Yes, our German national 80s pop treasure! But she was also very successful in France (due to the fact that she was born near to the border of France). The producer and composer was her ex-husband Michael Cretu from Romania. The background vocalist is Hubert Kah (not the one in the video!) who also had a huge success in the early 80s in the New German Wave (Neue Deutsche Welle) era. After that era he sang in English, I recommend "Limousine" and "Military drums". Sandra had hits until the early 90s, my favourites are "Heaven can wait" (I´m sure you will love the bass in this...), "Around my heart", "Secret land", "Little girl" and "We´ll be together". But her biggest hit was of course her first one: "Maria Magdalena"... I had the luck to see her live twice as a kid...
@@TheFranki54 That´s absolutely fine, I can understand it. It´s the other side with Patricia Kaas: her mother was German (but for me she´s a French singer through and through..)
It's hard to find Sandra reactions on youtube. I'm glad someone finally did it, and of course it's you. 😉 Shows that you don't just copy other channels and that you have great followers and patrons.
yes was time for my fav female singer for the 80s , Sandra , so many 80s hits from her , Maria Magdalena , Heaven can wait , we'll be together , secret land and so many many years , thanks Derek
Yep, she is married to the keyboard player who did start the Enigma project but I believe is also the founder of Gregorian th-cam.com/video/8JFGdH5wgCs/w-d-xo.html
Hi from Spain! Wau so many comments on our Pop Queen Sandra.. I have been a fan since Maria Magdalena! I even had the Sandra Spanish Fan club. I met Sandra many times but the first time I was 16 back in 1990. She and the productions of Michael Cretu made her a very special unique Sandra sound style..together with the naturality of her own. She is just Fantastic and she lives in my country in Ibiza.
Not really, Sandra and her husband Michael Cretu, later formed the group Enigma in 1990, which reached global success. Even in this early 1985 Europop song, you can hear some of their familiar trademarks (like the melodic chandelier and the marching band drums) in Engima's future tracks.
Sandra !!! Amazing voice !! She gives me thrills !! All over my body !!! She s wonderful ! All her albums !! Close to seven ...wheel of time ...stay in touch ...PUR JEWEL
Oh, boy, I was a fan of her in the 80's. Bought all her vinyls back then. Thanks for reacting. Sandra is still touring in East European countries, and is very popular in Russia.
You've just made my Friday! One of my favourite singers, and this is such a good song Co-written and produced by Michael Cretu who would go on to form Enigma (and marry Sandra).
@@mikekaraoke So should I have mentioned that she had children too etc? It was a piece of information that I thought Dereck may be interested in because of Enigma. Have a lovely day
@@RichSouthend All i was saying was-as you mentioned her being married, would of been best to of said about her divorce or he would of thought they were still married! Didn't comment to start to fall out with anyone! Have a nice day also, wherever your from?
Greetings from France Dereck ! Sandra was actually considered as the European Madonna throughout the 80's and early 90's. She was produced by her then husband Michael Cretu who gained international fame as a composer by creating the project Enigma, back in 1990, with the the major first hit "Sadeness part 1" which topped the charts everywhere, so as "Return to Innocence" in 1993, "Beyond the Invisible" in 1996, "Gravity of Love" in 2000...The debut album "MCMXC a.d" is still the album to date that stayed more than 2 years in the US billboard. You should react to this wonderful and unique mixture of electronic, religious and ethnic samples, lot of sensuality also but with strong beats most of the time. Michael Cretu sold like 70 million albums with Enigma and 20 with Sandra plus 10 million with various projects in Germany where he studied music. Enigma is so unique you can find fans from all over the world on their TH-cam channel. Enjoy !!
Thank you for reacting to the great 80”s Euro Icon “Sandra” she was married to the German/Romanian music producer Michael Cretu , creator of the Gragoeian /pop/Chill Group “ENIGMA” and that’s why all female vocals on Enigma songs are by Sandra
Her success start from Greece, in the summer when her song maria Magdalena start playlist in the islands of mykonos and Santorini, and after that Europe get to know her .
You finally did it. I was looking forward to this and I was 100% sure that one day you would react to a song by Sandra. This is just the beginning because I'm sure you will like more songs from this great singer of the 80s. We will surely advise you to react to her biggest hit (i'll never be) Maria Magdalena. what a pleasure you can give me by having reacted so quickly to validate this song. Well done and continue to surprise us as always in the choice of your songs.
Que bien!!!, Sin duda esa década fue de inflexión e influencia para todo lo que se ha hecho con posterioridad. Que década prodigiosa, gracias por recordarla.🌟🌟🌟
La década olvidada!! La de los noventa fué infame en cuanto a creación y fué totalmente comercial en cuanto a producción musical. Hasta hoy es la que influye realmente !! Por algo la magia ya no fué la misma en la música después de los queridos '80s. Saludos
Sandra was the most successful female European pop singer of the 80s... Very famous in Latin America too...Follow this Sandra career journey because you will discover other 80s classics such as "María Magdalena", "Heaven Can wait", "Hiroshima", "Secret land", "little Girl", "Loreen" ... among many others
Derek! Thank you so much for bringing my favourite Singer back on a stage! Thank you for that amazing feedback to that totally underrated Artist! For that you always will have place in my heart on on my Abos! :-) thank you buddy! 😘
I discovered Sandra a few years ago. This is definitely one of my favourites. I suggest you listen to Modern Talking 'You're My Heart, You're My Soul' . Another 80s favourite of mine 😊👍
the problem with Modern Talking was that they played their songs to nosebleed everywhere at least in my native country, Hungary in the mid '80's. it was way too much
Sandra was huge here in Germany from around 1985 til about 1993. She started out doing this power pop. Later in the 80s moving into a more sensual grown up pop sound before she got experimental in 1990 with her biggest album Paintings In Yellow moving into ambient, lounge and a more alternative pop sound. 1992 she released a more electronic album called Close To Seven which went top 10 as well. She continued to release music, her last German top 10 album was in 2002. There are so many songs, videos, hits that are worth checking out. This was really just when she was starting out, her second single. it's great but she got way more sophisticated stuff along the way. Some suggestions: Secret Land Around My Heart Hiroschima We'll Be Together Johnny Wanna Live One More Night Don't Be Aggressive Love Turn To Pain
Ah Germany-love Germany, was last in Düsseldorf a few years ago! But was last in Germany last march to Stuttgart. And then travelled to Rust one of my fav Theme Parks in the world(you know where i'm going to say)-Europa Park for 2 days :-) I'm from the UK in England. have you been?? Where i Germany you from?
@@Marc-zi5cq Oh nice-when i was last there as well- i did a day trip to Bochum as less than an hour away as you know. And saw Starlight Express-seen that a few times in Germany over the years! So have you been to the UK before??
sandra was very successful in germany. between 1985 and 1992 she had 4 top 5 hits, 8 top ten hits and 5 top 20 hits in germany. with the song maria magdalena wR in 1985 she was number 1 in 26 countries. from 1990 she took over the whispering voice at enigma a music project by her husband at the time michael cretu. sandra tried to be successful in the usa at the time. she gave concerts in new york, but unfortunately the success in usa did not materialize. nice that you like the title.
Such fantastic sound! Look up Maria Magdalena, Stop for a minute, Everlasting love, Heaven can wait, Secret land. To start with. The list of hits from Sandra is long!
Finally Sandra! The german Pop Princess!!! Her husband Michael Cretu, is a true Master and produced a lot of her music. React to "Secret Land" and "Around my heart".
Just to give you some information on the music video, because you wanted to know how things went behind the scenes: The video was shot in an old Coca Cola factory in November/December 1985. As said by Sandra herself, it was snowing outside whilst on the set the crew worked with dry ice to make it look like the clip was set in a sauna/bathhouse. I hope this clears thing up for you. ;) Great video, by the way.
I really am glad that I discovered you and you're liking of Sandra and other various artists from the '80s you have great taste and you're very entertaining
It's so cool you reacted to Sandra. You don't get to see much Sandra reactions on TH-cam and she has a lot of great hits: (I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena, Everlasting Love, Loreen, Little Girl, Hiroshima, Secret Land, We'll Be Together, Hi! Hi! Hi!, Midnight Man, One More Night, Secrets of Love and even more recent stuff from her such as Maybe Tonight, Infinite Kiss, etc. I'm looking forward to more Sandra reactions.
The video was filmed in an old Coca Cola factory and it was winter. It was ice cold and the vapor is not hot water ;-) At 01:34 you can see her breath in the cold.
Each time you listen to a song by Sandra you know it's bound ti be an instant classic. "Everlasting Love", "Maria Magdalena", "Secret Land", "We'll be together", "Hi hi hi", "Don't Cry - the break up of the world", "Hey, little girl" etc
Finally a reaction to one of europes most successful female singers, still most sold records for a female artist from germany with more than 30 million. Almost 30 singles charted in the german top 100. every album charted in the top 100. you should check out more songs: Secret Land, One more night, Everlasting Love, Stop for a minute, Don't Be Aggressive
Sandra is one of my favorite singers of all time! Recommend you listen to her other great songs: Secret Land Stop For The Minute Heaven Can Wait One More Night Johnny Wanna Live Seal It Forever Forgive Me Such A Shame Forever And her appearance in ENIGMA: Sadeness Mea Culpa (album verison) I Love You... I'll Kill You Age Of Loneliness T.N.T. For The Brain
Мне сегодня подарила мама на день рождения виниловые пластинки, в том числе среди пластинок была Сандра. Я не знал кто это такая (ну может знакомо будет многим из музыки тех времён, когда слышал эти песни и не раз, а как называется группа или исполнитель не знаешь), но когда включил понял, что эти песни я слышал. Сижу теперь заслушиваю до дыр, очень приятные ностальгические песни из детства. Особенно с пластинки 1988 года (пластинка в СССР была выпущена) музыка как будто звучит совсем по другому, чем через приложение в телефоне.
Hi Derek! I'm glad you finally made a reaction to Sandra! Her songs are gorgeous! It was popular in the USSR and remains very popular in Russia now. I recommend Maria Magdalena Innocent love Midnight man Don't Cry (there is a video from the studio, and there is an interesting clip from a fan in black and white) Secret land We'll be together Around my heart Hiroshima Don't be aggressive Everlasting love Haven can wait Forever
Formidable, c'est une de mes chanteuse favorite des années 80, merci Dereck. Elle fait aussi partie d'un groupe vers la fin des années 70 qui s'appelait Arabesque " In for a penny in for a pound " et " Friday Night" c'était plutôt Disco et au début des années 90 elle faisait partie d'un autre groupe Enigma avec des chansons cultes depuis, accompagné de chant grégorien, orientale entre autre " Sadeness ", " Mea Culpa ".
The 80s were amazing:) You should isten to the extended 5mins version of this. The solo starts with an accoustic guitar, goes into an electric guitar and then moves into a synth solo. One of the best solos/bridges i have ever heard in my life.
Her closest rival from Germany is C.C.Catch, would be interesting to see your reaction to her songs such as "Soul survivor", "Heaven & Hell" & "Heartbreak hotel".
Dereck, Sandra has been very successful in Europe with various hits, she was a queen of German dance. She is the narrator and sensual voice of the Enigma project ;-)
I was a fan ( and still am I ) and I think you chose her best song to new ears even if I like some of hers even more. She had many hits worlwide except in UK and USA. But she had a number one in USA with her band ENigma in 91. The title was 'Sadness'. But I suggest you to listen to ENigma's second worldwide hit 'Mea culpa orthodox mix' . Thanks for your reactions Derek it's good to share good vibrations.
I’ll never be Maria Magdalena You’re a creature of the night Maria Magdelena You’re a victim of the fight, you need love Promise me delight You need looooove ... lol
Alphaville, Modern Talking to stay in Germany... And after you have to discover Italo Disco style with lots of bands from Italy in the eighties... Fun Fun, Ken Lazlo, Miko Mission... So many songs. Thanks from France
Yeah. I liked Ken Lazlo, all the others, and Jeanne Mas, Indochine and others. Hey hey guy, really cool.. Do you really have to make this about nationalities? So sad. Thanks from Germany.
OMG OMG OMG Sandra LOVE her, you need to react to Maria Magdalena, Stop For A Minute, Hiroshima, Heaven Can Wait and these songs by her then husband who produced all her stuff up until early 2000s Michael Cretu with Samurai, Gambit & Silver Water & 2 songs he did with Manfred Theirs called Snowing Under My Skin & a cover of Schools Out under the name Cretu & Theirs. I have all of her albums on CD , and all the albums she did with the girl group she was in before she went solo Arabesque look them up very Boney M ish. The bloke singing is called Hubert Kemmler who was in the group Hubert Kah which you need to react to their song Limousine
Dereck Sandra was so successful in Brazil that she played more on the radio than Madonna and Cyndi Layper. Her first album The Long Play, had 8 songs, 7 of them reached the first position in the charts of all radios. Her biggest hits here were (I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena Heartbeat (That's Emotion) In the Heat of the Night On the Tray (Seven Years) Little Girl You And I Change Your Mind Hi! Hi! Hi! Don't Cry (The Breakup of the World) You'll Be Mine Innocent Love Loreen Midnight Man Everlasting Love Stop for a Minute Heaven Can Wait Secret Land We'll Be Together Around My Heart Just Like Diamonds Crazy Juliet La Vista De Luna Hiroshima (Life May Be) A Big Insanity One More Night Paintings In Yellow Don't Be Aggressive Johnny Wanna Live Maria Magdalena '93 Nights in White Satin Secret Land '99 Remix In 1990 he joined the Enigma project had several hit songs, here are 3 of them Sadeness (Part I) Mea Culpa (Part II) Return to Innocence After a while he returned to his solo career with a greatest hits album and a remix album of his greatest hits with remixes in the dance music style. Hugs my friend
There used to be blue screen before the green screen. They definitely had it back in the 1980s, maybe even 1970s. The technology wasn't as refined as it is now, so often you could see some artefacts on the edge where the person is.
Thanks Derek, I really like your videos. I'm French and I was happy to see your reactions to Mylène Farmer. Sandra Cretu Lauer is my second favorite singer, I recommend her album " Close to seven " released in 1992 with 2 songs by Sandra" Don't be aggressive "and" I need love ". Good video ;) .
In 1986 to 87, I was an exchange student in Germany. I was introduced to Sandra and fell in love. Two of my favorite songs by Sandra are, Loreen and Hey Little Girl. I have her greatest hits and still jam to it today!
Since u have discovered this 80s synth gem, please react to Sandras 1st mega hit Maria Magdalena, Heaven can wait, Innocent love and her producer Michael Cretu’s hit Samurai! You will be blown away!!!

I love so much Sandra !! Close to 7 …wheel of time …art of love and stay and touch …great And

"Maria Magdalena" from she, is great too 👌 ❤️ kikoo Dereck 😗✌️
I was a teenager in the 80s and am now in my 50s. I still love this music and love that younger people like it too!
Мне сегодня подарила мама на день рождения виниловые пластинки, в том числе среди пластинок была Сандра. Я не знал кто это такая (ну может знакомо будет многим из музыки тех времён, когда слышал эти песни и не раз, а как называется группа или исполнитель не знаешь), но когда включил понял, что эти песни я слышал. Сижу теперь заслушиваю до дыр, очень приятные ностальгические песни из детства. Особенно с пластинки 1988 года (пластинка в СССР была выпущена) музыка как будто звучит совсем по другому, чем через приложение в телефоне.
Hey dereck ! Please do alphaville : sounds like melody ( the audio version, not the video version). It s a masterpiece of the 80's
Sandra is awesome, i love her songs and beautiful voice, i grew up with her songs.
Hi Derek! I'm glad you finally made a reaction to Sandra! Her songs are gorgeous! It was popular in the USSR and remains very popular in Russia now. I recommend Maria Magdalena
Innocent love
Midnight man
Don't Cry (there is a video from the studio, and there is an interesting clip from a fan in black and white)
Secret land
We'll be together
Around my heart
Hiroshima
Don't be aggressive
Everlasting love
Haven can wait
Forever
Best track from Sandra.
This is just sensational,you can listen to this for hours non stop.❤❤❤
Formidable, c'est une de mes chanteuse favorite des années 80, merci Dereck.
Elle fait aussi partie d'un groupe vers la fin des années 70 qui s'appelait Arabesque " In for a penny in for a pound " et " Friday Night" c'était plutôt Disco et au début des années 90 elle faisait partie d'un autre groupe Enigma avec des chansons cultes depuis, accompagné de chant grégorien, orientale entre autre " Sadeness ", " Mea Culpa ".
You absolutely needs to react to Propaganda - "P-MACHINERY"
Oh thank you for this demand 🙏
Yeah, absolutely. German new-wave got lots of hits.
There there there! And/or Duel
Great band, produced by the great Trevor Horn
j'ADOREEEEE Sandra Cretu evry songs is beautiffull
The 80s were amazing:)
You should isten to the extended 5mins version of this. The solo starts with an accoustic guitar, goes into an electric guitar and then moves into a synth solo. One of the best solos/bridges i have ever heard in my life.
Her closest rival from Germany is C.C.Catch, would be interesting to see your reaction to her songs such as "Soul survivor", "Heaven & Hell" & "Heartbreak hotel".
They were so hot back at that time, CCCATCH still is gorgeus.
CC Catch is Dutch. Her one producer Bohlen is from West Germany and and the other Rodriguez is from Spain
All those 80's european songs were very popular in Soviet Union and they remind me my childhood
Sandra & her Husband also made the Band ENIGMA with big hits like " Sadness" or "Return to Innocence"
Man, you hit on ALL of her great songs.
I love sandra so much, great video, thank u so much
My favorite Sandra song
Dereck, Sandra has been very successful in Europe with various hits, she was a queen of German dance. She is the narrator and sensual voice of the Enigma project ;-)
Sandra is timeless and my best is Everlastings love, I spent so many nights away on London dancefloors with that track
Fantastic song! So tender. Amazing voice of Sanda is fenomenal!
I was a fan ( and still am I ) and I think you chose her best song to new ears even if I like some of hers even more. She had many hits worlwide except in UK and USA. But she had a number one in USA with her band ENigma in 91. The title was 'Sadness'. But I suggest you to listen to ENigma's second worldwide hit 'Mea culpa orthodox mix' . Thanks for your reactions Derek it's good to share good vibrations.
Secret Service - Flash in the Night. 1982 Epic 80's song
I’ll never be Maria Magdalena
You’re a creature of the night
Maria Magdelena
You’re a victim of the fight, you need love
Promise me delight
You need looooove
...
lol
I think you're mixed up buddy...that's her other, better song. They are indeed similar though.
Only adding the lyrics of the song referred to in my previous post. I guess that was confusing haha
Alphaville, Modern Talking to stay in Germany... And after you have to discover Italo Disco style with lots of bands from Italy in the eighties... Fun Fun, Ken Lazlo, Miko Mission... So many songs. Thanks from France
Yeah. I liked Ken Lazlo, all the others, and Jeanne Mas, Indochine and others. Hey hey guy, really cool.. Do you really have to make this about nationalities? So sad. Thanks from Germany.
OMG OMG OMG Sandra LOVE her, you need to react to Maria Magdalena, Stop For A Minute, Hiroshima, Heaven Can Wait and these songs by her then husband who produced all her stuff up until early 2000s Michael Cretu with Samurai, Gambit & Silver Water & 2 songs he did with Manfred Theirs called Snowing Under My Skin & a cover of Schools Out under the name Cretu & Theirs.
I have all of her albums on CD , and all the albums she did with the girl group she was in before she went solo Arabesque look them up very Boney M ish.
The bloke singing is called Hubert Kemmler who was in the group Hubert Kah which you need to react to their song Limousine
YESSSS...!! Especially Heaven Can Wait is a real masterpiece and goosebumping song!🔊⚡🔥
I just found this one. Chorus is gold
Pleeeeaaase try "heaven can wait" and of course "Maria Magdalena"
Personally I also like" around my heart" and "secret land" very much
With sandra, you’ll often approve Dereck, she has a lot of hits, a lot.
PS: En plus c'est une belle femme.

There used to be blue screen before the green screen. They definitely had it back in the 1980s, maybe even 1970s. The technology wasn't as refined as it is now, so often you could see some artefacts on the edge where the person is.
Thanks Derek, I really like your videos. I'm French and I was happy to see your reactions to Mylène Farmer. Sandra Cretu Lauer is my second favorite singer, I recommend her album " Close to seven " released in 1992 with 2 songs by Sandra" Don't be aggressive "and" I need love ". Good video ;) .
In 1986 to 87, I was an exchange student in Germany. I was introduced to Sandra and fell in love. Two of my favorite songs by Sandra are, Loreen and Hey Little Girl. I have her greatest hits and still jam to it today!
Hi Dereck ! Maybe you could try MARIA MAGDALENA by Sandra. Pretty sure you'll love this one too.
❤🎵🇫🇷
Haha...souvenirs... I was in love with her in the 80's :-)
You could check "Maria Magdalena" and/or "Innocent love"
Yes! Innocent Love (1986). Epic. What a song! My fav after In The Heat Of The Night. He'll like it!
Since u have discovered this 80s synth gem, please react to Sandras 1st mega hit Maria Magdalena, Heaven can wait, Innocent love and her producer Michael Cretu’s hit Samurai! You will be blown away!!!
Definately a good Idea!!!
My favourite star ever! 😊😘💖Thanks for this reaction! ❤👍😊
I envy my dad and my mum that they lived through the 80s.
omg I love Sandra ! She was huge in late 80s/90s
Try “stop for a minute” by Sandra
Oh boy... I was growing up with Sandra´s music.. this is such a retro :DDDD
1985 has been a superb musical year....
Sensuality of Sandra Ann Leuer
It is always a pleasure to watch your vidéos Dereck !
Sandra Mylène and Lara Fabian are my three favorite females singes. You are a good guy !
Big hit in Europe in 1985… There was a huge rivalry btw Sandra and Nena…
YES, so good... Sandra. Tant de hits !
