Wow, it’s rare to see foreigners react to French musics... I also love that song. Listening when I was a kid and didn’t understand what is what about lol
If you are amazed by "California", you will fall in love with her clips "Libertine" and "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces" which made her famous ! For hardcore sensation, you can look at "Je te rends ton amour", one of the most provocative and scandalous clip from her.
That one is the quintessentional Mylène clip. Je te rends ton amour musically and visually is incredibly stunning, that electric guitar storm in the last chorus always gives me the strongest goosebumps a song has ever been able to give me.
Don't forget too : BEYOND MY CONTROL in May 1992 (4th and last single, remixed for single release and better than album version), censored and scandalous video (Mylène burns on a pyre cuz a destructive passion for a belligerent who cheats on her with a blonde woman) , broadcast title late at night on M6 TV Channel which will refuse to broadcast it in the daytime except CANAL + and MCM . We hear a sample of John Malkovich's voice taken from Dangerous Liaisons movie (1988) in the song. Very interesting!
Merci Dereck pour tes réactions sur Mylène. C'est intéressant de voir les réactions de quelqu'un sans préjugés ! Pas toujours le cas en France... Certains journalistes prennent un ton condescendant quand ils parlent de Mylène : très agaçant. J'espere que tu prends du plaisir à découvrir l'univers fascinant de cette grande artiste 😉
Bizarrement plus trop avec les années et le fait qu'elle se soit embourgeoisée et qu'elle montre un peu plus de sa sensibilité et de sa vie privée. Les journalistes là voient plutôt comme une inspiration pour les nouvelles générations de chanteuses. Elle est passée au statut d'icône pop, véritablement.
Hi Dereck ! I think that like us in France ( by the way Russians love her for such reasons.. Maybe Tristana music video is initially the reason ) you're becoming a huge fan of Mylène. Her whole discography is a master piece of the worldwide music industry.
Oui et on commence aussi à parler de lui en France, de ses videos dans des articles internet, voir sur Google "Dereck reacts". Il va finir par devenir "addict" à Mylène! C'est bon signe lol
@Fantoma et @Estelle Tranny Prière de regler vos comptes ailleurs qu'ici mon commentaire n'avait pas vocation à debats stériles. Arrêtez de contribuer à l'incivilité sur internet. Vous n'etes pas d'accord, un dislike ou passez à autre chose. Merci

Dear Dereck! Your reaction is so super, thank you so much! I love this song and video so much. Mylène Farmer my favorite singer 😍😍😍 She is very talented artist and very interesting person, unique and special!
j ai adoré Mylene Farmer et surtout cette chanson !!! Merci à toi Dereck de me la refaire découvrir car cela faisait longtemps que je l avais pas entendu !!!
The whole "Anamorphosée" album is astonishing and worth exploring. The other singles are "XXL", "L'instant X", "Comme j'ai mal" and "Rêver". Both the uptempo, grungy "XXL" and the ballad "Rêver" have been part of her live shows on a regular basis. "Rêver" is like Mylene's version of Lennon's "Imagine".
hi Dereck !! Super! i love your videos about Mylène's music .I wait for them like a child is waiting is gift... ! Thanks for reacting more and more about her music and songs. You should look at the clip ''L'âme Stram Gram'' , which is very very wonderful !! In fact , there are so many Mylène's songs and videos i'd like advicing you because she's fantatsic and i'm a fan of her since i'm 7 (and i'm 33 now)!! ''Pourvu qu'elles soient douces'', ''Libertine'' and ''Je te rends ton amour'' (which was censured) are exceptionals too. I suscribed your channel only to see your reactions about her music, and i love when i see a notification of your channel !! 🙏🙏😍💖👍
@@rowenn1729 Yes and after Tristana, Sans Contrefaçon, Ainsi Soit Je... ( VIDEO, not LIVE!) Sans Logique, A Quoi Je Sers...., he'll know the dark universe of Mylène from her beginnings to" L'autre" in 1991 before the return of a new Mylène, different, less dark, less tortured. and beggining of the influence of Buddhism in the work and life of Mylène after reading a book by Paul Coehlo (The Alchemist) and a meeting with an author Sogyal Rinpoché.
She's a true actress. It's her first "school". And she's Incredible with horses, you can see all of this in "Libertine" and "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces".
I'm really enjoying all of your reactions to Mylène Farmer videos! It reminds me of my first experience of discovering her work and becoming a fan, where I fell in love with her music before I even knew what she or her videos looked like. After watching those, she became one of my all-time favorite artists. I live in the United States, and I wish more people here knew about her (and Laurent Boutonnat's) incredible work. P.S. "Anamorphosée" (1995) is definitely her rock album and might be my favorite, with "Vertige", "XXL", and "L'Instant X" as highlights. Also, Giancarlo Esposito is now undoubtedly best known for playing "Gus Fring" in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, so he's doing well!
En France, le clip était interdit de télévision mais les français pouvaient acheter le clip en cassette VHS / In France, the video clip was banned from television but the French could buy the video clip on VHS tape
8:37 *CLASSICAL MYLÈNE* ! You really need to check classical Mylène ! You can't be Interessed by Mylène without knowing How she was in her classical périod. The périod that revealled her in the music World. By classical Mylène, i mean her late 80's vidéo, especially Libertine and Pourvu qu'elles soient douces. If she was famous at The Time, this IS because of her 80's music vidéo. And i Can tell you that you're not ready at all!
When it comes to rock Mylène, you should check out "Vertige (live 96)". It's the opening song of her Tour 96. The entrance itself is not that impressive (though it was at the time) but the song... Gosh, so rock!!!
Wowww Derek this reaction is amazing! It's thrilling to see you enjoy it that much yet so expected as this song is a killer!! If you love 90's mylene please react to "QUE MON CŒUR LÂCHE"!!! It's a must! the video is insane and the sound is bouahhhh. Watch it!! 😉
Je vous suis depuis la première vidéo que vous avez fait de Mylène farmer parce que je suis une grande fan et j'adore vos réactions cela me donne des frissons j'ai l'impression de le vivre en même temps que vous malgré que je les ai vu des centaines de fois. Merci 🤲👏
I´ve seen several of your videos Dereck so far but now is the time to subscribe. You feel music like I seldom see in other people and that´s beautiful. My first reaction to hearing California around 2009 was just like yours. I was completely blown away and still after so many years I get goosebumps on hearing it. It is a musical masterpiece and the best thing about it is it sounds so easy and casual like the last thing Myléne was trying to impress someone. There´s so much depth and melancholy in it that it almost hurts, though in a good way.
What you make me think about this song (that is one of my favourite) is that the 2 Mylène have one point in commun: they are boring of her life and they are not free. The both are stuck with a bossy man putting the pressure on her. And I think when the rich Mylène saw the Mylène prostitue she realize that their life were similar (unhappy, boring, under pressure). When the prostitue Mylène was killed because she tried to rebel against the man, the rich Mylène tries to avenge, to rebel and to free oneself from this domination.
Oh my god Dereck thank you, it feels so good to see someone like you reacting to Mylène ! What's great is that you have a whole universe to discover, it's phenomenal ! I love your videos on Mylène Farmer !!! 💕
I had an awful day, but you reacting to California made it ok again, so thanks! Check out XXL for Rock Mylene! And Je te rends ton amour is a MUST ! Can't waiy for next thursday 😉
First of all I am happy that you reacted to it, I was one of the ppl who suggested it. The sultry California is a kick-off song to her 1995 album Anamorphosée, which she recorded in Los Angeles. This is my favorite Mylene album because it sounds drastically different from the rest of her albums. It has a lot of American rock influences, with the organic sounds of electric guitars, bass, electronic organs, the heavy beats, etc. - which is why the album does not sound dated... and California is the finest example of that! It is one of my favorite Mylene's songs... it is also obvious that she likes it too as she performs it on almost every tour! A couple factors played into why she temporarily relocated to the USA....1) her mega success after 1991 album L'Autre (from which Desenchantee is a huge hit) and 2) her flop 1993 movie Giorgino. Staying in France after such a turbulence was too much for her! Her long time collaborator Laurent Boutonnat must totally be credited as he is the one mostly responsible for the melodies and the arrangement. California is the best song on the album, but there are others that have a more hard rock feel to them.... Vertige, L'Instant X and XXL. Rever is a rock ballad that is another iconic song that she performs on every tour!
thank you for your videos. It's nice to see that Mylène Farmer is appreciated by English speakers😉😉. Thank you for your sharp analyzes. Good continuation. A French fan of Mylène 😁.
Once again liked the video before watching 🙂 love this video of Mylene, my faves are "Je te rends ton amour" and "Fuck Them All", IDK if you can find the "je te rends ton amour" on youtube, but it's freakin iconic 💕 thanks for making these Mylene videos, youtube got better 4 me coz of that
Mylène is the Elvis Presley for her beauty, her presence, the Mickael Jackson for the clips and the choreography, and the Madonna to fill the concerts. If only the French could recognize, as you do, Mylène's talent. She is more loved and respected in Russia. I hope she's got it in America now thanks to you, Dereck. thank you so much
Mylène is magical! There's a lot of MV's you should react to. I'm thinking of "Libertine", "Pourvu qu'elle soient douces", "Sans contrefaçon", "Désenchantée", "L'instant X", "XXL", "Je te rends ton amour", "l'âme stram-gram", "C'est une belle journée", "Dégéneration", "Oui...mais non!" and so much more! it's delighful
My favorite song of MYLENE FARMER... I don't know this lovely dereck but it's fun he's interested by French music ( of 80's) A good curiosity like Brian Velez has.
^^^ Thank you Derek... See why her fanbase is so strong... once you discover those sounds and universe, there's no turning back! Thank you for this video... Can't wait for your video on "Libertine" and "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces !", if I may recommend (completely agree with previous comments)..... Cheers!
« California » is my favorite song ever of Mylène! Everything is so good in this track, from the music, the lyrics, the movie... so sensual, sexy and bewitching in a way!
I've seen some of your reactions on Mylene, Derek, thanks for taking the time to do this... really enjoying this! I was in the Bercy concert in 2006 and yes it is a cinematic magical experience that transfers you to a different world. Check out "Degeneration" and "Fuck them all" , would love to see a reaction on it! Thanks again!
It’s one of my favorite songs from his 90’s period... The music video is incredible, the music beautiful, nothing to complain about. Thx to react to this incredible song
The fact that Mylène Farmer called on Abel Ferrara for a video clip could not be more natural. Ferrara has an artistic universe which could not but attract her. It's characteristic of someone who is curious and wishes to confront an experience which Mylène knew that this meeting could only be artistically and humanly rich. She was not mistaken. It's hard to explain to you in detail who Ferrara is...
@Fantoma Il a été prouvé que la MECHANCETE est la caractéristique principale des gens souffrant d'UN SENTIMENT D'INFERIORITE (FANTOMA) se sentant obligées de salir et d'écraser toutes les personnes pouvant potentiellement paraître plus brillantes à leurs yeux! TOUT EST DIT!
@Fantoma Tu es bête surtout! Même Benoît et d'autres personnes ici te demandent de la fermer et tu agaces tout le monde à émettre sans arrêt ta méchanceté en écrasant les gens dans tes propos quand une chanson ou un live ne te plaît pas! Faut accepter le goût des gens que ça te chante ou non! Ils ont le droit de proposer leurs suggestions à Dereck ou leurs propres avis que tu "casses" à chaque fois, t'as que ça à faire dans ta vie si morne et pathétique! Au tout début, je t'ai vite cernée, je en me suis pas trompée sur ton compte. Trop imbue de ta personne, tu sais toujours tout sur tout, ce qui est bien pas bien, l'avis des autres t'importe! Chacun a ses goûts ses choix et le fait savoir! Alors boucle la!
@@benoitdurant7919 Oui tu vois qu'elle n'a pas d'âme! Elle dit qu'elle ne casse pas quand elle dit qu'on a (attention à ses propos!) "des goûts de chiottes", les siens sont pas mieux! Dans ce qu'elle écrit tout est CONTRADICTOIRE entre ce qu'elle nous répond et ce qu'elle dit aux autres personnes! On a NULLEMENT le droit pour ELLE d'émettre des suggestions qui ne lui plaisent pas (donc n'accepte pas ce que propose AUTRUI puisque NOUS pour ELLE nous sommes que des OBJETS de la "non représentation humaine"). Elle est trop imbue vu qu'elle a TOUJOURS raison (ne se remet NULLEMENT en question contrairement à d'autres individus lambdas), donc si ça c'est pas de l'arrogance, d'un sentiment de "supériorité" (en fait le contraire!), on écrase les gens par les propos en nous faisant comprendre qu'on des "M", mais NON nous au fond nous sommes bien mieux qu'elles car nous sommes FIERS de ne pas être ELLE! Elle a trop BESOIN de NOUS pour exister car les personnes de son acabit ont besoin d'AUTRUI pour exister sinon ils ne sont rien donc ce que j'ai mis prouve bien la personne qu'elle est! Que de la façade, à l'intérieur le NEANT niveau sentiment! POOR LITTLE GIRL!
Oh Derek! When you said "it makes me think of Basic Instinct, the movie" I was like "you don't even know the end of the MV, how do you know???" So glad that you decided to listen to that song, her album Anamorphose is considered her best album by the critics, the fact that she spent months in California helped her create new songs, more rock on sound level (L'instant X, XXL are proof of that). I'm joining other comments, if you can find the MV of "Je te rends ton amour" uncensored (at the time it was censored by channels, with only a broadcast between midnight and 5am so she decided to sell VHS of the MV and the funds were donated to AIDS charity), you will bluffed as well (and guess what, drums!!! right in the intro ;) ) Have a great day
You should look at the clip to Je te rends ton amour 😍😍😍 and if you want some rock then look her 96 concert: the song XXL and the entrance with the song Vertige 🤟🤟🤟
I love how you're barely paying attention to the music video because you're so into the music 😂😂😂 It's one of my favorite songs of her so I understand!
This track is REALLY cool, tha pads are gorgeous and THE BASS! The bass is held by no other than Abe Laboriel, best bassist in the world and a very beautiful human
I'm going to wait for the subtitles to better comment on what you're saying, I'm having a hard time following. But in any case, I can tell you that I always look forward to your reactions on MF. And this song always does something to me, makes me wanna move sensually by closing my eyes. For the producer, at first he didn't want to do a music video for MF, but when she wants something, she gets it and Mylène paid the price and the result is magnificent. But I agree with another comment. You absolutely have to watch the long versions of Libertine then of Pourvu Qu'elles soient Douces.
As Fleur writes, try these 2 official clips in long version and in that order "Libertine" and "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces". Thanks in advance Dereck! I'm French and I love your reactions! ;) I love all music in the world, and I would like everyone to know that such an artist exists!
Thanks dear Dereck ❤️ all the album « anamorphosee » is just a jewel! Do more track from this album 💪 and also « the farmer project »!! And also « the 2013 opening of her « timeless tour » and also...
Hahaha I see You like wa-wa guitar like me. I don't know if you've take attention to the break with guitar in last part of song very inspired by Prince I think. Derek, her last title is outed on YT. I see your enthusiasm for this vidéo and I just can agree with @Fleur d ... I can't wait your react on "Libertine" and "Pourvu qu'elle soient douces" which are respectively titles from 1986 and 1988. It's really important to note this to really understand what artistic revolution it was at that time. Of course with today's rap videos we're in stone now. But believe me in 86, it wasn't the same. Therefore, I think if they were out in the United States at that time, the both videos surely would have been totally censored (and maybe even today). I'd also like you react to two performances of Lara Fabian (the both videos exist in English subtitles version). The first is "Je suis malade Lara Fabian French and English subtitles" (cut and paste to search on Google). But for this one I advise you first to read the English translation of the lyrics. Then, to see the original performed by Serge Lama who's also lyrics author of this song (the music is by Alice Dona, his best friend). Look for "Serge Lama Je suis malade | INA Archive" (cut and paste to search on Google). Why am I asking you this? In fact, it's so that you can compare the two very different ways of approaching the song. Serge Lama, if we pay attention, puts himself in the shoes of the child he was to interpret the song. We feel in his interpretation that's the child who speaks. For Lara Fabian, it's completely different. She puts herself in the shoes of the woman who suffers (. In addition, it will allow you to soak up the magnificent construction of the song which will crescendo in emotion, from sadness to anger. This will also allow you to get your ear used to the melody and the meaning of the text to better approach Lara's version. The second "Lara Fabian & Johnny Hallyday - Requiem for a madman (English subtitles)" is her very first major performance on stage in front of a full stadium. It's for the Johnny Hallyday 1998 concert in "Stade De France" in Paris (see below to understand who Johnny is and therefore for her the terrible anguish and excitement that it must have been. She will say it later: "This moment is the most important moment and the best remembrance of all my career") which in this way will take off the career of Lara. I'm sure, you've never seen Lara sing like this ... oh my Gosh! She's so "rock n 'roll"! :) ...incredible! I'll really enjoy your reaction if you see that. lol (In France, Johnny Hallyday was nicknamed by other artists "Le patron (the boss)" like Bruce Springsteen in USA. During his funeral - video available on YT - on December 9, 2017, a "popular tribute" was paid to him in Paris with a musical descent by the funeral procession of the Champs-Élysées followed by 700 bikers and in front of nearly a million people, a eulogy by the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron on the forecourt of the Madeleine church in the presence of many political personalities, song , cinema and media, all broadcast live by the 24-hour news channels and the two large general-interest French television channels, TF1 and France 2, lasting more than five hours and watched by 14.4 million viewers). Sorry for my bad English, I'm French. :)

When i listen the music of the 80's and 90's i realise that we have loose so much quality in music and creativity but i was not realize it that time
New generations are so bad, with weak intelligent now...
And globally, USA and Europe were so much better and stronger in the 80's-90's.
I totally agree. This song is by far the best song of her entire career. It is so catchy, smooth, great instruments, great vocals, great lyrics.
Wow, it’s rare to see foreigners react to French musics... I also love that song. Listening when I was a kid and didn’t understand what is what about lol

When the prostitue Mylène was killed because she tried to rebel against the man, the rich Mylène tries to avenge, to rebel and to free oneself from this domination.
Thank you for this reaction ! You still have so much more to see ! ☺️💪🏻 cannot wait 🙌🏻
Oh my god Dereck thank you, it feels so good to see someone like you reacting to Mylène !
What's great is that you have a whole universe to discover, it's phenomenal ! I love your videos on Mylène Farmer !!! 💕
you have to react to the music video of Mylène Farmer "Que mon coeur lache" made by Besson (The fifth element)
Great choice !
Yes !!!
Please go for it !!
Wsh vous êtes sans pitié il a déjà reagi à la moitié de la disco de mylene vous en avez tjrs pas assez bande de veau 😂
big shout out to Abel Ferrara who directed this amazing video. 25 years later, still have goosebumps listening to this
thx Dereck.
I had an awful day, but you reacting to California made it ok again, so thanks!
Check out XXL for Rock Mylene!
And Je te rends ton amour is a MUST !
Can't waiy for next thursday 😉
I think like you! ;-) Strongly!
First of all I am happy that you reacted to it, I was one of the ppl who suggested it. The sultry California is a kick-off song to her 1995 album Anamorphosée, which she recorded in Los Angeles. This is my favorite Mylene album because it sounds drastically different from the rest of her albums. It has a lot of American rock influences, with the organic sounds of electric guitars, bass, electronic organs, the heavy beats, etc. - which is why the album does not sound dated... and California is the finest example of that! It is one of my favorite Mylene's songs... it is also obvious that she likes it too as she performs it on almost every tour! A couple factors played into why she temporarily relocated to the USA....1) her mega success after 1991 album L'Autre (from which Desenchantee is a huge hit) and 2) her flop 1993 movie Giorgino. Staying in France after such a turbulence was too much for her! Her long time collaborator Laurent Boutonnat must totally be credited as he is the one mostly responsible for the melodies and the arrangement. California is the best song on the album, but there are others that have a more hard rock feel to them.... Vertige, L'Instant X and XXL. Rever is a rock ballad that is another iconic song that she performs on every tour!
!!! Couldn’t agree more with what you said
thank you for your videos. It's nice to see that Mylène Farmer is appreciated by English speakers😉😉. Thank you for your sharp analyzes. Good continuation. A French fan of Mylène 😁.
Once again liked the video before watching 🙂 love this video of Mylene, my faves are "Je te rends ton amour" and "Fuck Them All", IDK if you can find the "je te rends ton amour" on youtube, but it's freakin iconic 💕 thanks for making these Mylene videos, youtube got better 4 me coz of that
For a good version of "je te rends ton amour" you should search on Vimeo
Fuck them all is a wonderful clip ♡♡♡
Yeas!!
Mylène is the Elvis Presley for her beauty, her presence, the Mickael Jackson for the clips and the choreography, and the Madonna to fill the concerts. If only the French could recognize, as you do, Mylène's talent. She is more loved and respected in Russia. I hope she's got it in America now thanks to you, Dereck. thank you so much
My favourite from Mylène so far!
Esposito played the character Gus Fring in Breaking Bad (The owner of Pollos Hermanos) , actually he is in the Mandalorian as Moff Gideon.
Hello from France, i think & i hope you'll one day add Mylene Farmer on your wall screen behind you ;) nice reactions keep it on !
I worked for her on her Tour 25 years ago
Mylène is magical! There's a lot of MV's you should react to. I'm thinking of "Libertine", "Pourvu qu'elle soient douces", "Sans contrefaçon", "Désenchantée", "L'instant X", "XXL", "Je te rends ton amour", "l'âme stram-gram", "C'est une belle journée", "Dégéneration", "Oui...mais non!" and so much more! it's delighful
He already did "Désenchantée" 😉
My favorite song of MYLENE FARMER... I don't know this lovely dereck but it's fun he's interested by French music ( of 80's) A good curiosity like Brian Velez has.
Yes !!!!! YES !!!! FUCKING YES!!!!!!!!!!!DUDE YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
I'm just waiting for "Libertine" + "Pourvue Qu'elles Soient Douces" music videos now ! 😂
I strongly advise you to listen to his song "que mon cœur lâche" the clip is directed by Luc Besson, it is one of his masterpieces
As the majority here I'm voting for Je te rends ton amour to be next
^^^ Thank you Derek...
See why her fanbase is so strong... once you discover those sounds and universe, there's no turning back!
Thank you for this video...
Can't wait for your video on "Libertine" and "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces !", if I may recommend (completely agree with previous comments)..... Cheers!
California is such a wonderful song and clip! The lyrics are amazing too (dans le rétro, ma vie qui s'anamorphose
« California » is my favorite song ever of Mylène! Everything is so good in this track, from the music, the lyrics, the movie... so sensual, sexy and bewitching in a way!
Melodies that stick IMMEDIATLY! You can hum along right away.
Her best one !!!!! 😍😍 Timeless
I've seen some of your reactions on Mylene, Derek, thanks for taking the time to do this... really enjoying this! I was in the Bercy concert in 2006 and yes it is a cinematic magical experience that transfers you to a different world. Check out "Degeneration" and "Fuck them all" , would love to see a reaction on it! Thanks again!
the whole f*cking album is amazing!
It’s one of my favorite songs from his 90’s period... The music video is incredible, the music beautiful, nothing to complain about.
Thx to react to this incredible song
Same , I always get tingles with this
The fact that Mylène Farmer called on Abel Ferrara for a video clip could not be more natural. Ferrara has an artistic universe which could not but attract her. It's characteristic of someone who is curious and wishes to confront an experience which Mylène knew that this meeting could only be artistically and humanly rich. She was not mistaken. It's hard to explain to you in detail who Ferrara is...
MAGNIFIQUE !!!
Mylène Farmer is the best singer in the universe. I adore her😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️
Mylène is a huge phenomenon in Russia!
Дааааааа Калифорния это конечно шедевр !!!!
Oui c'est un chef d'oeuvre , mais tu es de partout et un anglophone qui est heureux de découvrir Mylène, ça fait super plaisir
@@fab4354 😉 😆
Her best song, no doubt.
You should react to "L'instant X" a really good Mylene song as well 🥰
Yes! Agree with you. I put the link for him as XXL too and COMME J'AI MAL so that he knows "Farmerian" universe and many more! ☺
I think like you! We don't care what those who don't like! ^^
@Fantoma Il a été prouvé que la MECHANCETE est la caractéristique principale des gens souffrant d'UN SENTIMENT D'INFERIORITE (FANTOMA) se sentant obligées de salir et d'écraser toutes les personnes pouvant potentiellement paraître plus brillantes à leurs yeux! TOUT EST DIT!
@Fantoma Tu es bête surtout! Même Benoît et d'autres personnes ici te demandent de la fermer et tu agaces tout le monde à émettre sans arrêt ta méchanceté en écrasant les gens dans tes propos quand une chanson ou un live ne te plaît pas! Faut accepter le goût des gens que ça te chante ou non! Ils ont le droit de proposer leurs suggestions à Dereck ou leurs propres avis que tu "casses" à chaque fois, t'as que ça à faire dans ta vie si morne et pathétique! Au tout début, je t'ai vite cernée, je en me suis pas trompée sur ton compte. Trop imbue de ta personne, tu sais toujours tout sur tout, ce qui est bien pas bien, l'avis des autres t'importe! Chacun a ses goûts ses choix et le fait savoir! Alors boucle la!
@@benoitdurant7919 Oui tu vois qu'elle n'a pas d'âme! Elle dit qu'elle ne casse pas quand elle dit qu'on a (attention à ses propos!) "des goûts de chiottes", les siens sont pas mieux! Dans ce qu'elle écrit tout est CONTRADICTOIRE entre ce qu'elle nous répond et ce qu'elle dit aux autres personnes! On a NULLEMENT le droit pour ELLE d'émettre des suggestions qui ne lui plaisent pas (donc n'accepte pas ce que propose AUTRUI puisque NOUS pour ELLE nous sommes que des OBJETS de la "non représentation humaine"). Elle est trop imbue vu qu'elle a TOUJOURS raison (ne se remet NULLEMENT en question contrairement à d'autres individus lambdas), donc si ça c'est pas de l'arrogance, d'un sentiment de "supériorité" (en fait le contraire!), on écrase les gens par les propos en nous faisant comprendre qu'on des "M", mais NON nous au fond nous sommes bien mieux qu'elles car nous sommes FIERS de ne pas être ELLE! Elle a trop BESOIN de NOUS pour exister car les personnes de son acabit ont besoin d'AUTRUI pour exister sinon ils ne sont rien donc ce que j'ai mis prouve bien la personne qu'elle est! Que de la façade, à l'intérieur le NEANT niveau sentiment! POOR LITTLE GIRL!
Oh Derek! When you said "it makes me think of Basic Instinct, the movie" I was like "you don't even know the end of the MV, how do you know???" So glad that you decided to listen to that song, her album Anamorphose is considered her best album by the critics, the fact that she spent months in California helped her create new songs, more rock on sound level (L'instant X, XXL are proof of that).
I'm joining other comments, if you can find the MV of "Je te rends ton amour" uncensored (at the time it was censored by channels, with only a broadcast between midnight and 5am so she decided to sell VHS of the MV and the funds were donated to AIDS charity), you will bluffed as well (and guess what, drums!!! right in the intro ;) )
Have a great day
13K oh my god it's insane ! mylène the best obviously
! and now i'm addicted to you lol
I'm addicted to Mylene!!🔥
@@DereckReacts You become a Mylene's fan! ;- )
@@DereckReacts It's a good sign! ^^
You should look at the clip to Je te rends ton amour 😍😍😍 and if you want some rock then look her 96 concert: the song XXL and the entrance with the song Vertige 🤟🤟🤟
And the video is directed by Abel Ferrara, who also did "Bad Lieutenant" (1992), "King of New York" (1990) and "Ms .45" (1981) films as well.
More Mylène, yay!!!
Amazing Mylene!
my favourite Mylène clip is l'Ame-Stram-Gram.But there are so many wonderful clips like Pourvu qu'elles soient douces.
Cool. Mylène is a goddess. Can't wait for your next Mylène réaction.
I love how you're barely paying attention to the music video because you're so into the music 😂😂😂
It's one of my favorite songs of her so I understand!
Hi Derek.
I think you should watch "c'est une belle journée" live timeless by Mylène Farmer.
(2013)
You are going to have a good surprise.
This track is REALLY cool, tha pads are gorgeous and THE BASS! The bass is held by no other than Abe Laboriel, best bassist in the world and a very beautiful human
I'm going to wait for the subtitles to better comment on what you're saying, I'm having a hard time following.
But in any case, I can tell you that I always look forward to your reactions on MF. And this song always does something to me, makes me wanna move sensually by closing my eyes.
For the producer, at first he didn't want to do a music video for MF, but when she wants something, she gets it and Mylène paid the price and the result is magnificent.
But I agree with another comment. You absolutely have to watch the long versions of Libertine then of Pourvu Qu'elles soient Douces.
As Fleur writes, try these 2 official clips in long version and in that order "Libertine" and "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces". Thanks in advance Dereck! I'm French and I love your reactions! ;) I love all music in the world, and I would like everyone to know that such an artist exists!
With Giancarlo Esposito "Gus Fring"
Thanks dear Dereck ❤️ all the album « anamorphosee » is just a jewel! Do more track from this album 💪 and also « the farmer project »!! And also « the 2013 opening of her « timeless tour » and also...
Mylène farmer is my favorite singer try next time "degeneration" Vidéo clip is very good ☺
super dereck , look her single and clip " si j'avais au moins " 😍😍😍😍
You must watch the "The Farmer Project" which is made of 2 videoclips for two songs that are connected in the story line.
Excellent 🍀🏆🏆🏆🍀 as usual! Thank you, Dear Dereck. 💐🍀💐🍀💐😘
Hahaha I see You like wa-wa guitar like me. I don't know if you've take attention to the break with guitar in last part of song very inspired by Prince I think.
Derek, her last title is outed on YT.
I see your enthusiasm for this vidéo and I just can agree with @Fleur d ... I can't wait your react on "Libertine" and "Pourvu qu'elle soient douces" which are respectively titles from 1986 and 1988. It's really important to note this to really understand what artistic revolution it was at that time. Of course with today's rap videos we're in stone now. But believe me in 86, it wasn't the same. Therefore, I think if they were out in the United States at that time, the both videos surely would have been totally censored (and maybe even today).
I'd also like you react to two performances of Lara Fabian (the both videos exist in English subtitles version).
The first is "Je suis malade Lara Fabian French and English subtitles" (cut and paste to search on Google). But for this one I advise you first to read the English translation of the lyrics. Then, to see the original performed by Serge Lama who's also lyrics author of this song (the music is by Alice Dona, his best friend). Look for "Serge Lama Je suis malade | INA Archive" (cut and paste to search on Google). Why am I asking you this? In fact, it's so that you can compare the two very different ways of approaching the song. Serge Lama, if we pay attention, puts himself in the shoes of the child he was to interpret the song. We feel in his interpretation that's the child who speaks. For Lara Fabian, it's completely different. She puts herself in the shoes of the woman who suffers (.
In addition, it will allow you to soak up the magnificent construction of the song which will crescendo in emotion, from sadness to anger.
This will also allow you to get your ear used to the melody and the meaning of the text to better approach Lara's version.
The second "Lara Fabian & Johnny Hallyday - Requiem for a madman (English subtitles)" is her very first major performance on stage in front of a full stadium. It's for the Johnny Hallyday 1998 concert in "Stade De France" in Paris (see below to understand who Johnny is and therefore for her the terrible anguish and excitement that it must have been. She will say it later: "This moment is the most important moment and the best remembrance of all my career") which in this way will take off the career of Lara.
I'm sure, you've never seen Lara sing like this ... oh my Gosh! She's so "rock n 'roll"! :) ...incredible!
I'll really enjoy your reaction if you see that. lol
(In France, Johnny Hallyday was nicknamed by other artists "Le patron (the boss)" like Bruce Springsteen in USA. During his funeral - video available on YT - on December 9, 2017, a "popular tribute" was paid to him in Paris with a musical descent by the funeral procession of the Champs-Élysées followed by 700 bikers and in front of nearly a million people, a eulogy by the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron on the forecourt of the Madeleine church in the presence of many political personalities, song , cinema and media, all broadcast live by the 24-hour news channels and the two large general-interest French television channels, TF1 and France 2, lasting more than five hours and watched by 14.4 million viewers).
Sorry for my bad English, I'm French. :)
This is literally my exact reaction when I first heard this song
Toujours intéressant de te voir réagir à Mylène.. Merci beaucoup, continue please
