Starship Reaction Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now (ARE THEY SLAYING THIS DUET?!?) | Empress Reacts 

This 1987 smash went all the way to #1 and features the legendary Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit," "Somebody To Love," etc .) and one of the greatest male rock vocalists ever in Mickey Thomas (Jefferson Starship's "Jane," Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around And Fell In Love," etc.). With two vocalists of their caliber it's no surprise that this catchy power ballad went straight to the top back in the day. Nice reaction Empress -- this one should be the official Empress+Pressure theme song! 😁💯

Grace Slick has a one of a kind voice that is distinctive. The mold was broken when she was created.

80’s most diverse music. People who could sing and musicians that traveled with the band.

I first heard this song on the soundtrack of the movie 'Mannequin' starring Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall & Meshach Taylor. It was an instant hit.

I like it aloooottt..powerful song..and Grace Slick..one of persona..

The male lead singer, Mickey, was the one singing at the end with the high vocals.

I LOVE this song. That's Gracie Slick from Jefferson Airplane. So powerful.

***STARSHIP TRIVIA TIME!!*** ....don't STOP Empress, now.....(4:33) .... - ....This Band has a looooooong history, so I'll shorten it, for Empress; they were originally Jefferson Airplane (a 60's Band), went thru changes, became Jefferson Starship ( a 70's Soft Rock Band), then Starship, an 80's 'hit Machine' Top 40 / Pop band...then, the DRAMA.... - .... *Grace Slick* (the Woman in the Group 2:14) was sick-sick-SICK of the syrupy-sweet Pop stuff the Group was now doing, & wanted out....she agreed to do this tune (originally meant as a Solo for Mickey Thomas), and was gonna bow out (of the Group), after the single.... - ....the tune was recorded for the 1987 Kim Cattrall flick, "Mannequin" (where a Guy falls in love with a Department store mannequin, who comes to life, at night); the Song hit #1 Pop, and Grace became the OLDEST Woman to hit #1 on the Pop charts (at 47, at the time).... - ....now, Starship had to record a new LP, go on Tour, promote the record, and Grace went, *".....ENOUGH!"* ...and left the group Feb., 1988 .... I'll give charts, later.....

This takes me back to my school years 😊❤❤ Yay 10s across the board!!!! Love it

I like your spirit girl. You have no preconceived judgement. You got an "Ear"😂🎶🎵

Screw the haters, what we have together is much to strong forever ❤.

There was this movie in the late 80s early 90s era called Mannequin that this was the song from. It was definitely one of the movies to ever come out. This song was probably the strongest thing from it and that's kinda saying something.

Love Starship. They had so many great tracks. Mickey and Grace are such top vocalists! Hindley Street Country club does an amazing cover of this too.

We Built This City by them is 100% 80's summer. They couldn't sound more 80's if they tried 🤣

That wasn’t her at the end. All those high belts the last minute or so were the male singer (Mickey Thomas)

Many considered this their sell-out record (this and "We Built This City")... Jefferson Starship was considered one of the late 60's/early 70s counterculture, hippie-trippy, anti-war bands (with songs like 'White Rabbit")... but it's good for some 1980's nostalgic cheese 🤣

🧡 Oh yeah! You can't help sing the chorus on this one! From the 80's move MANNEQUIN staring Kim Cattrell and Andrew McCarthy. TFS!

Gr8 reaction! Classic 80s vibe that's a true "feel good" song.

I am so Happy to see how much you ❤ and related to this masterpiece Empress. I grew up with Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane/Starship and I always loved their great songs especially her vocals. Thanks for another great catch on all the Key elements of this song it's why I love watching your reactions so much enjoying today what we heard so long ago and loving it just as much as we did the 1st time hearing them long ago Great Music is always fantastic No Matter when you you hear it wether it was long ago or today. God Bless you and your Family from your Dallas Texas Fan.🤠

Good one empress !!

Just as you find artists, they find you Empress. I love Madonna which is where I started watching you and now find I’m watching your reactions to more than just her. Shout out to the backs, we vibing and your beautiful daughter chattering in the background make your posts must see reads.

Even though it's some of the most ultimate 1987 cheese, I do have a soft spot for this song. Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas could SING!

The duet consists of Grace Slick formerly of Jefferson Airplane and Mickey Thomas of Elvin Bishop who did the terrific vocal of Fooled Around and Fell in Love. Both are two of the greatest singers ever. You need to check out JANE, Mickey is the dominant singer vocals off the chart.

Sara was their best song

Put your hand in my hand ✋️ 😅 mid 80s power ballads empress 😅

Mickey did a beautiful duet with Donna Summer called “Only the fools survive” .. a single From her 1987 album “all system go.. he’s got an amazing voice!!

I dig how you nail what the song's gonna be three seconds in 😂 You know your stuff. Respect. This is a LATE STAGE for this band. 60's hippie band gone commercial radio pop 20 years down the road. First they were JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, then JEFFERSON STARSHIP, then just STARSHIP. Mickey Thomas (the male singer) is kind of restrained in this song ... he can REALLY belt it out. Check out the song JANE. Late 70s Arena Rock at it's BEST.

Love '80s! Could you react to their songs "We built this city", "Miracles" & "Somebody to love"? "Somebody to love" was one of their songs from the '60s when they were known as Jefferson Airplane, which you previously reacted to their song "White rabbit"

Grace Slick (the woman singing in Starship), she hated this song and the last interview I remembered from the late 2000’s - she called this song in particular 🐴 💩. It did go #1 in 1987 which made her the oldest woman at 47 to achieve this record. Cher beat her record in 1999 at the age 52 when ‘Believe’ went #1. Fun fact: Cher held this record for decades until last year. Brenda Lee hit #1… with ‘Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree’ she was 79 to achieve this new record and beat Cher’s record. Brenda Lee first went to #1 in 1960, decades ago. I thought Madonna might’ve beat the record in the 2010’s but unfortunately not.

Grace Slick left Starship and retired from music not long after this song. She dismissed the last few Starship hits like this, We Built This City and Sara as commercial crap that she did strictly for the money.

Not my cup of tea. But Jefferson Starship "Miracles" is an iconic mid-seventies tune well worth a reaction.

Didn’t like their late 80s stuff except for “Sarah” which was pretty good. This one and especially “We Built This City“ were pretty bad, and very overplayed, imho… “Miracles” though, now that was a great song!
