It's been a long time coming. Gosh I love this group... Also, during the editing process i kept listening to Hwasa and I have the tiniest suspicion she may have actually been sick during this performance (can anyone confirm or deny this for me?). I will most likely be thinking about this long into the night.
Yeah she was a bit sick during this shoot. We guess it was because she was working too much (before her maria comeback she was filming for ILA/YoEunPa variety show, then after maria she's still filming for that variety show and the project group refund sisters, then there comes mamamoo's comeback) without rest. And we just found out earlier this year that she lost her grandma during aya promotions so she must really be tired and stressed
I wonder too, but I think Hwasa's false vocal folds always have something to contribute, so it is hard to say. Even when they're messing about they demonstrate such commitment to the vocal, I'm always impressed. They are so solid the way they just seem to lock into that committed, competent and yet still vulnerable place I imagine one has to go to make music so consistently emotionally engaging. Love your fan-woman-ing and enthusiasm for Mamamoo in addition to your coaching chops.
The saddest thing is that Wheein is the most underrated singer in the kpop world, but the most versatile. She has sweetest voice I've ever heard and yet people ignore her talent.
I don't know "people" are. But literly every video I've ever seen of either this, immortal medley, or Miss You live, are all praises to Wheein. You kpop fans need to stop inventing false narrative just for the fun of it. She's not under rated by any means.
Yeah i love her belting bcos it doesnt sound too high pitched instead very powerful but for solo theres plenty of them esp artists starring on immortal songs
Have y'all listened to ailee? Her belting is one of my favorites other than solar's! She also has a killing voice segment i definitely recommend it!😊😊😊
I know of only 2 groups that are close to Mamamoo in vocals (they are the best), one of them is Dreamcatcher who are experts at mixing genres and put a lot of rock-adjacent and metal sounds with their vocals. They've got great concepts, top visuals to support the m/v's especially recently, NEVER sing songs about boys (in 4 1/2 years they have zero of those) and explore all other genres in b-sides. Dreamcatcher - Piri or Boca are a good introduction, Endless Night is full J-metal, BEcause their recent release (closer to drum & bass style with more vocals).
You are definitely gonna check out some Dreamcatcher. Their Japanese releases hit harder because, well, Japan is all about that metal life and Korea not so much. But the majority of their title tracks will have something you're gonna like.
As people have said, Hwasa was sick during this. It's also worth noting when you talk about vocal work load and her stylistic choices, she was doing the Mamamoo comeback, also performing with Refund Sisters, and preparing her Solo stages of Maria for the back to back award shows from Nov-Jan all at this time. As for Solar, she stated that some of these songs they hadn't sung in a while, and that she really wanted to be flawless, with a lot of nerves going into it. Would you say that could contribute to how she approached I Miss You in this particular live set? I always notice how she loosens up after that song is done like the hardest work is over.
To also add, she hurt her back really badly just a week before her Maria comeback, she couldn’t move for one day and even two days before her first performance, she could barely walk. She was in the hospital for a few days I believe but in the reality show ‘I live alone’ you can see her struggle and how she would practice her dance while laying down on her couch :( While doing mamamoo & refund sisters she still had to be very careful with her back and it still hurt, I believe she had a herniated disk?
I never expected someone to explain vocal technique with video game terminology but for once I can actually understand instead of just nodding along! thanks lol
Oh by the way, i hope you can react to their new song! They will be releasing a mini album on June 2. It's the first part of the three things that they prepared for the fans for their 7th anniversary (1. Comeback/mini album 2. Concert 3.Documentary)
@@alexterieur8813 no. Three members already renewed their contracts, we're just waiting for wheein and she'd most likely renew hers too because there aren't any rumors nor articles about her joining or being in-talks with other agencies and her bestfriend is in rbw so the chance of her not renewing her contract is very low. IF. If she ever decided not to renew her contract, mamamoo still wouldn't disband, wheein can negotiate with her new agency for her to able to participate in mamamoo's group activities if she wanted to. (like got7)
@@jvoxfox Glad you are well. I'm very busy with assignments as I am finishing College. My memory stick corrupted the other day so have to re-do some of my assignments and have to get them done by this week. Apart from all of that, I'm good. Getting by. 💛🙏
I love how I can literally see the adoration in your eyes for Mamamoo while you're watching (as we all are!) Also, that story with savage wheein is legendary in the fandom haha. Welcome to the rabbit hole fellow radish :')
My mamamoo thirst from your channel has been quenched. It's been 84 years. Thank you so SO much for this!! And I seriously love how much i learn from you (while also appreciating our vocal queens!)
'Clown' to 'Crown' is not a world play. It is Korean/Japanese accent. Those two languages don't have the hard 'L' sound in a beginning of a word, so it comes out more like 'R' sound a lot of times. You can see that happening in older Playstation commercials. 'Praystashong', they say. I know it was done intentionally, but it happens a lot in real life.
Hmm yeah you're right it is the Korean accent, but I feel like it's also intentional because in the choreography on that part, the girls do a "crown" motion over Wheein's head
@@sinthiarahman1396 i always wonder if the choreographers heard the 'crown' in the lyrics and just went with it without seeing what the full line actually was
Like Sinthia said, I think it was a play on the accent, since the two words end up sounding the same in the Koreanized version of the English clown. I remember watching someone talk about how there are English words that have been added to Korean vocabulary but with a Korean sound. I imagine that was the point when writing/choreographing Aya.
13:50 Hwasa was indeed sick for that performance. You can hear a more nasal sound from her and she even struggled a little at some point to keep her voice going. I haven't finished the video so idk if you catched those moments but I wanted to comment. Love your reactions and how you explain these things btw. 🖤
The clown/crown part it is indeed word play. Even in the choreo, when Wheein sings that part, they make a crown with their hands on top of Wheein. Mamamoo loves word play.
Their friendship and excellent mutual relations are one of the most important assets of their music. This is another, almost ethereal level of harmonization in every dimension. That's why, for example, Hwasa, who could make a solo career on an even larger scale than Mamamoo, does not want to leave them.
Hello! I don’t know if you know, but MAMAMOO has released a new song today titled “Where Are We Now”. Their vocals REALLY shine as it’s a ballad. Please do check it out if you haven’t
Your comment at the end of "Wind Flower" about Hwasa sounding like she had some electronic layering "or sometimes when people are sick, they can sound that way." There's been a LOT of other reactors that commented that Hwasa sounded a bit sick during this recording, and I recall hearing something to the effect that she actually was . . . kinda explains a bit of the . . . heavier quality of her sound in this performance. That said . . . hell, I'd pay to be able to sing like Hwasa when I'm sick! Thanks for the reaction!
@@LudmilaRamirez7 it's the video she's talking about at the end, where wheein had to guess a word and solar gave her the hint 'something we don't have'
It's so fun to see how much you've fallen for Mamamoo since your first video on them haha, this was great 😄 I love how accessible you make the vocal terminology for someone like me who hasn't studied it. Your MP/HP metaphor for describing vocal effects was really effective and interesting. Your videos are always super informative while being just as entertaining, I'm glad that we have you as a member of the radish farm!
Actually Hwasa was really vocally and fiscally tired at that time. Mamamoo made two comeback songs and Hwasa also did a debut as Refund sisters member for a korean tv program.
Interesting how you mentioned that Hwasa may experience more fatigue than the other members due to her utilization of her styling. Hwasa is known for being a very chill and relaxed person who gets tired easily, and she even spoke about how she is always tired. In moments in a show called Boss In The Mirror, you can catch scenes of Hwasa laying down because of how easily her energy is spent. So I found it interesting you mentioning that her vocal style can even cause her to feel more fatigued than the others.
@@diah-502 I know she was also very busy, but it’s not just during then. I also said that she has always come off as a chill and low energy person. I’m not saying it’s due to her vocal style alone, that’d be ignorant. I was just saying that it’s interesting that Katrinka said her to vocal style may cause some fatigue because Hwasa out of the members is already a chill and low energy person. Maybe we can theorize that’s why she’s able to use a lot of/consistently use that stylization, because she doesn’t use so much energy outside of when she needs to.
@@echodvc4543 I’m not reading all that. My point was you used the situation as an example of her always being tired which doesn’t fit in context to what you said. She was genuinely tired because of the 4 shows she was on. I’m not disagreeing that she isn’t the member that gets tired easily. 2 things can be true at the same time
@@diah-502 Would you feel better if I deleted my comment? Because I’m not going to do a back and forth, especially since you don’t want to make the effort to read something that is “all that” when it’s only a few sentences.
Oh wow finally hahaha, thanks so much. I love the girls so much, they're all amazing. I mean I have no words tbh, their performances always speak for itself.
the key to byul is that when she gets excited she loses some of that groundedness and gets a little nasal in sound, her raps also have more adlib growls hahahah
My favourite thing about this video is that they mostly keep their decorum. Then they start HIP and it's like a switch gets flipped and it's full MMM crazy time.
My favorite thing about this Mamamoo vidéo is Moonbyul, because she doesnt have a lot of singing/rapping parts, so instead of just standing, she's dancing and playing around and that's the cutest thing ever (especially her little dance during Gogobebe lol)
Something I have noticed about K-pop groups in general and Mamamoo in particular is that they are more relaxed about mixing timbres even during tight harmonies. In traditional choral, even for barbershop, there has always been a strong emphasis on sounding alike. Mamamoo does that to a point, but mainly they realize that accurate pitch harmonies and volume matching is more important than matching timbres. Red Velvet is another group that does not try too hard to match timbres.
Nice observation. You’re totally right. There is a reason why too. Mostly it’s due to the difference in the roles/goals comparing a vocal group comprised of soloists and a choir who are trying to sound like one seamless voice. First is the style, they are actually doing a great job matching in a contemporary vocal set up so that it still sounds epic but at the same time, they’re belting like soloists, something you won’t find a choir doing. A choir uses a choral (classical based) vocal set up to achieve their sound and goal. So the vocal set up but also the responsibility of each vocalist is different. They’re using the build in intensity in their belt to create an awesome big sound (I can guarantee for the recorded ‘backing vocal’-esque vocals however that the person mixing and mastering would have gone through and made sure they weren’t clashing in timbre and still sound as seamless as possible... different goal in those vocals again).
You did it again. Did not think I would stay, not my thing but got sucked in again and loved the pure talent. Most the arrangements are amazing, they're so tight dropping in and out and most of all having a great time loving their time together. Thanks Julia.
i watched this dingo performance so many times and thru reactions. I love it so much. the only thing i wished they did was to leave the I miss you chorus to Wheein’s part vs Solar’s Chorus in the beginning. Wheein’s queendom version was so amazing and angelic🙂
The only thing I thought could have been better was a little more of a pause between I Miss You and Hip. They just go right from one to the other without a break.
i too wish the first chorus goes to wheeinie to make the drama even more contrast (from the angelic head voice from wheein, progresses to strong&desperate plea from solar) also i wished wheein’s part on dingga was not ‘touched’ albeit slightly. i may be wrong but i think dingo might try to fix the noise and some other basic sound correcting but to me it seems like wheein’s voice (and on the back, the other 3) is a bit distorted there. everything else for me is purefectionnn
Love your reaction Julia :3 It’s been a long way since your first time reacting to Mamamoo (back in then you had no idea what are their name and called them by the color of their suits xD) and now you remember all their name & start fangirling over them. It’s soooo adorable 😭 Ps: Seeing vocal coaches reacting to Mamamoo then slowly turning into their fan is way too satisfying for me. I mean stan talents stan Mamamoo tho 😍
I can imagine if Julia reacted to all of the Mamamoo videos she watched, this channel would turn into a moomoo channel. By the way I love how Moonstar plays around with the timing in her raps. So good. Hwa sa does have a tendency to do too much in the way of work load, from one project to another, although RBW does try to get them to rest and not over work them, all of this work they do individually is voluntary,
I'm here because I was very curious of an insight of their technic from a professional, but I'm really happy I discovered your channel because your reactions are wholesome ! (btw when they talk at the beginning of Dingga Dingga I love them, they look like Minions hahaha) and yeeah Dingga is sooo catchy I'm learning the choreo because I can' t stop dancing on it for Aya, Solar released a vocal guide she made on her channel, I'm going to listen again after that, everything is so interesting
I'm pretty sure Hyejin was sick that day, with a bit of a flu. They had an interview segment before they went on stage that day and if you're used to listening to her speaking voice, it becomes quite obvious that she was down with something. Also, yeah, Wheein's famous "KASEUM!!!" x) LOL. Thanks for this. It definitely made my afternoon better =)
Your old Mamamoo reactions are some of my favorite videos ever, thank you for making another!! It was so nice to return to your vocal analyses a year later and see that you enjoy Mamamoo as people as well as their vocals... talk about wholesome. I hope you get to see mamamoo's comeback on June 2nd, it looks like we may be getting a ballad title track (and therefore a return to their classic belts and harmonies that you mentioned). Plus a Mamamoo documentary (!!!!). Love from the USA!
Vocal goddesses doing what they do best, I love that they still tease and have fun with each other during the performance. I'd be very curious to see your opinions on another group I hold close to my heart, dreamcatcher. I think there's a lot of stuff you'll love from them. Their songs Scream and Boca are 2 of my favorites as well as Siyeons (main vocalist) cover of speechless and her solo song Paradise.
I like many Kpop artist/groups and Mamamoo is by far the most entertaining and talented in my opinion. They interaction with each other, range individual style is second to none and seeing them live is something that will most likely never happen and it is a shame.
GISEUM! (Breasts!) Wheein will never live that one down and we wouldn't have it any other way. 🤣🤣 You didn't pick it up but Hwasa was indeed sick with a cold that day so maybe that's where the phlegmy effect came from. I thought it was interesting to hear her manage her voice du jour and use it creatively rather than fighting it. I have no way of knowing how much post-production effects were a part of this video but it seems pretty clear there were times when there was more than just reverb going on, such as doubled words and phrases to achieve some of the things we hear on the original recording. One of my favorite moments is during Starry Night when Wheein supplies her own delay effect by repeating Bam ... bam and then turns to Hwasa and laughs at what she did (Hwasa didn't notice). I didn't notice the clown/crown pronunciation issue and tho the line "You got me jumping like a crazy clown" is a strange image for a breakup song it's no less strange than some of the other things going on in that song and MV. I have lots of theories about Aya but that's not one of them. 😏 Their bff chemistry is so magical it's alchemical. MMM believes they were fated to be best friends regardless of whether they were in MMM together or even whether they were singers, hence songs like Destiny and 4X4ever. Since you're having fun with their off stage videos have a look at the MMM-TV episode from their rookie days called How Mamamoo Plays in the Car if you haven't seen it yet.
Really enjoyed the video! Love the analysis that you give from your professional experience which I feel that some other similar channels drop that aspect a bit and just end up fangirling (hard not to) but props to you for providing quality content! Thanks Julia!
Oh so happy you did this! 😃 Curious if you’ve come across any of the videos that pitch Byul’s voice up or Wheein’s down. It’s crazy to me how similar they sound.
30:00 in korean the letter equivalent to an "r" and an "l" sound is the same (ㄹ), so I believe that's the reason they pronounce "clown" as "crown" and it ends up having a double meaning with the crown thingy they make with their hands while singing that. I just think it's a language thing between english and korean.
mamamoo are i’m pretty pretty sure the first kpop group i listened to and stanned, it is sad that wheein is leaving the group but good for her, she deserves a better company who’d treat her well. but all this time i’ve seen how awesome and amazing they are they deserve the whole world.
Thanks for doing this. Probably already mentioned but please check out Pickachoo cover. Whee Ins adlibs are so well done. Her support for each is the best. New come back in June👍😊😍🤩
Watching you watch Mamamoo is the best way to uplift yourself. You just get so excited and, of course, it's a reaction video, cue mirror neurons, engage viral contagion (in a completely healthy non-COVID kind of way). Fangirl away. You're awesome.
i’m south korean, and not sure if anyone explained this question but at 29:54… in hangul, the consonant ㄹ in pronunciation is kind of complex for english because it blends differently in a lot of words.. but it essentially comes out as an english "L/R". in speaking english, this is a tricky bit of language-specific pronunciation skill to learn as it would basically be like a new contradicting rule for a letter of the alphabet you grew up with long story short, a lot of koreans learning English would pronounce it this way and it’s likely not a play on words… more like how an english speaking person might learn french, but not sound french
OH MY GOD YES! I clicked so fast when I saw the notification I am the Tenth Like, also I am so glad that you finally reacted to this they all did such a Phenomenal Job like always! Wheein and Solar's Vocals were just Crazy their voices are so Angelic just Wow, Hwasa's beautiful Jazzy voice was Amazing like always, and Moonbyul's Gorgeous deep voice always gets me and her Rap was on point, just Wow! And you can tell that they were really going at it you can see their Veins in their neck and just again Wow! Also at 28:19 What is Hwasa doing!? 🤣😂 Anyways I can't wait for you to react to more Mamamoo such as more Music Videos, B - Sides, Live Performances, Covers, Dance Practices, Moments, and of course Ships! I can't wait for more Content from you and I hope that you are doing well and staying safe and healthy Julia! P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I can totally help you out with that if you need it, also I can't wait for you to check out more Red Velvet in the Future and also some other Groups as well!

What happened between your last mamamoo reaction and this one? You have become a full grown moomoo 😂
I dont know any Korean and I mainly listen to metal but that was amazing. So talented and well-balanced group of singers.

As for the choreography , I think the "crown" gesture was meant for the clown hat --you know, the one with many spikes with pom pom on the ends.
Glad you checked this one out... One of my all time favorite Mamamoo videos, really shows off their vocal chops.
13:50 Hwasa was indeed sick for that performance. You can hear a more nasal sound from her and she even struggled a little at some point to keep her voice going. I haven't finished the video so idk if you catched those moments but I wanted to comment. Love your reactions and how you explain these things btw. 🖤
Wheein singing when Moonbyul is singing might just be the best thing in K-pop
That's why Mamamoo is my favourite girl group in k-pop! They're amazing, they're voices are amazing, they're beautiful and sexy, I love them!
Just incase you don’t already know.. they’re releasing a new song 2nd June
The clown/crown part it is indeed word play. Even in the choreo, when Wheein sings that part, they make a crown with their hands on top of Wheein. Mamamoo loves word play.

Mamamoo deserve more recognition because all of them was so talented.
Thanks to TH-cam and the pandemic, I was introduced to this group. They are amazing performers, love listening to them do their thing. ❤️

There's been a LOT of other reactors that commented that Hwasa sounded a bit sick during this recording, and I recall hearing something to the effect that she actually was . . . kinda explains a bit of the . . . heavier quality of her sound in this performance.
That said . . . hell, I'd pay to be able to sing like Hwasa when I'm sick!
Thanks for the reaction!
Honestly, I never get tired of listening to Mamamoo. There's so much to look forward to, whenever they perform.
Its been 1003 years 😂
Thanks julia. That legendary kaseum video lmao
I was exhausted after a long day at work but now my body is full of soap bubbles and happiness! THANK YOU for doing this video :D
I can't believe you explained vocal effects and vocal strain through MP expenditure and HP loss ... You are truly of the people. I love it!
the amount of analogies that work when you translate singing into an arpg is honestly so many.
Lmao that legendary clip, We dont have breast!
ITS SO FUNNY
I love them all
@@jvoxfox THEY ARE HILARIOUS WITHOUT EVEN TRYING, LOL! Btw, thank you for the content! Much appreciated 😊😊
hey! you could have said height!
KASEUM!!
You know the legendary "KASEUM!"
You're a moomoo now. It's 100% official
about to comment the same thing lmao
when? (timestamp)
@@LudmilaRamirez7 it's the video she's talking about at the end, where wheein had to guess a word and solar gave her the hint 'something we don't have'
@@kalaksed if there's a clip of that in a MMM related or even non MMM related video, it never fails to make me laugh
@@kalaksed yeah yeah i know the mmm clip but i didnt see it in her video hahah
It's so fun to see how much you've fallen for Mamamoo since your first video on them haha, this was great 😄 I love how accessible you make the vocal terminology for someone like me who hasn't studied it. Your MP/HP metaphor for describing vocal effects was really effective and interesting. Your videos are always super informative while being just as entertaining, I'm glad that we have you as a member of the radish farm!
Actually Hwasa was really vocally and fiscally tired at that time. Mamamoo made two comeback songs and Hwasa also did a debut as Refund sisters member for a korean tv program.

Interesting how you mentioned that Hwasa may experience more fatigue than the other members due to her utilization of her styling. Hwasa is known for being a very chill and relaxed person who gets tired easily, and she even spoke about how she is always tired. In moments in a show called Boss In The Mirror, you can catch scenes of Hwasa laying down because of how easily her energy is spent. So I found it interesting you mentioning that her vocal style can even cause her to feel more fatigued than the others.
She was filming 3-4 shows back to back at that time
@@diah-502 I know she was also very busy, but it’s not just during then. I also said that she has always come off as a chill and low energy person. I’m not saying it’s due to her vocal style alone, that’d be ignorant. I was just saying that it’s interesting that Katrinka said her to vocal style may cause some fatigue because Hwasa out of the members is already a chill and low energy person.
Maybe we can theorize that’s why she’s able to use a lot of/consistently use that stylization, because she doesn’t use so much energy outside of when she needs to.
@@echodvc4543 I’m not reading all that. My point was you used the situation as an example of her always being tired which doesn’t fit in context to what you said. She was genuinely tired because of the 4 shows she was on. I’m not disagreeing that she isn’t the member that gets tired easily. 2 things can be true at the same time
@@diah-502 Would you feel better if I deleted my comment? Because I’m not going to do a back and forth, especially since you don’t want to make the effort to read something that is “all that” when it’s only a few sentences.
they're so good wtf love how well their voices work together
i freaked out when i see you're reacting to this. been waiting for a long time. Thank you, you're the best Julia!!!
Oh wow finally hahaha, thanks so much. I love the girls so much, they're all amazing. I mean I have no words tbh, their performances always speak for itself.
Finally, so happy to have your reaction.
the key to byul is that when she gets excited she loses some of that groundedness and gets a little nasal in sound, her raps also have more adlib growls hahahah
Yuuuus! Finally! Thank you so much! Havent seen it but i have no doubt this vid is amazing xD
She's a moomoo now guys, so adorable 🥺 maybe you could react to their solo stuff, your mamamoo reactions will always be welcomed 🥰
I’m so much waiting for you do this reaction!
Thank you. :)
I think Wheein has the most beautiful voice, which can help her with different and multiform role
My favourite thing about this video is that they mostly keep their decorum. Then they start HIP and it's like a switch gets flipped and it's full MMM crazy time.
My favorite thing about this Mamamoo vidéo is Moonbyul, because she doesnt have a lot of singing/rapping parts, so instead of just standing, she's dancing and playing around and that's the cutest thing ever (especially her little dance during Gogobebe lol)
Nearly 36 minutes of all of us fangirling over Mamamoo 😌
Something I have noticed about K-pop groups in general and Mamamoo in particular is that they are more relaxed about mixing timbres even during tight harmonies. In traditional choral, even for barbershop, there has always been a strong emphasis on sounding alike. Mamamoo does that to a point, but mainly they realize that accurate pitch harmonies and volume matching is more important than matching timbres. Red Velvet is another group that does not try too hard to match timbres.
Nice observation. You’re totally right. There is a reason why too. Mostly it’s due to the difference in the roles/goals comparing a vocal group comprised of soloists and a choir who are trying to sound like one seamless voice. First is the style, they are actually doing a great job matching in a contemporary vocal set up so that it still sounds epic but at the same time, they’re belting like soloists, something you won’t find a choir doing. A choir uses a choral (classical based) vocal set up to achieve their sound and goal. So the vocal set up but also the responsibility of each vocalist is different. They’re using the build in intensity in their belt to create an awesome big sound (I can guarantee for the recorded ‘backing vocal’-esque vocals however that the person mixing and mastering would have gone through and made sure they weren’t clashing in timbre and still sound as seamless as possible... different goal in those vocals again).
You did it again. Did not think I would stay, not my thing but got sucked in again and loved the pure talent. Most the arrangements are amazing, they're so tight dropping in and out and most of all having a great time loving their time together.
Thanks Julia.
YASSS FINALLY 😭 I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR TOO LONGGG
LOVELOTS FOR YOUR CHANNEL, MORE MMM CONTENTS TO COME 🥺
i watched this dingo performance so many times and thru reactions. I love it so much. the only thing i wished they did was to leave the I miss you chorus to Wheein’s part vs Solar’s Chorus in the beginning. Wheein’s queendom version was so amazing and angelic🙂
The only thing I thought could have been better was a little more of a pause between I Miss You and Hip. They just go right from one to the other without a break.
i too wish the first chorus goes to wheeinie to make the drama even more contrast (from the angelic head voice from wheein, progresses to strong&desperate plea from solar) also i wished wheein’s part on dingga was not ‘touched’ albeit slightly. i may be wrong but i think dingo might try to fix the noise and some other basic sound correcting but to me it seems like wheein’s voice (and on the back, the other 3) is a bit distorted there. everything else for me is purefectionnn
Oh no, it's finished already...
Thank you for this. I enjoyed this reaction video a lot!
Love your reaction Julia :3 It’s been a long way since your first time reacting to Mamamoo (back in then you had no idea what are their name and called them by the color of their suits xD) and now you remember all their name & start fangirling over them. It’s soooo adorable 😭
Ps: Seeing vocal coaches reacting to Mamamoo then slowly turning into their fan is way too satisfying for me. I mean stan talents stan Mamamoo tho 😍
actually- when hwasa was singing this, she had a cold but managed to execute those notes PERFECTLY
I really hope you do more Mamamoo in the future! I love them so much!!!
Omg yes Hwasa was indeed sick during this recording!
Thank you so much for reacting to this I've been waiting for it for so long
Just came out of my testing now I get to watch this 😭❤️ Thank you for the video!!
I can imagine if Julia reacted to all of the Mamamoo videos she watched, this channel would turn into a moomoo channel. By the way I love how Moonstar plays around with the timing in her raps. So good. Hwa sa does have a tendency to do too much in the way of work load, from one project to another, although RBW does try to get them to rest and not over work them, all of this work they do individually is voluntary,
I love your reactions and the lil music facts you throw in!
"I'm a simple woman. I see mamamoo I click". Yep, standard response )
I see a fangirl of Mamamoo, I click. Julia rocking the orange hair, love hearing your voice.
I'm here because I was very curious of an insight of their technic from a professional, but I'm really happy I discovered your channel because your reactions are wholesome !
(btw when they talk at the beginning of Dingga Dingga I love them, they look like Minions hahaha)
and yeeah Dingga is sooo catchy I'm learning the choreo because I can' t stop dancing on it
for Aya, Solar released a vocal guide she made on her channel, I'm going to listen again after that, everything is so interesting
I'm pretty sure Hyejin was sick that day, with a bit of a flu. They had an interview segment before they went on stage that day and if you're used to listening to her speaking voice, it becomes quite obvious that she was down with something.
Also, yeah, Wheein's famous "KASEUM!!!" x) LOL.
Thanks for this. It definitely made my afternoon better =)
So I'm trying to listen to the review and I keep hearing pop in my head at varoius moments 'I'm back in the radish farm'...
I was waiting for you react to this. Mamamoo is no joke.
There's a reason they're called the vocal Queens of kpop 😊
Your old Mamamoo reactions are some of my favorite videos ever, thank you for making another!! It was so nice to return to your vocal analyses a year later and see that you enjoy Mamamoo as people as well as their vocals... talk about wholesome. I hope you get to see mamamoo's comeback on June 2nd, it looks like we may be getting a ballad title track (and therefore a return to their classic belts and harmonies that you mentioned). Plus a Mamamoo documentary (!!!!). Love from the USA!
Wow your analysis is always on point...thank you for loving and reacting to our beloved mamamoo
julia losing her mind over mamamoo will never get old
''She's very full in her belt'' only you can make this sound as a compliment!
Just when i was about to sleep, so yeah sleep is for the weak. Lesssgo ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Julia.
Yes finally a mamamoo reaction!! Thank u so much for this videoo
Vocal goddesses doing what they do best, I love that they still tease and have fun with each other during the performance. I'd be very curious to see your opinions on another group I hold close to my heart, dreamcatcher. I think there's a lot of stuff you'll love from them. Their songs Scream and Boca are 2 of my favorites as well as Siyeons (main vocalist) cover of speechless and her solo song Paradise.
Thanks for reacting to this video! Your comments are very educational and you are also adorable when fan girling. ♥️
I like many Kpop artist/groups and Mamamoo is by far the most entertaining and talented in my opinion. They interaction with each other, range individual style is second to none and seeing them live is something that will most likely never happen and it is a shame.
I love the fact that she really became a moomoo.
Also can we get reactions of mamamoo being crazy/crackhead/loud asf?
I SWEAR JULIA IS SUCH A MOOMOO OMG HAHAH luv u queen u r da best moomoo💖
GISEUM! (Breasts!) Wheein will never live that one down and we wouldn't have it any other way. 🤣🤣
You didn't pick it up but Hwasa was indeed sick with a cold that day so maybe that's where the phlegmy effect came from. I thought it was interesting to hear her manage her voice du jour and use it creatively rather than fighting it.
I have no way of knowing how much post-production effects were a part of this video but it seems pretty clear there were times when there was more than just reverb going on, such as doubled words and phrases to achieve some of the things we hear on the original recording. One of my favorite moments is during Starry Night when Wheein supplies her own delay effect by repeating Bam ... bam and then turns to Hwasa and laughs at what she did (Hwasa didn't notice).
I didn't notice the clown/crown pronunciation issue and tho the line "You got me jumping like a crazy clown" is a strange image for a breakup song it's no less strange than some of the other things going on in that song and MV. I have lots of theories about Aya but that's not one of them. 😏
Their bff chemistry is so magical it's alchemical. MMM believes they were fated to be best friends regardless of whether they were in MMM together or even whether they were singers, hence songs like Destiny and 4X4ever.
Since you're having fun with their off stage videos have a look at the MMM-TV episode from their rookie days called How Mamamoo Plays in the Car if you haven't seen it yet.
Hi~ as this is one of the high quality vocal review, I know that you write something in the comment^^
It’s sooo cute that you became a moomoo 😁❤️
OH MY GOSHHHHHH A NEW MAMAMOO VIDEO! I love your videos but even more when it’s Mamamoo hahaha oh this is gonna be great.
Yey! Finallyyyy! Been waiting for this 💕💕 thank youuuuu! 🥰🥰
going down the rabbit hole is inevitable with them.. T_T really enjoyed this video!
Really enjoyed the video! Love the analysis that you give from your professional experience which I feel that some other similar channels drop that aspect a bit and just end up fangirling (hard not to) but props to you for providing quality content! Thanks Julia!
Oh so happy you did this! 😃 Curious if you’ve come across any of the videos that pitch Byul’s voice up or Wheein’s down. It’s crazy to me how similar they sound.
30:00 in korean the letter equivalent to an "r" and an "l" sound is the same (ㄹ), so I believe that's the reason they pronounce "clown" as "crown" and it ends up having a double meaning with the crown thingy they make with their hands while singing that. I just think it's a language thing between english and korean.
Actually, Hawasa WAS indeed sick yet she still sang amazingly!
mamamoo are i’m pretty pretty sure the first kpop group i listened to and stanned, it is sad that wheein is leaving the group but good for her, she deserves a better company who’d treat her well. but all this time i’ve seen how awesome and amazing they are they deserve the whole world.
I love them so much they deserve way more attention outside of Korea
Thanks for doing this. Probably already mentioned but please check out Pickachoo cover. Whee Ins adlibs are so well done. Her support for each is the best. New come back in June👍😊😍🤩
Watching you watch Mamamoo is the best way to uplift yourself. You just get so excited and, of course, it's a reaction video, cue mirror neurons, engage viral contagion (in a completely healthy non-COVID kind of way). Fangirl away. You're awesome.
i’m south korean, and not sure if anyone explained this question but at 29:54…
in hangul, the consonant ㄹ in pronunciation is kind of complex for english because it blends differently in a lot of words.. but it essentially comes out as an english "L/R". in speaking english, this is a tricky bit of language-specific pronunciation skill to learn as it would basically be like a new contradicting rule for a letter of the alphabet you grew up with
long story short, a lot of koreans learning English would pronounce it this way and it’s likely not a play on words… more like how an english speaking person might learn french, but not sound french
Finally! Ily thank you for reacting thissss ~~
OH MY GOD YES! I clicked so fast when I saw the notification I am the Tenth Like, also I am so glad that you finally reacted to this they all did such a Phenomenal Job like always! Wheein and Solar's Vocals were just Crazy their voices are so Angelic just Wow, Hwasa's beautiful Jazzy voice was Amazing like always, and Moonbyul's Gorgeous deep voice always gets me and her Rap was on point, just Wow! And you can tell that they were really going at it you can see their Veins in their neck and just again Wow! Also at 28:19 What is Hwasa doing!? 🤣😂
Anyways I can't wait for you to react to more Mamamoo such as more Music Videos, B - Sides, Live Performances, Covers, Dance Practices, Moments, and of course Ships! I can't wait for more Content from you and I hope that you are doing well and staying safe and healthy Julia!
P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I can totally help you out with that if you need it, also I can't wait for you to check out more Red Velvet in the Future and also some other Groups as well!
15:08 I'm always waiting for everyone to react on I Miss You. Daaannng vocals
