Voice Teacher Reacts | MORISSETTE sings "Defying Gravity" from Wicked LIVE on Stage Sessions 

Does Morissette hit all the right spots for me when she sing this song? Absolutely. Technicalities aside, she was just doing this for fun for her fans and yet I swear to God outclassed seasoned vocalists worth their salt. For me, it's about maximum impact at the time of delivery, and she slayed the hell out of it.

Gee, I don't know who this girl is, but I have watched Wicked one with Idina and one way back with Stephanie Block and despite all the "critiques" you gave this girl, she definitely sang the song way way better than they ever did. Just because a person is a car driving instructor doesn't mean they can be Formula One car racing drivers.

Mori is a PRO. This is perfection being the last song of 6 big song she did.

Mori is a great singer ever.. So addictive to watched... nice and honest reation....

Every point was well taken by Mori I am sure. It was a perfect Vocal Coach Reaction. It was supportive and instructional as well as glorifying! As a Mori fan I sincerely hope you research her latest performances as she has grown immeasurably in the last 2 years. I appreciate the candor and sincerity you put into this reaction. I decided to subscribe and hope to see more Mori in the future.

Ahhhh I liked this review! I haven't seen your channel before, but liked and Subbed! Most Broadway fans are familiar with "Wicked" and especially this song! I myself have gone down the "Defying Gravity" and "No Good Deed" rabbit hole of RU-vid compilations 😁 (I'm sure you've seen them ,where it's just 15 or more minutes of Elphabas around the world belting these songs) I can honestly say ( full disclosure I'm a massive fan of Morissette followed and supported for years now, seen her live ) this is one of the standout performances of this song period! She's had this in her rotation for around 9 years, so some of her past performances have ended up on some of those compilations. She does have some musical theatre background. She was the lead in the Disney theater production of "Camp Rock" in the Philippines, and another Musical production there as well. The Legendary Lea Salonga is a huge supporter of Morissette, at one point describing her as "Ridiculous " ! I think this video is working it's way slowly around the Broadway Community. I have seen it in a couple of Broadway blogs on Twitter and Instagram. There were some informal uploads from fans that caught the livestream, but the Production company behind the formal upload waited a bit to release it, and just uploaded it a day or so ago. I think she's phenomenal ,and her versatility is incredible. As I said , been following her for years and to see a vocalist go from "Defying Gravity " to Karen Whites "Superwoman " to "Dream on" by Aerosmith authentically is some mindblowimg stuff. The way she bends and shapes her voice and entire Performance vibe is sooo engaging! (I have typed too much so I'll stop 😊) looking forward to More Morissette here!

In other words, it's up to the artist, different taste, different style, different interpretation, different background in music, and different auditions. 👍👌👏

I’m so happy singers do their thing and keep it fresh and unique ... like Morissette, KZ, 4th Impact, Katrina Velarde and more. Vocal coaches, teachers, (opera) singers, musical directors, producers, etc etc from all over the world all rave about these girls, and it is so incredibly refreshing that the singers above do not fall into the traps of conforming to the ‘norms’ of how to sing in any way, rather just doing it the way they feel is right for them. And that is what everyone is applaud and love. However, there is a handful who nitpick on irrelevant details that only they can hear and that no one cares about ... incl the pros mentioned above. The incredible thing is that the nitpickers don’t pick on vocal issues from established e.g. US talents and live performances incl stage, theater, opera (I am L.A. based) ... I’ve heard plenty of recorded performances being off key, having breath issues, perform with “irregular vowel sounds”, lacking proper ‘diction’, etc, ... yet no criticism by the nitpickers. I wonder why? However, I am thrilled that the world has started to open their ears to the multitude of incredible talents from the Philippines and other countries, and that the monopoly and control exerted by the U.S. ‘tribe’ in that regard is slipping amazingly FAST. True talents are finally being taken seriously, and more and more are overtaking the established singers showcasing true singing abilities ... and not based on recording studios ‘amazing’ abilities to make mediocre sound passable.

It’s easy to point out mistakes and discrepancies when you are viewing performances... you can know all the techniques in your head but applying it and singing it perfectly as you allude to is totally difficult... I have seen elpabhas singing this song and have a hard time singing it... even the great Idina menzel in some instances have a hard time singing it perfectly... mind you I have seen a lot...even the seasoned broadway performers had a hard time singing this song....I have seen vocal coaches especially those that have quite a few criticism when they sing a song they are not perfect, to be honest ( despite them knowing all the proper techniques) ...she had honed this skill of hers for years and as she might be a little unorthodox in their eyes ... she has delivered and provided us excellent and amazing vocals...and that all that matters personally to me... as long as the performance captured the essence of the song and it has tugged your heart in the end....

awesome reaction.. thank you!

Thank you 🥰

NICE REVIEW RACHEL!💙💙💙 THANKS A LOT💙

Mori is a real deal. I love ur reaction to her. Am subscribing❤

you wanna hear her whistle please react her original song "akin ka na lang" and a cover of i wanna know what love is" that was phenomenal.btw nice reaction.

Yup! Morissette is incredible...

You're really a legit voice coach! Nice voice assessmebts and recommendations 😊

Its just few days ago so dont wonder it got only thousands of views..But coach u NEED to watch her own song "Akin ka na lang" on wishbus..She is compared to Mariah Carey bcoz of their very similar nuances but she got her own thing...She is MORISSETTE...!!The rising Phoenix...!!!Expect thousands of subs reacting to her..Thank u coach...!!Waiting for that day u would react to her again..

New subscriber. Finally, I found someone who noticed that "FLY!" 🙂 That's great. Thank you for this.

Ha. You caught that seamless chest-to-head voice transition: “I'd sooner buy....”

Mori = PERFECTION for me. I love that she puts her own little twist to any song she sings. She uses her own tone and style and emotions in every song she songs whatever genre she is singing. She MORIFIES any song she sings.

Please do more of her she is everything ❤

Shes amazing♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

New subs here because queen mori keep reacting all about her and welcome to morissette's world :)

Love your reaction!!! 😍

Maybe she's just living out the role

You're such an incredible Voice Teacher/Reactor. You, pointing out those little mistakes are valid coz you're explaining how it should be done in a better way or placement. Thank you for your honest criticisms! ❤

Morissette brought me here. Subbed. Some good points here.

Mori is so good!

I love your reactions ❤️

The Philippines is Island of the singers!❤️

This is a very nice reaction from you Rachel.. Keep them coming. I hope Mori can see this reaction, who knows. She might get some pointers from this too.

2nd video of yours I watched... I’m glad you’re a fan... more power girl.

hope to see more mori reactions from you....i like the way you give your honest reactions....

THE most honest and objective reaction.

She has SOOOO MANY AMAZING LIVE performances all over youtube. I am extremely addicted to her!

i liked the way she gave suggestions and critic, she explained it detail by detail! more subscriber for your channel! love love more reaction♥️

Great reaction

I love the way you see or express things... I say, this is one of the best reactions articulated.

Her opinion and critics is based on her own observation. Ive seen other vocal coaches abd broadway stars' reactions' so different from hers. They were blown away by Morisette's vocals and techniques. There is nothing wrong with this reaction, she's just being a coach. Im sure she's picked up a few new ways from Morisette as well. No one is perfect.

hello rachel thank you appreciating moris talent as a filipino im so proud of it try her never enough and rise up....

❤️❤️❤️❤️😳 This is just phenomenal. Oh god

Love this reaction ang analysis! 🇵🇭

I love your honest review and I'm learning! ❤

She, Morissette is really unique and distinct to most of singers like she is hitting lots of people on their unconscious. She is really amazing!

Glory of Love never fails. It always perseveres, always hopes, always trusts, and always protects. Thank you very much for sharing. Glory and Dominion Be to the Lord of Hosts Most High Almighty Father Yah God Bless All...

Love u mori. 😍❤

I love your critique. subscribed mam

New subbie. More lof her. Luv her

and that face she did is for the emotions to adds

Omg 👏👏👏👏

Now this is constructive criticism! I love your reaction so much. I really hope she can watch your reaction because I believe that this will help her grow. I watched a theatre vocal coach react to this comparing her to Idina Menzel and I thought he was being biased because he was a theatre vocal coach and it made sense but I didn't really enjoy it at all. But I love your comments on her singing so much!

Cant wait to see you reacting to her SONGS

Welcome coach to Morisette country.. Kindly react to her singing "Fly Like A Bird"

I liked this review. Hope Mori sees this she watches youtube reactions from time to time.

Fly like a bird next??this one is her latest cover thats why it only have that much views..

Great reaction for that reason I have subscribed. I hought she did well there. I have seen a lot of musical specially here in the west end. I am pretty sure if she applied for a main role she's guaranteed a place...She is always amazing!

Naahhhh. One thing straight.. NO ONE CAN EVER BEAT THIS VERSION. LOL. AND ITS A FACT! 😏

I subcribed to your Channel😊

Welcome to the world of Morissette, she is known here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 as the Asia's Phoenix, Thanks for checking her out in your channel. She has so many covers and original songs to check for. I suggest for next reaction is her cover "Rise Up" by Andy Day in wish 107.5 bus and also her original song "Akin Ka Na Lang" and please put translation. Thank you, she has so many fans here in the Philippines 🇵🇭, I'm pretty sure you'll get more subscribers from her fans if you keep on reacting to her. God bless

With the breathing that you noticed it could have been part of stylistic choice.

And this was live and it was after she sang other songs. Wow! She's incredible ❤️

I love you being articulate on the singing techniques. So i dont undertsand why some fans needs to pick you. Every artists has always room for improvement. These comments doesn't really draw away from the fact that she is a great singer!

New subs here'bec of morisette

I actually like your reaction.. This is my first time watching.. Keep it up.. Thanks

She belt unmatched power😍

ms. rachel, wow. the resonance in your voice even when you speak here is amazing. same as Mori.

Remember Morissette was not using any enhancement and remind you this was only a homemade video. She already sang a few songs before this last song in the same hour.

Morisette is a filipino, and english is our 2nd language, maybe its a little bit different as u expected. And shes a pop singer too but pretty good sure she may go for a good training for a broadway song like what lea salonga experience, and rachel ann go.. they are all Filipina.

Morissette ♥️

your critiques are also very legit. you give praise properly and critique properly.

Well just subbed coz of her.hope u continue reacting to this phenomenal singer, by the way all genres of music is not alien to her just hang on to her and u'l find out what i mean. Nice reaction anyway.

When people begin to focus on small details, they will surely miss the beauty of the entirety beacuse they are so occupied on the small stuff that they miss the grandeur.Instead of enjoying they normally get disappointed. It clearly shows on Rachel's face that she's not enjoying her life. She looks on the edge and tensed. Her hair alone looks terribly neglected. She throws a fake smile and laugh from time to time but it cannot hide her sadness within. Don't sweat the small stuff and be like Rachel Sandler.

Oh, ye of little faith, or should I say familiarity :-) When you're more videos into her repertoire you'll see her technique and relaxation is close to unmatched. She rarely sings with tension.

Just a little bit information. She was also a broadway singer, I think that the stages session who uploaded that video was a broadway stages group where Morissette was also a member that's why I think she sang it that way. So I think she must be very trained when it comes to singing broadways. And in fact, she also sang in Camp rock musical here in the Philippines when startibg her career so she must have years of understanding in broadways. But Great reaction tho hope you will do more reactions to Morissette.💜

Your observations are so correct. It could be because English is not her first language. Your critique are very constructive.

This video is a recent video uploaded under lockdown. It was recorded in her house in front of her computer and some Xmas lights background. That is why the views are still 93,000. It was uploaded on July 3,2020. It's now July 12 so it is just 9 days on youtube. So that, if your reaction video was uploaded July 4,2020 it was just a day ago since she uploaded it.

More reaction of Morissette please ❤️

Growl And That FLY

You are a LEGIT too.

Appreciate the suggestions, I am learning😍😍😍

you have to see more from Mori...then maybe you will finally see all her stylistic choices. But be prepared to be mind blown...

I'm a big Morissette fan. When I first heard her sing this song, I thought it was perfect. And I admit that when I heard some of the coach's criticism i felt kinda down but then I realized that she's speaking from a professional's POV. And that's something I'm not familiar with. I believe that Morissette is such a kind person who is open to suggestions on how she can better her performance. I hope us fans will represent this kind of approach whenever we encounter such situations 🤗 Thank you for your honest feedback. Please react to Morissette "Di Mapaliwanag" on MYX Live. It's her original song ❤️

Tnx for the reaction, new sub here. This doesnt have massive views bec 1. This is uploaded just a few days ago and 2. The uploader only has a 100k+ subs compared to her wish videos that got more than a hundred million views which were uploaded a few years already and of course wish channel already has millions of subs.

just for me... 😊 that's word ill remember from you 👌😁😁😁 I'll subscribe 👌...

My Amon❤️🇵🇭

Pls react to her Fly like a bird and RISE UP

Pls. react Morissette's Fly like a bird by Mariah Carey, thanks!

i think what she did on that sky and defying gravity part is intentional i think she wanted to give it some flavor like she's emphasizing the words

I love your review, would love to enroll in your class lol

She's talented and I'm sure you are also talented. Thanks for checking her out. Please react to her singing RISE UP on the Wish bus. Must react. Take care and keep safe.

I wish Morissette can watch this. There's always room for improvement even to those who are on the highest pedestals of their crafts. And that separates them from good to great because they never stop improving.

This a good review.... At least we see mori has so much potential

I think that bcz she open her mouth big to make the words clear and in original its all the same she just put some flavor on it

This was sung live on her instagram and then it was uploaded to her RU-vid

Please react to Morissette Amon Never Enough and Secret Love Song

Real fans dont take suggestions as negative comments, they are ways to get better and better

Aside from her father & Sarah G (Morissette’s The Voice coach), I’ve never heard of Morissette having any type of coach.

Please react to Morissette Amon Bruno Mars Evolution medley and David Foster and Friends Concerts In Manila

First impression; Musical! Disney soundtrack!

Nice reaction ;) i think you should make a cover of that song and let us criticize it 😻😂 go girl you can do it ❤️😍😻
