    Of all the places for Renee's voice to crack, "she'd be lying" is the perfect spot. It adds a bit of extra sadness, or even desperation, to the line that wouldn't otherwise be there (even though it would still be an emotional gut punch without it). A perfectly happy accident.

    It's not about the quick pace, one was a very lighthearted
    song sung by a girl that was still very naïve and full of joy and expectations. This one is more sad and feeling very sorry for herself. Whoever gave you that excuse before was not doing Philippa any favors. It's a different kind of song, so she was applying a different type of voice to it. We can't compare it to what Renee is doing here. Like I wrote earlier, react to her singing "burn". You'll hear the difference.

      I do plan on reviewing BURN very soon.

Perhaps the broadway version of it would sound different. I only react to what I see in each particular video 🙂

    Not sure who said Phillipa's style was because of the quick pace of the song. Her character, Eliza, is meant to be young and naive in that scene. Here, Renee's character Angelica is older and more experienced than her younger sister, so it makes sense for her to have that fuller sound.
    The actors absolutely pay attention to how their voice lends personality to their characters.
    I'm sure many have recommended Philippa's later song Burn in regards to her specifically, but the other actors do as well.
    Jasmine Jones' voice as Peggy Schuyler in the song The Schuyler Sisters is worlds away from when she's a different role in Say No To This.
    Okieriete Onaodowan is so different in Act I vs Act II that it took me a while to realize who he was!

    Phillipa was playing a young infatuated character in Helpless...as her character ages her vocals change to reflect her growth.Totally character oriented choice IMO. Several of the actors including Lin do it. Renee as Angelica is pretty much a self assured badass all the way through the show, bur she gets more tender in a small duet with Lin during this song and then you feel her tension and pain which shakes her composure at the end of Satisfied. Phillipa kills on Burn.

    Note how, just after she sings “at least I keep his eyes in my life,” the stage starts rotating, and she’s having to move her feet to stay stationary in the middle of the turntable.

    this song lies along the same timeline as “winters ball” and “helpless” the two songs prior to this one. this song is angelica saying she will never be satisfied by giving hamilton to eliza, however she did it because she saw how happy she was hence “helpless”. the two songs are extremely different.

    Also for a lot of singers in musical theatre, the aim isn't just to perform a perfect vocal performance. They have to change and adapt their voice to portray the story (hence the difference between Phillipa and Renee) and they are also moving around to further tell the story. Sometimes they may change the way they sing so that is no longer a perfectly rounded and polished sound, but rather an amazing vocal performance that has a storyline

    I like that this song has some slight imperfections in vocals. This is an incredibly emotional song and it makes me believe the performance more when there are imperfections that can be attributed to holding back tears or intense emotion. Reminds me of Anne Hathaway's performance for 'I Dreamed a Dream' when her voice cracked from sheer emotion. But that's a personal preference of mine. It's something I love about live performances.

    Here are a few suggestions of Hamilton songs that you could react to:
    - Wait For It.
    - The Room Where It Happens.
    - One Last Time.
    - Hurricane.
    - Burn.
    - It's Quiet Uptown.
    But, make sure to watch the entire musical before listening to some of these songs. Major spoilers in most of them, mostly It's Quiet Uptown and Burn have spoilers that you would want to avoid before watching the musical fully. (Mainly because the emotional impact is way better watching it entirely for the first time.)
    I would love to see your opinion on these songs. They are all really good and show a range of emotion and have a lot of different characters throughout them. They are also some of the most story-driven songs.

    @katiezellers7106 4 ปีที่แล้ว +137

    I like that you have obvious experience in vocals, but as some others explained there is a lot of character development relayed by the way the cast sings their songs. I feel like you are not completely in the mindset of these being characters and them telling a story. It has been said that nothing in the show is accidental, and that everything has a meaning, the music is a big factor in how the story is told (aside from the vocals). It is obviously perfectly fine to have a preference for the vocal style in Satisfied over Helpless, but to not acknowledge the reasons for the choices, makes your comments come off more as disparaging Philipa Soo for the character choices that were made.
    It may be a good idea to do a full reaction to the entire musical in one video and then doing individual breakdown videos of the vocal styles in each song, that way you are more well informed and can give your opinion on not just the vocals but what the vocals mean to the story; especially since vocal training is not only how to do certain things but knowing why they are being done.

    • @katiezellers7106
      @katiezellers7106 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @JJV1224 True and like I said theres nothing wrong with having a preference, the only slight issue I have is that her opinion seems uninformed because she outright says she hasn't seen the show or watched the entire movie, and didn't address the plethora of "her vocal style is characterization" comments on the helpless video.

    • @katiezellers7106
      @katiezellers7106 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @JJV1224 And that's fine. Im not saying she can't have an opinion or a preference. Im just saying that not even acknowledging the main feedback from another video and not trying to broaden her own comprehension of a piece of art she is analyzing (albeit loosely) doesn't lend credence on her expertise in the musical theater corner of music. I was simply giving a suggestion for a possible better way to plan out informed and helpful videos for those who want to learn about the vocals of Hamilton, not trying to force her to change anything.

    • @katiezellers7106
      @katiezellers7106 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @JJV1224 I think it does. Being a vocal coach is kind of the hook to her reaction besides it being a Hamilton reaction. She obviously has the knowledge of vocal training and gives good insight on the songs I've seen her react to but she doesn't seem to do much when it comes to the story and how the vocals tell a story on their own. Like I said in my original comment, there are two very basic aspects of vocals in musicals (Hamilton in particular), and that's the How and Why. She does a great job explaining the How but doesn't go into the Why, even though they are always linked, so her reactions and info seem very surface level.
      Labeling yourself a vocal coach in a video gives a sense of expertise to everything you say about vocals, in the same way Dr Mike can react to a Greys Anatomy episode or Legal Eagle can give commentary on Legally Blonde and their insight can be viewed as a fact or lesson to be learned. The same thing is happening here, which isn't a bad thing, but it just feels like she could delve deeper and make the videos more meaningful and have more information if she at the very least watched the entire movie.
      The optics of not addressing VERY common comments about these songs in particular and still continuing to make the same statement those comments are referring to can come off as her not caring about the art, the fan base, or her viewers who said it; though I doubt this is the case.
      All in all, as someone who loves Hamilton, I would love to see more in depth reviews and break downs of these songs from her because she obviously knows what shes talking about and I feel I could actually learn something. I feel that adding the analysis aspect to her videos could set her apart from the other reaction channels and help her in the long run on TH-cam as well. That doesn't mean she will or needs to change anything, I was simply giving suggestions.

    I really enjoyed your video and tips! I will say, Philippa Soo's singing style in Helpless is very indicative of her character just as Renee's. I do understand your notes about both, I just thought I'd add this to the conversation.

    I found your channel a few weeks ago looking for Hamilton reactions, and I stumbled upon your Helpless video and thought it was great. Now TH-cam recommended me this video and I have to say, I am loving how into this you are. You seem so genuinely enthusiastic about Hamilton's songs. I wouldn't be surprised if you were just as enthusiastic about the other songs, but even so. IDK how you manage it, but one can visibly see both your reaction to the music AND the performance at the same time, when most people only manage to convey their reactions to one or the other, in their facial expressions at least. That's impressive.
    These two videos I've seen alone shows this channel is several cuts above the other reaction channels, which just stare blankly at what they watch.
    Well done.

    You'll have to watch the whole musical to understand the slight vocal choices, its not a matter of imcompetence its a matter of character development. Algelica being the confident eldest sister make sense for her to be up and forward while Eliza being the naive overlooked overshadowed little sister is the trusting and kind person who hides behind her sister

  • @stevenchoza6391

    I think that nasal thing in “Helpless” might’ve been intentional, if only to serve as a contrast with this song as “Satisfied” is basically a retelling of “Helpless” and the prior song, “A Winter’s Ball,” from the perspective of Renee’s character, Angelica.
    That’s just my two cents on the matter.

    Good analysis and I know this is an analysis of the singing, but you didn't respond to what the song was really about - the emotional part of the song: that Angelica is singing about how she gave up Alexander for her sister. This is a total bombshell that is revealed only in this song and I would have loved it if you had responded to that too, if only momentarily. It's what makes the song so heartbreaking, especially the last 'To the groom! To the bride!' part

  • @lancejohnson8684
    @lancejohnson8684 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    If you were wondering about that scene where she wasn’t singing it was actually the choreography for helpless back wards because they’re rewinding to when Eliza met Alexander from angelicas perspective , and if you’re wondering why she sped up it’s because it’s supposed to represent the speed of angelicas mind going 1000 miles a second

    The fact that satisfied and helpless are both quick-paced songs but are sung differently shows the contrast in the sisters. Angelica is the more outgoing, charming and witter sister and Eliza is the reserved and happy and shy sister

    it would be great if you reacted to the version of helpless from the film as it does phillipas voice more justice than the zoom call with the roots, also the visuals are amazing you will notice that the choreography is the same as in satisfied but in reverse as these two songs are back to back! also, i think you would really enjoy reacting to the harmonies in the schuyler sisters, or even better make a series reacting to all the songs in hamilton!! great video :)

  • @Ines-ps2hm
    @Ines-ps2hm 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I didn't see your reaction to helpless, but I think the difference between this two performers relates to their character. When I first saw the musical, I saw Eliza (Philippa Soo) more (in a way) shy, reserved and Angelica (Elise) the opposite of her sister, more open. I think that's why Eliza sounds more closed singing her song, and Angelica opens more in her song.
    I really don't know, it's just the impression I got when I saw the musical 🤷🏽‍♀️
    Loved your reaction to this performance, and love seeing your reaction to little mix as well ❤️

  • @margaritamondays4985

    I have to wonder if what you’re noticing between this and Helpless is the difference in experience. Pippa Soo is pretty new in this - fresh out of school. Renée is a seasoned Broadway pro - she’s a classically trained pro with a huge resume, who is known for huge vocal chops. She knows exactly how to wield that weapon, whereas Pippa is still learning how to best use hers.

    • @margaritamondays4985

  • @otherbrotherdaryl3283
    @otherbrotherdaryl3283 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just seeing this video now but I love this musical. The song A Winter’s Ball is a prelude to give background on what is about to happen. Helpless is sung from Eliza’s perspective so she’s infatuated and in love so it makes sense that Phillipa has that more nasal sound. With Satisfied, it’s from Angelica’s perspective. The part where they say rewind they actually rewind the choreography and then start the whole choreography of Helpless but it’s what Angelica sees during that song. Which is why Renee has such a fuller tone because she has that remorse of hindsight.

      While I do love Leslie's voice, I have to go with Christopher Jacksons voice over his. It could have to do with the character each played. Burr being more passive and on the fence throughout. And Washington as the stoic, powerful leader of the rebellion. Wait For It is probably my favorite song, but One Last Time is close as well.
