- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2023
- We'll see how this one goes! I am a Lady Gaga fan, and find her music and voice angelically beautiful. And I've seen the first Top Gun with Kirk, but not Maverick. . . and yet I was still drawn to this song and how wildly popular it became after the movie was released last year. So I guess we'll first listen to Lady Gaga, then I'll have to check out this sequel. I have the need. . . the need for speed!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Lady Gaga performing "Hold My Hand" for the first time.

She recently performed this song at the Oscars and she really outdid herself. Mad respect for her choices to go makeup free, hair in braids, ripped up jeans, vulnerability and no over the top glitz and glam. Just her and her powerful voice.
Agreed! I don't love the song, actually, but I was blown away by her performance. She's just SO talented! I think covering that version would be an interesting comparison for the channel.
She should have won the Oscar.That winning song was a joke.
@@kd2eat
I agree! Would love to see the reaction to that!
The Oscars version is a vocal tour de force.
I didn't watch the Oscars but thanks for mentioning this. I'll have to see if i can find a video of the performance.
Yeah I'm a Metallica, slipknot, disturbed, iron maiden kinda fan but Lady Gaga is just insane. Her vocals in A Star Is Born, and in this... Just breathtaking. Quite apt for this sequel.
Check out Sebastian Lindqvist's cover version of this song
Have you heard lady Gaga and metallica together? Moth into flames, 🤘it really rocks
Look up "Lady Gaga Rock Version" on RUclips. There are some really cool mixes of various songs out there.
@@marcokla8817 dude! Great recommendation. You just led me to that performance and it did not disappoint!
Was just gonna write the same thing. I’m GNR’s, Metallica, etc but she is really F****** good at pulling at your heartstrings boy. I don’t think a song has made me tear up in 30 years. But this 1 I had a tear & like 2 on A Star Is Born. Rare for me. I do have to say, even tho my love is hard rock, there are 2 ladies I really love. Gaga & Pink!!! Pink is a badass. Insane voice as well. These girls don’t lip sync. At all. What your hear on the radio is what you hear live. Not many…..in fact, most don’t sound as good or better live. Sorry Axl. Great song, message etc.
Gaga is just a force of nature. She is one of the most gifted artists of our time. The icing in the cake is that all that talent is supported by an extraordinary human being. She's amazing.
Где найти этот клип, не могу найти его
From the first time I heard this song, I thought it was the BEST way you could create a modern "80s feel" ballad. It just feels so retro and a worthy successor to what was the quintessential 80s movie ballad in "Take My Breath Away". I never get tired of hearing this song and it's as impactful to my emotions as the movie itself.
Absolutely true
Spot on!
The original Top Gun film had such an impact on my career as both an airline and military pilot. The second movie is so well done, and is perfectly complimented by this song. It is impossible to not get emotional watching/listening to this incredibly produced music video. Well done, and thank you Elizabeth for analyzing this.
Top Gun was maybe the biggest propaganda film ever. I hear lots of stories like yours. The film certainly did its job of increasing enlistment numbers.
One of my favorite movies of all time. Insipred me a lot on its production value and realism.
Same here..
As someone who worked on Maverick for 2 years of my life, hopefully you'll get to see Maverick and hope that you like it! We all had a lot of fun working on it! I can't help but get nostalgic hearing this song. It's quite a surreal experience seeing 2 years of your life condensed down to 2 hours on screen. This song brings me back to all those fun times that we had putting this film together.
Also fun fact - the Lady Gaga music video was directed by Joe Kosinski, who was also the director for Top Gun: Maverick
What did you do on the film, if I may ask?
That's really smart using the same director for both so as not to lose any context or nuance in the film when translating the messages into the song.
The outcome of the movie was brilliant, congratulations on a great film 👏
Great work, Matt! Hoping you see accolades for the fantastic VFX work on this piece. Much deserved.
Don't care what you did on set.
Thank you.
As much as I loved the first movie, the brilliant work on this one did not get past me!!&! Much more realness and the effort that went into the making of this one shows through 110%... BRAVO!!&!
Her oscars performance of "Til it happens to you" a few years ago was heartbreaking and absolutely brilliant.
She got robbed for that master piece
Lady Gaga has the most amazing vocals. I’m a hard rocker but love several of her songs.
Her talent is limitless. She sang with Tony Bennett and Metallica btw.
The nice thing about Lady Gaga is she is so versatile, she has something for everyone!
I really liked Lady Gaga with Metallica performing Moth to a Flame....
Same. I think she has the talent to be an incredible rock singer
@@andrewwood6728 she gives her all to everything she does! You could tell Metallica really enjoyed working with her.
"Always Remember Us This Way" by Lady Gaga is one of her many great songs. It starts with a line about "That Arizona Sky". Thanks for telling the world about the struggle, and how things get better.
I second this! It’s one of my favorites by her. So beautiful ❤
Love this song
Years ago my brother liked Lady Gaga, metal head here, couldn't stand her music. Fast forward to my teenage daughter listening to her. I LOVE HER VOICE!! She is at the point in her career where she can do what she wants, not the companies that record and put her music out there. I wish I could tell my brother he was right. He's gone now, so I can't but damn he had an ear for talent and gave it a chance even if it wasn't his style. I am like that now thanks to you Elizabeth. You have given me an ongoing gift!!💜💜
"Tracy Carbone" R.I.P to your brother. Another Metalhead here, she rocks. Although I have not started wearing alternative clothing and I plan to, Gaga was my gateway into Alt fashion along with Evanescence, My Chemical Romance, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot and Ghost.
For me most of the influence aside from her is mostly Nu Metal and Industrial Metal (Mall Goth subculture)
I'm impressed she wrote and composed that. The complexity of the verse, pre-chorus and chorus is incredible. Respect to Lady.
The fact that she fought to have the fly over be real when she's on the piano shows just how much love she has for this song. The even had to tie her dress to the piano
The Edge of Glory that she did with just piano on the Howard Stern Show is what got me to fall in love with her voice.
All of her Howard Stern performances are amazing ❤
How many shivers has Lady Gaga given to us over the years?? She's the real deal! such an inspiration to all of us musos!
I think that the song shallow line may be one of lady Gaga,s best song!!!!!
I find myself tearing up in several of your videos. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner in the Air Force and every time you advocate for mental health I find it very moving. Thank you.
I'm a big fan of the movie, I've always been impressed by Lady Gagas talent. In the song "Hold my Hand" absolutely BLEW ME AWAY! She my new favorite!
Lady Gaga is the most multi dimensional star. She sings, dances , amazing pianist, and s great actress. Quadruple threat.
I was never a lady GaGa fan until i heard her and Tony Bennet sing together, and it opened my eyes to what a wonderful voice she has
I'm not really a pop fan but Lady Gaga is SOO good at EVERYTHING, including acting, I can't help but like her. She sang a tribute to Sound of Music at the Grammies.with Julie Andrews there, that was classically amazing and her Jazz album with Tony Bennet was perfection.
I always say never trust anybody who doesn't like dogs, cats or Lady Gaga!
Edit; She sang with METALLICA at the Grammys too and killed it AGAIN! That's the one I'd like to see on this channel, please.
So true and if my dog doesn't like you neither do l ! Or my cats Siamese are very intelligent.
She has a lot of passion for what she does and you can always see that through her songs/performances and acting aswell.
I love cats, i love dogs and i really love lady gaga and have had the pleasure of seeing her live recently❤❤❤
@@clareloxley8685 👍
I had no idea she sang with metallica (i dont like awards show.) i looked up the rheresal vidoe on LGs chsnnel. HOLY SHIT. when she opened her mouth ilegit gasped and yelled. She meshed and matched vocald so WELL with him! That woman can do ANYTHING. I dont know if it stresses her vocal chords, but she could roll with a rock band all she wants.
I still remember watching her old “bar” and tiny stage venues performancws when her first album was released, but before she exploded internationally. She was always INCREDIBLY talented, yet she still manages to improve! Im so glad she runs the direction of her songs and albums more now. Im not a huge fan of hers, but theres usually one song per album or collaboration that gives megoosesbumps and shivers or hits me hard in the feels.
I agree. Shes so beautifully versatile and plays well in all genres ive heard. If someone doesnt like a single one of her songs, i greatly question their choices.
She is one of the greatest vocalists of our age. She ranks with Whitney and Adele
I agree. But sometimes not. There is room. Have you ever listed to any female opera soprano’s. Anna Netrebko. Might surprise you.
Mariah *
Lady gaga is the real deal, honestly i dislike contemporary pop music, but i like lady gaga a lot!
Same here. She's the REAL DEAL. I'm a metalhead - yet I've paid serious $ to see a couple of her shows. VERY much worth it. I'd love to see her lean into metal for an album, or at least a couple tracks. She sure as hell has the chops!
@@jeffk1482 Hooly dooly... now that's a cracking idea.
@@grievesy83 If she did that, it would cement my status as a "Little Monster" (in addition to metal junkie).
@@jeffk1482 oh, believe me, she'll do it eventually, sooner or later, cause she just has the metalhead blood running in her veins and i know she can crossover it and make something truly remarkable, she already gave us a taste of it with a few Born This Way songs and performances, this is a quote from her "what i did is that i married pop music and performance art in a way that my metalhead friends in the lower east side wanted to come see me live"
@@inma5665 I truly hope she does!!!! The first time I heard her flex her rock chops was on Howard Stern's show - she did the intro to Black Dog by Zep. I couldn't speak - my jaw hit the floor too hard - but my brain was absolutely screaming "HOLY HELL!!!!"
As a young widower, I can definitely say that it is possible to love again and be happy again. (I remarried 5 years after my wife passed.) What is hard for me is that even after going through it myself, I still don’t know what to say someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one without sounding like a cliche, or trite. The hardest part, and it was for me as well, is that survivors want answers and there really aren’t any good ones. Just being with them is huge, even if you don’t know what to say. I think it’s especially hard for men because we’re wired to fix things, and some things you just can’t fix. Anyway, thanks for showing human side of music and why it’s so therapeutic for people.
I was never a gaga fan in the past but her vocals are undeniably godlike. Her talent is immense and i am really enjoying her recent vocal songs like this one.
I'm SO HAPPY you're covering Gaga. You should check out her Sound of Music medley at the Oscar's, Bad Romance at the Rainbow Room, and Bang Bang live at Lincoln Center! She's the singular reason I love to sing and I pretty much learned how to sing by listening to her over the years. She's so important to so many people💜
Little fun fact. Because Tom Cruise is, well, Tom Cruise. He personally requested Lady Gaga to not only comprise the main theme song of the movie (no different than “take my breath away,” & “danger zone” of the first movie) but also he requested her to compose movie in its entirety. The piano sequences, or tracks from other artist, were all played by Gaga herself or handpicked. Music is what makes a blockbuster movie immortal. Therefore, he shows his support by flying his own plane (also used in the movie) over Gaga in the big scene with her in the dress over runway at the Bridge of the song. When you see the movie, please update us all on the feels
Got any proof that it was him flying in the video?
@@theshadowfax239 it’s pretty well documented and shown online. Just type it in google. Was well advertised when the video was released.
Charismatic Voice, your pause game is strong in this reaction.
Somehow, when you chose to pause, you landed on some very iconic scenes in the movie itself. Kudos to you. Great reaction as always.
Been a fan of Gaga since her early Bad Romance era.. I recognized her raw talent and respected how she put together so many hits in a row. While not a full "Monster" ... I did add several songs to my playlists over the years. My thoughts on her talent were confirmed by Elton John, choosing to perform live with her on back-to-back grand pianos. She has always had my respect, and she can get me to tear up with her emotional songwriting and powerful vocals.
Now you have touched on Lady Gaga, it's time to move into P!nk's catalog. ;)
Fun fact: She’s actually the godmother to Elton John’s kids. ☺️ They also have a duet song on her last full Album Chromatica called “Sine From Above”.
I love the Gaga and Elton art pop duo on the grand pianos!
It's a briliant track.
From the moment I heard it, I was sure this would win an award.
And a fun fact outside the music scope: The old P-51 Mustang fighter plane in the movie, is owned and flown by Tom Cruise himself. Rumor has it that he is actually the one doing the low, fast flyover in the video.
He did. He's a helluva good private pilot.
It would be on brand. Which is also the reason he does it.
Plus, the plane looks a dang lot like Tom's P-51 Mustang. As seen in the 2nd film (and internet)
So I think he DID do that, incredibly low, very cool fly-by in Lady Gaga's clip.
Fun Facts: Yes, Tom did all the flying in the movie concerning the P51K scenes as it is his personal plane. Couldn’t speak for the MV but it seems likely because there isn’t a ton of airworthy P51’s out there.
His plane is not a fighter. It was built as a reconnaissance/photo plane using the same basic airframe.
A fighter is a P51D Mustang. Tom’s plane is a P51K Mustang (technically P51K/F-6K).
Tom purchased the plane either shortly after or during its restoration and conversion into a replica P51D.
The planes’s serial number can be traced back to its manufacture date and its government service with the Civil Air Patrol and subsequent sale into civilian aviation.
If interested, there are pictures on the internet of this plane with a couple different paint schemes prior to the one seen in the movie.
@@jeffk1482everyone in the comment sections online said that but I haven't seen any proof that it's him, so I don't believe it until I have more proof than a bunch of random people online saying it's true.
Its vocal capacities are amazing. It is especially noticed when performing Sound of Music Medley at the Oscars ceremony in 2015. I thought it was some opera singer until the camera zoomed. And then I saw Lady Gaga. I was honestly thrilled.
I also love her on the “A Star Is Born” soundtrack. The songs “Always remember us This Way” and “I’ll Never Love Again” are so good. And she kills it on this soundtrack as well!
"Before I Cry" is another great one on there
Her cover of La Vie en Rose gave me goosebumps.
@@gillianv64 Yes!
Though I’m not a fan of Lady Gaga’s primary genre (pop), she has such a great voice that definitely lends itself to rock ballads like this song. When I first heard this I was so impressed.
The video - ❤
The scenes from the movie interwoven with LG performing the song in the hangar, and then the piano on the runway with Tom Cruise himself doing that fly-by in his P-51 Mustang… chef’s kisses.
Some of those scenes are kind of spoilers if you haven’t seen the movie… I remember this video came out before movie release, I saw a certain clip and thought “oh this gonna be rough”. All I will say is, Top Gun: Maverick = best cinema experience EVER… I saw it 6 times in cinema, I’ve watched it few more times since, it’s hands down one of the best movies of a generation.
Lady Gaga was involved in the composition of the soundtrack alongside Hans Zimmer (and if you know Zimmer, you know it’s epic!)… there’s a couple of tracks where the “Hold My Hand” melody is incorporated. Given she has done this and the soundtrack to A Star Is Born, the fact she has said she wants to do more film scores and soundtracks is definitely exciting when she can produce this calibre of music.
The film is absolutely brilliant and this song, as simple as it may sound on first listen, captures the essence of the entire film. Still get goosebumps by this song.
Lady Gaga did a stripped down live piano version of Million Reasons on Howard Stern that was incredible. Worth reacting to if you haven't seen it. So raw and emotional.
I recommend checking out Lady Gaga’s Sound of Music Oscar performance or her Till It Happens To You Oscar performance. Her Sinatra homage and her Super Bowl performance are great too.
Her “Sound of Music” performance was absolutely stunning and even had Julie Andrews congratulating her. I was not expecting that,absolutely gorgeous.
Fantastic as always!!! The song "Perfect Illusion" live is amazing,it's her and the piano only and it's breathtaking!
I don’t care how many times you pause the video. There is nobody like you. You are so unique with this very believable innocence vibe you give off. Every time I watch one of your videos it reminds me of going to Disney World with my little boy. Just so clean, fun and G rated!
Oh Elizabeth, after watching your reactions and videos with Julia Niles and Tea Time..... I cannot imagine you ever being so down. Although I can relate (my teenage to early 20s was really tough). I'm so glad you are happy now as we all get to bask in your joyful responses to music.
Thank you for not giving up! The world needs you (as well as your family).
Wow, thank you!
Lady Gaga has been one of my favorites since she showed up. I have yet to see Top Gun: Maverick, but I loved this video and song. It always make me tear up... and lately it's been hard to cry. But Gaga's writing always knows how to make it happen.
She's incredible. Her live performance of Speechless at the Vevo launch party is still one of my favorites. It's killer.
One of my very favorites!
Been a GaGa fan since Just Dance. She really is the definition of artist because she lives, breathes & is art. Everything she does has love, intention & inspiration behind it. I really recommend reacting to her performance of Million Reasons from the Victoria Secret Fashion show. You can tell there’s a lot of classical influence there much like this song but with full bodied vocals full of space & resonance. She’s glorious & hands down one of the best artists to grace the music scene.
Very beautifully simple song.....that does exactly what a song suppose to do.....give an emotional response to your soul. She has an incredible voice and I'm very happy that she's doing songs like this and Shallow from, A Star Is Born.
Fun fact: the music for the song is actually one of themes for the movie and plays throughout. Please let us know what you think of watching Top Gun Maverick since you haven’t seen it yet!
it´s a sin that she hasn´t, right?!
It plays about 15 times if I remember correctly. You see the US flag about 12 times!!
Gaga is one of the few American artists I really enjoy listening to. She’s VERY talented not only as a singer but as a writer.
Never been a fan of Gaga's over the top actions(meat suit & etc...), but she is insanely talented with a truly phenomenal voice. This movie and song left me in tears in the theater and even my teenage kids were truly floored by everything they witnessed. I was able to tell them that this is what going to the movies use to feel like. A++++
Just a little tidbit: The meatsuit was actually a statement against the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”. Earlier on the red carpet of that same event, she wore an Alexander McQueen outfit (a brilliant Gay designer from the UK who tragically took his own life in 2010, Gaga wore the outfit as a tribute to him). But, on the red carpet with her were several queer male and female soldiers and she spent her time during the red carpet interviews talking about the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. A lot of people remember the meat dress but so many forget that, even so early in her career, she was already an outspoken activist and that dress was part of a political statement. Basically, we’re all the same (meat) on the inside, the U.S government can treat it’s soldiers like meat. Also, she was commenting on how women and women in the music industry are treated like pieces of meat. It had meaning and she explained and has explained that meaning many times. From the very beginning, Gaga has always used all sorts of art as expression. It was always calculated beyond “shock value” but because she was a pop star, it took a long time for people who weren’t her main fans to understand and to take her seriously. Wow, sorry for the novel. I just thought you might find this interesting or it might change your impression of her earlier years. ☺️
@@meghangerhart643 well said
@@dariosanon Thank you! 😊
Wow, I NEEDED this. No clue it was out there! 4th anniv of my late USMC hubby's passing and I have really been struggling. This somehow helped a lot. Thanks, Elizabeth. And yes, IT DOES GET BETTER, but there is still grief. Of course there is! It just means you loved deeply and well. Entirely worth it.
‘Is that alright’ from the Star is Born soundtrack is really special: her voice over a simple piano. Worth a deep dive although you may get something stuck in your eye…
The last 30-40 minutes of Top Gun Maverick are such an emotional rollercoaster that by the end you're a mess.... then they hit you with this, I was glued to my seat throughout the entirety of the song. An incredible song used perfectly to cap off one of the greatest movies of the modern age.
Her live performance of the National Anthem is amazing. All her (obviously). But I would love to see your reaction & breakdown of it. Listening once to it all the way through without stopping & then a second time providing your amazing analysis & feelings you get! I’d love this!!!!! I’ve only seen one reactor ever do it. It’s not too recent.
Lady Gaga never ceases to amaze me vocally, but the cover of this song done by AleXa will also blow your mind as well
Having played guitar for 65 years, I have to admit I am really a fan of the human voice. Singers like Sam Cooke, Vince Gill, Gladys Knight, Whitney Houston, Ann Wilson....to name a few. I walked into the house to renew 2 fingers of bourbon and small cigar in time to see Lady Gaga start the tune at the Oscars. I did not recognize her in shredded jeans. I asked my sweetie "who is that?" Lady Gaga is easily in the group of the forementioned names and more. How did this song not win?
First time here. You are so sweet and smart. You perfectly understood the message that Gaga wanted to convey with this song and you are also a great teacher because I learned things that I had never realized. I'll be here often for sure.
Have you ever seen her performance of Speechless at the VEVO Live Launch Event? It’s amazing and one of my faves! So much emotion and style, AND she’s playing piano. Great performance!
One of my favorite songs by her too!
The cool part is that it also works as a perfect companion piece to the Berlin power ballad from the first film.
Please react to Gaga singing Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Live from Lincoln Center. It really showcases her singing abilities.
21:35 The way she slipped her shades on and then it cut to Maverick's smile is probably one of my favorite parts. I can't stop grinning at them both similarly putting on those iconic shades and then it concludes the entire video. It was beautiful.
'I always will remember us this way' the combo of lyrics and her singing makes it my favourite Gaga song. "The part of me that's you will never die"
She is a talented lady. Great pianist in addition to the singing and writing.
Hi Elizabeth, I was struck by her emphasis of moral support on her staccato lines in between legato stanzas. I hope you will do Tony Bennett and LG's take on "I Get a Kick Out of You". Tony Bennett's concert was the best I ever saw. His presentation is masterful.
The reason I absolutely love watching your videos is because you can appreciate every little (and big) thing about the videos you watch and songs you hear.
I started watching more and more of your videos because I felt like I finally found someone who can appreciate things as much as I do (actually a lot more) and by watching your content I'm learning how to appreciate music more and more.
I'm really thankful to you!
Lady Gaga has such an incredible, powerful voice. It is hard to not be emotionally moved by such a well written & executed song.
I've had some absolutely soul-crushing lows, falling hard at the end of last year/start of this year. I've cried more than I have in decades. Luckily, a friend has been there for me and we're closer now than I ever thought possible.
I'm getting there. One day at a time.
Not a Lady Gaga song, but she did a Sound of Music tribute for Julie Andrews at the Oscars a few years back that was absolutely BREATHTAKING!
I'm so happy with this video! I'm a big fan of Gaga and one of my favorite songs of hers is Yoü And I, especially the version "Yoü And I (Live from A Very Gaga Thanksgiving)", only her on the piano. The video is also very well done, so fun!
I hadn't actually watched the video for this song before this. The video editor has done a lot better job of matching story bits to the lyrics than I'd have expected for what is essentially a giant advertisment for the movie. Example: cutting to Hondo for the line "just hold my hand" was such a perfect summary of his character.
I really fell in love with Lady Gaga after I saw her on stage singing singing with Metallica , on one of the Grammy award shows ,
lol, when I get tired of listening to my usual AIC or Slipknot or whatever I listen to Lady Gaga.
when I get tired of listening to my usual Lady Gaga I listen to AIC or Slipknot or whatever
I am wishing strongly that she will receive Oscar for this masterpiece!!
I love the way you react to and talk about the the videos you watch. It’s sincere and with a lot of passion.
You are so humble and true, yet professional! You are amazing 🤩 🙏🏻
This song gives me goose bumps and makes me cry every time! Thanks for this!
I was going to say it but you beat me too it😆 Lady Gaga is one of the most versatile & talented artists we've probably ever seen!!! She can act, she has so much charisma & she can sing with pretty much anyone. Collabs with Metallica, Tony Bennett, Elton John prove her range and when she's not doing pop she can do country as well! I've seen her twice & both times I was BLOWN AWAY!!! She's barely over 5 ft but she performs at 3 times that size! So glad you're covering her! One of my favorite performances is her Art Pop collab with Elton John...I've seen it produced 50 times & I love it more and more each time! Definitely worth covering 😎
I would love to hear your reaction to the sequel, its an emotional roller coaster especially if you liked and grew up on the original.
I hope you saw the Live raw version at the oscars this year. It was AMAZING.
You are much more than an opera singer, coach, analyst . . . in this video you really reach out and help us take this song in. And then you pierce the hurting souls listening to this and bring encouragement and love while exposing your own story of hurt. Wow. Thank you. You didn't have to do that. But you did. Amazing.
I really do need to listen to more Lady Gaga. Mostly I have enjoyed her duets with Tony Bennett.
Truly amazing Angelina Jordan would still fit in your playlist of lesser known female artists but that is about to change. She just sang at the FIFA Awards (football/soccer) with hundreds of millions viewing. Angelina has a new song coming in late April. Her first album on Republic Records will be released around early September with all original songs and Angelina said the style was influenced by the 60's. My other favorite female artist is The Warning, a rock band from Mexico comprised of 3 sisters, each a musical prodigy like Angelina. The Charismatic Voice has multiple videos for Angelina and one for The Warning. Please watch them all.
Truly under the radar are The Sixsters, an all female band from the Ukraine, currently in Germany with the war still ongoing. They are talented and very much worth supporting.
Gaga doing "Edge of Glory" on the Stern show is the performance that got me to take her seriously
Same!
Her performance of hair on that show is absolutely awesome
The intro to this song is fascinating, I think you nailed it. She's amazing, this song is so good, and I can't believe how well it fits the movie.
What a reaction ❤
Loved it.
I love her song "a million reasons". All about how you try and not give up on someone you love when it would be easier to walk away. A lot of it she spends in her lower register. She's got some really nice slides in it as well.
If you want a song with raw emotion I'd highly recommend "perfect illusion". All about being duped in love in thinking you've found the one, that they are so close yet so far
Mass respect for her vocals! I’ve been a fan of your reviews and analyses for quite some time and I’m finally requesting an artist suggestion for your analysis.
Loreena McKennitt - All Souls Night (particularly the live version from the Alhambra.)
The music and lyrics are so moving, not to mention the location itself, adds a wonder to it.
The diverse instruments are great to see - I mean, how often do you see a hurdy-gurdy! (Other than in Eluveitie)
The most incredible and spot on analysis of a song from the vocals to the meaning. Just st an A+❤
i didnt see the big deal with this song until i saw the movie and the credits came on. now i see it.
Gaga recommendations:
You and I
Edge of Glory
Joanne (piano version)
Shallow
Always Remember Us This Way
Lady Gaga is the most talented musician since Michael Jackson. Lyrics. Vocals. Groove. Rock ‘n techno roll!
Thank you for reacting and appreciating her artistry! I would recommend these for you to check: Oscars 2015 Performance of The Sound of Music Tribute and Bang Bang You Shot Me Down Live Performance from her Jazz album’s Cheek To Cheek Tour
After your analyse I love the song even more ! Great job, keep going !!
I thoroughly enjoy your reactions to the singers that you discuss on your channel. You have a great depth of knowledge of the voice that I certainly appreciate. Loved the analysis of Gaga's voice. Thanks😀
Gaga is a rare talent for her or any generation. In an age where there are few singer songwriters who can literally anything.
I'm unexpectedly weeping. Life has been dark and difficult as of late, and simply hearing that someone understands, has been there & healed, struck me. I'm hoping happiness is possible again. I also hope that anyone reading this is safe & sound.
Edit: I think you'd very much enjoy Sugarland "Stay." Powerful & emotional vocals with only an accompanying acoustic guitar
I've never heard this song before either, and didn't think much about Lady Gaga one way or another. I love this song on so many levels. It's the perfect sequel to the 80's theme music, and as someone who much prefers the pop music of that era over what's mainstream now, that's saying a lot. And then there's her voice, and the message in the lyrics. I'm so glad you are talking about all of this. It's tough out there..
I love you and your reactions, keep doing this! As Lady Gaga voice is perfect as your reactions is!
Gaga has so many great performances, it is hard to keep track of them.
My favorite song is actually Perfect Illusion. It's a pretty simple track and doesn't really show off her skills in any notable way, but it just clicks for me and I have to start dancing, which is not pretty since I am 300 pounds. But it can't be helped :)
Can I say? Just Dance!
I recommend you react to The Sound of Music tribute from the Oscars (there is a video without cuts), Is That Alright from A Star is Born, Lady Gaga - Joanne Piano Version, Million Reasons - Live At Royal Variety Performance, Lady Gaga - Imagine - Live at Baku 2015 European Games.
Awesome reaction! Love this song. It’s one of the most visceral reactions I’ve ever had to a movie ending. Just perfect. I do think it should’ve won the Oscar but ultimately that’s not the measure. Incredible song, video, and reaction!
Thanks for doing this reaction and mentioning the Be There Certificate. I have a friend going through some mental health issues and I recently had my own. I am definitely going to take the course now that I have been made aware of her foundation and this resource.
I love Lady Gaga, her talent belongs with those of the greats, Mariah and Whitney. Not only brilliant vocalists but they have phenomenal records, too!
*I can't believe you haven't reacted to Marina and the Diamonds yet. Marina's voice ranges the whole spectrum. Her first popular song, "Hollywood" would a great one for you to react to. There's also a compilation video of clips of her best live performances that you'd love.*
Girl, you’re indeed making me fall in music everyday. But the supporting comments about better mental health are the best! I really needed this tonight. Thank you.
Amazing song and that bit with the piano and the mustang with tom cruise flying past stunning 😍
A female singer that I'm sure you would like is the Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø. There are several versions of e.g. O mio babbino caro, Pie Iesu, as well as Christmas songs like O holy night on RUclips.
Also her duet with Brian May, "What Are We Made Of"
All we hear is radio ga ga, Radio goo goo, Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga, Radio blah blah.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Queen fans will know this reference.
Oh yes. 80's Queen. After their best stuff like Keep Yourself Alive, '39, The Prophet's Song and Spread Your Wings.
Just to note, the video the way it's put together is for the song only. The movie is way different in emotion and physical aspects in it. I was obsessed last year with Hold My Hand. Also check out OneRepublic - I Ain't Worried is from the same soundtrack. Thank You for reviewing, it was a pleasure hearing someone enjoying it.
Hi Elizabeth back again it's almost like your the one holding my hand, so I wanted to say thank you you've been helping me .and this video I remember had a big impact so I've watched it alot this past week lol
