The fact that Ruka's main skill is Dancing (probably Main Dancer position) and only learn to rap when she trained in YG. It takes a huge amount of courage to show your self written rap performance when you know damn well you are a great dancer.
@@shinobione2575huh? She's not technically a rapper, she just became a rapper when she trained in YGE, but overall she's still good considering she's a Japanese and rapping in korean language is still a big achievement, and the fact that she can even write her own rap lyrics says it all.
Bias should be chosen off personality and how much you vibe with someone. Picking based off skill is lame and just makes it seem like that's the only thing you like about said bias

“Breath control” boy she’s probably 12-13 in that performance. NO ONE BUT YOU TALKING ABOUT BREATH CONTROL BECAUSE THERE’S NO PROBLEM WITH HER BREATH CONTROL
Exactly why im waiting for their debut because I feel like they can do much more and they still have miles to go since this is predebut and they’re very young too
Ruka embodies the OG YG style of performance and rapping. I think that’s why YGE chose to use this performance of Ruka. She really has the stage presence and attitude of CL X GD when doing these “IN YOUR FACE” kind of songs. While she has the abilities and talent to do that, there is totally more to her than that. To call her “least impressive” is quite harsh… I get that it is your opinions and preferences as well this is your first impression. But there’s a reason why she was saved for last and that’s because she best represent YG in the group. Anyways, as other comments said.. some of these videos were for 2 years ago and as you can tell were monthly evaluations. They all have improved since then and will get better with more experience.
@@maddiesiegmund5623 umm did I say she’s the next CL or GD?? I said she has that OG YG vibe that reminds of CL and GD. I AM AWARE that she is still young and will improve as she gets older and have more experience. However, I’m still going to say that out of the members it is true that she does embody the OG YG style and confidence. Of course she’s going to be HERSELF and make her own name in the industry. All 3 rappers in BABY MONSTER have their own charm and uniqueness. Ahyeon has that sassy attitude with good vocals, Asa is the spitfire rapper with that chill vibes, and Ruka is very natural on stage and has a unique rap flow with good cadence.
@@shinobione2575 everybody has their preferences and opinions. There’s other reactors who prefer Ahyeon’s rap compared to both Asa and Ruka. I like Ruka’s cadence and stage presence that is very OG YG, but I think Asa is the spitfire rapper, but she has such a cool demeanor. Ahyeon has the sass and best pronunciation when she raps because she learns/picks up languages fast. So she sounds more clear and fluent than Ruka and Asa. They all have their different charms and because I support all of them.. I don’t compare them or say who’s better like it’s a competition.
tbh as much as I love watching their reactions I have noticed that they always have these critics of YG artists at first view/reactions , especially the one in the background whom they called as 1080p ..I never heard her saying it's good even on Blackpink's song.
Well to be honest She seems to be like rosé She has the biggest support among them (along with chiquita) but she has the weakest breath control And pharita is the weakest (support range) but her breath control is (AT LEAST FOR ME) one of the best among all kpop idols
Do you realize how young these girls were at this time? Find 7 girls their age, in the USA, who have this talent AT THEIR AGE. The dancing and choreography also. They're about to dominate.
I don't think so...that's why I really love artists from Asia most of them Korea, Japan and Thai, they are freaking talented and I'm Glad that this movement is being recognized 👏
You're delusional if you think that other countries don't have this talent. Now if we want to talk about if they have enough money to invest in talent, that's another story... Grow up.
You are delusional bro ...in other countries we find Better talent than this at age of less than 10 years old ....in India ...we have shows ..for younger kids ...all of them are more talented than all of them and even some older k pop idol actually most of them
Not sure how you think Ruka didn’t show her personality? She’s obviously a hip-hop hype girl and she showed three different kinds of flow. It may not have been the best but she def showed what she enjoys. Just not understanding how you mentioned some didn’t show stage presence and then you completely dismiss Ruka’s obvious natural ability and confidence. 🤷🏽♂️ Still enjoyed your reactions and opinions. 👍🏼
I kinda feel that they're being so critical about these kids who didn't even debut yet. I understand that they should always be honest, but I think it's too much to even compare their styles and label them as the least impressive when I think they're showing off their variety of flows and presence. I heard worse, even from some idols who debuted and didn't even sing live for the life of them. They should at least be objective in their criticisms. Not like, I don't like the rendition, I don't like the method something. This channel is way too "cool" for me.
Wow really. I don't think you 2 gave Haram enough credit just because it's a popular song. She made the song her own. Her take on the song was amazing and that is how an artist/singer should be, and should do. Haram owned it. The way she sung it is a different stylistic way of singing that represents her. Similar to Billie Eilish style, but Haram's tone is unique. She has her own little flare and tang. The way she sang each syllables fits the mood of the song so well with just the piano. The emotions....everything was there, so I don't know what you guys were on cause...…..🙄
I AGREE. i honestly dont know the song, when i heard haram i just love it and made me curious to the song. She sang it beautifully in her own unique way, these guys i cant believe it
I don't necessarly disagree with some of the comments you made about Ruka's performance but I think the comparison with Asa is a bit harsh. Asa did a cover of Joyner Lucas remix of Look Alive, it was dope but it really was a cover when Ruka's performance was more personnal in the interpretation as she used her flow and even her lyrics in some parts. After watching her introduction video, I don't feel like it's really the type of song that fits her style of rap (her own korean rap on Peaches instrumental would have been a better choice for me but it's less "in your face") but she probably wanted to showcase something different. Also, some of their performances are old as it's monthly evaluation footage. The dance performance was confirmed to be 2 years old (reason why Thai members are missing) and most of the performances are between one year and 6 months old. Loved the reaction anyway !
As a Joyner Lucas fan, I am disappointed in myself… I knew this sounded familiar. Especially with the Diddy bars. Damnit. SMH. 😂😂😂. But yeah these were just our gut reactions. I’m sure we will find learn more about Ruka.
Actually Some of the lyrics were change. Even if it wasn't ASAs original rap. She took it home. Ruka was good but I agree with the guys ASA ate this and took at hers. ASA did an outstanding performance and confidence was all there.
@@AmbitiousAce616 Yeah and I share the same feeling as you guys, I also prefered Asa's performance over Ruka but knowing the original, it helped me reduce a bit the gap I felt between the two performances (and having Ruka introduction right after, I saw that she has more to offer than this performance)
@@hajzhichien7049 as I said, I also prefered Asa's performance but she did Joyner Lucas. Ruka was a bit more personal and I thought it was worth mentionning that
Asa's delivery in english was better than Ruka, tahts a fact, cover or not. Ruka's performance is a bit weak because of the first beat, its just hard to make flows in that beat. The Gwola one was much better. Asa, Ruka and Haram's performance was not evaluation but performance to pre debut, but we know that the debut was postponed at least 1 year, such as that the introduction videos dosent contain performances of evaluations of 2022. Oh, Both Asa and Ruka are my Bias in Baemon.
@@snackyxchan uhm? but they ARE talented 🥲 & stop trying to speak for other people, you don't know me or them. i didn't like them bcz bp told me to 💀 yall are weird fr
@@snackyxchan can we say same thing for hybe gg then???. And the fact that you watching babymonster videos and commenting about them shows you are already obsessed with them. Typical toxic army behaviour.
Sorry to disagree on this, based on their ages to gave a such of performances ie: dance, sing , rap is superb.. they would be something big in future. Believe in progression. No fair to compare them to the already build up and successful artist. Compare apples to apples.
@@jay-7379you don’t have to act like you’re a “producer or something” to have an opinion about their performances if you like them cool if you didn’t like them also cool.
You guys need to watch the last evaluation of babymonster for real😂 these performances were their monthly evaluation from around a year ago, and for Haram she is literally mainvocal material now 🤪
not many other idols can process singing techniques like that, like they really are monsters and their group has a very different sound tone and has its own characteristics.
4:50 yes, thank u. Haram is all about that. 20:50 lol I was the most impressed with Pharita. It's the attitude, she sang powerfully. 24:11 Asa's more about RAP, Ruka's more about stage presence and hip hop, also Ruka is the main dancer of the group
Rora's issue is not breath control but her enunciations to the words. It seems like she's trying to create a unique style by enunciating the words lazily. I felt iffy about it too. Regardless, her voice is solid.
Well that's what I thought too and kinda a little bit annoying to hear cursive style of voice tbh, but nevertheless I really love the RnB vibe she brought there, that's a very sexy voice to me. She just need to give more pronunciation to her vocal and with that, she will be the true monster as well.
@@kristangrande8338 Not just trainees, but I also heard that from some pop or indie singers, I forgot the names but I remember that I have ever heard this technique before. If it's good or not, that depends on how they place that cursive tone at some parts of song as if it suits the aesthetics or the atmosphere that they try to present in the song.
@@gurunhitam3414 well yeah, it all started from indie artists. but what I mean is it's not trendy in kpop but from what we've seen, it seems like yg trainees adapted the technique
Ruka actually wrote her lyrics you can watch it in introducing video, the second half is her own writing, i think the reason YG pick that performance is to show her stage presentation Meanwhile asa is just cover, she just changes some parts, theres very big possibility theres more of her since her introduction video is still not out yet, the differences is YG want to show her flow
@@Wahwahhhh I'm concerned about asa , she had a solo stan fandom even before debut. The chances for a 16 y.o to be a songwriter are so low compared to Ruka.
@@imsugarcoated do u even understand what you are saying. Whatever, my point is that she can obviously write that much whom you are calling songwriter lol and can rap better too you have seen it so live and let live 🙂
I watched all these performances as they came out and it took a little time to accept it but Asa standing out so much made it that much harder for me to enjoy the last 3 because they just weren’t her and I felt judgy and stupid for thinking that way but now I realize that that’s okay. She has something special and different and that really should be the standard for what is the new girl group from a huge company. Great, honest video
These are monthly evaluations that the trainees performed that are several years old mostly, so your reactions aren't surprising but you do have to account for their age (which range from 13 to 16 being the majority). I don't know how many 15/16 yr olds that you all are around, but I personally thought each one showed some talent and why YG picked them.
I agree with some of the points but also think ya'll were pretty harsh for literal teenagers, and this was during their monthly evaluations, so who knows the growth they've had since.
same, what other people dont understand is that Pharita consistently carries her high tone without exerting her volume nor doing falsetto and it is one of the hardest things to pull off. her volume is consistent from her low registers to her high notes. she can pull off high notes without screaming is what i am trying to say.
Your not alone in that reaction for ASA i mean ohh my gadd that was reallyy really good I really love her rap 😻😭 actually she really reminds me of suga i don't know why but she really reminds of him🥰☘️💜✨
She is 17 you realise that right the second oldest and still have the least developed vocals out of all ...harama nd rora are so much younger than her m..but still have out of the world vocals ....with actual support
@@garimasuhani7227 what i meant is her visuals are very soft but her vocals are very distinct. Plz stop comparing members, everyone has a different color to themselves
i like asa more, but about ruka tbh it's just a matter of taste. i think they (YGE) just want to bring something more "YG"-ish in the end of the live perf series. That's gonna remind us how YGE artists perform in live
@@kristangrande8338 well I really like rukas reinterpretation of peaches by Justin beiber because it was a new take on it and she wrote her lyrics for it. Plus she only just started to rap once she got to yg. Her style isn't really suited for hype songs, I think she would be better on more chill beats
@@kristangrande8338 that's not stiff bro, diff song, diff rapper, diff taste. It'll appear diff for anyone. That's the clever way of YG. If YG want, they will appear same for eachother, but that's not the purpose of the vid
I mean you already hear the song for 999999999x times of course you don't like the way she sang it. Me and other people who don't know this song at all, when I first listen to her cover, it really so goood
Baby monster just dropped their latest pre debut original song, Dream, with all 7. 40 million views in 2 weeks. Number 1 trending on Billboard and hot trending TH-cam for a week at 12.
@@HipHopLucky7 eeerrr hello, they have not yet debut. So far only a pre debut song and lots of covers. Radio do not do play cover songs eh. Anyway 400 million plus views on all their episodes so far. Proves how great the girls are.
@@HipHopLucky7 Correction. YG has only around 8 million subscribers. Blackpink has 88 million subscribers and it is going to take a lot of hard work, talent and skills to even shift Blinks to support another new group.
I think the problem with Ruka's live performance is the song choice. I went to listen to the original version after and I didnt like it either 😭 It seems like the company chose to post that video mostly because she has the typical 'YG style' and has one of the strongest stage presence in the group so they wanted to showcase her charisma instead of a more laid-back performance which focuses more on her rap skills like Asa. Also I think she really doesn't fit english rap like Asa does, after hearing her other rap covers in her introduction video Ruka shines the most in korean raps! I'm really looking forward to how much the group will improve with time, after all they're still super young !!
I was legitimately happy to find someone not just straight gassing up Bemon because they were the next big thing. Gonna check out your reactions to their M/Vs now. Thanks for keeping it 💯. (I love them, but just hearing straight "omg so good omg" all the time is bad for my brain lmao)
Ruka’s forte is dance her English needs some practice but when she raps in Korean thooo 💯I heard her rap in her vid her Korean sounds slick 🔥she writes her lyrics also but the girl is a dancing machine 💯…Asa wrote her parts as well that girl is definitely a problem 🔥🔥🔥 btw these vids are from two years ago …they would have improved wayyy more by now lol
Every each of their performance actually are not focus of how good the song direction is, it's actually focus on how well their vocal direction capable of on that genre of the song, it's focus on the technique that can do to the specific genre of the song that they decide to performs personally and how well they can do after been trained for many years. Like me, i don't like some of their song choices because i don't like the song, but the way every single one of them perform it with their vocal technique is very impressive for me at such a young age. Edited: Ruka are the only one who wrote her own lyrics for her performance.🥰
You are completely wrong this auditions was filmed a year ago is this was filmed two years ago then they will be older what they are now but if you look at there your birth then you would know that they’re still the same age so yeah thank you stop
@@kskkwkkekee3027 im sorry i can't understand a word you say. If u say this was recorder 2 years ago, you are the one who get this wrong. It was last year.
@@imsugarcoated She actually has a wide range and very good breath control, especially how her high tone notes are very effortless for her. Stop lying 💀
I can’t lie you can’t really compare Ruka and ASA rapping because they have different rap styles. It’s like comparing ballet to street dance. I get you can have your preference but I think it’s unfair to compare them and say it was least impressive.
I feel like all the girls can do much more than was shown in these videos especially since they were filmed 2 years ago and I feel like ruka especially can do so much more so I’m waiting for their debut
i agree w y’all. ruka had my least favourite performance yet but i didn’t dislike it, i just liked the other ones much more. but in the video „Introduction to Ruka“ I kinda liked her rapping more because she had more flow. and for haram I actually liked the way she sung it a lot. (imo)
The choice of song also matters, Can't judge completely with these videos. I think ruka would have killed the joyne Lucas rap too. Haram performance was to show her vocal powers, doesn't have to be exactly like original. This is just a introduction anyway.
Bruh they dissed Haram's singing style. That's not cool at all. Guess they don't know anything about singing. They only like rap, and that is I guess their forte.
for a 13-20 yrs old i say they are good and they are still growing so i'm excited to see them grow...these are for their monthly evaluations sort of monthly audition so as not to be cut off. The songs they covered are obviously not designed to copy per se the original, its made to suit their voices and individual style
Ruka my lovely, meski kamu diremehkan "mereka" kita yakin kamu pasti akan terbang lebih tinggi, YG punya mata elang yang ga semua orang punya. Waiting for babymonster❤
Even without all the explanation that others have, but just on the first watch of their performance video I like Ruka's perf than Asa. Simply because Ruka was really performing and taking over the stage while Asa was showcasing her rap skills.
@@ignatiuschua5268Dude stop comparing them. ASA is 16 while Ruka is 20(soon 21), ASA will be more better as time goes, they are very young so stop comparing like that .
@@nanditaray3148 What is wrong with comparing? They are in the same group and YG will need to identify who the main rapper is. And can't we even opine on who we like and substantiate it. Age is also such a crap reason. What happens in future is what it is. No one knows yet. More importantly, the performance is here and now. Look at vocals. The one I like most is Chiquita. She tells a story to my soul. She was 13 then and 14 now. Age doesn't matter.
Finally i'm not the only one. RUKA DOESN'T HAVE A GOOD RAP TONE. Yeah she can write lyrics, but thats it. She's def a top tier dancer though. ASA should definitely be the MAIN RAPPER of the group.
When it comes to first song I agree, that's a wrong song that doesn't suit her much, but I love the second one since it's very way more pleasurable for me to hear from Ruka and she's comfortable there.
Ruka definitely has a good tone though, as for me it's a matter of song choice that gives us the ick for not liking it. I've watched her introduction video and so far they gave us some of her rap cover and it was all good even though they've just shown us a little.
I love them all and I've been waiting for them but my no.1 bias is ASA! Second RUKA n AHYEON. Like I said I LOVE THEM ALL but Asa's rap delivery is somenting else...daamn and you guys judging a lil bit too harsh cuz some of those videos are 1 or 2 years old. Ya'll need to check more into every member cuz YG upload new videos of them every week so don't judge book by it's cover.
Although I think Ruka will be my bias in the group because of her dancing skills, I do agree with you, I think YG choose the wrong song for her introduction. But then also I do appreciate that her second rap was self written and loved her stage presence.
They just didn’t like it. It’s a song that is very meaningful to them (especially in the American black community it’s one of our anthems). They’re married to the original so it’s not a big deal.
First time for you because most people avoid giving bad reviews due to crazy YG stans ganging up on you for giving an opinion. Just because you don't hear any negative reviews online doesn't mean 100% of human population has to like this group, cmon...
Asa did that "Asa syndrome" to everyone❤👑🔥
They whole mood change when they saw Asa, they were enjoying it
asa killed it

The fact that Ruka's main skill is Dancing (probably Main Dancer position) and only learn to rap when she trained in YG. It takes a huge amount of courage to show your self written rap performance when you know damn well you are a great dancer.

As a Joyner Lucas fan, I am disappointed in myself… I knew this sounded familiar. Especially with the Diddy bars. Damnit. SMH. 😂😂😂. But yeah these were just our gut reactions. I’m sure we will find learn more about Ruka.
Actually Some of the lyrics were change. Even if it wasn't ASAs original rap. She took it home. Ruka was good but I agree with the guys ASA ate this and took at hers. ASA did an outstanding performance and confidence was all there.
@@AmbitiousAce616 Yeah and I share the same feeling as you guys, I also prefered Asa's performance over Ruka but knowing the original, it helped me reduce a bit the gap I felt between the two performances (and having Ruka introduction right after, I saw that she has more to offer than this performance)
@@hajzhichien7049 as I said, I also prefered Asa's performance but she did Joyner Lucas. Ruka was a bit more personal and I thought it was worth mentionning that
Asa's delivery in english was better than Ruka, tahts a fact, cover or not. Ruka's performance is a bit weak because of the first beat, its just hard to make flows in that beat. The Gwola one was much better.
Asa, Ruka and Haram's performance was not evaluation but performance to pre debut, but we know that the debut was postponed at least 1 year, such as that the introduction videos dosent contain performances of evaluations of 2022.
Oh, Both Asa and Ruka are my Bias in Baemon.
Omg Twice fans talking about rap when their favs are probably the worst rap line in kpop
Literally twice’s rap lines : Wicky wicky this is an emergency 🤪

Finally! I was really looking forward to your reaction to Babymonster! Thanks. These girls are insanely talented.
im a blink & i love them! they are so talented ❤️
50% of fans will be blinks and teumes.
@@movieedits1017 they only stan because same label plus they are influence by BP not for the talent I feel
That's normal

@@snackyxchan can we say same thing for hybe gg then???.
And the fact that you watching babymonster videos and commenting about them shows you are already obsessed with them.
Typical toxic army behaviour.
Sorry to disagree on this, based on their ages to gave a such of performances ie: dance, sing , rap is superb.. they would be something big in future. Believe in progression. No fair to compare them to the already build up and successful artist. Compare apples to apples.
i personally have no critiques, they all slayed to me lol
if you have no critiques then you weren't really watching
@@naomin.5315 Nah, not everyone who watches them wants to critique them. Most people watch them out of curiosity and then enjoy their performances
@@naomin.5315 Some people watch just to enjoy them and not to nitpick at them like if they’re a producer or something.
@@jay-7379you don’t have to act like you’re a “producer or something” to have an opinion about their performances if you like them cool if you didn’t like them also cool.
@@imogenmoonlight trueeee
You guys need to watch the last evaluation of babymonster for real😂 these performances were their monthly evaluation from around a year ago, and for Haram she is literally mainvocal material now 🤪
not many other idols can process singing techniques like that, like they really are monsters and their group has a very different sound tone and has its own characteristics.
Asa is really a problem for the kpop girl Rappers out there watch out
4:50 yes, thank u. Haram is all about that.
20:50 lol I was the most impressed with Pharita. It's the attitude, she sang powerfully.
24:11 Asa's more about RAP, Ruka's more about stage presence and hip hop, also Ruka is the main dancer of the group
Asa was perfect
Rora's issue is not breath control but her enunciations to the words. It seems like she's trying to create a unique style by enunciating the words lazily. I felt iffy about it too. Regardless, her voice is solid.
Fair. I can totally agree with that. I did like her voice though.
Well that's what I thought too and kinda a little bit annoying to hear cursive style of voice tbh, but nevertheless I really love the RnB vibe she brought there, that's a very sexy voice to me. She just need to give more pronunciation to her vocal and with that, she will be the true monster as well.
@@gurunhitam3414 seems like it's a trend among the girl trainees in yg as you could hear haram chiquita and pharita do the same technique,
@@kristangrande8338 Not just trainees, but I also heard that from some pop or indie singers, I forgot the names but I remember that I have ever heard this technique before. If it's good or not, that depends on how they place that cursive tone at some parts of song as if it suits the aesthetics or the atmosphere that they try to present in the song.
@@gurunhitam3414 well yeah, it all started from indie artists. but what I mean is it's not trendy in kpop but from what we've seen, it seems like yg trainees adapted the technique
OH? HAHAHA
tell me you are hating YG without telling me you are hating YG :
Ikrrrr
Ikr
Ruka actually wrote her lyrics you can watch it in introducing video, the second half is her own writing, i think the reason YG pick that performance is to show her stage presentation
Meanwhile asa is just cover, she just changes some parts, theres very big possibility theres more of her since her introduction video is still not out yet, the differences is YG want to show her flow
Now think what if asa also start writing lyrics 😏
@@Wahwahhhh I'm concerned about asa , she had a solo stan fandom even before debut.
The chances for a 16 y.o to be a songwriter are so low compared to Ruka.
@@Wahwahhhh well the idol-rapping is more difficult than rap-writing + I didn't say impossible, I said low chances
@@imsugarcoated do u even understand what you are saying. Whatever, my point is that she can obviously write that much whom you are calling songwriter lol and can rap better too you have seen it so live and let live 🙂
@@Wahwahhhh bro what a toxic you are
I can't Imagine that the fandom is Split from now
I watched all these performances as they came out and it took a little time to accept it but Asa standing out so much made it that much harder for me to enjoy the last 3 because they just weren’t her and I felt judgy and stupid for thinking that way but now I realize that that’s okay. She has something special and different and that really should be the standard for what is the new girl group from a huge company.
Great, honest video
yeah because you like rap-type (talking) more, that's why tho.
I actually like this cover of Let Me Love You much more than the original one. It's an interesting interpretation, and it suits the lyrics better.
Yes! I agree
These are monthly evaluations that the trainees performed that are several years old mostly, so your reactions aren't surprising but you do have to account for their age (which range from 13 to 16 being the majority). I don't know how many 15/16 yr olds that you all are around, but I personally thought each one showed some talent and why YG picked them.
I agree with some of the points but also think ya'll were pretty harsh for literal teenagers, and this was during their monthly evaluations, so who knows the growth they've had since.
Honestly pharita gave me chills with her vocals, her voice was so clear.
Pharita is emotional...fans need to care for her
same, what other people dont understand is that Pharita consistently carries her high tone without exerting her volume nor doing falsetto and it is one of the hardest things to pull off. her volume is consistent from her low registers to her high notes. she can pull off high notes without screaming is what i am trying to say.
Your not alone in that reaction for ASA i mean ohh my gadd that was reallyy really good I really love her rap 😻😭 actually she really reminds me of suga i don't know why but she really reminds of him🥰☘️💜✨
Not twice stans talking about vocals lol
Lol
fr like TWICE has godly vocals or sumn
HAHHAHAHAAHAHHAA
Asa is like the more grit and aggressive version of Chaeyoung, and i like it.
???
Asa is my girl definitely. She's an ace, allrounder.
For me Chikita, Asa and Pharita hit it off..... especially Pharita, i didn't see it coming from someone who looks so naive😊
She is 17 you realise that right the second oldest and still have the least developed vocals out of all ...harama nd rora are so much younger than her m..but still have out of the world vocals ....with actual support
@@garimasuhani7227 what i meant is her visuals are very soft but her vocals are very distinct. Plz stop comparing members, everyone has a different color to themselves
i like asa more, but about ruka tbh it's just a matter of taste. i think they (YGE) just want to bring something more "YG"-ish in the end of the live perf series. That's gonna remind us how YGE artists perform in live
I prefer Asa too.
yeah Asa has the natural rapper vibe. Ruka doesnt. She sounds like a manufactured yg rapper. She stiff with her flow.
@@kristangrande8338 well I really like rukas reinterpretation of peaches by Justin beiber because it was a new take on it and she wrote her lyrics for it. Plus she only just started to rap once she got to yg. Her style isn't really suited for hype songs, I think she would be better on more chill beats
@@kristangrande8338 that's not stiff bro, diff song, diff rapper, diff taste. It'll appear diff for anyone. That's the clever way of YG. If YG want, they will appear same for eachother, but that's not the purpose of the vid
@@neokpop3271 she is stiff. if you like stiff flows, just say that
Remember theyre still young, still got many rooms to improve
I mean you already hear the song for 999999999x times of course you don't like the way she sang it.
Me and other people who don't know this song at all, when I first listen to her cover, it really so goood
Love how every reactor dies when they see Asa spitting bars
please not them trying to be vocal coaches, they hating on literal kids just cos they're from yg..disgusting
LMMFAO that's what you got from that???
Baby monster just dropped their latest pre debut original song, Dream, with all 7. 40 million views in 2 weeks. Number 1 trending on Billboard and hot trending TH-cam for a week at 12.

@@getgreatstuff88getgreatstu891 million actually on bp channel
Don't worry the reaction to ASA your not alone...
I think the problem with Ruka's live performance is the song choice. I went to listen to the original version after and I didnt like it either 😭 It seems like the company chose to post that video mostly because she has the typical 'YG style' and has one of the strongest stage presence in the group so they wanted to showcase her charisma instead of a more laid-back performance which focuses more on her rap skills like Asa. Also I think she really doesn't fit english rap like Asa does, after hearing her other rap covers in her introduction video Ruka shines the most in korean raps! I'm really looking forward to how much the group will improve with time, after all they're still super young !!
I was legitimately happy to find someone not just straight gassing up Bemon because they were the next big thing. Gonna check out your reactions to their M/Vs now. Thanks for keeping it 💯.
(I love them, but just hearing straight "omg so good omg" all the time is bad for my brain lmao)
This girls slayed and this happen few years ago. Imagine how they sound now after all the vocal training and pronunciation.
Ruka’s forte is dance her English needs some practice but when she raps in Korean thooo 💯I heard her rap in her vid her Korean sounds slick 🔥she writes her lyrics also but the girl is a dancing machine 💯…Asa wrote her parts as well that girl is definitely a problem 🔥🔥🔥 btw these vids are from two years ago …they would have improved wayyy more by now lol
It's just last year
asa’s performance is a cover but she change some parts of it from the original
Every each of their performance actually are not focus of how good the song direction is, it's actually focus on how well their vocal direction capable of on that genre of the song, it's focus on the technique that can do to the specific genre of the song that they decide to performs personally and how well they can do after been trained for many years. Like me, i don't like some of their song choices because i don't like the song, but the way every single one of them perform it with their vocal technique is very impressive for me at such a young age.
Edited: Ruka are the only one who wrote her own lyrics for her performance.🥰
You are completely wrong this auditions was filmed a year ago is this was filmed two years ago then they will be older what they are now but if you look at there your birth then you would know that they’re still the same age so yeah thank you stop
@@kskkwkkekee3027 im sorry i can't understand a word you say. If u say this was recorder 2 years ago, you are the one who get this wrong. It was last year.
@@kskkwkkekee3027 BTw i don't think i ever mention when their performances video was recorded so i assume you reply to the wrong person.
Pharita has the best range of all of them. She can hit really high notes
No
She is the weakest though
Not my taste
what weakest 😭 she's hitting the high notes effortlessly in their introduction vid, are u guys deaf
@@imsugarcoated She actually has a wide range and very good breath control, especially how her high tone notes are very effortless for her. Stop lying 💀
I can’t lie you can’t really compare Ruka and ASA rapping because they have different rap styles. It’s like comparing ballet to street dance. I get you can have your preference but I think it’s unfair to compare them and say it was least impressive.
I love Asa ♥
I feel like all the girls can do much more than was shown in these videos especially since they were filmed 2 years ago and I feel like ruka especially can do so much more so I’m waiting for their debut
Came back to say I was right they definitely can do so much more and I wish I could see your reactions to their last evaluation episodes
i agree w y’all. ruka had my least favourite performance yet but i didn’t dislike it, i just liked the other ones much more. but in the video „Introduction to Ruka“ I kinda liked her rapping more because she had more flow.
and for haram I actually liked the way she sung it a lot. (imo)
same i think they chose the wrong song bcz the lyrics weren’t it, i liked her raps in her introduction far more better
same i like how haram's delivery, also the reactors was pertaining about vibrato, vibrato is a technique to volume out your voice
Can't agree more
Thank you for the reaction. Everyone truely has their own taste of music which I found out we don't have the same.
Bruh critique them like theyre 20+ yo and debut 7 years ago
The choice of song also matters,
Can't judge completely with these videos. I think ruka would have killed the joyne Lucas rap too.
Haram performance was to show her vocal powers, doesn't have to be exactly like original.
This is just a introduction anyway.
exactly like goal of these videos are to show their vocals. they dont have to sing the song as the original one. its not this videos are about.
@@beraty.6899 They judging it like music videos
Bruh they dissed Haram's singing style. That's not cool at all. Guess they don't know anything about singing. They only like rap, and that is I guess their forte.
Glad you're finally checking Out the BabyMonster members live stage songs because everyone has the most beautiful voices and visuals

لماذا الذين بتعليقات اغبياء للغاية هو لا يقصد مرتين كيبوب!!!
for a 13-20 yrs old i say they are good and they are still growing so i'm excited to see them grow...these are for their monthly evaluations sort of monthly audition so as not to be cut off. The songs they covered are obviously not designed to copy per se the original, its made to suit their voices and individual style
They should have rated pharita better bro she did really good her voice is amazing she literally gave me goosebumps her voice is smooth and amazing 💀
Y’all straight up and I love it! No bullshit or trying to keep everybody happy 😂 but for real tho, my boy sleeping on RORA 🥵
Love this though ❤️
Ruka my lovely, meski kamu diremehkan "mereka" kita yakin kamu pasti akan terbang lebih tinggi, YG punya mata elang yang ga semua orang punya. Waiting for babymonster❤
Ruka juga multitalent. Nggak ada alasan untuk mengatakan dia ataupun member lain tidak menarik. Mereka memiliki keunikan bakatnya masing2.
Asa is a monster in rap!!!! 🔥
Pharita voice OMG!!!!
its their monthly evaluation footage..
It’s their opinion…
if yg could critique the members, why cant they???
@@obvv7714 did i say something wrong ?
@@kristangrande8338 who said they can’t ?
@@ApriLicious_roze then why be defensive😂
Even without all the explanation that others have, but just on the first watch of their performance video I like Ruka's perf than Asa. Simply because Ruka was really performing and taking over the stage while Asa was showcasing her rap skills.
Totally agree. Ruka was like a professional rap performer hyping up the crowd whereas Asa was just delivering rap lines (although super well done).
Exactly, I feel nothing from Asa performance
@@ignatiuschua5268Dude stop comparing them. ASA is 16 while Ruka is 20(soon 21), ASA will be more better as time goes, they are very young so stop comparing like that .
But Ruka's rap skills didn't convince me.
I'm here all for the rap. I prefer Jennie's rap over Lisa.
@@nanditaray3148 What is wrong with comparing? They are in the same group and YG will need to identify who the main rapper is.
And can't we even opine on who we like and substantiate it.
Age is also such a crap reason. What happens in future is what it is. No one knows yet. More importantly, the performance is here and now.
Look at vocals. The one I like most is Chiquita. She tells a story to my soul. She was 13 then and 14 now. Age doesn't matter.
Haram likes to change it up to flex her vocals. Incredible talent. Love her rendition of a old classic.
I love Ruka💕
Finally i'm not the only one.
RUKA DOESN'T HAVE A GOOD RAP TONE. Yeah she can write lyrics, but thats it. She's def a top tier dancer though.
ASA should definitely be the MAIN RAPPER of the group.
When it comes to first song I agree, that's a wrong song that doesn't suit her much, but I love the second one since it's very way more pleasurable for me to hear from Ruka and she's comfortable there.
Ruka definitely has a good tone though, as for me it's a matter of song choice that gives us the ick for not liking it. I've watched her introduction video and so far they gave us some of her rap cover and it was all good even though they've just shown us a little.
dont think they told us who is the main or lead rapper yet tho... hmm let's see we'll nvr know
Asa is my bias. Also Haram, Chiquita, and Pharita
I love them all and I've been waiting for them but my no.1 bias is ASA! Second RUKA n AHYEON. Like I said I LOVE THEM ALL but Asa's rap delivery is somenting else...daamn and you guys judging a lil bit too harsh cuz some of those videos are 1 or 2 years old. Ya'll need to check more into every member cuz YG upload new videos of them every week so don't judge book by it's cover.
ASA BLOWN MY MIND TOOOOOOO! Shes amazingggggg 🔥
Although I think Ruka will be my bias in the group because of her dancing skills, I do agree with you, I think YG choose the wrong song for her introduction. But then also I do appreciate that her second rap was self written and loved her stage presence.
Asa is lit 🔥🔥🔥
They are rookies, so they are still in the process of getting better
you didn't like haram's cover? i respect everyone's opinions except this😭😭
I was legit cringing cuz they don’t know nothin abt vocals but was being so critical abt it lol
They were kinda harsh with their comments
@@ICYHope ikr they were judging like a vocal coach
They just didn’t like it. It’s a song that is very meaningful to them (especially in the American black community it’s one of our anthems). They’re married to the original so it’s not a big deal.
@@K82849 however she did a good job 💯
it's just monthly evaluation footage...
First time i see so many bad coment about their in this reaction, wow. Sorry guys please respect baby monster and stan talent not age
First time for you because most people avoid giving bad reviews due to crazy YG stans ganging up on you for giving an opinion. Just because you don't hear any negative reviews online doesn't mean 100% of human population has to like this group, cmon...
@@divx1001 for real! they want them fake reactors.
They are will be so famous. I think especially Asa
Ruka is mostly a dancer and she just started rapping when she got there
Love the honest comments haha.. and that is why im subbed to this channel :) really agree on the baby part... give them time..
These m/v clips are from their monthly training evaluations from a year ago. This is an introduction pre debut.
You guys must be so used on hearing autotune and lipsyncing idols 🤣
facts
My assessment of Ruka's rap is that this song is not very interesting, let's see other songs, but the stage performance is typical of YG
Thank you for reacting BM. i love this reaction so much❤️
damn asa rap is so good bro 🔥
