Mariah Carey's cover of this is one of the most heinous murders in music history , A primary example of how to remove all emotion from a song with technical singing.

Highly recommend Phil's "Another Day in Paradise" and the original video is quite powerful

He's familiar because you reacted to his live performance of "In the Air Tonight", the song with the iconic drum break that was used in Miami Vice. You were on point with it sounding like the eighties, because the song was written for the soundtrack of the 1984 movie "Against All Odds" from a song Collins had started in 1981 but hadn't finished. It was nominated for several awards, including an Oscar (won by Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You" and a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance - Male, which it won. You might enjoy his "One More Night" or "Easy Lover" from the same timeframe.

He has quite an impressive catalog by himself, he also did amazing as the lead in Genesis i would dive into them as well. He also did the Disney soundtrack for Tarzan. "You'll be in my heart"always brings emotional feelings for me.

My favorite Phill Collins song from the movie soundtrack of the same name.

He is an amazing songwriter - he wrote this so I think that's why there is much more expression of emotion

This song still hits the same way. Salute Phil Collins.

"Easy listening" is a perfect way to describe Phil's voice. Silky smooth tone and conveys so much emotion with everything his voice touches.

Phil is one of a hand full of singers, that makes singing look like a walk in the park. He wrote this song and sings it to perfection. No one can sing it like him. He was an incredible writer and singer with lots of hits. If you haven't checked out I don't care anymore. It's a must.

with out any doubt... my favorite music artist of all time 🎼🏆

Love Phil just a tremendous talent!

My all time favorite break up song, me from Haiti her from Iran we met in Chicago school adult center learning English we hooked up there but I felt in love with her . I was about 19 years old she was 21 years old circumstances of life force her to move to California then I lose her since I was heartbroken. I listened to Phil Collins against all odd thousandth of time it reminds me of loosing her.

Oh it sure is Phil’s song ….. suggestion for you is IN THE AIR TONIGHT ( LIVE ). It is awesome !!!!

One of the greatest songs and strangest chord progressions of all time.

I recorded this off HBO back in the day, and wore out that VHS tape. Bought the VHS when that came out, and then wore that out. He took this down a key or more on later tours given all the high notes, so I think this is the best live version that comes closet to capturing the feel of the original. But all the songs on this concert special are amazing. Reaction or no reaction videos, I hope you find time to check the whole thing out. Amazing performance. My favorite live In the Air Tonight as well.

Totally agree with your reaction Boyd ❤ there is a chance that she will turn and see because against all odds you are waiting when all you can do is hope and pray you will see that face again 👍

Said Collins: "That song was written during my first divorce. My first wife and the kids had gone and I was left there. The song was written out of experience as opposed to a 'what if' song. If that personal stuff had not happened to me at the time, I probably would never have made an album, and if I was to have made an album eventually, it probably would have been a jazz/rock thing. Without that stuff I wouldn't have felt the stuff I felt sitting at a piano night after night, day after day writing stuff." Peace out.

I’ve always loved this song. Phil is the best. You can feel it. Great reaction. I agree it’s not the same when someone covers it, it makes it seem overdone.

Great Reaction, as Always!! I love this tune and many others of Mr. Collins! One that makes his vocals ascend to new heights is the studio version of a Genesis song, "Home by the Sea!" A personal favorite of mine! I believe YOU would "Enjoy it Thoroughly!" Just saying.

From my understanding, this was personal for him.....great reaction 😊

I love when you smile/smirk :)

Your voice is made for radio 🤌🏽

Europe, the final countdown is a great song.

This Phil's Collins :)

Other versions seem 'over-dressed, this seems personal'. Nailed it. This came out of his first marriage divorce (his wife left him after saying she would not be there if he left on his very long tour with Genesis). He tried to get her back and even went to Canada to reconcile. No, it did not happen and this song resulted.

It is the theme song for the movie of the same name, which came out I believe in 1984.

This was the perfect crying out a breakup song when I was young.

Phil Collins has an epic back catalogue and this is one of my favourites, it's so poignant. He wrote it about his divorce.

Do you remember by Phil Collins,very good tune

I remember watching the film this was attached to, pretty good.

Rain Down on Me is a good one.

You might tackle 'I Don't Care Anymore' (angry Phil) or get a two-fer with Eric Clapton playing 'I Wish It Would Rain Down'. The video is hilarious, but the song is bluesy Phil. So many more to choose.

I always thought he was good at writing songs from a mature perspective, not too hyperbolic, just enough to get the emotion across.i recommend the song by him I Wish it Would Rain Down it's a similar sentiment and Eric Clapton on guitar features in the studio version

The Only version Period

Can’t believe it this is your first time

This song was used in the 1984 movie by the same name.

You listened to In The Air Tonight, do you think this is better or that?

its his song

Phil Collins wrote this song about his first marriage that ended in divorce when his wife left him with the kids. 80% of divorced men understand what it feels like to have your wife leave you and devastate your life. And the odds of her coming back are impossible. Divorced men are 9 times more likely to self delete after a divorce.

I really despise the "overdressing" you're talking about...I feel like it's desperation and 99% of the times takes away from everything that made the song great in the first place. You've definitely heard Phil before, I've commented on it and listed a ton of songs to look into lol Both as a solo artist and as part of Genesis. All the other reaction channels are doing "I Don't Care Anymore" right now. The catalog is so huge, and all of it brilliant.

Su su sudio

Why the heck would you listen to the concert version first instead of the original recording which is way better? Now you have an impression of the song that is lesser than what it is

Try original version or live aid 85, not this

Dude... I cannot for the life of me see why people keep suggesting you listen to the worst versions of so many songs! This is probably the worst I have ever heard Phil Collins sing.

This song still hits the same way. Salute Phil Collins.
