Pop Singer Reacts to Children of Bodom part 2 (In Your Face, Downfall, Oops I Did It Again REACTION)

[@evix2927]

RIP Alex, what a legend

[@LegendMathai]

Alexi***

[@ThaBeatConductor]

Alexi*

[@seetaami5810]

Aleksi was his third given name, in case someone wants go by the good old Finnish orthography. Edit: Just fetched one t.

[@HiltusenAatu]

​@@LegendMathai aleksi*

[@pPmAn475]

He wasn’t noticed enough for his great solos and songs

[@therickman1990]

Their Oops I did it again cover is just legendary

[@moonchant]

It shows also how metal isn't just hatred and pain. There is plenty of joy and laughter in this world too.

[@brandonharris9160]

It's horrible. But it's hilarious. Downfall is legendary

[@nikovarinowski8807]

Billy Idol (Rebel Yell) and Iron Maiden (Aces High) covers are great too...

[@miskaa66]

​@@nikovarinowski8807 I like Bodom's aces high better

[@faicher]

@@nikovarinowski8807 Don't forget "I'm shipping up to Boston" from Dropkick Murphys

[@ianbubble1378]

How metal are you? Jami: "I hold my bird while listening to Children of Bodom." 💯❤️🔥

[@bohdantanker]

At Oops I did it again, if you are wondering what is said in Finnish in the middle: -Guys, hey, I have really go going now -Hey before you go see what I brought you -Goddamn that is good looking..isn't this.. -Yes yes,it is a sixback - yes! -You wouldn't have needed to do that, good fellow, besides we have strong liquors -Yea yea, but for the morning

[@artokilponen6989]

I actually wanted to check whether someone translated this before commenting :) Also in the end of the song "Ei se mitään" = "Oh that's nothing" ("It's ok").

[@pieterjansenvanrensburg7322]

There is a 4K remastered version of their 2003 live show at Tuska Open air music festival. In their hometown. Their best show in my opinion. Alexi was an absolute animal on that day.

[@Mpimpimpi123]

Yes. I really wish i could be there.

[@Jim_86]

8:58. Perkele is a Finnish word meaning "evil spirit" and a popular Finnish profanity, used similarly to English "god damn".

[@user-karyakinvv]

Children of Bodom - the best melodic death metal band :)

[@KaiMarcad]

I remember Alexi saying years ago in a Finnish interview that after you have played guitar for ten years and within that time learned all theory and techniques there is from black metal to bossanova, that's the point you can start calling yourself a guitarist. No matter how hard that sounds, he lived up to his words. There are clips in KZbin where he plays Jazz (Stray Cat Strut), classical (Vivaldi) and jams with the top blues guitarists.

[@farficknugan]

Agreed. I still remember reading his article in Guitar Player magazine. He definitely had a very special talent, which won't be matched for a long time forward, if ever

[@finnishculturalchannel]

Their take on CCR's "Lookin' Out My Back Door" is pretty fun listening. Watching and listening Alexi and Roope play Vivaldi's "Four Season/Summer" is also uplifting.

[@JeremyBarbell]

Also the video for that cover is supposed to be very similar to the CCR video.

[@SimoExMachina2]

Do keep in mind, these guys were probably out of their minds drunk when recording "Oops"-song. They were literally just having some intoxicated fun and recorded their take on the song. And it still turned out better than the original.

[@andreasnilsson7711]

Can't argue with that. 😂

[@AgeofJP]

Alexi was ON POINT with the vocals though...was on-pitch with every note using a mixed scream vocal technique (which is far more advanced and difficult than your average scream or growl). Alexi had quite a unique and advanced vocal style for primarily being known as a guitarist/songwriter

[@Jim_86]

Children of Bodom was a Finnish melodic death metal band from Espoo. Formed in 1993 as Inearthed. The band was required to create a new name to sign up to Spinefarm Records. The contract with Shiver records had already been signed under the name of Inearthed. The answer to that problem came as the members looked for good names in their local phone book. When they stumbled upon Lake Bodom, they realized that it was a name with impact and one which had an interesting story behind it. A long list of possible names involving the word Bodom was then made, and they settled with Children of Bodom. The band's name is derived from the Lake Bodom murders. The Lake Bodom murders is one of the most infamous unsolved homicide cases in Finnish criminal history. On 5 June 1960, at Bodom Lake in Espoo, Uusimaa, Maila Björklund and Anja Mäki (both 15) and Seppo Boisman (18) were killed by stabbing and blunt-force trauma to their heads while sleeping inside a tent. The fourth youth, Nils Gustafsson, then aged 18, was found outside the tent with broken facial bones and stab wounds. Despite extensive investigations, the perpetrator was never identified and various theories on the killer's identity have been presented over the years. Gustafsson was unexpectedly arrested on suspicion of committing the murders in 2004, but he was found not guilty the following year.

[@bryanselchFL]

He was the absolute greatest musician of our generation! Legendary vocals, guitar riffs, and if you didnt know, a violin virtuoso as a child!

[@Dueiso]

I think is one of the top, not the greatest. Fabio Lione, Andre Matos, Tobias Sammet, are just a few examples.

[@Orimthekeyacolite]

When you said "Downfall" was requested I asked myself what is my favorite CoB song... turned out there's about Top-20 that are all on the same level))

[@XWeedhunterX]

I love how a pop singer can appreciate metal music. Your birdie reminded me of a family relatives bird that when I was young and we visited. the bird used to fly on my shoulder when I started playing children Of Bodom from a CD player and we moshed together. Such feels thank you Jami

[@strelov1520]

I just love their music, same as lots of Finnish metall scene representatives

[@ninaturunen4164]

That bird Is awsome! 🦜😁

[@nejobeigott2928]

its so awesome that you appreciate metal music as you do...not many people do that! thank you ! 🤘

[@mickonosmickorasmus3933]

A few times I saw them live they did a cover of Rihanna's Umbrella at the end of the set. Was a hilarious end to a gig.

[@Judderfingers]

I would highly recommend doing a reaction video to Unleash the Archers they are an amazing band!

[@scardera]

Im getting chills everytime downfall starts!

[@Alexanderius]

Same, and especially in the bridge part!

[@xerodelacroix5552]

I think I have permanent back pain from the amount of times I was in the pit during Downfall.

[@juhavaris2144]

R i.p Alexi Laiho ❤️

[@dennypayne]

Soooo glad you're enjoying COB! I think you should check out "Sixpounder" it's one of their best riffs - "Children of Decadence" and "Are You Dead Yet" would also be good ones. Their best cover is the Ramones "Somebody Put Something In My Drink" IMO but you gotta love them doing Britney too 😄 RIP Alexi.

[@randalladams7692]

That's cool that you're giving metal a chance it's a genre that's underground that's why it's so big and your parent is a metal parrot now you are officially crowned a metalhead after watching this video love the second video and the keyboards in this band keep rocking

[@Galrath101]

It's so amazing seeing first time reactions to these songs. Brings me back to middle school/high school days.

[@joonassiljamo8551]

Nice reaction, i love Children of Bodom, i also love how you interact with your bird. :D I had budgies when i was young and they acted just like your bird. Bodom was really good live but i don't like live videos because of poor quality. I've seen them many times live because i'm Finnish. First time i saw them live was in city of Jyväskylä in -97 or 98. They were promoting their first album. Last time i saw them was in 2017 John Smith festival at Laukaa Finland. Alexi was in bad shape but he and other guys gave great show. :D

[@jaakkomaaniemi2136]

Yes, COB! I always love to see them get seen. Great music.

[@frozenpie6438]

This was a pleasure to watch, thanks :))

[@frozenpie6438]

Btw If there'd be one album from cob to nominate as their best, I'd suggest to listen to Are you dead yet in it's entirety, maybe one of the most epic albums in metal...ever

[@LegendMathai]

Glad I got to see them before Alexi passed. You should check out the band Merciful Fate/King Diamond. You want vocals, there’s a reason he’s called King.

[@ApocalypseRider]

Awesome!! I really liked this bc these aren't very popular songs amongst reactors. Maybe we get CoB part3 soon? I throw my three songs here that you haven't done yet: Needled 24/7, Morrigan, Under grass and clover. And maybe more of my favorite band, Arch Enemy someday...

[@ThaBeatConductor]

She hasn't done archenemy yet? We need to get her to do part 1 and part 2 with alyssa and angela eras.

[@Morhgoz]

Downfall is one me favourites of Bodom and Bodom's Oops I did again is like one me top 10 karaoke choices

[@Gobletofgyore]

Please react to their "Rebel Yell" cover! You'll get to know how Alexi sounds with clean vocals. Another great one is "Widdershins" too!

[@lujalainen1]

i just love it this reaction. thanx and have great weekend. long live alexi and bodom. never forget.

[@AHVENAN]

I think you should also react to one of their later songs like I worship Chaos or also the band Bodom After Midnight which was going to be Alexis next band but sadly he died before they could finnish their first racord, they did posthumously release an EP of three songs they already had recorded, called Paint the sky with blood, and the title track is AWESOME!

[@morbid333]

Downfall's a classic, Hatebreeder was probably my favorite album of theirs, it had a lot of neoclassical ideas going on in the music. The Stockholm Knockout DVD had an interesting version of Downfall, they expanded the intro and threw in a medley of riffs from different bands. I never got to see them live, but I remember seeing a clip years ago of them doing part of Rihanna's Umbrella, that sounded pretty good too.

[@Nate-r2m]

Thats one of many covers they did for fun (they have a cover album). There's many more they never released but did play some live on occasion like Gaga and Rihanna songs. I think there might be a couple KZbin vids uploaded by fans who recorded those shows. Alexi was a huge fan of 80s rock and modern pop/rap music.

[@TwoandaHater]

You've got to give Leprous a shot (Castaway Angels, Running Low, and maybe Silent Revelation)?

[@janihaavisto79]

LoL, that bird didn't feel the Bodom wibes as much as Jami did. No wonder, Jami shaked it like an eggshaker or some of those instruments... You got good taste in music, same as your husband. Still is it weird I'm jealous of that parrot/whatever mix it is. 😂 🤣😂 Need to ask my gf to get more into metal too. All she wants is pop. Even rap is too much for her. Dang it

[@richardjones2811]

It's the melody that got me hooked too.

[@philipspinks1901]

2 out of my 3 favourite songs of theirs and my favourite cover! 🤘🤘❤❤

[@gnomche]

the bird is the cutest thing ever.....

[@metalmayhem007]

Only came across your channel in your part 1 reaction to this. Really enjoyed that you were enjoying COB with that bird in your hand 😂 The mark that Alexi and COB left was legendary. Was really sad to hear when he passed so young, probably been saddened the most by any death of musician for me personally. COB got me falling in love with melodic death when I was 16. I hope you do Dark Tranquillity and Arch Enemy if you haven't already. Just subbed.

[@wanmac31]

😁🇫🇮❤️🎼🎸✨💙🤘 Edit. Love your douple reacts (3!)😊🎶✨👍 And that Beautiful Bird, in gentle hands 💙 try Wintersun 'Sons of Winter and Stars', another Great Finnish metal band 🇫🇮🎸

[@cashewshalom]

Agreed... and live rehearsal at Sonic Pump Studios session. 🤘🏼

[@separaattori957]

in your face, such a a great opening

[@patrickwoody2876]

Your reaction to Oops I did Again was I was acting when I first heard it in High School

[@Calmcleanmind]

Would you please do more children of bodom videos 😍 ”you’re better off dead” ”kissing the shadows” and ”suicide bomber” are a few of my ABSOLUTE favorites if you want to check those out 😊

[@reynev4n]

I randomly got my hands on Follow the Reaper tape (yes, tape!) during highschool somewhere in 2001 or 2002 and was a fan of them (and melodeath as a whole) ever since. Many metalheads don't like keyboards and such but for me they kinda also opened the door to electronic music and I started listening to basically any genre (except country, because come on :D). Funny how things sometimes work.

[@Vaikuttamaton]

Niin niin.. mut aamuksi! 😂

[@Jesse.336]

One of my many favorite bands

[@Megamind84]

R.I.P THE LEGEND!!! Alexi Laiho forever!

[@azrenwatkins]

RIP, on another note, you should do the acoustic versions of Bad Omens, you really get to see Noah's vocal talent in them.

[@dkorody81]

Alexi Laiho an absolute legend of music and life.

[@JimmyRJump]

I'm sixty-one and my neighbours know where I live. I keep the local deliverer of J&B in business and my liver is quite okay with the way things are going. Children Of Bodom is one of the few bands with a growling singer I listen to. Dark Tranquillity is the other one. Grew-up on the usual suspects, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd. Later Iron Maiden, Metallica, Manowar, Judas Priest. Have a great life chickadee and spare no mercy towards thyne neighbours. Except when they have children or kittens. Be gentle to them.

[@jumi3902]

If anyone is wondering what they are talking about before oops i did it again solo A: Hey guys, for real - I'm leaving now! J: Hold on! Before you take off... look what I brought to you. A: OMG, that looks amazing... isn't this... J: That's right, a sixpack! A: C'mon! You did not have to! Besides, we've got those strong beverages. J: I know, but it's for tomorrow morning!

[@Jim_86]

RIP. Alexi Laiho 8 April 1979 - 29 December 2020

[@Chiefbeaner78]

Love CoB! Please react to The Ghost Inside's Aftermath!!!! I love seeing people reaction to the video. Such a great band! Other TGI songs: Between the Lines, Mercy, Engine 45.

[@Feedstraydogg]

Bodom After Midnight check out the last songs Alexi made before his death.

[@FendertheBender]

Alexi was a genius. His song writing, vocals and guitar playing were second to none in my opinion. Taken way too soon, may he rest in peace ❤ #CoBHC Could you react to black widow, kissing the shadows and towards dead end? You'd love them, they're so melodic!

[@juancastaneda9525]

My favorite melodic death metal band C.O.B. R.I.P. LEGEND ALEXI LAIHO

[@demondrive147]

Well, now you're officially a metalhead. You discover a mind-blowing band and it's already disbanded, members are either dead or in jail :D

[@blechtic]

You might like Omnium Gatherung, Insomnium and Wintersun. Maybe also check out Ensiferum and Sonata Arctica.

[@stephaneficara4501]

I really think you, as a singer, should see the work of Julie Christmas and Lingua Ignota. Both are surreal singers, by the most creative in "extreme" music, metal or so. For Julie Christmas, you can check a song live (that's were she gives a 100%) from the video "Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas - Mariner - Live at De Kreun" with the timecode 17,25. The song is "The Wreck of S.S. Needle". And two more, if you go by three : "How to Get bigger" with the band Made Out of babies, and "Bones in the Water" with Battle of Mice. Always Julie Christmas singing (and clearly my #1 singer). For Lingua Ignota, go with "Do you doubt me traitor" and that will already be something :D

[@iiroliukka1032]

3:31. WT*..... :D what a perfect timing for the section there :D

[@iiroliukka1032]

@JamiNuness really? What did i win? 🫠

[@Hoppitossahn]

Now I know it has been a while since you recorded this, but IF (pleaaase) you’ll do this again, I HIGHLY recommend you watching lyrics-videos of ”towards dead end”, ”are you dead yet” and ”taste of my scythe” (my faaavorite). That would be 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@tamenrayy]

You should do Voices In My Head and Popular Monster by Falling In Reverse

[@williambiron2726]

Hey great reaction! I wanna let you know though that the video for In Your Face is way shorter than the original song, an entire solo was cut out and some measures without singing in the Pre choruses were cut, the intro is longer too. For a more "natural" listen of the song, the original is way better

[@alexduraev]

Hi Jami, I am dying to see you react to Saphath - Outcast of Eden music video. A new band that doesn’t mess around, serious production approach, even choirs are live recorded

[@adrianscorch]

If you haven’t already, on your own time, listen to their song “living dead beat”. It’s perfect for working out.

[@404.Errors]

There it is 🤘

[@mentaltelepathy24]

Next up listen to - DEVILOOF song Libido - I need to see reaction of your face when you hear these guys.

[@blykynqp]

Haveyour bird practiced in scream/growl vocals?

[@writersbrock9246]

I know it's very different, but may I suggest Polaris as a band to react to someday? They aren't as good as Children of Bodom, but they have some good music :). Bless

[@tehzimi]

PERKELE!

[@acl38355]

I would like to respectfully request you react to Eva Cassidy. Any of her songs. Maybe Somewhere Over the Rainbow?

[@anthonyholroyd5359]

If you like Children of Bodoms covers of pop songs? You need to check out the stuff 'Frog Leap Studios' puts out 😅 Also Turisas' cover of 'Rasputin' and Lacuna Coils cover of 'Enjoy the silence'.

[@bobharp3492]

Hello I'm new would like to see you react to Geoff castelluchi amazing new video cover ghost riders in the sky it's epic love to watch you react to Geoff thank you

[@prayashkerung]

You are pretty 😍

[@roimerlopez1275]

A cordial greeting to you!!... No one better than you, to analyze this incredible singer who is leaving all the experts, literally with their jaws on the floor (Do you remember Jim Carrey's movie "The Mask"?, well, like that)...In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"... In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"...Since then all this madness began on the internet, KZbin and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano... You can see in KZbin to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true... In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide... Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...www.youtube.com /watch?v=bDX3FhmyNac

[@roimerlopez1275]

@JamiNuness Wow!!...I can't wait for it!!

[@guillermorocha7764]
