Voice Teacher Reacts to Ariana Grande Best Live Vocals 2015-2016 (Part 1)

[@shayjaw8121]

you know the second performance she was actually sick with bronchitis! it’s crazy how she can belt out Gs while being sick!!!

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

I didn't know that! She's very skilled. I think practicing when you're sick is generally a good move, what works well when you're ill will work super well when you're better.

[@meowmiaowmiau]

@@SamJohnsonVoice yesss, the third clip where she is singing 'focus' she actually had a fever during the performance !

[@shayjaw8121]

@@SamJohnsonVoiceaaah thanks for replying! you are one of my favourite channels on here! even though i can’t sing, i love how you simplify things for people like me who have absolutely no musical knowledge. you’re the best!

[@Alainaa80]

I found your page while searching Muse performing starlight. I have a question about Ariana Grande, yes she’s got a great voice and I’m. I singer or expert but I think I can tell if someone sounds ok and I find I can’t understand what she’s saying, it’s like she’s not finishing or rounding out her words. I noticed Jessica Simpson did it in a song she was singing years ago. I even heard an experienced singer many years ago say singers need to round out their words. When Ariana sang with Jessie J, Jessie I could uunderstand and think she had a better voice

[@meowmiaowmiau]

@@Alainaa80 ariana doesn't enunciate her words sometimes + jessie and ari have different vocal singing styles which may be why :)

[@LilSisSilvia]

Please! Do make a Part 2!!! And promise we'll study one of those songs in one of our lessons! 😍

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Omg you'd sound SOOOOO good singing her music

[@LilSisSilvia]

Next time!!!@@SamJohnsonVoice

[@jakiewakie143]

I'm so happy you did a reaction to this, this was very informative and helped understand her voice more!

[@inkeriananas]

Yes part 2! From whatever error or era of Ariana's. 2018-2020 is my favorite.

[@vocal.genius]

oh how much i love you Sam! You explain things so precisely and it’s easy to understand!! definitely need a part 2 🥰

[@Ann0ne1]

We want part 2!

[@Ladygrande7]

Part 2 please! Love your videos btw.

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Thank you!!!

[@inkeriananas]

Sam, I love you humor. I giggle out loud a lot watching your videos. Thank you for that!

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Thank you!!! SO glad to hear it comes across for some haha

[@robertrhode1592]

18:29 I've done her jaw thing in the past, and for me, it helped with note separation in my runs. My runs were clearer, but as you said, tension crept in really quickly, so I stopped.

[@hunterbrackett2167]

Keep doing part 2,3,4,5 till we get to 2024!! New album soon!!!

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

are you excited for wicked?

[@noodlekins]

Part 2 please!:)

[@oliviaann1399]

I never unsee the jaw thing now since you pointed it out years ago hahahaha. Congrats on the book Sam!

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Thank you so much! Glad it's finally done

[@tommasocervini5205]

Omg PLEASE make a second part🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@juliocesarferreira8935]

part 2 nowwwww

[@romulo_lupin]

So.glad you've released your book ❤️

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Thank you! Me too. Didn't realize how big of a project it would be when I started it.

[@LilacsAndLavender]

Great video! Would love to see part 2. Also please react to Regina Spektor’s tiny desk!!! 😊

[@noelle5128]

The world is healing, Sam is reacting to Ari again

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love Ari!

[@GaelFlores_]

Part 2 please ❤

[@tyrell423]

YES PT 2 PLS😭😭😭

[@strewbarryy]

Pleaseeee part 2 yess !!!!!

[@antonellavirginia]

I want like a thousand videos of you analyzing Ariana's performances. Addicted to it

[@jer9grant]

i forget if it was the Summertime Ball performance in this video, but I remember one of the times she performed at that event, she couldn't hear herself: the mix in her IEMs didn't include her live vocal. part 2 please!

[@kensei4237]

just discovered this channel and i’m loving it 🔥

[@Itszahia]

I’m sure you probably heard it but Erik Vetro (professional vocal coach) did a 36 minute podcast episode with Ariana grande since she’s one of his clients. It was interesting to listen to, it came out over two years ago (:

[@crownguard8936]

We need part 2❤

[@matth6653]

I feel like I learn something every time I watch you. Would love to see you analyze Rainbow - 'Stargazer'. I think there are so many things you could point out about Dio's vocals. I really enjoy how you analyze great singers of different genres.

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Thank you for watching and thanks for the recommendation!!

[@Weirdo1018]

16:32 ❤😂 loved that moment you just enjoying and lip syncing the song❤

[@thxjsxari]

20:50 love the build up to the G#5 and Bb5 !

[@Mark-vu5zp]

Here again asking for part 2 🧍🏼‍♂️

[@jongininikim5219]

a fun way to be a silly little goose: change the lyrics up a lil bit just for funsies. example: arctic monkeys frontman alex turner has done this from time to time in cornerstone and some other tracks.

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Yes, love it. I usually make parodies of songs to make them about my dogs.

[@funaat2626]

please do a part 2!!!!!!!

[@adrielperez1104]

Sería muy bueno que puedas preguntarle sobre su voz a Ari, sería muy interesante. Tiene una voz tan prodigiosa, creo que nunca le hicieron una entrevista sobre eso. Sería hermoso que sucediera 😊. A esperar la segunda parte. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

[@poptopics1772]

Thanks so much for doing my suggestion❤

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Thanks for the idea!

[@poptopics1772]

@@SamJohnsonVoice Your so welcome, i would love to hear your take on some other different topics that have circulated on KZbin for a very long time since you are the only voice teacher i trust, the vocal community of KZbin have misused the term “support” and “resonance” for a very long time all thanks to a blog that originated in 2008 called “TheKpopVocalAnalysis”, they said that resonance is achieved very rarely by few singers or what they like to call their favorite singers, and that most singers can’t support or resonate because of “tension and strain” which in most cases it’s minimal or no tension at all, and they don’t understand what strain is, it’s literally all the opposite of how vocal teachers teach vocal pedagogy. They said that Ariana doesn’t have support past the note “B4” consistently and that she doesn’t support her high notes, they thrown around the word “support” a lot and even make vocal tiers and consider a “supported range” when trying to debate between singers, they consider that the one with the “wider supported range” is the better one leaving completely aside other vocal terms. I would love to know your opinion on this.

[@thxjsxari]

LOVE THESE ARIANA GRANDE REACTIONSSS !!

[@ralphcarino5672]

why not react to her more recent vocals or even her sweetener tour 2018-19 vocals... shes much better now

[@sebastiandaniel4286]

we need part 2 pls

[@luanquaresma4377]

part 2 please!!!!

[@acejo4594]

She is a Lirico Soprano, so her money notes are the F5's/G5's. So it makes sense why its an ease for her to hit upper belts. Same way a Mezzo money not is C5's/D5's belts. Vocal type or fach plays a big part in ones ability to hit certain notes/pitch. It helps avoid vocal damage over time

[@filipmarinkovic6281]

Yeah, but the amazing part is that her mid belts are also very good and strong, and her lows are very overlooked. She is so good

[@filipw3]

Ttheir song tickles a spot in my brain I didn’t know was there. One request. React to Dark by October Ends 😍

[@cutevirgo1996]

Can you react to Halle Angel acoustic? 🫶🏽🥹

[@onbehalfofenokithecat]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Huening Bahiyyih's (Kep1er member) cover of Ariana's "Snow in California." She has a very different voice, but the cover is pretty fun.

[@rjhall4093]

you have to react to her my hair live performance

[@pgast3]

general thoughts....I like your videos and analysis (although not a subscriber). I am surprised that from the many many videos you have done...I think you've only talked about whitney houston on less than 3-4 occasions. I get she is of a slightly different generation but considering the amount of reviews and analysis you have done of people who sang her songs....maybe do some more of her actual performances....hope the book takes off!!!

[@liam00]

I was waiting for your comment on the jaw. It also gets me a bit tbf, makes my jaw hurt watching it 😂

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

I definitely feel sympathetically while watching people as well! haha it seems to be working for her ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@jongininikim5219]

i have a question about your book: is it easy to understand for beginners that have never had any sort of training?

[@VocalAttitude]

Yes! Book very good and very accessible.

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

It was my goal to make it as accessible and straightforward as possible! I think there's stuff in it that singers of any level could learn from.

[@Miguelle100]

very nice analysis

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

thank you!

[@green7apocalyptica]

8:50 thank you!❤

[@godisjihyo3615]

the jaw thing seems to be something she picked up as a teen and held onto for a long time but shes worked on it since then and does it much less now

[@dancanvocals]

I'd love for you to react to some Tori Kelly again, particularly some of her recent stuff or Christmas stuff, she's been on fire recently!

[@ag10ism]

Omg missed your reactions. Need a reaction for Rihanna's Russian Roulette AOL session from you

[@emna773]

Questionable morals/past but dang if she isn't one of the most talented chart toppers active today

[@davidhotson1594]

Sorry what is the name of your book again ? 😂

[@leumamk5259]

I think it's something about something being open, but he barely mentioned it, so I'll check

[@cjwilson3720]

can you do a beyonce best live vocals?

[@fredbloggs6080]

Could you react to something by Jona Viray, for example "I'll Never Love Again - Jona | The Aces", the performance posted by "evelyn de leon", which a venue production video, with better audio and and video than another performance from the same engagement shot from the audience that is on Jona's official channel.

Do Mariah best live vocals plxxz

[@LucasGabriel-of3ul]

In this video there are some clips that would be "bad vocals" in fact, I think the person who edited it doesn't understand much about vocals, in part 2 it should appear, falsettos in into you flat, or tense vocals anyway, Ariana is a great singer but she makes mistakes Just like we all make mistakes, I just wanted to clarify! I love your channel

[@Gillozz]

I dont like her

[@zaldrizo]

You need to react to Ruby Leigh on the voice, she's the future of Country Music and the future is bright!

You should do Sabrina carpenter best live vocals
