Time to talk Jack Black? Peaches, The Super Mario Bros. Movie (First time reaction & Vocal ANALYSIS)

Free Voice Lessons: chrisliepe.com...
My Website: chrisliepe.com
You can learn things from anyone, anywhere and anytime! ...If you are willing to let it all go and be completely ridiculous!! That's what Jack Black does often and this video took things to a whole other level. And at the same time, his vocal performance offers some incredible nuances and interesting things to experiment with if you're wanting to work on distortion and pulling great tone out of your voice!
The original video:
Peaches (Directed by Cole Bennett) The Super Mario Bros. Movie:
• Jack Black - Peaches (...

[@AtomizedSound]

This is classic Jack Black. They used effects to lower his normal voice here and there but his singing voice is legit. Great Rock voice and the pick of destiny is one of their best works ever

[@chrisliepe]

Ya, I thought I heard a little formant adjustment, but he still really has a ton of tonal variance on his own as well... So much character!

[@GraveGear]

Tenac....

[@devar7502]

[@TheMisterJaeger]

​@@GraveGear I have an assmark too......Ious D.

[@strangefruit42]

Did they use effects? His vocal range reaches those low notes easily, heard him do it. Of course, in the studio there's always a bit of tricking. John Spiker who produced the song, is also the producer for the Tenacious D albums and probably knows Jack's voice very good.

[@alexrozynski7616]

I've had this song stuck in my head ALL DAY

Good. It’s a good song

All week for me

[@fenderfox5080]

I've always loved Jack's care free approach to his singing. To be honest I used to think he was annoying lol, but I didn't understand him as a person. Now that I've grown up with him I have a better understanding, he's just a big kid who doesn't care what anyone thinks and that's what makes him a great vocalist and person.

[@IanCombs1337]

I agree!

[@planetjamieTV]

Tenacious D yo

[@SolDizZo]

I thought it was genius they picked some of the most enthusiastic / high-energy actors to voice act for this movie... Jack Black is the Cherry and the Frosting though

[@elalexandro7123]

Jack Blacks voice is really underrated. Even the little parts in school of rock. It's so fascinating. How he can do this while being sarcastic about it

[@chrisliepe]

It's precisely the sarcastic and flippant nature of his character and mindset that enables him to do all the amazing stuff! If he were too serious and tense about it, he wouldn't be free enough to explore and stumble into cool sounds!

[@elalexandro7123]

@@chrisliepe im so exited of also trying that. With the exact same song. And with the exact same outfit.

[@mr.worldwide4758]

I don't think HE'S necessarily sarcastic about it. Sure his WORK is sarcastic, but the skill behind it is all serious

[@hman2912]

Jack Black is totally not your typical Hollywood type. Short, overweight, over the top, but he is so authentic and doesn't seem to care what people think. He is so lovable and charismatic. I love Jack Black, what a cool dude.

[@andrewjacks2716]

Shows what raw personality can do for someone

[@Tylerbolical]

@@andrewjacks2716it’s not just raw personality. He’s also hot.

[@andrewjacks2716]

@@Tylerbolical I reckon his personality adds to that.

[@GunmarTheBlack]

I love the fact that they gave Jack Black specifically a song within the movie because in the context of the film it not only lends itself to further show us the passion that Bowser has for Princess Peach, but it gives Jack a chance to have even more fun being Bowser and considering Jack's past with music and the amount of experience he has that not only lends itself to the quality that this song has and is a testament to how skilled he is, but it also gives people who never listened to his music beforehand a look into how good he is at singing and gives people a chance to broaden their horizons

[@GunmarTheBlack]

Out of all of the artists and bands that I sit and listen to and enjoy I'm entirely the most envious of the performances Jack Black is capable of, I've been working on improving my voice for not only singing, but I'm hoping to eventually get into voice acting and so Jack Black's voices and characters and passion is just really really inspiring

[@WesleyWenhold]

I’m pretty sure he wrote that song and wrote the melodies as well

[@armoredp]

I'm going to go on a limb here and say they never planned a song, Jack just came up with it, let them hear it and the rest is history.

[@ovyto6267]

I finally found a Vocal coach that actually demonstrates what he tries to say instead letting us guess what they mean😅… Oh I’m definitely staying on this channel💪🏾

[@fidonol]

Jack Black is AWESOME at everything! Very underrated as a singer, I would LOVE to see more videos about him!

[@megarayquaza2240]

@GunGirl1997 sure. But it's also the one used in Never Gonna Give You Up

[@stephenreed5091]

Jack Black is going to unintentionally win an Oscar for this song....its going to be hard to beat

[@micahjones7837]

This is why voice actors also often make great singers

[@bluesjamlover]

Give the Oscar to Jack black. He deserve it

[@chacedoyon4600]

And a Grammy

[@jmillio0470]

And a Gyat damn Grammy

[@gunnersa8446]

But atleast an Oscar for that song. My favorite part in that movie. I had to go back and play it again and I almost died when I found out it was Jack Black in the end

[@Pfaeff]

Jack Black is a world class singer.

[@chrisliepe]

He really is!

[@aidenyoo2906]

Ultra underrated in that regard

[@Saffeyah]

It’s like you can hear and feel Bowser’s conflicting emotions, soft side, rough around the edges, and at the end totally possessed by his love for Peach. I mean Jack nailed it! It’s simply iconic. You can hear the rock n roll and the just pure singing from his soul how much he loves her. I mean we never really seen this side of a villian before it’s amazing how Jack inspired this character to life.

[@johnlucas1543]

+Saffeyah Perfect comment. Jack Black is CHANNELING Bowser while keeping Jack Black within Bowser at once. King Koopa is a monster, a literal turtle dragon beast. Reptilian through & through. Yet he loves this rare human who lives among mushroom people like no other. Bowser only kidnaps Princess Peach, he never kills her. He wants her to be his wife & eternal love. But the beauty will not have the beast & that makes Bowser crazy. So close yet so far & he wants her so bad it hurts. He becomes obsessed & the animal, the beast peeks through the tender side creating all of this complexity. Jack Black captured every bit of that reality & put it into his performance. You know Bowser Koopa's a monster but you STILL feel bad for him listening to him pour his heart out for Peach. It's all in how Jack Black delivered his vocals. I KNEW he was perfectly cast from day one.

[@gunnersa8446]

@saffeya Exactly. On thr money

[@Redlox70]

I love Jack Black, his manic energy always fills me with so much joy! But I am blown away with how you nail every single note that he sings 🫁👏😄

[@jakekunz5168]

Jack Black is one of those voices you could pick him out in a room of crowded people. So unique

[@daniozzzful]

[@vieraeugigerZyklop]

When Jack Black is singing...everybody is listening.

[@ferdinandtambungui4356]

It was Jack Blacks idea to have his song and he co-wrote this as well. It just heard its has now been nominated for an Oscar for Best Music/OST for a movie. Hahaha... Epic!!! I hope he performs it as the Oscars and wins! Imagine that!

[@_ac39]

This song has been stuck in my family's head since we saw the movie last week. Thanks for the analysis!

[@TG91ism]

Man, i'm actually shocked you've not done more Jack Black / Tenacious D. I had to go check because i didn't believe you. Would love more of his own stuff being looked at by you.

I think if this video gets a good response, I'll do more. I've been longtime fan of TD for sure!

Saw the movie this past weekend. If you haven't seen it yet Chris, there are two scenes with the song and they are both A-MA-ZING!

[@chrisliepe]

Gonna go this weekend :)

[@bojnebojnebojne]

Jack Black is an insanely good singer often underestimated because of his tendency to play a lot with his voice so it sounds overdramatic and childish so people don't take him seriously. But anyone with some knowledge about the technical aspects of singing can hear how good he really is. I loved how you touched on the ability to modulate tones and getting good at making 1 tone in several different ways. This is a concept that is so true not only in singing but for instruments and music in general. These dynamic tools are essential to be a good storyteller, which is one of the most important aspects of being a great singer, technique aside.

[@dylancole1910]

As a kid I loved him and loved his voice and thought he was one of the coolest actors ever. But I also sometimes wished that he sung things that weren’t so humorous every now and then. Now though I although I would eat it up if he put out a serious rock album I wouldn’t want him to ever stop being that iconic comedy singer/ actor that he’s always been. He just doesn’t give a shit what people thinks he should be doing and that’s pretty much made him the legend he is today. I was surprised to see him act alongside Dwayne Johnson in Jumanji but it ended up being so perfect, and I wouldn’t have wanted that movie to play out any other way. I haven’t even seen this movie and as soon as I saw this I knew I had to get to theaters as soon as I can. I might have to call in sick to work if it comes down to it😂

[@shredhappy101]

I'm almost certain there's an effect on his voice that makes it sound deeper. Probably to make him sound more like bowser in the movie. I would love to hear the original recording.

[@Fourger14]

I mean, you can hear how deep he gets on stage at conventions doing the voice. Vocal after effects might have been used, but it doesn't sound like they were to me. As someone who does a deep voice and then modifies it to make it sound more like an ancient dragon, this sounds like the raw to me.

[@lostecho4394]

​​@@Fourger14 Nah, there are some very clear signs of some formant shifting on the vocals. There is nothing wrong with using effects to get the sound you want. It's like how John Lennon pitched up his voice on Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds to sound smaller. Sometimes the best way to get the tone you want, especially for a character like bowser, is to use some effects. It's not that he can't reach those notes, just that the only way to really sound like something as big as bowser is to change the throat length in some way, whether using formant shifting, pitch shifting, or whatever.

[@SeanORaigh]

Jack Black is my absolute favourite vocalist. He has such power. His performance of The Last In Líne by Dio is peerless in terms of skill.

[@collintewalt924]

9:31... I'm just imagining the wife and kids outside the door giggling ridiculously 😄I really resonate with the approach to being a goofball, creating characters, or even just doing voice impressions to discover our voices. As a kid, I would marvel at Frank Caliendo's incredible caricature impressions of people. I imagine he's a pretty friggin good singer too as the result of all the vocal self discovery he's had to do for his characters.

[@devonfletcher4729]

There's an excellent video going over the vocal range of Jack Black. It's actually stunning how capable he is, and effortless he makes singing it all. He's an absolute national treasure.

[@Comment117]

I usually find it super cringey when people sing during reactions. But for some reason with you I'm loving it. It seems like it's coming from a place of teaching and not showing off.

[@chrisliepe]

Thanks! I’m glad you resonate with my intent: Teaching, admiring and trying to experience new things based on the inspiration of a voice I like! :)

[@metalfan5150]

When I listened to this song I immediately thought about your videos on compression and grit. This channel has really helped me analyse vocals alot better than before.

[@JoeStuffzAlt]

His voice destabilizes, and it's powerful when it happens. I recently learned how much an effect of trying to walk that tightrope, and when it happens, there's simply something to it.

[@cheesyman912]

Hey Chris. This was awesome! I would love for you to dive into Jack black some more. Maybe some good old tunes from The Pick of Destiny. Master exploder or beelzeboss (with Dave Grohl) would be awesome to see you analyze!!!

[@lopolik]

Master Exploder is the best.. love the whole Pick of Destiny soundtrack though.

[@JaMeshuggah]

Perhaps examination of Mr. Black's work in Tenacious D?? May I recommend listening to his vocal performance a piece called "Lee"?

[@setha6163]

Yes!! Do some Tenacious D!!

[@aidenyoo2906]

This sounds way better then it deserves... I might see the movie becouse of this alone

[@Tranceplant82]

Is it just me or I could hear a bit of Meatloaf influence in the song? When it comes to rock and roll love songs, that the artist that pops in my head first. There's also Jack Black's trademark alt-rock, metal flavor that he brings in everything that he does. Crazy song but also pure dumb fun. I also love how he went just balls to the wall for this and he really didn't have to. lol Very interesting analysis! I enjoyed it!

[@SpectacleSpectacular]

I also hear Benny Mardones' If I Could Fly

[@joskeyo4877]

Straight up MeatLoaf

[@dylancole1910]

VERY Meatloaf-y, I’ve actually never thought to make that comparison but your absolutely right 😂

As others have suggested, The Pick of Destiny is fantastic. Master Exploder would be a great song to explore
