Metal Vocalist First Time Reaction - Helluva boss "You will be ok" song from Episode 2

[@saytaylor3603]

"We'll lull them in with dirty jokes and curse words; and then right when they least expect it, BAM! RIGHT IN THE FEELS!"

[@superpheonix131]

Very true

Describes it perfectly

[@benlevan5645]

Their devious plan worked.

[@nickwebb4266]

this is exactly what they did

[@alliecakes5325]

Vivsie recently mentioned that the pilot isn't canon anymore. Originally, Stolas was supposed to be the antagonist of the show, which just absolutely blows my mind, since he's such a soft, feeling character now. I'm so happy Viv changed his position in the show, though. One of my favorite songs from season 1 that is coming up is in episode 6, called 'Truth Seekers'. It gives a lot of insight into Blitzø. Love your reactions, John. Can't wait to see more!

[@Connor-ONeill]

There are one or two bits that are still canon but that's only because they get referenced again in the series proper.

[@undertakernumberone1]

i do miss the time when Moxxie's "i was dreaming my parents..." was just a dark humor joke about how much blitzøs behavior creeped him out. honestly, we didnt need another character with issues due to an abusive family member.

[@Connor-ONeill]

@@undertakernumberone1 except they're literally in hell. I imagine having good parents in hell is the exception and not the rule.

[@alliecakes5325]

@@undertakernumberone1 Completely agree there. I feel like Millie is the only one so far that has a healthy family. Her family is wonderful. There are so many broken characters, it can be a little overwhelming. I don't dislike it, I just feel like it was a sort of bandwagon they jumped on initially. People just connect well to broken characters. I know I relate a lot to Blitzø, and because of that, I'm a bit over-invested in him.

[@mythic_snake]

I'm so glad she decided to go a different direction with Stolas, because if it kept that original vibe it would have gotten ReAlLy r@pey. (I think they're going that direction with Valentino though, but I just think this works SO much better for the Stolas/Blitz relationship)

[@alyssabullock6421]

You Will Be Okay is definitely that song that told people this show would be more than just adult jokes and violence. Stolas is such a sweet character

[@neilcheeseburger]

The song was written by Sam Haft, who writes many of the songs for the show. He's said it was a very personal song to him that he wrote with his young child in mind.

[@fluffyfoxfae]

Goddamn it stop making me cry this early in the morning!😢

[@matt-oo6fu]

Stolas' entire job is to read the stars and tell the future... So likely, he's not just saying nice words to make his daughter feel better. He's probably seen exactly how and when he dies, and everything after that, and he really knows that she'll be okay.

[@Sellswordking]

I’m just…it’s so much fun watching folks who wouldn’t necessarily have a reason to check out something like this find it and fall in love with it. This is a show that will very much punch you directly in the gut in one scene and then immediately make a dick joke and somehow never lose the vice grip it has on your attention. The first episodes feel a little rough, but if anything it eases you in. Just trust, you’ve got some cool fun songs coming your way. Can’t wait for your reaction to Truth Seekers. Thats gonna be a fucking blast to see someone actually get the reference.

[@JohnReavesLive]

lol I can’t wait! The episodes I’ve reacted to so far have been amazing and ridiculously funny!

[@Jewelielie]

This. This is the song that changed my expectations of the show. Initially I was watching Helluva Boss for lore drops and world building for their other series Hazbin Hotel (as it's set in the same universe). But when episode 2 dropped and I heard this song I knew I was in for something special.

[@luciar.e.203]

Such a good song. I lost my father last year. This song helps me a lot in those days and even today. I sing this to him in the hospital a couple of weeks before he die, just the two of us in the room. He was almost unresponsive, but I like to think he like it at the very end.

[@ChitteringFiend]

Don't let people make you think you made a mistake by not knowing every detail from a show you've never seen. I'm just glad you enjoyed the song and wanted to know more. Can't wait to see your reaction tot the show itself!

[@Azazel_Lion]

So happy to see more people discovering helluva boss, really hope you enjoy the show!

[@rosenrot234]

Ah yes the "Actually wait the new Stolas VA can stay" song.

[@jayderhodes6747]

If you fall in love with the characters as much as everyone else has you are gonna be in some heart break, and there are some great songs in season 1. Season 1 and what there is of 2 will really show you what the song "Just Look My Way" is trying to show and why its such a heart breaking song. Stolas and Blitzo really change from season 1 to season 2, and it really shows.

[@leahstoddard2971]

Literally one of the most beautiful songs in the show his voice along makes me wanna cry

[@tiggerpete]

this song really hits you in the feels. there's a lot of that in a show that appears to be just over the top violence and vulgarity on the surface. it really is an incredible show

[@bdariamihaela]

Viviene Merando, the creator, and Brandon Rogers, Blitz's voice actor are the main writters for the show, I think Viv wrote that episode but it might have been both of them, neither has kids

[@shaniceball9052]

3:50 Oh my god, I deeply wish I had a father or even a father figure like Stolas and with his incredible vocals who would sing me to sleep like this when I was little! 🥰☹️

[@V4K4R14N]

Bro.. I couldn't have planned it better. I just commented on your video of "Look my way" right before you uploaded this. Hope you're enjoying the series!!!

[@gavin5724]

@@JohnReavesLivethe songs do get really good and fun. One of the songs way later on to my knowledge was written by KE$HA. And I don’t know if you know this but Moxie is voiced by Richard Horvitz aka Zim from the show invader zim. I also recommend reaction to the hazbin hotel pilot another show from Viv set in the same universe as Helluva boss. It’s finally getting the actual series on prime video and already is getting a season 2. And I think Hazbin Hotel is going to be a musical show. Sorry if this comment seems long.

[@boredandwatching3140]

Watching your reaction to “ look my way “ was amazing!! I’m sorry you got bullied into watching the show and listening to the music- buuut I’m not sorry 😂😂 I’m definitely subscribing right now! I can’t wait to watch your journey through helluva boss!

[@calvineagar1863]

Holy cow he did another one I am shooketh and extremely grateful

[@jaxcraft2848]

I think Stolas will become your favorite character.

[@aj-taz_editing]

Stolas blitzø and moxxie are my favorite characters in this show frickin love stolas’ singing voice it’s very beautiful he brings a ton of emotions with each of his songs! The show does an incredible job at portraying so many relatable and some tragic situations that just make you connect with these characters due to their relatable struggles and experiences

[@RabbidTribble]

I’m always a little surprised when ppl listen to this song and and say things like, “How sweet!” Bc I’m just like…did we listen to the same song?? The way he holds and sings to his daughter is sweet, but the words and how they’re being represented around them…! Stolas’ daughter told him she had a nightmare about not being able to find him and his response was, “I’m here. But even if I was dead, you’d be okay.” Prefaced by some SAD freaking verses about how his life sucks and is basically over except for being her dad, and ending with him actually in tears. The contrast between what he’s doing (soothing his daughter) and what he’s actually saying is jarring and alarming, to say the least. All my “depressed and possibly suicidal” alarm bells are going off. It truly is incredible what a difference Blitz makes to his life. I honestly think that if Blitz hadn’t tried to steal the grimoire that day, Stolas might well have wound up killing himself.

[@jaxcraft2848]

0:26: It's an indie webseries, not an anime. 😉

[@JohnReavesLive]

I’ve been wondering what to call it! Lol thank you!

[@Auroraflair]

Glad you are giving the series a chance :) I feel the story grows and has its bumps here and there where the team is still probably feeling out where they want things to go but when it hits an emotional part, it hits it good.

[@badgerdax1763]

I completely understand how people are being introduced to the show by seeing the latest music video, but the moment you referred to Helluva Boss as an anime I gasped 😂 and the creator is a lady, for future reference 👍 hope you enjoy the show as I’m sure you noticed from the pilot and episode 1 that they don’t particularly match these out of context songs from Stolas as a whole 😅

[@PlankingPancake]

This song reminds me that I will be okay…thanks helluva boss.

[@phantasmicmasque]

I’m new to your channel, but I already love it and was so happy to see you react to this song. This episode came out right after my dad passed, and it really helped me to begin to come to terms with his death. It’s means so much to me as does Stolas’s character as a whole and Octavia (his daughter). Hearing “you will be okay” from a father who loves his daughter so much, reminded me that while I’m grieving now, I will be okay, and my dad will always be with me. I can’t wait for you to watch this series in its entirety as it’s truly something special :3

[@nobody.of.importance]

You thought this was good, wait until you hear Mustang Dong. That one speaks to my *soul*.

[@kingcobra2858]

If I ever had the luck to have children, I'd sing this to them.

[@MariMotherofGoblins]

I can't wait for you to hear more songs from this show. It's just great.

[@crossaffliction]

Ooh, I kind of feel like you should've seen this in the context of the show first, because this is a huge moment in the show; Stolas was basically a running gag more than a character, and then episode 2 starts with this and it's like, oh, he's a real person after all.

[@amberestie6605]

WOOOOO! He is reacting to MORE! We have a victory everyone. Subbing for more. I love when everyone tries something new

[@amberestie6605]

It's even more fun cause I started watching reactions from people who are singers and musicians and they get WOWed from things I didn't think about or how tough it might be to pull off until they point it out. Extra impressed

[@Pixiefaeee]

Yoo love your reactions ❤❤

[@KARMAZYNA]

Seriously, the vocal range of this man is out of this world.

Two minute notice from helluva boss requesting!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@moonshelter3448]

Awww I respect your decision to check this song too. And again thank you for your kind words to Bryce. He's a star of the show)

[@p3chv0gel22]

One thing, that hits my feelings everytime i hear this song is the "all my Storys have been told" line, if you think about that Stolas is in his 30s and would propably live (if we compare to other demon royalties) for aeons

[@willofiron26]

Season 1 last episode is wild. Least just say a well known artist was involved and it complicated things. 😉

[@criticalfailgaming1976]

I love this show and Stolas is best boy!

[@OpalKaboi]

I just saw the Stolas reaction. I'm here to enjoy him enjoying these songs!

[@Bre4458]

John, how did I not know you had a second channel that you watched anime on. I've known you for HOW LONG? what the Heck 🥁

[@Gaterman]

I highly recommend just seeing the songs in the episode themselves as some are pretty spoiler heavy and others require context, this song is great however it's emphasized by what happens right before and right after. "Just look my way" and "Addict" are the only 2 songs not in an episode but "Addict" is for the sister show Hazbin Hotel which has a pilot. Since you asked Vivziepop and her assistant writer Brandon Rogers do not have kids, the team is just very good at getting at emotional points like that with many examples and not just parental stuff.

[@darkzomb]

cant wait til you get to the season 2 songs

[@ahokarma]

You have to react to “Stolas Sings”!!! ITS MY FAVORITE ONE! His voice is so beautiful in it

[@DreamWarriorPaige]

The moment he called it an anime I just cackled. Bruh check out the rest of the songs it's a bop

[@ERRRo-lw3zd]

one of my favorite songs from the show is stolas’ song “owl in a cage”. it’s from season two but i would definitely recommend you to react to it

[@WhatsYourDadSnap]

I found Hazbin amazing but when I went to watch hellavu boss after I absolutely fell in love. Show pulls a 180 from it's start and then proceeds to punch you in the feels over and over.

[@RedWizardFox]

This is one of my fsvorite songs from the show

[@SugarCubesMiki]

"Funny jokes and sex shit...ah and tons of feelings"

[@erinharris6374]

I wonder if you'd enjoy the funnier or more playful songs in the show. I love the creators so much! The songs and the show are addicting!

[@BreakerInc]

Commented on the first Helluva Boss music video you reacted to before realizing you had probably already gone and watched it by then XD oops. Yeah the pilot can be a bit jarring, because Stolas' behavior changes quite a bit in the beginning, (Especially if 'Just look my way' is the first thing you saw.) but it evens out as time goes on, so to speak. Glad you're reacting to these and watching the show!

[@IronDuker8339]

Yes, Stolas is a good father.

[@bananatos8929]

Don't know if you'll see my comment, but I can't wait for you to react to his next song! It's just called Stolas Sings or (Owl In A Cage). The voice actor, actually was crying as he recorded that one.

[@ExoNightWing]

Definitely listen to two minute notice once you get into season 2

[@WingManFang1]

MOAR! ❤

[@lazaressbloodward8229]

Yes he did take hes daughter to a dieing star system to get her to sleep lol

[@dillonsessom6752]

Stolas has another song he sings too at a later episode

[@caraslaboszewski2275]

You're actually responding to a song I recommended, wow.

[@nicorizzo5402]

If you're up for a complete change of pace, 2 Minutes Notice from the latest episode is such a bop and it's sung by the actor who played Beetlejuice in the musical.

[@Amylian4]

Stolas character development is AMAZING, and this was the 1st step, they were very smart about him, many people started to see him as their fav after this and it stayed that way, myself🧐 but yeah, they are now with blitz but till S2 stolas is still a really popular character and not in vain

[@TheRezro]

Stolas VA in pilot is different then in regular show.

[@Kitsunemaru1]

Also, if you want a hilarious and really good mashup song, look at I Love You/House of Asmodeus. The way the singers play off of each other is great.

[@Pixiefaeee]

Heyy if you havent already i recommend listening to void by melanie martinez she has 3 albums and one ep which is crybaby, k-12, after school, portals her music is good to me id love to see ur reaction

[@thaizee_]

there's a song that i really like n it says a lot about the "development" of the characters. it's called House of Asmodeus, in the last episode of the first season i hope u like

[@buttertoto378]

It’s not stolas singing but house of asmodeus is another song super worth listening to

[@robingaleditz]

If you need more context to "Just Look My Way," I would highly suggest watching HELLUVA BOSS - OZZIE'S // S1: Episode 7 - FINALEHELLUVA BOSS - OZZIE'S // S1: Episode 7 - FINALE. It provides context to why Stolas(the owl) is depressed. Hope this helps!

[@Ghost_R4cc00n]

Hi there I am new to your channel of music and I have to say that this song from Stolas was a nice to peaceful one that the singer/Voice actor has sang this song to his daughter when she was afraid or scared. As it’s quiet wholesome and start of musical journey onward in Helluva Boss series. 😌 So ahead within the song order, you are going to approach to “Lo Lo Land” song, “Welcome to Bonetown”, “Victory” Song, “C.H.E.R.U.B.S” Jingle, “Moxxie’s Weird Trip”, “House of Asomudus” and lastly “Cotton Candy” to “Monster Ball” as those are the songs so far for Season 1. As Season 2 got more songs in store for your Helluva Boss journey till it get back after the 6/7th episode from a mini break and resume in March 2024.
