listened to the freaking soundtrack 4 times a day since!!! We know all of the words, my daughter is only 7 months, but as soon as I say “Siri, play encanto soundtrack!” She gets sooo excited!!!
I absolutely LOVE her transition from the lighter, airy voice to the really deep voice as the pressure she is under increases from the cloud scene to holding the boulders. She is so good at having her voice tell the story along with the visuals!
With the “growing pressure” line, it sounds throughout that little bit like she’s trying not to cry. Later on, at “all we know is” it gradually ascends and gets louder before suddenly switching to a completely different sound.
And if you listen closely when Luisa lifts the house toward the end, both times there’s something heavy she’s lifting, the voice actress adds a bit of growl to the vocals. It give it that sense of conviction and a bit of a tonal difference that stand out if you really listen.
I feel like Stephanie Beatriz nailed the sound of Mirabel’s words being squeezed out of her with Luisa’s strong hug at the end!
Something I and many noticed, and may have been mentioned already-
If you watch the song, near the end when she's buckling under the stones and Mirabel LOOKS horrified, she notices it. And AFTER THAT the song becomes abit more poppy. She spins the house, the dnokeys start dancing. It's like even in HER SONG, where SHE is venting HER stress, she sees how scared her sister is and instinctively shoulders that.
In a song about her shouldering others burrdens, she shouldered Mirabel's fear and tried to make her feel better.
Hearing a deeper voice for a female character means so much to me, even if its on a female character that displays more traditionally "masculine" traits. I have a super deep voice and people always said it would be good for singing, yet I heard an utter lack of deep voiced singers growing up. This would've been HUGE for me if I saw this as a kid
Give Odetta a listen (especially "Another Man Done Gone").
It's so common for latinas to have deeper voices. At least the ones I knew growing up in Cali and visiting family in Mexico. It's nice to see them getting recognition
Agreed, especially as someone who grew up with a deeper voice than most girls and has a mom with a deep voice.
Nah the reason I like luisa is that she is not masculine she is thorougly feminine yeah even with her big voice / posture oki
"Give it to your sister. It doesn't hurt and she can handle every family burden. Watch as she buckles and bends, but never breaks... no mistakes"
Those are my favorite lyrics in the entire film
*see if it doesn't hurt, and see if she can handle every family burden*
@@PrederNationteam74 Still, powerful lyrics
I feel like she missed this part because she was vibing too much to it, which confused me a bit because that was the saddest part of this whole song...
Jessica Darrow, who voiced Luisa is coming out with her first EP soon and im SOOOO EXCITED!!! 😆😆😆
What is that?
@@kitkat8242 EP’s are like mini albums
Wait, when's it coming out???
*squeeing intensifies*
@@TheGoldenAlchemist86 EP is like an album bit with only a few songs (an album has around 12 songs an EP only has 3)
Yea but listen to the lyrics this song makes me cry every time because this is my life. I have so much pressure put on me from family that I can barely breath sometimes and this song just feels like it's coming for me
She usually does watch parties to focus on the story elements and the songs in context with the plot
I saw this song before I watched the movie and I ugly cried. I still tear up. I think a lot of people can relate and it makes us feel seen 🥺😊
Me too, I cry every time I hear this song
Haven’t even seen the movie and I get choked up each and every time I hear this song - and I’ve been watching UA-camrs reacting to it for days just to hear other people realize how incredible it is.
Jessica Darrow is defo on my radar now, and as for Lin…? What comes after “genius”? All I can say is how lucky we are to be alive right now to witness it
Same
I believe the way she sings the song showcases the direction she was given as a voice actress. The song needed to separate the anxiety of the weight and pressure she carries before going to that “but wait…. if I could…” (that’s a wishful thinking performance)
After that we go to the growing pressure which is the reality and it almost feels like sloooww motion.
The direction given to Jessica Darrow was PHENOMENAL. Every single part was intentional
I think that "auto-tune" "warped" when she sings "growing" toward the end is intentional. Even if it's not, I like it because it's showing how artificial her surface is, because her voice is literally transitioning into that artificially rounded, strong, deep tonality and shape from the beginning of the song in that split second when she remembers I don't have the privilege or the luxury to relax. I need to get back to "reality."
The singer Jessica Darrow has an amazing live ‘jazz’ version! You should check it out she’s just as good live, I’m obsessed with her vocal colour!
And the punk version is amazing too (and I'm not normally a fan of punk).
I love how she shifts from chest to head voice and back again as the pressure lifts and returns.
hearing people say that this song is so low has made me realise just how low my range is. The first part is so comfortably in my range I hadn't even thought about it that much, makes me feel pretty cool 😌
I've seen loads of people saying that this would be perfect for the stage and I completely agree. It's well suited to it.
The increased strain on "this growing pressure" is 100% on purpose. I mean, she's literally singing about "growing pressure" and reflecting it in her voice. The only part where I can hear any obvious auto-tune is "Who am I (if I can't carry it all)" and as you noticed that's a point when she ~rapidly~ shifts to a lower register.
I love the interwiew where he talked about working from home and he says some thing like sometimes I wonder what my kids think when they come in to my office I belive it would be something like "oh now daddy is sitting therein the corner crying and mumbeling to himself he most be writing something new"
7:40 Luisa: *Carrying all the boulders falling on top of her, and on the verge of tears as her sister watches.*
The vocalist: 💃💃💃💃💃
When pressure gets worse she lowers her tone when she’s relaxed it’s like one big exhale
2:56 Yeah... that's pretty much what went through my head as well. I just recently saw this movie on D+ and i went in relatively blind... i knew it existed and that was about it. Didn't know who did the music until i heard this song and yes, specifically this part... i immediately was thinking "Okay, this has Lin-Manuel Miranda written all over it, this has got to be from him." And yeah, sure enough, of course it was.
8:09 oh that's dangerous, I would be absolutely boppin in the crowd, this song gives so much energy for being so depressing and somber, like it instills you with the will to push through.
Imagine Jessica herself singing this song live on stage and when the beat drops at the end, the guards let access to the stage so the audience can go on the stage and throw it back.
That would be so fun OMG!
I love how in the break her voice lightens up and drops back down when the expectations are back
The changes in her voice are on purpose - her "warped" tone (6:23) begins as the pressure suddenly increases again. It also changes in the section where she talks about preserving her purpose - that's not her "real-self/voice" - it's the facade of strength she puts on to everyone else. Hence, why she's more connected in the other sections.
From what I heard Lin the song creator was inspired by Luisa because she reminds him of his sister so he created this song which wasn’t originally planned to be in the movie but the creators once seeing the song decided to change Luisa into being more of a character than we see her now
I think it's kinda cool how she alternates between the round character voice and probably her normal singing voice, she specifically leaves the round voice as Luisa shows more vulnerability and weakness, so the song gets less round and tough as the song goes on. The attention to detail is incredible.
Personally I live for the "keep growing" low part! It makes me feel some type of way! 🙌🏽
I like that you can feel the pressure listening through in certain parts
Her Jazz version singing just with a stand up bass is amazing and sooo different.
This song literally made me cry the first time I saw Encanto. It's exactly how I felt growing up as the oldest if not one of the oldest in my family (blended fam, I was first of 4, first of 6, or third of 10, depending on what perspective you were looking from). Still makes me mist up because I still (in my late 30's) feel that pressure to be more successful in my career, passions, education, and constantly feel as if I'm falling short of the mark... usually because I'm trying to do too much at once that I overload myself.
my favorite part about the hug at the end is that Mirabel doesn't say something like "you're crushing me" or ask Luisa to let her go (even though she's definitely being crushed lol)
she just lets her hug her because she knows she needs it :'D
I feel that the growing part is intentional instead of autotune, it sounds to me like you can hear in her voice the growing pressure of expectations slowly crushing her down which is the theme behind the song. Luisa is being crushed under the expectations of her family and the town but she is afraid to show any signs that it may be becoming too much because she is afraid of disappointing Abuela, the family, and the town. She doesn't dare relax, even though just the thought of relaxation removes the pressure for just a little bit. But it comes rushing right back in and starts crushing her again and you can hear it in her voice.
it's so funny for the longest time i was 100% sure i couldn't sing at all and im not a big fan of my voice, but i can actually sing this song quite well! i can hit the low notes i was really impressed with myself haha. my favorite part to sing is the part that starts with "but wait" and ends with the "cause all we know is"!
omgg im so happy for you
same! as a girl my voice is pretty deep (i even got bullied for it as a kid lol) and i'm so glad i'm able to hear women with lower sounding voices in media!
@@mina-min yes! honestly idek if my voice is really deep per se, but it just sounds very weird to me and not very feminine. and it cracks a lot when i talk.. but i like how i sound more when I'm singing! :) yes it is so nice hearing a wide range of voices from women in disney films! in the past they all had that high, soft, airy voice (like how isabella sounds in WDTAB) now we get to hear all sorts of voices and they all sound great!
People used to tell me i sound like a guy. Sigh
Your "favorite part to sing" sounds almost like it could belong in Hamilton if LMM sang it!
I love how her vocals get higher and a little brighter the more vulnerable she is, and then drops back down when she's pulling that 'strong one' facade back around her, trying to hold it together emotionally.
She starts so defensive/tight, then slowly gets weaker/softer in tone through the song until the bridge and you see the full softness (within character), it then starts to constrict and build this pressure in my chest that makes me hold my breath! then it releases and grows back tough. This song makes me feel so much, that you have to appreciate the vocals!!! Seriously an amazing performance!
I tend to agree. this "I want" song doesn't quite have the key change "push button" moment that other Disney princess/heroine ballads have. I think LMM tends to favors those kind of moments for the big ensemble numbers (some of which are "I want" songs), like 96,000, My Shot, Bruno, or Mambo Cabana. However, Dos Orugitas, which is the "grief song" sung by narrator does have that push button moment, and changes the key and lyric from Orugitas (caterpillars) to Mariposas (butterflies), and is the song Disney put up for Oscar consideration, but they probably should have submitted Bruno as well (they just don't like to split the vote).
One thing I forgot to mention that is totally clever about this song though, is that it is the only song in the whole movie that is in 3 (6/8 time), actually one of very few Disney heroine/princess songs ever written that is in 3, or waltz time. LMM, did that on purpose to show psychologically that she’s out of step with her family.
Additionally, narritavely, LMM has put this song where the antagonist's/ villan's "I want" song should go, but Luisa is neither.
@@tactus72 The song has its own rhythm, which although it seems like a waltz for the three beats, the musical rhythm is called Bambuco, a traditional Colombian rhythm played with an instrument called tiple which is a twelve-string guitar grouped into four groups of three strings each.
The "growing" part is done like that, to emote a building pressure and weight.
The way she was dancing at the end while I was bawling my eyes out💀
Basically, the song her literally unveiling the layers of herself & becoming more vulnerable. That’s why it begins to sound so different. And then it kind of doubles down and bleeds back into her heavy exterior. The deep ‘growing’ & ‘breaks/no mistakes’ is definitely intentional and I fall apart every time 😂 then we get back into like a nice balance of tough but it’s a lot lighter I think than the beginning of the song. I love this vid, you’re great lol. New obsession
I like how she clearly has an extensive musical knowledge about different kinds of singing choices (I would have never thought an operatic technique was being used) instead of mainly just talking about the musical key like most singing reactions do. Also, the one part does give Aladdin vibes. Great reaction video!
It's not just you imagining it, there are definitely points throughout the soundtrack that you can hear very obvious audio warping due to auto-tune.
In this case with the "growing" I think she actually did it as a character choice, but you can hear it in parts of the song "What else can I do", and a tiny bit in "Waiting on a miracle" (also at 4:58, as you said you can hear it, its a little warped).
I agree with what you said about the bit at 5:02. It's like she became someone completely different during those few lines, she dropped part of the 'accent' she's doing for Luisa which definitely threw me off, because she snapped right back to it at 5:23-ish.
This song gives me all the feels.
Love this reaction. I've seen other people react to it without really listening to the lyrics, but it has such a deep meaning.
I hadn't thought of the connection to Aladdin for the scene with Luisa's biceps! When I saw that scene I thought it might be referencing "You're Welcome" from Moana with Maui's little-Maui tattoo.
You need to do the Song “What else can I do?”! That song is so great!
Love that song
While I definitely recognize the brilliance of “ Bruno”, this is my personal favorite song.
This song makes me so emotional. I feel all her pain, and fear as she sings. The singer nailed the fusion of character voice and singing. I absolutely love every song from this movie and how well thought out, I'm sure they took so long just to chose the perfect voice actors that could also sing.
Low voice at the beginning and then her vulnerable high voice was everything.
Notice that when she is showing her vulnerability, her voice is higher and softer. When she is trying to keep her "strong" facade, her voice is low and deep.
"Growing and growing" was definitely a choice and I loved it. My fav part of the song. If you take some time to listen to lyrics you will understand why she made the choice there. It was to convey a build up of of pressure so her voice mimics the sound of something about to boil over.

I think every time I hear this song that it's two different people because she sings either high and soft or dark and heavy. All in all it's just a beautiful song.
That weird “keeps growing” is classic Lin-Manuel’s voice! He always makes that kinda weird transition with his singing voice.
This song is one of my favourites from film.
i love how this track goes back and forth between powerful / strong and vulnerable. i feel it’s echoing Luisa’s range of emotions so well! this song is perfect!!!
i also love the difference between the forced seeming strength in the beginning versus the confident strength at the end. beautiful!
Thanks for telling me how to sing this song. It's the first Disney movie I've ever watched that had a song i could sing along with, without straining my voice to hit the high notes 🤣
I really recommend the Brazilian version of this song (Estou Nervosa) !!! It turned out so amazing!
The reason i love this is because through the song you can see your coming out and mixing her emotions. It starts out as rough "im the strong one, im not nervous" then transition into a sort of cry for help. "pressure like a drip drip drip" but that is a softer more feminine side, but still rounding her voice to give that feeling of her still in control. (but the visuals pick up showing its getting chaotic)
Then she goes back to the round voice "under the surface i hide my nerves and it worsens". while protecting maribel this whole in the visual. Showing that she cant be vulnerable. But she has already proved she can be so she's nervous about her vulnerability. It's why her voice gets nasally, a true half and half of rounding and airy voice. Still trying to be strong but also letting maribel into her fears.
Then she goes straight airy, "but wait, if i could shake. this crushing weight". Her voice changed that high because she knows it's time to actually fully let in emotions. But the "keep growing, keep going" is her finding her balance before she again is snapped back to her reality of keeping the family. But this time its more pop, upbeat light. Less round and rigid showing that she has accepted the fact that she can be emotional and strong and brave but scared.
All this, all this THROUGH THE SHAPE OF HER SOUND. You can listen to this without the visuals and get the same thing. Its crazy.
I like that all the songs seem to be set in a lower octave.
Wow, I love your breakdown on her tones!
"I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service" gave me insane chills the first time I heard it
THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE SONG IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE! And when Luisa fixes Mirabel's glasses! 🥺
Honestly, this song gets me more emotional than most other Disney songs other people talk about. There are days where it’s really hard to listen to. It’s wonderfully done, but can just be too real sometimes.
This would DEFINITELY make a great Broadway musical!! I hope they do that.
I feel like the worping of that "growing pressure" part was on purpose because usually when something or someone gets bigger in a cartoon their voice literally gets deeper like that so I feel like it was just a metaphorical representation of the pressure itself literally growing bigger and bigger for her. I could be wrong though, it's just my 2 cents.
This is the perfect song for what it’s like being a first born daughter
I am obsessed with this reaction! You can really feel the emotions she is dealing with through the lyrics and tone and how the VA had such a unique way of capturing these emotions while also keeping her voice true to the character and still really deep and embracing is so magical and intense! I love seeing the representation of Females- with these deep,low toned voices! Such a unique and interesting way to grow and add more development to movies! Especially in disney! You done so good with this reaction and i would love it if you listened to more disney/encanto songs: maybe fan-made songs?! 🌸
"Could you imagine this on a stage with dancers?"
Yes... I could... it's called Encanto at the hollywood bowl :P
The way your face lights up at 7:34 just made my week. I miss being that passionate and excited about something.
I don’t think this voice actress has the best voice technically but I freaking LOVE the tone of her voice. It’s so different, I could listen to it all day.
I feel like the bridge was so light and airy because it represented what it looked like with all the weight off her shoulders. When she sings growing, it's the pressure coming back.
I feel like some of the comments made don’t take into account that this is a character voice not the voice actors singing voice, she has to differentiate for sure
When I had a chance to watch this song and really listen to it, it made me cry so much.
This was told me by a comment in a similar video. Notice how the dancing style gets more free and the donkeys show up when Luisa sees Mirabel is getting more scared or worried for her. It reflects the sibling love storge between them in a subtle way.
Her voice is closer to low pitch than high pitch in real life. The low parts that she did in the song is probably more natural for her to do
Okay. The best reaction I've watched so far. A legit singer commenting on technicalities not on lyrics per se.
I really liked her ad lol. Didn't even wanna skip
The growing is 100% not auto tuned regardless of how good you headphones are
Girl. I'm a 30-year-old white woman with no children. I've watched this movie multiple times and SOB!! Everything about this movie is brilliant. You should watch the movie itself instead of just the music parts
I know i want to. If you can hook me with one or two songs from the movie like these songs have, you'll have my interest and Encanto has it grip grip gripped and it won't let go
@Axton the Obstagoon Okie! Under pressure, What else can I do, and All of you. I personally watched the movie before I listened to any of the music. Spoilers that way lol
I've been obsessed with this song lately, it might be my new favorite Disney song, and you do it justice!
I've watched this film more then once and I never processed how deep Lusia's voice was until you analyzed it. I've heard other reactors say it was deep, but I never heard it that way. I have a deep voice, so when I heard Luisa's it sounded like a regular voice to me.
She has amazing timbre, and amazing control of her timbre. She’s like the vocal equivalent of an Olympic gymnast.
The 'Growing' is meant to sound 'weird' in that they are trying to emphasize what she's talking about, the growing pressure.
Yeah, like she’s literally groaning under the weight.
Encanto is inspired by the clothes, the food, the fauna and landscapes in Colombia South America and the magical culture of Colombia. I really liked your reaction
Best reaction from anyone thus far
This song is a bop, but it’s also heartbreaking when you really watch and listen to it. A lot of the songs in this movie are just heartbreaking when you contemplate the deeper meanings. Even the first song. Mirabel doesn’t say anything about herself not only because she has no gift, but she’s been taught that she has no worth to the family because of something out of her control.
i think my favorite part of this video was your delighted laugh at the end when Mirabel goes "Yep" XD
This is my absolute favorite song from the movie (though i actually heard it in German first, the title there is "Druck" if your interested) but I just love how it shows the different facetts of the charakter. How strong she is but her wishes and fears as well. Just love it so much
