Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams - New Zealand Vocal Coach Analysis and Reaction

[@yashraut8758]

Mansion's voice is legendary

[@monickalynn4365]

I think M.M. sounds like himself,he does have a unique sound.Very cool sound imo

[@luchiyo]

I don't understand nothing about music (technics, etc), I just love music and art. I've never heard a music from MM before (!!). But this version, for me, is one of the best music I ever heard. All the video is perfect, his performance, the other instruments, the host enjoying, the respect, the fans, this video touched me so deeply... how I love to see moments like that I saw all the time in this video... the singer enjoying, the fans, an unexpected version of a wonderful music, this is art... thank you for this impartial analysis (after saw for the first time, I searched more about him, and well, I just think this video is very, very incredible - just how you enphasized: "no judgement", I just love the art). Thank you again.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Hi Luciana, thank you! I really appreciate it thank you. I try to be as impartial as possible because I believe art doesn't need judgement, there is a place for everyone in the world of music.

[@karenbuckley5842]

Just found this today Googling MM vocal reactions and yours is the best!!! This live performance was vocally astounding!!! Glad SOMEONE took notice xx

[@tyleredwards9382]

Might be top 5 covers all time

Legend🔥

[@EnervatedSociety]

Marilyn Manson is not the greatest singer but his voice works really well on his albums imo. There's some good songs in his catalog too, again imo. If I were forced to listen to say, Dimash (clearly a master at his craft, no doubt) or Marilyn Manson for the rest of my life, I would choose Marilyn Manson without question because at the end of the day it's about the songs to me. I'm not saying that as some big MM fan either. I really not. it's just music I would actually listen to for the songs. I never listen to Dimash for just the sake of the song. Not really my thing, but that's me.

[@klepcik]

he was very good singer, he had a voice that could span four octaves and produce five different tones simultaneously. He's had problems with his voice before, and now he's just old. I recommend listening to concerts from 1995-1998 where he was singing sweet dreams when he was top in terms of screams and voice.

[@klepcik]

his career ended for me in 2012 because It was a time when he had already spoiled his voice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fILFfX6qrcupnqM look at this performance from 2009, it sounds amazing.

[@alc3062]

Vocally, the original cover of sweet dreams is probably is best work on my opinion. His voice on those trilogy of albums was just so sonically compelling and potent. Infact the band as a whole just kept getting better and better. Unfortunately this performance is during his older years and I believe he didn't take care of his voice and I think he was drinking heavily during this time.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Ah ok, thanks for the info. I wasn't aware that he drank. You never know, I liked the performance too (not sure about the spitting at the end 😵‍💫)

[@sambbk7203]

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach Yeah honestly, in a way you haven't heard the song yet. Which is a shame.

[@senhorshuri5120]

Unique

[@marchanix5752]

The official music video release of Manson's cover was in 1996. I quite enjoy it. This performance was garbage. Thank you for listening to it for us anyway and giving some vocal technique pointers.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Thank you.

[@tattoodude8946]

Given that Manson long ago destroyed his vocal cords with uncontrolled screaming, he still manages to sound pretty dang good all these years later. And before the Manson fans come in like I'm hating on him, I'm not. Tom Waits has vocal cords that are absolutely shredded and yet he is one of the most brilliant singers in the world as far as I'm concerned. At nearly fifty myself, I have been a Manson fan from day one. No hate on him, but his voice is mangled compared to the way he started and not in a way that comes from healthy singing - even for metal.

[@hanssprungfeld917]

name of black haireds girl @1:31 ???

[@bayurahmadi7754]

Thats my wife 😎

[@politicalscientist8880]

love to talk to you zoe... i make music but im so flat singing... my daughter is three and can sing... genuinely. im not tone deaf because i can hear myself being flat. its weird. but i know my daughter can sing and i cant hold a note

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Because pitch is learned and not inherited. Work with nail the pitch a free app available for your phone and you can get better at your pitching.

[@eriklind8489]

nice reaction. i love Annie's version...in is quicker, upbeat and portrays the positive side of the song....I also love Marilyn's version..it is slower, darker and portrays the more negative side of the song....BTW, the video version is much better.

[@politicalscientist8880]

despite the pretty setting... he made sure this was a MM show...

[@legolesscheese-wheel69]

Interesting reaction thanks. His voice is sounding great again on We Are Chaos, this performance defs wasn't my favourite

[@bkr1203]

This is not eurythmics song anymore. Manson covered it in 1995 and made it way better. It’s known as a Manson song now.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Hmm still a cover of a Eurythmics song.... you can't "take" ownership over a song like that.... unless he bought the rights?

[@_a.lel_]

it... doesn't work like that. Yeah it basically sounds like a completely different song, but it's still a cover. And it will forever be

[@twicemotion4293]

Hello! I love your content 💗 Do you think you can react to Jihyo’s A late night of 1994? Please!

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Thank you!!! ;) I will add it to the list!

[@acidmardigras6235]

Sweet Dreams by MM I will never listen to. MM IS....my favorite artist.

[@_a.lel_]

this performance honestly kinda makes me disappointed, mostly because MM doesn't sound like he used to be, not anymore, and the people wre applauding only because he is MM, if it was a random guy everyone would've booed and made fun of him. Not to mention that literally nobody, not even the show host gave credit to Bates, wich isn't just a random guy at all

[@RobertWilliams-hj8rr]

As a long time fan of his, i struggle to watch this performance, his vocals were the worst i think they've been, i would reccomend his cover of working class hero.

[@Nichwar19]

I dont know him very well but he sounds great to me. Its all about emotions after all and he gives that

[@joelo6516]

its sad you miss the main point he likes and put passion in it and you think it like wehen you paid to do a commercial actually learn from him and put heart in work

[@claytidwell]

I just laughed.....lol

[@quantaVastitude2021]

😆 🤣 no way he can't sing these kind of slow songs he must do heavy because hide that he can't sing this kind of music. Nevertheless he is the most unique human i ever seen on this planet as public figure i give him credit for that.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Hey Maria! He is just doing his thing 🤟

[@TheStryper777]

To be honest, if he weren’t Marilyn Manson and this was just a random dude doing a cover, he’d get booed off stage. 😢

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Probably, the spitting was ew!

[@ankh-ef-en-khonsu3274]

ooof his vocals at this stage of his life are not suited for these performances any more. they were barely before, but now his voice is do damaged.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

You think? Has he damaged his voice? It sounds very pressed imo and a bit forced but each to their own.

[@bradyjohnson7705]

Not anymore he sounds good now

[@AtlasCompleXtheProd]

He does not sound as good as he used to :0 he looks much older here so i assume it's more recent. Sounded MUCH different to hear him before, sucks this is the vid she found :/

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Because we can't just write singers off when they get old 🤔 I choose recent performances to get an idea of where they are at now 😉

[@AtlasCompleXtheProd]

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach would just be curious to also see what your take on his abilities and techniques would be to a video of him being able to do what he was attempting

[@bradyjohnson7705]

Check his new pic n see he looks 20 yrs younger

[@میثمفلاح-ح6و]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🧟‍♂️👿

[@daviddivad4461]

He is really butchering it. The worst version of him performing this song, hope he is better now that he is sober, having high hopes. His live performances really declined since golden age.

[@paulchapman2569]

It's sad he's performing now. He's become a sad parody.

[@henieto]

as a fan..this is horrible!

[@StevenEverett7]

I'm sorry. I loved the original. I had to turn this one off after about 25 seconds. He may be good at what he does but this really offended my ears. I did give you a thumbs up though since that's not your fault Zoe. Cheers, Steve

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

I agree with you there Steve! I love the original. I just like the different take he makes ;) Thanks for the thumbs up though! ;)

[@tyleredwards9382]

It's a brilliant cover in my opinion. I hate when people just try to mimic. At least he totally made the sound original

[@StevenEverett7]

@@tyleredwards9382 I agree with you about mimicking. I've heard many covers different than the original that I enjoy such as Disturbed's Sound of Silence. However, as I said, this gentleman may be good at what he does but I still don't care for it. It's simply a matter of taste.

[@ZimZum4ever]

Marilyn Manson version 1995 Is the beat cover all the time of sweet dreams

[@herbarr9426]

Bla bla bla bla , is easy to find mistakes in others , go to try to make songs that move around the world ....then you have the right to talk.....

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

It wasn't finding mistakes... simply pointing out things in his voice.

[@tattoodude8946]

First, I hate to burst your bubble but, as a nearly fifty-year-old fan of Manson from day one, he destroyed his vocal cords over the years by being drunk/high and just screaming uncontrollably on stage. I think he can still make music and sing, but he has a very unhealthy way of creating his sound and consequently, there is much he cannot longer achieve vocally. He clearly has caused himself permanent vocal damage. Second, what she said was 100% valid and not being negative at all. She is encouraging people to not destroy their vocal cords like he has. Pointing out the real dangers of his "technique" is valid. Third, saying that someone can only criticize someone else if they out-achieve them is not good logic. So, no one can ever say anything bad about Taylor Swift's music? You've never said, "This sucks," when some song comes on the radio. By that logic, you have never done that because they clearly achieved more than you in the musical field. Anyone can critique based on their knowledge of a subject. It's just an opinion and I don't think there is any need to get offended *FOR* Marilyn Manson! He's doing alright! 🤣
