This was the only commercial hit by 4 NON BLONDES but the lead singer Linda Perry has gone on to write and produce many great songs for other artists. She wrote BEAUTIFUL by Christina Aguilera ( which you should respond to). She's written and worked with the likes of Dolly Parton, Pink, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, and many others.
@@josephigillis She has 2 solo albums 1st "In Flight" is dark and 2nd "After Hours" is more upbeat. She also did a thing called Deep Dark Robot where she explores her gayness.
A little info on the lead singer, 4 non blondes, Linda Perry....she has a huge long non ending list of writing songs for many, many big artists, your Adele for one....look her up, a list that will surprise you.....I love love this song for many years....thank you for reacting to a great song..
Linda Perry is switching very smoothly between chest and head voice. Keeping her jaw dropped for beautiful vowels and LOTS of good air control to support everything. The breaks, frays, the the knowledge where to add grit gives her voice a very unique style.
I concur with you 100%. I feel 8/10 singer’s are so worried about their facial expressions that causes not to reach their full potential of their given talent. Singers like Linda Perry and Sinaed O’Conner and few others don’t care how they look when they’re adding their own corky, amazing unique sounds that’s not heard to often from most artists.
80s: Scandal "Goodbye to You", 10,000 Maniacs "Trouble Me" 90s: Alannah Myles "Black Velvet", The Cardigans "Lovefool" 00s: P!nk "Get The Party Started", Nina Gordon "Tonight and the Rest of My Life"
Let’s have a taste of The Cranberries with their heart rendering song “Zombie”. Dolores O’Riordan , RIP will reach deep down into your soul. Nothing too soft about this gem of a song.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 😭😭😭💔 I own every CD. This was my eldest daughter's first concert and it was epic. Bury The Hatchet tour and they did every song you ever loved. RIP Dolores 🙏🏻💔😢😢😢
Anything by Melissa Etheridge is good. My fav is "Bring me some water". I did that at karaoke one time and someone brought a glass of water and set it on the stage...LOL
Linda Perry the singer is extremely accomplished..... she’s composed and produced songs for Christine Aguilera, Pink, Gwen Stefani .... she’s in the song writers Hall of Fame. I believe her role in the music industry has been more behind the scenes which I’m sad cause her vocals are great!
Ok, let's be honest here. There are many different reaction channels these days, music, movies and tv shows...some channels are very good and some not so good. I've watched a few of your reactions now and you make me smile, every time. You're my favorite reaction channel, love you both!
This song was a total ANTHEM in the 90’s. I remember jamming in my car with the windows down and this song full blast on the radio. BTW she was married to Sara Gilbert from the Conners for a few years. So sad they broke up.
Please check out Chrissie Hynde, lead singer of the Pretenders. Brass in Pocket is my favorite song but they have many great ones. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll stand by you, middle of the road, back on the chain gang……you won’t be disappointed with any of them.
Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries singing Zombie is beyond phenomenal. It will make you a fan for life. I promise. The RUclips video has over 1 billion views.
@@GradyBroyles absolutely. RUclips has the entire 1999 live in Paris concert. Some of my favorites include You and Me, Salvation, Odd to my Family, Linger, Dreams, When You're Gone, Star, and Promises.
My brother died in 1993 as I was driving home from his funeral and this song came on. I pulled over and cried like a baby. It was years before I could listen to this song again.
Zombie gets my vote too. I also like Promises, Linger, Dreams, Salvation, When you're Gone, Star, Odd to my Family and You and Me. Dolores was the GOAT, bar none.
The bass player Christa Hillhouse and i were buddies in the 90''s. She was like my big sister. We from San Francisco. (everyone had dreadlock in the 90's in SF, lol, like for real)
@@LordEagle What? No. They're not and never have been communists. They're lesbians who ran a business (the band) together. After 4NB broke up, she *wisely* took her earnings from her platinum selling record and international tour, bought a big house in Texas where she could ride horses and motorcycles and run a business as a non-famous regular person. Decades of the rock star lifestyle isn't for everyone. It was for Linda but not Christa. You do know that Linda Perry is pretty fucking rich, right? You may not realize how much stuff Linda's name is on. You should look her up on Wikipedia.
Lita Ford and Ozzy ~ "If I Close My Eyes Forever" Stevie Nicks and Don Henley (Eagles) ~ "Leather and Lace" Kenny Rogers and Dolly Pardon ~ "Islands In The Stream"
Check out The Cranberries song Zombie, it’s about the Irish Troubles. They were an Irish band, lead singer was Dolores O’Riordan who passed away a few years ago.
Agreed. None of the covers I've heard have come close to comparing to the original. Dolores was such an original and the emotion of that song just hits you like a train!
I remember when 4 Non Blondes hit the music circuit. This song was absolutely electric. Linda Perry has such a unique voice and unique vocal range, that as far as I know, no one else anywhere can match it. The changes and amplification in her voice is just chilling. An all girl band, well mostly, and their sound and rhythm match perfectly. Define toy one of my favorites, even still today.
You should check out Melissa Etheredge for Female Fridays. Come to my Window or I'm The Only One are great. She also did a great cover if Piece of My Heart by Janis Joplin at the Grammys some years back
Linda Perry (the lead singer) is a legend! She is an amazing songwriter and has worked with Pink, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys, and more!
This song was the voice of younger Gen-X & Xennials. It totally captures that feeling of disillusionment when you can’t deal with the cognitive dissonance anymore. This song is an ANTHEM. Not to mention, Linda Perry herself was the personification of “nah, I’m gonna do this my own way.” She remains influential to this day.
The 90s was a refreshing time for women because we were shaking off the Pollyanna arm candy role of previous generations. Alanis Morissette allowed anger in You Oughta Know. No Doubt showed frustration with Just A Girl. And 4 Non Blondes raged with What’s Up. Of course, Janis started this vibe in the 60s, so credit to her. Subsequent generations just carry the torch.
Xennials?! Who made that up? 😂 No, I assure you; we did not rock this song in the 90s. We were listening to Jane’s Addiction, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Pixies, Sonic Youth. Not this twaddle.
Oh, so female artists... Okay, in no particular order, Fiona Apple (my personal theme song is by her--Extraordinary Machine), Melissa Etheridge (Bring Me Some Water, though there are pretty much no loser songs of hers on her first 3 or 4 albums), Sarah McLachlan (Possession), Tori Amos (Silent All These Years was her first big hit, though, again, there are so many great tunes of hers to choose from), Cranberries (so many people do "Zombie" by them, but I would direct you to something else, like Linger... Zombie, IMO, is one of their worst songs), Mazzy Star (Fade Into You), Jewel (Who Will Save Your Soul), Sheryl Crow (All I Wanna Do), Natalie Imbruglia (Torn), Lisa Loeb (Stay), and honestly, I could go on for a little while, but that oughta get you started.
This is one of the best singing songs around. I can sing this at the top of my lungs while driving, vacuuming, painting, while in the shower... ANYTIME!
Sinead O'Connor has a unique voice and a variety of genres behind her. I love Troy. Prince wrote her biggest hit Nothing Compares To You. Anything from her first album The Lion and the Cobra is great.
Sinead O'Connor is a perfect reaction for female Friday. Nothing Compares to You is one of my favorites. I remember seeing her perform in the late 80's. Bald head and all, she was beautiful!
Some ‘Alabama Shakes’ would be fantastic for female Friday’s. Brittany Howard, especially live, is awesome. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, live, is right there too.
The Gogo's- We got the beat The Bangles Manic Monday Singers from the 50s, 60s like The The Supremes The Ronettes.- Be my Baby Leslie Gore You don't own me Lulu- Shout Brenda Lee- I'm Sorry or Sweet nothings Jackie De Shannon- When you walk into the room Early Madonna- Crazy for you Cindy Lauper- All thu the night Linda Ronstadt- Long long time The Carpenters- Close to you The Cranberies- Dreams Laura Branigan- Self control
I get chills every time I hear this song and today is no exception. When this came out it was a different time and people in most circles did not take these ladies seriously.
Concrete Blonde - "Joey" would be a great Female Friday look. Also, look into a mostly overlooked 90's band called The Catherine Wheel "Heal" - Live on 120 minutes.
Until this year when Beyoncé won her 28th Grammy the woman who had the lead with 27 Grammy wins and 42 nominations was a woman named Alison Krauss( like house but with kr) she has been labeled bluegrass/ country. I label her as a voice of an angel. One of my favorites is actually a cover she does called when you say nothing at all. Anyone who has not heard her do yourself a solid and listen.
I agree. There's just no other way to describe her voice. I had the good fortune to see her perform at a Les Paul tribute concert about 15 years ago. Stunning!
For your future female Fridays I'll throw out L7, Veruca Salt, Garbage, PJ Harvey, the Cranberries, Patti Smith, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Chrissie Hynde (solo and with the Pretenders), Cibo Matto, Alabama Shakes, Scandal... I could go on and on! So Many great ones to discover! Loving your growing fandom for these amazing women in music!
@@jasonbrosseau1056 Totally great for female Fridays... I agree. And I am not laying down the law at all, I just thought the original should be known first. Also because it's a slightly more aggressive side of Simon & Garfunkel, which Jordan asked about! But yeah, on a different day.
@@salvador754 80s was definitely more varied... New wave, hair and heavy metal, regular rock, pop, rap rock beginning, etc. But for me the alternative rock of the 90s was the best... It brought together all the freaks and outcasts who didn't have a home. I remember my freshman year of high school i sat with all the preps and jocks i grew up with but hated it. First day of sophomore year I went to the "freaks" table at lunch... The longhairs/rockers/art nerds, etc and timidly asked if I could sit... I was coming from the popular table but was wearing an indie rock band shirt of some kind. They welcomed me without question and I had found my group.
@@BobbyGeneric145 JP ever say their time my argument this in in L@ Michael Jackson have concertr,I Guns and Roses,Metallica,fly upstate cause Duran Duran George Michael every genre I n their prime thendont get wrong I kept going the Seattle sound Nirvana etc in the 90s not bad at all
The lead singers name is Linda Perry. Unfortunately I believe 4 non blondes was a one hit wonder, but Linda Perry has written songs for many other artists including Pink (Get the Party Started) and Christina Aguilera (Beautiful).
i had the bigger better faster more album and i said from day one why is whats up the only hit on this album? theres some really really good songs on there. dear mr president, pleasantly blue, train, spaceman and drifting are all really good
I haven't heard Meredith Brooks' "Bitch" in forever! Thanks for the reminder; I LOVE that song! Also, Zombie is a definite must to react to, as well! Great suggestions Marina & have a fantastic weekend!
"Celebrity Skin" by Hole (Courtney Loves band), "#1 Crush" by Garbage, "I Miss the Misery" by Halestorm and "Take Me Down" by The Pretty Reckless. All female fronted bands. Peace!
I had to come back and watch it again...I remember everyone singing this all at once at concerts and clubs and just everywhere...its needed now for sure.
Linda Perry is such a unique vocalist and songwriter as well as a producer, having worked with incredible artists like Pink. She's one of a kind for sure.
I love love this song. Her voice is so unique. Great choice. Beth Hart has a very unique voice. It can be gravely and soft and loud and strong. She give her entire self every performance. I just know she's gonna be in your top 10of favorite female singers. She has quite a story too and she covers all genres. She was a winner on one of those singing talent shows. Shell give you chills. Promise.
I don't like the current music at all. I guess because of all the talent that I listened too from the seventies on. I look forward everyday to watching your reactions. You have just touched the tip of the iceberg. Welcome to the great journey you are on
I think you may have had the mental equivalent of cherry picking. There was some terrible music in the 70s onwards. As we get older we do tend to narrow our musical experience. I went from buying three singles a week to...nothing. That had nothing to do with the quality or lack of at the time. I just moved on. If that makes sense. .
I loved the music of the 70's, grew up listening to it but I still listen to a lot of what's going on, maybe not so much mainstream anymore and I love a lot of it. Try Rag'n'bone Man Anywhere else but here (with Pink) or Pink Sweat$ Body ain't you, modern day classics, in my opinion.
I second that motion. As a child born in the 60’s that grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and was a young adult in the 90’s, the music for the most part stopped as far as I’m concerned. Yes there was some stuff still coming out in the 2000’s, but nothing can touch all of the great music that really were the albums to our lives. 😎
What a great song then and just as good for the crazy messed up times we're living in now!!!!! AND I SCREAM FROM THE TOP OF MY LUNGS WHATS GOING ON!!!!!!
Linda Perry (I think that's the singer's name) does have a fantastic voice. It's unique in that she does things nobody else seems to do. And she can put that grit in there and just wail. She really is a great vocalist from the 90s.
I've just spent about 3 hours enjoying you guys enjoying music I love. Awesome. So, since this is usually the last song of the night for the open mic night we used to have years ago at a bar I ran, I think I will stop here for now! Keep up the amazing work.
As a member of said generation, let me assure you that this one hit wonder was NOT the voice of my generation. How’d you like me to call Paul Anka the voice of your generation? Or the Bay City Rollers?
I’ve rewatched this video so many times now. It’s just the best reaction. Was such a massive tune from my youth. The 90’s had the best music. Take me back to the 90’s.
And Kate Schellenbach the drummer is a founding member of the Beastie Boys. Luscious Jackson is produced and was the first band signed to the Beastie Boys label Grand Royale.
Here’s a girl that never gets mentioned, Bjork. I only listened to her when she was in the Sugar Cubes back in the 80’s, but she went on to do a ton of music on her own, just thereafter. I’ll let her fans recommend some of their favorites.
Summer between sophomore and junior years of high school. Man this hits me in the feels! Put Suzanne Vega “ Tom’s Diner” on the list. In this moment “adrenalize”. Hayley Williams / Zedd. “Stay the night “ acoustic version from the iTunes sessions
This was the only commercial hit by 4 NON BLONDES but the lead singer Linda Perry has gone on to write and produce many great songs for other artists. She wrote BEAUTIFUL by Christina Aguilera ( which you should respond to). She's written and worked with the likes of Dolly Parton, Pink, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, and many others.
Couldn't have said it better 👍
That's why I LOVE this channel - I love the backstory. Thanks ! ❤🎵
Yes Christina A. Has an absolute power house of a voice! She should definitely be on the list for female Friday
@@tonyathomas1533 and Pink - I love her as well !
To be fair the reason why it was their only hit was because they only released one album
Dusty Springfield - Son Of A Preacher Man ....future female Friday please....
Joss Stone's version is fire also~
Or Annie Lennox singing it.
Lesley Gore - You Don’t Own Me
Aretha’s version
Dusty Springfield - "I Don't Want to Hear it Anymore" and "The Look of Love"
It’s a damn shame that Linda Perry didn’t sing more in her career - her ‘balls out’ vocal style is beautiful
damn straight
The solo album she did right after this was unreal
Try her performance of "Beautiful". Linda wrote it, Christina made it famous.
@@josephigillis She has 2 solo albums 1st "In Flight" is dark and 2nd "After Hours" is more upbeat. She also did a thing called Deep Dark Robot where she explores her gayness.
I always thought of her as a Female Steven Tyler!
"She" is Linda Perry...singer, songwriter, producer & just general legend of the music industry!
She wrote most if not all of Pink's "Mizunderstood" album!!!
@@patrickjudd7001 and "beautiful" by Christina Aguilera
I know Linda Perry as a name. but I didn't know it was her.
Well said!!!!!!
She is also married to Darlene from Roseanne and The conners..
The Breeders "Cannonball" always reminds me of "What's Up," if you're interested in something from the same era.
Luscious Jackson❤
Yes, i love the old Mtv.
Funny, I was thinking they should react to The Breeders while I was watching this. The Deal sisters are for real...
Aw yeah, Kim Deal from the Pixies!
Yes!
One of the greatest vocal performances in music history. There's zero confusion as to what's going on... it's Four Non-Blondes, and NO ONE else.
Totally agree with you. What a range she has.
The band : The Cranberries, the song: Zombie. this is definitely a must for a female Friday!
*Linger*
I suggest their song "Linger" and/or "Dreams."
Oh hell yes! The Cranberries, Zombie. RIP Dolores O'Riordan. A must for female Friday!!
The live video of “Zombie” is a must see!!
There will only ever be one Delores!!! RIP
They did cranberries zombie and guessing RUclips took it down video not their anymore
A little info on the lead singer, 4 non blondes, Linda Perry....she has a huge long non ending list of writing songs for many, many big artists, your Adele for one....look her up, a list that will surprise you.....I love love this song for many years....thank you for reacting to a great song..
also xtina aguilera, pink etc. :)
She’s married to Sara Gilbert, the actress who was in the show Roseann and now does some tv producing
So so many.
@@unndunn1 was, I read somewhere they split up
@@maddie48 that could be, I’m not up to date on that kind of news 😂

@@jesussandoval0527
Not like it
But will Truly Love It
I believe she had classical voice training. You can’t worry about your facial expressions if you really want to sing. It out!
@@rosieazatyan5923 Thanks for that singing insight. 👍🏻. Her exaggerated expressions were throwing me off.
80s: Scandal "Goodbye to You", 10,000 Maniacs "Trouble Me"
90s: Alannah Myles "Black Velvet", The Cardigans "Lovefool"
00s: P!nk "Get The Party Started", Nina Gordon "Tonight and the Rest of My Life"
ooo yeah, they'd really love Black Velvet!
Ooh, and P!nk’s “So what “ and “Beautiful Trauma”.
Wow, so many more fantastic 10,000 maniacs songs too!!! lol
P!nk - God is a DJ
A Female Friday choice I would recommend is Zombie by The Cranberries. A deep song with a lot of meaning and killer vocals.
100% one of the most important songs because of the association with the GFA (Good Friday Agreement)
They did it. YT took it down.
Linda Perry´s voice always reminded me from Heart´s Ann Wilson. She was so underrated, such a great performer
Let’s have a taste of The Cranberries with their heart rendering song “Zombie”. Dolores O’Riordan , RIP will reach deep down into your soul. Nothing too soft about this gem of a song.
I'd prefer Dreams, but either would make for a good reaction.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 😭😭😭💔 I own every CD. This was my eldest daughter's first concert and it was epic. Bury The Hatchet tour and they did every song you ever loved. RIP Dolores 🙏🏻💔😢😢😢
Yeeees! CRANBERRIES! Don’t wait for Friday.
Any song off of No Need To Argue is worth a listen to IMO.
I CONCUR
Please do Melissa Etheridge - I’m the Only One
Massively underrated, absolute powerhouse of a vocalist.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!
Or come to my window. I love that one too.
Anything by Melissa Etheridge is good. My fav is "Bring me some water". I did that at karaoke one time and someone brought a glass of water and set it on the stage...LOL
Melissa is in concert tonight on CMT, I seen her in concert a couple of years ago at RiversideCasinoin RiversideIowa, she's awesome
Best Live
She can turn it on at will: whether it be high notes, gritty notes, or just musically talking. Amazing singer. This is a classic.
Linda Perry the singer is extremely accomplished..... she’s composed and produced songs for Christine Aguilera, Pink, Gwen Stefani .... she’s in the song writers Hall of Fame. I believe her role in the music industry has been more behind the scenes which I’m sad cause her vocals are great!
I agree. She's obviously an amazing music writer and producer, but what a waste that we don't get to hear her fantastic voice.
There is a fun live duet of P!nk and Linda Perry doing What's Up.
ruclips.net/video/QyKnXebSz-s/видео.html
Correct me if I'm wrong but Linda Perry is Sarah Gilberts significant other?
@@Scottracine68 not anymore. They recently split up

Saw them in concert in 93' they were superb!!
It's the anthem to life, period, regardless what decade you're in.
You are my very favorite reaction team!!! I have totally quit watching other reactors ❤
We had a lot of fun.
@Andie Dufresne , yes, a few years ago. It made me sad. I hate breakups, where abuse isn't involved.
Please check out Chrissie Hynde, lead singer of the Pretenders. Brass in Pocket is my favorite song but they have many great ones. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll stand by you, middle of the road, back on the chain gang……you won’t be disappointed with any of them.
Tattoed love boys
What about "My City was Gone"?
Every song on their first album... and then all the others.
Also excellent on Back on the Chain Gang, Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Human, and Baby's Breath.
Def a favorite

The cranberries zombie, Dolores o'riordan had a unique voice
You are so right on.
Another vote for Zombie!
My favorite of her songs is "God Be With You (Ireland)" fro the movie, "The Devil's Own".
Have they done it already?
Zombie gets my vote too. I also like Promises, Linger, Dreams, Salvation, When you're Gone, Star, Odd to my Family and You and Me. Dolores was the GOAT, bar none.

Don’t forget Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac singing “Rhiannon” live at the Midnite Special 1977. She goes off the chain
One of the greatest rock performances ever caught on video!
This is what I was going to suggest, Stevie gives everything she has to that performance!
Apparently it's the 1976 Midnite Special :D Thanks however.
YES
This!
An ABSOLUTE timeless song. It fits perfectly to WHATS GOING ON today!! I pray for it every night.
Try some Alanis Morrisette for a female Friday, anything off of the Jagged Little Pill album
Yes! Love this girl. :)
Linda Perry (the lead singer) is a legend! She is an amazing songwriter and has worked with Pink, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys, and more!

For Female Friday:
"Ode to Billie Joe" by Bobbie Gentry
“Tell Mama” by Etta James
Not heard this song for so long! Goosebumps, what a song!
This is one of the best singing songs around. I can sing this at the top of my lungs while driving, vacuuming, painting, while in the shower... ANYTIME!
Sinead O'Connor has a unique voice and a variety of genres behind her. I love Troy. Prince wrote her biggest hit Nothing Compares To You. Anything from her first album The Lion and the Cobra is great.
Troy live at the Pinkpop Festival is AMAZING!
It’s hard to find online, but Sinead did a cover of Elton John’s song “Sacrifice.” It was on a tribute album to Elton. It will give you chills.
Sinead O'Connor is a perfect reaction for female Friday. Nothing Compares to You is one of my favorites. I remember seeing her perform in the late 80's. Bald head and all, she was beautiful!
I think this is one of the greatest songs of all time. The message. The vocal. The power. Awesome.
You need to hear Dolores O'Riordan from the Cranberries. Such a unique voice.
Linger ...
Ode to My Family
Now check out Concrete Blonde with a song called Joey.If you want to talk about voices, you'll want to hear this one
I LOVE that song so much! I named my dog Joey ❤️😂
👍
OMG yes. Joey is one of the most memorable and gut-wrenching songs of the 90s. A must listen.
yes! and Heal It Up, to show off her voice! or Mexican Moon, so many great songs!! best voice. Great bass player.
@@user-or1ye3iz6d That's awesome.Being a huge Pink Floyd fan,I named my dogs Gilmour and Vera Lynn
Incredible song. Incredible voice !
Some ‘Alabama Shakes’ would be fantastic for female Friday’s. Brittany Howard, especially live, is awesome. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, live, is right there too.
The Gogo's- We got the beat
The Bangles Manic Monday
Singers from the 50s, 60s like The The Supremes
The Ronettes.- Be my Baby
Leslie Gore You don't own me
Lulu- Shout
Brenda Lee- I'm Sorry or Sweet nothings
Jackie De Shannon- When you walk into the room
Early Madonna- Crazy for you
Cindy Lauper- All thu the night
Linda Ronstadt- Long long time
The Carpenters- Close to you
The Cranberies- Dreams
Laura Branigan- Self control
One of the most memorable vocal performances in music history. Stunning.
This song always gives me goosebumps. It’s sweet, strong, and makes me want to get up and live my life.
Kim Carnes ...Betty Davis Eyes
Cyndi Lauper....True Colors and Time After Time
I get chills every time I hear this song and today is no exception. When this came out it was a different time and people in most circles did not take these ladies seriously.
Concrete Blonde - "Joey" would be a great Female Friday look. Also, look into a mostly overlooked 90's band called The Catherine Wheel "Heal" - Live on 120 minutes.
Amen on Concrete blonde!!!!! Joey is their best.
Catherine Wheel was a male band iirc... Their singer was the brother or nephew of Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)...
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this song 🎵 ❤
Hell yeah. Or Bloodletting. Also, nice necro on the Catherine Wheel. Loved them when I was a drunk 20-something... off to spotify I guess :)
Until this year when Beyoncé won her 28th Grammy the woman who had the lead with 27 Grammy wins and 42 nominations was a woman named Alison Krauss( like house but with kr) she has been labeled bluegrass/ country. I label her as a voice of an angel. One of my favorites is actually a cover she does called when you say nothing at all. Anyone who has not heard her do yourself a solid and listen.
She did a lot of the songs on the soundtrack for "O Brother, Where Art Thou." Beautiful voice.
I agree. There's just no other way to describe her voice. I had the good fortune to see her perform at a Les Paul tribute concert about 15 years ago. Stunning!
Hope she received some kind of award for this song . Everything about it is awesome. Her voice, the music and the song's meaning.
For your future female Fridays I'll throw out L7, Veruca Salt, Garbage, PJ Harvey, the Cranberries, Patti Smith, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Chrissie Hynde (solo and with the Pretenders), Cibo Matto, Alabama Shakes, Scandal... I could go on and on! So Many great ones to discover! Loving your growing fandom for these amazing women in music!
I absolutely love the Alabama Shakes.
Veruca salt and garbage
Oh yea, Veruca Salt's "Volcano Girls"
@@ragabashmoon1551 seether by veruca salt
@@aimeerisch4059 Oh yea that's another amazing choice.
“Heaven is a Place on Earth” by Belinda Carlisle for female fridays would be great i think. Happy Female Friday!!!!
Yes - was a huge fan when she was with the Go-Go's as well !
Yes!!
I’m 11 years old when this dropped. I loved this album! 31 years later and it’s still giving me goosebumps!
Fade in to You - Mazzy Star
Across the Universe - Fiona Apple (Beatles cover)
I'll Stand By You - The Pretenders
Because the Night - Patti Smith
Great list you could add K's choice " not an addict " to the list also.
Try Sinead O’Conner’s version of Nothing Compares 2 U. There will be tears flowing.
I adore you two, your joy is so infectious and lifts me. Thank you 😊
It's time for Linda Ronstadt, "Blue Bayou" is a good start. She is amazing.
Good call! Then the Dolly/ Linda / Emmylou trio!
I agree. I like singing karaoke to her songs
This is Linda Perry
Her and Aaron Neville
A great friggin' song!!I only wish they did more. But her vocals here are just INCREDIBLE.
This is one of the best one hit wonders ever written in my humble opinion. Hits hard.
The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter and as others have already said Cranberries - Zombie and definitely more Beasties!
bangle swalk like an egytian too
I like the Bangles, but if you're gonna do "Hazy Shade of Winter", I'd recomment the original Simon & Garfunkel first.
@@wagstaff6135 Well I thinking it for Female Fridays but agree that both versions are great.
@@LauPulstar Another great choice too. Nothing better than fun 80's music to make you forget about the issues of today.
@@jasonbrosseau1056 Totally great for female Fridays... I agree. And I am not laying down the law at all, I just thought the original should be known first. Also because it's a slightly more aggressive side of Simon & Garfunkel, which Jordan asked about! But yeah, on a different day.
This whole album is solid. Keep digging. ALSO; Hole - "Violet"
Yep, they gonna need to take a deep breath to explore Hole, but it's a must.
Great song!
I was blessed to grow up in this era. Rock peaked in the 90s.
I dont agree with peaked in 90sto it was 80s when it dominated even rappers mixed in rock but great rock did faded after 90s for sure
@@salvador754 80s was definitely more varied... New wave, hair and heavy metal, regular rock, pop, rap rock beginning, etc. But for me the alternative rock of the 90s was the best... It brought together all the freaks and outcasts who didn't have a home. I remember my freshman year of high school i sat with all the preps and jocks i grew up with but hated it. First day of sophomore year I went to the "freaks" table at lunch... The longhairs/rockers/art nerds, etc and timidly asked if I could sit... I was coming from the popular table but was wearing an indie rock band shirt of some kind. They welcomed me without question and I had found my group.
@@BobbyGeneric145 JP ever say their time my argument this in in L@ Michael Jackson have concertr,I Guns and Roses,Metallica,fly upstate cause Duran Duran George Michael every genre I n their prime thendont get wrong I kept going the Seattle sound Nirvana etc in the 90s not bad at all
Maybe. There is great rock music coming out of Australia these days.
@@chetsenior7253 I was in military went to 6 hrs awayCanada to hear u heard of Midnight Oil great concert
Rec from the same era: "Just a Girl" - No Doubt. Would be perfect for Female Friday
I second this!! ❤❤💯
The lead singers name is Linda Perry. Unfortunately I believe 4 non blondes was a one hit wonder, but Linda Perry has written songs for many other artists including Pink (Get the Party Started) and Christina Aguilera (Beautiful).
She wrote a song for Adele too - it's on Adele 25.
They had a couple of hits. But Linda broke up the band to go solo after only 1 record. :(
I’ve heard pink remake this song WOW
i had the bigger better faster more album and i said from day one why is whats up the only hit on this album? theres some really really good songs on there. dear mr president, pleasantly blue, train, spaceman and drifting are all really good
She also wrote a song for Alicia Keys and Courtney love and was inducted into the songwriters HOF but still its a shame because her voice is amazing
Another iconic voice and only one hit. Great song, great voice.
Cranberries "Zombie" & Meredith Brooks "B.I.T.C.H" would be great songs for Female Friday.
I haven't heard Meredith Brooks' "Bitch" in forever! Thanks for the reminder; I LOVE that song! Also, Zombie is a definite must to react to, as well! Great suggestions Marina & have a fantastic weekend!
Bitch is a great choice.
Lmao yes I was thinking those songs too
Don't forget Alanis Morissette "you outta know"
Oh wow...remember her...Meredith Brooks...😎😎😎
"Celebrity Skin" by Hole (Courtney Loves band), "#1 Crush" by Garbage, "I Miss the Misery" by Halestorm and "Take Me Down" by The Pretty Reckless.
All female fronted bands.
Peace!
I had to come back and watch it again...I remember everyone singing this all at once at concerts and clubs and just everywhere...its needed now for sure.
You want something REALLY different, try Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush!
Yes!!! I absolutely love that song and the movie lol
I knew you'd like the song and her voice but, guys, you gotta check out Delores voice and the song Zombies by the Cranberries....it is so powerful!
Linda Perry is such a unique vocalist and songwriter as well as a producer, having worked with incredible artists like Pink. She's one of a kind for sure.
Great female rockers- Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, Ann Wilson, Stevie Nicks, Annie Lennox
I love love this song. Her voice is so unique. Great choice. Beth Hart has a very unique voice. It can be gravely and soft and loud and strong. She give her entire self every performance. I just know she's gonna be in your top 10of favorite female singers. She has quite a story too and she covers all genres. She was a winner on one of those singing talent shows. Shell give you chills. Promise.
If you want something kinda unique, try Shakespeare’s Sister “Stay”. Make sure you listen all the way through, it’s starts slow...
Absolutely! That song is equally awesome/unique and the video is great.
Stay yes definitely then I don’t care. Both Shakespeare sister
Fantastic song
No
I don't like the current music at all. I guess because of all the talent that I listened too from the seventies on. I look forward everyday to watching your reactions. You have just touched the tip of the iceberg. Welcome to the great journey you are on
I think you may have had the mental equivalent of cherry picking. There was some terrible music in the 70s onwards. As we get older we do tend to narrow our musical experience. I went from buying three singles a week to...nothing. That had nothing to do with the quality or lack of at the time. I just moved on. If that makes sense. .
I loved the music of the 70's, grew up listening to it but I still listen to a lot of what's going on, maybe not so much mainstream anymore and I love a lot of it. Try Rag'n'bone Man Anywhere else but here (with Pink) or Pink Sweat$ Body ain't you, modern day classics, in my opinion.
I second that motion.
As a child born in the 60’s that grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and was a young adult in the 90’s, the music for the most part stopped as far as I’m concerned. Yes there was some stuff still coming out in the 2000’s, but nothing can touch all of the great music that really were the albums to our lives. 😎
The lyrics are legendary. I mean really "what's going on" especially now like wtf
What a great song then and just as good for the crazy messed up times we're living in now!!!!!
AND I SCREAM FROM THE TOP OF MY LUNGS WHATS GOING ON!!!!!!
Have you listened to Post Modern Jukebox with Hailey Reinhart doing a cover of Creep? She absolutely has a unique voice. Super, super talented.
YES!!!!!!!!
Never really understood why they did not have other hits. This song was big…her voice is so unique…great band too.
Listen to Linda Ronstadt, the first female superstar in the 70s. Kind of forgotten despite all her hours and success.
This one is in my all time top 5 songs. Just fantastic!
Absolute powerhouse vocals
Great reaction - love this song. Another suggestion- Melissa Ethridge “I’m the Only One” or “Come to My Window”
This song came out when I was a sophomore in high school and I didn’t like it. But now it’s one of my fave 90s songs. So fun to sing as well.
Same for me!
Linda Perry (I think that's the singer's name) does have a fantastic voice. It's unique in that she does things nobody else seems to do. And she can put that grit in there and just wail. She really is a great vocalist from the 90s.
I was born 90,s music
I've just spent about 3 hours enjoying you guys enjoying music I love. Awesome. So, since this is usually the last song of the night for the open mic night we used to have years ago at a bar I ran, I think I will stop here for now! Keep up the amazing work.
"Criminal" by Fiona Apple for a future Female Fridays would be nice.
Legit brings tears to my eyes when people discover older music and appreciate it as much as you guys. Cheers.
These notes are so hard to hit at the pitches she's hitting...insane
As a 70 year old rocker, I LOVE this group's sound,,,and Linda Perry has my vote for singer of her generation no doubt
As a member of said generation, let me assure you that this one hit wonder was NOT the voice of my generation. How’d you like me to call Paul Anka the voice of your generation? Or the Bay City Rollers?
I’ve rewatched this video so many times now. It’s just the best reaction. Was such a massive tune from my youth. The 90’s had the best music. Take me back to the 90’s.
Luscious Jackson "Naked Eye" is another great song for female friday
💯🔥 J would flip his shit!🤣
Awesome band and song! 🔥
And Kate Schellenbach the drummer is a founding member of the Beastie Boys. Luscious Jackson is produced and was the first band signed to the Beastie Boys label Grand Royale.
Here’s a girl that never gets mentioned, Bjork.
I only listened to her when she was in the Sugar Cubes back in the 80’s, but she went on to do a ton of music on her own, just thereafter.
I’ll let her fans recommend some of their favorites.
Army of Me would be a good one for sure
@@justjesse821 Hunter and All is full of love are my personal favorites.
Big Time Sensuality, Human Behaviour.
From Bjork, Army of Me
Björk Guðmundsdóttir - “It’s Oh So Quiet”
The first time I heard this track it blew me away and still does every time I hear it 👍❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Yes you've got to check out the Cranberries song Zombie. Amazing vocals. Will floor you trust me👍👍👍👍👍
Summer between sophomore and junior years of high school. Man this hits me in the feels! Put Suzanne Vega “ Tom’s Diner” on the list. In this moment “adrenalize”. Hayley Williams / Zedd. “Stay the night “ acoustic version from the iTunes sessions
Yeah Tom’s Diner for sure. That song would throw you for a loop in a good way.
@@fuzzybunniez8624 Toms Diner been sampled several times for other songs... great song
yes suzanne vega!
