First Time Hearing Roxette DANGEROUS (SO CATCHY!!!) | Dereck Reacts

[@tapanim6576]

We need more Roxette reactions.

[@juliaallee3278]

Yes!

[@riaanbehr7976]

More Roxette please! Sadly Marie passed away on 9 December 2019. Anyone, It just happens, Do you get excited, Why don't you bring me flowers, Fading like a flower, Crash boom bang, Salvation, Lover lover lover, No one makes it on her own... The list goes on 👌❤️

[@apkelly01]

Another young artist taken too soon.

[@halmstad08]

She died 2 years ago! Very sad! Roxette is awesome!

[@elisabethrichard]

Roxette is my absolute favorite band ever, period :) I bought this specific album on a school trip to Germany, along with one of Marie Fredriksson's solo albums. Good memories. She inspired me to learn Swedish, and many years later, I made this language an integral part of my job. I also used to cut and bleach my hair to be just like hers, and still regularly come back to that haircut. Come to think about it, she had a pretty deep and long lasting impact on my life. Since she died, I found myself unable to listen to their music, it made me too sad. I think I might be ready to start listening to them again. Thanks for reacting to this! They made many nice songs, both older and newer, if you like this one, there's plenty to keep reacting to. My two favorite songs are a bit of a different vibe : "Queen of Rain" (same time period and very melancholic) and "Stars" (newer and kind of electro). "Hotblooded" is also pretty awesome: very energetic! I realize I just picked three songs where mostly only Marie sings, but I love Per too! His solo music is a lot of fun.

[@svenpoletka5236]

Wish I can listen to my Look Sharp cassette on a Walkman again some day, but those are hard to come by these days!

[@newlevelnewdevil6797]

Thatś funny. Abba inspired me to learn Swedish. It´s a difficult language to master!

[@thomascleo]

Marie passed away a couple of years ago, she got braincancer so sad,,,,,,,,,,LOVE FROM SWEDEN❤❤❤

[@genevamckenzie9608]

I was so sad when she passed, great singer!

[@matnar99]

Thanks for the roxette reaction!!!! Roxette was an amazing band and marie is the most powerfull and amazing pop voice of the history

[@nocturne7371]

Roxette is going on tour. Per Gessle has teamed up with another popular Swedish singer, Lena Philipson aka Lena PH. They are also releasing new songs.

[@519forestmonk9]

Listen to Paint

[@staffan66]

Roxette is great and they're very successful duo. About 75 million albums sold and 4 no 1 hits on Billboard. In Sweden we really really miss our songbird Marie

[@ZillaMesh]

Between Roxette & ABBA, Sweden owned the 70s, 80s, & 90's. Every song on every album was a banger. Unreal.

[@jmontenegro1124]

You forgot Ace of Base and Europe they were BADASS too

[@ZillaMesh]

@@jmontenegro1124 my apologies. You are correct.

[@richardtaylor1905]

I love Roxette's more melancholy, acoustic tracks - Spending My Time, Crash Boom Bang and So Far Away. Sleeping in My Car is a bop though. 😄

[@Tifoso711]

Agree, and ”Milk and toast and honey”

[@ИгорьСоколов-й8щ]

And "Salvation."

[@jeremiahcooko7580]

I absolutely love Marie Fredrikksson I may have misspelled her name

[@martinsv9183]

Roxette has endless good songs from the 80's.

[@BadMoonandStars]

Why don't you bring me flowers is one of their last singles, from 2016. The official video features Roxette fans from around the world and it's lovely to watch. It just happens, from the same album has a lovely video too.

[@fireflower7666]

My favourite Roxette song of all time. R.I P. Marie

[@genevamckenzie9608]

Same!

[@mindovermatter6664]

Some of their early hits are Soul deep, Neverending Love and Secrets that she keeps. From their debut album called Pearls of Passion.

[@jonnajois]

Love Roxette ❤️ they have so many great songs. Try THE LOOK (their first big hit) where Per do the leading vocal, IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE (great ballad from the movie Pretty woman), JOYRIDE (uptempo fun song).

[@kilgh]

The fade out of the track always makes me laugh as Per Gessle is saying at the end "due to the exceptional weakness of this song, play loud". Sadly Marie was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2002 that caused Roxette to end for a decade. They had a huge comeback tour in 2011 but in 2016 Marie was forced to retire on doctor's orders and died in 2019 after battling her cancer for 17 years. Per Gessle still tours as a solo artist and does Roxette tours with long time female tour vocalists who have worked with Roxette through the years.

[@AndieO]

Was going to mention her passing. You beat me to it. I always loved their song Joyride.

[@mariflame1821]

Oh 😅 didnt know, going to listen again!

[@kilgh]

@@mariflame1821 Enjoy! lol.

[@FaithnSin]

Marie passed away, that’s what happened with Roxette. They were AMAZING live; I was heartbroken when she passed.

[@esclad]

Look Sharp is just an amazing album.

[@juany1031]

Great band they have a millón of hits

[@what-uc]

I'm waiting for you to discover the Corrs, big in Europe around the millennium. If you like ABBA and Roxette you'll like the Corrs.

[@wayne_twentyfive]

Glad you're checking out Roxette .. They are great, and this is one of their best songs IMO .. "Fading Like A Flower" would be my next suggestion from them .. BTW - There's another Swedish group you used to cover which seems to have totally disappeared from your radar .. 2 girls, 2 guys, one of the biggest record selling groups in pop history .. Any ideas who I mean, Dereck ??? 😉

[@sirjohnmara]

Another hint: Produced by Denniz Pop. RIP Dagge...

[@wayne_twentyfive]

@@sirjohnmaraI was referring to ABBA ( who Dereck used to react to a lot ), not Ace of Bass .. But yes, AOB are a good band, and Denniz Pop was instrumental in their success.

[@hanshansen8137]

Per Håkan Gessle is the mastermind of Roxette, he was written ALL there worldwide jits (including 4 #1s in the US billboards). He is as well a VERY GOOD SINGER, too - not only Marie. Per is still very active NOW in 2024. Film, album, worldtour, musical...

[@henrikbergstrom697]

RIP Marie❤️

[@briannielsen8214]

Roxette Are back!!

[@VERDEESCORPION1030]

From Sweden 🇸🇪, of course, after ABBA. 💚💚💚💚

[@DanielKing-dk5nr]

Shame the whole band smoked cigarettes. I think Marie passed away from Brain cancer in the end. Horrible :( RIP Marie.

[@MissYavanna]

If I'm not wrong, this song was written by Per for Don Johnson, but he thought it wasn't good enough. The last words "due to exceptional weakness of this song, play loud..." had to do with that story. Like a joke.

[@davidpieper7233]

I was about 1011 when this came out and looking back on it now it’s really solid

[@boymallari8095]

Try to missioned soul family band from the phillipines their cover song Dangerous by roxette and their other cover song tnx.

[@briannielsen8214]

Hi dereck..you should react to their new singles the loneliest girl in the world, and the brand new song, walking on air....Best regards Brian from denmark 🇩🇰

[@sirjohnmara]

Greatest POP-DUETT since Eurythmics! RIP Marie...

[@israelbarreroramirez5035]

I love Roxette... Me recuerda mis mejores momentos de adolescente. Soy de Colombia y no sabía inglés cuando seguía a Roxette... Siempre decía tontadas en el coro de esta canción y lo único que decía bien era "Dangerous".... Jajaja... Gracias x traer está música... Roxette fue unos de los grupos más exitos de finales de los 80 e inicios de los 90.. y en el 91 fue el dúo grupo con mayores ventas a nivel mundial según Billboard.... Y a veces no sé les recuerda.... Y fueron grandes y geniales.... Y sin líos de drogas sexo etc... Solo buenas vibras en sus canciones.... Gracias por recordar este grandioso dúo sueco 👏👏👏

[@vendelayindustries]

New video (without Marie) in 2022; kzbin.info/www/bejne/roDbhmCFfLmkq68

Man, this band was so fun in the late 80s / early 90s ... i mean: still is, but back then ... damn! :-)

[@PencilaPaper]

Well re-recording is not possible since Marie left the earth too early… 😢

[@lucagaimo2384]

Hey Dereck, my mom watches your videos. I searched to see if you already made videos on Stupeflip, but it seems not. You should give it a try, it's really good

[@УБОРЩИК-ф1ц]

Funny how noname can say anything about one of the most legendary band in history

[@rebeccabennett8188]

Per Gessle has changed Roxette to PG Roxette and has released new music since to passing of the beautiful and talented Marie Fredriksson

Actually, Roxette's first big hit, "The look", had lead vocals by Per Gessle.

[@genevamckenzie9608]

One of my favorite songs EVER!

[@poodledoodlequilter6479]

Strange choice for the first acquaintance with the work of Roxette.

[@DereckReacts]

not my first

[@mattpotter8725]

Sadly Marie Fredriksson passed away a few years ago, I think it breast cancer, so no more Rosette. Per, who wrote all of the songs still alive but I think he said he won't use the Rosette name again because it wouldn't be Roxette without Marie. RIP Marie!!! You left us far too young, but you'll live forever through your amazing vocals and energy. I think one of my first crushes was on you!!!

[@jesicadpsc]

She had brain cancer. She died at the of 61, the 9th December 2019. And Per continues with Roxette, now is called PGRoxette or RoxettePG and he is going to release a new album the next month with it. And there are two new songs The Loneliest Girl In The World and Sunflower. I didn't like them much, but it is just my opinion. And there are two female singers this new Roxette: Helena and Dea Norberg( they were the latest backing vocalists) and some of the old Roxette's musicians as Jonas Isacsson...

[@roxerforlife3663]

Loved Marie💕 No one else like her and I doubt there will be again 😢 Marie was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2002. She was successfully treated but left with obvious side effects, eventually given all clear from cancer, however she suffered with the effects of the rigerous treatment which in the end she passed from.😢 Per is still using the Roxette name and will release an album soon under the name PG Roxette.

[@mattpotter8725]

@@jesicadpsc Still far too young imo. Thanks for correcting me on the cause of death. Maybe the interview I heard was a while ago and he changed his mind. He was the songwriter in the band so I guess if he fails on hard times it's his choice to try and cash in on the name that made him famous, can't blame him for that. I think Marie brought so much that made Roxette special, the songs were catchy for sure, but I think there was chemistry between the two that made the songs what they were. I'm not sure you can replicate that, maybe you can but it's rare. Also music has moved on and so many bands or artists find it hard to continue over decades to come out with fresh material over of periods of time.

[@rsuriyop]

I never really noticed it at first, but damn, vocally Roxette actually sounds very similar to Celine Dion. Just a completely different musically style and that’s all. But the vocals sound very much alike.
