I honestly think Kirstin has been the one to improve the most in Pentatonix. If you hear her on the Sing Off in 2011, she sings with a lot of tension but has gotten better and better
Totally agree. She stands toe-to-toe with the fellas, if not leading the pack, on every track nowadays.
It's really interesting that you mention that thing about Kirstie's mouth because I've noticed she's been doing way more better nowadays with her jaw and vowels. She worked with a vocal coach in 2017 for her solo project and mentioned working on her jaw tension, and I've seen her making progress on vowels throughout the PTX Summer Tour. It's really nice when singers take their time to look at their mistakes and learn from them. And nice reaction! I've been enjoying your channel a lot :)
I've noticed this too. She learned some stuff on Broadway. Given the scar on her face and her side-mouth singing in the early days, I've always wondered if she has cleft palate issues...But her recent singing would suggest not.
Some singers actually do the jaw and purpose. If you work it right and relax you won’t get tension when you sing. Like I noticed when sia sings sometimes she won’t keep her mouth round but other times she will. I find this really interesting and others opinions on it
Bonnie From Freddy's pizza I don't know Sia very well, but I do know that's a hard habits for Kirstie to drop. I often see her starting to cover her bottom teeth like she used to before, and then correcting herself on the spot! Hopefully she can fully drop that habit in some months or so
Pamela Bravo yea I noticed to and she has gotten way better with the habits. She is a fantastic singer and person so I have no doubt she worked harder on improving techniques since this video:)
Margaret Kime considering Kirstin has said if she wasn’t a singer she’d want to be a speech therapist and that one of her charities is Operation Smile, it’s not an unreasonable hypothesis.
Voctave is a phenomenal acapella group. In this one, the two sopranos in particular were just killing it! Disney's really missing the boat if they don't have Kirstin voice a "Disney princess" in some future feature.
Yes, Kate Lott. "the lady in the black shirt" that Tara mentions.
There's actually a video of Kirstin and Jeremy in rehearsal with Voctave and they're losing it because of how good they are :D Voctave are so good. If you do more of them, I suggest This Is My Wish/Let There be Peace On earth!
thisthisthisthis! +1
PTX Videos where’s the video??
DC4 _ look up this song name with behind the scenes in it
Here it is! ruclips.net/video/BtBqIex4lyA/видео.html
I love this video so much
I love that video, the song is so beautiful!
Can we talk about those backup sopranos. It is SO challenging hitting high notes and making them sound light and floaty. So impressed by their ability to whip them out of nowhere. Requires so much breath support. Clapping inside every time they do those notes. So effortless and beautiful.
Kirstin is the female singer of Pentatonix...I think she has improved her technique from this Disney cover.
I love your channel, I appreciate a lot the passion you put in the videos.
I follow u from Italy🇮🇹🇮🇹
Michele Bungaro thanks so much! Italy is on my bucket list of top places I want to visit. 😊
@@Tarasimonstudios I'm sure you' ll like it so much.
Listen to her now on amazing grace,now i know why she got the lip injections............sry kirstie.
I am a big fan of Pentatonix, and while some Pentaholics might be a little upset because of your critique, I am absolutely not. After I've watched your other reaction videos, I've watched this medley again, and the exact reason why I recommended this video for you to react to, was because even I (without much knowledge of vocals and music) was starting to notice a few things that you might have to say something about. So this was very interesting and, as always, full of knowledge, constructive critisism as much as appreciation for the artists. So thank you very much!
onmywayagain_ you’re the sweetest! Sometimes it’s hard for me to critique amazing artists because they’re so great..but we are all on a journey and no one - even the greats- have arrived. So thank you for viewing it as constructive criticism...I’m a big fan as well!
I love her videos but she's nitpicking a lot here.
How is it nitpicking to mention what is going well and what can be improved upon? That's the whole point of having an expert react to a video.
When Tara demonstrates the difference between what a singer did and what they could have done, you can hear for yourself what she's saying which is nice. Sometimes vocal coaches provide constructive feedback but without the demo, which makes it hard for the untrained to understand the technique.
Nearly all of her feedback is designed to make singing easier and more efficient for the singer. This will ensure that our favorite singers can enjoy a long and productive career.
Her reaction to Jeremy’s riff. SAME
The amount of energy in their medley is so uplifting, I smiled basically the whole entirety of the song! Amazing review as well, professional feedback that was reasonable!
Please do Lost On You covered by Scott Hoying (from Pentatonix) & Mario Jose
Loru123 Yes please!! It’s my favorite
Yesss! This! Omg 😱
Yes Yes Yes !!!
If you have not heard Julia Westlin's version, check it out.
Oh yes! That gives me chills everytime!
"Rob his mouth and stick it on me."
Hahahahaha stop it lololololol
@@LXVEMEHXRDER loool just kidding bruu
🤣
HAHAHAHAHA
10:50
"If I could just rob his mouth and just stick it on me"
~TaraSimon2018
I'm a "beginner" on your channel. It's amazing to hear your comments. Also, It was very nice to see you suffering the "Jeremy effect" haha, smiling when he sings. 😍
Voctave always gives me chills! I agree with Tara - they're always killin' it!
I think I have watched your video more than any other related to Voctave. Your comments are so educational and give the individuals the precise information needed to improve. As a former indoor percussion instructor, it is amazing to see coaches who don't just find faults but give comments on how to improve. This is by far my new favorite channel. Thanks for taking the time to do these!
Could you critique Run to You by Pentatonx? It’s one of my favorites!
A dissonance buffet.
Yes! And if she looks for it, theresa really beautiful live version of it
I have only two complaints about Run To You. It's way too early in their career. The group is so much better now. This is Kevin's first real chance to sing with PTX instead of just beatboxing and he's buried way down in the mix. It's a really beautiful part and you can just barely hear him. Can't Help Falling In Love is a much better showcase of Pentatonix singing in five part harmony. The singing is a lot better and Kevin and Ben Bram's arrangement is exquisite. (Yes, Kevin arranged it then Ben polished it up.)
Ohhh YES please!!!
*critique* I think it's the wrong word. I guess you meant *praise*
I'd comment the Jeremy's impressive long last note. He is singing nonstop for almost 25 seconds (from 11:24 to 11:47). Awesome.
Taku Korosa at 11:33 he stops singing and continues again around 11:34/11:35
I thought that at the start too... but he doesn't.
I really love the way you explain things relating to technique and vocal production!! Your videos have been helping me prepare to return to singing regularly after a long while, since your comments give me great reminders on technique - so thank you 💕
we just LOVE your reactions. we are both singers and you really know how to explain EVERYTHING. jost love you. Thanks for being on youtube.
Any reaction to Voctave is extremely welcome! It's very nice to see how they do in the eyes of a vocal coach
Can you please review one of Lea Michele’s performances. People have so many strong feelings about her being a good/bad singer. Would like to hear your take on her ability. Thanks!
Omg I love her as Eponiene! In Les Miserables
Of all the vocal coaches I've listened on youtube, Tara you give the best critiques, teachable and informative with vocal techniques. Kudos to you and TSS!
I appreciate what you're doing. God bless you.
Love to watch your face as you listen so very carefully. You are doing a great job. So relaxed, true, full of grace and lots of experience. Thank you!
Kirstin is definitely (and always has been) and conversational singer. Perfect for Broadway in my opinion. Awesome you pointed that out :)
really good vocal coach, i'm taking lessons in opera singing since just one year, and i believe that it's the basic technique for all singing styles.
I did everything like kristin before, but my coach did a lot of correctections. you seem to be a genius pop vocal coach bcs you care about the classical methods (how to drop the chin, how to pronounce words, vocals etc.)
thank you for this amazing work. edit: sry for my english, i'm german :)
Thanks for making the videos, I could watch you all day. Your comments are so balanced and refreshing!
I love your commentary!! I've watched this medley so many times and I'm so impressed you highlight all the moments I love listening to it first time. Only the gb6 end note the high soprano hits deserves a mention as well I would say 😍 That's so insane. I'm obsessed. Thank you!
at first i was like "ok just watch the thing lol" but then i realized she really knows what she's talking about, enjoyed the commentary
Did you know that at the time of this video they were engaged? You can see the chemistry working between them, especially the way he looks at her at times.
tbharness86 LOL I’m not engaged to her and I can’t take my eyes off her. Just too cute!
And now in 2020, they broke up a long time ago
This was a great review! I learned so much from it! One of my new favourite channels, thank you!
You’re facial reaction to her pronunciation of distance reminded me so much of my Madrigals professor in college reacting to someone singing Deck the “Halls”. The look would be swiftly followed by a “one hall” bellow from him. Man those were the days
Kirstin is the female singer in Pentatonix. She had definitely improved since this performance. Amazing video!
Do hallelujah by pentatonix and the great movie medly from voctave
Marina Emmanouilidou I NEED THIS! Yes pleeeeaase do halleluja!!
As good as everyone in that room is, and no matter how many times I’ve watch this it’s when the dude riffs on the Hercules song that gives me goosebumps. Every time!
They are doing so good no matter how I like hearing them sing and seeing them sing.All you are saying is good,and helpful to the singers I would say!
Love this.
Lincoln Eyar you’re making me blush ☺️ thanks so much for your encouragement! Be on the lookout for your request!
Lincoln Eyar a
I love these reaction videos you have been doing. A couple days ago I discovered your channel and I've liked, subscribed, and clicked the bell to be notified when you put up new content. Voctave has long been a group I've followed and just love the sound that they collectively produce. The two sopranos, Kate Lott and Tiffany Coburn, especially are just divine in their effortlessness in reaching, sustaining, and projecting those high notes. I also love their transitions and key changes. Back to your video(s), your immediate reactions are also wonderful to watch. You are very respectful to the artists, which is very refreshing in this world of excess negativity. But you are also ENJOYING and APPRECIATING the music and it comes across as such!! Music goes further than just right notes, right technique... it is about the emotion invoked, and as you listen to them, we get those raw, un-adultered emotions, as well. You also have a beautiful, beautiful voice; your timbre is just lovely. Thank you for doing these and, honestly, I would love to hear your reaction videos to more of Voctave's videos. Or also more of Pentatonix's videos, too!
JL Music you made my day! Thanks so much for the awesome feedback. Doing these for you all brings me a ton of joy!
Thank you so much for this! I love Kirstin so much but I *have* noticed how she almost never drops her jaw and appreciated your explanation of how she could make it even better 👍🏻
JESSIE J - MY HEART WILL GO ON
I need to see your reaction/evaluation of her singing...and also every song she sang on The Singer. Your mind will be blown!!!!
Jeremy is having so much fun----I think we are seeing the face of someone in love.
Kate Lott aka the woman in black is insanely good I don’t know how she isn’t freaking out over her high notes
Love this video. The first time I watched it, it really made me think about my own vocal straining and has improved my quality of voice. The little things matter most
YAY I was hoping you would react to this one! Jeremy’s riff was my favorite part and I was waiting for you to react to it as soon as I started the video☺️
I hearby appoint you as Kirstin's new vocal coach! You're awesome! You really see the details. I know Kirstin's been working with a vocal coach because she used to have a pronounced "side mouth" singing style and she's just about lost that. She has really improved a lot in just the last 12 or 18 months, and she's more confident as well. Sadly, the relationship with Jeremy didn't work out so well. But who knows, these things can change on a dime.
I'm not sure it makes a difference, but I noticed there are at least two different takes in the making of this video. One where Kirstin and Jeremy are directly facing each other and another where they're at an angle. So I'm not sure the visual picture exactly matches the sound we're hearing in each case. But the analysis of her singing seems on point either way, so she probably sings it consistently every time.
Joe Barnhart thank you for your comment! And I would LOVE to coach her...make that happen for me, ok? 🤣
@@Tarasimonstudios yea your one singer gold mine
Kirstin and Jeremy were engaged couple at that time and I just adore the way he looks at her with so much love. Their voice mix so beautifully and the way they look at eatch other. Pure love moment there
@Sasuke Uchiha I know that's why I used past tense
Noccha why ???
I love Voctave and so interesting hearing your review and learning about how you can shape different sounds. My favorite voctave video is the fly medley.
OMG, I love her!! Constructive analysis of a fabulous group. Internet at its best. Thank you!!!
You have become my favorite reactor/ vocal coach. I think you have an amazing voice and its obvious when you give us examples. Ive learned so much watching your videos, and I'm not a singer but I can appreciate the art way more after your explanations.
I think you would really appreciate Home Free cover of "How Great Thou Art". Their voices in this video gives me chills every time. Have a wonderful weekend!
HottnTrottn08 thank u sooo much!
Kristin and Jeremy are such a beautiful couple and you can see how much they love each other when they perform together
The "backup singers" are all former Voices of Liberty or Liberty Voices from Epcot. They originated as Regeneration, founded by Derrick Johnson. Do yourself a favor and go see their pre-show at The American Adventure at Epcot, and sit right in front of them on the floor. You will see people sit bolt upright at the notes hit, or cry tears of joy. I've seen it multiple times, having worked at Disney for 25 years (and having sung with the Candlelight Processional 18 of those years). The Voices are auditioned jobs, and all are professionally trained.
I really enjoy your videos. You're not trying to be funny or silly, and you obviously know what you're talking about. Thanks! You are officially my favorite RUclips vocal coach.
I absolutely love your critique and reaction. Thank you.
I would hands down recommend Sohyang's Arirang Alone. She is a Korean gosple singer, recognized as one of the best singers in Korea. She's a cancer surviver and mainly sings for charities and such. She has a lovely range and the best technique (in terms of supporting her ENTIRE range) I've come across for a long time now, and I would love to see your reaction to her if you don't mind a non - English song. Other vocal coaches have cried/been stunned speechless watching this performance- as well as her other songs :)
More Pentatonix reactions please... Maybe start with some of their early performances and compare it to one of the latest!! Thank you for doing this!!!
I love that you cover such an array of music! I personally love showtunes so your Voctave Reactions/Reviews are my personal favorite!
Wauw you are amazing! I had singing lessons for a few years and you said exactly the same things as my singing coach said to me! I also have a lot of jaw tension. It is really hard to get rid of. I love to listen to this because it takes me back to a time where I could sing so much more than I do right now. I love it!
Goodness, so many good comments already! Anyway - one of the things I really like about this particular video, is the opportunity to compare our two very talented, but still very young, leads, with the also very-talented Voctave, who have had a couple of decades to polish their craft. Every time I watch this video, it makes me think about what Kirstin and the rest of Pentatonix are going to sound like, when they're in their 30s and 40s and have had decades more training and performance experience. I don't think my heart will be able to stand it :)
Thanks so much for this reaction, I'm really enjoying your breakdowns and critique - makes listening to the videos a much richer experience. For Pentatonix, I'd like to hear your thoughts on their video for 'Hallelujah'. And for another, Scott and Mitch of PTX did a collaboration of Katy Perry's 'Rise!', with Mary Lambert, Brian Justin Crumb, and Mario Jose.
Thanks again, for sharing your reactions and expertise with us!
I love your reactions :)
I would love to see you react to Dimash Kudaibergenov with SOS or Opera 2 or Superfruit - Defying Gravity
I can say that all of your advices in every video you do help me singing in my house without effort. Thanks! Keep doing this, I love it.
Watching this in 2020... so nice to see how your “persona” change as you became more comfortable with RUclips. I’ve been following you since these times... here’s to the greatest vocal coach on RUclips ❤️ it’s has been really fun to watch you. Thanks for all the amazing content
Hope you get to see this comment
Awesome video ! I've been really enjoying your reactions. I hope you react to Kevin Olusola's covers, he's the beat boxer from Pentatonix and he has his own channel !
Yasmine Rabehi yes!!!! Kevin is killing it!
Being a fan of Kirsten though Pentatonix, she does tend to smirk sing but it's a pretty big part of why she's so charming as a performer. So yeah she sacrifices some depth and tone by not dropping her jaw but personally the whole package is worth any personal quirks in singing she has.
Loved your critique it’s all very on point and I will remember your techniques for my next vocal lesson!! Thank you x
OK Tara Simon is AMAZING. I could listen, watch and learn from her all day.
They were dating during the time of this recording. I believe he proposed the following week
they still are dating
@@chazeverett they split up in October of 2017.
@@judithcure2255 they are stilll together they postponed their wedding in 2017 but they never broke up

Oh, you have got to react to "Seize The Day" from Newsies, there's a studio version the cast did that is awesome.
I LOVED your critiques! Definitely makes me more aware of vocalization choices!
They were great and you were great! You are so knowledgeable and you express things in a way that also people like me, with no knowledge, can understand what is going on :) thank you and I can not way for the next video!
If you're not too tired of the Voctave reviews, it'd be cool if you could review the "Someone Like You" video. Great videos so far
YESSSSSSSS
Yes, please do!
yesss, please do
Yes! A lot of people don't know this one exists.
Since we are fans of Voctave can you do "Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame" You may have already heard it, so it may not be a reaction, but I would love to hear more of a critique/feedback on it. P.S. Love your work, and your voice is absolutely beautiful!
I had a blast watching this. Tara, I'm a professional trumpet player who has always benefited from bringing certain vocal techniques into my playing...breathing, open throat...more conceptual than I am able to describe. I've followed Voctave for a while now knowing most of them in the Voices of Liberty ensemble. Fun to see your reactions to them. Well done Tara.
I am really enjoying how you break down all of this, and provide examples. I'm not a singer (well, not professional), but I do voice acting. Through your commentary (and other skilled coaches I have sought) on the production of vowels, consonants, shaping the mouth, etc. it continues to help give me insight into better production of my voice over with diction especially in regards to voicing accents and characters. I find by using singing exercises like scales, runs, breathing exercises, posture etc. every day for the past few years really helps so much with vocal strain. This is especially true since I do long periods of character work in audio books. Thanks for helping out!
I don't think anyone has mentioned that Kirstin and Jeremy are actually in a relationship. They started shortly before this video was made, and I love their chemistry.
Hey! I recently discovered your channel and I love this kind of content. I wanted to ask/suggest you to react at two videos of kevin olusola (the beatboxer in the video evolution of Rihanna) "friends" and "down". They're short videos so I hope you do it. I think he received voice lessons so it would be very interesting for you to give an opinion. Keep up with this content! See you!
(Sorry for my english)
What I love about your critique, is you're giving me reasons for the points where I get chills. I'm going to get the chills regardless, but it's cool to know why something sounds so good.
I just found this channel, and its really entertaining. This is coming from a guy who only sings in the car and the shower, but its always cool to see people geek out on things they love.
Please review for the dancing and the dreaming by Peter Hollens and Evynne Hollens. I believe it is a beautiful cover and would love it if you could review it. :)
Please react to Sohyang, she is the best vocalist in South Korea, she has songs in both English and Korean. Your videos are amazing btw, upload more
Literally love this video. You’re so good at constructive criticism. You’re voice is also so beautiful.
Tara, you have a vocal knowledge I've never dreamed of knowing. Certainly I will take your course (remotely). I am not professional, far from it, just sing in a choir and I get so motivated listening to you. God bless you
I love the way you critique and point things out in this video. I've seen one other video of yours--the Evolution of Rihanna by Pentatonix, and I am a fan of Pentatonix. I would like to see you react to either Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy or Daft Punk, which are both by Pentatonix. I do like your content and the little bits of singing that you do throughout the videos because it shows me that you KNOW what you're talking about, and I have already learned some things just from this one video! I've never subscribed to someone's channel so easily before.
you tube wow...what a compliment!!! So glad you’re a subscriber. I’m honored 😇
Please review Voctave’s Great Movie Medley or their cover of Mary Did You Know!!
susan kimari comin your way!
Grreaaat reaction! Very thorough and simple explanations of the positives and negatives of singing techinque. Loooking forward for the next one!
Every time I watch this, You’ll be in my Heart gives my chills
Can you do "Someone like You" that Voctave did with Jody McBrayer from Avalon?
You should do impossible dream next by voctave! It's my favorite out of all of theirs
Gosh I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm not a singer but this is fun to watch - love your reactions
The Soprano in the black shirt is Kate Lott. She is absolutely amazing and you can really tell she was classically trained. She always goes wide, her vowels are always perfect. So nice to listen too.
yeah Kirstin is from Pentatonix and she did this with her jaw since the beginning of Pentatonix ^^ but i think in newer videos she trained it i guess ... and Jeremy is a amazing broadway singer ^^ and i think you can see that ... ohh yeah they where a couple and where engaged when they recorded this ^^ but in 2017 they postponed their wedding to work on certain unstated "issues"! BTW i am a huge fan of your channel ... greetings from germany^^
yeah that side mouth ey
not to ruin the moment but they’re not married. and they’re not a couple anymore either
yeah its so sad :`( but at least they were together when this came out
since when is that? :(
@@MsCreesy since mid/late last year I think :/
I think you would really enjoy listening to Home Free
Right? their harmonies are to die for, i adore them
I second this
I am so happy that you did this. I saw your first reaction on the Greatest Showman song they did. Then i watched this one which I have seen a million times! I then started wondering how you would break this down and now you did it! I cant really sing (besides in the shower and my car) but I really enjoy seeing how you break down the music and it is teaching me (someone who doesn't sing) a lot about music mechanics and how simple things like the placement of your jaw can really affect the pitch and power of a music note. Thank you and keep doing more!
-A California Fan
I still have my goosebumps even this is a review video... Good job Voctave!
Please do Someone Like You with Voctave ft Jody McBrayer!
Yes yes! Please...:-)
YES AGREED
So much this.
Please react to Avi Kaplan Quarter past four. He used to be the bass for ptx before Matt, the new guy.
Fields and Pier would be awesome as well.
Tara!! How wonderful to find you here, and purely by RUclips picking videos I'd "likely" want to see! OMG, you are so smart, insightful, helpful and encouraging in your criticism--I'm more impressed by you than ever. You also demonstrate all your points so beautifully, explaining every thought with a perfect demonstration. As always, your voice is a beast, and I love it. And I've a new way to describe the Voctave arrangements thanks to you--"crunchy!" Miss you!!
Absolutely love these reactions. Thank you!
Kirsten and Jeremy are so totally in love with each other and it's adorable
Grace Kapp they’re no longer together
Were*. They broke off their engagement a while back.
Could you do a reaction video on any one of Home Free's videos? Preferably "How great thou art" or "I'll be home for christmas"
Hi! I'm a college student who is aspiring to be a professional Christian singer, and I just found your channel and I absolutely love watching you react to these videos because it's all very similar critiques my own vocal coach gives me, and so, basically, I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate you for all you are doing, and I cant wait to see your next reacts videos. 😊
I think this was the first video of yours that I ever saw! Coming back to it now, almost a year later, I still look forward to new reactions from you whenever I see them!
