- In this video, I react for the first time to Chester Bennington performing 'Given Up' with his band, Linkin Park. In this video, I analyse his amazing performance, explain and demonstrate his vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great.
Chester is undoubtedly one of the best vocalists in rock history, as this performance demonstrates. Chester's legacy will certainly endure and inspire many vocalists around the world!

Thank you SO MUCH for the incredible support! ✨
The Little Things Give you Away is my absolute favorite song of his. Its absolutely beautiful.
now u need Linkin Park cover rolling in the deep
I've watched a lot of Vocal Coaches analyzing Chester's vocals, but yours might be by far my favorite. You go through points most people don't even think about. Good job. Please do more of Chester Bennington
Thank you so so much Donnie, I will 🥰💜
@@TheFairyVoiceMother Personal suggestion I would highly recommend checking out QWERTY (Summer Sonic Tokyo 2006) and Live in Texas - A place for my head
In both these videos Chester pushes his voice to the extreme

Not even 5 min into watching this video and I'm already decided to subscribe 😂 She's fuxking cool. Awesome video and awesome personality.
And she also demonstrate what she's talking about.
Exactly what i was thinking about
She wasn’t a critic judging his singing , She was a fan that was describing him in truth That’s what makes this awesome
That's becoz chester really is a superb singer with amazing technique. Try shouting like that for 2 hrs or the duration of a concert. A normal person will lose their voice after 15 mins. And he does it for concerts upon concerts. Attending a Linkin Park concert was well worth the money and an eye opener. I'm glad I got to see a legend in action before his passing.
I know many will say they wished you did the version where he holds a 17 second scream.
And it is insane.
But I do think this video/Concert is the best to react to, the emotion in Chester, hitting himself and living the lyrics he sings on the stage.
Its so clear that those words resonated to him, as they resonate with so many who listen to the music all over the world.
There is a difference between the "feeling depressed" and actual mental illness.
Not that feeling depressed can't hurt a lot, like all the big feelings, love, and anger it will take over your body, and day.
But suffering from actual chronical mental illness, that often come with chronical depression, is something else.
Its just something you can't escape. No matter of success, love or self understanding will ever take it away, it will always be there, turning the best of everything against you.
Often to a point where you just try to contain it on the inside, so it does not hurt those around you. When you understand you will never escape it, and it will always hurt you, that is when the battle come. Because that is when you no longer fight for yourself. But those around you, those you care for.
And that fight is often very isolated, and in our modern day, you not only have to carry that fight. But the world around you.
Mental health is still one of those things in the medical world where humans has a long way to go. A lot of what is done, and how its viewed does more damage than good.
And as we see with Chester, it does not matter who you are. Chronical mental illness is one of the hardest things to live with. And unlike many other illnesses, the help is very limited.
Linkin Park always meant a lot to me, I was a teenager when they made it big. And they made so many amazing songs. And the influence they had on music is almost unrivaled, so many modern bands was and is influences by LP..
I do have an emotional favorite song though.
I have "some" tattoos, and I have designed them myself, with the old Norse way of being used to tell my own story with them.
So I do not have things from songs, or poems, or pictures whatever.
Other than one thing. LP have a song called " This is my December " Not one of there most known, but I listened to it a lot.
And I have in my tattoo the " This is my December " as a ode to LP. the only connection I have to any lyrics or band, so it means something.
It also made sense because I am born in December, so it still tells that story. plus other connections to December.
But for that reason I would say that is the most important LP song for me, can't say if its my favorite.
I agree that "God" scream is insane
Love that you shared that with us, when you relate, it's deep, all the best x
Completely agree. I'm a CBT therapist here in the UK, and so much of what we do is very "prescriptive", like a one-size-fits-all, which in fairness DOES work for MOST people, but the assumption that it will then work for everyone is really harmful. More often than not my therapy ends up turning much more into "just having a nice chat", because sometimes people just need someone, anyone, to be there.
@@control2XS Indeed. Its a big issue that mental healthcare when is done best, is done the same way all other medical issues are handled. Because that is not a good way to deal with it. There are no book that can give you ONE correct answer to deal with something, its not a broken bone, its not a virus. Its different from every patient, and on top of that, every patient will need a different way to deal with it, the same way some people is allergic to some medication. But as you say, its very much box thinking. And many doctors think they have the answer, the answer a book told them years ago, so they often forget to listen. Or is just so restricted by the system, that they can't really offer anything that would help. Often people with chronical mental illness gets "help" for a large amount, but it does nothing. And if you helped them outside the fixed system. Then you could give them much more meaningful help for a much lower cost.
But the system is build to fail. And its still very much a stigma, so there are few speaking the case of it, even though its one of the biggest issues human face in the modern age.
Cancer patients have TV shows, public campaigns, massive funding. Year after year. Mental illness is lucky if they get public funding. There is no tv shows or national funding campaign. Despite more suffer from mental issues than cancer.
An other way to highlight the issue.
You have a doctor for the eyes, one that deals with bones. One for when your lungs have an issue. and so on.
Mental illness has more different diagnosis than all the others combined. Yet there is one doctor for everything, One doctor that is meant to deal with all the different types. Imagine if you where told the eye doctor was gonna be the one who did your heart surgery.
The way humans think mental healthcare needs to be redone. completely.
The way you put depression in the words you said it made me realize that it is one of the most difficult things to deal with in life, but we can get through it with the help of friends and family. Finding someone else who is into Norse Mythology like me makes me feel not alone it the sense that we just want a community and that we want to protect in any way we can.
I have a hard time watching Chester literally BECAUSE you can see the anguish on his face to replicate the emotion he's feeling, knowing what we all know now after 2017 happened.
But, I still listen. He was such an inspirational person to me, given the fact of his screwed up childhood, yet able to focus that into an art that has helped millions over the years, including myself. RIP Chester. Always.
We miss Chester for sure...this was such a great breakdon and explanation of some screaming technique! Thank you Lolli! A reaction of "lost" would be amazing, it really hits
Every time I hear him I remember a phrase " He screams like a demon and sings like an angel" and that's best definition for his singing.
He definitively channelled Humans are a fallen race of sinners, that can be saved and redeemed.
This song is how I feel EVERY DAMN DAY .. and knowing this song exists and others have gone through what I'm going through is helping fight every day..... I'm hoping I win the fight but someday I think I'm losing .......
In a "making of" video for Given Up, chester makes a joke about singing into a popper stopper. "Hey chester what is that thing?" "It's there so that only pure rock gets through". What I found incredible about the joke was he flicks the stopper in front of and away from his face while changing from clean singing to fry screaming and back in like half a second lol. It's pretty unreal how talented he was.
No matter the song, his voice makes me cry. I miss him so much. He meant a lot and is partially responsible for me getting thru shit I didn’t think I could. ❤️
You don’t “miss him”. You never knew him. Every video and song he ever was in still exist.
@@SnailHatan I miss him. End of discussion, thanks for coming.
As a doctor, I absolutely LOVE your anatomical descriptions! I understand singing and voice so much more. One of these days I want to take voice lessons, and study music theory to apply it to my love of music and desire to read music and play banjo ❤.
Finally someone who appreciates Mike’s cuteness, as well as Chester’s amazing vocals. Also, your fry scream is amazing!
So many good demonstrations in this one! Thanks again as always!
LP were the first heavy band I discovered back in 2000, so they’ve always had a special place in my heart. There will never be another Chester.
All these vocal analysis of Chester has made me realize he was a world class athlete.
Really enjoying the resurfacing of Linkin Park lately. So much nostalgia. Been listening to Meteora quite a bit, and it’s decadent!
❤❤❤
I don’t know what to take; thought I was focused, but I'm scared; I'm not prepared … for this reaction.
Amazing performance. So powerful. So raw. So tragic.
Can’t wait to hear what Lolli has to say.
Your explanations of technique with demonstration are some of the best I've seen on youtube. A lot of vocal coaches talk about the same stuff, but without really giving useful demonstration. Specifically I want to call out how you explain the fry scream and demonstrate both the transition from the low simple fry we can all do into a higher scream, as well as the difficulties someone practicing might experience.
I watched them live and it's crazy to think Chester sings this song, this good, pretty much daily while on tour. He will never be forgotten.
Absolutely amazing breakdown. Watched many reaction videos to this song and a few others, but this one was incredible. Love the appreciation and feeling of the song while also analyzing the incredible voice of Chester. Will be watching more of your videos. Great job!
You're a saint from bringing Linkin Park back into the limelight, hard day when Chester went away. Thank you FVM
Just like joy divisions lead, he was telling us he wasn't all right the whole time, and no one could figure out how to help him.
@@DixonsCider yes, he was telling us the whole time . Maybe people thought it was a persona he was playing unfortunately it was not so sad😢
Loli makes a great point here 14:25
That man changed my life in so many more ways than I could ever explain. This is the first and probably the last person I never met that I still miss every day.
Thanks for life itself Chester, RIP.
Omg SAME! ❤
Wow, you are amazing. I love your reactions, your dissecting of the artist's techniques n such is amazing. You showing all the little different nuances/techniques they do is incredible too.
Chester's pain could be so palpable in his performances, hard to watch but at the same time awe-inspiring for sure, such an amazing artist he was.
Incredible reaction, thank you
I feel so very blessed to have been able to see them live in concert 4 times. He performed like none other, and Linkin Park will forever live deep within my soul. God damn we miss you Chester
This is my favorite song
Yet again, far and away the best analysis. Not just a reaction. You are amazing.
WoW, like Chester, you are truly one of a kind🦄!
I chuckled when you said you were gonna try to keep it together and I admire your attempt at the impossible.🤩
Seeing your emotions breaking through was amazing, but when you finally let go and just let it happen- 🥰my heart decided it was gonna leave me. Its now stuck in my throat and has left me breathless. 😳lol 😆WoW 🤘🏼⚡️
live performance is the best test. it really shows who can and who can't sing.
thank you so much for this!! love your break downs of singing technique, especially of someone as epic as Chester. love you to pieces keep up the great work!!
This was beautiful 💙 thank you for the reaction!!! Fly high and rest easy Chester, we miss and love you brother!!! A reaction to lost would be awesome!! It's a new LP Song from Meteora in 2003! That didn't get put on the Album! Sending love from Denver!!!
Fantastic, as always! Looking forward to more! "Lost" next? Feel all the feels?
Please please please can we have more of Chester's awesome vocals. I'm an old man of 50 and Chester got me through so much over the years and to lose not only Chester but Chris Cornell within a couple of months broke my heart... One more light will leave me in tearsyour reaction s from dimash to Lara Fabien are the best available. Please please please.
Peter from Worthing, Sussex
The reaction I did not know I have been waiting for so long 🤩
Ahyy you need to watch the official one on their album with the 17 sec scream D;
The scream is pretty epic in this one. And they prefer to see live stuff anyway for a true vocal breakdown. Plus theres just something about a song like this done live. The energy. It just hits different. However...I will absolutely agree with you that the album version is fantastic.
@@xCythex AOL sessions were live :)
@@pedrosoares3439 Oh! My bad, I thought you said album version. Whoops.
Chester will never be replaced. He is the greatest "Screamer" that ever lived. I loved your analysis of his singing. Chester's singing is in a category all of his own. Their new 3 disc set drops in April. The first portion of the set is live now. I'm glad you tackled Chester's singing. He is quite a stretch from Dimash !! ha ha ha
The best part about every video that I watch of people analyzing this song live is the pure joy of that brain tickle when he is hitting notes and the screams. I get goosebumps from this song every time.
Your video is one of the best I’ve seen for someone like myself is because I inspire to sing like him and always have. One Step Closer is a song I feel I do well but Given Up is something I’m working on. The fry scream for this song is really hard haha. But the way you explained it helps me so much. Thank you.
Always impressed at how much technique there's involved
Being a vocal coach & where you're from you should probably react to *Chester's* live rendition of *(Rolling in the Deep)*
10/10. your reactions are such a great blend of very detailed analysis and genuine humor.
I've learned quite a bit about how Chester sings from you. It might help me, as I'm singing along in the car, belt out better and longer fry screams 😂 Thank you for going so in depth. A lot of people get caught up on comparing his singing to other styles of singing; whereas, you dissected it as it was presented irrespective of other artists. That was a great approach, and I appreciate you doing that! Watching you emotionally react to hearing Chester vocalizing the lyrics, in a way it also makes us feel like we're not the only ones going through things. I think growing closer together as a global community through understanding, acknowledgement, support, and kindness is a very worthwhile pursuit, and this is a part of that. The emotional support bear is a great idea! I hope you're having a wonderful week. Looking forward to the next LP reaction!
I thoroughly enjoyed this one quite a bit! Linkin Park was amazing. Chester Bennington's vocals obviously were next level WOW! I'm a large fan of him/them and what happened with him breaks my heart but knowing that his music will forever be around brings some joy to my life that will never fade away.
Thank you so much for doing this reaction! Please do more of Chester Bennington in the future! Know that I and many, many others will be around to watch when you do.
Be well!
Looking forward to this 🤘🏻
Please please do more chester!! His cover or rolling in the deep is amazing.
Love the reaction 🤘🔥 RIP Chester
perfect analysis as always❤
Always love your analysis and explanations. Thanks again Fairy Voice Mother.
Gosh you are so dang cool. For real you make understanding singing and techniques so easy and entertaining to watch. Keep up the awesome work
We still miss you Chester 💔
Loved this reaction! I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I'd love to see a reaction to "Lost".
It was recently released as the first posthumous song from Linkin Park, as well as Chester Bennington. It was originally recorded and intended for their second album, "Meteora" in 2003.
Don't let it being released late fool you though, it's just as good as anything else they were making at the time, and I say that as the biggest Meteora fan lol.
Chester. We miss you so much man❤🕊😢
The best vocal reaction, period
First “vocal coach reacts” channel that i enjoy and actually learn useful things. 🙏
Yaay 🥰
goosebumps all over - sooo love chesters voice - thanks for explaining things
When Chester cries out God, the look in his eyes is disturbing, that intense feeling that only exists inside a person and sometimes escapes through conversations or attitudes or in Chester's case in his songs, thank you for existing Chester and your band.
One of the only vocal coaches that can growl and can explain it
My god, thank you, every time I tried to figure out the fry I couldn't and no explained it. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this!
A def sub, love to watch people that know what they talk about.
Been doing metal screaming/growling about 10 years, but never really thought about how I do it, until this.
Thank you for the help.
RIP Chester. You were loved.
Really amazing, detailed breakdown (😳)of a fantastic singer- And, as always, your instructions/demonstrations and humor combined (plus you didn’t compare Chester to other singers, which was nicely respectful) are excellent and on point! Thank you. P.s. You are JUST as stunning ( gorgeous eyes) sans make-up as with it. Just sayin’🥳😁. Cheers from the state of California! Take care❤️
First time watching you. I love your break downs and your personality. Definitely subbed ☺️
Welcome lovely Jarred!!
by far the best reaction/explanation, thankyou ♥️🔥
When I first heard this song back in 2008 it instantly struck me as the best, most complete, most honest description of being in a major depressive episode that had ever been recorded. Fifteen years later, it's still pretty much in my top spot.
I think any time his songs/lyrics have been described as a "cry for help", especially in hindsight given how he left us, it misses the point. He wasn't crying out for help. He already had it. He was always very open about his demons. Everyone around him and in his life knew it and loved and supported him. The songs weren't cries for help - they were Chester sharing himself with the world.
He gave people like me, who were ashamed of the stigma, questioning our own moral character, thinking we were lazy or overly sensitive, and every other possible type of negative self-image...he gave us a voice big enough and loud enough to be heard by billions. We could point to Chester and say "if you want to understand me, listen to him - we're very much the same".
I wish he was still around, more than I can say.
This made me cry somehow. Its crazy that your words touch me so much, but I dont understand why exactly. But thank you either way, stranger on the internet 🙏
Very insightful comment. First I've heard of its kind actually.
This comment has tears running down my face
Such a catchy yet intense cry for help with those lyrics or therapy for him
Holy-what-the-fuck! So, I've been a moderate fan of Linkin Park since they came out. I've known Chester was a really incredible singer, but I'd never actually heard him live. Shit, man. This dude is on a different level in a higher league of an even more complicated sport. I'm seriously blown away. Unreal talent that guy was.
What you said about the screaming and that he doesn't need a run up fpr the screaming part. I've seen Linkin Park 3 times live and he really doesn't. What blew my mind the most is that he could switch from screaming to flawless singing within a second. And then go back without a hitch. Still amazes me to this day.
The 2 things I’m taking from this video is A, You’re probably the only vocal coach who truly breaks down what is being done & then teaches it
& B, Chester was just an absolute master
All the signs were there I think many of us listened to LP when we were young so didn’t truly understand, he saved millions but we couldn’t save him 💔
Miss u bro Chester 😣
First time here and really enjoyed on how you explained the way he's able to make and give off a sound as he does. I would really like to see your reaction to linkin park qwerty live in Japan, some of the craziest back and forth I've heard!
esse foi o melhor vídeo de "vocal coach" react por todas as explicações mostradas e dadas durante todos os atos e partes, cada exercício ou pratica usada pelo Chester eu entendi perfeitamente com os exemplos e amostras. inclusive fiz questão de comentar em português do Brasil pra ter noção de onde chegou esse vídeo e onde espero que chegue sempre, tried to wrote it perfectly to be able to translate. Ty for all lessons
Ahh muito obrigada!! beijinhos 😘😘
*This is a really good one....happy to see you again. It seems it's been awhile. There's so many good ones by them for you. 'One Step Closer' and 'Given Up' has always been my personal favorites.*
Chester will forever be missed. Thank you for doing this. I always look forward to your reactions.
I just love you and your energy and your spunkiness and everything about you. I love that you o real analysis but you also let your emotions out too. Love love love.
I'd love to hear your analysis on their song "Qwerty". Think it'd be really interesting to have you take on Chesters vocals in that particular song, its just another great example of how incredible he was.
OMG Yes, thank you so much for covering this!
The fact that you talk about his depression in his range is amazing.. Everytime I listen to his songs you can so hear his call for help and how depressed he is 😢😢
Я просто поражаюсь её таланта. Все звуки может изобразить.Супер!!!
Hands down fav vocal channel.
Breaks my heart that this song basically sums up what he seems to have been going through and none of us realized it until it was too late. He always seemed so happy. I was lucky enough to see these guys live three times and he was ALWAYS one of the most phenomenal singers/performers I've ever seen. Wish he was still with us. ❤️
Wow,this vocal coach is rather funny in emotions and reactions:)
Thx for reacting to my favourite singer. He song like angel,and screamed like devil.
his look of wonder and amazingly CRAZY, is priceless! 8:32
Thank you so much for explaining the "breathe through your diaphragm" thing! My friend always says I need to do that to improve my singing, and I'm like "great... WTF does that mean?!" but you laid it out in a very understandable way.
Watching your breathing techniques is what I needed to see today...
And I'm glad you covered the great Chester too.
The way you break it down/appreciate makes me tear up and miss Chester more.
Wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked best Given up reaction and vocal breakdown. ✌LP forever. ❤
LP recently dropped a 'new' song called 'Lost' a few weeks ago. It was actually originally recorded back in '03 while they were making their second album 'Meteora.' The only reason it didn't make it onto the album at the time according to Mike was bc it was too similar in energy, message, and vibe as 'Numb' so they shelved it. But they just did a re-release of 'Meteora' for the 20th anniversary of that album and put it on there. They didn't do any further production or anything before releasing it either so how we're hearing it today is exactly how it sounded when they first recorded it 20y ago. A lot of LP's songs in hindsight you realize just how much pain Chester was in. This song ('Given Up') really showed how much he was struggling. He was literally screaming for help. That 17s long scream will never be matched, let alone beaten. If you listen to the song on the record, though, there isn't that little break like there is in this vid. He screams for the full 17s. They do the clapping at the beginning bc that's how the song starts on the record. The little things he does like hitting his head and and the shaking when he says 'hyperventilate' and stuff isn't just for show. He actually feels like that
Excellent job holding it together through this one! Like many others, I know how difficult it can be when a song hits so close to home.
(and Americanns who watch your channel know what "full stop" means.)
I always find it hard to listen to Chester, I can relate to all the pain he put in to all his work and as someone who has also been severly depressed for my entire life, it is disheartening to think that if he couldn't make it work, how do I stand even a chance? I miss him so much. And as always I loved your analysis. Thank you!
R.I.P. Chester. 😢 You should react to a Frank Turner Song. the "in session" version of The Road might be a good one to start with. 😁
I like the reacting of the people when they listen to the "god" of this song
Crawling "live" is a must!
Haha you’re lovely, I love the way you describe how it’s done. You’re a great teacher
honestly the "GOOOOOAAWD" paired with the emotion on his face gets me more than the 17/2 second scream in this performance!
Nice reactions and commentary.
Chester was my childhood role model & when he died linkin park died i still cry each year on that day
& you're really wise about vocals i feel like I'm gaining knowledge learning things just by listening to my favorite artist through your point of view
So thank you!!! & maybe i think i can finally cover linkin park songs now thanks to you :)
& my God!!! Your voice is beautiful
You can sing in sooo many ways it's mesmerizing & awe inspiring ❄💠
I learned a lot from this video that I never expected to, particularly about the vocal fry.
My best friend and I love doing voices, but I had no idea some of the ways we did them had actual names and applications.
Its always good to come home after work on a Friday to find a TFVM video waiting!!!
They say hindsight is always 20-20. These lyrics. This performance. His history. Makes one wonder...
( "I go about my crying", "Not the lamest thing I've ever said", "My emotional baggage", the appearance of an emotional support care bear. )
...maybe more than one should; but I'm just saying.
Take care of yourself Lolli!!! Lots of love back at ya!!!!
🧚♂💜🧚💗🧚♀💛
Love your personality.. 🎉
Hello gorgeous.
I always enjoy your reactions, you just have a more relatable way to explain it. Thank you!
I always tell people this and I hope you find it useful. After the world lost Chester, I cannot listen to this song and the one after it (on the album Minutes to Midnight) back to back anymore. It just crushes me to hear them both one after another. This one talks about him wanting to die and "Leave Out All The Rest" talks about afterwards. If you want to talk about his expression and emotion rather than just his "god tier" voice - this might be your candidate.
Also, I rather like you in after edits when you are just chillin' around with a soft hoodie on 😍
Whoa. I don't know how I missed this one earlier, but...I've seen so many reactions to and analyses of this song, but yours is the most informative and practical I've seen, period. I UNDERSTAND exactly how you're explaining the technical aspects and it's impressive that you do it so succinctly. Or maybe we're on the same squirrel brain frequency, idk. But whatever it is, I'm picking up what you're putting down, and I appreciate it!
Yaaaay awh I’m so happy to read this, squirrel brain twin 🐿️ 😘 thanks for finding me!
really interesting, you really explained it well, i improved my screaming fast with your explanation
