Still crushing on Natalie in 2024

Natalie was acting here in Australia in a soapy before she released this song. I never knew this was a cover until now, she did an amazing job.

This song is actually still played on mainstream radio in the UK, but then neighbours was a big part of TV over here so she is a bigger star over here.

Was in love with Natalie back in the day lol. Michelle Branch and Nelly Furtadi as well.

This is definitely a radio song. I always loved the music video too.

Natalie won a Billboard Music Award for this song and it was nominated for a Grammy as well. The 90's was probably the most talent rich decade for female vocalist since the 1970's. There were a couple of times in this video where Natalie looked a little bit like Sharon Osborne, maybe because if the hair. 🤔😁 Great song, great reaction. 🙌✌️

Natalie is an actress and singer, born in Sydney Australia. She acted in the Australian soap Neighbours as did another Aussie female artist Delta Goodrem

Natalie's acting chops shined through in the video. Her talent didn't get the spotlight in the US she deserved.

Being a rock fan with a Natalie imbruglia collection I feel better now you've done this lol

She's so pretty.

Torn is in many Music Studios the reference Song for Pop Mixing. It is so perfectly balanced production wise.

If you’re going down this road, how about the Natalie Merchant “Carnival” video? A great and unique voice from the early 90s

Great reaction and song! I grew up a rock and metal guy, but I really love melodies. The song has a great melody and add her voice!! To me it makes it a great song.

I never saw this video until now, but the song never fails to spirit me away to another place. Like, hearing it on the loudspeakers at a trendy clothing store.

This song is so fun to play on Rockband4 my fiancee and I play it all the time. She sings lead and I play drums and sing back up harmony. We get 100%

I remember buying this CD within the first week of its release. Such a cool album. Especially the track Pigeons and Crumbs

I love this song so much! ❤️ This Natalie Imbruglia album it's beautiful!

Just found your channel! and I loved your reaction. I would love you guys to discover Anastacia, she is a MASSIVE star in Europe and Australia but was blacklisted from America! And her voice is AMAZING!

Ah... spirit of 90's...!

Definitely one of my early rockstar crushes plus amazing music

I had completely forgot how much the video plays up the whole "this is an act" angle. Thanks for the reminder.

Natalie was very camera shy so the video director told her to perform in front of the cameras as if they were rolling. Little did she know that she was being filmed and you can see that at the end of the video when she looked at the teleprompter. She was caught completely unaware. That is why this video is so good.

The sound of my highschool years. Couldn't go 5 minutes without hearing this song here in Australia.

Great reaction.. love Natalie.. she was married to Daniel the lead singer from another great Australian band “silverchair”

Oh yeah still in love with her lol a great artist!

Natalie actually got her first break as an actress on the Australian tv show called neighbors!

I can't speak for American Radio, but among the alternative/easy rock radio stations in Canada, this song was everywhere, and has since been everywhere till even now. It's just one of those timeless easy-listening songs from the 90s that please every pair of ears from 8 to 80 years old. Loving your taste in music Burch! I also wish I had a friend with a fresh pair of ears so receptive like Alexis that I could toss music to and get positive reactions from, haha. I enjoy both of your personalities, and can't wait to see more from this new subscription :) If I may throw another 90s era powerhouse into the suggestion box, I would love to hear y'alls thoughts on Sonic Youth! There's so many weird tracks from them, great music videos, and they have always stayed fringe despite feeling like they pioneered a form of punk style all their own for so long

Karaoke For The Deaf is a great version of this and the Secret Policeman's Ball version with her is even better.

So a decade or so ago, this song was the feature of a mime act that was done so well that there is one version where Natalie takes part in the mime act to make it that much better... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m8AggJ3_Xf0.html

I never realized this song was a cover. I'll have to look for the original

Pidgeons and crumbs is one of her best songs. Def worth checking out.

I remember staring at her eyes on her album cover and wondering if I had ever seen eyes that beautiful. I listened to the song so many times I burned myself out on it. A testament to how good it was.

Quintessential 90's song.

This song and video always kicks off a massive 90's nostalgia binge for me. And of course Natalie was one of the prototypes of the pixie cut 90s pop pixies. It was hard not to crush on her. And of course Fiona Apple, Gwen Steffani, and Hope Sandoval. For guys who were into that ladies with that look, it was a good decade.

Every teenage boy crushed on her with this song when it came out.

Watched for the content, subbed because Alexis and I both started as psych majors that instead got creative writing degrees 😅.

How 'bout some Jann Arden? "Insensitive" is a killer track from the 90's.

I've heard this song before, must have been played on the radio. Never knew the title or the artist. The song Torn I know most is by Creed.

"Smoke" is my fav

I believe for awhile, if not still, this was the most played song in the world

There were 3 versions before this and none were hits. I think Natalie made the song a hit. And they finally got the arrangement right.

Wow, this is so long ago now! Natalie Imbruglia did a few really excellent albums, all of them pretty much ignored after this one, which is a tragedy because they were awesome and her voice is excellent. Try “On the Run” which is so packed with emotion it rivals a Band-Maid live track! Who are Band-Maid? Well, rock and metal didn’t die, it just had a sex change and moved to Japan. Their last upload is “Endless Story” from a concert they did at Yokohama Arena - it’s a good starting point into an entirely new world of excellent music.

Edna Swap was a great band that was underrated

I you want to see Natalie Imbruglia in a funny movie I'd recommend "Johnny English (2003)" with Rowan Atkinson

Hi everybody.. I think Trine Rein, a norwegian girl,had a cover of this in the ninetys.But hey...this is a good video. Have a beautiful day, everyone of you musiclovers .😁

This was an all-too-brief little genre that began around 1995 with Alanis Morrissette and ended with this song about five years later: Female singers with a ‘70s-style singer-songwriter vibe. Others include Jewel, Natalie Merchant, Joan Osborne, Tracy Chapman, and Lisa Loeb. Relatively stripped-down sounds, sometimes just a guitar. Back to basics.

Another good tune by Natalie is the song "Shiver" (2005)

Natalie is still gorgeous

Now go listen to Ednaswap! Saw them in San Francisco at the Great American Music Hall back in "96 i beleive when they dished out a hard core Torn

definitely a song found on the show>>> Dawsons Creek

Dam Natalie was so georgious

You should listen to a song by another Australian singer - Missy Higgins - Scar.

1:32 I hate this thing they're doing in talking head videos lately. They have 2 cameras but the person only looks forward and they cut back and forth so half the time he's looking off camera.

What’s the darker version? Where do I hear that?

This somehow reminds me of the Suzanne Vega song 'Luka'

That woman looks like Selena Gomez!

Many people don't know that this version is actually a cover of a cover, lol. You should check out the original version by Ednaswap from 1993!

Her label always tried to market her as the next Kylie Minogue which she obviously wasnt

Natalie imbruglia pronounced imbrewlea. She's a great Australian artist.

I remember this song. i liked it, but was not on the top of my playlist.

Natalie was married to the lead singer from Silverchair, Daniel Johns.

Love this song. This is the only other song of hers that really grabs my attention - Wrong Impression. - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3Vt0d9YlTC4.htmlsi=lltTUR8RXspHQ8dP Playlist worthy for me. I have no idea if what was successful when it was released. Some songs are hits in one country or region, but not in others.

Now watch the original, far superior version by Ednaswap. (I'm guessing you saw Anne Preven on Howard Stern)

Please listen to BLACKPINK - Pink Venom

Org. By Lis Sørensen... called "brændt"

She made the Karen haircut look good

"What do you mean 'news people'?" is what she meant. We're old, dude.

Can I give you an alternate take on the lyrics? Listen to it again, but take the line "im all out of faith" as literal. The man she's singing about is god, and her relationship with the faith she used to have.

I wonder how many people realize this was a cover song? 🤔

lol my wife's voice sounds like a 10-12 year old child. We have 18 grandkids.

If I remember correctly, she was an elementary school teacher when she released this.

Ednaswaps' version is way better!

She's still stunning till now...

The one Pop CD I have among my Rock and Metal collection. This album is Freaking Golden. I seen a video of the song: SMOKE and absolutely Fell In Love 💕😍 PIGEON AND THE CRUMBS is cool and WISHING I WAS THERE, IMPRESSED and DON'T YOU THINK are Bangers!! Great Channel!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

I remember this being on MTV and VH1 several times a day for some while in the late-'90s or early-2000s, I don't remember exactly when it was released or was popular.

Agreed, that video is absolutely riveting. When this song came out, it was everywhere! Still♥it.

Good song 👍 I have a song suggestion!!! joey by concrete blonde❤

Gosh this song. I was in my early twenties when this came out and it was huuuge. Makes me feel old 🙂

I think she was dating David Schwimmer (of Friends fame) at the time Torn was released.

Taylor Swift😅

We all know why Natalie's version was a breakout hit and the previous versions weren't.... 1. it was produced WAY better, 2. Her vocals were more authentic and vulnerable and most importantly, 3. she was / is an ABSOLUTE smoke show.

#1 song of 1999

This song was huge on the lighter pop side. I always look at Jewel songs and like this song and why they work. I put the tinfoil hat on and say, soft voice, and 12345 1234 quick up down strumming, or similar(Am I Standing Still Jewel.) With the twang of the acoustic rolled off not fully, but smoother in the EQ some. Like anything I said just made sense to most 🙃, but yea. Plus just good songs

Dude. All the reactions i want to see from you are blocked. Damn.

Oh man you got to do oasis either wonderwall or champagne supernova those songs were everywhere for a minute in the ninties too

This is the second video of this channel I have seen. Another great song that I absolutely loved. I also love the concept of this, sharing that's which built us to the younger generation. But I will not subscribe. It all takes me back to a time and which I had hope and possibilities; looking forward to life. It brings up too much pain. I know how far I have fallen with no family to reach for. These videos serve as a stark reminder of how I've wasted and squandered this life. I carry enough pain and regret. Sadly, the light of such times when this music played just shows how dark this pit of a hollowed heart really is.

Nelly Furtado - "I'm Like A Bird" and Fiona Apple - "Criminal" are two of the other videos that came to mind when you talked about interesting eyes. Alexis, black and brown eyes are warm and friendly, just as good as blue or green.

She was married to Daniel johns, singer/guitarist from silverchair, if wanna check out another iconic Aussie band. They were branded as the next nirvana back in the day, but think was mainly coz he had the grunge look at the time

This song was written by and perfomed by the band Ednaswap from Iceland...

Great song. Australian punk band Hands Like Houses do another great cover of this

nice reaction guys... another great and unique song from that 90s time period is "fade into you" by mazzy star 😎

This also comes from the movie "Stigmata", with Patricia Arquette

Catchy song. On my playlist. I love the shorter of your videos that are just one song. The longer livestreams take a lot of time I don't have.

Your musical tastes are very similar to mine. I grew up in the 60 s and 70s. santa

If you like this, you should try Natalie's "Beauty on the Fire"

Lame

well she is Australian so.

In Norway we do not remember the Danish version from the original singer Lis Sørensen. We remember Norwegian singer Trine Rein version. Spooky enuff 🤗😎🇧🇻 Imbruglia we try to forget 😁

Good song, one of those that should still get air play.
