For polynesian boy back in the day her n david bowie blow my mind the tone n sound i never heard b4 we grew up on island traditional songs,reggae n country
I'm 64 years old, black healthy woman...I've listened to Annie Lennox for years!.....I love her......also listen to her other songs, Cold....Why....No More I Love You, Shader pale of WHITE.........to name a few. I still listen to her to this day, along with so many new, old artist.
I love Annie Lennox’s voice. Sweet Dreams, Here Comes the Rain Again, Winter Wonderland, Love Song for a Vampire, I Put A Spell on You. Beautiful voice.
There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart), Thorn In My Side, When Tomorrow Comes So many great Eurythmics tunes, arguably the finest syth-pop band of the 80s (which was the decade of synth-pop). Huge in the UK and Europe
In the 80's here in the UK we were blessed with two wonderful female voices that shared best female artist through the years at the Brit awards, the wonderful Annie Lennox and Alison Moyet. So pleased to see you reacting to Annie and would love to see you react to more and maybe take a look at Alison as well.
Ahhhh. When I was 10/11 in the early 80s, there was a college radio station in my town that had a dance program, and the DJ would play all the imports from England he got, like Yaz. Didn't I Bring Your Love Down and Situation were my jams, and none of my friends got it. Alison Moyet's voice is terrific.
I was about 8 or 9 when this song was released. I remember being a little freaked out by this video. But now, as an adult, I love this song and I love listening to Annie Lennox sing. She has an amazing voice!
I would have been roughly the same age then and Annie Lennox used to scare the hell out of me back then, you just didn’t see women with her style then. It was the cropped hair and the eye makeup she sometimes wore then that I couldn’t get my head around.
I remember when this song came out, so new and different! Another good song of them is “Here comes the rain again. One fun fact: Annie Lennox was traveling and due to her androgynous look, they didn’t believe her when they saw the passport stating she was, indeed, a female. They had to call a nurse to... “verify” her. It was another era. Another fun fact was that Annie Lennox sung Freddie Mercury’s part in “Under Pressure”, with David Bowie, at a concert to honor Freddie.
1984 I was in High School. I had never seen a woman who was so strikingly handsome. A female David Bowie. Oh and that beautiful Scottish voice. And Dave Stewart was a genius. This is still a banger. When you think of The Eurythmics... this is the song that first comes to mind. Everyone of my generation knows this band and knows this song.
The thing that makes this song for me is the dichotomy between the sterility of Dave's instrumentation, synths, drum machines and the warmth and humanity of Annie's voice.
Definitely a signature song of the 1980's. I was a sophomore in high school when this song debuted. Annie Lennox really blew us away with her look and her voice, wow! Also check out "Love Is a Stranger", "Here Comes the Rain Again", "Would I Lie to You?", and "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" (with Aretha Franklin).
YEAH!!! Eurythmics!!! Fantastic band!!!! Love every album they do, please do more reactions from them!!! Who's That Girl, Here Comes The Rain Again, Missionary Man, Would I Lie To You, Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves, When Tomorrow Comes, Savage, Shame, Don't Ask Me Why, You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart, I need A Man, I Saved The World Today, The Miracle Of Love, Thorn In My Side... So many gold in their albums...
Fun fact: this recording is a mastered version of the original demo tape recorded in a hotel room. They simply weren't able to record a version to surpass the first version. Many old school musicians know the dilemma: there was something special about the demo which can't be easily translated to the studio version. The most feared criticism from my analog days were "I liked the demo better" and I got that a lot. A lot!
Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart both started in the band The Tourists who's best known hit was I Only Want To Be With You (a cover of the 1960's Dusty Springfield hit) but their talent was much greater than the other band members so they parted and formed the Eurythmics and the rest is history. Annie's voice and Dave production and musical talent took them to the top and they've been there ever since. Also if you read this India The O'Jays ,Ship Ahoy needs listening to, it's a soul classic from the 1970's
Annie Lennox was in a movie called Revolution, with Al Pacino, in which I also appeared as an extra. I had no idea she was so tiny, around 5'2", as she has such a big personality, I always assumed she was quite tall!
Years ago I seen Annie Lennox on a TV show. She picked up a guitar and started singing. You would think she needs a lot of auto tune. But she sounds as good in person as she does on the radio. She can hit those notes.
So glad I grew up with an appreciation for all music. I was in the UK when I fell in love with the Eurythmics. Ms Lennox is classically trained as well.
Annie Lennox and David Bowie's live cover of Under Pressure (sung with Queen playing during Freddie Mercury's memorial concert) is phenomenally good and recommended to everyone
In 1983 when this came out I was 16... I remember watching it and loving her hair and her voice... I like their songs Love is a Stranger and Here Comes the Rain Again as well... I like many of their songs... India your hair always looks amazing...
i still remember the first time i saw this video on MTV back in '83. for those born after please keep in mind that no one had seen anyone quite like Annie Lennox on tv before this. a white woman who looked like a man and sang like Aretha Franklin. her whole delivery was just mind blowing. and this is before anyone had ever heard of Madonna, Cyndi, Janet, Whitney, and Mariah. and the music was quite futuristic for the time. as a teenager i was instantly hooked and thought she was the coolest woman i'd ever seen.
I've been listening to and analyzing this song my entire life (born in 83) and it'll always be one of my most favorite songs (LOVED MM version just as much).
In the 80s when Madonna reigned, no one knew what to do with these two when they popped up. I think they shook up the music industry some, but fans got to loving them because they were truly talented. She's an amazing vocalist.
You've discovered one of the best voices ever! I'm gonna enjoy your Eurythmics and Annie Lennox journey. I could give ya some recommendations but this was their 1st vid so I'd just go forward from here and see their progression and why Annie became a Legend!
I'm old enough to remember when this came out. It was a big deal because back then, MTV was just starting to get lots of creative videos, and this was at the cusp of when videos were artsy. The song is simple, but it's the music arrangement that pulls you in.
Annie Lennox is the embodiment of a true artist. Check out her solo stuff. Start with her song “Why”...it’ll give you all the feels. And all the respect for her talent.
Her duet with David Bowie at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert, doing "Under Pressure," is phenomenal. I don't think anyone else could have done the Freddie part justice at the time. Worth a listen.
Sign in a deli: Sweet dreams are made of cheese, who am I to diss a brie, travel the world for the cheddar cheese, everybody's lookin for stelton. Sigh, the song was never the same.
Listening to all their albums on tape! for years. Annie Lennox has a magnificent voice. Listen to her later solo stuff. It's awesome. And album for movie '1984'. 😁💕
One of my fav concerts in 1986 Wellington New Zealand John Farnham as special appearance. Love love love Eurythmics. Keep up the good work. Love them being a 65 child.
You're either really young or incredibly sheltered, because this song is absolutely legendary and iconic. It's for sure one of THE biggest hits out of the 1980's decade. To not know this one should be a crime! I grew up listening to it on vinyl back when it was new actually. Such an amazing, mind-blowing song back then!
Love this song. So fun to see you react to this. This was the first music video I ever saw. Back before we had MTV and I'd wake up at the crack of dawn on Saturday mornings to watch an hour of music videos on TV.
Dave Stewart (Founding member/the Keyboard) has described this as a Blues Song!! He's said it's a very depressing song at its heart. It's still a brilliant tune!!!!
I was eleven years old when this came out and I still love it! They did the song “It Must’ve Been Love” for the move Pretty Woman! Annie Lennox went solo and has several awesome songs!
I was a teenager in the 80s and feel so blessed! This song was incredible when it came out and still is. I still get chills today after hearing it a million times over the years.
Hello India ! Great reaction ! Please do more Eurythmics reaction ! Like many before have said, I think you should react to "Here comes the rain again" and "There must be an angel (playing with my heart)", two of their all-time classics. Eurythmics is a HUGE band of the 80s. Annie Lennox is kind of the female version of David Bowie, redefining in her own way the gender identity. Actually this song was banned from several english radios back then because they thought that Annie was a man and they refused to play a song that had a video with a person with a controversial look in it.
oh wow! you opened a whole world of music if you dip into the back catalog of the eurythmics! their songs speak of all emotions from self hate to true love! hope you explore their music further and enjoy it as much as i have over the years! if i may? i suggest starting with " miracle of love " and " right by your side " . big love to all people :D
Great reaction. Not everyone hears this song the same way. It's a motivational song for me. I listened to it to calm myself down before a big job interview. I went in there calm, cool, and collected, with no fear. I didnt get the job but not because I wasn't my best. And I wasn't disappointed. Hey, sweet dreams are made of this. Who am I to disagree?
Eurythmics is the UK duo of Annie Lennox (from Scotland) and Dave Stewart (from across the border in England). Both of them started out in a Pop Rock group named The Tourists in 1977. When the band broke up in 1980, Lennox and Stewart decided to stay together to form Eurythmics. Eurythmics recorded and toured together from 1980 to 1990, when they decided to embark on solo careers. They returned to the studio to record a charity album, entitled "Peace", in 1999. In 2005, they recorded some songs to be included as bonus tracks for a re-release of all of their 1980s albums/CDs. Eurythmics made A LOT of music videos for their songs. When I first watched this music video in January, 1983, on MTV, it shocked the hell out of me. I thought to myself, "Oh my God! This is SATAN himself!!!" The music was a lot like that of the German techno-Pop group, Kraftwerk, which I loved. I bought the "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" audiocassette, and I have been a Eurythmics/Annie Lennox fan ever since. If you want to watch a Eurythmics video with a danceable groove to it, react to the music video for "Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)" (from their album, "1984 (For The Love Of Big Brother)" album, which was songs and instrumentals made for the soundtrack for the 1984 remake of the film, "1984").
Classically trained at Royal Academy. That's why - technically, she is so good; breathing, diction, intonation, etc. That's one helluva, professionally trained voice.
Love strong female voices..Annie Lennox, Tracy Chapman, Ann Wilson..and for me the best vocalist in the World our metal queen Floor Jansen.. Man I love this..thanx
The first time I heard of these two was when they were at the core of a band called The Tourists. They visited my country in 1980 on the back of their cover of the Dusty Springfield song "I only want to be with you" becoming a hit.
Greetings, to a King. When you say "my country", with a name that begins with King, I get the impression that you have a Kingdom. I'm interested in finding out more about this. I am decended from Kings, also. How do you approach this current global situation?
Can't even describe how new and original this sound was when it first came out.
The golden age of New Wave and MTV was just beginning! Loved it then and I still do. 🙂
Loved this!
Yes Indeed
Oh my goodness yes! LOVED the Eurythmics - still do :D
And the look was...well not entirely new but she made it hers.
' Here Comes the Rain ' by The Eurythmics is beautifully haunting.
My favorite song by Eurythmics.
Yes ^^^^this^^^^
Annie Lennox is fire. Anything she sings is amazing. I love this song but it doesn’t showcase her pipes. I recommend you listen to more of her. 🤩
There Must Be an Angel or Little Bird.
I saved the World today...
Also 'Why' and 'Broken Glass', not to mention her amazing cover of 'I Put a Spell on You'.
" *Into The West* "
For polynesian boy back in the day her n david bowie blow my mind the tone n sound i never heard b4 we grew up on island traditional songs,reggae n country
I can't believe nobody has mentioned "There must be an angel" - the most incredible voice 11/10
And Stevie Wonder on harmonica.
I just did
Yeah! That song is awesome.
Yessssss!!!!!
Was Annie a drummer in Spinal Tap?
Annie Lennox has one of the most recognizable and purest voices. Check out "No More I Love You's" or "Walking On Broken Glass"
"Walking on Broken Glass" would be great for you to review. The music video version.
Walking on Broken glass is phenomenal
She’s one of the greatest voices today. All of their songs and her solo work are amazing. Enjoy!!!
Love is a Stranger is my favorite song on this debut album.
It's my favorite also
Absolutely my favorite as well 💖
Favorite video as well
mine too
And the video is a MUST
I'm 64 years old, black healthy woman...I've listened to Annie Lennox for years!.....I love her......also listen to her other songs, Cold....Why....No More I Love You, Shader pale of WHITE.........to name a few. I still listen to her to this day, along with so many new, old artist.
SORRY FOR THE ERROR ........WHITER SHADE OF PALE
Annie sang, "Into the West", in Lord of the Rings. Nice voice.
I think "Here Comes The Rain" is my favourite Eurythmics song.
Would I Lie To You is pretty cool too
@@waynestumbo2408 I personally prefer their early synth/electro sound. It contrasts beautifully with Annie Lennox's warm voice.
Mine is “No Fear, No Hate, No Pain, No Broken Hearts”. The whole “Touch” album is amazing.
I've had the privilege of seeing the Eurythmucs twice! Annie Lennox is amazing!
She has an awesome voice and is a humanitarian..love her..
I love Annie Lennox’s voice. Sweet Dreams, Here Comes the Rain Again, Winter Wonderland, Love Song for a Vampire, I Put A Spell on You. Beautiful voice.
Besides her amazing singing. She is fun to hangout with. Great woman.
There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart), Thorn In My Side, When Tomorrow Comes
So many great Eurythmics tunes, arguably the finest syth-pop band of the 80s (which was the decade of synth-pop). Huge in the UK and Europe
And what about ‘You placed a chill in my heart’?
In the 80's here in the UK we were blessed with two wonderful female voices that shared best female artist through the years at the Brit awards, the wonderful Annie Lennox and Alison Moyet. So pleased to see you reacting to Annie and would love to see you react to more and maybe take a look at Alison as well.

Her song “who’s that girl?” I think we can all relate to that one at some part in our lives- ❤️💛💟☮️✌️
Oh I love that one too!
Missionary Man by the Euruthmics is one to check out...
yep
I agree. Missionary Man is probably my favorite tune of theirs
And a great video too
Not herd that one
I was about 8 or 9 when this song was released. I remember being a little freaked out by this video. But now, as an adult, I love this song and I love listening to Annie Lennox sing. She has an amazing voice!
I would have been roughly the same age then and Annie Lennox used to scare the hell out of me back then, you just didn’t see women with her style then. It was the cropped hair and the eye makeup she sometimes wore then that I couldn’t get my head around.
Smoky eye shadow very eighties.
I’m liking the hair in this clip, India and Annie both.
Always look forward to see what India will do with her hair next.
She's a badass and I love her, listen to walking on broken glass, it's fenomenal.
This song came out in 1983. You mentioned 1993- that was when Marilyn Manson did his cover of their song. :)
@ᛏᛟᚱᛋᛏᛖᚾ ᚺᚨᚴᛟᚾᛋᛟᚾ So Manson came out in 95?
@ᛏᛟᚱᛋᛏᛖᚾ ᚺᚨᚴᛟᚾᛋᛟᚾ Actually Manson performed the song as early as 1994
Love the Manson version as well! Ha!
Manson's version came out on his 2nd album that came out I think in 95' "smells like children" Love the passion he put into it!
I remember when this song came out, so new and different!
Another good song of them is “Here comes the rain again.
One fun fact: Annie Lennox was traveling and due to her androgynous look, they didn’t believe her when they saw the passport stating she was, indeed, a female. They had to call a nurse to... “verify” her. It was another era.
Another fun fact was that Annie Lennox sung Freddie Mercury’s part in “Under Pressure”, with David Bowie, at a concert to honor Freddie.
“Here comes the rain again falling on my head like a tragedy”
i always loved Annie Lennox. i think she is one of the best singers that ever sang. and one of the most beautiful woman ever.🥰
Because I don't see them mentioned anywhere, Who's That Girl, and Would I Lie To You. Great songs.
Would I lie to you and Missionary man. Awesome stuff by this Scottish Songtress.
"Who am I to disagree?" a message a lot of people should reflect on.Let people have their dreams, don't tear them down.
Everytime I hear this song I think about Prom 1984! Great memories.
Loved this song from the day it came out. One of my favourites.
This song was iconic at the time it came out.
She has such a unique, incredible voice. Great song ❤

Love this song, I was an 80s child and miss that music so much.
“Some of them want to use you...someone of them want to abuse you”!
Definitely a signature song of the 1980's. I was a sophomore in high school when this song debuted. Annie Lennox really blew us away with her look and her voice, wow! Also check out "Love Is a Stranger", "Here Comes the Rain Again", "Would I Lie to You?", and "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" (with Aretha Franklin).

It is just incredible!
No autotune... no lip syncing... just pure voice, skill, talent, & beauty.
You really need to hear all her music as well as her humanitarian work.
she is amazing!

Annie Lennox was and still is stunningly beautiful. I love that she was so different when I first saw her and heard her sing.
Love Is A Stranger by Eurythmics. On the B side of this one.
Yes
i still remember the first time i saw this video on MTV back in '83. for those born after please keep in mind that no one had seen anyone quite like Annie Lennox on tv before this. a white woman who looked like a man and sang like Aretha Franklin. her whole delivery was just mind blowing. and this is before anyone had ever heard of Madonna, Cyndi, Janet, Whitney, and Mariah. and the music was quite futuristic for the time. as a teenager i was instantly hooked and thought she was the coolest woman i'd ever seen.

Love love love Eurythmics! All songs!! Then onto Annie...a real music journey! ❤️
Annie Lennox is the embodiment of a true artist. Check out her solo stuff. Start with her song “Why”...it’ll give you all the feels. And all the respect for her talent.
Love the eurythmics. So glad your reacting to them
Heard this as a kid when it came out and changed my world. To this day it sends me shivers.
One of my favs by them. Angelic vocals. Listen to her sing I Put A Spell On You cover. Goosebumps when Annie sings.
Eurythmics "The Miracle Of Love"
Her duet with David Bowie at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert, doing "Under Pressure," is phenomenal. I don't think anyone else could have done the Freddie part justice at the time. Worth a listen.
Sign in a deli: Sweet dreams are made of cheese, who am I to diss a brie, travel the world for the cheddar cheese, everybody's lookin for stelton. Sigh, the song was never the same.
Listening to all their albums on tape! for years. Annie Lennox has a magnificent voice. Listen to her later solo stuff. It's awesome. And album for movie '1984'. 😁💕
LEGENDARY GROUP / LEGENDARY QUEEN ANNIE LENNOX *SCOTLAND / BIG RESPECT
One of my fav concerts in 1986 Wellington New Zealand John Farnham as special appearance. Love love love Eurythmics. Keep up the good work. Love them being a 65 child.
Annie is fierce! Love her so much. Great job on this channel India.
I loved this THE SECOND I heard it when it came out! Annie Lennox is AMAZING!
And I love a kick a$$ bassline.
Unique song, recognizable anywhere, anytime in its first chord 😍
Hello! Oh wooow, I love this song. Thanks for your reaction. Love and Light!
This is my mums favourite band. Thankful I grew up listening to the Legend that is Annie Lennox. Always reminds me of mum.
You're either really young or incredibly sheltered, because this song is absolutely legendary and iconic. It's for sure one of THE biggest hits out of the 1980's decade. To not know this one should be a crime! I grew up listening to it on vinyl back when it was new actually. Such an amazing, mind-blowing song back then!
Music video shows and traditional TV aren't relevant anymore, so the next generation is gonna discover everything on TH-cam, Spotify etc.
You should check out walking on broken glass my Annie Linux
ABSOLUTELY! The whole DIVA album! :)
Annie Lennox you spelled it wrong! 😁
@@mzpinkeyez407 You beat me.
@@tanyadebeer4836 like they say you snooze you lose!! 🤘🏻🤣🤣
That video is extra cool when you realize both John Malkovich and Hugh Laurie are in it.
This song is timeless!
Missionary Man..That song blew my young mind. I LOVE it even more now that I understand it.
Love this song. So fun to see you react to this. This was the first music video I ever saw. Back before we had MTV and I'd wake up at the crack of dawn on Saturday mornings to watch an hour of music videos on TV.
Omg the first time I heard this song I got in my car went to town and bought the album lol, been In love with her music every since...♡
Dave Stewart (Founding member/the Keyboard) has described this as a Blues Song!! He's said it's a very depressing song at its heart. It's still a brilliant tune!!!!
Love this band! Annie Lennox has such a fantastic voice. Love Is A Stranger is my personal favorite of theirs.
her eyes.......
One of my favourite powerhouse vocalists of my childhood.
She looked and sounded so different in the 80s loved her
Glorious voice and an amazing 1st song for them! They made some epic music - enjoy!
Love is a stranger. And here comes the rain again. You must not miss those two.
I was eleven years old when this came out and I still love it! They did the song “It Must’ve Been Love” for the move Pretty Woman! Annie Lennox went solo and has several awesome songs!
I was a teenager in the 80s and feel so blessed! This song was incredible when it came out and still is. I still get chills today after hearing it a million times over the years.
She has one of the BEST voices !
Annie Lennox was massive in the 80s and early 90s..There is so much stuff of hers to enjoy.
It was popular when it first came out.... when I was young. Glad that you finally get to hear it.
Hello India ! Great reaction ! Please do more Eurythmics reaction ! Like many before have said, I think you should react to "Here comes the rain again" and "There must be an angel (playing with my heart)", two of their all-time classics. Eurythmics is a HUGE band of the 80s. Annie Lennox is kind of the female version of David Bowie, redefining in her own way the gender identity. Actually this song was banned from several english radios back then because they thought that Annie was a man and they refused to play a song that had a video with a person with a controversial look in it.
oh wow! you opened a whole world of music if you dip into the back catalog of the eurythmics! their songs speak of all emotions from self hate to true love! hope you explore their music further and enjoy it as much as i have over the years! if i may? i suggest starting with " miracle of love " and " right by your side " . big love to all people :D
Great reaction. Not everyone hears this song the same way. It's a motivational song for me. I listened to it to calm myself down before a big job interview. I went in there calm, cool, and collected, with no fear. I didnt get the job but not because I wasn't my best. And I wasn't disappointed. Hey, sweet dreams are made of this. Who am I to disagree?
To me, Annie's voice always sounds like immense power restrained under complete control!
Eurythmics is the UK duo of Annie Lennox (from Scotland) and Dave Stewart (from across the border in England). Both of them started out in a Pop Rock group named The Tourists in 1977. When the band broke up in 1980, Lennox and Stewart decided to stay together to form Eurythmics. Eurythmics recorded and toured together from 1980 to 1990, when they decided to embark on solo careers. They returned to the studio to record a charity album, entitled "Peace", in 1999. In 2005, they recorded some songs to be included as bonus tracks for a re-release of all of their 1980s albums/CDs. Eurythmics made A LOT of music videos for their songs.
When I first watched this music video in January, 1983, on MTV, it shocked the hell out of me. I thought to myself, "Oh my God! This is SATAN himself!!!" The music was a lot like that of the German techno-Pop group, Kraftwerk, which I loved. I bought the "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" audiocassette, and I have been a Eurythmics/Annie Lennox fan ever since. If you want to watch a Eurythmics video with a danceable groove to it, react to the music video for "Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)" (from their album, "1984 (For The Love Of Big Brother)" album, which was songs and instrumentals made for the soundtrack for the 1984 remake of the film, "1984").

Love strong female voices..Annie Lennox, Tracy Chapman, Ann Wilson..and for me the best vocalist in the World our metal queen Floor Jansen.. Man I love this..thanx
Love her voice! They have made so many great songs. My favorit is the miracle of love
Love love love!!!!! One of my ultimate favorites. 💯
The first time I heard of these two was when they were at the core of a band called The Tourists. They visited my country in 1980 on the back of their cover of the Dusty Springfield song "I only want to be with you" becoming a hit.
Greetings, to a King.
When you say "my country", with a name that begins with King, I get the impression that you have a Kingdom. I'm interested in finding out more about this.
I am decended from Kings, also. How do you approach this current global situation?
I’m glad we were both kings n whatnot. I approach things thus: we’re screwed smoke em if you got em.
Love it! Also love Here Comes the Rain Again and Would I Lie to You? Great Songs!!
Annie Lennox! Love her voice. Would listen to her greatest hits getting ready to go out as a teen.
Saw Annie perform “Why” at Live 8 in London... not one dry eye in the park!
