I don't think Nancy gets enough credit and recognition for her backups in this song. While Ann's voice is exceptional, Nancy is hitting those high harmonies behind her. Heart is phenomenal. I feel like the great bands disappeared in the early 90s. They don't have music like this anymore.

I have always preferred Nancys vocal style over Anns. I find them to be somewhat softer, and I think Anns sometimes can be a bit over the top. She is a great singer without a doubt, but Nancy just speaks to me more musically.

​@@caphowdy666 Alone is one of my least favorite Ann vocals. "Over the top" describes it nicely, as were many of her mid-80's leads. I always sought out Nancy's leads for a nice change of pace from all the bombast.

@@pokerface8242 Thank you. Teally nice to hear someone agree. I always preferred These dreams over Alone as far as ballads go, and that is because Nancy took lead on that. I don't wanna sound like I don't like or appreciate Anns vocals, just sometimes I just wish she would dial it back. Wild child from Brigade is one of the best examples of how over the top she can get. I thought it was an ok song but some of the vocal delivery just made me cringe, especially the random "uh oh" for no reason. When I finally heard the original by Romeos Daughter, the song sounded so much better.

I sometimes think that as well, all the good bands disappeared in the early 90's. I don't know if they did but I do remember grunge being the next big thing back then. And most of my favourite bands changed musical direction as well. Maybe it was a decline in musical quality. I know for certain I began losing interest and wasn't as enamoured by it all.

Lol late 80s beginning of 90s a ton of great bands stood up. To name just a few: Metallica, pearl jam, nirvana, simple minds. Nevertheless I like all 70-80s stuff as well.

Now you should listen to "These Dreams" Nancy is on lead vocals and Ann sings back-up, another masterpiece, and it shows Nancy has an awesome voice too! GREAT REACTION!!!!!!

Nancy is criminally underrated!! Both as a musician and a singer....those high notes in the harmony?!?! Insane!! And Ann's belts are just legendary!!! These ladies are rock godesses!!

I have a feeling you'll love "These Dreams", "All I Wanna Do (Is Make Love to You)" and "Barracuda". Anne's voice is truly a singular force of nature. She can go from a hurticane, to a soft breeze. She's equal parts sledgehammer and scalpel.

they sold talent, not sex. the sexual appeal was an afterthought. young women could learn allot from them, if they would just pay attention. if they were just selling sex, they would have no ability to draw a crowd at 70 and would be forgotten about. they arent, they are still touring.

I've been listening this song since its release in 1987. The build up between Ann's singing, Nancy's piano, and the release into the guitars still gives me goosebumps. "Alone" is an awesome song.

It was her rendition of this song that solidified Carrie Underwood's win on American Idol. And the rest is history. One of the most challenging female vocals ever, and Ann does it so effortlessly.

If you want to hear Nancy sing lead check out "These Dreams". As the story goes she had a cold and didn't like the take, even though everyone else did. She tried again when she felt better, they decided to go with the original take. In case you didn't notice Ann doesn't any full on shots in this video. She had gained a lot of weight and the big shots kept her up on the balcony, shot from a distance because she didn't fit the image management wanted.

For the "big hair" rendition, go w/ the original video version ; for a more "mature" visual, go w/ the live one. Both are excellent, vocally.

To me, 'Alone' is the best Power ballad ever. Ann's voice is just mesmerizing. Great guitar from Nancy Wilson plus harmony with Ann.

Loved the reaction Aileen. Heart's music is so timeless. Ann is one of the best vocalist ever and Nancy's guitar playing is ridiculously good. 🤘🥰

Ann said in an interview recently that she would leave nothing in reserve while performing and recording. She was particular about “Alone.” It was the best example of commitment to her work. She also enjoyed playing up the Diva side of herself in the song. Two sisters, who are highly respected pro’s for 40 plus yrs. Amazing 👈🤘

I have the pleasure of knowing Ann and Nancy

You truly feel the music Aileen! Yet another great reaction from you. Thanks from the UK. 👍

Ann Willson's voice is not only legendary, it is simply ICONIC. And yet, this is one of the few songs (especially the acoustic version) where Nancy's backup vocals SHINES to both enhance AND counter Ann's voice. The sisters (Ann and Nancy) simply have the best harmonies in any female led rock group, but the fact that their harmonies are COUNTERS (high/low) pitch perfect is completely amazing.

Two parts of your reaction to this song I absolutely love and knew you would do. The first was when you said that Ann Wilson has one of the best voices (in rock) and not "just the best female voice"; nothing could be truer and it is something I have thought for a long, looooonnnnngggg time. The power of her voice (and Nancy's as well) is incredible and rarely matched by anyone. I could listen to her quite literally all day. I actually had the chance to see her back in June from the third row of a small theatre in Toronto and, at 73, she can still hit those notes and send chills down my spine. The second thing I loved about your reaction and I knew I could count on YOU for this was when Ann hit the note in the middle of the song. Your reaction matched my own and I've listened to the song (and video) what must be hundreds of times now because I love that note (and the whole video) so much. I've been known to replay that one note over and over because I appreciate it so much. Sure it's a small obsession but you can't really blame me as there are far worse things to be obsessed about. The Wison sisters (and their band(s)) are truly treasures in the musical landscape and I simply could not do without them in my life. So grateful!! If you want to hear another female artist with an incredible sonic ability, I direct you to a good Canadian woman named Lee Aaron. You can still with "Hands On" which is a fun rock and roll song with a sonic hit you'll appreciate somewhere in the middle (🤪). Here is the KZread page: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zoioyqubj7THn7A.html I appreciate your reactions and always find them fun to watch. Keep up the great work!! ❤❤ Ooooh!!! That last line you gave was completely quotable: "Your favoutie Heart song is the one you heard last." I like that so very much, I hope you don't mind if I use it. I will, of course, always give you credit. TeeHee

I really enjoy your reactions, Aileen, and this was no exception! Heart is truly great and while there is no rush to get to these two songs please put them on your list to get to one day: A live version of "Dog and Butterfly" and their cover of the Led Zeppelin song "Battle of Evermore"! You will never regret reacting to those ones!! Have a great day,

The guy playing his guitar at 5:07, when Nancy, while jamming her own playing struts over and kisses him on the cheek was having a great day to say the least.😊

Ann Wilson has an outstanding voice and her sister Nancy, who sings a lot of the harmonies you just did has an outstanding voice herself. Plus shes an amazing acoustic guitar player with a whole lotta sass!!! 💕💕

As noted earlier the high singing back-up work is done by Anns' sister Nancy. I have always loved watching Nancy literally "Man Handle" her guitar! Such a showman, er, show-woman! In fact, when they introduced "Guitar Hero for girls" back in the day, they used Nancy Wilsons moves as the avatar!

Thank you Aileen for not only listening to but hearing what a truly legendary vocalist sounds like!!

IMO Nancy Wilson is the best female guitar player in the world.

Hands down best female duo of all time

Somewhat surprisingly, their first #1 hit, "These Dreams," has guitarist Nancy Wilson on lead vocals. A much softer, but still beautiful, voice. And as nice as the studio-version is, my personal favorite is their acoustic version: "These Dreams (Live in Seattle)" from 2002.

Ann Wilson is amazing! She sings with such power and emotion; it's beautiful. You'd love her cover of "Beware of Darkness." I would highly recommend it. Great reaction, young lady. 👍👍

I saw this tour in '85, Mr. Mister warmed up for them. There were 4 or 5 hits off of this album. Lots of MTV rotation on this one.

How could you not love them! Beautiful and incredibly talented musicians

I remember this song used to get a LOT of play on the dedication line on the radio, plenty of times from the "secret admirer". Was probably rivaled only by Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx for sheer number of requests. A lot of people don't realize this song is actually a cover of a song by i-Ten, but Heart took it to new heights. Stratospheric

"these dreams" "never" "what about love?" all great songs. nancy is a goddess on that guitar.

It’s amazing that both Ann and Nancy still have it. What a great career they’ve had.

Ann Wilson is a top tier vocalist. Love her. One of the few singers who can give me goosebumps when she does her vocals.

You bring everything to the table the music and your reactions are like 🍒s on top of your reactions keep up the outstanding work darlin ❤️

Ann Wilson is one of a kind such an incredible versatile singer.

Wonderful reaction. Heart puts so much energy into their songs it is like they devote all their heart into every performance. You articulate your feelings and thoughts so magnificently. This is why you are my favorite Reactor. I would love to see your reaction to Elvis Presley's "If I Can Dream". If you have. Reacted to this one i apologize for requesting it, but I have not found it.

Thank You Aileen, another great reaction to another great song by Heart. You can't go wrong with Heart.

This is Heart to the core. Ann's vocals are INSANE and this was their biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, where it spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1 in July 1987 and finished the year as the #2 song (only behind the #1 smash, "Walk Like An Egyptian" by the Bangles), but this video pissed the sisters off and here's why. When they saw the finished product, Nancy was completely pissed on how they shot both of them. Ann, who had gained some weight over the years was either shot from far away or just close up. Nancy said that Ann was in so much pain because of the corset they had her strapped in so much that Ann could hardly move and then every shot of Nancy was close up and full body. Nancy said that yes, she could shred the guitar with the best of them, but Ann could not only sing but she as she said "is a fucking star" and needs to be shown like the "fucking star" she is! I'm so glad that Nancy stood up for Ann at a time when too much emphasis was placed on how a recording artist "looked" in a video!

To answer your question, yes, that was Nancy Wilson riding a horse (briefly). Ann & Nancy Wilson have been long-time horse lovers, as they have raised horses and dogs as well. Glad you're loving this band.

If you liked this video, you’ll definitely want to react to “Stranded” which features Nancy on lead vocals!

This is one of those songs that I blast in my car, and simultaneously belt it out and cry…legendary song.

I've seen heart twice 1977 1979 great shows we went to alot of concerts in the 70s and 80s

My favorite Heart song and your reaction is my favorite too! Thank you and thumbs up!❤‍🔥

I always loved Heart growing up and I had a crush on Nancy!!

Nice harmonies from Nancy as well.

Saw them twice ‘86 and again in 2014. They are amazing and better than ever.

Great reaction and loved that you checked this out. You should really check out them do this live in Seattle. Acoustic, just her and a guitar. It’s so good! She has such an amazing voice.

There are so many great heart songs, and I think this is their best! You mentioned a ballad, so check out "These Dreams". Also, other songs, "Never", "Barracuda", "What About Love", "Magic Man", and "Nothin' At All"

Heart... Ann & Nancy Wilson! I could listen to their playlist over and over and never get tired of the music! These ladies have been Rockin from day one and are now Legends in the Rock World! Your reaction is awesome and they do take your breath away! Hope you listen to more Heart! Luv ya Aileen ❤️💛

One of the best vocalists of all time!

Thanks Aileen, great reaction. I'd really recommend you react to this song but from their 2003 live in Seattle concert. It's stripped back with acoustic backing from Nancy only so really lays bare how good Anne's vocals are.

Have a beautiful weekend! 🥰🐶

Beautiful reaction to a very beautiful song. I'm really enjoying you Heart ride. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks

Heart is a fascinating band for so many reasons. But one of them is that they have had at least two distinct phases when they were practically two different bands. First they were a classic '70s rock band with some folk and Led Zeppelin influences. Then in the '80s they either chose or were somewhat pressured into becoming more of a big hair / power ballads band with more pop / synth flavored songs. Looking back, we can appreciate their mastery of both types of music. But at the time, the change was a bit divisive. There were tons of Heart fans in the '80s who had no clue about their earlier work. And there were older fans who felt their '80s style wasn't true to who Ann and Nancy were. And the fact that in '90s and '00s they drifted back a bit towards are more stripped-down, non-grandiose style does seem to suggest that their '80s period wasn't totally in sync with their true feelings and art. But their talent makes whatever they do work, no matter what.

Nancy Wilson is awesome....understatement of the century! Hahaha

I've been in love with Ann Wilson since I was a little kid, and my older brother introduced me to them. I've never not been in love with her to this day. Her voice alone at times almost stuns my soul. What an amazing woman.

That song is a masterpiece

That note she hits, wow! Amazing

If you want to experience their more folk influenced songs then I heartily recommend ‘Dream of The Archer’.

Great reaction Aileen...aaaand live ya t-shirt 🔥🤘😎

New subscriber here, loving all your reactions and looking forward to more! You Rock!

Nancy Wilson was very dreamy rockin out on her guitar

The only vocalist to ever bring chills to my arms when she sings

I love how much you enjoyed every single minute of this video. I really like the stage concert setting and the slow parts showing off the venue and themselves.

I have been in love with both Wilson sisters since the 70s. LOL They're just so kick ass & beautiful.

Great reaction - thanks for saying about not needing a separate category for female singers, it does bug me when people pretend they are two separate boxes. Other Heart songs I'd suggest would be _Barracuda_ and _These_ _Dreams,_ both excellent. Enjoy!

Ann-Freaking-Wilson! I would love for you to also give early Linda Ronstadt some listens! The two greatest rock female voices as far as pure tone and power!

The song "These Dreams" has Nancy singing lead and was one of their biggest songs . The song was first offered to Stevie Nicks but she had enough songs already for the album she was recording. Nancy had a bit of a cold when she did the vocals and it added just a tinge of grit to her voice. I always felt more drawn to Nancy since I also play guitar.....although she is much better than me. Ann can also play guitar, and both ladies play piano.

what most people dont know is that heart didnt originally write this song , they bought it from a studio band, but they DEFINATELY made it theirs , ann wilson's name is ALL over the title of this song ;)

I grew up with Heart's music. They really are fantastic. Hope you react to "Magic Man" at some point. Another favorite of mine from Heart.

I saw this as a kid and Nancy is the reason why I became a guitarist ❤

Beautiful ❤️❤️

You should check out their performance of These Dreams live in Seattle. One of the best live performances I have ever seen. Ann is an amazing singer but Nancy has an amazing voice as well and she really shines in this performance.

Your music choices are ever expanding. Thanks for all you do. I really enjoy watching. You have a friend from Chicago

Ann and Nancy Wilson, inspired by Led Zeppelin one of the first kick ass female rock bands! Love their passion! Great reaction! ❤

You should hear her live in concert, just amazing.

TOP 10 SONG OF ALL TIME !

Sweet Aileen, your sumptuous reactions are just as kickass as this band! You're a joy. ❤️🥳🥂

Loved the big hair days saw them during that time beautiful and so talented what a group

You were my 2nd favorite reaction personality-now that your doing them everyday-ur my favorite

I grew up about a mile from them. Their Dad was the Principal of the local junior high school.

Great song! They are awesome! By the way, love your shirt!

Watch Kennedy center honors when they play Zeppelin. Robert Plant was crying

My favorite songs by Heart are “Fallen From Grace” co-written by Sammy Hagar and “Will you Be There” with Nancy Wilson on lead vocals.

Heart rocked it out in the 80's! Ann Wilson did a solo song BEST MAN IN THE WORLD which is amazing, It was for the 80's Eddie Murphy movie The Golden Child.

I think this was a kind of a comeback track for them; it had been totally quiet around Heart for a decade or so and then they suddenly burst back on the scene with this song (and the accompanying album). I prefer their early stuff, but have grown to appreciate this over the years

You are so correct! They are considered the greatest singers of all time. And believe me when I tell you, they had to fight for everything in a world dominated by men . And they did it. Became legendary!

This music is perfect for this fantastic day here in the UK, we have sun and warmth in October!!! Its a near perfect day here...

This is my dad's favorite song by Heart. When he passed 3 years ago I couldn't escape, heart was everywhere. Nowadays though, it's easier for me to listen to them without tearing up.

Heart “ how can I refuse” live version. Best Heart song!

Ann Wilson is a rock goddess. And I can’t help but laugh silently at the band’s antics, so 80s hair metal-ish and rock musicians were so over the top back in those days. And now after a long while of grunge and post punk and nu metal we all started to miss the 80s for real. Variation is the shite.

Nancy Wilson was my 70's/80's Rock crush. Ann does that yell and most songs even better live!

They have been a part of my life since I was 16 their first album. Best voice ever and the harmonizing just Wow. "The Dog and the Butterfly". One of my favs check it out.

One of my favourite songs to play keyboards on in Rock Band

when I saw them on the Bad Animals tour the song that bowled me over was Wait for an answer, Ann Wilson is just awesome

If you really want to hear the sisters harmonize, definitely check out *Straight On.* Real funky and fierce, one of my favourites from Heart ❤️

❤..... loving it , damn forgot about this masterpiece

"I've got to remember to breath when I listen to Heart" - Well, here are a few more Heart recommendations to help you with your breathing exercises: "Barracuda" "Magic Man" "Love Alive" "Nada One" "Sing Child" "Heartless" "Without You" (Badfinger cover) "Cry to Me" "Say Hello" "Straight On" "Dog & Butterfly" "Mistral Wind"

Nancy kicking it with that guitar. Rock on love that blonde. Anns voice top form with this song. What not to love. Thanks Aileen
