Dad Reacts to Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR 

We also reacted to her fantastic tiny desk episode. You guys wanna see that video on the channel? Let me know :)

olivia is half white & half filipino! her mom is from wisconsin so despite the fact that liv grew up in california that could be where your dad was hearing the midwestern influence in her voice bc i’m sure hearing her mom speak growing up influenced how she speaks/sings

i’m gonna throw conan gray’s name out there. him and olivia are best friends. his debut album is produced by dan nigro who also produced sour. super underrated artist imo. really good song writing (taylor swift is his biggest inspiration and you can def hear it in his music. taylor has actually called him and olivia her “children” lol). he puts so so much emotion into his lyrics and you can really feel it while listening. might be worth checking out:)

every time I hear "hope ur ok" I cry a bit, it's such a beautiful song

Dads effort and analysis on this one is curing my daddy issues.Really sweet!

Has your dad or you listened to Taylor Swift outside of her radio singles? She's a big influence to Olivia, she actually sampled her on 1 step forward! Would love to see you react to her new midnights or the evermore/folklore albums!!

love your reactions. Lorde’s first two albums “pure heroine” and “melodrama” are some of the greatest albums of all time and paved the way for billie and Olivia who are both heavily inspired by her. jack antonoff also works with her. she was called the future of music by bob dylan & the Rolling Stones! would love to see you react

I never saw comparison as a bad thing because it’s ok to be influenced and inspired by artists especially when growing up. I never understood why some artist hate being compared positively with a artist that is held in high regards.

I also love jealousy jealousy! It’s such a good double meaning with talking about struggling with body image seeing all of this “perfection” on social media, then also the sentence “jealousy jealousy started following me” also meaning that now she has become more popular, all of these people she previously was envious of are now following her. A wild mind f*ck for self image

Despite her last name, she has no Latin or Spanish influences, her father is of Filipino descent and her mother is of Irish blood. In this case, the surname 'Rodrigo' comes from the father's side. (sorry for my English, I'm from Brazil)

Happier is definitely my favorite song on the album and it was actually the song her producer heard (she made a video on Instagram of her playing the guitar and singing it) that made him want to work with her and specially put emphasis on her writing the songs. And I can see how the dad also felt kinda what the producer did with that song. It makes you sway and just enjoy it completely and feel the music in your soul. Makes you just want to appreciate it and even slow dance.

ANTI by Rihanna is a need because of Super Bowl, Heroes and Villains from Metro Boomin to introduce Mike to good quality trap, and Motomami by Rosalia because I’m Latino 😅.

I love the movement from Brutal to Traitor. It's like she has insecurities, some angst and being vunerable about herself in Brutal and then you go into Traitor and it's like WHO HURT YOU cause this is ROUGH. I will never forget hearing Traitor for the first time. I'm 35 and it brought me back to a previous relationship in my life. The way she was so hurt that you could hear it in her voice. I moved on and it was for the best and I hope for Olivia, that happens for her as well.

She’s really great, can’t wait to see what she does next! I think her lyricism and her ability to try different genres and styles in a short album says a lot about her talent.

My favorite part of this video: the wholesome, fatherly advice from Mike ♥

One of my favorite album in recent years is folklore by taylor swift and its sister album evermore.

This was great 😁 I’ve been obsessed with five seconds flat by Lizzy McAlpine ever since it came out. Would love to see your reactions!

Great reaction! It was mainly produced by Dan Nigro (he also works with Conan Gray). I would love to see you react to either Melodrama by Lorde, or Folklore/Evermore by Taylor Swift at some point. Love all of your reactions though, they help me see some of my favourite albums through new eyes and appreciate them even more.

Fantastic reaction. Subscribed, what you have with your father is special. I wish my dad was still here today

She announced that she will release a new album in August. I look forward to your reaction.

So glad to see you guys doing this one. This album put me in my feels and I’ve never even experienced heartbreak 😂 she’s definitely one of my favorite writers.

Another great reaction video. Olivia, Billie, and AURORA are definitely at the top of my list of modern female artists.

I love that your dad does this with you ❤️❤️

Nice video. It´s so nice to see people, especially men being respectful and enjoying music. I personally love that record because of the writing and how Olivia shows her vulnerability. Without a doubt, one of the best debuts ever.

Love your dad's reaction.

this was amazing !! thank you for the reaction 🥰

hope ur okay never fails to make me cry

Loved your reaction and your father-son relationship from what I saw from your video 🫶🏽

Love how open you are to young female artists ❤

i think you guys should also do Tell Me You Love Me, Dancing with the devil, the art of starting over and Holy Fvck by demi lovato! each of the albums really show how versatile she is and showcase her voice very well!!

I love watching these videos! I recommend reacting to Olivia Rodrigo performing the song You’re So Vain at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! My grandma and I rock out to it all the time💙 her lower register is so pretty

Hi I’m new love your reactions god bless your dad he has great reactions and positive things to say about the songs ❤️

Saw it in another comment so just want to shout out, Lorde's Pure Heroine album is...literally just that. I think both of you would enjoy it. Favorite song would be Ribs, it really leans into the feeling of nostalgia and does it so so well.

after seeing this, i have high hopes for a taylor swift album reaction. olivia and more younger artists are citing taylor as their influence specially when it comes to songwriting (outside the radio hits, taylor is pretty great at making lyrics) folklore and evermore are great picks to start her discography, diving into sounds of folk, singer-songwriter and chamber pop. red can be a great option too if you feel like listening to a mixed bag sonic-wise.

she’s filipino the thing in her voice is a cry it’s like her signature it’s to add extra emotion

conan grays debut album kid krow is really good, also produced by Dan (the one that produced sour) it’s so good and he’s so underrated you guys would really appreciate his songwriting!

would love to see y’all react to this is what it feels like or minor by gracie abrams! she was a big influence for olivia when writing sour

you shoud watch olivia and her producer dan nigro talking about the making of, they are a great duo, this album is amazing

I like that I read somewhere that Sour is the stages of grief or the stages gone through in a breakup. Because you get mad, sad,jealous, depressed. That explains the continuely bringing up like how they were barely even broken up before he moved on so many times. Also, the fact she's so self aware of her emotions. Like she never bashes Sabrina she only Bashes Joshua if anything she lifts Sabrina up and talks about how she shouldn't take it out on her. Which I think that takes a big person like a very emotionally mature person to not blame the other girl in all of it you know.

Saw a comment about it and decide it to add to it. You guys should do melodrama in my opinion the best pop album I ever heard lorde is one in a lifetime artist Im sure your dad would love it

I'm gonna suggest taylor swift. folklore and evermore are great places to start as new fans. the songs on the albums do have some connections to her personal life, however, the overall theme is made-up stories and characters she thought of during the lockdown period. they're sister albums and are put in the indie-pop genre. also, one thing about listening to her is paying attention to the lyrics. she is a writer above everything else and these two albums showcase that.

Great reaction subscribed! I haven’t seen anyone mention it but one step forward three steps back. The song in the background is a sample from a Taylor Swift song. Hopefully you react to folklore but the sample is from the song New Year’s Day.

you need to listen to Sabrina Carpenter's album "emails I can't send" as she is basically the other blonde girl Olivia sings about and her side is really interesting. Specifically "vicious" and "because I liked a boy"!!!

Incredible artist

I think you two would really like "5 Seconds Flat" by Lizzy McAlpine. Ive been obsessed with ti and she truly deserves so much more attention.

His dad became a fan I could tell. 🤍

love ur reaction!!

I feel like you guys would really like the instrumentals and lyricism of Taylor Swift’s folklore and evermore protects. Highly recommend checking them out!! Love the content!

Thanks dad!

When I first heard this album, although I liked every song, I thought the final 3 tracks were head-and-shoulders above the rest. Surprisingly so at the time. I still think that, maybe even more so. Maybe it's an older guy thing? 🤣Nice reaction, thanks!

That was beautiful

I just watched some of your videos (taylor swift's folklore react brought me here) and you and your dad seem like great people... can't wait to watch the new video about speak now (and i think you should definitely listen to red taylor's version too), and also to meet some new artists in the future! do you intend to make a video about olivia's new single, "vampire"? I hope so, looking forward to hearing your opinions about it. Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work :)

ALWAYS HAVE TO TURN THE VOLUME THE FUCK UP FOR THE BRIDGE IN FAVOURITE CRIME OH MY FUYCKING GOXDDD

btw Olivia Rodrigo is half Filipino btw just like Steve Lacy, Bruno Mars and Dominic Fike

She’s definitely the bridge queen

Love watching. Your videos. She didn’t work with Jack Antonoff though. The 2 songs with songwriting credits (no producing credits) are because she sampled and Taylor and Jack’s work. So, they got songwriting credits for it. But, Olivia did not work with Jack, just added his name to the credits. Really loving watching you and your dad listen to music. would love for you to react to folklore or actually the long pond studio sessions though really gives an inside look at the songs. Or Midnights. Midnights has 21 songs though. But, its really good and may be more upbeat than folklore (which is a masterpiece).

I would love to see you listen toThe Neighborhood, Lana Del Rey or Melanie Martinez ! Thanks for all the time you put into theses amazing videos

Favorite Crime is so good 😭

Stumbled on your series last night and had to subscribe. I’ve been listening non-stop since then! Would love to see you react to The Bleachers since Jack Antonoff did a lot of production for Taylor Swift. Also Human Condition by Jon Bellion. Both older albums but so good.

now would be interesting if you guys reacted to Sad Songs In a Hotel Room by Joshua Basset (Or the EP he made in response to her songs about him) :) I love him as much olivia

Which are your dad's favourite songs off olivia's Sour & billie's HTE respectively? They're both my favs :) Your dad's seems so chill & cool

You should definitely listen to sophie's debut album. A masterpiece

I really loved this! So, for future reaction videos I would sugest Taylor Swift, If you want literary pennmanship and a complex concept album I would sugest Folklore and Evermore! Taylo Swift was one of Olivia's biggest lyrical inspirations, so give it a go! I promise is good

Fun fact she wrote happier when she was 15 years old

I Nedded This ❤

not you saying jealousy jealousy is your favourite, that's so real of you it's my favourite as well!!!

Hope ur OK healed something in me. It makes me feel so seen.

PLEASEEE do Lana Del Rey’s discography! Or at least Born to Die, Born to Die (Paradise Edition), and Ultraviolence. Her storytelling and description of her emotions will make you feel like you’re experiencing it yourself. Just subscribed :)

gonna join all the people begging for taylor reactions

I highly recommend checking out Aurora Aksnes, a Norwegian singer-songwriter known for her hauntingly beautiful music and unique voice. Aurora's music is a perfect blend of indie pop and electronica, with lyrics that are deeply introspective and explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.

Also, the valley girl or latina voice you were explain is her light almost nasaly like Vanessa Hudgens voice. Which takes a lot of air so its a light nasaly airy tone and voice. Which explains why her voice seems so different than others or unique.

Harry Styles self titled album should be next, great reaction btw❤

i'd love to see a reaction to superache by conan gray!! it has some songs with really deep meanings for example family line and astronomy. and i would just really love to see the reaction to memories, cause that song is just amazing and especially the bridge

id love to see you guys react to harry styles albums! I feel like your dad would at least appreciate how the perception of harry from his boy band days is definitely not what you find in his solo work. much like billie eilish being "just a poster with one hit"

I’ve never seen a good reaction to my favorite album of all time, women in music part 3 by Haim & I think y’all should give it a chance!! my favorite rock artists currently and they’re so overlooked which is unfortunate

I’d love if you’d do anything by Beyoncé. Lemonade for cultural and conceptual, 4 for a classic R&B or even her new album would be cool !

Ima say it again idk how you feel about NF but id love to see yall follow those albums

good video, i think your dad would enjoy nfr! and for emma, forever ago

💜💜💜

Please do folklore/evermore from Taylor swift. Her lyrics and storytelling are insane and much slower and not as pop-ey as her radio singles. Loved this btw just subbed!!

I would love if you listen to Joshua Bassett, he started on the same show as Olivia and is the guy the album is allegedly about.

jack antonoff is only in the credits once and thats because of the interpolation of new years day, he was not involved in the making of sour

Some recommendations: Steve Lacey - Gemini Rights (very unique imo, strong lyrics) Ariana Grande - Thank U, Next Ed Sheeran +, x, ÷ (strong lyrics, personal favorite is x) Ben Platt - Sing to me instead (strong vocals) Mazie - the rainbow casette (very unique and creative) Dodie - Human, Build a problem (strong lyrics, unique & creative) Melanie Martinez - K-12 (creative, good lyrics, unique) Thee Sacred Souls - Thee Sacred Souls (good vocals, great vibe, unique) Sybille Baier - Colour Green (can't say anything about it, it's just special) Lawrence - Living Room (good vibes and unique) Finneas - Blood Harmony (for obvious reasons w what you guys said in your billie videos) Arctic Monkeys - any album, they're amazing Hozier - Wasteland, Baby! (strong vocals, lyrics, creative imo) Harry Styles - Harry Styles (it's versatile and just so good, strong vocals, strong lyrics, creative) That's all I can think of right now Some are basic recommendations but I feel like they only deserve that title if it's good enough for many ppl to actually recommend it ❣️ Am excited for ur upcoming videos

Hope pops gets to listen to some Drake soon! Curious to see how he likes 40’s production and those two kind of growing together over the years

Olivia is actually Asian/European. Her father is Filipino while her mom is German/Irish.

yall should listen to melodrama by lorde! great sonics, definitely worth a listen

Next one emails I can't send by Sabrina Carpenter please🙏🏻✨

Need that lil yachty reaction

Would love to hear your opinions on any of Harry Styles' albums :) Preferably Harry's House for a start. Great video, really enjoyed your guys' input. Keep going :))

Would love to hear your thoughts on any albums from The 1975! ❤️

This video made me realize how badly I wanna see SOFTcore by Fousheé on the channel lmao.

Emails I can’t send by Sabrina Carpenter next please!!!

I would love to see your reaction to Halsey especially her recent Album called „ if i can’t have love i want power“ She is very talented and creative, this album actually is veeeeery different from her older stuff, sound wise , but lyrically she is a poet . Her older 3 Albums and 1 Ep Are also amazing and have so many great messages and story telling❤

superache by Conan gray is an epic listen

You guys should listen to the album folklore by Taylor swift very poetic and lyrical album 😊

Now that you have listened to Sour you have to listen to Emails I cant send by Sabrina Carpenter- but you have to do a little research into the back and forth of this album coming out and Sabrina getting hate for dating the same guy as Olivia. It was insane the amount of backlash she got because of this album. Emails I cant send is not all about this situation, but definitely does have a strong now this is my side of the story aspect. I personally like Sabrina’s album more, but Sour is good too.

18:29 olivia is not latina. she's asian haha. filipina to be exact. i get it tho, both the philippines and latin america were colonized by spain. it's why we have similar last names.

I think Enough for You sounds most like a Taylor Swift song. If you liked that song, i think you'll love Taylor Swift.

1:35 she was in 2 Disney shows so this confused the hell outta me. Like “why would he say she got scouted from bizardvark- oh wait”

an r&b listen: give or take by giveon
