MY FIRST TIME HEARING Chaka Khan-Ain't Nobody REACTION

[@tinazaccagna1459]

A charming man who’s genuinely charming because he’s open honest and vulnerable is a beautiful thing to experience . Being charming with an hidden agenda isn’t . Same goes for women .❤️

[@kimberlyfowler840]

Exactly!!

[@dmpo5450]

I have to get up and dance every time I hear this. Been married 50 years and as for my wife: Nobody loves me better - Makes me happy - Makes me feel this way. If you're lucky you'll find it. Nothing wrong with being charming IF it's genuine. Too many phonies out there.

[@carolekelley23]

The problem with charming is it has been described as Satans greatest attribute, also snakes have been discribied as charming . The word creeps me out.

[@laurawitt5396]

I was a teenager in the 80s I know exactly how you feel. Our music was fun unlike today

[@thomasgreen1914]

The 80s is the last decade of good music ❤

[@sjhoulihan9934]

Chaka Khan is a living legend!!

[@certpt]

Chaka is the female singer who you said was "on point" at the end of Steve Winwood's "Higher Love" that you recently reacted to.

[@00Anjie]

I think the women you spoke to were confusing charming with sleazy. Being naturally charming is great. Using charm to manipulate someone is gross. Just be yourself and be respectable. ❤️

[@00Anjie]

@D Beguiled bad behavior is a choice regardless of gender.

[@scottarooni]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@karaminalee]

Oh yesssss!!!

[@beachbunny7256]

Me tooooo💞

[@jennhurl]

James, love - Chaka is a Queen 🔥I Feel For You (Written by Prince, Stevie Wonder on harmonica, & Melle Mel of Grandmaster Flash mixing) 🔥Tell Me Something Good (with Rufus) - I can't think of a song with more FUNK than this. Oh LAWD!!

[@sjhoulihan9934]

Through the Fire 🔥

[@scottdorsey8220]

You Got The Love (w/Rufus)

[@elizabethgari4909]

And YOU, sweet man, are charming in a GREAT way. Please dont ever change. You're a woman's dream come true. Dont worry, she's out there somewhere waiting for you.

[@eleanorrigby924]

I agree.

[@JohnMedved]

Genuine charm and being funny are two of the best traits to have as a man. Learning how to cook helps too!

[@cheryljackson5659]

Dearest James! I LOVE the way that you not only LISTEN to the music, but you FEEL the music as well! This is one is my favorite Chaka songs among many because you just got to move to the rhythm! Enjoy your journey, young man!

[@jentommyontheroad8089]

So glad I was a teen in the 80s and got to experience such great music! Love seeing your reaction and good advice about the red flags! Great that you learned that early!! Being charming isn’t a bad trait unless it’s false charm! We all know what fake looks like….a big red flag! You are so genuine and that’s your charm!

[@twanadenson1293]

"Tell Me Something Good" is a great tune from her

[@tiffanybrown9272]

Chaka is a natural force, a whole vibe and ENERGY.

[@jackiefloyd8003]

I absolutely loved your reaction to this song and Chaka’s voice! She can SANG!! Peace and love to you.

[@kmikmi1311]

She's a classic.. and she can kill it on the drums too!

[@frankiebowie6174]

There’s a difference between “a charmer” and a charming person. The former means a person who uses insincere flattery to get his way. The latter means someone like you, open and happy, who naturally draws people to him.

[@karenmanemeit7803]

One of my favorites 💜 I’m 61 still single still praying and waiting for this love 💕💕

[@chrisf.7980]

As everyone else is saying here, charm is a wonderful thing if its sincerely coming from a place of honesty. It is a terrible thing to use with dishonesty for selfish or opportunistic reasons. Just be true to who YOU are, the rest falls into place.

[@timcarr6401]

One of my favorite singers died yesterday. B.J. Thomas would have been 79 in August. I have been a fan of his for decades. I saw him in concert just once in the late 80s. He had a huge number of hits. I hope you can play "Mighty Clouds Of Joy."

[@kjkernSerendipity]

Aw, I didn't hear that. So many good songs!

[@marcieharreld286]

😥😥😥😥😥😥

[@mstewart109]

Loved BJ Thomas!

[@jonnno2439]

One of my all time favourite songs. I love how her voice and that huge synth sound , (is it a minimoog?) melt together.

[@melaniebrown4660]

This song brings back wonderful memories of roller skating and break dancing. The 80’s were an absolute blast.

[@dorothyzbornak9974]

Sweetheart, as Maya Angelou said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.” You are a darling, loving, tender man and you will find the love of your life when you least expect it and both of you will feel blessed. I promise.

[@karaminalee]

JAMES!!!! THIS IS MY SONG! You have nooo idea what this song is to me. My first album I ever owned, when I was 5 years old and the movie Breakin came out, and I had to have the soundtrack. And I’m still obsessed with the movie. This is my jam and I listen every single day. You just made this girl happy happy. 😄❤️❤️❤️

[@TheDivayenta]

[@loridyczewski6229]

Yessss! I’m so exited that you reacted to Chaka Kahn! Her voice speaks to my soul. She is one of the 80,s queens.

[@BecomeConsciousNow]

I'm glad you picked up on the opening line of this song. Just amazing! That is possibly my favourite opening line of any song ever because it is so true and so exciting. 'Captured effortlessly, that's the way it was, happened so naturally, I did not know it was love...' What great lyrics.

[@Abfabcomic11]

I used to listen to Chaka Khan in high school, listening to her in my Walkman walking through the mall!!! Through the Fire is bomb!!!

[@Will-thon]

This song deserves a nobel prize

[@creinicke1000]

No one can sit still listening to this song. Her personality must be great because so many folks have sung with her... And over the years she's always had a smile on her face. Your "Red Flag" comment made me want to give you a hug/comfort... No relationship is perfect, but don't close yourself off. I don't know what charming is either... I'm a grandma.. I met my hubby when I was 17.. we've been up and down many hills over the years... But I know what attracted me to him was humor and trustworthiness. He wasn't flashy, in fact many might say he was boring, but he always made me smile. So.. my point it, just be who you are...

[@kylecompton3305]

This is one of the most perfect songs I have ever heard!

[@donnabruhn6907]

Makes you want to get out on the dance floor. Thank you Chaka ❤️✌️😎😍

[@BecomeConsciousNow]

The 80s had an amazing vibe and out of that positive vibe comes great music. I think that is why you connect so much with the 80s. Just better times compared to today.

[@elizabethgari4909]

If a man is GENUINELY charming it's a dream come true. If hes a charming player hes bad news

[@JeannieBeanie]

Chaka Kahn "I Feel for You" 🔥🔥🔥

[@SweetThing]

Check out Chuka Khan performing "I'm Every Woman"; it's awesome! :-)

[@mowestjohnquin9915]

BEST version!

[@clevelandnative7175]

Love this song Charming is a fine trait to have as long as your sincere. I’ve dated sincere charmers and I’ve dated charmers with nefarious motives, the trick is of course knowing which is which.

[@michaellynch5254]

Charming is definitely not a bad quality to have. It's attractive to other people.

[@firstnamelastname6193]

You will know that feeling and the person who makes you feel that is one lucky human being. You are a pure soul and it won't be long before someone can't get through the day without being with you

[@deplorable9740]

I FEEL FOR YOU BY CHAKA.

[@claudinesmith8618]

Charming if honest (not used as a pick up line)is priceless.

[@lisacolbert5987]

I LOVE that the way you get with this is exactly how it’s made me feel since I heard it in the early 80s , driving in a cozy car on dark, rainy Seattle nights ... and cranking it ! Because great music MUST be listened to at a high volume (at least half the time) . And , that bs about charming men being the devil ? You know who you are and where your heart is at , right ? Keep being your authentic self and don’t give another thought to people looking for more ways to play the victim . Are there predatory men (and women) ? Heck , yeah . Are you that ? So , keep that glow you’ve got and enjoy , enjoy . It goes by fast 💚🎼🎹🎺🎷📻🎙💋

[@prestonmcleod1726]

You are so right on red flags, many of us tend to ignore them. It's true nobody's perfect, & we all have flaws, but red flags are toxic, & when u see any, remove urself from that situation ASAP! As for being charming, it can be both good & bad, but like u said bout the red flags, if you see any, run!!

[@reneklein6049]

She is absolutely incredible!! You picked a great song, James. Please do I'm Every Woman next. Thanks for sharing! 💖❤ oh, being charming is wonderful in my book!!

[@andrewdixon2489]

Of all all the people I could wish to meet…. You sir are such an amazing soul with so much empathy… Bless you… all the best. Andy and Family

[@yankeeladee02]

P.S. Your happiness & smile makes my day, JB ☮️💟

[@davetourle4250]

James you are the most honest, humble, sweet and charming man. You feel the music, and get the lyrics and the meaning of the tracks that you listen to. Not only that, you have a wide range of taste in music. And that is why you are the only reaction guy I watch. Keep it up and keep being YOU.

[@roderickharrisii8645]

*I agree with you the totality of the 80's is the best*

[@monicamad1285]

Do You Love What You Feel by Rufus & Chaka Khan or Sweet Thing are my 2 favorites!! Check out some Evelyn Champagne King too ❤️

[@jerrycote659]

Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how your whole demeanor and body language changed as this epic song and Chaka’s unmatched vocals began taking you over. Music can have such a powerful affect. I loved this song from the first time I heard it and will love it just as much the next time I hear it. This is the first time I’ve seen one of your reaction videos and I have to say I was really moved by your honesty and your beautiful spirit. Charm is a wonderful quality when it’s natural and genuine.Unfortunately, there are some who know how to use charm as a means to an end without regard to the feelings of those they affect. It can be a tough situation to gauge if you are on the receiving end of someone’s charms and you find yourself questioning your own judgment and your own instincts. Sadly, that’s a reality many people of honest and sincere intentions sometimes have to navigate. I wouldn’t be overly concerned about that though because it’s apparent there is no BS at all in your character. As long as you are true to yourself and are genuine with others as you were just in your heartfelt reaction then there is someone out there who is going to be very very fortunate and fall “naturally” for you just as Chaka describes. And I have no doubt that it will “naturally” happen for you as well. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your reaction videos. You have a new subscriber!

[@VampyTN]

Hope you're doing well ❤ Love your reactions! Can't not dance 💃🏼 listening to Chaka. You're wanting love like this will happen! You're charming, kind, sweet..that from watching you! Glad you're back! 😊

[@rebeccav4659]

Real love sneaks up on you......💜. To answer your question.....charming is sweet if it is only directed at you if you are in a relationship. If he is charming to EVERYONE IT IS FAKE.

[@noracola5285]

Or if he's "charming" until he sees it isn't helping him to get his way.

[@lasciethiesing2219]

Love the smile on this one JB! 😁

[@jasonkyler]

From back in the day when is didn't matter if we or the performers were black, white, purple or polka dot. Music crossed all lanes to be appreciated by everyone. Chaka Khan is called the "Queen of Funk" for a reason...and still is criminally underrated.

[@terribanks8633]

Someone who just LOVES good music. Doesn't attempt to analyze it. THAT'S why I love you!❤

[@MsZenT]

Hey James! I was enjoying Chaka and watching you, and I was thinking..."He has no idea what he has unlocked yet". Then, I saw your beautiful smile, and I was happy that you understood and felt the song the way you should feel this song...physically, emotionally and spiritually. Enjoy!!- Peace...Be and Stay Safe!!!!

Love you James. Anyone would be so lucky to have your love, and a fool to take it for granted.

[@Dcaloosa]

Chaka is incredible!

[@marningritaguy]

Chaka is a Goddess. I have loved her from way back in Rufus.

[@mibelloaleman]

This is my ALL TIME favorite song! My fondest memory of it is listening to it while sitting across the street in front of the entrance to the Vatican museum, which I had just exited from, and having wine, awesome lunch and watching the people line up to go in. It was a gorgeous sunny, breezy day and this awesome song was swimming in my head right there! It isn't the words that I like, it's the FANTASTIC beat! It had just come out that month when I was in Italy and that same evening I danced to it till I drop in a beautiful club. The beat was so dance-able, so cool that whenever I hear this song it brings me back to such a gorgeous, awesome day in my life. Regarding males being charming, it is usually perceived as bogus, which it usually is and rightfully so. Males only use it to get women in bed and smart women are hipped to that and veer away from it like the plague. I advise you to just be YOU.

[@BridewellSeniorTube]

Brilliant advice about giving low vibration the red flag!! Youre a natural councelor :)

[@melissagottlieb3381]

This song went thru me like a lightning bolt when it first came out..and it does to this day! Great beat..and the way she sings it is so powerful and sexy

[@i.m.7710]

I love Chaka!!!!!! Wise words from you! Very true. Keep your vibration upfull. Life is too short to fill it with misery on purpose. Grief and misery will come occasionally even in loving, healthy homes and we will have a good, solid foundation to deal with it and get through it together. Don't make a habit of courting it.

[@tammywhatever8602]

Women WANT CHARMING MEN!! Not some "hard to get" or not easily charmed himself... that's a REAL turnoff! Thank you for showcasing this beautiful singer - her voice is my childhood & when I was 7 or 8, I saw her sing "Tell Me Something Good" when it was new and I told my Mom that I wished I looked like her!! Her voice is so perfect, but her appearance was just as stellar! ❤ Still loving Chaka Khan, 47 years later and I'm now an old, white chick who STILL wants to look like her! 🥰 Hugs, from Mesa, AZ 🌵

[@beachbunny7256]

Love that you're feeling 80s music!!! That was my day! Maybe we did dance to this at a club back then😂🤣🤩

This is a very hot time from back in the day. Love this record.

[@julespumachu]

Hey, first time commenter, long time adult woman here. Stop here, if you don't want to read a long comment. 🎵It happened so naturally, I did not know it was love🎶 Yes. It feels great, but tread carefully. As you said, red flags are real (sometimes, we just can't see them). 🎵First you put your arms around me, then you put your charms around me🎶 This can be interpreted in a couple of ways. She rhyming, she's vibing, it's poetic and feels romantic. I haven't looked up the writing credits for this song of the amazing Ms. Chaka, but the message may be: "First you put your arms around me" (They've started to have physical intimacy, or may've already been together); "Then you put your charms around me" (She's started to notice things she likes about his apparent personality/behavior, and she may even realize that she likes him and/or has caught feelings for him). You can break the lines down in many ways, this is just one small theory. Sometimes, people have feelings before they ever hook up, but it also happens the other way around. It can happen to anyone. Your friends were sharing a philosophy that many women have discussed (also, presumably many men). Some people are naturally charming, and they're great people. Some people are charming, but they're only putting on a facade to reach their goals. These people can be simple liars and users, or be full on socio/psychopaths. One learns to not trust charm alone. Look at someone's behavior. What they *do* shows you who they are. Charm is good, but fake is fake. If any man or woman is charming until they feel they've "gotten/hooked" you (physically, emotionally, etc.), and then their facade slips, you're now seeing the real person. One of the most amazing and decent men I've ever known had natural charm. He wasn't extra, slick or overly smooth. I keep a handful of statements I consult, which were said to me by different people and have proven to always be true. My friend was experienced in psychoanalysis. He told me, "Be careful of any person who's too charming. Your average healthy person isn't going to be charming all the time." Whether for content or not, I hope you'll take a chance to enjoy more of her (& their) music.♥

[@clairewhitby2303]

It’s like everything else James. Charming men are generally that, charming” & it’s wonderful. I think if you meet someone who is charming but ends up to be anything but, then that makes you very wary. Generally charming is a good thing. Not many men seem to be nowadays. I am very proud to say that I have been told by many - young ladies included, that my son is charming.

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Hey JB, Lets get our jam on...Our grl Chaka Khan is so funky fun...Charming is ok, but its not words/charms, but consistent action. Im bias to the 60's 70's and 80's...Sing it, way to go babe...Good to see you smile. Blessings and Much love

[@larissahorne9991]

I had most My Teachers Charmed through out the years. I remember one day in High School especially. My classmates asked the Teacher "She plays up as much as the rest of us. Why doesn't She get in trouble?" The Teacher just shrugged Her shoulders. I was never a Bad or Disrespectful kid, just a bit Mischievous. I know My Wide Almond-shaped Eyes are a powerful asset. But I choose not to manipulate anyone. I was raised by My Mum and Grandma to be a Lady. Which maens being nice to everyone Behind Closed Doors and Publicly as well as Simple Elegance. Besides helping others make Everyone feel good. It may be an Old Fashioned Adage, but My Word's My Bond. I gave up trying to lie as a kid. Not only was I Bad At It, I'd always feel bad and confess. But there is a difference between being tactful or being blunt, the 1st option is better.

[@marciapeak893]

Loyalty and fidelity is better for me. A charming man can put you into a trance with his eyes or his smile and the charm can capture not only you but other women. He can't help it. That charm usually can't be devoted to one person. Ever see a man that winks while flashing that captivating smile?

[@ronanhetherington8583]

Nothing wrong with being charming if your genuine!, always be genuine 💚

[@cheryljackson5659]

Charm can be wonderful if the person is genuine, and sincere, and it comes from the heart. Unfortunately, charm can be used as a deceitful means to obtain an alterior motive, usually a selfish one. You need to be able to discern the former from the latter, which is the tricky part.
