*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/bop/huge hit 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. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Rookie antis are shaking
yasha _ seriously. I love that song so much.
I don't think so but hey, everyone has their own musical preference
Rookie is such a good song!
at first i really dislike this song when it just came out... but after try to listen to them more... its like a poison. Most red velvet songs has the same shit effect, like dumb dumb and peekaboo. I dislike them at first, but like them later after listen more. Russian Roulette is more "general" and easier to accept but a bit bored after awhile.
I like Russian Roulette’s MV
I like Rookie’s Dance
"This is the song that I would listen to a lot in private but would never tell anyone about it"
Literally me in the freaking first few days of ROOKIE.
red velvet is the most versatile new gen girl group sorry but i don’t make the rules
don't forget CLC
Kang Ji Ah
Only because they aren't popular. All their songs are diverse and great.
+Kang Ji Ah nah. it is because you don't like them. clc sing all genre.
+Kang Ji Ah I forgot that it is just your opinion. Sure, you can say that and I can say others. We agree to disagree, right?
CLC has nice diversity of genre but they have only one rapper.
I like how Kevin just naturally picks it up and plays it from the first listen like its nothing
Shia Z.A ifkr that's like pure talent right there
That impressed me, I really admire musicians!
It is a LOT of studies
p e r f e c t p i t c h
Jkjk
That’s what happens when you practice 40 hours a day🤣🤣🤣
I think this reaction is very interesting because it shows the difference between the musicians and the vocalists. The musicians really like rookie because the music is interesting for them, but the vocalist hate it because the vocals are weird and annoying for them.
Yes, is super interesting the contrast between them and how they see different parts of the same song. I also enjoy when they hear their instrument in a song. This is why I love this channel.
True. This gives more insight than the usual debate among fans. As someone who doesn't understand music well, I often find it hard to explain why a song "sounds" bad to me. But I just realized that you can pick apart the pieces of a song then analyze them separately.
Rookie song is so repetitive but has a very weird and interesting instrumental that musicians play attention to. In a stop that vocals do, it sounds like a trumpet or something like that and it's like "oh, wow", for example
this really make sense to me now thank you
i'm a musician but hate the vocals part 😂 the chanting part is annoying
Reactions to Rookie were really interesting!!! Whether you find it annoying or not it's still so hype and fun! I remember when Red Velvet were on Jonghyun's Blue Night radio they were talking about how nervous they were for the public's reaction to Rookie because it's so repetitive and different... Jonghyun said something along the lines of 'yeah it's repetitive but Rookie is still a song gives you a lot of energy compared to Ring Ding Dong which drains all your energy' bahahahaha
Ginny he's wrong tho ring ding dong gives me a lot of energy. Energy to procrastinate with hw and instead jamming to the song.
I’ll miss Jonghyun so much😭
ThePersonWhichWillDie BecauseOfKPop bahahahahaha true... I guess it’s up to the listener but we’ll never really know because we don’t have to perform it 😅
Seul On Fire perks of being a patreon 😉
BlackPink's Jisoo me too ❤️
rookie was unexpectedly my most played song of 2017 according to spotify lmao so seeing people liking it is gratifying
Same.
I absolutely enjoyed it since the first time I heard it in a compilation video... but ppl used to say that Rookie's got that demonic chorus that sticks in your mind for eternity, which I think was the effort composers were aiming for :)
lmao same here. This song is more addictive than drugs. It's already 2018 and I still cant get over the chorus
girl almighty super late BUt SAME GURLLL
It's still my most played song this 2018 😂 Along with bad boy ❤
"She talks so well."
- Kevin (to Seulgi)
Seulgi does everything well. Apparently even speech singing.
*The girl is pushing a trolley bed out into a running car!!*
Henry: "OHH That's a weird ass..
.
.
.
...Minor 3."
Angel Yixing lmfao I'm laughing like a dying horse
I was expecting him to comment on that scene but he went nerd instead haha
Angel Yixing SAME I NOTICED THAT TOO
Angel Yixing Hahaha that's exactly how I experienced that moment
SAME... I always enjoy other reactors gasping at that dangerous scene... but not our Henry! lol 😂
"Red Velvet is toying with my emotions"
- Me, always.
sgt. zoldyck I’m ur 1000th like hehe
You should just make them listen to all Red Velvet albums. That'll blow their frickin minds if they hear how many great songs they have.
Yep, I've downloaded ALL their songs and I don't regret it... so many hidden gems...
Errm I wouldn't say i'll blow their mind tho
But the album is good
perfect velvet is my fav
@@0111mango they mean ALL the songs not the Russian Roulette album.
KINGDOM COME
tbh...red velvet is the BEST girl group. their vocals are so good, and their songs??? i am picky when it comes to buying albums but i LOVE their non-title tracks also!! my fave albums have to be rookie and perfect velvet! but as for my favorite songs...one of these nights, red flavor (REACT TO IT PLS), zoo and peek a boo!
OOPS I FORGOT DUMB DUMB AND RUSSIAN ROULETTE ALSO JSJAKKAKA
Ice Cream Cake album has the best usage of instruments for me (Candy is my favorite), but Zoo is one of the best
I forgot how much I missed seeing Yunyi and Kevin react to music together
They react well together and have a deeper connection for me than the new one that is paired with Kevin these days. That's why I miss Yunyi so much...
yess :(
Ikr
They're the perfect pair. Unrivaled!
Yunyi and kevin is my favorite reactors, I miss yunyi 😭
Rookie is everyone's guilty pleasure. Admit it.
Andy Wot guilty pleasure is like... liking something but you don't want others to discover that you like it, i wrote this comment when yunyi said that she would listen to the song secretly and not tell anyone that she likes it.
Yep. And GolCha IS MY WRECKER LAST 2017😂 hi. Just saw that your pic is bomin😂
Yeahh i agree with that😂
That's true
a FACT
"I love weird people"
Welcome, fellow Reveluv! We have tons of weird ass thing and you will definitely love it.
fun fact: irene and yeri absolutely despised "rookie". irene said it was just too childish and yeri said that it was really hard to dance and sing to this song and once she even threw up after a "rookie" performance.
People actually liking Rookie? I love people with TASTE
im like tt rookie has great beat and requires deeper listening.
Yep a tune truly for higher functioning beings
im like tt best comment i’ve read since 2018 enters
I feel horrible bc at first I didnt like it but when I kept listening to it, Im just jamming to it
Trisha Alice It took me MONTHS to come around on Rookie. At first I felt neutral to the song, then it became a guilty pleasure and now I think it's Red Velvet's best song.
You know the song is good when Kevin stands up and play the melody on the piano lol
happy melon OMFFF TRUEEE
That was the best part 👌
Not surprised they liked Rookie cause the instrumentals are lit! The vocals or so called speech-singing is annoying though and it def gives a bad/repetitive overall feel (to many). But it’s also fun to see two contrasting songs like RR and Rookie and what they think of them - because where the other lacks in composing the other one doesn’t and vice verse.
Agh I can just talk abt Red Velvet songs for so long in general - these girls NEVER tread the same water and that’s what makes them a gem in kpop.
Who's doing a redvelvet reacttothek marathon? Yep, that's me.
Wish they could react to Psycho tho
Me too but SM Artists
doing it right now after the recent 'Sappy' reaction video posted :)
ME TOO
"Red Velvet toying with my emotions"
Same, Kevin
You know it's gonna be a Red Velvet year when reacttothek reacted to RV MVs on the 1st day of the year
Haris Nazarulasmal amen to this
rookie was the true turning point for red velvet (and sm's direction in production) so anyone who likes peek a boo, red flavour, bad boy etc you have rookie to thank for that!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate rookie at first listen. But i forgot something, RV's song is always addicting
Yeah, and then when i hear it again with earphone, i realize the vocals are just sooo good and wendy's high note too :v and the instrumental especially the bass, i like it. That song become addicting..
rookie is so annoying, but it really grows on you. when it came out I was moving into my new flat, and while cleaning I heard rookie for 7 hours straight..... I regret nothing.
7 Hrs?? Damn, you mustn't had playlist back then :D
Red velvet is the best of the best
longseng Poon yes i agree
longseng Poon top notch in every department.
longseng Poon no lie detected
AMEN TO THAT
if you love rookie, then you’re a person of culture
Red Velvet only fused the Red and Velvet sides for Peekaboo, though.
It's just that the Russian Roulette and Rookie albums had red and velvet songs both. The title tracks were pure red.
Rookie & Russian Roulette
are Red concept... I think
@@user-hl7xf1kb7r they are, which is why I said albums.
Body talk, last love, etc are definitely velvet songs
I like the fact that they were sincere. It's okay not to like/enjoy a song.
i love seeing ppl with taste validating my love for rookie. i've seen ppl brush it off as just an annoying kidz bop, which i can partly understand bc the vocals can be grating at times. the instrumental HOWEVER, is some next-level shit. listen to it and see the light
I see you're a person of culture.
The fact that it's their most-hated title track honestly makes me mad. It's a GOOD song.
It slaps. The chorus sounded weird af to me at the first listen but then i got used to it
The Music Box it changes now. Their most hated title track is RBB😂😂
@@resurgingflame WHICH ALSO MAKES ME SO MAD
Rookie is an intellectual song, only smart people like it I swear
Really. I totally agree
"Red velvet's toying with my emotions"
Tell me something more accurate lol
people liking rookie?? INTELLECTUALS
RED FLAVOR VS PEEKABOO!! PLLLSSSSS REACT ON THOSE 2 POLAR OPPOSITES!!!!!💖💛💙💚💜
Ohh yes please 😁😁😁😁😁
Yes please those two! 😍
Ohhh yes pleeeeease 😆😆♥️
Only red velvet can go from eating fruit to eating pizza men
I really want to watch it!♡
*One of the best red velvet songs*
THATS AN INTELLECTUAL IF I EVER HEARD OF ONE
It's interesting how their opinions on Rookie were just as polarizing as everyone else's
Yesss the old gang back together! So glad to see some reacters we haven’t seen in a while!
Yunyi. Such a reveluv. Ahahahaha~
Rookie is still stuck in my head and it’s 2018. 😂😂😂
me in 2020
Me in 2021
me in august 2021
" The world is dull now, reality is never going to be as colorful."
YOU HAVE NO IDEA I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A RUSSIOAN ROULETTE REACTION THABKYOU SO MUCH UMUUUUUU😍😍😍
edit : and oh how i've missed Yunyi!!!
tenerife sea Edits the comment and still fucks up
Holy Mochi Jimin ohh sorry I didn't notice the typo
tenerife sea lol
ALL RED VELVET REACTS ARE WORTH THE WAIT
THIS IS A GREAT START TO THE YEAR
THANK YOU REACTTOTHEK FAM
Kevin's laugh on the rookie react should be on that Twitter acc "perfectly cut screams" lmaooooo
한국어 자막 누가해놓은거냐 거의다 해석 못했으면서 왜 걸어놓은거임? 어이없음
I like Hugo and Gwen's reactions; it's interesting to see how vocalists's viewpoints differ from the musicians':)))
Mai Nguyễn TRUUUEEEE
Rookie is song that either a hit or miss
shab rina hate it love it but never in between type :)
"Gosh they so damn good" I hope everyone will appreciate RV like these classical musician do
Hugo hurt my feelings when he said they cant sustain notes... Wendy and seulgi are two of the best vocalists of this generation.... show them happiness or red flavor
He didn't say that they can't, just that they didn't in this particular case (which was a deliberate choice, one which he didn't like).
matheuspaog Mmm...with Mamamoo around...? Hmmm...
matheuspaog “two of the best vocalists of this generation” AND THATS WHERE I STOP YOU THERE.
glossy I believe he meant to say that they're two of some best vocalists in this generation, he didn't say they're the best two of them all. I mean Wendy IS the best female vocalist among new generation girlgroup, no new generation girl group vocalist beats her in terms of vocal technique (except if you count fx as new gen gg then Luna is the best). keep in mind that Wendy is the only well rounded vocalist among new gen gg with all of her register fairly developed,she's at least a proficient vocalist. and that's including all of mamamoo's member since each of the three vocalist of mamamoo is just above average. while seulgi is an average vocalist but her sense of pitch is fairly good.
Adp Trojan And you’re getting this from...?
I see Red Velvet, I click
I really find Rookie Musically interesting (I guess?)
The Instrumental uploaded in YT is really entertaining to listen
ASTROnly _아스트로 me too
is it bad that i like the instrumental better than the original
Yes! The instrumental sounds weird for a song but it's so interesting
Person speaking: ...Red velvet
Captions: ...red vulva
Me: *slowly disintegrates* I. Am. So. Done with these auto-generated captions.
Pierce The Motionless Sirens Korean actually pronounce it as "lad babe" lol
It's that time of the month
@@jack-yb1wk 🤣🤣🤣
“Red Velvet is toying with my feelings” -Kevin
same bruh same..
I FREAKING LOVE BOTH OF THESE SONGS. I FEEL BLESSED
Yram Rodriguez sameee
the vocalists are heated over rookie
Kevin’s reaction to Rookie was fucking hilarious 😂😂😂👌🏽
Rookie and Russian Roulette are my all time favorite of Red Velvet.
same
Naoki is looking so handsome in this
Yram Rodriguez always
i felt attacked
Now I need a reaction to Peek A Boo and Be Natural 😌😌
I like how everybody realizes only at the end that Russian roulette is so dark OTL
Fight me all you want but red velvet will always be number one girl group in my book✌️
I love how everyone has such different opinions on these! It's so interesting seeing how people who play different instruments like different parts of the songs.
Hugo: "I don't want to listen to this anymore" hahahaha that was me when I first listened to it
Kevin Phan Same same same lol
Yeah and it only took me the second listen to change my mind lmao
Them saying minor, major and other music terminologies and I cant even relate but still love the whole video hahahaha
A great video to start your new year.
CHARLOTTE! IS! SLAYING! THAT! ONESIE!
she's great isn't she?
what about peek a boo? or the perfect velvet songs? that are really sick
Yokai Sparda Peekaboo’s on their ‘musicians to-react’ playlist
YES
kingdom comes!!!!!!
yeaaa that one
they filmed it before even Peek-A-Boo was released
I remember when Rookie first came out and I hated it but then after about a week or two it became one of my favorite songs by them. ♥️😂♥️
They should react to The Perfect Velvet album (maybe even just 5 songs? Like i just, kingdom come [vOCAAAAALS],perfect 10 etc..) so far every reaction video really liked the album bcs it is equivalent to the holy bible and it would really be nice to hear the input or what the classical musicians has to say about it (with dem classical musician language that half of the viewers don't understand but it sounds cool so..)
Please react to Red Flavor and Peek A Boo!!!!
they will react to peek a boo later
I've been waiting for these!! Always so excited to hear the reactors' opinions on RV. Next time it would be great to see a Red Flavour vs Peekaboo reaction. They're two of my favourite RV songs and I think Peekaboo will be interesting to analyse audio and video wise :)
I love the effects of Rookie. You either love it so much or you can't stand the song, there's no in between hahaha. For me I absolutely adore Rookie. It's my favorite Red Velvet song.
"Red Velvet is playing with my emotions" - Kevin HAHAHA
Me when ever I listen to Russian roulette ‘my pelvis hurts, my head hurts’ (chorus choreo)
Red Flavor vs Peek-A-Boo Please!!
“red velvet’s toying with my emotions” me everyday tbh mood
woah he just literally play Russian roulette after in just one listening
THE WORLD IS DULL NOW i feel you bro 😢
Cant wait for them to react to peekaboo
...I can't believe I completely forgot that RV has a song called 'Russian Roulette'. I saw the title and was like, "But that's a Spica song!" XD
I do that with Kpop songs a lot. Lol.
these are my favorite reactions because they actually know when something is interesting or new. They can explain how the song is made. I actually learned a lot about red velvet through these videos.
Finally, reactors who doesn't only look on music videos and visuals but in voice.
YUNYI AND KEVINNNNNNN YASSSSS
I absolutely hated rookie the first time I heard it; but it's grown on me a ton
Am I the only one to be fascinated by Kevin and how he randomly starts playing some stuff and it sounds good? Like, I know he does this for a hella long time and he studies this a lot too, but still, woah
Also I feel the girl in the unicorn onesie on a spiritual level
You’re so organized what with the schedule and everything! I will definitely be heavily anticipating the ones to come! Thank you so much for your hard work
RED VELVET IS THE BEST GIRL GROUP EVER
Edit: I am laughing so hard at the replies cause YALL ARE TOO SALTY, BUT RED VELVET IS INDEED THE BEST GIRL GROUP EVER
Facts only
I'm not gonna fight you with that. It's true!
Fax no copy machine
Baekhyun & Seulgi stan For you
YAAAS
I'm a simple person. I saw Red Velvet, I click.
shout out to anyone else who liked Rookie immediately when it came out
Final starts from 3 hours from now. Watching this to release stress.
BEST GIRLGROUP OF THE YEAR
KEVIN AND YUNYI AT THE END!! SAME
OKAY I GOTTA COMMENT BEFORE I WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO BECAUSE OMG IM SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS LONG AWAITED REACTION FROM YOU GUYSSS IM SO HAPPY THANK YOU SO MUCCH
YES
I've been waiting for it so baaadly
Happy to see Yunyi on it
Thanks for the video, Umu!
Red Velvet: A trippy trip.
Red Flavor and Peek-A-Boo!! I think they'll find the tracks of 'Perfect Velvet' album interesting. Especially the songs 'Look' and 'Kingdom Come'.
i am rewatching all russian roulette related vids bc of the trolls world tour hype
"i love weird people" damn girll me too!!!!
YASSSSSSS I HAVE CAMPED FOR THIS
