"Obsessed!": Once Again, Lindsay Mendez's Backup Harmonies Steal The Show

Рет қаралды 206,632

Lindsay Mendez joined Seth Rudetsky in studio for the latest go 'round of the "Obsessed!" series. Mendez recreates her backup harmonies from Grease and then goes toe-to-toe with a special guest from "The King and I" to demonstrate how her vocal chops turn backup singing in a West Side Story tune into "frontup" singing!

I'm also completely obsessed with this woman. She turned the 15 minute musical 21 Chump Street into a full on Broadway show. I love her, I want to be her best friend. I wonder what her hair smells like? OBSESSED!

Lindsay also had a duet with Laura Osnes on Grease, The prom night song , really nice harmonies again. Also I don't understand what Seth means by "placement". Could someone explain it please?

@jamesbaio9327 7 жыл бұрын

Placement is a terminology referencing how one uses air through the "mask" or resonance areas of the face (read sinuses) to amplify, augment, and, often, focus the sound forward. Chica in the video uses her resonance well (considering that the notes she's singing as harmony are probably nicely in her belt range).
