if you want to get more of an idea of their raw vocals I'd recommend watching some of their recording behind the scenes videos, particularly feel my rhythm I think you'd be able to learn more of their individual tones
i recomment Red Velvet recording behind the scenes Queendom, Feel My rhythm and crazy crazy production of Birthday. and it will obviously be 100% raw live vocals lol
The bright smiles on the girls faces when Wendy delivered her first line (since her accident) in MILKY WAY was so heartwarming. That was a real celebration of Wendy's determination and courage to get back to her sisters. A real "I'm not crying your crying" moment for me.
This is also why there is no close up shot of Wendy in this video. The effort she spent on her body (as seen during Zimzalabim) was all lost during recovery and she did not want to be seen that way.
Everytime I see Wendy with the blonde hair I think snow fairy and it's your fault!! This format was nice. Seulgi, say it like sewl-gee with a hard g. You have to remember they are known as the concept queens as they do not really have one concept and its always different. Everything they do just works. The 2022 medley would be Feel My Rhythm (you will gush over it I am sure), Wildside (JPOP song) and Birthday (Just released a month ago). They also have behind the scenes for each song. First year medley would be Happiness (their debut song from 2014 before Yeri officially joined), Be Natural and then Ice Cream Cake where Yeri officially debuts. Mind you they have a video for Automatic then as well you should not miss. In Russian Roulette the ladies are vying for the same guy apparently and are trying to get each other out of the way. Irene wins which is shown by being shot with the heart. Remember it is cartoon violence thusly the cartoons involved. Just so you know they are officially known as witches in the SM Concept Universe. You see that in Queendom.
I think you will love wendy(snow fairy)more. I recommended a song called “ be deep” it’s duet song and genre is pop classical. Yeah wendy sang this genre.
yay! i've been waiting for you to react to some of their music. fun fact they actually sing the adlibs towards the end of peek-a-boo live during performances. if you have time I recommend watching their behind the scene video of they're recording of Feel My Rhythm and Birthday cos they are serving vocals there, I think you'll enjoy those types of contents. You can see how much work they put on the backing vocals and layering, and how much Wendy takes the lead during recording and how much her members respect her opinion and ideas regarding vocal direction. Also since you love Wendy, try checking out the song Time After Time it was just released last month it's a collab for their label's winter album, Wendy sang with Boa who's the original artist of the song Milky Way and Ningning of aespa another great vocalist. It's such a great song that is vocal heaven
I agree with Time After Time, SO nice! I would also suggest Priority, with Taeyeon of Girls Generation, Winter of Aespa , and Max Changmin of TVXQ. Also I think Julia would enjoy Wendy's solo songs "Like Water" and "When This Rain Stops".
You should definitely check out some of their recording behind the scenes videos. You get to hear a lot of little details and harmonies that are more buried in the final product. And you get to really hear their voices individually too!
saw you saying you want to spend more time on rv’s harmonies for your next red velvet binge in 40:37 and i def recommend RBB (really bad boy) and WILDSIDE for this!!!!! also, really enjoyed this video and im glad you enjoyed the group too 🫶🏼
Red Velvet has recording behind videos of Feel My Rhythm, Queendom and Birthday (most recent) here in YT!!! The layers of raw vocals make me feel like ascending
Love that you are getting more into Red Velvet as they are recognized as one of the most vocally strong GG in Kpop along with Mamamoo so its fun to watch you enjoy and explain some of the technical aspects. Check out more of their Velvet side with Automatic, One of these nights and some of their Bsides like Kingdom come, Perfect 10 and So Good to hear a bit more variation on their tones and how good they are at playing with their voices and their strengths! Also if you can take a look at some of their recording behind the scenes! Love the content!
Well, I love Red Velvet, so this was an absolute joy to watch. I’d definitely like to see you tackle more of their stuff! Ice Cream Cake is actually very harmonically interesting; would encourage you to try that. Really Bad Boy has some incredible vocal range and ‘dolphin notes’. Dumb Dumb and Rookie also great tracks! Also check out their latest hit Birthday; the layering is amazing. They published a ‘behind the scenes/recording’ video for Birthday - and to see their techniques for layering and Wendy in the studio may be worth a video by itself.
Wendy recently did a live performance of the song "Time After Time" with 2 other amazing singers from her company, BoA and NingNing. I really recommend it! The husky/raspy voice of BoA is such a nice contrast to the bright and powerful voices of Wendy and NingNing. Sadly, the audio doesn't really have the crisp live quality to it since it was edited even though Wendy comfirmed they sang live >:( but the vocal gymnastics are still impressive and worth listening to.
Thanks for reacting to this, Julia. Red Velvet is a pretty eclectic and special group. Unfortunately, ( and I'm saying this as a fan of the genre ) there are a LOT of Kpop groups that wouldn't have careers if it weren't for lip-syncing and auto-tune. It's acceptable there at a level that would absolutely not fly in America. Fortunately, SM Entertainment ( who RV is part of their roster ) care a bit more than most do about making sure their talent is properly trained before they debut. Vocally, Red Velvet and Mamamoo are pretty much top of the heap.
Red Velvet and Mamamoo have SO many cross-over fans, and rightly so. They are theme-wise, very different groups, yet they have (arguably) THE top third-generation female vocal lines.
@@gomezgomezian3236 I didn't say it wasn't. It's just way worse in Kpop Lip-syncing is simply accepted there now. It's a rare occasion when you find a group there actually singing live without at least a backing-track.
Even tho there’s much less creepy elements in Queendom, there’s still a couple subtle creepy things like when Seulgi is playing in the sand there’s a dead body half buried next to her and Joy goes from a smile to sinister glare before bringing her umbrella down at one point
About Wendy's accident... Basically her whole being as human, be it body and mental is damaged. Not only face, broken pelvis and wrist, I'm sure there's another major injury they never tell because fans are worried to death. During fanmeeting, fans who attend afraid to ask even cry so much. 2 years I can't enjoy Christmas because of that reminder. Thank God she's back 1000% stronger now.
You're over exaggerating there. People break their bones every day and make a full recovery after time. Wendy received no permanent injuries. Mentally she's fully recovered, if not she wouldn't have returned. Stop freaking out so much, injuries are a part of life and almost everyone recovers from them.
I remember being so pissed that whole month and all wluvs teamed up on sbs twt(literally canceled). also tbh when her solo album released god I was sobbing, my face puffed from crying after listening to the full album especially when this rain stops
@@notsoptimistic I can't sleep for 3 days until fanmeeting.. I knew a Wluv who ha sleep trouble for 3 weeks and needed meds. Remember when we did a President petition signing for them to investigate sbs? We got a lot support from other fandoms.
Milky Way was the first ot5 content after Wendy's accident. You can see how happy they are to have her back. From left to right during Milky Way are Joy, Yeri, Irene, Seulgi then Wendy Queendom was their first official comeback a year after Milky Way and 20 months after the accident Queendom has a recording behind the scenes as does their 2 Korean comebacks "Feel My Rhythm" & "Birthday" Seulgi also released a solo ep recently
Some group members have reacted to each other's solos on the Red Velvet channel; Joy and Wendy reacted to Wendy's solo song 'Like Water' after she was finally back from her more-than-a-year healing time. Wendy and Joy also reacted to Joy's solo 'Hello'. More recently the entire group got together to react to Seulgi's solo '28 Reasons'. :)
"Automatic" is a favorite, and "Be Natural" is also good. These are on their 'velvet' side and released really early after their debut. Great reaction! I appreciate the explanations and appreciation for musicality.
So, if you didn't know Red Velvet as a group has two core concepts that they go between: they have the more poppy bubblegum Red side and the more r&b, soul based Velvet side. You ended up listening to a lot of the Red songs, I think it would be interesting to see what you think of their Velvet songs throughout the years.
It's so amusing to see you face while reacting to "Russian Roulette" MV. It's so quirky and risky that I found particularly satisfying. The lyrics (and by extension the MV) compares winning one's heart to playing a game of Russian Roulette where the contest harbors no mercy to your opponent.
People know well red velvet as "Rich vocal group" as a title. Not because 5 of them have greatest voice, but their skill do layer and backing all their own songs are why they called that. I hope you can to check their behind recording song, to listen how best them to layering every part in their songs
obligatory "Red Velvet has two 'sides' to their songs - a brighter, lighter concept (Red) and a more mature, R&B concept (Velvet)" comment. So they actually go back and forth between Russian Roulette-style and Bad Boy-style songs - though they haven't gone full Red again on their latest works. Since you love their harmonies, it's worthy checking their latest mini-album, Birthday - some very good examples on their B-sides!
red velvet is just so good!! their vocals are amazing and they’re super talented. their songs are so diverse and that’s what makes it fun. you never know what comes next which is exciting
Not me laughing my ass off seeing your reaction on the murder aspect lol. Also when you see Wendy walking out by herself in Queendom you know something special is gonna happen. You need to listen to Hit That Drum by them if you really want to hear Wendy's belting and yes there's a live performance of it.
Please watch their Recording Behind series. You can watch it in your own time if you don't have time to make an analysis video. I guarantee you'll love their vocal more💙
I really loved this binge analysis! I wish you could have more of these with red velvet 💖 Someone already explained but Red Velvet's songs are usually separated as being a "Red" or a "Velvet" track. It's also pretty common for RV songs to have really thick layers, i hope you could react to more of them! They have lots of great bsides that showcase more of their vocals too. If i could suggest a list of "velvet" tracks, i wish you could listen to Automatic (r&b), One Of These Nights (i think u will find this song pretty interesting :>), and La Rouge(!!! The richness of their vocals here is 😩 and wendy just goes offf w her runs) Speaking of wendy and her vocal greatness, she just had a song collab w queen Boa and Ningning of Aespa 😁 it's called Time After Time; the belts from the three of them there and the song in general is just amazinggggg maybe someday you'd be interested in reacting to it too! Thanks again for this reaction i thoroughly enjoyed hearing your comments 💙💙💙
Very fun reaction! And these actually aren't even close to being their most interesting songs, vocal or songwriting-wise. If you react to them again, in regard to their title tracks with MVs, I definitely recommend Dumb Dumb, Feel My Rhythm, One Of These Nights, Really Bad Boy, Sappy. If you're interested in some of their album-tracks (K-pop tends to be focused on the title tracks, but RV is especially known for having consistently great and varied albums) I recommend Kingdom Come, Don't U Wait No More, La Rouge, Cool Hot Sweet Love, Light Me Up, Red Dress, Butterflies, Sassy Me, Lucky Girl, Look, Sunny Side Up... honestly way too many to mention, but you can't go wrong with any of them. Also adding my vote for their behind the scenes recording videos. They have them for Feel My Rhythm, Queendom and Birthday, and it's like 20-30 minutes of them just recording their lines in the studio. And the extra cool thing is that a fan then took and edited and stacked together all of their separate lines from the recording videos into full "recording versions" of the songs. That could be interesting, to react to the original music video, then to the recording process, and finally to the "recording version" and compare.
Don't try to make any sense out of Red Velvet videos. It is glorious bubblegum-homocide-pop. They are interdimensional space witches that run a lost and found and have a magical traveling circus amusement park called the Revefestival, or maybe Irene has them all in some kind of Matrix. The Radish farm seems to be just outside the circus on account of the fact that Moomoos and Reveluvs seem to naturally get along unlike any other fandoms. My life was simpler when I just listened to Zeppelin.
WHAT A NEW YEAR GIFT!! Thank you so much for reacting to Red Velvet! They are an amazing, versatile and talented group. Im so happy you chose to react to them out of so many groups. Big thank you for appreciating them
Not sure if you knew this as you did not mention it...Red Velvet has 2 distinct concepts. Red - is there bouncier/brighter songs/concepts while Velvet/Black - is their darker/adult songs/concepts Also...Seulgi - in the Korean Language most "e"s are silent ...that said, those with the last name Lee...this is pronounced as EE
I really like you. The journey of thinking Joy has a thinner voice and then finding out she has the agility to go full and heavy. It’s funny coz she went from the rap duo then the vocal line throughout her RV days. I feel like your review is more genuine. I just watched another reviewer prior and i can see they’re just agreeing to get more of the fanbase to watch them. At least that’s the vibe i get. For the layers, if you watch their bts for their recordings, it’s mostly layering with their own voices tho… maybe watch In My Dreams coz they did that one live once. I’d be very much interested to hear your analysis on their live live. Cheers!
Very happy you made another reaction video for RV. Your opinions are highly valued. I really do hope you'll make something like this again soon. You should definitely check out their bsides 'cause they're such gems 💙 Thanks for this wonderful reaction video. I appreciate this a lot
I love this format. You can check out a big variety of songs from one group. If it‘s about vocals, there is so much to find out about Red Velvet and their crazy discography. They never repeat one concept, that‘s why it‘s so fun to listen to them. For your next Red Velvet binge i highly recommend you check out their latest releases: Birthday, Feel My Rhythm and Wildside (their japanese release). And for old releases i recommend: Dumb Dumb and RBB. You‘re gonna be in vocal heaven if you dismantle their vocal layers and ad libs in these songs 🤭
You should continue reacting to Red Velvet. The group's discography is one of the best. You'll also be in for happy surprises as you listen to one song after another 😍
Hey Julia, love this reaction. I'm glad you enjoy this binge format bc I also enjoy it 😆 Like you said, you can see the progress if you watch several videos from different eras. Hope to see more amazing girl group contents from you 😁🫶🏼
love ur reactions and how you actually make some detailed points instead of just randomly saying words that has nothing to do with the vocals. also loved that u brought up about wendy and how amazing she is to still cb stronger even after going through all of that, cuz of the unfortunate incident. also a request..you should react their live performance clips and recording behinds if u can. those showcase their vocals more. wendy sounds even better in live settings
So, Red Velvet’s concept is actually that they’re always changing concepts! They never give us exactly the same thing twice. Their concepts are classified as either Red (bright, bubbly, poppy, etc.) or Velvet (dark, sultry, R&B, etc.). Here’s their title tracks in order so you can see how they bounce around: 2014… -(Debut) Happiness R -Ice Cream Cake R -Automatic V -Dumb Dumb R -One Of These Nights V -Russian Roulette R -Rookie R -Red Flavor R -Peek A Boo V -Bad Boy V -#CookieJar V -Power Up R -RBB V -Sappy R -Zimzalabim* -Umpah Umpah R -Psycho V -Monster V -Queendom R -Feel My Rhythm* -Wildside V -Birthday R -ChiII KiII V *There’s a lot of debate as to whether or not Zimzalabim and Feel My Rhythm are one or the other. So, I classify them as both lol But yeah, they’re constantly changing up their concepts, genres, production styles, etc. Being a vocal group, like Mamamoo, they’re able to explore multiple aspects of music. And “Feel My Rhythm” is like a thank you song to music and all it encompasses ❤️ Edit: I forgot to include “Wildside”. Their Japanese releases are wicked underrated and don’t get the acknowledgment they deserve.
Thanks for this reaction, I know the focus is on their voices but I have to do a honorable mention to the reactions to some random moments like: 7:31 and 13:22, just the facial expressions are so damn funny xD Red Velvet mvs always have some very weird elements I would love to see your reaction to Rookie (more to the weirdness of the whole thing but I really like the vocals too) and Feel My Rhythn is a must watch! such an amazing and interesting song
Highly Recommended. Red Velvet: Really Bad Boy, Feel My Rhythm, Birthday, Umpah Umpah, Red Flavor Wendy: Like Water, When The Rain Stops Wendy & John Legend: Written In The Stars Wendy, BoA & Ningning: Time After Time
Some ‘velvet’ songs to check out. One of These Nights. Eyes Locked, Hands Locked Perfect 10 La Rouge Also RBB and Feel My Rhythm & Feel My Rhythm recording behind
Please check out Wendy along with SM Entertainment's other main vocalists in GOT The Beat "Stamp On It" and "Step Back"!! SM is known for their vocalists. Their recent album SMCU Palace is a vocal flex!!
We've missed your kpop reactions. Recommend reaction to Exo's Chen and Baekhyun "Really didn't I know" live, IU killing voice, and new kpoo stuff (Le Serafim live Mama, New Jeans live with band etc).
Hey Julia, love your breakdown on vocals and insightful commentary. Please react to Red velvet on Dingo music (30 min medley of their songs) called Killing Voice and also Wendy on Lee mujin service. This will give you a fair idea of their live vocals. I would also recommend you to watch the recording behind the scenes of Queendom, Feel my rhythm and birthday. Those videos are amazing if you wanna dig deep into raw vocals, harmonies etc.
thank you for this, i'm learning a lot as a non-singer (lol) i recommend wildside, really bad boy, and zimzalabim too plus their recording for their songs
the Gem is on their B-side honey.. Vocals adlibs and snow fairy singing like she's The best Female vocalist.. 😏 oh Recording behind too.. you'll love it.
Absolutely love this format and adore all the songs u listened to. Out of there more recent stuff, I think u would really be able to appreciate “feel my rhythm” and a song they have called “time to love” that they’ve recently released a live performance of, that are just absolutely beautiful. Edit: of course if copyright allows that is
Ace channel mate. But it has to be said, no Dio on this channel yet? A polite suggestion for the future would be literally anything by him as he is astonishing. 🤘
Please do another video of Red Velvet, especially their Recording of title tracks Behind video. Im sure you will appreciate their techniques and how much hardwork and detailing they put in their craft.
Hi :D i came back to this video to tell you that they released a killing voice, i would love you to react to it if you got time, since it's a great opportunity to hear them live. (And hear all the developments they had over the years)
Oh yes, pls. React to their recording behind the scenes too! It's a real treat. Thanks for this medley reaction Julia 🙏😆😇 happy new year! p.s they have recording behind the scenes for these songs (queendom, feel my rhythm, birthday)
red velvet has 2 sides, red who is more poppy and brigth and velvet that it's more mature and kind of r&b, and sometimes they have red velvet who is difficult to put in one of those sides. Also it's true! red velvet has SO MANY adlibs and harmonies, if you listen to their discography their music has so many layers that it feels so full to listen to them. If you want to see how much work they put into de back vocals you should watch their recordings behind, queendom, feel my rhythm and birthday have them, everytime i watch them im even more in love with red velvet
Thank you for this, Julia! I love Red Velvet, and I also learned some things, so this video was really a joy to watch! Will be waiting for your next one! As some have commented, you might like watching their behind the scenes when they are recording! Red Velvet is really a great group, even their b-sides do not disappoint.
This was such a fun video to watch! Definitely loved your reactions but the analysis of the way they used their voices was *chef kiss* I agree with the other peoples comments that you should to listen to their b-sides and the behind the recording you won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much for your time and I can’t wait for the next video.
thanks for analysing RV's music!!!! Do react to KINGDOM COME (2018 B-sides), RBB (2018 Title song w M/V), LA ROUNGE (2019 B-sides), IN&OUT (2019 B-sides),FEEL MY RHYTHM (2022 Title song w M/V), and the latest release Birthday (2022 Title song w M/V)!!! These are some of the songs that i think that worth to analyse for their vocals and etc. And of course there are some recording behind such as Queendom, Feel my rhythm and Birthday!!! I am really appreaciate and glad to see you analysing any songs of RV!! Thankyou sooo muchh! Really look forward to the next video! ! sry for my broken eng
I would LOVE to see you react to their most recent comebacks: Feel My Rhythm and Birthday. They are definitely worth the listen vocally. It would also be really cool to see you react to their Recording Behinds for Queendom, Feel My Rhythm and Birthday because you get to listen to their raw vocals and the building of their harmonies. Thank you for this Binge-Analysis, I've been waiting for more Red Velvet content from you! Excited for the next!!
In a lot of ways Russian Roulette is a typical kpop song. It's bright and cheery and everything kpop. The brilliant thing is the mv is very dark. It's starts at the first shot with Wendy setting Seulgi on fire but you don't even notice. It's not until the bridge that it becomes clear that they're killing each other. It's my favorite video of Red Velvet
To quote AL: "it's alot more free form and relaxed". I agree one hundo percent with this. It's an entirely different vibe and I'm totally here for it! That said I obviously don't dislike the other format but this is sooo chill.
I really enjoyed this format and it seemed like you were having a lot of fun too, so it seems like a win win! It was an unexpected treat to see you coming back to Red Velvet, and to watch your expression as you discovered how quirky/creepy some of their concepts can be! It was particularly interesting to see you analysing how their voices have developed over the years.
