Voice Teacher Reacts to Tamino - Habibi (Live)

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

idk how to use cameras lol

[@BigBossTV7]

Hi Sam. This is Tamino's grandfather. He was a famous Egyptian singer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpDdlYuPaZ6qn7s

[@john-fw5zl]

Say two things that are good about the camera work. :)

[@WinterDarkmoon]

You are using rule of thirds, so that's basically most of what the camera world uses. Artistic photography/cinematography is good. Friendly reminder that the entertainment industry should only go for consenting things, though. PSA on cameras and their use, has nothing to do with the video really, just a plug for making sure all photography /videography is consensual, which is an important PSA, and the program I was in taught this - you don't have to do things when you are uncomfortable with them. Though it seems like you are using the camera well enough for the purpose of the reaction videos. :) Nice use of rule of thirds, and your lighting seems fairly even.

[@theseangle]

​@@WinterDarkmoonwhat is bro yapping about

[@TheMandrillussphynx]

Wow, I can't believe that this is really happening... There are no Tamino reactions on KZbin at all, and now having one from one of my favorite youtubers... Can't wait to watch it!

[@roinivardoshvili]

I am surprised and so happy too

[@MoniBahaa]

He's the grandson of a famous, late Egyptian singer, Muharram Fouad. Wonderful genes!

[@blackpearl7665]

Oh, is he? Cool.. I was wondering how is he pronouncing the Arabic letter ح

[@ishubetterthanyou1582]

​@@blackpearl7665Is that "eieen" or "aien"? I forgot.

I’ve been absolutely mesmerised by this man for a couple of years now. There’s something about that voice, his music and his lyrics that completely enchanted me. I can’t wait to hear more from him!!!

[@HAPPYMEGALO]

Arabic blooded man. Basically

[@chai-nu7wh]

As a Jeff Buckley fan I teared up when I first heard Tamino, thank you for shining some light on this guy!

[@ellefitzpatrick6339]

Ohhh Chai, I was going to comment the same thing. His ability to emote is soul stirring.

[@eclipse8503]

Jeff Buckley is my favorite....god level in vocals and expressing emotions

[@hanawaldgrave]

I hope you know Nothing but thieves, their singer Conor made a cover of his song Lover, you should have come over. He has such a beautiful voice and emotion in every song

[@bambithoughtssxx]

YES I thought he was really like him

@@hanawaldgrave BARS.

[@hoax7765]

In all honesty,he's got this ambience around him,that takes up your whole space. Every single thing about what he presents is incredibly alluring. I've never seen an artist this bewitching.

[@ruchikarao9643]

As someone who's been a fan for a while now, its good to see my favourite artist finally get this kind of recognition. I know it's not a competition but Tamino's music outshines 90% of mainstream stuff

[@KateVeeoh]

I am a simple Belgian, I see Tamino, I hit like 😌 nice video, Sam!

[@VocalAttitude]

Omg hi fellow Belgian

[@vampabe523]

Hi Belgians! Any other music recommendations from your country? So far I’ve been listening to Balthazar, Warhaus, Sylvie Kreusch, Faces on TV and J. Bernardt (and tamino, of course).

WE NEED A REACTION ON INDIGO NIGHT BY TAMINO!!!. Loved this reaction btw

[@danielleduble6412]

I'm going to see Tamino tonight in Philly. I am so excited. He puts me in a musical trance. His voice and lyrics are just mesmerizing ❤️

[@ChronicallyConfused]

As a belgian, I feel honoured so share a home country with this super talented person!

[@brightwitch]

Never heard Tamino before, instant love 😳 Sam: **thoughtful analysis and observant critique** Me: pretty voice pretty voice pretty voice pretty-oh right technique, yeah, that 🧐 lol I love there are more musicians with deeper voices getting more of the spotlight!

[@beaplax]

I'm so in love with Tamino it's not even funny anymore... You should react to his live concerts btw, he's absolutely mesmerizing

[@ishubetterthanyou1582]

2 years later, and yep, still am. I just can't seem to get over his songs and voice and vibe. His songs make me feel like I miss some time or place I've never actually been. There's not a single bad song from him. And he's only two months older than me. That hurt as much as his songs did.

[@silvanajara946]

Tamino is in another level. Lucky to have seen him performing ❤️

[@desireandfire]

I was introduced to him when he was the opener at a Mitski concert this year. I was so mesmerized and became a fan

[@undawhorl]

2 years late but THISSSSSSS

[@alegarrido8504]

Never clicked on a video that fast. Tamino has that quality of making you feel what he is feeling as well as the mystic lyrics

[@jjknitter6247]

I am mesmerized by his voice.

[@brunabrito1578]

Lovely reaction, I’d love to see more of Tamino on your channel, Sam. He is a amazing singer and has a good amount of songs that could be worthy of react.

[@JmanRox]

Bruh, my friend told me about this guy like a couple of week ago. The whole Amir record is REALLY good. I’m looking forward to seeing more from Tamino. The way he sings reminds me a lot of Jeff Buckley.

[@tirarosaurioreads]

Yes, Jeff Buckley was the first artist that came to my mind when I first heard him too. But at the same time he has his own style... I am in love with his voice.

[@j.o.d.i.e]

Dat range! And when it's rich... whew!! 😍 He killed this! I really appreciate that perspective of vocal cohesion/unification, too, though, and that note felt like someone threw a pillow at me while I was dancing with my eyes closed. Easy enough recovery, but, like...

[@ideessurpapier6063]

Finally i see a Tamino reaction, thank You this guy is an angel please keep this Tamino reactions going. He is My favorite and no one seems to really know him.

[@Ohnoddaeng]

Oh !!! You finally did Tamino I’m so happy !! Thank you !

[@Ohnoddaeng]

Okay I loved the way you described voices and how different his voice sounds. And your opinion about « we like those kind of sounds because we were taught to like them » makes me think a lot. Tamino has an Arabic musical background and they do not use the same scale and key as European and American norms. Sometimes it’s weird for us to listen to those artists who just do music differently and it’s amazing to see how voices are perceived is subjective as well. I loved your reaction, thank you again

[@jairhernandez9610]

The whole F album is a MASTERPIECE! VOICE + PRODUCTION= UNIQUE!

[@diamondstud322]

Only clicked this bc I had a dog I named Habibi (found him as a stray in Saudi Arabia), which I believe means “sweetheart” in Arabic. Never heard this singer, but enjoyed his performance and your analysis and video.

[@JadedKate]

He makes a lot of arabic inspired music since his roots are Egyptian. He just released an album called Sahar.

[@i.t.t.]

i listened to the tiny desk version, which i like also bc you get the live version, no matter if they're singing sharp or they're pitchy. (why didn't you opt for it i wonder) it seems that the video you reacted to is pretty much a live version altho i'd have also liked an explanation for that discrepancy between the image and the sound. i kept hearing bagdad cafe's i am calling you and wonder if the reference is on purpose. and when i first heard indigo night i found that he sounded a lot like leonard cohen. he's really interesting and i love the emotions. i knew you'd have sth to say about his eyes. i don't feel the same way about it but i'd have been disappointed if you hadn't tbh. 😂

[@electrobustia90]

Muy buen análisis y argumentario. Voy a por más.

[@carolyneb.1906]

Antes de qualquer coisa, obrigada!! Já tem um tempo que eu aguardo um bom professor de canto reagir ao Tamino cantando. Ele tem uma técnica única e especial e você percebe o peso e a sinceridade que ele põe nas letras. É realmente algo quase mágico. Você poderia reagir a Pitou - Decay ou Give me a glass? Outra excelente cantora, com um alcance de voz incrível.

[@bellameesparks5682]

The whole time he was correcting his baritone, I was just waiting for him to get to the end 😂😂😂

[@d0nnerknispel64]

It's true that we are used to a pressed sound. This was the sound I was looking for for a long time, but every time I have approached it, my voice got strainend quickly, just too much compression. Now I try to blow more air through and relax, mix more head voice into it. Unfortunately it doesn't sound strong anymore. It takes a lot of practise to have a high meaty tone, I guess, especially with my light quiet tenor voice :D

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

There's also a huge difference between perception and reality. I know when I'm singing well other people hear a loud, robust tone, but my perception especially above an Ab4 is that it's quite quiet and thin.

I might get flack for this. But now that you've done Tamino, you might need to do the female cover that is just as amazing and fragile as this one. By a singer called SLOŃ. Also, yes he sang this live. If you check other live performances, he can do this.

PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO HIS OTHER SONGS AS WELL

[@itsmypukapuka4710]

Hi Sam. You should really react to Jeff Satur if you want to discuss smooth transitions. He is a Thai singer with a truly great and versatile voice and style. His tone is great and he seems to have a knack for how to blend the traditional Thai runs and colorings with a more modern/contemporary approach. His song Comedy and the darker version of it called Tragedy is a great start to explore. He is doing a lot of OSTs as well.

[@timoraymo]

Haha. Saw him live. Tiny performance. Very live. And even better in person. Needed to edit my comment. Dude. Hahah who are you?? I’m going to wait. I’m commenting as I watch this. Ok. I can’t. Who ARE YOU!!!!????? Dude, this guy wrote this gorgeous song and you are….forget it. I’m done.
