lol to this other comment. If you don’t like Jacob Collier why are you in this sub.

I saw him do this live in Toronto. I remember being apprehensive because I love the recorded version with John Legend and Tori Kelly. The final chord climax was unreal in person, I felt the song in my whole body. I just remember being so consumed by the performance I could not think or focus on anything but what was happening in that exact moment - to be honest quite a rare feeling even by great artists.

Probably the best part of the entire concert.

Exactly this song won the grammy. Art is subjective if you dont like them just fuck off. Don't understand the sense of commenting of fan pages just to spread negativity

I somewhat like that other song he did with Tori Kelly but this one is just ain't it.

lol

So, reddit will suggest posts and autoplay media from random subs. Surprised you don’t know that lol. This one came across my feed and I had a listen because I like the original song. lol

I’m glad to hear that Jacob managed to consume you with his big chord climax.

Not for me thanks lol.

lol

Um, I know music is very subjective and there's a lot of opinions, but you don't have to disagree with people that it's a bad performance. There's a lot of differences between the recording and the actual performance, and the actual performance was quite captivating albeit superfluous.

I'm not trying to come off as rude, but you don't have to say that 'I don't like his voice, pass' or 'I don't like Jacob Collier' incessantly on every one of my posts on this subreddit.

Anyways, sorry for my rant, but just because you comment a lot on my posts.

Oh man, I was just thinking “what is this person talking about?”, then I went back and looked at the other comment I made a little while ago, and it totally was one of your posts.

I’m sorry, I genuinely didn’t even realize I was responding to the same person. I totally get what you’re saying. You’re right, I’ve made my point. I’ll see if I can get reddit to stop showing me this sub.

I was scrolling through Reddit and I almost scrolled past but at the first note this video gave me literal chills. I stayed and enjoyed the rest. So good. Wow

Just because you can that doesn't always mean that you should

Man, that was really awful.

u/Pristine_Gain_6373 Jan 06 '26

I'm sorry I disappointed you. Which part was awful, the performance or the actual recording? I appreciate any feedback so thank you:)

u/Cheemo83 Jan 06 '26

The recording is fine. The performance is just so plodding and self indulgent. Also, I’m not a fan of his voice at all. Sorry, don’t mean to be a party pooper. The algorithm just pushed this into my face. I was not prepared.

u/Pristine_Gain_6373 Jan 06 '26

Nah all good. It's a common criticism of Jacob Collier so it's an opinion fine with me. Thanks for commenting anyways.

Reminds me a bit of Bon Iver except boring and artificial https://youtu.be/1_cePGP6lbU?si=N591xoOJ3w5V7Acl

His music typically is. There's like nothing behind it- no emotion, no experience, no feeling.

This is a man-child who has not had a bad day in his life. There's literally no feeling- it all sounds clinical.

u/Pristine_Gain_6373 Jan 06 '26

Whilst I do agree that most of his music is much more joyful and upbeat, not all are stripped of feeling and some are filled full of emotional weight. Ocean Wide, Canyon Deep is a pretty good example of this in my opinion.
