The Best Music Reaction Channels for Song Lovers on Youtube
Music Reactions on Youtube are a great way to experience songs with other people. You get to see people listen to music for the first time, over and over again. Below I listed the best Youtube Channels for Music Reactions viewers will vibe with.
The Needle Drop
The Needle Drop is a Channel founded by Anthony Fantano. In this channel, Fantano reacts to as many new releases as he can. He even calls himself “the Internet’s busiest music nerd.” And it seems like he really is. He not only reacts to new singles and albums, but he also gives in-depth reviews of everything he heard. By in-depth, he really delved deep into how each body of work he listens to. From the instrumentals to the lyrics to the voice. Not many people doing Music Reactions can say that.
Anthony also runs two channels full-time. One for reactions and the other for reviews. He also runs a Patreon where he hosts a bunch of fun activities for his loyal subscribers. They can participate in music suggestions, polls, early video releases, and much more.
One thing to note about Anthony Fantano is that heavily scrutinizes the music he reviews. He follows a review scale that seems equivalent to grading an AP exam. He works this hard!
Steven in Stereo
Steven in Stereo stars Steven Walker and his fire reactions to the latest releases. Steven is known for being a positive soul, being happy to listen to anything he can. He can even listen to bad songs and find the best parts of what most people are disappointed about. He is just so easy to watch and hear music with.
If things are great when he listens to bad music, wait till he hears the good stuff. He goes absolutely bonkers when his favorite releases music. For example, he had the time of his life when Lana Del Rey released her latest albums. He did Lana reactions years ago and loved them, but once “Norman F-cking Rockwell” got released, his previous reactions were outdone. When you hear your favorite artist release their best music yet, you get overwhelmed with emotions. This is exactly what happened to him.
Steven is definitely one of the more chill reactors in this community. People will be happy to listen to music alongside him.
Caitlin Marie Reacts
Caitlin Marie is one of the most wholesome reactors on this platform. Like Steven in Stereo, she is happy to listen to much of the music she hears. She also loses her sanity when her favorites release music. Caitlin usually reacts to pop, indie, and singer-songwriter artists.
If you are a fan of Taylor Swift, you are in luck because Caitlin is a fellow Swiftie. You should also watch her reaction to “Folklore.” It is one of her most emotional reactions ever. It is raw, heart-wrenching, and tear-inducing. You would definitely feel like you are in the room with her. You can even tell she has been through a lot with her facial expressions.
Overall I absolutely love Caitlin Marie! I personally think she can make friends with everyone. She is an absolute joy to listen to music with!
Reacts by Ash
Music Reactions by Ash are hella entertaining. Ashley Ippolito, the star of this channel, gives us great content we can quote, meme, and reference. Ashley’s reactions are absolutely hilarious. You can tell her blind first listens are genuine when she loses her sanity over great and bad things. She also pulls hilarious memes and cultural references when commenting on any song. For example, when she has something to say, she pulls up a video meme out of the blue. This is what makes her iconic.
Ash also has a film/tv show reaction channel on top of her music reactions. That channel is equally as iconic as this one. She memes, gasps, comments, and jokes around. Even her reactions to horror content are hilarious.
She also goes by the name “Internet Mom.” A term referring to what her fans called her, mostly because of how she talks to her fans the way an actual mother would.
Blake Mclain
I would like to call Blake Mclain’s Youtube channel one of a kind. What makes Blake so special is that he is a producer. So when he reacts to any song, he focuses on the production of the music. He even teaches the general public how each technical element of a song. He dissects each to give us reasons to love the producers of their craft even more.
Blake Mclain is a very important reactor to follow. Instead of focusing on lyrics, he focuses on an aspect of music not many reactors delve into. With that in mind, more producers might start to offer their reactions to music. They will definitely stand out in this virtual community.
Blake is also very easy to listen to music with. It might sound intimidating to hear commentary from a producer but he makes sure to make his viewpoints accessible. He mostly talks to the audience like a friend and provides constructional criticism in the most polite way possible.
AjayII
Confirmed by many people in the React Community, AjayII is the Queen of Music Reactions. Forget everybody else!
Just kidding! The other people on this list are amazing in their own way, but reactions to music with AjayII just hits different! Ajay, the host of this channel gives us the most extra responses to music ever. She screams, swears, and moves around to music she jams to. People might say that she is faking it but this is genuine. This is her wondrous personality illuminating the darkest depths of the internet. Every time I feel down, I make sure to watch Ajay’s videos to warm my soul.
The impact she has had on this community is massive. Many people reference her, meme her, and appreciate her a ton. Go visit her Youtube channel if you want to cleanse your soul!
