@@nyachance She also said "And I glow cuz I know what my worth is", and at this point in the movie her door is losing its glow and blinking dramatically, which means she doesn't actually recognize her value :D
I felt like it was interesting that she tends to use her upper range, or more feminine singing voice, when she’s saying something vulnerable in the song. So even though she’s switching from the “character” voice, it’s still telling you something about the character. It’s her softer side coming out.
Exactly! When she reveals her vulnerable side and sings more feminine she truly embodies Luisa’s dream of joy and softness to one day not have to be so strong all the time and just BE. So well done
not to mention when she sings about her desires for joy and relaxation, the background is all pink fluffy clouds and the donkeys have glittery unicorn costumes. what she truly wants is to be feminine and traditionally girly. its a great subversion. and why i get so annoyed at the twitter mob that demands her to be a trans icon just cause shes muscular. shes one of the girliest, most feminine madrigals. demanding her to be a trans man is just playing into sterotypes of her appearance.
It could also be part of her character putting on this "strong, invulnerable" facade. She (the character) could be intentionally using a lower voice to seem stronger while the higher voice is what she considers her true voice.
I love how Louisa spends the entire song protecting her sister. Also that the moment Mirabel started to look genuinely worried for Louisa, she changed her tone, started dancing and seemed to be trying to reassure Mirabel that she could handle it.
FUCKING FINALLY!!! Every vocal coach I’ve seen talk about this song NEVER dive into the technicality of her tone! I just wanted ONE person to analyze it in a way that goes beyond, “this sounds cool, she sounds tough”. Thank you for being the one to do that while providing fantastic facial expressions.
Have you happened upon the video "how surface pressure works"? It's really cool, as they get in to the techniques Lin Manuel Miranda uses to make the song go to a completely different level. It's pretty cool to see that kind of analysis, of stressed syllables and such. It's way over my head, but needless to say, if somebody can make a rap musical about Alexander Hamilton, we shouldn't be surprised they can build a catchy pop song.
The room is the nursery that the children stay in until they get their powers (which comes with a room),so Mirabel never got her own room, which is also why Casita can still interact with her in her bedroom.
Actually, one of the creators said that the only reason Casita has no control in Bruno's room is because he technically wasn't a part of the family anymore, so his room was disconnected :P Casita can still interact in others' bedrooms.
I love that her voice is big, full and strong when she’s talking about her strength. Then it is more fragile when she talks about her weakness and fear.
I actually like this song more than 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' just because of the message. The Bruno song is really amazing in how it was made, but the lyrics of this song and the look on Luisa's face gives me chills and almost makes me cry every single time
@@Vickpiure Being the middle child of 3, my brain just automatically replaces sister with anything that feels the mood at the time. Even being the middle child, I was the only girl and my older brother was actually really sensitive, and I felt the need to protect him (especially because he dated girls in my grade in school (we are 2 years apart) and they were girls I knew) and my little brother is 5 years younger and I have always felt protective of him. And just aside from that, even just the pressure of life (especially after becoming a mom) makes this song just extremely relatable ❤
@@Vickpiure I tear up every single time I see her face during the part right before she say 'give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt.....' the look of defeat on her face is exactly what I feel
love that at the start u were like "shes probably not gonna sing, she doesnt have the voice for it", and then a bit over halfway through u exclaimed "OHHH she's a FANTASTIC vocalist"
I think he was referring to the voice being used for the character rather than the VA themself due to how difficult it would be to pull off properly. She manages to nail it though, and that's why this is my favorite song from the movie.
I think it has to do with the fact that she's literally breaking and becoming weak for all the weight the family and expectations are putting on her. So she's trying to be strong (the deep voice) and when she talks about it being too much and she's breaking (the lighter voice comes in plays). Vocally and metaphorically is very well displayed. It gives me shivers!
Exactly the singer did an amazing job. I was literally Mirabella in the movie . I love the singer 's amazing voice. She can rap . We need more deep and harmonius voices
I legit listen to this song at least once a day! This is a masterpiece of a song, the best one besides “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” in my opinion. Disney did a phenomenal job with Encanto.
the lyrics of this song have got to be my fav part, "give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure would've pulled you under" and "give it to your sister it doesn't hurt and see if she can handle every family burden, watch as she fumbles and bends but never breaks" those 2 lines just break me
I literally teared up. It hit so hard. I would love to know who Lin Manuel Miranda had in mind when he wrote this or if he is an older sibling himself.
@@nerdgurl402 if i remember correctly, he has an older sister and he wrote this as a sort of apology to her. he said something about recognising all the hardships she went through now that he’s an adult and that he’s guilty he didn’t have those experiences simply because he was the little brother.
Personally i think the way she goes lighter and softer on the "drip drip drip" parts shows vulnerability, she's scared and she sounds smaller and younger as she admits that the pressure is eating away at her. In fact the emotion all the way through is stunning. She gets deep when she's focusing on what she needs to do, like vocally gritting her teeth in preparation and you can actually hear her relax when she wonders what relaxing would be like.
Legit just was looking for this reaction and boom there it is, this song exceeded my expectations. The 'drip drip drip' sounds so pop like and I love the modern style disney chose for this movie.
Not only is this song a stylistic masterpiece that tickles my every onomatopoeia need, it does a phenomenal job at representing all the older sisters of latina households. I can't help but cry each time I hear it... "give it your sister your sister's stronger... see if she can handle every family burden." Like damn, Disney didn't have to come for our deep rooted trauma like that lol.
She doesn’t have a super cool big room because she didn’t get her door. She had to stay in the nursery because her Magic didn’t awaken and give her her own room.
She also didn't get her own door because her gift was to come later snd through that, she didn't get her own room or door because she got the house, so to speak. Hence why the doorknob they gave her at the end had the M on it made specifically for her. She will take Abuela's place as the next matriarch. The house was closes to her as it was to abuela. Her not getting a door is whag allowed everything to play out exactly as it needed to inorder to wake everyone up and get Abuela to see the truth. In the end, Maribel's "magic door" was the front door to the entire Casita, shared with the picture of the entire family showing they were a strong unit now.
I am a metalhead through and through. I have never really cared for many disney songs before, but when i took my kids to see this movie, and this song came on, I was like...whoawtf this is AMAZING
YES SOMEONE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE JAZZ COVER I've seen like no one talking about that video and it blows my mind because she sounds absolutely fantastic and everyone loves Luisa and Surface Pressure
We Don't Talk About Bruno is obviously the big fan favorite and it's a great song, but Surface Pressure definitely takes the spot for my personal favorite song in this movie.
It feels realistic that Louisa can sing like that, and that's really impressive. To go out of a character's vocal range but still sound like it's them singing.
love how much this song allows her vocal range to build and expand. I thought I wasn't gonna be too crazy about this song when it started with the rapping and less variation, but I think the build up to the more powerful belts and strong vocals played into the style really well. also provided a great parallel to the building pressure she's discussing and really showed off her character. it's my favorite song from the movie
I don't care what anyone says about the other songs, they are great , but this one made me FEEL things. It then wraps up all the feelings you have with an absolute bop to jam with. I love this song.
I love Surface Pressure so much. As the oldest of 7 siblings I relate so much to what Luisa is singing about. Feeling like you have to be strong for others 😫
@@francisbiso7303 I know that but I relate to how she felt even though she's not the oldest. She felt like she has to be strong for her family. There's a line in the song " Give it to your sister your sister older give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder" and I just really felt that.
I find it ironic how in the songs where the sisters express how they feel, they hit unexpected notes, like Luisa starts hitting higher notes, Isabella gets less airy and goes a little deeper at times, and Mirabel shows off her expansive range
Absolutely the BEST SONG in "Encanto." I know everyone is losing their mind over "We Don't Talk About Bruno" (which is a spectacular, more traditionally staged broadway showtune) but for my money this is the superior track. Just spectacular!!
I think there's something about how much the singer changes up the vocals in this particular song's message. It's about the pressure if you can't always be one thing and we're multi-faceted humans who all deal with vulnerable emotions, even the most strong, resilient people.
So her song switches from the deep almost gutteral voice to the lighter “twangier”😂 version has multiple purposes and is honestly so genius. It’s to represent the fight for Luisa between her facade of being strong and impenetrable to her reality of the fears of not being enough or somebody hurting her family due to her shortcomings. Then it goes on the the lightest part of the song being used to show her desires to be more carefree. I loved learning that it also had a utility purpose for switching her tones as well! Great video!
1:50 Her "room" is actually the nursery. When new family members are born, they live in the nursery until they're old enough to earn their miracle, at which point they get their own room. As I'm sure you know by now, Mirabel doesn't have her own miracle, therefore she didn't age out of the nursery and must live in there. That's why she knew where Antonio was because he was hiding in "their" room, the nursery.
“Why does she dance so well?” Because she’s fucking awesome, that’s why. I don’t believe they weren’t prepared with the merch. They pretty much made her a super hero and Isabella is a spoiled jerk for 95% of the movie.
May God bless you and your family and help you Give your life to Jesus Christ and repent. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray Amen.Jesus Christ loves you. Give your life to Jesus Christ and repent. He’s coming soon. Please pray and repent.
I really think her gift is to make the other family members realize they aren't JUST their gifts though. I do believe she will be the next matriarch like Abuela, but abuela expected perfection from their gifts, expecting them all to BE their gifts, and in mirabels case, she sees gifts as GIFTS, like extras and not just the person
Lowkey this song is better than we don't talk about Bruno - I'm sorry but the singer's talent PLUS the amazing lyrics, melody and MEANING - literally perfecto!
Why is no one talking about her voice at 7:30 ?! It’s my favorite part, it’s like a third voice ( between the singing and talking voice I feel) and I absolutely love how she sounds at that part. Is it growl? What is it that makes that part sound so amazing???
I love you calling out that she uses her voice in a way to make it sound almost like 2 different characters. She is portraying that in the song that she's strong but also she's almost crippled by this pressure. Very cool!
"Why does she dance so well" The obvious answer is because it's a musical, but Dance requires a lot of muscle strength to support the actions being... acted upon so it isn't far out that she has good muscle control It's how did she get that ~technique~ that should be questioned lol
I love the shift between the fabricated, performative "toughness" and her raw, climatic vulnerability. Building such a fantastic character using only one solo is absolutely not something I expected from Disney. They struck gold with Lin.
This is my favorite song of the movie, though “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” is amazing, the message of this one is so relatable on top of also being absolutely stunning and fun to listen to!
JAJAJAJA. I love your reaction to everything: dance moves, movie context, singing techniques, and so on. Los grititos de sorpresa que haces gave meeee life. 😂😂😂
I love how you were extremely critical and sceptical about this song and the character and her voice actress singing... and then you fell for it just like everyone else. Love this song!
As someone who is tone deaf, it's interesting to hear you describe things I can't hear. Your facial expressions when talking about it were very helpful.
"Why does she dance so well?" Ahm actually, she has a tiktok account. When she's so stressed with the pressure she let's her emotions out there hehe lol
I’m over here waiting for you to react more Encanto song’s. I’ve been watching you’re reactions back to back. This movie is honestly so so good! I’ll be here waiting (:
I really appreciate the fact her voice sounds like two different people but her character is literally 2 different people. 1 is who everyone expects her to be. The other is who she truly is and who she truly wants to be
So glad you liked this one, i knew you would freak when you heard her deep ass voice contrasted with her voice when she sings drip drip drip tip tip tip grip grip and even more so with the shake this crushing weight of expectations lyric. She's super talented.
