NEVER Listened to LOUIS TOMLINSON - Reaction

[@MathewMcKenna]

Welcome back to another video you beautiful people! Today we're reacting to Louis Tomlinson! I hope you enjoy it. xx Hit me up on Insta / Twitter: @Mathew_McKenna . Let's be good friends! Who do you want me to react to next? ALSO: It looks like we'll close in on 10,000 subscribers soon. When we hit it, I think I'm gonna do my own song cover! What song would you like to hear me cover? Let's spread these videos around so we hit 10k sooner! Love you all 💚

[@eringayle]

Mathew McKenna Probably your most favorite song from all your NEVER LISTENED TO vids. Like the one you liked the most from all the new songs you got to first listened to. I hope you get me. Haha

[@chloeclemence2991]

Please react to songs from the Flash musical episode. Love your vids....😊

[@apoorrva]

for me, his vocals have changed a lot through these years and i think his voice has become so strong now that i love to hear it!

[@godspetal]

[@katharineforsyth1870]

His vocals have gotten worse. They were mediocre at best to start with, but he's continually gotten worse. I don't understand why these 'vocal coaches' are listening to studio versions of someone singing, when the pitch correction is so heavily used with people like Louis, due to the fact that they're completely unable to stay anywhere near on pitch. His studio versions are so vastly different from his live performances, and it's awful.

[@alouverz]

[@valehuber2232]

@@katharineforsyth1870 Its not tho, a lot of them reacted to louis live version and said the oposite, so if u arent a vocal coach dont talk, and stream walls

[@daniyahharis1430]

I can relate to the way you understand these songs. But just so you know, Louis sang Just Hold On for his mother who passed away nearly a year ago. I recommend that you listen to the words of the song separately. They're amazing

[@MathewMcKenna]

Knowing that, I'll definitely have another listen, thank you xx

[@daniyahharis1430]

Thankyou! That would mean a lot, specially for him

[@kelsea5533]

Yep same

[@vilina5331]

He didn't write it for his mum, but he performed it after she passed away and dedicated it to her. It made sense then.

[@MaryolDame]

vilinahujart it's possible that he wrote them for her, seeing as she was at the last stages of her disease at the end of the year

[@Ash_tommo]

Louis' voice is the best 😌

Haha maybe some people live under a rock like me 😂

[@eleonorap]

react to louis’ new single ’’miss you” which will be out this friday!

[@eleonorap]

whoa that sounded so commanding. imma add a ”please” in there (:

[@colourupyourlife1691]

the last song just hold on is actually about louis' mom who died almost a year ago because of cancer. He performed it on x-factor for the first time just a few days after her death

[@MathewMcKenna]

Well that's incredibly sad. Very sweet of him though ❤

[@villanieaannisa2146]

no actually, he realased it before his mom passed away but you're right, he performed it one week after her mom passed away

[@colourupyourlife1691]

Villaniea Annisa the Song was Released on Dec 10th and johannah died on Dec 7th🙈

[@allburtj703]

He didn't write the song and produce it in 3 days. Don't mean to be rude. Just saying

[@viol8ts]

so far, i've binge watched your 1d videos, and now i'm sobbing for unknown reasons (ehem not because i miss them ehem) and i really appreciate how articulate you are with your reviews. i love how even though you don't like something, you'd still take time to appreciate their music/voice. also um yes i love this reaction video !!!!!! i usually don't watch reaction videos about louis because im really defensive n protective of him but im SO glad i clicked on this video. i agree with you on so many levels, about louis' voice and how clean it is. thank u for this great review n i cant wait for the next ones!

[@annie-pb8js]

[@ashemayo]

[@afraha7686]

Feel you on the protective part

[@imanfadlalla9640]

erin // SAMEEE

[@nusteamug]

actually i truly admire louis and his bravery. last year his mom passed away from cancer and a few days after he performed his debut song just hold on dedicating it to her so this song means a lot to him&us. he's been through a lot of issues for the past years, when in 1d he was quite insecure about his vocal abilities but he believed in himself and is doing great things now. im really proud. his new song miss you is coming out this friday, he's already performed it and it sounds amazing, definitely my fave one so far :) so i suggest you react to miss you later (when the music video comes out n stuff)

[@Luckshan]

Two of us....

[@as-tt7xt]

you are so decent, honest but NOT rude. thank you for being a nice human. respect.

[@vivienf6229]

In the video of "just like you" there are lots of articles of political issues(like blm,lgbt and about someone losing his mum aswell) ! He really worked to get messages out in the lyric video. One more reason to love him even more! Edit: I just saw that you noticed it aswell haha!

[@mollyb1299]

The way Louis pronounces his words is just his Doncaster accent coming through, and you're right it sounds really lovely!! Probably because it's so different to other singers :)

[@iamme3346]

Nice reaction! I love Louis. He's talented and I'm really touched by his sensitivity and heart. He has suffered from a lot of things and he is still standing.

[@MathewMcKenna]

Especially in Just Like You, I felt the emotion there!

[@floorheselmans1694]

Finally someone who appreciates our little Louis 😩❤️

[@bellegyeom]

Bebe's name is pronounced like "Bee-Bee Rex-ha" lol and she's Albanian, you should hear her solo stuff :D Steve's a record producer and an EDM DJ and his last name is pronounced like "A oh Key" so you were close 😂 And I love how you got the message to Just Like You and that you noticed the newspaper articles 😊 P.s - tyyyyyy for the shoutout ily 💕

[@MathewMcKenna]

Hahaha thank you, I assumed it was pronounced more or less like that XD. P.S. No! Thank you! You're amazing and ily too 💜

[@blondekeeho]

just saying it aint weird to say that the way someone pronounces words is nice. Like as a singer i am a sucker for someone with good diction

[@MathewMcKenna]

Okay good haha, was worried I sounded nuts.

[@rekabalazs3906]

You should to watch Louis performance on X-faktor with Just hold on, its really emotional

[@Jocelyn-js1nm]

yes

[@yohannabeatriz1725]

He was almost crying and it had a tightening in his heart

[@cassiecampbell2017]

Bless him... he has gone through so much with his mom and sister dying within a couple years of eachother... He is so strong.

[@MollyMoodle]

You deserve more subscribers. You're funny and honest with critics. It's so easy to watch you because despite if you enjoy it or not, it's easier to hear your side because you aren't rude. Keep it up 👏

[@MathewMcKenna]

Thank you!!! Being rude and mean about music is silly imo!

[@maishaali4734]

Oh my gosh I'm actually so happy you aren't hating on him like SO many people do. THANK YOU

[@leaconnor3719]

Louis shocked me the most out off all of them with his solo career. I didn't think he would do so well on his own but his music is brilliant it's right down my street.

[@aperson6231]

All of the lyrics on Louis’ songs have so much meaning he’s literally a lyrical genius

[@stopstalkingme6030]

He sings with his accent and it makes it so so pleasant to listen to and his voice has gotten slightly husky lately and ughhh I've fallen in love with him since he went solo

[@suttontoenies298]

Ahh! I love Lou to death. His voice, and accent (Donny boy) in my opinion is the most unique of One Direction and just listening to him talk and sing is pleasant. You should react to some One Direction interviews when their personalities and voices really shine through. Especially their live harmonies are crazy good.

[@swarleyyyy8206]

Gosh I clicked so fast.!!! I LOVE LOUIS Also, I suggest you listen to the lyrics of JHO once more because that's literally one of my favourite songs ever...I listen to it whenever I'm down.

[@daniyahharis1430]

Also, I love that you're honest with your criticism and don't hold back, we need people like those in the world. I love it when someone strategically criticises my voice, that way I know where to improve

[@MathewMcKenna]

I'm very happy to hear that! I figure that if I'm going to not give me honest thoughts, there's not really a point in reacting.

[@daniyahharis1430]

That is very true. I watch so many reactors that I know who is faking and who is not. Honestly you're one of the best reactor I've known so far! Hope you reach more success

[@elliefinnegan1039]

It’s nice to see somebody react so nicely. Lots of people say he sounds like a girl. I recommend listening to the lyrics of just hold on more carefully because, the song was written about his mom who passed away last year around this time. He has a new song coming out on Friday called missing you.

[@manonbooman1375]

It's so sad that louis, the first time he sing just hold on live was the day after his mother died😭❤

[@rafaelasilva2630]

I kinda wish you would've googled not only the artist but maybe the backstory to the songs cause Just Hold On is about his mom when she was struggling with cancer and her dying wish was for him to perform it at the X factor and he did it a couple of days after she passed. Musically that's my least favorite as well but I thought it would've been nice for you to take that into consideration when listening to the lyrics.

[@dianna4493]

i love how louis’ accent is still heard while singing he sound so cuuutee

[@1prettycutegirl]

This video is exactly the definition of why I like watching your videos. You don't just watch or listen to something for the sake of doing it. You analyze it and critic it. Point out the good and bad about something. And I agree with you when you say the teen choice performance sounded a bit of key. I have a feeling it might have something to do with they're in-ears since both of them sounded a bit off and on not just one. And I'm glad to enjoyed Louis material. He actually has a song coming out Friday Night GMT I believe if you would like to react to that song as well. Its called miss you. And I would love to see your reaction to it

[@MathewMcKenna]

Thank you! I like that my videos are a little more like music reviews. I feel like quite a few people expect me to just shower the artist with praise, but there are always things that could be done better! I think you're right, especially because both of them sounded off, y'know? More likely to be a tech issue than two great singers messing up at the same time.

[@cakebeforeheartbreak]

Best reaction to Just Like You in my opinion. I've been a little skeptical to subscribe I'll admit, but I love that you understand it because there was one reaction on here (not stating names) that called him ungrateful and a snobby rich boy and many more rude things. It's like they think money and fame equal 100% life happiness :/

[@MathewMcKenna]

Gaaahhhh that's frustrating. Money and fame don't just solve all your problems.

[@cakebeforeheartbreak]

Mathew McKenna exactly. if only everyone else thought that way

[@carolinea2897]

Louis' voice is beautiful and he's an angel. That's all I have to say.

[@yellowtear1157]

He brings out a new really really good song on friday called Miss You. You should listen to that too!!! I`ve only heard the live version until now but I already know it`s gonna be my favourite.

[@vanraymond441]

Josefine Wolf Its already my favorite too 😄

[@katehakanson310]

PLEASE react to his album Walls!!!

[@SilviettaM]

"Its a kind of fun song, that's what I feel, an adventure song" In fact 'Just Hold On' is the song Lou wrote for his mum, when she sadly pass away... Well done, Mathew 🤣 Oh and btw, Steve Aoki is one of the most famous Dj of these years 🙄😉

[@joa1191]

So I attended one of his live performances and comparing the videos I took to the video they posted (the X factor finale performance), I have noticed that they actually sound quite different. Since I study sound engineering, I think it may be because they apply filters to take the fans' screams out, and since these filters are applied to certain frequencies and his voice is so high, it might be why he sounds off key at certain points of his live performances.

[@pinkpantheress8566]

Now that you mention a person with “5SOS” in their username, you should react to 5SOS

[@Anni_Mau]

I think you will enjoy Louis' new music actually. But I think there is another reaction to him on your channel already. Will watch the rest of your videos now, just came across you and been watching all of them :D

[@myownworld4072]

I love how honest you are

[@whatdoyoubringliamnohair691]

You should've listened to Miss you, too, it's an amazing song. Louis has become a really great solo artist, don't get me wrong, he was also great in 1D, but he didn't get so many solos and now, the ppl have the chance (chonce xD) to actually realize how talented he really is, you guys get what I mean? Anyways, Lou's amazing.

[@tillyhodges46]

this may be two years late on the comments but listen to his new album “walls” 😌

[@inzanity490]

I love Louis but I agree with you so much about the live Back To You! I have so much mixed feelings about it too, mainly because the low notes were quite of a mess, but then they start singing the high notes and I'm just like no way these are the same people singing those shaky notes from before. It's been a long while since that performance though, in his recent livestream he's handled low notes a lot better. I hope he gets a lot more vocal coaching and learn more techniques, his voice has so much potential!

[@eringayle]

I like your background. Haha. The "REACT TO LOUIS!"

[@blossomingbex]

I can't wait for you to react to Liam! He's my favourite! Just so you're aware, the songs Liam has released so far weren't written by him, but he's a talented songwriter anyway and his album is out in January (which I hope you'll also react to!)

[@caryljannielazo4988]

BekahxPayno That's why I wasn't feeling Liam as much with his solo songs, it's because he had no part in writing them.

Just hold on is the song louis wrote to his mom while she was battling cancer. He was supposed to perform it for her at the xfactor for his debut, but she passed only a few days before his performance. That song is probably my favorite because all the hope and motivation he wanted to give his mom is in that song. I think you would like the live performance that he did with steve

[@ellisonwalsh896]

I'm so proud that you are one of those very few people who give their honest opinion and don't just say, " Oh yeah this was good, next!" You clearly put thought into your answers and I love that about you. also Louis wrote Just Hold On about his mum and he performed it on the X factor the day that she passed. That song also has a lot of meaning in it. R.I.P Jo. We miss you.

[@larissaalbrecht0908]

I really liked this and your videos in general. I think you're one of the few that actually understands music. You don't only say positive things about someone's music, because you don't want to disappoint the people who watch your videos. I feel like you are honest and explain why you like stuff or why you don't. Really appreciate that. 😊

[@rubymaed4815]

I love the accent compliment. Being from Yorkshire, you don’t get compliments for it often but within the 1D/Louis fandom it gets a nice bit of recognition 2:38

So this was my first video by you which came up on my recommendations (just another testament to how much I love Louis haha) and I actually really enjoyed it. Your reactions are very real and it's actual critic as opposed to playing it up for the camera. So many people think they have to act big and such, but I like the authenticity of this. Excited to see more genuie content from you!

[@claras.a6887]

I really like your reactions because you're honest of what you think and what you like, i think you deserve more subscribers

[@sonjamilenkovic6825]

Darling just hold on was written for his mother who was at the time very very sick, and only a few days before he was to perform the song for the first time his mother passed away, he still performed in honour of her and it was so beautiful and sad.

[@troybolton7725]

The meaning of the song Just Hold On is like pretty deep. It’s not like just have fun u know. He sang ir for the first time when his mother died and he was telling us in the song that things can be rough but u just have to hold on. Love the song one of my favorites and love Louis always.

I'm a massive Louis fan and I really enjoyed how technical you are. I have a big background in choir and theater competitions and I hate when people just say that hate songs without a reason.

[@cakebeforeheartbreak]

Also, this may not be your type of reaction but can you react to Louis performing 'Just Hold On' on The X Factor UK right after his mum died? It's seriously beautiful and you'll understand the song more if you do.

[@madscurr]

I recommend the following Foo Fighters music videos: "Everlong", "Learn to Fly", "Long Road to Ruin", and "Walk". They would each be really fun to react to.

[@danicaohvo6943]

I love how in Just like you it says It's the guy from the one band, like it gives me hope that they will come back.

[@haleydroll4693]

The reason the back to you live one was like that was because Louis didn’t like the way he had to change his song so I feel that was what was throwing him off but I love Louis he’s is an amazing and talented artist

[@shanaia1643]

Most of us love the way louis pronounces his words so you aren't alone. Also you should check out the performance of just hold on at the x factor 2016 he did it just after his mother passed away. PS- this must be weird but I felt like a proud mother when you were talking about louis. Like he's so precious to me and when someone praises him I get emotional. ❤

[@alexianeveys5100]

It's fun to hear that he seem very relaxed when he sings when you know that he has been really uncomfortable with his voice for so long, but anyway this live was the worst, I mean bebe rexha was sounding weird and Louis was souding lower than he used to (i'm french forgave the weir sentence) but anyway Louis has always been my favourite

[@צומלקראוראל]

[@nazarenagrivetto8272]

Louis is relaxed in the stage thanks to the fans cause he was so insecure about his voice cause the record label or some stupid people that can’t be as successful as him tell him shit, but we keep on supporting him and showing him how beautiful, special and soft his voice is 💗
