Morissette is a master of dynamics. She knows exactly what her voice can and will do, and she keeps herself bathing in the sweet spot. Transitions are effortless and her tone is like a warm April shower. I am entranced by Morissette Amon.
Was funny in an interview where she was asked about her vocal range and she said she doesn't know it and they should better ask her fans about that because she just sings. Ah, here is it : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TEH5-ks3Rjw.html&t=1025
I love the look of confusion on your face, then the realization that she changed back to moon river and English. That mix is like a cold day and Morissette has come up and wrapped a soft warm blanket around you. Such a beautiful mix xx
#subscriptionsquad Hi Danielle! The second song "Usahay" (Sometimes) is actually an old song way back in 60's. It was written by Greg Labja who fell inlove with a young lady named Noemi. She is now 79 yrs old. At that time, her suitors and admirers was so many, among them captains and crew members of the boats that docked. But it was the musician Greg who won her heart. She says Greg composed “Usahay” (Sometimes) because “yung nakita nya na ako” (when he first saw me), she paused and coyly giggled like a high school junior, “hindi na nya ako makalimutan” (he couldn’t forget me). ❤❤❤ And this song was later on sang by Pilita Corales, a living legend singer in the Philippines who has a very iconic style in singing 🎙️
"Usahay", a local love song in Cebuano, a dialect of the province of Cebu, Philippines. It means "sometimes" in English. Btw, Morissette is originally from Cebu.
Cebuano its not a dialect. Its a language not a dialect, please learn the difference between a language and dialect. If you say Cebuano is a dialect its like saying Tagalog is a dialect or Mandarin is a dialect or Japanese is a dialect.
@@joshi6898 Really, there's no exact difference between languages and dialects. In some writing, you might see that people say dialects are just spoken, whereas languages include both written and spoken aspects, but for linguists, they're pretty much the same. Languages are just self-important dialects. So, what's the difference between these two? Generally, a language is written as well as spoken, while a dialect is just spoken until it is promoted to the elite status usually for political purposes
.......Music is the language of the heart, the only language that enters the soul.......Usahay means Sometimes is an old Bisaya love song and she is from Cebu, Philippines. Mabuhay Morissette. Great reaction!
The backup voices was actually made up of 6 parts. 2 from Mori 2 from Dave and 2 from Adonis to make that effect and it was amazing! The backups brought a modern twist to this classic song.
Mori brought me back in time in this song. No other artists can do what she does. She is so hypnotizing. I just love her so much. And I love you too Danielle for showcasing her on your channel. My Monday is not complete without #morimonday #subscriptionsquad
Hi there I have been watching your comments on Morissette, yes you are right she is one of the best DIVAS in our country (Philippines)...no I think top best of the best,.... anyway I dont need to explain anymore how incredible and amazing Morissette is. I have been watching the other vocal coaches reactions on Morissette but I like the way you explain your reactions much better, Its very detailed and your facial expression changes, your eyes shines every time you pause the video and I can feel that you are a good person, you have such a beautiful smile.....anyway, I would like to hear you sing a short chorus of you favorite song, you probably have a beautiful voice...Danielle Good luck on you RU-vid channel, I will be following you and thank you for appreciating Filipino artist, Take care....
👏💐👏 My father-in-law used to sing Usahay whenever we had family gatherings. I'm pretty sure he'd approved of Morissette's version had he is still been around. Thank you for the reaction. 👍🙏👍
FYI, since no one else has commented on the first song -- this is what they call a "standard" in jazz, covered by essentially everyone. Composed by Henry Mancini with lyrics by Johnny Mercer (the legendary songwriting duo), originally performed by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 movie _Breakfast at Tiffany's_, Academy Award for Best Original Song, 1962 Grammy for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It became the theme song for crooner Andy Williams, who first recorded it in 1962 and sang the opening of it on every episode of his TV variety show.
Miguel is the one playing the SAX. Dave Lamar is the one singing in the background / Mori's boyfriend. Adonis Tabanda is the one playing the double bass / musical director who arranged this song.
I am not familiar with any visayan, but the lyrics and the melody of USAHAY is so so beautiful.. Buong buhay q, si morissette lang ang nakakapag mugto ng mga mata q at c james ingram... Thrice na wd morissette.. She has a very unique way of melting my heart.. Godbless u ms. Amon and ur family..
So eargasm!!..w/ a touch and style of the legend Karen C...Wow!...very beuatiful!...what a nostalgic fragile voice of the Asia's PHOENIX!!...her voice is flexible and versatile!...what else that Morissette can't do or sing diff jenre!!..a real vocal athlete....thankz.. for the reaction... :0)
#MoriMonday I love how Mori modernised a Classic English and Visayan song. Her Musical Director Adonis Tabanda(double bass) said he incoporated Mori's and Dave's(BGV and her BF) input in the arrangement.
The backup singer is her boyfriend Dave Lamar...and the musical Director is Adonis Tabanda and the guy who played the saxophone is Miguel Jimenez, the shoot is located in San Pablo, Laguna.
That song "Usahay" It's an old song Visaya language,I heard that song when I was 13 yr old.but now I am 43yr old.and I am so happy I heard that version from Morissette so amazing voice I love it.
Btw moon river is my all time favourite standard song, i used to sing it wd my late youngest brother bobot barroga who was the first bass player of Side A band.. Arnel pineda is a close friend of bobot and my sister ana marie b4.. Back to ms. Amon,, jngatan mu sana ang boses mu.. Amazing artist.. Morissete..
Thank you for this coach Danielle😍. I really love MORISSETTE AMON. and I love your reaction to her. As always.😊 I really appreciate it.😍 we LOVE you coach and I love you.😊😁..... #MORImonday
Hi coach, just a "fun fact" I am fluent with the national language of the Philippines "Filipino" but I do not understand a word she sang in her native " Visayan" dialect/language ( as stated by another commenter, they now consider visaya one of the Philippines' multiple languages now rather than call it a dialect), it is funny how I relied on the English captions like you lol
Usahay is a Visayan word for "Sometimes." Visayan is one of the many local languages in the Philippines. Born and raised in Cebu City, Philippines, it is actually Morissette's true native dialect (not Tagalog/Filipino). So proud of her singing this timeless, classic, Visayan song. English translation: "Usahay nagadamgo ako nga ikaw og ako nagkahigugmaay." (Sometimes I dream that you & I fell in love (again).) "Nganong damguhon ko ikaw? Damguhon sa kanunay sa akong kamingaw." (Why do I keep dreaming about you? Dreaming of you in my loneliness.) "Usahay magamahay ako nganong nabuhi pa ning kalibutan." (Sometimes I regret living in this world (now that I no longer have you).) "Nganong gi-ti-aw-ti-awan ang gugma ko kanimo, kanimo day?" (Why did you have to play with my feelings for you?)
I know I've said it before and I will say it again..... I love your reactions and your unique personality and wonderful perspective on the artists that you react to. This mash up seriously made me cry and smile at the same time out of nowhere!!! Damn you Mori!!! You know how to pull at our heart strings 😘
Thank you for another great reaction. It really warms my heart to hear you say awesome reviews of her abilities. The 2nd song USAHAY (oh-sah-hi)/Sometimes in English, is a traditional Visayan Song (The Philippines has 3 regions: Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao). She came from the Visayas region, as I. The language is called Bisaya. The person on the Big Bass is Sir Adonis Tabanda, her musical director on several major productions in the country, and he is still collaborating with Mori during the lockdown. More power to you, Danielle. Looking forward to more Mori reviews.
It's "U-sa-hay" to pronounce. It's one of our very old love/lullaby songs here in the Philippines. It was written in Bisaya language, one of our provinces' dialect. Not the main one which is Tagalog. It was my Grandparents' theme song. ❤💕👵👴
You're one of the few reactors who know how to turn on the subtitles when they're listening to a language that's foreign to them. Some reactors just say "It's sound so good, I wish I could understand what she's saying". Good job!
Hi Danielle, I wrote this on Morisette's channel - "Much as your Filipino song "Akin ka na Lang" introduced our beautiful Tagalog language to the world, I am very thrilled and proud that you and your team decided to include the beautiful Visayan (a major Filipino dialect) song "Usahay" in your video. Congratulations and I wish you more success! - thank you for your brilliant reaction, as always! I also wish you more subscribers and success!
The back up vocals is Dave Lamar who is Morissette's boyfriend. And "Usahay" is their own local dialect. Philippines has more or less 170 local dialect. Like every region or districts speaks different languages. But the national language is TAGALOG.
The Philippines has two official languages Filipino and English. Filipino is the standardized variety of the Tagalog language, BUT it is also considered a polycentric/pluricentric language, because it also incorporates other existing Philippine languages like Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Ilocano, Waray, etc. Officially, the Commission on the Filipino Language defines the Filipino language as "the native dialect, spoken and written, in Metro Manila, the National Capital Region, and in OTHER urban centers (Iloilo, Cebu, Davao, etc) of the archipelago" in accordance to the mandate of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines. The University of the Philippines Filipino Dictionary is considered to be the equivalent of the Oxford English Dictionary and in theory it contains all the words that are considered to be part of the Filipino language.
@@jamesandreiraguindin5801 ..,tagalog is the national language. The reason they called it filipino to make it sound political correct, in other words not to put DOWN the rest of languages and dialects.
@@mykchicano ..,fyi, under the Umbrella of the Bisaya language are, karay-a, hiligaynon, aklanon, sugbo-anon, bol-anon, butuanon, surigao-non, coyonon. Now let me ask you about Waraynon/waray waray is it part or what?
It's a country song..it's another dialect a visaya the province of The Asia's PHOENIX!...she has a nostalgic voice!!..wow!.. great!!.. what else that Morissette can't do huh?!...haizts!....she's an omnipotent when it comes in singing!...very impressive!...thankz... ;0)
Please react to her "And I am telling you" cover (Cebu Finale). This video gives you the chill and sweet Mori. Whereas the other will give you fierce and slayer Mori. 👍 Thanks again for reaction!
Love the merch especially the crewneck. Mori turned Audrey. This is as close as Morissette to jazz loved it. Another great review Danielle. Keep up the good work 👍🎶😍💛
I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!! I have seen Morissette with that same hair style! 😊💖😍 you're so beautiful! Thank you so much for supporting Morissette!!! ✨✨ FYI, Usahay is a classic Visayan (one of Filipino dialects) song, from Morissette's mother tongue. Btw, the one singer with her is her boyfriend, Dave Llamar! 😊 #SubscriptionSquad
I love your reaction so much! It's just that your reaction is so genuine and honest. Such a vibe as well that you are giving positive smiley atmosphere in your channel.
Another great video reaction, ❤️ it!👍 On a side note, When you can whistle note the word JESUS you are an angel sent from the heavens, Mori is out of this world 🌎 I have a suggestion, she should invite all her RU-vid voice coaches reviewers, fans, and have a great party concert.🙏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Philippines have approximatley 187 dialects including 8 major dialects, Cebuano is one among those major.. and Tagalog is our National Language.. The Philippine archipelago is divided into three Island groups: Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. Cebu is the capital city in Visayas; Cebuano or Visayan people speaks Bisaya where Morisette used to lived. maybe the reason it was attached in her song coz she is so proud to be one and reminded everyone that MUSIC has No Bounderies and everyone can understand or relate by feelings and emotions expresses in a song as she used to stand that Music is a Universal Language like what she was always did in her previous covers.. where she sang Korean, English, Tagalog and now Visayan mix with other foreign language.
Hey Danielle! I subscribed because you are so beautiful inside and out, not only that but because you love Morissette! There’s a lot of reactors who left Mori after they got what they want and I am sure you will not leave her ! I am soo waiting for your reactions and by the way your speaking and singing voice is also beautiful!
"USAHAY" is a visayan words, and that's old song when i was young, that's my favorite song "USAHAY" 🎶🎵💖💖💖🎵🎶 Elishia thank you for loving MORISSETTE song's, and I love your channel that's why I always watching your videos. . . and hope more videos. . . Good luck and GOD bless you always 🙏❤️🙏💙🙏❤️🙏
USAHAY or Sometimes in English or Minsan in Tagalog. Philippines do have 187 dialect or language. I do appreciate you reacting to one the best singer in the PH, and I learn a lot from you what are the do's and don't when singing... Love u so so much!!!!
Hi Danielle 💕💕💕 your reaction to this beautiful mashup, 2 beautiful songs seemlessly mixed. Watched the release and it sent a chill down my spine. #morimonday. Keep up the fantastic reactions. Think it's time to react to Mori and 3rd avenue cover of Rise up, a capella version xxx
Thanks for the wonderful reaction!👍 Just would like to emphasize that the visayan song in particular is a cebuano version coz visaya have so many languages there is ilonggo waray boholanon ect!
She is Smart to mix two song in the same melody and same emotion..still she did her best to connect to the viewers..I really love her😍#SUBSCRIPTIONsquad
Usahay is a visayan classic song which used to be her mother tongue. The Most spoken dialect in the philippines aside from tagalog ♥️ the guy singing with him is his boyfriend dave lamar. The one on sax is sir miguel jimenez and in double bass is Sir adonis tabanda ❤️
Once again.... Another great reaction Ms. D 👏😊❤️💕👍 #MoriMonday If you are wondering.... Here's the back story behind the visayan Folk song USAHAY... It is a song for two lovers who didn't end up their love story happily because one of them cheated, also, we can simply say that it is a song of a person who regrets her/his decision of loving a person who is not loyal to their partner in terms of relationship. SAD SONG BUT TRULY POWERFUL in meaning.
Hi! Loved your reaction and input. I want to mention that the gentleman that does the arrangements is Morissette's musical director, Adonis Tabanda. He was the one playing the bass in this video and backup vocals. Super talented musician and I'm glad Morissette recognized this because together they made incredible music even more incredible. That a cappella part is 2x Morissette Amon, 2x Dave Lamar, 2x Adonis Tabanda even though it shows only Mori and Dave. Migual Jimenez was on the saxophone. The idea to add both songs was Morissette's idea since both are 3/4 signature waltz style .
These 2 songs were perfect to mashup. I felt like I should be on a gondola drinking wine and relaxing. I just love her voice and I agree with you Danielle about her falsetto head voice. I love her belts but there is something so special that her falsetto and head voice brings. It’s so calming and transports me to another place. Loved your reaction as always. Thank you for great reaction!❤️❤️❤️❤️
The second song she sang is Usahay. It's her native dialect even I can't understand because here in our country, there are 170+ dialects used in every provinces. Their performance of "Pero Atik Ra" with KZ Tandingan is a good Visayan song too.
I was here when you premiered and am here again watching your reaction... Again hahaha Miguel is the one on sax. Dave is the other one singing.Adonis arranged the mash up and the one on strings
First off: Thanks for the reaction, Coach. I really love your enthusiasm and appreciation for Mori. That warms my heart a lot. And I learn a lot for you. Second: I love your sweater/sweatshirt, lol. I wanna buy it, but I still have to save up money for it especially for the shipping. Hehehe.... #SubscribtionSquad
