Linda Perry is amazing. She is a great singer, songwriter and producer.🎶🎶🖖🖖Thank you Beth. You are amazing ❤❤🖖🖖
The band booked a small park in Cincy. Then this song exploded. By the time they held the show, the park was overrun with 10,000 fans.
Was Eden Park, wasn't it?
Me and my girlfriend at the time went but we were late and missed it. I had no idea that show propelled them.
This song is a belter, and Linda Perry's voice in the recorded version is incredible. A friend and I used to sing it in the car on the way home from work when it first appeared on the radio in 1993 (yes, I am that old). I still love it now, 30 years later ☺️
On the recorded version, the word "Revolution" is sung with such power that I used to say it was my favorite sung word in any song.
Every time I hear it, I think of one of my best friends wife. She LOVES doing this song on karaoke... and she's deaf. People laugh sometimes, or look at her like its pitiful that she's off key, but she enjoys every minute of singing it, every time... and thats just cool as shit, honestly. 😎
Music means more than being "good". 💯
This song always reminds me of college. It was EVERYWHERE when it came out. Really good song but the vocal performance is what elevates it and makes it so unique and memorable.
This was and is one of my favorite albums. I picked it up right after desert storm and I still play it regularly. It is one of my coping objects that kept me together during very dark times.
While driving on the highway this came on the radio and my girlfriend at the time got excited and cranked it up. It really surprised me because she was not known to have much of an appreciation for music, but she could really get into this song. The only other song she liked was "Bitch" by Meridith Brooks.
This song always lifts my spirits and puts me in a good mood. And I really like the style the women had, with the dreadlocks and braids, boots and tattoos. A cool and rocking group of ladies, and a total ‘90s classic forever.
Love this song, she has one of those unique voices like Tracy Chapman, Macy Gray etc...
Oh man, we need some Macy Gray reacts...

Now I'm going to have this song stuck in my puny head... 😉 Well done. It's a wonderful song to have bouncing around between my ears. Thanks for sharing.
Linda sang her heart out on this, and those harmonies were dead on.
Thank God someone is giving Linda some love! Knock Men Out hands down folks is one of the best song of one of the greatest albums ever!!!!
To me that was a perfect song for her voice amazing !
I've seen this mentioned as the song of the Nineties. Hard to argue with it being in that conversation.
I was at home and my house mate called and said that singer you like is here in the pub (he was bar tender). So rushed there and the pub begged her to sing, Someone got a guitar.She sang this song and led zeppelin song was ammmmazing. ❤. This doesn’t happen often/ever being in Australia and this was when they were huge at this time
One of a kind song. Linda really puts it out there with her heart and wonderful voice.
She co wrote 26 songs recently with Kate Hudson, and also wrote all 4 songs and produced Ringo Starr's new EP Crooked Boy
You can tell that Linda’s focus is on being true to herself just by looking at her. There’s no way she could ever be anything other than her eclectic self. And that is a big part of her attraction
Such a unique voice, I've been a fan of this song since I first heard it back in the day, and I LOVED seeing it get a renewed life when it was used in Sense8
I love your reactions, Beth. The thrill and appreciation when you hear magic is so endearing.
And speaking of magic, Linda Perry is such a gift to music lovers.
I've heard her voice described as "Crazy Cool", I agree
I love your insights! 💕 You "know your stuff" like crrrazy, but you also bring your whole heart when you listen. 💕
I have this specific version in my collection since 6 years, and i didn't remember some specifique voice passages.
It's nice seeing you reacting on that song :)
And it was a nice reaction ;)
Excellent work Beth. you really get music, especially the voice. You ROAR!
I made a ton off this song when I was a busker- people love it. Linda Perry is super talented.
I'm reminded of the adage: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." One's opinion on any song, poem, etc. applies here.
As powerful as her voice is she actually wrote A LOT of songs for other people.
My favorite, "Beautiful" First time I heard it was sung by Christina Aguilera. Love Linda Perry's original too
She's an amazing singer, songwriter and producer, I love the duet ("Knock Me Out") she made with Grace Slick.
Saw them in like 93 at a free concert in Roger Williams Park here in Cranston, Rhode Island. Great show! Put on by the local rock station. Sadly they don’t really have things like that here anymore.
Bigger Faster Better More is a great album. The whole thing is a mood. Can listen to it in it's entirety.
This reminded me of Janis Joplin's version of "Ball and Chain" at Monterey Pop Festival, or Joe Cocker's "With a Little Help from My Friends" at Woodstock. Pure emotion in song.
This is close to being my fav song of all time ty great video
Superb. A great reaction to a great tune.
I probably heard this about a thousand times when it was a big hit, great song, still like it.
This is such an amazing song! Never seen this live version, but it perfectly demonstrates the inherent power and dynamic of a great performance versus a "technically perfect" recording. She is the rare bird that inspires singer/songwriters like me. The quest to just cut loose and put yourself out there as you feel it is extremely rare and exactly as it should be. And I love that you not only get it, but respect it. Thanks for this one! Love your passion, Beth!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed this song and this live version. I agree, she is an amazing singer/songwriter who knows how to express herself and connect with the audience. You’re very welcome for this one! Love your comment! Beth x
Hi Beth, this song saved their career as they struggled through their 1st 3 albums and they were almost dropped by their record label. Kiss Alive was a monumental album for them. You have to see them live to truly appreciate the energy they bring and the energy that the audience gives back in return.
I really love you "roar" at the intro in all your vídeos 🥰 it's so cute! 😍
I was jamming out to this in the car last night and was wondering if you had it on your channel. It's weird how things like that line up.
EEEeeee I love this song!!! I have a cold at the moment so I'm singing in this low voice whether I want to or not lol
Loved your reaction to this group. First time I heard them was back when they first came out back in 1989 and I was in love with Linda Perry's voice! You have to do their rendition of Led Zeppelin's Misty Mountain Hop, you will NOT regret it!
Love the conversation about the duality of music in terms of what's emotionally engaging and what's technically correct or classically pretty.
I think Sarah McLachlan live really straddles that barrier between classically beautiful but still emotionally engaging, too.
I’ve always loved this song, but it reminds me of Don’t Worry, Be Happy every time I hear it.
Yeah, a struggle of the technical reaching for emotion, or emotion reaching for technique. In some genres, emotion creates its OWN technique. This song is a cool track, an interesting post-punk intersection. Linda Perry's vocals are AMAZING for their crisp, emotional edge, and power. I dig it.
That larynx thing explains so much! Years ago I was explaining to my mom that Elvis's voice was actually kinda high but he just made it sound deep - and I think that's what I was trying to get at! And the duck-face thing also helps explain why both Elvis ans Billy Idol (who I think did the same thing) both had those signature snarls - maybe?
Memories of late nights at the Pub singing (er... kinda of...) this song with my friends sooo much time ago...
her voice is so nice
Ótima análise, meu canal de react favorito!
After hearing this song once, I bought their album when it was released. It's a very feel good song for me.
Perfect on this live version or not, she certainly got it perfect on the studio version. Took the world by storm for a few years when it first came out. Rushed to the store to get that CD!
THIS is why the '90s was THE BEST. The fact that the billboard 100 isn't filled with songs like these is what's wrong with the world! What a classic
(also, the scantily clad jacked dudes chillin behind a female band is so damn '90s lmao)
BTW, can we get a shout out for this performance?! UNBELIEVABLE how closely she mimics the performance on the recording - this isn't an easy song!!! Kinda feel like a bit of that is lost today...
In my first year of University, I covered this song with a few guys in my res (dorm) and one of the guys' lady friend who could sing. Great times!
Please react to "The Story" by Brandi Carlisle.
The way those loud notes explode out of such a stripped down song feels so raw.
Hi Beth😅 I have just met you and so far I really like what I have seen. You have great taste in music and I like the fact that you like Oasis too! Ha I just watched the Supersonic video with your analysis. You are terrific and I will keep watching so look out for me 😂
Great reaction video👋
Have you done Alison Krauss yet? Until relatively recently she had more Grammys than any other artist. Also Dan Tyminski who is part of Union Station and who sang Man of Constant Sorrow in the film O'Brother Where Art Thou. Alison singing Down to the River to Pray and a couple of others. She has such a beautiful voice.
Ditto on that my brother!
AKUS. Heck yes!
Love her and her album with Robert Plant, I’m obsessed with the song “Sister Rosetta goes before”. Every time I play it to people they love it ❤
@@monicaking2140 Try her stuff with Union Station. She plays a mean fiddle as well. 🎻
@@FrowningIke love me a fiddle. I wish she’d come to Australia
Damn girl. You looks so natural. Bravo for that.
He-Man singing this is one of the best things ever made.

I love the 4 Non Blondes and I've only seen the studio version [I think it's the official music video] - your explanation of her voice is very helpful and it helps me to understand why she is quite flat on quite a few notes I would expect that she isn't that flat at some other shows. She does have a beautiful, powerful voice. As I'm listening to this, it seems like she is really putting her voice through the hoops; I love that she is so expressive and doesn't hold back. I can't figure out why the song is called "What's Up" rather than "What's Goin' On". I wished my favorite young superstar would let loose like this (if she could) - it would add so much to her repertoire.
This is literally the only song I can sing well in karaoke. The low voice storytelling suits me. 🤣
I don't speak English, my language is Portuguese i'm Brazilian,but this song sounds so good to my ears and gives me a lot of good feelings I love it, it's so unique I love Linda Perry's songs
The 90's had so many bands with very unique sounds, gotta love it, I mean if you look at the 90's 1 hit wonders..they're all so completely different, I can't describe it well but sometimes I think music peaked in the 1990's and it's gone downhill ever since, and heck I love 80's music and the older stuff over a few genres, the 90's had such a great culmination of instruments and techniques and compositions and passion and creativity, that decade was like a last hurrah for music, they made music like they had something to prove in the 90's and this was before marketing and the digital era totally ruined it
Linda Perry has such an amazing and powerful voice. She is one of a kind
Pink and her were really great friends in their careers. As celebrity has it, we'll I just hope they have reconciled since.
Both perlific song writer's.
5:55 Beth mentions singers wanting to make their voice beautiful… I read an article in a magazine right after Stripped (Christina Aguilera) was released and Linda Perry was interviewed. She said one of the things she worked with Christina on was exactly this… allowing her voice to be “ugly” and raw. You can 100% hear that throughout Stripped and it’s fantastic.
Emotional performance it’s always best then sing perfectly. I like when singers are viceral
I like the studio version of this one a million times more. This is a song she struggles with live, even struggled on Howard Stern. Doesn't mean I don't like it, just that the clean studio version is often unable to be re-produced live.
I am a massive fun of you Beth!
Hey, Try reacting to Beatriz, by Milton Nascimento. From Brazil! Amazing vocals and incredible and complex muscial structures.
Big fan of this song too. Blind melon - No Rain would be another good one!
Beth you truly have a voice of a angel!!! Are you from heaven?
I really like the song when It first came out but they play it so much I got burnt out .. I think you should do a reaction to 4 non blondes spaceman that's really a good tune also .
Interested to hear what I sound like? I have just realised my first cover on Spotify. Let me know what you think! open.spotify.com/track/6qfvKbg6ukHJOGykx2MARB?si=8a2fa85792b14d15
Beth check out Me against the world by Lizzy Borden. See if you hear the similarities in the Lind's voice and Lizzy's
Maybe try The Warning i would prob suggest. the live version of Animosity th-cam.com/video/K8VPX-diRl4/w-d-xo.html or their reimagined version of Enter Sandman th-cam.com/video/vg9vNE7gm0I/w-d-xo.html that was done for Metallica's 30th Anniversary Blacklist album both of these pro shot videos were from Aug 2022 just to give you an insight to how good they are live
I love this version/remix in Sense8

The Gathering - Waking Hour (TG25 Live at Doornroosje)
Beth, have you heard of Frightened Rabbit? They’re a Scottish band that were led by vocalist Scott Hutchinson. Unfortunately, he died by suicide. He had a great voice.
Back then, Andrea, Shmoo and Ross we were still using the old-band name: "Electric Gypsy"
This particular drummer we hired begged-off doing a television appearance at the last-minute with us because HE said the band "wasn't not ready"...
(I, personally, have NEVER forgiven that dude!
We WERE "ready"!)
Grr... (anywho, this was a loose rehearsal of a song we were not even planning to do! It was just a thingy for fun!)

I think you get it. My hat is off to you, and to Linda.
Her interpretation is almost like she's mocking something, making fun of the world. I really love that.
i always recommend listening first to the sudio recording or production video that uses the studio recording. that's how you know how the song is supposed to sound and why fans love it so much. there's a few exceptions to this rule that i won't list but this isn't one of the exceptions although, here, 4 non blondes seems to follow the studio version rather well. the studio version is still best. thanks for the video.
And a unique hat!
Please react to The Dave Matthews Band Music Video for the song Ants Marching
❤
As a man, I say, "One of the most important songs, of the 90s!"
I just want to be in that swimming pool listening to Linda Perry sing.
Beth please react to a band called TNT & their track Tonight Im Falling (live Japan 89), the vocals are up there with bands like Steelheart & Slaughter
Can you do A perfect circle, When the Levee Breaks, Live at Red Rocks
React to Tommy Johansson from Sabaton when he does You raise me up 1 octave challenge 😊
I love what you said about technically perfect singing vs real emotional connection with the listener. Norah Jones. for me, embodies this. Her voice is lovely, but try as I might, I simply cannot feel anything when I listen to her sing. But put on some Janis Joplin, Haley Reinhart, Patsy Cline, Ray Charles or Aretha (and some others) and I am transported.
Of course, I am sure that many people would disagree!
Her voice was fried by this point, think they'd been promoting for a year. There's far better live performances out there, one from German TV springs to mind. Plus MTV's gear was shit ofc.
Está canción en su época fue. La número uno en México se tubo una mala inprecion de esta cantante fue muy grosera déspota el público mexicano nunca volvió a pedir otro concierto pero en su momento se le reconoció como una buena cantante👏👏🍀🍀
When was this?
@@0lderSch00l no sé exactamente pero esto que pasó tiene ya muchos años en un festival de Acapulco dónde se invitaban a muchos artistas de todo el mundo principal mente británicos gringos argentinos chilenos españoles etc.
WISE blood !!
They do an awesome cover of Led Zep’s Misty Mountain Hop
Eat song of the 90’s high school baby reminds me a lot of Janis Joplin with the emotion
I always thought this was a song about someone wanting to know what horses eat.
Have always loved this song. Think it could only be sung right by Linda Perry. Lost track of her after the band blew up
Surprise, didn't expect this but Noice!!t
Love everytyhing but still love Natalie Merchant better
can you react to mckenna grace singing post party trauma live!?!? its really good!
Spaceman is the jam 😉
My chords hurt watching this lol I don't know if it's that she wasn't vocally trained at the time or if she had issues with her chords that day but this is painful to watch, not cuz it's bad, but because you tell by the sound of it that it's not properly executed. I still love her and the song, though. It's iconic, and her work as a writer with other artists is of amazing, top-notch quality
Shout out ma'am ☺️
Now you mention it I could see a lot of her in Pink
