THEY NAILED IT!!! - Ren, Sam Tompkins "Earned it/Mans World/Falling" (REACTION!)

[@twistedpixel756]

Ren found Sam on the street, literally. Sam tells the story w/ video from that first day is on his channel, the video is titled something like reacting to old videos of myself, iirc that part is somewhere around 10 min in. the gist of it, if you want the spoilers, is Ren saw a very young Sam just out there singing, no mic, or instrument, so Ren kinda took him under his wing, told him if he wanted to get peoples attention he needs an amp and mic, Ren brought him his own, and sat down and played for him while Sam sang. and now.. Sam just got signed, and opened for Justin Beiber. You really need to check out Alicia Keys' "Falling" though, super good soul music, seriously, like Otis Redding level.

One song for sure you need to do is Blind Eyed It's an original song Sam did with Ren. The official video on Ren's channel, I recommend Blind Eyed Ren and Sam MC Sessions version from the Music Crowns channel -- it is the best live version, and a humorous Blind Eyed-Angry Carpark attendant. Also Ren v Sam, What Went Wrong part 1, 2 they did a few years ago. Welcome to Sam Tompkins. Enjoying your reactions.

i second the MC Sessions version.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

I love hearing Sam sing so high, and we're all amazed, and Ren is like hold my beer, and sings even higher 😂❤

[@TARTANTAFF]

Great Reaction ! definitely need to check out Sam if you do Sam's Time Will Fly you'll see a clip of the day Sam and Ren met and first played together

[@pointlesslab4179]

Really recommend Blind Eyed Live MC Session if you want to see another great duet with these two!

[@jasonremy1627]

Sam has written and performed several songs with Ren over the years, and his solo music is great too. Check out "Time Will Fly" and "Lose It All"

[@salishseamermaid]

Sam is well worth checking out! Lose It All is my favorite of his solo songs. But also check out Ren and Sam's song Blind Eyed! Either the MC Sessions or Angry Car Park Attendant version...😊

sam's music video for "someone else" is also fire

[@rebeccaburnell9319]

Yeah man, Ren's guitar on Falling launches this one into the stratosphere for me. Like, BOTH these guys gave incredible vocal performances (Sam's occasional pitchiness grates on my nerves a little but YOU CANNOT GET GOOD AT LIVE PERFORMANCES unless you "play" around a bunch and "go for it" to push yourself, and I'm perfectly happy to give that to Sam. He's got one helluva special voice, and when you check out other stuff by him his expressiveness will leave you with your jaw in the floor)... but it's Ren's guitar choices here that just DO IT for me. Sam - yeah, he's more on the pop side of things, which isn't my cup of tea... but his voice is incredible enough that I'll stop to listen & appreciate, and he has a few songs that have won me over! Others have already mentioned Lose It All, and Time Will Fly, and those are two I enjoy a lot, but check out (W)hole, too. Meanwhile... there are other Ren & Sam busking vids super worth checking out! I personally love No Diggity/Walking on the Moon, but Ren's guitar is out of tune on that one and some people have said that bothers them too much. Vocal pitchiness gets on my nerves, but I'm immune to out-of-tune guitars ;) Others have already mentioned Blind-Eyed - it's the first creative thing Ren did after he finished the first treatment that measurably improved his health and gave him some ability to have a life outside of his bedroom again (2018, might have been late 2017?) It's SUPER worth your while. They did a full studio production thing with a beat, and made a video for it... but I personally think it's best to check out one of the live versions first, just Ren & Sam & Ren's guitar (there are for sure others who disagree). MC Sessions is my fave version, but others will say do Angry Car Park Attendant first (Ren turned him into a figurine on his merch store). The version where they're busking on the street has super shitty audio. Worth watching for us fans, for sure, but not the best version to react to. Anyway. Yeah. Ren + Chinchilla = amazing voices that work amazingly together Ren + Eden Nash = amazing voices that work amazingly together Ren + Molly McKenna = amazing voices that work amazingly together Ren + Gorran + Romain = amazing voices that work amazingly together (I can't remember, have you done "These Boots/Satisfaction/Everybody", and "Swan Song" yet?) and Ren + Sam = amazing voices that work amazingly together.

[@jasonklenetsky5687]

Blind Eyed. Pick a version. They’re all good and worthy of reacting to.

[@carlovercelli7960]

Great video! You should check out a song Ren and Sam wrote and performed together; Blind Eyed (Live at Music Crowns)
