    The Weeknd's voice is so amazing. I used to be one of the purists who only raved about his early trilogy mixtapes but his more poppy later phase grew on me. I appreciate both sounds now.

    GREAT reaction/analysis Beth!! I'm typically a rock, metal, prog guy, but I love anything that can make me move - and this song epitomizes that (much like MJ's Billie Jean!). This song immediately grabbed my attention - the groove and his voice - WOW!
    I first got into The Weeknd from his collaboration with Daft Punk on Starboy (would be good for a reaction!). I love the music he creates - and it doesn't hurt that he's a fellow Canadian!
    Cheers!

    • @Hibbs4Prez
      @Hibbs4Prez Месяц назад +3

      Get a grip. Martin's team did most of the leg work. Martin likely spent little time on this compared to The Weeknd and the rest. Stop trying bro take away credit from The Weeknd because what you wrote can be applied to virtually every artist with a hit song.
      And this video is about The Weeknd's singing delivery. Did Martin have anything to do with that?

    First time I heard this song I was super confused, like it was very 80's but not completely, it also sounded modern at the same time. I have not heard it before so I was sure it was not 80's hit but it sounded too 80 to be new... I had to google it and was shocked when found out it was a new song.

    Also...something that niggles at my brainstem when I watch a reaction/analysis video, is when the host refers to certain segments of a song, an *"ad lib"*
    Can something truly be considered an, *ad lib* if it is used in studio AND regularly on stage?

    He truly is a generational talent, you have to check the “Alone Again” VEVO Live Performance that one is great, my mom and I would really love to see more of him in your channel, my mom has a disease that’s affecting his memory, so she’s learning English (we’re Mexicans) she loves music and vocal education so she really loves your content and it also helps her with her classes to get involved in something she loves with your beautiful accent ✨ thank you so much for the joy your content brings to this home🫶🏼
    Ps. The live performance of Save your tears with Ariana Grande is also great to coach about voice greatness

    don't get me wrong i like some of "his" songs. But in the singing spectrum who the hell is he??? I quoted his because we know most artists don't even write their songs. Same with most singers today. Who is Taylor Swift? I'll give away Lady Gaga, i think she's good, but in the last 20 years who has come up (i'm not mentioning Dimash's and those like him who don't have representation in global sales) that can be considered a singer that will always be remembered???? yep.........

  • @timcarder2170

    I dunno.
    Never understood the popularity of this song.
    It just sounds so, for the lack of a better word, redundant.
    I keep feeling like it's filled with major parts of other songs from the mid 70s or mid 80s, but cant put a finger on which?
    The familiarity is maddening.
    And not a fan of that tinny (almost vocoder) sounding type of vocalizations.
    **edit**
    Couldn't tell you what other songs he has..I almost never listen to pop radio stations anymore.
    And the few times I do, the lack of originality between songs usually sends me to the tuner, or the off switch.

  • @MichaelTaylor-qp8hy
    @MichaelTaylor-qp8hy Месяц назад

    To do a vocal analysis of this performance, praise the *difficulty* of it, and just completely ignore the obvious use of autotune (and other effects) throughout the entire number, is disappointing and makes the analysis not credible at all. These tools make it profoundly EASIER to sound great and eliminate so much of the skill truly "great" singers need. And the reasons these tools are used is because he is NOT actually a great singer.
    Sorry, just reporting the truth here.

    • @Sir_Fenity
      @Sir_Fenity Месяц назад +2

      I'm sorry but this just isn't true. Whether he is using autotune or not here I can't say, but there are plenty of videos of him singing acoustically and he sounds amazing. Adding vocal effects is not the same as autotune

    • @dinosaurgamer8791
      @dinosaurgamer8791 Месяц назад

      Say what you want about him but he is a great singer just because he uses auto tune very small amounts if not any in some cases shows how great he truly is.
