Check intense original, get back here | MONSTER - JAMES BLUNT | First time reaction 

Such a risky concept made for an amazing video. Things clicked later on in the video, but I was disturbed after a few seconds. Somehow rambled this video to 18+ minutes, things like that can happen on such an emotional first impression. All credits and love go to James and his dad. Amazing suggestion, hope you’ll can appreciate the honesty and rambling haha Much love Jesse

James dad was actually dying from kidney disease & this was his tribute & farewell to his dad. Thankfully his dad received a donor kidney & is doing okay now. If this song doesn't get to you emotionally, there is something wrong with you. This song resonates with me as I was my dad's caregiver for 5 years until he passed away 3 years ago.

This wasn't an act, Jesse! This was real raw emotion when he thought his dad was about to die. They couldn't find a match for his dad to have a kidney transplant! This video helped find a donor which was a distant relative also named "Blunt" & his dad is still alive as far as I know! Great reaction! Most male reactors have broken down & cried. Many have had to leave their chair & gain their composure before they finished their reaction! I've cried every time I've watched it!😢

They said the only dry eyes in the studio were Charles Blount. He asked why is everyone crying; I'm still here. James refused any autotune as he wanted the emotions to come thru. Thank God a cousin named Charles Blount came thru with a kidney. Interestingly,his dad himself had been a kidney donor.

How do you think your pitch would be when you're crying and singing a farewell tribute to your father with him sitting next to you. This was shot in 1 take, btw.

This was the first time his Dad heard the song. James’s Dad was dying from stage 4 kidney disease. He only had one kidney as he had donated one years ago. A match could not be found at the time this video was made. A distant cousin came forward after seeing the video and after being tested was a match and donated a kidney to James’s dad and is doing well now. James and his dad are both military and their feelings are not always easy to express. James did a wonderful job in this tribute to his father. Great reaction

The most emotional song I've ever heard. Great reaction.

It's a killer, it's real, shot in one take, all the filming crew were crying. I cry every time, it's life we all go through it. Don't ever forget to hug even when you argue. Most sad song I have ever watched bar none. People whenever you have a row with those you love remember this song

NOT A PERFORMANCE..A shared experience. James and his dad are brave and courageous. James always gives 100%, pierces our soul, and gives us permission to share ours.

Authentic reaction. I cannot tell you how many of these reaction videos I've watched on this particular song, probably 70 or more and I've only come across ONE that someone did not cry....ONE. It's from the heart. If you're at all human, it will radiate to you also. I have noticed that when it comes to men watching it they seem to stop it at the parts that are the toughest and I think it's to kind of regroup themselves from stopping the tears of emotion.....it doesn't work though, at least not from what I've seen. BUT nothing is wrong with showing you have a heart. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THAT. ❤

Such a raw and beautiful song. The pitchieness and quivers are what makes it so authentic. Producers wanted to use auto tune to fix it but James refused. Glad he did! I have seen this 30 times and it still gets me!

James wouldn't use autotune. He wanted the raw emotion to be conveyed to all of us. I wish you would have read the back story before you commented !

Beautiful song...melting

I think we as people who love to watch reactors, like to connect sometimes, & showing vulnerability with us, does that......thank you for being vulnerable & raw with us ❤

I love James Blunts artistry. This is so powerful. This is as real as it gets.

Tjis was a great reaction. An honest one. I absolutely love this song. I cry every single time I hear it. The video breaks me. I'm post-transplant myself. And it was incredibly hard on my two young Sons. They were terrified! My youngest was 8 and my oldest was 11 years old. And this broke my heart.more than having to have life saving surgery. I prayed before surgery that I be able to live long enough to see them grown. Into good young Men. They are grown. I'm shockingly still here. Minus 5 & 1/2 organs.😆 Buy. Still here. 75% people who have my surgery are dead in 4 years. God is Good!

Very brave and honest reaction. Bless you.

What?????! its so real!!!!!

How can you say it is an act. There us so much raw pain in his dace and voice

James es uno de mis artistas favoritos....en una lista de 10 ...

Wow! We all have difficult feelings about our families/parents, and this hit me hard. I see it hit you too. Thank you.

Another really good James blunt song is a song called the greatest. That one made me cry as well

Beautiful 😢❤️

It's not a performance. He was living this. I've lived it too. This song destroys me every time. They did this in 1 take with Dad next to him. Whose voice would not break?

That old man next to James was his father biologically speaking

Your reaction was honest and appreciated.

I loved your reaction.

He wrecked us all…lol…thanks for reacting!

His Father had kidney failure with a rare blood group. Great news his Father received a new kidney and is alive and well. A thoughtful, relative, connectable song.👋

Even the piano chords were mournful...

As you've read, his father was dying here, and really no hope. They'd tried every avenue with no success. James adored his father so the tears are real. All the proceeds from this song James gave to veteran charities in the UK....

I lost my mother, last September, and we had a simultaneous deeply loving relationship and a rocky one due to her not accepting my transition. This song eats me up inside, but it's so beautiful all at the same time.

Brilliant reaction. It gets everyone like that. Great when you show your emotions. ❤

i loved your honest reaction

You have to react to James Blunt - The girl that never was

One take..no auto tune.

❤️🤗

4:26 Watch the rest of the video..let the Real story unfold..take care ❤🙏

Bless you brother 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi Jesse. Time to get back to Aurora! Please react to Lucky at them Nidarosdomen concert. I'm sure you'll like it

💕💕💕🇨🇦

I think a lot of people are being too hard on you. They wanted your reaction and they got it. I disagree with your comments but I respect them. It's not an easy song to react to, especially for a man.

Years earlier James Dad donated a kidney. Also all proceeds go to helping veterans.

When a grown man says Daddy you know its real.

i've lost my wife, 6 years ago..of breast cancer.. and i hv just found this video 3 days ago.. it s intertersting music video for me

This song always hits hard. I subscribed immediately. If you have a few spare minutes, please react to Mother by Ina Wroldsen. My mom passed away in March and that song is just beyond awesome ❤️

There's James own reaction to the video on RU-vid available. Look for 'James Blunt reacts'.

Where are you from? Do you have accent from Europe?

you have beautiful eyes

Why don't the folk that critique these songs do a bit of background research first

handsome man :)

Everyone hurts at different rines ...its ok 2 feel llike shite ...jus take orhers feelings into consideration. U seem like aa lovely fella ?

Shame hid didn't write and sing a happy dance tune to his dying daddy.
