You gotta see them do their duet of "How to be me" live. It's breath taking.

[@jacks9624]

Yes. Please?

[@Jadedxx]

Agreed 💯

[@Mhantrax]

If you are looking for a Chinchilla solo that shows her amazing skills, you can try Fingers, live version. She blows me away.

[@Dstinii]

Ya, Fingers (live for Hunger TV), How to be Me with Ren (LIVE). Groovy fun tune would be Lockdown Getdown, female/personal empowerment would be MF Diamond, Little Girl Gone, Elements. Oh, just everything.

[@itsayswithoutgoing9571]

It’s kind of shocking how much better the live versions of this and How To Be Me are. I think I’ve listened to each studio version once, and the lives hundreds of times.

[@E-d1d3]

There are studio versions?

[@itsayswithoutgoing9571]

@@E-d1d3 heard them in Spotify, sadly the live versions aren’t available on that platform.

[@becbrown212]

Ditto

[@leftyjaggajagga]

The live versions are the defining versions for me, for sure. Raw. Stripped down. Brilliant.

[@toniyoung5131]

I've listened to the studio version of Chalk Outlines a few times. I prefer Chinchillas voice on that.

[@67goat]

As you watch more of Ren's singing videos, I think you'll see he has much greater vocal control than you are giving him credit for.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

I’m not talking about vocal control. And I’m definitely giving him huge credit 😂 what I’m talking about is literally the difference between being trained and not. Either way, anyone can be a great singer. The dropped jaw thing is only about using less tension in the voice. A little less stress on the cords. That’s all.

[@67goat]

@@7DeadlyBananas That too. He is pretty intentional about his jaw and throat control as well as vocal. Also, as pointed out by someone else, his mother is a vocal coach. I don't think he studied with her, but he certainly has her as a resource to get information from. He also basically in his interview with Chris Liepe that he focuses on emotive singing rather than technique because often technique results in a more sterile performance.

[@woodywoodman2319]

Their eye contact gets me everytime!!! Wow

[@lonesapphire]

Now you can go down the Chinchilla rabbit hole. She's equally as amazing as Ren and really has her own unique style. Love them together so much!

[@winterlady]

After this, time for some happy Ren: the hunger, what you want, illest of our time, halftime retake and bittersweet symphony retake. 🙂 I love his use of natural acoustics.

[@wadesessions7164]

one can't forget when hearing their amazing vocal songs, both of them are rappers

[@Shiroar]

The best musical “siblings”. Ren has called her his sister from another mister and a female version of himself due to their similar approach to music. For me I think it shows in the fact that they both have that something special that draws you in and demands attention. To see it fully for Chinchilla, check out her live version of Fingers. This song always reminds that one of the (many) things that makes Ren so great is his ability to know exactly when to be complex, keep it simple, or even use silence to get his message across. He isn’t flexing his guitar skills in this, just playing exactly what is needed with that beautiful guitar tone. And my favourite line in this is so simple, totally devoid of all the clever metaphors that he is so good at using, but it hits soooo hard: “I’m scared of being okay cause all things change”. I think anyone who has been through any struggles can relate to that feeling of not trusting that anything good will last. You can’t just enjoy it because you’re busy worrying about how long it will last and the feeling that will come when it’s gone. And then good days just make the darkness feel so much worse because you remember the light that’s gone… Ren is so special. He keeps being so relatable that it reminds us that we’re not alone. And we will always make room for more RENegades down the Ren rabbit hole cause we all need his light in the darkness 🐰🕳️ If you want more emotional singing from Ren, please check out one of my personal favourites: Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before he was finally correctly diagnosed with Lyme disease and was written after a breakdown following multiple emergency trips to the hospital. It is heart wrenching and beautiful.

[@Dr.Brummel]

Yea, Crutch is absolutely underrated. It's heartbreaking, beautiful and deep. It dates back to a time when Ren thought he wouldn't live much longer. It has a great no-budget video as well. 👍❤

[@jessietucker9342]

So, this is a one take recorded live, one of many. I think Ren only uses particular different facets of his varied musical palette when he performs. Ren is 34, and he grew up with a mother who is a vocal coach, so he has had at least some vocal training. Also, he was a producer, a street performer, a member of several bands, a signed artist, all through the years leading up to his illness, and now his current material.. Perhaps look into his full catalog to get a broader picture of Ren. You won't be disappointed.

[@gavinferguson]

so funny both of them have had considerable training and performance experience they just make it sounds raw by choice.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

Their duet if How To Be Me (Live) is even better, in my opinion! And you should react to her song Fingers (Live for Hunger TV).. She's amazing too!

[@shellymiller1248]

This!

[@FooDogDat]

Fingers Live for HungerTV

[@themojoslide]

First line is a killer, gets you immediately! What a song and performance!

[@Jadedxx]

You deserve a Happy Ren... Humble ft Eden Nash, Love Music 1-3, The Big Push Bongo bong or Englishman in NY. Always do a palate cleanser inbetween the tough, heavy ones.

[@Nonya12608]

His mom was a vocal coach, if I'm not mistaken, so he's grown up with training. He started out performing live on the streets of London, so it's not about having a perfect voice, to him. That's what makes him so great.

[@toniyoung5131]

Not London, Brighton.

[@barbarahatcher5942]

Thanks for another great Ren reaction. Everything Ren does is completely intentional. The location, the acoustic, the lighting, the camera shots, the clothing, the way he sings, which guitar. Everything is intentional.

[@BLIND82]

This is his Jeff Buckley style singing, he's got endless styles and tones of singing. Ren's voice isn't you're average joe or even a every day singer voice. It's much more and if you want that he can do that too! Listened to back on 74/message in a bottle retake and he turns into sting flawlessly and even sings an octave higher!

[@rachaelk3988]

The room he walks into, is his own mind. Alone, scattered information, and scary.

[@katiewill04]

If you liked this, I would definitely also recommend "how to be me" by Ren and Chinchilla!! Also if you have the chance please can you do the money game trilogy by Ren!!!

[@billinudgelexhaust138]

Ren and Sam Tompkins "Blind Eye" featuring the Angry Car Park Attendant is another were the location was picked for its acoustics also one incredible piece of musical art when you look at the circumstances they had to overcome to do the vid in one take while being evicted from the Car Park and not even slowing down after breaking a string on the guitar.

[@mldkenny]

Stunning raw vocals and performance, the Best!

[@Dr.Brummel]

Chinchilla has her own rabbit hole, check it out. 'FINGERS Live for HungerTV' is a banger.

[@janegill8990]

Cherophobia (chair-phobia) is the fear of being happy. Ren doesn't do anything without purpose.

[@annasylvester4516]

Thanks for another fin Ren reaction! Check out Little Girl Gone for a great example of Chinchilla's moxie in action.

[@krikat3485]

You are right, Chinchilla is a trained singer. She has an amazing command of her voice. Check out her solo work. She and Ren sound great together despite his lack of training. She probably holds back on her power a bit, in order to blend.

[@Jadedxx]

With Ren the live ones are always the best!

[@nada-8-4-2]

yh, how to be me, another glorious duet

[@simply_psi]

There is still so much incredible music for you to discover with Ren and Friends there is another Chinchilla duet How to be Me, a stunningly cool Back on 74 cover, there is duets with Bibi and Sam Tomkins as well as much more The Big Push to discover and I'm here for it with you.

[@mcguigance]

How to be Me ❤live version

[@DogDocKat]

Loved this! You should check out some of Ren's busking videos with his band The Big Push. Ren is extremely versatile in his singing. These two together, though, are so incredibly special. How To Be Me live is also phenomenal 💜💜

[@Quizzy0000]

talking about not ''perfect'' singing and how he projects emotions is exactly why he reminds me of Johnatan Davis from Korn. its the same passion to deliver a accurate emotional feeling bending the rules of the ''perfect'' singing. if all artists would sing perfect pitch music would be very boring cause there is no emotions then.

[@polyesterspecter]

Yes, this dues is amazing, but their HOW TO BE ME (live) is absolutely incredible. It'll give you chills, and break your heart. Can't wait to see your reaction to the best duet of ALL TIME.

[@tracyclark3693]

Thanks for this reaction! I feel like I’m always learning something interesting from trained musicians and vocal coaches!

[@sandraarutyunov4531]

Although this is an amazing song,' how to be me' is their best:) would love to see your reaction to the song.❤

[@sigally]

Love your reactions. 💙💜❤️You should check out a more recent one. Back on 74/Message in a Bottle Retake. Instead of the same old stuff that's usually requested. It's a great vibe and not sad. I get what you're saying as I used to sing. You should really see Ren's interview with Chris Liepe as they talk about Ren's approach to his vocals. Either that or a reaction from him. Ren can sing technically at a high level. In a live performance in particular, he goes into a flow state. It's very different most. Swan Song by the Big Push is an example of more technical vocals. There's others as well.

[@denalinde]

For something fun, Ren convinced Chinchilla to go busking. She’s performed as an opener for Sting, but singing in the street terrified her. They do a version of Sexual Healing that will make you forever hear it as a duet in your head going forward. 💜 BTW, she said she was so glad she conquered the fear & did it. She suffers from stage fright, which is why she puts on a “character” while singing. Putting on her long nails is her ritual to get into character.

[@lontollison6771]

Heal how can u not love this song ,4another banger check out Ren &Sam doing blindeyed (featuring angry car park attendant) where they get kicked out but continue to sing and film as they leave the car parking garage👍

[@needfree7086]

"How to be me" is their other song together/

[@yasha.hartberg]

I think at least part of the way Ren sings vowels comes down to his accent. However that might be, this performance becomes even more impressive from a technical perspective when you realize that Chinchilla doesn't appear to have a mic. If so, then she's constantly modulating her voice to account for her distance from Ren's mic.

[@mrsainsburys1]

Lol great reaction, lovely song, thank you Sir 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍

There's a lot of reaction vids, I love that you pointed out the expansive / hard surface spaces that he's... more than using, more like interacting with. It's such a subtle indicator of the genius. You separated yourself from the flock of reactions. :)

[@Nonya12608]

That glitching light in the beginning is the same as the lighting in Hi Ren, when his dark side is in charge. A reminder that it's always there. How to Be Me (Live!) will end you.

[@MissyGail4eva]

I made sure that notification bell was hit this time! Whoo hoo, I've never had a reactor do a premiere for 'Chalk Outlines', what fun😊 (I wonder what could have made you come up with such a notion as to premiere the 'classics'? Give that saint a cookie, LMA😅)

[@tjh5716]

Love your reaction. Already he got me. He got me on the first theee chords.

[@Nonya12608]

Chinchilla is eclectic, not hood. Listen to Fingers (Live!). She has, and still does work with a vocal coach. She's a powerhouse.

[@RyanESmail]

I’ve never heard anybody talk about his “ performance face” I thought it was actually a really cool comment what you said. I’ve never consider that perspective.

[@icyravens]

Last time I buzzed by your channel, your editor was making you watch queer comedies. You may have also had tears in your eyes then, but for totally different reasons. 😂 So glad you found Ren--he's a gem of a performer/artist/producer/director, etc. with songs that conveys such a wide array of emotions. I'm excited for your journey!

Thank you ❤ 7 Deadly Bananas ❤ for your 🐷 Ren X Chinchilla - 🎸🧑‍🎤💊 Chalk Outlines (live) reaction! #ren #chinchilla #chalkoutlines #live

[@banzy3]

Great reaction. I saw someone else comment on this, and I don't know how true it is, but they saw the mic on Ren's shirt, but no mic on Chinchilla, so it maybe that's she's projecting her voice so loud, that it's coming through on Ren's mic alone.

[@AllRandomOutcomes]

Chinchilla has a mic on, its visible when she's crouching and is positioned on her right hand shoulder in a similar place to Ren's. Chinchilla's mic pack's gain seems to be turned up high, as you can hear Chinchilla's nails catching her right earring as she runs her hand over her head; also the noise level is higher on her pack than on Ren's. It's possible this was done to allow Chinchilla to sing her intro section more softly than Ren's as a stylistic choice. When the camera pans round Ren's back, Chinchilla has pulled her hair over the mic just before standing, possibly to muffle the pickup a bit as she starts to sing the remainder of the song louder (the mic lead is still visible at various points). There is also a camera mic to pickup sound. There's pictures of Ren and Chinchilla rehearsing the song in the live setting on their socials but using handheld mics, enabling them to plan and decide how best to perform the live song.

[@banzy3]

@@AllRandomOutcomes Some great observations there. If she intentionally covered the mic with her hair to muffle it, that would certainly illustrate the level of planning and forethought that goes into these productions. Thanks for sharing.

[@highlightspotent127]

[@petralusebring6110]

As a vocal coach - please react to "Dimash Kudaibergen" singing OGNI PIETRA from the Arnau Concert on his own. This guy has an 7 octave range and he is trained since the age of 5 years old. Multi Instrumentalist, studying all his life, took diving and karate lessons and practices every day for some hours to work on the voice. All of that is he a very humble person without all that star mania behavior we see so often with people in the music industry. I'm excited to see your reaction. All the best from Germany 🇩🇪 Petra

Great reaction! Agree "How to be me" with Ren and Chinchilla is superb. Also, may I recommend Dimash (because you are a vocal coach). Dimash "SOS 2021" and "Stranger New Wave" are good examples of a voice that is said to be the best on the planet right now. I would love to see you react to those.

[@vickyterry3150]

If I remember correctly (and man, there is no guarantee that's happening, but...) yes, Chinchilla has worked with a vocal coach (may still be) while I think Ren's mom is a vocal coach. Love your reactions! You have some fun stuff ahead of you!

Please oh please react to Chinchilla's song Fingers, the live for Hunger TV version!! You're right that she's had training.

[@Melly01]

There's a great interview with The Fairy Voicemother and her where they go into pretty much detail about her vocals and training. Well worth seeing. The interview she has with Chris Liepe is focused more on her, personally, than the ins and outs of music. Her accent is delightful, and she's actually a bit shy. She goes by Chinchilla, but her real name is Daisy.

[@salishseamermaid]

@@Melly01 yes, I've watched both of those. She's so great.

[@cathrinewitty6749]

I’m pretty sure chinchilla was on the voice UK so I assume would have had some kind of training on that.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

Many singers with no training have made it far with their careers. The kind of training I’m talking about is just technique building, not learning how to sing. More like learning how to do some things a little easier and improve the longevity of one’s voice. But REN isn’t singing heavy metal or anything 😂 or playing massive sets on long tours. So it’s really just a technicality.

[@cathrinewitty6749]

@@7DeadlyBananasnow I kinda want to see Ren tackle some heavy metal, could you imagine him taking on Rage Against the Machine 🤣

[@7DeadlyBananas]

Ren would bring new life into some iconic rage songs for sure 😂

[@AllRandomOutcomes]

Chinchilla has stated in her interviews that she has had vocal training since her teens, and still has a vocal coach on her team (like most high ability/tier artists). She also gained a BA (Hons) First from the Academy of Contemporary Music (London) shortly before her debut single release back in 2019 (Elements); so likely has training in many areas related to the music making artistry (performance, production, songwriting, business management) to enable her natural abilities to the most. Based on a music press article her first collab release, one with the Estonian DJ NOEP, was developed after meeting at a song writting workshop they attended. Although, I don't think the Voice provides that level of specific support (at least not in the UK), Chinchilla did release a BTS video on her socials showing her working with her own vocal coach on her Virtual Insanity retake that she sang in the callback round (showing the new section she wrote for the song that wasn't aired in the show). Chinchilla's song Fingers (Live) for Hunger TV, on her YT channel, is a great demonstration of her using a range of vocal skills, stylings and techniques. Her song Cut You Off showcases her ability to switch styles/genre's at pace and apply vocal stylings to keep a song flowing and sonically interesting.

[@cathrinewitty6749]

@@AllRandomOutcomes wow she’s a master of her craft in all areas by the sounds of it. No wonder her and Ren work so well together I bet they are both perfectionists (well we know Ren is).
