@Hybby Z, he actually is pretty textbook narcissistic. After I stopped watching the video since I found his vibe EXTREMELY creepy/sociopathic, I hunted down several interviews and yeah - I was unfortunately right about having a personality disorder based on the subtitles of the interviews. He said/did several things during the interviews that were straight out of the DSM's criteria for this disorder. One of the interviews I watched was with his wife and 4-year-old-daughter, too and yikes - I felt sorry for them. :-/

The song is about getting up and trying and smiling through hard times but its also a russian irony song, in conclusion thats why he distorts and sings with an offpitch to add emotional connection (: Love Vitas

Considering his arrest record I'd have to say you are correct.

He is a consummate artist. He can do just about any genre. His charismatic presence is simply his personality and artistry coming through. Years of training and truly loving his craft. I love seeing the reflection of the joy his performance and facials brings to your eyes 🤩. You can not bottle that gift he brings to his craft. I appreciate your breakdown of his skills and what he’s doing! Exactly what you said,, he’s so comfortable with what he’s doing, he vis never stressed. Now he’s teaching Alla his daughter to carry on! Love it.

He also puts the mic out to let people see it's live and not lipsync

What I like Vitas is the way he shakes the heart of audience from the start to the end. This expression and performance is so catchy that I don't feel bored or distracted throughout his song. His singing style is unique.

He did the mic movements because people claimed that he was lip syncing during his performances. He would sing too “perfectly”, but in reality he just is so good at controlling his voice and maintaining the quality of his sound.

@ChadTvFun

6 ай бұрын

In reality he uses a technique called voice activation so hes not in fact singing anything live and cant do those notes easily, those high notes are studio notes that can do with x amount of takes but not live, there are many videos showing his real live voice and its honestly a lot worse.

I love his facial expressions and body movements during his old live shows, everytime I see that smile he does Immediately imagine him thinking to himself 'Yeah, I'm the shit'. Like he knows he's the best and flaunts it haha

What you see is a very good teacher doing what he always does, but on youtube. His analyses are probably exactly how he'll work with his students so unlike a lot of other youtubers, there's no need for scripts or retakes. The technical editing of the video iteself probably takes the longest. Half of teaching is public speaking and being able to lecture fluently about your subject of expertise at the drop of a hat for any length of time. Honestly, these videos do a really good job of promoting his services. If I were interested in voice lessons, I'd hire Sam in a heartbeat. He has such a light hand with criticism, and it's always so constructive! He never forgets to mention the strengths on top of the weaknesses and he appears to have the patience of a saint.

I really enjoy him, but I also enjoy how much you get a kick out of different performers. A big part of the fun in your videos is the joy you get out of watching at the same time.

Thank you for this I don't want to be the rubber necker at a train wreck, but I would be interested in what a physical failure looks like. Example is what Adele's voice/vocal cords did/sounded like before she had her lapse. (forgive me Adele)

Once again, your video is clear, lovely, and entertained. Thank you so much (twice). :)

I have become so addicted to your channel! Love how positive you are!

Hey Sam! I recently discovered your channel, and I've loved what I've seen so far. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Vitas and Dimash videos just now, because they are (relatively) unheard of in vocal communities that I'm around, and have been a massive inspiration to me in my own singing. Yes, Vitas' charisma which almost comes off as hubris just makes one love his performances! As your wholesome comments section says so often, your concise, natural explanations of what's happening are very welcome, and I have much to learn. As someone who was never trained myself, but has been singing for a long time, I'm always keen to pick up insight from those who had proper learning. Anyways! Appreciate your channel, love your videos, new fan! :)

Vitals barely performs in Russia. He's famous for scandals lately more than his singing. So, not a Russian pop singer at all. Which is sad, tbh.

Watching your videos is the best experience i have had on youtube in a long time! You seem like such a genuine guy and you are very informative! keep the videos comming

I discovered Vitas YEARS ago, I've always been blown away by his voice. The one song that he does the siren music video is awesome!

Leave it to Sam to keep it classy while having a laugh lol love these videos

You're the only vocal teacher that I enjoy watching and your channel deserves much more and you deserve much more .

Just found your channel through recommended, I can’t stop clicking through all your videos! I just want to keep watching!! It’s entertaining AND informative, and they’re all uplifting.

I love that you appreciate everything and anything each singer brings to the table.

Yes!!!! I was hoping you would do Vitas at some point!!! Seriously wish you were my voice teacher. Maybe some day

Vitas ahhhh! He is a storyteller first and foremost. His songs are endeared to the Russian people as most are old folk songs. His own writings are so unique and the word you use is quirky! Vitas is a showman quirky interesting and multicultural.. in twenty years he has become to do many, beyond just a talented 👨‍🎤 singer but an icon. To some he is royalty . I understand ehy🥰😇

Sam, the range of singers you react to is why I love your videos !!!

Thanks for this! I just commented on another video asking for a Vitas reaction, and there it was! Of course you already made one.

Very cool, I'd never heard of Vitas until this video! His onstage personality makes me smile too :) I'd love for some jazz singing to show up here. I filled out the reaction request form, so I know I'm being one of THOSE people, but it'd be cool if you took a look at Melanie Charles singing "I'm So Glad". I was so lucky to see one of her shows, and she and her bandmates explained their musical and lyrical choices between songs, so you know they put a lot of thought into their work. They're very cool people, basically :D

I managed to get my husband and kids loving vitas. We’re always blasting his tunes on the echo. He’s incredible

I LOVE Vitas so so much!!! I just found your channel and I liked it a lot! I I wish I had a teacher like you... I want to be able to sing well...

Just came across your videos, I love how you're not straight away mean and give constructive criticism AND actually know what you're talking about, it all makes sense. Keep making videos! xo

This is exactly one of the things i mentioned i love from you. Diversity. Tool and Devin Townsend and now we go to Vitas, and it's perfectly ok. I would love to hear your analysis about "Powerwolf". I think "We drink your blood" fully shows how astonishing their singer is. Hope you can do it some day. I send you a hug, Sam, keep up the good work!

Каждая песня Витаса это чудесная актерская работа. Его лицо, мимика, улыбка и взгляд это театр!

I know absolutely nothing about singing and all that is included in that, but how you explain it makes it so easy to understand what is going on in all the clips you react to. I'm addicted to watching your videos, seriously its a problem lol...I love your energy and even when someone isnt at the top of their game or something doesnt go as planned, you have no problem explaining what went wrong or why something didnt sound good while also refraining from belittling them or laughing like I've seen so many in the music community do, you seem like a very genuine person and its so refreshing to see. Keep up the great work cause Lord knows I'll be here watching!

You're very professional and actually make sense. I love your videos!

He is a talented singer and you clearly acknowledge that but I do love how even you couldn't help but fight the laughter at his eccentricity lol good stuff

For someone to have something that they can talk about for hours on end just because they love the topic that much is just the best thing to me, and I love seeing you talk about music on this channel. Keep doing you, dude, and i'd love to see you react to Eurovision, since that's a passion of mine and I love seeing other people's takes on the music shown in the competition.

I love his Opera 2. And your reaction to him was hilarious and great. I have recently become addicted to watching your reactions.

Oh my God. Vitas!!! My Russian voice coach's other students were all eastern European friends of mine and we used to get in so much trouble breaking out into Vitas songs during our sitzprobes. He was just so funny to us.

Nobody: Literally nobody: Vitas:😏

I’m so happy to see you react to Vitas, ulybnis is one of my favorite songs of his and the smile is so sarcastic I love it

Hi, Sam! I adore your professional reactions! We haven't watched any Dimash reactions for a while. Could I ask you to react to Singful Passion song by Dimash. He showed the range which you didn't see in his previous songs (from really low to incredibly high) and also one of the tecnique which I never seen with any of one pop musicians. I know you reaction to his SOS was very popular and discussed a lot! DKIFC

IKR when I discovered Vitas, I was smitten. His talent and his smile! That smile!!!

I had no idea i was even remotely interested in singing/vocal techniques until i stumbled upon your marvelous channel and content, so thanks for that! To add a suggestion, i would mention Gåte, from my home country, as they bring some interesting styles/techniques from old folk songs. "Gåte - Rideboll & Gullborg (Live in Oslo at Rockefeller Music Hall)" is pretty good. Keep doing what you're doing!

You should react to dimash's new song "sinful passion" because it honestly made me rethink my existence. I thought dimash couldn't keep one upping himself, and he just did😭😭

His smile is too contagious!!!! And his vocals are no joke waaaaahhhhh

Love your videos, Sam!
