Rock Singer's FIRST TIME Reaction to Jinjer " Teacher Teacher" 

I understand why everybody loves Tatjana. Belive me, I do too. She is a force of nature on stage with a brilliant vocal capability... But can we please give some respect and love to the guys too? They are some of the best at their individual crafts in the business. This breakdown is one of the sickest I know and they are all perfect. Jinjer is near musical perfection top to bottom.

For heavier try their song "Sit, Stay, Roll Over" and good live performance try Pit of Consciousness (Live in Kiev).

That moshpit it's called "wall of death", really funny! You should check Perennial live at Wacken, it´s amazing!

The Wall of Death is a common enough event at concerts that many of the concert-goers know to expect it at some point. The singer divides the audience into two halves; and then the band and the audience go completely nuts at the same time. Circle pits are less organised : they actually happen spontaneously just as a result of the random motion of the audience. For more Jinjer, pretty nearly anything is good, but there are a few that particularly stand out : Judgement and Punishment (single-take vocal recording, in which the camera stays focused on Tati the whole time); Sit Stay Roll Over; Perennial (live at Wacken 2019. It's the last song of their set and demonstrates Tati's vocal stamina); and Home Back (just a great song with a very cool video. This was released in 2020, and I don't think they've yet had the opportunity to perform it live).

Tatiana loves all kinds of music and likes to bring all kinds of music into her singing and performances. The three long-time members of the band grew up in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, but the war there in 2014 after the Russian occupation of Crimea would have made it impossible to continue touring so they moved to western Ukraine and currently live in Kiev. Last year when lockdowns cancelled all their tours she spent the 6 months of her US visa in southern California with her beau Alex Lopez, drummer of Suicide Silence, and he's now in Ukraine hanging out with them as they record their new album. Vlad is from western Ukraine and joined in 2016 or 2017. In principle, the guys compose the music and send Tati demos, then she finds inspiration for lyrics and weaves her vocal performance into the music. They've said, or at least implied that there isn't any back-and-forth iteration in their composition. Eugene says they don't know what Tati is going to sing until she shows up to record her vocals, Tati says "they don't even ask me" about the music. Though Roman said Tati had been constantly asking for more reggae so when he came up with a riff that had a reggae vibe he went with it and that was the beginning of Judgement & Punishment - the other song with a bit of reggae is Who Is Gonna Be The One with the official live being the one to do. For the most incredible switching between growls and cleans, check out Sit Stay Roll Over live in Melbourne - the studio version has different growling and clean lines cut together in a very aggressive and chaotic combination, so seeing her replicate that live is a treat, and she injects a section with low growls in the Melbourne performance (she does her growls differently in every show to avoid boredom - in 2019 they did 152 shows). To hear more melodic stuff, Bad Water is all cleans and very bluesy (I think that's what it is, anyway). I Speak Astronomy is one of her few love songs and is mostly cleans, she did featured vocals on Suicide Silence's cover of AIC's Man In The Box which is great. Not really a reaction request but I doubt anyone would complain if you did, here is Tati with a side-project band doing 22 minutes of Latin-infused Nirvana covers ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NXi0ghf3esU.html

Tatiana writes most of the lyrics They are about to release a new album this year by the way

I'm a new Jinjer fan. What I've heard is that when Tatiana decided she likes the "growl" she went to the edge of town so as not to disturb her family, and screamed at cars passing by until she figured it out. I have also heard that the band writes the music and then Tatiana sings lyrics to the music. Things will mesh around that combination until the final song takes shape so, it is an unconventional collaboration. According to Tatiana, she has not studied much music other than appreciation. I think the band is fully Ukrainian but the band fled before the unrest. There are great interviews with the Tatiana and the band on RU-vid but I don't have links right now, however, a search for Jinjer interview should pull up a bunch. If you like more lyrical music I would suggest checking out Home Free. Three songs that are good starters are Ring of Fire (featuring Avi), Folsom Prison Blues, and Man of Constant Sorrow. I would suggest picking one to watch and decide if you want to react to the others from that. It might not be your type of music exactly but I believe you will be fully impressed.

Try Judgment and Punishment she is a good Reggae singer aswell.

Jinjer "Perennial" Live from Wacken 2019. Awesome song and performance :)

My favorite performance is Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv

I've said it many times before and I'll say it many more times. That's Tatiana's stage. She walks on she just commands your attention Not to take away from everyone else. The musicianship all around is finessed. The story telling all around is top notch

This is my fav... Tatiana is awesome... That was the wall of death... The crowd separated... And thumbs up for tequilaaaaaaaaaaaa....

I think 'I Speak Astonomy' would be a good one for your next reation!

Check out her song “I speak astronomy”.I shows more of her singing range.

Great reaction Anastasia. The guys, Eugene (bass), Roman (guitar), and Vlad (drums) compose the music, they then hand it to Tatiana, she comes up with the lyrics, writes them in Russian, and then translates them into English. Jinjer is entirely from Ukraine, Tati, Eugene, and Roman are from Eastern Ukraine, Vlad is the only member who is not. They all currently live in Kiev/Kyiv from what I've read. As far as your next Jinjer reaction, I'm gonna suggest reacting to Perennial live at Wacken open Air 2019, you'll really get to see how amazing they are live, and Tati's vocals are just incredible. Peace and as always, stay Metal. 😊🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶

You might want to watch the one take version of Tatyana singing "Judgement and Punishment".

Tatiana writes most of her lyrics, but only after the band has come up with the music. Fun reaction!

It's called the wall of death, when the song slows down the crowd separates, when it hits again they smash in the middle. It's crazy!!!

Jinjer’s Sit, Stay, Roll Over is pure aggression. And she still had her dreds.💪🏻🤘🏻

Now go for: Perenial Live at waken Judgement... one take Homeback

Eugene on bass still reminds me of Tyrion Lannister. "I play bass and I rock people!"

This is the band that gives me hope for music today.

They ask the pit to separate and then give the command to rush... It is awesome.

Tatiana has such an amazing stage presence.. She's ten feet tall on stage, even if she's only 5'4" in person. I can't wait to see them live.

Tatiana is self taught, but she loves many types of music including blues, raggae, hip hop, and jazz. Generally the rest of the band writes the music and then Tatiana writes the lyrics and vocals after.

Great reaction. As others have already stated, I would recommend Perennial Live at Wacken 2019, Whos is Gonna Be the One Live, Cloud Factory Live and Pit of Consciousness Live at Kiev. Have fun! We'll be waiting for more Jinjer.

At the end they did a Wall of Death. Usually someone starts to organize the split and then they clash together turning into a Mosh Pit. Sometimes the band encourages it! Great video btw. Also listening to your songs on Spotify.

*pause* *BANG💥* "TEACH TEACH SELF PROCLAIMED PREACHER!!" I get chills no matter how many times I hear it 🤩🤩. Also side note: As a drummer, I wish I had a fraction of the talent Vlad shows on the drum kit. One of the best in metal! Respect

“I don’t know how the venue doesn’t collapse “ that sums it up I’d say

No training, it's just her thing. She's a beast

If you want to hear her sing a beautiful belt you have to do a reaction I Speak Astronomy .

That is one of the 3 basic styles of mosh pits called the Wall of Death. The other two are the more common, usually smaller versions being the Circle pit which you described which can pop up anywhere in the crowd, and the basic Stationary pit which is usually front and center of the stage with no defined direction or borders just a lot of jumping and pushing. Hopefully Jinjer's shows will go on as planned this year. There should be one down your way in Warsaw Brooklyn Nov 23. I'll be going to either that one or the one in New Haven CT Nov 20 which is a little closer to me. I should also be going to get my new ink done soon. Jinjer and Nightwish Tats are the perfect way to celebrate shit starting to get back to normal.

At the end it's called the Wall of Death when they run in at each other

You have a beautiful voice.

I believe Tatiana had an interview with the channel of Beth Roars, also TankTheTech had a chat with her and another member of the band

If you're looking for more, check out "Cloud Factory official live video", "Who Is Gonna Be The One live", "Retrospection", and Tatiana's one take vocal performance of "Judgement and Punishment", which is great for vocalists to react to.

Tatiana is also a really good artist off the stage, the split of the audience is called a wall of death.

One of my favorite Jinjer song and performances. Great song. Beautiful woman with an amazing voice. Thank you for this reaction.

The ENERGY holy sh** yes! I love Jinjer and your two reactions to them, subbed when I saw your Pisces reaction, thank you for bringing Jinjer to more people! For most of their songs, the three guys write most of the instrument music, then Tatiana writes most of the lyrics and melodies. Roman the guitarist has written a lot of the instrument music in the past, but I heard that Vlad the drummer wrote more or most of it for the album about to drop. I'm not sure how much Eugene composes, but I know that apart from his amazing work on the bass, he adds riffs and writes some of the lyrics. The band (all members have been Ukrainian, with Russian their first language) started in eastern Ukraine in 2009 as a group of five with none of the current members (they consider the official start of the band as 2010 when Tatiana replaced the male vocalist and Roman joined as lead guitar) and Vlad is the fifth drummer (joined in 2016) and it's been a band of four since 2015. I think they're still friends with all the former members. One of the things I love most about Jinjer is the messages in Tatiana's lyrics and the growling being so powerful for expressing the anger and pain in those messages: the anti-war message in Home Back, the anti-greed in On The Top and No Hoard Of Value (also the horror of the coal mining industry in their home Ukraine), the protest song Who Is Gonna Be The One, the anti-fascism of Sit Stay Roll Over, the anger at people being narrow minded in Teacher Teacher (as you saw here) and Judgment & Punishment, the struggles with mental health in Pit Of Consciousness and Perennial, the giving voice to mother nature angry at humanity for destroying her in a bunch of songs like Ape, The Prophecy, Cloud Factory, Noah and Bad Water. Other favorites are I Speak Astronomy, Retrospection, Words of Wisdom, Just Another, Captain Clock, Scissors, Outlander, Exposed As A Liar, I Want It I'll Get It, A Plus Or A Minus, Dip A Sail, When Two Empires Collide, Beggar's Dance and lainnereP. I haven't found a Jinjer song I don't love, so I think you can't go wrong if you choose any of them, but a few good choices might be Perennial (live at Wacken), Judgement & Punishment (Tatiana's one take performance), Pit of Consciousness (live in Kiev/Kyiv) or the heartwrenching plea against war in Home Back (official video). Enjoy! ❤🤘

I speak astronomy highlights her clean vocals

Oh, you are going to love ''Sit, stay, roll over'' its one of my most favorite, they are smashing it there

Sit stay roll over ..you will be blown away its 🔥!!!!

At the end, that was a Wall of Death. A couple other songs you should check out are Perennial (live at Wacken) and I Speak Astronomy. They both have a good mix of clean vocals and growls, but I think Perennial has more cleans. From what I understand, Vlad (drums), Eugene (bass) and Roman (guitar) write the music first. Then Tatiana (vocals) writes the lyrics to the music. I think Eugene has written some lyrics. Pretty sure that he wrote Dreadful Moments and I heard he wrote that last section in Pisces.

Love your cover snippets and reactions!! To see Tatiana up close and personal, and to see her posture and positions, watch "Judgement & Punishment - One Take Vocal Performance". It's a super creative song, and further showcases this bands influences and amazing song writing abilities!!

my first mosh pit was at a Ministry concert, I was young around 17 or so, so early 90s. I was also only 5'9" and 135 lbs and most the moshers were nordic 6'4" and 250lbs blonde hair and scary...they would knock me down but pick me right back up. You look out for each other in the pit. I did get seriously injured once at a local show in Denton Texas, a band called Brutal Juice, was in the pit and this one guy's head was coming up as mine was going down and we collided. Saw a white flash and blood was streaming down my face. Had to get stitches and that pretty much stopped my mosh pit adventures.

A couple of funny facts about band. High education of Tatiana... the teacher. And she is the author of almost their lyrics, she is a good poet. The biggest musical professional of them, a multi-instrumentalist with a higher musical education, their ... drummer Vlad.

Love your reactions to Jinjer. Two of her influences are Amy winehouse and Gwen Stefani from No doubt. If you want aggression check out sit stay roll over. Trust me you won't be disappointed.

Love this one! Plus, love the Marilyn Monroe pic.

Welcome to the world of jinjer! Her pit monsters are frikin awesome! Wyoming like!

Perennial live at Wacken must react this next time jinjer 😊

These two next: Perennial Live at Wacken Judgement & Punishment one take Also another band to check out: Spiritbox - Rule of Nines one take

Told you, you'd like this one, hahahahahaha, the band loves all genres of music, so try Judgment and Punishment which is an homage to Reggae, you'll be amazed

I love how she keeps calling her tiny😂

Just found ya Tatiana is probably the coolest person in the room anywhere she goes

Jinjer - Judgement and Punishment one take video.

It's so funny to hear you say in these old videos that you would never growl...and look at you now!

You should react to: -Outlander (official video ), -Ape, -Retrospection, -on the top, I speak astronomy, Cloud factory, Etc, etc

Awesome! Just subscribed. You've got to do their songs "Pit of Consciousnes" and "On the Top" both live in Kiev! You will love them both!!

Careful with that head banging while listening to Tatiana. If you get anymore excited by her you gonna slide right out of that seat. 😆

Tatiana loves to incorporate many genre's into her songs, blues,jazz, regae rock metal etc. Watch Jinjer - Judgement and Punnishment one take

Thank you for a great reaction : )

Jinjer - judgement & Punishment 1 take recording is a must for you.

I think you gonna like Spiritbox too, maybe "Holy Roller" or "Rule of Nines" to start with :)

I speak Astronomy official video Perennial live at Whaken Retrospection official video. (She sings in her native Russian) Judgement & Punishment one take vocal Mad Water official video (no growls at all)

There are so many good songs that I could recommend, but I think you would most enjoy I speak astronomy

The moshpit is the best part about metal. Easily the best therapy I've ever had lol

she has god given talent

It's a "Wall of Death".. That's how they open the pit, by separating the crowd on two sides then dash for the middle.. You like the aggressive blast beats when they kick in? Interesting, there's a lot more to you than just what first meets the eye...

👍 have fun. Awesome band.

I don't know that they do it this way for every song, but they've stated in some interviews that Eugene, Vlad, and Roman create the music, and give a recording of it to Tatiana, who then creates the lyrics for it, 'though I'm fairly certain it's not as disconnected/non collborative of a process as my description may make it sound.

Check out Bad Water. No growls just clean vocals from Tatiana 🤘🖤

Ella Fitzgerald and Amy Winehouse are two of Tatiana's female singing references (before she got the Rock and Metal voice influences from Sandra Nasic and Otep). That's where she got those jazzy, bluesy vocal traits from. You should react to a video that has short clips of Tatiana "fooling around", singing Edit Piaf, Freddy Mercury (with a fake moustache and all), Adele, a traditional Mexican song, you name it! It's a good show of Tatiana's capabilities, since they're raw performances, on the spur of the moment, without any enhancements or studio "magic". : )

Tati writes the lyrics aaaanddd she loves Amy Winehouse, there’s her bluesy influence, she is self thought

If you want to check out some of their older work then Желаю Значит Получу (I want it I'll get it) might be worth a listen

Heh I am 52 and I still mosh... The energy is amazing.

From what I heard, the band writes the instrumental music, and then Tati writes the song part and lyrics after that.

Lol... that was the "Wall of Death"

That's called the wall of death

Judgment and Punishment ( one take vocal performance)

It’s not over till lead singer Femme Fatale Tatiana Shmailyuk gets the WALL OF DEATH!!!! Wait what, the drummer is using “DOUBLE BUTTED STICKS “meaning there is no tip-end of the drum stick, nice!!

There's many interview videos here on you tube as well as behind the scenes studio updates you should check out. Tatiana is a total Amy Winehouse fan so much she has Amy tattooed on her. She is also a big Gwen Stefani and Pink fan as well as Bob Marley.

the band write the music and then she writes lyrics , she sang in a reggae band called The Kodri before joining jinjer , some of their videos are on here.

A masterpiece

Check out "I speak astronomy" live from jinjer

she has an awesome singing voice smooth like silk

Ha yes the venue that was filmed at in 5th white jumpsuit is like a pit maker. There's a floor then 3 steps down into this pit. It always goes off. Circle pits & wall of death are pretty well organised tbh. Lol I'm an old goth but I've done some intense pits in my time.

JINJER CAME FROM THE Ukraine

Ex Libris - The Motherland OFFICIAL VIDEO. Thus song is one of many about The Romanovs .

this band is off the bloody hook

Perennial live at Wacken

I believe she said in an interview that if she never did metal, she'd have done Jazz or Blues. Also, you should check out "On The Top" she does a little more belting and singing (although the verses are still growls). I don't think I've ever seen a reaction channel listen to this song

Another good one and an older song is Outlander. Back when Tati had dreads and there was an extra guitarist (Dmitriy- which was one of the original members of the band) and a different drummer before Vlad- which is their current.

Ничоси)))

Cheers for reviewing this great track ) If you love-love-love songs full of energy and agression - you may consider reacting to latest Slaughter To Prevail "Baba Yaga" )

You will love the live of Perennial live from wacken. Their song Home Back is just brutal the composition musically is just dirty AF and Tati let's out some all of her most vicious growls. They decided to leave their home country in Donetsk Ukraine in 2013-14 because of the still ongoing conflict there. They rarely get the chance to go back home and visit their families and friends.

Try Perennial Oficial Videoclip, not the live as everybody is going to ask for. Or try both. 🤘🏻

Simply said, I like your voice 🤗

Amazing piece of music! One of their masterpieces! For more of her singing range and crazy switch between cleans and vocals try "Perennial" live at Wacken 2019 or "I Speak Astronomy" official. Great reaction, entertaining and fun.

Love your reaction & your singing;-)

Отличная реакция, спасибо :) И, кстати говоря, интересно звучат Ваши композиции. Интересно влияние Nightwish. Основные факты о группе и Татьяне примерно такие: - группа основана в 2009 в г. Горловка. Это рядом с Донецком на востоке Украины. Изначально группа играла, большей частью, металкор. - в нынешнем составе группы нет ни одного из основателей. Само название осталось изначальным, но нынешние участники группы не знают, что оно означает. - хотя все нынешние участники пришли в группу позднее, но с группой уже довольно давно - около 10 лет, плюс-минус (они приходили не одновременно). За исключением барабанщика Влада - он присоединился к группу, кажется, в 2016. Он в группе уже 5й барабанщик. Татьяна когда-то присоединилась к группе "временно, пока не найдется постоянная замена ушедшему вокалисту". Пока не нашлась. - барабанщик Влад отличается от остальных участников группы. Во-первых, он не с востока Украины, а из центра. Остальные участники группы были знакомы между собой с детства или ранней молодости, а с Владом они познакомились уже как музыканты - он раньше был участником другой заметной украинской группы, они пересекались на каких-то фестивалях. Во-вторых, Влад - единственный в группе не самоучка, а с академическим музыкальным образованием. Причем, у него образование по классу фортепиано. Есть в ютубе видео, где он Рахманинова играет. Кроме того, он прилично играет и на гитаре. - сама Татьяна почти не училась вокалу с преподавателем - в детстве взяла несколько уроков и все. Вообще она по образованию учитель, закончила институт иностранных языков. Но не решилась работать по специальности - не смогу, говорит, учить детей, которые меня видели на концерте. - до Jinjer Татьяна пела в нескольких группах. Но, естественно, все это были группы местного, городского масштаба. Некоторые из них действительно играли музыку в духе рэгги, ска, лаунж, в таком ключе. Есть в сети несколько очень старых бутлегов, где очень молодая Татьяна поет в таком стиле каверы на разные песни - как старые советские рок-хиты, так и, например, обработку Nirvana с явным влиянием рэгги. Звук и видео плохи, но очень интересно. - в сети есть видео интервью каналу Loudwire, где Татьяна рассказывает, как научилась кричать. Вкратце говоря, однажды она услышала Otep, сначала не поверила, что это женщина, потом захотела научиться так же. Потом ходила вдоль трассы и кричала на машины, кричала дома в подушку и т.п. Только после нескольких лет тренировок решилась показать это коллегам по группе (другой, еще до Jinjer), сначала получалось плохо, но годы упорных тренировок дали эффект. - Татьяна говорит, что она не знает толком, как она гроулит. И рада бы, говорит, научить других, но не знаю, как это сделать - не разбираюсь в терминологии и физиологических нюансах. Говорит, пробовала разные техники, описываемые в ютубе - но все как-то не особо ей подходит. Сама Татьяна описывает свою технику вокала так - у меня, говорит, как будто два горла, одно для обычного вокала, второе - для экстремального. Я просто пою то одним, то другим горлом, когда мне нужно. "Экстремальным" горлом петь легче - иногда во время концерта устаю петь обычным голосом и больше, чем обычно, рычу. - люди, которые разбираются, утверждают, что она гроулит с помощью "ложных связок", т.ч. обычные голосовые связки в этом не заняты и совсем не страдают. - факт в том, что сама Татьяна не очень любит регулярно слушать тяжелую музыку. Хотя были разные периоды, но в целом она больше увлекается как раз джазом, рэгги, даже рэпом, и вокалистами типа Гвен Стефани, Эми Уайнхаус, Эллы Фитцджеральд или Боба Марли. В недавнем интервью она сказала, что сейчас у неё в плейлисте нет ничего тяжелее Бритни Спирс.
