Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I got quite a few requests for this. Ken
would you please do Floor Jansen doing "Shallow" on Best Singers. So it's a TV
show in the Netherlands I believe if I'm not
mistaken. I have to look it up but um so but I want to make a couple little side
note points to this. Now I think I covered this in one of my videos already
the song "Shallow" is a really interesting piece because as you guys know Lady Gaga
is the up-and-comer and she's the star that's gonna be born and you got Bradley
Cooper who's the star who's bringing her up and so there's this dynamic of her
being the shy one and oh no not me am I gonna come out and sing it and when
you see them do it live and Lady Gaga is the actual real star in real life and
Bradley Cooper's being brought up to sing and he's the shy one and it's really
kind of. So it's an opposite.. it's strange bedfellow its exact opposite of the
Star Is Born movie relative to a live thing. So we're gonna watch Floor do it
now. Now I did do a reaction on Floor and I did do a reaction on Tarja to turn in
and I want to bring this up because Tarja actually does a killer
version that I did a reaction to on Phantom of the Opera and I know that
Floor just did one with Hank Port on the same show. So if you haven't seen
that I encourage you to look it up because they did a pretty killer job on
that too so a lot of good music floating around from these guys so with that said
let's go ahead and react to best singers and "Shallow" and Floor Jansen and so here we
go.
Very sensitive.
Good control.
Beautiful river vibrato. So instead of you know (sings)
you know as the original comes out, she's treating it very ginger
which is really ironic coming back from a band like Nightwish which is a
really heavy you know I don't wanna say metal band but yeah symphonic band so she's.
She's so sensitive on it which is cool man it
shows it showcases a different side of her that's very unique to rock singers
especially in this instance.
Lot of air (sings)
Very emotive, a lot of emotion.
I can really feel it in my heart.
By the way I don't I don't usually get that. I'm not one of these placating
guys that's always gonna go oh that's so awesome, everything's so awesome, you're awesome. You know
no if there's something that's not cool I say it's not cool but
she's got a beautiful vibrato, beautiful control, very sensitive, very sexy in her
voice and I'm very engaging to say the least so I'm impressed this is cool.
She must be singing to this chick or something cause she changed the lyrics to girl.
Good control man, good mixed voice too.
Good pitch.
Little soul there.
They're like (sings) good mixed voice coming back down as she lands. She comes
back into a chest resonant sound and she goes back up into head voice you know
she's sticking it pretty good Lady Gaga you got a little run for your money
there with ole Floor baby going on.
Little mixed voice.
So she's able to go in and out of chest and head mix which is really hard to do
up that high and still keep it really emotional and really sensitive and she's
got great control, adds a little air when she wants, cuts back the air when
she's not using it anymore which is great.
This kid's crying.
Good note choices.
It's nice.
She's breaking out the Nightwish chops now.
Ok now she breaks into like a Bel Canto (sings) I'm over-exaggerating that but
she's breaking into some of her opera chops too so she went after the pop
thing, she did a lot of the mixed voice stuff, some of the rock stuff. She brought
in some of the you know the the cool Floor Jensen you know symphonic stuff
that she does in Nightwish, then a little bit of the opera stuff that she does in
Nightwish and she's breaking out you know, pulling out all the stops breaking out
with a bunch of different stuff it's really cool.
Beautiful. Good job, Floor
Alright Lady Gaga I'm sorry to say this but I think she beat you at your
own game. I know that you're responsible for the song and the songwriting parts
of it and whatnot but I think she smoked you. I really do she just really threw
down and and I was more engaged in the lyric of the song. Now one of the things
that I loved that Floor is doing also is though she's got some licks going on,
she's changing some note choices, she's changing the emotion of the song in and
out so she goes from piano to Forte and back to piano which is like soft to loud and
back and whatnot. I never feel like she's overdoing it to where I get lost in her
calisthenics of singing. I feel like you know she's bringing me along for the
ride at every turn and she's not overdoing it at all. She's really staying
in the moment of the song which is hard to do. It's hard to show off and not look
like you're showing off basically. So anyway let's continue, here we go.
Oh that was it okay.
That was cool.
Yeah guys wow awesome. You know I have a singing course
it's called How to Sing Better Than Anyone Else so we talk about all this
stuff, we talk about mixed voice, we talk about chest voice. We don't just
