Rickroll
You had a chance to do a Rickroll lol
I know. I was so wishing it was a rickroll!!!
Wasted an opportunity to do a Rick roll
Not making that a rickroll is a big dissapointment
It just makes you smile to know that someone so talented and kind can have an extended stay in the spotlight with a song that is one of the catchiest pop tunes of all time.
Check out his cover of Foo Fighters "Everlong". Just Rick and an Acoustic guitar. It's here on YouTbe and it's impressive.
@@perriephillips1549 He really is very talented. I liked his youtube videos from the pandemic, just at home with a guitar. 🥰
Well said!
I agree.
No Rick, we're only making fun of Producer Michael... :)
Rick has aged like fine wine. So glad seeing someone out of the 80s in good health great spirits and back at work❤
Seems like a genuinely nice guy, glad he's getting a second chance at singing
He's not getting a second chance, he's giving us a second chance to fall in love with his music :)
well worth seeing live, i went to his concert in my home city Cardiff before covid.....he was excellent, his voice is as good now as it was in 87, probably cos he has never ruined it by wearing it out
I remember the days where it was impossible to find an interview of Rick without getting Rick Rolled 50 million times first. Good times.
Did you see this interview with him?? I thought it was way better than this crappy CBS one. CBS always disappoints!
czcams.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/video.html
He still looks fabulous and still sounds great! I never get tired of his songs!
Dido.
I feel so fortunate to have grown up in this wonderful time. The 70s and 80s where great.
You youngsters should've been around in the early 1800s, to listen to Beethoven live. I'm more blessed! blah blah blahhh
were
Might have been great for you but do you know how much more racism than it was then I'm sure you do wasn't great for everyone. It also wasn't the greatest for women who were constantly being beaten and treated a second class citizens
@@bladetheatrics constantly beaten? really? at least they had more money in their pocket, and could hear good music as they were being beaten.
@@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325 OMG
Sir, it's an honor to be winessing a comment from a person that's over 200 years old. You must've seen so many things!
I was the guy who handed him his tickets for McCartney. It was in Fort Worth Texas @ Dickies Arena. (I work at box office) Very very cool guy & let me shake his hand & his wife took our picture.
My nephew is 11 and he has an insane obsession with this song. Unbelievable, this never gets old. I hope the 80s music makes a comeback
Me too! I'm 66 yrs young! I danced to this song when I was a kid too! I hope your nephew plays an Instrument, he has a ear for Music!
He is a great singer such a deep voice
I love people who are down-to-earth. Just an easy-going, self-aware guy.
This is absolutely heart-warming. Rick is filled with gratitude and extremely humble. I am 54 and still never get sick of this song!!
I love Rick's humility. 🙏
One of the very best singers!!
Man, he STILL has such a great head of hair! I'm just two years younger and I didn't have the same luck. Anyway, I'm really happy to see him doing so well. He seems like a really normal, nice, and decent guy. I'm still a fan.
You said it…..I lost most of mine
@@kylequintana Remember the saying: "Not every head is perfect. Some are covered with hair." 🙂
A Legend for all the right reasons. And a Sinatra album would be insane.
I agree!
Here Rick sings Fly to the Moon 💙 czcams.com/video/dGIywSN4J7g/video.html
I love him. I was a teenager when his songs came out. He still looks great!
Rick Astley never gets old. Love it!
I love Rick Astley’s music and he is really talented. Thank you for being an amazing sport and never giving us up!!
I'd pay to watch him sing Sinatra. He sounded so so good!!!
Talented guy and I'm glad he kept his sense of humor and humility.
He had these vibes like Alexia Vasileiou in Greece.
He is so humble. I like him. And he is still handsome.
I remember hearing it all the time! Ah love! We were young and wanting a guy to sing that to us! I am 57 now. Rick, that song lives on FOREVER!
Yes we were. I liked a few of his tunes.
I don't know why but this interview made me cry. I was an 80s teen too. So many good memories came flooding back. Only 80s teens know what I'm talking about. By far the best decade to be a teenager. Rick is forever a part of that legacy.
That song takes me back to 9th grade- my first year in high school- 1987 was a scary year starting a new school with no friends
i used to dance on it when i went to the UK for english courses . Great period for sure
Rick, thank you for returning to what you were born to do. You are a blessing! And Anthony Mason, I bid CBS Mornings farewell when you left the daily broadcast. It just isn't the same without you! Thank you for bringing us this story about an amazing performer!
Rick's talent has made the world a better place!
Just went to NKOTB Mixtapes last night, loved seeing all of them, awesome show, made me feel young again. Love Rick Astley!
I can’t believe I got Rick rolled by CBS themselves. Good job!
"I have learned to roll with it"😂😂😂 omg the pun I am dying
He got a gifted voice. I've been listening to his songs recently. I now love them more than ever. I was in diapers when songs came out in the 80s so I never care for 80 music then. But wow he is amazing. Not only a great singer but a wonderful man.
Cry For Help is amazing.
He is so nice. I hope he knows we all love him. If it's any prank that never gets old and never ceases to make me laugh is a Rick Roll.
Ele começou com cara de bebê, e tá envelhecendo bem pois continua bonito carismático.
I love Rick Astley! I had his poster in my room as a teenager. I'm so happy to see he is back and as awesome as ever. ❤️
I love Rick Astley too! I have a t-shirt with him in my wardrobe, and my dream is to meet him and get his autograph 💗
I will take getting Rick-rolled anytime- always loved his songs. Just saw the mixtape tour in Florida and even my 17yo was gushing how exciting it was to see the man live in concert.
For those who haven't seen it, search for Rick's cover of Foo Fighter's "Everlong" (done from his own home during the pandemic). It's remarkably good.
Thank you for this. 💚
Rick seems refreshingly real. I wish there were more stars like him.
It’s likely why he never was really a household name in America despite all his success. He was absolutely totally forgettable as a personality.
Rick Astley was my favorite singer in the 1980s. He virtually changing my musical appetite from kids songs into adult pop ones.
This couldn't have happened to a better person! I'm so happy for him and this insane journey
What a wonderful interview of a brilliant handsome gifted songwriter, singer, producer a great artist.
And a really nice guy.
So very awesome to see you again, Mr. Aptly. I went out and bought your first album immediately after hearing you on the radio. It's a journey I'll never forget. And now...let's never say goodbye again 💔
An absolute legend, he’s a great example for us all
Also Rick, you look GREAT! You've aged wonderfully.
He’s still got it !!!😍😍😍
I encourage you check out his two latest albums ‘Beautiful Life’ or ‘50’- hope to hear some of these on tour
This just makes me smile! What a great career and couldn’t be for a sweeter guy and wonderful family! God bless them!
Rick was one of my favorite singers of all time. Bless his sweet heart....what a true blessing to his wife, family and his fans that NEVER have forgotten him.
Everyone! Go see the Mixtape Tour 2022 with Rick, New Kids on the Block, En Vogue and Salt n Pepa! Just saw the show in Seattle recently, the show is high energy nostalgic fun and the events staff who see many concerts, said they loved it.
Loved his voice and his songs. One of my favorite dance routines was for "Together Forever" that I wrote for classes at my studio.
His Music is timeless!!
His music has seen a resurgence and I’m so happy for him
Rick Astley = Legend
Rick is an amazing singer and so handsome. I had the biggest crush on him. I loved watching this. I would love to meet him or go to a concert. I will never get tired of Together Forever. I just bought the new album. Amazing! Keep Rocking Rick!🎤🎶
It's great that Rick Astley is so good natured and capable of laughing at himself.
The song is awesome. Rick Astley is awesome. It was just funny because somebody decided to pick this song to trick us into clicking on a link to whatever we were clicking for back then in the days and that opening beat just kills it. LMAO! I fell for it so many times. We all love this song and Rick's dancing and all. It will never die. God Bless Rick Astley.
Loved Rick Astley back in the 80’s & now. ❤
this guy is so amazing , thunder voice , perfection
good smiley music. happy days. really good voice. thanks Rick😍
Ah yes, the Rick roll! Still love his voice!
My 9-y-o son LOVES Rick Astley...we've been listening to A LOT of him these days!
Glad to have lived my teens during Rick Astley debut album, which spawned a handful of great hits. I'm surprised this interview failed to mention the producers behind the success of Rick Astley, which is the power house trio, Stock, Aitken, and Waterman (SAW). They had a huge hand in Rick's success worldwide. SAW spawned a lot of great hits back in the 80s for other artists as well, such as Bananarama, Donna Summer, Kylie Minogue to name a few.
Americans don't know who SAW are even though they have had hits in the US. Also Rick Astley split with them acrimoniously he wanted to write his own material and do a different style rather than the style and songs given to him by SAW.
Love this guy! He has stayed down to earth and sounds/looks fantastic!
His wife Lene is a lovely person. Their love story is a beautiful thing. ❤
He's a gem.
All this time I thought the industry pushed him out of the business 😳. I’m glad it was his decision to step back. What a fabulous voice he had and still does🥰
What a GREAT voice!!! Such a wonderful talent! But just LOVE his music and he is so humble and kind. Thank you Rick!!!! Much love and continued success!!! Have fun touring and singing "the second time around...."
"Never gonna give you up" is more than a song. It's a precious relic of a way of interacting with each other they killed.
Rick astley is so much more than that song. He is a fantastic singer and song writer and producer. So Underrrated.
Love the Song back in 1987 and I still love it today
He has great hair! and a tremendous positive attitude! Good for him
i was merely aware of Rick Astley and his first hit, the day that I saw him perform "Cry For Help" .... and to this day, decades later it still goes straight to my Soul. His booming voice backed up by those beautiful celebrity girls just overwhelms me. But now that I have heard his story, I have a higher appreciation for him than ever.
Kudos to the New Kids for including him on the Mixtape tour - just brilliant!
My 8 year old daughter cannot get enough of this song she loves it. I was 12 when it came out, great days .👍
These artists from the 1980's are awesome, they should all tour together and they would probably sell out. I think the 2020's artists still have a lot to learn although there are some exceptional artists from the 1990's, 2000's, 2010's eras and maybe 1970's or dating back 1960's, the 1980's was a gold era in music, pop culture and movies and many things.
i loved him, when i was a young women, and still i love his music. he seems to be a very kind person, and stays on the ground.👍
I don't feel doomed anymore. The people who made the music that helped me keep it together back then are still going strong.
He seems like such a happy person.
He's one of the few big stars that is still with us.
I hope he keeps taking care of himself, we don't want lose him aytime soon.
Very interesting!! May he and his family have long successful lives. Seems like a really nice guy. And he was always so cool!!
This guy is still in his 50s! Truly his tour bus is home away from home!
Amazing Rick, one of the best, always
Love Rick Astley!!! Watched him last week at the mix tape concert and we had a blast!!!
I am so behind the times. I didn’t know this was back in 1987! I love this song! He was so adorable!
His voice is one of the uniquest and is such a classic
Most unique
I'm loving that remake! One of the best comebacks, amazing one🌟
My daughters loved him back in the day.
Now my 7 yr old granddaughter has been listening to his CD since she was 3yrs old. He and BTS are her favorite.
he seems so nice--I had one of his CD's back in the day and many an afternoon, stuck in traffic going home from work, I would sing along to Rick Astley!
Rick Astley is a legend, and his personality on this meme shows what a great guy he really is.
Why have I never seen Rick Astley with a long hair
Loved loved loved Rick Astley and NKOTB...i still do now... Loved my teenage years🤣
Glad he's enjoying his "new-found" success AND enjoying it!! Still love the sing and his amazing voice ❤️
I can’t wait to see him on tour!!!
It's an amazing summer song
FACTS: THIS SONG WILL NEVER DIE
1.2 billion views. Wow. Congratulations Rick Astley
"Never gonna give you up". Nevet doing it. Thank you, Rick and Thank you Anthony.
Always the best form, Rick Astley!
My mom plays this song all the time
i love rick astley
Never gonna give you up is catchy, Together Forever is bubbly pop, but unlistenable for me, but Cry for Help is legit good and still holds to this day.
Astley seems like a good dude, I wish him well.
Love his record in 1987 right in San Francisco living on Haight Ashbury!
I love that song, and the video, and Rick Astley's dancing, and facial expressions! Clive Clarke had some great moves too!
Great segment. Such a fun interview and so nostalgic.
Rick and I are the same age 😍😍😍😍 how cool is that 😃
He’s so amazing, genuinely a good man.💙
