Her costume was part of a Swan Lake theme. She did the interview as Black Swan and performed as White Swan.

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

So cool!

[@bartlebyscrivener2980]

I wish reactors knew to actually watch Black Swan Chappell interviewed first and then go to White Swan Chappell singing, because more than with any other musical guest I can think of what she's done is build an extended piece of performance art. In the interview segment she's interesting and funny, you get a sense of her as a person, and there's nothing about it that spoils anything... and those costumes form a fascinating set.

[@cjani1387]

Saaaame!!!

[@hanjis5894]

Chapell is definitely a healthy singer. In this performance she actually sings the song in a lower key than it is on the official track, because the high parts were too high to perform consistently without straining her voice. And I think that's awesome that she knows her limits!

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

Interesting! Thanks.

[@h3k27ac]

The song is a nightmare to sing live. She is constantly flipping between chest and head voice - ignoring the belts at the end.

[@heidiooohs]

I can totally understand this. The constant back and forth with chest and high is no easy task. Ultimately the goal is to create a good flow and Chappel does a great job with this

[@federicochang3249]

Very nice comment and this was a really good “live” performance of this very catchy song, but the song is so hard to sing - I can’t unfortunately give 100% credit bcs there were a bunch of either background singers covering for her or there were a bunch of pre recorded parts. Don’t get me wrong bcs without them it would be impossible to sing it live. Chappell - in the studio version - is like doing a trio job so I think the production is also great.

[@federicochang3249]

Sorry I just made a comment above and Tim Welch was mentioning the background vocals (either pre recorded or live singers)… I wonder if Kelly Clarkson could do this one now!

[@brash_and_sassy]

Oh babes. She belts. This isn’t her beltiest song, outside of that incredible bridge, but this girl is obviously a well trained vocalist. I can’t wait to you onward to more of her.

[@nadabing3903]

She’s actually only started training professionally a year ago. Wild case!

[@ThePickleUpYourNose]

@@nadabing3903It’s amazing! She was obviously very very good naturally (and lots of training on her own obvs) but for how strong and clear and technically safe/healthy she is you can tell this is what she has been working her whole life towards and it’s beautiful

@@nadabing3903 Right, but it’s not like she only just started singing last year. She’s been at this since she was in high school..and she’ll be 27 on her next birthday…

The performace training to sing while running around in stage was recent. However, She has had singing instruction before that. It was akin to a choir teacher. ​ @@nadabing3903

[@S0LAVELLANHELL]

yess !! chappell is amazing, her voice is insane and so diverse. you need to react to her tiny desk, or her live version of “the subway” (an unreleased song) from lollapalooza!! also her latest album from last year is a no-skip and perfect show-off of her vocals, song-writing, etc.

[@Cjinla777]

💯 her tiny desk is amazing. You should check it out, especially since you mentioned backing vocals in this video. Her background singer Mia (and the whole band) sound amazing with her there

[@clarem8784]

​@@Cjinla777Yes!! Or any of her videos, or any of the live concerts posted, or her album ... Or all of it. Shes just really good. Her music is varied, goes through a journey and is also fun to listen to. I can't think of many artists whose music is beautiful AND fun... I go from thinking "wow, a kaleidoscope is what love is!" And then wanting to dance...

[@bartlebyscrivener2980]

I've been casting about in my mental archives for a good while for possible comparables, and I'm still sorting. The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess IS the best debut album of original songs by any singer-songwriter, in any genre of popular music, at leaat that I've been able to think of. So many of the greatest singer-songwriter debut albums have had at least one non-original song. Among those that have contained only original songs, every one I know of is been flawed by at least one weak track. Midwest Princess has zero weak tracks, only excellent to spectacular ones, and the range of musical accomplishment displayed in those songs is astonishing. If we drop the "debut" part, but keep the requirement of all original songs, it opens up the possibility for there to maybe be a few equivalents. I've tried to keep some perspective while consumed with Chappellmania, so, as I say, I'm still trying to take fair measure of the greatness of Chappell Roan and Dan Nigro's 14-gem masterpiece. What I will say is that I believe Midwest Princess does stand WITH the greatest albums of all time. That it will prove out over the coming decades to deserve its place with the other greatest works of this art form. I think it is likely to be enjoyed for however long humans still listen to recorded music in album form.

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

Agreed!

[@Wiley_Coyote]

As you hear more Chappell Roan, you'll inevitably compare her to more and more artists (Gaga, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Taylor Swift, various classic Torch Singers...) then eventually you'll ditch the comparisons (except as context to explain what she's doing in a specific song) because she can AND does incorporate all of those sounds with ease in different songs. She's amazingly versatile. Recommendations: her Tiny Desk. Its beyond amazing. "Epic" might still be underselling it. If you react, do it song by song with a lot of commentary to avoid copyright issues. A listen to her whole album, of course. And somewhere on KZbin (although you probably will only be able to Patreon this) youll likely find her Lollapalioza hour long performance from just a week ago. Its a great contrast to her Tiny Desk and Tonight Show performance to see how she reacts to 80,000 fans (answer: very well).

[@punkuke]

Definitely thought there was a lot of Lauper influence in Hot to Go specifically, but it's definitely implemented in subtler ways in many of her other songs.

[@jsan3743]

[@headupdef]

The Bonnaroo show is excellent too

[@akasha924]

Her cover of Stay.... at 15 years old... 🤯

[@icequeen9]

She did pound her chest for the 'think about me' line when she did the warble - it might be vibrato coupled with air bursts from using her chest like percussion for that moment.

[@LePetitNuageGris]

For sure! I can’t explain what she’s doing (not a vocalist), but I can feel it in my body when she makes that sound. It’s a sound I can make, too. It’s almost akin to a slight laugh she’s inserting into the line, in sort of a mocking way because she’s feeling bitter. I don’t think it was digitized at all. I think it was a really smart emotional choice.

I absolutely love Chappell Roan. Shes going to be an icon, a superstar. I feel like I'm watching a supernova beginning. Now ive never heard of fortnight by Taylor Swift but this reminds me of Cyndi Lauper, especially "Girls just wanna have fun" . Not only with the vocals but with the electric synthesizer or whatever you call it. Sorry im a 45f married mom of 4, so im not hip or cool but Chappell has given me goosebumps and shook my soul (not only this song but with EVERY song of hers, i love). Like her vocals everything.

[@dominictierney]

She’s so good! Followed her career for a few years now. And loved her from day one. So glad she’s getting the commercial success she deserves. The Kate Bush of modern times. Talented. Quirky. Entertaining. You should review Chappell’s Tiny Desk Concert show that’s on KZbin. Amazing!

I can’t explain why, but this last week I have been totally into this song. Especially when I read the lyrics. It’s fun and haunting at the same time.

[@arthurkohn7957]

It’s everything I want. I can easily go out and party to this or I could sit alone in a bathtub sobbing. Equally valid an everything I ever wanted

[@jasmineophelia]

Fun fact! This is actually a step (or half a step? I can't remember) lower than the studio version. She lowers it during her live performances bc its so high

[@kneehelios5520]

i saw her in tulsa a few months ago and i don’t think ive ever had an artist give it their absolute all on stage like chappell. she’s bouncing around, doing high kicks, hair flips and still having enough energy (and breath) to belt like no one’s business. i haven’t watched the videos i recorded from the concerts because i will get post concert depression real quick. can’t wait to see her again

[@Cleverconveyence]

I remember hearing something that she practices singing while jogging. Really helps when you're running around stage in front of 10-80k ppl

[@bartlebyscrivener2980]

I've seen vids of high kicks from 2023 that were just crazy, pro-dancer high. And now of course she's integrated a splits into her show. She had cheerleader envy in high school and some of this, imcluding HOT TO GO! is her just having a blast living out a female mega-Revenge of the Nerds thing. Of which I enthusiastically approve! She was track team in hig school. Training for touring she does sing while running in place.

[@buginatree6816]

I have always loved doing vocal flips I just like the way it feels and when I heard her do it the first time I knew I was gonna love her music.

[@user-oq4de6dy1m]

If you go to 2:18 of the performance (as Chappell drops to her knees), that bridge begins with a callback to Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill”. The chords and effects are there. That “Yah, yah, yah, yah” background vocal there is direct reference to a Kate background refrain in “Running”. The whole bridge draws directly from”Running”, but those first 4-5 bars of the “Good Luck” bridge are a direct callback to the bridge in “Running”. Boy, that makes it really interesting. The entire song seems to heavily draw on “Running”, but I do think I vaguely remember another Kate Bush song that this song draws from. Can’t recall which one. The whole thing is genius. I swear I can hear Kate singing, “No Problem….”

[@amcuevas]

Chappell's backup singer on Tiny Desk was Mia Pfirrman, who competed on The Voice! I think she tours with Chappell, but I'm not 100% sure on that one.

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

So cool!

[@cruisindownthestreetinmy6490]

Yup! I can’t tell if it’s her specifically, but in the background the bassist or guitar player has a mic. At 14:15 you can hear her quite well.

[@bartlebyscrivener2980]

Mia is fabulous, but I think the Midwest Princess Tour performers have been just Chappell singing plus playing keyboard on Kaleidoscope, Devon on guitar, Allie on bass and I think I saw her on keyboard once(?), and Lucy on drums. IIRC both Devon and Allie support a little with vocals in spots, I forget which song/s Anything else has been backing tracks, is my impression. I'm not absolutely certain Mia's not there, though. I saw them live one time in May, and beyond that have just seen, like everyone else, videos of live performances.

[@ericfrank706]

Billie Eilish was one, and Chappell is another. Chappell has shocked me more, I think, bc I'm not usually into the kind of campy, spoken-word-bridge, call and reaponse thing she does in a lot of her songs, but what she does just works so well.

Oo, great comparison

[@bartlebyscrivener2980]

But thematically expect LOTS of Alanis Morisette. In fact, it's inevitable that, like Jagged Little Pill, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess becomes a stage musical. All 14 songs are not just wonderful musically, they are powerfully and brilliantly narrative... bangers, bops, and ballads, all. I don't really have favorite Midwest Princess songs, that would feel disrespectful, like suggesting there are lesser sections to a masterwork of art that coheres as a whole. If you do a whole-album reaction all at once, that probably would be best, and then edit them into individual vids if you want. And fasten your seatbelt, you'll be in a rollercoaster ride of celebrstory anthemic peaks and depths of pathos... sometimes both in single peaks.

Great reaction I have some context that may explain the background singer choices. It could be a creative choice but it could also be financial Two years ago she was working in a doughnut shop and just a year ago could finally pay rent. I’ve noticed her touring band is a power trio. No keyboards, backup singers or dancers. Pretty sparce for pop. In this age of streaming where artists aren’t selling 10 million albums like Bon Jovi, this COULD be a financial decision, especially for an up and coming artist I noticed for some one off shows like tiny desk, she adds more musicians. There’s zero tracks during her tiny desk concert. It’s already iconic

It's really funny that you mention Kate Bush's vocal style and Lana's performance that sounded similar - one of Chappell's biggest vocal inspiration's is Lana! She's talked about it in multiple interviews. I believe she listed Kate Bush as well. Also 5:25, I love Chappell's use of sliding here as well. I know that it's really beautiful in older jazz, but what I thought of was sliding in musical theater numbers! I've mostly trained as a musical theater vocalist, so that's what came to mind for me. I may be biased though, I've been convinced since I first watched Chappell's tiny desk that she's a theater kid at heart lol.

[@sairapasha3853]

Listening to your review was like watching a chef eat a delicious meal and appreciate every single flavor. Loved it. And enjoyed learning more about the art of singing.

i was rushing to the comments to recommend her tiny desk concert but then you mentioned it! absolutely recommended. also just for fun i suggest checking out one of her festival sets bc she has some really fun dance-y pop songs that don’t necessarily lend themselves to npr but are worth seeing/hearing imo! or you can just listen to her album, i suppose. 😅

7:35 If you want to hear Chappell sing a more hyper pop sounding songs you have to listen to her song Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl

[@doug6987]

yes yes yes all the Chappell more Chappell

[@pupsinsbarks]

Thanks for doing this video! Two vocalists I often see her compared to are Kate Bush and Cyndi Lauper. If you're familiar with their voices, I'd be curious to hear your perspective as a vocal coach as to whether you think those comparisons are apt. I feel like I mostly hear Cyndi in some of the vowel choices and in the very forward-placed conversational tone (especially "when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night" from the bridge)

Interesting. I’ll think about that in my next reaction to her.

[@lauryniti1807]

omg i love it when people react to her music

[@SusyStew]

She is so amazing!!❤❤

[@LLBC730]

I loved the flip at the end too, and was waiting to see if you’d mention it, you didn’t disappoint 😊

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

lol!

It’s crazy that I didn’t know who Chappel was until I saw a Gunnar Deatherage KZbin short where he was making this outfit and now I can’t stop listening.

[@Cleverbunny86]

She is so good!

[@dougliner2521]

I CALLED KATE BUSH IMMEDIATELY TOO! Very creative use of her voice creating a mysterious kind of where is she going next quality.

[@CherryMoonMaiden]

Me too! ❤

I just discovered Chappell basically last week with this song and I'm blown away. I love her. This song is just amazing and her voice is stunning. Legend! She's gonna be around a LONG time. Kinda Lady Gaga mixed with Gwen Stefani but also her own unique thing.

[@Henry3NYC]

wait until you hear the rest of the album. so good!

[@dickweedstarchild]

New subscriber here. I love Chappel Roan. Her songs seem so brilliantly crafted. I like your analysis.

[@samgott8689]

Your name though, bro...what a fuckin' handle lol.

[@mariocastellanos4494]

Same reasons I liked it! Great job coach!

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

Appreciate it!

I'm an oldie who tries to listen and enjoy new music. I listened to hours of T. Swift and couldn't remember a bar. Chappell Roan- immediately hooked on some of the hooks and really like her vocal shaping. She's no Amy Winehouse (who is ?!) but she's standing out from the acres of autotune dross pop. Checked out some bios and she seems like a humble, creative person who's more than being a 'product'. Look forward to seeing what she comes up with as she matures.
