First Time Hearing Bee Gees - Tragedy (Reaction!)

[@AmazingChinaToday]

Even that "explosion" sound was created by Barry Gibb - he made that sound with his mouth. They didn't miss any details.

[@AmazingChinaToday]

The "Bee Gees" is a magnificent rabbit hole to dive into. So much raw talent and many good songs!

[@shadow1674]

Now can you please do shadow dancing by the baby brother Andy Gibb please please please please please please please❤❤❤❤

[@nelerhabarber5602]

Guinness World Records lists Gibb as the second highest-grossing songwriter in history behind McCartney. Gibb's career spans more than 60 years. He and his brothers were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 as a member of the Bee Gees!

[@BullCityRich]

Shon, you are right when you say how good and uplifting their songs make you feel. They have a magic that grabs you.

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

You need to see the video with them singing this song .Youll love it.

[@chab1rd155]

That explosion noise, towards the end of the song, was made by Barry with his voice, in the studio! Love me some Bee gees!❤ ( there's a video somewhere on the Internet, that shows him doing it in the studio) ...really cool

[@AmazingChinaToday]

Check out this one, performed live on a TV show: Bee Gees Nights on Broadway Midnight Special

[@curtisbeshears8364]

You mentioned the horns, the group Chicago, was background on several songs on this album. This song was the 5th # 1 in a row. “Love you Inside out” also on this album made 6 in a row.

[@ginalaperuginanyc7641]

SUBSCRIBED! Love the BeeGees! Saw them in concert in the 70s and 80s!

[@tjrivers]

Also, try BeeGees “Massachusetts” and “I Started a Joke” made just when they were just emerging talents! Tragedy was the perfect disco song…Do the Hustle!

[@kristinakorpi6979]

The BeeGee's were just INCAPABLE OF WRITING AND PERFORMING ANYTHING LESS THAN AN EPIC SONG - PERIOD!!!

[@urm0mma4]

Our children and grandchildren should know the Bee Gees

[@loner9328]

You're right that this music makes ya dance. I'm a very awkward and shy "goth" chick that refuses to dance but the BeeGees have always hit my soul. Can't help but groove to it ❤

[@shadow1674]

Oh wow thank you thank you thank you thank you😮😮😮😮😮

[@johneldridge8678]

Excellent reaction. "Love so right" is really good. Great falsettos.

[@Sandra6411]

You should watch “the making of Tragedy “!

[@jai07070]

Great reactions! When you mentioned about how the Bee Gees have written songs, there's also a list of popular songs they wrote for other well-known artists .

[@carundle-ds1op]

This song does make you want to get up and dance.

[@georgia1bulldogs]

Absolutely timeless! Danced in the late 1970's in the clubs, I am 65 yrs old and it feels like yesterday. So happy you appreciate our music of long ago .God bless you!

[@michaelmorrow9048]

Riddle Me This! How the HELL can you keep up those vocal qualities for Decades!? Vocal Athletes, the Bee Gees. Vocal Athletes.

[@lilamuzik3385]

They are just amazing. There are no words to describe this phenomenon other than thank you, God, for The BeeGees.

[@bettyartis3648]

Michael Jackson said that the Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever soundtrack influenced and inspired him when making Thriller!

[@Tessiefaye]

Shon I'd love for you to do some Hall & Oates. They are up there with the Bee Gees as Rock and Roll and song writers Hall of Famers. They have multiple #1 hits and a large catalogue, not as vast as the Bee Gees because no one is. You can start with Sara Smile, Rich Girl, I Can't Go for That, Maneater and many more. Take your choice.

[@vickiewiseman7112]

Love Daryl Hall! ❤

[@bettyartis3648]

Over 1000 songs written by Barry and his brothers. So many hits for themselves and others. Watch making of Tragedy...great fun.

[@sally2shoes]

I’ve listened to more BeeGees because of SHON than ever before and I’m actually enjoying it more than I thought I would.

[@DavidHenley-x6c]

The thing I loved about the BeeGees is their music in the 60's then 70's totally two different styles and they knocked it of the park both ways. Like a switch hitter❤

[@michaelbueche6513]

Bee gees nights on Broadway

[@toddforhetz]

What a feeling back then, to walk into a disco with the lights, smoke, excitement, and head straight to the lighted dance floor for this song ! Everyone having fun and dancing ! I miss it !

[@tonys2899]

When i was younger and first heard this song on the radio, i misheard the lyrics as "Trackin' it in." So to this day why i hear it i now sing in my best falcetto. "🎶When my dog goes out and there's mud outside she's TRACKIN' IT IN!"

[@matteoedwardes2876]

Lonely Days, Fanny, Nights on Broadway, You Should Be Dancing, Love So Right, To Love Somebody…just for starters. Maybe you have reacted to some and I haven’t seen them yet.

[@chab1rd155]

Nights on Broadway by them should be next, and Jive talkin

[@kathieovercash8414]

The explosion sound was done by Barry making the sound in a microphone. The video about the making of Tragedy is great. You could do one Bee Gees song a week and it would take you years to get through all of their songs that are this great. I have over 150 favorites.

[@debbicook1584]

Yet ANOTHER brilliant song, covered by many people 🥰❤️

[@chab1rd155]

LOVE your reactions! And I AM a subscriber! 🙌💕

[@WelshAmethystGirl087]

Check out beegees one night only in vegas one of the best live shows I've ever witnessed

[@andreasmith6528]

This is one of my favorite disco songs.

[@Sportsref13]

Bee Gee sing so well, and their writing credits are amazing.. Over 1000 Hit songs written for other artist .. Check out their song Nights of Broadway🤩🤩🤩

[@natashacrack5972]

Its hard to describe the magic that was the BeeGees, stunning harmony...... sad that 2 of the brothers have passed 😪

[@shanedesselle2590]

Underrated song in their vast, incredible catalog!

[@Illuminatelight]

I absolutely love your reactions Shon! BeeGees are so awesome!!❤

[@KimPend]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your reaction to everything you do. I’m 52, I grew up in the 70s and my true love was 80s metal. I just wanted to know if you would react to one song. This singers vocal range is arguably one of the best of the 80s, ESPECIALLY in Rock. The song is called I’ll Never Let you go by Steelheart. When you hear the leader singer hit the notes he does, YOUR MIND WILL BE BLOWN!!! Please and thanks sooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@AuntieOfSeven]

They wrote a lot of hits for other artists. Their influence was everywhere. I loved their small concert “ one night only”

[@blitz3643]

This song was very popular back when I was in grade school. We all loved it. We used to sing it at school with made up vocals. "Tragedy! When you're sliding down the hall and your balls hit the wall, it's Tragedy!"

[@MAGIKMARTIAN9526]

DUDE THEY WROTE SO MANY SONGS FOR OTHER PEOPLE JUST AS PRINCE DID IF I MISTAKEN ISLANDS IN THE STREAM FOR KENNY ROGERS AND DOLLY PARTON WAS WRITTEN BY THEM

[@jayeginn5963]

Love your reaction. Yeah, the BeeGees were incredible: they wrote all their music and lyrics. It is especially mindblowing since none of the Gibb brothers could read or write music plus none of them finished High School!!!! It's funny that you mentioned the thunder in the song. I hope you will watch and react to this clip in which you can see the writing and recording process AND how the thunder strike came about kzbin.info/www/bejne/amOwnGmFf5qNrbM

[@bryansproles2879]

Tragedy and Nights on Broadway are easily tied for my #1 favorite BeeGees song, followed closely at #2 with Jive Talkin'.

[@tinakeith5822]

You should watch the making of this song/video!😊

[@WelshAmethystGirl087]

I shamefully got into beegees in my teens after hearing steps cover of this. My dad went mad and told me beegees did it first I didn't believe him being I had no idea back then that people covered songs I thought everyone had their own original songs only. Once I heard this version beegees became a quick fav of mine

[@ricellisfrost620]

You're the coolest, Shon. You make me listen with fresh ears to songs I've heard my whole life!

[@samedmundson6470]

This entire album teleports me back into my pillowcase cape and 8track player. Parents bought their first set of nice full ear head phones so they wouldn't have to here this album on repeat. I used to sing Barry's part perfect...

[@dianebradley597]

I'd like to see you react to some of their earlier work, like "Words," or "Massachusetts", or I Started a Joke," or "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" It' interesting to see how they reinvented themselves over the decades.

[@MrAverageViewer]

It's really great watching your reactions to music like the Bee Gees, and great music from the past!!

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 Another great reaction Shon. I love that you love The BeeGee's, they were/are phenomenal. ❤🎶

[@g.dubyou6263]

We need “More than a Woman.” Excellent track.

[@melanieheathbeasley133]

My Gen X childhood Vibe. I remember sneaking into my sister’s dance costume and I would wear full hassle arms dancing in the road to this mess. I was in the country so yes, we danced in the road in the 70’s. Good times

[@germankitty]

If you feel like it, please listen in to "Woman in Love", written by Barry Gibb and sung as a duet by him and the incomparable Barbra Streisand. (Side note -- back in the day, Barry was one of my first celebrity crushes. That man was GORGEOUS! 🙂#50yrsfangirling🙂)

[@wildmandon1]

Just wait 'til you react to "Love You Inside Out" from this same album, the studio version. By the way, "Too Much Heaven was also from this album in 1979.

[@RockinMamaT]

Love me some Tragedy❤❤❤

[@Sandra6411]

YOU SHOULD BE DANCING (video with their brother Andy in it). You’ll see all 4 Gibb brothers on stage together.

[@reborndaughter445]

I wore this album out as a teenager. Loved it!!!! Thanks so much Shon, good stuff.

[@hopeklemann1]

I don't remember if you've done any of their little brother's work - Andy Gibb... it's a happy and sad story and all intertwined with his brothers as well but totally worth diving into

[@kathieovercash8414]

On March 5th their brother Andy Gibb would have been 66 and on March 10th it had been 36 years since he left us. Please react to Andy Gibb on the Midnight Special singing I Just Wanna Be Your Everything.

[@RockinMamaT]

You should be dancing is a Bee Gees must❤

[@cindydegraaff5083]

Brightened my day! Thanks!

[@Seanadun]

I've just subscribed hello from Ireland. Love the bee gees, thank you.

[@mickeyhank]

This is one of my favorites by them -- the chorus is so good. Bro, seriously, check out "Love You Inside and Out" by the Bee Gees -- my favorite song by them. Thanks for your channel man, you do a great job.

[@sm7479]

Bee Gees wrote a lot of songs for other people too. They were amazing. Listen to the song 'Emotions' submng by Samantha Sang and Bee Gees also sing. Thank you. Enjoy your Bee Gees journey. So many songs. Also listen to "You should be dancing ' you will want yo get up and dance 💃

[@sm7479]

Would like to see the videos plesse, if you can and not just audio . It gives you a different feeling watching it. Thank you.

[@sm7479]

Would like yo see videos please and not just audio. It gives it a different feeling watching it thank you

[@johneldridge8678]

The dance clubs were blazing when this song came on in the 70's. Good times.

[@debbicook1584]

You need to do Jive Talking, 1975 BeeGees and Night Fever 1977 BeeGees!! Also watch the film Saturday Night Fever they did the Sound track, it's wall to wall BeeGees!!

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

I love the Bee Gees! I grew up listening to their music on the radio and they had tons of airplay!! They are fire! 🔥🔥🔥Thanks Shon!

[@dennisflury6942]

Nice!

[@dave1154]

Shon you are always spot on with your analysis. Love it

[@wadebuck69]

I have to say your reactions are unique and genuine. I have seen a shit ton of reactions by everyone from vocal coaches to opera singers to those reactors who are fake as fuck because it is obvious when someone fakes a facial expression or tries to act like they feeling emotional but every reaction of yours I have watched has been honest, true, and heartfelt. I don't know what makes me want to watch someone else listen to music. I am 54 years old and if someone would have told me ten years ago the I would be watching someone listen to music I would have laughed in their face but there is something about watching a real genuine reaction to hearing songs for the first time that I love and grew up listening to that just makes me feel good. It reminds me of the first time I heard those songs. That being said I have a suggestion that will make you say WTF? It is by The Bloodhound Gang and the name of the song The Lapdance Is So Much Better When The Stripper is Crying. I believe you would enjoy it. Keep up the good Brother and I hope to see you reacting to The Bloodhound Gang soon.

[@antheabrouwer3258]

Mate. You should check out their whole catalogue. Would take you years. And it's all good!!

[@MaureenBaker-k5p]

video is a must see

[@DariaBilowus]

The exploding noise you heard towards the end of the song was made by Barry.

[@edugenopat]

Shon, you need to try some of the work they wrote for other artists. Good examples are "Heartbreaker" by Dionne Warwick or "Chain Reaction" with Diana Ross. It will link you to other great artists from the Disco and early 80s era.

[@RockinMamaT]

If you ain't dacin you dead😂😂😂😂😂

[@emilianoserranosouza1991]

Legendary song, love it!! Great reaction!!

[@coreymuise]

Foo fighters have a great disco tribute album.

[@christophertodd4514]

flex them huge canons once...... Teddy Swims, loosing control or Tenn. whiskey,, Kamauu , Tenn. whiskey totally different versions.

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Underrated song here. Love this group and all their songs. Barry was gone before we knew it but we definately give them their flowers and remember their God given gift they sacrificed for us. Well maybe not the sacrifice, lol but definately the love they gave us through song.

[@vickiewiseman7112]

You mean Mo and Maurice... not Barry❤

[@rhondahandley9595]

Maybe Andy?

[@Zlata1313]

​@@vickiewiseman7112and you meant Maurice and Robin?

[@vickiewiseman7112]

Love this one too! ❤

[@davidaronson9475]

If you find someone not moving when listening to this song then you'd better call the coroner.

[@roseyoung6585]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@gingerbreadman1969]

Have you ever reacted to DeBarge? I recommend Stay With Me... If you like the Bee Gees you'll love that 👍😎💯🔥

[@williamwilson9283]

❤❤

[@CalebKotschedoff]

I’m here because of beetle juice 2

[@andersgranstrom7128]

😍😍😍

[@juneevans8647]

If you haven't done Emotion, with Samantha Sang.

[@AndyMakesPlaylists]

PLEASE DO "I WANT MY BABY BACK" BY JIMMY CROSS! I promise you it will be one of your most sensational reactions. Nobody has done this one, but everyone will after you do it.

[@kate89polishgirl31]

SUBSCRIBED! Please please react to the "Massachusetts"(sing Robin- the one without a beard 😊) live version and "Closer than Close"(sing Maurice - the other one with a beard 😉) Have a nice week ❤

[@blueboy450]

React to Black Betty by Ram Jam please! Black Betty is an old muzzle load gun, then the song changes to about a woman etc.

[@connierohall4248]

You need your react to Dragula by Rob Zombie!

[@dubivxler]

👍🫵👌

[@rhinno1969]

Disco = Village People 👍

[@talltulip]

Shon, you've just GOT to watch this video, which shows the Bee Gees recording this record. You will be surprised by the way they created that "thunder" sound. So inventive and creative! kzbin.info/www/bejne/amOwnGmFf5qNrbMsi=-_bg4Q4DM92HSWHf

[@sarablack2547]
