I don't know how to sing much less the technical aspect of it... But EVERYTIME you post a video I watch. Your passion and excitement for what you are putting out is what attracts me to watch. Plus you're funny! Thank you for sharing!
When she sings in the key of Bb, that Bb5 will always be her go to High note if not even some higher notes! But most importantly, you can hear her not only performing but ministering each lyric, note and rhythm coming from a place that allows her to use her voice to the MAX!
Karen is one of my favorite singers of all time. Absolutely amazing. She told me I could “sang. Not sing, but sang.” Lol. So that made me happy... just as this walkthrough video has. Great job!
She may not be in her prime age wise, but the vocal prime is between 40-60 because you voice has settled. Karen and her family will have great vocal upkeep for years to come. Her mom was still singing with full range up until her untimely demise.
I never heard this content like that before This was truly great if not one of the greatest critiques of one of the Greatest legend Gospel Artist. . I am blown away by your explanation. but it very clear to me
This vocal talk-through was/is AMAZING!! I've never seen anyone analyze her voice like this. Very informative and hilarious. I just love how Karen has been singing literally all her life (60+years) and her voice has gotten better and shows no sign of slowing down. Not too many artists you can say that about.
Playing non-C instruments is an obstacle (I fortunately played flute), I have a mental cap on my range that says "I can only sing to *insert note here*", singing in baroque tuning can be hard when reading as well. But yeah, you learn to weather the storm!
I love the way you break down this amazing womans voice. A lot of people can't do this. Especially without comparing her to others voices. Many can't even hear the extras within her techniques. She can't be compared due to the way she actually naturally (not technically) plays with her craft! Many singers that gets compared to her technically incorporate these extras. She actually does them naturally! (Of course she is semi-technical due to her mom and Twinkies training (both educated in the arts). You are amazing man! Im a subscriber now!
Her musical mind truly stems from her drumming-rhythmic genius~ness (same thing with #KekeWyatt) they both play the drums in addition to their VOCAL FEARLESSNESS
Thx young man! #LOVE your Style of commentary! I only wish I would've had THIS back in my day. Old school, but... (maybe it's not too late) 🙇🏽♀️ New Subscriber! Thx. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great breakdown! One word, The Anointing along with musical, technical ability, is true artistry. Have you heard Karen and Dorinda sing , "He'll bring you out" during "A song is born"? We recorded it in 1994, in Deteoit, MI.Karen's melismatic technique was amazing! Their (The Clark Sisters) musical abilities stem from both their upbringing in the COGIC, but also their Classical training from their mother, Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. Which I'm sure you already know. I love your breakdowns, and love your sincere reactions and excitement from your reviews. Keep up the excellence!❤
At first I thought this was just “whatever “.... it I really love this .... how you’re breaking it down... and she’s my faveeeeeeee... I so love her... and she’s so pleasant in person to
You are amazing. Seriously, I can't sing and I don't understand the intricacies of music but you just explain everything so thoroughly and succinct. I enjoy watching you and you have a new subscriber. :)
I love you man ! I used to sing at Love Center, Bishop Hawkinins. Just a choir member. Met all the great "s . You gove it all to us great to hear it explained.
The Clark Sisters are apart of my childhood. Every morning my mama played gospel music. Living in Vain is my song. I love this channel. Thank you for this.
This why critics like shouldn't bother trying to speak on Gospel music, cause they miss the true essence which is the anointing something this guy i believe knows nothing about..just stop talking and Let her sing
Could you post links for the other videos you mentioned? This was a FANTASTIC breakdown. I love the Clark sisters and the Pace sisters. This was such a joy to watch!
Thank you for this!! I love, love, love when you break down music and especially love when it highlights the uniqueness of Black American vocal stylings. You are truly a treasure, creating art that changes the world. Looking forward to more! ☺️🤗😊
HONEY, I DISGREE WITH YOU SAYING THAT SHE HAD HER PRIME IN HER 20S OR 30S....SHE IS EQUALLY STRONG UP UNTIL THIS DAY. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANYONES FEEDBACK ON AN EXCELLENT VOCALIST
Karen gets better and better because her storytelling is now based upon God bringing her back from death! From a COMA and a 2 % chance!!!!!!! It's real y'all
One thing I think many people who study her voice or just her, forget about are her "Vocal Studders" that she learned from her older sister, Twinkie. Twinkie used this method often in the song What He's Done For Me.
Yeah I get you every time she hits a note there's different know she's been doing that since day one nobody can do that but her and Twinkie they are the best at it
@Robbie Gill #Totally Agree💯 Here's the thing, as Gr8 as KCS is, undisputed, I think Without Dr. MMC #training, & Twinkie #tutoring & 🎹 for her as a young girl, #THIS Karen we see 2day, Would #NOT exist. Twinkie is #UNDERRATED & NOT given the Due Credit (in part), for Karen's success. Just my opinion. LOVE'EM BOTH 😘
@@msvm2108 I think the issue here is, although Twink and Mattie helped pioneer and pave the way for Karen, she took the baton and ran with it. In addition to that, she added her touch to it, keeps getting better and has longevity to boot. I'm not here to debate who was best in their prime because, real talk, I am kind of surprised when I go back and listen to Twink from the 70s and 80s. Beast for sure. But I also think that it's no more necessary to interject and interrupt those that are celebrating Karen, than it is to interrupt anyone who wishes to celebrate Twinkie with "But she was influenced by Stevie Wonder!" Everyone was influenced by someone else. It does not take away from their greatness. Karen can be celebrated independently of her sisters. It's ok.
I believe she also plays instruments. I find that many singers who play instruments have another sense of music that singers who only sing don't have. Aretha, Rachelle Ferrell, Kim Burrell, and Oleta Adams have it (piano). Chaka has it (drums). Dorinda has it (organ). This is not to say that those who don't play aren't musical, but I find the ones that do play have a bit more information musically speaking.
@@Swanky723 I meant to say that about Karen. I just forgot to mention it, which was my whole point is that these singers play instruments. It gives them a musical advantage over most other singers.
Right.! And hit a whole... unscathed G5, G#5, G#6 and G7 too.! She did it on several of those McDonald's concerts.! If I ain't mistaken.! I just had to touch&agree on that.!
Disagree with you about her "prime time" of singing. In my opinion Karen was at her best when she appeared in Twinkie Clark-Terrell presents Florida A&M university. Also her debut solo project Finally Karen 1997.
Hi O'Neil I love your videos ❤. Keep doing videos!!! Can you do Jessie J, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston, Tasha Cobbs, Jazmine Sullivan, and when I think of some more I'll tell you 🤗
Greatness Pure Greatness!
Lemme watch all of your video’s because I need know all of these musical terms!
Definitely a great vocalist. I love her echoes.
Yeah I gotta learn that technique
I don't know how to sing much less the technical aspect of it... But EVERYTIME you post a video I watch. Your passion and excitement for what you are putting out is what attracts me to watch. Plus you're funny! Thank you for sharing!
😱🙌🏾😊💃🏾🙋🏾♀️💃🏾**leaving to go listen to "Balm in Gilead "**
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
A secret place!!!!!!!!!
She squalls & growls she really does it all

Her echos are the best her squalls & growls are the best
That was very well explained. Thank you for breaking down every part of her complex and incredible performances
I love thissssss
Excellent analysis. Keep it up!
Your reaction when Karen hit C#6 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I absolutely love her voice as well. I love your channel, I watch you in Nairobi.
Wow! That's amazing! Thanks for watching!
@@oneilgerald in Nairobi too...whoop whoop
Another thing I love about Karen is that she does these vocal stutters which she learned from Twinkie. They are awesome.
I need you to do MORE of the legendary Karen Clark Sheard. She is the epitome for a vocal talent
8:00 she was also doing a little call and response to whoever sang that high note first in the background
She's amazing. My grandmother's fav gospel singer was shirley caesar.
my grandmother's too
Superb musical commentary. I appreciate the technical aspect
of your note by note explanation of Ms. Sheard's vocal expertise.
You're SUCH a great teacher!!
She may not be in her prime age wise, but the vocal prime is between 40-60 because you voice has settled. Karen and her family will have great vocal upkeep for years to come. Her mom was still singing with full range up until her untimely demise.

I love this teaching!
1:34 was me when I saw the video on my feed. COME ON KAREN!
“Gospel is also into timbre manipulation.” 🗣 YES!
Random question - you have perfect pitch?!
Had to me that clarification! And I do have perfect pitch!
Totally jealous! 😂
Naw that’s cool! I wish!
@@jmlegrairstudio You kinda don't, lol. There's some weird setbacks with it that make it a little weird to navigate.
O'Neil Gerald Really????? I wouldn’t have guessed that.
Playing non-C instruments is an obstacle (I fortunately played flute), I have a mental cap on my range that says "I can only sing to *insert note here*", singing in baroque tuning can be hard when reading as well. But yeah, you learn to weather the storm!
Great breakdown
Keep them coming!!!! I love it! Vocal Talkthrough's may be your bread and butter. Lol
Please do more vids like this ppl will watch them.
Please discuss or go over the Kierra Sheard and Karen Clark Sheard something has to break katching Kierra virtual tour video
A breakdown of prime Twinkie is something I’ve always wanted to see 😭
Twinkie on “Accept what God allows” !!!!!!!
@@dariustremaine6784 Watch Ye Therefore or Miracles Waiting is the best I’ve heard her from her mother’s album Watch Ye Therefore in 94.
my favorite singer of all times...hands down...i'm through...
She’s my fave also

@@lonesomewillyhandful8897 No. Only 58 in 2018
"ONLY 58" 😂
Omg how do you start singing an e5 at the beginning of the song😂 not even some of the greatest sopranos do that 🤯🤯
You mean F5? Like..... WHAT?!
Thx young man! #LOVE your Style of commentary! I only wish I would've had THIS back in my day. Old school, but... (maybe it's not too late) 🙇🏽♀️

You are a true musicologist. I am a new subbie. Thanks for giving the Clark Sisters love and respect. Shout out to Detroit ❤️

Dorinda and Twinkie fans, please cut it out. Thanks, management.
KCS and Lashun Pace are the baddest soprano in gospel ever.
In music ever
Rip lashun
Please keep reacting to her PLEASE¡¡
HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD LUVVVV TO SEE A DUET BETWEEN KAREN CLARK SHEIRD AND KIM BURRELL? YASSSS! OFF THE CHAIN IT WOULD BE.
PLEASE do a talk through on Keke Wyatt!!!
No leaving to go listen to Take it by force
❤❤❤
The Clark Sisters are apart of my childhood. Every morning my mama played gospel music. Living in Vain is my song. I love this channel. Thank you for this.
By the way she is 57 years young as myself in 2 days. Nothing gets old but your shoes and you can change them. Lol
Amen!
HOW MANY PEOPLE WANT TO SEE A DUET BETWEEN KAREN CLARK SHIERD AND KIM BURRELL!! THAT WOULD BE OFF THE CHAIN!
WHO ARE YOU DUDE TO SAY WHAT SHE HAVE OR DO NOT HAVE?
She is better now that she is older
This why critics like shouldn't bother trying to speak on Gospel music, cause they miss the true essence which is the anointing something this guy i believe knows nothing about..just stop talking and Let her sing
Could you post links for the other videos you mentioned? This was a FANTASTIC breakdown. I love the Clark sisters and the Pace sisters. This was such a joy to watch!
Could you do a breakdown of her Hallelujah?
Thank you for this!! I love, love, love when you break down music and especially love when it highlights the uniqueness of Black American vocal stylings. You are truly a treasure, creating art that changes the world. Looking forward to more! ☺️🤗😊
How do you know what a note is just from hearing it? That is really skillful.
That lady is an alien. N i mean that in the best way. I love her. All the sisters but Karen is something special. She lives in the rafters
She ecos her self. Like ecos her self. Shes amazing
HONEY, I DISGREE WITH YOU SAYING THAT SHE HAD HER PRIME IN HER 20S OR 30S....SHE IS EQUALLY STRONG UP UNTIL THIS DAY. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANYONES FEEDBACK ON AN EXCELLENT VOCALIST
Karen gets better and better because her storytelling is now based upon God bringing her back from death! From a COMA and a 2 % chance!!!!!!! It's real y'all
Watch KCS we are not ashamed she sang one of the highest ive ever heard her. She was wearing a red outfit
One thing I think many people who study her voice or just her, forget about are her "Vocal Studders" that she learned from her older sister, Twinkie. Twinkie used this method often in the song What He's Done For Me.
Please do Kierra next 😀
do Tamela Mann next!
I wish I could squal 😔 it hurts my throat to even think about trying... Any tips??
CJ this. I just don’t have it🤷🏾♂️
Karen kills when she does that whole echo thing (microphone feedback) with her voice. You should do commentary on how she does that.
Rachelle Ferell" I can explain " please .
Yeah I get you every time she hits a note there's different know she's been doing that since day one nobody can do that but her and Twinkie they are the best at it

You should review the black girls rock Aretha tribute
♥️♥️♥️
PLEAAASSEEE link the videos you referenced in this video. Please.
KCS - THE BEST!!!

She plays organ and drums
@@Swanky723 I meant to say that about Karen. I just forgot to mention it, which was my whole point is that these singers play instruments. It gives them a musical advantage over most other singers.
What do you do or use to make your reaction videos
She can also murder a growled C#6 on my words have power
Right.! And hit a whole... unscathed G5, G#5, G#6 and G7 too.! She did it on several of those McDonald's concerts.! If I ain't mistaken.! I just had to touch&agree on that.!
It'll be nice if you'd feature Vanessa Amorosi or Natalie Weiss in Vocal talkthrough someday.....
She so interesting.. lovd her...
Please do Kierra!
Disagree with you about her "prime time" of singing. In my opinion Karen was at her best when she appeared in Twinkie Clark-Terrell presents Florida A&M university. Also her debut solo project Finally Karen 1997.
That was her late 20's and 30's tho he was on point with all his information
1996 when she sung Joy to the World was her Prime..
K Maur Nawl finally Karen was def her prime , ppl STILL talk about finally Karen
Hey! Would you please do a talk-through on Tiffany Mosley when you get a chance? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Hi O'Neil I love your videos ❤. Keep doing videos!!! Can you do Jessie J, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston, Tasha Cobbs, Jazmine Sullivan, and when I think of some more I'll tell you 🤗
Yey!
I also think she has whistle register she rarely uses 😆
K Maur I’ve always wondered about that lol
Please breakdown Mariah Carey jimmy Fallon Impromptu performance for fans
The word react is more of a clickbait thing to get more views, reactions are really popular on TH-cam.
Why i appreciate Karen for what she brings and her vocal expertise My favorite Clark is Dorinda Clark
She doesn’t sound or look 57
She's about to be 60 yo now.
Sorry, but K.C.Sheard is too loud!
