I feel like the warmth and tenderness of his personality (or persona) are reflected tonally in his singing, which likely stems from how our subconscious intentions greatly affect everything we do.

This is interesting. Another idea to consider is how the definition of a warm sounding voice is kind of arbitrary and unrelated to the literal meaning of warmth. Do we subconsciously associate a voice with these characteristics with warmth, or have we simply mutually agreed on the term warmth as a means of characterising a voice. It could be a combination of both. The former answer more strongly reinforces your idea as it links what we instinctually feel to our voice, whereas the latter is based on intellectual ideas preconceived by those around us.

@@jhakardballoch2986 Yes! Very interesting, indeed. I think "warmth," as it relates to tone, is likely one part short list of agreed-upon qualities and one part emotional registration. I acknowledge my original supposition could be greatly flawed in this example; however, I do believe the energy of our intentions--those oft' unvoiced drives and purpose with which we approach every action--greatly affect outcomes.

Ny Oh, the guitarist, has some amazing solo stuff. Same goes for the drummer (Pillow Person) and the keyboardist (Charlotte Clark). They're all so ridiculously talented

What you said about Harry and not caring too much about what other people think was so lovely, beautiful & true! That's really one of the things that makes Harry so special and it's a quality I admire so much about him. I think it's also one of the reasons why he's so charismatic & interesting to so many people. Anyways, great video as always, Sam! You have a lovely day, too! :)

I have 0 interest in singing other than my own amazing karaoke attempts, which to be fair are more like a Stars In Their Eyes show, whereby fuelled with alcohol I actually DO become the star and produce an amazing sound...so I've no idea how Sam Johnson came up on my recommended list years ago I clicked because of his lovely smile, and much later on I'm still here due to his amazing smile! I LOVE the way this young man is so damn positive about everyone. There's no bitchy look-at-me-on-YT, it's really all singing teacher giving assistance and going on the positive view of how people can improve and enjoy their own music/voice If I decided to have a go at being Maria Callas I'd sure go to someone like Sam Johnson for lessons Sam, keep smiling you little sweetheart x

Her name is Ny Oh. She already has some solo work out. She has an insta where she posts her stuff.

I love that he can either show up dressed like a full-on pirate or Mr. Rogers and both are like, yep, that’s Harry Styles.

So true about harmonies. I used to be absolute dog shit at creating/following any harmonies. I'd always be flat or super unsure where I should take it. Then I really took the time to do what you said. I learned every part of songs I already loved to sing and each time I sang through, I picked a different harmony. It slowly became easier and easier to notice background harmonies in general (that I straight up ignored hearing before) and then it became easier to predict how a harmony would sound before hearing it at all. Now I find myself singing the harmony automatically and that feels really good considering where I started. Singing truly requires practice. I think people often forget that.

React to Harry Syles “Juice” by Lizzo! That beautiful guitarist KILLS IT in that!

I love that intentional break that backing vocalist has. I’ve been trying to find that in myself but I’ve been taught and trained to smooth over that so it’s hard to finf it and strengthen it. Or maybe I just don’t have the voice for it. But good video though, I love this song and it’s even better live.

Just try to make a distinct difference between the vocal qualitiey in volume and vowels... For a fuller voice quality use more metallic vowels like e, ae, oh... For the flipped thinner quality u, o and i. It also really helps to increase the volume a little before letting the flip happen. Practice yodeling slowly... 😊. That might help a little. Former classically studied singer here and now mainly working in the pop/rock field (so I know the issues).

I don't know anything about music and I can't sing. But I still like your videos.

Love that advice at the end about being your authentic self. Needed to hear that

You had my like on the Space Jam T-Shirt

yes, more harry styles !!!! super excited for this one, sam :)

Love this! I love how you explain how to do things right, it’s super clear and easy to understand for people who aren’t trained in singing :)

Thank you, Sam. Wow! The way you described learning harmony was how I did it as a little girl, singing with my sister. I love the guitar girl's voice, too. Great tune, reminds me of the '70s.

i’ve never actively listened to a lot of the songs you showcase on your channel. i consider myself really open minded to music and listen across genres but you introduce me (us) to so many artists i would never think of. And you do it so positively! i just couldn’t love your channel more 🥰

im a big fan of harry (and his band), always appreciate your videos on him and his vocals! loved what you said about their harmonies here. but also especially your commentary towards the end re authenticity and harry's evolution as an artist - very beautifully put!

This whole episode just radiated positive energy. Love it

Totally loved what you said at the end... Harry is focused on longevity!

I love how you just dig it and vibe with it throughout! I love Harry and his music too ❤

Thanks for your reaction. Great to get your opinion on what Harry is doing while he’s singing. Love to see you react to more live Harry performances.

Luv the harmonies! Luv your commentary as well, Sam!♥️Like how you say "warmth" too!😉

Amazing performance! His band is so tight, I have absolutely got to see them live! I'm also obsessed with the funky bass line that stands out in this performance.

A super pro voice teacher +my favorite singer. Sam thanks a lot for this i love Harry and i love how you analyze this videos this is perfect match. More Harry!

I learn so much from your videos, thank you for being such a gem.

You just make my day everytime you do a harry video!!❤❤

The way you explained how to sing harmonies is how I’ve been doing it for a few years and I feel so validated :)

Wow it had been so long since I saw your channel, but I remember subscribing before you had 100k and now you're son BIG that's so cool!

Yaaasss, more tiny desk concerts!

I’m so proud of Harry and his evolution:) Having watched other solo artists, one after another, sadly crash and burn after leaving their groups, I’m irresponsibly happy for him 🥰 he’s so proud and unapologetic for his craft and who he IS as a human. A quality human being, that one. Not unlike our own Mr Johnson. Thanks for what ya do Sam!

Sammy, I feel so validated because I learn singing harmonies exactly how you said it. Listening and trying to sing to every voice in a song (including guitar riffs, sometimes 😂) and from there, I would kinda have an idea what other notes are complimentary to the melody or vice versa

I love this. The back up singer and Harry are having a sing-off. 💞 Thank you Sam!

I would be interested to see you evaluate T-Pain's Tiny Desk performance! People tend to forget that he is a legitimately talented singer underneath the auto tune and the Tiny Desk concert put it on full display.

I love that u like harry and accept him as he is! He is so talented and he has a bright future ahead of him. He has the making of a legend coz he's serious with his craft and he really seriously wanted to learn and perfect his musicality. His voice has improved a lot and he's exploring and learning to use instruments to improve on his music not to please people but because he really loves it! 💕💕💕

Great review, Sam! You too, have a great day!

I have been obsessed with this song this summer 😍 🎶

YES! Thank you Sam for reacting to this amazing performance! (One of my favorite tiny desk concerts!) Have you reacted to Maggie Rogers yet? Her voice is lovely and her music is beautifully funky.

I love your videos! Now, I don't understand a lot about vocal performance, but I would love to see you react to and analyse one of John Farnham's live performances of 'Your the Voice'. He is a legend of Aussie music and has been singing that song since the 80s - and still hitting the high notes and power at 67 at the 2016 ARIAs when he was inducted into the hall of fame.

Not a huge Harry Styles fan (not that I dislike him either) but I enjoyed this song. I agree with Sam that the mix of the band is AMAZING on this one. The dynamics of how he came is soft and then became more of the prominent voice towards the end of the song made it feel like they were just jamming and having a good time.

"I can get frustrated by Frodo for nine hours" what a mood 😂
