Reaction videos

[Mel O'Drama]

Anyone enjoy these?

I've found myself watching some reaction videos at bedtime a few times recently and find them oddly compelling. It's hugely satisfying to watch someone discovering artists and tracks that are special to me.

A few recent favourites of mine:

This guy is very endearing and does a great summary of his thoughts at the end.

I love, love, love the Honest Vocal Coach . She can watch a great performance and break down why it's great. She picks up on the smallest detail and brings it to life, which gives me more appreciation for the technical abilities of singers that I might take for granted.

My top pick at the moment has to be this video which had me laughing out loud again and again:

"Present your dress, bitch."
"Put it in their face."
"Unleash the beast."
"She gave it all. She left it on the stage."


If you've got any favourite reaction videos, reactors(?!) or channels, do share below.

I watch many reaction video's these couple weeks from Celine Dion, ABBA, and from the Carpenters on Youtube, and it's so great to see those people loving their music and how they sing them, most Celine Dion hater from 20 years ago are now starting to like her music, and see how good she really is, also ABBA and the Carpenters (mostly Karen
s voice) got some great reactions. My favorite reaction Youtubers are "Dereck reacts", "This is DNA", "Yazik reacts" and "JustTheVoice" and "India Reacts".

Gosh - this is eye-opening. It's hard for me to process that there are people who don't know who Madonna is:

"It just sounds really old."
"I don't get it... She's in a church and she's, like, dancing with a choir?"
"Why... is she always surrounded by men?"

My favorite reaction Youtubers are "Dereck reacts", "This is DNA", "Yazik reacts" and "JustTheVoice" and "India Reacts".

I've seen a few of India's, but will seek out the others for a look. Thanks for that.

So funny...

What year was this? 1975? And people were allowed to listen to this - this whole, basic S-E-X - on the radio? ...Oooh, my God. I am shaking.

I'm currently watching "foreigners reacting to Dutch #1 hits 1970-1995", it literally popped up a few minutes ago even though I'm not logged in. Youtube still knows where I live and that's fine, I don't mind being followed or spied upon as long as I get my good suggestions.
There are also "first time listening to German hits" videos and basically every country that's produced a hit or two.

I don't know where the people in the video live, they're black but they don't sound very American. Could be the Caribbean.
The thing I find interesting about their reactions is that they notice certain sounds exactly because they don't understand the language, or the music style that isn't relevant anymore (or has never been relevant outside the Netherlands).
Every time I brace myself for a roast reaction that would make me cringe (no matter how justified that reaction would be) they say things like "oh, lovely voice, and they didn't use autotune".
Some of the videos/performances are super weird or downright stupid but they don't comment on that. Maybe it's what they expect Europeans to do (should I feel insulted?)
