She's truly a rare talent. Her ability to hear little nuances and to blend different layers and keys of her voice to blend her main voice with her background vocals is just STELLAR. Unbelievable how a woman of small stature can sing like a powerhouse of a opera singer.

I’ve seen her sing/riff live without extra effects and her voice is so light and floaty. Love her

She was born to sing. But what was interesting about her, based on early, personal posts, was that she consistently experimented with her voice, in the studio to her bedroom. Just her, just singing, layering her voice, harmonizing with herself, recording over and over and over. She’s truly gifted and skilled.

I appreciate a lot how Sam's video goes beyond the vocal reaction. It's some kind of life philosophy at the same time. I find this heart-warming to watch

Have you listened to her song "my hair"? she shows her vocal range in a very clever manner, she uses a very low note in the beginning and she sings the whole outro using her whistle register, such an excellent song!

ur an an amazing teacher, not enough vocal coaches pay attention to this side of things

Ariana always impresses me with her vocal mobility. It's one of those skills that sounds WAY easier than it actually is to perform.

He said "totally different voices for the top versus the bottom" and I felt that

her voice fr makes me cry, she really just knows how to use it and pull emotions out of you through her voice, it's so beautiful.

I'm a surgeon, and the only outside of work activity I really enjoyed (before the pandemic), was going to concerts and plays. It really hit me when you spoke about listening to live music, because I realized how long it's been... Here's wishing for enough of a return to normalcy that we All get to hear some live music soon!

if you love this song you need to hear “off the table” and “safety net”. her voice is amazing and you can feel the emotion.

Where’d you go, Sam?

You’re such a good dude. I really like watching your videos. You’re so good at what you do. I always chuckle when I see you identifying the notes people are singing because I do the same thing when I’m listening to a good singer. I am an empathetic listener (like my larynx knows what they’re doing) and Ariana Grande is usually a really comfortable singer to listen to. There are some singers I have a hard time listening to perform because it hurts my throat. Like I said, she’s impressive for frequently singing comfortably. There’s a performance of her doing God is a Woman live on Good Morning America where she has laryngitis. I typically get really sad listening to singers perform when they’re sick because I can hear how much it hurts when they don’t modify their approach. Even in that performance I could hear her singing comfortably (with laryngitis)

Come back Sam, the internet needs you!

I love his shirt so much

ariana vocalist queen of our generation

"hehe, she's really good." YUP my exact reaction

She does her own backing vocals in her music very often.

She was my first and only concert. She always sounds like the studio version or even better 😭 If you get a chance, I suggest you watch some performances from her Netflix movie of her last world tour. Every single performance was stellar !

I know this comment is really late, but... you aren't just "singer," "teacher," or "youruber;" you're also extremely compassionate and genuine and nice in a way that is so far beyond normal that the word doesn't accurately describe it anymore. You are not just one thing. And you don't have to be perfect at any of the things.

Allowing yourself as a singer to not be perfect and not basing your entire worth and value as a person on that is something I struggle with SO MUCH. It's refreshing to hear you talk about this!! Thank u!

I wonder where Sam has been!

seeing sam smile almost subconsciously everytime ariana pulls off a beautiful note is such a nice thing to see

I really love how psychological empowering especially this video is! Thank you so much, this is what a really good voice teacher should work with in my opinion. :) For me, realising this stuff a few years ago gave me a lot convidence and actually then helped to improve my singing, because i practiced more casual without mental pressure.

You are easily the best of the 'vocal teacher reacts' genre on KZfaq. Love your analyses.

I don't comment much, but just wanted to say we love you and you're more than just a singer. Just a wonderful person who also enjoys singing. I'd guess I'm not the only one on here who feels like you've helped us in more ways than just singing. Hope everything is going well for you!

I love that head shake in disbelief. That‘s what I always do when I listen to her too! 😂🥰

3 months..all ok? Desperately waiting on reactions here and will be Happier Than Ever for a new upload ❤

Where did you go, Sam?? Come back to us!

Where the heck is Sam?

Ari is so amazing!!!! She has come a long fucking way. She is without a doubt the best singer of her time

"What if you never 'get better'?" Applicable in life in so many ways, every day, when we're trying to to the best we can with what we have in the time we have

Been waiting for thisss, been checking for when this would be upppp

“i think my favorite album was… my everything… *buffering* no it wasn’t”

I appreciate your videos so much Sam, please never stop blessing us with your commentary ❤️

I love how you enjoy making these videos as much as I enjoy watching them :) You're also very honest and not scared to share more personal things. I really appreciate it and learn a lot from you!

i love how you talk about the singers on your channel! ♥ she is truly talented

I've been watching your videos for a while now...I just wanted to stop and say how much a truly enjoy how much you love music, singing and artistry! You're a gift of this platform!

I always love your commentary, you’re one of the only content creators I hear really emphasize the emotion of singing. Thank you! 💕

I’ve been waiting for this.

Where did you go

I had fun watching her performance, but it was even more fun watching you enjoying that performance! I feel the SAME WAY about singers just singing what they want to, I connect so much to people that just sing in a way that really connects them to their emotions.

This is such a unique and beautiful vocal analysis. I love the emotional speeches, it really connected with me and inspired me (especially the connection over perfection speech by the end.) the way you put my thoughts into words is stellar!!! 💗 love your content xx

sam i have never watched one of ur videos without taking something away from it. appears extremely helpful and fun. thank u

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

Thank you for another great video Sam! Always a pleasure to spend time with you and hear your thoughts :)

Can we get a Chloe Bailey “feeling good” analysis?

Your commentary around 13 min was gorgeous- thanks for recognising x

I found this channel yesterday and I haven’t stopped watching the videos since.

Thank you so much Sam for your vulnerability and opening up about imperfection. You are beautiful the way you are!

Always enjoy watching your reactions, Sam. You're constructive and observant. Also agree with you that Ariana makes singing seem sooooo effortless. What a talent!

The way Sam tilts his head with the camera view is everything hahahahahaha

Yes I really liked her 2013-2016 songs more than 2018-2020 in general but My Hair & POV are so good

Your love for music seeps in your sincere and genuine commentary ❤

What a lovely analysis!

Ariana sings live, always, and doesn't need any effects or tricks to sound like she does, which is amazing.

OH MY GOD. That mini-lecture you gave about how you get 'two different voices' to sound compatible with each other should be written in a Vocal Bible somewhere. Amazing advice! THANK YOU.

I have never been so quick to click and watch.

please react to Ariana's new performance of 'my hair' next 😭 girl sang a whole chorus in whistle notes

love that you've talked about the grit on the high note

Well ariana posted 2 videos in her youtube channel singing and arranging her vocals in the studio for her song positions sooo sick we would love to see your reaction about it im sure you’ll get impressed she is such a musical genius

he is so cute i love ariana so much but this guys reaction is just so adorable it melted my heart. he is adorable. precious.

yaaaas another upload!

Yes Sam!! I hope you are doing well, I’ve missed your videos lately.

i have also wondered about her prep too - i love her so much what a talent

I think it's a vocal masterpiece that should go viral

When Ariana hits those high notes she makes it looks so easy but when you try hitting it your voice cracks-

I love your reactions sm ❤️

I love what you say throughout the video. It’s more than a “voice teacher reacts” video. Greetings 🖤

Thanks for another video!!

THANK TOU FOR DOING THIS VIDEO ENJEHEIEJE

Its really nice hearing someone that places similar hooks on a song like Mariah Carey.....love this

you can tell she put out work every month and non stop working hard. Last year, she released 2 albums and it proved that she is working everyday.

i recommend you to watch The Voice. Behind the scenes while working with her team, you will see her preparations, her techniques whatsoever. It’s really cool to hear from her directly.

oh boy this was such a fantastic video! thanks a lot for this! now pleeeease react to her performance of Hair

Please check out Rina Sawayama's Tiny Desk concert! She only just came out with her first album last year, and she's fantastic.

love your shirt sam♥️♥️

Sam, you and Ariana are both beautiful singers! (We wanna hear you sing!) I was singing Ariana this morning when I saw this video pop up in my feed lolol. She really is so consistent. I hope she continues to have the same kind of success she has had with her voice.

Oh you made me love, accept and understand my voice a little bit more ❤️

Thanks for the therapy session! The music stuff was cool too. 😉

Love the song, love your reaction.

Are you ok? It’s been 2 months😭

Miss you Sam!! Hope all is well! ❤

Hey man I saw you comment on the Orange Underground youtube channel and I must say that I agree with you fully.

Ariana goes above and beyond practicing at getting better and making sure she knows her songs inside and out. (Partly because when she started out she forgot her lyrics and stuff a lot) she does sing all day everyday and knows her stuff so well ❤️she also always sings live and is passionate about that and she says her fans expect her to be live and she is live. Her bands that have gone on tour with her have said that they haven’t ever seen a singer like ariana singing live every single night for over 200 shows lol. Love her! And agreed, I miss the live and not super auto tuned which makes ari so much better live. I LOVE Olivia Rodrigo for not being auto tuned because it’s so refreshing to hear her perfect voice

Great video!

Flawless voice

love your t shirt!

God bless you Sam. Thank you for acknowledging this singer....Ariana has a special range.

I just discovered your channel and IM OBSESSED. you give me so much positive energies and your videos actually help my anxiety for some reason so thank you so much for that

love your videos!!! also love your shirt! i have the same one! 🖤

Her abilities are amazing, as well as her ability to immulate other voices

Nice video! Nice Shirt! Props 🙏🏽

We know you are an awesome guy...and we love your shirt too😭😭❣❣

Another great video. Love the shirt. Did I catch sight of a bandage on your thumb? I hope all is well! 💝

I LOVE YOUR SHIRT😭😭😭

i really liked what you said, thank you coach

Love your shirt❤️

13:02 is so well said n what i adore in ariana when she sings !!

Dude if you ever get bored of being a vocal coach you could be a life coach! You have the healthiest, most empathetic outlook 💖
