VOCAL TALKTHROUGH: Jazmine Sullivan & Eric Church - National Anthem at Super Bowl LV! 

This performance proves how amazing she is! They “worked together” because she controlled the performance. She’s a powerhouse yet she didn’t over sing him. She allowed him to stay in his lane and she kind of performed around him doing her thing. It was perfect.

For anyone who complains about this being too long. This is a vocal walkthrough. The point of this video is to breakdown every choice the artist makes, not sit and watch them sing like every reaction channel.

She sounds likes Aretha, specifically the top notes. It's a very similar technique and tone.

The arrangement is so good. the country and the gospel collab is so heavenly. and the Aretha vibes!!!

This made me appreciate this rendition even more

Jazmine was singing for her life

Jazmine gave me VERY much Aretha with her bright, gospel inspired vocals. She’s usually a lot more jazz inspired

Jas has been SLLLLLLEEEEPPPPPTTTT ONNNN for tooo long!!! She was a beast when she was a little girl 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

“…while still appreciating the black.ness. of jazmine’s improvisation.” that was perfection. basically, it allowed one crowd to sing it proper, while the other crowd showed. out. simultaneously! lol eric church did his thing. jazmine dig his thing, her thing, and everybody else’s thing… she ATE this… like, left a carcass ate it!

Jazmine's talent is beyond this world. I'm glad she's getting these well-deserved mainstream opportunities. I love your content ❤️ !!!

Now I’m no vocal coach. But I watched a vocal coach reaction video before I got here and they probably should come watch you. Like a “coach the coach”...cause you REALLY get it. So good!

The "modern" version you're referring to is Whitney Houston 😂 after her performance, that has become the new normal for vocalist to sing.

This was a masterful talk through of a mind blowing performance 🤯

She killed it!!! My God she sang her face off❤️❤️🔥🔥

Jazmine is belting in that upper 5th...we're not ready for worthy of this. But we thank you for blessing us with it Jazmine!!!! Oh Savior of R&B

I love how she's enunciating on certain words. Just giving space and I'm no expert, but I loved it!

When you said “it just wasn’t black” and “as black people we just stretch it out” I felt all that! It’s the easiest way to explain it but I totally understood and loved the authenticity!!! Loved your analysis!

I appreciate you giving eric his credit! He GAVE what he was supposed to GIVE!!!

I'm a huge Eric Church fan. I think they both did a wonderful job!

Jazmine is giving Aretha fully.

I Knew already!! But I’m glad you said it on your platform that Jazmine was actually Able to be free and do A lot more alongside Eric Church than she would have if she sang it alone.

We noticed ALL the same things 💙❤️

You understood the music and appreciated what the both brought to the table more than anyone else I saw. Well done!

Loved this, jazmine gave me chills

I need an in depth analysis of Jazmine voice. She has one of the most unique voices I’ve ever heard. She definitely made me feel more comfortable singing in my lower range. I’m also a jazzy type singer and I live for her runs

This dude can sing his ass off

I love them together, they complimented each other. I don't know why people are saying he shouldn't have been there. But Jaz tho...!!!!!!! It was the ramparts we watched part for me! When she took different liberties with that delivery that was so beautiful I knew this rendition would be a treat and it was! I know nothing about music, but I figured she came in early she gave him a look and then went for the note. Glad u confirmed this for me. Great video!

I thought it was the best “remixed” national anthem since Marvin Gaye’s.

Love your talk throughs! Don't sleep on O'Neil y'all!!

Jazmine is just simply Amazzzzzzing!!!

She make you wanna shout. Whewwww that girl it. 🥰✨

Thank you for sharing your insights on this performance. I wanted to add a couple notes to highlight your points. 1- Not only did Eric Church hold the pocket for her musically, he held it for her politically as well. With all that's happened since June 2020 and especially since Jan 2021, having a black woman sing was a statement. Eric Church held the note for white people to sing along and for the white people who stood for Trump could also feel like this was their song too. Secondly, Jazmine gave beautiful homage to Whitney Houston with her ensemble. She wore a studded head dress similar to what Whitney wore as Queen of the Night. And Whitney wore a white wind breaker jump suit for her anthem. Jazmine similarly wore a white suit. In her interview with a Philly native journalist (sorry I'm not recalling the journalist's or the network's name), this point was noted and Jazmine acknowledged it. (Editted to remove autocorrect typos.)

Nice overview...Jazmine is great...and a great person too...many blessings to her family....

This channel is so cool. You describe things so well. I can’t sing idk how I got here but I love it lol

this analysis was sooo on point! i agree with your points on why that matchup was so good and was able to give us more of what we love from Jazmine!

I love the way you analyze each line of Jazmine's performance. I've learned quite a bit in just this short video exercise. It really helps me with my vocal performances. Thank you. Yes, she is an amazing singer. As you stated, she was actually able to sing in her own style and not over sing Eric. I really love the tempo/rhythm.😊

Jasmine is an entire BEAST!

Love your videos and this channel! I would love to see you talk through some of Moses Sumney’s live performances!!!

Jazmine Sullivan is Kim burell’s vocal twin . They seem to have the same approach to their high belting , maybe Jaz will be belting G5 and G#5 when she is 45-50

Yessss she’s AMAZING!!! Love her

Wow!! Amazing! Thank you so much! Amazing commentary again!! With so much appreciation, Arthur

I loved this!

Love Love Love your passion for your craft❤❤❤

The timing is everything!! you better know that! sing along vs SANGIN!! gotta make room for us ALL. Love it!

Awesome breakdown 👌

I enjoy "Talk Throughs" much more than reactions. You bring up points and point out things that made me fall in love with this pairing. In the beginning I refused to listen to it because although I didnt know a single thing about Mr. Church I KNOW Queen Jazmine SANGS and I felt there really isnt a male artist worthy of a duet with her. So I thought she was going to have to hold back as to not outshine Mr. Church. BUT I was WRONG...and you break down exactly why. I can't tell you how many times I've watched this Talk Through. 😁😁😁

Wow. What brilliant insight, just subscribed. Big Jazmine fan and it's so nice to hear how closely you listen to what she does!!!

You soooo enjoyed doing this.

Love this analysis! You've gained a new subscriber!😉

Great talk through. I'm subscribing off of this alone.

Brilliant analysis

Great analysis!!!

The best talk through ever.

Gerald you killing me🤣🤣🤣

Great job! I agree with you on Beyoncé being the architect for this production. I love how you dissect this performance. Jazmine made this feel like a whole movie with foreshadowing and plot twists. You are cute too! would love to see you sing your favorite song

I love your break down !! 💯❤️

Agreed with this review 👍

I'm in love with her 😍

Jasmine’s vocal quality and breathing technique is phenomenal . HER riffs and style. ………………………………….Simple amazing. Graceful performer

Thaks for making the Black point. you be playing

I'm glad someone talked about the unique time signature. They switched back to the original time signature at the key change

YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT BRANDY’S CINDERELLA MEDLEY WITH TODRICK HALL PLEASEEEEE

She killed it and he was cold as well 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If Jazmine would have sang this by herself, I'm 100% sure, her performance would have been parallel with Whitney's version. At the same time, Jazmine sang superbly here🤌🏽🤌🏽

I love watching you and Soprano Notes (black Opera singer).

💯

You sound like a music instructor . You stamped your time signature by the dawns early light. Your dynamics are great. Jasmine embodies similArities with range versatility. ERic took the lead with his guitar. Quality performance .

As for Jazmine's top range - I've heard her do runs up to G# back to back (belt). Which tells me she can probably sing AT LEAST a B-flat which is crazy (she has a very easy B-flat in head voice which she sings every show in In Love With Another Man). I've always felt like she trained her voice down rather than up. Her song Don't Make Me Wait shows a bit more of her unmodified timbre.

I would love a reaction video of the incomparable Miss Angela Winbush. She is one of those phenomenal vocalists that does not get the recognition enough I think. Angel in particular is one of her many songs that is just like Wow... ❤️❤️❤️

Could you analyze her singing "lift every voice and sing"? I'd love to hear your analysis.

You know you gre up in church. you feel what she did

Call and response of the Black Church

I've always preferred the song in 4/4.

The way u broke this down is awesome 👌🏾 I know it's 8mths old but yesssss u did a good job & yesssss Whitney Houston was da best....... But Jazmin Sullivan sold up & showed out.... 💯🎯

Jazmine is better than Kim burell Kim could never no disrespect. Really tho frfr. Love yr class.

Aretha ??? Maybe a little. Kim Burrell- definitely!

Shhhhhh

Can you PLEASE make a video breaking down what “the pocket” actually means in the simplest form. Ive heard this phrase my entire life with different meanings.

Kinda wish they would’ve just had Jasmine

I’m with you brotha but, one thing you said that she cheat cause she came in early, no sir she meant to come in with the drums if you noticed the hand gestures and how it matches up with her voice to the drums pace that’s how they practiced it

Don’t pause so much😭

I loved lady Gaga playing with mixed meter during the inauguration

yeah she took over the melody lmao

22 mins😑

Great video, but I'm sorry jazmine version of this is better then Whitneys' it's her tone and creativeness, we dont want to say it because whitney is a legend for sure but this was absolutely genius of her and eric.. the only person who I think who could have given this a run for her money is doraneice pace, derrell coley, smokie Norful, not even my girl keke wyatt would have done this justice in this way,because she isnt as creative with her arrangements as jaz. Just my opinion

can we mention how the football player literally began to fall asleep on his feet while Eric was singing alone

I don’t believe Beyoncé has anything to do with the NFL role. I think it’s just Jay Z.

She doesn't sound like nobody but herself, and to me she sounds better than Whitney I'm sorry. So much better.

I wanna fight you!!! You kept pausing the video 🤬🤬🤬

he tried. lol.

I dont care ....i loved jazmines.voice and everything she does but I didnt like the eric church guy....at all...ok his guitar sounded very nice

does white people have a genre?

You can sing too. Wtf

The reason why she doesn't sing it by herself is they are showing two races coming together to sing a controversial song in this climate

YOU TALK TOO MUCH. LEARN TO PULL BACK.

she sound like Yolanda Adams

You Talk Way To Much!

I can't watch this channel so frustrating when you keep stopping it smh.

you pause to muchhhhhhhh

It’s the too much talking for me.
