That shit is ridiculous. I've listened to hours of hours of live audio from Tori and she's not even once been anywhere close to off tune. Exceptional vocals every fucking time. I've concluded that she can't be human at this point. She's literally beyond this world
xytheon I know.. its sick. I've listened to her since she was a kid and I have freakin NEVER disliked anything she has come up with. She is an alien.. agree. Not human..
I am pretty sure that she is lip syncing to pre recorded vocals. No hate here its just too perfect to not be done in the studio and touched up. btw she is one of the best singers I have ever heard
What classixdrummer said. This arrangement was all about subtlety and letting her vocal shine. The keys player is absolutely holding it down. Those bass lines with the left hand? Check out 2:56 - 3:18 again. It's about those subtle little motifs they sneak in there. This wasn't meant to be a Snarky Puppy jazzed out over the top instrumental version. Nothing wrong with that but it has it's place and this song (especially with Tori on it) wasn't the right place for that kinda thing. Their job was to hold done the groove, which they did a superb job of.
Every single note she hits in this song is amazing. The way each note is sung is so carefully touched, so well placed. It makes me feel every single emotion that the lyrics try to pass. Yet, she makes it seem so effortless, like it's second nature to her being. It's like she inhales air and expels musical notes, filled with feelings and emotions and past experiences. And, somehow, she still IMPROVISES every. single. time she sings the same song. I seriously can't handle this women's talent right now. I'm sorry, I'm just too proud of the fact that I am a Tori Kelly fan x)
You nailed it. It is effortless for her. She sings with crazy elasticity, control, and soul. This is what true talent looks & sounds like. It's eargasmic! ;)
When it's for a vocalist with such talent, it makes sense to keep the instrumentals minimal to keep the focus on her performance... but it really works. She's one of the most efforlessly capable singers I've ever seen 😲
I sometimes get annoyed when artists are constantly doing runs. It somehow feels self-indulgent and just like..for the sake of doing runs. With Tori though, they add SO MUCH to the texture and emotion without taking away from the lyrical context. Her runs are a PART of her expression (and they're just ridiculously good), it's incredible. Most underrated singer out there!!
I agree too many runs and riffs can be overwhelming on a song and end up hurting the song Christina Aguilera use to have that problem but she doesn’t anymore Beyoncé use to also do the same thing but when an artist knows where to apply it it’s like magic
The problem I have now is that I keep holding other vocalists to this standard, and it kind of ruins my ability to appreciate other singers. Tori's voice is incredible.
@@garucho5819 How can you put So Hyang and Demi in the same league. So hyang has a perfect technique, she support up to BB5, Demi hasn't a good technique at all, she has talent for sure but she strains a lot, hasn't a neutral larynx on his belting range, push a lot of notes and can only support consistently up to C5. I agree for So Hyang but Demi not at all.
K Gamer Technique isn't what makes the artist. Artistry is what makes the artist, it's literally in the name. I'd say the only one close off of that list is Jessie, she can really put a lot behind her voice without making it bland. Definitely not taking away from the other singers, but Tori is just a supreme artist. They may be fantastic singers, but not quite fantastic artists.
Tell me how Meghan won that grammy?! I mean Tori deserves a grammy from this cover itself! This is just ridiculously good and shows how talented Tori really is! Nothing against Meghan but Tori's voice/lyrics are ten times better than hers
This might be the single best vocal performance I've ever heard in my life. Her mastery of her instrument and soul just cuts right through ya. Just astonishing.
YESSSS TORI. Now if the rest of your album can have THIS vibe right here, then your future's golden babe. Less of the pop type stuff, and more of this soulful stuff.
***** I agree with you as well, pop music is always going to sell more than any other genre in this generation. But there's no denying soul music is what Tori is passionate about. I mean she didn't learn how to sing with runs and riffs listening to bubblegum pop 😜
You are right. Soul and R&B is Tori's lane...same for JoJo. I know they want the popular appeal, but if they shine in their natural element, they're gonna get the appeal regardless.
SERIOUSLY??? WHERE AM I THIS WHOLE TIME? THIS GIRL IS AMAZING!!! GIVE HER THE CREDIT SHE DESERVES!!! WAAAAY BETTER THAN SOME PIECES OF SHIT WE HAVE TO LISTEN EVERYDAY EVERYWHERE!!! SORRY FOR THE CAPSLOCK BUT I AM TOO EXCITED!!! :D
Bruno Freitas she dosnt need all those pointless awards her voice and talent is all she needs. she is a diamon and i hope the greedy music industry leaves her the hell alone
She has that indescribable IT factor. Her voice is unbelievable! Again I ask, why is she so slept on as a vocalist? She is the best out there right now IMO.
+billiam braskey haha i know they should be there like mouths wide open staring dumbfounded, or maybe it was the plan to add effect to the performance......
Music flows through her and so she knows when to do and what to do...such a creative FORCE!! Belting can be learned and improved eventually...but this is beyond technique it's a GIFT! Thanks Tori for showing the world your gift for us to relish. Not one note off or oversung, A Master!! Such taste and that angelic tone. When it comes to agility no one beats her I repeat NO ONE!!
It's one thing to do runs and totally another to do them effortlessly, accurately, in tempo of the song at the right time and each time going just a lil different to give the feel...she's the BEST of this Generation when it comes to this.
So glad she didn't sing this on American Idol! Otherwise she would've won & she wouldn't be where she is now lol. Absolutely amazing & totally perfect :-)
4/5 times I listen to the bridge I can't contain my tears. Absolutely incredible, as someone said, every single note is perfectly executed, this is pure vocal mastery.
Tori has some serious vocal talent. Every time I listen to her I get chills down my spine from just how powerfully awesome her voice is. I can't wait to see what vocal magic she'll deliver next!
I still get chills and the hairs stand up on the back of my neck every time I listen to this. Her vocal capability is absolutely out of this world and so tasteful, especially in the context of the lyrics and the pocket the band is in.
I’ve enter this video like a thousand times, and everytime i try to double like it 😂. Unbelievable version, perfect vocals totally on point and somehow she improvise in a way to make it always different, im out of words 😅 she is already a singer legend
OMG you're the queen, my queen, our queen Tori.. your riffs, pitch, tone, face, eyes, smile, dimples are so damn beautiful, smooth, charming, wonderful.. I can go on forever. The music industry needs more of you. Make it big but stay you. #TeamTori ps. Please come to the Philippines
Who else comes back to this every so often? Vocally crazy.
Back again!
iRb back again haha
Trent, back again !
iRb im always here
Have to start my new year right!

No doubt!!

I just want to take this time to apologise to the replay button
😂
same lmao
Brandi Jones here have mine 0:00
Brandi Jones hahahaha 😂
Me too lol
Lets talk about that band too.
John Tucker - The break at 1:34, sometimes it is all about the silence, flawless.
I honestly find them boring and soulless compared to Tori. Not a single smile, not a single lick anywhere.
jeagerpoelse - Every painting needs a frame, some are fancy, some are most effective in their elegant simplicity.

It’s feels natural when she does it
Don’t listen then, problem solved

I agree, as I'm the same as you.
One of the best covers I've ever heard.
agree
would be, if not for overdoing some of it. It's like she still auditioning for america got talent or whatever BS show
@@fetB maybe she enjoys playing it up??
@@fetB then why are you here.
@@bmediahq2726 right, because you know a cover is good before you actually heard it. Yikes
Damnnnn Tori back at it again with the best voice ever.
The accuracy.
I still return to watch this. It is my all time favorite performance of Tori's. Her vocal acrobatics are worthy of a gold medal!
Love how effortless she sounds moving between falsetto and head voice. KEEP GOING TORI
Yes her transitions are flawless!
Very Mariah-esque
I can never forget about this rendition. It's pure perfection. I come back to it every so often. Musical genius!
Hey Tori, those singing lessons you took from MIRANDA SINGS really paid off!!!!!!!!!!
sc1212able hahahaha DAY MADE
sc1212able Miranda is the best singer!
OMFG 💗
hahahaha
sc1212able oh my god I'm dying
The problem I have now is that I keep holding other vocalists to this standard, and it kind of ruins my ability to appreciate other singers. Tori's voice is incredible.
So Hyang, Demi, Jessie, Son Seungyeon,Morisette Amon
K Gamer not even close
@@matthewhovda5989 Buy new ears

+Morva Motavali seriouslyy its crazy!!!!
+Morva Motavali hell yeah!!!!
+Morva Motavali Tell it sis!
its a popularity thing
Tori is among the most talented people in the world BUT the musicians here are criminally underrated, the keyboard player is a BEAST, damnnnn
Nothing makes the keyboardist stand out from his bandmates, all good musicians.
this video is criminally underrated
This might be the single best vocal performance I've ever heard in my life. Her mastery of her instrument and soul just cuts right through ya. Just astonishing.
God given pipes right there. Wow. or should I say crazy.
"GOD GIVEN PIPES" right here yeah it is a WOW!!!! And it DAMN!!! Crazy
Yes lawd have mercy
Ugh! That vocal run at 4:07 is flawless. My favourite part out of all the amazing moments Tori brings to this cover.
moonflower843 mines too! People don’t realize how hard that is!!
4:05
8 years ago and I'm still not over it!!
Me too
3:15 - 3:25 what a gorgeous voice. The 'crazy' makes me fall from a cliff.
I don't even know how someone can sing that perfectly. She' so incredible.
I always come to watch this who else does too?
Me!!! The replay button hates me! I love her version of this song.
GOSH ME

At least twice a month haha

True she is a Golden Star and her Future is Extremely Bright all the way and the Soulful and Stuff Pop/Rock/R&B/R&B Soul this is her Category
You are right. Soul and R&B is Tori's lane...same for JoJo. I know they want the popular appeal, but if they shine in their natural element, they're gonna get the appeal regardless.
One of the the greatest covers of ALL time!
That wasn't crazy, it was INSANE!!!!!!!! Tori Kelly rocks!!!

Best cover I've heard in my life.
how come i've only discovered her now crazy talented.
She is the best singer I have ever heard, and I'm serious too
EQ-smoove it’s there opinion 👏🏽
yessss she's the best , actually mariah is fuck LOL no hate
you haven't heard Mariah or Whitney?
Tori has more talent than Mariah who is long over due for retirement. NO ONE will ever match Whitney's clear tone, pitch and clarity. She soared.
bob smith no, mariah can do all the thing that whitney can and beyond that. Plus Mariah write her own song, something that whitney can't do
She always looks like she is having fun and really feeling the words when she is singing :-D
She has that indescribable IT factor. Her voice is unbelievable! Again I ask, why is she so slept on as a vocalist? She is the best out there right now IMO.
Facts
Pure facts
You need to do duet with seal!!!!!! Absolutely beautiful ❤
7 years later and I still come back to listen
she was robbed of her well-deserved grammy!!! >:(
she's also kinda new
David Mastro she's been singing for over ten years
David Mastro the category was “Best Debut Artist” it’s for new people lmao
THEY KNOW THEY LIEING, LOOK IT THE MILLIONS, SHE'S A WINNER.
She has 2 now!!!
VICTORIA STOP THIS WEAVE IS EXPENSIVE

😂 lmao best comment by far.
I relate haha
SO RELATABLE, she snatched my weave
EXPENSIVE BY TORI KELLY
Still coming back in 2024!!!🎉🎉🎉
3:35 YES!!!
shes not a human, shes an fallen angel, theres no explanation, her voice is taking me to heaven
damn. One complete take of perfection of them all..❤
I love how she makes every song her own. She's a true musical genius. flawless. best cover of this song that I've heard yet. Bar none.
She's so into it
It’s been 6 years, and ever once in a while, i come back to this, crazy good performance
so obsessed with this cover it’s insaneee
4:29 the hair fluff 😍 mah girl

This video with earbuds is SO insane my goodness she is otherworldly
My heart is racing! Tori's tone is amazing, her runs- my goodness! That band too!!
Have to keeping coming back to this vocal masterpiece Spotify needs this ugh
Yeah it's such a shame that her live takes are not up on Spotify... She sounds so much better live it's not even funny.
STOP SLEEPING ON HER THIS DESERVES MORE VIEWS SHE IS INSANE
Agree 100%!!!
Unbelievable, this woman has a voice from another Galaxy, i have never Heard such a cover, how Can she be so perfect.❤️
People all walking by in the background not even realizing they just walked past a VOCAL GODDESS............smh
like hello
+billiam braskey haha i know they should be there like mouths wide open staring dumbfounded, or maybe it was the plan to add effect to the performance......
Ikr
I was so amazed by her vocals I didn't notice anyone in the background.
Lol i doubt they can hear her through a sound proof wall, but i'd still stop to look at her and admire her beauty
I could listen to 3:55 for years on end
cant get enough of this cover
Who’s here in 2020?? Happy quarantine!
🖐🏾👊🏾
I thought I was the only one 😂
👌👌👌👊👊👊
here in 2021 still
I'm late in 2024. Just discovered her and am blown away❤
melodious tone+crystal clear voice+crazy agility+effortless vibrato+resonance+epic whistle register+good lower register+awesome upper belts+the beautiful soulful rasp+emotions+powerful voice+masterful control=tori(why do i get reminded of mariah lol!)
Idols SA Zama Khumalo brought me here after her beautiful performance. Every note was captured amazingly well and I love this song now because of her.
I am crying omg. She's ... I don't have words..
Music flows through her and so she knows when to do and what to do...such a creative FORCE!!
Belting can be learned and improved eventually...but this is beyond technique it's a GIFT!
Thanks Tori for showing the world your gift for us to relish.
Not one note off or oversung,
A Master!! Such taste and that angelic tone.
When it comes to agility no one beats her I repeat
NO ONE!!
This is so insane. When i tell people about Tori, I tell them to watch this cover because it's so mind-blowing. Tori Kelly, you are incredible
What words for that ? Outstanding !!!
What the heck! just how? How is she that good!? loooove her!
It's one thing to do runs and totally another to do them effortlessly, accurately, in tempo of the song at the right time and each time going just a lil different to give the feel...she's the BEST of this Generation when it comes to this.
So glad she didn't sing this on American Idol! Otherwise she would've won & she wouldn't be where she is now lol. Absolutely amazing & totally perfect :-)
Find me somebody with more control over their voice than Tori Kelly...can’t do it? That’s because that person doesn’t exist. This was stellar.
I think Yebba is close she also has so much soul. You should check her music out 👍🏽
@@lanasemprit1475 Yebba is good but doesn’t compare to tori Kelly
@@2fineee True Yebba's amazing but her runs kinda end off sometimes
She’s awesome ... pitch perfect ... have a look at Sledgehammer by Morgan James ... I think you will like it .
Since I'm already speechless about Tori in this video can we still talk about that BAND THOUGH
She is such an inspiration.. I could watch this a 100 times and still be in awe!

Lmao oh dear
Good singing makes me sweat every time!!! Glad I'm not the only one!!!!!
***** same! lol
this is my new favorite song. this right here
4 years running..... Still here listening to this.
This shit is pure 🔥!! I can't stop listening to this
I wasn’t watching Idol at the time she was on it. What happened? A bad day? I can’t imagine her being so “overlooked”. She’s so incredible!
I had to remind myself to breathe i mean DAMN TORI!
Can't believe I've been missing out for 9 years! 😢
Tori has some serious vocal talent. Every time I listen to her I get chills down my spine from just how powerfully awesome her voice is. I can't wait to see what vocal magic she'll deliver next!
I've watched this this 50 times. Literally 😍❤️🙌🏾😘🙏🏾
her voice is usually so light and delicate. i really didn't expect her to have that much grit in her voice when belting... very nice
Everytime she opens her mouth to sing it leaves me speechless!! Absolutely beautiful!!
she's pitch perfect. she's got perfect pitch. FAVORITE
i wish she played in the new pitch perfect 3 when it comes out
one of my alltime ever tracks and performances with one of the best vocal delivery EVER!
I still get chills and the hairs stand up on the back of my neck every time I listen to this. Her vocal capability is absolutely out of this world and so tasteful, especially in the context of the lyrics and the pocket the band is in.

There we go :)
Holy cow, what a cover!!!! 🎉
