Morissette Amon's "Fly Like a Bird" - SINGER REACTS

Morissette Amon’s Cover of Mariah Carey’s "Fly Like a Bird"
This is my reaction, analysis and breakdown of the great & amazing Morissette Amon’s performance of Fly like a bird by Mariah Carey. This great performance that really builds, displays Morissette’s beautiful tone, and lots of great runs and mixed belts. I LOVE this song. For a pop tune it has such a soulful, gospel kind of feel and a really great melody. I am really enjoying the straight tone we are getting, the forward sound, the beautiful mixes towards the end, and of course all the great riffs. This song really gives Mori the opportunity to showcase A LOT of her skills….from a delicate straight tone, to huge belts, to crazy riffs but we still hear some great musicality and very appropriate styling of the melody. I appreciate the tasteful choices and just the way she performed this, glancing at the camera and having fun the whole time.
I am a jazz/R&B vocalist, baritone saxophone player, music educator, and vocal coach local to New Orleans. I have two degrees in jazz/music education and work professionally playing music. Thank you for all the support on these videos! It is such a joy to create educational, entertaining content for you. I’m looking forward to making more reactions, as well as expanding on ways to create educational/music related content for all of you. I’m so grateful for every one of you!

MORISSETTE’S PERFORMANCE OF THIS: • Fly Like A Bird - Mari...

[@Kostly]

Fun fact: the kid on the keys studied music at Berkley and the guy on the bass arranges a lot of Morissette's stuff and the dude on drums is also a professional in Japan and was requested specifically for this performance. All the elements of this were recorded seperately and edited by her husband Dave Lamar. It's really a work of art this one (as well as her entire 2020 catalog...a really amazing year for Morissette and her team).

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Wow thanks for all this!!!! Lots of things I didn’t know

[@himlekmcnutt2764]

Not one reactor or vocal coach has ever covered this performance more comprehensively! Period.

[@jonathanmanuel4396]

your analysis of morisette vocals so detailed and thorough erika you could have been a brain surgeon if you had chosen to years back with your precision hearing and attention to details . you have that angelic singing voice too.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

You’re so sweet. I promise I would make a terrible brain surgeon 😂❤️ but I’m happy to be hear making fun educational videos for you!!!

[@reymondM1569]

Kumusta ka rin Erika? I always wanted to watch your KZbin videos for it is full of learnings. Even though Im not a singer, I still learned things from you that maybe I may use soon. Thank you by the way for reacting this cover of Morissette. She's always been a number for me Have a great day and I'm looking forward for more videos you will make. 🙂

[@WOW-ng8sy]

Really appreciate your detailed breakdown of this performance. It really highlights how Morissette attacked this song. Probably one of the hardest Mariah songs to cover but imo Morissette absolutely hit it out off the park! So much so it definitely deserves more views. Thanks Erika for the honest reaction. 👍👏❤️

[@erikatorresmusic_]

you're so welcome! I love this performance :)

[@elizertolentino1515]

Your great.pls summarize your reaction and analysis.it takes so long . anyway your the best.and you are cute.

[@bennylindo9149]

Great analysis Erika, very detailed and informative. Only experts at their crafts would picked up things that ordinary listeners like me would not even notice and give nice explanations on why they are good. Also, I enjoyed your reaction to Morissette’s another stellar performance, she’s really an exceptional artist. Thank you!

[@erikatorresmusic_]

So happy you enjoyed it :)

[@itsmesweeney]

After reacting to her viral covers, i hope one day you’d go over her originals. Esp her EP signature album. She co wrote it with her husband, Dave. 😊 my favorites by order are Love you still, Will you stay, Mirror, Trophy, Phoenix. Bonus one that’s not on her EP is Naririnig mo ba and undangon tani. Btw i enjoy watching your analysis on her singing. It’s her tone, technique, passion, and confidence that made me a fan of hers. Also she grew up practicing mariah carrey songs. Thank you 🫰🏻

Hi Erika. Thank you for your analysis to this video of why Morissette is such a great singer. This is the first time I heard this song, and her tone has such a relaxing vibe, I really enjoyed her performance. This song definitely showed her exquisite vocal technique, which you precisely described and demonstrated. Keep up the excellent videos!

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Hi Lily!!! I'm surprised this is the first time you've heard this song since I know you like Mariah Carey! Regardless I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, I love this performance and Morissette is so good!! Thanks for coming back :)

[@chadformentera4456]

Awesome analysis of Morissette singing this song. Please react to her musical in stage sessions singing 1) Defying Gravity. 2) She used to be mine. 3) Home. 4) Someone like you. It will blow you away

This is one of the hardest songs to sing ever in the original key!! She nailed the F5 and A5 belts and the whistle notes OMG

[@moriahkelly5757]

BRAVAAA!!! Loveeee the reaction to my favorite Mariah Carey cover of Morissette. She is such a talented lamb, and as a lamb myself I could never be more jealous of her voice. Anyhooo, hope you could react more of her Mariah Carey covers!!! Lovelotsss xoxo #Moriah 💗🙌🏻

[@2blue503]

Hi Erika! Appreciate you taking time to breakdown and analysis this rendition. Mori is really something isn't she. I’ve been a huge fan of hers for years now. Her dynamics and technical skills is amazing. She’s addicting honestly. Since it seems you like Chaka Khan, please check out Gigi De Lana singing Through the Fire. Mori and her are good friends. Another technical singer. She’s “something” as well. I'm you'll like her too. Thanks.😊

Thank you for another deep analysis/reaction of Morisette's cover, we are learning a lot from you, you noticed little details that we non-singer don't. That was awesome! She recently released a cover of Bruno Mars evolution, hoping one of this day you'll share your thoughts and analyze it too. Have a great weekend.^_^

Very detailed dissection of Mori's version of Fly like a Bird. More reactions on her pls. In a previous comment of mine, you should check out Darryl Ong- he's a RB singer and he does collabs with other singers like Morisette, Kyla, Budakhel, etc. Notable covers are "Weak", "You are the Reason", "One Sweet Day" and "Ordinary People".

[@viliamebuadromo3672]

Ms Erica..you are Epicly amazing..THAT WAS FIRE. Love your work and keep reacting to this silky smooth, melted chocolate voiced friendly Alien. It's always a blessing to hear Mori. When you just contemplate that there are No Autotunes and its Live...Lost for words. Much love from the Fiji Islands

I like reactors who really analyze everything they've watched and reviewed. And, that is you Erika than others who just sit and say hi and finish it shortly after their reactions.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Thank you ❤️

[@richardfranz3180]

Love your breakdown of Queen Mori. This cover really cemented her talent for me. Could you give us one of the new Ariel in the live action "Little Mermaid". Her name is Halle Bailey. I know their are pirated scenes out there from the upcoming release. Would love your opinion.

[@rhajhapetman]

Great reaction and analysis. You found a Filipino artist gem in Morissette and you’ll for sure be introduced to a lot more great Filipino artists very soon. But I think you should first check out Morissette’s other half when it comes to great vocals, Gigi De Lana who’s also very versatile and I think you’ll like her choice of music as she does have a couple of jazz and soul songs, like through the fire, better days, and fly me to the moon. You’ll be hooked 😉

[@CiaraITB]

I already know this is gonna be a banger!🔥 Hope all is well with you. I see you growing out here! Also COME THROUGH VOCALS Erikaaaaaa

I love your analysis, Erika. Very nice! Morissette for real is an extraordinary singer.

Big thumbs up for sharing your expert knowledge with us.

I love your detailed and honest analysis. From and altogether different topic, is there a way that you could reverse the video so that we see left on the left and right on the right? The first clue is the words on your shirt are backwards. I feel certain it's possible with today's incredible video editors. It's not a deal breaker because I love the way you show your depth of knowledge without being pretentious. Morissette, of course, is great, the sky's the limit for her. Thanks for all you do. Keep it up!
