MY FIRST TIME HEARING The Pretenders - I'll Stand By You REACTION (IM SHOOK!!!)

[@dalenemahaffey9304]

I wish I was 40 years younger. I would stand by you. You are a wonderful young man, and you deserve a loyal , loving women.

[@harrietmiller3982]

You will find a woman worthy of you‼️. She is out there waiting to be appreciated by a real man like yourself✌️😘

[@Ray1969.]

Absolutely! You have a beautiful soul

[@scottp.1884]

When he laughs we laugh when he cries we cry. I don't look him as a black man but I respect him as a man of character, determination and caring. Thank You for all the videos you upload . You change people's lives .

[@gwenna5718]

Absolutely❤

[@marciapeak893]

@@scottp.1884 How can you not see him as a black man. That's a part of who he is. A beautiful black man. When people don't see your beautiful color, no matter what it is, they're erasing a part of what makes you you. We are all beautiful colors like flowers. Do you not see the color of a rose, or a daffodil or a tulip? I know you probably say you don't see a person's color to show you aren't racist but to love & show no bias to every color is what makes the dream work. You sound like the kind of person we need more of in this world.

[@scottp.1884]

@@marciapeak893 honestly I truly respect J Blethel he is such a great person he so pure .

[@pamwatson5905]

JB you deserve the love and loyalty of a good woman. Be patient because she is out there.

[@tiffanyspencer2782]

We all want IT, but don't take just anything. There's nothing wrong waiting for the right 1. There's nothing wrong w/waiting for worthwhile. There's nothing worse than being in a relationship, but feel you're alone. Just sayin

[@nikwalters1029]

Side note: loyalty is not blind obedience/agreement. Sometimes the most loyal thing you can do is call someone on their sh*t and call for them to come correct. Hold them accountable.

[@smellygoatacres]

Amen. I can testify. I've had some dumb ideas and my wife has been tq voice of reason. She will follow me when I'm right. She'll call me out when I'm wrong.

[@Bmarie81]

@@smellygoatacres sounds like u got a good women.

[@christineoneal666]

If I was a lot younger or you were older, I would be that kind of woman. You seem like such a wonderful guy.

[@robertasirgutz8800]

The greatest female voice in Rock. Amazing band, tragic events like addiction, overdose broke them up. She's still performing, and teamed up with Stevie Nicks.

[@darkiee69]

Crissies voice is so recognizable, you can't mistake it for anyone else.

[@michelleedler3414]

There is someone for everyone. I truly believe that. My husband and I will celebrate 19 years this November. He's not perfect, but he's perfect for me.

[@michaelbanfield7987]

you are a good person James if you were my son I would be so proud of you....loved all of your comments on that reaction

[@shantimattie9916]

"Soon as you’re in tough times, they leave you" Those aren’t women. Those are girls. A real woman is your strength, your heart and soul, and you are hers. Together you can make this world right.

[@nepenthes1978]

I would argue not all girls are like that either. I think it's about character.

[@Almcingrid3663]

This is mine and my husband’s song. He loved me through cancer and all the aftermath. He loves me through all my struggles and I adore him!

[@loridavis4974]

Amen. You are the kind of man us good ones look for. Never compromise.

[@shadsullivan7817]

Then all of you good women should respond to him. He is a good kind man. If you complain about there not being any good men, there you are. At least talk to my friend. He is so good.

[@angelsavoie8417]

It saddened my heart to tears when you said you've never experienced this loyalty. But in the video it shows they were just friends. Show loyalty and it will be shown back, I promise. Then you will receive your just rewards, I promise. You are a well deserving young man!

[@cynthiamasey8061]

Thus song was written to her son during a bad situation. I can relate to my son and I who is a Veteran. It us very meaningful as a mom to her son. I'd climb over broken glass for him. My best accomplishment is my Danny.

[@michelleedler3414]

I believe this was her helping him through withdrawals of addiction in the video.

[@debbeborders5762]

James, keep supporting love. Love wins.

[@theresakirby4492]

Your so sincere with everything you say. You give really good advice. I think your a really good guy and any woman would be lucky to have you.

[@Seanadun]

Lead singer is Chrissie hynd she's just one of the best female singers ever. I love the pretenders

[@MsAppassionata]

Hynde

[@heathcornbeef]

Och

[@lindadiamond9353]

She will be there. You deserve a loyal loving woman to join to your big heart.

[@Caprizonica]

The voice of this woman, ugh! Beautiful! No one sings this song like her.

[@baekdutiger631]

Thank God my wife has stood by me thru thick and thin for over 25 yrs!!!

[@danielberenger4818]

I am there for you through thick and thin. Love you too. Howard Hewitt say Amen is a good song for all of us.

[@dariaestermann2418]

Great song an wise words, JB. You are such a good person.

[@stevebryant6483]

Just 5 years ago I saw this legend in concert. She toured with another legend , Stevie Nicks. What a great show.

[@Suzy-nq2yc]

I hope you find that kinda love! You sure deserve it! Much love! This song is perfect for you!

[@rogerbillings5081]

Chrissie Hynde's voice is unique and powerful. Pretenders were a great band with loads of awesome songs!

[@jeanniemetiva6745]

You got us❤ we will always be here for you ❤

[@lisak2580]

This song came out when I was 16, and it still gives me all the feels at 43.

[@mopo8552]

A beautiful reaction to a beautiful song

[@jendi7035]

This is the song I danced with my dad with at my wedding back in 1996 and now its message also holds true for my son, like it's been passed down. It means SO much to me and I can't hear it without crying ♥♥♥

[@jendi7035]

Also you seem so sweet and i love how genuine you are. Hang in there. She's out there. I have a feeling she may even be in the comments here ;-)

[@sirocul4134]

You're one of the most genuine reactor i've Seen around....greetings from France

[@garfield122010]

You are spot on about not deserving anyone if you are abusive !!

[@moleman1976]

If I ever get married, this is my first dance song. The most powerful love songs of all time, in my opinion. Beautifully performed, and the lyrics are amazing!

[@mariedillon1403]

Thanks for posting this song..I haven't heard it in years. Hold on and you'll see...the right woman will come along...❤️💐☘️

[@gigianders1984]

We must see your ADORABLE niece soon. Can’t live without that child.

[@lugwrench9832]

JB -- There's a lid for every pot. Patience brother... Patience.

[@nikwalters1029]

Absolutely one of my favorite songs! I always related this song as a great friends song. Reminds me of my friends that we may not talk for long periods of times but the minute you pick up the phone we're there with whatever you need. I have been blessed to have quite a few of those and feel blessed that I CAN be one of them.

[@anthonyv1719]

This is them at mainstream middle or the road type music. The first two albums - with the original band - they were new wave/punk - and were masterpieces to this day. In fact, the debut album by them is considered one of the greatest records of all time.

[@heathcornbeef]

I agree along with LONDON CALLING (the clash) ..ROCK FOR LIGHT (bad brains) ... THE RAMONE'S (the Ramones).... PLASTIC SURGERY DISASTER'S (the dead Kennedys) ...RAW POWER (Iggy and the stooges)

[@lightningbug276]

They are from Kent, Ohio which is near me. They are well loved around here. ❤️ PS- I agree this is a hard time to find true love. This generation is colder. You may need a cougar lol

[@jeffstumpf9129]

Chrissie is, for sure, but half of the band was British.

[@crosssalmon1]

Mmmmm.. I almost forget how beautiful The Pretenders' songs are.. thx for the reaction, man.. :-)

[@sharonjarrett8953]

You need to find a woman that is just like you, kind hearted and sweet and loyal and a strong woman who ain’t going 🏃‍♀️ I pray you fine her.🙏🏽😊

[@jandebos824]

i feel you man ... i just had the same experience again ... loyalty is hard to find now a days ... but heads up, keep making things positive for yourself ... you deserve the best, so i am certain you will find your soulmate 💕

[@GinMae]

JB - that line: "nothing you confess.. could make me love you less..." -- Chrissie Hynde is my favorite female singer - and this is just ONE of her great songs.... so many more --

[@1487.]

Beautiful song and I found someone back in 87 we fell in love but it didn't work out I had a lot of issues and because he was true and I was too but I had to fall and the Lord helped me and brought him back spritually to help me heal even though we're not together physically we are together spritually and his love will always be with me his love gave me back to me and I will always be humble and grateful to have know such a beautiful love ❤️

My dad brought The PRETENDER'S first album in 1980 i was ten years old Aotearoa new zealand when I saw Chrissie hynde on the cover and then heard her voice my first CRUSH I've seen her 3 time's with the PRETENDER'S last time it was the PRETENDER'S followed by BLONDE so BLOODY awesome and brother she is out there waiting for you while you're out there waiting for her stay positive and get out there and just be the kind empathetic dude you obviously are positive brings positive and vise versa be confident be you kia Kaha (stay strong) bro

[@lesliecollins3284]

You are so genuine. Love watching your reactions.😪

[@andreim.5324]

Just be patient, JB. SHE is somewhere out there and you will find her, or she will find you. Many years ago, i was feeling the same as you and had given up on women. And just when i decided that, SHE appeared for me. Now, both of us are watching your video, together 10 years later.

[@emanonfox1709]

James, put in your back pocket for the holidays: Pretenders - 2000 miles, XTC - Thanks for Christmas, Bowie/Bing - Drummer Boy, Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping. Chrissie delivered a perfect Christmas song.

[@emanonfox1709]

I need to add Alison Moyet, Dolores O'Riordan, Aretha Franklin, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Celene Dion, Dolly Parton... we need more of this!

[@supergeeky7529]

Chrissie's voice is perfection! I love her!

[@JJ-rb8sc]

Young man take it from a social worker. Who's been practicing for 30 years? If you never had it. You tend to be attracted to What's most familiar? Your family if there was a room filled with fabulous giving women who would stand by you. And in that room there was one woman who is like your family. That's who you would gravitate to. Therapy helps a lot and being aware of that. You're a great young man. With a big heart and a lot of insight great people are out there. Keep the faith. And remember what Maya Angelou said when someone shows you who they are the first time. Believe it. . Thank you for your great work.

[@Jody525252]

This group is fantastic!!!! Christie Hynde has a beautiful voice, yes times are so different from the 60's 70's sadly, you will find that person that shares the same soul as you ,✌🦋

I'm the same way James. Loyalty means alot, but its hard to come by. I used to have, it felt like, hundreds of friends......... 20 yrs later.......... seems like nobody. That's why I watch your channel. You remind me of myself. You're a good man brother.

[@emanonfox1709]

Chrissie Hynde is in a class of her own, just like Karen Carpenter, Stevie Nicks, Janis Joplin, Ann Wilson, Whitney Houston, Grace Slick, Diana Ross.... INIMITABLE!!!

You owe it to yourself. there's nothing more important than good soul....nothing at all ! I know, I have been there, I saw it all.

That's me with my fella he works so hard true gentleman gets so stressed n I'm there looking after him ,,, there are good ladies out there don't give up and good men I got one of them

[@solarnaut]

perversely there is a natural tendency to want what we cannot have, so for many playing hard to get is a working strategy. That's not necessarily right or healthy, but often is.

[@sharonjarrett8953]

The Pretenders made this song first old school group

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Saw her in concert a few years back and this was the standout song. Bigger than Brass in Pocket. Unfortunately it was an opening act for ZZ Top so the fans were not really her group. Still it held up well.

[@26shedan]

always have loved this song, it's my song to my kids.
