Vocal Coach Reacts to Hozier Singing in an NYC Subway

Vocal coach Tristan Paredes reacts to Hozier singing Take Me to Church in an NYC Subway. These are some of the best live vocals I've heard from a pop singer!

I keep getting comments that it's his accent creating the vowel changes or skipping over certain consonants. His accent probably does play a part in this (I honestly didn't think about it) but you can have an accent and sing with any vowel choices you want. A lot of American pop & theater singers sing like this as well if you listen for it!

My favorite comment on that video is, “Jesus singing against the church in a subway station”

[cole]

imagine how many people walked by like "damn this homeless guy sounds exactly like hozier"

[laundrybasket]

Hozier: sneezes
Tristan: his vowels see how he went acho not achoo

Alternate title: Vocal coach falling in love with Hozier for 10 minutes straight

[TheOneCalledDrew]

To be fair, a lot of those vowels he’s “intentionally skipping” is a product of his Irish accent

[laureniwinski]

he literally has my favorite voice out of anyone ever. i saw him live in november and he sounded EVEN BETTER live than in recordings

[Aaron-pxhr]

Autotune: I make everyone's voice sound better
Hozier: *I'm bout to end this man's whole career*

[tetra-xxx]

Honestly one of the most underrated artists in the world, one of if not THE best male voice atm

[marinastarshine]

Hozier IS, by far, one of the best talents in the music industry. And he loves standing up for human rights. Such an amazing human being. Truly a forest God.

[Flo-xfzn]

Do you guys realize he’s not really criticizing him, all he’s doing is explaining and breaking down how he sings.

[lisajessen]

As an Irish person the way he pronounces I'll is just how we say that haha

[wheresmypretzel]

Hozier’s vocals are incredible I’d faint if I saw him singing at a subway

This man is INCREDIBLE live. I’ve seen him twice and he absolutely blows me away how flawless he is

[hannahbarker]

I was lucky enough to get to see him live, and it was just raw talent and emotion radiating from him. He sounds better live than on recording I promise. He is SUCH an amazing artist, and that concert was one of the best nights of my life.

[cieloma]

Can I sing? Absolutely not

When he talks about the notes and keys of their voices do I understand? Absolutely not

So I still watch? Yes
