Guilty Pleasure: Reaction videos by Jamel_AKA_Jamal
So a few months ago I ran across this guy's YouTube page and I've been hooked. He's a good natured tall black man that grew up listening to gangsta-rap. He loathes today's music and sought to broaden his music horizons and does reaction videos from artists dating back to the 1950's through maybe the early 2000's.
Watching his videos is like introducing a new friend to your record/8-track/cassette/CD/MP3/iTunes collection. His latest discover is "The Talking Heads."
He's reviewed all kinds of music from bands including The Who, Queen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Meatloaf, Crosby Stills and Nash, Neil Young, Elvis, The Carpenters, Redbone, In Living Color, Rush, The Moody Blues, Dire Straits, Selena. I think I even saw some Vicente Fernandez in there too.
I saw his reaction to a music video produced by Riot Games, as well as one to a music video from Living Colour. To me, he's really annoying; however, I appreciate that he enjoys rock music.

There are a hundred of these people out there on YT, and I’ve only watched a very few, but just a few days ago I was intrigued about Jamel watching John Prine’s “Sam Stone.” He seemed to be sincerely moved by the song and I was equally moved by his take on it.
