Teddy is the best! Love all his original music and his voice is something else - just saw him in concert and he sounds the same!! His new single is climbing the charts and I’m so happy for him. ❤
Bonnie Raitt made the song famous but it was originally written and sung by songwriter and former professional football defensive tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals, Mike Reid. What a career change! Thank you, Alex for the recommendation; Teddy's version is truly beautiful. As always, I appreciate you. Nick .❤
I only discovered Teddy a couple of years ago. You don't expect that soulful voice coming out of him. He does a great cover of this Bonnie Raitt song. Also like his version of Shania Twain's song "You're Still The One". He does a lot of covers but also has original music.
I love this so much. It always reminds me of my daughters boyfriend who was just over-the-moon in love with her and she tried so hard to return the feelings but they just weren't there. He has everything (outwardly) - status, power, money...everything she could ever want but she just-didn't-feel it. You can't force your feelings. They just are what they are. 😢 Heartbreaking.
I just discovered Teddy a couple of weeks ago, he just released a new album and I'm telling you every song is a amazing, such as Loose Control, the Door, he is my new favorite artist, he looks completely different, not sure how long ago that he performed this , but his version is definitely moving
Although Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin wrote the song they immediately gave the song to Bonnie Raitt who was the first to record it. There is her poignant, heartfelt, bittersweet version and then there is everyone else.
NICK, my man! YESSS! Love me some Teddy Swims. He is busting through the scene. His voice reminds me a little of Luther Vandross BUT he’s definitely made a name for himself all on his own! I’m so happy you did this and loved it! I could give you a list on where to go next with him but I won’t, don’t worry. lol. You can’t go wrong with any of his songs. Keep shining my guy✨
Oooo great request Alex. Such a great cover by Teddy Swims 3 fun facts about the original 1. Bonnie Raitt recorded the vocals on the original in 1 take 2. Bruce Hornsby is the man on the piano in the OG 3. Original was written by ex NFL player Mike Reid. Not often you have someone so successful go on to be a thriving writer as well
Please don't take this as an insult but I love when you react to an amazing artist it shows on your face...you kind of get a blush....which I did the first time I heard Tim Foust of Home Free's bass....I could feel myself blushing.
THIS IS NOT A SONG REQUEST lol -- this is just a 'make your life better' request for anyone that happens to read this -- If you are a Teddy fan I'm sure you've listened to it, but "Someone You Loved" his Lewis Capaldi cover. None of the reactors usually do this one, even though it does have 26mil views on YT, but it's just unreal incredible. If you haven't heard it, just do it, believe some random guy on YT.
Nick, this is a huge miss! Much like many “cover artists” are for reactors. Home Free and others keep y’all from witnessing the absolute Greatness of the original… Please react to: Bonnie Raitt - I Can’t Make You Love Me

This song... lived it several times. I guess Love isn't meant for everyone. This song says it best and Teddy is awesome.

Mama, I hope you’re doing well! Appreciate you so much. The Mike Reid fact is so randomly amazing!
MIKE REID 'S VOICE WAS AMAZING AND HIS LONG FORGOTTEN CD, WHICH I HAVE IS SO GORGEOUS. TEDDY AND HIS BAND OWN MY HEART.

Teddy's voice is pure fire. Highly recommend "Sara Smile" cover with Teddy Swims and Allen Stone. WOW!
Saw this for the first time at the beginning of the pandemic and was floored by his voice. Amazing

An all time favorite - Teddy does it.......
I love Teddy 🧸 you wouldn't think that voice would come out of him 😅
Hi Nick, I am definitely fan of Teddy swims. He has a soulful voice...Peace🤙☝️😌
He’s a beast vocally. Straight emotion. If you like this you would love Yebba My mind. It will leave you breathless.

TEDDY NEEDS TO SING THIS WITHBONNIE RAIT. CAN YOU IMAGINE?

3 fun facts about the original
1. Bonnie Raitt recorded the vocals on the original in 1 take
2. Bruce Hornsby is the man on the piano in the OG
3. Original was written by ex NFL player Mike Reid. Not often you have someone so successful go on to be a thriving writer as well
Oh wow, number 3 is so random!
@nickforellreacts right!? I was stunned to learn that myself
I like your analysis of the meaning of the song.
WOW, what a version of this song. His voice is really something, teared me up almost immediately

Yo Nick, drop the skincare routine. You're positively GLOWING!
Just discovered this fellow myself a couple of months ago....incredible!!! For a more playful side, try his video "Broke" featuring Thomas Rhett! :)
Love me some Teddy
Before you go to his original stuff, check out a couple more covers. Like Tennessee Whiskey or Use Me or Rock With You
Please check out his song ,Lose Control .

Check out Rag'n'Bone man "Human". I'm betting that you will love him. He has an incredible voice!!
Great Song However Check out the original singer Bonnie Raitt singing this song
Nick, this is a huge miss! Much like many “cover artists” are for reactors. Home Free and others keep y’all from witnessing the absolute Greatness of the original…
Please react to: Bonnie Raitt - I Can’t Make You Love Me
I love Bonnie's version, but the original song was written and recorded by Mike Reid. Bonnie made it famous, though, without a doubt.
It’s the best version ever. I like George Michael’s version but this is better.
