I prefer 0:00 - 5:09, but 0:00 - 5:09 is good to

[@BRLambert4]

I just recently stumbled across Renee Rapp on RUclips, but have been a long time fan of Natalie. I just watched Renee's rendition of Dancing on my Own. I couldn't help but think of Natalie while I watched bc I saw some of her technique she has used with students used hand motions etc.. Seeing this duo made me see if Natalie worked with Renee in the past and looks like she did and then this song is perfect!

[@sydneytopoleski8671]

[@livloren1077]

holy shit

[@Rosannasfriend]

I feel like Natalie needed to calm down towards the end and allow Renee to do some more adlibs.

[@suttonseverance1893]

3:46 omg

[@andrewdelodance7864]

Ms. Weiss was going to make each and every riff, run, and lick happen, no matter what, from the entrance of the chorus until the end. I admire the way she sang each riff, run, and lick to historical perfection, one after the other with nary a moment to think, while conducting, and then admonishing, and then encouraging, an audience participation chorus (likely drunken), and cueing the lovely Ms. Rapp for each riff, run, and lick, but then singing them herself anyway. In this same situation, I would have made every effort I have ever had in my life to do the exact same thing, but it would never approach anything as well done as this. I would likely match her hysteria.

[@not_roseflower]

I WAS NOT PREPARED

[@migueltriana3288]

Is ms. Rapp a mezzo? Im asking i don't know.

[@Ginisss]

I would think so

[@_crystallize_]

She’s actually an alto!

[@mar-ui2sr]

@@_crystallize_ Alto is a choral classification, not a voice type. She's either definitely a mezzo soprano or a soprano.

[@natasharomanoff2164]

i would think a soprano because of how high she can belt, and i believe her high notes are typically stronger than her low notes. but she may be a mezzo soprano.

[@franss7554]

Wait this was Renee Rapp 😩🙃 I didn’t realize at the time
