classical musician hears FORESTELLA - MY FAVORITE THINGS | reaction and analysis

[@SirHairless]

Check out my first time hearing Forestella kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqakdp2pmM93j5I ===== Completely blurring the video still resulted in it being blocked! So I went for this filter instead so you can still see some of them (even though they're distorted and underwater 🏊‍♂) You can find the unfiltered video on my Patreon

[@Bearlover1995]

Thank you, sir. You've done it again! Perfect reaction/analysis. Forestella, vocal acrobats! I love their hormanies, key changes, dynamics and intricacies. Sometimes I hear notes that I never thought would sound right, but they do! It makes me want to listen to their performances over and over again just to pick up on those harmonies and the accompaniment. What's also admirable is that you can hear each voice when they harmonize or sing in unison. What they do is not just sing and perform, they create pieces of vocal art, if you can call it that. They are, in my opinion, masters of their art. My musical dream come true.

[@Liz-w2d]

Forestella….always mixing it up. I find this really fun. I like when it comes into my play list when I’m just listening to their music. They are amazing. Your analysis is great. You are my favorite ❤❤❤❤

[@beverlyburch4467]

So many wonderful, unexpected twists in this arrangement. Bravo! Thanks for another stellar reaction and analysis.

[@MonicaCeliG]

You are amazingly talented for this!! You hear everything and explain it so easily!! And btw, now I like Forestella too... thank you for doing such a great job, I 'm learning a lot!!

[@RSASunflower]

Absolutely fantastic reaction and analysis. Thank you very much. I don' t know how many times I have listened to this song before, yet until you highlighted Ko Woorim 's part in the beginning I never heard it. Please react to the song Champions ( The Seoul Festa version). It's a mash up of the Champions 'League song and the song Champions by Sumi Jo, a Korean Soprano. It is one of the songs where from beginning to end they go all out. The 4 of them don't sound like 4. It really sounds like more people singing. It is one of their songs that always sends chills down my spine and always makes me smile.

[@turknazguseynova2674]

Thanks for the great reaction🙏🏻and more please Forestella🥰they’re amazing

[@dorothyrosenberg1301]

Your detailed analysis of this “sweet” song from my childhood enabled me to appreciate Forestella’s discordant, darker version. Interestingly, my admiration for this group has increased. Thank you

[@SirHairless]

🙏

[@aprilmay4242]

Great reaction! I'd recommend "Hijo de la Luna" and "Nella Fantasia' for your next Forestella reactions!

[@elliehart-2point0]

This is a song and performance I hadn't seen. It's fun indeed. The guys take an almost Voiceplay-like musical-comedy approach in their arrangement, choreography, and harmonies. Fun and a bit goofy: the Forrestella guys all have great senses of humor.

[@douglasjones4999]

[@MaryShieldsPhD]

This was great! You introduced me to Forestella; I look forward to anything you react to from them! I also know and love the original version. As someone else mentioned, that was the first movie I ever saw, and I've loved it ever since. Your analysis was fantastic. It was as fun to watch your reaction as to listen to them. Please do Pentatonix' version next. Can't wait!

[@heayoungjun8930]

Another great song and a great reaction thank

[@cameoong]

I always excited to watch your analysis about forestella, thank you sir ❤

[@khornhoove4899]

thanks for the reaction! i always enjoyed your analysis since i used to be in choir and had this song for my vocal lesson homework before so its kinda digging back what i learned good years ago 😆 i still love their version bc this reminds me with tim burton's pieces, especially after woorim's villain tone and i grew up with nightmare before christmas every halloween and christmas 😂😂 oh! you really need to check out their inner universe (phantom singer all star version), it kinda has satisfying chaotic type of song that will blow your mind 😬😬 again, thanks for the reaction! cant wait for your next analysis for forestella♡

Wonderful suggestion! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

That was certainly different. I like it!!

[@pistagnesivirginie8891]

[@말라데걔]

Bae doohoon is actually a musical actor. So he fits musical songs like this very well!!

[@nancycaffee6192]

I was a child when this movie premiered,it was the first movie I ever went to. The music from this movie has been with me my whole life. I was even in the musical in high school. I love Forestella and I listen to them on a daily basis. Saying that this is my least favorite song cover they have done and it is because of the dissonance of the arrangement. Their shear technical ability leaves me stunned every time I listen to them sing. Not every song can be my favorite but this group certainly is. Thank for your reaction and expertise in breaking down music that we love.

[@KaliFlamingo]

If you're interested Kang Hyung-Ho sings solo under the name PITTA (also band he was in where he was lead singer/guitarist). He has several videos on YT.

[@tedkim5771]

wow...amazing

[@j.f.3342]

Yes, first-class and ravishing performance. Creativity, real passion and team spirit, that is part of what defines FORESTELLA. These guys, and the excellent team behind them, are extremely creative when arranging their songs. They constantly changes themself, and really seem to enjoy every performance. And so does the audience. It seems to me that you have gotten to know the more classic side of FORESTELLA so far. They are so diverse and constantly change genres and styles. E.G. "The Show Must Go On", Lazenca Save Us", "Legends Never Die" or " Inner Universe" and "Snow Globe" again show different musical directions and abilities. And every single performance is highly recommended.

[@analobos4901]

Gracias otra vez por tu detallado análisis .❤

[@johnmetcalf8500]

Wow, these guys are amazingly talented. Fantastic reaction. I've listened to a couple of songs by Forestella and they are really great. I know eventually, you'll react to the PTX cover of this song and it is great. It's like a completely different song from this one. I find it so interesting that covers of different songs can be interpreted in so many different ways. Arranging is an art, like you've said before and it's really fun to experience really great and different arangements.

[@delitrejo2338]

Forestella es lo máximo, cada interpretación la hacen magistralmente! Me impresiona como hacen suyas canciones ya muy conocidas y las hacen suyas de forma brillante incluso las suben de nivel a muchas de ellas, sus voces tan diferentes entre si armonizan de forma perfecta y crean magia que nos llega al alma realmente, conocer a Forestella ha sido maravilloso su música y voces han llenado de alegría mi vida definitivamente 🥰 Forestella Forever ❤❤❤❤ saludos desde México 🇲🇽🥰

[@luzcontreras2832]

Simplemente fantástico tu análisis, siempre disfruto tanto a forestella como a ti, muchas gracias ❤

[@agustinalamour6925]

Maravillosa pelicula , con hermosas canciones y bellas voces.Bueno Forestella son increíbles y muy teatrales , circenses, las voces fantásticas.

[@venettaperry-sh7su]

Hi Sir Hairless - I feel they've turned this version into a mixture of The Sound of Music and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ( Villain - the Child Catcher!?) with a touch of the Sugar Plum Fairy...quite extraordinary! Excellent analysis SH - how do you do it? Fab! Amazing! Thank you! ❤️ 🙏 🌟

[@SirHairless]

Haha yes, "What do you see? You people gazing at me?" 🎶

[@betsyvondracek4009]

Incredibly Awesome!!!! They are so good. I love the intro. Another great song from Forestella. I think that they emphasize the bad things with " unhappy" chords but then when they sing about the " favorite things " it turns happy again. ❤R/A🎼

[@SirHairless]

A musically-emotional rollercoaster

[@maryjohn3807]

Great analysis and musical insights! Makes me love Forestella’s performance even more. Sir, If you are going to listen to this again and discover more interesting things, we hope to hear it in the next video. I often wonder what other cool stuff you discovered in the Utopia video. It would be great if you found a way to share that will your audience. Maybe a supplemental video?

[@SirHairless]

Thanks! I can't think of a way yet, because if I included everything I see/hear in these videos they'd be far too long for my channel to be sustainable These videos take a long time to make with all things considered, and I have so many requests to try and get through - so I think this is the right balance (at least for now) 😅 With Utopia, it was the song itself I listened to on repeat for about a week after filming the video. I became OBSESSED

[@manaciel]

Thank you for your wonderful Forestella analysis in detail! Their version of Bohemian Rhapsody made me their fan, My Favorite Things blew away the exit. This is one of my favorite performances from Forestella. I saw for quite people this is their least favorite song.😂 I love they looked so happy and having fun, playing with their voices, in various characters like Be Our Guest in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. (11:46 Cho MinGyu was like the Wardrobe in the animation) I said you that they gave the Disney vibe and Halloween vibe at the same time, now you can understand how. I love their creativity even in the cover. 3:40 Bae DooHoon is a musical actor, so he could do this perfectly. Actually MinGyu wanted him to sing like a prince lol like "Be more prince, more!" DooHoon was like "How is it should be to sing like more prince?😅" 7:02 In their album Mystique Cho MinGyu sang the voices of girl and boy both, this is their concert version Bae DooHoon sang the boy. (Sometimes they changed it like granma & granpa lol.) 6:36 WooRim's villain laughter decided my bias by slight gap among this quartet. I highly suspect Cho MinGyu was who pushed this song the most.. as he is a huge Disney fan, and he loves the witch concept. (You can see it in his solo cover on Kill This Love feat. Harry Potter concept, he acted like Bellatrix- the forecasting witch.) I think it notes the arranger's style, this is by Park MinWoo, who arranged Forestella's version of Hijo de la Luna with unresolved ending, who put tritone code into Bad Romance. If you wanna see his another surprising arrangement, I strongly recommend Forestella's Shape of You. Please check Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You (Latin Remix) Ft Zion & Lennox, Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You (Cover by Ndlovu Youth Choir and Grammy-winning flutist Wouter Kellerman) other than the original. I guarantee you'll be surprised again even after seeing their references of Spanish & Zulu.

[@ninalopesbrasil]

@manaciel thank you! Your comments always add so much to the knowledge I have of Forestella! I always catch some new information from your comments. Always have wondering from where came the inspiration to Shape of You! 🙏🏽🥰

[@gracielacabrera8382]

Todo lo que tocan, lo mejoran!! Son tan únicos, increíbles. Gracias por tu reacción. Desde Uruguay 🇺🇾 amo Forestella 🔥❤

[@ninalopesbrasil]

Thanks for your great analysis and for reacting to Forestella once more ❤❤❤❤ Every time I see this performance I feel like I'm diving into several different children's stories and visiting their characters! It's like jumping from one story to another and quickly interacting with one character or another! What a trip! But again, SH's analysis brought to light aspects of the vocal arrangement that I hadn't even noticed! And your instrumental arrangement “class” (I’m a laywoman so for me it’s a learning experience) is simply wonderful! This makes me value and respect the hard work of the Forestella members even more - since, most of the time, they are the ones who make the arrangements.

[@SirHairless]

[@bortexo]

Obrigada por relacionar a Forestella mais uma vez, gosto muito de suas análises, ouço tudo ... Vejo a apresentação de Forestella de outra maneira, admiro seu conhecimento e sua percepção musical. Forestella sempre surpreende em seus covers.E bom a diversidade do seu canal.No futuro quando for reagir novamente, gostaria de ver sua análise de Hijo de la luna,ou In universe.

당신의 포레스텔라 노래 분석을 정말 좋아합니다. 과장없이 편안한 목소리로 전문적으로 분석해주는 걸 보는 게 즐거워요. 포레스텔라의 다른 무대도 추천해주길 바라신다면 애니메이션 '공각기동대'의 ost 넘버인 'Inner Universe' 라는 곡(KBS Open Concert 라이브 버전)과 포레스텔라 오리지널곡 'Snow Globe'(MV 버전)도 분석해주시면 좋겠어요:) 감사합니다.

Please check out Pentatonix cover of this song! it's very Tim Burton style, and Kirsten is the lead singer throughout the video. The production is incredible! I can't wait to see what you think of their version of this song!!!

Thank you for another great forestella reaction! I enjoy & appreciate their music even more after your analysis❤ I highly recommend “If I leave” by Forestella. The song is from a KDrama about the last Queen of Chosen Dynasty. They sing in Korean, and I think you will enjoy it😊

[@arene5881]

음악적 분석 들으니 이 편곡이 얼마나 대단한지 더 잘 알게 됐어요~ 감사해요. 아마 포레스텔라가 유명해지게 된 게 보헤미안 랩소디 때문일거에요. 나중에 이 곡 분석도 부탁해요

[@CrzyJen]

You hit the nail on the head on this version's "Nutcracker" feel, but that doesn't stay there long. There are a few rare times when Forestella misses the point of a song. It will always sound good, but it may sound... not right? (does that make sense?) This is perhaps my least favorite Forestella cover, but we still see many fun new things. They have fun by adding 'characters' to their voices (There is a version where Doohoon does his old man voice that always makes me giggle, and Mingyu does a few different children's voices), but we lose some pronunciations and intent in the process. They do, however, continue that magical Forestella trait of keeping us on our toes when they cover a song.

[@VivienTanswell]

I agree CrzyJen, I love Forestella but this one is my least favourite too. It sounded almost mocking at one point. Also half a verse words were repeated. The first time was incorrect. Not sure whether they meant to do that or not. Snowglobe is also bit crazy but in a beautiful way.

[@maryjohn3807]

I wonder why nobody tried to correct their pronunciation before the video was released . This performance is a few years old. Yes. But I noticed a few missed pronunciations in a couple of their recent videos as well. Forestella is known for their ability to sing in multiple languages. It would have been an easy fix.

[@ShinyElfriend]

This is such a unique arrangement! Very enjoyable! It's been a while since I encountered reference to the Circle of Fifths, lol. I didn't spend a lot of time on music theory decades ago in high school. I wish I had taken the class, but I had to fit in AP everything, plus concert choir, symphonic wind ensemble, show choir, jazz band, and all my fine art classes. I played in the college band and in Buffalo Brass Ensemble after that, but I majored in Design and Fine Art, so no time for formal theory classes there, either. I feel like I should know more, so I especially appreciate your commentary so much. PTX also did quite a unique, sort-if Burton-esque, quirky, Alice's-tea-party arrangement of this song with a Kirstie feature - it's well worth a listen!

[@shelleyo]

Oh I like that description of PTX’s version… quirky… and good fun. I bet they had fun making the music video. Yes, I second that suggestion to SH to check it out!

[@SirHairless]

Oh yes, the circle of fifths has made an appearance in quite a few of my recent vids 😅 Hence me calling it "our good friend" Strong musical background there you have! 💪🏽🎵 And I'll need to add that to my PTX list - it's not on there yet
