Voice Teacher Reacts to Save Your Tears - The Weeknd and Ariana Grande 

think my biggest obsession in life will be how ariana grande sings live. she always brings something new to a performance !

The first few times I heard this song I didn't know it was Ariana because of the darker tone she is using. I love it! So good for the song.

I love her tone here! This sounds like a woman singing instead of a young girl. I love the more mature sound of her voice. Absolutely beautiful!!

Wasn’t this just a reset. People together admiring pure talent. Pure talent truly happy to perform. Just wonderful vibes all round, something we miss and crave. More of this for everyone!

IMY, this is a better collab than "Love Me Harder". This song really compliments their voices in a very unique way.

I can't save my tears for another day because I'm a sobbing mess just when I see live performance and audience totally vibing 😭😭😭

She didn't get married the day before this, she just posted her wedding pics right before this performance. I'm not sure when she got married, maybe a week or two before the performance. Idk. There were rumors like a week or two before she actually confirmed it by posting the pictures so idk.

in the original remix ariana says the “i don’t know why i run away” and it goes right before the whistle but in this performance abel took that part so that ariana didn’t have to come back in until the whistle (like you said, it would be hard to go to the whistle from a low run)

I didn’t necessarily listen to Ariana. But over time I have heard a bunch of stuff from her and can not help but to like and respect her talent! I always liked pop and r’n’b and dance etc. but seeing what she can do is just so amazing. So much talent!

It's the "brush your teeth before you go to bed tonight" for me🕺🏾💃🏽🕺🏾💃🏽🤣❤

He sings a lot more classically than I would’ve expected when he’s live, at least in the beginning before moving to higher notes. Also he has one of the best exclamation “yah/ah/woo’s” IMO, so soft yet crisp

I had no idea this track was by these two. It sounds like something straight out of the 80s. I should know, I lived it x

She moves her jaw fluidly because she is probably so relaxed and because she can. Or maybe moving her jaw is what keeps her relaxed. Regardless, she is on another level.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG THANK YOU SO MUCH SAMMM

Abel and Ariana were singing like the rent was due. I was so amazed by their vocals🤩

I SO prefer this ari.....it’s so much prettier imo. Gorgeous.

I loved Abel's laugh of delight too!!! What a joy. Thanks for reviewing Sam. Awesome as always.

I was taught to plié slightly (relaxing down into whenever I was having issues throwing my head up/going on my toes to reach high notes. I hated it at first, but now I feel like I can support those notes better because I’m focusing on my breathing and relaxing, rather than straining to reach.

Hi Sam, you should react to Måneskin! They’re an Italian group which won the Eurovision this year! You should listen not only to the song they won with (“Zitti e Buoni”) but also to other songs like “Torna a casa”, “Coraline”, “Chosen” and others.. Hope you will!

I love when Sam demonstrates the techniques with his own voice! I forget his singing voice is lovely

I love when people become famous early on because you can listen to the changes in their voice over the years. I was blown away by Ari from the first song (thought she was Mariah at first!) and couldn't wait to hear what she would sound like later. Such a great artist. 👍 Thanks, Sam, for another great video!

I love Abel and have never liked Ariana's music that much, but no denying she has a stellar voice. They sound great together and looked like they were relaxed and had a ton of fun. 🙂

Yes!!! Been waiting for this! I love this performance so much, the fact that they look so happy brings me joy.

ahh that part about having joy in the act of singing itself!!!!!!! yes!!!!!

You are seriously one of the best vocal teachers out there!! Everything you say makes so much sense and your attention to detail is amazing

omg i searched yesterday for this performance in your channel, and today, after having such an exhausting day, i am seeing that u actually reacted to it 😭😭 met u last week, and i’m seeing all the old videos on my free time. i’m mesmarized with your job, didactics and sweetness, such a great video btw

I love how encouraging and positive you are man ! Love you brother ! Awesome video man

Thank you for your analysis Sam, you always bring valuable insight into performances!

The JOY is an amazing observation to share! I ADORE these two together!!!!! This song never gets old!!!!!! EVERY morning in the car en route to work it helps me embrace the day!!

Gotta give it up to the audience 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 They were feeling the song, vibing along, and their reactions really hit me hard 🥺

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS !! THANK YOU SO MUCH OH MY GOSH

I recognised first Ariana’s jaw drop in her “no tears left to cry” music video and I thought that might be my key for me to understand how to sing “A” and “O” it didn’t quite work for me but I’m curious to experiment. To be frankly I think “A” and “O” are the hardest vocals to sing although they seem like the easiest lol

Sam i just discovered your channel and i'm obsessed man. I come back here everyday😭

I love what you said about needing to feel joy to really succeed at something! I can't sing for shit but I've recently started drawing and painting again and I do want to someday make a career out of it. so even though right now I'm constantly seeing people be infinitely better at art than I am that just pushes me to practice more because I genuinely love creating art :)

it's great to see the analysis from a vocal coach. There are definitely a lot of subtlety that we as audience don't appreciate that go a lot into a great performance!

Your explanation is so to the point and easy to understand love that!

I dig the energy! Thank you!

YESSSSS I was hoping you would do this!!!!!

Im from Chile and i’ve seen her two times live and SHE IS AMAZING !!!!! like your review ! very complete and informative ! 👍🏻

One of the best performances in 2021

i saw this a SCREAMED “yay!!!” i’ve been waiting for your reaction!

I waaaaaited for this🤝🙌🏻

the speed at which i clicked this is concerning

Your reactions just make me smile lol this performance was phenomenal

You made my day! I was asking for it. And you made it! 🙂

YEEESSS I was waiting for your reaction!🤍🤍🤍

7:04 that was so adorable, the reaction 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭

Man I just love how you explain everything so perfectly

Missed your videos! Thanks for this one!!

Man what you said at the end about the smile and the joy was amazing 👌👌 I totally agree

I love this song. So effing good. And this Sam Johnson guy seems very clever on his area too. Liked it all.

THIS is the video we've all been waiting for!

THANK YOU FOR THIS ONE! 😭🤩 WE LOVE YOU.

I just love this song💜and how it puts a smile on everyones face Yours also 💜So nice to watch Ty 💜

In depth analysis great work reviewing and communicating- thank you

Loved this performance! Ariana’s darker tone but still ease in notes is amazing

Love your reactions, Sam

Hey Sam, I enjoy your channel. Thank you and keep it up!

FINALLY MY FAVOURITE RU-vidR UPLOADED!!!

Hi Sam, could you please react to Go_A "Shum" from the Eurovision song contest? The singer uses some old slavic singing technique and it is really cool!

They both harmonize so beautifully together. Beautiful voices. They should do more music together ❤

Hi Sam 🙋 Missed your uploads!

Missed you Sam!

10:54 you nailed it here. "For the act itself..." I've started playing out recently and performing in front of people that really vibe and engage in what you're doing, is the best!

They sound very good together! I love them!

Beautiful words towards the end of the video ❤️

Luv this 💜

Love watching the reactions when she hits that note

I absolutely LOVE this tone for her. It suits her so well

i dont know how many effects there could be in Ariana's microhone but she's always perfect live, holy damn

Both extremely talented vocalists 👌🏼

Love your reaction!

They are both Amazing together!

The massive smile on your face says it all She’s awesome

So nice to be here again, love you tons

6:50 Dang, those vocal runs

LOVE THIS REACTION

loveeee this ❤️❤️❤️

love this song sm

You are an inspiration. Last night, I was able to brush my teeth thanks to your support.

ur comment about the jaw thing is so important! i suffer from TMJ and its literally impossible to move my jaw like that let alone open it wide LOL. loved the video!

Could you do something Eurovision, please? There were some great vocals this year! I'm pretty sure Gjon's Tears “Tout l'univers“ should be the most interesting for you as a vocal coach, because his falsetto is just so damn good and the transitions between head and chest voice are insane. It's a very technical song. Barbara Pavri - voilà (french chanson), Destiny - Je ne Casse, Ana Soklic - amen, Eden Alene - Set me Free (Whistle notes!) and of course the winner Måneskin - Zitti e buoni (glam rock) are all worth a reaction.😁

Cool review, so positive!!

Great review as usual, thanks! Btw, just noticed you have a poster of HK behind you 👍 Me typing this from there now 😉

Great video!

Fascinating 💖

I’ve missed you!!!

I AM OBSSESSED FOR THAT'S SONG 💃💃🇧🇷

Wow that lip shape technique you explained at the beginning blew my mind

Besides the great singing, what I also really love about this performance is how they interact witch each other. Like, they're really performing this together, emphasis on "together", it's just so open, natural and very authentic. Both are having a great time and that makes it sound so much better to me. I don't listen to Ariana Grande at all and don't know, what else she's doing but the deeper parts are fantastic, so rich and full, still loud but not unpleasant or forced in any way.

LOVED the brush your teeth bit. Thank you

hi Sir Sammm you're back!!!

Would love to see you talk about Sarah cothran’s cover of as the world caves in

NOT ME BEING OVERLY SATISFIED WHEN I FINALLY SAW SAM UPLOADED A REACTION VIDEO OF THIS IHEART VERSION 😭✋🏾💖✨

Learning, learning, learning. Thanks.

Quite honestly the two best singers of all time on one stage :))

This still deserves a Grammy... Anyway I just wanted to say that I binge watched all, or well, a lot of your Harry Styles reaction videos and I loved them. Would you ever do a Louis Tomlinson reaction too? That would be so cool. Especially a reaction for "Only The Brave". Thank you

I love that this popped up on my Google news feed. Happy to see you around the music world, Sam! Let's do a collaboration sometime!

The satisfaction the video is exactly 12 minutes

is this not the performance of the decade ? OUTSTANDING!!
