I thought it was funny when you said "it's like she has a PhD, this song is a phd" She went to one of the most prestigious music colleges in the United States for 4 years. Belmont school for music in Nashville, Tennessee. We grew up in the same town and even used to make her sing at parties back in high school. Always knew she was going to be big after school! Abbey is the best!

I love when a vocal coach listens to something a singer does and replies *after trying to replicate the run* with "Not really. That needs a lot of work. Ha-ha." She's an absolutely RIDICULOUS vocalist. The emotional impact of this song is so incredibly powerful. I'm reduced to tears every time I watch her during this performance. It obviously means so much to her and she is quite obviously on the verge of tears through the entire performance. This performance alone could be a masterclass.

She can hit very high notes and where her voice trailed off was a reflction of the vulnerability and rawness of her pain. Beautiful song and amazing singer. 👌👌👌

Growing up on gospel music, I've heard a lot of those longer runs often. They're quite common, but to hear it from someone so young... It really shows her gospel background and the control she has is chilling.

The pain is just there, she's most definately pulling from a real place, it's not just in her voice it's in her facial expressions and body language, this is a personal peak in too her pain. I love her...she's like Adele on steroids! 💖 Her melisma in her hum alone will take out!

Watching your reaction was like reliving my own reaction. I, too, kept saying "Oh My God", and stopping and replaying the video... it was as if I needed to make sure I actually heard what I had just heard!! Lord in Heaven,, please let us all hear much much more from this angel YEBBA... Namaste from the USA ;)

literally the only "Vocal coach" to actually analyse Yebba - My Mind. And actually really understood every amazing part of her voice. Bruh mean analysis. keep it up

Did anybody else get triggered when he kept pausing it seconds before she started preachin!!!!

Her mom committed suicide around the time she came out with this song and during this performance she was pregnant with triplets. The emotion she pours into this performance is absolutely beautiful. I cry every time hear this song.

Loving your reaction! I know it's 6 years after your reaction/analysis but, for me, her song is so powerful because the techniques she's picked up along the way are supporting the song. The story and emotions are the main focus here.

You hit the nail right on the head! Abbey’s voice is BLESSED. If I saw her live; she would bring me to tears...

So this video is probably the 100th reaction video of My Mind, and yours is actually kind of my favorite. It's weird that you are in a park, but I dig it. She's lovely and tragic and intimate and this song is everything that I needed it to be. Good reaction.

She has such control over her voice that she is trusting it to hold up while she puts as much feeling into it as she likes. That's what a master sounds like, right there. She's mastered her voice.

Yes...you have it all. The knowledge, the passion, the emotion, you're in beautiful nature, and you have a very smooth appeal. Easy sub👍🏽

The most pure expression of grief in song form.

The note she didn't hit at 6:34 wasn't a mistake. She hits that same note (and higher) in other parts of the song. The way she let it squeak out was intentional because she's not singing a song, she's telling a story. Every technique she used in this performance had a purpose, to make the audience feel. That's also why it's just her and a guitarist. No distractions. Just pure emotion.

RUNNING laps around those scales! Olympian-level singing to THE GODS. I stan. 🤘😍

I love how this guy appreciates Yerba so much….he’s very attractive too!

the gravely is def intentional ive heard all of her stuff. Thats a gift, you have it or you dont.

It is so interesting to hear vocal coaches reacting to such raw talent. I fucking love it!

Thanks for this! Check out her "Gravity" video with Clark Beckham (Cover)! Or "Smoke" with Luke Levenson (Original), both of those guys have voices you would probably find very interesting as well.

love that you're just as excited about this as me

YOU REPLAYED ALL THE PARTS I DID!!! Love your comment on the raw artist! Where artist push to their limits live and authentic!!! Loved you analysis! You keep it REAL AND HONEST!!! Love you channel!!!

If you liked Yebba on my mind, listen to Smoke by Luke Levenson ft. Yebba(Abbey Smith), Gravity by Clark Beckham ft.Yebba. She has just recently released Evergreen by Yebba(Abbey spelt backwards)! Please react to these.xoxo

Im a longterm subscriber of you Rached. Could you please react to Clark Beckham and Yebba - Gravity. Its one of the best things i ever heard in a duet

She's absolutely wonderful 🤗🤗 ty

This is my favorite reaction video for a song. Knowledge and care. The repeating of important bits. Good good stuff 👌🏻

I know you listened to this again after making this video and cried.

Please react to Niia ft. Jazmine Sullivan "Sideline"

Pure raw emotion, your reaction was awesome! I believe she was reliving what she was singing about! The girl’s got talent!😜🎤🎤😜

i love the way you appreciate those tiny bits

Best analysis of Yebba's technique. Thanks you got a good set of ears.

Amazing video, keep going with these. I love your channel by just watching this lol. Subbed, have an amazing day sir. 👋✌👍

EVERGREEN! Please please please! Oh, and Smoke (Luke Levenson and Abbey Smith...Yebba = Abbey spelled backwards). The vocal gymnastics, the accuracy and precision - it's just mind-blowing.

Didn’t realize this was a sing along 😂

It’s normal for vocal coaches who react to singing to stop and try to not only analyze the vocals but mimic them lol!

Yebba just released a new video on her single "Evergreen". Please of a Reaction + Analysis - it will amaze! She is so fantastic. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Ztxioct-ttPSpHk.html

Dear Hayek, Many thanks for your "Reaction + Analysis"~~~. You helped me to know more and more about the songs!

Wow amazing performance! And you pick up those runs really quickly!

How tf have I not seen this yet, I couldn't find any reactions to this and I'm subscribed to you what the hell

Wow you’re so handsome! I love watchin you appreciate the runs! New subscriber ☝🏼

Oh, I didn't know, thanks!

You need to really listen to Allen stone, he sings alot like yebba .he is just awesome he got so much soul it's unbelievable. His songs are unaware is one brown eyed lover, he writes most of his music. Another one is your eyes, or give you blue ,American privilege, that's just a few .you will not be disappointed check him out ❤

Her soul sang

I really wish you'd cover this song now 😂

I really enjoy watching your reaction videos. So unaffected and your genuine and deep love for music is so apparent. This was such a powerful and gripping performance from Yebba. I second the others who suggested you watch her duet with Clark Beckham (under her name Abbey Smith) singing "Gravity." And then while you're at it, because I'm not demanding (ha), I strongly recommend "Tennessee Whiskey" by Clark Beckham and Madison Ryann. PHD runs galore. :)

Broke it down well

She wasnt pushing her voice to hit that high note......she did exactly what she was trying to do. It was an effect

I love your practice! Keep sharing. *sorry for my english*

Is there such thing as repetitive pause syndrome ?

Been watching tour vids..gotta say love the way you break them down! Can you do Clark Beckhams Tennessee Whiskey cover? Would love to hear what you think.

Heard some Dorinda and Karen Clark in there at 9:11

bro gonna have to disagree with you on one point - don't think the gravel is "unintentional" per se because she has clear notes as well, I think it's "unintentional" in a sense that she doesn't know if the voice will gravel at a certain stage but I will say I think there is some degree of control in that she know at what stage her voice will reach that gravel to add to the emotion :)

New viewer here, but i would LOVE to see you break down some of the stuff Mitski does. Shes Unclassifiable genre wise in my opinion, literally nothing she does sounds the same as anything else she's ever done.

6:30 I remember reading about this sort of thing: the Pratfall Effect. “people who are considered highly competent are found to be more likeable when they perform an everyday blunder than those who don’t.” (Brescia.edu)

Pro!!! Wow you're very spesific👍

Love your reaction new sub

Can you please try to do the video by nao- in the morning. I don’t know if you did this video.

Nice break down bro

Evergreen! by yebba

can you react/analyze to Yebba - Evergreen? Thank you!

FUCK THAT HE DID EXACTLY WHAT I DO AND AT ALL THE SAME PARTS ROFLAMO

Please Can u play KZ TANDINGAN ,ROLLING IN THE DEEP ,thanks,, can we see how u react of this song,,

Could you do a vocal reaction to LP? Either Lost on you live or Strange or Muddy Waters live

I was listening to her and Clark Beckham all day. I’m jealous dear God! Haha. Their Gravity cover is also the best. You might want to check it out as well. I’m sleeping with so much jealously because of Clark Beckham. Hahahaha

You gotta check out her new music video evergreen!

If you love this, you have to Check out Yebba’s recently made Evergreen music video. It is literally her best in terms of musicality. I absolutely loved your video, amazing!

Have you analyzed Chris Stapleton's bluesy soulful cover of Dean Dillon & Linda Hargrove's country song " Tennessee Whiskey "?

the gravel just adds to the dirty raw sound like a baby crying

The gravel is Pentacostal intentional!!!

I felt like you missed a lot of the emotion of the song by not listening to it first prior to analysis or just not listening to it fully. some of my favourite parts of the song you didn't comment on because it didnt seem like you connected with the song personally at all. the difference between singing and SANGING is what YEBBA does damn well

Hey, you should react and analyze Moses Sumney's performance of "plastic" on the sofar channel. He has a crazy range and folksy-indie r&b kind of sound.

You should also react to Dear No One Fatai V. Her version on Tori Kelly’s Original Song! You’ll love Tori Kelly’s vocals too!!!

Thanks for checking it out! Isn't she incredible?! Haha

She was intentionally adding rasp to parts of her vocal. Black singers created that technique which is heard mostly in gospel music.

Have u reacted to "Gravity" with her in it? Just as good

Good stuff. And you pick up those runs quick.

this for you the opera. Super Star TTV Birdy sing's Phantom Of The Opera

Hi!you are great,can you react to dimas opera 2.......

Hi Rached. I stumbled upon you when I was searching for Boys2Men's Rose And A Honeycomb about a month ago. I really enjoy your reaction videos. I would like to see you react to La'Porsha Renae duetting with Fantasia La'Porsha Renae & Fantasia - Top 24 Duet - AMERICAN IDOL . If you have time check out my cover of Sam Cooke's Just Another Day and let me know what you think. 👊

React to Brandy Beggin and Pleadin. The live performance. ASAP

React to yebba and Clark Beckham - gravity

You have to react to Jessie J, especially her performances on Singer 2018! She’s a killer vocalist❤️

I LOVE YOU AND SUBSCRIBED...JUST WANTED TO SAY, TO VOCAL COACHES...HER VOICE ISNT TIRED , OR IT MIGHT BE...BUT THAT GRAVEL HAS TO BE LABELED SOUL...IT'S SOUL...YOU CANNOT PAINT AN UGLY PICTURE WITH PRETTY COLORS...DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

Such a HUGE Abbey Smith (Yebba) fan. Glad to see her getting her just due. Great video. Not sure if you have covered or heard this before, but this clip of Callie Day will also knock you dead... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZiGbNGLmZyZc6M.html

coach can you pls react to bruno mars singing all i ask by adele please :) thank you :)

Subbed, now please react to Yebba's Evergreen W🙌W

I loved this performance by her so much. She wrote and performed this I believe shortly after her mom killed her self, it was her first time performing it

Plz checkout plzzzzzzzz react to Ofra Haza “love song “ live plzzzzzzzzz z

Its too tough/difficult to do ryt? Coach? I knew it lolz..

I think her imperfections are intentional.

Check out Larry from Lee Twins perform this song. Her voice is so mesmerizing. He dances so emotinally. They are both beautiful.

You pause a video TOO much!

Really u done crash the whole video. Dats waaaaay to much yapping.😂😂😂

Wondering if you are ever going to figure out the woman is torn to shreds emotionally. She's not trying to push her voice to the edge, she's trying not to lose her sanity and begin screaming and crying. Listen to her emotions and quit trying to hit runs you obviously can't. People are watching reactions to Yerba singing My Mind to see what others emotional reaction might be. Nope you never got the point. Her voice is tired? She's emotionally destroyed. Watch her! She's damn near sobbing dude.

love reactions but pausing every 3 seconds wow
