You know how on occasion, you run across a group that just plain hits different, where nobody else has a look or sound like them? XG is DIFFERENT. As a Dreamcatcher stan, I appreciate this a lot, it's so refreshing to find another truly unique group with a dope sound who also happens to have absolutely stupid amounts of talent. I still cannot deal with Cocona and Jurin's unreasonable levels of swagger.
@@destinyswilly I have a REALLY DIFFICULT time being decisive at all so the fact that DC is my Ult should really say something. There are groups who have fallen off for me, but there are others who are right up there with XG right behind DC. (G)I-DLE, Twice, Red Velvet, Pink Fantasy...really too many to list here, come to think of it. It's actually very notable when a group falls off for me, I find it sad. I like almost everything to start with. Even with NMIXX' debut (which I know LOTS of people hated), I could groove to that even when it was so chaotic. Nothing said 'Gen Z' like NMIXX! My taste is very eclectic. :)
@@jamescurfman3284 I get that. I currently Stan at least 15 active girl groups, 7 boy groups and 8 soloists. My K-pop playlist is all over the place lol. When O.O came out, I listened to it without the MV because people said it was just too much. But I wanted to give them a chance. I still had a mental breakdown ngl. It was weird because the vocals itself were amazing, but the composition of the song, the production if you will threw me off. Now every time that song plays, I sing the chorus to the top of my lungs followed by NMIXX~ 😂. Really happy I gave myself some time to go back to the song. They are really talented
@@destinyswilly There ya go! That makes me happy. Always give somebody the benefit of the doubt first. I like them and they have done some really cool things after O.O .
XG are literally amazing Vocalists Rapper's and performer's who knows how to make people appreciate the diversity and versatility of their music video's and choreography Also Kess and Han love the new location for your reactions
The production, Stylists and make up artists has knocked another one out of the Park. Green eyeshadow works so well on Hinata. I doubt anyone else could carry it... and Cocona looks are flawless in this video. Maya is my bias but I Stan for these 2 ladies in this MV.
Don't SLEEP or STOP SLEEPING on XG ladies! They are the hottest, trending and reviewed GG group right now. Even now, there continue to be video reviews on "Shooting Star" and "Left Right" and on top of that, dance crew covers from around the world with "Shooting Star". I'm officially an ALPHAZ and they just hit the right combination of sound and dance for me. They simply bring me back to my highschool/college 90s/early 2000 days when the R&B vibe was a *chefs kiss*. Even this video gave me those back in the day vibes! First artist that comes to mind is Missy Elliott. I just hope their promotions lead to the US, to get on music networks such as MTV, late night TV show performances, etc. They will straight up blow UP at that point and skies the limit. Hit us with more of those R&B vibes and rap iso tracks highlighting the rappers in the group and a mix (both R&B and rap verses). Watch everything that's on RU-vid about them, although I know you're currently going through a deep dive with Twice (I love them too LOL). Love XG so stan them!
The vibes of this song and video are immaculate. It feels like that 00's girl group R&B that got lots of radio play but my parents were aghast when they figured out how spicy the lyrics were. If you want to check out more of their dancing, I recommend XG Move #3 and #4. They're both under two minutes and showcase really different vibes for them.
Also if you haven't seen a live stage or performance video of Tippy Toes you're missing the best part! The Mascara Live Stage version frames the killing choreo perfectly.
YES!! I have been saying this since I heard this video. They remind me of late 90’s early 2000’s R&B girl groups. The clothes in this video reminds me of SWV. Like it hits so hard. They are going to go far
I am just done watching your reaction video about the Shooting star and it‘s like i‘ve watched it more than 5x now because i like how you both looks so stunned and amazed. I am 35yr old man and can’t believe i am vibin‘ their music. Never been so fascinated about a single hit. This girl group is unreal!
I LOVE the fact that the members were all SMILING so much here! They looked like they were having a lot of fun with it while filming. That's so much better (from my perspective) than their being SO DEADLY SERIOUS as their debut or with Mascara. This was COOL! :)
I feel like the ladies of XG really enjoyed this video. You can see all of them smiling and just having fun. The videographer and editor definitely needs some recognition and awards. This MV is chefs kiss. Jurin, the J is not silent. The same with Juria. Their fashion definitely evolved from their debut song Tippy Toes. I'm sure their budget here is so much more

I liked Tippy Toes and Mascara, but Shooting Star and Left Right made me OBSESSED with them They're sooooo talented. Quickly became one of my favorite groups atm
I haven’t even watched the mv yet I’ll watch it before this reaction video. But jurin killed me in the live dance performance of this, I already know the song. I’m not ready because she slayed that and she really wouldn’t stop looking so disrespectful. There’s something about women who are already fierce and fiery and they cut their hair and they want to kill me even more than before. Oof I hope she has short hair in this.
Lately I have been re-watching reaction videos. When you two posted this, I mentioned how much I love the ladies smiling so much. But I forgot to mention another thought and I was reminded to say it since I re-watched this: XG is basically their own genre, the same way that DreamCatcher is their own genre. :)
I want every single one of these outfits! And the abs!! They have so much content check it out!!! They have a lot of dances on their channel and covers plus the two rap tapes!
You should check out the Vox videos, there are 4 of them. the first is a duet with Chisa & Juria, then vox 2-4 are individual performances with Chisa, Juria, & Hinata. There are 2 tapes (rap line). Tape 1 is Jurin & Harvey and second is with Jurin, Maya, Harvey, & Cocona. They also have 4 move (dance) videos, move 2 is made up with a series 7 videos of each member doing a different style of dance.
With Left-Right we can enjoy the voice tones of each member, and what is striking is that it does not sound like the k-pop cliché. BTW, Jurin is my bias and I identify as an ALPHAX. Greetings.
the fcking rappers sing! not just hold a note. they sing SING! everyone's voice qualities are so goood. the singers ALSO can fcking dance! like look at juria and chisa in the chorus. i can't even! they're the most well-rounded group I've ever known. their talents match their star quality. clap clap clap to them! and the team behind them. wtf.
XG is fire!! I hope they get way more popular in the future although they receive so much hate just for being japanese. They don't deserve any hate, honestly.
I can't help but see Harvey being Camilla Cabello's little sister, they look so similar. Also if you haven't already, AESPA should def be watched in release order, they have lore.
they all could be aces in a different group. but bringing them together in one, just puts them, like you said on a different level. the rap line can sing, the vocal line can rap, everyone is freaking gorgeous and amazing at dancing. it's hard to comprehend, but we can feel very lucky.
They are just in a place on their own, I have not been as excited about a group and their potential since my sisters were bringing home Beatles records. Just every thing is amazing. Visuals, styling, rapping, vocals (goddess like) concept, videos, choreography. I love the way the videos have full credits, it's almost like only, these insanely talented, and hard working girls, can deliver the entertainment creations of the group. Swoon❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
XG marathon 🙏🏻 they have a lot of content on their channel. VOX are the vocal performances (#1~4), TAPE are the rap performances (#1 and 2) and MOVE are the dance performances (#1~4). The dance practices are not part of the MOVE videos, but you need to watch those too ✨✨ I'm looking forward to your next XG reaction 🤩
The outfits and shot selection are all homages to late 90s and 2000s r&b and rap videos, ala Hype Williams/Bad Boy/Timbaland/Missy era of Music Videos, almost the same outfits too
The thing is not all B sides have MVs so it is good to watch like it soooo nostalgic. I keep replying this song Left right. It brought me to 2000's and It makes me to miss it. 😍
It is funny how people think XG should be a certain genre since they’re doing promotion in Korea and they belong to a Japanese company. But here is the thing if all Japanese members can or cannot be K-Pop, so all Korean members can be J-Pop too.! 😅 People might think this is kind of silly, but some of us still consider XG to be a certain genre, but in fact they belong to a Japanese company and all members have no relationships with Korean company, even YB Korean company announced they have nothing to do with XG. What ever you all think, simple logic here. Being a Japanese group can only benefit both countries, but the genre lies more towards JPop than K-pop genre. However it is good they labeled themselves as “Japanese global group”. No hassle and no headache. 😂
