SB19 has officially melted my brain...please enjoy 😅 FYI I accidentally called them Kpop a few times, but what I meant to do was simply compare the style in this song to styles I've heard in Kpop. I know they're a Ppop group :)
It's a satire and there is a cultural context as well. I was waiting for you to throw your hands up and give up😂But really, the 5 guys can sing, dance and rap. They are also self produced😊
The whole song and MV is a satire. It's their self expression and sums up their struggles and everything they went through..The unconventional/weird sound and structure is really intended that way. It's normal to be blown away😅.. if you're up to it, you can check out their Wish bus performance for Gento, that way you won't be distracted by the MV and focus on the song itself...
The whole video is a metaphor for hard work, the context of which is behind the struggle, one's determination and perseverance to achieve a goal or purpose, will help one succeed in the end.
so the baritone you thought they had is actually the same person as the bass, his name is Ken! he’s their bass and baritone in one, his range really is great and does the lower parts of their harmonies. his voice goes veryyy low but can also go quite high for his voice!
youll know they're filipinos if: 1. it's one of kind, unique and nothing youve seen or heard before bonus: they can all sing and i mean BEAUTIFULLY SING! they can all dance they can all rap they can all act they compose their own songs and they create their own videos without having to spend a million dolllars. 😊
I enjoy both K-pop and P-pop. K-pop MVs sound cleaner, with idols' voices sounding polished. On the other hand, P-pop, specifically SB19, has more textured and growly vocal tones. That's what I really appreciate about SB19's sound-the imperfections make it more authentic and distinctive.
Definitely you enhanced my SB19 experience. Your attention to every details made it fun to watch specially your reactions and amazement. I know it drove you crazy and your brain was overwhelmed. The lyrics will tell you the story of their hardships.
This MV was self-produced by SB19 once they formed their own company -1Z Entertainment (Pablo as the CEO). The boyz have more creative freedom to put their hearts and minds into their MV, its a big budget MV, I bet they put all their own money to get this MV out. Justin (the youngest) is the creative director, and each has an input for their part. Their MV always felt like a mini Movie, their MV trailer alone is a like a short film. The MV credits shows all the people involved in creating this AWESOME MV.
There's more to the lyrics and visuals/MV. These guys' songs are out of ordinary! Hope you can check out SB19 in The First Take. You will surely enjoy their Gento version!
Gento means gold and they are in a cave digging. It’s all metaphorical for their quest to improve their craft Thus the sounds you hear as background music of the digging sounds
Your brain melted because they are SB19 and predictably unpredictable!!! All of them are in the vocal line, they’re all rappers and all dancers. They even create their own MV! They’re their own genre on their own league! Each one has a solo career while managing their own Entertainment company.
They all sing, they rap, they are good dancers. They make their own musiic. They manage their own group/entertainment company. Pablo as the CEO/leader, the first guy in the mv.❤❤❤
Pablo mentioned that the idea for GENTO came from when he heard pick axe, metal clacking sounds so randomly. It turned into the gold mine dug site image and then the boom, GENTO. Gento is also a pun for Ginto (gold in Filipino) and Gento being a slang (ganito) for “like this”. Hence the gold theme too.
More SB19 please. They have ballads and they are live monsters. They eat CDs for meals 😂 and I believe that one of their strengths is their eargasmic harmonies! You're in for a delicious and diverse treat!.
GENTO is a about the journey of the Kings of PPOP. Their music really covers OPM ballad, HipHop, Pop Rock, EDM, Rap Rock with lots of Filipino cultural references through their lyrics and MV.
I was constantly giggling because I was anticipating you’re reaction when you thought the MV was crazy especially the Alien part. This is a satire theme perhaps more of filipino humor. I think this is what happens when the members are also the people behind this masterpiece. The members are the creative director, producers, song writer and choreographer themselves. Ofcourse with some professionals help. And what I’m really happy about is that, You’re the first reactor who used the piano to check the range of Ken(bass) as you know most reactors do high notes. Bass reactor meeting a Bass vocalist made my day. You must have not recognise Ken from other songs since he also has wide range. And yes SB19 doesn’t stick to a certain genre so you’ll always hear something different everytime you react to them. You can check out a live performance of this on Wish Bus(highly recommended)
I just love our PPOP KINGS ❤❤❤ And per Pablo the leader they use Satire type of music for GENTO kinda new and very unique. Mixed Genre in one song. GENTO - slang word for GANITO a Filipino language called TAGALOG. Can use as to a word play to GINTO - means GOLD. GENTO Like this! Hard work, Dedication, Perseverance, Passion, and Love for your craft and dreams. This is group has a diverse type of music from POP, OPM (Original PILIPINO MUSIC, Ballad, Hip Hop, Trap, R&B. EDM, House Music, and many more. They sing very well, Dance very well, rap very well. Writes and produce their own songs. Direct their own music videos. and many more. I would say this boys are naturally gifted and amazing artists on their own respective way. Each members has very distinctive vocal qualities and different ranges from deep (base) vocal fry, sub vocalist, mid-High vocalist to Countertenor. Amazing Thank you for this RV. Amazing ❤😊
Thanks Peter for the RV and laughing at your reaction sometimes open mouth. You should update SB19 always like recently they have an opening number at Asian Artist Awards like (Grammy) w/c Kpop, JPop attended in Philippines 🇵🇭 Arena with a Capacity of 55 K seats . You'll see the Kpop reaction how SB19 Live Raw Vocal Performance colla Jpop (Japanese Pop group) in dancing Gento. Hope to see you soon in other SB19 Video in Wish Bus 107.5 ❤
If you were overwhelmed by Gento, you should hear What? also by SB19. It sounds like a mashup of different songs. Also, they have ballads that are powerful and more structured.
Thanks for this analysis ❤. Gento MV is a satire, hence the funny music. So many Filipino elements, saying/proverbs, idioms and nuances. The story is about SB19 s journey, from humble beginnings to where they are now. They went through rigorous process just like gold to achieve their goals! Soooo amazing! 💙🔥💙
I love how you breakdown the different notes of how low and high they sing. Please do a reaction video of their live performances - Liham, Ilaw and Mapa
Oh yeah i'm back, you definitely need to check out their performance at the Asian Artist Awards. the actual TV broadcasted one. Probably the best performance i've seen in so long!
I listened to your analysis... I just want to comment.. this is the reason why #SB19 is so unique, differently awesome. 5 singers, 5 rappers and 5 dancers.
Thank you! i got more sense of the tech. aspects of Gento with ur comments. i got blown away with it d 1st time i heard it but ur comments gave more sense!
SB19 is a bunddle of 5super talented guys, , the leader Pablo is the writer of thier songs, , and justin is thier creative derictors, , they all works together for the concept of thier songs and choreo to the mv, ,
1 pablo-composer 2 josh-composer 3 stell-main vocalist and choreographer 4 justin-director 5 ken-composer-main dancer They are all singer, rapper and a lot character in every individuals ☺️👌
Wish bus dropped just recently SB19’s live performance of their song ILAW please react to it as it shows their vocal power and singing techniques in a mind blowing experince😊
Your analysis is cracking me up!!!! Yes, what is happening? And yet, I can't stop listening or look away. It's catchy, intriguing, and very entertaining. Love the beat and all of the rapping.
Gento is a double word play. Gento means like this and Ginto is gold. The song is about Doing hard work and digging deep within yourselves to reach you goal/ gold in you.
Thank you peter. This is what reactors like you helped cultural workers of any race , color, language or whatever thier sexual orientations , political beliefs be heared around the world. your unbiased and educational reactions are higly appreciated. Good job....
Sound Break 19 always captivates their audience with heartfelt lyrics whom they compose themselves, they are amazing group of boys who breaks all stereotypes in PPOP music industry, i love them first before i love their music cuz they are genuine people, humble and kind.
Hi Sir ..Glad that you reacted SB19. They are PPOP sir from Philippines. You mentioned 4x that they are KPOP.😂😂. To know them more please do react their live wish bus performance of ILAW means light. Thank you so much for the love.❤
Omg! Finally you came back to do action videos for SB 19. I watch your two other reaction sometimes several months ago and I’ve never seen anything after that from you. I remember sending you a request to react to their music and finally you did. Thank you very much.. You are one of my favorite reactors because you really know what you’re doing. Analysis of the music video. Very Interesting specially the way you analyze their Vocal performance, despite the many distractions on the production and instruments on this music video, you managed to analyze . Yeah, I agree this video is crazy but crazy In a good way . And I bet they spend so much money to come up with a good production like this. Their vocal talents are more Showcased With their other songs. If you wanna focus on the vocals, I recommend the following songs: Liham I want you Ilaw
SB19 is from the Philippines. It's Ppop, not Kpop 😊. And they can all rap and sing though most of the time, Pablo, Josh and Ken do the rap parts in their songs. Check out their Wish Bus performance of ILAW and LIHAM if you want a better showcase of their vocals. 😊❤
Peter, Mr. Bass, Peter.... i saw your great reviews of their MAPA & MANA songs on Wish Bus a year ago and shared them to people coz I learned A LOT from your analysis of their vocal techniques, then now you're telling us you didn't dip any further after that?! 🤷 You're melting my brain too 😂 why it took you this long haha. GENTO has been a sing and dance craze all over Asia since the later half of 2023. They've also done a US & North America tour late last year. The song is written by Pablo (the first singer/main rapper) and music is produced by Simon Servida, a Filipino musician in Canada. They got all original EDM, R&B, Ballads and all things Pop in that tour. They are now preparing for their 3rd EP/Album which is part of their trilogy. By the way, yes they are the pioneers of the new generation of Filipino pop, which is PPop. Well congratulations for discovering #GENTO and Thank you! I really enjoy yourndissection if their vocals & musicality ✨.
One of your subscribers here! 🇵🇭 I would suggest you have a SB19 playlist because your journey to this PPOP kings would be amazing so be ready my friend! ☺️ I want to watch your other reactions of SB19.
SB19 is self-managed group. They founded and managed their own company, 1Z Entertainment. 1Z stands for One Zone. Where Pablo the leader of SB19 serves as the CEO. SB19 is a Filipino Boyband or Pinoy Pop Kings from the Philippines 🇵🇭
SB19 are... Pablo- leader, CEO of 1z, composer, co producer of mostly of the song of SB19, including Gento, main rapper, he cal also hit high notes, he can only sing Stell- choreographer, main vocal Justin- sub main vocal, creative director Josh- lead rapper Ken- main dancer, base of the group They are hands-on in everything they do. They are self manage under 1Zentertainment that they owned.
MAPA,LIHAM,ILAW is my most favorite ballads of sb19.Please make an RV of this,thier live vocals is good and you can watched it performed it live in wish bus.
GENTO has one of those rare song with a lot of story in it. Specially the last part where the Alien is their S.Korean company (ShowBT) mining the SB19 members even thou the SB19 members isn't part of the ShowBT anymore. The Alien still want some CUT from the mine by using the SB19 name.
. Thank you for reacting our boys again. It's been a while. Sb19 is known for their live performance better than the studio recording. They're called live vocal monsters. All can sing even the rappers. Check out their live vocal skill on ballad songs : LIHAM, HANGGANG SA HULI. all on Wish Bus. They also have a R&B song with 2000s vibe, I WANT YOU. Live performance on Vevo and Wish Bus.
Thanks for a fun reaction and the analysis. Just showed further how amazing SB19 are in their music creation and as performers. You might want to check their latest performance from the Wish Bus for the song 'Ilaw' it is a ballad track so you'll hear more of their singing. Cheers!
It's been a while since your last reaction to SB19. If you're still not convinced of their vocal prowess, please react to ILAW in their wishbus performance.thank you for your very professional and musically inclined comments. I learned a lot.💯💙🙏
I feel funny listening to you react. I enjoy it overall, thank you! Looks like you really need to hear this song again. It's a MUST to see their Wish Bus performance of Gento. Would love to hear you react to that. Thank you and more power! New subscriber here.
Thank you for this reaction! Hope you can react to their live performance of the song, ILAW, on the Wish Bus. I think ILAW is one of their best songs. The lyrics are deep and their performance of this is always VERY moving. It’s a rock ballad. Ilaw means light (or spotlight, in this case).
Gento is a play of words like most of SB19 songs. Pablo the one who can sing & do the fast rap is the composer. Gento means like this or gold(ginto in Tagalog). You have to do hard work in mines to get gold which translates to all the hardwork the group went through to break the norms in Philippine music industry pushing their unique sound thus you hear the grit in both the beat & the delivery. Ken has a bass voice he is so versatile that he transcends that low bass voice & can hit the high notes with his falsetto. Stell is the main vocal insane vocal range. Josh & Justin can go low or high. They can all rap and sing and sounds way better in live performances that is the difference between KPop & PPop. Check out their Asian Artist Awards performance where other Kpop groups also performed. They devoured that stage.
You're pretty consistent and on point. Every SB19 RV you did, you singled out Stell's vocals. You seem to like his vocals the most. Oh I remember you said that in one of your RVs.😊
That is why SB19 is different from KPOP groups. They create songs to tickle your mind. You just have to get used to their style of music.Interesting mix of musical arrangement and lyrics filled with puzzling word play is what makes their songs so unique.
