Same I'm probably gonna cry the entire time listening to debut in her now voice. Rep is just going sound more crisper (if that's the right wording) and not too different from the original version.
Just a little backstory behind the All Too Well piano performance in the video, I thinkkk she was crying and that's what caused the more tremolo-ey sound and the gasping for air 😔😔😔
@@sarahhandberg5185 nooooo, she has been playing it every night on tour as a part of the set on the Red tour...but that of course doesn't take away from the feelings that she might've been feeling
That song wouldn't have been recorded yet at the 2012 Grammys. It was the 2014 Grammys it was performed at and the feelings would not have been fresh as it would have been 3 years after the events of the song. It was just poor vocals. She was crying at Eras Tour and still sounded better.
Wild to think that if her debut album was a child it would older than she was when she was singing Our Song (the younger her) in this video, I love this. I can’t wait to hear her sing her debut songs with her big girl voice.
There are still people saying she doesn't know how to sing... If you have heard her voice only on the concert, from the reels on Instagram it's amazing. Yesterday I saw one about All Too Well, just her voice on the mic. Incredible. Obviously she's not Whitney but cmon, mama knows how to sing. And probably because of all those nasty people criticising her singing she has taken singing lessons. It worked well for her. 👍👍👍 BTW love ur content. 😎
She can sing for sure, doesn't change the fact that pretty much the entire Eras tour that was sung live was autotuned th-cam.com/video/xMNYiDH-fDY/w-d-xo.html . And no, this is not hate, I love Taylor Swift, she's dope AF! Her songs are amazing, her commercial success almost unmatched, her stage presence and charisma off the charts. However it doesn't do her legacy any good when people are being ignorant and won't accept simple facts like that her live vocals on the Eras tour are either lip-synced or autotuned. Doesn't make her a bad singer, it just means that she utilizes a set of tools to make her shows the best that they can be. Like most other artists and shows today.
@@4evermichael88 i think she only uses lip sync in some parts. I was ar her concert myself and you can tell when she's really singing, which is most of the time, and she actually made a minor mistake in one of the songs I have recorded haha idk much about music but most of it sounded pretty real and without autotune to me
I’m sick of the people hating on her saying she doesn’t know how to sing! I agree she has a vocal coach so that she could perform better bcuz it had been awhile since she last toured and she needed the vocal stamina to perform 44 songs with like no breaks! She trained singing 44 songs running or jogging on a freaking treadmill for her fans! There are different types of voices and Taylor is a mezzo-soprano. There are other singers who are mezzo-soprano but it’s rare to ever hear them getting the hate Taylor gets!
her natural, comfortable range of singing voice is an Alto. She has the range to sing mezzo soprano notes, but those notes are not in her natural range and there's nothing wrong with that, it's not anything bad. I think she sings well. has she improved over time, yes. most singers do as the voice matures with age. if you're either using it regularly (vocal exercise) and/or doing extra work with vocal coaches, you're going to hear noticeable difference in the voice over time.
@@fmlovelace1618 so she is a mezzo-soprano but she's more comfortable in her lower register more like an alto. the internet and vocal coaches are confusing me.
Her voice has matured so much. You can tell she’s worked on her voice. From what I can tell she didn’t have the best confidence back then but now she has all the confidence in the world. We fell in love with her because of her songwriting and catchy songs.
She has 100% improved and perfected her craft! She has always been a top musician/songwriter and always claimed to be a songwriter who performs her own songs… now she is definitely a SINGER!! It’s amazing to see the improvement in her live vocals and the development of her techniques. It makes me wonder whether she had adequate coaching early days.
Taylor´s main vocal influences at the time were female country singers Faith Hill, Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, The Dixie Chicks and then from pop world it was mostly Britney Spears and Madonna. You have a high voice and then try put fake country accent over it and see what happens. Well you don´t have to because Debut/Fearless Taylor happens.
my girl is grown now and has perfected her craft, back then she was mainly a kid songwriter now she's a full artist and singer 🥺 makes me emo cause I've been a fan since those old Our Song videos, to me sounds nostalgic
I am a swiftie but I'm also a grown up woman. and I think people hating on her for not being able to sing (supposedly) have a very small definition of what good singing is. They are limiting themselves and they are limiting the arts through that perception. She CAN sing. Does she sing the same way like a 90s pop diva? No. But that's ok. She's still singing! She uses different tones, different placements of her voice meaning she's in full control of her voice
Personally, I love her tone/sound in the Enchanted performance from Speak Now tour more than Eras Tour or any else. It is softer, lighter, weaker but more magical, alluring and suitable for the song than the other strong one.
I don’t I like the Erss Tour Better she sounds so much more fuller and vocally wonderful on The Eras Tour meanwhile on The Speak Now Tour she was still a child and her vocals were not fully trained. I grew up with Taylor to.
@@Jess-y7c Yes, her vocal is better now but as I said that before her tone from Speak Now tour is more suitable for the song when compare to the other. Vocally it weaker but musically it fitter. Speak Now run through my life with lot of meanings and we all know how weak was her voice in the past. Vocally, There are a lot of bad performances in the past 10-18 years but there are also have some really good vocal perfomance and more suitable for the song than now. We all know the emotions on Enchanted and we all know how magical is it. Personally, her sound in the Eras Tour makes me felt like that song is not about enchanting anymore, it was like we hold our hand and sing along with her memories about our experiences that we have had. I love that feeling too but from the point of view of the song, musically, her vocal right now (or in TET) dont have that (SNWT) magic sound from her throat to describe the feeling when we are Enchanted to meet someone who make us blushing all the way home. And this feeling is so, SO real when I listen to her performance from Speak Now world tour.
Could you do a video of the requirements that she would need to keep her vocal chords in check for a tour like this? Like the type of routine that she would need to establish (e.g. the exercises you mentioned for her mouth muscles, speaking quietly before the concert, drills, etc). Or like the amount of times she would need to practice. That would be interesting!
She’s come a LONG way as a singer, but also things to consider are: she’s older now and her voice has matured and depended, she’s switched genres so she doesn’t need that nasally twang anymore, and a lot of these songs aren’t fresh wounds with raw emotion anymore like they were back then. Lots of anger and shaky voice etc because she was feeling it deeply. But regardless, I agree she’s improved so much and I hope people come to realize it and start respecting her voice. So many people say she can’t sing and it’s just not true.
I think our song will always have a nostalgic country twag for me so hearing her adult voice completely replace that is very weird. I really like the fact she kept that playfullness/twang when she played it on the eras tour! Gave me hope for debut tv 🙌💚
Oh, the early days of All too well when Taylor was holding back tears everytime she sang it. This performance of All too well is one of my absolute favorit because it has always just come across to me as her struggling with emotions. But it is amazing to see how much of a diffrence there really is.
METOOO!! I love how her always improving the composing and vocal after achieved so much!! people are judging this and then but she grew stronger and didn't care about these haters so nor will us swifties!
I personally don’t think you can compare our song from then to now and say her vocals were thinner because it is a 18 year difference so her voice has changed naturally. It might’ve been normal for her then but ofc as she grows it’s going to mature. But obviously she wasn’t a professional then so she’s definitely improved on her technique like you said!
This episode reminds us that when we sing it's important to really drop our jaw to avoid jaw tension, voice cracking and voice straining. Dropping our jaw is really important to emphasize and highlight the vowels of the song leading to more louder, clearer and ownership of voice.
I believe she was sick on the Grammys all too well performance, plus just… emotional. But she has improved so much on it regardless if you compare more of her clips
I loved this because the truth is her vocals have 1000% gotten better! The Red era, although one of my fave eras, was hard to watch because I don’t think she sounded her best. I am sure many things were factored into that but now… a whole new more mature open sound. Love it!
Red era was probably the most inconsistent era for her vocally. There were shows she sounded great like her Harvey Mudd College concert or Victoria Secret´s fashion show and parts of Red Tour and then there were some absolute disasters.
I absolutely love her voice now. Although the texture of her voice is a bit lower than her past, but now is very powerful, confident, and straightforward.
From what I read about Swift is that she had a thin voice at first. It was working with a professional coach, like you!, that helped her redirect her singing and make her able to project and sing much better and louder. I did read that her grandmother was a professional opera singer. So it is surprising that Taylor Swift singing was so thin and nasal. This is why there are coaches like yourself. To help singers learn to sing properly But her early work is most likely why the 'Taylor Swift can't sing' meme has stuck with her for years even to today with her improvements and singing really well.
Could some of the earlier country twang fight against some of the vocal "openness" in order to achieve the accent while singing? I know there are fabulous country singers, but I wonder if it's a bit more of a challenge to do both? There are a lot of singers out there who seemingly "drop their accent" when they sing - is it because singing with a certain level of openness sort of forces it to fall off? I think she phased the accent around the Red era (give or take) and then switched to pop, but she also used to amp it up in songs quite a bit in the early days and I wonder if that could also have added an extra challenge? Either way - it is sooooo crazy to see these transformations!
The country accent definitely made it more challenging for her. The thing is that Taylor´s accent was fake, she´s from Pennsylvania, there´s not a chance for her to have natural Nashville country accent.
@@richmaxmchalliwchester1984 thanks!! I did actually know her accent was fake, but it technically didn't affect the question and I was worried about someone challenging that instead of discussing the vocal stuff. Fake or not, I was thinking that accent, intentional for sound or not, would potentially inhibit that vocal openness. A lot of singers from diverse backgrounds don't sing with an accent (or "their" accent), and I am thinking vocal coaching helps with technique... And without sounding too crass (too late), the throat and mouth perhaps have no accent 😂
Even so. Her vocals have improved massively since the Red era. She can sing while being very emotional now without it compromising her vocals the way it did in that performance.
I think her younger voice has a lot of charm personally, plus genre and time period conventions, and of course nervousness around big crowds+playing her own instruments and figuring out stage performance. I really like this video for a great example of how this tone helped her make songs her own when covering them in her speak now days (about 2 mins in to 2.30): th-cam.com/video/F-I7Mdtv0Kk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gQzkrUNUqQjOun4w th-cam.com/video/F-I7Mdtv0Kk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gQzkrUNUqQjOun4w
And the first verse and chorus of this cover (where her tone also works well with the male background singers imo): th-cam.com/video/Aly41-rpd6M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JZU2YunkcBP_fmHV She also acknowledges that she is still learning her stage chops in the intro. I dunno i think her younger voice is also what drew in a bunch of fans globally so it cannot be all just inferior. I love her current voice too, but i wouldn't discredit her old one.
(Sorry for the many comments, i tend to have follow up thoughts!) I would love a video to see what her younger self does well - one of things that made me like her music when i was a kid in a country where country music wasnt really a thing except for hannah montana was her articulation: it's nice to know what a singer is saying, and i think it serves her particularly well since her focus was and is writing! Ive learnt a lot from these videos so I'd be interested to hear your take
The voice for “All Too Well” in 2014 was for the 1989 World Tour. She transitioned from more country to fully pop. So, she tried to give a rock twist to her old songs. For example, Taylor also did the same thing to “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”. But, she did improve a lot over time. Love this video, it really shows her improvements! 🫶🏻
thinking about it, the eras tour this year for love story sounds closer to the actual key of the studio version than the live version in 08'. The GMA live version you looked at almost sounds like its in a lower key than even the original studio version for some odd reason
One of the few things a lot of people (meaning plastic surgeons and what not) have claimed she definitely had done in terms of work is a nose job. Like clear differences. Wondering if she had a rhinoplasty for the nose breathing/sinus issues and just took the offer to get her nose shape changed in the process like many of us are offered for deviated septum and sinus opening. 🤔
Did the era's tour video come from the movie she released on Disney? Yes, her voice has gotten better, but her vocals are corrected/tuned for the film.
That's true of her older concert films too. It's a common practice for artists to re- record their "live" vocals after the fact to make them perfect for release since actual live vocals tend to be rough. Sad to think that on her early live songs even the re-recordings were out of tune half the time! 😂
YOU. ARE. SUCH. A. GREAT. COACH! ❤❤❤ i have always struggled with my nasality... I blame being a fully campy femme gay 😂😂😂 i speak like a 90s new york receptionist working for the ghostbusters 😂😂😂 HOWEVER since watching your vids i feel ive improved so much, soooo many great easy tips to follow AAAAAND you never judge a singer and say theres wrong and right singing techniques (like others do) ...you just recommend best practices ❤❤❤ I ADORE YOU!!
Actually Taylor’s voice was shaking at 4:58 and she was so tense was because of how hard singing that song was. She was hurt and in pain, that’s song was very emotional for her especially after everything she’s been through that lead to all too well. but in the newer one she’s healed and happier.
Cry more than you can handle the fact you’re in crying again I love it when you cry you cry you feel like you’re crying because of your tears I love you so very much you deserve to come to cry you are a beautiful girl you deserve to cry I love your voice and I love your voice you are so sweet and sweet cheese and you deserve to feel so proud and I know you
There are some critics that say Taylor is not singing live or she is singing with a track. I dont think so or really care, I really love her, can you tell if she is live? PLEASE...... Wings of Pegasus is a TH-cam channel that says she's miming her Eras Tour...and he does an analysis..WILL YOU PLEASE GIVE YOUR OPINION ON THAT VIDEO! THANK YOU 😊
I would really love to see your reaction to the Taylor/ Stevie nicks performance from way back when. They did a mash up of their songs and it was very VERY critiqued at the time. It’s what created the line “grumbling on about how I can’t sing” in mean, it was that talked about. There’s a lot of talk about Taylor trying to match with Stevie but their ranges don’t compliment each other, so she sounds worse? Idk. So a knowledgable ear on this (plus any clips from modern day performances), would be really cool!! ❤
I think she was having fun with Our Song at Era's, she probably doesn't sing it much either so she did veer into country fun so yeah not surprised that's her weakest vocal live. Crowd loved it though.
I think she's also learned to sing outside of her accent as well. My mouth is pretty closed when I talk because of my accent and it used to be that when I sang, I'd keep it closed, too. I think Taylor's grown out of her accent as well as matured 😊
A lot of haters criticize her for "not singing well" but I think is even more admirable and amazing that she went from those firsts clips to the TITAN she is today. Her voice is no talent, just so much hard work. Omg, I am so proud🥹❤️
i think i started liking her once she made her new versions of everything for these reasons exactly. Her voice was still maturing when she first made those albums I didnt really vibe with. Once her new records of those came out I was all for it and now a prominent Swifty 🙂
This is what I like to do when I compare OG version vs Taylor’s version now As im taking singing lessons im understanding more those things and learning all Taylor’s vocals skills, something that people who don’t know about vocals don’t know and hate on her 🤷♀️ Small details make the difference only if you have the ears for it
Earlier taylor singing is more like sepreate the vocal and breath, but now she is combine with them. Right breath, and more space, means less push for the vocal cord, is good for the vocal cord, the bad position, will damge the vocal cord, when you're young, you not gonna fell it, as long as you grown, you will find out.
this is the closest that I can find. original: th-cam.com/video/OGDkg3QiJmk/w-d-xo.html (0:37-1:19) eras tour: th-cam.com/video/HFSDfP2Maag/w-d-xo.html (0:31-1:10)
She definitely sounded more nasally as a younger artists but I think a lot of is her voice has changed. She was 16 in the original our song performance and her voice had not matured yet.
@@SongsFromASuitcase lol 😂 what fish?! 🐠 maybe it’s not a fish…got me doubting myself now. Idk it’s something on the lower shelf way behind you. It looks like an angler fish or whatever, like one that could swallow me up. Ill open the video on a bigger screen and look closer when I get a chance haha 😂 (Btw Audrey, this content is top shelf for us Swifties, just so ya know. Thank you and we love you…and your channel, and your husband, and your silly dog…and your editor is king fyi 👑)
Granted I’m not American but while she’s improved vocally incredibly I am curious about you comparing the different way she says notes now, would some of the choices not also be the country accent being heavier then than it is now? I would have assumed that would also have been mentioned
I ll I’ve this! There was talent whe she was a country little girl and talent now. I hear that she was a little rich girl made by her parents but to better yourself, to evolve to her level now, to put a 3 hr concert and work at it to make it happen. It takes talent and hard work.
I think Taylor was actually trying not to cry in the older all too well clip. She has said it's only recently that she doesn't feel emotional when she performs that. Obviously she has improved a ton either way but she legitimately seemed like she was gonna cry

Everyone is waiting for Rep TV, but I can't wait for 35 year old Taylor's vocalist skills on Debut.
Same I'm probably gonna cry the entire time listening to debut in her now voice. Rep is just going sound more crisper (if that's the right wording) and not too different from the original version.
The maturing of her voice is incredible. I never noticed how different she sounded until you compared it! It’s so good
So good and even when she sings old songs now it's so good!! ❤️❤️❤️
stoppppppp, her baby voice is so cute hahahaha
OG swifties love baby Tays voice! It’s how we fell for her. Shes a much better singer now.
It's cute. IMHO, there is no way she'd be able to manage consistent Eras tour sets w/o frying her vocal cords the way she used to sing.
Just a little backstory behind the All Too Well piano performance in the video, I thinkkk she was crying and that's what caused the more tremolo-ey sound and the gasping for air 😔😔😔
Yeah I’m pretty sure you’re right. Wasn’t this the first time it was played live?

@@adabadoskova2915 ah okay. I couldn’t remember if this was before or after red tour
@@sarahhandberg5185 the hair is a dead giveaway 😉
You can see the tears running down her cheeks in the piano version of all too well. 😢😢
The 2012 Grammys, where she performed a All Too Well is where if she was crying because the feelings were still very fresh in her mind
You mean 2014?
That song wouldn't have been recorded yet at the 2012 Grammys. It was the 2014 Grammys it was performed at and the feelings would not have been fresh as it would have been 3 years after the events of the song. It was just poor vocals. She was crying at Eras Tour and still sounded better.
@ Red album was released in 2012. You can clearly see in a performance that she is trying to not cry, which is affecting her vocals.
Red was released in Nov 2012. The Grammys are in February. This performance is from The Grammys 2014. Specifically February 2014.
red was not released in 2014??

to be fair - the all too well performance from 2013 included here is actually not the official grammy performance - it was a rehearsal clip!
I think her old tone and approach was because she was singing country.
I will add to this sentiment by saying she was also trying to maintain a country accent.
@@donnajonesrakaj9798yeah and it was very fake tbh but I still hope she does it for debut tv

Props to who found these clips for the comparison! 👏🏻👏🏻
Taylor was amazing back then, but now she's EPIC!!!! 💜💛
EXACTLY
Thank you David!!!

From what I read about Swift is that she had a thin voice at first. It was working with a professional coach, like you!, that helped her redirect her singing and make her able to project and sing much better and louder.
I did read that her grandmother was a professional opera singer. So it is surprising that Taylor Swift singing was so thin and nasal.
This is why there are coaches like yourself. To help singers learn to sing properly
But her early work is most likely why the 'Taylor Swift can't sing' meme has stuck with her for years even to today with her improvements and singing really well.
Could some of the earlier country twang fight against some of the vocal "openness" in order to achieve the accent while singing? I know there are fabulous country singers, but I wonder if it's a bit more of a challenge to do both? There are a lot of singers out there who seemingly "drop their accent" when they sing - is it because singing with a certain level of openness sort of forces it to fall off?
I think she phased the accent around the Red era (give or take) and then switched to pop, but she also used to amp it up in songs quite a bit in the early days and I wonder if that could also have added an extra challenge? Either way - it is sooooo crazy to see these transformations!
I think you are right. She wanted that twang. So young too.
The country accent definitely made it more challenging for her. The thing is that Taylor´s accent was fake, she´s from Pennsylvania, there´s not a chance for her to have natural Nashville country accent.
@@richmaxmchalliwchester1984 thanks!! I did actually know her accent was fake, but it technically didn't affect the question and I was worried about someone challenging that instead of discussing the vocal stuff. Fake or not, I was thinking that accent, intentional for sound or not, would potentially inhibit that vocal openness.
A lot of singers from diverse backgrounds don't sing with an accent (or "their" accent), and I am thinking vocal coaching helps with technique... And without sounding too crass (too late), the throat and mouth perhaps have no accent 😂
Yeah, uh, her voice is quivering in 2013 all too well because she’s trying not to cry sis
Exactly, she was probably very emotional and maybe even nervous
Thank you I was screaming she's trying not to cry the whole time
@@chloecudden5898regardless she’s cried during performances before and still sounded good. Her vocals have a thousand percent improved over the years.
Even so. Her vocals have improved massively since the Red era. She can sing while being very emotional now without it compromising her vocals the way it did in that performance.
@ATLA99 exactly
Thanks David!!
Thank you David🥳🥳
I think her younger voice has a lot of charm personally, plus genre and time period conventions, and of course nervousness around big crowds+playing her own instruments and figuring out stage performance. I really like this video for a great example of how this tone helped her make songs her own when covering them in her speak now days (about 2 mins in to 2.30): th-cam.com/video/F-I7Mdtv0Kk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gQzkrUNUqQjOun4w th-cam.com/video/F-I7Mdtv0Kk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gQzkrUNUqQjOun4w
And the first verse and chorus of this cover (where her tone also works well with the male background singers imo): th-cam.com/video/Aly41-rpd6M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JZU2YunkcBP_fmHV
She also acknowledges that she is still learning her stage chops in the intro. I dunno i think her younger voice is also what drew in a bunch of fans globally so it cannot be all just inferior. I love her current voice too, but i wouldn't discredit her old one.
(Sorry for the many comments, i tend to have follow up thoughts!)
I would love a video to see what her younger self does well - one of things that made me like her music when i was a kid in a country where country music wasnt really a thing except for hannah montana was her articulation: it's nice to know what a singer is saying, and i think it serves her particularly well since her focus was and is writing!
Ive learnt a lot from these videos so I'd be interested to hear your take
💜excellent lesson. Thanks!
you give me the same energy as kathryn hahn, and im obsessed
Based upon my perfect pitch, the first Love Story performance is in C# and the original is in D so a half-step difference
The voice for “All Too Well” in 2014 was for the 1989 World Tour. She transitioned from more country to fully pop. So, she tried to give a rock twist to her old songs. For example, Taylor also did the same thing to “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”. But, she did improve a lot over time. Love this video, it really shows her improvements! 🫶🏻
thinking about it, the eras tour this year for love story sounds closer to the actual key of the studio version than the live version in 08'. The GMA live version you looked at almost sounds like its in a lower key than even the original studio version for some odd reason
Wow I just got schooled big time. This is incredible! Thank you for this amazing lesson!!
thank you David!!
One of the few things a lot of people (meaning plastic surgeons and what not) have claimed she definitely had done in terms of work is a nose job. Like clear differences. Wondering if she had a rhinoplasty for the nose breathing/sinus issues and just took the offer to get her nose shape changed in the process like many of us are offered for deviated septum and sinus opening. 🤔
I need you. Like, you're the vocal coach I wish could teach me how to correctly sing
Did the era's tour video come from the movie she released on Disney? Yes, her voice has gotten better, but her vocals are corrected/tuned for the film.
That's true of her older concert films too. It's a common practice for artists to re- record their "live" vocals after the fact to make them perfect for release since actual live vocals tend to be rough. Sad to think that on her early live songs even the re-recordings were out of tune half the time! 😂
7:45 well yes this was Taylor’s version so she does now actually own that song.
That's not what she means by "ownership". In this context it means "taking control" of the song, i.e. singing with confidence.
ALL I CAN SAY IS I WAS ENCHANTED TO MEET YOOOOUUUUIIIUUUUUUU
YOU. ARE. SUCH. A. GREAT. COACH! ❤❤❤
i have always struggled with my nasality... I blame being a fully campy femme gay 😂😂😂 i speak like a 90s new york receptionist working for the ghostbusters 😂😂😂
HOWEVER since watching your vids i feel ive improved so much, soooo many great easy tips to follow
AAAAAND you never judge a singer and say theres wrong and right singing techniques (like others do) ...you just recommend best practices ❤❤❤
I ADORE YOU!!
I think in "All To Well" she was crying which caused the quivers and gasping for breath,
LETS GOOOOOO
Lets just say that she always had a nice voice but now her voice is jusr PERFEEECT
The original recordings had more feeling than TV, even though her voice has markedly improved.
Stop judging her voice, everyone's voice is perfect the way they are ❤
Remember she singing for 3half hours and I think it's a 40 song set list..
She knows we are singing with her.❤❤❤❤❤
Actually Taylor’s voice was shaking at 4:58 and she was so tense was because of how hard singing that song was. She was hurt and in pain, that’s song was very emotional for her especially after everything she’s been through that lead to all too well. but in the newer one she’s healed and happier.
Taylor singing in 2007 sounds the exact same to me 😭 just a younger sound 🥺
Cry more than you can handle the fact you’re in crying again I love it when you cry you cry you feel like you’re crying because of your tears I love you so very much you deserve to come to cry you are a beautiful girl you deserve to cry I love your voice and I love your voice you are so sweet and sweet cheese and you deserve to feel so proud and I know you
Style from 1989 world tour vs eras tour
There are some critics that say Taylor is not singing live or she is singing with a track. I dont think so or really care, I really love her, can you tell if she is live?
PLEASE......
Wings of Pegasus is a TH-cam channel that says she's miming her Eras Tour...and he does an analysis..WILL YOU PLEASE GIVE YOUR OPINION ON THAT VIDEO! THANK YOU 😊
He picked only one song to evaluate. I'd have liked him to pick a few, considering how many there are to choose from in the show.
for all too well (2nd one) she used to cry all the time performing it cos it made her really sad/emotional 🥲🥲🥲
She sounds nervous. Oh baby Tay ❤
I would really love to see your reaction to the Taylor/ Stevie nicks performance from way back when. They did a mash up of their songs and it was very VERY critiqued at the time. It’s what created the line “grumbling on about how I can’t sing” in mean, it was that talked about. There’s a lot of talk about Taylor trying to match with Stevie but their ranges don’t compliment each other, so she sounds worse? Idk. So a knowledgable ear on this (plus any clips from modern day performances), would be really cool!! ❤
I am pretty sure that Taylor said herself she was sick during the original all too well performance
That voice you use to show super thin vocals sounds like someone off of Sesame Street I'm dead 🤣
Do you know Enchanted was for Adam Young (lead singer OwlCity)❤😂
I’m exciteddd
React to her acoustic performances at the eras tour. She's so amazing!
Thank you David. ❤
I also think when she was younger she thoight she should sound a certain way, especially in the country days. Her lower register is soooo much better
I think the old and new versions both sound good because they sound better than me 😂
I think she was having fun with Our Song at Era's, she probably doesn't sing it much either so she did veer into country fun so yeah not surprised that's her weakest vocal live. Crowd loved it though.
I have noticed the difference in her voice & improvement over the years but this was really interesting!
I think she's also learned to sing outside of her accent as well. My mouth is pretty closed when I talk because of my accent and it used to be that when I sang, I'd keep it closed, too. I think Taylor's grown out of her accent as well as matured 😊
I love this video!
A lot of haters criticize her for "not singing well" but I think is even more admirable and amazing that she went from those firsts clips to the TITAN she is today. Her voice is no talent, just so much hard work. Omg, I am so proud🥹❤️
Of course people will judge when they don’t know ANYTHING ABOUT VOCALS AND TECHNIQUES.
It’s always been like that
i think i started liking her once she made her new versions of everything for these reasons exactly. Her voice was still maturing when she first made those albums I didnt really vibe with. Once her new records of those came out I was all for it and now a prominent Swifty 🙂
This is what I like to do when I compare OG version vs Taylor’s version now
As im taking singing lessons im understanding more those things and learning all Taylor’s vocals skills, something that people who don’t know about vocals don’t know and hate on her 🤷♀️
Small details make the difference only if you have the ears for it
Love it!
Earlier taylor singing is more like sepreate the vocal and breath, but now she is combine with them. Right breath, and more space, means less push for the vocal cord, is good for the vocal cord, the bad position, will damge the vocal cord, when you're young, you not gonna fell it, as long as you grown, you will find out.
4:46 her voice is shaky because she was kinda about to cry since this is a very emotional song
Yyyaaaasss tay slayssss❤❤❤❤
She’s the best vocalist of our generation ❤
this is the closest that I can find.
original: th-cam.com/video/OGDkg3QiJmk/w-d-xo.html (0:37-1:19)
eras tour: th-cam.com/video/HFSDfP2Maag/w-d-xo.html (0:31-1:10)
She definitely sounded more nasally as a younger artists but I think a lot of is her voice has changed. She was 16 in the original our song performance and her voice had not matured yet.
that fish in the background is scary
I know, I can’t.
what fish? You mean my Disney Muppets backpack?
@@SongsFromASuitcase lol 😂 what fish?! 🐠 maybe it’s not a fish…got me doubting myself now.
Idk it’s something on the lower shelf way behind you. It looks like an angler fish or whatever, like one that could swallow me up.
Ill open the video on a bigger screen and look closer when I get a chance haha 😂
(Btw Audrey, this content is top shelf for us Swifties, just so ya know. Thank you and we love you…and your channel, and your husband, and your silly dog…and your editor is king fyi 👑)
@@SongsFromASuitcase possibly haha
Not sure you noticed it but 21:08 sounds like 60% backtrack in her vocals
You have to admit that she has a twang with country music, Did you ever think about that when we are giving us a class. lol
For enchanted it isn’t light it’s night did any one notice
Another singer that I suggest that you analyze is Selena Quintanilla. If you like her music then you’ll like the movie too starring JLo.
She watched the movie. It's on Patreon but no idea when it will be posted on YT
Granted I’m not American but while she’s improved vocally incredibly I am curious about you comparing the different way she says notes now, would some of the choices not also be the country accent being heavier then than it is now? I would have assumed that would also have been mentioned
I ll I’ve this! There was talent whe she was a country little girl and talent now. I hear that she was a little rich girl made by her parents but to better yourself, to evolve to her level now, to put a 3 hr concert and work at it to make it happen. It takes talent and hard work.
Tbh i prefer her vocals in the speak now tours better , probably cause they devote raw emotions
I think Taylor was actually trying not to cry in the older all too well clip. She has said it's only recently that she doesn't feel emotional when she performs that.
Obviously she has improved a ton either way but she legitimately seemed like she was gonna cry
19:23 just react to the first note of enchanted then and now its crazyyy 😅
