As an older British teacher, I would say kids' knowledge of the Beatles depends heavily on their parents and grandparents. Far fewer kids these days are brought up with the radio playing in the background. It's wonderful to see them enjoying the music, and I think it would be the later Beatles music that they would find more interesting.
Don't Let Me Down is popular among reactors. Who knows how it got to be "representative" for people, that is, their first Beatles song. I don't know if I would have liked this song if it were the first Beatles tune I had heard. To get into this type of sound now 50+ years later, I think a person really needs to have heard classic rock and started down the Beatles rabbit hole for some time, preferably listening to their early stuff too in addition to the Beatles top hits. Then get into the Let It Be years. My niece and nephew who are college kids, love, love the Beatles heard classic rock pop and AM radio tunes while growing up. So, they already had a vocabulary and understood music form the 60's 70's by the time the got into the Beatles. Thanks for your review.
It may be because it doesn’t seem to get blocked as much as their studio performances. The live stuff appears to get blocked less frequently. I’m not sure why.
@@MsAppassionata You are probably right. There are a lot of their promo videos and some early live performance out there that would be more representative of their work. Hmm. Maybe because these are in B&W. Who know why things catch on. I just think it is great that the Beatles are having a lot of exposure and that younger people are giving them a listen.
The Roof top performance! At the Recording Studio ! Right after thay finished the album large crowd started to gather!on the streets People coming out on the roof tops of the high rises! Surrounding the building,Some love it, outhers opposed it! Eventually the police showed up! To stop it, when thay started to play Get Back! But ended up letting them finish the show! It shocked alot people thay would dare do something like that at the time!
Listening to the Beatles was just one of the things on their list of being good women. It's good they think they are good women. Have confidence, ladies! Good for them.
Yes I would like to see more Beatles reactions. And yes, that was the late, great Billy Preston on keyboards. I feel that the director or the cameraman really gave him short shrift here. Perhaps they didn’t feel that showing someone who was not an official member of the band was necessary, but I get the feeling that they wouldn’t have done that with Eric Clapton.
I felt better about this song after I saw Get Back from Peter Jackson...we old guys finally get to see how those last studio sessions were with the boys and we had been led to believe it had all been mostly bad...quite the contrary. It was after this session on the roof that the boys, though knowing the end was near, decided to go back to the studio one more time and do it just like the old days...that gave us Abbey Road which is my favorite Beatle album of all time and then it was really the end...until we got the next song this year (I have not looked to see if you reacted to reactors reacting to Now and Then...the 1970's song that Yoko gave the boys to finish and release with Harrison still playing - during the time of the anthology in the 90s - and John's voice on a separate track - made possible by Peter Jackson's new software that uses AI to separate multiple sounds on one track into separate tracks) (By the way, the great Billy Preston on keys...)
It boils my piss when people say, "I wasn't even born then", as if that meant something. Newsflash: there was a whole shitload of art and music created before any of us here on this earth were born. It's irrelevant. Can you imagine someone looking at Da Vinci painting, or listening to an aria by Puccini and saying, "this was before my time"? Actually I can imagine that. There's a whole lot of narcissists who think they're the most important thing that's ever happened to the world.
LOL, very hot take! Agreed, the relevancy of that type of comment is nil. There's a lot of false equivalencies these days that people aren't even aware of. But it's ok, I'm old, time moves on...
As to why they chose this song to react to, for some strange reason Brit reactors have a harder time with Beatles copyright and get blocked more than in America. There are 2 young Liverpool lads called Bros React and everytime they try and react to a Beatles song it gets blocked. I’m a Brit and it annoys me that 2 lads from Liverpool, the Beatles hometown, can’t react to them but Americans can! So maybe these 2 young girls can only do this one with a copyright logo through it. I don’t know really. But every kid knows the Beatles, my friends 6 year old granddaughter sings along to Beatles songs!
I'm continually surprised by incredibly famous songs/artists not being recognized by reactors. Some of it is obviously "fake", but a few have never heard of some of the greatest artists of all time.
@@r2rr with some reactors you can tell they have already listened to the song before doing the video. They will pause it and be able to recite the lyrics they have supposedly just heard. When some songs lyrics are hard to decipher at first listen. But they will catch it word for word and notice certain musical instruments in a song, that took me ages to notice. But maybe that’s just my hearing after years of concerts etc! And sound quality has improved since I was younger. But I’m still skeptical!
6-4-4...(video blurry and it was not you - it was them) I imagined that she equated being a good woman with listening to the Beatles as due to the probability that most of her peers wonder why they would listen to those old farts! I will forgive her for "I don't who that guy is"...OMG...that hurts me every time I hear a young person say that...oh well...I raised my kids better...they know who that is! Oh Hell...I am too old to rate someone this young on the Beatles!
Lol! It's fun for me to "judge" young people because it gives me perspective on how this younger generation thinks, which is confusing and fascinating to me.

Hello! If you like Beatles music (or solo Lennon, McCartney) let me know and I'll do more of these reactions. Thanks so much for the support!

I understand what you mean.
I grew up in an R&B house in Missouri, so my love for the Beatles came from somewhere else...
Appreciate your thoughts.
The great Billy Preston on keyboard
True, true
yea, i agree with you on the sadness. the energy of all the stuff they did then at the end (let it be) has a sadness to it.
The let it be sessions were in January 1969. That summer work progressed on the final album they made as a group, Abbey Road, released October 1969.

I'm British, and young people in the late 1980's had not even heard of the The Beatles.
(I live in USA now)
What?! What were they doing, living under a rock? 🤦🏽♀️

More Beatles reactions coming up!
And Billy Preston was so good in his own right, another underrated musician/singer.
Thanks for pointing this out.
I really like your approach!
You are very kind. Thanks for your time.
They did a fine job, would score tens across board. They're not dull or fake -- that is very important.
Very important. Thanks.
You might want to put a link to their reaction in your description.
lol... "i heard of them but...."
lol!

Great info. And yes, people forget about Billy Preston's contributions.
