[@grendelz]

Man, Lionel is such a great songwriter.

[@avedic]

Damn straight! All decades have great music....but I love the 80s for how *_sophisticated_* the pop music was. Songwriters skewed a bit older in the 80s....holdovers from the pop/rock explosion of the 60s & 70s. And synthesizers allowed for easy chord inversions and key changes that aren't as intuitive on guitar. The result? Deeply catchy little pop symphonies like "Hello." I have a soft spot in my heart for all that late 80s/early 90s MOR Adult Contemporary POP. Another gem is Michael Bolton's "Time Love & Tenderness." Such a well crafted catchy bold song. It's got that now cliché early 90s new jack swing vibe going on....almost sounds like something Michael Jackson would have recorded in the early 90s. It's easy and basic to dismiss that kind of music as cheesy and overly sentimental. And I mean yeah....it is! But it's crafted so well and is so fun and interesting from a pop songwriting perspective. It's kinda the polar opposite of the punk aesthetic, which I also love. I just love great music....whether a song has 25 chords and 7 key changes.....or just drones out on one chord the whole time. Great music is great music. :)

[@frederickzink9664]

Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written! 🙂💘

[@kevindarkstar]

Girl, the heart doesn't need eyes ❤️

[@justcallmebrian793]

Exactly, that is what people don't understand for some weird reason, which is baffling.

[@anthonysoley7121]

Lionel Richie had the voice that nobody in r&b and pop music ever had.

[@paulsullivan1650]

The blind girl is 26 year old Laura Carrington, one of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen. I mean, that girl was absolutely striking to look at! Hard to think that she is now 62 years old. And I'm betting she's still a stunner. Lionel got the inspiration for this song while thinking about how shy he was around girls when he was young.

[@ChuckBrownStuff]

Her husband is a pro photographer. I believe his name is Anthony Barbosa. He shared a pic of her in the past few years. Still absolutely gorgeous.

[@masungukafoa1454]

I absolutely love this song. It’s so beautiful.

[@jimwhite4105]

LOVE Lionel! One of the best singer songwriters ever! This was a Big #1 record. ♥️♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@jessearmstead2237]

You are truly in tune with the harmony and instruments.. this is the power of music composed, played, and sung by an artist accompanied by real musicians . Music is my pulse to life.. Great reaction🙏🏽

[@Sinjin.S]

A blind woman is more then capable of seeing ... seeing into the soul ... the part that truly matters 😉

[@tuckerplum8085]

Nobody seems to understand that this song is all happening in his mind. He is not "creeping" around the halls after her. He is imagining what her life might be. He is saying he admires her from a distance. He doesn't actually call her, and then hang-up the phone. He is imagining what it would be like to call her, to say "Hello...." >>>The very first line of the song is "I've been alone with you inside my mind." RogueRxyce even stops the video exactly at that point and laughs at the idea that the acting scene is happening.... and Lionel goes-off and starts singing. It's because he is not actually singing! He is lost in his own thoughts. The song is his inner voice. The song is the thoughts he is having in the privacy of his own mind. We cannot help having a crush on someone. He is not making any actual moves on this woman (and yes, she is a full grown, adult woman. She NOT a teenager). He is not actually following her around the school. He is imagining what her life at school must be like. He is thinking about how he loves and admires her from afar. He is wondering what classes must be like for her. He is not actually approaching her in anything but a perfectly professional manner. He cannot help how he feels about her. But he is NOT "creeping" on anyone! The second line of the song: "And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times." AGAIN! THIS IS HAPPENING IN HIS HEAD. He dreams about her. Nobody controls their own dreams. It is perfectly innocent. Third line of the song: "I sometimes see you pass outside my door." This is a totally innocent crush which is happening at a completely respectable DISTANCE. He wonders what life is like for her: "Cuz I wonder where you are. And I wonder what you do. Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?" This is not him trying to seduce her. He actually CARES if she is okay, even if she is with someone else. They interact in the real world. They talk in class. He talks to her every single day. Yet, on a personal level, he wonders what it would be like to even say "Hello." On a PERSONAL level, he has never even introduced himself. Never even said hello. (And he never would! Because she is his student.) His private admiration of her is something he cannot change. Those are his private thoughts. If people would just understand that the song is his private thoughts.... this is entirely INNOCENT. Anyone who says that he has done A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G inappropriate here is failing to understand the subtlety of what is being presented. He is struggling with a love and admiration upon which he KNOWS he cannot act. He will NEVER approach her on a personal level. That is his struggle. Until, at the end, he gets that final moment when he sees that she might like him in a romantic way, too. (We STILL have no reason to believe that he will approach her romantically until after the semester is over and he is no longer her professor.) He has done nothing unprofessional. He was merely crushing from afar. Again, "I've been alone with you inside my mind. And in my DREAMS I've kissed your lips a thousand times." Innocent crush. All in his imagination. In his dreams. No "creeping."

[@masungukafoa1454]

Pfffffff, Yes it ANNOYS the CRAP OUT OF ME.

THANK YOU.

[@billofalltrades2633]

A legend ! He's a great artist.

[@louisecastaneda5293]

I love this beautiful song of Lionel .great singer☺😍

[@thegorn68]

Just because someone admires another person from a distance and even is infatuated by a person they are attracted to, that does NOT mean they are "creeping on someone". Geez, is there ANY romance left in the world?

[@barbaraburton8914]

Is it just me or do you not see that these are college age students and not high school kids. She is in her own home not with parents. You call college teachers professor. Are we so afraid now that we see potential evil in everything and everyone at first glance?

[@jericoba]

Well said.

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

This video is NOT romantic. The sentiment of the song sure, that’s romantic. But this video? That grown ass man professor pining over his student? GROSS 🤢 🤮

[@Terezie96]

@@NativeNYerChicHK do you think he has a control over who he falls in love with just because he's a grown ass man or what? 😂😂 I'd say given the situation he was in, he still kept it quite respectful and tasteful... the video is exactly about how he tries to keep his distance, as he should, while still fighting the feelings and the need to tell her... well at least that's my interpretation 😄

[@glennwatson3313]

To be fair, he never touched her or did anything to her. He was smitten, but it was a chaste attraction. Though he did call her and hang up.

[@richardmorley7439]

Brings me back to England in 1984. Thanks Rxyce. Lovely reaction. 😊🌹

[@chriss8718]

In 1984 no one thought twice about this video. In 2021 it is very creepy snd predatory.

[@heidiwalker7123]

[@anthalas1]

Lionel was the king of Slow back in the 80's so many good song

[@davidgray1808]

Wait... Is Laura on this video the same beauty that was in Michael Jackson's Thriller???

[@garyblevins3532]

This was Awesome. It took me back a minute for sure

[@stevejoshua9536]

So when you crush on someone from afar, but you know the only way to bring your crossed paths even closer is to manipulate the circumstance to bring that about, I suppose some would consider that "creeping", if the affection wasn't mutual. Fortunately for the female of the human species, the resourcefulness of the male of the species can sometimes solve the question of "is there mutual attraction" by putting himself out there and putting that question to the test. Otherwise there's a lot of couples out there who would never have gotten together.

[@unusuariocomun5039]

TIP, you might react to Dimash Kudaibergen's version ... (Hello) played by DIMASH - you'll love it!

[@chilloutrollercoaster8363]

My first gf gave it a crack with this song 😎

[@nadezhdabegimova2796]

The song is extraordinary, the performance is heartfelt !!! There is no person on earth, it seems to me, who would not know this song ... a masterpiece for centuries !!! I am from Kazakhstan, and recently you made your first reaction to Dimash with the song SOS ... please listen to this song performed by Dimash ... he sang it in his own way ... I'm sure you will like it ... thank you in advance .. ... Песня необыкновенная, исполнение проникновенное!!! На земле нет человека, мне кажется, который бы не знал эту песню... шедевр на века!!! Я с Казахстана, и недавно Вы делали первую реакцию на Димаша с песней СОС... послушайте, пожалуйста, эту песню в исполнении Димаша... он спел её по-своему... уверена, Вам понравится... заранее благодарю...

[@malikismail9725]

Great reaction video but Lionel’s would be charged with a crime today 😂 if you haven’t already, checkout Say You, Say Me by Lionel Richie (movie soundtrack song) - definitely my era

[@avedic]

0:03 oh wow.....are you trying to make me fall in love with you lol? You're gorgeous. Watching several of your reactions....and I really like your vibe, your energy. That's the fun of reaction videos....the personality of the reactor matters a lot. And you've got a cool angle on it. :)

The THUMBS UP, I gave YOU was for Lionel Richie’s song, “HELLO”, not for YOUR reaction to this BEAUTIFUL song that you HAVE polluted with YOUR dirty thoughts of how YOU perceived this BEAUTIFUL “LOVE SONG”🤬😡

[@Kari_B61ex]

MMmm In today's PC world this video is creepy?!! - I look on this video as being set in a community college, older adults. With older mature students - She does 'see' him, as she knew his face, she felt it. This song is truly beautiful and Lionel's voice is heavenly.

[@mp63au]

She knew, she didnt need eyes to see..if you know what i mean. Great song but these days he would lose his job and get put in jail lol. Love your reactions and your smile, you feel the music. I know everyone has done it but "Too much heaven" by the Bee Gees or an ACDC reaction would be interesting. Take care.

[@markkeller1477]

Wow! You are such a romantic...NOT!! Your boyfriend, husband, significant other is such a lucky person!!

[@glennherron9499]

How do you get 8 thumbs down on one of the most beautiful songs ever?

[@jamesjohnston9225]

Great song! Weird video

[@deborahbryan3639]

Funny, I always used to love the video...

[@hhbeatmaker1]

In 2023 people interpret thinks so differently. He isn't actually following her around. It music video meant to tell a story...his mind is wondering about her during her day...wondering what is she doing? Also she didn't get upset when he said are you the one I am looking for...it is phrase to me say you have found someone. This generation is wiser in terms of access to education but they are so weak minded. So easlily upset over everything.

[@lusciousmayweather8385]

Lionel Said This is The 80s. if you're Not Creeping & being Stalker-ish You ain't Trying. 😂😂

[@ericechols7638]

'Hello' by Lionel Richie is a Great Classic Song and stands the test of time. I think in the video when, he begins to sing in the classroom and hallways, he's singing to her in his mind, as he see's her throughout his day at school, but we the audience see's his thoughts played out in a love song in real time. He tries to stir up the nerve, to get to know her personally, when he comes up behind her, while outside. I believe he was going to break the ice by saying Hello, and not touch her hair. He finally calls her on the phone to say, Hello! and she recognizes his voice, so she make a bust of him to show that she always secretly liked or perhaps loves him, as he always secretly loved her, It's a perfect segue for them to get to know one another. Regardless of the teacher/student relationship, they might be each others one and only TRUE LOVE. Hopefully, she will become the Love of his life and his 'LADY'🎵😉🥰 RogueRxyce! 'HELLO!' 😂😆😅🤣

[@ericechols7638]

@@bluflaam777LSA you welcome

[@alabhaois]

I agree. 👍

[@rmathis268]

I hate to be such a smart guy who thinks he's all that but you don't have to be able to see to search and look for something or someone. You can be searching with your heart or mind, at the end you saw how she had that sculpture made in the image of him pretty accurately. She was indeed looking for him.

[@justlovemusic...4337]

I really enjoy your reaction, it is one of my favorite songs, I would like to suggest that you check the Dimash version of this song, because if you enjoyed S.O.S. by him, you will love it, take care

[@ageofechochambers9469]

Watching this female describe lionel as "creeping on her " is the exact reason why A) love songs like this are not sung no more B) why so many females die alone

[@kbab3333]

It is just so stupid how many reactors keep saying he is a creep. This is one of the most romantic videos. Get a life.

Back then that was cool. Now you'd be called a stalker lol

[@nickscott3579]

Most older adult men will identify with this song and video. Remember that it's women that decide if a relationship is actually going to happen and VERY rarely are rejected. Men have to put their necks out and face rejection on a regular basis. Just saying.

Lionel writes such great music. I’m sure you’ve heard it, and idk if there was ever a video for it or not, but if there is and you haven’t seen it, easy by the commodores. I think there may be a live video somewhere. One of my all time favorites. Lionel is fantastic when it comes to these slower songs. I move to a slower rhythm so they’re right up my alley.

[@mauriciomilano1197]

Have you ever listened to Marvin?

[@laminage]

He was on his A Game back in the day. In the 1980's he had hit after hit. The Young Lady who plays The Blind Student Laura played Simone Hardy on General Hospital, The Dance Teacher was the Late Michael Bennett who was the Assistant Choreographer for the very first Production of dreamgirls, in 1981, he also did Videos for Billy Joel (Uptown Girl), Pat Benetar (Love Is A Battlefield), and he also worked with Lionel on Running With The Night. He's probably best known for his work with Michael Jackson during The Thriller era. Sadly Michael would be one of many folks who would lose his life to AIDS.

[@MobileExperienceChris]

So admiring someone from a distance is creeping? Having a crush on someone from afar is creeping? This is obviously not high school, or even a college. This looks like an evening class that adults can go to like a community center, to learn about art, crafts, pottery, and other things like that. It's no wonder why this generation of men, are afraid to even look at a woman. Everything is so damn Woke now. Everything is so damn politically correct. If I hadn't admired my wife from afar, waiting to build up the courage to ask her out, we would have never even met and gotten married.

[@quixote6942]

Lionel Hated the Bust, and Claims he "Destroyed it and left it on the Table" after the video. When he asked about the Bust during the shoot, the Director Simply told him "She's Blind, Lionel".. He's discussed having it Re-created for people to buy. And Although People today didn't like the Video, the SONG say's it all. Loving Someone with all your heart from afar because you never found the Opportunity to Say it. Giving This Song to your Girl/Guy was the Perfect way to Tell Someone without the Awkward Encounter or Rejection. Been There, Felt that, so it really resonates with me.

[@quicktastic]

Unfortunately, psychopathic stalkers have made women skeptical and wary (with good reason) of genuine admiration. There was a time when girls were told to never except a man's first attempt as they will appear too 'easy' and if a man was truly interested, he wouldn't give up so easily. So now, songs and storylines like this one are looked at as stalker depictions.

[@cheryljackson5659]

Listen we’ve all admired someone from a distance, so the sentiment in this song IS relatable. BUT the set up in this video IS creepy. I don’t care what anyone else in these comments say. This shit is inappropriate AND not just now, but back then too. The power dynamics between professor and student is imbalanced and so that authority needs to be respected, BY self control of the person IN authority. Let’s stop romanticizing grossness of grown ass men.

[@kempmt1]
