I hope this observation on how Harry Styles sang Falling (Live From The BRIT Awards, London 2020) helps you figure out how the voice works better, so you can learn how to make smart choices in your own voice.

Hi guys, not sure why the clips in this video are down a half step from the original video. We just downloaded the original performance and imported it to Final Cut. I'll look into it. Thanks for letting us know.

Ty Sam. It felt you did justice to that stupid “singing teacher” that said Harry couldn’t sing. If you hear other performances of Falling, you can obviously listen to the kinda perfection he has us used to. The passing away of this person very close to his heart unbalanced him. If you see his face, he’s crying (she died 1-2 days before, I think). Again, ty Sam for recognizing and sharing your expertise.

I think this is not his most perfect performance. It was very heartfelt tho and i love it. This song is about losing Someone you love and taking responsability. A very personal thing to share with everybody. He also was robbed and one of his exes died on that date so the imperfections make him human

Sam Johnson so many things! I’ll say my biggest challenge was learning to relax a little more and allow my voice more freedom to be less “perfect” when singing contemporary music. (Kind of how you talk about in this video) However, my classical training provided me the technique to sing in an agile way that allows me to navigate the different parts of my voice and “flip” through them more easily (chest/belt, mix, head). I find that my intonation is more on point due to knowing how to place certain vowels in my voice and create room for more resonance to hopefully bring out more of my natural tone. I also feel like I’m a more dynamic vocalist when singing pop music, coming from a classical background. I find a lot of contemporary music lacks dynamic range (crescendos and decrescendos within phrases) and that’s something I try to add to my music!

I think 'oh' instead of leaning into the 'ah' sound in falling is just his accent. As someone from Yorkshire it would be quite weird and unnatural to sing falling the latter way.. As I'd pronounce it 'folling' if that makes sense. I'm not qualified in any way, just a thought

As far as the staging, it's a big pool of fairly shallow water. The lights are seashells with what looks to be be incandescent bulbs, but that ripple effect is pretty impressive for incandescent (usually use LED to reduce wavelengths to reduce the diffraction effects, though they look to be quite yellow). The piano and keyboard/organ have plexiglass/perspex stands and a water pump to pull it up to the top. The part that most intrigues me is how that piano handles that much moisture. I wonder if it's not a keyboard with a baby grand case around it.

@Andrew Murray Exactly. As much as ambitious Harry is, his music is still quite "standard" in the pop music world. There is no avangarde, no alternative, just pop music but with a bit deeper lyrics and music. Harry would have to really push the boundaries, have more freedom with his music and more creativity to be the next Bowie. Right now he definitely is a unique pop star but his music is not as experimental as Bowie's. Maybe in the future.

I adore Harry Styles.He has matured and his voice has grown so much since the start of the One Direction days and I am sure he still is working on it daily.He creates and sings many different types of songs and he is often very emotional.He seems to like to sing and compose out of the box and take chances.His sense of creativity and style is tremendous and he can be very edgy too- but he loves his mum and his fans and seems like a genuinely nice guy despite all the fame.I saw him doing the NPR show Tiny desk concerts where he sat on a stool with just a guitar and his voice sounding as clear as glass!People are too hyper-critical!! I just love his music.

The thing about every Harry Styles performance is not about being pitch-perfect or being perfect in any way but it's more about the raw emotions and how the songs and lyrics make you feel. It's his vulnerability and the journey that he takes you to through his performance. As a listener and a massive fan of music, the struggle in his voice actually makes me feel all these emotions I've never felt before. It's like a can feel what he's feeling emotionally and physically which is such a rare quality. I love that you appreciated this. Your video came in my suggestions, loved your observations. Subscribed. Looking forward to more :)

Pretty much most the pain science theory for Physiotherapy and Massage therapy for the last 50-60 years has now been disproven (in terms of the mechanism of action). Does that mean we aren't helping people, not at all; of course we help people. It just means we don't need to demonize motion if it doesn't conform to the "agreed upon range". Love your work keep it up. P.s Thanks for all the likes lol, hadnt looked at my comment in awhile.

I judge at an under 16s talent contest every year and I tell them the same and to most importantly connect with what they are singing as to me that far outweighs perfection! Rawness and emotion in a live performance is what separated it from an edited recording! Love your reviews and actually learn a lot from them. Thank you so much

I have no idea how he managed that performance at such a terrible time - his attack and poor Caroline Flack. The lyrics and performance are absolutely haunting. Feels very raw and real.

I'm glad you gave special attention to explaining that pointing out every tiny thing that goes wrong isn't going to benefit anyone. My voice coach always tells me that he wouldn't be a very good teacher if all he did was hammer on the tiny things that go wrong. We'd never make it through an aria (probably not even the first page) at that rate, and it would be SO discouraging. And when you're mashing out high Cs and Ds repeatedly, working on really tough Italian/French/German, etc. you've gotta sometimes let it go and accept that you're going to whiff (a lot). I think everyone's so jaded by recordings that they forget that impressive voices/performances still have imperfections!

Aww Sam, this was lovely, thank you. Harry is a remarkable young man and a phenomenal talent, this was a powerful performance. For me, I can appreciate the nuances of perfection but I would much rather be moved emotionally than to listen with a critical ear. And this was a very emotional performance for young Harry. I know I had a lump in my throat and a tear in my and it looked like you experienced the same, it looked like you held your breath and it seemed your eyes glistened as you held back a tear. That feeling is what people remember a performance for not empty perfection. We count our selves very lucky to have Harry Styles and I think we are equally lucky to have Sam Johnson. You are both treasures. Treat People With Kindness. 🐾⚓🐾

I love Harry and I love the fact that he doesn't only sing when he sings. He gets very emotional and I believe so many of the things he does are somehow style based. But I also love to learn so thank you for criticizing him.

SAM!!! it is so refreshing to see such a talented vocal coach talk about classical technique, but also just sheer appreciation for emotion and musicality, even if the performance is not 100% perfect. I've always thought it doesn't matter if they're slightly under or over pitch, if they are really making me FEEL then I could care less if the note was off or their vowels were strange. So many coaches I watch on here grill artists for things like that, and it is so nice to see you appreciate things like that!!!

If you want to know the reason why the stage setting is as it is for this song, look at his original KZbin video of this song, which will give a clue as to why (in that video, it shows as though drowning in water to show that of emotional drowning). So, here, the backdrop of the surface of a body of water is to show emotional drowning, too.
