*MOM'S MUSIC!* 🎵 SADE "SMOOTH OPERATOR" REACTION

[@cornovii934]

90% of British people born in the mid/late 80s were conceived with Sade providing the background music !

[@hilarymiseroy3251]

Yes Diamond Life was the go to "seduction" album of the 80's.

[@billybee3423]

I’m in the U.S. and I was about to post that any Sade CD was a panty dropper. It sure helped me back in the day.

This woman is a LEGEND!!!! She is just amazing. Always amazing.

Greatest female voice of all time, her voice is angelic

[@markthomas2577]

Sade was born in Nigeria and moved to England aged 4. So we count her as British ! She's twice been honoured by The Queen for services to music.

[@arts872]

Her Mother WAS British

[@hod2116]

She went to my school

[@merlinmediagroup]

No, we "count her a British" because she IS British.

This band was awesome live. That's when you really get to appreciate how good her rhythm section is. The bass lines in this are beautiful.

perfect choices. no ordinary love is my favorite sade song.

[@zapazap]

Is it a crime?

[@damonbryan7232]

Scary thing is. She sounds even better live. Seen her many times. She's just as sweet in person as her voice is.

[@chestrockwell8328]

Never saw Sade live but did watch/listen to a recording from one of her live shows played on a high end sound system; you're right she sounded more amazing.

[@kerrylewis2581]

I've seen hundreds of live shows but sad to say never saw Sade

[@dalemesserly4425]

Best concert I ever saw and I have been to over 100's of shows

[@GeronFletcher]

Sade the greatest! Please do more of her music. She’s unmatched like FORREAL! CHERISH THE DAY

[@kyndread71]

Sade sings to men. All men are in love with her. No lies detected.

And the modern women think we want them to be like Cardi B.

Sade is pure class. Saw her way back in the day at Ronnie Scott's club in Soho. That's the real Soho in London. All her albums are really exceptionally good.

[@capcolombie3834]

Fell in love with her voice the first time I heard her decades ago..... and thats never changed.

[@viewfromthehighchair9391]

I've always said Sade has a "champagne voice". Not sure where I came up with that but it suits her so well.

[@MrDaveboynton]

A few weeks ago I had an operation and they were playing it in the OR when I walked in. No joke.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I absolutely adore Sade! She is smooth, jazzy, and her voice is like silk! Sade is a British artist she had many many hits in the eighties and nineties! Check out some of her other hits like, Sweetest Taboo, Is It A Crime, No Ordinary Love, Cherish The Day, Kiss of Life, and many more! She is a vibe and is played when I’m alone with my guy!❤️❤️

[@annaoswald5943]

I immediately think of Mr. Video when I see this, and miss his music reactions. His ongoing crush was always so fun to watch. The Sade pillow was classic.

[@Louise-rvn]

Yes!!! He fell in love 😅😍

[@3John16]

I miss that guy!

[@thejinglejoeman8092]

She and her music are legendary!! Definitely worth exploring her whole catalogue of music!

[@kenpatton8761]

For her work in music, she was awarded the CBE( Commander British Empire ). 1 step below Dame (Knighthood). Great song!

[@tradeladder146]

She was Born in Nigeria but brought up in London England, Nigeria is an ex British Colony just like America. LOL.

[@koomaj]

Sade is just amazing! All her albums are pure class. I''m waiting anxiously for their new record.

[@NiamorH]

So many classics from Sade "Jezebel", "Fear", "The Sweetest Taboo", "Is It A Crime", "Kiss Of Life", "King Of Sorrow", "Paradise", "Hang On To Your Love", "Nothing Can Come Between Us", "Pearls"... She was sampled by so many, MF Doom, Mobb Deep, 9th Wonder, Kool Keith

[@thebrogressiveagenda9936]

Sade is ultimate baby making music 🎶 highly recommend your love is king

[@rickelliott9441]

Is it a Crime that you don’t know who Sade is? I say yes it is… Sade is fantastic.

[@IshwaraYogaNET]

Summer vibes, car windows wound down, a young engineer driving home to west London mid 80's, Sade's ethereal, yearning voice making everything right

[@iarocks44]

There is truly only one Sade. The smooth, soulful, classic voice from a woman of total elegance, grace and class. Love her music. No Ordinary Love should be your next.

[@TheFairyintheFishBowl]

“Never as Good as the First Time”, “By Your Side” & No Ordinary Love” & “ Sweetest Taboo” are my favourites…❤️

[@coffeetalk924]

Lex nailed it! Definitely had a sort of Caribean tropicicana type feel where the idea of casino's and cruise ships come to mind! Miami feel as well!

[@pmck6336]

Briefly met her in 1988... I was on tour with a thrash band, she was on tour in St. Louis. She stepped onto the hotel elevator we were on. A beautiful woman and we were a motley crew, to say the least. I immediately recognized her because this song was such a huge MTV hit when I was in high school. She was with her guitar player... they were both interested in our story, an immediate respect for another touring band, even if on the opposite end of the musical spectrum.

[@garyclements318]

I had a male friend that was really a looker dude, and this song always made me think of him. A great song. Love that sax.

[@BadgerBJJ]

Sade and my linguini and clam sauce… that was getting busy date night.

[@OGPokey151]

I remember in the mid 80s I was in High School up in Sacramento. My best friend and I were out by the river, we went into a bar/diner to eat a burger and fries. You could tell there was some grumpy biker dudes that were regulars to that place. On the juke box this song came on and they were bitching about that song. When we were finishing eating my friend Mike loaded a $5 into the juke box, he selected Slow ride, then spent the rest on smooth operator 19 times it was 25 cents per song. We left during slow ride 🤣. This song always reminds me of that moment.

[@fern]

Sade is eve ry thing uh! Super talented, beautiful voice and one ofthe most beautiful women in the world along with an amazing band. Her bass player is one of the all time best, periodt!

[@FloridaRocks]

"Kiss of Life" "No Ordinary Love" Honestly, this band had hit after hit! Dive into the rabbit hole, you won't be disappointed.

[@twofarg0ne763]

Thanks for reacting to this video. Sade is a marvel; voice like silk, very low key, and during the 80's she was one of the top models in the world. It's one of my favorite songs.

[@SI-ix2bk]

If I ever had a time machine, id go back in time and Woo the heck out of this magnificent woman. I think im in love with her and her voice.😅

No Ordinary Love, Cherish The Day, Sweetest Taboo... Stunning x

[@gwillis01]

Have you ever heard of the concept that "No one will ever know that we did this wild, unusual thing on vacation because we are so far away from home!" Lex is talking about the fact that certain situations seem quite detached from normal, average life. Therefore, no one would know that you were naughty or unfaithful. One of these situations is a cruise ship. One of these places is a casino or a hotel room connected to the casino.

[@arescuda7234]

Lex always hitting on all cylinders. Sipping cocktails on the 18+ casino boat swaying to Sade grooves and drawing jack's and aces.

[@kirkstevens8499]

Thank you for finally reacting to Sade! The woman version of Seal IMO. Both artists have such a vast array of quality music. Would love to see more of your reactions to both Seal and Sade. Please react to Seal's live in Paris version of Deep Water.

[@johnstjohn6658]

When this came out The Face magazine was gaga over a band called Working Week (Never heard any of their songs), Everything But the Girl (Long before "Missing" came out) and Sade. I first heard her on the venerable New Wave station KROQ before R&B and pop stations picked her up. Bryan Ferry (of Roxy Music) and Paul Weller (of The Jam) also had done smooth songs about the same time this came out. Sade killed Live Aid singing "Tell Me Why". And yeah, full lips, big forehead and all - she was (is) gorgeous!!!

[@blinkybill2198]

Shes so amazing with so many great songs

[@humbertochavez6572]

Sade’s talent - and her husband’s talent - were a gift to humanity (n a rare coincidence)

[@ivankaleoniefuchs333]

giggles...A "Smooth Operator" ist NOT a cheater. Any girl who chooses to live in that realm of excitement knows No One ist attached. Sadly, I felt this song ist about how she had become attached to only one instead of das many sharing that lifestyle...It happens. :-) But you move on und simply have fun...ist practicing what you preach. Have a fun day. Auf Wiedersehen :-)
