Worst Reaction Ever to Chicago - Inspiration

[@Lovejazz01]

I absolutely love this song, and I understand why some people don’t, they don’t like love songs , I guess that’s the reason love songs like this are not made anymore. But back then , hard rockers, funkaters and even rappers made love songs, it was the way of the 70’s and 80’s. I often say , it’s too late to say you don’t like a song that was once a big hit, it’s still considered a classic!

[@erinhansen2110]

I admire T's honesty as it's refreshing when many channels "fake like" songs. WIth that said, Tasha is correct on this one.

[@jamesgomez753]

Exactly, lol

[@brianspradlin8999]

It was a huge record and the first cut off Chicago 17. It’s a squishy love long and not everybody loved it. Based on its chart success and the Chicago 17 sales most did though.

[@blitz3643]

He likes it... Just trying to be a "tough" guy 😂

[@mikedrake5373]

This is a great love song. She is right on the mark with this song. 😁

[@rushfan3]

Hey T and Tasha, love watching your reactions to music. Sorry T didn't like You're the inspiration, which even after Cetera left, is a staple of their live shows Having been a Chicago fan for years I've enjoyed the different phases that the band has gone thru. This song shows off Peter Cetera's soft rock ballad style. His style reminds me of Kevin Cronin from REO Speedwagon. Keep those reactions coming

[@joec1248]

You can laugh all you want but this was the song my spouse and I danced our first dance at our reception and we just had our 36th anniversary

[@primeminister66]

@@Lovejazz01 what in the heck does that have to do with him just not liking the song? It’s not a great Chicago song because members of the band Chicago are well off. That means he can’t like the song?

[@Lovejazz01]

@@primeminister66 he can not like it all he wants, that’s his opinion, but the song was a hit back in the day, so that means it doesn’t matter. Some people probably didn’t like it when it was released, but enough people loved it to make it a hit . Once something is successful then it doesn’t matter how many people don’t like it. What matters is enough people like it. That’s all we are saying.

[@Someonelser1]

25 or 624 this is not! Smarmy schlock ballad

[@chrisjamieson3452]

Many make suggestions for Chicago's most saccharine hits. Not the soulful best from the early years, featuring Terry Kath. Unfortunate. Songs should come from the 1st 8 albums. I believe you've done Make me Smile & Probably 25 or 6 to 4. I'm a Man? Other good songs include Dialogue Parts 1 & 2, Poem 58, South California Purples, What's this World Coming To. If you want good ballads, you may have done If You Leave Me Now which is OK. But I prefer I've been Searching So Long. It soars at the end. An Hour in the Shower & Since You've Gone Away also have some soul.

[@chopa2less]

I go into a diabetic coma every time I hear this song.

[@MarkMay-cr6bv]

It's a great song -- IF your idea of fun is almost drowning in a vat of honey and then saving yourself by drinking your way out. Sappy melody, cring-inducing and symplisitc lyrics, I liked a lot of old Chicago, but this song makes me vomit.

[@karensaldanha4760]

That's how I feel when hear this song. Don't get me wrong. I love Chicago, but this one is an overload of syrup.

[@chuckwhite3176]

Sorry T, but I love ❤this song!

[@jamesedmonds1350]

😎😎😎 I'm 68 ,I was there when these songs came out on the radio, and I have over a hundred record albums from when they were released. The world and music were different back then . When we hear these songs, we have memories to go with them ,all you have is a chair ,a little room with headphones. So actually, you only judge a song by what you hear with no connection. So ,this is probably why you get negative comments . You can hear the music, but you'll never get or experience the memories connected to them .

[@shantel7107]

Speechless! I'm just speechless!

[@wg7644]

If you lived through this era this song was played to death - like the song "you light up my life". I could go the rest of my life without hearing it but the times are tied to the music so there are good memories that come from it.

[@gorey4more837]

Cetera's voice is NOT my cup of tea, but I greatly respect the band's talent.

[@algallego]

That's okay, he's not concerned with that; he's got money in the bank enough from those who do and he isn't serving you your tea.

Lol

[@markanthony4086]

Love the reaction T and Tasha. I have to admit it's not one of my favorite Chicago songs but it's a nice soft rock ballad for sure. One I think you will both like is 'Call On Me' from 1974 with Peter Cetera on lead vocals...it's a great track.

[@algallego]

You guys should check out Peter Cetera and Chaka Khan's 'Feels Like Heaven.'

[@RealUncleWiggily]

Great song, if you're browsing through the Hallmark section.

[@debratroeak77]

I enjoy Chicago’s earlier music when Terry KATH WAS LEAD SINGER. This is was a big hit though during its time. ❤. Try Make me Smile by Chicago in their earlier days.

[@M_ondo]

Exactly Make me Smile, actually the only song I dug by them.

[@algallego]

Hey, he liked "I Don't Wanna LIve Without Your Love?" as cheesy as that video was-- the song is pretty decent though, just like this one-- it was indeed a big song when it premiered. I would love for them to react to the 'Stay The Night' official music video. That was a fun track and song. This song isn't a whole lot different than Cetera's 'Glory of Love'-- AND, he liked that one-- probably because he spent the whole time trying to figure out what Karate Kid movie it was from rather than focusing on the lyrics-- just as gushy as love song and chivalrous. If he likes to point out cheesy, maybe he can check out 'Along Comes A Woman.' Personally, I think Remember the Feeling is a better song, although it didn't play on radio, nor was it a hit on mainstream radio.

[@bradjbourgeois73]

I agree with Tee, lol. I always thought this song was cheesy. And not because it's a slow ballad, they have many more great slow ballads. This is just too repetitive and unimaginative for my tastes.

[@fotosbyduane]

That was David Foster featuring Chicago.

[@jaemyrick5277]

Gal and Guy. How are you today? Chicago had a different music producer in the seventies, I do not know who that was. By the eighties Chicago hired music producer David Foster. Grammy winning producer. The fans had lukewarm reactions to Chicago’s new 80’s sound. More guitar solos less sax and trumpet solos. A whole transformation out of the 70’s sound. Listen to Glory of Love. Peter Cetera sings vocals Foster is producer.

When you're born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s, this was THE song you thought of when it came to your first crush or steady partner -- even if it was elementary school puppy love. Only REO Speedwagon's "I Can't Fight This Feeling" comes close ... 😳 ... Oh, there ya go, Tasha! 😏 If he doesn't like that THAT monster of a hit love song, he REALLY has no soul. Not even Ronnie Milsap can redeem him ... 😝🤣

[@johnthegreek5836]

[@lgwappo]

I loved Chicago's first 3 albums. Yeah we used to call those things albums. "Saturday in the Park" (1972) wasn't my thing & the soft songs that followed.

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

Gotta go with Tasha on this one. Not liking this song is akin to holding a cute puppy and feeling nothing.

[@DavidSingerSongwtr]

Written by Peter and David Foster.

[@JimmiBiscuit]

So many touchy people in the comments. Nobody cares how much the band makes, how it was 'your' song for whatever reason or grouping all love songs as one therefore not liking this must mean all romantic songs are not liked (don't fully get that silly limited thinking itself). People seem to be unable to accept another person's personal taste. This song is a huge block of cheese. (remember, all you upset at the world not having your exact taste types, it's just one man's taste. Don't need to cry about how your dog was born to this song or whatever, that's irrelevant)

[@M_ondo]

I agree with yr husband. I appreciate his honesty unlike many other channels. This song is too cheesy for me. I'm very aware of this group listening to music over 60 yrs. The only song I dug by them was Make me Smile Why not react to a great late 60s band The Rascals?

Not a upper tear Chicago song to be honest with you. It’s super pop, just because it has I guess romantic lyrics that doesn’t make it a good song they have some songs. This is not one of them.

[@thatcomicdad1687]

Well, he can't like everything. After all the good videos I think we can overlook a negative review for this song

[@algallego]

Hey, he likes Jason Scheff singing "Now" with Chicago-- that's post Cetera. Personally, I think Scheff balanced out the old with the new quite well, compared with Cetera. He also likes 'Silent Lucidity' from Queensryche, which is considered a metal ballad lullaby since it was written for one of the band member's kids who was having nightmares, a little better on the pensive side when it comes to song musical composition, production and concept.
