There's a song that's

inside of my soul,

man. Whoever mixes these performances,

chef's kiss on her voice, her the the

the quality of her voice, like I this is

this is kind of the same thing as when

people say to a photographer, "Oh my

god, your photos are so beautiful. What

kind of camera do you have?" So, what

I'm getting at is it's not that I'm I'm

you obviously know that I love her voice

and she's an amazing vocal technician

and artist, but I will just say these

vocals whoever know whoever captures

these performances knows how to capture

the voice and especially her voice.

Yeah, it it sounds like caramel

like it's delicious vocals.

Actually, all instrumentation is mixed

well. I've tried to write over and over

again. No, like send me the patch. Like

tell me this whatever this patch is. I

want my voice run through this patch as

well. Actually, I feel like there's a

flavor in here sometimes that I hear in

Kelly

Clarkson's mixes. There's something on

her voice

that man, it's delicious.

[Music]

You know this song only hope? Yes by

Mandy Moore from that one. I didn't see

that big song in the

Philippines over again.

So I lay my head back

[Music]

down and I lift my hand and

pray to be only yours. I pray to be only

yours. I know now you're my

only hope.

Oh, that's See, I told you like rock. Is

that what you're Yeah. Like this song is

not rocket like her back. No, that's her

thing. No, that's her thing. She spins

everything and sometime Well, usually we

like it every once in a while. No, I

really like the the original version's

very soft. Of course. Of course. Manny

Moore. Manny Moore. Of course. But she

has she I mean there's many many many

flavors to her voice, but she does favor

using this like edgier edgier thing. So

I feel like sometimes when they do

production choices or style choices,

they do lean into places that give her

an opportunity to really pull her edge

out vocally. Absolutely.

One of the

stars of your galaxy.

[Applause]

Yeah, this sounds full out like a like a

Paramore. Paramore. Paramore. Paramore.

Yeah, we've said that before. I I think

she likes Paramore. Paramore. GG. Do you

like Paramore? She's your inspo, right?

Like she's got to be on her list.

Totally. She's got to be on her list.

But she should be on Paramore's list,

too. What's her name?

Haley. My screen not ups.

[Applause]

[Music]

There we go. What? Haley Williams. Yeah.

[Music]

So I am my head. back

down and I lift my hand and

pray to

be like she do you like it? I really

like Have you guys heard the original

version? Yes. It's a very famous song. I

haven't, but I guarantee you she's she's

changing the vowels even to be like

edgier vowel shapes. Yes. The very first

time she sang this chorus like the

pretty one that is more Mandy Moore like

she incorporated that I know Mandy Moore

from

last and it's

like yeah super

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

princessy I

know you're

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Which one of these do you think is the

band leader? It's often the piano

player, right? Like it it just often is

the piano player in a band. Like who do

you think creates these guitarists? It

could be could be could be. Who do you

who do you think's the band leader? Who

do you think creates these? Like cuz

this is composing. I Yeah, cuz these are

completely I mean all of these musicians

are skilled enough to to some to some

degree to work on the fly, but I think

these are pretty pretty well executed.

Oh yeah. Uh I feel like I can't tell I

can't tell they're maybe they

collaborate, but like I just love them.

This is a really really solid bunch of

musicians. They're so talented. Yeah.

Honestly, you guys, this this um remake

is so fully fleshed out. Yeah. That for

someone who doesn't know the original

song, apparently the odd one out in this

room. This is this I can see this being

an original. Like this could be the

song. This is how well it's baked. All

instruments parts are excellent.

says that the band's musical direction

is led by John Cruz, who acted as the

musical director and keyboardist.

He's just so funny. I just Yeah, he's

great. So, I'm assuming this guy, right,

Hoody McGee. Love him. McGee. He's just

always making really fun faces. Like,

he's You know what? I also thought it

was him because he's so playful, which

he's just confident. He's just confident

in such a great way. Yeah. Yeah.

[Music]

Okay. The guitar player is pretty

confident, too,

but he's pretty functional, too. Yeah.

[Applause]

Yeah. I give you my

destiny. Just destin.

giving you all of

me. I want your

symphony. Singing all that I

am at the top

of what is

okay. Like I'm trying to just get a

little I can't make it just be a little

just more focused even. Yeah,

[Music]

I always make everything really wide.

God, that's overdriven beautifully.

Beautiful. Beautiful grit.

[Music]

So I lay my head back

down and I lift my head to

pray to be only yours. I pray to be only

yours. I pray to be only yours.

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

If I don't hear it like that, moving on.

Like I don't want it. I don't want it

anymore. That's freaking cool. Whole

arrangement. Holy crap. Arrangement.

Bravo to Bravo to the whole band. Bravo

everybody. Wonderful.

If you're looking to figure out how to

add grit or distortion to your vocals,

here's something you can do to locate

the sweet spot in your voice. The little

section of notes where it's easiest and

your voice is most suited to push into

that overdrive place. I want you to

pretend you're calling your friend

across the street and you need to get

their attention. And you're going to

say, "Hey." And then I want you to check

what note it sits on. Let's see.

Hey, that's sitting on a D5. So, I know

that that's kind of in the center of the

spot for me. That's easy to push into

and lean into. Hey. Hey. Do you hear

that grit? I give it a little extra

juice and I hug into the center. It's

kind of a sensation that your body is

familiar with because it happens

sometimes when we yell, right? Hey. Hey.

When we're really leaning in, but you be

gentle. Gentle.
