FIRST TIME HEARING Rick Astley- Never Gonna Give You Up REACTION

[@aquariaaustin2077]

Not only is he a great singer, the dude could *DRESS* like a king, LOL. I would have gone out with him for sure.

[@jamiedianne6778]

I’m obsessed with watching reaction videos to this song! We all can’t believe the mature voice coming out of that young man. In the 35 years I’ve been hearing this song I never knew what he looked like but this is not what I imagined 😂

[@talltulip]

Most people will never forget the moment when they saw that boyish face and youthful physique, and then heard that rich resonant voice coming out of him. Hahaha! Your reaction was CLASSIC!!! That expression on your face! LOL!

[@dubzer0649]

Haha 😂 glsd you enjoyed He totally surprised me

[@anyakimlin6702]

I saw the single before I played it. His face was on the front.

[@polyprinz]

He just turned 21, and that voice....come on...that voice. This was #1 worldwide, and played on the radio every time.

[@aquariaaustin2077]

He was 20 when he laid down the vocal tracks.

[@gabrielbrown1855]

Really? Because when I looked up how old he was on google it said he was 57 but he was 21 when he did this

[@shonia9059]

I remember watching this video with my grandma, God rest her sweet soul. She could not and would not believe he was singing. I tried to tell her it reslly was him. She just got mad and yelled, " That boy ain't singing that song!" I just gave up trying to convince her. lol Rick definitely has soul.

[@MiguelRodriguez-nd6xy]

The dude knew he was going to lose his privacy, and some sanity, if he stayed in the limelight as most megastars. He kinda retired at 27, not wanting to continue with the whirlwind his talent granted him. Still, his vocals are undeniable. And no auto tune was available at the time. Either you had IT, or you didn't. That simple.

[@AudsVids]

Hasn't everyone been RickRolled at some point? It's a very catchy song though and Rick has a good voice.

[@janiceduke1205]

1987. This song was written by the British production team of Stock, Aitken and Waterman. It was inspired by a woman Pete Waterman had been seeing for three years. Rick Astley was staying with Waterman at the time, and after a three-hour phone call with the woman, Astley said, "You're never gonna give her up." Aitken and Waterman then changed the story a bit and made him the one who was vulnerable. In America, the follow-up single was "Together Forever," which has a similar sound and was considered a sequel of sorts to "Never Gonna Give You Up,"

Rick was 21 when this came out in 1987. It was his first song, he had 8 hits in the next 5 years. He became disenchanted with the music business and retired at 27. He has started gigging again and has released several albums in the past 5 years. His first new one, 50, premiered in the UK at number one. I really prefer his newer songs. My favorite is Try kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnLYlWmIhKiegas So funny that I just remarked on your reaction to the Temptations song Ain’t to Proud to Beg. Then you do this by Rick. You should check out his cover, it really shows off his soulful voice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGnUgppshq6Ip8k

What is so sad about this is people assume someone is black just because of their voice. Maybe schools need to bring back choirs so kids see and hear that all races can sing, have soul and groove.
