👀⭐ Alone︱REACTION (BeeGees) *(I Tried to pause way less)*

[@Jeff2Squared]

❗I pushed myself way outside my comfort zone, I know it's still a bit to much and i rambled at the first pause but i hope to make it even better next video.. Note* I am a comedy reaction channel by trade and only understand music in it's most basic sense, If your looking for someone who will have a deep understanding of the lyrics, terminology and overall sense of the track you will be disappointed. I'll do my best to learn from all of you in the comments but I didn't grow up listening to any music so this is all new territory for me. I love to hear about the history of your favorite artists as well as any songs or video's you think I should watch to increase my understanding.

You are doing a fantastic job. This is a song highlighting Robin's voice. I Can't See Nobody. Maurice, Man In The Middle. Barry, Shine Shine.

[@susieq9801]

@Jeff2Squared - Since you said you don't know the musical terms - Falsetto is someone singing in a voice that is higher than their NATURAL voice. FALSEtto. It's in the word itself. Barry mainly sang the falsetto. On the other hand Robin's NATURAL voice was actually higher than Barry's without the use of falsetto (which he could also do but did not often use. That was Barry's forte). Barry had a 4 octave natural range and Robin had a 5 octave natural range. The main word in that statement is "natural". Robin also had a rare natural trait, "vibrato" which is the quavering sound in his voice which is a very rapid and accurate variation in pitch. Barry's is likely more "commercial" for the public while Robin's is unusual and unique. Just two different voices but they share the same familial harmonic tone that is rare except in siblings. That brings in Maurice who also had a terrific voice and could find the harmony easily and naturally. He was the musician of the group.

You are doing great, thank you for trying. That says a lot about you. Looking forward to your reactions, especially Bee Gees reactions since they’re my favorite band. ❤❤❤

No…all 3 brothers wrote this song, not just Maurice. It was Barry & Robin doing the lead in this song. And it shows the staying power of the brothers, because it was released in 1997 (close to the end of their careers). They started in 1958 and now this song is some 39 years later! They also released another album in 2001 (which would be their last). I’m just thankful you’re trying something new and getting more info about the brothers. It’s keeping their music alive for future generations!❤ Also those are some home videos of them when they were younger!

[@Jeff2Squared]

"No…all 3 brothers wrote this song" Really (I guess it does say we), I thought it said Maurice originally wrote the opening part but i was on the wrong site. Either way after my break and discussion with my new friend, I'm going to post at least 3 more today maybe more. I also might bring him on as a guest star in the future. I had the hold the side of my chair so i didn't press the pause button.

[@ConnieKWONG-lw4zl]

Take it easy for everyone have their own beloved music... musician... just enjoy 😊❤I find my beloved one' The Bee Gees '... forever talented gorgeous musicians😊😊

[@dianebradley597]

Please stop calling yourself an idiot. None of us was born knowing what we know -- life is a journey of discovery. Embrace it.

[@Jeff2Squared]

To be fair I use idiot a a term of endearment for me, I don't believe I'm an actual idiot i graduated with a 4.0 and have multiple IT degrees, but I also know my strengths and my music requests from you guys will have limits for the next year or so.

[@ConnieKWONG-lw4zl]

Off course they all had individual talents... But my beloved Barry was no one😊❤❤

[@Debcatawba]

Be fearless in your pursuit of discovering music. A new world will open up for you. Music is truly magic.

[@tinakeith5822]

They were brothers so they were together all the time. With that said….this is what they wanted to do. They enjoyed it!!!! They each had a humorous personality. Very humble!!!

[@70sMusicLady]

I love, love, love this song. Well, pretty much all of their music. But, this song is also sad because Barry is the only one left of 4 brothers. So, in that way, he is "alone". He does however have an older sister. Also, a wife of over 50 years, children, nieces and nephews, and I'm guessing by now, he has grandchildren. (This song was released in 1997) . Their last song was released in 2001, two years before Mo died. It is titled "This is where I came in". Another great one, and kinda autobiographical. If you haven't done it, please react to the official video.

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

I think you are doing ok. We tune in to see your reactions, don’t expect technical language just honest reaction. There are times it is hard to distinguish which is singing because they blend so well. The blonde is Robin. You would enjoy when he’s gone, Kiss of life and Wind of change (1979). Keep it up i am enjoying your videos ❤

[@Jeff2Squared]

well some of you are nicer than you should be lol.

[@ConnieKWONG-lw4zl]

Previously I remember you had said that why Barry always took the lead in singing, the gibb brothers came to the agreement that who brought the original idea of the song would be the front man....😊❤

[@susieq9801]

They also said the lead was taken by who had the voice suited to a particular type of song.

[@willow_wise]

I think you're doing great and I'm enjoying your reactions. Above anything else, I appreciate authenticity in a reactor and you have that in spades. I'd say worry less about pleasing everyone (cause you never will) and focus more on your unique way of doing things. Also, maybe worry less about the technical (tone deaf??) aspects of the music and pay attention to how the music makes you feel, where it takes you, the stories/memories/images it invokes, the "sense" of it. Bee Gees were masters of emotion and weaved that into their music - let that speak to you (just a thought). I'll be following to see where you takes things. I always love a Bee Gee reaction especially from someone who is really focussed on appreciating their music.

[@Jeff2Squared]

ya your probably right, but id still like to learn more of the technical stuff as well.

[@Kknightmcc]

This was written by all three of them. They have bee singing together since they were 9 and 6 years old

[@ingridneumann8196]

Amazing Voices Amazing Song Amazing Bee Gees.❤❤❤Thanks for watching.

[@ConnieKWONG-lw4zl]

Yes and sorry to say that I have such a big difference from your first reaction to the song'Too Much Heaven'....at that time I was blown away by Barry.. how smooth, angelic voice.. stunning to me..❤🎉that was my first time to listen their first song....❤🎉🎉 later I became their die hard forever fans... amazing music journey from the talented Gibb brothers ...🎉❤😊

[@Jeff2Squared]

Ya, well, I should have put my disclaimer in the first time.

[@Kknightmcc]

Maurice was in the back, Robin was on the side

[@rwilson7197]

Don't be so hard on yourself for not always picking out the bassline or the particular instruments played like horns or strings. Enjoy at your your own level. I enjoyed your comments. I like your new goal of stopping only 3 times. If you pause too often, you are not feeling the full effect of the music. I know the more you listen, the better you will get at listening and hearing and enjoying. ❤ Please react to some songs where Robin sings the lead or Barry & Robin share. I'm suggesting "Rings Around the Moon" ( not the funeral video though), "And the Sun Will Shine" ( Melbourne 1974 video), and "Embrace", for example!❤

[@Jeff2Squared]

lol you should see my channel video, i do plan to ad more begees soon but i just started a new job and thats been taking all my time.

[@ConnieKWONG-lw4zl]

You are also humble for you just put you at the bottom corner but put the reaction music at the centre of the screen...I adore your humble 😊❤

[@Jeff2Squared]

oh that wasnt always the case i used to cover half the screen with my face lol. You learn over time and by getting into weird arguments with viewers.

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

You would enjoy their 2001 This is where I came in video. It is depicting their lives in a 4 minute video. Great dong and video. Would also enjoy He’s a liar ❤

[@Jeff2Squared]

Sure, I'm going to be a bit slower on the uploads due to a new IRL job

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

@@Jeff2Squared I understand that. Will be here when you post

[@Jeff2Squared]

Funnily enough, even with my suspect background in music, I was hired to edit wedding highlight videos... let's see if that has an effect on my reaction videos lol.

[@nelerhabarber5602]

An easy way to distinguish between their voices you have to listen to and, above all, SEE songs in which everyone sings ALONE. In Nights of broadway you can hear/see Barry and Robin singing solo parts, Words (1979) is sung by Barry, I started a koke by Robin and Man in the middle by Maurice. Mostly Barry and Robin sing lead (parts), Maurice very rarely, he rather completes the Harmonies.

[@Jeff2Squared]

Ya, that makes sense let's see if i can actually accomplish this... maybe when i get through their entire 1000+ song catalogue? I think your right I have to SEE, which if you've seen my other stuff I really focus on the See aspect (maybe a bit to much)

[@nelerhabarber5602]

@@Jeff2Squared Typically man, women multitask, they can see AND hear at the same time!😁☺

[@Jeff2Squared]

Depends on the person typically people learn in different ways, some are visual like me, some learn from auditory ques. For instance I have near a near photographic memory for written words and certain types of visuals but I also have face blindness. I could be talking to you and you could tell me your name 3 times and by the end of a 10 minute conversation i would have no idea who you are at least from a name standpoint if we passed on the street 30 minutes later. (I have a ton of friends who I know by their face but I actually have no idea what there name is luckily they havent noticed and many of these friendships are years old). Many people use audio to connect with a visual item and link them together, I cant easily link audio and visual items together. Here is an example I had a 4.0 all through college but i cant remember a single lecture, i can however remember entire chapters from the text books and in most cases what pages key information is located. Many people will say well then just listen to lyric videos but that also doesn't work. Becuase I can't link the audio to a visual representation of something it basicaly stays in short term memory only.

[@nelerhabarber5602]

@@Jeff2Squared Wow. it was only a little joke, and I like your reactions. I know this , I was a teacher and we learned about the different Learning types (auditory. visual , motoric, communicative)as well as some of the “bells and whistles”, special features etc. at the University. Greetings from Austria! Oh and the Bee Gees for example belong to the greatest songwriters, could play all instruments and NONE of them could read a single music note!!!

[@Jeff2Squared]

Lol Do I act like a typical reactor? Also, I didn't take it as a hash criticism, you were correct, typically many people are able to in fact use all there senses in conjunction with each other. I was taught German through Pimsleur.... Uh ya that uh didnt work out very well... Here is something funny I can actually read music sheets but i cant play it. P.S. Who are you again 😀

[@Puffinugginns]

Overall way better, you stiil need some work in a general sense. But this is like a night and day difference. Thank for adding that first skip lol.

[@Jeff2Squared]

ya the first few songs were pretty bad weren't they?

[@Puffinugginns]

They weren't the worst, but this was way better.

[@HeatherMyfanwyTylerGreey]

You don't have to be a scholar to enjoy music even the Bee Gee's had no music lessons or teaching they were always being told what they were doing was musically incorrect. But in the end they ended up the Songwriter's Hall of Fame ; the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and none of them could write a single note of music or read it! Just enjoy. If it sounds like you when you have dropped a brick on your toes, its falsetto. If it sounds like you do with gut ache its a Minor tone. Direct opposites. Between them the three Bee Gee's sing all these notes.

[@moodaymoom2271]

The fact you weren't allowed to watch TV will have enriched your life I'm sure. Kids watch far too much, they don't know how to entertain themselves or just go outside and play.

[@Jeff2Squared]

hey are we now talking about my bad decisions now since I'm making up for lost time... lol

[@kori2287]

K I subscribed 😅, now I'm going to watch your other Bee Gees videos 😁 Thanks for reacting to my favourite band.👍 I hope you react to Queen , if you didn't.

[@Jeff2Squared]

Careful what you wish for lol (My other music reaction's are unique even this one is interesting but I'm working on it slowly) , I actually have vaguely heard of Queen (I will react to basically anything that isnt auto blocked by KZbin).

if you have a suggestion post it here.

That is Robin who shares the lead. Please react to Fanny be tender with my love. It’s my favorite song by them.

[@Kknightmcc]

That was Robin with the long light hair

[@ConnieKWONG-lw4zl]

Barry was a great humble family musician..of course the twins brothers were also great and talented.....❤😊 If you study more of their documentary you would know more about the Bee Gees had also go through their set back and came back ..not a band just to show off...

I don't do deep dives only requests from viewers, I also usually have a disclaimer on my videos because of this.
