Wait, was she in the Mahogany Little Blue session?

I am blown away. You are authentic and real. Your reactions aren’t for views- they’re clearly because you are very musical, very passionate, above all else, strong enough to let yourself be vulnerable to the music, and let yourself experience it. This is worth millions compared to the crap which goes on elsewhere on this platform. Thank you for doing this. Please could you react to Jacob’s “Little Blue” in the church. It is astounding and so so powerful. Thank you.

I just discovered you. I like your comments and how you analyze with knowledge on the subject at hand. Tate in his prime was truly amazing as his tone was always so rich no mater the register. I will suggest another singer that you might want to analyze to addiction. Monica Naranjo from Spain. songs like; Ahora Ahora, Europa, sobrevivire. There is a rabbit hole for you.

I genuinely believe Jacob might be the greatest musician to ever live... and he is only just in his 30s

Lovely. I'll do that in the shower.

I recommend you a Spanish singer her name is Diana Navarro with the song "El perdón" she is a singer that transmits a lot when she sings and has incredible melismas. She is also very versatile when it comes to singing. She sings different musical styles. Best regards

Tru truth, singing together wow!

Every time I listen, İ watch this song, İ always end up crying, he is, in one word BEAUTİFUL, speechless. Good Lord, AMAZİNG!

Absolutely right i have this symptoms thanks dr❤

“Everybody sings. It’s your birthright.” Good Lord, man. That is beautiful and powerful.

I disagree with you regarding Elvis' vibrato. That's always been the one aspect of his singing that I find a bit lacking. To me, it sounds as if he didn't really know how to use vibrato, so he forced it to happen. A bit like Bryan Ferry. It still sounds fine, but it's pretty shaky, in my opinion. A popular singer with an excellent vibrato would rather be someone like David Bowie. I've never heard a better one than that. He had total control. That said, Elvis had an exceptionally diverse voice that could go from gorgeously tender notes to absolutely rip-roaring rock screams, and it all sounded good. Not to mention that this is easily the best cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" that I've ever heard.

I made a right decision 6 years ago about listening to EXO, one of the biggest choices I've ever made

Amor eterno from Juan Gabriel

I love your (emotional) reaction as a listener. That is what music can do to people. If there is almost nothing left in a deserted place, then at least let it be the music that remains.

Metal in the 80's, was blessed, with some really world class singers. Who knew in less than fifty years, computers would have to do all the singing.

“I” can’t (sing). I just don’t like the sound of my voice. Anyway. If you thought that was profound, there was a national choir director’s conference a few years ago where about 500 professionals, unrehearsed, sang Bach’s “Jesus Joy of Man’s Desiring” (it’s from a Cantata BWV 147 you can go look it up). Now Collier’s audience choir (which he said he unexpectedly started almost as an accident), is pretty profound and moving, but words cannot express how good this impromptu performance at the conference was. Group singing beats everything.

I am not a trained singer, but when I first saw this I was blown away. Thank you for your analysis - it confirms for me what a great performance this is

Here he talks about how he started with audience choirs: czcams.com/video/GkqTUuGDcFU/video.htmlsi=G42LAFWUxhi7Ar27&t=3451 At one of his concerts the audience spontaneously sang a chord, and he's been seeing how much he can build on that ever since.

I heard some people say his voice is reminiscent of Kermit the frog , rather cruel I thought .

Dear John, Once again we enjoyed watching your reaction to a song you heard for the first time. In this case Bridge over Troubled Water. And we agree with you that this music is being 'channeled' from another place. How fortunate that there is also a Jacob Collier around in these anxious times! And how fortunate that we know how to enjoy it. Thank you John for this video you made. Lots of love, Regine & Ronald 🙏

Loved every second of this reaction! Thank you!

This is vocal God territory. Geoff is one of the best to ever do it. I l8ve it when people discover Geoff, true raw talent. "Eyes of a Stranger" is a must

🙏🏻 ❤

You're an angel~ This is just what I needed to know & hear! I'm going to look for Vocal Mist brand now. I appreciate you. Have a blessed and beautiful day! ;o)

…when you don’t wear makeup while Listening to Jacob Collier music…

Im a little late to the table , i know. Im rediscovering journey and Steve Perry and have become obsessed again. ( I loved your thoughts on INXS's New Sensation)I had to come here and see what you had to say about this incredible voice and band. Thank you you didnt disappoint.

That last note just gives me serious goosebumps, every single time.

Ronnie grew up playing trumpet in Jazz groups (in the early to mid 50's when he was a kid - he was a big Harry James fan). That's where he learned how to support his voice - and his love for Jazz definitely informed his Metal style.

Your passion for singing and music is evident. Thanks for sharing your soul with us.

PS: John, as a prof singer, I SO enjoy watching you & hearing your detailed listening of music...It gives me joy to experience it with you on your videos ..thanks! Just saying🤗👍👏

Yes....JC's use of vowels is wonderful...& notice, when he's harmonizing with someone else...he softens his vowels to blend with them 👍🎶

I got a new laptop, JUST so I could get this Audience Choir App....it is SO Cool!!!!!😃👏👍

Lara Fabian is another singer you should listen to and be impressed. Like Dimash, she knew at age 5 that she is a singer. Dimash began instruction at age 5. He is working on his PhD now. He wants to improve his talented performances and never stops learning. I am a huge fan and I enjoyed your explaining what Dimash does with his voice. You have done a good job with your explanation.

This whole concert is worth a watch! Especially "Queen of the Ryche" and "The Lady Wore Black" 🤘

This recording brought me to tears as I have fond memories singing this song with my mother as a child. Their performance in this was just spectacular and I wish I was a member of that audience. Thank you once again for sharing your reaction!

Karens voice is just magic. Gorgeous!

Thank you. I shared your emotional reaction to this. I am part of a church where congregational four+ part singing is still valued but kind of diminishing. In my view it is so significant to our theological understanding for a church like ours which is very much "of the people" with not much stock in priests, who might be akin to the professional musicians you speak of inadvertently making the rest of us forget we can do this too. I found much hope in this performance. Not to mention how impressive to see Jacob not only conduct the audience (which we've seen many times), but while singing over it and having arranged for the symphony to accompany at the same time. Feels like history in the making.

I was expecting some technical breakdown, but you touched on something much deeper. I've been lucky enough to see both Laufey and Jacob live recently (not at the same time!) and their performances are really something special.

Very good analysis by John, not only about Dio's great singing but also of the band

RJD the king

I'm jealous man...😂ye buddy he's good ( by Jim Carrey style)gggooooood😂

Happens to me every time as well. What a joy it was to experience it on a JC concert

I really appreciate how you technically analyze the way BTS sings. Your description is fire.

Loved watching this together with you. You were so respectful to the performance (unlike some other reacts). And I guess you got as emotional as many of us watching these performances. Much love John!

Thank you for reacting to this. I listened to your other reactions to Jacob Collier, too, and knew this would be great. I love the idea of a musilanguage. I'm also reminded of Bobby McFerrin's TEDTalk (which is amazing), and Jacob just takes it to a whole other level. The future of music is in good hands.

Hi. Just wanted to point out, the face you make while looking straight at the camera at 9:08 is a gorgeous example of expressing pure, unabashed, *divine* joy. It's something else. Something rare while on this playground we call life, to manage to, at least for a moment, let all illusions go and connect to the love underneath every fiber of our beings. That is such a gift. Something music and people like Jacob are capable of giving us. These moments, here and now. It's wonderful.

John, you need to make more Barbra videos. This and my man were such a joy to watch, so much to learn

Angelic
