this was definitely a sexier concept for Mamamoo. Kpop is very concept driven - so you will get groups putting out quite different styles of music while retaining their particular flavor. If you watch Red Velvet 'Dumb Dumb' or 'Red Flavor' and compare them to 'Peek-a-boo' or 'Bad Boy' you'd almost think they were different groups - Mamamoo's "1cm (Taller than you)" is a parody hip hop concept where they diss each other for being short even though there is barely a centimeters difference in their height. "Um Oh Ah Yeah" and "You're The Best" are both great songs/MV's and are different again. - welcome to the black hole of kpop lol
First a Mamamoo recommendation for some guitar trivia and to show you what their powerhouse vocals & rapping can do with a western song from the 60's you probably know: their performance of Tom Jones' Delilah on the tv show Immortal Songs 2. The guitarist cleverly uses a House of the Rising Sun style picking pattern during the first verse and then quotes from Concierto de Aranjuez just before all hell breaks loose on stage and jaws literally drop on screen as MMM blows the roof off the song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YJfC23ZZjNw.html A few notes about Egotistic. This song is the main single from the album Red Moon, which is the 2nd of an epic 4 album project Mamamoo is doing this year. Each album has a theme color & season, includes a solo song by one of the members, and the title of the album refers to that member. MMM has talked about using the 4 seasons and the 4 colors they've chosen as a means to explore different sides of themselves as artists. Red Moon = red, summer & Moonbyul, the primary rapper in the group. Egotistic is the Red song on the album, using the steamy sensuality of flamenco & reggaeton to express the qualities each member associates with red that we see in the MV: Solar (pole dancer, leader of MMM) = sexy, strong; Hwasa (w/jaguar, youngest member aka maknae) = fierce, uninhibited; Moonbyul (throws chair) = angry, confident; Wheein (fire starter) = tough, bad ass attitude. The lyrics are about taking a stand and defining themselves as independent women rather than as satellites of the lover who is so egotistic it makes them 'see red' with anger. If you've gotten this far and are interested in learning more about Mamamoo here are a few fun facts: They've done a wide range of musical genres extremely well: r&b, jazz, swing, hip hop, ballads, dance tracks, mixed style kpop concoctions, etc. Unlike many kpop groups they compose the music & write lyrics for some of their songs and always arrange the vocal parts & harmonies and do their own choreography, which earned them a rep as "self-sown idols" in contrast to agency manufactured & produced groups. They're generally considered to be one of the best if not the best vocal girl group in kpop. They're the only kpop group I know of with multiple wins on the tv show Immortal Songs 2, in which many of Korea's top mainstream artists compete by singing new arrangements of classic songs. Many idol groups have never appeared on IS2 and very few have won - idols rarely have the vocal chops to compete with mainstream solo singers & groups. The Mamamoo members are aka beagle-dols because of their extra hyper, out of control goofiness, randomness and unpredictability. Moonbyul is the primary rapper and Hwasa also raps on some songs but they can all rap. One of the best songs on Red Moon is a hilarious four way bitch fest dis rap called Sleep in the Car: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uQi06jTmhjo.html
Moon Byulyi is Moon Byutiful You're welcome. I wanted to give these guys more background info and share my crazy opinions so they'd have more to chew on as they get to know MMM. As you know, it's Easy to be blinded by the Starry Night visuals and lulled into a Midnight Summer Dream as you Sleep in the Car while parked in Love Lane but there's much more to our Girl Crush beagles than meets the big eye in the Sky! Sky! Imo everyone who likes kpop, moomoos included, should take a closer look at the current 4 album project. Eventually it will be known as a landmark achievement in kpop history. 😂
You got the pronunciation spot on. Mamamoo are known to be a vocal leaning group. Their live performances are among the best in kpop in terms of vocals. I definitely recommend checking out Yes I Am, Decalcomanie, Um Oh Ah Yeah and Youre The Best
yeah mamamoo is an older group so they don't do the cutsey stuff you see with twice. mamamoo is actually known as a vocal group since all four of them are strong vocalists although for some song genres (like this song) you can't really tell. many girl group members are there just for visuals so there might only be a couple of good vocalists in each group. I'm not really a fan of mamamoo but I've seen enough of them singing to know they would destroy 90% of other girl group members if up against each one on one in some competitive format. since you like putting in gifs, need to make one of of honan going 'ooooO' during that scene of solar (the blonde laying down in the colorful one piece) lol ;*)
Don't quote me on this, but I believe this mv was filmed in just a studio set in s.korea lol. If you end up watching Starry Night, they filmed that one in New Zealand. I don't wanna make this a thing, but if Honan knows how to play the guitar from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, i'd love to hear it in one of your next intros, would be sick.
Also, a couple BTS Notes about this MV: *Solar only had a SINGLE 1 Hour Pole Dancing Training Session before filming this MV. * The Cheetah & the Fire were all real & not CGI'd. The only actual CGI was the "Moon" Reflection in the Eye.
Yes mamamoo is a bit older, but you must know that groups are not attached to an specific style in kpop. Twice has a bunch of sexy dance stages as many other "cute" groups do. It can make you confused since groups make a cute comeback and then a sexy one with few months of difference... Mamamoo is not originally a sexy group, but known for being formed by four amazing vocalists. This song doesn't show much, but they are amazing powerhouse vocalists, except for the rapper. Would u follow my special request if I asked u? *plz* "Mamamoo - Wonderful Confession". There they sing it live on a show called "Immortal Songs", where singers make versions of popular korean songs and compete against each other. I bet it will make your chin drop.
They have other videos that are not too sexy. You can try and watch 'Um Oh Ah Yeh' or 'You're the Best'. This group is known for their great vocals, they do very good blendings and so much better sounding when they do live performances. Also, what fans like about them is that they are crazy and goofy behind the camera, unlike other girl groups who are reserved. They are not too older than Blackpink, their youngest is 23 and oldest is 27 (Blackpink's ages range from 21 to 24, I think), but definitely older than Twice, as some of Twice's members are still in their teens. There are other sexier groups than Mamamoo. Some examples are EXID, Sistar or Girl's Day, though they have cutesy concepts, too. KPop groups' MV, choreography or overall theme would depend on the concept they wanted their fans to see for the album they are promoting, so if yo watch all their vids, sometimes you would not recognize them.
Great reaction! Mamamoo is the best female Kpop group right now especially bc of their amazing live vocals-a rarity in the pop industry. Please react to some of their live performances as well as their mvs. Also these girls are the not only naturally sexy & charismatic; they’re super dorks & ridiculously energetic. It’s hard not to fall in love with them:) & they seriously can do any concept: sexy, cute, powerful, soulful... Aaanyway, thanks again & can’t wait for the 4minute reactions!
That’s it, I’m sold!! *hits the subscribe button* I really do love your reactions to K-pop music even though you guys are from the heavier side of music.
They can all rap sing dance and are definitely one of the more sexy groups. You should check out 1cm (taller than you) for all of them rapping as well as any of their other songs!
Bless you guys! Great reaction as always. Glad we could bring you further into the depths of k-pop. Soon you'll start stanning different groups and knowing all their names/everything about them lol
I commented on an other video before because I could not understand you voices volume wise. Just wanted to tell you that this now is perfect, thank you so much! I really enjoyed this video:)
Mamamoo has been super underrated over the years . They are amazing and in my opinion, they have the best vocals of any girl group in Kpop at the moment. They remind me of 2ne1. They are not afraid of their sexuality or being too edgy. Mamamoo needs to keep creating more music and solos . You guys should watch Hwasa’s “Twit” video.
this group is really strong vocally so their songs are always geared more towards strong vocals and not rap or dancing. Great Reaction, though! Pls react to 4minute's Hate! its a great song by a another strong girl group.
Mamamoo is so sexy in "Egotistic" but they're usually cute and quirky (E.G. "You're The Best" and "Um Oh Ah Yeah"). But, you should check SISTAR for sexy concepts: "I Like That" "Give It To Me" "Touch My Body." Or, you can't really go wrong with Hyuna.
Yes! Finally Mamamoo. Guys, if you think they're older than other Girl groups you might be surprised. I really like Mamamoo, you should react to "Decalcomanie" or "Starry Night " this girls have different concepts. 😘 BTW I'm in love each time you play that guitar. ☺
You have to watch the stuff from when their debut. Those are excellent, and you can get how they've transitioned into the sexier vibe. Their just very powerful and confident
Arigato Kiss Hwasa actually just turned 23! Blackpink and Twice are relatively the same age but Mamamoo's average is a few yrs older than the former two.
Yes, you said Mamamoo right! This girls are the best vocal group, they started with jazzy songs (songs like Mr.Ambiguous and Piano Man) and now are exploring new styles. My personal favorite is Decalcomanie and I can talk for hours because are my favorite group, hahahaha! I saw people recomending Sistar, if you like sexy conept you can check "I like that" :) And I will repeat this forever but you should see K.will - Please Don't and KARD - You in Me!
You guys should check out Mamamoo- 1cm & Your the Best. Their very different than this song and in my opinion they show Mamamoo's personality much better, they seem very sexy and mature in this song but in reality their like the silliest people.
mamamoo and red velvet both debuted in 2014 and 2 of their members are the same age dreamcatcher, mamamoo, red velvet are around the same age while blackpink and twice's average are a few years younger fjsndk
you guys are great!! definitely a new fan of you both. I would love to see you both react to cross genes black or white. it has a darker concept that I hope you might enjoy. thank you!!
Out of all my favorite groups, these girls are always #1! They have one the best vocals and rapping IMHO. I hope you guys react to more of their stuff. Their concepts are usually Retro R&B and Jazz. They are also known to be pretty hyperactive behind the scenes lolol
Mamamoo is probably the most talented vocal girls group right now. All the members can sing, and sing live incredibly well. They are often asked onto the more serous music programs like "immortal song 2". They just have incredible voices. Even their rapper could be a strong vocalist in most groups
They also probably have a sexier concept because their voices and overall maturity makes them feel comfortable doing these types of concepts. Hyuna and gain are also some kpop artist who have a much more sensual provocative style. Check out Troublemaker now, hyunas lip and hip, and gains lost paradise and you'll see what I mean. Troublemaker was a subunit of hyuna and an 8dol named junhyung (think I'm spelling it correctly)
veggiemonster 54 It's actually Hyunseung of Beast that did Troublemaker with Hyuna. He used to be the the lead vocalist/dancer of Beast before he left the group. Junhyung is the rapper/producer of Beast/Highlight. Hyuna and Junhyung are friends though, so it's probably normal to confuse them. 😊
love your reactions guys! you should check it out more 2ne1 songs i think, you'd love them more! Some recommends: 2ne1- ugly(has rock vibe) , 2ne1- falling in love(reggae summer hit), 2ne1- i love you( their only sexy concept) 2ne1- i am the best(their biggest hit) and 2ne1- happy( this is underrated )
Please react to the following. Taemin's goodbye performance version, flame of love dance version, move, and pinnochio Bts's: Blood sweat tears (dance practice), spring day (dance practice) fake love(dance practice), fire (dance practice)I need u, save me, dope Vixx's: scentist, fantasy, closer.
Oh god, this series speaks to my soul. I'm a metalhead and a kpopper and it's honestly the most frustrating thing lol You guys are doing great work, whatever you feel like doing next I'm down to see it. I'd definitely recommend more VIXX and Mamamoo down the road, they both offer a mixed bag when it comes to concepts and music styles. As far as recommendations, I'd like to throw in suggestions for Dramarama or Stuck by MonstaX and Clap or Don't Wanna Cry by Seventeen
Wheein and Hwasa are the maknaes (youngest) of Mamamoo . . . they're born in 1995, same year as the oldest members of Twice (Nahyun) and Blackpink (Jisoo).
These group is known for being a vocal group, wherein all of them can sing unlike other groups. They maybe a bit underrated but dude they're more talented than other famous gg now.😘
Seeing as how Kpop means quite a few things as far as genre styles go, if you're looking for something with a bit more of a rock flavor, check out "Mine" by Jaejoong.
If you like the Spanish influences of Egotistic, I think you'd also like Kard who are not only one of the few (if only) co-ed Kpop groups but also have a huge rap flair as the male half of the group are rappers. "Dumb Litty", "Red Moon", and "Bomb Bomb" are really good.
hi guys i would like you react again to Monsta X... what about "beautiful"? or "stuck"? or "fighter" lol i think you'll enjoy! btw you both are so handsome and makes me smile a lot with your reacts 🤘💖
Hiii! It's me again 😅 A similar introduction that Honan might like is FT Island's I Wish. Go take a look. So... I always make recommendations that are not popular because I'm an old fan of this genre and sometimes I end up not even listening to the songs of the moment. Maybe that's why you do not pay much attention to my comments #cry😭 But I still like you anyway 😘
Jessie Banana I love that group, I loved watching the switched parts in the choreography for some of the songs like BM and J.Seph are really into it and I love how extra BM is
Ellese Scheppers yeah I just started getting into them when my pandora kept playing their songs. They seem so fun, their choreo is really fun to watch, and their songs always feel so easy going and fun. Definitely a new favorite for me.
Mamamoo - Taller Than You Mamamoo - Sleep in the car Mamamoo - You're the best Mamamoo - Yes I Am 2ne1 - Crush CL - Baddest Female 2ne1 - I don't care (rock version) EXO - Growl Block B - Nilili Mambo Block B - Jackpot Block B - Nalina
check out TVXQ, they're an older group and the first ones i got into over 10 years ago! i recommend their probs most popular song Mirotic ( also balloons, my all time fave but it's very cutesy so..) and maybe some of the newer stuff like A Chance Of Love and Humanoids! (also AYY drug restaurant!!! i went to see them on their first Europe tour and they were amazing and even came to the after party just to chill with us haha)
Comeback concepts can vary wildly...just compare BTS Fake Love to some of their older stuff like Bulletproof Pt. 2. You should add CLC to your list of girl groups to check out! They're really underrated.
This is probably the one and only time they've been OBVIOUSLY sexy. Before they were kinda moderating between cutesy and traditional/older. Solar the blonde is 27 y old
more oleeee!!!!, but this time it's because the instrument of my land sounds. Spain BICHO MALO!!! = BAD BUG !!! jajajajaja in spain it is said when a boy is bad ;P
Should checkout one of their new songs Wind Flower or Gogobebe. Hwasa from the group put out a solo last month that’s worth watching too. It’s called “Twit”.
