#singer #vocalcoach #reaction #analysis
Chinchilla's authenticity, vulnerability and yes, soothingly dynamic performances are taking listeners back to a time when perfection took a distant back seat to expression.
Goodness is not the ultimate pursuit. True connection and artistic communication is the focus, and in the midst of this, she unleashes a masterful performance... Both VOCALLY and visually!! ...And that's what we get to study and unpack as I experience this piece for the first time!
Be sure to rewatch the original video:

[@chinchilla_music]

This was soooo nice to watch - thank you so much for such in depth analysis and just everything you do!!! You’re the best! All the love 💛

[@donmclaughlin3926]

You are amazing!

[@Hexenkind1]

Thank you for your beautiful art.

[@mustardtopdog9064]

Quick question does being a producer as well as a performer influence your choices when performing or creating your music? Loved this performance 🎉

[@jasonstewart3996]

I love ypu chinchilla You are such an amazing singer

[@DoctorTako]

If people ever doubt reactions giving artists a bigger audience… I never would have found Chinchilla without reactions to Chalk Outlines and How to Be Me; which I wouldn’t have found without reactions to Hi Ren, and they are both some of my newer favorite artists.

[@hairball7529]

Ditto - same here 💯

[@evolutionviii12]

💯

[@iamlpinthe312]

FACTS! And reactions like this help those of us who are not music literate fully appreciate the art.

[@TheChristafershawn]

Reactors is how I found both as well.

[@christinamclaughlin8784]

Agreed!

[@Mcfly3595]

I think we’ve got so used to auto tuned vocals and manufactured music that raw talent has become unusual and an absolute breath of fresh air. This why Chinchilla & Ren are blowing everything out the water. When I’m hearing that AI is now making its mark in music. Thank god we have Ren & Chinchilla!!! 🎉 voices are not meant to be perfect. She gives me Kate Bush vibes

[@mej6519]

i picked up the kate bush vibes too.

[@eretlippand9965]

I have thought exactly the same thing, that AI can make music now, so talented singers and musicians will become more apriciated.

[@KamilDziadkiewicz]

i feel it's even worse - unaltered talent became uncomofrtable and niche and hard to market and it seems like we are only now regaining our capability to enjoy it after decades of being fed overproduced 'perfection'.

[@Nivleknosnhoj]

Yes indeed AI is making its mark in music so much so it sends chills down the spline quite RENmarkable hard to tell human from AI...

[@jonasmandersson]

Yep, Kate Bush but also some Imogen Heap.

[@user-nh4gi3dt4z]

How on earth have we been starved from NOT HEARING HER YEARS AGO??? YEAH SHE IS THE QUEEN!!!

[@richwwardrugby]

Hi Chris I’m not a singer (I wish), but I love music and female singers in particular. I found out about CHINCHILLA via Ren , he was in school with my daughter so I’ve followed him closely for some time. Ren as you know is immensely talented but when I heard CHINCHILLA on Chalk Outlines and How to be Me I fell in love with her. How can you not? This live performance is truly epic. I am 66 so have been listening to female singers for some time, among them Janice Joplin, Maggie Bell, Ann Wilson, Beth Hart, Floor Jansen not forgetting the all time greats Billie Holiday, Aretha, Whitney etc etc. in my humble opinion this young lady has the potential to be in that company if she isn’t already. Also I just want to say I love watching your reactions, I learn so much more about what’s involved and opens up a whole new world to me. Best wishes from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 UK 🇬🇧

[@LoriCrabtree31]

"I'm just going to give you my fingers." Wasn't ready for that response, but felt that in my soul!

[@tracyspacey6071]

Chinchilla is a MF Diamond 💎 💎💎

[@deanc486]

The emotional ramping note just hits every time. She is so good. I think this version shows off the strength of her vocal prowess.

[@BarberMidnight]

I absolutely love this song so so much. Im a 38 yr old guy whos literally had this on repeat like a teenager listening to her fave boyband haha. Its so many things, her voice and all the intricacies in it, the lyrics which have a blend of hurt and anger, the performance which as you say is showing the total immersion in the piece... man there so much. A massive thank you to Chinchilla for giving us this. its phenominal.

[@supergiangibar]

you'r lucky, I'm 54 and love her voice and performance .litterally blown away! I listen this version every day ( I'm splitting between her and Ren, I'm going crazy!!) Hypnotized! She reminds me a little bit of Kate Bush, BJork. Chinchilla and Ren have profoundly changed my way of approaching music

[@davidkozin]

Omg. I am glad there are many more! I played Little Girl Gone teaser out my car… a cis male. But it hits so hard!

[@garychap8384]

50 years old, and never been quite so excited about the British music scene. Ren is a legitimate musical genius, and Chinchilla is a truly stratospheric vocalist. Can't explain it... maybe they're both aliens! Just, take all my money \o/ \o/ \o/

[@isaacjacobs3785]

Don't understand why your age or being a man or women has anything to do with liking a vocal talent.

[@garychap8384]

@@isaacjacobs3785 it doesn't ... but age does have an affect on your ability to be surprised. If I say I've never been so excited about the state of the British music scene ... it does make a qualitative difference, to the strength of the statement, whether I am 50 or 20 or 12. No?

[@bethellen1962]

Your passion for art is just as engaging as the performances you react to. However, Chinchilla makes it easy to be enthusiastic. 🤩

[@SkaterWillsy]

Love the fact you've covered this. Such a raw emotional performance. She gives me Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Sia vibes all in one. She should be huge!

[@PeteFindsObscureStuff]

Agree. Reminiscent vocally of Tori Amos 'Winter' for me, (without the aggression).

[@kempkennedy3542]

OMG!!! I was having major Tori Amos vibes from this as well!!!! And Gaawwddd how I love Tori Amos! The Kate Bush also fits but with a gruffer voice... love the connection and helps explain my utter love with this!!

[@iamlpinthe312]

I would also add the etherealness of Amy Lee from Evanescence.

[@seagull01-cp8pb]

She also makes me think of Liza Minnelli🦇

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

1000%

[@jennymachin5532]

This is why i absolutely love it when artists sing live...chinchilla is absolutely amazing

[@MissMeKate]

Love seeing Chinchilla's talent being recognised in its own right. I love the theatricality of this performance and how much she uses her whole body when singing live.

[@nickfindsgold9788]

Its been quite an experience finding these artists and then realizing they have a whole back catalog of unbelievable work for us to enjoy. There is something wonderfully subversive about independent artists, musically rich, lyrically honest and widely shared through Reactors who the "industry" is trying hard to deny them a legitimate income This is the new model of music discovery, like the Disc Jockey of the 50's and 60's

[@amandajarboe1131]

I swear I felt my cranial bones crack when she hit that high note in the belt . . . otherworldly beautiful!

[@tattoodude8946]

I have not seen a performance this powerful... well, since I watched Chalk Outlines. I was hoping Chinchilla would get her moment and it appears it is happening. She is what we need in music - just as much as Ren is. It is time for a new musical movement - a movement back to the raw power that music is capable of wielding. And it's about damn time!

[@supertuscans9512]

Somebody’s recognised her ability because apparently she opened for Sting on his recent’ish tour.

[@uskok4636]

This performance of Cinchilla literally gave me shivers. Incredible. Love your reaction

[@Kenai2008]

I had given up on new artists and new music in general. I was happy with my Classic Rock, 80's/90's Metal and some older one hit wonders. My playlist was large but had been repeated many many times. I shied away from Hip Hop and Rap or the same old autotune modern music that has no soul ... Then I watched "Hi Ren" ... then Ren with Chinchilla ... now I once again am exploring new music. Your statements of "Expression over Perfection" as well as "They do not pursue goodness at the expense of being truly vulnerable and connected with themselves" holds so true and it is why I now want to find new independent artists. Great reaction and your breakdown was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Thanks for reacting to Chinchilla ... she is so good it blows me away. 😊❤

[@masterbetta6874]

This performance is up there with any of the greatest singers. She shows so much soul and character, so much power and restraint and so much discipline and abandon. This is absolutely perfect!

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I can’t put into words how much I love Chinchilla. I love that you are reacting to her music 😊❤

[@lucidchaoscreationsuk]

I absolutely LOVE how these artists are blowing up, and I think it’s absolutely awesome that people like you are reacting to them, and helping them get huge. REN and Chinchilla are now 2 of my top 5 artists. I also love your reactions and interviews, so thank you.

[@Dragonartykay]

When I listen to the live version I had chills all over. The produced version is good. But this is great.

[@CleddaSrh]

Got Dayummm! She didn’t just sing that song. She SANG TF outta that song. It’s a damn shame more people don’t know she’s out here making this music. So many are missing out

[@karlknall5803]

that imperfection is perfect9n, something a AI never will understand

[@galeriamardulce]

I know nothing about music so it's fascinating to hear your explanation of 'why' this is such a phenomenal performance. I just knew that it was. Also love that this bad ass girl has the sweet name of Daisy and is just as happy appearing on screen with no makeup as with her power dressing wardrobe and makeup. What an inspiration.

[@williamalexander7481]

She is amazing

[@FreddyNietzsche.]

She is just so damned good.... Truly good.

[@PeteFindsObscureStuff]

So glad you covered this one Chris. This lady is also something very special! Well done Daisy Bertenshaw!! Now completely independent without any label or management holding her back and due to drop a new track very soon. Bring it on I say!!

[@graceydez6199]

I hope they both stay that way too. It can be done these days. There are dozens of artists who have done it now. Build up a following and then being able to fill large rooms anywhere in the World. None of those people are as talented as them.

[@martinevans75]

Chinchilla adds so much spice to everything. Such strong cabaret vibes. Her live performances are mesmerising. Her voice comes from a place of such feeling. Her nails scare the bejesus out of me. I worry she will take Ren’s eye out in some of their duets. She is mesmerising. Seeing the content they created in Brighton gives me such a kick. I moved there in 2021. The little city has such a depth of artistic talent. Thanks Chinchilla. You rock.

[@mikeoliver159]

I'm so pleased that you are championing independent artists like Chinchilla and Ren. It's criminal that her video has only 36k views. This is a vocal masterclass!

[@tammymoyer7518]

First time I have listened to her independent of Ren and...WOW. What an incredible raw and expressive voice with power behind it when she wants to bring it. Ren literally changed how I listen to music...and I am classically trained and have a degree in music...and now she is doing it too.

[@hearmenow909]

That performance is mind blowing. I've watched it many times and it's equally as good every time. It'll never get old.

[@Mariomatters1984]

Watching these reactions puts a whole new appreciation to the artists! 😮

[@karmaczar8591]

Compression into crescendo back into compression is such a difficult vocal technique…..hence why she’s so damn good

[@annaspurlock439]

So happy you checked out this performance!!!! It blows my socks off!!!

[@greenmonster4918]

I describe her as a mix of Adele & Lady Gaga, with a sprinkle of crazy & a dash of fierce. And I mean it in the most complimentary way possible... She's pretty much the only artist I'm listening to outside of Ren at this point!

[@ChrisPage68]

I would listen to her in preference to Adele or Gaga.

[@wnettekoven]

Add Amy Lee from Evanescence in there too!

[@jeffthornton4328]

@@wnettekoven It's the power and purity of their sound which is so addictive.

[@santi_sings]

she and ren are even more amazing live Very raw and emotional and yet so technically impressive and these runs were incredible!

[@gisobo]

Whereas “live” doesn't mean a cheering audience and a bombastic show but seemingly minimalistic one-takes with outstanding performance, passion and care for details.

[@jeffthornton4328]

@@gisobo That "care for detail" that you mentioned, must also include some of the best "live" studio camera work I've seen. A very slick production and Chinchilla planned it all. An incredible talent.

[@staceyjayneplatt9527]

❤❤❤❤Absolutely Breathtaking and So Beautiful 🤩 THANKYOU loving your Reactions to Chinchilla xxx🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@ChrisJones-we4in]

Haven't seen such artistic creativity and a dramatic performance for so long - Chinchilla is like a modern day Kate Bush on that front and there is no higher accolade than that.

[@KevL_262]

Chinchilla and Ren are the most impessive artists I've seen in a long time!!!! Love your technical reactions and would love to see you breaking down Ren and Sam Tompkins "blind eyed" or some of their street performances. Sams range in his voice seems endless. And hes got such a clean falsetto... Thank you for your work. Peace and love from Germany ❤

[@jonathangibson9137]

"Hell hath no fury..." Amazing 🔥🔥🔥✌️

[@DjTiesticles]

Glad to see Chinchilla getting a lot more attention from the reaction community.

[@shontose]

This song gives me total body chills every damn time, no matter which version. One of the best interpretations of her music I've heard. I love when the artistic expression and appreciation is genuinely felt. She is a hidden diamond. I want so much for people to start noticing her more. She's so talented.

[@didierblasco8116]

Love seeing Chinchilla's talent being recognised in its own right.

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

She is a killer. LOVR HER. Great reaction.

[@Lynnie_14]

OMG - Chinchilla's belt was literally hair raising, but your gut impacted reaction and anticipation sent chills down my spine. She's completely oxymoronic - exquisite agony It feeds my soul ❤

[@jonathongeorge3093]

This is my new favorite live female performance ever... it overtook my previous title holder, "My Mind (Live at Sofar)" by Yebba. I have searched your archives & have found no reactions of Yebba... I would absolutely LOVE to see you analyze her performance of "My Mind". She is an amazing, soulful vocalist & I think you will find a lot to bite into with her charismatic performance.

[@russellpreson8982]

Chinchillas performance of Cold Water at the awards ceremony is exemplary. A vocal performance on anothe scale

[@jamesh2401]

Chris squeaked with joy a few times watching this. 8.32 - I want more of this. 😂

[@Rob-bt3ev]

Thanks for reviewing this version - I have been listening to this almost daily for a while now and I think it deserves so much more exposure

[@smack_pop7]

Chris, i am so glad you exist and "feel" the music as you do and have the capability to teach others to "feel" the music the way it is meant to be. Maybe having more teachers like you, and more talented artists like them will bring this music industry to a 360. ❤️ Love the passion you have for music.

[@dianeemanuel8541]

I love her music so much. This songs impact reminds me of the first time I heard Tori Amos’ album Little Earthquakes- I was in Peace Corps in a village and my post mate received a care package with a homemade cassette tape- mana from heaven

[@TooStonedToBobsled]

I've watched dozens of Chris' videos and this has to be the most excited I've seen him. For good reason too. Chinchilla is a gotdang powerhouse!

[@trex9263]

Everything you are describing about Chinchilla is what we called "Soul" back in the day. Janis Joplin is a great example.

[@ekadow]

Isn't it great being able to enjoy and appreciate this amazing music from Chinchilla and Ren - untainted by the music industry? I love this live version by Chinchilla, like others have said their music is all I'm listening to at the moment and of course reactors like yourself...!

[@Fqbbp]

She is fenomenal!

[@MrAndiron]

Kate Bush + Adele + Florence = Chinchilla 😊 Crazy good this is!

[@davidgoodyear843]

Thank you for invoking Kate! 😍

[@OOCFM]

wow, Amazing Vocalist! Never heard her before, seems she's not very popular, or well known for some reason, strange. Thanks for exposing her to new ears! On that note, may I suggest another you may or may not be aware of, - Morissette Amon. (frm Philippines) another outstanding Talent that seems to also be a Diamond hiding in plain sight. Dozens of Originals and literally 100's of Fantastic covers, and she has a much much bigger following, You should def. take a look. Peace out, and Thanks again!

[@bewilderedboy1]

So glad to see Chinchilla starting to get the recognition she deserves from people like you and That Singer Reacts who really understand just how insanely good this performance was. She has new music dropping at the end of this week, can’t wait to hear it. Keep up the great work, much love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@christilehman-starr4428]

Jeez o Pete The chills just don’t stop. Don’t know why I was waiting to hear this…. Now I know. Great job chris. Next I will consume the interview. Unbelievable. Chinchilla and Ren are crashing the industry along with Tom MacDonald. Let’s go!!!

[@davidjames3080]

This is one of the best things I've heard in years, can't believe it's been out for a year and I've never heard it (especially as I was already aware of Chinchilla through Ren). Went straight to her page to watch it and then downloaded it on spotify and is now on my playlist. This song needs to be circulated more. Considering it was released under Columbia (part of Sony Music) it is disappointing that this has not been pushed more than it has, but then I suppose it doesn't fit the normal garbage that record labels like to push.

[@ColoniaAgrippina2023]

Thank you,you taught me to appreciate this amazing outpouring of emotions even more. Can't wait for her new material to drop! Go Chinchilla!! I also adore her song "Elements"...

[@MarkTomblin]

Thank you for the reaction. I enjoyed that breakdown. I love the way Chinchilla gestures! She is theatrical with her hands. She crouches. She also does this knee lift at certain points in her performances (Time 07:30 in this video). Look for it!

[@rustyshak1857]

Spellbinding performance ... and a thank you to you Chris, just your reactions helped me improve my singing.

[@linmonash1244]

Wow! And your 'unpack' also micro-lazer focussed. Very educational.

[@ramhaille]

I think with autotuning there is an element of uncanny valley type of reaction to hearing it and it strips the emotion completely out. The imperfections are needed to make it sound real and give it soul. I'm not a singer nor a singing coach and can't analyse it like you do Chris, but there is a kind of organic mix of perfection and imperfection in Chinchilla's voice that makes it so moving. She's not just a singer, she is an artist. I've so missed this in music the last 20 or so years.

[@alanmai5656]

i love the oprn statements! they gave me my love back for music its been 20 years!

[@mehere6865]

You know Chris, when i first saw your reactions I admit I wanted to hate them, but you have me transfixed every time. As a deaf man, I have no choice but try and listen to elements of skillful change in songs, you have helped me hone the skill more - I thank you. This was an excellent analysis of this amazing persons talent, for me at least, her voice changes direction like a flock of birds or a shoal of fish and I LOVE that about her, It gives me something to listen for and I'm NEVER disappointed.

[@VynxeVainglory]

I can see why Ren wanted to work with her. Awesome performance.

[@MrScousedot]

That was the greatest reaction I watched ever. Thank you. Chinchilla is talented AF. I can't believe this song doesn't have 10M views already.

[@natemoothart6967]

She says she has some new stuff coming soon, I'm deeply looking forward to what's next!

[@kayarnold3151]

There is something about hearing the imperfections in a song where the emotion is in the forefront make it that much better. I've always appreciated hearing those little moments. I find it refreshingly beautiful.

[@davidkozin]

They are inspiring and I can’t wait for her song Little Girl Gone!

Truly amazing artists SHOULD sound better in a live performance than the studio. Her and Ren completely encapsulate this and I'm so glad people are catching onto how amazing they are.
