She just WRECKED us and then just casually said “ Thats that one”

The thing that stuck out to me about her performance was the “wailing” notes. I’ve never heard some one accurately make pain sound beautiful. It’s haunting and makes you feel anger and sadness at once. Insanity

I'm 55 year old construction worker and I cry every time hearing this.

I think it is admirable that you let yourself be so moved in front of a camera. Beautiful tears. Thanks for sharing and giving a piece of authenticity to KZfaq.

"She did, I think, consciously, sacrifice, uh, many times in that performance, sacrifice vocal technique, for the way that she had to tell the story." Most insightful comment I've been waiting to hear.

It's so hard not to notice that YEBBA was able to take real cries and sobs and elevate them into music.

Literally me, too, girl. 😭 I knew you had no idea what you were about to witness. Lol

YEBBA performing "My Mind" at Sofar NYC on September 30th, 2016. The first time I heard this song, I thought it was about the overwhelming anguish felt when one is confronted by irrefutable evidence of their lover’s infidelity. But then, I read that Yebba’s mother committed suicide about a week after she sang her first original song; causing "My Mind" to take on new meaning representing mental health. As if the mental illness was taking her mother away 🥺. She says her artist name was chosen to honor her mother, who she said "always called her by the nickname" (her name Abbey written backwards) as a child. In memory of her mother, Yebba twitted in Sep 26, 2020 "This the last time ima respond about “My Mind”. Most of you read as “wow love the way she portrays pain in her voice”... that’s not what it was. It was worship, freedom, Hope really. And I never re-recorded it because I respect the Presence in that room. Let’s move on together." and then "Later that year, my mom committed suicide. I went back and dedicated the performance to her as it was my last before she passed. So that’s where it will always stay. Don’t ask me to recreate it no mo. You ain’t gotta have respect but pls, have some soul. Let’s move on together." Well, she is literally crying without shedding a tear! So strong. So powerful. “That’s that one”

every time i hear this song it breaks me. i was cheated on after 7 years with my partner and ive been trying to pick up the pieces ever since. "i sure wont stay, but i'll be damned if i leave". the amount of times those words flew through my head. this song is so real. and your reaction is so genuine. thankyou for this.

This performance is one of the most intensely emotional ever. The skill needed to be that raw but still sing is tremendous. Those *cries*. Yebba has said she won't ever record the song because this is the definitive performance of it, and she wants to honor what happened in that room. And that protective thing--I've seen so many reactors say things like, "Tell me who hurt her, I'mma come for them". It really does bring out that feeling.

Almost every vocal coach that react to this performance just analysis the technique and they forgot the rawness of it all. Thank for sharing and to let your feelings come out.

“Honouring your voice to express yourself.” What a great piece of advice.

“She deserves all of the vowels!” Thanks for that bit of comic relief. It was needed. I’ve seen this performance many times, so I knew what to expect…from her. Didn’t expect to be so moved by you watching it. Maybe I need a cup of tea now.

Finally, someone let themselves feel during a reaction completely! Kudos to you! I tear up every time I watch her video! 😭

You are my favourite 😍. I only watch this song now combined with your reaction.

Watching her make the fairy Voice Mother cry made a 41 year old man cry. Another brilliant video, I have learned so much about singing from this channel. Great stuff!

That song is just so REAL...but it was YOU crying that broke me. :(

Not to knock other vocal coaches who have reacted to this, but you're the first one to I think really grasp and replicate the nuances to her vocal styling right off the bat. Talented stuff.

I never cried like this listening to a song. It's beautiful but it drew out the emotion from me. I still can't believe it. 😭😭😭

I reacted the same way I saw this. Yebba makes you feel the pain.

What makes an artist great, I think, is their ability to connect emotionally with their audience more than their specific technique, or perhaps their ability to apply technique for that greater purpose. That is why I hate to hear that a singer has done something "wrong" technically, and what I love about your critques. Your own openness to emotion, your own vulnerability, allows you to see the performance beyond the technique. You have an incredible technical understanding and such a clear way of explaining it, but it is your character that allows you share the art of the performance. I always come away with something from your reactions that allows me to better appreciate the artist, both technically and artistically. Thank you!

This song has always made me tear up, it hurts to hear.

Love this song on so many levels. Your reaction does it true justice. p.s. The backstory to this actual performance and the days surrounding it is heartbreaking.

Your talent, knowledge, and passion for music are a joy to experience. You appreciate every artist for their individual identity and are able to instruct without criticizing or minimizing the artist’s achievements. I’m so glad to have found your channel!

I'm so glad to see someone moved by this the way I am. I can't watch this without crying either. I'm a bit of a music nerd (though def not a singer lol) and I could analyse all the nuances for hours, but it's so hard to not be taken by the raw emotion of this performance. Thanks for making me feel normal for crying at this!

I had the same exact reaction listening to this performance the first few times.

As an amateur guitarist myself, that guitarist comment at 12:11 got me cheering, thanks for giving him a well deserved shout-out, it was uplifting after shedding some tears along with you during the more emotional parts.

She starts explaining how she felt watching Yebba performance and all I heard was how I was feeling watching her react to it. Save and protect this beautiful angel at all costs.

I've been watching this for a few years now. Abbey's voice on this song... and this SONG is the most emotion I've ever heard. When ever I hear it I break down crying. Just can't help myself.

LOL @ "out of the well" effects. Not only do you explain techniques, you entertain. I'm not a singer, but you make me wish I was. I love how you appreciate the talent and beauty of the craft in a truly genuine manner.

I should never have agreed to let one of my undergrads put the original on in one of my music production classes. I cried in front of the whole class. I'm a big hairy 49 year-old biker. I still can't watch it without crying, and now I'm crying watching you crying at the same bloody video. (Great channel by the way!! Subbed!!)

Haven't cried with a song this much since Johnny Cash's Hurt.

You are - by far - the best voice analyst on YT. You sing better than anyone you react to; as evidenced by your ability to replicate the sounds they make and explain what or how to accomplish them. Thank You!

Well done video. I admire you for crying and teaching others the importance of feeling the music rather than just listening to the music.

I love how you connect with the emotion of the music. Music IS emotion. It touches us in ways that nothing else can. I saw this in your Diana Ankudinova reaction. There are other "vocal coaches" who somehow miss the human component of the music. Keep it up, you are the best.

Yebba is INCREDIBLE. Been a fan for years. The first time I watched this performance, I was literally moved to tears too. This is the best reaction to her performance that I’ve seen. Well done!!❤️

This is the best reaction to this beautiful live performance Ive seen on KZfaq ❤

Thank you for introducing me to the incredible experience that is YEBBA. Jesus! Where have I been?

Big fat tears... streaming down my face. Need a good cry now and then 🥺

This performance. Incredible. Every single time.

Wow, that was a lot more emotional than I expected, what a performance of storytelling. Love your reactions!

Oh my god thank you so much for this reaction, this is the first time I've seen one of your videos and I want to applaud you on your honesty, transparency and amazing breakdown on this performance. This is one of my favourite performances ever and seeing you analyze it, while keeping the emotion behind the song in mind, is just amazing. I highly suggest Lara Fabian's performance of "Je suis malade", there's a video with French and English subtitles to it that I think you'd enjoy and love to analyze. Sending you aaaalll the love from the Netherlands ❤❤❤❤

Best reaction on this song on the internet. Thx for that. ❤️

I absolutely loved your reaction to this - I usually try and avoid vocal coaches reaction to this song, because I feel like majority try and critique the song in a technical term and suggest what they would do differently from a professional point of view to make the song “perfect.” As a consumer, you know what I would change about this performance? Nothing. Not a damn thing. You could hear her heartache and vulnerability, and that sets her aside from so many of the polished artists you hear these days on the radio. The lyrics were so relatable, and Yebba sang that for all the women (and men) who have found themselves in the exact same situation once before. My tears flow every time I hear this song.

omg, this young lady is wonderfully intelligent and so special, wish I was 20 years younger

Your reaction was stellar. You picked up perfectly on the much needed balance between drawing the listener in by showing emotion vs having a perfect vocal performance. The cracks and breaks were on purpose. Looking forward to more reactions!

Most empathetic and accurate breakdown of this GEM of a song. Thank you!! Truly immeasurable beauty this song from Yebba. Absolutely stunning.

Thank you for being fragile authentic and quirky never stop being your amazing self. Can you please do a plug of your item music - I would love to hear you sing (you are clearly a vocal boss). Where can I find your singing where?! Tell meee

I'm not crying...you're crying. Another great video and analysis, full of information on how to get those great vocal sounds and - most importantly - which type of thongs there are besides Speedos. From one goof-off to another...thank you. ;-)

I just heard of Yebba last night, and I cried like a baby while listening to this song....Great honest reaction..

I'm so glad the internet broke the hold of record company filtering and dismissal of so many great voices. I found some really amazing ones on Twitch. If it weren't for your Twitch I never would have known better. Thanks for you. Yebba was crushing, so good. Great reaction. Same here😭

Girl this was my exact reaction when first hearing this track....like...how you gone make us BAWL and then say "that's that one"....... GIRL!! 😭😭😭😭

Wow this was literally me the first time listening/watching this performance; just streams coming down my face. Great reaction n feedback!

Soooooooo... Yebba's performance was one thing... like a HUGE thing... but your reaction and breakdown of her performance was ANOTHER thing! The combination of hearing her singing and watching you cry AS she was singing was frankly one of the most profound things I have experienced in a long time. I absolutely adore how every one of your reaction videos are so technical, and yet so flippin' EMOTIONAL as well! Thank you for not only sharing your expertise, but for sharing your emotions as well! YOU'RE AWESOME!

She’s a magical voice witch! Lol In all seriousness, it’s really a gifting to be able to make people feel that emotionally connected to a performance. Few performers are able to bring their audiences along for the ride. She did it masterfully!

Gosh, always want to kiss the tears from your eyes. You are one of the most emotional KZfaqr I know. And therefore on of my most beloved.

I have never heard that much pain in a voice.... Dear God what a performance. I'm wrecked

Your reaction was a breath of fresh air ... unaffected, natural, emotional 🥰

You're the cutest ever girl. Love how much you were moved by this and also didn't analyse her technical failings, cos honestly her performance was literally perfect even if not technically perfect.

That old “melisma that breaks upward into a falsetto “ thing … impressive breakdown in many ways ☺️ Bless you for wanting to protect her 🙏

Never heard this song, but can confirm I have already shed multiple tears. I mean, God damn... 😭 Your reaction was absolutely an influence, too. Thank you for being truly genuine, I needed that. Subscribed.

I’ve watched this video a thousand times and fall in love with it more every time. But this time, watching you cry, broke me. I found myself in tears as well.

I came here after watching your reaction to Seventeen because I was intrigued by your genuine vibes. I love this reaction as well, you let yourself feel, and it’s admirable.

You are the absolute best teacher/vocalist/musical analyst on the internet. PERIOD.

The ending of this video was hilarious! That's exactly how i feel too. lol

Your sobbing through half of the performance? A mirror image of me, for sure, every single time I watch it 😂 Also, your analysis is beautiful and gave words to the feeling I experienced while listening to her. Also, your voice and technical breaking down of the abilities of Yebba were both, as equally gorgeous. :) Bless you fairy voice mother 😂 Loved the curses at the end, especially. Very fairy like 😂

Wow, you’ve got a wonderful, soulful voice yourself! This is my first time seeing one of your videos…I’d love to hear you perform. Great analysis re. Yebba!

This is how you feel music! Love the vocals but I love watching you be touched 10 times more! This is music!

I think you are the best vocal teacher ever....and also have beatiful soul to understand the artist....i love your sence of humor and perfect knowledge of vocal technique p.s.you can sing like dimash OMG 🙏🙌🎤🎼🎶💪but more emotional ❤️

watching you feel this so deeply was beautiful... the mind and heart of an artist. i need more of that in my world. not much of that to be found in the corporate universe in which I spend most of my time. and your voice... wow.

Beautiful reaction!

I am so late to hearing this amazing lady named YEBBA but without you I wouldn't have enjoyed her vocals without watching you. Thank you!

Honestly the best and realest and honest reaction I have ever seen!!!! I love your content and your soul!

I cried the exact same way. Truly cried. She opened up a decades old wound and made it feel like yesterday. Her emotions pour out of her.

Seeing you sing with distortion blew my mind! I want to learn to do that!

How am I just now hearing this?!!! Wow…I’m speechless and emotionally gutted. She’s just incredible.

Awwww yay you reacted to it! Love you so much you're so amazing 😍

This was a delightful analysis to a gorgeous song!❤❤

Congrats on the 100k!

Welcome back we missed you last week!! So glad you are feeling better!! Also great reaction as always!!

Ok but I think I’m getting addicted to watching Yebba reaction videos. I loved this. Your reaction was brilliant. Achingly brilliant. And thanks for the nerdy bit too! Isn’t Yebba just mesmerising.

I’ve watched so many reactions to this Yebba performance. Yours is my favourite.

There are a dozen things that set you apart from other voice reacts, but the most striking and (IMO) most important is that your reactions feel genuine- so genuine, so raw. I love your videos so so much. You’ve introduced me to so many wonderful talents in such a short time and that’s so valuable to me.

The depth in her performance is astounding. You can feel the pain and see it, as she's singing. She has felt the heartbreak that this man has caused and it comes through in her voice. 😢

“My mind, my mind, you will always be mine..” such a powerful and moving performance.

thanks for this discover ! And thanks for your honesty ! be blessed !

Yebba is one of my favorites! Absolutely incredible performance 🤯

This song just does it for me every time! Your voice is amazing as well !

Yesss queen!! I felt the same when I watched it. Love you

It’s incredible all the technicalities and details that only another singer can really understand. You help me to appreciate the amazing gifts that singers have.

Ooh goodness..your reaction was so genuine and wonderful. You squeezed my heart ♥️

Thank you for this. For articulating that emotional feeling this song solicits. Every single time I listen to this song it puts me in such a raw, beautiful place. Loved the analysis also 🤟🏾

Your videos give me life. Your ability to mimic singers is incredible! ❤️❤️

Thank you for another wonderful reaction and analysis.

Holy hell that was amazing, both you and her....just wow

Love your reactions and analysis!!!

What a nice and truly reaction of yours and a perfect advices that you gave 🙏🙏

Wonderful heart felt vowel reaction.. your true love for music shines through with each tear.🎶

I loved that reaction almost as much as that performance! Thank you!!!
