Famously Annie Lennox went to a party when she was a teenager where the only record they had to play was A Whiter Shade of Pale. While all the teengagers were busy amusing themselves with each other, Annie's job was to stand by the record player and move the needle back to the beginning over and over ..........
Walking on broken glass is a favourite of mine. And the fact it has John malkcovich in it makes it even better. Must be an angel is a great song to. 🥰🥰🥰
She is heavily pregnant with Lola during the filming of the Little Bird video (you see when she stands side on) that is why they used the concept of the look a likes so Annie didn't have to do much physically because she was literally over 7 months pregnant! ♥️♥️
As magical as Annie's voice is, her visual presentation always just takes you a step beyond any expectations. Oftentimes a bit surreal and, as you said, even perplexing. But her commitment to creating a character and a world for it to inhabit is so compelling. Always stunning work.
'Little Bird' is one of my favourite music videos to watch. Every time I watch it I focus on a different Annie iteration. You were totally correct when you said that they all have Annie's facial expressions down. It was probably inspired by the Emcee from Cabaret.
No more I loves you came out when I was 13. There wasn't really any exposure to anything LGBTQ+ on TV or in life in general. As a very confused teen trying to come to terms with my sexuality, I didn't really even know gay was a thing. The video for this was such an eye opener - men dressed as women, men dancing with men. I still didn't really understand it but it was a really important video to me. Walking on broken glass - how amazing to get Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich in a music video! Love it!
By the way, her second album "Medusa" contains of nothing but cover versions which Annie of course made her own. So "No More I Love You's" is originally by A Lover Speaks (07/86 UK #58) and "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by Procul Harum (05/67 UK #1 US #5).
I love that the Medusa album made me look at the sleeve notes to find out who recorded a particular song originally and then seek their music out. I have listened to artists like Neil Young that I would never have listened to for free on the radio before. ♥️♥️
No More "I Love You's" was written by David Freeman of the 80's New Wave duo The Lover Speaks (hence the lyric.."the lover speaks about the monsters.) Another fantastic cover of one of their songs is "Sleep Like Breathing" off Allison Moyet's Raindancing release.
If you haven't checked her out with her first group 'The Tourists' from 1979, their biggest hit was 'I Only Want To Be With You'. Dave Stewart was part of the band too before they formed 'Eurythmics' :)
In Little Bird Annie was heavily pregnant with her oldest daughter and wore the emcee costume in part to cover it up. I believe that most (maybe all) of the other Annies were professional lookalikes. In No More I Love Yous the ballet dancers were a tribute to an iconic troupe of ballet performers called Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. They are an all male group who perform females roles
The wonderful Sophie Muller directed all her videos as she also did Shakespears Sister's videos, and I really hope you do them next :D Shakespears Sister is led by Siobhan Fahey (formerly of Bananarama and also formerly married to Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics, another Annie Lennox connection there)
She has the gifts of being stylish, dramatic, camp, inidivudalistic, soulful, gentle, wrathful, intense, and fun, while being an incredible singer and a striking beauty.
Love both solo Annie, and the Eurythmics. Another very cool song, and video is, "I Saved the World Today", from their brief reforming in '99. Excellent channel my friend!!
The "No More I Love Yous" video takes place in a 19th century bordello - where everyone is playing a part and pretending to be someone they are not. This symbolizes the people that were in her life who claimed to love her. She is saying that she doesn't want to hear "I love you!" anymore but wants to experience love in reality rather than just in words.
I know I'm a year too late but here I go anyway. You hit the nail on the head. I was hoping that someone would understand the background and the context that connects to the meaning of the song. It wasn't arbitrary. I would add one superfluous context. The bordello depicted was made famous by Cyrano de Bergerac. He was a short, homely outcast who found his acceptance here. He is the father of the musical art poster and the inspiration for rock album covers. I don't think that was part of the thinking here but the unattributed, shadow reality is connected. Thanks for your contribution to everyone's understanding.
I'm a huge annie lennox fan!! thanks so much for showcasing her talent and artistry on your channel! Her music videos were top notch and always thought provoking. I agree on " no more I love you's " I don't see how the performance in the music video ties in with the actual song and its content. But Annie loves to keep us guessing and she uses a lot of symbolism in her music. I might take a stab and say that the music video is sort of a parody of her real life? Like maybe fame impacted her love life somehow? hmmm its still a mystery.
Oh wow this was a really huge treat for me today! Recovering from surgery and in a ton of pain but LOVE Annie Lennox and this made me so happy!! Thanks a ton!!!
Truly an unforgettable artist in every sense of the word. I am glad that you are exploring more of Annie Lennox's music as well as the Eurythmics. Other solo songs you may want to listen to are, "Pavement Cracks", "Dark Road", "Love Song for a Vampire", "Shining Light", "Honestly", "Oh God" (Prayer) and a great duet with David Gray called, " Full Steam". Enjoy! 🎶
"A Whiter Shade of Pale" is a song by the English rock band Procol Harum that was issued as their debut record on 12 May 1967. The single reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart on 8 June and stayed there for six weeks. Without much promotion, it reached number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100..so says Wikipedia.
Love me some Annie Lennox. Out of this set No More "I Love You's" and Walking on Broken Glass are my faves, both songs and videos. But you're right, A Whiter Shade of Pale is so soothing. I think now after hearing the original by Procol Harum (both studio and live versions) I prefer them. You should check both out when you get a chance.
I love that you can hear the subtle Scottish accent in her voice without it being too thick. Makes me proud as a fellow Scot when I listen to her because she sounds so gorgeous. Thanks again ❤
Her record company must have been tearing their hair at the cost of the videos, and being able to get John Malkovic and Hugh Laurie from the TV show House to appear shows how much she is respected. she must be among the top female vocalists and stands apart from her contemporaries.
@@PancakeMarshmallowDude Another Annie written song (and by the way she did write No More I Love You's) that I would implore you to react to is Love Song for a Vampire, which she wrote for the 1990s film "Brahm Stoker's Dracula". It is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs you're ever likely to hear.
This brought back so many memories. Diva was one of my coming out albums. It was the backdrop of a very intense time in my life both positive and negative. I remember dancing to the remixes of Little Bird and Walking on Broken Glass in the clubs. What a trip!!!
The video for walking on broken glass takes inspo from movie dangerous liaisons which starred John malcovich who plays her clover in this.also the guy she sits with is British comedian,actor and jazz pianist Hugh Laurie who was house.
Thank you very much for coming back to Annie Lennox. Just like her, I can be happy about you. It's fun. You can find more of her acting talent at *Cold* and *Waiting in vain*. Such a touching song is also *Lovesong for a vampire*
This made my day,love Eurythmics and Annie solo Works,Little bird , Walking on the broken glass and No more i love you's are my favorite 's of this.great artist, video 's and your's reaction 's, channel is super!
Also you should check out Love song for a vampire. The theme song from the Dracula movie starring Gary Oldman. It was released in the UK as a double A side single release with Little Bird. The video is also brilliant, who else could play a Vampire Bride look terrifying but still beautiful! ♥️♥️ A brilliant live moment when she appeared with David Bowie at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert at London's Wembley Stadium. They performed Under Pressure the track that David Bowie sang as a duet with Queen in the eighties. Annie sounds amazing and looks and acts completely bonkers. The outfit she wore was featured as a character in the Little Bird video. Just search YT for David Bowie Annie Lennox Freddie Mercury tribute concert. ♥️♥️
I knew you'd love Little Bird, good selection all around this time, all great. Next time you do an Annie solo, 2 suggestions, her cover of "Waiting in Vain" and "Love Song for a Vampire", the theme to the Dracula remake, her lyrics and vocals are just wonderful
I think those scenes were inspired by the film adaptation of 'Dangerous Laisons' which was first written as a play. The two characters are playing a cruel game, they are competing against one another to see who can break more hearts and destroy more lives.
Did you realize how cleverly they hid that she was heavily (!!!) pregnant in the "Little Bird" video? Black dress in front of a dark background - and most viewers don't notice it 😉
Aaaaaaaahhhhh ANNIE LENNOX has been often compared too DAVID BOWIE Infact she was referred too as The Female Vetsion of him 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇😀 Mainly Because her visuals were beyond stunning and Artistically Creative Shocking and all the great and beyond great real eye visuals morsals or eye candy of perfection that only our eyes could love 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇 in perfect musical art 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇😀 And of course her being such a great singer and expressionist goes a long way 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇 I LOL ANNIE ❤️ her too death She Pure Greatness 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇 LOL your reaction 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇
They always said that you knew best, but This little bird's fallen out of that nest now I've got a feeling that I might've been blessed so I've just got to put these wings to test She'd been with the Eurythmics for so long, it must've been scary yet exhilerating to go out on her own. This song and video is such a testament to embracing the past while still moving forward.
Little Bird was smacked into Demi Moores Striptease movie as its soundtrack,dont ask me how i know. It was for science okay?! I wanted to see if actresses could dance in movies *cough cough*. 😳But the vibe of that song was perfect for the scene with Demi,as i seem to remember she was home alone,and danced around in a shirt and some panties,with a hairdryer on (it was drying her hair OKAY! And i think she at one point acted like it was a microphone) It was a fun scene,with Demi just "fooling around,having a good time". I might be wrong,but its defintly in that movie,and all jokes aside: It is more of a drama comedy,it has alot of both. Eventhough you do see alot of female bahama mamas and badonkadonks in the movie,its very light hearted. And at the time Demi got paied an astronomical sum of money to star in the movie,so it was a high budget production for sure in the mid 90s. And by Annie having her solo material (as well as some of Eurythmics`s songs i think) in it,it just shows how well respected and appreciated shes in the world.
Again your reactions have so much rewatch value was good watching these again. I do hope you do reactions for more Diva music videos. She released a video album on VHS back in the day (showing my age lol) when the actual album came out and made a whole host of music videos for non single releases, quick list lol Legend in my Living Room, Money Can't Buy It, Primitive, The Gift & Keep Young and Beautiful. All the visuals are stunning as are the other 2 vids for the singles Precious & Cold are brilliant also.
I love Annie and her amazing voice. But if you wanna be blown away by the original Whiter Shade Of Pale by Procol Harum then watch this video - Live in Denmark 2006.. It is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
Sophie Muller started out producing Eurythmics videos and she did almost all of Annie’s solo work too. She’s incredible; just look up her videography, you’ll be surprised by how many iconic musicians and videos she has worked on. Padam anyone?
I highly recommend you listen to the original version of No More "I Love You's" by The Lover Speaks. A very different vibe, but an amazingly sumptuous and dramatic song. And the original video is fantastic. And you've gotta love that Little Bird.
The love interest in Walking on Broken Glass was John Malkovich, who was huuuge at the time. Maybe it’s because I was familiar with his work in Dangerous Liaisons, that I always thought he was in on it in this video. I felt like she didn’t so much as win him back, as they set the whole spectacle up to cause drama.
A Whiter Shade of Pale... Annie Lennox shows how to do a cover right. Take a beloved track (please react to Procol Harum's original of the song, not some later live version) and give it your own, while _not_ making a sad song happy or a desparate song "positive". Instead, take the primal emotions at the core of the original and use your own emotions to show how _you'd_ accomplish the same with your take. (There are far too many covers in the world that take a very strong song of sadness or desperation that try and make it uplifting or "sexy", which clearly is a pet peeve of mine...) :)
Just to let you know, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were in a band called The Tourists before they split off from them sometime after 1979 to become The Eurythmics. Here is a music video from them, when Annie was just 27. Production’s not as great as the videos you’ve watched on this channel, so not expecting you to want to make a video from it. Just thought I’d share it for your own pleasure. Annies voice is still AMAZING! (UA-cam removes comments with links, so just search for "The Tourists - So Good to Be Back Home Again (Official Video)" if you’re interested. Enjoy!)
Hello, just love Annie, she has a fantastic voice. If you want to react to a world class voice, who can sing anything. Give Vanessa Amorosi a listen. She’s from my home town of Melbourne Australia, so I’m 100% biased. Guarantee you’ll agree with me. Heroes last forever, covers of a Janis Joplin song that will blow your mind. Natural Woman, Mohammed, isolation and so many more. Live or video clip she sounds amazing and has a range….
You should check out her song, "Love Song For A Vampire", used at the end of 'Bram Stokers Dracula' film, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, very cool .moody ballad.
Annie Lennox is like a chameleon. So many looks and attitudes! Not only music, but also theatrics. The whole package of talent.
Famously Annie Lennox went to a party when she was a teenager where the only record they had to play was A Whiter Shade of Pale. While all the teengagers were busy amusing themselves with each other, Annie's job was to stand by the record player and move the needle back to the beginning over and over ..........
Walking on broken glass is a favourite of mine. And the fact it has John malkcovich in it makes it even better. Must be an angel is a great song to. 🥰🥰🥰
Hugh Laurie (House, Blackadder) as her estranged husband is also a joy to behold.
@@susanjohnston8267 definitely 😄😄😄
For me, “No More I Love You’s” is her masterpiece. ✌️
They are all masterpieces
I agree of i had to choose one. The video is campy
Her current and ex-lovers on “Walking on broken glass” video were portrayed by Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich respectively.
She is heavily pregnant with Lola during the filming of the Little Bird video (you see when she stands side on) that is why they used the concept of the look a likes so Annie didn't have to do much physically because she was literally over 7 months pregnant! ♥️♥️
One of the most underrated female performers of all time.
Pure art. Everything she does is a masterpiece.
Absolutely. I always looked at her as a female equivalent to David Bowie.. Both artistic approach with their craft .❤
As magical as Annie's voice is, her visual presentation always just takes you a step beyond any expectations. Oftentimes a bit surreal and, as you said, even perplexing. But her commitment to creating a character and a world for it to inhabit is so compelling.
Always stunning work.

Love Song For a Vampire. It was in the Dracula film with Keanu Reeves.

Walking on broken glass - how amazing to get Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich in a music video! Love it!
Easily one of the classiest women in our music world today. Why and No More I Love You's are my favourite songs from her.
I Annie's ability to act has always been under appreciated. It might be a natural consequence of being memorized by her voice.
By the way, her second album "Medusa" contains of nothing but cover versions which Annie of course made her own. So "No More I Love You's" is originally by A Lover Speaks (07/86 UK #58) and "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by Procul Harum (05/67 UK #1 US #5).
I love that the Medusa album made me look at the sleeve notes to find out who recorded a particular song originally and then seek their music out. I have listened to artists like Neil Young that I would never have listened to for free on the radio before. ♥️♥️
I LOVED "Wait in Vain' from that album and the video is so fun.
@@geebrewer8186 Oh yes, so did AND DO I 🙂
No More "I Love You's" was written by David Freeman of the 80's New Wave duo The Lover Speaks (hence the lyric.."the lover speaks about the monsters.)
Another fantastic cover of one of their songs is "Sleep Like Breathing" off Allison Moyet's Raindancing release.
so unique, ahead of her time. i dont know anyone who doesnt like her tbh.
If you haven't checked her out with her first group 'The Tourists' from 1979, their biggest hit was 'I Only Want To Be With You'. Dave Stewart was part of the band too before they formed 'Eurythmics' :)
It's her voice, it's pure magic...Absolutely amazing! 🖤
There is only one annie lennox. And there will never be another female singer like her. An absolute goddess
In Little Bird Annie was heavily pregnant with her oldest daughter and wore the emcee costume in part to cover it up. I believe that most (maybe all) of the other Annies were professional lookalikes.
In No More I Love Yous the ballet dancers were a tribute to an iconic troupe of ballet performers called Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. They are an all male group who perform females roles
What I love about the Little Bird video is that two of the Annies are from the same video (Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)).
So glad you had all of these Anne vids. I can binge on her easy.
The wonderful Sophie Muller directed all her videos as she also did Shakespears Sister's videos, and I really hope you do them next :D Shakespears Sister is led by Siobhan Fahey (formerly of Bananarama and also formerly married to Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics, another Annie Lennox connection there)

No prizes for recognising Hugh Laurie (House) with the all-star cast in the Walking on Broken Glass video...

The “live in Denmark” version is a must see/hear.
@@bpfromowc That's a fantastic version.
Haven’t seen Walking on Broken Glass for AGES and now rather than see Hugh Laurie as his Prince George in Blackadder character I’m hearing Dr House 😂

Also then found this and again, amazing… Annie is very very special as are you and your reactions, so thank you.

No More I Love Yous is like a Talous la Trek painting come to life and was one her biggest hits back in 1995!!
“Sister’s are Doing it for Themselves” with Aretha & “Cold”
Oh you got me on a 90s kick now. How about a BRANDY compilation??? Please include Full Moon 🙏💚
❤ I love her cover of 'Winter Wonderland.' She is beautiful.
Thank you very much for coming back to Annie Lennox.
Just like her, I can be happy about you. It's fun.
You can find more of her acting talent at *Cold* and *Waiting in vain*.
Such a touching song is also *Lovesong for a vampire*
Everytime I see Hugh Laurey in Walking on Broken Glass alongside Annie it makes me smile
No more I love you's , by far and away the best song and video
This made my day,love Eurythmics and Annie solo Works,Little bird , Walking on the broken glass and No more i love you's are my favorite 's of this.great artist, video 's and your's reaction 's, channel is super!

Annie is a drag queen and I'm here for it. I saw her live many years ago and she was amazing. _No More I Love Yous_ is probably my fave by her.
Loved it, thank you. There’s still so much to see from her catalogue aswell as Eurythmics, hopefully you’ll do another 😊

There was a house mix of Little Bird that they used to play in the Hacienda house club at the time. It was wiiiiild 🎉
Made in Scotland 🏴 chilly sunny Aberdeen.
Great choice 👌🎧
There’s a video of her live performance at Central park doing this song ( Little Bird) that is amazing.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!! 😊

They always said that you knew best, but
This little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that I might've been blessed so
I've just got to put these wings to test
She'd been with the Eurythmics for so long, it must've been scary yet exhilerating to go out on her own. This song and video is such a testament to embracing the past while still moving forward.
OMG LOVE SONG FOR A VAMPIRE ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽 ITS THE BEST - as well as little bird from my childhood hahaha
Medusa is fantastic!! The video for Waiting in Vain is cute.
Goodness I loved everything Annie did when I was a kid, and I think I finally understand why. Anyway, I love your reaction videos! Thanks.
Thank you so much!!
Waiting in Vain and Love Song For A Vampire both by Annie Lennox please. Thanks

Man, you got to listen to Annie Lennox singing Love Song For A Vampire just beautiful
Hands down my favourite female artist
I love Annie!
Again your reactions have so much rewatch value was good watching these again. I do hope you do reactions for more Diva music videos. She released a video album on VHS back in the day (showing my age lol) when the actual album came out and made a whole host of music videos for non single releases, quick list lol Legend in my Living Room, Money Can't Buy It, Primitive, The Gift & Keep Young and Beautiful. All the visuals are stunning as are the other 2 vids for the singles Precious & Cold are brilliant also.
Thank you so much!!
I never understood why the original version of 'No More I love Yous' didn't do better; so excited when Annie took the song where it deserved.
John Malkovich and Hugh Laurie 🥰
" Walking on Broken glass "
I love Annie and her amazing voice. But if you wanna be blown away by the original Whiter Shade Of Pale by Procol Harum then watch this video - Live in Denmark 2006.. It is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
I know I’ve done this on another vid, but do know which Eurythmics or Annie vid had to be deleted from this playlist? I can’t figure it out 😂
I can't recall any specific videos, but most of the deleted ones were from before November of 2021.
Sophie Muller started out producing Eurythmics videos and she did almost all of Annie’s solo work too. She’s incredible; just look up her videography, you’ll be surprised by how many iconic musicians and videos she has worked on. Padam anyone?
How long does Christmas last in your household, if I may ask? 😂 Love it though
My videos are pre-filmed months in advance 😊
Cant wait for my video requests
Garbage

You won't be disappointed 😌
is a genius!!
Annie was heavily pregnant in the Little Bird Video, if i remember correctly. Beautiful ❤How stunning is .No more I love you's.
I highly recommend you listen to the original version of No More "I Love You's" by The Lover Speaks. A very different vibe, but an amazingly sumptuous and dramatic song. And the original video is fantastic. And you've gotta love that Little Bird.
The love interest in Walking on Broken Glass was John Malkovich, who was huuuge at the time.
Maybe it’s because I was familiar with his work in Dangerous Liaisons, that I always thought he was in on it in this video. I felt like she didn’t so much as win him back, as they set the whole spectacle up to cause drama.
Annie is a Goddess
A Whiter Shade of Pale... Annie Lennox shows how to do a cover right. Take a beloved track (please react to Procol Harum's original of the song, not some later live version) and give it your own, while _not_ making a sad song happy or a desparate song "positive". Instead, take the primal emotions at the core of the original and use your own emotions to show how _you'd_ accomplish the same with your take. (There are far too many covers in the world that take a very strong song of sadness or desperation that try and make it uplifting or "sexy", which clearly is a pet peeve of mine...) :)
Just to let you know, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were in a band called The Tourists before they split off from them sometime after 1979 to become The Eurythmics. Here is a music video from them, when Annie was just 27. Production’s not as great as the videos you’ve watched on this channel, so not expecting you to want to make a video from it. Just thought I’d share it for your own pleasure. Annies voice is still AMAZING!
(UA-cam removes comments with links, so just search for "The Tourists - So Good to Be Back Home Again (Official Video)" if you’re interested. Enjoy!)

Amnie Lennox could sing the menu from my local chinese takeaway and I would buy it.
Hello, just love Annie, she has a fantastic voice. If you want to react to a world class voice, who can sing anything. Give Vanessa Amorosi a listen. She’s from my home town of Melbourne Australia, so I’m 100% biased. Guarantee you’ll agree with me. Heroes last forever, covers of a Janis Joplin song that will blow your mind. Natural Woman, Mohammed, isolation and so many more. Live or video clip she sounds amazing and has a range….
You should check out her song, "Love Song For A Vampire", used at the end of 'Bram Stokers Dracula' film, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, very cool .moody ballad.
