@@thereef118 Well, I think hes unique in his style, its just amazing how he sees the music and rythm in everything, and his ability to play every instrument is impressive. Its just my opinion, maybe hes overrated but I think he deserves all the attention he receives :)
The first step is to be shocked, the second one is to get frustrated while trying to understand what he does... It requires so much knowledge in music theory, it's incredible. Goal.
How could you have known what steps I wrote about. Maybe genius follows even what's written about Jacob Collier. On the day that you were born the Angles got together and God decided to create another dream come true. Please pass the tender young age of 33. WHAT a truly violent age for him to be born in, but maybe, just maybe his music could change the EVIL HEARTS OF MANKIND. Pray on this...it could work.!!!
Every now & then the spirit dimension spits out a Jacob Collier. If it didn't there would be a rip in the space time continuum. Like in the star wars saga there are others, but it's Jacobs time at the present. Yessir!!! 👍
@@quentinsorrentino9857 Basically he is very good at music, can sing really precisly even notes that are a single few hz apart(not normal western music notes) He has insane knowledge of music theory and can apply it to get these harmonies. You dont have to know what all he does works but if you are already used to hearing more complex music his music probably blows that out the water, atleast in terms of raw harmony. Im pretty sure not a lot of people actually like him for understanding what it is but for just it being different and impressive. Its not that easy to create all these with barely even having a refrence
Your reactions are LITERALLY HOW I FEEL and the best part is you haven’t scratched the surface!!!!! His original compositions.....WHEEEEWWWW LAWD let’s not get me started today
He’s amazing. It makes me sad knowing nothing I did in my life as a musician will ever come close to even these 10 second little tidbits. He’s touched by God.
the harmonies are overwhelming in the sense where there is so much beauty to it that my brain cannot process all of it as 1 sound coming in my ears. I want to focus on the soprano but the tenor is so beautiful and i don't want to let go of the bass and here comes the alto....i don't know which one to focus on.....lol
Collier is a musical genius, in addition, many of his insane harmonies are reminiscent of the iconic gospel/jazz acapella group, 10 time Grammy Award-winning Take 6. Who he mentions is one of his great influence and he eventually sang with.
I heard Jacob tell of his childhood growing up, and how his mother was always encouraging, but in a focused sort of way... she suspected he had perfect pitch, so when she would turn on the vacuum cleaner(in Britain they call it the 'hoover,') she would ask him what pitch the hoover was humming to...and he nailed it of course...(it was a G, if you were curious, lol)
I have seen this on release and rewatching this now is still insane! Its unreal how it becomes more rich, more emotional with jacob's take on it! Truely bless to live in the same time as this man
Jacob Collier is just a super blessed guy. About 5 years ago I was introduced to the magic Collier possesses I would be honored to rear what additive chords he would play over the twenty five chords like in giant steps just played slow adding his own interpretation. Ready set go!!! This dude without doubt is a genius!, what word suits J.C. BETTER. !!! The initials in his name go together so uniformitively. Never mind, after I heard what he magically did to Geogia on my Mind I feel stupid. This would be a big nothing for J.C. to do!!! A BIG NEVER MIND!!! FORGIVE ME!!!
Yeah man, he’s so good, he’s above any kind of criticisms anyone could attempt to throw at him. I don’t even take his critics seriously, they’re just miserable bastards.
Not a big fan of “over-singing” and excessive runs but the guy at 7:00 kept it simple and had a great, smooth, singing voice. Harmonies took it to the next level.
and that's not even scratching the surface of his writing, arranging, playing on EVERY SINGLE FUCKING INSTRUMENT, mixing, live performance, music theory research, rythm and improvisation abilities
I didn't read any of the comments but I will say that the harmonies that I heard seem to replicate that of Take 6. However, I will admit that that is nothing to Snuff at being that their harmonies are tight and quite difficult. Kudos! But not on authenticity
There would be no Einstein without Newton. Jacob Collier is a genius innovator, Bach is at the very foundation. Beethoven once said that Bach is the ocean and all other composers are the fish. So I would agree that Jacob Collier can be compared to Einstein if Bach is Newton.
O M FREAKING G, Avery Wilson/Jacob😍 But Marc when you grabbed that guitar, i lost it😄😃😄 i get it, its like the group Take 6 on steroids ×10 unbelievable 👍# lovetrain all day.
Stop that! Yes, Jacob is very good, but Take 6 is legend...you can't compare. To get a grasp, do listen to the best songs of Take 6, from their first album, to "He is Christmas" album, among others. Jacob is clearly not as versatile, creative, and mature in his harmonies.
@@albertmarki.8743 Never heard Take 6 sing microtonally or modulate to mid keys. If you';ve ever watched him go through a recording process, he can slow down the recording, sing the chordal harmonies, speed up the recording and be perfectly in tune two octaves above.
Let's have fun with this indeed. Bro, your facial expression are too much! Congrats on your channel. I first saw Jacob on RUclips before Quincy Jones signed him. You're right. I was KNOCKED OUT. I've even taken a few of his piano licks to learn on guitar. Good stuff man. SICK VIDEO. Keep on keeping on.
This just about wraps up the question of wether there will be anyone as brilliant as Mozart, Bach, and who knows what COMBINED... The world's blessed yet one more time!
ROTFLH!!!! DUDE!!! IM IN TEARS WITH THIS REACTION!!!! after avery wilson I had to stop and comment here... Oh my god... that was exactly my reaction at the time this went out.... i almost fainted for real. LOL.... dude, youre fun.
@@jacemusica you can judge a musician by the actual music they put out. If we're comparing that then I think they are both just as "good". Alot of people I feel like enjoy Jacob Collier just for the genius and though put in but don't necessarily actually "like" the music the same way somebody likes a band. I feel as though Sam Robson is more accessible. Different styles of music regardless. Not much point in comparing apples to oranges. But I love Sam robsons vocalism.
Harmony: *exist*
Jacob: This needs more harmony
After listening to Jacob Collier:
It´s never too late to learn to knit ........
Ann84056 you made me laugh so hard I almost choked lololok
*Jacob Collier is the Jacob Collier of our generation*

Not only does he sound good by himself. He makes others sound good too. That's next level musicianship.
That's a whole new level
no, that's just a real bassist spirit!
Jacob Collier is an algorithm
I'm so mad at you for that genius comment!
What if he is actually a super advanced AI cyborg that chose to be a musical genius?
Pious Devil that's some brilliant commenting right there. 😁
DAMN u NAILED it

He is the Jacob of Collier
I like that lol
As do I... and 38 other people
If you think he’s good at singing wait till you see all the instruments he can play lol

7:10 is the song I request to be played as I walk thru the gates of heaven...my goodness!!! I straight almost went into a flat out worship session
Same!!! 🙌
At 2:00, I dropped everything and scoured the interwebs for an "Avery Wilson".

What did you find?
He’s amazing
I'm glad you found him! He's a true talent too! Have you heard of Yebba? Right up there with him!
@@jazzambientertainment Yes!!!!
Your face is EXACTLY what I feel
7:34 - 7:41 chords remind me of a plane finally reaching 10,000 feet.
Ntrakit Six such beautiful melodies!!!!!
I can’t get the image out of my head now 😭
one of the notes in the final chord (D) and (B) are part of this sound on the plane
@@AmericanMose which one?
@@ntrakit6 The Plane flying
Who also checked out Avery Wilson after this
Mee
Been on Avery when he was on vine
Yes😄
Yup lol
Super talented but unnecessary in my opinion lol
i'm pretty sure that jacob will composed for a Disney movie
Yeah Disney is gonna find a way to buy him , they buy everything 😂
He worked for the Boss Baby soundtrack. Not Disney though.
He had already recycles 1 song from Disney, under the sea. Go check it out, it is fun
He's Mickey Mouse band himself.
Remember in his version of Moon River the last part is in a key that doesn't technically exist
It exists because you heard it... if it didn't exist it wouldnt be able to be done. But he did it, therefore it exists. I just hadn't ever been done.
@@ForeverAbroad he’s talking about it being in a semi tone
Your reactions are LITERALLY HOW I FEEL and the best part is you haven’t scratched the surface!!!!! His original compositions.....WHEEEEWWWW LAWD let’s not get me started today
Hahaha it’s crazy how good he is
@@MarcMcMillon React to Moon River please. Look up the version by someone named June Lee. She writes out what he does as a transcritption
He’s amazing. It makes me sad knowing nothing I did in my life as a musician will ever come close to even these 10 second little tidbits. He’s touched by God.
6:40 in, Andrew Russel has such beautiful voice. It’s so controlled and easy. They really blended well together
His harmonization sounds like listening to take6
Take 6 in one man... #ClearTalent
Thank you... I just had to drop that comment on here. All this stuff is all the Seventh day Adventist styles... Brian McKnight, All 4 One etc.
Accurate!
He sad in an interview that he was inspired by them!
Random Workings He’s worked with them and they’re on his album.
Yep. He reminds me of the musicianship of Bobby McFerrin.
....and Take 6. Deep.
His ear for harmonies is absolutely amazing 🙌🏾😩🙌🏾😩
If you love this harmonies then you really need to listen to Take 6.
You may want to listen to The Singers Unlimited since they were harmonizing like this in the 70's
Right. Jacob is talented but it’s not like he’s the first person to arrange harmonies before.
Alter call begins @6:40 - 7:42 ......MY Gawd.....felt that in my shondo!
🙌🏾
Same 😂😂
HE. IS. AN. ALIEN. HE. IS. NOT. FROM. THIS. PLANET.
I heard this comment somewhere I think on bet somebody was commenting on Tonex/BSLADE
That violin harmony gave me chills in spots I didn’t know I could get
I actually shed a few tears on that one....but don't tell anybody 🤐
I was seriously moved by it. I didn’t expect it.
@@SweetsE1983 me too
That intro was crazy. Gave me chills.
Was a regular Saturday church service at Oakwwod University...Jacob is amazing but he sounds alot like Take 6
Oakwood Stand-up!!
Not surprising really since Jacob has said multiple times he takes a lot of inspiration from take 6 and has even done a song with them
And Take 6 got their sound from The Singers Unlimited
Saw Jacob Collier at the Royal Albert Hall in London and was so thoroughly mesmerised, I am still not recovered.
Thank You Marc, for spotlighting this true genius, literally cried tears of true JOY. Everyone who contributed was fantastic as well...oh my! Love Is.
Jacob is an Alien... There is no way, dude is sick🔥🔥🔥🔥
Chuck Norris: "Jacob Collier? Hold muhh..."
Chuck Norris: "..."

As I’ve said on another post, Jacob is one of the greatest thing to happen to music.
He’s got a major crush on him
I highly respect JACOB COLLIER for his celestial talent yet humble🙏 character
Thank you! You are the first person to react to these. And I havnt even watched you react yet. But thank you.
You gon react to the full iharmu volumes? Coz this was great hahah

uses lots of suspended chords to bring you in and then turns them into major chords to resulting in a great resolution. makes it kind of jazzy too.
