that ✨SPIIIINE✨ tho

i come back to this all the damn time. it’s truly a masterclass of watching how a genius breaks down a song. absolutely brilliant. ugh, i’m obsessed.

Good to see you posting again. It is somehow comforting to know that someone of your caliber that I admire as a performer and coach also has to work hard on songs. So often we see the finished product and we don't see and appreciate the work it takes to make it seem so effortless. I also appreciate how you took Megan Hiltys rendition as a springboard and made it your own, and not a copy. It also makes me appreciate Megans version seeing how much work it is to navigate the intervals and placement in this song. She had no one to guide the way. Thank you for your courage and insight for posting this. It is my hope to get some vocal lessons from you someday, Though Im a Bass/Baritone, this song is so great I would love to try it in a more crooner style.

WOW! I always enjoy watching you videos! It's great to see you pick apart this song piece by piece! There's just soo many options for what style to sing it in! Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Best speech mix in the game!

As a non-singer with zero musical talent, this was fascinating and informative. Megan Hilty’s performance of this song is one of my all-time favorites. Now I understand why! 😂 Thanks!

I love these self coaching videos! We want more!!!

Would love to see a full performance of this by Natalie!!

Omg…this is why I love you! This song has been one of those that I keep pulling out to work on cuz I love it…. But still feel like it’s so heavy/pushed… love these tips on how to find that mix on each of these crazy vowels! You rock Natalie!

That song is wonderful. Megan Hilty's voice is magnificent in it and you absolutely killed it!

I'd love to hear you dissect a song like this with Seth Rudetsky. That would be amazing. Your voice is fabulous, you belong on Broadway!!

Fascinating to watch, and so helpful to those of us who have no training and no clue how to work out a song like this. Thank you!

You have no idea how helpfull this is! Thank you so much for this video!

A freaking star

love love this song! I always thought this was an incredible belting song but didn't know there are so many intricacies in there. Your coaching is so helpful!

This is one of my favorite or it could my favorite video of you. Just because I love that you are coaching yourself. it’s unreal. What a beautiful voice.

LOVE how you explain everything. Im an opera singer And feel I,m cheating on my opera every time I watch your videos😸😸

God i hope this becomes a series, this was one of the most informative things ive ever watched

This is how the song really goes. No one can tell me otherwise!

I just love you Natalie! You are such a treasure.

I LOVE her stamina, support, and range. Her technique is damn near flawless. I’d kill for a vocal lesson or two from her. Natalie if you see this look at my videos of my Miley Cyrus cover and my Christina Aguilera cover. I’d love to hear your feedback!!

Great job; stunning effects; mesmerizing & interesting with intrigue!! ❤️🌹❤️💫CONGRATULATIONS!!🌹❤️🌹🎇👌👍

Awesome! I hope some day my best choices sound even remotely as good as the ones that make you say "ew" about yourself. Lol. I would love to hear more about how you evaluate your choices, though, like what inspires you to make certain choices at certain parts of the song? Is it based on the music development arc? The musical moment? What's happening in the character's head? Or simply what "feels" right? I work with amateur singers a lot, and they often lack the kind of creative inspiration that seems intuitive for you, or maybe they just don't have the confidence to try a bunch of different things and then say "ew" for most and move on?

This is so incredible and helpful. Thanks so much ma.

My musical theatre singing teacher assigned this song to me cause all the previous ones were too easy for me... Damn this one is H.A.R.D 😭😂 When I heard Natalie say "this is one of the top 3 hardest songs to sing" I felt less alone 👀🤣 Killing it as usual ❤️

LOVED this song from Smash!! It’s so fun to sing and play with. I love that you’re breaking it down, Natalie. Hopefully you can slip others in there: Let Me Be Your Star, Don’t Forget, Me, or History Is Made At Night! You have such a gift - vocally, and in how you teach 🙌🏾🎶🎵❤️

Love it!!! This is the actual work behind "singing from the heart"!!! ❤️

Really appreciate every detail you decode…you have such a great love for singing…it’s so great to see…

Beyond !! So appreciate the lesson..extremely helpful.

Oh my God, I just surfed into this video from the Gaten Matazarro video noting her voice. I’m not a singer or anything but her voice is amazing! Wish I could sing like that, wowwww!

Natalie, dahling, you are amazing! You know exactly where everything is placed!! How in the world is a growl done? I have never known how to do it without scraping my cords --- a no no!! :-)

literal genius! you make it make sense🤯

i just LOOOVE your channel. So inspirational

Oh gosh you are so EFFICIENT! MERCi NATALIE 🤍💫

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG! this was my song for the longest time 😭

Amazing, your self-coaching is fascinating & useful! More & more & more please!!!

That was great. I love that song. Thanks so much! Best.

Vocal BEAST

Thank youuuu! I love your natural Marilyn Isms that’s written into the song. You’re a queen

Love these it teaches me so much!

“It might help if you cry” lol

U have such an amazing voice

So helpful, thanks Natalie! 💕

Você é uma cantora e instrutora maravilhosa!!!!!

Love your videos!!!

This is great. Thanks, Natalie

I prefer your belt to your chest voice during the building parts, but your jazzy tones are incredible!

I love how you've picked up some sayings from your students, like 'hello'

I love this!!! Please make moar

OMG I love you & love this! Thank you so much for posting this and for being down to earth, humbled & real! And damn you're talented!! I'm singing this in a Cabaret & this was helpful! This is a frigging marathon of a song to sing & my vocal chords are exhausted by the last verse! I wish I could get some personal coaching from you on how to work on your stamina to get through this song! Do you do Zoom lessons since I'm in Los Angeles?

Un maestro en técnica vocal, que haga esto por favor.

Natalie you will also make an incredible speech pathologist

so incredibly helpful, as always :)

U look so pretty Natalie 😍

That red lip!!

Hey fam!! You did great! I sent a video to get coached by you and you and your team agreed I just don’t have the funds at the moment, but I will be GRATEFUL to be coached by you at least once. Can’t wait for that day! 🙌🏼👌🏽🙏🏼

This is so helpful

Eva Nobelzada makes this song easy listen to her version if you wanna be amazed

I ADORE YOU

Looking great in red

lol this was so fun watching

@4:09 "I'm dressed for Christmas already" - lol - and your nails are green to match the theme!! :0)

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I want the same!

My throat hurts just from listening😰

Reminds me of "Summer in Ohio" from Last 5 years. What would you call this genre/style of song?

Very curious as to what the other 2 most difficult songs are in your opinion

every single time she says ew. SHUSH CHILD YOU ARE AMAZING DON'T EVER SAY EW (we're gonna ignore how I called her child even tho I'm younger than her)

The RESONANCE omg

Natalie will you release new music soon?

drinking game* : drink every time natalie says “choices”

❤️

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This was already great, and then she just had to through in the crazy run on “line!” The audacity☠️

Not judging or anything at all! But as a guy, learning this song in the same key was actually much easier for me than most male theatre songs

When she said ewww 😂💀

The first interval you are over stepping, Megan is singing the interval not as wide as you are

Great walk through of a tricky song! Megan's version is definitive -- but Katharine McPhee has performed it live and some of her interpretation choices - particularly in the second half - are interesting in the context of this video, the lyric flubs aside: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNOIaNiT3NS6hqc.html

Who is the original singer of this song?

I wish i could have learned from this vídeo 9 years ago 😅 lol. Here's my shot at it.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kKyZndeBs8uzh2g.html. Some parts are like l'm just yelling 🙈
