Voice Teacher Reacts to Usher - Confessions Part II (NPR Tiny Desk) 

I just love watching Sam forget to be a voice teacher and completely fangirl. I just watched this performance for the first time last week so I'm so glad you did this. Confessions is one of my favorites. That man is still so talented.

Usher blew me away with this performance. He made the room his, you know? There was no awkwardness, no one there woulda felt out of place, just as he felt comfortable. And then, he starts singing, and it's like the room stopped existing.

He is entertaining and a great singer. And easy on the eyes👀👀. Really enjoyed this if you cant tell 😂

his instantly recognizable voice 😭 thanks for the good vibes this Monday morning sammo

he has such a clear voice.

This is one of your best videos. Especially the last part, when you talk about storytelling.

"A baby... puppy... a baby puppy" Not sure why but that made me laugh out loud lol. Appreciate your reactions & knowledge so much!

Need this upbeat video today. Thanks for always educating and having the appreciation you do for different style voices and music.

YES!!!! it was so great hearing your analysis of this, such an amazing performance from king Usher 🥹 he still sounds the same 20 years later it’s insane

This is great. Usher brings back so many memories from my youth. I know it's not your usual thing to do a country artist, but I'd love for you to check out Tyler Childers. His voice is really unique!

this was a great video, Sam! I get so excited along with you when you get hype over hearing someone sing so beautifully!

To me you are the best voice teacher on RU-vid, because your way of explaining the biological side is so easy to understand, you are so good in explaining techniques and you are so passionate about it, you made me become from singing only to music that is loud enough even I could not hear me to developing the knowledge how to practice and improve. If I wasn’t always completely broke I’d totally take lessons with you, but I guess one lesson every other month is more of a waste of your time so I’m happy and grateful for your free lessons via your analytics.

Ooohh yay! This song is so nostalgic, now I gotta go watch the rest of the usher tiny desk concert!

Of course I want to be like Usher 👍🏻 ♥️

Yes Usher is amazing and so are you Sam 😊

Ok 2nd time watching thus guy 1st with Monica and I enjoy how when he hears something he smile and lights up, he gets excited to explain what he hears or how to maybe acheive it but only if it's within your range! 😁👍😍

Thanks for another amazing video!!!

I love when the humor comes in unexpectedly, you always get an actual laugh out of me with the seamless jokes. And yes, we always want to be like Usher 😆

King of RnB 👑

Another great video!!! 👏👏

Love this one!

Thank you Sam! Usher is a great singer. Thank you for breaking down the technique!

Thank you for delivering such wonderful content 🙏🏻 I was a singer in my high school days and I really wish I could have had access to coaching like yours after I graduated 😊 Maybe I should start singing again 🤔

I was instantly transported back to 2003/2004 riding around campus, doing dubious stuff, listening to this song 😆 thanks Sam

I would love to hear your reaction to superstar too ❤ so good!

Love your analysis! Yes we all want to be like Usher lol 😆

I love this lesson

Yes, we all want to be like Usher!!!

remarkable review Sir

React to his Superstar performance, it’s sooo good

Great perspective

I love it! This was his 6th number one out of 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. I wonder if he owns all his masters?

Nice one Sam! Love to see you react to Lawrence “Don’t Lose Sight (acoustic)”

This reminds me a little bit of some of Hamilton. Very speech like in some instances, just floating over one or two notes while conveying a story through heavy lyricism. To add to the story telling bit Sam was talking about.

Major nostalgia. This and Nelly’s Shake Ya Tailfeather very much encapsulate 2003-2004 for me 😆

Please, please do Jasmine Sulivan's Tiny Desk, she's AMAZING!

Please react to live climax by usher. That's a hard song to sing!

love dis. hi. hope u are well.

will you check out arabic pop singer Mohammad Abdu live stages? his voice is top tier but i wonder what an analysis for him would be like

It's been a while since you analyzed aurora singing, it would be cool if you analyzed her singing Runaway at Nobel

Would you say that singing is often just acting on pitch?

Hy Sam! Pls consider reacting to Hozier - sweet thing

You should do chloe and halle's tiny desk

Can you react and analyze Leann rimes Blue

i love all of your reactions and your input!! would you please please react to Billie Eilish covering "Fever" by Peggy Lee at the Hollywood Bowl?? 💕💕 love you!

Giveon

I can totally see Usher singing in Hamilton 😂

Isn’t pop a subset of r&b

Can you react to Demi Lovato live performance of her new single “SUBSTANCE” in Jimmy Kimmel? Demi killed it omg. also it’s been so long since you have reacted to her in this channel

I don't generally care about Usher but you managed to make me care about Usher for 15-ish minutes

React to hit video by seventeen

man I wish this dude's guitarist knew more than 2 notes

I'm not really interested in Usher. But your video is very interesting. That's why I watch them all, no matter who the artist is. There is always something to enjoy and learn. 💗

okay hold on, can we talk about how you think rnb is a subset of pop?
