I FEEL IT!! | Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Video) REACTION!!

[@DeanBros]

Never knew Rick!!! This was a fun one ☝️

[@laminage]

When people first heard him they thought he was a Tall Black Guy from Chicago. In the 1980's most notably from 1983-1986 The Brits were next to Australia the hottest music import. This Song went to Number One and the folks who wrote it were Matthew Stock, Scott Aitken, and Pete Waterman who is now a Legend on The UK Music Scene, Simon Cowell used to follow him around like a puppet wanting to get his foot in the door. Those Guys were the hottest Songwriting Team in the UK in the 1980's. They also worked with Dead Or Alive (You Spin Me Round) that Flo Rida later Sampled as well as Venus by Banarama who not only were the First Girlband from teh UK to go to Number One in the US kicked the door open for future UK Girlbands. They also wrote Say I'm You're Number One for Princess and in later Years Pete helped launch the Careers of Steps 1996-2001 and Girls Aloud on Popstars The Rivals in 2002.

You both been rickrolled!! haha

[@gocoelho4579]

I am a Brazilian that I am subscribed to the channel and I will suggest some bands with very dancing songs. Search youtube, Modern Talking, Bad Boy Blues, Alphaville, Erause, R.E.M and Pet shop boys ...

[@bullymaguire1542]

You didn't know rick but you rick rolled yourself😂

[@mallaka8]

This was a massive hit in the 80s. He had a string of number 1 hits. He is such a lovely guy. He is still recording music today.

[@jacobmassey3897]

And still has this incredible unique voice.

[@bullymaguire1542]

Means you got rick rolled?

[@wendybishop4582]

This was in the 80is and was number 1 here in the UK and he still singing today

[@harrismiller1948]

We knew how to rock in Britain back in the day

[@ThatColeGuy]

This is the source of music when you're getting Rick-rolled.

[@crusher1980]

They rickrolled themselves :P.

[@prprod]

This is the 80's song that blew everyone away. Everyone first heard this on the radio then when the video hit everyones jaw hit the floor!!!! I don't care what race, nationality, or creed you are, when you first saw the vid your jaw dropped!!!!! Instead of a big burly black man here was this skinny, geeky, white boy with the most amazing voice. Definitely a mind fu%#.

[@fernand_ducci]

I haven't been Rick-Rolled in years 😆 This song is exactly why it was used in pretty much the first meme ever. No one ever thought the voice matched the guy. It's why Getting Rick-Rolled was so funny.

[@j20tower]

Need more Rick. “Together Forever”. That was his first big hit. Thx

[@j20tower]

@Xcuze it was the first song that people remember. I never heard of him till Together Forever

[@gwillis01]

I agree that "Together Forever" is a good song

[@athleticguy15]

In the US, Never Gonna Give You Up was Rick's first big hit, Together Forever was his second.

[@j20tower]

@@athleticguy15 I think your right but Together Forever is my favorite

[@athleticguy15]

@@j20tower I like almost anything he has ever recorded.

[@Zenlatin]

I remember when this came out and my mom heard it. She was head over heals for this song. I gotta admit, even us metal heads were impressed with his voice.

[@dolphin8077]

Remembering my teenager era the 80' best years for music

[@BanduTheGreat]

As a teenager in the 90s, I respectfully disagree.

[@rickboltz5059]

You called it man!! The voice doesn’t even come close to what he looks like! Which is great.👍🤪

[@BanduTheGreat]

I love it when children discover older artists. That was entertaining.

[@joyparry9354]

Rick Astley is the classic example of why we should all be wary of stereotyping! I was totally stunned by seeing Rick after hearing the song ... he is a total Soul singer :)

[@lutdesimpelaere2947]

Don’t worry, everybody initially thinks this is a black man singing. Fun song. A classic

[@dieselcowboy777]

No they don't...lol

[@Bazza5000]

I am not sure I thought that, but I can definitely see that. I didn't really think that in the 80s, but he does sound soulful.

[@lepmuhangpa]

@@dieselcowboy777 A lot of people do, trust me. Especially back then where radio was very popular.

[@sexysadie2901]

[@aliamvickersfan2388]

I don't

[@Angel-vg2zf]

Rick Astley still sings today. Still sounds phenomenal and he still have the sweet soulful suave moves!!

[@king_halcyon]

A very good way to put it

[@roymathis1971]

They've just been Rick Rolled ladies and gentlemen and they like it.🤣

[@MiguelRodriguez-zd6tq]

Everyone thought he was black b4 we actually got to see him. That was the 80s, my friend, no autotune technology. Just pure talent.

[@kacebox174]

Listening to this song and watching this music video for the first time is like losing your innocence to the happiest of beats.

[@aprildavis-washington5734]

It is really him singing. Watch his live performances too. He was about 20 when he did this in 1988, now he's in his 50's, and he's British. He still sings today. He has had such hits as: Together Forever, It Would Take A Strong Man, She Wants To Dance With Me, Hopelessly and Cry For Help, etc...

[@gina3498]

I had a walkman in the 80's and i blasted my rick astley tape cassete non stop.he's an amazing singer

[@jamiehadley6600]

I think its so cool you guys are checking out all kinds of good tunes from different eras. Yous got great taste in music. All the best to yous and stay safe down there, cheers.

[@chrisf.7980]

Yeah, it was a real surprise to us too at the time, when we saw the video to this song after you heard it on the radio. Just like Steve Perry, this guy sounds just as good live as well (STILL!). Seems to be a really great, well grounded guy that managed to get through the "fame" thing unscathed. Awesome to see that!

[@jillbrown1276]

Love seeing your guys grooving to some ‘80’s music. This is a fun dance song!

[@HighOnLife1985]

You and millions of other people had NO idea that voice belonged to him like this. You want a real awesome video to see, this guy starred on stage with the Foo Fighters. Really worth checking out, and yes, they DO perform this song.

[@jefflee2698]

You have been ric rolled

[@chaosultimamage]

the whole idea of "rick-roll" never mattered to me, cuz it's just such a good fuckin song.

[@alexfletcher5192]

In an age of shrinking social mobility in the UK it's worth pointing out that Rick was essentially the tea boy or gofer at Stock Aitken & Waterman's studios - which operated a bubblegum pop production line in Britain, with some success abroad. His credibility, as a result, was nil from the outset. However, he has kept the voice and now he almost feels like a soul giant!

[@chaoticazan6363]

Everyone was shocked when he popped up. Most were thinking..we didn't expect a red-head!! lol His voice is so beautiful. Check out Cry For Help for a different beat. Just as beautiful!

[@joycewalbert1413]

It's not a racial slur to say somebody sounds black! It's a COMPLIMENT! Love you two! Great review!

[@TempleOfEnki]

Best of everything to you both! Born in 73, you have so much great music to discover! youtube just asked me to rate this video. I gave it an EXCELLENT!

[@juliantcasaigne3858]

Sooo smoooth how he opened his jacket and pointed to his heart real quick!

[@LLgirl-nyk]

Everyone has that reaction when he came out singing. The same reaction as with Michael mcdonald too

[@milkman940]

Fun Fact you may have not known: Rick Astley was actually born in the Newton-le-Willows in the uk

[@jamespasifull3424]

You wanna check out his recent stuff He's matured brilliantly, & his songwriting is so much better, now he's in his 50's😁

[@MightMouse2174]

Imagine our surprise when this song came out back in the day !!! We were expecting a big black dude and its howdy doody...but its still a classic song even though some front like they don't like it

[@bluewolf5925]

The two best smiles in the reaction business. Keep on keeping on.

[@Scubaguy80]

I love the look on peoples faces when they see this is a little white dude with red hair. One minute you would be making fun of this guy somewhere and then after he sings he's leaving with your girl! LMAO

[@johannadavis7594]

Congratulations! You’ve been Rick Rolled! It’s a thing…

[@scottvanhille5688]

Most people who have heard this song for the first time and never saw the video would assume he's black. It's the same for the song "I can dream about you." Listen to Stacey Q's "Two of Hearts" from 1988.

[@Archon1995]

Rick was deep into R&B and soul growing up so he learned to sing like them. :-)

Rick was 21 when he sang this song 😁 it was number one in 25 Countries 😁 he sounds and looks amazing now 👍🏻😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@user-gt2uf8cq9y]

His full deep voice is shown off even better on "It Would Take a Strong Strong Man"

[@alphaomega7191]

Weirdly he basically got his start largely by accident - he was the drummer in a band whose singer left so he took over the duties. Peter Waterman heard him and liked his voice and offered him a job working for Stock Aitken Waterman largely to do odd jobs, mic checks, setting up equipment (and legendarily making the tea) etc with the potential of using him as a studio musician and backing singer. Nobody really expected him to be a solo artist. Then they realised when he was doing the mic checks etc that his voice was really, really good and that he might be able to disprove the notion that all the SAW acts were bad singers whose vocals were all manipulated until they sounded good thanks to studio enginering and so rolled the dice with him.

[@htbald1]

Rick Astley was an amazing singer! The problem was at the time, how to market this cute white boy with this soulful voice, same thing happened to Lisa Stansfield " all around the world", another great 80s singer who didn't get the love from America she should have because they didn't know how to market her either. Nowadays it doesn't matter what color you are or what music you do, it's easier to find a market for it because of the internet.

[@mazlanbasharudin3764]
