Vocal Coach Reacts to Sara Bareilles - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

[@ASmallChord]

The off note on “blues” towards the start - pretty sure that was entirely on purpose! Sara likes to throw in those dissonant notes with the piano to catch you off guard sometimes

[@emidiazcampanelli]

No, she was pitchy. She intended to do it this way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3LXmmuAg9J9n5o around 0:55.

[@jonathangrau972]

@@emidiazcampanelli Actually her pitch was correct, but the chord she played on the piano in the first verse was different from the one she played usually. Listen to the second verse. She sings the same note!

[@bruceleenstra6181]

@@jonathangrau972 I agree. I listened to her and ignored the piano and that note fits in the phrase. It was the chord that clashed.

[@mysticsmb]

@@jonathangrau972 THANK YOU! Somebody gets it. Yes, the note is dead-on, it’s the chord that creates the dissonance-Sara showing some of her a cappella roots and love of close intervals. I understand an untrained ear hearing the dissonance and thinking something’s off, but a trained ear should know to listen for the note only.

[@Jayson_Tatum]

I think she missed it a little

[@annabellchristine1001]

I love how you don't waste time on the intro. I see so many videos where the person just talks for a solid 3 minutes.

[@thenewplayerbegins]

exactlyyyyyyyyyyy

I like how she's direct and on the spot, brings out her thoughts precisely, and is generally lovely to listen to

[@tvdjarley8018]

Idk how long I've wanted you to react to this. She's one of my fave artists ever! She's so underrated and her songs are GORGEOUS! Stop sleeping on her music people! Thanks ms Tara for reacting to her. Please do more.

[@GraciesMom]

Yes, please do more!!!!!!

[@redhotchilifan98]

This has always been one of the best covers ive heard in my opinion her voice is absolutley sensational and a powerhouse i wish she was talked about more

[@fezzik7619]

Those notes that Tara thinks Sara is flatting early on I believe were deliberate. I’m willing to bet they were intentionally deliberate to give a more haunting sound to the start of the song. A gifted songwriter like her doesn’t make mistakes like that so easily. I would love to ask her if she did it for effect.

[@Ozymandi_as]

I don't have a good enough ear to say whether or not those were mistakes that she made, but they sounded so appropriate to the emotion of the moment, that I didn't care anyway. To be able to use the vulnerability of the live performance to make it even more immediate and meaningful is one the hallmarks of true artistry.

[@jelielm.8103]

Sara is an absolute underrated legend 😭😭

[@dinotenorio9261]

Omg I would LOVE if you keep reacting to Sara Bareilles performances, specifically Sittin on the Dock of the Bay. Truly one of the most underrated artists and vocalists ever

[@kalebjernigan]

One of my favorite singers! Great reaction!

[@jessqinn7702]

Thank you for doing this performance. I have tried to sing this version and failed so many times. Sara is amazing. As are you. You’re incredible. Hiding back under my rock now.

[@CrippledMerc]

Man this brings back some memories for me. Got me tearing up a bit. A bit more than a decade ago I went on a cruise with my brother and parents and we spent a lot of evenings in the piano bar rather than the club or other bars. My brother and I were the youngest ones in there every time, I was 17 and my brother was 13, but nearly the whole bar would sing along with classic songs like this. It was such a good time. Cruises are pretty ‘meh’ overall but I loved hanging out in the piano bar at night with a whiskey and coke, a nice cigar, singing the night away with about 15 other people and a pianist. My dad exposed me and my brother to such a wide range of music, and I’m thankful for that.

[@bigbobrogers6663]

There is a very interesting and talented young lady of 15 years old. She blew my mind ... how does she sing like that? Tara, you can explain it. Her name is Diana Ankudinova - "Wicked Game" or "Human" and superior "Rechenka". Her voice is amazing ..

I love Sara's voice. Unlike many other artist featured on this channel, you can't really mistaken Sara for anybody else. When she starts singing, you know it's her. I'll take that over more technically prefect but generic sounding voices any day.

[@monolit73]

Please make a reaction to a young, very popular singer in Russia and aboard. Videos from this singer collect hundreds of millions of views. This girl is now only 16 years old. She has a very unique, very deep, clear voice. Dr. Marc Reynolds (Voice Teacher, Stage Director, Performance Coach and Consultant, and Acting Coach ) said about the performance of this girl: Really really exceptional! Even if you ignore her age, even is she was 10, 20, 30 years older, this is still a really exceptional performer here that we're seeing. But at her age, unbelievable. Really really exceptional! Absolutely gorgeous! And again, not just because of her voice, because her performing, watching how nuanced and engaging her performance is. Ah, it's just so stunning. It's absolutely amazing.

[@ThatGamerGirl100]

Perfect timing with the videos to keep me distracted with all that is happening❤

[@jdcmr]

Love how you went straight through to listening to the song instead of blabbing for hours! Please do more Sara Bareilles performance. Also hope you could react to Jessie Mueller’s performance of I Will Always Love You someday.❤️

[@GraciesMom]

Yes she does a fantastic version of that Dolly/whitney song.

[@kenthawley5990]

I know you've already critiqued "She Used to be Mine" as performed by another, but Bareilles's version is sooooo good! Having said that, I would love for you to critique Mike Masse's version of Toto's "Africa." David Paitch, the member of Toto who co-wrote the song plays Masse's version for guests at his house.

Floor Jansen is on a show called Beste Zangers right now in the Netherlands. Each week the artists sing songs either by the other members in their own style or something that is special to the artist chosen for the week. So far she has done the following. Vilja lied in German, Mama in Dutch, Qué Se Siente in Spanish Well worth the time of a listen.

[@JacobWhitton20165]

You look gorgeous Tara ❤️ #SBIS

[@kire9891]

Hey Tara! I've been watching your reactions and analyses of performances for a while now and love the personality and wisdom you put into them. I was also a bit confused by Sara's slips in this video so I did a little research and found three factors that may have contributed to it. First - Atlanta was city 16 of an 18 city tour, so her voice may have just been running a bit rough. Second, this seems to be the first tour on which she sang "Yellow Brick Road" - it's possible she hadn't gotten the arrangement completely committed to memory yet, at least to the point of mastery where she doesn't have to think about it anymore. Third, this tour was apparently her first solo tour! She said in interviews that touring solo for the first time was scary, so that could definitely impact the performance, though by city 16 this probably wasn't as much of a factor. Thanks for reacting to this video - definitely think the message about no one being perfect needs to be heard more! You're great!

[@СагындыкБегалиев-ь9й]

[@stephaniezimbalist3757]

I'm not sure how I missed this upload. I really like this cover of Elton's song. Since she included this on her official channel, I wonder if the note you object to early on was on purpose or if she was off and is happy to own the error. Thanks for the explanation on the final note. The education that you provide really helps to deepen my admiration and respect for the artists, whose music I so thoroughly enjoy.

[@mysticsmb]

The note wasn’t actually off. The chord it created with the piano was dissonant, and reviewer mistakenly assumed the note was bad. Not something one expects from a trained ear.

[@g3synth205]

I literally came here to ask why you've never reacted to Sara Bareilles, and before making my comment, I figured I'd search all your videos just to make sure I hadn't overlooked it, and you literally posted one today, lol. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. PS - Any chance you can add Sara Bareilles somewhere in the title? I just noticed that if I search your channel for "Bareilles" this song won't come up, unless that's intentional for some reason (copyright or whatever). PPS - I'd love to see you react to more Tori Kelly.

[@alberttenfoot]

Thank you for your good reaction to this performance. Yes, she is an incredible singer. It is very encouraging that reactors, such as you, exist to give a professional point of view on various artists and I very much appreciate it. Although I am ancient - my musical preferences were established in the 1940 - 1960s I am always surprised at the talent which has emerged since then. I follow the careers of several young singers on KZbin and get a "warm fuzzy feeling" when they succeed in their chosen profession. I note you are still to discover one of my favourite singers, a young girl, Angelina Jordan, who won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 - she is now 13 years old. She can sing many musical genres - jazz, blues, soul, pop - and has the ability to identify the meotions in the lyrics of a song and communicate those emotions to the listener. If you point your browser to the websites listed, you will see what I mean about her versatility. age 8 - Summertime: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaXad2eqnpanmMU age 9 - I put a spell on you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKipnaJ5hb2tedU age 13 - I have nothing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4XGp6mFa6dmf9E These are just three of the over 100 performances she has on KZbin. I eagerly look forward to your reactions.

Loved this performance for a very long time - see too kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3LXmmuAg9J9n5o where she sings same song with orchestra: I think that version has better vocals though perhaps without the emotion that the above solo-version allowed her.

I always think it's such a shame when the musicality of a reactor ends to belting. And I bet you have more soul than this reaction showed.

Otherwise you lose the joy in music. There's so much humanity and feeling in the "flaws" here and that's part of being a musician and part of connecting with your audience.
