Voice Teachers React to Ariana Grande "My Hair" (Official Live Performance)

Her whistles sounded like that because she was phrasing. So incredibly hard to do and she nailed it.

I've heard her whistling clearly before. Adding A LOT of air in her whistle just fits the aesthetic of the vibe imo.

Look at her face during the whistle part😭 she's SO RELAXED, and airy vocals are just her thing.

wtf how can you dislike such beautiful whistles i'm-

There are so many things wrong with this reaction 💀

It’s funny to see now ppl “criticize” Ariana. She’s a vocal coach herself now.

This is confusing... "Professionals" who don't understand why other professionals do things... Did Whitney "Need" to step her hand through the air to visualize and complete her runs? Does Dimash "need" to wince and tighten his grip on the mic before hitting a high note that's obviously child's-play for him? Why does a metal guitarist STAND differently than a classical guitarist while playing the same notes on the same instrument? Maybe... Just maybe, Ariana uses facial expression and (OMG) physical movement in her face and jaw to visually emphasize the performance and give the viewer something interesting to look at. This is is a PERFORMANCE... Sitting there stone-faced like a third-chair cello player in a chamber-music orchestra, just because you have the talent to do so is about the silliest thing one could ever do and would be a career killer in Pop music. As for the "whistle"... I think the intentional over-breath was meant to move the (overused) technique from the usual POP genre to more "Jazzy", woodwind sound. I don't know if I liked it, but I definitely understood the choice and appreciated it over what would have sounded like a dolphin singing jazz if she had done it... "Properly".🙄 This is actually the first Ariana Grande song I've ever heard. The genre (pop) isn't my thing and I let my preconceived bias keep me from exploring her work... I have to admit, that I'm a little surprised at her talent... Hate to admit it, but I'm gonna have to check a few more Ariana songs.

What? That was literally her best performance

The only way to make phrased whistles understandable is make it breathy.

Her jaw movement is something she really likes doing, just because she can. 🤣 Her low notes are new, she is trying new things out. The breathiness is just what she love doing. The whistling is so breathy because of the words. 😉 And that was a CLEAR perfect E6 you sang 👌🏼.

It's funny - I always understand Arianna's words. I don't know why people say they can't. Wow.

It’s funny how I’m Latin who’s second language it’s English and I can perfectly understand her lyrics in her songs. 😂🤣🤣

i really dont think that that was unhealthy. one of my strongest points is my whistle tone and im totally comfortable doing it however i've never done it with so much air like ari did. she sounds exactly like Mariah in her whistle in function of the amount of air she is using. in her performance of Save Your Tears featuring The Weekend, she does it the same way but without the words and it sounds amazing. so i really dont think that was unhealthy in any way. and btw she looks so comfortable doing it. idk im not a professional but whatever.

“as good as it used to” this is her first time on a track whistling an entire cores 😂 . it’s light and airy to the aesthetic of the track … bc she def did the save ur tears and NAILED the whistle note. whistling while singing words is difficult

it’s not possible to pronounce words THAT HIGH without sounding breathy! even tho i would prefer less air, the whistles sound really easy for her :)

HUH? those whistle tones were amazing and sounded healthy

Other vocal coaches said it was amazing and breathy bc Ariana did it that way but regardless she sounded amazing 🙌🏽

Y’all opinions are soo… off… lol y’all are the last vocals coaches I would ever wanna learn from 😂

“no technical need” but y’all can’t even hit the notes right 😭

I discovered my whistle when I was 11 yeras old, and since then I have never stopped doing it. Now I'm 22 and besides singing melodies I can also speak whole sentences in whistle, quite easily because I'm a tenor and I have a medium/high voice. And using my whistle all these years has never hurt my voice, because it feels natural to me, just as it's natural to Ariana.
