I was a child when these guys were on top of the lists. Ten years later Boy George released a cover version of a 60's song called The Crying Game, probably my favorite from him.
gotta say, your reactions are real! I know you might piss some folks off, I think you might stumble a few times but for the most part, it's a real reaction. I've been following other reaction vids and a lot of them pander, you don't! That being said I think you need to tighten up your reviews a bit more and your "honest" reactions will rise to the top. I'm a fan dude!
I love the way people react to blackface without the context., haha. I know it's horrible, buuut it was done on purpose as a mockery of society in that decade. This is something to understand it better: It was directed by Julien Temple. The concept of the video was Boy George as an outsider, getting kicked out of different places in various historical settings. Temple explained: "'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" was about being gay and being victimized for your sexuality, which George was kind of emblematic of. It seemed appropriate to me that in the video he would be judged by jurors in blackface, to send up bigotry and point out the hypocrisy of the many gay judges and politicians in the UK who'd enacted anti-gay legislation." So they didn't do it by way of offense, and btw one of the members of the band, Mikey Craig the bass player is black, one of the reasons they're called "Culture Club". And yeah man, Boy George is sexy, lol
if I remember right the slow beginning part of video was banned BECAUSE of the "black faces" so it just started with the piano. "Do you really want to hurt me" and blocked out the "black faces" for rest of video
Not really a favourite band of mine but they were the first gig I ever went to (pretty decent gig... probably... I had nothing to compare it to which may have helped 😁). Boy George is pretty cool
Thanks for the reaction. What you have to remember is that music is art. There's plenty of music that I would never listen to. But others think is great. Then there's alot of music I would never listen to but the production is great and unique. In reality I'm pretty limited in my musical taste. Probably more so the older I get. I prefer female vocalists, I really like harmonies when done well. That doesn't mean other stuff sucks, it's just not of my taste. You disabled comment on the A-Ha "Take On Me" reaction. I was going to suggest you react to Diana Ankudinova's cover of it. She's a very young Russian newcomer. I think I really prefer that version of the song. "2020.05.24. "Take On Me". Диана Анкудинова. Diana Ankudinova." ----> ruclips.net/video/wUIUwQnIE_4/видео.html She's pretty amazing.
Praise for Derek Reacts - you are feeling mature today 😉. Followed by a butchering of a songs lyric by inserting childish breast references so maybe not 🤪 Yeah "Blackface" it was still the era where that hadn't been seen as quite as offensive as it always was. Admittedly i think it's meant to how those people as clowns. Good song.
Most people do listen because they like whatever song is playing. Try to listen carefully to all aspects of the song and find something positive to say. You can be critical without being rude or offensive. Personally I would hate it if you liked every song. I want an honest reaction. Be kind to yourself and your audience, while still being genuine. I know that's a tall order but try. Being phony is a bad thing too.
I wasn't meaning being phony lol. I was saying I'll still be the same but say it less rudely. I'm bad at using my words. I always have been. And I know I need to listen more carefully with the songs. I think I did that pretty well with the reactions I'm gonna post tomorrow
7:25 haha, as a matter of fact, at first Boy George did'nt agree with releasing this song as a single because he believed the lyrics were too personal for him and the song too long. Then, oh surprise! it was #1 in 23 countries. 4:54 and yeah , that's normal. It's doesn't matter your sexual orientation, we are all in love/attracted to George and his pretty androgyny lol! I clicked on the video for Culture Club but ended up loving your charisma. hah
If you think you might be attracted to Boy George, just check out 18 & Life by Skid Row. The singer, Sebastian Bach, might make you question your whole sexuality.😉
This Derek dude might have more subs than you…I wouldn’t know because I’ve never even heard of him, but I have heard of you and I think that counts for something.
Ok. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled through his videos to find something I wanted to watch and finally found one…turns out I had watched it sometime in the past. It was posted about a year ago. Watched it again. Pretty straightforward reaction…totally fine. Then I picked out a random one from 6 months ago, some Spanish song, he was dancing around in his chair and paused the video to put up some banana animation, flapping his yap about I don’t even know what. Besides the fact that he reacts to stuff I’m not interested in, I can’t imagine I’d ever sub his channel. Maybe I didn’t watch enough to pick up on his fakeness, but I didn’t find him appealing. He does edit though, which I think is totally fine. Whether I like the content or not, I can still appreciate the effort in the production. So, to sum up, you shouldn’t waste your time on that dude. You’re more likable.
Lol dude ur a trip. Ur all over the place. 😄 I love it! Great react!

Boy George is cultural icon

Not enough of you reactors share songs that you didn't like. Everyone seems to only share songs they like. I want to see it all.
Oh yeah I know bro. I'm still gonna listen to songs I hate. It's just my wording will change. I'll try not be such a asshole about it.
i subbed u cause yer funny as hell :-D
Thanks man
Boy George has an incredible voice. Check out his song "Life".
if I remember right the slow beginning part of video was banned BECAUSE of the "black faces" so it just started with the piano. "Do you really want to hurt me" and blocked out the "black faces" for rest of video

Just do me a favor watch 1 of his reactions and just tell me what you think
Ok. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled through his videos to find something I wanted to watch and finally found one…turns out I had watched it sometime in the past. It was posted about a year ago. Watched it again. Pretty straightforward reaction…totally fine.

Aye I appreciate it bro
Just be honest don't call a song shit people are offended easily nowadays.just say its not your taste in music. If you a reaction you hate.
Love the peepee abortion song. Right on!
Beginning to end, this was just sad. People don't generally flock to reactions with miserable hosts. Hope you find yourself, dude.
I'm doing just fine dude.
