    in the original remix ariana says the “i don’t know why i run away” and it goes right before the whistle but in this performance abel took that part so that ariana didn’t have to come back in until the whistle (like you said, it would be hard to go to the whistle from a low run)

      the live performance was actually pre-recorded and ari got married on the 15th of may, if you notice on her wedding photos her arm tattoos were covered with make up and in this performance her tattoos are still covered so it's possible she performed this literally before or after her wedding (others also speculated that you can see her wedding band with her engagement ring in the performance but it's not that visible if there really is a wedding ring)

I'm pretty sure Gjon's Tears “Tout l'univers“ should be the most interesting for you as a vocal coach, because his falsetto is just so damn good and the transitions between head and chest voice are insane. It's a very technical song.
    Barbara Pavri - voilà (french chanson), Destiny - Je ne Casse, Ana Soklic - amen, Eden Alene - Set me Free (Whistle notes!) and of course the winner Måneskin - Zitti e buoni (glam rock) are all worth a reaction.😁

    Besides the great singing, what I also really love about this performance is how they interact witch each other. Like, they're really performing this together, emphasis on "together", it's just so open, natural and very authentic. Both are having a great time and that makes it sound so much better to me. I don't listen to Ariana Grande at all and don't know, what else she's doing but the deeper parts are fantastic, so rich and full, still loud but not unpleasant or forced in any way.

    Every other vocal coach on this damn site is just a clout chaser and teaches you nothing. Sam is so positive while also providing genuine analysis! I love this community

      ​@@bradpitti5406 Discussing technique about someone else like this, or singing a swanky duet. I was only ever his stage manager, & we never sung a real duet, just a show (or two?) together. Sam's always been great to talk music with.

    Your 'trying to say it nice' animated monologuing about "just don't do it!" or "I don't like it!" always make me laugh! Love it 😉
