INCREDIBLE performance of FAOUZIA singing Desert Rose on Singer 2024!

[@brenspin]

The next reaction MUST for Faouzia is "Fur Elise (live performance)"... the version found on her Faouzia channel which was uploaded 9 months ago and currently has 2.3 million views. There are other versions and performances of the song, but I think the great majority of Faouzia fans would agree this version is THE DEFINITIVE version.

[@yanis5976]

Noo RIP love will be amazing !!

[@yanis5976]

She did crazy riffs there

[@frankludvigsen]

YES! This one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHzaaZpshc-hrKM

[@L0C0vision]

Yes, please!!!!

[@heni2141]

It make me in awe.. Her live performance Fur Elise such a masterpiece

[@ju1ietta]

Dimash was indeed a guest star at this Singer 2024 competition, but he is not in this video. Faouzia expressed her desire to sing with him in a duet in the competition program, but the organizers of the competition preferred to unite Dimash with Chante Moore. We are infinitely happy about their duet, but now we are starving for a duet of Dimash and Faouzia :D

[@bengmelea8646]

9:55 The "label" you're looking for is Arabic maqam. Both Faouzia and Dimash have Arabic music influences in their singing because of their backgrounds.

[@dennisacuzar4731]

Love her live performance of this song at Abu Dhabi. Also watch her sing Fur Elise, she's another out of this world singer.

[@eiman23_27]

My fav vocalist to ever exist And it's mind blowing how she doesn't learn any thing about how to sing , but managing to control her vocals very beautifully

[@Downtime123]

Yay so happy to see this coming up!

[@Nauma3]

That is not Dimash 😂 it was Faouzia’s translator/ interpreter during the first episodes of the show. Dimash only took part in the last 2 episodes as a guest singer (he was not competing this year)

[@mafustigertooth]

Fingers crossed for her duet with Di🥺

[@KitaBelle23]

Dimash was present here but it was for Chante Moore's duet on Lose control. Chante was in this same Singer competition with Faouzia.

[@Eva_L1313]

My favourite ❤ I can't wait for the reaction!!

[@Nauma3]

Hypnotic is a good word, mine is mesmerizing ❤

[@sarahj3589]

Check out her performances of Crazy, Grenade, RIP Love and Love On The Brain on the same show. Honestly all of her performances all spectacular!

[@mariaangelicaseijasyanes3508]

Faouzia canta precioso... saludos desde Venezuela

[@bethanyp8847]

Dimash sang a song but sang with another contestant in the final 2 episodes of Singer 2024. The guy you thought was Dimash was her interpreter for the first few episodes. And yes, that was Adam Lambert. He was a guest for this episode and was blown away by her riffs and runs, commenting at one point ‘when does she breathe?!?’. Great reaction!! ❤❤❤

[@EllaSilentDragon]

Love the original so much. And this cover is lovely as well. 😊🥰 Great reaction. How do you always manage to brighten up my mood? Extra points for playing Dimash randomly! 😂You’re the best! 🤩❤🥰 Dimash singing this with her would have been so awesome.❤

[@viniciusjesus2867]

Faouzia deserved a longest reaction with more songs .

[@ThibodeauDanielle-vz6py]

All her performances on The signer were awesome.

[@jaimecruz5199]

It lets us see his talent once again. The best showcase for Faouzia where she exhibited to the world her talent, her virtuous personality and of course her beauty and as witnesses Dimash Kudaibergen, Chante Moore and Adam Lambert. When she sang " Shallow " in this show Dimash was watching his performance with great interest.

[@jeff.howard]

More Faouzia! You should check out her official live performance of "Fur Elise" - one of her best and most artistic creations thus far.

[@douglaslearman1067]

I had just about given up on you. As much as I love AJ's music, given the choice between AJ and Faouzia it's a 50-50 chance - Maybe even a slight edge to Faouzia. 'Singer 2024' is a unique talent show that bills itself as entirely live, with only 'one take' and no pitch correction or autotune. It is unique in that all contestants are international with established work and by invitation only. The known (to me) singers brave enough to accept the challenge this year are Faouzia, Adam Lambert and Dimash. I don't know who all was invited and opted out. I've recently discovered your show and it has helped me hugely in understanding and appreciating music, and I'm looking forward to your analysis of this performance. Thanks so much.

[@douglaslearman1067]

@@itzel1735 I totally agree.

[@hmm3484]

Fun reaction, guys. Her voice is mesmerizing and she is certainly beautiful. I have a few of her songs but need to check out more of her music. Desert Rose was one of my favorite songs back in the day but I think I’m going to replace the original with her version on that particular playlist of mine. BTW, I love your Dimash reactions. I have this huge music collection but I swear that since I *discovered* Dimash about three months ago, I hardly listen to anyone else. I’m so hopelessly addicted.🫢❤️

[@strimart]

❤ Dimash ❤

[@Downtime123]

YES! Angel Love is Dimash! At The Singer as a guest. You were right Richard, Johnny is wrong 😂 ya’ll even did that reaction already

[@EllanaTs]

This was so funny! 😂 Understandably, they can’t remember every performance of each singer they react to. 😂

[@ju1ietta]

Dimash did take part in the Singer 2024 competition as a guest, but he is not in this video. So Richard was wrong after all.

[@sarab7688]

Finally! I was waiting for this ❤❤❤❤

[@zeezeeabdo3537]

More of faouzia plz is that best

[@RS87236]

The yodel is a standard middle eastern Arabic yodel (a bit of a lament i would say) that translates to “night, oh night” (layly ya layl )and the riffs/scales include the Middle Eastern North African ones as well so its not just a throw away yodel. I believe that Sting grew up in Lebanon for a bit and that’s why he incorporated it into this song as you hear the yodel in many traditional songs over there in addition to including the Algerian singer and Arabic music of course. Also the riffs are typical of north africa middle east and some countries in central asia with a Turkic influence like Dimash’s Kazakhstan which is why they sound very similar.

[@cathyhellen5519]

@@RS87236 l always am surprised when people are unfamiliar with the technique. I may be more familiar because of my Mediterranean roots

[@KitaBelle23]

Living in diverse societies also help identify the different cultures and music. If one lives near mosques, at call to prayer you will hear these quarter tones. I love the scale, and the dissonances.

[@noxsm]

The Arabic part of the song was written by Cheb Rabah, an Algerian musician. Sting, who grew up in England, said that he didn't know much about Arabic music yet he wrote Desert Rose after hearing elements of Arabic music combined with Western dance music in an English nightclub.

[@adinet2244]

Arabic yodel? You mean زغاريت? this is a long high pitched vocalization performed by ladies to express joy at weddings or celebrations and it is common in the Middle East. "Yodel" is German. Yodeling is a vocal technique　that most commonly associated with the mountainous regions of Europe, especially Switzerland and Austria, where it is a traditional folk song style developed among the Alpine people. It is not primarily associated with Arab culture at all. I guess your comment contains a number of mistakes. But as it has nothing to do with Faouzia, forget it

[@diana_aaah]

MORE FAOUZIAAAA!

[@hibat559]

We need more videos of faouzia please ❤

[@minorafarouk3065]

The man you thought was Dimash is her translator on the show. Each foreign singer on the show has a translator and this man was hers. Dimash was on Singer 2024 but as a guest in the finale. And he was also a guest star in the special episode following the finale. Dimash and Faouzia met the first time on the finale and then in that special episode I just mentioned and recently they were both honored at the Diafa Award in The UAE and they met there too. Fans are asking for a duet so finger crossed 🤞

[@Zera1917]

thank you, it just says "music partner" and I had no idea what that means. Arranger? Pianist? Agent? lol A duet would be the end of the world as we know it, two of the best voices on the planet.

[@hitomiochiai8787]

Dimash wasn't there.....yet. lol. Faouzia is amazing, I would love a collaboration between Faouzia and Dimash.

[@itzel1735]

Faouzia sang “Shallow” with Jason Zhou on the final night of Singer2024. Dimash sang “Lose Control” with US contestant Chanté Moore. Dimash and Chanté were electric. The “Shallow” duet suffered in comparison IMO because 1) Faouzia and Jason’s voices are too similar, and 2) Faouzia doesn’t have the performance experience with a partner to bring in something extra. They did much better singing “Shallow” live at Jason’s concert days later. Faouzia was a surprise guest and the +50,000 in the audience gave her a nice reception. It was Adam Lambert’s, caught on camera reaction to Faouzia’s “Desert Rose”, the night he was there, that echoes ours “When does she breathe? It’s packed.” Fans are clamoring for a Faouzia - Dimash duet, and I expect it will happen, but I think Faouzia - Adam Lambert would be way more fun.

[@ju1ietta]

Oh, why contrast and compare? Is there a choice for only one single collab? Let Faouzia, Lambert and Dimash sing with each other and with a million other singers in any variation of duets or trios... The more diverse collaborations, the better

[@ConradMacMillan]

I think the likelihood of a collaboration with almost anyone has increased markedly now that label interference has subsided. Only time will tell.

[@Eva_L1313]

Totally agree about the Adam Lambert-Faouzia duet! Maybe it's just because I am not a fan of Dimash, but I think a duet with Lambert would be more interesting and probably more playful and fun!

[@thea-vk5qm]

Mmm, I don't think Faouzia sounds anything like Chinese singer Jason. He has a feminine tone actually. IDK, but the "fans" you're referring to are probably mostly dimash fans who have watched some clips from chinese singer2024 in recent months...Some of them also like Faouzia and watch her reaction videos but I'm not so sure if they listen to Faouzia's songs like her fans do. Although I believe Adam would be an excellent choice among those male singers China invited to the show, it is still up to China to determine who Faouzia will perform with at next year's show. Actually she's wonderful on her own. She doesn't necessarily have to collaborate with anyone. I'm just looking forward to Faouzia's upcoming album.

[@bahramnejad.a.03]

you would lover her cover of Love on the brain

[@hibat559]

[@TTKingsman66]

Wonderful you guys came back with more Faouzia! Too bad you didn't choose the Abu Dhabi version. It's even better. She is clearly itsy bitsy uncertain and not so accurate here. But in Abu Dhabi live she is just magnificent. But all in all she is just great with those Arabic trills and runs and those Arabic scales. It's so hard for us "common people" sing like that. Almost impossible. And her voice and range is incredible, even though it's not totally revealed in this song. But you should really do more Faouzia reactions, and preferably of her own songs. She is great songwriter and she really deserves all the attention and praise she can get. Thanks! TTKing 😎

[@emadhamad1187]

You should definitely react to her performance of her song RIP Love on the Singer 2024 competition!

This is perfection! Please react to Fur Elise live performance next (Not the singer 2024 version). It’s mindblowing.

Lots of recommendations for Fur Elise, but I also strongly recommend you go back to any of the songs from Stripped: Live In Concert from the Burton Cummings Theatre such as You Don't Even Know Me, or Elon

[@bella.m266]

Love and hate this, cuz ill know that i will have to wait a couple of months for the next faouzia reaction 😂. But its worth the while. Can you guys please react to her original song Elon.

Dimash and Faouzia were at two events together and I heard Dimash might be in love or crushing on her The way he looks at her😉

[@Gokash4672]

Hello Richard and Johnny!! Hope you’re well. Fouzia is using middle eastern scales. yes Dimash was there, he sang with Chante Moore the @Loose Control” song. He was definitely there as a guest. Cool reactions as usual!! 👍👏🥰❤️🇨🇦

[@sourceoflight0929]

No, Faouzia did not use any middle eastern scales such as Hijaz. She used minor harmonies on the Western scale - the harmonic minor scale

[@cathyhellen5519]

DIMASH, Faouzia duet. I keep hoping . She always seems aggravated with him. A ploy?

[@tweevee]

istg I'm really tired of people projecting their own feelings onto her. Let me just say this: she's a girl who values her religious traditions, is super friendly, playful, and sweet-not arrogant at all. I've seen many of Dimash's fans making up all kinds of things about Faouzia, claiming she's arrogant and pretending to be high and mighty to attract Dimash's attention right on their fan accounts on youtube. All this just because she kept her distance in photos and avoided eye contact with him. Please, she's Muslim, and in Islam, she's supposed to maintain a certain distance from men.

[@SteveMan-zf7mu]

🤩

[@ms.chuckfu1088]

Thanks guys. Also from Singer2024: Richard, I think you would appreciate Faouzia's cover of Gaga's "Paparazzi". Johnny, she's at the piano for a nice cover of Bruno Mars' "Grenade". For something different, she redid Eiffel 69's Eurodance track "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" and it's not like the Bebe Rexa version either. And I'll echo everyone's suggestion of her March 2024 video "Fur Elise (Live Performance)" - it's not concert style, more a 'one take' audio.

[@throga]

I was referring to the mechanical behavior of the vocal folds in PARTS of her delivery, which in lay terms is sometimes called a 'yodel'. She was not, however, yodeling in the traditional sense stylistically. Sorry for any confusion in my explanation :)

don't fix the tech difficulties, they add color to your RVs 😆

[@VIP-ow3ck]

Technically if you speak arabic you'll know she's not really yodelling she's saying يا ليل which means o night it's just how that word is pronounced

[@AhmedNaim-qm4ub]

The sound in between you talk about is in fact a quarter tone that only in oriental Arabic songs exist. I am not musician or specialist as you but I guess that is reason. Notice that Faouzia is morrocan canadien singer song writer piano violin and guitare player and she has a insane vocal range. Your reaction is high level I also enjoy myself listening to this notes on piano😊. thanks

[@user-ebp3uaisb6e]

Quarter tones don't only exist in Arabic speacking countries😅Anyway Cheb Rabah, one of the song's composers is Algerian. And one of the original performers, Algerian singer Cheb Mami, performed in Arabic. You can compare Cheb Mami's singing style to Faouzia's and notice the difference :)

It's not yodelling 😂😂 it's very Arabic skills You should try Elon and fur Elise,you will be very surprised

[@Zera1917]

The Melismas with microtones are a feature of Arabic music and scales, absolutely. Which is where Dimash gets the influence -- he isn't an Arab but he is Muslim and Kazakh culture has many links to Islamic art and culture. The person highlighted in the audience is Li Jin Ye, described in Chinese media as her "music partner". Not sure what that means

[@ahaday]

Melisma is not exclusive to Islamic culture. It predates Islam by centuries, if not thousands of years. Kazakhstan has no Arab influence, they are heavily influenced by Russia and the former Soviet Union, and their folklore is influenced by Turkic culture (not Türkiye). Although after independence they re-established the Muslim faith, it was only in name. They do not practice Islam in the same way that Arab countries do, Instead, they are entirely secular and the most alcoholic Central Asian country.
