Me dying here with you calling Daniela Celeste the whole performance haha

lara ATE. no crumbs. ezrela was amazing w the facial expressions. samara did amazing, so whole rounded tbh ! and sophia was sick, BARELY could tell. i love them sm !

I fully agree with you about Manon. I want her to work that camera so badly. She gives me deer in the headlights sometimes. If Daniela doesn't debut I'm going to be so upset because she is a star. Im very confident that Lara will debut. Her and Daniela are my top 2.

I appreciate you Manon critiques because I agree that she isn't a bad dancer or singer, but she isn't fully giving that spark when performing still. You mentioning that she might be used to giving that face because she is a pretty girl and that's her default expression made so much sense because that seems like her go to. She shows little glimpses of expression, but I hope she can do more at some point if she wants to be a performer that really takes charge like Daniela or Lara do. Your videos are so good and I never feel like you are being unreasonable if that makes sense. The Samara saying "forget my past" line made me laugh though 🤣 I didn't even think of that

I just realised that we haven’t seen Lara and Daniela in the same group yet omg

Lara and Daniela ate this mission!! I think those two have the best vocals/performance energy!

Lara and Daniela…yep, your MIND!! They are my top 2 by far. I’m so glad you noticed Daniela in that performance (despite the wrong name lmao) because she didn’t get a lot of singing parts, but she was constantly giving!! You should check out her individual fancam, I keep going back to it she is a STAR! 🔥 Edit: Also completely agree with you about Manon. Her facial expressions need a lot of work, but she sounded great in this for sure. Marquise really caught my eye for the first time this mission, she looked amazing and she was dancing well and her voice sounded nice too.

I love that this is a safe space for Lara Stans 😂 Also Marquise did great. I never paid much attention to her in the previous challenges, but she stepped up in this mission. In the prep vlog they said that she injured her lower back and she was still killin the choreo

I don't agree with you, because I think that the Wannabe team had the best chemistry between them and that to me it seemed like a group, whereas buttons I thought was something more individual where they were just doing the choreography, the only thing I agree with is that Daniela It's amazing haha ​​She's in my top along with Samara, Megan, Lara, Sophia, Nayoung and Yeonchae

Lara and Daniela are my top 2 as well. Probably followed by Megan and Yoonchae. It’s wild to me because not enough people are talking about Daniela. Her and Lara are STARS. Some of the others have too much hype around them that I feel like I haven’t seen them live up to.

I really like daniela and sophia. Daniela is the dark horse of the show. Enough said. Sophia, on the other hand, is the best anchor. Like even if you have your own faves, you just have to her in your lineup. If you analize the 3 missions, you’d notice that she’s always in charge of supporting vocals. She’s also an all rounder. She’s a need to balance the dancers and singers.

I already know he’s gonna say that LARA ATEE. Cause she’s just that girl.

Manons facial expressions sometimes be giving wonhee 💀💀💀💀

Samara and Emily rocked it

Samara does'nt support Israel or any country, she never talked about, the videos she liked was EXPLANATION videos abt the war. The only thing u can contest her is about the video that she liked a tiktok about stereotype Indian street food, which for us brazilian it's a meme, i get the pov of international fans talking abt mocking a culture but we do this kinda of content even with brazilian street food, we found the situation funny, not the culture that the person is included. I get international pov but as a brazilian i can oppenly says that she's not anti-indian for liking that kinda of video, for us the content is about the situation and not to the country. Bsides that, she's in a global show and should apologize, even though she's 100% not anti-indian, but people can be sad and disappointed so, even if was not her intention she should apologize to this people (not the haters who always have something against her and manon LMAO U KNOW THE NAME OF IT) . off topic: Probably hybe is taking charge of the things, that's why she still did'nt apologize. off topic²: Lara's mom started to follow Samara again, they problably resolve this chaotic missunderstanding.

Let me tell you something about Samara, someone who has always followed you closely. It's not the first time that Samara has gone through everything she is facing now. For those who don't know, in 2020, global pop group Now United announced that they would choose a fan from around the world to go to Dubai, meet the members and sing a cover of one of their songs. Many people from different places signed up, and Samara was chosen. She sang, danced and met all the members. The Brazilians were happy and proud of her. The following year, in 2021, Now United announced that they would hold a bootcamp with some fans from different countries, and three Brazilians were chosen, including Samara. At the time, part of the fan base in Brazil was surprised to see Samara again in the group, claiming that she could be taking someone else's place, as she had already participated in something with the group. However, she continued at the bootcamp, took classes, danced and prepared along with the other participants. In the end, they recorded an exclusive clip of the bootcampers and another called 'Come Together' with the members of Now United. The fact is that Xix, the owner of the group, recognized how talented Samara is and always invited her to participate in her projects. Her talent started to bother some people, which led part of the fandom and even people in the country to attack Samara for participating in the bootcamp. However, she remained strong and always stood out until the end of the bootcamp, even though some fans were not very happy to see her participating again. In the end, people realized that she really is talented. After the bootcamp ended, Samara returned to Brazil and took a break from social media. I thought that after everything, she would give up and remain an ordinary girl. However, to our surprise, this year she returned and received the support of all the Brazilian and foreign fans who already knew her. Everyone finally recognized her talent and gave their full support. We joined forces to get her to debut. . However, after receiving praise from chaewon, member of the group le sserafim and recording a solo video with a member of TXT, other fan bases began to look into Samara's stuff. looking for something to harm her. They took videos in Portuguese, even without knowing the language, and started spreading lies, increasing the accusations more and more. But for those who followed this case closely, we know that Samara is not what they are spreading the word about. I'm not saying this because I'm Brazilian, but because we saw things going beyond the limits. We saw comments stating that all Brazilians hate Indians, which is completely wrong. What is happening in Brazil is considered a crime, spreading lies to harm someone. However, we know that Samara is very talented and always stands out, along with the other girls. You can be sure that we, Brazilians, will vote a lot and take Samara to the final. Love will overcome hate once again, just as Samara has overcome other unfair situations before, simply by being talented. If it depends on Brazilians, Samara will join the group because one thing we do not tolerate is lies and injustice, let's gather strength and make it happen. #Peace (sorry for the English, I know very little, I had help from the transator).

About Samara's "past", I'm actually Brazilian and I can confirm that Americans trying to translate videos from Portuguese to English with Google Translate, to try to end up with someone in second place is quite ridiculous, I confess that I was shocked by the lack of knowledge in translating a language as complex as Brazilian Portuguese just so that their favs have a chance on the podium. And Samara is really trying her best even with all the hate, there are also fake Brazilians trying to say they know what the videos meanings are or aren't.

I loved Team Wannabe, Samara is wonderful and these things about Samara, most if not everything is a lie and taken out of context to tarnish her image, as the Brazilian fandom has already explained it many times, but people don't even want to hear it, even more so being someone high in the ranking who only delivers excellence and we know that it is easier to cancel a black girl and the dream academy fandom keeps attacking Samara, Manom ​​and now they are even going after Lara, but please don't believe that, because she is wonderful and She didn't do anything bad and he really deserves to debut

all I know is that Lara NEEDS to debut

Samara e Lara💜

Overall: Complicated/Confident was the best performance vocal/dance/stage presence wise, all 4 were strong Buttons was 2nd, dance and vocally, very strong, but lacking SP, especially Manon, that should've been her moment. She was also very nervous and it was obvious. I'm rooting for her. Wannabe is last, did not like the vocals from 3 out of the 4. Dance was okay. SP was strong. But vocally, only Samara carried.

Lara is star quality, Megan surprised me, she has improved a lot Manon needs to work on her facial and corporal expression

The thing about Samara was just a big misunderstanding, and people so easily spread false rumor that is affecting her future. It's just not fair

Samara's high notes wow❤‍🔥Her vocals couldn't be better

If Manon sold to the camera more she would be unstoppable with her gorgeous looks.

I love how you've been a Lara stan from the start. She's such a star

yeah manon was giving nothing to the point where I was actually impressed that she managed to not move her facial expression even an inch LOL

SOPHIA ALL THE WAY ❤

Manon has improved with each mission and there’s no doubt in my mind that she will continue to improve going forward.

That's my issue with manon. Her eyes are not expressive

I’m still confused on the whole issue with Samara, i honestly really want her vocals in this group

I agree with a lot of your points! For manon she is really new to performing in front of people so maybe shes just really nervous but you are right she does need to give the fierceness the entire time and not just at moments I do believe she can and will improve before debut though!

The thing is that all the reactors are into Daniela but the actual audience, they all say that she is one that stands out a lot but the intended audience fails to see or rather don't want to support her for whatever nonsense reason because she hasn't done anything wrong yet. The whole competition is more focused on who is from each country rather on the contestants which I don't blame because as them, I also want in a group a representative of my country.

EZRELA recently lost her close one nevertheless she nailed it💜

Sophia and Daniela🔥💯

YOUR REACTION MADE IT ON THEIR NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY OMGG AHAHAHAH

LITERALLY I HAD THE SAME OPINIONS ABOUT MANON ANDS EVERYBODY ELSE MADE ME THINK I WAS CRAZY. THE DIE HARD MANON FANS CAME AFTER ME

My thoughts right now are that there are still three to four outstanding or very good voices... Lara, Samara, Nayoung and also Sophia, especially in the support, harmony, basic voice. If Nayoung really leaves and Samara is further canceled, the potential group will even lose the top two. Unfortunately, when it comes to dancing and performance, Nayoung now seems to me to be the weakest in the field. 🥲 There are also three really outstanding, very good dancers among the remaining participants... others also have a strong level, but of the top 3, Ua probably won't make it to the finals. Emily is making a nice development and with the bit of background video we can see, it also seems that she would be a real asset with her professionalism and manner, she just doesn't get that much support either. :/ Daniela is perhaps the most complete of the three because her vocal ability is higher, but also her performance skills currently have everything to give this group a high level. But she hasn't been able to activate this large support base yet either. I would place the others in a good midfield in terms of their abilities. The question is what is the final decision criterion? Forming this group more with popularity or in balanced skills? A few of those mentioned will be able to make it with fan votes I think like Sophia... but it may also mean a loss of outstanding, special skills for the group that could attract attention in a broad market. That's why I can even understand why people would like to 'snap' something from Manon that would represent real outgoing star performance quality. She doesn't have to be the best at skills, but she could play the personality card, except maybe she really isn't capable of it. With Sophia, Lara I can see that a bit... I'm excited to see how it all comes together in the end. I hope that the group can impress with their skills, which result in good music. I think normal levels won't be enough. But those are just my thoughts.

9:51 She is Daniela not Celeste

Who REALLY should debut: 1. Samara 2. Lara 3. Daniela 4. Ezrela 5. Nayoung 6. Sophia That's it!

So ready to hear your take on this 🔥 you never disappoint

Lara,sophia and daniela is need of the group

I don't get the Celeste hype tbh her argentinian fanbase is crazy

lara and daniela also my top two

My top three are Lara Sophia amd Daniela. i dont know why samara fans are making excuses abt her liking zionist and racist tiktoks. shes a growm girl and knew what she was doing

Confident team really understood the assignment thy killed it 🔥

I liked Emily, she stood out, her voice has personality when she did this song, I like that she’s extra, she kinda has Britney Spears vibes, like the eyes idk

Lara and Samara be hitting the notes babes, they deserve the winn!!

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THISSS

If I’m being honest I think Wannabe probably did the best overall and buttons did the worse🥲

Yeeees, I have totally same thoughts with you - they are just performers, dancers, a little bit singers and what’s all, I am not into them… a little star potential has manon and may be Daniel

Honestly I have the same critique about Manon and her facial expressions but I must say she already improved drastically with their pre-finale special performance of ‘Break Free’

Megan slayed with cinfident idk how you didn’t notice her vocals and stage presence, Daniella also slayed they are just both born to perform fr

love Samara ❤️

Daniela is not Celeste!

Can you do reaction video for Dream Academy Bonus Performance “Break Free” it’s already uploaded on Hybe’s channel.

celeste actually slayed tho?

Manon needs to stop thinking so hard. You can tell she is uncomfortable with the choreo and can’t connect with the camera. Vocals are so delicious, but her face is dead in the water. Daniela, Lara, Megan p, and Sophia are for sure finalists if not the group, but the other girls have improved, but need to step it up.

the one u called Celeste is actually Daniela 😭

Wannabe

Love wannabe

daniela and nayoung were my favorites!

Emily's dancing often makes me think of cheerleading in the missions shown, which is why it seems a bit too much to me. It would have been more interesting to see her in the other two missions I think. In the DA concept movie, she actually danced in a very exciting and sexy way. I wonder where that is...

people saying the Samara situation is a misunderstanding like no babe we’ve seen the likes on TikTok’s, and as Muslim like I was so disappointed and I will not be rooting for any zionists

The girl with the curly black hair you said you liked is actually Daniela. The girl with the pink hair is Celeste

He kept on saying the wrong name. Lol. 😂

Manons just trying to focus 😂

Not him confusing Daniela and Celeste lol

Celesteee❤❤❤

What I've seen from all these performances : Emily - a bit too much of everything and this can easily topple the balance of group chemistry. Vocals are not much but she can rise up to the situation. Ezrela - love all her expressions, smart, blends in well. Like her voice, brings the facial expressions to her singing. Ua - talented enough but too young is what I think. Her time hasn't come yet. Maybe two years later. And she's so not used to singing. Samara - girl can sing and that voice is polished. I'm an Indian and I don't care what's going on out there. This is about music and she's a talented young girl. But stage presence needs work. Megan - she's good. She brings everything to the table. And her growth rate is impressive especially vocals. It'll be nice watching her grow more. Lara - vocals, expression, overall stage presence, she slayed. I think she lacks stamina. A bit more strength and she'll be unstoppable. Yoonchae - she knows what to do on stage. But her expressions are not always syncing with the song and the group and fills most of her time with smiling. Idk if she thinks about the lyrics. She's good at performing but I can't feel the songs from her. Marquise - I think she has charms but haven't shown them in front of the camera. She can deliver everything only if she rose up to the moment. Idk if she have the mettle it takes.I think she will someday debut in kpop, but in this group is something I doubt. Sophia - she's good, strong. Eventhough I think we haven't seen enough from her, I can feel her presence and that's an impressive quality. She got what it takes to stand there. Manon - amazing vocals, naturally charismatic. But her expressions makes me wanna protect her from something. That low-key terrified face... She should embrace that charisma, it's going to waste at this point. Daniela - she can give me anything and I'll gladly take it. They wanted artistry and she gave it. I never thought much of her in the beginning but she's shining now. Nayoung - dynamic vocals. Her thoughts on becoming a soloist was low-key evident in the performance. A lack of team spirit was there. She have what it takes to be an artist/musician. Celeste - she's definitely improving but is a whole lap behind is what I think. Especially for buttons, she did good but everyone else was way more better.

U ain’t eat being shady to miss Samara at ur grown ass age

I need this review to be scathingg 🔥 no soft opinions

Kinginaapakabiasneto 😂

Samara doing the "if you want my future - forget my past" line. 🤔 Too soon, girlie.

MY TOP 6 Ezrela Sophia Lara Samara Daniela Yoonchae/ Nayoung. Emily Marquise Megan Ua Manon Celeste....

I know im not crazy but why does it aound oike Eunchae sung once and it sounds like Larq sung her other parts? Those cannot be the same voices lol.

Celeste 😍✨

Lara slayed!!!!!!❤❤❤

Yeah you're right about Manon. When I looked at her she looks like she's empty like a doll. She really needs to connect.

The Smeyes!!! I thought the same thing for Manon. I kept imagining Tyra Banks. 😭😭

WE NOT FORGETING HER PAST LMAOOOOO

im sure you know by now but its daniela not celeste, i found it funny😂

What is the song in your intro? I know there is two but I can't pinpoint it. They've been stuck in my head for ages hahaha I would really like to know

its daniela not celeste i think 😅 daniela is black curly hair and the pink one is celeste dont confuse me bro

13:14 i agree with u 100% when people point this out her fans get upset

Buttons is literally one of fav songs, so Im pretty strict on that performance, like I need to see justice, Daniella understood the assignment, I loved Manon too, everyone else didnt understand the assignment and what Buttons is about, Lara did so well in confident wow she better debut, Emily was the best in wannabe my eyes went to her mainly Marquiose is so underrated, I hope she gains confidence and shows us more, shes got huge potential Nayoung was bad, she was so awkward, ua cant sing at all

YOOOO THAT HARMONY HE MADE WAS SPECTACULAR 5:48

was he confusing daniella w celeste?

Babe that is not Celeste that’s Daniela

the samara shade 😭😭

Lexi dropped out right before they were to perform they did the Spice girls performance.They had fill in her parts. Lol and that was Megan you were pointing to not Celeste. Celeste is the one with pink hair. Daniella is a professional ball room dancer too.

Im like manon in facial expressions like i suck can u give me some advise to improve it ❤

I wonder how awkward it is between Lara and Samara now lol..

YOUR OPINION CONTINUES TO DIGRESS LMAO

Lara an Daniella are my favorites too
