      She sounded weak where she should be strong (no conviction) which also doesn't reflect the overall mood of the song. Just my personal take on this.

      You didnt listen to what she said, did you? She's not complaining about the voice but on the production value of the performance. Who ever mixed it in the editing of this show dialed down her powerful vocals. I can understand what she's trying to say.

    Some other Amber songs from Glee that would great to react to would be the following:

    - Try A Little Tenderness
    I watch them consistently! Great demonstration of her voice that weren’t Pop/Hip Hop.

  • @dignature123
    @dignature123 2 года назад +36

    I thought the same. We know she CAN sing the song but I thought it was very subdued of her. I didn’t think she was sick, I would say the composers(whoever in charge) probably told her when and where she’s allowed to deviate. My guess anyway..

  • @beethovensgirl05
    @beethovensgirl05 2 года назад +56

    I'm not a Glee fan, but even before you made the comment that she sounded muted I thought the same thing. She's holding back, but the question is was she sick, as you mentioned, was it the composer, both? The whole song I feel like she could have been a powerhouse but was holding back for her range.

    • @trevonte3723
      @trevonte3723 2 года назад +19

      personally I feel like it was the composer and the arrangement. she’s hitting all of the high notes at the end perfectly fine so I don’t think she was sick she was probably just told to pull back a little which is a shame.

    Gotta say I was really annoyed with the lyric mistake (no, not the part that's modified for a solo version). They should've asked her to do another take, it wasn't a live performance. That's more a problem with the production here, not her. Singers make mistakes, but in a recorded performance, production should catch and fix that.

    I think the mix was kinda....unbalanced, but I think it was more that she was making the stylistic choice for it to be soft and airy to start so she could build. Possibly, as you said, because she had a cold and had to save her voice for the end.

  • @aaronnewman7573
    @aaronnewman7573 2 года назад +1

    amber is not mercedes. that's where the disconnect is. yes mercedes would've brought it quicker, but amber likes to build more to keep us on the edge of our seats. she does so often especially after glee. it is not unlike her to use that airier texture. she's honestly not nearly as much of a powerhouse as mercedes is, especially in her recorded music. we must be careful not to trap black actors in a box after they reach success in a specific role.
    also, yes i believe she did have a cold. and i agree with the mixing

      You are right that not everyone is cut out for every song, but I do not believe that Amber is wrong for this song. She sounds different than normal in the beginning, but by the end it really starts to get into her cords. She has a Broadway belty voice with amazing range and this is the song to show it. I would say that this performance isn't amazing but it isn't the song or the singer, just a mix of Amber being a little off her game and obviously production issues with mixing with the orchestra.

    Miss Audrey - I agree, the mix is way off. Also, this isn't a Glee performance, this is from a PBS special, which often screws up the mixing.

  • @DeeL3
    @DeeL3 2 года назад

    Well I will say that Amber purposely sings differently from the character Mercedes Jones, so that could also contribute to why she sound different to what people are used to hearing on her glee days. Amber has talked about how she was constantly put in a box and made to sing a certain way while on Glee and it frustrated her.
    Personally, I'm not a fan of this performance. Defying Gravity is just one of those songs that is better when it is performed with the full orchestra and background characters. You need EVERYTHING for this song to work perfectly.

    I saw you did a watch party for it a long time ago , but I didn’t see if you did any of the songs. But I would love you to do “this is me “ from the greatest showman
