- This reaction is genuinely my first time ever witnessing this video by Charles Berthoud called "If BARBIE GIRL Was The Hardest Song In The World". Mind-blowing abilities on display here. Much fun.

When I do my reaction videos I don't press pause because I don't want to interrupt the natural flow of the music as it was originally intended by the artist. I try to vocalise my thoughts in real time as I listen to the song, and then summarise my reaction afterwards.
Please do recommend songs or other artists for me to checkout in future by commenting on this video! I'm constantly on the lookout for great new music and things I've never heard before.

He has a very light and humorous presentation, but he is an absolute monster on bass. Easily one of the best players I’ve ever seen.
I used to say Charles is one of the best bass players I've ever seen, but after watching several of his videos over the past couple of years I've come to realize I was wrong. He isn't one of the best I've seen. He's literally the best bass player I've ever seen. I mean, I've seen some pretty talented players do some truly amazing things never thought possible on a bass guitar, but Charles has elevated even that to a whole other level. You could put Charles Berthoud on stage with nothing more than his bass guitar and a drummer to accompany him, and he could literally carry a two hour concert with no other instruments, and still have people walking out shaking their heads in astonishment. And no, while I'm certainly old enough, I'm not his father. But whomever is, wow, that man sure must be proud.
Agree with @pumpkinhead he is insanely good on this instrument. Great heart of Dave504 who found out about him and gave him all the support he could.
The guy deserved it for sure.
He is not only a great bass player (Victor Wooten level), he is an outstanding arrangers and producer.
I agree. He is the best bass player I've ever seen.
@@pumpkinheadghoul Charles is a monster bassplayer indeed, and certainly one of the very best (!) at the moment. And indeed it is not only his technical skill on the bass, but his complete musicianship that make him so great. There are (and have been) others though who are also monsters if in a very different manner. The foremost that I am thinking of is the one and only Jaco Pastorius (for me still the nr.1. of all times). Although Charles Berthoud comes quite close...
Of my 10+ years of watching on TH-cam, Charles is the best musician on the platform.
@@johnmclawson3982 will check him out.
Did you also watch Tina S?
@@Dutch1961 will check out.
In my 60 yrs. as a musician, he's the best bass player I've ever seen.....carry on Charles
He put out a video of his bass journey not too long ago, shows how much work he's put in to be as good as he is, plus he's so incredibly humble.
Yes, he has a great authentic personality. A thing that most popular TH-camrs don't have at all. I really would like to see one of his practice sessions.
You can afford to be humble when you’re so mind-blowingly brilliant that you know everyone will recognize it. 😂
@@StamfordBridge you must not have followed his journey ....
I love how he started of saying, yea so he's like, some TH-cam musician, I guess! While that's true. To my knowledge, and opinion, Charles is an incredibly well studied musician. Who is quite possibly one of the best bass players in the world. This video was fun to watch.
I watch his version of this song every week
Barbie Girl is one of the few pop songs that I like at all. And I love it. If you're going to go pop go all the way. The metal head at work got mad when I put it on in between Disturbed and Slipknot.
😂 yes mate!
I knew a metalhead in high school who loved aqua.
Personally I absolutely love aqua..... And tech death.... And toy box....and some old school powerviolence..... And UK hardcore. They're not always incongruous ...
Had a girlfriend the latter months of senior year in high school and when we'd roll up to school in her honda del sol we'd often be bumping aqua. This was way back in....ahem...er....2001
@@jeremypreston5009 Aqua is extreme pop. I don't like most pop because it's boring. It has to be extreme pop. Japanese metal mixes extreme pop with metal and it's awesome. I think Hanabie 'We Love Sweets' is a perfect example. There is a lot more. Babymetal of course. Even Nemophila has a little Jpop.
Extreme pop is similar to Metal in a way. It's taking a genre to it's extreme. Aqua mixed with Metal would be awesome. The reason I don't like most pop is because it isn't poppy enough. It's just boring.
If you want some really poppy pop (ironic), try the Electra Heart album by MARINA
@@protojager I really like Yoasobi now. Their new song Idol is awesome. It's got like 130 million views in 6 weeks. It's the OP for Oshi no Ko anime which is also awesome.
Thank you for checking Charles out. I KNEW you would dig it. I follow you because you react the same way I do to a good bit of my own favorite new things. I have played bass and guitar since 81 but lost my fretting index finger about 14-15 years ago. I still can go pretty well on my bass, and it made it new and challenging again. I'll soon be making content hopefully. Keep up the fun work brother!
Jaysus, an index finger is a tough loss for fret use. Well done for persevering on the bass! Thanks again for the recommendation!
Charles!! Nobody can do it better! Plus he's hilarious!
Berthoud is more of a musician than a bass player as was illustrated with him playing the piano. He, of course, shreds on guitar as well.
For what it's worth having at last passable piano skills is quite common in formally educated musicians (and Berthoud went to Berklee): it's used for analysis (chords, music theory), it's super useful for composition, and in a school setting being able to accompany is a good way to get mates.
Charles says it is pronounced as Bear-two.
Yeah, this very rendition made me buy the bass and off I go, a granny w/o any musical background...
Such is the power of Bass🚀
To answer the question posed by the title of this video: Quite possibly, yes. And he's certainly my favorite! 🤘😄
Also, you should definitely check out more of his stuff. In particular, he has an awesome video where he plays bass using a violin bow, and it sounds GODLY.
Charles is insane🙏 I love his channel
I suppose you are a fan, now. So... Congratulations and Welcome to the Berthouniverse! 😂😂
This guy is just amazing
Search for his other covers -- HE IS nuts.
Évidemment que Charles est le meilleur bassiste, c est un virtuose sa technique est incroyable pour moi le meilleur bassiste de tous les temps
Charles is my hero. 😎... 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I have all his videos.
Yaasss! How awesome was that!? I loved that so much! Thanks for sharing. :)
Watching this video, it almost seems as though you don't know what you just Witnessed. There are no other bassists like him. But he doesn't act like it. The amount of Education, and skill enhancement that he has with this instrument and many others is mind-blowing. He is quite literally a bass God. And I say check out every other video by him.
“Fuck off”
Yeah, that’s my reaction every time I see him play.
He's a friggin orchestra.
He's wonderfully skilled .
Charles (Bear Too) is simply the epitome of Bass-dom!!!
short answer: yes. long one: yes he is
You don't appear to realize that Charles Berthoud is Bass God!
Charles "BEAR-TOO"
Ahaaa, thank you for this!
Bear two...that is how you pronounce his name. I am so glad that you enjoyed this...
He’s not just the best bass player on TH-cam - IMO - he’s the best bass player ever 🤘
Freaking Great !!!!!
Think of his last name as these 2 words: "bear" and "too"
Is Charles the best bass player on TH-cam? Yes. Yes, indeed. The man exudes pure talent.
Very entertaining.
When I heard charles cover, that was the only time I actually enjoyed that song
Peut être même un des meilleurs bassistes au monde
Charles berthoud is one of the best bassists I've ever seen...worth checking out his other covers & original music 👍
He pronounces it bear too
I think the answer is yes, Charles is the best.
I love how everyone kept mispronouncing his name the first time. It's like a thing now🤣
Nice rhythms dancing with the melodies and chords
Muita técnica impressiionante a facilidade e velocidade que ele executa
Charles has steel fingers flyin'.
In my opinion, he's in the top 10 known bassists. That being said, he falls into categories like Satriani, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Malmsteen, etc., or other incredibly talented TH-cam guitarists - I can be and am amazed at their talent, but it's so rich, I can't listen to a lot of it. Where Charles needs to be tested is in a band setting and where their collective content goes when tested on the ears of the masses. No doubt anything he does will be greatly appreciated by a few, as he and his phenomenal talent already is, but it's a niche talent. He needs to gather the greatest of TH-cam musical talent, collab, make songs, put together an album and let it rip.
He's the best bass player on planet earth. He conquered youtube years ago.
Looking Poles bassist Mr Wojtek Pilichowski.Super fasters and prec.
I'll not say a single negative word about your future wedding song (if you're not married)...lol.
I watch Charles' channel from time to time and he's really ridiculous man. Another one is Dave504...or Davie504. Another slap-happy crazy talented bassist. They both make the same style of video though I do get more Borat from Davie.
Anywho, enjoyed the reaction.
I am indeed already married! My now wife walked down the aisle to a Bring Me The Horizon song and we exited the ceremony to the sounds of A Day To Remember. True story.
@@SteveOGRock That's very cool...lol.
Davie started it all.
Where you been.........?
What mr Berhoud is doing with the arrangements is actually even more amazing then his bass technique.
Aquarium was my first album as well. I think I was about the same age.
Haha yes!!! *high five*
tell Glenn Fricker found bassist that would make him not say bassist are stupid
here's the thing - Glenn actually loves bass and bassists, that's why he's mad when he comes across lazy idiots who give the instrument a bad name, and they're sadly common because bass has this reputation of "guitar but easy"
Pronounced Bear-2 (rhymes with Bear One)
What model is that blue guitar behind you? My bro used to play one.
It’s a Mexico-made Fender Stratocaster. It was my first electric guitar 🙂 The other one is a PRS Custom 22 and it is goooorgeous.
🧸2 🤘
Charles is the most insane bassist that I have ever heard! I enjoy his friendly rivalry with fellow TH-cam bassist Davie504.
listen to The omnific
@3:04 oh dear... i think you meant like Handel
Burr Thoo
It’s pronounced like Bear-two
There are no superlatives!
You have no idea....
Hot take: Is Charles better than Jaco??? Quite different styles but maybe?
It's pronounced "bare-two"
