Regina Spektor - "Patron Saint" captured in The Live Room

[@songkick]

We can assure you that Regina's voice has not been manipulated with auto-tune or any other pitch correcting software in her Live Room performances. Make sure you're watching in full HD for the best audio quality.

[@jenw7289]

The Warner Sound those that think so are as dumb as Trump.

[@Shmoonify]

at 3:00 and the look the drummer gives her and the smile... that moment there is magical

[@kashyapvariyani4037]

Shmoonify came here to find a comment about this!

[@TheKaprys]

Ok, all the songs she does in this session sounds too fucking amazing. o_o

[@RaiMidori]

How often does hearing a song live make you actually like it MORE?!? Oh, Regina...

[@Anatis66]

How can you be so talented and so pretty

[@sfield86]

Noobs haven't ever heard a perfect singer before. Regina is flawless. And yes, if you can imagine, at some point she has to goto a recording studio so they can record her albums :O Saw her in concert last year, and had chills the entire concert...she's so good.

[@spepper]

bullshit. This is Regina, she does not need autotune, Her voice is like that. See her live or in the many, many videos of her studio/live performances in youtube. Pure Regina.

[@Taniere]

I'm obsessed with this song.

[@ryand394]

3:08 That smile.

[@sergeypec5100]

She sings live perfectly!

[@rileyz2448]

it makes me sick to think this woman is not everyone's idle! this woman is the most talented i have ever come across and i want nothing more to get inside her head and see what makes her so freaking genius!

[@AGU5T1N94]

I like the old songs and the new ones too. they are just different, Regina it's an amazing performer and singer. Stop complaining about she becoming mainstream or not in all the videos!

[@emmemem]

I can watch this all day

[@nalanan]

Sounds similar to the live version I have of her from years ago... ReSpekt is awesome and always will be!

[@jumicri8076]

Regina is the best singer

[@theeboss93]

Saw here yesterday at Outside lands , she is amazing

[@gr8eyemdead2]

I saw her live about a month ago... Amazing voice. No auto-tuning needed.

[@meeeeels]

insanely talented… beautiful performance.. love this song

[@francygreen]

Shivers at 2:29. Love tour style and your voice Regina!

[@d4ny36]

3:00 to 3:03 brings chills down my spine every time... :D Lovely!!! Saludos desde Mexico!

[@kylamariebacarra6470]

This is now one of my favoriteeeee Regina spektor performance liveee!! 😍 And her great range and beautifullll voiceeee waaaahhh she doesn't need any auto tune though. :)

[@RimaChan024]

I saw her live last week :) She's absolutely perfect.

[@2thefullest32]

Shame on you for saying Regina's voice sounds awful. Either way it sounds fine! Try full HD. The Warner Sound did a great job, at least they took the damn time to make the video and quite honestly the quality is great! Thanks guys for showing this stunning performance of the beautiful Regina!

[@lLauraD]

This is really great Regina

[@kpacubo.]

i love her songs too much

[@SmoSte]

oh yeah, love this song!

[@jvollnogel]

She is a genius! Love everything she's ever done!

[@RodrigoZavala]

Bella, mágica, gigante. ¡Bravo, Regina!

[@soudemaisgata]

I think i'm in love!

[@joeching4186]

lovely voice

[@deliciousweirdo]

fuck yeah.

[@EverythingMe15]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!

[@gaetmars]

Ke artista....bellissima e brava. I love you Regina!!

[@yelicethorozco1865]

No me canso de escuchar esta canción una y otra vez. Es hermosa.

[@HCaulfield115]

sounds amazing as usual

[@dht2005]

If you think this song is auto-tuned/pitch-corrected: you are simply mistaking Regina's extremely fast vocal trills for manipulated sound. I know it sounds similar, but consider this: 1) If you're familiar with her music, you know the trills I'm talking about. They're everywhere. 2) Ever seen her play live? Regina has perfect (or near-perfect) pitch. She doesn't need auto-tune 3) Do you really think she would let someone manipulate her voice like that? Maybe I'm naive but I believe WarnerSound

[@Graykalinichenko]

Люблю ваше творчество

[@musicalsunite]

I can`t believe anyone could think her voice has any trace of correction...stuff...whatever it may be that they typically use.... Go see her live, she sounds better than any recording...and she has absolutely no need for any pitch correction, it could never do her justice, she`s THAT amazing :)

[@stepanyac]

her voice obviously wasn't corrected because you can still hear the mistakes. at around 2:30 she kind of messed up. but no big deal cos she nailed the big notes. NAILED IT @2:59!!!

[@kurtfreund7857]

Wow.

[@LanaDelGayyylmao]

Wow that's the same cellist from her Soundstage performance in 2016! She must be nice to work with.

Her voice sounds normal to me, perfect as always

[@Sportygirl0404]

all her music reminds me of alice and wonderland! It's lovely :)

[@s13e]

soo fuckin perfect!!

[@robertaxel]

Notice she plays most of this with her eyes closed..

[@matchboxmessiah]

That's cause she uses a different style in the studio so she doesn't overpower the mic and blow it out. When live she uses more of her full voice and isn't afraid to belt. Listen to 11:11, Songs and Soviet Kitsch for examples. On later albums (Begin to Hope, Far) she used more of a softer tone, holding back her belting power for a softer, more commercially pleasant tone. Since this is live, she's not holding herself back. Hence why she sounds different here. It's more of her full-voice.

[@haui82]

Great :)

[@TheHigginbo14]

Everyone, stop complaining. Her voice is not pitch-corrected. That winding, autotune sound that you hear at certain parts is just one of her vocal tricks. Listen to the studio version, or any other live version for that matter. Sounds the same.

[@timmis1971]

Sounds fine on my system, don't know what the negative comments are about!!

[@TheRealDavlion]

If it's auto-correcting and/or auto tune, why is it not used at :00 - 34 ? especially when she sings the "she's the kind of girl who'll fracture her mind, till it's light." She is flat when she sings "mind" so, obviously there is no auto tune.

[@MoiraRussell]

You have obviously never heard this woman sing live.

[@yelicethorozco7643]

She's the kind of girl Who'll smash herself down In the night She's the kind of girl Who'll fracture her mind Till it's light She'll break her own Heart And you Know That she'll break your heart too So darling, let go of her hand She's been skipping days Spilling her drinks in the sink And you know She never coming home Never coming home A-Again But when, when, when She open her eyes, eyes, eyes Beyond the Chipping paint through the windowpane Lies, lies, lies Her patron saint Broken and lame And absolutely insane For learning That true love Exists So darling, let go of her hand Let go of her hand Let go of her hand Let go of her hand Let go of her hand Let go of her hand Let go of her hand You'll be to blame For playing this game And learning That true love Exists She's the kind of girl Who'll smash herself down In the night She the kind of girl Who'll fracture her mind Till it's light She'll break her own heart And you Know That she'll break your heart too So darling, let go of her hand Darling, let go of her hand You'll Be to blame For Playing this game And learning That true love Exists Broken and lame And knowing That true love Exists The pain, the pain, the pain Of knowing That true love Exists Doo, doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo Doo, doo-doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo Ah-da-da, ah-ah Ah-da-da, ah-ah

[@RUTHLOOKING4BOAZ]

can you prove without a doubt there is no such thing of true love; i guess it depends on your definition to; cause ive seen cases where people are old and still love eachother very much my dad and stepmom being one of them and been married along time; my pastor and his wife being another still having that glow in their eyes for one another

[@alicepotter777]

OMG OMG OMG 9-13-12 OMG OMG OMG

[@MrMattyKetchup]

yeah it's not pitch corrected... of course people complain about Regina executing a perfect performance bc i guess they think it's not possible to be that perfect? i don't even understand the parts people are referencing, her voice sounds incredibly natural to me, that's kind of the point of a live sessions studio recording. and i'm not an amateur, if it was pitch corrected i would be all over that rightfully pissed. but it's not.

[@DataDenierBoy]

Ignorance is bliss, I suppose. If you don't hear the correction then by all means enjoy the show. For the people wondering where you can hear the correction the most, listen to the first chorus when she sings "absolutely insane" for the first time. It has nothing to do with compression. We aren't saying that Regina doesn't have a great voice, we're just pointing out the fact that some bozo thought it would be a good idea to try to correct it in the first place.

[@zakth3elf]

Guys it's just a chorus effect or something else. It's not pitch correcting.. -.-

[@spepper]

likewise

[@spepper]

don't know what is worse... "Man never landed the moon" conspirationists or these "Regina uses autotune" conspirationists

[@kashiao]

Call me deaf, but where in the recording is it corrected?

[@tinkerwithstuff]

That aside, her voice here does not have the slightest hint at being auto-tuned. There is no dynamic compromise, and you can hear all sorts of vocal ornaments she is doing. Some half deafs may mistake that for autotune artifacts - get to the ear doctor quick or listen to more proper music with people who can at least sort of sing!

[@AlessioFois]

Who’s the drummer? He reminds me Morgan Ågren

[@nokmn0t]

Im watching 0:31 in 480p. the "who fracture her mind" part is pretty much out of tune. Besides that, I love her music so much, which is perfect in its own sense

[@starprincess66]

does anyone have an analysis of this song?

[@LeaF-vo2mx]

I know I'm late, but maybe ur still looking :-) check songmeanings.com

[@lcf4164]

Don't get me wrong here, I abolutely love Regina, but it truly does sound altered. This is what it sounds like when you overlay or apply a pitch corrector. It was the first thing I noticed. It is blatantly obvious; you can hear the occasional jerks that signify pitch correction in the vocal track (an example would be at 0:32 on the word 'mind').

[@thorbre577]

She hit a flat note, that's what that was, not pitch correction, lol.

[@PCDisciple]

Nooo she missed a note D: I love this performance though

[@Kighla]

If the sound of this video bugs people just listen to a different live recording, lol

[@TonytheCapeGuy]

Listen to about 30 more Regina songs and you autotune nuts will understand. :P

[@islemjskTheOne]

hmmmmmmmkay

[@lowlymusic]

Im a drummer....i want to play with regina spektor so bad.......and then trick her into loving me...then i will marry her.....then we'll make it official.....oh yeah....that be a great treat for me....not so much for her :(

[@foxinthemachine]

Her REAL voice has always been like that. I bet you wasn't listening carefully.

[@stepanyac]

she's just better live, deal with it.

[@Sportygirl0404]

shame on you for thinking her voice is corrected at all. It's sounds amazing just like all her other songs.

[@adrian-chambers]

I know this comment is super old, but you can actually hear it in some parts of this recording.

[@anniethesponge]

Yeah whatever filter they put her voice through kind of gets rid of a bit of her regina-ness but it doesn''t sound bad exactly. Just weird that they chose to do that...

[@ComeHereSparrow]

Every note, really. It's less obvious than the popular "autotune" that everyone is used to but it's just as robotic sounding. I don't for once think it was at Regina's request, though. Some producers are just conditioned into "correcting" during the editing process, which is a shame. Ah well, hopefully this fad will pass. It was a good performance though.

[@jameskacmarcik2575]

She loves that shirt, I'm not a big fan of her music or shirt styles. I'm more of a t shirt guy. My fashion sense is a little keener being younger than her I assume. That's like something someone pre 1980 would where and play piano? What a macabre fashionista. I love her I'm just kidding but I think if we hung out we'd get along so well we wouldn't even talk in Russian or English hence why we will never share the same place or breathe the same air. Not because of the politicans or political clout like most might think. Also I'm more a pianist fan.

[@cereyza]

THERE'S NO AUTO-CORRECTING. You just insulted her yourself.

[@islemjskTheOne]

Y U MAK DIS SUG WHEN W SEE FLO RIDA

[@apelsinljuice]

the drums are taking over the sound too much.. i can't understand why they arranged it that way, it just messes with the song. otherwise, the performance is just superb as always!

[@Rickoholic]

+Sophie W Her piano still RULES the band!

[@musicalsunite]

You should get to know better people....

[@tinkerwithstuff]

It's funny (or rather not) how bad their ears must be, since it's quite audible that she sometimes is slightly off key (not horribly). If I bought that nonexisting autotuner I'd want my money back.

[@kaatjemusic]

Her voice has been altered. You can hear the jerky change in pitch that only comes from software manipulation. Regina Spektor doesn't even NEED this - All her other live performances are perfect - actually wait, no, BETTER than this when it's without any assistance. We aren't deaf lol

[@jenw7289]

kaatjemusic moron

[@TheBerkeleyBear]

Yeah i was rather disappointed too. trying to perfect regina's voice is an insult. if anything, it sounds worse

[@ComeHereSparrow]

Shame on you guys for pitch correcting her voice. It sounds awful.

[@ЮлияЮруткина]

boring version. no rrrr, no noises.
