*DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the songs or videos being reacted to in this video. All credits to the companies that own them.
Also, none of us are PROFESSIONAL musicians. So if you come here for a strict breakdown/analysis of the music, you won’t be getting that.This is strictly my conservatory musician friends taking time in their schedule to watch kpop for fun, and throw in any musical comments that come into their mind! Also please do not complain about any "boring" reactions...some of the musicians have blank faces since they are concentrating so deeply on analyzing the music. On top of that, if you think that they aren't commenting enough on the music, it's because nothing is happening IN the music to comment on. It may be "a great song" that they're listening to, but that does not mean there are actual complicated musical things happening that they'd be able to talk about.
Fingertip is the most underrated and under appreciated song of the year
Fr
It's underrated in South Korea. K-Netz said the song and the concept is not suitable for GFriend because GFriend's image is Power Innocent
Globally, The Awakening Album at number 5 on US World Album in April 2017
it's interesting that they think that GFriend doesn't have any strong vocalists when Yuju is one of the best out there. She just does a good job of harmonizing with the other members when they sing together.
J Cam You're right, Gfriend is well underrated, they're only seeing the mv not include those amazing solo performance even group performances, they're really underrated.
Globally, they're underrated but in Korea they're currently the second most relevant female group due to their growing popularity and great sales, as also evaluated by several CEO's in kpop industry. More than half of GFriend's listeners are the Korean general public then the rest are those dedicated Buddies. That's a great sign of being one of the biggest acts in kpop.
Yeah....I think gfriend's songs are made to be easy listened and that just doesn't do justice to some members's vocal ability....afterall 2 of their members advanced more round than some main vocal from other big group in king of masked singer competition....And recently yuju won 1st at fantastic duo....non knetz need to see that..
Yeah they're heavily Korean-oriented
They are underrated globally because a lot of Ifans only focus in the boygroups.
Fingertip is like one of my favorite Gfriend song, like it’s a whole bop
Angelina Borrero the dance break always sets me on fire no matter how many times I listen to it🤣
Anyone who likes Fingertip should check out their b-side Ave Maria
Angelina Borrero Honestly, it's one of my favourite kpop songs....and I've been into kpop 6+ years and Gfriend is *_by no means_* my favourite group.
checkout rainbow from their latest album
International BOP but in Korea nahhhh
THANK YOU FOR LOVING THE POWERFUL FINGERTIP
I really wish Koreans could think the same way
They slept on this so haaard
GFriend makes me strange and opposite feelings
I like the fact that with 3 seconds I can recognize a song from them 'cause they have this unique style of instrumental
I don't like that fact that with 3 seconds I can recognize a song from them 'cause I'd love them to try new styles of instrumental
qq vc tá fazendo aqui JDHAHDHAJDHA
ah, vc deveria ouvir as outras músicas dos álbuns delas
só as title que são mais parecidas
recomendo Rainbow, Say my Name e Distance
Alex Gonzalez I agree with you. They even stated themselves that they'd like to try a concept similar to Gashina, but SouMu is the one who decides it anyways. And the girls clearly enjoyed recording Fingertip, wich was their most outstanding concept. I really want something different, they rock the girl crush concept.
The song Rainbow is something different coming from them, it's a shame that it's not a title track
Mano que que o moreno tá fazendo aqui KKKKKKKKKKKK
For Summer Rain and Love Whisper, they sort of lose the high pitched guitar in the background and instead go for piano. Both them are amazing either way but you can tell they are slightly changing their sound every time they come out. It's unnoticeable if you haven't been their fan from the beginning but if you have been then it's possible to pick it up. I know you already have the two on the list but I think the three music videos are connected to each other. If you watch all three of them you'll notice there's a lot of butterflies and time related aspects (even with Navillera). Their concept is music that grows with them as they age:
Navillera: All of the members have either reached adult hood or about to reach adult hood but none of them want to let go of being a child.
Fingertip: They let go of their childishness, and like early adults, try to find themselves by experimenting.
Love Whisper: They accept the fact that they're now adults but decide that they can still be children as adults. Thus the feeling of them going back to their old concept.
Summer Rain: A song where they face hardships as adults despite thinking it would be fine.
Though that's just my theory. But it sort of makes sense if you add the fact that their CEO has mentioned many times that they'll go with whatever fits the members image best during the time.
Wow loved your take on their progression!
and here i was thinking Fingertip was them reaching full adulthood i had no clue where Love Whisper and Summer Rain were going
Now let’s just add Time For The Moon Night ;)
@@aliciaacevesestrada8946 they wont react on it but hopefully they react on Time For Us
It's funny how it always pointed out that there's no vocals that stands out when gfriend is one of those as you can say they're famous for their choreography but before that there's YuJu lol
6:03 - 6:09 the quality content I subscribed for
Joash Chong i
Gfriend is the 3rd generation of kpop to be next legend
2nd gen actually ended on 2010. So, Gfriend is from 4th gen cause 3rd gen ended on 2015
@@bear-ym1xu gfriend debuted on 2015 tho....
@@bear-ym1xu Twice, Blackpink After Gfriend Debut, They're debut:)
gfriend the only new gene popular gg who doesn't need edm in their music and thats also one of the reason some i-fans didnt like gfriend music..n they always used instrumental like guitar as their signature sound..n add in another funky or rock sound to make its sound more good..btw please anticipate more good music from gfriend in the future
Lol when you arrive before the notification does 😂
*GFRIEND love!* Yay! ❤
It's midnight and i was gonna sleep but i saw the notification
MY FAVORITE REACTORS REACTING TO GFRIEND SLEEP CAN WAIT
Still one of my favorite Gfriend songs. I wish they would do something similar again
Gfriend yeeey:D ❤️❤️
LA_KB24 you really don't shut up, do you?
LA_KB24 wiiii
+LA_KB24 I see you everywhere 😂😂
Mark Seman Hell yeah #Lakernation
Gfriend has an unique style that makes them different than the other girlgroups. Their discography is amazing 😊
Honestly the slap bass makes the song
shit i was about to go to sleep but thats not gonna happen anytime soon
BTS TRASH me too fam 😂😭
Yaaa same here
Fingertip is one of my top favorite GFriend songs, so it was nice seeing this reacted to
GFRIEND *SAY NO MORE*
This is my favorite Gfriend Song! Because of Yuju's voice and it's so energetic!
love whisper and summer rain plsss
They're already on schedule
Darren: They are paired together for a future reaction. Check the schedule...way in the future.
rainbow - Gfriend too!
ymarty1990 YASSSSS
GFRIEND music never disappoints me, I love them ❤️❤️❤️
React to Yuju vocals
Ana Lima i agree like the recent Fantastic Duo 2 with Yuju in it!
yes agreed!
Agree!!
Fingertip ~
They seriously need to react to Fingertip live stage so see the whole choreography and live vocal at the same time 🤗🤗🤗❤️ Umu plssss
Wow I really love this channel for pointing out what's awesome in these songs. Some of them I just LIKE, but pointing out something as simple as how groovy that slap bass makes me love this song more.
FINALLY MY FAV GFRIEND SONG
Yes yes yes yes UMU MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE ON A THURSDAY
YASSSSSSS my favourite Gfriend title song!
I would love to see the reactors' take on each member's voice. In a lot of groups' songs their members sound the same but in reality they don't. I would love to see their reactions to their "real" voices.
I'm in school, using school wifi, to watch this. Stopped everything.
I'm glad that Love Whisper and Summer Rain made it to the list.
I hope for Summer Rain, Umu will let them see the Choreography version instead, although the MV is aesthetically pleasing as well, its just that their Choreo for the song needs to be highlighted too, so that they will see how well it goes with the lyrics. Since the dance and the lyrics are well-attributed to the song itself but simply because Gfriend are known for that aspect as well. And it might make the reactors see a different side of this group more.
I love Fingertip so fucking much 🙌🏻 Issa bop
fingertip is my favorite song by gfriend
Gfriend
Gfriend yaaaayyy ❤❤
love when legends get the attention they deserve :)
Still GFRIEND K-POP TOP GROUP 2020
2020 COMEBACK LABYRINTH VERY CRAZY SONG
Why is yunyi here i am happy but so confused
I think they might've pre-recorded a whole slew of episodes while she was still there, so it might take a while for the schedule to catch up to the current set of reactors
Why isn't she reacting anymore? :(( i reaaaally like her's and Kevin's opinions.
I love how they react to this era!
Haha sure it's okay that she fell off a building since she's in a dream, but fyi, falling off a building is scary even in a dream!
Or, apparently, when watching someone in a MV fall off a building. 😊 🌌
I've discovered this channel today and I feel really great that something like this EXISTS so thank you (honestly this is the only kpop reaction channel that matters). Great job! I just feel quite down because I only found one video reacting to BTOB and it's to Wow. I honestly think you would have a great time reacting to I'll Be Your Man. Despite that, this is a great channel and I just feel glad to see people who truly like music reacting to the music I like hehe
Im really excited to hear your opinons on Love Whisper and Summer next year. Im glad you showed them Fingertip cause Korean fans didnt like it as much as international fans though I will say it took me a few listens to like the song. This era is a special era as this was the era where I got my first Gfriend/first kpop album. Then after that parallel album (love whisper).
GFRIEND always makes me proud 😍😍😍😍
Fingertip is one of the funkiest gfriend bop yet the public slept on it, i'm still kinda mad because i loved that gfriend tried something new
What I like bout u guys are u guys were not distracted by their videos or storylines,, u guys are really focus on the song and all the instruments..and that was really cool.
they didn't notice the mysterious face on back the of sowon it gives me chills everytime I see it
What part?
Gfriend yes !!!
Thanks for reacting to Gfriend 💙 I'm not a fan but I love this song and it's so sad that the koreans will not appreciate this song TnT
Full- Sun yeah that's right because korean fans doesn't like Gfriend to do a girl crush concept, they like innocent concept that's why. After fingertip was released Korean fans complained that their comeback is very bad
4:01 the "inaudible" was "Victor Wooten"
another funky song rec: B1A4 - Sweet Girl (there's a guitar/instrumental solo the reactors have been wanting!)
also The Eastlight has a super talented bassist! though all their members are exceptionally talented ((:
and I hope IOI's Whatta Man remake and Oh My Girl - Closer will make it back onto the reaction list!!
I NEVER CLICKED THIS FAST
I just love how interested they are into the music more than what's going on in the MV😊😊😆😆 great reaction❤👌
Yay!! Thanks, umu!
they should try reacting in GFRIEND time for the moon night and sunrise
Ah yes, gfriend’s best song. Thanks for the reaction!
OH MY GOD😍😭
whoo first time being first👍🏻
Lowkey disappointed they didn't focus much on the music video :( But oh well Im still happy about the music analysis💕
animegirl1424_rAnDoM they usually dont focus much on the visual. They're more about music. I like that
yup they always do which is why people who play and enjoy music love this channel. i learnt so much from all these reaction vids
But that is the reason why this chanel is different than others since they tend to focus the musicality more than the story
In my opinion, last year they spent too much time talking about visuals. Not all the time, but in quite a few of the videos. Umu said it happened when the reactors were bored by the music. (I partially disagreed)!
So her solution is to re-dedicate and prioritize musically interesting songs this year. Also I think she said she will try harder to focus the reactors to the music when they continuously go off topic. So far, so good! Personally I like their videos to be ~80/20% skewed to the music. I joined her Patreon channel to get more of the "non-music stuff" which I also enjoy in the more casual setting of the "unedited" videos.
animegirl1424_rAnDoM gfriend has nothing to do with the video the director does
Great choice.
This is certainly my favorite 여자친구 song! And if anyone wants a Kpop song with a guitar solo, B1A4's Sweet Girl has a pretty great one :D
I appreciated the E,W&F (Verdine White) reference around 2:00. One of my favorite bands ever.
What would be awesome is if you also showed them live performances so they could get the whole feel of groups! Especially Gfriend performances :) LOVE your videos and your friends!
My girls!!! 😍😍😍
I'm so happy that they liked Fingertip
Again. To people that will always complain in UMUs video, please understand. they're just human beings that still need to do their homework, study, etc. they're busy. they're not robots that being installed to react all kpop mv. don't push them so hard to react your lovely mv.
please stop complaining about everything. if their reaction didn't please you, then go away. 😊
GFRIEND IS JJANG!! The cutest girls and they are very, very ward working!
Please react to Gfriend's new comeback song which is "Time for the moon night"
one of their best eras so underappreciated
Hey, Umu! ^*^ First I'd like to say that we really appreciate the hard work and sincerity you guys put into these! I think I've watched most of your videos already! Honestly I feel like I am hanging out with sum sort of friends ... squad ... thing (that's kinda creepy) but yeah! You are all so cute and natural you make us smile! :) Also now after watching you guys analyze these songs I've noticed that I listen to music and its layering and quality more precisely and am able to explain why I believe that certain songs or pieces are "good" which is extremely satisfying! I am also really glad because of ALL your bangtan and seventeen content since I'm an army and a carat ^_^ Especially looking forward to "Fast pace" aka sexiness overload!!!
NOW !!! I've noticed that you haven't reacted to Monsta x yet and they aren't in your schedule either. Really I believe they are worth your time so it'd be nice if you considered them!
Also if I may make a suggestion-please react to "All in" versus "Fighter". All in has a nice storyline going on and "Fighter" is hype in just the right way ;)
Thanks in advance! FIGHTING!!!
That slap bass is taking Peyton to another dimension (3:55) oh Peyton, I knew thee well ^-^
The Awakening: Peyton realizing he says "like" a lot
ty for reacting this song..its seems perfect...
Nuest love paint and overcome!!
Lily lil OMG YESSS THOSE ARE TWO OF MY TOP FAVE KPOP SONGS ♡♡
Aaron Clariz yess!! And lol i been trying to convince them but i think they just ignore my comments :(
GFRIEND doesn't sound like kpop to me it always sounds very jpop
ForTaxReasons yeah and DREAMCATCHER also
ForTaxReasons Is K-POP.
José Lee Muñoz 2 Army Once Buddy T-ARA Fan I know they're kpop
Yea I’ve thought this would be a cool theme song for an anime.
ForTaxReasons it's only Kpop because it is in Korean tbh
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
"...NOOOOOOOO"
THEY FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT THE MUSIC AND WAS FOCUSED ON MV KKKK SO CUTE!
This is my ever favorite gfriend song!!!
GFRIEND IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THE DRUMS ON THIS SONG!!!
I love this style of music for Gfriend
Fingertip needs more deserve I bet. And Korean didn't pay attention on it. *gfriend is the true music*
miss yunyi~ so good to see her here TT
Gfriend are so perfect!!
I requested this, and i was waiting these everyday then it WAHHH!!! ♥♥♥
#BUDDIE
"I think the genre's funk-fusing"😂😂😂😂💛
Thankss for reacting to GFRIEND😍😍😍, Fingertip is one of my favourite songs!! Hope you react to their new recents songs😄😄
Watching this again in 2020 even more impressed by gfriend! #crossroad
I don't know if you have it already in your list to react but CLOSER from OH MY GIRL
I just love that song
Most of Gfriend's Discography sounds like an anime intro for example, fingertip sounds like a city hunter intro
KEVINS PUNS IN THE BEGINNING OF EVERY VID I CAN'T DJSKSKKS-
This is what makes "Classical Musicians React" so unique. My initial reaction was, "Wow! GFriend is cute, but sexy. I think Eunha might have bias wrecked by love for SinB in that video."
2 of them seemed more interested in the video itself lmao 5:04 "nooooooo" hahha
Please react to SUNMI - GASHINA, and SISTAR - I LIKE THAT! 😍
They really love GFriend 💖
every time I hear GFRIEND's music, I think they sound like S Club 7 😅😅 not the vocals but like the track itself, particularly the intros
pepper l Gfriend even continuously performed an S Club 7 song on outdoor events during their debut days, hahaha :)
wait really?? omg I had no idea, I'll have to go look that up
its S Club 7 - Bring it all back... they even made a choreo for it lol
Omg im so bloody happy that they love fingertip 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 but that guy that did the aound effects with his mouth is lit 😍
i really liked finger tip sooo much i feel like i'm watching a fantasy made by gfriend themselves
on one hand i really like this cos they were using words to describe their music that i had never heard of so its teaching me more about music and i love that, this never happens with reaction channels where i watch the reaction and get nothing out of it. on the other i was annoyed when they described the vocals as basic with the same harmonies and there was no outstanding vocalist but they were right in thinking that way. im just annoyed cos im a buddy who has heard yuju sing mariah carey and other songs that better showcase her vocals and that the title tracks dont really get to showcase how good their vocals actually are cos they use a lot of instrumentals and have to sing at a higher, similar pitch
even i have followed u since 2 months ago
still,u are the best
why? because u explain what another people can't explain like
"This is so classy"
"The violin bla bla bla"
"The beat is bla bla bla"
so,whenever i showed this to my friend
they learn to understand KPOP
AND I WAIT TO INFECT ALL OF MY FRIENDS INTO HARDCORE KPOP FAN
FAH~! my bad english
Have you seen sorry bij The Rose. I didn't see it in the list, but it would be a greet addition!!! Thank you for these amazing videos by the way!
Great reaction as usual.
I don't usually ask for reactions but SF9 - O Sole Mio would be a good candidate?
Yes!!
yes
Fanfare is amazing too
Omg Yes!
yes please
First of all, I love this song. Second of all, I HEAR DREAM GIRL. Agh, Im so looking forward to that!!
