BGT Loren Allred Analysis Reaction

[@wbass8582]

She deserves all the recognition. No matter how many people i listen too, Loren remains the "owner of the song". Beautiful... I would also like to give recognition to Rebecca Ferguson who allowed Loren to sing this song. Its fantastic..

[@mhba4866]

I can't get enough of this performance. I love it. Amazing Loren 👍 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@stephenwiley117]

I watch her initial audition everynight before bed. She is so inspiring, full of grace, and pure humility. She is one in a million and I am behind her 1000%!

[@trishalivingston1051]

To me, Lauren's is probably one of the very best musical performances I have ever heard, and her presence does come across as humble in this venue. I like Angelina Jordan and find her exceptional also. I must say I like your method of evaluation.

[@shocksandfeelers]

Thanks very much indeed, I really appreciate it 😃

[@roderickib-ib4847]

Good evening everyone,I like Lauren too,but Morisette is better than Her.Keep safe everyone!🙂

[@EduardoDavid]

Best react ever. Some accent there, maybe Brazilian like me, and for sure people enjoyed. Keep reacting and canalizing those emotions. My very very best regards. Keep going.

[@nancyallen5053]

I HEAR YOUR VOICE is beautiful!! She wrote it. She wrote LAST THING I’LL EVER NEED….. amazing!!! And listen to her sing YOU SAY…. They all are just perfect to me!

[@seluvaiafunaki5838]

She is mind blowing. I have goosebumps listening to her amazing voice. Very beautiful song n melody is great. I have goosebumps everytime I listening to her. Her performance is stunning one of the best performance that I've heard from BGT n AGT.

[@mariocutajar3833]

There are two words for her , power house .

[@mikewild5367]

Hi, I found that fascinating and it really made me think about it, I am not a singer but I love music,. Mike UK

[@shocksandfeelers]

Hey, Mike, thanks very much 😁

[@adelbatto1787]

Very wonderful, above normal level

[@Clsc_song1910]

Wondrous beautiful voice ❤

[@christinewortman425]

People will always remember how you make them feel😊

[@johnkochen7264]

I love how rich her voice is in the lower register. She reminds me a bit of Karen Carpenter who could melt the steel off a battle ship.

[@shocksandfeelers]

Oooooohhhh, good comparison. I can really hear that now😃

[@carmenenglish8385]

That happens to be a wonderful reference thank you for that. Since Karen I think Lauren is gonna be the next in that line.

[@shocksandfeelers]

@@carmenenglish8385 it would be really interesting to hear her version of some Carpenters songs.

[@jadesanchez8419]

I watched this many times and I really love it

[@arturoborski5909]

Loren's Mother is a Music Professor and Voice Coach and her Father is a Conductor. Loren has been performing Never Enough, Live since 2018, most notably with David Foster in 2020. What I would like to know is, just exactly who are you, to decide who does this and that in their performance??? I have watched several of these so called voice coaches saying Loren did this and Loren did that! Who the blue-blazes, are these self-appointed critics, who think they have a right to judge... anybody???

[@wilfredoaying930]

If that’s the case why would she go to audition on a BGT..whats not fair she’s a season pro and yet she’s going against amateur , she’s taking away the thunder , from the amateur contestant don’t you think??🇨🇦

[@johnkochen7264]

Those who can, do and those who cannot, criticize.

[@shocksandfeelers]

The real aim of this channel is actually to educate, but I’ve discovered that these videos are connecting with entirely the wrong age demographic, so in the next few weeks I’ll be revising the entire channel after this first batch of videos. The real goal is help young people master the fundamentals of creating great entertainment, not just to be viewed as some kind of armchair critic, and I’ve discovered with these first few videos that the channel is heading weyyyyy of course from its intended destination.

[@shocksandfeelers]

There’s a lot of people in the UK that felt the same way after her Golden Buzzer audition first aired on TV.

[@shocksandfeelers]

Artur, the goal of this video isn’t to criticise and condemn, it’s actually to help educate younger people who are trying to build careers in the entertainment industry by using Loren as an example. Her performance is an opportunity to illustrate a principle, that’s all.

[@taniarubiadossantosdiasrub4255]

Ela e espetacular! 💜🌟💜👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ednalpz3703]

Please react Loren Allred signing "you say" in the semifinals is amazing performance.

[@shocksandfeelers]

I would absolutely love to. Frustratingly for me and my brand new channel (started in the side of my “day job”), I’ve been landed with a bucketload of work deadlines smack-bang in the middle of the entire period of the finals, and I’m unlikely to emerge from this heavy workload for several weeks, so as much as it really does break my heart to be missing all the action, it looks like the next videos will be in a few weeks, and I’ll probably start fresh, reviewing the work of Top Ten Global Biggest Artists.

[@robinmcv]

You should see her KZbin channel, performing this same song on PBS with David Foster 2 yrs ago. It sounds even better because she didn't have to play-act like she's some scared little rabbit onstage. LOL Or how about her video of her singing live on stage right next to Bocelli? Everyone should ask themselves why as a professional singer did she fly all the way to the UK to steal some local's dreams? She competed on The Voice USA 9 yrs ago on Adam's team. That's where she got her start...and she wasn't scared of any major stages she's been on.

[@bobpradaxay6072]

She is the crème de la crème bar none!!

[@brianmitchell1049]

What would your score be for "surprise" for Paul Potts' audition?

[@shocksandfeelers]

His "surprise" score would definitely have been much bigger. It's the ones that you don't expect much from who can really blow you away.

[@josedelacuadra660]

So how would you critique Morisette Amon , a Filipina diva with her version of Never Enough, in concert and in a cover on Radio Station 107.5. Looking forward to your evaluation.

[@shocksandfeelers]

I watched the Wish 107.5 version (better sound recording than the live recording) and it was absolutely gorgeous. I’m not a vocal coach, so my analysis doesn’t focus around an artists vocal performance, but she really did sound beautiful.

[@ghost-ey6ik]

You kept saying don't hate me. We hate you. No just kidding. Seriously. Don't hate you at all. You're review was so different from the othres, as well as the voice coaches. Thank You for that. I will definitely follow you on You Tube. I learned something today. I give her a 9 for emotional reaction. Here's why. I bet over the last wek I have watched this a dozen times. That is an eootionally based physical reaction. Additonally, I have watched other songs that she has done. She has earned a fan here. I want to hear more of her. A 1 for surprize. I disagree, but will give her a 6. After the initial surprize, I thought there was a mismatch between her and the other competitors, so that took away surprize points. She's a pro from the beginning and we all knew that. So then I had her at about a 3. In the son'g she showed temendous emotional and voice fluctuations, and she also raised her octave range, that I was not expecting 2/3 through and at the end. Blew us all away. I was also surprized by her lower voice early on to begin and then at the end her almost whisper high pitch. I thought you'd be ower on repeatability. I defer to your rating on that. I would give her a 5 couse who could repear that. On AGT she sounded like Mariah Carey at one point.

[@denniswright4807]

It wasn’t the first time she sang it live in front of an audience, she sang it in the USA live in front of a big audience. She was on the voice USA too !

[@andrewrourke9519]

Together with David Foster on piano

[@yoiification]

I m curious abt your react n score Claudia Emanuel Santoso voice germany 2019at first audition play never enough too

[@beverlyhill9947]

I WAS NOT SUPER IMPRESSED WITH THIS GUY THAT MAY HAVE ALL THE KNOWLEDGE HE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE. HE IS TALKING WHEN ONE OF THE JUDGES ARE SPEAKING. RUDE! THIS MAN SEEMS TO HAVE A HUGE EGO. IF I AM WRONG, I WOULD APOLOGIZE. BUT I STILL AM NOT SUPER IMPRESSED WITH THE PERSONALITY OF THIS MAN, AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE WATCHED THE PERFORMANCE WITHOUT HIS ON THE SCREEN. LATER, AFTER LOREN FINISHED SINGING, AND ALL THE JUDGES GAVE THEIR OPINIONS, THEN, FINE THE MAN COULD "REAPPEAR." LOREN, YOU ARE A GIFT FROM GOD. YOU WERE ABOVE THE GOLD STANDARD, AS YOU HAD US ALL FLOATING IN THE CLOUDS WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE, YOUR PRESENCE, YOUR HUMILITY. THANK YOU, LOREN FOR THIS AUDITION OF A LIFETIME! AND YES, THERE WAS EMOTION FROM PEOPLE. NOT SURE WHY THIS MAN DID NOT DETAIL THAT.

[@shocksandfeelers]

Beverly, I certainly didn’t mean to spoil your enjoyment of Loren’s beautiful performance. Perhaps the original BGT audition video, without reaction commentary, would be more suitable? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYXaaXR7eNKIhKM

[@nitoymagpily7094]

Awesome reactions....feel free to react on our morisette version on the wish bus 107.5...from the philippines

[@shocksandfeelers]

I listened to that version a couple of hours ago and she sounded gorgeous!!!!!

[@carmenenglish8385]

How does this guy even come close to wanting to talk about anything negative about Lauren at this part of her career she’s gonna be great why did you have to bring in a negative.

[@shocksandfeelers]

It’s not personal to Loren. Have you seen any of the other videos I made for the other BGT contestants? This is a new channel, so creating content in between family life and a day job is tricky, but I’ve discovered that there’s enormous interest globally in Loren, versus almost no interest in any other BGT act, so, consequently, I made a couple of other follow-on videos for Loren, but the real goal isn’t to slate Loren or any other performer, but to use their performances to illustrate core principles of great entertainment… surprise and emotion. What looks like a negative gripe, the low score for surprise, will be the subject of another video at some point because this is the reason why musical performers create dazzling music videos rather than just upload videos of themselves standing in front of a microphone and singing. The lack of surprise in a musical performance is a well-known problem in the entertainment industry, and that’s why huge amounts of money and effort goes into creating that element of “surprise” through carefully, calculated music videos or in live performances, there are elaborate light shows, backing dancers, costumes, pyrotechnics and other props as well as guest performers etc.

[@rmac1042]

I don’t appreciate the fact that you don’t include technical proficiency in your criteria of judging! As a composer-pianist, I feel this is important in a comprehensive adjudication!

[@shocksandfeelers]

So sorry it's taken such a long time to reply, Michael. You've actually raised a REALLY good point, and I actually made a video answering this very question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rF7Nk4Wbg7ykkJI

[@ChuckS481]

Loren is on Tic Toc (and/or KZbin) with little videos of her but the last one wasn't a good idea. Loren is proud of her new piano... it gives the impression she is rich and maybe a little spoiled. I still love her amazing performance but someone needs to inform her about being humble... I don't mean to be so critical but inflation around the world is going through the roof and in America mothers are having a hard time finding baby formula. A little spoiled is not a good look in these difficult times for anyone. Having said all this, Loren did perform amazing on the night! Good luck in the semifinals Loren! 🤣😂😅

[@shocksandfeelers]

Thanks, Chuck! I’ll go follow her. You may have noticed I’ve revised this first video of my own entirely to pay careful attention to “the room”. It’s a really important principal for both Loren, myself and everybody with an audience, from ShowBiz to politics to business professionals… we all need to be sensitive to the zeitgeist… the mood of the moment. Get it right, and you can connect with your audience in deeply personal ways. Get it wrong… ouch!

[@trishalivingston1051]

Baby formula is available via Canada where there is no shortage. Also, there is an old recipe used by our grandmothers using condensed milk. Look for it online, it is available.

[@stephenconnell3645]

Did you stay up all night looking for something to be critical about. Maybe she was exuberantly happy. I don't believe anybody was trying to be spoiled? Her performance was incredible, maybe it filled her up and spilled over.... But spoiled? How could anybody who sang a song like that and never really got total credit for it be spoiled. Maybe exuberantly happy after the performance

[@403elle]

Never heard of this guy but I think the whole world has heard of Lauren .

[@nitoymagpily7094]

Need to react to Morissette version of never enough..from the philippined

[@shocksandfeelers]

I just listened to that about an hour ago actually. She sounds absolutely gorgeous!

[@donahunt832]

As a non professional, i disagree...i think it gets old when a performer becomes monolithic and stuck in a particular vocal technique that may have brought them to prominence like minnie ripperton or niecey williams...some artists masterfully strike a balance between just enough and TOO much like whitney or to some extent mariah carey

[@donahunt832]

Do you aspire to be the "simon" of vocal analysts 😕

[@donahunt832]

i believe repeatability is a GIVEN when you have such training, skill, and innate talent.

[@jennyc1905]

Then don't put the surprise measure here, doesn't make sense

[@shocksandfeelers]

It's always worth noting the "surprise" measure because songs (and performances) can sometimes do the unexpected and surprise you. Great example is Wellerman by Nathan Evans (the TikTok enhanced version that went viral). The surprise came when the other guys joined in. The first time I heard it gave me goosebumps. If you've never heard it, grab your headphones and take an uninterrupted listen for 2 minutes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5jWpqWGnJ52odk

[@allanjaybasa830]

So why are you doing this? One question for you, is she the real thing? What is your problem?

[@shocksandfeelers]

Actually, the real goal of the channel is to help young people who are trying to build careers in the 21st century entertainment industry to master the fundamental principles of world-class entertainment… surprise and emotion.

[@michaelj.trunzo211]

This guy's a joke.
