If you read the English translation of the lyrics, the squeaks are a well placed stylistic choice blending with the lyrics. The lyrics are about someone wanting to give up on a relationship. The squeaks are like a cry of anguish for someone in deep despair.
@RileyTomian_1983
They are real and good coaches because they gave their real opinion according on their own thoughts..Thank you always for reacting our Mori..
@Dongitzclem57
That vocal cry, the growl, the anger like, it is all connected with the song lyric. The song is about broken relation, about holding on to it or letting it go and give yourself a chance to love your self or take care of your self. So those were all on purpose.
@imdreamingofawhite
Gusto ko nang bumitaw translates to I just want to let go (or give up in the context of the song). Her little squeaks here mirror the song's emotional signature echoing the lyrics' angst, desperation, anger, helplessness, frustration and almost like a controlled scream of pain. Just my understanding of the song's message of wanting to give up on a relationship that has given so much pain and not wanting to but needing to.

Morissette did her "first take" recording of Power. Based on the video, it was done at her home (unsure though). She was with her husband Dave.
@brucek5578
She doesn’t use her whistle; grows, vocal breaks and squeaks every song. She uses them when she wants and needs them. I think it’s awesome she can makes those sounds and control them.
@angelodamato2407
I love how clear Melia talks. I was an ESL teacher way back when (not that anyone cares, lol) but I just love how she talks.
@wg1856
I love your honesty... don't be too concerned about giving your opinion on how singers are using their voices and how it can affect their singing and voices along the run. like i said before i like it when you are reacting to Morissette because she's not a boring singer and there is so much to discuss especially with her ability to sing. She is simply 1 of the best out there.
@RozethMayMAmado
The song itself is already very emotionally challenging. It talks about agony, anger, despair and just pure heartbreak. This song was actually used as an original soundtrack for a Filipino drama series in which the main theme is infidelity in a marriage and its grave effects to the children and family involved. I think Mori's approach (the wailing, growl and squeals) is only apt because if she did it in a completely different way it wouldn't have the same impact to her Filipino audience. I definitely respect your opinions from the technical standpoint, but hats off also to Mori because we Filipinos know how hard this song is and what it takes to convey a kind of pain she's never personally experienced.
@jaimeblue2335
This is what I'm waiting for. Your vocal reaction to our Queen Morissette 😍🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️ Thank you 😊
@chewpopstejano8023
Im a filipino and i appreciate more honest review than an all out positive remarks, everything has its pros and cons. I rarely subscribe but ive done it to these two.
@shiroyamada6284
We all have different opinions and preferences and I respect yours. And I really enjoy your reactions and analysis on Morissette. Please keep reacting😊
@viliamebuadromo3672
You guys are Epic. Kudos to Queen Mori. Thanks for the Pasifika taste of insights. Much love from the Fiji Islands
@christianmark143
You guys, I believe you made your point and I totally agree. As a fan of Morissette, there are times that her voice is not in good condition due to overuse since she's in demand and performing on different occasions. Your point about squeaks is not taken as a negative comment but rather something that would help Mori to take care of her voice since she's also aiming for her voice longevity. I'm sure Mori would understand if she watches this reaction. Don't worry. Mori is not using squeaks all the time. It's just that this specific song Gusto ko nang Bumitaw demands a lot of emotions and that's the way she sang this when this song was recorded. This is not her original song, but you know Mori, she always wanted to give her own flavor. Thank you for your reactions and I hope you continue to provide more tips about singing.
@pyrovian
The squeak might be a health concern, that's a valid point. That said, I just want to remind you guys the context of where and why she does it. She's not necessarily doing it just for a cool effect. It's part of storytelling and the emotional aspect of her singing. It's sort of a whiny effect and in this case it conveys hurt and frustration. And if you look up the song's lyrics, it makes sense. I'm sure you guys had that in mind but I feel like it's often not considered enough.
@cureouscat
Honestly not also a fan of squeaks. But here, understanding the story of the song, the emotions - breaking free, weakness, frustration, vindication. I think the intention (if not) behind the squeaks is to express weakness, like a little stumble from running away from that sad corner, holding back a little. But then a belt, a growl. She just flies away so freely after that. :) Just so euphoric, unbelievable feeling.
@JoeyAndamo
Hey C&M! I love that you're reacting to Morissette once again! I also study singing, so I genuinely love dissecting the various "schools" of singing as a way to gain more practical knowledge. You said that you are both "mixers" and have yet to explore the "core" of your voice. That was such an insightful comment from Meliá, and here's why: Morissette is coming from a different "school" of singing. She built her vocal resonance on years and years of chest voice ("core") development. She is a "mixer" too, but her chest voice ("core") is always very engaged throughout the entirety of her vocal range. I don't say this as a slight, but for educational purposes only: The majority of singers today have skipped the work of developing the chest voice. Today, the training is anchored heavily on "mixing" the voice and neglecting proper chest voice development. You brought up the consistency, the openness and vibrance of Morissette's vocal resonance. It's because her chest voice is very developed. Regarding the "vocal squeaks": This is a type of vocal distortion. If done incorrectly, you can really damage your vocal cords. But from my evaluation, Morissette has the proper technique to do it safely, just like a trained gymnast can safely do a complex tumbling routine. From years of watching her sing, I can say that she has the foundation to execute these types of vocal distortions, while minimising risk. First, her vocal tract sits very open, the tongue sits down and relaxed. Superior "open throat" technique. Then, she combines that with superior vocal compression. By compressing the air, the airflow is very controlled as it passes thru the vocal cords, minimizing the risk of damage. The beauty of Morissette's technique is that she can sound very resonant, with a lot of core to her voice, but she's achieving this power with very little airflow passing thru the vocal cords. It's very controlled. Regarding Adele, from my honest evaluation of her technique, the reason why she's had 2 surgeries to her throat is because her use of vocal compression is flawed, plus, she's choking her vocal tract with improper open throat technique. Lastly, yes, Morissette's style of singing is similar to an extreme sport. It's not for beginners. There is risk, but from my evaluation, she has the correct foundation to mitigate those risks. As for my preference? I love the vocal distortions (i.e. vocal squeaks and growls)! Thank you again for your honest and insightful reactions! More of Morissette please 🥰👏🫡🤝👊🙏
P.S. Morissette had to rest her voice in 2018 due to over-use. She had way too many gigs. Her style of singing (i.e. heavy belting) does need a lot more maintenance.
@allengje
Delighted to have another Mori reaction from you. Very interesting comments, as usual. Glad you haven't become gun shy on her, which I was starting to be a little worried about. Going to echo some others in requesting a reaction to Will You Stay. Thanks.
@christjohnalvero6914
Great reaction to Morissete Amon live band performance "Gusto ko nang bumitaw" I really love and like to appreciate this song is full of emotion. What a great performance between the original and the cover. Morissete Amon, she does it as a cover but she gave justice to it. And this is a really good example of a cover because she doesn't copy the original and she makes her own way and style to make it different from the original and she gave her best on it.Gusto ko nang bumitaw means (I want too let it go) watching you guys and support you here from the Philippines
