SuperFruit First Time Watching Rise (Katy Perry Cover) BRITISH REACTION

[@firefighterchick]

This was released a month after Katy Perry released the song. This was in tribute to the LGBTQ community after the Pulse Club Shooting, in Florida. It was a gay club and targeted because of that. It's very good and the message speaks to all of us at one point or another in our lives. Brilliant talent! Kudos to Kerry Perry to share the spotlight with this song.

[@tundiel]

Also, have to put another vote in for Scott and Mario's 'Lost on You'. You reacted to the original by LP, and you were a bit iffy about it, BUT Scott in his genius mode mashed it with the theme from 'Inception', and got his buddy Mario to sing with him. Bloody brilliant. Oh! And it's been awhile since I pestered for Guy EXE. It's a scream. Not sure how you'll take it, but MAN it'll be fun to watch 😅

[@Gwennedd]

I'll second both of those choices! I'm amazed that haven't already reacted to them.

[@becca2383]

Yes to both!

[@louisadway1856]

Omg they're both absolutely fantastic.

[@jenniferarted3652]

I've watched it a thousand times and it still gives me the chills.

[@sealaryn]

I recommend you read the description to this. Scott and Mitch asked their friends in the lgbtqia+ community to perform this and wrote a message in reply to the Pulse nightclub shooting

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

Definitely. It puts the whole thing and context and adds another layer

[@sealaryn]

@@lesaahrenstein6360 too true!

[@Kari5274]

They are incredible. And to the survivors this makes it their anthem. ❤ I remember this. It's not too far from here.

[@trishmartinez-cox4070]

Another side note is that Mario Jose was a tour manager for Pentatonix in the early days. He got some vocal coaching from them and they surprised him by having him open for them in Boston. They flew his family in to see it. This version always makes me cry knowing the back story of why they recorded it.

[@margretrosenberg420]

You know by now that this was a response to the massacre at Pulse in 2016. My husband killed himself in February of 2022, and I first discovered Pentatonix seven months later. Their music has helped me in the grieving process. So when I found out that they were going to be giving a concert near me on November 20th of 2022 I immediately went online and bought tickets for a friend and myself. We weren't in the best seats by any means, but we were going to go and we were going to have fun! And then on November 19th a man with an assault rifle walked into Club Q, a queer nightclub in Colorado Springs (about 70 miles south of my home west of Denver) intending to recreate the horror of the Pulse massacre. This time we got lucky. This time a man saw people he loved being murdered and ran *toward* the danger, and against all odds he managed to disarm and take down the murderer using only his bare hands and his own body weight. Because of him, this time we "only" lost five people. One was the mother of an eleven year old girl. 😪 At least two were shot while trying to protect others - most heros don't live long enough to tell us they aren't really heros, the way the man who took down the shooter did. That was November 19th. The first I heard about the shootings was the next day, sitting in my seat at the concert, checking email on my phone while waiting for Pentatonix to come on stage. It hit me hard. It brought back memories of all the gay friends I've lost over the years, to AIDS, suicide, and simple old age. All old losses, grieved long ago, but all flooding back in on top of my most recent loss as if they'd just happened again. Eventually Mitch and Scott came out to talk about Club Q. Mitch led us in a moment of silence, and then Scott talked about queer nightclubs. About how they're supposed to be safe places where members of the LGBTQ+ community can meet with family, friends, and allies to share good conversation and good fun. And about what it's like when that safe place is suddenly no longer safe. And then Pentatonix pledged a large amount of money to the recovery efforts in Colorado Springs, and the concert began. Yes, it was a good concert, but the pleasure was shadowed by the knowledge of what had just happened at Club Q. We had to leave early to catch the last bus back to where I'd parked, and by the time we got to my car I was chilled through. The car's heater didn't do much to fix this problem, so as soon as I got home I changed into warm pajamas and sat down in my comfy chair with two blankets for "just a few minutes until I get warm." I woke up five hours later because I was still too cold, plus I had a sore neck from sleeping sitting up. So I took some ibuprofen and made a pot of coffee, and as soon as I actually got warm again I discovered a deep need to revisit SuperFruit's cover of "Rise." And this time I heard what I had somehow missed before. This is a powerful anthem of self-affirmation, defying the odds, and hope for the future. It speaks directly to my needs since losing my husband. It gives me courage. The Thursday after the concert was a holiday, my first Thanksgiving without my husband. "Rise" got me through Thanksgiving. And in December it got me through my first Christmas without my husband. And in January it got me through my first birthday without him. And in February it got me through the first anniversary of his death. I have downloaded it for my permanent personal playlist; I anticipate that I'll still be listening to it on my own deathbed some decades from now, and it's one of the reasons I expect to have those remaining decades.

[@sonjarussell7332]

Stay strong. Peace to you.💜

[@jeangoodwin1856]

You are in my prayers. Stay strong ❤

[@debrawalkermeyer9109]

Thank you for sharing I prayed for you today ❤

[@tundiel]

They all have fantastic voices and sound magical together. And yes, Mitch's voice always brings the smiles. 😍

[@becca2383]

Such a great rendition of this and an emotional response to the shooting at Pulse nightclub. So glad you did this one!

[@drogna3905]

This is so beautifully powerful that it always makes me cry.

[@sealaryn]

Also BJC's first audition was Queens find me someone to love. I love BJC so much! And also Mary Lambert worked with Macklemore

[@Kari5274]

Mario was on American Idol

[@neotheboxer]

Hey, looks like you gents reacted to this a year ago as well. A terrific song rendition so I appreciate the revisit anyway

[@elbatejeda5081]

Thank you for reacting to “RISE” I get chills from start to finish. BEAUTIFUL ❤

[@jeangoodwin1856]

That Wall of sound! Impressive!💕

[@tammyree6200]

Mitch is just so special! 🩷🩷 Great version, great reaction!

[@sealaryn]

Another comment Mario did a cover with Scott of... dang it forgot... LP song... set to Zimmerman's inception track

[@tundiel]

Lost on You. EPIC. I've been pestering on and off about that one for a long time. Scott did an absolute beast of an arrangement for that. You wouldn't think it was two completely different tracks meshed together. They were made to be mashed up. 😍

[@becca2383]

Lost on You and I agree! So good!

[@lauraa4294]

The song is called "Lost on You". Great song by LP and a great cove by Scott and Mario.

[@goldfishwatching1619]

Lost on You... will blow your mind! Scott heard Inception and worked LP's song over it changing tempo etc. Genius.

[@sealaryn]

@@tundiel absolutely agree!

[@chrispavlich9656]

Wow. You guys are cranking out the good content today! Thanks.

[@BritPopsReact]

@chrispavlich9656 Thank you for the lovely comment and great to hear you have been enjoying the content. Come back soon too

[@taniareads8751]

Love this cover. Love it.

[@katmit69]

This is just too much talent for one video, it's awesome!! You guys should also react to Scott and Mario doing "Lost On You" the Hans Zimmer track...its incredible!!! ❤

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

Another great reaction. Superfruit never disappoints. For something lighthearted and humorous the other thing they did on their channel was a 15-minute show where they can be doing anything. The beginning of wicked is part of how their show goes. I highly recommend "try not to laugh challenge.' This is a link to Mario and Scott performing lost on you. It's L.P. lyrics on a Hans Zimmer track. The track is from deception. It is well worth your time and you will not be disappointed

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

I live seeing first reactions to this song. It is absolutely stunning, with obviously emotional backing. This version is a fight song. As for you two: you speak words, so I would say spoken word artists with perspective.

[@BritPopsReact]

@JohnPaul-hm2ys Cheers for the comment John and thanks for taking it easy on us two. We just about get away with the spoken word artists with perspective. All the best

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

@BritPopsReact I really enjoy you both, and of course, Mrs BP2.

[@maryhampton8686]

Goosebumps every time I listen to this song.

[@risperdude]

This has been my number 1 performance. Period. Of any song, by any artist.

[@jamiem4941]

Thank you so much, I really enjoy the commentary! The thing about great music is that I think it’s timeless. I’ve enjoyed Elvis’ Houndog all the way up to Dan Vasc’s Amazing Grace. I will be in touch again, maybe you’ll need a coffee refill ?

[@BritPopsReact]

@jamiemitchell4941 Hi Jamie and thanks for the lovely comment and for the great coffee moments. We have another Dan Vasc coming very soon, courtesy of another lovely donator, so sit back and enjoy that one. When you have something you want to share with us, we will be more than happy to oblige. All the very best to you and have a great day. BPR

[@lauraa4294]

This one was very powerful the way they did it. Great reaction.

[@pjb3583]

I thought you had already done this one, and lo and behold, you have. You’ve become more critical, though. The first time around, you rated them at 9.6. (Yes, I went back and watched it. It’s a quiet Sunday evening here.) And I will rewatch it with you as often as you want. The passion, conviction and determination from all of them shines through. As always, I enjoyed (both of) your reviews. Peace …

[@annmoomau881]

It's been some time since I found a more current post from you guys. Always enjoy

[@BritPopsReact]

@annmoomau881 Hello and thanks for watching and for the comment. We do post videos everyday, but it may take us a like time to get back around to PTX and SuperFruit as we have so much going one. Thanks for checking out the video and we hope you come back soon. All the best BPR

[@katiemcteague]

How do people sing like that? What gifts they each have.

[@shelbychesnut99]

Mario Jose and Scott Hoying did a cover of "Lost on You" in which Scott arranged the lyrics with a melody from Hans Zimmer. It is breathtaking.

[@sealaryn]

Yay! Happy you're reacting to this!

[@lynnsoeth5301]

I'm not sure how many times I've watched this but the reaction is the same, head to toe goosebumps! ❤

[@marablemorgan8292]

One of the best!

[@donnone7295]

You guys must have enjoyed "Rise" with Superfruit, Brian, Mario and Mary. Did you know or remember doing your reaction to the song? It was posted on KZbin back on Feb 21, 2022. Compare both reaction videos.

[@ruth2141]

Unless you were living under a rock in 2012, you've probably heard Mary Lambert before. She did the women's part on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis's song "Same Love".

[@michaelf8702]

🙄 easy. Not everyone remembers that stuff. I remember folks talking about her when that song came out in 2012. Didn't really hear anything about her after that. So 10 years later, I didn't put together that they were one in the same until I saw it in a comment on another reaction.

[@Kari5274]

I had never heard of her before this song a couple of years ago. I don't listen to the radio. I'm a cd person. Yep, old school. I had heard the put your hands up one. Forget what it's called.

[@dominicsmalley9394]

They already reacted to this video xD but now I'm going to compare there reactions and see if anything has changed

[@juliewade1393]

Love this!!

[@kristipierce4735]

Chills every time with this song. I have recently read a book by one of the Pulse Club survivors and this song now hits all the harder. Yes, Mitch 🔥👏🏻🤯 and all of them. I disagree with you because I always think they are 11+ on the scoreboard.

[@elinchristensen4854]

I highly recommend you listen to Scott & Mario's version of Lost on you by the artist LP - you could also do her original version as well ❤ you'll bd gobsmacked by both 😮

[@bethphillips9693]

I'm confused - didn't you react to this a year ago?

[@marablemorgan8292]

Hope you're ready for this!?!!

[@marablemorgan8292]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@iancaton6411]

You already reacted to this a year ago.

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

❤️🔥❤️🙌❤️🔥❤️

[@marablemorgan8292]

hehehe...

[@naurijihan8016]

Please react cakra khan in American got talenta 23

[@Harshiahaha]

Hello, I am one of your Indian subscribers. Can you react to the song 'Agar tum saath ho' sang by Alka Yagnik and Arijit Singh please? That's such a beautifully heart breaking song. Thank you :))

[@thorrommel1155]

Nope...I'll Pass
