Thank you very much.The creative director of this is the youngest member of #SB19 and the one wrote is Pablo. He discovered on line a music producer from Canada and is a Filipino named Simon Servida, you have to check his video of breaking down how they produced the sound.
They are the best reactors ever. They just dont compliment the song/singers but they really understand, explain, give their raw opinions and ofcourse they share their own experiences. No sugar-coating just to bait. I really love them hahaha
True! just watched one that is doing a mukbang while reacting to what and i got so annoyed that i had to go back to this channel to clear my mind LOL i regret watching even half of that bs, lesson learned for me.
They indeed are telling a story. But that story depends on who's listening. The flag has a ❓ in it, which means its representation depends on what the listener wants to fight for. The flag is universal, basically.
Representation: not just through country of origin but also your own identity, hence sexual orientation such as the LGBTQ community. BL Series GAMEBOYS fans will be delighted again with this new song after “Hanggang Sa Huli” became the official soundtrack of season 2.
*i love that Efra has highlighted how the shifts/transitions in rhythm contributed to the storytelling and the message that What? wants to convey. Sonically, lyrically and visually, the What? MV is relentless. Thank you so much for spending some time reacting to SB19 and thank you for appreciating What?.*
I always noticed it with Efra, goes more than reacting, its digging deep and expressing more of whats behind every song. He is spot on with bringing up the concept of storytelling behind the music that is why filipino music is thriving on social media.
The song is an anthem.. For pride.. For country.. For one's battle in life. SB19 'S songs are always with deep meaning. That's what's missing in pop music in general.. Positive messages and encouragement..

Actually, there are 4... Deep Tagalog: watawat Filipino: bandera Modern Tagalog: bandila Visayan: bandira and unofficially, the Ph English: plag hahaha
Its because Waleska and efra enjoys listening and reacting to a lot of videos and genres. They do a lot of reactions in the different music genres from the other countries as well
That guy when he’s explaining what this song is trying to show is bang right on. Good work. For me it’s more like an anthem song, like a rallying kind of beat. The transition’s a bit hardcore though.
It worked because of the rhetorical pause, "What?" between the pre-chorus and chorus. Like a way to hype the listeners too. I'm so excited when they perform it with a live audience.
'SAKALAM' is reverse word of 'MALAKAS' which means 'STRONG' we really used to reverse word in tagalog i dunno but we used to make our new ver of language but still tagalog
@@shajeeahanne1132 The world is steadily developing, growing and changing. There's nothing wrong with inventing new words since the sole purpose of having a language is making connections. Okay?
Whoa whoa whoa, I'm getting the hype that the SB19 fans were getting from this reaction!!! I think the analysis you did on the music was spot-on, especially the tempo and tune changes! A lot of folks are getting confused with the music transitions, so this was refreshing (and certainly was a pleasure) to watch! Thanks for reacting to our boys!
WHAT? by SB19 is not just a song. It’s a lifestyle, it gets you out of bed in the morning, a cultural reset, it’s a way of life, the oxygen you breathe, a dream, an art form, a true love, everything you’ve ever wanted.
The whole video tells their story from the scratch to what they are now and what they can still do in the future.In the first part, they told us their story when they were bashed,discriminated and put down.Saddest part was when even the Filipinos did step down on them.They were even judged that they sound KPOP and there will never be a PPOP. They were in the news but didnt stop.They used those negativities around to pull positivities and courage to go ahead! I think JUSTIN is a dreamer.Looking at the Earth but blindfolded.Also maybe he represent people with mental disorder living their own world.STELL hold some seeds trying to tell us to dig and dig,plant something and in the future,there will be a plenty fruits.KEN is like a King in a throne made of junk.He said in the lyrics that he picked up and collected all the trash,and that lifted him up but he keeps telling us that even he has a power now,our feet should always be on the ground.JOSH in real life didnt have an education degree.But on his part he said we are all different but sometimes,those so-called educated people are the worse.And he wont pretend.He started taking off those fancy clothes because that will never define him and what he can do. The Dreamer JUSTIN finally took out the blindfold.Now he is ready to turn those dreams to reality.Seeds from STELL'S hand grew.From the scene when he was holding soil,raining and lightning like a storm,it changed into a clearer nature scene. Then there comes the part when they are in soldier costumes which has a resemblance of Generals during the old times in Philippines.An image of a General signifies courage,focus and determination.Those people they were trying to pass through are the bashers and those who didnt like them.But eventually the same people became their fans and they celebrate together with SB19s music.Then it sounds like it became an anthem telling us that yes,PPOP is real.We have our own sound, our music!Thats why Filipinos,let us all rise our flag!They represent our country but in a bigger picture,they used a flag with question mark which represent each of us to show us that everybody has his/her own fla g to raise. The music video shows what hope,courage, determination and GOD above can do!🔥💙. Ctto.
Wow.this you have completely exxplained well.and i added also to your explanation is we need to have courage to tell the world that we can do imposible makes posible..we need to get out of the box that prisoned us for a long time just like in our music...
Thanks for the explanation and I read in one of the comments, that military unform as you have said wore during Spanish time and during their song they made use of the word Bandera instead of watawat which they used in the first part
What's good with SB19 is that they are very hands-on with what they want to achieve in terms of the message of the song, it's production quality and how people would perceive it in and outside the fandom. They really are passionate with their craft. It's not just a random MV but rather a work of art that conveys different messages of what the society has to go through during these times. SB19 Leader, PABLO wrote the song and co-produced it with Sir Simon and his brother Joshua Nase. JUSTIN their maknae or youngest member is the Creative Director for this MV along with the help of ChaptersPH. STELL, the main vocal, also did the choreography in partnership with Sir Tank. JOSH and KEN also added up intricate details in the whole shooting process. As you can see, they don't just sing and dance. They put their hearts into making genuine and precious works of art. It makes me love them even more. 💙 Our PPOP Kings 👑👑👑👑👑
I like that observation, telling a story not just through visuals but through the song & sounds & rhythm. We’re not used to that kind of buildup but it’s so good!
I dont mostly listened to those reaction but this one catch ly whole attention.. every words come out to there mouth tells everything 🤩🤩💪💪👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯🤯 im sooo impressed super. U two are d best reactoor ive even seen
We were blown away as well, tbh , when we watched this MV for the first time. All of those that you described...vocals..aesthetics, choreographies..were all the outcome of a Filo (Filipino) group collab. Sejun/Pablo the songwriter, Justin as the Creative Director, Josh/Ken/Stell choreography and vocals plus a dedicated team of award winning professionals have made this epic of a MV a reality. The main theme according to Pablo is all about Love and Empowerment. Love of self, country, roots and the sense of empowerment that you'd feel once you rise above the adversities as a result of that love. So much symbolisms depicted in here. Each of them represents the levels of society, and the props (metal garbage for Ken, Iron Maiden for Josh, Farm & Seeds for Stell, Space(confinement and release) for Justin) very well provided the message conveyed in the song by Pablo. And the flag? Could be a symbol of patriotism or oneself's experiences. This MV is an epic in itself and an anthem everyone has to hear. Thank you so much. I enjoyed your reaction to this MV. 💙
Woah, napaka matang lawin din nila..detailed sila magbigay ng feedback. Loved it! Knowledgable talaga sila sa music, thankyou for reacting and appreciating their new song po.😊
Here in Philippines, we have a lot of terms to call a thing with - one example is the flag, in Tagalog, you can call it "bandera" , "bandila" or "watawat". It may mean the same, the latter was just more formal.
@@kevinarellano2681 Tagalog is the pure language of tagalogs. Filipino is the national language based from it and incorporates loanwords from other languages both foreign and local
First of all, thank you guys for not saying the word word KPOP or even thinking about it in referrence. BiG thank you! Second, You've been a reactor for sooooo many songs(international), and still shocked with this arrangment BECAUSE IT IS indeed Bizzare! They had like 50 instruments there haha Thats what Pablo wants! YOU SHOULD watch how Simon Servida made i (He uploaded it in his YT chanel) im sure youll enjoy and learn a lot from it! Im not musically literate, but it really made me understand how complex making new beats do! KUDOS TO YOU ARTISTS! Thank you again guys💙
I was sipping coffee when I watched this RV and I almost spit it when I heard my dear Efra say "Sakalam".. he's too cute.. By the way, "Sakalam" is like a street word for "Malakas" which means STRONG.. hehe anyway, he's cute.
I always go back to your SB19's reactions. If you are interested in knowing the behind the scenes, you can check out their channel. You'll be surprised. Literally blood, sweat, and tears from the boys. So proud of them.
I love how you impress the mv of what,trivia on the dush that u can see on the set is not just a simple dush.its a lava from volcanic erupt way back in 1990..and the location itself is also the lost town coz of eruption..the map that they used in last part is the real murillo velarde map we used to protecting the property of the spratly island to china.
The actual producer of this song made a behind the scenes video on how it was created on his channel. Here's the TH-cam video title: "HOW I PRODUCED THE #1 SONG IN THE COUNTRY! SB19 - WHAT? BREAKDOWN!" I hope you guys get to react to it to see how much went into the making of the song itself and how much creative freedom Pablo was given to co-produce it :) And here's the title of a Behind The Scenes of a Film Crew member :) "SB19 WHAT - BEHIND THE SCENE FILM CREW EDITION Part 1"
I also think it'd be interesting to see them react to the producer's video because it seems like the sort of thing they often wonder about and discuss in videos about other songs, like some of the decision making and what influences are in it. Plus, they can hear some of the vocals with just a guitar, and there's talk about what percussions were used. At some point "Reggaeton" was mentioned and I thought about this channel among all the many reaction channels.
A lot of people still doubt us, denouncing everything that we do and everything that we're trying to achieve. We love what we do, that's why we do it respectfully. ‘What?’ is about self-love and empowerment. Each of us has our own flag. We should be proud of it and raise it as much as we can. As SB19 and as individuals, we know that we're not the best at everything, but that shouldn't stop us from what we want to achieve
I like how you breakdown the song. True, their songs tell stories. Their lyrics are always deep and meaningful. And sakalam is actually a malakas spelled backwards which means strong.
right analysis every detail of what? mv has a deep meaning it is not just all about having a great visual for the mv most of their scenes reflects the life of every filipino (or even foreign country) in the present and in the past
I wasn't expecting such clever thoughts specifically about the rhythm changes, and that really inspires me to keep improving as a producer. 💕 from Portugal
They really are one of the best reactors here in yt. They always discuss the technical parts of every reaction they do. They appreciate the art and the hardwork put in the making of the videos they react on, they really deserve more subs than that one reactor (u know him u guys lol shh) he just focuses on how much he hate makeup on men lol.
OMGGGGG I WAS WAITING FOR YOU!! We are expecting an album. Justin, the youngest member, was the creative director. Pablo, the leader, wrote the song. Also, Simon Servida, the music producer released a video in his channel the process of how he, along with Pablo's directiob, made the song. Flag could be "bandera", "bandila" or "watawat".
Of all foreigners reacting SB19 What?, you guys really did understood the meaning behind the song base on musicality and visually. Indeed the composition of What is amazing!
"di na bala para i angat ang bandera~" translation: "don't need bullet just to raise our flag~" i think the meaning of this line is not about wars... Its about them.. we don't need bullet's to raise our flag cu'z we have them... (But of course we need bullet to defend our country if someone tries to seize us")😌
I just love this video reaction. You’re able to notice a lot of things that only means your paying attention to every detail of the song. SB19 is so talented worth it to watch and entertaining. New subs here! Excited to more future reaction with SB19! You guys are awesome! 👌👌👌👌👌💙💙💙💙💙❓❓❓❓🔥🔥🔥🔥
Finally. Been waiting for this. I totally agree with you guys, especially when Efra pointed out how the music itself tells a story. Personally, I had the same observation too when it comes to the music. Besides the visuals of the music video and the lyrics, the song is also telling a story through the flow of the beats and the changes in the tempo. It's like plotting a story or watching an entire film just by listening to this song. There was an opening scene, the build up of game-changing scenes (both the rap parts, melodic parts, and the chorus), and then we have the build up of the climax (after the dance break part), and the finale (last chorus with the high notes and all the adlibs that made it more like an ending of a story where the protagonist has finally won the battle) . I'm glad that you guys also noticed the correlation of how the music fits the lyrics and the visuals. Btw to answer Waleska's question, it took them 3 days to shoot this music video. Some of the scenes were really shot at night.
I like their reaction, I like how they don't just show their expression, but actually explaining about their overall thoughts on the video. I also admire that they actually know about some things about the Philippines, I don't hate other youtubers who make reactions about filipinos or the Philippines, I'm actually grateful that they took interest. But some of them really don't do their research or they don't do enough research so they miss out on a lot of things, so when they do a reaction on music videos, they only watch, listen, and read the lyrics (some even just watch and listen, not really understanding it.) and they don't notice or they overlook some parts that are very important. These guys, really notice everything and they actually try to understand the relation between the story, the lyrics, and the music video. They gave me the impression that they are really interested. Also, I am quite surprised that they have a lot of sensible questions, they don't just stare and show impressed faces and it makes me satisfied like, finally someone asked the right questions or someone finally pointed out the right things! PS: I find spanish interesting too. I like how they sound, especially when their discussing about something or they're having an intense argument, it's so satisfying to listen to, AND THE WORDS HAVE GENDERS!! How interesting is that?! ✨
Exactly! I mean so far in my opinion, you're the only one clearly interpreted the reason of using this kind of rhythmical change according to what intensity the message would want to bring. Others may say that the melody is like all over the places, but come on, they are indeed telling a story and so their music. I kinda looking for the words how to explain it and thanks for this ❤️
You should react to the producer of the song on how they created the beat( pablo and mr.servida). Every member has his own kind of beat. Actually hes a filipino base in canada I think. He actually answers and responds to comments and questions. You should invite him on your podcast that would be cool.
My fave reaction video of WHAT. I love how both of you explained the rhythm, words, story, costume and make up all contributing to the essence of the song.
OMG FINALLY!! The only reaction I've been waiting for "What?". Bandera means banner (You dont need bullets to raise your banner/flag) then "watawat" means flag (Swing your flag proudly). It nice to watch it again coz there's so many symbolism not only in the lyrics but also in the MV. The marching drums sound paired with the race tracks, iron maiden etc.. there's so much easter eggs! Justin the bunso(maknae) is the creative director of this MV. The group was also choreographed it and most importantly, Pablo is the one behind the lyrics and arrangements. Please please watch the video on how it was mixed by Simon. It would be fun to watch it with you guys and hear your thoughts about it! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it was awesome as always! Sending love from your prima on the other side of the world! 💙
SB19's leader Pablo told about "What?": "A lot of people still doubt us, denouncing everything that we do and everything that we're trying to achieve. We love what we do, that's why we do it respectfully. 'What?' is about self-love and empowerment. Each of us has our own flag. We should be proud of it and raise it as much as we can. As SB19 and as individuals, we know that we're not the best at everything, but that shouldn't stop us from what we want to achieve."
Supposedly, they're going to do a music launch 30 minutes after the release of the MV but they were quarantined because they've been exposed to someone who's Covid19 Positive. You could also check out Servido's Music Channel so you could see how this song was produced if you have time. Thank you so much for reacting to SB19. More power to yoir channel.
I think what really amazes me is the proper amount of diversity they were able to incorporate here. Just the perfect recipe. Theres always surprise in so many aspect. Plus those small details gives it so much flavor.
As usual...love your in depth reaction.....how you go through the totality of the concept...shows your genuine appreciation for tge artists you react to!!!....again love you two!
*WALESKA HERRERA AND MINYEO TV ARE THE BEST REACTORS FOR ME! THEY BOTH REMEMBER THE INFO LEARNED FROM PREVIOUS VIDEOS. THEY ARE BOTH GENUINE. I GOT SO MUCH TO SAY BUT Y'ALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN! PERIOD!*
"Watawat" is in Tagalog, the native language from the northern island of Luzon (like Cebuano and Binisaya are the languages spoken in the southern islands of the Visayas & Mindanao). "Bandera" or "Bandila" is in Pilipino language (the national language or unifier, taught in schools nationwide) based mainly on Tagalog but incorporates Spanish, English, Chinese, Bisaya and other native dialects.
Northern Luzon bruh! You mean Central and South Luzon? We do have 50+ languages up here in Northern Luzon and we never used watawat in usual convo. Rather, it's bandera/bandira/etc
This song is very revolutionary in some point, cause it serves as an Anthem Song to everyone. #SB19 Is reminding us to be not afraid of anything or what, Be Proud of Who U ARE. When everything seems so hard for you, just keep going on, cause time will be good on U. With Faith in God everything is Possible. So Raise ur Flag 🏴🚩 And Empower ur Self 😊 Don't know but All I can Say is ur Reactions are freacking LIT 🌋 .. Looking forward for more reactions from u Guys.. U are so awesome.
What I like about this reaction is they hit some details correctly. They tried to dissect and not just watched. And yes, FLAG can be called WATAWAT, BANDERA, BANDILA in Filipino.

Each of them represents the levels of society, and the props (metal garbage for Ken, Iron Maiden for Josh, Farm & Seeds for Stell, Space(confinement and release) for Justin) very well provided the message conveyed in the song by Pablo. And the flag? Could be a symbol of patriotism or oneself's experiences. This MV is an epic in itself and an anthem everyone has to hear. Thank you so much. I enjoyed your reaction to this MV. 💙
Woah, napaka matang lawin din nila..detailed sila magbigay ng feedback. Loved it! Knowledgable talaga sila sa music, thankyou for reacting and appreciating their new song po.😊
Here in Philippines, we have a lot of terms to call a thing with - one example is the flag, in Tagalog, you can call it "bandera" , "bandila" or "watawat". It may mean the same, the latter was just more formal.
True, Bandera is an alternative spanish influenced local word and Watawat is the more local or old/authentic tagalog word.
Bandila also..
@@jancyruslabrador4941 yes correct, I forgot that one. Filipino language is just so rich
@@kevinarellano2681 Tagalog is the pure language of tagalogs. Filipino is the national language based from it and incorporates loanwords from other languages both foreign and local
@@raldebona watawat isn't formal at all it's just not commonly used.
True artists understands true art. Thank you for your unbiased reaction.
I love how you guys reacted to our Filipino prides! Just so flattering being one of them as Filipinos! Thank you!
This is the number one song on the "myx" daily top ten, a music channel here in the Philippines..
First of all, thank you guys for not saying the word word KPOP or even thinking about it in referrence. BiG thank you!
Second, You've been a reactor for sooooo many songs(international), and still shocked with this arrangment BECAUSE IT IS indeed Bizzare! They had like 50 instruments there haha Thats what Pablo wants! YOU SHOULD watch how Simon Servida made i (He uploaded it in his YT chanel) im sure youll enjoy and learn a lot from it! Im not musically literate, but it really made me understand how complex making new beats do! KUDOS TO YOU ARTISTS! Thank you again guys💙
Hi there! This is an A’tin(SB19 fandom) from Jeddah, KSA.
A new subscriber!
Thank you for this reaction.
More sb19 vids please!
God bless!
I was sipping coffee when I watched this RV and I almost spit it when I heard my dear Efra say "Sakalam".. he's too cute..
By the way, "Sakalam" is like a street word for "Malakas" which means STRONG.. hehe anyway, he's cute.
I always go back to your SB19's reactions. If you are interested in knowing the behind the scenes, you can check out their channel. You'll be surprised. Literally blood, sweat, and tears from the boys. So proud of them.
I love how you impress the mv of what,trivia on the dush that u can see on the set is not just a simple dush.its a lava from volcanic erupt way back in 1990..and the location itself is also the lost town coz of eruption..the map that they used in last part is the real murillo velarde map we used to protecting the property of the spratly island to china.
Best reaction for the SB19 PPop King. Thank you!
The actual producer of this song made a behind the scenes video on how it was created on his channel. Here's the TH-cam video title: "HOW I PRODUCED THE #1 SONG IN THE COUNTRY! SB19 - WHAT? BREAKDOWN!" I hope you guys get to react to it to see how much went into the making of the song itself and how much creative freedom Pablo was given to co-produce it :) And here's the title of a Behind The Scenes of a Film Crew member :) "SB19 WHAT - BEHIND THE SCENE FILM CREW EDITION Part 1"
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO.
🎉🎉🎉

Yes, they should watch that! It is a Journey!!
Yesss the two videos are fun to watch. Makes you appreciate What? even more.
I also think it'd be interesting to see them react to the producer's video because it seems like the sort of thing they often wonder about and discuss in videos about other songs, like some of the decision making and what influences are in it. Plus, they can hear some of the vocals with just a guitar, and there's talk about what percussions were used. At some point "Reggaeton" was mentioned and I thought about this channel among all the many reaction channels.
A lot of people still doubt us, denouncing everything that we do and everything that we're trying to achieve. We love what we do, that's why we do it respectfully. ‘What?’ is about self-love and empowerment. Each of us has our own flag. We should be proud of it and raise it as much as we can. As SB19 and as individuals, we know that we're not the best at everything, but that shouldn't stop us from what we want to achieve
I like how you breakdown the song. True, their songs tell stories. Their lyrics are always deep and meaningful. And sakalam is actually a malakas spelled backwards which means strong.
Well done. Great reaction. Thank you!!!
right analysis
every detail of what? mv has a deep meaning
it is not just all about having a great visual for the mv
most of their scenes reflects the life of every filipino (or even foreign country) in the present and in the past
These reactors are so deep. They talk a lot of sense
I wasn't expecting such clever thoughts specifically about the rhythm changes, and that really inspires me to keep improving as a producer.
💕 from Portugal
You are the best reactor ever!!!
They really are one of the best reactors here in yt. They always discuss the technical parts of every reaction they do. They appreciate the art and the hardwork put in the making of the videos they react on, they really deserve more subs than that one reactor (u know him u guys lol shh) he just focuses on how much he hate makeup on men lol.
I like how Ezra sees the relationship of the sound with the story behind the song.
OMGGGGG I WAS WAITING FOR YOU!! We are expecting an album.
Justin, the youngest member, was the creative director.
Pablo, the leader, wrote the song.
Also, Simon Servida, the music producer released a video in his channel the process of how he, along with Pablo's directiob, made the song.
Flag could be "bandera", "bandila" or "watawat".
Best reaction video I watched. Critical and facts.
It's like a short film indeed and the song is like the official musical score. You are one of my fave reactors so far.
Of all foreigners reacting SB19 What?, you guys really did understood the meaning behind the song base on musicality and visually. Indeed the composition of What is amazing!
"di na bala para i angat ang bandera~" translation: "don't need bullet just to raise our flag~" i think the meaning of this line is not about wars... Its about them.. we don't need bullet's to raise our flag cu'z we have them... (But of course we need bullet to defend our country if someone tries to seize us")😌
ONE OF THE BEST INTERNAL AND DEEP CRITICISMS FROM THESE REACTORS! I Subscribed!!👏
Right on point analysis, Efra! You're an artist indeed.
WA-TA-WAT (Flag) you are right,I really like them and for me this is the best reaction vedio of SB19
WOW!!! THIS IS SO LIT!! Thank you for supporting SB19
woah he has a pointtttttttttt i love this reaction
Their leader, Pablo, who happens to compose their songs as well, is a fan of wordplay. Watawat, paawat are words that happen to rhyme with "What❓".
Wow. On point.
I just love this video reaction. You’re able to notice a lot of things that only means your paying attention to every detail of the song. SB19 is so talented worth it to watch and entertaining. New subs here! Excited to more future reaction with SB19! You guys are awesome! 👌👌👌👌👌💙💙💙💙💙❓❓❓❓🔥🔥🔥🔥
This reactors are my fave, thankyou sp much for reacting sb19's MV.
We hope you can interview SB19. They are nominated for Top Social Artist in Billboard Music Award 2021! 💙💙
Lovelots from Philippines!! ❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭
Very nice reaction!
WHAT? Digital Single and the Extended Version.
Efra, the producer Simon Servida showed us the breakdown of this. Making beats.
I really love this reactors very genuine 😍😍😍
Finally. Been waiting for this. I totally agree with you guys, especially when Efra pointed out how the music itself tells a story. Personally, I had the same observation too when it comes to the music. Besides the visuals of the music video and the lyrics, the song is also telling a story through the flow of the beats and the changes in the tempo. It's like plotting a story or watching an entire film just by listening to this song. There was an opening scene, the build up of game-changing scenes (both the rap parts, melodic parts, and the chorus), and then we have the build up of the climax (after the dance break part), and the finale (last chorus with the high notes and all the adlibs that made it more like an ending of a story where the protagonist has finally won the battle) . I'm glad that you guys also noticed the correlation of how the music fits the lyrics and the visuals.
Btw to answer Waleska's question, it took them 3 days to shoot this music video. Some of the scenes were really shot at night.
Proud to be pilipina napakagaling🙌🙌🙌
You can react to how the music was produced, it is on Simon Servida’s channel 🔥
I like their reaction, I like how they don't just show their expression, but actually explaining about their overall thoughts on the video. I also admire that they actually know about some things about the Philippines, I don't hate other youtubers who make reactions about filipinos or the Philippines, I'm actually grateful that they took interest. But some of them really don't do their research or they don't do enough research so they miss out on a lot of things, so when they do a reaction on music videos, they only watch, listen, and read the lyrics (some even just watch and listen, not really understanding it.) and they don't notice or they overlook some parts that are very important.
These guys, really notice everything and they actually try to understand the relation between the story, the lyrics, and the music video. They gave me the impression that they are really interested. Also, I am quite surprised that they have a lot of sensible questions, they don't just stare and show impressed faces and it makes me satisfied like, finally someone asked the right questions or someone finally pointed out the right things!
PS: I find spanish interesting too. I like how they sound, especially when their discussing about something or they're having an intense argument, it's so satisfying to listen to, AND THE WORDS HAVE GENDERS!! How interesting is that?! ✨
They know what they are doing.
Exactly! I mean so far in my opinion, you're the only one clearly interpreted the reason of using this kind of rhythmical change according to what intensity the message would want to bring. Others may say that the melody is like all over the places, but come on, they are indeed telling a story and so their music. I kinda looking for the words how to explain it and thanks for this ❤️
Hands down to this Duo! 🙌 They are the most attentive reactors and they even interpret the song on point. 👌🏻🔥❤
You should react to the producer of the song on how they created the beat( pablo and mr.servida). Every member has his own kind of beat. Actually hes a filipino base in canada I think. He actually answers and responds to comments and questions. You should invite him on your podcast that would be cool.
OMG agree to this. Simon makes music and a youtuber same with waleska and efra! that'd be dope!
Your reactions are the best!!!!🥺🥺💖💖
Thank you for supporting Filipino Artist. proud Pinoy here! Supporting SB19 :)
Legit reactors, I feel like I'm watching a talkshow and not a vid reaction, I enjoyed it. keep it up
The reactors that I've been waiting for
Sb19 ppop king is this song deserves to the world
I think the press release they sent to media outlets mentioned that this is the first single from their upcoming yet-to-be-announced album.
I'm a fan now. Nice reaction mam and sir ❤️
I agree that the live performance will be so dope when the live audience can also vibe with the beats of the song
Proud to all of you dudes! Am excited on your next interview with Myx ...looking forward
You have to watch SB19’s ballad songs “Tilaluha” & “Hanggang sa Huli” to see their vocal prowess & harmonies.
My fave reaction video of WHAT. I love how both of you explained the rhythm, words, story, costume and make up all contributing to the essence of the song.
OMG FINALLY!! The only reaction I've been waiting for "What?".
Bandera means banner (You dont need bullets to raise your banner/flag) then "watawat" means flag (Swing your flag proudly). It nice to watch it again coz there's so many symbolism not only in the lyrics but also in the MV. The marching drums sound paired with the race tracks, iron maiden etc.. there's so much easter eggs! Justin the bunso(maknae) is the creative director of this MV. The group was also choreographed it and most importantly, Pablo is the one behind the lyrics and arrangements.
Please please watch the video on how it was mixed by Simon. It would be fun to watch it with you guys and hear your thoughts about it!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it was awesome as always! Sending love from your prima on the other side of the world! 💙
You are intelligent reactors and true artists because by just first time watching it you understand what the songs means. :)
SB19's leader Pablo told about "What?": "A lot of people still doubt us, denouncing everything that we do and everything that we're trying to achieve. We love what we do, that's why we do it respectfully. 'What?' is about self-love and empowerment. Each of us has our own flag. We should be proud of it and raise it as much as we can. As SB19 and as individuals, we know that we're not the best at everything, but that shouldn't stop us from what we want to achieve."
Love your reactions❤❤❤
Supposedly, they're going to do a music launch 30 minutes after the release of the MV but they were quarantined because they've been exposed to someone who's Covid19 Positive. You could also check out Servido's Music Channel so you could see how this song was produced if you have time. Thank you so much for reacting to SB19. More power to yoir channel.
Tas sila pala yung positive din. Hindi lang nila sinabi para di tayo mag-alala😕
I think what really amazes me is the proper amount of diversity they were able to incorporate here. Just the perfect recipe. Theres always surprise in so many aspect. Plus those small details gives it so much flavor.
SAKALAM when you reverse it it's MALAKAS in english STRONG...
Thank you for this video! More sb19 reaction videos please 💛
I love how they explained everything on how they give their reactions.
Best!
As usual...love your in depth reaction.....how you go through the totality of the concept...shows your genuine appreciation for tge artists you react to!!!....again love you two!
Thank you for the fair comments and reaction.. 💙💙💙💙💙
Watawat or bandera is flag. Love your reactions always!!!👏👍❤❤
*WALESKA HERRERA AND MINYEO TV ARE THE BEST REACTORS FOR ME! THEY BOTH REMEMBER THE INFO LEARNED FROM PREVIOUS VIDEOS. THEY ARE BOTH GENUINE. I GOT SO MUCH TO SAY BUT Y'ALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN! PERIOD!*
Yes true!
one of the best reactor ,,, you understand message a lottt
"Watawat" is in Tagalog, the native language from the northern island of Luzon (like Cebuano and Binisaya are the languages spoken in the southern islands of the Visayas & Mindanao).
"Bandera" or "Bandila" is in Pilipino language (the national language or unifier, taught in schools nationwide) based mainly on Tagalog but incorporates Spanish, English, Chinese, Bisaya and other native dialects.
Northern Luzon bruh!
You mean Central and South Luzon?
We do have 50+ languages up here in Northern Luzon and we never used watawat in usual convo.
Rather, it's bandera/bandira/etc
This song is very revolutionary in some point, cause it serves as an Anthem Song to everyone. #SB19 Is reminding us to be not afraid of anything or what, Be Proud of Who U ARE. When everything seems so hard for you, just keep going on, cause time will be good on U. With Faith in God everything is Possible. So Raise ur Flag 🏴🚩 And Empower ur Self 😊
Don't know but All I can Say is ur Reactions are freacking LIT 🌋 .. Looking forward for more reactions from u Guys.. U are so awesome.
They are now nominated at BBMA
Wow I'm amazed how they get each and every point, indeed one of the best reactions❤
What I like about this reaction is they hit some details correctly. They tried to dissect and not just watched.
And yes, FLAG can be called WATAWAT, BANDERA, BANDILA in Filipino.
