Ella Hooper’s voice has definitely developed a lot since then. She was very young here, maybe 16-17 years old.
Actually 14
Definitely, this was like 99/2000, but she does have a take it or leave it kinda sound, I liked em.
She was born in 83 and this song was released in 99 so I don't know where you get 14 from?
@@mel3948 No, she was 14 when they won the JJJ contest, but with a diff song (can't remember the title). She was 16 here.
she was 15
Lead singer Ella Hooper was very young here - still a teenager, I think. Her voice has strengthened and matured since then.
Haha... should have read comments, wrote the same comment almost verbatim. 😆
@@firecrakka Great minds, and all that!
She was only 16 there
I respect all the opinions here… but having heard Ella on The Panel as a teen and then hearing her sing this in more recent times, I’d had the thought that Ella’s voice was more ‘flexible’ and her approach more fearless as that 16 year old on The Panel in 1999. Crappy that the video of that performance on youtube is of terrible quality - for me it’s the definitive version of ‘Weir’…
She's also 15 or 16yrs old there too. I loved her voice here especially her vocal breaks and runs, her voice has a lot of texture to it now that she's older. She's also had nodules.
I can kind of understand where you're coming from with regards to Ella's voice.
It was their next single 'Mascara' where I started listening to Killing Heidi.
Personal fav has always been 'I Am' which ended up being the main song from Spiderman 2 in 2004.
I'm sure it'll grow on you.
Killing Heidi were discovered by Triple J Unearthed competition. Ella was only 14 when they won and got their first single recorded - Kettle
Love Killing Heidi. Its a matter of taste, I suppose. They have other songs with their similar 'sound' that is unique to them that perhaps you won't appreciate as much either, but I love them all!
Killing Heidi performed an acoustic version of this on The Panel in 1999, an excellent live version of this song. And Jesse and Ella put out some excellent music as The Verses, too.
Agree. The Panel version is better in my opinion than the recorded one. Loved The Verses music too.
Loved The Panel CD’s
@@BlooBagger I owned all of them as CDs but have only been able to find one on iTunes.
That acoustic version on the Panel was one of the best things I’ve heard- I was gobsmacked at the time!
There is a video of it on youtube, but the visual and sound quality is badly degraded - a real shame that more effort was not put into preserving the many wonderful performances on the Panel….
@@darrendelacy8162 Agree. The Panel version is great and better in my opinion than the recorded one which was over produced. Drowned out Ella's vocals in the rock part. That was the sound at the time.
I loved Killing Heidi when I was in highschool during the mid to late 90's. They're not everyone's taste, mostly grungy type of music. It brings back memories when I hear them. Especially when I hear this song.
Yeah she couldn't sing in any of the pubs or clubs cause she was only 15 or 16 when this song came out... And her big brother was one of the band members too. So he was always super protective of her being exposed to inappropriate situations & I remember him being staunch in a few interviews. They where such a good band. I saw them live once & they killed it 🤙🙌❤️
Ella Hooper was a teenager here. Her voice has matured and is richer now. There is a great duet Ella does with Dan Sultan on Rockwiz. Will send a request once they are open again.
Her Divinyls cover on rockwiz was spot on as well✌
@@simonbremner2707 Agree 👍
th-cam.com/video/APYto6Mlod0/w-d-xo.html
@@meni8015 Concur on both!
@@simonbremner2707 I am thinking will request the Divinyls cover instead. It showcases what Ella can do vocally.
We're here for your honest reactions, we can suggest but you get to choose. Check your sub numbers your obviously doing it right. If we agree or disagree is immaterial we want to know what you think.
Australian's are very multi-cultural lovers of a mix of diversity range of Music/Vocals/styles/ethnicity/etc.,....& this is coming from an old die-hard 70's Kate Bush/Queen/John Farnham/Cold Chisel/Yothu Yindi/etc.,....70/80's Music in Oz was the Best time to live!!!!...But we Love that we are 'sharing with YOU our Aussie Music' that Never reached your shores...💕
Im more of a 90's Aussie music fan personally
@@Drift13Creations i wonder what he would think of '28 days'
Na might not be his cup of tea that one. Still listen to Rip It Up from time to time
@@theghost6412 Such an underrated band in my opinion
Was waiting for some Killing Heidi on your channel, I love em. Thanks for your honest review
Love this song! Was huge back in the day. The thing with this sort of music it's not about vocal perfection it's about a raw feeling. So many great bands have singers that are perfect for their sound, but would not win a talent show.
This was their earlier sound. She was only 16 here.
When the group separated they went out on their own.
She later had a far more different mature sound that suited her voice far better in a group called The Verses. To me she actually sounded very much like Fleetwood Mac in some of her songs.
One I love is The Verses: Want Everything.
Agree 👍
I didn’t like the song when it came out but now when I hear it I find myself liking it more, maybe for the fond memories of the year that it came out 🤷🏻♂️ I appreciate that you still have your honest opinion, not every reaction is going to take your breath away or blow your mind. Everyone has different tastes that’s the beauty of music, what might not be for you can be for someone else
Same! Didn't care for it back then but now it hit me in the memories
1999 was a bit of a unique feeling time of Australian music, going with a grunge/metal/punk kinda sound like frenzle romp, regurgitator etc. killing Heidi definitely not one of our best, but a staple and honorable mention none the less
They come out firing, Ella was only 15 here and they had some big hits including the Superman Movie Theme song.
Yep, she was 15 then!
Cheers!
Ella wrote this with her brother (also in the band) when she was 14. They topped the charts in Oz after winning a 'Home Grown" contest on the alternative station.
Ella Hooper was 16 when this was released. She can sang.
Ella Hooper is a absolute brilliant singer, give her anything to sing a she can sing it. Ella Hooper is one of the best singers Australia has and is respected by some of the best out there world wide.
😎🇦🇺
To be fair Ella was in high school when she made this song and her voice was still shy.
She has a delicate nature not all female rock or metal singers are rough and masculine or from trailer parks.
Metal music doesn't have to have one type of vocals.
Hence Within Tempation from Netherlands and Nightwish from Finland when they had Tarja Trunen as their singer.
IYKYK.
Love your honesty ❤️
I think it is a Brother Sister duet who formed the band, from a tiny tiny Town in Rural Victoria called Violet Town, not far from my home town.
Such a great band
Killing Heidi is very reminiscent for me! Takes me back to being a teenager, the time of peak Avril Lavigne, Evanescence, low rise jeans, thin layered belts, heavy eyeliner, etc, that strong female vocalist punk rock thing. The singing may not be hugely technical, but it wasn't about that. I think at the end of the day you're hearing it in 2022, not the early 2000s (as a wannabe emo teenager) and that makes a difference!
They were 90’s. All those people you mentioned were 2000’s
@@AussieGirl235 I must have been younger than I thought then when I heard those songs for the first time, that or I didn't hear them till later, which is also possible.
Samantha Edge - it’s very likely the station you listened to in the 2000’s was playing Killing Heidi stuff from the 90’s
This is what we listen and sing to on the way to the beach ... Whats missing for you ??
The Beach ?
She holds her own and then some !!
Ella is home grown and talented!
You need to put this in the context of it being 1999 and being an angsty teen. Put some fake dreads in, black eyeliner, low rise ripped jeans and an oversized band t-shirt.
This song is very about the juxtaposition of her sweet voice and the grunge instrumental. At the time grunge was huge in Australia.. this bordered on pop but was *grunge* .. about the same time as silverchair was popular.. but I could be wrong.. my memory is a little foggy from back then.. for reasons 😂
Adding to this.. her voice matured and became a LOT more powerful.. still, I love her voice in this.. although recordings are very ‘produced’, live they were brilliant! AND I saw them live in concert last Sunday.. THEY. WERE.AWESOME!
I noticed some of the high notes were avoided, but that could have been illness, or the dust (it was super dusty) or maybe lack of practice? Regardless very well done 💕
Was a fair and honest reaction and its appreciated thanks!
I feel like that mix of rock music and pop vocals was huge in the 90s. Especially for teenage girls.
I was 7 when this song came out and I was OBSESSED… especially with the lead singer. I wanted to be pop/punk vibes like her. I wanted the eye brow piercing too!
I feel like Australian artists sometimes break some of the genre rules that people usually apply.
I should add that this song takes a lot of Australians back in time and is super nostalgic. So even thought the vocals might not be amazing and the music is an acquired taste, it’s just one of those tracks that you hear and it takes you back in time.
As others have said. The band formed when Ella was 13 so she is super young.
I literally saw Killing Heidi in concert on Sunday night! They were awesome! 💕💕
Grew up with this. Haven't heard it in so long so I loved it
The vocal style is a distinct vibe, very much late 90's/early 00's combo of a light vocal styling with harder music - which for those of us from that era, is incredibly nostalgic. Her voice got stronger as she matured (she was 15 or 16 at time of this release), but i think the lighter tone with the bigger music style is a signature style. I don't personally think it "doesn't suit", it's just not the conventional sound - which I think it kind of the point - not all grunge has to be a heavy vocal.
Ella isn't a power vocalist. She's the lead singer of a band. Those two are incredibly different roles, imo
Love love Killing Heidi, they were one of my favourite bands when I was younger. Still love them now, they’re playing at my footy teams opening game of the season this weekend.
Killing heidi did the theme song for spiderman 2 which is an absolute fire song.
Killing heidi - I am
great react. Honest, respectful. To me you seem like a decent bloke.
Something special about seeing them live, the band *was* sick, something else came out on-stage - some familial vibe greater than the sum of its parts.
Bro lovin the Oz reactions cheers dare cuz ✊️
Love this
So many memories of these 90s bangers on the car radio when i was a kid. You hit the jackpot when you'd get like this song, a U2 track, followed by backstreet boys and aqua driving with your mum on a Saturday arvo. So much nostalgia.
This genre was was folk pop rock in the 90s
I saw them live at the opera house when this first came out. Her voice is huge. Especially live. Not sure what your hearing
I really appreciate that you just didn't kiss up and say you liked something you didn't.
Personally, I love all the contradictions between in the music and singing, etc kind of Killing Heidi's style.
Hey it's alright mate! I appreciate your opinions and commentaries, I grew up listening to Killing Heidi.. but I can understand and agree with the debut vocals 👍
Ella needs no excuse . She has an incredible voice in my opinion
Agree. Ella is an amazing vocalist and versatile. This was just Nick's first impression and he soon changed his mind when I sent requests of her solo music and Rockwiz performances when her voice had developed..Check them out. In my opinion Weir was always better live. The recording is overproduced (just my opinion)
Thank you for being unlike many other reaction youtubers and being willing to say a negative thing! I used to like this song as a teenager, but I can definitely see what you're saying.
I love Ella too! Yep only a 16yr old here. Maybe he would’ve liked Mascara better. We love her anyway. Looking forward to seeing Killing Heidi next month on the Gold Coast as part of the Red Hot Summer tour! Go Ella!
Summers spent at the local country Weir are always the best!! Memories plus with this song.
Slightly harsh - I guess being Aussie and having grown up that era, her voice and part of Killing Heidi, was iconic and part of the song and Killing Heidi's style and who they were. They were part of that late 90s, early 00s Pop-Rock landscape in Australia and had a few hits. Ella Hooper's look and gentle kindly ways in media interviews etc... they were a very likeable and approachable part of the music scene and got on well with other acts too. They broke out with this song and were the babies of the Aussie music industry back then as people said - they were only young teenagers then, but they would be part of the music scene for years to come. And again, with Weir - it saw alot of radio air-play for them at the time, a break-out hit for them. We had a number of 90's bands in Australia that were formed by quite talented teenagers and were still mid-late teens when they broke out in the mainstream - most famously and globally were Silverchair, but we had Killing Heidi and others too, very young, fledgling bands with instant break-out success. Often it was thanks to exposure on the Triple J station via ABC Radio (The national broadcaster, akin to BBC) and the Recovery program on ABC TV, the Big Day Out Festival Concerts too (Which featured many big and upcoming Aussie and International bands).
Very good to a reactioner be honest and say ''I don't like this''. I don't think you were rude, just honest. You can see sometimes reaction people don't like something, but they won't say it. As Bruce Springsteen says'' one mans whiskey is another mans wine.
Ella Hooper (Singer) was only 16 years old here... her voice matured with age.
You clearly like vocals more than what’s behind it musically..
I respect that brother.. peace and love from Queensland Australia..
I like it all but the vocals didn't hit well with the rock thing for me ya know.
It is very much about the juxtaposition between her voice and the music.
Rockwiz - her, paired up with Dan Sultan doing "A little help from my Friends". Shows a bit more of that development from her young voice here.
Love Killing Heidi , I love Ella’s voice but then was in high school when indie and alternative music was so popular. Ella does an amazing cover of Boys in town by the Divinyls. This song is their biggest so if u don’t like it then abort mission I guess. It’s a matter of taste really . I love that they have backed themselves the whole way and still tour and Aussies love them 💖
This song was definitely everywhere here when it came out. I was 20 at the time and not so into their sound. But it definitely brings back memories and now I'm off to see if I can dig up some recent things of Ella's to see what she is like now. :)
Always thank Ella for taking the time to have a chat with the lead female vocal of a band called Girl Vs Ghost and offering lots of tips and encourgement. GvG supported Ella's band: this was after Killing Heidi
Man, this song was huge when it came out... I guess you had to be there haha
They were an unknown country (location not style) band discovered on Australia's JJJ ('Youth Radio') channel.
the bass in this song is really nice.
While Ella may not have the power or range of Vanessa Amorosi or other great Aussie singers, a lot of great Aussie music is based on hard rock pub bands and Killing Heidi has that vibe and style in spades.
🔥🔥🔥🤙🤙🤙I rock with it
Having things that generally don't go together are what can make music interesting. Like symphonic metal or a violin in a punk rock song. Sometimes it doesn't matter how good singer you are when a thousand other good singers have done exactly the same thing.
Wow, I remember this being played to death on the radio back in 2000.
She was only 16 bro..
They have a song called ‘I Am’ and it was the Spider-Man 2 song (tobey Maguire version)
My fav song by them is called "a jar labeled small" it's epic
Ahhh my teenage years 💜
They were still a high school band at this stage. Ella/vocalist was 15 or 16 .
Aussie music in the late 90's early 2000's is so underated
Killing Heidi was the first CD i ever bought, as a kid, Ella - ooph boy crush :D . Still listen to them today.
You should hear the song that they won the Triple J Unearthed competition with to get signed. Can't remember the name of it right now. Ella was 15 when they won Unearthed
Ella is so beautiful 😢😢😢😢🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
You do a lot of "crazy vocalists", she's definitely not that and I don't think was ever presented that way, this was just a kinda cool band from back in the day. Think she wrote the songs at least. Its funny I think we used to tolerate mediocrity a little more, now it's all these huge vocal moments on the voice and etc and we expect people to spew mind-blowing fire. No one was really expecting that from some shitty garage band in 1998. It was more a "scene".
Listen to her live version of 'With a little help from my friends' with Dan Sultan. That's brilliant!!
When I borrowed the album off a woman in the office many many moons ago she gave it to me and said "listen to it loud". She wasn't wrong!
It's 2005 Australia mate, sitting at the lights in ya car with ya JVC head set blasting this.
Their best song is Mascara which I think you’ll like a bit better!
Love these guys, so much more to Ella, give her a good chance with something else, she is just great🥰
She is way better now and now songs more acoustic folk indie music
The Superjesus - Down Again
Have a look at more recent stuff from Ella Hooper as she was only a teenager when this was released. Thanks for honest reviews.
Agreed. :-)
It's the first time I have to disagree with you. Love her voice. I guess you'll have to listen to more of her. She was 16 when this song was released, try Mascara , probably a better song for her. Other great Aussies I'd like you to react to would be the Radiators- Standing in a room full of diamonds. Anything from Silverchair or some Johnny O'Keeffe
A brother and sister band, Jessie and Ella Hooper, Ella the lead singer was 16 at the time this was recorded.
I grew up with this!
She was very young then .
She has developed
good job chief - no free rides
Ella is a babe. Then and now. I believe Killing Heidi 's song "I Am" was the main Spiderman movie song. Check out their other songs.
Another great Aussie rock band lead by a female singer that is worth listening to, is the Rogue Traders.
I think you've seen Ella in one of those clips with a lot of singers together.
PMSl. So how did your nattional number one hit go as a vocalist when you were 17?
She's actually got some pipes. She's only about 16 here, and it's in the first couple of songs they ever did. Sounds great to me still though.
yes
Second comment (lol)
This song musically is very much about the juxtaposition of her sweet voice and the grunge instrumental. At the time grunge was huge in Australia.. this bordered on pop but was *grunge* .. about the same time as silverchair was popular.. but I could be wrong.. my memory is a little foggy from back then.. for reasons 😂
Adding to this.. her voice matured and became a LOT more powerful.. still, I love her voice in this.. although recordings are very ‘produced’ and played up the ‘sweetness’.. live they were brilliant! In fact I saw them live in concert last Sunday.. THEY. WERE.AWESOME! 💕🇦🇺
I noticed some of the high notes were avoided, but that could have been illness, or the dust (it was super dusty) or maybe lack of practice? Regardless very well done 💕
Ella is a good friend of my friend Ash from the band 67 Special. She sung on one of their early songs “Curious Minds “. I think you would like her voice on that track but don’t think it is on TH-cam. Ash himself has an amazing voice. You should listen to “hey there bomb” by them.
Their family is music asf hippies bro even their parents are both pro at instruments and her mother was a singer her dad is awesome guitar bass player and other instruments
Think she'll grow on you as you see her getting older and maturing, having said that I loved this when it came out and still do.
Always loved Ella Hooper, she seems like such a great person. Also love Killing Heidi, I can see why they’re not your style though. If you don’t like Weir, you’re probably not going to like their other songs. 👍👍
You should have a listen to the album Reflector. Also check her cover of
From big things little things grow
