The breath in the middle of “happen” is rhythmic... It mirrors the pattern in the first verse.

In fact She is Moroccan/Canadian ... And in other performances you can heare her quick vibrato and an orientale vibes :) She is a great mix of influences and have an incredible voice !

The “yodely thing” is common in Arabic and other Eastern music ...

There are no vocal rules for Faouzia, she does her own thing and that’s what makes her so special. It’s that Moroccan influence. How about reacting to another Canadian, Lara Fabian (je suis malade) Although she’s originally from Belgium, she lives in Canada.

I’m sorry, but I feel that because he doesn’t truly know much about Faouzia and her background, he can’t fully appreciate everything she’s put into this song, from being a pianist herself and writing the chords to adding her own cultural background to the style. And, yes... those notes ARE HIGH, and her abilities should be acknowledged instead of being put in an average light like he did. She’s extraordinary and everyone should know it.

Never had vocal coaches, she is self taught and it’s so amazing

Please react to her song 'This Mountain' acoustic version! Her vocals are absolutely brilliant!

The only time I listen to pop music is when someone is reacting to it, and that is pretty literally and universally true. Or when Dimash is singing, as he can do anything and it sounds absolutely stellar. I think that of all musical styles, it basically represents the dregs.... However, this woman, like Dimash, gets a pass from me - not meaning that I pass on her skills, quite the opposite. Composition, stellar. Performance, also stellar. She can do whatever she likes and I'm going to be interested, attentive and appreciative. I loved the breath in the middle of "happens." I suspect she did it as a "mistake" the first time but realized that it adds something special to the song and therefore kept it. Do break the rules when it serves a good musical / communicative purpose. I also loved that strange piano chord. So awesome. And the unresolved nature of the ending - another stroke of genius. She takes a genre that I dislike and renders it into something I do like (this particular example of it, anyway) very much for many reasons. Well done!

Great reaction!! You can also check her "You don't even know me, Stripped version", "How it all works out, Stripped version" and "This mountain, acoustic version"!

Faouzia is a 20yo Moroccan -Canadian (?) She never took any vocal lesson she writes her songs by herself she's a multi-instrumentalist (violin, guitare and piano ) she speaks 3 languages fluently (english, arabic and french) and she still following her engineer studies She did a song (BATTLE) with David guetta on his ICONIC album 7 when she was 17 She made a song with a famous french rapper called Ninho for his album, the song (MONEY) went platinium She sang ( I FLY) featuring Galantis for the film SCOOB She also sang with Kelly Clarkson the arab version of (I DARE YOU) She made a song (MINEFIELDS) with the one and only JOHN LEGEND She also droped out an EP of all her stripped songs .. it's amazingly wonderful and mind-blowing.

I've heard 2 versions of the song and she repeats this inspiration in the middle of "Happen" which suggests that it's not a mistake, but the song is written that way.

the "ha....pen" is intentional. no?

Please react to HOW IT ALL WORKS OUT (stripped and not the live version) by Faouzia Or to her singing DESERT ROSE live

All self taught, no teaching, she's amazing

She’s Moroccan living in Canada

I spent a year in Morocco. I went to a lot of gigs and noticed a lot North African singers have that slight yodel like vibrato.

I’m glad you enjoyed her. Please watch her rendition of “how it all works out”, as well as the first song I saw by her, “this mountain”. All of her stripped versions are the ones worth watching.

I've been listening to her for a couple years now, after hearing her on TikTok & sing "Born without a Heart"....her voice is amazing & very unique. Love that she writes her own music & her lyrics are as powerful as her voice!

You gave me a shout out! Thank you! Awesome, I’m very proud to support your channel. Thank you for noticing I was here from the beginning!

You have to wtach more of her. She is amazing and writes all of her songs herself.

i LOVE her love notes. kinda refreshing.

She is amazing! Plays piano,violin etc also ! the breath is PART of the song dear!

She sings Desert Rose by Sting.... SO GOOOOOOOOD please react to it 🌹

first time watching u, u got urself a new subscriber u’re real funny

as musician you should know in Arabic music we do have a 3/4 note!

I love all her songs, it's rare that someone can nail all their songs. You can't go wrong with reacting to her music. I grew up being a big fan of Lara Fabian because she's a powerful singer and storyteller, I find Faouzia does that as well. If you don't know of Loïc Nottet he's another powerhouse, brilliant songwriter, stunning dancer and storyteller. I've recently discovered Typh Barrow also Belgium like Loïc and Lara (though Lara associates herself as also Italian and Canadian). Loïc Million eyes is a good one to check out, impressive dancing in the video, and i love Hurt from Typh Barrow. She's got Amy Winehouse tones.

Haven’t watched yet! I legit just posted on a comment yesterday saying please react to her !!! Yessssss!

Man, this react gave me some good laughs. Love Fouzia.

i rlly recommend "Born Without A Heart" the official stripped version, and "Elon", the song after the credits in this concert... they're absolutely amazing. Also, there's a full cover of her as a 13 yr old singing "Say Something", u won't believe that she sounds exactly the same. the woman's a genius

She’s one ☝🏽 of the Greater Artists who you’ve Reacted to. I absolutely loved her melodic resonance in her vocals. Thanks for posting this and sharing your comments and support. I would encourage you to review more of Roberta Battaglia singing 🎤 Italian with her father at 9’ years old. Another Awesome Singer Zhou Zhen from China 🇨🇳..his cover of an several characters from a Anime Game..is shocking but Fantastic. Great Reaction. Stay Safe and Positive. 🙋🏻‍♀️🔍❤️🎶🌟🗺

She writes all her song, lmao she clearly said at the beginning she wrote that song during last summer.

I don’t know how I missed this, but I’m gonna watch this.

She is not canadian, she is moroccan, she just grew up there ! That's Why she has such a middle eastean riffs and runs

Ken, loved the video! Quick tip to help you scroll back the video, use the left arrow on your keyboard (it will rewind 5 secs) hit it twice for 10 secs and so on... space bar to pause and play. Hope it helps. :)

I really recommend you listen to the stripped version, so pure! You might also want to check Minefields, a collaboration between Faouzia and John Legend

Great reaction!!! Do "Born without a heart" and "bad dreams" next please! Both stripped versions 😄

loved the reaction!! please react to more by faouzia she never had any vocal training and btw it’s pronounced as f-oh-zee-uh

Faouzia is SO good! You should react to more of her songs!! You Don’t Even Know Me is quite good as well as Bad Dreams and she even sings with John Legend a song called Minefields. The first 2 I’d listen to the stripped versions with her playing the piano, they are SO SO good! Enjoy!😁

You should definitely check out her song Elon from the same live concert

Ok, as a fellow Canadian, I find you totally hilarious 😂. Foauzia lives in Carman, MB which is a little town south of Winnipeg, not far from where I live.

She is a super talented singer. Love the lower powerful voice. You should definitely do a reaction to Matt Corby’s ‘Brother’ (the live, like a version video). It’s his original song. I honestly think he is in the top 3 most talented male singers in the word right now. And you won’t be disappointed. He also does a great cover of Tina arena’s ‘chains’ and the live cathedral version of his song ‘miracle love’ is also astounding.

I think in her original version she sings the bridge with her power voice!

She certainly has a set of pipes! Great reaction sir! BTW, there's a new song by Geoff Castelluci....old song made famous years ago, Sixteen Tons. Very impressive.

YEEESSS thank u for reacting to faouzia, you should react to ELON also from this concert, is her best performance ever in my opinion, i think you´re gonna love it :)

Been watching all your metal reacts haha. Started with your reaction to Demolisher by Slaughter to Prevail. So entertaining.

I love when we get another true contralto, like when Diana Ankudinova popped on to The Voice Russia, I think. So few true contralto’s left in the world in popular music. Please check out ANY of Diana’s live performances. Haunting, stunning, and such range.

Easily one of the best vocalists I discovered last year. You should listen to more of her, live or stripped versions are great. If you check out some of her tik tok stuff, she does insane runs that will blow your mind.

She is Moroccan and only lives in Canada 😘

HAAA! Ken, this is just the most entertaining reaction video ever. This is also my first time seeing/hearing Faouzia. She did absolutely nothing that you would anticipate or predict and had us both confused. You were great - like funny great. The look on your face trying to analyze things she did that were completely abnormal was epic. Sheer confusion. You did a great job - really, 'cause nothing about this girl is ordinary - nothing. Cheers.

Yeaah, that's is a yodel !She is also part Arabic and she can whistle-tones, you must see her Tik-Tok page, she is 21 and she had an impresive body of work done in music she also studiedmusic.OMG

Please react to how it all works out stripped version

thanks for the reaction!! i enjoyed it so much!! react to bad dreams by her

Please react to her song "Bad Dreams." It really displays her range and she wrote it when she was 14 years old!!

Yeah her singing is everything but she also looks like a godess I can't take it how gorgeous she is 🙀🙀🙀

She is an engineering student.. this is a side gig.. amazing

Recently found another younger singer very popular on Tik Tok that goes by JADA. She has a middle eastern background and an awesome yodel. Very pristine vocals. Suggest checking out her a capella rendition of River Lullaby from the Prince of Egypt. Jan 2 2021. Singing in a museum? Beautiful.

This wasnt even her best performance of this song... In my opinion. She kinda held back a bit, but its still a great showcase of her talent. However, you're barely scratching the surface! Cant wait to see more!

I love her 😢❤

Omg watch her other songs!! All stripped. Shes my favorite singer!!

Please do more reactions to Faouzia

Hi! Hey, I searched a bit on your youtube page, I think you've never made a video on the Seether group! It would be cool if you did it, either on The Gift (Live) or the Truth (Live) or whatever you want! thank you and continue to entertain us! I think your channel is super cool! Good Job!

React to little mix - secret love song on the search!!!!! Amazing vocals!

she's originally from middle east "Morocco" and the way she sing is a mix between east or Arabic music and west type of music, its like she put an Arabic touch there some how … in my opinion that's so unusual and beautiful and i like your reaction you so awesome . and I recommend you to look at more Arabian singers who sing in English , you will find something close to that yodel thing

Yes she wrote and made the whole thing

Love the reaction, always enjoy it!Didn't know about her but I absolutely likebit. Please consider reacting to Geoff Castelluccis new cover: "sixteen tons" it's my fav by him so far

She’s Moroccan grew up in Canada

Please react to Faouzia's cover of blue da ba dee da ba da!! It is soooo amazing! You will be hypnotized!! Love what you are doing! Greetings from Belgium!!

she is Moroccan living in Canada

I loved her Desert Rose

Yay! Faouzia

her breath is music too so it's ok 😍

Faouzia's a very good song writer/ singer. How do I know this, because Daneliya Tuleshova has covered this song twice and the song still remains Faouzia's. That rarely happens when Daneliya sings a song. Daneliya covered this song first in a truncated version because it was her audition for AGT 2020. After that she covered it again as a more full-length song that is the one you react to because it is most like the original. Daneliya has a lot of similar vocal characteristics as Faouzia those low and dark tones. I think it would be fun for them to share a song Faouzia at 20 is only 6 years older than Daneliya, but Daneliya has as big a voice as Faouzia's. I wish you would give Daneliya a chance. Daneliya is a 14 year old singer from Kazakhstan. If you react to her I can give you more information. Faouzia actually plays three instruments maybe four. Keys, Violin, Guitar and Flute too. I am guessing on the last one but I think I read that some where. Faouzia got a big bump from Daneliya singing her song at Daneliya's audition as Danya soon became the audience favorite. She won all the weekly polls done by Talent Search and Billboard had couple as well. She did very well until that Twilight Zone of who actually votes for the finals eliminated her after her first finals song. She later won the award for best new artist across all the Got Talent Platforms world-wide. I had never heard of Faouzia before Daneliya sang her song. Faouzia said she was shaking through the whole audition because she couldn't believe it. Everybody but Heidi liked Daneliya's audition. She never really warmed up to Daneliya. No matter what she said there was no conviction in her words. I have listened to a lot of Faouzia since then, she even got a duet gig with John Legend out of it. So Please give Danya a chance. Use this song her 2nd one not the audition version. Thanks.

As always, love your videos, I'd love to see you react to Broken Pieces by Andy Black. An absolutely beautiful live performance

She is Moroccan They speak Arabic That's where she gets the odor in sound. It's like Shakira. Shakira is half Lebanese Which is also Arabic

u shld check out desert rose live but not the abu dhabi one. I’m referring to the more recent desert rose cover with blue background. the runs there r crazy

That breth @in between words... in between a word@ is in every version i have heard so i know its a rythm breath. But i can see how he think she run out of breath. He dont know her uniqe style. I like him.

She's Moroccan ! And 100% moroccan born in casablanca morocco from moroccan parents ! She just lived in canada even her she always says that she's 100% moroccan

Bad Dreams Born without Heart How all It works out You don't even know me

This amazing young woman is from Carmen MB

Yes she writes all her songs

She’s Moroccan 💯 🇲🇦

Unfortunately for me she sounds like so many talented younger singers out there. Rounded diction, phrasing and they usually don't speak like that. But hopefully with some singing maturity this will change and she will stand out for her own uniqueness. Nice to see some Winterpeg talent being shared. Edit: Just watched the Jan 28 2021 Minefields video with Faouzia and John Legend. It's beautiful and she is so captivating to both listen to and observe how she emotionally expresses the song's story.

She is actually from Casablanca, Morocco. Their main language is Arabic.

That breath on happen was intentional....😂

First attempt at 6:42 was ‘spot on!’ ツ

Not so much a yodel, more a middle eastern trill

You should really check out Greg Pucciato some time. He's mainly known for harsh vocals, but he's got amazing range. One of Us Is the Killer would be a great place to start

"HoLy ShNicKeyS" - Ken Lavigne - 2 feb 2021

She‘s amazing ✌🏻😍

🔥🔥👍👍👍👍

Can you please react to Rammstein „Deutschland“ the Official Video, it is incredibly well made and shows many parts of the german history and to their live performance of „Du Hast“ in Paris as well as the live performance of „Mein Teil“ in my opinion these are their best live performances

WE NEED MORE MORISSETTE AMON REACTIONS PLEASE, WE MISS IT 🥺💔

Try out The Rumjacks - The Pot and kettle. U might like them.

hey you can react again to halocence, but this time toxicity or Aerials from system of down please

Please react to "This Mountain" (stripped) and "Blue" (Eiffel 65 cover) by Faouzia! :)

I feel like the song is left "unresolved" as you say because most of those relationships are left unresolved. You just have to walk away or keep the cycle going

She put that chord in ;)

Recommended "how it all works out" "you dont even know me" all stripped

Spiritbox, Rule of Nines, Studio vocal one take? Please?
