Debbie Gibson - Foolish Beat & Chris Young - Drowning REACTION! THIS WAS A WHOLE VIBE

[@cdtnplyr]

Chris young Drowning is one of my favorite songs out right now

[@nicolemoore2912]

cdtnplyr same!

[@kieferdavis980]

Yes Yes yes

[@RhiannaBarr]

Debbie just turned 50 (August 31) and has been writing, playing piano and producing since she was 5 years old. She wrote this when she was 14. When she was 17 almost 18, she became the youngest singer/songwriter/producer to acheive a #1 Billboard hit..(June 25 1988).she graduatef high school.the next day 32 years later she still holds that record..she still performs to this day.

[@J.L.Nelson]

She was actually 16 when she wrote and produced this, the album came out when she was almost 17. That was her grandfather handing out the flowers and her cousin on the skateboard. When she was 18/19 Electric Youth came out. I was in high school when this came out and I loved her. I wrote songs just like she did. Memories.

[@pattyg1821]

Debbie released this song 6/25/1988 at age 17. She was the youngest female artist to write,produce and perform a #1 hit song. She still holds the record for 31 years now. She writes her own music. Check out Lost in your eyes is a #1.

[@mrs.siffles1746]

Lost in your eyes is amazing!

[@BillGraper]

Soulja Boy (Tell Em) beat her, but she's still the youngest female.

[@jilldurham5498]

I'm sorry in some places in the music video she looks like a young Miley Cyrus.

[@METerrell]

@@BillGraper No he didn't. They're tied. She was 17, and so was he when Crank That hit number 1.

[@pammorgan721]

Ahhhhhh, so many memories listening to Debbie Gibson , I wore that cassette tape out , lol

[@sarahp8058]

Me too!! Mom had to get me another one. Lol

[@BillGraper]

Same! I had "Out Of The Blue" and "Electric Youth" everywhere I went. LOL!

[@daniellong5]

My parents died 86 days apart in 2004 and a day does not pass without me thinking of them. One of the hardest and best times all at once. I moved home and took care of both of them until they passed and I got closure with both of them

[@heatherthomas9441]

This song makes me think of my mom that passed away in 2014! I miss her a lot! Also one of my favorite dogs passed away I miss her a lot too!

[@jackie_jrml]

Omg love Debbie Gibson. Grew up on her music. This song is the jam. 💕👍🏼

[@LadyTwilightofchaos]

When I hear Chris Young Drowning, I think about my sister. April 4th of 2020 made 2 years since she passed away. I held her hand as she took her last breath.

[@jayceepaceley1958]

Song about his best friend died watched the original one it really shows how much makes u think of everyone. Have lots love for each everyone who has love one.

[@BillGraper]

Her "Out Of The Blue" and "Electric Youth" albums were my teen years! I wore those out. Know what? I'm now 49, and these are STILL my jams! I've been a DEBHEAD since day 1, in 1987. :)

[@williamhindman9663]

Makes me miss my aunt and many of my close friends. Lost too many. Love you all. Keep up the good work Billy!

[@KrissyKnits]

You asked who we think about when we hear the song drowning by Chris Young. I think of my father. My Dad had Oral cancer and a tumor on his carotid. It took his life on February 26, 2019. For the 2 1/2 years prior to that he didn’t have a voice and couldn’t eat on his own so I don’t have his voice to listen to. I heard this song for the first time a week after he pasted. The words perfectly expresses what grieving somebody is like. I miss you Dad with my whole heart.

[@SpunkyCats]

Drowning reminds me of my Grandfather. He passed away my senior year of high school. He was my best friend. April 8th will be 10 years since he passed. Not a moment goes by that I don’t wish I wouldn’t have gone home that night to try to get some sleep. He was gone before I could make it back to the hospital.

[@sh60guy25]

I had such a crush on her back then. 87-88 is my favorite two years for music!

[@kahlahutchcroft]

Drowning always makes me think of my mom. She lost her 8 year battle with cancer when I was 13. She was only 41 years old.

[@scooby92571]

My dad's been gone 30 yrs and my mom 29 yrs. and there is days that it feels that it was yesterday. so yes it def comes in waves...

[@isabelladelgado3300]

I miss my mom...gone way too soon. She was my bestfriend. She’s been gone a year this month & I keep coming back and watching this reaction over and over since she died. It’s true, you do feel like you’re drowning when you think about it

[@amandadaniel1832]

On my wifes account, my best friend from High School, were in our 40s now, he passed away from cancer early this year, one of the most horrific losses of my life, and I am a combat vet so thats saying something, miss the man more than i can ever explain

[@thewhitewolf7728]

About once a month I play this on repeat and just let myself miss every: all my grandparents, uncles, little brother, girlfriend, classmates, 3 unit buddies including my last squad leader, along with my 2 ex step daughters (didn't pass but after the divorce I haven't been able to see my little girls)....this song is so accurate on many days!! Along with who you'd be today and go rest high on the mountain that you have reacted to.

[@sunshineness2007]

I haven't heard a Debbie Gibson song since I was 12 wow you need to do more of her please

[@natalieedman8409]

Drowning reminds me of my aunt who passed away this past March from cancer she was my best friend my cheerleader my everything. I know she's in a better place but I wish that was next to me.

[@caretaker158]

Debbie Gibson and I are the same age.... man what memories you're bringing back.... high school days.... sighhhhhhhhhh ok, time to make a new play list lol

[@christinamitchell6796]

I grew up on Debbie and Britney, because Britney and I were the same age same gifts gymnastics and dance, it was so intense back then, but you crack me up with the... she said "who whoooo" @7:53.. Lol funny as hell..l!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@neta012]

I miss my dad. He passed away on a Thursday October 13, 2011 but it still feels like it was yesterday. I was the one who found him

[@chelseaeastin1159]

BYSE, I lost my grandma recently and it’s exactly who I think of every time I hear this song. I had always imagined her at my wedding but, like with you, she was taken by cancer. God bless!

[@BillyYouSoCrazy]

Aww I’m sorry for your loss Chelsea... God bless you

[@chelseaeastin1159]

You as well Billy. Thank you for all you do, it may not seem like much but the so crazy fam definitely appreciates the escapism and entertainment. [especially in the current social and political climate].

[@mickeyhank]

Hilarious, excellent reaction! Thank you sir.

[@melissanyenhuis35]

This song. Reminds me of my two. Grandpas they were really close to me

[@gunn3ls290]

Drowning 100% reminds me of my dad. I cry everytime I hear it. I know he is looking down and the life lessons are always there...but he's not. It gets hard but noone said life was easy. You just got to keep on keeping on, keep pushing forward.

[@mrs.siffles1746]

Love Chris Youngs song Drowning. It makes me think of my Mom who lost her battle with metastatic breast cancer just 4 months ago today. She was my best friend.

[@kieferdavis980]

Yes so was my mother as well rip 10 12 18

[@randallflagg6862]

"Foolish Beat" set a record for Gibson, making her (at 17) the youngest artist ever to have _written, produced, and performed_ a Billboard number-one single, as entered in the 1988 *Guinness Book of World Records.* She remains the youngest female artist to have done so

[@AriesFiyah]

My Auntie taught me to be sassy and strong. And in 2012, she died of colon cancer. I remember it every day. She was only fifty. I hate cancer. But, thank you for reacting to this , Billy. It means the world. 💜

[@karenjack8727]

Dude I used to wait for this song to come on the radio so I could record it! My jam

[@brentrussell4251]

A girl that I “dated” back in elementary school died in a car accident with her brother tragically whenever they crashed and flipped into a creek. Drowning by Chris Young brings back memories of her. Her parents even buried her in a necklace that I got for her

[@amyhodge7977]

Debbie Gibson. Just like that I am 13 with huge bangs bawling my eyes out because the love of my life dumped me after our epic 2 week romance!

[@GS-kx8wc]

Lmao!!!! You too??? Lol

[@BillyYouSoCrazy]

Not epic 2 week romance!!! That’s hilarious 😂

[@whattheplucked9576]

Yes!

[@christinamitchell6796]

Epic 2week...I love you ...hahaaa ok That's how everything felt...epic...Lol

[@dianemoonstone4715]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💕💕💕

[@mariloudagooc5304]

Debbie gibson is popular here in philipines Her songs is keep playing on my radio playlist

[@MrsJymie]

Chris Young’s song is about a friend he lost to soon from an accident and he wrote this to help him cope with it if u can find a live video of this song he brakes down almost every time

[@tiffaniemcneal4690]

When I hear Drowning I think of My twin sister, all 5 of my angel babies, my niece, all of my grandparents and my cousin. 😭

[@alicia-fq5hg]

One of my best friends died suddenly in February a week before her 34th birthday. She went to bed and 4 hours later she was found unconscious. Case was closed, "undetermined". We'll never know why she left. I listen to this song every day and bawl my eyes out. "But its killing me we can't be face to face, I miss my best friend.." 😭😭

[@tawnyrobinson3930]

This is my favorite Debbie Gibson song!! She was my idol growing up! So glad you reacted to this song!!

[@nicolemoore2912]

“Drowning” dropped as a single a couple of months after he debuted it on Twitter and he debuted it a day after my Nana died Easter 2019 😭😭😭😭

[@colinrider8821]

Nicole Raines I’m sorry for you loss 🙏🙏

[@nicolemoore2912]

Thank you

[@sarahp8058]

If you want more Debbie Gibson songs here you go..Only in my Dreams, Electric Youth and Out of the Blue are awesome.

[@TimedRevolver]

Lost in your Eyes is another good one. Haven't heard a bad Debbie Gibson song, honestly.

[@BillGraper]

One of the greatest moments in music history was when this song was sitting at #1 in the USA, the week of 6/25/88. DEBHEAD FOREVER!!!

[@toneikascott2340]

I was in the 7th grade! I was a Deb head!

[@billymuellerTikTok]

that was the day before I turned 16

[@justinrachael1]

My best friend was supposed to get married in 2016. 3 months before the wedding and the day after we had her bridal portrait taken, her fiancé was killed in a car accident. This reminds me of them. I miss him too.

[@jakegaming1993]

11:05 my papa he passed away 9 years ago, one day ill see you again so tonight i'm drowning

[@samanimeguy23]

One of my fave songs

[@samanimeguy23]

Love her angelic voice

[@shantel7107]

I saw Chris Young sing this live last night 7.7.19, the lady in front of me lost it & couldn't stay until of the concert.

[@sarahp8058]

Omg Debbie Gibson brings me back. Yikes I was a youngin when she was popular but, I was always singing to either her or Belinda Carlisle. Great reaction!! She wrote her own music and was singing I think by the time she was 14. Yes you do need to listen to more Debbie.

[@tiffylove36]

You need to watch Chris Young's actual video for Drowning.......He just released it this week! He did an absolutely amazing job and made it personal by adding fans to the video while holding up pictures of loved ones that they lost......Please watch it! He wrote this song about his best friend Adam who was killed in a car accident a few yrs ago!

[@kieferdavis980]

Whenever I hear this song it reminds me of my momma rip mom luv and miss u always

[@rorycoats8014]

TY Billy

[@WizardPandora]

Drowning reminds me of two ppl, first was my friend I lost to gang violence when we were both 14 ( he was exactly one week older than is, and oddly I still bear a scar under my left shoulder blade of where he was shot), he's been gone 25 yrs now. The 2nd person is my stepdad, he took his life 10yrs ago this coming October. In the Japanese culture him taking his own life was the honorable thing to do, he felt with his PTSD ( he was a former Marine, who fought and was a POW in Nam, he had a tattoo I loved " This Marine should go to heaven, he's spent his time in hell"), as well as AIDS Dementia that he was becomeing a burden on the family. Of all he men my married he was the only one I called Dad.

[@carebearmafia42013]

😂🤣😂😆the dancing along with her is amazingly epic!! Get it Billy, get it!!!

[@deblynn1000]

Makes me think of my Dad I lost 5 years ago.Love this heart touching & powerful song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BillGraper]

Debbie Gibson "Think With Your Heart." It's like a Broadway tune, and her voice is so amazing!!!

[@BillGraper]

The week of June 25, 1988 was one of the greatest weeks in the history of our charts. "Foolish Beat" was sitting at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It was #1 in both airplay & sales that week. :)

[@whoaitsleah8191]

Yessss I wanted you to react to Chris young’s drowning lol❤️❤️

[@tharnden79]

Chris Young’s “Drowning” is so on point! I have unfortunately had my fair share of loss in my family and this song says exactly how I feel. Most days I’m ok, but then others I’m totally drowning!! I’m so thankful for people who can write songs that help express how people feel at certain times. Music is so healing.

[@cassadisangrey6178]

Drowning reminds me of my dad, I lost him when I was three. I’ve gone 16 almost 17 years without him. This song always makes me sob.

[@BriLeighLove]

Thanks, Billy! This song hits me hard because I lost my dad on 1/26/13. He held on to meet my youngest... she was born on 11/26/12. So thankful to have gotten pictures of them together. ❤

[@dellakimbertk444]

This song makes me think of my dad. Passed away 6/4/2019, from heart failure; his heart just stopped at the same time my mother was coming down the stairs that morning. I regret not being there for her that day, but we're getting stronger and it's slowly starting to hurt less. Rip dad, I love you and I miss you.

[@redchick5278]

Drowning makes me think of my mom! She died unexpectedly in August of 2017! She loved country so this makes me think of her! Also Debbie Gibson is amazing! I saw her in concert when I was 9 in 1987!! She wrote and produced all her music!! She was at the time the youngest to do so!! Saw her in July with the Nee Kids On The Block! She was still amazing! Songs off hers that are amazing are (in no order) Lost In Your Eyes, Out Of The Blue, Shake Your Love, Staying Together, & Electric Youth!!! She is amazing!

[@moviegirl1100]

Chris wrote this song about his best friend Adam that died after being struck by a drunk driver. The first time he sang it on the opry he couldn't make it all the way through the song. All of Chris' songs are great. He sounds just as good live as he does on his cds.

[@rileyhoneycutt2348]

The person i think of when i listen to this song is my mom, she passed away from stage 4 pancreatic cancer about 2 years ago when i was 15, one of her last wishes was to see my older brother graduate but we knew she wouldnt make it till then and luckly our high schools jrotc program threw an early graduation for him and she actually passed two weeks after the ceramony for him

[@andreadeamon6419]

Yes - the fabulous 80s. Took a bunch of kids to see her twice and we had a blast. She's in this video with the new kids on the block

[@andreadeamon6419]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6eygaKHp9l5fas

[@andreadeamon6419]

Video cracks me up

[@shaleyyoung8974]

The song Drowing makes me think of my papaw and my aunt who just recently passed.

[@pearlviolet294]

My mommy lost her oct 17 2015 she was the very first person to have lost for us we were born after grandparents passed away never gets easier no matter how much time has since moved on

[@thatboihank6714]

Chris wrote drowning for his best friend Adam that passed away for those who didn’t know

[@DOMEstead]

He broke down while singing this at the Opry...

[@lilangelbaby8706]

He even sang it on the 2019 cmt honors....Kane Brown was honored....but just a few months before....his best friend and drummer Kenny was tragically killed in a car accident and Kane was still sooo sooo devastated and hurt....he couldn’t perform....he even broke down crying while accepting his award....he even dedicated it to Kenny....and being the best friend Chris is....he sang this song for him

[@jp3813]

The two other Debbie Gibson songs that are in the same vein as "Foolish Beat" are "Lost in Your Eyes" & "No More Rhyme".

[@lillymay2119]

This song drowing makes me think of my precious momma October 17th 2015 4 days before her 74 birthday. Me and my twin sister was only 31 years old. All of our grandparents passed away before we were born so momma literally was the 1st person to leave this earth and let me tell you we still literally go in waves and around this time of year was when they told us momma wouldn't be here long it is in waves and drowing the closer we get to October. Sorry this is so long just wanted to tell you

[@jbarnes1960]

An amazing talent, at 16 she wrote and produced this entire album, singing and playing most of the instruments.

[@deelawson4551]

Never heard this before until yesterday and my daughter showed me because my brother just past away this past week...I am having a very hard tine,he was my baby brother,,but great song!

[@ladylauraanne]

i've lost so many people, my mom, my dad, my grandma...but the person this song makes me think of and feel like i'm drowning is my cousin. She was was also my best friend and cancer stole her from me

[@amberhillman3742]

This is my favorite song ❤ reminds me of my cousin who was my bestfriend and sister. She passed away at the age of 22 from a car hitting her. I actually call her number to hear her voice. So when I heard this song, I automatically connected to it ❤ when I get in those days of missing her, I play this song helps me get through it.

[@Yesi_p18]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@HillaryHuffine]

When my cousin passed, my family and I decided to keep her phone number. We keep it locked at my aunt and uncle's house... but when we really need to hear her voice, we can. She will have been on 3 years this December, and honestly... somedays I miss her so bad it physically hurts. I can't even tell you the number of times I've gone to my favorites on my iPhone to call her and tell her something and then I remember she's not going to answer. I've always been terrible at journalling. But over the years I've discovered that if I write a letter to whoever is weighing on my heart, it's therapeutic. So I bought a nice journal that is just filled with things I wanted to tell her.

[@melissakrueger461]

Holy crud! Debbie Gibson giving me a flash back being a 12 year old.

[@brandymarston9342]

I lost my mom 12/3/17 from liver failure and a month later on 1/4/18 my best friend of 12 years killed herself and then in 8/26/19 my father passed away from a hemorrhagic stroke. I think of them and other close family i have lost everytime i hear this song. The first few times i heard it i could listen to it all the way through cause it made me too sad.

[@barnesdebbie7227]

Drowing by Chris Young is so right on for what my sister is going thru now!😥 August 16,2019 my brother-in-law past at the young age of 52, unexpectedly!😥 I know he is in a better place.🙌 My sister how much she misses him, they were best friends.💑 I introduced them over 35 yrs ago, married 34.🤵👰 He was a avid hunter and fisherman, not trophy we eat our kills. He wrote for a state hunting magazine. He video in the woods constantly. So she has videos to hear him and watch him. They have a son and daughter both married, he had 3 grands(1 grandson 11 & 2 granddaughters 6 & 8) so it has been really sad,emotional and quite he was a jokester!😂 I hurt so bad for her!😥😢 Please say a prayer🙏 for her their Anniversary is October 19, I know it will be a hard one!😢 🌹🌺❣🙏❣🌺🌹

[@valeries2037]

Saw Debbie in May during the Mixtape Tour with NKOTB, Salt n Pepper, Naughty by Nature and Tiffiany. Great show! Drowning is about Chris Young's best friend. He wasn't going to release it yet but the version of him singing it at the Opry was released/someone shared it from the night... and him breaking down/that performance, led to another performance of him talking about it (then singing).. then he released it. This version is much more produced/instrument driven then the other versions, and I like them more - but still love it in general.

[@trishas33]

My sister passed 4 1/2 years ago. I still think about her everyday. I can't call her voicemail but I have her last texts saved in my phone.

[@lifeofanautismmama5894]

Ahhh....my childhood😍

[@trystenharris7065]

In 2012 my grandpa passed away due to emphysema which is a lung disease usually caused by smoking and this your in May of 2020 I lost my dad due to a second massive heart attack and I’m 17 years old now

[@ntmballistix5445]

When ever I hear drowning by Chris Young, I think of my best friend Sam who passed in April, he didn’t get to see 16 years old

[@labchic97]

Tonight I'm drowning reminds me of my ex and my dad. My dad passed when I was 8 months pregnant and he was looking so forward to seeing his 2nd grandson. My oldest sons father passed away 6 yrs ago and I think of him alot

[@ktrnjoybets]

[@cassiesobotta4723]

You have to watch the actual video of drowing if you haven't already. It's so raw and pure.

[@rubytexas1563]

Lost my maternal grandmother when I was 7 and she was 54. She was special. Her younger sister died at around 84 and when my mom and I went to her viewing...two women came up and asked my mom if she was Ruby's daughter...my mom said yes and the woman said she had been married to a cousin of my mom and the other lady was her daughter...she Then started talking about how much Granny had helped them including one Thanksgiving when they had no food and Granny gave them food because she ran a truck stop...they talked about Granny for about 15 minutes...just blew my mind that after 30 years they still thought of her.

[@toddhodges4405]

Lost my brother on Valentines Day 2008 and my dad in may of 2009

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

My only one of hers that I really love. You are a funny man!! I love your take on the 80s moves.. haha.. Yeah it was corny but a lot of fun too..

[@ccalexander1924]

This is a beautiful song. I like the live version better. Beautiful voice.

[@hilarypotter3334]

This may sound stupid but Drowning makes me think of my dog we had to let go in November. My best friend in the world.

[@RachelinAK]

My little sister... forever 34... my best friend.

[@mirandahankins6890]

I've lost 5 uncle's 3 grandparents and an aunt. Also lost a child. This song however reminds me of my best friend Judy. She died last month (september)

[@robertlayne802]

Had a serious crush on her as a youngster. My wife is reading over my shoulder and says “hell you still do” Yeah she might be right 😂😂

[@linkfromhyrule5504]

I had a crush on Tiffany. I had a thing for pretty redheads. I still do.😀

[@robertlayne802]

Yup. Back then Debbie Gibson and Tiffany.. .battle of the mall queens. Back when shopping malls were such a huge hang out that they had concerts in them.

[@RockMastaful]
