Was this a good song choice? Vocal Coach Reacts to Katy Perry 'Greatest Love of All' LIVE

[@flippineck2825]

The only person who does Whitney, Celine, Christina etc any justice is Jessie J. Absolutely underrated.

[@federicog2542]

For real!!

[@furbl4345]

Chappell Roan and Gaga can also belt but no one belts like Whitney though.

[@romulofreireeee]

Yes

[@tb1989.]

you're definitely forgetting about Kelly Clarkson! JoJo! Tori Kelly!...

[@ray4real24]

​@@furbl4345 Omfg don't ever say Chappell Roan can belt like Whitney that's insane💀🤦🏿‍♂️ Gaga's vibrato is really heavy not like Whitney at all

[@bjarnyg]

3:11: did someone in the audience shout "leave it"?🤣

[@dominicghiotti235]

She’s always just belted and hoped for the best

[@speaknowethansversion]

have you not seen her performances of the song in vegas????

[@NotAFan-vl6hu]

😂😂😂😂

[@sarac.3568]

Exactly! She's the prime example of someone who has not worked AT ALL on their voice. She had potential but (unlike Rihanna for example) she didn't work on her voice. And somehow, during her prime career years, everyone was sort of pushing this concept that she's a great singer. She had potential to be one I think, but she just fell short. This is why she DARED to sing Whitney I believe. This is also the case with people auditioning (badly) for talent shows with difficult songs and falling short - their whole lives family and friends perhaps told them their voices are amazing. I think I have a decent voice BUT I would never dare dream sing Whitney, Celine, Mariah, Christina,...

[@furbl4345]

"hope for the best" is prolly best to describe this performance 😅

[@ray4real24]

So real😂😂

[@codiemullins3240]

I saw her sing this live at her show play in Vegas. She was phenomenal that night.

[@macintyredunning]

Georgian being so kind yet inside quietly dying listening to this!!!!!!

[@desireelachante1284]

I kinda wish Georgina makes a cover of it!

[@furbl4345]

Katy is brave to attempt to sing this acoustically 😅

[@samuelaurelio7484]

You are so kind!!

[@ShaunMcAllister]

Hi Georgina. Loved this reaction. I think your reactions are at their best when you give us all of the details about the shaping, singing the vowels, explaining the tricky parts in songs moving between chest and head. I love all your reaction vids , but especially these detailed ones. Fab. As a big KP fan, even I must admit I feel she perhaps hasn't found her lane since coming back to the charts. But I'll keep listening all the same (even if I have to skip the second track on the new album every time🙈). Shes got a lot of new artists to compete with who have a totally different sound nowadays. PS Happy new home x

[@Lovebirdd]

the thing about katy is she HAS a voice that sounds great when it's on...but it can also sound REALLY bad, like REEAAAALLY bad. what's up with that.

[@stefanolm95]

Your hair looks stunning!

[@Aydan131]

What was she thinking? To sing any Whitney song you have to be an outstanding singer, not Katy Perry😅...

[@quents]

She’s fabulous for a throwback 😅😅😅😂😂😂

[@mariahcareylambilyy]

I know this performance wasn't good but she has sung this song a lot of times during her play residency and did great. I heard she had technical issues this day

[@speaknowethansversion]

pretty sure she was drunk 😭 she sounded phenomenal during her residency

[@antoncannon7279]

To think she is a judge on one of the most well known talent competitions.. And judges others vocals who are obviously way above her own capabilities is wild!

[@marcosdeoliveira6072]

You are so gentle😂😂😂😂.

[@JAN-qf5yt]

Bobbie Eakes did a fantastic job on that song way back in 2003 as her character Macy Alexander on daytime show "The Bold and the Beautiful". Highly recommended (if you won't get distracted by chandelier falling on her head right after the performance, I kid you not). Katy Perry was always a very limited vocalist so it's not a surprise she couldn't pull that off but at least kudos for pushing herself and trying.

[@rolandbaldwin]

Respect for citing Macy/Bobbie. I wept bitter tears when Macy died in that car crash.

[@FrownRice]

She was going from cursive singing, to bold, then to italic 😅 keep it comic sans Katy! Hahah

[@superbalways8035]

Then Algerian 😂

[@Jessy9991]

Just realised Katy Perry is Comic Sans as an artist

[@thegrantshow11]

This is what cost Kamala the election

[@e.mmaanuel]

You can tell it was definitely not a good vocal day for her cause when she sang it at her residency it sounded real good

[@lindseyqueenstirling]

You should watch Katy singing this song in play her Vegas recidency she did amazing every night, this particular show wasn’t a great night for Katy vocaly she struggle a lot in all the songs so I think we should give her another opportunity watching the performance of this song in PLAY

[@FigureNastics]

A singer with any kind of training should know all about vowel modification! The closed vowels were such a big issue here!

[@flippineck2825]

She just shouts and meows.. and sometimes both at the same time.

[@Down4U]

This is bad. Like bad. I like Katy, but she’s not known for her voice and taking on Whitney is diabolical. But hope she had fun.

[@george-kl6gs]

I disagree katy perry is a good music artist but katy perry has had multiple performances with her music voice

[@romanarts6645]

Sometimes ppl just wanna sing something they like 😭😭😭 Katy has clips of singing and talking about this song since before she got famous! Let's not dog on her for no reason

[@aimveryhigh]

She is known for her voice… this was just an awful performance lol. She sang this really well multiple times before

[@speaknowethansversion]

have you not seen her performances of the song in vegas????

[@e.mmaanuel]

It’s bad but honestly it’s maybe from the quality of the live as well cause she did it justice during her residency and sounded good

[@johnbrown4949]

She doesn’t have the depth to dig deep, the range or the same pain and energy Whitney had to sing that song.

[@DA-ho2pf]

I think she was off this night, she performed this at her Play Las Vegas residency and sounded fantastic. Also her last two albums are not as bad as everyone claims 😭😭 but ya know, jumping on a bandwagon is always more fun I guess 🙄

[@heatheralcantar2545]

She has a great voice she just has no control

[@ThatChrisPryce]

Another person to add to the list that gets a pass to sing Whitney/Celine is 100% Jessie J. She does a phenomenal job. Katy was diabolical, and you’re right, it’s like it was put together the day before. ❤

[@Paul-mi5ml]

Kelly clarkson as well.

[@p.m.6064]

That is true about Jessie. Sadly, her own music is rather mediocre. I’m sure if she had been around during the 89s/90s, she would have been given lots of great grand ballads. But sadly, the era of ballads is over.

[@Rik77]

I think the only people ive been convinced of singing whithey is Arianna and Claire Richards. They have the chops for it.

[@flippineck2825]

Jessie J absolutely blows them all out of the park. Probably close to blowing Whitney out the park, tbh.

[@romanarts6645]

Jessie J did it really well. Celine Dion also covered this song really well.

[@Ya-Ya-Ya-I-Am-Lorde]

Kelly Clarkson

[@Theeldritchwitch]

Kelly Clarkson's I will always love you was also great

[@crazycatpetera1404]

I wouldn’t say so.. Ariana lacks power. She can get away with it but I’ve never seen her do a strong cover. Jessie J’s was very good though

[@jorenkinna4647]

You have to watch the version from the "play" show, Here her voice wasn't warmed up, and just wasn't awesome that day

[@leonardourbani7927]

She actually sang these two songs as the finale of her Play Las Vegas Residency and almost all of the performances were better than this. Not perfect, but better than this, and actually enjoyable. In some of them she even did a great work. This one just didn't work. But she actually wasn't the only one to sing worse than usual that evening.

[@treeking36]

I just commented this

[@Franniiv3]

lol loved the Coming to America reference, you're so right! Hope Katy gets it right next time xo

[@grantrule6593]

Great Reaction

[@StefyB5]

I'm sorry, don't get me wrong, I like some of Katy Perry's songs, just not live because I think she can't really sing live, just in studio. She is a good performer, just not a real singer. Whitney is extremely difficult and you gotta know what you're doing if you decide to sing one of her songs, especially the ballads like this one because there's a lot of voice and a lot less music and effects that can cover your mistakes if any occurs. This really hurt my eardrums and my heart because I adore Whitney ❤

[@romanarts6645]

Katy has plenty of performances of this song that sound great (not nearly as good as Whitney but who is), this one had technical issues in the sound system and microphone.

[@eroook6968]

I have been there live 👀 and she actually performed four songs, so having a more quiet and intimate song was a very well choice 😅 it helped a lot since a lot of people were living before after Kamalas speech and in the beginning everything was very hectic. And after people were more calm this helped

[@eroook6968]

Also the whole rally was really improvised, since they had to change the venue a day before.

[@eroook6968]

And Andra Day was also performing, really can recommend looking at her performance since it was incredible from a vocal perspective imo

[@simplysimlish377]

apparently there was technical issues not confirmed though.

[@colino72]

Technical issue - she can’t sing this song.

[@CTqueenie]

Oh my goodness, when you brought up Eddie Murphy in Coming to America...that's what came to my mind before you even said it! Have seen some lovely, impactful performances from Katy. You're spot on: She's just trying to do far too much with this.

[@b.k8051]

your explanations and technique suggestions are so easy to understand and agreeable. after you say it, i'm like, she's totally right! lol really goes to show you most singers are only good at singing their own songs. katy perry has that yodel thing that Alanis Morrisette and Sinead O'Connor do. She should do their songs if anything....

[@MariahIsSkinnyFuckBlueLives]

Right? I was listening to the isolated vocals from "California Gurls" and thought she made a lot of really good stylistic choices (her inflections fit the sort of sassy/flirty/fun vibe of the song perfectly). Ask her to sing anything that's not an uptempo bubblegum pop bop...you never know what you're going to get lmao

[@andyr8577]

Idk, I’d also like to add the public is so biased with some people. Katy always gets away with her iffy vocals when others (let’s say JLo for example) get criticized to no end lol.

[@BaddieRiah]

Well that’s because Jlow deserves it. She’s a horrible person lol

[@JK-zu1np]

To be fair, its because JLo never sings with just a acoustic guitar and with emotions. Katy does.

[@bjarnyg]

10:01 the reason she chose to do this song is probably cause she has no self insight.

[@Marcus-zb7ov]

WHO told her that’s a good choice is beyond me 😂😂

[@rosscaw82]

Sorry but Whitney would not be keen on this version I don’t know what she was thinking

[@thepopfiles4294]

You’re absolutely not being “picky”….it was awful 😂 and it’s such a beautiful song, could have been great. But I don’t think she has the chops to execute it. Even some of her own songs she doesn’t sing well live. She tried I guess 😂

[@lProjectZerol]

8:52 you sounded so good omg

[@kevinmurphy5920]

•Katy Perry

[@andyr8577]

In my very unprofessional opinion, Perry is a performer, not a vocalist. I’d even go as far as saying some of the spice girls were better vocalists than she is.

[@arthurdaniels3559]

Sporty spice is 100%

[@nh2201]

This isnt Whitneys song, she did a cover.

[@JohnSimpson36]

This is like Fergie all over again

[@rhettmitchell]

Not many people can do Whitney. Kelly, Ariana, Christina, Leona, Jennifer have done really well. Some others that I can’t think of rn, but like Kelly says, there’s some stuff you shouldn’t touch (unless you’re Kelly or another super-talented professional lol)

[@bjarnyg]

the greatest flaw of all.

[@arenni13]

Oh dear 😂, not sure about firework - sounds like one of those screaming rockets

[@rydbthatsme]

One thing I will note as bad as this rendition is that H sound you like to harp on was done famously by Whitney herself

[@tylerhackner9731]

I like Katy but taking on Whitney Houston is nonsensical

[@Mauri5io]

Your voice is out of sync starting around 9:35 which is annoying. :(

[@danceodyssey2008]

Katy Perry is a bad vocalist and at this point of her career I don’t think she’s ever going to improve. That was bad for karaoke, never mind a big stage and event like that.

[@mhamedkasasni]

just let Nicole Scherzinger takes on this one

[@guillaumeguaymorin]

Hey Georgina 👋😊

[@J0RD2K7]

her name is spelt Katy

[@mylittlepeonies8693]

Who is advising her?

[@madonnaX]

What on earth is happening, luv katy but the amounts of errors are kinda more than normal.

[@justinemerson1340]

Ariana Grande has covered Whitney Houston well before(I will always love you). Love Katy but not sure she is on that range level.

[@findingmybliss5713]

I would have preferred Christina she has the agility and natural power to her voice to connected with the song more naturally, Katy is OK but I feel she is used moving around a lot on the stage especially with a song like that. Whitney would have moved in, keeping with the tone of the song, which probably would taken centre stage with nothing but a mic and her voice ❤

[@findingmybliss5713]

Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Lady Gaga, Celine , or Mariah could did song justice, but I believe they would do it in respect not in replacement of Whitney and would probably choose a different song entirely

[@faramiomir]

It was a rather mediocre performance, really. She had struggled throughout, quite noticeably.

[@lProjectZerol]

I love how honest you are. She was bad and too much

[@reedtikana1024]

She can really sing she’s a powerhouse vocalist but her biggest problem is that she tends to fluke her performances, I know she has vocal coaches but it seems like she doesn’t fully implement technique when she lands her shot, if she did she would shut everyones mouth up

[@F-I74]

This was really really a bad choice...so far from WH quality .

[@charlottearena]

I just love listening to your reactions, perfect analysis, maybe Katie could use you as a vocal coach, me thinks. I felt uncomfortable listening to this, why did she choose this song.... Yikes. I personally loved George Benson's rendition of this song.

[@benwell7384]

The only singer who can sing Whitney’s Songs is Glennis Grace

[@Kaykiie]

Well, I love watching your videos but this time I really felt that you took Katy to your personal side and not professional and honest like you used to be... We all know that Katy choosing to perform a Whitney song was not a good thing, but you dropped hints about who she should and shouldn't work with and that doesn't concern you. Katy is a FREE woman and artist and since 2008 she has been delivering songs and messages of love, joy, kindness and overcoming and all she has received is free hate. And I believe a woman your age should know your own place. And YES, you are totally in a bad mood... Anyway, that's my opinion. I love your channel and I think you are an excellent vocal coach

[@kendrabryant4738]

This is awful! I’m sorry, but it is. Unless you’re a great vocalist like Kelly Clarkson, Ariana Grande, etc. you just shouldn’t touch Whitney Houston’s songs.

[@user-gp9kg8do3h]

Unpopular opinion: I don't think Katy Perry has a great singing voice, it's enough for some popmusic with limited vocalrange, but i really don't like her like live and i hate Fireworks, it's a crappy song and really hurt my ears.

[@IGCSESUCCESS]

You’re too polite in this reaction video. She was awful - there was nothing good about this performance. It was pitchy, shambolic, a complete embarrassment.

[@sakischaris5475]

And you are too rude

[@EthylAlcohol-n6f]

Since when is yelling considered singing???

[@ARMEND-y1h]

listen how she performs this song on her Play residency. It’s way better than

[@NN-jd5ul]

This song is way toooo advanced for Katy!

[@WayneHayward-ci3ez]

Only whitney can sing whitney no one as that tone

[@ardent.arch93]

I just wish you were this honest when you are reacting to Mariah Carey's concert where she lipsyncs all the time (And you pretending not to notice it).

[@scamila17]

She has covered Mariah plenty. Lipping and vocal issues are 2 different things. A lot of great singers lipsynch. Doesn't mean they can not sing live.

[@terencejulius5352]

shut ur hating ass up lipped or not Mariah Carey sound better than your test tube musty latch key kid face ass bitch......Hating on a Legend won't get you cool points

[@treeking36]

Katy has sang this twice before and she did OK on both times but she absolutely fell apart in this one

[@kingpuppet5881]

Katie Perry that the on purpose! She wanted to sabotage Kamala Harris this is why Trump won. 🤣. My cat can sing the song better.

[@eliastweme6442]

Love Katy, the performance wasn’t the best cause also she had terrible technical issues in that setting But she sang this song live before many times and was wonderful

[@ianryan5840]

Shockingly bad from Perry!

[@celticbro1]

Not the best version of this song. I think the George Benson's original version is still the best.

[@marconeyvalverde9183]

Cantó horrible!

[@robertkarlsson1313]

Katy Perry butchered this... 😢

[@stephenbishop7962]

Never let her ruin a Whitney long. No match. Disgusting. 😮

[@whatsup7535]

She wasn't at her best truly, but she still sounded good enough. You haters could never do that. 😂😂

[@TheOtherAlexis]

Yikes. 2024 has not been friendly to her.

[@findingmybliss5713]

Also, I just think she isn't the best live vocalist, just my opinion

[@gabZ0-p7d]

she missed a really good chance to make a good performance. :(

[@EthylAlcohol-n6f]

She couldn’t carry a tune around in a bucket.

[@nh2201]

When did you turn into such a Katy hater, are you trying to get the Gaga stans on your page or what ?

[@pricedmedici5247]

😂 KP is bad

[@sufyaan.faisal]

I think she was doing it all out of passion for Kamala to win and for freedom and rights especially women rights so didn't really think too much into it vocally. Perhaps it was last minute too and not rehearsed too. I think she was into it emotionally with the passion too.

[@Itsryebailey]

Bloody awful 😂😂

[@george-kl6gs]

Honesy vocal coach We have billie eilish fantastic music artist

[@addadd-nk9rq]

Katy demonstrated a hundred times she can slay this song at her Play residency, but ofc, we can all hate her once again cause this is the trend, don t we? IT HAS BEEN PART OF THE PLAY SOUNDTRACK AT LEAST THIS YOU ALL SHOULD KNOW BEFORE CRITICISE HER! And after it there is Firework in the setlist.😭 not her best day ofc, but sad of you.

[@tomaszknapik4333]

imagine she is so bad singer live and she is so famous and some ppl probably paid for this "show"
