FIRST TIME HEARING Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes (Official Music Video) REACTION

[@RhiannonRowland]

Love this song, I always think of her voice as a 'bedroom' voice. She was also probably one of the people in the We Are The World video that you didn't know.

[@stich21]

came here after that vid to see if they remembered her.

[@johndalley1288]

You need to understand that Betty Davis was popular actress from the 40s and the 50s. She was know for her killer blue eyes, thus the song Betty Davis Eyes. When this came out in 1981 it was a monster of a hit. I have always love the song and the way Kim's voice is with that growl that she has.

[@davidw7]

Just so ALL know Bette Davis first movie was in 1931 and by 1932 Pre-Code bad girl was a hit. Here eyes were always her feature and she had movies thru every decade. Most of here movies were B&W so few saw her eyes in them. Great Actor among the best females of all time.

[@EllakGr]

The part ”She’s got Betty Davies Eyyyyesss” gives me goose bumps and shivers deep down every time. Unique. Thanks.

[@scottgrimes1287]

howshe drags out....eeeyyyyyeeesssss...definitely...gives me goose bumps too

[@sashabertold3731]

This was a mega hit! She sang about a legendary Hollywood actress.

[@MrRondonmon]

This was about a modern 70s (it was written mid 70s) woman who had [Jean] Harlow hair, Greta Garbo stand off sighs (as in you bore me, peasant, lol) and Betty Davies famous eyes. So, its really about one woman who has the charectoristics of three famous golden era Hollywood legends.

[@kristyshortridge4968]

This song is fire! Kim's voice - that soft rasp - is perfect for this song. Great reaction

[@mksch7642]

Kim has that "Rod Stewart" voice. Check out her song: More Love. 1981 I was a sophomore in high school...lol. Thanks for the memories. Peace

[@Fremen1971]

The song also mentions Jean Harlow and Greta Garbo, along with Bette Davis. All three were known for their mysterious and sultry roles, more so the first two.

[@rtm27]

I always loved her voice, it has that smokey element to it. Absolutely loved this song since the first time I heard it.

[@tomloft2000]

she was still alive when this song was released and by all accounts was flattered that someone would write a song about her.

[@lisaray9944]

Oh I am still in love with this song. Bette Davis has the most beautiful smoldering eyes I have ever seen , her eyes speaks to you .

[@christinerobinson9372]

An homage to the great Betty Davis. You didn't say if you knew who Betty Davis was, many reactors don't. Betty Davis was an average-looking woman except for her extraordinarily large, beautiful, and expressive eyes. And she was an extraordinary actress. May I suggest that you be the first to react to "Gone With the Wind"? "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane" with Joan Crawford, and her first movie, "Of Human Bondage", with Leslie Howard. Leslie Howard also played Ashley in Gone with the Wind.

[@rs-ye7kw]

Bette Davis was not in "Gone With the Wind". Perhaps you're thinking of another Civil War themed movie "Jezebel", which she starred in and was released a year or two before GWTW.

[@dbradx]

Another great choice to start my day, and man this one takes me back - when it came out, it was all over the radio, and my older sister played the record a ton. Great reaction as always, peace and love y'all!

[@sarablack2547]

Bette Davis was an American actress from the 30's on.her best known film is probably the thriller what ever happened to baby Jane? Co starring Joan Crawford.

[@itchyandred4131]

Oh yeah my absolute favorite old movie 🎥 and Bette Davis was my favorite actress ✌️

[@sarablack2547]

@@itchyandred4131 yeah I like that movie too! Do you know french and Saunders they're a uk comedy act dawn french and Jennifer Saunders from the 80's on.part of their act is doing parodies of films.theydid this one.please have a look🙂

[@itchyandred4131]

@@sarablack2547 I do know Jennifer saunders from absolutely fabulous but I haven't seen the parodies yet. Definitely going to check that out........ thank you for the suggestion ✌️

[@sarablack2547]

@@itchyandred4131 no probs 👍🏻. I love french and Saunders so getting more people to hopefully like them to would be good.that was her solo project later on.while she was doing an fab dawn was doing the vicar of Dibley which she plays the vicar it came out just as it became legal for woman to be vicars. Ab fab came from a scetch they did on their show.

[@Coolrockndad]

This song was #1 for five weeks but was interrupted for one week by "Stars on 45" before it returned to the top spot for another four weeks and became Billboard's biggest hit of the year 1981.

[@ursulabklyn_mia6148]

She has Rod Stewart's same scratchy voice. Betty Davis was a very famous Movie Star from the 1940s.

[@deborahcornell171]

She had a great follow up song, "Draw of the Cards". Very mystical sounding, unique groove, strange but interesting video. A music critic called it "intoxicating in its creepiness".👀💙☮

[@cassandrawells7399]

She's got that ultimate rasspiness to her voice. I love it!

[@Mark-iv7np]

Good song, dig her voice. She did a great cover of MORE LOVE by Smokey Robinson! That's my favorite song by her. Keep up the good reactions.

[@chantellecline6945]

Kim Carnes has such a unique voice, you will always know its her when she sings.

[@dvsreed]

So many people now don't have any idea who Bette Davis was

[@midnightblue6668]

I LOVE this song and Kim's voice...SMOKEY! She can sing that in my ear all night long! (She's one of the singers on the "We Are The World" video that most folks don't recognize.) This is one of my favorite songs. It's a LONG list of favorite songs, but if I ever had to make one, this would be in there somewhere. (I could never make a list because if it wasn't like top 1000 favorites, it would break my heart to leave songs off of there.)

[@charleswilliams6236]

This song is awesome

[@judyseeley5284]

Kim's awesome she held the bill board hit spot for 9 straight weeks with this banger, her entire hi- fidelity album is awesome also check out "don't fall in love with a dreamer" duet by the great Kenny Rogers (R.i.p. Kenny)

[@pisces228]

This is the only song I remember from Kim Carnes, but it was a huge hit. She was in the We Are The World video, singing in the section with Cyndi Lauper and Huey Lewis.

[@Tatsta]

You guys should react to We Are The World it has some of the greatest artists that come together to sing this song including Kim carnes great song.

[@willfromyadkinville]

i love her! her duet with Smokey Robinson More Love was very very good!

[@debbiemccain5850]

Bette Davis was an actress from way back and was said to have beautiful eyes, referenced here in this song🎶🎵🎶

[@RC-ul2oe]

This is the best 80s song ever

[@robertphelps1574]

The original version was written and released by Jackie DeShannon in 1975

[@SIXX2772]

The slaps we done been hearing across the world lol

[@mtsula]

Thank you Terrific for showing this video!

[@davidw7]

If you saw the - USA for Africa video.... Kim was the blonde singing with Cyndi Lauper with the red/orange hair then most recognize. Few recognize Kim in the video and wonder who she is.... now they know.

[@gheller2261]

My favorite guilty pleasure song.

[@DLCSTexas]

Bette Davis had these big eyes that as an actress she could really pull you in. She had maybe 3 academy awards. She played any genre or classification of movie. Kim carnes met her one time and bette thanx her and told her it meant a lot to her and that it was good for Hollywood. Bette made way over a hundred movies. This song was better for Hollywood than madonnas Voguewhich mentioned a lot of Hollywood stars. But the actors in her video were sex symbols and didn’t have the character Bette did. She acted all her life.

[@danv9872]

Not new to channel but subscribed this time. Love reactions watch lots. You 2 impress. Happy weekend

[@michaeldouglas8214]

She has a great unique voice. Quiet and raspy

[@SweetThing]

The slapping motion they did throughout the video is because Bette Davis was known to do that when she got ticked off with men in her movies. LOL!

[@raiderrod3584]

I love this song good job on the reactions 👏

[@jacqueline4514]

Kim Carnes' raspy voice is perfect! And I just love the lyrics, paying homage to Bette Davis, a true bit@h, with eyes that could kill you with a look, and I say that with the utmost respect!

[@sandiflinchum6925]

Can you react to a country trilogy? It's Travis Tritt trilogy. It's 3 songs that complete a full story. You will love it .. . I PROMISE😁🤗

[@lauriebarrett6789]

Gwyneth Paltrow did a cover of Bette Davis eyes in the movie 'Duets'.

[@joepaskowski9091]

She’s got that raspy, smoky voice…makes for a unique sound for sure

[@cjstryder5441]

I feel like driving when I hear this song.

[@SleepingTiger-vlog]

Bette Davis was a really interesting person too.

[@chrispruett81]

Crys has Betty Davis eyes for sure!! :)

[@leonardocartes1253]

For always, Kim has been the female Rod Stewart, At least for me. As far as the soft... she's pretty gritty!

[@Luke-bt1zk]

Good morning from Spokane Washington Yesterday we remembered the 20th anniversary of the death of Layne Staley RIP. I recommend checking out Mad Season Wake up, Mad Season consist of Layne Staley from Alice n Chains and Mike McCready guitarist 🎸 from Pearl Jam. Beautiful song whole album is a masterpiece.

[@dougca7086]

[@mikeasr]

“Ya know what I’m sayin’?”

Diana Ross and Lionel Richie should had won the Grammy in 1981 for their song "Endless Love" but they gave it to Kim Carnes. They were cheated.

[@joelw926]

Raspy voice

[@michaelmorrow9048]

Why the hell do you have a Government name? Are you one of the Jason Bourne guys?

[@randy-qf8pq]

ya know what i mean ? no

[@carolespinoza8469]

I liked her song 👍👍. But honestly. Betty Davis. Had huge. Ugly eyes. 👁️👁️. Sorry. Don't you think she sounds like. Rod Stewart. Nice voice 🤩

[@jeffbrewitt1708]

You guys seem brain dead. Commenting on her quiet voice “you know what I’m saying” wasn’t exactly a reaction. The girl didn’t react at all, just sat there breathing air and blinking. No exactly insightful. No I won’t subscribe.
