[@gulayderya5500]

I'm writing this without watching your reaction video. There are many male and female singers with beautiful voices in the world. But there's something really different about Morissette's voice. She becomes the story and the leading role of the song she sings. There are so few singers who achieve this. She is truly a world star. And she's no ordinary soprano. She's the only singer I know whose voice doesn't sound round and tiring even when she's belting. Her voice is a gift to us. Greetings from Turkey

[@GraeArher2]

Agree!!❤

[@gily6107]

🎉❤ exactly

[@marleetaleon9057]

Very true

[@GabbieLagim]

100% pure vocals!!!

[@wilfredoaying930]

Absolutely true @ Gulay she’s the best

[@jakesmith5278]

Mori is Queen! No other artist this generation can compare.

[@BoraViolin]

Looking forward to the premiere of this! This one is hot!! During lockdown she took full advantage of whatever platform was available to keep content going. I saw this performance of Defying Gravity reposted on some Broadway SM accounts it was so freakin outstanding! I've been a huge supporter of this Insanely gifted Woman for almost 7 years, she's so special! Got on a plane to see her live here in the States 3 times. That voice is REAL! No smoke no mirrors REAL! I have never gotten on a plane for any other artists she's that compelling. I am not Filipino and have no ties to the Philippines, but she got my attention all the way in Midwest USA . Forever a fan!

What’s funny is my wife who is a Filipina (for reference, I’m half Filipino) likes Morissette but says Mori stresses her out because she can’t breathe when she listens to her. I couldn’t stop laughing when she told me that. I had to explain to her that’s when you know an artist is really good because they’ll keep you on the edge of your seat during the whole performance. Keep the Mori reactions coming, I love your input on what you see. Thank you!

[@ronaldnunez8921]

This has gotta be one of my most favorite reactions to Morissette performing "Defying Gravity".🥰 Thank you for not skipping the intro, so that you'll see her wonderful personality behind that powerful vocals. 🥰 I absolutely agree with all your comments, about her, her performance, techniques, her seemingly effortless delivery (we all know there is no easy delivery with this kind of high-caliber performance, what with a hard song like this), and also about comparing her with all those divas who are years ahead of her, and that she is now raising the standards for the future generation of singers to emulate and be inspired, just as Mori is inspired by the great divas before her. 🥰

[@shawnealy7749]

PLEASE do "She used to be mine" from this same series! It shows more of her Broadway "connection" talent and an amazing vocal!! You will not be disappointed!!❤ Love your genuine reactions!!!!!❤

[@valpadilla1]

Queen Morissette is the Queen of all Genre ! She knows and has no limit to her heavenly gifted voice. 🥰😍🤩

[@joearanzanso184]

This was the most beautiful reaction I've watched, thank you guys for reacting to Morissette Amon the Asia's Phoenix.

[@johnanthonylara9444]

she is the best female vocalist female now i swear she can sing any genres pop,ballad,rock, jazz,broadway,disney,worship,opera and Christmas songs

[@willywonka920]

She also did "She used to be mine" from waitress in this session. I believe he'll cry again if you see it

[@nojcabrera]

He did 😭

[@janTurtle1]

Mori just seems so happy to be singing..

[@eulaliasembrano1754]

Mori is so good!amazing voice!

[@rey_jhon]

For another Broadway performance, I recommend 'She Used To Be Mine' on the same set as this one. This made my day!❤

[@richardfranz3180]

You said it best, Richard, and I've said since I found her, when Mori covers a song, her version becomes the standard that others can only hope to aspire to. This one sealed the deal for me. When she starts that head-banging; to let us know, that she knows, that she is killing it, I lose it very time. Simply the best!

[@samedayeveryday0309]

I hope you get to watch Morisette’s version of “She Used To Be Mine”. She’s like the ultimate storyteller!!!

[@smallpotatoes6820]

THIS

[@sin8tra]

Bump! You mentioned more contemporary Broadway shows, and The Waitress definitely fits that bill. This is from the same series she did in lockdown during the pandemic. Mori puts a bit of her own spin on this rendition, and once again... she knocks it out of the park!

[@johnroberts5797]

A reactor put a performance of Idina just singing this song and it was good but not her best, then they put Mori's Version after, it was like day and night, Idina did a more spoken version but had problems going back into her singing voice and hitting those high notes, thats the comfort zone for Mori, her strength is she has this beautiful tone and has so much power and control over her full range which is out of this World, from a B2 to a C7, I have heard her do a C8 but only once, Now watch the rest of the stages sessions Quaranthemes like HOME, SHE USED TO BE MINE, and of course MEMORIES the Barbara Streisand version, Mori has in the last four weeks, five new downloads from her live Band session with IMAGINE MORE, COLOUR EVERYWHERE and WATERWALK a modern Gospel, then she sang a song in Tagalog sorry the title is just too much for my brain cells, then she sang one of my favorits POWER from the MISS UNIVERSE CONTEST 2022 but free from everything and having fun with friends and family, Dave lamar her husband did all the filming and editing, so make your Christmas special, listen to all the above and a few carols from Mori like her medley of, O COME O COME EMANUEL / O COME ALL YE FAITHFULL , this is from last year, then from the Favor church O HOLY NIGHT as it should be sung, Mori has sung O HOLY NIGHT the Mariah Version many times no problem but thats the best, so happy holidays, keep up the good work. 😊

[@himlekmcnutt2764]

Just wait till you do She used to mine from this same session!!!! No joke it’s one of the most emotional performances I’ve ever seen or heard!!!! ENJOY!!

[@janTurtle1]

Those seamless transitions...long phrases, and the most awesome straight tone belts..

[@eloidasamaniego3025]

I’ve watched mori multiple times here in California when she’s doing shows here. Her voice is unbelievably crazy good, im her no 1 fan forever 😍

[@wilmaonapan7462]

Love to watch your reaction❤ More Morissette on your channel please😊 Proud Filipino here🇵🇭

[@cherlyjoseph198]

Guys take notes she is sounding very good and singing in a room and not in a studio that shows how great the girl is phenomenal ❤❤

[@maddalenacherchi]

Mori is happy,she smile, she is special incredible woman and artist.❤❤ Thanks from Italy ❤

[@iConic31]

She is a Generational Talent. No matter what Genre If she can only market like Taylor, its all over lol

[@NEO7426]

If you loved this! You need to react to “Home” , “Someone Like You” , “ I’d Give My Life For You”, “She Used To Be Mine”, and “Memory” all from that stages broadway session. She is INCREDIBLE in every performance!! It’s a must watch!

[@MorissetteGP]

I really love when vocal coaches/reactors put the original video link in their description. For me that just shows they're not in it for the views but also to support the artist. Thanks for this coaches, both of you are awesome.

[@alexanderabuan5499]

Oh... and yes, Morissette is the Queen! My #1 for life!

[@nichlao8637]

This is gonna make you cry.. Morissette's cover of "Someone Like You" from Jekyll and Hyde. It is from the same Stages Sessions where she's wearing a red shirt.

[@victoriotroyojr.]

Thank you so much!👑🌹 Morissette Amon 🌹👑

[@SvMykolas]

Morissette can make me cry, and she is one of only two vocalists who have that effect on me (the second one is Lea Salonga btw.). Morissette is my absolute favourite artist, and I love her so much for what she is and what she gives to us. Morissette - Queen of Song!

[@seugenio100]

If you can react to her rendition of She Used To Be Mine from Waitress on this same session, you can see how she can be in the song.

[@HOE-rv6ie]

The more you will cry to her performance of " She used to be mine" In this same venue. 😍🏆

[@MrCriddles]

She used to be mine always give me the feels! One of my favorites. I really love Morissette!! Please do check she used to be mine, same setting.

[@knightchess2]

Agree. She used to be mine next ❤️❤️

[@lloydjbvillegas]

Up to this! ❤

[@padawanlotus5165]

100% Agreed!!!! I cry every time!

[@vlyvasquez5423]

Since you like defying gravity why not check the same song performed by Stell of SB19

[@gas1958ify]

What's so great about Mori,it is not just her unbelievable vocal skills,it is how we can all easily see how much she enjoys actually singing ,she becomes the character in every song amazing talent indeed

[@inanM0]

she also sang the song "She used to be mine" you can react to it next..😁😘😘😘😘 also her original song "Love you still" (Live with the band) will surely make you cry.. 😁😁☺️ love your reactions always

[@yoojin3877]

These are both awesome recs and I hope they see your comment. I would add that I really hope they react to Someone Like You from the same Stages Sessions performance as this video.

[@renealcid6708]

She performs a lot in Los Angeles and New York among other large cities in the USA where there are a huge diaspora of Filipinos as she is very popular among Filipinos but totally unheard of by most foreigners.Lani Misalucha, Regine Velasquez, Lea Salonga, Eva Noblezada and so many more. Thank you so much for your reaction. BTW, Regine Velasquez and Martin Nievera has a medley of Broadway hits available on KZbin. They are extremely talented Filipino singers!

[@2Chua]

I've been "resisting" Morissette for some reason, "the next big thing" syndrome I guess... but Morissette may very well BE the Next Big Thing! At any rate, she SHOULD be. I'm on board!

[@confuJules]

I love your reactions and how dorky you guys are! hahha I love Mori, too! She's a beast! When I heard her song "Akin ka na lang" I thought "This girl doesn't want other people singing her song." hahahh Anyway, looking forward to more tears... I mean, reactions! LOL xx

[@azulita7152]

I have been waiting for this.. thank you guys!!!!!😍😍😍😍

[@reeseschocolee]

super love this reaction video. i still vote on Gusto Ko Nang Bumitaw as her most difficult song sung. i cried with her rendition of She Used To Be Mine on this same series. she nailed the emotion on that one for me

[@reeseschocolee]

omg i forgot her most recent video releases from her channel are bomb - Power (pun so intended really powerful vocals), Imagine More, etc

[@ramjim6325]

All of that vocal prowess in just a Polo shirt and sitting down. It behooves you to check out this Musical theater series of hers. 1. Someone Like You from Jeckyl and Hyde ( on this one she talked about her interest in singing musicals) 2. She Used to be Mine from The Waitress 3. Memory from Cats ....also if you want to see how she embodies the lyrics of a song profoundly, don't miss, and I mean ... Do Not miss her performance of Could You Be Messiah.

[@njbattad15]

Love your reaction and insights. When talking, Mori sound giddy and fun, but when the music starts she goes into beast mode.

[@agustinkintanar8518]

Love your reaction. I agree with you, Morissette is one of the best female vocalists on the planet today. Do you wanna see Mori the rock star? Check out her live performance of Ang Huling El Bimbo at Fusion 2023. This woman can slay any song, any genre.

[@ssilversgs]

I promise you will be blown away by her Bruno Mars medley. I don't think it will make you cry, though. But her performance of the song "She Used to Be Mine" from "Waitress" will make you both cry.

[@tirsocorgos3994]

Thank you to you both, being a Filipino, im proud for Morisette for sharing her talent with us❤

[@jaicaC.]

If you guys loved this version of Mori's, I highly recommend you guys to watch her singing the song "Could you be Messiah". It's a song from a Stage Musical First Name. This song was originally composed by "Mr. Pure Energy" Gary Valenciano who is also another great and talented artist from the Philippines..

[@carrastrawberry42]

The song itself will make you cry. You’ll sob deeply on how she delivered this song “Could You be Messiah”. I’m looking forward to see your reaction!

[@dangiray531]

Agreed 💯

[@gemgemdeg706]

“She Used To Be Mine” will make you cry for sure.

[@boyettresuello4740]

Great reaction Coaches! Love the graphic intro! Pls do the rest of Mori’s Broadway Stages Sessions (4 remaining, in her red polo shirt). And pls don’t skip her intros. We Mori fans love you for that. Thanks! More Mori!

[@steveheckle8847]

God guys there's so much you have to get through because you have rarely scratched the surface with this once in a lifetime ARTIST, theres just nothing musically she can't do, she just manipulates her voice to suit any genre, she has so much content on various channels, ive been following her for over 5yrs now and i dont think that i have seen everything that she has done but i always expect the unexpected, if you want to check out something recent just check out her rock performance at the FUSION 2023 festival with a song called ANG HULING EL BIMBO in front of a massive crowd and she has them all in the palm of her hand, she truly is one of the worlds greats, i haven't witnessed anyone like her in my lifetime and im 65yrs old, by the way her livestreams are a must watch because shes just in her living room playing her guitar or piano blasting out these impromptu masterclass vocals with no rehearsals whatsoever 🇬🇧🔥👌❤️.

[@renitocalledo6531]

the feeling is mutual..im also on your age..i followed her in a while...she truly a world class

[@alanagbayani2428]

Morissette is a vocal athlete! We’ve seen her perform live in concert few time here in SoCal. She’s just amazing! Goosebumps every time! We’re blessed to have meet her in person. Listening to her lately, I’ve noticed her voice have improved a lot. So glad to have discovered her!!!👏♥️💥

[@isabelperigua7613]

She is so exceptional.The best ever in this world

[@OOCFM]

What do you even say after watching that? I mean..its just...next level Singing/Performing. Thanks for bringing her back, and looking fwd to the next!

[@JenniferCurry-d6c]

Gusto Ko Nang Bumitaw Wish bus or the live band video! Both are amazing performances by Mori!!

[@gogostephy1]

I cried too! And Up always gets me 😭😭😭😭😭

[@jaa.5932]

I absolutely have been waiting for you guys to do this one.. I’m not even a fan of musical theatre but THIS I loved.. her other two performances in the same session are someone like you from Jekyl & Hyde & Barbara Streisands memory.. from Cats hope to see those from you Gentlemen ❤️👍🏽

[@brormel1674]

You guys are so interesting and a delight to watch as you do your reactions. Love the way you do it! Enjoy more Mori songs. Take care, gentlemen.

[@throga]

Thank you so much!!

[@brormel1674]

She Used To Be Mine in the same Stages Session should be the next to react for you, gentlemen.

[@darv50]

"She sucks." I felt that. My first reaction to her was "Oh, fk all the way off!" To be that talented just seems unfair.

[@himlekmcnutt2764]

Can’t lie I called bullshit on this. She is on a boom mic I guess in basically a basement and I have never heard a better version of this. No way in hell it’s real. But 🤷‍♂️ it’s real.

[@nickyq.177]

Oh boy! You should hold on to your seatbelt coz there's more songs out there you need to react from Morisette! You will never get dissapointed in any video you will see next that's for sure. Thanks for the good reaction,also learning from you guys

[@wilfredoaying930]

I missed this reaction 🇨🇦darned it / Morissette has changed Life during the Covid 19 Pandemic. Her streaming online has overcome lots of people perspective during the pandemic, She made them forget momentarily about Covid. amazing superb vocalist, the Complete Artist. Can do all kinds Genre music 🎉thanks guys appreciate your continuing support for Morissette.

[@tirsocorgos3994]

During the pandemic, Morissette with her song that calm me, especially when people all around the world are, becoming crazy, I don't even watch t.v. instead I watched Mori just to forget everything❤

[@yoojin3877]

If it weren't for Mori and my dog, I honestly don't think I would have made it through the pandemic. No exaggeration at all.

[@keithrichardson6836]

Someone get mori into Broadway theater she'll pack the place out and break audience records.they even be swinging from the chandeliers. 🌟🔥👑

[@yujihyper6400]

1st time i feel a goosebumps from just a reaction video. Whew, your reaction guys are so authentic and genuine This is by far my fave reaction video of Mori. Kudos and will wait for your another reaction by her.

[@StephenRae-u1t]

I have been listening to a large variety of music for over 50 years and I have never heard anyone like Morissette. There is just something about the tone of her voice, the only way I can describe it is that when Mori sings...her voice just makes my heart happy.

[@schubert06sebastian39]

Morissette's Gusto Ko Nang Bumitaw on the Wish Bus performance is one of the difficult song to sing. And yes no whistle in this song.

[@ryananora8765]

and now you must react to her rendetion of the song she used to be mine...so much emotion.....thank you...

[@TeslaBull01]

Effortless Power and Precision !!!

[@boarbeed4919]

I enjoyed to your reaction guys, Liked n subscribed. You should give a listen to the Filipino girl group called 4th Impact singing ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, They are X Factor UK Finalist.

[@boarbeed4919]

‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ by 4th Impact Link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZfHqp5uiMaSj9U

[@marjsena]

I’ve seen Mori performed live and it was sooo insane! 🔥🔥

[@dadiJag1962]

me, too during her Sinulog Concert in Cebu

[@GabbieLagim]

I’ve watched her three times here in the US and what I can say is 👏👏👏👏👏 ! Love her so much never been addicted to any singer in my 65 years of existence!!!

[@annaleamalit4363]

Partida. She is sitting down. Effortleaa. Not a studio. But sounds very good! ♥️ U Mowee!!!

[@pyeyoung8095]

We had guested her at our event... perfect!

[@Si1v3rmane]

She’s so amazing live!! I wish she comes to Chicago again

[@dianallamas7135]

LOOOOOOOOVE the fact that Richard got emotional! Morisette DOES THAT! I've always said this and will continue to say it, you don't JUST listen to Morisette but you experience her. She can do any genre and she has this great talent of pulling out the emotion from every song. I'd say 99.05% of the people that listen and react to Morisette always have a smile on their faces but also just the joy she brings to people. The world is sleeping on Morisette but I'm slightly okay with that because that means we get to enjoy her for ourselves for just a little while longer. But isn't she great??? CHeck out her "She Used To Be Mine" too. Oh and btw, keep in mind, she did all this whilst sitting down?!?!?!?!?! She really is super talented and I think it's time for you guys to check out her EP called Signature. Start with the actual album and then the live versions. Have fun and I'm so happy for you both that you discovered Mori

[@jakesmith5278]

My favorite from this session is "Memory" 'cause I'm old now. If you guys considered yourselves old or feel old too, react to that one. You can't really go wrong with any of those 6 or 7 songs or any other of Mori's performances for that matter. Some of them audio might be crap though and that should be illegal.

[@janidol]

I joined you being emotional while watching you react! Your reaction was so much anticipated - you were so honest and candid and credible reactor. If you allow me please 🙏 do react on a bi-monthly basis 😊. Said that, please react to her version of She used to be mine - it’s in the same series.. and if not too much to ask you may react to her Bruno Mars medley- there you see how she showed her personality even more ❤

[@dedettecillan4838]

I’ve watched Morri live in concert and man it was incredible concert! ❤️❤️❤️ her!

[@jcpicks]

The running gag is those that work with her say she has a "built-in amplifier". Her resonance is so powerful, she doesn't need added effects to EQ her voice. She's the greatest!

[@maymayvega22]

Can't wait for more morisette reaction 💖 Please do react to her performance in Asia Song Festival 2018 and Gusto Ko Ng Bumitaw with her band, you will be blown away💥🤯

[@rheaaypa2076]

"GUSTO KO NG BUMITAW BY MORISETTE" NEXT PLEAASEEE❤❤

[@jasonbroad5478]

Hi guys, don't stop now.....treat yourself to Someone Like You (Jekyll Hyde) from the same session. It is truly stunning. There is a wonderful actress inside a generational singer!!!

[@yoojin3877]

Yes, please! As stunning as her other performances were, Someone Like You is my favorite.

[@jasonbroad5478]

Unfortunately Defying Gravity and She Used To Be Mine get most of the views...but I think Someone like you is perhaps her best performance of the Broadway Sessions.@@yoojin3877

[@algrand52]

​@@yoojin3877yup, she absolutely slew that! My favorite too from that session.

[@mar10rod38]

When she's in full performance mode, she is completely immersed in the role. And yes, she has the cutest, bubbly, joyful personality, but when the vocal beast is unleashed, watch out! Just a few of dozens of examples: And I Am Telling You (Cebu concert), Listen (Solaire Theater), Mariah Medley (Platinum Concert). I think you'd love her beautiful Moon River (accompanied by pianist Cayabyab).

[@CharmainLuna-d1x]

I love your reaction

[@CJCasasHub]

She's giving you goosebumps all over! The vocal prowess!

[@rubiegamosa6862]

I'm always happy when I watch you two with your reactions to our Morissette☺️ Morissette has many more songs..fly like a bird, rise up acapella, drivers license and many more please please🙏🙏🙏thank u again🥰🥰🥰

[@romyeohgarrido5558]

Resonance Queen 😊

[@angelopineda6890]

Morissete's unbelievable transitions of note towards another note is so clean and effortless....her sustainable high power long note was stunning and amazingly much different in this singers generation...btw guys we're much amazed the way mori stunned the two of you😅 keep on reacting guys and many thanks to both of you👏👏👏👍

[@GraeArher2]

Told ya! There are a lot of amazing artists.. Morissette is different! Yes they are morissettte inspiration and she combined them all! She can sing like mariah, celine, all singers she can surpass them all. And you will blown away by her rock medley

[@ManFromManila83]

Mori’s magic comes from her ‘pretend limit’ ; an uncanny ability to go to a seemingly unlimited vocal heights that make viewers hold their breaths every time.

[@johnvincentsolamo2428]

Thank you so much for this genuine reaction to our very own Morissette also not only her but also to other Filipino talents. I hope you could watch more of her Broadway sessions after this one, I believe she sang 5 songs including this Defying Gravity. Thank you so much again and God Bless you two. ❤

[@profxavier5835]

She is EXTREMELY VERSATILE but whatever genre she sings, she sees to it that she incorporates her style and her tone. She is so addictive!

[@emmylouarango50]

Before that Defying Gravity Morissette sang first "She Used To Be Mine" in the same flatform please do a reaction on it and " You Are The Reason" it's a duet w/ Morissette and Daryl Ong..please check..ty

[@wg1856]

I was so excited for you guys to react on this video. I have watched this video multiple times and it always feels the same. very satisfying! I suggest you react to another cover of her could "you be messiah " as well as her original songs "will you stay" and "power".

[@dayleengay14]

Her cover of Fly Like A Bird is amazing, too.

[@aleanahsacar4214]

My favorite piece in this series is 'Memory' from Cats and 'She Used To Be Mine' from The Waitress.

[@dayleengay14]

She has a musical theatre experience. She played as Mitchie Torres in Camp Rock: The Musical. That explains why she has a great control and can really put a soul to every song she sings. Always looking forward to a Morissette reaction from you. ❤️

[@lilibethmejor6358]

Listen to her sing Someone Like You from Jekyll and Hyde musical. She was also phenomenal in that.

[@JoeyAndamo]

Yes!!!!!!

[@sethmoran2443]

Great rendition of Mori..my fav..

[@yoojin3877]

I third this!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@WOW-ng8sy]

Please. 🙏🙏

[@candycalvero6713]

Yes!!!Definitely a must watch!

[@mimosaberina4451]

hello thank you for reacting to our phoenix morisette, if you want to cry again Mr. Richard try to react her cover I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS ... God bless 😊

[@JollyOng2]

Hope I can wake up early enough for the Premier. Either way I’m sure the reaction would be great, what else would it be it’s the amazing @Morissette

[@pinoypower69]

she captivates you with her singing. she draws you in.

[@dran8444]

You'll cry on " she used to be mine" cover of her...❤❤❤ loved your reaction on mori..

[@chimm7566]

Thats our morisette😊

[@kivennasara9319]

When Morissette performs, she does not only sing the song, she becomes the song!

[@EdmundBriones-z9i]

Thank you!!! She captured me, and now I listen to her Epic voice always! 🌹♥️🌺

[@thatsmorissette]

♡M☆rissette♡ with a noisy day of chaos, confusion, contradiction, conflict, etc...nothing like experiencing a Mori-magic-magnificent vocal performance to balance and end my day to a positive vibe again. She's a priceless gift from heaven

[@BonnaSeidel]

I love to watch & listen your reaction❤❤❤

[@jacquelinejeffery3015]

You should check out her Bruno Mars medley if you haven't already! Also she has a cover of a Jessie J song, Ain't Been Done. Talk about a vocal chameleon!
