Regarding the closed mouth singing... "Cetera's trademark singing style developed as a result of his having to sing for a period of time with a wired-shut jaw after getting into a brawl at a Los Angeles Dodgers game in 1969."

"If You Leave Me Now" was their biggest hit

My mother used to play this song to me as a child. I love and miss you, Mum ❤

Their 17 album is a treasure trove of great songs. "Hard Habit to Break", "Stay The Night", "Along Comes a Woman", "You're The Inspiration" - all amazing Chicago 17 tunes. That album was a masterpiece.

He actually had his jaw broken. That why he looks as though his jaw is clenched when he sings

This is a time when the band was struggling to find their footing after the death of their guitarist. Producer/Song Writer David Foster was brought in to help revive the band. It was a massive hit and made for a softer, more mature sound.

Peter Cetera's song "Glory Of Love" was probably his biggest hit. Fantastic voice and one of the classic love song singers from the 80s.

Peter is a FUCKING LEGEND! What a voice.

This one caught me off guard, on release. I thought Chicago was long retired, and I figured this was just one I'd somehow overlooked. I remember hearing it and thinking, "Man, I miss these guys!" Little did I know that I'd be hearing a lot more of them, in the coming years.

Yeah, Chicago found a new audience in the 80's, and a fantastic producer. He had a golden touch.

"Stay the Night" and "You're the Inspiration" are pretty good if you like this.

Hello Miss Bisscute ( Madalina ) Chicago is A Fantastic Group formally known( Chicago Transit Authority !! ) Here is A Short list of Suggestions 1) Saturday in the Park 2) Hard Habit to break 3) Does Anybody really know what time it is ? 4) 25 or 6 to 4 Hope you Enjoy these 😊

The songs from Chicago 17 bring me back to 12-13 y.o, roller skating rink, sleepovers, midnight toilet-papering the houses/trees of the girls we liked while they were out TPing our houses… small town Utah back then (sigh) ❤

Before you view this song, add it's companion song with it Get Away, I'm surprised no one has mentioned this.

It seems incomplete without moving directly into Get Away

Like you were saying, I think that you can feel ashamed and know how much you've disappointed someone else, that you know, "I'm sorry," isn't enough to express what you're feeling, and the other person will likely wave it off or be even more upset by your words in the moment. Therefore, maybe it's best to say nothing and give them space and time to process and cool down before approaching them with an apology. There's a lot of assumption going on internally, but we can only go by what we know and how we would feel if the shoe was on the other foot.

You're The Inspiration & If You Leave Me Now are some great songs from Chicago. The singer Peter Cetera also had a solo career & his most well known song is Glory of Love.

I really don't care if I have love or not. I just want to see someone fall in love to see it come true.

Hi Bisscute. Chicago - my Era. My town. Chicago has some pieces with some powerful horn solos. "25 or 6 to 4" is one. You might enjoy doing some more of this great band. Cheers.

Ahhhhh. First class performers. They rocked it out in the seventies but yet could do this. Number one song right here when I was in high school

The lead singer, Peter Cetera, used to sound a bit different in his early years with Chicago. He had his jaw broken in a bar fight while he was protecting his fellow band mate while on tour in the early/mid seventies. Thus is why he doesn't open his mouth very wide while belting those kick butt vocals.

This and If You Leave Me Now are my two favorites from Chicago. Loved your reaction to this one. This song puts a smile on my face too. The other half to this song is called Get Away.

Since you requested... when you said "harmonics", describing when the singers were harmonizing (you got that word perfectly) the word you're looking for is quite close, it's "harmonies" -- when 2 or more people are singing together at the same time. Loved your reaction, Bisscute, and I'm glad you loved this beautiful song. I do recommend more Chicago, or Peter Cetera, the singer, solo, after he left Chicago. A good one after he left is "One Good Woman".

Some Chicago tunes you should listen to include: "Saturday in the Park", "Beginnings", "Make Me Smile", "Does Anybody Really know What Time it is", "Color My World", "You're the Inspiration" and so many more!

I’ve liked Chicago for over twenty years. Only found out Beginnings six years ago. The full length version is amazing.

I love golden memories and l love bisscute ❣️

I saw these guys at a very small venue right after this album came out. They were fantastic and very "tight" live.

Would like to see "you're the inspiration"

Chicago is a orchestral band. Gotta love the 80's. Slow dancing with your crush at the dance after the sporting event in highschool. 😊

Моя самая любимая песня у этой группы, наравне с If You Leave Me Now. Отличный выбор! Респект! / My favorite song from this band, along with If You Leave Me Now. Great Choice! Respect! Love you, Madalina! ❤

Love your personal reaction! Chicago is legend! End of the 60’s and start of 70’s they had a style of combining rock and brass in an orchestrational fashion so conspicuous at that time. Later the style shifted noticeably to more Peter Cetera’s 80’s pop style. The word your looking for I think is blending. Harmonics refers to the way the notes or tone in chords harmonize in a fixed pattern.

Katrina Valarde and Jessica Villarubin singing, I SURRENDER. This is the best cover of the song and amazing duet.

Everyone has of course their own opinion but to me BEGINNINGS is their greatest song and my favorite song of theirs. Bisscute I highly recommend that you listen to this song whenever you do your 2nd Chicago reaction.

Masterpiece of 82, glory days, Biss. Loved it, thank you for taking me back, could listen another dz times. Try Chicago’s 25 or 6 to 4 for another vibe.👍🏻💕

Cuty,th singer is Peter Cetera,he as a solo career 😊😊

Great 👍 song. Produced by David Foster. Written by him and Peter Cetera. 6 or 7 members were in this lineup. Peter Cetera was the lead singer in this song and in other songs. After performing since 1967, he quit in 1985 to go solo. Peter Cetera eventually divorced his wife Diane Dini. Also, Foster had some divorces including from Linda Thompson. Both wrote I Have Nothing for the late Whitney Houston. Last year, 2023, Foster performed with Morissette Amon in The Philippines 🇵🇭. The video has him playing bass guitar. But he did not do that in the studio recording. Foster played the synth bass. He also played the piano 🎹 and arranged the vocal harmony. Oakland born Bill Champlin joined. He was on keyboards. He quit in the 2010s. Members of Toto, Steve Lukather, guitar 🎸 solo, Steve Porcaro and David Paich, both keyboards 🎹 🎹, played here and throughout the album 16. In addition during the same year 1982, they performed with their band Toto, Michael Jackson on Thriller, Michael McDonald and others. No wonder these members of Toto worked like a dog 🐕! L 🤣L Suggested videos 📹: 1 Chicago performs Love Me Tomorrow 2 Peter Cetera sings Glory of Love 3 The Tubes perform She's a Beauty. 4 David Foster and Steve Perry perform I Stand Alone 5 David Foster and Morissette Amon perform The Bodyguard medley.

That's the great Peter cetera on vocals Chicago has a huge catalog of songs so bucket up and enjoy the ride

Right on! Good song, but this is more 80s era Chicago before Peter Cetera left the band and went solo, as opposed to what you heard before was 70s era Chicago. Both good. After Peter Cetera left Chicago, he had a solo hit with "Glory Of Love" from the soundtrack of "The Karate Kid Part 2", which sounds very similar to this song! I know you haven't done The Karate Kid movies yet. The first one, and second one too really, came out when I was a little kid, and for guys my age that were little boys when it came out, it was a big deal!!! A beloved part of our childhood! They get a little iffy after the first two, and when they did a remake, I wouldn't even see it because the original is too precious to me. Still have not.

Next peter cetera - glory of love

So many gems by the iconic band Chicago, check out "Stay The Night", fun song!

Hello beautiful eyes❤❤, this is an excellent song. I am following you from Algeria🇩🇿. A thousand greetings to you

Iconic Band, love your reaction as usual Miss Bisscute 💓💓💓💓you must react to other songs of the band like: You are the Inspiration and Will you still love me?. You will like them.

Another great song from them is "Hard Habit to Break" ❤️

I think it's great that you're trying to learn more about the technical side of music. It shows your subscribers that you're dedicated to providing a high level of content for us to enjoy . Thank you!

Actually his mouth is closed while he is signing not by choice or for technique but because he had his jaw wired after getting hit in the face during a fight at a Dodgers game in 1969. I noticed this constantly for the longest time until I saw an interview of Peter Cetera and which he discussed it.

If you listen the album version you get to hear the full song. Def worth it

Biss is Gorgeous😍 tho....definitely should bring back the Red/Maroon Hair color....🤔..also congrats on the 2yrs and counting on the Channel!!!

They have a lot great songs. You have to listen to more of them.

This song & Look Away are my favourites from this era of Chicago.

Always enjoy your reactions and comments 👍🏻👍🏻😁❤️

Hi Biss ... Here's one for you - - - - Chicago - Hard Habit To Break. We used to play this when we lost a fellow serviceman in action during the Gulf War in 1991. We knew it was meant to be a love song, but when you lose a Brother in Arms, it's very much like losing a member of family. Listen to it and raise a glass to those who gave their life so others could live.

I like Chicago. Have listened to them for years. Good band.

Madalina, this song became famous because of the movie "Summer Lovers" and it has an extra minute left out where it goes upbeat. See the very end of the movie and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Excellent Chicago and your reaction. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤ Remembering is living, you are my inspiration, it is a very good song, I recommend it 💯Good vibes blessings 💚💛❤️

I had read his mouth is like that from having his jaw broken

Absolutely right, he told a story once that he was at a baseball game and his long hair made him a target for some guys with a grudge - ended up with a broken jaw wired shut and had to learn to sing that way.

This is a classic Biscute!! I ❤❤❤ the song!! Thank you for your reactions!! ❤❤❤ from the USA

Tedeschi Trucks Band-Keep on Growing live at The Fox theater. It’ll blow your mind. Guaranteed

The word you're looking for is harmony.

‘If you leave me now’ is a must

This is my teen years by sound. 😂 Peter Ceteras voice. Only ballads. Girls did go crazy. 😂

This takes me back

Chicago is a great band I'm so glad you finally found them! They have such a long list of hits! I will suggest "Saturday in the Park". I look forward to seeing you react to more Chicago music! Thanks for sharing Biss!❤️💛

Also listen to the full version, goes straight into get away.

Recommend: The band is called The Lightning Seeds. The song is Pure. Official video. One of those songs that makes me smile and sing. "Perhaps Someone You Know Can Sparkle and Shine". 😊😊❤❤

This was one of but a small, but elite select few musical acts back in the hay day of stadium rock, high hair, even higher band mates rocking power ballads and mullets in the era of bombast and excess where in this less than idyllic creative work environment, some musical icons still managed to against all odds over-achieve and produce not just a successful top ten platinum gold hit album, but manage to produce a certified smash hit multi platinum gold selling album that also miraculously spawned multiple top forty hit singles with the exact same songs from the album that housed them all together on one record. That was a big flex pulling off the audacious grift of selling the music buying American public the exact identical songs twice. Just different presentations. It was marketing genius. But, the ridiculous kicker to the whole thing is the product being mass produced and exploited by an advertising loophole to a seemingly insatiable rabid fanbase of consumers for anything and all things music that's only discernable criteria appeared to be the music just had to be pop and modern seems like a perfect storm for a massive profit driven conglomerate full of corporate cannibals and quick-change artists whose shell game is playing economic roulette with the national reserve like it was just pocket coin taken from petty cash or embezzling from people's retirement nest eggs or getting sticky fingers with the social security fund to bankroll their cold vacuous lives of depravity and degeneracy betting consumers financial security and recklessly bankrupting the entire country just for a cheap thrill instant gratification endorphin rush like your raging alcoholic degenerate gambler uncle who plays the ponies so much you'd think he had shares in a dude ranch or was a glue factory magnet. That's these Tinsle Town industry new bloods shaking down it's community like a mid level middle management low class pimp or Hollywood agent. Both are irredeemable bottom feeders with zero prospects for a redemption arch or remotely capable even by happen chance to find themselves stumping accidentally into a moral center. This was the atmosphere in the 80s so all odds were in favor of every major musical act with talent and some heat would be manipulated by their management team and advisors to capitalize on the public interest in their brand while the iron's hot by releasing a rushed joyless follow up LP, album by committee phoned-in, subpar, sophomore effort labor of love, only without the labor and no love, passion-project with all the passion of a multi conglomerate corporate merger slash hostile take-over and the uncompromised artistic integrity and mad level street cred bona fides of a company wide mandatory meet in team building exercises at the company retreat. But without the inherit bad-ass MO-FO label one is tagged with just by showing up to such a micro managed to an inch of their not long for this corporate world or relevancy or remaining an actual functioning business entity that isn't hemagering money or under a grand jury investigation with more indictments to follow from the prosecutors' office if the criminal charges magnet start up with questionable business practices, several ethical breaches of protocol and just common decency, one count of sexual misconduct with a dirigible and multi formal charges over multi jurisdictional state lines 15 counts of known acts of human rights violations as well as 3 additional counts of unknown acts that defy all reason or ability to decipher what is actually happening, but it looks, to put it in purely technical terms, hella freaky and gnarly for dayz, yo. Anyway, Chicago 17 all timer, hall of famer, first ballot, unanimous, all day, every day. If you can't save the date, hold the night. 😀

Biscuit, The blonde fella singing here is not other than Peter Cetera, who is also the vocalist to the theme of "The Karate Kid 2", a follow up on a classic I believe you have yet to watch in your other youtube channel. He is still touring, though his voice, as one could have predicted, has lost that ability to reach the higher notes. Chicago has a few good songs but the best 2 are this one and "If you leave me now" (since you are not the romantic type, I doubt it will move you much). Whenever you finally decide to watch the before mentioned film, make note to listen to the song FIRST (The Glory of Love) and choose a copy that shows the lyrics only, as the original videoclip shows part of the movie.

Another great song that takes me back to the high-school dances.

Love your reactions and love your accent! Keep up the great work

This track was remade by an R&B group called AZ Yet back in 1996 in acapella.

2 years!! Congrats Bisscute. I've been subbed since you've had under 100K subs

I love this song!!!!

They did alot of different tips for music Saturday in the park is a really fun song. Or induction into the Hall Fam. Is good.

😮

You should here the whole song (audio version), there is an unexpected treat at the end!!

Hi Biss, great reaction as usual. The word you were looking for was harmonies between the vocals (not harmonics, close and we knew what you meant and that's what's important). This was Chicago from the 80s, and they were great (this was from around the time when the Bee Gees were putting out some of their hits), but they had an almost completely different sound from their earlier stuff (maybe due to some band members joining and leaving I think), which was also very good they'd just had the ability to adapt to the changing musical public taste, just as well the best artists could. From the same era of the band there is there biggest hit "If You Leave Me Now" which is a beautiful song as well, but I you'd also love some of their earlier stuff like 25 or 6 to 4, which is a lot more guitar and rock based than the more pop, love song vibe which you get with this song, but I think you should really love as well, it's almost like listening to a different band (it was 10+ years before this song so it's not really surprising). I also love your take on songs and your personal take on what you get from the song and how it relates to you personally, you seem like a really nice person, which I'm sure is true. Thanks again for the reaction and looking to morez you always put a smile on my face.

You’re eye makeup looks great Bisscute. You’re so pretty I can’t take it!!!! Aaaawwwwe!!!Hahahaha! 😉😆 Anyway all silliness aside, Chicago is most definitely a rad band. So many great hits. If you have seen the original Karate Kid movies then you have heard “Glory of Love” by David Foster who opens this song with his singing. At first I thought you were about to say his voice sounded familiar but you didn’t ha but I thought that simply for the fact they have many good songs that get played everywhere, and even their solo gigs, these dudes just knew how to write good songs. 🤘🎸🤘

If you want to see a totally different and super energetic Chicago try Beginnings from their first album.

Hello Bisscute! good reaction!

Peter Cetera one of a kind voice 😊

Thanks you awesome ❤❤❤

hi bisscute !!this is insane !!! you got too much beauty in you !!!!! greetings from the first and you last fan !

im a big fan of Chicago band❤❤❤

Loved this song when I was 15 years old , awesome song to react too bisscute

Peter Cetera left Chicago in 1985 and went solo. His next hit in 1986 was Glory of Love. I love that song. I think you will too. Please give it a listen.

The word you're looking for with the combination of the multiple voices is what we call "harmonies", so you basically had it. Also, what you were explaining about yourself is what we call "stubborn". Ha! Ok, what you were describing isn't exactly stubborn, because stubborn usually means being pig headed and refusing to change your mind no matter what, and in what you explained, you knew you were wrong, and it's not like you wouldn't change your mind, but it sounded like you meant you were just too embarrassed to admit you're wrong. I don't know what word would be appropriate for that, but I would think it's still kind of stubborn, because you may accept your wrong, but that isn't going to matter to the other person if you can't own up to it, and say it to them so that they know you do. It's like, does a tree that falls in the forest make a sound if no one's there to hear it? Maybe your acceptance will lead to your own growth, but if you don't communicate it to others, it's only helping or hurting yourself. If they don't hear it, they won't know that it happened.

You'll like the Canadian band April Wine, my fav is Sign of the Gypsie Queen, but all their music is good.

Great reaction to a great song and band. You are just such an absolute Sweetheart. 😀😃😄😁😊

🇨🇦 One of my favourite bands ever ! But there is two versions of Chicago. There is the Chicago Transit Authority version with Terry Kath and then the Chicago version after Terry Kath died ! R.I.P. Terry was probably one of the top ten best Guitar players ever ! The signature tune from the earlier era of 1968 - 1978 is "25 or 6 to 4" (the Tanglewood version is best) ! My favourite during the second version of Chicago is "If you leave me now" ! 🇨🇦

Hello dear Bisscute, a pleasure as always to see and hear you. What beautiful lyrics and music of this emblematic song from Chicago, personally I find it very melencholic or nostalgic, it brings back pleasant memories of a time that will no longer return, however, I find the lyrics very current, it does not go out of style, thank you for bring it to the channel. And speaking of nostalgia, on this occasion I want to make a suggestion for a song but not in Spanish, as I often do, now it is a song in French, it is: Les feuilles mortes, performed live in 1976 by the actor and French singer Ives Montand. Greetings and a hug from Mexico City.

It was nice to hear the standalone version of this song. I'm accustomed to the little medley mix featured on one of their Greatest Hits compilations where another song called Get Away is tacked onto the end and boosts the energy and tempo - it actually works kind of nice, to be honest.

The singer Peter Citera had his jaw broken that's why he doesn't open his mouth much when he sings !

this song 😢can't help it 😭

I remember when this came out... Way to much air time back then.. However, a very tight sound and performance from a band of serious studio talent. Biss... Harmonics are notes, HARMONIES are when singers sing together.

Приятная музыка! Приятный репортаж! Приятная Biss!❤

I'm just here to listen to Biss pronounce her r's.

I get what you mean, Biss, about having it eat at you for being wrong. It's not uttering the apology that is the problem, it's facing the fact we were wrong, and possibly just HOW wrong we were. And for me, the only reason I would not apologize, or at least have trouble saying an apology, is cos it would seem so trite and insufficient. Almost like, to actually say it would be like an insult because it's not nearly good enough. Then you're stuck ; either you're a rotten person for not apologizing at all, or you're total weaksauce for thinking a simple sorry will make up for anything - and that's where you are also right, in that actions speak louder than words. SHOW the sorry, don't just say it. That's what I've learned and that is how I roll. I hope you will check out more Chicago, especially the stuff from their 17 album, and his solo stuff, namely Glory of Love.

I was starting University. First year. I love the song, but 70's are My favorite Chicago period.

Yeah Chicago it's old school ❤

Yes, sweetheart, it's hard for all of us to say we're sorry🙂

the slow songs of 80s check too Peter Certera solo songs like the glory of love , in chicago my favorites this and You re my inspiration ,

It's called Harmonizing Miss Biss ❤❤❤😮😅😊

Love you bisscute
