Sabrina Carpenter: Espresso (Live) - SNL 

Man…I normally don’t like backup dancers bc they rarely add to a performance, and there’s usually too many of the them (my main gripe)…but these 2…I’m feelin’ They were great here! I’m gonna watch this again, for them Lol

I can't take my eyes off them!!

hell naw

Does anyone know who they are?

they were so good!!

i feel like that was on purpose

lip synching will do that (maybe not full lip-synching, but using her own lead vocal as a backing track)

@@GregTuckerKellogg it wasnt the lead vocal, it was the harmonies and adlibs, which literally most singers

did well*😊

It boggles the mind why they didn't use a mouth mic.

Bro it's pretty clear she's lip syncing...

@@bajablast9176Baby get your ears checked my love 💀

Right I’m going to war in the comments for my girl 😭

@@bajablast9176please stop being dumb. the backing tracks are the AD LIBS of the song. she was singing.

@@carolinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaPeriod sis! I’m just gonna watch the performance again not scrolling through the comments, these dumb clowns be making me MAD 🤣

That's @_peterpinnock

Sensational everything

If you call lip syncing "slaying" then sure... I remember the days when people could actually sing Without backing tracks or auto-tune. Gone are the days.

@@c0pyimitati0nbut they would just stand and sing

​@@jjk4754So is Sabrina Carpenter better than Whitney Houston? It's better to be able to sing like Whitney than to suck on both singing and dancing like Sabrina.

@@maurizioscorzamerda6353 whitney houston is one of the best singers ever known obviously they have different voices and comparing is stupid

@@jjk4754 I was taking aim at your "earlier singers stood still" argument. If the main attraction in a song is the singing, then staying put makes perfect sense. If you’re going to move, do it with flair. Take Britney Spears or Madonna-neither are stellar vocalists, but they know how to put on a show. Meanwhile, powerhouses like Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Louis Armstrong, and Billie Holiday can captivate an audience without budging an inch. So, explain to me why Sabrina lip-synced the entire performance if her dance routines are basic? If she can’t handle both, why not just stand still and sing? The cold, hard truth is that Sabrina can neither dance nor sing.

It's finally her time to shine!

I know I'm so happy she's finally making it big!!

@@starrr365 yes and those who have been with her in the beginning are happy to witness it 😭

so trueeeeee

Omg I didn't realize she was that height

Finally I'm the right height to be a backup dancer!

Never heard of her

Well said. SNL actually seems to have a long history of having the backing too loud. I'm getting older and often have been annoyed my fave solo acts have been drowned out.

@@Kindnessisnotweakness that's exactly what happened to Ashlee Simpson. but they played the wrong track and she got "caught". but really it's SNL's doing.

Belting?? 😂 🙄 speaking into a microphone and then speaking louder one time towards the end is not belting.

Exactly! People are comparing her to Say So era Doja Cat, but it’s clear Sabrina loves her fans and will never turn on them. 🥰

@@markramos1216 you clearly don't understand doja's situation at all.

I had possibility to analyse her fan communication on Instagram and I would like to state that Sabrina is the niciest professional I have ever virtually staned 🤩

You confuse good fanservice with being nice .😂😂

@@harleyqueeennot everyone needs to give good “fan service” whatever that means. plenty of celebs completely ignore fans in public and they’re allowed to.

Helps when you're juat dancing and not singing

@@MrManiac2591 she’s literally singing are you deaf or stupid

Yea cuz what you’re hearing is 85% track. The actual “live” singing is soooo low in the mix. She’s essentially just singing along (very quietly) to the record.

shes sinning girl where your ears at@@MrManiac2591

the mic is just not loud enough@@mrwassef

She is so beautiful and talented she really doesn’t need to sexualize herself (just my opinion though)

I know that sex sells, but sometimes less is more (look at what Britney being sexualized did to her) 😥

​@@abbiedLess is more is exactly how sex sells. Look at Megan thee stallion Vs Britney Spears. And you'd agree Britney is the more sexualized one.

⁠here yall go 😭😭 she’s confident in her sexuality and it’s a problem when men sing and rap about the same thing all the time

Absolutely!

Peter Pinnock and Jay Tellis

😬that's how far and lazy this country is? That's impressive? If a person CANT get up like that, it's time to get off the couch and get in shape 🤔smh

Yep, and had no audible change, lip sync 😂

@@tb-dv1zcso agree with you. She’s a young woman!

@@tb-dv1zcyou can stand up on a slippery bar counter with high heels with no effort? Wow kudos to you.

Yeah, it's like she's only 25 years old or something.

How can you tell?

@@GODDESS1966don’t be oblivious it’s annoying

@@bori2100 I'm not being oblivious, I just can't hear her with all of the background music. Her voice needs to be louder than the music.

I'd hope prerecorded vocals are great 😂

@@MrManiac25912:48 This is lip sync?? 😂

That's Peter Pinnock, pure charisma. He's actually blind in one eye (an arrow accident when he was 4).

Back track is easier to harmonize.

I think her background singers are great and can kinda meet her where she’s at better than the backtrack. Both together might be too much?

Yeah she had some effects on her mic too

They are just harmonies

She adds a lot of harmonies in her songs and loves the product and so she lets them be during live performances. It leaves no room for any emptiness and is also helpful when u wanna take a breath during the performance, especially because she's usually constantly dancing. Though I too would love it if I could hear just her voice, she probably finds it more fun to include a lot of loud backtracks. She doesn't use the backtracks in acoustic performances.

You should hear the uncensored version of this song. Funny how disney girls grow up and do explicit work.

​@@disastermaster1413 Whoa, are you telling me child actors don't let one company they worked for as a kid define their whole lives? Shocking.

@@batkat0 are you telling me you know nothing about what an image is? Shocking. When a person has an image especially if it’s a clean cut wholesome one. If that person does anything outside of that character especially if they’ve been doing it for a long time. It’s hard for people to accept it especially when it goes from g to r. Hollywood is known for perverting kids and it leads most child actors into a perverted adulthood. Look at the producer of the nickelodeon shows. I’m stating my opinion based on my observation over several people that went from child star to adult star. If you don’t like it you can kiss my backside.

@@batkat0 I have a right to my opinion, so if you don’t like it don’t read it.

@@batkat0 I tried to explain myself but RU-vid censored it. It’s a pity you don’t understand me.

literally. he got so luckyyy

what’s 4 + 4????

@@AmongUs-fk6tf ATE😍⭐️

Wow, she must be hungry because she's eating everything. I guess ate is the new killed. Where's my eyeroll emoji?

Those dudes ate it too goddamn.

For me she looks more like Cloe (from Bratz) but still so beautiful 🥰💕
