In the early days of us making videos, I thought I had to do a lot of the talking for Lilly because she would often get stuck for something to say, and rely on me to help her out. Recently though I've been looking at our videos and I feel that I'm doing more talking than I need to. I'm sure nobody cares what my opinion is, and if you have ever watched Lilly do a video by herself, you can see just how confident she has now become. For some reason that same confidence doesn't seem to be there when she's with me, but In future I think I''ll try and let Lilly have much more of a say, and I think that will also make our videos more interesting. Obviously if people only want an adult reaction then our videos won't be for them, but most of our subscribers know exactly what they have signed up to, and will probably like to hear more from Lilly, so that's what I'm going to try and make happen.
Your opinion is important, especially because it is your knowledge of music that serves as an introduction to what Lilly listens to. However, Lilly is the star of this gig, and it is her reactions as one of the next generation about to inherit the earth that makes this channel unique. You are an essential part of the show, but primarily as support for her as the headline act, so therefore you are right in letting Lilly have more of the floor. Because it is Lilly and people like her who will ensure that good music lives on in the future. I wonder if Lilly is not so much feeling a lack of confidence in your presence, but just a natural restraint that kids have when in the company of an authority figure. Whatever it is, giving her more opportunity to express herself is a good thing, especially if you edit the vids afterwards - obviously you shouldn't edit the actual reaction to the song because that needs to be genuine and spontaneous, but you can edit the analysis and discussion after the song, which could make Lilly feel less 'on the spot' knowing that if she is struggling for words you can give her space to gather her thoughts before proceeding. Lilly is a smart kid, and to give her more scope to impart her insights will be beneficial for the audience, the channel and herself. The future of the world depends on it, for without this channel to nurture an appreciation of good music in Lilly and her contemporaries, future generations will only listen to rap, and the inevitable concomitant of that will have profound detrimental effects on human endeavour ultimately leading to the downfall of civilisation.
I agree with you, obviously the "first impression" opinion of Lilly's is the spirit of the channel and what reminds me of when I was young and got my first impression of songs, still your knowledge about it and stating what you think of it is also welcomed! I think letting her talk more will grow her confidence also when reacting alone to songs (which she did to Jerusalema), cause obviously she feels more "at home" when you are reacting with her, but she did very well anyway and the confidence will only grow from there!
I think Steve when Lilly does her solo reviews she's already planning in her head what she is going to say but when she is prompted by you she is put on the spot and is unprepared. Anyway mate really luv your shows so just carry on. How about team grandad sweat shirts.
@@keithisaacs6092 That would be funny wouldn't it, I might look into that. Lilly's upstairs fast asleep in my house at the moment, just as she is 3 nights a week. She's on some sort of a course at the moment, that goes on for 5 days this week. She got home, had her dinner and then had to take three online tests as she's hoping to pass her 11 plus exam and go to a decent school next year. Next week she's away with her mum and dad for a week, so when people wonder why we haven't managed to do any videos it's because Lilly is always doing something. Then she might say to me "Shall we make a video grandad?" and I'll say "I can't right now babe, I'm watching the racing" 😄😄
@@Lilly8Listens more and more youngsters are going to university in our day it was unheard of what a fick lot wee were. Lilly's obviously got a very bright future and has been brought up in the right way and the channel gives her confidence to push on in the future so well done Steve and family you must be very proud.
Love your reactions, or listens, and its great to see Lilly "drink in" the song and video. She is certainly a very bright person, and it is great for both of you, to be able to spend this time together.
I can't say that I have ever been a really big fan of the group, more of a casual listener of their songs. My favourite would probably be Roxanne, but Spirits does have a good beat. Glad Lilly enjoyed it.
Lilly, you definitely liked this, bopping to it. Steve, like it not my fav from them. It does have a depth to it that grows on you, if on borderline of liking it. Enjoy your day again.
I wonder how Lily would like Squeeze, my gut is she'd get a kick out of their early songs for sure... and maybe she needs to hear Run Run Rudolph by Chuck Berry being the fan she is. 😀
Another wonderful reaction by you both. What colour is Lilly's hair? It appears to keep changing slightly, in different light conditions. It's kinda funky.

When she hears The rest of other songs especially Every Breath you take there only number one Hit
That will definitely be the next Police song that I show her.
@@Lilly8Listens your a hero to her us
I love it when the music gets to Lilly and she starts to juke around! ❤

Still waiting for you to show Lilly Sky - Toccata (Video) 🙂the drummer has so much fun
I wish you two would stay on the air forever.
Great song and a fun video, thanks!!!

Go Lilly Go

Play a few bars of _Every Breath You Take,_ and I reckon Lilly will recognize it, if indeed she has heard it.

Hello
Another wonderful reaction by you both.
What colour is Lilly's hair?
It appears to keep changing slightly, in different light conditions. It's kinda funky.
I don't know Kav, she stays with us three or four nights a week and it always looks the same to me.😄
Team grandad... no no, sorry but I think I'm Team Rudolph now... sorry Grandad 😢 I've turned traitor 😂
❤ from Northeast England ❤️
