George Michael/Seether - Careless Whisper (Pianist and metal head reacts) 

Never heard this cover, but Seether’s hits me emotionally more than the original.

You laugh but perhaps you don’t realize this was written when he was 17 years old. He composed it, arranged it produced it all himself. He worked with the great Jerry Wexler, one of the greatest producers of all time. Jerry produced this for him at Muscle Shoals studio but when George returned to the UK, he realized it had lost its spark. That’s why George produced it himself. He went through 11 saxophone players before he landed on the perfect-one. George could do it all and that’s why this song has over 1 billion streams. I don’t think it’s his best one, his best ones followed this when he became a solo artist in later years. He was phenomenal. Perhaps you find it silly because you just have not discovered all of his music.

5th grade boy-girl party in 1989 and slow dancing with prettiest girl of our class to careless whisper. That’s it for me.

I listen to Seether's cover a lot. So much that I forget it's a cover, and it throws me whenever I hear the original.

I always immediatly trust someone who loves George Michael! ❤️

Careless whisper is one of those songs that makes you think you can sing 😂 love me some George Micheal

GM is one of the greatest singer songwriters of all time. Selling more than 125 million records in his lifetime. He’s a triple threat with being able to also produced all of his own music. It’s rare that a member of a pop group goes on to be even bigger. The man won countless awards, but most importantly, he was most proud of the songwriting awards he won. His music just got better as he got older and his voice matured beautifully.

Careless Whisper is one of those songs you wish you wrote. It's an awesome song. I love this song. I can see 12.7K metalheads making sure nobody can bare witness to them sing out loud the lyrics to Careless Whisper WHAM! style.

I love both versions of this song and they both have their own feeling. But was Seether does to this song hits me harder than the original. Seethers version feels more emotional with the more harsh vocals, and the distorted guitar. Easily in the top 20 cover songs of all time, maybe top 10.

I really re-discovered this great tune because of Seether. Didn't realize how magical it was. I do like the "rocking" style of the Seether version- but the original is a masterpiece! Thanks for the video!

I’m ecstatic….that was out of left field Richard! I share your love for George Michael, I can’t believe it 😂 never expected that would be one of your absolute favorites, but I know why, because that man has an amazing voice and I love it too!

I love the seether cover. If feels more dark to me. Which I prefer.

This was so much better than I imagined it could be. I like some GM too.

It's great when a cover is this good. In This Moment has done a few incredible covers! She did a Phil Collins song and a Blondie song and something else I can't remember

Say whaaaaa??? Y'all didn't like the seether cover at all? 🤯🤯🤯 I'm shook.

George is the best! That's why you love him👍

I can't take the original seriously but that Seether cover is so good!!! Listened so many times, and the ending is sick!!!

Should never feel guilty about some thing you genuinely love! Even if other people make fun of you that’s their issue!

Dont judge a book by its cover 101

Amusing as ever. And loved the No Leaf Clover tease at the start.

Be loud and proud to be a George Michael fan, there is no one like him and there never will be 💜 People that shrug their shoulders when George is mentioned only ever think of Wham! and the Faith era (nowt wrong with either of them) but there is soooo much more to George 💜 Go through his album catalogue and then you'll realise what you have been missing 💜

And thats what METAL dose...even my mother who is a GM fan said thats how this song is suppose to sound hahaha

A Seether exploration would be fun! I love this song. Great reaction, guys!

OMG the Seether version is so good. I can actually understand all the lyrics better

You guys were sincerely having a blast. I love it

You play all night on those piano covers, beautiful and amazing.

I love George Michael! Not feeling the cover! But I love y’all! ✌🏻🫶🏻

Seethers cover of this song just hits the emotions different. Especially, the Please Stay

very cool song, I especially like the way he sings it in Rio

Judson, please do a careless whisper cover. We need it and don’t lie, you know you do too.

They actually covered this song as a joke because they got ask to do a song for something, just happened to go mainstream for em and became a single on their album...

I feel you on this. I am a huge metal head but also have an obsession with Prince. I'm often giggled at about that one...lol

Hey guys 🤚 love an 80’s tune. YES PLEASE to some covers by Judson! Hope you are both well 🤟 🤍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️ Raine

Loved No Leaf Clover at the start!

Love the back and forth

I haven’t worked out what I find so endearing about you two. I don’t know why sometimes I feel I know what the ‘in’ joke is but i don’t know no one why I can’t work out which one of you is being cheeky sometimes and and whose worse! Funniest RU-vid music reaction - I got a note- when did this start… I didn’t need the rest of the note to fall off my chair Clever, very silly, sausages.

Led Zeppelin - No Quarter / Tool - No Quarter would be interesting

Its a great song

Lol I love George Michael too. "A Different Corner" and "I Can't Make You Love Me" - live versions are awesome. "Dont let the Sun go Down of me" with Elton John is fantastic. Careless Whisper is a classic and Seether did a cool cover of it - sure it is a bit basic but I love the vocals, and that "please stay" part. :D That bass and sax in the original are awesome.

I wana see or hear Judson in his wheelhouse. That'd be awesome. I like the new location. What's the story behind it? Cool tho!

Guys Listen to listen without prejudice

both are great,,cuz its a great song

I am just enjoying this as it is, loveable conversation and yes I do love the Gerorge Micgael song as well and not for only the bass part, he composed plenty of incredibe songs but rather listen this metal cover, I really appreciate your honesty, but ok all is fine please get back to Tool or perfect circe judith any other I feel like you are my friends

Jud could definitely sing that one, no doubt he’s got the range

I’m not as big of a GM fan but even though I shouldn’t, I love this song. He has others that are good but this is the only one I ever remember. I like a lot of Seether and their version is good. I should like the Seether version better but I still like GM’s. I’m rather narrow in the music I like but every once in awhile I’m surprised by something from left field.

Feel like Seether did the emotion and passion of the song's lyrics more justice than GM. So I feel that the cover is better in that sense. I feel like it's a similar situation to the The Sound of Silence cover by Disturbed.

Type O Negative's LOVE YOU TO DEATH or just anything Type O Negative!

Elton and GM singing don’t let your son go down on me 😂

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio covered this beautiful song in a fun way a couple years ago. Check it out. Those poor guys in Seether… dang bruh. L o L. ❤

and it's not even April Fool's!

I don't know if you guys take suggestions, but I'd love to see Judson react to Falling In Reverse - The Drug In Me Is You, the original and then the reimagined version that's played with classical instruments.

Random inspiration for some Steely Dan came when Jud started playing the piano at the end. He seems to like “groove” bass lines and such. Steely Dan is amazing for that stuff. Plus killer piano stuff. Hard to suggest but Royal Scam or Aja would be good.

Seeing Judson make fun of Richard for his guilty pleasures is my new guilty pleasure hahaha.. was never a fan of George Michael, or Seether, and definitely not a fan of the song, but the saxophone line is undeniably fire.. even if it's possibly the definition of 80s cheese haha

Pretty Please Richard, would you react to GM videos/songs and live performances on your channel if possible? Really want to hear your thoughts on his catalogue.

Jesus to a child

It will be very intereseting to see your reaction to the "metal" cover of moonlight sonata, 3rd movement , by Tina S (at electric guitar). Beethoven was a metal head haha 🤘

I was thinking while the video was playing that you should do the same type of reaction with Gerry Rafferty and foo fighters Baker street.

Yall are on crack. Seether’s version blows the original out of the water and it isn’t close

The seether version of this tho...

That George Michael grilling was like a Senate hearing lol..

Its odd, I prefer the vocals of Seether's cover, but you really can't beat that sax solo.

Hey, I don't comment a lot here but why not some Canldemass reactions? 😮 you guys became my favorite music reaction channel

Please make LED zeppelin no quarter or kashmir

Deadpool has made Careless Whisper extremely tolerable for me personally. I can’t stand Seether’s cover.

Look at those two geezers laughing at the beginning of the original hahaha.. guys, I love me some George Michael. Amazing soulful singer. There is this MTV Unplugged version of his album Listen Without Prejudice (what a great album title!) on which he sings a cover of the Stevie Wonder song 'They Won't Go When I Go' - I mean.. how darkspirited do you want to go? That is a heartchilling version.. Hating Seether even more right now 😝 (naaah, the cover is quite nice, but i am just not into Seether. Horrible 'stale' vocal compared to George Michael)

You're cute❤

What’s so funny?!

😆

GM lover once again proving that not all heavy metal lovers are meatheads. Lol.

Sorry to say but Seether did it 100% better. It was more intense the way Seether did the song. George sounds like he phoned it in.

Highly disappointed in Seether for covering such a shit song.

Interesting to see Judson without his glasses. Y'all are some goofy bastards and I love it!🤣 Please do Hey ya! by OutKast and Sleep Token next time you do a double. 🤘🔥🤘❤️🫂

Loved No Leaf Clover at the start!
