Finnish Vocal Coach Reacts: Linkin Park "Given Up" (SUBS) // Äänikoutsi reagoi 

he actually holds the scream 17 seconds in other live performances. he was truly one of a kind

That track, as morbid as it may sound, is literally a cry for help... Please talk to someone if you ever feel like that...we're all here.. Just talk to someone xx peace and love, Steve

Thank YOU Anna for honoring this INCREDIBLE SINGER!!🙏🏼 The versatility/ability to hold his breath is perfectly delivered in this song.... which in one word.. OUTSTANDING!!!!!🙌🏼 🎶It's just truly mind blowing!!!! He belongs to one of those rare category of singers who can express strong emotions behind the words in their music. 🎶 His smile... Daaamn, it gives me chills to think that he hid so much inside himself 😔

Another great voice silenced. Obvious he had psychological issues prior to his death but it really shines through in this video. You can tell he was letting all of his emotions through here. RIP Chester. Great job Anna.

The scream on the recorded version lasts 17 seconds (and Chester changes notes halfway). The lyrics hit hard knowing he committed suicide... As usual I recommend giving The Hillbilly Moon Explosion - 'My Love For Evermore' a listen and analysis.

Perfect way to describe Chester - ' Sings like an angel and screams like a devil '

One of my favorite aspects of performances like this is he's singing intentionally a little bit flat, sometimes dropping flatter, expressing the utter exhaustion of living through depression. The parts he's more pitch perfect on, in comparison, really sound like he's crying out in distress. The singing is so much less important in this piece than the expression, and he nails it. I've heard vocal coaches saying those screams are actually very controlled and healthy; he'd just trained in the style so much to be able to imitate a painful scream. There are apparently several muscles above the vocal folds that create the fry, so his actual voice is unharmed by it.

I think he takes out the hear monitor cuz he know what is comming up next, and if i have understand it right so you hear yourself in it. and if i remember it right so he was tired to play many song cuz his pain, nevermind. i have look at many of this videos with this song and group and no one talks about it, but thank you for a great video and keep it up! All Love from Sweden! Rest in Peace Chester, we all miss you reallt much!

The recorded version was done in a single take and his scream is 17 seconds straight. He changes the note halfway through and it is insane that anyone is/was capable of that. I'd definitely recommend you listen to that version at least once!

Chester Bennington was a lyric tenor and possessed a three octave tenor vocal range, beginning at the low bass G (G2), and reaching its peak at the tenor G (G5). His vocals showed tremendous durability for the entirety of his career. Chester Bennington had the same vocal coach as Michael Jackson, namely Seth Riggs. In an interview Seth Riggs did with redbullmusicacademy he talked about working with him: Q: You worked with Tina Turner on Tommy - can you talk about what that experience was like, preparing her to sing “Acid Queen?” A: I was introduced to her by Ann-Margret, whom I also was working with. She would only be singing [imitates Tina Turner’s upper register], that kind of thing. And she says, “People really love that.” I say “Yes, but it’s abuse.” And I said “Of course, with the money that you have made and the young men that you’ve married, you can pay for anything. You don’t have to sing that, but it would help you if you used [singing in a lower chest register].” She said “Yeah, but that doesn’t give you the character that this does.” I said “I know it doesn’t, but that’s what people do that want to save their voices for a longer term.” That’s sort of the same thing that Michael did when he went [impersonates a Michael Jackson shriek]. But he goes in the chest and then flips into falsetto so he wouldn’t hurt himself. Look at this young man that just killed himself, hung himself. Chester [Bennington]. I showed Chester this. He said “But that’s so easy.” I said, “Chester, you have a wonderful facility, but look. We’re sitting in a car now right? Who is that little baby and that lady sitting over there?” He said “That’s my baby and her nurse.” “I see. And who is the lady with the older child sitting in front of her?” “That’s my child, my older child, and my wife.” “What kind of a car are we sitting in?” “We’re sitting in a Mercedes-Benz.” I said, “How much was it?” He said “This was a special one. The fellow didn’t have the money for it and we got it on sale.” But I said, “How much?” He said, “$150,000.” I said, “Wouldn’t you like to continue this, the way you have it now?” I didn’t know about the other things that plagued him, because I had to read about what they were. We didn’t get into that. I’m not a psychiatrist. But I said, “Could you do it? I know that you pull up a lot of chest when you do it the old way, but the new way, you don’t. So, make you a deal. Get me half and half. Do it ‘half-bad.’” He said “OK, I’ll try that.” It gets them the character they want but without killing their voice.

This is an amazing performance. I have only heard a few of their songs but can easily appreciate Chester. I am stuck in my symphonic metal and doom metal and rarely listen to any American bands (yes i live in USA) I really appreciate your extensive vocal knowledge Anna, i learn so much and to experience that with your emotional reactions and responses as something is going on is priceless. Have you heard of Aleah Stanbridge? i will soon recommend a song.She passed from cancer at 39. Her album with Trees of Eternity was formed with poems of her impending death made into music.How courageous is that!!!. So unique, much of her early music is like a whisper.. Anyway thank you for this video, its humbling to consider Chesters talent and finality. A great loss. Stay wonderful Anna, your very good at that.

Chester Bennington's vocals on Given Up are just tremendous, I never get tired of this song... Put out of my MI SE RYHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Nice video as always, the way you explain it all, while talking in finnish (lenguage I want to learn) is something new for me and I like it. And as a recomendation for a next video what about Immortal Souls with One Last withering Rose or Choke by The Warning? Cheers from Nicaragua.

Going back and listening to all of Linkin Parks music and then knowing what became of Chester (RIP) everyone of these songs was a giant cry for help

i speak several languages, english primary and several others, but i have to remark on how lovely and *connecting* it is to hear people speaking in other languages describing things i love, reminds me how connected we all are, hope you are well : )

Hi Anna! This is my first time listening to you. I really enjoyed your style, and LOVE the mixture of Finnish and English! I was surprised with how different it sounds from Norwegian (given the countries are neighbors) so I had to look up the etymology of the two. Super interesting! Anyway, sorry for going on and on. Loved the reaction and analysis.

I love seeing first reactions to this. When screaming starts people are like "what is going on and how is it still going"

I'm familiar with Linkin Park but also hadn't heard this song until recently, when The Charismatic Voice reacted to it. I was pretty surprised by how metal it sounded. I hadn't heard this side of Chester before. It's a pretty impressive performance. Another thing that really amazed me was how similar his voice is to Spencer Sotelo, of Periphery. Periphery is basically the band that got me into metal, and I had heard Spencer compared to Chester before, but it was still shocking when I saw this video. That might be a fun band for you to look at some day. Not sure if there's a great live video on RU-vid though.

Anna great job with your reaction and analysis of Given Up from Linkin Park (RIP Chester Bennington )he had a Amazing Voice. The first time I saw Lincoln Park they open up for Stone Temple Piolets ( RIP Scott Wyden who was also the lead singer of Velvet revolver .)What a Fantastic show

Thank you so much for sharing your reaction to, and analysis of, this great performance, so full of energy and intense emotion. It was very interesting to hear your technical analysis of how he achieved what he did here. I'm very curious, have you heard their song "The Messenger" from their album "A Thousand Suns"? On the album version, Chester sings a very raw, very authentic version, with 'cleaner' versions performed live. But the way he sings the album version is so interesting to me. It feel different to the aggressive rawness of songs like Given Up, and is unlike cleaner sounds like you hear on Numb. It has so much "imperfection", but it services the song so well; a song from a father to his children, about how they will always be loved and must never forget, sung from a man who seemed to struggle all this life with feeling unworthy, and doesn't want his children to ever feel the same. Even if not for a reaction, I think you'd enjoy hearing it, and find it interesting. Thank you again for the reaction!

There was nothing wrong with you Chester RIP 🙏🏼😥

Chester on mun lempilaulaaja. Hän sai ihmiset nauramaan, itkemään ja "freak out" äänellään yhdessä laulussa. Hän osasi laulaa " Rolling in the deep" tai "Highway to hell" täydellisesti . "Crawling" on yksi semmoisesta biiseistä Linkin Parkilta, jotka on lähes mahdotonta laulaa. En voi kuvitella, että Chesterin kaltaisia ihmisiä tulee enää olemaan.

Chester is was one of the best vocalists in this generation and the next. Rest in peace Chester Bennington

(Español) No entiendo ni una palabra de lo que dices, pero sos hermosa y tu reacción es increible... Linkin park transmite emociones muy fuertes... (ENGLISH) Chester bennington R.I.P. CONGRATULATIONS ANNA your channel is very good, and you are very beautyfull, and your reaction to this song is perfect !!! ♥♥♥

Anna, so fierce in the thumbnail! Love it! 💕

I have read comments by people who saw Linkin Park do this live.. They said the audience went crazy. Every time I watch this video, I can not help but think it was a cry for help from Chester.. But you know what they say 20 - 20 hindsight is 20 -20. His death was such a loss and waste. It still pisses me off. Question -- If you were there at the finish of that song would you not go wild also??? I sure would.......

After his passing this performance became like a monument to how ugly disease depression is. He was literally screaming for help in front of tens of thousands of people and yet no help could reach his subconsciousness.

Thanks for the captions. :) Gave you a like. Love this song!

Hello, I'm from China! Please pay attention to the Chinese rock song, in the style of Linkin park the song was released 7 days ago here is the title of the song: "邱鋒澤FENG ZE , 婁峻碩SHOU(ABYSS ) "

For more information on growling and scream singing check out The Charismatic Voice. Elizabeth is working with Wil Ramos from Lorna Shore. She put a camera down his throat!

Singing like a human, screaming like a devil .... Linkin Park In The End .... By the say, Sanna Marin, we want you also as the next Prime Minister for the Netherlands. A young intelligent lady, only having fun at a party, keep going ....

Have a Wonderful Weekend 🤍

Hello beautiful Anna, it is always good to see you and I hope you are enjoying life to the fullest. Have a great week dear, all the best.

Aina yhtä mukava kuunnella siun reaktioita ja analyysia, vaikken ite laulamisesta tai musiikista juurikaan tiedä. Etenkin tuon pitkän screamin kohdalla oli hauska seurata siun ilmeen muutosta, kun se vaan jatku ja jatku :D

Hello, beautiful Anna!Very cool!Thank you, dear, for the cool reaction.👍🔥🌹🇷🇺

I was just gonna ask about singing with distortion, vocal fry and screaming. It seems screaming is a whole different techniques that isn't for everyone but fry or distortion can be added a little or a lot? I wondered why I didn't like this song as much as Numb, Crawling and In the End. It has the same (or more) emotion after all. I think it has to do with lacking the contrast with Mike's voice and instrumental parts and the songs melodies that give a break in the intensity of the song? Still technically it's awesome and live all this energy on stage works so well!

React to AFI - Miss Murder. Thank you 😘

Thanks for your reaction to LP (R.I.P. Chester). It would be great if you could share your thoughts on Alice in Chains - Love Hate Love (I recommend Live at the Moore version). Another example of a highly intense and emotionally charged performance.

This will be my first time hearing this, 🤔👍 I'm looking forward to it. ⏳

Oho etsin reaktiovideoita mutta en odottanut löytäväni Suomalaista :) Mahtava reaktio Anna. Tilaan!

Hey Anna loved the video and im really sorry i dont speak Finnish im American but anyways ur the most gorgeous Finnish girl i have ever seen (:

He holds it way longer in the album recording.

Chester RIP 🍁🍂🍃🐚

Привет принцесса Анна ❤❤❤❤ According to the technique used by Tatyana (Jinjer) - there is a very professional teacher Melissa Cross. She did a great job of making that sound without compromising health. Type in RU-vid in the search for her name, there will be a lot of her materials and her channel.

"Wow" Is the completely appropriate reaction to Chester 😅

That scream was actually suppost to be together but sometimes he doesn't wanna ruin his vocal cords so he splits the screams.

yeah, in this one he actually stops the scream in between. In this one he holds it the entire time ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i9euUYBygww.html

Chester give something else because he... He give up un 2017 RIP Chester we miss u 💔😭

Would love to see you check out Diana Ankudinova performance of My Love.

Check out this video with all chesters 17 straight seconds given up live performances. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TIAYWkIRBjE.html And please react to "Linkin Park - Faint (Rock am Ring 2007)" if you can. The best live of that song IMO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eTx9XhLlQ58.html

ihanaa löytää tällänen suomalainen!! voisitko reagoida Faouzian biiseihin/covereihin?:) suosittelen esim. Bad Dreams stripped, How it all works out stripped, I know, Elon, Desert rose cover... okei ootkin jo yhen tehny, LISÄÄ SIIS KIITOS😀🤍

Hi Anna!) Can you react to Killswitch Engage and their song "The end of heartache"? Thanks!)

Please do some more American artists! Love the content.

no entiendo ni vrg pero ahi estoy como menso escuchandola hablar todo el rato jajajaja que loco

17 seconds = Chester !!

Think u would like some Alice in chains, particular man in the box for studio version, and down in a hole for acoustic version, love hate love for live performance would be my suggestions

If you can click 5sec back when you paused the video

🙏🙏

Oh hey so i found you again, btw i still love your eye brows haha :D

Kyseisessä se ei kestä kovinkaan pitkään, levyllä (ja muutamalla keikalla) toi scream kestää 17sekuntia

Nice reaction. I recommend Rolling in the deep - Chester Bennington Cover or QWERTY - Linkin Park

Rip chester 😕 i.m from indonesia

just search "given up reaction", this the first video showed, and im not regret😂

U need to listen to the album version with the 17 second scream

So you say that you are not familiar with the song and then you are singing along?

Kopsaatko charistamic Voice kanavaa ku samaa keikkaakin analysoit. Tästä on olemassa keikka jossa Chester vetää 17s huudot putkeen. Mutta kiva kun teet tän Chester on ainoa artisti jota arvostan.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

why the hell did youtube recommend this? it is not my language. however, with the few words i understood it worked. i have no negative to the youtuber. i did enjoy the video.

Next reaction is Dead By Sunrise into you by Chester Bennington

Muito bom 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

You should react to the official video where the scream is looooonger!

I find the switch between Finnish and English very entertaining. xD

suggestion The Main Squeeze A very wicked up and coming band from Chicago that I chanced across at a private festival a few years ago Some of my favorites by them are Tank x-ing Angelus Message to the lonely Whiskey Women and Cocaine (probably the best song ive ever heard ) I think its titled WWC on RU-vid Also, their cover of Man in the Mirror is arguably better than Michael Jackson's original. Heck imma play em now. Even if u don't do a reaction, definitely check them out if you have time!!! Peace 😉

He missed the most important cry

Isn't it weird to think that, when this song came out, it was just an awesome song. And then you look at it through the lens of "Chester committed suicide," you see it for what it really was: Chester literally screaming for help.

Kommentoi joskus bandi jinjer pisces

I would suggest linkin park rolling in the deep cover 😊

очень красиво звучит ваш язык

how come only sometimes english?

Sua on aina niin mukava kuunnella, analyysiä ja jotkut jää mieleen, esim twäng :p Slipknotia odottelen jotain mättöä esim My plague levyltä Iowa

Avenged Sevenfold - A little piece of heaven. Suosittelen

Pistä bring me the horizon reaktiota tulemaan. Biisinä vois olla vaikka Parasite Eve joku live versio!

Chester Given up 17 seconds

you are reviewing a one off concert where he may have struggled with energy but also substance abuse so I don't call this fare

Psst..there is a new Electric Callboy song you need to check out/react to. It’s a 2 minute wild ride and I want to see you laugh. 😁

GOD PLEASE GRANT ME A FINNISH WIFE SO I CAN HEAR NA'VI ALEKSIB EVERY DAY

Hyva veto..ma vaan veikkàn 18 sec huuto

Marry me Anna haha

@Anna Vaskelainen - I will never get it... Don´t you people do ANY kind of RESEARCH, before reacting to stuff?? Why would ANYONE react to this particular version..?? That´s just ignorant, and a WASTE of EVERYONE´s time... Including yours.

She has no idea what she's reacting on ha

It’s actually insane how much you Finnish dodge real music for throat play..
