Poor Jay seems like he got lost and ended up in a "Ladies' Club" and he's just gobsmacked while Amber is transforming into queen of the dance floor! You two are the absolute best! 😆💞
Amber, would LOVE to see you in a club if this song started playing.... you would OWN the dance floor! Your reaction when the chorus first started.... PERFECT!
100% agree in the clubs when this came on the women took over the dance floor ... look out men the cougars were out there. Look up cougars didn't just mean an animal
Probably THE most iconic song in all of the gay nightclubs everywhere. It's also extremely popular for male bulesque shows and male stripper events. Martha Wash is a legend.
There is no voice quite like Martha Wash. You've heard her on C+C Music Factory, you've heard her on Black Box. She's had to fight just to get credited for her own vocals because she's not 36-24-36.
As a gay guy from the 80's I had the pleasure of seeing them in person multiple times. They were the best and sounded just as good live, if not better, as they did on the record. Loved them and their early support for the gay community!
This is such a fun song & Ambers reaction was infectious!! I must have been about 10 years old when this came out and me and my little girlfriends used to dance & sing this at the top of our lungs, looking back my poor mom 🤣🤣
I'm absolutely rolling in the floor at J's reaction to A's reaction of having so much fun with it. That's exactly what the song was meant for, women to have fun!!!
Fun fact: The songwriters Paul Jabara and Paul Shaffer originally wrote this for Donna Summer, but she turned it down. Then they offered it to Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand and Cher, who all turned it down. I'm glad they did because The Weather Girls OWN this song!
Martha Wash the lead vocalist is a powerhouse! She did work with C+C Music Factory, Black Box. Unfortunately she wasn't in those videos because of her size and there were "smaller" used to lip sync her part. She can SANG!
I'm in Australia and remember hearing this when the song came out .Paul S wrote it because they always got replaced in other bands Videos by thinner females.I was in my 20s and I didn't really care how they looked.
Amber’s reaction makes my gay heart so happy! The Weather Girls was so impactful to plus size women. And it was an anthem for the LGBT community! I’m so happy that you did this!
Back in the 80's this song was huge in gay dance clubs. It was also in the movies Bridget Jones's Diary, Magic Mike, Scary Movie, Easy Money and Vampires Suck as well as an episode of Friends.
They started out as "Two Tons of Fun" then changed their name to The Weather Girls...this song was actually written by Paul Shaffer who used to be the Band Leader on the David Letterman Show. Martha Wash was one of the 2 ladies singing. She went on to have a great solo career as she also sang lead vocals in a group called Black Box ..would love to hear you react to Black Box. She also sang vocals in C&C Music Factory....great songs too.
I really have to start seeing what comments have already been made before I start commenting. In my overlong comment I also mentioned Black Box and C&C Music Factory. 😅
Everyone was singing this. Most women love this sing. Gets us all excited. 😂😍 Don't think Jay's witnessed such raw female power before. 🤣 This song is powerful.
Martha Wash is an AMAZING singer and a wonderful person. Back in the 90's she was headlining at a popular club for New Year's Eve and staying in a hotel that I worked at. She asked me if I had plans for the night and when I told her I had planned on seeing her at the club but it was sold out, she got me and three friends in as her guests. So nice and such a GREAT performer!
I'm a guy, full straight and damn I love that song so much, each time I hear it I have to dance, and those voices and arrangments are awesome. Of course as a french, in the 80's I couldn't understand the words so we were just concentrated on the music, and it was a big hit and still nowadays one of those song when you play it, everyone is dancing
I don’t know who I’m laughing more at…Jay or Amber…I’ve watched five times and I’m hysterical. Go Amber, rocking this 66 year olds momma’s heart. On the serious side, love you two together, your love touches my spirit.
Absolutely, I know you posted a year ago, I was thinking the same! Old hippie......truly priceless. Cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing, so much fun!
The night I came out as gay to my older brother, 5 minutes before I made 'the announcement' he said "Remember how you always liked that song 'its raining men'?? That was weird, huh?" Then I dropped the bomb. Brother was cool as hell and said 'I don't care, your my brother'. That was 30 years ago. We still are as close as ever. And he ADORES my husband, who has been with me for 30 years (17 of them married). This brought such joy and good memories back. And what a great song for Pride month. You all bring such joy. Thanks for the smiles all year long.
Love LOVE Ambers reaction, this song is a fabulously ridiculous and essential part of all playlists…never fails to get the crowd going and leaves you laughing and loving life 🤩…best keep an eye on that weather forecast 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You guys are hysterical with this song!! This was the anthem for me and all my single friends in the 80's. We sang it out loud at the clubs and we changed one line to "short, fat, bald and cheap", LOL!! We met quite the characters back in the day. The 3 of us finally all got married in our 30's and we had this song play at each wedding and got out there to rock the dance floor!!
AMBER!!!! This has to be the BEST reaction I ever seen coming from you. Been watching you guys about the time Rob first came on, and in all those times, you put the BIGGEST smile on me and my wife faces. LOVE you guys.
And the outfits that the women in the office were wearing! So completely 80's. I dressed in similar clothes at this time, and I sometimes wore my hair in a side ponytail, just above the ear, and held with a scrunchie. I remember going to a small live music venue that my friends and I frequented. I was wearing a pink tee-shirt dress, matching pink fishnets, and pink high heels. God that was a fun night, lol!
I keep this one on my Favourites list because it never fails to make me smile. Not sure which I like better: Amber's reaction to the video, or Jay's reaction to Amber's reaction!
"Oh hush, y'all have y'all songs" Amen Amber! This was an amazing reaction to watch, so much fun. Really energized me and put a big smile on my face, thank you for doing this one!
At @2:48 you might have heard it on a show called "In Living Color" that was done by the Wayans brothers. One of the segments was the sketch "Men on . . ." featuring two reporters, Blaine Edwards (Damon Wayans) and Antoine Merriweather (David Alan Grier), and this was their theme song :)
It's a great tune, and quite possibly the #1 song of all time for drag shows (and the LGBTQ community) worldwide. The lead vocalist is the amazing Martha Wash, and the other vocalist is the late, great Izora Armstead. Martha also did the vocals for "Gonna Make You Sweat" by C&C Music Factory (even though they used a different woman in the video). She's one of the biggest unsung heroes in music history. The Weather Girls had a few others hits under their previous name, Two Tons O' Fun - "Dance (DIsco Heat)" and "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)".
Don’t get jealous, Jay. It’s just fire. Makes women who have already found their man appreciate Mother Nature even more. The song has always attracted every kind of gal (married, single, in love, lonely etc...) because it is so fun!
Hi there. I don’t think one person could think of or have to specifically write out every possible incarnation of who this song resonates with. I was neither trying to include everyone nor exclude anyone. ❤️
TOO FUNNY WATCHING JAY AND AMBER REACT TO THIS ONE!!! Jay reacts like most men to this song and Amber reacts like most women do to the song. Hilarious :) Love you guys!!!
Martha wash sang the vocals for C and C music factory. They wouldn't credit her because she was plus sized. She also sang on diamond's and pearls for prince. They used a small woman in his video too. She sued them for her credit and I believe she won both cases.
ROTFLMAO - Amber I absolutely ADORE you! And have been waiting patiently for this one for sooooooo long. Girl - you made it WORTH the wait. After a looooong day at work - you've completely made my night with this. Jordan - thanks for going with the flow ;). Love you both bunches :)
They were backup singers for Sylvester 😍🌈 He was upfront leading the parade... Proudly 😊👍 You make me feel (mighty real real) A Great Song RIP 🙏 Sylvester ✌️♥️
This, in my opinion, is the funniest reaction from the two of you since you reacted to "Escape". I was roaring with laughter. I hope I did not disturb my neighbors.
I was thinking the same. I will be playing this one over and over. I watch the Escape one whenever I've had a really rough day....because the 7th grade science teacher comment always ALWAYS makes me laugh!!
So glad I found this reaction! Don't know how I missed it? But its worth watching a few times, the Weather Girls have fantastic voices & the song is a hoot! But the best thing was Amber breaking out some moves & enjoying the hell out of the song! Great reaction girl! ☔
You guys are the cutest couple EVER. "you feeling this raining men a little too hard." I fucking LOVE you guys.. You are people I'd be friends with in real life.. love your energy and humor.
Martha Wash, one if my favorite singers! One half of The Weather Girls , went on to have unique and controversial singing career in the 90’s(look it up!) , so underrated! The other Weather Girl is the late Izora Arnstead . The was a hit in the 70’s disco era..
Over the year it's played in many places and movies, but back in the day mainly in gay clubs and anywhere there's male exotic dancers like the old "Chippendale's" clubs from the 1970s & 80s.😂😂
I love it when the music sweeps up Amber and she takes off flying. !! It's what Music is supposed to do, lift you, elevate you, make you feel like you're flying. Fly Robin Fly !!!!
FINALLY!!! I must have recommended this song at least 20 times. I cannot wait to see both of your reactions. This is without a doubt one of the best low budget, total awesome videos from the 80's. It always made me laugh. These women can belt
I've watched this reaction a dozen times... and shared with it my wife and a few others..... such unadulterated joy in your response..... we danced like crazy to this one back in the day.... and even every once in a while now..
That reaction was PRICELESS! You made my day. When we were at the club, very woman in the joint would stop what they were doing and run onto the dance floor!! 🤣🤣🤣
I LOVE Amber's reaction to this! I haven't laughed so hard in a while - I enjoyed it that much! Random memory...in the mid-80's in middle school (7th or 8th grade, Catholic school), our PE teacher had us doing aerobics, which I'm sure was hilarious. :-) This was one of the songs I remember being played during the aerobics sessions. I'd heard it before, and I was pretty surprised that she was playing it in class. but it's a great workout song!
@catholicfirefighter I guess I thought your signature was part of your reply - my apologies for the confusion. But my original comment wasn’t intended at all to convey anything about natural law, god, or science. It was just me wanting to share a memory related to the song. 😊
Martha Wash and Izora Armstead were the original Two Tons of Fun, the backup singers for Sylvester. They went on to record as The Weather Girls. Martha Wash continues to perform as the lead vocalist for groups like C&C Music Factory, Black Box (Everybody, Everybody), and others. She is AMAZING as a soloist!
Huge club hit loved Amber's reaction and Rob's shock. Unfortunately one of the ladies died but their daughters took over the mantel. They were brilliant talented singers obviously brought up in the gospel church with voices like that. They were the support singers of a singer called Sylvester who died young of Aids. He was a power house of a singer check some of his hits, huge in the clubs in the 80s.
I can't believe that three years ago was the first time you saw the most iconic song in history. One of my favorite one hit wonders. I grew up with that song since it's from the 80s and I'm from the 80s. That was a nice video and glad you got to experience that.
A & J, this was your best reaction ever! LOL! Jay has times he has his hands in his face and Amber's absolutely digging it! Great song choice and thanks for this reaction.
The side eyes from Jay to Amber at how much she's feeling this song got me DYINNNNNN!! LMFAOOOOOO. Amber's recognition is right up there w/ his reaction to hers lolollllll
From what I understand, the women who are singing the song have been backup singers for many different artists over the years. But their image did not play up to the image that radio records thought a singer should be with their voices. So sad that they’re beautiful voices they never got credit for.
@@annother3350 They had singing careers past the weather girls. They sang back up for many different bands, and our featured on many different albums except many of them are not credited. There were rumors going around that it was their size and that was why they were never credited. Where this song is amazing, and people love it, they really are one hit wonders as their other hits that they were actually credited for really never made it in the United States. This is not the first time size mattered when it came to singing careers.
Another fun get-up-&-get-moving song - Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch's "Good Vibrations" - the live version from their Arsenio Hall Show appearance is awesome.
Oh my GOODNESS!!!! This reaction is so great I'm commenting twice! This is by far the BEST EVER REACTION ON RUclips!! The most fun, animated, happiest!!! And Jay-Z I do believe you're blushing as well!!🤣 I've never done this before- but I'm gonna have to rewatch this reaction just cuza you guys!!😄👍❣️ ~ I 💟 The 80's! ~
Amber's reaction was just like the reactions in the dance club I used to go to. This song would be played and all the people would dance with such happiness
Poor Jay seems like he got lost and ended up in a "Ladies' Club" and he's just gobsmacked while Amber is transforming into queen of the dance floor!
You two are the absolute best! 😆💞
Amber was feeling it and it was great
It was big in the men only clubs too ;O)
@@annother3350 Why not just say it? It was a big hit at the gay clubs.
@@larrygrebler5054 It was in the same vein as the OP saying 'ladies club'.
@@annother3350 Sorry, sometimes these things go over this old man's head.
Amber, would LOVE to see you in a club if this song started playing.... you would OWN the dance floor! Your reaction when the chorus first started.... PERFECT!

Probably THE most iconic song in all of the gay nightclubs everywhere. It's also extremely popular for male bulesque shows and male stripper events. Martha Wash is a legend.
I think I will survive is the most iconic but it's close, so I guess it'll be preference
Yes, I will survive was #1 and raining men 2nd. I was there clubbing at straight and gay club friends at all the clubs. Rock/Disco and Gay.
I thought it was Divine's "Native Love"? ruclips.net/video/sNgNgPmpmvY/видео.html
My gay son agrees with you 🌈
@@Cissy777 Who does he agree with Vicki?
I freaking love Amber's reaction. She is having so much fun. That's what music is about. You go girl!!
There is no voice quite like Martha Wash. You've heard her on C+C Music Factory, you've heard her on Black Box. She's had to fight just to get credited for her own vocals because she's not 36-24-36.

Is there a better vocalist on this planet than Martha Wash? Because if there is I'm not sure my heart could take it.
Amber, I have never seen you have so much fun. Loved the song. Amazing.
she was having such a good time!!! it was awesome to see!!
U
Amber, this is how I act every time I hear this…..so happy you got to experience this song 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
This is such a fun song & Ambers reaction was infectious!! I must have been about 10 years old when this came out and me and my little girlfriends used to dance & sing this at the top of our lungs, looking back my poor mom 🤣🤣
It's just kinda sad that Rob missed the whole point of the song, which is to just have fun and boogie to an amazingly catchy song!
I’m 61 years old now. But back when I was in my 20’s this was so much fun to dance to in the 80’s. The 80’s had great music!
This song would jam the dance floor for sure.
61 here too, hitting the Disco was such an experience. So many great tunes. Rob and Amber are driving the bus down my memory lane.
65 myself and I remember hitting the clubs with this playing.
80's music is where it's at
I loved the music diversity in the 80s music charts. There were so many "out there' great songs..
I'm absolutely rolling in the floor at J's reaction to A's reaction of having so much fun with it. That's exactly what the song was meant for, women to have fun!!!
Amber: 😁🥰💃💃
Jay: 😳😳😳
@Catholic Firefighter eww
Me too it's raining men amen
Correction, it's meant for EVERYONE to have fun.
❤😁❤
Fun fact: The songwriters Paul Jabara and Paul Shaffer originally wrote this for Donna Summer, but she turned it down. Then they offered it to Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand and Cher, who all turned it down. I'm glad they did because The Weather Girls OWN this song!
Paul Jabara wrote so many great songs,
Amber, you have NEVER made me laugh harder than you did in this reaction video. Oh. My. Dog. You were *feeling* this song, girl! Love it!!!
Martha Wash the lead vocalist is a powerhouse!
She did work with C+C Music Factory, Black Box. Unfortunately she wasn't in those videos because of her size and there were "smaller" used to lip sync her part.
She can SANG!
Yep , C + C caught some backlash for that. Enough people knew Martha Wash's voice , and knew what was up.
Shout out for Martha Wash!!!!! The biggest voice I have ever been next too! She is freakin awesome!
@@adgato75 So did Black Box.
I'm in Australia and remember hearing this when the song came out .Paul S wrote it because they always got replaced in other bands Videos by thinner females.I was in my 20s and I didn't really care how they looked.
Her career would be totally different in today's climate. Look at Lizzo. Her size hasn't hurt her career. A welcome change.
Amber’s reaction makes my gay heart so happy! The Weather Girls was so impactful to plus size women. And it was an anthem for the LGBT community! I’m so happy that you did this!
Love her so much! "Woman" emblazoned across her chest :) All of their gay followers were on their feet when this came on.
Back in the 80's this song was huge in gay dance clubs. It was also in the movies Bridget Jones's Diary, Magic Mike, Scary Movie, Easy Money and Vampires Suck as well as an episode of Friends.
@@carlaharrington5120 🤣
@@carlaharrington5120 chippendales lol
Yup... Big guy club song back in the 80's. Brings back super fun memories. 😄
Gay not guy
In Living Color used it as the theme for their 'Men on...' series.
Put this on in any nightclub and every generation will get on the dance floor- it’s that iconic!!!! 😂
This is Exactly Why I ❤ watching you guys! Amber’s reaction & literally dancing out of her seat…Priceless!!! Love watching Y’all! ♥️♥️

@catholicfirefighter
I'll bet women sure can relate to this song! Maybe they wouldn't be surprised it was written by a gay man.
I found it really surprising to hear it was written by men. Okay, written by a gay man makes sense now. Thanks for the info.@@TooSkinnyKenny

Big smile on my face watching Amber just rocking it, you go Girl!
C+C music factory is where you heard her voice before. Ms. Martha Wash sang female lead on their first album, without getting the credit for it.
"Everybody Dance Now!" .... That was her .... Not the Girl Lip Syncing !
Also the Black Box album, Everybody Everybody, I Don't Know Anybody Else, Strike It Up, Ride on Time, etc.
Ask any DJ from the 80s: if the energy drops and you want the girls on the dance floor, this is the song! Totally campy, totally 80s !
And the outfits that the women in the office were wearing! So completely 80's. I dressed in similar clothes at this time, and I sometimes wore my hair in a side ponytail, just above the ear, and held with a scrunchie. I remember going to a small live music venue that my friends and I frequented. I was wearing a pink tee-shirt dress, matching pink fishnets, and pink high heels. God that was a fun night, lol!

This song was HUGE when it came out. People didn't know what was going on, but everyone had a smile and jumped out of their seats to dance!
We would flood the dance floor when this song came on! SOOOOOOOO much fun!!
You guys are the cutest couple EVER. "you feeling this raining men a little too hard." I fucking LOVE you guys.. You are people I'd be friends with in real life.. love your energy and humor.
Amber sure as heck _was_ feeling it, I bet her seat was, too! 😂
Martha Wash, one if my favorite singers! One half of The Weather Girls , went on to have unique and controversial singing career in the 90’s(look it up!) , so underrated! The other Weather Girl is the late Izora Arnstead . The was a hit in the 70’s disco era..
It was a hit in the 80s, not the 70s.
mine as well !!
Thanks for bringing back memories of my disco days, when my friends and I would dance all night!
Oh my! I was smiling ear-to-ear during this whole reaction. Dang, girl, you were in it!
You go Amber. I can see that you love this. 😊👍
Rob will get to reap the rewards of this song later on. Perhaps some Afternoon Delight and In The Still Of The Night both.
@@ckobo84 Don't be smutty.
"Where did you hear it's raining men?" 😂😂😂
Over the year it's played in many places and movies, but back in the day mainly in gay clubs and anywhere there's male exotic dancers like the old "Chippendale's" clubs from the 1970s & 80s.😂😂
This song can still be heard on many clubs around the world!!!
a must have !!! so cool seeing you listening to this anthem for the first time, greetings from France
This was a major disco dance song of the 1980's. The ladies loved it.
The Weather Girls were known as Two Tons of Fun when the sang backup for Sylvester. You gotta play Sylvester!
I love it when the music sweeps up Amber and she takes off flying. !! It's what Music is supposed to do, lift you, elevate you, make you feel like you're flying. Fly Robin Fly !!!!
FINALLY!!! I must have recommended this song at least 20 times. I cannot wait to see both of your reactions. This is without a doubt one of the best low budget, total awesome videos from the 80's. It always made me laugh. These women can belt
You guys reaction was everything! Jordan was not understanding why this is an actual song! 🤣🤣 Amber was truly here for it! 😆😆
I've watched this reaction a dozen times... and shared with it my wife and a few others..... such unadulterated joy in your response..... we danced like crazy to this one back in the day.... and even every once in a while now..
and Jay that's a lot positive reaction on Amber's part.... enjoy that...
Paul Schaffer (yes, from David letterman) co-wrote this song.
Wow
That reaction was PRICELESS! You made my day. When we were at the club, very woman in the joint would stop what they were doing and run onto the dance floor!! 🤣🤣🤣
I LOVE Amber's reaction to this! I haven't laughed so hard in a while - I enjoyed it that much!
Random memory...in the mid-80's in middle school (7th or 8th grade, Catholic school), our PE teacher had us doing aerobics, which I'm sure was hilarious. :-) This was one of the songs I remember being played during the aerobics sessions. I'd heard it before, and I was pretty surprised that she was playing it in class. but it's a great workout song!
oh how fun! My PE teacher in 70 played Crackling Rosie for our aerobic warm up. Fun memories
@catholicfirefighter it’s just a fun memory. There’s NO reason to make it into something political. 😒
@catholicfirefighter I guess I thought your signature was part of your reply - my apologies for the confusion. But my original comment wasn’t intended at all to convey anything about natural law, god, or science. It was just me wanting to share a memory related to the song. 😊
Martha Wash and Izora Armstead were the original Two Tons of Fun, the backup singers for Sylvester. They went on to record as The Weather Girls. Martha Wash continues to perform as the lead vocalist for groups like C&C Music Factory, Black Box (Everybody, Everybody), and others. She is AMAZING as a soloist!
As big as this hit was in mainstream charts, this became MASSIVE in the gay scene. It was the ultimate ANTHEM in gay clubs
The songs you two have never heard of baffles me.
Huge club hit loved Amber's reaction and Rob's shock. Unfortunately one of the ladies died but their daughters took over the mantel. They were brilliant talented singers obviously brought up in the gospel church with voices like that. They were the support singers of a singer called Sylvester who died young of Aids. He was a power house of a singer check some of his hits, huge in the clubs in the 80s.
The BIRDCAGE…movie starring Nathan Lane and Robin Williams. That’s probably where you heard it.
I can remember singing, dancing with ever girl in the club/ pub knowing all the words and having the best time EVER!,!!!
I can't believe that three years ago was the first time you saw the most iconic song in history. One of my favorite one hit wonders. I grew up with that song since it's from the 80s and I'm from the 80s. That was a nice video and glad you got to experience that.
It's impossible to not hear this song and think of "Men on Film"!
Oh My God! Amber, you absolutely made my heart happy with your reaction! An all-time favorite! Peace and Love, my RSR family!
These gals were originally known as "Two Tons of Fun" - fantastic singers, great dance tune!
OMG I’m laughing so much I’m crying 😂😂 your reactions are priceless
I keep coming back to this video, its so much fun. Watching you two react is hilarious. Jay you are such a good sport
A & J, this was your best reaction ever! LOL! Jay has times he has his hands in his face and Amber's absolutely digging it! Great song choice and thanks for this reaction.
Hallelujah I need a thunderstorm of men . Magic Mike song . God bless Mother nature.
Great disco song which was play in clubs in the 80's
Absolutely one of the MOST POPULAR club song ever in my time!! SO HAPPY to have such fun and good music!! Ladies night...It's Raining Men!!
OMG Jay didn't know where to look while Amber was like get me a night out with these ladies. Laughed out loud
Yas Qween! Finally! Amber, you were getting your Best Life with this one! LOL!
This song and video are awesome. Your reaction to them both is just as awesome. 🤣😂🤙🔥
Amber I can see your blushes rising lol. Love this song always have, great beat great singers too. Your reaction lol definitely made me smile.😁❤️
This song is an anthem. The buildup, the crescendo, and they are not signing...they are sang'in!
The side eyes from Jay to Amber at how much she's feeling this song got me DYINNNNNN!! LMFAOOOOOO. Amber's recognition is right up there w/ his reaction to hers lolollllll
From what I understand, the women who are singing the song have been backup singers for many different artists over the years. But their image did not play up to the image that radio records thought a singer should be with their voices. So sad that they’re beautiful voices they never got credit for.
What are you talking about? This was a giant hit - nobody cared about their size
@@annother3350 They had singing careers past the weather girls. They sang back up for many different bands, and our featured on many different albums except many of them are not credited. There were rumors going around that it was their size and that was why they were never credited. Where this song is amazing, and people love it, they really are one hit wonders as their other hits that they were actually credited for really never made it in the United States. This is not the first time size mattered when it came to singing careers.
@@livinglegallyblind713 no way, martha wash was highly rated in the house music/dance community
Another fun get-up-&-get-moving song - Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch's "Good Vibrations" - the live version from their Arsenio Hall Show appearance is awesome.
Oh my GOODNESS!!!! This reaction is so great I'm commenting twice! This is by far the BEST EVER REACTION ON RUclips!! The most fun, animated, happiest!!! And Jay-Z I do believe you're blushing as well!!🤣 I've never done this before- but I'm gonna have to rewatch this reaction just cuza you guys!!😄👍❣️
~ I 💟 The 80's! ~
I have watched this SOOOOO many times!!! I cannot love this enough! 😀
Amber's reaction was just like the reactions in the dance club I used to go to. This song would be played and all the people would dance with such happiness
