I love singers I can recognise from a single note. Morrisey is one of them.

[@primavirae]

yes he has a recognizable voice

[@david_post_punk]

Robert Smith among them i think

[@kozmobluemusic]

Yeah because most of the time he sings the third note above the root lol (he still does it well though)

[@Teutius]

It’s because he sings one note throughout every song 🤣🤣🤣

[@allbottledup9513]

Perfectly said. Steve Marriott, Roger Daltrey, Paul McCartney/John Lennon, Ray Davies, Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Morrissey are the singers I recognize immediately. I’m sure I’m leaving out a few names but those are the big ones. Especially Morrissey, Daltrey, and Plant.

[@danielmeola3651]

Yessss, Beth!! Morrisey and The Smiths, my adolescense and happy moments, thanks for the video

[@umbluegray1]

My daughter and I saw him in Vegas back in August. He still nails it!

[@stevefurness6303]

Absolutely 💯

[@francesprendergast1721]

I adorrrrrre Morrissey's voice. So dreamy.

[@H3avyHaul3r]

Always thought the best thing about Morisseys singing was the “delivery” of the vocal…loved it intertwined with the lyrics, marrs jangley riffs…they sound like no one else

[@rouguy1972]

Love Morrissey ❤️

[@jessicakelley0]

💜 Hello! I just have a few thoughts... Morrissey has a very prominent underbite, but I can see what Beth means about jaw soreness. Morrissey has my absolute FAVORITE male singing voice of all time,& the lyrics he writes can be extremely moving, eloquent, intelligent, &sometimes even hilarious! I’m not exaggerating when I say that I still get goosebumps when I hear certain songs, even though I’ve heard them thousands of times! I LOVE this song, however I really wish Beth picked a different song so that she could’ve heard his impressive vocal range &his powerful vocals....Maybe something like- “I know it’s over”-The Smiths, or a later Morrissey song like, “Come back to Camden”, IDK. One more thing that I think might impress Beth is that when Morrissey performs, he doesn’t use wedges or in-ears. He doesn’t wear any earpieces at all, yet his live voice sounds perfect! Unlike a LOT of singers, his voice live sounds just as good as it does on his records! 💜💛🤎🤍🧡

[@marcobarrientos4953]

"Handsome Devil" - one of my favorite songs, saw it in a skating video when I was 11 "Flip: Really Sorry." "Well I wonder" I think would have been perfect to review!!

[@gigabrother458]

"Well I Wonder" is also very very good.

[@teamdunk2500]

Your smile throughout the video says it all. Perfect.

[@honooryu5374]

This is in my opinion one of the greats. Love their music and that of their era. Funny enough I just listened to them, less than two minutes ago

[@honooryu5374]

@Harrison Gent you know my answer. It's yes btw.

[@chronicnoob8673]

There is a Light and it Never Goes Out

[@elainecannon24]

Seeing these old Smiths video remind me of my older brother as a teenager. He'd get me to look for old mens shirts at church jumble sales he was too cool to go to. I'd get to spend the change on toys or mushy peas and vinegar. In the spirit of nostalgia I've been watching some old INXS live videos and had a look to see what you might have said about Michael Hutchences voice and low and behold imagine my surprise when i found nowt.

[@maximyles]

She just fell in love with morrissey again

[@mikemitchell9227]

Great voice. See if you can find some video of recent performances. I just saw him at Riot Fest and his voice is amazing. Probably more range than in this video.

[@stevenhartlaub4557]

Totally agree. I was impressed by his vocals when performing live. He has consistently challenged himself vocally and has become an excellent singer.

[@gigabrother458]

Attended his show in Boston a significant number of years back. He lost his voice three songs in and walked off the stage. Of course everyone was disappointed. Instead of refunding tickets, he and the band came back a few weeks later dressed up in white tuxedoes and banged out a ton of Smiths hits (instead of his solo work)--the crowd was going positively nuts. Absolute gent.

[@daviddill5227]

Love Morrissey, I have been listening to him and the Smiths music for 40 years now. All his music is underrated.

[@lindapb6529]

I never knew Morrissey got a bad rap for his voice 👀

[@hurpaderpp]

boy with the thorn in his side is probably his best vocal song...theres probably others but thats what comes to mind

[@cosmicactivity299]

There’s a lot of artists I like mainly for their music, but Morrissey’s voice is one of the main reasons I got so hooked on The Smiths

[@mike4619]

Translation of lyrics: "Mike and Andy, you only get 10% of the profits."

[@heirrose1606]

Not sure who these complainers are but the only negative stuff about his voice I ever heard was that he was too whiny which is absurd and not about the actual quality of his vocal talent. He's one of my favorite male singers ever and hits notes few other men can reach.

[@alexanaya6820]

RIP Andy 😔

[@alhollywood6486]

He knows so much about these things...

[@MalMotorDedo]

As a big Smiths fan, his voice is really cool, but he sometimes sings like a seal, that's what some ppl really don't like (I do tho, lol). The Boy With The Thorn In His Side is my favorite performance from him

[@mcluvin65]

For me this is interesting because this is a person commenting on a person that is actually singing and to me Morrissey has a distinct and strong voice, you could tell she enjoyed the song. I wonder what kind of review she will give the newer singers that use technology to enhance their voices

[@elceezDoscinco]

Idk why you hate his voice! He is an Icon in America! How many generations have you influenced I have been listening to the Smiths since Highschool!

[@oofym353]

Please cover a song where he uses head voice like Well I wonder or What difference does it make.

[@orlandogonzalez9360]

His voice is too unique.

[@TJ-hw5zn]

But his with such an incredible voice did he have Vocal training??

[@NoHurriesNoWorries]

Your intro kills me. You're a freaking comedian too. Hahaha

[@andreachavez3603]

I have a medium high voice too and people don’t like the tone of my voice either lol.

[@GrotesqueDestiny]

Nice video, on the performance i do not believe it is live music, they are lipsyncing the performance, as this sounds like the exact studio recording and none of their guitars are plugged in. thanks for the breakdown Beth.

[@roguebot6132]

Pretty mind blowing that this fact goes unnoticed in a video entirely dedicated to analyzing audio. LOL!

[@stevendouglas3860]

Joyful

[@franciscoassis62]

Muito linda !

[@leatt4693]

Why is it so hard to find a vocal coach react to "The Cure"?

[@eliotguerra6783]

People are mean towards whatever Morrissey says or does because he's a very vocal vegan who puts animal rights above human rights and is confounded by how people who maim and murder innocent things which are not much different from children can be offended by some idiot's opinions. It is hard for us vegans to understand how carnivores can believe themselves to be ethical or even have ethics in the first place. So, it's a trap plenty of us fall into to just spout absurd sayings and opinions, because our very stance in a murderous world makes us not care much about the average person's sensibilities or notions of what can or can't be said, since not a single thing a person can utter is as horrible as the needless death of billions -- or, in other words, we're more worried about what comes into our mouths than what comes out of them.

[@dumpsta-divrr365]

Being vegan doesn't mean you just get to be racist, dumbass.

[@pacofernandez4591]

Mmmm...great analysis as always! But...It is not Morrissey live, is it? It's the album version instead! :)

[@jimbosteen2935]

Ur sooo pretty

[@sutherland4491]

Waiting for that Liam Gallagher one

[@NewFalconerRecords]

With a lot of early Smiths songs Morrissey's main vocal melodies are almost like harmony melodies, he doesn't hit any notes hard, just kind of floats around Johnny Marr's guitar -- it was what intrigued me about the band from day one. His melodies got tighter by the time of 'The Queen is Dead' and beyond, but I have a fondness for the early Smiths records. I remember I had a Greek friend whose father (who hated pop music) really liked the Smiths because Morrissey's vocals reminded him of Greek music. That was interesting.

[@aires69uk]

Interesting.

[@ciaranward3559]

What was the similiarites with Greek music

[@pretty-white-lamb]

I don't know much about Greek music except from Church music, Greek Orthodox chant. What I can say about Greek chant is that it is a lot more flowy, fluid, and vibrato based than the music of the Western churches. So I can see why Morrissey's singing is "Greek" in that sense. It's not so much about hitting one definite pitch after another as gliding smoothly up and down the scale.

[@waltercoyle6393]

Every word Morrissey sings hits a note hard. What the fuck are you on about? This video is bullshit.

[@pretty-white-lamb]

@@waltercoyle6393 Look up glissando up staccato. Glissando means gliding from one note to the other. Staccato means you're picking out one note after the other with little transition. Morrissey's style is very glissando, gliding.

[@robinjmaster8312]

Morrissey has one of the most distinctive voices of all time and he sings with emotion and charisma, to me that is more important than technical prowess. Having said that, you should listen to his more recent work. His vocal capabilities have dramatically improved over time, his 2019 covers album, "California Son" is a great showcase for this.

[@ijustneedmyself]

@Harrison Gent So true!

[@martijndekok]

I believe I heard that he had to lip-sync in this video. Morrissey wanted to sing live, but the TV program wanted him to just hold a mic and act as if he was singing live. He refused to use a mic, instead he hold those flowers, to show it's not actually live.

[@johnhawk1089]

Yes, this is not live.

[@noverrr4508]

Top of the pops and a lot of shows at the time did this. Some people rebelled in the late 80s and 90s and/or took the piss by doing dumb stuff.

[@lazylaurablue]

Sounds about right. Morrissey was (quite rightly imo) proud of his vocal ability.

[@eboethrasher]

Yeah, New Order absolutely refused to do the shows unless they got to perform live, even on TOTP they did Blue Monday live, I think.

[@eboethrasher]

@@noverrr4508 Yeah The Cure would have a blast with shows where you had to mime, having people switch instruments etc, all over the place.

[@mamasadie5219]

Morrisey has a beautiful voice, super unique and recognizable. And has only got better with time

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

A friend of mine once said his favorite thing about Morrissey was that he never stopped singing. He would harmonize through the whole song. It changed the way I listened to his music.

[@angelarballo4478]

I think his best vocal performance with the Smiths is "I Know It's Over". If you want another go-around with the Smiths I suggest that song.

[@gigabrother458]

Absolutely phenomenal song. After I heard it I needed more.

[@JoeStunner]

The symmetry and chemistry between Marr's musical ideas and Morrissey's instinctive vocal techniques and words was as unique as it was breath-taking.

[@garythompson5316]

Two true geniuses! W We’ll never see the likes again

[@PujiPamungkas-ko4db]

The bass is everything for their music. One of great bassist

[@ExternalInputs]

Says the bass player? Ignore the unique voice, lyrics, stellar guitar and think the bass is "everything"?

[@jaredsmith138]

Please do “I know it’s over” by The Smiths if you want to hear some pure Morrissey genius.

[@ericmoore571]

I love Morrissey! I've listened to him for 37 years almost exclusively. I've seen him live 3 times, once in a venue so small I was able to touch his shoes, hold his hand, and look right into his eyes. I was right against the stage. One of the best nights of my life!

[@Fawkes1978]

This is Johnny Marr's best ever riff imho. An absolute ear worm of a riff, referring to one of Beth's most informative videos. Thank you for reminding people of one of the most influential writing duos of the 80s

[@vb2388]

Marr’s riff in ‘Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others” is my personal favourite from him..

Why do you got to do my bass dirty like that, replaced by a triangle.

[@gwenivercall]

To actually see Morrissey sing live in the 80s, you'd have to go for something like The Tube (not TOTP) - there's an awesome 7 minute version of Barbarism begins at home which has to be seen (and heard) to be believed.

[@TDOTMUSICNERD]

I would roll back time to see the Smiths

[@xjudgexdreddx]

THANK YOU for doing a Morrissey video! I’d very much be interested in a comparison of his voice between his early and his later years! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME GET WHAT I WANT! 😉

[@rael2099]

Morrissey's solo career »» The Smiths 🤷🏻‍♂️ His voice improved over time, his expression range definitely grew; he doesn't have to do much to express what he wants anyway. Listen to "Boxers", "I know it's gonna happen someday", "Now my heart is full", "I'm ok by myself". He really knocks it out of the ballpark.

[@f.f5771]

That’s a hot take I wasn’t ready for but actually kinda agree with, I see what your saying

[@roguebot6132]

I’ll agree that Moz was better on his solo material, but knowing his personality that doesn’t seem surprising LOL. However, looking at the entirety of the work as a whole, The Smiths music clearly wins out. It’s art, so it’s completely subjective anyway, but the great majority would agree.

[@brucegame1458]

Love your reviews. So many are fond of morrisey because of tone and intonation.

[@adammcculley8080]

Morissey consciously used his tone and vibrato to avoid a " bluesy" sound...because he's Morrisey, and he has to keep things proper and British.😂

[@deedee8568]

In fairness, that is his natural (class 3) jaw relationship. You'll see it in profile shots (at rest).

Correction on Morrissey's jaw position. He has Habsburg Jaw (search it up).

[@TBBMusicBlog]

He’s not singing in this clip. He’s lipsyncing.

[@stinkhornadrian]

Please do a recent Morrissey song to see how his voice has improved... or even a Morrissey evoluton: "Morrissey through the Ages". Some examples: Istanbul, Maladjusted, Life is a pigsty, Jack the Ripper, First of the Gang to Die... although there are maybe better examples to showcase his vocals

[@ValTwineDeaner]

I truly love The Smiths and especially Morrissey. I saw them in their heyday and Morrissey when he went out on his own. I've always loved his voice and the music is totally unique. He is gorgeous too. There are so many things about Morrissey that people misconstrue, and I have always laughed when people have said that he doesn't have a sense of humour - complete and utter nonsense. In the 80's, I used to listen to BBC Radio in my bedroom, and Morrissey was often a guest in the evenings, and things he said made me scream with laughter. Sometimes my mum would ask me what was making me laugh, and I said, "Morrissey"!!! She looked at me in bewilderment!!! He is actually a very funny man with a laid back sense of humour. He is 7 months older than me, and I love him.

[@mijadreams3486]

[@edbartek6550]
