Every time I listen to Halo I get goosebumps

[@m2duebbie]

Isn't LP just phenominal? Her vocal control while she swoops and climbs and belts and whispers is extraordinary. She is a unique bluesy, jazzy, poppy one of a kind.

[@abbyedsall6619]

Her parents were opera singers and she writes her own original songs too so my thoughts are: she had a unique voice and a unique opportunity to use her parent’s expertise to train it to be the absolute best. Not to say that she didn’t figure some stuff out for herself along the way, but knowing how breath and vocal chords work could only benefit her in this mastery (wizardry).

[@mallinen0777]

She also whistles like there is no tomorrow. Unique.

[@iamlpinthe312]

This was heavenly to watch! LP is both a singer and songwriter , having written for Cher, Rihanna, Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion and more. LP is absolutely phenomenal and her vibrato is part of what makes her uniquely so. Her mother was an opera singer. LP recalls a time when she was in the car with her mom and singing along to the radio and her mom turned the volume down and asked “ Is that You?!” She sang in choir and her vibrato carried even then. She’s from New York and sang in clubs there before moving to LA. After SXSW in 2006 there was a bidding war for her and she signed with DefJam. This performance was for an EP Into The Wild: Live From the East West studios. It is one of my favorite recordings. She’s very well known overseas and in South America. Unfortunately she has not been promoted well in the States and so she’s not as well known AS SHE SHOULD BE! . I just saw her do a show in Chicago before Lolla and she was just amazing. I would recommend anything Live. Some of her best known songs are Lost On You, When We’re High, Someday, Into The Wild, Strange, Switchblade, Levitator. My personal favorite is Forever For Now. Along with an amazing vibrato and vocal control LP is also known for her impressive whistling. I simply LOVE her. This was incredible to watch. Thank You 🙏

[@milu9099]

Thank you! Now I don't have to write anything... ;)

[@ENTITEA]

Just saw her live for the first time headlining Edgefest, Wy. She was incredible, so talented and she performs with such contagious joy. She is amazing.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

so cool her mom was an opera singer! I agree, her vibrato sets her apart

[@kimberbee5]

@@ENTITEA I’m hopefully going to see her in April, I’ve been watching live performances to prepare. I’m glad they’re amazing live

[@livinginla200]

I saw her in person in SoCal a few years ago. I felt like the luckiest person in the world. As I understand it Beyoncé made Halo famous but it belongs to LP, no? No matter. I haven’t ever felt about an artist as I feel about LP. She warms my heart!

[@bradenemil8687]

I love how you do actual deep analysis. Not just on technique and saying whether it’s good or not. You break down even the smallest changing of a vowel and tell us how it stood out to you and what it did for the performance. I love your attention to detail in these videos it’s exceptional.

[@igit7745]

True. Out of all the dozens of "vocal coaches" I've seen here in YT, her analysis is definitely one of the best (if not the best).

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Thank you! That is very appreciated!

[@amandajarboe1131]

Because both you and LP share operatic background, it was a delight to get a knowledgeable walk through her toolbox! Her voice is changing the world!

[@sanctuary70]

LP'S Mom was an opera singer,but died when LP eas a teenager. But o be honest LP admits in a video that covers her career for 20 yrs. that she take opera voice lessons and is trained , but she didn't want to sing opera. LP is also an extremely prolific songwriter for quite prominent singers like "The Back Street Boys,". She she was aloud kid so she sang alot. I believe having those strong wind-FILLED lungs are the trick. I saw LP years ago on I think it was a PBS Program like "Austin City Limits," with her famous ukele & i loved her style immediately. I too ,as a singer ,songwriter. guitar player myself & professional recording artist , but although I was discovered by Columbia Records/Sony Music,and quit a few top producers, but i DID NOT want a manager. I enjoyed doing gigs with top musicians in ll kinds of venues. My favorite singer - ANNIE LENNOX the Soul Sister from Aberdeen who ARETHA sang WITH & that says something. But I also love Joni Mitchell, LP, SINEAD O'Connor, NATALIE MERCHANT, BILLIE HOLIDAY (of course)and the late DOLORES O'RIORDON. May i recommend an addictive song by LP? " LOST ON YOU" LP IS LP!🎶💖

[@chriscarson2540]

Recently discovered and fell in love with LP. I loved hearing your expert analysis of her vocal abilities, and you are cute as a button (British term) and your enthusiasm (and knowledge) is infectious! Thank you.

[@leotrevino5158]

49 years years old and just now finding LP, couldn't be happier to find such a TALENT and your reaction was so in dept and insightful, thank you!!

[@VeryCherryCherry]

I like Beyoncé version, but LP's version makes my face hurt from smiling and my heart burst with joy. Truly. It's an entirely different song when LP does it.

[@Anthea13]

The song IS originally from Laura Pergolizzi

[@lauramarziano1182]

​@Anthea13 LP is an amazing and prolific songwriter but she did not write this song. Halo was written by Ryan Tedder and Evan Bogart, not LP.

[@chrislangfeld8690]

@@lauramarziano1182 thanks for this info. at least i know the facts, but to me lp IS halo

[@thetorresons297]

I love the way you described LP’s voice as having a “shimmer”…..🥰

[@wendylandry4252]

I have never seen a bad reaction on LP. It doesn't matter who it is, no one can anything negative about her. Simply amazing artist

[@Zasu42]

Brilliant. I'm glad someone analyzed this performance. Actually one could write a 10 or 20 page essay on vocal technique, filming and editing choices, stage presence, incredible use of dynamics (tension/release) and so much more. Cheers.

[@ShelleyV]

WOWZA Lady, Love your reaction❣️ I’ve loved LP for a very long time, first met her when she has a band called Lionfish✨ the song “Maybe the rain” gets me every time!!! Please listen to “Muddy Waters” she takes me to church with this, the down by the River kind of church! I so love your reaction & breakdown of this incredible song, my ultimate favorite! I had studied Bel Canto for 11 years & it’s such an amazing technique that can be applied to any style of music. You remind me of my voice teacher who was amazing! She would get so excited at the good, bad & the ugly parts of every performance, it was all a teachable moment & would explain how to make everything better! Honestly every single song of LP’s original & covers move me, do a deep dive & don’t come up for air😜 I’ve subscribed to your channel & excited to see more, thank you for your excitement & knowledge, would love to hear you sing too❣️

[@siras174]

Your feelings about the way LP sings the word "had" (08:05)... I'm 90% sure it's because of LP looking directly in the camera while singing that part. Your soul feels stared at.

[@jenbueno]

This is the kind of reaction that teaches a lot! Your way of analyzing her phrasing is so refreshing. Love it.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Thank you! 😃

[@jorgefelixdiazgomez1371]

With all due respect, Halo was composed by LP for Biyoncé, in fact LP is the owner of this song who sold it to the label.

[@harem5]

LP IS FREAKING AWESOME

[@nikolnikol6460]

Yeeeees !!!!!! I .I always knew (and know😊) that Laura is a real creator of this masterpiece ❤❤❤

[@chrislangfeld8690]

i never KNEW this, but somehow i suspected it. if true, beyonce was handed a treasure!!!

[@nikolnikol6460]

@@chrislangfeld8690 I think Laura sold ,,,,,Halo,,,,, for a much higher price then regular !!! Therefore Beyonce could credited this as her own ! ,,,Halo ,,,, is like a necklace made of the most beautiful diamonds - and this is Laura's trade mark 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@chrislangfeld8690]

@@nikolnikol6460 🤥according to wikipedia, halo was written by Ryan Tedder and Evan Bogart. while lp may not have written it she breathed life into every note & lyric, & hearing HER version touches my sould & gives me chills!!!

[@LetsChillPage]

In fact I follow her since the first day she outed the "Lost On You" video clip and it's only today that I realize there's something of Édith Piaf in her way to roll "r", in her vibrato. I understand just now why latin people are as sensitive, as receptive to LP and I with them! :)

[@smoothblink]

I can't count how many times I've watched this video. Invaluable! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@tymoz6026]

Oh my God, listening to LP does me in and watching and listening to you on top? Whew. I didn't want this video to end. Pleeeeeaaassseee do more LP videos!!

[@cindypage8673]

LP is an incredible artist, you just have to listen to all of her music. She is an amazing writer/ singer, I don't think you will be disappointed. I did enjoy this breakdown and explanation x

[@mischa1981]

LP is just phenomenal. She makes it look so easy and has full voice control. I totally fell in love with "Lost on You", that song catches you from the first second. I know so many songs that need their time to get used to but LP catches you immediately. Just WOW! I wonder why she remains so unknown. At least here in Germany near to nobody knows her.

[@chrislangfeld8690]

ditto here in austin, tx!!! SOME (lucky) people know her, but the masses are woefully ignorant of this amazing talent!!! why isn't the media playing her music???

[@missymother]

Seems like LP song Lost on you is all over tiktok now

[@martao...7563]

It's really strange. I live in northwestern Poland. Close to the German border. 6-7 years ago her "Lost on you" was literally everywhere. On the street, on the radio, in cars, in stores.... Everywhere for practically the whole summer.... The next songs were also heard, although not as much as "Lost on you".

[@suvijii841]

I teared up at the end. The "second climax" is what makes this cover for me. I wish I could be that much in love one more time.

[@ladygothic7699]

I love that she went into the audience. Love her

[@mariselabarrera432]

How much do I love this newly discovered treasure of the artist that is LP? Enough to watch these deep analysis’ even though I’m not a singer, artist or have the slightest education of music. I’m just here for it. ❤️👏🏼❤️🤩💕

[@Librarianchica1204]

I love your forensic analysis of her voice and her performance. It's the best trip watching someone experience LP for the first time and your knowledge was amazing. Thank you!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Glad you enjoyed, Alma!

[@Lola-89]

She’s absolutely amazing and her voice is stunning and I’m such a huge fan of hers and should react to more of hers like when we’re high , one last time and goodbye and the one that you love

[@jessicasopranonotes]

There will definitely be more to come in the future!

[@pglover64]

Now that is a performance!

[@Slimie]

LP is really good at whistling too! Not the Mariah Carey one, but Im not sure if she can do that too

[@SkuIIKn1ght]

She is incredible, once in a lifetime talent for sure.

Love love love this video, best reaction to an LP song (or any song) that I've ever seen, can't wait to watch more of your videos. I also loved that you singled out Nick Rosen (the bassist) I really hope to see you react to her singing some of her own songs. I was about to type out a lengthy bio for LP, but the short version is that after some false starts she ended up writing songs for other people for quite a while (Cher, Backstreet Boys, Christina, Rhianna etc) Here's a video about her finding her way back to being an artist again: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ-5dmuXhresisU and here's a video of her singing Black Dog by Led Zeppelin kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXamY5uippeUock with the house band at Bardot (Nick Rosen was the band leader there)
