Robin Gibb - Please (Live) | REACTION

[@janicetrimmell6897]

Can't watch without crying. His grief is palpable, and yet he managed this beautiful performance.

[@debram7782]

Mo's just passed and as others have stated, Robin honored his commitments while grieving. Years later Robin would say in an interview that he never would get over losing Maurice. When ill, and close to the end of his life, it is said that Robin said he ''wished Mo was here''. Respect and love to Robin.

[@teresawillis2554]

His voice makes me cry!!! Every time I hear his voice I'm amazed at how effortlessly he sings. One of the best and most unique voices of all time 💝

[@cathyopthof8136]

His voice is sooo beautiful! You can see that he is dying.

[@kathystammen8774]

NOONE can touch his voice 😔

[@erica_goats1997]

I've always been Robin Gibbs fan and always will ❤️💕😢😭😩😘🤧 and no one can change that

[@susieq9801]

He performed this I believe only weeks after losing Mo. He made the commitment and kept his word. A true professional. He got a standing "O" just for having the courage to show up. Love his comment about a "beauty contest". That's how many performers are judged and there are so few good composers out there. They make garbage or redo older songs, often poorly. Also sad since he was quoted in one of their bios that he "knew what people thought of me. I was ugly but I have a characterful face and try to look nice". I don't agree at all. His beauty was not just superficial but soul deep. That's the kind of beauty that REALLY counts. THANK YOU Chad for doing this version too! ☺ So meaningful under the circumstances of the performance. To add, such a shame that Barry didn't want to perform with Robin after Mo died. I guess withdrawing was Barry's way of grieving but Robin's source of solace was in performing.

[@lindajames978]

Poor Robin, his grief is right there in this song, he never did get over Maurice's passing 😢❤❤

He was in so much pain......still missing you Robin xxx

This is a beautiful song. Awesome vocals by Robin Gibb. 🥰 “Please” by Robin Gibb was written by Michael Kwesi Graves & Errol Reid.

[@vickielewallen3799]

Beautiful! I love his unique voice..

[@eaccristo]

Beautiful as always. Hard to watch knowing Mo was gone just a few weeks. I can see the sadness. Glad some rose to their feet to honor him.

[@jeanwalters7576]

A beautiful song sang by Robin. I simply love his voice. He once said that losing Maurice was his 9~11. I am sure when he lost Maurice a part of Robin died as well.

[@susieq9801]

Absolutely, no doubt. Spencer said he never got over losing his twin.

[@paulakivelehan.beegeesme4076]

I would go as far as to say;. I don't believe we would have lost Robin to cancer either - the ten years after Mo's death took a terrible toll on Robin's health, emotionally and physically and he made no secret of wanting to be with his brother. Very sad🥲❤️

[@susieq9801]

@@paulakivelehan.beegeesme4076 - I agree Paula. First he hesitated for a while in following up with his health care because he said he was afraid after what happened to Mo. Also, he lost half of himself, his twin, best friend and confidant. He told his doctors he wanted to live and to do everything they could but maybe deep down inside he had lost the will to go on. The twins still had so much music left in them. Such a loss to the world. PS, going to London in October with a side trip to Thame.

[@paulakivelehan.beegeesme4076]

@@susieq9801 Brilliant Susie, Thame is so picturesque. The house, the grave are so close together - it's a joy to see and Robin's presence is felt. Take plenty of photos and enjoy. I hope the weather is kind to you. October has dark days, rain and cold temperatures. Wrap up well. Safe travels. ✈️❤️

@@paulakivelehan.beegeesme4076 - Thank you. My friend couldn't get her passport in time to make our own plans so we are taking a tour including Amsterdam and Paris. With all the recent travel chaos it might be better anyway. I prefer to go on my own without a tour. You feel like a herd of cattle mooooving along. At least the tour is only 20 people. She applied in early April but has been told she'll get it next week, over 3 months! I've arranged to go to Thame on a free day. October is going to be beautiful. It wouldn't DARE rain on my parade. 😜

[@Zlata1313]

One of the most beautiful songs Robin's sung. Co written by Errol Reid the backup singer behind him. It's perfect for Robin's voice.

[@christinestornable1816]

This is was so sad to watch. You can see the grief in his eyes. But he's such a pro he will honor his commitments even 1 month after Mo's death. So sorry for him. Thank you Chad.

[@debbysuedettloff8171]

His voice resonates!!!!

[@musicalyte1]

The Magnet album was Robin’s attempt to help promising song writers get a start. He was paying it forward.

Robin has a fantastic voice, he is a great song writer! Thank you!

[@beegeesbuster1]

Yes he was a great song writer, but most of the songs on the Magnet album were not written by him or his brothers. This song was written by Michael Graves & Errol Reid. Why it says Bernie and Elton John above must be up to the uploader to explain, because that is not correct.

[@juanita6479]

*beegeesbuster1* Yes, you're right, most of the songs from this album were written by young artists, whose careers Robin was eager to promote offering them his own experience, as always, thinking in helping others.

[@stephaniebuie2750]

Thank you for this Chad. My heart breaks for Robin here as you know his thoughts are with Mo. real tearjerker.

[@lclark6854]

In my opionion he is miming here. This was common on TV shows but I think Robin did mime more as he got older. He did well even to turn up here. I actually feel that this was one of his better interviews. He was probably too upset to try and be funny and it comes across as more natural. I find it fascinating that he said music "is not a beauty contest" and surely must reflect his hurt at how he was treated in the past when Barry was seen as the handsome one.

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

Yes, they all used a lot of back-tracking in their concerts as they got older. They would sing along with the recorded songs. But Robins beautiful voice held out the longest of the 3 brothers. I only noticed it changed once he had gotten very ill. By then, even his speaking voice had changed.💔

[@susieq9801]

Absolutely. He was always labelled as the buck toothed brother and not considered handsome. Looks do not determine talent!!!

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

@@susieq9801 Totally agree! But I have to add that once Robin had his teeth fixed and came out of the gangly teenage phase, Welp he developed into an astonishingly beauuutiful human being!! OMG. I loved when he gained a few healthy pounds! He was a Gorgeous man!#SWOON. Hard to take your eyes off of him. And his personality only added to his appeal to me.😉 And then to top it all off he had an out of this world beautiful, beautiful soul-piercing voice! Ok, I'll try to shut up, before I sound like an obsessed CraZy fan!... What? Too late for that!?lol😁 😜 (Hey ya, Susie! Hope you been doing good!)

@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 - I would have fought the Red Army just to shake his hand. His beauty was both skin deep and soul deep. I thought he was hot as hell! 🧨🌋 Even when he was young and awkward he was like a puppy dog you wanted to bring in out of the rain. The voice transcended everything. Going to the UK in October and visiting Thame. 😊😊

[@gingerduran1592]

Love this reaction, Chad! I think you would really like and appreciate a song from Robin's Titanic Requiem album: Don't Cry Alone. It's the only one he sang on... (I believe anyway). The album was produced shortly before his death with his son Robin-John as a tribute to the Titanic disaster. Lovely album, but very classical in it's nature.

[@dp3396]

Yes!! Robin had been scheduled to sing it live at The Titanic Requiem premier commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, but was hospitalized. He worked every minute he could, even though he was obviously sick. Some would have hidden out of sight from the cameras, but he didn’t. It can be difficult to watch him wasting away and hear his beautiful voice become weak, but I can’t even express how much respect on top of respect I have for how he worked and gave interviews until he literally no longer could. DON’T CRY ALONE is a must do reaction!!

[@gabyehebrecht7435]

Absolutely worth a reaction. This is a wonderful song

[@sonistowe1448]

[@ConnieKWONG-lw4zl]

All his grievance for his beloved twin brother was in his deep side of the heart 😢😢😢

[@francisxray9900]

Yes, music isn't a beauty-contest and never, in case of real music, it'll be! He nailed it!

[@karis_H.2000]

It's so interesting that Robin wrote a song that would, soon after, have a very personal meaning he never could've expected. It's amazing that he managed to perform that song live that well after his twin brother had just died. But, then again, he did say that Mo's passing drove him to more songwriting and singing. But, still. The song he sang must've been so hard for him to sing because he could relate it to the very recent passing of his twin brother. And, I'm sure that's all he was thinking about when he was singing the song. Robin really is someone to be admired and respected. This live version really does sound just like the studio version; I feel like it might've been lip synced.

[@susieq9801]

It was live.

[@Zeathree]

Robin did not write "Please". The whole point of the Magnet album was to highlight songwriters he felt had promise and needed exposure. I do agree that the meaning of this song changed for him with Maurice's passing and the fact that he could perform at all is amazing. He looks like he visibly aged in a few short weeks. So much sorrow on his face.

[@susieq9801]

@@Zeathree - He always tried to promote young performers. Yes, he did age practically overnight. The interview he and Barry gave the day after Mo died he looked like a ghost himself.

[@karis_H.2000]

@@Zeathree Oh. Well still. So sad!

[@karis_H.2000]

@@susieq9801 Oh, wow! The talent of those Gibb bros is insane! I knew they sounded amazing live and that they clearly didn't always lip sync, I just remember people commenting on some of their live performances on KZbin and saying that they lip synced those songs, which would make sense because they sounded exactly like the recorded versions to me. So, since this live performance, also, sounded exactly like the recorded version to me, I just assumed it was lip synced. If there's one thing I should've learned about the Gibb bros, it's to never assume anything about them because they've done so many different things in their careers. Just when you think you've got them all figured out, you hear something from them that completely throws you off and surprises and amazes you.

Love how songs can take on different meanings for different times. Chad, I was going to suggest reactions to a few of the songs the Gibbs wrote for others. There's Chain Reaction by Diana Ross and also a little known gem written for Leo Sayer...Heart stop beating in time.
