Miley Cyrus vs Ariana Grande “No Tears Left To Cry”
So different versions
Or Miley vs. Arctic Monkeys “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High”
Miley is better
Yes!!!
Miley did it better. I love Ari but Miley's version is way better.
It's like saying that someone who can draw masterpieces in charcoal is an inferior artist to one who paints masterpieces in oils or acrylics. Texture, color, image, context all relay information from the artist to the experiencer. That's what art does. Just because your situation doesn't make a piece particularly meaningful to you, there's no sense in concluding that it has no meaning; it might be life-changing for the next person (or for you in 10 years' time, when your perspective has changed). Thank you for taking on this important topic in art! (P.S. I love, love, love your channel!)
Very well said!
*What defines people’s success and attraction is how they bring out there uniqueness. We are all born with a potential to be something no one else can; ourselves. Billie does this really well because she obviously knows her voice very well and brings out all it’s best features and produces in its most definitive form. Some fantastic singers hate their voice but accept that their style is what there voice was born to do.*

Couldn't have said it better myself, thank you for this
@@DeanVMachine thank you for saying this, I love hearing different points of view
Miley is amazing. I can't believe some people say she can't sing. I can understand if you don't like her voice, it is special. But she knows how to use it.
She's a cultural appropriator don't care for her at all regardless if her voice is good or not people like that should not get support
Neemah Cobell preach👏
@@neems3250 cultural appropriation, nope, file that under shit that people without real problems worry about. You guys are a cult
NOO MILEY IS RUINING THE SONG BILLE SANG IT LOW AND MILEY SCREAMED SO NO HELL NO
@@neems3250 educate me because i have still yet not found why cultural appropriation is bad? i just see it as X person liking X culture because X reason so they support it and embrace it.
im probably getting the wrong idea but idk, im still young and got a lot to learn
I love, love, love this analysis. I've always felt I wasn't a "good" singer because I didn't have a big, belt-y voice, but Billie Eilish breaks that stereotype. Thanks for doing this video Sam!!
I’ve always preferred this type of voice- Billie, Norah Jones, Toni Braxton, etc over the belt-y voices personally.
Also...it can ALL be learned! What you use to express yourself and your music is another question. I studied classical voice...and couldn't belt at all...and now I teach pop vocals and feel way more comfortable with pop vocals.
I've always had the impression that singing loudly was easier than singing in a quiet and controlled tone. To me a quiet voice would impress me more depending upon the purpose and intent for this song it works quite well at least.
@@nhbowens it purely depends on how you're muscles and your vocal coordination are trained (even from speaking) and what you're used to.
@@Simplenotion personally it feels like I improve when I sing along to things louder but can't properly match tone/key if I try to sing more softly. This channel is great in showing how much can be learned
Miley has worked hard on her vocals and I don’t think she gets enough credit for how good she is now.
Billie: *sings*
Sam: we have the same microphone
I know so freakin cute ☺️
Serious Norah Jones vibes off of Billie’s performance. She can definitely sing.
I really liked Miley’s interpretation. It felt like longing, while Billie sounds more pensive
I agree- Miley's sounds much more passionate and like she relates to the lyrics more. I attribute some of that to the difference in age and life experience between the two women.
I like more Miley version
@@parissinclair6513 But those are Billie's lyrics that she wrote about her own life experiences! LOL. I like both versions, btw, but Billie's tone will always suck me in and I have to give the win to the one who wrote the song.
I like Billie’s the best, but if I had to listen 20x in a row, I’d rather it be Miley’s version.
I love Billie Eilish honestly. I like the more delicate soft almost mournful sound.
Billie sounds more in to the song and lyrics. Miley feels like she’s trying to show off. Billie’s performance draws me in. Whereas Miley feels more off putting to me, like she’s trying too hard. It doesn’t work for me.
I would be interested in hearing H.E.R. and/or Sam Smith singing a version of this song.
My first time hearing her ever, I agree.
Billies voice is so soothing
@@toyotasupra97 yasss
She make me sleep.
I'd like to hear Billie sing some Amy Lee stuff honestly. I feel like she would do that haunting tone pretty well.
I feel like most people who give Billie a lot of flack for being “not a good singer”, are not singers themselves.
I had that same thought! Like, ok if you don't like her, why don't *you* sing it.
I find her quiet balance really difficult and also somewhat... relaxing? But I think trying to sing like her makes criticizing her much more difficult for sure!
I think she is a good singer, but I am just not fan of her style. It just sounds like she is whispering every time it's very hard to understand what she is saying. I just wish she would use more power. She doesn't have to be like Chrisina Aguilera, but I can barely hear her and cant really understand what she is saying.
@@Nordap1986 Do you have any hearing loss? I think her voice is in a range where hearing loss is common. I don't have trouble hearing her, and as Sam said in this video she wasn't really doing the breathy/whispery thing on this song so much as just quiet.
crosita1 every singer can choose their own technique. Singing in a more breathy voice can be dangerous if you use it without a proper technique. I don’t know much about billie but as far as I can see she has a very good technique. And she and her brother (it’s her brother right?) produce music that fits to her voice. I think I saw a video of her where she sung in a fuller voice, less breathy and with much more “power”. But I think that was when she was younger. So she is well capable of doing that. But it would sound like everybody else. I honestly prefer her style that she has now too. It’s not always important to understand the lyrics anyways. It’s part of her style too. There are a ton of singers who include that. Usually when you learn to sing you are also being thought about pronunciation. To sound clear so that other people understand you and to get to the notes by changing vowels. So her way of talking is something she chooses to do and part of the style.
React to Miley’s last single Midnight Sky ✨
Great comparison/contrast/learning discussion.
I love Miley's voice. Always have. Even if the song she's singing isn't my thing, I can still love her voice. I don't think her toolbox is limited at all. It's exciting to think about what more she could do. Jazz, or more serious/symphonic rock. Would love to hear her voice on an Armin van Buuren track, even.
I also love how Billie has shown us not every great singer has to be some variation of Aretha Franklin/power singer. In one softly sung phrasing, she's able to delicately convey tremendous emotion and complex inflection. It blows me away.
Billie reminds me of singers from the 20's-30's to me... honestly... it's beautiful
JAMlover55- yeah, she reminds me of the old “torch” singers. She’s like a new-age version.
Agreed its like Billie Holiday reincarnated
I would not say 20/30s. The singing style was quite different. We prefer (and Billie sings in) a clearer, more direct style than the round, curlicued way that was popular in the 20/30s.
Orkelys Supersaver Halle of Chloe x Halle is more of the modern day Billie Holiday imo
Love the difference in both of their voices. I think Miley can sing anything she is given and makes it her own. Also, I feel I learn more from these type of videos as I can finally physically see and understand what you are talking about. Hope you are doing well.
Love your comment on this. I feel the exact same way!
Jessica c homie that was 9 years ago. Get over yourself.
Jessica c damn dude who cares what you think? It’s opinionated. I don’t care.
@Jessica c tons of people have "butchered" smells like teen spirit because it's an iconic song and almost impossible to capture the angst and grunge of the time and anyones vocals will always be compared unfavourably to Kurt's. To say she can't sing because of that one cover is absurd. Listen to her cover of heart of glass for instance, she captures the essence of the song and rocks that thing!! Singers have a range and aren't going to suit every song... but because they sing one song badly doesn't mean they can't sing. It means they made bad choices for THAT song.
miley seems like she has changed her technique for the better, id love to see a then & now comparison of what you think she has done
You should react to more Miley covers. They are always so different. She recently covered Maneater and Take it To The Limit. Phenomenal
I agree.
YAAAAAS SAM get that sponsorship money 😍😍😍
Screw the algorithm 😂
Since around 20 years, we are bombarded with TV singing contests, were talents have to make an impression in about 90 seconds, or so. Most of them chose the big belt tactic to convince the jury. Most spectators obviously are not voice teachers or bel canto experts. They are just watching for some entertainment. Meanwhile whole generations have been regrettably misled that the highest, longest and loudest belt is the only benchmark for the quality of a singer. It isn't and some of the biggest stars of all time sang smooth and with much emotion.
Interesting thought
Preach
@Peter Müller Some WH and MC songs have more understated vocals with little to no belting, maybe they're more your speed.
EXACTLY! As a old music teacher I tell you that only a few people today can understand Billie vocal talent… she is what music exists for like poets in the past… to transport the listener into your artistic emotional world. THIS is art. Unfortunately over the years we have LOST SO MUCH THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS: the true, deep meaning of art and music and today singers/artists they are all marketing screaming products … without unique soul and creative unique art in their voice , but Billie has brought me back to rediscover the old classic music when music was ART and only pure emotion what I had lost and miss in recent years after Amy Winehouse, Norah jones Etc .. and I had also lost hope of ever seeing them again actually after autotune etc …. she is a true diamond in that industry. only those who have an artistic sensibility can understand this. She is on another level… I don't care if an artist competes with another to have the greatest vocal range, this is NOT important… THIS IS NOT WHAT MUSIC IS FOR … but what can you do in that range you have, how do you make it YOURS. Whitney Houston is "the voice" not because she was the first singer with the biggest vocal range, no, absolutely not, because she didn't have the widest… but because of her tonality and tonality she is the SOUL, the heart button of a singer that makes him or her UNIQUE in the history of music and Billie has that, this talent is rare and I started hearing it develop at 15 on her EP, I waited because I invested in her… I perceived she was different from everyone else … and in her debut album I had the confirmation .. and now that she is evolving her sound even more .. for me it was incredible to witness this because these are authentic and rare vocal performers that you don't see often…. they are artists who study music and then voluntarily or not, they find their different sound. If you hear the pop singers of the last 2 decades you will often find it hard to understand who is singing, but when you hear Billie it’s her .. there is no doubt. Even in the past she was like this… she has a vocality that comes from the 20-60s of jazz .. I don't know how she managed it but from her EP there was jazz influence and from that she was able to build a vocal signature in her voice. Amazing.

"People can be good and make different sounds than what you want them to make" Speak on it Sam!!
I love that you are not elitist with singers, and don't hate just to jump on the bandwagon 💕
Except for Christina, he really hates on her.
Axel Vásquez Aguilera?
@@swedishfish5622 yes, Christina Aguilera.
Axel Vásquez Oh yeh, she does a lot 😂
i don't hate christina. i don't think she sings in as healthy of a way as she possibly could, and i don't prefer her aesthetically, but i think she's enormously talented. it's obvious that i do from when i say "i don't get this torn up about people who aren't amazing".
Damn. Sam went off and I’m here for it
Miley does explore the quieter side of her voice in twinkle song, rooting for my baby and bang me box. She can do it all.
I am an amateur singer, and I consider myself as having more of a beltier tone because it is more comfy for me, I guess. But I do use a lot of breath (I think I have to work on that)... I love Billie's voice and actually appreciate how difficult it can be to sing that controlled while being delicate. I do think it is a skill, and I'm glad she doesn't feel like she needs to conform to what society thinks is a good singer.
Love what you do with these analyses :)
Miley’s voice is out of this world
I love how Sam provides amazingly sweet constructive critiques. He states his assessments and explanations in such a gentle way. I also really enjoy how informative he is and I learn with each video. Thank you for being you Sam! 😁💕
its really invigorating to see how passionately you talk about music in general, your videos always brightens my days
I can't lie, I love the Miley's deep voice and ability to belt out notes. I'm just a pleb. But this comparison taught me to appreciate Billie Eilish as a vocalist.
Harry Styles vs Rihanna - Wild Thoughts
Up
YES YES YES YES YES YES
You can't compare Rihanna's version when she was performing live and dancing at the Grammy's with Harry's version where he was just standing and singing with equipped materials and comfortable room.
@@AJay-he7vj She sang well at the Grammy, I don't see anything wrong to compare their vocals. Both sing the track well, just in different ways
@@hi.im.kstina I just don't think it would be fair because the performances set ups are totally different
You're the cutest when you get mad and so opinionated!!! Props for the passion you show when reviewing artists, you're great at it and you're genuinely lovely to watch!
A reaction to one of Finneas’ live performances 😐😯 would be AMAZING. I feel like he’s so underrated!
Please watch Miley interview with Rogan. He commented on her speaking voice and she talked about practicing scales. Can you explain that exercise?
i love miley's version more, there's pain, anger, and something sexy about it!
"whispering" you definitely a deaf , and "whispering" takes a lot of effort than you're thinking
@Cristal Boludo You didn't even watch it. Sam spends most of this clip talking about how Billie is NOT whispering, and says it's "elitist crap" to suggest that she is.
@Cristal Boludo first of all honey I'm not a 14 years old
Second of all my parents are old and they like her songs so I don't know what age has to do here ? Stupid argument
Third of all , singing with a BREATHY TONE ( not whispering we're in 2021 it's a shame ) is way much harder than you're thinking , it demands a lot of effort to stay in pitch with a LOT of breath, it demands a good breath control specially she has asthma , not everyone can sing with breathy tone and nails it ( expect , great vocalists like ariana )
No the fact that you think belts and high notes are only the notes which are hard 💀 poor little human
I won't reply anymore cuz it doesn't worth it to ague with a uneducated stoned brain and you're only embarrassing yourself you don't even use the proper words , her haters always has the dumbest arguments ever , always the same lmao bye y'all
@Cristal Boludo and to sing a 2 octaves song it's really hard but billie did it lmao
You can't get it now until you try to sing her songs lmao.
@Cristal Boludo maybe learn about signing and use the proper words and come back ? Maybe ? It's not harmful lmao
The embrassement
I'm excited for this one Sam!
I love Miley her version 💕 she has such a nice voice ✨
I learn so much from you. You explain things other vocal coaches/teachers don't in these kind of videos and so well, so understandable. Thank you
I love your videos and how you explain the different techniques! Has helped me so much when singing! Thank you✨🌻😊
I love adds here, you get the most original sponsorships of all the youtubers!
Both are great singers. At this moment I’m obsessed with Miley.
Billie’s vocal style reminds me of Julie London. Gentle, soft, beautiful. Julie London used to say she “had a thimbleful of voice.”
I love Julie London’s voice though. So far I’m quite a fan of Billie’s tone, softness, and writing.
Miley, I don’t always love her songs, but I love how interesting and expressive her voice is
that video was just so good. A real analysis, and authentic point of view!! So happy to have found your channel even if I am late here x))
OMG!!! HELLO!!!! I guess in their eyes Norah Jones also isn't a good singer. Range does not define whether you're a good singer people. LOL I get as aggravated as you do. Love this video! Do more please.
Thank you Sam, I learn so much about the voice from your videos and sometimes when I rewatch them, things get clearer as you analyse and use different voices and examples for explaining similar concepts.
i have to STAN. thank you for all those nice things you said about billie, sooo true. you should watch her wish you were gay live performances cause she uses “head voice” way more and sounds so good, i think you’re gonna really like it
I didn't even know that I wanted this. Thanks Sam!!
Ari vs Miley on No Tears Left to Cry ❤️
This is my favorite of your videos so far! Singing is art. The ‘best’ singers share their stories and their souls with us. It is a gift. The colors they paint with are their choice and we have a choice as consumers to choose who’s art we consume. Thank you for being always being a champion for that!
You've been mentioning the importance of finding balance in our voice as well as having options, and it's really transformed how I approach singing. I kept overanalyzing instead of just communicating and "trusting my instrument". Thanks for proving such educational and encouraging videos! :)
you're so wholesome omg,,, im so glad i found ur channel : ) thank u so much for all that u do !!
I've been following Sam for a long time and I am HERE for the level of sass that has been coming out the past few months
Where I am in my life, I prefer Miley’s version. It’s been a shit year so i wanna drunkenly belt her rendition through teary eyes.
I need that because I have a big loud voice and I actually have to say “sorry neighbours” before I sing😅🤣
I feel ya bruh.
Thank you for the tip on quiet curtains! I've been looking for something like this for the room I record my ASMR videos in!
Billy, to me, has a more sultry sound. Whereas Miley has a more, (trying to find the right word and failing) not naughty, but knowing maybe? She's working the song for effect. Billie gets a vibe and the song works her. I don't know if I'm expressing myself well or not, I think they're both extremely talented.
sam is so good at sponsored bits!! i actually watch them instead of speeding through lol
Billie is so talented and i love her art so much
Hello from Vienna/Austria ... I am not a singer but I love to listen to singer ... and each time i am watching one of your video, I always learn something new ... so, thx for taking the time for that ... bye until the next video ...
Sam, you can somehow see the good and the potential in every singer. You have literally changed the way I watch a performer and listen to music.
Thank you 😁
Billie is more soft and quiet. i really like Mileys version more. The emotion i feel in her live, wow and her voice makes it so beautiful! We all have our own opinions for sure, so no hate.
“We have the same microphone.” Made me laugh for some reason 😂
I love this type of video! I think it's very helpful to hear two singers sing the same notes with varying styles to better learn how they use their instrument. I think it helps that the two are "professional" singers in that they generally would do different things to evoke the sound they are going for.
I would love to see more videos like this!
Freddie v Adam Lambert, any song!
WikkidVyxen I Second this!!!!!
YES!
Yes!! Would love to see analysis of Who wants to live forever
YES PLEASE 🙏🙌
I love your videos, Sam. I absolutely agree with your idea of what singing is at its core. Music has gotten me through many hardships, not necessarily because of a singers' ability to go through many facets of their voice, but, rather, their ability to emote and communicate in a way that I could relate to. Music is a blessing and a gift that, I find, too many people take for granted.
I would really love to hear you talk about Ed Sheeran's acoustic cover of Masters of War compared to Bob Dylan doing the original.
And maybe add Eddie Vedder in the mix, please
Any time you add Eddie Vedder, that is a good thing.
I love listening to you analyze two vocalists side by side because you show that people’s voices can sound completely different and both be great singers
please could you compare mariah carey's and ariana grande's emotions?
i loooove ariana's emotions. i can't find a proper live version of it though.
@@SamJohnsonVoice can u react to her recent sweetener world tour vocals , she's improved a lot she was amazing
I love Billie and Miley. Miley is amazing but i wasn’t the biggest fan of her cover. I still love then both. I agreed with everything you said. You said it perfectly
I loved both versions of the song. Great comparison, Sam! Greetings from Argentina 😊
Must say, your little rant at the end was priceless 🤣
Love your analyses
Loved the rant in the middle haha. I'd love to see you analyze some classic Ann Wilson from Heart.
I love both these singers and both versions. They both do different things for me and I'm happy to partake in their heightened communication.
For me, Miley's one is perfect for when you do the household chores, like sweeping and mopping emotionally, and Billie's one for when you do your homework.
I love both💕
I love how you nod along with them like they are chatting with you.
Please react to Christina Aguilera's "At Last: Stripped Tour" VS Beyoncé's "At Last: Barack Obama Inauguration".
That is one of my favorite songs ever
Yaas
True

Thank you soon much for clarifying that everyone can basically sing the same song. Just possibly with different emotions behind the lyrics. I am not a singer. I love music though, and the way each lyric can just grab your soul sometimes.
Whomever is assaulting Billie's talent is clearly jealous....clearly-----because her voice and her style is brilliant and attracts the young, the old and those in between....I'm 63 and she is my all time----ALL TIME----favorite since Celine Dion came onto the scene----or Streisand.
😂 I’m 47 and I love her also!!
OMG I'M FREAKING OUT BECAUSE OF YOUR SHIRT. I LOVE TITANIC
Hozier covering Bridge Over Troubled Water vs Simon & Garfunkel
It's my birthday and you're reacting to two of my favourite pop stars! Thank youuuuuuu!!!!!!!
And, this is why you're one of my favs to watch. Speak your mind, Sam! Tell them!!!
So happy Sam got his rant out at the end. That has always been my method to understanding and listening to music. It's not a one size fits all and we all communicate differently. Some singers may 'strike a cord' better with us and others won't. Just going to save this video for anytime I hear someone 'bullying' a signer and share Sam's thoughts :D
Hey Sam! Would love to suggest an analysis video on Tori Amos!
when he said the same parts i instantly thought abt tatianna
Love this concept of a video! Very informative yet fun :)
I'm a terrible singer, but I really enjoy watching your videos! You seem so likeable and learning about how singers use their voices gives me a lot more appreciation for these talented artists.
Yes please react to more of miley's cover !! that's where she is the best
I love how passionately you defend against the harsh critics out there! You have such a kind heart. It’s just so sweet. You keep doin what you do, mama bird the crap outta the haters!!! 😊😊😊
I appreciate a lot this video, you’re so clear 😊
Love this change in content!!
Wow. Thank you for all this input.
Doesn’t Billie need to exercise a tremendous amount of control when she sings that low to avoid some weird fluctuations in volume? I’m not a singer, just an appreciative enthusiast of good music and songwriting 😊
Anytime I need to a confidence booster, I just take a little field trip to your channel. 😊 🎶 ♥️
I’ve always hated my “small”, soft voice and felt it was inadequately delicate... So, every time you review Billie (or anyone with a similar vocal style) it brings me SO. MUCH. JOY.!!! 😁
Love the artist vs artist! Super interesting!
I'm very loud when I sing too. I tried recording myself in a quiter vocal style and I didn't like it lol
God, the holistic approach to analysing performances on this channel is so refreshing!
MY future is better for having watched this...thank you. Could you please do a video on K D Lang....I don't know if you cpould do a comparison with her and Roy Orbisn singing "Crying"???
my natural voice is like Billie's, quiet/delicate. Have always wanted to be louder. Really loved seeing you dissect this!
I think both sound good on this song. If I could only go to one of their concerts though, it would hands down be Miley. There is just so much energy in her live performances, its like shes a sun in them.
I love how you point out the importance on expressing oneself through music. It really shows how considerate and respectful you are to each artist. I would love to see you react to and analyze - A poem titled you Taeyeon/ IU. Thank you. Have a great day!
