Here I am again. A person who doesn't sing at all but will scream and screech in the shower. Thank you Miss Tara and Miss Nikki

My vocal coach always tells me to change things in the song like this! But you have to understand that as beginner singers, NONE OF US would ever think to do that. We always want to sing it like the original since we love it.
I understand the need for it however, there needs to be more tutorials like this 👍

I wanna hear Nikki sing the entire song. Love her voice, so soothing to my ears!

5:42-6:27 is why we all keep coming back to this channel (beyond just the great interactions and amazingly insightful tips that make everyone learn something, no matter if they have singing as an actual goal)

6:06 i am SUCH a fan of those "step down" style riffs

[alyssav]

i’ve sorta grown up listening to ad libing bc my dad leads worship at my church sometimes and every time he ad libs. i’ve actually done it before and i think it comes natural to me bc i’ve been around it my whole life. i think it’s harder to do it in public though bc you’re scared that it might sound bad or people won’t like it

[eddiemaxwell]

Your vibrato is so quick and specific, I love it.

[chevaunneshine]

I love this! I've been singing since Whitney Houston's second album and NOBODY ever explained that you may not hit the note the first time...but it doesn't make you a bad singer. I always thought the others were natural born talents. I'm just learning that everybody is still learning and getting better.

[HumanProgramming]

Brilliant teaching! Most people don’t realise how difficult it can be to teach such nuanced topics. You make it quite clear, Welldone!

[sis-stak]

Wow, such nice voices on both of you ladies!

[YeshuaAnkh]

I love them simple adlibs. I thinks it brings the repetition that pushes people to remember songs. As you said, super hooky !

[jessica.lynne]

Your ad libs were 🔥! You both have such lovely voices

[abbyfincher]

Tara: runs and riffs all over the place
Tara: "right?"

[veravegas]

I sometimes do my own runs or Ad libs when I'm covering a song! I've learned to imulate (?) the singers, and by doing so, I'm learning to open my throats and chest to try to sing the songs perfectly hitting those notes! Some notes I (squeak/whistle/falsetto) because I haven't learned to open up to those certain notes yet! I love to sing at karaoke but I get so nervous around crowds! I can sing well when I look at the screen of words and ignore the crowd! My most go to songs are rock songs that stay in the opera registry that I can sing with an open throats and chest!

[Kieamusic]

I literally look for videos like this all the time and the fact that this one is 4 years old makes me so upset. Ad libs have held me back so much as a singer, thank youuu 🥹👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

[european_lion_]

Whaouh! I was really impressed with your ad lips, Tara! You did so many fast runs in different registers... 👏. And of course coach Nikki, too 😉

[Novaevaculture]

Here I am, a producer that's making ad libs for a hiphop song, I thought ad libs were just a rap thing, great info

[zefanhasergio]

the way you explained what Ad Libs are, is just amazing and so easy for me to understand and get the idea of it. great work! 🖤

[sonicxisever]

Ok I didn’t even watch the whole video yet but I’m so glad you chose that song! I actually sang that on karaoke with my sister yesterday. I’m working on my voice (key, pitch, vibrato) I’m not a professional singer or anything but I really want to be more confident and find my singing voice

[theapearman]

Dear Tara and Nikki ... have this on rewatch over and over it is the best video to learn from on this topic on the web in my opinion. Your Riffs and rubs video is fantastic, sets the stage for this great video. Shout out to you both.. I’ve tried many videos and yours hands down was the easiest to get. Having fun with it now, more on the topic!!
