Clean. Clean, baby! Last one! Take it back! Okay, so this is the exercise that I wrote for you! -
Let's go! Does it have the "yeah yeah" in it? You gotta slay because this is your exercise! I know! This is a difficult exercise, baby, but you got it! This is very difficult! And you made it mine! – I know! Which, I gotta kill it now! Why is it so difficult? Because my diaphragm! Diaphragm: Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Yeah, it's crazy! Because there are a lot of register changes! I love it, because now it's going to teach
me how to do it the right way. Yep. Nice! When I get this… Yep? I'm telling you… You're gonna jam it! It's gonna be a vibe! I know, I know, right? Keep going! Okay Nathan! You're working me out. Yeah Back hurting and shoulders. You're bouncing too much on the top.
You're singing from up here. All of that diaphragm, everything we've got, is from the bottom. Nothing up here. And go! More volume! And dance it out! Because I'm the king of singer challenges, so… Yes! You know you've got to have me right! Last one, good job! Good job, Nathan! Give me some, baby! Let's go! Some Michael Jackson real quick! Yeah. Okay. You’ve got to do some more volume. You gotta try it. More volume? Ok. Try it. Again. Okay, I’m going to stop you right there.
Boy, you know you can sing! Oh boy! As soon as you started singing,
for some reason, you got real serious. When we were talking, you were taking it easy.
But then you got too serious! Have fun! Personality, baby, you got it! Come on! Be careful! Be careful! You can hear too much the contrast of the
registers, you know what I mean? “Petto”: that’s the chest register,
that’s the full register. The “misto”: that’s that mixed register
of yours that we need to reinforce. You’ve got a nice falsetto and that “petto,”
but each time you try to go to that mix, it sounds like a missing piece. But we can develop that. Let’s do it! Now make it into a mix. Again. So what if I did it in chest? Would it damage my voice? Do it in chest, for sure! - Can I do it in chest? Heck yeah! Okay, cool! Boy, yes! Ha ha! Thank you, thank you! Come on, baby! Nice!
Kill it! The first verse, you’re like, “Okay, this man really sounds like Michael Jackson!
He really do!” Then, on the second one, leave a little bit
of your own little spice in there that the original didn’t do.
Try a little something? Do a little something something! That’s weak, baby!
I’m thinking so much about it! Have a you ever tried to improvise on this a little bit? No, I never did. I always did it, like, straight. Do it. It takes it up a whole different level. Because with MJ’s songs, it’s like it
makes you nervous, because you don’t want to –– you know what I’m saying? ––
offend somebody like, “Nah, that’s not how MJ did it.” I know, I know. “He said… He didn’t say…” You know what I’m saying?
You got to do it the right –– You know what I’m saying? Yep.
“Hee-hee!” Change something for me!
Change!
Yeah!
No!
Yes!
Yes, give me some! Oh God! Oh my God!
Thank you!
