***DIDO TRIVIA TIME!!*** ....I give up, I'm throwin' in my FLAG......This tune hurts me personally, but, for a DIFFERENT reason....I'll explain later..... - ....this tune was the 1st single from Dido's 2nd Album, 2003's "Life For Rent"; her debut Album ("No Angel") took a VERY long time to take off, but a certain rapper helped her shoot into the STRATOSPHERE....Eminem sampled her tune "Thank You" for his MASSIVE hit "Stan", and Dido became WORLD known.... - She is the Sister to Rollo, the main member of the Trip-Hop Group, Faithless, who had many Dance hits, thru the 1990's; Rollo produced and assisted on Dido's 1st Album but Dido had more 'say', on "Life".... - ...and, it was a smash.... a MASSIVE, MASSIVE SMASH! ...12 Million sold, it's one of the Top selling CD's in the UK....EVER, and "White Flag" got Dido her ONLY Grammy, in Best Female Pop Vocal.... - ...NOW! ...why it hurts ME; Back in 1999, I was asked to promote Dido's 1st release (in the USA), "Here With Me"; the tune was tanking FAST, and they wanted to send Dido to the Clubs, since the tune stiffed on Pop Radio.....THEN, her label 'rush released' "Take My Hand" to the Clubs, and, left ME to 're-promote' "Here w/ Me"..... ....I KNEW the tune bombed, so....I GAVE UP the gig, telling them, "...I just don't think she'll make it, on Pop Radio...." ...jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezus..... "Roswell" (the TV Series) asks for the tune ONE WEEK after I gave up the promo gig, the tune BLOWS the hell up, then, Eminem came after!! ....then, when I got in contact with Hosh Gureli (of Dido's label), I asked to promote "White Flag".... ....I was told, "..aren't you the One who said Dido wouldn't 'make it on Pop Radio'!? ...maybe YOU should throw in YOUR White Flag..." ....OUCH....OUCHOUCHOUCH! ....ha-HAA!! ...I didn't get the gig. ..Oh, dear......
YIKES! I bet you wish you had GPS back in the day when you faced that Dido fork in the road. Dude you've GOT to write a book, all of your behind-the-scenes anecdotes would make one interesting read! P.S. Sorry RBS, but I've always LOVED this song and her compelling vocal effort.
Dido's voice gets better with time and it is the Jennifer 'Rachael' Aniston hair do that was the most popular and trendiest with most females around the globe
Love the sentiment of this song. Dido rode the wave and was prob the most successful of the acoustic/electronic fusion trend of the time with female artists. Think she inspired record companies to all find their Dido
She was a british person and a huge success with her two first albums (''No Angel'' and ''Life for Rent''). I remember when it's came out when i was young, i love this since it's came out. In last years, i buying her greatest hits, since i love ''Thank You'' and many songs of her like ''White Flag'' and ''Don't Leave Home''. ''White Flag'' was her most successful single to date worldwide. Depist ''Thank You'' was her highest charting single in US (n.3 in US), ''White Flag'' was the first single of the album ''Life for Rent'' and was her biggest hit single to date worldwide and contribues ''Life for Rent'' album to sold over 12 millions copies worldwide. Depist she not peaked the top 10 in US (peaked in n.18 in 2004) like ''Thank You'', ''White Flag'' made a huge longevity in the US charts (spent 41 weeks in the Billboard Hot 100) and received a lot of airplay in radios pop and MTV who contributes the huge success of the song and the album. ''White Flag'' was her last song to charting in US to date. She have only two singles charting in US (''Thank You'' in n.3 and ''White Flag'' in n.18), but theses two songs contributes her respectives albums to have two huge best selling of her career.
Classic definition of early 00s right there Dido great artist longest name I've ever seen though for somebody in real life Google her look at her real name oh my God She came on strong in the late 90s
Dido was a proper phenomenon back in the day. The melody’s were great but the lyrics really talk about how relationships and feelings often truly are. And her voice is quite haunting and made for depth of feeling. She had quite a few hits. The video was also great. When you put Angel from Buddy the vampire slayer in it how could it not be :D. You are in for a treat me thinks :)
Jewel who? She wishes... LOL 😂 Dido is an international artist, America knew about her thanks to Eminem, but she's international, that jewel though... "I don't know her"
I think too many of us had some version of a "Rachel" (from friends) haircut back in the 90s...a lot of us white chicks ended up looking kind of Jewel & a lot like each other 🤣
I've been a fan of Dido (pronounced "Dye-doh") since her debut (back in 1999). This is one of her most well-known songs but it's not my fave. Her song "Thank You" was sampled for Eminem's "Stan" and she's also featured in the music video as well. Please react to Dido - "Here with Me."
She writes, composes and produces her own music, amazing artist!!

Her full name still amazes me
Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong

interesting!
@@EmpressReacts Madonna would ride that wave in the early 00s as you’ll find out
Dido and her brother Rollo are also founding members of Faithless
Fab song! And LOVE David Boreanaz ('Angel' in Buffy)who plays her ex in the video!

...DON'T remind me, Will....read me comment, and, you'll see why "White Flag" was MY swan Song......
This is a BOP!!!! This woman can SANG!!!!Prince had a song in which he says The Queen Dido .
Really liked how you got into it at the end.
This is the best song when your eating tomato soup and grilled cheese In front of a fireplace, on a cold rainy day.
Dang! All the negative comments about Dido and Jewel. Spread Love. Not hate. Nothing wrong with either artist. Great song 😸
Quiet fire 🔥 hit. I had to throw in my White Flag because I didn't like this song at first BUT it grew on me.
😂
This song never gets old for me, Dido did a great job on it and so did you reacting to it!
thanks!
Love Dido, such a great voice!
Classic definition of early 00s right there Dido great artist longest name I've ever seen though for somebody in real life Google her look at her real name oh my God

The 00s just weren’t it for me.

Empress, Dido has a song called Thank You. If you get a chance, please listen to it, it's 10's across the board.

dang lol
Jewel had success in the US. Dido an English singer / songwriter with global appeal.
I think too many of us had some version of a "Rachel" (from friends) haircut back in the 90s...a lot of us white chicks ended up looking kind of Jewel & a lot like each other 🤣
😂dang
Hahaha, amazing comment. Well done.
Love this and love Dido but where did she go? Haven’t heard from her for a while
She's my favourite. But I was a lil gay white boy at the right time, so I don't expect anyone to understand.
I've been a fan of Dido (pronounced "Dye-doh") since her debut (back in 1999). This is one of her most well-known songs but it's not my fave. Her song "Thank You" was sampled for Eminem's "Stan" and she's also featured in the music video as well. Please react to Dido - "Here with Me."
thanks!
Lol that intro 😅
How many recognize this song incorporated into Eminem song Stan
Her name is pronounced Die-Dough
Thanks
Hmmm got any Fiona Apple
? Tori Amos? I think this type of music was a watered down form of better music before it.
yep i've reacted to both
Even though Dido is a little hottie🔥, it's better to just listen to her instead of watching her imo. 🤷🏻♀️
looked like you missed the ending.
Yeh I never clicked with Dido. Polished pop for sure, well produced. But a bit drab/plain for me.
Dido has never been polished or pop
To emo for my taste.
😴 I wasn’t into her or Jewel thankfully. Not the vibe I was hungry for back then. It was a weird time for music.
Agree never been a fan something about her tone is off putting
Jewel is much more talented than Dido and had much more success. I love Jewel.
NAH! This was boring when it came out. Not sure why people were excited by such dullness. She was one L away from….
She has always been a one hit wonder to me...Never a big fan of hers...Guess what, I would rather listen to Jewel than her.
