They Autotuned this .... because He had a Heavy Cold .. The original sound was Better .. HEY Ho

[@jameswolfe4712]

You are gorgeous girl. Wander what 🫚 hair would look like 😊

[@dougshield7622]

not a cold. he actually had a lesion that was bleeding on his vocal cords.@@christendomdefenderbeready3251

[@morgan5941]

I must be the only one that thinks this sounds like garbage. His enunciation makes my ears bleed. To me, it sounds like he's trying to sing with a mouth full of marbles.

[@mlong1958]

Draiman was trained as a Cantor and has been a heavy metal singer for years. During this performance, he had the flu and was sitting on the stool because the production team thought he might fall over if he tried to stand during the performance. He said that he spent about three hours in the vocal booth working out how to sing this song. Paul Simon promoted this performance on his social media, which he has never done for any cover of one of his songs.

[@4406bbldb]

Thanks for knowing and sharing. Seems to take a lot of work to be a master performer.

[@paulf4358]

you know nothing

[@crazymelomanka]

in one of the recent interviews he revealed that at that time he had a problem with his vocal cords, and had a surgery on them later. so he was not really in a good vocal state. yet nailed it. here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paSlk4SCnbSjbqMsi=Q5ir3NndGI8CAK4x .

[@jaycooper2812]

Draining was actually singing with a bleeding lesion on his vocal cord that night in addition to the fever. He did not have the flu, his fever was caused by the injury to his vocal cord. He refused to cancel his performance that evening because he had given his word that he would be there that night.

[@lisass1969]

@@jaycooper2812 When I saw them in 2019, he sat during this song...After hearing him talk about this, I rewatched it, and could see him struggling. SO glad the damage was able to be repaired.

[@thecocktailian2091]

I love when you said something to the effect of "If this man doesnt scream at me or growl at me...." Brilliant.

[@oceanchaos1]

Respect to Draiman for going out there sick and sitting right in front of the timpani. That's hard enough if you're going to just scream the whole song, but for something that requires such dynamic range it flabbers all kinds of gast. What a monster performance.

[@kong450]

The timpani in this performance drive me absolutely crazy. I am a percussionist, and believe me, those drums are certainly not what you are hearing in this track. Props to the performer for trying to sell it, though.

[@timliscum2861]

Why does everyone have to mention he was sick in every reaction.. it sounds like an excuse.. the performance was outstanding as is.. just leave well enough alone

[@zodarian6705]

@@timliscum2861 the reason in my opinion is because it makes the performance that much more amazing

[@tomassandstrom6445]

Another great singer of recent years is Myles Kennedy who also sang this song together live with Draiman and they synergies together awesomely. And also, he can put up quite a performance even when sick. Love them both! I have been listening to their bands for years and they never seem to release a bad album.

[@dakota6455]

"flabbers all kinds of gast." My new favorite expression....totally plagiarizing this!

"Do you know what...that was f%&king amazing!" The passion in your voice made the review a special one.

I agree! As an older female, I’ll just say her analysis was delightful! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

[@LedDashi]

Lover her flair!

[@SoiledWig]

i watch an embarrassingly high number of vocal reaction channels, and ran across yours just recently. i think yours has instantly become my favorite. Your descriptions of the techniques are done in a way i understand them better than ever before, and your demonstrations of said techniques are, truth be told, really kind of astounding. We love to see it!

[@cazkiwinz4300]

You’re not alone ....🙈 😂

[@Charishard]

Agreed I love reactions to this song as this one is really creative

[@AndrewB383]

That's actually why I started watching "vocal coach reacts to (x)" videos and then I never really saw good technique discussion, but found them entertaining so I kept watching them... Then the algorithm introduced me to this treasure, simultaneously educational and entertaining.

[@kernicterus1233]

Me too!

[@bigbigtimeboy]

Agreed

[@NaomiMoonMusic]

David has actually said that this was one of his worst performances because of how ill he was. Just shows how incredible he is ❤

[@dennisthigpen5614]

I watched an interview he did with Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice and at the time he had a lesion on his left vocal cord.

[@markmorrisjones62]

You are the only reviewer that has picked up on the tongue technique that David employs to produce those overtones. Every other reviewer, that I’ve watched, thought the engineer had kicked the Autotune in. You certainly know your stuff. Great review

[@mmoore2006]

on here they actually did kick in autotune, after David expressly didn't want it, hence the glare to the stage crew. They did it because he was sick and didn't think he could pull it off on his own. For that reason, it's why I prefer the original video to this version.

[@MadKurupt]

true, he was f ing pissed they autotuned him @@mmoore2006

[@dockingtroll6801]

Your knowledge of what actually goes on on the inside, tongue, throat, lips, nose, cord etc etc, baffles me as not only do you know it, you can also explain it so that someone like me with NO musical talent can understand and appreciate it..... thank you

[@MordOptiMax]

I find the fact that he's able to combine vibrato and distortion at the same time is mind blowing

[@darlenemcmahon8761]

One of my favorite analysis of Disturbed sound of silence. Clear explanation of the techniques he used.

[@Bustefaen]

Yes, David Draiman is a very good singer. You, on the other hand, are INSANELY good. It is quite mindblowing how you can analyze, illustrate and emulate any vocal technique out there - and be hugely funny, quirky and entertaining at the same time. Thank you!

[@tracywallis1400]

Have a look at FVM other channel Lolli Wren to hear her version of lilac wine

[@emileewooten3874]

I've watched hundreds of reactions..you floored me by pointing out he was holding back early to build later. Only the top vocal coaches mention that; your reaction was spot on with the "odd" and "true"!

[@robertramos8585]

I get chills every time I hear this song. Best cover in history.

[@natecranmer4816]

Valid argument, but may I recommend a song called hurt, covered by the man in black.

[@highlightshadow]

His vocal performance on this is staggering. The orchestra builds with him but he controls the mood of the song perfectly. When he really lets loose it injects emotion too even with the distrortion. Just screams passion. Still brings a tear because of the song but the performance adds so much too. One of the few times when a cover performance surpasses the original

[@GRedgold]

I didn't even notice that he was selectively leaving notes un-distorted when he got to that part of the song. Your analysis of performances like this is ridiculously impressive! Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos!

[@toric6185]

Agreed! I replayed it multiple times to hear the un-distortion (if that's a word...🤔) and really appreciate his use of vocal cords. Fantastic.

[@melvinyoung3474]

This version sucks, Simon &Garfunkel does such a beautiful rension,it'll make you cry.

[@foxandscout]

@@melvinyoung3474 Paul Simon was so moved he called Draiman to tell him how incredible it is and recommended it on his site. So there’s that.

Absolutely love his version of this song. I think his interpretation gives the words the gravitas they deserve. David Draiman is a trained cantor, which I think shows, but you still have to have the voice. If you'd like to experience his full power, you might enjoy "Down With The Sickness" They also do another beautiful song called "Hold On To Memories". The live version always leaves me in tears. Happy New Year to you.

[@heatherarmstead]

Hold on to Memories always has me bawling. That and The Light.

[@RexRegisPeter]

I agree on the "Down with the sickness" but make sure you listen to the whole uncut version.

[@CosmicPhilosopher]

The S&G version is beautiful, but they take it in a more "pleading" direction. Draiman brings a note of anger in his performance. It's a perfect way to take the exact same song, but emphasize something slightly different to make it your own. It speaks to the power of the song that there are multiple, valid ways to perform it.

[@joshmonasterio5247]

[@skepto-o-punk8286]

OMG! That demonstration of the “tongue manipulation” was fantastic. The overtones popped - it was almost Throat-Singing-esque.

[@Fizz-Pop]

Not listened to Disturbed in a decade or more. Nice to know he can sing really nicely. Great vocal dissection too. No other vocal coaches come close.

[@craven1927]

Darkness. Last song, second album. 2002.

[@bobogus7559]

And this was him on a bad day - he actually had the flu during this performance.

[@alanzimmerman1674]

The great thing about watching vocal coach reactions to masterpieces such as this one is that each of you picks out a different aspect of the song/technique to focus on. I've learned so much just watching Disturbed and Jinjer reaction videos! Great reaction! But you haven't truly experienced Disturbed until you get to "Down with the Sickness!"

[@gregkoch6129]

If you have not seen the official video it is a must. I love the energy you put into your reactions

[@ruthiewohlforth5464]

David Draiman has unbelievable vocal control....amazing!! A powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do and he makes it look so damn easy! He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before........just hauntingly beautiful and pure tonal properties to it! An awesome talent. Loved your reaction and your take on the performance.

[@danielauto3767]

I hope you also watch the official music video of this song, even if you don't react to it, so you can see the difference. The visuals are haunting. Sound of Silence was the first time I heard of Disturbed so I was shocked when I listened to another song of theirs, Down With the Sickness, and realized they are a metal band. Totally different sound. Take a listen if you haven't already. I always appreciate what I learn when I watch your reactions. Thanks!

I have been reacting to your reactions for quite some time and, I must confess, they keep getting better each time. Aside from your spot on assessments of vocal techniques, laryngeal gymnastics and breath controls, your passionate enthusiasm of your craft is contagious. At times I have more fun watching the awe and excitement you project as you truly enjoy yourself than I do listening to the song itself. I find that unique and refreshing and I look forward to your next video. Please keep doing what you do best and have yourself a fantastic new year, Cheers.

Fun fact. His aunt made him take voice lessons as a child. That's how he did "scream" music (I LOVE old school disturbed btw). When I first head this song (original by Simon n Garfunkel) I teared up.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING cover and def on my everyday playlist!

Each time the lighting brings those instrucments in when, also each time David raises the power of his voice. Just amazing.

David Draiman has one of the coolest voices in rock from the early 2000s. I got to see Disturbed in small auditorium and it was amazingly intimate and kicked ass! They took several 70/80s tunes and rocked them out. They did this one that was originally Simon and Garfunkel. They did Shout by Tears of Fears. And they did Land of Confusion by Genesis. And they did them justice.

I've been a huge fan of Disturbed and their front man David Draiman for quite a while. I truly believe this is one of the greatest covers of a song ever. Even Paul Siman, the writer of the original song, has publicly said the song now belongs to Disturbed. If you're interested in hearing the band in all its glory, "Down with the Sickness" is an amazing journey of not only how David has mastered the vocal fry, but how quickly he can change between his singing voices. The band also does a song called "Hold on to Memories". It displays David's very pure voice. Thanks for the amazing video.

I became addicted after hearing Draiman's acapella version played in Gdańsk, town square, Poland mourning Paweł Adamowicz's voice silenced forever in 2019. From watching you weep analyzing Angelina Jordan's cover of Bohamian Rhapsody to hearing you fake growl, laugh hilariously, then growl again (which I replayed about 50 times 😂) I've learned SO much. Love your quirky intelligent reactions (and renditions) while teaching in a way I'm able to understand. The sirens and chihuahua are a bonus.

0:50 I’ve heard the sound of silence. I was hiking in North Carolina. We had 5 inches of snow the first night. Yet we woke in the morning and decided to continue. The second day of hiking, I had gone quite a ways in front of my buddies. So I pulled over for a cigarette break and found myself in complete and udder silence. I could hear the paper burning on my cigarette. After a few moments I could hear my heartbeat. A few moments after that I had slowed my breathing and heart rate. Finished my cigarette. And in the moments between breaths; I could hear the sound of silence. A perfectly still earth. 8 miles up a mountain. Snow covering everything in sight. No animals rustling.

[@jbrock76]

You are the first reaction to comment on some of the things I picked up listening to this performance. Made me happy! I'm really surprised no one mentions his vowels on "Songs." The line is "people writing songs." He end on the high note, his eyebrows go up, and he opens tall and even a bit wide on the vowel - sAHngs. That's not proper where we would typically modify to sOHngs (corners always in - very tall). But it sounds fantastic!! And I loved your explanation of the use of tongue to create Overtones. You know your stuff!

[@The_Cranky_Painter]

So happy you reacted to this. Disturbed has been my favorite for many years. David was trained as a cantor in his youth, and it really gives him a very unique sound. The fact that he did this performance while sitting, and while sick, is just amazing. My favorite song by Disturbed is 'Prayer' of their second album 'Believe'. Definitely worth a listen to get an idea of what his rasp and growl can really do when cut loose!

Thanks for making me smile. Can always count on you. Know what you're talking about and funny as hell.

Informative and entertaining as always, thank you! I'd love to hear your reaction to Aurora's live recording of It Happened Quiet. Her connection to her music and her emotion is right up your alley, and there is also incredible backing vocals. Also a couple of fun vocal technique Easter eggs in that performance - watch for her hand placements helping her mouth shape, straight out of vocal coach drills. :)

There are a few different live performances of that song, but I think you probably mean the one she did live at The Current?

[@gfloyd2002]

@@revangerang Yes, that's the one. One of my favorite live performances by any artist. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4aQf2mCpt-Xf68

I love how deeply technical you get into every aspect in your vids. You don't happen to offer voice coaching (even via remote/video conference), do you? I've spent way more than I want to talk about with people who either don't listen to the problems I have or are so fascinated by the fact that I'm a true bass that they forget the part where they're supposed to be helping me fix issues and be a better singer, other than telling me to act like a fire engine with a straw in my mouth for (????) minutes.

I am still accepting 1-2-1 voice students! Theres a lil form you can fill out here thefairyvoicemother.com/zoomlessons 💜 a lil bit of straw work is good, but I can assure you there will be a lot more to it than that hehehe

You’re such a fun and knowledgeable reactor. For another interesting up and coming vocalist in the clean/distortion game I would have to recommend Spiritbox // Circle With Me (Live vocal one take). Courtney is an animal.

Nice to get an analysis from an articulate explainer of technique and detail of this beautiful cover. And your a lot of fun!

[@Lithaenia4]

I'm actually dying right now "That is a lot of tissue just waiting to be flapped" You have so many quotable lines that just kill me! I stumbled onto your channel recently and immediately knew that we should be friends! Also I absolutely love hearing your analysis of all music. More Dimash (Ogni Pietra or Tired Love of Swans) and Pentatonix would always be appreciated!

Still gives goosebumps every time I hear him singing this. It’s so beautiful.
