“If I was in a voice lesson with her, I would, number 1 faint”
Honestly same.
PONYO! When he said that I just thought “But who wouldn’t?”
You should listen to her earlier songs, she didn’t use that throaty sound as much. I’d recommend “antología” or “moscas en la casa”
Cristina Cornejo ojos así, Octavo día
Yeah. He should listen to the album "pies descalzos". She was more like a pop rock singer back then and that's the album that made her huge in latin america. She took latin America by storm with "pies descalzos" . And also " donde están los ladrones ", the second album. These were the first two famous albums. She already had her style, the throaty voice, the baby voice and the yoddling (i guess some lebanese style), but she just didnt use those gimmicks as much. You got to hear her clear voice a lot more. And the lyrics were on point too. That's the Shakira i fell in love with, before they dyed her hair blonde and changed her quite a bit to enter the north american market. The crossover was really successfull and I'm glad she made it worldwide but sometimes I still miss my old black-haired Shakira :).
Sam said hes sure she has good vocal coaches helping her and that shes not doing any harm to her voice with her stylistic choices. But she actually had to postpone a whole tour because of her voice. I guess she was not used to so many rehearsals anymore (after having her children) and she started doing too much too fast...
It was funny when he said that first he would faint and then... Lol...

@@anapmusic I only became aware of Shakira, when she entered the US market (in my case European, but outside of Spain you used to rarely hear songs in Spanish) with Whenever, Wherever - and she did have that style, but she didn't use it ALL the time. I actually like her and most of all respect her, but I wish she wouldn't sing 100% with this altered style of her. Thank you for the names of her albums from before, I will make sure to listen to them.
Cristina Cornejo yes, this
I love this guy. He’s so articulate, intelligent and has a kind face
He's super constructive, smart and nice
I love her voice, it’s so unique. She sounds like an instrument 😌
I love shakira haha. I remember her unique voice giving me hope as a kid, that you could sound/be different from literally everyone else and still be adored
@@dalia1598 Indeed, both have gorgeous and original voices that can be easily recognized because of their uniqueness.
Unique isn't bad, unique is likely what helped them become famous 👌💜
Thanks for doing music from a hispanic artist
bermego7 Agreed! 😊
Shakira Is Global!!
Me: *barely speaks spanish*
Me: *cries because she puts noticeable emotion in her performance*
I'm glad that you did this video. Shakira is an interesting case for sure because there's a lot of stylistic choices that she makes.
Some come from south american music, which tends to have a lot more vocal distortions. *I just love* the tone of her voice and the feeling in her songs.
You sound like Kermit when trying to sound like to her
Kermie! It's not easy being green...🎶
Michael Bowen Lmfao everybody who tries to “imitate” her sounds like Kermit The Frog.... I’m starting to realize no one can’t actually do her voice.
LMFAO
😂😂😂
Well, she sounds like Kermit, so...
Btw, I really liked Shakira since the Pies Descalzos days, but back then she didn't overused the yodel.
I have admired Shakira since I can remember. To me she’s one of the best songwriters in the Latin scene that’s one the things that also helped stand out to me at least. I would love to see a vocal analysis on a Juan Gabriel his song “Hasta que te conocí” to me he’s also one of the greatest singers ever. I recommend his live performance at Bellas artes.
omg I would love it if he analyzed a Juan Gabriel he and Shakira have always been some of my favorite singers since I was a kid they're baisicly my idols
I've never really liked Shakira's voice, but I love the lyrics to her older songs in her discography. I think my favorite song would be "Antología"
Hi, can you do an analysis of Florence Welch's vocals? ❤️
That would be AMAZING!
Especially the acoustic performances where you can hear her voice better!
Yessss!!! There's a compilation of her best vocals
Yassss 💜
omg YES PLS
She definitely has a very unique way of singing that isn't for everyone but I have always loved her since I was a kid, she was my Britney Spears.
She said once that as a kid a music teacher told her she sounded like a goat or something. So apparently this is her default but it became a signature so she can't very well change it now.
she kind of does tho
She sounds like THE goat.
Greatest
Of
All
Time
Dialectical Monist LMAO that's TOO MUCH
Thank you for what you do on RUclips. I swear, you are such a nice person, I always think “ be the change you want” whenever I get notification you have posted.♥️✌🏽
I think that her voice is so unique sounding and its executed really well with good control. I love how it sounds
"Reporting live from Sweden" 😂
Thank you for being silly and awesome.
the background is different, now you are holding the mic, will youtube be able to cope with these changes?
La voz de Shakira es única, donde las escuches sabes de inmediato de quien se trata reina latina 👑 saludos de Bogotá Colombia 🇨🇴!
Yesss
De echo Shakira trata de copiar su voz a varias otras artistas no es tan única.
@@mpg6263 jajaja ok si tu lo dices... 🙄
@@mpg6263 envidioso
@@mpg6263 Hasta ahora todos tratan de imitarla, algunos presumiendo "es fácil" pero ninguno lo logra y presumen que con intentar sus melismas, su yodel y prolijas formas vocales ya lo lograron y NO ES ASÍ.
Shakira es única en la música y su estilo, que difícilmente alguien logra acertar en su versatilidad.
You helped me so much with my vocals. I'm a guitar player who is tired of dealing with singers. Just jamming for the wife and kids but it my therapy.
I had no idea that certain vowel shapes are easier for me to hit certain notes. Def not a natural singer but I'm not going to stop practicing
I'm so glad you did a latin artist! I'm curious about the differences in vocal tecnique in english and in spanish. If the voice muscles are used differently and stuff.
The vowels are totall different which creates differences in technique. I would also like him to elaborate on that
You should check "Día de enero" where she does this higher baby voice you mentioned she could do. Also, in "Que me quedes tú" she tones down her signature sound a lot in the verses or you could react and analize "Tú" where she has a clearer sound
When you said there was almost a Cranberries sound, all my head was hearing for the 10-15 seconds I heard "Zombie, Zombie, Zombie..." lol
I love her unique voice, she is amazing😍😍😍
I really love her voice and her sound is so unique!
He actually is in Sweden.
I like how you emphasized the importance of emotional payoff and individuality. This song is a fan-favorite. It's the sound we want to hear and the emotion that we need.
She's never gonna sing more traditionally, and that's okay.
Having said that, she shouldn't be imitated since, as you said, I don't think anyone would get away with sounding like that
Also her song ciega sordomuda is where it’s at ! Love that song .
Marie Rene the good times
Love how she contradicts him as the song goes along 😅
I loved your notes about her style!
I have a question that might not be your cup of tea, but it popped in my mind while you were discussing the “throaty” sounds: could her choice to use these rougher sounds be because she’s singing in Spanish here?
Spanish has rougher phonetics compared to English (imagine words like “abajo” and “hijo”). Her singing style is stunning, but I can’t enjoy her English songs so much, there’s something that I find weird but I couldn’t put my finger on it until now.
Do you have a opinion on this, about a singer choosing one way or another based on the language they’re using?
Thank you!
She also sings with these same techniques when singing in english as well though
No, I don't think so. It's her style.
Listen to Luis Miguel. He sings in Spanish too and he has a clear voice.
Stunning? I dont think so, maybe entertaining but stunning never
Luis Miguel, La incondicional live 😉 love the channel!
La Pared is my favorite song EVER.
I love how shakira does that note
She's have the best voice ever Shakira The Best !
"Speak on Pitch" is a great motto for life or for t-shirts.
04beni04 T-shirts! Yes! Would buy.
Thank you
That‘s really interesting! Great analysis! Thanks, Sam!
I never thought you were going to do Shakira! Love your analysis, you are always a nice person yet real in what you say.
Good reaction
Shakira have one voice unique in the world is so relaxiing
I LOVE THIS SONG THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!! I have literally grown up with shakira almost my life and this is amazing I’m hoping you do more of shakira! Your analysis is very interesting! I don’t know anything about voice but I love these types of videos
I love Shakira! She has many great live performances. You should analyze more of her performances. :)
I love that deep voice of Shakira, she is unique, she has style, 🤗👑💛
Hey Sam! Great to see you. I have you have a great weekend. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with us.
Her voice is unique! You can not teach that!!! I'm sure she is not everyone's favourite but I think she is fantastic!
Wow i love her voice , I always prefer deep voices
I must just say, I really love your videos. They are so objective and educational. Thank you 💕
You are such a likeable person. I love your videos!
Shakira has Grammy for a live MTV unplugged album,so that's that.
Just putting it out there, she really has one of the most unique voice on the planet.
Pikachoo S that album is amazing... thereafter not as much in my opinion...
“I’m sure she doesn’t need me for that, she has someone... Still... It is good to have options.... Just saying.... Nothing against her teacher I’m just.... Gonna leave my number here in case Shakira wants to call me.”
You should react to other hispanic singers like Juan Gabriel, José José, Lupita Dalessio, Luis Miguel, etc. they are really iconic on the latin music culture so it will be really cool if you could react to some of them
Sarai Rodríguez Balderrama De José José deberían ser los videos cuando era jovencito porque es cuando su voz estaba a todo su esplendor.
By the way this ones are not hispanic, they are mexican.
Ja ja solo los conocen en México. ..Shakira es mundial por favor no comparen
Julio Iglesias vs. Enrique Iglesias showdown
LATINOS not hispanic
I think Shak found her signature sound very early in her career, she has a unique sound regardless of how good she is as a singer and it clearly works for her. Her voice isn't that distinctive, but it's the style she's singing in that makes it sound so unique and that's what people in the music industry want to hear, someone who can stand out from the crowd, like if a dude who looks like he belongs in a heavy metal band starts belting out opera songs like he's Pavarotti. Nobody can replace Shakira's unique sound, just like nobody can sing like Cher. Cher performed on the Tonight Show with several actresses who are playing her in a Broadway show, while the actresses did their best at trying to imitate her unique voice, once she stepped out on stage it was unmistakable which voice belonged to her.
Love your new mic Sam!
Sam, I could listen to you talk about any singer all day. I have a list a mile long of people I’d love for you to react to, but mostly I just want you to keep making videos. You are a lovely human being!
How about doing a review of the late Selena.
I love my mix-raced Latin Queen. I love how unique her singing is, and her lyricism is really good. She's also a great role model and social activist. A very intelligent and hardworking woman. What a Legend.
“First: faint” Lol what I love about your videos is that I take away a lot of life lessons through your analysis. Tons of analogies there. If I can live another life I would study vocal pedagogy to the fullest!
Loved the video
Ive been binging on your videos lately & just wanted to say I love it! Def gonna subscribe bc I want to see more. Much love❤️❤️
Loved the video! You speak in a clear way, and I got to understand everything even not knowing anything theoretical about singing. Very good!
I watch your videos constantly and I have no clue why I’m so entertained by this video. I’m actually laughing out loud.
React to Lila Downs, mexican singer amazing.
YES PLEASE!
Yaaaas
I actually really love that sound she does :-/ I'm like, no, Sam, nuuuuuu
I love her voice sooooo much.
I thought she did an interview (when I was waaaay younger) that she was asked why she "does that" with her voice (going to the lower register)and apparently she said that's just the way her voice sounds? It has always been that way? I dunno but that's what my mom told me lol
Awesome analysis as usual Sam 😊 Since you talked a lot about unique stylistic choices, I really want to see you analyze Eivør, I think it would be super interesting to hear your take on her unique vocal techniques because I always wonder why and how she makes the sounds she does.
ImogenCrocker
I didn‘t hear about Eivør before... What a nice voice and great music! - Thanks Imogen!
Thank you for doing this 🥰
You were so focused analysing it and even with your comments and stopping the performance all I could do was cry like I always do when i watch this live
React to "Underneath Your Clothes" acustic by Shakira
Great video! I would love to see you reacting to the live version of "Ojos asi" or "Whenever, wherever" by Shakira 💜
Love Ojos Asi!
She is very versatile with her voice, you just need to see her singing other types of songs
She recently had to post pone her world tour because of an injury on her vocal cords or something like that. She stayed almost a year recovering, so maybe it does harm her. Thanks for your review, Sam!
Even Adele and many other singers have suffered the same. According to Doctors this is likely to happens to singers, teachers and people who are constantly working with their voice. Like overusing it, we need to let the voice rest too
Now SERIOUSLY... You're the freaking best! 💜
every time I hear a crowd singing, my eyes water, iT'S SO EMOTIONAL OMG
I would like more Shakira's reactions please
Very good reaction, very professional all the explanation.
I don't even sing or play music , I just love watching your video's you seem so genuine and kind person Sam,
. thank you for the great work you do.
I LOVE SHAKIRA SO MUCH!
Shakira i love you
I just came to the comments to see if someone commented who the artist from Saturday Night Live was lol but I get, obviously queen Shakira is more important
The last two were Camila Cabello and Taylor Swift...
Billie ?
Nor Taylor, nor Camila wete lipsyncing, so I’m not sure who he meant. 🤷🏻♂️
@@korneliuslastarpoetry749 I think Camila used a technique where they sing parts of verses so you think "Oh, that's definitely live!" but the choruses (and possibly some verses, too) are lip synced... A clue is when you're moving around/dancing a lot it is EXTREMELY hard to still sound good, and not miss notes, pant, etc - understandably! (Pink is shockingly good at it!).
But I'm pretty certain he means Camila. Billie and Taylor definitely performed live...
@@fenecofeneco19 Camila Cabello.
She is awesome and unique. One of the best . Her emotional performance add more value and beauty to her style as an artist.
Thank you so much for this video! Shakira sure has her own style of singing. I remember reading years ago that her voice/music teacher called her a goat because she sang like that :D Shakira is one of my favourites, not only because I love her voice but I love the music she has been doing since she was a teen and she is an amazing performer. To be honest, many of my favourite Shakira songs are actually from before she became famous in USA, I mean the Spanish stuff before that. But, even after that in my opinion she has done some solid albums, for example the album this song is from. Again, thank you Sam so much and have a happy weekend :)
Oh, were you in Sweden? Then you were kind of close to Oulu, Finland lol
This song is absolutely perfect.
Love her voice is so strong and gorgeous
I just love Shakira
She is very versatile actually. She sings too many styles.
Welcome to Sweden, hope you have a nice time!/a swede
I love the word, "kanoodly", or "kanurdly", haha. So accurate. :)
Sam, I love your positiveness. I sing barbershop (35 years!) and healthy singing matters if ya wanna last!
Glad you have finally analyzed a Hispanic singer, been waiting for a while lol hope to see more in the future! 😀
I can’t sing but I love listening to these :)
Me too
People literally bully her voice when she was young and call her goat singing, but she stick to her style though it wasn't a extreme as now, she does it mostly on emotional songs, my favourite song in ballad style from her is no, but the lyrics is what makes everything make sense even in this one
She sang Suenos at 15 and sounded like an angel, not a goat.
I'm a student Respiratory Therapist and I am amazed how much you know about physiology and air movement !! great job ! love the videos and the scient bases to them!
I would love to hear your insight on her recent vocal injury and why exaclty that diagnosis is so frightening for singers.
Since you're not native in spanish, maybe you didn't consider she's singing according with the Lyric, with the interpretation of the Lyric in Spanish. Is like she's feeling the Lyric and use her voice according with what's she's singing. Since I'm spanish native I can understand she uses those sounds according with the meaning of every word.
She sings the same style and sounds when she sings in English too.
Her style doesn't have anything to do with the language, I think.
I agree with u
I speak Spanish fluently myself, but I don't really understand the point you're trying to make.
@@kansasgoldilocks Lo que intento decir es que ella no está enfocada en la técnica de su voz, si no en la interpretación de la canción a través de modular y cambiar su voz de acuerdo a la letra. Es muy diferente cantar con la técnica adecuada y perfecta o cantar más interpretando o sintiendo la canción, por eso ella se da la libertad de fluir con la lírica o la letra, más allá de si está entonando bien o mal. Igualmente depende de gustos, porque también hay grandes cantantes e interpretes que logran amalgamar ambos. Por ello pienso, que al no conocer el idioma cambia la percepción también de lo que intentaba hacer la artista.
Yess Shakira!
You should react to Laura Pausini someday or Lara Fabian
Hi Sam, could you do a video on Thom Yorke possibly one of his solo songs like bloom @ Pathway to Paris
LOVE this song.
And i love her voice.
I love Shakira and I know that her voice is not favourite for many people. Well, I loved your reaction and your analysis. Needless to say, I love your videos.
React to Luis Miguel. I was impressed by his voice. Never knew he had that kind of voice although people in my family listened to him when I was younger lol
I love Shakira
React to more Shakira!!! Having such a different voice style makes it really interesting to watch
React to...Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi...PLEASE.
Seconded
