As a Singaporean, I admire her alot. Growing up, I admire her character and how high she uphold tradition and moral standings despite being the most popular singer in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia. She is so good that once, she held a concert in Singapore and a Japanese paid as much as SGD $3000 for a VIP seat. Singapore dollar exchanges at S$1.40 per 1 USD approximately. And coincidentally, her concert in Singapore coincides with Mariah Carrey's, but Siti's concert was sold out despite her ticket price being much higher than Mariah's! That speaks volume about how popular she is.

I've heard the story about this back to back concert between her and mariah in singapore before. I think it was in 2000?

[@tassiasilva5688]

It was my first time listening to this artist, and this style of music... I really liked it. It made me want to understand what she's singing, because the way she does it, it feels like she's telling a story - The structure of the song is very quirky and unpredictable (at least for a layman like me) Very interesting your comments. Her voice is absolutely beautiful.

Chordophone = Rebab, Biola, Gambus, tangkungan, ruan, tambura, sarod, sape, sitar, veena technically malay traditional music do not have tuning standards. Usually, the heptatonic (7 pitches) or pentatonic (5 pitches) musical scale is used. Most malay traditional music makes use of variations of these scales. some of malay tradition music /performance genre:- asli (original, traditional), masri (two basic rhythmic accompaniment patterns song with dance n middle east sound), ronggeng, inang and joget (music which typically accompanying social dances) --inang (wet nurse) a stylist dance usually perform for royalty event in past, -- joget (modern malay dance) --ronggeng (tradition dance) both ronggeng n joget usually by commoner or social event like wedding dondang sayang (songs of affection), keroncong (a type of folk music), zapin (music accompanying the zapin dance) ghazal (typically tied to themes of romance sung in poetic quatrains), dikir barat (rhythmic chanting of verses and move), boria (choral with dance move), jikey (musical dance drama/theaterical example makyong dance) mata-kantiga (malay music with portugese influence) bangsawan (opera), kuda kepang(horse dance), hadrah and kompang (traditional repertoire) wayang kulit (musical storytelling using skin) gamelan (music n dance that will company by gamelan instrument) ulik mayang ( old tradition ritual for sea goddess with dance and song) silat ( martial art dance performance company by music) characteristics of traditional Malay music from these various genres include the use of grenek-grenek, which are trill signatures in compositions, and the use of cengkok which is the use of extended melismatic notes (singing a single syllable text and carrying it through multiple notes). each of this type of music have their own characteristic and custom. The lyrics of traditional Malay music are usually set in Malay poetic forms type of lyric usually use in malay tradition song : -prosa =hikayat (tale of popular figure), sejarah (historical), kisah (folk tale), dongeng (type: myth, fable, legend, sage, morale fiction),biography, saga etc in form -pantun (Malay usual cordial banter literary poetic form sentence perform in witty, quick, subtle dialogue manner written mostly in quatrain or couplet similiar verse) -gurindam (old poem) -syair (malay poetry in four line stanza) -sindir (indirect refrence/sarcasm) -kias (analogies) -sajak (poem) seloka (tease) etc and its important to note that malaysia have wide long history of various culture and so many races. the music evolution been thru a lot of stage thru out the history ((revolution: before british colonalism - during british=before world war /after world war - after independent ))so most of musical might be influences and similiar to Hindustani, Arabic, Chinese, Javanese, Portuguese and western music as it all have been fused into Malay music. in shortway to say to sing malay tradition song is not hard but to actually capable carry it perfectly the way that siti does that is a gift and skill. it is important to have lenggok when reciting the lyrics which siti really good at (the 5 scale note in split sec u were saying). and what make siti is such precious she manage to make this type of song as hit song that widely love and popular to everyone. all of this songs is her most popular top song. sorry for long detail.

[@ajohansson3257]

Siti bring back sexyness to Traditional Malay songs. She expressing the lyrics modestly and her movements is polite. Siti Nurhaliza is known for her theatrics in live performances. Her voice itself is like a musical instrument. She has always fascinated and awed people, even to this day. Early in her career, her voice is bright and now more powerful. She has a whole string of hits that she will perform in a medley at her big concerts. She is a natural singer who excels in traditional music. Normally, one would say that she proves the theory of melisma, singing voice, tone, phrasing, dynamics and breathing repeatedly. When she sings, she impresses with her attention to detail, control, and ability to sings and project even the smallest notes. This makes her stand out among Malaysian singers. And yes, traditional Malay music emphasises modest but graceful movements in lyrics, dancing, and most importantly vocal skills. Jumping from one note to the next should be smooth, never abrupt, and everything should sound tonally coherent like a flow of water.

as a malay myself, we’ve been manipulated by so many people (even among our own citizens) that our culture and our race are not that special and are not worth mentioned by the world to compare with other asians, and we used to it already. So refreshing that both of you put your effort to learn about our music, and it makes sense for me to be proud of our malay tradition, and obviously our music is one of the uniqueness that the malay should keep holding strong. unfortunately, not many young kids nowadays listen to this kind of traditional songs anymore and most probably one day it will be just be played in a local museum. =))

[@norhamidahzan6571]

Adek, you should be proud of your race, your heritage, your culture n your religion. Never underestimate your origins. There are so many beautiful n wonderful aspects of the Malay people n cultures actually. The world appreciates Malaysian hospitality and friendliness. We are acknowledged by the world as one of the friendliest country n the most welcoming. We Malaysians, love to entertain foreigners especially hosting events..providing foods n entertainment. We are the *dream host*. Problem is ramai yang dengki dengan kita. Many people are jealous of our country, our kindness n hospitality n the harmonious n peaceful co-existence amongst our multi ethnic, multi-races, multi-religion n various cultures n beliefs that existed on this blessed land. They want to wrestle that from us. They want to disturb our peace n harmony...so what do they do? So they attack our youths' minds especially the majority Malay race. They sow the seeds of doubt in our youths' minds through mass media especially through the internet platforms. They spread unfounded n untruthful rumours about us. They play with our psyches..to weaken the spirits n confidence of our youths. They want to colonize us again..thru politics n emotions. So be very, very careful of what u read. Don't believe their facts n statements immediately, wholeheartedly and totally. Do not accept their negative facts about us at face value. Always check their facts first..the sources. Do background research. They try to disseminate lies here n there in unnoticeable way. Be very, very careful n choosy. Somehow they will always try to insinuate little lies here n there. So our youths have to be on alert. Jangan mudah terpedaya n tertipu dengan tipu muslihat dan permainan saikology mereka. As long as you stick to your ajaran Islam yang benar, you will not be swayed n tergelincir. So be proud of your race, culture n country. 💪💪💪Hope my "pesanan" will guide n help you..InsyaAllah. 😊🌹

[@TeleeFONE]

Don't let anyone tell you, you and your culture aren't special. Kalau kita perasan, orang2 yang mengata bangsa kita adalah bangsa2 penjajah.

[@safwanjamil3638]

This is just a theory I read but heavily canon I think, but traditional microtonal scales like what Siti sang here are mostly influenced from how muslims recite the Quran/Koran in singsongy way, properly known as tarranum. There's no actual, written down music theory was documented behind it, but somehow amidst all the microtones between the full and half step of notes, there is actually some sort of scale to be followed whenever there's a riff or run to be sang. You CAN get out of tune with the microtonal, mellismatic(?) if you're not doing it right. And about the instrumental, I think Chase's experience with Balinese gamelan could also give some insights. Coz if you think abt it, there's no main melody, n no chords actually played. All of the instruments are played rhythmically, different piece playing different, tiny bits of notes and rhythms here and there n they all combined to this ensemble perfectly. Kinda like if you listen to September by Earth, Wind and Fire. There's no actual melody line is played And that kind of instrumental concept like gamelan is heavily used and adapted to most Asian traditional music. N that allows the main instrument, be it flute, sitar, erhu, and even singers, to just go balls nut in their playing and BE the actual, and main song. Putting the focus of the performance on you and your voice mostly. Basically by having minimal to none of melody lines, no chords in the backing instrument like an orchestra would have, opened up so much freedom to BE THE SONG n cut down any rules of tunings or 12key notes or whtever it is in the western style of music. I couldn't explain it any better so yeah here's a half assed explanation I guess haha. Love the reaction and especially that stank faces. That's what you want tbh from ur performance. A professional musician making stank face listening to you. 🤣

I learnt this melismatic traditional malay musical style from Siti herself. Hahaha. She, in turn admitted that she learnt that singing technique from her mother who was a folk singer (Siti has always maintained that she's never had any formal vocal training). So it is very much a technique that we malays pretty much learn by ear. There are many malay singers who can sing in that style too tbh. But Siti has truly mastered that style and combined with her beautiful tone, the end result is just simply put, magical.

[@judithyeoh_isjudify]

You learned from Siti herself?!?! *A *

[@s_shaleh]

@@judithyeoh_isjudify well, not in person. Lol. I meant by listening to her. I've been a fan of hers since the 90s. So I basically got my vocal lessons by listening to her and imitating her singing style all the time as a kid. I'm not saying that I'm anywhere close to her as far as talent goes, but I could totally sing in this specific musical style. I've joined a few singing competitions growing up so I'm actually speaking from actual experience. Those subtle inflections and modulations of the voice (I say subtle but don't be fooled, they take years of practice to master) is definitely difficult but completely achievable.

[@lucthenerd]

I can see how it's a bit confusing to chase and melia. There's nothing like this music in the US, i guess. However, as an indonesian, it's really not all that foreign to me as in indonesia there are folk music styles similar to this, and there's dangdut as well. I'm excited they seem to have had fun discovering this type of music.

[@s_shaleh]

@@lucthenerd Yes, because this is Nusantara music that is also deeply rooted in the Indonesian culture, specifically in the Riau islands. As for dangdut, there are subtle differences (albeit very similar) as far as the lenggok (cengkok) or melismas go. But overall both singing styles require you to have very agile and loose vocal cords.

Hi Chase and Melia, thanks a lot for this reaction. You guys are my favorite now 😁. To answer your question about how do we learn this type of music, I'm not a musician/singer, but I think most Malay singers can sing this type of music. The difference however, some are better than the others. But Malays in general, we grow up listening to this type of music, so I think it's kind of an innate, in a way. But for Siti, she grew up with a mother who is a traditional singer. Means her exposure to this genre is a bit more compared to the others. And yes, the scale used in Malay traditional singing is similar to that in Indian/Bollywood/middle eastern/arabic music. Probably not a hundred percent but there are some similarities here and there. The second and third song she sings in this video (Balqis and Nirmala) are actually of a genre we in Malaysia called Ethnic Creative. It's a genre where traditional Malay music is combined or has influence of other Asian folk sound and the most commonly used is middle eastern (not sure why we love mixing our sound with middle eastern though😅 ) All the songs she sings here (except the last one) are super famous. Cindai, Balqis and Nirmala are some of her biggest hits actually.

Yes, back to a few years ago, radio n tv used to playe malay traditional songs a lot, mostly from Siti as shr released many traditional songs during her prime days.

This kind of Malay traditional genre song requires special singing technique , 'lenggok". If 1st time listening, we will be mistaken to Arabic or Hindi rythms. The runs, the diction, the tone. When you listen over and over , you will recognize the unique technique. Not everyone able to master the lenggok Melayu. Siti is of them who master it. Tq for your reaction❤️

[@mutiahms]

In Indonesia we call it "Cengkok"... It's rather hard to learn it.

She is a natural born singer. She sings from the heart and she doesn’t have to think about vocal placing or what so ever coz everything comes out naturally and it seems effortlessly.

[@muneirovalibas6194]

actually, yes she does have fantastic, almost generational vocal talent but its also naive to think she doesnt train extensively to finetune, polish and master her techniques. Just like an athtlete, a singer trains their vocal chords, which are essentially sort of muscles after all to keep them strong, flexible and dynamic. She made it seem effortless but people dont appreciate enough the behind the scenes affairs, this is the result of very hard work and effort.

She singing...sounds like angel when it comes to our Malaysian Traditional Instruments. Beside honoured by our loyal kings.She also Malaysia songsbird,Malaysia sweetheart. That is why Dato Sri Siti Nurhaliza ... she is still the no.1 singer in Malaysia. She is our pride .. Gem of Malaysia. When it comes to sing our traditional Malay's ..she will make us nailed when we heard. Everyone in Malaysia will love her voice.She is living legend since 1996 until now.You can search at wikipedia ..she is the one and only Malaysian's singer that have won so many awards, competitions ,great achievements either inside or outside our country.

When Dato Siti Nurhaliza first appeared on the music scene, she was widely adored by many not just for her melodious voice but also for her stunningly pretty Barbie doll appearance.

[@ritakisil1508]

Hi Chase and Melia…this is my second time watching your reaction, and on Siti Nurhaliza again. I like how you both do it, dissecting, explaining and exploring her style, her voice. I only listen to songs and what I like, I’ll enjoy, that’s about it. But listening to you two is like attending a workshop on artistic styles, etc, and I understand a little bit more about the appeal of Siti. The songs were a mixture of spiritual and traditional songs, the one with the moon in the background is a love song, if I’m not too far wrong. The Middle Eastern influence is quite obvious in some of the songs. Once again, great work you guys, i watch other reactors too but they don’t get into technicalities, so this has been very educational for me. One thing I’d like to add is that Siti is truly gifted, I’m actually not sure if she had formal training musically since first breaking into the entertainment scene as a 16yo schoolgirl. Cheers, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@cheli8330]

Her pullback voice actually has a lot to do with Malay values/culture. Knowing her as our local idol. I do believe it.

[@lyricsongs2089]

[@ainnossro]

i would never thought in my life that i would sit and watch somebody literally discussing the technicality of the voice and instrument for straight 38 minutes, it is mind blowing! wow! it is refreshing to see the westeners view of our malay traditional music. how you break down the tiny little details makes me think outside the box. i never know study of vocal can really go in depth and this is a very refreshing perspective that i gain today. i have so much more respect on vocal studies now and i can see how this can bring so much more knowledge to people when you want to learn music. one of the best 38 minutes of my life and thank you so much for reacting to Siti! i am def intrigued to join your live class now! cant wait!

It was a traditional songs from Malaysia, not been played too often in radio. Only few singers in Malaysia singing this genre, and they not doing too well if got to sing other genre.

All of the music sang by her during her performance in this video have an Arabic influence due to our country's history. Balqis and Nirmala genre of music is called Masri while Cindai is Zapin. Both of these genre of music has an Arabic influence in Malaysia. The traditional singing style that was sang by her we called it as Lenggok Melayu.

Yes this is the real statements , malay have arabic music influence more than india music. In fact india ragaa derives from middle east music.

[@edalandiisai]

siti nurhaliza has been a legend for almost 3 close to 4 generations already, old and young knows who she is or at least her songs here in east asia. especially malay countries because her songs appear almost everywhere, in dramas and all kinds of celebrations

[@thatgirl6158]

To answer your question, the songs she sang are called Malay classic songs. More like songs from our mom's generation. But it was our identity of Malays. So people still listen to these, just not on a regular basis. Siti also has been singing more updated pop songs to suit the current generation, but she has been known as someone who sang classical Malay songs. Malaysia is a multicultural country. We have malay, chinese and indians as our main races so it was not weird for our songs to have musical influence from China or India.

[@secrets.295]

This type of music definitely have a lot of Indian & Arabic influence. Malaysia was once a hindu majority country and have large Indian influence, wasnt until the 12th century that the arabs trade a lot here and slowly the population converted to Islam and started to impart their culture. If u listen to it carefully, some part of the song sounds bollywood, some part sounds like Arabic. The dancing is definitely Arabic influence, its similar to belly dancing that originates in the middle east. Also this is all her original songs. The reason why she was so huge is that she hits every single market in Malaysia. She sings pop for the younger generation, adult contemporary for middle age and traditional music for the older generation (even my late grandfather was a fan of her). Plus she has a very classy but humble personality and definitely helps that she is beautiful. Its like the total package. She sold close to 6 million albums, which is unheard of for many local artist in Malaysia and definitely for sure nobody can come close to her. She is like the Michael Jackson of Malaysia, she was that huge.

[@Ruriko.Y]

hindu as in the religion, not the people or culture. hindu malays back then is not the same as indians. don't get confused. however, the indian music influence does come from bollywood. i don't think southern indian culture in malaysia has any influence in the real traditional malay music except when sometimes modern composers use indian instruments in their music.

These songs all almost 20 years ago and yes we still listen to it in the local radio until today not just by the old generation but even the younger one, majority in the southeast Asia know these songs especially Nirmala, it have influence from Arab & India because Malaysia is a trading center in the middle of a trade route between West & East for hundreds of years in Malacca.

We have vocal class for this. I’ve learn all the common vocal style but this type of genre is really hard to learn. The most hardest vocal style .
