Pat Benetar was trained as an opera singer, which explains her incredible voice.

The guitarist is her husband and one of the most influential music producers of his era as well as one of the best guitarists and songwriters you will find. They are still touring and kicking ass. Pat Benatar is more known for her hard rock but this track was huge in the 80s. Won 4 Grammy's in a row for best female vocalist. Refuses to be put into the Rock HOF without her husband. Legend.

Uuughhhh, such ignorance of earlier women in rock is staggering in that comment. You can't throw a stone in the 60s/70s period film genre without finding a Grace Slick Jefferson Airplane/Starsip song on the soundtrack.

Well maybe if more women were into singing rock it wouldn't have been that way. Women were more into being groupies.

You NEED to react to her song Promises in the Dark. Absolutely beautiful. Shes amazing. Thx for reacting to this song.

Pat Benatar. Ann Wilson. Amy Lee. Bonnie Tyler. Stevie Nicks. Suzi Quatro. Joan Jett. LZZY Hale. Patti Smith. So many great women of Rock that would fill a whole reaction night 😊

I think women in rock don't get the respect they deserve but with that said the style has so many great men of rock and so few of real great women of rock it's easy to overlook them but a definite shame. They are powerful with their voices. To be able to become great in a field of men they really should get the props they deserve

Love her "Hit me with your best shot" my favorite ❤️

Pat Benatar was the first woman ever to be played on MTV,...and her song "You Better Run" was the 2nd song to be played on MTV. "All Fired Up" & "Treat Me Right"....& "You Better Run" are my faves.

Pat has been married to the lead guitarist. For I think almost 40 years. They started together and they’ve stayed together many many years. I believe she had eight platinum albums. This is one of her slower songs but Pat can rock it out too. There’s a video with her live singing…heart breaker. Excellent jam

"Whatever we deny or embrace, for worse or for better, we belong, we belong together." My favorite line she ever recorded.

Please do more pat guys!! What a rock legend

Nice reaction. Pat was the first female artist ever on MTV when it first came on the air. And the second video played was hers. Not this song though. Pat and her husband had a string of hits in the 80's. Her husband is the guitarist. they're still together and still performing. This was a pop hit from them but most of her songs fall into the rock genre. Please do more Pat Benatar. She deserves it. She met Dick Clark before she became famous. Later on, she would perform on his show American Band Stand.

Love Is A Battlefield! ❤ U guys! Keep the hits coming!

You gotta do some of her harder, louder stuff! Pat had 4 top 5 albums in a row in the 80s. Hell Is For Children is amazing -- great message and a real rocker. Also You Better Run, Promises in the Dark, Heartbreaker, All Fired Up, Invincible. Hit Me With Your Best Shot. Tons of hits.

I love this song. Everyone raves about her powerhouse vocals, but she's also capable of great delicacy & expressiveness. I think Painted Desert, Diamond Fields and Strawberry Wine are underrated & unfairly neglected songs. She's got far more than the usual top 2 or 3 over requested hits, definitely worth exploring.

She was a little 5 ft. powerhouse of a woman! Strong powerful voice in a small woman!

Was? She's still kickin' it! lol

This woman ruled the charts in her day. She’s got a huge repertoire with both up tempo and low hits. The guitarist is killer and just happens to be her husband of many, many years. A total class act.

That’s such a powerful and deep song! It makes my heart melt and gives me goosebumps no matter how often I listen to it! Thanks for your reaction

Pat Benatar is a power singer. I love the power in her voice. She's not one to mess with. Few of her other songs: Shadows Of The Night, Invincible, Fire and Ice, Promises In The Dark. Her most iconic song is Love Is A Battlefield and you need to react to it please! Asia, you and BJ belong together.

The angelic voices in the background add a kick to the song. Brings out more emotion to the song on top of the lyrics. It was a very well done song by Pat Benatar

Children's choir on the chorus of a song can be really powerful if done correctly, and this song is one of the best examples of that. Another example is 'Young' by Hollywood Undead, which is an angry rock/rap song, but in both of those songs the children sound innocent and pure.

Thanks for this. I hadn't realized you hadn't done Pat. You definitely need to see more of her, because this is a ballad and she can kick ass. You'll also love the live version of Joan Jett doing "I Hate Myself For Loving You." And you've already heard Sade and Kate Bush. They have a ton of great stuff that sounds much different from what you've heard. You have a lot of joy in your future. :-)

A and B this was one of the first songs that helped me think deeper about music as an entity that drives passions of all sorts. I took it , not as love driven, but purpose driven. It was like a permission slip to grow away from childhood and look for ways to externalize curiosities I had and explore the talents I had nurtured so far in my life. It was a very freeing song for me. Musically, this song takes dissonance and puts it in your face! Minor keys and oddly paced drum beats and a children’s choir, along with Pat’s penetrating insistent vocals makes this a powerful piece of music.

Female rockers like Pat, Joan Jett, and Heart can hold their own with their male counterparts. Love them!

Legendary song. Solid gold. Love you guys.

Pat has one of the most beautiful, and the powerful voices ever. She can sing anything. I saw her live in 84, and she was fantastic.

Pat is a huge rabbit hole! She and her husband (guitarist and writing partner) is still a force to be reckoned with! A must: Fire and Ice

Love this song! The drums are awesome!

This is my favorite of her...it touch my soul each time

This was one of her softer songs after she had done more rock songs. She as pregnant when she did this song which is why the whole video is shot the way it is. Love Pat. She was amazing in concert and back in the day I wanted to be her!!

Nice reaction! Pat has so many hits, just a powerhouse! this was a big hit for her Try Promises in the Dark, Shadows of the Night- amazing songs.

Love is a Battlefield is another one of her song. Totally different genre

Can’t mistake the sound of this decade… incredible talent and such awesome music…

Pat Benatar. My absolute Favorite. I Even did the cover band back in the 80's. ❤❤❤

My favorite Benatar is Promises In The Dark! And this song is about her and her lead guitar player/husband Neil Gerardo💙🎼💋

I really like that it's a mature love song, acknowledging problems, while confirming the commitment.

My first Pat Benatar concert 1981, she is still touring today!

Promises in the dark by Pat is a must.

Always enjoy your reactions you guys 👍🏽👍🏽 Next up for Pat you should do Fire and Ice, Love Is A Battlefield and Hit Me With Your Best Shot🙏🏽✌🏽❤️

It sounds better to me, today than it did in high school. I loved how it sounded, but no context. 32 years into a marriage, I feel the lyrics a lot more. "I've invested too much time. A vocal tour de force for Pat.

Back around 2003 or 2004, I saw her perform an acoustic show with her husband Neil Giraldo on guitar. - It was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He’s a virtuoso on acoustic guitar and her voice is still amazing. Such a great experience.

80's music is the BEST!!!

Love Pat since 1980... she has many great songs for you to react to

Love you guys. Thanks for being open to the performances. Just saw the Dobie Grey and now this. I get moved, you are moved. The world needs more of this. And, this one We Belong is truly special. BTW: If you get the chance, this single just gets better with age and if you see the 2022 live version of this, wow, the feels just grow. Thank you both, again. Peace.

She had many hits and rock icon from early 80s, she was all over radio. This song softer than most of her songs

You should go deeper with Pat Benatar. This might be later, when she went a little softer. She might be Queen of power-pop in the late 70s, early 80s. She had a bunch of very catchy hits.

This was her "polished", "Pop" song/video but she's a rocker at heart. Listen to "Heartbreaker", "Promises in the Dark" "Treat me right"....love the react!

You 2 are one of my top 5 reactors especially when u hit the 80s! Check Stevie Nicks.....Stand Back....she is absolutely breathtaking 😍

While I loved ALL of Pat Benatar's music, This one always hit hard for me... As you mentioned... this is not the starry eyed "in your face" type of love song... this is a deep down in the very core of your soul feeling that even though there may be problems among the good times, their relationship is on solid ground and only together does it make the truly beautiful thing it is,

Yep, gonna be stuck in all our heads for ages now 😂

Love is a battlefield and hit me with ur best shot are definitely a must

The One Love & Wuthering Heights are my favorites!

One of my favorite songs of hers. Check out "All Fired Up". Kick ass song and video.

More Pat Benatar PLEASE!!!! Heartbreaker!!!!

My favorite song of hers. That break down at the end...

This reminds me of my childhood. Love it. 🔥

Tropico was a great album... Different, direction for her but still powerful voice. Painted Desert and Ooh Ooh Song

She is so awesome. Thank you for covering this! “Love is a Battlefield” and “Invincible” a couple of my favorites.

Pat is Classically trained in opera, but she decided to be a Rock 💫 Star.

Pat is one of a kind.

That's an opera singer. She doesn't act like it's such an accomplishment to hit the high note.

Amazing. Incredible and from Long Island too

It’s criminal that she wasn’t inducted into the rock hall of fame last year. She had so many hits in the late 70s through the late 80s.

She performed with Martina McBride on the CMT Crossroads show. There are several songs on KZread of them singing together. They sound as if they are sisters.

Please react to more Pat!! Her voice is so strong and amazing.

"Shadows Of The Night" is Amazing....!

She has so many good songs!!

The lyrics are great in this song. So much truth.

Im coming from All Fired Up. I had suggested this in the comments then scrolled down and saw someone write you had already done alot of Pat's stuff. So dug it up. Love this tune. Thnx guys!

One of the best songs ever

this is what i'm talking about. new songs. majority of polls are songs you've already heard before so like when someone recommends something new you hear for the first time.

My queen of Rock

I’m to your channel and I’m loving all the music as I grew up with most if not all of them. I come from a very musical family and have appreciation to every types of music

Great song. She can sing!

Big thumbs up from NYC

Pat was pregnant with her daughter while doing this video...she has a classically trained voice (opera), and her guitarist husband (Neil Giraldo) made a perfect duo...they'll still married, and tour together...try "Shadows Of The NIght" too...

I love pat

❤Pat ...Hell is for children - still on my daily playlist.

Well,now. You two need to be introduced to Pat Benatar in her natural element. These songs, YOU BETTER RUN, HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT, LOOKING FOR A STRANGER, & most definitely her most notable song, LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD. You will find her voice powerful and one that helped define the 8o's. Speaking of ladies of the 8o's, you need to bring g in the impressive Chrissie Hynde and her powerhouse comrades, also known as the Pretenders. Suggested listing, MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, BACK ON THE CHAIN GANG, MY CITY WAS GONE, and their first hit, BRASS IN POCKET. There is nothing like the Pretenders. But then you haven't leaned into the Eurythmics yet, either.

Gorgeous song.

I love this song, Pat Benetar was my biggest crush in the early 80's.... and you may not realize this but I am absolutely certain you have heard another Pat Benetar song before...Hit Me with Your Best Shot. There's no way you haven't heard that LOL

Love Is A Battlefield!!!

"You better run" and "Shadows of the night" are my favs and bangers

I always thought Fire and Ice shows off the power of her vocals in the chorus.

This is her best.

She was a trained opera singer.

Juste rewatched Talladega Nights just for this song when he finish the final lap on foot 😆 tx a lot ❤️

Hey guys, there’s a lot to mine here. Very cool rock couple ( Pat & Neil ), still touring. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Saw her live in 1982. Geez, am I that old?

"All Fired Up" and "Love is a Battlefield" are my 2 favorite Pat Benetar songs. I wanted to ask if I can make a simple request. "In the Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics and "You're the Inspiration" by Chicago. I would love for you both to react to those songs. Thanks guys.

The first 2 albums are perfect

I like ya style.............................feeling it as much as hearing it.

Oh there are so so many more ! She’s the 80’s queen of rock !

Excellent Reaction... check out her song- Love is a Battlefield 👍

Her 'love interest' of the last several decades, is the guitarist, Neil Giraldo. Nearly 40 years married now.

For the other side of Pat Benatar, you must listen to Heartbreaker. Rocks!

Yesss 😀❤️❤️❤️

So many girls wanted to "be" like her in the 80's!!😉😆

Don't be fooled. Pat can rock with the best of them. Check out Hit Me With Your Best Shot or He'll is for Children next. Totally different vibe. Pat is a legend and a pioneer.
