Thank you John, I found this so interesting. When Michael wanted to pursue this career path our mother sent him to a voice teacher and he came back after the first lesson and said that he wasn't going to go again because she was going to ruin what he felt he was doing naturally right for him.

God, he was special. Never Tear Us Apart at this concert was simply amazing.

Great to see a reaction of Michael Hutchence - he was truly an exceptional singer and performer. 👍

My entire life shattered and my heart broke when he died. His voice was one of a kind. I had just seen them live at Chastain in Atlanta. I still cry, I miss everything about Michael Hutchence.

My favorite band and man. If I'm being objective, they were one of the best live bands I ever saw. If I'm being biased, they were hands down THE best. They always delivered live. From what I remember, he never had formal training as a singer either and could still do this. What's sad, is that he never thought he was an amazing singer. But oh my god, his voice , especially that "whisper" can send chills up my spine and just make you feel it to your toes. My god, I miss him.

Thank you John for your expert analysis on Michael's talent. He has always been my favorite frontman because of his voice and charisma.

I remember when Bono said back in the 80's that Michael was the best rock voice out there.

Thank you for this video! It's long over due for Michael & INXS to get the love and respect they deserve. This was the second song of the night, and he sounds this great to the end. I got to see this tour, so fantastic!!! Michael and Andrew wrote so many hits, and over 300 songs, why are they not in the Rock n' Roll hall of fame?

One of those rare singers that no one else sounds like.

How good are INXS! Michael had the X Factor - the voice, the performance, the swave. Guys just living it and loving it! It great to here about the technical aspects to Michael’s voice.

My idol Michael Hutchence.... thank you so much for doing this, MH was complete star quality and a utter rock god with a voice to die for, a total one off..!! Never will be another like him.

Such a great choice of someone to pay homage to John. Thank you.

Great reaction! I saw INXS live twice and Michael was pitch perfect both nights. I mean he had a few spots where he added some emotional rawness on purpose, but otherwise... Perfection. Of all the bands I've seen live (I was a live junkee in my younger years) I have to say Michael Hutchence and Bono (more so pre-Achtung Baby era) were the two most dynamic singers that connected to the audience in such a powerful way... Sometimes running (maybe prancing in Hutchence's case) from stage left to right and at other moments standing perfectly still and holding a hand up to the audience.. Both just connected to their audience like no other singers I've seen. MH was a special talent.

Incredible to find the reaction of a real vocal coach nowadays specially about this sometimes underated band. They was great and the singer trully fantastic a real charismatic frontman. Thanks!!

i loved your professional opinion thou i have always felt inxs is underrated. best frontman ever

He covers me in goosebumps in many songs , verses, notes , over and over. Just look at him when he sings any song, he genuinely feels and lives that song in the moment. Michael had an over abundance of charisma , such passion, sex appeal, and sensuality and extremely captivating in addition to that wonderful voice ! A complete showman and some to say the very least. And if someone can give people goosebumps for decades with their music that never simmers, that about says enough

John, may I suggest reviewing and reacting to Hutch's performance of "The Stairs" from the same concert. I have a feeling you would get goosebumps because the delivery has the exact effect that it was meant to create.

I’m so glad you made this video! It was recommended by Tina, Michael’s sister, and it’s amazing! He really is a rock god! It’s so nice to hear people still talking about Michael 22 years after his passing. Your critique is phenomenal. I love how excited you got listening to this amazing song!

That concert was legendary. They were at their absolute best! Saw this in theaters in December 2019 and it was amazing. It was like traveling back in time. ❤️ many people in the audience wore INXS t-shirts and everyone was standing up and dancing. This was a few months before covid. I ordered the Blu-ray Disc and watch it at home. Love it! Brings back so many memories. The band is and still is legendary. Michael left way too soon.

I love your description of his voice as that is exactly how it should be described. You also nailed the description of Michael himself. He was and will always be my absolute favorite rock God because he indeed had it ALL!!!!!!

John you are so point on with Michael’s voice. He was one of a kind definitely.

EFFFFFINGGGG BRILLLIANT!!!!! An amazing vocalist, powerful singer, and a sexy brilliant intriguing delicious voice ❤️😁😍. What my EAR HEARS... is what is said here in BETTER words😁😊🙃👍 (Came back to fix my spelling lol...getting new glasses post quarantine 😉)

I searched for vocal coach reactions to INXS specifically to see what would be said about Michael's technique. Thanks!

Thank you for this. I absolutely love the smile on your face as you were listening.. I think alot of people have the same reaction including myself. I always loved Michael Hutchence's voice, always will . It's so rich and strong. A true rock god gone way too soon

I was always amazed how good they sound on live performance. Especially Michael`s voice felt fullfilled with an amazing energy and vitality. It`s like when you taste a very good dish you don`t exactly know what is there like ingridients and recipe but it tastes just great. That was I used to feel regarding INXS and Michael performance!

Thank you for that! I've been listening to INXS since the mid 80s, and I knew Michael had an amazing voice, but it's great to hear your explanation and confirmation :-) Very interesting to hear the details of the ease in which he sings so smoothly. Miss him so much

Micheal had such power and soul. One of my faves

Boy, what a beautiful man who is loved and missed so much.

His voice was like a waterfall. Missed dearly.

Excelent! 👏👏 Such a great AND talented singer Michael. Missing not forgotten 😢

Simply the best frontman in the history of music. He had it all. Name me a better one

KZfaq suggestions brought me here. I don't understand much at all about music, just drawn in by where music takes me on a ride. John, loved your energy and explanation of what Michael was doing.... Gives me a higher appreciation for Michael. This thick headed guy that doesn't understand music learned some things today. Peace!

INXS was such a fantastic band and Hutchence a great singer and performer. Nice break down!

Thank you so much for this! I was just recently in a discussion with someone about Michael's voice. Trying to explain why I think Michael had such a great voice with a big range. You explained it perfectly. Thank you!!

One thing I’ve come to appreciate about Michael is his PHRASING of lyrics. It’s effortless & you can’t replicate it. He also does this “talk-sing” thing that’s like his signature. Kind of reminds me of how (ahem) SINATRA would do it. Michael is surely missed especially in light of today’s singers who rely on AUTOTUNE (Michael didn’t. Wasn’t available back then I think). RIP to a great soul

What first caught my attention of INXS, certainty their great tight sound, but is was 'the singer', I had never heard anyone sound so unique, on the song Original Sin.

And he sounds great without autotune LIVE. Real musicians here.

Awesome analysis of Michael's singing. He was really special. And he's missed. Such a great frontman.

His voice was exceptional, and so was the man. He can belt them out, but he can also sing the more slower songs like " Side by Side " and Never tear us a part.

Best opening!!! INXS in their heyday!!! Michael Hutchence truly the best. Bono said that Michael's voice was like a 12-string guitar, when everyone else is a 6-string.

This is one of my favourite albums, I'm generally a 70s rock fan and when I pull this record out people I always...... Really? And then I play it and then there...... I forgot how good they we're, and Michael's voice.... Wow!

He really brought this song to life compared to how it sounds on the music video. Good to see you appreciate it which it deserves.

My forever RockGod Michael Hutchence. Thank you so much for this video x

I absolutely love this!! Michael always has been and continue to be the best front man ever !!! Im still heartbroken over the loss of him. Thank you for this recognition of our beloved HUTCH!!!

guys used to sound so great live, I remember their Wembley 1991 performance watching on tv, I was literally fascinating by Michael`s voice power

This was so much fun to watch. Thank you for doing this for one of my favourite singer-songwriters and artists ever and for doing it so damn well.

Please check out his voice on the song (Searching , live in aspen 1997) it will blow your mind

Their rendition of the song The Loved One , from this same concert is also as they say "Worth the price of admission alone".

More Michael please lol

Hands down The Greatest Rockstar to ever exist! Rip Hutch, you are missed so deeply..

Encontré este video al azar... Qué bueno que alguien haya analizado a Hutchence con la profesionalidad que se merece. INXS es una banda muy subestimada. Para mí, representan a los 80´s y 90´s con un estilo único. Concuerdo con un comentario en que deberían estar en el Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

RIP Michael. Much love ❤️

When hes bouncing around, and realises he wont hit certain notes, he changes pitch/...and still makes every note perfect....

I love how much Mr. Henry is obviously a fan of this song!

I've subscribed because you're not just reacting to new popular singers but the old ones as well. I mean... yeah, I am hooked on watching people react to Dimash *but* it's also wonderful to see singers like this (and Steve Perry, George Michael, Freddie, etc.) get their continued due. Love it and am so glad to have found your channel ❤

Michael ❤❤, une légende dotée d'une voix incomparable. Il rythme les paroles et la musique 🎶🎶🎶🎶

UNIQUE VOCAL...INCREDIBLE...

This video brought me such joy. INXS are one of my favorite bands, and this performance is so incredible. Thank you for your fun and passionate video!

God bless Michael Hutchence

It was effortless for him, I love Michael so much 💞 thanks for a great reaction 😊

Michael was galactic sent

When he got to "hate baby hate" he hits another of those deceptive high notes that he did so well. He made it sound so easy, but it's not!

As a huge Michael Hutchence fan I was super appreciative of your analysis and enthusiasim! Thanks. You are great at what you do!

Gorgeous video, gorgeous topic, gorgeous the whole thing. Thank you so!

I enjoyed your opinion and video, subbed mate !!

I know what you mean.. In my head I think I can sing like Michael Hutchence but no way, man..impossible. Great video, John..This was the 2nd song of the night so I think Michael was pacing himself for what was at that time their biggest gig. Personally I think Michael showcases his best vocal ability live when singing What You Need. Cheers

Excelent singer! Please "Hear that sound" Live in Wembley

I absolutely adore inxs one of my favorite frontman the lovely and talented michael hutchence

Great video. I highly recommend doing an analysis video for INXS performing Never Tear Us Apart at Live Baby Live which showcases some of Michael's best vocal performances. It really is breathtaking.

A lovely review of his voice! Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

that`s true Michael never sounded boring, his every live performance had its special thing and was so expressive, a real story telling with the signing

It's so enjoyable listening to you talk voice. I learn so much.

Excellent break down ,i can tell you are good at what you do .

Estaria feliz de saber como se lo recuerda x buen cantante y compositor,Bono dijo q Michael nunca supo la gran voz q tenia

so proud not wroning myself back then in 1991)))) Michael really still is a Rock God!

Enjoy your analysis thank you

Us teachers would soooo appreciate a video on tips/strategies to prevent vocal burnout. I use my optimal pitch and try to avoid speaking too loudly (especially now that we're online), but my folds and vocal system still feel tired after just 3 hours of classes.

Hi John. Thank you for this commentary. What a voice! Can I ask you a question? Is Michaels voice demonstrating belting, twanging while in a lower larynx position when he sings and performs? Is there any similarities in his vocal expression to Jim Morrison (not the genre)?

It’s impressive to be so forceful, and yet perfectly in tune, with so much background noise, and so much going on.

Loved and missed everyday

Oh sooo great to watch a vid with someone who knows music and sound and breaks this down so beautifully!

I remember about twenty years ago going on a bit of a pub adventure with my mate's partner in Richmond (Victoria, Australia). She was deaf. We went past the house where Dogs in Space was shot. It was very difficult for me to communicate the significance of the dwelling considering I had limited sign language. For some reason, I will never forget that.

I totally agree with everything written above. My fav song is Searching.❤

Reincarnation of Jim Morrison. The Hutch was unique, no one since in terms of voice and stage presence.

Long overdue analysis on a mega talent. Thanks so much. His Arsenio show appearance is amazing too.

What an interesting analysis of an amazingly good performance.

This concert was amazing. I found your channel today on his 62nd birthday . TFS . His voice will resonate through my house all day today RIP Michael. 🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺

Loved your reaction/ analysis. INXS is one of my all time favorite bands. Could you please do a reaction to Nightwish, Ghost Love Score (live at Wacken 2013 is the best)? Nightwish is a Finnish metal band, and their lead singer, Floor Jansen, is one of the best singers working today. She must be heard to be believed.

Beautiful Michael, beautiful song beautiful soul!!!! 😢😢❤

amazing!

Hi. Of all the performances that I was able to see Michael's live, in none of them did I notice that he went out of tune with a single lyric in his songs, he was simply a gifted singer and a methodical perfectionist.

I love Michael Hutchence ❤

Aussie pub bands starts in the 70s and 80s.. was really rich with talent

You're amazing and I love your technical breakdown/analysis! Can please you do more Broadway vocalists? Like Cynthia Ervio, Jeremy Jordan, Shoshana Bean, and Ben Platt.

Proud Australian here. Thank you for this !

So correct that he was a total rock god and made it look effortless. A total master of the stage and his vocals.

No words.

That guy was Heaven sent...

I would love to see an analysis of Roland Orzabal! Great video🙌🏻

My forever RockGod, Michael Hutchence. Miss you forever. I was so fortunate to have your hands in my hair back in the Sydney pub days x .
