thank you
Wow Wendy got a comparison to Beyonce and Whitney Houston in this reaction. That’s powerful.
Yep shes like a broadway singer
I'm not surprised. We all know that she's really on another level yet she's so humble and very down to earth. Having a 4 octave vocal range,angelic tone,perfect voice quality, falsetto and etc. you're the best. I just hope that people will appreciate all of her doings especially her singing. She's the best. Fighting seungwan.
I've been comparing her to Whitney and Beyonce too. I can hear their influence in her vocals, especially her riffs and runs and high notes. I grew up during Whitney's reign and let me tell you, it is a compliment to be compared to her. She's legendary and Wendy will one day become a legend in the Korean industry and not just as an idol.
@@eyebrowstj Facts.
She actually sing the whole Halo song in pre-debut *talented smol bean*
Wendy really sounds more like a "musician" than a "vocalist", it seems to me she clearly understand her instrument (voice) and how and when to use it. I feel like she has her toolkit of options and almost always knows how to bring the right "tone" to what the music she is interpreting needs. There's a big difference with the way you play certain beats (a jazz to a funk groove, for example) and she seems to approach her musicality in a similar way. It always impresses me how she can navigate through so many kinds of emotions (in this album alone from soothing in Like Water to angst in When the Rain Stops, from melancholy in The Road to playfulness in Why can't You Love Me)and her work in Red Velvet shows brightness (Butterfly) and even some sadness in Last Love. She may always have been talented, but this level is only achieved with pure hard work. It's inspiring.
I wish i'm this good at putting compliment to my favorite person ever
@@savetheprettyoddvessyeah I can relate with you so much hahahaha. WENDY's the best. I hope that will do.
Wow best comment here 👆
Wow! This comment!
👏👏👏
totally agree :”)
Easy is right. I don't know how else to put it, some singers sound like singing is as natural to them as speaking and when singing seems that natural for them, I don't know, it is just so beautiful to me. Whenever I call someone's singing easy, to me that is a great complement to their artistry and a testament of their hardwork.
I know that’s just how Wendy is when she sings, but I feel like it really ties into to water theme. Like a stream or a creek, her voice is just so easily flowing and soothing. It sounds so natural and beautiful. Literally...like water.
and it's sad that she's very underappreciated just because she sounds "effortless" and "easy". They have no idea how intricate the notes she's making 😭
relaxed. that's the word you're looking for. wendy is the strongest female idol vocalist in the 3rd generation vocal technique-wise and when you have the vocal prowess she has, singing is like speaking to you bc you know how to do it correctly--your larynx must be completely relaxed, not lowered nor raised, among other things, to prevent straining.
nice saying
Ikr ! Unless, it's an extremely intense song like the ones she sang on KOMS final stage, her singing feels so damn relaxed and easy
One of my favorite things about “like water” is that it kind of emulates the element physically. Her voice tone plays a big part of it, but those fluctuations and push and pulls with dynamics make it seems so unpredictable like a river flow, but it’s still so connected and smooth. I love how it connects with the lyrics too. At one part of the song she sings something along the lines of “being the water to fill your sore spots” and her phrasing kind of makes the song emulate a stream or a creek (I don’t know if I’m making sense). But her phrasing and note changes that will go up and down feel like the unevenness of rocks in a riverbed that are being filled with space by water. Like you know when you hear a creek or a stream and it’s not an even sound because there are different depths that the water is flowing through? That’s what I’m kind of getting from it. I might be overanalyzing this tho lol. Her voice just feels so “go with the flow” vibe. Wendy’s really amazing.
A good example of this is at 10:27 and 11:38.
@@thdwjsalsjm5772 💯 💯 💯
Maaaan, I thought I was the only one who feel this way about "Like Water"
I felt exactly the same at that one line. She truly is not just a vocalist, but a musician and a storyteller.
Also Wendy: 'SM wAter tAStEs lIkE waTEr.'
Wendy has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. It's crisp and pure, yet warm and full. Her control when singing live is utterly astounding. She is just effortlessly talented. 2020 didn't feel right to a lot of people for a lot of reasons, but for me Wendy being hurt and on hiatus was really high on the list. So glad her amazing voice is back making new music.
Me too 🥺 it made 2020 so hard. So relieved and glad to have her back again 💙
Can't wait for Red Velvet comeback 😭💗💛💙💚💜
💙💙💙💙💙
this was beautifully said and I cannot agree more.
The live band performance seriously sounds like a studio recording, that's how incredible her voice is 💕
Yeah true and that channel/studio is usually even more raw than most (many programs edit even the live performance) I believe they’ve just added reverb? For Water I like the live even better lol
@@Catz1a no this studio also tunes their performances. But they do it very neatly and like you said the reverb helps in hiding it and not making it obvious like other shows.
@@blairwrelos1891 Yeah fair enough. I would think they do tune it but I have also heard some on the channel that waver a bit off key or you can hear the breathiness which is extremely rare on other shows so I made the assumption that they edit less. They definitely still do stuff but they do their best to keep it as it is live
And the fact that she also sings live in the mv
Better actually
“i’m excited to hear more from her” they NEED to listen to the whole EP...it’s truly a magical experience and i really hope everyone gets to experience it. her voice is like a warm hug when you need it the most and it’s so rare for an artist to have a voice that gives you both feelings and an experience and i think with her you get the whole package. i’m so glad she was given a solo album
imagine when they hear When This Rain Stops. still having goosebumps every time i listen to that song 😭
Give them live ig wendy sing all the songgg
Yea I really hope they consider some of her b-sides for a proper reaction video. Some of them like "Best Friend" and "The Road" is actually really harmonically intricate (as far as I can tell. I only tinker with music theory).
I hope they get to react to Why can't you love me? Live band ver. too
when this rain stop will always be my fav
“There’s quite a difference between a singer like a vocalist and a recording artist. Cause not everybody can sing live what they recorded in the studio.” I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING TRUER!!!!!
The way that they said it’s “easy” is really accurate actually. Wendy sounds so incredible yet effortless. And what I notice is that she sings with such ease that it’s like singing is second nature to her and you can tell by the way she sings. Love the editing btw 💙 thanks for this video!
For some reason, Wendy coming back to the public/work seems more meaningful in a solo debut vs with Red Velvet comeback. I mean I would've been happy either way but it seems more personal after all Wendy has been through, which kind of makes me emotional haha.
that's why wendy's solo debut is really special & meaningful. she not just came back to us as red velvet's wendy but as our seungwan herself. she came back even stronger.
same for me too. and i think her hiatus added a lot to her growth it seems that she became even better/richer thr the difficult period (which i wished didn't happen but she made a good thing from it).
Wendy's voice is so soft and smooth like butter.
Live velvet ❤️
and like water :)
yesss
her voice is like butter~~~
always like buttEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR
I'm gonna be controversial, but she IS the greatest 3rd gen vocalist. not out of the BIg 3, but out of ALL OF THEM.
Of Course She is! lol We love Wendy in this house hold!
It’s not controversial, It’s facts! Like literally based on vocal pedagogy, like actual vocal techniques, Wendy is the superior main vocalist out of all 3rd generation girl groups. She is the only proficient vocalist and the only ones close to her are Wheein and Solar who are capable vocalists, and even then they are 2 tiers behind her.
@@chrissyalapo-calg9748 Amen sis 😭
I mean-- that's a fact
that's not controversial at all, this is actually a well-known fact among kpop fans.
I used to think that Wendy wasn't as powerful as the other main vocal in SM girlgroup (Taeyeon and Luna) but then i realized, there's not many girlgroup covering RV's song and if there's one, you can clearly see how it takes so much efforts, some even struggling to sang their song, especially when it reach Wendy's part. And then it hit me, Wendy sang it so easy, like literally so easy,with the whole dancing sequence and the constant smile on her face while singing. She knew her voice, her technic, her range, she master her voice to the point it's as easy as breathing for her.
Even being a SONE i can easily admit that in terms of technique Wendy and Kyuhyun are both the best in SM rn.
It's so sad that SM didn't push Luna more, her vocals are so good
Ooh I understand that feeling. But it's more bc i used to taeyeon's vocal style and suddenly comes wendy that so powerful without even open her mouth, im not at ease at first too but whew now im longing for it lol
but Luna’s support is a lot more developed, she’s the strongest SM female vocalist, and Taeyeon’s resonance is more consistent than Wendy
Luna was the best woman vocalist in SM imo
K-Pop fans aren't familiar with this kind of song. That's why Wendy's song is rated under the other K-Pop singer songs. They don't realize how good Wendy is. I'm a little bit sad.
These kind of songs have such longevity. It's the type of song you'd listen to even after 3 years of release because it doesn't get old.
It's seems underated because it didn't win #1 place in any music shows, but the truth is the album and the song are highly praised and rated very high by music critics in the music industry. They are also loved by many producers and singer song writers..
@@fi940 some people didn't like the song, called it a "church song" and said it doesn't sound what kpop is usually is, i was like have you guys ever heard of a ballad?
It's a slow song, so it won't get many views unfortunately, but if it makes u feel better u should know that with this album Wendy became the BEST SELLING FEMALE SOLOIST IN SM 💙
I wonder if they would react the same to When This Rain Stops because of all the high notes. Like Water really describes the ease in her voice. Wendy is THE best vocalist of kpop btw.
Yes I hope they can take a look at When This Rain Stops as well! Personally my fave track :) Wendy’s so talented~
Same here
Exactly when this rain stops its healing song
@@rachelmoon5526 mine was Why Can’t You Love Me because it was rnb and Wendy is an amazing rnb singer. she is really talented but also very hard working. she even practiced singing at the hospital bed when her mouth was shut with wires... this girl was born to sing really.
There’s a lot of second gen vocalists that are technically more developed than Wendy, vocalists like Taeyeon, Luna, Ailee, Hyorin, are technically stronger (Taeyeon is debatable, her resonance is way fuller and more consistent but Wendy’s head voice is more developed) though there’s no debate that Wendy is the strongest in 3rd gen by a lot
"Easy, it doesn't even sounds like she's trying," "Her natural voice has such a richness and natural vibrato to it," "Her technique is what makes it really beautiful, because all registers of her voice are well-connected," "It's not artificial and just pure her," "She really treated and mastered her voice like an instrument, because she's sound the same-if it's not better-than the recorded version."
Thank you for this! Where's the lie? Your descriptions of her are all accurate! Thankiesss once again! Hope to see more Wendy's here in the future!
"that's a high praise"
YEAH, WENDY DESERVES THAT.
The best vocalist in 3rd gen k-pop.
It's not just the talent that's so impressive. It's how easily she makes it seem
I love your profile pic
@@Kryptoniankousin InSomnia logo
Having followed Red Velvet since debut, Wendy won me over the moment she sang "SHINE ON ME!" during happiness.
The way her voice flows is quite literally like water.
The girl debuted with a freaking 8 seconds highnote
SAME
Don't forget, She debuted with her vocal nodule, but many ppl never know her vocal is not in well condition, but she can showed how a great her vocal when Red Velvet debuted
@@lutfiaalmah7898 no she got the nodules pre-debut and was scared she wouldn't get to debut because of it, but she started taking medicine and got better, so when she debuted she had already gotten rid of them, but they definitely affected her belting. and thats why she's not a power belter, but she still does so many great things technically so she doesn't even need to be a power belter, but imagine if she didn't get nodules... she would be unstoppable
@@chrissyalapo-calg9748 No. She didn't get rid of it. Wendy once confessed her throat hurts whenenver she tried to hit the hight note which is why she always used chest and head voice only. This mean her vocal nodule is NOT completly gone, she still have it but not that bad as she used to have during predebut so she always be cautious whenever she tried to hit high note in any of RV songs. I think Wendy talked about this on Unnie Slamdunks. What the original comment talk about is right, even their vocal teacher who are the same vocal trainee for Unnie Slamdunks, Jang JinYoung said the same things.
Here's the link
th-cam.com/video/CzIY-UJRzaw/w-d-xo.html (timestamp: 6:58) Jang Jinyoung even said Wendy debut with vocal nodules. And when RV came to Unnie Slamdunks, she talked with Kang Yewon how she handled it. So this proof she still have the vocal nodules. But yea not sure this year bcs the show was on 2017.
When he said she has such a relaxed voice. Wendy almost didn't debut with RV because she was suffering from vocal cord nodules. She really had to work on being able to relax her vocal cord to be able to get past the pain a cracking that the nodules caused.
One of the best vocalist of third gen Kpop artists.
Wendy's vocal might be my most fave in the whole kpop industry. It's mesmerizing how she makes every song sounds easy, when it's actually not.
The thing about Wendy's voice it's that she can actually make you feel something...
She's a SIREN. Periodt.
You guys mesmerized by her vocals. She's gorgeous in the MV the whole time.
wendy really is an artist the way she even "personalized" the tones and notes how she thought would sound better
What I love about Wendy is that she doesn't need high notes or belts to realise how great of a singer she is. I am not aware of music or vocals at all but I can tell how amazing she is. Because she does it so effortlessly. Even when she belts notes she prefers to keep her voice on the softer side matching the mood of the song sometimes (cmimw). She can perfectly match her vocals to fit the variety of styles RV have tried.
“yeah she’s just mastered her voice” OUR VOCAL QUEEN WENDY 😭💙
the entire mini album had me feeling some type of way.. i’m always so blown away by how easy she makes it seem!!!
A full album listen is definitely the way to go. Each song offers something special.
She so underrated as a singer, I hope will be able to shine and be more appreciated by the music industry in Korea or America. She humble kind grounded and talented.
not underrated, but underappreciated. Everyone acknowledges her vocal skills as the best in 3rd gen and she's always at the top of the list in those ranking videos, its only that she's not as popular as other idols, so she's not appreciated as much as she should be by the general Korean public
@@chrissyalapo-calg9748 The Korean gp only likes pretty looks and 'uniqueness' for whatever it is. Wendy is not as popular but her talent is always used to setup fanwars that's for sure. People will always blame her fans when it's her other teammate's akgaes who set her up. Even in tik tok those akgaes are claiming her sales are fake because her dedicated fanbase is smaller than theirs.... I'm like *eyerolls*, if anyone has seen her birthday gifts from her cfans, you will have no doubt about it.
@@sleepyearth agreed, haters are really jealous of Wendy cause she's highly praised and there's literally nothing to use against her. and what you said about Koreans only appreciating beauty is completely true as well sadly. if they really appreciated talent, Luna and Ailee would be up there as one of the most popular soloists, but nope. Taeyeon is a very talented singer but she's among the popular and doing really well b/c she was one of the popular members in SNSD and is regarded as one of the prettiest. though IU is an average vocalist, she is like the most popular female soloist also b/c of her beauty. its disappointing how superficial the Korean gp is...
@@chrissyalapo-calg9748 Omfg so true for luna and ailee! They are both my fav vocalists and i feel kinda sad specially for luna.
@@sleepyearth yes, at least Ailee does well internationally, but Luna... she was done dirty, they really slept on her
finally someone talks about her STUNNING phrasing. It‘s not ONLY about her techniques or those high notes that makes this song so impressive. Her musicianship is so good as well.
Wendy is just being humble on her singing skills. She's the best vocalist in kpop now fr. She can do any genre. Can't wait for her music in the near future 🙂 Wendy can rap she's great rapper but she's already an amazing vocalist.. that's why she's main vocal of red velvet.
Wendy is such a special talent in the K-Pop. And she’s such a pure and sweet angel. She must be protected at all costs
Fun fact: Wendy sang live during the shooting of the Like Water mv. Apparently in Wendy's world, lipsyncing does not exist. 😁 Thanks for the reaction @reacttothek! Wendy's voice is truly a marvel and we are lucky to have her back, especially after that gruesome accident.
Hey, if y'all want to hear more of her live vocals, she also released a live version of her song When This Rain Stops, and she also sang her other song Why Can't You Love Me with the live band too!
Well Wendy is being called as one of the best KPOP female vocalist ever for a reason. She's a versatile and excellent singer. Wendy can sing any music genre very well.
Wendy's voice is so soft yet powerful. So deep yet fragile. It has a sort of warmth that comforts me. Her voice is just healing ♥️♥️♥️
yeah she's the best knowing the fact that she has vocal nodules since debut but still managed to be the best vocalist...
imagine if she didn't have them o_o... she'd be a beast
@Tiffany's pink card exactly!
Idk why but her solo made me cry, cz people just forgot it like it was nothing...
Like just see how beautiful the whole album is... It's no girl crush or cutesy.... Just pure connection to your soul...
I literally can never regret stanning Red Velvet 🥺❤️
Red Velvet was one of the first groups that I became familiar with when I first discovered Kpop, and Wendy's vocals have always stood out to me in their songs, and to see her blossom musically like this, makes me so happy for her as a professional and as a person. I know this is what she loves to do more than anything and I get misty-eyed every time I hear this song! GO Wendy!!
the whole like water album proved that wendy is indeed the best main vocalist of this generation
Wendy is so talented and dedicated her album to her fans. The things she wanted to tell her fans are perfectly featured in her voice and the lyrics. A masterpiece
9:39 "yeah she's just mastered her voice" exactly!!! wendy always know what she's doing. in the industry full of stylish singing which sometimes goes wrong and harm the artist's voice, wendy show us healthy singing technique amd real talent. thank you for reacting to this, please do "when the rain stops" if you will ;)
1) Like Water
2) When This Rain Stops
3) Why Can't You Love Me
4)The Road
5) Best Friends (feat. Seulgi)
You can tell how much Wendy loves singing with the way she can naturally carry such difficult song to sing with ease. She’s got her voice mastered to the point where she can play with different techniques and deliveries on different songs and it has been evident with Red Velvet, but she really blew me away with this debut. I already thought she’s an amazing singer but she really surprised me with this album. I have so much respect for Wendy not only as an artist, but as a person as well.
The way she came back better than ever- after all she went through, she decided to improve herself and she focused of the positives even in such a dark time. She even gave us an album to comfort us. We really don’t deserve her.
Great video and I love the editing as always! I love how you referenced the teen vogue article.
I hope they get to hear her pop off in When This Rain Stops too 💙
They definitely need to watch her live performance of “why can’t you love me” and “when this rain stops”
I truly love it when musician appreciate Wendy great vocals cause this girl is so underappreciated I can saya despite having such stunning and wide vocal range! I'm proud of Wendy and thanks guys for reacting to her beautiful debut song 🥰💙
When this rain stops is reaaallly good too!
Tbh I liked that song better hihi but this song is good too
Idk if it is true, but it was said that SM has always been waiting for someone like Wendy so their group can debut. Also, I never heard that kind of voice in the kpop industry (the reason I became a fan of her). I kept on listening to songs or covers, and I can't really point out what's in her voice that make her the stand out. I thought because she kinda have a voice lesson in Canada or something, cuz her voice has a hint of a western vibes. I can't really tell tbh. To add, when she auditioned, SM asked her what songs with "high notes" she can sing. Then straight away sing like 6 to 7 songs of Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, etc. Now Rafi comparing her to Whitney Houston became a fact.
6:10 this is so spot on, wendys natural voice really have those richness. wendys my fav kpop vocalist because of that.
Her voice always stands out in the groups songs to me. She always knows how to use it to fit different types of songs.
Her voice is definitely my favorite female voice in the Kpop industry.
Wendy's ending note at every sentence is like a car driving straight then making a smooth stop😂💙
It’s unhealthy how many times I’ve been rewatching this reaction. I mean yes, I rewatched her perf a lot as well, but seeing people complimenting her just melts me 🥺
Let them listen the whole EP... It's freaking magical
If you listen closely at the very end of “Like Water”, you can hear she made a sound “Ha”. Wendy said that’s the focus point of the song where she explained that she breathes again.
The way I smile from ear to ear watching this whole video. The pride I have for Wendy is spiking up through the roof right now. What really makes her stand out is that she was a musician and a member of a show choir. These experiences that made her one of the best vocalists and artists out there and just years and years of nonstop hardwork and dedication, may it be vocal nodules or a terrible accident. She never stops learning and training. I mean she never let go of the mic even when she being sent to the hospital. She stays true to her words that she will never stop singing until she loses her voice
Like Water is like a humble flex of a lot of Wendy's knowledge and capabilities of her voice 🤣💓 like she only used like grand "bombastic" vocal high moments (like sam said) only towards the end.
I know most people don't need real talent like Wendy. They just need an idol, not artist, who looks dazzling and sounds popular, no need to be the best in music.
So I am really appreciate guys like you who take her talents seriously. She deserves so much more attention than what she is having at the moment.
“she doesn’t even sound tired” . . . yeah if i danced and sang at the same time on the daily in a group i think id do pretty well just standing phew-piece of cake 💕
lol i think they're talking about the fact that she needs a lot of breath control to continuosly sustain all those belts one after another, and that she doesn't sound out of breath even after doing all those dynamics and runs, which is probably more difficult than dancing and singing at just one level at the same time. there's a lot of technicality in this song
@@chrissyalapo-calg9748 oh, yeah i understand! ig what i was saying was all those years of dancing and singing at the same time also made it easier for her to maintain and control her voice since you're breathing hard while dancing and you have to control your breathing before singing again? if that makes sense? btw i didnt mean to sound rude or anything---wendy's my ult bias! i think my comment could be taken in a negative way?? but i promise i didnt mean it that way!
@@ninanr4368 oh I see, haha to be honest it did kind of come off that way to me, but i can see that you meant no harm
I really can't understand why they didn't cry because I literally couldn't stop sobbing. And it's not the very first time listening to her. But it hits me every time. Wendy's emotions through that song after all what happened to her are just on another level.
Wendy is so talented ♥ She's really one of the top vocalists of the industry!
If possible, show the boys 'When This Rain Stops' from this same album... For me one of the best vocal performances from her!!! (this whole album is hahaha)
she sings like it’s nothing. she’s so incredible. she didn’t even lip sync during the mv shoot, she sang everything live too.
Wendy’s voice is liquid gold
"When this rain stop" please , one more 😃🙏
I always know that Wendy is one of the best vocalists out there.
But after watching this video, it hit me hard and fully understand that SHE IS NOT just one of some, instead SHE IS ONE OF A KIND.
*Dunno how many times I watched this video, keep coming back to this. Thanks for being that "one of a kind" yt channel guys* 🥰
its so sad that there is no vocalist react to when this rain stops :(
Y'know, her voice reminds me of Caroline Polachek's, not so much in like, its tone or anything, but just how it sounds like it's almost artificial because of how controlled and seamless it is! I didn't make this connection until watching you two comment on her skill, Wendy's wildly talented
Oh a Caroline Polachek stan! Hiiiiiiiiiii.
Wendy's voice really gets me all sorts of emotional; that's her power. Such clarity, fullness, and control is hard to come by.
I’m glad to see her being appreciated. I love seeing an artist who is actually musically involved. Makes it so much better to me. Knowing how music flows and works is important.
him: and she doesn't sound tired after the climax
me: she literally is a girl group member who literally dance some intense choreography while singing with hours and days of intense training, tight schedule, doing shows and concerts. so... yeah, 1 long high note while standing still is an easy game for her. lol
she can even handle an high note while dancing
Wendy has my favourite vocal tone in kpop, maybe in music ever??
She just makes it look so easy and natural to her
Also that SNL bit at the end made me choke on my toast, nice editing ^^
Fun fact: she sang it live for the 3 days they filmed the mv so that her singing would be more authentic! She also sang it live during her IG live: th-cam.com/video/8nc_Tvjm_y4/w-d-xo.html, the recording behind, and the fancams during her music show appearances! You don’t need to react to it publicly though. You can watch it on your own 💙
love seeing wendy being appreciated
Hearing her voice can make someone speechless.
You just simply can't get tired of Wendy's voice, it has that very unique diversity ❤️
Undeniably one of the best vocalist of 3rd gen gg's
Wendy is my bias from Red Velvet, and without a doubt she's one of the top Kpop vocalists. Many believe she's the best in the 3rd generation. Like Water is a song that not only has heartfelt lyrics but also Wendy's ethereal vocal performance. Recently, Kpop has a string of sensational female solo artists releasing their album, such as IU, Wendy, and Wheein. Our ears are being blessed by these amazing singers and their incredible songs.
Btw, Wendy disclosed that originally Like Water was an English song but changed to Korean lyrically. Hopefully she will sing an English version in the future.
I always feel great when my fav group or singer or music gets high praise from reacttothek team! Feels like my music taste is verified. Lol. Wendy's vocal is definitely awesome
I think they should also know that she sang, for real, when recording the MV. She did not have to do that. She did not want to prove anything, she just wanted to sing, and it is just happened that she sings so well.
I am really really really proud of Wendy and I bet everyone who support her is feeling the same too
They’ve just listen to the best vocalist in Kpop
wendy is unreal everything about her just so perfect ;_;
That was such a pleasure to watch. I hope Raffi and Sam listen to more Wendy in the future!
stan wendy stan redvelvet
you are first
This has been in incredible time. We have had Rose, IU and Wendy releasing new solo work. Each is very different from the others and yet all with points of excellence. I have not heard this often yet, but it struck me that there is something about this particular song that seems more "oriental" than the main songs from the other two. It might be the scale. I'm not sure.
Effortlessly done by Son Seungwan.
Wannie wannie
In the recording video she mentions that she practices everyday and it shows 👏
WHEN THIS RAIN STOP REACTION PLSSSS
Yeah Wendy, like water indeed.
I see red velvet, i click
Ps. Stan talent stan red velvet
Wendy best vocalist of her generation. She’s untouchable, no one can say otherwise 😉
Grabe, kahit ilang beses ko panuorin ito, nakakakilig pa din dahil sa mga praises na binitawan nila for Wendy. 💙💙 She really is talented and hard-working! 💙 I love you, Wendy, for being a fighter and for singing again. 💙
I hope Wendy has seen this reaction vid. Her embarrassment level would be so high.
There are songs that make me cry because they're made to be emotional, and there are songs that make me cry because they're just beautiful. And Like Water is so beautiful!! Its just that kind of beauty where you see someone who has mastered his/her craft use the craft to express a message so touching.
WHEN THIS RAIN STOPS please~ pretty please~ 🥺 you won't ever ever regret it. 💙
I swear Wendy is the only person whose vocals literally sends shivers through my body. Please react to When this rain stops or Why can't you just love me please!!
"She just mastered her voice"
She deserves the recognition Taeyeon has. They are both outstanding jewels in SM’s treasure chest.
I saw this on your 'will not be reacting' playlist and I was shocked a reaction came out. So glad it did~~!
'will not react' playlist doesn't always relate to duo reactions- only the full crew 'Classical & Jazz Musicians React' series! ^^
@@ReacttotheK Yay~ the possibilities are endless then! I watched this a few times cause my reaction of awestruck was like theirs. Wendy's vocals are crazy good! Hope to see more in the future (After Hiatus of course, sending good vibes~!
@@ReacttotheK then how about SHINee’s full repackage album Atlantis reaction? I saw you put some of their songs in your ‘will not be reacting’ playlist so you won’t be reacting at all? I guess they no longer interest you to reacting to them now with so many great talented artists coming out lately? Still sad though.
@@elea45hinee57 We can't afford to make many album first listens any more. Please support us on Patreon if you wish to see more full album reactions in the future!
12:20 "wow she even did that!" favorite part
If you want fo hear more from her you can check out her another title track titled "When This Rain Stops" and oh also her live band performance of another track "Why Can't You Love Me" BOTH SONGS SLAPS AND HER *FLEXIBILITY* IS REALLY ASTOUNDING
