@@clementineyaya9074 Hmh not to spoil antrhing yet for PMD so (read with caution) but: I feel that "Deep" sort of loses the main East 17 sound. Yes they did dabble with hip-hop, but their sound started to become more general american toward the later part of the 90's. I always thought that they where unique because of the fact they used a fusion of the early house beats and rave music in their songs instead of usual R&B or hip hop sound. I will say though if you put "Deep" into your list as the last song of 4 you can definitely see the diversity in their work .
Alright is a really clever use of lyrics because it's a common British greeting. Especially in London. If you walk past someone you know- you just nod and say "alright" to eachother. But you don't answer wether or not youre actually alright. 😂
Love how you felt about this. They were a phenomenal pop group back then, their music was truly awesome, Brian had an absolutely beautiful singing voice. And their fashion style was bad ass! All around one of the best things to come out of the 90’s! Really can’t put into words how much of a great vibe these guys had.
I agree, my friend. And, Brian still HAS an absolutely beautiful singing voice. I would not have expected that judging by his speaking voice these days. But I was mind-blown when he started to sing. Still a fan and so euphoric when I hear their songs. ❤ My very first concert was an EAST 17 concert. I'll never forget that. 😍 Greetings and much love from Germany
You should definitely react to their beautiful ballad stay another day it was written by band member Tony Mortimer about his brothers suicide and it's a truly epic and beautiful yet heartbreaking song and also a Christmas classic funnily enough
I loved East 17 back in the day and I still do. These songs have stood the test of time very well. Kim Wilde even covered this one. Other major hits to listen to from them are "House Of Love", "Around The World", "Let It Rain" or "Gold" but there are so many wonderful songs from them it's hard to count them all. But these 4 are amazing to me.
100 percent. Brian has one thing going for him and its not his temper or work ethic, he has his own unique and strong voice. Its why Wyclef picked him for a collab in the early 2000s
Wow, finally a reaction to my favorite band. Fell in love with East 17 back then when I was 10. Brian Harvey's voice is still my favorite voice of all time, it's just so smooth and warm, but can also get strong. I can still listen to their songs all day, it's a nice mix of pop, dance with a bit R'n'B, Hip Hop and Rock elements here and there. I especially love the live footage from their first tour ("Letting Off Steam The Around The World Tour").
East 17 recommendations: Deep Around the world Stay another day (This was Christmas number 1 in the uk and us still played soooo much at Christmas time) And I highly recommend 'If you Ever' featuring Gabrielle xx
My first band when I started liking music. House of Love Deep Gold It's Alright West End Girls Steam Hold My Body Tight Stay Another Day Around the World Let it Rain Generation XTC
love this track the remixes were fabulous too, brians vocals as lead singer were fantastic! listen to if you ever and let it rain and around the world and thunder
OK east 17 and take that came out around the same time. So u had to be either a take that fan or east 17 fan u could not be both 😂😂😂😂 it was mental ❤❤❤❤
East 17 performs live better than any boyband. Even all of their TOTP performances are actually live, unlike many other pop acts. They are one rare breed in that they also bother to play synth and bass live as well..
E17 were the alternative to take that like all saints were the alternative to the spice girls. Tony on the piano was the creative one like Gary.brian was the singer and the other two did the backing and dancing like Howard and jason but they were more talented. Please do house of love,deep and steam.
Popular '90s boyband that rivaled Take That in the charts with eighteen Top 20 singles. These days former singer Brian Harvey has a small TH-cam channel where he posts some fairly disturbing content... I don't know exactly what's going on there but my impression is that he is sadly not well. :(
Aww East 17 - Take That's UK rivals LOL Stay Another Day is their Mariah All I Want For Christmas equivalent lol Love their song Deep though. House Of Love is good too.
They were great in.the day but Brian couldnt control his addictions and without him they just never had that voice. For a short time they had the world at their feet and it all went the wrong way.
They were the first concert I've ever been to, in Paris in 1995 ( I was 14), and they were also awesome performers. Got to the stage climbing down ropes from the ceiling like in a bootcamp 😮
All of the recommendations are great but I'm surprised that nobody has recommended "Deep". That is a brilliant track...'im going deep, deep deep down" I wonder what he was talking about! Haha 😂😂❤️ ❤️ They also released a version of West end girls because their manager was the PSB manager back in the day. I liked all of E17's singles with the exception of the song they did with Gabrielle which is strange because I love Gabrielle. The lead singer is Brian Harvey (voice of an angel but, brain of a frozen pea). There was a young girl in the UK called Leah Betts who took ecstasy and ended up in a comma and died, he made a comment on late night radio that he took E every weekend and that lead to a big boycott of the band (by parents) so he was sacked from the band, and that was the end of E17.
It’s funny to think that at one point East 17 were actually bigger than Take That. I wonder if it would have turned out very differently if Brian had gone to rehab and Robbie hadn’t.
Oh recommendations? Right...uhm,to have a great variety episode i suggest: East 17 - If You Ever (feat Gabrielle) [Official Video],East 17 - Gold (let the guys humour you with a fun video), East 17-Stay Another Day (i see you already got full coverage about this song),East 17 - Let It Rain (Who knew rain could be this hot) and East 17 - House Of Love (the music video that introduced me to East 17,everyone looking super young,oh and you get to meet theyr mascot. PS: Mascot is also with them in Gold that I mentioned) What/who is the mascot? Oh its a secret😁
This one was my favourite song in mid-90s when I was a kid. Still listen to them once in a while. I agree with what the other guys proposed - House of Love, Gold, Let It Rain (in the style of It's Argiht), Deep (more rap-based and sexy) and Thunder (absolutely gorgeous ballad). And as for the live versions of it's Allright - here are two from 1994 and 1995, I had both these concerts on VHS:) Quite different arrangements, the first one seems to be played absolutely live 1994: th-cam.com/video/iX5FQntLdwg/w-d-xo.html 1995: th-cam.com/video/sjuMSYKjZtk/w-d-xo.html
Off topic but have you listened to D:ream? I loved TT in the 90s (still do!) But D:ream were THE band for me...I was also in love (ie OBSESSED) with Peter the singer...still am...truth be told!
I'm a little late to the party, sorry! Seeing as you're so incredibly open to listening to UK recording artists, I've another one to recommend to ya! Have you listened to Louise Redknapp? She's a former member of the girl band Eternal but went solo in 1995. Some amazing stuff!! Check her out!!
Wonderfull reaction to that. Your facial expressions show so much. Please see the 'e17 resurrection ' album.. the band fell out , they got back together without tony mortimer and did resurrection ,an r&b album with brian harvey vocals on full show. Its a brilliant album. Due to bad/no marketing it went nowhere and disapeared, (though i think first teo tracks went to no.1 in uk) its a very good album!
Had a feeling you would love Brian Harveys vocals 👯♀️💃🕺Tony Mortimer is the tallest one rapping,and in the back you have John Hendy and Terry Coldwell (has facial hair) Only "boyband" i did not feel embarrased over liking after i got out of my teens😂In theyr own words: "We dont consider ourselfs a boyband though... *short pause* Interviewer: What do you call yourselfs then? Brian: "We call ourselfs a manband!" *Everyone bursts out laughing* I loved East 17 so much because they were different then everyone else,and they sounded different.
Yeah, finally! PLEASE check out Deep. But only the video, Deep directed by Richard Heslop, it's the the adult (and better version) Please, please!!! You won't regret it. LOVE YOUR REACTION VIDEOS😊
Oh oh PMD discovered East 17,...finally, cant wait to see more. My vote for a ful episode goes: House Of Love, Stay Another Day, Thunder, Let it Rain
Deep, Do you Still, Around the World. Brilliant boyband despite me being a TT fan 😅

Are you sure it’s just in London
For the full East 17 episode I would highly recommend "House of Love", which was their debut single and is one of my absolute favorites by them.
yes, more East 17 please. For a ful episode I recommend: Deep, House Of Love, Gold, Stay Another Day

i remember dancing to this song at some school discos...good times

Tony Mortimer (piano) and Brian
Harvey (vocals) were like George and Andrew if you mixed the talent between them
Brian (the lead) defo has a soulfulness to his voice that MJ, George and Boy G have. Again, not comparing. But imho that’s the familiarity.
100 percent.
Brian has one thing going for him and its not his temper or work ethic, he has his own unique and strong voice. Its why Wyclef picked him for a collab in the early 2000s
Ahhh gotta love the 90s 😂

As a BSB fan; and then came East 17… a whole new level. I recommend Thunder! Great reaction.
East 17 recommendations:
Deep
Around the world
Stay another day (This was Christmas number 1 in the uk and us still played soooo much at Christmas time)
And I highly recommend 'If you Ever' featuring Gabrielle xx
Omg my fave youtuber reacting to my fave 90s band. It was East 17 or Take That, you were absolutely not allowed to like both. #teamEast17
❤️😊
Yes, and East 17 was the ‘cool’ band!
Brian Harvey ….top boyband voice ….East 17 we’re like the naughty boy band from the wrong side of the tracks
The OG boyband rivalry was Take That Vs East 17. Before NSync & Backstreet Boys.
My first band when I started liking music.
House of Love
Deep
Gold
It's Alright
West End Girls
Steam
Hold My Body Tight
Stay Another Day
Around the World
Let it Rain
Generation XTC
I loved this when this came out! All the kids did here!😅
They're fully pop because the UK was/still is? The land of pop.
Also the 90s were the eurodance Era before coming back in full force in the 2000s.
3rd fave boyband after TT and Wham. ‘If You Ever’ with Gabrielle, and the 3rd best in the YKXmas song’Stay Another Day’. Also check out Gabrielle
Recommendations: Deep, Slow It Down, Steam, Hold My Body Tight, Around The World, Thunder, Right Here With You
For the next full reaction you must do: West End Girls, House Of Love, Stay Another Day & Let It Rain 👌🏻
So surprised no one mentioning Around the World, Hold my body tight & Each time in the comments. Love those tunes.
I’d love to be listening to this for the first time again 😂
Watch their Christmas no 1 . Stay Another Day
love this track the remixes were fabulous too, brians vocals as lead singer were fantastic! listen to if you ever and let it rain and around the world and thunder
recommend the song - Thunder by e17, the piano at the beginning and Brian's voice are top!
OK east 17 and take that came out around the same time. So u had to be either a take that fan or east 17 fan u could not be both 😂😂😂😂 it was mental ❤❤❤❤
I love east 17, Tony is great so g writer and Brian has wonderful voice. There are so many great east 17's songs.

Brian Harvey was an amazing talent, he could have been a true legend if he hadn't been marred by his scandals.
Popular '90s boyband that rivaled Take That in the charts with eighteen Top 20 singles. These days former singer Brian Harvey has a small TH-cam channel where he posts some fairly disturbing content... I don't know exactly what's going on there but my impression is that he is sadly not well. :(
God bless Brian❤
I took my friend to see them in concert in Cardiff - I did not hear one word of the concert cos of all the screaming girls lol
Eeeeekkkk yay love this band.
Deep, house of love are both 90s perfection. Great reaction again my friend.
Thanks!
If youre looking for a boyband that does unashamed pop - Big Fun.
Aww East 17 - Take That's UK rivals LOL Stay Another Day is their Mariah All I Want For Christmas equivalent lol
Love their song Deep though. House Of Love is good too.
They were great in.the day but Brian couldnt control his addictions and without him they just never had that voice. For a short time they had the world at their feet and it all went the wrong way.
1:33 That look on your face 😅👍🏻 Knew it was coming 😂 East 17 has great songs 👍🏻
Someone To Love
Hey Child
Christmas Song... Gift Of Christmas with various Artists
They were the first concert I've ever been to, in Paris in 1995 ( I was 14), and they were also awesome performers. Got to the stage climbing down ropes from the ceiling like in a bootcamp 😮
I will still crank this up whenever i hear it.
East 17 and Gabrielle if you ever. Possibly one of the greatest songs of all time
All of the recommendations are great but I'm surprised that nobody has recommended "Deep". That is a brilliant track...'im going deep, deep deep down" I wonder what he was talking about! Haha 😂😂❤️ ❤️

Ah, I used to ❤ east 17, esp. Brian. Nice to be reminded on them overhere! I’m in for more E17 😊. I think I had ‘walthamstow’, an album of theirs.
Great beat makes you feel like going out dancing in the clubs nice choice.
Oh recommendations? Right...uhm,to have a great variety episode i suggest: East 17 - If You Ever (feat Gabrielle) [Official Video],East 17 - Gold (let the guys humour you with a fun video), East 17-Stay Another Day (i see you already got full coverage about this song),East 17 - Let It Rain (Who knew rain could be this hot) and East 17 - House Of Love (the music video that introduced me to East 17,everyone looking super young,oh and you get to meet theyr mascot.

1995:

But with E17 -Let It rain, West end Girls and the iconic 'House Of Love' are the big ones

East 17 stay another day
You have to pick one or the other, TT or E17. You can't have both. Haha, only joking, but this was us brits in the 90s - you couldn't like both 😅
nice!
awesome 👏
"Steam" is the best ❤

Recommendations
Deep
Around the world
Slow it Down
Gold
Do you still
West end girls
Hold my body tight
If you ever
Considering they were a smash hit in the UK, Australia & Europe, it's surprising they had little to no success in the US
1990-1995 Was a time when US and UK music scenes were furthest apart.
Do reaction to Walad by Haifa Wehbe please 💖
Good choice ,they have maaaanyyyy great songs ( still waiting for Jason Donovan😉)
I loved this band..Brian got treated badly..end of.
Never been my Favourite Song!
I prefer House of Love !
And Harvey was comparer to Michael and Mortimer to Prince
With East 17 in their prime was a good band to listen too,
Shame Tony wanted to be the lead singer and ruined the band
Teź za malolata myslalem, że ich house of love, to spiewa george michael😀
React to solid harmonie i wanna love you ❤
Why were my comments deleted?
Thanks for the response 🙄
No where near as good as take that, was a lot of rivalry between us fans, soz yawn over-rated know i am gonna get it
Oh well
PMD I have to say that I'm basically a straight man but you're a very beautiful human being, very attractive, very intelligent and very down to earth.
Thank you so much! ❤️😊
@PancakeMarshmallowDude you're more than welcome. I love your reactions ❤️
Deep is easily the best E17 song ever
My god I’ve not heard this in years!
