Robert Palmer - Addicted To Love VS. Shania Twain - Man! I Feel Like A Woman! | REACTION

[@bigglesharrumpher4139]

FINALLY! Someone 'Got it' and decided to compare the Original with the satirical.

[@Kayjee17]

Robert's was supposed to be satirical too. He was commenting on how women (already) were used like mannequins in the background of videos. Shania just flipped the script.

[@bkm2797]

At least the girls look like they are making an attempt to pretend playing the guitars vs, the guys in Shania's,lol.

[@voiceofraisin3778]

As mentioned above, people dont always notice how satirical Robert Palmer was. He's been described as the most married man in show business...as in one wife, no groupies,no distractions, married! Supposedly the record company were pressuring him to make more sexy videos, to make himself the romantic lead of songs, he objected because...married! They kept insisting and persisting. So he turned round and said they want girls, they want glamour, lets turn the dial up to 11! Possibly 15! From interviews the models were having a blast and struggling not to laugh! Palmer might have gone too far though, the sequel kind of spoiled the joke!

[@markbaker2826]

Yessssssssssssssssssss !!

[@anniegoodrich262]

What a great idea to compare these two fun songs!❤️❤️

[@taniaPBear]

Robert Palmer was a legend, his sound was unique and I'm a huge fan, not into Shania but that song was iconic, and the video parody was fun. Having the models 'playing' the instruments, totally deadpan, was Robert's response to being told he HAD to have hot girls in his video or it wouldn't be popular. It was sarcasm, not sexism, on his part. Great reaction.✌❤

[@vallee3140]

am I getting it wrong but wasn't there a version of Addicted to love ,with almost naked girls?

[@taniaPBear]

@@vallee3140 Not to my knowledge, you might be thinking of 'Simply Irresistible', which had the same looking models, but there was a bit more skin and steamy dance moves, lol.😄

Both are so good. The handsome "gentleman", always dapper Robert Palmer ❤

[@todddepue681]

Both so good. I was a teenager when AtoL came out. We loved AND laughed about his girl "band"...really clever. Palmer himself so slick and Armani-clad. Then 12 years later to have Shania flip the script so brilliantly was iconic.

[@bethhighter8428]

“Simply Irresistible” (Robert Palmer)

[@kevinwalsh9788]

Same Girls 😊

[@flor9389]

Shania’s is a good tune and definitely an anthem. Her parody video pays tribute to how iconic his video was. I’m not much of a country pop fan, and will listen to Robert Palmer all day long. He’s so gentlemanly and refined yet you know he knows all the underground places.

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Thanks David for the songs, so so cool! Both of these songs were HUGE! Sal, Robert Palmer (RIP) has one of the best voices ever. This song was delivered with restraint. He's most known for blue-eyed soul. Check out Every Kinda People, You Are In My System, Bad Case of Loving You, Simply Irresistible, Mercy Mercy Me/I Want You (yes a cover of Marvin Gaye). He's got more but that can get you started. The man is amazing!

[@wordygirlandco]

❤Robert Palmer was so cool. Love him and his soulful voice and elegant style. Power Station is another side of RP. I love his warly stuff too.

[@Mntguy-nr9vl]

Both songs were huge at the time but I have to say Shania's was a movement. It transcended music and became an anthem for women and they played the s*** out of it on radio.

[@goldieschooch8512]

I really, really like this idea of comparing videos and/or songs. This might be a cool thing to do from time to time whether it be covers of songs or videos that are spoofs and or tributes to other videos. I really like this!

Addicted to love vs addicted to spuds...

[@mustangdebbie56]

No official video for Addicted to Spuds. But there are live versions.​@yewtoobnewb

[@tamifaulkner4103]

Shania was really sucessful at crossing genres but she was really considered a country artist so you should check out her stats on the country music charts. Lived both videos but Shania was my fave!

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 Robert Palmer (RIP) "Every Kinda People" ❤

[@judyyurchuk4904]

I saw robert in toronto 1993...so good...he is sorely missed ❤

[@annewoodard6803]

The original is iconic. I saw Robert Palmer in concert in the late 70’s/early 80’s. Always a fan

[@mayabairey]

This is a brilliant idea! Comparing songs opens up fascinating discussions and highlights unique qualities in each track.

[@niged]

Such an iconic video by Robert Palmer in the 80's. Great track

[@danarussell1291]

The only way you can compare these videos is the setup!! Two totally different songs, different genres!! I happen to ❤ both!! Shania's song is a ladies' anthem for sure!!!

[@monicataylor9977]

But, why did she have to do a slow striptease as the song played on? I'm sure many men enjoyed her song bc of it...

[@Aryaba]

Well, both are fantastic songs!

[@myratatano9530]

Loved Robert Palmer from the moment I heard his early New Orleans triple tracks, Put on My Sailing Shoes - Hey Hey Julia - Sneaking Sally Through the Alley! Each song flows into the next wonderfully ❤️

[@jodyjackson5475]

Remember my friend and I decided to dress up as Palmer girls halloween 87 soooo much attention and so so fun 😊

[@cottontopprintshop452]

That was fun! Gotta watch it all again! Shania has some REALLY Sultry songs. She is truly a beautiful woman! Worth a few watches of her!

[@MountainMan.]

Robert Palmer was the best dressed rocker. What a great song.

[@marie-solgaudreau3292]

Such memories listening to Robert Palmer! I haven't heard this song in forever

[@joelscottarnold3262]

The “Robert Palmer Girl” became a staple in the 80’s.

[@sfcub-Bill]

Check out the band "Power Station" Robert Palmer teams with 2 of the Taylor boys from Duran Duran and Tony Thompson Drummer of Chic "Get it On" (Bang a Gong) or "Some Like it Hot" I think you will enjoy it!

[@leegriffin2582]

haha- thx salvo g ! ur the best - u crack me up ! - love ya - great comparison ! ms S tribute to robert palmer- too much fun ! i remember that video on MTV- ground breaking back in the day ! lol - love sharing your music journey ! keep on being you and enjoy all the music !

[@justinwilton4603]

Originally intended to be a duet with Chaka Khan, the song was made without her because her record company at the time would not grant her a release to work on Palmer's label

[@Jude_196]

BOTH GREAT PERFORMANCES and VIDEOS!! I'm just glad to FINALLY see someone react to BOTH in the SAME REACTION VIDEO!! :) THANKS for the REACTIONS - LOVE your CHANNEL!!

Shania is awesome.. she has better songs which show her talent more but this is a smash.. both epic and classic songs

[@Kayjee17]

Love them both! Each song and video are great on their own and for their own reasons.

Ive been been waiting for these also. Really fun songs. Thanks New sub.

Shania has awesome fashions in her videos. Check out Shania's "That Don't Impress Me Much. " I think you will really like it.

[@polyprinz]

Shania Twain had it all, beauty, talent, and voice. The most beautiful in my opinion, when it comes to female artists!

[@julcarre383]

Great idea to listen/compare both these songs in one video. I've been listening to Shania for a very long time, so I gotta say I like her song more, but Robert's song is just as good. Nice reaction overall, definitely recommend doing more Shania

[@tomcollens4621]

Palmer! Attitude! Song! Yeah!

[@lovesmusic0845]

Love them both. My favorite Palmer song is Simply Irresistible. I probably watched that video a hundred times on MTV. Shania came out of the gate running and blew country music away before she crossed over. I loved country music so much in the 80s/90s. That’s my favorite era for country. I had to laugh when you said it was easy to dance to. Back in the day of the Dick Clark Bandstand TV show, the number one answer as to why someone loved a song was, “it has a good beat and it’s easy to dance to.” It became a running joke after a while.

[@carolinasbeauty]

@lovesmusic0845 I caught that and the same thing occurred to me! I instantly thought of Dick Clark and AB. Thanks for being the one to mention it!

[@IsabelleRSG]

Two very different songs but both great hits. Obviously the video parody she dared going for was a very clever move and I think it made her song even bigger because it was all over MTV!!! They both have great voices, in their respective genres, it's cool you reacted to both and compared these performances.

[@jodij6280]

She copied him. That's not clever.

[@lynnhaller1521]

I mean I love Robert Palmers Addicted To Love but come on, Shania killed it in every way!! Energy, looks, sassiness! New theme song for Vegas SalvoSquad!!

[@reginabelt6923]

[@jodij6280]

Sorry. Can't stand country music.

[@drumdust]

Want to feel old? All those women are now Grandmothers lol. Great song / video.

[@robertespley248]

You also need to watch Robert Palmer's video for " Change his ways" where he parodies himself in the video.

[@kensilverstone1656]

One of the great videos in rock history--behind onlyPalmer's "Simply Irrisistible." Shania Twain is my favorite country singer and made the best country videos. "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" is wonderfully delivered. Shania is beautiful and sexy and has a great sense of humor.

[@bonnielemenager4030]

Better Robert Palmer song to really see what he was made of would be "Bad Case of Lovin' You" on his own or "Some Like It Hot" from a group he formed with former members of Duran-Duran when they briefly broke up (the group was called Power Station). I always thought he was a consummate gentleman with his white shirt and black tie; always thought his delivery said he had a tiger in his tank! RIP.

[@sarablack2547]

She still looks great. Last weekend she performed in the UK at Glastonbury music festival (it's on for 3 days)

[@kendasteeves9793]

[@ritchmoore1442]

Finally these are reacted to in one reaction. ❤

[@leestockton9367]

I love "Addicted to Love" (which was originally called "Addicted to Drugs" but was changed to make it playable); I nearly wet myself laughing at Shania's brilliant parody video (even had the licking of the lips) with the equally brilliant "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" when first released

[@carolinasbeauty]

A wonderful video/reaction, Salvo. I loved both songs, so I knew what Shania was up to with her video. Something you might consider is reacting to Toby Keith's "How do you Like me Now" and Cletus Judd's "How do you Milk a Cow?" Toby shows up in the video. Cletus was the parody king! He also famously/hilariously did "Every Light in the House is Blown" in parody of Trace Atkins "Every Light in the House is On." Trace is in Judd's video also!

[@KrazyKatLadyx2]

Shania showed us that being a woman is much more fun than Palmer's version 😉

[@lesanswau]

You need to dive in to some of Robert Palmer’s (RIP) other songs - 14 studio albums, three live albums. Maybe start with “Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)”; “Looking for Clues” - there’s so many great tracks. There’s also his work with The Power Station (with members of Duran Duran). Keep up the good work. Lesa in 🇦🇺

[@letmadora28]

Addicted to love was the Second one of a trilogy 😅 You should react to the other two: I Didn't Mean to Turn You On and Simple Irresistible.

[@eggy1962]

My favourite palmer song is…..Every Kind of People……tho he had several more hits

[@pttp5509]

Robert Palmer was a unique talent - check him out singing Some Like It Hot for The Power Station Shania was spoofing Palmer

[@sonjadrussell]

Both fun, hinting at risqué, driving beats. Made for some really interesting moves out on the dance floor, especially depending on how bold (or intoxicated) you were! Great songs and reaction! Ahhhhh, the memories.....

[@vickiwhite4004]

That was fun :)

[@waybackj]

Both great songs. Both legends. Every woman you showed today was stunning.

[@bonnielee78]

Sal, now you have to check out Robert Palmer's 'Simply Irresistible'; which also was an influence on 'Man I feel like a woman'.

[@troysimpkins4528]

One reason that Shania's song are so catchy and have such a great, high energy beat is that her husband, Mutt Lange, produced her albums. He's the same guy who produced all of Def Leppard's HUGE 1980s albums, ACDC's Back in Black, the Car's Heartbeat City album, Foreigner's huge 1981 album, 4, and on and on. These are both phenomenal songs! Loved the comparison video, Salvo!

[@bethanythatsme]

So random, but I hope the makeup artist on Robert's video set was well compensated. What a gorgeous & iconic look.

[@jdavis9684]

I was an art director back in the 80's. Every model's portfolio had the same look. The look was really based on the work of illustrator Patrick Nagel.

Thanks for the early birthday present. Thought you might like Shania's look in the video compared to Robert's. Robert did have a great voice and he did a great version of "I Got Rhythm" for the album The Glory of Gershwin. Both songs are catchy and memorable. Many of Shania's video are great even the early videos. She caused some controversy with her clothing choices but she owned each one of them.

I have super fond memories of Addicted to Love at a certain time in my life, when it played endlessly on the jukebox of the bar where I hung out. Ok. Where I, me, myself, played it endlessly on the jukebox. 😂 We even had a table dance that went with it, because there was no room to actually dance there. I'll bet I could pull 6-10 people on my social media and say, "1985 at Ron's! Who remembers the table dance to Addicted to Love?!" and we could all do at least part of it. So the memories give it an unfair advantage for me! And I didn't care for Shania Twain when she came out because I thought she was too poppy, but you can't be a woman and ignore a damn woman's anthem! So while I appreciated it, still know every word and will still dance to it when it comes on ... Robert Palmer does it for me. Another similar pop-rock, super-catchy song from him is, "Simply Irresistible." Good stuff!

[@frankhuhn7369]

Be sure to check out Palmer's other great vid, "Simply Irresistible."

[@gesundheit602]

Another Shania Twain hit that was co-written and produced by her ex husband, legendary producer Mutt Lange. He is definitely one of the best, if not *the* best music producers ever. The list of multi-platinum albums and hits he has produced is absolutely insane.

[@Reba-123]

Love both of them

[@lorigirard7239]

Yassss a man who gets it !!!!!

[@trexbbs6365]

“Addicted To Love” was sort of a continuation of his work with Power Station, which you should react to (“Some Like It Hot” & “Get It On (Bang A Gong) - a cover of the T. Rex song), but Robert has had many styles of music, ie. 1970s pop/rock (“Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)”) and 1980s new wave/pop (“Looking For Clues”), which you should also react to.

[@davidgiles5912]

Looking at the Top 100 you should have looked at country charts it was even more successful on the Hot Country Songs chart, reaching the top five and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for 1,000,000 digital downloads. The song also won a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance in 2000. It is one of the most requested karaoke songs which won Shania the title of Queen of Karaoke.

[@AmyW-qo4se]

Both were well know & catchy. Palmer in this song was going for something different & for him it worked. Next to do is Simply Irresistible from Palmer. It was used in a soda commercial. Shaina's was fun. She made all her videos fun!

Addicted to Love. One of the best.

Just as I came across this reaction, this exact Shania Twain song was in a commercial on my TV, lol. Plus, I live in Calgary, Alberta where Shania is huge (she’s from Timmies, Ontario) and we’re in the middle of the world famous Calgary Stampede! I’d suggest (even though she has several must sees) Your Still the One I Want live from Las Vegas 2014. You’ll be blown away! Cheers from Canada!

Shania for the win! The song is playful, the video is smoking hot and has more pop appeal than Palmer's. I'm 100% gay, but Shania always makes me feel some kinda way. And you haven't lived till you've seen a bar full of men singing confidently "Man! I feel like a woman!" 😂❤

[@davidgiles5912]

I have wanted some of drag queen friends to do Shania for a performance I think the song just screams for it. Start out glammed out to the max and as the song id done the performer undoes her outfit pulling out the tits, stripping off the wig and jewelry ending up in just the foundation garments.

Shania's wearing a tie at the beginning of her video. One of the women in Robert's video opens her mouth like she is about to lick her lips at 2:29. Mutt Lange, Shania's producer and husband at the time, was working on a guitar riff and when he finished Shania reportedly said "Man, I feel like a woman" and the song was born.
