a bunch of leos singing

I hope this observation on how Whitney Houston, Mitch Grassi, Christina Perri, Demi Lovato, Robert Plant, Serj Tankian, Layne Staley, Bruce Dickinson, Shawn Mendes, Vanessa Carlton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hwasa, and Joe Jonas sing helps you figure out how the voice works better, so you can learn how to make smart choices in your own voice.

Surely not a 'bunch' of Leo's singing, it's got to be a pride 😉

[@maddynw]

I love watching you react to celebrities because you are willing to point out certain technical flaws they have and also explain their techniques really well. As someone who spent my whole life learning to sing by listening to these professionals, it’s really helpful to have you explain what is healthy with their voices, and which of their unhealthier techniques to be careful with. Thank you so much for your vids!

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad the vids are helping you.

[@carag2567]

"Nasty sound" "That flippy place" "Operaland" "Chest puller" I love how this channel has its own language ❤

I’m a simple person: I see Mitch, I click. Also, please react to more Pentatonix!

[@ChristoAbrie]

have you done a video on famous singers doing singing impressions of other famous singers? like with Jimmy Fallon's Wheel of Musical Impressions. it'll be interesting to hear your views on what they're doing to sound like the other artist.

[@loupgarou95]

This is a hilarious premise made even funnier because of the actually serious vocal analysis. I'm here for it tbh.

I miss Whitney. She was truly an original and I just don't think we'll have anyone as amazing as her again. Remember when she did the National Anthem at the super bowl? Outstanding!

Wow, thank you!

Oh Mitch Grassi has returned to this channel :O Can you react to *Pentatonix's famous live performance of Hallelujah?* Mitch Grassi slays in that too (Btw if you reacted to it you would get TONS of views lol, everybody loves Pentatonix reactions and analyses)

Plz do mitch grassi vocal range I would like a professional opinion on his placement as he goes up

[@anastapatsak]

Oh Sam, you are truly the best. From all the voice teachers reacting here on KZbin, you are by far the most observant, insightful and always kind and sweet. Your feedback is always on point and I love that you point out some of the unhealthier choices that these artists make to get a distinctive, recognisable sound. It's important that young singers understand this when they try to imitate them, because they might not find a way to make it work right for them! Ps, i agree so much with what you said about not collapsing the internal space! Whatever you are doing in the front with your lips it's so important to maintain your soft pallet lifted!

[@bharp4390]

So glad you're back to uploading regularly, Sam. Your videos help me greatly.

[@MaxenceLasserreEngberts]

This video was tremendously interesting! I loved the ''rapid-fire'' analysis of numerous singers.

[@pedrosousa9644]

I LOVED the idea of the signs! Some leos missing: Alison Krauss, Michelle Williams (Destiny’s Child), Jennifer Lopez, Mick Jagger, Martina McBride, Kate Bush, Joe Elliott (Def Leppard), Tony Bennett, Louis Armstrong, Helene Fischer, Madonna, Mika, Lee Ann Womack, Missy Higgins, Kacey Musgraves, Dua Lipa and Tori Amos.

[@FedotovaLiza]

You made a bit of a mistake there in Dula Peep’a name

[@katherinemorelle7115]

I love Missy Higgins and I’d love to see him react to her. She has wildly different vowel sounds than most singers, because she really uses her Australian accent when she sings. I’ve been a fan of Missy’s for however long it’s been since she released Scar. 15 years? More?

[@debshipman4697]

Being a harmony singer I always liked the melody singer to stand behind me and sing THROUGH me soon could feel their space in my body/ mouth/ resonators. Helps me more closely blend/ match their sound. Barbershop bari!

[@RhiannaH27795]

As a typical Leo, I automatically love any video about us 😂 thank you Sam! Love it x

I always enjoy your reviews--fair, thoughtful observations and nicely explained ways to address any potential issues. Plus you're fun.

I would love to see a reaction of Layne Staley in other performances, he was such a good singer for me. It will be so interesting. Lots of love Sam, you're amazing ❤️

[@Elora445]

Would be nice seeing some Capricorns, sometime in the future. Some interesting voices there too, among them David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton and Eddie Vedder. One could throw a stone in any direction and hit a good singer in any sign, it seems. :) Edit: I like how you point out the strength and weaknesses in any kind of voice, and that you don't have just one kind of voice in the video.

[@tshep173]

Thank you for sharing your vision and expertise!

[@laurabergh9389]

I NEED to hear your take on Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria. He's got tons of character voices that he does in his songs, along with just a unique tone generally.

[@katherinemorelle7115]

If you like seeing people who aren’t known for singing, sing- I recommend Jensen Ackles. I think there’s a lot to look at with him. There’s the Nashcin version of Whipping Post, or his version Wild Mountain Thyme. They both sound like they’re sung by completely different people. And then there’s his own songs, Sounds of Someday and Drowning- they both sound like him. You hear them, and you hear his speaking voice in them. I’m a fan. He has a lovely voice. And he’s a good musician too- I’m pretty sure that’s what he’ll be doing after Supernatural ends. Music and his brewing company. He’s already released one album (he and his friend Steve Carlson formed the band Radio Company, and they write their own music), and apparently they’re already recording the second. I’m looking forward to it, I loved the first album. I’d say it has a sort of folksy-rock sound.

[@parnwonganudroj6485]

Wait, wait wait. Jensen Ackles sings!!? Holy shit. Thank you so much.

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Parn Wonganudroj you’re welcome. He sings, plays guitar, and is a pretty good songwriter too. An all around talented musician. The Radio Company album is my current favourite listen. He’s got a gorgeous voice, it’s smooth and can be sweet, with a good range, but can also give that lovely “honey over gravel” type of growl. And he’s versatile too- everything from very sweet folk to a hard rock (hence why I recommend the two songs I did, they’re at the opposite ends of what he sings). He also did a lovely cover of Angeles (originally by Eliot Smith) a few years ago. Honestly, I prefer his cover over the original. He sings at Supernatural conventions (that’s where he first started singing in public), and has done great live covers of songs like Brother, Simple Man, Sister Christian, Tennessee Whisky (has got the voice for it, and his runs are fantastic too), and he and Corey Taylor did a great cover of Wanted Dead or Alive last year. Very entertaining.
