[@dinagiann9163]

i instantly realised this idk why people judge her so much it is obvious she has talent and she is cable she was just emotional which is expected

[@heidibaltom8138]

I was waiting for someone else to say this. I have seen people say she is emotionless and I always point them to that, Its an emotional song and she has said she was a fan before so she knows what the song meant to Chester and she probably has some attatchment to it herself.

[@alaia-awakened]

I’m insanely impressed with how she picked herself up after the voice cracks. With the unimaginable pressure on her, knowing millions are watching and actively judging every note. She gathered herself, stayed out of her head, and picked it back up for the rest of the set. INCREDIBLE!!

[@glenmcl]

After what time? She cracked on every song the entire hour. Listen to the whole gig before you comment or be quiet.

[@CASEMSTR]

A combo of really trying to push at the start, the emotions of seeing fans for the first time, and just simply being hard as notes to hit in the first place. She did a spectacular job, and I am excited for the new stuff to come out

Finally someone competent did a reaction and analysis to this. This video alone just supresses all the haters around this. Thank you Chris, people just don't understand how good she is.

[@Nitoria.]

Shame that haters usually don't watch such stuff

[@OLBarbok]

@@Nitoria.Being labeled a "hater" is unfair simply because I don't share every opinion of a KZbinr I usually agree with, even if they are knowledgeable and enjoy the subject. To me, her voice still seems weak and often doesn't match the melody. It's possible to acknowledge something as good while not personally enjoying it, particularly in the realm of art. Her voice may also not appeal to many, as evidenced by the criticism received. Doesn't mean we have to fight a war over it.

[@Bickiiification]

[@michaelgreiner1665]

Exactly !

[@zaxanq]

@@Bickiiification No, he's not. Personally I am really glad of LP reunion and Emily joining the band, but the amount of hate is incredible. At least @OLBarbok has some arguments, his opinion makes sense. I get it - he's not liking this, maybe forever, maybe for now. But not everyone who dislikes this is a hater. Only those who'll say "she's bad", "they shouldn't come back", "it's awful" and end on that (or more criticism).

[@Re4dix]

This was so refreshing. So refreshing to hear those comments on her singing, the techniques, the voice cracks. For everyone else, voice crack = she can't sing. Your perception of Emily getting emotional during Waiting For The End, taking into consideration the stress and everything. The whole video is just spot on. Love Emily, love your analysis of this performance. Thank you.

[@LostP250187]

I couldn’t agree more. It’s soo depressing to hear people talking in that negative way, instantly dismissing her. While she did such an amazing job and has incredible talent. She fits into the band and the ‘linkin park sound’ so well. I loved Chris’ take on it in this video, perfectly spot on.

[@fallinginthed33p]

I dare any fan who grew up with LP to not be emotional if they're called up to sing with the band, on one of their most emotionally searing songs, after the death of their frontman. Waiting for the End is a damn hard song to listen to, given the circumstances.

[@Surokkh]

Hats off to Emily. Imagine the pressure of going up to the stage for such a band. For the *first time* . After *everything* . I get shakes when performing with an underground band for a 100 people. But this? She delivered so hard that the few imperfections are completely justified, and more power to her for pushing through!

[@williamvaughn-em5rp]

Exactly, can you imagine her insides and thoughts, like from a small band to one of the top bands in the world new LP. Congrats to Emily and the band for their choice. I need 10-15 more years of them!

[@ANiCKiN]

[@wesley6442]

hearing her speak on stage and during the interview I love her cocky and confident attitude, I think she's pretty cool and a great fit, she's got a fire and intensity in her and strong desire to undertake this monumental challenge

[@martadymek]

I was in that audience and it was an incredibly powerful and healing experience for me. I will cherish that memory for the rest of my life. Right after the concert, I actually thought to myself "I can't wait for Chris Liepe to react to this show". So thanks for making the video! Awesome, as always. I knew you'd appreciate that she got choked up during "Waiting for the End". I actually tend to get choked up when I sing that song by myself, not to mention with a bunch of LP fans. Needless to say, I sobbed the happiest tears during most of that show, haha.

I love they did it without pitch correction, and hope they will continue like that. I hate perfection during life, it has no soul. I love when artist is missing notes, because they sound so real like that.

[@GreenFuryFM]

Exactly! If someone want to hear a perfect version of a song, play it on Spotify, from CD, etc.

[@iurigrang]

I feel like there was pitch correction? At the very least on mike when he was harmonizing with her. Pitch correction doesn’t really work well with fry distorted vocals like hers, so it couldn’t be on all the time for her (also, you can hear she going out of tune in these parts), she may or may not have had pitch correction when harmonizing, but mike for sure did. Not only he sounds too in tune, but his voice sounds snappy.

Chris, thanks, it was your analysis that I was waiting for. I really liked Emily's performance, but unknowingly because I couldn't explain the reason why. She's really awesome and very professional. I can't even imagine how psychologically difficult it was for her to stand on that stage and sing those songs. But she made it through, and those happy faces of Mike and Emily made my heart beat harder. I'm looking forward to the new album and the new live shows.

[@The_Trinity_]

Anyone hating on Emily or the band needs to fully watch this video. Excellent explanations as to why she was chosen and how she fits the band well.

[@chrisklema9992]

She did great "covers" of their old work, but I can only imagine how great she'll sound with a whole catalogue of songs built around her voice, and we know Mike can do just that.

[@chrisliepe]

Exactly. I can’t wait!

[@TobiasDahs]

Crazy how people are critical of Emily's little hiccups during the show and at the same time deny Chester ever had these. To make it clear: Chester is one of the greatest singers to ever grace this planet, but he had moments where he wasn't in full control or sounded very forced or off in live shows. And that's nothing to be ashamed of, these songs are freaking hard and i can only imagine how hard it must be to doing that for 60 minutes plus on stage. For Emily honestly i think it was mostly being emotional and overwhelmed. And honestly in those moments i immediately started to feel like she was the right fit. How boring would it have been if they had hired one of the cover band singers, who would have more or less tried to be a clone of Chester and gone through the motions. This had the feeling of a real band, with real emotions and a live show that is spontaneous and embraces that. That's why Linkin Park stood out - they were and are in this lineup a modern band with that real old school feeling of a liveshow, where anything can happen. Perfection can be really boring in my opinion, this was exciting.

[@RedCapBlock]

I agree with what you said. Also, Chester himself said that Crawling was hell to perform. That's why they stopped playing the full band version and switched to a simple acoustic piano ballad variant of it. The mere fact that she was able to do the OG version her own way is something I respect.

[@ccdsds3221]

When did Chester have multiple voice crack other than that once time performing infront of 500 000+ people in Germany???

[@TobiasDahs]

@@ccdsds3221 I never talked about voice cracks .... I talked about Chester not always being on point, which is just human and understandable. Just to counter people who are giving Emily a hard time because of a few mistakes, while at the same time pretending that Chester was a god who never sang a wrong note. There are plenty of examples out there on KZbin .... Again, not trying to deny Chester's greatness, just pointing out he was human too

[@RedCapBlock]

@@TobiasDahs this. Chester himself said that he couldn't do some of the songs the same way anymore because his age and health got to him at some point later in their career.

[@kblackbeard6]

@@michaeljames1337She was in a band before, sure, but she likely was a huge fan of LP well before she ever considered the prospect of being in it. The emotional weight of losing Chester being reopened in a lot of ways, the emotional weight of wondering if you can fill his shoes not only technically but also in the eyes of the fan base. There’s a ton of emotional layers to all of this, and if you’ve ever done vocal work before you would know how much vocalists will utilize emotion to achieve certain sounds, tones, and moods in their work. For her to have a few hiccups in a blind live show in which she officially appears as the vocalist singing alongside Mike where Chester was is perfectly understandable, and you can’t claim to know what it’s like to be in that position, all you’ve been able to do is just decide that she should have been able to handle it and dismiss her performance out of hand. Rather than judge her, if you’re a fan maybe support her. She isn’t there by accident, the band made this decision as a group, they clearly have spent enough time to write an album, and they must see or feel something that has informed them this is right. If you don’t trust her, trust Mike and Dave and Brad and Joe.

The thing I'm most excited about this show for is that the stream itself sounded SO ROUGH in terms of mix.

This had the feeling of a memorial service in a way for Chester.

[@wall-e7726]

I don't understand anything about musical techniques and loved your analysis. You were the only one noticing she was emotional. I noticed that too and didn't find a single youtuber commenting on it so far. It does still sound like Linkin Park even without Chester, it's amazing. Mike did a phenomenal job by choosing her. He was very happy through all the concert. Amazing.

[@lyzz]

Yes i was hoping to see you react to this, i was sobbing during the livestream, couldn't be happier lp is finally back, i started getting into the band just before chester passed away so now I'm really looking forward to seeing them live

[@chankhavu]

Instant subscribe. Best analysis on the new LP vocalist out there

[@jessehutchings]

Every singer cracks sometimes it's really not a big deal if it's rare. If anything it's great because she's not faking anything, it's 100% authentic

[@JohnDoe-ds6pr]

Emily must have been interacting with the Chris Liepe vocal course, because looking back at her previous works, she has definitely had singing lessons, and performed vocal exercises to enhance her abilities.

[@katbert100]

Great commentary! Giving so much insight, thanks a lot!

[@vosoryan]

Her grit sounds similar to the type of distortion that m shadows has started using over the last year or 2. At least to my ear. I have no idea what kind of distortion that would be but sounds great

[@brandondolan4234]

Was thinking this too

[@bellabliss1860]

man i appreciate your vocal breakdowns so much, it really helps me understand how to keep my own voice together when singing but also allows me to appreciate the full dynamics of other vocalists. i loved emily's performance and i'm really looking forward to seeing what else she has to offer.

[@keullytiffany7758]

Loved your analysis and just subscribed. And loved seeing the comments too. Glad to see more people thought she sounded great!! LP was part of my teenage years and i hadn't listen to it in a while. It was such a nice surprise, so emotional. I felt 13 again.

[@bellantemazrigos]

Smiled all the way through this. Just so cool, so happy :) This is the best vocal coach reaction video ever as well, man, straight to subscribing :)

[@brittanyloch6703]

She really needs to watch your reaction! So many voices of criticism around her, she absolutely needs a voice of someone who actually understands how good she sings and GETS when she has any "fuck ups" as so many others continue to say. I also think she did an EXCELLENT job especially with how incredibly difficult it must've been for her to step into such a massive band with a massive fan base, and to get on that stage in front of the whole world!

[@bawzzzz]

She really nailed some of those long songs, she’s a great fit

No, she didn't.

When she screams lying my way from you...is beautiful.

[@BrianMagnan]

I've watched your channel a lot over the years and I think everyone should see your analysis on her voice. Lots of people not realizing how talented she is.

[@rickardmoller7824]

Get Emily over to your channel and breaking down her technique. Love her voice.

[@chrisliepe]

That would be amazing

[@JustGerryNow]

She was apparently getting emotional and that's where those hiccups happened, which makes a lot of sense! That show had to be HEAVY. Especially during Waiting For The End? She's amazing.

[@SarahsVeganSpace]

I loved this. This show was so emotional. As true Linkin Park fan from the first minute, it was like coming home. Linkin Park always nailed how the different elements of music compliment each other. Finding another vocalist to compliment the songs this awesomely and still having her own unique technique that is not the same as Chester, is another testament why Linkin Park is one of the best bands ever!!

[@evooke7070]

This is a REALLY helpful video to watch someone who know's what they're talking about explain why her voice sounds like it does even during the times when we(us) think she doesn't sound great.

[@jitsemiedema7423]

Thank you for helping LP introduce her to me in a proper way. I love her

[@wesley6442]

Love you videos, Chris your energy and excitement and genuine compassion for music and singers is infectious haha! In regards to my opinion on the new singer, I think she's awesome and as a vocalist myself (still learning fry screams) who has played a live show before with my own metal two man band, I feel she still needs a little more practice I mean granted she had only 8 months to get up to speed on everything that is my honest unfiltered opinion, some songs she really kicked ass and others you could tell she struggled but as she spends more time and practice and finding her voice and gaining better control she'll become a master and I am already thoroughly impressed by her, she's a great addition to LP glad to have her on. I played a live show not long ago and I thought myself a Master at my own singing style, I use compression style singing and I have it down pact but I didn't even consider warming up before the show and talked a lot before getting up on stage and to my surprise my voice actually cracked once during the first song and I was like "no way.." lol it felt a little embarrassing, especially since my music is dark, serious and brutal so I felt kinda silly but I don't think anyone noticed because of the wall of sounds and hey, no one's perfect haha but I had a great time, so whenever I see other singers and performers on stage I get so giddy and vicariously excited because I know the excitement and rush of getting up stage and capturing everyone's attention in the moment.. it's an amazing feeling! we even had a mosh pit going on which was so badass haha seeing this live performance makes me want to get up there again, it's such a blast

[@gomilopez1]

Thank you so much for taking this nonbiased and showing some love to her! Let's enjoy this new chapter all together! This insights have helped me a ton! I've been trying your fry turorials and this insights and reactions are perfect!

[@J0Nramirez]

She did wonderful. I'm so excited for the album!!

[@SaberOW]

Her cleans are absolutely phenomenal Edit: Also funnily enough she actually has a song with Dead Sara, 'violent' that kind of mimics the 'shut up' from one step closer. Not as intense but probably why she's able to do it so well.

[@ryanmattie974]

The chorus for What I've Done gives me chills.

[@snlarini99]

So much to say but firstly thank YOU for this heartfelt realistic analysis (not ignorant and/or opinionated). So much hate in the comments. Of course she's a pro singer (not a newbie or an amateur) and she is singing/screaming in so many different ways without a break! I can't even comprehead the pressure and stress she was under to do somebody else's music (not her own!) justice. I preferred the song they created together, probably because they're is no comparison, and I can't wait to hear what they've been cooking. Can't wait.

[@bobolson7610]

Bravo. "Wonderful tone, wonderful disposition to her voice"

[@shaunholford5537]

Watched this too many times to count and Chris you nailed every aspect of this. I personally feel she was amazing and even though it was the original stuff she put her own twist on it and made it her own. Especially in Crawling when she sang/screamed reaaaaaaaoooooollllll!

[@alesjelovcan6810]

I'm not even into LP but the way you break down what is going on here is making me tear up, especially after all I learned and explored of my own voice with this channel. Thanks for everything Chris!

[@CABOOSE_hello]

I just found your channel and I really love how deep you get into the music in these videos and how you give these impromptu lessons that can really make me feel like I CAN sing like these great singers if I just try :) Thank you for the content! It lifts my spirit to see you upload 💙

[@EricStrong-vs2he]

cant wait to hear her take on 'given up' . love the performance. great breakdown

[@JohnDoe-ds6pr]

The poor girl was under tremendous pressure to come up with the goods. She was emotional, probably had a frog in her throat, She had to stop, or pass to the crowd several times, but Mike wasnt worried. He knows Emily has the good. Mike was also very timid for the first few songs....before finally loosening up. And lets not forget this is live. The album is going to sound great when it's released in November!

[@ledooni]

Your take on all the different aspects of her performance perfectly reflect my impression. They really give her voice and her emotional style of singing room to shine and it sometimes does sound rough which is exactly what makes it great. It even somewhat shows in the studio version of the new single and I wish more bands were doing that. Kinda reminds me of the best Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace times. Really hoping to get tickets for the LP show in Hamburg or for more shows to be announced for next year. Thanks for covering this, Chris! 🙌

[@D.T.V.M.]

I d'ont know sh*t about vocalist but after watching this i feel i learned somethings new, thank you Chris and god thank LP is back on track after 7 years!

[@Petteriks]

I get goosebumps from her voice.. that doesn't happen often at all 🩵

[@Klapp_Spaten]

I missed the Lost part in this video, she actually showed how perfect shes gonna be even for the more "ballad" heavy songs like Shadow of the day or Leave out all the rest in case they wanna perform them.

[@TheOfficialDuBsTeC]

I like how you also went into "explaining" the imperfections I really felt heartbroken on the Livestream and got mad when people wrote like "wtf.. oh no.. stop.." etc If you REALLY watched it as you said and listened you KNOW its not because "shes weak or cant do it" but its just the moment.. the crowd.. or the Emotion (big time here).. Love your stuff keep it going. :)
