Throughout the two MVs I think you pointed out liking everyone at some point except Wendy lol, it it may just be that you liked a part but Wendy wasn’t on the screen at the time. You hop all over the place picking people you like lol, you like them in one mv then not the next haha
@@SirAustin to get to know their vocals just watch their live vocals of physcho at a fan meeting where they sing with no backing track. You will really appreciate it
I love how you basically were like "she's my fave, no she's my fave, no she's my fave" and you went thru all the members kdhfkjahsdf welcome to reveluv life
Red Velvet has two concepts they switch between. "Red" and "Velvet" Red concepts are like Umpah Umpah. Other examples are Red Flavor, Dumb Dumb, Ice Cream Cake, and Rookie. Velvet concepts Psycho fits this as does Peek-A-Boo. But really good examples are Bad Boy, Really Bad Boy (different songs), Automatic, Be Natural, One of these Nights.
I'd categorize RBB as more red than velvet; it's about tempo more than lyrics or MV setting. Either red or velvet songs can have a spooky/creepy component, every day is Halloween for these girls...
@@casualsuede I was really torn on whether he meant Seulgi or Wendy because of all the camera cuts and how much they back each other up and swap melodies between verses. Suddenly a random background ad lib will be pointed out and it just happens to be Seulgi that time lol
@@lemuelrico2857 It's Wendy and Seulgi. In this song the background vocals are done mostly by wendy and seulgi. If they require agility, it's wendy. Come on it's literally wendy's job to do the more difficult stuff.
Wendy also has a song with John legend called “written in the stars” if you want to hear just her vocals so you can decide if you like her voice or not. Great song too.. her and John legend doing vocal harmonies and counter melodies is heavenly
Seulgi has the more nasally voice, and her and Wendy are the ones who do most of the adlibs (seulgi was doing the adlibs that you said you liked, despite you not liking her voice during the other part).
The pink haired girl in Russian Roulette and the girl behind the wheel (and in the pink swimsuit) in Umpah Umpah are both Irene! And the red head in Russian Roulette is Yeri the maknae! The one who did the run in Umpah Umpah was Wendy (her and Seulgi do a lot of the runs in RV songs) and the one in the green swimsuit was Joy! In age order: Irene - Leader, Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Vocalist, Visual, Center Seulgi - Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist Wendy - Main Vocalist Joy - Lead Rapper (but doesn't rap much anymore), Vocalist (would consider lead now) Yeri - Rapper (would consider her lead now), Vocalist and Maknae
Please do red velvet “bad boy” “automatic” “be natural” and “one of these days” for more of their vocal oriented songs. Also, the BEST showcase for their vocals (imo) is their song “kingdom come” - please react to a lyric version of it. Some other suggestions would be “ladies night” and “sunny side up!” For good vocals and really good songs Edit: “one of these nights”***
Four songs were mentioned in the lyrics of "Umpah Umpah": Dumb Dumb Red Flavor Happiness (you've already reacted to this) Ice Cream Cake You might want to consider reacting to those.
btw irene and seulgi recently formend a sub unit and they released two mvs : monster and naughty! 9:46 , the one doing the run in the background is their main vocalist wendy :)
2:17 The red haired one is Yeri, the pink haired one is Irene, and the orange haired one is Seulgi Irene and Yeri are rappers (Irene is the main rapper and Yeri is a sub rapper, she also sings, Irene is sub-vocalist, Seulgi is lead vocalist) The driver girl is Irene Also, the yellow-orange haired girl is Joy (lead rapper, sub-vocalist) she rapped more when they debuted (like the early days) but yeri got added to the group a year later and Joy improved in singing so yeri is kind of lead rapper and joy is lead vocalist but it’s not official Members (in age order): 10:03 was Irene 10:19 was Seulgi 9:44 was Wendy (Main Vocalist) 10:07 was Joy 9:55 was Yeri
Yeri may do some raps for Red Velvet but her vocals are no joke. Have you heard her solo song that she wrote and composed her self and even worked on the MV for? Called Dear Diary
RV debuted at what I would call the cusp of 2nd and 3rd generations, they are more 2nd Gen in concepts. At the time, being _the rapper_ was kind of the kiss of death for getting a fair share of lines (even though every group "had" to have a rapper or rap line), so they didn't declare anyone to be _the rapper,_ they kind of pass that duty around on a song-by-song basis (the way SNSD passes around a live mic during interviews, LOL). 3rd Gen is making a lot of headway on the second-class status for rappers, witness Mamamoo & (G)i-dle. MMM also debuted at the same cusp, but is more 3rd Gen than 2nd.
RV is probably one of the best groups to do a MV deep dive on (besides Mamamoo) because their title track history is really varied and diverse! You never know what you'll be expecting! I can't wait til you react to Bad Boy, Zimzalabim, Red Flavor and Dumb Dumb! Also I'm really surprised you found 'psycho' that weird! It seems like a pretty standard 90s style R&B song! RV besides Mamamoo are one of the only groups that can do good 90s style R&B! They have a really popular B Side called 'kingdom come' that you might want to do a seperate video on! Also their bsides are really good too in general!
7:52 her name is Irene! She's the one with purple hair in Russian Roulette! The visual of the group obviously that's why she's soooooooo beautiful! Best leader too 💗
I can't wait for the time you'll encounter Zimzalabim. That song is a rollercoaster. You might be confused when you first hear it, but after hearing it for multiple times, you'll definitely get hypnotized.
If you want to hear their voices clearly check out their cover of " Milky Way ". This will show you how really amazing their vocals are and their harmonies.
There's a saying goes "No one sounds like Red Velvet when they sing together". Since you are a Vocal Coach, the best MV's you can react is One of These Nights and Milky Way (Red Velvet made a a cover of their company sunbae BoA's 20th debut anniversary). These two songs really flex their vocals and I'm sure you're gonna love it. when in terms of vocal performance, Red Velvet and Mamamoo are reallyyyyyyyy the top tier among all groups no one really comes close. Tbh you can't really choose who's much better among the two coz both two groups can showcase a godly vocals but if you're gonna choose one member who's the best vocalist among these girls, it's gonna be Wendy. She has the widest vocal range in KPOP from Eb3 - Eb7 ( the only kpop idol with 4 octaves,), her low register is also a chef's kiss (Kingdom Come, Red Velvet's b-side, their low registers note here is 🔥) her vocal technique and stability is on a another level despite having a vocal nodules before and during her debut(we only know recently that she had a vocal nodules during debut, an SM vocal coach revealed it but still her "Shine on Me" high notes in Happiness still gives us goosebumps) Almost every fandoms accept that Wendy is really the best vocalist of her generation to the point she's on par with Girls' Generation Taeyeon, one of the best vocalist in Kpop as well. (i mean no wonder they're in the same company, SM Entertainment the land of best vocalists in KPOP). You might not be fond Wendy's YET but i'm sure you will after reacting to more songs of Red Velvet. 💖 btw those back vocals and adlibs that you like and praising, that is Wendy's voice. Thank you for reaction! I hope you do more of Red Velvet's coz believe me or not. once you're IN in the fandom there's no going out. 💖
You should definitely react to their official debut as five, Ice Cream Cake and the counterpart song, Automatic, since both have videos and it's basically their start. They had a gorgeous ballad called One of These Nights, if you want to hear more of their Velvet vocal side. Then you got Dumb Dumb which is a super wild song, also Bad Boy which is more in line with American pop rnb music. IF you want super catchy summer bops, Red Flavor and Power Up are your best friends. Can't remember if you reacted to Peekaboo, but that song is so excellent I'm shook just thinking about it. And as always, I recommend if you end up liking them a lot, check out their albums and their bsides, because those are the ones that really really hook you up.
Russian Roulette and Umpah Umpah? Looks like we're dipping into the Red concepts this time. I'm down for it. Also yeah Devil and Russian Roulette have similar concepts for their videos. CLC's was a bit more like mean pranks vs RV's which is more like trying to murder each other...lol
If I understand the plot of Russian Roulette correctly, they all like the same guy and they're trying to remove the competition. I don't know if this has ever been confirmed but it seems to be the most popular theory among Reveluvs.
Yes!!! My top 3 groups are Dreamcatcher, Mamamoo, and RV, and I discovered them in the same order as you have hahaha. RV has kind of become my #1, at least right now. I second everyone else's suggestions as well as the b side butterflies (interesting vocals going on in this one i think), sunny side up, my second date, and irene & seulgi's subunit tracks!! Much love
Russian Roulette is one of their "older" songs, while Umpah Umpah is fairly new - when you are more familiar with RV you'll see they refer to the titles of many of their hits in Umpah Umpah. Red Flavor is probably their biggest hit in Korea, while Bad Boy was a huge international hit (just like Psycho). They've now become known for both summer bops (like Sistar used to) and Halloween hits, since Halloween is coming up I recommend Peek-a-Boo and RBB (Really Bad Boy) for that date with its heavy halloween/horror theme. Reckon you'll change your mind about Wendy given time, she's pretty amazing. She did a duet with John Legend called Written in the Stars, for all the collabs between western and korean artists it wouldn't be wrong to say this is the strongest. To hear their live vocals they did a cover of Milky Way by BoA recently, also Psycho @ReVe festival finale just before they were forced to take a hiatus due to Wendy's stage accident are both recommended. Both are done sat down. Musically Red Velvet, Mamamoo, Dreamcatcher and soloist IU are the most interesting for me in k-pop
It's always hard to hear someone like your bias the least but it's okay, we have biases for a reason! Maybe you don't like Wendy's lower tone as much, but she's the one doing the vocal riffs! As a moomoo and a reveluv, I hope you react to more of them in the future!
the velvet these girls serve in the album b-sides 💯👑👌🏆🌓🔥™💘💖✨🎢🎀💎🎓💋🔮🔊🎙🏹🩸💣⚰📀🕯💰✒📈☠ dont do it for us, do it out of self love, Kingdom Come or Stuck on You or Rose Scented Breeze, really ANY WILL DO ask anyone you trust and they'll agree with me on that, they can seriosly take you into a higher plane of existence 😵
Also just a side note for future videos. A lot of older videos for a lot of SM artists (Red Velvet, Exo, TVXQ, SHINee, Super Junior, Girls Generation, etc) don’t have subtitles on the original videos. They were pretty inconsistent with subs back then (not just SM but some other companies too) and didn’t start consistently uploading subs until around 2017, but there are unofficial channels that reuploaded the older music videos with the subs if you’re interested.
So happy to see that you have reacted to more Red Velvet! While I and all other Reveluvs hope you will go through the entire catalogue eventually, perhaps these four very different songs show how they can cover many genres - "Bad Boy", "Zimzalabim", "One Of These Nights" and "All Right". I'm sure you will end up going through Irene and Seulgi's sub-unit material as well. Looking forward to you covering more Red Velvet!
Wow thanks bout this I didn't expect you'll do one after watching your reaction to Happiness and Red Velvet. With Red Velvet you just really have to go your way through their discography since they are very diverse to find what suits your personal taste more 🥰
Yeah, that beautiful driver girl from Umpah Umpah is our queen and savior Irene, Leader of The Group, Main Rapper, Sub-Vocalist, Lead Dancer, Main Visual, Face of The Group and Main Center
i totally agree! red velvet & clc are 2 of my bias girl groups in kpop and clc's devil mv immediately reminded me of red velvet's russian roulette mv the first time i watched it. ^^
I love that you starts the reaction with loving one member then another and then ends it with loving all five of them. Their voice matches together. What I love about them is that, they always go for different concepts and with that, they are able to showcase their voices.
To appreciate their voices more I would recommend listening to their bsides, they have AMAZING BSIDES, but since you're just getting to know them, I'll recommend some of their title tracks -Red flavor (it's their biggest hit) -Bad boy (this song is in the velvet concept, but their vocals on this song are great) Really bad boy (for this song all the girls tried to get to a whistle note but only irene achieved it, you can hear it several times throughout the song) I love your videos 🧚♀️💞
Aahhhhh you looked into my ult group again! Thank you! I found this channel looking for someone to look into Dreamcatcher and I'm happy you're slowly liking Red Velvet. Also, the part where you said that you think their voices just come together and work well together tho! I truly believe that! Most people don't appreciate some members' voice because its not as strong as the othes' but, for me, that's the reason why they sound so good together. Please consider listening to their cover of BOA's Milky Way and their own song One of these Nights. Thank you!
Your fine taste continues Sir! :D It's hard to not fall for Red Velvet because their title tracks really are feel good bops, the only one I really see debate about is Zimzalabim for reasons that will become apparent when you hear it lol I personally enjoy it but plenty don't :') You'll no doubt get plenty of suggestions but imma throw Dumb Dumb and Bad Boy out there as they're two of my favourites and demonstrate the difference in their 'Red' and 'Velvet' sides. Their b-sides are also full of gems! The red haired girl you picked out is their maknae Yeri she's a rapper but also has such a lovely voice, I feel like she can get overlooked which is a shame because she's hilarious (they all are but she's a little devil lol) and honestly imo anyone that debuts while still a teenager deserves SO much respect, it's hard enough getting through school and dealing with normal teen woes so I can't even imagine juggling all of that while working, experiencing fame and having so many eyes on you constantly!
FINALLY, I waited for RV to come back to your channel. 7:55 that's Irene. And the reason behind her beauty is explainable only with one thing. She's a goddess walking between humans. Next songs you should react to: BAD BOY, (like, it's almost a sin to dive into the Red Velvet world and not appreciate that masterpiece), DUMB DUMB, BE NATURAL, AUTOMATIC and ONE OF THESE NIGHTS. AND Austin you should definitely take a look to their Subunit consisting of Seulgi and Irene MONSTER and NAUGHTY are so good. Ok, now, I wrote a lot, but seriously, they are so good it's almost addictive.
Lmao thx for the React!!! Lol at some point or another you have said to every member "yes that is my favorite for sure" xDD! Knew u would like this ones more since this once had more of Red Velvet's iconic Harmonies (which they love to do in most of their songs)! but to help with identifying the girls in each MV, Pink hair (2:21) in RR (Russian Roulette) = Driver seat Girl/Gorgeous Girl (10:02) in UU (Umpah Umpah) = Irene =Leader/Main Rapper/Lead Dancer/Sub Vocalist Orange Hair (4:11) in RR = Yellow Swimsuit (8:11) in UU = Seulgi (xD and not Wendy as you thought) = Main Dancer/Lead Vocalist Brown Hair (2:39) in RR = Short Hair (9:20) in UU = Wendy = Main Vocalist (and the one in charge of 80% of the back vocals xD) Blond Hair (2:08) in RR = Green Swimsuit (9:34) in UU = Joy = Lead Rapper/Sub Vocalist Red Hair (2:19) in RR = Blond Hair (2:24) in UU = Yeri = Sub Vocalist/Sub Rapper/Maknae
I think with Wendy, the member whose voice you thought was unique, I honestly think it's an issue of the songs not really showcasing her vocals properly~
Exactly! I always wonder what if Wendy debuted in a group like Mamamoo where she can fully showcase her vocal prowess, cause they’ve really been holding her back in RV. People who are not RV fans and have only heard their title tracks, really underestimate Wendy’s vocal abilities
our summer queens, umpah is one of many many anthems they gift us each year, red flavor and power up mightve been their most successful ones but i stand on the weirder side of their concept that gave us legendary zimzalabim because us intellectuals deserve summer fun too ;9
The one you said was your favorite in Umpah Umpah was Joy in the green outfit. I believe your second favorite is Irene in the pink. in Russian Roulette, the ones you pointed out as your favorite were Yeri and and then Irene. My favorites are all of them harmonizing together but especially Wendy, Seulgi and Joy one of the best combinations of vocal projection and color I have ever heard. Red Velvet is kind of a continuation of the SM entertainment evolution from Girl's Generation to f(x) to Red Velvet combining strong R and B influence, impressive vocal harmonization and color and unusually innovative variety of styles. .
Red Velvet's songs are bops... All of them....red Velvet has Two sides AND that's what makes them an interesting group. AND yeah... their harmonizations are one of the best in kpop
So a quick run-through for Red Velvet’s concept, they are known for the dual concept theme. Red is for upbeat and straight up pop songs, while Velvet is for more mature, rnb kind of songs. It’s going to be fun seeing Sir Austin fall in love with Red Velvet especially since MAMAMOO and Red Velvet are really good friends and have also collaborated in the past (Moonbyul’s Selfish ft. Seulgi from Red Velvet). They are queens in their own right 🔥. Please do react to One of These Nights (Velvet concept), Bad Boy (mixed Red and Velvet), and Ice Cream Cake (Red concept).
It's very interesting that you chose the rappers in the first video as your favorites voices (Yeri and Irene) . Red Velvet has the most interesting discography all of Kpop ever. The reason is because they have two main sides. One of them, it's the cutie, pop, bright side (Red side like these two songs) and the dark, mature, R&B and almost psycho side (Velvet side like Psycho) The main vocalists, all of them make adlibs and background voices but also, the rappers that they can sing beautifully like you said. Each song it's unique so nobody knows what it's the next concepts of Red Velvet. And also, they are the queen of B-side you have to check them out.
The girl behind steering wheel that you called beautiful is Irene, red velvet's leader and main rapper. Maybe you can also check Red Velvet Irene&Seulgi - Monster. ☺️
You should really, really, really, really check out their live performance of Umpah Umpah from Cultwo Show, it's a radio show with a mini stage and a live audience.
aww you like Yeri (red hair) I'm so happy, I lover her vocals the best too but she's the most underrated vocalist in the group along with the pink haired one you were talking about (Irene).
Ahh, finally someone who loves Yeri’s (the girl with the dark red hair in Russian Roulette) voice too :D I love all the members, but Yeri’s vocal tone always stood out to me. She’s my bias, but the other try to wreck me all the time.
Ahhhh you should check out Really Bad Boy (RBB) they were legit flexing their vocals, also dumb dumb! And their B-sides which are phenomenal I recommend Sunny Side Up and Kingdom Come. They do different concepts and their vocals are very versatile
a guide for the girls you asked who they were in all red velvet mvs: Irene: is the one you said is very beautiful in umpah umpah, and she has pink ponytail hair in russian roulette. Seulgi: The one with orange hair in russian roulette, and brown hair in umpah umpah. She is also the girl who was lying on the grass in happiness and the short hair one in psycho. You said you like her voice. Wendy: the most powerful vocal of red velvet in my opinion, it is she who does most of the high notes, along with Seulgi. In umpah umpah she had short black hair, and in russian roulette she had cinnamon hair ?? I can't describe it, I just know it had a few buns in. In 9:44 she did it Yeri: She had blonde hair in Umpah Umpah, and is the one with dark red hair in russian roulette. Joy: she had short yellow hair in russian roulette and long black hair in umpah umpah.
Yes, the vocal agility girl is Wendy, you should definitely check out her performances in TV shows like Yu Huiyeol's Sketchbook, or them singing 'Goodbye' in Immortal Songs 2, they are REALLY incredible singers. 'Goodbye' is one of my favorites Immortal Songs performances ever, it's so beautiful and emotional.
The orange haired girl in Russian roulette (seulgi my bias lol) she features in a song by moonbyul, called selfish, which definitely recommend you check out. It has a music video and everything, it’s a fun song :)
Since I'm not into Red Velvet, I didn't know the first one. Thank you for introducing. Maybe you want to listen to a underrated, versatile soloist called "Yezi"? Her recent songs were more about flexing vocals (She's really good) but she can spit fire as well. Try "Home", "My gravity" for vocals or her recent "Mimew 미묘’(迷猫)", where she shows her flow and aggressiveness :D And I don't know if someone mentioned but if you want to her a duet song by probably two of the most talented singers there you should watch "Lee Hongki (singer of ft.island) & Yoo Hweseung (singer of N.flying) - Still Love you". They're insane. Considered as part of the best vocalists of their generation. Lee Hongki did a collab stage with Moonbyul as well, that should be interesting for you since she's singing there as well. :)
Throughout the two MVs I think you pointed out liking everyone at some point except Wendy lol, it it may just be that you liked a part but Wendy wasn’t on the screen at the time. You hop all over the place picking people you like lol, you like them in one mv then not the next haha
😂. Yep. That’s my ADD. I guess that means I like all of them.
tbf their voices /have/ changed quite a bit in between these songs!!
Wendy was probably doing the bgv's he pointed out liking.
@@SirAustin to get to know their vocals just watch their live vocals of physcho at a fan meeting where they sing with no backing track. You will really appreciate it

All Reveluvs can relate. 😂
@@SirAustin its pretty normal. hahahahaha. u cant choose a bias of RV. They are all great.
Omg i commented the same thing on a another video of his a few days ago 😳 😂
Exactly HAHAHAHAHA
Red Velvet has two concepts they switch between. "Red" and "Velvet"
Red concepts are like Umpah Umpah. Other examples are Red Flavor, Dumb Dumb, Ice Cream Cake, and Rookie.

Its SEULGI
@@lemuelrico2857 It's Wendy and Seulgi. In this song the background vocals are done mostly by wendy and seulgi. If they require agility, it's wendy. Come on it's literally wendy's job to do the more difficult stuff.

😂
and in the last red velved reaction he said that her voice was his favourite lol
Red Velvet are known for always changing their "concept" and not being easy to stereotype.
The pink haired girl in Russian Roulette and the girl behind the wheel (and in the pink swimsuit) in Umpah Umpah are both Irene! And the red head in Russian Roulette is Yeri the maknae! The one who did the run in Umpah Umpah was Wendy (her and Seulgi do a lot of the runs in RV songs) and the one in the green swimsuit was Joy!
In age order:
Irene - Leader, Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Vocalist, Visual, Center
Seulgi - Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist
Wendy - Main Vocalist
Joy - Lead Rapper (but doesn't rap much anymore), Vocalist (would consider lead now)
Yeri - Rapper (would consider her lead now), Vocalist and Maknae
Haha yep yeri can be lead vocalist
Please do red velvet “bad boy” “automatic” “be natural” and “one of these days” for more of their vocal oriented songs.

@@SowyV omg lol idk why I said one of these days
@@pievancl5457 Probably bcs is part of the lyrics XD "baby one of these days, one of these years..."
I totally agree with all the suggestions - the 'velvet' songs that really showcase their vocals much more.
I reccomend Seulgi and Irene - Monster and Naughty, Its a sub unit of Red Velvet
Four songs were mentioned in the lyrics of "Umpah Umpah":
Dumb Dumb
Red Flavor
Happiness (you've already reacted to this)
Ice Cream Cake
You might want to consider reacting to those.
btw irene and seulgi recently formend a sub unit and they released two mvs : monster and naughty!
9:46 , the one doing the run in the background is their main vocalist wendy :)
2:17
The red haired one is Yeri, the pink haired one is Irene, and the orange haired one is Seulgi
Irene and Yeri are rappers (Irene is the main rapper and Yeri is a sub rapper, she also sings, Irene is sub-vocalist, Seulgi is lead vocalist)
The driver girl is Irene
Also, the yellow-orange haired girl is Joy (lead rapper, sub-vocalist) she rapped more when they debuted (like the early days) but yeri got added to the group a year later and Joy improved in singing so yeri is kind of lead rapper and joy is lead vocalist but it’s not official
Members (in age order):
10:03 was Irene
10:19 was Seulgi
9:44 was Wendy (Main Vocalist)
10:07 was Joy
9:55 was Yeri
Yeri may do some raps for Red Velvet but her vocals are no joke. Have you heard her solo song that she wrote and composed her self and even worked on the MV for? Called Dear Diary
RV debuted at what I would call the cusp of 2nd and 3rd generations, they are more 2nd Gen in concepts.

RV is probably one of the best groups to do a MV deep dive on (besides Mamamoo) because their title track history is really varied and diverse! You never know what you'll be expecting! I can't wait til you react to Bad Boy, Zimzalabim, Red Flavor and Dumb Dumb!
Also I'm really surprised you found 'psycho' that weird! It seems like a pretty standard 90s style R&B song! RV besides Mamamoo are one of the only groups that can do good 90s style R&B! They have a really popular B Side called 'kingdom come' that you might want to do a seperate video on! Also their bsides are really good too in general!
Yes, the moomoo insomnia reveluv trifecta. They all have kind fans, incredible vocals and interesting songs :)
Yaaassss!
that's my top 3 vocal girl group lol
7:52 her name is Irene! She's the one with purple hair in Russian Roulette! The visual of the group obviously that's why she's soooooooo beautiful! Best leader too 💗
I can't wait for the time you'll encounter Zimzalabim. That song is a rollercoaster. You might be confused when you first hear it, but after hearing it for multiple times, you'll definitely get hypnotized.
Seulgi sings main vocals
"I dont like her voice"
Seulgi sings background vocals
"Whoever's in the background is killing it though"
😂😂😂
If you want to hear their voices clearly check out their cover of " Milky Way ". This will show you how really amazing their vocals are and their harmonies.
If you want to get closer to Wendy's voice, I recommend listening to her song for OST "What If Love" ^^
I love that you constantly say you love Yeri in all of your RV reacts 🥺 she's so underappreciated, thank you for seeing how amazing she is
There's a saying goes "No one sounds like Red Velvet when they sing together".
Since you are a Vocal Coach, the best MV's you can react is One of These Nights and Milky Way (Red Velvet made a a cover of their company sunbae BoA's 20th debut anniversary). These two songs really flex their vocals and I'm sure you're gonna love it.

You might not be fond Wendy's YET but i'm sure you will after reacting to more songs of Red Velvet. 💖 btw those back vocals and adlibs that you like and praising, that is Wendy's voice.
Thank you for reaction! I hope you do more of Red Velvet's coz believe me or not. once you're IN in the fandom there's no going out. 💖
ohgod i agree. rv and mamamoo had definitely made my preferences on ggs top tier af
You should definitely react to their official debut as five, Ice Cream Cake and the counterpart song, Automatic, since both have videos and it's basically their start.
They had a gorgeous ballad called One of These Nights, if you want to hear more of their Velvet vocal side.
Then you got Dumb Dumb which is a super wild song, also Bad Boy which is more in line with American pop rnb music.
IF you want super catchy summer bops, Red Flavor and Power Up are your best friends.
Can't remember if you reacted to Peekaboo, but that song is so excellent I'm shook just thinking about it.
And as always, I recommend if you end up liking them a lot, check out their albums and their bsides, because those are the ones that really really hook you up.
Russian Roulette and Umpah Umpah? Looks like we're dipping into the Red concepts this time. I'm down for it. Also yeah Devil and Russian Roulette have similar concepts for their videos. CLC's was a bit more like mean pranks vs RV's which is more like trying to murder each other...lol
If I understand the plot of Russian Roulette correctly, they all like the same guy and they're trying to remove the competition. I don't know if this has ever been confirmed but it seems to be the most popular theory among Reveluvs.
If I’m remembering correctly, “umpah umpah” is an onomatopoeia for breathing used to teach children swimming technique
Yep, that's right.
liking your reactions. i've never written in to ask anyone to react...but have a listen to red velvet's kingdom come.
Yes!!! My top 3 groups are Dreamcatcher, Mamamoo, and RV, and I discovered them in the same order as you have hahaha. RV has kind of become my #1, at least right now. I second everyone else's suggestions as well as the b side butterflies (interesting vocals going on in this one i think), sunny side up, my second date, and irene & seulgi's subunit tracks!! Much love
Russian Roulette is one of their "older" songs, while Umpah Umpah is fairly new - when you are more familiar with RV you'll see they refer to the titles of many of their hits in Umpah Umpah. Red Flavor is probably their biggest hit in Korea, while Bad Boy was a huge international hit (just like Psycho). They've now become known for both summer bops (like Sistar used to) and Halloween hits, since Halloween is coming up I recommend Peek-a-Boo and RBB (Really Bad Boy) for that date with its heavy halloween/horror theme. Reckon you'll change your mind about Wendy given time, she's pretty amazing. She did a duet with John Legend called Written in the Stars, for all the collabs between western and korean artists it wouldn't be wrong to say this is the strongest. To hear their live vocals they did a cover of Milky Way by BoA recently, also Psycho @ReVe festival finale just before they were forced to take a hiatus due to Wendy's stage accident are both recommended. Both are done sat down.
Musically Red Velvet, Mamamoo, Dreamcatcher and soloist IU are the most interesting for me in k-pop
RED VELVET'S SONGS ARE BOPS. PERIODT. ❤️❤️
7:41 the girl in the driver seat is also the girl with a pink hair in Russian Roulette... she is Irene the leader
It's always hard to hear someone like your bias the least but it's okay, we have biases for a reason! Maybe you don't like Wendy's lower tone as much, but she's the one doing the vocal riffs! As a moomoo and a reveluv, I hope you react to more of them in the future!
I Recommend "Automatic", "One fo These Nights" and "Bad Boy", are my favorites.
ah our legendary murderous vocal queens 🙌 I love Seulgi's voice, her deeper tone is 𝕙𝕠𝕥🔥
the velvet these girls serve in the album b-sides 💯👑👌🏆🌓🔥™💘💖✨🎢🎀💎🎓💋🔮🔊🎙🏹🩸💣⚰📀🕯💰✒📈☠ dont do it for us, do it out of self love, Kingdom Come or Stuck on You or Rose Scented Breeze, really ANY WILL DO ask anyone you trust and they'll agree with me on that, they can seriosly take you into a higher plane of existence 😵
Seems like you like all the members. :)
Also just a side note for future videos. A lot of older videos for a lot of SM artists (Red Velvet, Exo, TVXQ, SHINee, Super Junior, Girls Generation, etc) don’t have subtitles on the original videos. They were pretty inconsistent with subs back then (not just SM but some other companies too) and didn’t start consistently uploading subs until around 2017, but there are unofficial channels that reuploaded the older music videos with the subs if you’re interested.
Russian roulette was actually used in on of the trolls movie
ginger hair is selugi! she's my fave too, her voice jumps out the most to me!
I really really love red velvet among all the kpop group. Their style is a Combination of pop and rnb ballad. Please rate the other rnb songs
Check the other songs like milky way, one of these nights, remember forever, etc.
FINALLY! Another Red Velvet reaction!
You're one of the most genuine reactor and I like that. Please continue being honest without worrying about what people may say.
Russian Roulette will always be my favorite RV song~ Glad you enjoyed their music!!💖💖
So happy to see that you have reacted to more Red Velvet! While I and all other Reveluvs hope you will go through the entire catalogue eventually, perhaps these four very different songs show how they can cover many genres - "Bad Boy", "Zimzalabim", "One Of These Nights" and "All Right". I'm sure you will end up going through Irene and Seulgi's sub-unit material as well. Looking forward to you covering more Red Velvet!
Wow thanks bout this I didn't expect you'll do one after watching your reaction to Happiness and Red Velvet. With Red Velvet you just really have to go your way through their discography since they are very diverse to find what suits your personal taste more 🥰
Yeah, that beautiful driver girl from Umpah Umpah is our queen and savior Irene, Leader of The Group, Main Rapper, Sub-Vocalist, Lead Dancer, Main Visual, Face of The Group and Main Center
Hope u reacting to 'psycho' and 'bad boy' in future...always love your reaction...keep it up👍
He already reacted to psycho😉
Most of the background vocals are performed by Seulgi in Umpah Umpah.
I think you would like Chung Ha as well btw!
Chung Ha is a queen!
Hey now - let him first get through RV before Chung Ha, else he will be too distracted :)
Not really Wendy has quite a lot as well, both Wendy and Seulgi like equal adlibs and Joy got a few as well
Red Velvet concept actually is in their name, Red and Velvet
Austin!!! I think you would enjoy their R&B side too! "Kingdom Come", "Automatic", "Be Natural", and "Bad Boy" are SO ICONIC!
i totally agree! red velvet & clc are 2 of my bias girl groups in kpop and clc's devil mv immediately reminded me of red velvet's russian roulette mv the first time i watched it. ^^
Please react to more Red Velvet today hahahaha i love your reactions
I love that you starts the reaction with loving one member then another and then ends it with loving all five of them. Their voice matches together. What I love about them is that, they always go for different concepts and with that, they are able to showcase their voices.
8:55 that was joy singing before chorus
YISSSSSSSSSS
The orange haired girl, seulgi, is one of Seulgi's best friend. Byul featured her on her first solo "selfish"
To appreciate their voices more I would recommend listening to their bsides, they have AMAZING BSIDES, but since you're just getting to know them, I'll recommend some of their title tracks
-Red flavor (it's their biggest hit)
-Bad boy (this song is in the velvet concept, but their vocals on this song are great)
Really bad boy (for this song all the girls tried to get to a whistle note but only irene achieved it, you can hear it several times throughout the song)
I love your videos 🧚♀️💞
It’s no necessarily that they didn’t achieve it but that the producers liked Irene’s note the best
Aahhhhh you looked into my ult group again! Thank you! I found this channel looking for someone to look into Dreamcatcher and I'm happy you're slowly liking Red Velvet.
Also, the part where you said that you think their voices just come together and work well together tho! I truly believe that! Most people don't appreciate some members' voice because its not as strong as the othes' but, for me, that's the reason why they sound so good together.
Please consider listening to their cover of BOA's Milky Way and their own song One of these Nights. Thank you!
8:58 you are right!!! That's our leader, Bae Joohyun, also known as IRENE 💗🐰
Your fine taste continues Sir! :D It's hard to not fall for Red Velvet because their title tracks really are feel good bops, the only one I really see debate about is Zimzalabim for reasons that will become apparent when you hear it lol I personally enjoy it but plenty don't :') You'll no doubt get plenty of suggestions but imma throw Dumb Dumb and Bad Boy out there as they're two of my favourites and demonstrate the difference in their 'Red' and 'Velvet' sides. Their b-sides are also full of gems! The red haired girl you picked out is their maknae Yeri she's a rapper but also has such a lovely voice, I feel like she can get overlooked which is a shame because she's hilarious (they all are but she's a little devil lol) and honestly imo anyone that debuts while still a teenager deserves SO much respect, it's hard enough getting through school and dealing with normal teen woes so I can't even imagine juggling all of that while working, experiencing fame and having so many eyes on you constantly!
FINALLY, I waited for RV to come back to your channel.
7:55 that's Irene. And the reason behind her beauty is explainable only with one thing. She's a goddess walking between humans.
Next songs you should react to: BAD BOY, (like, it's almost a sin to dive into the Red Velvet world and not appreciate that masterpiece), DUMB DUMB, BE NATURAL, AUTOMATIC and ONE OF THESE NIGHTS.
AND Austin you should definitely take a look to their Subunit consisting of Seulgi and Irene MONSTER and NAUGHTY are so good.
Ok, now, I wrote a lot, but seriously, they are so good it's almost addictive.
You can watch color coded lyrics videos to know their voice better. I recommend “Really Bad Boy” for vocals.
Lmao thx for the React!!!
Lol at some point or another you have said to every member "yes that is my favorite for sure" xDD! Knew u would like this ones more since this once had more of Red Velvet's iconic Harmonies (which they love to do in most of their songs)! but to help with identifying the girls in each MV,
Pink hair (2:21) in RR (Russian Roulette) = Driver seat Girl/Gorgeous Girl (10:02) in UU (Umpah Umpah) = Irene =Leader/Main Rapper/Lead Dancer/Sub Vocalist
Orange Hair (4:11) in RR = Yellow Swimsuit (8:11) in UU = Seulgi (xD and not Wendy as you thought) = Main Dancer/Lead Vocalist
Brown Hair (2:39) in RR = Short Hair (9:20) in UU = Wendy = Main Vocalist (and the one in charge of 80% of the back vocals xD)
Blond Hair (2:08) in RR = Green Swimsuit (9:34) in UU = Joy = Lead Rapper/Sub Vocalist
Red Hair (2:19) in RR = Blond Hair (2:24) in UU = Yeri = Sub Vocalist/Sub Rapper/Maknae
I think with Wendy, the member whose voice you thought was unique, I honestly think it's an issue of the songs not really showcasing her vocals properly~
Exactly! I always wonder what if Wendy debuted in a group like Mamamoo where she can fully showcase her vocal prowess, cause they’ve really been holding her back in RV. People who are not RV fans and have only heard their title tracks, really underestimate Wendy’s vocal abilities
I love how you went Seulgi's voice is favourite in last reaction to Not sure in Seulgi's parts in Umpah Umpah :D
Red Velvet the queens of summer hits
our summer queens, umpah is one of many many anthems they gift us each year, red flavor and power up mightve been their most successful ones but i stand on the weirder side of their concept that gave us legendary zimzalabim because us intellectuals deserve summer fun too ;9
The girl you mention on Umpah-umpah with vocal agility is Wendy. :)
Irene : group leader, main rapper, center and visual
Wendy : main vocal
Yeri : lead rapper
Joy : lead vocal
The one you said was your favorite in Umpah Umpah was Joy in the green outfit. I believe your second favorite is Irene in the pink. in Russian Roulette, the ones you pointed out as your favorite were Yeri and and then Irene. My favorites are all of them harmonizing together but especially Wendy, Seulgi and Joy one of the best combinations of vocal projection and color I have ever heard. Red Velvet is kind of a continuation of the SM entertainment evolution from Girl's Generation to f(x) to Red Velvet combining strong R and B influence, impressive vocal harmonization and color and unusually innovative variety of styles. .
Red Velvet's songs are bops... All of them....red Velvet has Two sides AND that's what makes them an interesting group.
AND yeah... their harmonizations are one of the best in kpop
So a quick run-through for Red Velvet’s concept, they are known for the dual concept theme. Red is for upbeat and straight up pop songs, while Velvet is for more mature, rnb kind of songs. It’s going to be fun seeing Sir Austin fall in love with Red Velvet especially since MAMAMOO and Red Velvet are really good friends and have also collaborated in the past (Moonbyul’s Selfish ft. Seulgi from Red Velvet). They are queens in their own right 🔥. Please do react to One of These Nights (Velvet concept), Bad Boy (mixed Red and Velvet), and Ice Cream Cake (Red concept).
There is an awesome compilation of their live performances, and I love to watch it because it's just AMAZING. I hope you react to that.
I'm glad that you will continue to react to them.
What I love most about them is that you don't know what to expect.
Red velvet are absolute queens! You will love mamavelvet agenda. Don't forget to react to Red Flavor, Rookie, Cookie Jar, Peekaboo!
Red Velvet Was My First Girl Group I Listened Too and I Love Them
It's very interesting that you chose the rappers in the first video as your favorites voices (Yeri and Irene) . Red Velvet has the most interesting discography all of Kpop ever. The reason is because they have two main sides. One of them, it's the cutie, pop, bright side (Red side like these two songs) and the dark, mature, R&B and almost psycho side (Velvet side like Psycho) The main vocalists, all of them make adlibs and background voices but also, the rappers that they can sing beautifully like you said. Each song it's unique so nobody knows what it's the next concepts of Red Velvet. And also, they are the queen of B-side you have to check them out.
The girl behind steering wheel that you called beautiful is Irene, red velvet's leader and main rapper. Maybe you can also check Red Velvet Irene&Seulgi - Monster. ☺️
You should really, really, really, really check out their live performance of Umpah Umpah from Cultwo Show, it's a radio show with a mini stage and a live audience.
Yesss I love red velvet they are so pretty❤️and once again angle by berry good. Best vocals in the would❤️
U need to watch them live while dancing they sing it beautifully.
I forgot how good Russian roulette is! Thanks for the reminder :) nice reaction
9:51 That Run was from our Vocal Queen Wendy :)
She was a R&B, Soul singer pre-debut ... So she's got plently of thos Runs, Riffs, Melisma etc
You got a new sub! I enjoyed your Red Velvet reactions 😍
aww you like Yeri (red hair) I'm so happy, I lover her vocals the best too but she's the most underrated vocalist in the group along with the pink haired one you were talking about (Irene).
Careful, once you get hooked on Red Velvet, there's no going back :)
Ahh, finally someone who loves Yeri’s (the girl with the dark red hair in Russian Roulette) voice too :D
I love all the members, but Yeri’s vocal tone always stood out to me. She’s my bias, but the other try to wreck me all the time.
Woooo, I think you're gonna love "Monster" by Irene&Seulgi. The Red Velvet sub-unit
Man you are killing me reacting to all my favorite artists..
Ahhhh you should check out Really Bad Boy (RBB) they were legit flexing their vocals, also dumb dumb! And their B-sides which are phenomenal I recommend Sunny Side Up and Kingdom Come. They do different concepts and their vocals are very versatile
a guide for the girls you asked who they were in all red velvet mvs:
Irene: is the one you said is very beautiful in umpah umpah, and she has pink ponytail hair in russian roulette.
Seulgi: The one with orange hair in russian roulette, and brown hair in umpah umpah. She is also the girl who was lying on the grass in happiness and the short hair one in psycho. You said you like her voice.
Wendy: the most powerful vocal of red velvet in my opinion, it is she who does most of the high notes, along with Seulgi. In umpah umpah she had short black hair, and in russian roulette she had cinnamon hair ?? I can't describe it, I just know it had a few buns in. In 9:44 she did it
Yeri: She had blonde hair in Umpah Umpah, and is the one with dark red hair in russian roulette.
Joy: she had short yellow hair in russian roulette and long black hair in umpah umpah.
Yes, the vocal agility girl is Wendy, you should definitely check out her performances in TV shows like Yu Huiyeol's Sketchbook, or them singing 'Goodbye' in Immortal Songs 2, they are REALLY incredible singers. 'Goodbye' is one of my favorites Immortal Songs performances ever, it's so beautiful and emotional.
OMGGG THANK U!!! MY QUEENS, RED VELVET!!!!
Like even before watch the video. Red velvet my fav girl group 😍
just subscribed! thank you for reacting ❤️ looking forward to more 😁
Well, you like them all actually! You're a Reveluv now! Hahaha
I recommend the One Of These Nights, Be Natural, Automatic and Badboy 🥰
The orange haired girl in Russian roulette (seulgi my bias lol) she features in a song by moonbyul, called selfish, which definitely recommend you check out. It has a music video and everything, it’s a fun song :)
Omg I love your reactions to my favorite band
I recommend "Automatic" and "One of these Nights" which is on the velvet side (rnb, ballad etc) because it's more focused on their vocals
Since I'm not into Red Velvet, I didn't know the first one. Thank you for introducing. Maybe you want to listen to a underrated, versatile soloist called "Yezi"? Her recent songs were more about flexing vocals (She's really good) but she can spit fire as well. Try "Home", "My gravity" for vocals or her recent "Mimew 미묘’(迷猫)", where she shows her flow and aggressiveness :D And I don't know if someone mentioned but if you want to her a duet song by probably two of the most talented singers there you should watch "Lee Hongki (singer of ft.island) & Yoo Hweseung (singer of N.flying) - Still Love you". They're insane. Considered as part of the best vocalists of their generation. Lee Hongki did a collab stage with Moonbyul as well, that should be interesting for you since she's singing there as well. :)
9:03 is Joy's voice. Irene is the one on the stirring wheel.
