ABOUT…
I am Rebecca and I am one heck of a passionate vocal coach/singer/songwriter/impressionist/health/fitness/self- improvement/anything that makes me smile!! I love anything vocal/singing related and geek out on it every day. I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2017 and my ovaries and fallopian tubes. The tumour was the size of a 20 week baby!! However, despite not being able to walk for a couple of weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…?
Also thank you for all your support. It means a lot.

True story: I grew up with Brent in Knoxville TN. I've known him since Kindergarten (although we haven't talked since we finished High School). In 7th grade, we rode the bus together and used to share the headphone pieces from a Walkman and listen to metal tapes. He would always sing along, and had a great singing voice all the way back from 7th grade. We both got guitars that year and used to spend the night at each other's houses showing each other what we had recently learned on our guitars. (Neither one of us got any good at it). We also wrestled together on our High School wrestling team. Anyway, he obviously stuck with music, and I didn't. I left home after high school and went into the Marines. I got out 5 years later and moved to FL for flight school. I heard Shinedown for the 1st time down there in 2001. I instantly recognized the voice, but couldn't place who it was. Once I found out it was my old school buddy, it made perfect sense. He's always had a powerful voice. Wish I could reconnect with him.
go to a concert and explain to him with backstage pass.
I met him before the second show I saw them. The few minutes I got to talk to each of them, they definitely did not forget where they came from
Hey Jason,
I live in Knoxville TN. If you don't mind me asking, what H.S. did you two go to?
@@eddiehaskell1957 Doyle for middle school, then it became South Doyle for High School. I moved back to town 10 years ago, and actually only live 1 mile from our old High School!
@@jasonvandergriff7809 I don't know much about Doyle H.S. My son went to Gibbs. I live in the County. Somehow we got a Corryton zip code. Anyway I want to thank you for doing 5 yrs in the Corp.
This was nowhere NEAR his strongest performance of this song. He's an absolute beast vocalist.
Johnny Tucker which is the best live version? The in my living room one?
@@eddier9921 Yes sir. Don't you think? It's not flawless but it feels more raw and real.
Just my opinion.
Johnny Tucker I was thinking the exact same thing. The living room performance is phenomenal. The only thing is in this stage performance, he’s singing it in standard tuning with the guitar, while in the living room one, he sang that one a full step lower. So he was singing in a higher tune on stage even though it was so many years later and his voice is still damn great.
Your right, the version at his house is!!!! AWSOME
@@eddier9921 live in Kansas was his best of all songs, listen to the whole concert its incredible
Shinedown: the band with such an extensive playlist, you'd think they were 47 times bigger than they are. What a phenomenal band.
About 120 songs. And they're still going
Ummm, you are aware that they officially have the most #1 rock songs ever, right? Don't get me wrong, they're literally my favorite band, but I don't think they can be called underrated anymore lol
@@sandonparrish7217 I love Shinedown too, but I’d like to know where your information comes from? I side with @D G I feel that they are way underrated!
@@KYDRIVER1 just Google Shinedown #1 rock songs. Almost every single that they have put out in their career has went to #1 on the billboard rock charts. I'm pretty sure it was with Atlas Falls that they beat Van Halen for the most #1s
@@sandonparrish7217 well by god! You are absolutely correct! Congratulations to them! I’m glad you made me aware of that. It will give me more reason to get people to love them like I do 😂
Love your approach to vocal reaction videos! Feels natural, great flow, and quite informative. Taking notes!
Scary part is this isn't close do their best live version of this song
Yeah, there's better versions they've done out there.
This is good, but nothing compared to Ronnie Van Zant
I've seen them in concert, let me tell you how memorizing Brent is. I highly recommend seeing them live.
@IIIIISIXXIIIIII I agree he is a monster of a singer. I feel she could have picked a better version of that song. Technically it wasn't his best. He's human, not going to be perfect every time. Sometimes not perfect is what makes a song special. Just not this one.
In the world of cookie cutter singers. Brent is on his own. Never mistake his vocals. That's why he has been around as long as he has.
I I would have to agree. This was one of his worst performances of this song. Please one of his numerous better versions and critiques that. And hey Rebecca, could you please help me with my range? Please listen to the original version of "Rooster" by Alice in Chains. I've only been able to pull off the beginning a couple times in my life. How do I expand upon my range?
You must do .45 by Shinedown.
This song would kill her
Now just time to decide on the acoustic or electric version. If it were a vote, mine would be on the acoustic one.
Acoustic!
Acoustic version 100%
For real
Whispers “Shit...yes!” My favorite reaction so far.
Shinedown Rules in concert. You must see them when they come by your area.
I have!!! Amazing
Greenville sc at the handle bar in like 03 or 04...only about 100 or 200 people in the crowd. Best concert ive seen by far.
One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to in my life!
Saw them long long ago at jacksonville fairgrounds when they were up and coming. Amazing show
Seeing them in October!
If you love this ".45" is a good one as well as I must admit I love "Cut the Cord"
I like watching the living.room version, then his mid career live version.and the most recent live/radio version just to see how much his look and sound has changed yet the power remains.
@@7H3541N7 all of the livin room songs are remarkable
"45" from Kansans City with the story at the beginning is amazing. czcams.com/video/mkBCosrxF5Q/video.html
This is a powerful song. I havent heard it live though. I love shindown but i feel like his live performance arent his strong suit
"call me" or "what a shame" are in my opinion his best vocal work. Sadly they never play those songs live.
More recently, they have started doing that song live again.
@@LUckybones25 ive seen a few videos but they almost never play them like they were played on the album and i think its because they dont include it on the setlist but instead its requested. I know one video i saw said they didnt even play it when the album came out but for some reason peole started requesting it a lot so they just attempted it even without practice. which i mean, good on them for giving it a shot.
I've seen them 5 times and they have played call me every time.
Seen them 8 times. Call Me I've seen once. What A Shame, never. Which is a shame because it is absolutely my favorite song of theirs. BUT they're touring with a more personal set and their posters for it have What A Shame right at the top. Seeing them in April!
I love when you turn to the camera with the expression of “are you hearing this voice?!?!”
Seen shinedown live few years back. I have never seen anything like it. Absolutely unbelievable. This video does not even begin to demonstrate what his vocals are actually like. Best live performance i have ever seen by a long long way. If you ever get the opportunity to see them live then dont miss it.
Brent Smith is an outstanding vocalist and I'm thrilled he's made it to your analysis. Sebastian Bach, Pantera, and Brent Smith in such a short span of time...what a holiday gift! Thank you!
The challenge here is to find a song that Brent Smith CAN'T sing. The man has some serious vocals!
challenge accepted.......... only time i got to see him live he was mid cold and didnt hold a note for more than a second and had the range of a turnip... i know that is not normal for him but i was very upset.
I’ve seen them probably close to a half-dozen times and I’ve never been impressed, which is unfortunate because their songs are incredible and they’re among my all-time favorite bands. He’s never been able to step up live, even in their TV concerts.
Nate Thomas I have the same experience. Actually, it’s kinda weird. It’s almost like he doesn’t know how to warm up cause every time I’ve seen them the 1st half of the set he sounds shaky, but his voice sounds so much better the 2nd half.
Every time I’ve seen them, I’ve been beyond impressed by his vocals.
I've seen them 8 or 9 times now and I've always been thoroughly impressed. I saw them in 2004 when they opened for Van Halen. I'm a HUGE VH fan, but Shinedown put them to shame. I've been a huge Shinedown fan ever since.
I "gave" this song to my eldest son during his confirmation and we shed a tear the both of us and he was just 15 years old
I have put this cover into my will. Literally. My Son and stepdaughter will play this at my funeral. Brings tears to my eyes every time.
Funfact: The guitarist (Jasin Todd) at the time Shinedown recorded this song (Lynyrd Skynyrd cover) for the album Leave a Whisper, is married to the daughter (Melody Van Zant) of one of the founders of Lynyrd Skynyrd (Ronnie Van Zant).
The song came about because in the early days of Shinedown the band would play at venue called Freebird Live in Jacksonville (the hometown of both Shinedown and Synyrd). That venue was owned by Judy Van Zant, Ronnie's widow and Melody's mother. Shinedown used to play this song as a thank you to Judy and a tribute to Ronnie.
Indeed. That’s why the version were they bust into the electric and drums is the best(old shinedown)
@@anonymouscali7966 When you say "old Shinedown" I'm not sure what you mean. They still use drums and electric guitar on "Simple Man". See this video from two days ago (not my video). czcams.com/video/qgSmXpXtpZI/video.html
This is one of the few covers I actually like better than the original, lol and I am almost ashamed to say that as I am a major lynyrd skynyrd fan.
Totally agree, this is my favorite version of simple man!!!💕💖
I will follow all the Alter Bridge fans here.
Words Darker Than Their Wings live at the Royal Albert Hall is a reaction videothat you should definitely do.
And I will continue to ask for Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) played by Myles Kennedy at the Olympia in Paris 2 weeks ago, he played the song in tribute to Jeff Buckley.
He was playing with Jeff's Telecaster guitar (the one he used to play in this very same place for his live album.) so emotional!
I was at this show, and SHINEDOWN was the band opening for Alter Bridge 😉
Shinedown is a very nice band, the vocals are perfect!
he has such a weak voice and by that i mean its weak unlike Rob Halford's or geoff tates or Bruces. etc. Myles would never be heard without a microphone rob Halford 1005 would all the wayto the back or Jay Buchanan..or any of the above mentioned. his voice is tonally beautiful though
@@1dawnf yeah... I don't know... Maybe not the most powerful but I'de love to have the half of his beautiful voice. You're talking of Halford... Of course, Rob is the king, but the emotional force... The feelings... Traveling through Myles Kennedy's voice are over than Halford's in my opinion.
This 1 million times.
Yess!!
I was lucky enough to be there for that and I still get goosebumps whenever I hear it. It was truly incredible.
I also think it's good to hear Mark Tremonti as his vocal harmonies perfectly compliment Miles'.
I love watching how animated and passionate Rebecca is about music!! She seems she’d be a lot of fun to hang out with 😁
I have seen Shinedown twice now and they never cease to amaze me. There truly amazing and his voice is incredible
Brent has a lot of soul and MoTown influences and that has definitely impacted his singing. Seen them live 4 times and it's been fantastic every single time
ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS LIVE , THEY PUT THEIR SOUL AND DO A AMAZING SHOW FOR THEIR FANS ! 🎤🎸☝🏻
Our homegirl just had a flash flood down under. I don't blame her. He's good
Shinedown is one of my favorite bands!! They were touring with one of my other all time favorites..Alter Bridge last year. I got to see them both..was AWESOME!! Two very different styles of vocals but both very powerful,and great musicians all!
Who was the headliner for that tour? I'd find it difficult to pick one out of those 2
As mentioned a lot in various comment sections: Alter Bridge "Words Darker Than Their Wings" Live at The Royal Albert Hall, please Rebecca :)
💯
She already has, 7 months ago. Edit I apologize, that was Blackbird. I shall be whipped accordingly.
@@ratrodramblin Don't worry, I've been asking her so many times for that video I think I would slap myself if I found out I missed it :) ahah - Ps: I do apologize for my shaky English
I have to second this, I saw that gig live and it blew my mind when he sung that song hopefully she will do a reaction t video to it soon
My Christmas is complete! My favorite CZcams goddess reacted to my favorite modern male vocalist, and she liked it :D. Interesting facts: they are currently touring with Myles & Alterbridge, they helped Lzzy Hale and Halestorm get their start, and Shinedown is one of the hardest working, touring bands out there. Thank you so much, lovely RVA, for giving this gift. I agree below to react to some of their original stuff like 45, Save Me, What a Shame, Monsters. Off to your Patreon to join up:D
The Lynyrd Skynyrd classic. I'm glad to see others covering it, keeping it alive.
I've been listening to them since 2003 and have seen them 15 times live throughout the years. He has been great since day one and year after year and album after album he finds a way to bring it to the next level. Unbelievable
Shinedown is a awesome band!
Shinedown is my favorite band and I saw you reacting to it. You’re so cute and I loved your reaction so real. Brent is one of the best vocalist there is right now. He’s so real powerful and unique with his style.
Rebecca: "you've got to open your mouth"
Bruce Springsteen: "I don't think I will"
When my wife and I got married this version of Simple Man is what I walked down the aisle to.
He is probably my favorite vocalist that's come out in the last 10 years I've seen them live 3 times he never ever disappoints. If you like the way his voice sounds you should listen the more of their songs cause he is just absolutely phenomenal
I was just about to go get something done and then you posted this so I had to stop and watch. Haha
Shinedown was my daughter's favorite band for a long time and we have seen them many times. Brent Smith's voice is very strong and powerful. One of my favorite vocalists of this era of rock music.
They have been touring through Europe/UK for the last month with Alter Bridge. That would have been an amazing show to go to.
I'm going to see them (Alter Bridge) next July and I can't wait!! I don't know if Shinedown will follow but I hope so.
@@julyriver8851 have you seen them before? I just saw them and did the VIP in October. Incredible show. They were touring with Skillet then. I posted a few videos I took .
@iwtmltyb I saw them in October and I agree! They are both incredible musicians and performers. Flip and Brian are awesome also!
@@shamalamadingdong5718 Yes, back in 2008. Great concert and great night overall. A funny memory is a guy next to me that completely freaked out just watching one of Mark's guitar being carried on stage by a crew member (my though was "think what he's gonna do when the man will show up!") and then I also remember me and my friend, as everybody else in the audience, dropping the jaw at the end of "Travelling Riverside Blues". These guys are so talented! All of them. Wow, VIP? I'm happy for you! I'll have a look at your videos for sure, thanks.
@@julyriver8851 that sounds funny that the guy would freak out about seeing his guitar. I have been to shows where the crowd would go nuts when the roadies would start playing something during soundcheck.
Awesome, if you check them out there are also a few I recorded from when I saw Myles on his solo tour. 👍
I got to see them live and I swear, we were all so captivated. It doesn't only sound amazing in person, it feels amazing, like it resonates in your body.
shinedown is one of my favorite bands! dude has a powerful voice.
You definitely need to hear the “in my house” version of this song by shinedown!!! Please! Lol
This is one of those songs where I can remember exactly where I was when I heard it
This song never fails to make me shed a tear. Makes me think about my parents and my son and everything they wanted for me, and subsequently everything I want for my son. Beautiful song.
Blimey! Yes indeed, he's on another plane vocally. If you aren't a fan of Shinedown, what the hell are you waiting for.
Brent Smith can seriously sing live, he's got a set of pipes. Shinedown is also one of the best live bands around
Have to agree, saw them live for the first time this year, and I will never miss another one.
Seen them live a total of 4 times.
They are pretty damn good live.
Amen.. they rock. The Amerillis cd is the best
Hands down
This live version really down't not do him any justice. The Acoustic studio version lets him come out full force. I think his voice is up there among the great in rock and metal.
I prefer the version who does in some guys living room better. He's tired in this one
Totally agree with you. The acoustic studio version is great. Hes vocals are great !! Up there with the best.
czcams.com/video/Q_yBTIkwXoA/video.html you can check the uploads for the others they did in their living room. Amazing.
I was thinking the same thing with this one. Older one is far better!
Yepp
Take a look at the one in the living room 👍👌
Saw these guys at rock usa 2 years ago. Brents voice live is insane. Its so damn clear and perfect
Watching you react is a show in and of itself. You live for both the Music, and the explanation of how and why it works. Dont ever change. All this on top of you being very easy on the Eye.
That's one of the greatest songs ever wrote love that song
He sings in a man's living room, back when they first came on the scene and those live songs are my favorites to hear his voice.
I’m so glad I got to see them live several years ago. Was so incredibly good!!💯
You've hit a millions subs! Congrats! Was waiting to see that 1M. Love watching your videos. Never stop singing!
I always love this cover, his voice is angelic. You should check out "45" by the same band.
Y E S
The acoustic version of 45 really shows his vocal power.
Fly From The Inside was also a great song from that album
Shed Some Light is another one that I really enjoy. 2nd album though. Lacerated is a good one too
I agree, that song killer!She said wanna more so...I love '45' very much!
This is crazy how not even close to the best I've heard Brent sing. Dude is an amazing talent! I think I've seen Shinedown no less than 10 times (to me that's a lot)
I've always loved Shine Down, didn't sit well with kids in middle school when apple bottom jeans was the bop. I'm glad so many people appreciate them and their talents on a highter level ♡
I love watching your reactions to all of these amazing singers; however, I love looking at your absolutely beautiful face even more. ;) Also, Shinedown is the best!
Please react to Shinedown- 45! Its phenomenal, his voice and performances of it live and in studio are powerful. Great reaction.
You NEED NEED NEED to do some more Shinedown Reactions.... such an incredible band and such a versatile voice!!! Xx
I believe their song "I'll follow you" is where he really uses his voice to its fullest!
Valid comment, even 2 years later.
My favorite band. I've seen them in concert so many times. The reason he's so sweaty is because this is usually one of the very last songs they play. He's so amazing.
I just started watching a couple videos of yours and they are fun to delve into. Being that you so admire the skill and emotion of the singer I think a great video for you would be a review of Charles Bradley’s cover of Changes. The video in particular to watch is his live performance for the Toronto Star CZcams channel. It is an absolutely phenomenal performance.
I have seen them live twice. This is by far one of the best songs in any set.
I love that it's like the "encore" for them almost
You gotta react to shinedown 45. His voice is INSANE! At the end you'll hear him say, whew! That song truly shows what he can do. My favorite song of theirs.
Brent is an all around amazing showman. I’ve never been to see Shinedown but have seen them five times at festivals or two see the opening act. 15 years ago they would bring a kid from make a wish on stage and introduce them to the crowd. The smile on the faces would bring tears to your eyes as they sang that song to them.
Brent and Zach are amazing artist!! i love listening to shinedown!!
"Simple Man" - by Lynyrd Skynyrd (1973)
Skynyrds the best
Comparing it technically, if you take out the love for Skynyrd, it's not in the same league. I mean, purely objectively speaking. If your reaction to that fact is emotional, you don't have an understanding, you have an opinion. Which is fine, just isn't at all related to what I'm saying.
Brent has such an amazing voice. I’ve been a shinedown fan since day one. I would love to see them live
My best friend introduced me to this song when we were teenagers. He passed away a few days before my wedding. I miss him every day. This song always makes me cry.
There’s another version of them doing this in some ones living room.. I think it was a radio station contest.. but it’s even better..& on CZcams
I love the rendition of him sitting in his friends living room doing it acoustic. My favorite rendition of this song. It's like a 9 or 11 year old video. But I keep going back to it.
Is it the one where he's in a house back in '09
I absolutely love your reactions!!! As a hobby musician (bass and a little guitar) I really enjoy seeing how you get lost in the lyrics and are able to show how these artists are able to do what they do! I am NOT a vocalist. I never sound good when I try to sing. So I will stick to my bass. But I have learned a LOT from watching your videos!!! Thank You!!!!
Going to their concert and hearing this song live was a big check off my bucket list. He can sing anything. Amazing show
you should check out Jensen Ackles version of this as well, if you dont mind a mass of supernatural fans XD
WOW !! I need to get out of my 80's metal bubble. This was wonderful .
I am in love with that smile for whatever reason!
There are many singing teachers who make reactions to various and varied songs, but if I lived in the USA, it is very clear that I would take classes with you, because your absolute passion and knowledge shows.
Greetings from Argentina.
It's nice you are reacting to rock music again
You picked a good one and I'm glad You liked it. Keep on Being You and Enjoy the Rest of Your Weekend : )
Actually been there and heard it live and got CHILLS. Sang the original version to my son when he was a baby almost every night.
Shinedown one of my favorite bands and have had the pleasure of seeing them live a couple times. He's AMAZING.
Please react to Words Darker Than Their Wings by Alter Bridge live at The Royal Albert Hall.
Oh Yes! 🤘
True. Yes. Absolutely. Amazing live performance.
Yes yes yes. I was there on the first day!! Was immense!!
Absolutely!
Yes 💯
I love the deconstruction and explanation.. I feel like I'm getting some hard earned knowledge for freeee.. I don't know anything more than what I learned in middle school choir.. Love this channel. BTW, there was a point where you reminded me of one of my favorite moves... "Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her so much, it...it...it... flames... flames, on the sides of my face, breathing...breathless...heaping breaths... heaping- " - Mrs. White, Clue.
Just one of the best and all time favorite songs ever in my book! Simply beautiful, utterly and outstandingly heavenly.
I love watching your reactions and your transition to the best smile ever at 1:34 is beyond beautiful and genuine! It is in my opinion the best on CZcams.
"Fly to the angels" Slaugther trust me!
Shinedown did this version on WAAF 107.3 FM originally many moons ago.
Wow your singing voice is beautiful. I love how you feel the emotion of the band when your reacting
Commented before but so excited. They are coming back as a headliner in my town for a concert in May and I got tickets. YAY!!!!
Do yourself a favor and listen to everyone of Shinedown’s records from start to finish! Brent has one of the best voices in the history of all music!
Your not sweaty, you got moist! 😂
Great song, great cover.
I have seen Shinedown 5 times and they are better each time.
The energy they bring at a show and the way Shinedown embraces the Human Spirit sets them apart.
Its rare these days to go to a show where children feel welcomed.
Keep impacting the world.
SD Nation 4Life
Just saw them in September, simply AMAZING! It was my second time seeing them and I swear they get better and better with time. 💙
There is something so endearing about your honest commentary and your open display of your eccentricities. You are one of my absolute favorite reaction channels! Thank you for all your great work!
I would love to see you react to the studio version of Guns N Roses - Civil War
I love love love Brent Smiths voice. He is a beast live and the only band I will see over and over live.
I love how she gushes over him like all of us do. Welcome to the club!
They've really upped their live game since then. Saw them last Saturday at the O2 and they did this. Note perfect. And his voice sounds better now too. 👍
Volbeat- When we were kids
Kansas- Carry on wayward son
Two great vocalists!
The original version of Simple Man was done by Lynyrd Skynyrd. if anyone's interested.
Do Colorblind by Counting Crows. Hell, review any of their songs...
I was lucky enough to hear them on that tour. Johnnie V was on fire
No
Been watching your videos for a while now and didn't realize I wasn't subscribed until you sang it to me lol. Whatever works =)
i saw them play this live and it was the best experience of my lifetime
Hi there,
Musician from South Louisiana here. You've gotta react to Myles Kennedy, and Slash, doing beggars, and Hangers On. Live acoustic versions..
Talk about smooth!!! Myles is flawless, and Slash,,,, well you know
Please don't do any miles that guy is annoying
These guys did VANSANT an amazing job covering his song. The best music always comes from the AMERICAN SOUTH!!!
VanZant not VanSant!!!
@@robertsettle2590 lmmao I'm driving dude, calm down
@@AClark-jx9zp right BIG A. No Worries. You are quite right about the best music is from the
AMERICAN SOUTHLAND, it picks me up so much. It makes me happy when I'm feeling blue, now how bout you! Just finished listening to the OZARK MOUNTAIN DAREDEVILS
. Now that Southern Missoura music is a perfect example of the supreme music that permeates and flows from the great AMERICAN SOUTH. Just like you said BIG A.!!!
I heard you say you like when people just say hi to you in the comments...HI!
Love your reactions and your commentary, keep up the great work!
Larry from California
Among all the metal bands I’ve seen live. He has the best form and puts forth the most concerted effort to stay on par with the expectations he creates in the studio. And, of course, this Lynnard Skynyrd cover is a staple of their tours. I saw them as a Godsmack fan on the same bill and left a Shinedown fan.
