Hilarious reaction to Luther! I loved the "Dad killer" comment! 😀

2024-08-31 19:48:01 +0000 UTCI don’t know if it’s right or wrong but EVERY little 12yo girl in my middle knew every single song on Mary’s My Life album backwards and forwards. 😂 Very important album to many generations of women. Hope you react to it one day. Even if you don’t you should listen to the song My Life again bc you weren’t really listening to it if we’re being real.

2024-08-13 12:17:00 +0000 UTCLuther was not at all a “lady killer”, he was gay. Don’t get me wrong, women definitely used to lose their minds over him when he was on stage singing, but off stage nope.

2024-08-13 12:06:12 +0000 UTCEven as a small 4yo busybody child my mom could sit me in front of the stereo and put those big stereo headphones on me while she folded laundry or something else she needed to do and I would sit quietly listening to the best of Luther Vandross album without moving or trying to press buttons. The music was entertaining and relaxing enough that I didn’t need anything else. I didn’t know why but it just felt good. Luther was everything to me.

2024-08-13 11:48:33 +0000 UTCAbsolutely please do react to some Donny Hathaway! A Song For You or For All We Know or Someday We’ll All Be Free…

2024-08-13 11:34:06 +0000 UTCYou gotta hear more Anita Baker! You Bring Me Joy, Giving You The Best I Got, No On In The World, Sweet Love and sooo much more!

2024-06-17 03:28:57 +0000 UTCAmazing reaction. I truly enjoyed it. Great selections ❤️
Fatima
2024-04-20 05:51:29 +0000 UTCMary J was a sample not a cover. It would be interesting if you did a sample vs original episode.
Rene Afon
2024-04-19 00:43:55 +0000 UTCIf you have not heard Luther Vandross "A House Is Not A Home" you definitely need to. It is the song that most of those rappers sample from. Luther Vandross had it rough, he was a closeted gay man which he hid for his entire life. It was only after his death that his friends revealed his sexuality. I think he was a very lonely man.
Rene Afon
2024-04-19 00:27:14 +0000 UTCI was today years old when I found out that the carpenters did Superstar first. 😳 And Luther Vandross is cherished in the AA community. WE LOVE HIM. He is like the male versiob of Whitney Houston. No one has a voice like Luther.
Carla Davis
2024-04-12 18:38:25 +0000 UTCGotta do the Lauryn Hill cover!

2024-04-10 09:38:55 +0000 UTCProdigy Nas The Alchemist - Tick Tock. Its one of my favorite songs of all time, kinda underground song i feel and I feel like u guys would love it because of how different Prodigy and Nas sounds on it on a very good beat from Al chemist

Jen M
2024-04-07 20:47:33 +0000 UTCFairytales is thee one!! Love that song.
Elizabeth Kelly
2024-04-07 18:58:14 +0000 UTCThe next theme one should be songs that have been sampled a lot. You can see if you can guess what songs sampled it. One of my favorite Debarge song is stay with me and it been sampled a good amount of times Request songs : Gimme all your love- Alabama Shakes Giveon- stuck on you Sebastian Mikael- Time
WaterLord Jaz
2024-04-07 16:43:14 +0000 UTCOk I freaking ❤️ this entire ride!!! 1st) Anita Baker is a MUST to revisit! My fave is the slightly less popular 'Fairytales' but u can pick ANYTHING lol! 2) Luther was the babymaking voice! Its (probly) a scientific fact the birthrate went up 8-9 months after Luther came to town! 😂 A House Is Not a Home is the song Kai was referring to that Kanye sampled and my fave Luther song! Dad keep ur tissues handy for that one! 3) Always knew Roy Ayers bcuz my Dad was a HUGE record collector but My Life was my 1st theme song ever!! Hoping to see Mary J for Mother's Day this year! 🙏🏽
Felicia Wiggins
2024-04-07 08:03:34 +0000 UTCWonderful people’s choice this week guys…..More Luther Vandross!… he has such an incredible voice, and such an in depth catalog too…luv the covers done this week…

Dee
2024-04-07 00:18:08 +0000 UTCI would to recommend Just Breathe - Pearl Jam

Precious
2024-04-06 18:32:38 +0000 UTCI was in complete awe of her performance with Snarky Puppy 🤯
Precious
2024-04-06 18:29:57 +0000 UTCGreat suggestion! The entire “Maxwell MTV Unplugged” is a must watch/listen.
Precious
2024-04-06 18:26:56 +0000 UTCI loved you guys reaction to Luther. Well the whole section of Aretha, The Carpenters and him. The longing, the love. Ugh. Luther really was one of the greats. And he has many covers. Especially to Dionne Warwick songs
Storm
2024-04-06 18:03:07 +0000 UTCMy fav ppl choice yet ny only suggestion is a part 2 of covers cause I didn't want it to end. Great job fellas💯💖 SN: gotta love how beautiful Aretha sang about stalking a ex😂😂😂 #IYKYK
Sheivon Jackson
2024-04-06 16:48:40 +0000 UTCExactly! That’s Luther’s song!! 🤣
Jen M
2024-04-06 15:40:03 +0000 UTCSuggestion: Snoh Aalegra - “Whoa” or “I Want You Around”
Adrienne
2024-04-06 14:48:45 +0000 UTCGreat pics this week guys.. Kai I have a suggestion for your camera problem. You can put a mirror behind the camera so you can see it from where you're sitting and don't have to keep getting up to check it. Our suggestions for next week are... Snoop Dogg and John Legend- I Can Change (2004) Ice T- Colors (1988)
Richard
2024-04-06 13:42:35 +0000 UTCI think you guys should react to The Jackson 5 “All I Do Is Think of You” and Troop cover of the song. BTW, loved this episode!
Robin
2024-04-06 13:40:12 +0000 UTCKai, I can definitely see you as the professor of any university teaching students how to properly breakdown music "instrumentally & emotionally (the feeling it gives you)". BRAVO MY FRIEND!👏🏾
KAZBAAH
2024-04-06 13:21:51 +0000 UTCDEFINITELY REACT TO THE KATE BUSH & MAXWELL COVERS OF "THIS WOMAN'S WORK"! Side Note: When you cover Maxwell's version, make sure you check out "MTV Unplugged" video version of it. 👏🏾👏🏾You will thank me later.☺
KAZBAAH
2024-04-06 13:05:29 +0000 UTCI didn’t know until recently how many songs of Luther’s are covers. But once he does, it is his.
Storm
2024-04-06 13:02:51 +0000 UTCDo killing me softly Roberta flack covered by Luther vandross/ Steve wonder lately covered by jodeci
Jr Rick
2024-04-06 04:10:14 +0000 UTCI’d like to suggest the cover of Crazy Love by Brian McKnight original by Van Morrison.
Joylynn06
2024-04-06 03:44:06 +0000 UTCLoved this idea! If y’all do covers again, I recommend “Who Can I Run to by The Jones Girls covered by Xscape and Human Nature by Michael Jackson covered by SWV 🔥
E M
2024-04-06 03:23:52 +0000 UTCI think they would really love Maxwell.
Joylynn06
2024-04-06 02:53:43 +0000 UTCLuther x Superstar and Mary J Blige “My Life” are two of my favorite songs ever.
BigHomieAnt
2024-04-06 02:10:49 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite Lalah Hathaway songs is When Your Life Was Low with Joe Sample and Something with Snarky Puppy.
Joylynn06
2024-04-06 01:54:52 +0000 UTCFun story there is a clip of Michael Jackson meeting Princess Diana and Prince Charles before he performs and Princess Diana whispers to Michael to ask him if he is going to play Dirty Diana and he said no he removed it from the set out of respect for her and she told him that was her favorite song.
Chanelle O
2024-04-06 01:52:41 +0000 UTCTamia covered that song on her Between Friends album in 2006
Loreena
2024-04-06 01:38:57 +0000 UTCMore Luther Vandross please! I’m recommending his live performance of A House Is Not A Home at the 1988 NAACP Image awards.
Dee
2024-04-05 23:33:15 +0000 UTCBest episode yet!!! ♥️
Dee
2024-04-05 22:29:41 +0000 UTCAmazing song feels transcending
Gemintheye
2024-04-05 22:20:37 +0000 UTCI wouldn't even worry about reacting to it for the channel, just sit back and spend a day listening to Luther. He will have you in love, excited, dancing and shedding a tear
jeff baker
2024-04-05 22:14:06 +0000 UTCLove Jazz Liberatorz!
Precious
2024-04-05 22:09:29 +0000 UTCDare I say, my favorite people's choice yet.
jeff baker
2024-04-05 22:02:48 +0000 UTCThere’s one live performance at the Apollo theater Lalah Hathaway sings of her dad’s “a song for you” that literally brought me to tears. She’s i ridiculously underrated
Jordan Richardson
2024-04-05 20:48:01 +0000 UTCThis was 🔥🔥🔥
Zina
2024-04-05 20:31:50 +0000 UTCI ❤️ Luther his concerts were mind blowing. When ever he came to my city I was there.

Jen M
2024-04-05 19:45:32 +0000 UTCMine too!!
Jen M
2024-04-05 19:44:33 +0000 UTCGuys, I really enjoyed this one! It was superb. I’d love to see you do, This Woman’s Work; both versions. Btw, the R&B singer, Tank, has his own version called: Can’t Let It Show. Also, shout out to the person that recommended the Luther cover. That was actually my favorite part of this video!! 👏🏾
Jen M
2024-04-05 19:44:17 +0000 UTCWell, thank you for choosing my suggestion!! ❤️❤️❤️Roy Ayers wins for the originality, but MJB wins for the vocals and lyrics. The message of her song is about feeling sad and depressed, but also encouraging the listener to have faith, work through it, and don’t give up. So that along with the positivity and beauty of the Ayers palette (if you will) imo makes it such a complete and touching song. By the way, autocorrect put that darn apostrophe in there, so I’m sorry about that. 🤣
Jen M
2024-04-05 19:40:30 +0000 UTCThis is probably my most favorite People's Choice to date! Definitely do a Maxwell reaction song. He is incredible!
Kenysha
2024-04-05 19:24:08 +0000 UTCIf forced, I’d have to give it to Michael, in part because he wrote it and performed it first. That has to be given some weight in a an original/cover battle!
The FrontRoom
2024-04-05 18:48:43 +0000 UTCWheewwww!!!!! This episode was SO good! This definitely made my day. 🥰
Adrienne
2024-04-05 18:41:38 +0000 UTCOk, I haven’t finished watching yet, but when I heard the Carpenters song, I was shocked thinking, who did Luther’s song like that!! 🤣 All I’ve ever know was Luther’s version! I grew up on Luther’s music. ❤️ Good to hear the original version tho.
Jen M
2024-04-05 18:32:34 +0000 UTCCorrection: dad said he couldn’t decide, but he sounded like MJs was better 🤣
Jen M
2024-04-05 18:30:54 +0000 UTCOoohhhhhh this is awesome!! I'll have to come back. The Patreon app is buggin and won't play the video.
Hodge House
2024-04-05 18:29:19 +0000 UTCMy suggestion is Fall in Love by Phantogram
Ruben Reyes
2024-04-05 18:21:18 +0000 UTC80s theme would be good!
Precious
2024-04-05 18:08:57 +0000 UTCI'll suggest slim village- Climax again Jazz liberatorz- Mountain Sunlight ft Mos Def Zo- Talkin To Myself Ft BeMyFiasco maybe you guys can do a boom bap theme

Jen M
2024-04-05 18:04:32 +0000 UTCYes! Daydreaming is one of my favorite songs.
Precious
2024-04-05 18:03:58 +0000 UTCAlso.. Yes!! To the Maxwell’s This Woman’s Work. I suggested it in the past but his entire Urban Hang Suite album is a must listen.
Precious
2024-04-05 18:01:36 +0000 UTCI love how much yall love Luther. My heart is about to burst. Thanks. Yall made my day.
ProRenae
2024-04-05 17:57:46 +0000 UTCThis was so good! Luther was the king of covers! At work now, but I'm gonna think of some suggestions and come back.
Kat
2024-04-05 17:55:24 +0000 UTCThank you again for choosing my theme suggestion. Everyones suggestions were great! 1. Anita is one of my favorite artist and what you would call the favorite artist of your favorite artist..check out Body & Soul, Rapture, You Bring Me Joy 2.Lala Hathaway is a vocal beast. Check out her performance with Snarky Puppy. 3. Luther’s voice and delivery is top notch! You have to check out his concert/live versions 4. Enjoyed the Fleetwood Mac song dad suggested but LOVED Santana’s cover a tad more. 5. I’m a huge Kayne fan but definitely agree with your girlfriend Kai, Daniel has the better version lol
Precious
2024-04-05 17:50:44 +0000 UTCneed more anita baker reactions, you bing me joy is a great one to check out

Jr Rick
2024-04-05 17:25:10 +0000 UTCListen to Daydreaming by Aretha. That songs sends me on clouds. And it's been sampled sooo many times.
ProRenae
2024-04-05 17:22:01 +0000 UTCI would love to watch yall react to the Thiller album. It still holds up all these years later.
ProRenae
2024-04-05 17:07:40 +0000 UTCThe Weeknd's version of Dirty Diana doesn't sound as passionate or aggressive as MJ. I love Anita Baker & Lalah's versions of Angel tho 🤌🏾 Luther Vandross was in touch with his feminine side and although he never was 'out', the community knew he was queer...
AuntyPhylie
2024-04-05 16:40:42 +0000 UTCI would also like so suggest a 80’s themed peoples choice because Kai’s dad said he wanted to hear more early rap and I got some good freestyle suggestions like Lisa Lisa and Jet
Anthony Mendoza
2024-04-05 16:32:45 +0000 UTCHoly smokes seeing these suggestions make me want to see another cover themed peoples choice because I was only trying to think of rap but now I have some amazing songs to suggest
