Kate Bush/Cyndi Lauper vibes is so right on lol. You can really hear that 80s influence in a lot of her songs but especially this one. This song is so special to me! I used to be the kind of girl she’s singing about until I finally came to terms with being a lesbian.
Definitely... She also has a little bit of 80s Stevie Nicks in the verse, though she obviously has more range. Kate bush was also a lot more musically strange then her, and sat in the high registers far more often and prolonged.
Unrelated but, girl I used to see you all the time on pentatonix reaction videos and now I see you on a Chappell Roan reaction video??? You have immaculate taste. Fr though seeing you gave me crazy nostalgia.
@@whydidytaddthis I was actually going to change my name a few years ago (it’s old asf) but I thought it would be funnier if people recognized me from PTX reactions lmao. Glad I found someone who does!
You mentioned pink pony club in one of the bg facts but I would definitely recommend listening to that one! If you want a live performance of it her tiny desk set has it!
I feel like Madonna never gets the recognition she deserves. But I definitely hear her influence on Chappell as well as Cindy and Kate. Love Chappell! I feel like we really witnessed the birth of one of the most influential singers to come.
What an amazing album not a bad track on an album that will be a classic 66 year old bloke who has been disillusioned with recent music of late but I love her music so refreshing and I can't stop listening to her music.
Every song hits. There’s a modern/old school blend with amazing vocals and note choices. I’m gonna add PPC and Good Luck, Babe to her album and say it’s one of the top pop albums of the last 25 year…. Top 10 at worst.
Her Tiny Desk Concert is a MUST WATCH. It's Epic. And to see her ease outside of of a controlled environment... go watch all (or some) of her recent Lollapalooza hour long set. She's a tiny bit rough in the first song then gets better and better and better as the hour goes on. Most of that control and ability seems to be due to gigantic natural talent. Supposedly she didn't get intense formal training until some time last year. BTW: you might want to go down the rabbit hole of her interactions with Elton John. He's pretty much her biggest booster.
the bridge is so reminiscent of kate bush that i had to do a double take when i first heard it. it’s almost uncanny and i feel like that’s the highest compliment i can give a singer or songwriter
I think I gravitate more to Chappells sound more than Taylor’s because of her huge 80s influences through her vocals and her production. She gives me the same feeling I had when lady Gaga was coming onto the rise she’s definitely bringing something different to the industry with her music and performance I’m so glad we are getting more lgbt representation ESPECIALLY lesbian queer love. ❤
Chappell has a long, loonnnng list of artists who have influenced her, and she happily acknowledges them all. She even goes further in that acknowlegement, and throughout the 14 songs of Midwest Princess has scattered tributes to a lot of them, in sound and in lyrics as well. It's fun to me to find or later learn about such lyrical nods that I missed on earlier listens. Can you find the one to Rihanna? How about to Cass Elliott and Michelle Phillips? Can you find the one to Chrissie Hynde (who I saw just 3 weeks ago, only a couple of months after seeing Chappell)? I figured out only Chrissie's on my own. Had to learn off other reaction vids about the Rihanna and Mamas & Papas homages.
Beth, you'll probably also enjoy Chappell's lyric video for Good Luck, Babe. And since you've now seen her Fallon show performance, please check out her interview segment on the show as well. She's a weird flamboyant black swan during it, and over the commercial break morphs into the weird flamboyant white swan we see here. She's also funny. For viewers for whom this vid is your first exposure to Chappell and your first reaction is "ugh," might the visuals have been a factor? The swan is definitely OTT hyper-theatrical, a look in which she went for and achieved "ugly beauty," which she sometimes does. But she has 100 different looks, new ones every week, and some are likely to be much more appealing to many people. Consider giving her another listen, maybe just her music.
I'm so glad you're covering her! This isn't my favorite song by her, but I'm excited to see what you have to say. I have a pet theory about her vocal tone and I want to see if you agree with me. 😁
So my pet theory is this: yes, there's a ton of Kate Bush influence on her sound and look, and I also see and hear the fashion-forward hyper-femme camp of Gwen Stefani, but I also think that her yodeling tone is almost a sassy back-formation from the influence of auto-tune, if that makes sense?
I love that you referenced Kate Bush! I’ve been saying that she’s like the love child of Kate Bush and Stevie Nicks who went to liberal art school! I love the Cyndi Lauper comparison too! I’m so happy there’s still talented deep musicians like Chappell around ❤
I've been obsessed with a singer Sierra Ferrell. I highly recommend a reaction to her live performances. The Sea; hey me, hey mama or anything from Her tiny desk concert. I think you would be in love with the unique qualities in her voice.
She is phenomenal. Her old stuff was much moodier and less joyous but also brilliant. But her new direction is so fun and catchy and unapologetic. I would love to see her live.
Have been waiting for this, thank you! I recommend checking out her NPR Tiny Desk. Would love to hear your thoughts on all of it but especially Red Wine Supernova.
My understanding is that she only recently took vocal training, because she wanted to make sure she could belt like that while running around on stage.
Beth, thank you for answering our appeals to get to a Chappell song. It's a shame you don't do full album first listen reaction vids, because there hasn't been in your music career yet and isn't likely to be again for decades an album so perfectly suited for an every-song listen and analysis as The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. Fourteen songs, every one a gem, and displaying a range of vocal styles and abilities you're not going to find elsewhere in truly popular "pop" music. The album has no weak tracks in part because she did a whole other album several years ago that she and Atlantic Records agreed to just shelve. She changed directions very dramatically towards sparkley, "fun, anthemic, narrative pop," returned home to Missouri for awhile, but kept working, 2020-2023, on the new direction forged first with Pink Pony Club. She (got diagnosed as bipolar B and began therapy and meds,) worked long and hard with help from Dan Nigro and others, and carefully and extensively crafted polished these 14 songs, 12 of them independently. I've been buying albums -- mostly rock, blues, and pop --since 1969 when I was fourteen. Nearly every great album has a weak track or two (or four). The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess has zero. It's an all-time classic, one of the greats. If you won't break pattern and do a whole album vid, then please just start on Midwest Princess by grabbing whatever song you want to at random, it scarcely matters which you choose. Bangers, bops, and ballads, you will marvel at them all. Chappell is capable of singing with many different voices and has incredible command of them all.
I’ve watched quite a few reactions to Chappell and the vibe I get makes me thing of the kind of reactions we would have seen for Mariah Carrey or Whitney Huston when they first came out. Obviously the style of singing is totally different, but her level of control and talent is just insane. I don’t know who else to compare it to 🤷♀️
Always prefer live performance reactions. Would like to see reaction to Chappell's Lollapalooza 2024 concert - specifically The Subway, Pink Pony Club, Picture You, Casual
Chappell Roan's music isn't really my cup of tea, but as an lgbtq+ person myself, I'm really glad that she's emerged as such a massive icon of the community. We needed someone like her. I've listened to her album a few times, because I want to like it more than I do, and one thing I've noticed that I haven't heard anyone point out is how similar she sounds to Taylor Swift. Their voices and the production style are fairly different, but Chappell's melodies and lyrical flow are very similar to Taylors. At least, to my ears and I think that's what puts me off. I was already a bit of a Taylor fan and so Chappell just sounds a bit derivative.
I think I gravitate more to Chappells sound more than Taylor’s because of her huge 80s influences through her vocals and her production. She gives me the same feeling I had when lady Gaga was coming onto the rise she’s definitely bringing something different to the industry with her music and performance I’m so glad we are getting more lgbt representation ESPECIALLY lesbian queer love. ❤
She's obviously a very good and original singer but I can't get past those similarities that you have mentioned. Also the more people involved in the writing/production process of a song the more diluted the music becomes, this is a problem for most commercial pop music of today. Good Luck Babe is a step to the right direction though, so hopefully she can fulfill the potential she has a singer now that she's famous, has a platform and people are listening.
I hear similarities to Taylor in some songs, and she sounds the opposite in others. She can be such a chameleon an artist and I love it! She sounds like contemporary pop and then suddenly she sounds 80's or 90's
I think Chapelle is unapologetically lesbianYou say it's great we all got to the stage when people can listen to gay music. Queer is meaningless catch all term these days that seems tk describe everything no actually gay. Chappell, Renee Rapp... are lesbians. It isn't a dirty word. Lesbians have waited a long time for artists as open as this for representation.
Music is subjective, thats like saying my favorite food is the best food in the world and anything I don't like is trash? Step out of your tiny cramped box and live a little

No self-control, me sees Chappell Roan, me clicks 🧌
ure everywhere i swear
lol I’ve been right behind you for a few weeks now
HELP Y R U EVERYWHERE IN EVERY REACTION I SEE
You mentioned pink pony club in one of the bg facts but I would definitely recommend listening to that one! If you want a live performance of it her tiny desk set has it!
Her recent set at Lollapalooza also totally slammed and is worth a look.
The tiny desk set is outstanding
The genius of the songwriting here is that the song is just as powerful with just an acoustic guitar as it is with all the theatrics. Lovely!
It really takes a lot for someone to impress me these days with vocal control. And she is an absolute beast. Truly amazing
I'm really hoping she can keep this momentum. She really is the real deal. It's just such good music all around.
She's a wonderful singer, songwriter, and performer. One of my favorite new artists.
Chappel's Tiny Desk concert is 🤌🤌🤌
I feel like Madonna never gets the recognition she deserves. But I definitely hear her influence on Chappell as well as Cindy and Kate. Love Chappell! I feel like we really witnessed the birth of one of the most influential singers to come.
You're absolutely right
Girl madonna is literally called the QUEEN OF POP. She get plenty recognition
I don’t think it’s a problem to give Madonna recognition for her pop performances, but not as a pop vocalist, and Chappell Roan does both.
What an amazing album not a bad track on an album that will be a classic 66 year old bloke who has been disillusioned with recent music of late but I love her music so refreshing and I can't stop listening to her music.
Every song hits. There’s a modern/old school blend with amazing vocals and note choices.

She performed Red Wine Super Nova live on The Tonight Show - it’s also incredible ❤
My Kink Is Karma waas what got me last year, best way to describe my 20s haha Thanks for this !
Finally you covered her ❤ your excitement was contagious :)
Her Tiny Desk Concert is a MUST WATCH. It's Epic.

BTW: you might want to go down the rabbit hole of her interactions with Elton John. He's pretty much her biggest booster.
Please react to the whole album. I don’t get this excited about an artist and a record for so long.
She is so cool! Lady Gaga has a younger sister? was my first reaction...but she definitely plants her own signature on her music.
And she's Elton John's favorite (current) artist.
Your excitement was fun to see! I appreciated the specifics about her voice and technique.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this performance SO MUCH!! The vocals on “I told you so” i bow down to our gay icon, Chappell.💖✨
Her voice is just delicious. I want to take a bath in her voice, it’s so inviting and wonderful.
She strengthened her vocals by training her singing during intense physical exercise.
Can you believe the studio version of this is higher?! She said its down a half step or full step when she sing it live though (for obvious reasons)
California and Pink Pony Club are two of my favs from her.
Ive been waiting for this thank youuuu
Couldn't help but bop along. Nice! Thanks for introducing me to new artists @bethroars!
the bridge is so reminiscent of kate bush that i had to do a double take when i first heard it. it’s almost uncanny and i feel like that’s the highest compliment i can give a singer or songwriter
can't wait to see you react to her album!

Airflow! You're absolutely right. Keep exploring her live vids. She practices singing while running and has amazing breath control.
The album is excellent end to end! You need to watch her Tiny Desk Concert.
OMG, thank you! I feel the Cyndi Lauper vocal vibe so strongly and hardly anyone mentions it. Thank you!!!!❤
Her stage name is pronounced as Chap-El Roan (like Own = R-Own)
Rhymes with Apple Phone
Chaperone
Here entire record is amazing

So excited for this video! You always do such lovely breakdowns 💖
Also excited for your album!!
Not many important singers come around. I think she’s going to be very important for a long time.
loving your editing
Thank you!!
Bowie would adore her…both at a theatrics and songwriting level.

Love Chappell's belt
Has to be hot to go live at lollapalooza next!! 😮
Always prefer live performance reactions. Would like to see reaction to Chappell's Lollapalooza 2024 concert - specifically The Subway, Pink Pony Club, Picture You, Casual
Submitting a request for the Tiny Desk! 🙏
PLEEEEASSSSSEEEE Do a react to her VMA . Please. Please?
Do red wine supernova!!!!
I don't know if you check your comments often, but Chappell actually NEVER had any vocal lessons/vocal coach until about a year ago.
She def needs it bc without proper technique her beautiful voice will get damaged and i dont want that
Also reminds me of Marina and the Diamonds style
Sky Ferreira vocal deep dive please!
I get a Florence and Gaga combo.
I believe Chappel only started taking professional voice lessons last year!
I get tegan and sara vibes .
cyndi lauper vibes..❤
Gwen Steffani?
