Man i didnt realize how much i missed this stuff, great to have you back!

[@ZachAnsley]

Brendon Urie is probably the most technically sound contemporary/pop singer I have heard. Interesting analysis. Follow me on twitch and join my discord server! discord.gg/YFz9bWR www.twitch.tv/zachansleyvocals

You should listen to The Weeknd 🖤🖤

Really glad to see you back my friend

[@zeuscronusson7353]

DO. MORE. URIE.

[@phadrus]

Good to see you again, so nice to see someone actually critiquing a singer instead of patronizing the singer’s fans.

[@annabethsmith-kingsley2079]

So true! So many “voice analyses” on KZbin are just women bouncing up and down excitedly apparently loving your favourite band: it’s just a nerd’s wet dream, it’s not about music, at all.

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

I think the best thing is in almost all of his early stuff he is drunk off his ass or at least somewhat drunk XD he admitted to it a few years ago he was an alcoholic back then but he is better now. Also listen to his top vocals compilation just for fun

[@EllyInVideoland]

omg brendon is like SO cute

[@HackionSTx]

Teen Elly strikes again!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Great to have you back!

[@ZachAnsley]

Great to be back :)

[@Maxwellish]

actually the part where you said he was off-pitch on his “and” is how it is in the original studio recording of the song, it’s different from other chorus, which you can hear in the rest of that bridge part. also the album this song is from is their 2005 alternative rock/emo album, his vocals only began to fade into different styled stuff after the band split, he went more mainstream pop.

[@ZachAnsley]

If this is true, and that 'and' is deliberate, then he chose a wrong note for that harmonic context.

[@tryhardtr3nt]

Off the railsin higher ranges?? Bro his falsetto is legendary

[@Mohamedmifxal]

I like this format much better.

[@maddieieieieieie]

the "and" at the end was supposed to be like that

[@ezpznoob8092]

he has a range of over 4 octaves, also (He said at least) he learned to sing by trying to mimic his favorite singers

[@ZachAnsley]

Baritenor isn't a real 'fach'. It's a made up term that's basically just a form of low-key bragging about range. Look up the term 'fach' and you will see that baritenor isn't there.

@@ezpznoob8092 no problem! Just giving you some info so you can be better informed about this kind of stuff :)

[@ezpznoob8092]

​@@ZachAnsley thx. I think what you do is really cool instead of saying something fake you're not afraid to use ur knowledge and speak ur thoughts even for just a fan and amateur its very interesting to watch you find things nobody usually notices

[@weierfischen]

Hey man, just recently found your channel, think a very interesting singer for you to check out is Anthony Green from Circa Survive, specifically his performance of Get Out (the Myspace Transmission). Cheers!

[@haikalmawardi2429]

I hope you see him sing Movin out by Billie Joel his vocal range Is insane

[@sergrojGrayFace]

Welcome back!

[@janosromualdo]

Videos again!😍

[@nqqthing]

yeah but everyone would sound the same if artists followed what a personal teacher teaches. i know that's probably hard to hear if you're super into the theory of proper vocal technique. most vocalists who sing by the book abandon style which is great if you're like, covering a song, but it just isn't great music to actually listen to. i like brendon for his theatrical style. i've been following him for years and IMO his voice will remain healthy for many years to come. it just sounds good and wouldn't sound the same if he didn't abuse it with aggression and passion

[@ZachAnsley]

This isn't true. Ask all 1000 or so people who I have personally taught. None of them sound the same.

[@kellustzall3057]

LOL it doesn't work that way. This is what people tend to response when someone comes after them "IT'S JUST STYLE". No that's not style, that's inefficient wankery.

[@annabethsmith-kingsley2079]

In the upper range it sounds like he’s trying to sound like the guy from Fall Out Boy.

[@ezski4688]

I'm no expert but the tension could be due to the fact that he has no ear-piece in an acoustic version and he's using more effort to try and hear himself better. Interesting video I like you speak what you actually think instead of just saying "wow he's good" and moving on basically.

[@GunDon-govnodawgan]

As far as I know, he had no vocal training before the "kinky boots"

[@ezpznoob8092]

have u done patrick stump

[@LigeiaNoire]

Dude... you are back?

[@ezpznoob8092]

or its like skiing, technique > strength

[@xX_N_E_O_Xx]

It's been a while bud

[@sjasminchristensen.single]

I guess he lost interest in his music career,🤔, .?he has look like that for very long time, I guess satan are angry about that,

[@ChrisTopher-ek6rr]

Bro, wtf? Lol. Most everything you critiqued is nothing but style. It's not objectively bad, it's subjective.. don't trash subjective "techniques" as you call them... I'm not even a fan of Paris at the disco , but c'mon lol.

[@ChrisTopher-ek6rr]

"His forehead is too strained... not needed. Unnecessary ".. wtf??

[@ZachAnsley]

It isn't subjective.

[@ChrisTopher-ek6rr]

@@ZachAnsley saying thing like his forehead is too strained & that is unnecessary, is a subjective opinion. Does it help him sing? Maybe no. Does it hurt his singing? Maybe no... every singer has different expressions & often things that you seem to criticize are the reasons the artists sound they way they do. In your gay lil utopia where everyone sings the same using specific techniques, well that's not a world I want to live in. You're a clown imo. Learn to point out actual flaws & not critique the nonsense subjective BS you THINK you see/hear!.

[@ZachAnsley]

@@ChrisTopher-ek6rr Right, seven years of college focusing on vocal pedagogy and vocal physiology, doing workshops with metropolitan opera singers, and working with nearly 1000 people over the course of my career makes me a clown. I'm not going to bother arguing with you because even when I put absolute proof in your face you would deny and argue it.

[@ChrisTopher-ek6rr]

@@ZachAnsley right, that's why you critique artist when you aren't one... Keep fluffing your ego bud. 👍 Seven years wasted apparently.

[@joeyandrade4905]

this was a pain to try and watch. pausing after every 2 seconds smh😑

[@Arttekot]

Glad to see you, man! P.S. - The guy is disgusting

[@kylemurphy1785]

so sing like him and go make millions bro. the hate is just, why?

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

well you know people that can't do teach heh

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

I do find it weird a lot of other vocal coaches disagree with you not that I know much at all about singing.

[@ZachAnsley]

90% of 'vocal coaches' on this platform aren't actual voice teachers, and use the platform to pander to fans in order to get clout for themselves. I'm an actual professional voice teacher who has 7 years of college, worked at multiple schools, and teaches for a living. That's why I don't hold back my commentary.

[@vikrantshangloo8423]

This was probably the worst reaction video to any singer. Its pretty evident that you have a lot of knowledge about vocals but you need to let the song play for some time atleast about 30 seconds and then react and point out things. You are just pausing it literally in every 2 seconds which is so irritating and kinda pictures you as a know-it-all which is so annoying even though you might not be intending to do so. Hope you take this as constructive criticism and react better in future videos

[@2029killtime]

Hi great reaction. can you react to Mariah Carey’s Melt Away song by any chance? It has 5 octaves I think, many textures/ techniques it’s awesome to say the least. Thanks
