Vocal Coach Reacts to What Else Can I Do (From "Encanto") 

Full Encanto movie playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLAbUq4-ByhQ47aLyZVe3MO4pfHeBRQQfh

i really like how in we don’t talk about bruno, isa sang more like a princess but in this song she really lets loose and we can see her full vocal capabilities.

I love how Isabela is the "perfect princess type" but not the main character.

My theory is that Pepa is redirecting her grief for losing a brother into anger because its easier for her to handle, and she doesn't want anyone to talk about him because it will trigger her weather. Her whole life is revolving around managing her emotions and not letting them go out over the people around her, so the least her family can do is to help her contain those triggers.

"I'm so sick of pretty, I want something true, don't you?" Now has a deeper meaning than before because her voice changes from the traditional "pretty in pink" princess voice to her true voice. Remarkable.

I literally can’t get tired of this song. Especially the last chorus gives me goosebumps every single time.

"Why does he look like me?" got me laughing so hard. 😂😂 love your reaction videos always. 😊❤️

Fun Fact: this is inspired by Shakira's 90's pop/rock music

Honestly loved how you pointed out Isabela's change in her way of singing, I don't think people talk about that vocal change enough!

It's funny you mentioned Idina Menzel. Did you catch all the Frozen references in this song? When Isa and Mirabel are on the palm tree and Isa's singing "ohhh", it's reminiscent of when Elsa and Anna are in the ice castle and Anna's telling her about the eternal winter and Elsa is singing "ohhh". Lin-Manuel really is a genius.

Since you missed it in your reaction, if you listen at 6:49 Mirabel is singing to the tune of Isabela's part in "we don't talk about bruno" it's pretty neat

when abuela starts scolding mirabel, it just hits home and I always kinda start tearing up. It's really rough to sit through that part without feeling hurt.

I'm not sure if anyone pointed this out yet but mirabels bit where she's talking about how perfect isabellas life is, she's singing the same way that isabella does in her verse in we don't talk about Bruno.

If I remember correctly 'Part of Your World', the english singer wanted to belt like you suggest, but they made her hold it back, just like the sea was holding Ariel back. Hence why that song is so powerful, because of the LONGING in her voice

Isabela was originally going to embrace a rock/goth type persona and while I LOVE this song, after learning that, I can’t help but wish to see moody gothic Isabela

“hurricane of jacarandas” plays over and over in my head 😂

I love how she came off all princess in the movie bit at the end she finally came out all pop and Latin rock, which really shows how alot of female singers have to put on this facade and make "Selling music" instead of selling more by being their real selves

9:15 the way he hit the note just casually, amazing

I genuinely don’t think you’re going to be ready for Dos Oruguitas… 🥺❤️

I like Tristan’s thumbnails bc he always looks like he just reached the top of a rollercoaster and is anticipating the fall

4:05 LITTERALLY THE BEST MOMENT OMG!!!!!! I WAS LAUGHING SO HARDDD CHEERS TO THE EDITOR!!! BESTIE YOU NEVER FAIL TO MAKE ME LAUGH SO HARD 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tristan saved his most savage Encanto comment for himself "Why does he [Bruno] look like me?" While I may prefer the Brendon Urie version of Tristan, I wouldn't go as far as to say that homeboy looks like Bruno now. Pleasantly surprised that Tristan didn't co-sign Abuela's tirade.

When you used as an example the Little Mermaid I was so confused, cause I remembered her voice being actually powerful and belty; then I realised I never actually listened to the English version and that I was rather thinking about the Italian one, where the singing style is pretty different

"Making waves (Making waves) Changing minds (You've changed mine)" I love that lyrics so much

Lin Manuel wrote all of the songs, including the two entirely in Spanish. You heard one playing at the party in Antonio's room after he got his gift. 😊

I secretly hoped you'd watch we don't talk about bruno again hahaha Nevertheless i'm excited for your reaction cause I absolutely love what else can I do!!

I was literally thinking she really did sound like Elsa on that last note! and then you mentioned it was a straight up Idina Menzel belt haha

“I owe this all to you” gives me chills every time

ThIs is probably the most underrated song of the entire movie but honestly all of them are certified bops

Lin wrote the entire soundtrack. So this was written by him

I really love the style "Dos Oruguitas" which is close to the end of the movie. But it never fails to shed a tear or two and have a lump in my throat. Its just a beautiful song❤❤❤😭

This song is so underrated but like it's become my favourite now

this is prob one of my favorite songs out the whole movie. it never fails to give me chills.

Love your honest opinions an appreciation of Disney songs but also songs in general and the singers. You also give such nice approvals and make all in all amazing content. Love u☀️❣️

The soundtrack to this movie is just SO BEYOND GOOD😍

Love Tristan singing more, haven't heard a lot of him singing lately

I have to say, adding bits of the movie reactions before the songs is really really smart and I approve of that

The whole sound track is so good

This song is stuck in my head till now 😭😭😭

yees lin did write it. I read somewhere that for this one he was inspired by the 90s spanish rock movement to incorporate these columbian rythms. The writing is spectacular... pressure surface, this one... such a great development throughout the movie.

She gives me major Elsa vibes idk why I think it’s because Elsa has ice powers and stuff and she has flower and plant powers and their both trying to find there place and identity and their voices are somewhat similar also they both have older sister bossy perfect sassy vibes lol

Literalky burst into laughter at 9:14 at how accurate he is and how quickly it cuts to the movie from him

Your hair is giving me life my dude. I’m having trouble with my curls today so I’m just living vicariously through you 😩

6:49 Mirabel singing along the “We don’t talk about Bruno” tune was genius! I love how Isabella’s “princessy” voice changed to a more fuller “pop-ier” sound when she found her real self! It shows she also found her voice or at least uses her real voice

"why does he look like me?" omg he does T_T

This is like, my favorite song from the movie. Personally, I think it’s VERY underrated

Can't wait for the reaction to "Dos oruguitas", I'm Mexican and I listen to it in Spanish and I loved it, I know that Sebastián Yatra also sings the english version ❣.

I love seeing that you’re genuinely enjoying the movie. Like… it’s a funny and good movie along with amazing songs.

I love how you pointed out that even Isabela has changed even in her way of singing. I really didn't notice that before. Damn they really thought of everything in this movie.

the "aVOcAdO?" gets me everytime 🤣🤣

I want to raise a point of disagreement; I know that the STEREOTYPE of Disney Princesses is having only a light and airy sound, but a lot of the princesses legitimately have powerful belts. Even the example you give, Ariel, gets more belty on the reprise of that song-- where she's finding confidence in her newfound resolution. You brought up Idina Menzel, who (as we all know) plays Elsa (though that's a Disney QUEEN), but even Anna (with a more traditional Disney Princess sound) can dig deep and belt it out. Lea Salonga (who sings both for Jasmine and Mulan) is a goddess and can absolutely powerhouse her way through her vocals, which she shows in both instances. Belle is given a more 'sweet' sound overall, does tend to keep things to a medium range, and Rapunzel is a lighter, sweeter sound as a whole (and probably the closest to the stereotype), but (while I've got Mixed Feelings on the movie) Pocahontas, played by Judy Kuhn, again has a VERY powerful voice during her numbers. And never mind Tiana, whose voice never fails to give me chills. In contrast, Isabela does stay within a certain range in this song, though you're right, she DOES improve the overall vocal power over the course of the song. That high note was actually VERY closed off, sounding more like a scooping "duoh" than "Doooh", BUT it was an excellent high note regardless! Isabela's growth as a character IS mirrored in this song, and we even hear hints of it in "We Don't Talk About Bruno", when she sings, "He told me that my *power* would grow", the word 'power' is given, well, power! A hint of what's to come! You still raise a lot of good points, but I just wanted to bring up that the legacy Disney singers are very often absolute powerhouses in their own rights, too. This movie does a lot more variety in vocal textures, though.

I love how Bruno has like different personalities. There is a book called Los hombres del hombre by Eduardo Barrios that is simply so fun to read! It reminded me of that!

I would love to see you reacting to Over the Moon on Netflix!!! Philippa Soo from Lin Manuel Miranda’s does the voice of one of the main characters and is AMAZING in it. So is the main character’s voice! I think you’d be blown away if you haven’t seen it yet

I haven't even seen this movie yet and I'm still watching this like I know what's going on

Ahh his smiles and reactions make me smile and feel so excited for him to keep watching lol

I was watching your Encanto's song reactions yesterday. I was searching for Encanto scene and I can't believe I came across your video so soon.

"a hurricane of jacarandas" has been on repeat in my mind for weeks 😬

another fun thing is mirabel singing the same melody and quality as we first hear isabela sing. the "you just seem like your life..." is the same melody as "he told me that the life of my dreams..."! they're showing us in that clip how much isa has grown from that moment in this song!

You should definitely listen to the Spanish version of We Don't Talk About Bruno. It's really good, and in my opinion, it's better than the English version.

Lin Manuel Miranda is just amazing, the way he wrote all of these songs is incredible, he's the greatest

I really love your commentary on her singing !!! I feel like people wanted 'perfect' vocals out of the Madrigals but they're all just so fundamentally musical and human sounding to me the songs carry so much power and it sells it's just from a family trying to reconnect

This song is my favorite song right behind “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” 😍 It gives me major 90s Colombian rock vibes

I love this song sm 💕 it grows with Isabela and Mirabel like plants grow, get it? :D I'll see myself out Great video btw, I really love your input in every song 🎵

The "why does he look like me" keeps getting me to laugh even if I watched it already 😂😂😂😂

The harmonies are wonderful in Isabella's song.

The movie and song is so pretty! 💖🌸

I really love your curls !! Like seriously you look really cool!! And this song is amazing by the way. Isabellas room has so much beauty in it!!

This is so fun to watch the videos on the full movie playlist, idk why it just makes me so happy, just reacting to you listening to the songs and the movie at the same time, it’s like re-watching the movie but more fun 😂

this and ‘waiting on a miracle’ are my absolute favs

Diane Guerrero is so good😭 she’s really good at changing her voice, for example, in Doom Patrol she plays multiple characters and all of them are very different

You truly have the best, infectious smile and energy! 🥰❤️

I just love watching your reactions to the movie and the music! Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰❤️🥰

this is my favorite song from the movie, i'm so happy you reacted to it 😩❤

Tristan actually hit that note tho 🔥

Can't wait for the next song reaction. It's easily THE most emotional song in the film

loving this series!!!

I already know all the lyrics from every song from encanto and got addicted by it

I love all your reactions! This movie is sooo good!

I SING THIS 24/7 I CAN'T GET IT OUT MY HEAD love your reactions

I've loved dissecting everything about the movie, from how the characters portray themselves, their actions, what they say, their aesthetic, ect. But I haven't noticed how the characters are so dynamic even in their songs with their voices. Thanks for pointing this out Tristan!

I was totally waiting for this song! It’s a fave!

One thing I love that most don't notice is when Mirabel is singing "Bring it in, bring it in" she's dancing a bit as she sings that. I guess Mirabel is the dancer of the family? They all dance yeah but she seems to do it most

I am loving these reactions!

I think this is probably my favorite song. Because of the voice acting and how Mirabel responded to her sister

Great timing, I was just watching the rest of the playlist😂

One of my fav songs from the movie

This song is literally one my favorite song from Encanto, I really love it💕

Love this movie so much, I've watched it so many times & probably all of EncantoTok lol So glad you decided to react to all of it
