[@tylerhackner9731]

One of my favorite voices of this generation

[@Rosannasfriend]

Just so you know, faouzia has a new song that just came out on friday. It's her best song in years to me. She's finally back to what makes us love her, unique music that shows off her unique voice.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

@@Rosannasfriend Good to know! I will keep an ear out in case she comes out with a live version

[@noone----]

​​@@jessicasopranonotesshe will!! not sure when but it will come some day🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@coralieemma9901]

@@jessicasopranonotes the live version is out on her channel now 😁

[@Thiccems69]

@@Rosannasfriendtalk for yourself, her other music, that is „pop like“ is also insanely good, being only niche is not gonna help her.

[@m363k4]

Arabic is the second hardest language in the world as it has soooooo much words and letters it’s the most expressive language as it holds soo much emotions

[@boaserpent]

A few notes: - Ya Layli Ya Layli: means Oh My Night, Oh My Night: is a popular "warm up" / intro used in arabic classics. Faouzia dropped the "Oh" in the beginning. Both versions are used. - Ghzalti: is the female form of my sweetheart/loved one, while ghzali is the male form of my sweetheart/loved one.

[@sarahj3589]

Very well explained!

[@aniki12345]

so informatives 👍🏻

[@lailanis1]

Lyrics is Ghzali not Ghzalti, not sure where that T came from, it's not silent or anything, هادي مدة و أنا نحوس على غزالي Hadi modda wa na n'hawwass ala ghzali It's been a while since I've vern looking for my beauty

[@1818kitten]

You NEED to react to her new live performance of fur Elise!! I am really curious to hear your reaction and comments on her style and runs! I love hearing your perspective and analysis! Hope you’re well

[@DanielRaa]

As an Arab I must say girl you’re great you got good ears as we say in my culture

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Thank you!

[@iyyaded]

okay gotta explain you something about the "ghzalti" she didn't pronounce the t because in arabic we have feminine and masculine differences in the same words , and the original singer is a male singer he says Ghzalti which translates into my beauty (a woman) faouzia is a female and straight so she automatically sings is Ghzali which means the same thing but ( a man ) hope that helps 🤍 also a note that the dialect for this song is called Darija which the Arabic dialect we speak in North Africa

[@jessicasopranonotes]

That is a big help, thank you!

[@modallas2]

@@jessicasopranonotes This explanation offered above is actually missing a few more important details. In Arabic, the masculine form is commonly used to refer to the female (beloved). Doing so has the subtle effect of denoting who has the power over who in that relationship. She has the power over him. In the original Sting song, it is indeed pronounced "ghazalti" (feminine form of the word). I would argue that using the feminine form has nothing to do with common practice in Arabic in such situations (where referring to the female beloeved in the masculine form would be far more common) but rather may have to do with the particulars of Algerian Arabic, or simply a judgement call on behalf of the Algerian artist who might have thought "ghazalti" sounds phonetically better in the song. Hope it helps! And you and your channel are amazing! Cheers!

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

Faouzia is amazing. She has one of the most clear and open voices and her ability to perform the quick note changes is incredible. Thank you so much Jessica for this great job you have done. A big hug

[@jeff.howard]

So nice to see you do another Faouzia reaction after all this time! Have you seen her new single "Fur Elise" that came out two days ago? I think you would really appreciate it but it's not live...yet...if you'd be willing to do more Faouzia live performances I think you'd really enjoy her Amazon Live performances!

[@luvSA511]

It's really good.. Fur Elise

[@stalwartfree8746]

Yees ! Fur Elise is just beyond beautiful

[@jeff.howard]

she just released a Live performance of Fur Elise that's right up your alley!

[@Rosannasfriend]

This was an incredible analysis. You definitely noticed things I hadn’t noticed before as somebody who has watched that video thousands of times.

[@BrianTheRedbeard]

I am not sure - but so far I remember sting (the original writer of the song) was very impressed by the desert and the beauty as he visit Algeria - and wrote the song in collab with an famous Algerian Singer Cheb Mami - who sang and wrote the Arabic part

[@miltron]

Your videos, Jess, are like a university level class in music appreciation. You catch the nuances, and are able to explain what is happening musically to a wide audience. Your passion for beautiful music is contagious and eloquently presented.❤

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Wow, thank you! 🤗

@@BrianTheRedbeardand made it better, as she should 💅🏽

[@blackcat6508]

The live performance was crazy, just wow

[@itzel1735]

At her Detroit concert, she had some technical difficulties. I think with the in-ear track. Rather than interrupt the flow, she pulled out the in-ear, and conferred briefly with the keyboard player. She sang “Desert Rose” without any track, without a microphone and with accompaniment on keyboard only. A bit rough to start, but she caught up and sang it with power and conviction, and charmed the audience of 200.

[@BobTheSnail759]

As somebody who has NO music knowledge whatsoever, watching videos like this blows my mind even more when I'm reminded that Faouzia has never had vocal coaching lessons. I've already been listening to her songs and following her work for about 3 and a half years, but I'm still completely mesmerised by her voice.

[@nawalita4837]

Missed your reactions to faouzia ❤

[@toooldtodie]

Sting was accompanied by Cheb Mami in this song, but Faouzia is able to combine herself two worlds in a spectacular way, I mean the West and the East. Btw, great reaction.

[@sarahj3589]

A Faouzia analysis yaayy! Thenk you

[@coralesangiovannibattistastezz]

I love Faouzia ❤❤❤ kisses from Italy 😘😘😘

I love Faouzia's voice, she just release a new song call FUR ELISE classical music.

[@ahmednaim1017]

The beginning was in arabic... In all this song she use quarter tone that only in arabic songs exist. Plus she use fast run... The original song was a duo with Sting and an algerien singer... Laili is one word in arabic that's means my knight ... Hadi mouda touila means it makes a long Time... Stay safe

Welcome back We missed ur reactions to faouzia

[@BruceMcKay-gq8yq]

Faouzia is pretty great, love her, but you know what, your voice is pretty perfect as well.

[@robertarrington4907]

When you were discussing the lyric repetition with melodic variations my mind connected almost immediately with your idea of the multitude of questions that would arise upon encountering a rose in the middle of the desert and I wondered if the melodic variations on the same lyric might have been, if not completely but perhaps partly, a means of communicating that state of mental/emotional sensory assault. Fouzia's voice is exceptional and so was the effort you put forward in doing this analysis. Truly a remarkable job, Jess.

[@billyabrahams4715]

Great reaction to our girl Faouzia. Please react to Faouzia singing in French Ne Me Quitte Pas and Beethoven Fur Elise.

*Layli,* it means (oh my night)

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

Since this month is Holy Week, I'm going to take advantage of this video to recommend again to Jessica Camilo Sesto's presentation of the theme song of the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar. I think it is the right time to remember this record, because it has been 54 years since the original album came out, 51 years since the movie was released and 49 years since Camilo Sesto took it to the stages of Madrid. I think it is appropriate to remember it because surely many of Jessica's followers are too young to know this music, and the truth is that I think it is very important to fill those gaps in the knowledge of many, because without those previous works, I think there would be no music today. Regardless of all that, it's a great song and a spectacular presentation, that's why I want to recommend Jessica to listen to it and analyze it (there's a lot to comment on that presentation). As I said a thousand times, a big hug and we will be here to support your work, you deserve not only 100K subscribers, but many, many more. Uyyyy, I forgot, the link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYW0opqkl7ZklZY

[@FB711_]

Oh, thats an absolute GEM!

[@hazeleyeartist]

Fur Elise live performance next!

[@LiquinnCopeland-qx7xm]

She is amazing WoW !!!!

[@baxiry.]

The Arabic words in this song are very few. But they are poetic words that carry a lot of emotional feelings. They are many in Arabic poems and songs. In the first song: "ya lily, oh lily, ya lily " Meaning: Oh my night.. The longing person who is far from his love feels the feelings of his pain, his love far away from him... during the night, when everything is quiet, memories come and haunt his imagination and arouse his longing and pain... so he calls out in pain: “ya lily ya lily” And in the middle of the song: It is a very famous word in Arabic songs. "aman aman aman" it means : peace peace peace or : I hope for peace, and I sing for peace.

[@marienassim]

love how passionate u are

[@lowmanhau3196]

OMG, this is the live performance that I recommended before. I'm so glad you reacted to it. I always learn a lot from your analysis, thank you! ❤

She’s a vocal beast, power and melisma is literally unmatched

[@yahiaaly7575]

Great reaction and analysis as always!! Plesse react to her new single Fur Elise 🙏

[@citizenterra]

"Layly" mean my night "ya" is a calling like saying "oh" the order can be changed traditionally, in classical Arabic singing it is often used as a warm up before the song starts. She changed ghazalti from the original song to ghazali. The word means Deer 🦌 but is also a way of saying my love. The original singer was male singing about looking for his female love "ghazalti" she is a female singing about finding her male love "ghazali" Its like spanish were words have male/female suffixes Arabic music especially classical style follows a different set of scales called Makam/maqqam look it up its super interesting

[@BrunoSousa-sk7pb]

I love your detailed analyses, thank you! Please react to the new Fur Elise song from Faouzia.

[@soigios9760]

Check out her new single Fur Elise, inspired by Beethoven’s masterpiece. It’s her first song from upcoming debut album.

[@abdoeljouti6350]

You nailed the pronunciation! You are doing a great job explaining the vocal techniques of singing in one of the hardest languages in the world. I legitimately clapped when you sang, "Hadi moda twila" You are awesome and it's not ignorant to try to learn by drawing on your background knoweldege of other languages you know. Love ya

[@jessicasopranonotes]

[@bomp1555]

I loove how you think, the fact that you truly analyze every little detail is why we're here, thank you for being so professional

[@Rene_Moor3095]

Dorota Osińska is a master of sound jumping on the scale too (I don't know what it is called professionally). Her scale is amazing. Her control is unreal. I suggest you watch how she sang the song "Je t'aime" by Lara Fabian in the program The Voice of Poland: 💖💖💖The Voice of Poland - Dorota Osińska - "Je t'aime💖💖💖 Let the recommendation be a post by someone under the video of Dorota's performance written in French "On m'avait dit elle chante mieux que Lara, j'ai cru à une blague, mais elle déchire" => eng. “I'd been told that she sings better than Lara, so I thought it was a joke, but she kicks ass!” I want to add that Dorota is a blind person who sang this song without knowing French. Dorota is an example of a person with great talent who, as a result of many reasons, has unfortunately not had the career that a person with such talent deserves. I also recommend seeing her first performance on The Voice of Poland. The video has English subtitles: 🧡🧡🧡The Voice of Poland - Dorota Osińska „Calling You" with English subtitles🧡🧡🧡

Please, check this song sining by Majd Akrut, Russian Voice 12, last season, 2024 year. He is arab from Tunisia, he studies Medicine at the University in Ryazan city, it is not so far away from Moscow. His voice is magical. Majd is a winner of "Voice, Kids" in Tunisia. Majd is sinning "Desert Rose" in Arabian language and English. And his version of the song is definitely worth to listen to! Thanks❤

[@johnnyreaidy3229]

as a fellow Arab, I would be happy to teach the language to anyone who would love to learn it

[@ra3dbadr]

As an Moroccan Arab let me clarify the lyrics a little bit for you guys.☺️ She did begging with #layli.. but in Arabic sometimes singers escape #ya but later on they play #ya for so long like #yaaaaaaaa then they add #ya_layli which is mean ( oh my night ) oh here is for calling. Like if my name Carlos you gonna call me ya Carlos take this apple .. ya for take attention.. For ghazali and #ghazalti in Arabic are the same the diference is ( ghazali : masculin / while ghazalti is female ) while she is a female singer she choose #ghazalti ..(ghazali = gazelle) Hadi moda Twila ( it’s been a long time) But #hadi means ( this) .. That’s why Arabic is the hardest language even for us we the Arabs. Please react to her new song ( fire elise live version please )

Desert Rose was originally a song by British musician Sting, featuring Algerian raï singer Cheb Mami. If you want to hear from the man's mouth what the song is about, here it is : kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3WxmYaqjc2KgK8si=Xq3WAl1AAWJS4f85

To me, this version of Faouzia singing Desert Rose is so much better, more powerful, more emotional, less rehearsed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp-oiIJrnJt5iqMfeature=shared

[@GarageStudio7]

This performance is more emotive and her voice sounds more powerful however she utilizes even more vocal agility plus a lighter approach in the other performance (the tiktok performance).

The Piano is too loud. She's perfect.

hhhhh don't overthink the lyrics, they're somewhat wrong

You can't try to read Arabic words using English alphabets.. it's too hard. There are way too many missing sounds and consonants.

[@omarbeldjouzi3854]

this is actually not the arabic LANGUAGE it's an rabic DIALECT (ALGERIAN) , and Algeria is located next to Morocco so the dialects are pretty much alike, you can find the original version it's called ( STING and CHEB MAMI - Desert rose )

No autotune.... You probably mean reverb but it's mostly the resonance of her voice.

@@GarageStudio7 It is autotuned.

@@sahinberg It isn't...it's a raw live performance. There's no autotune in the mic...nor is there autotune in any post-processing.
