Vocal Coach Reacts to Yebba - My Mind 

Hey tara!! Thinking of checking out your video lessons :)))))) You should definitely take a look at "Evergreen" By yebba! I believe its about her late mom and its beautiful worth a listen :)

So...Tara vocal points were right...

Yeah Tara’s vocal points on some of these were a misunderstanding of what yebba was trying to do. For instance, when she said “that was a little rough“ on one of Abbey’s distortions. Some of those may have been Abbey losing control; but it sounds more like a conscious choice to me. The choice to make some notes more valuable than others, thereby consequently actually Detuning some of them and favor The guttural quality of the notes itself

The strain, breathlessness, and cracks reflect her experience of a fractured relationship. All of it makes sense! The broken phrasing deliberately depicts the broken heart she is singing about.

SOLDIER DRUM CHANNEL EXACTLY! Tara is missing the deliberate vocal qualities that create the vulnerability of the person, the up and down rifts.

@@jupitersmalls1507 And people enjoy a more vulnerable performance

Exactly and she didn’t get it

Straight Holy Spirit! She is gifted God and lived at Church!

@@shavonboudreaux5380 it isn’t the Holy Spirit, I’m sorry, it isn’t. She can sing, absolutely! But this isn’t the Holy Ghost, that’s actually blasphemous to even say that. This didn’t break chains, it adds them.

@@KyleHurd you are absolutely ridiculous to say someone’s art form is adding chains to people simply bc it is not pointing back to your idea of God and salvation. Nobody has to suppress their stories and heartbreak to make happy go lucky music. Music like hers saves people too, even if it is not gospel or happy 24/7 bc it gives raw emotion, it gives ppl something to identify with and feel not something fake happy bc you think not singing about trials will bring someone closer to salvation, hush.

she highlighted the best and the worst things. This is the best analysis I've seen of this video. And I'm the one who has watched over 40 reactions of this video and love Yebba and how she sings, her natural and raw performance, but that doesn't mean you can't analyze it from a technical pov. Maybe you are the one who were expecting another crying reaction, or an amazed "youtube vocal coach". Open your mind and you'll enjoy AND learn!

Kashe628 You got a like from her IM GLAD I CAN CONFIRM SHE SAW ALL THE COMMENTS ABOUT THIS LOL THANK YOU

Exactly or her clothes! I have watched several reaction videos and not one time did anyone comment on her appearance! Which doesn’t matter ! So I guess your clothes effect your voice huh 🤔 first time on your channel definitely will be my last

@@Bunnyhopper1970 lol she’s a vocal/performance coach it all matters to her.

@@RheaGo12 well her appearance has nothing to do with her voice

The point is to understand what she’s doing. Yebba is highly technical, she knows exactly what to do to get every specific sound in her performances. It’s how she can switch between the breathy, raspy tone and that full, resonant sound, and the high head voice. Obviously the emotion is more important with this song, but to say there is no point in finding out what’s happening, as if it’s all just subconcious is wrong

Thank you, I was upset by that comment, it had been made in another reaction video too. It is insulting, just because she is not skinny... silly, she's beautiful

This!

Er... I think she meant she sings the way most people would expect a black singer to sing...she meant absolutely no disrespect and it had nothing to do with her not being skinny. Soul singers are most frequently from the black (African descended) community because of the jazz/blues origins. Other reactions to her performances refer to this - it's not about her dress size.

Your totally right Emily, didn’t particularly like Taras criticism/ comments on this one at all. all the critiques are what made this performance so touching for so many

nah i don’t think she was talking about her body lmao, she was saying that she’s white but she has very african inspired style because she has a gospel background

@Alex haha! Who pulled your chain?!

@Alex you need to go watch Yebbas tiny desk performance or her new song Boomerang the live version. She has incredible control and technique and she effortlessly hits high notes, showing that she has the technique and decided with this performance telling the story was more important

You should watch Sam Johnson's reaction to it. He is also a voice coach but appreciated the emotion in it and loved it. Just search Sam Johnson and you will find him :)

I was literally going to say the same thing. Everything she "critiqued" is what I love about this. Like she totally missed that she was basically on the verge of tears at some parts

Absolutely!!!

Yeeeah! I think the same. Being to technical with the voice is not good with this one

every criticism? come on now obviously you don't want to dip your jaw and crush your larynx when singing low notes...is she supposed to throw out all logic and reason just because you like the way she's singing? no...

I totally agree

jay fine 100%!! This is 100% one of my favourite performances from anyone ever, it’s raw, and beautiful and soulful and humble and individual. I love it! And the comments about how she is dressed, in my opinion are irrelevant as this is a reaction on the vocals not the styling! I’m glad I’m not the only one with this sort of opinion!

@@victorialouise9632 you forgot when the coach said yebba doesnt sound like she looks and would be a great contestant for the voice.

To be fair to Tara, wardrobe is a part of a vocal coach's job to help their students with.

@@bdawg202787 That has literally nothing to do with talent. That’s why I like blind auditions on the show the voice. It makes you focus on the talent and not the appearance of the artist. What they are wearing, the body type etc. Tara took the experience of this moment away with that “ technical mumbo-jumbo” .

Exactly!! Losing your mind isn’t… beautiful or perfect.

@@AmandaKavana exactly. The context of the song makes her delivery genius.

Exactly, I honestly don’t know how she couldn’t have picked up on that

I did. I watched two covers and they definitely fell flat because of the lack of vulnerability, and emotion

She honestly thinks shes better at it clearly. Narcessism is something im sensing in her.

I was literally thinking that

Well, yeah, because there wasn’t anything in this performance to leave me or her speechless. Not everyone will “ connect “ with you when you sing. And I consider my self a very sensitive person and I cry very easily over emotional songs and movies.. but this wasn’t it.. I agree with Tara. The wardrobe note was extremely out of line, but I think she did it more from a theatrical point of view than a superficial one- when you want to convey emotions your appearance does matter.

@@starkin4e You either haven’t experienced heart break or purposely want to be different. You and Tara are probably the only two people on earth who didn’t feel that performance. She could have been a busker on the streets with rags on,real is real, has nothing to do with wardrobe😞

@@MrScans1 But she is not a busker. So when you are performing your appearance does matter. I personally don’t care about that- she looked fine and even if she was dressed differently I still wouldn’t have liked the performance. I actually love the song and love when other people sing it. I’m not a fan of her, that’s all 🤷🏻‍♀️

This woman is off the charts. Commenting on her wardrobe and backdrop. You get it or you don’t. This performance is pure emotion not technique.

queen diystyle I think she did a good job acknowledging both technique and emotions. Singing with technique is also important if you want to preserve your voice. Some of Yebba's execution were questionable where it could have been better emotion wise and vocal health wise.

I think when you work with vocals as a profession, you can't help but focus on the technical aspects of performances. Which is what she's here to do anyway, so in that sense Tara did her job well. However, this is one of those moments where you should just sit back with earphones on and listen to the whole thing without any stops. It's not about how well she did her runs, the pace of her vibrato or whether she's singing too high or low for her range. It's about the emotion she conveys and only that. At least it is for me. Which was the reason I was very hesitant to watch this reaction, cause the performance is perfection in my eyes.

I agree with you a bit, but the whole point of this YT channel is about critiquing vocals - so to just "feel" the performance rather than speak on the vocals would defeat the whole purpose of Tara's YT lmao

I agree with you. Yebba's whole thing is that she grew up singing in church and feels music which totally shows in the way she sings. The cracks and the rough parts of the song are what made it for me and it's not about sounding perfect all the time. Technique is important but it is also important to just sing and enjoy yourself, Yebba is clearly in the moment and telling a story, I think Tara completely missed the sentiment of the song. Also, commenting on Yebba's clothes and saying how unflattering her top is was a low blow, it's about the singing not appearances.

+1 @SophieCox

Okay and?

You are right. It was on point. It was beautiful too. Her variation from edgy gritty belting to soft was intentional and takes lots of control, the opposite of what Tara was implying. And there was no trade of beauty, it was beautiful

🙌🏻

check out SoHyang, she's a gospel singer from South Korea, all of her work are full of Gospel. and amazing vocalist too...

Tadiwa N just because she's white, can sing apparently gets put it in the Adele category when she's on her own influence this is a very poor reaction... Yebba is pure raw talent and has something that you can't teach

Well- she never said she was influenced by Adele, she said she has a similar tone as Adele - which is essentially true. And that all makes sense because Adele and many British singers were heavily inspired by soulful singers from Motown, the Clark sisters being included in that category as vocalists from Detroit.

I agree, gospel is a small industry which doesn't get it's due credit but has elements copied by just about anybody whose anybody! I find nothing about her voice unpleasant, even the very small mistakes which I think add color to her vocals. Her voice for me is ear candy, I ❤ it!

Yebba, at times, has an Adele sound - people are commenting as if it's a bad thing when people say Yebba sounds similar to Adele - both have such huge, amazing voices! They're emotional, passionate singers. But sista Abbey Smith has an upbringing in the church, so you hear the gospel too! SHE SANGS! Yebba is sweet, grit and soul all in one. Amen and Amen.

Patrick Hatem well said!

I think technically she was right

Your poor students

Man I was livid at that point. That "crack" was VERY creative, skilled and beautiful and Tara doesn't get anything about this performance

Okebaram E 100% agree! If this was a technically ‘perfect’ song, it wouldn’t be as loved as it is, as it’s almost robotic

She doesn’t need to fix anything. She’s won a Grammy. Everything she chooses is intentional and brilliant. Each run depicts the breaking heart an descending feeling of heartbreak.

I 💯 agree with this!! Yebba is so dirty and gritty in her voice and that’s what makes her amazing!! Those were conscious choices and its freakin awesome!!

100 % agree. Yebba is a guttural conveyer of emotion thru song. Changing those points in this video would make Yebba just another person who can sing and that’s it. This performance of Yebba was gut punching. Her version is exactly what betrayal of love sounds like. She’s unbelievably gifted.

ty thought the same

Amen.

Quortne Stallworth OMGGGGG...I thought I was the only one who couldn't finish watching this video because of Tara! I liked Tara before watching this video, but she completely put me off. Tara completely missed the meaning, emotion and delivery of this song. I understand that you're a vocal coach and you're all about critiquing artist and their vocal performances, but some songs don't require a critique, they require a freaking "STANDING OVATION"!! And she said "I" way too many times for me in this video. Mostly every critique was about her being able to do the same thing: "I this, I that, when I do this, what I would have done, the way I, I, I, I, I, I.....ENOUGH"!! And her clothing didn't require a comment.

I skipped through her talking so much smh

@@PrinceLeigh dude i was livid when she put down her clothing choice. She clearly doesn't understand the real meaning of music and what certain performances are about in terms of the hurt and pain... Ive seen another vocal coach cry at her performance and didnt make one bad critique cuz he said shes so imperfectly perfect... Its part of her style and her heartbreak.

I would just like to add that this video was filmed shortly after Yebba's mother commit suicide. So she is this song with so much emotion towards her mother.

I felt i was the only one who skipped the talks

I appreciate you sharing your opinion!

There is a reason why you r only doing reaction videos on youtube.....lol

The way I hollered and laughed @ “sound like a Disney princess”🤣🤣🤣...but you’re 150% right. The parts of the song Tara reiterated the “proper way” was very bland, boring, and dull😕🤷🏾‍♀️

Look up videos of her singing (the coach), she really has no business with making tese mute criticisms

@@okebaram shes not bad though

Amen

This is just a review from a technical standpoint...so many butthurt ppl here

@@mocsimocsi8319 its not being butthurt when “experts” think their opinions are the only correct path. Singing is an art form in that it is subjective there is no “proper” way.

Ashley Moore period

EXACTLY! I grew up in Southern Baptist Churches so I understand exactly what you're saying and it's 100% on point..... Tara will not get it though.... at all. If she missed how powerful this performance is and where Yebba's influence came from, GOSPEL, then she's never understand your comment. It's a shame.

😂😂😂😭🤣🤣🗣️

Okurrr like the choir director be saying if you don’t feel it when u sing it feel your way back to the pews

She’s be squirming on the bench the whole song wishing she could “critique” the singer

I think so too.

03:40 I think that is what shes saying. She understands yebba is choosing emotion first but she also is critiquing based on a pure vocal coach perspective as well

Most of her critiques are for the people watching. She’s just explaining what’s happening and how you can either make those sounds or prevent them, while telling you what the vocal cost of those choices are.

And if you're so good, I'd love to hear your cover. Go ahead. Show us the vast expanse of your talent.

@k k EXACTLY!

Except that Tara is actually a professional stage director also. So she helps performers with outfits for events. lol

Being a professional stage director is fine and dandy; yet Yebba's phenomenal, outrageous singing ability has zero to do with what she is wearing. I find Tara Simons a bit petty and self centered in a lot of her reactions. She also tends to be judgemental in her attitude and approach toward some, and I will leave it at that. I excused myself from watching. Be safe😷💯😷💯😷

Fayerene Washington I respect your opinion. We can agree to disagree. Stay blessed and stay safe out here during time like this Queen Washington

@@ayyemoedc5533 , right back at you my melanin queen🤗😷🤗😷 Each passing day I am at awe! In my 68 years, never would I have thought that what is happening in this country would be happening. I guess that was very naive on my part. People haven't changed , their masks are just coming off at record pace.

She is a teacher tho

lmao this aint opera. she does stuff that isn't stylistic that just isn't right...like if you drop your chin while singing low you crush your larynx and you can't sing low nearly as well...she would only sound better with a couple corrections. think she's just supposed to teach people how to sing incorrectly because you like this video? what a ridiculous concept. if she said it was bad or something i'd be with you but she just made note of a couple things that she could have done that would have cost her voice far less to do what she wants...that's what learning to sing correctly is...it's not singing super straight and boring (though i've had to do that once or twice when i was the only singer in a band and had 3 sets to get through...r.i.p) it's about managing your voice the best you can...there is no reason to drop your chin while signing low...you're just going to muffle the sound...there is no stylistic benefit. why in the world should you not mention this? i do some things that cost a lot in a voice...like raspy shouts similar to bring me the horizon or other modern heavy metal groups...but there is a way to do it that's wayyyy better...would i complain "bro this ain't opera" if someone taught me the correct way to scream? of course not...that's what you're doing. besides maybe her critique on the really big vibrato on the line "look me in the eye" and the wardrobe comment everything was ways to do what she was doing with the exact same effect only healthier. air for example is the enemy of the vocal cords...you need support and vocal cord closure or you're going to wreck your voice singing like this all the time. air rushing through your cords dries out the mucosal membranes and that's bad...suddenly your falsetto will break...you won't be able to get into head voice...all kind of problems. does that mean this isn't a great performance? no of course not. but if you saw a powerlifter lifting a fuck ton of weight with kinda bad form does that mean you should teach that form? no...yeah maybe some people can pull it off and maybe they won't even get hurt like other people...but this is a vocal coach...she's not going to teach you to sing in ways that will hurt you and you're wrong if you want her too.

And Tara never said that.

She stopped it so many times that there's no way she could possibly feel the emotion in it. Her mind was not open from the beginning by judging her appearance and constantly critiquing every vocal "flaw." I've never seen Tara stop a video this many times 🙄

SAME

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 so glad someone said it

But it is her job to make your voice sound amazing, so that’s exactly what she’s doing, pointing out the technical flaws that actually make the song so emotional.

I Q wow I didn’t see it that way. I thought everyone was just kinda hating on her! Thank you for helping me to understand the situation😊

Say it again!!!!

@@richardshanks237 wait I'm sorry?! I don't remember Yebba asking her to critique her performance...but you can refresh our memory...

Elonda Vibez my sentiments exactly! I watched your reaction before I came to this one, and your reactions and facial expressions were literally identical to mine. To be completely honest, watching this reaction just pissed me off a tiny bit 😂

@@mishag7504 lml!!! Ok so it's not just me... I have a sensitive spot for music being that music has been the only thing that's saved me from everything so I was also a bit aggravated with this .

Elonda Vibez man I understand that all too well! Music has been my everything for my entire life. I cherish music above all else, honestly

@Elonda 💯

How could she feel anything? She was a mess on X Factor. She wouldn't know talent if it hit her in the arm. She was straight hating lol

Mimi C lol real talk, I subscribed just to unsubscribe

This was a HORRIBLE critique. This was not made to be perfect! It was made to evoke emotions! This performance was fantastic!

I think she meant that shes not black tbh I thought she was gon be black when I heard her voice too but she turned out to be white

Really??

Yes, really!

oh is she? then why would she dip her chin on low notes and crush her larynx? there are some things in this that are obviously not a choice. people are so biased about the music they love...someone points out a technical flaw to us for education sake and they jump on their back.

@@disturbed4everluke I completely disagree, she can do the song standing still but this all is a performance

@@omaramer7022 i don't understand your point...what does standing still have to do with anything? that's not the point of my comment nor did the creator make any points at all about her movement or posture.

I think that perhaps this is a highly emotional performance for this artist... so when you are in that moment, technique may go right out the window to a certain extent. Her talent is obvious. The way she connects people to the story she is telling is incredible. The teacher is there to critique though. She comes off harsh because she seems to not emotionally connect to the song. That seems crazy, because most people can't even watch this without having some form of empathy! I might be wrong. Just an observation.

@@yourdrunkaunt5409 Agreed. Seemed utterly unconnected.

It wasn't about the vibrato being slow, it was about it oscillating unevenly; aka tremolo.

@@InvisibleTacoMan but no one gives af about a tremelo when you're about to LOSE YOUR MIND. THAT was the point!!

John Black Jr. When you’re a vocal coach analyzing a performance to help people understand what’s right or wrong, and what good technique is, you do care. Maybe, don’t ask a vocal coach to react to something if you might not like what she’s going to say?

She does that ..lol.

Watch her x factor audition...u will lose all respect

Yes lawd. She wishes.

I agree she was doing the most this song brought me to tears the fact she had pain behind this songs

Roz She ant been throw nothing that why she don’t get it

gabyitzel right

Right!!! And I just watched it last night. She did it 😂😂😂

Evan Belcher preach! I thought about the same thing.

💯💯

Thank you! I think people's love for her is blinding them to the technical things that could have been better in THIS particular performance. I think she is a phenomenal singer, but this was not my favorite performance from her.

She critiqued her wardrobe lol. She was definitely over analytical at small points. Confusing interpretation an what SHOULD BE isn't the same. Context matters, this was her first time performing the song an original music. There is parts that are her keeping it altogether. It's obvious the song was more emotional for her than what's she's seeing as a "performance". Sometimes the flaws are enhancements. Just like how some bands sound better with rough raw recordings to polished ones. But yea. Some of the comments don't know the point of a vocal coach channel lol.

I think she took it from the standpoint of teaching vocalist to preserve their voice. I'm sure she truly enjoyed the performance as we all did. I agree she did what a vocal coach would should do. She could've left out the ambiance and clothing critique though.

Thank you!!!

THISSSS

I don't think Tara can feel anything... All of her chakras are screaming open us....

Agreed!

Can we please like this comment more and keep it at the top. LOL

Right ✅

Nancy Reyes totally agree!!

Big Facts‼️💯💯

Carl Von Sirls Then again, it was a side note and an opinion. Also, presentation is important to a degree.

Because she is jealous and has no talent other than judging more talented people

This is a vocal coach stand point not a reaction video, so of course she's going to get technical on the vocals. But even then she never devalued the emotion of the song. If the vocal critique (not that I think Abbey will watch it) would help the vocalist then all the better for her

@@esasan I'm aware it was a vocal coach, clearly in the title. I never said she spoke down on Abbey or the song. My comment wasn't just about the emotion of the song but about the type of singer who was performing it. This coach's approach is about making it sound pretty and this was not that type of song. It was about gut wrenching pain in a beautiful melody. I prefer this song to almost all songs I hear on the radio and other than her one flat note (which didn't matter anyways,) her vocal performance was just short of perfection.

@@jazzyjakeen9469 but she wasn't talking about making it pretty but ways in which you don't need to strain your voice in areas that sounded strained by incorporating technique that would not in Abbey's case devalue the performance but keep her on point health wise vocally (not that Abbey wasn't on point) but if her critiques can help benefit Abbey then all the better for her.

@@esasan You're not understanding. First things first, you don't have to agree with my comment but I won't change my opinion because you don't. To recap, this was not the song for that. When she gave examples, they sounded like the pretty version and didn't give nearly the same raw emotion that this song begged for. Abbey's approach was exactly what makes this song leaps and bounds beyond the competition and she doesn't sing every song in the exact same fashion. A true artist will know what approach to use. Her church roots and soulful tones fuel a lot of her styling and I've noticed she makes diff choices in diff songs so it's clear she has some training. As we agreed on, she is more than likely not going to see this and prob has a good team around her that would assist her if they believed she needed more vocal coaching. The start of my initial comment was that I understood her technical suggestions but that this song was not the average and didn't need them. You are free to write your own comment on this video and speak on how you think her critique was helpful, etc. Have a nice day!

@@jazzyjakeen9469 I ain't either agreeing or disagreeing with your comment because I to am a fan of Abbey and it's obvious abbeys roots vocally and how she sings, she's definitely had training whether it be in church (that gospel speaks even in this song) or anywhere else. But in saying that why isn't this song not one to dissect vocally, regardless of it being an emotional, soulful blusey song? Considering it was a song requested from viewers, a video the vocal coach has never seen so it wouldn't be biased also has some crazy soul riffs, technique in areas that was bomb and areas that could be improved on? This vid in my opinion since we all have one is perfect for a vocal coach to critique and dissect coz it shows what was good, what could be improved on and how to convey conviction and emotion vocally which the vocal coach brought up and discussed in throwing question to us on our thoughts. Only thing I thought was random in this vid was when she talked about the dress like wtf. But yeah you have a nice day to

Yeah well, smoking like a chimney probably had something to with it, as well?

Brax1982 if yebba smokes then good facking goodness that makes this all the more impressive of a performance

But then not singing the way she does probably wouldn't have gotten her as big as she is

Of course, you are assuming the only way to get vocal nodules is from improper vocal technique. That is not the case. So it isn’t a straightforward cause and effect.

If I could sing like YEBBA, I would rather keep doing what she is doing and suffer the consequences in 10 years time (maybe), than sing like yet another mundane, polished singer with a small amount of talent

Technique is the foundation that you build upon. You can’t have a body without the skeleton.

Lmaooo DRAG HER‼️‼️‼️

12:50 she says little rough and i feel the same way. singing too pretty is a curse, that is literally one of my favorite runs since stevie wonder. this vocal coach looks at music like a bloody math exam

Shaqkia Dossett You say this like she was supposed to automatically know Yebba’s situation. This is a critique on her vocals it’s not like she out right insulting the woman, she’s just doing her job. I get that stress and pain can affect vocals but it’s silly for someone to get mad at someone else for not initially knowing because this video was probably requested

CLUELESS point is the title says Vocal Coach Reacts not Vocal Coach critiques whole time she consistently pausing talking about she needs to do this and she needs to do that and she needs to hit this note a certain way and this and that and I don't like that run and so on and so forth now I get vocal coaching is her profession however yebba is not her student she's just doing what she loves to do and naturally letting it flow and flaws or not they were perfect to me but all that doing her job stuff don't really matter cause that means nothing if she's not paying her for her help or her opinion... And yes tho she may not have known her situation that just goes to show you never know what a person is going through so before assuming, you should take a step back and consider that maybe there's a reason someone does something the way they do it

Shaqkia Dossett but like that’s what she does she blindly watches videos and reacts as a vocal coach which is the title. As a vocal coach she is going to react to everything as a vocal coach and in all her videos she tells you how she would react if she was teaching them. I think you are the one missing the intent of this video. And she obviously liked it and she said she is talented and doing well. She even said she was doing to well for the voice tv show to help her out. She is doing what she does and giving her opinion that doesn’t mean she misses the point of the song she like the singer is just doing her job.

Josh Mosley trust and believe I'm not missing you guy's point I completely understand what y'all saying and where y'all coming from but y'all are missing my point she ain't teaching them anything cause they could care less she is only teaching those of you that watch this video how in her opinion should be sang maybe Yebba wants to sing her song the way she is singing it with rough notes and so on and so forth whose to say that as she was writing the song she didn't hear them rugged notes in her head and honestly I don't care how anytime feels about my comment cause as far as I'm concerned just like y'all saying this is her opinion as a vocal coach.... This is my opinion of nobody likes my comment that cool then keep scrolling and no I don't know what she says in all hey videos because this was the first and last video that I've seen of hers and I didn't even fully finish this one because I couldn't stand her "critique"

NeekFeek Finally someone who has a brain. All these children have been all in a fuss because a vocal coach is giving yebba constructive criticism.

@@robertjosephmaccready4820 Sorry being constructive ends when saying 'they're surprised by someone's voice after first seeing their appearance'. .Or critiquing the outfit she chose to wear - 2019.

She's saying she's about to LOSE her MIND. Where is the stability in that?! Have you EVER had your heart broken? Can you remember the stages you went through? Can you remember how unstable your emotions were? For me, there were times I'd think about the person and anger set in to the point I was ready to go punch a hole through a wall, but I had to take a deep breath and pull myself together. I had to smile to wipe that rage off of my face. That's the reality of heartbreak. It's unstable, just like her vocals. So guess what that means? She did her job well in conveying this song. It's your job as the listener to be open to receiving it instead of looking for inconsistencies in a song that's not supposed to add up.
