Europe - Carrie REACTION!

[@carriec9719]

As a “Carrie”, I loved this song when it came out 🤗🤗. I was 20 yrs old LOL

[@gabrock5755]

I like this band 🖤Europe!

[@hasibahmdadnan]

A very dear friend of us cover this song in 1987. He lost his covid19 battle last month 😢😢. Stay healthy and stay safe everyone.

[@carriecummings4151]

I love this song! As a Carrie how could I not love this song and then pure emotion in this song.

[@carriecox8198]

All of us Carrie's swell up with pride when this song comes on lol

[@dimitarkostadinov5341]

Close. The song "Carrie" is about saying goodbye and understanding that life can change unexpectedly. The song encourages the listener to cherish and appreciate the present moments with the ones they care about. The singer is saying goodbye to someone named Carrie, but it could also refer to any situation or relationship where two people have to part and not be together again. The singer conveys the emotion of the situation by using the lyrics "Can't you see it in my eyes? That this might be our last goodbye" to emphasize the sadness of saying goodbye. The song ultimately hopes for future reunions and for everything to work out in the end.

[@hugofernbom]

It's from 1986. They're Swedish. React to Europe - "The Final Countdown". Extreme - "More Than Words". White Lion - "When The Children Cry".

[@gaiavenus]

Nice selection :)

[@Monkyking123]

rock the night and cherokee too

[@johanvanoppen1627]

Get the funk out...😂 I was 10 starting my metal journey???

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

I used to have a BIG poster of the vocalist in my pre-teen room😄. I was 12 years old. Btw, the singer's name is Joey Tempest (or Joakim Larsson before he became a rockstar). 🇸🇪 🤘

[@toeknee713]

When he first started talking about his voice my first thought was of White Lion.

[@karlhungus1965]

No autotune back then! The man can sing!

[@mjcole12]

I've got my own Carrie from the past that I think of every time I hear this song! What could've been if I wasn't so unable to commit...I often wonder where life has taken her though I fear the worst...

[@CarrieGoodall-v2x]

I was actually named after this song I was nameless for 4 days before my parents heard this and thought it fit as I stopped crying when this was on xx

Wow!

[@tempestadigioia9904]

I love your reaction !! And I like that you appreciate the skill of this band, still active now! The voice and the beauty of singer Joey Tempest seem to have come from heaven💖💖

[@cherylwaite3255]

Loving all this 80's 🎶 music another great song!!!!! 70's music is big for keyboards too

[@emilyshepherd997]

This came out when I was 10. A year later, my grandmother Carrie had a stroke. Whenever I was on vacation with them (I live in GA, they were still in LA), I would turn on MTV and take care of her as much as an 11 year old could. We lost her in 1988. I cry every time I hear this. To me, this is her song. If I had a girl (2 boys) her name would have been CarrieAnn Jaden. The meaning - God has heard a beautiful melody.

[@kerihans7216]

I'm a Carrie! Except spelled Keri!!🖤 I was in a doctor's office a few years back when I heard this for the 1st time! I'm 24 now

[@amandalinard9835]

Billy, you are reacting to so many song from my childhood. I LOVE IT! Great reactions to 80s rock. BTW, I love your shirt!

[@nightfallstalker6778]

React to When the Children Cry by White Lion, it hits all the good spots

[@mikehess7687]

That’s a good one for sure.

[@jasonswierenga1443]

Anything by white lion is fire. Great band love vito's guitar skills.

[@sn8keeyes193]

The guitar solo in that song..........legendary.

[@hippiechic6772]

Hi Billy..... This is one of my favorite video reactions I have seen from you . I am not a Carrie but I was a teenager when this song was all over the radio in the "80's" and Rock n' Roll was the main genera of music I listened to . Much appreciation to your channel Billy .

[@patriciacloix71]

Un bijou excellent wooow hummmm merci à vous reaction love Europe

[@nicolemoore2912]

My mom is obsessed with this band! Especially the lead singer, Joey Tempest! 🙄😂 my Aunt Carrie used to joke and say this song is about her

[@ostumbling]

Hilarious reaction! Hands in the pocket. 🤣🤣🤣

[@mcneca1]

Even though I was in elementary school at the time, I was so excited when this song came out. It was so cool to hear a song with my name. Up to this point, the only thing with the title Carrie that I knew about was a certain horror book/film.

[@robinqueen2311]

Carrie is my daughter's name, she was named after my grandmother.

[@lorigirard7239]

Definitely 80's ❤

[@yamatokira54]

Joey Tempest is incredibly good. And as he's singing in his second language makes it even better.

[@yelenaalipova6815]

His voice is as beautiful as his face.

[@wittynamehere_]

Ah, 80's songs always bring back the memories. Yeah, I always took this song as an end to their relationship. We were a thing, but things changed. Maybe we will get another chance in the future, but it's not gonna happen right now, girl. 🤷‍♀️ I do like "Rock the Night" by Europe as well.

[@izabellnemilindfors2566]

Love this song i gro up whit this album on my lp player and it still best song ever made

[@mikaelpeltonen96]

That was Joey Tempest, 15 miles from Stockholm Sweden. This was on album Final Countdown in 1986 but the single came out in 1987.

[@MeMeVoyageOf]

So glad you love this!!!

[@QueenBee_76]

That T-shirt is everything 😁

[@mirandahankins6890]

"Is it 80s?" When in doubt, look at the hair. Lol

[@grammarpolice1462]

From Europe's 1st album the song (Scream Of Anger) It's a little more obscure but a rock'n Gem.💎 For reference, "Carrie and the Final Countdown" are both off the bands 3rd album. The 3rd album broke this band big, and eventually became platinum 6 times over!! Europe: "Scream Of Anger" Edit: the album "Final Countdown" was released in May of 1986.

[@littlepeeper9223]

I just love the way he plays the solo its like you do Carrie, i do this.

[@lillanlofgren7424]

I go memory lane when I hear this song

was in Berlin Bde 85-86, went to the BRD 86-89 this was a cool song among many others...

[@michaelliles69]

Joey Tempest is the lead vocalist and has an amazing voice. He sounds the same singing live. The group is Europe, they are a Swedish Rock Band. You reacted to this group if you remember the guitar solo you reacted to for me. Flight of the Bumble Bee.

[@moviegirl1100]

I vote for you continuing the 80s songs. There are so many great groups and songs that you could do.

[@darkiee69]

Dreamer is another one of their great songs. Or Joey Tempest solo, either "the match" or "A place to call home"

[@henrikeatworld]

Man, this song was literally my childhood. All those school discos in the early 90's :)

[@kendramurphy4128]

You should do a reaction to Europe's song "Rock The Night"

Ahhh memories from high school and middle School 😂😂😂

yes this is an 80s song.. I love your reaction to it and love this song... loved it when it came out and still love it. I am like you and love Joey Temptest's (lead singer) voice. Another good song by Europe to listen to is Rock The Night. So many good Europe songs as well as great 80s songs. They need to bring back 80s music style.

I forgot that they had another hit besides The Final Countdown.

It was released in 86 the 80s was the best era for music to me . as for as country music 90s was the. best .... Anyways they have a song called the final countdown if you want to react to it . its really that simple .😁

It's AOR music. Europe - Carrie & Bad English - When i see you smile are both AOR songs, the best music in the world. AOR Heaven..

[@desiderious1]

Although Europe is more famous for their song, The Final Countdown, Carrie was actually a higher charting hit for them. It was from Europe's album, The Final Countdown and reached number 3 on Billboard's Hot 100 in the fall of 1987 in the U.S. and hot number 1 in many other countries including their home, Sweden.

[@jayjaymorales8571]

" shout out all the Carries out there" 😂😂

When this song came out, I was on a soccer team with a girl I was kind of friends with. Her name was Carrie, and she might have been my very first straight girl crush.

[@amairano3225]

Had a laugh with your comments here LOL

[@wongedwardtuckhoe4284]

This is 80s hits song.

[@terrillcovey2652]

I had a big crush on a girl named Carrie in 3rd or 4th grade when this song was popular. Not sure if I loved the song because of my crush on her, or if I had a crush on her because I lived the song. Haha. However, I still love the song & I definitely don't have a crush on Carrie LaPearle anymore.

Yes it was in the 80's

Sorry I am not a carrie but enjoyed your review of this legendary band..ohh them crystal clear high vocals on this song.sweet love child is a cool ballad by them.

[@Giant97]

All the big heavy metal bands (especially from the 80's) it was mandatory to have a ballad. Every one of them. Oh react to Tesla - Love Song. Best ballad of all time.

[@aburke0823]

You want to get your mind blown, listen/react to Bruce Dickinson's TEARS OF THE DRAGON. *spoiler: toward the end the lead guitar not only sings back to the singer but harmonizes with him.

[@leebassa1545]

Actually, this is about him kicking Carrie to the curb and trying to be nice about it…

[@terrillcovey2652]

I echo everyone who is saying to check out When the Children Cry by White Lion (I might also add "Little Fighter" by White Lion.)

[@Marco-vw3mv]

This was a fun time for music (for me), but it did become somewhat saturated at a point where so many bands were coming out that all sounded alike or at least formula similar). Bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Janes Addiction came along and basically played music that flipped the bird at this whole sound movement. I remember reading George Lynch (from Dokken who was another pretty awesome band back then) saying "I think I need to buy a flannel shirt". I took that as meaning, well, our time is pretty much over.

[@andreamartinez6929]

I had this on tape Entire tape is amazing played it so much it got warped. Please react to Europe The Final Count down
