Professional Singer Reaction & Vocal ANALYSIS for Disturbed | "Don't Tell Me (feat. Ann Wilson)"

[@PeterBarber]

Absolutely phenomenal -- loved hearing and analyzing this for the first time! What else from Disturbed should I check out?

[@allenellett1678]

Hold on to Memories, and A Reason to Fight are outstanding!

[@tritontransport]

Ann did good but I saw Moriah Formica sing this on the tour a few days ago and thought she did even better I will try to put up a link of my video if you want to check out her vocals kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5eVooiYhNR-jpIsi=ySFj3_0c8F6APEkh

[@k.wilkie3814]

I actually think you should check out Ann Wilson's band Heart on a song or two. If you prefer hard rock/metal try "Barracuda" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpawp4CEpdt1a68) or if you prefer something more like this Disturbed song try "Alone" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3TaYqGdbJp-hpI).

[@k.wilkie3814]

A great Disturbed heavy rocker that is somewhat melodic is The Vengeful One (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp-6XnyGp9-AZ8k).

[@sarmstrong941]

A reason to fight, down with the sickness, or stupify

[@tdkleffman]

It is sooo hard to believe that Ann is in her early 70s, she sounds phenomenal!!

[@7wren]

Ann Wilson with Heart - one of the best female rock voices ever.

[@jenniferlandry5767]

I’m not the biggest metal fan by any means, but there is something about Disturbed that just gets me. Adding Ann Wilson to the mix is genius. If you ever want to react to Ann showing just how much of a powerhouse she is, do check out the live video of Stairway to Heaven that Heart did at the Kennedy Center Honors for Led Zeppelin. It is truly epic.

Second this! It's amazing from start to finish

[@marybrant9586]

💯

[@JustDiane71]

Agree!!!!

[@racheldepuew2514]

You’ve got to go and listen to Ann Wilson’s earlier music with Heart. She sings much lower now. She used to hit these amazing, piercing belts. Check out barracuda, magic man, or crazy on you. She’s a hell of a vocalist!

[@JustDiane71]

I'd love to hear Peter's opinons on any of those songs you mentioned! I saw Heart back in the 80's, was amazing!

[@christinaalgate4899]

ANN ROCKS AT 73

[@TessT101]

Just discovered your channel...I agree with much of these comments. Must watch Ann's 70s singing. 70s Heart is absolutely magical.

[@neo3871]

Ann Wilson is one of top 3 female Rock singers of all time.

[@gmanprime500]

Reading feat Ann Wilson totally didnt click until she came in and Im like OH CRAP HEART!

[@rayofsunshine72cz]

David and Ann are amazing together. I Wish for more their duets. 👏👏👏

[@suemoore6445]

Love, love your reaction to this Peter! I’ve loved this since the album was released in fall ‘22. This video was just released, because it is truly art! I appreciated this in-depth analysis! Really helps to appreciate it even more. Dan Donegan the lead guitarist/keyboardist came up with the concept after going through a painful divorce. He brought it to Draiman and soon they realized they needed a female counterpart voice to tell the other half of the story. Ann and Disturbed have a mutual admiration and Ann indicated she’d love to collaborate with them sometime. She was the only one he would agree to do it with. Ironically he also went through a painful divorce last year. You can see it on his face and hear it in his voice!

[@dorothyrosenberg1301]

Okay, I’ll admit it: this video analysis has convinced me to add a second heavy metal performer to my subscription list. This performance was incredible! Thank you for making me appreciate its complexity and exceptional execution.

[@pedroteran5885]

You might enjoy Leprous - Castaway Angels.

[@vickybolsby9153]

Luv this duet! Ann has been belting out tunes since the 70s with the band Heart which also has her sister Nancy. She has a amazing well trained voice! Disturbed bringing her in is an amazing idea! Luv the song. Great reaction!!

[@shopninja6732]

Nice reaction and analysis. Their voices are amazing together!

[@stephanieshoupp5027]

During the 4 years they recorded Divisive, two of the band members' marriages broke down. Drummer Mike Wengren got divorced early in the pandemic and guitarist Dan Donegan went through a split in early 2022. This song is about a disintegrating relationship where each party struggles with letting go. It was inspired by the ending of Donegan's marriage. "That was a really personal one for me," Dan Donegan told Billboard. "During COVID-19, I was going through a divorce after 18 years of marriage. Part of that divorce process is that there was still a great deal of love we have for each other, and we couldn't imagine our lives without each other. Just that letting go, letting somebody go that you still love, but maybe the marriage just might not be working anymore... It was touching on that. It was just very personal." Donegan came up with the concept, then wrote the lyrics with Disturbed singer David Draiman. "I threw a few lines at him, and he took the ball and ran with it." Donegan said. Then Feb 2023 David Draimen also got divorced. You can really hear the pain in his voice.

[@k.wilkie3814]

Great analysis. I love both of these singers and for years have said David Draiman and Ann Wilson are the gold standard for male and female hard rock singers. Never thought I'd see them collaborate. The song and vocal performances are great, and the video images just add an extra layer of depth to the song. Really enjoyed your comments as well. Keep up the good work. I hope you'll do some additional videos to both Disturbed and Ann Wilson's band Heart.

[@GryLi]

I love his tone and he has mad vocal skils. Ann is Magic

[@Melly01]

If you like the style that's less heavy from Disturbed, try "The Light"; "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" (cover of Sting's song); "Hold Onto Memories"; "A Reason To Fight" (the official music video since your focus is solely the vocal analysis.) They really have some gorgeous songs with deep messages. And David's spectacular vocals, of course.

[@mindywiese7610]

Love this!!! Missed when it came out. Thank you Peter.

[@MagicMomma]

I love that I learn something new with each video!

[@susanberry2649]

I learn so much about all aspects of a performance which opens my listening skill and appreciation 💕

[@EllaSilentDragon]

I enjoyed your analysis (and the live stream) very much! Thank you! ☺️❤ Both of their voices sound so perfect together. 🥰

[@VirginiaBarber-nv9hj]

Thank you for sharing your expertise! Interesting music.

[@keydemoore]

Disturbingly haunting music. Great choice Mr. Barber

[@andresmoreno8762]

so beautifull amazing the best disturbed david phenomenal 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Dawn54811]

Love hearing your reaction and analysis. Helps me understand why I’m enjoying (or not) what I’m listening to. Like this song.

[@Painofdemise]

Such a great duet from them. You should check out some of Ann's stuff from Heart.

[@jasonmcmillan6598]

13:52- this is when you connected to the song and it touched your heart

[@melanezoe]

Love Disturbed’s music, and appreciate your analysis. As an aside, before I watch your analysis of the duet between Placido Domingo and Dimash, I recommend that you check out Professor Georgievsky’s comments on the piece. He fills in the background of the performance as well as of Bizet’s opera. Looking forward to it.

[@jacob3716]

You should do some reactions to Ann in Heart, she’s amazing! And her voice when younger has crazy high belts.

[@annevoss4302]

again thank you for pointing out the great points in this music

[@WhateverDeluxe2012]

Peter, what I know about vocal dynamics is dangerous! BUT I love listening to your analysis and learning from it. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. It's definitely broadened my musical horizons.

[@kristinbrantley9075]

Thank you for sharing your joy.

[@clfoster82]

The true music video did just drop recently, yes. But the song and visualization video with lyrics has been up like a year.

[@nitroh7745]

React to dimash the pear fishers duet him actually singing opera!

[@вероникаиванова-в3в]

Привет, Питер! Обожаем Дэвида, Дистерб, Энн и тебя! Храни всех господь!🥰😍😘💋💖🧡💘💞❣💙👍👍👍🥀🌷🪴💐

[@Eileen_in_Vegas]

Awesome R&A, as always. My kids introduced me to Disturbed and they're starting to grow on me.

[@nrsvlda70]

Great reaction, thank-you! These two artists are the best of the best! You might enjoy reacting to Ann (and Nancy’s) tribute to Led Zep Stairway to Heaven - their live performance at the Kennedy Center 2016. It would also be great to hear you react/review Queen/Freddie Mercury’s epic Bohemian Rhapsody. Their use of multi-tracking ‘back in the day’ using tape and multiple takes.

[@SleepyheadJJC]

Thanks 😊

[@buggyman95]

David draiman is my favourite vocalist ever

[@kathymchugh689]

So good

[@arturama8581]

Peter, Dimash has done The Pearl Fishers’ Duet: Au fond du Temple Saint with Placido Domingo at V4+ 2023, which has now been released on YT. Reaction?

[@KerryNelsonART]

Thank you for this great react-analysis, Peter! I really enjoyed it! I'm a Disturbed one since their Sound of Silence cover. Learned to love and appreciate heavier music because of them. May I suggest a couple more from Disturbed? *The Light *Remember 😊

[@shirleyanneyoung955]

Thanks, I really enjoyed this. I disagreed with your analysis of Sound of Silence, probably my bad, but this was so good.

[@TheOriginalDavidBrock]

Good as akways sir! May I say that I hope that you take a look at 20 year old Diana Ankudinova singing her new song live in a duet with the songs composer Brandon Stone. "The Day You..." duet New Years. You won't believe how much she has improved! Be well, do well, and smile more often. It looks good on you!

[@-music-is-art-]

I definitely like seeing more rock on your channel. Maybe ONE OK ROCK would be nice pick...? They have a really great vocalist too.

[@kathleenlacher3964]

What voice range would you use to describe David's voice? I believe a baritone would have a difficult time with the high notes, and a 1st tenor would have trouble with the low notes, e.g. the beginning of "Sound of Silence". A 2nd tenor? Maybe he does not fit into one voice range?

[@terezastastna941]

❤

[@kriknut1]

I'm waiting for this, but I also wait for you to react to Dimash and Placido Domingo singing the Pearl Fisher's aria. Please 🙏

[@EllaSilentDragon]

This! ❤️

[@hearingninja]

As far as I know Peter’s videos are recorded far in advance (several weeks/months maybe), if he records a reaction to the duet right now it wouldn’t come out for quite a while anyway

[@solomonbeshersehappy]

Bro if you wanna geek out watching someone playing guitar you should watch Roy Clark play malagueña.

[@wolferussell2016]

I love your analysis videos they are always so informative, you should definitely react to peyton parrish jörmungandr or fenrir off of his skalds of metal album

[@BobBobby-j4g]

Please please please do tom balls bgt final i who have nothing

[@HelenGriffith-hv3fy]

🙂

[@morewood4267]

Wow bro ur amazing. U relay information well. Great analysis
