Is Olivia Rodrigo overrated? Professional Singer Reaction & Vocal ANALYSIS | Tiny Desk Concert

[@PeterBarber]

If you watch this video, I guarantee you’ll learn a lot about Olivia’s voice, the vocal techniques she uses, her songwriting, and much more! You will also get to watch me gush over her musical brilliance the entire time :] It’s my great joy to analyze music like this, so please leave recommendations below if you’d like to see more!

[@GerbsCE]

Do you think a Barber’s Cut is great for me?

[@talkingweevil3172]

Please don’t go back every time you pause 😭

[@imgroot8513]

Her vocal performance to her songs is always top notch. She's a great lyricist & storyteller

[@jennifercadarette4898]

So much to learn in this one video, and I'm *so* here for it!! I laughed out loud when we got to the first part of the concert where she addresses the audience and Peter laughed and said "Breathe, My Dear." I felt like I was gasping for air in sympathy for the poor girl while she was talking. 😂❤

[@gracefiles2268]

Olivia Rodrigo is one of my favorite artists of all time, she just so amazing and never fails to impress me. Her songs always hit home, I love how raw and honest her song writing is. So I am so happy that you did this R&A for here tiny desk!! When this performance first came out I was so obsessed with it because it is such a great live performance. I loved how you broke down her vocals and explained what she was doing. It helped me to understand more of what she was doing. Thank you so much the amazing R&A as always Peter❤

[@itsmegs98]

This was amazing! Olivia's voice is beautiful, I've definitely found a new appreciation for her. Thanks so much Peter! Have a fabulous rest of your day🎶✨

[@WhateverDeluxe2012]

Wow! What a gorgeous performance?! Thanks for taking your time with this analysis. Such a lot happening! Loved every second 💯

[@maia.t]

Great analysis for an amazing artist! When you talked about how spreading your mouth wider gets a brighter sound that helps the note get sharper, it reminded me of a similar thing we do on flute to get the same affect, especially when playing quiet notes that tend to go flat! Funny how there was a similarity there that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise 😁

The bundle of energy that is Olivia. As a 48yr old man, listening to her is a total guilty pleasure. Her first album sour was a pleasant surprise and instantly I was hooked. Guts is an album I approached with trepidation as the first album is often hard to beat. Fortunately she chose not to have her sophomore work compete with sour and instead she herself moved on. A clean break if you will. A very intelligent and wise choice. I'm sure she got together with her producer Dan Nigro to figure out the path that became Guts. If Guts and Guts Spilled is an indication of where she's taking her musical style, I think we're going to continue to hear the Pop-Punk Olivia, the Ballad Olivia, the Country-Folk Olivia and I'm here for it. She's got a rare story teller quality and gift. Her voice is captivating and she sucks you in with that sweetness and then she might do a shouty vocal, or a ballad, or maybe she'll come back and do a metal song. She's still very early in her career and I'm sure she'll find a place where she and her voice are happiest. I just hope she takes enough time to completely rest her voice. So many singers before her have damaged their voice from over use and abuse. Thanks for your insight. I've Subscribed so hopefully you'll continue to pump out these vocal technique analysis. If I use you as a measuring device, I'm pleasantly surprised with how much of what I thought is what you thought. Things that I had picked up on but wasn't entirely sure about. I like having the confirmation that I was right or on the right track.

Finally someone who understands what she is doing with pitch!!!

@@PeterBarber Your reaction and analysis was such a delight! I really really really would love it if you did more Olivia reactions/analyses if you want to. Specifically her live performance of the song Stick Season would be awesome!

[@zatotom]

Really LOVED your vocal analysis of this performance! Olivia is one of only a few artists to do 2 NPR Tiny Desk concerts, and all 4 of these songs are off her GUTS album. Along with her phenomenal backup singers, her band is also phenomenal. I don't know how the drummer (Hayley) keeps the shaker perfectly playing throughout Vampire, especially towards the end when the tempo increases. The performance of Vampire was a total remix for the Tiny Desk concert, as were all of these songs. This performance was done on 12/11/2023 (my BD, btw 😊) and she was 20 - UNBELIEVABLE to play the guitar AND piano AND sing, like it was nothing 😲 Making the Bed: this was the first time she performed this song LIVE - it is totally different from the studio version on the album. The "ahs and oohs" in the final chorus was all Olivia - that's an instrumental on the album version. It is an absolutely brilliant performance of this song! 😯 GLAD you released this in ONE video.

[@vgolf10]

i love the technical details from your reaction. would love to see you react to Olivia’s new deluxe tracks - scared of my guitar is so solid, vocally and lyrically

[@WhateverDeluxe2012]

I love Mason's sense of humor peeping through 😂😂

[@WhateverDeluxe2012]

Please for a cover of Vampire, Peter. I can hear you singing this.

I’ve waited so long for this and you did not disappoint. Thanks PB!

[@jackson857]

Really liked your reaction and analysis. Would love to see you do more Olivia live performance videos. Can't Catch Me Now on the Colbert show maybe??

[@tannerscott3136]

It does speed up in the original vampire. Olivia I known for changing tempos all the time in her songs, which makes her so special in the pop realm

[@DebbieMoore-iy2ry]

Amazing review as always and now I have a much better appreciation for Olivia's music. I would love to see you do an analysis of Teddy Swims sometime.

[@andyrodriguez5278]

She did amazing here ❤

[@andyrodriguez5278]

[@kathymchugh689]

Love your stuff! She's so good!

[@starchitin]

I've watched a number of your videos over the last day and I gotta say, your speaking voice is tied with Peter Steele for the sexiest voice I've ever heard. Speaking of whom, I'd love to see you do a reaction to a Type O Negative song if you haven't already.... "Christian Woman" or "Love You to Death" would both be good options.

[@maudglazbrooke1287]

31:03 I'm amazed Mason didn't tease you for "Wismical"

[@mindywiese7610]

Thank you for introducing me to her. Makes me think of a song I looooove. Fidelity by Regina Spektor ❤ I dreeeeamed of being able to sing like them. So much technique.

[@jankates1274]

Shouts to Mason - great job with extra visuals and humour.

[@EllaSilentDragon]

Love your analyses Peter! But I‘m somehow always waiting for Mason‘s messages. 😂❤

[@Kritterlu]

I really enjoy your informative reactions, Peter. Would you be willing to react to one of my personal fav male Operatic voices out there; Jonas Kaufmann ?? I love the depth of his tone... thank you !!

[@PeterBarber]

I'd love to! He's excellent

[@shayasims]

shes SUPER comfortable in her higher register its one of her most impressive things

[@garrettm1813]

Josh Rogosin is a magician. I highly recommend checking out Jacob Collier's first Tiny Desk Concert for more musical bliss. Also, check out Bridge Over Troubled Water by Jacob Collier featuring Yebba, John Legend, and Tori Kelly for Djesse Vol 4. Talk about some vocals to review! Also, I think you'd love Jacob's live cover of Fix You.

Unis is a new kpop girl dubuted last March 27 ... they just train 2 months they are from a survival show called universe ticket which they've won last January this year so it's just 2 months of preparation for their debut. They have also B-side that is for me so good so check it out please thank you cause for me.their vocals are insane but you are professional singer so I just wanted to know your thoughts about them ...

[@reedwaller8573]

Peter, be careful reviewing Tiny Desk concerts, NPR will likely reach out to you about this because they're a non-profit =/. I follow another KZbin reactor (Michael Palmisano) who has had problems...

the NPR sound engineering is amazing, so is Olivia and her band...
