Wow Touchy & Feely! I loved your reaction. I loved your T-shirt and of course your synchronised swaying. That's what this music should do to you. I am very happy to play second fiddle in your affections to Tori. She is a modern day phenomena. And it has been an absolute privilege to get to collaborate with her. There are very many of us with our fingers crossed that she makes it big in the way that her very special voice deserves. I want to know, though. I see you have the T-shirt, but do you have the roller skates?
@@TouchyReactions I play the ones you see in this video and a few more. But I do hire in guys who are specialists in instruments I don't play. Or are just way better than I am. For example, the electric guitar playing on this was pretty simple, but for more complex playing I'll get a proper musician. 😄 Oh, and to answer your pin badge question (you're the first reactors or commenters to ask that). I have those three badges on all my jackets. 3 things that bring colour to my life. On the left it's a fish with the name JESUS inside because how can you not love that guy when you know what he did. On the right is a little gold stetson for my love of country music, the gift that keeps on giving (or at least used to 😊). And in the middle a symbol of an abusive relationship I'm in with my football team who are frequently awesome and just as frequently abysmal. So Jesus, Tottenham and Country Music. The Holy Trinity. 😄
I have a thing for good tribute artists, and Tori and a guy named Marc Martell are the best of a very talented lot that I have heard. Dan neither looks, nor sound like Cliff Richard, who is a major player in the UK. He is, however, a darned good Dan Wesley. Some people make a pilgrimmage to graceland to cry and lay flowers, and some people go to Legends in Concert to enjoy the music. I am hoping that someday Tori gets the attention she deserves. Check her originals!
What a fabulous reaction. It was genuinely heartwarming to see you enjoy this rendition so much, and for good reason. I totally agree with your assessment on the clarity and warmth of Tori and Dan's voices, their harmonies in particular. There was little doubt in my mind as I was listening to your comments that Dan would probably drop in. I've noticed that in addition to being so multitalented, he's extremely amicable in responding to reactions. There's not much more I could add to the voluminous wealth of background that Joe has provided other than the fact that Tori actually only just turned 21(apologies Joe, if you mentioned it on the WOJB request), just an additional bit of info that underscores, for me at least, what a genuine diamond she is. Thanks again for the wonderful reaction. And thanks Joe.
@@TouchyReactionsshe has not. She has a music video for her recent original, in production and a self written song also. She’s been very busy lately so here’s hoping something good (what else?) drops soon. I may have mentioned as she gave up the secret in an interview. The next collab with WOJB James is Close To You. Jim has said, he has big shoes to fill on that one. His own. I give Jim a lot a space and bother Dan all the time 🤡. A few days ago I sat in from across the Pond on his radio show. I even made a request! 😃 Guess what song. Just look at the thumbnail. 😊
Hey Steve, no worries ever and thank you. 9/2 was the big day. I assumed she went to Vegas and was a wild woman! Then again, probably not 🤷🏻♂️. We know better. There are some more drops including an artist I’m helping introduce. Ryan and Cindy have her in their queue. Red dropped her’s today. Mary Hoey. Another sweet voice. More on the country side but covers Carpenters also.
I think post production would have been a challenge, the way he was constantly moving his head around so much which would alter his volumes. Unless of course he's was miming.
Hi Cindy & Ryan! OMG I hit a nerve! In the best way possible! A Xanadu shirt FTW! I loved the original and I love this cover. Tori has 7 total songs right now on iTunes and the rest. Not all under her name. I collected them all. (Unless there’s an 8th I don’t know of) All are spoilers for now except Suddenly. Dan had to put this up as he has all those mouths to feed. In addition to Dan and Tori (Ha Lubb) on lead vocals, we have Dan & Dan & Dan & Dan & Dan and his American cousin Mabel on all the instruments. 😉 Dan did the heavy lifting on this one like Jim in WOJB. I want you to know and it’s been mentioned in the comments, Tori is quite the engineer. Her windows in the videos she does all that part and sends it. Last year she made a full length video (yet to come) that Jim saw in February that he modified and that led to WOJB. She is also a multi-instrumentalist. In order of capabilities guitar, piano and drums. If you have an Instagram account, go to Tori’s page and look for her short of Crazy On You. That one shows her killing it on guitars (plural) she plays 4 members of ❤. Look for Now & Then for keyboards. Both acoustic guitars in Suddenly and Crazy are Ovation. Glad you gave Dan his vocal props, while he knows how great Tori is, he’s no slouch and a good friend. 😃 You asked and there’s so many, now. I have to recommend the first of the two videos with Dan that Tori did. In brief; Carpenters were guests on a Perry Como TV Show in 1974. They sang each other’s hits in a medley. Karen sang one verse of “It’s Impossible” Perry’s monster hit from 1970. Dan pondered what it might have sounded like if Karen had sung the entire song. Having already done two mini-docs on Tori, he reached out. To his delight she answered saying it was a top favorite but being a man’s song couldn’t find music in her key. Dan made a piano track in Karen’s key for her. The result is what happened next. Fair warning; this has made some reactors get emotional. Tissues at the ready. 😊 Joe th-cam.com/video/WTKqF0rgK5g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WZdrgOcsWNLSn9Bc .
@@TouchyReactions I was the first to request reactions last November. I had 57 under my belt when Ron showed up. We knew each other sorta from Tee Spicer Reacts. Now we are very good friends. We are the two requesting most of the reactions with scattered singles. I met Tori in April at the Carpenters 55th Anniversary. Another song from there yet to come. Not trying to drown you. I almost killed Tee last November! She’s a Carpenters superfan. I introduced her to Tori with her cover of the Bacharach/David Medley. (Yet to come). She almost had a stroke. Then next was Merry Christmas, Darling and she broke down into tears. She is why I give warnings on some songs. I got 3 Christmas songs for the season. 😂 Tee got emotional on It’s Impossible. And another did too. So, warning! Not The Warning, that’s COMPLETELY different.
@@TouchyReactions one last thought. You mentioned autotune. Have you seen the two episodes Fil of Wings of Pegasus did on Tori, last March? No spoilers so if not, do and it’s amazing. Of course, I’m the Patreon guy he refers to, LOL Yes, Fish pin and Football club. He can probably tell them all accurately.

Her voice is so pleasant to hear! Her inflections are very nice, not overdone.
Tori and Dan Crushed this cover. I think the Xanadu Soundtrack is one of the best Movie soundtracks out there.
i am in Az and have thousands of records and 2 Cliffs records. Dan is so good!

Has she done any singing shows like AGT or idol?
