Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@kalyanadhi782]

The album is fantastic, her NPR tiny desk concert is a joy, she's unique with her voice, songwriting, performance and fabulous aesthetic

[@sebrinalilje8057]

Yes! Album first, it's a fantastic piece of art as a whole. But the vocals and arrangement of the Tiny Desk concert are a Femininomenon.

[@locogirlz]

Drag is all about creating a character for performing; anyone can be a drag queen on king regardless of gender! As a general rule of thumb drag queens typically create more fem characters and drag kings create more masc characters though it all comes down to how the performer identifies at the end of the day. Chappell has talked about her stage persona as a drag queen and it helps her create a distinction between her stage persona and herself outside of drag similar to Hannah Montana haha. Thanks for taking the time to give your reaction to her performance! :)

[@sese8976]

yeah thats why lady gaga is also a drag queen as is chappel

[@izzyhibby333]

Oh my gosh, PLEASE react to her album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. She's soo incredibly talented and very much a 2020s version of Cher meets Lady Gaga. And as much as we compare to others like I just did, she's so unique. If you are looking for a more emo song of hers I highly recommend California. It's my current fave depression song 😅 As far as the drag, she has said in interviews that she really doesn't like all the stuff that comes with fame/celebrity and that having a drag persona on stage helps her stay grounded and separate when she's just herself.

[@DenaDenaDena73]

The album is so good. There’s some bangers, humour, beautiful vocals. it’s absolutely worth a reaction. Casual and My Kink is Karma are my favs

[@momzillainnova]

SAME!!! Best songs on the album IMO!

[@sebrinalilje8057]

My favorites currently are Picture You and Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl.

[@sabrinajones-vh6fz]

I LOVE how you clocked her being an “artists artist” so to speak. It’s funny because she’s infamous for opening a song at a festival by saying she’s your favorite artists favorite artist. As for your questions about drag - drag is gender performance, it can be drag even when a woman performs femininity. In her early days, chappell was getting ready to perform at a small venue and a drag queen told her that she was doing drag and she embraced it from there. Anyways I’m looking forward to more of your reactions of her music. I think you would like My Kink is Karma

[@emmavink]

Finally! Interested to hear what you think. I've been blasting her music for 2 months now at least 😊

[@sarahbirkmeier6531]

her voice is a thing of beauty

[@JasonMueller-u3p]

Check out her Tiny Desk performance

[@booluther]

Her album is so good!

[@jsesteves]

Its not like an artist artist, she is your favorite artist's favorite artist! Welcome to the pink pony club!

[@Hortonfantastic4]

Do the album. I had heard about her for a few months but didn’t stop and listen until news of Lollapalooza happened. But my god. The girl is good. My first full listen to her album I added 7 songs to my library. Crazy for a debut. Edited: Please. (My opening sentence sounds rude when I reread it sorry about that)

[@tracytube]

i love chappell, she’s so creative and her voice is fantastic. her whole album (the rise and fall of a midwest princess) is terrific but if you’re only checking out a few songs i recommend casual, california, and maybe red wine supernova 🍷

[@SightsofWoe]

I just listened to her for the first time on Sunday. I am smitten. It's like Dolly Parton and Cyndi Lauper had a baby or something. B52s. I don't know, but I love it. NPR Tiny Desk concert is amazing. I think my favorites from the album are Pink Pony Club, I Picture You, My Kink is Karma and Casual. The album is great.

[@user-gp9es3rd3e]

Chappell's album is fun! Pretty good effort for a debut, and a handful of genuinely top-tier tracks (Sabrina Carpenter also did a cover of this song which I did also enjoy) It's also been a decade (since Lady Gaga tbh) since we've had this kind of concept mainstream pop act

[@ChristaLivingstone]

Love the reaction. I have been obsessed with her album. She has some great videos as well.

[@franki1993]

I can’t wait to see you explore her catalogue more ❤❤

[@stormborn23]

I am highly interested in seeing you experience the album AND her tiny desk performance. I bet you'd at least enjoy a couple of songs there. My faves off her debut are Casual, Red Wine Supernova, Pink Pony Club, California, My Kink is Karma, and HOT TO GO! ❤️ EDIT: She sounds like Kate Bush here, true. But she's so vocally talented that she's a total chameleon. Sometimes she sounds like Cyndi Lauper, sometimes Madonna, sometimes David Bowie but uniquely HER, if that makes sense.

[@eevaliisha]

Her album The fall and rise of a Midwest princess and Noah Kahan's Stick Season were in my top 3 most listened albums of 2023

[@momzillainnova]

I see that little smile creeping up! Next time youre having a mediocre/bordering shitty day put this song on and just sit outside or go for a drive. I have a gen z daughter and I love so much music she introduces me to lately. VERY 80's inspired. Im sure she gets sick of hearing my old ass tell her that, LOL!

[@tiger__flow]

Holy crap, I haven't EVER heard anyone mention Margot & The Nuclear So And So's, that's wild.

[@markabusireactions]

They’re ma favourite band lol, I have about ten of their records 😂😂

[@Isamarae]

As someone who worked part time in production, Chappel Roan really did balance the 'rise and fall' of her album well. It folds in some of her previous singles, and was almost named after the first track (except none of her friends could pronounce it). Very 80s pop, it holds boppy club songs, slow sad songs, and is pretty open about sex.

[@shelleyb3268]

She’s ridiculously good. My teenage daughter introduced her to me by obsessively blasting her album and now I can’t get enough!

[@nickmitchell7664]

Cool Margot and the nukes shout-out, saw them open for The Twilight Singers and immediately bought the catalog

[@markabusireactions]

I have their full catalogue on vinyl now, it’s worth a pretty penny these days!

[@nickmitchell7664]

@@markabusireactions my copies are on CD, unfortunately. When I saw them (2011, I think) was before vinyl really was a thing again. I'm slowly turning my collection over again, it's a daunting and expensive task, lol.

[@markabusireactions]

@@nickmitchell7664 oh god don’t I know!

[@alisong826]

7:02 yes I love you caught the swan motif! Her interview on Fallon she’s dressed as the Black Swan, but the performance was done as the White Swan. She’s incredible 😻😻

[@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD]

My second favorite Scot (after my girlfriend) has not only become a Swiftie, but is now reacting to my massive musical crush of the past 6 months or so Made my day ❤

[@markabusireactions]

You’re fast becoming my favourite commenter lol

[@sarahgray6157]

You'd love the album. It's versatile, sexy, vulnerable, smart, and so engaging.

[@ChappellsDaughter]

No self-control, me sees Chappell Roan, me clicks 🧌

[@markabusireactions]

Well of course, it’s yer maw

[@RonHeartsMe]

Definitely Kate bush vibes with her, a lot of her songs have 80s pop vibes.

[@lisahillis8973]

Everyone is going to say Pink Pony Club (and they're right it's amazing) but just a heads up: She has 2 other great songs where you HAVE TO watch the music videos: *My Kink is Karma and **Casual. All solid choices 🤗 *Petty but hilarious. **Depressing but original and relatable at the same time.

[@sebrinalilje8057]

Red Wine Supernova also has a great video.

[@Eliza.chavez13]

I love Margot and the nuclear so and sos 🥳🥳 Chappell is amazing you’ll love her album.

[@poppy6989]

I am really looking forward to your reaction to her album. I think you'll really enjoy it.🦄

[@TheMarshfanclub]

Echoing the calls for an album react- it’s a top album for 2024 for me for sure

[@kevinallen4743]

I'm not getting Kate at all, Ga Ga with a country twang yes & the Bjork swan dress had me waiting for the golden egg to drop. I'd never heard of her either so this was like discovering her with you rather than the usual nostalgia, which was fun.

[@angiem6383]

💜Chapell Roan's entire album is great. Cant wait to see what u think!

[@japyfilms]

since you enjoyed this yes you should definitely check out her other songs but id recommend you try to catch as many live performances as possible, like her tiny desk concert or her live vevo DSCVR performance. Shes so good live.

[@misterguanoman]

Absolutely bloody love this song. Her voice is incredible, especially in the mid-section. And the lyrics! 'You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling'? Chills! This version is great, but I personally prefer the live version from Coachella, which is grubbier and grimier and her band are a bit more to the fore.

[@misterguanoman]

Actually, I just watched the Lollapalooza live version, and that might be the best one.

[@elenar4709]

I had never heard this song until you reacted to it, then suddenly it's everywhere: at the coffee place this morning, at a pharmacy, at the bus, at another coffee place. I'm blaming you, it's your fault for making her so popular

[@tosailuponthesea]

Are you going to post a reaction to the cover too? I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the two versions

[@vampr3751]

As for your confusion, anybody can be a drag queen. Although men are the ones we see often in drag especially in the mainstream …there are many women who do it as well ❤

[@lilypond5158]

Chappell is just so exiting, her music is already good o it's own but her performance visuals or music videos add so much character to them as well. my kink is carma video made me gay seriously

[@eirinikomotini]

Oooh now you have to watch Sabrina Carpenter doing this live! It’s such a different vibe but sooooo good!

[@markabusireactions]

It’s coming in a couple days!!

[@betmo]

lol...chappell is chappell 🤷‍♀️

[@kayemm1973]

My first watch too. If I was feeling mean I'd say derivative but actually it's so fun with it. I mean every line could sound like someone else, yes picking up a lot of Cindi Lauder on the quieter bits and because it's late on a school night I'm blanking on names, a bit of Florence and some Gaga for the sheer power. Definitely worth investigating further. Currently the backing music is sludge and uninteresting but ...

[@kimberlydavis8889]

Can’t get passed the gimmick.
