I'd like to see your reaction to Aretha Franklin stepping in for a sick Pavarotti and singing Nessun Dorma. Supposedly, she even sang it in his key. Your reaction would be very interesting.
I’ve loved ELO since they first achieved fame in the 1970s. Leader Jeff Lynne, is a very talented singer/songwriter. And the repetition in this song doesn’t bother me because the sound and the beat are so good. Great reaction, Maggie.
Jeff Lynne was, unbeknownst to them, my kids hero on long road trips. I would pop in ELO greatest hits, followed by the Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 and after a few hours they were joyfully singing every word.
Been a fan of ELO since I heard them do Roll Over Beethoven in 1973 or 1974 when I was 10. As I got older I figured out it was the depth and layering of their songs. Their music is in its own class of progressive rock.
ELO is one of the favorite bands from my youth. Please consider reacting to their song All Over the World. Another great ELO song is I'm Alive. That was in the movie Xanadu.
Jeff Lynne is an amazingly talented writer, producer, singer, performer etc etc. An Englishman of unique talent that should be treasured around the world.
Concerto for a Rainy Day from their Out of the Blue double album - an ambitious four song suite culminating in Mr. Blue Sky. Referred to as the happiest pop song ever written. It will have you bouncing in your seat. 😂
Poker Rockaria!* Tightrope Evil Woman* Fire On High Eldorado Boy Blue Twilight All Over the World* Strange Magic* So Fine and Do Ya* *--in the set list, Over and Out tour
Good Lord, she should *_not_* react to anything from this summer's Over and Out tour, Jeff is a shell of himself from 7 years ago at this Wembley show. smh
@@Cosmo-Kramer Well, I caught the band a few weeks ago. His voice isn't what it used to be, and he relies heavily on others. Nowhere near the energy of Jagger, who I also saw recently. But still good. The graphics and musicians were tremendous. He is packing it in, at least on the road.
You have to remember that this is actually Jeff Lynne with a swathe of session musicians, the original ELO is long gone with most members either retired or passed away. I suggest you have a look at footage from the time (1976) of the original releases of tracks from Out of the Blue. The Out of the Blue - Live at Wembley (1978) also gives a true representation of how incredibly good the original band really were..
Although seeing Jeff live is incredible (I had the pleasure just once back in 2018, I hope the Over and Out tour will come to Europe and that I can afford a ticket, or it will turn out not to be the last anyway), Jeff can't replicate the original studio versions anymore, even if the horde of talented musicians can make up for the original members. His voice is still wonderful, but obviously not as versatile as it used to be - he just isn't young anymore to say the truth. And there is _nothing_ wrong with that. I saw Brian Wilson performing the 50th anniversary tour of Pet Sounds, and I loved hearing him singing as much as he could, even if his voice has deteriorated a lot more than Jeff's. But to experience the songs in their original splendor, and how they were originally intended to sound, one _has_ to go to the original studio versions. And this also means avoiding the remakes Jeff did some time ago for copyright and royalties reasons probably, although I can understand why making them may have been a good idea, for those reasons. On this song, I think in particular the sped-up section is not nearly as good as the original.
Maggie, I think you would really enjoy reacting to another great ELO song titled Shangri La. Has one of the greatest outros you will ever hear. You will really appreciate it being an opera singer.
You might like hearing Jeff Lynne's solo version of this song from 2012. He re-recorded many of ELO's hits. The album is called Mr. Blue Sky. Jeff plays bass, drums, keyboards, lead and rhythm guitars as well as singing lead and background vocals. The strings follow his original arrangements. Nothing seems amiss.
There are 2 bands from this era that are criminally underappreciated: ELO and Chicago. They both put out music that after listening to it, you just feel uplifted and happy. I just about wore the grooves out of "Out of the blue" on repeat on my turntable in the early 80s.
Ah, my first love, ELO. The original symphonic anything. My only regret is that I won't be able to see their last tour, when they were my first concert!
This is favorite ELO song, and that's saying a lot. Maybe it's the more use of strings that makes me love it so much more than the other songs of theirs.
Two songs you will really like by ELO: "Rockaria!" and 'The Diary of Horace Wimp'. The second one is not only great musucslly, but it has a touching story to it.
Jeff Lynne = ELO = Jeff Lynne. After the original "termination" in 1986 following Balance Of Power, some members tried to get a continuation going (which I will not bother naming), and Jeff was not happy about it. This turned the relation between Jeff and certain former members sour. Jeff has always been the core and primary owner of ELO, which was formed by him, Roy Wood (who departed after the first album) and drummer Bev Bevan, as the successor group to the Move. Eventually Bevan transferred his share of the ownership of the name to Jeff, and Jeff is in complete control - which however does not prevent what is now really just a pretentious cover band, although renamed, to continue to leech on the ELO name, being promoted by less reputable venues as if they were "the real thing". This is probably why Jeff renamed it to Jeff Lynne's ELO. With the recent death of Richard Tandy, who remained loyal to Jeff throughout, there aren't many original members alive anyway.
Hey Maggie, you should listen to ELO's biggest hit Don't Bring Me Down(original music video)!! You're gonna be bobbing your head up and down the whole way through sweetie!! LMAO

yeah that break was epic, suprised vey cld do that live, just like v record. jeffs lost a bit of pwr n his bass pitch ive noticed but its normal of corse 4 his age in his 70s here.
Jeff Lynne left the Move to form his own outfit, and got red-hot in the later Seventies. ELO wasn't art rock, a la Yes, King Crimson, or Emerson, Lake & Palmer; group was far more pop-oriented. Lynne got George Harrison's career going again, and, along with him, was part of the Traveling Wilburys. He is retiring from touring with the band, but certainly not giving up music.
Maggie ..when you were reacting to Don't Bring Me Down, you kept going to the lyric"What happened to the girl I used to know?"repeatedly! Could you please not do that in future reactions? Thank you.Much appreciated!
It's too bad that he gets away with calling this ELO when the only member of the original band onstage is Jeff Lynne. It's gross how he treated the original band. Now Kelly is dead and Richard is dead. I have boycotted this sham of a tour and will always remember their 1981 tour with opening act Hall & Oates

Electric Light Orchestra "Tightrope",, An absolute MUST HEAR Classic. ❤
I’ve loved ELO since they first achieved fame in the 1970s. Leader Jeff Lynne, is a very talented singer/songwriter. And the repetition in this song doesn’t bother me because the sound and the beat are so good. Great reaction, Maggie.
I don't think Jeff Lynne gets the credit he deserves
I love that the band and the audience are all having such a great time! This whole concert was fantastic. ELO and Jeff Lynne have so many hits!
ELO are a UK treasure and one of my favourite bands ever.
Well done young lady great review welcome to the greatest artist of all time Jeff Lynne legend listen to across the border thanks for reaction
When ELO IS playing everything shines even in stormy weather
Jeff Lynne was, unbeknownst to them, my kids hero on long road trips. I would pop in ELO greatest hits, followed by the Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 and after a few hours they were joyfully singing every word.

Very underrated and underappreciated band here in the US. Great song.
I remember seeing them in concert on October 26th, 1981. Heck of a good show, and it didn't hurt that Hall and Oates were the opening act.
The song came out in early 70s and this concert was in 2017 . Also ELO are on their final tour . Still filling the large venues .
Great song and reaction
I enjoyed their vocals and also the string section, and surely I favor listening to more songs played by them. Nice reaction from you too. So long.
You can't listen to an ELO track & not feel happier afterward. 😎
Also in the set list of the Over and Out tour, which I caught recently. Band still sounds good.

Maggie, given your musical background can I respectfully request that you react to ELO's Rockaria.
Yes, and is that aria from an opera or written for the song?
there so good! i never get tired of them!
They're the best.
I was so fortunate to see them live at the Tacoma dome in 2019, it was incredible, they are phenomenal live!
First time I'm finding you and I have to say how much I love your natural speaking voice! So beautiful and soothing
Maggie, I think you would really enjoy reacting to another great ELO song titled Shangri La. Has one of the greatest outros you will ever hear. You will really appreciate it being an opera singer.
Maggie has finally confirmed what we suspected all along, she's not normal.
Saw them 3 nights ago in St. Paul. Incredible!
I’m seeing them tonight!
Maggie, what an Excellent Review of ELO and this song Turn To Stone! We had the opportunity to see Jeff Lynne’s ELO twice on their Over and Out tour.
You might like hearing Jeff Lynne's solo version of this song from 2012. He re-recorded many of ELO's hits. The album is called Mr. Blue Sky.

GREAT REACTION LOVED IT VERY COOL😎

@@markh.7650 I totally agree. Love both.
Great song, terrific reaction Maggie!
Anybody else remember hearing this on AM radio?
Jeff Lynne is great live now, but his major instrument is the recording studio. The studio albums are where he really shines.
That crowd is rockin!!!!
Maggie TurnS Me Stone Cold in LovE ❤❤❤
You must do Mr. Blue Sky and Tightrope!!!! Probably their best examples of what they became!
Ah, my first love, ELO. The original symphonic anything. My only regret is that I won't be able to see their last tour, when they were my first concert!
I like them. A lot of good songs. Great reaction 👏👏👏
Great song from a great band
Jeff Lynne Comes From Birmingham. England, The City I Was Born In!
Midlands produced some big hitters Black Sabbath and Led Z Robert Plant .
Also known as Birminghamistan.
ELO rocks! Loved this video. And loved your reaction!
Grew up with this kind of music.
This is favorite ELO song, and that's saying a lot. Maybe it's the more use of strings that makes me love it so much more than the other songs of theirs.
He's also 80 odd Years old at this stage of life.
Two songs you will really like by ELO: "Rockaria!" and 'The Diary of Horace Wimp'. The second one is not only great musucslly, but it has a touching story to it.
Strange Magic, Rockaria, Evil Woman , All over the World Would be the 4 that I recommend You react too.
I recommended before and will again.. ELO's "All over the World" either from the Xanadu soundtrack or the video of him performing it live in concert.
This is from the same album as Mr Blue Sky, which I think you already enjoyed, and if you haven't, then you owe it to yourself.
I was there
Out of the Blue (1977)
My understanding is that Jeff Lynns ELO is the group after the band broke up. If its just ELO its the original lineup.
Jeff Lynne = ELO = Jeff Lynne. After the original "termination" in 1986 following Balance Of Power, some members tried to get a continuation going (which I will not bother naming), and Jeff was not happy about it.

@@lhpl There are no original members who appeared with Jeff Lynne on the Over and Out tour.
Luciano Pavarotti, James Brown - It's A Man's Man's Man's World ... REACTION...
Hey Maggie, you should listen to ELO's biggest hit Don't Bring Me Down(original music video)!! You're gonna be bobbing your head up and down the whole way through sweetie!! LMAO
Again? She just did it some days ago.
👍❤️❤️
Maybe Try "Yours Truly 2095" From The TIME Album
You should hear this when it’s not interupted every 20 seconds!

If you love opera and rock ......You need to react to "Rockaria" by ELO(if you haven't reacted to this song already).
A shout out for REO SPEEDWAGON please!
You should try the studio version. Much cleaner
Can't be bad if it has 100k people dancing.
Good point.
👏👏👏👌🫶🫵
Maggie look at the doobie brothers live.. long train running
“Normal people” never follow
Where do u think Freddy got it form
ELO was a leader in what they did.
Got excited until I saw "LIVE".
Jeff Lynne left the Move to form his own outfit, and got red-hot in the later Seventies. ELO wasn't art rock, a la Yes, King Crimson, or Emerson, Lake & Palmer; group was far more pop-oriented. Lynne got George Harrison's career going again, and, along with him, was part of the Traveling Wilburys. He is retiring from touring with the band, but certainly not giving up music.
ELO, get away with repeating lyrics because of the supreme quality of the music and production values. The songs are not boring.
Hi there maggie pls react to these videos
BROADWAY MEDLEY - Regine Velasquez and Martin Nievera
HE KNOWS - Almira Lat (Wedding Song)
I thought you would do Rockaria first....or is that too obvious?
How come you seem to miss the lyrics of wat hes singing about the emotion they put behind the song its not just about the arrangements so robotic
Maggie ..when you were reacting to Don't Bring Me Down, you kept going to the lyric"What happened to the girl I used to know?"repeatedly! Could you please not do that in future reactions? Thank you.Much appreciated!
Too much interruptions……
It's too bad that he gets away with calling this ELO when the only member of the original band onstage is Jeff Lynne. It's gross how he treated the original band. Now Kelly is dead and Richard is dead. I have boycotted this sham of a tour and will always remember their 1981 tour with opening act Hall & Oates
To much vamping can be annoying in pop music.
STOP STOPPING
More ELO👌🤘🤘👈🇦🇺
