Please react to Shoshana and Amber Riley’s vocal battle rendition of “I Aint Never Loved a Man” 💕

[@ssabell31]

Shoshana is the QUEEN. When she sings you feel every emotion she is feeling. It's is truly an extraordinary thing to watch.

I just found her and I'm never letting go!

[@ssabell31]

@@ellebailey5358 go listen to the Waitress recordings posted from when she was was in the show. So good.

[@JoolDK]

Shoshana's duo with Amber Riley singing Never Loved a Man is also really good. I think you'd enjoy that one.

[@TheCanadianEuro]

YES PLEASE DO THIS! IT'S WAY TOO GOOD!!!!

THE FACT THAT TARA CAN PERFECTLY IMITATE THESE AMAZING SINGERS IS CRAZYYYY!

[@reginadavis1028]

She's a vocal COACH...she better be able to imitate!

[@stuckinaloophelpme7386]

@@reginadavis1028 not all vocal coach are like her tho, the title is easy to get, but hard to prove.

[@Hey_Jamie]

M S lol I mean. It’s easy to mimic in a falsetto. No one can imitate Shoshana - not this song. It’s insanity.

[@sxm76]

@@Hey_Jamie You're right! Not even my faves can I picture singing this song like she does. I'm amazed and I'm just now hearing of her last week!!!!

[@carr0760]

@@reginadavis1028 Being a vocal coach doesn't mean you're able to do everything. We all have a specialty, a style. Particularly with runs...not all voices have that level of agility, and it isn't something that everyone can develop - some voices are agile, some are heavy, some are light. So no, a coach better be able to imitate everything isn't accurate at all. More accurate - a vocal coach had better be able to explain everything.

[@PbPlaysInside]

I love how she builds up to fill the space with sound but she shows so much restraint and musicianship by allowing her silence fill the room too. Definitely becoming a quick fan of Shoshana Bean!

[@spiritvoxj9413]

Also recommend Shoshana and Amber Riley singing "I Ain't Never Loved a Man" So good.

[@briobrandon911]

This is why I love when you react to these performances! No one really noticed how she let that mood and energy sit still at the end like that! You did! You bot only react to these as a vocal coach but also as an artist!!! Loved this one Tara!

[@briobrandon911]

OOHP! And PROPS to Queen Shoshana for producing such a LEGENDARY performance!

[@jerrie2u]

She is a FORCE, I'm officially SHOOK!!

[@joncerda351]

She was my first Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway back in 2005, literally life changing. Her Defying Gravity was sooo unbelievable, still not over it.

[@memathews]

Nice video breaking down what makes Shoshana so wonderful to listen to. Each year for the last 4-5 years she returns here to Portland and does a concert to fund arts at her high school and the district. She sings in the school auditorium--which is actually a good acoustic space--and brings in student performers from around the district to sing and play with her onstage. It's a great concert. The students get some personal coaching with her. The band is local guys mixed with a couple of her regulars and her band leader. Pretty fantastic stuff and she raises the hairs on the back of your neck for a couple of incredible hours.

[@iliekmegapie]

Shoshana is one of my biggest vocal inspirations!! I love the emotion and power she brings to everyting she does. Could you please please PLEASE react to her singing "Ain't No Way" at some point? She's done it on one of her albums, and there are several live performances floating around on youtube.

[@AlexDallas226]

PLEASE aint no way, it's one of my favs by her

[@renee16us]

Almost a dirge there at the end....like, I can see the mourners stepping through hot rain behind loss. Umbrellas high. The music of rain and trumpets. Wow. I felt every piece of it.

[@dianeaustin2414]

Wow...what a lyrical description of that feeling. Thank you.

[@igorarnaud]

This is probably the most iconic live performance i've ever seen. Shoshana is a GOD.

[@sb4040]

Reading these comments, I'm convinced people today have no idea what singing is. This girl's vocals are nothing compared to classic female vocalists such as Rosemary Clooney, Diana Krall, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, and many others.

[@felipebraga5159]

@@sb4040 Don't. She is an insane singer and honestly up there with the best.

[@user-gr2vc2kv8r]

You've started something 😂 Now we HAVE to get a reaction to Avery Wilson and Sho singing "saving all my love" his runs will have you shook.

[@ginovious]

She SANGS everytime 😩😩 I cannot!!

[@aulduronsmith5577]

I discovered her at Postmodern Jukebox. She does several excellent songs with them, including Tomorrow and Stone Cold.

[@stewiegriffin993]

That Stone Cold PMJ cover is perfect, vocals, arrangement, video, setting, everything. Tara, please check it out! :)

[@fhwsfo]

I also discovered her through PMJ. I went to four or five PMJ concerts, and I believe she performed at two of them. I flew to New York to see her in Waitress. I’m a little obsessed with her (not stalker level).

[@corywalker2904]

What an AWESOME performance of this song! I love that bluesy sound, that this song presents. It really shocked me, when I heard Ed Shearin perform it. It made me realize how much I love the blues, for the fact that the performer is required to feel the music, and totally immerse themselves in the performance.

[@_gex]

Never heard of Shoshana before and wow, amazing singer! I legit got goosebumps from this performance

[@trumpetman2529]

A terrific example that silence speaks leagues. Truly an amazing performance! And loving the react videos!

[@Hokaiyu]

Holy COW. I tensed up a lot and got goosebumps. She is sooooooo amazing HOLY COW!!!!!

PLEASE TARA

[@nikolaydimov6893]

I am a singer too and I have watched hundreds and thousands of stunning performances... But believe me, this is something that genuinely changed me and my perception of singing and feeling music. This woman is a genius, I swear! Absolutely groundbraking!

[@Papatoothwort]

FINALLY. I’ve been waiting for a big youtube vocal coach to react to this absolute masterclass of a performance - It deserves all the attention in the world.

[@mickeydodkins3731]

I will ALWAYS be of the mind that this is the greatest live performance of any song ever.

[@kristinaiavarone4108]

This is how she performs everytime. Truly the most incredible human!!

[@thokozanigab]

Exactly, Shoshana is a powerhouse👏😭😭 I mean this performance was emotionally, spiritually and physically there and the soul she has!! I mean😍 I really do listen to this over and over again. Now! Questions!: At 6:40, Tara, what was the placement at the very top of that note? Was it head voice? And what about the notes leading up to the top? Because I feel like it was a very light chest I guess hahaha.. At 6:00, When Shoshana goes high , she has this gorgeous almost raspiness, also airy ,double tone, thing going on, I wanna know how to do that or if it's something that can be practiced or is it just in her voice? Because wow😭😭👌❤ Is Shoshana classically trained? Great video Tara❤ I also really wanted you to react to this gorgeous performance😭🔥🔥🎷🎷🎷

[@joshir3415]

Thokozani Gabela she studied at a conservatory (Cincinnati I believe). She took over the role of Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway. I’ve been following her for approximately 8 years now.

[@joshir3415]

I meant to say she took over from Indiana Mendel when she got hurt which made her the FIRST Elphaba.

[@thokozanigab]

@@joshir3415 what a woman🙌🏽

[@beckswin]

Shoshana can do head / chest at the same time

[@stewiegriffin993]

Now this has passed 100 k views, and seeing she's a TONY NOMINEE now, we need another Shoshana Bean reaction, specifically her cover of Sondheim's "Finishing the Hat" :) Glad you're back, Tara!!!

[@DerekSky33]

Ugh I’ve been hoping you would react to this for sooooo long. Even threw it in as a request a few times. Shoshana is a vocalist from another world and this rendition totally proves it. She’s absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for introducing her to so many more people. Much love xoxo

Aaah you finally did it! I’ve been patiently awaiting this video, since I knew you would love it! Shoshana really is world class.

[@jeremisputo2833]

O M G ! ! ! Shoshana is sooooo great! When she hit the highest note and then started belting and growling it was just stunning! For a long time I thought only JHUD could do something like that. Also I really recommend you to react to an episode of Shoshana's dressing room sessions. Personally I love "How Come You Don't Call Me" that she sang with DeAndre Brackensick.

[@stewiegriffin993]

My personal favorite is the Finishing the Hat session. She literally starts crying how much she's feeling the song, I highly recommend it :)

That blew me away! She is amazing! I'm gonna have to look up more of her stuff! Your reactions are better than any other vocal coach I've found on KZbin! Some just listen and don't say much. You give feedback , sometimes little critiques or constructive criticism even. You compliment what they do correctly and point out the proper techniques used. You're more informative and helpful than others I've found! If I had extra money, I would hire you as a vocal coach! Lol Please react to "Gold" by Emily Anderson!

Oh gosh, I would've never recognized her. But she slays and the song is great. Thanks for the educational aspects you bring here, Tara. I love hearing advises like the one not going out of the moment when not singing. This is, in my opinion, at least as important as all technical advises.

Just a suggestion... may I recommend Shoshana Bean’s duet with Scott Hoying on her original called “All To Me” it is a remarkable example of vocal mastery. The backing is a piano and four singers. The close harmonies are sooo haunting! This is well worth your time to hear!
