Songs have evolved throughout the years.
From ballads to rock, and everything in between. But some songs have aged so well that even the new generations are still playing and singing them.
One such song happens to be one of Whitney Houston’s most famous hits and it’s notoriously complex to sing, at any age.
Nevertheless, this coach helps an 11-year-old girl knock it out of the park.
Meet Cheryl Porter.
The vibrant YouTube Star also just so happens to be an opera singer.
Capitalizing on those incredible skills, Cheryl offers voice lessons for anyone who wants to learn, just like little Isabella Meneses.
She’s practicing Whitney’s “I Have Nothing”.
It’s one of the greatest and most challenging songs to sing ever, trained or not.
Cheryl and Isabella started with a vocal warmup and stabilizing her vibrato. Then Cheryl asks what Isabella would want to try.
Without hesitation, she answered the song with a smile on her face.
Cheryl guides Isabella through the song.
Section by section, She provided points and corrected them then and there.
“What is the most important note of any song?” She asked Isabella.
She replied that it’s the first note. It should have that emotional capacity so the momentum will continue throughout the song.
With that, Cheryl and Isabella worked on the meaning of the song and connect them with emotions.
Next up is all about the phrasing and holding the tones. As the song goes, more coaching points were given. Isabella manages to correct herself right away.
She has some serious talent.
As they go, they work on applying vibrato at the right moments of the song and making them stretch until just the right moment, leaving room for a powerful finish.
They also talked riffs and runs, precision, and delays on the varying tones.
Coach Cheryl’s “Magic Gloves” help her.
As they made their way to the middle of the song, Cheryl had Isabella wear the magical gloves that aesthetically work.
They also help Isabella channel all that nervous energy so she can focus on mastering every note of the song.
Isabella was able to work on her vocal agility and embellishments along the way, showing her prowess and progress in singing.
Though the song is already powerful enough, her young voice still manages to push through and take it further.
Thanks to the help of Coach Cheryl.
Then more phrasing and closure precisions were corrected.
Such a great voice from a very young Isabella.
She worked on controlling her voice as well to anticipate high notes and crash them at the right moment.
And she sounds just like Whitney.
And now the grand finale.
Cheryl guided Isabella until the final lines of the songs, making more adjustments until she was able to hit all the notes with precision.
Isabella has shown grace and her delivery of the song was powerful.
The video has over 8 million views already and each and every view is more than deserved.
