Vocal Coach Matt Ramsey reacts to Sara Bareilles performing "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John live. Master Your Voice Singing Course: ramseyvoice.co...
Elton John reacted to Sara’s version of this and said, “nobody ever has to sing this song again.” He became friends with her and did a duet with her on one of her songs.
The register that she chooses for this is challenging for her on the lowest notes but it puts the belt dead center in her sweet spot. Tough song to do due to the range in it.
Her choices vocally are all for creating the dramatic effect she wants to have. If she did it “technically perfectly”, she wouldn’t get the same dramatic effect. It would be boring. She is my favorite singer on the planet.
She slays tis song. What a triumph. Very interesting to hear your analysis of her vocal technique. (And I loved seeing the guitar player, at rest, enjoying her performance).
Love your videos and your sense of humor. Have watched many of your reaction videos and always appreciate how much technical details they have. But this the first time I get impatient with the pauses simply because this performance just really gets me and I can't help being taken away by it. Still love the detailed analysis tho.
