YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES & one more YES!!! I, too, came here to beg you to react to this song! I'm a brand new subscriber (less than a week!), but I've been watching for a couple of months. I think Rick's Cry For Help will bring tears to your eyes, especially if you have a strong woman in your life (mom, partner, friend, etc.). And one of the reasons I've come to enjoy watching your videos so much is because of your instant understanding of deeper level meaning lyrics, and your sensitivity to humanity through music. I'm really glad I subbed. 🤗
Stock Aitkin & Waterman produced that’s why they sound similar, they were known in the UK as the ‘hit factory’ & Rick actually started working in their office as a tea boy when he left school
Rick has an amazing acoustic cover of the Foo Fighter's song "Everlong", which he recorded last year for TH-cam. Foo Fighters were a big fan of him, and he of them. They even brought him on stage at one of their concerts to perform one of his songs, which is also on TH-cam.
Good old Hit Factory - Stock Aitkin and Waterman produced. Same production style across many artists - often pretty much the same tune just with variations in pitch and speed. Repetitive but hugely successful
The songs sound a lot alike because they both came off the same album. So they were recorded around the same time. This is favorite of his from this era, along with "It Takes a Strong Man." His album "50," released just a few years ago, has some pretty great tracks on it. Check out "Keep Singing," "Angel on My Side," and "Pray with Me." All three are killer tracks. Also check out "It Takes a Strong Man" from the same album as this one and "Never Gonna Give You Up."
Good choices, Matt. I also loved his latter day stuff especially from the Body & Soul album - the songs Hopelessly and Everytime are fantastic. Also, have an album somewhere called Keep It Turned On that was only available in Germany and I was lucky enough to be in Berlin on holiday that year so bought and loved it.
It's more because the songs are by the same songwriters/producers: Stock/Aitken/Waterman. Almost all of her songs sound similar, because it's some of the cheapest pop music ever made.^^
Rick Astley is great! You should try "Cry For Help". It's way different from the previous ones. But, if you want to dance once more, try "She Wants To Dance With Me". It's a very nice song. Cheers!
All the mums had a crush on Rick when I was little 😉😂 He had a full album! I seem to remember a ballad in the charts Cry for Help a little later in his career.
I loved him when I was younger, still do. His voice is like butter. I remember in the 1980s when I was listening to him and my Granny overheard him. She said “he sounds like a modern day Nat King Cole”. She was shocked to hear he was a white bloke from northern England!
If you want to hear Rick differently then listen to ‘cry for help’ you won’t believe that he gave up singing after this till he came back at the age of 50 with a number one album called 50 😁👍🏼💕🇬🇧
You mentioned if you had not seen him you would have assumed he was not white. Not first time that has been said in general. LOL. Fact is alot of white singers also have alot of soul and depth to their voice. In Rick Astley's case I just found his voice surprising because he looked like kind of a nerdy kid when he started out then had this huge voice! Love him!
The song was written by Stock, Aitkin and Waterman, all their songs sound exactly the same, that is why you think this song is similar to the last Rick Astley song you reacted too lol
I was going to say the same thing. The two hits sound incredibly similar but I prefer "Together Forever". Rick didn't write his songs until the second album.
Used to always see rick walking down the rd were we both lived (newton le willows) before he hit the big time, he was always polite and said hello, lovely guy. And great music to...😊
I used to like this back in 1988. The music does sound similar to "Never gonna give you up" But thats just the sound of that era ☺ Check you out singing along 😁
I remember this song and I love his voice, its so distinctive. He was very popular here in the UK, the girls loved him and I love the different instruments that make quite an unusual entrance. I think there are some more good songs from Rick only I can't remember them lol. God bless you all love hugs and peace to everyone Mary-Ellen UK
If you speed this up a bit, on a variable speed record deck , Kylie Minogue stars to sing. It also works if you slow down a Kylie Minogue song, Rick starts to sing.
Listen to Lisa Stanfield; Banarama; The GoGo girls; Fleetwood Mac; The Ohio Players; Lalah Hathaway; Slave; Mary Jane Girls;Cameo ; Patrice Rushen; The Staple Singer
It Would Take a Strong Strong Man, She Wants to Dance With me (arguably the best of the SA&W era), and definitely Cry for Help (with the adorable long hair!) - definitely want to add those in here!
I’ve always thought he has one of the greatest voices of all time. I hope you’ll check out his song ‘Cry For Help.’ It’s a very different song for him.
I still don't believe that's his voice coming out of his face. For years, decades, probably...I thought he looked totally different. Not having MTV in the house growing up has made discovering old music videos such an interesting experience. This song, though! My mom and I used to jam to it. So catchy. Another gem from that era.
You are correct it was a jammer along with Never Gonna Give You Up. They were a pair of billboard number ones in the US. This is my favorite song from him. He has chops that’s for sure. Take me back to undergrad
You should really, really check out "It would take a strong man" by him. It is one of his best, abd quite different from the rest!! Here is the link :th-cam.com/video/VBssFzSx6sI/w-d-xo.html
Nice! Another favorite. His 1st 2 albums have a lot of good songs that I enjoy. You should do Cry For Help, from his 3rd album I believe. That is a soulful song.
This song was one of my mum’s favourite songs! Every time it came on the radio she was dancing and singing along to it 🤗 sadly she passed 14 years ago, but this song reminds me of her every time I hear it, I love it and I miss her so much, but this makes me smile 😊
ricks first few albums were produced by saw team who also worked with kylie minogue. some other great tracks by rick are take me to your heart and my arms keep missing you
I saw Rick Astley in concert,in Philly, and Martika (Check her out) was the opener. I wasn't much into them before but the show was really fun. I knew more songs than I thought from both performers. This was back in the 90's.
He was part of the "Stock aitken waterman" 80's money train which wrote numerous pop music for the performing artists such as.... Kylie Minogue....Rick Astley....Bananarama....Mel and Kim....Donna Summer....Dead or Alive...Divine...Jason Donovan...Brother Beyond....Sinitta...Sonia...Lonnie... Gordon...Hazell Dean... To name a few👍.
The people who produced Rick, Stock Aiken Waterman, had a very familiar sound. If you listen to Kylie, who they produced in her early career, the sound is the same. I love Rick and wanted to marry him so badly ❤️
Rick Astley must have been in the Stock Aitken and Waterman stable - I can imagine a young Kylie Minogue singing this. They knew how to churn out hits, but not how to promote the longevity of the artists, or to develop their talent and brand. With such talent, Rick Astley should have been huge!
Lucky you😊👍🏼 Just had to give back my tickets for Brighton as traveling is still a bit of a problem coming from Germany 😭 Will come over next year for sure💪🏼🤩
Actually this was his THIRD single! The missing link between "Never Gonna Give You Up" (08/87) and this one (03/88) is "Whenever You Need Somebody" (10/87) 😉

You need to listen to "Cry for Help". Beautiful ballad of his.
Yes! Just came to say this. Beautiful song with a choir backing. Different feel from this one.
I second, third, and fourth that!!!
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES & one more YES!!! I, too, came here to beg you to react to this song!

@@MizzInterpreted Exactly! I love the song!
Yes, Cry for Help to hear a different, slower side to Rick Astley.
Classic 80's and his voice is one of the best ever
I know your generation likes to use Rick as a joke, but the man has some serious pipes.
Let's not pretend that the rickroll wasn't invented by adults in the mid-2000s.
I have never seen anyone use him as a joke.
@@saraheart2804 Rickroll is a joke.
Yep
It's been so long since rickrolled was invented, it's not a joke anymore, it's love
Checkout the Graham Norton show were Rick tells the story of how he found out what Rick rolling is.
Stock Aitkin & Waterman produced that’s why they sound similar, they were known in the UK as the ‘hit factory’ & Rick actually started working in their office as a tea boy when he left school
He should react to Bananarama "I Heard a Rumour"
@@timetravellingone Robert De Niro’s Waiting 👏🏻
Shit machine you mean 😉
Hit Factory
@@MikeHarrisHazchem77 my mistake shit factory
Rick has an amazing acoustic cover of the Foo Fighter's song "Everlong", which he recorded last year for TH-cam. Foo Fighters were a big fan of him, and he of them. They even brought him on stage at one of their concerts to perform one of his songs, which is also on TH-cam.
Hearing Foo Fighters sing a Rick Astley song was pretty amazing! Great moment - wish I'd been there.
That was amazing 👏 I heard it recently and he nailed it 👌
Good old Hit Factory - Stock Aitkin and Waterman produced. Same production style across many artists - often pretty much the same tune just with variations in pitch and speed. Repetitive but hugely successful
Check out his other song called Whenever You Need Somebody, She wants to dance, these are great ones from Rick too.❤️👌🎵
And “cry for help”
@@leslapins7617 Oh yes, forgot that one, thx.👍
No joke that song is a jam too!!
Great choices 😉
& Every one of us
His voice is just as rich and smooth today as it was back then too. So glad you like him!!
Sounds similar because its the (SAW) Stock Aitken Waterman sound. They churned out multiple hits in the 80s.
The songs sound a lot alike because they both came off the same album. So they were recorded around the same time. This is favorite of his from this era, along with "It Takes a Strong Man."

They used a formula for writing hits. It worked, but only for a short while for each artist :(
@@miaschu8175 what formula did they used?
Rick Astley is great!
You should try "Cry For Help". It's way different from the previous ones.
But, if you want to dance once more, try "She Wants To Dance With Me". It's a very nice song.
Cheers!
Hey Javaun... trust me...react to Rick Astley "Cry For Help" ...big song in its day... only 1 reaction to it on youtube.... beautiful, awesome song.
Rick's still going strong, and sounding great live
You must react to " Cry for help " it's a totally different side to him, it's a gospel inspired track one of my favourites of his ❤️
Great reaction! Do one to "Cry for Help." It's a whole different vibe 👍
yeah...that's a beautiful song.
Love "Cry for Help". ♥
In my playlist Tiffany- I think we're alone now would be the next song.
I like her cover better than the original.
All the mums had a crush on Rick when I was little 😉😂 He had a full album! I seem to remember a ballad in the charts Cry for Help a little later in his career.
Yes, many women were just as shocked as today when the video first came out and saw him for the first time, they couldn't believe it 😁
Excited to see him live with NKOTB Salt and Peppa for the Mix Tape Tour this is my early teenage years right here 🥰
I've waited long for thissss
I loved him when I was younger, still do. His voice is like butter.
I remember in the 1980s when I was listening to him and my Granny overheard him. She said “he sounds like a modern day Nat King Cole”. She was shocked to hear he was a white bloke from northern England!
You should check out his song Cry For Help, was his breakway song from this sort of rubbish pop :) great reaction as always dude.

Never forget the first time I heard this song. I played it OVER and over again!
The song was written by Stock, Aitkin and Waterman, all their songs sound exactly the same, that is why you think this song is similar to the last Rick Astley song you reacted too lol

Check out Rick's song "Pray". You'll love it too!!!
Another great 80's song is Don't Disturb This Groove by The System. One of my favorites.
OMG I have been wanting to see him react to Don't Disturb This Groove" also. I LOVE that song!!!!
I've always Loved Rick's voice, very rich. ❤️👌
OMG, this is SO 80s 🤣🤣🤣
Try Cry for help or Sleeping, they're a little later with a different vibe, or Angels on my side for a much more recent single.
He’s got a hell of a voice but those dance moves are seriously bad 😆
Weird as hell
It was the 80s.
LOL. He invented 'Dad Dancing'.
I’m going to see Rick tomorrow, he’s doing a gig just covering songs by The Smiths!!!
Enjoy! Very Jealous.. I love the smiths and Rick is a great singer. Coincidentally I'm seeing the Smyths tomorrow night, a great tribute band.
I suggest you checking "Take me to your heart" and "She wants to dance with me" by him.
She Wants To Dance With Me is my favorite
I used to like this back in 1988. The music does sound similar to "Never gonna give you up" But thats just the sound of that era ☺ Check you out singing along 😁
also a lot of songs from a lot of artists sound somewhat like the most recent hit
Rick Astley should remake these in old school R&B style, re-release them and go on tour :D
My Favourite song is Cry for Help, a lovely heartfelt ballad
I remember this song and I love his voice, its so distinctive. He was very popular here in the UK, the girls loved him and I love the different instruments that make quite an unusual entrance. I think there are some more good songs from Rick only I can't remember them lol. God bless you all love hugs and peace to everyone Mary-Ellen UK
he is still popular here, His album 50 is great
We were 14 and my mate looked so like Rick. He sure was popular with the girls in school from then on!
If you speed this up a bit, on a variable speed record deck , Kylie Minogue stars to sing. It also works if you slow down a Kylie Minogue song, Rick starts to sing.
Listen to Lisa Stanfield; Banarama; The GoGo girls; Fleetwood Mac; The Ohio Players; Lalah Hathaway; Slave; Mary Jane Girls;Cameo ; Patrice Rushen; The Staple Singer
Totally loved this song back in the day.His deep voice is so appealing.Thanks for your review.
I’m still crushing on him. Cry For Help is another good one from back in the day. His new stuff, try Pray With Me.
It Would Take a Strong Strong Man, She Wants to Dance With me (arguably the best of the SA&W era), and definitely Cry for Help (with the adorable long hair!) - definitely want to add those in here!
Rick Astley is so pure I love his music
Love me some Rick Astley. Baby face, Man voice.😁
Check "Cry for Help" by Rick Astley. It is a great song.
I’ve always thought he has one of the greatest voices of all time. I hope you’ll check out his song ‘Cry For Help.’ It’s a very different song for him.
Check him out playing with The Foo Fighters - he's still great!
You should do 'Whenever You Need Somebody'. Another banger!
I still don't believe that's his voice coming out of his face. For years, decades, probably...I thought he looked totally different. Not having MTV in the house growing up has made discovering old music videos such an interesting experience. This song, though! My mom and I used to jam to it. So catchy. Another gem from that era.
Listen to him live. He has still got it.
Most positive Singer ever!
Try "Whenever You Need Somebody". Same vive, same delivery, same moves, you'll love it
YAY!! This is awesome! 😁😀
Please listen to one of his new tunes like Every One Of Us or Keep Singing. His own music is even better 🎶👌🏼💗
I know people have said it already but you definitely need to listen to “Cry For Help”.
"She Wants to Dance With Me" is a great Rick Astley tune
You are correct it was a jammer along with Never Gonna Give You Up. They were a pair of billboard number ones in the US. This is my favorite song from him. He has chops that’s for sure. Take me back to undergrad

Jayvee you should react to Kylie Minogue's rendition of the Loco-motion and Rick's version of Whenever You Need Somebody
Nice! Another favorite. His 1st 2 albums have a lot of good songs that I enjoy.
You should do Cry For Help, from his 3rd album I believe. That is a soulful song.
Cry for help is a different and very beautiful one, his vocals on it slays!
it´s a Stock -Aitken- Waterman production like Kylie Minogue or many many others in the 80 with the same beat
This song was one of my mum’s favourite songs! Every time it came on the radio she was dancing and singing along to it 🤗 sadly she passed 14 years ago, but this song reminds me of her every time I hear it, I love it and I miss her so much, but this makes me smile 😊
Think it’s time for you to get Rickrolled again. React to his song “Cry For Help”.
Definitely check out "cry for help" my favourite Rick Astley song.
If you can find his version of When I Fall in Love. His voice totally reminds me of Nat King Cole.
Check out Rick Astley's beautiful ballad "Cry for Help."
From Experience... either a STalker or a Player. LOL
He found the fame hard and gave up his career but thank goodness he has made a successful comeback in recent yrs and his voice is still as strong
This song reach no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1988
It’s a Stock Aitken Waterman production. All intros are the same lol
Good choice jayy🤎🤎✌🏾✌🏾
Also Take Me To Your Heart and his comeback album from about 4 years ago when he turned 50. Fantastic.
Yeah watch "Cry for help", bit of a different sound
I like his voice.
ricks first few albums were produced by saw team who also worked with kylie minogue. some other great tracks by rick are take me to your heart and my arms keep missing you
Hanson & Davis-Hungry For Your Love
I love this song, his deep voice is just great. What a talent. Glad you love it Jovaughn.
My favorite Rick Astley song.
Love this song ❤️🌹

Yup "Cry for Help" is unbelievable!
Check out Rick guesting with the Foo Fighters.
I never got some got up end Never let him down 😏
Just a few months ago he posted a cover of My Girl by The Temptations on his channel.
He was part of the "Stock aitken waterman" 80's money train which wrote numerous pop music for the performing artists such as....
Kylie Minogue....Rick Astley....Bananarama....Mel and Kim....Donna Summer....Dead or Alive...Divine...Jason Donovan...Brother Beyond....Sinitta...Sonia...Lonnie... Gordon...Hazell Dean... To name a few👍.
She wants to dance with me is in awesome song
You should listen to his newer song from about 4-5 years ago "Angels on my Side" - great song, great beat, and he sounds as amazing as ever!
I saw him when he was the support act for Take That a few years ago……I love his new music too 🎶
This whole album is amazing. It was the first CD I purchased back in the day.
Get it, JV! Get it! 🕺🕴️🕺🕴️🕺🕴️
From the same album as "Never Gonna Give You Up" (1987), what a song. One of the best ever.
The people who produced Rick, Stock Aiken Waterman, had a very familiar sound. If you listen to Kylie, who they produced in her early career, the sound is the same. I love Rick and wanted to marry him so badly ❤️

Am seeing him live in Brighton, UK on 6th November 😍😍
Lucky you😊👍🏼
Just had to give back my tickets for Brighton as traveling is still a bit of a problem coming from Germany 😭
Will come over next year for sure💪🏼🤩
Yeah he was a great one! Who would ever thought there`s such a huge voice within such a lil guy, right! God bless..
I loved this song..great times x
"Whenever you need somebody"
I'm pretty sure I suggested this song when you did the last one.
Actually this was his THIRD single! The missing link between "Never Gonna Give You Up" (08/87) and this one (03/88) is "Whenever You Need Somebody" (10/87) 😉
