What!?!? First time hearing How To Be Me (live) Ren X Chinchilla Vocal ANALYSIS & Reaction 

This is so awesome! You’re the best!!! Enjoyed myself so much watching this and actually learning stuff I didn’t even know I was doing! Super interesting. Thank you for the support 💓💓😁

Ren seems to be what music needs right now with all the processed music that is being created.Its like back to talent and authenticness

It’s almost like Chinchilla is Ren’s shadow & puppet master at the same time. She echoes but also pulls him around in the emotional echo chamber. Whether they think of these things or not is almost irrelevant as it’s so organic. These two together are like an irresistible punch in the gut.

He has tear streaks at the end, if you look closely. The guy's just a ball of genuine-ness and genius.

This tugs at my heart so much. Ren sounds like he's crying throughout the song and barely holding it together, and Chinchilla sounds like she's feeling that pain. Such a beautiful song.

Better than any live performance you'll see at any music awards.

After watching him work out this song on IG and seeing him cry through most of the versions, I can almost guarantee that hearing it come together with Chinchilla helped with the fry effect. I would never be able to sing this live. My throat closes just singing along with them. This song is the best description of how it feels to lose someone to suicide. My nephew gave up the fight 3 yrs ago and you do forget how to be you, because there is a gapping hole and no way to fill it.

I always play this after Chalk outlines. This was written for a friend that committed suicide,jumped off a bridge and his body has never been found.

I know Ren has mentioned that your work has been helpful to him. So, I thank you for helping to expand his vocal horizons as he has impacted me like no other artist in my 56 years.

Ren and Chinchilla duetting is like watching a couple make the sweetest and most gentle love possible

Made even more profound by the fact that they are recording this on the same bridge that his best friend (Who this song is about). took his own life.

THIS SONG SHOULD WIN A GRAMMY!

The chemistry and mutual respect they have for each other as an artist comes through in everything they do. It’s just incredible.

Ren is the colors and lines of a painting, Chinchilla is the light source within

I've come to think of a nice analogy recently. Ren is one of those artistic masterpieces which underwent total restoration. The layers of veneer and the hardened shell of years of varnish is stripped back. Colour and craft *exactly* how the painter envisioned them, but devastatingly vulnerable. Even his most sincere and dynamic raps have this raw, exposed quality which I've not heard often in my life.

Ren I wish you well in Canada my friend. Only discovered your music this morning but my god it's hot me to the core. I lost my fiancée aged 44 last year and am in so much pain. I heard you play bass guitar too, so when you're back I will gift you her two bass guitars. Stay strong my friend....you've got this. Love from Southampton, UK 🤟🤟

Phillip's wife Susan here. This song helped me a lot last year when I first heard it. I had been feeling lost in myself and the song helped me reconnect with my inner strength and reminded me who I was again.

It was so lovely to hear your appreciation of both Ren and Chinchilla and this beautiful song. It's completely mad that he isn't better known. Thank you for helping to spread the word.

His crying at the end... breaks my heart

Chris, this was a truly WONDERFUL reaction. One that I have learned, watching and experiencing Ren's music in ANY form. EVERYTHING, and I truly mean everything is done by design. He puts so much CARE and EMOTIONS into every single track. Without it, it would be a GOOD song. With it, it's a masterpiece that people FEEL. One that they are VESTED in. A journey, we so EAGERLY go on WITH him. Chinchilla, has an AMAZING voice and THE perfect compliment to him. But, it's their connection that makes their duets something entirely MORE special. His last phrase, was delivered with the PERFECT amount of emotion AND timing. So much so, we end the song EXACTLY where HE wants us to be. Extraordinarily done. More than that, but I can't think of a BIGGER word. Please, oh please continue down this path. He has a MASSIVE amount of music out there. Thank you for this. Your reactions are done with the UTMOST care and RESPECT. I applaud you, for that and much more.

This is at the top of my list of Ren songs. I have been listening to Chinchillas original music as well. The amount of talent between the two of them is incredible ❤

I've never had musicians consistently give me a physical involuntary reaction as consistently as Ren and Chinchilla. They are just incredible and we are all so very lucky that these two found each other in the billions of people roaming this earth.

This song is so beautiful. You should check out some of chinchillas solo songs. She has a live version of her song fingers that's amazing!

Every time I hear this song, I think of how vulnerable his voice sounds. I love this song. Ren is incredible.

I feel like it's so common in duets that either the singers seem to mostly compete or one ends up the backup singer or they just sing different sections, it's rare that you get true harmony and give and take but I think this song could be used as the gold standard for how to do this in such a natural way.

Every time I watch this video, when she does the "mmmm" and cries out, chills run up and down my spin. It expresses her emotions in this song....she's got a beautiful voice ❤

I can't breathe when I listen to this song. Between the lyrics and the haunting vocals. It literally takes my breath away.

Ive probably heard this track like 30 times, both the main version, and from reactors. Yet you brought tears to my eyes the water my first hearing did. Thank you. I love all your reactions and I hope that chinchilla interview happens soon!

This is more of a therapy session than a song. I mean, if you write a song where you try to get into the headspace of your friend on their last fatal night and then choose to perform it on the (i think it is a bridge) where they actually took their own life, then you are doing it for the ritual of it. You do it for closure. And it shows in the emotions.

Great reaction to a fantastic song/performance - I really hope that Ren and Chinchilla see this. I am sure they will appreciate your comments

Chinchilla has also an impressive background in music, if you look her up you will understand. Lots of work she has put and definitely is paying off in her talent, she is one amazing singer ❤️

You should definitely watch them busking together. The chemistry is so pure.

Chris, I knew this one would excite you. Have been loving all your Ren reactions. I’m sure chinchillas live version of Fingers will get you equally animated

С каждым новым видео я влюбляюсь в Рена ещё больше🥹🥹🥹

The reason he wrote this is why it resonates so much too..... true channeled energy. Have you checked out 'Crutch' ft Bibi yet?

Her voice is angelic....

Both of them are clearly amazing as Solo Artists, but what they create together is beyond Magic !

Ren and chinchilla are immense together. Thankyou for such a brilliant breakdown. This version is definitely my favourite

This meeting was meant to be. Chinchilla is coming.

Got goosebumps the first time I heard this at that first rise from Chinchilla...from your reaction at that point, I'm not alone :)

Every song that I hear of Ren's is my favourite, but this track ... this track holds a special place in my heart and I've never been able to articulate why until now. You hit the nail on the head; this is a hymn, a hymn to love and loss and grief, but a hymn nonetheless. Thank you for your wonderful reaction ❤

When these two sing, I forget about everything else. I’ve never been so captivated in my life. It’s an amazing feeling. ❤

The last line where Ren sings about his friend Joe Hughes, wow, really shows how much he misses Joe, even after many years, heartbreaking. Beautiful song from two special artists, great breakdown Chris ❤

Can’t stop watching these. Ren and Chinchilla are both incredible in their own rights but together they have incredible chemistry and just bring it to another emotional level. Chris is so amazing - love his unfiltered emotional reaction and connection to the music coupled with raw technical talent and ability to describe what is happening technically.

I love Ren. I love Chinchilla. Together, I am blown away every single time. Love your reaction as always, thank you!

I never liked the idea of picking favorite songs and favorite performances, especially when an artist has such a diverse catalogue of high-quality work like Ren does. And yet, for several weeks now, "How To Be Me (Live)" has 100% been my favorite song and performance. No, not just by Ren and Chinchilla ... by anybody, anywhere. And Chris, what you did at 12:40 might now be my favorite reactor moment, too ... thanks for your brilliance and your passion!

Crutch by Ren next please 🙏

A great and insightful reaction to a beautiful song.

Imagine how difficult it was for Ren to keep composure through the doll eyes Chinchilla uses to avoid the message he's singing to her. They are both excellent!

Thank you Chinchilla you 2 are So incredibly wonderful together.

I always LOVE watching your reaction video's Chris. Your enthusiasm is so addictive and your break down of what is actually going on vocally is incredibly educational. Such passion for your craft is impossible to fake. You are so attentive to every single nuance. The most wonderful thing about you, though, as a vocal coach is ; even though you explain techniques, your focus seems to be more about expression of the self through the medium of singing, rather than simply striving for a technically wonderful vocal. The emotion HAS to be as important as anything when we are critiquing that which is basically a form of communication. This is the reason why I, personally, have always gravitated to the singer who can convince me he / she means every word, as opposed to someone who merely has a beautiful voice. When we are graced with the two elements in total unity, our very souls are touched so deeply. 🙏 Thank you Chris x

Thank goodness these brilliant singers didn't use pitch correction. They don't need it. Your comments are wonderfull and priceless. Thanks.

What a freaking brilliant REN like reaction. Yes I compared you to ren! I compare maybe two people to our REN, but you two are a perfect match! Keep rocking it! No doubt you are doubting what you were meant to be doing! Congratulations and thank you kind sir!

How incredible is this song!!! I really appreciate your analysis - thank you!

Ren bare his soul with his music which is part of makes so beautiful and emotionally raw

6:10 It was at this point that Chris had an Eargasm on Camera! 😂❤️

Still getting goosebumps and tears in my eyes after all these times watching and listening

damn my guy! you got a set of pipes on you too!

Watching your reactions is pure C₈H₁₁NO₂ for me ❤

This video was absolutely amazing. I love this song and knew it was special but had no real way of truly understanding or explaining why other than it’s just great. Your passion for what you do and for what you were listening to is awe inspiring and contagious, and you explain it so so well. Although I’m not entirely sure what a head voice is 😂

I love your reactions more than some others. You fully understand the creativity behind Ren. So many just here a song with deep lyrics, but it's so much more than that! He has a creative way at telling these stories & makes incredible decisions musicly as well. Someone like you, who understands composition & how incredible his music is, is such a treat. Keep up the good work, thank you for the wonderful reaction!

Re-rewatching ❤️

Thanks so much Chris for reacting to this song! You were obviously touched by the passion in the song! It’s my favorite REN song and he and Chinchilla are so amazing together!

I would SO love to see you react to Chinchilla’s VERO live performance of her song Fingers. It’s absolutely fantastic.

What a reaction! Talk about breaking it down. Ren and Chinchilla are brilliant on their own, but together they are a gift from the gods.

That was a great reaction, thank you!

You can feel his emotion in his voice due to this being about his close friend that took his own life😢 even sad...still amazingly beautiful

Music gold as none before or any to come after. Period.

What I always love every time Ren and Chinchilla collaborate is that they compliment eachother so well... Its not a battle of the voices. When a male and female vocalist duet, a female singing voice can be so powerful that it can drown out the male vocalist... Not with these two gems -or should i say MF Diamonds!!! Ive listened to their music for 3 or 4 yars now and every new release is an instant classic... And I regularly go to Brighton and all my 7 year old son and 3 year old daughter every want to do is go and look for Ren busking!!! 🥰

This is so hauntingly beautiful. So glad I took a trip down the Ren and Chinchilla rabbit hole

Simply the best vocal analysis on the net!!!! Thanks so muchhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! keep doing what you do. Stunning analysis and music.

Everytime I listen to this song, it brings tears into my eyes and chills all over my body. Their performance, their autenticity, the rawness plus the story behind it... It´s amazingly beautiful!

This is the coolest video I've seen in a minute; The song and the analysis. This was the first time I saw someone recognize the vocal psychology and explain it concisely/clearly. None of the reaction videos I've seen seemed to pick up on the emotional intelligence used between the artists as they speak through song. You're quite brilliant and I'm learning so much from you, thank you 🙏💚

So amazing seeing your connection to the music! I came here via the Charasmatic Voice. You respond like her, with kinestetic reactions to performances! Loving it! And yeah, they are that good! 💜💜💜

I absolutely love your channel. I truly have the upmost respect and faith in you as a human being for this reason. Your channel and brand had been based primarily on vocals through song yet you continue to use your platform to celibrate Ren's rap and allow it to shine just as bright as a power ballad and always make it a point to showcase his incredible talent. The world needs more positivity and people like you. He has become important to all of us and seeing large platforms giving his art the love it deserves is beautiful. ❤

Just awesome everything he does, from who he works with, to what he creates

So brilliant to hear your total admiration of this utter masterpiece, not only in songwriting but their performances too. It is completely sublime.

Im totally amazed by there talent so unbelievable plus she is so beautiful

That was amazing. Great vocal analysis ❤❤ What I like is that, this performance was very well engineered yet exuding emotions at the same time. Ren is a smart dude

I found Ren from seeing you reacting to him and got absolutely obsessed with his work. You would love the tales of Jenny, Screeche and Violet and it would be a great react video. It’s an insane display of musicianship and storytelling.

Ren and Chinchilla both could give so many artists a run for their money.

big love from ren army spread da love

Simply......"yes" 😁💯

Great in depth reaction cheers , Ren ,Chinchilla & his friends are all talented and are a beacon of light in these dark days post Covid......

Wow youre amazing. Thank you.

What a voice you have

Loved your reaction to this❤. You absolutely should check out Chinchilla's performance of Fingers live for HungerTV. It is incredible, I was blown away!

beautiful ty

i have seen every reaction from rens masterpieces and must say great job.

I love her “jah” note on Halelujah; it feels like a flat when I’m expecting a nice harmony on the note. But then the third time she sings it, she adds an extra note that goes up before settling on the “jah,” and it’s like it explains it: oh, that’s why you were going there and avoiding resolution…you were just delaying it. :) Thanks for this detailed vocal review of my favorite Ren song. I heard it the first time and was like “this is superlative, isn’t it? What am I missing here?”

Your reaction sure optimizes the value of the performance in perfect blend. Now we have three artists collaborating.

GREAT reaction! The best I’ve seen (by far) to this song. You reacted almost exactly the same way as I did at the “mmmm…….” parts; you felt it as much as I did. Such a beautiful song; I’m so happy you’ve reacted to this. Also happy that you enjoyed it as much as you clearly did. I think it’s my favourite Ren song. Chinchilla is stunning, too! I could listen to her sing forever and not get tired.

This one is my favorite too!

Keep doing what you're doing your great

Ren is currently unmatchable! Really art!

Yes! I have been eagerly awaiting your reaction to this and you did not disappoint. Anyone who hears this can appreciate the beauty of this song. Your musical knowledge and passion allow for a deeper appreciation and I really enjoy seeing that. You at 6:05 is exactly what I'm talkin about. I knew you were going to geek out. Love it. ❤

The eargasims were honestly great! lol

I just found these two a couple of days ago. They are absolutely 💯 beautiful together. I've also watched different reviews. I'd say you give a deeper perspective and I end up appreciating the music even more. Ren and Chinchilla-ya'll are ‼️❕🎯 ‼️❕❗🎯❕‼️

These two harmonize like no other. Take notes Music Industry

This never fails to give me goosebumps 😭 such a stunningly beautiful and intimate performance 😍
