A great reaction about a beautiful performance. At the end, your analysis on the production of the vowel sounds by each singer, given her particular background, was really brilliant.

I've recommended this to many reactors, but I've never seen anyone bite and do it. Congrats to whoever led you to this. It's a great piece to analyze. Just the pure guts to do that LONG solo at the head (very close to A capella)... And in front of a very savvy crowd. It's gorgeous. Ben Folds is a Pop Singer and Composer (like Sara), but with a very esoterric background (including classical). Bringing him into the NSO for a guest leadership period (I forget how long) was a stunt, but it gave both parties good press and led to performances like this. Recommendation: Go look for Sara's performances on the "Live From Here" stage show (the channel got renamed "Radio Heartland" for some reason). All of her work there is great but "Someone Who Loves Me" is a good place to start. Also on that same channel? ANYTHING from Rachael Price, but especialky "Take It With Me". That's one of the most moving performances I've ever seen.

I loved your breakdown of this gorgeous song, but honestly, I could listen to you discuss the finer points of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and still be amazed at the depth of your knowledge.

Poor Ben Folds. I don't blame people for not knowing, but he had a very successful career as an alt rock singer/song writer in Ben Folds Five. People of a certain generation will easily recognize him and his voice. Very cool that he has a presence in the classical world. Love to see talented people find ways to reinvent themselves as the years go by.

Heard Sara in concert at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Extraordinary intonation for the entire concert!

You have the most interesting analysis on youtube! :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with us 💙 I would love to see what your think of Faouzia's newest live version of Fur Elise... You won't regret it! 😏

Sara’s pitch is perfect to the original song on the album Edit: the song on the album is so close to this performance. The symphony arrangement is new here. She’s definitely a different type of pop writer. And she did write this song-Ben Folds produced her entire EP. And it’s about her losing her childhood. I just love her nuanced writing, whether it’s for a pop album or a musical (Waitress). Thank you for such a detailed reaction-I learned quite a bit! ❤

I know sara wrote the lyrics and melody for this one but it sounds much different on the record and very different from her other performances of the song. I really like this version, I think Ben Folds added a lot

One of my favorite Sara Bareilles songs is "Gravity."

Love this reaction. I was thinking of your reactions when I was rewatching the Cynthia Erivo video of the song Alfie at the Kennedy Center in honor of Dione Warwick. She has classical training, musical theater/acting chops, and is steeped in the music of blues and jazz. I think she used skills from all these genre to bring off an amazing performance. I think you would like it.

Btw, Sara is doing another concert at the Kennedy Center this fall to be filmed by PBS. Again this is with the NSO and all 3 shows are sold out. I’d LOVE to hear what you think of how Sara’s voice and technique have changed. Plus her version of She Used To Be Mine is awe inspiring. When I saw her in concert in 2018-no one made a sound until she bowed her head at the end of the song. You could hear a pin drop. It was very moving. Thank you again for your valuable insight !🙏🏼💕

great reaction. don't sleep on caroline shaw! partita is probably her most famous piece-and a reaction would be really insightful (extended techniques involved), but the way she sings "by and by" (available here on youtube) is really interesting to me. i would call it unpretentious, but trained singing but you may see it differently.
