Vocal Coach Reacts to Ariana Grande & Kelly Clarkson - Santa, Cant You Hear Me

[@augustmoments]

Apparently Kelly and Ariana didn’t even rehearse for this performance which just shows how insanely talented they both are!!

[@rackelnicolee]

oh i remember seeing a tik tok about that

[@nitropig618]

Oh my goodness, throughout the whole thing I was thinking “oh my god, the amount of rehearsing they had to do to nail this.” But that brings it on a whole new level

[@jholo9922]

Wow really?? That's even better!

[@jonathan0225]

[@madisongroff]

I love this performance because Ariana looks so happy to be singing with someone that can keep up with her/someone she looks up to

[@madisongroff]

also im not saying one is better than the other, im a huge ariana stan and i absolutely adore both of them

[@zoeysworldofficial]

Kelly Clarkson can literally sing anything, any song, and genre, anything and everything with ease because she is so awesome and I looooove her and I always have and I always will🥰❤️

[@louern123]

i agrée - and i love her as a person too

[@kasadu928]

The way Ariana looks at Kelly and bounces while she sings 8:50 is so endearing, cute and wholesome I can't...🥺

[@LoraK31]

Kelly Clarkson's voice has aged like a fine wine. I highly recommend you react to her cover of Happier Than Ever!

[@acb1057]

I love seeing Kelly get the attention she deserved. For some reason she flies under the radar and I'll never understand why. Kelly fans LOOOVE Kelly (myself included) but the rest of the world seems surprised when they hear how great she really is. Of course she's great..she's KELLY CLARKSON!!

[@AB-ol5uz]

KC doesn't like to self promote so she was really late to join social media and still doesn't do alot on it because she thinks it's vain :D She also isn't a diva - genuinely loves singing...and loves to share with others.

[@iandean1112]

​@@AB-ol5uz She grew up in the era of TALENT (not in a bad way, but like, we had some powerhouses in that era)

[@RowellErecido]

Oh, you should listen to Kelly's cover of Billie Eilish's Happier Than Ever, both live and studio version. You'll be blown away, trust.

[@jessicamason4223]

It’s Killer. The full version. Not kellyoke. You won’t be sorry

[@zozodioz]

This is an amazing performance. Kelly Clarkson is so underrated

[@Markadown]

She really is. I shouldn't be, but she always surprises me.

[@clintledbetter]

This was the first time they had sung it in the same room. You can feel the energy from both of them and the entire orchestra and background vocalists. It's electric.

[@MsAmberAnne]

Kelly just did a live version of this by herself on The Voice! You should watch Kelly’s Christmas special. She’s amazing! I think Kelly and Ariana together are pure magic!

[@emilythomas2577]

Kelly’s voice is just perfection 🎄

[@drewveflin2842]

i was gonna comment that it seems like ariana and kelly just walked in and sang perfectly and left because they are so professional and then i found out that they literally didn’t need to rehearse. amazing

[@odakotarose]

it always cracks me up when people watch kelly clarkson sing something live and end up like 🤯🤯🤯 she's a vocal beast but she's super lowkey about it and it takes watching her live to really get it. it's why she and her team on the voice doing john legend's "u move i move" lives in my head rent free lol.

[@15LA0]

He needs to react to that 😭😭

[@vic_cresss]

Kelly’s voice is so effortlessly powerful ! Wow

[@cam4894]

This performance is absolutely amazing! I'm so glad you were impressed by Kelly Clarkson. I saw her in concert like 10 years ago and was really impressed, even my mom (who is hard to impress) was impressed.

[@DeityOfValor]

I agree listening to performances like these just gives me a jolt of inspired passion. Makes me want to take vocal lessons

[@ElizabethDeRazzoNiemann]

I’m so happy you reacted to this! These ladies killed this performance. Individually brilliant and just as amazing singing together. One of my new holiday classics for sure! Please react to more Kelly Clarkson. I would love to hear you break down her vocal technique more. I would recommend anything from her Nashville Sessions starting with Meaning of Life, or really any of her Kellyokes but would start with Falling, Leave the Door Open, Ring My Bell, Dancing Queen, Happier Than Ever, With A Little Help From My Friends, Mas O Menos Antes, When You Wish Upon a Star, Queen of the Night, and for a little Ari love check out her cover of 7 Rings. Plus check out her team performance of U Move I Move. It’s a long list lol but totally worth it! Please and thank you! ❤

[@MarinaHeath]

please more kelly content!!! i swear this is my favorite video you've done all year. this performance is peak and kelly's longevity in a vocal and entertainment career is just so underrated and so applaudable.

[@frankied.roosevelt6232]

Yass! Kelly is the Freddie Mercury of today. Always improving; always learning and self bettering her technique! You can't convince me otherwise. She's quite literally the one celebrity I would die to meet!

[@MLT-530]

Also, I think of you did you wouldn't be disappointed. She seems genuinely lovely and charming.

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Kelly just has a natural powerhouse of a voice I think, but her classical training certainly gave her a foundation to build on. She’s talked about how she struggled a bit (in the early early days) finding her pop/rock voice. I love watching her warm ups and her coaching of other singers. I would absolutely love for her to have a show of her own working with singers. It’s annoying to say she’s “underrated” because I don’t think she is, I think anyone who knows what it takes to be a great singer knows Kelly is one of the best in the business, but I do think it’s precisely because she makes it seem so effortless and she isn’t all about the vocal tricks and fireworks that she doesn’t get on the radar of the social media vocal sorts as much as the Ariana’s, etc. There is nothing she can’t sing. I think her Kellyoke has more than proven that point by now. I love her and Ari together. They compliment one another so well and they seem to have a natural chemistry and ease with one another’s styles and voices. It never ever feels like a battle of the belters, they genuinely make on another sound gorgeous. Oh, also, the backing vocals are soooo good on this. They’re impeccable. Backing vocals don’t get the love they deserve for making the star sound even better by adding that “oomph” to the notes where it makes the sound just that much juicier. And most of the time the listening audience doesn’t even notice it.

[@crisr628]

I really think Kelly is so underrated, she's easily one of the best singers of our generation, and she's extremely versatile, she sings whatever she wants and she nails it.

[@leslieb414]

This is one of the best vocally performed duet of all times by two of the greatest powerhouses of all times! It's just mind-blowing!

[@a_2502]

Also, I recently watched all of Kelly's American Idol performances and this girl blows my mind. The power she has is literally so easy for her like what

[@rydbthatsme]

Kelly pushes Ariana to be a better vocalist anytime they perform together her vocal technique is SO MUCH better.

[@thepurplepie12120]

Thank you Tristan for posting this!!! I’ve been a huge Ariana grande fan for ten years I didn’t think you would cover this it’s an old video her voice is so good and they duet really good

[@mooblink4ever899]

Kelly is amazing. She blows me away every time I hear her. She gives me chills every time I hear her sing. One of the few singers that can bring me to tears too.

[@katewest130]

I’ve been a HUGE Kelly Clarkson fan since American Idol. Ariana Grande is in a category all her own. The two together are phenomenal and by the way shows that Clarkson can hang with the best of the best.

[@Aggarius]

So glad to see this performance getting some love. It was my christmas performance of the year for sure last year

[@lilachodan4941]

1:35 Yasss. And I absolutely love her doing rasps! I am so excited everytime she does one. She does so rarely

[@CheekSoup]

What I love about this: You can see how much fun they’re having singing together. They’re killing those harmonies because they both intrinsically understand *how* to harmonize in a melodic sense (not just how to memorize a specific harmony for a song, which we see plenty of). They’re also each making small modifications to their own vocal styles as they harmonize to make their voices blend sonically as well as melodically. So good.

[@hannahmaedamgo5061]

Kelly Clarkson's vocals is just unearthly impeccable!

[@awesomemalz199]

Ya gotta react to Kelly’s full audio version of Billies “Happier than Ever” on her Kellyoke Ep!! You won’t regret it! Her interpretation is off the charts!❤️

[@brandir.9757]

Kelly can literally sing anything I usually dont care for covers but hers always perfect, and ariana is just ariana amazing as usual.

[@julianamarques2874]

You need to react to more Kelly Clarkson. She covers a song for every ep of her show, it's called Kellyoke. You should definitely react to those

[@beccac6812]

Kelly clarkson is SO underrated : nobody talks about how fracken amazing she is … when they list the divas and amazing singers she should always be on that list : she’s so so so amazing ! You should react to her best American idol moments, her opening the American music awards (I think that’s what it was ) and her acoustic stuff !

[@melodieboko6357]

I love this song/performance sooo much, I have to agree I get goosebumps every time. It's just so electric and amazing and they just have such incredible voices 😍😍

[@euluchi]

I had a hard time believing this was live when I first listened. Back then the live version wasnt available on spotify, so I only realised this was live LIVE when I listened to the studio version again and saw it was different. They all absolutely killed it!!! I love how gentle they are with each other - even the editing is amazing, giving the band and backing vocals some awesome shots, as one should do! Now that the live version is up on Spotify I only listen to that one :) I love how they all seem so happy to exange this experience

[@raychelgreen127]

Kelly and Arianas voices together are an absolute power house, theyre both incredible

[@Rosannasfriend]

A lot of people make a big deal about the fact that they didn’t rehearse before this… And that is impressive, but you have to remember that that they actually had already recorded the song in the studio, and it was released as a single before this performance. So it’s not like they had no practice with this song at all. That being said, for this performance to be as flawless as it was without a rehearsal was still impressive.

[@briannaaudain928]

I get what you’re saying but even still it’s ideal to practice to make sure they are in sync so imo it is impressive they didn’t rehearse and was in sync and sounded good

[@halfpint520]

I'm not sure if this is accurate or not, but I heard this is the first time that they have sang this together as they each recorded their parts separately in the studio. So that and yeah, no practice... incredible.

[@madisongroff]

it’s a duet which makes it so much harder to do with no rehearsal. they most likely didn’t record it in the studio together

[@zamzamabdi3320]

@@halfpint520 yeah. Plus they probably rehearsed on their own and just weren’t able to rehearse much together.

[@Sirine793]

This shows that u don’t know about music at all because being in the studio and being on stage is not the same thing that’s why they always rehearse before every show because the echo is not the same the place is not the same u have to rehearse with the choir with the band…

[@robyndanderson9293]

This song scratches a part of my brain I can’t even describe it

[@teetertotter5787]

7:05 - SAME, dude. This whole song has me in chills and I hate Christmas music. They need to record an album together, AND whoever mixes their voices has to be the best because I don't want any nasty production all over it that removes the immaculate texture of their vocals. This is stunning.

[@jaydel3]

Kelly's live performance of Merry Christmas (To The One I Used To Know) is equally brilliant. I've been entranced this Christmas season listening to it on repeat, she gives such a beautiful, emotional performance. Her live of Merry Christmas Baby (not a cover, it's her own song) is also fantastic. Been trying to replicate her technique for the last 6 weeks.

[@nghtguy13]

Kelly is such a chameleon when it comes to her voice. The way she really brings her voice to the level of whoever she's singing with is wild. She can hang out with Ariana with her whispy sound or all the way down into her lowest register and she looks completely unphased.
