Don't Speak by No Doubt Reaction 

The story goes that No Doubt never made it big until Gwen and the bassist broke up and she started writing songs about it. The rest is history. This is one of those songs.

She's a natural born entertainer. Great voice.

Many videos of this time had live stage footage-kind of a grunge authenticity thing. Otherwise, the video highlights how the media and to some degree their record label wanted to put Gwen out front as the commercial sell instead of the whole band. The idea of selling records on her beauty as opposed to the total group talent. Over 500 subs-nice job Cash!

First thing you said "A very young Stefani" ..I was shocked too, but she's like 32 or 35 here..crazy.

I love their song "Spiderwebs"... Great grove and lyrics!!!

Gwen dated the bassist of the band, Tony Kanal, for several years and she wrote this song after he broke up with her. They decided he should stay in the band in spite of the breakup. They have said in an interview that performing this song live was like opening up a wound each time and was emotionally draining for both of them. I thought the video perfectly shows this complicated dynamic between them and Gwen's heartache. The video also shows a secondary story of the jealousy the male band-mates felt at the media attention Gwen was getting when they rose to fame. I really think it's a great video with a great story! I guess I can see how it doesn't make sense if you don't know the backstory. Hope people will give it another chance knowing that the emotions expressed by all the band members in the video are real and raw :) BTW, I like your rating system, haha.

Good morning Cash 🤗

Very nice reaction, and welcome back 👍

Your honesty is refreshing.

Got my wine and weed sitting on my balcony here in Australia just working my way through your stuff, loving it!

Hi Cash! Great reaction. I think your honesty regarding not really caring for the video but liking the song, is what we're here for. This kind of reaction is what will get you to your first 1k subscribers.

Hi Cash. Nice to see a new upload 😊. No Doubt are one of the most radio friendly bands around so I’m very familiar with the song. You chose a good one. I’m with you, I found the music video quite disjointed. Still, it’s a great song. Nice to see the dog lending moral support in the background 😊😊.

Gwen so pretty always enjoyed this song thanks for sharing your reaction!

One of my favorite songs. I love this song. Nice to see your reaction video. Good stuff indeed 🙂👍Who knew Gwen would go on to become the wife of Blake Shelton? Not me

This is a song she wrote about the bass player Tony Kanal after they broke up and i dig the feeling she puts in to the song and the subtle videography shots of Tony

I’m so happy I found this channel

Please do “just a girl” and “Sunday morning” by no doubt. My favorite songs by them. Also maybe some Amy Winehouse- (wine 😂 get it?) Valerie the studio version

I’m Just a girl is my anthem

I still remember the lyrics

I like your honest reactions! You just got a new subscriber

Hello cash. I'm glad I came across your channel.

I like an honest reaction. Gwen burst onto the music scene with No Doubt’s Just A Girl, and she was a phenomenon like Kate Bush or Christie Amphlett or Cyndi Lauper, just writing a new style for female performers… hell, any performers, really. Don’t Speak was the second single I knew of theirs, and I thought it showed a huge range when sat beside Just A Girl. I loved both songs and videos. They were a great band with their own style.

Nice reaction. Give us more!

Thanks. Remember this well huge when I was 16

This song reminds me of a breakup. You have 2 beautiful dogs. Nice.

Think part of the video was about the band itself everyone knew her name the guys not so much I dont remember there names in interviews nobody cared to ask them a question the camera loved her

video shows corporate fixation on her instead of the band as a group and how that tears the relationship/friendship of the band members apart. Great song and reaction, I like the honesty.

Watching old school Gwen on stage makes me really miss No Doubt. They started off as a ska-punk band and performances were very energetic. Something I like about the Tragic Kingdom album's music videos (like this one, Just a Girl and Sunday Morning) is the ordinariness of the life depicted. There's no reason why someone who plays or even just listens to music like ska-punk can't also want to wear a nice simple dress or even be glamorous once in a while. Or make (in the Sunday Morning video) an overly romanticised meal after band practice. People are multifaceted.

I honestly feel like I'm watching Mrs Brady react to these old songs.....I do like that your reactions are honest and not full of fake gushing. I'm a little confused because I'm 47 and know all these tracks well - I feel like you should too but maybe your 90s music experience was a little different to mine. Keep posting :)

Love this video and the story it's telling and Whoa! I thought I saw that stuffed Dalmatian dog move. I then realized, one is a real dog and one is a stuffed animal.

Great to see you back Cash! ✌

great honest reaction, you are gorgeous aswell!

I love this song 👍

Oh wow I loved the video

Gwen started out with this LA Ska band, No Doubt, which blended Mexican folk, Punk and Ska. The Video was created to promote the band, more so than the song. The song refers to a broken relationship between Gwen and Kanal, the bassist. There's other videos for this if you're interested.

Probably her bet song to be honest.

Hi Cash, This is Kevin & am new to your channel. This popped up on my page & decided to check it out... Nice reaction, Thank you for that... Truly a beautiful song about a broken heart/breakup. I can agree with you on the video, But will also say that a lot of music video's Don't always have anything to do with the actual song/lyric's... And for that, Thankfully We listen to music/song's.... As especially during the 80's You could play a cd picking out almost any song, Crank it up & have your tv on but the volume off & the majority of song's Usually blended quite well with what was on the tv screen. Music video's are nice But really all they are is short little movies with the music being the soundtrack for them, Not all music video's are like this & it's really great when one actually has meaning to the song that's playing. Probably why I usually just listen to the song especially when it's a first time hearing it. I have subscribed to your channel, Looking forward to watching more of your reaction's As you open the door to new music in your life Thanks Again & Cheer's from Canada! Oh do you also do request's for song's to react to? Stay safe & Always take good care!

Rumor has it that Cash had a bit too much wine and had to take a break.

Lei ha una voce bellissima ed è una vera rockstar....

Hi Cash, welcome back to the interweb and good afternoon from the Midlands of England. I've just caught you after doing my civic duty of voting in local elections, some of which were postponed from last year due to a Chinese global biological attack. Thanks for doing a No Doubt reaction. I don't blame you for not crashing this with a lot of commentary, I was really enjoying listening to this again after so many years, not my favourite No Doubt song but it was good to hear something of this quality again. I don't recall seeing this video before. I also lost the plot because I find it distracting that Gwen Stefani switches between a 1940s throwback look with the wavy hairstyle and the patterned dress, and then a Madonna look, which I don't really appreciate. She should just be herself, as you say, she's terrific. This song was their second hit in the UK in 1997, but their only one to reach #1 in the charts. My favourite No Doubt song is It's My Life from 2003, a cover of a song by British 80s band Talk Talk. I also recommend Gwen Stefani's solo song What You Waiting For, from 2004. While I think about Talk Talk, they had some great hits with their debut single called Talk Talk in 1982, It's My Life in 1984, and Life's What You Make It in 1986. Which version of It's My Life is best? I couldn't possibly say. All of these deserve the full bottle of wine as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for this. I'm currently on coffee right now, but... down the hatch!

Well I didn't care for the wormy orange at the start, but Gwen Stefani more than made up for that! 😊 While I like "Hella Good" much better, "Don't Speak" is a solid song. Brews as follows: 🍺🍺🍺 P.S. I love that Dalmatian!

you earned a sub from me! I always love when I'm assuming you're a baby boomer, reacts to my generation of music!

Gwen got the dress at a thrift store.

Love your doggy!!!! Love Gwen Stefani/Shelton!!!! BTW, you are a beautiful woman!

omg that is a real dog in the backround

I saw the 2 dalmatian stuffed animals in the background, then one of them moved and I was like "He's real!" Haha. I am sorry you only gave this a partial glass, but that's your reaction as you say and all is good. Sometimes the video enhances the music, sometimes not. In this case, the song was written about Gwen and her band bassist Tony Kanal. I think they dated for several years, then he broke up with her. What makes this song amazing to me is that Tony still was part of the band even as they performed this song, and he knew it was about him and Gwen.

The song is nice .. But so are you. Greetings from Norway. 😀

Video is pretty clear. The band was jealous of Gwen for getting all of the attention. The photographer in the video is cutting the guys out of the photo shoot.

She was singing to the bass player that picked the forbidden fruit! Very angry at him!

That was cool ! you should react to R.E.M Everybody hurts 😊

They do a great version of Obla di obla da live (spell check please) if your a Beatles fan😀

Yeah, I was going to say Sunday Morning, Justva Girl, even Tragic Kingdom. Hurt by Johnny Cash. I'm trying to find something that Mz. Cash will love. Maybe some Demi Lovato power songs?!

React to sunday morning by no doubt

Love Gwen but have to say I don’t care for the vid either …at all but Gwen I’ll listen to everyday!

my gf said the same thing about the video until i told her the backstory lol

Anyone else curious about the wine?? Did I miss the memo or can we guess?? If it hasnt been mentioned...can I guess a Sauv Blanc? Just throwing darts but could be a fun Wine Not side game.

Check out Baby I Love Your Way by Will To Power

Hi. Sugestion Don't Speak No Doubt version Haley Reinhard Postmodern Jukebox. Fenomeno. Bye

I don’t think you got the video. It was about how once they became successful, Gwen was a star and the other band members were shoved in the background. They were cut out of photo shoots and Gwen would get magazine spreads/covers by herself. When they started out they were all equals. When fame hit, everything became about Gwen. I thought it was brilliant to put that in the video. To show what so many bands deal with when the media separates the singer from the rest of the band.

No Doubt was not rock band their genre was Sky music a mix of rock and Caribbean music.

Please try Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013 you will looove 💙🤟

You should rate the song only.

do Just a Girl, you might just spill your wine all over yourself heh

Hmmm, I love the video & it’s trope about new found success & the “singling” out the new “it” girl that gets the lions share of attention that breeds resentment/jealousy & can lead to the breakup of the band

Please react to The Smiths - I Know It's Over

I like your reactions, but you need todo movies.

So the pretty lead singer is chosen for the cover? What a shocker! Do you want to sell more records? It sounds like a n brainer to me. 🙂

Often the video has nothing to do with the song and IMO is more of a distraction to a really good song such as this. I'm old school and I would rather let the music direct the video of my imagination. A breakup song has a very personal meaning to many of us and I think this one is very poignant. I watch many reaction channels and I understand some people ONLY react to music with a video. There are also those who NEVER use song with a video and concentrate on the music only. I see in this case, you had to split your vote between a song you seemed to like and a video you did not. I am in agreement with you on both counts. I have had the song on my play list since it was released but this it the first time ever I saw the video. I'll keep the song and forget the video. I'm enjoying watching you make your way through this new endeavor. If you enjoy music from this era, try some Garbage; Stupid Girl '95, I Think I'm Paranoid '98, Only Happy When It Rains '95, Cheers.

You look like Gwen

i would say Chardonnay... simply because it looks like florida and sounds expensive...and ofcourse americans cant really say Chardonnay

OMG i think i unblocked something, i find this woman so appealing i think i am in a platónic love.
