THIS GOT SPICY!!! | Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (OFFICIAL VIDEO) | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@AileenSenpai]

KZbin blocked my video so many times so I had to add an overlay! Rest assured I saw the entire thing without any filters/overlays and BOY WERE YOU ALL RIGHT! What an incredible video!

[@UTubeHandlesSuck]

On a tangent, with regard to "all this buildup" I suspect you'd be highly amused by Go-Go's guitarist Jane Wiedlin's _World On Fire._

[@MooreCEJr]

Can picture you in this type of video as well. 🤩Great reaction Aileen.. looking forward to many more...

[@andrea_thehunter]

Don’t worry Aileen, thank you too you for everything for these emoctions ❤

[@edwardstonick4898]

She was pissed off during filming, she was a diva. I’m falling in love with you Aileen, I think we are kindred spirits. ❤

[@KevanCorkill]

A OK Aileen 😊 More important that you see this and enjoy😊👍 Have a great day you and Arya with much love 😊👍💪❤️

[@ThatColeGuy]

Helena Christensen was one of the most popular models in the world at the time. Props to Chris for snagging her for the vid. Another great reaction.

[@TalkieToaster.]

This video is actually considered by many to be her breakthrough role, she was early 20's at the time.

[@reginacarter431]

She is also Norman Reedus' ex & mother of his 24 year old son, Mingus. what a striking couple they were back then!

[@-M0LE]

She was a *supermodel*

I don't know if I used to know, but I've been thinking this was Linda Evangelista.

[@Calamity_Jack]

Chris Isaak described the song as being about, "what happens when you have a strong attraction to people who aren't good for you." He had only complimentary things to say about his co-star in the video, supermodel Helena Christensen. He said in addition to obviously being gorgeous, she was a great actress, didn't act like a primadonna, and was a real trooper dealing with some difficult filming conditions.

[@VadulTharys]

LOL and Chris Isaaks insanely jealous wife on set.

She is honestly one of the most prettiest girls I’ve ever seen her eyes so like looking into her soul

[@Sp33gan]

Chris' voice is even more amazing when you see him live. No autotune or fakery of any sort, he is just that talented. Best of all, he knows who pays his bills and makes sure to give time to his audience. He'll even put down his guitar and walk through the crowd, shaking hands and giving hugs, while still singing. If you ever get the chance to see him in concert, dear Aileen, don't hesitate to go.

[@white_tyrone651]

Yes im so glad that you watched this

[@michaelbriefs9764]

The video works as fantasy, as a backdrop to the gorgeous, aching desire suggested by the song. There's just enough visual "spice" to help the viewer get lost in the mood and story being sung about. Perfect match, music and visual, for us crazy romantics out here! :)

[@LelandTuttle5756]

The hesitant longing, literally coming from the guitar strings... So surreal.

[@peteleal5365]

Recorded on the Hawaiian Islands and it was actually steam coming from lava hitting the ocean. It is the Art of Romance Aileen

[@Cadinho93]

Fans said that Chris Isaak was the result of Roy Orbison and Elvis having a child...his voice! Just one of the best! Also, that stunning model is Helena Christensen. Still gorgeous today in her 50s.

[@dicktrickle741]

I love Roy Orbison, good call.

[@Galantus1964]

Danish super model Helena Christensen .. She was one of the first " victoria angles" together with Tyra Banks before VS really blew up

[@SaintPhoenixx]

This video is probably less explicit than most modern rap videos. There's no outright nudiuty, just the suggestion of it. It's tastefully done which makes it sexy without being gratuitous.

[@burnout_2017]

This played between van halens Hot For Teacher video and warrants Cherry Pie in the middle of the day on mtv. Nobody whined about sexualization except the bible thumpers, who are mostly closeted freaks anyway.

[@aronp7097]

She's totally ignoring him the whole time....in the meantime she's HIS whole world. Brilliant! In reference to the song lyrics

[@Daehawk]

The girl in the video is Helena Christensen...she always had the most amazing eyes . I remember her from the 90s as a Victorias Secret model.

[@pistonburner6448]

You did a lot of 'research' back then, huh?

[@matthewgoodA1206]

That chorus is one of the most well-known uses of falsetto. What a haunting and dreamlike song.

[@shakawhenthewallsfell8570]

One of the top sensual songs out there. And what a voice.

[@heybuddywuzup]

20,000 comments already say that

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

"What could possibly go wrong?" is up there with "Hey guys, watch this!" as famous last words. LoL

[@jimilemons7680]

The meaning is that he lost someone he never thought he would have in the first place. It's not about being afraid to commit or fall in love. The 'Wicked Game' she played was to make him fall in love and then leave him.

[@kennethjenkins3972]

So happy you did this and that you didn’t wait a long time to do it. It’s a beautiful wonderful song and the video is romantic and beautiful also.

[@lesliedaubert1411]

The background vocals " All this world is gonna break your heart ". She's torturing him.

[@albertspillane2831]

Absolutely it's a tremendous tease ❤😊

[@katnerd-Glen]

Back when this song was new and for many years after many a dude owed Chris Isaak for a lot of warm nights. Some songs are mood setters, this one's always been near the top of the list. Oh, and Isaak knew exactly how sexy the song sounded.

[@bryandamkaer3646]

His voice is ... captivating. Great love song

[@alexthorpe6583]

Yeah, you can see why this was popular on MTV, back in the day. Helena was one of the supermodels of the time.

[@jakes3059]

Falling in love is amazing...falling out of love or being betrayed by love is a unique and lasting pain.

[@davidhutchinson5233]

When this song was popular, I can remember in the early 90s dancing with this beautiful woman in a smoky bar.....you talk about the right ambiance and atmosphere......Good memory. Thank you for your reaction.

[@Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot]

Great review of this video and song Aileen! I love your reviews and I was waiting somewhat patiently for this one hahaha! I think you might want tobwatchbit again though and watch her eyes. Without saying too much, pay attention to her engaging looks at the beginning of the video as compared to the end, it might cause some more thoughts on this song\video. It's all in the eyes and this was a very well directed piece.

[@kevincaulder96]

Hey, Aileen. This music video was shot by fashion photographer Herb Ritts. He used black and white as his palette to capture a certain erotica during the 198o's and 9o's with some of the most beautiful models during that time. Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour, Tatjana Patitz, Christy Turlington, Madonna, as well as celebrities, and portraits as well. Since you like this video you'll be happy to know that Ritts also directed another popular song video for Chris Isaak. BABY DID A BAD, BAD, THING. Let your mind wrap around the title of that song snd see what you get. I'll bet your are curious to know. Anyway, can't wait to see it. Keep going and enjoy the music.

[@Urbanindia745]

This is one of my favourite songs but I had never watched the video before. Thank you!! 😮

[@valdas420]

I Love this song . You should check "baby did a bad bad thing "from Him .

[@erickent3557]

I like her well-timed glances away, and kind of deadpan face: highlights that her character feels like she doesn't reciprocate his emotions.

I really dig your reactions and expressions. You have a sunshine smile over a playful darkness (that's the best way I know how to explain it lol) that is captivating. I like how you are also a musician so you get what's happening and open your mind to experience different thing. You should hear Black Sabath Parinoid if you haven't yet. The bassline is smokin. Thanks for doing these, they are very entertaining

[@workingman6681]

Glad you got to the music video. Everyone was in love with Helena😎👍

[@robertwalegir8677]

The look on your face you’re really enjoying this and your dreams are turning into memories!!!

I love this song and video! It was very sensual and artsy. And because Helena was in it. One of the Supermodels. One of my favorite back stage facts that always makes me laugh is that in the scene when she is straddling him and he is kissing her, all that she was thinking about was what she was going to eat for lunch. Love her. I actually used a faster cover of this song for the short I did for Helena on my 90s Supermodel, 70s and 80s Top Model Shorts series. 😊

[@danrue3263]

BTW the movie "Wild at Heart" 1990 by David Lynch (one of the best film makers ever) with Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern, Willem Dafoe, Crispin Glover, Diane Ladd, Isabella Rossellini and Harry Dean Stanton. This song is in it and Chris is playing it on stage in a scene. Its a Romantic crime drama. Steamy love and brutal violence. Great acting.

[@captainactiv]

Cory Taylor's cover of this with Stone Sour is awesome as well!

[@wraith1117]

This 'feel' of this song is best described in one word. And that is 'Sultry', and that is mostly a southern thing. . If that word ever comes up in any conversation, if they ask do you know what sultry means, just mention this song. And you'll be golden.

[@josephwhite4489]

One of the greatest videos of all time!! Man, I think Chris Isaak might be one of my all time heroes...A good looking, talented man, with an amazing voice who does super fun stuff like surf and make music videos with super models such as Helen Christensen...AND, he's a notoriously nice guy to boot....to quote Rod Stewart, 'Some Guys Get All The Luck'...sigh...I encourage everyone to check out his Tv sitcom, The Chris Isaak Show [2001-2004]...if you're a Chris fan like I am, than this is a can't miss!!! Man, do I miss seeing Bobby Jo Moore on my Tv every week...be still my beating heart!!!

[@carleakins2153]

The song was used in David Lynch's movie Wild at Heart, which boosted it's popularity. After a second video was made using footage from the film, it won an award on the MTV video awards.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you Strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you The last line of the chorus says it all...makes the entire song make sense.

[@AbigailJrney-1]

I love that guitar tone!❤❤ I shocked that nobody has mentioned that! Oh, yeah Chris's voice is tops! Also the lp version is actually longer. I hate those video edits from those "officially video" releases.

[@francisedwards4069]

I believe MTV showed this video after 10 pm. The video to watch is "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing".

[@TalkieToaster.]

There were all sorts of rumours about their relationship because of their on screen chemistry in this video, for decades. It's gotta be up there with the best song and music video combos ever.

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

fantastic song. this iconic line at the end: "nobody loves noone". beautiful tasteful video and supermodel helena christiansen ( from the linda evangelista, christy turlington, naomi campbell league)

Another fantastic Chris Isaacs song is "Baby did a bad, bad thing" its got a different style to wicked game that I think you'll appreciate.

[@amyaeschbach3581]

Great reaction! I was here for the first one and I think you can see, and you expressed the tenderness and intimacy of this video goes perfectly along with the feel of the music and his voice and the beachy vibe of the guitar. So perfect together. So glad you checked it out.

[@roger5322]

love is a fire that consumes you. Hollows you from the outside in. Takes from you all that you are and leaves only memories.

[@antidote7]

The entire song you hear the background vocals say shes only gonna break your heart. Last verse he says he lises her. Had his soul ripped out basically, ending with him thinking nobody loves no one.

[@gabrock5755]

Hi from 🇧🇷 react + musics Chris Isaak i like❤!

[@doorofnight87]

Really enjoyed your reaction and your engagement with everyone. Totally agree on your thoughts about sexuality, repressing that or denying that causes so many problems, whereas sexuality is natural, and I agree the video is very tasteful and beautifully shot.

[@markdecker6190]

I agree with your observations 1000% !!

[@heybuddywuzup]

Can only go to 100

[@WayneGreen-b4y]

Chris has a flawless change between chest and head voice.

[@BlueDragon53]

is a perfect song and the video to reinforce the theme of the song makes it even better. Loved your response to this.

[@yourwinefamily1939]

Chris Isaak also had small parts in the movies: "Silence of the Lambs" and "That Thing You Do".

[@tommc4916]

The video was shot at Kamoamoa Black Beach in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The steam is from nearby lava flows entering the ocean, and the beach itself was covered over by fresh lava flows a few months later. I visited the beach in the short time it existed.

[@Cherokeelion]

Oh this video hit like an atomic bomb on Mtv back in the day… even if you missed the reality of unreciprocated love/passion, you couldnt deny Chris Isaak and Helena Christensen put together such a smoky performance. Whew.

[@jrag9435]

I like how the first half of the video she’s constantly focusing her gaze on him (and us)…then after the video goes sepia tone and after it returns to black and white she never makes eye contact with him again. She even rolls her eyes at one point😂. It’s like she’s getting bored and her eyes are already looking elsewhere. The background vocals are warning him the whole time…”this world is only going to break your heart “. …and the end, “nobody loves no one” a double negative meaning … everybody loves someone.

[@dcanup71]

89' was such a great year. I graduated and this jem dropped 🔥🤘😎

"I love how soft and tender they look" - yet she never looks at him in any sort of endearing fashion. :)

[@Ericandroy]

Another great black and white video from the same era - Black - Wonderful Life. I highly recommend!

[@alexdahlin8562]

Not just the official video, but its the studio song. The song made exactly the way the artist wanted it to sound. I think a good idea is to start with studio songs and then go to the live versions because people often have their first/deepest connection to the studio songs, and you know they will have good quality, bass and clarity compared to many live versions. I know i sometimes sit and think "do the studio version!" because of the much higher quality but also because they often have different notes played/sang. Anyway Wicked Game is wicked. :)

[@rosevfx]

You might want to review the video again. during the last verse (the reprisal) she is bored, looking at her nails, ignoring him despite being so close. This song is about someone teasing and humiliating someone else. That's where the heart break will come from. She never felt that way ...

[@nammis77]

Its a really sad song. Beautiful though.

[@-M0LE]

I think we’ve all been there

[@RoboSteave]

You get it! So many people don't. She's just playing with him and has no real feelings for him whatsoever.

[@powerpointpaladin6911]

she got his undivided attention, game over for her!

[@LazyCrazyGuy]

My uncle used to drink and cry to this song. He was in love with a woman who basically stringed him along and played him all while her heart belonged to another. He had a boy with her and loved him to death. He was everything to him and at age 6 or 7 she finally told him the truth. He wasn't his child and the father of the child was really the other guy. My uncle was devastated and he never married or settled with a woman. He was completely heartbroken and shattered. He just passed away 3 years ago from cancer. This song always reminds me of him even if it was a negative memory for him. It was a positive one for me because it reminds me of all the good he was to me.

[@halhortonsworld5870]

I started playing bass in the early 80s. That was a pretty standard way of filling the background and maintaining the tempo back then. I still play bass at church, and I still play that riff when the songs are soft like this and need a good steady driving tempo. It makes me smile when someone young like you actually notices and understands some 'old-school' bass.

[@ricardorgomez]

I attended a concert of his in San Francisco right after this video. It was such a great concert. He was funny too! By the end of the concert, so many people in the audience just ended up hooking up with each other. It was crazy. Amazing song. It took him years to finish it. He would write a part of it. Get back to it later. Write another part. Get back to it later. There was something about the song he had difficulty with. Fantastic artist and man.

[@Nanashi_MYOB]

I'd highly recommend the Stone Sour cover of this song. As well as Chris Isaak - "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing" both are magic.

[@jimmywilmore1881]

And this played on a regular basis on MTV. If you really want to hear something beautiful check out Chris Isaak I’ll never fall in love again his Elvis cover

Danish/Peruvian Super Model. She was dating Michael Hutchence of INXS and was riding with him when he got punch by a taxi driver in France. He hit his head on the ground and was never the same and eventually led him to his death.
