Jaxon never fails to amaze me...I think it's great he is so well rounded culturally..it just shows how much this generation has changed from mine...where he gets praised now, back then he would have been the nerdy white boy...I think it's great that we have changed so much as a society
Jack and Izzy are adorable and fun together! Izzy dragged you in every time Jack! Brandel and Izzy together were a great team! They did better than any of the others! And I really liked Jaxon and Erin together. Everybody's having sooo much fun!
A-ha is only "One-hits wonder" in USA. But in rest in the world, like continents in Europe, Asia, South-America their is A-ha huges with many hits from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s
Izzy with hoodie really had fun in this episode. She enjoed music so much that even Jack wasn't able to resist. I like her for that. She allways having fun with music episodes.
FunFact: Toni Basil was 41 when she recorded 'Hey Mickey' and what she wore was her high school cheerleading uniform. Also A-Ha also recorded a song for the 1987 James Bond film Living Daylights!
A-Ha is not a 1 hit wonder. They had a ton of hits. The Sun Always Shines on TV, The Living Daylights, I've Been Losing You, Hunting High and Low, Crying in the Rain.
They did specify that some of the songs they were playing were from the perspective of the US charts, but even then, The Sun Always Shines On TV hit #20 on the Billboard Hot 100.
also, soft cell werent one hit wonders, they had "say hello, wave goodbye", "bedsitter" & "torch". not as big, but still hits nonetheless. just like right said fred, they had "deeply dippy" and "youre my mate". still hits albeit not as big :)
I just want to see Izzy I and Izzy R side by side in a Try not to sing challenge because they seem to always have fun and their Chaos Energy would feed each other.
Take Me On! I was just singing and dancing with everyone. I just rewatched this 3 times already. Everyone was superfun. I had a ton of fun enjoying this with you guys. 🎉👍🏼
I'm Canadian and a lot of our charts are an amalgamation of US and UK charts, so we knew a lot of the other hits from these artists. "The Sun Always Shines on TV" was a big big hit for a-ha, it was even used as a theme song for a MuchMusic show.
Yeah, a-ha did not achieve the same success in the United States as they did in Europe; in the US, they only got two hits: Take on Me at #1, and the now oft-forgotten The Sun Always Shines on TV which had a modest peak at #20. Because Sun is mostly forgotten in the US today, that left Take on Me as the band's "true" hit in the eyes of Americans.
WOW, to say a-ha has only one hit, they had albums that sold millions, lol This was in 1985-6, and they are still going strong. "During 2010, the band earned an estimated 500 million Norwegian kroner from concert tickets, merchandise and the release of a greatest hits album, making them one of the 40-50 highest-grossing bands in the world." "The band were listed in the Guinness World Records book for having the biggest-paying rock concert attendance; they drew an audience of 198,000 at Maracanã Stadium during the Rock in Rio festival. They have sold more than 100 million units, albums and singles combined." *not a huge fan, but damn, even I know a-ha 😛😛😛😛
"Bulletproof" by La Roux is ironic, mostly because the song is bulletproof! LOVE the song and also the 80s inspired geometric shapes and patterns for the music video! I watch that music video often!
Spin Doctors and A-ha aren’t one hit wonders Apart from Two Princes the Spin Doctors have Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong, Jimmy Olsen’s Blues and then a cover of Have You Ever Seen the Rain Apart from Take on Me A-Ha had ‘Hunting High and Low’, ‘The Sun Always Shines on T.V.’ And ‘The Living Daylights’
I KNEW Jack and Izzy I. were gonna give in with Mickey, but not so quickly! lolol 2 seconds in and Izzy was like, F* it! Shoulder bop! Peer pressure, go figure. I don't blame Jack tho! Her enthusiasm is infectious! I did expect Jaxon to hold out but that song demands movement!
Gotye is an Aussie national hero. I spent many many times crying over his song “hearts a mess” as I went through a divorce. He is very very talented and has many hits here.
@@jennifergreen6510it was a hit at the time. There are a lot of top 40 hits from past decades that were big at the time but have been forgotten about now.
Toni Basil actually was a cheerleader at Las Vegas High School. I remember some of these and they are still classics. My two boys still dance to Never Gonna Give You Up. Tainted Love was also featured in the movie Coneheads.
Izzy & Jack have the bestie energy we all strive for in this video 😂 Also Jaxon needs to do voiceover work if he hasn't already, always entertained by what he has to say 😂😂🤣
I love Gotye for a few years before he blew up and you gotta love that while that song blowing up the way it did was unexpected, he was probably capable of just having a full pop career with his talent and he just decided "nah, i'm good. i'm gonna go do whatever the f i feel like" so he did. haha
I had to look this one up. I was born and grew up in the 80s and had never heard it! Unlike people commenting about Afromans colt45, this one actually makes A-Ha not a OHW!
@@peircemarks9197 On top of that, I don't think any artists who gets asked to write a theme song for a Bond movie should ever be called a one hit wonder. To me one hit wonders are not about the amount of hits but rather having a hit and then disappearing pr breaking up.
@@peircemarks9197 No, to me being a one hit wonder is more than just having had one it. There are world renown acts that have never had even a single hit. People focus on the one hit part but not enough on the wonder part. If you have a long and successful career in music then you are not a one hit wonder.
Weirdly, Tainted Love was the one that got me most instinctively. The others I lost to were ones I quite like, so I WANTED to sing/dance along. But I was saying the “bum buh!” on Tainted Love before I even knew what I was doing.
What did u expect,They still are considered one hit wonders in US.Yet here in Europe also Latin America they are a multi succesful band over the years (both singles/albums category)
Thank you Izzy for defending Gotye. He didn't really have another mainstream hit, but 'Making Mirrors' (the album with 'Somebody That I Used to Know' on it) was actually his third album and he had plenty of hits on indie/alternative radio before this one. When I first heard him on mainstream radio I was so excited that more people would be able to hear his music, but I had no idea how big that song would get.
To each contestant: "How quickly can you forget that you are supposed to not sing or dance to these songs?" Everyone: "Yes." The dogs in the pound next door: 😆
Man, Bulletproof was EVERYWHERE when it came out. I remember hearing it at least 10 times a day between the music played at my work and the radio in the car.
Jaxon never fails to amaze me...I think it's great he is so well rounded culturally..it just shows how much this generation has changed from mine...where he gets praised now, back then he would have been the nerdy white boy...I think it's great that we have changed so much as a society
He's the proof of reincarnation.
I couldn't agree more!
Did you guys used to watch the original versions of these. His mom appears and you can see why he is so well rounded.
Jaxon's a bad azz - knows music from 4 decades back...
80s
Jack and Izzy are adorable and fun together! Izzy dragged you in every time Jack! Brandel and Izzy together were a great team! They did better than any of the others! And I really liked Jaxon and Erin together. Everybody's having sooo much fun!
She caused him to get his first point on Take Me On..... but they never gave her points for the dancing. LMAO
Jaxon doesn’t care if he wins or loses these challenges. He’s just here for the vibes.
Maybe on react but we all know he can’t handle punishments on pvf 🤣
A-ha is only "One-hits wonder" in USA.
But in rest in the world, like continents in Europe, Asia, South-America their is A-ha huges with many hits from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s
They were a one-hit wonder in Canada, too.
So was Right said Fred....
@@jennifergreen6510Who cares about Canada though
@@jennifergreen6510 Nah they had other hits in Canada too in the 80s and 90s.
I love how Izzy and Jack did not care its was a try not to and just went in
Erin and Jaxon’s duet for Take on me was perfect!! They looked so in sync
Lol, I think that's the third time he has reacted to that song. First time he reacted to it, as a kid I think, he said it was his favourite song.
Jaxon is such an old soul, and I LOVE that his parents introduced him to so many kinds of music at a young age.
Izzy with hoodie really had fun in this episode. She enjoed music so much that even Jack wasn't able to resist. I like her for that. She allways having fun with music episodes.
As soon as Take On Me came on, I just KNEW Jaxon was gonna lose his shit 😅😅😅
The passion that girl Izzy had when pointing out that Gotye is the villain is actually the best
Seriously love how Jaxson just doesn't care and sings to every song
thinking the same thing
Basically, the equivalent of Sharon with Try Not to Eat
Jaxon just wanted an excuse to sing his fav songs lmao
Don't we all?
@@Gabriel45206yep
Izzy and Jack together are so much fun. I just want to hang out with them cause you know it would be a blast.
Izzy and Jack said "its a vibe" they danced and sang every time 😂😂
Ahem ... a-ha a one hit wonder? They also had "Living a Boy's Adventure Tale" that hit the charts. They were a TWO hit wonder thank You very much. lol
? two hits? Sun always shines on TV? Crying in the rain? Cry Wolf?
I was trying to be funny, but Yes indeed, a-ha had a great many hits and it's too bad people only remember the one. 👍🏻
FunFact: Toni Basil was 41 when she recorded 'Hey Mickey' and what she wore was her high school cheerleading uniform.
Also A-Ha also recorded a song for the 1987 James Bond film Living Daylights!
OMG😁😁😁 Jackson is so talented with all the voices he can make.... He needs his own show!!!! Awesome CAST!!! 💌
I love Izzy and Jack together they are such a good pair👍🏼🤣
A-Ha is not a 1 hit wonder. They had a ton of hits. The Sun Always Shines on TV, The Living Daylights, I've Been Losing You, Hunting High and Low, Crying in the Rain.
They did specify that some of the songs they were playing were from the perspective of the US charts, but even then, The Sun Always Shines On TV hit #20 on the Billboard Hot 100.
None of those were hits in the U.S.
Watching these babies react to the songs I grew up with is both fun and difficult.
Jaxon, you sir, was born in the wrong decade!!! He knows the good music!
gotye was a one hit wonder, now he's just somebody that we used to know
also, soft cell werent one hit wonders, they had "say hello, wave goodbye", "bedsitter" & "torch". not as big, but still hits nonetheless. just like right said fred, they had "deeply dippy" and "youre my mate". still hits albeit not as big :)
@@jameskirkbydrumsIn the US, they're all one-hit wonders.
Bro 😂💀
That joke needed to be made. Well done
Jaxon is so real for his reaction to Bad Day. It's my mom favorite song, and I really like it. It always gives me childhood vibes.
I worked radio back in the day. And We played the living crud out of A-Ha..... The Sun Always Shines On TV. It was absolutely Top 40!
A-Ha wasn't a one-hit wonder in the US; they had two top-20 hits on the Billboard pop singles charts.
I just want to see Izzy I and Izzy R side by side in a Try not to sing challenge because they seem to always have fun and their Chaos Energy would feed each other.
I will never not click on a video that Jackson is in. He’s my favorite!
As a Norwegian, calling A-HA a one hit wonder was like being punched in the face… 😅
samme. Men ikke bare i Norge de har hatt flere hits. I USA også, so one hit wonder er en fornærmelse
Same for me with Gotye as an Australian
As an American, I knew better! "I Wish I Cared" should have been a hit here, it even made its way on to an episode of Smallville in season 2.
I always thought they were Australian 😮
both Izzy`s looks so much fun to hang with. so much energy lol
As a man named Micky who was born in the mid-70's, that song was the bane of my existence. It occasionally still rears its ugly head.
Take Me On! I was just singing and dancing with everyone. I just rewatched this 3 times already. Everyone was superfun. I had a ton of fun enjoying this with you guys. 🎉👍🏼
it's always a party when Izzy and Jack are paired together
I love how the "Try Not to Sing" challenges on React have basically become Karaoke Hour.
And I'm okay with that. 😀
Jaxon really loves music and it shows! He always know every song, no matter of the age or genre!
A-Ha also had Living Daylights and The Sun Always Shines on TV
Izzy and Jack seriously makes me laugh so hard 🤣
Man, how did La Roux not take off beyond Bulletproof? She was lit.
I'm Canadian and a lot of our charts are an amalgamation of US and UK charts, so we knew a lot of the other hits from these artists. "The Sun Always Shines on TV" was a big big hit for a-ha, it was even used as a theme song for a MuchMusic show.
Riiiiighhht? Don't OHW A-HA
actually The Sun Always Shines on TV got to #20 in the US too
Izzy and Jack were so much fun this episode 😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
If A-HA was a one hit onder in the US, they've been missing out.
Came back here after couple of years to find out Jaxon is still my favourite :) amazing young man, love his vibe :) and love REACT!
Izzy energy always on 1000 when it comes to reaching to throwback videos luv it.
God i love both the Izzy's. They just exude so much charisma
I am obsessed with Izzy and then I found she's Brazilian. Gurl, I live.
a-ha's "The Sun Always Shines on TV" reached number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 from the same album as "Take on Me".
And Cry Wolf was in the US Billboard the following year, so 2 definite hits and 3 chart entries = not a 1 hit wonder.
All these couples are fantastic! All their energies match each other. More of them together please!
Don't call them couples plz
A-HA one hit wonder ???
I know right?
they say in America. Maybe only take on me blew up there@@douglassilva2709
I love The Living Daylights.
Yeah, a-ha did not achieve the same success in the United States as they did in Europe; in the US, they only got two hits: Take on Me at #1, and the now oft-forgotten The Sun Always Shines on TV which had a modest peak at #20. Because Sun is mostly forgotten in the US today, that left Take on Me as the band's "true" hit in the eyes of Americans.
Yeah AHA is not a one hit wonders
I knew Jaxon would lose to “Take On Me” but no shame Jaxon! That song is awesome!! 🎤
I like how he's a Gen Z who likes some 80's music.
@@IWantToPetYourDog he’s got excellent taste on music for sure.
You know they're one-hit wonders when you can sing the song but have literally never heard the artist's name. 😂
I can't believe that they actually knew the songs that are from the 80s and 90s! It's amazing! 🥰
I don't believe you spin me right round or rock me Amadeus wasn't on this list! We need a part 2! 😱
the Izzys, Jack and Jackson always get me going. its an energy thing!!
Jaxon
@@lifewuzonceezr autocorrect bruh
please put Izzy and Jack together in ALL VIDEOS, i love these two together

Apart from Two Princes the Spin Doctors have Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong, Jimmy Olsen’s Blues and then a cover of Have You Ever Seen the Rain
Apart from Take on Me A-Ha had ‘Hunting High and Low’, ‘The Sun Always Shines on T.V.’ And ‘The Living Daylights’
Glad the future generations will keep take on me alive
Put Izzy and Izzy together for these try not to sing challenges. Love to see them just singing.
Tubthumping by Chumbawamba has to be on that list!!
Yea!!!!! Jack and Izzy together rock.
❤

Was waiting for Tubthumping and 99 Red Balloons, lol
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and Chumbawumba's "Thumb Thumping" comes to mind as memorable one hit wonders.
Chumbawumba all the way
Gotye is an Aussie national hero. I spent many many times crying over his song “hearts a mess” as I went through a divorce. He is very very talented and has many hits here.
Every single song they played, still slaps in someone's playlist
I'm that someone... I'm pretty positive every song they played is on my ipod.
A-HA one hit wonder???? with 7 top10 albums and 9 top10 songs!!!!Oh boy, you really messed that up!!!
In the US, they are a one-hit wonder.
It's US. Sometimes they miss something.
@@tanyam5471 Yes, like the fact that A-ha had a top 20 hit in the US with The sun Always Shines on TV.... so not a 1 hit wonder
@@claytoncourtney1309If it didn't get regular airplay and the general public don't know the song, it's not a hit.

Love the video.
Take On Me would have broke me too. Such a classic.
Jack and the Izzys are a vibe 😂 brilliant
'Take on me' will be a belt out song even 100 years from now 🤩
The singing Ah Ha was really pretty good!
3:28 Leaving the whole 1-hit wonders topic on a side... THEY ALL SING REALLY GOOD...

Jaxon cracks me up. I love watching him. He just loves music, especially the 80s. He is just such fun. I bet he would win a game of Name that Tune
I talk for all of eastern Europe when I say Mr. Saxobeat was THE song of like 2/3 summers.
They need to sit the Izzys together every time they are in the same video 😁
Sorry but I feel like they cancel each other out somehow..they're more subdued next to each other imo
A-Ha is technically not a one hit wonder even in the US since The Sun Always Shines on TV was also a top 20 hit for them.

Cry Wolf hit 50 at Billboard, so it's there, too.

A-ha band had plenty of good songs. They were popular in Europe. Best regards from Poland.

Really love Izzy and Jack's chemistry!!!
WTF... A-ha a one hit wonder????????????? LOL
Not gonna lie, the only reason I know “Hey Mickey” is purely the end credits of Bring It On 😅
This is THE funnest video I've seen in a long time! Thanks
I love how they're not even trying to resist singing along.
1:26 So close! It was actually played at the end of the first Bring It On with Eliza Dushku and Kirsten Dunst
