What a vocalist. This song deserved Shallow and Die With A Smile level of success, great reaction as usual !

[@_HigherSelf_]

Yeah what’s wrong? I don’t know how this works. Can you explain why most of her great songs, especially recent ones basically don’t get any attention from the general public? In my opinion Gaga is the G.O.A.T. But it’s like her incredible art just isn’t reaching people that don’t already love and follow her…. :/ is it just bad marketing from her and her team?

[@FerrerZorola]

@@_HigherSelf_bad marketing + it’s not cool to like her compared to people like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé because Lady Gaga has always presented herself as kind of a left field freak + she’s 38 and the music business is incredibly ageist

[@Youmakesickkkkkk]

I agreee I was so disappointed how people just forgot about this amazing song 🥲

[@_HigherSelf_]

@@FerrerZorola I get get that but Taylor Swift is 34 and Beyonce is 43 so how is 38 „bad“?😩

[@FerrerZorola]

@ I guess they’ve had better management because for example Gaga has 6 songs with 1B streams on Spotify and Beyonce only has 2 yet I feel like people are here more for Beyonce than for Gaga. It’s really weird

[@Silver-hq8xj]

GaGa is one of those artist you must see live!!! Her voice is even more incredible live in person. Great reaction.

[@XoTeera]

Lady Gaga's vocals are just THAT good that you think it's autotuned. She's proven time and time again how talented she is to people like you.

[@rodrigoantunez3625]

She does have autotune on the microphone in this performance. It's very matter of fact. No ifs, ands, or buts. It's clearly there. Nobody's negating her talent, she's insane... but the mic has some autotune.

[@zyon7890]

Her voice is so powerful omg!

[@Addonse]

Please, this man's ear, that is admirable.

[@moym.2782]

Wow! this guy is gifted with a hearing capacity then quickly emulate that technique in his own vocal

[@ManuelSilgado-s8l]

Yes. I also was thinking the same thing... What a genius. !!!!!

[@simonesanna9620]

The best live of lady gaga ever..totaly live..exelence

[@tiinatii9676]

Chris, so great that you are pointing out the auto-tune, saw you on Fil's live also. I'm really glad that the word is getting out and maybe the industry will understand to leave great performers like Lady Gaga to sing with their natural voices

[@jsb331]

Very true. Hooooowwwever ..... I've heard one or two times where I actually felt like she worked it to her advantage by letting it do impossible things with her voice (this is not one of those times, lol). I think it's a skill like using a microphone correctly, but very very few people have it and can use it live. I truly don't think she does it often.

[@monsternationpawsup]

The autotune is definetly something the TV show always puts on, because Gaga hate Lip Sync and so even more she should hate autotune

[@Player-gv5lp]

yeah.. most tv show always put some tuning on their mic

[@halo_tu_jesiu]

I'm so happy to see You taking interest in analyzing Gaga's music. The Disease song made me feel again like 10 years ago when I fell in love with her. Your previous video and now this one just reassured that love with going into details. I would love to see more of her songs being shown by You! Thanks!

[@Ultraioooo]

A lot of Jimmy Kimmel live songs have this kind of tuning, don't know why cause it's not needed at all

[@LaPaisiblePetiteGnomette]

Oh I didn't knew that, that explain why cause Gaga don't usually use autothune when she sings ballads, thx for the info :D

[@rhettmitchell]

Yeah Gaga never does anything like this usually. Especially on ballads and less dance-y songs. She only uses autotune in the studio in a few songs for artistic reasons. So it’s a bit odd here, even if they always do it on Jimmy Kimmel for whatever reason

[@dustinoriente5217]

She continues to kill it with all of her music! Disease too, she uses a lot of grit/vocal fry. She's so good at how she experiments with her tone and vocals!

[@lucasS0724]

Yay finally! Now you have to react to Disease (The Antidote Live) that just came out today!

[@chrisliepe]

Coming!

[@quinpotter4068]

This performance left me in tears when it came out, and I was so excited to see you had done a reaction to it! Off rn to play with some compression and different placements hahaha

[@t3hsis324]

I needed to watch this analysis for a few reasons. You go into the technical aspects and help me appreciate how talented she is. I usually HATE autotune, but didnt even realize until you pointed it out 😅

[@raymondpasto]

Please do these next, they do not have the heavy tuning and I'm pretty sure you will have lots of points to discuss in there. These will surely turn out to be your quick masterclasses! Lady Gaga - Million Reasons (Live At Royal Variety Performance) Lady Gaga - Bang Bang (Live from Jazz At Lincoln Center) Sting feat Lady Gaga - King of Pain (Sting's 60th Birthday Party)

[@marcchung7813]

omg yes , the performance with Sting is incredible !!

[@claudionosotti8812]

the Bang Bang live YES and also I would add the Stevie Wonder tribute, one of my fav covers she ever sang, along with What's Up

[@_HigherSelf_]

Love your reactions! Please do more Gaga ones, I‘ll watch all of them 😊 And PLEASE don’t be silent about it if you suspect live autotune. I would love to learn how to be able to tell!

[@amerk2872]

pls i beg you do her oscars performance of hold my hand you wont regret it i promise

[@nikkothemurse7665]

Hey Chris! Did you notice at 09:27 how she lifted her tongue towards her hard palate? It's very similar to how Will Ramos does with the deathcore vocals (I remembered from the Ultimate Path class) to sound deeper/darker when screaming 😮 she does it multiple times in this video.

[@ekatn]

I could also recommend her live performance of ARTPOP (on the Tonight Show)since it's the album's 13 anniversary 🥰🥰

[@paws8403]

ARTPOP' 13th anniversary? It was drop in 2013 so it should be 11 almost 12?

[@helrisonn]

I WAS WAITING FOR THIIIIISSSSSSSSS

[@NicolasTsima]

kimmel might be tuning his guests’ musical numbers, but when gaga uses autotune, it’s very nostalgic because she uses it for character purposes. it’s almost like two different voice tracks going together for me-the real her and the character-and if you pay close attention to the lyrics, she’s actually singing about that. btw, if you hate live tuning, don’t ever listen to her singing speechless live on mtv ama. i still don’t get it; it exists only tuned, and i still don’t know if it aired like that because i wasn’t watching it live.

[@beautifuldestination7562]

Great video !!! Please react to lady Gaga “the edge of glory” live on the Howard Stern Show

[@WoodlandT]

Live tuning usually really bothers me. I honestly didn’t even notice it on this performance. Maybe she is accurate enough that we don’t hear as many artifacts from it. Regardless I think this is a stunning performance. Her voice is in peak condition and she sounds incredible

[@TheCamilaKEMY]

Love your channel Chris, you help me A LOT to improve my singing. About this video, i have to comment: It sounds crazy, but to me, this Gaga song reminds me of the acoustic version of Johnny Goth's song Burn Out, especially the chorus melody...

[@josemarcelotapia4162]

Es única en su especie❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pinupocket]

I strongly recommendyou watching the Sting tribute, If I ever lose my faith (Kennedy Center). You'll be amazed! It's kinda old, but one of my fav performances of all time. Also her tribute to Sound of Musics at the Oscars. She trained to use Julie Andrew's key, and with her blessing to do so. She called her to ask if she (Julie) would be ok with it.

[@IgorSoares-lz6wu]

True

[@cathysnider8717]

Wow so many shiver moments in this performance. Great analysis Chris 🙌

[@clareloxley8685]

I dont think its auto tuned, she can sing live

[@rami5034]

Amazing analysis Chris! Please check her performance from the Oscar’s on 2015 !

[@Emily-mt5nw]

This was a fantastic video to come across!

[@BrainDiarrhea]

This song is insane and I’d say the live version made it even better 🙂‍↕️

[@lobo091122]

Gaga NEVER uses auto tune during live performances. Especially not ones where she's standing and singing softly ..lol

[@claudionosotti8812]

It's not her choice, tbf, Jimmy Kimmel's performances are usually tuned, I guess to avoid singers messing up on live television and to give the audiences always enjoyable performances.

[@t2dev]

​@@claudionosotti8812 it is the performer's choice. If they specifically say, I'm not performing if you manipulate or artificially enhance my voice beyond reverb, echo (insert rider and legal requirements here).

Lady Gaga live - edge of glory on the Howard stern show

[@justin3132]

1:33 if you want to skip the absolutely unnecessary rant on the use of smoothing, that hijacks what is otherwise a spectacular analysis. Really enjoyed the technical on producing the fry in a healthy way. Re: the smoothing... That belongs in its own video about Kimmel and other shows that frequently have live acts using it. I think Lady Gaga of all people has proven herself enough and been vocal enough about lip syncing. Even if this were her choice (highly doubtful), i wouldnt hate it. Now if you wanna talk her sound design, fair. The use of what damn near sounds like a shotgun mic is so effective in this small space. Lets her move to her musicians without getting drowned out. Also helps to keep the horn and sax low. For once they dont have the melody and have to play dooowwwn.

[@md-designs3671]

@chrisliepe amazing Gaga reactions 😁🙏🤯 please do a Harlequin album reaction... its a gift for the fans and not only 🖤

[@LaPaisiblePetiteGnomette]

As a fan of Gaga, I agree there's probably autothune or at least back vocals to support her voice. Maybe she wanted to be sure to not miss a note or maybe it was to make "cristallic" effects especially at this moment 9:28 or 9:55 . Anyway, you're right her voice is connected to the melody. I love this performance but yeah the vocal correction bother me a bit. I really liked her last Jazz Vegas performances, this was pure accoustic and her vocals were amazing. :D

[@poczdarva]

thank you for your reaction ❤

[@jimuelmasangcay]

Ahhhhh I waited for this vocal and video reaction! Thank you! A happy lil monster here🔥🔥🔥 I definitely loved the irritation from the auto tuning. As if Gaga need it🤷🏻‍♂️

[@alexandresousa338]

great great reaction! I agree with you, that's the first time i heard auto tune in her performance, next time you review maybe choose an acoustic version with just her playing the piano, It shines a lot and is much more real and more raw. But it didn't take away from the merit of the presentation, great performance and analysis.

[@mi-key]

Thanks for doing more Gaga Videos ❤

[@PuertorricanDennys]

Im obsessed with you stud. I love ur facial expressions as u explain, makes me feel it with u! Ur so handsome too so im biased too man

[@ShotonVampire71]

Lady Gaga has the same reactions to tuning so hearing many interviews of hers saying she always sings live and controls her ideals so much im sure if there is any editing whatsoever she missed it cause she is that focused on her ideal that her voices sounds as it sounds. But again, i am not an expert, you are @Chris Liepe.

[@meghangerhart643]

Unfortunately, a lot of these tv shows will tune the artist’s performance as just a standard thing they do. I don’t think they get permission from the artists. So, likely, Gaga had nothing to do with it.

[@jimmydaves]

I don't understand the reasoning behind the timing of Lady Gaga's song releases. First there was her duet with Bruna Mars "Die with a Smile" which deservedly got nominated for 2 Grammy awards. But then she releases "Joker" music and "Happy Mistake" could have easily been nominated for "Song of the Year" or "Best Pop recording" but wasn't. Then a couple of weeks later around Halloween, we get "Disease" which fit the vibes of Halloween. But now that "Disease" is catching some attention - it's the "Holiday Season". Radio stations are playing Christmas music - not "Disease and no Grammy nominations either. To me, a serious misjudgment on Gaga's part.

[@normandyeuropa]

Feels like she strategized it to cover up the joker 2 negativity even though it wasnt her fault it bombed. Also i think she’s at a point she doesnt really collect awards anymore otherwise she would be actively promoting disease atm

[@jimmydaves]

@@normandyeuropa Kind of reminds me when she released "Stupid Love" way ahead of the release of "Chromatica". "Stupid Love" wasn't that good of a song in my opinion and didn't last that long on the charts. I feel this way about "Disease". What on earth is a song like "Disease" being released in November/December - "The Holiday Season"?

[@normandyeuropa]

@ wasn’t that because the song got leaked and interscope wanted that to be her lead single

[@marcchung7813]

Love this reaction ! Please check the one with Sting -King of the Pain , its amazing

[@squidkid2]

I can't believe that she's using autotune. There's a lot going on here with reverb or delay or just the room acoustics on her vocals. You can hear it right at the end when she does that long descending run, and the backing music goes away. There are subtle reverberations on her vocal that are floating around in the background that almost sound more like delay. But with all the effects available today it's really impossible to tell what a "live" performance even means. Not that I'm being critical of her performance here it's just that if you weren't present in the space where the performance took place then we're really not listening to the real thing. We are listening to a KZbin video. That being said this performance is really a masterpiece but there's no substitute for going to see performers live and those who got to go to this performance will have a memory to last a lifetime.

[@monsternationpawsup]

You should react to some Faouzia performances she's incredible

[@Techjunkiero]

Great song but there’s autotune throughout the performance (minimal). Glad you noticed. Love your awesome analysis. Her voice it’s so versatile

[@mrjosuke87]

React to the acoustic version of Disease she just uploaded it in her YTB channel❤

[@Aw1_bbx]

Nice video

[@mautrindade]

0:53 I use tuning and honestly haven’t heard the smallest sign of it. Lots of reverb ofc

[@kathienussbaum2274]

Thanks for this review! It' s the first time I hear someone talk about what she is actually doing while putting distortion on to that high notes. Helpful as always 💚

[@jocelynburrell7647]

you should listen to “is it just me” by flailing idiot, the lead singer is only 14 and she does some pretty crazy things with her voice and i think you’ll rlly like the song

1:09 she’s so good you think she’s using autotone👏🏼 she’s live the mic was on

[@christiandoyle7783]

No, there is autotune on the mic. It’s obvious that the source vocal is excellent, but they 100% put tuning on the vocal.

[@rhettmitchell]

Live tuning is a thing. It happens a lot on Jimmy Kimmel and other live TV shows, just in case

[@JAVYxGV]

Brother, you're wrong. BIG SIS didn't need auto-tune to make me cry. I AM GLAD your realized this.

Nothing is auto tuned with Gaga!! She does live performances

[@deborahhalbert3372]

I’m so confused. I also thought this was a brilliant performance but now I’ve got this auto tune thing in my head. Please update if you ever get definitive confirmation. Either way, she’s amazing 🔥🔥🔥

[@christiandoyle7783]

I agree with his assessment that there was definitely tuning on the mic. That doesn’t mean that the source vocal wasn’t excellent (it was), but you can tell in subtle ways (the way the tuning responds to vibrato, different vowel shapes etc).

Autotune? Wtf! Gaga will never!! Hold me back.!

[@Dmachine2000]

Always like your reviews. Have to say, I didn't hear anything hinky in terms of pitch correction. Pitch correction is very hard to do in a live performance. It would really stand out and to me there was nothing there. Now the Kimmel engineer may have tweaked it for KZbin. I didn't hear the original broadcast so I don't know. Also, the show itself is taped and aired "live" so some skullduggery may have occurred post production. In any case, she's an amazing artist and that was a great performance.

without educational commentary, this video would be blocked. If you want to listen to the song without commentary, just go listen to the original. You know where to find it. And stop complaining.

[@kenwilliam8693]

A little too much commentating and interrupting the performance. There's a fine line between the commentary and letting people see what is happening and you need to slow down with the commentary mister I'm just saying😂

[@chrisliepe]

It’s also a fine line between getting your video blocked globally because you’re letting too much of the song play. Then you can’t appeal because you are not falling under fair use. Unless YOU are a vocal analyst or a reactor on KZbin who depends on interaction from your audience and helping them learn in the process for your living, you don’t understand the constant tension.

First of all, Gaga´s voice is incredible. I think that what you think is autotune maybe is the edition after the live performance in order to upload the video on KZbin. They also make disappear some sounds from the environment or when she make a little jump from the stage it doesn´t sound at all. I love your videos, so new suscriber :)
