A little further clarification: Baby Don't Cry's Korean title 인어의 눈물 (Ineoui Nunmu) literally translates to "A Mermaid's Tears" This is because the song is from the point of view of the prince in the original version of The Little Mermaid. The original, if you don't know, is *very* bittersweet. The prince actually does marry someone else~ And the mermaid is given the chance to get her mermaid tail back if she 🔪 the prince before the sun rises. In the story, she doesn't do it & instead allows herself to turn into sea foam (there's more where she gets a human soul if she does good as a spirit for 300 years that leaves on a more hopeful note)~ In the song, the prince wakes and the song is him pleading with her to end her suffering and do the deed~~~ Once you know all this, it explains so much the live stage from EXO's first tour, particularly the end part^.^
Omg i didnt expect this that you would post this on youtube i thought you just post on your patreon this is literally my fave album from them thank you for your reaction 💗
This album in 2013 when EXO were in their early 20s (Kai and Sehun only 19), the songs are lively and sunshine vibes. It was very popular among teenagers, it accompanied me thru my youth 🤗
We really want you to react to the live version of "Exo baby don't cry" because I think you will get deeper feelings and meaning in the live version, especially with the way they perform this song, it's really good 😊
This livestream was wonderful and I laughed sooo much throughout it! It was really fun going down memory lane with a full album reaction and to see what they us EXOLs back then! Thank you ❤❤❤❤
19:12 I think, a lot of people will mention that it's part of EXO's 2014 MAMA performance or that it's in the setlist of the first concert, which you'll hopefully do a reaction to one day~ One of my favorite videos of it besides those is *[LIVE] EXO「Black Pearl」Special Edit. from SMTOWN WEEK "Christmas Wonderland"* The same channel has an edit for Let Out the Beast which was performed right before Black Pearl for that stage *[LIVE] EXO「Let Out The Beast」Special Edit. from SMTOWN WEEK "Christmas Wonderland"*
Chanyeol’s rap in Baby Don’t Cry is fucking elite. Dont need to talk about eveyrbody else’s vocals because you already know. How could they be this good right out the gates ughhhhhhh
please also react to xoxo album chinese version. xoxo k-album is def no skip but there are some of the songs that hits the most in the chinese ver. i swear. one of my fave fave fave is exo-m’s black pearl
I would dare say that it's one of Exo's weakest album but damn it, it has some insane bangers like Black Pearl, Let out the beast, Baby Don't Cry, Don't Go, Peter Pan, etc 😭❤️
One of the weakest?! Excuuuuuuuuse youuuuuu 😂 Kyungsoo’s ad libs in XOXO song alone make this one of their best 😂😂😂 There is no weak/weakest Exo album. It just does not exist.
@@M-de-Vale I would still rate XOXO album above many albums in the whole kpop but in terms of Exo's own discography, it's *one of* the weakest. Still an amazing album for a rookie group at that time but in terms of the vocal eargasm, their growing improvements in future albums take the cake. ❤️
