CharCanuck it still is pretty hot I think! And the model in it did a brilliant job. She was wearing next to nothing, it was freezing cold and she was covered in goosebumps!
Not to disparage Chris' voice, which is fantastic, but the studio version of this song is one of the best produced songs ever. The simplicity of the rhythm and the guitar work along his vocals is perfectly blended. Do listen to the studio version. if you want to get lost. Lights out, phones on, lying down.
Hey Jayvee, I enjoyed your reaction... You're 'Right On' in you interpretation of the Emotion of Chris's Song. It doesn't get better then any Song sung by Chris. And! He Wrote This Song Himself, as he told in an interview a few years back: A gal who was playing that 'Wicked Game' on him, telephoned him late one evening, back in 1989... She demanded to drive too his place that night, even though he said "No"! So she did anyway, and, in the time it took her too drive to his place... He Wrote This Song! Now That's Talent!
I was 20 years old when this song came out, and went to Mexico for New Years... to me it always transports me back to a Mexican beach at night, with a warm wind blowing... magic
@@kerryn6714 He was in the movie Twin Peaks: Fire, Walk With Me. Also, his style has much in common with the sound David Lynch likes, so being reminded of Twin Peaks is not unusual.
Thanks for reacting to this great Hall Of Fame singer-songwriter. He is so good and doesn't have as wide a following as he deserves, but people who love him really do appreciate him. This is a mellow one, and yes, he wrote it. His whole body of work is good. He's 64 and still touring. The official video for Wicked Game is, to put it mildly, very sensual. I saw an interview where he said that the beautiful model in the video was a good actress. "She pretended to like me."
Finally, someone has featured him. This sounds good but you need to watch the official video. He sounds the same but the video adds so much to the song!💜💜💜
This is a good live version. I think the main thing to remember is when people want you to listen to a song you should find the original video. It is what they have listened to all their lives and they want you to hear the same thing. I don’t know when the live version is from, but even though people can still sound good if it’s when the artist is older their voice might not be as strong as when they were younger. Just a thought.
Loved this reaction ❤️ this song is the closest I as a woman can sometimes get to understanding heartbreak from a man's perspective. The music video was so incredible too.
Here is why I love watching your videos: 1. I get to hear songs I haven’t heard in a long while. 2. Your reactions are great. I’m always thinking “oh, just wait until he hears the next part”. 3. Your ability to appreciate music from different genres and time. Thanks for sharing and be safe down there! Love from 🇨🇦
Wow I'm glad you decided to check out Chris. A little background I saw him way back when he started in the 80s in a small club on Melrose Street near Hollywood. I knew this guy was going to make it big the song that got me was called "Dancing". Check out Dancing live version if you want to hear his lungs just like this song that you just heard and in the original video Dancing you can see how cool he looked earlier in the 80s.. he was a Rick Nelson type excellent hair. And by the way Chris loves Elvis andwas influenced by Elvis n the 1950s.style. This was the time around when rockabilly was coming back with the Stray Cats all pushed from the 1977 death of Elvis Presley..a revival sort of thing, but Chris stands alone and is one of a kind. His career was almost over and then one disc jockey played the song "Wicked Gamesand became a hit a year after it had been out. This started back his career and he's had an amazing ride.
We used to see Chris surf at Ocean Beach in San Francisco as he used to live a couple of blocks away. This is still one of the most haunting songs I've heard. His voice is perfect.
I just read that the original video was directed by (fashion photographer) Herb Ritts. Same guy who directed MJ's video, "In the Closet" (similar style)
Hello my sweet Bird....🐣! The best of Chris Isak....❤ Can you please play Marillion, soon??? " skript for å jesters tear...." And Many, many, moore... You are so sweet...Love- Norway🏞🛥💦🌞 He knows you know too.....🎼🎵 VERY NICE:-)
What a joy to watch someone who clearly LOVES music. Smiling along with you. I already knew you'd love his falsetto. Thanks for sharing your joy with us.
@@sherriparra6751 I mean, you learn how to appropriately dress for the beach, see the typical flora and fauna of a beach, and how to seductively roll in sand! That's very educational! I always tried to mimic her smooth moves in the mirror as a young teen, then my older brother caught me. He still laughs his butt off, when he hears that song.
ALL of his songs are melancholy beautiful haunting or just great uptempo american rock... and he's known for both his deep baritone and his falsetto and ability to hold onto notes for seconds at a time... this song "wicked game" is his most well known and biggest hit song..VERY ENTERTAINING IN CONCERT.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO SEE HIM IN CONCERT....
Goosebumps every time he does No I.....saw him in Tampa, FL when he opened for Tina Turner.great show, he was in a mirrored suit. Will never forget.... what a hauntingly beautiful voice. So excited to listened to his video. Other songs: Solitary man written by Neil Diamond, Baby did a bad thing Try k.d. Lang. Best female vocalist of our time. Started out in country in1986ish by 1989 she crossed over into pop, she toured with Tony Bennett with the old classic but favorite is hallelujah, crying, ingénue, ms Catelaine, everything she signs is fantastic.
Interesting. He changed the lyrics up slightly. The recording has "strange what desire will make foolish people do". Here, he sings "foolish lovers". And yep, Jay, you're right. This is a good live version. And yep, the studio recording has him reaching some notes a bit better. And that last hold is even longer.
@@leroyrs I think it came out in 1989, but it was a very popular song played in bars and clubs, and was on the radio all the time in the early 90's. New music back then wasn't as 'instant' as it is now, it took a while for a song to make the rounds.
Chris Isaak was one of the coolest cats to ever walk into a studio and put out a record. He was something of a modern-day Roy Orbison in some ways. Also had one of the most excellent TV shows ever (way back when).
One of my favorite songs of all time. I can't imagine anyone else singing this but Chris Isaak - such a mesmerizing voice. Thank you for playing this! 💜
True. It is in black and white and the backdrop is a beach and a beautiful super-model posing (Helena Christensen) as the song progresses. You HAVE to see this. th-cam.com/video/dlJew-Dw87I/w-d-xo.html
annette cole You won’t necessarily get blocked from just watching the video. He’s saying if Jayvee films a reaction to the video it will get blocked. That’s when copyright comes into play.
One of the COOLEST songs I've ever heard! This has been a favorite ever since I heard it in the movie "Wild at Heart". A really cool and strange movie too!
I have seen him live 3 times. He and his band members have played together for over 20 years. Saw them last year and they are one of the best performing band ever.
It felt like he was dropped, fully formed, one day in SF. He had a look, a sound, and we all fell under his spell. His mom used to sew him old suits from old, 1940's drapes. One time he gave a free lunch hour concert at Levi Plaza, an office complex around a big green lawn. EVERYBODY filled the space, and all the windows of the office towers were full of people, the people wouldn't let him go. They kept cheering and cheering and he kept playing until about 3:30 - so..... I told my boss when I left that I didn't know when I'd be back, but not to worry. I never did come back! The whole crowd was sort of euphoric. All the bars filled up and more of him on the juke boxes. I remember it as an amazing SF day. One of many.
Chills and Goosebumps! I love to play and sing this song, but it can be hard to get through! Love that can lift you so high up, can bring you crashing down! It's always a gamble. You just have to decide for yourself if its worth the risk!
Chris is also an incredibly nice guy - humble, friendly, and VERY funny. My husband and I have met him twice at a meet-and-greet prior to a show. It is so difficult to not be attending live music during the pandemic, and to be supporting musicians, who are so deserving of our support. I hope that we can return to normalcy in the not-too-distant future.
Haunting is definitely the word for this song. You should listen to the studio version along with the official music video. The video is a perfect match for the song and shows you the heartbreaker he is trying so hard not to fall in love with. He hasn't got a chance.
I’ve been looking forward to this reaction 🙂 I was a little bummed to hear that you were doing a live version, because the video is great... but this is a great live performance!
I love that song for that same reason. To me, the lyrics are nice and gentle, and I have no idea how many times he sings the same thing, it could play for hours before I realized it was on repeat.? It is just a soft mood music, and he has such a beautiful voice, too.
I remember in 1989 I was 35-year-old bartender here in Alaska, when this song dropped, it was stunning to see all the different emotions it brought out from all different ranges of ages and people. Some men danced sultry with beautiful women, some women dance with a sense ownership over their mans heart, some just sat profoundly moved as they ordered another drink. When I was done with my shift, I went into the back storage room and cried because of a wicked game I lived through. If you want another great song of his... Baby did a bad bad thing!
This song was hit only after it was featured in a David Lynch movie called 'Wild At Heart' that starred Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage in 1990. The success of the song led to a long association between Isaak and Lynch with Isaak crossing over into acting in a few Lynch films like 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me', as well as other films like Tom Hanks first movie as a director, 'That Thing You Do'. There are two videos of the song...one directed by Lynch featuring clips from 'Wild At Heart' and Isaak singing and another with Isaak and a beautiful model. This song is seductive and haunting at the same time...which is why I have always loved it.
I really hope you do put Chris Isaak on your play list so we can have more reaction of him. Chris Isaak is one of the best artist out there today, I love his music
You never fail to me laugh. Your facial expressions are priceless. I appreciate your willingness to listen to all genres of music. And I agree... This song is mesmerizing. You get lost in the song. Keep smiling that beautiful smile of yours. 🇨🇦 Luv from Canada
This song has the ability to transcend time, it sounds like it's current but also somehow sounds as if it crosses the decades of time, his vioce is like warm, soulful, chocolate. The haunting vocals could easily be used in a David Lynch film.
I love Chris Isaak, listen to him all the time. You'll love the studio version, the "haunting" sound comes up a notch. So glad you loved him! Peace out!
![Chris Isaak • “Wicked Game”/Interview/“Somebody’s Crying” • 1995 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]](/img/n.gif)
CHRIS ISSAK sultry voice mesmerizing song. One of my faves of all time
Exactly.
Mr. Chris Isaak is in a musical category all his own...flawless, smooth and unique
His video of Wicked Game was considered HOT at the time (1989) .
It's STILL one of the hottest videos ever made.
CharCanuck it still is pretty hot I think! And the model in it did a brilliant job. She was wearing next to nothing, it was freezing cold and she was covered in goosebumps!
Very, very hot 😊
He screwed up going with the live version lol.
Chris was a Golden Gloves Boxer in his younger days. He didn't just happen to have a honker like that.
Beautiful voice. Beautiful song. Possibly my favourite song ever.
His voice has a cry to it that goes straight to your heart, Great Singer Great song
I so agree. Powerful with cry, almost haunting
Totally agree.
Never heard that phrase before spot on
I’ve been lucky enough to have beeb to two concerts of Chris Issak and both times he was amazing . Fantastic underrated singer .
For this same sort of retro sound but more of a rocker, his "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing" is great.
His best track IMO ✌️
Awesome song!
Love that song too.👌
Such a naughty song.
Definitely a must listen!
Beautiful song...Background singers.."This world is only gonna break your heart!"
One of the most ethereal melodies I've ever heard. The song sounds like the music video looks.
This song still gives me goosebumps. Beautiful.
Not to disparage Chris' voice, which is fantastic, but the studio version of this song is one of the best produced songs ever. The simplicity of the rhythm and the guitar work along his vocals is perfectly blended. Do listen to the studio version. if you want to get lost. Lights out, phones on, lying down.
The studio version is "perfection". 🙂
Studio version depressed and excited me simultaneously
Soo true!
Oh I'd recommend the studio version...but watch the official video instead of some lyric video lol. That video made me question some things.
Correct - it's even more haunting than this version
Hey Jayvee, I enjoyed your reaction... You're 'Right On' in you interpretation of the Emotion of Chris's Song. It doesn't get better then any Song sung by Chris. And!

Favorite song by Chris Isaak! His voice reminds me of Roy Orbison!
Trina Ortiz does
Yes- like Roy Orbison . amazing unique smooth sound
Yeh! I never realized that!
Chridid Roy Orisons song “Crying”,and it maybe better than the original.
I was 20 years old when this song came out, and went to Mexico for New Years... to me it always transports me back to a Mexican beach at night, with a warm wind blowing... magic
One of the saddest but sexiest songs pinned.
Gives me a sadboner
@@TidalMaker 😂😂😂
Makes me think of Twin Peaks. Was he in the show or did he sing it? Or nothing? Can’t remember! 😂
@@kerryn6714 He was in the movie Twin Peaks: Fire, Walk With Me. Also, his style has much in common with the sound David Lynch likes, so being reminded of Twin Peaks is not unusual.

Very good live performance, but the official video is the best. Also in my top ten of beautiful, mellow songs.
David Litchke The video just adds that extra something to the song!💜
@@sherribrock2726 I certainly agree! Heck of a video.

Man has a really unique kind of a voice it cuts deep into you
Such a haunting song, great choice! I remember when this came out, it stays with you

2. Your reactions are great. I’m always thinking “oh, just wait until he hears the next part”.
3. Your ability to appreciate music from different genres and time.

2nd that!
The video is really worth watching, its got a beautiful girl and a paradise setting and it just makes the song more meaningful, at least to me
heard this song many times, 1st time ever hearing it live. Can't believe he could sing it this good live. I agree a haunting sound
Chris Issak's voice is amazing! Have always loved this song! 💕
He does have a great voice. My favorite song by him is 'Blue Hotel'
Chris Isaak live is one of the best shows you'll ever see.
The fact he can hit those notes perfectly live shows he is a truly amazing vocalist, the range is freaking crazy
He's truly amazing, naturally which is extremely rare these days
🎸✌️🎵🎶

Hahahaa
I saw them (all the same band) live in Northern California about 5 years ago. They are all impeccable musicians!
Agreed! Chris Isaak has a gorgeous voice!
As soon as I hear the guitar rift it gives me goosebumps. Haunting song. Superb.
I’ve heard the term “Elvis Orbison” used about Chris’ amazing voice. He puts on a great live show; he has a great sense of humor too.

Unique sound and voice. Love it
I want to live in a world where David Lynch designs the scenery and Chris Isaak writes the music.
I don't think I'd like to be any of David Lynch's characters, though! 😂
MET HIM IN CABO MEXICO YEARS AGO ... SURFING & SINGING, NICE GUY, HAD SEEN HIM LIVE IN CENTRAL VALLEY CALIFORNIA
I LOVE THIS SONG! When it first came out I played it over! I always thought it was haunting, just like you!
You couldn't tell the difference between the live and studio version. So talented. Love this song. One of my top all time.
This song always reminds me of that song, 'Fade Into You' by Mazzy Star....and 'Under the Milky Way' by The Church.
I love that song!!
Nice connection to make. There's a live version of Fade Into You on here that's so beautiful.
Excellent suggestion. J, please react to Under The Milky Way Tonight by The Church.
Both are such great classics
Two fantastic songs and bands.
This song really brings strong memories to me. It was the favorite song of my girlfriend in high school.
This is one of my favorite songs from the 90s. You MUST see the original video, Jay! It's one of the sexiest videos ever aired on MTV back in the day.
Interesting. He changed the lyrics up slightly. The recording has "strange what desire will make foolish people do". Here, he sings "foolish lovers".
And yep, Jay, you're right. This is a good live version. And yep, the studio recording has him reaching some notes a bit better. And that last hold is even longer.
The other big Chris Isaak song is Somebody's Crying. Check that one out!

Ooooh, I’d forgotten that one! Great track, I’m off to find it now! ✌️
90s? I always connected it with the 80s. But nevertheless it's a timeless song.

The first time I heard this song, I fell in love with Chris!
One of my all-time favorites! 🥰
This is the one song...that no copy compares...only Issak does this song justice.
Not only a great voice, but he's a really good actor. He was in Silence of the Lambs, and he played Keanu Reeves's father in Little Buddha.
You’re forgetting Uncle Bob from That Thing You Do!
Saw him live - he delivers every note without autotune... ! He is amazing!
Chris Isaak was one of the coolest cats to ever walk into a studio and put out a record. He was something of a modern-day Roy Orbison in some ways. Also had one of the most excellent TV shows ever (way back when).
Yes, I was thinking of Roy Orbison as well. The vibrato
One of my favorite songs of all time. I can't imagine anyone else singing this but Chris Isaak - such a mesmerizing voice. Thank you for playing this! 💜

Such a beautiful song, haunting and heartbreaking
One of the COOLEST songs I've ever heard! This has been a favorite ever since I heard it in the movie "Wild at Heart". A really cool and strange movie too!
I have seen him live 3 times. He and his band members have played together for over 20 years. Saw them last year and they are one of the best performing band ever.

The voice what can you say , haunting and he holds you in a tight grip with that voice , love it love it just damn love it , nice one Jay 🤗.

Saw him live about 10 years ago. He is that good for real in a show. You are right, that voice can be haunting when he wants it to be.
This song was hit only after it was featured in a David Lynch movie called 'Wild At Heart' that starred Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage in 1990. The success of the song led to a long association between Isaak and Lynch with Isaak crossing over into acting in a few Lynch films like 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me', as well as other films like Tom Hanks first movie as a director, 'That Thing You Do'. There are two videos of the song...one directed by Lynch featuring clips from 'Wild At Heart' and Isaak singing and another with Isaak and a beautiful model. This song is seductive and haunting at the same time...which is why I have always loved it.
Bruce Weber directed that video I think.
I really hope you do put Chris Isaak on your play list so we can have more reaction of him. Chris Isaak is one of the best artist out there today, I love his music
I played this CD all summer long when it came out! I was in love with Chris.
My favorite Chris Isaak tune is 'Blue Hotel'. That high-flying voice - just love it!
Ooof this song! 💖
Anyone remember The Chris Isaac show?
Myleen Lujan Fantastic show! It fit his odd, sarcastic sense of humor perfectly🤣
The one with Mini Driver's dog, too funny.
Best show ever!
Yes. Hubby & I used to catch it until it went off the air.
Yes! So good. A very funny man.
see Chris live the best experience ever .....i saw most bands and singers 80's till now
Jayvee, the chorus of 'this girl is only going to break your heart' is his mind telling him that, while he wishes she would love him...
It’s “This world” not “this girl”
The song is great as is your interpretation of the song Props to both of you
You never fail to me laugh. Your facial expressions are priceless. I appreciate your willingness to listen to all genres of music. And I agree... This song is mesmerizing. You get lost in the song.

When I first heard this song, I thought it was Roy Orbison. Hauntingly beautiful song. Thanx Jayvee!
I did too... For a few years actually.
It gives me such pure joy watching your reaction to such a great song. Thank You very much.
Always thought Chris Isaak sounded a bit like Roy Orbison.
A Sexy Roy Orbison. 😉
Good sbow.
I thought this was Roy Orbison till just few years ago
I always thought that, too
I was just leaving that comment. Glad I scrolled a bit. I knew I couldn’t be the only one that would think this.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Love This song, one of my all time faves of Chris's, you get lost, your imagination runs away and you sort of float like drifting clouds.💖👌😎
It's one of my all time favourite songs... love love LOVE this! x
Listen to the studio version. Gorgeous.
I love Chris Isaak, listen to him all the time. You'll love the studio version, the "haunting" sound comes up a notch. So glad you loved him! Peace out!
He always sounded hauntingly similar to Roy Orbison to me. There’s no better compliment I could think of, but he just sounds so much like him.
Cross between Roy and Elvis
Such a classic and beautiful song. Nice reaction !
my favorite song of his is "can't do a thing to stop me"..... melancholy beautiful...
This song is covered by several artist and contestants on shows like the Voice and American Idol it's so haunting and his voice is so smooth
