Gen Z Opera Singer Reacts To Chicago - Its Hard To Say Im Sorry

[@R.BB_yvr]

AHHH....tugging at the heart strings girl.....Chicago's song , You're The Inspiration from Chicago 17 album was My wedding waltz in 1985....lol...nothing lasts forever except Chicago songs. Peter Cetara's voice is so unique, you'll recongnize it everytime....they had an amazing brass section as well. Bolor My World was My favorite.

[@NBLP7001]

One of the first guitar solos I ever learned. I was in a friend's dorm room checking out his new guitar. He was a big Chicago fan. This song was playing, and when it got to the solo, i just jumped right in. My friend started in on me, "Wait a minute. How do you know that solo? You always give me crap about listening to Chicago." At the time I was a huge metal fan so he let me hear it about knowing how to play a Chicago song.

[@anitawright7169]

Chicago are icons. They are so very good. Love this song so much. They have many, many more. Love your reaction!

[@chuckwhite3176]

Always loved when the radio would play this song and then let it run into the sequel song "Get Away". Great combination.

[@vickyrobertson3166]

I have always loved Chicago. Peter's voice is so amazing.

[@MT-us4ww]

Seen these guys when I was 14 years old. Believe it was the Summer of 1983. Great concert

Chicago is one of the top 5 greatest bands in rock history. Extraordinary in every way. Thank you for sharing. 🎉

Jazz/rock

[@DeAnne1233]

Love it when talent recognizes talent. New subscriber. 🫶

[@The_Dudester]

This song has an attached song-Get Away, that goes very upbeat. In the summer of 1982, there was a popular movie "Sommer Lovers" where "Its Hard To Say I'm Sorry/Get Away" is played at the end of the movie and what then happens at the end of the movie exemplifies the song to a T. BTW, the movie has an incredible soundtrack, banger after banger after banger.

[@julianhinojosa9695]

Love this song. Along with "You're The Inspiration," my two favorite Chicago songs. Love the flow of the song and Peter's voice. Great pick and as always, great reaction.

[@Shannon-000]

I mentioned this in an earlier comment, but how pleasing it is to hear you, being seasoned and versed in sound and tone to really discuss Chicago's musicianship, namely the bands soprano, alto, tenor, and bass collected harmoniously. Thank you for reviewing this in a refreshing way to your audience.

[@NBLP7001]

Men are not sopranos nor altos. Those are women voice types. Men are tenor (with the rare countertenor , like Steve Perry) baritone and bass.

[@Shannon-000]

@NBLP7001 I mostly agree with you on the tenor tone and men. I was clarifying that there are some, though only a few, that belt out that soprano style tone, even in being a man. The melting pot of it all is quite inviting.

[@NBLP7001]

​@@Shannon-000 Steve Perry is one of those rare countertenors that can hit soprano notes.

[@Shannon-000]

@@NBLP7001 Yes, I agree with you. He would be likened as a male mezzosopranists. They are few, yet they are still out there.

[@floridaoutdoordiscoveries8301]

Iconic love/relationship song when I was in high school in the eighties

[@PickettMusic]

Peter actually partially developed that style from having his jaw broken in a fight at a baseball game. He got hit and had to go on tour with his jaw wired shut. So he developed a style where he used his mask more than he might have if he'd never had to sing with his jaw mostly immobilized. :)

[@paulf4802]

I love all of your honest and clean reactions to the music I grew up with long ago. It makes me happy to see and hear someone young appreciate the songs that I always loved. If you have a chance, you should check out some videos of the The Eagles, namely some of their live performances from 1977. Talk about musicians singing, and harmonizing. You will be amazed. Thanks!

[@DeAnne1233]

I think you’ll like the ‘horns’ section in their song: 25 Or 6 To 4 There is a lot of orchestral textures in Chicago’s music that you might enjoy listening to.

[@mickeyhank]

I think you gave a great analysis Aaliyah. I love this song -- it has such a beautiful melody, and it's sung so passionately. I feel like you felt these same things. Which to me speaks to you having very good taste. Thanks Aaliyah!

[@jorgechavesfilho]

Yeah, Aaliyah, there is no one more graceful, elegant, classy and enlightened than a classical soprano.

[@mazlanbasharudin3764]

Thanks for the reaction. This is such a wonderful song. Keep reacting!

[@erinhansen2110]

Great reaction! Love your channel as it's so pure and natural. So many great Chicago songs, but Peter had a good solo career with a bunch of amazing duets with the likes of Cher, Amy Grant, Chaka Khan. I'd recommend "Glory Of Love" which was the theme song to Karate Kid II next. You'll love it!!! Keep up the great work! :)

[@viclemmy3119]

Hagane - "start our journey" that is what you want to see and hear, it's unbelievable. trust me.

Peter Cetera has one of the most iconic voices ever. He's legendary.

I think another underrated and impressive voice I think you'd like is Raul Malo, the lead singer of The Mavericks. They're a pop/country band with a huge Latin flare...lots of upbeat horns and piano. I'd love to see a reaction to their ballad "I Should Have Been True" or one of their more upbeat songs like "Dance The Night Away" or "Here Comes My Baby"

[@unklebacon44]

This brings me back...wow. Just barely teens, young love.

[@billywix7313]

Hello Aaliyah, I can’t believe you haven’t reacted to the Eagles Hotel California. The Eagles are all singers and musicians. They are my favorite band for harmony’s.

good reaction peter cetera is a great tenor vocalist !

[@williamreiser3118]

Speaking of my favorite little cutie your reaction to one of my older bands that I like to watch Chicago they were one that can buy jazz rhythm blues and rock all in one package and Peter cetera of Chicago's got a great voice

[@Trepanist]

This song says, welcome to the 80's!

[@stefanobracco3836]

Adoro questa canzone!❤️ Complimenti Aaliyah, sei bravissima e bellissima!😍💞

God I love this song

[@richardpeete5017]

I love the fact that you are opening your horizons to all kinds of music. I'm going to submit that you check out Pink Floyd. Especially everything from the live Pulse concert tour. Your not going to be ready for this.

[@Hermit-63]

Always lovely to see your happy smile gwapa talaga! 😊

[@cliftonparago4547]

Peter Cetera doesn't open his mouth when he sings because just before he recorded their first album he was in a bar fight and broke his jaw. His mouth was wired shut. Now he sings through his teeth

[@Rock_Snob]

Not a bar fight… it was in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium.

[@ClaudioFendrik-l8l]

Me encantan tus reacciones y eres muy bonita 😍😍

[@silverfire01]

yeah i like peter ceteras voice is unique.I liked his other chicago songs and glory of love from one of the karate kid movies.

Thanks so much💕

[@robertg7396]

​@AaliyahCapili please please please react to Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill. "How Great thou art." The vocals will absolutely blow your mind! One of the greatest live performances I've ever seen/heard. 🤯

[@williamreiser3118]

Two of my favorites from these guys beautiful are if you leave me now and 25/6 to 4 which by the way I don't know if you know it came up with the idea for the song when the recording it in the wee hours of the morning

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Produced by David Foster. Written by him and Peter Cetera. The video does not reveal who the right performers are for the audio. Credits for audio. Peter Cetera on lead and backing vocals, acoustic guitar. David Foster on piano 🎹, synth bass, synthesizers (not on video). Chris Pinnick on lead guitar (studio and video). Danny Seraphine on drums (studio and audio). Not in video. Michael Landau on rhythm guitar. Members of Toto. David Paich and Steve Porcaro on synthesizers. This song was written for the soundtrack to the movie 🎥 Summer Lovers. It appears near the end of the movie. In the same year, Paich and Porcaro played with other musicians including their band Toto. They worked like a dog 🐕! L 🤣L. Suggested videos featuring David Foster as writer and/or performer 📹: 1 Morissette Amon and David Foster perform The Bodyguard medley live in Manila. 2 Steve Perry and David Foster perform I Stand Alone 3 The Tubes perform She's a Beauty 4 David Foster and Stell Ajero perform All by Myself live in The Philippines 🇵🇭.

Amazingly talented band, when they weren't arguing 😂

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Especially when they were sober and listened to a great producer abd co-writer in David Foster. Having guest musicians help. See the names in my main post 📫 or other sources.

[@Trepanist]

Have you done any Little River Band?

[@thomastimlin1724]

I am 68 and wish I were 20 again lol. Great singing by Peter Cetera. However: After their guitarist Terry Kath died in early 1978, Chicago's sound had completely morphed into1980's Power Ballads for Peter Cetera, the bass player, to sing with Chicago backing him up in an over produced echo chamber of Power Ballads, drowning out the trademark sound of the horn section. This is not the real Chicago sound to many of us. From 1968 to 1978 the horns were dominant in the arrangement, no synthesized strings and stuff, and there were three lead singers that included the pianist/ songwriter Robert Lamm, Terry Kath guitarist, and Peter. Occasionally the trombone player James Pankow would sing solo as well. Jazz/Rock Bands. This irritated us die hard fans that loved the original sound with more than equal creativeness in song writing and performance. Explore their original sound from 1968 -1978 to understand what I am saying here. And yes, I have a music degree and was a school band director. I see you did check out 25 or 6 to4. You can hear a drastic difference.

[@thesmartestazzofall]

Its great that you have reaction videos - youre adorable - but I think you could really grow your channel and start building your brand by doing covers of the songs instead of just reacting to them. Or maybe after you react - than sing your version of it all. With a voice like yours you should easily be able to sing out the songs you admire and even add your own unique operatic twist to them - I think viewers will really appreciate that. Best of luck on the channel growth

[@joebarrera9741]

DON'T GET ME I LOVE PETER CETERA AND ROBRT LAMM BUT AFTER LOSING TERRY ON GUITAR AND DANIEL SERAPHINE IN DRUMS ....OH WELL IT HAPPENED

Can you record a song from my country Brazil? It's acoustic rock with an orchestra. The vocals are the best here in Brazil. I kindly ask, thank you. Kisses from Brazil. music: Rosa de Saron - Deo Vero.

[@danielcrowley1211]

they cut off the song. you need to hear the rest of it

[@rorybisson756]

one of the most bitter divorces in music history. Peter while being a great singer is a real POS as a person. not only did he politic/bully his way to lead vocalist when the original lead singer of the band died, but when they were elected into the Rock N Roll HoF, the band was willing to put aside their hatred for a night but Peter being the asshole he is, couldn't be bothered even for 1 night. which was probably like 15-30 min of actual interaction in front of the cameras.

[@joebarrera9741]
