Vocal Coach Reaction & Analysis - Yebba - My Mind

www.rnbsinging...

[@harleyadam4813]

I love when a vocal coach listens to something a singer does and replies *after trying to replicate the run* with "Not really. That needs a lot of work. Ha-ha." She's an absolutely RIDICULOUS vocalist. The emotional impact of this song is so incredibly powerful. I'm reduced to tears every time I watch her during this performance. It obviously means so much to her and she is quite obviously on the verge of tears through the entire performance. This performance alone could be a masterclass.

[@RnBSingingLessons]

😂😂👌

[@nickrivera354]

I thought it was funny when you said "it's like she has a PhD, this song is a phd" She went to one of the most prestigious music colleges in the United States for 4 years. Belmont school for music in Nashville, Tennessee. We grew up in the same town and even used to make her sing at parties back in high school. Always knew she was going to be big after school! Abbey is the best!

[@cynthiastarling3106]

Understand that it's meant to sound like a cry, lament.

[@melissamorton1655]

Isn't it incredible when your classmates go on to do HUGE things? My classmate is currently residing in the international space station. Lol #vicarious

[@autumnferguson856]

She’s possibly THE most powerful singer technically & emotionality wise that I have ever, ever heard.

[@ayandaradu3465]

She can hit very high notes and where her voice trailed off was a reflction of the vulnerability and rawness of her pain. Beautiful song and amazing singer. 👌👌👌

[@ErrickJackson]

Growing up on gospel music, I've heard a lot of those longer runs often. They're quite common, but to hear it from someone so young... It really shows her gospel background and the control she has is chilling.

[@willowtufts9821]

Errick Jackson her control absolutely ruins me

[@stephenspero3201]

Errick Jackson Gospel runs are a dime a dozen and kinda old but this? Pure emotion. One vocalist one guitar. 2 mics. No auto tune, overdubbed, multi looped, drum machine driven cacophony of crap that is presented as a stage show disguised as music! This is the REAL DEAL Reminds me of the purity of music during the 50s, 60's and 70s. I could listen to this on a loop just like 8 tracks back in the day. Peace,, love and hope.

[@stephenspero3201]

Willow Tufts Oh me too! Wow!

[@jerrie2u]

The pain is just there, she's most definately pulling from a real place, it's not just in her voice it's in her facial expressions and body language, this is a personal peak in too her pain. I love her...she's like Adele on steroids! 💖 Her melisma in her hum alone will take out!

[@erinmoriarity4775]

Watching your reaction was like reliving my own reaction. I, too, kept saying "Oh My God", and stopping and replaying the video... it was as if I needed to make sure I actually heard what I had just heard!! Lord in Heaven,, please let us all hear much much more from this angel YEBBA... Namaste from the USA ;)

[@RnBSingingLessons]

😊

[@tonikar8754]

Her mom committed suicide around the time she came out with this song and during this performance she was pregnant with triplets. The emotion she pours into this performance is absolutely beautiful. I cry every time hear this song.

[@treking4563]

Tonika R I don't think that pregnancy part is true

[@Official.tadiwa]

Lmfao yebba isnt and wasnt pregnant she just eats good. Lmfao but the mother part it true. She grew up in a black church which is the result of the way she sounds

[@RnBSingingLessons]

Ah damn black church nice....I grew up with black music haha, no church though. Just obsessed with Wanya Morris and Tank haha

[@tonikar8754]

Maybe it was another performance. When she performed gravity the guy who introduced her said she pregnant with triplets.

[@prmike22]

Tonika R it was clearly a joke and sounds like her type of humor. She’s always joking around on social media!

[@micahjones821]

Did anybody else get triggered when he kept pausing it seconds before she started preachin!!!!

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

SOOOO TRIGGERED!

[@tianoandjerry]

seriouslyyyyyy oh my goodness........ all these reaction channels do is talk over, pause, rewind, ruins the truth and value of the performance beginning to end. :/

[@tianoandjerry]

like we just want to see them blessed with Yebba's magic. (before anyone comes for me saying "why watch reactions then?")

[@yongpesa6911]

If you love music, and it's your first time hearing yebba, you'll gonna react like him. This is a reaction video, and this is about music, of course he's appreciating every note. Go back to those who react that just watching the whole video while tearing. Most of them don't know about music, so do you.

[@staceybritt2086]

Yes😩🥴

[@titusthetadig3145]

literally the only "Vocal coach" to actually analyse Yebba - My Mind. And actually really understood every amazing part of her voice. Bruh mean analysis. keep it up

[@RnBSingingLessons]

😊 thank you

[@AnnalisaNutt]

I agree with this! Loved seeing his reaction to all the amazing parts.. which was like, ALL OF IT haha

[@terrygrizz]

Loving your reaction! I know it's 6 years after your reaction/analysis but, for me, her song is so powerful because the techniques she's picked up along the way are supporting the song. The story and emotions are the main focus here.

[@ragtop63]

The note she didn't hit at 6:34 wasn't a mistake. She hits that same note (and higher) in other parts of the song. The way she let it squeak out was intentional because she's not singing a song, she's telling a story. Every technique she used in this performance had a purpose, to make the audience feel. That's also why it's just her and a guitarist. No distractions. Just pure emotion.

[@ChrisPhoenixMusic]

She has such control over her voice that she is trusting it to hold up while she puts as much feeling into it as she likes. That's what a master sounds like, right there. She's mastered her voice.

[@shednotes3016]

Yes...you have it all. The knowledge, the passion, the emotion, you're in beautiful nature, and you have a very smooth appeal. Easy sub👍🏽

[@RnBSingingLessons]

Thanks for that lovely comment :)

[@ChristiIsabel]

You hit the nail right on the head! Abbey’s voice is BLESSED. If I saw her live; she would bring me to tears...

[@autumnferguson856]

The most pure expression of grief in song form.

[@vanessaaves3271]

So this video is probably the 100th reaction video of My Mind, and yours is actually kind of my favorite. It's weird that you are in a park, but I dig it. She's lovely and tragic and intimate and this song is everything that I needed it to be. Good reaction.

[@RnBSingingLessons]

Thank you 😊 why am I your favorite?

[@vanessaaves3271]

RnB Singing Lessons you broke down her runs and recreated them, the performance seemed to genuinely bring you joy and in appreciation you would rewind and play back your favorite parts. By you describing what you heard in her singing, it allowed me to also hear those intricate aspects of her voice. I will definitely be checking out your other videos. Thank you!

[@steveh.9170]

the gravely is def intentional ive heard all of her stuff. Thats a gift, you have it or you dont.

[@martindale6958]

Steve H. She also smokes so I think that may be a part of it.

[@nikiame5587]

Steve H. Agreed

[@steveh.9170]

This girl can do whatever she wants with her vocals. She was born with a gift and has refined it.

[@Cocos710]

Im a longterm subscriber of you Rached. Could you please react to Clark Beckham and Yebba - Gravity. Its one of the best things i ever heard in a duet

[@RnBSingingLessons]

Will do

[@ZeruWilde]

I think smoke with Luke levenson and yebba is fuckin banging

[@Cocos710]

Rached when will you do it ?

[@jlog1c]

Thanks for this! Check out her "Gravity" video with Clark Beckham (Cover)! Or "Smoke" with Luke Levenson (Original), both of those guys have voices you would probably find very interesting as well.

[@fayerwashington51]

Please react to Niia ft. Jazmine Sullivan "Sideline"

[@marlonscott1014]

Fayerene Washington yesssss

[@jazzf1572]

Yaaaasss

[@dejaking5968]

Soooooo your musical taste is amazinggggg !!!

[@mamameany9]

yessss

[@JAVYxGV]

RUNNING laps around those scales! Olympian-level singing to THE GODS. I stan. 🤘😍

[@elliephillips6776]

I love how this guy appreciates Yerba so much….he’s very attractive too!

[@RnBSingingLessons]

Thank you :)

[@goudy2shu488]

If you liked Yebba on my mind, listen to Smoke by Luke Levenson ft. Yebba(Abbey Smith), Gravity by Clark Beckham ft.Yebba. She has just recently released Evergreen by Yebba(Abbey spelt backwards)! Please react to these.xoxo

[@MaxKhangMusic]

YOU REPLAYED ALL THE PARTS I DID!!! Love your comment on the raw artist! Where artist push to their limits live and authentic!!! Loved you analysis! You keep it REAL AND HONEST!!! Love you channel!!!

[@RnBSingingLessons]

😊😊😊

[@bayleecorona7625]

Didn’t realize this was a sing along 😂

[@katewilliams2224]

love that you're just as excited about this as me

[@melissamorton1655]

It is so interesting to hear vocal coaches reacting to such raw talent. I fucking love it!

[@yahmein]

It’s normal for vocal coaches who react to singing to stop and try to not only analyze the vocals but mimic them lol!

[@eringunsinger8092]

EVERGREEN! Please please please! Oh, and Smoke (Luke Levenson and Abbey Smith...Yebba = Abbey spelled backwards). The vocal gymnastics, the accuracy and precision - it's just mind-blowing.

[@156xtina6]

I really wish you'd cover this song now 😂

[@gk6421]

I know you listened to this again after making this video and cried.

[@molly104]

bro gonna have to disagree with you on one point - don't think the gravel is "unintentional" per se because she has clear notes as well, I think it's "unintentional" in a sense that she doesn't know if the voice will gravel at a certain stage but I will say I think there is some degree of control in that she know at what stage her voice will reach that gravel to add to the emotion :)

[@RnBSingingLessons]

Yeah I agree with your last sentence

[@daw888]

i love the way you appreciate those tiny bits

[@davidroberson8221]

She was intentionally adding rasp to parts of her vocal. Black singers created that technique which is heard mostly in gospel music.

[@sheliaellenburg2451]

You need to really listen to Allen stone, he sings alot like yebba .he is just awesome he got so much soul it's unbelievable. His songs are unaware is one brown eyed lover, he writes most of his music. Another one is your eyes, or give you blue ,American privilege, that's just a few .you will not be disappointed check him out ❤

[@bgenesisthomas9146]

Pure raw emotion, your reaction was awesome! I believe she was reliving what she was singing about! The girl’s got talent!😜🎤🎤😜

[@willowtufts9821]

This is my favorite reaction video for a song. Knowledge and care. The repeating of important bits. Good good stuff 👌🏻

[@tonydigital6017]

She wasnt pushing her voice to hit that high note......she did exactly what she was trying to do. It was an effect

[@zackattack_1994]

You pause a video TOO much!

[@trumplady1906]

She's absolutely wonderful 🤗🤗 ty

[@barbaracook4764]

Best analysis of Yebba's technique. Thanks you got a good set of ears.

[@RnBSingingLessons]

Thanks 😊

[@sunniepalodejr3646]

Heard some Dorinda and Karen Clark in there at 9:11

[@laurenmcintosh6864]

Wow you’re so handsome! I love watchin you appreciate the runs! New subscriber ☝🏼

[@RnBSingingLessons]

😊

[@vanessawhitney562]

Broke it down well

[@aubrymarie2327]

Amazing video, keep going with these. I love your channel by just watching this lol. Subbed, have an amazing day sir. 👋✌👍

[@angelabaker1144]

Her soul sang

[@TheStr8AndNarrow]

I really enjoy watching your reaction videos. So unaffected and your genuine and deep love for music is so apparent. This was such a powerful and gripping performance from Yebba. I second the others who suggested you watch her duet with Clark Beckham (under her name Abbey Smith) singing "Gravity." And then while you're at it, because I'm not demanding (ha), I strongly recommend "Tennessee Whiskey" by Clark Beckham and Madison Ryann. PHD runs galore. :)

[@elliot6202]

I felt like you missed a lot of the emotion of the song by not listening to it first prior to analysis or just not listening to it fully. some of my favourite parts of the song you didn't comment on because it didnt seem like you connected with the song personally at all. the difference between singing and SANGING is what YEBBA does damn well

[@LadyKEntertainment]

Really? Which part did he miss? Because it seemed like he stopped and or replayed almost every riff, run, and vibrato. He showed his goosebumps!!! 😄😄😄

[@LadyKEntertainment]

Why would heb listen to it before hand. It's a reaction video. It wouldn't be a genuine reaction then. And it's a vocal coach, that's why he keeps stopping to respond and analyze.

[@JohddaPro]

I wholeheartedly agree.

[@sovannpen]

Wow amazing performance! And you pick up those runs really quickly!

[@RnBSingingLessons]

I've spent A LOT of hours working on runs

[@crdnofficial4741]

New viewer here, but i would LOVE to see you break down some of the stuff Mitski does. Shes Unclassifiable genre wise in my opinion, literally nothing she does sounds the same as anything else she's ever done.

[@kracine9582]

Yebba just released a new video on her single "Evergreen". Please of a Reaction + Analysis - it will amaze! She is so fantastic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqeVn5uDhtKhqqc

[@williamhudson8985]

k Racine Yes please

[@grantcarlson9078]

6:30 I remember reading about this sort of thing: the Pratfall Effect. “people who are considered highly competent are found to be more likeable when they perform an everyday blunder than those who don’t.” (Brescia.edu)

[@fernandomoreno7753]

Thanks for checking it out! Isn't she incredible?! Haha

[@RnBSingingLessons]

Thanks for the request man :) Crazzzy

[@dlatohk]

Dear Hayek, Many thanks for your "Reaction + Analysis"~~~. You helped me to know more and more about the songs!

[@RnBSingingLessons]

😊

[@Beanjuicemom]

can you react/analyze to Yebba - Evergreen? Thank you!

[@seanjohnson3426]

Oh, I didn't know, thanks!

[@sl8390]

How tf have I not seen this yet, I couldn't find any reactions to this and I'm subscribed to you what the hell

[@kracine9582]

There are lots of reactions out there...just do a search on yebba reactions, and you will find them.

[@roz7056]

The gravel is Pentacostal intentional!!!

[@kingmoala2379]

Been watching tour vids..gotta say love the way you break them down! Can you do Clark Beckhams Tennessee Whiskey cover? Would love to hear what you think.

[@RnBSingingLessons]

😊

[@jamiecbs]

Is there such thing as repetitive pause syndrome ?

[@MaxKhangMusic]

You should also react to Dear No One Fatai V. Her version on Tori Kelly’s Original Song! You’ll love Tori Kelly’s vocals too!!!

[@RnBSingingLessons]

Fatai is a monster...saw her live

[@mamameany9]

Evergreen! by yebba

[@fadingdimension]

the gravel just adds to the dirty raw sound like a baby crying

[@windajames1616]

Please Can u play KZ TANDINGAN ,ROLLING IN THE DEEP ,thanks,, can we see how u react of this song,,

[@muddaarmy8647]

I was listening to her and Clark Beckham all day. I’m jealous dear God! Haha. Their Gravity cover is also the best. You might want to check it out as well. I’m sleeping with so much jealously because of Clark Beckham. Hahahaha

[@pawhandsome2114]

I love your practice! Keep sharing. *sorry for my english*

[@LETSHEALUS]

FUCK THAT HE DID EXACTLY WHAT I DO AND AT ALL THE SAME PARTS ROFLAMO

[@barbaracook4764]

Do u hear an influence of Luther VanDross musical runs...yeah!

[@marketingheavydutytowcompa6996]

Wondering if you are ever going to figure out the woman is torn to shreds emotionally. She's not trying to push her voice to the edge, she's trying not to lose her sanity and begin screaming and crying. Listen to her emotions and quit trying to hit runs you obviously can't. People are watching reactions to Yerba singing My Mind to see what others emotional reaction might be. Nope you never got the point. Her voice is tired? She's emotionally destroyed. Watch her! She's damn near sobbing dude.

[@odysseussaxton6010]

If you love this, you have to Check out Yebba’s recently made Evergreen music video. It is literally her best in terms of musicality. I absolutely loved your video, amazing!

[@RnBSingingLessons]

😊😊

[@rivaibakriehamisi7728]

Pro!!! Wow you're very spesific👍

[@RnBSingingLessons]

😊 thank you

[@Marlonzen]

Good stuff. And you pick up those runs quick.

[@RnBSingingLessons]

Many many hours of practice :)

[@jeffstumpf9129]

Have you analyzed Chris Stapleton's bluesy soulful cover of Dean Dillon & Linda Hargrove's country song " Tennessee Whiskey "?

[@edmardejino3518]

this for you the opera. Super Star TTV Birdy sing's Phantom Of The Opera

[@smeasy18]

You gotta check out her new music video evergreen!

[@Ylluminated_1]

Hey, you should react and analyze Moses Sumney's performance of "plastic" on the sofar channel. He has a crazy range and folksy-indie r&b kind of sound.

[@mamameany9]

please react to Yebba' "Evergreen" :)

[@runyunhyde4373]

Could you do a vocal reaction to LP? Either Lost on you live or Strange or Muddy Waters live

[@bonbonxx5124]

You have to react to Jessie J, especially her performances on Singer 2018! She’s a killer vocalist❤️

[@1Ma9iN8tive]

Nice break down bro

[@linda4923]

Check out Larry from Lee Twins perform this song. Her voice is so mesmerizing. He dances so emotinally. They are both beautiful.

[@kc3909]

I loved this performance by her so much. She wrote and performed this I believe shortly after her mom killed her self, it was her first time performing it

[@anitawatkins2746]

It’s probably better to study her vocals when you aren’t doing a reaction. 😉

[@claytongreen7000]

A great song sung by an extraordinary artist. You seem knowledgeable in listening and capable of emulating soulful sounds. I cannot fathom why you would record a reaction video in a loud outdoor area. While you get the benefit of headphones, those of us trying to listen and stay with your analysis are subjected to screaming children, motorcycles, third party conversations the content of which we can clearly hear and the birds! All of this done on an open microphone mixed with equal volume to the original source. Doesn't this strike you as rude to the performer, your subscribers and most of all, those who recommended Abbey to you? I believe I could handle your excessive pause/rewinds and even your need to show your own riff skills. But the environment you choose as your sound stage is not worthy of the artists you come to critique. Your sound stage is not worthy of your own skill.

[@RnBSingingLessons]

Thanks. I'm no longer recording in noisy environments, without the right equipment.

[@mejay553]

Love your reaction new sub

[@RnBSingingLessons]

😊

[@JohddaPro]

She didn't need to "clear" her throat. Comparing her to Christina Aguilera's ugly intentional Tony the Tiger growls is utterly disrespectful to Yebba's natural gift. Whether intentional or not, that "gravel" is a quality of her voice that she's grown comfortable with enough to just let happen, and I'm glad she did because that gravel was needed to convey the message. The issue with soulless, trained "vocalists" is that you always try to reason when you just need to "feel". Who told you that rasp, which you call gravel, was a bad thing that needed to be corrected? It can be depending on the singer, but not for her. You missed alot in this video because you kept trying to stop and mimick, which I understand. As a singer, we hear something pleasing to the ear and want to try it. But you also have to know when to just take it all in. I'm sure you're great at what YOU do, which isn't what she does. I'm glad you enjoyed it. However, I wish that everyone would know their lanes and be comfortable in it. All of the levels of your voice are clear. Hers isn't. She doesn't need to clear her throat.

[@jamesmangiwass3839]

Hi Rached. I stumbled upon you when I was searching for Boys2Men's Rose And A Honeycomb about a month ago. I really enjoy your reaction videos. I would like to see you react to La'Porsha Renae duetting with Fantasia La'Porsha Renae & Fantasia - Top 24 Duet - AMERICAN IDOL . If you have time check out my cover of Sam Cooke's Just Another Day and let me know what you think. 👊

[@mikerothe8451]

Have u reacted to "Gravity" with her in it? Just as good

[@chantelgriffin8390]

[@seventhirty22]

Such a HUGE Abbey Smith (Yebba) fan. Glad to see her getting her just due. Great video. Not sure if you have covered or heard this before, but this clip of Callie Day will also knock you dead... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWO5aqGQaZtoedE

[@cjdonald1983]

Rashed, I'm afraid it appeared that you totally missed the point on this... it was like you were so caught up in analysing the technical aspects that you missed the absolute raw emotion and power in this song...those runs were cries from the heart, but you were so busy pulling it all apart you didn't get the full impact...its a crying shame.

[@TheMsPhyl]

I think her imperfections are intentional.

[@rh2378]

React to Brandy Beggin and Pleadin. The live performance. ASAP
