To continue your jouney through mexican music go with Pedro Infante next, with the song ""Deja que Salga la Luna" (let the moon come out). Pedro Infante was an actor from the golden age of movies around 1950. He's known as the people's idol up to these days.

[@mayuzz]

He is known here as "The Prince of Song" The incredible thing is that this was a contest and José José came in third place. The public demanded that they give him first place but it did not happen. The author of the song, Roberto Cantoral, wrote that song dedicated to his mother, while he traveled to attend his funeral and José José interpreted it wonderfully, you can feel the pain in his voice. It's funny that you mention Frank Sinatra because José José is considered his equal here, it is said that at some point Sinatra mentioned that he wanted to record something with José José but it was not possible, although it is known that Sinatra gave him some advice. Unfortunately José José passed away in 2019. Thanks for reacting to mexican music, it's not because it's my country but we really have many artists who stood out incredibly!

[@GOTGames]

So far May everything I have listened to from Mexico has truly been amazing! A country really full of talent! I can definitely see why José José is considered equal with Sinatra, they both have incredible talent!

that performance its from a contest he surprised everyone with this performance he became a legend afterwards

[@jap1260]

During the video you can see the camera focus on Angelica María looking at José José and then on Marco Antonio Muñiz, both famous signers. Marco Antonio is with his mouth half open like saying “I can’t believe what I am hearing!” This video was about a contest for the best song. “El Triste” written by Roberto Cantoral got 2nd place. It was not a contest about singers. Otherwise, I am sure the first place would have been José José. This contest made José José famous. The rest is history. José José died on September 28, 2019. If I have regrets in my life is that I never saw a performance from José José or Juan Gabriel (he also passed away). I’ve been living in the States for more than 30 years, and never got the money or time to see them live. Like you, I envy the people that had that luck (we call it the good envy). I’ve been told that people actually cried during Juan Gabriel performances.

[@miranduri]

He is a monster. No one could sing like José José. He will live forever in our hearts.

[@lopez_el]

Sinatra admired him as well as Pedro Infante

[@laylavonmav2587]

The subtitles were really off. Here are the lyrics with translation How sad it was to say goodbye Qué triste fue decirnos adiós when we loved each other most Cuando nos adorábamos más Even the swallow emigrated Hasta la golondrina emigró foreshadowing the end Presagiando el final How sad everything looks without you Qué triste luce todo sin ti The seas of the beaches leave Los mares de las playas se van Colors are dyed gray Se tiñen los colores de gris Today everything is loneliness Hoy todo es soledad I don't know if I'll see you again later No sé si vuelva a verte después I don't know what of my life will be No sé qué de mi vida será Without the blue star of your being Sin el lucero azul de tu ser That doesn't light me up anymore Que no me alumbra ya Today I want to taste my pain Hoy quiero saborear mi dolor I do not ask for compassion or pity No pido compasión ni piedad The history of this love was written La historia de este amor se escribió For eternity Para la eternidad How sad everyone says I am Qué triste todos dicen que soy That I'm always talking about you Que siempre estoy hablando de ti They don't know that thinking of your love No saben que pensando en tu amor In your love En tu amor I have been able to help myself to live He podido ayudarme a vivir I have been able to help myself to live He podido ayudarme a vivir Today I want to taste my pain Hoy quiero saborear mi dolor I do not ask for compassion or pity No pido compasión ni piedad The history of this love was written La historia de este amor se escribió For eternity Para la eternidad How sad everyone says I am Qué triste todos dicen que soy That I'm always talking about you Que siempre estoy hablando de ti They don't know that thinking of your love No saben que pensando en tu amor In your love En tu amor I have been able to help myself to live He podido ayudarme a vivir I have been able to help myself to live He podido ayudarme a vivir I have been able to help myself to live He podido ayudarme a vivir Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Roberto Cantoral Garcia

[@senaze1981]

“Savoring the pain has helped me live“ could also be another translation

[@CarlosRojasOficial]

José José was 22 in this performance; the most iconic in Mexican music history. He was the ultimate romantic voice in all Latin America. He was Sinatra fan and in those early years he was inspired by Barbra Streisand's vocals and style. “The Prince of Song” had an amazing and successful career but addictions issues too that lead to the loss of his voice. His last years were surrounded with familiar controversy, his dead was so sad. Thank you for recovering this legend!

[@oscaranguiano2894]

Sinatra was his fan

[@linagil4295]

Por desgracias Juan Gabriel y José José ya no están en este mundo, pero su legado vivirá por siempre en la historia musical de México. Te recomiendo a Luis Miguel con la Bikina. Saludos desde México.

[@gildardolopez8637]

He made that performance so that it would be unrepeatable even for him.. that’s why he called the prince of the song…

[@KaulitzloverOo]

I found your channel for your BTS reactions and as a Mexican ARMY this video was such a nice surprise. Juan Gabriel is my favorite Mexican singer but Jose Jose is a pretty close second, his voice is like honey to the ears and this performance is legendary, everyone in Mexico know about it.

[@TheKodiak17]

[@GOTGames]

Thank you my friend! More to come!

[@countvladdracule]

Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete are two old school singers that are just pure beauty to listen to

[@madelaine6]

Sinatra loved him. Sadly, they didn't get to contribute. This man was a legend

[@laylavonmav2587]

“En Vivo” is not part of the title, it indicates that he’s is singing it “live” it is a real-time singing, live feed, no lip syncing, no electronic voice enhancements, just his voice, the microphone, and the orchestra. You might also see it as “en vivo y en directo ” Lola Beltrán is another singer with a powerhouse of a voice. She used to sing with the microphone half a meter away from her face. The Mexican Golden Age of music was from the 40’s thru the 70’s it was was indeed golden.

[@rolandobacamartinez5391]

That was for a song contest in 1971. You won't believe it but Jose Jose just won a 3th place. 50 years after, nobody remembers who won the first place but that night Jose Jose became a legend. He died few years ago and at the end of his life, he almost lost his voice. From Mexico, please react to ZOE "Nunca" (MTV Unplugged)

[@vincefgv]

He was such a troubled man. He was a big alcoholic but he's still our mexican treasure.

[@davex895]

it feels so good when foreign people enjoy mexican music as much as you do, love your reactions man. I think your next reaction has to be Pedro Infante singing "El jacalito" or "Cien años".... and another amazing voices are Luis Miguel, Amanda Miguel, Alejandro Fernandez and Marco Antonio Solis

[@enok7008]

I definitely agree with the commenter. If Vicente Fernandez is our king, then Jose Jose is our prince. Sadly, he did lose his voice later on in life. He died in 2019. Mexico has a lot of beautiful voices with beautiful songs sung by powerful voices. Thanks for the reaction!

[@lul4945]

[@musiconlyplease98]

my humble opinion.... a one of a kind historical performance... already 50 years

[@Carmen-gq9md]

José José una de las voces más bonitas que hemos tenido en México.

[@TheRatedOniChannel]

I love that song and the message in it, saying that it is okay to feel sad due to someone leaving or dying, it is okay to mourn them, just absolutely amazing arrangement and José José's voice was without equal, just bloody amazing. Also, the people looking in awe at his performance, those are also legendary singers on their own, like Marco Antonio Muñíz and Alberto Vazquez, incredible singers and entertainers, but even they just were mesmerized by that voice. One more thing, remember Trace Adkins' song, You're Gonna Miss This? Well, I have a recommendation for you, check Kenny Chesney's song, There Goes my Life, you being a father of young children you need to check it and yeah, you'll probably gonna cry with the video and the lyrics, but check it out.

[@GOTGames]

Thank you for the recommendation my friend! Would happily check that one out! I didn't realise the other people were singers too! That's amazing.

[@TheRatedOniChannel]

@@GOTGames Yeah, is because the OTI, the competition, is not about the singer, is about the song writer, that's why many producers and singers from latinamerica were present. You wanna know something else? El Triste didn't win, and to this day nobody remembers that another artist Jose Luis Rodriguez 'El Puma', a legend too in South America was the one that won, because apparently the judges preferred that song, nobody agreed with them, but in the end, the song that is remembered to this day is this one, so I guess in the end they won.

[@oscarleon7503]

José José one of the best singers in the world, super star in latinamerica

[@marieharris1230]

His voice is incredible. It sends chills all over my body. One of the most beautiful VOUCES I’ve ever heard. Frank Sinatra said it was his favorite VOUCE. Sadly, he lost his VOUCE later in his life. ( some kind of vocal polyps) He was a very kind, humble man. What a voice!!!!! He passed away about 5? Yrs ago. Watch IL VOLO IN LATIN BILLBOARDS SING THIS , JOSE JOSE WAS IN THE AUDIENCE. ITS ON YU TUBE. YOULL LOVE IT. I listen to to this almost every day. HE WAS CALLED THE PRINCE OF SONG. BELOVED IN MEXICO AND WORLD REKNOWN. MEXICO HAS GIVEN SUCH GREAT DIVINE TALENT TO THIS WORLD.

[@Aviz-]

I highly recommend you listening to Ana Gabriel - Luna (live, with her mariachi outfit)

[@paintwhisperer]

I’m sure someone has suggested this legend already. In Mexico he carries the title of “El Imortal” the immortal because his music transcended genres, race, and embodied everything that is the Mexican culture of the time. Pedro Infante. My ultimate favorite song of his is “Cucurucucu Paloma” buuut if you looking for something impressive that goes beyond your expectations and is a true demonstration of hard work , practice, and talent then check out “El Jacalito” most of what you will find on you tube will be from movie clips just in case it throws you off a bit. Can’t wait to see you react to him soon. Keep up the hustle 🎉 👏🏽

[@gilgomez2012]

Hi, I used to think English people hate México, and Spain as well an so. Then it is quite refreshing for me to see: this honest reaction to one of our most fine and loved interpreter (intérprete) . Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. He had an amazing life but with a huge issue with alcohol that destroyed his voice. This performance was I think his first public show (I mean in mass communication broadcast) so it was his presentation personal card. The woman that you see in the video is Angelica Maria, another singer, but already famous at that time, and other man with the open jaw is Marco Antonio Muñiz, another amazing performer from the begining of the "Trio" Music. and other artist were there in the Festival. This wonderful Mexican song was first sung by another great Argentinian singer, and with a great success in SouthAmerica, but with José José reached its top. Grettings from México

[@bbtiux]

That's for all the beautiful words. He passed away already. Unfortunately! ... And fun fact ... My grandmother was at that concert that day and she said that the goosebumps were that much that everyone was crying .. I always get chills when I tell this story ... ❤❤❤🎉

RIP Jose Jose, viva MEXICO!!!

[@Zelig2Cents]

Tons of thoughts flood my brain re-watching this landmark performance by José José', as well as seeing your appreciation of it! I think I'll address them bullet-point style. • It feels like a crime that someone hasn't gone back and used modern technology to remaster that performance. It's so exquisite, it deserves a quality medium! • It ain't just us peons who admired this performance. At 4:30 into your video there's a quick look at Angélica María in the audience, a world class actress and singer/songwriter. Then 10 seconds later @ 4:40 they catch another world class singer, Marco Antonio Muñiz with his mouth hanging open, "como bobo", stunned by what he's witnessing. • The breath control to sing this song well is insane. That little "hitch" or whatever one calls it, that he inserts mid-phrase, makes breath control that much more difficult. I know. When my friends and I get together for barbecues and some outdoor karaoke, I often sing this song. I'll never be as good as José José, but the challenges this song presents have made me a better singer. My wife always tells me how red my face is when I finish that last note! Ha! She ain't wrong! • I hope I'm not spreading incorrect info, but I heard that at this competition "Festival II de la Canción Latina", that the theme was happiness. Despite the fact that everyone in that audience knew José José had delivered the best performance, he was robbed and got 2nd place because his song was about sadness. To help those reading to have a full appreciation of just how sad, I'll provide a good translation below. • There's an authenticity and realness about Mexican music that makes it fantastically beautiful and grabs me at my soul and when it's performed like this, it's transformative! • Based on your reaction to this performance, there's another one I'd also highly recommend. The group is called "Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan" and is the preeminent band today carrying the mariachi torch. The lead singer and band leader, Arturo Vargas, is the singer in this performance of a song called "El Pastor" or "The Shepherd". There are may versions of them performing this on KZbin, but I'm going to provide you the KZbin channel and the video title to the performance that I think best showcases his voice. His tone is buttery smooth, every note is perfectly in tune, his yodel-like flip from head voice to falsetto is flawless and appears as natural as a smile, and he has the most insane breath control I've ever heard! KZbin Channel: Omar Mora Mariachi Video Title: "El pastor Arturo Vargas Mariachi Vargas En Vivo 2022" Now, as promised, here's my English translation for "El Triste" that José José sang in this concert. I felt compelled to provide a decent translation because the "auto translate" of the Closed Caption feature felt really flat, pedantic and flat-out wrong in many places and this song deserves better. Translating songs and poetry is really challenging. You can't do it literally, because it loses the original meaning and is robbed of poetry. You can't do it strictly as poetry because maybe you impose your own interpretation on the original meaning. You can't do it just for meaning, because it risks losing the poetic feel of the original. It has to have a balance of all 3, literal translation, meaning, and poetry. This is my best effort and it at least will get you closer to the passion José José was singing about. "The Sad One" ("El Triste") How sad it was to say goodbye to each other When we adored each other more... [than ever] Even the swallow migrated... Foreshadowing the end... How sad everything looks without you, The seas have fled away from the beaches Colors have been stained gray Today, all is loneliness. I don't know, if I’ll ever see you again, I don't know what will become of my life Without the blue morning star of your being, That no longer illuminates me CHORUS Today I want to savor my pain... I ask not for compassion nor pity The story of this love was written for all eternity “What a sad one”, everyone says of me That I am always speaking of you They don't know that thinking of your love, of your love I have been able to help myself go on living, I have been able to help myself go on living. CHORUS (Repeats) Today I want to savor my pain... I ask not for compassion nor pity The story of this love was written for all eternity “What a sad one”, everyone says of me That I am always speaking of you They don't know that thinking of your love, of your love I have been able to help myself go on living, I have been able to help myself go on living, I have been able to help myself go on living. And here's the original song in Spanish EL TRISTE Que triste fue decirnos adiós Cuando nos adorábamos más... Hasta la golondrina emigró… Presagiando el final... Que triste luce todo sin ti, Los mares de las playas se van Se tiñen los colores de gris Hoy todo es soledad No sé, si vuelva a verte después, No sé qué de mi vida será Sin el lucero azul de tu ser, Que no me alumbra ya ESTRIBILLO Hoy quiero saborear a mi dolor... Nooo, pido compasión ni piedad La historia de este amor se escribió Para la eternidad Qué triste, todos dicen que soy Que siempre estoy hablando de ti No saben que pensando en tu amor, en tu amor He podido ayudarme a vivir, He podido ayudarme a vivir ESTRIBILLO (Repite) Hoy quiero saborear a mi dolor... Nooo, pido compasión ni piedad La historia de este amor se escribió Para la eternidad Qué triste, todos dicen que soy Que siempre estoy hablando de ti No saben que pensando en tu amor, en tu amor He podido ayudarme a vivir, He podido ayudarme a vivir, He podido ayudarme a vivir,

This was Jose Jose's greatest performance, he himself said that he was never able to recreate this show. Easily one of the greatest live performances...and he got 3rd place in the competition.

[@gabrielajimenez2143]

I love how you react to mexican singers, makes me feel so proud as a mexican....

[@izzydaman2231]

Jose Jose said during an interview that this performance was one in a lifetime and that not even him could have repeat such amazing perfromance, sadly due to alcohol addiction he lost his voice,he passed away September 28. 2019 of pancreatic Cancer at age 71 RIP Jose Jose

[@fernandopriego6969]

Great you give me more reasons to watch you videos Also Jose Jose considered the Mexican Frank Sinatra

[@ivansanchez8458]

Jose Jose is by far the best balad singer in spanish music, if you like him, you should react to him singing AMOR AMOR (1980)in las Vegas, Almohada in Acapulco 1985, Del Altar a la tumba 1970.

Yo vi ese festival por TV. Pero directo. Y nos enojamos que le dieron el 3er lugar. Saludos respetuosos desde México 🇲🇽

[@paulinaglez6462]

Great reaction greetings from 🇲🇽

[@CTM14266]

Why not just listen to the song, El Pastor from it’s original performer, Miguel Aceves Mejía? May I also recommend this same song in the feminine voice of one of the few greatest Mexican women singers left, Aida Cuevas.

[@GOTGames]

Happy to!

[@polypocket75]

Thank you for reacting to our Mexican talent. You’ll have tons of requests to react to great Mexican artists that you’ll end up opening a side channel to react to Mexican music only 😅. Juan Gabriel, Vicente Fernandez and José José are just the tip of the iceberg. Greetings from a Mexican in the 🇺🇸

[@almadeliaramosbriones3330]

Me encantan tus reacciones , súper pasionales ! Jose Jose es ( era ) un maestro de la música 🎶, lo extrañamos !

[@juanmanuelmondragon9893]

Thank you for so honest and impressive reaction! The singer that you havve reacted to, have several very good songs. Some other artists you can react to, are: Luis Miguel, Lila Downs, Ana Gabriel and Zoe.

[@delasmercedes2940]

Oh boy! I watched this live with my mother in 1970, yep! aging myself. He didn’t win but no one remembers who did. Unfortunately, he lost his voice due to the bohemian life he lived; still, he left a large repertoire for us to enjoy still today. Try “Payaso”, “Almohada”, “La nave del olvido” for now. BTW, the man watching with his mouth open was at the time the top Mexican singer LOL.

José José un grande, llegando casi al borde de lo inhumano, un gran cantante. ❤

[@MarioGCX]

As a Mexican who loves your videos I feel really proud because you listened to this song. We have great things and not so good things but this feels good. I know my compatriots are going to recommend you great songs and I hope you can visit us some day ( I also would love to visit London and have that ice cream with you). I would like to recommend to you bizarrap videos, he is Argentinian but he is one of the most recent talents in Latin American music, everyone reacts to his videos when he releases a new one. He basically is a music producer who works with a latin American singer at the time creating master pieces. If you want to start the journey I recommend the video of Bizarrap ft. Snow tha product, she is a Mexican who lives in US and sing in English and Spanish. I believe you will like it. Thanks again.

You lovely human, make sure you go follow Skid on Twitch for the music reactions! I'll still be live Tues, Sat and Sun. Just wanted to let you know! Feel free to message on insta too! Much love!!

[@karlakristine6616]

@@GOTGames I’ll be tuning in and checking out whatever you’re up too! You know me, I’m always up for a new journey! #wafflegang❤️

I don't know if anyone has told you this before, but you mentioned Frank Sinatra and it reminded me of something. It turns out that José José was always a fan of Frank Sinatra. After his great success following this performance, he became very well-known internationally. Frank happened to hear one of his records by mistake, but was so impressed with his voice that he decided to invite him to record with him. Unfortunately, this didn't happen because the record label that José José was with at the time denied it due to "exclusive rights" (RCA Victor, I'll hate you forever). However, Frank went to see him several times at the shows he had in the United States.

[@EggChen6DemonBag]

My brother is a Mariachi Singer here in Michigan. But a singer you should check out is Pepe Aguilar. Him and my brother look and sound alike. Its amazing really how it works out like that lol.

[@violetanieto2120]

Sin duda Juan Gabriel y José José fueron 2 grandes interpretes Mexicanos, que desafortunadamente ya trascendieron. Te recomiendo que reacciones a dos cantantes extraordinarias también Mexicanas una es Lila Downs con la canción "La llorona" en el Auditorio Nacional y otra es la cantante Dulce con la canción "Déjame volver Contigo" (VIVO) del año 2013, en verdad son excelentes cantantes.

[@susanaleilani2059]

El mejor ❤Jose Jose QPD❤

[@charlieboy7319]

Vicente Fernandez was the Mexican Elvis Presley, José José was the Mexican Frank Sinatra. If you’re interested in the Mexican Michael Jackson, then you need to listen to Luis Miguel’s La Bikina. You’re not going to regret it.

[@DylucahPreciado]

Luke, did you ever think you would have fans all the way across the world in your wildest dreams? About this video though... That made me cry so much. Makes me miss my Mexican inlaws.

[@gohanmoreno7]

One of the best musical presentations in mexican hsitory, hands down!
