Thanks for the ideas man!!!!!!
@@MrVideo123 nah, THANK YOU! 💯✊🏾
I love both of these channels.
I have an idea for a new reaction channel. I am working on it with my nephew. Nobody else is doing anything like it. I've looked and can't find anything that is even close to the idea.
We are hoping to get it started in February or March after I get my EP released and have a little more time.
kind of looking forward to joining the "reaction channels" family.
Don't know why I felt compelled to even post this, but there it is...
@@HalfAndJai Hey there, you two! 🥰
@@brettmason1666 Good luck! 👍🏼
Vanilla Ice actually got sued for using that without permission. Queen definitely did it first.
It was eventually dropped due to the 1 note from a cymbal
@@TheGoodReverendSatan No, they settled out of court.
Actually it's David Bowie's song.
@@radiohix And Suge Knight own Ice Ice Baby, or Death Row do.
When Suge Knight Left Vanilla Ice 'Very Scared'

Watching vanilla ice explain the difference is hilarious!!!
Can you imagine any scenario where Queen and/or Bowie would ever even be influenced by Vanilla Ice let alone rip him off? LOL
Not even in Bizarro World would that be possible.
I bet they wanted to do a shug knight on vanillas azz when they found out he stoke their music.
Hysterical even....
😂😂 true that
lol honestly
If there is ever any doubt always know Queen did it first.
Queen is the Simpsons of rock. They always did it first
Yup. Without any doubt.
Damn skippy.
For sure they did!!😁😁👍
They sued and i believe won. Obviously stolen
There's nothing better than watching someone experience great music.
Yeah but unfortunately this bloke kept clowning around rather than appreciating one of the all time great songs, shame for him really.
I love your reactions!!!!!
@@ajvindiesel8517 Come on, he’s having fun with it. That’s the whole point of rock ‘n roll.
Facts
@@ajvindiesel8517 I call that vibing
Vanilla Ice straight up stole that lick.
Now they're both singing this in heaven, RIP both of them. The short period they walked on this planet they wrote music-history and forever live on in our memories as they are legends now and legends will never die!
There’s a video of Annie Lennox and David Bowie doing this song at the Freddie Mercury tribute that will rip your heart out. 😞
I love that performance. Annie is her true theatrical self & it's perfect.
That is a fantastic rendition of the song, Annie Lennox was the perfect choice for it.
ua-cam.com/video/fCP2-Bfhy04/v-deo.html
David had Her AUDITION!! There is Footage on UA-cam!
this is true
There's no better reaction. Freddie's highest note hits on a diferent level.
Some of my favorite lyrics ever : "Cause love's such an old-fashioned word, And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night, And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves."
@@TCTrueCrimeSages It's night. You can hear the T at the end
I agree. Great lyrics
100%
Fame, Changes and Young Americans are three of Bowie’s songs to start you off.
There's a lot of great Bowie stuff. I'm particularly partial to "Modern Love" and also "Dance Magic" of the Labyrinth soundtrack.
If anyone hasn’t seen it before they should check out David Bowie’s MTV interview calling MTV out for not playing black artists.
No he should start off with Space Oddity
I always liked Vanilla’s explanation about how you can tell he didn’t sample this song. The look on his face as he said it made it clear he knew he was lying.
He added an eighth note pickup to the bassline. LOL He didn't even know that's what it's called. He's all like, "That note right there makes it different."
@@klaptongroovemaster Let's be really honest. He didn't do shit. A bunch of producers threw a song at a naive young dude, and he rapped over it. The guy has a ton of flaws, but the music industry eats people up and spits them out for profit. They threw him under the bus.
Did he end up coughing up any cash or his record label maybe???
@@vernacohen6988 I don't remember the settlement, but Queen/Bowie get's a good portion of all revenue from the song.
@@JamesInDigital And writing credits for “Ice, Ice Baby” - although I doubt they were thrilled to be associated with it LOL 😂
Fun fact: Queen and Bowie never played this live together, it was only performed together in the recording! The footage of Bowie is from Freddie’s tribute concert in ‘92 edited in with Queens performance in ‘86 :)
Ditto and we'll said...FACTS😊
Everyone knows that! Old news.
Duh!!!
David Bowie - let's dance
Yes! Thank you! I also requested it- I wish many others would too! Mr. V will be getting down on that one!!
Yes, please! 💜
Yes! Yes!!
SRV on Guitar on the album Bowie took him out of the video
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥
By now you should’ve discovered that no rap song has an original instrumental “beat”, they’re ALL from somewhere else
Many have lifted the beat or other portions of old hits but then there are people like Pharrell, Timberland, Kanye and many others who create new beats.
There are notable exceptions, such as Ice T and LL Cool Jay who have actually written original music for certain songs . . . But for the most part, yeah; all derivative using baselines and beats from others. I'm reminded of a parody song about MC Hammer's "You Can't Touch This," called "Yes I Stole This;" complete with a background of Rick James singing "Superfreak."
Just realized my comment sounded douchy, was meant to be playfully sarcastic.
"David Bowie and Queen just thugged it up a lil" is literally the funniest thing you've ever said i nearly choked
Lmao!!!!
Right! I'm now feeling a little more "street" cred knowing that bumping vanilla ice back in the day was considered street. 😂
I am so glad song was combined this way with two legends. I STILL get chills at the climax of this song.
Queen definitely did it first, and the best. That’s why Ice is doing home repair on tv now.
😂😂
Definitely
He’s doing home repair because he must like it. He’s worth $18M and still gets 400k per year in royalties after Bowie/Queen get their cut which gave him shared rights to the song.
Well I an gonna have to start doing 'home repair on tv's," whatever that means. Vanilla Ice's home in South Florida is worth at least $10 million.
@@bcast9978 pretty good for a 1 hit wonder
you're hilarious! this song came out years before Ice Baby. Rap artists sample rock bass riffs. It's what they do. They are quite talented with what they can do with it - but the grungy riffs need to exist first. Beastie Boys used the drums from Zepplin's When Levee Breaks, Ton Loc used Van Halen's Janey's Crying drums and guitar "waah pedal" distortion in Wild Thing. MC Hammer used SuperFreak for his song. There are many others.
But I will say - watching you young millenials all listen to this song for the first and time and flip out has become a guilty pleasure of mine. Yours was hysterical.
Queens performance of under pressure (where he wears the yellow jacket) is so iconic. And David bowie at the Freddie mercury tribute concert is so good. They are both worth watching in their own.
Yes i love it i could play it again and again
Rest in peace to 2 of the most iconic singers of my lifetime. I never cry when a celeb dies, but when Bowie passed, Niagra Falls.
David Bowie's voice is butter 🧈 Queen sued Vanilla Ice for copyright infringement. Queen/Bowie came first!
Freddie famously said never to play your new ides to Bowie, as you would hear them the following week in the charts lol
I believe him
A backhanded compliment. He was one of a kind Bowie
Young Americans - David Bowie
banger.
Yes, a great song. He's got so many. How about "Golden years?"
Another banger!
@@brettmason1666 Modern Love, Let's Dance, Rebel Rebel, Rock n Roll Suicide, Ashes to Ashes.
So many jams. David Bowie was unreal.
Hell yeah!
All of those are great!
Just not the terrible live version
YES!!!! And on that same album, *RIGHT* which hasa some of the best vocal arrangements Bowie ever did--with Luther Vandross as collaborator on arrangements as well as featuring in the backup vocals, along with the awesome Ava Cherry
Freddie Mercury and David Bowie are rocking together in heaven. Two absolute legends, we will never again experience anyone like them.
Coolness x
Brian May the guitarist with the curls 😁 is an astrophysicist.
He recently (2019) wrote "New Horizons" to commemorate the NASA Ultima Thule deep space probe project. Watched it featured at our science museum.

@@iggysuepea so gifted 🥰
I've watched many "first time hearing" videos and you're the first person to mention that "NOTE" Freddie hits. Kudos and good ears for the listener!! Two thumbs up. Now... you still need to dip into more Queen, like "Get Down Make Love." I'd absolutely love to see your reaction on that one.
Make no mistake, Vanilla Ice copied this. Also, while recording this, when Freddie is riffing (ba ba ba).....he was on wine and cocaine.
Any Freddie questions, hit me up lol.
I remember turning on the radio and expecting to hear Freddie. "what's this shit?" :D lol "can they do that?" .. well. you can do anything until someone tells you no. lol
@@becks7394 Freddie was eating when he heard Ice, Ice Baby come on the radio. He called his lawyer, who told him he was already on it.
Cocaine has helped write a loooooot of great music. LOL
@@VeryCherryCherry no doubt
@@VeryCherryCherry When it comes to recording cocaine is notorious for messing with people's perceptions of how good the music actually is. Cocaine is mostly responsible for a lot of shitty music.
It's crazy how Freddie just making noises (like the skee bop things he does) is still better singing than 90% of other artists. His voice was from another planet.
Oh oh oh....you need to watch Freddie vs the crowd at Wembley! You won't regret it!
He did that one :) already
@@CrashCourseFarm my bad.....I missed that one. I will still watch it.....after seeing it 100 times lol
@@36nikkijane LOL, you & me both 😂
@@36nikkijane I spend a lot of time on here watching videos lol (i normally watch politics BUT these days that's a hot mess) so Leo it is to the rescue !! He makes me laugh and I enjoy seeing "older music through his eyes"
Dude ...... the LIVE AT WEMBLEY version of this song was EPIC. His warm up of the crowd was incredible.
Freddie and Bowie wrote this song in a night. They were having dinner and said they should collaborate on a song so they did just that. They each went to seperate studios and wrote their sections and put it together. John Deaks came up with the base line😊
That’s sacrilege! Vanilla Ice doesn’t have a bone in his body to write a song-he can only lift and sample music of others-like he did with Ice Ice Baby!
Check out David Bowie "Space Oddity". It's mindblowing.
Space Oddity
@@DaP84 thanks. I corrected it.
@@brynhilde8543 :) (Y)
yeah it's straight haunting and has a fucking movie level plot twist
Please.
Mr. Video, you really like our music from back in the day???? I'm loving you (u r making me smoke when I watch your channel)I am 61 female and you crack me up, you so crazy, I can't help but feel it too! Thanks for all the great reactions!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two of the planets most brilliant performers !!!!!
RIP to them both. I was probably more of a Bowie fan than a Queen fan. But, that's not to imply I didn't like Queen too. When Bowie died (2016) it was the first time I actually felt old!! I mean the ones I had heard all my life were dying. Very sad. Anyway, I loved this version of Under Pressure, Bowie and Mercury harmonized great together! Glad you enjoyed it!
It's Bow-ee like a bow snd arrow and he's of the great rock icons of all time, you really need to take a deep dive into his stuff.
You do. Listen to Space Oddity, Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Fame, Changes, Modern Love and many more.
English people say Bow-ee like the bow of a boat. Both are acceptable.
You mean its not Boo-ee (like the knife)? :P
Believe it or not He started out with his given name of-get this- DAVID JONES! That's right He changed Jones to Bowie to avoid confusion with the Monkee Member Davy Jones! True story! He had several records with The King Bees and His own group The Lower Third before the Bowie moniker.
@@clintlarvenz2570 no. We say David Bow-(like Bow and arrow) eey.
Reputed to have that rare four-octave vocal range, Mercury's voice could escalate, within a few short bars, from a deep, dark growl all the way up to a bright, shining coloratura (via various chromatic shades of tenor). On the technical side of things, he's known to have one of the best voices ever.
Bowie and Freddie have their own unique glam and flamboyance that are very complementary!
Their voices were extremely complementary too. Freddy had that powerful punch, and Bowie with the silky warmth.
I love David Bowie’s eyes, one ice blue why one brown eye. He fought the good fight and his long time marriage to model Iman was is beautiful. This was an awesome collaboration. I remember hearing that Vanilla Ice song intro and being so pissed off the little chump ripped off Queens distinctive opening to under pressure.
Yup Vanilla Ice stole this from Queen and got sued. Queen wrote this many years before . Yes- that’s a fan vid. They didn’t sing it together in person. David was singing at Freddy’s memorial concert😥 with Annie Lennox. Leo, you’re a natural dancer!
that was very early in the sampling - Run DMC was also sampling Aerosmith
Everybody repeats this myth; hey didn't sue--they merely threatened to sue for copyright infringement, and reached a settlement before ever having filed a suit
Bo
Queen did this after Nbowie
Bowie
Under Pressure evolved from a chance encounter jam session that Bowie had with the band at Queen's studio in Montreux, Switzerland. It's credited as being co-written by all five musicians (Bowie, Mercury, Deacon, May and Taylor). I love this song.
You need to react to more of
David bowie: check this songs
Starman
life on mars
space oddity
Also “let’s dance” and he can show us more of his movies!
I agree needs to do some Bowie
Cant forget magic dance from labyrinth
and don't forget Tin Machine - Under the god
@@marksullivan1883 don’t forget As The World Falls Down (ballroom scene) ❤️
Easy way to remember- If it is a rapper, he or she stole/borrowed it.
That's all they do, sample from original songs. As if Queen would ever need to sample other people's music when they're one of the best musicians in the world.
Only if they didn’t pay someone create a beat for them and if you want a hit, it’s going to cost you to get someone like Pharrell or Kanye to create a beat for you. So it’s easier to find an old hit song and “sample” from it.
It's called "sampling". But no, I'm not defending Ice.
This is a fan made video - Queen and David Bowie never performed this live together (while Freddie was alive) , it was a studio creation. Brilliant for all that
It's not fan made, it was done for Queen.
@@jpw6893 I stand corrected however, it's still a concocted video rather than an actual performance
You had me rolling over here when you played the ending four times over - so funny and so real! That ending deserves instant replays!
The show must go on - Queen (my personal favorite Freddie's vocals are legendary)
I 10000% agree!!! Greatest Queen song ever.
@@billfenton7147 yess
@@deec-man5743 who cares lol no matter what its still what it is. Which is great😀
Seriously I am close to crying thinking of these two greats no longer on this earth making music. It's so enjoyable watching someone who you can tell loves music discovering all the music I grew up listening to
These two men were brilliant. May they RIP Great reaction. Thank you. Much love 💙🎵🎶
"Under Pressure" is a song by the British rock band Queen and singer David Bowie. Originally released as a single in October 1981, it was later included on Queen's 1982 album Hot Space. The song reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Queen's second number-one hit in their home country (after 1975's "Bohemian Rhapsody", which topped the chart for nine weeks) and Bowie's third (after the 1975 reissue of "Space Oddity" and "Ashes to Ashes" in 1980). The song charted in the top 10 in more than ten countries around the world, and peaked at No. 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in January 1982.
The song has been described as a "monster rock track that stood out" on the Hot Space album, as well as "an incredibly powerful and poignant pop song". It was listed at number 31 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the '80s, and voted the second best collaboration of all time in a poll by Rolling Stone magazine. It was played live at every Queen concert from 1981 until the end of the band's touring career in 1986. Live recordings appear on the Queen live albums Queen Rock Montreal and Live at Wembley '86. The song was included on some editions of Queen's first Greatest Hits compilations, such as the original 1981 Elektra release in the US. It is included on the band's compilation albums Greatest Hits II, Classic Queen, and Absolute Greatest as well as Bowie compilations such as Best of Bowie (2002), The Platinum Collection (2005), Nothing Has Changed (2014), Legacy (2016), and Re:Call 3 (2017).
Queen had been working on a song called "Feel Like", but were not satisfied with the result. David Bowie had originally gone to Mountain Studios to sing backing vocals on another Queen song, "Cool Cat", but his vocals were removed from the final song because he was not satisfied with his performance. Once he got there, they worked together for a while and wrote the song. The final version, which became "Under Pressure", evolved from a chance encounter jam session that Bowie had with the band at Queen's studio in Montreux, Switzerland. It was credited as being co-written by the five musicians. The scat singing that dominates much of the song is evidence of the jam-beginnings as improvisation. However, according to Queen bassist John Deacon (as quoted in a French magazine in 1984), the song's primary musical songwriter was Freddie Mercury - though all contributed to the arrangement. As Brian May recalled to Mojo magazine in October 2008, "It was hard, because you had four very precocious boys and David, who was precocious enough for all of us. David took over the song lyrically. Looking back, it's a great song but it should have been mixed differently. Freddie and David had a fierce battle over that. It's a significant song because of David and its lyrical content." The earlier, embryonic version of the song without Bowie, "Feel Like", is widely available in bootleg form, and was written by Queen drummer Roger Taylor.
There has also been some confusion about who had created the song's bassline. John Deacon said (in Japanese magazine Music life in 1982) that David Bowie created it. In more recent interviews, Brian May and Roger Taylor credited the bass riff to Deacon. Bowie, on his website, said the bassline was already written before he became involved. Roger Taylor, in an interview for the BBC documentary Queen: the Days of Our Lives, stated that Deacon did indeed create the bassline, stating that all through the sessions in the studio he had been playing the riff over and over. He also claims that when the band returned from dinner, Deacon, amusingly, forgot the riff, but fortunately Taylor was still able to remember it. Brian May clarified matters in a 2016 Mirror Online article, writing that it was actually Bowie, not Taylor, who had inadvertently changed the riff. The riff began as "Deacy began playing, 6 notes the same, then one note a fourth down". After the dinner break, Bowie changed Deacon's memory of the riff to "Ding-Ding-Ding Diddle Ing-Ding".
"Ice Ice Baby" is a hip hop song written by American rapper Vanilla Ice, K. Kennedy, and DJ Earthquake. It was based on the bassline of "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie, who did not receive songwriting credit or royalties until after it had become a hit. Released on his debut album, To the Extreme, it is his best known song. It has appeared in remixed form on Platinum Underground and Vanilla Ice Is Back! A live version appears on the album Extremely Live, while a nu metal version appears on the album Hard to Swallow, under the title "Too Cold".
"Ice Ice Baby" was first released as the B-side to Vanilla Ice's cover of "Play That Funky Music", but the single was not initially successful. When disc jockey David Morales played "Ice Ice Baby" instead, it began to gain success. "Ice Ice Baby" was the first hip hop single to top the Billboard Hot 100. Outside the United States, the song topped the charts in Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom, thus helping the song diversify hip hop by introducing it to a mainstream audience.
After audiences began to view Van Winkle as a novelty act and a pop star rather than a legitimate rapper, his popularity began to decline. Detroit-based rapper Eminem states that when he first heard "Ice Ice Baby", "I felt like I didn't want to rap anymore. I was so mad, because he was making it real hard for me." Van Winkle lost some credibility among hip hop fans, but later began to regain some success, attracting a new audience outside of the mainstream audience that had formerly accepted him and then rejected him. "Ice Ice Baby" continues to be the song that Van Winkle is best known for internationally, although Van Winkle states that his American fans like his newer music better.
According to Rolling Stone, the "Ice Ice Baby"-"Under Pressure" controversy is a landmark music copyright case, since it "sparked discussion about the punitive actions taken in plagiarism cases". The magazine's Jordan Runtagh added: "Though Vanilla Ice paid the price, some argue that isn't enough to make up for the potential credibility lost by Queen and David Bowie, who are now linked to him through a collaboration they had no choice in joining."
A live version of the song appeared on the album Extremely Live. "Ice Ice Baby" was rerecorded in a nu metal version titled "Too Cold". Originally intended to be released as a hidden track or B-side, "Too Cold" was featured on Van Winkle's 1998 album Hard to Swallow, and became a radio hit in some markets. In 2000, a remix titled "Ice Ice Baby 2001" was released in Europe as a single, with a newly produced music video. The remix generated new international interest in Van Winkle's music.
VH1 and Blender ranked "Ice Ice Baby" fifth on its list of the "50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever". It was also given the distinction by the Houston Press as being the worst song ever to emanate from Texas. In 1999, the song's music video was "retired" on the MTV special 25 Lame, in which Van Winkle himself appeared to destroy the video's master tape. Given a baseball bat, Van Winkle ended up destroying the show's set. However, in December 2007, VH1 ranked the song in 29th place of their 100 Greatest Songs of the 90's.
In November 2011 MTV Dance ranked "Ice Ice Baby" at No. 71 in their list of "The 100 Biggest 90's Dance Anthems Of All Time".
In 1991, Alvin and the Chipmunks released a cover version entitled "Ice Ice Alvin" for their album The Chipmunks Rock the House. "Weird Al" Yankovic included the chorus as the final song in "Polka Your Eyes Out", the polka medley from his 1992 album Off the Deep End. In 2004, the song was featured in the film 13 Going on 30. In 2010, the song was featured in the Glee episode "Bad Reputation" as performed by Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison).
Queen did it first in the 80’s and vanilla ice sampled the song in Ice Ice Baby was early 90’s and had a whole conversation so had to give them writing credits
This is the best Rock song of all time. If only I could have been at that concert. RIP Freddie and David
Queen definitely did it first, and Vanilla Ice lost his shirt in the lawsuit after he stole the bass riff for Ice Ice Baby.
Another David Bowie song to check out is "Lets Dance" - your boy SRV played guitar in that one. Legend has it that when Eric Clapton heard the song on the radio, he declared that he had to find out who the guitar player was that day.
Bowie was supposed to sing background on a different Queen song but removed himself from it because he didn't like his performance. But!! While there - they kinda jammed singing other peoples songs. They were doing a ton of coke & drinking wine!! Bowie said "lets just write one!! Queens unreleased song "Feel Like" is what they worked on. Deacon kept playing the bass line which he forgot during dinner 🤣 but got it back with one slight change. They couldn't agree on how the song should sound so Bowie said let's each go in the booth & record our part out own way without hearing the other. Freddie sang the playful improvisons with the ba-ba-ba. Bowie made powerful lyrical change. The song almost didn't make it because there was a battle of wills. You can hear the different style between the two. They left it that way. The result of 5 amazing artists collaborating in a jam session putting their magical touches of Freddie being light, David having a bit of doom, & Deacon's bass line on a piece of music became the masterpiece "Under Pressure."
Listen to the song again & read the lyrics sometime Leo - it's really cool. David sang it at Freddie's tribute after his death at Wembley with the great Annie Lennox. It's worth your time to watch.
One of my all time favorites...their voices were meant for this 🙏🏼✌️💜
I’ve known these songs all of my life. Watching you enjoy them for the first time reignites them for me in the coolest way!
My favorite song of all time. And the most "2020" song of all time. From 1981!
I hope this opened the door for you to check out Bowie. He was outspoken through his music about inequality and injustice. He was a huge part of the music world when MTV came out and was outspoken enough to publicly ask (MTV during an interview by them) why did they not feature more black artists on the channel. Other than Michael Jackson and Prince, they rarely showed if ever, black artists and their music videos.
Remember, the older ones always come first. :P.
"Under Pressure"
Pressure: pushing down on me,
Pressing down on you, no man ask for.
Under pressure that burns a building down,
Splits a family in two,
Puts people on streets.
That's OK.
That's the terror of knowing
What this world is about.
Watching some good friends screaming,
"Let me out!"
Tomorrow gets me higher.
Pressure on people, people on streets.
OK.
Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor.
These are the days: it never rains but it pours.
People on streets.
People on streets.
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about.
Watching some good friends screaming,
"Let me out!"
Tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high!
Pressure on people, people on streets.
Turned away from it all like a blind man.
Sat on a fence, but it don't work.
Keep coming up with love, but it's so slashed and torn.
Why, why, why!?
Love, love, love, love, love.
Insanity laughs under pressure.
We're breaking.
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?
'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word,
And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night,
And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves.
This is our last dance.
This is our last dance.
This is ourselves.
Under pressure.
Under pressure.
Pressure.
One of my favorite songs of alltime. Should be 2020 Anthem. So much pressure on everyone this year
As Woody Allen says - if you're going to steal , steal from the BEST ! :))))
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for the people on the
Edge of the night, and love dares you to
Change our way of caring about ourselves- Amen
They did it first. Vanilla Ice took it for his own. Naughty, naughty Vanilla Ice.

I had a lot of neon accents in my wardrobe & my favorite pair of jeans had ankles that were so tapered they put zippers in the ankles so you could get your feet through them
These days I prefer boot cut
Both of them weirdly singing into each other’s mouths. Yes, very 80s
I can't believe I missed this reaction!! I love YOUr reactions, and Bowie & Freddie just HAPPEN to be my favorite people lol
PERFECT STORM OF AWESOMENESS ❤❤✌❤❤
You may not know that Freddie was a trained Classical and Opera singer that is the reason why he has such highs in his voice and David Bowie is just a Legend
Queen was first Ice stole it look it up
yes they did "steal" it, but Vanilla sampled it.

There has also been some confusion about who had created the song's bassline. John Deacon said (in Japanese magazine Music life in 1982) that David Bowie created it. In more recent interviews, Brian May and Roger Taylor credited the bass riff to Deacon. Bowie, on his website, said the bassline was already written before he became involved. Roger Taylor, in an interview for the BBC documentary Queen: the Days of Our Lives, stated that Deacon did indeed create the bassline, stating that all through the sessions in the studio he had been playing the riff over and over. He also claims that when the band returned from dinner, Deacon, amusingly, forgot the riff, but fortunately Taylor was still able to remember it. Brian May clarified matters in a 2016 Mirror Online article, writing that it was actually Bowie, not Taylor, who had inadvertently changed the riff. The riff began as "Deacy began playing, 6 notes the same, then one note a fourth down". After the dinner break, Bowie changed Deacon's memory of the riff to "Ding-Ding-Ding Diddle Ing-Ding".

So glad to someone speaking who has done their research!
I'm just like you! I can't ever get to the end of this song, no matter how many times I've heard it over the years without hitting rewind. Freddie's vocals are amazing...so are David's but Freddie's just out of this world from the deep to the high and then the smooth in between. BTW, the bass player came up with that riff. They took a break from working on it, and went out to eat. When they got back to the studio, the bass player couldn't remember the riff. Luckily, the drummer finally did.
Sorry, but I’m laughing at all the people saying it’s “bow-ee”. That doesn’t help, because it can still be bow and arrow of ship’s bow. Boh-E.
Most Americans say Boh-ee. The Brits may say it differently.
John Deacon the bass player of Queen wrote the original bassline for Under Pressure in a studio. The story told by Queen was that after John played the bassline, they all went out and ate lunch and of course had a few drinks as well. When they got back to the studio John couldn't remember the bass riff. It was Brian May or Roger Taylor that reminded him what it was. Both bands wrote this song impromptu in the music studio that day. So that is in and of itself music 🎶 history! Rock on, Mr Video!
Show Must Go On - Queen they had so many bangers ⚡️.
The further you dive into Queen you'll find yourself saying "I didn't know they did this song too" but they did. They're the original GOAT.
Under pressure!!!! Lets get it
All of Queen's music is awesome!🔥🔥🔥somebody to love...love of my life..
Vanilla added a ting from a cymbal to save himself from copyright infringement
Didn’t work - he still got sued & had to give Queen & Bowie writing credits
I love how your whole mood changes when Bowie is singing!
Bowie and Trent reznor- I'm afraid of American's
Absolutely Young Americans David Bowie. Love your reactions. Keep up the good work. You’re an entertainer.
I listen to this song a few times a week. I love it 😀
freddie was a fireball, and bowie was an ice cube... and that mix of hot and cool is what makes this song work SO damn well.
You should check out Hereos by David Bowie....
This appears to be pieced together.....but its a great song
They never performed it together, it was a studio project. But each sang it individually and god bless the fan that stitched together two different videos to make this.
Hey Leo .. CHARLIE PRIDE passed away today .. I dont think you have dived into his catalog yet .. but would be a great time to introduce yourself... he was one of the groundbreaker in country. Kiss an angel goose morning is a great place to start ;)
Aww, I didn’t know - great country music singer!
@@lynnhoffman247 they just announced it he was 86 and complications with Covid
