Can you please react to 2024 Eurovision Portugal🇵🇹? Grito is Scream in English, and Grito not appear in the lyrics.. Grito is the scream in the climax of the song, when she liberates from the demons represented by the dancers. It is not commercial. A masterpiece. No one in the Eurovision compares to this.🇵🇹 "Ainda arde".. means "still burns", the flame that she still has inside of her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ6VdZt6na9nY5osi=a8WRXKPz9TPV3QiO

Beth, tu poderia analisar ele cantando essa mesma música com a banda num estudio la em 2007, cantando de maneira mais original, e perto do lançamento da própria música: simplesmente brutal! e também, e puder, analise alguma musica onde ele canta apenas com a voz limpa.

[@RoGueNavy]

Chester gave a voice to the pain, like nobody else could. I'm in my 50's, and "Numb" hits me square in the feels, every time. That song helped me deal with some hurt that I'd been carrying for years.

[@_WeDontKnow_]

to this day, I cant find anyone who has a voice like Chester. such a unique one.

[@enednas801]

He gave childhood trauma a voice!! thats why it hits home with me...I found psykedelic therapy and healing before I found a gun.thank god....

Holy shit. FINALLY.

[@BrandonWestfall]

When it comes to reactions I prefer songs that aren't as popular/aren't trending. (Although I understand from a youtuber's perspective riding the trends is the way to make money.) With that said Chester and Given Up deserves all of the attention. I honestly don't know if we'll ever have an artist like him again. He's truly one of a kind.

[@derpderpin1568]

@@BrandonWestfall Definitely not one of a kind though. If you're familiar with less popular music you should really know this. The prog world is full of the most talented vocalists on the planet.

[@eliteiel9747]

@@derpderpin1568 Dont rly think theres anybody that could sing in that range so comfortably. He isnt squeezing when doing those high notes, it's natural to him. Theres a lot of people that can go up into that range but none like Chester. Also theres a lot of people that can probs do the 17 second scream too, but none I have watched so far have managed to actually put the note underneath that scream. What Chester is doing is not a fry scream, there is a note and a pitch that is audible under there. So all in all I'm aware there are some really good singers out there, but I wouldnt mind saying Chester was pretty unique.

[@ThinkCriticallyNow]

[@IceSpoon]

I struggle keeping a single tone for 17 seconds (and I need a lot of air in my lungs). Imagine this madlad screaming THIS after having only one or two seconds to breathe after the "MY MISERY" scream, and then he has only a few more seconds to breathe afterwards and keep on with the chorus. THOSE LUNGS GODDAMMIT, THOSE LUNGS!!!

[@CottidaeSEA]

I used to have pretty crazy lung capacity, could hold a clear note for at least half a minute even multiple times in succession and I could exhale for almost two minutes if doing it in a controlled manner. This is still unthinkable to me. Chester was just extremely skilled. He got so much power out of his voice even when he kept things fairly low volume.

[@Sonny7Steelhard]

If you want to sing like Chester, you need to train on a treadmill to sing. Imagine Chester hitting PRs just before a concert and me hitting that concert every fucking time.

[@DrenoshGaming]

Words cannot describe what that man (and band) did for my life, followed through my teens into my 20s before the sad loss of Chester.

I listen to heavy music all my life but I heard only a few metal singers who sing and screams with real raw emotion in not generic way. You really feel his pain. Chester was authentic as hell. No bullshit.

[@zyxwut321]

Wow, I can tell this one was a passion project for you, Beth. Excellent job concentrating on the technique when it's obviously subject matter and an artist who cuts deep and very personally. I'm sure fans and maybe even people associated with the band are very appreciative of your efforts here. I know I am.

He will always be one of my favorite singers. His talent boggles my mind. Watching him - I'm torn between his physical beauty and humanity, insane talent, and the pain you see, hear, and feel. R.I.P. Chester ❤

[@iSikWicked]

If I remember correctly, Chester couldn't do that 17-second scream anymore because his vocal cords couldn't handle it anymore. I think I once read something like this that came up during a medical examination.

[@il3mendo]

That is life...... 😢

[@TheCynicalAutist]

It's incredibly difficult to do for anyone, even him. There is a rumour that he had an operation, but Chester himself debunked that. It just seems like as he got older he couldn't do that at every show, which is completely understandable given the extensive touring he did for nearly two decades.

[@darrensmith3747]

He had issues with his voice just before making the thousand suns album and was told by doctors to take it easier with the screams or he could irreparable damage his voice and it was a little more chill on that album. Then living things came out as well and back to normal lol

[@Eddie-ol9cv]

Him and johnathan davis are the only 2 people that have been brave enough to put their deep pain in such detail that no one would want to sing about.

[@Hydra_Scope]

Linkin Park has been my favorite band since I was a kid. I was broken up when I heard he passed. Every song I listen to by them hits home, from the lyrics to the emotion in his voice.

[@ValiantXD818]

I was their at that concert and my God, Chester's voice is just soooo soooo much better live. That was the best concert I have ever been to, and I will never forget seeing him at MK. He helped me so much growing up, and I just wish I could have told him and said thank you 😢 RIP Chester.

[@kyoukitos]

Some people are blessed with the power to represent how the world feel. Chester was one of those. His voice could touch anyone who had heard him sing. He was blessed and so were we for having him with us. The world miss him.

[@TiagoZor-El]

R.I.P brother. Your voice lives on forever Chester Bennington. Been listening to your music since high school and still listen to it every day when I'm at work especially when I'm feeling down or when I'm pissed off 😂😂😂

[@dus10dnd]

I have to say, I’ve watched your reaction to this song multiple times. It is so strange to understand so deeply what you said about feeling what someone else feels when Chester has that emotion. It is even crazier to take it a step further to feel like you’re understood by the singer, as well. I had to suppress everything I felt when he died because I was traveling with a customer, but I completely broke down when I arrived at the airport to my wife. He was such a legend in so many ways. As someone that has the same demons, I am shocked that I have survived without him when he has saved me so many times. I have to add … it is utterly devastating to think the those vocal chords, brain, and the rest, were silenced and burned in fire. We have to keep this all alive for eternity and be better to one another.

[@RCW_Trader]

Chills every time…. This performance I really feel his emotions. Wow

[@ancatdal]

I think it's amazing to hear someone describe how they physically feel his voice, because I really do too. It strikes me just about between my shoulderblades, like it's trying to get in, and sometimes it's almost unpleasant. I think it's because, like you said, some of his sounds are so primal and emotional, it triggers a response. I also often wish I could hug him, because he awakens so much compassion in me. It really was something, how authentic his voice was ❤ Thank you for sharing your insights! It's deeply fascinating, and you do it in such a way as can be understood by people who aren't singers, or even musicians. Well done! This might seem an odd suggestion, but I'm really curious about what you'd think of some of Chester's earliest work. During his late teens/earliest twenties, he was in a band called Grey Daze. They released two albums, Wake Me and No Sun Today. They had a very grungy sound, and Chester's singing is quite different there. Sadly no live recordings with decent audio. The band remade many songs after Chester's passing, but for the most part, I prefer their old ones. If you'd be interested, I think it would be fascinating, but I get if it's not "popular enough" to get the views needed to make a video. Thank you once again, I hope to see more analysis of his vocals ❤

[@deimos0503]

the velocity and the timing that Chester pass to a rough sound to a clear and high sound is crazy. Only him.

[@Dunkcity5994]

I dont know why i was fine the entire video until the end, and some emotion started welling up. A one of a kind talent lost to his own inner struggle. Live on through the music Chester 🙏

Thank you for your fantastic response. Tears in my eyes too. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️

[@slap_A_flamingo]

I've loved Linkin Park since like 2000 or something. Nearly every song by them hits differently partly because of the struggles I've been through and mostly because Chester was going through a lot, unknown to a lot of people. The lyrics have such a deeper meaning now. Love them.

[@briansmith9072]

Thanks Beth I have watched many of your videos and really appreciate your musical knowledge. You are one of my favorite reactionary persons and this one really hit home as my best friend suffers from severe depression with suicidal thoughts everyday.

[@ZapanTheberserker]

Chester explained in an interview that singing isn't hurting for his throat but for his head. To make distortion, you need to apply a lot of pressure plus an incredible work for breathing. That's why your blood pressure raise like you're trying to lift heavy weights. Cheers from France PS: I need you to know you have the cutest smile of KZbin!

[@nerinine]

Beth is so honest in her feelings.

[@NeganLucile-m7d]

Great chanell !!Chester didn’t always do the 17 seconds live, maybe to save his voice or by choice,in fact he did it several times live , particularly at the concert in san antonio in 2007 or 2008 .he did the 17 seconds twice in the same live in , given up and at the beginning of , from the inside. it was crazy.

[@Xxxero42]

He didn't do it in this video, but there is a live version where he pulls off the full 17 seconds. I was floored to see it.

[@Fox22791]

his live in clarkston version of given up, he does quite a few interesting things on top of a continuous 17 second scream. the 2nd bridge, when he goes "I hyperventilate" he says it while shaking his body to make it more in depth of what he is singing. its really cool.

[@sadiekincaid5310]

I don't know if you have reacted to QWERTY live Summer Sonic 2006 but if you haven't then you should react to QWERTY live Summer Sonic 2006. It really shows Chester's ability to switch back and forth between screaming and clean vocals. For Chester this was just a part in how he delt with his feelings in a healthier manner especially after going to rehab. For Chester the music is one of the things that helped him live as long as he did. Chester wore his heart on his sleeve and was very open with the fans about his struggles in life. He felt if he shared what he was dealing with then he maybe able to help someone else to not feel alone in their struggles with life. Chester had a bad childhood starting at the age of 7 years old.

[@moonwalker9266]

Their songs his voice always get me... After his death there are certain songs that I cannot listen anymore without crying my eyes out every time...

[@edwinduisburg8138]

I highly recommend people to listen his one of old albums called 'No Sun Today'. He was with a group called Grey Daze. One of his best works.

[@alisacook5830]

I hardly ever see mention that band and it’s too bad as it was some great work by him. For me, Dead by Sunrise was even better. His vocal range is amazing

[@ghostmonkey0432]

I remember seeing for the. first time if I remember correctly it was chiodos, coheed and Cambria, buck cherry, and man what a show, got to see him again for the project revolution tour where they sang hunger strike with Chris Cornell. We also need to remember that alot of the songs are also written by Mike Shinoda even some of the heavier lyrical songs chester of course was one hell of a singer, and knew how to bring his own experiences and just take the song to another level.
