@@jbs256 The Poppy Family with Susan Jacks and Terry Jacks(brother and sister) were also from Vancouver, British Columbia, as the band Heart was from Seattle and also lived in Vancouver. Sorry but The Poppy Family is better than Heart and Susan Jacks is better than Ann and Nancy Wilson/
Nice! What a relief to hear that you don't limit yourself to Carpenters/pop style music, as great as Karen Carpenter was, the pop orchestral treatment of most of her songs limited her appeal to wider audiences. Music with weight and substance can be made in pop format as Karen proved with her body of work, but sometimes it is an uphill battle. Eva Cassidy , Ann Wilson, and Ann Lenox are all performers to admire, so excited to see where your talent and taste take you!
I agree with your K. Carpenter comment. The "dated" arrangements were probably R. Carpenter's fault. But there is also a risk in singing songs you like, rather than songs your voice is tailored for. An example is Allison Iraheta, who had a fabulous voice for ballads but her dream was to be a "rocker chick". The problem was her voice distorted at high volumes giving a slight fingernail-on-chalkboard effect. Bilingual, she would have been a great star singing English and Spanish ballads.
@@heru777mediaim a sub to her channel....ive told her...but she seems to like shorts. Such a tease! Id love to hear full v see version of this but what a badass clip! Thanks for sharing
Take care of your hands and precious voice box... The tools of your trade. Thank you for channeling the classic artists and for creating happiness. We need you.
This is ridiculous. I've heard Tori sing ballads and do her overdubbing magic on pro equipment. Had no idea she had this much facility on guitar. I've called her brilliant, but now I'm trying to find an adjective that surpasses that. She's drop-dead amazing. Add to that her humble, quiet demeanor, and I'm at a loss for words. The world's musical sleeper talent.
Tori has said she can’t go where Ann did. The response is always, go where YOU go! We’re all good with that. BTW her sister CAN belt it out, so colab? She obviously has Nancy down! See her in action on the new full length “Suddenly” from Xanadu.
@@rojoeditor wait. I’m totally confused. I’m seeing Tori’s hands except when she’s “Ann”? The Heart video is available everywhere. This is the IG/TT version of her video so it’s not truncated like the YT video. The focus is on Tori, here.
@@jbs256 I was in a rush when I wrote the response. At 39 seconds, the angle changes, and Tori's right hand is mostly not visible. I've always been amazed by the way Nancy plays that part, and I wanted to see how Tori played it.
@@rojoeditor Ahah! I see what you mean. I’m not a guitar player, but own 2, don’t ask. LOL To me I can see it’s a general strum. What impressed me here was how Tori executed the harmonic. It rings so loud. I’ve seen Nancy do it many times and it’s softer. Also in this video Heru used Nancy is using a 12 string Ovation. Tori is on a 6 string Ovation 1979. In the concert in the wind storm in Japan. Nancy is on a similar six string Ovation, the show with the looooong solo. That was 1977 I believe so Nancy would have needed the yet to be invented DeLorean to get the 1979 Tori has.
@@heru777media You go girl!! Love your voice and totally impressed with your guitar work. Don't let them get to you. James Griffin and I recorded a duet of For All We Know just before he lost his voice to lung cancer. As you know Jimmy co-wrote the song and the song won an Oscar. He had only recorded a demo of it, Bread never did their own version. They should have 😊 To this day I get mixed reviews, some people adore it, other people have savaged me for not sounding like Karen, ha ha I am me and that's all I can be. I will tell you, I heard about you from Jimmy's cousin who also thinks your voice is great AND from my bestie who was mentored by James. We LOVE your version of Baby I'm-A Want you. My bestie did a cover of it a couple of years ago and both versions are OUTSTANDING. Rock on Tori! PS If you want to hear either version search on here Sensory Triggered channel, Baby I'm-A Want You and Holly Cieri with James Griffin on the Superstar in a Masquerade channel.
Heru! Duuuude!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ That may just be the best handling of a Short video I’ve ever seen. You said you had an “idea.” No kidding! ✅✅✅ And you got the “I” one. Well done! I appreciate the arts! 🎦 That other viewer, Bruce, I told you about ‘that group” it’s his group. Now I want to see you handle all her Beatles covers. 😄 Rock On my friend! Joe
@@heru777media she did Dreamboat Annie about a year ago. It holds up well, just singing. You could askkkk? 🤷🏻♂️ Edit: What did you think of her guitar playing, loved your syncing it up. So cool.
Heru, I can’t link it. On “I” Tori just dropped last night; Sometimes by Carpenters. On “I” it’s a full length A Capella performance. On RU-vid she uploaded a truncated version. Argh. It’s a short song already. But, I’m not crying, really, I’m not. Reaction, please 🙏.
@@heru777media I am having trouble answering. Edit: It is in her “Shorts”playlist. Edit: OMG I can answer, I think. I’ve been in limbo. Do you another social account, you can hook with me on? Fb I etc?
@@heru777media I’m gonna take a shot and try a link. This is so darn cool. OMG, headphones are best. I learned on Tori’s fb page. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_mQCjHL3fiQ.htmlsi=t1YFKF5Wop_EPsdM
@@heru777media hey Heru! I see you lurking and giving a ❤️. I hope you are well and just taking 5. I’m taking a 5 if you will. I’ll just be looking but not major requesting. Hard to explain in the open. We’ll see how it goes. Be well, my friend! Joe
Tori's vocals are WAY too mellow. It's like she recorded this in the basement of her parents house in the middle of the night and didn't want to wake them. Ann Wilson is a true rock singer. She knows and can use the technique of screaming to get the emotion across. If Tori can do that too, I would invite her to re-record this section and really show us what she can do with it.
@@heru777media Yes. Drummer since 1981. Singer (school choir) 1976-1981. Foreigner's "Hot Blooded" is a classic example of "Rock Singing" where you're singing so hard, you're pretty much yelling, but still singing. Heart's "Barracuda" is another classic example of Rock singing.
I know Lou Gramm, and Ann Wilson quite well... Both were in their prime in the songs you mentioned mate... Tori has her entire life ahead of her, and I believe that she will get there. Cheers!
Wow. A true professional opinion of a music critic. We can't wait to hear your talent broadcast to the world and read the opinions of others too.... Oh, you don't have that level of talent. Never mind.
Michael, Michael, Michael, why dont you just direct your negative vibes to someone else's Channel... I am quite sure that they are just waiting on you! Thanks!
Tori has a great voice and is an impeccable Karen Carpenter sound-alike. The question with this song is, is she trying for an accurate cover or her interpretation of Heart's iconic hit? If she's going for an original sounding cover, it lacks the song's intensity and drive inherent in the original. It's almost like she's doing a Carpenter's version of Heart & Ann Wilson's vocal. Slower tempo with glossed edges. Ann is notable for her tremendous range and fierce intensity, and in this song Tori misses that mark, IMO. OTOH, if this is her interpretation, homage, to the Heart classic, then that's a different story and she is entitled to do her version in her own way.
Just let her sing it how she wants to in her own right. I hope she tries to steer away from being a "cover artist" and just goes for being her own self artist who occasionally sings other singers' songs. You don't hear Wynonna, Celine, Adele, Streisand, etc., etc., deliberately try to sound like another artist that they're covering. They're just singing the freaking song in honor of another artist. This whole "sound exactly like another artist" is ridiculous. Who wants wannabe copycats? I don't. I love an artist who can put a different twist on a classic song like this. You go, Tori! Beautiful! And Great Job!
I would agree she doesn't have as "powerful" a voice as Ann Wilson but I would say this is Tori doing her own take on the song. That's regarding the guitar play and the vocals.
