[@samduggan746]

Lizzo is a classically trained flautist with a degree in classical performance!

[@declankelly2449]

@Stephen Brown not really the profanity and other colloquial language adds realism

[@samduggan746]

Stephen Brown swear words are just words! She is an adult that makes her own choices just like every other adult

[@tylerhackner9731]

Incredibly talented she is. Doesn’t really matter if she swears.

[@ketofitforlife2917]

Stephen is talking about the ability to communicate without being profane.

[@Afflicton]

@@ketofitforlife2917 she doesn't HAVE to use swear words, she's an educated woman, she can use swear words if she wants and they're not hurting anyone

[@Wiley_Coyote]

She's pure charisma. Even when she DOESN'T hit notes, she still pops. I wish they showed crowd shots more in this. I've seen it with other crowds she sings to. They're really engaged. That's the motivational speaking aspect with her--the performance is about that audience engagement more than her actual singing. And yeah, she's not just a Flautist, but a VERY good one. Classically trained. I'd recommend watching her entire set at Glastonbury to see her at her best. You get the best sense there how her entire performance persona is crafted around promoting the idea of self respect and self love.

[@camerontrout8959]

I went to her performance at ACL this past year and it was one of the most magical experiences I've ever had. So much self-love in one place wrapped up in a bow with her pure charisma. Everyone was vibing and having the time of their lives. It was simply otherworldly.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Charisma personified and incredibly talented.

[@topgurl9313]

Don't worry, we've seen other videos and Lizzo's crowds are definitely amazing. Not just her own fans, but even festival crowds that don't follow her but are still fully engaged in her show.

[@Laura1006craft]

lizzo doesn't sing, she does a her own musical

[@Rosannasfriend]

I love the literal vocal cry she has on the word "crying".

[@tylerhackner9731]

Glad you mentioned that. It adds character and makes sense for the word.

[@moonray61]

Plus the emotion she puts into it, always gives me goosebumps and leaves me teary-eyed

[@4bfam]

She's a great rapper but I saw in an interview she said she taught herself to sing because she loves it so much. She is musically inclined and a trained flutist. Crazy!!!! I love her music. Just so up beat and groovy.

[@mitchell-407]

I love how Tara always talk to us like we are also performing artists.

[@MiMiOrt]

Living for Miss Tara's face reactions with all that cursing 😂

[@FranMataPa]

Lizzo’s performance for “Truth Hurts’’ on BET is FIREEEEE, she’s such a performance, vocals and Sasha the Flute ❤️

[@tyler6015]

yess!!! definitely one of her best performances

[@chelsey8737]

Best performance ever

[@janetranslates]

All the more impressive considering the precise breath control it takes to play a flute. One thing is to play a flute; quite another is to play a flute VERY WELL in the middle of such a powerful vocal performance!

[@danielordonez4308]

I think the strange "vibrato" was intentional. I feel like it's because her natural vibrato is on the slower side so it wouldnt fit the rhythm of that section so she intentionally sped it up.

[@tarledamanley2832]

It sounds similar recorded so I think it's intentional too

[@marievoiceteacher]

As a voice teacher myself I also reacted to it before Tara took it up. You can clearly hear her become more and more tired and a bit out of breath the longer the last song goes on. Not weird at all, especially that song is hard work and she's going for it hard. Being a singer is so much more than perfect technique though, just loved this concert and how can you not love Lizzo!

[@robynhayward]

Dang she's got the kind of voice that you only get from growing up in the church 🙌

[@robynhayward]

@Steve LYNN ... Last time I checked, singing in church wasn't about being pitch perfect... But if I have to explain that, you've missed the point entirely.

[@jacobduran8256]

Steve LYNN Theyre both amazing artist in their own right, comparing them just causes unnecessary drama come on man

[@chelsey8737]

Reminds me of that Disney movie Let It Shine

[@Das644]

@Alice Wintour what is she? She is definitely not a bad singer.

[@CashCatMoney]

Lizzo is a classically trained flutist! 😁

[@salumi6213]

Can you please react to Amber Riley and Shoshana Bean "Never Loved A Man" Live at the Ace please? It's an incredible performance of both of them 🔥

[@Urfav4444]

salumi it may be another blue moon when she does another sho bean reaction 😂♥️

[@salumi6213]

@@Urfav4444 But we also need a reaction to Shoshana Bean and Avery Wilson "All To Me" I can't help it Shoshana did all these crazy duets 😂😂❤

[@MiMiOrt]

I just watched that video and repeated until I learned the song WOW !! I Love me some Amber Riley she's so underrated. Learned about Shoshana Bean from Miss Tara's reaction to " Make it rain " AMAZING!

[@salumi6213]

@@MiMiOrt You should watch Amber Rileys Covers of 1+1 and Stone Cold as well then, shes truly an amazing vocalist. Loved her since Glee days

[@calebjemitola5993]

salumi that’s one of my favourite live performances. PERIOD!

[@miadenae8629]

tara, girl, she seemed so uncomfortable 😭 i’m screaming

[@Stan_sprinkle]

Ok, after not giving her the time of day, thinking she was a mainstream gimmick... I'm onboard the Lizzo train. A whole buncha skill and there's never been a sound like this

[@yepthanks1181]

@Steve LYNN Why don't we not compare women of color just to tear them down. Lizzo is actually very talented, it isn't her fault you can't change with the times. If you're still stuck on Aretha and Jennifer Hudson being the only criteria you have a rude awakening coming for you.

[@jacobduran8256]

yep thanks preach her statement was not constructive she could’ve just said it wasn’t her cup of tea

[@PopBandit]

Steve LYNN you have commented under every comment hating on this girl who will never know you exist please give it a break

[@Stan_sprinkle]

@Steve LYNN the last sentence is key, "just not my cup of tea". That's all you really needed to say.

[@mironnabokov1646]

Since we now entered the Tiny Desk realm, Tank and the Bangas is a must, amirite? Also, Lianne La Havas

[@mykiamoto7145]

I really hope she reacts to both of them

[@AlanDalziel]

Came here to suggest Liane as well - the first song on her Tiny Desk is so smooth . . ..

[@kiwanabridges3502]

Also Anthony Hamilton and H.E.R

[@crystalcleardestiny8604]

Tank?? Okayy :)

[@Rosannasfriend]

Lizzo is well known to play the flute. It was one of the first things I saw her doing her performances. Before you said that , I wanted to talk about how Harry Styles does a great job singing this song, but he's absolutely nothing compared to Lizzo on this song! Wowser! I really haven't checked her out since I watched this "tiny desk" performance last year.

[@Leinad6302]

I am so excited that you are doing Tiny Desks too. Can you please, please, please do Tank and the Bangas Tiny Desk?!

[@emiliaskrzypiec9814]

YES!!! it's amazing! One of the greatest Tiny Desk concerts

[@lbridge6112]

Would love to see a reaction Tank and the Bangas! Hands down one of my favorites!

[@waffles8521]

Absolutely stunning performance! SHE WOULD LOVE IT!!

[@NelliG22]

Yes! I adore that performance.

[@mykiamoto7145]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

[@ThatGamerGirl100]

Lizzo is an INCREDIBLE flautist you should see the videos of her playing the flute!

[@Discoveringbandsbymichaelnagy]

Always love your energy and reactions here and Lizzo definitely can sing and hits some amazing notes

[@TheSongstress319]

I have been waiting for someone to react to these longer concerts! Yay! HER's Tiny Desk was AMAZING!!!

[@my97ser]

Your voice is so amazing Tara 😍 I was literally shook with your opening lol I was noooot ready for that run down!! Your truly blessed and I'll forever be a fan! I would love to find out more about being coached by you.

[@crystalcleardestiny8604]

That chair miss thing!!! *snap*snap* I love it!!!

[@laurelwilson97]

I've been searching for a vocal coach to react to this recording. First video I've watched of you! Thank you for this!

[@q.8965]

Thank you for explaining that sound she was making in "Juicy" -- I was wondering why that was occurring!

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

Seeing you react to the lyrics of Cuz I Love You was the best thing I’ve seen in forever.

[@winnerboy87]

Great insightful reaction. Love you Tara!! ♥️❤️

[@bbhdd6181]

omg finally a vocal coach who's honest when they hear someone struggle to hit a note and don't like something? This is so iconic I'm so glad you popped up on my recommended! So many other vocal coaches on KZbin struggle to be over-accommodating to the fans but this is perf!

I’ve been waiting for this review for so long! I love when you explain technically what’s going on! Thanks Tara

[@user-li2js2jg2h]

nobody’s gonna talk about Tara’s intro, like... ?? 🤧👏🏾

[@jefferyneu3915]

How have I not heard her before this? Thank you Tara Simon!😍

[@susan1098]

Wow. I’ve heard of her but never seen nor heard her preform. I love her. She’s got a new fan. Loved the flute performance

[@saphiro007]

I hear you there, Tara! Bringing back the Disco Era with that 12:56-13:00! Such a funky groove.

Love this Tara love watching you watch Lizzo! Great fun!

This was a great Reaction to Lizzo Tara like I had no idea about her Tiny desk performance Lizzo does what alot of singers I think would have cracked on I sing and I would have needed oxygen oooooh yesss luv u Tara

[@blackew1009]

OMG PLEASE REACT LITTLE MIX BEST LIVE VOCALS.Tara gurll,u re gonna love it

[@s.matai2c155]

mad respect for that flute playing!! Great review Tara, did not even know about tiny desk so I'm definitely checking it out... didn't even know who Lizzo was, must have been living under the same rock as you Tara LoL.

[@MrMopbucket]

Thanks so much for doing this! :) :) :)

[@demalion]

Such a fun performance, and such a fun reaction to watch. :D

[@montymontano8618]

This performance is given me so much joy since finding it. Glad you're onto it too. I wish more of her work was stripped down to this fantastic little combo backing her. Your reaction to her flute playing was fun. She was playing the flute long before she started singing. Another Tiny Desk Concert that I return to is Tune Yards. Is it inevitable that you will be doing Angelina Jordan on AGT? It is transcendent.

[@alphonsofrett2757]

Thank you very much for sharing your hard work and very beautiful video

[@minceoneill3521]

Lizzo is amazing singer 💌❣️💯 by the way you are amazing too

[@antoniojimenez7509]

You NEED to react to Monica Naranjo omg “Europa” Or “Sobrevivire” live she’s so good you’re gonna love her. She also switches her singing style from pop to operatic kind of like Dimash does which is interesting because they’re both Gemini’s

[@everjdogblue]

Thanks Tara, glad you had a change to react to the video.

[@5hargreevesapologist]

DO MORE PENTATONIX/SUPERFRUIT REACTIONS!!

[@katewood8867]

Just heard Billy Porter sing on The View. The choirs from the Cardinal Shehan School Community and Krieger Schechter Day School “Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Hand” and “Imagine.” A black youth choir singing with a Jewish youth choir together to honor MLK. Tara, it was POWERFUL! If you react to this, you won’t be sorry. And you love choirs!

[@Jenslick]

Cynthia Erivo and Shoshana Bean Did Something Bad PLEASE!!!!

[@damiii_]

YESSSSSS

[@matthewmaclellan]

I think we might need a Natalie Weiss reaction from you! Something totally outside your genre if you ever want to branch out: DakhaBrakha did a Tiny Desk concert and the women in that band BLOW MY MIND.

[@Tarasimonstudios]

Ok thanks love!!

[@crystalcleardestiny8604]

Standing Ovation for this performance!! Her personality is so bright and bubbly. I love it :)

[@occhialcielo.Occhialcielo]

That's so good to watch too! She's captivating.

[@duran-yt]

She was a band geek with her flute before anything else. And she was def running out of breathe by the end but that's ok because she goes Hard.

[@jordanharrington1890]

You and this dramatic intro 😂 Love it!

[@kng001]

I love her vocals and when she play the flute ! Hey Tara can you react to Beyoncé live at City Of Hope !?

[@reginahay4998]

I wanna here more Ike soulful R&B kinda stuff from her. Her growls are everything.

[@archetypalmuse]

To me the goatish sound in Juice we hear is probably just due to her voice being tired? I know my voice tends to tremble on higher notes what it gets strained or tired. That being said her flute solo after is so flawless haha! And tbh I love how real she is. She sings with such pure joy, the ''less good'' notes just don't matter! She's just having fun! And she reminds me to have fun when I practice my own singing too!

[@cristianjacob2971]

you should totally react to florence and the machine at the tiny desk, its superb ♡

[@parkviewmo]

Lizzo was a music major in classical flute performance at the University of Houston. Meanwhile, she was performing in girl rap groups. Her dad died and her mom moved, so she went to Minneapolis and worked in the independent music scene. Her flute is named Sasha and has her own Instagram page. I really enjoyed your reaction! You can sing it yourself to demonstrate exactly what you mean--one of few vocal teacher I have listened to who can do that! You must have a great ear! I came for Lizzo, and I will be back for you.
