R. I. P. Marie, we all miss you. Hope you found peace in heaven.

[@stephanebreton3708]

Finally!!! She was such a great singer. You will love the following songs: Joyride !!!! Dangerous Fading like a flower

[@thaitim007]

Amazing album

[@markstevenson7577]

I know Silver blue was only an album track on the tourism album but for me it's the best song they've ever wrote.

[@BadMoonandStars]

@@markstevenson7577 yes, silver blue used to be top of my list and I remember, back in the day, it was often voted top of the fan list in the fanclub magazine! (That was before the joyride album). Was originally the b-side to The Look. Still one of my absolute favourites.

[@paulmyers6171]

You grew up with Natalie Imbruglia and I grew up with this! The 80’s were so much fun as a kid. My first crush was Morten Harket lead singer of A-Ha. I connect to 80’s music very emotionally. Thank you for this!

[@Islendingar]

Roxette were an awesome duo and it’s heartbreaking that we lost Marie to cancer after a massive 10 year battle …. RIP & hope you’re out of pain now xxxxx She had such a unique and beautiful voice too 🎵🎼🎷🎶❤️❤️❤️🥃❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼NMHRK NMHRK NMHRK

Such a beautiful voice gone far too soon 😢 R.I.P. Miss Marie 🙏✌️

[@josefinelagerstrom2643]

The video was shot in the Borgholm Castle ruin on the swedish island Öland. In the beginning you see the Öland bridge, that conects the island to the mainland. 🏛🏰

[@iezzi80]

Marie s voice is still today one of the best!

[@josefinelagerstrom2643]

Roxette is the 2nd biggest music export from Sweden (1# is ABBA). It's a duo that was active from the 80's until 2016, when the singer, Marie Fredriksson, was too ill to continue touring. She had battled cancer (brain tumor) since 2002 and she sadly passed away in 2019. 💔🕯

[@hildegardkurku3504]

So sad.Really!!

[@mariflame1821]

I love Roxette! "Fading like a Flower" and "Spending my Time" are also very touching and "It must have been love" from the Pretty Woman movie. They also have fun songs like "Big Thing" and "Joy Ride", and of course their big hit "The Look"

[@dtwolfe63]

This was written by Per Gessle (the male half of Roxette), so, yes, Roxette were the original singers of this masterpiece! There are 37 covers of this song.

[@celine4evauk]

I've loved this song since '88. Still adore it. One song I've never got bored of, ever. Hope you check out more of Roxette! 😁

[@loicbarbier4490]

Super groupe...she's got the look...Roxette

[@jaimeaguirre2706]

They have a lots ,such as : keep me waiting, things will be the same, do yo get exited, chances, hotblooded,what she s like, surrender,i love of crashing guitars..

[@redsmoker37]

Wow, 11th grade all over again!!! Joyride and Fading like a Flower are probably her best songs. She had such a cool look for the late 80s/early 90s, too.

[@sebastiencalandrini9650]

Hi Dereck. I recommend Roxette's hits Crash! Boom! Bang! and I Wish I Could Fly that are fabulous pop rock ballads. Take care.

[@colombe245]

Fantastic song, fantastic singer ...say no more , this one is made to be listen forever 🎉

This song is used in many commercials. Every one knows the song without ever having properly listened to it before. Ah about the singer, you know, she's got the look ;)

Love seeing young people discover music from before they were born. RIP Marie thank you for your music.

[@zaklina.4822]

But this song is very popular and often played on the radio stations.... Somehow I can't believe someone doesn't recognize it...

[@niklasherneryd4754]

Roxette was a really good band with lot of nice songs. It must have been love and The look were their most famous songs. I do like these calm ones better. Queen of Rain, Spending My Time and Fading Like A Flower are three of them. Thank you for a great reaction!

[@theokolintzikis2513]

@Dereck Reacts : well, there are three versions of this masterpiece that came out at the same year. The first one is the album version. The second one is the swedish single edit. Both are the same but the first has a strings fade out you'll find only in the album. The swdish single edit is the most known of the three and i bet that you have this one in your mind that you've heard in the past. Now, the version used for the video, is the US Single Version wich came out for the american radio broadcasters. It's a little shorter and it uses different electric piano arrangement. The vocals used on the three versions are the same. extra-info for you: the video was shot at the Borgholm Castle in Sweden. Roxette played at that day a complete concert and two videos were shot at the same day. Listen to your heart was the first and the second was Dangerous

[@jevousemmerdetouslesthunde2391]

Hi Dereck! Thanks for your react on Roxette. This song was released on September 17, 1988 in Sweden their country of origin but internationally on August 19, 1989 after their worldwide success of the single "The Look" (1988) which you should do as a react because it is the BEST of their second album "Look Sharp!". The song exists in 3 versions: the original, a slightly modified version and the US Remix which is that of the promotional clip. It was ranked no.1 in the Bilboard Hot 100 on November 4, 1989. This music video was shot in the ruins of Borgholm Castle on the Swedish Baltic Sea of ​​Öland. Unfortunately in France we didn't know this song but that much later in 2005 in dance version by the Belgian group DHT with Edmée which will become a worldwide success and ranked no.7 in the charts. For 2-3 years, I think it's this version that is (still) used in commercials for a major American burger brand! You should react on their SMASH HIT "The Look" in 1988-1989 a rocky/synthpop-wave song as you like! 😉 Thanks for your amazing work our American dude. 👍🇫🇷

[@tapanim6576]

ROXETTE 4ever!!! Please more Roxette reactions. Roxette has so many great songs.

[@pascalmarfaing4945]

"Linsten to Your Heart" is really a Roxette's BIG hit !

[@kellypierce81]

I've loved Roxette ever since they first hit the charts with 'The Look' way back in the late 80's! Marie had the most exquisite voice. It was a sad sad day when she passed.

[@theresenydahl9531]

Thank you for another great video reaction!🌷🌷🌷🌷 Marie's voice was something else❤ It's from a concert at the Borgholm castle ruin at the island of Öland, you see the bridge going over there in the beginning. Summer concerts there are beautiful because the sun hardly goes down. The Swedish Royal family has their summer residence there and always casually attends the concerts. Our Crown Princess and future Queen has her birthday in the middle of July and there's a great birthday musical tribute held yearly in her honour on Öland.

[@bachatamusica]

🤩😍I saw them LIVE in June of '91 in Boston, during their "Join The Joyride! World Tour" ‼.....and by the way, this video was shot in an old Swedish castle.🏰💛💙 They are my Nº 2 favorite act from Sweden, after my Nº 1 😘💕ABBA..........................my Nº 3 is Ace Of Base, and my Nº 4 is Europe.

Borgholm Castle to be precise.

[@nickhaswell6011]

Superb absolutely incredible best performance this live Real shame marie has passed massively missed a big part of my growing up and memories R.I.P MARIE

[@matnar99]

Roxette was an amazing band❤️

[@kilgh]

Marie Fredriksson had a very much darker songwriting mood and tended to jazz and blues in her own music. (she was a huge solo artist in Sweden first). Per Gessle wrote most of the songs for Roxette and he is a 4 chord pop melody genius. From memory he wrote this one about a friend contemplating divorce.

[@BadMoonandStars]

Yes, I love Roxette, I love Per, I love Gyllene Tider, but for me Marie's music is top. Den ständiga resan is my favourite album of all time.

[@007sMoneyPenny]

Oh yeah, I had a great childhood. 80s in school/ teenager and the 90s when I was at the university. The time in my life where I visited the disco 💃 a lot.

So good to see Roxette on your chanel! They are legends!

[@karlturner9038]

YES!!! THANKS A LOT FOR SUCH AN AMAZING REACTION VIDEO! I love this song very much and will always do because it is a real pop-rock masterpiece. You will certainly like many otehr Roxette songs, truly worthy!

[@Abbadonhades]

My Roxette favourite would be "Fading like a flower", closely followed by "It must have been love." They are at their best with the power ballads. Marie Fredriksson had such energy and emotion in her voice. She also had that edge that you talk about, that i think often may have been overlooked just because there's such beauty to her vocals.

[@UliFandoms]

When this song came out, I heard it on repeat. Also all German radio stations played it around the clock. Still one of my Roxette favorites! And this video/concert scene is just ace 🧡

[@evelyncampbell5702]

I love roxette I still have the cassette ❤️

[@lynxlynx8125]

Great group with great songs! She is missed by fans.

[@markstevenson7577]

From the album (Look Sharp). If it wasn't for an American exchange student buying this album then giving it to his local radio station back in the US to play this album would've flopped so we all have a lot to be grateful for towards that student.

[@sharifuddinsalleh7119]

I miss Marie 😢🌹 Dereck, you should also react to Roxette's Fading Like a Flower❤️🌹

[@juliaallee3278]

Thank you Dereck! Roxette have many iconic songs thanks to Marie’s voice and Per’s song writing skills. Check out The Look and It Must Have Been Love. From Marie’s solo career there’s also Sparvöga (Sparrow’s Eye).

[@juliaallee3278]

Spending My Time is another good one from them. If you ever want to check out other Swedish rock bands then the band Kent were absolutely huge over here, though their music is a lot darker (closer to Depeche Mode than Roxette, except more guitars than synths).

[@juliensimon6597]

This live version is very unbelievable !!! I love it !!!

When this song was out they wouldn't stop playing it. You couldn't get away from it for 5 years and it was the best damn song going, every single time. Even after metal went out it the 99s it still sounded kick ass. I never stopped loving this song.

[@esclad]

Roxette's greatest hits is just brilliant song after brilliant Song. Look Sharp their debut album was my teenage years. RIP Marie, you will be GREATLY missed.

It's amazing how Roxette aren't remembered better than they are given that they had 4 no 1 Billboard hits. It was likely that they were at their biggest at a time when other genres dominated like grunge and alternative rock.

Hi Dereck, I note you often play French pop (soft) music but there are 2 very outstanding songs which unfortunately do not have video clips. First is Les Variations - Down the road and the 2nd one, Jupiter Sunset - Back in the sun. I can guarantee you, you’ll be blown away as well as all people watching your channel. .

Bin 60 Jahre alt, war und bin großer ABBA FAN,,als ROXETTE kam ,war ich enttäuscht. Es kam eine neue Band aus 🇸🇪 und die beiden waren SOOOO toll !!👍👍👍 MARIE AND FRIDA haben sogar einen Song gemeinsam aufgenommen !!! IN MEMORY DEAR MARIE 💔😭😭

[@Lisa-M]

Warum warst Du denn enttäuscht, als Roxette kam, wenn Du sie toll findest? 😊 Aber was ABBA betrifft, frag ich mich langsam, ob Dereck vergessen hat, welche Band seinen Channel bekannt gemacht hat. Da kommt ja gar nichts mehr, obwohl noch so viele tolle Songs fehlen. Aber wahrscheinlich sind mittlerweile auch so gut wie alle Patreons, die ABBA-Fans sind, woanders hingegangen. Dereck war mal mein Lieblings-Reactor, aber das ist vorbei. Ihm sind ja scheinbar nur noch Views und seine Abonnentenzahl wichtig. 👎

[@matthewcharlesworth1893]

Derek D.H.T I think did a dance version of this song in the 2000's, it's good but nothing like this version

[@otisblack3921]

Enough about Marie, (no offense, she’s AMAZING) but Per is a genius in his own right. My first exposure to him was when he put the Dorothy Parker poem “Threnody” to music for Frida’s first English album, “Something’s Going On”. He is a prolific songwriter and can create ear worms on the same par as Benny and Bjorn although his lyricism is rather banal and lacks the storytelling of the fore mentioned above. His solo album “World According to Gessle” stands as one of the greatest collection of pop music in existence. Now back to Marie, you may want to check out “Alla Mina Basta Ar” on Frida’s final solo album, “Djupa Andetag” where Marie sings duet with Frida. Frida first asked Agnetha to sing with her but Agnetha declined for fear that it would incite reunion rumors (perish the thought). The two sound great together. It’s worth a reaction !

[@gustavocmargutti]

i think you should react to “Givin' A Little Bit More” by ABBA, a demo was recorded during the sessions of “The Visitors” in '81, it was never completed and never released, but a fan made version was completed and released, go check it out, you’ll thank me later hahaha

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

I was born in 83... I grew up with Roxette and I know almost all their songs by hear... But I was to young to realize that Marie was a fakking *BABE.* God damn, look at that figure. I mean no disrespect, I know she died and I genuinely think its a loss for humans as a species... But she was fakking gorgeous.
