there's honestly something about that the Country Singing Voice. a lot of country singers are genuinely southern, but tbh most singers fake it. like, it *has* to sound like you grew up on a southern farm or else its not ""authentic"" otherwise (even though most country musicians, southern or otherwise, grew up in the suburbs or cities). its especially noticeable in country music produced after 2001. that's also when the genre took a turn towards Bro Country and away from working class issues

As a Texan that doesn’t normally speak with a southern accent, country songs bring out a feral creature and it’s just a possession of old country spirits that take over.

i used to be a "everything but country" person, but then i realized that i actually just don't like most modern country music (something i started to realize after watching the bo burnham special where he sings about pandering in country), and have since gotten like really into glen campbell, dolly parton, johnny cash, hank williams, and ray charles' country stuff. gentle on my mind and wichita lineman by glen campbell are two of my favourite songs atm.

This was just so Jarvis could show his hidden country talent

Regular Jarvis: I don't like country music Radio Jarvis: and I know every word to every song 🤠

“I’m here to pour beer on people’s faces” was incredible. Exceeded all of my expectations.

One thing about Native’s deodorant is if you have sensitive underarms DO NOT USE IT. baking soda messes with the ph of your skin and while it doesnt affect everyone, it made my underarms get super red and flaky. Loved Native until that happened lol.

Ok but Jarvis is proving himself to be a really good singer in this video what

Jarvis has no business sounding this good????? Like the vocal runs?? Immaculate ✨

As a denizen of the Misty Mountains in North Carolina, I’ve tried researching where ppl get their accents and such, and it’s pretty interesting. Since many southern mountain folk were fairly isolated after emigrating from Scotland and Ireland as the rolling hills and thick forests reminded them of their homeland. So it is essentially a natural un-mingled progression of the old English / Scots-Irish accent. Then as they opened up, it was gradually influenced by firstly by those of Dutch and German descent in the mid and lowlands, then the Spanish and French from the Southern Gulf coast regions. The modern country singing voice is similar to a proper distilled and smoothed out hybrid of those influences, with an unsettling predisposition for higher pitching and singing every word through one’s nose and frequent, almost full exhalation sounds. The latter as an attempt at pacing and subconsciously evoking that “plum tuckered out from working all day on a farm yeehaw” sentiment. Much love and respect as always from my outpost up high in the Misty Mountains of North Carolina hehe 😁 hope that helps maybe 🙏💜👽

3 Doors Down and Daughtry are rock bands which is probably why you heard them on the radio, and that's also why those songs are the closest I'll go to country

Jarvis going off about zoning was probably the best thing I've seen all week. I love any good discussion about urban planning, zoning, or transportation.

You've heard of the Hype House. Now, get ready for the Hoedown House

nobody asked but as someone who used to sing professionally, EVERYONE tends to change their pronunciation when singing (softer r's, longer vowels) so that the voice carries better and so that syllables can be pronounced in time w the music. if you ever listen to a song in a language ur learning, that's often why it's hard to understand what they're saying: the way they're singing is different from how they'd speak. country musicians actually DON'T diminish their accent when singing, which is why it sounds so unique compared to many other genres

I'm really glad these guys are having their fun, it seems harmless and wholesome for the most part, especially compared to a lot of stuff on TikTok

mixing TikTok and country music is a very scary thing, especially since country lovers are often give you ultra terrifying looks when you tell them you don't like their music taste

An entire house of the guy who brings an acoustic guitar to the party

13:02 can’t believe jarvis didn’t think of kurtis conner

So i was rewatching this video and at 16:45 in the back you can see something on Jarvis’ shelf move. Idk what it is I just happened to see it start moving while Jarvis is shouting about country kids rapping Macklemore.

that haunted shelf behind Jarvis is distracting but intriguing

“country theater kids” this describes them perfectly. us theater kids sometimes make everything into musicals xD

16:30 - Oh my god, Jarvis, your reaction to the "rap battle" was GOLD.

love seeing your lyric knowledge, but i love your GLASSES even more. wish i knew who made them because those would 100% be my next pair. i’m a sucker for tortoiseshell. i’m also fascinated by how you don’t readjust them by pushing them up, you adjust them carefully from the side. a very ✨gold ✨ way to do it.

Them: SING THIS COUNTRY SONG OR GET BEER'D Also them: plays alt rock from the 90s - 00s

the jarvis johnson GOLD gets me every time

The speaking accents are all of course real, but you’re right in thinking the singing accents are exaggerated. This is probably just due to them imitating the country singers they enjoyed while growing up, but the inclusion of “the accent” is essential to country music today. As country has moved away from its classic instrumentation, it sounds more and more like everything else on the radio. Singing with a southern accent allows you to define it as a country song rather than pop or hip hop

I'm obsessed with how good 9:35 is wtf

the most insane thing about this is that of all the tiktoks shown here, all but ONE of these songs weren't even country. half of them I hear on the regular on the local rock radio channel. the second most insane thing is that there weren't even pizzas in those boxes.

Jarvis: “it’s just that I continue to subject myself to things where I’m just like why are we here?” ... at least you look cool while doing so 🥺🥺 love the outfit sm

MY TIME HAS COME!! I am southern myself!! Also a theatre kid, your point about that is absolutely right The country voice- with a southern accent, like many, gets stronger as your voice/passion with what you're saying is. Unlike many accents, if you're really into your music sometimes it slips in. I imagine these folks are playing that up very strongly. Honestly, I don't have too much critique of these kids. They seem like friends having fun and making their own rules for games. Which is okay! They're having fun. Anyway, this actually looks kind of fun and I'd do this half-ironically with my theatre nerd friends

16:10 what in the poltergeist is moving on the shelf?? I thought it’s a piece of paper in the wind but nothing else looks like it’s windy or a fan is on 😳😳😳🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm surprised Kurtis hasn't visited 615. He's blend right in.

The accent thing is because of the placement of the sound in your mouth. A reason that the accent is lost with british people is because when you sing a lot of the time youre using your chest and core, which is a lot closer to where American accents fall. When british people talk normally they're typically placing and speaking with the sound closer to the front of the mouth. (but not quite on the lips cause thats where french people place sound)

The "country voice" when singing tends to be done on purpose to blend differently with the guitar (my Dad is a music nerd from the deep South). It's kinda like The Emo Voice, Alt Whine, or Beatles Drawl. It's an exaggeration of your actual accent typically, but can be replicated with practise.

"hey look, I'm no pizza" is one of my favourite things Jarvis has ever said 14:54

As someone who lives in the 615 area (unless they’re talking about a different one) Reba’s old house is now an event center. Pretty sure they don’t live there and they just rented it out lmao like y’all can lie better I guess???

As someone who lives in a southern area, the accent kinda just happens when you start to get emotional. I don't usually have strong county accent, but I notice I start to sound really country when I'm arguing with someone. So, they're pretty much just activating emotional voice for the song

12:40 Jarvis doesn’t realize he, himself has a double name

14:05 This guy swinging around the pizza boxes, proving they don't have any pizza in them

The intros for this channel are always the best

Jarvis please address the controversy of what the hell is on your shelf. I need to know

11:19 THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD WHAT IS HIS LAUGH

(9:02) I've always wondered where that accent comes from, too. Because let's be honest, most country singers sound the same, yet from different parts of the world.

You know like the “indie singer voice” where you do that thing with annunciating apPles And BaNaNayyys every other sound? The country voice is kinda like that except you round it out more and keep it lower and a little slower like you’re slurring it more. Lol I just tried to do the voice with the Carrie Underwood song and now my lower jaw kinda hurts cuz I was like jutting it out and keeping it more still to do the voice haha

Saying "Ohhhhh nooooooo" in sync with Jarvis after the rap battle started made my entire day hoo BOY. Made my skin crawl. It hurts. Please don't rap battle

It’s always been super interesting how we don’t sing in English accents. There are some exceptions, Lily Allen and Kate Nash for example, but I’ve always found it fascinating. Even the Beatles didn’t sing in their accents. It’s wild.

At 17:17 a book fell forward on the shelf in the background and that is all I can think out now. Edit: Never mind the rapping immediately afterward is all I can think about Edit 2.0: Never mind. The book is a picture and it keeps moving in the background, leading me to believe there is adequate air flow or ghosts, and It's all I can think about

98% of the stuff they sang wasn't country, I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if one of them broke out Panis Angelicus and started wailing on it.

why is no one talking about the ghost in the shelves behind Jarvis' head?!??

Like Blues, Country music was started as a way to pass time/form of oral storytelling created by Black and Brown southern Americans, usually cowboys. Basically, people that already had natural southern accents. As the genre got popular in northern white spaces, the "Country Singing Accent" was dialed up to 100% in an effort to make the music sound more "authentic". Again, like how in Blues there's a certain drawl and growl in there that sounds forced when done by people who don't speak that way in their daily lives

12:50 Tim Tom is an actual RU-vidr lol

Fun Trivia: The stuff falling on the shelf behind Jarvis at 2:03 is actually the real life Pokemon that he has been holding hostage since 1982

Jarvis is doing god's work by giving us a premium channel that's free

I’m a folk/country musician myself, and a huge music history nerd, so I feel somewhat qualified to share my 2 cents on the “country singing voice” thing. I think its usually just a stylistic thing, historically in country music the singers have had that twangy southern quality to their voices, often because they spoke that way as well in the old days, but over time the southern accent generally (but NOT universally) became more modernized and softened while musicians still held to that same sound they were used to hearing. At least that’s my take. I sing country songs and other styles a lot as well and though I don’t have a thick speaking accents, I do have more of a noticeable accent when singing certain styles of music. I’ve heard from Irish musicians that they have a similar phenomenon when playing really old Irish trad tunes, it makes it all come out in a thicker brogue for whatever reason. Love the vids Jarvis! Stay well brother god bless

singing in a “country accent” is a primal instinct that southerners use to survive

My favorite example of the country music singing voice is Keith Urban. Australian accent when he speaks, completely country twang when he sings. It's amazing, honestly. Also, hope Dipper didn't break anything!

Jarvis- the way you remembered that 3 doors down song is exactly how I remembered it. I heard it once in the gps aisle of an Office Depot and it took 7 years to find it again

Bailey Zimmerman is actually getting to be a pretty big name in country music. he had a song debut in the top 30 on the billboard hot 100, which rarely ever happens for a country artist.

6:55 ADHD REPRESENT 🅰️🍆🈂️🍆

Radio!Jarvis' look of realization when the lyrics click in his memory is so funny and endearing

I have mixed feelings on country. On one hand I love it because it reminds me of going on road trips with my family and my dad rocking out to it, on the other country music is….interesting. Why are all the cowboys so depressed and why are their wives constantly dying?!

6:35 the sound he makes is so funny

“you can’t avoid the sip” is so fucking haunting in the context of a tik tok house lmao

My one interaction with Native was when I asked the brand on FB if they donated to any native tribes/organizations, and I got a several paragraph response about how they aren't racist then they blocked me lmao. Edited for typo

when jarvis said "take a break" when talking about theatre kids, he activated all the theatre kids to go "run away with me now, let's go upstate"

i’m not a country Boy but i do go to school for music, specifically vocal! i’m no expert on country, but the vocals are genre specific and involve a lot of twang that is trained and learned, chances are it’s more ingrained and easier to connect with if it’s culturally authentic. something cool about country vocals is how they sort of mimic instruments of the genre. so yeah at least for what i know of female vocals, sometimes people just turn the accent on and use a mixed tone to achieve the twang so it’s a trained thing and usually needs to be studied/understood in order to achieve an accurate tone

I was raised on country music (don't really listen to much of it anymore though) and I don't think people suddenly gain an accent when singing, it's more of the shape of your mouth when you sing. A more flat or wide or square shape to your mouth (or keeping your soft pallet low, if you know choral terms) is going to give it more of a "country" or rural sound, whereas having a tall + round shape (lifting your soft pallet) is going to sound more "normal". My HS choir director actually taught us that you can sing in a totally different language but still have an american southern accent just by keeping your soft pallet too low/mouth too wide. edit: obviously that's not exactly the same as an actual southern accent, but a country accent and southern accent aren't necessarily the same thing. it's more of a twang that comes from just not opening the inside of your mouth fully, if you go to places like rural Michigan or Illinois, you're going to hear people who have "southern accents" to the untrained ear, but it's really just a rural twang that's fairly universal across everywhere except the northeast.

Oh Jarvis... Some British artists do lose their accent while singing, but Oasis is definitely not one of them 😄

The majority of what they sang wasn't country. And for the record, all the best country singers maintain their accent while singing. Their accents are just that thick. You could compare their singing and regular speaking easily. Some examples: Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, and Josh Turner. Some of the newer singers I think are altering their accents while singing. I haven't liked country in a long time. The only new songs I like are Miranda Lambert's songs.

I NEED a full "Before He Cheats" cover, Jarvis

"radio jarvis" is something that helped me finding a lot of songs. It never came to my mind, that other people don't do that....

As someone who grew up in Alabama hearing someone be absolutely stunned by the country voice is wild. Yes Jarvis, these accents are real and so are the double first names.

Jarvis’s country voice sounds like a drunk uncle trying to sing Pearl Jam at a bar on like a Tuesday night

Right at the beginning, I'm already loving Jarvis's energy in this one. Seems like it's gonna be fun

"a window, you know, like houses have" yeah thanks for clarifying that because i wouldn't have known what kind of windows you meant and then the confusion would have haunted me for the rest of the video so I'm very grateful for the clarification, you are the best /j

Those pizza boxes are EMPTY. Look at how he's waving them around.

Jarvis, my good sir, you have the loveliest twang to your voice and I think you are depriving the world of your gift. Imma need you to make a country music song and video ASAP!! 🤠💕

"Country theater kids" As someone who lives in a rural area right outside of a college town in Wisconsin This is everyone I know.

I'm glad Jarvis is digging into the real problem with content houses; exacerbation of the housing shortage

I live in the 615 and country music singers theater kid energy is the most accurate description of all the people flocking to Nashville to try and Landon’s record deal. These people want record deals. This whole house is an advert for their music careers. To quote Bo Burnham, they’re panderin’

When they said rap battle I immediately assumed I’d hear “ my money don’t jingle jingle”

As someone from Nashville but no longer lives in the US...hearing "615 house" immediately triggered me and idk why I was surprised that it did in fact exist in Nashville.

12:30 JSCHLATT??

As someone who grew up in a pretty country place the country singer accent is not accurate, you can tell when someone got their accent from singing vs someone who's had that accent and it happens to come out sometimes when singing, plus many country singers didn't even grow up on a farm/ranch or even a rural area in general

I never realized how much spontaneous singing made non-singers uncomfortable. once you’ve been in chorus long enough it just doesn’t phase you at all

Every time Jarvis does the intro and does the “it is…it is free” I get secretly nervous that I’m somehow being charged under the table

I love how at the beginning Jarvis is like "oh so it's just a musical country house.. that's strange huh?" But the minute he sees musical flip cup he just loses it

“All good things must come to and end” naturally as you talk about a house of tik tok country singers 😂😂 new to the Jarvis Johnson GOLD fam but I’ve binged all of your videos, thank you for making me laugh and smile 🫶🏼

I was visiting my friends over at Georgia and we were driving around. It took me a while to actually figure out that the country station we were listening to wasn't a parody channel. Every single song was about: I got a cool truck and a hot wife and after church I'm gonna get some beer and barbeque and watch football. EVERY. SINGLE. SONG.

4:13 I love that, it's just "I am here, this is my name, this is my goal, let's go!"

10:03 you saying “take a break” while ranting about the musicals is so funny cuz i immediately thought of Hamilton

13:50 loved the shout-out for missing middle housing 😀

I love how you trying to sing in the country voice sounded like you were trying to start an old truck. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂 It actually makes sense to start with that noise. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm from Texas and I sing for musical theatre. I don't have an accent when I speak but it definitely comes out when I sing. It's not even a voice I'm putting on its actively something that I have to monitor and correct. Strange phenomenon idk

I used to live in Nashville and Reba's Mansion is fucking huge with a giant horse farm and shit. It's actually in Brentwood, which is a rich suburb of Nashville.

your musical recollection anecdote is the single most relatable thing i have ever heard another person say ive done basically that same thing to remember songs since i was like 7

Whatever keeps moving on Jarvis's top shelf is driving me insane what IS IT

jarvis i need to warn you there's a ghost in the background at 17:30 lookout
