‪Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (Live) Reaction ‬

[@AndyWilliams8]

Starts out nervous...lucks out by reacting to one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.

[@janpersson9818]

I love this song but this is strange version I don't like as much.

[@Rocker9965]

Yeah there are some songs where the live version is much better than the studio recording. This is not one of them.

[@MsLuvmusic81]

yeah studio recordings are best most of the time!

[@nataliefeelme4416]

I agree

[@anthonylarson7919]

Chris Isaak might be one of the best entertainers ever....if we have concerts again go see him...GREAT show

[@1996vivian]

He has a voice like melted butter! Am I wrong?

[@terriertz6837]

NO!

[@texas1949]

1996vivian You are 100 percent correct! OMG!

[@modsquad20]

Elvis lite.

[@zebulon8819]

Like butter I'm getting veclempt talk among yourselfs

[@nataliefeelme4416]

true but still very manly somehow.

[@byzinski]

I never heard this man sing before. I’ve must of been under a rock! A most beautiful male singing voice I’ve ever heard !!!!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

Righteous Brother listen to some of the covers done of this somg, they are awesome. Look up the voice

[@audreycumby1075]

He is absolutely a fantastic singer and guitar player...

[@debbiemadden4372]

Check him in concert,you’ll fall in love,what an entertainer

[@therussells3086]

You would really like the official music video. So romantic!

[@barbarachieppo8290]

The girl in the video was the real-life girlfriend of the late lead singer of INXS Michael Hutchens (spelling is off probably, sorry) Her name Helena Christensen I believe

[@spirittammyk]

The uncensored version is probably one of the most sexiest videos ever made!

[@highheeledfagin]

Might get blocked

[@marcieharreld286]

Don't you mean HOT and overflowing with pure desire? 😉😉😉

[@philipstone7720]

Hey JB, I enjoyed your honest reaction... It doesn't get better then any Song sung by Chris. And! He Wrote This Song Himself, as he told in an interview a few years back: A gal who was playing that 'Wicked Game' on him, telephoned him late one evening, back in 1989... She demanded too drive to his place that night, even though he was aware of her game! So she did, and, in the time it took her too drive to his place... He Wrote This Song! Now That's Talent!

[@debravirden7130]

Chris held every woman's heart in his voice!

[@DLCSTexas]

Chris is also an actor. He was on the show Friends as Phoebes boyfriend. He gets her to play and sing at the library for children. This was an actor role...no singing...quite a talented guy.

[@lejafrank6272]

Gave me instant chills! I could close my eyes and slow dance touching myself 🥰

[@marcieharreld286]

I'm so happy you're sharing your musical journey with us!!! Its magnificent!!!💜🎼🎶🎵😉🤟

[@debbeborders5762]

I could see you starting to smile and new you were liking this song. Thanks for reacting to this, James.

[@vickiroman921]

One of the top 5 gorgeous songs on earth. I was fortunate enough to hear Chris in Denver right after this song came out.

[@annabinksy1694]

BANGER...this is one of my favorites...soooo haunting and on point!!!!

[@stefanieclarke7600]

He and his band are awesome still to this day. I have seen them recently. They have played together for over 25 years. 💓💓

[@NefariousKoel]

Don't be scared about the popular song recommendations. Most of them have survived the test of time in many listeners' ears. Trust in the votes. Even if the occasional one isn't your flavor, the majority probably will be to some extent. Great reaction vid, btw.

[@juliekeesee3499]

I've been a fan of this man for 25+ years. If you want to check out anything further, I would recommend Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing and Blue Spanish Sky.

[@brxee]

Both excellent choices

[@tomschmitz5745]

i hear you, i've seen him 4 times already in concert over the years.. great great concerts, great great entertainer him and the entire band... my favorite current male singer.. personal favorite is "can't do a thing to stop me"...

[@erinoldcoot3381]

@@tomschmitz5745 I've been 3 times, Blue Hotel for me. Chris Isaak is the GOAT!

[@lisabernstine4355]

the guitar on this track is so soothing...

[@sfbayareagirl]

Chris Issak has so many great songs yet this seems to be the only one anyone ever goes to. Check out “Blue Hotel” “I’m Not Waiting” and “In the Heat of the Jungle” or literally anything else by him. He’s so great!

[@0013pokijo]

This song makes my clothes fall off. LOL!

[@texas1949]

Marla Rogers Mine are off right now and I’m calling my husband from upstairs! 🥰

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

You women are absolutely cracking me up! I spit my drink out from laughing so hard. It's funny, though, I was going to comment to our host that pretty much every woman of the time had a monstrous crush on Chris Isaak because of this song. Thanks for sharing the comment!

[@davidcopson5800]

Hope you don't hear it in a shopping mall then.

[@stefanforrer2573]

"........ I like this a lot." I just released the biggest breath of my life.

[@karolyn8644]

I love seeing you so pleasantly surprised after your initial jitters about reacting to an artist you never heard before. This really is a gorgeous song.

[@larryg7126]

Chris has never done a bad song, his voice is so unique & his guitar work is great. Recommend "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing", "Somebody's Crying", "Go Walking Down There", "Graduation Day"

[@InsubordinationFreak]

Chris is quite popular in Australia. Great singer, guitar player and highly entertaining and funny in a live show. His voice can really soar (Let me down easy/Don't leave me on my own), but he can rock too (Blue Hotel). Quite an original artist in my opinion.

[@kimm59]

This one sends chills up your spine

[@naturemom57]

The funny thing about Chris Issacks is he has a great voice but he is also an actor and a pretty funny guy💜

[@dherman0001]

And a model I think. No homo here, but he got lucky in the looks department for sure.

[@donnabruhn6907]

Love that you are taking that journey, there is sooo Much good music out there

[@karenlackner192]

I KNEW you’d like this song !!!! Chris’s voice is soulful!

[@slothbros7607]

Chris and his band are so amazing LIVE. If you ever have the opportunity to see them, do it! They are fantastic showmen. Funny. Talented. Amazing.

[@lisabarbosa4541]

"I'm scared"...love it...😊...and then the famous JB smile! Great reaction!!!

[@Doodsy1975]

This is a song that you could play when you have someone special staying over for the first time. Wine, candles, with this song playing........

[@Cybrludite]

Love starts with butterflies in the stomach, and ends with you drinking alone & listening to this song on repeat.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Great song. The music video back in the day in 1989 features the beautiful supermodel Helena Christensen and Chris Isaak frolicking on a beach in Hawaii. The video was filmed by famed photographer Herb Ritts (who also shot Janet Jackson's music video for "Love Will Never Do (WIthout You)" from 1990, another great song that I recommend. :-)

[@veewest5628]

i love that i know how your going to react when you hear my generations great music. im 64..a 70s rocker chick.. great music is great music, doesnt matter when it comes out, but hell, we had it great! lol

[@ZanzibarBreeze]

That live performance of Wicked Game is the best video I’ve watched on KZbin tonight. This reaction is the second.

[@michaeltomkinson134]

Best live version ever 💙

[@bridgetmcclellan8411]

I love this song. He is so good.

[@cimarronwm9329]

The video, back in the MTV days was a black and white scorcher to watch. Lots of people thought the song became popular based on the video ( a model with Chris ) . But as you can tell it was and is a great song.

[@rookmaster7502]

As I recall, radio stations were already heavily playing this song well before MTV started airing the video.

[@spirittammyk]

@@rookmaster7502 I thought the song was first made popular by a movie with Nick Cage and Laura Dern in it?

[@valnauffts9965]

Amazing song by an amazing singer ,loved it !

[@jackssmirkingrevenge9365]

the studio version of this is probably the sexiest song ever created. definitely on my playlist along with a couple others for when i got female company around 😉

[@dannyreeves4782]

Man this usually isn’t my kind of music either,but I’ve never turned this song off when it comes on.Its actually a pretty beautiful song.It could almost be soft rock,country, or R&B,whatever it is it’s great stuff.My playlist goes from Zepplin,Metallica,Pink Floyd,and to ones like this.

[@JohnMedved]

The song came out in 1989. Good stuff. It blew up after David Lynch used it in one of his projects.

[@nataliefeelme4416]

for me one of his best songs. Deep. Love it. You need to listen to the official Video. Way better!! Makes you melt.

[@gailvmeadus9726]

Excellent song brings me back in time. Baby did a bad bad thing by Chris Issak is another good one...

[@Terri6868]

You need to see the video. I have to go take a cold shower. Lol🎸🎸

[@rebblespad1]

wow...... powerful song.... love, love. love your reaction as it was obviously out of your comfort zone at the beginning. well done on giving it a go, you found the beauty and passion at the end

[@lydiajoy1823]

I used to love this song. He’s so dreamy.

[@bernadettekutch5240]

Thanks for reacting to Chris Isaak! Another great song of his (in my opinion) is Somebody's Crying. He has such a beautiful and unique voice!

[@audreycumby1075]

Yes that is a great song!

[@acidsupernova]

Definitely check out Chris Isaak's Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing for another one of his big hits. Very different vibe from this one. That one features the low range of his voice.

[@aronp7097]

The back up harmonies in the chorus, are the 🔥 part! "This world is only gonna break your heart".

[@lfcgero35]

The memories that this channel brings back to me is amazing so much music i have forgotten over the years. It is great to see someone else enjoy it as much as i did and now still do. I have watched so many of your reactions and you never seem to fail in your choice of artists. Your channel is very much appreciated and thank you for time and effort in creating these reactions. Cheers from dublin ireland from a long time subscriber slainte.

[@lorilxn1597]

I havent heard this song in years, I've got goosebumps so bad right now 😍

[@trishab4327]

One of the most beautiful and romantic songs ever wrote.

[@shirleycarr5387]

Chris has alot of good songs.

[@hotternfyr]

I wanted to nudge you to say “no worries, mate!” I knew before I opened the clip that you were really, really going to enjoy this one!! I’ve seen him in concert ; he wore a suit made of “mirror balls” mosaic tiles! Most Excellent!!!!

[@JF-Sebastian]

Blue Hotel by Chris Isaak is another good one.

[@erinoldcoot3381]

My favourite.

[@irishgrl]

Yes, and King of the Highway

[@FeistyGirl007]

Ooooohhhhh...YOU REALLY HAVE TO WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO OF THIS SONG, FILMED ON THE BEACH, WITH MODEL HELENA CHRISTIANSEN ...and CHRIS ISAAK...TO REALLY GET THE FULL EFFECT OF THIS SONG...!!! ROMANTIC...❤❤❤

[@karencogs1]

Love this sing! Definitely a favorite! Music video is really good too!

[@deborahcornell171]

That's one of those songs with atmosphere! I remember the official video..Chris & some model rolling around in the surf, on the beach. Pretty steamy stuff, especially for someone like me who has a thing for the beach & the ocean. Perfect setting for the song. I agree with others, you need to hear his "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing".

[@connieleighton4375]

Dude never be afraid of the music lol great reaction for a great choice. This song came out and my oldest son who was like 2 at the time would stand in front of the stereo or t.v. everytime it came on and would harmonize with it on the long notes it was really cool and he turned out to be the kid who played piano and trumpet when he got older, always think of him when I hear this song...♡

[@stephanieosadchuk5689]

It’s an older song, and it was played a lot back in the day. Chris has a beautiful, haunting voice. He does a similar thing with his voice as LeAnne Rimes in “Blue.”

[@pamela1144]

I have loved him for over 20 years!! Beautiful voice and great band!!

[@drainmonkeys385]

It’s weird how im 58.. I only first heard this a few months ago… and it’s been out for better than a decade… how does that happen with such a fantastic beautiful song

[@legaltidbits]

OMG, I love this song! Tt is a very haunting song.

[@gsnuevot]

My favourite song of all time

[@brian95240]

Chris Isaac came through Stockton, CA (before he blew up) and my dad's friend said his friend's cousin Chris was playing at a house party. He didn't attend. He told me he wishes he could have met such a great artist looking back at a missed opportunity. He also got to see Jewel when she was in San Diego at a coffee shop. She was from Alaska and was homeless until she got her hits.

[@rykerroadMOM3123]

A most Excellent Choice!! I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

[@linzyaz920]

This is one of my fave songs eve! His voice is so beautiful and haunting! I was so excited when I saw you reacted to this bc I knew you'd love it! You really need to react to "Roy Orbison- Crying or Only The Lonely" live. You will love it!!!

Big hit for Chris after the song was used in the 1990 movie Wild At Heart. I remember the video was all over MTV which featured supermodel Helena Christensen rolling around on a beach.

[@jackssmirkingrevenge9365]

@@jackssmirkingrevenge9365 Carmen would have been good too. But Helena is a little more mysterious looking, to me anyway.

WILD at HEART...i love this !

[@BelindaTN]

I like Sons of Serendip's version. They sing and play it so beautifully. They did this song on Americas Got Talent.

[@growellyrowelly]

This song, KD Lang’s Constant Craving, and Annie Lennox’s Why where the triad of heartbreak songs when I was in high school - I would highly recommend the other two - you need to get some ladies in your rotations! - and the official video for Wicked Games is fire -you should really check it out.

JB don’t be scared man you’re heading down a great path, I enjoy listening to all types of music, but I think 60s and 70s you can’t go wrong with that music no autotune no computers just pure talent and instruments. You tune in to different types of voices try listening to one of the great all-time 60s bands Creedence Clearwater revival, Great voices and instrumental skills, tons of hits,I’ll give you a few, Born on the Bayou, I put a spell on you, proud Mary. Any comments that you may receive about Creedence Clearwater Revival songs you won’t go wrong listening to any of them.Enjoy
