re: artistry - Tom Waits, really anything

Most pop band musicians are not virtuoso players of their instruments but it doesn't matter. To belittle the Beatles because they couldn't sight read and play a score is arrogant and rather stupid.

lovely - nice to go from total ignorance to starting to understand music and live performances how about arethra franklin and george michael or has that already been done - I am somewhat of a newbie 9n this channel

I love “home loving man”

Thing is - I saw Allie playing in Dublin a few months ago and was blown away - she has a fantastic voice and is really approachable...just no need to for any correction - it's just not needed. Michael Buble also gets auto tuned...really no need for it.

I’m at the 4 min mark, and not only does it not sound audibly to my ears as Celine’s, but it sounds like she is dead. No emotion.

Fil - you have a natural ability to explain things that can be complicated - in an easy to understand manner. You are so good at engaging your viewers. I really enjoyed this - Thank You.

I love how Fil starts smiling when Judy first sings, it’s so sweet 😅

Jones' frame of reference included jazz musicians of the highest calibre. As a trumpet player and arranger, he worked with Clifford Brown, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Ray Charles and many others. He certainly knew and heard Charlie Parker, probably jammed with him. That's a level of instrumental command in a different register from pop and rock bands. Comparisons between the two fields don't hold up, and it's unfair to hold one set of musicians to standards required of another. You wouldn't ask an operatic soprano to sing the blues, nor Koko Taylor to perform something from Madame Butterfly- yet both are equally valid expressions of musical artistry.

I love music but I know nothing about it. Just give me a catchy tune and I'm in. I bet people who are knowledgable about music are turned on by different stuff then me.

Great review. I love Diana’s understated vocal style

Should have looked at his live performances of Help. Think it is one if the best ever live performances, particularly the one with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra

Define musicians? if you can tap your foot to a beat - and keep in time - then it would not be unreasonable to say that you possess some musical ability. Writers and players alike require creative musical abilities. Genius is a word which describes exceptional abilities by any other standard. I believe the music created by The Beatles and how it was played and performed as a whole could be considered to be genius.

This was the year I went to the Brit awards as my fiancé always wanted to go. I was very impressed by her performance. It’s nice to watch this and see the detail behind her singing, thanks for the video!

I love this performance. I wouldn’t change a thing ❤

I love his goofy school boy grim watching Judy's performance tracking naturally.

Buddy Rich was a legend in his own lifetime.

Conclusion… The Eagles are miming / lip syncing. They are not performing live. If you went to see them from 2013 onwards, you were robed

This is a fabulous review!

Idiotic comment, I don’t care who he is. Sounds like something my Dad would have said back in the early 60’s. Sounds like a personal vendetta by Quincy Jones. Disappointed that you would say, “I get it!”. A musician is much more than their particular expertise on instruments. If Ringo was so bad, why didn’t they get rid of him like they did Pete Best? Although you mostly defend their artistry, giving Jones any grounds on that statement, is ludicrous. Beethoven was freaking deaf..was he a terrible musician? Joplin, and Joe Cocker had terrible voices, how do they stand? You need to chill out about the Beatles. George Harrison, “..Gently Weeps”, for your even partial support for this statement by..who was that guy?

Please do Air Supply, they’ve been miming for years

Besides of this we need to ask why some are "online" on youtube but not everyone? My text been sending back! Who is that even possible? Year after year, it is sick!

I'd love to hear you talk about tuning systems. Even temperament is conceptually simple but it spoils all the harmonies: I suspect that is why Judy's voice looks "out of tune" when compared with an even-temper scale.

Correction, say, oh.

She’s not changing the vowel, she’s singing’ way, oh’. You can really tell in the 2016 rendition.

I have a friend, a multi-instrumentalist, who has noted that the Beatles are overrated as musicians, with George being the best skilled of the four. He has also agreed with Stephen Wilson in saying that Mr Wilson is not a technical guitarist. And I agree with him about the Beatles, as instrumentalists, yet with the caveat that the Beatles are brilliant at composition. That said, having watched & seen Mr Jones' comments about Ringo Starr, my perception of Mr Jones' reaction & attitude towards Ringo is one of dismissal or worse. But then I am judging his comments sans a wider context, so is that my fault? P.S.: This is not dismissing Mr. Jones' capacities outside of his comments about Mr Starr....

Oh no. I have one of her courses. I strive really hard to hit all the notes perfectly. I practice all these warm ups as well. At least it makes me feel better, lol, that it really isn’t easy. I feel really chuffed with myself for being able to do it at a high level and find the length easy without snatching a breath.

Could you analyse Cracklin' Rosie by Neil Diamond

Wow, what an amazing vocalist, I never quite thought of him as that. And performer of course.

I'm late by years to this video but gotta say... Fil, I love you for doing this one. I just found your channel a month or two ago and stumbled upon this absolute GEM just today. Queen is my favorite band for 50 years, and of course loved them at LiveAid as well, but have never heard such an excellent breakdown of the details. I was at the Philly Live Aid show, volunteering backstage, so while I adored being part of the excitement, I missed so much of the live performances and did not get to see this as it happened. Your insight is wonderful on all your analysis videos, but this one is special to me. I love being clued into all these tiny details. I love watching this again (and again and again and yet again) 😂 but it's even better now. And watching you watch the video was just as joyful as seeing the performance itself. Love your knowledge, and your joy of music, and your smile. Thank you thank you thank you.

Love your work Fil. Been watching for years but just subscribed. Sorry, algorithm made me think I was already subscribed!!

Please please find Julie's "Old Lang Zyne". I've only heard muddied copies, yet she is so warm and free and I'd love to hear your reaction to her singing such an organic number.

Bon Jovi sucks. Wanted Dead Or Alive is their only “good” song.

Quincy was a great producer. He was a jazz musician. You were overly nice to Quincy. He helped produce other people's music. Sorry but it reminds me of progressive rock - fancy and difficult to play - but not what most of us want to hear. Session players are great at what they do. But I think some of the most technical of musicians are boring to listen to at times.

Who CARES what Mr. Jones thinks! How MANY hits has he had? I think The Beatles out hit him by a big margin!

Excellent explanation at around 3:30 with the guitar and it’s human element (fingers on the fretboard) compared to an open tuned note. Likewise…this is why local bands with good singers who solely use a mic, an amp, and maybe a little reverb are basically the frontlines of REAL human performances with the human element and inflection front and center with nothing else…without being tainted by commercialization and it’s need for “perfection.” SUPPORT LOCAL LIVE MUSIC!!!

They didn’t play on their records. Nor did they write the songs. With the exception of a few songs. Just ask the legendary Bernard Purdie. He played drums on 21 Beatles songs. Beatles fans have suspended their disbelief, in order to believe the Beatles narrative. They utilized session players on everything. Here’s one of hundreds of examples: Donovan played guitar on “Julia”. He also wrote “Yellow Submarine”. Not just the one line which “Paul” claims. Also, Rubber Soul has been proven to be mathematically impossible to have been recorded in the timeframe that the official narrative claims. Mike Williams on the Sage of Quay channel has thoroughly debunked the Beatles lie. But you, dear reader, have been duped, so you’ll likely automatically dismiss this information. Which is sad. Taking the blue pill is pathetic. Open your mind. The Apple is rotten. Ps: fil im a fan of yours, but all you’re doing here is repeating a bunch of lies. I thought better of you. Turns out, you’re as willfully blind as all Beatles fans. You should check into Mike Williams’ stellar research. I warn you though…once you see it, you can’t unsee it. It’s so obvious.

Your analysis reminds me of how he talked about singing from a palette, the same as he would as if painting. Just selecting this tone, with this mix, for this part of the canvas, spread it around a bit, pat it on here or there, whatever, as the moment (in singing) suited. And he has a rich repertoire of "voices", a wide palette, to pick from. There are other performances of this song that are more "properly" sung, such as from his Isolar days, that I've been stunned by, but no more or less skillful and artful as here, as your analysis makes clear for me

Maybe Quincy would have been more impressed when the Beatles did their first album. I think they knocked it out in 15 hours .

awful audio ????

Magnifico vídeo. Muchas gracias. Bowie era un maestro en todo, en la composición y cantando. Una voz reconocible que ya de por sí es un plus y una forma de cantar auténtica y genial, personalidad y transmisión constante de emociones. Tu análisis es perfecto y ver tus caras de como disfrutas cuando Bowie mejor todavía. Saludos . Gracias again

Gestures of speech singing perhaps…..

People will be listening to and. talking about The Beatles for centuries to come. Even today, not many talk about "Q"!! Lol

Should have stopped singing after 1983 (at the latest) imo of course.

You sort of paraphrased Rick Nelson from "Garden Party" who sang, "You can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself." 😊 I really enjoyed this one...thanks for another great analysis! ❤

Great but I can tell the difference in certain parts for sure.

When you poke around enough with what makes a butterfly tick, what you're left with is not a butterfly. That said, I understand what you're trying to tell vocal artists. Most of them won't get away with the degree of freedom and instinct Bowie put on display. I don't want to romanticise Bowie; my feelings about his art are personal. I didn't care much for "Heroes" when I first heard it, maybe it scared me, but it's a monumental composition that led to iconic performances. I now get butterflies when I hear it.

I wish, for the sake of comparison, that you autotuned Judy Garland for us to hear. I'm curious what it would do to this performance.

Check out Sally Olson and Ned Mills you won't be disappointed!

Well, honestly, some much hipper music but that has some of this kind of harmonic flavor was done by Les Paul and Mary Ford
