First time Hearing Teddy Swims - I Can't Make You Love ME |REACTION * TOTALLY UNEXPECTED*

[@pamelawilliams4923]

Same here never heard of Teddy Swims . I have been around for a long time. WOW

[@driftinso]

Me too.

[@mariejustme]

That’s a Bonnie Raitt cover released in 1991. I’ve never heard of Teddy Swims but wow can he sing! Thanks for turning me on to him. ❤️

[@donnagonatas3155]

Bonnie Raitt is a good one for female friday! Bonnie is amazing ❤

[@mariejustme]

@@donnagonatas3155 I suggested that sometime or other. Lol. I saw her live, luckily in the front row, and she blew my mind. That was in 1993. Her talent is immense.

[@kylierayner9258]

George Michael also does a beautiful cover of this song.

[@jonh.7661]

Prince and George Michael both did beautiful covers of this Bonnie Raitt song.

[@rickyslimkircharr2241]

Do his version of Sara's smile

[@dldd8778]

Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone"

[@Star_R666]

Agree - any Bill Withers song. You have to check out his documentary Still Bill

[@jacqueline4514]

Yes yes yes! 🙌

[@barbarakirsopp]

George Michael sings this beautifully

[@xadam2dudex]

One of my favorite songs

[@philbowyer874]

If you love this song as much as I do ( and all of Bill's tracks ) check out Matt Anderson's cover.

[@carolyncrawford5922]

His voice gave me pure chills when I heard him. This man's voice is amazing.

[@edchaput3577]

the line "I'll close my eyes, so I can not see the love that you don't feel when your holding me". is such a powerful verse.

[@pockynon]

This is when lyrics meant something- today, artists just throw a word in that makes no sense at all.

[@pockynon]

This is when lyrics meant something and will break your heart. aNowadays, entertainers just throw a word out thst makes absolutely no sense.

[@PANDADBD]

one of the most powerful lines in any song ive ever heard

[@nikkiseals9924]

I am a straight up metalhead and Teddy Swims just hits something in my soul. I love his voice so much. I have all of his videos mixed in to my metal playlist. You need to hear his new EP. It's awesome. I dance around the house to his song Broke.

[@carolbrown605]

This is how you know a song is great...30 years later and it stands the test of time.

[@joeypeacock1673]

Take that girl to a Teddy Swims concert. He is amazing. Another great song is a DJ Snake cover [ ft Justin Bieber] of Let Me Love You or a Chris Stapleton cover of Tennessee Whiskey. You can't go wrong with Teddy. His voice makes the women melt. Love the reaction. Stay safe.

[@sharonstuebi8181]

Im 68 and that BOYE make me have the feels! Omg have been following him for three years. Yall yungins though. I may be old and foggy but thats a Roberta Flack song from the early 70's isnt it? He is my FAVORITE singer of all time. Im hopin and prayin he comes to Peru

[@MommaCedarSt]

Mind blowing isn't he? Beautiful voice. He does a awesome job singing Tennessee Whiskey also.

[@debbieseymore481]

OMG. I wasn't expecting that voice. He's amazing. That was beautiful.

[@frankiethelamb1334]

This man is awesome what a voice. Close your eyes and you won't picture his face and this voice coming out of it.

[@amandajoy8666]

Teddy Swims has dropped his own album too. His newest single is called "Bed on Fire" its sooooo good.

[@wickedgreen8181]

He is so effortlessly amazing. Love everything he sings.

[@sandyleewhite]

Teddy's voice to me, is like smooth honey, slowly trickling down the rough edges of a beautiful Maple Tree 💗💗💗 I think the majority of us have felt this, at some point in our lives, & that Teddy, is able to open that memory, like it was yesterday, is something that makes Artists like Teddy, stand out 💞💞💞 Luv your reactions, so authentic & so real!!! 😊

[@joeymcbrayer]

I had never heard of Teddy Swims before this, but I’m so glad I watched this and got to learn about and become a fan of Teddy Swims. Thank you for doing this!

[@tennillegordon4768]

So excited y'all reacted to Teddy. When I saw Amber get emotional in last video I knew she would melt. Im the same way. He gives me Marvin Gay back in the day.

[@markt5746]

Thanks for helping me find this guy, Amazing!

[@gailgrandinetti1802]

Teddy Swims can sing any genre . He is great .You have to listen to more of him.

[@rosemaryguyton9835]

I love Teddy Swims. He sings a lot of cover songs. This is a Bonnie Rait song so listen to hers as well.

[@KTBroadcasting]

I stumbled onto Teddy Swims sometime during the pandemic and I've been hooked ever since! He's amazing and I love that he chooses songs to cover that are so outside of what you'd expect from a) a male b) someone who looks like him and c) any specific genre. He's just talented. Period. Full stop.

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Hey Jay and Amber...He does some awesome covers, Love Teddy, Beautifully done...Thanks guys, Peace

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

This is beautiful. Teddy Swims' voice is angelic. My son is an artist, but some are turned off by his tattoos and his look, but he has the biggest heart and so much love for people. You can never tell about someone until you know them.😀😀😀😀 Great reaction

[@lennygriffin1149]

Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the floor! I never heard of him either and was blown away. Knew the song by Bonnie Raitt but....OMG!

[@DonorFan]

Incredible talent. He's finally making a name for himself beyond You tube and has upcoming concert dates across the country.

[@elainegrant8859]

All I can say is WOW!♥️

[@annie-marie]

This killed me. I'm dead and writing this from the other side. Simply amazing.

[@Grymreefer]

Hi jay & amber , awesome reaction , first time hearing this for me as well . damn what a voice

[@2299jsimon]

Dude's bringing it from somewhere deep... moves your soul.

[@jenb1559]

He has the most amazing voice!

[@donald1379]

Teddy is one of the best singers ever....thanks for the reaction

[@patprescott1818]

Holy smokes !!!!! The first time for me hearing this and wow where have I been.

[@dahuffy]

Thank you for introducing me to someone new! What a voice.

[@beowulf1005]

He's got such a great smooth tone. Great cover of this Bonnie Raitt song. P.S. Always nice to see Amber!

[@davidlongo7391]

I've heard the song but WOW. What a voice. Great pick.

[@helimarg638]

I went to Teddy Swims concert january 2020 here in Toronto......it was AMAZING.......take her to a concert.....he's going to Vegas this year sometime....lol

[@Kim-hc5si]

It’s like Luther Vandross borrows his body every now and then. Just kinda drops in, sings directly to our hearts, thanks Teddy and then leaves. ❤️❤️❤️

[@kbbeers4274]

I know the song well but never heard of Teddy Swims. What a gem of a find! Great reaction. ♥️

[@kimhesketh2016]

I love Teddy Swim and his version of this song, however... This is Bonnie Raitt's song. Her version has a deeper level of sadness and pain. Not to mention Bruce Hornsby's sublime piano playing. Please react to her

[@sheilarideaux892]

🔥 Vocalist, Songwriter, GENIUS 🔥

[@GregPappasJr]

Among the greatest performances of any song... ever.

[@RameyRocks]

First time I heard of Teddy Swims he was singing this song and I was blown away! He's got a wonderful voice!!!

[@joannfravel6882]

Amber, you are so sweet. I just love the way you feel the emotion of the songs. I gravitate toward these songs as well.

[@patoconnor3774]

he sings with heart and soul

[@keithshowell6688]

Thank God for artist like Teddy Swims who cover the classic treasures as beautiful as Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" for a new generation to hear 20 years after it was released and written by Michael Reid and Allen Shamblin in 1990. Her album "Luck Of The Draw" won a Grammy in 1991.

[@arlievaughn]

I love Ambers reaction!!

[@brentcox7772]

Wow what voice!

[@willaroz]

Love me some Teddy

[@stephenhough4957]

Aw, Teddy is wonderful. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him twice in a year in Manchester and he dominated both venues. An absolute expert with covers but with several great songs of his own and he gives 💯 % at all times. He’s a star in the making. Bonnie’s song is just so raw, so well written & full of unrequited love that getting the right person to cover it is always going to be gold.

[@rubyroads5765]

I love teddy's "the door" now I will listen here w you 2 their next new song to me & u!!

[@donnabost4445]

This was a cover, but Teddy does it Beautifully!!!, He does so many, look them up you will love it!!

[@Grymrod]

Hey guys great to see you both , what a voice , hadn’t heard that before .

[@roberthendershott8972]

You absolutely have to do Make You Feel My Love. This song is on par with this one🤩👏👏

[@malainafalahee6416]

Just WOW love it 🎶

[@robertmartinez33]

That song is haunting wow great job

[@Trac489]

Teddy Swims is a star in my eyes, beautiful !!!!

[@carmenalvarez626]

Wow. I’ve heard this song before. However dammmm that man can sang!!! Wow thanks guys you just gave me homework. I gotta check out more on this artist!!!

[@realamerican5813]

Another great video! I am so glad you did a video with James! I have been watching you since that video. Jay, you have done a wonderful job with your channel and bringing Amber on just made it better!! Keep up the good job! ROCK ON!!

[@truittlilly3247]

I love watching the shock on folks faces when they first hear him sing .

[@AzDesertFoxx]

This song makes me cry on a good day; this rendition makes me cry too!

[@williamhardee4380]

Puts meaning to, " You cant judge a book by its cover".

[@shirleybuffington6420]

I was shocked the first time I heard him also

[@susanburns6698]

My son introduced me to Teddy Swims music a year ago. Just plain awesome - Picky, Broke, My Bad, House on Fire - his covers and originals are GREAT!

[@Victorious-hg8cc]

Teddy swims has been a star but with little recognition -- I love his voice

[@donaljolley8222]

Teddy Swims always makes me think of an old English sailor from a Napoleonic era ship stepping up to a microphone and slaying it with voice.

[@kimdelforge3102]

Anything I’ve heard him do is AMAZING!! He sings with his entire being!!

[@diverdiva78]

I'm so glad you reached to him 🥰

[@creative2716]

Teddy is bomb! He sings with such conviction.

[@margaretdusel2274]

Anything and everything this man sings is flawless ❤❤❤

[@jackbutler2989]

Teddy nailed it he da man....fire...bear hugs from Dublin Ireland love your reactions....

[@pamcoyer9582]

I found Teddy Swims music last summer. What a beautiful voice he has. Love this cover.

[@monicahope3615]

I love the reaction that every reaction video person has in the first 4 notes of the song. THAT'S how you know his voice is BLESSED.

[@gradyrocks]

His voice is smooth like Butter

[@westpacker9827]

Yes, velvety melted butter

[@ChrisHaar]

Teddy has so many great covers and originals. He's definitely worth spending some time on

[@iamadinfinitum]

One of the best reactions to this song that I've ever seen - great job!

[@Grumpy_Rabbit]

I'd never heard of this artist before, either. The voice is definitely noteworthy. Kudos for bringing this artist to our attention! Speaking of great voices: There are three upcoming talents of which you need to be made aware, and to which you should react. All three of them are "once-in-century" (at least) vocal prodigies, although they're all very different from each other: Angelina Jordan: The young girl with the golden voice of an angel, who sings with the ancient wisdom of the Moon Goddess and the all-knowing heart of an old soul. Diana Ankudinova: A primal force of nature, the River God's daughter, the shaman whose voice transports you into the spirit world. Dimash Kudaibergen: The Songbird At The Royal Court Of The Galactic Emperor, the man with the humble compassion of an Ascended Master, but whose voice can make grown men cry. Here are the songs I'd start with, for each of the three: Angelina Jordan: "I Put A Spell On You" => kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKipnaJ5hb2tedU In this performance, Angelina is 9 years old. She was born in January 2006. She had previously won Norway's Got Talent, at age 7. You can think of her as the reincarnation of Etta James, but even that is an understatement. She signed with Republic Records in August 2020. You'll note she's not wearing shoes in this video. She never does when performing, and you should definitely look up the story behind that. What distinguishes Angelina from anyone else is her ability to comprehend the lyrics of the songs she chooses to sing in a very deep, mature, insightful way, and then to communicate that understanding to the audience by her intonation, timing, phrasing, inflection, vibrato, raspiness and vocal fry, and also by way of precise, professional control over her vocal chords, larynx, pharynx, tongue, mouth, breath and body. She wields all those tools with inhuman skill, like a grandmaster artist worthy of performing at the court of the Galactic Emperor. Angelina sings without affectation. She's not a drama queen: There is no overacting. She's not a show off. She doesn't include unnecessary runs, nor belt out bars solely to highlight her singing ability. Every vocal tool or effect she uses naturally and organically belongs where she puts it, because the song needs it to be there, whether that's for musicality or in order to communicate the song's message. Diana Ankudinova: "Wicked Game" (Cover of the Chris Isaac song, so the lyrics are in English) => kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZvZXneHo8tli7s In this performance, Diana is 14 years old, and is performing in the semi-final of the Russian talent show "You're Super!" The show is produced by Igor Krutoy, a famous Russian composer, who is also one of the judges. Igor also collaborates with Dimash Kudaibergen. Her native vocal register is known as "contralto"--which is quite rare. Dimash Kudaibergen: "SOS d'un terrien en detresse" ("SOS of a ground dweller in distress"; the lyrics are in French) => kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXTamo2ae99padk In this performance, Dimash is singing as an invited contestant on a mainland Chinese talent show ("The Singer") that features professional singers as the contestants. It was his first performance outside of his native country, Kazakhstan. And he was the first singer on the first episode of the season. The audience had never heard of him before. He was 23 years old at the time, in 2017. After this performance, they had to get him bodyguards (for the first time in his life,) and he became a national sensation in China. Pronunciations (stress goes on the syllables that are in all caps): Dimash Kudaibergen: Dee MOSH Koo dye bear GHENN Diana Ankudinova: Dee ON uh On koo DEEN ah vuh

[@blakewestwood8096]

You must be their agent.

[@Grumpy_Rabbit]

@@blakewestwood8096 I wish!

[@grapplergirl10]

Yeah, teddy, with a voice and heart like that you can make everybody love you! ❤️

[@anthonylewis62]

SO SO GLAD, YOU CHOSE THIS FINALLY, HE IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Star_R666]

You'd never expect that voice. He's incredible. My fav version is by Bonnie Raitt - she's so soulful and is an amazing slide guitar player.

[@patsingleton-young4385]

Teddy is amazing. You have to listen to more of him!

[@annettemurray1594]

Thanks guys 😁, teddy swims is amazing 🤩

[@jennhurl]

I absolutely LOVE Teddy! He is the cover KING! He can take any song & completely put his hot soul vibe on it. I'm SO GLAD you reacted to him!! He covered Mario "Let Me Love You" & honestly - his is BETTER!!!! His version of "Tennessee Whiskey", Michael Jackson "Rock With You", shoot he even recently covered Billie Eilish. He ALWAYS puts his magic spin on music.

[@chrisaguilar1410]

Sorry but his “Let Me Love You” version is not better than the original lol. A fantastic cover but still doesn’t compete.

[@andyskurna1407]

Thank you, for introducing me to another amazing talent! This was a huge hit for Bonnie Raitt, who just so happened to be the daughter of actor John Raitt. Teddy does a very good job of carrying on the tradition of singing this song with just the right amount of southern blues influence.

[@LuckyLarry]

Y’all owe it to yourselves to listen to Bonnie Raitt…..Bruce Hornsby piano playing on her version will require a tissue. Teddy did strike Gold as you said….Bonnie’s version is Platinum….for all I know it maybe did hit platinum ….love thisnchannel ….

[@carolineallen6842]

Absolutely!

[@claycastile3135]

I just started watching you guy's reaction. I love you both. I love your reaction to good music/songs.

[@djmir84]

She gave him that side eye at 6:44 I peeped 🤣 Teddy got people out here falling in love. #feelgoodmusic#soul

[@reshaud81]

Teddy Swims cover songs to react to: Adele's Make You Feel My Love, Billie Eilish's Idontwannabeyouanymore, Michael Jackson's Rock With You, Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, Mario's Let Me Love You, Amy Winehouse's Valarie, his cover songs are endless. He has his own songs as well!

[@Sgt_MoDog_USMC]

Y'all definitely need to get on the Teddy Train!!! That boy is dope as hell !!!

[@anitacarr4834]

Set the bed on fire is another great one he sings . I just love this man's voice

[@idahohoosier8989]

All Teddy's covers are sweet and pure!

[@roannably9708]

Omg!! Teddy Swims really? He's down to earth and a natural. Thank you so much can you react to Teddy Swims singing SOMEONE TO LOVE ( Lewis Capaldi cover) 😍😍 this one's my fav

[@MEGALOCKDOWN]

Man When i did my 1st reaction on him it's was like you. God bless your channel

[@jennhurl]

Hey guys! Be SURE to listen to the original - even if you don't do a reaction. Teddy kills this but there is no substitute for one of our greatest femal vocalists & guitartist Bonnie Raitt. Her voice is equally as haunting & longing. This is a big song - be sure to check it out & see why Teddy wanted to cover it.

[@tinymossdragon1508]

Yeah please listen to to original version. Its so, so powerful. This is a beautiful cover. You can hear the soul in his voice. His heart is in his voice.

[@AnointedSong]

My 2 favorite versions are Bonnie's and Teddy's. I refuse to choose between them so she's fav female and he's fav male.

[@davidsullivan6177]

You have to see him live he does so many covers and he is awesome

[@agdtec]

Bonnie Raitt is a fantastic Guitar player forget female she is great regardless of gender.

[@redalex8794]

Bonnie did the first version beautifully. But, she didn’t write it- no shade, I love her. And about Teddy, I thinks he’s done the best male version. Go check out his original video “ Bed on Fire”. So cool.

[@jasonlindanasir5740]

I love teddy he has the most amazing voice x
