[@tayagaukrodger3666]

Guys. This is very encouraging and kind 🥹💜somehow stumbled onto your page! I was self-taught but started getting lessons after I started touring with United for a few years, to have longevity. Love how you are championing people to best utilise their god-given gifts; with excellence and insight. The voice is an instrument and what an honour getting to learn to wield it as best we can to the glory of the one who gave it to us 🤗🙌🏻 keep up your good work guys!! TAYA X

[@castielvq]

Love you TAYA ❤️❤️❤️

[@melodiegomez4764]

Magnifique réponse, merci d’être cet instrument pour Dieu et les autres ta voix, est très belle. On ressens toute la présence de Dieu quand tu chante. C’est apaisant . Merci, continue

[@davidignjatovic3081]

you're such a good singer Taya, you're virtually beyond criticism.

[@johnandrickcastillo3996]

This isn’t her KZbin channel guys

[@allgood5710]

Umm. You're not Taya.

[@kristend3801]

This performance is actually the best performance of the song in my opinion. This live version is the most powerful one I've found.

[@AshleySmith-dp3ln]

Yess!!! I absolutely agree. This is the version I got to every single time I listen to this song.

[@carolineacomtheblessing]

I agree 💯

[@lini8]

Agree!!!

[@user-vw1ow7mk1c]

I agree

[@joeycan6801]

Taya is an amazing human being, she shaved her hair and donated it to a friend with cancer, I’m an Atheist but i can still get into this style of music… respect everyone

[@danielchibuzo8794]

Really, is that what happened to her hair? 🥰🥰

[@tiffinyanderson4403]

I read it was due to damage from bleaching. She’s directly quoted as saying it. It doesn’t take away from her beauty and talent. Donated hair is almost always natural. No bleach, color etc.

[@clarecatherine8387]

Hate to break your bubble but she said in interview she shaved it due to bleach damage, and you can't donate bleached hair.

[@dorisparker811]

Taya's range is perfect for her audience to sing with her. I wonder how much this is considered by worship teams...

[@chiaseeds12]

sometimes this components forgotten by the worship teams everywhere. they want to make a song sounds perfect, high pitch or musics here and there to show off their techniques and it's just become a huge turn off for the audience

[@sarahlawrence599]

@@chiaseeds12 not all worship songs are intended to be congregational. there is a process that worship leaders of local churches use to determine whether or not a worship or christian song would be fitting for a congregation. is it too wordy lyrically? how long is it? is it too short? is it too vocally dramatic? etc

[@adventureswithjosh1897]

[@rickylimbu3668]

[@FilmMavericks]

Not enough.

[@kennethsilverwind7575]

Taya’s voice is such a gift from God ❤ one of the best singers ever

[@SavageDawgJoshua]

"TAKE ME DEEPER than my feet could ever wonder" is so powerful and beautiful. I didn't even know it was happening until you said something.

[@yourkillercustomscom]

I'm 48 been a musician for 35 yrs and Taya may be the best singer I ever heard

[@desiraevang]

Taya’s voice is soooo beautiful. I was lucky enough to see her live and see her sing this song live. It’s just so raw and beautiful and she sings with so much passion and emotion. A beautiful gift from god 💜 Also I could never get tired of Oceans, it has a special place in my heart.

[@robinhughes8530]

You can not beat her and her voice I have never heard anything so beautiful. And she is magnificent. God bless her and he he has sure blessed her with that beautiful voice. A beautiful soul. I will for always be a fan starting with this beautiful song

[@apandapin]

used to be tired of hearing oceans until I came across this stage.. everything from her singing, that amazing ad-lib to hearing this sung right in Israel, it's a perfect moment in time 🤍

[@SecretplaceintheGlory]

Her singing I Surrender is also superb.

[@cyriaqueabessolo152]

Her performance Live at Madison Square Garden blew my mind. I wasn’t sure how she could still singing after utilizing her vocals like that. Just mind blowing 🤯. God bless you all

[@selfcarefordudes]

This is one of the best performance I’ve ever heard. Amazing voice of an Angel.

[@charissealyzamanlapaz8373]

I've watched several Taya interviews and she said to one of those that she hadn't attend voice lessons or the like ,she is but genius in her singing and blessed. Watch Oceans 10 years ago where she first performed it with Hillsong United. She killed it by the way. You're 🙏welcome 😊

[@salemdover]

She’s also a precious person. I love her personality. She’s always very humble and asks if she asks about other people when you talk to her ❤

[@Saurous3098]

The performance is the best I've heard of all of them......the gift is in the nuances of her voice. Unbeatable ....same thing with Amazing Grace....just unreal.

[@dannasilva9079]

I was blessed to see Taya in concert in December. Such an amazing voice!

[@catherinelaframboise6208]

My favourite live Oceans performance is the "Live show at Caesarea" her vocals are absolutely unbelievable. You should definitely check it out ❤

[@daryllangi2616]

i have listened to this song especially with this version so many times, but it never fails to give me chills whenever i hear and watch it...shes amazing!

[@arensenlajamir1399]

I’ve been listening to this song ever since it was release. It always touches my deepest soul no matter how many times the world plays it.

[@kelseyrae2188]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Such an incredible song.

[@hannahburdic5988]

Taya has such a beautiful voice I love it❤

[@scottmctaggart8171]

Loved hearing the birds chirping in the background.

[@connorfancher4185]

Thanks for listening to my suggestion!! Such an amazing song.

[@michellebarker806]

Thanks so much for this reaction, I got so excited when I got the notification 😂. This was super insightful and she's so incredible at what she does. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@jonathan_8100]

You guys should definitely react to Brooke Ligertwood (another amazing hillsong singer) singing what a beautiful name, or honey in the rock live at passion 2022 which I would recommend. Edit: and another Taya song I'd recommend would be Crowder- Crushing Snakes (ft Taya) live at passion 2020. She appears at the end and her vocals are VERY powerful/rock-ish.

[@photographybyliamanderson1659]

I think brooks best one is what a beautiful name/break every chain mashup. thats insane

[@rokvog8409]

She didnt went to vocal teaching ,She was directly appointed from god himself. She touch millions of hearts ,through this song .she is a god gifted voice

[@rel6202]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO REACT TO THIS FOR AGESSSSSS!!! THANK YOU ❤️❤️

[@samuelmulala838]

Am so glad I came across this video 👏 It's so common for worship singers to focus on the "Spiritual" aspect and not so much on the "physical" and I have always been of the assumption like you put it to work on both our voices are the tools God uses to deliver His purpose to people, so once again God bless you for that info you just laid out.

[@michaelagyei9739]

And so be it for the Father seeks they that worship Him in Spirit and truth.And like our Lord said the Spirit gives life and the flesh profiteth nothing -John4:23-24 and John6:63

[@_elionai_alves]

Taya é uma das melhores vocalistas da atualidade!!!

[@tyanthiago6249]

I can see how the presence of God can work with your lifes guys! I see your eyes when the song is playing with your souls! I loved!! God is good all the time guys blessings to your lifes

[@disismoi7860]

Wat is the link to that one?

[@yourkillercustomscom]

fell in love with her and the song soon as I heard it it's amazing!

[@camillesilvestre2153]

How about reacting to Benjamin Hastings? A not so well known singer songwriter of Hillsong who is very gifted not only vocally (his vocal range is insane) but his poetic way of writing songs is even more w!ld

[@lissetta.5862]

Love him!!

[@carolineacomtheblessing]

She is definitely perfect and always❤❤❤ it's my song of hope every morning, i dream of it and wake up with it in my ears ❤

[@polpol2739]

taya sings this differently every show I have watched probebly 6 different ones and they are all different including one where she lets the audience sing half of the song

[@ronidatoms700]

I just love this couple so much! I have always feared singing because of technicalities, but you made it sound like we gotta go there and hone that skill. If we do have it. Ugh. I wanna be trained by you.

[@mariamercy7317]

Good Morning, it's Thankful Thursday and I'm going to say, "I am thankful for having come across your channel." I'm not the kind to sit and watch anything for 30 mins. I get up and go. Lol... You guys kept me watching. I have been stuck for the past couple of days listening to this song in different videos. Taya has a CAPTIVATING VOICE! It's definitely God given. The presence of The Lord is manifested in an extraordinary way. May The Lord bless her and keep her vocal cords healthy! God bless you Chase and Melia 💕

[@GPK_ICE]

LOVE this version of the song and i love the "Girl Power" on her t shirt. just love everything about it🙏🙏🙏 I was going to forward the video when you guys was talking but mmm I´m glad I did not!! you guys have amazing voice... WOW both you guys, thanks so much for this vid😇❤🙏🙏🙏

[@christyharms22]

I am so happy in your all's success in this channel! Love it!

[@mrdiskevry2807]

I've always wanted to sing this song but felt like I couldn't give it justice, but I got a lot of tips from this video that I could use to help me get there. Thanks guys!

[@AntonioGarcez]

A cool fact about this show , its that was performed in the Sea ​​of ​​Galilee where Jesus walked on the waters

[@ObedPoita]

Her voice was blessed and given by God, no one can change it 🙏🙏❤

[@larissaprates1384]

i’ve been in love with taya’s voce since i was 13, i guess i have always loved big voices. what always flabbergasted me was her obvious technique that even untaught in music people like me can notice but we don’t know WHAT shes doing that is so great.l, but that are so mesmerizing! that combined with just the way she freely uses her voice to communicate emotion whenever she wants ❤ and yes, oceans IS DIFFICULT to sing!!!! I LOVED THIS REACTION!!! I kinda NEED you to react to her singing O Holy Night cause that performance was RIDICULOUSLY incredible!

[@eimisavageofficial9196]

Amen

[@biserabisera1553]

She is so gorgeous.. SHE IS AMAZING 💜💜

[@TheSeeking2know]

The function and structure of Music in worship service gatherings has changed over the millennia. Speaking extemporaneously , I believe that in older times singing was more specialized. You had Levites, singing girls (probably with obvious skill) during the Exodus and Israel’s time. In the centuries after Christ’s resurrection, orthodox Churches utilized music written and performed during specific parts of structured Masses or Services by choirmaster and choir. I believe it also became more congregational after the Reformation in Europe and the State, and more recently the band structure from the modern culture became the model, with having a lead singer (worship leader) maybe with backing vocals, seemed to reduce the opportunity / need for the congregation to sing together. Singing together is important to the feeling of unity in expression of the words. Stopping the lead singing to allow the congregation to sing and hear themselves singing together is very important, whether singing a on ancient hymn or a more recent worship song.

[@kaydenceking5548]

Love this!

[@ridnlow976]

i think what all of these "voice teachers" that react to a song like this are hearing the thing they can't teach or learn... when you look at a performance as a mechanical task to be learned and then taught, you are missing the thing that makes performances like this great... this performance comes from skill yes, but more from the soul, emotion, god's inspiration. Something you can't just train and copy for, it's the difference between people who can sing and singers

[@Christobell119]

Honestly the best worship leader I have ever had. Used to start the worship then walk down in the isle and turn around and praise and worship with us it hit different. Makes it hard to go to these church who see worship as theater lights smoke videos

[@multistanqueen77]

Beautiful ❤ had privilege to be at church while she lead worship, as close to Heaven as u can get ❤️

[@willfromyadkinville]

i loved going to there concerts!

[@charlizetagalog4730]

u guyz also need to watch the other ver of Oceans (Live show at Caesarea)

[@nilimazarine4486]

I actually would love to hear your take on a duet that Sohyang did not too long ago with Min Woo Hyeok on a song called Wild Flower. I absolutely adore the duet, and since you guys do duets together, you would make good commentary on it and talk about the differences in their voices and how well they work together. Please and thank you!

[@amandathompson4339]

Yeah, love it. I don't think she's worried about the stuff yall talk about..just singing lol.

[@jeezlaweez]

She is a conduit of Divine will.

[@davidellis1746]

When she hits that note she gives the reaction that is deserved but he’s like okay okay shes good haha I’m like what did I just hear!?

[@jadcaleb98]

Would love if you guys reacted to more worship songs and do a deep analysis!! 🔥 Fire content

[@Ryujenini]

I'm not even religious but ever since I found this song I've loved it

[@edoardoruntu6136]

Halleluya

[@Meeeka.22]

She don’t needa be judged by y’all God can do the judging 💯

[@BBWatt]

I am not a vocalist and did this song for Thanksgiving day before is so hard and I realize that may be I have to select a song carefully.

[@polpol2739]

also I think you would love I surrender by hillsong its all quite song but so so so so so beautiful

[@demonlord1011]

it agreat singer and when she sing it touch ur soul

She isn’t a solo artist 😂… she has a solo album. Still part of Hillsong Worship and United 😂😂 just to throw it in there

Thank You🌹

[@robinhughes8530]

She has a teacher guys ! Our lord Jesus Christ ❤and every time I see her do this sang it seems it's coming from her heart and she is worshiping Jesus and her feelings are real . How amazing and powerful ❤ could not get any better

[@salemdover]

Y’all should listen to both of the years she did O Holy Night. It was INSANE

[@randynguyen593]

[@josephriamei7669]

It's not only about singing guys. Please listen to the lyrics that comes along. God is the one leading her.

[@slayer3756]

I do agree with that, but you must take into account that these people are reacting as “voice teachere” so they will most likely be putting their focus on the singing, unlike us who come for the spiritual aspect aswell :)

[@katmossa3503]

They literally said they are going to focus on the singing in this particular video

[@HelenMartins-tg9gh]

Praise God

[@scottmctaggart8171]

Yeah, the reason she is makeing those choices is called giving the song room. Pauses or shortening notes leave room for other instruments to come through. Musicality.

[@lov3lyk7]

Please react to a kpop singer called Solji. She is from an older group called EXID and is probably one of the best female kpop singers out there. She started out as a vocal coach and has incredible range. Any compilation of her singing should work bc everything she sings is amazing.

Great stuff you both one thing I think that should be noted is her pronunciation tk her we have a odd speech sound release n her Australian accent it will express abnormal to us is English accent n our ear as it is listening to out of context n pitch tone to our accent. Anyways I’m old n retired but drummed long ago for harvest crusades n worship together conferences lol yup I’m like 75. Lol gif bless

[@photographybyliamanderson1659]

this video is such a thirst trap. waiting for that one moment!

[@seventeenlegends]

Can you guys react to seventeen hip hop unit cover of hug (vocal unit song) its amazing

[@leoncoelen1060]

I love Taya

[@joelfeliciano1854]

So interesting how both in the video have fast vibratos and talking about her clarity. It's because she doesn't over use her vibrato to create color. She has color without it. It also helps you focus on the lyrics. The music lowers in each verse to exemplify the words to manifest a space of praise. Just a discussion. I believe she's going in and out of head and chest voice because it's part of compatibly matching the hards and softs of the musical endeavors. Using her head voice clarity also makes it siren-like for the illusion of being in the water. She also doesn't use her vibrato as much to hold notes which is beautiful. Vibrato usually disguises notes if you hit them or not. Some of these things are choices because it's emotively expressing frustration or uncertainty with n's and M's. To sing correctly is one thing. But emote those words with technique style (she's utilizing more rock contemporary influences.) She's not only professing words she's living in them. Which makes it so much more powerful. She's reliving whatever she's using to get through this song. This is a true artist.

[@veraohonbamu2212]

Hi. Thanks for sharing. I’ve got a question please. When she sings ‘wherever you would call me, take me deeper than my feet could ever wonder’ between 24:40 and 24:48, did she go from head voice to a belt or mix? I’m thinking the start from 24:40 is a full and strong head voice but I might be wrong.. what do you think? Thanks

[@ritamailheau771]

Taya has a high tessatura. I personally think singing the “n” helps push the tone into the pocket-she might be physically tired here.

[@andreslopez-ci7pl]

We need to take into account that Taya doesn't sing a full concert by herself...the other members also sing so she can take breaks and be ready for a next song. If she had to sing a full concert and 15-20 songs by herself I think she would use that much belting
