I love that you can really tell she's just having fun and being herself.

You’re right, in Australia we don’t emphasise the ‘r’ in ‘before’ so her accent is coming through. I love it when there is appreciation for Australian artists! ❤️

lol that was good

A few things about Tones & I (Toni Watson) that are interesting. This time last year the then 18-year-old was a full-time busker and living in her van -- a few months ago she purchased a house in an outer-Melbourne suburb for $830,000 (that's a bit over 400K in British Pounds) for a family member, and only a couple of weeks ago bought a $5.1 Million Dollar (approx 2.5 Million British Pounds) mansion in a beautiful beachside suburb in Victoria. The song 'Dance Monkey' was partly inspired by an incident when she was busking and some drunk women on a hen's night were invading her space, touching her keyboard and generally not giving her any respect as a performer. With 24 consecutive weeks at #1 her song surpassed Bing Crosby's 'White Christmas' (22 weeks), Ed Sheeran's 'Shape of You' (15 weeks) and Abba's 'Fernando' (14 weeks) in being the longest lasting #1 hit ever in her native Australia, while in the UK she surpassed both Whitney Houston and Rihanna & Jay Z as the longest #1 by a female performer (11 weeks). It's been a #1 hit in over 30 countries. Not bad for a song that cost her approximately AU$700 to record.

She’s only 19 😱😱😱😱 I honestly thought she was late 30,s.

When I originally heard this song on the radio, I thought she was a little Spanish lady. Totally didn't expect her to look like that.

@@FoxyHxCMacfly I know what you mean, the first time I heard "rolling in the deep", before I saw the video, I thought to myself 'she has to be black', because I didn't think that powerful a voice could come out of a white womans voicebox. If you believe in reincarnation then Adele is a reincarnated black woman.

She's so commanding, i really love this kind of musicians. Free, charismatic, joyful and when you feel that energy you become part of it. And that's honestly huge, really really an incredible thing to achive. It reminds me AC/DC concert which is my greatest memory actually. I never enjoyed that much in my whole life, can't described accurately right now but i feel same vibe when i watched her. What a joyful girl, best luck & wishes.

Absolutely, she kind of commands the stage with the king of swagger you just don't see often. Even the rappers don't quite have it. Its kind of a Freddie Murcury vide. That dude strutted like a peacock and could blow down the house with 50k in the audence. Swagger plus the talent to back it up, is always fun to see.

Singing with emotion...thats all we need from music...

She really is a unique artist, who i hope isnt a one hit wonder. I want to hear more. QUESTION why do we lose accents when singing, always found that weird.

@@kevinlacey1166 It's a stylistic choice. Unfortunately the Aussie accent doesn't sound so nice when it comes through in singing so most Australian artists in pop or rock will sing with more of a British or American tonality

I've been wondering why the beat and style were so attractive to the ear for while now. Thanks for pointing out the Jazz aspect and undertone, that's exactly what is was. Been watching your videos for a year or so already, but you just got a subscriber for this reaction.

i love toni so much and her music, i cant think of anyone not liking it!!!

I've seen some good number of vocal coaches' reactions on various songs but I just want to let you know, you really know your thing! I don't know why I'm so fascinated right now to see your reaction but you're a really good coach. And you explain really well. Stay happy and have a good life.

She is so unique. I love her voice and her style, she is lovely and has a lot of charisma ♡

Thanks so much for reacting to this. Her voice is so unique and I needed to understand how she does it. You complete me Beth! 😉👍

Splendour in the Grass concert is my absolute fave performance of Dance Monkey!!

Know what's more amazing? no SEXY DRESS and VULGAR DANCER, its pure TALENT

This was live in her home town, people were pumped

Thank You for such an appreciative & knowledgeable reaction. I didn't know any of what you pointed out, showing how she was doing things. What a fantastic talent ! I am so amazed at how quickly she switches from one technique to something completely different. 1st listen on road trip. has to be a Japanese all Girls teen band, maybe late teen's lol.

Good morning from the states. Im surprised there are very few reactions to Talking Heads anywhere online. Youd love the live version of Life During Wartime. Enjoy your day.

Thanks for more Aussie content! Love the channel Beth :)

Watched a fair few vocal coach vids and I find it refreshing that you focused on her quality rather than her shortcomings like many others do.

She has no lacks. That's the magic. 🤷‍♀️ A Gauguin or a Picasso also has no shortcomings. Of course some people say "there's something wrong" 🤯 or "there's something missing" 🧐.... ... but believe me 😂, there's nothing wrong or missing in a Picasso. Yes, me too, I also saw some voice trainers, and they were awful. 🙄 One of them said "she's so crazy". But she isn't crazy. She's genius and he's just too stupid & numb to understand the flow, even too stupid to find the right words. Thank God! She never went to a teacher👍, she never believed what a coach would have told her. (5:12 5:15) She's not a designer, she's an artist. - Designer ALWAYS wants to be "perfect" and mainstream. 😴 - Artists arent designer, they are different kind of people. 6:26, 6:48 Beth nailed it. I guess Beth is one of the rare teachers, sensitive and talented.

Excellent reaction

Hi Beth, here in the US even before Adele you had a few color ladies, like you say who used to sing jazz,; this is one of the things I like about that song the jazzy sound. Also some remanances of African tribe music. All in all, really unique. Love it! 😍💓💕

Genial escuchar tu opinión, Beth. Saludos desde Barcelona! Esta canción fue un bombazo. Ya un clásico.

she is a really nice person and you can see she enjoys to perform and that's amazing. and can we take a moment on her breath control cause she is jumping around all the time.

Great reaction. Thanks so much

Beth , I mean this in the nicest way, you are so informative and entertaining and I've learned so much from your videos but I have to tell you in case you haven't heard it lately. You are so beautiful!!! Keep it up kiddo !!!

She has never ever had a music lesson/vocal lessons. All self taught. She also wrote this song after onlookers (assholes) at her street performance took her bowl of tip money and made fun of her and wouldn’t let her go home. Powerful

Yeah, she sings high larynx but it’s still so full. I haven’t heard very many do that without help. You break down how she sings very well. Great vid.

You should look up her cover of Alphaville's 'Forever Young' on Triple J (an Australian radio station). There's a clip of her singing it live on KZread.

She has such a unique voice, this is what music is about. I like her songs.

Beth if you ever get to come to Australia, make sure you do it over Easter when Splendour in the Grass is on.. You will have a ball.. 😁

Does anyone know this vocal style that she's singing in? The sort of pitch modulation/inflection upwards on certain vowel sounds in an exaggerated way?

The use of squeezed front space placement you are talking about matches with how Aussies speak...front, limited opening, flat tongue...all linked to the accent naturally. Very different to most other English speakers... Great analysis.

On the same note I’d prefer Rise by the Frames.

the crowd control is amazing especialy when the crowd starts jumping after she gets up from the floor

You might want to consider Lost Horizon - Highlander (the One) (or the PelleK cover which is a pretty much note perfect cover but you'd be able to see all of his technique) or Twilight Force - Power of the Ancient Force, or Fall of the Eternal Winter for your insta poll. Daniel Heiman and Christian Eriksson respectively are probably 2 of the most naturally talented male singers out there imho.

Beth you should react to Meg Myers “Jealous Sea”.

She's wicked alright.. I love her music..makes me move my hips..lol..she never had any voice lessons either has she??.. how could she do that and be a hit??.. oh yes..she is just what we need in this pandemic...She's natural..no makeup..big large clothing...I don't care for Adele...too dressed up..and she seems to be changing since she lost weight...I don't care for women using ..F..words or just talk nasty..so this girl just fits my style.... You are pretty cool too...love your joy of her...we understand each other....Roar!!!!

Since first time I heard this song, it reminds me of the police walking on the moon.... Maybe just me!

Eu gostei!

She reminds me of Hong Chau in the movie "Downsizing" 😆

Never heard about her... reminds me of Beth Ditto... ANOTHER BETH!

Hey Beth amazing as usual how about Liz Fraser/Cocteau Twins? But sometimes we can analyse too much. BTW I love this but being an alto I turn into Louie Armstrong trying to sing this lol!

See Rocio at teen age movie! She had al ways that strong soprano voice! It was just so easy for her! Then she came to Mexico the rest just history!

And she just came in at #4 in the Triple J Hottest 100 countdown.

Beth Roars!

Doesn't take anything away from her, but she is 26 (not 19). Such a cool unique sound.

You should consider reacting to el ada y el mago - rata blanca from Argentina. They have outstanding music and those were the first metal bands to conquer Latin America. I think there’s a video of the same song in English too. Beautiful lyrics though!

Imagine this chick singing jazz tunes… wowsie!!! Fun fact: I had nord stage 3 and just bought the go keys :)
