Some people just dislike Louis or they were promoting Bruce Springsteen album... They were promoting the second one as album of the week, besides the radio promo...

[@Dannalasapa]

Louis has a lot of haters. Haters gonna hate. They’re all - LIKE ALL OF THEM- mad Harry Stan’s, or ppl who think it’s just funny to hate on him bc they’ve seen their friends do it online (like the ppl who call him orphan which is just 😐). I’m totally ok if ppl don’t like artists I like music. I love Sam fender, Louis, Lana del Rey, Arctic monkeys, frank ocean, Paramore, daughter, rina sawayama, luke hemmings, Sabrina carpenter, etc. Lots of ppl won’t like their music and that’s ok but when u clearly passionately hate an artist just bc you’re a fan of his ex co worker ur opinion is no longer worth much bc you’re just biased. The person who wrote the guardians review for louis’ album has been hate tweeting Louis for YEARS. As a journalism student there’s nothing that pisses me off more - biased journalism. It truly just boils down to that.

[@Thisis-vc1zp]

@@Dannalasapa Louis has us with him until the end. We will gather more people because Louis is talented. Just patience and positivity, because Louis deserves it and we deserve to watch him make it. I like so many artist Hyde, One ok rock, Lana, Placebo, Linkin park, etc.

[@Dannalasapa]

@@Thisis-vc1zp love placebo and linkin park too and i agree I’m just pointing out that he has a lot of haters and almost all belong to that specific group who even hate on him for saying he believes in making concert tickets affordable(which is just ? 😭😭). Obviously he has more fans than haters but sadly a hater wrote the guardian review which is disheartening to see as someone who likes Louis

@@Dannalasapa Is taking the whole 'I don't like him so you shouldn't either' to another level... maybe some will believe it. But everyone should form their taste.

For me, personally, this album just keeps getting better and better with each listen. There were standout songs to me on the first listen but I only realised how well thought out (musically and lyrically) it was when I gave it some more time. I am so proud of him. Such an underrated artist.

[@user-pm2om4js7w]

I’m just listening to the album a few times in a row and it’s amazing! What a great writer and amazing voice!

[@LiveMusic1st]

I cannot name one favourite, the fact he worked with other artists as opposed to professional song writers has led to a fantastic album.

[@LiveMusic1st]

He worked with Mike crossly who has produced with Youngblood, the wombats, the 1975, the foals and the arctic monkeys. He is getting better people to work with him since he went independent.

[@aphrodite5365]

???? “He may not be cool enough for radio”. What are you even saying. If radio play is based solely on mainstream music, then obviously Louis’ music is not the one who isn’t “cool enough”.

[@ilouislover]

Louis's music is enough for the radios, but he doesn't get all the promotion he deserves (some of it is made by fans), his team is often lazy, and also because he is on the blacklist of radios, cause he left Syco and tries to be honest with the public about the music industry, this is confirmed. But we need to make people see how great Louis is, so stream guys, see any way you can help. (twitter fandom with that is very organized in helping his music)

[@junglegingerrr]

This album completely shocked me, it's so well put together, each song is so unique and assumed... It's so impressive to see how much Louis has grown as an artist. I couldn't be prouder! Great to see that you are better, thank you for this reaction and for the support that you have always shown to Louis!!

I will be 50 in two months time and I’m taking my Louis obsessed daughter since 1D days (I took her to OTRA) to see Mr LT next year in concert - I have to be honest, I’ve always liked him as I admire his songwriting talent but I didn’t know it I would like FITF. It’s an amazing album and has taken me in a ride through the times from 70’s punk, SKa base drops , 80’s back beats and synths to 90’s club & R&B to 1D days listening to my daughter fan girl, to summer days at Pilton (Glastonbury festival for non locals - I’m UK Somerset) listening to Lilly Allen, killers & Cold play with a slice of chemiacal brothers and faithless - All in one ride!!!! Have to admit, I am sooooooo looking forward to seeing him in concert next year after listening to this album. It’s pure class tbh 😊 anyone at Birmingham NEC, I’ll be the old fart getting down, throwing shapes, pogoing with a side order of stop the traffic, let ‘em through 🤣🤣🤣

Best comment ever 🏆

[@33point83]

Totally agree about the range of cool influences! I'm nearly your age too but in the US and I love both Louis's albums and the songs from the new one were INSANE live. I love his focus on the live show and not only on production in his music and I can't wait to see the new tour ... and wherever he goes next!

[@kanikarose4268]

We're the same age. I never really paid attention to 1D, too pop for me, but solo Louis is totally my sound, especially FITF. When I first heard it, I loved every minute of it. I'm a rock/ punk rock kid and I'm so glad younger generation finally got to hear other genre than mainstream non sense music. I know Louis has a long way to go when it comes to radio promo and being recognized, but this album is a masterpiece. In my country, radios don't play Louis' music at all, so I go in different bars on week-ends and ask them to play FITF while I'm there. I got good reactions to it. Maybe there's indeed faith in the future and rock is not dead. Younger generations can have taste in music too if offered the choice.

[@1louisprotector28]

This album is a masterpiece!! Louis deserves his flowers and it makes me so sad, mad and frustrated that he's so underrated and no one takes him seriously because of preconceived notions.

[@susanbrown3715]

Much of which was gaslighting.

[@diana-gw7xf]

sound departure from walls is honestly astonishing. as someone who's been here to hear his first single, all the way to the debut album to this, i'm beyond proud and i so so happy for him finally finding his true self in sound. the growth is beautiful to see. cannot wait to hear all this live, his shows are truly one of a kind !

[@Ana-ko8mn]

Watching Blake's reaction that we were waiting for for so long, seeing how happy he is all the time and remembering mysef when I first listened to FITF...We have spent the last week working our asses off, spending our money and time to get him that No1 album. Now he officially has the No1 album and literally nothing changed. If it was Harry there would be news and articles from every corner. Or any other artist. But Louis.. They keep pretending he doesn't exist, as if it's not his album is on the top of their charts. Radio, magazines, capital fm, bbc radio 1 etc etc. I get blacklisting works well, I get Louis knows his behavior had lead to it. But I can't imagine his heartbreak when his own country doesn't support him. And all these people who know everything, know all the insides and don't play his songs still smile at his face...That's why I'm writing this here, I started questioning myself maybe it's just us overexcited but seeing Blake's reaction to every song, I still think this is easily AOTY. And so it continues, louies supporting Louis, everyone else pretends Louis doesn't exist. Funnily enough even when Faith in The Future is written next to #1 album on their computers

[@MS-tg4yz]

Hi. Tell one artist who has a fan base like Louis? I don't know who the critics Blake spoke about are. To me nothing matters. I'm close upon 60. I discovered Lou a few months ago. He is one person who can bring a smile on my face without any effort. Our Louis is one of a kind. Let Louis and his young and old Louies prevail.

[@sc3942]

I'm probably the oldest Louis fan here and one of the most recent. Thankyou for your words - can you give me a little clue about the 'behaviour'/blacklisting thing? I get that he is honest and outspoken but they're qualities to admire. I hope that his talent is justly rewarded and I love both of his albums.

[@Ana-ko8mn]

@@sc3942 I'm pretty sure to explain it I'd have to write a small essay here😂 you need to look it up by yourself cuz that's a decade lasting story and that's A LOT. In a nutshell, being honest and outspoken are good qualities no doubt, but not in the industry he works. These qualities, his leadership, the way he used to stand up for the boys and for himself behind the stage, him being involved in business part of one direction, absolute denial to participate in pr and playing someone he isn't, difficult relationships with simon hence with all music industry bosses, disgusting public image they forced on him which he publicly admitted to struggle from a few years ago has lead to him being blacklisted from radio and all that. Personally my opinion, the biggest part here has played simon and his obsession and hatred for Louis but ofc I could be wrong or maybe it's a mix of many factors. But the fact that Louis finally has started openly speaking how he can't get radio promo or public support says a lot. So, here we are:)

[@sc3942]

@@Ana-ko8mn Thank you. I have a bit of insight into the music industry through a son-in-law who is a well-known American DJ ... he got bad press for years but bulldozed through it. Very money-driven individual. It's a tough world and lots of sleazy managers, etc. (responsible for the breakup of my daughter's relationship really - putting lots of 'attractions' out there for his amusement). It comes back to how you measure 'success' and I'd say Louis has achieved it in many areas. He has nothing to prove here. I love his music. I hope he can be content with the incredible success that he has achieved at such a young age. I have read and viewed much on Louis, but thought it must have been something I had missed. I understand. x

I always learn so much about the music you're reviewing, I love to watch you react! Louis Tomlinson is my favorite artist right now; I saw him perform in Oakland at the Paramount Theater this year. I tried to stay in the "Pit" but I got too claustrophobic. Since I'm 70 yrs. old and dying (I have stage IV kidney disease; my kidneys are at 18%), the usher got me a seat in the mezzanine level - it was an incredible performance. I do believe this album is a masterpiece. Louis is looking back at all the lessons he's learned and he has faith in a brighter future for everyone. Lord knows, his generation is going to help save the planet! 🐧🌎☮❤

[@emmablodgett5546]

oh yeah definitely, also “moments” and “spaces”- I mean the 1D song literally goes “the spaces between us keep getting deeper, it’s harder to reach ya even though I try, spaces between us hold all our secrets, leaving us speechless and I don’t know why, who’s gonna be the first to say goodbye?”- and then his bridge goes “the second that I see ya the SPACE BETWEEN US just comes flooding back”

[@nishigandhasarma7644]

I can imagine this whole album live so vividly. How amazing it would be to experience that, unfortunately I won't be able to. Like imagine the tension it would create if he holds the last chorus and keeps singing "surrounded by lights" part for a while in She is Beauty. Or if he includes a guitar solo in Written All Over Your Face.

I saw him at the show on June 9th and he was so good that I asked my roommate/ the person I saw him with if he wanted to go see him the next day.

I'm so glad I found you because this reaction video was everything I needed this week. I'm a relatively new fan of Louis, and his music just speaks to me on a level it's hard for me to put into words. I can't wait to see him live. And it's incredible to me how well you saw him even before his documentary came out, because all you said about the type of person and musician he is was confirmed in the documentary. The comfort I have felt so far from his other fans... it really is like a family. And in the doc, someone said that the best fans of 1D came to Louis and I have to say I agree. I also wasn't a directioner but I know enough to gather there was some toxicity, factions and stuff. But every single one of Louie I'm encountered so far has been on another level of humanity. And he is definitely the one that inspires that. Now I'm going to go watch all your reaction videos because THIS is how do reaction videos. Thank you for being so empathetic and respectful of his music.

I listened to Walls as well and it is a completely different feel that's for sure. I have never been in such an amazing fandom.

Yes!!! Finally! This is what I wanted! I've been checking each day to see if Blake uploaded his reaction. I love watching him fanboying over Louis

[@karim_lt28]

Sameeeee

[@jfannon2501]

I love this album!!! It is on repeat in my car, my office at work, my AirPods on a walk. Lucky Again is so great!!! You mention that it has an old school vibe. I couldn’t agree more. I am 50 years old, and it does feel so nostalgic to me.

[@queenmahsa3761]

I was so surprised! That Louis can sing and makes music like this! I'm his fan for almist 8years! His voice is so free, clear, loud and full of energy! My favevorites are Chicago, saturdays,silver tongues......all of them!

[@dariaivaniuk9858]

ngl I've never seen Blake get so excited like he did over Written All Over Your Face 😁

[@patriiciialuna]

Louis, Blake and a cute cat. What else could one ask for 😄🙌😍

[@leahanna2871]

Every song is perfection... Louis let loose. He let us have it... all. This is a masterpiece...

[@a-j-r324]

Seeing Blake's face light up and smile when he's sick makes me so happy :)

[@user-jk5ur9dh5h]

Other poeple: "Hold my beer." Blake: "Hold my cat."

[@carolasmit2387]

I had never listened to Louis before till this album. But thanks to Harry Styles I began following Louis too. And now I'm listening Louis even more than Harry 😉. Love them both and seeing them both live this year. And love your reaction video ❤.

[@sabinekebul297]

Same here, started with Harry's solo work and now I am a huge fan of Louis music, too, and I will see them both live this year, too! Enjoy the music and the shows!!

[@angeliiparson]

Same! Louis has become my number 1 ❤️ His voice helps me in so many ways!

[@saskia9821]

It‘s like: I came for Harry and stayed for Louis🥰❤️

[@anne_malfoy]

This album feels like pure Louis, and I’m so proud of him for finding this peace and joy for himself. I loved your insight into his music, I have listened to these songs so much, yet you surprised me again and agin by noticing stuff (especially concerning drums or the beat in general) that I’ve „skipped over“ before. The whole reaction just felt so genuine and joyful - couldn’t stop smiling myself the whole video ❤

[@fitfttwlg3007]

Blake puts how we feel about the album into fancy producer words thanks Blake

[@aashutosh9285]

THE MOST AWAITED VIDEO ON THE WHOLE OF KZbin. FINALLY OUT. SO PUMPED FOR THIS.

[@mcg6236]

I love the way you describe the relationship between what the lyrics are saying in “Chicago” (a sad story) and what the music expresses (redemption, hope).❤🙌🏽 Thank you for sharing this full experience of the album - I really enjoy your reactions and perspective!

[@shannonfox3351]

I've been hanging out to hear your reaction because I trust your judgement and it is so much better listening to music with someone else. You didn't let me down. This album of Louis is everything I could ever hope for it tooke places I didn't even know I needed to go. It is drawn from so many era's it's almost like my listening history. He's an old soul our Louis it's a brilliant album that will outlast so many others as it's ageless I think. Thank you Blake, job well done . Hope you are better soon.

[@angelsfly6102]

We loved your reaction!!! And the growth between walls and faith in the future is massive 😭😭 we are sooo fuckng proud of our Louis!!!! He deserves the world

[@emilybecca5315]

You should definitely see him on tour! I went to a show on his first tour and I'm going to see him in Toronto next year. His concerts are definitely next level and you can really feel the energy radiating in the room!

[@jodyelmer283]

Thank you Blake! After watching someone else’s reaction…. I was scared others wouldn’t like it as much as I do. This reaction was real and honest.

[@natalieB325]

Louis deserves every success he has achieved & will achieve. I think some unprofessional journalists have been paid off to give a bad review & you cannot convince me otherwise. I believe there's certain old grey haired men in the music industry who he upset because he wasn't easy to manipulate. He was tougher than they were used to. I believe that's why Zayn left early as it was too toxic for him. Some came out less unscathed than the others, but you can see that they were all negatively affected by how they were treated by the industry. Onwards & upwards for all of them. But especially Louis, because his talent is unappreciated by too many. With regards to this album, well I'm a lot older than most fans & I haven't gone a day where I haven't listened to it twice or three times over ❤😊

[@pamela_1218]

You sound like me 💯!!! I agree with literally your entire comment. :). Glad people like Blake are here to respect and appreciate Louis.😊

[@mari-rm5pd]

[@isa3662]

only louis fans will appreciate this but the fact that you have 369k subscribers rn is giving me life

[@anacarolinaotoni3792]

i always expect great reactions from you but the ones in written all over your face it's literally my favourite ever it's SO SO relatable i felt the same

[@toni3762]

Ahh finally!!! I was excited to see you react to this album. I feel like we have all been waiting together for LT2 / Faith in the future for years and it was definitely worth it! Also same WRITTEN ALL OVER YOUR FACE is just my absolute favourite from the first album!! This, THIS sound what I wanted from Louis for years!!!! Even in 1D even though this was not their sound but this is what I always wanted from him!!

[@disneyprincess019]

This whole album is so beautifully done and your reaction is literally perfect!

[@alinaham1710]

Cmon Blake. We all wanna know the theory about Holding on to Heartache

[@marinamoraes7301]

1- Common People 2- Holding on to Heartache 3- The Greatest 4- Angels Fly That's my top 4, I cannot stress enough how much I love These

[@emilybecca5315]

You're definitely one of us Blake - welcome to the fandom!

[@louisea6109]

Yes! Louis is my love. Artistic, musical, as a person. Hardworking! This album is telling us all: This is just the beginning for our Louis

[@Whimsical_Wraith_16]

We're gonna need the Up All Night album next, if it hasn't been covered already. But, seriously, Louis is such an amazing artist. I've been binge-listening to his music lately, and it slaps in all the right ways. He deserves more attention, tbh.

[@sterling4407]

Louis is amazing! This album is amazing!!

[@lav1066]

' WAIT HOLD MY CAT !!' I had to pause to just laugh like crazyyyy. Love it already 😍

[@tins369]

OMG poor Blake 😕 I'm just at the Silver Tongues part. So glad you're feeling better. But funny you said it was your cure, bc I was sick last week and during your reaction video I started feeling better (it was 11 pm in Germany and when you finished almost 2 am) an the next morning I was almost cured 😂 Louis Tomlinson and Blake McLain is the perfect mix. Everything I needed 🖤❤️🤘
