We TRIED To Listen To Bridge Over Troubled Water By Jacob Collier 

Check out all reactions 😊 : Jacob Collier : ru-vid.com/group/PLBxxPN1NmvZrPFmT8DPLs4db2MeQ1yE0c Tori Kelly : ru-vid.com/group/PLBxxPN1NmvZrwi3er0NTEB-ae7kVvm-hq Reactions with Friends : ru-vid.com/group/PLBxxPN1NmvZrL4y_nVkeESbqQdDBXn3Zu New Channel: www.youtube.com/@QoFysLounge

I am 73 years old and I just played this for my 95 year old father. . He just sat and smiled and cried and cried and cried. . . and then he smiled some more. .

"This is a mess. It's his mess, and I like it. I wish it was my mess." 😂

“Jacob playing chess with two Queens”💯🤯💥

He took the scenic route to A flat lol!

"I mean geni-what's a better word than genius? ...He's evil!" 😂😂 I hope he sees this. Your reactions are priceless.

Here in Brazil, only the strong can handle hearing the weight of this masterpiece!!!!

You should check out Jacob’s LOGIC SESSION BREAKDOWN video for this track. He gives amazing insights into the making of it and his thinking around music in general. It only took him 3 days!

Generations upon generations will be studying jacob collier in music class. We are seeing this “genius” unfold right before our eyes, it really is insane. What a legend.

I swear tori kelly's riff is addictive. It plays in my head as I do EVERYTHING

I wouldn't want to live in a world without music.

Lol he is a choir... thats exactly what my dad said when i showed him he was like wow that choir is amazing

I love how this track has the whole internet in a chokehold 😳🔥🔥 it’s another level. Gonna go down in the history books

Jacob picked every note existent in the universe and managed to knit this beautiful collage of a song. What a beast of a genius. I cannot stop listening to this song either.

Jacob _Choirllier_ indeed! 😂

It’s an E major chord underneath when John starts singing. And then gets to a C major chord for Tori’s entrance. Both are quite “sunny day” chords, but the way he gets to each is such a mental and emotional journey for the ears and heart. Jacob is a modulation master!

I’ve been listening to this song on repeat and trying to find good reaction videos because I need other people to understand how amazing this is, and you both DELIVERED. This was the reaction video I needed because my reaction was the exact same. “He’s evil” LOL yes and godly at the same time hahaha

It just makes me so happy to see someone as excited and amazed at Jacob's music as I am. Not everyone gets it but the people that do just lose their minds like me when I hear this and other songs like this from Jacob.

I think the chess analogy is spot on! The strategic way Jacob thinks is extraordinary; the journey his chord progressions take is like a master chess player who thinks 20 moves ahead.

Just as J Dilla changed my life, Jacob Collier has once again given me a reason to believe in the power of great musical intelligence, soulful arrangement and vocal possibilities that sometimes bring a tear or two ,,,Bravo again young man and to your cohorts...Y'all sang your asses OFF!!!

Tori Kelly came in like the good witch of the East with those amazing chords

Jacob is the Mozart of our time. A Classical Composer who uses human voice, including his own, as an instrument.

Hysterical watching this… Totally transcendent music and totally impossible to put into words! You guys gave it hell… thanks for spreading this exquisitely harmonious gospel!

This is probably the funniest and best reaction i've seen. Keep it going ♥

“I need rehab” ❤😂😅

A mad sonic scientist.

John Legend made me want to run around and get a praise and worship session it!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾😮‍💨

Just think of it. This is a just a slim leak over from heaven. Of what heaven sounds like right now only with endless legions of angels and the ancestors with perfect pitch singing praised to God all day, every day. This is just a small glimpse of what heaven is like.

I can’t stop watching reaction videos to this song but this one might be my favorite so far. New subscriber here! Thanks for sharing your unfiltered reactions, even when they’re “what just happened? I don’t know” and then silence while you both just shake your head. SO real.

Jacob’s a Musical Alchemist of the highest order! He may be a “Sound Saint”.

The chess joke was actually great. Jacob is really playing 'music chess' and he's so masterfull that suddenly he puts two queens on the board and you dont even complain because the plays he makes are absurdly fantastic!

Love the reactions. Music is universal. Jacob's music is infinite.

Take Six, Manhattan Transfer, Bobby McFerrin influnces ? Mulitrack programming techniques, altered dominant chordal voicings, modal shifts, triad pairings with an ability to sing those changes, and great vocal collabs to an iconic song. All explainable...Maximalist, as he calls it. Rather Impressive JC can do it all.

Watching the both of you ... this was too much fun!! Thanks! Your yesterday's solo flight to oblivion was also quite entertaining!!! Thanks for that too .....🤣😂 I had to edit this: I posted my comment way too soon ... I am still laughing my butt off. You guys were hilarious and ...... credible!!!

Literally every musician listening to this track has this exact reaction. I dare you to listen to the track without pausing. Good luck. I lie in bed at night and try and figure out his key changes.

So glad you watched it together, great reaction 🔥

Jacob « Choirlier »,I want that on a t shirt!!!

Exactly my expressions while listening for the 45th time 😅

Also, Jacob came along when the technology was here that he can use to create/transfer this thoughts from his mind to the recording. Likely if Stevie Wonder had this technology (final cut, etc...) he would have done great things with it as well.

Love this reaction! I get so excited every time I listen to this song every time and you guys really embody that feeling.

Great reaction guys! I get through the song without stopping - but only crying the whole time. It's a transformative, healing experience for me.

First video I've seen of yours. You guys crack me up. I loved your approach to this. Keep up the good work. I'm a sub now!

Of all the reactions to this piece - you too are most resonant with the blow my heart wide open majestic mystery marvelousness I feel in my body and psyche when this music touches me! And the live version - I can't stop listening!!!! Thank you.

Jacob Collier brought in the most exquisite layering of sound and you say no to this?!!!? Exquisite sensory joy I say!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if you guys know that Jacob has met both Quincy jones and herbie Hancock. And they were both incredibly impressed and often ask him how he is able to do the things he does.

Love these reactions. I feel you, brothers! Exactly how I reacted.

Normally, it’s only in Christmas music that you hear such a gloriously harmonious mix of notes with that big fat fuzzy warm feeling that massages your whole being into absolute bliss, but now Jacob Collier waltzes onto the sound stage and introduces that special rich sound into regular music that we listen to the rest of the year and suddenly, we can now experience that warmth year ‘round! I have been craving that satisfying sound for the last 50 years of my life and now I can finally hear this anytime I feel the urge, the need to destress with sweet delicious harmonies that I could only dream of before because I had to wait for Christmas to hear it. Jacob Collier is a musical savant, a harmonic genius of the highest calibre, at he’s not even 30 years old yett! I’m really looking forward to and anticipating a lot more masterfully crafted harmonies in the next several decades because there gas been a dearth, a famine of this kind of sound for as long as I can remember…….RELIEF AT LAST❗️This is just sooooo SWEET……. ❤️🙏🥲

This is epic..! I’ll be rewatching this multiple times ☺️. This will either inspire you..or make you throw your hands up in surrender…😎☺️❤️‼️

organized chaos, love that characterizion.. Also absolutely floored by johns verse.

I absolutely loved your reactions!! There’s nothing like being inspired by another musician AS a musician. Pure joy 🩷🙌🏻

You guys are awesome, and HILARIOUS! So enjoyable to watch and listen to. Keep up the great work!!

When Tori came in like the daughter of the King she is!!! 💜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love your energy gents. "Playing chess with two queens...and a thousand pawns...also, what is chess??" EXACTLY. New subscriber here, and thank you!

11:29 Tori sounds SOOOO loving as she sings. What a gift. The world needs more of this. 11:58 The line she sings was given to her by Jacob. 12:48 & 16:00 is an incredible line. Again, JC created, Tori sung. 16:00 to the end is SOOOO powerful. The line at 16:13 is masterful 16:30 throw down dramatic 16:37 is so over the top it circles back (using 13 chords) around (by 16:44) and seems to end but no, then at 16:49 it goes even further. Maybe “more is less” in most contexts but with Jacob, many times, more with more + more + more is…mind-blowing my anything but less.

Excellent responses. I saw your other video with you obviously being flabbergasted by Jacob. ❤❤❤ I've also been listening again and again and again. But today, I began to explore other videos of responses and soooo many have been brought to tears. I can't wait to hear the Tori Kelly copy challenges by men in particular. I really enjoyed the lowest part of her run.

Best reaction boys.. loved it

12:33 that unison line gets me every time!!! Everything after that unison line is EVIL for sure!! 😂🙏😩

Best reaction so far man, you can really tell you two were just enjoying this masterpiece, sometimes prejudices can affect our apretiation of weird music, im glad that you seem to have 0 prejudices man, great vibes.

To quote Griffen McElroy, "jacob is laying down incredible harmony and Tory is in the back doing kick flips"

He is using chamber music style in his choral choir!

17:19 this silence spoke VOLUMES. Speechless.

i listened to this song the other day with my dad and we couldn’t believe what we were hearing!! we paused like a hundred times during the song… thank you for your reaction

Thanks you guys. I don't know which I'm enjoying more, Jacob's amazing arrangement of Bridge over Troubled Water or watching/listening to musicians like you listen and react to it. It's very fun to have your perspective on all the things there are to appreciate in this recording, all the pawns, the 2 queens, etc. 🤩

You guys rock.....great reactions!!!

Jacob Collier gets to A flat on the strength of his raw style. That boy commits harmonic parkour to get where he's going!

I've listened to this song so many times but I'm still here jumping and getting excited along with yall. You guys are so fun hahaha

"okay so.. Binoculars cuz I'm fk far away from A flat rn" 😭😭😭😂😂

Guys, I love you! I have laughed so much, I gotto go outside now. This song is marvelous, but to hear it together with your comments that was even more awesome. Thank you. You made my day. And thank you Jacob.

Hey guys, you asked what key he modulated to when transitioning from Abbey to John Legend. He brilliantly went from A flat MAJ to E flat MAJ. Jacob started the bar before on the A flat/2nd inversion and ended that frame on what ended up being B flat (dominant chord in new key). Perfectly done!

Great reaction! Made me laugh so hard. If there is a God. And if he, she or it has a sound … this is as close as we get.

This was THE best reaction!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Love this reaction bro! You said " You can't play by his rules" In Jacobs music world, there are no rules. His level of imagination and his risk taking is beyond any of our comprehension. I'm just truly blessed to live in this world where we can listen to his music and his creations everyday.

Goosebumps over goosebumps , that here is a masterpiece 😭😭✨

"Fun Fact": Jacob did sang the part he wanted HER to sing himself... flawlessly!!! He filmed the recording with her being in the same room (here on YT). And she sang the parts and he stiched them together in post... WHAT??? He is doing ALL the work + the videos himself. Not human at all, he´s given the human appearance just to make all of the universal powers and possibilities bearable for us mere humans, right?

Love your reactions, beautiful recognizes beautiful

Yebba in the beginning of the song!!!! has some of the most insane vocals alongside the rest of these artists. Jacob mashed up Yebba’s run on my mind at the end of her high note and it gives me chills every time.

That ending where you're so tied in and following every single note and then it goes silent brings tears flooding it is BEYOND this world! I loved watching with you guys! This is what life is about 💚

Watching you guys listen to this made this experience even more amazing. Thanks for sharing your joy and incredulity with us!

Who needs drugs to get high..?! Just listen to Jacob’s harmonic calisthenics and you get so high that you end up in the stratosphere bawling like a baby! ❤️🙏🤓😆

You guys are pure joy!

Wait till they realize he made this in 3 days😂

If it was just his harmonies, he'd still be an all-time legend, but there's so much more. Did he learn music in the womb?

First time seeing you guys commenting in a song, but I love your reactions ! You guys really love music

This might be my favorite reaction video to this song

This was amazing thank you so much for reacting to this masterpiece of Jacob Collier. 2 Kings + Queens 😂❤❤❤

A Heavenly Experience! To Those Who Dislike This Style of Music Are Like Basketball Players Who Can't Dunk or Like Quarterbacks who Can't Throw Touch Down Passes. Plain & Simple! This Song is Truly Amazing & A Work of Musicial Art. Shout Out to @JacobCollier for This Exorcism. Keep Making Demons Uncomfortable 🎵 😇

Absolutely mesmerizing how Jacob's harmony flows like a waterfall, perfectly in sync with John Legend's "troubled water" line. It's like you can almost see the turbulent waters of a river rushing by with every note. Pure magic!

Funny thing is he did get a shout out from Quincy Jones in 2013 who then signed him with his management company in 2014.

Gave that shit a standing ovation 😂💀💀

Haha I laughed so loud about your reactions❤ too sweet🙏🏼

Yep. That’s the best way to say it…it’s Jacob. 😊

I could listen through the first time but after the ending I had to shout to get the craziness out of my blood, I was covered in goosebumps!

Every time these two wonderful beings look at each other I am happy!

love this reaction. so much fun. subbed

I laughed, I cried. They give voice to my reaction.

You guys are amazing; you feel it the way I do… please react to more of Djesse Vol 4 that came out! Box of Stars (pt 1 and 2); World O World; 100,000 Voices; Summer Rain; everything!

Amazing to watch you guys sharing the same level of excitement. This is Grammy quilates.

Watching this gave me an Acid Trip Flashback from the 1970s in the most delightful way ✌️

16:14 will be the best reaction for me! You represent everyone haha! Thank you for the reaction video!!
