Yeah Sia was sick that day and she said she cried before she went on stage because she knew she wouldn’t be able to hit the notes

[@Katon78Poland]

some songs are so difficult to sing live......

[@PlumbPitiful]

So many singers use the "I was sick that day" excuse when they have a bad performance that it's starting to lose credibility.

[@lewiswoodhall]

Mariah was sick on her bad one too and a few weeks later she hit the high notes perfectly in that same song

[@mashafury149]

@@PlumbPitiful but not Sia though

[@davezedman]

Man I love your channel! You are so fun to listen to and you are always encouraging :)

[@easytosay9805]

Just because it says their worst performance doesn't mean it's bad, it just not their best

[@BethRoars]

Cypher_thekip well it certainly was the case! A lot of great performers x

[@ultslipknot]

Great vid, great opinions and insights!

[@ahighhorseman]

I appreciate how she contextualizes all of the performances because she actually knows what's involved in singing at such a level. So easy, and stupid, to be sharply critical when you've got no idea what it takes.

[@onomuknub]

What's frustrating with those videos, aside from them seeming a bit arbitrary, is for the "worst" recording, they've isolated the vocals where they haven't for the "best." If they wanted to do a fair comparison, they should do isolated vocals or backing singer/click track for both.

[@SeaLemonsUK]

I’m probably a bit late to the vid for you to read my comment, Beth but it’s cool to see you rocking the Olly Arnalds album on the shelf. For Now I Am Winter is a classic for me 🙌🏼

[@siapolicia1530]

Sia was so sick that day... But it was a tv live show, she couldn't quit. She cried in backstage because che could barely speak that day but she did her best on stage. She is such a pro and such an amazing human being!

[@michelle88960]

At least she performed many others would have just let their fans down. Everyone has an off day, but even Sia"s off day is far better than my best day!

[@cesardelangel2434]

Thank you so much for your most Honest Opinion. I mean, we can easily judge as simple listeners, when you on the other hand are more empathic of a singer and think of possible circumstances. Hello From North Carolina

[@danitaroberts5751]

Luv this. You’re Able to critique without Hating. ..Because you Know What they’re and how hard things can be. ..And like ya said everyone has Bad Days. 🤛🏾

[@almostfm]

6:23 You're right about the mic-those Shure SM-7B mics are great for all kinds of vocal work. It's why a lot of radio stations use them

[@jrobertlysaght]

Katy Perry on that outdoor performance reminds me of a "leaked" vocal by Enrique Eglasias. He talked about how on these outdoor good morning america type shows you can not hear anything, not yourself, and they are often using a prerecorded track, but to get into it he had to sing for real, even though he could not hear himself, and so you get what we got with Katy Perry, I think.

[@rozabkmerza3920]

thank you yes! they have bad days, sometimes their voices get tired people seem to forget they are all human

[@aggrozen7467]

The isolated recordings of a singer's (or musician's) earpiece monitor sometimes makes you wonder how they perform at all.

[@arbojo123]

is hard to stay focus when i see those beautiful blue eyes ahahahaahhahaah as always, is a great video

[@Flacacita95]

Mairah had bronchitis during that performance :/ She absolutely slayed a few days after that, though. Loved your reaction! New sub❤️

[@evil8569]

Actually , she had just got dumped by her boyfriend before that performance and cried.

[@bobturner2312]

e vil not her boyfriend, her husband😳and she dumped him because she found out someone else was pregnant with his child

[@ellielovesbands]

I thought it was fake

[@ii7670]

@@bobturner2312 That is not what happened. She just got done signing divorce papers and she was sick.

[@bobturner2312]

Arrow ik she didn't found out that day he cheated, but if she'd just signed the papers she'd be extremely emotional, with the bipolar disorder too

[@kabpoetry]

I'd love to see you react to Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius. I've seen them live so many times, and they're on fucking point every time. They are more in synch than any two singers I've ever heard in my life.

[@furangel]

Beth have you reacted to Selena? Especially her big concert in huston

[@roiaknin]

I really don't think that Taylor lipped that... And the Sia first one was because she was super sick that day, but didn't want to cancle on all the fans who were already out there.. She did that to all the songs that performance, it was a mess, but good for her for thinking of her fans, and for not lipping.

[@easytosay9805]

Hey I'm a new subscriber and I was wondering if you could make videos reviewing singers best vocals. Also starting with Rihanna cuz she's my fav artist... You don't have to if you don't want to of course....

Miley had a cold on the 'best' one

[@josemorales5117]

Yes you said it Beth, most people that critic this singers don't have an idea of what is to sing and specially singing and dancing or moving at the same time

[@manifestgtr]

The Katy Perry one isn’t fair...Beth definitely picked up on that. But here’s the deal. That was a board mix. Very little music, no ambience, nothing. Live board mixes sound awful if you’re even the tiniest bit off and that goes for any instrument. They’re brutally unforgiving in every possible way. Ambience is super important when it comes to our perception of sound. Even when you’re in a small room, the sound coming back at you from the walls, floor and ceiling have a major influence on what you’re hearing. So when we hear something like a board mix, it sounds very unnatural, sterile and “bad”. I can guarantee that what the crowd heard was 1000% better...and only for the fact that it had ambience and musical context.

[@dead_beatbunny]

Maybe not in this particukar case, but Katy Perry gives consistently awful live performances if you watch a lot of her videos.

[@BryNeal1]

when I have an off night, I know it & it affects my confidence which in turn affects my performance. But when I'm on...I'm on. it's the on times that keeps me going

[@miawerz]

you should react to "bad" singer's best vocals

[@mix6809]

You're right, it's easy to mock a bad performance, but as u say most of them have worked very hard with their voices to be where they are. And some popular singers are bad singers who rely on technology to save them...

[@syruzgamboaapeda2340]

Hi! I've watched a lot of your vids specially when ari is involved on it and i just want to suggest that you react to Ariana Grande almost forgot that she's a human or best live performances i think you should react to a lot of aris live performances i think that you would be blown away thanks 😘😘

Check out Paula Cole with Peter Gabriel on "Don't Give Up" from "Secret World Live"!

[@thiguet55]

The worst always comes in vocal isolation and the second one comes with the full audio and good mixed. It makes hard to do the judgement from there. Maybe if both were in vocal isolation it would be better for us to hear only the singer. And even when you're singing out of tune it could sound perfect on the final mix.

[@hazelangus]

I quite like hearing duff notes, to be honest. Not too many of them, but the occasional duff note suggests they're singing live.

[@Lex-jj7hb]

I don't think the second Taylor Swift performance was lip synced. You said the back bend thing is hard to support, but that's kind of Taylor's thing for hitting high notes. She leans back and tilts her mic. Also, in other points of that performance, you could tell she was singing live by her laughing mid-word. But, I could be wrong 🤷‍♀️.

[@sass_king5576]

Alexis Ford yes taylor doesn’t lipsync

I mean put other vid in her best.

[@steved1387]

I thought she did good on that sick performance, After se belted that note her throat was harshed out, though,, and she had to build back her strength. Her best live is "I'll take care of you" at Sydney Opera House.

[@clansome]

When Mariah first came to folk's notice a lot of it was due to here only singing TV shows live, MTV Unplugged was just such an occasion. Lip syncing wasn't so convincing back in the early 90's especially for a solo vocalist Video is here btw kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3rXZJeuacahb8U

Wow...until Mariah Carey I couldn't have named any of them! I'm old, I prefer the Deep Purple, Focus, and all the other classic rock reviews you do. Having said that, can't some of the performances by the ladies be influenced by equipment, venues etc. as well as being sick or having an off day etc. One of the worst was the gal singing in the street (maybe on some morning TV show?), so maybe they just through a quick audio rig together and the music didn't bounce around like indoors it just sailed off into the abyss of our atmosphere. On the old note, does anyone make music with instruments anymore or is it all just computer generated cr@p?
