Demi makes those octave jumps like they are thirds. It breaks my brain how effortlessly they do things like that.

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Incredible skill lol

[@lovatohouse7818]

Demi's voice gets just better and better with time like fine wine😣❤️

[@MsBirga]

I love the disgusted face when you say „that’s really good singing” 😂 sums up my reactions to both of Demi’s new songs, they’re just so fucking good!!! can’t wait for the whole album. speaking of, please react to SUBSTANCE, too! it’s quite different from SKIN OF MY TEETH but equally amayzing 😍

[@susiemilligan7220]

I am not a singer but I so admire good singing. From the first time I heard Demi Lovato I knew I wanted to hear whatever they sang. What a gift. I just hope they can defeat their demons and live a happy life.

[@Xan-iv6tq]

You’re an amazing teacher. Very knowledgeable

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

I appreciate that!

[@ThePragmatist839]

Oh I’m early! Yes, lots of different things to say about Demi’s life, story, image, substance issues etc, but the one thing that is consistent and undebatable is the raw vocal talent. Edit: it’s also quite impressive that if you listen to the albums they cover just about every musical style from pop, rock, metal, hip-hop, and more soul/jazz type pieces, and Demi’s voice is just a 10/10 in all of them. I agree, I think it points to someone who has both great natural talent but also just really knows how to sing.

[@ThePragmatist839]

Sorry, coming back one month later to say that I have been listening to nothing but Holy Fvck for weeks now and it’s just such a fun record. Reached parts of my heart that have been dormant since like 2008. 😇

[@damndivas]

This is good...you need to react to her substance performance live that was insane..

[@zaynes5094]

I don't know how he doesn't have a million subs yet. It's insane. Also, I have a sister who sang in a classical choir for 6 years and she's a contralto, which both made it great and terrible for her when she was first taking singing lessons. She already had a natural gift for singing, and her singing is whatever she wants it to be now, but it made her more aware of how different her voice was compared to the other women in the group, who were all very nice and supportive of her, while she was only 18 when she got into that choir. She had a transition year where after she was done singing with the choir she went and recorded a few different covers, all in her own contralto style, but she realized that she just had too much stage fright to go solo and be a lead singer in front of a huge, or even small, audience.

[@JesseBooth01]

Sam: "This is very very nice." in reality that's a really beautiful compliment haha. Nothing left to say about it, it just is.

[@systemchok]

loving your videos...you are really indepth (alot more than most of other voice teacher channels here on the tube) and show/explain the theory behind the crazy singing, which I really enjoy and try to learn from (although some stuff is nigh impossible').....are people born with a certain vocal range or is everything learnable?? Would love your reaction to Tim Storms singing "Lonesome Road", it's in the totally opposite direction of what most people aspire to do vocaly, since it goes deep deep deep down instead of up in the C6+ range :)

[@zehrab936]

SAM new album live performances demi’s best eraaaa

[@JordyJRT]

Sam I’d love if you could react to something operatic… your thoughts of Elina Nechayevas performance of La Forza at Eurovision 2018 would be great. I remember being gobsmacked at the upper extension of her voice (I think she hits a C6) and think you could break down what is happening really amazingly! Obviously not quite in a traditional opera setting but I still think it was great and she has lots of fans in Europe

[@bharp4390]

This is some of the best singing I've heard from Demi. My biggest qualm with them is that they sometimes really screech up there, but I didn't hear any of that here. Excellent stuff

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Yes I also think a vocal technique channel is the best place to debate gender and language. The singular they goes back at least to the 14th century. Back when thou was the commonly used singular "you" and "you" was plural. Language evolves naturally, there often isn't a solo decider. The resistance to using language that many people have said makes them feel more comfortable in the world is also known as being a dick.

[@ididntknowtheyhadwifiinhell]

@I AM Jesus! nonbinary people pick their own pronouns. if they don't want to go by they/them, they don't, but demi does. personally i'm nb but for some reason i don't feel comfortable using they for myself at this point so i just... don't. no one riots :) edit: also cis people use "they" all the time to refer to someone they don't know the gender of, without even realizing it. "who was that at the door? what did they want?" no one says, "what did he or she want?"

[@jaxs616]

@@SamJohnsonVoice Laughing and crying at the same time 😂 My parents named me a new combination of words when I was born without consulting the "academics." Guess they broke the English language, and language in general! Gasp!

[@humphrke]

@I AM Jesus! I'm going to take this in good faith and try to explain it. What pronouns one feels comfortable with are completely up to the individual. We have been using singular they since Shakespearean time, and many people feel more comfortable using a word they know rather than one they don't, so it tends to be the default for that. However, I've known plenty of Non-binary people who use different or newer (neo) pronouns such as Ze/zir, xe/xir and others, I've seen people use one/oneself, and more. Use whatever pronouns feel comfortable for you, and of someone tells you their pronouns, respect it and do the best you can to remember. That's all we ask for

Demi sounds incredible here! 5:12 blew me away agh!

The fact that Demi Lovato has a C6 note (I think it's full chest or mixed) in her new revamped song titled "Confident" (Rock Version) from her Revamped album. You should give it a try and react to it. The high notes in this album are unmatchable and nothing we've ever heard before in her entire career. It'll give you goosebumps. 🥵 Demi is on her vocal prime now!!
