Unholy might be one of Sam Smith’s best singles. We can literally see how much they’ve evolved throughout the years. As always, your reactions are great. Keep up the good work, Tristan.
11:05 yes this is exactly what I was thinking! Her voice is distinct to me because when she goes lower, her tone is darker and there’s barely any volume. I’m not a specialist so idk if that makes sense but I also find it impressive how quick and swiftly she can shift from the two. Also, I’m not sure if you know but Jin’s (BTS) new single is out ‘The Astronaut’ and the live version is worth listening to! It’s a song co-written by him and Coldplay so the song has Coldplay’s signature pop-rock ish element to it and Chris Martin does a lot of the back vocals too. I’d suggest listening to the mv and live together, the vocals live are amazing!
The girl in the first video is playing a Lava guitar, which is made from carbon, and can be pluged in as well as used as an acoustic guitar. Not selling it, but we got ir a few years ago and it is quite amazing ❤ The people singing are awesome btw!!
Tristan: “I love all these omg” as he proceeds to look like he’s in pain/ disgust half of the video 😭😂 I love your facial expressions! These covers were so good! Love you Tristan 🥰❤️
These singers were all great in their own right, and it really highlights the versatility of song. Love your reactions, Tristan. It was really fun how you attempted that scream.
I’m SO envious of beaandherbizness’ voice I LOVE that like raw texture the sound has and after like 10 years of traditional musical theater/ operatic vocal training my voice just doesn’t do that unless I’m sickly and shouldn’t sing anyways. Always gives me goose bumps
Donut hole??? OMg I woke up the dog laughing. Random: It's nice to hear young people with interesting voices using all the consonants in each word. really interesting. Also, I wish you would sing to us more often. I love your voice, ( and your hair... sorry).
If anyone wants to hear how this song should have been sung (in my opinion) check out Halocene -Metal cover Unholy The lead female vocalist does a sexy & badass performanceand has an insane vocal range. The drumming is on a whole other level, super complex and original. And the guitarist is absolutely sick and also does back up vocals and screams. They have a full professional production music video and the visuals are great too! Absolutely, all around incredible and I truly stick by my opinion that it is 100% WAYYY better than the original & is how the song was always meant to be 🤘
The first guitar is from a brand called Lava U. They make ukuleles and guitars that are electric as well as acoustic! They have different buttons that can change pitch, echo, and reverb. And the best part… NO CORDSSSS!
Honestly most of them couldn't hit the strength of the original vocals. The power behind Sam's voice is what drives the song.. Well, that and the beat. 13:52 is one of the better ones in terms of the raw strength in carry behind it.
i love your reactions! (and your hair) there’s this one tiktoker/singer, iniko, they have one of the best voices i think i’ve *ever* heard and id like to bless your ears
Alexander Stewart has such a raw voice that is verysatisfying to listen to! You are also so very good at disecting these videos- must be a great vocal coach!
that HAIR is the bomb- AAAHHH OMG I LOVE HOW YOU LOOK WITH YOUR HAIR IN A BUN na fam this video is now about you, you are stunny low key i love that shirt too
I feel the same, but still just glad it was included and appreciated regardless. I watch a lot of Tristan’s videos, but I specifically clicked on this one hoping to see their cover. Just nothing compares to their version. And I want them to get the recognition that deserve.
the duo of c_frn is my favorite version. I cannot get over how the pitches of the harmonies keep switching. She'll go low then he'll go high. Keeps me on edge.
I kinda wish the video of the girl who does the gibberish version was in this compilation (blodibloo-diblop). I would love to see his reaction to her voice
Tristan 🤣 the scream! That kinda vocalizing is reallllly hard, as I'm sure you know. You have a beautiful singing voice tho. I love your videos dude. You make me forget how horrible this world is for just a few minutes, so thank you for that 🖤
1:46 perfectly illustrates my frustration with this trend. I get it: it’s a style choice. But literally SO MANY WOMEN sing like this now (vocal fry, slurred words, sInGiNg In CuRsIvE), and it’s gone from being a unique thing one or two artists did to everyone and her sister sounding drunk/tired/doped when they sing… and it makes the lyrics diffiicult to understand. I’m a voice coach with 20+ years of experience, and all my girls want to sing like this; it really grinds my gears because these otherwise REALLY talented singers end up sounding like last call on karaoke night.
If you really want tips on screaming look into the zen of screaming Melissa cross. Amazing teacher Also edit. Wish I could have seen him react to loveless without the girl and screamer as well
wow. I dont think i need to go much after 8:30. the scream plus the female vocal playing in those ranges. Highly invested in that one and would def like to hear moar.
22:49 she was MOUTHING IT! I think because her neck wasn't moving while singing (vibrating) like it would NORMALLY in that voice tone. And her face was barely near the microphone.
One thing that kinda annoys me about alot of the singers on tiktok is they seem to forget pronunciation and slur so many words. One of the main things my singing teacher used to say, was pronounce each word!!
After i wrote this, you explained exactly what i meant when you said they were all doing it in Billie iLash type voices. She's great, but kids do seem to be copying her style even if their voices don't need to do that style.
Sam's a they/them not a he/him 💚 Always love seeing these videos it's great to learn more about music through the way you explain stuff! I'd love to see you take a look at Taminos music, he has a phenomenal voice and I'd love to see you break down his techniques!
I literally could not care less. He's male. "they/them" pronouns are just sad, nonsensical, and narcisisstic as fuck. Not to mention illogical, since the concept of non-binary just creates another binary; and is inherently enforcing gender roles. Lmao
WHERE KING KITTY AT??? WHOEVER PICKED THE COVERS MISSED THE MOST BADASS OF THEM ALL! (Also King Kitty deserves a reaction video all by herself in general but she's more of an underground artist I think so idk if that's possible BUT THE UNHOLY COVER WOULD'VE WORKED PERFECTLY FOR THIS VIDEO)
So much expression in 9:23, I liked his voice it was almost that "Pillow Talk" type. But who was he channeling? Avatar, Katara? Mortal Combat, Sub Zero? Dragon Ball Z, Goku?
Hii I'm a bit late and is just a cover for fun but you could take a look on Griffin Bruns (va of tartaglia from genshin... I say this because i really have no idea if the name is correct).. Well he does other covers too... Very short... And well I don't understand anything of singing techniques but it might be a fun watch
That’s a Lava Guitar. It’s a “smart” guitar that has a digital interface, built in amplification, tuner, looping capability, etc…. Basically it’s an electric/acoustic with a built-in iPod and speaker.
Your scream was good, going from nothing to screaming, as you well know is quite brave actually and its not really done unless you have months of training. I think it was good. And omg so many talented voices, I think about this a lot but its amazing how people are so talented yet that talent is never gonna be used and some people just don't want to use it. Not because they are insecure, they just never will use it. Amazing though.

He killed this tbf
Sam Smith is a band?
@@toginfinity8418 no
@@jackreynolds3868 The person above said they've evolved, oh, probably a typo, my bad.
I think it’s because Sam smith goes by they/them pronouns 🤷🏻♀️

This might have been my favorite
She sounds like Miley to me. I feel like It’s kinda what Miley is able to do with her voice? Idk tho lol.
The girl in the first video is playing a Lava guitar, which is made from carbon, and can be pluged in as well as used as an acoustic guitar. Not selling it, but we got ir a few years ago and it is quite amazing ❤
The people singing are awesome btw!!
I don't remember asking
“He looks like he’s being held captive. I feel like it was his dad. “ LMAO I’m not even 3 minutes into this video and I can’t stop laughing at that 🤣
Tristan: “I love all these omg” as he proceeds to look like he’s in pain/ disgust half of the video 😭😂 I love your facial expressions! These covers were so good! Love you Tristan 🥰❤️
That's the stank face
He has the best expressions for previews because he always looks very judgy 😂
These singers were all great in their own right, and it really highlights the versatility of song. Love your reactions, Tristan. It was really fun how you attempted that scream.
1:45 That guitar is the Lava Me Smart Guitar. It has like looping and recording features built into it
Great versions, but I missed Malindas version. It's the most haunting one (and still feels like a nursery rhyme) yet in my opinion.
Cody Frost was the girl with the red hair and the insane vocals, she was on the Voice and has her own solo career and she is flat out amazing!!!!
I’m SO envious of beaandherbizness’ voice I LOVE that like raw texture the sound has and after like 10 years of traditional musical theater/ operatic vocal training my voice just doesn’t do that unless I’m sickly and shouldn’t sing anyways. Always gives me goose bumps
Having all the names of the original singers is VERY MUCH appreciated!
Is it just me or does Tristan look like Cisco Ramon from The Flash? He has the same energy and vibe as him!
Lol yes!
Yessss lol
Yes
Yeah he kind of does with that hair
Aww I was waiting on the Belle Sisoski cover but it never came. She goes off as well and we needed more of the heavy metal covers those slay too hehe
Yesss!!!
I think the red head at the end was my favorite. Wow, what a voice.
Donut hole??? OMg I woke up the dog laughing.
Random: It's nice to hear young people with interesting voices using all the consonants in each word. really interesting. Also, I wish you would sing to us more often. I love your voice, ( and your hair... sorry).
That first video that’s a Blue Lava guitar, it’s got built in reverb stuff, it’s incredible actually.
I’ve watched Tristan say “Eww” about ten times at time 22:55. It has me rollin😂
same lol
If anyone wants to hear how this song should have been sung (in my opinion) check out Halocene -Metal cover Unholy

Also check out our last night's cover i discovered that song first then the original and i feel that cover is the actual one
@@qwiiiva2099 I've seen some of their stuff and always liked it so I'll def check it out! Thanks 😊
YES, I love Halocene - their lead singer has an incredible vocal range and the unholy cover they do is sick
The red-haired chick for the screamo one is Cody Frost. I'd love to see you react to more of her!
My favorite cover of this song right now is probably from Reinaeirey, it's absolutely amazing and she really pulls it off well
First time watcher/listener. Really enjoyed this, the introductions to amazing TT talent and your notes. Thanks so much!
Your reactions to the modified lyrics are so funny lmaoooo

Thank God for compression right?
i love your reactions! (and your hair) there’s this one tiktoker/singer, iniko, they have one of the best voices i think i’ve *ever* heard and id like to bless your ears
That harmony pair was amazing.
I suddenly want your take on Belle Sisoski's cover of this, and some of her other covers.
That 3 people bit with the girl and scream bit was fiiiiiirrrrrreeee!
SO INSANE
Alexander Stewart has such a raw voice that is verysatisfying to listen to! You are also so very good at disecting these videos- must be a great vocal coach!
i think its a lava me 2 guitar. it has built in effects that you can add and change and what not. its really cool!
I've never wanted to listen to an ad more. That was kind of soothing.
Do some of the mics in the videos have pitch correction? Love the raw, acapella versions - really showcases their vocal abilities!
that HAIR is the bomb- AAAHHH OMG I LOVE HOW YOU LOOK WITH YOUR HAIR IN A BUN
na fam this video is now about you, you are stunny
low key i love that shirt too
I really wish they played Loveless’s version separately 😭
I feel the same, but still just glad it was included and appreciated regardless. I watch a lot of Tristan’s videos, but I specifically clicked on this one hoping to see their cover. Just nothing compares to their version. And I want them to get the recognition that deserve.
Yessss. Loveless version alone is SO good! Loveless is my favorite band and I also wish they got more recognition. Julian is the best!😍
That is by far my favorite version, so I felt the same way!
SAME. I CLICKED ON THIS VIDEO HOPING TO SEE TRISTANS REACTION TO IT
same 😭
I love your coaching. Thank you as a vocal coach it makes so much sense
the duo of c_frn is my favorite version. I cannot get over how the pitches of the harmonies keep switching. She'll go low then he'll go high. Keeps me on edge.

You should listen to frog leap studios version of unholy, it really good!

Omg you look like the one dude from the flash, his name was Cysco Romone I think- Idk but I literally loved him
Yeah especially with that hair 😏🤣
I literally got chills at 13:52
Love your comments. My favorite of all is Guy #4 .
If you really want tips on screaming look into the zen of screaming Melissa cross. Amazing teacher

Just when I thought I could not love a Tristan reaction more he does this. Love love love! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love 3:47 when it was like billy from hocus pocus hairstyle. I love it
A very good example of transition between full voice and an airy voice is Taylor swift performing “I knew you were trouble” live
First video I saw of your videos. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks!
Lucky Star 🌟 with the yellow hat was amazing 👏 💛 😍 & the girl after her with the green in her hair ph & of course the last gurl
The last was making me all hot under the collar 🥵🥵
17:47 is Valeria Voronina
This is honestly my favorite song at the moment.
Yeah catchy song but weird lyrics….

Yes! That's a popular style these days and it drives me nuts! To me it's kinda lazy, but it's just not my thing.

Real singers do that, especially rappers 😂
8:29 I love Loveless's music!! He's like a second Kellin Quinn
It was unfortunate they had to include this specific TikTok... The gir ruined it
nightlife__xo was my favorite! That was 🔥
6:16 i've seen this one before this man is literally so talented please go follow him he's incredible!!
Isn't it a female tho-
@@ayeshamoeen6432 No he is a trans man

Need to hear Loveless version by itself. So much better by itself.
I think my favorite version of this song is Reinaeiry's cover of it :D
Y’all who’s the one at 17:16?! She’s so good!
Some of these covers were insane... Need them on my Spotifyyy
Halocene has my favorite cover of Unholy
Funny how a lot of people I am telling about K-pop thinks it sucks, and this song they suddenly like. This song is so familiar to K-pop
Please use they/them pronouns for Sam as that’s what they use for themself❤️ love your videos Tristan, especially your lives.
✨️Your channel is a great platform to show these more or less known people who have a lot of talent! Thank you! ✨️
beeandherbizniss have me goosebumps 😻 great video!
9:22 I literally melted that voice😍😍
Number 1 quotes by Tristan "like slay or something💅"
completely unrelated, I LOVE that this popped up in my feed, i miss queen kat
cant believe you didnt show halocene theirs is my favorite cover!!
8:40 bro got me cracking up hahaha
Girl in the yellow hat is fire. A star just waiting to be discovered. She’s got it and she knows it

Damn, I need a full punk rock cover by Cody frost
You should check out loveless version separately...😭 It's amazing..literally the best version...pleaseeeeeeee
got the Eddie from ST haircut, its a vibe
Loving your shirt!
When he said that he is about to try out the "scream" I instantly lowered the volume to 20% 😅
That’s a Lava Guitar. It’s a “smart” guitar that has a digital interface, built in amplification, tuner, looping capability, etc…. Basically it’s an electric/acoustic with a built-in iPod and speaker.
“Oh slay!” lmao he sounded so surprised
btw just saw the channel and think the vids are great
AAA FIRST! HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOUR REACTION VIDEOS TRISTAN!!
TRISTAN omg: Check out Justin Bonitz of Tallah. He gives voice lessons and does really great screams. He’s insanely talented and skilled at screams.
How have you not covered Dimash Kudaibergen yet?
And a part 2 of this one would be awesome. There are so many good covers of Unholy on Tiktok.
absolutely love your hair. its giving me Cisco vibes(no pun intended) from The Flash
I love the ending one where he just goes "Ew" lol
“She was sitting on his rolley”
@halocene's rock cover is my fav
Your scream was good, going from nothing to screaming, as you well know is quite brave actually and its not really done unless you have months of training. I think it was good. And omg so many talented voices, I think about this a lot but its amazing how people are so talented yet that talent is never gonna be used and some people just don't want to use it.

I’ve been trying to find the green sweatshirt scream dude for a while. Not with all 3 people but just his cover
YES! Bmore band Nightlife's singer mad it! I love his voice.
The last commentary
"Eww...👀..." -Tristan
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1st scream was not that bad Tristan 😂❤ You’re gonna get it !!
Halocene's cover is FIRE
