baby, the low notes!? take my spirit higher!!!!!!

[@ajayyy_3]

Renee has a very versatile voice, very beautiful man 😢. From lows to highs she has great control.

“Ain’t tryna have nobody’s babies, baby” but still mothering

[@peteadenuga]

jorja’s rich chest voice & vocal acrobatics, renee’s warm tone & incredible lows, stella’s fantastic light soprano & falsettos -but when they come together, the sound created is just otherworldly 👏🏾

Renee’s tone is undeniable her ability to hit those bottoms and transition back into her soprano love it!!!

She doesn't sing soprano. Stella does

[@baeyeonsae]

@@Official.tadiwa we know they was just saying how she can switch her voice from low to high

[@Nsarareigns]

Ughhhhhhh Renee's low notes are just, mmmmm perfection. Like, as soon as she goes into her true alto/mezzo form their harmonies go from amazing to astral planes good

[@expressivenature9079]

@@Official.tadiwa I’m aware just speaking to notes she can hit in that range.

[@ajayyy_3]

[@marlayye4226]

Thank you ‼️

[@blueangeloftheseas]

yassss and they can certainly sit with the legendary groups where talent is concerned

[@dirr2410]

What's unique abt them is that without the video, you could not tell which one is singing. Shows that their voices are truly equal and blends amazingly

[@Ty-cx5zj]

Yep, they actually sound like a group that enjoys singing together and are glad to be with each other. You can truly hear it in their sound as 90% of the time you can only hear one voice when they harmonize.

[@eliza2473]

No literally the way their voices blend is actually crazy, every new live performance tops the last. I haven’t been this excited about a girl group in a long time

[@jeremycollins8045]

There voices blend very well even sounds like one in harmony. I can tell their voices apart tho.

[@TechWizz]

Now this is how a group should blend!

[@ronanguerreiro6112]

[@beanz5683]

2:34 Renee's low octave is INSANE here!! MOTHER!!

[@thanatos2684]

Oh Renee showed out this performance, she’s such a strong alto but the way she slid into falsetto from her chest voice was amazing

[@neogoassara3482]

Falsetto is a terminus for male voices

[@thanatos2684]

@@neogoassara3482 is there a diff between falsetto and head voice?

[@neogoassara3482]

It is a terminus as I said only for male singers using their headvoice. You can say there is a chest- and a headvoice.

[@florazul5240]

I definitely feel like Renee was having fun during this performance

[@bodegabisquick980]

RENEE MADE SURE YALL COULD HEAR HERR. I LOVE THEMMMM

[@sazyes998]

02:35 Renee took it so low and stayed there, I don’t think people realise how hard that is? It’s actually harder to stay low than high

[@controlfreakflo]

One thing abt miss Renee is that she's always gonna hold it down with them low notes purrr !!! Love this version sm can truly NEVER get enough of them

[@korslayhamilton8755]

no girl group is doing it like them right now

[@maddfinn11]

It sounds perfect here

[@RIDWYER]

renee killed this performance! her adlibs on her second verse were so unique and sounded amazing

[@jeffreythekiddd]

Sooo fucking stunning. Stella’s falsetto is so pretty, Renee’s switch up to her second verse was amazing 😻 Jorja snapped on that last run too omggg, they just keep topping themselves everytime 🔥

[@v_kook4838]

*STELLA carrying most of the soprano parts and doing them flawlessly is something I'm livin for.*

[@tyoutz3184]

proud to see that Rennes' abilities are still improving, my girl continues !

[@KK-rq1qm]

Not to compare groups but she’s like Leigh-Anne from little mix in the sense that once she gets the confidence she’s going to be a beast. So far I’m happy that she’s getting love and support from the fans already… something Leigh didn’t get in the beginning.

[@eleeveeayees3425]

I dont understand why people dont like Renee's voice. I love her raspy voice ❤

[@jhnbbbb7587]

I don’t understand it either! like I love her voice I love all them but her makes her stand out and she is the foundation of their harmonies. People who don’t listen to people with low vocals register or harmonies wouldn’t understand or appreciate that! She’s in the group for a reason! She not going nowhere! It’s like T-boz from TLC, how her voice was chill low funk and raspy compare to Chili’s voice, everyone brings something different to the table that’s what makes a group stand out and she sung lead on most of their hit songs! 🤷🏾‍♂️. People need to start sinking that in.
