As a fan of The Warning, when I first heard this collaboration I was very surprised at how high Dany was singing. Not knowing Band-Maid very well at the time I thought she was trying to match their singer. I later learned that both singers were singing higher then their norm. I am still learning about BM (lots of videos) so I don't feel qualified to make any commentary about their style out side of they are very good musicians 🤘. I would suggest getting to know The Warning a little because there is a common belief that they will be working together on other projects, I would love to see that. A few suggestions I would make are Evolve Live on the MTV VMA's, Hell You Call A Dream live at the Pepsi Center, and Sharks from their latest album Keep Me Fed. Thank you for doing this reaction and I hope you dive a little into The Warning. By the way they are 3 sisters from Mexico and have been a band for over 10 years. Thank you
It's Kanami's nature to push her colleagues out of their comfort zone...usual business to push both lead vocals upwards when she instigated this composition. What a magic collab...8 sisters effectively. Superb 👌❤🔥🤘🤘🤘
W I N !!!!! 🎀 W I N !!!⚡I think we can just say, at their level, Band-Maid and The Warning are equal peers at the very top of the "Rock" pile. I’ve watched “Show Them” 50 times now and still haven’t been able to drop my eyes down to the lyrics.🤘😂 Thx, Jess! Btw -- I was just thinking: Band-Maid and The Warning, two very different bands, found something that would bring them together -- music! If only the people of the world could find something that would bring them together. I know... if peace and prosperity isn't enough, how about uniting for the very survival of our species! 🤔
Your feeling is due to the fact that they have a very similar vocal range... you have to be very precise to detect who is singing at each moment, but in the first listening it is difficult except in moments where you can appreciate who is singing.
No hate sir...it's your opinion and you showed no disrespect. This song has had a wide range of responses, so I wouldn't worry about it. I for one love this song, but that's me. Both vocalist were pushed to sing in a key higher than they normally sing, which I think was picked up by both TWA and Maidiacs. Kanami is sometimes a little bit evil with her composition...🤭 But it was a collaboration with input from both bands. The fact many TWA feels it's a Band-Maid song and many Maidiacs feels its a The Warning song kind of proves the collaboration worked. They took a little of each band and came out with a fantastic blend. And I do agree with you, the voice match are very close. Of course, Saiki does have a bit more of an accent to her English, but she's getting better and better as she learns more. I believe she said she learned a lot by watching Dany as enunciated English words. Rock on Master Jess! 🤘😆🤘
Try The Warnings HELL YOU CALL A DREAM LIVE AT THE PEPSI CENTER CDMX OR EVOLVE LIVE AT THE MTV VMA'S 2023 ..The Warning is a band you will not forget "ever". Try SHARKS OFFICIAL LYRICS VIDEO it's New.🌎✌️
There has been many people that believe the vocals are a little too forward in the mix and it drowns out the instruments. I believe it was written in a way to harmonize the two vocalist and they were both singing out of their ranges. Saiki was singing a bit higher notes with more power than she usually does and Dany was singing in a higher tone. Band Maid is big on their matching harmonies in a lot of their music, so I’m not surprised they went this route instead of the more varied vocals. Not many Maidiacs will dump on you for reasonable thoughts, it’s when they feel a reactor is being disrespectful that they get agitated. I think you’ll be fine from that fanbase. (Someone accused Akane of using a backing track for her high hat once and I thought they were gonna hunt that guy down.)
My guess is Kanami made a deliberate musical decision. Two sets of instrumentation that mostly follows the two band styles, but one style of vocalization from two singers, in a style neither band uses.
Hi Jess, Thanks for the reaction and your interest in The Warning......Welcome. I think it was intentional for the vocalists to be at the same pitch and sound similar as Dany, from The Warning, said she sang an octave higher than her normal singing voice although Dany has a great range. The Warning are 3 sisters from Mexico and are usually described as hard rock. The Warning has celebrated 10 years of being a band, same as Band maid, this year and are still very young. Dany being the oldest at 24, Pau on drums at 22, and Ale on bass at 19. The Warning are a phenomenal live band. They write songs with live performances in mind. For a 3 piece they build a wall of sound. It would be great if you could discover more of The Warning on your channel. Evolve live at the VMA awards is a great introduction to the young sisters followed by Automatic Sun, Hell you call a dream, both live on vevo. Choke, Dust to Dust, Animosity, Dull Knives, and Disciple are all great songs that can be found live at Teatro Metropolitan theatre from August 2022. Great video and audio. Hope these recommendations help and that you enjoy them. 🤟
Get your point, not sure why they didn’t harmonize more with the lead vocals, but I assume it was a conscious decision for some reason, since Dany of The Warning is used to harmonizing with her sisters. 😎👍
I see this is the only The Warning content you have on your channel. Do yourself a favor. Dive right in! Anything from the Pepsi Center show is just incredible. If I had to pick I would say Dust to Dust/Dull Knives. It's a twofer because the transition from one song to another isn't even one second. Epic. Edit: If you love bass driven sound The Warning is your band.
