There are no vocal rules for Faouzia, she does her own thing and that’s what makes her so special. It’s that Moroccan influence. How about reacting to another Canadian, Lara Fabian (je suis malade) Although she’s originally from Belgium, she lives in Canada.

Never had vocal coaches, she is self taught and it’s so amazing

I’m sorry, but I feel that because he doesn’t truly know much about Faouzia and her background, he can’t fully appreciate everything she’s put into this song, from being a pianist herself and writing the chords to adding her own cultural background to the style. And, yes... those notes ARE HIGH, and her abilities should be acknowledged instead of being put in an average light like he did. She’s extraordinary and everyone should know it.

Say it how it is faouzia is truly an amazing artist and she never gets appreciated for that through this video

Please react to her song 'This Mountain' acoustic version! Her vocals are absolutely brilliant!

The only time I listen to pop music is when someone is reacting to it, and that is pretty literally and universally true. Or when Dimash is singing, as he can do anything and it sounds absolutely stellar. I think that of all musical styles, it basically represents the dregs.... However, this woman, like Dimash, gets a pass from me - not meaning that I pass on her skills, quite the opposite. Composition, stellar. Performance, also stellar. She can do whatever she likes and I'm going to be interested, attentive and appreciative. I loved the breath in the middle of "happens." I suspect she did it as a "mistake" the first time but realized that it adds something special to the song and therefore kept it. Do break the rules when it serves a good musical / communicative purpose. I also loved that strange piano chord. So awesome. And the unresolved nature of the ending - another stroke of genius. She takes a genre that I dislike and renders it into something I do like (this particular example of it, anyway) very much for many reasons. Well done!

I've heard 2 versions of the song and she repeats this inspiration in the middle of "Happen" which suggests that it's not a mistake, but the song is written that way.

Faouzia is a 20yo Moroccan -Canadian (?) She never took any vocal lesson she writes her songs by herself she's a multi-instrumentalist (violin, guitare and piano ) she speaks 3 languages fluently (english, arabic and french) and she still following her engineer studies She did a song (BATTLE) with David guetta on his ICONIC album 7 when she was 17 She made a song with a famous french rapper called Ninho for his album, the song (MONEY) went platinium She sang ( I FLY) featuring Galantis for the film SCOOB She also sang with Kelly Clarkson the arab version of (I DARE YOU) She made a song (MINEFIELDS) with the one and only JOHN LEGEND She also droped out an EP of all her stripped songs .. it's amazingly wonderful and mind-blowing.

All self taught, no teaching, she's amazing

i LOVE her love notes. kinda refreshing.

I’m glad you enjoyed her. Please watch her rendition of “how it all works out”, as well as the first song I saw by her, “this mountain”. All of her stripped versions are the ones worth watching.

I spent a year in Morocco. I went to a lot of gigs and noticed a lot North African singers have that slight yodel like vibrato.

I've been listening to her for a couple years now, after hearing her on TikTok & sing "Born without a Heart"....her voice is amazing & very unique. Love that she writes her own music & her lyrics are as powerful as her voice!

She’s Moroccan living in Canada

You have to wtach more of her. She is amazing and writes all of her songs herself.

She is amazing! Plays piano,violin etc also ! the breath is PART of the song dear!

She sings Desert Rose by Sting.... SO GOOOOOOOOD please react to it 🌹

I love all her songs, it's rare that someone can nail all their songs. You can't go wrong with reacting to her music. I grew up being a big fan of Lara Fabian because she's a powerful singer and storyteller, I find Faouzia does that as well. If you don't know of Loïc Nottet he's another powerhouse, brilliant songwriter, stunning dancer and storyteller. I've recently discovered Typh Barrow also Belgium like Loïc and Lara (though Lara associates herself as also Italian and Canadian). Loïc Million eyes is a good one to check out, impressive dancing in the video, and i love Hurt from Typh Barrow. She's got Amy Winehouse tones.

Ken, loved the video! Quick tip to help you scroll back the video, use the left arrow on your keyboard (it will rewind 5 secs) hit it twice for 10 secs and so on... space bar to pause and play. Hope it helps. :)

as musician you should know in Arabic music we do have a 3/4 note!

I love her 😢❤

i rlly recommend "Born Without A Heart" the official stripped version, and "Elon", the song after the credits in this concert... they're absolutely amazing. Also, there's a full cover of her as a 13 yr old singing "Say Something", u won't believe that she sounds exactly the same. the woman's a genius

Yay! Faouzia

loved the reaction!! please react to more by faouzia she never had any vocal training and btw it’s pronounced as f-oh-zee-uh

I think in her original version she sings the bridge with her power voice!

I loved her Desert Rose

thanks for the reaction!! i enjoyed it so much!! react to bad dreams by her

She is a super talented singer. Love the lower powerful voice. You should definitely do a reaction to Matt Corby’s ‘Brother’ (the live, like a version video). It’s his original song. I honestly think he is in the top 3 most talented male singers in the word right now. And you won’t be disappointed. He also does a great cover of Tina arena’s ‘chains’ and the live cathedral version of his song ‘miracle love’ is also astounding.

Please do more reactions to Faouzia

Faouzia is SO good! You should react to more of her songs!! You Don’t Even Know Me is quite good as well as Bad Dreams and she even sings with John Legend a song called Minefields. The first 2 I’d listen to the stripped versions with her playing the piano, they are SO SO good! Enjoy!😁

Ok, as a fellow Canadian, I find you totally hilarious 😂. Foauzia lives in Carman, MB which is a little town south of Winnipeg, not far from where I live.

She is Moroccan and only lives in Canada 😘

YEEESSS thank u for reacting to faouzia, you should react to ELON also from this concert, is her best performance ever in my opinion, i think you´re gonna love it :)

Yeah her singing is everything but she also looks like a godess I can't take it how gorgeous she is 🙀🙀🙀

Yes she wrote and made the whole thing

You should definitely check out her song Elon from the same live concert

Easily one of the best vocalists I discovered last year. You should listen to more of her, live or stripped versions are great. If you check out some of her tik tok stuff, she does insane runs that will blow your mind.

Omg watch her other songs!! All stripped. Shes my favorite singer!!

her breath is music too so it's ok 😍

That breth @in between words... in between a word@ is in every version i have heard so i know its a rythm breath. But i can see how he think she run out of breath. He dont know her uniqe style. I like him.

Faouzia's a very good song writer/ singer. How do I know this, because Daneliya Tuleshova has covered this song twice and the song still remains Faouzia's. That rarely happens when Daneliya sings a song. Daneliya covered this song first in a truncated version because it was her audition for AGT 2020. After that she covered it again as a more full-length song that is the one you react to because it is most like the original. Daneliya has a lot of similar vocal characteristics as Faouzia those low and dark tones. I think it would be fun for them to share a song Faouzia at 20 is only 6 years older than Daneliya, but Daneliya has as big a voice as Faouzia's. I wish you would give Daneliya a chance. Daneliya is a 14 year old singer from Kazakhstan. If you react to her I can give you more information. Faouzia actually plays three instruments maybe four. Keys, Violin, Guitar and Flute too. I am guessing on the last one but I think I read that some where. Faouzia got a big bump from Daneliya singing her song at Daneliya's audition as Danya soon became the audience favorite. She won all the weekly polls done by Talent Search and Billboard had couple as well. She did very well until that Twilight Zone of who actually votes for the finals eliminated her after her first finals song. She later won the award for best new artist across all the Got Talent Platforms world-wide. I had never heard of Faouzia before Daneliya sang her song. Faouzia said she was shaking through the whole audition because she couldn't believe it. Everybody but Heidi liked Daneliya's audition. She never really warmed up to Daneliya. No matter what she said there was no conviction in her words. I have listened to a lot of Faouzia since then, she even got a duet gig with John Legend out of it. So Please give Danya a chance. Use this song her 2nd one not the audition version. Thanks.

Unfortunately for me she sounds like so many talented younger singers out there. Rounded diction, phrasing and they usually don't speak like that. But hopefully with some singing maturity this will change and she will stand out for her own uniqueness. Nice to see some Winterpeg talent being shared. Edit: Just watched the Jan 28 2021 Minefields video with Faouzia and John Legend. It's beautiful and she is so captivating to both listen to and observe how she emotionally expresses the song's story.
