Girl please.....😊.....I absolutely love your reviews....even if I don't necessarily care for the song, I still watch just for your reaction.... but this one was an absolute favorite of mine.... first with Bonnie Raitt, and now Teddy Swims....its a timeless classic....keep doin what ya do....and thanks for always making my day a little better....
Teddy Swims has such an incredible voice. I've actually heard this cover before and it still surprises me. Tears, every time. It's so damn good and the lyrics just cut through me, man.
"There's sweat in my eyes - I'm not really crying."(!) I don't know if I've seen anybody else who can or does move his mouth sidewise while singing like Teddy does - I tried to do that and I cannot do it physically, almost like one would need a double jointed jaw bone- amazing sweet voice.
That "does not compute" look on your face when Teddy first starts singing is the same with just about every reactor and I love to see it. NOBODY expects a dude who looks like that to sing the way he does. He is one of the best artists I've heard in a while, so it's a joy to see you react to and experience his singing. Hope you react to more of his music. The depth and richness of his voice is palpable in everything he sings. Just amazing.
Seriously, who can deny Teddy Swim's version of this!? Crap! If you feel anything at all, you will feel this. ❤ If you don't feel it - check for a pulse.
i think this kind of singer is what this world is missing someone that puts there soul into there singing that when you hear them sing you can feel there pain in there voice it takes you on a voyage with them
Hey Britt, Thanks for reacting to this request. This guy is a genuine down to earth guy. I've actually had the privilege of exchanging text messages on several occasions with Teddy (His last name "Swims" stands for Someone Who Isn't Me Sometimes. Thanks again!\ Edit: By the way, Teddy's grandfather was a preacher, so he may have sung in a choir. But most of his talent came from the time he spent in theater and watching UA-cam videos to help fine-tune his skills. Bonnie Raitt sung the original of this song. It is based on a news article that one of the songwriters read about a man who want to court for shooting at his girlfriends car. The judge had asked him if "he had learned anything from this". The defendant responded, " I learned, your Honor, that you can't make a woman love you if she won't".
Here is a great chance for you to learn something about Rock music , or Blues music .. all you need to do is the learn the name Bonnie Raitt. Look her up .. choose any of her hits .. and then absorb her singing , and watch her guitar playing 🎸🤍🎸 .. this is an A+ cover , outstanding. Bonnie should be on your to-do list Britt ! 👑⭐️👑⭐️👑⭐️👑
Teddy is fantastic. I discovered him 5 years ago. Due to his viral success on UA-cam he signed a record deal and has since released new original music. Boy can sang.. not sing. Sang.. he's got that New Orleans French Quarter, down in the bayou type vibe.
Honey if you want to see Teddy swims, get in the car and drive out I20, he live right down the road in Conyers Georgia 😂❤🎉💕 although you may have to wait till he gets back from his world tour, the 2nd one 😮😂😅 💕
This guys voice is like a warm hug 🤗 so beautiful! I Would love to see you react to Alex Newell singing Independently owned. Different kind of song, but will blow your mind!
I went to, what I thought was a southern baptist revival meeting, once when I was a kid. My stepmother took me and my brothers to see one, if only once, for the experience. There was people who were rolling on the floor and jumping on the benches and there were some beautiful voices too. Good reaction. Thanks for sharing.
Every once in a while a song is written/produced/released with the hope that someday it will be sung/covered by the person it was truly meant for. This, right here is (imho) one of those moments.😲🤩😎🤗🫶🏻
I always loved this song from Bonnie raitt but OMG he I never really listened to it deeply until he did it and OMG how incredibly deep it hits, his music has touched me deeply in ways I didn't imagine
Excellent version, but the WORDS!! They were written by Mike Reid, former All-Pro Defensive Lineman for the Cincinnati Bengals in the early 1970s. He retired to focus on his other love, music. A brilliant composer and talented pianist/musician. It was co-written with Allen Shamblin. Just giving them the credit they so richly deserve, also. A classic!!
Bonnie had a hard time singing this first time on stage because it's a emotional song and requires it. Like Bonnie original. George Michael also nailed it vocally and emotionally. Teddy here did excellent job
It’s a Bonnie Raitt song from 1991. Love Bonnie, Love Teddy as well ! 😁 Check out Teddy Swims covering the old Bill Wither tune, “Use Me”. It’s fantastic!!
He has such a great voice ... and this is one of my all-time favorite songs! The original is amazing too, but the song itself is gorgeous. I would love to see you listen to "911" too though, lol.
[EDIT] Deacon Note Situation. LOVE that. *** Love the Good Work that you and yours puts out.... We come to see react to connect. This song slays me everytime. Danke Bae to ja and yours.
Teddy has church influence along with god’s gift. He has many songs. This is the kind of singer you need to share with family and friends. He does many covers but he also has his own songs. He and Allan Stone do Hall and Oats Sara Smiles. He kills journey songs.
I grew up in a white Baptist church (though anyone was welcome, it was just hidden in a tiny corner of a tiny town), & our pastor, his wife, his sister, & her husband had a group that could sing. They didn't bring all the soul like a black Baptist church, but we were certainly hand raising & waving, praising Jesus, taking it to Him sister, so I know some of what you mean! I saw him on a podcast & was shocked to hear that he said he can't actually sing that good, that he learned to & uses autotune... but who doesn't now? That's why I respect old singers SO much. They just HAD to be good!
Girrrl you is funny! I LOVE WATCHING U!! Ooowee you made me laugh today! Rib fallin off the bone! THAT'S RITE! HE CAAAAN SANG, that's fo sho! and I loved watching you listen to the Carpenters. I LOVE KC!
Hey Britt, I knew you would love this song! Dang….been waiting 2weeks for you to listen to this. And others agreed with me. The way I first heard this was laying in bed late one night, thinking of my me and my lady maybe being over….I’m a 58yrs young white English guy dating an African Drama Princess (originally from Zimbabwe). We both live in Perth-Western Australia. Btw, You are so funny and beautiful. Keep up the good work!!💙
This is good but personally I like Bonnie Raitts version better. What a fantastic line " you can't make your heart feel something it wont". The final realization that its just not going to happen. Maybe the most heartbreaking line ever.
They are both great.. I like this live version of Bonnie Raitt the best.. She has Bruce Hornsby on the piano.. Apparently they played together a lot. ua-cam.com/video/ZTIu4UbkK94/v-deo.html

thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! have a great day!
Bonnie Raitt did this many years ago. Teddy is from Georgia and played football before launching a singing career.
after Bonnie, George Michael did this cover @@brittreacts
I have always loved the original of this song. This song is so sexy and sensual. Gorgeous!
It's a Bonnie Raitt song written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin. This dude was born with more than his share of SOUL.
Teddy Swims has such an incredible voice. I've actually heard this cover before and it still surprises me. Tears, every time. It's so damn good and the lyrics just cut through me, man.
he is so good!!
"There's sweat in my eyes - I'm not really crying."(!) I don't know if I've seen anybody else who can or does move his mouth sidewise while singing like Teddy does - I tried to do that and I cannot do it physically, almost like one would need a double jointed jaw bone- amazing sweet voice.
@@mitcht2717 This is going to be a really weird reference, but it makes me think of Tommy Davidson's impression of Sammy Davis Jr. lol
Teddy Swims vibrato is off the charts. This song was recorded first by Bonnie Raitt!
truly! and thanks for the info!
This is a limp attempt at covering it also.
That "does not compute" look on your face when Teddy first starts singing is the same with just about every reactor and I love to see it.

Hope you react to more of his music. The depth and richness of his voice is palpable in everything he sings. Just amazing.
It's not just his voice, it's how he uses it. Totally into the lyrics and the emotion of the song, with a little blues and a touch of gospel.
Seriously, who can deny Teddy Swim's version of this!? Crap! If you feel anything at all, you will feel this. ❤ If you don't feel it - check for a pulse.
Bonnie Raitt was the original
thanks for letting me know! I will keep that in mind!
The texture.
This is a great performance, but Bonnie's version hits me in the feels.
@brittreacts but it was recently made famous by Adelle
Was written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin, made famous by Bonnie Raitt.
This is my favorite song .
I never heard him sing this song .
You get a 100% for this Great reaction .
Always fun watching your reaction. You're so expressive. Adorable.
I loved your reaction "ribs falling off the bone, tender, marinated...Teddy Swims rendition of this song just touches my heart...🥰🤓
I absolutely love him his voice is so beautiful

His voice is exceptional and he can sing to me anytime!!!💕💕💕🎵🎼🎶🎸🎤🎙🎹🥁🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

Incredible.. cover...he had me from the start 2019.

Bonnie Raitt, 1991.
From an old 73-year-old white guy from Texas, I just love your reviews and you are cuter than a speckled pup.
Teddy was a football player in college also did musical theatre. His grandfather was a pastor in a church in Atlanta Georgia.
Swims is the man, btw, you're drop dead gorgeous ❤
First time hearing Teddy Swims…..
Wow!
Good you finally got to this video. Hes an amazing singer!
Teddy Swims could sing the phone book and make it a Grammy hit lol
Never heard of him but WOW just WOW!!!❤
Love his voice, so tender in this song👍🏻🎶
Teddy is fantastic. I discovered him 5 years ago. Due to his viral success on UA-cam he signed a record deal and has since released new original music. Boy can sang.. not sing. Sang.. he's got that New Orleans French Quarter, down in the bayou type vibe.
Her eyes got so wide when she 1st heard his voice😂😅
Girl you’re a trip , your facial expressions puts a smile on my face , love all your reactions .
Honey if you want to see Teddy swims, get in the car and drive out I20, he live right down the road in Conyers Georgia 😂❤🎉💕 although you may have to wait till he gets back from his world tour, the 2nd one 😮😂😅 💕
Marvelous cover!! I knew you’d love this!! 😊
yes it is!
This song is a heartbreaker and done by Bonnie Raitt in the 90’s.
'Ribs fallin off the bone' is exactly the phrase I needed when describing this voice to people, thank you
I have called in LOVE with this man’s VOICE!!!!🫳🏾🎤
Best review of this amazingly talented man I’ve seen, but your voice is unbelievably amazing on its own
I love Teddy’s cover of “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi. I always recommend checking that one out.
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
This guys voice is like a warm hug 🤗 so beautiful! I Would love to see you react to Alex Newell singing Independently owned. Different kind of song, but will blow your mind!
Amen sister, that boy can sang. Keep the music coming.
I went to, what I thought was a southern baptist revival meeting, once when I was a kid. My stepmother took me and my brothers to see one, if only once, for the experience. There was people who were rolling on the floor and jumping on the benches and there were some beautiful voices too. Good reaction. Thanks for sharing.
This man can sing. My thoughts exactly :)
I believe his daddy is a pastor. He's from around ATLANTA Georgia. He done a Cover of Chris Stapleton.
"make you feel my love' is a sweet Dylan cover by Teddy with a little less pain.
Teddy Swims + Allen Stone “Sarah Smile” cover is insane if you have not seen it yet.
I can’t wait for her to see this. She’s gonna melt.
just rewatched this video going down a Sunday night music rabbit hole and off topic, just have to say I love your nails 😊
I so love your reactions.....you are really special
Luv your description references to church and food! We are tasting with our ears and SOUL!
Every once in a while a song is written/produced/released with the hope that someday it will be sung/covered by the person it was truly meant for. This, right here is (imho) one of those moments.😲🤩😎🤗🫶🏻
Him and Allen Stone always make a great pair to listen to as well.
This is the song that brought me to this amazing man!
I always loved this song from Bonnie raitt but OMG he I never really listened to it deeply until he did it and OMG how incredibly deep it hits, his music has touched me deeply in ways I didn't imagine
What a gorgeous voice!
BDW U my Lady RR gorgeous❤🎉and Teddy has His soul on the mike😮

Props
LOL I had to rush right in when I saw you were reacting to Teddy Swims....lol. Your face was priceless lol
Girl, your reactions are the best. Love how you appreciate all kinds of music and talent. Keep it up
If you haven't before you should check out Teddy Swims and Allen Stone and their cover of Hall and Oats song Sara Smile.
Bonnie Raitt is who I know it by and her song “Angel from Montgomery” is my favorite.
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
Great reaction Britt. Wow what a great singer!!!
Damn, loved that rib analogy. Tasty reaction and great cover by Teddy. Glad to see u found it. Prob my fav from him. Hugs. Mark
Great reaction Britt! Such a beautiful voice and technique! So unexpected.
Bonnie had a hard time singing this first time on stage because it's a emotional song and requires it. Like Bonnie original. George Michael also nailed it vocally and emotionally. Teddy here did excellent job
So glad you listened to all of us who suggested you listen to this song.
The Man can sing !!!
Comparing the slow cooked song to perfectly smoked ribs makes you a country Angel... loved it...
This girl is so silly!! And I love it 😅
I told you, Britt. Dunno if you recall, but I definitely did. Teddy can SANG ❤
Awesome reaction!! Love from Norway❤
thank you so much! he is great!
@@brittreacts 😊👍
Love this song, artist and you!❤
It’s a Bonnie Raitt song from 1991. Love Bonnie, Love Teddy as well ! 😁 Check out Teddy Swims covering the old Bill Wither tune, “Use Me”. It’s fantastic!!
My favorite version of this song. Unique reaction.
Check out his bill withers cover. You will be completely floored! Oh, and by the way, he covers Shania too😎
Church indeed ❤
Much love for you girl ❤😊
I could listen to Teddy's version of this song over and over 💜
Loved your reaction..!!!!
Lol you funny how you can do the jaw face. And yes that breathy rasp is amazing
Go on girl you can sing for real ☺️
This song has helped me get to where I was trying to get to if you get my meaning
Marinated, smoked, fall off the bone tender. I love the way you think!
Thanks a heap girl, now I HUNGRY😂
Your voice is beautiful also. And yes Teddy is off the charts awesome. I would love to hear a Teddy Swims and Chris Stapleton duet.
He has such a great voice ... and this is one of my all-time favorite songs! The original is amazing too, but the song itself is gorgeous. I would love to see you listen to "911" too though, lol.
Grammy worthy !!!
[EDIT] Deacon Note Situation. LOVE that. *** Love the Good Work that you and yours puts out.... We come to see react to connect. This song slays me everytime. Danke Bae to ja and yours.
His rendition of this song..... I was annoyed by another cover to this song until I watched the video. Beautiful.
I remember this song from the movie Duets
Thank you for doing this one, Britt.
Describing his voice as "like ribs falling off the bone" is perfect
I was waiting for you to react to Teddy! lol You didn't disappoint! Thanks!
Teddy has church influence along with god’s gift. He has many songs. This is the kind of singer you need to share with family and friends. He does many covers but he also has his own songs. He and Allan Stone do Hall and Oats Sara Smiles. He kills journey songs.

They just HAD to be good!
I've only ever heard Bonnie Raitt sing this song (and she's incredible), but wow! Swims knocked this out of the park! ❤
A "deacon note"????😅
Love it! And sooo true!
Can I get an amen?
Girrrl you is funny! I LOVE WATCHING U!! Ooowee you made me laugh today! Rib fallin off the bone! THAT'S RITE! HE CAAAAN SANG, that's fo sho! and I loved watching you listen to the Carpenters. I LOVE KC!
Oh you got me when you told Teddy to spot it !😂
Ren, brought me to your channel and now this is another fantastic artist I will follow.
"make you feel my love' is a sweet Dylan cover with a a little less pain.
Hey Britt, I knew you would love this song! Dang….been waiting 2weeks for you to listen to this. And others agreed with me.

thank you so much! glad you enjoyed the video!
Teddy is awesome!
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣
thank you!
This is good but personally I like Bonnie Raitts version better.
What a fantastic line " you can't make your heart feel something it wont".
The final realization that its just not going to happen. Maybe the most heartbreaking line ever.
They are both great.. I like this live version of Bonnie Raitt the best.. She has Bruce Hornsby on the piano.. Apparently they played together a lot.
ua-cam.com/video/ZTIu4UbkK94/v-deo.html
"I will lay down my heart, and I'll feel the power... but you won't" took me down.
One of my favs. 🔥
glad you enjoyed it!
He caress the words
