@@elizabethtrask3790 yup n in every bonfire or a friendly get-together from my school day's (from the day of it's release😂) till date even now yup i don't give up trying to perfectly sing like Linda yup till i die😭
Imagine 15 guys working on a construction job site doing drywall, carpentry, etc... This song comes on the radio and now a CHOIR of backing vocals kick in---with MANY singing lead!!! The mood was INSTANTLY better...almost heavenly. That's the power of GREAT music, rarely seen today. I'm old now, but this takes me back to a MUCH better time. Great reaction, young man...
@@CoboProdz 13 years old and on RUclips for 17 years? Daaang, Coco!!! That's some TIME BENDING there, son!!! And "worst song of all time"? Really? Maybe you should check the viewership history. Maybe even compare it to some of your favorites. You'll be surprised. And lose the insulting rhetoric, it's not "kewl"... Someone might also think someone's lying about their name, age, or both. What do you think, Cohen? Or, Cohen's dad? Someone might be forced to log on under a family members name, because they got banned. Thoughts?
@@CoboProdz Interesting how you choose to interject your beliefs--AGAIN, into the words or actions of others. I'm pretty sure there's a diagnosable (and probably _treatable_ ) condition there. Get help, man. It's REALLY not the "good look" you think it to be... Still don't want to address the deceitful, misleading, and otherwise BOLD FACED LIES, shown on _your_ channel description? Seriously, THIS issue--along with your reply "method", are probably doing more harm than good for "your" subscriber base, or whose channel you're using. Being REAL is usually a good start... Good luck
I had an ex girlfriend drag me unwillingly to a Tracy Chapman concert back in the late 1990s. I changed my attitude real quick. One of the best shows I've seen. Absolutely loved it.
Tracy Chapman, her whole first album was all I listened to for months. It didn't get radio play but was on music channels. Now Country Star Luke Combs made it a hit.
@@stillmeadowfarm, Luke Combs is a fraud. He used country rap independent star Ryan Upchurch to get where he is. Luke doesn't talk about it, but his first platinum record was because Upchurch was on the song. Sony called both Luke and Upchurch at the same time. Upchurch turned them down. Then, Sony threatened to sue Upchurch to have him remove Luke's name from the song. Now, all Luke's songs are done by ghostwriters. Without Upchurch, Luke would still be living on ramen.
She is, by far, one of my favorite vocalists, too... just a shame she never got in the spotlight she deserves. Being a female alto, she had to train the heck out of her voice to reach those high notes, has a unique sound doing it, all because her natural voice is nearly as deep as a male baritone.... very rare voice for a woman.
As a lesbian growing up in the 90's 4 non blondes were my heroes, and this song was my anthem. An openly lesbian band who made no apologies and gave zero F$cks in a time that was not nearly as accepting as now. Excellent musicians and legends.
Duuuuuuude! What a time of music for real. I'm straight but still, so many of the best in the world were gay icons back then. And their fans made sure to let the world know we only cared about the music, nothing else. I remember when the news broke that George Michael was gay and though I knew it... I was still so bummed 😭. He is so delicious! Still! That's why when I saw Ricki Martins sexy ass back then, I knew better than to think I had a shot! 😂😂😂 This song will live of forever though and I wish we could go back because music today sucks by in large. (my opinion of course) 🖖
love that song!! Joey.. I bought it through ITUNES years ago and for some reason it was removed from Itunes and just like that I no longer owned it.. But what a great song!!
Concrete Blonde is great. A band I was in a long long time ago now used to cover their song Mexican Moon. We were a thrash/death metal band similar to early Sepultura. We didn't cover that song in that style. Whole reason we picked that song is that it was the only song the entire band could agree that we all wish we had been the ones to write and perform it originally.
The singer of this band is Linda Perry. Most people have no idea who Linda Perry is despite the fact that she's probably written every song that has charted for the past few decades
I was playing a gig as a duet at a local bar a few years ago. While we were on a break and my buddy was outside having a smoke, a lady from the crowd came up and asked if I knew this song. The chords are pretty simple, so I started playing them on my guitar. And she stepped up to my buddy's mic and started singing. She had an amazing voice, and I held my own singing the harmonies. From where I was sitting, it sounded fantastic. When we'd finished, the lady gave me a hug and left the bar. If she's reading this... thanks for a random, beautiful, unforgettable moment.
The woodstock 69 version is my favorite. Shes in great voice, even though they came on like 8 hours late after spending all day and night waiting. Woodstock had a lot of problems… stage equipment was giving musicians constant shocks. Traffic was at a standstill for miles. Yet there are amazing performances
I was in this little bar in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA) listening to a random bar band. There I was with the girl I was dating at the time sipping a beer or something trying to chat over the music. The band wasn't bad. But they abruptly finished a song, there was some murmuring, and then they announced that a girl in the audience wanted to play a song if we didn't mind. And then that whatever day in 1992 or 1993, Linda Perry stepped onto the stage, grabbed an acoustic guitar from the band and belted out this song. Just phenomenal. Just wow. She finished, then stepped off the stage into a crowd that had gone completely insane and just hung out the rest of the night and drank and danced to the little bar band. Surreal.
Heh. You should hear about my "drink with" Sigourney Weaver. And I hiked up a mountain with a soap opera star. And my neighbor almost won the North Carolina governorship. And then there was Cybill Shepherd on the AmTrack … I guess if you live long enough, you have these serendipitous moments.
This singer was a massive collaborator with Pink in the early 2000, she's one of the reasons Pink was massive. Some more great women singer/bands Tracy Chapman - Talking about a Revolution Tori Amos - Silent all these Years Alanis Morrisette - You Outta Know Veruca Salt - Seether The Breeders - Cannonball
@@stuBdoc Grace Slick was a superstar. White Rabbit is the best but pretty much anything off Surrealistic Pillow were good. I loved both Airplane & Starship. You should react to Jefferson Starship's Miracles starring Marty Balin. It's an all-time favorite
@@juliepalmer7479 But are you familiar with the very first Jefferson Starship album, Blows Against the Empire? It was really popular in the early 70s but seems to have been forgotten. It was a collaboration of a bunch of musicians, including Grace Slick, Jerry Garcia, Graham Nash, etc., lots of others, with a theme of a bunch of hippies stealing the first starship and bringing peace and love to the Universe. Very dated concept, but created some fabulous music. Later, they decided to rename Jefferson Airplane as Jefferson Starship, then just Starship.
@@juliepalmer7479 The song The Baby Tree is a great lullaby song. I sang it to my kids and grandchild, and have taught it to many other parents. Just voice and clawhammer banjo.
The Pretenders "Middle Of The Road". Chrissie Hynde lead vocals...first hit the scene in the late 70s and is still performing today. Great band. Or check out their live performance from Glastonbury of "Tatooed Love Boys" where they were joined by Johnny Marr and Dave Grohl.
Watching your reaction to her hitting the chorus was Christmas Morning with the grandkids for all us old folks. We knew what was coming, . . . and it is epic. 😉
I've heard this song a number of times, but never knew who sung it. I'm a 72 year old woman. who loves listening to the songs you choose and get so tickled with your reactions. I'm also happy that you're appreciating this music. keep up the great music
You might want to check out the rest of the album. They only had I think two songs with radio play. People might think those were the best two songs, but I love all but one song on the album. I listened to it over and over when it came out. And if you didn't know, the bassist and drummer were both women. Actually, Linda Perry, the singer, also played guitar, so they had two guitars going.
just to name a few songs that linda perry has written. Beautiful - Christina Aguilera Can't Get You Off My Mind - Michael Des Barres Dear Mr. President - 4 Non Blondes Everybody Come Together - Natasha Bedingfield Favorite Year - The Chicks Get The Party Started - Pink Girl In The Movies - Dolly Parton Hands of Love - Miley Cyrus I'm OK - Christina Aguilera Keeps Gettin' Better - Christina Aguilera King of the World - Natasha Bedingfield Letter To God - Hole Lift Me Up - Christina Aguilera My Love - Celine Dion One Word - Kelly Osbourne Roller Skate - Natasha Bedingfield Samantha - Hole The Long Way Around - The Chicks The Thing About Love - Alicia Keys What You Waiting For? - Gwen Stefani What's Up - 4 Non Blondes Wonderful Life - Gwen Stefani
What's UP by 4 for Non Blond came out at the exact moment when I was in despair and on the way to a new life, or so I hoped. I was committed by my parents because I was a serious drug addict and there were no other solutions from May 93 to September 95. The journey was long and this song accompanied me all that time. I still listen to it today. Music is also an excellent remedy for the ills of the soul😊
What a great song to carry as your personal anthem. It evokes so much emotional variety in its sounds. Good days or bad days, this song fits. Congrats on getting clean. ❤
@@1girlnamedsusan Thanks a lot🖤. in fact despair is different for everyone, but always so difficult to live with. music is a support in all circumstances. many artists describe it very well in their songs😉
Annie Lennox has such a pure voice. My favorite song of hers is "walking on broken glass". Also try Linda ronstadt. Her version of "willin'" is killer but all her songs are great.
Siouxsie and the Banshees! Great post punk band from the UK. They have around 11 studio albums from 1978 to 96. Highly influential band to a lot of these alternative/post punk bands. Go down the rabbit hole you won't regret it. A few songs are, Cities in Dust, Spellbound, Cascade, Night Shift, Monitor, Christine, Dazzle, Red Light, Switch, Placebo Effect, 92 degrees, Scarecrow....I can go on! any song of theirs is great in my opinion. Best reaction channel on you tube right now!
If you are looking for female singers; Joan Jett. Her most popular songs, I Love Rock And Roll and Bad Reputation. Janis Joplin. Songs, Summertime, Me And Bobby Mcgee, Mercedes Benz, Piece Of My Heart and Cry Baby. Battle Beast; Songs, Show Me How To Die and Enter The Metal World. The singer on those songs was Nitte Valo. They changed their singer to Noora Louhimo. L have not kept up with them so I can't recommend songs with the new lineup because I don't know.
Fun fact: the lead singer, Linda Perry, later went on to ‘discover’, manage and produce Pink. Female artists…Melissa Etheridge, Paula Cole, Meredith Brooks, Sarah MacLachlan
No, Pink actually kinda stalked Linda (she has said so in interviews) in the beginning. Linda did end up help write and produce some of Pink's songs though. But their relationship is weird.
A classic banger. How can someone not love this song. This is a song that literally everyone loves. Great reaction brotha. One morw thing. Rewind all you want dude. If a song is so good and it takes you somewhere else, rewind it to hear it all over again. I approve.
I sang along with this song ALL the time when it was out. I bet there are still old friends I haven't seen in decades that think of me whenever they hear this song. They said it was my song and I still LOVE IT!! ❤❤❤❤
● Heart - Crazy On You, Little Queen ● Pat Benatar - Love is a Battlefield, Fired Up ● Blondie - Call Me, One Way or Another, Heart of Glass ● Joan Jett - I Hate Myself For Loving You, Bad Reputation Some female legends, and some legendary songs, from back in the day.👍🏼
Everybody says that this is a one hit wonder of the 90s but in my opinion this album Bigger, Better, Faster, More! was a classic n she was a gem of a lyricist n later she changed her profession into lyricist n penned some hits for the greatest Pop queens of late 90s n early n mid 2000s in such as Christina Aguilera, Pink, Nelly Furtado n to some more gr8 artist of the era...
This song is the one song you put on my n the car and scream at the top of your lungs!!!!Dont care how old you are. Everyone loves this song it’s fantastic.
Dude this song fucking rocks😂 wait til you hear Alanis Morissette jagged little pill album, she's got that yodel flipping voice. YOU OUGHTA KNOW, ironic, hand in my pocket. They rock dude😊
I was thinking the same thing when he was listening to it. I know the words by heart, so most often, I just sing along (at the top of my lungs, of course) without even thinking about what the words mean. I really HEARD it again today, and this comment hit the nail on the head!!
I grew up singing this song because it was catchy. now I'm an adult and this is one of my destress songs. I understand why my mom would play it so often lmao
Love the reaction. I heard the song back in the 90s. Didn't realize it was 4 Non Blondes. Other female singers...PINK, Madonna, Cher, Karen Carpenter & Tina Turner, just to name a few.
32 years had passed but still singing it from the TOP OF MY LUNGS! 😁🤘 From the same album, try to react to Dear. Mr. President. Amazing vocals and amazing lyrics. Keep rockin. Peace
Circa 1992 and the fact that I'm having to use the word Circa sucks but anyway, a couple of years out of high school and we would play this song so loud, get us in the mood to get us to the bar. All of us straight dudes but we didn't give a F. We appreciated the talent of this band. Great times.
I was lucky enough to sit and have a drink with them at Rock City in Nottingham after they'd done their sound check, lovely lovely people. Incredible song. 😊
What an amazing reaction 😁 It was great to see your joy on that one. “She probably came out of the womb doing that” 🤣 I need to suggest another amazing female singer: Alanis Morrisette
This is a great song. ❤ Please More Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac - Gypsy and some Christine McVie leads as well - little Lies, Everywhere, Songbird .
Ok ok I have over 100 reactors on my playlist and your traction to this has just shot up to my number 1 favorite reaction!! You got those cartoon hearts popping outta your eyes !! Very entertaining!!! Thank u!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️😁
I was rockin when 4 non came into existence. They blew it out ! These gals were very high on radio play! I still play this band loud. Glad you appreciate these vocals .
America's first all Lesbian rock band. Lead singer, Linda Perry, is in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame. She has written so many hit songs with so many big artists. Super talented. Some of the songs she has written, besides this one, are: Beautiful - Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani - Whatcha' Waiting For, P!nk - Get the Party Started, The Dixie Chicks (The Chicks) - Voice Inside My Head, Alicia Keys - Superwoman, Weezer - Brave New World, Adele Can't Let Go, P!Nk-Halfway Gone... To name a few.. She was married to Sarah Gilbert and they have 2 children together. 🎉
I don't think I ever heard any other songs from this band on the radio. Just this one. But it stayed in the charts forever. Such a good song. Can't help but sing along and annoy my neighbours when I hear this. Cause it feels even better to howl along instead of just listening. So so good.
Those incredible Vocals are Linda Perry, She is not only an awesome vocalist She is an outstanding Song Writer, Writing songs for other Mega Stars like: Christina Aguilera: "Beautiful" and "Candyman" Gwen Stefani: "What You Waiting For?" and "Wonderful Life" Alicia Keys: "Superwoman" Courtney Love: "Letter To God" Kelly Osbourne: "One Word" Celine Dion: "My Love" James Blunt: "No Bravery" Pink: "Get the Party Started" Adele: "Can't Let Go" Just to Name a Few.... MollyBoy, when are you going to dive into the Blues Genre? Beth Hart IS The Reigning QUEEN of the Blues and man Shes a Badass, may I suggest the Song "Am I the One" Live at the Paradisio for a start!
Did anyone ever tell you that you have beautiful teeth? You do. We LOVED this song back in the 1990's! We sang it al the top of our lungs, you better believe it. LOL You're right about the .90's! So you can keep wearing a hat when you want to. In 1993, "What's Up?" cracked the charts globally and peaked at No. 2 in the US, but a year after the band hit it big, 4 Non Blondes broke up. Ironically, the phrase "what's up" doesn't appear in the song's lyrics. Women can see that you like women's voices, and it shows. LOVE THAT about you!
Love this song. One of my partner, Mike's favorites... Linda Perry is a genius song writer for some of the greats. Good shit. (edit - just realized I'm still logged in as MommaOG but it's meeeee WonderMommaOG! lol )
Anytime I see that a reactor is reaching to What’s Up, I just HAVE to watch it because I know it’s gonna blow someone away, as it did you. I believe yours is my favorite reaction ever to this song! When you teased us with “I wanna rewind, I wanna rewind,” I was here yelling “DO IT!!” So glad you did! I really enjoy your reactions!!
This might be my favorite Mollyboy reaction
Totally agree!!! ❤🔥 I had to be kind and rewind many times! 😄🥰
Mine as well!
I agree!!❤
Absolutely 💯 agree 👍!
My favorite for sure 😊
my toxic trait is singing this at the top of my lungs alone in my car and think I sound EXACTLY like the lead singer 😂

Alanis Morisette - You Oughta Know (Official 4K Music Video). Female singer. Alternative rock from 1995.

Always associated heart with "alone" and thought they were more love ballads. When I first saw Crazy on you live... I was OBSESSED
Absolutely, Heart is amazing!

Linda Perry is amazing.
Christina Aguilera sang her song Beautiful
I'm GenX and this was one of our songs.
I'm a Boomer, born 1952 and this was one of my songs! I love this song!😊
And still is!!!!!
Linda Perry is probably the most under-rated talent to come out of the 90's. Besides her amazing voice, she's and incredible songwriter.
When you said “she’s actually got a really good voice” I said out loud “you ain’t seen nothing yet”!! Yeah, a magnificent voice!
Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane 1960's. Another amazng voice. Get concert footage if you can of 'White Rabbit'.
Yes Please do White Rabbit!

I listened to it over and over when it came out. And if you didn't know, the bassist and drummer were both women. Actually, Linda Perry, the singer, also played guitar, so they had two guitars going.
just to name a few songs that linda perry has written.
Beautiful - Christina Aguilera
Can't Get You Off My Mind - Michael Des Barres
Dear Mr. President - 4 Non Blondes
Everybody Come Together - Natasha Bedingfield
Favorite Year - The Chicks
Get The Party Started - Pink

I'm OK - Christina Aguilera
Keeps Gettin' Better - Christina Aguilera

I was so blown away by this list i had to go fact check The Chicks ones.... now further blown away by this. Incredible CV she has.
Never ever deny your impulse to rewind. Sometimes ya just gotta. Lol
Exactly 💯
What's UP by 4 for Non Blond came out at the exact moment when I was in despair and on the way to a new life, or so I hoped. I was committed by my parents because I was a serious drug addict and there were no other solutions from May 93 to September 95. The journey was long and this song accompanied me all that time. I still listen to it today. Music is also an excellent remedy for the ills of the soul😊
What a great song to carry as your personal anthem. It evokes so much emotional variety in its sounds. Good days or bad days, this song fits. Congrats on getting clean. ❤
@@1girlnamedsusan Thanks a lot🖤. in fact despair is different for everyone, but always so difficult to live with. music is a support in all circumstances. many artists describe it very well in their songs😉
Your show my brother. Rewind whenever the muse hits you. This old guy enjoys watching your reactions. All the best. Always.
Annie Lennox has such a pure voice. My favorite song of hers is "walking on broken glass". Also try Linda ronstadt. Her version of "willin'" is killer but all her songs are great.
Linda Perry was my 90’s crush! This is one of them songs that people will hear 50 yrs from now and say Wow!! Just a brilliant song!
1st, you did exactly as you should have... the smile, energy, laughter... that's what this song evokes :)
Female singer:
Evanescence - My Immortal
Alanis Morrisette- Uninvited!
Now...Amy Winehouse, "Rehab" ❤❤❤
My least favorite of hers and the only one they ever seem to play on the radio
@@valwhelan3533indeed!!
This song is so iconic
Siouxsie and the Banshees! Great post punk band from the UK. They have around 11 studio albums from 1978 to 96. Highly influential band to a lot of these alternative/post punk bands. Go down the rabbit hole you won't regret it. A few songs are, Cities in Dust, Spellbound, Cascade, Night Shift, Monitor, Christine, Dazzle, Red Light, Switch, Placebo Effect, 92 degrees, Scarecrow....I can go on! any song of theirs is great in my opinion. Best reaction channel on you tube right now!
Drop Dead 🖤🔥🎵
Rhapsody, The Last Beat of my Heart are my favouries. The whole album "Peepshow" is great.
If you are looking for female singers; Joan Jett. Her most popular songs, I Love Rock And Roll and Bad Reputation. Janis Joplin. Songs, Summertime, Me And Bobby Mcgee, Mercedes Benz, Piece Of My Heart and Cry Baby.
Battle Beast; Songs, Show Me How To Die and Enter The Metal World. The singer on those songs was Nitte Valo. They changed their singer to Noora Louhimo. L have not kept up with them so I can't recommend songs with the new lineup because I don't know.
Joan Jett please!!❤
Linda Perry singer songwriter and producer mostly now, shes worked closely with Pink when she first started. VERY talented lady!! 😍
You should check out Alanis Morissette
She rocks
Damn... Yeh!!! 👍
Whoever raised you did real good❤, you are like a well adjusted gen x’er😂
Love how you look directly at us during certain times in the song! Keep it up - really enjoy watching your reactions.
Fun fact: the lead singer, Linda Perry, later went on to ‘discover’, manage and produce Pink.
Female artists…Melissa Etheridge, Paula Cole, Meredith Brooks, Sarah MacLachlan
No, Pink actually kinda stalked Linda (she has said so in interviews) in the beginning. Linda did end up help write and produce some of Pink's songs though. But their relationship is weird.
A classic banger. How can someone not love this song. This is a song that literally everyone loves. Great reaction brotha.
One morw thing. Rewind all you want dude. If a song is so good and it takes you somewhere else, rewind it to hear it all over again. I approve.
I sang along with this song ALL the time when it was out. I bet there are still old friends I haven't seen in decades that think of me whenever they hear this song. They said it was my song and I still LOVE IT!! ❤❤❤❤
This song never gets old. Just enjoy:)
● Heart - Crazy On You, Little Queen
● Pat Benatar - Love is a Battlefield, Fired Up
● Blondie - Call Me, One Way or Another, Heart of Glass
● Joan Jett - I Hate Myself For Loving You, Bad Reputation
Some female legends, and some legendary songs, from back in the day.👍🏼
Everybody says that this is a one hit wonder of the 90s but in my opinion this album Bigger, Better, Faster, More! was a classic n she was a gem of a lyricist n later she changed her profession into lyricist n penned some hits for the greatest Pop queens of late 90s n early n mid 2000s in such as Christina Aguilera, Pink, Nelly Furtado n to some more gr8 artist of the era...
Yeah calling Linda Perry a one hit wonder is crazy. One hit per year for the past 30 maybe lololol
Totally agree with everything you said
This song is the one song you put on my n the car and scream at the top of your lungs!!!!Dont care how old you are. Everyone loves this song it’s fantastic.
Dude this song fucking rocks😂 wait til you hear Alanis Morissette jagged little pill album, she's got that yodel flipping voice. YOU OUGHTA KNOW, ironic, hand in my pocket. They rock dude😊
Try uninvited by her
Thank you for saying that lol because I love that album Alanis is awesome. I'm also a big fan of no doubt's tragic kingdom album
Absolutely fave of mine...great band and fabulous vocals from Linda Perry...🎶🎤
This song and it’s lyrics are more relevant today than ever!!
I was thinking the same thing when he was listening to it. I know the words by heart, so most often, I just sing along (at the top of my lungs, of course) without even thinking about what the words mean. I really HEARD it again today, and this comment hit the nail on the head!!
I grew up singing this song because it was catchy. now I'm an adult and this is one of my destress songs. I understand why my mom would play it so often lmao
Love the reaction. I heard the song back in the 90s. Didn't realize it was 4 Non Blondes. Other female singers...PINK, Madonna, Cher, Karen Carpenter & Tina Turner, just to name a few.
My eternal
Evanescence
Makes me cry
Awesome song and suggestion. But the song is called "My Immortal". Amy Lee's voice gives me goosebumps on the bridge every time I listen to it.
Also, Amy Lee w/ Seether on “Broken”was phenomenal . Seriously.
I have a little crush on you and I'm 67. LOVE your reactions.
Same 😂
I never mind the pauses! This was a great song to react to!
That’s why the video has so many views. A unique talent.
What a treat Molly boy! ❤ Greatest. Song. Ever.
32 years had passed but still singing it from the TOP OF MY LUNGS! 😁🤘
From the same album, try to react to Dear. Mr. President. Amazing vocals and amazing lyrics.
Keep rockin. Peace
Dude, The Runaways, CLASSIC all girl band. So many great songs
For goose bumps, Jefferson Airplane "White Rabbit" or "Somebody to Love"
Runaways - Cherry Bomb
Still love this one since 93😎🇧🇻
You remind me so much of myself when I was your age and your love of music, your energy is infectious!!! Thank you!!!
Fantastic song and her voice is wonderful. This gets turned all the way up when it is on.
Always loved 4 NonBlondes. Thanks for playing their very best!
Circa 1992 and the fact that I'm having to use the word Circa sucks but anyway, a couple of years out of high school and we would play this song so loud, get us in the mood to get us to the bar. All of us straight dudes but we didn't give a F. We appreciated the talent of this band. Great times.
It'd criminal how underrated this band is. The whole album is FIRE! You should check out Train or Morphine and Chocolate
I was lucky enough to sit and have a drink with them at Rock City in Nottingham after they'd done their sound check, lovely lovely people. Incredible song. 😊
Halestorm ...has some powerful pipes
What an amazing reaction 😁 It was great to see your joy on that one. “She probably came out of the womb doing that” 🤣
I need to suggest another amazing female singer: Alanis Morrisette
This is a great song. ❤
Please More Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac - Gypsy and some Christine McVie leads as well - little Lies, Everywhere, Songbird .
This came out when I was in college. It was the perfect time for me. Gets me every time.
🇬🇧
When this song came out, it very quickly became my new favourite song, & I still love it now. ❤🎼👌
Love love love Linda Perry. Great song and awesome reaction! Thanks.
Beth Heart and Joe Bonamassa - I’d rather go blind. Will blow your mind 😀
Am I the one, live at the Paradiso, I'll take care of you..... On and on
One of the greatest songwriters you've never heard of. Linda Perry, the lead singer, has written many hit songs for other artists.
Ok ok I have over 100 reactors on my playlist and your traction to this has just shot up to my number 1 favorite reaction!! You got those cartoon hearts popping outta your eyes !! Very entertaining!!! Thank u!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️😁
I was rockin when 4 non came into existence. They blew it out ! These gals were very high on radio play! I still play this band loud. Glad you appreciate these vocals .
This was a great song. I knew you would love. Girl rock bands from the 80s. Heart, The Bangles. They got some bangers
America's first all Lesbian rock band. Lead singer, Linda Perry, is in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame. She has written so many hit songs with so many big artists. Super talented. Some of the songs she has written, besides this one, are: Beautiful - Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani - Whatcha' Waiting For, P!nk - Get the Party Started, The Dixie Chicks (The Chicks) - Voice Inside My Head, Alicia Keys - Superwoman, Weezer - Brave New World, Adele Can't Let Go,
P!Nk-Halfway Gone... To name a few..
She was married to Sarah Gilbert and they have 2 children together. 🎉
Woo hoo,,,, can't wait 😊 love this song! She has an amazing voice.
I don't think I ever heard any other songs from this band on the radio. Just this one. But it stayed in the charts forever. Such a good song. Can't help but sing along and annoy my neighbours when I hear this. Cause it feels even better to howl along instead of just listening. So so good.
Pat Benatar,you will love her! One of the biggest female vocalist in the 80s.
I personally would start out with fire and ice.
Thanks, Molly Boy.
YES, Fire & Ice is the song to start with!! LOVE Pat Benetar!!!
Great Linda Perry! Her solo works are even better, what a voice!
Those incredible Vocals are Linda Perry, She is not only an awesome vocalist She is an outstanding Song Writer, Writing songs for other Mega Stars like:
Christina Aguilera: "Beautiful" and "Candyman"
Gwen Stefani: "What You Waiting For?" and "Wonderful Life"
Alicia Keys: "Superwoman"
Courtney Love: "Letter To God"
Kelly Osbourne: "One Word"
Celine Dion: "My Love"
James Blunt: "No Bravery"
Pink: "Get the Party Started"
Adele: "Can't Let Go"
Just to Name a Few.... MollyBoy, when are you going to dive into the Blues Genre? Beth Hart IS The Reigning QUEEN of the Blues and man Shes a Badass, may I suggest the Song "Am I the One" Live at the Paradisio for a start!
One of the best singing voices you will ever hear.
You made my day rocking out to one of my all time favorite tunes ❤ your joy is infectious!
Did anyone ever tell you that you have beautiful teeth? You do. We LOVED this song back in the 1990's! We sang it al the top of our lungs, you better believe it. LOL You're right about the .90's! So you can keep wearing a hat when you want to. In 1993, "What's Up?" cracked the charts globally and peaked at No. 2 in the US, but a year after the band hit it big, 4 Non Blondes broke up. Ironically, the phrase "what's up" doesn't appear in the song's lyrics. Women can see that you like women's voices, and it shows. LOVE THAT about you!
"Violet" by Hole! (Courtney Love) 💜💜💜
I've been a metalhead since '85 and all of my friends still make fun of me for loving this song. I just like good music.
For Halloween, PLEASE PLEASE react to Nina Simone "I Put Spell On You." It's from 1965 and it's timeless. ❤❤❤❤❤🦇🦇🦇🦇
I bought this when it was first released. Just brilliant. Glad you liked this.
Johnette Napolitano from Concrete Blonde is another underrated fantastic female artist. I love her version of Everybody Knows. Give it a listen.
Love her Pretty and Twisted album
This is an iconic song!! One of my favs!! ❤❤❤ Ya can't keep from singing along, especially the chorus❣️ A real feel good song❣️
Love this song. One of my partner, Mike's favorites... Linda Perry is a genius song writer for some of the greats. Good shit. (edit - just realized I'm still logged in as MommaOG but it's meeeee WonderMommaOG! lol )
Love to see your compilations reactions videos 👌🖤🤘
Anytime I see that a reactor is reaching to What’s Up, I just HAVE to watch it because I know it’s gonna blow someone away, as it did you. I believe yours is my favorite reaction ever to this song! When you teased us with “I wanna rewind, I wanna rewind,” I was here yelling “DO IT!!” So glad you did! I really enjoy your reactions!!
