Very true. I think backup singers get over looked (understandably), but it's hard and important work. To be frank, Jazmine is lucky to have these caliber of singers. Anyone would be lucky to have them.
Jazmine is untouchable. Not only is she a supremely talented vocalist, she's also an extremely gifted songwriter. She doesn't get enough credit for her writing abilities. Both lyrics and melodies. She is everything. And she's been this good for a very long time.
Exactly. Thank you. This is what I meant. That said, I also think folks are trying to communicate their use of the word raspy to describe her tone in a positive way and I'm missing that in my explanation. I'm just going to have to listen to a lot more r&b to try and grasp it.
"....knowing how to correct a mistake in the middle of making it is part of being a professional. Because you're never going to be perfect all the time, ever. You have to know how to get out of a bad situation" ---> when a vocal education lesson translates into a life lesson
Learning so much! As a singer I couldn’t precisely articulate why Jazmine was so astounding and infuriating 😂 Thank you for giving me the knowledge/vocabulary lol
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that. I made a few videos where I try to give more of a technical breakdown. I'll link them here. There's a lot of work to be done for us mortal singers to understand how to execute what I discuss in the videos. czcams.com/video/JBcOrHhsxKU/video.html - high level concept here czcams.com/video/k1Yc1KvFCMc/video.html - actual practicing of those concepts here. If at any point in the videos above you get bored or don't understand something, please gimme the time stamp. I personally felt that these videos were a bit weak and I want to improve upon them in the future. Singing is an exciting adventure and I wish you the best on your singing travels!
This is the FIRST reaction of all the reactions I've watched for this concert that actually stops and Appreciates the MIC TECHNIQUE!!!!! You have no idea how happy I was that you noticed, you backed up, you pointed it out, and APPRECIATED IT!!! I LOVE TO SEE & HEAR IT!!! THANK YOU!!! One thing that every reaction has in common is though is everyone is essentially left speechless. I'm so glad they did this for us 💙 We Needed This 💙
That’s her regular voice. Rasp is subjective for sure. It’s just different for most people and they aren’t use to hearing those lows and depth from a female. It’s beautiful regardless!
That specific “fry” you mentioned was a good spot. You tend to hear that a lot in gospel music as well which makes sense giving her background. That’s probably where her “grit” comes from. Great catch 🙌🏽
Glad you reacted to the second half! I enjoyed hearing your take on it. That said, while I do agree you can teach yourself to do runs, I don't want people to get their hopes up thinking they'll be able to do runs and riffs as well as Jaz lol, cuz she's on a different level! I can do runs and riffs pretty well myself, but her precision, cleanliness, musicality, and how she strategically approaches her riffs and runs in her songs really sets her apart. Plus, your ear has to be crazy good to come up with, let alone execute some of the riffs and runs that she does! You can hear it especially in that Tonight Show performance of Girl Like Me that everybody keeps mentioning. Her ear is INSANE!
I think the musicianship is where a lot of people would have problems. I personally have never had to work for vocal agility (though as I age I have to actually bother to practice it) and so I never found it impressive. That said, in my brief time playing jazz guitar, I know how hard it is to make musical decisions with scales against chords. It's this portion of Jazmine's extremely developed musical intuition that I find incredible. Her ability to do that also speaks volumes about her song writing.
@@LesageSinging Agreed. I get bored easily if singers do a bunch of runs just for the sake of doing it...it’s the intentionality behind it that keeps me interested. Great to have in your bag of tricks, but shouldn’t be your only trick lol
100%. I can't tell you how many singers forget that they are making the audience listen to them for more than 30 seconds. It's always awkward to go to karaoke or local performances and watch the "look at me, I'm so good" kind of singers. I never know what to tell them 😂🤣😞
You should do a video on a male R&B vocalist by the name of Avery Wilson. If you're not familiar with him, you would love him. His voice is incredible.
New to your page. I’ve spent the last 5 hours watching reactions to this tiny desk concert. Jazmine Sullivan has been my favorite singer for over a decade and i really appreciate witnessing people discover her for the first time, and especially people who really love and understand singing. You gained a subscriber and I can’t wait to watch more of your stuff. Heads up: Jazmine will be singing the national anthem for this years super bowl and H.E.R. will be singing America the beautiful. So....😁
Your observation regarding H.E.R and Prince's influence was spot on. H.E.R is multi-talented & multilayered as a critical thinker, musician & human being. She is one to watch & Jazmine Sullivan's talent is unmatched. They are phenomenal together. Your commentary makes me appreciate their performance even more.
I know nothing about singing technics and craft. And listening to you dissecting everything that she is doing makes me realize how hard and complex singing actually is. It sounds good but everything is intentional and good artists and voice teacher's all together needs their credit. Thanks
singing technique is awesome and cool, but I want to be clear that it isn't art. Technique gives you more tools in your tool kit, but great things can be made with just a hammer. That said, yeah, I think its supremely amazing all of the stuff she is doing to bring out each musical phrase (whether or not she knows she is doing it). It chokes me up a little, NGL
The thing about runs, aside from making your voice move quick, you need a really good ear for them to happen to fit into what you’re singing. As someone who does a lot of runs, very few can do it like Jazmine can. She does them very quick in between words and the notes she picks can be hard, ESPECIALLY when she goes outside of the keys within the cords she singing. It’s unheard of.
I wouldn't say unheard of. Jazz musicians do this often and Ella Fitzgerald was phenomenal at it. It is, absolutely, a very difficult skill to develop. There is also no denying that Jazmine is a master of it. She is a ferocious musician and artist. Jazz theory offers a lot more options than classical depending on the chord being played. In particular the five chord offers some rreeaaally juicy options.
I am SO happy you made a part 2! I really wanted you to react to the second half of this because it got so much better and I adore your reactions to her!
Wonderful job on this channel man. I really like that you are being your authentic self and being so generous with sharing your love for this art form. Continue to express yourself and share your gift with the world.
I also love how unique they are as artists. H.E.R.'s guitar playing here is something I regret not pointing out here. She is filling in for a drummer her with her right hand technique. It's so subtle and its SO good. What an amazing time we live in where we can endlessly watch these artists.
PS, I didn't reply to your request just yet because I like to filter my comments under "has not responded yet" otherwise it'll get buried. I'm so so so excited to check out kim burrell and others.
It appears that they have great respect for each other n one isn’t trying to outshine the other but trying to make sure that they sound good together! I love it!
Thank you for the part 2. So insightful! Also, regarding H.E.R, prince is definitely an influence. I know I made a request the last time, but another artist I'd like to get your reactions on is Jessie J but not her original music, her covers of classics on the Chinese show Singer (side note: spoiler alert, she won the show and was the first outsider to ever win that competition and this happened years ago now)
I'm going to take 5 days off in one week. I was hoping to get through every single request in an insane marathon. Thanks for taking the time to make requests. It's very humbling.
I just listened to it again recently lol. I was feeling self conscious about my performing chops after watching Chloe and brought myself back here. Jazmine lets her singing do all the talking. That's not an insult to Chloe, it's just that different artists put themselves out differently. I really identify with how Jazmine carries herself and puts emphasis on the voice and the music. I'm not anywhere near as good as her obviously, but it's a reminder to stay true to myself if I want to be powerful.
I can support HER being a new age female Prince. She definitely plays many instruments and her artistry is out of this world! The sweetness and purity of her voice drives me wild! P.s. I subscribed!!!
Yeah, my wife and I heard H.E.R. for the first time while watching SNL and we both were like, "huh... I am getting prince vibes...". Her voice is really pretty. She's also an absolutely fierce musician. Thanks for the sub!
No, Prince vibes for H.E.R. is absolutely correct! She said he was a HUGE influence. She was selected to perform in a tribute concert for him (last summer I think?). Really enjoyed this video! 👍🏽
I have to see that video. I saw H.E.R. on SNL and was so floored. Her guitar chops are REAL. It's always sad when the world loses an artist who had real cultural impact, but its beautiful to see that torch carried by such a capable and unique artist such as H.E.R.
I’m enjoying these videos. Can’t wait to see you go over Jazmine singing the Wiz in her school play @ 11. @ freaking 11!!!! I cry every time I watch it
I just found your channel and so far I'm loving your content, you have excited me about my girl Jazmine Sullivan. She is a powerhouse and has always been and it's amazing seeing you experience what we hear daily in music. I appreciate you and it is a pleasure to watch you react to beautiful music. I got chills and emotional watching your reaction to our legend. Can't wait see more. 👌😉🙏❤
Best vocal education and reaction video I've seen so far, loved how u didn't stop the clip much during the last song then said sorry koz u were captivated lol, I felt the same way watching. You the man coach, way to break it down👌👌👌🤙👍
for lack of a better word, she manipulates her sound with her body, the" teethiness," neck stretch, the tilts, the posture, etc.. She's the instrument! ..lol... luv your analysis! GOD BLESS
I love your reviews of Jazmine!!! H.E.R. is amazing too and I hope you do more R&B in the future. Leon Bridges”River” or any H.E.R. Song would be great!
R&b, jazz, opera, and metal are probably my favorites to do because I feel like I understand the technique more. There's actually a lot of similarity in technique across the four genres which is funny to me because their aesthetics are way different at times.
Thanks for doing part 2. Love your reactions and how you break everything down. I also love that you have became a fan of jazmine. She will be doing the national anthem for the Super Bowl this year. I can’t wait!!
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that. Given that I see myself as a hermit, this is funny to me, but thank you. I appreciate the compliment
She's amazing. That tone is incredible and how she uses her voice is super smart. Her runs are also super technical. She's most definitely a singers singer.
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that. The performance was super moving. I really enjoy jazmine and HER together. I can't wait for the superbowl performance.
Yeah. It's a very tricky thing and can be used for many different kinds of effects. It can also be harmful if done poorly. I made a video about it, but didn't post it. I should probably post it after breakfast.
I took 5 days off of work in a week to try and get through all of these requests and also have some time with my family. I'm super excited to see Chloe because it's by far the most requested.
Correct me if I'm wrong...but it seems like when you think of rasp, you think of this very smokey, airy sound like Macy Gray. Then when you think of vocal fry, you think of grittiness and growls. That's a very by-the-book way to look at it, which I can respect to a certain degree. However if we're honest, Gospel, R&B, & Soul (the black genres) are a bit too unconventional to be sufficiently judged by those standards. In those genres, we define raspiness as smokey, husky tones or even clear tones with gritty textures. It's basically any tone that isn't crystal clear. The fact is the voice has layers. In some places it can sound huskier and darker, and in other places it can sound brighter and clearer. In some places it can be strong and in other places it can thin out. The more you follow Jazmine and really watch her sing, the more you'll be able to see that there are layers to her voice that can't be defined by a text book. What you call a vocal fry isn't that for Jazmine because it's natural. She's not purposely TRYING to sound gritty; it just is. Watch her more closely. Once she hits another layer of her voice...normally the higher she goes, the grittier it gets. And it's natural. If you pay close attention, even when she sounds clear, it isn't. There's this husky quality. I saw a comment saying that her falsettos are clear. False! SOME of her falsettos are clear. Check the tiny desk performance when sang "Girl Like Me" with H.E.R. At the end of the song when the full band came back in and they started vibing, Jazmine did this run in falsetto (in a long E vowel) and there were little breaks in it. They weren't cracks. It wasn't due to a lack of air. It was that raspy quality of her voice coming through. As I said yesterday, pay CLOSE attention to her vibrato. Sometimes there can be breaks in her vibrato due to her raspiness. I don't believe there are only two types of voices in this world, super rough damaged voices and crystal clear. I believe there are some naturally, interesting tones like Jasmine's that defy textbook teachings. Too much education can hinder you from really appreciating a rare beauty.
You and several others have been trying to communicate this sentiment, though this is certainly the most thorough among them. The tldr of everything to follow is: I don't think I understand the concept of rasp, but I'm extremely interested in it. I'm trying to keep my ear open to these sorts of things while also keeping in mind the versatility the human voice has from the manipulation of its anatomy. I don't know if I'll ever find a perfect balance of understanding, but I definitely enjoy trying to enrich my ear. If I wasn't at work at the moment, I'd give a listen to the specific things you outlined this very minute. I'm very appreciative you took the time to explain all this thoughtfully. Thank you. You've clearly spent a tremendous amount of time thinking about this and are gracious in sharing your knowledge. I do disagree on one potential idea and please correct me if I misunderstand you. The notion that the study of the human voice from a anatomic and, for lack of a better word, scientific point of view is somehow dispassionate is something I disagree with full stop. Folks from all walks of life throw themselves into the study of the human voice. People spend decades of their entire lives obsessing over every detail trying to measure and glean one more nugget of understanding. If I were here reciting a textbook, I'd agree that would be ludicrous. That's not what I'm trying to do though. I'm no scientist (I can't afford the schooling). However, I try to understand the human voice, the physics of sound, and I regularly work with a voice and speech pathologist. Why? Because I think it's super cool and it allows me to do more with my voice. That's it. I'm not citing a book of rules to be right. I am not invested in being right. I think that would be disrespectful to the artists and the science. I'm invested in knowing more about singing and music until the day I die. I'm frankly glad there is no finish line. I enjoy pursuing both very passionately and I think a combined approach is a very rich one. It's not for everyone, but it's the approach that has worked best for me. I guess put succinctly, I'm trying to understand more. I most certainly do not claim to know all. I wouldn't treat any style or singer (yes even classical music) with that presumption because I think it'd be the epitome of pompousness. Unfortunately, classical singers who precede me have created a rational expectation of pompousness with their elitist and disrespectful tact. I don't blame folks who assume I am super imposing academia arrogantly upon amazing art and artists.
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that. This is the most rewarding comment i've gotten so far. Thank you. I try my best to educate.
I just love how you admire Jazmine Sullivan. I've been a fan of hers since she was 11 years old. I don't know if you ever seen her video at the Apollo Theater when she was 11 years old that voice was already very Advanced scary vest for a child I watched it over and over and over again. I knew she would be super famous one day and no one would be able to touch her technically vocal acrobatic and skills. She is everything. Let me know what you think of the video if you get a chance to watch it
I'll check it out. I want to see how people are using the word raspy because folks and I are talking past each other due to these different definitions of the same word. It's a bit frustrating because there are certain things I know she is doing physically with her voice and I want to point those things out more clearly. People think I'm referring to her tone as a singer, but there are definitely effects I am trying to point out that people can learn to do.
@@LesageSinging I get what you mean but just check out Mali Music and Kim Burrell I just wanna get your outlook on what you mentioned like differents between Raspy and Frying
I know this review is done. But Jazmine (alone) on Jimmy Fallon!!! She sings "Girl like me" and it's *even better than this version!!* A MUST WATCH for vocalists and enthusiasts alike.
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that. The fallon performance comes highly recommended and so I'll have to give it a look see :)
I'm probably going to do a community watch of that in the Discord. HBO, from what I understand, is very aggressive with DMCA take downs. Worst comes to worst, I can always enjoy it on my own 😃
@@LesageSinging I’ll keep a look out for that! I understand you would do it as a reaction but it’s something about isolating yourself and enjoying it the first time through alone. Either way, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! Cheers from Salt Lake City, Utah!🤙🏼
@@deezkeith2282 that's what people don't understand about professional artists. They have to be so good because they don't really have time to practice due to your schedules, etc. You have to be that good. They have maybe two hours of practice a day. The rest of the time they are just doing it.
I just came across your channel during part 1, and immediately subscribed. Love how much information you give especially to those of us who just know what sounds good, but not why or how. Check out Chloe and Halle tiny desk, its amazing as well.
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that. Thank you for the encouraging comment. It really does help me keep going. You are appreciated!
Thank you! I'm really humbled by how folks are sharing their favorite artists. I'm also inspired by these artists and am practicing more than I have in years.
@@LesageSinging Your breakdown helps us understand her voice in a way I never knew possible. Jazmine recently did a special on HBOmax called "OurStoriestoTell". I won't be surprised if you get tons of requests for that one. Please and thank you🥰
Please react to Jazmine Sullivan singing Home from the wizard of oz at only 11 years old! It is amazing and will definitely show you how long she’s been doing this! A highly trained vocalist!
I don't doubt that I am missing pieces of the puzzle. The last time I got really into r&b was when Brian McKnight released back at one. So, I definitely need to wise up to more R&B. I'm glad folks are taking the time to point it out. Some even went so far as to make a long list of names to listen to and I am really happy to listen to them. It's been years since I've been this inspired by listening to singing. I've been so steeped in academia and training myself, that I missed the point for years. Listening to these artists folks are telling me about is like coming awake from a fog. You're right, not everything can be technically explained. Even physicists who do vocal modeling (check out pavarobotti if you are interested) don't get it 100% on the nose. That said, a lot of very passionate and hard working people dedicate their lives to research. Like I said, it's not 100%, but I don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water. There is some utility in thinking about the physical moving parts of the voice. It's all a balancing act and I'm hoping to balance myself out.
@@LesageSinging I appreciate your comment . I grew up with an aunt who was a music and vocal teacher. It’s great that you are willing to explore r&b too. Btw, I’m an engineer so I get how technical we can be sometimes .😀
For sure. I feel like I'm that engineer who forgets we have to ship in 2 weeks while I "clean up the code" instead of actually building the functions core to the actual product lol I code as a hobby. I hate video editing so much that I made some ffmpeg scripts in python. But yeah. I think I've been starved of the art of singing. I started practicing again after listening to Jazmine. In the next few days I'm totally binging music. I have a vacation coming up and I just couldn't be happier. These people are so good it's nuts.
@@LesageSinging code as a hobby . Lol . Music has always been a part of my life. I was a classical pianist due to my aunt being a music teacher. I use to tell her , playing classical music ribbed me of my creativity.lol. So I have an insight from the technical aspect too!! Enjoy your vacation !!!
I definitely, 100% appreciate the statement the classical can crush creativity. If you have any music up, I'd love to listen to it. And lemme emphasize hobby. I have more hard code than hard code mchardcodepants. My code breaks more often than a ten year old SUV that's been lit on fire a few times. Also. Thanks. I am going to love this vacation 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Thoroughly enjoyed your review!! It was very descriptive and entertaining because you can tell you are really a fan of great singing. I was wondering whenever you get a chance if you could react to Mariah Carey “if it’s over” live SNL. ❤️❤️
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that. I'm going to go on a spree of recordings during a vacation I have at the end of the month. Hopefully I get to this!
Thank you for doing the second half! I really like your commentary. If you review different gospel Tasha Cobbs ft Kierra Sheard "Your Spirit" is great they are SANGING! Plus H.E.R's Tiny Desk is also good.
This was great, but Jazmin performed “Girl like Me” by herself on Jimmy Fallon and it legit had me crying. You don’t have to review it, but you should really watch it.
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that. Many folks have recommended the fallon performance so I definitely plan to check it out.
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that. I'm still learning, but I'm really happy to share what I know and to keep learning.
@@LesageSinging ok cool & thanks I’m starting to learn how technical singing is . I used to think it was as simple as opening your mouth and just letting sounds out 😂 but ppl train for years and its techniques involved . I definitely respect the craft even more than I did
I think the raspiness from a lot of singers are an inspiration of Aretha Franklin. Her voice got grittier over the years but still sounded great… until it was too far gone. RiP she was one of the greats. Also Gladys Knight
I really enjoyed your reactions to THE Jazmine Sullivan! The Queen shall reign A "few" Recommendations if you will: Nao, Jorja Smith, SiR (anything but his tiny desk), Alina Baraz, Kali Uchis, Ella Mai, RAY BLK, SiR, Giveon, Ari Lennox(Static), & Toni Braxton if you really want to through it back lol
Can you react to Snarky Puppy ft Lalah Hathaway. If you are a music nerd this will be music porn for you lol. She can sing chords using her voice all my herself. Its crazy and I've never seen or heard anyone do this and the live band its absolutely crazy. Thank me later 😁😁
I know you’ve already dedicated quite a few videos to Jazmine (let’s face it though, she more than deserves it!!) but I really think you need to comment on her HBO set because that is a total masterclass and also highlights some of her old songs. What I really enjoy about your reviews is that you’re discovering Jazmine for the first time and it is so exciting for us to see that. I’ve loved her for 15 years and am so happy to see her receiving the degree of recognition that she deserves.
I am scared of HBO because they are very aggressive in copyright claims. I'm working with a friend on my Discord to make it possible to live stream reacts there and take requests via watch2gether so that we can all chat while the I'm doing the reactions. Though, I of course don't mind just listening to it because it's awesome.
would love for you to react to bilal oliver. along with jazmine, whitney, and jeff buckley, he's another i really look up to when it comes to vocal technique and having many "tools"
I LOVE Jeff Buckley. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jeff Buckley. For years I tried to sound like him. Unfortunately, my voice isn't set anywhere near as high as him, but I do a somewhat descent impression of his idioms.
It's great that you're highlighting the background singers, it's not easy backing up a force like Jazmine.
Very true. I think backup singers get over looked (understandably), but it's hard and important work. To be frank, Jazmine is lucky to have these caliber of singers. Anyone would be lucky to have them.
Jazmine is untouchable. Not only is she a supremely talented vocalist, she's also an extremely gifted songwriter. She doesn't get enough credit for her writing abilities. Both lyrics and melodies. She is everything. And she's been this good for a very long time.
I agree with you whole heatedly. She is a talent of our time.
@@LesageSinging if you want look up jazmine Sullivan on the showtime at the Apollo when she was 11 or 12 on CZcams she was phenomenal then.
She's raspy but it's intentional. She has a crystal clear falsetto
Exactly. Thank you. This is what I meant. That said, I also think folks are trying to communicate their use of the word raspy to describe her tone in a positive way and I'm missing that in my explanation. I'm just going to have to listen to a lot more r&b to try and grasp it.
@@LesageSinging yeah rasp is definitely used as a compliment to tone.... i.e. Brandy thee vocal bible lol

I made a few videos where I try to give more of a technical breakdown. I'll link them here. There's a lot of work to be done for us mortal singers to understand how to execute what I discuss in the videos.

I'm so glad they did this for us 💙
We Needed This 💙
I definitely needed this. It's tough times and art like this is so helpful.
Love how you give the insane background singers their due credit!
That’s her regular voice. Rasp is subjective for sure. It’s just different for most people and they aren’t use to hearing those lows and depth from a female. It’s beautiful regardless!
I agree it's beautiful. I think that you are right that people are not used to hearing it, but I think her tone is absolutely stellar.
Thank you!
People always want something negative to say. I think the raspiness is part of her sound. It’s what makes her sound so beautiful.
I feel in love with Jaz’s voice when she sang “I’m in love with another man” that high note towards the end will never be beat in my book.
That specific “fry” you mentioned was a good spot. You tend to hear that a lot in gospel music as well which makes sense giving her background. That’s probably where her “grit” comes from.
Great catch 🙌🏽

singing technique is awesome and cool, but I want to be clear that it isn't art. Technique gives you more tools in your tool kit, but great things can be made with just a hammer.
That said, yeah, I think its supremely amazing all of the stuff she is doing to bring out each musical phrase (whether or not she knows she is doing it). It chokes me up a little, NGL
They both will be performing at the Super Bowl. Jazmine will be signing the National Anthem and H.E.R will be performing America the Beautiful
I'm so happy to hear that. That's the biggest marketing opportunity anyone can possibly be offered and they absolutely deserve it!
Is Eric Church singing with her or he's performing a different song?
@@rahneff3952 probably playing alongside her
@@deezkeith2282 Like a duet? I don't know about that. Let us pray together. Let's hold hands, Lord..."
@@rahneff3952 hahaha right
The thing about runs, aside from making your voice move quick, you need a really good ear for them to happen to fit into what you’re singing. As someone who does a lot of runs, very few can do it like Jazmine can. She does them very quick in between words and the notes she picks can be hard, ESPECIALLY when she goes outside of the keys within the cords she singing. It’s unheard of.
I wouldn't say unheard of. Jazz musicians do this often and Ella Fitzgerald was phenomenal at it. It is, absolutely, a very difficult skill to develop. There is also no denying that Jazmine is a master of it.
She is a ferocious musician and artist.
Jazz theory offers a lot more options than classical depending on the chord being played. In particular the five chord offers some rreeaaally juicy options.
You should also react to jazmine Sullivan’s forever don’t last, Birmingham Alabama live .
Definitely! That was her last performance before she took that 5+ year gap. It was sooo good that it held me until this phenomenal return
I am SO happy you made a part 2! I really wanted you to react to the second half of this because it got so much better and I adore your reactions to her!
Wonderful job on this channel man. I really like that you are being your authentic self and being so generous with sharing your love for this art form. Continue to express yourself and share your gift with the world.
H.E.R. Is a Prince. She plays countless instruments and vocally smart. Prodigy just like Jazmine.
I also love how unique they are as artists. H.E.R.'s guitar playing here is something I regret not pointing out here. She is filling in for a drummer her with her right hand technique. It's so subtle and its SO good. What an amazing time we live in where we can endlessly watch these artists.
PS, I didn't reply to your request just yet because I like to filter my comments under "has not responded yet" otherwise it'll get buried. I'm so so so excited to check out kim burrell and others.
It appears that they have great respect for each other n one isn’t trying to outshine the other but trying to make sure that they sound good together! I love it!
HER’s tiny desk is also phenomenal. I listen to it constantly
Thank you for the part 2. So insightful! Also, regarding H.E.R, prince is definitely an influence.
I know I made a request the last time, but another artist I'd like to get your reactions on is Jessie J but not her original music, her covers of classics on the Chinese show Singer (side note: spoiler alert, she won the show and was the first outsider to ever win that competition and this happened years ago now)
I'm going to take 5 days off in one week. I was hoping to get through every single request in an insane marathon. Thanks for taking the time to make requests. It's very humbling.
Your a technical sound monster, I enjoy you Honesty and pure love for music
This tiny desk concert is on REPEAT!!
I just listened to it again recently lol. I was feeling self conscious about my performing chops after watching Chloe and brought myself back here. Jazmine lets her singing do all the talking. That's not an insult to Chloe, it's just that different artists put themselves out differently.
I really identify with how Jazmine carries herself and puts emphasis on the voice and the music. I'm not anywhere near as good as her obviously, but it's a reminder to stay true to myself if I want to be powerful.
@@LesageSinging Two amazing performers ❤️
In her case rasp doesn't hurt her voice at all but jist enhances her tone. She isn't hurting her chords or off on any notes. Very good raspy voice.
Yeah I 100% agree. Her singing is extremely healthy and she is extra careful whenever she does anything to add grit. She's an absolute elite singer.
I can support HER being a new age female Prince. She definitely plays many instruments and her artistry is out of this world! The sweetness and purity of her voice drives me wild!
P.s. I subscribed!!!
Yeah, my wife and I heard H.E.R. for the first time while watching SNL and we both were like, "huh... I am getting prince vibes...". Her voice is really pretty. She's also an absolutely fierce musician.
Thanks for the sub!
The Prince statement is very relevant. Multitalented in so many genres….. wonderful review/reaction!
No, Prince vibes for H.E.R. is absolutely correct! She said he was a HUGE influence. She was selected to perform in a tribute concert for him (last summer I think?). Really enjoyed this video! 👍🏽
I have to see that video. I saw H.E.R. on SNL and was so floored. Her guitar chops are REAL. It's always sad when the world loses an artist who had real cultural impact, but its beautiful to see that torch carried by such a capable and unique artist such as H.E.R.
I’m enjoying these videos. Can’t wait to see you go over Jazmine singing the Wiz in her school play @ 11. @ freaking 11!!!! I cry every time I watch it
Everytime! 😭😭😭
I just found your channel and so far I'm loving your content, you have excited me about my girl Jazmine Sullivan. She is a powerhouse and has always been and it's amazing seeing you experience what we hear daily in music. I appreciate you and it is a pleasure to watch you react to beautiful music. I got chills and emotional watching your reaction to our legend. Can't wait see more. 👌😉🙏❤
Thanks Stacey 😊 it's amazing to watch this stuff.
@@LesageSinging your reaction says it all and it's just wonderful to watch. Thank you
You should watch her first Lost Ones acoustic performance with all the plants, it’s so emotional! Great reaction as usual :)
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that.
I might have done that one already, but I'll check just in case.
When he said “oooooo...... ooooooo crispy” I fell out 😭😂😂😂😂
Best vocal education and reaction video I've seen so far, loved how u didn't stop the clip much during the last song then said sorry koz u were captivated lol, I felt the same way watching. You the man coach, way to break it down👌👌👌🤙👍
for lack of a better word, she manipulates her sound with her body, the" teethiness," neck stretch, the tilts, the posture, etc.. She's the instrument! ..lol... luv your analysis!
GOD BLESS
I love your reviews of Jazmine!!! H.E.R. is amazing too and I hope you do more R&B in the future. Leon Bridges”River” or any H.E.R. Song would be great!
R&b, jazz, opera, and metal are probably my favorites to do because I feel like I understand the technique more. There's actually a lot of similarity in technique across the four genres which is funny to me because their aesthetics are way different at times.
ARI LENNOX... LOOK HER UP!!!!!!!
Thanks for doing part 2. Love your reactions and how you break everything down. I also love that you have became a fan of jazmine. She will be doing the national anthem for the Super Bowl this year. I can’t wait!!
A man for the people💯
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that.
Given that I see myself as a hermit, this is funny to me, but thank you. I appreciate the compliment
Her voice sounds beautiful
She's amazing. That tone is incredible and how she uses her voice is super smart. Her runs are also super technical. She's most definitely a singers singer.
Glad you came back😘
Girl Like Me always makes me cry. They both did a phenomenal job. I’m so happy you enjoyed it as well. ✨
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that.
The performance was super moving. I really enjoy jazmine and HER together. I can't wait for the superbowl performance.
Yours was the best reaction thus far and I've seen a LOT!
That Prince reference to H.E.R. is accurate! She is extremely talented as well!
I love you!!! You’re detailed explanations are giving me LIFE! Thanks for appreciating such a EXQUISITE GIFT 🎁! She is so underestimated!
Thank you for breaking down the vocal fry because most ppl don’t understand how you MUST do it properly.
Yeah. It's a very tricky thing and can be used for many different kinds of effects. It can also be harmful if done poorly. I made a video about it, but didn't post it. I should probably post it after breakfast.
Jazmine is one of my favorite vocalist of all time. Her, Brandy and Whitney three of my faves!
You should react to Chloe x Halle moon river
I took 5 days off of work in a week to try and get through all of these requests and also have some time with my family. I'm super excited to see Chloe because it's by far the most requested.
Thank you just… thank you for this reaction 🙏
Correct me if I'm wrong...but it seems like when you think of rasp, you think of this very smokey, airy sound like Macy Gray. Then when you think of vocal fry, you think of grittiness and growls. That's a very by-the-book way to look at it, which I can respect to a certain degree. However if we're honest, Gospel, R&B, & Soul (the black genres) are a bit too unconventional to be sufficiently judged by those standards. In those genres, we define raspiness as smokey, husky tones or even clear tones with gritty textures. It's basically any tone that isn't crystal clear. The fact is the voice has layers. In some places it can sound huskier and darker, and in other places it can sound brighter and clearer. In some places it can be strong and in other places it can thin out. The more you follow Jazmine and really watch her sing, the more you'll be able to see that there are layers to her voice that can't be defined by a text book. What you call a vocal fry isn't that for Jazmine because it's natural. She's not purposely TRYING to sound gritty; it just is. Watch her more closely. Once she hits another layer of her voice...normally the higher she goes, the grittier it gets. And it's natural. If you pay close attention, even when she sounds clear, it isn't. There's this husky quality. I saw a comment saying that her falsettos are clear. False! SOME of her falsettos are clear. Check the tiny desk performance when sang "Girl Like Me" with H.E.R. At the end of the song when the full band came back in and they started vibing, Jazmine did this run in falsetto (in a long E vowel) and there were little breaks in it. They weren't cracks. It wasn't due to a lack of air. It was that raspy quality of her voice coming through. As I said yesterday, pay CLOSE attention to her vibrato. Sometimes there can be breaks in her vibrato due to her raspiness. I don't believe there are only two types of voices in this world, super rough damaged voices and crystal clear. I believe there are some naturally, interesting tones like Jasmine's that defy textbook teachings. Too much education can hinder you from really appreciating a rare beauty.
You and several others have been trying to communicate this sentiment, though this is certainly the most thorough among them. The tldr of everything to follow is: I don't think I understand the concept of rasp, but I'm extremely interested in it.
I'm trying to keep my ear open to these sorts of things while also keeping in mind the versatility the human voice has from the manipulation of its anatomy.
I don't know if I'll ever find a perfect balance of understanding, but I definitely enjoy trying to enrich my ear.
If I wasn't at work at the moment, I'd give a listen to the specific things you outlined this very minute. I'm very appreciative you took the time to explain all this thoughtfully. Thank you. You've clearly spent a tremendous amount of time thinking about this and are gracious in sharing your knowledge.
I do disagree on one potential idea and please correct me if I misunderstand you. The notion that the study of the human voice from a anatomic and, for lack of a better word, scientific point of view is somehow dispassionate is something I disagree with full stop. Folks from all walks of life throw themselves into the study of the human voice. People spend decades of their entire lives obsessing over every detail trying to measure and glean one more nugget of understanding. If I were here reciting a textbook, I'd agree that would be ludicrous. That's not what I'm trying to do though.
I'm no scientist (I can't afford the schooling). However, I try to understand the human voice, the physics of sound, and I regularly work with a voice and speech pathologist. Why? Because I think it's super cool and it allows me to do more with my voice. That's it. I'm not citing a book of rules to be right. I am not invested in being right. I think that would be disrespectful to the artists and the science. I'm invested in knowing more about singing and music until the day I die. I'm frankly glad there is no finish line.
I enjoy pursuing both very passionately and I think a combined approach is a very rich one. It's not for everyone, but it's the approach that has worked best for me.
I guess put succinctly, I'm trying to understand more. I most certainly do not claim to know all. I wouldn't treat any style or singer (yes even classical music) with that presumption because I think it'd be the epitome of pompousness.
Unfortunately, classical singers who precede me have created a rational expectation of pompousness with their elitist and disrespectful tact. I don't blame folks who assume I am super imposing academia arrogantly upon amazing art and artists.
I really do love your videos! They are very informative and I always feel like I learn something afterwards, so thank you for that 🙏🏾😊
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that.
This is the most rewarding comment i've gotten so far. Thank you. I try my best to educate.
I just love how you admire Jazmine Sullivan. I've been a fan of hers since she was 11 years old. I don't know if you ever seen her video at the Apollo Theater when she was 11 years old that voice was already very Advanced scary vest for a child I watched it over and over and over again. I knew she would be super famous one day and no one would be able to touch her technically vocal acrobatic and skills. She is everything. Let me know what you think of the video if you get a chance to watch it
Vocal production on this is crazy. Jazmine and her were goin off.
There is also a artist Named Mali Music He does the same thing but he sounds like that but naturally he is raspy or “Frying-ish”
I'll check it out. I want to see how people are using the word raspy because folks and I are talking past each other due to these different definitions of the same word.
It's a bit frustrating because there are certain things I know she is doing physically with her voice and I want to point those things out more clearly. People think I'm referring to her tone as a singer, but there are definitely effects I am trying to point out that people can learn to do.
@@LesageSinging I get what you mean but just check out Mali Music and Kim Burrell I just wanna get your outlook on what you mentioned like differents between Raspy and Frying
I know this review is done. But Jazmine (alone) on Jimmy Fallon!!! She sings "Girl like me" and it's *even better than this version!!* A MUST WATCH for vocalists and enthusiasts alike.
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that.
The fallon performance comes highly recommended and so I'll have to give it a look see :)
I feel like you’d enjoy and appreciate the musicianship in her HBO special “Our Story To Tell”.
I'm probably going to do a community watch of that in the Discord. HBO, from what I understand, is very aggressive with DMCA take downs.
Worst comes to worst, I can always enjoy it on my own 😃
@@LesageSinging I’ll keep a look out for that! I understand you would do it as a reaction but it’s something about isolating yourself and enjoying it the first time through alone. Either way, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! Cheers from Salt Lake City, Utah!🤙🏼
I've been REALLLYYYY enjoying and Appreciating your insight on your channel, but this one caused me to SUBSCRIBE TODAY!!
I love Jazmine but I like her live version of lost one better her tiny desk she made it a little fast but I still love it 😊.
You HAVE to watch her singing Home at 11... it’s honestly my favorite CZcams video of all time... I legit shed 3.5 tears....
I've been thinking about how I want to talk about that video for a few days straight now. I'm excited to get to it.
@@LesageSinging I look forward to it!
Oh and you’re right... Jaz said in a recent interview that they (her & H.E.R. lol) didn’t even rehearse 😄
@@deezkeith2282 that's what people don't understand about professional artists. They have to be so good because they don't really have time to practice due to your schedules, etc. You have to be that good.
They have maybe two hours of practice a day. The rest of the time they are just doing it.
Also Tony Braxton !!! She’s literally amazing . You should check out her live performance of unbreak my heart .
Heyy coming here about 4-6 Months after I watched the first time🥰
Definitely check out Brandy singing "Borderline."
I just came across your channel during part 1, and immediately subscribed. Love how much information you give especially to those of us who just know what sounds good, but not why or how. Check out Chloe and Halle tiny desk, its amazing as well.
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that.
Thank you for the encouraging comment. It really does help me keep going. You are appreciated!
Yeses jaz has fun on that stage...you can tell she lovesssss to sing
Yaaay! Thank you🥰
Thank you! I'm really humbled by how folks are sharing their favorite artists. I'm also inspired by these artists and am practicing more than I have in years.
@@LesageSinging Your breakdown helps us understand her voice in a way I never knew possible. Jazmine recently did a special on HBOmax called "OurStoriestoTell". I won't be surprised if you get tons of requests for that one. Please and thank you🥰
Check out "Loved by You" Mali and Jazmine Sullivan. It's going blow your mind. The texture of her voice is so rich.
Please react to Jazmine Sullivan singing Home from the wizard of oz at only 11 years old! It is amazing and will definitely show you how long she’s been doing this! A highly trained vocalist!
Oh you mentioned this haha!!
It's her secret weapon. People are trying to buy it. 🤣
She’s not frying . You just don’t have the experience in r&b vocals. It’s a gift!!!! Nobody competes with Jassmine . Her range is unique !!
I don't doubt that I am missing pieces of the puzzle. The last time I got really into r&b was when Brian McKnight released back at one. So, I definitely need to wise up to more R&B.
I'm glad folks are taking the time to point it out. Some even went so far as to make a long list of names to listen to and I am really happy to listen to them.
It's been years since I've been this inspired by listening to singing. I've been so steeped in academia and training myself, that I missed the point for years. Listening to these artists folks are telling me about is like coming awake from a fog.
You're right, not everything can be technically explained. Even physicists who do vocal modeling (check out pavarobotti if you are interested) don't get it 100% on the nose.
That said, a lot of very passionate and hard working people dedicate their lives to research. Like I said, it's not 100%, but I don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water. There is some utility in thinking about the physical moving parts of the voice. It's all a balancing act and I'm hoping to balance myself out.
@@LesageSinging I appreciate your comment . I grew up with an aunt who was a music and vocal teacher. It’s great that you are willing to explore r&b too. Btw, I’m an engineer so I get how technical we can be sometimes .😀
For sure. I feel like I'm that engineer who forgets we have to ship in 2 weeks while I "clean up the code" instead of actually building the functions core to the actual product lol
I code as a hobby. I hate video editing so much that I made some ffmpeg scripts in python.
But yeah. I think I've been starved of the art of singing. I started practicing again after listening to Jazmine. In the next few days I'm totally binging music. I have a vacation coming up and I just couldn't be happier.
These people are so good it's nuts.
@@LesageSinging code as a hobby . Lol . Music has always been a part of my life. I was a classical pianist due to my aunt being a music teacher. I use to tell her , playing classical music ribbed me of my creativity.lol. So I have an insight from the technical aspect too!! Enjoy your vacation !!!
I definitely, 100% appreciate the statement the classical can crush creativity. If you have any music up, I'd love to listen to it.
And lemme emphasize hobby. I have more hard code than hard code mchardcodepants. My code breaks more often than a ten year old SUV that's been lit on fire a few times.
Also. Thanks. I am going to love this vacation 😃😃😃😃😃😃
I would like to see your reaction to Chloe x Halle tiny desk concert.
I'm a bit late to this, but in case you havent seen it czcams.com/video/mDdBtA9lw_8/video.html
Thoroughly enjoyed your review!! It was very descriptive and entertaining because you can tell you are really a fan of great singing. I was wondering whenever you get a chance if you could react to Mariah Carey “if it’s over” live SNL. ❤️❤️
She was born to sing.
i would love to see you react to lalah hathaway
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that.
I'm going to go on a spree of recordings during a vacation I have at the end of the month. Hopefully I get to this!
Yes Lalah with Snarky Puppy!
DIVAS SIMPLY SINGING❤️❤️Lalah sang A Song For You. WATCH THAT👊🏿👊🏿She came out like the Princess of R&B
You got a subscriber!! Good work😡💪🏿
Thank you. I'm really enjoying getting to know more singers outside of opera. This is far from work for me.
Thank you for doing the second half! I really like your commentary. If you review different gospel Tasha Cobbs ft Kierra Sheard "Your Spirit" is great they are SANGING! Plus H.E.R's Tiny Desk is also good.
I will check it out and I can't wait!
This was great, but Jazmin performed “Girl like Me” by herself on Jimmy Fallon and it legit had me crying. You don’t have to review it, but you should really watch it.
YES🔥YES🔥YES🔥YES🔥
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that.
Many folks have recommended the fallon performance so I definitely plan to check it out.
New subscriber you’re really knowledgeable ☺️☺️☺️
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that.
I'm still learning, but I'm really happy to share what I know and to keep learning.
@@LesageSinging ok cool & thanks I’m starting to learn how technical singing is . I used to think it was as simple as opening your mouth and just letting sounds out 😂 but ppl train for years and its techniques involved . I definitely respect the craft even more than I did
Yes, Prince ...thats what I feel hearing her
Listen to her Performance of prodigal son. It is one of her best vocals
heya, i'm responding to this in a video dedicated to comments. stay tuned for that. I'll look out for prodigal son from her, but it may be a bit.
If you enjoyed her dynamic with H.E.R. you should checkout Jazmine and Niia singing Sideline live. Her ear is amazing.
1st time listening and I'M so GLAD you checked me at 23:28 😂😂 this is an educational video 😂❤❤ I loved it
You gotta new subbie 🚶🏽♀️
People who say her voice is raspy aren’t avid listeners of R&B.
I think the raspiness from a lot of singers are an inspiration of Aretha Franklin. Her voice got grittier over the years but still sounded great… until it was too far gone. RiP she was one of the greats. Also Gladys Knight
I really enjoyed your reactions to THE Jazmine Sullivan! The Queen shall reign
A "few" Recommendations if you will: Nao, Jorja Smith, SiR (anything but his tiny desk), Alina Baraz, Kali Uchis, Ella Mai, RAY BLK, SiR, Giveon, Ari Lennox(Static), & Toni Braxton if you really want to through it back lol
YASSSS 🙌💚💚
Yes vocal frys are intentional...and they hurt...they are fun to do but risky sounds sooo cool tho
React to Nia Ft. Jazmine Sullivan "Sideline"
That’s a powerful song!! Absolutely beautiful
Definitely!
Can you react to Snarky Puppy ft Lalah Hathaway. If you are a music nerd this will be music porn for you lol. She can sing chords using her voice all my herself. Its crazy and I've never seen or heard anyone do this and the live band its absolutely crazy. Thank me later 😁😁
H.E.R 'Make it rain' Black Girl Rock 2018!
Love your video's, please do Amber Riley/RILEY
Hey bro her video at 11 is amazing. I look foward to sesing seeing that.
I have it written to do it. Probably next week.
I know you’ve already dedicated quite a few videos to Jazmine (let’s face it though, she more than deserves it!!) but I really think you need to comment on her HBO set because that is a total masterclass and also highlights some of her old songs. What I really enjoy about your reviews is that you’re discovering Jazmine for the first time and it is so exciting for us to see that. I’ve loved her for 15 years and am so happy to see her receiving the degree of recognition that she deserves.
I am scared of HBO because they are very aggressive in copyright claims.
I'm working with a friend on my Discord to make it possible to live stream reacts there and take requests via watch2gether so that we can all chat while the I'm doing the reactions.
Though, I of course don't mind just listening to it because it's awesome.
Her voice is def Wraspy that’s 🔥🔥🔥I get my wraspyness from my mother and aunts my voice is like that too when i talk and sing period
would love for you to react to bilal oliver. along with jazmine, whitney, and jeff buckley, he's another i really look up to when it comes to vocal technique and having many "tools"
I LOVE Jeff Buckley. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jeff Buckley. For years I tried to sound like him. Unfortunately, my voice isn't set anywhere near as high as him, but I do a somewhat descent impression of his idioms.
❤❤❤
i definitely suggest you check out kyle dion. his vocals are insane
I love Jazmine man!!!! Can u react react to jhene Aiko live too.
