Hi! I'm going to do a Q&A sometime soon and need Qs to A. Comment your questions here please.
How did you decide to become a voice teacher?
do you have an instagram
Sam Johnson Hi! I love you! What are your favorite genres of music?
When did you know you wanted to pursue music? I’m envious!
What is one artist you believe everyone should hear?
Also, a playlist of your favorite songs would be grand 😍
@oksamjohnson
Did you pursue a music degree? If so, how was your experience? When/how did you gain the confidence to sing publicly?
Jessie J is obscenely underrated.
Emily Zapotocny agreed
I definitely agree dude.
I lived my life always confused as to why I didn't hear that many songs from her!
People be sleeping on her sooo muchh
Never heard of her before now.
@@snake6221 really?? She sang Price Tag.
For those asking if Jessie J was sick during this performance, she was. She has a heart condition and almost wasn't allowed to perform because of it. But she still went for it and that's why it's so emotional and raw, because she's literally talking about her own heart going on. Strong girl
woah
Yes! thank you, but to doctors didin't allowed to her perform that day at all, but as you said, song had big meaning to Jessie, so she chosed to perform.
I literally just started crying from this comment for no real reason. The fact she was quite literally singing it to herself is crazy.
Whawha!!?? A heart condition? NO! That's not fair....
I don’t think she was sick. I think she’s just trying to do a song and a range she’s not capable of. She’s not of Celine Dions caliber
I love that she isn’t trying to mimic Celine Dion but isn’t destroying the song either. There is a fine line between trying to sound just like the original artist (usually a mistake made by amateurs, not pros) and fighting too hard to go the opposite way. She didn’t seem to be putting a ton of effort into either of those things; she just sang it. Her way. No forcing anything.
I agree! To me it was so refreshing to see someone take their own spin on this song. Other artists have tried to take it to that Celine space but Celine is Celine. Jessie J just made it sound her own. Brilliant!
She did force that one part and it felt pretty odd. That's typical Jessie J.
So true! It was the perfect style!
Umm she kinda did destroy the song. It was awful tbh
Girl With Ice & Fire stop hating.
I hate that shes fallen out of relevancy, she has an insane amount of talent and a really unique singing style, but her songs that do make it to the radio are very poppy and dont really showcase just how amazing her voice is
Kim Costello I agree completely about her radio tracks not showcasing her vocal ability enough! I haven’t fully appreciated her ability until seeing these performances!
She seems to be experimenting at the moment, I think shes searching for her niche & where she is comfortable.
Yeah, it's unfortunate. Power ballads that really showcase her voice haven't been popular in many years, and in my opinion, the pop-y, radio-friendly songs she writes aren't very good.
Its one of the reasons why i have no faith in the human race anymore. On this show she was special 😥
I love how visible it is on your face when you're analyzing the singing. You can tell, you're really taking it apart and building it back up in your head. You can see the gears turning back there lol.
PEZ999 That's exactly what's happening, its some intense concentration.
I love how you coordinated your shirt with the video!
The zoom onto the shirt was hilarious!
This made my day! Haha hilarious.
Yes!
Kim DeWeese I just noticed and I snorted a bit.
She performed this while trying not to faint. Let that sink in... ❤️
Why was she gonna faint??
Because she was in a hospital. Her heart disease flared up. She was in London and she flew to China against her doctors advice just to perform this. She made it there in time for the taping of the show, no time to rehearse. She was weak the whole show. You can watch the episode, they have English subtitles, it’s on CZcams. It on Hunan TVs channel. Also she posted on Instagram about this performance and said it’s hard to watch cause she can tell every moment in which she was feeling faint. But she got through it and slayed. I’d be such a drama queen if I didn’t faint on stage I’d faint right after the performance lol
Dang.. I hope her heart does go on and on.
Sink just like the Titanic did...
Listen to mother love by queen if you like people trying through illness. Not queens best song, but it certainly brings emotion.
This is a notoriously difficult song to sing and she killed it. Amazing. So good.
I'm a simple woman, I see Jessie J and Sam Johnson and I hit the "like" button instantly.
Edit: The Titanic shirt completed me spiritually.
Hahaha this is me exactly. Celine, Jessie, Sam and Titanic. I'm whole.
Me too!
I live for the dramatic zoom-ins to the t-shirt lol
The audience is absolutely living for this song.
So am I
7:52, some people can sing, some people can feel, she does both.
lol what? That's ridiculous to say singers don't feel :'D
SpydersByte He is saying that they have no emotion and it is just a bunch of words that you can sing with no emotion
THE TITANIC SHIRT THUMBNAIL I'M LAUGHING HAHAJAHKHAKHKHHHG he's getting more and more creative with the memEs now gUYS oh nO
I am so happy you posted a reaction to Jessie J - especially this performance. It was an incredible performance, especially when taking into account that she literally just got out of the hospital because of her heart disease and just got back from a 24 hour flight from London back to China! Even more emotional than her usual, more "technically clean" performances.
She's amazing and I love how she is constantly training to keep and improve her technique and stylisations.
I was hoping someone would mention this! She's absolutely incredible and this performance just made me respect her so much more.
Did not know that! And i am already convinced this is the best female vocal performance i have ever heard! If there is a god, She would sing like Jessie j! :P
The slow zoom to the shirt was perfect. Really intensified the emotion of the song. I felt that.
I've become obsessed with watching your videos, Sam. Your feedback is so constructive and tactful. Also, the way you explain the technical aspects of sound makes SO much sense. Before I used to just sing, now I've found myself paying more attention to *how* I sing.
ikr ... i watched other teacher on youtube like sam ... they fine but i didnt focus somehow on sam video i gotta watch till the end so well explain
Vanessa McDermott yeah I really appreciated how he acknowledged that Jessie j has a very good base in technical singing and some of the slight distortions and stylistic choices might not be his cup of tea but are impressive all the same. Some of her choices made the lyrics more impactful at least to her and to a lot of people. But I think this was a point where she really learned to make those choices so tastefully. And she has learned so much subtlety and the importance of restraint as she showed in the performance before the climax. It’s nice to see a reaction with a clear opinion and point of view but not condemn choices that he doesn’t agree with. Great work!
Agreed!!!
Btw maybe this ain’t interesting for you but, Jessie has a heart disease. That’s why her fans are called “heartbeats” and in the program she did in China she got sick (bc of her disease) and when she came back she sang that song. She’s fantastic.
oh that gives a very different meaning to the phrase "My heart will go on"
She has Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Meat Loaf, Marilyn Manson, and Michael Cera also have it. There's only 13 celebrities listed on the wiki with the condition, so it's pretty rare. Thankfully, many people affected still live to ripe old ages. I hope she does too. She's wonderful.
O 'Muireadhaigh ???
MrVvulf That actually sounds like quite a lot of celebrities.
Everyone in the comments asking you to react to all these people, and I'm over here like, I want to know more about Sam. Could you consider doing a Q&A!? I'm seriously so curious about your history with music. How did you become interested in singing, when did you decide to become a voice teacher!? ALL THESE QUESTIONS!!!!! PSJRUBFKSKS AHHHHHH! lol you're such a passionate teacher and I just wanna know more about you. Much love from Vegas 🖤
Sara Aguerria yes! Thisssss would love to hear about his singing journey, childhood experiences, study and career progression.
Which singers/songs inspire him?
I think that sounds like a good idea Sara.
Please do this Sam!
@@erinedwards2603 he said ones of his inspirations was/is Chester Bennington.
@@erinedwards2603 OMG yes!!!! I second this petition. I know he has mentioned a couple singers that he likes, but I would love a more in depth video of his story, his idols, his life, what he likes/dislikes.
I had no idea she could sing this well. I've heard some of her hits on the radio but I'm not really into modern pop music so I never bothered to look into her. Amazing performance
The thing is she is really passionate about singing. She got of the scene for a couple years because those pop songs that you were hearing on the radio and her management was pushing her to do weren’t fulfilling her even tho she was getting very popular and making shitload of money. Also she had major health trouble. She lost her passion almost but she changed her lifestyle dropped her management and slowly got back into it. That’s why I respect her and love her. She’s a true artist who does it because she loves it not just for fame or money.
Holly! Didnt know that.If its true she got my respect!
Alina Anna have you heard her NYE performance? “Imagine”
She's probably the best living female pop singer, but I agree her music isn't for everyone, including me lol
Saya P
Her voice is absolutely amazing. The vibrato she has and trills are fucking insane. I wish I could control my voice that intensely!
How passionate you are is contagious... And I don't sing... Lol. Super clear and as always super sweet. Thank you for share your knowledge.
I was waiting for Jessie J reaction .She is one of the best singers
I used to think she was just another pop singer, but she really is an excellent singer. I feel kinda bad for having misjudged her in the past.
Just another pop singer? She is not another lip syncing pop singer :D
She sings extremely hard pop songs, she always performs live, she almost never screws up runs, consistent pitch and extremely good stage presence.
For Jessie J, performing classical ballads is a piece of cake coming from her soul, r'n'b, pop and rock background. Have you ever heard her sing live? I mean, she can sing the phone book and you can tell she will kill I have nothing, My heart will go on etc. You listening to live performance of Jessie J only singing her pop songs you can tell that singing a slow ballad is a walk in the park for her. It's like taking it down a notch.
I didn't expect anything less than this. Arguably the best live performance of this song "My heart will go on". It has a lot to do with that band. Wow! But also, the best singer in pop.
@Andreas Lindfors well I only really listen to metal and soundtrack music so my experience of pop is not particularly great. I have limited experience of hearing Jessie J sing because I would never normally choose to watch a video of her singing. To me and my experience of having heard her own songs on the radio, I didn't think there was anything to set her apart from other pop singers, and just thought she would have been another singer who would get her brief stint of fame and then fade into obscurity, this video changed my perception on that of course but I don't know if I would worship her to the same extent you did lol
She's definitely underrated to an extent. She doesn't have the popularity of Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, or Christina Aguilera (not yet anyway) but she's on the right path. I think she'll start becoming more well known as she keeps on doing stuff like this that really showcase what she can do.
TheDustyForest oh, ok.
I never listen to studio recordings so I could never know your experience.
Live >>>>>
just a hint: she's brit and that is why her Rs sound good keke
You might actually be correct. It's very country to pronounce hard r's. America country.
Many American pop singers leave off the "r" sound as well because it sounds better. It's one of the first things you learn as a performer.
Little Foot Who hurt you? :D
Little Foot There was nothing off key.
When you zoomed in on Jack and Rose I lost it
One of the fastest growth I’ve seen from a reaction channel from a vocal coach, even faster than Tristan 😱 Congrats 👏
Do you think Tristan is a good vocal coach? I mean his singing isn't that great but his coaching is amazing
B- Great yes I think Tristan is a great vocal coach. I’ve taken a few of his advices from his videos and it has actually been of good help.
Regis Rodriguez who is Tristan?
Tristan went from horrible to average singer. He went to school, did the work and taught himself to be where he is now.
Dude, your approach to singing is SO refreshing and holistic. I'm loving your content and I'm definitely subscribing.
Had to stop my lessons a month ago due to financial issues and this is really helping me staying sharp in the meantime, so thank you very much! Glad to see your channel growing.
My heart burst after she was sick from a heart condition , she was singing about herself ! 😥💔
You and me both.
you should react to Nicole Scherzinger singing Phantom of the Opera!!
Yes please this has to happen!!!
YES. It’s why I think she’s wasted in pop 😂
I agree! I was impressed by it
I also really like Nicole Scherzinger’s rendition of “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.” She’s so underrated!
YES YES YES THAT E6 OMG 😍
It's always so interesting watching you do these. Like, you're shaping your mouth, and you nod when confirming what they're doing. And when you discuss what they're doing, it's in such a way that people understand, and other singers watching these can take note. When you're criticizing, it's in such a nice way, explaining what it is they're doing, and it's not putting them down at all. It bothers me so much when someone is rude when discussing why a certain technique didn't work well, and even looking into ways one could improve it, or at least an alternative to make it easier, or something. It's wonderful. Truly a teacher. :)
I have a couple suggestions. "HIP-HOP GOES BROADWAY" or "HIP-HOP GOES BROADWAY 2"... or "EVOLUTION OF LADY GAGA" by Superfruit.
YES SUPERFRUIT
YES SUPERFRUIT PLEASE
I love how you explain everything in a way that is easy to understand, even if we aren’t experts or professional singers❤️
Yes!! Especially the "n-g" part. Such a clear, simple yet detailed explanation. Love it!
I got to say that was an interesting review. You're obviously knowledgeable and you explained your information in a way that i as a non singer could understand. But you've also really helped me understand just why some singers sounds off to me even though they're not necessarily out of tune. I'm going to watch more of your videos now, i just feel like you have much to teach me. Great work. 👏👏👏
I prefer this Jessie to the “nonononononononono” Jessie, trying to impress everyone with her vocal range in every song. I like this better
I love them both
THE ZOOM IN ON YOUR TITANIC SHIRT REALLY SENT ME DHKJSHAKJDHKJSH
this is such a lovely reaction video again, i always learn so much + feel so relaxed when i watch your videos.
thank you !!
The little editing tricks are hilarious. Zooming in on Jack and Rose for the big moments. It's been ages since I've listened to this song without the years of baggage. It really is a fantastic song.
You touched a bit on emotional color. I'd love to see you tackle something that's very "in character" like from a show and talk a little bit about how it's different when you're, say, Elphaba than if you're Idina Menzel in concert (does that make sense? Character vs performer.)
I really want to see you analysing Jessie J - Purple Rain from the same show The Singer. She has so many different things going on at that performance I just want to know your point of view.
And thank you for this video
Upp
TheHarmonian same
I’m supposed to be working on my big blanket crochet project but I just cannot stop watching your videos! I love how much detail you provide, so incredibly instructional.
Please could you react to Celine Dion maybe singing this song back when it came out (was it the 90s, or another song) and in recent years. It would be interesting to compare and note the differences, how she changed or how she is the same
Celine's MHWGO came out in November 1997. Her Divas Live '98 performance is extraordinary (imho), and I'd love to see/hear Sam's comments on it. (Along with her performance of "River Deep, Mountain High" during that same concert...)
that would be so cool! Major thumbs up!
Yes!!
I want this too
I imagine my suggestions won't pull in many views, but I just love Broadway. I would be interested in seeing you react to any of the well-known Broadway actors especially colm wilkinson, Bernadette Peters, Lea Solonga, Patti lupone, Kristin Chenoweth (Glitter and be Gay is killer) the list goes on and on. Drew Sarich is much lesser known but an excellent Broadway performer. I've always wondered how he gets the interesting tone to his voice. He did JCS awhile back in Germany; Best Judas ever and so raw!!
Thanks for the great videos!
That's a great idea 😀 Especially also the aspects of the techniques necessary when singing full shows multiple times a week and dancing at the same time!
Th B yes!! It would be incredibly interesting to hear his perspective on that!
Id absolutely love to see a reaction to Lea Michele
Would love to see this.
snowshoe144 yes! Great suggestion 😊😊
YAAS! I've been waiting for someone to react to this and i'm soooo happy it's you!
Just found your channel, and i absolutely love it! Youre so calm, and i learn so much from watching. Keep on making videos man, much love!
Her voice is really powerful, not just the heavy high voice, but the gentler softer things are really good. And most importantly she knows how to use it. That's coming from someone who doesn't know much about singing. I had a yer of classical singing and that's it lol.
You have such an amazing energy that just beams through the video and makes my days brighter. Thank you for being you!
I love watching your videos! When people sing beautifully, your reactions to them are so pure! It's wonderful to see someone so into the beautiful art of singing.
Please react to Florence Welch, she's such an amazing and underrated singer!!
Cloudy Here Seconded! Her voice is phenomenal.
I agree too!
As much as I love Florence and I do, she does a lot wrong technically. I would love to see Sam react, to see if he catches the same things both my mom and I notice, on a technical level. A lot of pop singers have extremely poor and harmful technique, which younger people try to mimic and end up with really bad habits that damage the voice. Sam is usually spot on with vocal assessments.
This needs to happen YESTERDAY.
yes yES YES!!!
Wig? Snatched
Depression? Who’s that?
Anxiety? Cured
Breath? Shook
vowels? clean
Tea? Spilled
Life? Gotten
Hotel? Trivago.
Azurithes this is the best one🤣
I'm so glad you reviewed this one! I have listened to it over and over again and it was great to hear how it went from your perspective
Such a row of awesomeness! Song, performance and analysis!!! Great job Sam, and thank you very much 😍
5:27 lmao stop
😂😂😂😂 I loveeeee Sam's sense of humor!
Yeah, that was pretty great.
That part made me giggle
🤣🤣🤣🤣
8:37 also here lmao
Her new album actually does showcase the softer and more vulnerable side of her.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. THANKS
I just love how your eyes express what is on your mind about their voices and how you move to the side your head... when you are starting to like it 😄😄 I really enjoy your videos...
IM KING OF THE WORLD
I love your vids and have commented to that effect on many of them. Could you do some more classical singers analysis(Pavarotti, Bocelli, etc.) and explain to non-singers like myself what makes them the greats? I think it’d be fun. I’ll watch whatever you upload anyway tho lol
Last line lol SAME
Mannn, Pavarotti gives me chills! Would love to hear his take on him.
You have such a gentle smile when you're evaluating these videos !
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSSS
Omg the titanic shirt, we love a supportive sister
Cameron Hill Brother !!!
Please react to a live performance by Amy Lee. She was my inspiration to start singing, but I notice in a lot of her live shows, her voice seems shaky often. I'd love to hear you analyze her!
Same! I'd love a techinical inside on that.
I think she just has poor breath control when she sings live for an extended period.
I noticed that. She really seems to struggle a lot with it, and is an added difficulty since she has a lot of high notes in her songs. I'd love to see what Sam would have to say other than that, and all the other things we're definitely missing.
I think its because she sings alot, for a lengthy period of time with no outside help from machinery as well as alot of movement which makes her tired, therefore she has a tired voice in which its hard to sing on key,
I’d love to see that! I was struggling to pick a favourite one to suggest. I saw her live myself in December and she was mind blowing.
"Hi! My name is Sam Johnson and I'm the most adorable thing you've ever seen"
I got so excited to learn you give vocal lessons in my city. Time to save up😍
I watch quite a lot of videos from vocal coaches because I find it very interesting. I have to say, your videos are my favourite. I love how positive you are, I love how you break down everything fully for none singers to understand and I love seeing you much you enjoy the performances!
I love how you always analyze someone so amazingly, without judgement. Love all your videos and hair. Great shirt, btw. 😊❤
Please react to Purple Rain by Prince and covered by Jessie J in Singer 2018! I think it's the best rendition of the song. You won't regret it!
Up
Cristina Huilar YES YES YES
YES
Apart from loving every video I've seen so far, I love how you do your intro quick and easy it's great!
I'm so glad I found your videos. You're so pleasant and knowledgeable, I am loving these.
Thank you so much for this video react .
Jessie is a Queen .
Woohoo I got so excited when I saw the notification ! Love this channel.
Love to see you do an analysis of Lily Allen. She's got such a clear accent when she sings, I'm kind of intrigued as to whether she's sacrificing anything to maintain that, especially with how often you mention altering vowel sounds to aid the voice.
Sam I'm a new fan of yours! Just found your channel and I'm binging my way through, love how constructive and positive you are in your critique. Much love.
Lmao the zoom in on the shirt made me laugh so hard. Also great reaction/analysis. Love this channel more and more!
Love the zooms. Cracked me up everytime 😂 also congrats on hitting 232k!!! I love the way Jessie J sung here and hope she does more songs like these in the future
Your videos are helping me so MUCH, I am totally binge watching right now 😍 I can’t say how much I admire you!
I absolutely love this video and many other of your videos I’ve watched. I’m not educated in many singing techniques so it’s been so interesting seeing you break down the technical side of things with different performances. Every time you point out something new I get sooo excited!! 😂
Your videos showed up in my recommended and I really enjoy them!!! Instantly subscribed
The aluminum straw link is my favorite part of the description
Amy G mine is the toothpaste.
JJ's vocal abilities are of a very high level, she was once kicked out of a choir because her voice was so powerful she would overpower the rest of them even if they sang all together. She was just a kid then.
love your videos, keep up the good work!
You are so engaging and informative to watch. I love learning all about the voice, even though I’m not at all talented in that area. I really like how positive you are when offering input/critique. I’d love to see some analysis of people who sing in a wide range of styles (maybe someone like Mike Patton). I’m curious to know what they do differently in diverse styles. Really great channel 😀
Instant chills when Jessi started singing. She has an incredible voice.💖💋
I think I've found my new favourite youtube channel. Great work. I love your videos.
Thank you so so much for doing this request. Can't believe you did it. X
By far my favorite voice teacher on CZcams you’re the best Sam!
Been waiting for a Jessie J song she's my favorite vocalist
Ok CZcams, coming through with the recommendations! I subscribed a few days ago, I've watched all of your videos, and you got me, I'm hooked! I love how passionate, and informative you really are. There's no doubting when watching your videos that you genuinely love what you do, and are great at it! It is quite refreshing to watch. 🙂
Your videos are so addictive because you give such objective opinions, with all your knowledge... I’ve learnt so much and I also really enjoy your voice and personality! Subscribing and sharing to a lot of people!
She was meant to sing this song. It hurts my heart so so good. I love this
She sounds great. Jessie J wrote Miley Cyrus’s “party in the USA”
I'm always loving your videos! You have a unique perspective and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge when you break down these performances!
I am so obsessed with your channel and it's helped me learn techniques even as a mediocre singer! Love you!
Finally a Jessie J analysis!!! Could you also do an analysis on her another performance Killing me softly with his song as well? Love your content!
I love Jessie J so much! She makes everything seem so effortless!
Spectacular! ❤❤
I just love your channel!
LOL I am dust at the zoom-ins. Your expressions were also giving me what I needed. 🤣 I just adore you.
I believe Perfect by Ed Sheeran and Andrea Bocelli would be a great one to analyze. I'd love to see how you'll react to the contrast between the two
Matheus DeGiovanni yes please! I download this version of the song as soon as I heard it. It’s by far the best out of all three versions. Gives me goosebumps.
Or maby why the Beyoncé dont work, She is so good but that was a bad song for her
Ah Andrea Bocelli
@@caniart1514 I love Beyonce but their voices don't go well together
Sam thank you so much for your dedication your passion for what you do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge your simply amazing.
Found it
You have to sub his amazing , I'm glad you're enjoying it Amelia 😊
Missed your videos for some days now but still appreciated! This video reminds me of how nice it would be if one of KZ's performance in Singer 2018 gets analyzed. Tysm in advance!
I LOVE these videos. They've improved my vocals a ton. And I love Jessie J!! This girl is amazing and her vocals shake right through me. Beautiful
When he zoomed in the T-shirt I’m 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The flute is gorgeous in My Heart Will Go On.
You are my favorite vocal coach on this platform. You explain technique so well. Keep on 💙
My favorite part of your videos is watching. The enjoyment you have for the music. It's all over your face and I'm. Obsessed!
