His dad was an opera singer! He actually lost this competition and people were outraged. This was the beginning of his long career.

That performance and that scenario are almost mythical for a lot of Mexicans and Latin Americans, like The Beatles rooftop concert, so this was not any performance, this was THE place where he became a legend.

This song was written on a plane as the writer was heading to his mother's funeral.

His father was an opera singer who banned popular music from the household, so José José grew up listening only to operatic vocalizers; and that reflects not only on his breathing technique but on his overall singing technique.

The Prince of the Song! Frank Sinatra loved this guy and wanted to perform with him. Unfortunately, record labels got in the way. Loved your reaction and anlysis! In Latin America he is regarded as one of the best singers of all time. Check out Amar y querer! It shows his breath control even more and the lyrics of that song are really touching. one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

His dad a Tenor, his mother a concert pianist...One of Mexico’s greatest singers. R.I.P. Jose Jose 🇲🇽 💥

If you don’t understand the lyrics you’re missing a lot from this piece of art which has a lot of emotions, you can tell he is really connected to the song

As a Mexican whenever i see a foreigner reacting to jose Jose and loving it and praising his voice it makes me happy to know that music doesn't have barriers at all and can be enjoyed by anyone 🔥🔥🔥

He died this past year :( He lost his voice to alcohol. It was tragic. But we loved him anyway. >His songs live on through generations.

I had the Pleasure of attending 4 of his Concerts and to this day can't think of anyone who comes close to his range. A Sad life but a very impacting performer.

I already left my very positive comment about your analysis but I forgot to mention that the camera focused for a moment on a singer in the audience, Marco Antonio Muñiz a wonderful singer in his own right, who appeared to be in awe and almost in shock as he watched and listened to Jose Jose. Thanks again. You are excellent

Hello, I have never heard someone sing that well! I have heard music in 5 languages. He is great! God Bless!

This song is a very melancholic song, the lyrics say that he is the "sadden one" so he is singing it as almost a sorrow in his voice, and the interesting part of this specific song/video is that it was an original and was sang for the very first time. In latinoamerica he is known as the prince of the song, the first artist in latinoamerica (as far as i know) to have a whole disk in the number one at the same time, the whole production.....

A singing legend on Latin Americas .I'm 42 and will listen to his music till the day I die. It was an honor to be born in his lifetime . Gracias gran senor maestro de la musica

Is a dramatic song with dramatic lyrics, and he made a perfect interpretation.

Best mexican singer ever RIP Jose Romulo Sosa (Jose Jose) great analysis Angel thanks!!!

One of the best singers of all time. José José is a true artist 👏👏👏

Jose Jose is absolutely the best especially in studio records. His ballads are impeccable, I love this guy ,growing up in the 🇩🇴 I heard the best of the of his contemporaries and was a stand out in my young ears.

This song gives me chills every time I hear it ❤️

Many experts have given their opinions about José José, but you are the best, you have given your opinion step by step and it is clear that you are a critic who does know what she is talking about. A standing ovatión for you.

Hermosa reaccion al principe de la cancion. El mejor cantante de musica romantica de america latina que ha dado mexico para el mundo. Podras reaccionar a mas canciones de el? no te vas arrepentir, porque tiene un gran repertorio que los hiso exitos. Felicidades hermosa👍

José José THE greatest latinamerican singer along with Luis Miguel and Juan Gabriel!!!! Frank Sinatra admired him.

He created a master piece with this Roberto Cantoral anthem. (Composer of worldwide covered “El Reloj” BTW). When you combine his singing with the original and powerful message of the lyrics an amazing mix of feelings grows in the audience. Nobody remembers the winner of that festival, everybody remembers this performance until now! Saludos! 😄👊

Thanks for the reaction! Jose Jose was one of the greatest Mexican singers of all time

La mejor reacción a esta fabulosa y hermosa canción👍👍

Jorge Negrete - Yo Soy Mexicano. Or anything by Jorge Negrete, he is classically trained in Opera but switched to folk Mexican music midway through his career. Would love to hear your take

Thanks for your reaction and analysis! He is truly a legend in the Spanish speaking world.

You need to check lyrics, vibrato is just for sentimental, emotion and dramatic tone, he's always singing about sadness, as if he's going to die by it. He is telling an story, about him dying because she isn't there anymore, in another phrase he is telling "her" that everyone tells him about how sad he looks, and he in his mind answer them "don't they know, everytime he reminisce about her, that's the way he could go thru".

His father was a opera singer, His name was José Sosa

Hi Angel, thank you for reacting to this world class performer, José José has been one of the most talented, gifted and beloved singers in latinamerica, please do more of him and Luis Miguel, also you should react to Juan Gabriel

Woww your breakdown of the song was AMAZING!! the best I’ve seen...and you seem like such a humble and down to earth person 😍😍 You just won a subscriber for lifee

A golden voice. So emotional, I loved it. Keep the videos coming, they're great 😊

That ending vibrato that you said it's for colour, it's used to simulate sadness and a little of a crying voice. At least it's my opinion, hearing the lyrics along the voice it's really important in order to feel it.

Please react to Juan Gabriel ( Hasta que te conoci ) live from Bellas Artes

I'm Cuban and I have loved Jose Jose since I was a child. Now as I am one of the millions of Dears of Dimash it seems that the memories of my childhood have made me dream a couple of times with him singing "El triste". I wish Super Dimash sings this song some day in Spanish of course, 'cause is one of my favorites of all times, it could sound perfect in his voice.

Hola amiguita gracias por reacionar a jose jose

I can recall several times when me and my drunk homies were attempting to sing along to this legendary tune. Some were too drunk, some were too sad to finish the song. Great memories and absolute highlights from those parties.

Well done. I watch a lot of videos from voice teachers and yours definitely have their own touch and unique perspective. And your smile is like sunshine

Hells yes,!!! Real music

Can you react to another one of his songs, called Almohada. You’ll love it.

I love José José.. Since I was a little girl I loved his music and his voice.. Pleaae check the song "Preso", it's a beautiful song. ❤

José José por siempre yo lo escucho desde la primaria y tengo 15 años .. ❤️

Un orgullo MEXICANO. Reacciona LA NAVE DEL OLVIDO de José José. Saludos desde Monterrey nuevo León México.

This song was performed live and he won 3rd place, and he sang this song before it was recorded. His father was an opera singer and his mother a pianist, besides the techniques used in his performance, that's half of the magic of this song, the lyrics have the other credit, the words and the way he transmits the sadness of the events make it truly unique and special. The song is often assimilated to the sadness after a break up between two people who were deeply in love, however the composer wrote this song a few days after his mother passed away, so the song has double meaning with reference when you lose a loved one. The composer had a choice between Jose Jose and another female singer to perform this song at the 2nd OTI festival in Viña Del Mar (Chile), luckily Jose Jose got to perform it and this song basically got him started in his long successful career, until it lasted, before he lost his voice due to unknown circumstances, come people say it was due to his abuse of Drugs and Alcohol, some other people say it was due to forcing his vocal cords during his performances. No doubt he is one of Mexico's great singers, sadly he passed away last year. He will be missed but thankfully he left great memories and songs like this one and many more behind so we can enjoy them. I liked your reaction. Try to listen to this song with subtitles.

José José is THE SINGER

BEAUTIFUL REACTION!!!

El Más grande el único el Gran Jose Jose , ,inigualable ,,,,,, está todo Dicho. ,,,

Great analysis! I grew up listening to him and so far your analysis and comments are spot on! Love you 😘

Most people in Mexico and Latinamerica regard this man as the Mexican Frank Sinatra. He passed away in September 2019. Lovely voice and a true master of his skill. Can you react to Juan Gabriel's Hasta que te Conoci (Bellas Artes en Vivo version) or "Amor Eterno" (Bellas Artes en Vivo version). That guy is another titan of mexican music. He is not only a singer but composer as well. I believe he composed some of Jose Jose's songs and composed at least 1000 songs.

You are golden! Every point is spot on.

José José, el príncipe de la canción romántica. El composito de la letra musical lo dedico o dedica a su madre quien había fallecido.

DIMASH!!! In my opinion he is not only the best singer/performer in the world, but will go down in history as the greatest Ever!

Undoubtly heritage and gifted. One of the best Voices in the World :-)

Without a doubt this is the best technical analysis of José José's singing.

Thank you, I always enjoy your reactions! José José was an amazing Mexican singer! I’ll be waiting for the next one, Dimash would be great! Thanks Angel!

A lot of the musical choices that he made that you noticed were there to emphasize mood according to the lyrics of the song. I don't know how to express it, it's like you can 'feel' his voice, the sound itself, is 'crying' and 'lamenting' at the same time he expresses sorrow. That's something that made José José special.

Hello Ms Azzarra, you are such a professional, keeps vids coming. Beautiful as always.

Rest in peace Jose Jose:(

Thx for taking the time to listening to José José may he RIP

It is really a pride for me to analyze and react to one of the musical glories of my country Mexico and Latin America as well.Thank you very much really. I love your channel and I love you How nice to hear you talk about the great José José Thank you very much again. 👍😎🇲🇽

José José is one of my favorite people, love him I sing his songs and I think I know his song... he was so dear to my heart that I was compelled to listens to the lyrics!!!

Thank you for your reaction to Jose's performances of his life

True. His was a wonderful singer. Love His voice. Bravo Jose Jose !!!

Vivaa mexicoo🇲🇽

José José is just pure power and so much passion and tecnique. So much goodness.

You are absolutely right, he does those kind of "movements" with his voice to add color, it'll make sense to you if you add lyrics to the song, it is all about adding meaning to a specific part of the song.

RIP to a LEGEND !!!!

Una leccion de canto para todos los cantantes del mundo un maestro lo mas grande

He was acting and singing, so beautiful.

Thank you for teaching me the techniques that singers have the we people don’t know about it wow

He got third place in this contest! yet an universal song!

He was crying.... So sad 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤

This is sooooo good. Might be the best performance I’ve ever seen.

Great reaction to a great singer!

Big thing missing from the review is noting the passion he adds by the way he sings.

El príncipe de la Canción 🇲🇽🔥

Angel, I need to say this. Of all the vocal coach and singers I have seen reacting in KZfaq, you are the one that have the best Spanish pronunciation. The names of songs and artist sound right, even with the accent (normal!). Thank you for making that effort.

El gran Jose Jose ,,es ovbio. Es el Gran Jose ,ya está. Todo Dicho,, no ay nada par agregar. ,

Jose jose daddy was an opera singer!! Unfortunately we lost him last year 🥺 amazing singer🇲🇽

I love your reactions. You are one of the best and most objectice voice analyst in youtube great work

Me encanta 😍

You should hear all his music. Every song he sang was romantic and nice. Jose Jose was call él príncipe de la canción. Perhaps one of the best singers of all time and let's not forget Luis Miguel. You should check this beautiful song from José José name la Nave del olvidó.

I enjoy your knowledge and the way you most of the time deliver it right after the video evidence, HOWEVER, how could anyone cut up a masterpiece? Music is the most beautiful instrument of time. Let it be!!!

Thanks for your reaction: it was entertaining and informative.

I love him!!! I go through heartaches with Jose Jose 😍😉

When he sings my souls chills, we mexicans love music, singers and specially love.

You are so talented and beautiful...❤

Jose jose can hold the breath the entire song!

I never looked at it the way you did , but you are 100% correct about color and its use.

Thank you for your reaction Angel! Another good song by him is Del Altar a la Tumba . I hope that you can react to it.

You are lovely. Thanks for the reaction

He was a fantastic guy!! May he Rest In Peace ❤️

Hi, thank you for reacting to Jose Jose. I like that you pause the video and sing a little becuase you explain what hi is doing and we can hear tha specific section. Ususally when I listen to the songs I do not notice all these details, so thank you for pointing them and explaining.

I'm 20 mexican girl... and I cry everytime I hear that song and other from José José's voice... (Like "Mi niña", "Amar y querer", "Vamos a darnos tiempo"). I feel so sorry for how my generation treats reggaeton "singers" like gods and discards precious voices as José José's. Thanx a lot for you reaction.

I love watchin Ángel i love you smile😘

He is singing that way cause months before his mom passed that's why.. saludos from mexico

I like ur reactions and I think I learn alot of from u and help me to understand how difficult or hard to be an artist . Good job and keep doing this you are really good on this.

The best voice ever to have come out of Mexico!!!! No one even comes close!!!!!!

El Principe de la cancion The Prince of the song RIP🥺🥺HE'S A LEGEND AND I AM IN LOVE WITH HIS VOICE EVEN ME BEING 17❤❤❤

Woooow awesome ❤ thanks
