Watching people get excited about lp is my kink

Before I watched her singing I thought I was 100% straight

This was the first LP song I ever heard and I was so moved by it that I sat in my car for a few minutes and cried. I knew my mom, who had died about a year and a half before, would have loved this song and this singer too and it was hard to know that I couldn’t share this with her. I emailed LP to tell her how deeply I was touched by her amazing singing and about my mom. I never expected her to answer, but if there was a chance that she could hear how her music made me feel, I felt I owed her that much. SHE EMAILED ME BACK. She said her beloved mother was also gone but that maybe our moms were both in heaven singing together. Moral of the story-not only is LP an amazing vocalist, she is also a kind, humble, beautiful, good human.

Watch her whistle and you’ll know she has incredible breath control.

This woman is a gift from the music gods to make life suck less. She was raised in an opera home and has learned to use vocalizations to make her music more intriguing. I would recommend watching other videos because she does this effortlessly. I am going crippled and literally will ALWAYS try to find a seat or hang onto a barricade to hear her perform live. Ive not loved a voice this much since Freddie Mercury.

I'm so glad she's finally getting recognition, she's pretty amazing and she's a composer, she's written songs for Rihanna and the Backstreet Boys, she's been around for a looong while.

"I've never really heard a singer like this" Can relate

I've seen her show live twice, trust me when I say she sounds just as good if not better than recording.

Also would like to add that her mom was a classically trained opera singer and that she is super aware of what she’s doing with her voice. I would recommend looking into some of her other performances to really get a good grasp of her capabilities.

Excuse me whilst I go listen to everything this artist has ever put out.

Her neck tension is just pure emotions! Her love, loss, everything! It’s her passions manifested

I might be wrong. But I think the collapsing, is part of the story she’s telling. Emphasizing the crushing emotions of heartbreak.

Do we have LP fans?

I've been obsessed with LP lately, so this made me ridiculously happy.

I heard this song at a casino while I was peeing.. 😗 I sat there through the entire song because I wanted to memorize some lyrics and find the song later on. And yes, I just found it today 😂

I am 40 years old. I never thought I would find a new favorite artist in the music industry. I heard lost on you about a week ago. I bought the album (vinyl). I aim to be LP's biggest fan.

Sam Johnson's first reaction face, reacting for every person who has yet to hear the absolute uniqueness of LP's voice.

Well, I guess I'm bi now. She's gorgeous.

LP definitely knows what she’s doing. Everything she does with her voice in this video is a choice. She’s a true vocal enigma.

7:43 sings:"Lets raise a glass". He raises a glass

Can we just replace the revolving door of judges on The Voice with Sam Johnson? But seriously.

This is awesome. I had the pleasure of seeing LP perform live once, her voice and music is so cool and very consistent. Thank you for this video.

Dude, she's singing with emotion --- her breath isn't "collapsing" --- she's illustrating the hit-in-the-stomach pain of one-sided relationship.

Vocal coach here. I have been to several of her concerts. Her technique seems to be near perfect. Yes, she has some tensions here and there, but she seems to be aware of them because they are always fallowed by relaxation. She sings through a concert with same quality as she has on her records if not better. Her voice also did not seem to get tired.

OK. Every day I think Sam Johnson is great and I am learning about music for the first time in my life thanks to him. But music knowledge and enjoyment of his positive critiques are the only things that Sam has brought to my life really. Then...BONUS! I realize I am exposed to artists who I would never have accidentally come across in the genres that I usually listen to. I am going to seek out more music by LP thanks to Sam! 😄

@samjohnson she’s been performing like this since the 90s she’s not a new singer she’s just getting a broader following now :) her mother was a classically trained opera singer too!

I've gone to 2 of her concerts and I bought tickets for a third. she sounds flawless at every performance. I'm absolutely in love with her music. and her everything else

Hello voice teacher, I am mexican and I am really amazed by your speaking: your voice is really clear and your pronunciation is such easy to understand that I feel eager to continue with the english class.

Lmao my boyfriend looks so much like her, which makes me attracted to her even more 😹

At first I thought LP was a dude and was really impressed by his vocal range. But then I've realised that she's a woman and I was impressed even more 😂 I love her. Ps: Sam, your eyes are a whole being standing on its own. Thanks

Her cover of “Halo” is truly something to behold. I would like to add that she’s been around for a while, so I think her voice is probably fine. I’ve seen her live and the sound she gets out of her tiny body is incredible.

She is our queen! ❤️ She is amazing!🙈 Muddy Waters, Recovery, When We’re High, Tokyo Sunrise, Girls Go Wild, Other People, Free to Love😍 If you look on this channel you can see her live performances! Please react to Dreamer! It’s a new song but it’s AMAZING!

If I didn't already know I was bisexual she would have been my awakening lol

I’ve been listening to her for a couple months now and I love that she’s getting the recognition she truly deserves. She’s got such a unique tone, I don’t believe I’ve heard a song from her yet that I didn’t like!

I remember the time, I first saw Laura performing. I instantly fell in love with her. She gave me the strength, do be comfortable with my sexuality. She has something really mysterious, which is so cool. I love her so much

In conclusion, her singing is a pure art

EVERYTHING LP does sounds interesting. Kind of wish you had chosen "Into the Wild" instead of this one. Or "Tokyo Sunrise". LP is a hell of great whistler as well.

Although LP's style of music isn't really my taste I heard her live and I was completly blown away by her voice. She also sang this song and let me tell you it doesn't show all the "particularities" of her voice. Can someone be a "fan" of an artist just for the voice 😂???

LP has healed the pain that the loss of Bowie left. I love her sound!

I had never heard of LP before this video. I'm now a huge fan, so thank you, Sam. She's just SO GOOD.

Watching teach Sam fall in love with LP, whom I'm already in love with. Magic!!

Was blessed to see her live...she is amazing. She maintained the high notes and the intensity for freaking two hours...I don't know how she does it and still is able to talk the next day. Was blown away. It did not feel like she was trying to be careful or preserve her voice.. it's like she literally gave it all to the audience..and then do that again next day as she was on a tour...just amazing

My underwear is on the floor with her. I never been so confused about my heterosexuality

I love this song. We went on a road trip around Eastern Europe and we knew whenever we were close to Poland because this song was ALWAYS on every Polish radio station for the whole two weeks.

Switchblade and Tightrope 💗💗💗 I never hear anyone mention those songs but they’re two of my favorites.

This is exactly what i wanted to see!!

You should definitely do more her song cause her vocals are insane especially at live performances

This is one of the best songs ever written and sang and LP is a fantastic craftswoman and performer. Glad she's getting the attention she deserves.

I have to admit, I wanted you to have the same sort of reaction I had when I saw a guy singing like a girl. But ever since I heard this one song I've been hooked on her ever since. Kinda wish you had touched on her whistling during your review, but I think you were talking or distracted every time she whistled. She is also a song writer and has written songs for cher, Rihanna, Backstreet boys, and Christina Aguilera

I love LP so much! Her style is so interesting to me. I instantly fell in love with her when I heard Tokyo Sunrise live for the first time.

One of the people who made me be positive I'm Bisexual. She is absolutely gorgeous and that voice...

When Laura sings, it's all her soul poured into every noted word.

YES!!!!!!!!! Thank so SO much for reacting to LP. Her voice is so, so unique and wonderful to listen to. Reminds me a touch of Edith Piaf in places, but certainly one of a kind.

LP is so unique ♥

Saw her in a small bar in Cleveland Ohio when she opened for a local band. She sang “I’m Goin’ Nowhere”. I fell in love with her. She’s a tiny but mighty power house. I’m so glad she has become huge. She deserves every bit of success that comes her way. Love, love her. ❤️❤️❤️

I prefer her life sessions actually, she's so raw, unique and beautiful that any kind of processing is just... unnecessary

Never clicked on a video so fast

I love LP voice so much! It's very unique, and she has such amazing control over it! Please react to Scott Hoying and Mario Jose's cover of this song next! They mashed it up with a piece by Hans Zimmer, and it gives it a more dramatic and epic feel.

LP - Muddy Waters [Live Session] if you wanna know the truth.

2024 here. She is such an underated singer, she definitely should be known world wide, wld love to see her in New Zealand 🇳🇿

This was very interesting. I've never heard of her before, but at the end I was already singing along to the song. I think her voice is very unique, i really loved it. Btw, loved your phrase "to slap the face of tradition", i find it really useful in my work, so i'm gonna use it.

She has real unique and beautiful voice I recommond you to react to forever for now I believe that's one of her best songs

LP has one of the greatest female voices, recorded or live she sounds the same and it's awesome.

LP is the best singer in the world! This queen is better live thar recorded! Ti amo LP

Sooooo excited that you are looking at LP. LOVE this song and her. Ahh I’m so excited to watch this 😂😂😂

She has a very unique sound! Kinda liked it. P.S. I FINALLY figured out how to connect to discord last night! 👍 Hoping to interact with some people there soon as it seems like a pretty cool place to hang out.

I was waiting for him to get to the part of her going super high 😎 that’s what got me

Well my man, she is 38 so I think she has found her right "sound" without hurting her voice lol.

Omg I've been waiting so long for this

I was floored the first time I heard this song so was chill to watch your analysis of it. P.S. You look gorgeous with this length haircut and facial hair!

His reaction from 11:00 to 11:16 !! 😂 He just gets completely lost in LPs performance 😁

I remember seeing her live and just being in awe with how and how clear her voice can get. There are songs of hers in which she sounds like she is reaching whistle notes.

I begged for this and I am so happy it happened. She is my fav singer and her operatic training I think what makes her voice so amazing. Recovery is also great and a different sound. Dude check out her whistling. It is creepy awesome

Have you ever heard Postmodern Jukebox? They have A LOT of singers who are incredible. Morgan James, Hayley Reinheart, Puddles Pity Party, Mario Jose... I'd like to watch you reacting to them.

I loved this video. I particularly liked that you didn't know her so you were sincere and honest with every comment. What I especially like is that her voice is so different but sweet at the same time and that makes you really feel what she is feeling. For me, that's what music is all about... feelings that get to you bones, and that voice, even a capella, does that for me. Greetings from Costa Rica!! 👍

Lp is my wife. In my imagination. Listen to muddy waters! That one MOVES me.

This is becoming my daily routine, Sam! Keep it up - im learning a ton and loving all the new voices. I really like this singer

Never heard of her before, but I like her very much! You've been very instrumental in helping me add to my playlist. Thanks!

We love your reaction to LP!! Her sound is unique and one of the reasons we love her! Thank you! 💚

Watching him reacting like this to her singing fills my heart with joy.

You're basically the only thing that makes me want to even look at the internet nowadays. 💗💗💗 Thank you for a great reaction video to a great artist. I think it's phenomenal to have the opportunity to introduce people to so many different types of music and talent that they may have never been exposed to otherwise. I love broadening my horizons for what good music sounds like.

Thanks for this!! I love her sound and I’ve always wondered, from a technical perspective, if this unique sound is a sustainable thing for her. Great analysis.

Just heard this song a week ago and was instantly in love. Such an amazing sound. Played it over and over since.

Watching this again a few months later, I still appreciate what you had to say here so much and I want to hear you look at more of her music!

So glad you reacted to LP. I have loved her sound for a long time and it’s great to hear your opinion. Especially in this video it sounds super easy but it looks hard. Thank you Sam!!

I love how he doesn't waste time and go for the video 😂

I love watching your videos and analysis! They are unbiased yet entertaining!

I've literally been waiting for this video!!!

Lp is my absolute favorite artist! She's incredible! You should due more lp reviews!

Her live performance on the Conan show was the best. She's got such a unique voice which send shivers down my spine!

Yey!! I sent u an e-mail to review this song, so happy you got to it, she’s such a unique singer, great notes on her technique ❤️

im so happy you did this video. i’ve been a fan of her music and voice for a long time now and im glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves!!!!

I like this song more and more each time I hear it

Can we take a momente to appreciate Sam's eyebrows?? They're the perfect ones for a man. Okay, just had to say it. 😌

I've been waiting for this for so long!!!

Yay! That was one of my suggestions! Thank you for this!

NO JOKE, you should react to the singing part Will Ferrell does at the end of the movie Stepbrothers

Is everyone questioning their sexuality or just me ?

I'm not a singer myself, but I'm a big fan of vocal coach videos and I have to say that Sam probably has the best all around vocal reactions. Always a nice balance between generous and critical, always lots to learn and discover too, and I never feel like he is pretending or faking. Also love the supportive and encouraging attitude he exhibits toward his audience and the artists he evaluates. Sam, if you are out there, keep up the good work!

The fact that you talk about the importance of notes preceding the high note just SENDS ME. This is so true!!! I love all your videos. I'm currently in school to be a voice teacher/music teacher! I have to say that you are inspirational. I love watching your videos not only because you know what you're talking about, but because they help me refine my own ears as both a singer and teacher. Seeing you talk about literally everything that my own voice teacher has discussed with me is so gratifying. You're awesome, man. I hope you're living your best life.
