Ariana Grande singing "The Wizard and I -- [SINGER REACTS]

Here is my reaction to Ariana Grande singing the wizard and I live on the 15th anniversary special of Wicked the musical. This was requested by two commenters; a bit far off of my usual style of music as I'm a jazz and R&b singer and saxophone player however I loved breaking down this great performance. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave me a comment.

Ariana grande’s live performances of God Is A Woman are incredible! You’ve got to react to one of them

[@JohnDoe-lh3pz]

I gotta say Erika, I watch a looot of these reactions to Ariana singing and yours are so enjoyable to watch! Like Ariana, even with a grey wall, you put colour to the video with your input/thoughts :):) Thank you!

Erika, thank you so much for doing this!! You just finished off my Thursday perfectly!! I am no musical expert by any means, but in high school, I did do Choir for like two full years and 2 semesters. Two things I noticed right away when I first watched this performance is that one Ari obviously has much more control given that she’s older, and two she has a lot more darkness in her voice. She did this song when she was a lot younger and had a lot more breath to hold out notes longer like at the end. Now, she sacrifices a little bit of that for a much darker tone, which isn’t a bad thing. She also added vibrato in some places where there wasn’t before. Ariana has definitely improved and still is! I became a fan of her because she is a theater, Broadway person. I don’t vibe with her new pop style music, that’s just not me. Anyway, thanks so much again for reacting to this. Wicked is my favorite Broadway musical!! Love you and your reactions 💖

[@JacquelineRocco]

Thank you for another fantastic tour de force lesson on Voice and singing! I'm your fan already!!!

[@dakotajara9676]

I've watched several musical theater people react to this, and your reaction is by far my favorite! It was so easy to comprehend...since I'm not a musical person and probably tone deaf 🤣. Loved the dark/bright color scheme you used...just overall really really enjoyed this reaction!

One can't "pick apart" beauty. One doesn't know a flower by pulling its petals off. One knows it by its beauty as whole.

Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰

[@romanmalik7738]

its not a "darker sound" she juse uses more balanced mix, sometimes she uses more chestier mix

[@fridacarvajal5811]

It's not only that, but the position of her mouth, the phrasing, the vowels that she's using, those are stylistics choices.

[@ralphcarino5672]

HI Erika, love your videos Can I please request you react to Madison Beer's selfish live Vevo LIFT performance or her reckless live vevo performance (not the genius one) ? thank you for the amazing reaction as always

[@ralphcarino5672]

@@erikatorresmusic_ Really? wow haha Thank you so much for the reply, love your video as always

[@lalhruaitluanga7321]

Keep up....

[@marksakagami9945]

Since you are brand new to this and in a jazz, R&B groove, here's something that you can sink your teeth into Gary V on the BUS doing Al Jarreau's SPAIN kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHKZe6Gipa2FqZY ......fasten your seatbelt there kid! BTW the BUS has "MANY" super talented artists in the Phillipines, Morisette, Katrina Velarde, Daryl Ong .....all of them worthy. So Hyang South Korean virtuoso may be in the handful of elite vocalists on the planet? Bridge Over Troubled Water kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWfMeZtqrqeredE good place to start, but EVERYTHING she does is worth listening to. Even if you choose not to "react" please listen to the links I've attached, So Hyang is jaw dropping good. Best of luck with your new channel!

[@yaydiaz1282]

u wanna hear Ariana Mariah Carey Whitney Houstom Cristina Aguillera and all other greatest divas in the world in one voice?then u should react to Morissette Amon from the philippines singing Rise up by Andra day..Thousands of filipino people will blow up ur channel in no time...Morissette is out of this world..One of the greatest vocalist if not the greatest in this generation today..A MUST SEE PERF!!!

[@dopeytripod]

ariana looks diff........wonder if she is knocked up

[@user-cu7im5ov5d]

This performance is from 2018

[@yiuqwfj]

Ariana can actually sing, I don't get it why many of her songs are heavily processed. 😕

[@erikatorresmusic_]

It’s just the sound she likes! Everyone has a musical aesthetic they enjoy, some people like a processed sound :)

[@yiuqwfj]

​@@erikatorresmusic_ Maybe, but some artists are pushed by their labels to do things that the artists don't necessarily want to do. The lyrics in some of Ariana's songs are that silly and obscene, sometimes it's hard for me to believe that she wrote those cringy lyrics herself.
