This is one of my favorites. I think you'd also love "For Your Eyes Only." I can't be sure, but the word Amber was trying to think of could be "modulate." Another great reaction!!! 🥰
Sheena Easton had one of the purest voices you could ever hear in the 80's. There are many versions of this song done live by Sheena that are incredible, and awesome. Many people talk about her James Bond song from the movie For Your Eyes Only, and to me its the best Bond song ever. But this song, Almost Over You, is an amazing song and Sheena sings it to perfection. I am glad you guys reacted to this classic!
Sheena is one of the most underrated singers ever. She has a vast catalogue of beautiful ballads and pop songs you should continue to explore. "The Lover In Me", "For Your Eyes Only", "Strut", and "Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)" would be just scraping the surface!
Sheena Easton was the first Reality TV break-out star Born in Bellshill, South Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1959, Sheena Orr (her maiden name) earned a scholarship to attend the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. While taking classes from 1975 to 1979, she sang at night with a band. She was married for a short time in 1979; though she divorced her husband, she decided to keep her new last name, Easton. A tutor suggested that she audition for Esther Rantzen, who produced The Big Time for the BBC. The Big Time took people with potential in a particular area and helped them try to achieve fame or make a career while a camera crew documented their lives; earlier subjects had included a gymnast aspiring to be a trapeze artist, a comedian, and a prospective professional wrestler. Easton took a shot, and was chosen for the show. The rest is history!
Just a crystal clear, smooooth, and classy voice from Sheena Easton! I agree: one of the James Bond themes by her: For Your Eyes Only is a great one by her!! HUGS, YA'LL!!!
FINALLY!!! Been waiting for you two to listen to this one! This song really shows off her singing!! This is just ONE of many awesome Sheena hits you haven't listened to yet! More big hits from her - "You Could Have Been With Me" "Strut" "For Your Eyes Only" (a James Bond theme) "Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)" "When He Shines" "Modern Girl" Two songs written and produced for her by Prince - "Sugar Walls" and "101" Two songs produced by Babyface for her - "The Lover In Me" and "No Deposit, No Return" I hope that you eventually listen to them all! PS - Saw her live several times and THAT is her real voice. No studio effects - her voice is that amazing live.
I had a crush on her from the first I saw/heard her performing the theme song of the James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only. Y’all need to do that one next! Beautiful voice, beautiful lady!!❤❤❤
Sheena is an amazing singer, I feel like she's very underrated too. Everybody knows 9 to 5 (Morning Train), most people write her off as just being another pop singer but she's got so much more than that. "For Your Eyes Only" is a must (another James Bond theme), and if you enjoyed this one then you have to check out "I Wouldn't Beg For Water" as it's very much the same style of song.
Sheena was really good friends with Prince. He wrote a handful of songs for her to sing. "Sugar Walls" and "You Got the Look" were 2 of her bigger hits written with Prince.
Always been a fan of her more up-tempo stuff, like "Sugar Walls", but I'd forgotten how incredible of pure vocalist she was with the ballad tunes like this one!
Sheena's Sugar Walls is a Prince song, while For Your Eyes Only is her best ballad, a James Bond theme. She was also in the Prince U Got the Look video.
Love this. Thank you for giving Sheena her due. She's largely been forgotten as far as having one of the best female voices. Her Prince song 101 is a different sound altogether. Much more urgent vocal approach to fit the lyrics, and very cool production. For another ballad, I Wouldn't Beg For Water, Weekend in Paris, Wind Beneath My Wings are all good. Sugar Walls is interesting, I think another Prince-penned song about sex that was very suggestive from a top 40 female singer at the time. Her voice did well in several pop genres. Anyway, thanks again. This was a treat and definitely may me smile.
If you want to see Sheena's Story, and how she came to be discovered, Look for a BBC TV Show called "The Big Time" Hosted by Esther Rantzen, Broadcast in the 80s.
omg what a voice. ive always loved her from the first time i heard her on for your eyes only to her epic ballad with Kenny Rogers weve got tonight. Arent we lucky that we grew up in the 80s where all this incredible authentic talent existed and there was such sensitivity and tenderness in the music?
This shows her heart. That’s probably why I love her version of Wind Beneath My Wings…she has no need to embellish to make you feel the heart of the lyric. I also adore When He Shines and I Wouldn’t Beg For Water.
❤Ahem! You know there is another 9 to 5 written and performed by Dolly. It would be a great Friday pick along with the movie 9 TO 5 staring Dolly, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. Sheena Easton has a gorgeous voice and Strut is 🔥🔥🔥
One of my absolute all time favorite singers. I've been a fan since she started and have everything of hers but 2 CDs that were not released in the U.S. . Thank you guys for getting on the Sheena bandwagon! Enjoy the ride down this amazing rabbit hole!
@@beerbratscheese1230 They metioned Janet Jackson in the first video, so I figured they played them out of order. "Let's Wait Awhile" is the song. That's another great one!!!
Here's some Sheena Easton trivia for you. She sang the title track for the James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only." She is the only James Bond title singer that appears in the song.
Sheena Easton was a real singer's singer with a lot of nuance, wide range, and crystal clear tone. She was the first pop music, power ballad belter who paved the way for later belter divas like Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and Mariah Carey who came years after her. You should hear "You Could Have Been with Me", by Sheena, as well.
I was head over heels for Sheena Easton back in the day. I have all her albums and a bunch of singles too. I've also had the privilege of seeing her in concert twice. Absolutely amazing voice who defined the power ballad during the 1980s. Other songs to definitely check out include her version of "Wind Beneath My Wings," "For Your Eyes Only" (the theme from the James Bond), "101" (one of several collaborations with Prince), and "When He Shines."
You guys NEED to listen to Barbra Streisand especially her younger days because Babs had that type of range. She still has it in a more matured fashion but especially in her early movies, Funny Girl (Don't Rain on My Parade), Hello Dolly! (Before the Parade Passes By). Also check our her duet with the great Judy Garland, Happy Days Are Here Again/Come On Get Happy.
Ya'll have to check Sugar walls & strut on live on Soul Train. Ooh & U Got The Look w/Prince. You won't believe it could work...until you see it😊. You'll be shocked.
You guys are Soo wise beyond your years, for you 2 to pick up on Soo much details as far as voice, instrumental & words. You 2 are old souls. Us, old folks appreciate that you can enjoy our generations music.
Had a huge crush on Sheena Easton. She is Scottish and listening to her speak makes me smile. She is absolutely beautiful but a voice that is surreal. And what a style she had back in the 80's. She was the definition of 80's style. This is a beautiful song. Check out "Strut", "The Lover in Me" and "For Your Eyes Only (James Bond soundtrack)", "Sugar Wall (written by Prince)".
I don't remember this one. I asked my wife if she knew the title, she says she didn't remember. But when it started playing she sang every word after not hearing it since the 80's! Impressive!
Sheena Easton and Paula Abdul are my two favorite female crushes from the 198o's. And here they are together on the same Female Friday. Let's say we give these two some future consideration for songs like, MY LOVE IS FOR REAL, BLOWING KISSES IN THE WIND, and VIBEOLOGY by Paula. Followed by Sheena pumping up the pop magic with STRUT, SWEAR, and WHAT COMES NATURALLY. Can we finally get a some Garbage on the channel. Shirley Manson and are long past due to make their appearance. I'M ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS and STUPID GIRL promise not to disappoint. You guys are doing great. Keep going.
Speaking of Kenny Rogers and the 80s, you have to check out his song he did with Kim Carnes and James Ingram called What About Me? Also, you need to do his duets with Dottie West, What Are We Doing In Love and I Feel Sorry for Anyone Who Isn't Me Tonight.
She has such a phenomenal voice. One of the strongest female artist of the 80s. For another incredible female voice of the 80s check out Syreeta and her duet with Billy Preston With You Im Born Again. Also more from the 90s: Oleta Adams. For Sheena Easton check out the James Bond movie hit by her For Your Eyes Only
Absolutely love this beautiful talented woman. When i think of Sheena i cant help but think of Miami Vice 😊. For Your Eyes Only is another awesome pick 🕊️💜
Morning Train was her first big hit, and Modern Girl and Sugar Walls were others. She also sang For Your Eyes Only for the James Bond movie.
Sheena was always under rated. I love her. Her Scottish accent is fabulous.
She didn’t seem underrated in the 80’s. She was very popular. Her voice is amazing and sensitive. So much emotion and power.
That was the only thing good about her, was her Scottish accent. JMO
For Your Eyes Only is a wonderful song!
This is one of my favorites. I think you'd also love "For Your Eyes Only." I can't be sure, but the word Amber was trying to think of could be "modulate." Another great reaction!!! 🥰
Jay & Amber, you'll love her "For Your Eyes Only", "Strut" and "Sugar Walls"!!!
Yes I Agree 💯
She and Bob Seger "We've got Tonight "❤❤❤❤❤
@@kimlooff2401didn’t she do it with Kenny Rogers
And The Look with Prince!
@@scottevans7314 they did U Got The Look Sep 21, 2022.
*For Your Eyes Only* the epitome of a Sheena Easton power ballad
"You Could Have Been With Me" is another beautiful ballad from Sheena Easton you might like.
Great song.
Yesssss!
@Jay @Amber: yes pleeeeeease! I'd love to see your reaction to You Could Have Been With Me
@@ddwm_mua 👍
Possibly my favourite of hers, it's beautiful and showcases her range. Fabulous song.

When He Shines.... is another great song by Shenna, her vocal abilities are really great.
"Strut" by Sheena Easton. Pure '80s goodness, and one that will definitely get you moving.
You'll need to find a video with the lyrics, very important for "Strut".
Sheena is one of the most underrated singers ever. She has a vast catalogue of beautiful ballads and pop songs you should continue to explore. "The Lover In Me", "For Your Eyes Only", "Strut", and "Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)" would be just scraping the surface!
one of my all time faves of hers s "So Far So Good" from the movie "....About Last Night". Along with "Natural Love" from the same soundtrack
These are recommendations: "So Far So Good" "Natural Love" and she was nominated for a Grammy with "Telephone". Have fun guys
For Your Eyes Only is my favorite song from her.
"For Your Eyes Only" is absolutely beautiful. Enough to be a Bond song.
I swear she is underrated.
Sheena Easton she is awesome

Love "For your eyes ònly"
oh same here! and her accent on the late night talk shows...god I could've heard her just talk for hours...her voice was just off the charts...
@@barryg4927Completely agree!
@@barryg4927I could listen to her talk with her accent all day
HO-LEE crap! I haven't heard this song since the 80's and it took me back with so much strength and vitality. This is such a powerful, yet sad, song.

My 16 yr old self played this about 1000 times when this came out. I have not heard this in awhile. Still so good.
She’s fabulous, such a beautiful voice! ♥️♥️🌺🌹
Strut and Sugar Walls
4:54 "Wow, Sheena!! Right, that's what we're saying. Sheena's voice is legendary. So cool to see your appreciation for this beautiful vocalist!
shes so fricking beautiful that is hard concentrate on her voice which is amazing .
For your eyes only . James Bond movie theme. Is a must hear from Sheena 😊
The song that made me fall in love with her music…and is one of my all time fave 007 movies.
@@KittCrescendo ...and with her 😍😍
My 2nd favorite Bond song ever. very closed behind Adele's
If you love how Sheena sings ballads, then you'll love her tackle Prince written material such as '101' or 'Sugar Walls'
Sugar Walls is so nasty...
@@JayH-tz4ipbecause Prince. 😂
I love 101
They did Sugar Walls back in 2021, but it got blocked. Guess they forgot about it.
@@JayH-tz4ip Haha!! That was my first thought verbatim!!!
I Have All Her Hits, Great Singer, Great Voice,Love This Beautiful Gorgeous Woman ❤
Love her voice
OMG!! I forgot about this one. WOW! Rob Squad family never disappoints. An underrated song from her is '' You Could Have Been With Me ''
Love Sheena Easton, the 80s would not be complete without her. Loved her duets with Kenny Rogers and Prince. A great artist she is.
There Will Be Days Like This, The Lover In You. Great songs by Sheena Easton.❤❤❤
She’s a gem!❤
Sheena was really good friends with Prince. He wrote a handful of songs for her to sing. "Sugar Walls" and "You Got the Look" were 2 of her bigger hits written with Prince.
Amazing singing ability.
This is one of her best, even though it is sad. One could feel the emotion enough to make us cry, but enjoy her beautiful voice ❤

I have every album... Sheena is a favorite female singer. She had some brilliant tunes.
Sheena Easton is Perfect !!!!!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Beautiful song and I loved your reactions and facial expressions on hearing her voice
For me, When He Shines is her finest composition. Utterly sublime.

I second "9 To 5"!!!
Yes, they are thinking of Morning Train.
I love Sheena's other song "You Could've Been With Me"
The moment i found this song...oh my! Fell instantly..i can't get enough of this song❤
My favorite song of hers. So sweet and emotional….
Sheena was amazing. O wish she had done more music in this style.
One of my absolute all time favorite singers. I've been a fan since she started and have everything of hers but 2 CDs that were not released in the U.S. . Thank you guys for getting on the Sheena bandwagon! Enjoy the ride down this amazing rabbit hole!
My favorite Sheena Easton song!!! Now if the 3rd song today is "AGAIN" by Janet Jackson, you will have a TERRIFIC Female Friday trifecta!!! 😎
I'm personally pulling for a little Gloria Estefan or Whitney Houston, but I guess we'll see.
@@beerbratscheese1230 They metioned Janet Jackson in the first video, so I figured they played them out of order. "Let's Wait Awhile" is the song. That's another great one!!!

Her best power song is her James Bond theme song For Your Eyes Only. Her voice will blow you away on this song (massive hit).
Now you gotta do "Strut." Such a good song. And it shows her wild, liberated, funky side.

Beautiful voice and had such a great run of outstanding songs.
"For Your Eyes Only." From my favorite childhood move next to Raiders of the Lost Ark👍👍👍
React to Strut by Sheena Easton next. My favorite from her.
Sheena Easton and Paula Abdul are my two favorite female crushes from the 198o's. And here they are together on the same Female Friday. Let's say we give these two some future consideration for songs like,
MY LOVE IS FOR REAL,
BLOWING KISSES IN THE WIND,
and VIBEOLOGY by Paula.
Followed by Sheena pumping up the pop magic with STRUT,
SWEAR, and
WHAT COMES NATURALLY.
Can we finally get a some Garbage on the channel. Shirley Manson and are long past due to make their appearance.
I'M ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS and STUPID GIRL promise not to disappoint.
You guys are doing great. Keep going.
Definitely react to Sugar Walls by Sheena Easton it was written by Prince
This performance and Linda Ronstadot’s “Long long time” are the best female vocals, I’ve ever heard.
Speaking of Kenny Rogers and the 80s, you have to check out his song he did with Kim Carnes and James Ingram called What About Me? Also, you need to do his duets with Dottie West, What Are We Doing In Love and I Feel Sorry for Anyone Who Isn't Me Tonight.

Absolutely love this beautiful talented woman. When i think of Sheena i cant help but think of Miami Vice 😊. For Your Eyes Only is another awesome pick 🕊️💜
She has an amazing voice and is so underrated.
I had that exact hairstyle at that time!!! Always loved this one but kinda forgot about it till today. Great job yall!!!
the other one I like is "Morning Train"
