![Dato Sri Siti Nurhaliza - "Nirmala, Balqis & Hati Kama" [Big Stage 2022 Minggu 5] | SINGER REACTION](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EhT8DnZDPWE/mqdefault.jpg)
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'm glad to know about the fact!
Ikr. She's a gem indeed.
Absolutely stunning!
Splendid
I've heard the story about this back to back concert between her and mariah in singapore before. I think it was in 2000?
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.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
she is not just a singer but a performer!
@@STFUstranger Yes, it seemed very theatrical to me. Can you recommend me other songs from her? What is your favorite?
If u want to find her most favorited traditional songs and album. Let me suggest you some, if only u dont mind and looking for suggestion. Full songs of Nirmala, cindai, hati kama, badasila, ya maulai, n for the album try to youtube Lentera timur.
Hi, for English song, you can watch this one, Siti duet digitally with late Whitney Houston. Very mesmerising

Nama indonesia. From Korea 🙄
Siti Nurhaliza watched this videoooooo toooooo!!!! She posted it in her ig story!!! Waaaahhhh lucky
Traditional malay music is about DEMURE AND GRACEFUL in the lyrics, dancing and most importantly the singing. Jumping one note to another needs to be done gracefully, never jarringly, and everything needs to sound seamless in tonal quality. And our beloved siti always does it perfectly😊
Exactly, this is what it is.
haha korg mlayu kn
@@Nizamm1 aku orang peranakan
@@IsyahSalam x de kije btul bdk2 ni main komen2 kt tmpt omputeh
@@Nizamm1 lah biar je la yang kau gelabah ni kenapa? Dia komen pun salah? Tolol
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.
Ye kan....awak cam sy..ct mybiggest idol
😁😁😁
Agreed. As someone who was once sang malay traditional song genre up to national level, these qualities that i had to maintain. i have to singe gracefully, politely, melodiously and maintained my sweetness but at the same time projecting my voice😂
@@Pepperoni249 takpe..bak kata buaya tradisional..awak tetap manis..suara manis tuu bonus👍🏼😂🤣..

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,

dondang sayang (songs of affection),

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.

-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.
Love this info😍😍😍
Very informative indeed!
I wish you could tell them about "samrah" type music that Melia thought of Bollywood

As a native Malay speaker, I can assure you that she’s not singing out of tune. It’ s just her playing with tunes superbly and effortlessly. Let’s just say she’s gifted ;) . Btw, those songs are traditional songs which the new generations dont listen as much now.

Exaccttlyyy
It is sitism
I may looks silly, but when Siti is smiling my face also follow her steps 😂 I can't stop from smiling too and this is really good for exercising my face muscles ❤✨
Omggg you guys are so detailed. I bet even Siti doesn’t really know how she sounds vocally, (well her voice is gifted, of course) coz she sings from her heart, enjoy it and it turns out to be great 👍🏻
She practise for hours. Yes, shes gifted but practise makes perfect.
@@zafir7007 Ya dia belajar dengan ibunya, allahyarham Pak Ngah, allahyarham Rosiah Chik
she knows. she went through training. and yes, she does sing from her heart still despite that.
@@rumaiziahmad654 also great composer late adnan abu hasan
Yeah she is like talking...with strong voice... effortless..we call that gifted yaa..
One of her mentor, the late "Pak Ngah" once told, Siti does not need any music, her voice is already a music..
Awesome!!!!!
I remember the video. It makes me n my mother tear up because we do agree with pakngah
Watch Siti Nurhaliza sing CINDAI song in Commonwealth Games 1998 infront of QUEEN ELIZABETH.. She's only 19 years old at that time... Thanks..
And Queen Elizabeth also noticed Siti Nurhaliza beautiful voice & asked who is that singer?..
NO REASON ANYONE CAN'T SKIP TO HAVE MORE FROM SITI, BECAUSE SHE CAN SING ANY SONG IN PERFECT.
How does she do it so effortlessly? Damn!! And she was smiling the whole time!!!! Love herrrr
Whoever watch Siti Nurhaliza performance will smile when see she smile
I'm Malaysian, and you'd think I'd be so used to listening to music like this, but I still get chills everytime because Siti is legendary.
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. I think local people feel connected to the melody, poetic song because music is personality to every culture to me...and as we have similar culture to indonesia, singapore and brunei, so this music also played n favorited there.... Yes, we have some influence from other cultures like arab too.. Overall yes, we listened to this in our tv n radio...But these days its hard to find new traditional song.
Look, chase and Meliá were smiling too watching Siti sing! Told ya, it's contagious. LOL 😆 btw, thanks for the reaction. You know what, this reaction video definitely makes me value Malaysian music, or even Siti Nurhaliza more. And you two, you guys are just sooo cool to let us (the non musicians) understand and appreciate music, voice. Thanks 👍💐
As a Malaysian singer, she had a basic Quran reçital as most Muslims would have...the vowel sounds, vibrato and humming are heavily influenced from our Quran recitals and she has a very good Quranic recitals...please do some research on Taranum based Quran Recitals...
No matter what kind of song siti sing, it will sounds good. She doesn't need music. Music needs her
She's just slay the song like nothing and smile all the time...i was traveling with her song...superb 👍👍👍
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. =))
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. 😊🌹
Don't let anyone tell you, you and your culture aren't special. Kalau kita perasan, orang2 yang mengata bangsa kita adalah bangsa2 penjajah. Demi nak menunjuk bangsa mereka lebih gah, mereka mengata bangsa2 lain. Belajarlah sejarah2 bangsa2 penjajah ini, mereka gunakan sama taktik di mana sahaja untuk menjatuhkan maruah dan menjajah bangsa lain. Once you learn their behaviour, it will all make sense.
I'm Indonesian and I heard her since I was kid. She sang many Indonesian song also, and in my mind, every song sing by her become difficult. LOL
Most of her songs was 'Roller Coster' vibes but Pretty Merdu 😅
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.
You learned from Siti herself?!?! *A *
@@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.
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.
@@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.
@@s_shaleh Agree. The cengkok is very hard to master.
The first song 'Cindai' is her biggest hit, not only in Malaysia but in Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, and South Thailand. Balqis n Nirmala are also popular in this country

Exactly!
Fun facts : Every year there held a competition for the title of the most popular celebrity in Malaysia or as we call it anugerah bintang paling popular (ABPH) every year.....she won that award every year for a lot of year back to back up to the point Siti herself back off from the competition just to give other Malaysian singer a chance to win.... She had the longest winning streak (1996-2001) and won a total of 21 times
Luv Siti
I love Siti nurhaliza.. besides her beautiful voice, she has good character and personality.. no gossip or scandal at all.. until she got married.. great women! ❤ love from singapore!!
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.
WOW!!! This was some amazing info!!!! I think I know why a lot of Malay is mixed with different folk music..... BECAUSE IT SOUNDS AMAZING!!! Seriously thank you so much for this info!
penerangan terbaik.jika diorg mcm tau yang india ada teknik vocal sa re ga ma pa..malay traditional vocal pon ade teknik tersendiri jugak..spt ghazal ade langgam/tekniknua sendiri,dondang sayang ada cara nya sendiri,keroncong pon ade teknik vokal nya sendiri…begitu juga dengan lenggok yang siti gayakan lebih berbentuk gaya syair,gurindam,nazam yang banyak mempamerkan elemen lenggok tradisional secara umum…begitu bangga melihat org luar kagum dgn teknik vokal melayu tradisional…
This comment tho 💯

Aggred
Jom kita bersembang dalam Bahasa Melayu jommm
Siti's 'eee' vowels is the most beautiful & sufficient vowel ever heard in the entire world, it always come with special effects like echoes & 'gemersik'.. gemersik is the feeling of goosebumps when you listen a particular singer's voice..
Exactly!
She's not just a Diva in Malaysia but also in Indonesia! We love her! 😍😍 and we also have that similar style of singing just like "lenggok" in singing Melayu songs, it's called "cengkok" here in singing Dangdut (our traditional music) songs 😁
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.
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.
@@muneirovalibas6194 Yes, true indeed...
Siti is known as a hard-working singer. She always learns and learns but not in an official class...
@@muneirovalibas6194 oh, she trained since she was little when she helped her mom sell traditional cakes. she sang while selling them. she also sang at weddings & competitions before she became professional singer at 17. but not professional training, i don't think.

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.
(The Malaysia Book of Records: Most Awards Won Artiste)
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
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❤️
In Indonesia we call it "Cengkok"... It's rather hard to learn it.
macam mana kita nak explain dekat diorang etnik kreatif?
@@lensasylarproduction8410 Tapi kena ingat, irama tradisional Melayu dan etnik kreatif lain genre... Cindai dikira irama tradisional Melayu tapi Balqis dan Nirmala dikira etnik kreatif...
@@syahrulafiq4095 kan, sebab Balqis ada pengaruh Arab dan Nirmala ada pengaruh India. Cindai memang pure irama Melayu
@@Dina-dc6xx Nirmala pun pengaruh muzik Arab... Part yang diaorang ingat Bollywood tu, DS Siti saja je mainkan suara macam tu...
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.
This is Malay traditional music. This is the beauty of our music culture. Yes, we listen to this kind of music until now. And Siti Nurhaliza no doubt will always be our number 1 Singer. No one can replace her. Not even the younger generation. They are far from her level.
trust me, i am malaysian and its hard to sing like her. shes truly amazing
I have to say this: Both of you keep on smiling while watching her!! Cute!! I am smiling as well while watching both of you smiling at her when she was smiling while singing! Haha.. the power of smiles😍🥰🤗
This is favourite malaysian traditional song forever and ever
Oh my god!!!! Malaysia Number one singer again!!!! I can't wait!!!!
The one thing that I love the most about Siti nurhaliza is when she's smiling while singing and it's freaking contagious lol even you guys are smiling
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. But Siti is the most versatile singer, traditional, balade, pop, she can sings anything. That’s why she’s our no 1 singer up until today . A legendary
The more you see her the more you love her. That's siti magic.
Dato Sri Siti Nurhaliza, she can sing any genre music...Ballad, pop, and traditional song..and she also a good dancer, especially Traditional Dance..You must react her killer Song, the title, Nirmala.. ( Traditional Song)...
By the way the title Dato Sri, given by our King Of Malaysia as a honoured to her...She is No.1 Malaysian Singer...and in 2005, she win Voice Of Asian...
I’m not gonna comment something else.. but all of her song is “ Masterpiece “
We all Malays growing up with this kind of song , start from we all in the baby cradle 🥰🥰 ..this is what we call traditional music
Siti never fail to make us smile when we see her singing with smile 😍😍 both of you did smile too 😁😊
It's 12 midnight here. And I just finished watching this reaction. I'm on cloud nine, seriouslyyy
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!
Yup correct
Yup, same goes to me. Maybe cause we haf been listening to this type of song/ genre in our country, so we never really 100% observe or gif full attention to d "detailed" part as in CM's discussion. 😂😂😂
Absolutely, I'm hooked too. And so do i subscribed!
Yes..i like them both too. Really respect their knowledge. They really know their field n can see how they appreciate Malay traditional music..
If u notice, actually he struggled from yawning at the minute 12:28 and I noticed that. Haha
we grew up listening to Siti Nurhaliza. but watching u guys reaction make us appreciate & love her even more 🥰🥰🥰
Everyone will be automatically smiling if watch siti
These are medley songs from her discography. The songs did charted and played on the radio during its prime time.
Key change is a diff song. She sings it exactly like the studio version. There is a saying in this country. Everytime she sings live is like she eats the cassete, its so accurate
As a malaysian, we call her The Queen over here. She is just *chef’s kiss*
+ malay medleys are just so beautiful to hear and her voice just fits well
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.
Yes this is a medley of iconic songs by her. These songs make her popular in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Yes,, aku dari Indonesia kalau tiap ada video dari datuk siti pasti saya selalu nonton 😀
@@michtiarpryadi8820 Ohh..terima kasih ya...
Siti nurhaliza sing always with smile 💝🥰🇲🇾💖🇺🇲 tq chase and melia your reaction make me smile too🥳✌
imagine if u both in the real studio konsert watching her singing u will under her spell totally!! because we hear through this video the sound its so amazing😍
I had the opportunity to listen to her live. And I actually thought she sounds better live
I went to her concert once and she sounded so perfect throughout that multi hours performance… Even better than the recordings can you just imagine thattttt… fuhhhh
She always gives me goosebumps everytime i listen to her singing her old songs. Dont you agree?
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.
Damn, she is beautiful. Her face portrayed the Malay face. The originality I can say.
I'm an Indonesian, and all my life everytime i visit weddings Cindai and Nirmala is always played haha. That's how i come to love Datok Siti 😂❤
It's a gifted voice! Kinda hard to explain every technique of her voice.So effortless .we need to open big mouth to sing like that..strong vocal .she just open a bit of her mouth at ease yet so melodious..Gifted!!.. naturally..
Aku cukup suka dorang senyum tengok siti senyum... Hahah..
Kannn❤️
@@Fiza-eq4nt hahahah.. Baru tau penangan lagu tradisi kitaa.. Nak apa semuaa ada.. Bolly kami ada.. Indie kami ada.. Arabic pon yaa.. Heheh..
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.
YESSS 👍👍👍👍👍
Yes this is the real statements , malay have arabic music influence more than india music. In fact india ragaa derives from middle east music.
she make u smile when u watch her singing.. even both of you.. :)
It's amazing how you two were smiling and nodding while enjoying throughout her performance on stage, and we are talking about her live performance. She is just the only singer who never fades out regardless of time. In our country Malaysia, she is the hugest artist, but surprisingly, it is not an overstatement that she represents our country, our culture, and our people whenever she sings outside the country. It's just remarkable how she sustains her status and supremacy in this entertainment industry since her debut in 1996. I hope you two would continue reacting to her songs and performances in the future.
Nobody, i mean nobody, would ever have a straight face when you see her smile
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. 🤣
This is my new favorite reaction from you guys. I love the smiles on your faces, especially Melia’s.
I grew up listening to Siti Nurhaliza and learnt a bit of gamelan for school performance. Your reaction videos on Siti Nurhaliza made me appreciate her voice more. Maybe changed my entire idea of human voice. So amazed by voice and the concept of scales in Music. Also makes me curious about music, linguistic and culture!
if those song are in music competition here in malaysia, it would be in ethnic/traditional music category. not a pop or malaysian ballad. usually theatrical in performance with dances and cool costumes. i rarely listen to radio now so i wouldnt know what music they play. this song was in the 90s/00s and it was played in the radio. i cant tell what instrument they use but it usually include string, accordion, bongo, etc.
Awesome! Thank you for the info!
@@ChaseandMelia you're right about the indian influence. probably because back in days we lots of indian traders came because of their spices, also middle eastern influence.
This is Malay traditional music/songs. Yes the first 3 songs are chart toppers in popular radio stations during the popular times of this style back in late 90s to 2010. We have lesser songs produced to this genre nowadays. Her latest song of this genre are Anta Permana and 7 Nasihat. Some of her songs are influenced by middle eastern style (song #2 &3) and some of it are from pure Malay style (song #1&4)
macam mana kita nak explain etnik kretif kepada diorang?
@@lensasylarproduction8410 traditional song je
@@pejaltorres5706 correct
My mattress is made of gold, the sheets are diamonds but my pillow is my arm. It’s been almost 25 years but I still love this song. Cindai.
Did I hear gamelan? Wow! I am a Malay but me myself never play gamelan but I am soo in love with gamelan. The best ever music instrument in Malay traditional music, for me..
We want moreee!!!!!! Siti nurhaliza the best!!
I never truly realized how amazing our traditional genres (Etnik Kreatif) are... Thank you!
So glad I stumbled upon your reaction to Dato Siti. I am trained in this genre too ( traditional malay) and it’s interesting to hear opinions from a different perspective.
This singin style requires us to project a strong vocal but in the most graceful and demure way. Not easy, but once you get the technique, it just flows naturally.
And Dato Siti is my idol since I was 6, and the main reason why I chose this path. she’s amazing like that
It's really eye opening reactions (or more precisely in depth review) coming from westerners' point of view. We as millennials (gen z and gen y included) often neglect, ignore and forget how unique and astonishing Malay traditional music and singing are. Come my fellow folks, let's revive our traditional music and put it where it belongs.
i give like before start 😁😁
because siti nurhaliza
Your reaction was so informative. Usually, I will just skip to this kind of videos but yours make me stick to it and watch it till the end. Thank you guys (and gal) 😊😉
I smiled seeing Chase reaction when siti started singing. That instant focus look and the dropped lower lip.
Hi mr kacak
Selalu tngok awak d ig
🤪
She's the queen of vocal here in our country. I have never heard her voice cracked even once. For me she's the best singer after all. Thanks for this video ♥
Siti Nurhaliza is muslim . Muslim recited AL Quran in Arabic . To recites Al Quran had like key notes to pronounce exactly the words perfectly. If u hear muslim call for prayers @ Adzan u can feel the calm vibrations
Very true and very well said milin.
very true, last year during Ramadhan she told the fans she learned to make perfect of her tarranum. Now her techniques must be even better when she sings or recites Al quran.
Orang yang pandai menyanyi blom tentu sedap mengaji Al Quran, tapi orang yang pandai mengaji Al Quran, confirm2 suara dia akan sedap bila menyanyi. It’s a fact!
Agree
Setuju
At Malaysia, many people can mimic or copy a style of Siti singing, but cant get a projection like her. Some of them sound like her, but we still recognize which one originality.
I am Malaysian...she no 1 singer in Malaysia...very success person... She also the bussinessawoman... Once come out with new single or products... Fast finish 💖💖... All the best to both teachers....tan Sri siti nurhaliza very inspired😍
I'm Indonesian and Siti is so far the best malayan singer from the 90s until now. Her voice color for the malayan song is so beautiful and she set really high the standard. I think no one compare to her until now.
Also, yes malayan songs have influence on or by Indian songs. Because the history (maybe back in 14-17th century) of Indian sellers spread across malaysian-indonesian island.
Malay traditional song is a genre on its own, telling stories and advice, written beautifully like a poem.
This does not have to do with her singing but i feel it would be fun to share with you, this one song from Siti Nurhaliza called Kurik Kundi (she sang parts of the same song in different Malaysian dialects) and in her chorus she sang “kalau tinggi untung jadi bintang, kalau rendah masih jadi intan” which translate to “if one is noble then the stars would be its equal, if one is humble then diamonds he shall be” and i think it’s a beautiful reminder, that even when you feel you’re not as high above and shining like a star, you’re still a shining diamond where you are now.
I hope you find more joy in watching Siti’s performances after knowing her lyrics are also beautifully written. Much love to you both!
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.
She's an incredible singer! I have recognized her as a top-level singer after watching both of your reactions (the first and now this). I'll be looking out for her name in reactions and videos.
Speaking of the interaction of Western scales with micro-tonal scales, you should listen to Wagakki Band from Japan for a high-level blend of style and a mix (of vocals and instruments) from a traditional and Western standpoint.
wagakki band singer Yuko did teach people in her interview how japanese folklore singing and surprisingly, Okinawan melody is similar to Malay traditional melody. that because Malacca empire use to trading with Ryukyu kingdom in Okinawa and we also teach Okinawan how to cook mixed veggies called sayur campur (Okinawan called it canpuru/canploo)
another thing is in Taiwan, malay distance cousin Formosa ethnic also living there. which is pretty close to okinawa
@@boboboy8189 Very interesting points. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Chase and Melia. I can see that u arevery interested in the different tones, pitches and waves of how Siti sings her songs here. This medley is all about traditional musics. In Malay music, the base of all traditional music evolves around Syair. U might wanna look it up, theres tons of videos on Syair and Syair, in history, came from Persia. :)
Syair is poetic messages thats delivered in music. Traditional syair is not accompanied with any instruments. Just by singers singing technique with the use of tones and pitches.
Our traditional music sounds derived from the purpose of storytelling. Back then, elders tell stories through melodic, rythmical recitation, to attract listeners while telling the stories/messages. Thats why when u said these sounds "commutes" more. Also, people back then uses lots of poetry in their daily conversation and Lots of our traditional songs uses poetic languages including Siti's songs. very unlike the daily language we use today. Just imagine Shakespearean poetry being sung/ recited melodically (to fit ur context). So that adds to the beauty of our traditional music. The melisme youre talking about, it reminds me of Quran recitation. Since we have islamic culture, Quran recitation is beautiful and you will often hear those melisme flips. I suggest try listening to it just for reference and comparison.
Also yes, it makes sense if this reminds u of bollywood. Historically speaking, we have influences from india, arabs, china and more from asian continents.
Siti is legendary! She can sing anything, any genre. Born talented and improved to be the professional singer she is. Hope to see more reaction of our beloved siti! 💜
