Tori Kelly - PYT by Michael Jackson (Acoustic Cover) 

Can we also talk about the guitar skills???

can we talk about 2:24 - 2:30 though LIKE IS SHE EVEN REAL

VOCAL CONTROL IS RIDICULOUS!!! Not to mention her finger dexterity on the acoustic! WHAT A TALENT! SUCH A BLESSING!!!!!

*Simon Cowell has left the chat*

2:24 for anyone wanting to just replay her riff

who keeps replaying 2:24 - 2:29 ?? i luv it sooo much

Can I hit the notes?: no Can I lipsync with the appropriate head movements to every single note?: yes

LET’S ADMIT WE ALWAYS COME BACK TO HER ICONIC RIFF AT 2:22 BUT BEFORE YOU GO THERE, LISTEN TO THE PRETTY WHOLE THING

The way she sings at 2:26, can she do that more often please it's soooooooooo pleasant.

2:21 are you kidding me?!! you cannot teach that! goodness gracious

10 years later and 2:24 - 2:26 is just as 😍 as it was on day 1.

2:26 is what us producers call side chaining. Sounds beautiful when someone does it organically.

I love Tori Kelly. I honestly do. But i had to stop listening after 2:26. That was just way too much for me. I almost died. My ears almost took me to heaven for a second. I'll just never be able to finish this video. She's just too amazing

so.. nobody's gonna talk about the beginning where she bites her lip (or something idk) and says "hi." and hit is with that really cute smile? 2:22 has me CRAZY tho.

Her: repeat after me Me: *ok for first few seconds* Her: 2:24 Me: ok nvm

Did you know her riff from 2:22 - 2:30 has over 40 notes in it. She is crazy talented, I love her so much.🥰

moment of silence for that KILLER RUN at 2:24!!!!!

0:00 - 0:02 I'm pregnant

Can we talk about her musicianship tho? This whole song is STACKED with riffs & runs and the last third of this song is literally just riffing but none of it sounds overdone, out of place, over sung, unnatural or forced. Btw she was only 19 when she did this

how can she sing so perfectly while playing that guitar?! OMG what an angel!

2:26 this part after the riff is insane it actually sounds edited in the studio, it's that good omg

do y'all know the little flutter she did after the riff is humanly impossible after three years, I just wanna say I know I may have exaggerated saying "humanly impossible" but, it isn't worth fighting over in the comments :) I just took the words from a famous vocal coach, put it here, not expecting my comment to get this known :) please, don't take me too seriously.

Without any fancy editing or expensive microphone she can definitely draw people like a black hole. Such a perfection. Amazing

THE SOUND IS BACK, YEEEEESSSSS

So happy they unmuted this, it shouldn't have been muted in the first place. Tori doesn't deserve to be muted, everyone should be able to hear her beautiful voice ❤😇

Been here for the past 10 years 🙌🏼

I remember being obsessed with these videos back in the day had to come back in 2022 to indulge once again. ❤️‍🔥

*Who else kept replaying **2:24** and **2:30** over and over?*

How can an acoustic cover be copyright? What the fuck.

Anyone here in 2020?? No just me?

2020 and still the best run EVER

I'm here 7 years later and that riff still snatches my weave every time. You can tell in her face that she knew she nailed it too.

tori: 0:00 *"hi."* me: *is dead*

everyone is talking about the run at 2:24 (for obvious reasons) but can we talk about the run at 2:30 cause that's the prettiest prettiest sound to enter my ears ever

who else keeps coming back to this masterpiece!? 😩

*looks at camera* Hi Me: WOAH

so pissed that this isnt on spotify -.-

This was my first introduction to Tori Kelly and to this day it is one of my all time favorites. Still a HUGE Tori fan and love all her music!!! So incredibly talented and will always be a fan ❤✨

Came from that one guy singing to her her video on tik tok

Oh, look! It's a P.Y.T. singing "P.Y.T." Seriously, I can't be the first one to come up with this...?

YES ITS BACK

Good God Almighty, this girl's gift just snatches my wig EVERY time. Thank you for blessing us with it Tori. Chills...

She did soo good I wish Michael would’ve been alive still to see this he would have been so proud‼️💗

Literally pure perfection. Beautiful voice, beautiful in general, amazing personality. Kind, sweet, humble. I seriously don't see how anyone can dislike any of her videos.

The woman the myth the legend

It's 2023 and this cover is still one of the best I've ever heard 👏

This is my favorite one. In 1:52 she looks so glowy and absorbed by what she’s doing. You can tell she’s completely in it. Not yet big enough an Internet presence to bear a “social responsibility” yet mind-blowingly deft enough to make waves just by opening her mouth. She’s alive with the possibilities and going where the wind takes her. She genuinely loves what she’s doing right now and finds a deep calling towards it. She is precisely where she is meant to be and that’s the now.

Who’s here from the video « moments that had me shook »?

Damn. I still love watching this even on mute..

9 years later still iconic ♥ and i still love u just as much 9 years later .

the audio was already etched into my brain so i imagined all of it watching this. it was trippy AF

didn't think someone else simply singing a song would be considered copyright.. wtf

Still the best cover song 7 years later.

2019 anyone? *she’s the best i’ve heard, multi talented girl.*

Wtf, at 2:24, 9 notes in 1 sec? And with staccato?

Lmao that "hi" in the beginning was so innocent sjxbdjsmzj she's so adorable

This still slaps in 2022. Get it Tori

The golden era of RU-vid right here

Replay My ears are blessed 😭✨ 2:24 2:24 2:24 2:24 2:24 2:24 2:24 U won’t regret ❤️ Her RIFF

one of my favorite covers E V E R. if not the most favorite. Tori sang it so beautifully and perfectly, she is impeccable. My fave. And she's also singing my fave Michael Jackson's beautiful song.

8 years later, and I’m still floored by that run....

Like yea her riff was good but why aren’t we talking about the acoustic vocal swell effect she does right after ?!? Way more impressive in my opinion. Tho that riff was gold but I mean musically for me that swell was so much more interesting. Anyways

she did THAT

UN FUCKING REAL RIFFS. Love you so much.

She is the definition of talent

It’s almost 2020 and she still killed this

2:23 omgsh "heart eyes" that touched my soul

seriously - this was muted???? - its a COVER!!! (good luck with muting every cover on here, youtube)

She’s such a good singer though!! Did you hear 2:24 - 2:30 best thing I’ve heard in my life, so smooth and so nice. It sound like she’s on repeat and it’s so cool cause it’s such a smooth sound. Like some singers it would be hard for them to do that and here tori is killing it!

The calmness at the end is everything

2:24 I JUST EXPLODED

Of all of the covers on RU-vid, RU-vid chose one of TORI KELLY'S best to mute.This is some bullshit.

It is a crime this isn’t on spotify

As a mj fan, i literally have never EVER heard such a angelic voice 2:21-2:26. Beautiful.

you know you did a great cover when youtube muted it

This video still snatches my edges

Heading into 2020 & this is still the best run of the decade. What a talent! 😭

Listening to this in 2019 because HER TALENT OH MY LORD

C'mon!!! How is no one impressed with the way she's playing that guitar though??? I mean her break down at 1:51 to 2:10 is impressive alone!

almost four years later and this cover still slays 👸🏼

2020 anyone? 👀

Her cover is amazing and after all these years that riff still gives me chills!

Even tho i can't hear shit, imma like it and watch it anyways cause she's EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S BACK AND IM SUDDENLY ALIVEEE

Love how she made it totally her own!! And kept everything going simultaneously w lots going on, guitar, rhythm & vocals of course. Fantastic control, fun riffs, superb delicate ending !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That tongue and lip thing at the beginning though. Been in love with her ever since.

Umm why is this copyrighted?.. Come on RU-vid! This is my jam..

RU-vid!! CAN YOU NOT!! JUST CAN YOU NOT!!! WHAT IS THIS?!?!?! I SUDDENLY FEEL LIKE TYPING IN ALL CAPS AND CRYING LIKE A BABY!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ONE OF THE MOST INSANELY CONTROLLED VOICES UP HERE!!

Now that’s a real talent right there.

Can we just talk about the way she said "Hi" 😍 I've always loved her since her bar gigs.

Seamless. Your voice is like water. Best flow i have ever heard. Hands down. And i love you for so much more than just your music. You're my favorite person that i dont know personally. Lol! Love, A fellow musician -Neo

She is the only singer I know that can sing the notes so precisely. FLAWLESS! I mean, TORI!

Allegedly still the only place on the internet to hear the full riff

Na na na nanananauuuuuu🔥🔥🔥🔥🌺

it's been 7 years and i'm still not getting over that riff

whoever gave her thumbs down... jealous haters!

2:24 NOT ONLY WAS THAT RIFF FUCKING MIND. BLOWING. AND GAVE ME CHILLS...THE WAY HER HAND SLID UP THE FRET RIGHT ALONG WITH IT 😱😱😱😱😱

Oh my Gooooddd!!!" I looove this song sooo much. I'm sure Michael is proud of you there in Heaven.

This is by far my fav cover!!! I was so done at 2:24 - 2:27 woahhh woahhh Tori have mercy I can only handle so much slaying
