Watch the Tom Misch Tiny desk next! It's full of sweet grooves and John Mayer has a solo! Appreciate you!
Hey Charles you should really make a video of Mrs. Magic by strawberry guy it’s really amazing to listen to.
You should check out the Over the Garden Wall soundtrack!
I LOVE YOU MAN, WE SHARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THOUGHTS
Try the Blue Man Group tiny desk
The're hilarious i'd love to see you react to that😁
Charles laughing at "bad ass bitch" both times kills me lmao
Ikr🤣
I mean he's not wrong, hearing that line delivered in that way is one of the best musical jokes I've ever heard. Up there with Ben folds version of bitches ain't shit. (Not just the lyrics, but hearing Bieber himself singing those words in that way)
i started laughing just as he did and it was the best
This killed me also 😂
This is basically how I feel every time I hear a JB song. Hysterical laughter, followed by intense sobbing.
Anderson Paak’s tiny desk is the best, no question
I may or may not have a list I'm working on for a video...and that one may or may not be on it
@@CharlesCornellStudios 🔫 Mac Miller
Agreed! Jon Batiste is up there as well.
I like Esperanza Spalding’s
I can't deny, however Tyler the creator is my favourite
Charles - Careful with NPR. They don’t just block, they’ll give you a strike. Good job trimming it enough to not get auto flagged!

So much for “public” radio!! We pay for them to be on air!!!
normal people: song
classical musicians: piece
jazz musicians: TUNE
Not what'd you'd expect considering playing in tune is optional in jazz
@@TheRedstonedeluxe I don't think you've ever played any jazz to say something like this because playing in key and playing in tune is totally not the same thing...
Oh, Jim.
@@jas_bataille I was just joking, and I am majoring in jazz piano and love jazz. But for real though, if you listen to like the original Donna Lee recording, you can hear that playing in tune wasn't the focus.
I thought it was a good joke, I laughed
"No harmonies... Right now he's the only one singing."
Everyone : "Make sense."
Jacob Collier : "... I don't get it?"
Hi Charles, I wish I had something funny to say, but sometimes sincerity is refreshing, I guess. I think I speak for everyone when I say your content _really_ brightens my day and inspires me as a musician--and as someone that would totally just love to converse with you over a coffee. Thanks for all of this, we really appreciate you, and don't stop doing what you love, ever!
A very articulate way of saying what I was thinking, thank you.
Well put Kinan! Thanks indeed Charles!
I just imagined: what if Justin B wrote this comment.
The funniest part of this video is how everything that Charles says can be brought down to “yea… justin’s cool, but OMG THAT BAND!!”
Pop music gets so much better when it's played by live musicians
👍🏼 Some of the best stuff was MTV Unplugged. Now we have Tiny Desk :)
"You cant polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter"
Yes and no. I mean Justin’s production team is the best of the best, this combined with the good songwriting makes a fully produced Song a pure delight to listen to. At least for me
Yup. A good band with a great arranger/leader is GOLD for any artist. This band is infusing so much soul it's ridiculous
I really think it depends, I've seen live pop music where I felt like a backing track would've have been better audio experience. Also as a producer, pop music has some of the tightest production around. Sometimes it can be bland af, but there's definitely songs that I'm impressed by the production on.

Justin Bieber's voice is out of this world. Love you king 👑👑👑👑👑👑.
I know you’ve looked at Jacob Collier before, but both of his tiny desk concerts, especially his latest one where he used 4 different tracks to play everything himself, are amazing and you should definitely react to his last one.
I love JC, I have heard maybe 95% of what you can find online made by him, but Im not a fan of the last tiny desk concert. I dont know, there is something lacking on it. Im gonna hear it again to be sure what it may be.
Im back and now I remember what it is, 2 of his clones where singing the same voice in All i need, and I dont know... it was different to what he usually does, and the microphone sometimes recorded some stuff a little bit off (especially the hang drum, which sounded soooo far and some of its magic was lost). Im talking in contrast to all his other songs where he uses every oportunity to add an harmony and recording every sound as perfect as possible, so it was weird hearing him doing that. I think he should have added a 5th clone just singing. Anyway, of course I like it anyway, but its not on my playlist (while normal All I need its on the start always hehe)
Sebastian Bueno
Yeah I can see that, and it’s really a personal opinion I guess but I just love that he was able to add something different to his already complex music, and make it a little simpler without all the big harmonies. It sounded very live and I loved it
@@EstamosDe I've always preferred Jacob's more stripped music and live performances, so that one was a hit for me. Makes sense you wouldn't like it as much if you're more into his big arrangements - we're just finding the magic in different places.
@@duncanrobertson6472 Noo, thats not it. The arrangment that cautivated me to listen all his work was indeed live. Im not talking about all his life stuff. "All I Need" in Jimmy Fallon and ¿Kennel? was perfect, its about the musical choices in the last tiny desk (the first had some little issues also, but that may come because he was playing with more people).
Im not someone to talk about musical choices, Im not even a noob, but I can compare different things using my taste as reference. My only comment is: why using 2 clones singing the same notes (sort of), and why the microhpones sounded so bad. In all his other live performances its weird to see him choosing doing that.
A lot of Justin’s newer music has been written/produced by Jon Bellion and it definitely shows. Jon is musically on a differently level than a lot of artists.
Yeah that little piano phrase Charles first highlights at around 2:13 sounds very Jon bellion
Absolutely, imo his best tracks by far were written by Jon. As soon as I heard the beginning of Ghost I thought of Jon and saw that he wrote it.
I think what is also happening music wise and little details around how the band plays is: Church. The influence of church music from different styles that I hear in his songs and playing of the band is huge. Also noted that he found himself surrounding church bands.
Yep 💯
When JB is concentrating so hard hitting the right notes on his board and you just bang it out so confidently .. it's impressive :)
how the heck are you doing so much you absolute god of work ethic
Jon Bellion wrote Holy and has writing credits on Anyone, he is an incredible producer/songwriter/performer and I'd love to see you react to some of his music
This ^^^^^^
Yes!! that would be awesome please do that!!
Jon bellion is the real JB. lol hes great
Yes! I was going to comment the same thing. Charles, please review The Human Condition!
Yes
One of the best thing's Justing Bieber's put out recently is that Yummy jazz remix!
Tom Misch’s tiny desk concert is the best imo i keep coming back to it from time to time 😂
Absolutely!!
Just wait for hiatus kayote !
I would love to see your reaction to T-Pain’s tiny desk concert since you loved the “badass bitch” line.
Also very happy that you launched a piano course. This makes an instrument I’ve always wanted to learn to play so much more accessible. Once I get a beginners piano, I’ll definitely be purchasing the course.
“Playing within your means” 😂😂😂 my man is really out here roasting Bieber lmao
His “Change Me” song is something worth listening to from a jazz perspective
Your talent and musical proficiency combined with how pretentious you AREN'T is a refreshing and rare quality. Loved this.
My favorite tiny desk is T-Pain's. The beauty of his voice is so unexpected, and the soul he brings to the performance is awesome.
I saw you're working on another tiny desk video, it would be awesome if you discuss it!
Holy is one JB’s best songs, but then again this is a Jon Bellion song.
Eh I love them both but Jon’s my all time favorite
But it’s his voice :)
A friend sent a clip of this song in a voice message. The missus looks at me expectantly, like "whatcha think?"
"This is terrible."
"Yup!"
@@nickwallette6201 slow claps
This is one of my least fave songs from Justin 😂
Justins tiny desk is definitely my favorite one..this is him live..I know people think he uses auto tune but he sounds exactly the same as when he does Instagram live and sings..sometimes he sounds better than on the actual studio produced songs..you know his voice is good when it sounds exactly the same live as it does on the record!! His new album JUSTICE is probably his best work yet..its absolute PERFECTION!! Hes actually self taught on the piano so I think he does amazing..and PEACHES acoustic is absolutely beautiful!! His talent is undeniable and I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves..especially with the success of PEACHES and JUSTICE!! 🍑
For sure, many of us musicians tend to be critical of main stream music. Nice to hear Justin do something different.
What?
what?
What?
The reason you like Holy is because it’s a Jon Bellion song (he performed it on his 2019 tour), check him out, dude goes crazy with the amount of musical depth in his songs.
Totally agree. I commented about Jon before reading your post. Jon has definitely made Justin’s recent hits and as a fan, it’s great to see Jon getting some more shine. I’d love for him to release a new album though haha
Please react to Kirk Franklin's tiny desk! Musically I think it is miles above all of the other ones and that's saying a lot because there are a lot of great options
That was SO good! The whole band was brilliant.
yes! please this
YESSS
Oh man. Kirk franklin is so so nostalgic. Legend
I have never listened to tiny desks before, definitely will be now, especially Anderson Paaks and Jacob Colliers by looking at the comments. You have widen my music taste so much.
I can relate to your comment so much :)
More Tiny Desk analyses, please, MOOOOOOORE !!!
I second that!
The piano solo part reminds me of when my choir teacher in high school made us perform a vocal jazz piece solo for our course final...and insisted we put a scatting/improve section in it somewhere but didn't teach us anything about techniques/music theory/where to start... Needless to say, mine was awful and looking back she easily could've just mentioned to build off the chords in the song? I wish I had your videos back then!
Really not a Justin Beiber fan, but I love Tiny Desk! Aurora and Väsen might be my faves. Not one of them, but I think you'd get a kick out of looking at the harmonies of Karen Han and Brian David Gilbert's "We Like Watching Birds"
AURORA!!!
@@user-km9bx3gf3z Admittedly, I don't love her music, except for the acoustic versions. Those I could, and do, listen to on repeat
Same
My favorite Tiny Desk was from Tank And The Bangas. Their live performances almost always sound different.
I second this
Never got hooked by Justin's lyrics but the vibe got me a few times !
The tiny desk of Tedeschi trucks band is just incredible
this was my favorite performance of his did such a great job!! hes amazing!
This incredible band is WeTheBand! They are monster players.
The Tom Mish Tiny Desk and Bill Frisell are on par for the best ones of all time in my opinion
Yes!! Tom Misch Tiny Desk is one of my top favourite as well along with Mac Miller and Kirk Franklin's.
The there is a transition between songs in the Tom Misch tiny desk that literally gives me goosebumps every time. So good
@@morkmon indeed very very cool. I recommend the Bill Frisell tiny desk (the one he does solo). It's some of the best live music I have ever heard!
@@alexisvorstman125 I will take a look!
LIANNE LA HAVAS!!! Please watch Lianne La Havas' Tiny Desks, she is PHENOMENAL! Her sultry voice, finger-picking abilities, lyricism....she's the whole package.
+1
She is amazing, literal goddess, I love her guitar playing
Absolutely, yes please!
My inverted keys hoodie arrived today and it is such a good hoody so thanks :)
Underrated gems of Tiny Desk concerts:
1. Tom Misch (best summer vibes, immaculate production, juicy guitar riffs)
2. Tom Misch x Yussef Dayes (one most musical drummers on the planet, includes a surprise guitar solo by John Mayer)
3. Jordan Rakei (amazing vibrato in his voice, amazing transition between songs in the middle)
4. GoGo Penguin (instrumental jazz trio but also kinda inspired by electronic music? its very nice)
5. Goat Rodeo (includes yo-yo ma, chris thile, do i need to say more)
It was a great performance in my opinion , some new chord to add a new perception of what those songs mean, i love it, thanks for reacting man!!
You should really check out Cody Fry. He incorporates so much classical and jazz influences to a pop sound. And he arranges and orchestrates all his stuff and a lot of others.
Thank you for your support i just wanna take this opportunity to appreciate you, I read all your comments here before I messaged you as the luckiest fans, I will like to share something important information with you if you don't mind just contact me personally on my Gmail address, or feel free to add me up on hangouts with this gmail, (Justingbie48b@gmail.com) God bless you!! ♥️
@@user-wb6ty3gb1z oh please. You ain’t the Biebs.
@@user-wb6ty3gb1z lmaoooo
Cody Fry is flippen amazing!
Let me just say that Masego's Tiny Desk is sublime
Everytime I listen to it I must listen to it more than once, back to back
Goosebumps every second
You should check out the 8-Bit Big Band!
👍🏼Or The Consouls - both are so deserving of more attention.
I feel like a lot of the big pop sensations from the late Naughts and early '10s are branching out into genres that feel more authentic to their styles/passions/personalities, whether it's Miley Cyrus going rock, Taylor Swift embracing folk, or Justin Bieber leaning more into R&B. I love it, and it's gotten me way more engaged with pop music lately.
Great analysis btw, as always ^_^
I totally agree with you. I think the strong suit of this performance isn't so much the song writing or harmonic complexity, but the level of skill at which the basic writing is performed. The band is so tight.
If you need a good tiny desk recommendation: Hadestown (folky, jazzy, indie-pop-ish musical retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice)
ABSOLUTELY YES YES YES THATS MY FAVORITE TINY DESK CONCERT :DDDD
YES
THIS is the kind of content that should be all over RUclips.
you’ve got to listen to and review ALICIA KEYS and H.E.R.’s tiny desks. they’re two of the best tiny desks ever. so much musicality and piano-gasm from both performances, you would love it.
100% agreed. Alicia Keys Tiny Desk is mind blowing
Justin has played the piano since the beginning of his career, literally 🫡
This should definitely be a series Charles where you check out a tiny desk every week or month or something. Bc I want to see more like this but also other content.
I’ve been self teaching my self piano for about 3 years now but I just started jazz lessons, so thank you for being an inspiration!🔥
Self teaching yourself is a tautology
I don't think he gets enough recognition for his vocal improvisation.
I feel like this concert really stretches the definition of "tiny desk"
Kirk franklin Tiny desk is amazing. The bass player is just rippin. The whole band is amazing, and the vibe is good.
oi you should check out some of Cory Wong's stuff, reckon you'd like it
or Vulfpeck rather. Those cats got some funky beats and phenomenal arrangements
Speaking of funky cats, Thundercat’s pretty fly too
Golden with Cody Fry is insane
@@joelsweet2302 I was personally thinking about Lee, but yeah golden is phenomenal
@@joelsweet2302 Golden is actually by Marti Fischer, it's called "Bernstein Gold" and an instrumental track. Cory used it as a base for Golden.
Thank you for helping me to understand a perspective about the music industry, that gets pop songs to such popularity. Didn’t get why songs like these made it so far up before this video really.
I love Justin his new album is amazing can't wait to see him live in April
Man, I clicked on the video to hear you talk about the bass part tying the bridge and chorus together! So smooth, and didn't see it coming! Sometimes little walkups like that are so fresh.
i can´t believe you´ve just upload this video, you´re the best!
Huge fan from argentina right here, keep it up!

The Tiny Desk Concert?
Oh yes, we do that.
On the desk.
*chuckles slowly then more quickly in Gogol Bordello*
thanks for this. I can be too big of a hipster sometimes and think pop music = talentless. You're the one who really got me to look at Billie Eillish through a different lense and now she's one of my favorites ♥
*Eilish, but I'm glad you love her! She's my favorite too.
@@bermar229 It was a gamble 😂 I knew it wasn't three Ls for sure!
@@UncleCatfish Haha! It's totally fine! What matters is that you appreciate her talent!
I've always said it's absolutely FINE if you don't enjoy a particular artist or genre, but you gotta keep you ears and heart open. As cliche as that may sound. I had a similar experience with Billie.
@@PaulMab9 Very true. I mean, I love her, but I did not like bad guy at all(I do now) and I only started liking her when I saw her other work, where she showed her vocal skills.
Congrats on your Academy !! 🙌🙌✨✨
Charles couldn't agree more about bands shaking it up for a live show and giving custom intros/outros and improvised solos. Jamiroquai had some really awesome concerts in the 90s that incorporates musicians getting to flex a bit for the live show. Look up "Jamiroquai - Live in Tokyo, Ebisu 1995" if you wanna hear some funk. They have a ton of other good live bootlegs too.
There is always something here or there with any artist ....I think he’s great 👍
Khruangbin's tiny desk show was phenomenal.
Plenty for you to analyze, music theory wise. Mark Speer, their guitarist, is a wizard. Super unique player.
The Christian Scott Tiny desk concert is one of my favorites
that thing you mentioned at the end about live versus recorded to me that exhibited to me when I saw snarky puppy live it became this funk techno fusion thing when I was used to this progressive jazz sound. but for a setting that was in a small personal club it was really cool
4:55 YESSSS I'm in a Charles Cornell video, this is epic! :)
Best tiny desk is T-Pain no question. Literally hate his music but that is the best tiny desk I've ever seen. What a beautiful voice.
Thats Devon 'Stixx' Taylor on drums. Dude is an absolute beast.
I listened to "Changes" a few months ago because he said it's an R&B album, and I do like R&B. I felt like it made strides towards that, but still relied heavily on a lot of poppy motifs. Overall, there is a lot more groove and interesting musical choices on "Changes". It definitely changed (pun intended) my opinion on him. I'm sure a lot of other people hated him growing up, since that's just what we did back then. I'll have to check out his new album.
One of my favorite tiny desk concerts is Mitski’s, since she is primarily a pianist but she had recently learned guitar specifically for her recent album _Bury Me at Makeout Creek_ so she plays guitar the entire time and to me it’s just really emotionally raw and captivating to watch.
If there's one thing you can say about Bieber is that he is great with melody. Even John Mayer thinks so too
You absolutely have to catch Earth Wind and Fire's Tiny Desk set. They play soooo tight.
Man, the Lake Street Dive tiny desk is the JAM! :) (also, really digging JB's new stuff, he's singing great!)
Anderson Paak, Civil Wars, Anaïs Mitchell, and Chick Corea+Gary Burton are my favourites
Dang. Congrats on the 1 Million subs.
What a mark to hit!!
See you at 2 million.
some casual piano shredding here
You should react to some of anomalies live performances, his music is so unique in his harmony. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.
I love this channel so much
I love your desktop background and the use of color 😳
Hobo Johnson's Tiny Desk is so beautiful, raw, rough and perfect.
Simplicity in the key.... To popularity
You rock, and we've been following you since we found you a couple years ago while out on the road with the national tour of Aladdin. My buddy (also a performer and pianist) intro'd us to you and between your comedic timing, musical talent, and seemingly genuine nature I am SO stoked for the growth. Just wanted to share some love and thank you for the entertainment and info.
-Colt
ps. Just signed up for the academy and in the intro it says "I know you're doing to do great." I assume that's a typo so wanted to bring it to your att.
I've never been this early. My body is ready!
Not sure whatchu mean man but I have also never been this early.

@@user-wb6ty3gb1z go away
Have you ever checked out Joey Alexander’s Tiny Desk?
I like how he talks more about the band than justin
The first song sounds like The Script (with or without will I.am) made love to Van Morrison's "Crazy Love".
Charles, you should take a look at city pop, ! Anri's "Timely!!" is my current favourite album, but I also recommend checking out other major artists (Tatsuro Yamashita, Toshiki Kadomatsu, Mariya Takeuchi, etc.). Then there is the Katsumi Horii Project, some nice jazz fusion that I'll have to relisten.
I'll love to hear you reacting to Jesus Molina, etc. 😍😍😍😘
I really want to see your breakdown of Carly Rae Jepsen’s Tiny Desk!
I don’t know why but I was thinking of the phrase “story of the tune”. I feel like that is something that I find interest in!!😀
I hadn’t realized the tension he’s building in Holy like that, good catch! Would love to hear more thoughts on the different nuggets like that from you! 🙏🏼
I have to say, half alive is great both on release and on tinydesk
From what a lot of well-seasoned musicians say, he’s on a short list of the best composers of vocal melody in the game.
Shows with the little beginner level piano solo that’s phrased really nicely and leads the chords on
5:30 was waiting for two more chords to start the Mr Rogers' "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" theme 😂
Charles I look up to you in music and musical analysis and I started realizing it when I was thinking something and you said it right after... good stuff bro 🔥🔥🙏🏾
