Tori is just so next level it's unbelievable.

musicality discussions aside I just love the joy and energy in this interaction

The ultimate musical confidence destroyer: Jacob and his friends

I feel like the singing is going to overshadow just how impressive transcribing these runs is. Props to the singers obviously, but major props to George too

[johnzhou]

I went to Tori's concert recently and she sang this. Tori is beyond amazing. It's great when someone with clear musical intention meets someone with the right skill.

[icerag]

George, you've done a great job capturing the microtones and slides. Autotune would completely destroy the nuances of this melody.

As much as I respect Tori Kelly and John Legend, I‘d hoped that Yebba would sing on this one so much 😭

[muller]

Just hearing two musicians expressing their unsatisfied desire.

Really recommend watching the full version on Jacobs channel. Tori's ability to pick up a riff immediately and then make it sound even better is honestly one of the most impressive things I've seen in my entire life!
Also Jacob is a mad musical genious, but everyone knows that at this point!

[jwream]

Jacob is crazy for making these insane runs, and Tori is insane for being able to sing them even better than Jacob can! Two musical powerhouses

[Ludix]

This is amazing! Massively impressive!

[Lunar]

Ngl, I was half expecting them to replicate autotune effects with just their voice.

[Yakushii]

My mating calls are far less impressive.

[Your-Local-Animator]

What happened to the doreen ketchens videos?

[funkymonke]

What does the X mean next to some of the notes

[HirrumiHassan]

I would recommend them to use autotune.

[superultramegarobot]

As usual with Jacob, extremely technically impressive and yet zero emotional resonance.

It's like he got a wish granted by a monkey's paw: worlds greatest musical intellect, but a complete lack of anything to express.

[matthewdeklerk]

Unbearable what he thinks is interesting or good music. People laugh at/spit on American idols for creating the idea that endless trilling and long high scales is "good singing" and then George Colier does the same and everyone licks the boot in perfect 7/8 tritonal unison. Embarassing what singing and "art" has become
