FIRST TIME HEARING Roxette - Fading Like a Flower REACTION

[@liammize3765]

She will always be one of my very favorite artist ever. Her death hit hard.

[@mallardtheduck406]

Same here, very sad. She was a beautiful woman.

[@MikeR773]

It’s one of those where you always remember where you were when you found out.

[@billyrampersad1750]

Same here ...

[@ellessandraramsay1841]

It's when life isn't fair. She even performed when she wasn't well up until the end. 😭

[@nickhaswell6011]

Yes not only do i love roxette they are a huge part of memories due to how popular they are Yes gutted i knew she was extremely unwell but very gutted to hear she passed after long battle Its like you have lost a family member Marie had such incredible stage presence her voice her body movements arms and hand gestures and head movements from feeling the music was mezmerising to say the least Incredible performer and miss her massively, love that we have there music and videos to remember how truly great she was but painful all at the same time R.I.P. MARIE

[@Don-n6o]

RIP Marie. This is my favorite song by Roxette. Marie’s voice is powerful and clear. A beautiful melody with strong backing from the guitars and keyboards. Thanks for this post.

[@robertfahr2420]

💯 my favorite as well. The lyrics really get to me. FLAF is a power ballad that pulls back enough to spotlight Marie's vocal. Gone way too soon. 🎉

[@johnupholz512]

Roxette is one of those groups that is so enjoyable to listen to. RIP Marie.

[@mallardtheduck406]

I miss when they played these type of songs on the radio..."Must've been Love" by Roxette was my favorite. Getting Older Sucks! Her death shocked me, she was a beautiful woman and her voice was Awesome...Love Ya Guy's!!! God Bless You!!

[@jedislap8726]

You just aren't listening to the right stations.

[@sexysadie2901]

She was sick for a long time with that brain tumor. Lived long enough for her children to at least have some personal memories of her. Very sad & such a beautiful voice.

[@ronlawrence5021]

I'm an old guy. I always enjoy young people discovering music from my era. And these two kids are my absolute favorites in terms of watching their reactions. They are both so real, genuine, and wholesome. Kinda makes me feel there's hope for us yet!

[@jesspearson9280]

Crash! Boom! Bang! and Almost Unreal are two of my favourite Roxette songs ❤

[@thehoogard]

Love crash, boom, bang. It deserves more attention :)

[@magicmike7198]

Concerning ''Almost Unreal'', since she's singing the words ''Hocus Pocus'' in the chorus, i always prefer to name it that (''Hocus Pocus''). ''I love when you that hocus pocus to me...''

[@ellessandraramsay1841]

It's my fav song of theirs. So good.

[@AgenteusaRR]

"Spending my time" I still dont understand why its so underrated, really shows Marie's range

[@pickboaa]

Spending my time is definitely one of my favorite ones.

[@ponki91002]

This song is so beautiful. Marie's voice was so powerful

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, their "Dangerous" was another top 10 hit.

[@sophiefairbanks1412]

I love the song Dangerous and haven't heard it for years!

[@stevehamilton8824]

RIP Marie! You were a beautiful soul and amazing talent. This is off the JOYRIDE album, their second release after LOOK SHARP. They showed the world they had the talent to keep it going. Love this band and their music.

[@Galactiquities]

Joyride was their 3rd album, Look Sharp their 2nd. Their debut album was Pearls Of Passion released in 1986.

@stevehamilton8824 yes, here in the UK Look Sharp! was technically the first album, released here in 1989. Someone else pointed out it was actually their second album so I thought I'd list them all in order.

[@andrewmimnaugh461]

This is my favorite by them. So underrated. Even this only has 17K after 3 days. I blast this and speed up in the car.

[@JT-ok6re]

Wow one of the best voices to come out of Sweden! Marie Fredriksson she has this beautiful haunting voice. She is a great loss to the music.

[@callelindstrom4341]

One of their underrated songs is ”Almost Unreal” from the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie.

[@davidroyston1918]

My favorite song by Roxette! RIP Marie, gone way too soon XOXO

[@jackie_jrml]

Have you done Dangerous?? That’s another one. The vocals you are looking for I think. Gosh she is super stunning. I wanted to look like her when I was 12 😂 So sad she’s no longer with us.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

No they haven’t

[@MikeR773]

Dangerous is one of the best Roxette vocals all around for both Per and Marie. Great song.

[@tobiasfunke9473]

An absolutely awesome song! It's got an equally amazing twin of a song called "Spending my Time". Give it a check

[@blanelltallur1]

"SPENDING MY TIME" "DRESSED FOR SUCCESS" "DANGEROUS" all great songs by Roxette!❤

[@allieren]

Man, I haven’t heard this song in years and years. I forgot how much I loved Roxette back in junior high. “Joyride” was my favorite, which I know you’ve already done, but I liked everything I heard from them.

[@DaniBlazin]

Roxette is my metalhead friend’s not-so-secret favourite band! 😆 🎸

I love their rocky songs most. My faves are "Sleeping in my car" and "She doesn't live here anymore". If you want to hear all the beauty of Marie's voice, you should listen to "Do you get excited". Love your Roxette reactions ❤

[@melissakondek6370]

Spending My Time is my all time fave please check it out! Love how y’all love Roxette they were phenomenal can’t believe she’s gone

[@joannetyndall3625]

My favourite too x

[@mhaynes8192]

Marie and Dolores were two massively talented singers in rock. I miss both of them. I saw Roxette on their one US tour when I was a teenager, wish so much that they’d maintained some popularity in the Us so I could have seen them again. This has always been a favorite song for me.

[@ZillaMesh]

Best Roxette song EVER. THANKS for doing this reaction. My 🙏 has been answered.

[@BadMoonandStars]

I forgot to say, Frida from ABBA has a duet she made with Marie from Roxette. Its called Alla Mina Bästa År (all my best years). It's a nice track.

[@piotrkucharski1060]

Roxette. My favorite band of my childhood. Other great songs to recommend: Wish I could Fly, How Do You Do, Crash Boom Bang and Sleeping in my Car.

[@celine4evauk]

This one is just pure pop!! PLEASE do Do You Get Excited next??!! Pretty please!! :)

[@TheNotedHero]

"Paint" from their second album is one of my favorite songs of theirs, definitely worth a listen at some point.

[@stevenedwards5356]

I always loved that song so much! I had the tape and listened to it over and over and over❤️

[@TheNotedHero]

@@stevenedwards5356 I had the LP and did the same! The old days of buying an album and sitting down and doing nothing but listening to the whole thing a bunch of times. I think streaming has ruined that experience a bit, despite all of its advantages. That, and this whole adulting business :p

[@JamieKarek]

Yes! Also Sleeping Single

[@travistaylor5000]

Paint is a great song. Should have been a hit in the U.S.

[@reactingtoacting]

So glad you guys got to this song, it's probably my favorite from Roxette. The video is epic! Especially the shots of my man up in the Stockholm City Hall tearing up that guitar.

[@chrishawley1898]

There’s a good reason why there greatest hits was called ‘Don’t bore us get to the chorus’. Absolutely brilliant band

[@michaelp2776]

One of my favorite Roxette songs. RIP Marie.

[@jeffreyquartier3071]

You should also check out Crash! Boom! Bang!, a gorgeous ballad by Roxette!

[@CrisVu-d9o]

It should also be noted that she returned to touring with Roxette after her first battle with cancer, very admirable and courageous.

You can never go wrong with Roxette. They got me through some heartbreaks in my teens.

I love this band all the way back to when my memory starts. Dangerous and the Look were iconic songs. The dude in this band is way talented too

[@lukeb1042]

Saw them in Concert twice. Great great live show!

[@mghezzi]

I grew up listening to her solo albums before she hit it big internationally with Roxette. GOAT. R.I.P.

[@dinholondres]

Massive duo for years and years. They have at least 20 hits is Europe and South America. Her voice is so unique and their talent to create great pop/rock songs is just unbelievable. Still a favourite for sure! ❤

[@davidpalahinjak8954]

Killer Guitar Solo! 😎🔥🤘🎸

[@martinodendaal1703]

This song was HUGE all over the world. It was in the charts here in South Africa for almost a year. It reached #2 in USA back then. Marie Fredriksson's voice can strip paint off the walls, and at the same time seduce a kitten. She just had it all. Marie looking super sexy in this video, that was actually shot in Stockholm. Fantastic song!!!

[@davidpalahinjak8954]

My favourite Roxette song of all-time! 😎🔥🤘🎸

[@FAFO4wisdom]

The most criminally underrated band of all time. Every song they recorded was a banger. Were talking 200 + songs. They didnt have any bad ones. Some took a bit to warm up to but once you did, the brilliance shined through without fail. Rest in peace Marie and Pele. Marie was my first celebrity crush and to this day, Roxette is my all time favorite pop band. ♥️♥️♥️ If you really wanna hear her vocal range, Soul Deep. That's the song to start with then Cry.

[@roxerforlife3663]

Oh yep Cry is ❤ Soul Deep is Amazing. Esp during Zurich concert. Hell !! A Fantastic 10 minutes of pure talent on show ❤

[@Bekka_Noyb]

my fave Roxette song! ♥

[@BadMoonandStars]

Sooo happy you decided to do Roxette again! Like others have said Dangerous is a great track and Dressed for Success. Or Anyone is an absolutely beautiful track. Not sure it was released as a single in the US? But it's a masterpiece! There are some really great album tracks, so perhaps you could react to a live performance? Hotblooded would be a good one. Someone has uploaded a 4K version.

[@paulguthrie4857]

The backing vocals make this song for me. Awesome song, awesome group! Hot Blooded is a fun song, Soul Deep is a motown throwback

[@roxerforlife3663]

Love those two songs. Soul deep from Zurich concert is amazing, around 10 minutes long and Marie and Jonas on Top form 😊❤

[@888suzz]

Love this song with Roxette. The mix between soft and rock in their ballads gives them such power.

[@lyndaclark344]

Dressed for success is a great song!!

[@Rockin_Stroll]

They have a best of album called "Don't bore us, get to the chorus". And this is a great example of how powerful their chorus' and hooks were. One of the greats, by far.

this was my first exposure to Rox. So glad RSS has reviewed a bunch of their songs to expose to the younger people. The group has a lot of underrated hits that never hit in the U.S. as much. 747, Nothing On But the Radio, One Wish, Wish I Could Fly, to name a few.

Roxette is one of Sweden's biggest music bands and had a lot of hits in the 90s. Most of their songs were pop but some of them have really good rock rhythms.

Marie sits alongside Dolores (Cranberries) as one of the very best of us. An incredible voice, pure musical talent and a genuinely warm, caring human being.

[@sonofthesea3298]

A magical duo from Sweden,Marie Frediksson will defintly go down in history as one of the most iconic voices in modern pop/rock. I do consider them a pop duo,but they have songs that are defintly stepping into the pop-rock sub genre. A really good example there is an early hit of theyrs called The Look. So sad to see Roxette come to an end because of the worst thing i can possibly think of today: cancer. I still remember how destroyed Per Gessle was when he had to give a statement about her passing. She had been battling it for years,so they sort of knew it was coming. But you can never be prepared for such a thing,when it happens. If you havent done The Look yet,i highly recommend it. Its by far my favourite Roxette song!
