Macy makes life better. Her voice just relaxes you, and takes you on a trip to Macy Land. It’s hard to be stressed, depressed, mean, mad, or sad when you’re in Macy Land.
She’s singing about missing her love interest. You should hear talking voice. It sounds like a baby voice. She was so unique as an artist but disappeared after a few years of singing and acting.
Not sure what her voice has to do with her ethnicity. It does grow on you though. That whole album was great. I still have the CD. I remember when she first released this......it to k a couple listen to adjust to her voice but then it just clicked. The whole vibe of the song was smooth and kinda jazzy for me.
Heidi that's who, Yes! Everything you said, exactly. I still have this CD, I thought the same thing when I first heard it and then the lyrics made a connection with me, I got the same sense of jazz but her voice added a bit of funk. Fell in love with this song.
Macy Gray is brilliant with a beautiful voice. This single was a huge hit, as well as the album, I also think she won awards at the Grammy. The raspy voice is her signature, and it's been compared to Billie Holiday's voice. I also think Amy Winehouse sounded a bit like Macy.
Macy was a song writer first. She stood in for a lead singer once and they loved it. The uniqueness of her voice that you don't like is what made everyone else love her...including me. I have everything she ever put out.
You’re out of your mind! Macy Gray is amazing! I bet everything about her voice that you “couldn’t get into,” are the things that make her so great ...Also, race and ethnicity have ZERO to do with her sounding like way she does. 🙄🤦🏾♀️
@@sevenfallstrail4458 ... did I hurt your little feels bud? lol. Rock/Metal Legends - the Beatles, Black Sabbath, Rush, Kiss, AC/DC. R & B Legends Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder. Rap/Hip-hop Legends 2Pac, Biggy etc. I could go on for alot longer. 2 decent albums and a 10 year career doesn't make legend status. When your music stands the test of time after decades That's legend status. I forgot about Macy Gray until Twon did this reaction. 😂✌
@@dwaynebillings2103 Hurt my feelings ? How do you making a fool of yourself going to hurt my feelings ? I think you've been staring at your winger poster too long . I was touched about your song about being bullied and then how you thought you were cool in high school that was special
Man when this song came out I Loved it and still do. Macy is genius. I Love her voice, as I recall she talks like she sings. I bet you will like it after a few more listens.. If not it’s all good.. 🤙🏽
I think it's called "vocal fry" that gravelly sound many singers (and non-singers) develop for various reasons... sometimes it comes naturally, like Chris Cornell, Layne Staley to name a couple... regardless, to each his own my friend... no one ever knows what they're gonna like or not like, or why... doesn't matter what others opinions are, you be you.
I really didn’t like this when I first heard it. A few weeks later and I loved it and went and purchased the single ... takes a few listens but it’s a grower
I respect your honesty ,I don't think too many reactors are as honest as you because they are afraid to offend people or lose subscribers ,Your first reaction to this was" uuh uhh ,No doesn't do it for me" and that's Ok, That's why we have so many different kinds of music and we don't have to like them just because someone else does, continue to be honest it's always better, Remember this you can't please everyone without compromising yourself so be true to you
I LOVE her voice. ❤ To me it is soothing. I totally get that people prefer different things though. My daughter loves songs that I just don’t understand, lol
It's ok if you don't like her voice too much, she doesn't either really 😆 but I absolutely love it. It's like salted caramel, sultry and sweet. It has a texture that separates her from all of others.
and, her role in the movie 'Training Day' you can see a diff side of her . . . Her song "When Im Gone" "Beauty in the World" "Do Something" all showcase her jazzy souly voice w/ a hint of hip hop in a maybe , better way ? . . . . well, i did try, and glad the Erykah Badu at least hit home . . . . . And, when in doubt, just listen to some Alicia Keys . prefer early stuff ! She is ahhhmazzing ! Well I appreciate your honest reaction !! Peace bruddah
She acts also remember the scene in TRAINING DAY when Denzel Washington broke in her house and stole her money and the gang shot at his car as he took off yes she talk like that here👉🏽 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MKnFT4aTNP0.html
The majority of young people today have absolutely no depth and y’all acting like you are surprised that he can’t get into this song. Here’s the hilarious part: these mofos use today’s technology to get that same cartoony effect on their voices. Just listen to dude’s intro. 😂🤣. Let the man have his say and just laugh at the irony. Some of y’all tripping cause he said something ignorant about ethnicity. Y’all know you don’t come here for some intelligent analysis. If you wanted that you’d be checking out Jack Reacts or Sincerely KSO or something. Most of y’all only hit that subscribe button cause he reacted to a song you like and thought y’all share some commonality for liking the same music. Music is universal. Just cause someone like a song you like don’t mean they are like you. This man is entitled to his lack of depth and ignorance. Let him live, folks.
Voice of her own for sure. Just naturally a scratchy sound voice. Different songs vary. Try more. Always always remember not to judge a artist on one video one song. B4 you judge if you like her sound listen to more. We know youl get her an like her. Or we'd not asked you check her out. Or Any1 else💖💖💖
@@NLTwon That's cool!! For a generation that's about the music! You listen to very small portions of hip hop!! And don't understand hip hop is a lot bigger then this generation of Megan, and Cardi, Nikki minaj!!😔😔😔
Good reaction....but....video killed the radio star, as the song goes. Music videos are too visually distracting to put full attention on the music. Try listening to this song with no video, it's a different experience.
