NEVER THOUGHT This Would Work! | WITHIN TEMPTATION ft. XZIBIT - "And We Run" (REACTION!!) 

Wanna know the most badass part of that song? Within Temptation let Xzibit write his own lyrics for the song. Sharon said they wanted his lines to be natural and not feel forced, so when they brought him in, they gave him the song and said write yourself into it

The thing about Sharon as a singer is that she could have entered any market. Her voice would equally suite EDM, eurovision style songs...or any genre equally as mainstream...but I'm glad she put her efforts into this kind of music as we are able to appreciate the true epic nature of her vocal range and emotion.

I didn't know I needed this in my life. This is amazing. I love Xzibit's gruff voice mixing with her beautiful angelic screams.

I remember hearing the 'The Silent Force' album back in 2004 and falling in love with them immediately! Pale is beautiful, also love Memories, Angel and Somewhere off that album as favourites. I still sing them to this day. She inspired me to sing and join my band back in my 20's, along with Epica, Evanescence and Nightwish. That's my kind of range 🖤

Within Temptation feat: Howard Jones - Dangerous Jacoby Shaddix - The Reckoning Keith Caputo - What Have You Done Anders Fridén - Raise Your Banner Tarja - Paradise (What About Us?) (2021 Edit: Annisokay - Shed My Skin is such a banger) Boy this band really knows how to make awesome collabs!

Definitely an underrated song by Within Temptation, one of my personal favorite underrated songs by them is Lost. Sharon puts a lot of emotion in that song and one of my favorite songs by Within Temptation.

Wow. His bars and her voice is MAD!!!!

So pumped you finally got to check this song out. It's always been one of my faves from them, and definitely one of my all time fave collab's. It's also not as popular as some of their other music, which to me, is a great way to truly find the talent of the group. It's hard to blend genre's and do it while staying true to the core of each... They did that here. I'm glad you enjoyed the song, and to all those just discovering these folks, you should check out their other stuff. I'm not a huge rap fan, but I do enjoy alot of xzibit's stuff. I love Within Temptation, and have yet to find a song by them I don't enjoy!

Within Temptation is so underated here in the states i fell in love them when i herd there song Jillian

Try ''Within temptation ft Howard Jones - Dangerous'' You'll love it

Love that you reacted to this song! And Xzibit killed it! I am not into rap...but I have always enjoyed his music for some reason! He doesn't disappoint his audience in this collaboration with Within Temptation!

The Heart of Everything for her perfect vocals

Not many reactors react to Within Temptation. I'm glad that you do, they're such a good band. Try Within Temptation - A Demon's Fate

This is why I love your channel, you either react to a song I love or you react to something I've never heard and then I love hahaha

All of their songs are amazing.

crossovers in music will always work. its a just a matter of just finding the perfect partner to make it work. X to the Z was/is the perfect compliment to Within Temptation, so much that they could do multiple songs together and it would work. Within Temptation could get an R and B singer with the right voice, and it would work perfectly. Musical synergy exists no matter the genre.

The Howling / The Promise / What Have You Done - definitely worth to check! ;)

“Raise Your Banner” by Within Temptation bro!!!

Dude you found the most dope track with the best vocal combo.

Their entire new album, "Resist", is a masterpiece .... Mad World, Raise your banner, The Reckoning.... so many awesome songs!!!

Within Temptation - Dangerous with Howard Jones is another great collaboration as well.

Last time I was this early Tarja was still in Nightwish

Im a metal head but im gettin into hip hop also and this is FREAKIN EPIC 🤟👌

Sharon is a terrific songwriter.

Her voice everytime gives me goosebumps, this is perfect!!!!! this song though is pure heaven Within Temptation - Forgiven

This is One of my favorite songs ever- excellent reaction !!!! Please listen to Solomon hour by Within Temptation live with the metropole orchestra

I Listened to this one so much in the gym in 2016-2018 when I rehabilitated my arms and back after a couple of accident + many years of illness. To push my self past bounderys I thought was impossible. Running, lifting. Getting a my body and self love back.

I've known within temptation 27 years, seen them live 14 times, and Sharon blew me away every time!

We need more Within Temptation reactions from you.

I met Xzibit once when I was working security at a hip hop festival, he wasnt performing just attending as a guest, he seemed pretty cool and was happy that I just treated him like a regular dude and didnt get all star struck... awesome collab here tho

She is so very beautiful... I hope she never loses that about her cause she can sing anything she wants too ...

She has an amazing voice. I get goose bumps when I hear her. Check out "Faster" by Within Temptation. It'll get your adrenaline going

Yo Alex you have to react to Howling and Stand my ground from Within Temptation ... those are the best

React to The Reckoning by Within Temptation The Violence by Asking Alexandria Unreal by Amaranthe Drop Dead Cynical by Amaranthe

When i found about within temptation you might not even born my friend!!!her voice is amazing!!!

This song is sooo powerful and the combination was incredible!!!

Fit for a king-"the Price of Agony" I won't give up

Amaranthe Drop Dead Cynical, please!

Mama Hefner should definitely react to some Within Temptation!!! She would love it!!!

I think this is my fave Within Temptation song. Love the mix of the vocals. Two worlds collide, like you said. Thanks for the vid~

As I Lay Dying: Nothing Left. Then a follow up reaction of As I Lay Dying: The Sound of Truth. The videos go together and are amazing!

Within Temptation-What Have you done

About time for this band to be discovered in North America, I don't know how well they are known but it's about time for us here to discover jewel bands like this. For some people who likes metal but not the growl or brutality of the genre here witch we are used to, it's the perfect balance !! She make a lot of duet songs with many known signers in europe. Here it's possible to pierce here in America she had to tag a legend here, i like the result !!!!!!

perfect juxtaposition. both genres kept intact, complimenting each other, but fully being themselves.

Yeah!! She really does sound like an angel!! You have got to check out Within temptation - Faster, or Stand my ground! 🤟

Oh and! Within Temptation - The Promise, best song ever. Well, maybe in combination with... Mother Earth, also by Within Temptation

You had me at Sharon singing again. Have loved WT's music for years now.

If you don't know who within temptation are, I don't wanna be *your* friend. How about that?

Dream Theater - Panick Attack, and/or Pull Me Under. pleeeaaase :P also, Within Temptation - Ice Queen :)

This was amazing mix of genre's. I love WT and have been a fan of Xzibit for a long time. This song just blew me away when I first heard it and its in a top spot in my favorite songs play list.

Here I am once again telling you to listen to more Architects! Their lyrics are so powerful, would love to see it on the channel

This song legit helped me out some dark times. It hits me in the heart and gut and every time I hear it as it reminds of where I was but was able to get out of the dark. Thanks for reacting and I’m so glad you loved it.

Yes I've been waiting for this. And your reaction was priceless alex loved it and since you loved these two icons together you need to check out within temptation and papa roach(jacoby shaddix) and the song the reckoning it's epic and i know you'll love it. Also Sinead is also one of my favs by within temptation my friend said yo check this band out you'll love them and he played that song and i got chills. Her voice is like an angel you're right i totally agree. Hope you have a dope ass day all my hefnerd peeps✌💜

You have to do Ice Queen from Within Temptation. You will love it.

Y’all, he needs to watch The Truth Beneath the Rose live from Black Symphony! That’s the biggest most metal beat drop I’ve ever heard.

Yessssss I've been waiting for this day.

Not many people have reacted to this one haha love it, another banging song worth reacting to would be dream theatre - a nightmare to remember

This is honestly one of my favorite WT songs. I'm not a rap person so I wasn't sure what to think at first but I absolutely fucking love it.

Wow! Thanx Alex! So glad to see this combination works - hope for me (metal) & my man (hiphop) to blend together in bliss - yeah baby!

I KNEW YOU'D LOVE IT! :D (Everybody in the WT fandom talked so much shit about this collab when it first came out. And, while it's not WT's best of the best, it is absolutely an underrated song.)

Rap and Metal? Anthrax and Public Enemy's "Bring The Noise."

Glad to see you finally did reaction to this song! Been in my playlist for years.

WT with Sharon and Dave Pirner in "Whole world is watching", beautiful! Shows Sharons voice in all its glory!

Somewhere by Within Temptation

Hi Alex! Please react to some power metal. Like Avantasia: the Scarecrow or the raven child or the wicked symphony. You will love it for sure. Greetings from Germany.

Your smile is huge and genuine during this. 💓💓💓💓 I believe Alex you are definately into symphonic rock/metal.

F-ing awsome! I get to know so many bands I haven't listen to before thanx to you. My Spotify-list is growing and growing....

need to react to WAY more Within Temptation

Amaranthe: Amaranthine, The Nexus, Hunger, Helix. It's got the female vocalist, male metal vocalist and the growls, synth and a hard beat. You will love it.. Or something like Forsaken by Within Temptation

I did not know this existed. I'm a huge giant fan now.

I came across this one day years ago looking for new music, I was a Fan instantly, Love this Band, helped me through a real tough part of my life.

Epica - Sancta Terra (feat Floor Jansen) Live Retrospect show

You should try the live version of Somewhere from Within Temptation you'll remain surprise :)

Loved them for years! Finally saw them live last year, they really are JUST THAT GOOD! What a show! If you get a chance don't miss them live.

Goosebumps like crazy then the tears started rolling.

Please react to Kamelot Lair Lair ft arch enemy

If you enjoyed this one, you'll really enjoy her songs 'Stand My Ground' and 'All I Need'. Both by far my two favorite of her songs!! Would really love to get your reaction and input on them. Thank you so much for your videos, I love your content! Keep it coming and thank you again! 🤗

Yes!!! Gave up requesting this a year ago but glad you got there in the end 😂

I have been waiting awhile for this one, one of my favorite songs

My favourite Within Temptation song is Frozen and a shot in the dark

Blind Guardian - Nightfall Love this ❤️

Sharon's voice is like Angels kissing your ears.

Recommended this one via Twitter back in September. Awesome to see it get a reaction! :)

React to more Epica! You're already a fan of Floor and Sharon, so let's show Simone some love as well. :P

Love me some within temptation

For some reason, it took me a while to warm up to this WT collaboration, especially compared to ‘What About Us?’, Dangerous, and The Whole World Is Watching, but I love it more and more with each listen. I’d personally now slot And We Run just behind What About Us? as my favourite of those four tracks.

Love it Alex. I am enjoying your reactions and that was a first for my hearing that song. Keep it up.
