      Why should people take lessons from someone who can't recognize raw, unhindered emotion? Why should they take lessons from a vocal coach critiquing female **rappers** stating how very well the coach herself could be up onstage instead of them? (We know that was so you could boost views and chase clout btw). I used to learn from your videos and what I thought to be, at the time, wise words...but miss ma'am you've got to get that ego and resentment in check...

      Agreed. And what’s sad is this is the actual performance I wanted Tara to do for a long time.. I was very excited to see and... she missed what’s happening. It’s one of the most touching things I’ve ever seen on tv. This is one of those times that all of the stuff you teach on your channel goes completely out the window- you can see her emotions. The stop was was 1000% not a mistake she breaks down every time she does this song live- did it in Nashville at a concert I went and saw. Still love you Tara!!!!

    • @Rosannasfriend

      @maddiepenland171 5 лет назад +52

      Rosannasfriend I agree that the goal of the channel is about technique, but I think one thing she missed, was the reason behind the technique mistake. I would’ve liked her to recognize the reason for me mistakes being maybe because of the emotion, not due to talent.

    • @Husitka
      @Husitka 5 лет назад +19

      @@maddiepenland171: Tara never implied that the mistake happened because Kelly lacked talent. It's only your interpretation of what Tara was saying. She even admitted towards the end that the mistake might have been just Kelly getting overwhelmed by emotions, but if you go back and listen to that part again carefully, it actually does sound like she started too early and the pianist restarted that part so that she could restart it as well, so it very well might have been a combination of a small mistake and emotions.
      Tbh, I don't understand why so many people got riled up because of this reaction. This is what Tara does. She always analyzes the technique, the pitch etc., but in doing so, she never gets disrespectful towards the artist even when they make a mistake. And she didn't get disrespectful towards Kelly, either. She even talked about how it can be dangerous to expect a good singer to be perfect all the time, how much pressure it creates and how it can actually hurt the singer in the long run. She also talked about how pregnancy affects a singer. It's like all the upset people chose to ignore that part altogether.

    • @sushieatermeli7440
      @sushieatermeli7440 5 лет назад +19

      It’s quite clear that Tara didn’t know that this song was about Kelly’s personal life. At first she thought Kelly had made a mistake because she didn’t realize that she was starting to tear up, but once it was clear to her that Kelly was emotional, Tara realized it was not a mistake. She did correct herself. Also, Tara is a vocal coach. If she hears a flat note, let there be no doubt in mind, she will be pointing it out!

      Yeah I think the band (which is mainly just the pianist) on the stage just reacted very quickly to her emotions and restarted the second chorus. Which is one of the reasons why having a human pianist on live stage is better than putting on soundtrack.

    • @Rosannasfriend
      @Rosannasfriend 5 лет назад +6

      Dear lawd, I was thinking the exact same thing. Kelly can sing, plain and simple. She's got a very powerful soulful voice. This song is so personal to her, and that she/Jason (her pianist) decided to do an acoustic version of it stripped down like this gave it even more emotion and power. Kelly killed it...period. I loved seeing/hearing her vulnerability in this performance. Should be no critiquing of her singing skills at all IMO. I couldn't even finish watching the video after the first critique. Just watch the video and enjoy.

  • @sass_masterismyname2581

    I think you completely missed what made this performance so beautiful and moving. This was HER story, sung for her daughter, while on the cusp of giving birth to her son. It may not have been technically perfect, but it was one of the most beautiful performances she’s ever given. Every person in the room felt that song to their core, and that’s what makes it great. Because at the end of the day, she moved us. And THAT’S what music is all about.

      Hey Tara, you are my favorite RUclips channel for vocal breakdowns of artists. This one however was off for me. And I definitely don’t think it’s your fault. This particular version of this song kelly admitted that even in rehearsal she couldn’t get very far due to emotion. This performance I don’t think warranted a vocal breakdown similar to other songs. What I mean by this is that due to the nature of this version, I think it would be better to listen to the performance and absorb it and then come back and talk about her stylistic choices and then the nitty gritty technical aspects. That way you could better relate what happened in her performance with her actual choices and what was a result of emotional singing.
      This performance makes me tear up every time but because you kept pausing it and talking about things, and then talking OVER one very emotional part of the song, it did ruin it for me. I did seem like you backtracked because you saw Keith urban balling, but honestly, everyone balled, if not they were silent because the version was so powerful.
      I think that moving forward maybe go back and re edit your stuff because maybe by the end you realized your reaction should’ve been done differently.
      Or have someone screen performances and let you know the gist because I don’t think this was fair to you because I think you are going to see way more mixed feedback or even negative feedback because 1, kelly Clarkson is massively well liked, and 2, people will always defend the intense and genuine emotion she felt.
      I don’t know much about vocal technique and pitch, but I did know that vocally that wasn’t her best performance, but it was so impactful I didn’t even bat and eye at it.
      So I think you doing a reaction to this particular performance probably should’ve been different since this performance is so difference from the usual vocal powerhouse performances we are used to seeing on your channel.
      Keep up the videos tho! I love learning about everything you teach and breakdown for us.

It amazing Kelly show up nine-months pregnant but it was the FINAL AL show (so we thought). Kelly could have missed every single note and no one person would have held it against her. She's true, genuine and REAL and that's why everyone LOVES her - not a single thing that's fake and she rules vocally leaving everyone in a puddle of tears.

  • @MrDPower16
    @MrDPower16 5 лет назад +23

    Kelly Clarkson is without a doubt one of the most talented and safest pop vocalists of our time and to not consider her being super pregnant and emotional because it's HER song and HER story is pretty weird to watch. Of course she'd hit those notes now, even live! Also she took a lot of time off before that performance to take care of her family and to raise her kids so she didn't perform frequently and probably hasn't had a lot of vocal training. You can clearly hear her voice improving and losing raspiness in the songs and performances that followed after this so her being not pregnant got her voice a lot of power back.
    A little more compassion would have helped to make this reaction more bearable, it clearly isn't a performance to show off how great of a vocalist she is but mainly shows what an amazing, emotional and strong woman she is.

    • @emolyemu89

    So Kelly wrote this song about how her dad abandoned her at a young age, about her daughter, and about how her husband is stepping up to be a better dad to their children unlike Kelly's deadbeat dad. And then on top of all that she was pregnant with Remington here (her 2nd child) so she was going through crazy hormonal swings. That's why there's a lot of inconsistencies or flaws in this performance, it's a very personal song for her. Kelly was on the verge of tears.
    And I feel like Tara didn't acknowledge or address these things enough. She focused too much on all the technical elements of delivering a good vocal performance that she missed the whole message of the song.

  • @haroldearp4503

    Kelly Clarkson is singing from pure emotion about her own biological father who abandoned her and she is nine months pregnant at this time as well. Everything you said was right however I didn’t hear you compliment the on the emotion she was conveying and at times that is more important than pitch, diction or throat openness in “a moment”. As singers it’s our job to tell a story and make people feel. We convey our emotions through song and verse. In that she was amazing.

    "I'm 33 years old, I'm a grown woman," she said. "But it's more of that thing where you can try your hardest to salvage relationships - and I did - but at the end of the day, if you keep getting hurt by someone because they just don't know how to properly love people, it's just not worth it.

She's not saying that she is a lackluster performer or anything like that, but these are critique videos, where she will critique the technical aspects of singing because that's the point of these videos.One more thing: Tara doesn't look into the history of the videos or artists beforehand to minimize the potential for a biased reaction or critique.

Ive been reading thru these looking for a comment from Tara which would go a long way for me but haven't found one yet.

    She holding back serious tears based on what this song is to her. She’s a phenomenal artist. And vocalist. It wasn’t a mistake.

    Tara, I really like you and your comments most of the time but I feel you really missed the mark here! You are so intent on analyzing her technical performance you completely missed what was really going on with her. You weren't connecting the lyrics to her emotional state and even said "I think she made a mistake there.." when she was in OBVIOUS emotional turmoil. As I'm sure you know (most of the time) half of what makes an emotional song great is the EMOTION you bring to it. Disappointed in you.

    👋SHE WAS 9 MONTHS PREGNANT!! Plus she was SUPER EMOTIONAL Since it is a song about her father leaving the family and wanting to come back after she became famous. Yet she found a GOOD man who is SO DIFFERENT from her father!!💥

      Cecy Z Yes. Tara realized this near the end when she saw her holding back tears. If you would’ve seen the rest of the video you would’ve known that Tara did correct herself and realize all these things she didn’t know about Kelly.

    Really? It took you over 6 minutes in to realize she’s emotional? You missed it bad on this video, sorry!

    That wasn’t a mistake. She started crying that that’s why her voice started to crack at the end!

    I normally love your reviews but this was terrible. Ive been singing for over 30 years and this song was obviously emotional. You reacted to it like a robot and completely missed the context and backstory. Surely you know as a vocal coach no sing is ever sung without a context? Some of the 'pitch' issues you said weren't, it was overly critical. A really poor review.

    She is very pregnant here I think 8 months and this song is actually about her life. So it very emotional for her to sing this song

    Id love to see you give your VOICE MORE SPACE when your 9 months pregnant and singing about your father who abandoned you when you were a little girl... NOT the right version to critique!!!

    I absolutely enjoyed this performance of Kelly's. It was full of pure emotion and I related to the song. When she's not super emotional while performing, she can hit those notes and her vocals are beautiful.
