[@samarajoysings]

thank you so much!!!

[@LGnLA]

😮😢Keeeeep it up Beautiful, you sing AMAZING!!! God bless!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@themusicwriter1]

See ya in Austin, in Dec.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

You're so welcome! Looking forward to seeing you live one day! 💛

[@malannacareyhenderson8974]

Ms. Joy You're in the same class as Sarah and Ella. BRAVO

[@malannacareyhenderson8974]

When you sing, the world stops to listen. BRAVO beautiful sister. I am so proud of you.

[@1966zenone]

Ella & Sarah had a conversation with the Creator they sent us Samara. Praises🙏🏾

[@fiomcc8298]

Oh! Yes for sure .. and it’s happening in a way that younger generations can grasp 🎉

[@KajiVocals]

She's actually a classically trained soprano. She has probably the best high C you will hear outside of opera these days (high F is her highest). Effortless in every dynamic. You can find clips her performing Handel coloratura pieces if you search hard enough.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

😱👩🏾‍💻

[@CeliniacForLife]

How do you know she's classically trained? Do you have a source confirming this claim?

[@KajiVocals]

@@CeliniacForLife She’s talked about taking classical voice lessons in her Tiktok comments. I should reiterate it as more of classically training as a soprano, because that training is far from complete.

[@marleneamey6073]

Noor Carey posted her singing opera to “warm up before a gig.”

[@vanessaseymour2634]

She won 2 Grammys that night. One for Best New Artist and the other for Best Jazz Vocal Album.

[@dldmills53]

Watch her singing a cover of Adele’s “Someone like you” on Terrell’s show 😩🙌🏾

[@LGnLA]

🗣😫😥🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯

[@denisewhye1257]

Yes Indeed! 🙌🏼 She did justice to several songs on The Terrell Show! It's a must watch!! She comes from a family of phenomenal gospel singers!! 💖🤗

[@brittneyk0158]

24?!!!! She’s AMAZING! Such an incredible storyteller. She transports you to a place! Voice so full of dept, color and character! WHEW!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Yes, she’s incredible!

[@_shundo_1407]

She actually only learned jazz five years before Grammy even crazier and mind blowing. She went to school and jazz was shown to her and immediately genius and Grammy wow!

[@d.t.artistry]

I absolutely LOVE Samara Joy! She’s phenomenal and is bringing jazz back to the forefront of music.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

I can't wait to hear more from her, she's one of a kind!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Rich and deep. The first thing I said last year is that her voice is mature. I’m glad it’s the first word in your mind too!

[@lightuponlight6727]

Yes! She is amazing.. I got chills.... I immediately thought of the great Sarah Vaughan.

[@denisewhye1257]

Please watch Samara Joy live singing the blues!! 🙌🏽💞🙌🏽 I believe shes in the park and the audience is dancing and loving it!!👌🏼

[@jb-ex6zc]

I'm conflicted. I don't know what I enjoyed more; Samara's incredible performance, or your (Jess's) raw flight of joy and enchantment in reaction to hearing Ms. Joy for the first time, or your insightful analysis of the vocal performance. You are both keepers: Bravo!

[@nellyd9280]

Actually I can hear the classical voice technique from the first time I heard her sing....AND she makes it work for her jazz singing...her middle and lower registers sound so yummy😅

[@feralgrandad4429]

I sware she could sing a shopping list and it would be stunning..............🙂

[@jessicasopranonotes]

I would listen lol

[@abeldiaz3877]

Lol. She would definitely get another Grammy for that.

[@Jsfreedom]

And I would pay for everything on the list, honey! 😂

[@Lorna8264]

She is from a past era. Great

[@MrMorph65]

Girl...... she seems to have the same breathing execution ask Sarah Vaughan. But vocal influences primarily of Ella Fitzgerald. But you can hear all the old grapes in her voice sarah, ella, nancy, etcetera etcetera

[@luminiferous1960]

As the song from "All That Jazz" says "everything old is new again." Case in point, "Can't Get Out Of This Mood" is a 1942 song by Frank Loesser & Jimmy McHugh. While Samara Joy sings this song wonderfully, perhaps the most famous recording of this song was Sarah Vaughan's recording of it accompanied by George Treadwell and His All-Stars, Miles Davis (trumpet), Budd Johnson (tenor), Benny Green (trombone), Tony Scott (clarinet), Jimmy Jones (piano), Billy Taylor, Jr. (bass), J. C. Heard (drums) and Freddie Green (guitar), on Columbia records in 1950. That recording is also on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpCTdImBjqiikKs Samara Joy was the winner of the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition in 2019. She also won the Best Jazz Performance award for her single "Tight" at the 66th Grammy Awards (2024), and Best Jazz Vocal Album and Best New Artist awards for her album "Linger Awhile" at the 65th Grammy Awards (2023). Note that the song "Tight" was written by Betty Carter and was first released by Betty Carter in 1976. Betty Carter's live performance of this song is available on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5_MgWimqat_p80 as is Samara Joy's live performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moq6lXyCZ9qEhMk

[@magnoliaskogen]

Thank you for reacting to her!! This was my first time seeing this performance. She is amaaaazing

[@speedrasa]

Thanks for the excellent breakdown of singing and how Samara creates her art. This was incredibly helpful to understand more about vocals. I agree the Grammies hit it right and that's a great sign for music.

[@chocolateangel8743]

Samara serves vocals and looks. 😍

[@paulapeaks3382]

I love form of singing. I would love to learn how to sing in a jazz style. My all time singer in the world is Ella Fitzgerald. She will be so impressed with her. Love her and she's so very young🎶🎤🎶😘💕👏🏾

[@msudlp]

Samara Joy is phenomenal. I expect her to garner many more grammies.

[@michellemacon9580]

Samara Joy is amazing!! You should also listen to Victory Brinkner. She is a nine year old opera singer. She is really talented. Would love to see what you think about her voice.

[@johnwatson2887]

More Samara, please! PLEASE! Love your reactions and explanations of what makes her singing so special.

[@Rosannasfriend]

I think that hand movement is a good and powerful tool for storytelling. It’s also a good way to keep the audience engaged. I don’t know if there’s anybody who does it too much or looks awkward doing it, but I’ve never seen it as a bad thing. in fact, I think for the most part people who don’t move from would be critiqued. And I think samara Joy, moving her hands, as she should!

[@GoodStuffForeverMore]

Agreed🙌

[@elamothe81]

She sounds like somewhere expensive!

[@cyt8284]

😂

[@Rivkah.Gamble]

Ugh...she's always just so so good!

[@GoodStuffForeverMore]

Her performance is amazing! Can't wait to see your response💖

[@1EustaciaF]

Please go and listen to Sarah Vaughan. She is doing exactly what the greats of Jazz were doing, at that time. She has also taken a lot of notes from Ella Fitzgerald. And let me also add that she is copying the phrasing of a horn, which is where the inflections and nuances are coming from. All jazz singers attempt to imitate horns, it is custom and the norm for this genre. And if not, it is supposed to be. That's how the Greats did it. If you are interested in hearing sounds of imitation of horn phrasing, please also listen to Louis Armstrong. Not only did he play the horn, as his principal instrument, but he also sung horn phrasing, which made Jazz scatting and singing more popular, in his time. He is known as the Ambassador of Jazz of America.

[@paulaguerrero9981]

Christmas in June? Is that a christmas decor behind her? Well, I love your reactions and I love Samara Joy...we need more of this music! Thanks ❤

[@user-pw6ib7rk2b]

I’ve been waiting over 40 years for a jazz singer who could sound like Sarah Vaughan without her vocal gymnastics.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love her

[@joelleneker1259]

Beautiful voice. Wow! I gotta listen to more of her

[@Robert_Herring]

Such an exciting voice. It will only get better with time.

[@jillianarnold441]

Did you know Samara Joy sings opera too. I saw a video of her.

[@crystalbrown2621]

Thanks for your assessment ❤

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Always welcome 💛

[@paulapeaks3382]

Check out her earlier performances please

[@Ty1on3twelve]

Great analysis. At the 17:31 ... 17:32 mark Samara Joy looks back at the piano player (I think) and he stops playing. At that point, do you think that was rehearsed that so the piano player would stop or they piano player would stop and then she would stop singing. That was a nice touch.

[@mem3769]

First off I am no professional. I have sung in choirs and done shows. Lots of times the director or the singer give a hand or nod as notify a change in key, tempo, volume or ending the song. She could have rehearsed that with the band. I only heard of Joy yesterday. I have not seen any whole song performances. I usually listen to music with and without singers so i dont get to see the signals for changes in the song. They already knew by the lyrics, it was the last sentence of the song. When she decided to end it she let them know. At 11:23 she turned around and let them know she was changing keys. That may not have been her regular band. The piano player doesnt look like the guy in the shorts that I saw yesterday that had locks. That may be why she gave such a drastic demonstration as to turn so far around to signal the band. Actually, they may have worked with her within the day or two for the first time. I will be checking her out a lot more now.

[@paulkossak7761]

Man you can hear the influence of Ella Fitzgerald. She's amazing.

[@maccuoiqua69]

Can you please react to Lara Fabian singing La Traviata? I'd love to see that!

[@Rosannasfriend]

She’s relatively new, and she has blown up!

[@Pierre50mm]

Samara is the next jazz super star singer.

[@sandihunt]

You should hear her sing oprea

[@KajiVocals]

She was sick there and under the weather. This is ironically probably one of her weakest performances of this. Which says a lot.

[@abeldiaz3877]

I know it's gonna be a great performance when you make a face that seems like you're smelling rotten potatoes.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

😂
