"Red Zone" Series - Praying by Kesha (Music Video & Grammys) *warning* discussion around SA

[@jametz1987]

The last moment, when she’s clearly starting to cry, and she reaches out (literally) only to be embraced by the women around her is so beautiful. Women in community are powerful.

[@matejburic1388]

And to think bebe rexha stood with her ❤ kesha's mom warned bebe when she was still trying to break through not to work with luke.. and bebe had bad expiriences with him too

[@MzQTMcHotness]

The opening monologue is my internal monologue every day for the last three years. I’ve got nothing left to offer, and I don’t understand why God keeps making me wake up every fucking day.

[@mendwithmere]

I’m sending you love and ask that you be shown exactly what you need to understand your purpose. More than that, I hope you get relief from all you went through and currently going through

[@graciescullion9709]

My favorite lines are: I found a strength I have never known ( finding that strength in the darkness of r and sa is to me so empowering) and some things only God can forgive. I believe that 1000%

[@mendwithmere]

YES!!!!!

[@instrumentsmrti]

my favorite lyric is "i'll bring thunder, i'll bring rain, and when i'm finished they won't even know" it's just so powerful to express the anger that comes with it please do fine line, it's so beautiful

[@guilhermemiranda7983]

I'm so happy for your reaction, Kesha is one of my faves. Love from Brasil

[@mendwithmere]

So good!

[@ericscott78]

"Sometimes I pray for you at night" The strength it takes to pray for someone who has done you so wrong is incredible. It is truly admirable.

[@laura.b.1989]

I’m so glad you reacted to Kesha, she’s such an amazing artist! I feel with this album she was trying to be positive whereas her latest album is more ‘truthful’ about the darker feelings and more reflective. Would recommend you reacting to some songs from Gag Order but wow are some of them heavy!

[@tinkerthetinyrobot]

i’m the biggest kesha stan of all time

[@brunocardoso2977]

I WAS NOT expecting this!!! I'm so happy!!! Kesha deserves so much - she's such a strong and talented woman with a beautiful soul!!! (I'll watch it after the VMAs are over)

[@bluelightvisions]

so happy you did this one! Thank you for being so vulnerable with your audience. This meant a lot to me in 2017, it came out at the time where I really really needed it. And I definitely could connect back to that feeling with seeing your reaction. If you ever want to react to more kesha, she has a lot of good stuff from her new album “Gag Order” (a reference to the fact that she was still in a lawsuit while creating it). I’d definitely recommend “Fine Line”, “Living in My Head” and/or “All I Need is You” 💙

[@instrumentsmrti]

yes!

[@bmacd13]

It’s available!!! So happy x

[@mendwithmere]

Can’t believe it finally cleared!!!

[@ambermccullen270]

I’m crying. This song is so freaking powerful!!!! So excited for your book.

[@bekkapaul5815]

The live performance is my "I need a good long cry" video for SURE. So much power and pain and honesty all wrapped together in her vocie.

[@TGMatter]

Hey Mere! Thanks for this! I did a presentation about this song last year and how she fought against @@@@@ culture, i'm still traumatized after it! She's so brave though ❤

[@mendwithmere]

Wow! That’s so cool! She is very brave

[@bryancarson5908]

Omg I totally forgot about this song and am so happy and surprised you did it! Very powerfully

[@MichelleJudithh]

Love your reaction Mere, next you've to react Starlight by Oktaf Kanis, thank youu 💕

[@aidenrushing9841]

I've been listening to this song for years. And it still gets to me. I've been in "depths of despair" moment for a few weeks. But I have learned over the years (and have tried to remember) that it's not the end. It's just another chapter in the book of journey and so much remains unwritten.

[@aidenrushing9841]

"Colors feel muted for me." YAAASS! That's what it feels like. And then when you are coming out of that space suddenly the sun is brighter, the sky is bluer, the trees are greener, etc.

[@BrittinatreeD-Y-I-N-G]

The monologue she said in the beginning tore me to shreds. I’d give anything to get to the other side.

[@shaunah7373]

I had no idea what this song was about. It hits so different now. ❤

[@silenesmutna]

Hi Mere! I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate your work, you seem so sweet and I can’t imagine a better person for this type of content💙I am beyond proud of you for your book, you deserve the world! I don’t know if you’d be down but I’d love to see your reaction to Dancing with the devil by Demi Lovato, it’s really heavy, yet so empowering, I thought you might be interested. If not, that’s totally fine, record only the reactions you truly want and always put yourself first! Thank you so much one more time…take care💙💙

[@lavender7725]

omg i had to get the perks to see this reaction!! love you so much💗💗 are you taking requests by any chance?

[@mendwithmere]

I’m so sorry, this video got blocked!

[@GunPowderGelatine]

love your reaction ad your soul, thank you dearly

[@outsider120]

I recommended: "Silent All These Years" by Tori Amos. And "Recoking" from Alanis Morissette.

[@tinkerthetinyrobot]

are you trying to kill her!!! ouch!!!!

[@MikeHarley10]

Next do a reaction for Oktaf Kanis - Starlight, thank you Mere!

[@avalovesuu]

love you sm for posting this thank you! hope ur doing well mere🤍

[@FelipeGarica37]

Can you do Shadow by Kesha.

[@mandyrhee]

Mere you must do 'Starlight' by Oktaf Kanis, thank you ❤

[@malikbou6733]

Speaking of pigs, please react to Swine by Lady Gaga. (Fun fact, it was featured in the hunting ground film) It’s about her rage she felt from being r/sa. Thank you Mere.

[@Clinty727]

The fact this lost the Grammy to a generic Ed Sheeran song is criminal.

[@stephaniesmith9479]

It gets exhausting always having to be strong honestly but we do it

[@GarethLone]

Next reaction: "Starlight" by Oktaf Kanis.

[@m1zzone723]

Cindy Lauper being there and singing. Omg please listen to women!!! Hear their voices!

[@VioletEmerald]

Amazing reaction. I've adored this song for many years now but I've never seen either of these videos. This was so great. I'm really curious to understand more about the Fair Use process and KZbin member process and generally becoming monetized even if most of your videos are treated as not monetizable. I have been thinking about my own options for monetizing my fanvideo KZbin channel by posting other videos occasionally that could be monetized since KZbin keeps reminding me i could become a KZbin partner, based on views but I am so confused about if I really would be allowed... but also just thinking about making a second KZbin channel that's the monetized one and considering what kind of videos could be posted there. I just found it interesting you brought this up in here.

[@txsgreen714]

Please do something off GaG Order by Kesha. It's an album processing getting out of toxic situations. So powerful

[@midnightsrain101]

You will love her new album gag order

[@amandalogo9993]

💯 Especially hate me harder!!

[@xxrafaelxxmedinabalbuena7280]

I would love it if you could react to the album this song belongs, It's really beautiful and personally it helped me through adolescence

[@wildbro765a]

React to her new song "eat the acid" ... It s a cosmic journey...

[@matejburic1388]

Oh you should hear her new album Gag Order. Its her last album with luke's label. Her contract is officialy done. Its her liberalon album and its very uncomfortable and healing and even fun and angry... just so many things, its defenetly a journey

[@christopherking4932]

Awesome video.

[@impushon]

Oh my god. ❤❤❤❤

[@thytuz]

I love it

[@lanareydotcom]

tysm for these reactions idk how to describe it but you're just so comforting

[@brunocardoso2977]

A curious fact: Kesha said that she never watched this performance. She's very insecure about it and is afraid of seeing anything that might be considered a "flaw". I wish she knew how good she was and how proud we all are.

[@bozhenabunny]

Can you please react to Raye’s song called Ice Cream man, I think it’s a good one to analyze, love your reactions❤️❤️

[@Evan-pl8dv]

This made me ball

[@bruisedkneesclub]

you should react to “Go Home” by Julien Baker. she’s one of my favs and i would love to hear what you think 💙

[@mmomal1748]

I hope you learn about the background for this experience.

[@m4ckenziedc]

The depths of despair is way too familiar to me :/

[@JuanCabrera-kl3pc]

React to any song from kesha’s new album GAG ORDER. I recommend u Fine Line! But eat the acid and something to believe in are good choices too

[@willpazmino6744]

Can you react to Rainbow by Kesha, please? I love that song.

[@courtneywasherefirst]

Have you reviewed “The Heart Wants What It Wants” by Selena Gomez? That still gets me right in the feelies. The 2014 AMA performance was emotional, too.

[@landon4351]

Its an empath song

[@Lanita1984]

You should listen to mars Argo her songs are DEEP

[@whistleking3407]

Can u listen to (Best Thing I Never Had) by Beyoncé please ❤

[@laura.b.1989]

P.s. Could you please add Olivia Rodrigo songs from her new album to your long list of requests? 😊

[@rumahdiujungjalan]

Please reacting to BLACKPINK - KILL THIS LOVE

[@simrangill2012]
