Clem Burke is one of the best drummers in the music scene, IMHO. So tight, like a metronome. Highly underrated. He gave the band something special.
Total monster player.
Agree Clem is awesome!
Clem is timeless. Always kills it
Yes. Good point. His drumming is pretty phenomenal. Not mentioned often enough when great drummers are discussed.
Definitely some fine drumming. 🥁
Saw her and pretenders in small venue in Sydney
she hardly had to sing a song
crowd just took over at start of every song
one of the great night's of my life
LEGEND
Blondie’s Parallel Lines was my first album. I think I was 7. I played the record over and over. Fade Away and Radiate is the best song on there IMO. She was so beautiful. Still is. :)
Omg what a crush I had on her forty years ago!
Vocal coach that hisses when she talks...Debbie is 100x her superior
I watched her last Stage performance, Its incredible how she still performe all the old hits, with her age, over 70. Blondi, DEVO and Joy Division, are unique and was way ahead of their time. DEVO still is hundreds of years head:D
I think Debbie Harry has an amazing voice
2 songs
Heart of glass and hanging on the telephone
Her voice range is amazing
I gotta say, you're one of my top favorite reactors. I like the analysis, or "what makes them them". 💟 You're appreciated
Blondie are icons. Heart Of Glass is one of their slower songs though. I’d love to see you react to Call Me or One Way Or Another
remember she is 76 and still good
8-10 Year old me had such a crush on Debbie.
Some of the great things to watch are when she'd go on TV and they'd force her to lip sync and she would go out of her way to make it so obvious that she hated it. It's so different from how she was in a genuine live performance.
Also remember that while Blondie crossed a ton of genres over the years, at heart they were always the punk band they started as and Debbie was, deep down, a punk queen who started at CBGB with all the attitude that entails. :)
True that punk thing. They originally were punk, but Debbie’s singing ability / stage presence / appearance took them a whole different direction than they intended. Not a bad thing though. Good for all us fans and they became famous and rich.😀
Nice analysis. Singing is not just about range and pitch and vocal gymnastics. Harry is a master at performance and nuance in her vocals. She conveys “attitude” through her vocals like few other singers. You are spot on about the band. My only nit pic is an earlier example would have been a much better example. There are some amazing YT videos of a concert in England at the height of her career.
The bar i went to in Cambridge when this song was on top of the pops. Was completely quiet, everyone stopped talking shooting darts etc al.
Debbie siempre supo acomodar su genial timbre y voz. Fue grandiosa y por eso Blondie fue grandioso.
Debbie Harry is magical. Love her forever.
She is still a total badass.
Hi! I love this video and song! I love Blondie! Debbie is sooo amazing! Take care!
GOD!!!!! Blondie is awnsome… what a great react, thanks. Tina Turner and Blondie are my favorites. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The scary thing is that this performance is now vintage! From when they first reunited around 1999. Seems like yesterday, I don’t know how 20+ years have gone by. She was in her early 50s here and now is in her mid 70s. She still sounds similar, although has lost a bit of power in her voice which I guess is understandable being in her 70s.
She's now 98 and rocking at Glastonbury ❤️
Great observations! As far as her voice aging well, I don’t think this show is recent. I would’ve pegged it in the nineties. Anyone know when this is?
1998-1999 this show so I guess she would have been around 53-54 in her mid 70s now and her voice has understandably aged - love blondie always though!
Dont think she's ever been that impressive of a singer technically but personally really like her voice
Dear Beth I absolutely love your channel. I think you’re wonderful. Keep up the good work. Lottsa of Love and appreciation from the good ole U.S.A. Christian
Debbie is still gorgeous. Beth, you should also try some Annie Lennox, the Eurythmics.
Yes!!!!! Please do Annie!
She has an incredible voice
Can you do a reaction on Miley Cyrus singing Heart of glass.
Hehe.. grew up listening to Blondie as a teen.. 'Tide is High' is a song I heard on the bus ride everyday. A bus full of teens singing along.
Memories..
Also reminded me of another old song that we sang along to.. Hehe..
th-cam.com/video/sFacWGBJ_cs/w-d-xo.html
Yup cool is the right word for her!!:):)
Please make one of the song "Travessia", by Milton Nascimento
You should react to "2021 em uma música" from the channel "Inutilismo" it's a mashup from the most marking songs of 2021 (he kind of turn every music in a rock cover), and Lucas Sings and plays every instrument! He is very talented. i'm sure you will love it.
Debbie Harry was the Very First Woman To sing record Rap in Music the Song Rapture. Its stated that she was the Very First Artist to release Rap . but I've heard that somebody did it first can't recall who . she is much older singing this. And it sounds just great now as it did 44 years ago yes 44 years ago
Beth, please react a cover of Dan Vasc and Violet Orlandi. 2 amazing singers from Brazil.
Debbie Harry is definitely known to be a Great singer..
“Shayla/Union City Blue” from this same gig is a much better showcase for her voice.
Is your username after the blondie song
@@dominicaaaaa5547 lol yep 👍
@@bustergoldenrod good i like the curse of blondie album
@@bustergoldenrod think rules for living is my fav though
@@dominicaaaaa5547 it’s an underrated album for sure. Jimmy Destri wrote several of my fave Blondie songs including Rules For Living.
She was know as a singer at first the persona came later. I always thought voice always was electronic altered. But I love the song anyways.
She always had the “persona” (at least back to early appearances at CBGB etc). I think she just perfected it.
Would you be so kind as to react to John Farnham, please? Help, Beatles cover live.
Actually I'd have to say Debbie is a vocal stylist, in the way Sinatra was. Not a great singer necessarily, but good technique and good use of what God gave her. I wouldn't say she's necessarily a better singer than say Madonna, but there's a lot more depth and content there, and yeah more skill with her vocal instrument. Great reaction!
Can you early Grateful Dead with Jerry Garcia singing lead. Thanks.
Hopefully you cover the late singer Robert Palmer
He had quite the voice I ever heard
Much more up-tempo than the original 👍🏻
Try to react morissette amon and dave lamar wedding film by tree house story ft.#fromthesea
This rendition was a poor choice. You should have selected the original official video which is crisp audio and Debbie was 34 in 1979 at release. She was a goddess in that video. ♡
Can you please react to Robert Palmer song called Know by now
Please, pretty plz 🙏 ❤
I have good news to you Beth Morissette Amon And Dave Lamar are married
as a sound engineer, who did stage sound, he is probably behind that plastic to block audience apreciation, during songs, all the other members of the band will normaly have a small speaker in front of them with what member of the4 band they need to keep time not sound good.
Not a great voice but a great beauty for sure.
Try original video
She may not be able to. Often older material is more heavily copyritten as the primary market for reuse then was radio, and there was a system that dated to the 50s. MTV switched that up some, but songs from even 10 years ago are tough to react to. The system then just didn't consider the internet, or if it did it was in the context of say, Napster
All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire......Grace Slick.
Are you kidding me Beth? I think Debbie Harry's voice is almost as changed as my fav, Joni Mitchell's.
I guess I need to have my hearing checked...
2:30 🤭
She and her voice have aged well, yes she's not singing particularly high but it still sounds nice
This literally just appeared on my TH-cam thread. I don't usually comment on anyhing, however I had to write a wee anecdote that immediately came to me.
I worked as a Stage Manager for a number of years back in the early 80s to the late 90s.
I was very fortunate to work with many household names over that period.
I can honestly say, Debbie Harry was not only one of the best singers I saw live, but also one of the nicest people I had the pleasure of meeting.
Her voice during the sound check & her performance during Blondies set was absolutely phenomenal.
She had the crowd in the palm of her hand within 5 mins!!
Special mention for Clem Burke too, quite simply the best drummer I've ever seen on a stage!!!
To this day, every time I listen to Blondie or hear them or Harry on the radio, the memories come flooding back.
Debbie is a great singer
Blondie was is such a great band, Debbie was perfect, voice, attitude/ charisma, talent and of course looks. The drummer, Clem Burke, is one of the best ever, bar none. Great analysis Beth, I learned a lot today.
Saw them a few years ago, and all I have to say about Clem Burke is "how did I not know?".
Clem was a beast on drums!
1000%
I wonder, I'm even shocked, тhere are so many people who react to Blondie songs and none of them is "Maria". And "Maria" is one of her best songs, I would even say the greatest song. So I wonder - there was no one to finally react to this great song "Maria"!?
You know now that you bring it up. I have to admit, one of my favorites. Not just Blondie but any song by anyone! I first heard it here on Letterman. I went out and bought “No Exit”..a terrific CD.

She has transposed this down a whole step (?) from the original recording, very common as we age and can't get those higher notes we could when we were young whippersnappers.
If you pay atention, she transmit every instrument with her body. Specially the main guitar. Those short moves un the same mood as her voice.
And her way to keep timing with the melody. Like those short steps on that skipped beat of the song.
I thought of this before, Bowie does something like this, also Yukimi from Little dragon
Blondie had the first rap song video on mtv. Rapture, it was called.
So it was their fault!😆🤣
Deborah Harry and Blondie. Total icons. I've often found her voice kind of floaty, or maybe bubbly? Like soap bubbles on water? Does that make sense? Less substantial than others, but not in a bad way. I love it.
I happened to have listened to "Parallel Lines" about 5 times in the last 2 or 3 weeks, and I was paying attention to the plethora of vocal sounds she can make. Ostensibly Pop songs, the singing style over them certainly takes away from anything potentially plastic and hollow sounding. She's just gifted with a certain skull and enough influences to have learned how to use it!
she was a very underrated live singer
I remember when this album "Parallel Lines" came out in 1978. I was at a New Years party the last day that year. We all brought albums to play. I put on the album and one of the people at the party said "They will never be big". I responded your wrong they will be huge. The following Summer after this was released as a single it was the biggest song during the Summer. You heard it everywhere. I told him "Never big, eh"? Still love predicting it would be huge!
Deborah Harry can also be heard on an album by The Jazz Passengers "Individually Twisted" in the nineties. A far more jazzy setting.

Love this channel ; when are you getting Bruce to talk about career and to challenge him to a duel lol 😝
Been following your adventures on Roar, it's been so much fun watching your quests!
Beth, react to "2021 EM UMA MÚSICA - INUTILISMO". The guy sings and plays all the instruments in the songs.
I’m sure you will be great!
You have beautiful eyes 👀
Debbie Harry was fantastic singer at her peak. Could easily climb up from low notes to the highest. Sorry to say but this version doesn´t show how good she actually was. And yes she is an artist. A legend. But she is still performing with Blondie....how cool is that :)
I'd like to see you reacting to "Christina Aguilera - At Last Live in UK"
I was 14 when parallel lines came out. Debbie was /is beautiful but I always thought her voice was so unique and special.
Thanks for this react Beth ! great band , epic song , made my rest of the week better for sure ! keep up the good work and keep safe
I think she's only gotten better over the years. Of course her voice isn't as powerful as it was in the band's prime but her singing has gotten more expressive over time. I think it has more color than it used to and I think her phrasing is more hypnotic. I do adore her so.
First thing I noticed was how the phrasing has changed - Debbie's awesome and still sounds great
She still sounds great. Back in the 70's/80's on their albums she was incredible! Love "Blondie"!
one of the most stylish woman in history.
You’re so cute when you bop your head and feel the music
It would be interesting to get your perspective of the singing part of 'atomic' but over the years, you can hear the differences in her voice from the 70s up to today 😊, interesting to see what your thoughts are on the vocal changes and styles 😊
So funny - right before you mentioned the "shoulder dance" I started doing it myself, and I wasn't even looking at the screen at the time.
Long time fan of Blondie. Thank you!
One of my favorite singers, ever...thanks, Beth 😃
And leave it to Debbie to always look awesome in a pair of Candy's :-)
You missed something which is obvious for a guy who was a teenager when her career peaked. When I told my best buddy back then that I liked her (because her looks appealed to me) he frowned at me and said: "She's an idol among transvestites." Once I had heard her speaking voice (which also can be heard on your video) it made sense to me. She sings like a man who softens his voice to come across as feminine and tender. Only unlike these men she does that effortlessly, without visible ambition and almost bored.... Sooo coool *rofl*
Oh, the baffles around the drum kit are to protect the vocal mics from feedbacking. That the drums are on a riser further necessitates this. Earplugs are sufficient to protect against stage noise. If the drummer was wearing earplugs INSIDE those headphones, then it would have to be pretty loud, but how would he hear the sequencer track? It would have to be super loud, which negates the whole purpose. I've recorded tube amps on 10 to get a natural overdrive. Well, at 50 Watts, you can barely hear the backing tracks or the click track, and this is with sealed headphones. I had to be in another room and the click was still full blast. Things like that don't happen often, and those drums are the loudest thing on stage (he hits hard). With earplugs alone, and no baffles, they'd be fine.
I liked your comment about Debbie owning the stage and that she'd been perforning a long time. Not sure when this performance was, but at this point Blondie have been doing that song for over 40 years. They can probably all play it in their sleep. It's hard to know how much influence Blondie had on the music scene of the late '70s into the '80s and beyond. Debbie is still too cool for school! :)
1999 the year of the release of the single “Maria” and the album “ Final? Exit”
Shame this is an performance much later in her career ! In the late 70’s her voice was far superior to this . Loved this band , have all their albums 👍🏻
HELLO could you react to Red Rain by Peter Gabriel???? Such an amazing vocal performance
shes still got it
Love Blondie featuring Debbe Harry.
Dear Beth….. I love your voice! Very romantic. I’d like to hear you break down Alanis Morrisette’s vocals. You are also easy on my eyes. I think I’m falling in love❤️
Easy now Stalker 🤣🤣🤣
They put the drummer behind a shield to help maintain separation between the drum mics and other mics on the stage. Especially since this was being recorded, they didn't want bleed between the channels. Anyway, love your channel!
I love this song from my youth but I think I'm spoiled by Nightwish and Floor solo: She just seems fairly lightweight in terms of the available power she has. She sounds like cashes struggling to keep in the front of things but that could just be the mix on this live track.
Not as good as I remember the initial.
She is 76 years old ! She sounds Damn good
Blondie is the best! I have that show on DVD ☺️
i'm reminded of Rumi...."i am the wine glass; you are the rock "
I don't think Debbie would be considered one of the greatest singers technically, but there is something about her tone and delivery that is very compelling. Her beauty has certainly been part of her success and she is still a very attractive lady in her 70s although I'm not sure what the deal is with the messy hair.
I wonder why you haven't had a video of Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley yet. Another golden voice.
blondie was extremely pleasing on the eyes...her singing was ok...not the greatest vocalist...I could say debbie was like Marilyn Monroe
The last time I saw BLONDIE/DEBBIE IT WAS A DOUBLE HEADER WITH THE PRETENDERS/CHRISSIE INSANELY WONDERFUL AWESOME WICKEDLY
UNFORGETTABLE
NIGHT OF MUSIC
WHO EVER PUT THAT TOUR TOGETHER DESERVES A MEDAL FOR SERVICES TO HUMANITY AND MUSIC
Next reaction VOICE OF BACEPROT (killing in the name) live in rennes france🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥😍
Debbie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Eternamente!!!
Well that was a blast from my youth.
how would you react to the song late redemption by band angra? I love this song and I think you will too when you know it. by the way if possible listen to the whole album, because it is an incredible work.
Who owns the stage? Samantha Fish! th-cam.com/video/GL9rBAjut2g/w-d-xo.html
Cover of I Put A Spell on You. She turns it into something amazing.
I've heard really good singers who can crush Heart and Adele and the like try to do Blondie and.. fail, miserably. Her vocals are sneaky hard! Because to my ear, she is hitting these high notes with this floaty ease, warmth and piercing clarity, and those same vocal lines easily sound forced, shouty, and no longer fit the music. There's a lot of French chancon influence in Blondie and in her approach. That opening lick here, the chorus of Call Me, I don't know any other rock/pop singer that can achieve that quality of brightness, warmth and ease in their voice simultaneously like that! (Now I'm wondering what Bjork would sound like singing this.. probably amazing.. there'd be growls though, lol.)
Shawn Phillips "She was waiting for her mother at the station in Torino, and you know i love you but it's getting to heavy to laugh"
Debbie's voice and that slightly whiny, nasally, almost on the edge of "nails on a chalkboard" sound has always reminded me of another singer, Gwen Stefani. She does the same thing, sitting along that line of being just the right side of not too nasal and pitchy, which is incredibly pretty and actually technically quite difficult. Interesting that Gwen drew a lot of comparisons to Debbie in her early career, but less vocally, more because they were blonde American women, fronting rock bands in a very male dominated scene.
Watch Colin Haye. He’s amazing. First do his acoustic version of Down Under. Once you do that, his genius will spread. You will love it
Not known for being a good singer? Lmao. Easy to copy, huh. It's an original score as well. Not bad for no "vocal training." LORD girl.
