[@def8332]

For the curious, the key change occurs at the third chorus. And the lines are recited back to back with no commentary. Smash 35:38 - Nick 36:02 - Brian 36:26 - Howie 36:49 - AJ 37:13 - Kevin 37:38

I think this shows how complex their vocals are, their musicality and their ability to introduce musical nuances and variations. They are so talented and it's often over looked to my mind. Their overall blend and the way they play with harmonies and polyphonic melodies is phenomenal. And I think this proven by a 45 minute video to explain just one chorus of one song :o) utmost respect for the Backstreet Boys and major props to you for working so hard to break down their vocals, showcase the complexity and doing the songs justice!

bsb is over looked yeah same with nsync and 98 degrees

Max martin is an absolute master vocal producer and arranger ✅

[@gueddichnader27]

@@vocalbooth8585 not sure Max Martin is behind the vocal harmonies, though he's an amazing producer.

[@vocalbooth8585]

@@gueddichnader27 he absolutely was. In the studio he knows exactly what he wants vocally for his songs as he can sing functionally himself as well.

[@ongjoon9173]

Wow, this took a while. But with harmonies this complex, it's really a testament to your skills. It was worth the wait.

[@lancegeorge4011]

So true

I still wait for a harmony tutorial of Tearing up my heart and Show me the meaning of being lonly

[@marky8013]

Oh thank god you’re alive😫 nice vid I’ve been waiting on this one ☝🏾

[@frozen_78]

God, I love this song. It always makes me wonna cry when I'm a little bit "low". BSB's tunes made by Max Martin & Denniz Pop had those catchy and amazing choruses. It would be awesome if the studio multitracks of their best songs leaked one day with separate vocal tracks... Well done, DanTheMan Bardo. I appreciate what you've beeing doing on your channel (I found it recently). Take care. Paul

[@danthemanbardo]

Oh yes it would

[@lancegeorge4011]

You just made my day!! Thank you and Thank you :)

[@Johnsormani]

Awesome tutorial and awesome singing

[@basstian]

The girls from ABBA would often do that trick of getting both of them to sing the high part together, which would give it a particular sound as Anni-Frid had to really go for it while Agnetha (a soprano) did it more naturally - but they both sounded great and when combined they created a special effect. So maybe that's what the producers were going after by having Kevin do the lead with the others.

[@danthemanbardo]

oh interesting. I like how you know that.

[@rnbsteenstar]

​@@danthemanbardo I know I'm late, but wow! Kevin is a baritone, I think. They might have also been doing that by having AJ also perform the high harmony with Howie and most likely the others too.

[@derekzhu182]

[@gustia8842]

Perfect!!!

[@johncalver2546]

You're getting better and better in your vocal performances too

[@danthemanbardo]

I think. So. I also have to remember to pay attention to it. And not just half sing.

[@vocalbooth8585]

I think kevin doesn’t actually sing ‘now let me’ on the record and he joins in on ‘show you the shape of my heart’. Part of what makes the harms at the back end of the chorus sound so big is that they’re not there the whole time in the stack.

[@ukelijah]

From watching live performances, that’s been my observation. Also someone else occasionally not singing everything if memory serves.

[@RJAKAJERLIN]

Dude you are amazing my brother! You have a rare and an amazing talent! Great tutorial, I am creating a cover song on electric guitar. Your tutorial helped me so much. Much love fam❤

Nice, you're very good, thanks

[@karkon479]

Thank you sir

[@rikkicunningham984]

You've got some amazing hearing man to pick out each individual harmony. I would love you to do some michael jackson harmonies as some of his backing vocals were pretty tight.

[@lil18thletterking77]

I always wanted to hear how the jackson 5 structured their harmonies

[@quanthai4419]

This is my opnion. I think AJ's vocal should be belong to Kevin cause you can see almost the lowest vocals are from Kevin and AJ sing the part that you spent a lots of time to find out

[@hibenjie]

Awesome and fun video. What isnt clear is who does the tenor (Melody) vocal that was sung first in the video?

[@yanniko9086]

They sound so good. And you did a great job analyzing them. Amazing.

[@rnbsteenstar]

Kevin has a slight country twang! Where is the 2nd Chorus (back on the thing I've done, trying to play my part. . .) What Nick was doing was using the "cry technique," mixed voice.

[@user-kb9cg2xq9p]

To me it sounds like Kevin doing the low part you demonstrated and probably Nick doing below AJ somewhere or along with AJ. The vocal with nasal tone you mentioned sounds more like either one of them but it is very clear already AJ is taking the lead part.

[@JadDeluxe]

38:11 now let me vocals

[@lorettarichie157]

Prediction 1. AJ 2. Brian 3. Kevin 4. Howie 5. Nick

[@jacobanthony1719]

There's no way you're a baritone. you sound like you can belt that with ease

[@fog37766]

Dan I have been wondering something and you possibly might know. You know in audacity you can use the vocal remover effect to cut out the lead vocal and only hear the harminies. However with some songs or parts of songs the harmony vocal seems to be on the same vocal track as the lead therefore get cut out as well when you use the vocal removal effect. On these types of songs is there any way to isolate the harmony vocals from that and cut out the lead digitally or is that only possible if you have the unmerged tracks and or with hardware only?

[@fog37766]

If you need an example of what i am talking about the backstreet boys song weve got it going on. If you use the vocal remover you cant hear the harmonies in the beginning of the song "everybody groove to the music everybody jam" But the rest of the song you can

[@danthemanbardo]

The problem is you can't really do that entirely. There are audio options that can try to pull things out but it will only do the best that I can it's never really that great because when they export the audio file everything is crushed together.

[@gabrielmillan8816]

Can you do Set Adrift On Memory Bliss by Backstreet Boys?, I could only figure out Howie's falsetto harmony

[@danthemanbardo]

Oh I've heard that.

[@danthemanbardo]

ope there goes my premiere again. Doing that weird repeat stuff i dont get it

[@frozen_78]

Where are you from, DanTheMan Bardo? You have a very nice voice (sorry for "saying" that). It's deep and well balanced. But I also noticed that when you say the words that have the "r" consonant, you say them in a specific way ("r's" are emphasized, soft, IYKWIM) :-) That's why asked about the place you were born and where you grew up. I'm from Poland, so don't blame me for my english language ;-)

[@danthemanbardo]

I'm from Canada. But ppl have pointed out that emphasize certain letters. Like I super pronounce the letter t after words. But. Yeah I'm from canada

Dan what program or app can I use so that I can hear vocal clearer or be able to isolate the music to hear the vocals better? Or anyone here commenting please let me know? Thank you :)

Isn't Lance always a tough one lol. It's like some songs you can't really hear so I didn't know what his singing voice sounded like. I didn't know whether or not he is a true bass. I heard clearly in their a capella version his voice. But I already knew what all the other members sounded like. Sorry I am just rambling

Well they have one key change when it gets to the second half

you left out something. the part just before the key change. .
