Vocal Coach REACTS - RAYE "Oscar Winning Tears" (Live at Royal Albert Hall)

[@Rosannasfriend]

Oh my God, I am thrilled. You found one of today’s best singers in the world! Every performance you will watch is better than the last. I promise you. I want you to watch her version of “it’s a man’s world“.

[@cbw-2211]

RAYE just simply has IT. She’s so authentic, humble and of course her voice is insane. I get goosebumps every time I hear this live version of Oscar Winning Tears. Thanks for reacting!

[@melwilliams8799]

Pure London mate! no American there...lol This is the London Philharmonic Orchestra and she wrote the score for them. A true artist.

[@marktodd7397]

Great reaction, Watch her medley performance at the Brits next.

She's not just British, but south London - tends to lead to that slightly more urban husk you sometimes get with some British singers. She's a hell of an artist and I was lucky enough to be on cameras for her live symphonic shows - only very briefly got to meet and speak to her but being part of these productions in London was reward enough, a career highlight so far! And I hope she goes very far in hers 😇

[@terryellsworth5848]

You catch up on the emotional factors of what this performance truly meant to Raye. 10 years of working hard in the industry and 7 of those years in shackles to a company who refused all of her personal individual artistry.

[@poolhallshark]

👍👍

[@terryellsworth5848]

Ken, Glad youve happened upon the genius and incredibly talented Raye. It is ALL her arrangements throughout her full 21st Century Blues Symphony concert and full album release. It is stunning delivery coupled with craftsmanship that is unparalleled in my 62 years of life. She incorporates such a wide range of stylistic nods from the jazz-blues greats of the 30s through 60s, on through the pop-r&b dynamos of the past 30 years. Then she throughs incredible swooning epic bird-of-heaven sounds. Yes she's our worlds new Goddess of Song! This from a 4year Angel and mega -believer in the truth that is also Angelina Jordan. What a couple of NEW powerhouses to fill the Adele-less void of the upcoming years. Cheers 🥂

♥♥♥♥♥

[@Hundhammer]

Same here, even also 4 years of AJ, discovered RAYE 4 months ago and am insanely addicted... Which one should we suggest next? Brit Awards Medley? Man's World at Montreux? London Hilton Worth It? Please Don't Touch Hunger Session? Genesis MV? Could you name a favorite one? I really can't, love everything she does... Peace and love from BavaRAYEa!

[@hiatusmode989]

Raye is one of the best Upcoming Singer ❤️❤️

[@FloraBarron-mg1kz]

Very interested in the American accent comment. As an English person, I hear Raye being fully seated in her English accent, more specifically a south London accent. I don't hear the American sound referenced at all.

[@jenObu1]

Agree..I hear South London all the way

[@ML_SE]

At the 2024 BRIT Awards Raye broke the record for most wins and nominations for an artist at the ceremony in a single year. She won in the categories Artist of the Year and New Artist of the Year. Her "Escapism" was named song of the year and "My 21st Century Blues" was named album of the year. She also wins the R&B Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year categories. She's great! 🤓🇸🇪

[@shannonharveyplacebulimba7800]

I’m obsessed. I listen to her everyday. Her lyrics are poetry and insanely accurate ❤

[@esounds1]

You just need to React whole album! It is one of the best pop albums for past 5 years!

[@chelseathompson2796]

You have to check out her other stuff, she's incredible. She is British!

[@darkloverMusic]

You need to check out Raye Tiny Desk NPR performance, one of the greatest live performances. Also definetly check out this canadian moroccan artist FAOUZIA, her voice is so unique and the notes and melodies she picks are so specific to her and play on different scales

[@Doodesque]

Check out her latest single Genesis, live Radio 1 Weekend Dance Mashup, Brit Award Medley, cover of Nina Simone Feeling Good, videos Hard Out Here, Flip a Switch and so much more

[@rs-qo9er]

She is proper south London mate !! Born and bred - She went to the famous Brit School just like Adele, and Amy Winehouse, FKA twigs, Jessie J, Leona Lewis, LOYLE carner - A school that produces stars!!

[@danawrites5960]

Raye is such a good perfomer and singer... I love her songs, her and Hoziermake me feel like im listening to a higher being haha

[@Natori_1999]

Raye is British and The fact that she's only 26 years old is crazy check out her album 21st century blue's and she's been in the industry since she's was 14 years old and wasn't allowed to release any music she was only allowed to write for other artists until she left her label back in 2021 Raye said she's waited 7 years for this and she said shes so happy that she can finally share her voice with the world and she was 25 when left her label please check out more of her live performances definitely check out Raye's mary jane live performance at 2024 montreux festival

[@21stcenturyblues]

I've watched a few reactions to this song, because it is just such a stunner...and I think I might like yours the best! Thank you for that - really enjoyed the little things you picked up on.

[@compuguy71]

This performance absolutely gives me goosebumps! This is one of those songs which gains so much when performed live. I can agree with your mention of it feeling like a Bond theme, and I would also dare say that given the appreciable theatricality it gains live the song also sounds like a spectacular opening number for a musical.

[@dorotawalczyk7394]

Raye is amazing

[@RitaDosSantoswitting]

Raye is absolutely brilliant, great British talent

[@Carmen-do9ci]

PLEASE watch her performance at the Brits Awards. You'll be amazed!!

[@michaelwoolcock5600]

In a sentence, she walked on that stage a rising star and finished the song a legend.

[@SujeevaHewapannage]

Sadly, the high went to Dua Lipa ( love her) but, vocally, Raye is on another level. The, first time I heard her, I thought, yes, she should be the next James Bond vocalist. She, writes what she knows. Her, life. That’s why she’s such an emotional singer.

[@noplace3571]

I've never seen Raye perform without her in-ears falling out so I wouldn't be surprised it that was happening here too 😂

[@poolhallshark]

Very, very good reaction, Ken! Raye is the real deal. And just like @terryellsworth5848 in the comments here, I, too, am a VERY big fan of Angelina Jordan (I miss your reactions to her btw). Raye is undeniable. Authentic. Unaplogetic, yet humble. Extremely charismatic and feminine. Delivering powerful music and lyrics, most of it from her own experiences through her first decade or so in the music industry. A musical gem of the highest valor for sure. Please react more to her, she will blow your socks off. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@tdauk1]

I thought the same about a Bond song...she's amazing!!!!

[@arith618]

We need more of Raye

[@Luana6350]

Great voice❣

[@davidenriquerobles5197]

You need to react her song Worth it from hilson hotel. Its just fabulous!!!

[@saskiawoud5626]

Yes yes yes you have seen it to ........the fuck at the end !!! hahahahaha

[@ajz05]

Ken, you should check out Girish and the chronicles! Girish vocal range is insane.

[@rogue1211]

React to aurora againnn 😊 specifically her live vevo version of a soul with no king

[@JeanetteAlfredsson-e5d]

Listen to Air with Peter Johansson, a swedish singer with success in musicals like Queen the musical in London. He's great!

[@BeckyPoleninja]

The documentary Louis THeroux did with her about her career is amazing, the sexual attacks by "record producers" the threats and bribery is so moving

[@jared_1181]

How have you not reviewed Chris Stapleton on this channel? Please watch his cover of “Nothing compares to you” or “White Horse” please please please!!

[@Ozymandi_as]

Raye is classic but also a little bit gangster. How often do you get a rap scored for full orchestra, only for Etta James to show up taking no prisoners? Hope you'll do more - my personal recommendation is Worth It, from the Dorchester on Park Lane (I think). Its got swing, a great big-band sound and Raye shows off her jazz chops with great style. I think you'll like it a lot. Cheers! 🇬🇧

[@rs-qo9er]

It was sung at London Hilton Hotel Park Lane - Worth it - Raye ! Definitely an amazing performance!

[@andrefelipebelussosoares7601]

came her for Raye but the only thing i can focus is your nice smile lol

[@ingaxnathi]

Brilliant recation! Subscribed! I’ll be learning lot about singers vocal choices watching these. Please react to Chloe x Halle NPR desk performance, the first song. They’re a Grammy nominated sister duo with brilliant harmonies.

[@Apollo05]

Just found your channel. Love your reaction videos so much! I’d love to see you react to Rang-Rahat Fateh Ali Khan It’s a rush!!!

[@samuelchang1349]

PLEASE REACT to Alicia cretti bleeding me dry

[@graceydez6199]

Crazy that you haven’t done the independent artist Ren. Jamie you are sleeping on Ren 😊 Start with Hi Ren ( 36 million views)

[@JeffButera]

She's from south london.

[@Hannari-xt6nr]

Love your channel. I would like to ask one suggestion, i think it would be great to have you react (comment professionally) on more international performances. I have a few suggestions The Korean stage version of "they both reached for the gun" from Chicago. The man's vocals are quite something. 2021 '시카고' 프레스콜 We Both Reached For the Gun 민경아 최재림 Or two of the most beautiful voices of Japan 朝崎郁恵「おぼくり～ええうみ」　ikue asazaki "obokuri～eeumi" and her daughter, Natsukawa Rimi - Shima Uta [ 夏川りみ - 島唄 ] Rimi Natsukawa 花 〜すべての人の心に花を〜 Hana Subete no Hito no Kokoro ni Hana O or the arab singer National Arab Orchestra - Lama Bada Yatathana - Abeer Nehme & UMS Choral Union Or this Chinese singer [官方版]Jane Zhang-The Diva Dance(from the Fifth Element)(張靚穎演繹第五元素神曲) and this Kazakh male singer, the most monumenal of all The best voice in the world. Dimash Kudaibergenov - Opera 2 (2017) Dimash - STRANGER (New Wave / Новая Волна 2021) Dimash - SOS | 2021 or this sing in which it sounds as if the singer can't ever catch his breath Vibhor ने "Breathless" गाके पाया Standing Ovation | Indian Idol Season 10 and finally , he is not foreign, but very exotic in his own amazing way, you HAVE TO make a video about Boy Georges La Barque rendition. These are just suggestions but there are many many more.

[@TheKevinshelton]

British Grammy’s 🤣🤣🤣

[@maureenyates9534]

Could you please check out EZ Mil "Will You". He's Filipino but sings in English in this one.

[@mm0901]

Hi, I’m a new sub, love your reaction videos. I know you usually react to vocals but I watched you react to one of my favorite drummers, Danny Carey, doing Pneuma and I loved it! The video was from 4 years ago so I’m a little late to the party 😅, but I’d love if you could watch (and maybe even react to?) two videos from the Drumeo channel. One is drummer Mike Portnoy learning the drums for Pneuma (insane!) and the other is drummer Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers drumming to a song by 30 Seconds to Mars (trust me, it’s mind blowing 🤯 ) that he has never heard before. Thanks for your videos! 🤘🏻

[@DineoKgatla-f7k]

Please react to im nin'alu ofra haza

[@jamiewilson9280]

Are British Grammys a thing? Or did they just not know about Brit awards?

[@Hundhammer]

There is no such thing as a British GRAMMY, whoever recommended this (probably US-American) got it messed up, he refers to her Brit Awards, and those were 6, not 8 - still more than anyone else, even Adele achieved in one year... - One might say that the Brit Awards are something similar to the GRAMMYs in the US, awards rewarded by the British music business...

[@rs-qo9er]

@@Hundhammer not sure the accuracy but if you search, it says Brit awards are the British equivalent to a Grammy but yes definitely not a British Grammy, a Brit award is a Brit award lol

[@damonkoegh]

No, she purposely tries to keep her British accent while singing, and makes an effort to NOT sound American. She’s spoken about it multiple times over various interviews.

[@jenObu1]

She won 6 .... Brits not Grammys

[@luisballesteros2191]

porfavor!! no analices temas de metal, no es solo la voz lo que suena, el metal son guitarras ,bajo, bateria, voces..te asombras por todo los temas de metal que has subido , es ridiculo

Yes ,,,,,shut up
