You better HIT them notes effortlessly!

[@nessamaine]

RIGHT?! 3:18 and 3:26 BOTH of those runs! Just gorgeous!

[@Mathilda_18]

He can do how alex sing ❤

[@thomasg2493]

6:04 you best believe there was SHOUTING in the theatre when Alex modulated, and this song had a full standing ovation despite being in the middle of the show 😂

[@laurathepoet]

did you get to see it already? how was the rest of the show?

[@thomasg2493]

@@laurathepoet I really enjoyed it! It’s definitely a good time

[@Thefrancis.Rosario]

Saw it yesterday! And people be SHOUTINGGGG including me during this number!! Alex had a good min of standing ovation!!

“That’s hard!” And proceeds to do it effortlessly😂😂😂❤

[@michaelcain9324]

Impressive. Not only can you dissect the vocal performance, but you can pretty much match it.

[@marosteeha]

Yeeeeees! Incredible that they can match it easily!

[@iago07]

WOW! They killed that! Tony nomination coming after being snubbed for Once on this Island!!!

[@DJC819]

THAT PART!

[@serpentjade_]

HELLOO

[@mynameisjacenb6922]

THEY WON!!

[@dignature123]

You did what? Called it.

[@iago07]

@@mynameisjacenb6922they did!!😭

[@trvelnfool]

I saw this live. When Alex sang "and modulated", they looked at the conductor and did a "bring it up, lets do this" hand gesture. you could feel the energy in the crowd when that happened, and the rest of the song was felt deep down, lol... They going places!!

[@scottdavis7730]

I just returned from New York and saw Shucked and everybody is talking about the show. Funniest thing I've seen since Book of Mormon. Alex knocked it out of the park and is apparently getting a mid-act standing ovation every night!

[@bripk9598]

I know everyone loves the big powerful high notes but her low notes are sooooo pretty

[@Das644]

Oh yes

[@scottdavis7730]

He's not a her.

[@_milkysoup]

Soooo beautiful

[@thecherrypah83]

Alex is life! Sooo incredibly talented and dedicated to their craft.

[@ms.tammyonsideb256]

Ummmmm....you are my vocal coach in my head!! "Don't worry bout how it sounds, worry bout how it feels, the sound is there, SING!!" I needed to hear this today...thank you!🙏🏾💖

[@BTonTV]

Your breakdowns are always so well explained that even a non-singer such as myself understands what you mean. Alex sang the hell up OUT that song! Now I still wanna hear you sing something so badly!

[@StevenArguedas]

The way you are keeping up with the icon that is Alex is a testament to your own talent, my god! JEALOUS.

[@user-mp9id6yt1p]

Sir, you always AMAZE us with your talent!! What can't you do with your vocals? God bless!

[@josephsmith5410]

Alex's voice is unreal! I've seen the show a few times and Alex nails it at every performance. This song often gets a standing ovation! Chills.

[@SpookiDooki]

I’m so happy to see an analysis of Alex! After seeing Alex sing “Mama Will Provide” I was floored. The control and finesse they have is unreal, and I know there’s nothing else they’re supposed to be doing on this earth fr.

[@graceramsey1544]

Alex absolutely slays this live. Best part of Shucked and a reason to see the show within itself.

[@IamDeRocka]

Okay we hear you hitting them notes with Alex you betta go head. Another great analysis love it. 👏🏾 👏🏾

[@crunchberrychaos1545]

Saw Shucked on 5/28 and Alex/Lulu simply sent delighted rows of goosebumps up and down ny arm. Hearing this song live was my main reason to see the show, but the entire thing was such a joyous experience. You are literally laughing and smiling from the first moment to the last.

[@rmcmariusable]

Agreed. I saw the show yesterday and was smiling from beginning to end. Alex was my reason for going and I was not disappointed.

[@spwaff.]

10:31 wait. i just *slapped* my table when you sang that last word.😂😂it stung my palm.😂😂😂😂

[@Meganithmaizel]

I am obsessed with this song. I can not wait until the album release!

[@kedrickwalker1084]

At the end of the year when Spotify sends me my wrapped stats, Independently Owned WILL BE one in my top song list lol Alex is a powerhouse and they blew me away! The clarity and control is outstanding. I really enjoyed and appreciated your breakdown and I'm glad to have found your channel (and subscribed!) through this song and KZbin suggestion.

[@dietwater2155]

I think its so amazing how you almost perfectly execute what the singer does, its mesmerizing.

[@randolphfair7915]

The very moment that I heard this performance, I have been obsessed with it ever since. Thank you for an insightful analysis as usual.❤️👌🏿

[@dawnyancyelleby4450]

At the end of her performance (Shucked, it's on Broadway) the audience stood and cheered! It was electric! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@FFSnotagain]

you hit the same bloody note... I mean why don-t you audition for this kind of stuff, you're quite amazing

[@Steve_Minaj]

He may not have time.He's a vocal and speech coach.

[@uuntiedshoelace]

Broadway is a very demanding full time job. Demanding of your time, energy, body, attention. Many people have the skill, but it's not necessarily the right job for everyone's lifestyle, physical health, or even just that they don't want to be a stage performer for a living.

[@girugiru27]

A great singer reacting to a great singer!!! ❤❤❤ I love your break downs of technique

[@laurathepoet]

I have loved Alex since Glee and their performance here is truly incredible. Your analysis is delicious and I love how you explain the physicality of singing, it's a workout and it's powerful. I love "she took a bite out of that sound." that's poetry right there. I love to belt it out when I sing in my car, I know it's just for me. "Don't worry about how it sounds, worry about how it feels."

[@marcyjns6161]

Loving the clarity but also the sassy of the voice. Sang gurl

[@kirstinjennercoulombe5643]

Alex is STUNNING! I was lucky enough to see Shucked twice and watching Alex live is just astounding! Also, I love your videos! I've seen a lot of vocal coach react videos and yours are by far my favorite. I love the passion and explanation you give. I feel like it only adds to what we're watching and I'm not irritated when you stop to talk because I'm just so excited to hear what you have to say! :)

[@chibabyyy4387]

Yesss! I live for Alex

[@burnbrae7540]

completely stunning and confident voice! great to listen to

[@toddjohnsonstl]

YOU ARE THE BEST! I understood every single point of that analysis. Thank you so much. Huge fan.

[@kellibee1008]

Your smile with "and modulated" Ah!!! It's so so so good. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

[@TheLadydevere]

I loved watching you snatch that analysis. Love your energy always in your videos.

[@kurtphelan4531]

Amazing! Alex is a powerhouse and the joy of this video makes my heart sing

[@khayreecopeland7950]

@ 3:31 " SING ALEX" serious / hahaha 😂

[@TB317]

I recently came across this as well and LOVE IT! So glad you covered it. Amazed by Alex, and amazed by you and your ability to sufficiently emulate and explain what's happening in a performance. There are a few vocal analysts on here that don't have nearly your chops, and its no shade, but it goes a long way that you can for me personally to hear and understand.

[@tliszt]

I’ve watched *many* of these voice teacher/educator’s assessments of songs and performances of singers. YOU dear are the best I’ve encountered. Informative, detailed, and girl, hell you too can sing! ❤️

[@keymefortson6772]

you over here hitting these notes so effortlessly like your the one singing on stage. YOU BETTER SING!!!!!!!!

[@breegwendolyn7892]

First time seeing one of your videos. You have so much fun while still speaking so intelligently. You’re great at getting your point across.

[@vincentjames7815]

Maestro Jaron M. Legrair I will continue to visit your Studio Analyzes. You are one of the ONES TO WATCH. I enjoy so much your theatrical approach to analyzing. Congratulations on your studio and years of success to come. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@CaseyFordAlexander]

This is vocal architecture - Bravo, Alex! Great review, as well.

[@iam_ddcmoore7996]

I’ve loved Alex from the very beginning and watching them grow over the years is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! And your analysis are always the best to watch!!

[@jhordanbrown7362]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT!!!

[@marlenelipe6088]

You're a joy! Alex had that raw talent right out of the gate on the Glee Project. Fell in love with them immediately and get chills even just thinking about how much they've accomplished already and how many people they have inspired! I need to see this show!

[@chichiyoung112]

I truly enjoy your videos but more so love your energy on each video

[@ashleyhall4271]

This was absolutely spectacular! What a vocal power house!

[@adaj472]

“I’m not doing it quite like Alex is, but…” Sir, that was immaculate.

[@xander208]

Going to NYC next month. "Shucked" is on my list of shows to see!! Alex is amazing!! Btw, you betta sing Jaron!!

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Y’all, we know that Jaron said “movie” at one point. He meant “musical.” It was just an autopilot mistake. He and we and you all know it’s a wonderful musical new to Broadway. 🫶🏾

[@carlossosa2907]

Wow, I just came from watching the show for a second time and they give a performance for the ages... by the way, if someone told me you are a regular understudy of the character I wouldn't doubt it, the control and talent is just humbling. Thanks for the brilliant analysis

[@LaMonicaHill]

I just love you *Jaron* and you're knowledge and you're voice 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@allthingsalecia]

Awesome analysis and beautiful vocals yourself! I had never heard Alex. She has a wonderful voice.

i love this song and then i see you reacting to it???? its such and amazing coincidence!

Best commentaries!! So fun.

I need you as a voice teacher!!!! Whew them notes!!!!

Love this review! “Sing the song, Periodt.”

Looking forward to the album release. He was all THAT and more on Glee where he didn't get his props. Good bless you and your gift Alex.

Can you do “I2I” by Tevin Cambell from The Goofy Movie

[@dominikasauter]

This video was very usefull, thanks!

[@Karensinger9]

❤❤❤❤❤whoa baby hit those Notes lady day!! Alex went into Over drive when she modulated towards the end of the song. The strength in her voice increased as she went along in the song which got me so excited to go along the journey with her as she told her story in the lyrics!! Alex you your a bad ass somebody to be reckoned with as a performer and singer!! ❤❤❤❤I love you sweetheart and many more blessings to you!!

[@DeeJunes]

And you bettah sang. Love this song, Alex did that!🔥✨

[@rondaswindell7130]

You are awesome!!!!

[@kwakuduah7976]

This is one of the most liberating songs to sing. I love what I find out my voice can do when singing it, sounds I haven’t heard myself produce before, beautiful ones at that, it feels good in my throat (+)😅😂

[@thomasg2493]

I got the privilege of seeing this show in previews and let me tell you that it is even better (if that’s humanly possible) in person

[@tonycommodore8929]

It's totally possible. I saw Alex as Asaka in Once On This Island and he blew the roof off the theater when he sang Mama Will Provide. On the recording he's great. In person he was transcendent!!

[@elizabethdowney3327]

I love this so much. I wish you could train me.

[@giovannieze-colgate1952]

Love this

[@lucasxiong5911]

I was enjoying you and Alex 😁

[@michaeltutty1540]

I have yet to hear anything sung by Alex that has been less than spectacular. Alex is the consumate musician. They do not merely sing, and most definitely does not perform. The skill level and talent are beyond compare. Your analysis is spot on.

[@Yssakai-art]

"you either have to SING. or you DON'T. just GO FOR IT" yeah honestly, just tried that spontaneously with that part of this song and you are 1000% correct

[@sketchasarcasm]

Clipping that bit about just letting go and not worrying about the sound so I can play it before each singing lesson :D

[@laurabasskey]

I'm obsessed with this song too.....Can't get enough...

[@Stuscott15]

An impressive assessment of a towering performance

[@Thesarcasticdom]

So funny you’re breaking this down because when I heard this FANTASTIC song sung by Alex, I was thinking of like who else has this range and who else could cover this and you came to mind! Would love to hear you, Amber Riley, and Mykal Kilgore do renditions of this

[@CassieJazz96]

Come thru with these vocal demonstrations Jaron!

[@Theeldritchwitch]

I'd also love it if you reacted to 'mama will provide' also sung by Alex🥰

[@justinemarimla]

He has already kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKm9l2Wti7Z9qLM

[@BlackRoyalty-hh8tb]

He actually did react to that

[@islandgal2583]

Alex massssshed that song up baby 🙌🏾🔥💜🔥💜

[@AlexWayneGaming]

He already did

[@Theeldritchwitch]

@@AlexWayneGaming thank you for telling me🥰

[@jonathanrio6587]

Listening to you explain all of the body position and technique Alex uses helps us understand more what is happening. I wonder if Alex really thinks about all this while they sing, if it is just effortless and natural for them? I guess that's what sets them apart from us mere mortals!!!

[@xdomishi]

It's so crazy you can "casually" hit all those high notes - love you for that!!

[@bladezone1]

GOOD JOB!

[@allanclyde7032]

"SING THE SONG OR DON'T!" That'll preach!!! Both of y'all SANGIN!
