David was an incredible talent. Singer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist. He is sorely missed.
truly!
Cooler than any of us will ever be. One of the coolest of all time.
@@brittreacts OBVIOUSLY, he IS cool as he was born and raised just 2 miles from me in South East London, and then both our Parents made the traditional move to South East London. County of Kent Suburbs, so again, we lived near each other....lol
Best friends with Peter Frampton, who you must watch LIVE. They went to Art College together.
David had a different persona almost every year and made an extraordinary record "Black Star" where the video anticipates his imminent death
You forgot actor… the labyrinth was my favorite movie as a kid and Bowie never failed to terrify my 5 yr old little mind 😄
@@brittreacts Read my comment below 😉
David Bowie was an English singer-songwriter & actor. He constantly reinvented himself to stay current over nearly 5 decades. His first big hit was "Space Oddity" in 1969. He has had a lot of great songs including "Ziggy Stardust", "Starman", "Rebel Rebel", "Young Americans", "Changes", "Fame", "Heroes", "Golden Years", "Ashes To Ashes", "Under Pressure", Let's Dance", "Modern Love", "China Girl" etc.
thanks for the info!
@@brittreacts You may have heard "Heroes", at least in part. It has been in a few shows and movies, and the occasional sports broadcasts.
Ashes to Ashes is a sequel to Space Oddity. Under Pressure was created with Queen.
Some great lesser noticed ones are Wild is the Wind, Lady Grinning Soul, Quicksand, and the theme song from Cat People movie.
Under Pressure w/ Queen is a must-react!! :)
Bowie is great live but the studio version of this is a classic.
The studio version to this is probably one of my top 2 from Bowie.
Mine, too. It's such an incredible song.
The original version is by far the better one.
@@SPKdesign1 Yes, David's older and singing in a lower register in this. The original recording would've blown her away.
same here
This starts in the middle of the song. The studio version is on the excellent Hunky Dory album.
David Bowie was an absolute genius! From the 1960's until his early death in 2016, he re-invented himself numerous times and wrote the most incredible songs for himself and others. He was an absolute one off and I'm really sad that there there will be no more music from him, but I'm thankful he left behind such a unique and unmatchable back catalogue.
he is amazing!
Bowie was from South London, England. He has dozens of incredible songs for you to check out. This is a pared down version of one of his early classics. In England he's as highly regarded as anyone, including other English greats like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd
He was the ultimate Mr Cool. Re-invented himself every couple of years. Influenced a couple of generations of musicians, and fashion too.
that is so interesting, had to stay relevant w how fast the music scene changes ig!
Another things that's so amazing about him, through all the reinventions he was never the follower. He was the leader. Some of his most famous songs are Space Oddity, Ziggy Stardust, Starman, Rebel Rebel, Young American, Golden Years, Heroes, Ashes to Ashes. All are completely different. A deeper track I think you'd like is "Right" his mantra to positive thinking inspired by Philly Soul with a young Luther Vandross on the background vocals.
@@brittreacts The music scene had to keep up with Bowie. :)
"Fashion, turn to the left
Fashion, turn to the right
Ooh fashion"
David Bowie "This man" lol welcome to the rabbit hole. He's one of the most influential artist in modern history. You'll love him.
You're right. David Bowie was cooler than you'll ever be. But then, he was cooler than anybody else will ever be. That was one cool dude. I miss him so much.
Nobody could ever be as cool as Bowie... said everybody, always, forever. This was only half the song, for some reason. Lots of goodness, and so much variety, in Bowie's career. Keep going.
he is great!
Cool is the perfect word. A man who constantly renewed himself, his style, his voice, his songs. Absolutely one of a kind. His life was one long production. When I saw who you were going to hear I thought oh she’s gonna LOVE him.
Ride on sister. David Bowie is pretty well known Artist, with a capital A.
haha thank u!
Bowie acted as well. He was in Labrynth which was kind of an '80s version of the Wizard of Oz.
Also, 'The Man Who Fell To Earth'.
...and 'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence' opposite Ryuichi Sakamoto (recently deceased) and British actor Tom Conti.
Let's not forget 'The Hunger'! 😉
He also played Andy Warhol in 'Basquiat', iirc.
Just rembered he had a (small) part in the 'Twin Peaks' series
Glad you want to hear more. He only has about 40 other hit songs lol .
He ran in a very small league .( Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince and David Bowie maybe a couple other but not many)
My favorite song by him would be Hero's, Modern love, Ziggy, Reble Reble and Sufigine City
But he was super talented.
Enjoy the ride.😊
haha thank you!
Taste is a strange thing, none of these three other artistes you mentioned are anywhere near bowies level imo, they're just pop stars and Bowie was an actual artist
@@xmathmanx I just mentioned in amounts of hits and sales that's all.
I'd never take anything from David's talents he is one of my favorite artists ever.
@@xmathmanx They didn't mention Freddie, who was, and thankfully they made one song together.
@@treetopjones737 freddie was barely an artist
We all can notice you are very good singing and that you know what you're talking about when you make your comments (meaning you have knowledge and a background on singing and music).
I think we all would LOVE (I definitely would) to watch a video of YOU singing and also telling us about your singing background.
😉☺️🙏🏼
I ask everyone who reads this comment to please put a "like" on it if you agree with me on this special petition so that Britt can see how many of us wishes the same as I do. 😉
@3:28 "never reach this level of cool" IDK 100,000 subscribers in only a few months seems pretty damn cool.
"Impressive. Very impressive." Britt has a wonderful charisma.
hello,im a 62 year old guy herein the UK, got my first Bowie album for my 10th birthday and still tothis day listen to this iconic genius. your reaction was lovely to see. you mentioned you like what david was wearing,,,my god you havent seen anything yet.Google Bowies photos from the early 70s etc,and if you like his vocals just listen to any track he recorded,,,but treat yourself to listening to the WHOLE ,,Young Americans album,,you are in for a massive treat,,take care,,Tony
This is the only case of a song tune with the same chord progressions becoming a hit three times with entirely different lyrics. The original song was a French hit. The next was Frank Sinatra's "My Way." The third was Bowie's "Life on Mars."
He is such an enigmatic and influential character and he was always himself even though he had all these phases he went through and even different personas, like Ziggy Stardust for example. He really influenced both music and style. He was good friends with John Lennon also. In fact they worked and performed on the hit song Fame together.
David had a wonderful and very unique singing voice, one of the best. I would maybe have a listen to Wild is the Wind (the full version).
YOU are hitting all the correct notes today!!! You're right - he's the coolest. He was so secure in his talent that he never allowed success to govern the direction of his career. Several times, he turned his back on things most artists would die to have once in their career only to re-invent himself as something even more interesting and relevant. He's definitely one of the most influential artists of all time. Just don't judge him by one song - those from another time in his career have a completely different sound and appeal to a whole different audience. Besides all that.....any dude lucky enough to marry Iman has to be the embodiment of cool.
Iman - have to agree, one of the great super models of the 70's/80's.
That was only half of the song. Other Bowie; Space Oddity, Changes, Modern Times and my Favorite Bewlay Brothers…
Yeah, what the heck was that?
David Bowie is cooler than any of us will ever be! Love this reaction to one the of the greatest artists of all time
After the Beatles, Bowie had the biggest influence on British if not world music, His ability to re invent his self from Ziggy to the Thin White Duke always made every anticipated release of his a high light of the year. My favourite song of all time has been and will remain Young Americans which evokes so many memories of my teenage years.
RIP David
Heroes
Starman
Space Oddity
Ashes to Ashes
Let’s Dance
Modern Love
Ziggy Stardust
….there are so many!
He was not classically trained. He started out as a singer for small bands in London and writing English lyrics for foreign songs, but then he hit the big time with his glam rock band “The Spiders from Mars”.
Bowie was a fashion trendsetter. Both his wives were models and he even produced fashion shows in ny city.
Hi Britt, he had an amazing voice. In my opinion the best of any singer ever. He could also completely change his voice into other people and imitate them. I saw him 3 times in concerts. Other great songs to react to are: Wild is the Wind, Space Oddity and Slip Away. But there are many and they are all great. No he had no classical training with his voice. He was born with it. 😉 His mother used to sing in the kitchen when he was small. But he was able to play 14 instruments. 😮He was also acting in many movies, he was a painter and also a sculpturist. 🙂 I hope to see you to react to more of him.
Legend. Top end musical talent.....song after song of his is just brilliant listening. RIP Mr Bowie, you did good
You are correct David Bowie was Cool! Heroes, Changes, Starman, Ziggy Stardust, Fame, Let's Dance, Young Americans..the list is endless.
David Bowie was his own genre🥰
David crossed so many lines throughout his very impressive career, that it becomes impossible to contain his work in any particular genre. His abilities as both a vocalist and songwriter were indeed out of this world 🌎. He was a legendary talent, and he is truly missed by so many music lovers.
RIP Mr. Bowie. 🎼♥️
✌🏼😎
David Bowie was an incredible singer. One of those greatest.
David Bowie is a LEGEND. My youngest (now 25 y/o) discovered him after watching the movie Labyrinth. He inspired them to be free and live their truth. He was one of a kind, many times over, with each re-invention of himself. An extraordinary human being.
I was lucky enough to have seen David Bowie four times, and it was always amazing. His stage performances are very theatrical. In 1987, while in line for the Glass Spider concert, we met a girl who was at the concert alone so she kind of stayed close to our group. It was an all day event and she wandered off, but we would see her from time time time throughout the day. After The Georgia Sattelites and Duran Duran, we moved to the front of the stage for Bowie's part of the show and this girl made her way down and we were all watching the start of the show. After a few songs, Bowie noticed the girl in the crowd and got one of his roadies to get her on stage, and she was freaking out. Shaking and crying and falling down. They start the next song and Bowie is dancing with her and singing to her and she's loving it. And then he grabbed her inappropriately and she slapped him!! And the dancing gets more intense and that was when we realized that it was all part of the show. Hours ahead of time, she was meeting people like us in the line up and being social with everyone so that we would remember her and thirty five years later we are still talking about it.
Brit, you are an awesome reaction talent. Your eyes light up very soon in this one as you note that Bowie is something quite special.
Funny you mention he sounds as if he is telling a story. He always did! This video track is off his MTV Story Tellers presentation on which every song and personal story is pure gold!!
He was so cool, with range and talents. In terms of pure "cool" only a few attain that: Dean Martin (The King of Cool), Elvis, and Prince.
Thanks as always for your awesome contribution. The best to you and all your audience!
Great reaction Britt. He was a brilliant singer/songwriter who sadly passed in January of 2016. When I heard the news it quite literally took my breathe away. He is not of this world. Check out the whole Spiders From Mars album along with his many classic albums. I miss him like a family member to this day.
The way you decribe Bowie is so spot on because he always seemed from a different plant to me❤
Please go down the David Bowie worm hole!!!
Amazing how this man reinvented himself so many times throughout his career. One of my favorite songs is Moonage Daydream; the guitar solo by Mick Ronson is crazy.
I saw him at Massachusetts Foxboro stadium back in 1990. There will never be another Bowie. Love your react vids Britt. Keep up the good work. :)
Lazarus (and his whole last album, Blackstar) is amazing. He made the album when he was dying of cancer. It came out, I believe, on his birthday and a couple of days before he died.
Was lucky enough to see David during his Station to Station tour. It was as a life experience. I've seen hundreds of concerts, most were iconic artist, David Bowie was one of the very very best. You would enjoy Aurora's interpretation of this beautiful song.
You have just reacted to genius!! David's back catalogue is huge and I'm sure you will enjoy exploring this most unique artist. Take care.
This is another rabbit hole,,, Mr bowie was a legend,, he wrote some of the most iconic songs of his generation..
A unique and true artist loved by many.....✌️ I would recommend ( star man )
Amazing artist in every way exploring different lifestyles and genres of music as he wrote some amazing songs. His lyrics are so amazing as they have deep content , yet his musical composition is astounding. As other's have said he reinvented himself every few years. He was married to a fashion model since you spoke of his fashion. His widow is Iman.
my top 5 David Bowie songs:
---------------------------------------------
5. Magic Dance
4. Heroes
3. Space Oddity
2. Under Pressure (with Queen)
1. I'm Afraid of Americans
Honorable Mention: "Little Fat Man"
Bowie was in a class of his own
Years ago his wife, Iman, was on the Oprah show. Oprah asked her "what's David Bowie really like?" Iman replied "He's the coolest man on the planet."
David Bowie was one of a kind! Love forever💛🧡❤💖
Under Pressure w/ Queen, Modern Love, Let's Dance, Changes, Rebel Rebel, The Man Who Sold the World (although I prefer Nirvana's cover but both good) are the others I like from him.
Weird. He sang only the second half of the song. (edited typo)
OBVIOUSLY, he IS cool as he was born and raised just 2 miles from me in South East London, and then both our Parents made the traditional move to South East London. County of Kent Suburbs, so again, we lived near each other....lol
Best friends with Peter Frampton, who you must watch LIVE. They went to Art College together.
David had a different persona almost every year and made an extraordinary record "Black Star" where the video anticipates his imminent death
I was hoping for the original video from the early 70's, the song is a bit longer, with a beautiful string arrangement, and I recommend you check it out. This was a lovely live version, and the stripped down aesthetic works quite nicely here, with Bowie giving it a new mature, reflective take. He was truly brilliant and ever changing. And his fashion sense was always worth noting!
One of my favorite Bowie songs is perhaps one of the most overlooked: Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud. It's also a great vocal performance.
This was also a great performance, but it's just a small fraction of the song.
yes Bowie! try Space Oddity too
You will come under the spell of Bowie,all us girls do.Super cool.super talented super handsome. BOWIE IS BEST❤ Fame .Golden years .Wild is the wind .Diamond dogs .Pretty things .
Had the privilege to see him live twice. What a voice!!!!
Love Bowie. Listen to all of his stuff - I recommend the studio versions.
You are right. You will never reach his level of coolness. Neither will I. Neither will anybody. ✌
haha true!
You're not alone. David Bowie is cooler than any of us will ever be. And we'll have to live with that.
The epidemy of a musical artist!!
That whole Story Tellers set is great.
One of England's best, singer, songwriter , musician, and actor.
Yep Britt, Bowie is all time cool--very astute you picked that up instantly! He was also a talented actor--you may like some of his movies too.
Good to hear the origional. The aurora cover is on the brain and its cool going back to the classic
I was born in the mid 80's so I wasn't around at the "height" of his career, even though he created music throughout his life until his untimely death. That being said....even I could recognize that David Bowie was the epitome of "cool" in his heyday. He transcends genres constantly throughout his career so there's always a little something new to hear. He even made being androgynous "cool." And I don't want that to sound insulting to anyone....be whatever you want to be, as long as you aren't harming anyone....but Bowie was just something else. And on top of that, he didn't take crap from anybody. He stood tall and said "love me or hate me, this is what you get." He didn't actually "say" that, but you get my point. Love your stuff, Britt! Keep the dream alive!
Absolute legend, coolest human being ever to walk the earth
Bowie's lyrics and dense with meaning and often have very obscure references from literature (including Science Fiction) , esoteric writings, poetry etc.
So much good Bowie music out there
When I was a kid, 15 or 16, I was skateboarding through Philly where I grew up, around Rittenhouse square I came around a corner and there was David Bowie getting into a car. I immediately stopped and said "Holy shit, you're David Bowie" he smiled and said "You've sussed me copper" and got into the car.. took me a long time to figure out what that meant but I'll never forget it.
Great things to watch:
Under Pressure, with Freddy Mercury.
The Man who Sold the World (amazing hook)
Let's Dance, Modern Love. Not my favorite songs of his, but they were on HEAVY repeat on MTV and are basically the aural wallpaper of my youth.
I'm Afraid of Americans, with Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails). One of his many amazing reinventions.
Lazarus. David Bowie's final performance, knowing he was dying of cancer. I cannot watch this video without sobbing.
You should listen to him sing space oddity its very good Britt! and also you have your own very high level of cool !
I should be focusing on Bowie but you are stunning girl from your fellow sister 🤩 I love how you describe him. No classical training. All natural. I didn’t think those things when I first heard him. I just thought. He’s cool I’m buying his cd.
Aurora does a magnificent, solo piano with vocal. you will be very happy to hear
I love it ❤️🔥
Legend!! The best
Please check out Aurora covering David Bowie life on Mars. A whole different feel😊 to the song she doesn't amazing God of recreating
Saludos desde España, aunque no entiendo ingles . Me gusta la música de David Bowie y Neil Diamond
Golden Years will showcase his vocals and how talented he was
The video you watched started halfway through the song. Amazing lyricist.
Rip David a great artist.❤
The music video is fab. Enjoyed.
Bowie was an original, an innovator, a free thinker with rock solid values AND fearless with it (check out his MTV interview in the 80s). He also showed people across the planet that it was totally OK not to conform yet to be true to oneself. All that on top of his wonderful music and lyrics.
You'll get this with tons of artists, but David Bowie's one who you should really dive in on, one of the all-time greats and arguably the greatest solo artist of all time. This song had been inspired by a woman named Hermione Farthingale who David had fallen in love with when he'd been young, and her perspective on how many beings who are different from most are treated in this strange world which we live on. Do we notice mothers, dogs, and clowns? Is there life on Mars? David's piano arrangement had been based on a song which is known as My Way by Frank Sinatra. David had worked for a music publishing company and attempted to rewrite a French song, Comme d'habitude by Claude François, in English. His attempt had been rejected by that company, and Jimmy Webb's attempt, My Way, had been offered to Frank Sinatra and immortalized in music history. David had written this song in an afternoon and released it in 1971 on his fourth album, Hunky Dory. It had been his favorite song of his career.
David hadn't received professional vocal training. Famously, he'd recorded most vocals of his songs in one or two takes. He'd had a vocal range of around six octaves. While he's mostly recognized for characters of his voice, his fashion sense, and his adaptability as an artist, he'd been an extraordinary vocalist, and an even greater songwriter and lyricist. You'll really love him, especially when you hear combinations of all kinds of songs on his albums, singles and deep cuts.
I recommend reacting to these four performances of his to get you started on his discography:
Space Oddity (live, The 1980 Floor Show, 1973)
m.ua-cam.com/video/0iLoJMfNQSQ/v-deo.html
Word on a Wing (live, Vancouver rehearsal 1976)
m.ua-cam.com/video/EiXLi90kB1g/v-deo.html
Blackout (live, 1978)
m.ua-cam.com/video/eo_vAVCHx4I/v-deo.html
As the World Falls Down [Movie Version]
m.ua-cam.com/video/DELxlEftkTQ/v-deo.html
He'll always stun you with how cool he is!!! Best journey as you listen to him!!! 👨🏼🎤💙
Find 'Heroes'..live in Berlin....amazing performance....
I love Mike Garson on piano, I think Bowie murmurs, "Thanks, Michael," at the end. Check out his dizzying avant-something solo on Bowie's 'Aladdin Sane'.
Other personal faves? Everything everyone else chose plus:
What In the World
Diamond Dogs
Boys Keep Swinging (SNL version)
Kooks
Loving the Alien
Criminal World
Hang On to Yourself
Rock'n'roll Star.
That should add up to a damn good start, enjoy the journey. 🖖😘🎶💃😒🕊
I miss David a lot, he was one of the most influential artists of the 70's and 80's. With a feel for the taste of the time, always right at the front. And he was such a poet. For a lot of people was this man the soundtrack of their life.
I couldn't listen to his last album and especially the title "Lazarus" for a long time without bursting into tears.
If you're tough listen to the title, if not, don't.
He was for the most part a self-taught musician, although he had some vocal coaching in the 70's where he learned how to sing from his diaphragm. His powerful vocals were strong to the end. His range was amazing for a pop star. Give Wild is The Wind a try from the same concert.
And for the record...no one will ever be Bowie cool 😉
He's very fashionable, but one cool thing he had no control over. Look close, his eyes are different colors, one brown, one blue.
that is so cool!
His eyes aren't different colors. One eye is damaged and has a permanently dilated pupil because of a childhood fight.
Hi , as one here that Enjoyed David's work I Would like to suggest to you from the Movie Labyrinth ( Falling in Love )
It truly is A Cult Classic Warmest Regards from the Sunshine State of Florida the USA 🌞 like button has been Illuminated 😁
How can you not have heard of David Bowie????
You could spend the rest of the year listening just to him.
You have to do the studio version and the video he filmed in the very early 70s for it to appreciate his audio and visual artistic brilliance. This is only a clip of the song, not the full song...also no reaction channel is doing his song "Sweet Thing/ Candidate/ Sweet Thing Reprise". That's a brilliant one if you want a good sample of the edgy 70s Bowie...
See the talent that south london produces? Yes David Bowie was one of the very coolest people to walk the planet. Peace out.
One of the greatest albums ever recorded is Bowie's _Scary Monsters_ . Check out the song, _Fashion_ , off it and some other songs in general would be _Dead Man Walking_ , _Fame_ , _The Hearts Filthy Lesson_ .
this is a top 5 of all time song
Nae worries bout cool. You are cool enough, lassie!😊 Big hugs for the reaction. I love ❤Bowie. Take care.
♥ the Alien - you should see the official video - it's from another planet - goosebumps guaranteed
