YES!!! The Bee Gees absolutely deserve to be on this channel. Enjoy the rabbit hole of 50+ years of music.

Barry gets the most comments and reaction when hearing this song, and rightly so as the lead. But, the precision, consistency and quality that Robin and Maurice provide as the backing vocals cannot be overlooked. An absolute master class.

Their falsetto style was mostly from the mid to late 70s. They still used falsetto after the 70s, but they have a variety of music before and after without the falsetto.

You really need to watch "Nights on Broadway" It's a much different side to their vocals

Jen!!!! What a thrill to see you fan-girling over this song! I could almost see the chill bumps on your arms each time Barry(in the middle) hit his beautiful high as the sky vocals! I was a teenager when The Bee Gees came on the music scene and I was captivated by their unique sound (yes, even through their disco era)! I loved every song they’ve ever sung and you may or may not know that they’re prolific song writers having written huge hits for other artists! So happy to know that you appreciate their talents! Thanks for the reaction video!!❤

More Bee Gees please. Early songs, pre disco, like New York Mining Disaster, I've got to get a message to you, Run to Me, Lonely Days, How can you mend a broken heart and post disco like For Whom the Bell Tolls, I could not love you more, Kiss of Life, Bodyguard...40 plus years of outstanding songwriting and singing. Loved your reaction. Great to hear from someone who knows what their talking about. Fun fact: None of the brothers could read or write a note of music!

Barry once had a back injury and he said about that … he learned how his lower back was the support for his high notes making them near impossible until he recovered.

You cannot listen to this and not feel strong emotions. Joyful and sensual

One of the most beautiful songs. Please please do a reaction to Jive Talking - totally different but still iconically Bee Gees.

React to "How do you mend a broken heart". They sing in.their "normal" voices.

You really need some Early BeeGees in your life! Massachusetts, New York Mining Disaster, Lonely Days, Gotta Get a Message to You. Their pre disco catalog is deep and wide!

Great analysis! I grew up with this great group & had a lot of their albums. Most people react to their disco era. My favorites are from the 60's-70's. Some of their early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "Holiday", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "The Singer Sang His Song", "Lonely Days", "Melody Fair", "First Of May", "I Started A Joke", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "Massachusetts", "To Love Somebody" etc.

Gahhhh!! Thanks for the R&A to the BeeGees. I grew up listening to this iconic group. Thanks again, Jen!

"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" would be a good follow-up song.

Jen, if you want to hear their speaking voices, I suggest the 1989 "ONE" interview. They touch on writing songs to perform themselves and writing for others like Diana Ross and Barbra Streisand.

That falsetto sound started in 1975 when The Bee Gees moved to Miami from the UK. They were recording “Nights On Broadway” and their producer was the legendary Arif Mardin. He asked if any of them could “scream in falsetto” to ad lib at the end of the song. He was used to hearing Maurice harmonize in falsetto, but was absolutely stunned by the power of Barry’s high pitched voice. So Barry began using it throughout the song and it became a part of their music from then on. 🙂

Definitely need to do, To love somebody, came out in 1967

Both MUST HEAR Classics,, The Bee Gees "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" & "I Started A Joke" ❤

Great reaction Jenn! Barry (the one in the middle) is the only one of the 4 brothers still alive. Please listen to Immortality with Celine Dion. By the way, the Bee Gees wrote their own music. Love ya!

This performance was truly live, and done in one take. The two supporting brothers were fraternal twins, which probably contributed to their harmonizing. The group donated the rights of this song to UNICEF, and it's raised a considerable amount of money for the charity.

Nice reaction, This is a deep rabbit hole if you decide to do more. The Bee Gee's have over 1,000 copy-written songs that have been recorded. One of the most prolific producers of music EVER.

Jennifer, you should try to contact Barry for an interview, he's the only surviving brother, the twins died years ago.

I appreciate your genuine energy and love of music! You are a delight to follow!!

Wow. Haven't listened to these guys in a long time. I expect Barry's expression to be much tighter in those very high notes, but he looks so relaxed. Amazing. Thanks for the memories.

Great reaction. I really enjoyed it. The Bee Gees really are special. I think you will have a great time going through there catalog of music that lasted 50+ years. They adapted their sound and song writing to the changing times and it will be interesting to watch you explore and analyze it. 😊

I think what amazes me is the arrangement it's simply sublime. The vocals are perfect, obviously. But the instruments highlight this by providing counter points and deflections that sound simply amazing 😂❤

Yea, Jen! I love the Beegees and you did a great reaction to this song. You look as though you really enjoyed yourself. ❤

If you want to hear them sing switching between head voice and chest voice, listen to Fanny, be tender with my love.

Bee Gees were unlike anything we’d ever heard in the late 60s. That sound and harmonies were unmistakable. Glad you’re covering them. They are unique and masterful song writers and performers. The 60/70s will always have my heart, when it comes to music. So much diversity in sound and musical abilities.

You do know that the Gibb brother's do not read music. Though their family have musical roots, it is all natural instinct and harmony. All self taught, both vocally and instrumentally.

I’m so glad you got to this one Jenn, I’m telling my age but you are in my era now! I loved to hear their harmonies! My vocal coach says most people have a jump to falsetto or head voice but I have a canyon! I have used this one and a couple of their other songs to work on my crossover! My voice is so heavy! I speak in the 2nd and upper 1 st octave so pretty heavy! They were also great producers. In Kenny and Dolly’s son Island in the stream, you can hear their vocals in the background of that song. Loved this! Low bass Kenneth.

Their voices are incredible. It is even more awe inspiring when you think about it because back then there was no auto tune or the production technology to clean up voices. It is all them. They had to be able to harmonize with each other to produce that sound.

Holy crap I've been waiting for this.

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

Jennifer your analysis of this was really good. One of your best.

Another great reaction, Jen! The Bee Gees and Home Free are my two favorite groups; yeah, I love me some harmonies. My favorite Bee Gees songs are post disco and feature their non-falsetto voices - “For Whom The Bell Tolls”, “Wedding Day”, “Angela”, and more. Their rabbit hole goes deeper than HF.

This is a live performance, no help just pure talent

The synchronized vibrato/tremolo they can do with their voices is insane. Total vocal control. Absolute mastery. Their earlier stuff was quite different. Not so high pitched.

...Is this MUSIC, or is this MUSIC??? 🤪 BTW: Robin has also a special voice.........( I Started A Joke...)

Dine live in one take! No auto tune just sibling harmony perfection! That’s so much for reacting to this!!

There are many interviews with the Bee Gees online where you may hear their extremely normal speaking voices. The special thing about them is none of them had voice coaching or any music lessons, they came from poverty and not one could read or write music.

Please do more BeeGees. You won't be sorry. They have so many styles...never boring ALWAYS excellent.

….. The Bee Gees took all of the Grammys in the 70’s 🏆 (Kings)

Would love to see you react to the songs that Barry Gibb recorded with Barbra Streisand: Guilty, Woman In Love, and What Kind Of Fool

The Bee Gees were a BIG part of my childhood. I was there for Saturday Night Fever and DISCO! When The Bee Gees had the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever, I played it on my record player until it was worn out and skipping.. then I bought another one! Their sound was unmistakable. Barry Gibb is still alive (the one in the middle) but the fraternity twins Maurice and Robin died several years ago, 2003 and 2012 respectively. They also had a younger brother Andy that was not a part of The Bee Gees, but did have his own music career. Andy was the first brother to die at only 30yrs old.😢 I think it was at least partly from many years of drug & alcohol abuse. Thank you for taking me back down memory lane.❤

Jen, this is my first time to your channel, and I loved your reaction along with your analysis of their voices. You've gained a subscriber here. Can't wait to watch more of your reaction and analysis videos. 👍👍❤❤

If you want your mind blown, look at how many soundtracks for movies and hits this trio wrote, much of which was done for other artists.

It goes without saying that you need to do Barry Gibb’s songs he wrote for and performed with Streisand, “Woman In Love” and “Guilty”

Go back to the early days...they were on TV as children and on MTV as young men.

I listen to this song every day. It was released 1978. I was married 1977. If it had been released in 1977, it would have been one of the songs in my wedding. A little background. Barry Gibb (middle) September 1, 1946. He and his wife Linda have been married for 53 years. They have 4 sons and one daughter who is the youngest. Also, 7 grandchildren. Barry's chest is shiny with blotches because when he was about 18 months, he pulled a pot of hot tea from off of a table. His mom said he didn't speak for a long time (close to 2 years.) He was close to dying because there was no skin grafting back then and gangrene was beginning to set in. Barry said he has no memory of it happening, just the scars to prove. Robin (on our left - long hair) and Maurice (on our right - short hair) were fraternal twins. Maurice Gibb (December 22, 1949 - January 12, 2003) heart attack, while getting surgery for twisted intestines. Survived by wife and 2 adult children. Robin Gibb (December 22, 1949 - May 20, 2012) doctors found out he had the same intestine problems as Maurice. When they went in to fix it, they found cancer. He is survived by wife and 4 adult children. Andy Gibb - not pictured (March 5, 1958 - March 10, 1988) He was too young to sing with his brothers. He had his own successful career. He and Barry could have been identical twins. He had a bad heart. Andy is survived by one daughter. You know the song 'Emotion' sung by Destiny's Child? (Beyonce' was a member of the group.) The brothers wrote the song (1977) for the singer Samantha Sang. Destiny's Child has too much drama in it. Barry said he liked it. Emotion ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b_wTZjo9azk.htmlsi=Y863cKzsfSsxKiTP They wrote their own songs and wrote and produced songs for a lot of other artists. Barry didn't always sing in falsetto. They were asked if someone could sing falsetto on a song. Barry volunteered, and the rest is history. Robin sings falsetto too. On a side note, the first born is their sister, Lesley (Gibb) Evans. She can sing, but she did not want to be in the limelight. She lives a quiet life. She and Barry are the last two survivors of the family. (Their parents are deceased also.) Maurice passed away on Lesley's 58th birthday. They were so popular that some radio stations had a 'Bee Gees free' weekend. NO requests for their songs. There's so much to write about them. In your spare time, I think you'll like what they have contributed to the music industry. I recommend the following songs: Staying Alive ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I_izvAbhExY.htmlsi=7p2Pbvfime9eHGc-&t=1 How Deep Is Your Love ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XpqqjU7u5Yc.htmlsi=TJzrh9ns2v1rUvnH Spirits Having Flown ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WWBFpoErDCM.htmlsi=3mpRsV0a-kfCMDWX Shadow Dancing (Andy Gibb) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7j_yGYU_jUU.htmlsi=fgwTh0Si29Axvb7S Bodyguard ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fx5XwIKCs3o.htmlsi=ZR3i-vkS0bTbUsMd You Should Be Dancing (Andy is with them in this video: from the movie Saturday Night Fever) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Auo29DPfZ2E.htmlsi=XevU5_t8wV8gQCBS&t=1 You Win Again ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KZY9oYSSjFI.htmlsi=tNkXzwYEE2uOUi1I Secret Love ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iVseOSFTGAw.htmlsi=5DFjJ0rTH1_6GvEw For Whom the Bells Toll ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jTowyYFXIUY.htmlsi=kqPuP-VmVOO8dkca

This is one of the songs that was often requested and played in disco clubs back then. Especially later in the evening. A good opportunity to dance closely with your partner. Feelings came up. 😉

This was iconic DISCO Bee Gees. They actually started in the late 50s, and during the 60's had pop classics like I started a joke, and Ive gotta get a message to you, and Massachusetts. These are COMPLETELY different, and a must for the full Bee Gees picture.

There's just no one better! So much talent!! I've loved them forever.

Have a listening to their meldley from their one for all tour, you'll hear their normal voices and it sounds absolutely amazing. Such a massive tallent.

The other thing about this (and many other songs they did) is how perfect the instrumental support is. Excellent blend. It doesn't overpower... it fits perfectly.

I remember this (and many more of their songs) when they came out. Obviously, Saturday Night Fever really put them into the stratosphere, but they wer well known far earlier. They "formed" the group the year I was born (1958), so that's always been one of my favorite trivia questions. They could (can) harmonize the way only siblings can... effortlessly and seamlessly. I don't always witness YOU getting goosebumps, so that was special! Great reaction!!

--------------------- Thank you for your observations and reaction to The Bee Gees! They are my favorite group and I subscribed to your channel just now! Here’s a list with my interpretation of what genre I think they fall under: Too Much Heaven (R&B) Went to #1 YOU JUST DID THIS ONE How Deep Is Your Love (R&B Ballard), went to #1 Staying Alive (disco), went to #1 Night Fever (disco), went to #1 You Should Be Dancing (R&B or disco), went to #1 Fanny be tender with my love (R&B). Quincy Jones said this was his favorite R&B song. It’s a favorite of mine too. Jive Talking (R&B), went to #1 Nights on Broadway (R&B/Funk)..you’ll hear the brothers “natural” voices in this song. Tragedy (Techno? Pop) It also went #1 More than a woman (Disco/R&B) One of the best love songs ever made! Love you inside out (Funk/pop), went to #1 To love somebody (R&B) One of their earlier hits, from 1967!!! You’ll see how young they were. Massachusetts (pop/country), went to #1 Wind of Change (funk/r&b), live 1975 from the Midnight Special or live from their 1979 Spirits tour. They sing in their natural voices on this song. Alone (pop): One of the songs they made late in their career. Love So Right (R&B), One of Barry’s best falsetto songs ever. Words (pop, 1979 Spirits Tour). Barry pours his heart out on this song and they show his wife & son on screen some while he was performing it. Lonely Days (pop). One of the first songs they wrote after they got back together when they briefly broke up in 1969 then got back together in 1970 to write this. You Win Again (pop), If you want to hear some 80’s Bee Gees, this is a good one. Went #1 in the UK Run to Me (pop) How Can you mend a broken heart (R&B). The other song they wrote when they first got back together after a brief breakup. It was also their first #1 in the US Kiss of Life (rock). Shows a diverse side of them. One (pop), their last top 10 hit in the US Wedding Day (pop), a single they wrote for their wives! All of them had been married for a while. Barry is will married to this day to Linda for over 53 years! Rest Your Love on Me Awhile (country). Shows diversity! Bodyguard (R&B), Robb really shines on this song that could have been played on any R&B radio station! For Whom the Bell Tolls (pop), again, Robin shines on this one. Blue Island - live (pop). This song shows the perfect blend & harmony the brothers have. Especially if you do the acoustic one. Just the 3 of them with 2 guitars! Our Love, Don't Throw it all away-Bee Gee's or Andy's version (pop). After their brother Andy passed, they started performing this during shows in honor of him. Secret Love (pop). I love the best to this song! Barry & Robin leads. This is Where I Came in (live) (pop). From the very last CD they ever released. There is a live version out there from a tv show. That's a great one to see how they have evolved into the 2000's! The 1989 One for all tour medley (excellent vocals & some humor). This is a little long (over 12 min), but they go through about 7-9 songs in this medley with just the 3 of them around 1 mic either Barry in the guitar. If you want to see them (the Bee Gees) and how they work in the studio try: (A) the making of their song "Tragedy" from 1979 (B) The making of the song "Just in Case" (C) The making of the video "This is Where I Came in" from their last cd in 2001

I love Bee Gees and I love you! Please keep doing these analysis, they're brilliant!

Bee Gees are amazing singers and songwriters!!

Bee Gees born on the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 of the coast of Britain 🇬🇧, this performance of ( To Much Heaven) was a children’s charity event for UNICEF and the three brothers donated the proceeds to the charity, Bee Gees the only band in history to have Written, produced, and recorded 6 N01 hits in a row, also they had the best selling album of all time until Michael Jackson brought out his ( Thriller) album, Jackson mentioned his inspiration for his Thriller album came from the Bee Gees, The brothers Gib first and foremost always considered themselves songwriters before being Vocalists, but they are outstanding singers, no Auto Tune in them times just pure talent,the brothers were considered to be one of the best songwriters ever, they have written songs for many famous artists to many to mention and for films,I attended a Bee gees live concert in Las Vegas in 1997 called one night only, The brothers were phenomenal live,the guys have sold over 260 million records worldwide over 6 decades, great reaction thanks 🙏

Their harmony was unbelievable!

I never get tired of listening to The Bee Gees. ❤

Always great to see someone falling in love with this song for the first time yet being insightful and not merely melting! For a higher register voice I would love to see you analyse Thom Yorke from Radiohead who can make you feel a wide range of emotions. There's great live versions of "Paranoid Android" on Later with Jools Holland or "Street Spirit (Fade out)" in Yokohama. Totally different but that's Radiohead

🇨🇦 Wanna see some Magic ?? Try reacting to "You should be Dancing" and you will see 3 Bee Gees turn into 4 Bee Gees ! 🇨🇦

I love the Brothers Gibb. So many great songs. Dive in, you wont be sorry.

Oh I enjoyed your thoughts on this song so much! I’ve loved their music since 1975 and still get those goose bumps every time I hear them. I even met Barry and Maurice and they were truly delightful.❤ Hope to hear your reaction to more of their music!

and they all sounded this good without auto tune or any other enhancements.. this is what Real Talent is like... you can tell instantly how much talent they have.

Great reaction. It’s good when a professional vocalist and coach, breaks the song down to its core. You touched on every bit of their performance. You must react to “for whom the bell tolls”live version in NY city. You will enjoy. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

Could you imagine Tim Foust dropping in. From one extreme to the other.

Fun fact, the Gibb brothers were born in Isle of Man

If you watch the video for Fanny Be Tender, you will see Barry and Robin use both there falsetto voices and their "real" voices.

The falsetto style was a late, accidental discovery while Barry was playing around in the studio, and it saved their careers. Check work from the 60s or very early 70s for the early ballads, often rather dark, such as Gotta Get a Message to You. Can also check younger brother Andy's "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" on which the older brothers sang back up.

I saw them live. Sold over 100 million records. No auto tune.

Do you know how deep is your love is from Saturday night fever too much heaven is after Saturday night fever this is from spirit having flown lp.

They wrote over1,000 songs, hits for other artists, whole albums too. Try Jive talking, Robin did I started a Joke. Mo did lead on some songs too, his voice was deeper. Staying Alive is the perfect rhythm for CPR so medical students learn it, it saves lots of lives. They got an award.

Love this reaction!!!! The songs with Barry Gibb and Barbra Streisand are so, so good!!!!

They wrote this song, Tragedy and Shadow Dancing (for their brother, Andy) in ONE day! Barry is sadly the only one left and he is still making music!!!!! They donated all proceeds from this song to charity! Robin has some amazing vibrato (I Started A Joke)! One of my favorites is Tragedy!

If you want to hear Barry's normal voice try How Deep Is Your Love.

Hi Jen great reaction ❤

Jenn. Greeat reaction. So many awesome Bee Gees songs and they reinvented themselves along the way so quite different styles as well. Always that great Bee Gees sound. Have you done any John Farnham reactions. He has an amazing voice & is the ultimate showman & all round great guy. Help(The Beatles) wit the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra & his signature song You're the Voice also with the MSO are good starting points. Always do live for John. & When something is wrong with my baby with Jimmy Barnes. ..brilliant & Stone Cold by Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa...So much good Aussie music ❤

The Bee Gees wrote more than 1000 songs, more than 100 Top Ten songs, over 30 albums and had a career over 5 decades. The falsetto songs were only a tiny part of their music but the most famous for the soundtrack for the saturday night fever movie! For their song nights on broadway their producer Arif Mardin asked if one of them can make a high scream at the end of the song. Barry went out, tried it and wondered what sounds came out of his mouth and thus the Falsetto King was born! To hear them speaking and singing a capella with their chest voices react to Bee Gees - Interv. by Michael Parkinson or to Bee Gees -Medley One For All live 1989! please. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-osNgv7Ndap8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BfIMEdc8BdE.html&pp=ygUUYmVlIGdlZXMgbWVkbGV5IDE5OTc%3D

I started A Joke - a brilliant song of the Bee Gees

"Stay Alive" is a big song of theirs!!

The BeeGees were vocal craftsman. Technicians. Pure Genius. RIP Robin and Maurice. You are both missed.

Barry gives you another voice in "Nights on Broadway"

If you want to hear them speaking in their normal voices (and discussing why they started singing falsetto), check out this interview. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YcTYTDODV9Y.htmlsi=84RLefNZ2TQtd_OU

The fact that your channel has been around as long as it has, and you haven’t reacted to this, should be a crime. I’ve seen a ton of your videos, and for you to miss this!!! What??

I can't believe this was actually recorded live...although if not , it would have to be the best lip synching ever seen...from the Wikipedia page: 'They performed it at the Music for UNICEF Concert on 9 January 1979.'

Bee-Gee started when they were kids. They have black and white TV videos.

Great reaction. You would enjoy Medley (1989 in Melbourne), Words (1989 Melbourne) you get to hear speak as well as sing beautifully. Well you hear Barry & Robin speak. ❤

NEW Subscriber here! Love your genuine reaction to skills, talent and art. I am also learning how to be a better vocalist from you. Happy to follow your content!

Maybe interesting for you: 1. the brothers were not able to read music. 2. in the Biografie some time ago someone Said that the Bee Gees own an instrument no one will ever have…. Their voices ❤️…

Jen, The Bee Gees are so underrated. They had hits in the 60’s 70’s 80’s 90’s and 2000’s and had 22 studio albums and 83 singles. They also wrote songs for most of the top artists such as Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, Elvis, Barbara Streisand, Diana Ross, Olivia Newton-John, Yvonne Elliman, Tavares, Frankie Valli, Jimmy Ruffin and Dionne Warwick to name but a few. They wrote over 1,000 songs are in the Songwriters Hall of Fame and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If you want to listen to Oldies that are NEW try this studio recording that recreates “We’ve only just begun” and is from a new singer called Tori Holub. You will be astonished and astounded by the voice and the production quality and her voice is VERY close to the incomparable Karen Carpenter. Here is the link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J95lfJqo9VY.html

Ya cant forget little brother Andy Gibb , young enough he wasnt in the Bee Gees but he had his own solo career , died young but he had Barrys vocal talents

pause-a-palooza!

Three brothers 1 mic...no autotune or digital wizardry...just pure raw talent...the orchestral arrangement SO made this what it is...loved your reaction Jen...a request if i may...would you consider reacting to A-Ha's MTV unplugged version of Take On Me...would love to hear your thoughts

New to your reactions ....loving your love of music

Writers as well.
