Voice Teacher Analyzes "My Mind" x Yebba

You all have asked for her… for a long time, and so I HAD to make sure I gave y’all what y’all wanted. And I thoroughly enjoy her - ‪@AbbeySmithy‬.
This performance was SO unique and moving and I loved seeing this side of her.

[@Yrakoy]

I was there, and when I tell you that people were afraid to move or blink. She had us in a trance.

[@kay-collins]

Oh is that what it was??? 😂 cause I was mad at y’all for that light applause I would have been screaming & crying 😂😂😂😂 but I feel you tho... it probably was even more intense in person!

[@TodaysDiscipIe]

So lucky!! I'm jealous!! BEST live performance I've ever seen!

[@allifairm]

I’m so jealous. I can’t imagine what that felt like live because it enveloped my soul online.

[@melanied7453]

Whoa I bet!

[@jackieonasis78]

Im jealous i wish i was there lol

[@amberparker9883]

She is crying with her voice without sheading one real tear.. one of THE best performances EVER to exist!!

[@ladyren1372]

Whew that “worked so hard to keep you satisfied” really hit different 😭😭😭

[@okebaram]

This vocal coach is on a different level than the sea of other vocal coaches. Very insightful vocal coach! And I mean real insight, wisdom and understanding of voice not just being good at talking and talking. And can sing too! Fantastic video.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Wow, thank you! I appreciate this.. a lot! THANK YOU!

[@latishaturner7675]

Yes, he is on another level...he is amazing!

[@danielalexander4855]

I agree, by far the best!!

[@klervin9658]

FACTS!!! Could make Tara Simons shut all the way up!!

[@LUckybones25]

For sure. He knows his stuff.

[@glendariggins84]

She sung that song. She put all her pain, and feeling into it.

[@vanessagg5222]

That’s how you make a song cry 😢!!

[@bunnieseatliverspots]

I think this performance moved so many people because, while not everyone understands vocal technique, we all understand storytelling. Our ancestors knew how to do it as soon as they gathered around the fire - and we all do it every day (“you will not believe what happened at work”). Yebba tells a story with every note that she sings - and we all get it.

[@TootieTootie]

YES. 💛

[@TraIsKind]

She put her WHOLE FOOT into that song!

[@foreverxo8693]

“TECHNIQUE IS THE ASSURANCE OF YOUR GIFT”🔥

[@jmlegrairstudio]

That's right!

[@aliciabrown6679]

That part🙌🏾

[@trisanone-ya-business7803]

The fact that she could even sing these words with everything that was going on during that time, is absolutely astonishing to me.

[@kaki4forks]

This performance never fails to give me goosebumps. It doesn’t matter how many times I see it. It’s so authentic and vulnerable

[@LoriPaulVocalCoaching]

I'm a vocal coach in British Columbia, Canada and friend, you are absolutely blowing my mind with your analysis...your ability to replicate riffs and also describe the technique being employed is beyond incredible! Subscribed!

[@nateburch4977]

I REALLY appreciate that you’re using pedagogical terms 😭 There are TOO many people on here doing what you’re doing without proper knowledge, training, experience, & CERTIFICATION!

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I appreciate YOU. All the love man. ALL of it.

[@kwilcox1126]

Baby cried without crying. I felt every word. I been there😢. This, this is heartbreak!

[@ejones610]

Ms. Yebba makes me FEEL when she sings...I enjoy her music and personality so much. A true treasure!!

[@zahiahmarshall5132]

YES! The first time I heard this song I nearly cried, especially when she started the wails, I was utterly awed and enchanted by her voice and the complete authenticity and rawness she displayed in this song. I got chills with every run, hum and head-thrown-back note👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾GORGEOUS😫💞💞💞

[@Lady1nMN]

Nope not a song to move to... but most definitely a song to SHOUT to. I mean... when I hear raw voices and tones like Yebba's, I can't help but give, "stank" faces, the ocassional deep "Mm!" And such lol I could NOT be as motionless like the folks in her audience 🤣 lol I am soooooo grateful that you've FINALLY are analyzing this. I'd love to sit on the sofa beside you (dibs on left side) and just hear your reaction to her singing the entire song hahahaha.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

On day maybe I'll do a LIVE analysis where we all can watch together and talk about what we hear! That would be fun!

[@ameliaokiyi6629]

YES I watch this and get so mad I’d throw a shoe and wave my arm

[@kay-collins]

Yessss!! It’s ALLLL stank faces & deep “mm!s” over here too 😂😂 literally the whole time!! I be falling out! just shaking my head the whole time bc I can’t with this one.... this song tew much chile 😅

[@LUckybones25]

💯

[@shannon_d]

I have watched A LOT of commentary videos on this song. You by far are one of the few who actually understood what Yebba was conveying here. Not to mention you use the terminology, which gives me an opportunity to learn something! THANK YOU for this and your channel. I don't even know how I got to your channel, but you are phenomenal. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Thank you so muuuuuch wow!

[@kwilcox1126]

Yebba sung it and gave me everything I needed. We all been through heartbreak. Given your all to someone and they just ain't give a damn

[@sexytiffanymtsu]

WOW, I have heard a LOT of vocal coaches react on this app, but they pale in comparison to this man. This is my 1st time listening to one of his reaction videos, and I am BLOWN AWAY by how much he has taught me!!! How deep he is able to break down what's happening in this song vocally…. He is a cut above the rest! Very impressed!

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I appreciate that! THANK YOU!

[@sxm76]

You ministered to me.....Your gift was already validated when it was given to you. Thats powerful. Thanks for that. Perfection is not in human nature. This was very helpful to me.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I'm so glad. Love this.

[@swesley275]

Thank you so much for that. "Don't strive for perfection. There is no perfection in humanity. Strive to be your best self. " I'm taking that and running with /singing it. Lol.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I know that's right! Run with it! Haha.

[@christinagraham2915]

@@jmlegrairstudio needed that

[@rachealjones6882]

Yebba is outstanding.. She makes you melt

[@TootieTootie]

The 1st time I saw this video of YEBBA was also the 1st time I’d ever heard her, baby - I was literally SOBBING 3 minutes in…. Like, ma’am….wow, speak to my heart. 😩🙌🏽👏🏽✨

[@lolamaraschino8335]

Same for me too but it only happened last night, I’ve not stop listening since!

[@iamlpinthe312]

Ohh I can’t wait... I call her a ‘ vocal gymnast ‘ . Evergreen is amazing as is her duet with Clark Beckham covering Gravity.

[@avionterria7855]

And 'Evergreen'

[@allifairm]

Her incredible vocal control and raw emotional presentation brings me to tears every single time I watch this video.

[@rachealjones6882]

Chile you betta say that Jaron. Your gift is the validation.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Oh yes!

[@Lady1nMN]

This is what they call flat footed sanging!!! Lol so raw .... ok sorry I keep commenting like we're all sitting next to each other 😆

[@rockyb4637]

She made you feel every word of this song literally had me to tears even if you can't relate to the lyrics you can relate to that emotion 🔥🔥🔥

[@jade-chan3291]

Sir!!! You were preaching a whole word about perfection! I also love the way you don't just "ooh and ahh" about the artists, you explain how they actually make the sounds that they make.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Thank you! It's something I try to live by myself - I'm not the best at it, but it has liberated me!

[@MzLuvyee1]

It’s a raspy sound..that she has, that is so strengthening and beautiful!

[@LUckybones25]

Great analysis! You can tell that girl meant every word of that song.

[@InariNichelle]

I never sit through vocal coach reaction videos but you are amazing!!!! Literally so knowledgeable I loved this. Pure entertainment

[@jmlegrairstudio]

This is so kind! Ahhh thank you!

[@kahluamorton7341]

You make US realize that talent doesn't equate to success...... You can BE BIG. but you choose to educate instead💪💯💜💜💜🗣️🤩🤩

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Thank you so much! Love this!

[@kahluamorton7341]

💜💜💯 facts.. You have a Fan in me .....

[@mikegarcia9908]

You posted a short and it made me come back to watch the full again. Even with all the stops to explain i was sitting through chills and holding back tears. THE GIFFFTTTTT this woman has !

[@rianna850]

I LOVE this series!! Please can use analyse Avery Wilson and Tori Kelly next x

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Oh yeah both are beasts!

[@erinhafer228]

I second Avery Wilson! He has a couple duets with Shoshana Bean that will blow your mind!

[@brivvy]

This song means a lot 😢 dedicated to her mom who committed suicide after dealing with mental health issues. Started as a different meaning, but she gave it away free afterward. This song is personal to me and now watching this video, you helped show how beautiful she put it together ❤️

[@bee-rn1621]

When I heard this song years ago I literally cried every time I played it! She really had all the emotions in her voice!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@yendor86]

I’m a guy who’s heard this song and watched her video several times, but because today, I can fully empathize with someone who’s dealing with the feelings of being betrayed after fully committing… watching her pain is, mmm, emotional.

[@michelecherek5392]

MAAAANNNNNNN!! Listening to your critique on this, and the emotion she amplifies while singing... I didn't realize how much I just NORMALLY do this!! I do weddings, funerals, etc. I have people YEARS LATER, telling me how that emotion I had, helped them thru THEIR emotions... I. AM. BLESSED!!💖😭🙏

[@treylegall]

"technique is the insurance of your gift" 👏🏽🙌🏽WOW, i love that❣️✨️

[@aminahmalikah]

I’ve never heard this song before and I’m boohoo crying right now 😅

[@KiatHuang]

Really enjoyed the reaction by this man. A fascinating balance of technique, texture, emotion, meaning and choices.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Thanks!

[@avionterria7855]

Those humms and growls, you know what that means. It's about to go down! Yes, she is telling this story and I can visualize it. I could literally direct the video based on her colorful delivery.

[@christophergoldhammer__]

I come back to your video once a month because your breakdown is so spot on, plus her song makes me cry when I need to release

[@uns33n]

The kind of music yiu don't move to but are moved by

[@d.b.frasch6758]

This song sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it. And, as usual, your analysis is not only informative, but uplifting as well. I literally had to pause the video to comment because I didn't want to miss anything you were talking about. Also, I hope you make an album someday. When you sing to exemplify what you are speaking about is one of my favourite things about your videos. Cheers!

[@rabiaali11]

I can't get enough of your channel! I am going through and watching videos that are 2 yrs old and you nailed all of them!

[@teleiagunby1155]

I absolutely love your videos you have such a ear for great talent. You are truly a breath of fresh air!

[@divinelight4160]

My goodness, how much I love your words or truth when it comes to singing 🙏

[@day8173]

Yess Yebba 😩🙌🏾 so talented!

[@pamsimmons6428]

I like how she cry in different tones…I never heard of her. Reminds me of Adele😊😊😊great pick Jaron on this one💯💯💯💯

[@Curly.Leigh23]

You gotta do that Yebba and Lucky Daye song!! It’s 🔥

[@shannonstewart4792]

Buying song NOW because of YOU and HER. Freaking AWESOME.

[@mieldor76]

Bay-Bee, this is pure pain! Sis has had a man make her feel like...I can't do this no mo! Period, this is storytelling at its finest! He hurt her and I'm so grateful because the result is this level of artistry.

[@DRB112792]

You are a great, great speaker and teacher. It's a pleasure to watch. Thank for your service. A blessing, indeed.

[@ballam011]

Wow...I have watched so many reactions to this song, but yours was the "most" enjoyable to me. You imitated everything she did accurately and that was so enjoyable. Even going into the terms and explanations was nice. Thank you. I'll be back for more.

[@erick.nippyfan1005]

U better preach about perfection very wise words I love your videos, your a beautiful soul ❤

[@taginahunt]

I stumbled upon on your channel a few days and I’ve been hooked. Very insightful and as a singer, I’m taking notes 📝 thank you 🙌🏾

[@ljb5163]

Your voice is on another level. Wow

[@theodoral7207]

Thanks for sharing your gift with us! We don't deserve you but we appreciate you. You are truly an encouraging soul and deserve all the positive affirmations I see in the comments. Much love from Baltimore!

[@maliedelgado2658]

Your explanation of the vocal anatomy throughout ACTUALLY makes sense unlike some other coaches! Great reaction!!

[@thebenelliot_]

I loved hearing you perspective on just how technical she really is while also sounding so free. Loved what you said about being authentic over being perfect. This really is one of the best live performances of all time.

[@fine_art_wr]

This is one of the BEST performances I’ve EVER seen PERIODT! Ever since time I see this video I get chiiilllls! The passion, the talent, UNBELIEVABLE!!! 🤯

[@merrraki_music]

She is perfect 🥹🧡

[@lcozzarelli]

Great video! I’ve watched a fair number of vocal coaches react to this song, and you are a standout, with some spot-on, really insightful comments, plus a great voice to demonstrate what you are talking about. Keep up the good work!

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I appreciate this!

[@Gnomojo]

Holy shit you’re easily the best vocal coach here in the KZbin business. You keep it fun for the people who just want to see peoples eyes glow up when we hear the same thing.

[@nubianfx]

the first time i heard this song i burst into tears, and i was having a perfectly good day. i got goose bumps. stalked her ever since.. tremendous

Thank youuuuu! Yay!

[@tenea24]

I found you on tik tok last week and I’ve been binging your videos on KZbin ALL WEEK . You’re teaching me so much about my own voice, along with others. I’m definitely learning not to put too much pressure on myself in regards to sounding/singing like someone else, just embracing my own. Thank you so much. My music will definitely be better because of you and your lessons wishing your analysis!! I’ll continue to remember my gift is ALREADY “validated” ✨ Bless you! 🙏🏽

[@jmlegrairstudio]

[@JrRimp]

I love the objective honesty and clarity you used in this analysis. I feel at times when certain people sing they're analyzed with great subjectivity. I was just introduced to this page by my cousin and I've been greatly impressed, influenced, and wowed by your knowledge and delivery!

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I appreciate this! Thank you!

It's okay cause if you didn't pause you would be in full tears and goosebumps all over.

I've watched tons of reaction videos and this is the best analysis I've seen.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Thank you so much!

[@HKAMILAH]

I also prefer the non perfect moments in singing. She was so vulnerable in this, it was refreshing. The yodelling was sensational, she performed vocal acrobatics throughout.

[@joacimbenjaminsson4366]

Really loved this reaction!

I don't know that I have ever heard of this artist but, OH MY! Thank you for sharing ❣
