What reactions should I do to The Bee Bees?
There are so many good Bee Gees songs to react to. These are some of the biggest songs from the later years (87-01): You Win Again, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Wish You Were Here, Wedding Day, Closer Than Close (Maurice), Alone and This Is Where I Came In. I would love to see a reaction to one of these songs.
Lamplight
If you want some Maurice on lead then Man in the middle is great
Please react to BEE GEES SUCH A SHAME.
Oh please react to I started a joke, but a live version, from 1989 or 1997. You'll get surprised!
Robin had a unique voice. I love his voice.
When Robin would sing this in concerts Barry would step back and sometimes turn his back to the audience so Robin would get all the attention. The camera always seems to favor Barry so Barry made sure to step away and turn his back so the camera would feature mostly Robin. Robin usually does something similar when Barry sings "Words".
They weren't doing a"back and forth" on that second verse. Robin was still singing lead, Barry was just supporting his lead on that second verse. When they sang together on a lead, it made a whole other voice. It was pretty cool. Their voices were similar and yet so different individually. Yet when they both sang a lead together, it made this other beautiful voice!!
The BeeGees had many voices that's what made them interesting, you had each individual brother with their own unique sound and then you had various combinations of two of them or all three, I honestly think that it would have been even more impressive if Andy had joined them. It was said that he was invited to join his brothers as an official BeeGee but he passed away before he had the chance, it's sad I'm sure they would have made some amazing songs together.
It's really noticeable in the beginning of the chorus on For Whom The Bell Tolls. First Barry and Robin then Robin takes over. I just love it.
Our gorgeous Mo sings the high part..he is a beautiful part of the BGs..Mo did alot ❤😍♥💖💕 reaction to one of. Mo songs he wrote (Man in the middle) remember it's 3 part harmony Mo does falsetto..too!!!!!!.
Robins natural vibratto is so nice.They all could sing in falcetto even Maurice.
Most Bee Gees songs are co-written by all thee brothers. However, generally the brother who came up with the idéa to the song also sang lead on it. Robin came up with this song.
This was a hit in the sixties pre disco era.
This is OLD Bee Gees, but performed twenty years later. A hit in 1966. They only wrote it because there was a fascination with America among the British; they liked writing about anything to do with America. Thought it was romantic just like Americans write about Rome or Paris France. In the mid-sixties, The Bee Gees topped the charts with ballads and love songs like this one. This IS a song from the sixties, but you're seeing it performed in the late eighties. In the early seventies, they did love songs like "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart". Then in the mid seventies, it was funky r&b like "Nights on Broadway". This evolved into the disco music of the "Saturday Night Fever" era. So they have at least four different stages to their careers. Listen to the original version from 1966.
Maybe 1st stage is Australia 1960-1966
2nd stage: UK and internationally 1967-breakup
3rd stage: 1970-1973 Comeback with HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART, LONELY DAYS, RUN TO ME
4th stage: Miami, USA reinvention 1974-1979 (which Robin joked is sometimes referred to as the helium years)
5th stage: Songwriters for others after being written off as only a 70’s Disco Group
6th stage: Post-Disco beginning in 1987 with YOU WIN AGAIN, gaining respect when they became (I believe I’m remembering this correctly) the first group and songwriters to have a #1 hit in 4 decades in a row, then in 5 decades in the 90’s when Islands In the Stream was covered by a couple of comedians for charity
They had 5 decades of music you can react to. They wrote and produced almost all of their own music for all of those decades. They successfully wrote and produced music for their much younger brother Andy Gibb and other very successful artists! There are so many great songs beyond just their hits. Another reactor Chad Summers has done nearly 1000 Bee Gees reactions.He does such a wonderful job.He has Bee Gees weekends where he does reaction videos to 4 of their songs. The Bee Gees music is one very deep rabbit hole!!!
maurice had one that stands out in my mind... man in the middle
....and WALKING ON AIR, both from their last album before he passed.
Yes, and I loved when Maurice took the lead on the song, get close to you!!!
Closer than close to you, Wildflower- both with Mo taking the lead.
Thanks for these reaction!
Masachussets
is the first #1 to youngest Bee Gees in UK (1967, the same year when "Sgt Peppers" album by BEATLES was realized)
This song is so special, Robin takes the leads, some kind of magic and feelings and emotions exploted with Robin's unique and angelical voice
I can suggest another songs from the earlies 60/70s:
I've gotta get a message to you
I've started a joke
I saw a new morning
How can you mend a broken heart
Lonely days
My world
(greatest ballads and pop songs, before era disco sound)
Have a nice week
See you in next videos

He has a beautiful haunting sadness to his voice. I just love it.
@@kathieovercash8414 So do I Kathie
Who else could make a song about Massachutsetts sound that good .
I know you said that the disco era was awesome. But the Bee Gees have been singing since the 60s and they are famous for a lot more than the disco part of it that was only maybe three years of their careers. They’ve been singing since the sixties to 70s the 80s and even into the 90s these guys are 40+ years old with their music and it never gets old they are the most awesome group in the world in my opinion.
They each have their own sounds n styles.
If you want to hear Maurice, check out Man in the Middle. All their songs are great, love the 60's because that is what I grew up with.
This is actually an older song from the early 70's. All the brothers had certain songs they sang lead in. This was always a Robin song. Another of his is, "I started a Joke", Maurice is often overlooked because he didn't make waves about needing to be the featured singer, but jas a wonderful voice as well. Some of his songs are, "Man in the Middle", "Closer than Close", "Wildflower",
Some of their latest songs they did before Maurice died are, "One", "I Could Not Love You More", "You Win Again", "For Whom The Bell Tolls" among many others
My favorite Maurice song, is the one he sings with Lulu...The First Of May...Angelic song!❤❤❤
Robin had the greatest voice! Find some more of his solos! They are soooo magnificent!!❤❤❤
Plzzzz talk about wonderful Maurice..he foes everything!!#
Plz consider SEVEN SEAS SYMPHONY with Maurice taking the lead:)
This song is older than the Disco Era and Robin was very famous for this song and if I recall soon after the success from this song that Robin left the group. He returned and after some minor records they hit gold with their disco era
Always been one of my top favorite Bee Gees song.
It was just about a guy who left his girl in Massachusetts, Fabian........He went to San Francisco where the hippies were, the summer of love..1969...to be with the hip people that swept the world! Haight Ashbury was the place where all the youth of the word went to ...hippies! It was The SUMMER OF LOVE, flowers in your hair...free love. Everyone wanted to go there. He missed his gal, and when the lights went out in his life, he realized his place was in Massachusetts.
Bee Gees is the first group to score a UK number one hit in each of three decades: the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
Like Herb Alpert did in the 60s,70s and 80s.
Thanks for this, FWF - Robin is my guy! I notice that he often has a hand to his ear to "focus" - and also his voice it the most unique of them all --
They wrote the song while on tour in the states at the Regis Hotel in New York. This is what they said about it. It was supposed to be the antithesis to flower power anthems of the time such as “ Lets go to San Francisco” and “ San Francisco ( Be Sure To Wear Flowers in your Hair)” in that the protagonist had been to San Francisco to join the hippies but was now homesick. The idea behind the line “The lights have gone out in Massachusetts” suggested everyone had gone to San Francisco.
Robin is amazing! ❤️❤️
This is Where I Came In, Lonely Days and New York Mining Disaster..fantastic Bee Gees songs...xx
Also you didn't wait to see the 1 minute standing ovation that Robin got.
The Bee Gees brought you a way of harmonizing that people want to hear, that many groups cannot master. With every song, they show their talent for that song for what will be best for the performance!
This is the first or one of the first songs in the U.S. that the Bee Gees soared to the top of the pop charts. I think it was 1969 I remember...when this song came out. Robin, Maurice and Barry recorded this song ...............it is Robin's song...his creation..and is his legacy.
Maurice sings all the harmonies..tooooo
Maurice had such a sweet and soft voice. I love when he's singing lead :"Man in the middle", "Walking on air" ( it chorus is Beach Boys slightly flavored), "Trafalgar"( my fav), "You know it's for you", " On time", "Railroad", "Lay It on Me", "Country Woman", "On Time", "The loner", "All by myself"(1966), "Hold her in your hand", "Dimensions", "House of shame", "Suddenly", "Overnight", "Omega man", "Country man", "Angel of mercy", "Above and beyond", "Wildflower", ‘’Lonely winter’’..and of course I don’t forget his unissued LP "THE LONER" etc,...
Mo was sooo ADORABLE..by the by..he had agreat speaking voice to...that too was smooth n silky!!!! both twins are gone ...beautiful luvely people..also Barry is amazing..never stops making music...amazing...
BUCHHOLTZ mathieu. ty for all of Maurice singing lead
..i will be searching for them now,🤔
Maurice also broke up fights between Barry and Robin. I think the Bee Gees broke at least twice. Maurice was cool.
Maurice was the peace maker...luvely soul💙
bee gees living together robin sing falsetto leading
I love this song and didn't know about it till 2020
They just made it up!!
Only the Bee Gees can sing about Massachusetts and make it sound like heaven. If you want to hear Maurice sing solo listen to Closer Than Close.
Barry said Robin actually has a higher falsetto. On the Spirits album…listen to Living Together
Check out “Man In The Middle” & “Closer than Close” to hear Maurice. There is so much to hear from them. There are no others that compare to The Bee Gees.
They all had falsettos but Barry could use his falsetto & vibrato perfectly. With over 1000 songs in their catalog their music is legendary & timeless.
You have to do Love You Inside Out. It’s been sampled by Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg and the 90’s RnB girl band Total
Always been a huge fan of the Bee Gees, but somehow I missed Alone, which came out around 1997. I have played that song regularly since I found it a year ago. I love Alone!
Wow, love your reaction. The 3 brothers are the authors of this song. I confess preferring their 1967 original version because there weren't no synths but only romantic violins... Here's a link to learn more about the song en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts_(Bee_Gees_song)
Barry Gibb said that the song was about feeling lonely inside even when in a crowd. Not sure why . lol
Very good!! React FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS LIVE BEE GEES...
Mo is in there too!..can't you hear n see mo...remember 3 part harmonies...
Please do Spirits Having Flown and Raching Out from 1979. Love So Right, Subway, and The Way it Was from 1976 Wind of Change(Live Version) 1976 Bodyguard from the 80s. Thank You. You are doing a great job!
Thanks for this reaction. You should give "Secret Love" a try.
AS much as I liked the falsetto singing I always loved Robin's voice best. Just loved the sound of it.
Maurice did the falsetto on some of their songs.
Many songs they recorded in the 60's and 70's were like this, you just haven't heard them all.
They said the general rule was that whoever brought the song in sang the lead. With MASSACHUSETTS, Rob and Mo were in the hotel room playing around with Robin doing a Tom Jones or some other US singer’s voice, and their manager stuck his head in the door and said, “Record that.” (Many of their songs had humorous beginnings.) They finished and recorded the music, then words, in the studio with Barry. ...so, because the song was originally Robin’s inspiration, he’s singing lead. More than it being a general business rule to help keep peace between the brothers, in my opinion, Robin’s voice is usually best for the songs he sings lead on, and Barry’s for his. If you hear them switch off on verses, then they probably were together when the song was born. I’ve read that management might say to go back and add harmonies, and also that Barry would sometimes write for Robin’s voice, but the “general rule” is usually true, and is said to have been the source of intense competition. Barry just recently said that, after their first big #1 featured Robin’s lead, Robin thought that he should sing all leads, eventually leading to their breakup. This is my take... When his solo career didn’t take off, a more humble (and mature) Robin came back to the group. Keep in mind that Robin and Maurice were only 17 when they had that first big international hit, and only 19 when they broke up. They all grew up a lot during the breakup. This laid the groundwork for Robin to be able to accept Barry’s falsetto dominance while it lasted, and Barry being sensitive to the need to promote both of his brothers and their gifts to this day. Gotta keep the ego in check. They were each great, but greater together.
@@susieq9801 I read my comments back to try to see where I may have triggered your defense of Robin, and trashing of Barry. The only thing I can see is my saying that Robin returned to the group “when his solo career didn’t take off.” If I knew how to edit it, I would. It was not intended in any way to slight Robin. None of their solo careers took off, and they all came back together more, mature, wise, humble, and respectful of each other.
This is a sincere question... Was Robin “frequently overlooked,” or was he perhaps jealous of the attention Barry received? He said he left because he felt Stigwood was favoring Barry, and not just over which song would be the A-side single. Stigwood highly praised Barry in an interview for his ability to custom write for anyone. Stigwood also took Barry to LA where he received some acting offers, and took only Barry to meet Otis Redding to discuss writing for him. Was Stigwood playing favorites, or did Barry perhaps have some songwriting skill apart from his brothers? Why shouldn’t it be acknowledged? If it were Robin being praised for a special gift that Barry didn’t have, would you object? Robin absolutely deserves all of the attention he gets, but so do Barry and Mo. Yes, even Barry deserves the credit he gets, including for his falsetto. No, he may not be perfect, but neither were Robin or Maurice. They are all wonderful and talented individuals, and it’s OK that each (even Barry) be loved. The problem seems to be because Barry really does get more attention than Robin or Mo, especially by fans of their 1975-1979 music. Why can’t you graciously allow Barry his attention, too?
When Robin left The Bee Gees, he came off as petty, immature, insecure, jealous, narcissistic.., all traits understandable and quite typical for a still very young suddenly internationally famous pill-popping super star. There are lots of stories of music groups breaking up over ego, often turning on the most successful member. It says a lot for all three of the Gibbs - yes, even for Barry - that they figured out how to manage to defy the odds and stay together, because they were better together.
To be fair to Maurice and Barry, maybe one of the reasons Robin had the first solo success was because Barry and Maurice continued as The Bee Gees for a time. Also, I’ve read that Maurice helped Robin with what became his first solo material, originally intended to be for the next Bee Gees album, but was not acknowledged in the credits. If that is true, then Robin’s first “solo” success was not completely “solo.” How did Barry and Maurice’s DON’T FORGET TO REMEMBER do in the charts, and how did it compare with SAVED BY THE BELL?
A key point to remember about this period is that they were all three still under contract with Stigwood for about 2 years more, so Robin’s solo career was partially, and rightly so, held back while terms of his going solo were negotiated. Also, the brothers said the record executives scuttled Cucumber Castle and all of their solo attempts, not just Robin’s. Yes, the music business is a dirty business, but they ultimately conquered it. It’s part of why their story is so fascinating and inspirational.
Overall, your comments make me sad. Kinda reminds me of the stories of people whispering negative and divisive things in their ears about their siblings that caused them to break up. In the words of Vince Malorney, “SUCH A SHAME!”
I have never seen any source that said that “Barry took over” the projects for Streisand, etc. Please site yours. I mean that sincerely. I would really like to know.
When was Islands In The Stream ever “mainly Robin’s song?” His studio version wasn’t even recorded until 2001. Yes, it was recorded for their greatest hits album, but Robin’s version was never a hit version. The 1983 Rogers-Parton cover version was the hit. Barry sings the demo version, and all of the Bee Gees concert videos that I’ve ever seen have Barry on lead. Other than at one of Robin’s solo concerts, when did he ever sing the lead?
Barry didn’t say that he was estranged from his brothers. I believe he said that he wasn’t in the best place with any of them when they died. He recently said that he and Robin had disagreed about whether they should continue recording together as Bee Gees without Maurice.He didn’t think it was a good idea, but Robin desperately wanted to continue. In hindsite, he realizes that Robin probably knew he was sick, which would explain his desire. With Andy, it had to do with his addiction, including to alcohol, and because they had been advised to have tough love. I lost an addicted brother the year after Andy died. I guess you can say that our family wasn’t on the best of terms with him when he died, but that’s not the same as saying that it was our fault. My parents were following the professionals’ advise, too. We will forever live with that, and so will Barry. Anyone who has experienced such loss knows that those left behind typically question what they could have done differently, and deal with regrets. I did not interpret Barry’s statement in the same way that you did, but maybe that’s because I’ve had a similar experience.Have you ever heard Barry, or anyone close to them who would know, say why they weren’t on the best of terms? If so, please provide your source so we can all know what you think you do. If not, I think it’s wrong to assume that Barry was saying that it was his fault. Families are more complicated than that, and your comment is just heartless, judgemental and insensitive.
I love Robin’s vibrato, but it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. And, if you’re honest, you have to admit there is some less than flattering information about Robin out there. Would you appreciate those things showing up in comments? I’m sorry if what I said seemed critical of Robin. It really wasn’t intended to be. Please read my original reply as a whole. I don’t believe it favors one brother at another’s expense. I love them all. Please let up on Barry!
Reaction videos are intended to be fun!!!
Why not let it go and just enjoy the music?
@@susieq9801 So, no sources to back up your previous biased claims? No links of Robin singing “Islands” and making it a hit before Barry so rudely took it away from him? Didn’t think so. Just more hate that’s not worth a response. “Such A Shame!”
@@dp3396 - Oh poor, poor pitiful you. I've been a fan since 1967, have followed them since, seen dozens of interviews and read their bios. I guess the bios and interviews by the members themselves and knowledgeable others are not sources.
I NEVER said Robin made "Islands" a hit. You're reading comprehension is lacking and your own bias evident. Rogers and Parton did but once it became a hit it was sung in concert by Barry while on their greatest hits by Robin. Why the switch? Songwriting credits went to all three but Rogers said "Barry gave me the song". Was he there when the song was written?
Barry is IMO deceptive. The lie about not knowing Robin was ill until he saw a photo is a glaring one. NOBODY takes a photo to their doctor to ask about a brother on the other side of the Atlantic. There's this fancy invention called a phone. Barry was interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning WITH Robin and even then it was obvious to a blind man that Robin was dying. Furthermore, in an interview RJ was angry because he said he phoned Barry well before PLUS his mother and sister knew a year before. Good enough sources?
It has been stated by the performers themselves that The Bee Gees, not just Barry, were asked to produce albums for others. They also contributed songs. All three sang backup on "Immortality" for example.
I don't hate anyone but feel the Bee Gees have become "The Barry Gibb Show" and that is disgusting. Now he's rehashing songs that were perfect in the first place. Why? The artists themselves could do that. Perhaps release those never released or remaster them.
The fact remains that Barry admits he was not on good terms with all three brothers when they died. I guess they were all to blame and he was blameless.
I'll delete my remarks so you can sleep well tonight. Poor dear.
@@susieq9801
You can read all the bios in the world but unless you are part of the family you don’t know what’s going on and are just speculating about other peoples lives. For goodness sakes leave them alone.
@@djeasylis5311 - Likewise for you. You don't know either.
Leave it alone? I just did.
Please do the original from 1967, Thank You
React to I started a joke by robin gibb its fantastic!! Robin wrote it. U will luv it!!!
It's about a lost love he left in Massachusetts. The girl he lost there.
Please react to SHE KEEPS ON COMING LIVE BY THE BEEGEES or I STARTED A JOKE LIVE ONE NIGHT ONLY CONCERT 1997
The Bee Gees went to MA in 1989
I saw them there and in Las Vegas in 1997
It's been the 'Flower-Power' time. Yaknow hippies were on the way to California. Music's been dominated by songs like 'San Francisco' or 'California Dreaming'. The state of Massachusetts is on the eastcost. The boys were reflecting about, what the hell should those people do: "Try to hitch a ride to San Francisco" and in the chorus: 'And the lights, all went out in Massachusetts". They were/are masters of songwriting. Only needed snippets to create songs, that forever will stand the test of time.
You should watch the doc, How to mend a broken Heart. Songs - I heard a joke, fanny be tender, Too much Heaven. This concert, video you watched here, is excellent as well.
Spicks And Specks (1966)would be a good one to react to.
Robin sang hundreds of songs, you just gotta just look. And yes, they all can sing falsetto. Barry says Robin sings a higher falsetto than he.❤
Love Massachusetts .
I think you should do another one of these but compare their How do you mend a Broken Heart with Al Green’s cover! Both are so amazing yet so different! Also I think I remember Robin saying his idea for the song had nothing to do with Massachusetts itself, it was the word and how it sounded and how many syllables it has. It filled out the song and was recognizable to a lot of fans. Also I’ve Just Gotta Get a Message to You really shows Robin’s gifts!
👏👏🤜
Just a song!!!!
The Mr. Natural album is the "bridge" between their ballad style and the R&B style that led to the Saturday Night Fever sound. Try the song Mr. Natural from that album ruclips.net/video/dFulEf2aylE/видео.html
PearlE Gates - Great Robin lead with Barry in the middle verse.
They were singing at the same time.
This song was from the 60’s originally. They all could do falsetto, Barry was the only one who could sustain it though….for any length of time.
They liked the name and it had a lot of sss in it
Hey Barry hasn't passed!!!!!!!
Please do the reaction to Close Another Door. I’m starting chemo and I will have my phone with me. I would to see your reaction to this song.
Ronda Kelly - Robin at 17 sounds like an 80 year old black soul singer at the end of that one! Great song.
Good luck with your chemo. I wish you well!
@@susieq9801
Thank you so much. I really love this song.
You have done a reaction to Fanny Be Tender With My Heart. BUT…try to do it again with the video of them singing it instead. I think Moe is wearing a pink shirt. Why? Pay close attention especially at the end, because Robin sings the high notes as much as Barry. Another great song is The New York Mining Disaster. Because your interest if you watch an interview Michael Parkinson interview them in the video where they are you get and you see them with guitars. It takes 25 minutes but it answers a lot of your questions
All three or maybe two of them wrote it,
this is their older stuff Disco is their later stuff
They wrote this song in New York City, they just liked the word Massachusetts haha
You said "before Barry passed" but he hasn't. Robin passed away after they were in the studio together..
It was really about New York. Massachusetts sounded better, so they went with that. I saw them in concert in 1989 in Massachusetts at The Great Woods
Disco is their later stuff rock pop was their earl;y music
Fanny be tender, they take turns, got to get a message to you, Barry and Robin take turns, Mr Natural a lot of Robin, I Started a Joke, Robin leads, Man in the Middle and closer then close Morris leads. Since you like disco, Barry does lead more of those, but they all take the lead quite a bit over the years. Barry did not write all the songs. They wrote them together.
Robins vocals have always been so much better than Barry’s.
They have different vocals. Barry has an amazing ability to switch from his falsetto to his wonderful chest voice. I think it is unfair to say one's vocals are better than the other's. They all contributed to their phenomenal career. Their individual voices were so different, but they all contributed to that amazing 3 part harmony.Whoever had primarily written the song, sang the lead.
Hi Laurie, listen, I think you have the right to your own opinions. I know a lot of people who loved Barry’s vocals and I like them but I personally believe Robin had the best vocals of all them. I get that you may not think that’s fare and I should treat them as a whole. Even doing that….Robin still has the better vocals for me. No disrespect to your opinion.
I will need to agree to disagree! I am a longtime fan of 51 years- since I was 9 years old. l am not going to change my mind at this point. The experience of listening to music is very subjective. Alot of different factors go into it.Sometimes it boils down to a personal choice.
Laurie, isn’t that what I basically said? You have every right to have your own likes and dislikes. Who you prefer isn’t any of my business. Oh, don’t use the age thing……I was born in 55’.
Sorry but Robin wrote the song. All the bee gees took equal credit. They all could sing and play instruments. Robin could play piano and guitar, but was too nervous to play on stage
It is a song where Massachusetts sounds better than NY
The song was actually about New York
Barry did not write all the songs.
*The Bee Gees* were never *Disco* .
bee gees he's a liar
