Voice Teacher Analyzes ALEX NEWELL x INDEPENDENTLY OWNED (from SHUCKED) 

6:04 you best believe there was SHOUTING in the theatre when Alex modulated, and this song had a full standing ovation despite being in the middle of the show 😂

Your breakdowns are always so well explained that even a non-singer such as myself understands what you mean. Alex sang the hell up OUT that song! Now I still wanna hear you sing something so badly!

Okay we hear you hitting them notes with Alex you betta go head. Another great analysis love it. 👏🏾 👏🏾

At the end of the year when Spotify sends me my wrapped stats, Independently Owned WILL BE one in my top song list lol Alex is a powerhouse and they blew me away! The clarity and control is outstanding. I really enjoyed and appreciated your breakdown and I'm glad to have found your channel (and subscribed!) through this song and RU-vid suggestion.

Loving the clarity but also the sassy of the voice. Sang gurl

YOU ARE THE BEST! I understood every single point of that analysis. Thank you so much. Huge fan.

I recently came across this as well and LOVE IT! So glad you covered it. Amazed by Alex, and amazed by you and your ability to sufficiently emulate and explain what's happening in a performance. There are a few vocal analysts on here that don't have nearly your chops, and its no shade, but it goes a long way that you can for me personally to hear and understand.

"SING THE SONG OR DON'T!" That'll preach!!! Both of y'all SANGIN!

You really have a control over your voice that is impressive, a given talent! You could replace Alex when he decides to leave the show!

Movie? It's a Broadway musical, damn it!

Omg my friend Ashley Kelly is in this show ! It’s a must see

jaron the way the spirit of janet jackson took over when you kept repeating “and modulated” 😭

How much control Broadway singers have constantly amazes me.

Thank you for the conceptually elegant analysis!!! Very FASCINATING deconstruction of the ART OF SINGING!!!

I'm a new subscriber and I am BEGGING you to do Richard Smallwood "Total Praise" I am SO interested in your knowledge and analyzing of that beautiful track. If you've already done it I'm still searching your catalog. You have amazing content and i love your channel❤

You have to listen to hin do random black girl, I know where I've been and mama will provide.

You better HIT them notes effortlessly!

Impressive. Not only can you dissect the vocal performance, but you can pretty much match it.

WOW! They killed that! Tony nomination coming after being snubbed for Once on this Island!!!

I saw this live. When Alex sang "and modulated", they looked at the conductor and did a "bring it up, lets do this" hand gesture. you could feel the energy in the crowd when that happened, and the rest of the song was felt deep down, lol... They going places!!

“That’s hard!” And proceeds to do it effortlessly😂😂😂❤

Alex is life! Sooo incredibly talented and dedicated to their craft.

Sir, you always AMAZE us with your talent!! What can't you do with your vocals? God bless!

Ummmmm....you are my vocal coach in my head!! "Don't worry bout how it sounds, worry bout how it feels, the sound is there, SING!!" I needed to hear this today...thank you!🙏🏾💖

I know everyone loves the big powerful high notes but her low notes are sooooo pretty

Y’all, we know that Jaron said “movie” at one point. He meant “musical.” It was just an autopilot mistake. He and we and you all know it’s a wonderful musical new to Broadway. 🫶🏾

The very moment that I heard this performance, I have been obsessed with it ever since. Thank you for an insightful analysis as usual.❤️👌🏿

I am obsessed with this song. I can not wait until the album release!

Alex's voice is unreal! I've seen the show a few times and Alex nails it at every performance. This song often gets a standing ovation! Chills.

Can you do “I2I” by Tevin Cambell from The Goofy Movie

you hit the same bloody note... I mean why don-t you audition for this kind of stuff, you're quite amazing

Saw Shucked on 5/28 and Alex/Lulu simply sent delighted rows of goosebumps up and down ny arm. Hearing this song live was my main reason to see the show, but the entire thing was such a joyous experience. You are literally laughing and smiling from the first moment to the last.

Alex absolutely slays this live. Best part of Shucked and a reason to see the show within itself.

The way you are keeping up with the icon that is Alex is a testament to your own talent, my god! JEALOUS.

I think its so amazing how you almost perfectly execute what the singer does, its mesmerizing.

I’m so happy to see an analysis of Alex! After seeing Alex sing “Mama Will Provide” I was floored. The control and finesse they have is unreal, and I know there’s nothing else they’re supposed to be doing on this earth fr.

Alex was ROBBED for Once on this Island…they coming for that Tony Award!

A great singer reacting to a great singer!!! ❤❤❤ I love your break downs of technique

@ 3:31 " SING ALEX" serious / hahaha 😂

At the end of her performance (Shucked, it's on Broadway) the audience stood and cheered! It was electric! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Black voices are soooo beyooond another level, right?! 🙌🏾🙏🏾

I have loved Alex since Glee and their performance here is truly incredible. Your analysis is delicious and I love how you explain the physicality of singing, it's a workout and it's powerful. I love "she took a bite out of that sound." that's poetry right there. I love to belt it out when I sing in my car, I know it's just for me. "Don't worry about how it sounds, worry about how it feels."

This is vocal architecture - Bravo, Alex! Great review, as well.

you over here hitting these notes so effortlessly like your the one singing on stage. YOU BETTER SING!!!!!!!!

Still hoping for “Patti LaBelle "Working" Better copy” reaction please. That’s the youtube title

Yesss! I live for Alex

10:31 wait. i just *slapped* my table when you sang that last word.😂😂it stung my palm.😂😂😂😂

ALEX IS NO FUCKN JOKE.

I have yet to hear anything sung by Alex that has been less than spectacular. Alex is the consumate musician. They do not merely sing, and most definitely does not perform. The skill level and talent are beyond compare. Your analysis is spot on.

ALEX NEWELL IS THE GOAT!!!

not you EATING UP the demonstrations?!?!!

Going to NYC next month. "Shucked" is on my list of shows to see!! Alex is amazing!! Btw, you betta sing Jaron!!

Maestro Jaron M. Legrair I will continue to visit your Studio Analyzes. You are one of the ONES TO WATCH. I enjoy so much your theatrical approach to analyzing. Congratulations on your studio and years of success to come. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Love this review! “Sing the song, Periodt.”

You just showed us that you can sing the song 😂😂😂😂

Alex is STUNNING! I was lucky enough to see Shucked twice and watching Alex live is just astounding! Also, I love your videos! I've seen a lot of vocal coach react videos and yours are by far my favorite. I love the passion and explanation you give. I feel like it only adds to what we're watching and I'm not irritated when you stop to talk because I'm just so excited to hear what you have to say! :)

“I’m not doing it quite like Alex is, but…” Sir, that was immaculate.

LOVE ALEX NEWELL WHAT A TALENT

Listening to you explain all of the body position and technique Alex uses helps us understand more what is happening. I wonder if Alex really thinks about all this while they sing, if it is just effortless and natural for them? I guess that's what sets them apart from us mere mortals!!!

Looking forward to the album release. He was all THAT and more on Glee where he didn't get his props. Good bless you and your gift Alex.

I'd also love it if you reacted to 'mama will provide' also sung by Alex🥰

idk if you've reacted to it before but alex newel sang if i were a boy by beyonce on glee as the trans girl character unique and oml... alex takes that song to a new level, i cry every time i hear it

I was so hoping you would analyze this song!!!!

Your smile with "and modulated" Ah!!! It's so so so good. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

Alex can put vibrato on those top notes without sounding like Daffy Duck!

So funny you’re breaking this down because when I heard this FANTASTIC song sung by Alex, I was thinking of like who else has this range and who else could cover this and you came to mind! Would love to hear you, Amber Riley, and Mykal Kilgore do renditions of this

"you either have to SING. or you DON'T. just GO FOR IT" yeah honestly, just tried that spontaneously with that part of this song and you are 1000% correct

I’ve watched *many* of these voice teacher/educator’s assessments of songs and performances of singers. YOU dear are the best I’ve encountered. Informative, detailed, and girl, hell you too can sing! ❤️

Jaron, you gon make me throw something at you! Sanging up them rafters like that.

"im not doing it quite like alex" -continues to sound just like Alex

coming back to watch after Alex won that well deserved tony!

Can you do Patti Labelle “Working”

if you haven't heard it yet i think you would really enjoy Shoshana Bean singing Make it Rain.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a_YSY3jcBuo.html

EXCUSE ME, HOW U IMITATING ALL THAT EFFORTLESSLY? YOU BETTER SING

I told a friend of mine that you and Alex were vocally similar.

Your analysis 👌 is spot on. I have been showing Alex to my voice studio as a lesson in becoming the music and putting your whole self into the piece. As my mom used to say "Child, you bettah SANG that thing." Alex ate and left nary a crumb.

Jarrod my man. I'm waiting for some Rachelle Ferrell and En Vogue. Please and thank you.

okay so we know who alex's eventual replacement is gonna be 👀 hittin those notes sitting down like it was nothin!!

That's Jennifer Holidays little daughter there. She can SAAAAAAANG. YASSSSSS!

Wow, I just came from watching the show for a second time and they give a performance for the ages... by the way, if someone told me you are a regular understudy of the character I wouldn't doubt it, the control and talent is just humbling. Thanks for the brilliant analysis

Miss Patti Labelle next is due :) , the “working” theatre performance. (-a suggestion from our black theatre club)

I got the privilege of seeing this show in previews and let me tell you that it is even better (if that’s humanly possible) in person

10:30 - I needed this 😭 I really sing the best when I just...SING! cuz belting notes are not ones to be held back or they WILL fail 😅

If you have not already, pls analyze the voice of Rashaan Patterson. Please and thank you.

Okay. I can let go, but I can’t reach those notes. What would u say to someone who can’t get there even if you’re adjusting for difference in octave

I loved watching you snatch that analysis. Love your energy always in your videos.

I’ve loved Alex from the very beginning and watching them grow over the years is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! And your analysis are always the best to watch!!

Clipping that bit about just letting go and not worrying about the sound so I can play it before each singing lesson :D

I know you had a lot to say about Alex but HONEY - you betta sing!!!!!

This made me want to fight YOU sir. SING!

I’ve never been edged better in a 5 minute span than I was listening to Alex Newell sing this song on Broadway

I haven't had a singer give me goosebumps in a long time and it happened from the moment I heard the very first note!!

Someone next week is going to ask me "You came 200 miles to hear one song?".

It’s from the musical shucked ❤ their is no movie lol! Great video

You're a joy! Alex had that raw talent right out of the gate on the Glee Project. Fell in love with them immediately and get chills even just thinking about how much they've accomplished already and how many people they have inspired! I need to see this show!

Where is the video of YOU singing this song?!??? Sing Jaron!

Shucked is a Broadway show, not a movie.

I so want a video of you hitting this whole song. Incredible

Oh PLEASE cover this you would eat.

I saw it live and everyone was giving a standing ovation for close to 3 minutes
