I FELT EVERY EMOTION IN HIS VOICE | A HA - Take On Me (Live From MTV Unplugged) REACTION!

[@lizziebeth157]

You’ve never heard the original? I would love to see you react the the original music video! It’s so great. It’s quite different, but both versions are great in their own ways.

[@danajohnson1189]

This is a sweet version, the original is a pop version.

[@rondag.3761]

I totally agree! I do like this version but their original was so cool!

[@GinMae]

Yep - video won awards, too!

[@Pilutta100]

You need to see original

[@IchSaluki74]

The funny thing is, that when it came out I was a teen and the upbeat version really got me. Now - in my mif 40ties - seen a lot. lived a lot - this version is just right (and Morten is still handsome)

[@daverhoden445]

He KNOWS what he did. That's why he's smiling.

[@jonathan.s993]

His falsetto is amazing.

[@Minorellen]

He perfectly knows what he is doing )))) Natural born

[@lindaaumiller7592]

His voice grabs you and you enter his world.

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Never saw this before. Love the original, but this moved me

[@gregorylevanway3682]

Beautiful song. My wife loved it. I fight tears every time I hear it. Good reaction. This song aged like fine wine.

[@arielklay23]

Again, this song takes me back to my teen years in the '80's.

[@aburke0823]

You HAVE to listen to the original!!

[@kariemcneley3447]

Great song.

[@cherylwaite3255]

The Original is just as beautiful and faster pase both are equally beautiful

[@diddow.7457]

A-ha is a Norwegian pop group. They are popular since the 80‘s. This song came out 1985. it starts their world wide career. Morton Harket‘s voice is one of the best and awesome in the Pop Genre. The video clip to this song is epic.

[@markwebster7435]

The original version is know for its amazing video, which now has over 1.2 billion views. I’m 48 been an a-ha fan since I was 12. They are still going today.

[@kaybailey-jones3740]

Morten makes you connect to life my friend. 🥰

[@mandardesai]

Morten has the Most Beautiful Voice.

[@jefflee2698]

The music video is legendary

[@lours6993]

The fact that this touched your soul is evidence enough that you are a good man.

[@Elena-in6uw]

I agree

[@rondag.3761]

Billy- Please do the original when you have a chance. If you aren't able to, you have to at least watch it for yourself. P.S. I tried adding the link to it twice and it errors. It's an animated version. I just typed in the title and it came up as the second video.

[@thereseerickson7462]

First time hearing it live! Loved it! Much different than the original video. That is awesome also! You need to see it!

[@descendantoffools9767]

I remember the first time i heard this version after hearing the original fast pace song for decades and it instantly became my favorite version.

[@kj320175]

I cry during this version EVERY TIME!

[@Snowbunny1233]

You must listen to the original. I think it was one of the best 80s songs then I just recently heard this version and almost broke down. Actually I saw it in Deadpool 2. Then I saw this video last week. I could this song playing all day. The music video is really cool. Yeah his voice is like a angel. He is just amazing to have a voice that makes you feel emotions. This version does take you to a different place.

[@suemiller2522]

Same. Loved the original since it came out but never heard this version until Deadpool 2 and it makes me cry just about every time. Fantastic version.

[@delorespetree207]

Good voice

[@jamesstark2544]

I'll be 46 in a couple weeks and I remember hearing this when I was little kid and the acoustic version from MTV unplugged was just excellent

[@iddoAdam]

You should check out their song The Sun Always Shines on TV. the original is great (the start of the music video is actually a continuation to the original music video for Take On Me) and so is the version they performed featuring a singer named Ingrid Helene Havik at the same concert this video is from

[@MagnoliaMS70]

You soooo have to listen to the original! The video was 'cutting edge' at the time

[@natalieshicks7880]

Takes me back to dating and marrying the love of my life.

[@cherylwaite3255]

oh wow this is awesome loved this song as a teen and the official video is great, thanks Billy 😊

[@travisjustice3668]

This version is so hauntly good , the original is a must see

[@NightmareKhaos]

I have heard the original and it is nothing like this because the original song when they saying it was more pop this is more like emotional and beautiful and I love it

[@christinamitchell6796]

This is him currently but you gotta review the actual video he did back in the 80s. YOU WILL LOVE it!!! When I saw this version last year for the first time it penetrated my heart it really helps you connect to the lyrics verses the original. This version strips alot of the destraction so you can hear.

[@billholder1330]

Ahahaha! I got a good laugh from your after-commentary! "What a villian" - give the dude a break, he just bared his soul to all them cryin' wimmin in the audience! He needed to lighten it up or he was gonna get gang-hugged to death! hahaha!

[@cyndigirl418]

This sounds so unique sung as a BALLAD! 🔥🔥🔥

[@cyndigirl418]

OMG! My kids LAUGH at me when I play this! I LOVE this! 😁😁😁😁

[@dunieefrancine9846]

I love this song.

[@brookemiley4927]

If you have never seen the video for this you definitely should! I do love this version but the 80’s version is very different!

[@cyndigirl418]

I had a CRUSH on this dude when I was a kid back in the 80's! 💕💕

[@alisonscott1469]

aha are a trio of men from Oslo Norway. Take on me was released back in 1985 i was 16 then and instantly became a fan. i prefer this version but the original is just as great the video for take on me has over a billion views on youtube so maybe you should check it out. I’m 53 now and still a huge fan of AHA’s. The band AHA are very underrated and unappreciated which is just criminal to be honest with you. They have a huge back catalogue and every single aha song is different to the last on. Take aha’s song Summer Moved On it is in the guinness book of records for the longest note held in a song. i recommend you check that out. As a suggestion maybe you could do a deep dive into AHA’S music Take on me is just the tip of a very large iceberg thanks for reacting to this song. Take care 😘🇳🇴❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Alexeya13]

You should react to the original. It's one of my favorite music video's. It's so different and unique. So well made. Especially for the 80's Please react to it.

[@Seanpenn282]

Just saw them live in Dubai last year. Amazing live 👍

[@deborahdennehy9937]

It's a shame you haven't seen the original, just superb, in the 80's too!! You've GOT to see it!! xx

[@nondisclosure3920]

Love, love, your reaction. And we're all there with you my dude 💘

[@bobsacamano4372]

Bro, I’m sure it’s been commented a thousand times already but those older women you mentioned going on a journey are in fact on a journey going back in time to their teenage years and listening to their heartthrob crush.

[@egomaniac247]

LMFAO as he was singing the chorus I was wondering how he was gonna hit them high notes....he took it down instead at the very climax and don't blame him ;)

[@ediblemongoose]

Honestly, it was a smart choice stylistically too, fits better with this mellow version.

[@TimedRevolver]

Oh, he can still hit those notes, it just fits better with the style of the unplugged version.

[@blingwithconfidence]

ooh he aged well,i like this song and his voice as well :) the video for this song is really cool!

[@darrinlindsey]

This is a really cool, stripped down version of this song. There's a video of how this song came about, that's really interesting.

[@tosvus]

Beautiful reaction, man.

[@billholder1330]

He can't hit that final high note any more, but what he does instead - oh my, this is so poignant, heart-rending.

[@ReneeEverard]

Oh yes he can. His voice may not be as powerful as it was, but he does still hit that note. Seen him do it live several times, last time a year ago (even with Covid as it turns out)

[@billholder1330]

@@ReneeEverard OK cool, so he chose not to do it here as an artist, makes it even more poignant, I think. This version is just so good, so emotionally pure.

[@hairmetalforlife8019]

Pleeeeeaaaaasssseeee watch the original music video 🙏😍

[@AnnikaRamhqvist]

How amazing to hear him sing this song now. It's been forever. Aha was big here in Sweden maybe they weren't as big in the US.

[@hahatoldyouso]

Definitely check out the video for their original release of this song!

[@Scootxr]

Can you please react to Heartland by George Strait I Cross My Heart by George Strait?

[@sherrythomas3028]

You should do The Sun Always Shines on TV the Unplugged version for the same show. It's beautiful.

[@scottgarcia5036]

Now you have to here the original. Pure 80's!

[@crystalsmith5062]

I'm over here loving this but crying for Vanessa (Deadpool 2 reference)

[@Elena-in6uw]

Grazie per aver ascoltato gli a-ha e la Voce di Morten Harket. Spero tu abbia voglia di conoscere meglio questa band: un bel riassunto della loro carriera è nel concerto a Oslo del 2010 per Ending on a high note...fra le tante loro canzoni- gemme ascolta Summer moved on e Butterfly butterfly ,ascoltale live perché la Voce di Morten regala bellissime emozioni . p.s.:per fortuna sono tornati insieme nel 2015 e hanno fatto ancora tour mondiali e c'è un nuovo album True North ( con un film che fa parte del loro progetto)

[@michaelevans1193]

The original video was groundbreaking in its day. This video, however, shows how the arrangement can change the emotions behind a song so much. I like both versions, but I am just used to the original, which had a very different vibe.

[@miadill2371]

This was my favorite video right along with Madonna’s Material Girl.

[@Shawn4815162342]

Everyone tries to cover this song and FAILS....they do it themselves and make, arguably, an even better version of it

[@TMSsquared]

My favorite 80s song honestly. You mean when he says on? Lol

[@Cat425]

The video was awesome for the time it came out.

[@jenniferross8177]

The hubby and I love watching you. I have 2 songs that I'd like you to consider-One moment more by Mindy Smith and Love Me by Colin Ray.

[@Gabrielnobre]

Great reaction Bro....and the original is WAY DIFFERENT Dud, you will be surprised!

[@kilgh]

So weird this is your first A-ha experience. lol. Wait until you see the original version and see what the band normally sounds like. Morton is a great vocalist finding the emotion in the band's songs despite not being a main songwriter. They do a cover of "Crying in the Rain" that is possibly the best version of it. Even Carole King (the songwriter) promotes it.

[@BaffledRich]

NEW SUB BRO! YOU FEEL THE EMOTIONS BECAUSE THE NOTES ARE OPENING YOUR "CHAKRA" CENTERS....ATLEAST THATS WHAT I READ LOL GOOD DAY TO YOU ALL AND MAY YOU HAVE A BLESSED ONE.

[@TurboD-vn5ve]

Awesome man 👌🏼

[@michaelt3779]

Sounds like the cover version they did in the Magicians

[@JesperHellvik]

Okay that was backwards. First time listening to Take On Me and it's this version!

[@JoseChavez-ct1db]

I didn't know this existed until very recently. This is what I heard in Deadpool 2, but always thought it was a one-off cover. Had no clue it was the original singer.

[@TheSweMusicMan]

Unfortunately they replaced it with "Céline Dion - Ashes" in the extended version of Deadpool 2. Bad decision, since the unplugged version of "Take on me" works so much better in that scene. Morten also did this version on Masked singer UK. A ballsy move singing your own song on Masked singer (And a first)

[@Elena-in6uw]

Yes,the Album is Summer solstice for Mtv unplugged 2017

[@trismaccarran9950]

Only seen the music video for this one on MTV; don't think I've heard another one by them (?) This sounds quite different from the video version. Love your reaction 🎭

[@Vemonvine]

Billy wait to you hear him on the masked singer uk he has a voice of an angel.

[@judgildea]

Holy Shit!! Watch the original!! So different..but soo good 👍

[@markwebster7435]

By the way this version from a-ha is in the end of deadpool 2

[@markwebster7435]

Because he has been singing that song for 35 years lol villain 🤣

[@awy1977]

I have no idea what the song is about, I've heard it many times, but never this version. I agree this one tugs at ya a bit different.

[@keekers19]

Like everyone else is saying, you gotta react to the music video!!!!!

[@JosieC2011]

Great reaction to a great song. Check out "Yesterday When I Was Young" by Roy Clarke if you want to feel emotions. Guaranteed to relate to.

[@giovannapierce-mey9661]

This is a slowed down version. The original was linked in my separate comment

[@RadioDemon334.]

Fun fact the lead singer was on the masked singer uk

[@ronald2441]

Then you should check the Official Music Video of then in this song😁

[@jestinsears1251]

Unsaid Emily by Julie and the Phantoms

[@bernadette3069]

Anthem Lights just did a mashup of Blinding Lights and Take on me.

[@bryanungurath5682]

Gotta hear the original, Billy

[@kathysizemore9975]

You should react to the original video. It's so different, but I enjoyed this one too.

[@reiserdu]

watch the end of deadpool 2. this song is in it! and watch the orignal video! Over a billion views!

[@afry6400]

There is a video to this one that's a bit faster. There is a mix of sketching in it, well worth the look see if you are up for it. There is a sense of desperation to that one.

[@acesfn7316]

you should react to the origional

[@berlyn3014]

This is great but can't beat the original. I like the tempo in the original better.

[@TheRealMBruce]

Please please do Eric Church; Give Me Back My Hometown

[@vampgirl373]

Yes, react to the original.

[@lunarose698]

The original sounds way different than this version. Take a listen

[@ur21]

The voice Ukraine any videos of Philip Rudan

[@footloosewill5569]

You gotta do the original video for this song. This version doesn't sound right. They're singing it way too slow

[@SuperPlacido1]

Normal this is an ACOUSTIC version!

[@markwebster7435]

It’s supposed to be this way will, the whole gig was about doing something new with a load of their songs

[@Veycon1001]

Can't you please do the original aswell?

[@jennifercload9390]

Never heard this version. React to the original

[@micahkaululaau8897]

React to the original with the music video

[@tonyport19]

Can you please listen to Cherokee Rose on KZbin thank you and God bless

[@MrCageCat]

You've never heard the original?????

[@melchorasontosidad2396]

Hi billy ?philippines is missing your reaction to pilipino singer.please react morissette amon cover fly like a bird by mariah carey.wish bus miss your reactions

[@christinerenee]

I think the original would disappoint you after this...honestly....
