Thank You Xene!

Tori Kelly | Masked Singer - Reaction

Comments

Michael - I'm gonna take you on a weird journey that involves lots of numbers. I heard Tori Kelly at an Andrea Bocelli concert in 2016. She was quite represented on the setlist - including a duet with him of The Prayer, singing partly in Italian. I was blown away, but I didn't catch her name. https://youtu.be/l_VcRKlNnAg I was reminded of her in 2018 because I had just become ARMY and found Jungkook's cover of her Paper Hearts. The recorded version and bits of live became one of my favorite JK covers. https://youtu.be/E0sbYxRVLIQ The Masked Singer aka King of Mask Singer is a Korean show originally, and the concept was exported. (Fun fact: Ryan Reynolds was once a guest performer on the Korean show while doing promo.) Jungkook was a contestant in 2016 when he was 19 (for his 20th Korean birthday). His swan song was a beautiful version of Big Bang's If You that is maddeningly difficult to find in one piece. He was eliminated early on in favor of a more traditional singer who tapped into the audience's emotions and got people dancing. Everyone was shocked that a young idol was so good. Three years later in 2019, the winner of that season, Jung Dong Ha, would sing a rock version of BTS's DNA on the show Immortal Song. I was so happy when BTS met Tori. It was at the 2019 BBMA's, where they won Top Social Artist for the 3rd time, as well as Top Duo/Group (on the stage where they had their first US TV debut in 2017 performing DNA). RM pointed to JK and told her he covered her song and she said she knew, and JK did the cute thing he does when he's overwhelmed and put his hands on his temples. https://youtu.be/nYAj5N5ic7k?t=97 When The Masked Singer debuted in the US, BTS did a promo spot for it, and gave this advice to future contestants based on their experience: the shoots are long and costumes hot and hard to take off, so go to the bathroom first and wear cold packs. Adorable. https://youtu.be/L79s5PXZ1_I Maybe you'd like to watch this stuff on your own time. I can't afford to request it. hehe

Tori Kelly is amazing! You should definitely react to more of her if you can! :)

I actually really love this show, its a lot of fun to try to guess along with the judges as to who each person is. I would recommend watching Monster, Peacock, Lion, Fox, Rottweiler, Flamingo, Thingamajig, Butterfly, Turtle, Sun, Crocodile, and Jellyfish. There are so many great performers on this show, but these have some of my favorite performances.

Emily Niedziela

She was beaten by the crocodile. While she is technically the better singer, crocodile was the better contestant for this show. You may check him/her out. Sun won this season which is totally deserved and can saang like the seahorse. Also worth watching are monster, lion, thingamajig, Rottweiler, flamingo, fox, jellyfish and turtle

Fran Castrence

I love the masked singer.. I highly suggest thingamajig from season 2 for the shock value 😂

Fran Castrence

Please check out Tori's cover of Crazy by Seal

Jules

Tori Kelly is amazing, very underrated in my opinion, u should check our her album u would probably like some of her songs.

YC

Just noticed, your Titanic DVD was up front and she sang My Heart Will Go On lol

Xene

YESSSS CONVERTING YOUTUBE TO MP3 FILES!! Add PYT and Best thing I never had to that list! So glad she still does covers to this day.

Xene

I literally would make her youtube videos into mp3 files so I could put them on my ipod or phone lol to this day I still have her covers of Only Girl, Thinking About You and Suit & Tie on my Apple Library converted from her videos because they are just tooo good and special, such an angel

Walmarys Rivera

Uhg Flamingo and Sun YESSSS. Plus this season’s Black Swan!!! Another one of my all time faves!

Xene

He’ll go insane with Tori’s runs and belts and even her low notes!! Honestly, listening to her albums isn’t enough. Her covers are absolutely amazing as well!! And she has some r&b undertone that Michael wont miss for sure. I am so passionate for this woman and I’m so happy he’s checking her music out!!

Xene

Also, Masked Singer, so many awesome performers there, I recommend Flamingo & The Sun! Those are two of my faves aside from Tori as Seahorse

Walmarys Rivera

Michael, Michael, Michael!!!! When I say that you would absolutely fall in love with Tori Kelly, its not a joke...... the woman has some of the best vocals of this generation hands down, up there with Ari & Demi etc, that caliber. BUT ALSO HER PENNNNNNNNN!!! She writes some of the most beautiful songs ugh, she feels like a female Ed Sheeran because she too is “attached at the hip” to her guitar & they have a song together on her first album which is just *chefs kiss* It wont disappoint. She has a gospel album, which I havent heard because I wasnt interested in the moment, but the rest of her albums & songs are singer/songwriter pop & just absolutely beautiful. You won’t regret it. My absolute favorite is her album “Inspired by True Events” fuuuuck. Thats all. Shes so underrated, it’s ridiculous .

Walmarys Rivera

Hey!! Thank you so much for this!! Glad you liked Tori Kelly and enjoyed the vids. This was the best way I could introduce Tori to you and the channel, so my plan worked lol. Now you can’t not check her out. But thank you for adding her to your growing list of album reactions!! Btw, she got booted off the show probably because of song choice and definitely the pairing/grouping of competitors. She chose that’s what i like for her semi-finals and her competitor, the crocodile, went all Dont Wanna Miss A Thing. She couldve easily done something like Halo or Listen by Beyonce as she CASUALLY does on her IG live. Everyone’s pretty angry that she didnt go through the finals, so dont worry, we’re with you. But, you’ll see and understand all this as you get to her season if you’re going to watch the series. Thanks again! Appreciate it.

Xene

Please do Jessie j!!! The most underated artist every. Voice is insane. From the uk x

Rosie Saunders

it's a great show, you should try it :-)

alannah

You should check out the sun. She was the winner of the season with Tori. https://youtu.be/tzx4HPoo31M

EMILY ALBRECHT

You're totally welcome!!!

Kristina

Awesome thanks Kristina!

Michael Beveraggi

Love Tori!!

heather

Just checked and it doesn't give anything away. Has from season 1 now in the middle of season 5.

Kristina

I will look right now

Kristina

I think I’m definitely going to! Do you know if the Hulu thumbnails spoil anything?

Michael Beveraggi

I will!!

Michael Beveraggi

I don't know if you have HULU or not but the series is on there. just don't use closed caption because sometimes that goes before the voice and I don't like that and yes it is still going and getting better all the time.

Kristina

Would love if you started reacting to the series. You could start back at episode 1 season one to understand the show. Some things have changed along the way and some athletes can actually sing amazingly well....

Kristina

I hope to see you react to more of the masked singer ones! You should react to monster from season 1! (He won!)

Whitni Barnett

omg you would LOVE Tori Kelly! Her released songs are easy to find, so I'll suggest one of my favorite covers: https://youtu.be/7_3hKVxOcRI
