[@joannfravel6882]

Linda Perry wrote “Beautiful” for Christina Aguilera and “Get the Party Started” for Pink. She is a well known song writer and this song is hers.

[@wanderlustaesthete4117]

Also wrote for Beyoncé and Adele

[@qbaby5275]

when she did beautiful with Christina, Pink was pissed... Glitter baby

[@dansegelov305]

Yeah this is the original song. Linda Perry is a great songwriter and you will definitely have heard plenty of her songs that she's written for other artists such as Pink, Christina Aguilera, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Celine Dion, Gwen Stefani, Kelly Osbourne and Alicia Keys. She's a Legend

[@rayj1011]

Lead singer Linda Perry is a prolific songwriter and her songs have been performed by many notable artists.

[@djdelugach2402]

With 1.3 Billion views, one should come to the conclusion that this song is a timeless classic, and will be enjoyed by future generations long after we are gone, and as long as there are folks around to hear it...It's called STAYING POWER!!

[@hollydeitch1977]

And it cane out when I was 15 ❤ what a time to be a teenager!

[@dard4642]

This song was released in 1992 and I've never gotten tired of hearing it. Linda Perry has such a unique beauty and her smile makes me wish that I knew her. The song is kind of perfect in the sense that it has just enough of everything. It's beautifully carried by Perry's vocal dynamics, which are precise and deliberate. Good reaction, y'all!

[@steeda9]

This qualifies as an Anthem. Such a great song.

[@maxmess1235]

Absolutely ✌🏽

[@chasingpax1111]

It IS an anthem. Here in the Philippines, at least it is. :D I've gone on public commute many times and if this plays on the radio, most people start singing or humming along. :)

[@Dee-JayW]

This became a HUGE anthem for the LGTBQ community. HUGE.

[@michaelburns7530]

It's an anthem for anyone who's ever felt like they didn't fit in or belong

[@damonbrown4548]

Definitely my anthem, still! ❤️❤️

[@Mark-iv7np]

Man this chick has pipes, love the song. I'm listening to music 60 years i compare her to Janis Joplin, Anne Wilson of Heart and Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane. Incredible performance. I heard it before but that kind of song i don't tire of.

[@rogerkelly7988]

This was one of their biggest hits and Linda Perry's vocals are off the chain love it

[@robertherring9277]

As an 80's metal guy, I had this 45 and Edie Brickell "What I am." Edie plays one of the best bass grooves of the 80's in that and her voice is great. You should chk that out.

[@Erica-jv7ze]

YES!

[@Erica-jv7ze]

“Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep.”

[@ashleydixon4613]

Yes please Edie Brickell (a.k.a. Mrs. Paul Simon!) and new Bohemians! “What I Am.”

[@mamamac70]

Linda Perry has written songs for the likes of Pink, Adele, Beyonce, and more. This is the original song btw.

[@danielkarlsson258]

In my opinion one of the best songs ever with that singer. I just wanna step outside on my balcony and scream: "What's going on?!"

[@Mark-iv7np]

I'd rather scream I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it no more. Aahaha😂 Actually I love the song.

[@KarriSimone]

If my voice was a fraction of good I would be singing this outside on my balcony every morning too lol

[@debbiemccain5850]

Linda Perry is a genius songwriter!! She has written hits for many artists and her talent is amazing. If you've ever watched the TV talk show The Talk, she was married to host Sara Gilbert and appeared on there many times. Her catalog of musical accomplishments is amazing!🎶🎵🎶

[@bigredford1]

When this song came out I was dj'n in Las Vegas and this was our most requested song, that was 92, still a road trip fav...

[@sheteg1]

I was 23 in 1992. I friggin loved this song. Still belt it out like I’m 20’! 😂

[@hollydeitch1977]

I was 15 ❤ I wanna go back! Lol

[@ScottyScott70]

I was 22 in 1992, everybody loved them back then. Sadly breaking up in '94. Wanda May the drummer passed away in 1997 I think. Linda still writes beautifully and has written several hits for other artists. And at 53 years old, I can say it's one of the greatest songs of all time that appeals to all genres and their listeners. And with 1.4 billion views, I am obviously not the only one that feels like this.

[@babylonsister118]

My best friend passed about ten tears ago and this was her song so whenever I hear it I get the fuzzy warms! Great reaction. Rest peacefully, until we meet again, Gaetana!

[@toddpeters9007]

She is awesome ,Her voice is unreal level, the band is also, this song gets in you and you will sing it all the time , awesome song wow

[@mikemaggio4979]

Wonderful smile from Asia all the way through! Rightfully so, this song can only make you go outside and say Yo, It's me! What do you got to throw at me world!

[@pabloaparicio3556]

I was thinking the same thing, loved how much she was enjoying the song. This song always puts me in great mood. Excellent road trip song as well.

[@tao4mike]

Agreed! I was loving how much she was loving it! :)

[@jiovanna4136]

The great Linda Perry, She is a Grammy winner...she also a Grammy winner for being a song writer. She has wrote music for Pink, Christina Aguilera, KELLY Clarkson, Many more. She won Grammys for her extraordinary song writing for other artist. But before all that, she was a hugely popular music artist of her own right in the early 1990's. (What's Going On! )Song was so huge in 1992 and play continually all over the place. This song was all over and everywhere, played on the radio all the time, and the music video was on MTV & VH1 all the time. Her album went platinum and she won many awards including Grammys. It's a classic.

[@Cosmic86x]

A legendary song by a legendary band with a legendary front woman! Linda Perry with her incredible voice gives me personally (to a certain degree) some kind of Janis Joplin vibe.

[@joshuas193]

This is totally a 90's song. Reminds me of being a teenager. Great stuff. This is one you sing loud as hell if it come on the radio.

[@shazzzabanazz4789]

Me to I was 12 or 13 when this was a hit in UK takes me back I'm 42 now

[@kathyyore309]

Wonderful to see you appreciate this underrated song! Her voice is pure magic

[@dawnray8550]

It's definitely the original. She has an amazing voice and range. Her control is beautiful. So talented.

[@rjs2433]

Thank you guys so much for doing a reaction to this song!! This was one of my sister's favorite songs and we used to sing and play it together ❤ She passed away 10 years ago and I miss her every single day! But hearing this song again and watching you as you listened and watched with a newfound love and respect for the music made me feel closer to her again! So thank you for that!! It was just what I needed!! ❤💜💙

[@Dr3amtime]

I think this song had been out for about a decade before I first heard it. It immediately became one of my favorites, and remains so. Something about it still makes my eyes tear up.

[@oldmanghost219]

As they are telling you Linda Perry is a singer/songwriter. This song came out when Pink was young and it spoke to her. When Pink went to La she kept calling Linda and leaving messages. At the time Linda was in a dark reclusive destructive funk. It was a 15 minute message that got Linda's attention and she decided to work with Pink and Pink stayed with her for months. Pink's 1st hit "Let's get the Party Started" was born while Linda perked up and started life anew and now writng & producing for others.. (Pink - AKA - Alecia Moore) BTW - You want live to see the performers? Look up this Video on KZbin - PINK & LINDA PERRY What's Up Duet - it is priceless. From the LA LGBT Center. At the end instead of singing 25 years Pink sings 19 years and Linda says "what?" I can't make out the rest except Pink says "Please write another song for me" . A Female Friday Duet. In May of 2012 Linda was on "the talk" with her new song "Letter to God". She has them in tears.

[@LtFrankDrebin100]

This song in the “the louder the better” Hall of Fame.

[@christymurphy6571]

OMGOSH!! I've been jamming this song since Nov 2020. I scream it in my car driving to & from work. I'm sure that's why cars stay away from me on freeway.🤭 Crazy woman screaming to herself in her car. Lol

[@angeloc.6550]

We need another 4 Non Blondes and didn’t know it. Their group name alone is what we need!

[@Mar10Rawmost1]

Linda Perry has such a powerful voice, it just demands respect.

[@armandtrevy1890]

Linda Perry is phenomenal singer and song writer. She has written songs for some very famous singers. She is now happily married to Sarah Gilbert from the famous sitcom Rosanne and the view. What a phenomenal voice.

[@oldmanghost219]

Linda Perry does great covers of Led Zeppelin songs. I have seen interviews about her life story and about how the band was formed.

[@Professor-IC]

Outstanding song ! Outstanding voice ! She has a 1969 Woodstock look with a knockout voice range !

[@adamfanalways]

Yes, it is there song 🎶 the lead singer, Linda Perry wrote this song when she was 24! She has wrote a lot of hits for other artists, look her up! This is a great song 🎶 Marvin Gaye wrote a song called What’s Going On and in this song that is what they say but Linda didn’t want it to get confused with his song so she titled it What’s Up even though she never sings those words in her song, hope this helps!

[@joebeard4687]

Aaron Lewis, lead singer of Staind, does a kick ass cover of it! Solo, acoustic cover

[@mattb-zo7ws]

Calling all 90s kids 👏👏👏 this song comes and and I immediately know exactly what this wonderful gem is

[@Oliverklozov40813]

So many memories it brings back too. Good bad, wild, boring. I love nostalgia.

[@highwally967]

Always in my set list. Is a wonderful feel good song! Her voice is simply amazing and dynamic range!

[@RyTrapp0]

I REALLY miss the loss of the female singer-song writers that were so big in the '90s. I mean, they're certainly still out there, but this '90s style just seems to have gotten lost with the rest of '90s alternative. It's SO damn good too, we really need more of this. And, the best part, when they sang rock, they didn't try to sound like a dude! They just sounded like them!

[@selina9091]

Linda Perry is an absolute legend. You've heard songs performed by other artists that were written by this genius. She is a Portuguese decent. She suffered with kidney disease from childhood. She was married to Darlene from Roseanne and they share a child.

[@sczen]

From '93. They're from San Francisco~ Pink & Lady Gaga have performed this,too. Also a Very well done performance by a girl on American Idol.

[@JustaGuy2.0]

This and "Bitch", by Meredith Brooks, are my favorite "feminist" songs. I'm a guy, btw

[@mrbaddog4749]

Also K's Choice - I'm Not An Addict

[@mikephillips8810]

Another one is Oh Bondage - Up Yours, by X-Ray Spex

[@henningkallerhoff3967]

Me too (being guy) but I think Cindy Lauper with "Girls wanna have fun" alsofit's to your list ;-)....

[@gypsygirl3255]

I love love love Meredith Brooks!

[@carladicarlo3255]

Bitch is one of my all time favorites.

[@gerardroll6468]

This song was massive when it was released 🔥🔥🔥. One of the members of Budakhel (Bugoy Drilon) released his own version of this a while back, but did it with a very unique “twist”. I won’t say what it is but it just makes it even better than you’d expect ✌️😄✅

[@heyitsshadz]

I was 13 when I first heard this song back in the mid-90s(?). At 25, I sang the first line with more meaning. At 43 now, I still sing this song, but I change the it to "Forty-three years and my life is still..."

[@steve-eq8kx]

She is a beautiful genius.

[@LiLiJo]

What I love about watching music reactions is the unity it brings. It doesn’t matter your gender, race or age, good music is just good good music.

[@dennishendrikx3228]

1994, cycling to high school, with a huge diskman in my pocket. It was heavy, no where near shockproof and ate batteries. I miss the 90's.

[@TonyM1961]

4 Non Blondes is the original group. Everyone else you have heard is covering them. Gotta say that Pink does a really good cover

[@jasonraines8282]

The last time I heard this song, the wife and I were in a Kmart (wrap your heads around that). I sang it loud as shit and embarrassed her so bad. I know every word. 82 baby. It was so loud lmao. This was a jam in the 90's

[@roydavis5222]

I remember when this song came out. We were not sure at first if it was a man or woman. Linda Perry had such a range and she fooled us. This album was being recorded during the 1989 San Francisco Earthquake

[@seandobson6221]

Linda Perry is an amazing artist and she is married to tv star Sara Gilbert. This song came out when I was in high school and it was hilarious. My first job was at an amusement park. I worked in a funnel cake stand and we played music to pass the time. Me and the two other guys who worked the stand created dance performance,ances like idiots to all of the songs on the radio. People would come by just to see what we were movin to this time. Man I miss the days that were more simple when I just had to worry about having fun. This song was never done by a man.

[@Triggerhippie70]

Linda Perry is a genius! Her solo album is amazing front to back. Listen to her solo ‘knock me out’

[@candiland1007]

This is the kind of song you listen to in the car with the windows down and the radio up. I was in 2nd grade when this came out and my cousin and I would always belt this out.

[@williamjamesrapp7356]

My first time hearing them about 26+ years ago. Loved them STILL love them. They have a whole album thats great.

[@heatherdyer1569]

I love that y’all love this! Hope you’re still listening to it a year later. ❤

[@chriswren5045]

I have always loved this tune... especially since it was popular while I was a Junior in college at Chico State... I can remember a car full of women driving by me in 93' ...all singing this tune out loud, probably on their way to a party!

[@greggsmith9034]

Loved your reaction to this group. First time I heard them was back when they first came out back in 1989 and I was in love with Linda Perry's voice! You have to do their rendition of Led Zeppelin's Misty Mountain Hop, you will NOT regret it!

[@bostonvair]

Yes this is their original. As mentioned below, singer Linda Perry has written songs for many famous artists. Four Non Blondes had one album and this mega hit (and a lesser hit called "Morphine and Chocolate" from the same album from circa 1992 and then Linda went back to writing songs for other artists. WHich has been a great gig for her, but it would have been nice to hear her sing more, because her voice is just amazing. So many different sounds and colors she got to her voice in this song alone.

[@willeymiller4760]

and Yes Linda wrote this song

[@linzyaz920]

One of my favorite female singer rocker song writers of all time. And I must not leave out the band. Fantastic! And what the hell is goin on? Love it!

[@bradhubbard5898]

One hit wonders. What an amazing hit. Linda Perry’s vocal magic integrates perfect with the melody the 3 very lucky non blondes layed down.

[@CanadianPunker62]

This is one of those songs that is like Bohemian Rhapsody... you can probably just start singing it randomly anywhere and have at least a few people join in lol

[@timlenard1646]

Linda Perry (lead singer) was married to Sara Gilbert who played Darlene on The Roseanne Barr show...

[@susannewitt6112]

This is the original song and the original mv. So 90ies, give me me a time machine. ;) Btw. thanks for your good reactions in total.

[@keithetherington4824]

I don't remember her name but she's one of the best songwriters out there today. She helped and wrote songs with PINK on at least one of her albums.

[@Zebred2001]

Linda Perry certainly is a power singer. That's maybe why some who have only heard this on the radio thinks it's a male rocker singing. That reminds me of the voice of Timi Yuro who sang the 1962 classic What's A Matter Baby(Is It Hurting You). When I first heard that I thought it was a male too.

[@cshubs]

in 1993, they were booked to play a free show in a small park in Cincy while they were still nobodies. When the date came, the song was a hit, and 10 thousand people packed that little park.

[@vincentboyd6165]

she is the original writer Linda Perry. There's more to the story on the song which she hated, but if you want another good song by hers that I feel in my opinion better is called "Spaceman". Very powerful vocal and emotion. Just a powerful singer with a voice unmatched by other musicians other than I feel a new comer w/same potential Courtney Hadwin w the same power and emotion into her singing.

[@danieldehart7835]

The vinyl is awesome I picked up the album about a month ago it's one of the best albums I've heard and a long time and I think it came out in the 90s 92 is on the lp

[@t0dd000]

Was at a bar in Pittsburgh, drinking beers listening to some random live band when they stopped and said someone in the audience wanted to sing a little song. It was Linda Perry and totally crushed this song out. The place went nuts. She owned that bar that night.

[@richardconard9618]

I first heard this at a Detroit Red Wings game. When ever they called a penalty on the Wings they would play "hey what's going on" part of it. Never found out who actually sang it till a few years later. Great song.

[@KAP814]

Her voice gives me Joplin vibes, and she is an amazing song writer

[@domeshine69]

From their 1992 album, this song is written by the singer, Linda Perry.

[@bobbgraziano2430]

The Lead singer and song writer was married to Sara Gilbert the actress( Daughter on "Roseanne" TV show) till 2019.

[@kenyonsgirl415]

Fun fact: the lead singer, Linda Perry, was married to Sara Gilbert (Darlene on Roseanne) for about 5 years

[@Carson_Blu]

Oh snap! I've heard this song multiple times and always wondered who sang it. Now, I know 😅. Such a great jam! Awesome reaction y'all! Peace and love! Sending y'all positive vibes.

[@Oliverklozov40813]

Growing up in the 80's and 90's where I grew up and who I kicked it with, I couldn't let my homies know this was like one of my secret favorite songs. Like a guilty pleasure. :D

[@hogshinefarms3005]

One of my favorite jams... awsome watching u guys appreciate it... this is definitely an original

[@kevincaulder9001]

Linda Perry is a successful singer and producer. Her voice is her signature call to arms. I feel like Asia needs an injection of Joan Jett delivering her powerhouse vocals to DO YOU WANNA TOUCH ME ( OH, YEAH ). You should also give the Pretenders a listen on their punishing single, MIDDLE OF THE ROAD and the popular MY CITY WAS GONE. Strong women leading the charge and sounding great doing it.

[@ronparsons8786]

Classic tune with the classic message and it still holds up today. Linda Perry does some gymnastics with her voice doesn't she

[@Tessmage_Tessera]

One of the finest vocal performances of the past 50 years.

[@bigmeaney555]

This song was an anthem in 1992 along with I Would Do Anything For Love by Meatloaf. They were played on the radio like every 20 minutes.

[@jenniferneuensmorgan9272]

If you are wondering about the dichotomy between the song and the title, they were not allowed to use the phrase “what’s going on” as title, so they used “what’s up” instead.

[@runyunhyde4373]

Linda Perry has a solo album. Her song Knock me out is phenomenal

[@trikermama2779]

You guys really need to look into Linda Perry, she has written a lot of really good songs. With Pink and Christina Aguilera.

[@jonathanedison]

Such a classic! Listened to it throughout middle school and high school a bunch.

[@Martini3inc]

Another jam that zaps me back to 1993. Young and in love with my future wife. & 3 Years away from our first of 5 children. Nostalgia can be a great thing. I feel like my childhood was the last of the great childhoods. None of my kids know about black & white TV’s. Or none remote televisions. Or calling the operator to get a phone number. Or going thru the phone book. Landline phones. No cordless. Drinking out of hoses in the summer. Dogs without leashes chasing all around the neighborhood. 99cent gas. McDonald’s meal deal for a $1. This song just brings me back to a time of struggle but it was real. Not imaginary fakeness everywhere you turn. If you were poor back then. Then that’s what it was. Today’s people and kids. If they’re poor they still got $300 yeezys on. Wtf. Your school outfits are laced out but living on Welfare.

[@jamesbarnettjr771]

Live your incredible eyes and smile when you're feeling the music Love and I mean LOVE your beautiful reactions Asia 🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️🛵

[@willeymiller4760]

this is such a great song I have been listening to it since it came out I still listen to it weekly the singer Linda is such a great writer and she still writes for herself and has done many for other popular artists (pink Lady Gaga and a few others ) her voice is just pure and sweet I kow Asia likes it lol

[@ronstoner1823]

This is it! They were the original performers of this song, they were a lesbian band. I have no problem with lesbians, and I love this song!

[@MB-pw9mf]

No question this song is Dynomite🔥🔥🔥. To me and im listening to music over 60 yrs is one of the best songs I heard. Was out in 93, one of the best decade and literally best ever. No question Linda can cover Janis Joplins songs and do justice especially Piece of my Heart.

[@jennifertorey7834]

I love this song! Totally put me in a 90s mood. You guys should react to Lisa Loeb "Stay" I think you would both like it

[@Wreath83]

That song it's beautiful. Thanks for reacting.

Nothing but love for you guys keep up the good work keep give us good music we need to keep spreading that love the music piece God bless

San Francisco Grunge Rock at its finest, hell yeah !!! I lived in SF at this time - in the Inner Sunset near Haight St. - goin to hear open mics all over The City: Tribolectric, Jammilton, Lonnie Lazar, Bryan Harrison Band -- I love ya'all

[@TonyM1961]

You're right Asia. This is the original song, written by the lead singer Linda Perry. Pink does a pretty dope cover of it though

[@JimSburg69]

I still can't believe this group was a one hit wonder. I know she is a songwriter.

[@wilbursims5565]

I've been digging this joint for a long. She did the best version in my humble opinion. What's going on!?!?

[@jamesbercot9711]

Linda Perry is also one of the top record producers around.

[@ultimateninjaboi]

This is absolutely the original. But its seen many covers and remixes (especially dance mixes) over the years. And one particular early internet video of a remix set to scenes from HeMan remains a classic, and was passed around a LOT. So its no surprise you've heard some version of this before, even if not the original
