Voice Teachers React to Siti Nurhaliza - Konsert SATU : Medley of Cindai Balqis Nirmala 

As a Singaporean, I admire her alot. Growing up, I admire her character and how high she uphold tradition and moral standings despite being the most popular singer in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia. She is so good that once, she held a concert in Singapore and a Japanese paid as much as SGD $3000 for a VIP seat. Singapore dollar exchanges at S$1.40 per 1 USD approximately. And coincidentally, her concert in Singapore coincides with Mariah Carrey's, but Siti's concert was sold out despite her ticket price being much higher than Mariah's! That speaks volume about how popular she is.

It was my first time listening to this artist, and this style of music... I really liked it. It made me want to understand what she's singing, because the way she does it, it feels like she's telling a story - The structure of the song is very quirky and unpredictable (at least for a layman like me) Very interesting your comments. Her voice is absolutely beautiful.

Traditional malay music is about DEMURE AND GRACEFUL in the lyrics, dancing and most importantly the singing. Jumping one note to another needs to be done gracefully, never jarringly, and everything needs to sound seamless in tonal quality. And our beloved siti always does it perfectly😊

type of musical instrument for traditional malay music :- Membranophone = Kompang, Geduk, Gedombak, Gendang, Rebana, Beduk, Jidur, Mirwas, Nakara, batak, tabla, kercing, tagu, kemplingan Idiophone = Gong, Canang, Kesi, Saron, Angklung, Caklempong, Kecerik, Kempul, Kenong, Mong, Mouth Harp, awar, ghatam, dabo, cerek, manjira, palas, tetawak, luo, keromong, ranat Aerophone = Serunai, seruling buluh (Bamboo Flute), Nafiri, tetuang, selengut, sheng, bungkau, accordian, harmonium. Chordophone = Rebab, Biola, Gambus, tangkungan, ruan, tambura, sarod, sape, sitar, veena technically malay traditional music do not have tuning standards. Usually, the heptatonic (7 pitches) or pentatonic (5 pitches) musical scale is used. Most malay traditional music makes use of variations of these scales. some of malay tradition music /performance genre:- asli (original, traditional), masri (two basic rhythmic accompaniment patterns song with dance n middle east sound), ronggeng, inang and joget (music which typically accompanying social dances) --inang (wet nurse) a stylist dance usually perform for royalty event in past, -- joget (modern malay dance) --ronggeng (tradition dance) both ronggeng n joget usually by commoner or social event like wedding dondang sayang (songs of affection), keroncong (a type of folk music), zapin (music accompanying the zapin dance) ghazal (typically tied to themes of romance sung in poetic quatrains), dikir barat (rhythmic chanting of verses and move), boria (choral with dance move), jikey (musical dance drama/theaterical example makyong dance) mata-kantiga (malay music with portugese influence) bangsawan (opera), kuda kepang(horse dance), hadrah and kompang (traditional repertoire) wayang kulit (musical storytelling using skin) gamelan (music n dance that will company by gamelan instrument) ulik mayang ( old tradition ritual for sea goddess with dance and song) silat ( martial art dance performance company by music) characteristics of traditional Malay music from these various genres include the use of grenek-grenek, which are trill signatures in compositions, and the use of cengkok which is the use of extended melismatic notes (singing a single syllable text and carrying it through multiple notes). each of this type of music have their own characteristic and custom. The lyrics of traditional Malay music are usually set in Malay poetic forms type of lyric usually use in malay tradition song : -prosa =hikayat (tale of popular figure), sejarah (historical), kisah (folk tale), dongeng (type: myth, fable, legend, sage, morale fiction),biography, saga etc in form -pantun (Malay usual cordial banter literary poetic form sentence perform in witty, quick, subtle dialogue manner written mostly in quatrain or couplet similiar verse) -gurindam (old poem) -syair (malay poetry in four line stanza) -sindir (indirect refrence/sarcasm) -kias (analogies) -sajak (poem) seloka (tease) etc and its important to note that malaysia have wide long history of various culture and so many races. the music evolution been thru a lot of stage thru out the history ((revolution: before british colonalism - during british=before world war /after world war - after independent ))so most of musical might be influences and similiar to Hindustani, Arabic, Chinese, Javanese, Portuguese and western music as it all have been fused into Malay music. in shortway to say to sing malay tradition song is not hard but to actually capable carry it perfectly the way that siti does that is a gift and skill. it is important to have lenggok when reciting the lyrics which siti really good at (the 5 scale note in split sec u were saying). and what make siti is such precious she manage to make this type of song as hit song that widely love and popular to everyone. all of this songs is her most popular top song. sorry for long detail.

I won't be surprised if one day Siti' vocal techniques will be a research paper title in the western country

As a native Malay speaker, I can assure you that she’s not singing out of tune. It’ s just her playing with tunes superbly and effortlessly. Let’s just say she’s gifted ;) . Btw, those songs are traditional songs which the new generations dont listen as much now.

Hi Chase and Melia, thanks a lot for this reaction. You guys are my favorite now 😁. To answer your question about how do we learn this type of music, I'm not a musician/singer, but I think most Malay singers can sing this type of music. The difference however, some are better than the others. But Malays in general, we grow up listening to this type of music, so I think it's kind of an innate, in a way. But for Siti, she grew up with a mother who is a traditional singer. Means her exposure to this genre is a bit more compared to the others. And yes, the scale used in Malay traditional singing is similar to that in Indian/Bollywood/middle eastern/arabic music. Probably not a hundred percent but there are some similarities here and there. The second and third song she sings in this video (Balqis and Nirmala) are actually of a genre we in Malaysia called Ethnic Creative. It's a genre where traditional Malay music is combined or has influence of other Asian folk sound and the most commonly used is middle eastern (not sure why we love mixing our sound with middle eastern though😅 ) All the songs she sings here (except the last one) are super famous. Cindai, Balqis and Nirmala are some of her biggest hits actually.

Siti bring back sexyness to Traditional Malay songs. She expressing the lyrics modestly and her movements is polite. Siti Nurhaliza is known for her theatrics in live performances. Her voice itself is like a musical instrument. She has always fascinated and awed people, even to this day. Early in her career, her voice is bright and now more powerful. She has a whole string of hits that she will perform in a medley at her big concerts. She is a natural singer who excels in traditional music. Normally, one would say that she proves the theory of melisma, singing voice, tone, phrasing, dynamics and breathing repeatedly. When she sings, she impresses with her attention to detail, control, and ability to sings and project even the smallest notes. This makes her stand out among Malaysian singers. And yes, traditional Malay music emphasises modest but graceful movements in lyrics, dancing, and most importantly vocal skills. Jumping from one note to the next should be smooth, never abrupt, and everything should sound tonally coherent like a flow of water.

Any Malaysian that are watching this video? Give Chase and Melia lots of ❤️❤️❤️❤️

as a malay myself, we’ve been manipulated by so many people (even among our own citizens) that our culture and our race are not that special and are not worth mentioned by the world to compare with other asians, and we used to it already. So refreshing that both of you put your effort to learn about our music, and it makes sense for me to be proud of our malay tradition, and obviously our music is one of the uniqueness that the malay should keep holding strong. unfortunately, not many young kids nowadays listen to this kind of traditional songs anymore and most probably one day it will be just be played in a local museum. =))

Omggg you guys are so detailed. I bet even Siti doesn’t really know how she sounds vocally, (well her voice is gifted, of course) coz she sings from her heart, enjoy it and it turns out to be great 👍🏻

One of her mentor, the late "Pak Ngah" once told, Siti does not need any music, her voice is already a music..

Fuhh siti punya lenggok, betul2 buat mereka sungguh terpegun dn terpesona dgn kemerduan suara beliau..truly queen..maha suciAllah..membuat malaysia bangga dgn mempamerkn irama traditional..SALUTE datok!

This kind of Malay traditional genre song requires special singing technique , 'lenggok". If 1st time listening, we will be mistaken to Arabic or Hindi rythms. The runs, the diction, the tone. When you listen over and over , you will recognize the unique technique. Not everyone able to master the lenggok Melayu. Siti is of them who master it. Tq for your reaction❤️

Siti Nurhaliza watched this videoooooo toooooo!!!! She posted it in her ig story!!! Waaaahhhh lucky

She's just slay the song like nothing and smile all the time...i was traveling with her song...superb 👍👍👍

Siti Nurhaliza is muslim . Muslim recited AL Quran in Arabic . To recites Al Quran had like key notes to pronounce exactly the words perfectly. If u hear muslim call for prayers @ Adzan u can feel the calm vibrations

I learnt this melismatic traditional malay musical style from Siti herself. Hahaha. She, in turn admitted that she learnt that singing technique from her mother who was a folk singer (Siti has always maintained that she's never had any formal vocal training). So it is very much a technique that we malays pretty much learn by ear. There are many malay singers who can sing in that style too tbh. But Siti has truly mastered that style and combined with her beautiful tone, the end result is just simply put, magical.

If react about siti nurhaliza i will watching many times..because i really adore her. 💜from south korea

i would never thought in my life that i would sit and watch somebody literally discussing the technicality of the voice and instrument for straight 38 minutes, it is mind blowing! wow! it is refreshing to see the westeners view of our malay traditional music. how you break down the tiny little details makes me think outside the box. i never know study of vocal can really go in depth and this is a very refreshing perspective that i gain today. i have so much more respect on vocal studies now and i can see how this can bring so much more knowledge to people when you want to learn music. one of the best 38 minutes of my life and thank you so much for reacting to Siti! i am def intrigued to join your live class now! cant wait!

Look, chase and Meliá were smiling too watching Siti sing! Told ya, it's contagious. LOL 😆 btw, thanks for the reaction. You know what, this reaction video definitely makes me value Malaysian music, or even Siti Nurhaliza more. And you two, you guys are just sooo cool to let us (the non musicians) understand and appreciate music, voice. Thanks 👍💐

Yes, back to a few years ago, radio n tv used to playe malay traditional songs a lot, mostly from Siti as shr released many traditional songs during her prime days. I think local people feel connected to the melody, poetic song because music is personality to every culture to me...and as we have similar culture to indonesia, singapore and brunei, so this music also played n favorited there.... Yes, we have some influence from other cultures like arab too.. Overall yes, we listened to this in our tv n radio...But these days its hard to find new traditional song.

As a Malaysian singer, she had a basic Quran reçital as most Muslims would have...the vowel sounds, vibrato and humming are heavily influenced from our Quran recitals and she has a very good Quranic recitals...please do some research on Taranum based Quran Recitals...

How does she do it so effortlessly? Damn!! And she was smiling the whole time!!!! Love herrrr

Watch Siti Nurhaliza sing CINDAI song in Commonwealth Games 1998 infront of QUEEN ELIZABETH.. She's only 19 years old at that time... Thanks..

All of the music sang by her during her performance in this video have an Arabic influence due to our country's history. Balqis and Nirmala genre of music is called Masri while Cindai is Zapin. Both of these genre of music has an Arabic influence in Malaysia. The traditional singing style that was sang by her we called it as Lenggok Melayu.

Fun facts : Every year there held a competition for the title of the most popular celebrity in Malaysia or as we call it anugerah bintang paling popular (ABPH) every year.....she won that award every year for a lot of year back to back up to the point Siti herself back off from the competition just to give other Malaysian singer a chance to win.... She had the longest winning streak (1996-2001) and won a total of 21 times

NO REASON ANYONE CAN'T SKIP TO HAVE MORE FROM SITI, BECAUSE SHE CAN SING ANY SONG IN PERFECT.

No matter what kind of song siti sing, it will sounds good. She doesn't need music. Music needs her

Siti's 'eee' vowels is the most beautiful & sufficient vowel ever heard in the entire world, it always come with special effects like echoes & 'gemersik'.. gemersik is the feeling of goosebumps when you listen a particular singer's voice..

The first song 'Cindai' is her biggest hit, not only in Malaysia but in Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, and South Thailand. Balqis n Nirmala are also popular in this country

She is a natural born singer. She sings from the heart and she doesn’t have to think about vocal placing or what so ever coz everything comes out naturally and it seems effortlessly.

These songs all almost 20 years ago and yes we still listen to it in the local radio until today not just by the old generation but even the younger one, majority in the southeast Asia know these songs especially Nirmala, it have influence from Arab & India because Malaysia is a trading center in the middle of a trade route between West & East for hundreds of years in Malacca.

I'm Malaysian, and you'd think I'd be so used to listening to music like this, but I still get chills everytime because Siti is legendary.

I'm Indonesian and I heard her since I was kid. She sang many Indonesian song also, and in my mind, every song sing by her become difficult. LOL

This is Malay traditional music/songs. Yes the first 3 songs are chart toppers in popular radio stations during the popular times of this style back in late 90s to 2010. We have lesser songs produced to this genre nowadays. Her latest song of this genre are Anta Permana and 7 Nasihat. Some of her songs are influenced by middle eastern style (song #2 &3) and some of it are from pure Malay style (song #1&4)

Kenang daku dalam doamu paling nmpk melayu die, sedap gile Dato' Sri Siti Nurhaliza nyanyi

This is just a theory I read but heavily canon I think, but traditional microtonal scales like what Siti sang here are mostly influenced from how muslims recite the Quran/Koran in singsongy way, properly known as tarranum. There's no actual, written down music theory was documented behind it, but somehow amidst all the microtones between the full and half step of notes, there is actually some sort of scale to be followed whenever there's a riff or run to be sang. You CAN get out of tune with the microtonal, mellismatic(?) if you're not doing it right. And about the instrumental, I think Chase's experience with Balinese gamelan could also give some insights. Coz if you think abt it, there's no main melody, n no chords actually played. All of the instruments are played rhythmically, different piece playing different, tiny bits of notes and rhythms here and there n they all combined to this ensemble perfectly. Kinda like if you listen to September by Earth, Wind and Fire. There's no actual melody line is played And that kind of instrumental concept like gamelan is heavily used and adapted to most Asian traditional music. N that allows the main instrument, be it flute, sitar, erhu, and even singers, to just go balls nut in their playing and BE the actual, and main song. Putting the focus of the performance on you and your voice mostly. Basically by having minimal to none of melody lines, no chords in the backing instrument like an orchestra would have, opened up so much freedom to BE THE SONG n cut down any rules of tunings or 12key notes or whtever it is in the western style of music. I couldn't explain it any better so yeah here's a half assed explanation I guess haha. Love the reaction and especially that stank faces. That's what you want tbh from ur performance. A professional musician making stank face listening to you. 🤣

Hi Chase and Melia…this is my second time watching your reaction, and on Siti Nurhaliza again. I like how you both do it, dissecting, explaining and exploring her style, her voice. I only listen to songs and what I like, I’ll enjoy, that’s about it. But listening to you two is like attending a workshop on artistic styles, etc, and I understand a little bit more about the appeal of Siti. The songs were a mixture of spiritual and traditional songs, the one with the moon in the background is a love song, if I’m not too far wrong. The Middle Eastern influence is quite obvious in some of the songs. Once again, great work you guys, i watch other reactors too but they don’t get into technicalities, so this has been very educational for me. One thing I’d like to add is that Siti is truly gifted, I’m actually not sure if she had formal training musically since first breaking into the entertainment scene as a 16yo schoolgirl. Cheers, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I may looks silly, but when Siti is smiling my face also follow her steps 😂 I can't stop from smiling too and this is really good for exercising my face muscles ❤✨

vocal-wise, Siti Nurhaliza never fail to give me the ultimate EARGASM

Oh my god!!!! Malaysia Number one singer again!!!! I can't wait!!!!

Whoever watch Siti Nurhaliza performance will smile when see she smile

She's not just a Diva in Malaysia but also in Indonesia! We love her! 😍😍 and we also have that similar style of singing just like "lenggok" in singing Melayu songs, it's called "cengkok" here in singing Dangdut (our traditional music) songs 😁

Shes our Malay Barbie!! Beautiful, can sing & dance, modesty and courteous!!

This is favourite malaysian traditional song forever and ever

if those song are in music competition here in malaysia, it would be in ethnic/traditional music category. not a pop or malaysian ballad. usually theatrical in performance with dances and cool costumes. i rarely listen to radio now so i wouldnt know what music they play. this song was in the 90s/00s and it was played in the radio. i cant tell what instrument they use but it usually include string, accordion, bongo, etc.

As a malaysian, we call her The Queen over here. She is just *chef’s kiss* + malay medleys are just so beautiful to hear and her voice just fits well

It was a traditional songs from Malaysia, not been played too often in radio. Only few singers in Malaysia singing this genre, and they not doing too well if got to sing other genre. But Siti is the most versatile singer, traditional, balade, pop, she can sings anything. That’s why she’s our no 1 singer up until today . A legendary

Key change is a diff song. She sings it exactly like the studio version. There is a saying in this country. Everytime she sings live is like she eats the cassete, its so accurate

Aku cukup suka dorang senyum tengok siti senyum... Hahah..

This is Malay traditional music. This is the beauty of our music culture. Yes, we listen to this kind of music until now. And Siti Nurhaliza no doubt will always be our number 1 Singer. No one can replace her. Not even the younger generation. They are far from her level.

To answer your question, the songs she sang are called Malay classic songs. More like songs from our mom's generation. But it was our identity of Malays. So people still listen to these, just not on a regular basis. Siti also has been singing more updated pop songs to suit the current generation, but she has been known as someone who sang classical Malay songs. Malaysia is a multicultural country. We have malay, chinese and indians as our main races so it was not weird for our songs to have musical influence from China or India.

At 20:31, I know you guys must be thinking that she was out of tune, but I assure you she's not. It was a singing style called "dangdut", a classical singing style famous in Indonesia. She was just varying her style of singing so that the audience is always kept captivated by the performance. But I understand it's a new thing for foreigner to listen to and I think I should let you guys know that.

This is my new favorite reaction from you guys. I love the smiles on your faces, especially Melia’s.

These are medley songs from her discography. The songs did charted and played on the radio during its prime time.

I love this reaction! As a non musical i love how you guys describe all these technicalities in our traditional music. Fyi, not all Malaysian pop singers can pull off this genre beautifully like this.

This is her song. It's not a folk songs. But it's hers.

I grew up listening to Siti Nurhaliza and learnt a bit of gamelan for school performance. Your reaction videos on Siti Nurhaliza made me appreciate her voice more. Maybe changed my entire idea of human voice. So amazed by voice and the concept of scales in Music. Also makes me curious about music, linguistic and culture!

Song titles 1- Cindai 2- Balqis 3- Nirmala 4- Bulan yang mesra

It's 12 midnight here. And I just finished watching this reaction. I'm on cloud nine, seriouslyyy

We want moreee!!!!!! Siti nurhaliza the best!!

She singing...sounds like angel when it comes to our Malaysian Traditional Instruments. Beside honoured by our loyal kings.She also Malaysia songsbird,Malaysia sweetheart. That is why Dato Sri Siti Nurhaliza ... she is still the no.1 singer in Malaysia. She is our pride .. Gem of Malaysia. When it comes to sing our traditional Malay's ..she will make us nailed when we heard. Everyone in Malaysia will love her voice.She is living legend since 1996 until now.You can search at wikipedia ..she is the one and only Malaysian's singer that have won so many awards, competitions ,great achievements either inside or outside our country. (The Malaysia Book of Records: Most Awards Won Artiste)

trust me, i am malaysian and its hard to sing like her. shes truly amazing

The lyrics goes "Sesungguhnya berkasihlah diantara manusia. Perindah segala kata-kata. Bahagia itu janjiNya" Meaning: Spread loves in humanity. Talk wisely (never hurt someone with your words). That's a promise on how to be happy 💜

Hi Chase and Melia. I can see that u arevery interested in the different tones, pitches and waves of how Siti sings her songs here. This medley is all about traditional musics. In Malay music, the base of all traditional music evolves around Syair. U might wanna look it up, theres tons of videos on Syair and Syair, in history, came from Persia. :) Syair is poetic messages thats delivered in music. Traditional syair is not accompanied with any instruments. Just by singers singing technique with the use of tones and pitches.

I loooooove the intelligent discussion and the knowledge i gain from your channel. Xoxo from Malaysia.

I have to say this: Both of you keep on smiling while watching her!! Cute!! I am smiling as well while watching both of you smiling at her when she was smiling while singing! Haha.. the power of smiles😍🥰🤗

It's amazing how you two were smiling and nodding while enjoying throughout her performance on stage, and we are talking about her live performance. She is just the only singer who never fades out regardless of time. In our country Malaysia, she is the hugest artist, but surprisingly, it is not an overstatement that she represents our country, our culture, and our people whenever she sings outside the country. It's just remarkable how she sustains her status and supremacy in this entertainment industry since her debut in 1996. I hope you two would continue reacting to her songs and performances in the future.

Siti never fail to make us smile when we see her singing with smile 😍😍 both of you did smile too 😁😊

Your reaction was so informative. Usually, I will just skip to this kind of videos but yours make me stick to it and watch it till the end. Thank you guys (and gal) 😊😉

This video definitely will reach 1M views.

The more you see her the more you love her. That's siti magic.

She always gives me goosebumps everytime i listen to her singing her old songs. Dont you agree?

I think we have given Siti Nurhaliza too many rest. Let's make her compete again and raise our music level. Missing those days and feeling.

Muhammad..terima kasih tauuu.. sponsor video niii.. Video yg disponsor pn meletoppp2 bestt

This is Malaysian traditional music... I hope you guys like it

imagine if u both in the real studio konsert watching her singing u will under her spell totally!! because we hear through this video the sound its so amazing😍

Malay traditional song is a genre on its own, telling stories and advice, written beautifully like a poem. This does not have to do with her singing but i feel it would be fun to share with you, this one song from Siti Nurhaliza called Kurik Kundi (she sang parts of the same song in different Malaysian dialects) and in her chorus she sang “kalau tinggi untung jadi bintang, kalau rendah masih jadi intan” which translate to “if one is noble then the stars would be its equal, if one is humble then diamonds he shall be” and i think it’s a beautiful reminder, that even when you feel you’re not as high above and shining like a star, you’re still a shining diamond where you are now. I hope you find more joy in watching Siti’s performances after knowing her lyrics are also beautifully written. Much love to you both!

Everyone will be automatically smiling if watch siti

Siti nurhaliza sing always with smile 💝🥰🇲🇾💖🇺🇲 tq chase and melia your reaction make me smile too🥳✌

we grew up listening to Siti Nurhaliza. but watching u guys reaction make us appreciate & love her even more 🥰🥰🥰

( Traditional Song)... By the way the title Dato Sri, given by our King Of Malaysia as a honoured to her...She is No.1 Malaysian Singer...and in 2005, she win Voice Of Asian...

she make u smile when u watch her singing.. even both of you.. :)

i give like before start 😁😁 because siti nurhaliza

I’m not gonna comment something else.. but all of her song is “ Masterpiece “ We all Malays growing up with this kind of song , start from we all in the baby cradle 🥰🥰 ..this is what we call traditional music

siti nurhaliza has been a legend for almost 3 close to 4 generations already, old and young knows who she is or at least her songs here in east asia. especially malay countries because her songs appear almost everywhere, in dramas and all kinds of celebrations

Traditional music in Malaysia and in many parts of Asia is usually passed on through oral tradition. I mentioned in another comment on your first Siti Nurhaliza reaction video that traditional Malay music can be heavily infused with Arabic and Indian music elements such as rhythm patterns and modes/scales - her melismas are very much built on those flavours. So her melisma licks are not off tune, it's part of the cultural style. Think minuscule passing notes to get the main notes. Dato' Siti has definitely mastered the techniques that bring out the best in Malay vocal music. The Malay language consists of glottal sounds as well so she definitely uses that as part of her stylistic expression. These songs are built upon traditional Malay music elements and style but given a modern take, which explains the modern conventional instruments. In the past, these songs would have been played on traditional instruments.

The second song Siti sing is traditional Malay song . The lyrics cannot be understand just by translate the word by word because the lyrics itself is like a poem...for example: 'Bulan yang mesra menyapaku'.. if you directly translate mean 'the friendly moon say hello'...It's actually describing the feeling of looking at the moon. That is another art of traditional Malay song.

Our traditional music sounds derived from the purpose of storytelling. Back then, elders tell stories through melodic, rythmical recitation, to attract listeners while telling the stories/messages. Thats why when u said these sounds "commutes" more. Also, people back then uses lots of poetry in their daily conversation and Lots of our traditional songs uses poetic languages including Siti's songs. very unlike the daily language we use today. Just imagine Shakespearean poetry being sung/ recited melodically (to fit ur context). So that adds to the beauty of our traditional music. The melisme youre talking about, it reminds me of Quran recitation. Since we have islamic culture, Quran recitation is beautiful and you will often hear those melisme flips. I suggest try listening to it just for reference and comparison. Also yes, it makes sense if this reminds u of bollywood. Historically speaking, we have influences from india, arabs, china and more from asian continents. Siti is legendary! She can sing anything, any genre. Born talented and improved to be the professional singer she is. Hope to see more reaction of our beloved siti! 💜

Love her voice, her singing and the music. Great musical commentary guys.

Lot of love for Datuk Siti Nurhaliza.. love from Indonesia 🇮🇩

27:46 we called it “lenggok” and the way you pronounce it like lay-ng-gok. Its known in Malaysian’s style of singing. Usually you will hear it in traditional Malaysian music. And that is what Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza known for💜 Love your reaction so much!!!🌹

Lenggok singing style has similiarity to Quran recitation with taranum ( with melody) .

Yes this is a medley of iconic songs by her. These songs make her popular in Malaysia and Indonesia.

This type of music definitely have a lot of Indian & Arabic influence. Malaysia was once a hindu majority country and have large Indian influence, wasnt until the 12th century that the arabs trade a lot here and slowly the population converted to Islam and started to impart their culture. If u listen to it carefully, some part of the song sounds bollywood, some part sounds like Arabic. The dancing is definitely Arabic influence, its similar to belly dancing that originates in the middle east. Also this is all her original songs. The reason why she was so huge is that she hits every single market in Malaysia. She sings pop for the younger generation, adult contemporary for middle age and traditional music for the older generation (even my late grandfather was a fan of her). Plus she has a very classy but humble personality and definitely helps that she is beautiful. Its like the total package. She sold close to 6 million albums, which is unheard of for many local artist in Malaysia and definitely for sure nobody can come close to her. She is like the Michael Jackson of Malaysia, she was that huge.

I love Siti nurhaliza.. besides her beautiful voice, she has good character and personality.. no gossip or scandal at all.. until she got married.. great women! ❤ love from singapore!!

As a singer hobbyist myself her microtones were never out of tune. The beat and melody resonate is controlled at the epiglotis. Melia mentioned Bollywood. The songs are based mainly middle eastern
