FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Blue Man Group | "I Feel Love"

[@lamusiclover2264]

This is a cover of a CLASSIC song of ALL Time by Donna Summer......considered to be the first EDM hit song...which came out in 1977., No one had heard anything like it. The original is a trip to listen to, even today it sounds modern!

[@brittreacts]

Oh wow! I gotta check that out!

[@JaxMerrick]

You were right in that Lil Jon (along with Twista and Trick Daddy) did a song called "Let's Go", but the original rythym came from Ozzy Osbourne and his song " Crazy Train". The instruments you see the Blue Men playing is literally PVC pipes that are tuned to lengths to act as an instrument when struck with foam paddles. A lot of their instruments are made from PVC (PVC Instrument, Tubulum from the intro, and another called the Drumbone).

There are many Blue Man Groups, 75+ members, as of 2022. There's a World Tour, Japan Tour and a US tour, underway. Plus Groups based in Boston, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, Berlin and Shanghai. Each group has 6 men and they only play in a group of 3.

[@juliagrant3299]

And it all started at a tiny theater in NYC Yiu hoped a fire didn't start. They are amazing in person

[@travislwoodward7780]

She is Annette Strean from the synth band Venus Hum, who also back her in this performance. They're still making music but a few of their earliest hits include "Hummingbirds" "Montana" and "Soul Sloshing" She's always smiling and always having fun. Thanks for the reaction 🙂

Blue Man Group is a performance art group that started in New York. The basic story is that the Blue Men are mutes who express themselves through music and art. The original three members, I believe, have retired from touring, but do help compose the music for the group. They have other members portraying the Blue Men. As you can see from the video, they like to use unusual instruments, including PVC pipes, large drums, and grand pianos places on their side with tuned strings that are hit with a mallet. BMG has residencies in about 5 cites in the U.S., and other cities worldwide. The clip you saw was from their "How to Be a Megastar Tour" featuring music from their second album The Complex. This album included guest singers, unlike their first album which was all instrumental. Some other videos of theirs you might want to check out (most from the Megastar tour) include "Blue Man Group - Baba O'Riley (The Who Cover)" (aleyavu YT Channel), "Blue Man Group - Up To The Roof" (LIve Sound YT Channel), "Blue Man Group Rods and Cones from Venetian (HQ)" (bluemangroupsurrey YT channel), "Blue Man Group - Drumbone" (Анатолий Цивилёв YT Channel), and "Blue Man Group - The Current (Official Music Video)" (features Gavin Rosedale from the band Bush). There's a Behind the Scenes video called "What It Takes To Be A Blue Man" from the Insider YT channel that takes a look at BMG.

My step-daughter worked for the BMG at Universal Studios in Orlando. She was a costumer. The blue was combination of blue material and blue paint. I’ve been to several performances, and even Guested one of the “Captains” with a complementary weekend at WDW for his marriage anniversary. Respect.

[@mentalwedgee]

BMG is not just a concert, it is like having your brain smashed with a gold brick!

[@JBEEUD]

and on impact the gold brick explodes into confetti 😂

[@Tampahop]

I thought it was "having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick." Oh wait, that's a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Never-mind.

[@Ashwgun]

​@@TampahopBeat me to it 😂

[@lazaruslong8092]

Blue Man Group does great combination of music, theater and comedy. Wide range of routines. Time to jump into that rabbit hole!

[@brittreacts]

I’ll look into it!

[@Bushman4]

They are whacking different length PVC pipes with rubber paddles. They are each tuned to a different note. This show is still live in Boston every weekend.

[@eviljbrian]

The Blue Man Group are insane creative. The white thing they're playing is called a "Slapaphone" which are basically PVC pipes cut and tuned to the notes they need. They play it VERY well, and through the video, you can see the guys swapping out on the rythm (the far right side) of the pipes. For another demonstration of the slapaphone, look up Blue Man Group's Drumbone video. The costumes they wear consists of black shirts and pants, blue gloves, and their faces are covered in blue grease paint, in order to keep their anonymity. The often use paint in thier shows for a visual effect, which for that is essentially colored liquid like water. There's usually only three Blue Men in a show, but they have auditions to find others that is able to perform with them. For a bit of history, they did commercials a while back for Penitum processors, in the late 90's and early 2000's Most of their shows are at certain venues, they haven't toured since I want to say the mid 2010's, if not earlier. But they do have The Blue Man Group experience at certain locations where they perform regularly, with one such location being the Luxor out in Vegas. They also have a theatre in Orlando Florida, that's part of Universal Studios Florida and used to be part of the Nickelodeon Studios before it was shut down.

[@robklinky6474]

First song was, Whip it by Devo. Second was Crazy train by Ozzy Ossbourne.Third was, I feel love by Donna Summer

[@brittreacts]

Thank you!!!

[@mindigd]

They do post warnings at their shows regarding flashing lights. It's a really fun time.

[@matthewsuchomski2593]

the original song that goes "dundun, *dundun* dundun dundun, ay ay ay ay" is called "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Ozborne.

[@12337will]

I'm glad Google decided to translate your post to english for me.

Ive seen them live 3 times. Such a entertaining show.

[@peggyradeck9140]

I love Blue Man Group. I saw them in Vegas once. We got to be seated in the 4th row center. The first 4 rows all get rain gear to wear because the paint splashes that far off the stage. They are fabulous.

[@kellybasham3113]

No, dear. Don't process it. Just enjoy it.

[@brittreacts]

You are right!!

[@tweevers2]

The wood rattle instrument is called a 'vibra Slap II' ...made by the Latin Percussion company. One slaps or depresses the ball end and it quickly vibrates back through the metal wire and rattles the bottom end wooden block which houses metal teeth in it,creating a chattering sound

[@markduff7722]

Love the Blue Man Group. Saw them in Orlando when visiting Universal in 2016. The show alone was worth traveling from the UK to the US.

[@doughaviland1729]

Their production number of BABA O'REILLY by the WHO is EPIC! Jon Bonhams daughter sings and plays electric Violin!❤

[@julianfarrall8963]

There's a version of I feel love by the blue man group featuring the vocals of Katherine Jenkins, professional opera singer, her vocals lift the song to a whole new level.

[@kristinmudra8553]

Blue Man Group is an EXPERIENCE! It's comedy, it's music, it's magic - it's so fun! Seen them 3 times with my kids. Look up their Cap'n Crunch routine! It's a bunch of guys - they tour and have residence shows in different locations. You are one of my favorite reactors!

[@gregstilwell7760]

In the words of Douglas Adams "it's like having your brains smashed by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick "

[@roberttaylor8264]

the second song is crazy train by Ozzy Osbourne in 1980 which was sampled by trick Daddy featuring Lil Jon and Twista let's Go The instrument that they're playing is called a slap a phone

[@bobblundell2281]

I was at one of their shows in Vegas many yrs ago , totally awesome the video doesn't do it justice , my body was still busing a day after the show .

[@vanessahand]

My husband worked crew on this group in 2002. I got to go along. It's not a concert, it's an experience! No warnings or things that I remember, just euphoria when the paint was on the drums

[@CamppattonFamilyCompound]

The first song was "Whip It" by Devo

[@WillAlder]

I've seen Blue Man Group three times in Vegas. The last time I was cross-faded on some potent potables and enhancing edibles 😄. I assure you, it's far more chaotic and random than it seems from this little clip. The show is delightful, and you should catch it if you get a chance. Also yes, they do warn you about possible triggers from the lighting and stuff.

[@Diesal3]

You were overloaded sitting at your computer watching, imagine being there! I would love to see that live.

[@mikejenson757]

You can watch the whole concert on KZbin of which I do recommend. It's just a good fun time with good music.

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

"Drumbone" is really cool by these guys too! They're all blue and look the same, and they don't use names. So that no one in the group can stand out as an individual.

[@patmanowen3301]

Blue man is awesome live. They came to my area and played in Moline Illinois a couple of times.

[@carolc3833]

They have at least 4 groups. They are invlas vegas, chicago, i think another city and a group that tours. That the way it was back in the early 2000's.

[@kanadiankorner]

If you have not covered Donna Summer, I feel Love you must. I'd be shocked if you have not. It's a defining momemt of 70s music. She's just other worldly... ❤ And the song holds up strong to this very day. The singer in BMG is definitely strong enough to give it a faithful rendition with a twist.

[@wesrrowlands8309]

I remember when the original guys showed up and caught on, people's minds were blown that they were playing pvc pipe.

[@Renovion]

The think with the clicking item.. that is the start of Crazy Train - Ozzy Osborn :) I have always wanted to go to one of their events.. I am photosensitive and know it would knock me on my butt.

[@johnboydTx]

Baba O'Riley a WHO cover 👏 My Favorite BMG song ✌️💙

[@dennislee5524]

Britt, I saw them in the 1980’s in NYC! I believe it was in the LES!

[@dwhite849]

They are with tickets to see in person

[@bard682]

You heard let's go by Trick Daddy. The crowd heard crazy train by Ozzy Osbourne.

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

About a month ago, Drumeo had Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) with the Blue Man Group listening to, and playing "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance. I'm not a huge fan of MCR, but that was a phenomenal episode!

[@J1ntu]

They are very fun to see live! Heads up though, if you don't want to be potentially selected to be a part of their show, don't wear blue lol

[@danhelphrey6260]

I love the Donna Summer original and the Blondie cover, but this may be my favorite version of this song.

[@gregstilwell7760]

"What am I watching?....It's lip gloss"

[@loveloochay]

A lot of reactors use the term , "sampling" as if it is a skill. I like talent , all kinds of talent.

[@mikehood5210]

BMG is awesome. just go see at some point. its a Blue Man experience.

[@trevorleggo1777]

Donna Summer, I Feel Love !!

[@kerryjohnson4328]

They have Blue Man try outs. I believe there is even a woman as a blue man now.

[@andie361]

I saw then in NYC and they are amazing!

[@andie361]

Oh and yes there is a flashing light warning for people with seizures.

[@andie361]

And there’s troupes of them..this one Is in Las Vegas. I saw The nyc group and yes they’re “anonymous”. This sign autographs which is their blue fingerprint, lol

[@andie361]

They literally press their finger on the paper, lol

[@brittreacts]

So lucky!

[@loveloochay]

It was Ozzy Osbourne .... NOT a rap song , well , of course it was a rap song that was sampled from Ozzy. See , Ozzy and his Rock and Roll band actually wrote the music. So .. Blue Man Group are covering the original by actually playing music on unique instruments. Sampling ... Is just using something that an actual artist created. These guys , actually have talent. They can actually make music.

[@chuckles5163]

STILL Cannot see the VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@debbywilkins2239]

Me either ! I don't understand. I watch other channels & can see the video clearly 🤷‍♀️
