The Voice! [ Coach Performance] - SINGER REACTS

This is the coach’s (Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Blake Shelton from The Voice performing a soul music medley & my reaction / analysis. This is great arrangement featuring a tight horn section, and I feel like a medley of two duets. Im loving the great belts/mixed belts and the powerful high notes from both the guys and the ladies. These songs are super bluesy and all their runs are minor. They are sooo many great licks here that every singer should know, that work in many minor/blues contexts like this song.
I am a jazz/R&B vocalist, baritone saxophone player, vocal coach and music educator. This is my reaction, breakdown and analysis. It is a joy to make these videos for y’all! Let me know what you wanna see next!!

The impression at 2:08 made my day lmao

[@erikatorresmusic_]

LOL yay

[@fitzgeraldgatsby4885]

Rasp was intentional. Started doing it more in the positions era. You can also hear her do it on the off the table vevo live.

[@jonathan2400]

this

[@Miguelle100]

I was about to comment. Her rasp is definitely a stylistic choice and I love it so much

[@jonathanouellette7050]

Kelly Clarkson can sing anything. I love how she looked so excited to sing with Ariana Grande, a singer with who she can belt without restraint.

[@kylejackson3334]

I love Kelly so much and Kelly and Ariana together = magic

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Totally agree!

[@themrjfo]

I love the sound of that raspiness you point out in Ari’s voice

[@ralphcarino5672]

the rasp was intentional😭its for stylistic purposes no strain lol she’s been incorporating rasp recently

[@matthewgabrielleesguerra4598]

Ari's been singing with that rasp in her Positions era. I hope you check out her positions vevo performances! they're SO GOOD. Uhhh loved ur reaction again!!

[@erikatorresmusic_]

I’ve reacted to one!! You’re so right tho they’re great. Thanks for watching and supporting me :) ❤️

[@causeyje5791]

It’s always great to see a singer progression over time, with both singers

[@mumuniamida7815]

I’m looking forward to you reacting to a solo performance from Kelly hun

[@akamer1274]

we will be streaming anything u have to cover ur voice is SOO pretty 😭😍 i’m so excited!! very great reaction. ur ear is so pointed and hears things that i could never notice by myself still. can’t wait for next week ✨

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Ugh thank you soooo much

[@carlostorres5848]

You are the very best. I've watched a whole lot of reaction videos. You are by far the most dynamic, entertaining, and fun. CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR YOUR COVER this Thursday.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Yee yee ❤️🤠

[@lionkrasniqi]

10:10 that guess what it was an intentional distortion, she is been doing that a lot in her later performances

[@briannaaudain928]

Yeah she mixes it up in the same performances

[@Ernie1978]

What a brilliant breakdown of that performance! I love Kelly Clarkson, starting to like Ariana. Great video, Erika!!

[@erikatorresmusic_]

So glad you enjoyed it!!! Thanks for coming back :)

[@dave-tf8ov]

This rasp is intentional imo, it sounded really.cool. same last year for example in off the table!

[@lilyrobert2224]

Hi Erika. I thought this reaction was very informative and fun to watch. The tremendous amount of respect all the singers have for each other was so evident, they all seem to be having so much fun and sounded so good together. I liked how you used your musical background to include the musicians effect on the performance. I liked the "pink cowgirl/jumpsuit" outfit, Ariana has so much confidence in herself to pull it off. Looking forward to your singing soon.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Thank you so much girl! So glad you liked it and you're right I have a tremendous amount of respect for all of these singers. This is such a great performance I'm glad yall encouraged me to react to it because I otherwise would not have seen it. And you're right she does have the confidence that jumpsuit needs!!

[@MusicalSaraJo]

I have been singing my whole life and don’t know any terminology so I love learning in these kinds of videos. Your voice is lovely and I enjoy your personality.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Awe this makes me so happy to hear. People like yourself are the reason I make these videos :) ❤️

[@davidlaughs3144]

I just wanted to say that rasp that you’re hearing is a stylistic choice she started using it more lately , like in the pov live performance or my hair live performance she uses it a lot

[@yea7280]

i havent read the comments so idk if u know already but the rasp on ariana is a stylistic choice! she has been using it more often. usually every era she switches up her singing style to experiment

[@davidbyrd5164]

It adds that maturity to her sound, her I think it was by choice it matches the personality of the song

[@michaelwinterfeld5063]

Kelly did a great cover of I know you won’t. Her Meaning of life Nashville sessions are really good as well.

[@yiuqwfj]

Another great breakdown, as always. Somehow it's more exciting to me to listen to a song with your explanations rather than to listen to it on my own. It's another way of listening. Maybe this show would've have been boring for me if not for you! ☺ I'm looking forward to your cover! 😀

[@erikatorresmusic_]

I'm so flattered!!! It totally is another way of listening!! In school we used to do this, listen to recordings, stop them and talk about details that were in the music. It's such a great way to learn!! :)

[@chaunmcbeath5785]

She is adding rasp on purpose she introduced that in her vevo series performances

[@sodade21]

Great work as always! now I am Hyped for your cover! although i'm not too big fan of big productions (i prefer raw) I'm eager to listen to it! also for future i would like for you to sing "always be my baby" with a company of a piano or guitar only accoustic

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Thank you soooo much ❤️❤️❤️ I know what you mean that you like a more raw performance, that’s definitely something I can look at doing in the future. Thank you for supporting me :)

[@chaunmcbeath5785]

Ariana wasn't straining but ok, if you watched the vevo series then you would know that she started using raspy mix.

[@Lisaluv2]

I wouldn’t personally wear a jumpsuit but come on- Ariana looks incredible in anything!

[@erikatorresmusic_]

I can't argue with that!!!!

[@wolfhunterplays3954]

Hey girl, the fact that u reacted to this video makes me so happy!! I love this performance!!! To be dead honest, no disrespect to Kelly whatsoever; I love her, and I only got more obsessed with her and her voice this season!!! However, I never watched a complete season before until Ariana joined the Voice. Hopefully this isn’t her first and only season she does. I love her relationship with Blake, and Kelly and Ari’s vocals together are unmatched!!! Overall, fantastic reaction!! I don’t think I even need to say it 💖🥰❤️😍😘

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Thank you SOO much

[@guiangel4445]

Ai que lindo ela cantando em português

[@erikatorresmusic_]

🥰❤️

[@Betweentheraindrops8]

Love the reaction. You should react and analyze live performances by Aretha!

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Oooo that would be so fun!!

[@RavenBrianne]

All I heard is that Kelly remains unmatched and no one’s still ready to admit. 😌

[@Stassi_babes]

I don’t know. Ariana’s rasp seemed intentional.

[@PenmanKonyak-dr8ki]

Watch full video and react don't stop again and again 😂

[@egui8677]

Awe in Portuguese didn’t expect that

[@yiuqwfj]

5:31 LOL 🤣

[@James-sc9pb]

As a jazz analyst you are definitely definitely going to want to react to Haley Reinhart with postmodern jukebox covering creep. 111 million views and 58 weeks top of billboard Jazz charts also critically acclaimed

[@hanifalvinoreza2605]

IM ur new subscriber from Indonesia. Can u react rimar performance on Indonesian idol

[@kimtae5016]

REACT TO MILEY CYRUS LIVE "MAYBE" PLSSSSS🥰 GODBLESSSS🤪

[@cagmo164]

Ariana wasn’t straining but ok, if you watched the vevo series than you would know that she started using raspy mix.

[@joeymoricone9008]

Hope you’re singing Mariah Carey!!!

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Not this time!!! but soon

[@pyrovian]

Please react to Morissette!? "Asia's Phoenix", "Mariah Carey of the Philippines"

[@erikatorresmusic_]

I'm planning on reacting to a video of Morisette in the next few weeks !!

[@pyrovian]

@@erikatorresmusic_ 👏👏👏 Can't wait!

[@JacquelineRocco]

Can't wait for Thursday!!! I love Jobim! Wonderful clip here, as always! If you want to go back to 1990 again in future, would you do this video of Witney?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4rdnYl6oapqaNk. ♥♥♥

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Yay! I love whitney I'll have to add that one to my list

[@JacquelineRocco]

@@erikatorresmusic_ 😊❤

[@ikangfsiallagan2505]

I like your impression but too much talking. Too much too many pauses

[@filippo6063]

Ari does the rasp because she want not for some problems in her voice. Maybe she just wanna try it

[@antoniopulido6407]

How do you know that are you her y’all say anything

[@ethereal_lm5119]

omg BY FARR the best vocal analysis channel i’ve ever seen!! you break down everything in such detail, but not in a confusing way to a point where a person who loves to sing and loves music but knows nothing about it (me) can’t learn from them!! 🫶🤍💫☁️✨

[@erikatorresmusic_]

Thank you SO much :)
