Hope somebody knows the difference between the words "Autotune" and "HardTune! 🙄 Autotune - is post performance recording tweaks on vocals with the aim of correcting pitch etc. Hardtune- is a peri-live vocal effects which includes "autotune" sounding robotic hardtuned reverb (also called T-Pain or Cher effect) among others i.e. TC Helicon Voice Live You seem to imply that the whole song was autotuned. FYI, the Hardtune (which you called autotune 🤣) on the INTRO is a creative embellishment for artistic purpose. It was superimposed (that is why it is "too obvious") to catch audience attention. The rest of the song is normal voice. I don't know if you realized that? Oh Well... Ciao! 🙄
Thanks for setting this guy straight. I hope he learns to refine his musical knowledge, so that it isn't intended to find fault in an artist's contribution. I sure hope he regrets that unflattering comment.
I couldn't disagree with you more about the use of the autotune/talkbox. I freaking love it. She's not using it because she needs it, she's using it as artistic license. Her voice is amazing. I understand why some people might automatically discredit her for using the effect but she's not trying to mask a weak voice with it....she's using it artistically and creatively..and only in the beginning of the song. Check out two other performances of hers to see what her voice can do: Her singing The Hurts You Never Knew on Singer 2018 th-cam.com/video/V7CX7AHgLjg/w-d-xo.html and Roses on Myx: th-cam.com/video/e22eipdHbd0/w-d-xo.html
I like that he is being honest about his thoughts of using auto tune. Only shows that he is really authentic of his reactions. Its just that he took the autotune effect negtively rather than seeing it as an art form to modernize the song and to give it a new taste. T pain uses autotune most on most of his tracks that makes the song interesting. But i guess there are still people who preffered natural voice. Sad, yes but not mad. Still a loyal sub though
Guys, you don't need to keep explaining why she used auto-tune. He understood that. As he mentioned, "It's down to personal taste." If I prefer Android over iOS, I don't want people to keep telling me that iOS is much better. I just prefer what Android has over iOS (Not that it's true. I have both iOS and Android. I'm just making an analogy) That should be the end of it. You must agree to just disagree.
I totally disagree with this guy! that's what KZ separate from singer to artist!!! That intro is fucking unbelievable even TPAIN will get jealous....I guess you can't pls. everybody.
Her intro was to transport you into her musical journey. I thought she used it with the intention of that initial 'wow factor'. Very creative and mind blowing. Her fans know her singing abilities. I consider her intro unique, creative and mystical. By the way I don't consider that vocalization as 'auto tune' Do remember the voice box technique, used by Peter Frampton? It stands out today and that made him a very memorable innovator in musical history. KZ made this her very own cover of an already great song. Others have commented that it's actually better than Adele's original version. KZ'S performance, 'Rolling In The Deep' always gives me those goosebumps and that lump in my throat and there are no descriptive, musical adjectives that can accurately describe those emotional feelings that I get from this energized performance.
If you are looking for something soulful, you can try her SAY SOMETHING in singer 2018.. btw she just used auto tune in the beginning of the song for creativity purposes... but the rest of the perf is her real voice.. 🤗
Yes auto tune po yun beginning. If u want to confirm, visit kayo vlog ni Raffy Calicdan, kaibigan siya ni kz at si kz mismo nag confirm na she used auto tune for creativity purposes
She used autotune on the intro to achieve a robotic effect to catch attention. Not really for pitch correction. Something she openly admits. Surprising isnt it. We always saw autotune as taboo but i think she demonstrated that it can be used for artistic purposes as well. Well thats just my view
RnB Singing Lessons yes it's on the purpose to catch audience attention, the auto tune is only at the intro of the song, the rest are pure vocals. She also used the auto tune effect at the intro on her wish bus rolling in the deep presentation. Kz confirmed that on one of the video blogs It's stated to add confusion and catch viewers attention at the beginning of the song and there we have it, you're been confused and caught your attention. 😊😝✌✌
That's d only performance where KZ used auto tune on d intro. Check her ROYALS' song on Episode 9, Real Gone on Epidode 8 & Farewell song (See U Again) on Episode 10 of China's SINGER 2018 reality contest.
That auto-tune (T-Pain effect) was meant to be heavy and deliberate, to make the voice sound like a sad robot as a creative license and provide a different way of introducing the song. I'm surprised you got hung up on that and treat it as if the singer was somehow cheating.
Autotune stops @ 1:45. All KZ after that. It was exaggerated on purpose for audio effect. That's her style. That's how she rolls. I like it but it's not for everyone. Sometimes it's better to sit back and enjoy the performance rather than to analyze it. Especially with KZ (and performers like her) who doesn't flow with the norm. I like your reaction though. Honest.
Greg RDL I won't believe him for saying that the autotune never been off after the intro for kz already stated the facts. He probably miscalculated some aspects. I like how honest he responds and analyze kz performances but he miscalculated about the autotune is never been off after the intro of that song, for nobody is perfect in term of judging a performance using hearing analysis only and believing that the autotune is impossible to turn off after it used on the intro for kz never will do such a thing as using an autotune for the whole song.
His analytical reaction is what his reaction videos are mostly about. You don't go on telling someone what to do in their channel. And don't even tell me that you're just suggesting. That ain't suggesting bro. You call that IMPOSING. I eat pineapple fruit, but I don't like when they're added in food. Now, you can tell me I'm weird but you don't go telling me, "You should learn to just sit back and enjoy citrusy flavor of pineapple in your pizza." People have different tastes and preferences, you gotta learn to accept that. Side Note to Racheed: Haven't seen you react to KZ's Say Something. I don't know if I missed that. But please do if you haven't yet.
you seemed to have missed the point of her making it obvious for the auto tune to come out differently, it wasn't as if it was set up the way they didn't know it to sound that way but exactly the way it was. That was her artistic approach to the song to catch the attention of everyone as it prepares you for the whole song approach. i noticed you are seemingly not ready for her.
The rap part is in tagalog..the auto tune part in the beggining is intended to catch the attention of the viewer coz she's new in the singer (for Dramatic effect).. u can check her performance in wish bus where she sang the same song. 😊
All of us and the audience, except you, didn't seem to get it. the use of auto-tune in the beginning was on purpose to produce sort of an effect just like in Kanye's music, etc.
I get where you’re coming from with the vocal effects but she used the reverb only in the beginning of the song and I think it was just to add to how many genres she explored in this one song. Pop, rock, reggae, jazz, rap and with the reverb she used in the beginning, techno. I rarely enjoy a performance that’s too reliant on reverb and autotune but I think it works really well here.
Just to add, was also surprised you didn't comment on that part of the intro where she goes "but you played it..you played it.." going up to the high note which she manages to keep straight, going down still straight and having those autotune "curls" right in the end. That is very hard.
The auto tune in the intro was to catch attention to the viewers. All who listened to the entire song love it, since it was different. She sang in her version. All the viewers noticed her creativity as an artist.
The rap was in Pilipino (or Tagalog), not Mandarin. As to the added sound effects at the start of the song, I believe it was meant to somewhat immediately catch the attention of the live audience; unlike the local singers who are obviously known to the public and Jessie J who is already an icon in the music industry, KZ was a total stranger. Hence, the need to get people to see what else she could bring. She went to win that particular episode.
I could be wrong but in one interview she gave, she mentioned that she would do the auto tune sound herself sometimes when singing and this is without the use of autotune/talkbox. It was her doing the autotune sound alike.
It's not autotune, it is a "reverb" or "reverberation". International singing competition like Singer 2018 do not allow autotune. She also had this performance in Wishbus.
Check out her singing from the wish (?) bus, it is a radio station 107.5 maybe. It travels around the Philippines and KZ did this song with no autotuned but some changes to her voice. . It is the same show that Morrissett Amon sang on. I also heard that she uses the effect not to enhance her voice but to add dimension to what she was doing with the song. I've listened to it numerous times and I really like how the whole song was done. Loved the horns!!!!! Thank for your reaction. Great as always.
I so ver like it!...It kinda made me imagine that the voice is coming from the deep blue sea. The blue lights made me sensed the anguish...and anger of being played upon (while she was grunting; followed by her prolonged note while the lights were turning red)...hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...reap what you sow!!!
The aututone is just in the beginningn and that's intentional. Anyways, she sang the song in wish bus. You can have a look. th-cam.com/video/SODqcdRfUsQ/w-d-xo.html
Love watching your analysis. Very insightful and I always feel it comes from an honest place with you, from real experience. For this particular song if it's the very first time hearing KZ, then I can see how folks can overcriticize the autotune. But after knowing KZ and her immense talents, I give her all the license to use whatever she needs to convey her artistry because that is surely where she is different from other singers. KZ is not just a singer, she is an experience! A true artist! Her use of autotune is deliberate in the intro (as she has used before in her prior performance of this song) to bring something different and edgy. For me I will not have it any other way in wanting her to perform this song. I would be disappointed without all her deliberate stylings. Again she is amazing and has the license from me to use whatever she wants in conveying the KZ experience. Don't let the autotune fool ya.
this is a performance for a contest that is not allowed in competitions.it is only for effect purposes in the begenning.try her singing in mandarin the hurts you never knew and see u again.
You were looking for a raw version of her Rolling in the Deep cover. But I don't think there is one. She did the same performance though in the Wish Bus back in 2016, but still using auto-tune there. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/SODqcdRfUsQ/w-d-xo.html
The auto tune in the beginning is done obviously to catch attention since this is her 1st song as a contender in Singer 2018 but the rest are her normal vocals
Yes.... Creative... Indeed.. Combines several genre... Electro pop.. Rnb.. Rock.. Jazz.. Rap... Though she uses auto tune adeptly not overpowering her voice .. Hehe as expected being a purist like you would destract you at first.. Like me too until i keep on watching her performance and understand later her versatility and artistry.. Putting her own interpretation on a song soul fully.. The rap is in tagalog. But she do it too in Chinese and English which is not her native language... She is the female eminem... But if you are looking for her vocal prowess.. Listen to her say something performance which practice in a day.. And likewise her mandarin song which is not her native language.. But thanks really for react/analysis....
In one of her past interviews, she had admitted using auto tune ONLY AT THE BEGINNING of the song for effect like what T-PAIN does but for the REST of the song, it's all hers. She definitely don't need auto tune if you check her others performances on the show.
She used to put auto-tune on the beggining of the song 'Rolling in the deep' to enhance the performance and to put drama on it. You can clearly tell that it can get your attention so fast. And the auto-tune is in the microphone so even if you get a raw video, the auto-tune will be present. You can also watch her Rolling in the deep performance on Wish 107.5 to know that her rendition of the song used to be like that (I mean with auto-tune). Anyways great reaction as always.
Not auto tune but reverb. Different because auto tune corrects her voice reverb is more on echoing vibrations so if you can’t sing it’ll still sound bad. Her singing was perfect and it seemed to build up as the song/performance progressed. Love KZ’s experimentation and layering of different genres.
If i remember it correctly, KZ once broke her vocal cord. I don't know if you could say it something like broke it or scratch it idk. And i adore her for that being able to pass through that challenge and all and become who she is right now 😍😍
And you know what, it wasn't just the elements. She was feeling the song- "and you played it, you played it, to the beat." This a heartache song you know. The persona in the song, as how she portrayed it, was a show of extreme anger and disappointment.
listen to it again. the reverb at the into was deliberate. becuz it was deliberate and obvious, they allowed it. after that, it was just her natural voice. this is a singing competition in China. they're very strict about anyone "cheating".
Paul Nimeno nope , auto tune is only at the beginning. Singer production is not allowing autotune unless for an artistic approach, kz admit that the auto tune is only at the beginning, for this is on a purpose of artistic approach/ the production of the Singer stage and the staff already sow her wish bus presentation of rolling in the deep for they allowing the auto tune at the beginning of he song and rest assured that it is pure vocals without auto tune for the rest of the song.
In the beginning of the song, that is her real voice, that's her robotic voice. She practiced that voice, she's so talented try to watch it in Wish Bus "Rolling in the deep"
Theres no big deal about kz's using auto tune or not, maybe reverb or not! the issue here is how to cover that song and how to perform in front of audience and televiewers in her own style. If the show itself allowed her to used a vocal effects obviously we are not in the position to judge her performance.. FYI the format of that show is concert type and its not a typical voice talent show. Kz used voice effect in the beginning to catch audience attention just like humming in her orher songs. If you don't like KZ's voice effects, I bet you don't listen to either Kenya West, Kid Rock and to some other recording artist who used sound effects.
Dont be upset coach, that autotune she used at the very beginning was just her style of music... If u could check out for her version on the wish bus she used the same style, she always say that in all her interviews :)
Speaking of Jessie J, I recommend reacting plus analyzing her "Singer 2018" performances as well. I think she has advanced and matured really well as a vocalist. Her performances in "Singer 2018" are the best I've ever seen from her. You'd have a blast analyzing her.
@@delpazjaedfebro212 don't be like that you know how much KZ loves Jessie, KZ will not like your attitude if you get rude with a Jessie fan because Jessie is her music influence as well, respect should be default while disrespect should be earned, and you earned that today.
you miss the point. it went over your head. LOL I love how this performance expose people who are thinking outside the box and people who are stuck inside the box. anyway welcome to the present.
Hello Coach!!! Kz is very talented artist she is really a genuine She even knows how to mimic the sound of flute using her mouth please try to watch and react " Kyla, Yeng, and KZ cover "Doo-Wop / Can't Take My Eyes Off You" LIVE on Wish 107.5 Bus
actually, her original rendition of the song was in jazz sound with scatting (live performance in ROUND PH),,, just remove the reverv it will sound like that. Remember the original song will start in stanza... so to give dramatic intro she arranges it and started in the chorus with robotic sound..
My reaction is for you, although that I do watching KZ concert but at the same time I do watching too that you had a such amazing tantalizing eyes you're awesome handsome men, I had something feel that couldn't explain,
Her interntional use of autotune as an instrument in the intro here is hugely creative. She is known to use this technique artistically. This won her this round of the competition, even beating Jessie J in the voting. And I'm not surprised!- to take a song as iconic as this and end up with something as jaw-droppingly different & memorable as this is surely to be applauded?
just to note- she was rapping in Tagalog not Mandarin. She is one well-loved performer here in the Philippines. thnks for your technical impressions. mwah mwah tsup tsup ;))
They PURPOSELY did that 'heavy auto-tune' intro .. But the rest is her real voice .. Well, don't know if the show slightly used an auto tune with the rest of the song ✌😂 she also sang this one in WISHbus while sitting. And same heavy auto tune at the beginning. She's creative with the songs she's going to cover. She also can make a sound of a trumpet. 😂 Anyways, keep reacting/analysing music videos, i like it. Thumbs up 👍
Too bad you focused too much on the autotune. This was a contest and autotune is not allowed. The fact that it was allowed in this case means that the organizers understand that it's for artistic purposes (to give a robotic sound) and not to correct pitch.
Thanks for the frank analysis. You educated me and helped me understand the finer points of this performance. I am listening differently because of your critique.
Sir, the use of autotune and why it's strong at the intro is a stylistic choice and I'm not sure if you're that familiar with the use of it but getting those straight notes with that amount of autotune and putting those "curls" where it's needed like that is hard. I'm just surprised you didn't comment on that is all. That's actually quite a feat and involves careful control. It's not to correct her tone or w/e but merely for creative purposes and it didn't go on beyond the intro. :) Still appreciate the reaction but was disappointed since it seemed you couldn't even move on from the use of autotune. I understand it has a negative connotation and all but used stylistically like that actually attests to the singer's vocal abilities. I wish you didn't automatically shut down as soon as you heard the autotune which made you seem a bit biased and to review it subjectively thereafter. I personally watch these vocal coach reactions to see technical vocal analyses but seems you gave up early on in this vid. Oh well. Still best of luck!
I still analysed didn't I? I was surprised cos I never seen that before. Actually using autotune doesnt require high skill. That's why it has negative connotation. It is primarily used to correct mistakes, but here I can see she has used it as effect after confirmation from comments. I will make a demo video showing how auto works with my equipment.
Yes, using autotune per se to correct mistakes doesn't require high skill but using it the way she did actually requires that, as I've said. But anyways, still appreciate your honest reaction towards it :) Still enjoy your video :)
I like that you are taking notes of the things you want to point out. Very professional. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about KZ's (K Zee (US), not K Zed) performance but I like the auto tune effect at the beginning.
So sorry.....but it is NOT AUTO TUNE. IT'S VOCAL "ROBOTIC EFFECTS" in the beginning. It is used for styling effects nothing to do with "autotuning" in any way, shape, or form.
This shows her creativity with her amazing talent.... shows more girl power & this performance separates her from everyone. It’s so entertaining!!!! I love it!!!
Since it eas her first performance in this show, she has to catch the audiences' attention. The autotune is only in the intro but with the rap and that overall performance, it only shows that she's not just a singer but a unique artist and a creative performer. There are many singers these days but not even half of them are this great.
Only someone who had never heard KZ before could think she would need autotune. Anyone familiar with her talents would recognize this usage as a deliberate artistic choice for affect.
I'm a bit late to the party but you can find an acoustic version here th-cam.com/video/U36RIvP8igc/w-d-xo.html with just her and a guitarist, no voice effect. There is also a version with just a guitarist and a drummer, with lots of voice effects and gives different colors to the song th-cam.com/video/SODqcdRfUsQ/w-d-xo.html It's worth noting that both vids are from 2016.
Its flavor basically she aint typical singer she always different tho she can sing obviously she rap too and she dance but shes always creative in her performnce
The autotune was there to shock and capture the attention of an audience that has heard it all and has high expectations. It subverts expectations and almost forces them to pay attention. Then the autotune stops and the performance starts. It was genius in my opinion.
I think that intro usually throw people off because of the autotune, but as we already know what her raw voice can do I think she just likes playing with the songs (they sing covers on this show but have to change it up to their own style) and she probably wants to showcase that she can sing in different genres in one song. It's an interesting take on the song which she completely made her own. But found an a cappella version if you're really interested, though same style but with guitar accompaniment: th-cam.com/video/U36RIvP8igc/w-d-xo.html Cheers.
Auto tune was done intentionally to put vividness on the song itself in order to catch an attention and to make it peculiar. Please check her Wish on bus performance with the same song.
Autotune was turned off at 1:43 of your video. She uses a tc helicon voice live 2 for that effect. Its an open secret. Thats how she has always done it with this song. Or do you think autotune was on the entire song?
RnB Singing Lessons generally, auto-tunes are taboo in any singing competitions, which i believe in this case is also a huge no, no. But they allowed her based on the video she has on the wish 107.5 bus, all the rest was just pure KZ vocals, with reverb naturally
I think he's still confused haha, Well the music director of the show is not allowing any Singer to use autotune, but when the staff of the show sow her wish bus presentation and the purpose of the auto tune is for an artistic approach and only at the intro, they allowed her. The auto tune is only at the intro, but the rest are pure vocals.
TC Helicon is a foot pedal controlled by the musician. It's just on/off. Im not sure about a reduced setting. KZ did say on her interview that autotune was turned off right after the intro. Not sure if the producers added post production still.
That autotune was intentional to add spice on her performance (actually she was the one who wanted to have the intro autotuned) but it was only applied in the intro and after that the rest was purely her voice. She's been doing that long before.
Autotune was highly intended, for style, and distinctness - otherwise you'd just have just another Adele song. This version has, so far, become the perfect example for the books of a song rendered differently from the original that, so far, transforms to a one - of - a - kind in cover song production where the remake is better than the original. It's great you noticed it was autotuned. She was hoping her audience would notice her introductory style. :)
I can't say anything bad towards her coz 'til now I'm still amaze the way she sing.Filipino is true talented and i'm proud to be a filipino because of them.
Duhhh that's why it was so obvious man. You should know that Autotune is not allowed in any singing competition. I'll give you props though for letting the video play out without saying a word.
RnB Singing Lessons There are two types of performances... Stage ability and vocal ability performance. In this case KZ's rollin in the deef show her ability on how to change the entire sounds to fit in her own style. Even vocal sounds can be changed to synchronized with the music. I think this kind of performance need not to be analyzed technically. If you really want to check her voice ability try to check out her performances "Anak" (Child) and her Chinese Medley song on Singer 2018. You can also check out her "Two Less Lonely People In The World" by Air Supply on WishBus... twa's purely vocals. I know you have in mind how great as an artist KZ is. And perhaps i know you definitely know the difference between a GREAT SInGER and A GREAT ARTiST.... and lucky to say KZ possesed both of those. Sometimes I think you're reacting irrelevant. Not all performances need to be analyzed in details, sometimes we need to enjoy the beat, the music, stage presence and acknowledge the musicians behind the song.
I did vid already on two less lonely. When you spend 10 years learning about singing, you end up analysing alot, so it's impossible to turn it off my friend :)
RnB Singing Lessons I respect you as a good vocal coach my friend. When it comes to music we need not to be technical when obviously that everybody knows that there's a sound effects to the music that were listening onto. There's no need to get expert just to analyzed and to proved that there's an effect used coz it's too obvious for us. As far as i know, music masters appreciates all types and kinds of sounds that produces music.

Hope somebody knows the difference between the words "Autotune" and "HardTune! 🙄
Autotune - is post performance recording tweaks on vocals with the aim of correcting pitch etc.
Hardtune- is a peri-live vocal effects which includes "autotune" sounding robotic hardtuned reverb (also called T-Pain or Cher effect) among others i.e. TC Helicon Voice Live
You seem to imply that the whole song was autotuned. FYI, the Hardtune (which you called autotune 🤣) on the INTRO is a creative embellishment for artistic purpose. It was superimposed (that is why it is "too obvious") to catch audience attention. The rest of the song is normal voice. I don't know if you realized that? Oh Well...
Ciao! 🙄
Precisely! You nailed it bro!
Thanks for setting this guy straight. I hope he learns to refine his musical knowledge, so that it isn't intended to find fault in an artist's contribution. I sure hope he regrets that unflattering comment.
Gawd well said.
Gawd Demmett Agreed.
It's a reverb
I couldn't disagree with you more about the use of the autotune/talkbox. I freaking love it. She's not using it because she needs it, she's using it as artistic license. Her voice is amazing. I understand why some people might automatically discredit her for using the effect but she's not trying to mask a weak voice with it....she's using it artistically and creatively..and only in the beginning of the song. Check out two other performances of hers to see what her voice can do: Her singing The Hurts You Never Knew on Singer 2018 th-cam.com/video/V7CX7AHgLjg/w-d-xo.html and Roses on Myx: th-cam.com/video/e22eipdHbd0/w-d-xo.html
That's fine. It's down to personal taste.
I like that he is being honest about his thoughts of using auto tune. Only shows that he is really authentic of his reactions. Its just that he took the autotune effect negtively rather than seeing it as an art form to modernize the song and to give it a new taste. T pain uses autotune most on most of his tracks that makes the song interesting. But i guess there are still people who preffered natural voice. Sad, yes but not mad. Still a loyal sub though
I don't like it also. That autotune is very robotic and not very pleasant.
Guys, you don't need to keep explaining why she used auto-tune. He understood that. As he mentioned, "It's down to personal taste."
If I prefer Android over iOS, I don't want people to keep telling me that iOS is much better. I just prefer what Android has over iOS (Not that it's true. I have both iOS and Android. I'm just making an analogy) That should be the end of it. You must agree to just disagree.
I totally disagree with this guy! that's what KZ separate from singer to artist!!! That intro is fucking unbelievable even TPAIN will get jealous....I guess you can't pls. everybody.
Her intro was to transport you into her musical journey. I thought she used it with the intention of that initial 'wow factor'. Very creative and mind blowing. Her fans know her singing abilities. I consider her intro unique, creative and mystical. By the way I don't consider that vocalization as 'auto tune'
Do remember the voice box technique, used by Peter Frampton? It stands out today and that made him a very memorable innovator in musical history. KZ made this her very own cover of an already great song. Others have commented that it's actually better than Adele's original version. KZ'S performance, 'Rolling In The Deep' always gives me those goosebumps and that lump in my throat and there are no descriptive, musical adjectives that can accurately describe those emotional feelings that I get from this energized performance.
She is a great performer! A great, creative singer!! Put you on your feet,,,the best, I love it 😍❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If you are looking for something soulful, you can try her SAY SOMETHING in singer 2018.. btw she just used auto tune in the beginning of the song for creativity purposes... but the rest of the perf is her real voice.. 🤗
She used reverb, not autotune. Vocal effect for effect.
Murilo Cruz u could check her video where she confirmed that it was auto tune and not reverb she had used.. 🤗
Janz Belarmino he did react
anonim mus yeah he did 🤗
Yes auto tune po yun beginning. If u want to confirm, visit kayo vlog ni Raffy Calicdan, kaibigan siya ni kz at si kz mismo nag confirm na she used auto tune for creativity purposes
She used autotune on the intro to achieve a robotic effect to catch attention. Not really for pitch correction. Something she openly admits. Surprising isnt it. We always saw autotune as taboo but i think she demonstrated that it can be used for artistic purposes as well. Well thats just my view
Wasn't autotune. It was just a vocal effect.
Thats cool if its on purpose.
Kind of like Tpain.
RnB Singing Lessons yes it's on the purpose to catch audience attention, the auto tune is only at the intro of the song, the rest are pure vocals. She also used the auto tune effect at the intro on her wish bus rolling in the deep presentation.
Kz confirmed that on one of the video blogs
It's stated to add confusion and catch viewers attention at the beginning of the song and there we have it, you're been confused and caught your attention. 😊😝✌✌
Exactly! that's the point RnB Singing Lesson
RnB Singing Lessons watch the wish bus version of this and u will see how they use those vocal effects to make it sound better.
That's d only performance where KZ used auto tune on d intro. Check her ROYALS' song on Episode 9, Real Gone on Epidode 8 & Farewell song (See U Again) on Episode 10 of China's SINGER 2018 reality contest.
That auto-tune (T-Pain effect) was meant to be heavy and deliberate, to make the voice sound like a sad robot as a creative license and provide a different way of introducing the song. I'm surprised you got hung up on that and treat it as if the singer was somehow cheating.
The autotune was deliberate only on the intro. The point was really to catch attention.
Mark Anthony Necio yes 🙂 he didn’t understand that..
reverb
It's not autotune, though.
Oh thank you man for pointing out that the vocal effect was heavy and obvious...I thought it was just meant to be heavy and obvious 🙄
Autotune stops @ 1:45. All KZ after that. It was exaggerated on purpose for audio effect. That's her style. That's how she rolls. I like it but it's not for everyone. Sometimes it's better to sit back and enjoy the performance rather than to analyze it. Especially with KZ (and performers like her) who doesn't flow with the norm. I like your reaction though. Honest.
When you are a singer/teacher you automatically analyse while watching. Impossible to turn it off :)
Greg RDL I won't believe him for saying that the autotune never been off after the intro for kz already stated the facts. He probably miscalculated some aspects.
I like how honest he responds and analyze kz performances but he miscalculated about the autotune is never been off after the intro of that song, for nobody is perfect in term of judging a performance using hearing analysis only and believing that the autotune is impossible to turn off after it used on the intro for kz never will do such a thing as using an autotune for the whole song.
Greg RDL ow by the way kz is back in China, there will be a big event gonna happen on the final round.. 😄😄😄
The Munang ReeaactTVShows He was referring to the "analyses" not the "autotune" when he says "impossible to turn off."
#readingComprehensionIsASkill
His analytical reaction is what his reaction videos are mostly about. You don't go on telling someone what to do in their channel. And don't even tell me that you're just suggesting. That ain't suggesting bro. You call that IMPOSING.
I eat pineapple fruit, but I don't like when they're added in food. Now, you can tell me I'm weird but you don't go telling me, "You should learn to just sit back and enjoy citrusy flavor of pineapple in your pizza." People have different tastes and preferences, you gotta learn to accept that.
Side Note to Racheed: Haven't seen you react to KZ's Say Something. I don't know if I missed that. But please do if you haven't yet.
you seemed to have missed the point of her making it obvious for the auto tune to come out differently, it wasn't as if it was set up the way they didn't know it to sound that way but exactly the way it was. That was her artistic approach to the song to catch the attention of everyone as it prepares you for the whole song approach. i noticed you are seemingly not ready for her.
The only auto tune was only at the beginning for the electronic sound.
The rap part is in tagalog..the auto tune part in the beggining is intended to catch the attention of the viewer coz she's new in the singer (for Dramatic effect).. u can check her performance in wish bus where she sang the same song. 😊
All of us and the audience, except you, didn't seem to get it. the use of auto-tune in the beginning was on purpose to produce sort of an effect just like in Kanye's music, etc.
I get where you’re coming from with the vocal effects but she used the reverb only in the beginning of the song and I think it was just to add to how many genres she explored in this one song. Pop, rock, reggae, jazz, rap and with the reverb she used in the beginning, techno. I rarely enjoy a performance that’s too reliant on reverb and autotune but I think it works really well here.
KZ is dynamic and have great vocals. I would love to hear her in concert! She rocked the stage and did it in her own style!
Just to add, was also surprised you didn't comment on that part of the intro where she goes "but you played it..you played it.." going up to the high note which she manages to keep straight, going down still straight and having those autotune "curls" right in the end. That is very hard.
😊 there is a lot happening with all these artists I react to, so im just picking and choosing :) don't think im not appreciating everything :)
The auto tune in the intro was to catch attention to the viewers. All who listened to the entire song love it, since it was different. She sang in her version. All the viewers noticed her creativity as an artist.
The rap was in Pilipino (or Tagalog), not Mandarin. As to the added sound effects at the start of the song, I believe it was meant to somewhat immediately catch the attention of the live audience; unlike the local singers who are obviously known to the public and Jessie J who is already an icon in the music industry, KZ was a total stranger. Hence, the need to get people to see what else she could bring. She went to win that particular episode.
I could be wrong but in one interview she gave, she mentioned that she would do the auto tune sound herself sometimes when singing and this is without the use of autotune/talkbox. It was her doing the autotune sound alike.
It's not autotune, it is a "reverb" or "reverberation". International singing competition like Singer 2018 do not allow autotune. She also had this performance in Wishbus.
Just to clarify, reverb effects(which she used at the start), are allowed in the show. Using “auto tune” software actually is not allowed in the show.
It's just used for texture in the beginning, but as soon as the beat changed, it was eliminated, only reverb, notice the difference
Check out her singing from the wish (?) bus, it is a radio station 107.5 maybe. It travels around the Philippines and KZ did this song with no autotuned but some changes to her voice. . It is the same show that Morrissett Amon sang on. I also heard that she uses the effect not to enhance her voice but to add dimension to what she was doing with the song. I've listened to it numerous times and I really like how the whole song was done. Loved the horns!!!!! Thank for your reaction. Great as always.
I so ver like it!...It kinda made me imagine that the voice is coming from the deep blue sea. The blue lights made me sensed the anguish...and anger of being played upon (while she was grunting; followed by her prolonged note while the lights were turning red)...hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...reap what you sow!!!
The aututone is just in the beginningn and that's intentional. Anyways, she sang the song in wish bus. You can have a look.

Love watching your analysis. Very insightful and I always feel it comes from an honest place with you, from real experience. For this particular song if it's the very first time hearing KZ, then I can see how folks can overcriticize the autotune. But after knowing KZ and her immense talents, I give her all the license to use whatever she needs to convey her artistry because that is surely where she is different from other singers. KZ is not just a singer, she is an experience! A true artist! Her use of autotune is deliberate in the intro (as she has used before in her prior performance of this song) to bring something different and edgy. For me I will not have it any other way in wanting her to perform this song. I would be disappointed without all her deliberate stylings. Again she is amazing and has the license from me to use whatever she wants in conveying the KZ experience. Don't let the autotune fool ya.
this is a performance for a contest that is not allowed in competitions.it is only for effect purposes in the begenning.try her singing in mandarin the hurts you never knew and see u again.
You were looking for a raw version of her Rolling in the Deep cover. But I don't think there is one. She did the same performance though in the Wish Bus back in 2016, but still using auto-tune there. Here's the link:
th-cam.com/video/SODqcdRfUsQ/w-d-xo.html
The auto tune in the beginning is done obviously to catch attention since this is her 1st song as a contender in Singer 2018 but the rest are her normal vocals
Yes.... Creative... Indeed.. Combines several genre... Electro pop.. Rnb.. Rock.. Jazz.. Rap... Though she uses auto tune adeptly not overpowering her voice .. Hehe as expected being a purist like you would destract you at first.. Like me too until i keep on watching her performance and understand later her versatility and artistry.. Putting her own interpretation on a song soul fully.. The rap is in tagalog. But she do it too in Chinese and English which is not her native language... She is the female eminem... But if you are looking for her vocal prowess.. Listen to her say something performance which practice in a day.. And likewise her mandarin song which is not her native language.. But thanks really for react/analysis....
The auto tune was intended to put twist on her performance. Hehe she admitted it.
In one of her past interviews, she had admitted using auto tune ONLY AT THE BEGINNING of the song for effect like what T-PAIN does but for the REST of the song, it's all hers. She definitely don't need auto tune if you check her others performances on the show.
The rap is in Philippine language, saying that she is equiped and the other contestant had big mistake in challaging her... It is something like that.
She used to put auto-tune on the beggining of the song 'Rolling in the deep' to enhance the performance and to put drama on it. You can clearly tell that it can get your attention so fast. And the auto-tune is in the microphone so even if you get a raw video, the auto-tune will be present. You can also watch her Rolling in the deep performance on Wish 107.5 to know that her rendition of the song used to be like that (I mean with auto-tune). Anyways great reaction as always.
She intentionally put that "effects" on the start of her performance to catch "attention."
Honey the Reverb not Autotune was only added ONLY on the INTRO.
And after the INTRO everything was her. Its her twist on the song.
Not auto tune but reverb. Different because auto tune corrects her voice reverb is more on echoing vibrations so if you can’t sing it’ll still sound bad. Her singing was perfect and it seemed to build up as the song/performance progressed. Love KZ’s experimentation and layering of different genres.
Reverb not auto tune.. she's a filipina from Philippines
Old fashion Vocal Coach. Don't know what auto tune is.
If i remember it correctly, KZ once broke her vocal cord. I don't know if you could say it something like broke it or scratch it idk. And i adore her for that being able to pass through that challenge and all and become who she is right now 😍😍
Your wrong the auto tune was not used to make her voice better, it was just an effect
And you know what, it wasn't just the elements. She was feeling the song- "and you played it, you played it, to the beat." This a heartache song you know. The persona in the song, as how she portrayed it, was a show of extreme anger and disappointment.
listen to it again. the reverb at the into was deliberate. becuz it was deliberate and obvious, they allowed it. after that, it was just her natural voice. this is a singing competition in China. they're very strict about anyone "cheating".
All shows do this
That's not reverb, it's autotune. She admitted it.
Paul Nimeno the autotune is only at the beginning of the song..
but still there is. either it's at the beginning or the whole song as he claims. you cannot deny that.
Paul Nimeno nope , auto tune is only at the beginning. Singer production is not allowing autotune unless for an artistic approach, kz admit that the auto tune is only at the beginning, for this is on a purpose of artistic approach/ the production of the Singer stage and the staff already sow her wish bus presentation of rolling in the deep for they allowing the auto tune at the beginning of he song and rest assured that it is pure vocals without auto tune for the rest of the song.
In the beginning of the song, that is her real voice, that's her robotic voice. She practiced that voice, she's so talented try to watch it in Wish Bus "Rolling in the deep"
Theres no big deal about kz's using auto tune or not, maybe reverb or not! the issue here is how to cover that song and how to perform in front of audience and televiewers in her own style. If the show itself allowed her to used a vocal effects obviously we are not in the position to judge her performance.. FYI the format of that show is concert type and its not a typical voice talent show. Kz used voice effect in the beginning to catch audience attention just like humming in her orher songs. If you don't like KZ's voice effects, I bet you don't listen to either Kenya West, Kid Rock and to some other recording artist who used sound effects.
And you gave a heart on every single comment. Wow! Its telling us you read each one. Thank you.
Most of them :) I do read each one :) I enjoy the feedback, opinions and discussion.
Have you watched her version on ROADS? its really raw. No effect whatsoever, not even reverb. Just search kz tandingan rolling in the deep roads.
You might also want to check out all her performance on Singer 2018. It should be worth your while.
Dont be upset coach, that autotune she used at the very beginning was just her style of music... If u could check out for her version on the wish bus she used the same style, she always say that in all her interviews :)
The autotune is only in the intro my friend the whole performance minis the intro is her own voice.. keep watching another video of her..
Speaking of Jessie J, I recommend reacting plus analyzing her "Singer 2018" performances as well. I think she has advanced and matured really well as a vocalist. Her performances in "Singer 2018" are the best I've ever seen from her. You'd have a blast analyzing her.
Putang ina ka!!!! Bawal ka dto .... Doon ka sa Jessie J mo ....
speaking of KZ .... HUWAG KA DTO!!!! Doon ka sa Jessie J mo Mag react!!!! Atay!!!!! Hindi mo lang nakita mas magaling si KZ ....
@@delpazjaedfebro212 don't be like that you know how much KZ loves Jessie, KZ will not like your attitude if you get rude with a Jessie fan because Jessie is her music influence as well, respect should be default while disrespect should be earned, and you earned that today.
you miss the point. it went over your head. LOL
I love how this performance expose people who are thinking outside the box and people who are stuck inside the box.
anyway welcome to the present.
Not an auto tune , it was reverb talk box, because auto tune is not allow in any singing competition.
Hello Coach!!! Kz is very talented artist she is really a genuine She even knows how to mimic the sound of flute using her mouth please try to watch and react " Kyla, Yeng, and KZ cover "Doo-Wop / Can't Take My Eyes Off You" LIVE on Wish 107.5 Bus
The song rolling in the deep made that robotic voices for u to imagin and feel the song when u rolling in the deep. Soulful performance 😍😍😍😍
Hey coach! Has anyone told you that you look like Edu Manzano(famous actor here in the Philippines)? 😂
actually, her original rendition of the song was in jazz sound with scatting (live performance in ROUND PH),,, just remove the reverv it will sound like that. Remember the original song will start in stanza... so to give dramatic intro she arranges it and started in the chorus with robotic sound..
the gravity of the song must be observed and how it was executed ....perfect, amazing, down to earth
It's her style, and it's just the beginning
My reaction is for you, although that I do watching KZ concert but at the same time I do watching too that you had a such amazing tantalizing eyes you're awesome handsome men, I had something feel that couldn't explain,
Her interntional use of autotune as an instrument in the intro here is hugely creative. She is known to use this technique artistically. This won her this round of the competition, even beating Jessie J in the voting. And I'm not surprised!- to take a song as iconic as this and end up with something as jaw-droppingly different & memorable as this is surely to be applauded?
just to note- she was rapping in Tagalog not Mandarin. She is one well-loved performer here in the Philippines. thnks for your technical impressions. mwah mwah tsup tsup ;))
They PURPOSELY did that 'heavy auto-tune' intro .. But the rest is her real voice .. Well, don't know if the show slightly used an auto tune with the rest of the song ✌😂 she also sang this one in WISHbus while sitting. And same heavy auto tune at the beginning. She's creative with the songs she's going to cover. She also can make a sound of a trumpet. 😂
Anyways, keep reacting/analysing music videos, i like it. Thumbs up 👍
Too bad you focused too much on the autotune. This was a contest and autotune is not allowed. The fact that it was allowed in this case means that the organizers understand that it's for artistic purposes (to give a robotic sound) and not to correct pitch.
check out her See You Again performance episode 11 of Singer 2018...
Thanks for the frank analysis. You educated me and helped me understand the finer points of this performance. I am listening differently because of your critique.
😊
Might i suggest Zia Quizon’s cover of Hotline Bling or Hazelyn Cascano’s cover of I surrender? They were both performed on the wish bus
Sir, the use of autotune and why it's strong at the intro is a stylistic choice and I'm not sure if you're that familiar with the use of it but getting those straight notes with that amount of autotune and putting those "curls" where it's needed like that is hard. I'm just surprised you didn't comment on that is all. That's actually quite a feat and involves careful control. It's not to correct her tone or w/e but merely for creative purposes and it didn't go on beyond the intro. :) Still appreciate the reaction but was disappointed since it seemed you couldn't even move on from the use of autotune. I understand it has a negative connotation and all but used stylistically like that actually attests to the singer's vocal abilities. I wish you didn't automatically shut down as soon as you heard the autotune which made you seem a bit biased and to review it subjectively thereafter. I personally watch these vocal coach reactions to see technical vocal analyses but seems you gave up early on in this vid. Oh well. Still best of luck!
I still analysed didn't I?
I was surprised cos I never seen that before.
Actually using autotune doesnt require high skill. That's why it has negative connotation. It is primarily used to correct mistakes, but here I can see she has used it as effect after confirmation from comments.
I will make a demo video showing how auto works with my equipment.
Yes, using autotune per se to correct mistakes doesn't require high skill but using it the way she did actually requires that, as I've said. But anyways, still appreciate your honest reaction towards it :) Still enjoy your video :)
I like that you are taking notes of the things you want to point out. Very professional. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about KZ's (K Zee (US), not K Zed) performance but I like the auto tune effect at the beginning.
You: analyzing KZ
Me: Analyzing your little smiles 😍😍 omg
So sorry.....but it is NOT AUTO TUNE. IT'S VOCAL "ROBOTIC EFFECTS" in the beginning. It is used for styling effects nothing to do with "autotuning" in any way, shape, or form.
This shows her creativity with her amazing talent.... shows more girl power & this performance separates her from everyone. It’s so entertaining!!!! I love it!!!
Since it eas her first performance in this show, she has to catch the audiences' attention. The autotune is only in the intro but with the rap and that overall performance, it only shows that she's not just a singer but a unique artist and a creative performer. There are many singers these days but not even half of them are this great.
Yeah this is one of kz's best performance..she's amazing
Only someone who had never heard KZ before could think she would need autotune. Anyone familiar with her talents would recognize this usage as a deliberate artistic choice for affect.
She didnt use the auto tune for her voice. She used it to show case her voice
it is not auto tune, it is reverb. There's nothing to correct in her pitch so that is not autotune.
It's autotune, she confirmed it herself.
I'm a bit late to the party but you can find an acoustic version here th-cam.com/video/U36RIvP8igc/w-d-xo.html with just her and a guitarist, no voice effect.
There is also a version with just a guitarist and a drummer, with lots of voice effects and gives different colors to the song th-cam.com/video/SODqcdRfUsQ/w-d-xo.html
It's worth noting that both vids are from 2016.
There is a raw version of this one. Check her performance of rollin in the deep in wish 107.5 (wish bus)
Its flavor basically she aint typical singer she always different tho she can sing obviously she rap too and she dance but shes always creative in her performnce
The autotune was there to shock and capture the attention of an audience that has heard it all and has high expectations. It subverts expectations and almost forces them to pay attention. Then the autotune stops and the performance starts. It was genius in my opinion.
I think that intro usually throw people off because of the autotune, but as we already know what her raw voice can do I think she just likes playing with the songs (they sing covers on this show but have to change it up to their own style) and she probably wants to showcase that she can sing in different genres in one song. It's an interesting take on the song which she completely made her own. But found an a cappella version if you're really interested, though same style but with guitar accompaniment: th-cam.com/video/U36RIvP8igc/w-d-xo.html Cheers.
thequotidian 😍
It’s obvious because she’s using it to add as an effect like a guitarist would use Distortion. It went off right after the intro!
Auto tune was done intentionally to put vividness on the song itself in order to catch an attention and to make it peculiar. Please check her Wish on bus performance with the same song.
Her Rolling in the deep version with just a guitar on Rounds and no auto tune. Enjoy.
Its reverb not autotune. She purposely chose that to make an interesting intro and sounding like space-y voice.
Thanks for all the comments, I will check other video/reactions✌️ will just stop viewing right here on the dot🤪
Pls react to all her performance in singer 2018
yup she doesnt need it. thats just for flavor or dramatic effect.
Fyi this performance beat jessie j
Autotune was turned off at 1:43 of your video. She uses a tc helicon voice live 2 for that effect. Its an open secret. Thats how she has always done it with this song. Or do you think autotune was on the entire song?
Sounds like whole song, with maybe a reduced setting after the intro. I could be wrong
RnB Singing Lessons generally, auto-tunes are taboo in any singing competitions, which i believe in this case is also a huge no, no. But they allowed her based on the video she has on the wish 107.5 bus, all the rest was just pure KZ vocals, with reverb naturally
I think he's still confused haha,
Well the music director of the show is not allowing any Singer to use autotune, but when the staff of the show sow her wish bus presentation and the purpose of the auto tune is for an artistic approach and only at the intro, they allowed her.
The auto tune is only at the intro, but the rest are pure vocals.
TC Helicon is a foot pedal controlled by the musician. It's just on/off. Im not sure about a reduced setting. KZ did say on her interview that autotune was turned off right after the intro. Not sure if the producers added post production still.
jessie j made a statement on her Instagram that all of the episodes are sung live and taped live.
That autotune was intentional to add spice on her performance (actually she was the one who wanted to have the intro autotuned) but it was only applied in the intro and after that the rest was purely her voice. She's been doing that long before.
Well sir you should check some singers in Wishbus too😊.. Very good reaction and analyzing.. Greetings from Philippines in 2019😊😂..
KZ Tandingan is the greatest performer...full if talent..typical of Southeast Asia star..
Hey RnB, would like to comment on her other songs Royals, Real Gone, and more
Autotune was highly intended, for style, and distinctness - otherwise you'd just have just another Adele song. This version has, so far, become the perfect example for the books of a song rendered differently from the original that, so far, transforms to a one - of - a - kind in cover song production where the remake is better than the original. It's great you noticed it was autotuned. She was hoping her audience would notice her introductory style. :)
KZ KZ KZ my rock star 2019.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I can't say anything bad towards her coz 'til now I'm still amaze the way she sing.Filipino is true talented and i'm proud to be a filipino because of them.
Duhhh that's why it was so obvious man. You should know that Autotune is not allowed in any singing competition. I'll give you props though for letting the video play out without saying a word.
RnB Singing Lessons There are two types of performances... Stage ability and vocal ability performance. In this case KZ's rollin in the deef show her ability on how to change the entire sounds to fit in her own style. Even vocal sounds can be changed to synchronized with the music. I think this kind of performance need not to be analyzed technically. If you really want to check her voice ability try to check out her performances "Anak" (Child) and her Chinese Medley song on Singer 2018. You can also check out her "Two Less Lonely People In The World" by Air Supply on WishBus... twa's purely vocals. I know you have in mind how great as an artist KZ is. And perhaps i know you definitely know the difference between a GREAT SInGER and A GREAT ARTiST.... and lucky to say KZ possesed both of those. Sometimes I think you're reacting irrelevant. Not all performances need to be analyzed in details, sometimes we need to enjoy the beat, the music, stage presence and acknowledge the musicians behind the song.
I did vid already on two less lonely. When you spend 10 years learning about singing, you end up analysing alot, so it's impossible to turn it off my friend :)
RnB Singing Lessons I respect you as a good vocal coach my friend. When it comes to music we need not to be technical when obviously that everybody knows that there's a sound effects to the music that were listening onto. There's no need to get expert just to analyzed and to proved that there's an effect used coz it's too obvious for us. As far as i know, music masters appreciates all types and kinds of sounds that produces music.
By the way check this out my friend.......
