Classical Singing Coach Reacts to Greta Van Fleet (ft. Yaz Stelling)

- In 2019, I watched some Greta Van Fleet clips with my dear friend Yasmin Stelling (a classical soprano singer and vocal coach) to see what she had to say, and it was a lot of fascination and fun. What a huge musical heart made of so much love and knowledge, and I feel compelled to celebrate it by finishing this video. We miss you, darling.
Finally someone who doesn’t ONLY react to Highway Tune. It’s a great track but they’re so much more than that song.
yeah their music expand a lot after Highway Tune.. and latest track don't even sounds lik 70's
Heat above , edge of darkness, safari song, stardust chords, trip the light fantastic, tears of rain, black smoke rising and built by nations most fire from them
I’m just now looking at “GVF reaction” videos, and i can’t believe everyone used Highway Tune. They’re absolutely more than that song. This is definitely the best video so far!!
I think it’s hilarious that during black smoke rising they talked about a yodeling effect because they came from a little German village in Michigan which just cracks me up.
I noticed the yodeling effect years ago as soon as I first saw them ! He does do it and it is very unique !
just saying love the zeppelin profile pic
Swiss yodel, Germans not nearly as much
@@patriciaadams4171 yes fr. I'm from Michigan about an hour from Frankenmuth. Nobody yodels lol
@@iamlascivious7584 Love it . . . I live in Bay City, Michigan, about 15 minutes from Frankenmuth . . . and you are right Lascivious . . . no yodeling over here. haha.
I am heartily sorry for the loss of your friend. She seems a beautiful soul. And I very much enjoyed watching her react to the modern miracle of GVF.
I am truly so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this sweet memory. Sending you love. God bless you 💜🌼
This just popped up as im a Gvf fan. The first part brought a tear to my eye and the rest made me smile. So sorry for your loss. Hold on to those memories
OMG she was so very beautiful and so obviously talented. Such a shame to find her and lose her all at once. A light gone out! RIP
How did she die?
So very sorry for your loss...😥💔🙇🏼♀🙏🏻 thank you for releasing this video....love GVF! Hugs...💜💜💜💜
Usually, when I watch the “reacts” videos, I notice a couple things 1) the professionals usually like the same parts that I do, and 2) they always tell me why I like them. In a way, it is kind of like an approval to enjoy a certain song and/or genre. It sucks that she is gone, and I’m glad that you didn’t edit her down. This should serve as an unfading memory to you!
I'm really sorry for your loss. I cried a little when I saw here and watched her reaction, she seemed like a very sweet soul, she is now with a the musical geniuses that have passed too. I know that she is watching down on you, making sure you stay safe and watching you enjoy what you do!
Such a voice of an angel your friend Yaz. Our loss, the cosmos gain
Thank you for this, Tess. Quite the gift for GVF fans! Yaz articulated her reactions so well. I've watched just about every "pro" vocalist/coach reaction video out there on GVF and she's the only one I feel really nailed it. She's the only one I've seen who noticed Josh's little yodels. Since he grew up in "Little Bavaria" and their grandfather is in the polka hall of fame, I suspect he knows how to do a proper Bavarian yodel and it comes through in his vocal stylings. Yaz was beautiful, talented, open and articulate. What a loss. I'm so sad for you and anyone who knew her.
P.S. I'm surprised you chose two live TV performances, notoriously not Josh's best because they make him really nervous and you can hear it in his voice. He admits to having done 4 shots of tequila just to be able to get out on The Tonight Show stage.
Thank you for your kind words about Yaz, we miss her every day and her love for music was second to none
What a terrible loss! Beautiful and someone who actually made me understand a little about singing voices. It’s Nov. 9 2021, and I just discovered GVF about 3 hrs ago! This 65 yr. old is their newest fan!
So sorry for the loss of your amazing friend.
I hope Josh takes good care of that voice. I think he sounds more like Geddy Lee of Rush but the group is an amalgamation of many 60s/70s power houses. GVF has moved to Nashville & is kicking off their tour here tonight.
☮️❤️🔥🕉
Im so sorry for the loss of this beautiful human.Thank you for sharing her with us. In this video you can feel the bond you two shared, so engaged with each other. Much love ❤️
Bless you Jasmine. Now a star shining in our night skies. Your comments total respect.
Thank you for sharing a moment of your friends life with us. It seems you were very lucky to have known such a beautiful spirit.
What a lovely tribute to your friend! I really enjoyed listening to her talk about singing.
The lead singer of the Kings of Leon also had a yodelly type of voice Yaz talks about.
Man I would’ve loved her reaction to light my love and heat above. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Me too. My very first thought hearing Light My Love is that she would have loved it 🥺 same with Broken Bells 💔
Light my love and heat above have easily become my favourite Greta Van Fleet songs since I fell in love with Highway Tunes and Black Smoke Rising
Bless your heart for sharing and honoring this friendship. I had just heard a cover GVF did of Adell’s Rolling in the deep. You can really hear how josh has come into his own style.
Just came across this video. I was so sad to hear that your lovely friend featured here had passed away. I learned a lot from her about the technicalities of Josh's singing. I wondered about half way through if Josh actually thinks about emphasizing certain vowels more, or the gravely affects of certain lines or if he just sings like that. I know some singers are very particular and analyze every line. At any rate, thank you for posting this video. I'm sure it wasn't easy to watch, but Yaz is still teaching people like me a year and a half later! It seems like she would've liked that.
I'm sorry you have lost your friend. She seems like a very gifted and fun person to have known. Some people come in our life for a short time, but make a huge impact, and it reminds use to enjoy are friends an loved ones, everyday. She looks so young, what a shame. Prayers for you and everybody that she impacted and are missing her so much now. I'm a huge GVF fan for about a year now and they seem to be getting better on each new track they put out.
Yaz is awesome. You are amazing. Thank you for being so strong and sharing this with us. A great loss to the music universe.
First off, absolutely heartbreaking to hear she passed away, I am so sorry for your loss and everyone who knew and loved her.
Second, THANK YOU! I adore her reaction and I would have watched her react to every single one of their songs. She was so constructive and appreciated a plethora of details most people miss. Thank you thank you thank you Yaz and Tess ❤️
Love from a complete stranger
This is so lovely, thank you
Awesome seeing someone who loves GVF as much as you do! Love her reactions to Josh! So sorry for your loss!
This my very favorite GVF reaction video ever. Love that Dear Jaz is a classically trained singer.
I clicked to watch her reaction to GVF but am just saddened to know this young lady is no longer with us. That is tragic. Blessings to you & everyone affected by her loss.🙏
What a beautiful soul. Thanks for making the video with her. May her legacy live on.
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.
The loss of loved ones is really a painful experience. It's a feeling that gets better over time but never goes away. I also like all of us had the experience of this and omg I never want to feel that again, but I will as all of us will. God Bless and enjoy life while you are here.
I went down a rabbit hole of singing coach reactions while at work today. I started this video and went back to my paperwork. During the intro I had to stop what I was doing and turn back to the screen. Broke my heart. So, now I've cleaned up my ruined mascara and I'm just incredibly sad at the loss of your friend. My heart goes out to you. I wish I had known her.
Sending Positive Loving Energy, now knowing that beautiful Jaz is now of Spirit. Spirit remains with those they love. Blessed Be, Dear One Jaz, now sharing her beautiful voice with the Universe. Tess, thank you for sharing her with all of us.
This singing coach is a lot more knowledgeable than the last one I listened to on TH-cam about Josh voice. Yes I studied opera.
Yaz was beautiful & I'm so sorry she is gone.
She was spot on about Josh's voice! She was an old soul I think❤
I will confidentially say to you right now that as a long time GVF fan and given the fact that you posted this video 3 years ago that No matter what we will listen to you and your loss of your dearest friend Yaz. Losing someone that you had a good connection with sucks and can be heart breaking. We are here with you even after this many years after her passing. May she Rest in the most peace and thank you both for this amazing video.
Thank you so so much for this lovely comment. We're coming up on the fifth anniversary of her death this year and comments like these make it a little easier. She rests in peace and power, singing in the sky.
Blessed Be to your dear beautiful friend
She's always with you. Always
Charming, skilled lady. Sorry for your loss. Thank you for letting us see her.
You're energy is amazing.. thank you
So sorry for your loss. This seems like a nice way to remember her. ♥️♥️
Tess...I lost my best friend in 2019 after a six month battle with cancer. Your friend seemed amazing and you obviously had a wonderful friendship. Bless Yaz.
Oh my god, all my strength to you and your loved ones. Thank you so much for telling me this, I feel honoured for you to feel safe to share your story. Both our friends will always be gifts to this world.
Thanks for putting this out. ❤
Sorry for your loss excellent video honoring your friends memories she was a great person human being thanks so much for the great content keep up the great work good luck filmmaking
What a lovely soul and truly stunning. RIP
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing it with us all❤
Hi Tess, just found your channel. My daughter and I are long time huge Greta fans and have traveled to see them at Red Rocks and last August at The Quarry near Nashville where we used to live.
I almost fast forwarded to the time you mentioned at the beginning but something didn't feel right about that and I'm so glad I did not.
I have experienced a tremendous amount of loss in my life and my heart is just breaking for you Tess. I watched the whole video through tears and I'm still crying as I type this. It is so obvious in the video how much you treasured this Yaz and it is also very obvious how incredibly special she was. I mean you both were finishing each others thoughts and sentences. Why do the really good ones always have to leave way too soon. Yaz had the best understanding of Josh's vocal performances out of any I have ever heard. It was really amazing to hear her explain his techniques and she noticed everything.
I hope you're doing well and wanted to let you know that you seem so fun that I wanted to see some of your other videos so watched 'Friend Of Mine" and it was so beautiful but it hurt so deeply. I'll have to try some others when I have some time.
Thank you so much for this lovely comment, I hope you can find some joy and lightness in my channel too, that's exactly what Yaz and I wanted our video to be
So sorry for your loss. Loved her critique💗
Thank you for putting this video out.
I was just looking for a different gvf reaction but you talking about your friend is heartbreaking. Sorry for your loss. Great reaction too. Thanks for posting this
I know this is old but would love to hear her react to Heat Above! Lots of range , lots of Yodels! I'm hearing a new album coming out in April. seeing them in Sep. Can't wait
Oh my - sorry for your loss, from Oz. I was just watching this a few weeks back. What a gorgeous girl she ‘IS’. How did she pass? What a tragedy....again, sorry. May she RIP 😔
wish she could’ve heard light my love cause josh sings without the growl more in that song!! 💗
Me too 💔 same with Broken Bells
First I want to say I’m sorry for your loss. Very sad to hear..❣️ I’m new to GVF’s music (and you too Tess) and I had some trouble getting into Josh’s voice. Love all the brothers (and the drummer too) they are extremely talented especially for their age. I believe they’ll stay together because they’re brothers and if they can stay away from too much partying and not kill each other, they will have a really long career. I listened to them after someone mentioned them and I really like them (again just not the singer) but I’m into them now. I played Highway Tune about 50 times with air pods yesterday and I sound terrible. I’m always waiting for the firemen to kick in my door, thinking there’s someone hurt! In the end I’m just telling my neighbors their welcome ;) Great to have a real hard rock band that’s just bare bones kick ass rock. Like a garage band with just the guys jamming. Real rock n’ roll, that will never be die. Thank God 🎤 ♥️ 🎸 🎧🎵 🔥 🎶
Hi Tess! Excellent your reaction! Cheers. Congrats! The rock band Greta Van Fleet is The Soundtrack of my life! 🎸🎸🎸👍🎧🎼👋🍺
💕So sorry for your loss, may she fly with the angels.🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🌸.
Having 3 sons myself, I'm gonna venture to say that Josh got his range from yelling as boys do, especially when there's 3 around the same age! So, he has had his lifetime, so far as it can be in his early 20's, and I think he's just going to get better, if possible, as he keeps being front man for the great Greta Van Fleet! Rock on 👍🏼🤗
Have you seen any of the interviews here on You Tube? There is one out there with both sets of parents where Karen Kiszka speaks about one of the first sessions where Danny came over she found Josh and Jake fighting, Sam sitting there watching, and Danny just looking. Thankfully they have grown out of it.
So sad you lost your friend. Black Smoke Rising is my favorite GVF track.
Yes finally. I’ve been saying he sings a lot in a falsetto. People be telling me nooo. Yes. She is Special.
Josh does not sing in falsetto. I noticed that too. She was wrong. He sings in full voice as every singer should learn to do. I was singing full time for years before I went to one of the best vocal coaches in the U..S., Mark Baxter. He saved my career.
His voice lacks the warmth that would come with a full chest. He’s all up in his head voice at best.
I am so sorry for your loss, thank you for sharing this with us.
What a loss. Your friend seemed really special. Her explanations were really informative, I learned some new things from her. Best wishes from NW Ohio, about 100 miles south of Frankenmuth, Michigan. :)
That was fun! Thanks to you both...
Mate this breaks my heart.Such a great review.I was there in Sydney and yes it was brilliant.
Great video. So sorry for your loss. I love Greta Van Fleet, and also a die hard Zeppelin fan.
I'm so sorry about your friend. Young people are not suppose to die before old people. I hope your happy memories & love of music bring you comfort.
thats a stupid comment death knows no age
Finally someone notices the yodeling he ads to his falsetto ! Listen to the new Age of Machine , he really uses the yodeling effect
Yes!! I noticed the unique sound of it in Black Smoke and wondered what to call it, as soon as Yaz said yodel I knew it was right! She always had such interesting things to say about music and singing that none of us would think of :(
@@TessConnellan I was wondering when someone would notice or say something about it before she or anyone else ever said anything ! Two guys online listened to Age of Machine as to rate it and all they kept saying was that it sounded like the 70s and Josh sounded like Robert Plant ! I kept thinking why don't you come up with something pertinent , and talk about him having his own unique style , and how he throws that refreshing yodel signature in to these Rock Riffs !! Don't you hate it when you notice something important yet the host announcers seem to just let it slip right by ! But you're right that girl knew what she was talking about ! And I'm just glad someone finally said it ! I hope it starts getting tossed around more often , as it is very unique !
I also like Greta Van Fleet and I'm terribly sorry for the loss of your friend. May God bless!
Thank you for creating and sharing this video. I love the different perspectives in this video. Please share more video collars. entertaining and very informative. Love it
Most of the time, new artists that are similar to classic artists are being compared and conclude that they are imitators which I believe is unfair. Unless we know their backstories then we can assume such an idea. Sometimes it is just a coincidence that the new artists' styles are in the same musical categories or sounds or voices or genres as the classic musicians being compared to.
@Bbjones Jones Exactly, you are just affirming my point.
I’m so so sorry for your loss. This is a fantastic video. You’re friend is amazing!!! 💜💜
Edit- This is absolutely the best GVF reaction video!!!
Yes she is amazing, thank you for your lovely comment
@@TessConnellan i keep seeing GVF videos on TikTok and almost every time i think “i really want that singer’s opinion on this”. The two of you definitely made an impact on me.♥️… i literally teared up typing this. 🥲
@@coryhall561 OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ANGEL!!!!! I'm so honoured we could make you feel this way!
Great video Tess, you two seemed to really get along so nicely, I am so sorry for your loss. Yasmine comes across as very sweet. I'm also liking the picture in the background, I believe it's Australian Aboriginal art, but there seems to be some African elements as well?
Yeah the picture is Indigenous art, my mother got it in western australia
Hello felllow Sydney sider --I adore GVF and their talent continues to mature - I have heard Josh described as more counter tenor and using head voiice but the tracks were possibly different. Three things I would like to say - first I am so sorry that your lovely friend has passed but she is surely like Josh himself sings - 'her mind is a stream of colours floating above our sky' The new able is gorgeous and Light My love I would like to hear you talk about - it makes me smile and cry at the same time. And maybe one day we will both be at at GVF gig in Sydney.
I'm thinking Flower Power was the first song they ever wrote.
They've said in interviews that Highway Tune is the first one they wrote together. I think the twins were 15 and Sammy was 12.
@@kindking8009 Them being 15 and making up THAT song is so insane to me, when I was 15 all I made were questionable decisions about desserts
@@TessConnellan You'd be surprised how many of a band's early hits were actually written between 12-15. I'm sure they're in a much rougher state at that point then polished up later. If you listen to very early GVF (2014-2016) you'll know what I mean. But kids at that age are more free and less likely to follow a template. For example, the boys didn't even realize Highway Tune has no bridge between the verses/chorus until they recorded it professionally and it was pointed out to them. But it's perfect that way!
@@TessConnellan And for the record, I love how their sound has evolved, but Highway Tune is still my favorite. It just makes you want to drive fast! I was not surprised they used for the trailer for Ford vs Ferrari.
They've also said that Heat Above was written earlier too but they reworked it for this album.
So sorry for your loss Tess.. I enjoyed this vid very much.. YAZ was so cute.. very sad..
You made the right decision. She seems like a very sweet girl who really knew her music. RIP Yaz.
I’m so sorry to hear Jas has passed away! Such a huge loss. 🥺
Hey, a contemporary vocal student here! I've been working on my rattle for a while now (the vocal effect Josh does a lot). I know you guys called it growl here, but we mean the same thing, there are just different definitions for the effects.
Anyway, my point is that I feel like things like rattle are easier to apply on higher notes? Because you were surprised he could do it on the high notes. For me, anyway, it's way easier to do it on high notes. :)
I´m sorry for your loss. It´s a very educational video :) thank you
Watching this in 2021, I’m sorry for the loss of your friend .
On another note what do you think of the newer songs ? My FAVS are light my love , and heat above !
Little late to the show but so sorry for the loss of your lovely friend. Great video ! So interesting.
Sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing this video. 😘
"that yowl is not to be trifled with" ain't that the truth
I don’t presume to know why God took her early but the heavenly host has a new beautiful soul.
Jon Anderson of YES is one of the highest voices in prog rock, that came to mind when you were discussing the issue.
So sad to learn of Yazmin's passing, my deepest condolences, I am sure she is angel singing in heavenly paradise. OM TAT SAT
I got to see them a year or so before they started becoming more famous.. They played at this little music festival at the Tittabawassee township park in Freeland Michigan...
That's so cool!
@@TessConnellan I can be to their home town in about 35 minutes from where I live..
@@shrapnelsbunker736 wow that's close
Sorry for your loss honey
Bless you child. I’m sorry for the loss of your dear friend! Godspeed
I love van fleet as well I am gald u guys reacted to then
I can't believe this beaitiful soul is no longer in this world that's so sad
All love to you.💜
Tess were you at the 2023 March Tampa DIG show by any chance? I could swear I heard your voice! 🫶
❤ love GVF
Would have loved to see her react to heat above, rip 🥺♥️
Thank you x
There were other bands that had dynamic vocalists like Rush. You can hear Lee, Plant, and these kids are influenced by bands like J Geils, REO Speedwagon, Kansas, etc... etc... etc... Everyone says Zeppelin but I've only heard them tip their hat to Zeppelin on two songs.
I’m so very sorry for your loss I hope you’re okay
GVF rules!!!!
What a beautiful voice,an angel! Yaz
I've?no idea who ayaz is but I'm so sorry for your loss
I LOVE singing in the rain and this made my day
I'm so sorry you lost your friend.
So awesome 😊
She would have LOVED Light My Love 😢
Especially the live version, that was my first thought upon hearing it :(
i’d love to hear what she has to say about their new album!
I’d love to hear it too but as the video intro says, she’s sadly no longer with us
@@TessConnellan i was just checking out the other videos on your channel and was so sad to hear an out that. I’m so sorry for your loss. She has such a beautiful presence. I’m sure wherever she is now, she listened along with you.
