What Happened To La Roux? The ‘Bulletproof’ duo didn’t seem to withstand their massive hit. instagram: imthehonestboy twitter: imthehonestboy business inquires: muyhonest@gmail.com
Bulletproof was my favourite song on Nintendo Wii karaoke when I was a kid. They displayed the music video as well and Ellie was the first androgynous female I ever saw, I remember being very impressed.
I didn't realize that the Original High was from 2015... Adam Lambert just released another album last March, I believe. Haven't listened to it yet, though.
Whenever I hear bulletproof I want to cry. That song takes me back to when I was 14, living at home with my parents, playing IMVU and waiting for my mom to finish cooking. Now I’m 24, lost my mom, trying to become a adult. Wow.
As a massive La Roux fan, I feel like I should mention a couple of things that are missing. Elly lost her voice due to panic attacks and stress in between the first and second albums, which was part of the reason it took her so long to release the second despite the writing starting pretty early on and it being sung in her chest voice mostly. After that amazing album, she made an entirely new one with lots of collaborators before scrapping the whole project because it "was repeating the old mistakes" she made, like letting others take control over her ideas. Therefore, she decided to make Supervision, completing it in just four months as she "can now see everything clearly" but also doesn't need anyone else to tell her what her music should be. :)
i love bulletproof and let me down gently soooooooooooooooo much you cant believe and its more than that... idk what is it but this woman has a very special place in my heart
@Sminem I loved tiger lily. I can’t find a lot of her stuff on UA-cam but she had the very raw versions up once upon a time. They are in the gold album though. Tiger lily had a version without the creepy voice in it and it was a more true sound to her voice. I couldn’t agree more. Tiger lily is in my top 3 from la roux
I was 16 and working at forever 21 the time bulletproof and in for the kill was released her style literally influenced everything i wore in 09 i never kept my paycheck 😂
Omg sameee I was obsessed with her style I wanted to own everything she had. The colorful jackets and printed leggings, the cameo necklaces, ugh I remember that so vividly
Her second album "Trouble in Paradise" is one of my all time favorite albums. I love listening to her song "Paradise is you" while driving along the ocean.
you should do a video on Lily Allen. just like La Roux, she is one of the most influential musicians of the British scene in the 00s. does anyone feel me?
A thousand times yes. I loved her so much in 08/09 and had "Fuck You" on my myspace playlist. I dont know why she's so slept on these days but her biggest hits are all mostly from that time
Still listening to La Roux today! She got bops after bops, some softer songs, sad song, feel good jams. She’s lovely! Colourless Color, As If By Magic, Tropical Chancer, Sexotheque, Otherside, Gullible Fool, He Rides. 💞
Nothing. Nothing happened to La Roux, she exists and is always relevant to meee I literally got her recent album pre-ordered and the signed version ÙwÚ
I'm listening to her music lately, thank you Honest for covering up this topic. Kindly listen to her albums, Trouble in Paradise & Supervision, please! She's still making good music.
i wish you mentioned i'm not your toy, that was one of my favorite songs from that time period and i remember it being pretty successful too! cool video
Omg thank u for this video! I’ve been a huge La Roux fan since 2012 and to this day I still support all of her projects. Supervision (her latest 2020 album) is a BOP.
I love La Roux's music to this day. Their second album was just as good as the first. Elly's third album Supervision, I thought, was a solid album. I didn't like it as much as the first 2, but it had some great songs. And the fact that she wrote, produced, sang, and played all the instruments for it is very admirable.
I was subscribed to you on my old account and I’m so glad I remembered to sub again when I created my new one! I’m the one who commented on the monotone ‘certified bop’ and got a heart :)
I didn’t really know them like that, honestly I didn’t even know that they were a duo, I only knew the girl. But I loved bulletproof! It’s a great song. Hey honest, can you do a video on BLACKPINK please? I recently go into them and I would like your opinion on the group
La Roux has been one of my fave singers since 2009 yasss! I finally saw her in concert this February and she was AMAZING, it had been a dream of mine to see her live
La Roux was (a still is) my favorite female artist growing up. She really paved the way for me to get into pop and listen to music outside my comfort zone. I was obsessed with her and I think she is making wonderful music now like she did back then. That woman is very dear to my heart 🤍
*BRUH!* i deadass randomly thought of their song "bulletproof" the other day & this pops up on my feed omg lol that song was played 24/7. after all these years it's still lit AF & makes you happy #CLASSIC! #goodtimes
Bulletproof is still so chilling to me when I hear it it's literally goosebumps. Absolutely loved her 80s sharp look with fiery hair. I wish the best for both of them in the future with whatever they venture into.
I love how this just so happened to appear on my reccommended. I just bought her second album vinyl its been my favorite since it released. Im happy she is getting noticed by new listeners on Tik Tok. It gets word out about her music but all trends die out on there so she wont skyrocket into popularity again. Its nice and she likes the memes as she posts them on her facebook.
Omg i was literally thinking about la roux and what happened to her like last week! I was walking to work and ‘in for the kill’ popped into my head outta nowhere and made me wonder where she went so THANKS for this vid! 😁
The title of this video triggered me back to 8th grade when my friend and I sang “Bulletproof” for the talent show. I am very uneasy But “I’m not your toy” was a BOP
The song bullet proof began playing in my head, so I searched the lyrics and wound up here, I didn't even know the song was viral on tiktok a few years back because I wasn't on it! This song was played almost everywhere I went as a kid!
I only know the song Bulletproof, which is an amazing song. I don't have tiktok, but glad it seems to be bringing back some hits people forgot about like Hip Hop Harry. I found that very amusing
Bulletproof was HOT before tiktok was even a thing
Yep and it didn’t need TikTok to be revived and listened to either, I still go back to this song with enthusiasm.
This, it was a hit years ago. And it doesn't need Tik Tok now either.
Yep
EXACTLY
No shit Sherlock it came out almost 10 years before tiktok
I used to have the skrillex remix of la roux's song 'in for the kill' on repeat 24/7 when i was like 12 years old
Oh hey Angelo ☺
oh hi there cant wait for the new video this weekend!
Bulletproof was my favourite song on Nintendo Wii karaoke when I was a kid. They displayed the music video as well and Ellie was the first androgynous female I ever saw, I remember being very impressed.
Great taste in music my guy
Imagine seeing you here😯
Bulletproof is a bop
Period
Is it weird that I think In For The Kill is a better song than Bulletproof? Maybe it's the 80s vibe that gets to me 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Yes!
Yep
Girlllll what happen too Flo rida, Keisha Cole, Macklemore, LMFAO, Far East movement...ADAM LAMBERT.
I think he did a video on LMFAO but I wanna know about the rest too
I didn't realize that the Original High was from 2015... Adam Lambert just released another album last March, I believe. Haven't listened to it yet, though.
Adam is with queen
adam recently released VELVET, great album and so underrated, really worth listening
Add hot chelle rae to that list too lmao
Whenever I hear bulletproof I want to cry. That song takes me back to when I was 14, living at home with my parents, playing IMVU and waiting for my mom to finish cooking. Now I’m 24, lost my mom, trying to become a adult. Wow.
omg i feel you exactly, i remember it on the radio when i would play imvu!!!
I’m so sorry for your Mom :/ may she SIP
Wow 😢
kay mills Thank you! ❤️
Daryns _world ❤️
she said “ bulletproof “ and dipped
She literally released her third album in December, she’s still around ☹️
Hella songs with Tyler the Creator too
Omg I always wondered what happened to La Roux. But allot of Artist hates their biggest hits.
"This time, Baby
I'll Be Bulletproof"
- LA Roux
Me when my ex-best friend sabotaged my career and I had to pick a new route.
I remember her being all over the radio in the UK, not sure if she was as big in America, In for the kill is my fav
Her song Bulletproof got big here in the states
@Bring Back KP, Animated Obviously /CrisisOnFire1977 we have a top 40 not a top 100 in a certain genre
Bullet proof was HUGE here in the US!! I think it came out my senior year in high school. Gooooooodd times!
She was big here in America, she was all over the radio and music channels in Mexico
@@Princemercury90 I was a freshman in high school when the song came out. Good times ❤

@@cawfee-pv9ib Sounds like she might be touring NEW music then as well 🤞
Ben Langmaid was her chief song-writer. When he left, she fizzled out. It's too bad they didn't stick together.
I'm proud of her standing up for herself. La Roux may not be as popular now, but sounds like she's where she wants to be.
i love bulletproof and let me down gently soooooooooooooooo much you cant believe
and its more than that... idk what is it but this woman has a very special place in my heart
french pitbull and scarlett johansson look great here
no shade, love them
I cant unsee it now
Ehh I don't really see it
I was just going to say he looks like pitbull 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀
😂
I didn't realise La Roux was a group, I thought it was just one chick!
I used to think she was a gay boy
Same
OFF GUN really I thought a gay girl lol but who are we to assume
@@offgun6466 what?!?
Now she is solo.
Her music was so timeless. She was literally ahead of our time.
She’s still around 😂
she released a new album tho
GG L o v e s g o r i l l a z & m j and she’s still ahead of our time with that album too

Those were the days LOL 😂

Her second album "Trouble in Paradise" is one of my all time favorite albums. I love listening to her song "Paradise is you" while driving along the ocean.
its so underrated 😭
SAME omg
That album is so mature and thought
Their first album was so good. Im Not Your Toy was my favorite song.
Oh my god that was in 2009...I would've said ohh yeah La Roux haven't seen them in 3-4 years 😂🤣
Seriously I think the 2010s were just like 3 years because it all just blurs in to one big thing
@@SuperNuclearUnicorn yes exactly :)
Her 2nd album "Trouble in paradise" is amazing. Sexotheque is that song.
I love that song such a catchy beat.
I love Uptight Downtown
And Cruel Sexuality 👌🏼
That album is phenomenal…every track is crazy good
I really was wondering about her *just now*
Mindblowing.
Same
you should do a video on Lily Allen.
just like La Roux, she is one of the most influential musicians of the British scene in the 00s.
does anyone feel me?
She was an icon
A thousand times yes. I loved her so much in 08/09 and had "Fuck You" on my myspace playlist. I dont know why she's so slept on these days but her biggest hits are all mostly from that time
She wrote a song on the bad person’s point of view in ‘Never gunna happen’ I love that one.
@@Introvertsan icon? Wtf!!
Still listening to La Roux today! She got bops after bops, some softer songs, sad song, feel good jams. She’s lovely! Colourless Color, As If By Magic, Tropical Chancer, Sexotheque, Otherside, Gullible Fool, He Rides. 💞
Do video on:
Tove lo
Alunageorge
yessss i love them!
faxxxxx

AlunaGeorge is still making music🤷🏻♀️
Kasumi aluna went solo. She has a song with Princess Nokia
TIGERLILY was he best song on the album & I'm so mad everyone slept on it.
Omggg yesss
AGREED
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT YES
YES
YASS!!
I listened to her like a week ago and I literally was like “Damn. Where is she? In 2012, she was everywhere.”
Nothing. Nothing happened to La Roux, she exists and is always relevant to meee
I literally got her recent album pre-ordered and the signed version ÙwÚ
Can you talk about marina(and the Diamonds) and why she couldn’t became as famous as Lana Del Rey?
This!!!
Shes Welsh, thats why. And probably too hot
Me here waiting for the “TigerLily” video 10 years later like 👁👄👁.
I'm listening to her music lately, thank you Honest for covering up this topic. Kindly listen to her albums, Trouble in Paradise & Supervision, please! She's still making good music.
Do "What Happened to Shontelle, Keri Hilson, Jordin Sparks, Leona Lewis?"
anf estelle
The Bey Hive happened to Keri Hilson.
Shontelle 😢
I’m so happy you did a video on them. I’ve been waiting for this!
Her third album is called Supervision, not Supernova!
When I tell you I clicked so fast, I was literally waiting for someone to do a video on her. Bulletproof & For the kill I still listen to today 💖😌
This song and “in for the kill” was on repeat for the longest!!!
Who else watches honests' video even when you have no idea who hes talking about lol
So trueee! I have no idea who she is
Maybe you are like 10-15 years old
Manuel Monge no, I have just never come across her music before 🙂
So you young young 😅
THANK YOU FOR FINALLY DOING THEM I WAS A HUGE FAN
Did you just call it a viral sensation on Tik Tok- 😭 It was viral years ago
Yes but it recently became viral on TikTok again.
I just listened to Bulletproof you psychic legend
i wish you mentioned i'm not your toy, that was one of my favorite songs from that time period and i remember it being pretty successful too! cool video
i love this series
I had no idea this was a group I’m so glad you did a video cause this girl comes across my mind
Bulletproof reminds me of my early college years soooo much. And driving around smoking weed with my friends. Great video 👏
omg i’ve been waiting for this video!
Omg thank u for this video! I’ve been a huge La Roux fan since 2012 and to this day I still support all of her projects. Supervision (her latest 2020 album) is a BOP.

I’m the one who commented on the monotone ‘certified bop’ and got a heart :)
La Roux’s self titled album was underrated. Colourless Colour will always be a BOP. Don’t even get me started on Bulletproof
I didn’t really know them like that, honestly I didn’t even know that they were a duo, I only knew the girl. But I loved bulletproof! It’s a great song. Hey honest, can you do a video on BLACKPINK please? I recently go into them and I would like your opinion on the group
Trouble in Paradise is one of my fav albums to this day it still rocks
I ranked Trouble in Paradise in my top 5 albums of the 2010s.
keep up the good work with your videos !
I LOVE Bulletproof. It is one of my all-time favourite songs from the 2000s. I put so many of my friends onto it and La Roux in general🔥
She came out when I was a junior in high school. Miss her music , thanks for this
La Roux has been one of my fave singers since 2009 yasss! I finally saw her in concert this February and she was AMAZING, it had been a dream of mine to see her live

I still listen to La Roux tropical chancer and let me down gently are some of my favorite songs
Bulletproof was THE most repetitive annoying song back then 😂 and they would play it on the radio every 5 minutes.
This time baby I’ll beeeeee Bulletproof!
*BRUH!* i deadass randomly thought of their song "bulletproof" the other day & this pops up on my feed omg lol that song was played 24/7. after all these years it's still lit AF & makes you happy #CLASSIC! #goodtimes
I’m glad she’s working somehow still. She seems really true to her art and just really laid back.
Can you do one of these on Tweet?
Honestly love finding out what happened to my old favorite artists I lost touch in 💕
Bulletproof is still so chilling to me when I hear it it's literally goosebumps. Absolutely loved her 80s sharp look with fiery hair. I wish the best for both of them in the future with whatever they venture into.

Omg I love La Roux!
I loved her music as a kid. Still listen to her stuff.
Omg i was literally thinking about la roux and what happened to her like last week! I was walking to work and ‘in for the kill’ popped into my head outta nowhere and made me wonder where she went so THANKS for this vid! 😁
omfg such a throwback
can you please make a video on lenka that every thing at once singer
When I was 18 (almost 11 years ago) I listened to her CD on repeat.
The title of this video triggered me back to 8th grade when my friend and I sang “Bulletproof” for the talent show. I am very uneasy
But “I’m not your toy” was a BOP
sad I missed this video! she’s one of my favorite artists :)
I still love Bulletproof to this day. I wish they put out more hits. They would have dominated the pop scene. 💥
I remember listening to bulletproof for the first time while ice skating! Crazy to think that was over a decade ago
this made me flashBACK i thought i was on top of the world when bulletproof came on
The song bullet proof began playing in my head, so I searched the lyrics and wound up here, I didn't even know the song was viral on tiktok a few years back because I wasn't on it!
This song was played almost everywhere I went as a kid!
Supervison is so 90's. I can't stop listening.
You should check her new album. It's called Supervision, and even though a lot of fans didn't like it, I think it's great.
im surprised not many liked it. it’s really top tier.
@@solaceseries it really is! He rides, Do you feel, International woman of leisure are all masterpieces in my book
I ask this same question every time they come on my Spotify shuffle playlist.
I’m glad Elly is making the kind of music she wants to make and staying true to herself. ❤️
I’m not kidding, I wanted to ask if you could make a video about her because I got back into her music again! Crazy coincidence
I don’t know how I missed this video. I loved her sound and was surprised she just disappeared. I still listen to Bullet Proof and I’m not your toy.
Okay I dont like this video
1. La Roux took breaks between the albums because her voice got messed up
2. Supervision, not supernova
la roux’s self titled album is still one of my favorites, i love all of the tracks
i'm not your toy and bulletproof are still bangers till this day
Nothing, she is still around. Fabulous as ever
Literally she was all I would listen to in 7th/8th grade. I love almost every song on her album.
Her song Bulletproof was my childhood!❤️
One of their newer songs was playing at my work today
I only know the song Bulletproof, which is an amazing song. I don't have tiktok, but glad it seems to be bringing back some hits people forgot about like Hip Hop Harry. I found that very amusing
I still remember singing to bulletproof in my moms car.
I remember back in the day I worked at Charlotte Russe and it felt like we played every La Roux song ever 🤣
bulletproof was honestly such a banger when i was a kid like turn that shit up i know ALL THE WORDS
I just remember seeing their thumbnail all over UA-cam.
She was amazing. Banging tunes.
She said "Bulleeeeeeetproof" and dipped.
Nothing "happened" to La Roux, she/they just weren't quite the era defining talent that some people - for a while - thought she was.
Same as Lorde.
I remember her from her collaboration with New Order on their 2015 album, Music Complete. Tutti Frutti is quite a bop
She dropped another album less than a year ago and both her self titled debut and trouble in paradise are bangers
I heard her for the first time when she performed on Ellen. Still listening to Bulletproof and In For The Kill all these years later.
Omg! I remember her. I immediately asked myself the same question when I saw the thumbnail lol good question. Totally forgot about her.
Still love her music!! I'm not your toy and kiss and not tell are my loves
