Some people have said it already but I'm gonna explain it again: Jessie J has a heart disease and was seeing her doctor in London just hours before this performance, who advised her not to perform, but the song has such a big meaning to her that she wanted to perform no matter what. She later explained that during the performance she felt close to fainting again and again, but she wanted to finish to get the message to the demon in her chest. So for what she went through while singing, this performance is insane.
That is so scary. It's amazing to see how passionate a person like Jessie can be, to basically put her foot down and tell her body that she needed to do this. Artists like her thrive on the energy they gain when they perform, and the energy they give to their audience. I've been to many concerts that the energy is so sharp and so strong you can almost taste it. It's electric for an audience member, I can't imagine what she felt as soon as she finished. That place was definitely alive.
Why exactly do you need to explain for her? It's a reaction video she's reacting to what she hears. She isn't saying..oh she did this wrong so she sucks she's explaining what and why for educational purposes so ppl who want to learn can learn.
What a refreshing surprise. Someone advertised as a vocal coach who actually IS a vocal coach. It's so clear that this lady properly knows her stuff. She's not just using some terms that she doesn't really understand. It's an actual educational experience watching these videos. 👏👏
People need to comment on the looks that Tara serves for us during these videos, she doesn’t just throw on a t shirt and tousle her hair, she comes on camera with a full face and a full look. This doesn’t have to do with the reaction itself but she needs a lil credit for that
I'm an amateur singer myself (meaning I don't do it professionally or publicly or anything, just happen to have a good voice and like singing to myself) and even though I've always done this naturally, it never occurred to me that I was doing it or that it was a thing until this video. lol You learn something new every day!
I freaking love Jessie J, she’s absolutely incredible... Fun fact: Jessie was struggling with a heart condition during this show and was told by doctors not to continue but she did anyway giving this song an extra meaning specifically to her
Sad fact: She was actually flown back to London to see her doctor, because the heart pain was unbearable and had to skip her turn to perform. When she came back to China, she came back with this song.
She's not pronouncing the 'r' at the end of 'never' because she sings them with her own accent (as do some of the other singers you've reacted to). Because she's English.
Tara Simon Studios btw she had or still has a heart disease which this is so amazing how her doctor told her not to go and she still did, so when you correcting her singing, she had to do those like steps cuz of her heart disease, like for example where you said that she didn’t need to breath.
I have such a soft spot in my heart for Jessie J.. And your reaction, Tara, was just magical to look at. I really appreciate what you do. A big hug from Italy!
Celine's classic version is powerfully delicate. But Jessie J version sounds rich and rounded with the texture of her voice. She feels a different feeling to the song itself, but both are impeccable.
@@lukepearce6500 You could not have sounded like more of a prick in just two sentences.

This song was so special because Jessie J has a heart condition and was sick that day. Her doctors told her not to perform because they didn't think it was safe. She went against doctors orders and decided to perform so when she sings "and i know that my heart will go on" she really meant it. HER heart will go on
so i really don't know a whole lot about proper singing techniques, nor music in general, sans knowing how much i love hearing talent in either, BUT i do know how much i love yr lovely disposition! you always provide an educated, concise, & well worded break down of so many insanely talented singers. & somehow, you manage to look absolutely flawless every time, as well as have what appears to be an impeccable home &/or studio type place. i look forward to seeing more! much gratitude, sincerely.
She sang amazing songs while she was on Singer. Her rendition of purple rain and earth song are amazing. She always choses difficult iconic songs and she always manages to make it her own.
Hi Tara thank you so much for reacting to Jessica's performance. I would like to share with you things that were happening to Jessie J there before and during this performance. IT is a bit long but it is worth the reading. Jessica Ellen Cornish A.K.A "Jessie J" has a heart condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. This song meant so much to her and to her fans because of this condition. I will explain below. I have the same heart condition. I do know what she was feeling and I know she made a TITANIC effort to remain on her feet and even much more to sing her heart out as she did. This illness causes irregular heartbeat, insanely increases your heartbeat rate, shortness of breath, fainting, angina (chest pain), and may cause sudden death due to cardiac arrest. In this recording she is performing on Episode 9. Jessica fainted during the rehearsals for episode 8 because she was having angina (chest pain). The pain is indescribable, trust me. It is like having cramps in your heart - like the ones you have in your legs when exercising? well just like that, but in your heart. Therefore she couldn't perform for that episode. She had to be taken back in emergency to England where she was hospitalized and kept there for over a week to stabilize her. But then despite doctors orders she went back to China to perform and arrived there just a few hours before the show for Episode 9 started. Once the heart gets to this point where you are having the angina, it is hard to take it back to its normal heartbeat and this causes you extreme weakness, sensation of suffocation (maybe this is why she breaths when apparently not needed), and a constant feeling of wanting to faint. That is why she was shaking at the end. Not because she was nervous as she says, but because how weak she felt. For some reason she simply would hide it from us all. Maybe she did not want to worry us. I know that when the results were given of this performance and they announced her as the winner of this episode she stood up to talk and went down immediately while apologizing for sitting down, because she was extremely dizzy and that is because of the lack of oxygen in your brain due to your heart going too fast or jumping all over the place. Notice how at the beginning of her performance the look in her eyes was like lost. That stray look she had it through out all her performance. Also you could notice the generalized weakness. There is one point at the beginning where she drops her arms and exhales like showing exhaustion 4:27 . Notice also how when she lifts both of her arms, her left arm never seems to reach the same height as the right arm, that happens because the left side of your body holds your heart and your heart is not pumping the blood well so your left arm feels much heavier (4:09, 4:46, 4:55, 6:16 etc)That is how I knew she was still struggling with the post effects of the relapse of her heart condition. Just before the climax of the song almost at the end of it where she pauses (6:08), notice how she turns her head back to the band conductor and moves her head in signal of approval like saying "yes I am gonna do it" She knew she could faint.. She was feeling really bad, so she wasn't sure if she could finish or not the song as planned so I bet she agreed with the conductor whether she would do or not that ending you watched there. How she could pull this off is beyond my comprehension, and I guess hers too. What she was going through was not child's play. And despite all this she did it all for us and for herself. Her performance was basically flawless, her rendition beyond expectations, etc, etc, etc. In my humble opinion, besides being an outstanding performer, an incredible story teller and one of the best vocalists that has ever walked on this earth, she is also a remarkable and awesome human being. I am very proud of her!
Just yes to every word you said. I don’t know how she did it, she amazes me all the time. Proud of her too. Also thanks for more of an insight to how it is to have that disease, i really didn’t know. Have a good one! =D
@@Lilka20061990 hehehe, yes it is harder than people think. She has a great disposition and she loves her heartbeats. Fortunately she loves herself too and all that helps greatly. There is nothing that love can't conquer hehehehe. But what she has is no child's play and I truly vow before her. I don't have her courage and her resolve God bless her a thousand times more!!!
Wow thank you for all that info I always wonder about these little things. Do you have a feeling of when it comes on? Like you know your about to be in pain. Does angina happen often (or I guess depends on each person?) ❤️
@@jessissa6399 Hi!, well not really for the angina, it doesn't happen always but when it happens is devastating. We never know because when it starts it always happens with a sudden feeling of oppression on the chest but the arritmia also provoques that so we never know if it is gonna hit us. When the pain hits most of the time we faint. Then it takes us like 2 or three weeks to recover, because the heart goes crazy for some time like when you are jumpstarting a car.. I don't know how to describe it lol. That is why I was suspecting that Jessica was not well when she sang this song. So I started looking for the signs and I found them. Like for example the lack of energy, the stray look in her eyes because you feel dizzy all the time, the lack of breath.. she would take deep breaths often, ... difficulty lifting your left arm, shakiness, etc. It was crazy that she went through this, she could have had a cardiac arrest but she took the chance anyway. I guess that is also the reason why she did all she could to hide it from us. She kept saying she was nervous, and trust me... knowing the high stakes of what could happen might cause you to be very nervous. Who knows what was going through her mind. I guess that that's why she stopped at the end, touched her chest and smiled 11:37 ... She had just finished taunting death and she was still alive... the things I learned about Jessica after all this happened are that she is a very brave woman... very very brave, and that she must love us maybe too much for her own good lol, but then again maybe that is what keeps her alive and thriving too. xoxoxoxo
Hahaha me too! I started with the Lea Salonga react and now I'm searching for more Broadway singers but every video was just fascinating and informative! 😍 😍 😍
I love Jessie J. She is so uniquely gifted in her vocal style and just a beautiful and transparent woman. For her to have been dealing with health issues including her heart and infertility at this time, she sang her heart out so wonderfully. I also love how you so eloquently explain the technicalities here and during other performances. I have such an appreciation for music and artistry!
Jessie J's heart will go on long after she has left this earth. She is a powerhouse and an inspiration to us all. Fantastic unpicking of her vocal technique here. I have to say you are one of the best vocal coaches on RUclips. Really honest and informative, giving us all you have as a teacher. Thank you.
I love how you work, you analyze instead of putting people down like other channels I’ve seen do the same type of videos. Yours is genuine constructive criticism! Keep it up, love watching you!
I think she mentioned in the after-performance interview that her climax note was not as well executed as she hoped for. She was asking her team if it sounded weird or was off key.
Always been a huge fan of Jessie J, for vocal ability, riffs, artistic interpretation & expression, interaction with fans & how genuine she is as a person. There is both a clarity & a richness to her voice, which is so unique but it always reflects her emotions & listening to her acoustic versions are just balm to my soul. I cannot sing for toffee (great to sing in the car or shower though), but love hearing Tara’s analysis of technique & artistic interpretation, which is so interesting.
Do you know that most of them spend more time asking the viewers to click subscribe hit the notification bell comment and bla bla more than the content itself haha
Can you do more reactions to Jessie J from Singer 2018, like Domino, Purple Rain, Killing me softly with his song, etc... I really like how you break down all the "tricks" she does in her live performances, because I look up to her as a singing idol ^^
I guess everyone has already been commenting on her heart condition and how hard it was for her to make it through this performance, but also how important it was to her that she do so. Here is one excellent description of the battle she faced, written not by me but by a person at another posting. See what you think: ** IF YOU LOVE JESSIE J YOU HAVE TO READ THIS. YOU MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!*** Hi thank you for your reaction! Jessica Ellen Cornish A.K.A "Jessie J" has a heart condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. This song meant so much to her and to her fans because of this condition. I have the same heart condition.

Notice also how when she lifts both of her arms, her left arm never seems to reach the same height as the right arm, that happens because the left side of your body holds your heart and you are not pumping the blood well so your left arm feels much heavier .. This happens many times during her performance if you check it out you'll see it. That is how I knew she was still struggling with the effects of her heart condition.

I am very proud of her!
I'm new to this,but truly love your comments and professionalism.And as petty as it might be---Thank you for respecting the performance,your work,and us,by not showing up in a tee shirt & jeans.It shows you care,in many ways.
I love Jessie J! This was a performance from the show Singer, as you said. Which is the world's biggest singing competition with I believe about 3 billion viewers, and she WON that competition! She is a badass singer, and human being! She works hard for her voice to be on top at all times. And she gives so much to her audience and fans. Can you believe she recorded a studio album at the same time she was competing in Singer! Crazy..
No, it's a singing thing. Regardless of how one speaks, when singing properly you don't pronounce r's. Country music would be the one exception, but even then it bugs me because of how I was trained.
Elizabeth White totally agree with you. My choir director actually chucked his wand at one of our members because he sang “neverrrrrr”, and it had a full country twang. We had one baritone that had the full country accent, so my choir director knew who it was.
@@elizabethwhite1068 It can be a singing thing. But it can also be a singer singing in their own accent thing - Jessie J has always sung mostly in her own accent.
I'll say it again, I love the depth to which you go when listening this kind of performance. About the last "foreeeeevee this way", I know it's not a perfect note, but as you said, the raw in it makes it such a perfect fit for this, with the emotions and the point in the song where it happens
I really adore your reactions! And every Jessie J performance in China is just so flawless, I really appreciate seeing people recognize her talent on that
She also sang Earth Song by Michael Jackson (mixed with her own song Flashlight) on this show and I loved her performance SOOO MUCH. I recommend you check it out :)
How can people dislike this video...A) It's Jessie J...B) Tara is spot on with her reaction and very intelligent and highly experienced critique!! Excellent video!! xo
@@SeriousGamer753 I appreciate that she looks fantastic every time. It's professional, and to be honest it wouldn't look very good in comparison to the nice background setup she has there if she showed up in sweatpants and a sweater.
@@thefudgestix Also did you notice how amazingly well the room is lit? I think they are filming right next to a large window with stage lights to the left. Very airy and bright. Looks very nice
Been watching about a month now, really like your technical notes, they set you apart from other "voice studio reacts." Came for Jessie, stayed for technique! *subscribes*
So, I’ve been watching a lot of “vocal coaches” reaction videos lately, and you are by far the most knowledgeable. I learned more from this one video than all the others combined.
Really appreciate her performance, especially the story behind this performance. My gosh. I'm also learning something new every video I watch from you Tara. Thank you :)
My god lady, you have the most captivating passion in how you listen to music, to be honest i really only look at your face and how you move your body to know what the emotions in the songs you review are! Haha!! Love it! You also always dress up with the same passion! Brilliant!! Keep it up! That lady didnt aing bad either!
I love your critiques. I don't have an ear for all that you are talking about until you point it out. Thanks for the joy of your tours of these vocals.
Another great in-depth breakdown..it’s so refreshing to see someone who actually knows what they’re talking about on a RUclips channel with regards to reactions.If you get round to another JJ song you could check out her Purple Rain on the Singer 👍
Ya know, I'm just starting to realize how knowledgeable Tara is. Like, I knew she knew what she was talking about... But, when she pointed out Jessie nearly overshooting, I was like, "Dang, Tara does not get enough credit." So, here am I, one aspiring singer, applauding you. Love your videos, and I learn so much. Please don't ever stop!

Argh the chills... Once again love the way you break down the vocal techniques of each performer, you're such a classy queen. 😊
Two of my favorite songs of her on this show is " killing me softly with his song" and " purple rain ". I would love to have you react to these 2 performances.
I wanted to watch this after finding out that Jessie has WPW. I suffer from SVT and it's controlled my life with overwhelming amounts of anxiety and fear that I'll die. Watching her perform this (even with the critique) made me say to myself.. "If she can do this, I can do anything, even with this heart condition." She's brave. And thanks for the video! I love learning about this stuff.
Loved this reaction - I've watched her version of this so many times plus many reactions and yours is by far my fave. So technical and detailed! Was worried you were gonna criticise the 'fry/cracky/grit' top high note but I absolutely love it and glad you said it was intentional/added to the emotion. Would love you to react to Jeremy Jordan 'Losing My Mind' - it's a beautiful version of a theatrical song, but not as well known as some things people are probably commenting. Think you'd have a lot to say on it :)
Tara not only you amaze us with your incredibly resourceful reviews but your stunning beauty and upbeat personality takes us on a beautiful trip every time. Great job as usual!
Please react to Lara Fabian you won't be disappointed she's so amazing! You can literally react to any song of her she's serving great vocals in every one of them lol
Sweet, more JJ. 😊 Thank you. Another excellent breakdown, Coach Tara. 👍 I learned a few things. What you said about making choices and taking technical risk reminds me somewhat of what Sohyang said about singing technical all the time may interfere with the message of the song, so it's necessary sometime to not be technically perfect, to achieve a more desirably artistic effect on occasions. Maybe you can catch some of those moments, and break them down for us. JJ did great here. She's visibly pale and looks tired because she went against her doctor and performed anyway. She missed the week prior because of her congenital heart defect acting up. The song took an entirely different meaning because of that. For your future JJ reaction, _"Purple Rain"_ or _"Killing Me Softly"_ would be great, both still from "Singer 2018" too, ofc. Or, you can do Dimash again, like _"Adagio"_ (from "Singer 2017") or his latest _"Sinful Passion"_ would be a good choice. For Sohyang, the best chance to catch her being vulnerable is probably in her more more emotional performances like _"Where Are You"_ ( vimeo.com/254194327 ) or _"Hug Me"_ ( vimeo.com/240094506 ). I put the Vimeo links because the videos in RUclips for those performances have interruptions with interview in the middle of the performance, even cut short/halved outright. 🙄😲
Thanks so much Tara! Love your reactions! Keep being awesome! Sorry I missed that lesson that you gave for free last night. Please do another one like that!!
I have been singing my whole life and have a lot of fans with no voice lessons. I’m so amazed at the things I was doing that you talk about here that I didn’t even know!! Your so informative!! Can’t wait to watch more. Gonna soak in all I can!! Jessie J just owned that song. She is amazing!! Really enjoyed your reaction to the song!!
She had just flown in against doctors recommendation because she was super sick (Not like a flu type thing, but severe abdominal pain and stuff) and you can kinda see it in her performance, and her facial expression. She even said that the whole time she was just focusing on not passing out. She is amazing ❤️
I have to remember you that Jessie was not 100% at this performance. She had just arrived in China after going back to UK to treat her heart disease. She fainted during the rehearsals, went to UK to be treated by her doctors and then went back to China to sing this song. She even said that during the performance all she could think was "don't faint, don't faint".
Just found your channel and have watched a few videos. I can tell you really love what you do. I’ve always wanted to sing but I know my vocals are all over the place. Interested in your 8 week course!
I love Jesse J. I am a singer myself..ive not sung for a while and want to get back into it. I just ran into your video for the first time. Great video

..yea she had just come back after beeing treated from her heart disease! Have to admire her for taking the risk!
That is so scary. It's amazing to see how passionate a person like Jessie can be, to basically put her foot down and tell her body that she needed to do this. Artists like her thrive on the energy they gain when they perform, and the energy they give to their audience. I've been to many concerts that the energy is so sharp and so strong you can almost taste it. It's electric for an audience member, I can't imagine what she felt as soon as she finished. That place was definitely alive.
I'm really glad nobody disliked that comment. it's wonderful 😊❤️
Why exactly do you need to explain for her? It's a reaction video she's reacting to what she hears. She isn't saying..oh she did this wrong so she sucks she's explaining what and why for educational purposes so ppl who want to learn can learn.
Dr.: Jessie, your heart cannot allow you to perform tonight.
Jessie: no. My heart WILL go on.
What a refreshing surprise. Someone advertised as a vocal coach who actually IS a vocal coach. It's so clear that this lady properly knows her stuff. She's not just using some terms that she doesn't really understand. It's an actual educational experience watching these videos. 👏👏
People need to comment on the looks that Tara serves for us during these videos, she doesn’t just throw on a t shirt and tousle her hair, she comes on camera with a full face and a full look. This doesn’t have to do with the reaction itself but she needs a lil credit for that
Derek Raynaud SHES beautiful Tara
Derek Raynaud just did, actually! then happened to see yr comment, haha. :)
Awe, thank you! #nightmade 😇 so sweet of you to say.
Right on! She just exudes Professionalism! So pleasing to the eye and helps us digest the analysis such much better!!!✨👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😘
I agreeeeee!!! 😍❤️
The bit about adding an n- in front blew my mind. I never knew that was a thing
Very good way to center your support before you sing to help you phonate
Mine tho haha
I'm an amateur singer myself (meaning I don't do it professionally or publicly or anything, just happen to have a good voice and like singing to myself) and even though I've always done this naturally, it never occurred to me that I was doing it or that it was a thing until this video. lol You learn something new every day!
I know right
I freaking love Jessie J, she’s absolutely incredible...
Fun fact: Jessie was struggling with a heart condition during this show and was told by doctors not to continue but she did anyway giving this song an extra meaning specifically to her
Uh it is not that Fun fact -.-
Sad fact: She was actually flown back to London to see her doctor, because the heart pain was unbearable and had to skip her turn to perform. When she came back to China, she came back with this song.
zakapturzona Yeah I guess... upsetting fact?
That fact isn't too fun but ok
This girl is one of the best vocalists of our generation Jessie j is s beast she has so much control it’s crazy
She’s really good!
She's not pronouncing the 'r' at the end of 'never' because she sings them with her own accent (as do some of the other singers you've reacted to).
Because she's English.
Good point!
Tara Simon Studios btw she had or still has a heart disease which this is so amazing how her doctor told her not to go and she still did, so when you correcting her singing, she had to do those like steps cuz of her heart disease, like for example where you said that she didn’t need to breath.
Same thought
jessie j has a phenomenal voice like i can’t even explain it she hits notes and does the amazing runs i can’t even explain it. so good
I have such a soft spot in my heart for Jessie J.. And your reaction, Tara, was just magical to look at. I really appreciate what you do. A big hug from Italy!
Celine's classic version is powerfully delicate. But Jessie J version sounds rich and rounded with the texture of her voice. She feels a different feeling to the song itself, but both are impeccable.
🥺🥺🥺🥺
Jessie's technic is nowhere to be seen besides Celine's. She's just better than Jessie like stop comparing that roach to Céline.
@@lukepearce6500 You could not have sounded like more of a prick in just two sentences.

Hi Tara thank you so much for reacting to Jessica's performance. I would like to share with you things that were happening to Jessie J there before and during this performance. IT is a bit long but it is worth the reading.
Jessica Ellen Cornish A.K.A "Jessie J" has a heart condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. This song meant so much to her and to her fans because of this condition.
I will explain below.
I have the same heart condition. I do know what she was feeling and I know she made a TITANIC effort to remain on her feet and even much more to sing her heart out as she did. This illness causes irregular heartbeat, insanely increases your heartbeat rate, shortness of breath, fainting, angina (chest pain), and may cause sudden death due to cardiac arrest.
In this recording she is performing on Episode 9. Jessica fainted during the rehearsals for episode 8 because she was having angina (chest pain). The pain is indescribable, trust me. It is like having cramps in your heart - like the ones you have in your legs when exercising? well just like that, but in your heart. Therefore she couldn't perform for that episode.
She had to be taken back in emergency to England where she was hospitalized and kept there for over a week to stabilize her.
But then despite doctors orders she went back to China to perform and arrived there just a few hours before the show for Episode 9 started.
Once the heart gets to this point where you are having the angina, it is hard to take it back to its normal heartbeat and this causes you extreme weakness, sensation of suffocation (maybe this is why she breaths when apparently not needed), and a constant feeling of wanting to faint. That is why she was shaking at the end. Not because she was nervous as she says, but because how weak she felt. For some reason she simply would hide it from us all. Maybe she did not want to worry us.
I know that when the results were given of this performance and they announced her as the winner of this episode she stood up to talk and went down immediately while apologizing for sitting down, because she was extremely dizzy and that is because of the lack of oxygen in your brain due to your heart going too fast or jumping all over the place.
Notice how at the beginning of her performance the look in her eyes was like lost. That stray look she had it through out all her performance. Also you could notice the generalized weakness. There is one point at the beginning where she drops her arms and exhales like showing exhaustion 4:27 .
Notice also how when she lifts both of her arms, her left arm never seems to reach the same height as the right arm, that happens because the left side of your body holds your heart and your heart is not pumping the blood well so your left arm feels much heavier (4:09, 4:46, 4:55, 6:16 etc)That is how I knew she was still struggling with the post effects of the relapse of her heart condition.
Just before the climax of the song almost at the end of it where she pauses (6:08), notice how she turns her head back to the band conductor and moves her head in signal of approval like saying "yes I am gonna do it" She knew she could faint.. She was feeling really bad, so she wasn't sure if she could finish or not the song as planned so I bet she agreed with the conductor whether she would do or not that ending you watched there.
How she could pull this off is beyond my comprehension, and I guess hers too. What she was going through was not child's play. And despite all this she did it all for us and for herself. Her performance was basically flawless, her rendition beyond expectations, etc, etc, etc.
In my humble opinion, besides being an outstanding performer, an incredible story teller and one of the best vocalists that has ever walked on this earth, she is also a remarkable and awesome human being. I am very proud of her!
Just yes to every word you said. I don’t know how she did it, she amazes me all the time. Proud of her too. Also thanks for more of an insight to how it is to have that disease, i really didn’t know. Have a good one! =D
@@Lilka20061990 hehehe, yes it is harder than people think. She has a great disposition and she loves her heartbeats. Fortunately she loves herself too and all that helps greatly. There is nothing that love can't conquer hehehehe. But what she has is no child's play and I truly vow before her. I don't have her courage and her resolve God bless her a thousand times more!!!
Wow thank you for all that info I always wonder about these little things. Do you have a feeling of when it comes on? Like you know your about to be in pain. Does angina happen often (or I guess depends on each person?) ❤️
@@jessissa6399 Hi!, well not really for the angina, it doesn't happen always but when it happens is devastating. We never know because when it starts it always happens with a sudden feeling of oppression on the chest but the arritmia also provoques that so we never know if it is gonna hit us. When the pain hits most of the time we faint. Then it takes us like 2 or three weeks to recover, because the heart goes crazy for some time like when you are jumpstarting a car.. I don't know how to describe it lol. That is why I was suspecting that Jessica was not well when she sang this song. So I started looking for the signs and I found them. Like for example the lack of energy, the stray look in her eyes because you feel dizzy all the time, the lack of breath.. she would take deep breaths often, ... difficulty lifting your left arm, shakiness, etc. It was crazy that she went through this, she could have had a cardiac arrest but she took the chance anyway. I guess that is also the reason why she did all she could to hide it from us. She kept saying she was nervous, and trust me... knowing the high stakes of what could happen might cause you to be very nervous. Who knows what was going through her mind. I guess that that's why she stopped at the end, touched her chest and smiled 11:37 ... She had just finished taunting death and she was still alive... the things I learned about Jessica after all this happened are that she is a very brave woman... very very brave, and that she must love us maybe too much for her own good lol, but then again maybe that is what keeps her alive and thriving too. xoxoxoxo
pwpg06 you described it well, thank you!
I just found your channel this morning and now I've watched many, can't believe I'm binged watching hahaha!
Lol!!! So glad you’re enjoying!!
Hahaha me too! I started with the Lea Salonga react and now I'm searching for more Broadway singers but every video was just fascinating and informative! 😍 😍 😍
@@anamayoca this is me right now at 2 am😂😂
Same here
Jessie J is a LEGEND! She slays vocal trinity songs so flawlessly! Plus, someone said she has a heart condition? WOW
Shes amazing. Better than most singer out there today. That being said, I want to here YOU sing. The little bits we heard were gorgeous!
Masterpiece!!! Jessie J she’s one of the best singers in the world ❤️ Her voice kindness and passion is everything 😍
I love Jessie J. She is so uniquely gifted in her vocal style and just a beautiful and transparent woman. For her to have been dealing with health issues including her heart and infertility at this time, she sang her heart out so wonderfully. I also love how you so eloquently explain the technicalities here and during other performances. I have such an appreciation for music and artistry!
One of my favorite live performances of anyone ever. It’s disgusting how underrated she is. Everybody be sleeping
jessie j does some insane runs!
HELLO I'M HERE JUST FOR JESSIE
Jaja Lebom So am I. Many can sing but they don't all have that gorgeous voice of Jessie's
Ted Frey thats called tone
@@souhail2030 me tooooo
@wapa au yesss!
ME TOO
Jessie J's heart will go on long after she has left this earth. She is a powerhouse and an inspiration to us all.
Fantastic unpicking of her vocal technique here. I have to say you are one of the best vocal coaches on RUclips. Really honest and informative, giving us all you have as a teacher. Thank you.
These videos are gold. Glad to see how active you are on your RUclips. Keep it up!
I love how you work, you analyze instead of putting people down like other channels I’ve seen do the same type of videos. Yours is genuine constructive criticism! Keep it up, love watching you!
I think she mentioned in the after-performance interview that her climax note was not as well executed as she hoped for. She was asking her team if it sounded weird or was off key.
I’m crying because this was soo beautiful and titanic🥺
Always been a huge fan of Jessie J, for vocal ability, riffs, artistic interpretation & expression, interaction with fans & how genuine she is as a person. There is both a clarity & a richness to her voice, which is so unique but it always reflects her emotions & listening to her acoustic versions are just balm to my soul. I cannot sing for toffee (great to sing in the car or shower though), but love hearing Tara’s analysis of technique & artistic interpretation, which is so interesting.
Wow why are u so underrated, alot of other vocal coaches don’t even explain as much as u do and are overrated ehm ehm.... kudos to you great video 💙
Do you know that most of them spend more time asking the viewers to click subscribe hit the notification bell comment and bla bla more than the content itself haha
Yes
Listening to Jessie J I'm impressed by Celine. She has impacted a new generation. Well done JJ.
Great reveiw Tara.... loved it.
She is an amazing singer and a truly wonderful person.
Can you do more reactions to Jessie J from Singer 2018, like Domino, Purple Rain, Killing me softly with his song, etc... I really like how you break down all the "tricks" she does in her live performances, because I look up to her as a singing idol ^^
Up
I guess everyone has already been commenting on her heart condition and how hard it was for her to make it through this performance, but also how important it was to her that she do so. Here is one excellent description of the battle she faced, written not by me but by a person at another posting. See what you think:
** IF YOU LOVE JESSIE J YOU HAVE TO READ THIS. YOU MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!***
Hi thank you for your reaction!
Jessica Ellen Cornish A.K.A "Jessie J" has a heart condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. This song meant so much to her and to her fans because of this condition.
I have the same heart condition. I do know what she was feeling and I know she made a TITANIC effort to remain on her feet ... and even much more to sing her heart out as she did.
This illness causes irregular heartbeat, insanely increases your heartbeat rate, shortness of breath, fainting, angina (chest pain), and may cause sudden death due to cardiac arrest (here is where the mayor risk is).
Jessica fainted during the rehearsals for episode 8 because she was having angina (chest pain). The pain is indescribable, trust me. It is like having cramps in your heart - like the ones you have in your legs when exercising? well just like that, but in your heart.
She had to be taken back in emergency to England where she was hospitalized and kept there for over a week to try to stabilize her.
Once the heart gets to this point where you are having the angina it is hard to take it back to its normal heartbeat and this causes you extreme weakness, sensation of suffocation and a constant feeling of wanting to faint. That is why she was shaking at the end of her performance. Not because she was nervous as she said, but because how weak she felt. For some reason she simply would hide it from us all. Maybe she did not want to worry us.
I know that when the results were given of this performance and they announced her as the winner of this episode she stood up to talk and went down immediately while apologizing for sitting down, cause she was extremely dizzy and that is because of the lack of oxygen in your brain due to your heart going too fast or jumping all over the place.
Notice how at the beginning of her performance the look in her eyes was like lost. That stray look she had it through out all her performance, then you could notice the generalized weakness. There is one point at the beginning where she drops her arms and exhales like showing exhaustion I would show you were exactly this happens but you cut the video too often and that point wasn't recorded. .
Notice also how when she lifts both of her arms, her left arm never seems to reach the same height as the right arm, that happens because the left side of your body holds your heart and you are not pumping the blood well so your left arm feels much heavier .. This happens many times during her performance if you check it out you'll see it. That is how I knew she was still struggling with the effects of her heart condition.
Just before the climax of the song almost at the end of it where she pauses, notice how she turns her head back to the band conductor and signals him with a movement of her head in signal of approval like saying "yes I am gonna do it" She knew she could faint.. She was feeling really bad, so she wasn't sure if she could finish or not the song as planned so I bet she agreed with the conductor whether she would do it or not.
How she could pull this off is beyond my comprehension. What she was going through was not child's play. And despite all this she did it all for us and herself. Her performance was flawless, the rendition beyond perfection, etc, etc, etc.
Besides being an outstanding performer, an incredible story teller and one of the best vocalists that has ever walked on this earth, she is also a remarkable and awesome human being. I am very proud of her!
I love the way she made the song her own way, my mentor
I'm new to this,but truly love your comments and professionalism.And as petty as it might be---Thank you for respecting the performance,your work,and us,by not showing up in a tee shirt & jeans.It shows you care,in many ways.
I love when you react to Jessie J's videos. Please react to her singing Purple Rain on this same show.
Probably one of my favorite performances by anyone ever
yes, please
YESS
Alex i concur wholeheartedly!
yess!! please!
Tara's reaction at 9:23 ... Lerv it when Jessie J gives you chills!
I love Jessie J! This was a performance from the show Singer, as you said. Which is the world's biggest singing competition with I believe about 3 billion viewers, and she WON that competition! She is a badass singer, and human being! She works hard for her voice to be on top at all times. And she gives so much to her audience and fans. Can you believe she recorded a studio album at the same time she was competing in Singer! Crazy..
I am not a singer but these videos are fascinating and delightful to watch. Followed a few days ago. Thank you!
She's so precise when she sings, she's the best
I love the way you articulate and communicate your wealth of knowledge, it's very enlightening.
She pronounces ‘never’ without the r because of her British accent, that’s just how we say it compared to Americans :)
No, it's a singing thing. Regardless of how one speaks, when singing properly you don't pronounce r's. Country music would be the one exception, but even then it bugs me because of how I was trained.
Elizabeth White totally agree with you. My choir director actually chucked his wand at one of our members because he sang “neverrrrrr”, and it had a full country twang. We had one baritone that had the full country accent, so my choir director knew who it was.
@@elizabethwhite1068 It can be a singing thing. But it can also be a singer singing in their own accent thing - Jessie J has always sung mostly in her own accent.
I'll say it again, I love the depth to which you go when listening this kind of performance.
About the last "foreeeeevee this way", I know it's not a perfect note, but as you said, the raw in it makes it such a perfect fit for this, with the emotions and the point in the song where it happens
I really adore your reactions! And every Jessie J performance in China is just so flawless, I really appreciate seeing people recognize her talent on that
Great breakdown and what an amazing talent that lady is! She is one of the greats. ❤️🙏🏼
So great, that vocal fry at the end was the moment that gave me goosebumps so I loved the stylistic choice. Thanks so much for reacting to this.
She's so beautiful and classy. Seems like a sweetheart. Amazing vocalist too.
She also sang Earth Song by Michael Jackson (mixed with her own song Flashlight) on this show and I loved her performance SOOO MUCH. I recommend you check it out :)
How can people dislike this video...A) It's Jessie J...B) Tara is spot on with her reaction and very intelligent and highly experienced critique!! Excellent video!! xo
do you ALWAYS look like a million bucks? I mean WOW!
I do agree, she always looks like she's ready to go to a royal ball or something
@@SeriousGamer753 I appreciate that she looks fantastic every time. It's professional, and to be honest it wouldn't look very good in comparison to the nice background setup she has there if she showed up in sweatpants and a sweater.
@@thefudgestix Also did you notice how amazingly well the room is lit? I think they are filming right next to a large window with stage lights to the left. Very airy and bright. Looks very nice
@@thefudgestix she could wear burlap and make it look like couture.... just sayin
@@ranchrods1 I mean she will still look great, but she won't exactly match with the background.
Been watching about a month now, really like your technical notes, they set you apart from other "voice studio reacts." Came for Jessie, stayed for technique! *subscribes*
Queen Jessie J
So, I’ve been watching a lot of “vocal coaches” reaction videos lately, and you are by far the most knowledgeable. I learned more from this one video than all the others combined.
Really appreciate her performance, especially the story behind this performance. My gosh. I'm also learning something new every video I watch from you Tara. Thank you :)
My god! That girls range! Amazing. A real treat to listen to.
i never knew she was THAT good. I love her version of Killing me Softly
Man out of all the vocal coach videos spurting out, my god Tara's insight and technical knowledge are just so superb I learn so much every video
My god lady, you have the most captivating passion in how you listen to music, to be honest i really only look at your face and how you move your body to know what the emotions in the songs you review are! Haha!! Love it! You also always dress up with the same passion! Brilliant!! Keep it up! That lady didnt aing bad either!
I love your critiques. I don't have an ear for all that you are talking about until you point it out. Thanks for the joy of your tours of these vocals.
Another great in-depth breakdown..it’s so refreshing to see someone who actually knows what they’re talking about on a RUclips channel with regards to reactions.If you get round to another JJ song you could check out her Purple Rain on the Singer 👍
Jessie j is so underrated,the best talented
Ya know, I'm just starting to realize how knowledgeable Tara is.
Like, I knew she knew what she was talking about...
But, when she pointed out Jessie nearly overshooting, I was like, "Dang, Tara does not get enough credit."
So, here am I, one aspiring singer, applauding you.
Love your videos, and I learn so much. Please don't ever stop!
Argh the chills... Once again love the way you break down the vocal techniques of each performer, you're such a classy queen. 😊
Two of my favorite songs of her on this show is " killing me softly with his song" and " purple rain ". I would love to have you react to these 2 performances.
Tara Simon looks stunning and sounds great when she sings. She could serenade me anytime.
I wanted to watch this after finding out that Jessie has WPW. I suffer from SVT and it's controlled my life with overwhelming amounts of anxiety and fear that I'll die. Watching her perform this (even with the critique) made me say to myself.. "If she can do this, I can do anything, even with this heart condition." She's brave. And thanks for the video! I love learning about this stuff.
This is such an education. I feel I hear singers amd music so much better now . Thank you Tara !
I love her when she do riffs and runs like walking in the park
I’ve been a fan of Jess since I was 4 she’s just so talented but yet so underrated 🥺
Loved this reaction - I've watched her version of this so many times plus many reactions and yours is by far my fave. So technical and detailed! Was worried you were gonna criticise the 'fry/cracky/grit' top high note but I absolutely love it and glad you said it was intentional/added to the emotion.
Would love you to react to Jeremy Jordan 'Losing My Mind' - it's a beautiful version of a theatrical song, but not as well known as some things people are probably commenting. Think you'd have a lot to say on it :)
Tara not only you amaze us with your incredibly resourceful reviews but your stunning beauty and upbeat personality takes us on a beautiful trip every time. Great job as usual!
I love Jessie so much. You should check out her version of Purple Rain. If you haven’t already heard it. Love your commentary.
up
I love your commentary, and your impeccable fashion sense. You are beautiful, blessed, and much appreciated.
Please react to Lara Fabian you won't be disappointed she's so amazing!
You can literally react to any song of her she's serving great vocals in every one of them lol
Tom Q omg yes! She needs to react to je suis malade
@@keithharrell1611 or Adagio
or Broken Vow!!
Thomas PH omg I love that one
Dustin aka dtcsk broken bow isn’t my favorite buts it’s still phenomenal
YEESSSSSSSS idk what else to say i have been WAITING for more jessie j
Sweet, more JJ. 😊 Thank you. Another excellent breakdown, Coach Tara. 👍 I learned a few things. What you said about making choices and taking technical risk reminds me somewhat of what Sohyang said about singing technical all the time may interfere with the message of the song, so it's necessary sometime to not be technically perfect, to achieve a more desirably artistic effect on occasions. Maybe you can catch some of those moments, and break them down for us.
JJ did great here. She's visibly pale and looks tired because she went against her doctor and performed anyway. She missed the week prior because of her congenital heart defect acting up. The song took an entirely different meaning because of that.
For your future JJ reaction, _"Purple Rain"_ or _"Killing Me Softly"_ would be great, both still from "Singer 2018" too, ofc. Or, you can do Dimash again, like _"Adagio"_ (from "Singer 2017") or his latest _"Sinful Passion"_ would be a good choice. For Sohyang, the best chance to catch her being vulnerable is probably in her more more emotional performances like _"Where Are You"_ ( vimeo.com/254194327 ) or _"Hug Me"_ ( vimeo.com/240094506 ). I put the Vimeo links because the videos in RUclips for those performances have interruptions with interview in the middle of the performance, even cut short/halved outright. 🙄😲
Thanks so much Tara! Love your reactions! Keep being awesome! Sorry I missed that lesson that you gave for free last night. Please do another one like that!!
The Singer is the same show Dimash competed on in 2017, she actually won this year. For more Celine you should do Dimash “all by myself”.
uppp
I love listening to your loving technical analysis Tara
I am a sucker for Jessie J, but please do another Dimash Kudaibergen react! Preferably sinful passion😊
I have been singing my whole life and have a lot of fans with no voice lessons. I’m so amazed at the things I was doing that you talk about here that I didn’t even know!! Your so informative!! Can’t wait to watch more. Gonna soak in all I can!! Jessie J just owned that song. She is amazing!! Really enjoyed your reaction to the song!!
So Hyang Everyone, Dimash sinful passion and Jessie J flashlight/earth song. They blew my mind.
Tara this time i am speechless ! I just loved what you said and i have nothing to add other than she was fantastic !!!!
i had no idea how perfect of a singer she is. one of the best in the world.
🙌🏻🙌🏻
You are an amazing vocal coach, so much correct, clear and fluent in explaining details. Great job done👏👏👏👏👏
She had just flown in against doctors recommendation because she was super sick (Not like a flu type thing, but severe abdominal pain and stuff) and you can kinda see it in her performance, and her facial expression. She even said that the whole time she was just focusing on not passing out. She is amazing ❤️
Thank you for finally being able to to this video ,absolutely worth the wait! ❤️
I have to remember you that Jessie was not 100% at this performance. She had just arrived in China after going back to UK to treat her heart disease. She fainted during the rehearsals, went to UK to be treated by her doctors and then went back to China to sing this song. She even said that during the performance all she could think was "don't faint, don't faint".
that's what real competence looks like! great job Tara, I'm officially a fan of yours.
I cant believe she was sick . What a lady 💪🏻
You're living art! I can listen and watch you forever.
Just found your channel and have watched a few videos. I can tell you really love what you do. I’ve always wanted to sing but I know my vocals are all over the place. Interested in your 8 week course!
I love Jesse J. I am a singer myself..ive not sung for a while and want to get back into it. I just ran into your video for the first time. Great video
Hay coach.. thanks for the lesson.. love it.. and you so pretty 😍😍🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love your breakdown!! It’s like you read my mind but just know how to put it into words 👌👌 very professional!
Jessie J: a
Me: goosebumps
That was such an amazing performance 🥵❤️
Facts 👏🏾👏🏾
beautiful woman, beautiful voice!!!
