He must have a sore throat every time he performs then because he always struggles with high notes.

[@fsobeh]

I feel like sometimes people mistake that ‘Rasp’ for him not being able to vocally perform whereas he was actually intending to have that rasp. Whether y’all like him or hate him, he is obviously successful for a reason. He has a different kind of voice that most people aren’t used to with pop music so it’s easy to shoot it down, but he is obviously talented and seems to be improving as a vocalist.

[@THOMAS2910able]

The main reason he's famous is because teen girls think he's pretty though, but I really do like. His voice that being said and have a few of his songs on my phone. Though the coach is haggling, as long as he sounds good I've got no issues.

[@robmaupome]

He isn’t hating on Shawn, he’s a vocal coach and is just giving feedback. Shawn is amazing, but there’s always something to improve. Just because he is giving feedback doesn’t mean he’s hating or saying he’s singing bad, it’s just feedback that could make it even more amazing.

[@Bs4Christ]

yeah he can sing, like, insanely high

[@havenstover9252]

Adam Shawn annouced that he w as a bit nervous about hitting his notes because he had a soar throat

[@nias.1004]

@@dan-xb4wo and why do you ironize his sore throat exactly? Like it's not normal for a person to have a sore throat? To be sick? He may have used a little auto-tune, but he didn't lipsync, unlike half of the other artists. He still put a lot of effort and there's no reason to make fun of him. And don't tell me you're not, because on your first reply you said "LOL, what an excuse.", and that's exactly what making fun of someone is.

[@veddyveddygood]

*I'm beginning to think this guy's never heard of any vocalists last century.*

[@carinacruz2613]

His natural voice has a rasp that's why it sounded like he was struggling on the higher notes. That's just his style of singing. His voice isn't "showing some wear and tear". That's just how he sings and I personally think it sounds AMAZING. Just my opinion. And millions of other people's.

[@bevind3590]

Well remember shawn was sort of finishing up with puberty too, so it has effects on his voice, he also had a sore throat too. If you compare his voice to now in 2019, it sounds very different from in that performance. (Now it's more mature with less cracks in his voice)

[@haru_5550]

U r saying that he shouldn't have scream that loud cuz it's affecting his voice a little bit.. But it gaves us thrills and we were not there for judge him... sorry not sorry

[@ikmalhakimharun3823]

he just said that its not good to do that. and yeah . he was right actually. unless you are not afraid of voice cracks in the middle of live performance

[@jinluvr]

Low-key came here for his reaction on the high note and I was disappointed🤩❤️

[@THOMAS2910able]

According to Tristan Paredes the scream in the begining is to get him familiar with D5 he belts at the end.

[@imurasafia1958]

If you really knows how Shawn delivers his songs, you'll notice that he changes his technique in some songs to get the feel. In this song, I feel like he wants to have a sense of rock.. So he pushes it instead of belts it in the chorus to create the rasp, because he doesn't have it naturally in his voice. That high notes 'baaack' at the end proves that he can reach the notes with different technique. In Where were you in the morning, he uses lots of falsetto to create the 'one night stand' effect, while in Senorita he sounds a little bit husky, unlike him normally, to create the 'seducing' effect. Can't wait for the VMAs, hope he will sing with same voice live.. You should make video reaction of VMA.

[@ellam464]

It’s really cool that you actually give advice to the singers

Awesome video, you give very meaningful insights! I was very impressed with his high note, I was definitely not expecting that! It would be nice if you summed your opinions up in the end of the videos, just a suggestion 😄

[@IknowImNotCrazyYoumightbe]

I think the my favorite part of your reviews is the sheer honest & positive remarks you make. I Also like that you seem to genuinely enjoy each song.

[@hectordelapava2362]

Hahaha I love the wink of satisfaction at the end. Thanks for the hard work dude. Q: Do you have any tips or methods to improve falsetto strength and stability? I find it hard to give it the power and balance I need most of the time, mainly because I'm not accustomed to it.

I only want to say that Shawn is perfect!! 😍. He is the best singer in all the world . Are you jealous?

[@laurensuh7300]

I think you define singing as looks?

[@BYEhorses]

This was nice to see. Most reaction channels tend to gloss over the mistakes and only focus on the good. I love Shawn and while people don't like to see the mistakes their idols make, they still happen. I've definitely noticed his tendency to go to heavy with his voice like you said and it definitely causes him to miss notes. I'm pretty sure I've seen a video of him even saying that, that he's so used to just singing loudly and he needs to focus more on technique. He seems to do better at small venue or acoustic stuff where it's easier to focus on that. My completely non professional opinion obviously, but I just appreciated that you pointed this stuff out.

[@BYEhorses]

Also, if you feel like it you should look into a band called Before You Exit. They're not very popular, but they're very talented. I've never found any reactions to them and since you comment on the good and the stuff that needs improvement I'd like to see your thoughts. I'd love to see what you think of one of their covers (my current favorite is Happier by Ed Sheeran), but a live video would be better in the sense that it's unedited. Whatever you think would be better. Hope you decide to check them out and can't wait to see what you think if you do!

[@MC-oj4en]

You should check out Sam Johnson..he goes into depth and explains everything. Sam reacts to this very performance of Shawn Mendes. It is obvious that Shawn cant bear himself and that is a problem when u sing. That's why he kept removing his ear piece.

@@MC-oj4en I have watched him and his reaction to this performance. He's definitely one of the better channels as well.

[@lucacafarelli4282]

I saw a lot of comment saying something like " hating on shawn for 7 minutes straight cuz he is jealous" .... so i only wanted to say that he is a vocal coach he is supposed to critcize the way singers perform vocally , so if Shawn has a bad technique it's fair to say the truth , and btw even if shawn had a sore throat we all can tell that generally he hasn't a proper technique even though he is improving . Btw i don't hate Shawn instead i love him and how much effort he puts in singing but commenting this shit just piss me off . These comments aren't constructive and the mendes army should open their eyes and not defend Shawn for everything he does and so being just a lamb without a brain . I appreciate more a vocal coach that tell the truth than a vocal coach that only says " wau amazing performance , he is awesome " when he/she had a bad performance

Please do a video on headvoice next. And we don't want some description of what head voice is. There are way too many videos explaining it already. In the past year i have managed to build my foundation and now i can sing on pitch and with support up to a g4 (i can hit an A4 but its not pretty😂) however i can't sing in headvoice for shit. How do i fix that? Much love! Peace!

It's not perfect if there are bad things to point out. His voice is pretty good but his lack of healthy technique really holds him back and will cause a rapid decline in his voice as the strain he does on a lot of high notes however I do think he is a pretty darn good singer.

For us (the fandom, a.k.a. the #mendesarmy) his VOICE is perfect just the way it is, and for me, he has the nicest, most innocent soul I've ever seen. So you should stop hating on him.
