Vocal Coach reacts to Sarah McLachlan - Angel (Live)

[@warrenw76]

Beth : I've never heard anyone describe Sarah's vocals like the ebb and flow of water. What a remarkably accurate description! Thumbs up! Keep up the great work

[@Wiley_Coyote]

It's accurate. It's a very subtle vocal pendulum. There's a hypnotic quality to it because of it.

[@matthewpaul1111]

My niece sang this to my Dad in his hospital room in his last days before cancer took him. It was very emotional as Dad seemed to react to her singing even tho sedated. We all had tears. Angel will always be a special song for our family.

[@matthewmotiuk2221]

Yep

[@AMikeStein]

Sarah’s always been one of my favorite singers, period. She’s just pure emotion in everything she does.

[@MedalionDS9]

That's right, she's ours. Canadian represent

[@AMikeStein]

She makes up for Justin Bieber.

[@seanmackey8552]

@@AMikeStein Yeah, I don't think it's possible for us to make up for the biebs! Sorry?

@@danielosheigh4793 For sure!

[@David-il4of]

I saw her second row dead center, she was 6 feet away. Best concert ever.

[@leftcoaster67]

When a vocal coach is jealous of your voice. That's one hell of a compliment.

[@sbmasonator]

Great breakdown. Sarah is from my hometown, and she's quite rightly venerated in Nova Scotia. Whenever I hear her sing, especially this song, it take me home (while I am far, far away).

[@sunilayya8948]

Sarahs voice is nothing less than sublime . I cant think of a more beautiful singing voice. There is something divine about her voice.

[@parzivalplays7403]

"It makes me want to cry straight away" LOL Beth, I'm Canadian, she's ours... and we all feel that and love that about her... she 'll bleed every tear from you effortlessly :) So amazing ... thanks for doing this one! :)

[@amramjose]

Wife and I saw her live in 2003 (hard to believe it was nearly 20 yrs ago!) and the show was fabulous, her performance superb. Sarah is a great artist.

[@sentinelmortgagecorp4291]

I first saw her live in a small club in Houston Texas in the early 90’s before she got so famous. I knew at the time she was going to be big. I would say she’s got the most beautiful female singing voice I’ve ever heard.

[@developerchick]

I have always loved her so much, her voice just drips with emotion! Thank you so much for reacting to her, you are correct she has a very beautiful heart as well!

[@aaronsensei7637]

Incredibly powerful song beautifully sung and performed by an amazing singer song writer. Love her.

[@DavidBrianPaley]

Sarah wrote this song about the Smashing Pumpkins' touring keyboard player, who died from a heroin overdose. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_(Sarah_McLachlan_song)

[@kristinseymour25]

​@@DavidBrianPaley You are correct!

[@rishaa682]

No she didn’t

[@brucek5578]

One of my favorite artists ever. Amazing live singer. Listened to Fumbling towards ecstasy in the early 90s and have loved her every since. Thanks Beth

[@joeherald7319]

Good evaluation, spot on. This is one of the most heart wrenching songs ever written. It's about a drug overdose and captures the indescribable pain surrounding that.

[@gfmiller]

I'm so glad you reacted to this recording. I have seen her live a few times and you know what? It's impossible not to tear up during this song. Her voice is mesmerizing.

[@sweiland75]

I was into her music, back in the 90s, when I was a teenage boy. Many great songs like Into the Fire.

[@chasingbirds3073]

I had the privilege of hearing her sing this in concert back in 2008. She has a truly beautiful voice. She is so underrated.

[@kimnesvig254]

Such an amazing singer. I love her.

[@adamgronvold8608]

First the dog commercial, then my aunt used this at her husband's funeral. I can't listen to this without falling apart.

[@RodRuth]

Excellent reaction and analysis. As a vocalist, this is exactly the reason I am a subscriber to Beth's channel.....💖

[@mark22611]

Wife and I saw her in Vegas last year. It was a small concert and intimate. Just her with her piano and guitar and one other musician to help out for a few songs. She talked about each song, what it was about, etc.

[@EchoesDaBear]

This song always gets me misty eyed - especially ever since it played after my grandfather's (opa's) funeral - got in the car, and what song comes on, this one! I've followed Sarah almost from day 1 (her second album, Solace, is what grabbed me - then Fumbling Towards Ecstasy came out, and I was hooked!!) Her voice is ethereal! It isn't conventional (especially those 'flips' you mention - but that kind of endears her to me). I've seen her live, and she is just magnificent, and she seems like a wonderful, very grounded person - but of course, many maritimers are! (she's from Nova Scotia)

[@almaguapa-sailboatliveaboa440]

Very precise description of Sarah's voice. Thank you. 😘

[@rj-me3fh]

Unique talent. Thanks Sarah

[@schrodingerscat20]

A first-time commentator here, I found your channel a week ago (yes, I'm a Nightwish fan so that's how I found you ) and have been watching your old videos. I really love your passion for music. As far as Sarah is concerned, she is the master at capturing so much emotion with such subtle nuance. Also, Surfacing is a brilliant and iconic album and while "Angel" is the go-to "feels" song "Full of Grace" hits me every time and I get "Building a Mystery" stuck in my head for days.

[@kakj1963]

Been a sub for a while. I am not a singer. You give me an ear and new level of admirerition for the talented. Your love for the craft comes out every time and a youthful beauty adds to your countenance.

[@joebalusikiii5811]

I'm a dyed in the wool metalhead, but Sarah is my weakness. I hevae the DVD of this concert and my favorite track/performance is of "Trainwreck" and this live version is head & shoulders above the studio recording.

[@ThePerezHilton]

Sarah is such an underrated vocalists! Thanks for doing this!

[@stupidas9466]

Sarah is not underrated or under appreciated, she just isn't as popular as someone of her talents should be. That is quite often the case as most of the time the most popular isn't actually very good, they/it just had the most backing/financing and appealed to a specific demographic that others could make the most money off of. Whether it's singers, songs, celebrities, movies, tv shows, etc, rarely does the cream rise all the way to the top.

[@jebaker6942]

Great song , this song means so much to so many people in a personal way. So emotional

[@RogerDidierM.]

She's just great... What about Alison Krauss, another angel's voice...

[@kurtsaxton9665]

I've seen Alison with Robert Plant, with and without Union Station and she's on a whole other level. Truly amazing.

[@michaelhoilman6897]

If you like Alison you would probably like Crooked Still. Singer reminds me of Alison. Great "new-grass" band as well, with a cello and sometimes a fiddle when Brittany Haas joins them. Cheers.

[@RogerDidierM.]

@@michaelhoilman6897 thanks Michael. I love them too...

[@GuitaristNat1991]

Agreed, Alison Krauss is brilliant!

[@albert0F]

If you ever get a chance, do a reaction to her song "Wait" from the same event, its breath taking from the start and how amazingly well she plays her guitar, which is incredibly underrated. She plays all the right chords and apreggios, with the right slow pace, and the right effect, it will break you down .

[@ZenWithKen]

You don't have to kill for something you already have Beth. Thanks for sharing your passion.

[@FrancisAristotle]

Most beatiful voice i ve heard,tq

[@gooberclown]

Beth, you have a great voice!

[@douglasiles2024]

It's always interesting to listen to Sarah sing this song live ( I've seen her in concert 5 times), because she sings this song in a slightly more upbeat manner than how it originally sounded on her album Surfacing ( track 7). Considering the inspiration for her writing this song (the overdose of Smashing Pumpkins keyboard player Jonathan Melvoin), she still is able to sing it in an upbeat manner. And she is a amazing person. Having had the chance to meet her and talk with her, she's very down to earth and easy going.

[@aidancampbell5644]

Sarah McLachlan’s voice always feels like a caress.

[@shevishain4376]

Wow the way you describe her voice is so beautiful. I loved how you compared it to water

[@lugarthecougar]

Great take on this one Beth! Would love to hear your thoughts on an Alexisonfire song, they have an interesting mix of vocals in that band!

[@markhermans5284]

A long time favorite of mine. Thanks, enjoy and stay safe.

[@samieltheinfamous]

I think ethereal is the perfect word to describe Sarah McLachlan. I'd also apply it to Björk, Loreena McKennitt and Sarah Brightman.

[@davidmaholchic6146]

Could not be more lovely

[@irvanimanalu7166]

I love this song and adia 💯💕

[@georgehucks2560]

My Dad passed away on January 7th 2001 the day after my 54th Birthday at the age of 90. He requested this song to be played during his home going service and I made sure it was. 21 years ago this coming Friday January 7th the day after my 75th birthday. Love this song. It will be played at my home going service also. Beautiful song.

[@mattevans5073]

Sarah hits me like that too.

[@rouguy1972]

Beautiful! Love the duet live wit Pink

[@crystalrainfeather]

First time I've seen any reactor react to Sarah! I've been a fan of hers for years... she's soo good, and this song definitely brings on the tears. - Beth - if you haven't previously, I would suggest the band Avatar. They're a Swedish metal band that has great videos but are even better in their live performances (and in less than 1 mo. became my #2 must-see/bucket list concert). The lead singer can do anything with his voice and mixes techniques in many of their songs. I 'found' them when Two Rocking Grannies did their 1st reaction (which was to "Bloody Angel" at PolandRock). :)

[@johntoves5869]

No matter how masculine you are this will bring tears to your eyes i cried when i 1st heard this

[@Quezonol]

Darn it. I kept wanting to cry but you kept pausing to explain. Thank you for letting me make it through the whole song.

[@BrianR.]

I saw her Live in a club in Montreal in 1989, she had just released her first album and was not well known at all. Some of my friends heard she was supposed to be good, so we went. She started the concert alone on the stage in a simple dress using a headset/mike and she sang a 4 minute a cappella song. Everyone was blown away, she got a standing O. The rest was equally impressive.

[@juddthnash]

I love this song❤️

[@chriswebb1679]

You are aware that you're beautiful. Sarah kills it. But, you deserve 💘

[@christinegreen3974]

This was playing as I drove to my cousin's funeral after a tragic accident. He was only in his early 30s with 2 small children and the first of my generation in the family to pass away. The connection is just burned into my memory.

[@stupidas9466]

Her voice changes in a moments notice from simply beautiful, to haunting, to playful, to passionate, to downright sexual - and any and all combinations of the above. In the first five seconds of her singing in this video i feel ALL of those things. So many artists that i love and are my personal favourites have one, and the odd time two, of these characteristics to their sound/performance. Simply astounding, in every sense of the word.

[@marvinboswell6889]

Nice reaction to a good singer ..i look forward to your next one

[@cikame]

I'm trying to remember a song that was on this channel over a year ago, it was a rock/metal song performed in a small studio live, the singer had curly hair and he would press his fingers into his neck to create vibrato. I've been through all the videos multiple times and i can't find it, it's driving me crazy.

As for an earlier comment. Do anything by the Rankin Family. Fare Thee Well Love is great, but all are great.

[@NovaLand]

Those beautiful flips made me think that #maskedsinger #sun is Sarah McLachlan, but I realise Sarah has a much better voice, even live, than the Sun have. Sarah's almums, Solace, afterglow, shine on, could make you think she have a thing for suns.. :P

[@robertjans1713]

Having done setup for one of her concerts, meeting her, and sitting front row, I can tell you that everything you said is completely true. There are many more of her songs I hope you do. There is also Susan Aglukark that you should check out, she is from the North West Territory’s and has a lovely voice as well.

[@johnkotches8320]

Something I have yet to see mentioned in the few months since this is out. This is a live performance. There aren't 37 takes of this one line to get it absolutely perfect. One take, right now... oh and while she's playing the piano accompaniment. As a wind instrumentalist who only has to make sound out of one instrument I'm in awe of the skills.

[@markhamilton8765]

This is a great observation...and I totally agree!!

[@6916dog]

And she wrote lyrics and composed the music too. Collaborating with others naturally
