Make it a little bit nasally-er instead of *in a dull, flat voice* slow, which kind of like dulls itself out
See you guys like, *vocal demonstration*
Instead of this *duller vocal demonstration*
It gets stuck. Yo, what's good 'Tristans' and 'Tristfam'?
Today I'm gonna be wearing a cute little crown because we gonna be talking about sister Queen James
Charles and his cover of God is a woman. Now, look I wasn't even gonna talk about this cover
Look, I didn't know if I was gonna talk about this cover because it it's been a little bit - it's been controversial
I think people have been giving James like way too much of a hard time over this cover and I think that's really unfair
But I did manage to catch him on snapchat talking about the cover
and so that kind of made me feel like okay, I think we should talk about this for a bunch of different reasons, but
Look before we get started, be sure you check out my website, 'You can sing anything' - 'youcansinganything.com'
I am a singing teacher. I do teach singing lessons online, every single day. Also down
In the description, links to my vlog channel, cover channel, twitch, discord. It's a singing discord, by the way
we have a lot of different singing teachers on there and
Amazing singers like singers who are way better than anything
I could ever be. Be sure you check out that discord. Also links to my Patreon down in the description. On that patreon you can
Have your singing or viewed in both video and written format, help you improve. Let's get started
We're gonna check out some of the things that James Charles has to say about his cover
He'd be uploaded a snapchat story responding to his haters and talking about his voice and stuff like that
Which I think is interesting for a number of different reasons and then we're gonna take a listen to his cover
What's even more funny to me is that people love leaving comments as if they're literally fucking Beyonce and the best singer in the world?
When they never are and most of them can not sing themselves, we all know that I'll give them that that's true
it is kind of annoying like when you do get a comment from somebody that is just saying a bunch of things that don't make
Any sense and you know that they don't make sense. That's annoying
I'll give I'll give them that that's super annoying. You probably agree with me on this. It's also helpful
it's helpful when people
Leave comments and tell you things that you can improve even if they're not correct because it's a good way of knowing where you are
If that makes sense
It's like you can look at it and you can decide for yourself if it's valid criticism are not valid criticism. So
I don't know. I agree and I disagree with James Charles on this see that cover was not
live it was pre-recorded duh
Everyone's covers always are yeah, and he's right by the way almost everyone's covers are pre-recorded. Like he's right
That's a little bit of a YouTube secret for you. Almost everybody's covers on YouTube are pre-recorded most of the big channels
They pre-recorded least college boys saying this note was wrong her. That sounds bad. That part was incorrect
gotcha, actually because it's not I
Will let you know on the inside scoop
The industry standard program is called Melodyne and it is very expensive
but I paid for it for my covers and for
Flashback when we were releasing physics tell and you can literally go in and correct every single note. So I'll give you the inside scoop
Despite what every single comment may think there's a single note in that cover that is wrong. Every single now is perfectly on pitch
There's one the sharp or flat because I went in and corrected every single one
No my tone on a few of the notes may be a little bit off because okay
So this is where I've got a stop sister over here sisters being a little bit
What's the word just say sisters being delusional is fine. You know, what for a vocal coach your pitch isn't very good. Either Queen cat
Look, everybody's thing is off notes every berry. There's pitch pitches off all the time with even the best singers in the world
it's so humbling when you listen to like Demi Lovato sing live and like she's nailing everything and then all of a sudden there's like
A slightly flat note. Does that mean that Demi Lovato doesn't have a great voice? No. It doesn't Demi Lovato is amazing
But there's a flat note there and it doesn't really it doesn't matter because people are normal human beings and people make mistakes
Let's just listen to the cover. Let's just get started on the cover
We spent too long not talking a lot in listening to the cover. Let's take a listen
Not only that I want to do some glam for you guys, but I also felt like it'd be a really really fun
It says this is inspired by sister Ariana to also do some sister singing. So ariana, sweetie. I'm sorry in advance
Once again that but let's jump right in
And james, sister i have been trying to-to help you
Give it but you know I'm snapping right now
I've been trying to help you out with these notes here for a long time now and
For you to even come out and say that these notes are not even they're not there that there's nothing wrong with them
There's a single note in that cover that is wrong every single that is perfectly on pitch the sharp or flat
I'm not saying that I'm perfect. You can go through them all my videos just as well and point out all my flaws
And so it you could do that and fine whatever nobody's perfect. But
This is something that I went to school for
That know you is very clearly flat and it's flat because you're not allowing any nasal airflow to take place in this little section here
You it's just getting stuck in your mouth you
it's not even like ah, I
Feel like James Charles you're treating that note like it's a high note for you and it is not a high note for you you
Can sing that note so much easier
But when is all is said and done, you'll believe god is a woman
And the next thing the next thing I need to say is this I'm not an expert vocal producer or anything like that
But you're singing way too close to whatever the hell that thing is. I don't know if that's a mic
I don't know what that is, but you're singing too close to it
And we're hearing you go and it just doesn't you can't that doesn't work. You got it
You got a step away from that thing that I know this because I've done I've made those mistakes as well and I'm again
I'm not the best vocal
I'm not the best producer out there or anything like that, but I can hear that and it it's too much
And this isn't to say that James Charles doesn't have some good covers
I have talked about all of his covers that I think are amazing
But every once in a while something like this does happen and if I just I just I'm just trying. You'll believe god is a woman
And James those runs
Do you okay?
Anybody that wants to learn how to do runs my runs I think are okay
I'm good at knowing what is good about my voice? And what's bad about my voice? I can do runs pretty pretty pretty decently
That run you have to slow it down you can't just cant find my one
You have to know what the notes are that you're hitting other wise like and the fact that you said that you went into Melodyne
And there's no off notes
just tells me that you're not paying attention to this stuff and you think that anyone that's saying anything negative or
Comments about it is just being mean but nobody is I'm not trying to be mean, okay
I think that's what you meant to do. And that's and I know how to do that because the notes are can't
cant find my one
you slow it down cant
Find my one
from one or whatever the the lyrics are and this this this issue with these runs comes up a lot and like this is something
that some I've heard you've nailed these runs before but like
God is a woman
And this you do this run a lot wah-wah
Slow that down woman
You can get these things that's what's frustrating to me
And it's also frustrating that you went on this snapchat Rant and talking about how everything was perfect
I don't know why that's frustrating to me maybe and again, let me just throw this out one more time
I'm not trying to be I'm not making this video because I'm perfect or anything that I do is perfect or that any of my
Singing is perfect. There's definitely tons of criticism that people can give about my singing and they do trust me they do
But that doesn't mean that there aren't like things that are that could be fixed here
Although, I don't know what you're doing with your tongue. I just don't
I don't mind this part at all. This is pretty this is this is decent
my one
when all is said and done, you'll believe god is a woman
and I
I feel it after
Midnight. I feeling that you can't fight my
one
Don't this right here
But then that run comes in and it almost like it's so annoying how this happens
But you can have a pretty decent line and then do a run. That is just I
Have so many friends that are like this. This is why it gets to me. I have so many friends
What?
Not you, baby. I'm talking about Gregg
You can do you have some amazing high notes
I know someone who could they just you can have amazing high notes everything amazing, but then have a run that's know
And then it just ruins everything that you did before it. This is frustrating because this could have been such a good cover
This could have been a good cover
That was good
That was not bad to again, but the the only thing that I want from you
sister, I just still want a little bit more nasal airflow and a little bit more presence in your voice because your voice likes to
lets take it it just loves so huh go into this breathy thing and sort of like a doled out sound
instead of slow
sound that you have you could do something you could just do something different and make it pop like
Make it a little bit nasally, er instead of slow
Which kind of like who doles itself out slow?
see how its like oohh instead of ehh
Instead of this. Oh
It gets stuck and I'm not saying that and by the way
It's I know some people are gonna I'm not saying that what I did was perfect
What I'm saying is that we could that James could just make an adjustment and it would sound so much better
You get stuck how I want it it
You can get a little bit more in and just a little bit of that from the rest and boy if you confess you might get blessed
i keep on flourishing and he's the universe but i'm in company it all in me
We're getting it he's getting it better here than there was in the game
you love it how I touch you
my one
when all is said and done you'll believe god is a woman
I
Don't know
If the voice lessons that this is a sort of an outdated idea and I don't know if this is what James is being told
or what but
There's this idea when in singing that you need to keep like a golf ball in the back of your throat
This is like an opera thing because with opera who
You kind of want that golf ball a sound and I feel like that's what he's doing for some reason
And I
That's what happens if I keep the golf ball in my throat, but you don't have to do that like that
Just keep that just prevents any of the sound from coming
Racing up and coming up a little bit higher into your nose and getting somewhat of a brighter more present tone
And those runs man
Wooman
That ruins everything that you did that was good
It just ruins it everything that all the good stuff that you're doing with your voice is just it doesn't wit when you have that
Run that you haven't worked on and it just it makes everything else before it. That was good
not sound
Good because people just hear that the end of a phrase is what people hear and what they remember at the end of your phrase
and I know this because I fuck up the end of phrases all the time if you fuck up your end the end of your
Phrase, it doesn't matter how beautiful the rest of the phrase was. It'll sound. Most people will come away from that with hmm
That was weird
You're too close to the mic I
mean I it's impressive that you were able that you're able to get to those high notes like you're too close to the mic and
Needs to be more nasally instead of see you believe you believe
God
And then just when were done, you'll believe god is a woman
Okay, there were some really good parts in that, oh my god, this is too hot oh, it's hot it's hot
There were some good parts in that and I'm afraid of uploading this sorry James
I know that you're worried about people pleading hate on your covers or like hate on your singing
but I'm trying to just help a little bit so that that hate doesn't
Keep coming so that you can fix a lot of the things that maybe people are upset about I mean, I don't again
I agree with you
I don't know why they get so upset or why they care so much
but unfortunately they do and so there are things that I've been hearing in your voice ever since I started analyzing it that
Could be addressed and that could be fixed. You would just sound amazing ten times better
If you just made some small adjustments in the way that you're singing
That's an end it and that isn't to say that you don't have some good covers
I know you have a lot of really good covers and I've definitely gotten into those covers
It's sad to me when somebody is when you upload that snapchat story
I just got upset personally upset me because there are things that we could fix and that could be
Improved and I just want to see that happen. Yeah
Because I don't want you to get upset I don't want anyone to get upset
I don't want singers to be upset until next time triststans and tristfams. Check out my website
