He has one of the most particular voice, that is the most difficult thing to reproduce. I mean he has this voice very very thiny, like a "mezza-voce" if we can define in this term. If you don't born with that voice you can't even try to do something similiar to him. For example i have a bass/baritone voice and my head voice is preatty big and it's impossible to have his voice at all. Maybe for a tenor is better but it's something that has to do just with vocal chords. I think very very few people in earth can try to reproduce exactly his voice but in my opinion you have to born with those vocal chords and other things ..

Listening to you talk about a singer's voice and style is almost as helpful as a lesson. I just get so much out of this.

Jigsaw Falling Into Place is a prime song to vocally analyze. It has a pretty wide range, even for Thom, so much that they've stopped playing the song live, because it's to hard for Thom.

Well you’ve now restarted my Radiohead obsession.

Some Radiohead songs seemed impossible when I started this singing journey, thanks for this.

It would be so cool to hear you react to older singers from back in the day like David Bowie, Janis Joplin, Robert Plant, Jim Morrison, etc. Voices weren’t as super polished as they are now but I found them much more soulful at times.

I love how even Sam can't exactly classify Thom's voice. It's other worldly!

I find myself getting more and more fluent in understanding this singing language.....viscerally understand the “all pitches have their own register” better now than the first time I heard you describe this concept months ago.

About damn time. Almost every live performance by Radiohead is amazing.

The From the Basement performance of Reckoner (or anything from that session) is a great vocal performance by Thom.

I'd love to see you review some Sigur Ros, such as Kveikur or Svefn-G-Englar. Jonsi has an incredible range.

Thanks for doing this video! I freaking love Radiohead, this was great!

Everything Thom yorke does vocally is the correct thing to do 😀

I fully agree with Sam’s comment: Thom’s a wizzard… I love his voice and attitude even when I know nothing about music grammar but I love the feeling I get when it's happening, and that is magic. I can’t argue about the way you have to spell: a lot a lot a bit, cause I’m not an english speaker but it was funny.

Thom's full-ish voice, the eternal mystery! I've been fixating lately once again on his way of singing, so this video helped a lot. Love all your videos actually, and I just realised that I was unconsciously "creating the map" for the past year of all different registrations and how they "feel" in my body and mind!Always grateful for your suggestions and explanations! 🎼

Radiohead and Tom Yorke have a unique sound, I am always happier when Ive heard them. I am always happier after a Sam Johnson video too. Your analysis are always respectful, honest and truly educational.

Thank you for reviewing the methods and techniques Thom Yorke utilizes, I’ve been loving your channel and enjoy the range of styles you overview. Of course everyone requests particular artists from you to do a video on, but I would just like to offer Damian Rice as an artist for you personally to take a look at. He’s a less.... popular I suppose artist but his style is extremely unique and I would love for you to hear it. Thanks for all the work and knowledge!

Ah, god this is one of my all time most re-watched radiohead performances. So good!

One of the most beautiful songs ever!!

FINALLY! I loved hearing you talk about Radiohead. Thank you so much, keep 'em coming!

Best video yet and you have some great ones. Well done!

Finally reacting to my favorite artist!

I love how real you are. You give what your fans want, but also just put out great content, even if it wasn't asked for in the comments. Keep it up man

Thank you for this - Thom is incredible

Nice choice. Super interesting analysis, as always. I have to go listen to this album now.

happily surprised to (finally) see Radiohead on this excellent YT channel. What a unique band , with many brilliant songs, so hauting and powerful that you never think about the technique when listenning to it. You just gest lost.

I read or heard somewhere that in the Pablo Honey days Thom kept blowing up his voice on stage during the tour. When he met Bjork he realized he needed voice training.

Tanks a lot Sam! I Love your videos and I LOVE Radiohead. Love from France!

I watched your TXT reaction video some weeks ago and enjoyed it. I didn't know you also reacted to one of my favorite Radiohead songs!

Lovely! You should definitely do Radioheads song 'Nude' Live from the Basement. Absolutely beautiful.

So interesting! Thanks Sam!

radiohead is one of my favorite bands ever and honestly above all else i just loved seeing you be so happy and passionate listening to them

Saw them do this live at the Blossom Center. Will forever compare concerts to that one.

You should react to one of his early performances of 'street spirit' its incredible how powerful his voice was when he was young

Love Radiohead!!!

Great info. Thanks dude. Subscribed.

So enjoyable to listen to you analyze my favorite singer of all time.

would love to hear you react to some Incubus, maybe from the Look Alive tour - their singer's voice is really unusual and so good on those shows specifically

Ahhhh, Radiohead is my favorite! I’m so happy you did this

I would love to see you commenting on Thom singing Bloom solo

My vocal config for falsetto and light connected voice on the same note feels quite different. e.g., an F# in falsetto tends to feel very back, and "loose", and open. But to add in a bit of connection, I need to make what feels like alot of alot of reconfiguration in my voice. e.g., close down, shift forward, engage some muscles to close the chords, etc. Am I perhaps letting the falsetto note become too far away (configuration wise) than the connected note? Would I be better to let the falsetto note be very close to the connected note, e.g., same config, but let go of the chord closure? I can do that, it just sounds less deep and hooty.

Spida Mitchell, I see Utah Jazz fan, I suscribe. Love your content. All the best!

Seen them once when I was a teen, my first freaking concert ever and I regret that I haven't seen them again...absolutely one of my favorite bands ever

Hello there! Missing your videos (but from artists I like hehe). Love how you need to explain so many details about the complexity of a voice so identifiable. If you do another Radiohead video, could it be Paranoid android, All I need, High and dry, Karma police, Street spirit (fade out), Black star, How to desappear completely, Idioteque, Let down? (I could literally love a video on each one 😅) Your choice for this video is lovely.

The whole good/bad bad/good part had me gagging. I love you so much lmao

Could his head shaking also have another practical use. It almost sounds like it is giving him a slight warble sound from the minor doppler effect on the mic.

Do you typically get copyright claims for these videos? Cool video! I've done a few Radiohead covers on my channel

does anyone have the link to this performance?

Radiohead is amazing.

Thanks for the new radical word - suck... I learn SO much from you and love you❤️

Also Thom is super cool and Radiohead's my favorite. So thanks for reacting to them

I find it hilarious how Sam keeps hitting his keyboard when gesticulating

I have trouble going down from falsetto to chest but little to no trouble going up from chest to falsetto, anyone have any tips to balance this?

This version (from Later with Jools Holland) is my favorite version of Weird Fishes. I rewatch it regularly, and share it with people when I want to tell them about my favorite song (and band) in the world.

Awesome, I love your videos reacting to so many different artists, I know you already did Harry Styles but I would love to hear your reaction on the 'Falling' performance as well as the Billie Eilish - 'No Time To Die' Performance both at the Brit Awards.

Favorite RH song. Helped me get through all three of my baby daughter's openhearts.

hearing your take on thom performing daily battles on the late show would be siiick

Agreed about Thom Yorke, though I'm not really a fan of Radiohead, I really like his style and uniqueness. Brilliant musician.... You spoke about nasality in this video, would you do a video discussing the concepts of it, like pros and cons, why it would be used, and what is achieved when using it? I have a bias against it and I'm not sure why. Of all the pop/alternative songs I've listened to throughout the 80s/90s/00s, there were a lot of nasally vocals that bothered me because I saw them as using the technique as a crutch or shortcut. It seemed like the singers had deluded themselves into thinking they sound amazing, and what I was thinking during the few moments it took as I reached to change the radio station or click to new song was the singer needed more clarity or purity in execution.It still bothers me and I was hoping you might be able to shed some light on what's going on because I probably don't understand it as much as think I do. Thanks!!

Beautiful

wait that video is not in yt?

So glad you listened to this Sam, one of my favorite Radiohead songs. Please react to Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty Stop Draggin' My Heart Around (30th Anniversary Performance)!

Omg you did it!!!! You fucking legend!!!! And my name is in the video! Christmas comes very early this year!

any chance you could do a James Hetfield vid at some point? Especially comparing something live from the 80s vrs. something live recently.

Re your "allotaorabitt" mashup at 2.37; "a lot of" is perhaps the phrase that didn't quite arrive on time. Love your analyses.

Hi Sam, can you review Ernie Zakri - Ku Bersuara (AJL 34)

I don't know much about singing, but I get the feeling that if you wrote a book on textbook singing, Thom might not be someone you'd want to include. That being said, he has a certain way about him, a way of really injecting emotion that a lot of people connect with, including myself.

Radiohead codex

I would love to hear about your students, maybe a before and after story of how they improved?
