FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Whitesnake "Is This Love"

[@Dano_in_Texas]

1987, actually. One of the biggest rock albums of the 80s. Amazing songs from the first to the last.

[@Athainian1973]

Slide It In was a great cassette. My mother wasn't to impressed I was listening to it, but I loved it.

[@butterflymama0838]

That's the GORGEOUS Tawny Kitaen. She and the lead singer (David Coverdale) were married for 2 years. Unfortunately she passed away in 2021 at the age of 59. I loved Whitesnake. They were a great band and David is one of the most iconic rock singers. Imho 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@rimisark]

@@butterflymama0838 They still are.

[@conan5885]

There will always be a tie between this album and Hysteria for me, but the 2 greatest albums of 87, and of the 80's for sure. 85, 86 and 87 where the absolute pinnacle of the 80's

[@yannisducas7936]

i agreee !!!

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Whitesnake "STILL OF THE NIGHT" and "HERE I GO AGAIN" (original videos). 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 RIP Tawny Kitean.

[@jeffmorrison2147]

Whitesnake Still Of The Night

[@mariebishop7357]

I came here to say this. You beat me to it!

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

🔥🔥🔥

[@KevinAdams-cv9df]

If you want the oomph, Still of the night I believe is their best song

[@pucknuts33]

The woman is Tawny Kitaen. They were married for a couple of years. He has one of the most iconic rock and roll voices of all time. He did some amazing vocals for Deep Purple as well. This song is supposed to give a more sultry love song vibe as opposed to Still of The Night or Cheap and Nasty

[@nunopereira526]

This song is great but it can't be interrupted, because the feeling is growing slowly. And don't stop the solo 🤣

[@RedSkorpioTV]

If you want Whitesnake energy, then listen to "Still of the Night ". Then we talk. Hehhe

[@stege9979]

How about some Deep Purple lead vocals of Burn or Mistreated in 1974.

[@celtasnake]

For some Whitesnake energy, "Take me with you".

[@Robert_Fordin]

Never stop song during the guitar solo. Never ever.

[@michaelmartin4366]

This is one of my favorite love songs of all time. I would not change a thing about the way David Coverdale sings this song, but if you want more umph, then listen to WhiteSnake's In the Still of the Night or Here I Go Again......because they're pretty damn good.

[@aushundansteve]

According to David Coverdale, the lead singer of Whitesnake, the song was written with Tina Turner in mind. Their producer liked the song so much, he suggested Whitesnake record it before pitching the song to Tina Turner. I believe a good choice was made having the band record the song, but can definitely hear Tina Turner singing "Is This Love?". Would have been nice to hear her version of it.

[@seanwoods4883]

90s? Iconic 80s power ballad

[@AnthonyT50]

Every song isn't a toe tapper, shake your booty type. He's being reflective in the song and examining his choices. We've all been there.

[@marvelharris9540]

This was all over MTV back in the day... great times class of 87!

[@wesbaumguardner8829]

Back when MTV actually played music. Those were the gold old days.

[@acripe9875]

Lead singer David Coverdale was married to the woman in the video Tawny Kitaen.

[@dzorba1]

I remember when cable tv started in the 80's and one of first cable tv channels was MTV and all they played 24/7 was music videos and they played this and "Here we go again" by Whitesnake a lot. And same girl was in it.

[@chrisb8655]

You're bringing back memories for me. I was born in 1977, and remember that time period all too well. MTV was so awesome in those days.

[@lilithdemonia74]

"Lackadaisical"?? Girl you out your mind...that man's voice is pure sultry gold...makes my knees weak!!

[@arnoldcox9128]

Coverdale has a fantastic rock voice he's just singing this song very softly

[@Christopher-Baltimore]

I love the sound of this song, and I love the chorus.

[@victorplekter613]

Always great reactions. Whitesnake is mostly a kick-A heavy metal band. Back in the day, they added these songs to their repertoire for airplay and a wider audience. I love the "Atmospheric" sounds of power ballads. But you could try a song like "Burn" to feel the full force of Whitesnake. I'm sure there will be more suggestions for the best versions of heavy Whitesnake.

[@rhondamcbath6279]

7:11 I bundle this group with all of the Big Hairspray Bands! I place them on the scale of these rather boring bands from 1-10, one being the lowest. They are a 4, and I'm giving them a little extra slack 😐...I group this band with the likes of: Cinderella, Ratt, Motley Crue, GNR, Bon Jovi, & Oh Hell, there's just to many to count! There were to many other bands to listen to. These type of bands all sounded alike and a huge waste of time!! There was REAL MUSIC to be heard! AC/DC, John Cougar/Mellencamp. The Cars, Van Halen, Thin Lizzy, Ozzy Osborne, Peter Frampton, Boston, Ted Nugent, also to many to count!! I'll set this amazing band in this group, because they stood far apart from the Big Hair Bands, and I'll be more than happy to have Def Leppard on my side...LOL 😂 WAIT!! I almost forgot! How I skipped this incredible popular singer Bryan Adams.

[@williammunson5832]

One of the "Hair Band" rock groups from the 80's. Great times, with great music!

[@BrittDanny]

One of my favs! ❤

[@back2the80sradio]

One of their best albums from '87.

[@ydqpljn]

Julie Ellen "Tawny" Kitaen Born: August 5, 1961, San Diego, CA Died: May 7, 2021 (age 59 years), Newport Beach, CA. and David Coverdale (m. 1989-1991)

[@MistyMorningMangoes]

“Here I Go Again” is their best song in my opinion! It’s an iconic 80s song. It’s one of my faves for sure ❤

[@kennyspires9024]

I just wanna drive down a lonely dark highway and listen to this. Man I miss this era.

[@quinjesuis9187]

Beyond Beautiful 🔥

[@UncleRandy73]

80’s and I always felt like he was almost mimicking Robert Plant from Zeppelin

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by David Coverdale and John Sykes. Released in 1987. Great 🙏 guitar ballad. Suggested ballad video 📹 Whitesnake performs The Deeper the Love 💘 RIP Tawny Kitean. She was in WKRP in Cincinnati 2, many music videos.

[@iamweigelt]

Eveyone's saying Still Of The Night but Here I Go Again is the 80s rock anthem and the music video ALL the boys waited for MTV to play.

[@hectified]

Agreed. I always thought that Still of the Night was mid.

[@wadehephner]

check out "In the still of the night"!!

[@rimisark]

The sexiest voice of 20th century :P

[@erickenneycreative]

Should do Still of the Night .. their best song hands down.

[@celtasnake]

Not even in their top ten.

[@erickenneycreative]

@@celtasnake okey-dokey

[@RobPresq1717]

Receiving a notification that BrittReacts has posted a new reaction is a silver lining to my usually dreadful day. But actually getting home and watching her reaction is always pure gold. I liked Whitesnake but not overly that much; but back then once one "rock band" found success with a rock ballad then almost every rock band tried it as well whether they really wanted to or not. It just made sense to try and a lot succeeded as well.

[@rancosteel]

The lead singer and the woman model actress Tawny Kitean were married during this video. She was big time in the rock word with musicians for her beauty. She died a few years ago. RIP Tawny Kitean.

[@rogerdaly6326]

Britt , first off THANK YOU for doing the studio album version of this song. It has one of my favorite guitar solos in it. John Sykes smooth , creamey Les Paul neck pickup tone is gorgeous. This ballad is a little more laid back than most cause it was originally written for Tina Turner to sing. She turned it down. Think of her song We Don't Need Another Hero.

[@jamesray9009]

Britt will never know how hard it was to make a mixtape back in the day trying to catch a song in rotation and not have the dj talking over the first 10 seconds .. as you are trying to record off the radio shack single speaker deck to your Aiwa tape recording deck hahahaha

[@kevinmarshall854]

A huge song at that time. My first wife when I told her that this is the song of my life up until then.

[@debramoore7513]

Love Whitesnake!! Tawny Kitaen was one of the most beautiful women in the world!! Gorgeous hair! Tawny was born in San Diego 🏖️ and died in Newport Beach of heart disease! 😢 It was rumored that she had an affair with O.J. Simpson. Anyway, my favorite Whitesnake song is HERE I GO AGAIN and it’s pretty saucy & sexy! 🌻

[@dannydupree9514]

One my favorite song fell in love with my wife grew up with this music❤😅😂🎉

[@larrypatterson7290]

can never go wrong with some WS

[@brankoprosic5852]

David Coverdale's voice is one of the most interesting colors, warmth and character.

[@marningritaguy]

Tawny was so beautiful! RIP

[@ralphgomez6251]

This music genre is called "Power Love "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Ilikeryche]

1987.

[@bobbyjohnson6240]

Late 80s beautiful ❤

[@tcbstrait]

RIP Tawny Kitean - she was also in The Bachelor with Tom Hanks - Like everyone else, check out Still Of The Night and Here I Go Again - Whitesnake and these videos were epic for that genre in the 80s.

[@c.s.m.k5737]

Loved growing up in this musical era

[@matthewdooley7855]

The first sighting of Tawny Kitaen in "Here I Go Again" flipped a bunch of boys into manhood. 🤣 12% too cool. Also, them shoulderpads.

[@kallsop2]

Yes and we all agreed she could dance on our cars. 😂

[@jackbrooks5487]

If you react to Here We Go Again by Whitesnake, you should follow it up with 1985 by Bowling for Soup. It's a bit of a parody. Unfortunately, Whitesnake went through a lot of changesin their lineup over the years with lead singer David Coverdale being the only constant. There wasn't enough room in the band for so many giant egos with Coverdale's being the largest. Coverdale also recorded an album with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. Titled Coverdale-Page, it is a decent album, but not up to Led Zeppelin standards.

[@bimini1216]

Hecwas an amazing singer. And he had steve via the greatest guitarist in anerica

[@garyofnyc]

Its a ballad, a mood...take it as it is.

[@Globalmanful]

R&B??? It’s pure rock band, try to find and listen „Crying in the Rain” live version with Tommy Aldridge drum solo, you’ll see!

[@rebeccaanderson8305]

Another band I saw live back in the late 80’s or early 90’s.

[@byerenny]

Saw em way back when. His vocals were more like a bit air raid-ish. Pretty cool to hear live, but now time has taken its toll on him as it does most singers. Thank God for recordings. He was in Deep Purple for a bit as well. David's been active since before the 80s.

[@nitro_001newman2]

This album has so many good to great songs. I remember it being 5X Platinum, probably more now. Besides the hits I like “Bad Boys”, “Children of the Night”, and “Crying in the Rain” a lot.

[@MichaelJohnson-kx3ln]

No darlin, 1980s. An awesome decade. Better than today.

[@LRangepro]

Love your reactions and YOU are pure fire! Wow, you are beautiful.

[@leonbrowder5980]

I always felt this was a quiet conversation in his consciousness

[@johneldridge8678]

Excellent reaction!!! Again. "Still of the Night" by Whitesnake is a must.

[@robklinky6474]

The mandatory ballad on the album. For something a bit "spicier" try Slo' and Easy, Here I go again, or Still of the Night.

[@KenBlair-jp5nz]

Nearly all the great rock singers who came into the late 60s and 70s all listened to soul and blues from the late 50s and 60s .Steve Perry favourite singer who he styled himself after was Sam Cooke .

[@chrismorey6592]

This song was the mandatory ballad required by Geffen Records at the time... the formula was 2 rockers, followed by a ballad... this brought women to the shows more readily... Poison, Bon Jovi and Def Leppard were exceptions to this rule.

[@scoop-pm7lk]

correction the Lead singer David Coverdal '' solo ? " did Last note of freedom odd since the Same band members were playing haa!

[@kallsop2]

You want more mid 80's? This was 1987 right in the middle of the power ballad era that included Lita Ford/Ozzy Osborne Close My Eyes Forever, Def Leppard Love Bites, Great White Save Your Love. For a rocker listen to Here I Go Again from Whitesnake.

[@kevinmarshall854]

listen to their other songs that they have had. "Still of the night" or "here I go again" , "here Imp go again" "Give me all your love ", "looking for love" and many more great songs!!!

[@robbielux8353]

From 1987. They were actually asked to write a song for Tina Turner from her producer and this is what they wrote. When they presented this to him he loved it but suggested they should just do it themselves. But I definitely could here Tina doing a version though

[@glenketchum6379]

Great reaction AS usual, Love YA!

[@brittreacts]

You're the best!

[@christinasmith8075]

My favourite Whitesnake song is Slow an Easy.

[@paulmellette8925]

In the mid to late '80's it seemed that every heavy metal or hard rock band came out with at least one "power ballad".

[@SEANBANOG4]

Oh Man....the women of the 80s were amazing!!!

[@SEANBANOG4]

Here I go again is a little more your Tempo Britt

[@jamesray9009]

This is the music I was listening too in high school .. man it was awesome back then driving muscle cars .. Cinderella is another hairband that got me in trouble in school :) .. open campus lunch could go to MCD and get .99 big macs .. even had a pull knob smoke machine within walking distance .. :)

[@brittreacts]

Couldn't agree more!

[@sp7772]

Great White "House of Broken Love".

[@scoop-pm7lk]

they did the theme song for the movie days of thunder songs called Last note of freedom

[@Murvelhund]

Loved that you called out the toxic aspect👍

[@davidnorth-martino]

This is definitely an R&B-inspired power ballad. I would suggest continuing with their Whitesnake album, also known as 1987. That's the one that made them popular in the States. Try Still of the Night, Here I Go Again '87, Give Me All Your Love, and Crying in the Rain '87. Then go to Love Ain't No Stranger and Slow an' Easy off of Slide It In. Then Fool for Your Loving '89, and Now You're Gone from Slip of the Tongue. I think The Deeper the Love may be too mellow for you. Then listen to all three albums in full! That's a good start!

[@guillermomartinez2339]

High school year song...I was a freshman 87

[@mikewilder8838]

Coverdale originally wrote this for Tina Turner to sing, but Geffen said Whitesnake had to record it.

[@dcanup71]

Slow rock love ballad 🎸 🤘🔥

[@Millerfivestar]

Here I Go Again, is my favorite.

[@mikeydonnie]

My personal favorite is "The Deeper the Love" I especially love the acoustic version. But, that's just me

[@lorigirard7239]

Still of the night/ Here I go again/ love ain't no stranger

[@treada1583]

great song......

[@charliejg]

As many have mentioned, Still of the Night is a fantastic tune. I also love Slide It In. Both are more rockers.

[@JT-KSOL79]

@brittreacts Good morning beautiful Britt bring hugs and 🍫 kisses with love🫂 my online friend❤️‍🔥🌹 I read about four days now that lead singer David Coverdale Whitesnake has an illness suffered from a sinus and trachea infection that caused him to miss some of the band's European and North American tour dates since 2022. But I believe the news are going in was talking of another band member as well because illness they described Robbs motor function you know what you want to do just has a hard time communicating to the muscle. I love you, Britt. God bless you and your family always

[@SIR-DanielHunter]

This song made her super famous

[@stevetrevino9421]

she was the love interest in early tom hanks comedy BACHELOR PARTY and become lead singer's wife years later. song is from late mid 80s.

[@byerenny]

Yes, and I WISH some reaction channel would do Bachelor Party! Another she was in was, Witchboard, if interested, Britt.

[@chriscarroll8511]

LOL! This is absolutely the slowest tempo song of Whitesnake. "Still of the Night" , "Love Ain't No Strange" and "Crying in the Rain" are more rocking.

[@karenregnier5050]

Still of the Night is your RED PEPPER FLAKES!❤

[@jamieoconnor1916]

Good woman Britt I love your content and this savage song 😊🎵 💕

I still listen to Slide It In album Slow n Easy too good. Great band still rocking stages

Rock on!

You gotta check out In The Still Of The Night…You won’t regret it! David Coverdale (singer) has the softest hands ever! lol…Enjoy! ✌🏻🇨🇦✌🏻

[@nachoriqon]

80's this was the soundtrack of that decade

[@318greenman]

There's a thin line between toxic and passionate... Definitely this video when it came out was about romantic sexual passion...not everything in life can be controlled nor should it 💜

[@Jamie-lw5sy]

I sang this song to Britt one night. When I asked her if it was love she said definitely not. 😒😬

[@RocketJock88]

Classic '80s slow dance, power ballad. I certain that more than a few big-haired, acid jean wearing young women were impregnated with this song playing in the background back in the day. Just say'n....

[@lisaheathcock7924]

Dreary…. That hurt my feelz… he is pure SMEXY-ness 😎🤘🔥🥰💜

[@Tarlkov]

This was off their self titled album in 1987. The whole album was great. Their older stuff is good, though maybe a bit provocative in its lyrics for you, Britt. (Maybe) haha

[@rickymartin4682]

Love Your you tube keep up the great work

[@brittreacts]

Thanks, will do!

[@hackapump]

It is said that David Coverdale and John Sykes wrote this song with Tina Turner in mind, and only kept it for themselves after she turned it down. It's not typical of Whitesnake though. David is a blues singer at heart, and Whitesnake was one of the finest blues rock bands when they took a left turn with this album, to try to break into the American market. And boy did they ever succeed... You should give them a second chance though - David is one of the great rock singers of all time.

[@scottreasons982]

Check out their song Still of the Night

[@TubeMySwag]

1987

[@chaoticneutral3487]

Year is 1987. Singer David Coverdale has a great voice! This is not a song that really showcases his vocal range. Tawny Kitaen was 🔥back in the day (R.I.P.)
