His father did not have stage four cancer. His father had stage four kidney disease and all possible matches had been gone through with no success. James produced this song (as his father was dying) and a distant relative got in touch with him and they found their match. His father got a kidney and is doing well.
@@tommigun102470 if that’s the case then don’t do a reaction video to it. People who do these reactions channel have to be aware of perception because even if she laughs to keep from getting emotional as viewers we clearly don’t know that so you’re going to come across as a callous cold-hearted ignoramus.
@@tommigun102470 nobody’s upset? I was giving an example of how laughing during something like this that’s supposed be about a serious issue comes across to viewers. Relax drama queen
Shocking all the reactions I've seen about this song , everyone crying, those guys laughing like it's a comedy...... very disappointing.... Oh and he did not have stage 4 cancer, but kidney failure
James father was a kidney donor some years ago but then got cancer disease on his remaining kidney and he was stage 4 kidney failure when a distant cousin came forward and was a match so he survived
This is one of the most poignant and beautiful songs I have ever heard and then I hear this cackle laugh, was shocking. Worst reaction to this song ever. And by the way, James Blunt donated all the proceeds from this song to a veterans organization in the UK.
James song had saved his farther because it went around the world and found a doner for his father to save his life.Also when they filmed James singing Monsters the film crew were in tears and James father said why are you crying because I'm still here.
This was filmed i believe in James Blunts house , the crew filmed this in one take , everyone was in tears at the end , Blunt Snr said why is everyone crying im still here
@Alaska Reactions… Here’s some background info on the song…James wouldn’t permit anyone to be edit anything out of the filming of this video, he wanted all his true emoticons to show thru (and they did just that)…The song was originally a poem written by James Sister…The chorus, “I’m not your son, your not your father we’re just two grown men saying goodbye”, actually came from something James father, Charles a colonel in the British Army Air-core, had said to James…James a captain in the British Army was being deployed to the Middle East, since British officers are not permitted to show sentiment and emotion in front of the troops, (“Stiff upper lip”, and all that) …His father would say, I’m not your father, your not my son we’re just two grown men saying goodbye…James flipped the line and made it a huge part of this epically emotional song/ video…The release of this video also served to inform a distant family member, whom knew nothing about Charles Medical need…The cousin was tested, found to be a match, and ended up donating a kidney which saved Charles life…Miracles do Happen….Good Luck Jjh
Hey, lighten up everybody. Anything that involves grief is not something everyone can deal with, hence the laughter. The daughter is of an age and a comfortable life where none of life's sadness barely registers with her. Mind you, having said that, I doubt I watched this family again. Robert, uk.
It was actually stage four kidney failure. After this was released they had thousands of people who came forward. Luckily one was a match and the transplant went ahead and his dad is OK now.
lol need a shot after that Alakan , Irish and English my family is 50/50 English and Irish every funeral ends in a massive drinking session its in our blood or it is later:P as my late mum said you can either laugh or cry at the hard parts in life at some point you have to do something about it son. What a lovely family keep posting guys i cry at nothing but as soon as i hear a winner takes it all by ABBA i tear up once music is linked to a person it remains like a an emotional memory to the person and never goes away my songs are gathering sad to say.
Reding through the comments, I was surprised. Then I looked at thumbs and down. I have never, EVER seen this many thumbs down on ANY reaction visit. 1,700 up, 825 down. So, I watched the whole thing. I wasn't as "put off" as many seem to have been. The early laugh from "mom" was odd. Other than that, I didn't see any reason for a thumbs down. So I gave it a thumbs up. Not the greatest music reaction I've heard, but also far from the worst.
I happen to live in Alaska. Don't know where in Alaska you live, but if you happen to live in Anchorage and ever see a dude riding a blue trike in subzero weather in the winter and you think that dude is an idiot, that would be me as I ride it all winter. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😊😊 I gave subscribed.
Wow never seen anyone laugh e laugh at this and I watched many reaction … but I’ll put it down to a nervous giggle not realising James was saying goodbye to a father everyone thought would die as no kidney match had been found at this time …
you Alaskans are tuff folk , I've seen many reactions to this song and seen many grown men in floods of tears by the second verse . You guys are doing a reaction video and you didn't react. I think you got there in the end.....
Ich konnte zu keiner Zeit bei diesem Song lachen, im Gegenteil! Schade, es schmälert die Reaktion auf diesen Song ein bisschen. Wenn man auf Songs reagiert, sollte man sich ein wenig im Griff haben.
It's very natural for a lot of people to uncontrollably let out a laugh when they're about to cry. It's a defense mechanism which affects people in different ways.
People please not everyone is the same.. everyone complaining about the family not crying is hilarious.. different people express sad emotions differently when watching videos..
Could you guys please check out an artist called Ren when you get a chance... he is phenomenal, you won't be disappointed... you should start with Hi-Ren
May i draw your attention to a new artist for you. Angelina Jordan and maybe try "I put a spell on you" black/white version or her AGT 2020 when she sings "Bohemian Rhapsody". Love from Norway. This girl hits your soul like no other can IMO.
Have to be honest probably one of the worst reactions to this song ive seen next time u do a reaction don't give people a back story about it before hand do the reaction first them give them the back story
Two things, your audio blows. I always wanted to hear James Blunt's Monsters with a vacuum cleaner in the background, so thanks for bringing that to me. Second, how the hell do you laugh at a man crying over the impending death of his father?
First of all, thank you for the reaction. To the people hating on the reaction and the laugh of the mom: A lot of people laugh when they are starting to get emotional. I´ve seen it a lot of times. Especialy from women (my personal experience). Look at it as a automatic defense mechanism of the mind. I bet a lot of poeple, who disliked the video didn´t even finished watching.
I dunno people. I kinda get the laugh....it wasn't a humor laugh to me. It was more from just being blown away and shocked at how deep and meaningful that line was. Sort of like a "holy SH*T" kind of reaction.
Literally the least emotional family I've ever seen on RUclips!
A number of people have laughed on first hearing this song......one, the number is one
never seen such a stone heart family !!lol
the look like.. they get more joy of watching paint dry 😂
Congrats, this is the first time I watched a reaction video for this song where the reactor laughed and didn't cry. I don't know what else to say.
They did tear up.
@@encrypter46 yeah but it was like it was expected .... not for the song..
Cold hearted Alaskans
James blunt was in genuine emotional pain which you can see on his face, and yet the reaction was to laugh and barely shed a tear? Wow
Im Indonesian, metal vocalist, english not my 1st language... But 1st time i watching this song i cried... Are those two women human?
The wife laughing was just cold asf
This was my first visit to the channel... it'll be my last.
Wow.i won't be back. first time I saw someone laughing at this song.Coldhearted.
I completely agree i was shocked
Never heard anyone laugh during this
At this stage in the song she has no idea what the words covey. I suspect that she did at the end
she laughed because she had tears in her eyes. a moment of surprise
I saw one and I no longer watch them.
Yeah that was ridiculous.
@@davidace5444 "she laughed because she had tears in her eyes. a moment of surprise"
- utter tripe, she wasn't crying at all and the rest is equally drivel
Cold as ice. Wow
yep I can't follow anyone who doesn't have at least a TEAR for this song....
is there something wrong with her? WTF was funny
Yeah, that laugh may have killed this channel. Did for me.
@@jcarteeri Harsh. Some people react to certain things in ways we do not expect. Different perspective and all.

Me too@@jcarteeri
Can’t believe you laughed.
Damn these two chicks are emotionally dead
Where trash
What a rubbish reaction! Both women void of any feeling whatsoever! Whatever you do, don't give up your day jobs!
Seriously? They find out the father is dying and laugh hysterically.
His father did not have stage four cancer. His father had stage four kidney disease and all possible matches had been gone through with no success. James produced this song (as his father was dying) and a distant relative got in touch with him and they found their match. His father got a kidney and is doing well.
correct, and if i heard right, it was actually a cousin...
@@ryannelson3220 In Australia.
Worst reaction to an emotional song. Laughing ….
I won’t be back.
Some people laugh to try not to get emotional
Yes, I'd really love to know what she found funny??? Absolutely ridiculous!

Wow! That girl has a real problem! Music reactions aren't going to endear you to anyone. Done with channel !
I've seen more reaction from 3 blocks of wood.
Box of rocks comes to mind.
James father was a kidney donor some years ago but then got cancer disease on his remaining kidney and he was stage 4 kidney failure when a distant cousin came forward and was a match so he survived

What a dreadful reaction, this is my first and last time on your channel!
I really don't get the laughing! I'm beyond livid about that. My 1st & last time here.
review by 3 statues!!!
Wow the daughter has a heart of stone , no reaction what so ever .
Dad wiped a few tears ..
May wanna find a different hobby. Music reaction aint it.
James’ father, Charles Blount, underwent a kidney transplant in 2020, with James happily revealing his father is now doing ‘well’
This was filmed i believe in James Blunts house , the crew filmed this in one take , everyone was in tears at the end , Blunt Snr said why is everyone crying im still here
Just wondering? What was so damn funny that made you laugh!!...
Really….laughing

They never said that to each other at all. It's just internet bullshit.
His sister did not write any poem this song is all James work
They are as cold as the ALASKAN weather
Hey, lighten up everybody. Anything that involves grief is not something everyone can deal with, hence the laughter. The daughter is of an age and a comfortable life where none of life's sadness barely registers with her.
Mind you, having said that, I doubt I watched this family again. Robert, uk.
Don't forget RUclips always throws up next suggestions before the video ends. You missed a touching moment between them.
I noticed most reactors cut it off before that point. It's really frustrating that they don't care to see it to the end.
It was actually stage four kidney failure. After this was released they had thousands of people who came forward. Luckily one was a match and the transplant went ahead and his dad is OK now.
The match came from a cousin in Australia

Like so many be for you, you didn't let it play to the end.
The first thing I thought at 1:46 was that she was okay? you can tell a lot about people in these reaction videos
Reding through the comments, I was surprised. Then I looked at thumbs and down. I have never, EVER seen this many thumbs down on ANY reaction visit. 1,700 up, 825 down. So, I watched the whole thing.

Your daughter has a pretty hard heart by showing no reaction.
I thought the same. But cut her some slack, I'm sure this doesn't resonate yet.
You expect everyone to cry like rain drops.. not everyone is the same.. different people handle emotions differently..
@CJ-Jackson80 no I just know a hard heart when I see one but like you not everyone has a heart.
If you want to react to another sad song by him based on real life experience, I recommend The Girl That Never Was
I happen to live in Alaska. Don't know where in Alaska you live, but if you happen to live in Anchorage and ever see a dude riding a blue trike in subzero weather in the winter and you think that dude is an idiot, that would be me as I ride it all winter. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😊😊 I gave subscribed.

Best channel name ever!
Laughing the tears away... it won't work. And btw it was kidneycancer... never to late to learn! Thanks for reacting!
I doubt they’ll hit a thousand subs.
you Alaskans are tuff folk , I've seen many reactions to this song and seen many grown men in floods of tears by the second verse . You guys are doing a reaction video and you didn't react. I think you got there in the end.....
TLDR: "I'm dead inside."
Well... Ok not a great review but we're all made different. I'll just move along elsewhere.
1:45 wtf is funny Huh? Sheessh
You should all react to his song ‘girl that never was’, another sad but fab song
I cried my heart out!! lol
Great song!!
You want them to laugh at that too?
They know their suppose to react right???
Ich konnte zu keiner Zeit bei diesem Song lachen, im Gegenteil! Schade, es schmälert die Reaktion auf diesen Song ein bisschen. Wenn man auf Songs reagiert, sollte man sich ein wenig im Griff haben.
Paused about two seconds too early. The moment his father taps James on the arm just rips you up!
You missed the ending...a very touching moment.
James Blunt was in the British armed forces in the tank division and his father was his commanding officer in the Kosovo conflict
I assume its your daughter or is it a statue? No expression on her face what so ever.
*alaskans dont have emotions*
Why would you even give everything away right at the beginning? 30 seconds in and you already took all the fun out!
Omg, ignore the hate. Thanks for the reaction, more james blunt reactions please. Hello from Manchester England 🇬🇧
This woman is going straight to hell wtf!! 😂😂
What would she do if she listened to his song ‘The Girl that never was’……🤷🏼♂️
Probably laugh so maniacally you would be wishing Kamala was back.
I never found this to be funny...
It's very natural for a lot of people to uncontrollably let out a laugh when they're about to cry. It's a defense mechanism which affects people in different ways.
Can I ask you to find and listen to his other songs,one is about his young child he lost,other songs are good too.
Zero emotion. Are all people from Alaska like this.
Great, honest reaction folks. I felt your turmoil.
You stopped the video two seconds early.
Das sind 2 Eiszombies aus Alaska !!!
Is this a MAGA family? I'm trying to understand their limited capacity for empathy.
I believe it was a nervous emotional laugh. Her eyes are full of tears .❤
Democrats for sure. They only care about themselves.
Wtf does politics have to do with this video. Man, you're pathetic.
Search for "James Blunt The Girl That Never Was".and more.
He wrote this for his dad when he found out his das had kidney disease
The we are just two men saying goodbye cones from when they both went to war
People please not everyone is the same.. everyone complaining about the family not crying is hilarious.. different people express sad emotions differently when watching videos..

One word “heartless”
I was going to post . But everyone has beaten me to it
emotionally dead women ... sorry to have seen this ...
0:44 si era reaction por que explicaste todo eso antes de ver..!??? La idea era ver si entendian la letra a medida que iban viendo...
Have to be honest probably one of the worst reactions to this song ive seen next time u do a reaction don't give people a back story about it before hand do the reaction first them give them the back story
I believe she laughed cos she was uncomfortable with how sad the song is. I’ve seen another reaction channel do this, too.
tripe
I agree with you .❤
Ditto
Reaction videos usually have reactions
Two things, your audio blows. I always wanted to hear James Blunt's Monsters with a vacuum cleaner in the background, so thanks for bringing that to me. Second, how the hell do you laugh at a man crying over the impending death of his father?
Try to react filipino husband sings to his wife funeral
What a perfect reaction, folks, and not stopped at all.
I wish you rainbows.
He had stage four kidney failure, not cancer.
Please see if you can make time to react to NF. How Could You Leave Us.
hola reacciona a abel pintos tema el adivino muy bueno tu canal gracias

When you get a chance try Hi Ren by Ren...see how that hits....
Are there any emotions behind those faces?
This bout my Dad
