Reactors

Welcome to My Secret Indulgence -
Reaction Videos!

This is a series highlighting YouTube creators who do reaction videos, primarily to music videos, for you to check out. Some are dramatic, some are low-key; some are intellectual and others emotional. Whatever their reactions are, it's always entertaining to see some of our favourite songs being listened to, often for the first time. It's like we're seeing our own reactions for the first time! That's why I've decided to create this ever-growing list of YouTube reactors - to pay homage to those who go on camera with their own reactions.

The Kel 'N' Rich Show

This channel is the home of married couple Kel and Rich in South Florida. Their YouTube page was originally established in memory of their late son, but in 2020 Kel was attacked by a dog and they went on hiatus while she recovered. They continued for a few more years but now seem to have been offline for three years. Will they come back?

Kel explains in several of their reaction videos that she has very strong reactions to music because she was a classically trained musician growing up. She mentions she was not allowed to indulge in rock music, so her reactions are genuine. Rock and metal are completely new to her and her delight is infectious, especially for symphonic metal. She is moved by not only music, but performance, vocals, and lyrics! Rich acts as a musical maitre d' to the music he's grown up with, plus lots of newer stuff, new even to him. My only hope is that they will return someday - there's so much more to react to!

Kel 'n' Rich are on Patreon, which may ro may not be active at this time.
