Everyone needs to be watching out for XG bc they are paving their way into becoming legends throughout the industry. You need to watch the studio choom and live performances. They are killing it! And that’s how you do a RELAY dance!
That's Maya who was killing those adlibs! She really showed off in this and ate every center moment up, they gotta put more respect on her naaaame, Maya not coming to play!
Are you talking about the harmonies during Jurin and Harvey's part on the second verse that goes, "ah ah ah ah"? That's actually Rachel West, the songwriter of this song and GRL GVNG. She also sang the parts in the chorus, the last words on those lines. If you look at the credits on this song, Rachels name is mentioned. But if you're talking about the 2nd chorus after Jurin and Harvey's ad-libs. Then yes, that was Maya. I wanna hear more of them sing to be honest. I love the cover they did of Stand Up.
@@MarkCalica No. I know who sings which adlibs, and the part where he kept asking "who is doing the adlibs" and rewinding to try and figure it out, and even mentioned it again in the dance practice was where Maya was doing the adlibs behind Juria.
Did you read what I WROTE?! You came under my comment giving all this extra information that nobody asked for, because I had already given him the correct information the first damn time. You're the only one here pressed. Have a good day.
What puzzles me the most about XG is how they don’t want to be called a k-pop group and fans will also ignore the pop sound they have in some of there songs. New Dance and Shooting are clearly pop songs and very K-poppy at that to. This song is more rap focused making it a little weaker then they usually release but very solid concept overall. I swear k-pop fans can be so weird sometimes.
It’s cause a lot of ppl don’t consider them K-pop cause they’re Japanese and sing in English and Koreans are pissed they won’t consider themselves K-pop becaus they promote in Korea (they’re also annoyed they don’t have Korean songs). So everyone is labelling them what they want. I think that’s the main reason they went with x-pop. Personally I think they’re all the pops K-pop, jpop just pop with rnb and hiphop elements, so xpop works.
XG will go down as THE group of this generation for sure. But they might just surpass the greats that came before them . Like Harvey said: “…I’m not trying to be the next so and so, but we catching up on the strong.”
Nice Bathin' Ape camo hat, it gives ''tell me you're an XG fan without telling me you're an XG fan'' vibe lol!! Jurin gives Jihyo energy, guess that's a leader thing. Harvey is the unsung hero of XG; her dancing rapping and singing are just so solid it's unbelievable. And the choreo is by Kyle Tutin; once you know, you can't help but notice the Tutin-isms in there!!
On point analysis and commentary as usual, and I agree with the other comments about XG emerging as amongst the most talented 4th Gen gg. Please check out their Studio Choon version of Puppet Show and their recent headlining Billboard SXSW New Dance performance where Harvey threw in a Michael Jackson homage dance move at the end which was flawless. The talent is mind-blowing with no weak link and glad to see Hinata, Maya, Cocona getting some center time also and Cocona’s vocals on display here and in New Dance and GG.
Thanks for the suggestions! I definitely want to see that Harvey part you mentioned (she doesn’t get enough dance presence credit). Their performance is everything!
The adlibs during the final chorus were Chisa’s during the first half and Juria last. They ate more than usual as a group in this song. I agree this is the perfect example of their identity as a group
It’s like all of their team is on the same page. Styling, choreo, vocal coach. Literally everyone is creating a similar outcome! And thank you I appreciate that! Always love XG
That background harmonies is done by Rachel West. The songwriter for this song and GRL GVNG. She got credited as one of the backing vocalists. She was only doing the ad-libs on the chorus parts where they sing the last words. 22:11 As for the background ad-libs with Juria, that's Maya. The chorus part earlier with Jurin was with Harvey. Their voices really matches with each other members. You can't go wrong
Lol it happens like that! Maya been holding on but Chisa has been knocking on the door and every documentary episode being Hinata closer to the bias spot too😭😭
@infinitelocke Man, no cap. Hinata was the one I thought was my bias. Then Juria had to go get involved. Lol, then someone told me "You can't have two biases! That's not how it works." So, for now, it's Juria. As long as Hinata's not in the room. I LOVE her laugh.
Ericccc, I'm obsessed with you, this song, XG, and everything in between!!! Those adlibs you were asking about was your girl Maya!!! She's soo talented 🫶🏽💛🫶🏽💛
They’re too cold bro. My prediction: XG and New Jeans will spend the better part of this decade slugging it out for global girl group supremacy. Putting my own preferences aside, both groups just have IT. ✅ Musical Identity ✅ infectious/impressive choreo ✅ Members that grab attention/eyeballs (this is not just about looks, it’s about presence and aura) ✅ A company and creative team that’s firing on all cylinders ✅ Hunger (although NJ’s branding is meant to project chill and effortlessness, but I ain’t fooled!) Darkhorse: Le Sserafim. Great performers and they’re HUNGRY, and they’ve also got the HYBE apparatus behind them. So exciting to watch how all this unfolds. Edit: one wrench in my power rankings is BABYMONSTER. They could throw all predictions out the window. 😂
I agree! I think that their are other contenders for sure bc girl groups are definitely dominating the game right now In the 4th gen but XG / NEWJEANS / LESSERAFIM have proven to be heavy hitters globally for sure
@@infinitelocke i think AESPA would be on my list as well, but I’m gonna need to see a bit more stability out of SM. AESPA seems to be getting back on track but SM doesn’t seem to be firing on all cylinders.
Congrats on your promotion and early happy birthday 🎉 You should def watch the performance ver of the MV where they performed the whole thing in that last set. The outfits were amaaaazing ❤
@@chrislambert9903 THIS! I mean I saw her name mentioned more and more ever since GRL GVNG but Puppet Show was where she really made folks sit down and pay attention. I love seeing her get her props
What up fam, good to have you back in these react streets! Thought I commented earlier, but I guess not. I reacted to them around when it dropped, and they killed it. They went DUMB dumb on this one. Also, I'm a Chicago guy myself, and wouldn't mind collaborating on some reactions or something. I'm fairly new to reacting, but not to kpop(got in around 02ish).
Honestly, I’m not typically on TH-cam like that unless I’m reacting or watching other reactors that I know. But I tend to follow and support groups and idols on other media such as Instagram since it is the main one that I frequent in my free time

They killed it. But bro... X-Gene...omfg
Still gotta listen to that!
Everyone needs to be watching out for XG bc they are paving their way into becoming legends throughout the industry.
You need to watch the studio choom and live performances. They are killing it!
And that’s how you do a RELAY dance!
Yeah that snowball is picking up FAST! I’ve been having ppl ask me who they are that don’t even know about the music scene in Asia
@@infinitelocke right! Im soo happy they are getting notice!
That's Maya who was killing those adlibs! She really showed off in this and ate every center moment up, they gotta put more respect on her naaaame, Maya not coming to play!
YOUR NAME>>> (bc Kang Seulgi is the 1 of 1🫶🏾) & yeah Everyone is my bias but Maya (& Chisa) really have been standing out!

Yep, Jurin is a very great performer, she have caught my eye since Tippy Toes n become my bias since then
Actually it was maya in the background during the second chorus she ate
BIAS ATEEEEE
XG will go down as THE group of this generation for sure. But they might just surpass the greats that came before them . Like Harvey said: “…I’m not trying to be the next so and so, but we catching up on the strong.”
"Catching up on them Close"
Please react to XG’s latest VOX5 and Tape-3A and Tape-3b 🙏🏼 you won’t regret it.
welcome back! you definitely had one of the best reactions to this mv 😂👏🏼 thanks for your support 🤍
XG is one of those GIRLGROUPS out there who can do any choreos and doing it flawlessly..They are the 7 assassins

The adlibs during the final chorus were Chisa’s during the first half and Juria last. They ate more than usual as a group in this song. I agree this is the perfect example of their identity as a group
This, left right, shooting star, tippy toes are like their core identity imo.
I really appreciated you hitting on the style influences at the beginning of the dance practice.
Great stuff, as always, from both you and XG!
It’s like all of their team is on the same page. Styling, choreo, vocal coach. Literally everyone is creating a similar outcome! And thank you I appreciate that! Always love XG
Sienna Lalau does all their choreography. She was in the New Dance video she’s a killer as well.

It was Hinata. ❤ Juria finally told me that she was my bias this comeback. 😅

❤❤❤ they do not miss. Respect the talent and the work ethic. They are literally unreal. Props on the promotion!
Big respect! Can’t wait to post the rest of my reactions to the DOC!
Juria is the one that hit that note at the very end🥰
She continues to impress and wow me!

Love your sheer enthusiasm reacting to XG. I know you’ve been rockin & rooting for them from the get go early XG & I’ve been right there with ya 🐺
They are definitely one of the groups that I feel like I’ve connected to since their debut and really watched them grow!! I’m invested!
@@infinitelocke it shows and same! The connection was instant, no other group has had such an impact on me
Congrats on your promotion and early happy birthday 🎉 You should def watch the performance ver of the MV where they performed the whole thing in that last set. The outfits were amaaaazing ❤
That was Maya in the background. You can see it better in the video choom performance.
my bias ate that!
@@infinitelockeFeels like us that have a Maya Bias was in some secret club that everyone else is just now finding out about.
@@chrislambert9903 THIS! I mean I saw her name mentioned more and more ever since GRL GVNG but Puppet Show was where she really made folks sit down and pay attention. I love seeing her get her props

That’s a must!!
