Woke Up is where everyone rapped and Winter Without You is where everyone sang, Howling is where they perfectly blended both rap and vocals. They identify as a hip hop and rnb group but honestly they just do whatever the fuck they want and blow it out the park
i am 39 years old, a rap guy. going back to the 90s never been a fan of any boy or girl group. But they got me and are already the best whoever did it in my opinion. Never seen a group care so much about their art. They dont accept a weak link at anything. The work they put in to do these dances, to sing and rap like that in their 3rd language is insane.
THANK YOU, I need someone with years of experience in the music scene to say this , i've been trying to show this group to like 2 of my older uncles and they just brush them off saying its not real rap
@ZukiKrueger I'm a 42 year old former B boy who used to spin Real Hip Hop for years, what do ya Uncles consider "Real Rap." If ya play X Gene for them and they can't recognize XG's beats and cadence as elite female MC's, gotta say they just have bad taste. The rap line respect the old school cats and influences like Wu Tang, Bone, etc. On the Tapes they flow original lyrics (not just covers) on beats by JID/Mos Def, Dreamville, NORE, and Anderson Paak. Paying homage to those who built the foundation of Hip Hop. Nobody is doing it like XG! IYKYK 💙🐺👽Deuces ✌️
idk if someone told you but if you look at their hands during the girl gang dance practice, their are doing the song in sign language at the same time 😂 idk how they can focus on everything at the same time
You probs like Harvey's voice because its her actual voice irl, she doesnt put on the nasal tone that a lot of artists do, especially in the kpop scene. Her voice is all natural babyyyy
See... the thing is with Tippy Toes was that it was sooooo different from everything being put out by girl groups... it wasn't a cutesy concept, it had a slower tempo, the mv was stripped back, the choreo was certainly a step up from your typical gg posing, and both rapping and vocals were clearly legit. Plus, the 'ta tata ta tata ta' will worm it's way into your brain and never fukin leave. 😂 For me, they came outta nowhere on their debut day by randomly popping up in my YT feed and I was immediately blown away... and I'm happy to say I have yet to be disappointed in anything they've released so far and have loved how their sound is ever evolving. My favorite groups are typically the type to have wildly different types of songs in their discography and I hate nothing more then skipping through an album where every song sounds similar. Give me 6 different genres in a mini-album... yaaaaas ladies! Lol Also, I recently saw them in concert and can confirm, they are PHENOMENAL live! 🤗 I know I'm biased, but even my friend who doesn't like kpop and was only there bc I forced her to go, was thoroughly impressed and is now a total fan girl of them. If you ever have an opportunity to see them, GO!
im so happy someone loves harvey n recognizes her talent and what she brings to the group / song 🩷 i have a higher pitched voice im always so happy when people like women with higher voices ^^
Maybe this will help you remember the members. This is based on First Take Winter without you. (this video) 40:03 Juria (main vocal) 40:13 Chisa (main vocal too + sub-leader) 42:2644:48 (girl with blond hair) Hinata (main dancer + sub vocal) 40:5141:11 Maya (lead vocal, lead rapper) 40:59 Harvey (main rapper, sub-vocal) 41:22 Jurin (main dancer, leader, lead rapper) 41:44 Cocona (main rapper) XG vocal line: Chisa, Juria, Hinata XG rap line: Jurin, Harvey, Cocona (can sing fine too), Maya (can sing very well)* (*It's hard to say whether Maya is a rapper or a vocalist because she does both well, but she still raps more often + in her individual videos she usually raps.) XG dance line: Hinata, Jurin, Cocona (+maybe Harvey)
XG is so versatile they can try so many different styles and deliver at the highest level. XG can definitely do Rap and RnB but it’s not conventional because they do it together most times. It’s entirely new and fresh while feeling nostalgic at some times. But yeah if you want to know the members more XGprincess dropped a XG Guide 2024 rap line and vocal line. But in reality they can do it all. The TAPES are another beast they spit in 3 different languages. Also Chill Bill and GALZ XYPHER won’t have captions, you’re gonna have to look up the lyrics.
Harvey is unique even in the Kpop, Jpop, and American Pop/Hip Hop industry. She has such a unique voice but she also has a ton of swag, yet she is also very pretty and also cute. Harvey is also the nicest person you could meet. Not to mention she is an amazing dancer to go along with her rapping and vocals.
Sometimes I can’t believe a performer like her exists. She’s captivating to watch and listen to. Her voice is almost like a stamp for XG songs, so distinguishable and fits their concept so well
Yes all seven are true all rounders. All seven can legit sing and not just as a sub vocalist. They're also the only girl group that is raising the bar dancing wise for other girl groups and rapping wise. Also fun fact Cocona is the only one out of all the girls that has won a singing competition. Her Maya, and Jurin are true aces of the group who all excel in rapping, dancing and singing.
One thing I will ALWAYS say about XG is that they did and still do EXACTLY what they said they would. Their debut is explicitly saying they will keep us on our tippy toes: gonna wreck the game, worthy of a gallery, show us who's in charge, take over, bad girls on the rise, hard to match, nobody has their energy, here to dominate, etc. Their debut was SO different from what girl groups were doing when it came out and despite it being slower tempo and a pretty simple mv, IT MADE SENSE for a debut. They really flat out said "you ain't seen nothing yet" and with each and every comeback they take flight, up a level. You really never know what vibe/genre you're gonna get from them but all alphaz know it's gonna be a masterpiece.
Lol I know what you mean on Harvey but I call her the changeup. She changes every song on the new album. And also as you watch you’ll quickly realize she is an absolute performer as well. Harvey live is dif. Plus as much as you’d want to hate her u prob wouldn’t cuz she is authentically the nicest human on the planet lol.
yeah no one is doing like them. cocona actually auditioned as a singer at first and had won singing competitions before, in the xg documentary they showed some of her singing during their training days. everyone in xg can sing including the main rappers
They did a rock version of shooting star for the live concert so can confirm it is ANY genre. I’m still waiting for them to release that version for streaming
TAPE Series- Raps over existing beats. VOX Series - Vocal Covers of existing songs. MOVE Series- Dancing to existing songs. XGprincess made an excellent Guide for XG Rap Line and XG Vocal Line.
tbh momosunrise's guides are a lot better and more accurate. Id recommend "A Helpful Guide To XG | 2024" personally, covers everyone and is pretty up to date and accurate.
Winter Without You First Take gives me chills every single time , XG got it all. There’s nobody like XG, they should be much more popular, but I think they are going to blow up very soon. Just look at their products, do you see anyone like them? Nope!
good luck finding a substitute group for XG. dancing and vocal they are top tier but i wouldn't say there is no competitions out there, HOWEVER, they are def unmatched in the rapping department. they are hands down the best rappers in the game right now and i dont think anyone would have a solid argument against this statement. they are not reeling in as much views as other groups becuz their label (XGALX) doesn't buy views (paid ads and promo or even straight up buying the numbers) like all other groups do. their last blew up song "woke up" has a staggering 96.5% of organic views on YT out of their 56M views, according to SoriData. The highest organic view percentile in all of the 5th gen groups MVs. the average kpop MV OV percentile is only at around 65 to 70%. some as low as below 50%. thats where the difference is and that's why ppl love this group so much, they are just so genuine and authentic in their music and productions.
I Would Say For Me Vocally I Would Put Them At 4 For Groups I Listen To (NMIXX ,MAMAOO And Red Velvet being Ahead) But Rap I Haven't Heard Anyone Touch Them. Really Because This Is The First GG Where The Actually Let Them RAP and Not Give Them 1 or 2 Lines And Move To Vocals. Its Interesting That You Brought Up The Numbers Thing. I Never Knew Groups Did That. The Way I See The Sold Out Stadiums And How Crazy The Fans Seem To Support (fan meetups , album pre sales.. ect) I Thought It Was Genuine 100%
The vocals that you keep vibing with and who keeps doing the high notes and ad libs is Juria. The one that almost saved tippy toes for you lol. Shes the best. Her vocals are insane. The one who took left right to the next level haha
I knew them for shooting star and I became a fan. Every single song that they realese, becomes in my favourite. If you want to know more gruops like this, uniques in theirs sound, production, lyrics, dance and performance, I recomend you Stray Kids too. XG and Stray kids are my favourites groups and I really love their music.
I'm Glad You Stayed 😂, Hopefully It Wasn't A Waste Of The Hour Toooooo Much , But I Might Be Making Changes And Would Love Input On Further Ones. I Made A Community Poll About The Change
Okay so if you want to hear more about the vocal line and the rap line separatly : XG has what they call "vox" and "tapes", they are basically cover and cypher of really famous american songs. They change the lyrics but thoses are some of their most popular things out there, and what created most of their fanbase in the first place because some of them did go viral viral. The tapes and vox tell you the members names everytimes, so it's the easiest way to know them. The best vox to start with the vocal line are : "xgleeclub", and "losing you" (the 3 members of the vocals line), and then they have individual ones "Nobody loves" for Chisa (the Ariana girl), "Dear Name" for Juria (the brown haired one), and "Ride" for Hinata (the blonde one you want to hear more about) For the rap line it's hard because there are A LOT more. Well the Galz xypher obviously is the most popular, gone viral and tiktok and made Cocona the most popular member. Then I would say try "Nothin" (it's an N.O.R.E. cover), "Chill Bill" and "Two tens". And then, the "tape 4". There are 5 videos of tape 4, Cocona doing a cover of "Dirt of your shoulder", Jurin for "Still hot", Harvey for "Big mad", Maya for "Million cash", and the four of them doing a cover of "Trampoline" by Missy Eliott. It should make for 2 long videos but thoses are really worth it and they do most of them also live during their concerts
Nahhh bro theyre the only one doing this. They on a league of their own at this point 💯🔥 Edit: bro ur also definitely an underrated reactor, u deserve more subs at this point fam fr 💯
XG XGLAX will continue to do what everyone else isn't. The most highly talented and creative group I've seen in my lifetime. I'm 48 and heard everything but nothing as good as these girls. So unique and different with their storyline concepts and themes Harvey's voice is crystal clear and cuts through the layers perfectly. The Japanese tone of voice is slightly higher as they speak with a softer tone. Will always support these girls and enjoy the journey. UK Alphaz on deck 🇬🇧 🐺 👽 🫰 🔥
Harveys voice is UNIQUE. i love it. i first heard her voice in the Tape 2 cypher but it was unexpected and i was thrown off. i wasnt a fan at first but the rap they gave her wasnt as solid (imo) as like tape 1, or 4. tape 1 & 4 fit her voice really well and i wish she had rapped like that on tape 2. her voice grew on me tho and im glad shes added some contrast to the group. i love the tone of it. im not the biggest Tippy Toes fan either but i think thats bc its leaning more to the kpop side of sound. seems nowadays they have fully embraced their hiphop/rnb sound goal for the group winter without you mv be making me cry when i see the scene of the girls on facetime with their parents/family and crying. im sure being away from them alllll the time is extremely hard
38:26 That's Chisa. :) Since you really liked the vocals in Winter Without You, may I suggest checking out another kpop group: Mamamoo. Some of the best, if not THE best, vocals in the industry. "Mamamoo - Killing Voice" is probably the best to check out first, as it's a sampler of some of their songs, sung live. (Turn on captions.) They're a 4 member group. (Left to right in the Killing Voice video, it's Moonbyul, Solar, Whee In and Hwasa. (ruclips.net/video/WvkTcNQsxzc/видео.html) Mamamoo has a lot of great songs, as they debuted in 2014. "Mamamoo - Immortal Songs Medley" which is a concert performance of the cover songs that they won with on a competition show. (ruclips.net/video/h3YCi0qBMzs/видео.html) They're also all successful soloists. (Their solo debut songs listed below.) Moonbyul - Eclipse (ruclips.net/video/oCTqcTe1lIA/видео.html) Solar - Spit It Out (ruclips.net/video/V8FXWf0s7K0/видео.html) Whee In - Easy (ruclips.net/video/U_tQ-GIC0O8/видео.html) Hwasa - Twit (ruclips.net/video/Uu1KvQDDOog/видео.html) They have even done songs as sub groups. (Mamamoo+) Moonbyul & Solar - Chico Malo ([MV] MAMAMOO+ '나쁜놈 (Aniri ver.) (Feat. 김준수)' - ruclips.net/video/bHW_k6bIUeU/видео.html) Whee In & Hwasa - 17 (휘인(Whee In) X 화사(HWASA) - [IN the mood] 17 LIVE CLIP - ruclips.net/video/f2pfTkRO6yk/видео.html) Even their commercial songs are great. (WooHoo, Gleam, Wanna Be Myself...) Anyway, sorry for the length, just wanted to give you options in case you decide to check them out! :)
10:25 Harvey’s second verse in “Howling” is an NFL scheme and double entendre …”caught the throw, got the goal, do I really gotta run it back?” “Run it back” like a touchdown review. Do I really got a “Runningback?”
I have to SAY NO ONE is an ELITE Xpop Group like XG. SIMON “Jakops” created a DREAM TEAM. They slay every concept and song. I first watched XG believing they were an DANCE CREW with MOVE 1#. I didn’t know until I seen a trailer and was surprised to see they were an Xpop Group. Tippy Toes was a WARNING…recall the EASTER LILIES flowers in the coffin. XG is absolutely VERSATILE. 🏹🌱🪴🌺🌒🐺
THESE GIRLS NEVER MISS BRO... Assuming youre like in the US, I wish you'd seen these videos earlier before or while they were touring the States so you could've witnessed their live performances. They built different 💪 only particular members of other Kpop groups could pull off what they can do, not entire groups, so there really isn't anyone that could compare to them in terms of skills as single unit.
Welcome to the ALPHAZ bro🐺 XG in a league of their own and Harvey and Chisa definitely seem to be your bias 🤣Hinata (blonde who sings less) has been working on her English and slowly but surely is getting more lines but you should watch their XG LAB STUDIO playlist to get a better feel for the talents of each member and put names to faces. It can be hard when watching the 7 of them together, especially since their concept changes every MV
ZUKIIIII IS LOCKED IN ALRIGGGGHT!!! since you're about to finish Universe Ticket, i would really be ecstatic if you would do their XTRA XTRA Documentary as well!! it would be nice if you would learn how XG was formed!!!
Hinata (blonde hair) is my bias, her voice is so soft, her and juria, I love their vocals. I think you should checkbout Juria, Hinata and Chisas cover of Flo - losing you, to hear their vocals more
These were fire reactions. Xg is different. I feel like howling has energy closer to their first xypher to me. Woke up was their prove it rap going hard, howling was like we own this shit more. I feel like this is a good driving track. In the rain is a full on R and b track. Only lyric video so far.
In howling, blonde rapper is maya, blonde singer is juria Their mv is alligned actually. Tippy toes is like a statement or warning before they going to galaxy. They start the journey as u see in left right they're on the plane. And after that they start invading planet to planet
XG is everything!! They have really big inspirations in R&B and HipHop music, the interviews with Word Association you can tell that these girls have a huge list of inspirations. They were training for many years together, this explain how good they are all together. Xg is everything and so unique, you can’t describe the sensation when you are watching or hearing them. Welcome my friend, this is a “no way home”, enjoy, try to not understand the meaning of everything in MVs, this thing is made for us to enjoy. Supporting you from Brazil 🇧🇷🤍
I'm glad I found your channel. The truth is, I love all the reactions to XG. I love seeing the shock on people's faces at how good these girls are, how amazing their songs are, how well they rap, how beautifully they sing and how professionally they dance. It's good to listen to their songs over and over again. I think the TAPE, VOX and MOVE videos will also appeal to the rapper girls, the vocalist girls and their dance. These are all short videos, but he shows them individually and in small groups, they are indescribably talented. If you want to know more about them later, you should watch the XG Documentary Series 'XTRA XTRA' episodes, how the 7 members girl group was created and how they honed and developed into stars together.
The second Harvey part is a football scheme it started with Jurin saying "hoorah huddle up" and ended with Harvey saying "do I really have to runnin back?"
Thank You , Hopefully You Enjoyed The Vid And Me Fan Girling Over Them , I Might Be Making Changes And Would Love Input On Further Ones. I Made A Community Poll About The Change
Totally get how Tippy Toes feels kind of mid when you've already seen their newer stuff. I will say, it hits different (at least for me) when I watch the choreo/dance practice. I think they were showing off their amazing dancing skills with this one initially! And you don't really see much of that in the MV. Enjoying your reactions, thanks for the XG love!
As others have said: Vox series for vocal line, Tapes series for rap line. And if you want to know why XG is so good, the Xtra Xtra Documentary series.
for the names in winter without you live, from left to right: harvey, hinata (blonde), juria, jurin, chisa (the vocalist that u like), cocona, maya (black hair)
Hesonoo & X-Gene was the opening song to first album. It released just after shooting star and this is when they landed and revealed their aliens/wolf pack concept for this first time. Saw it when it dropped and I was hyped for the album release.
You should catch the Left Right Remix they are doing on tour. There are some good fancams. Its an R&B vibe with more boy group choreo. 🔥 All swag Like you said. They are performers. 7 aces, 7 rounders. Sing, Rap, Dance ALPHAZ ON DECK 🐺 Tippy Toe was an announcement of them coming. They originally promoted in S Korea for the early stuff. But as of 2023 they been promoting more globally
ALPHAZ 🐺 on deck. XG DON'T MISS! Visuals expands the atmosphere of the song and creates an immersive feeling draws the audience into a wild world. The music video depicts XG coming from outer space,🌌 tearing apart a standardized city where everything is controlled in the same way, transforming it into it own nature, and gradually expanding its power. The work strongly expresses the group strong unity, like a pack of wolves, and their will to change the existing order and world in their own way. XG are inspired by Michael Jackson. XG included Michael Jackson References. Moonwalk, Thriller, Close to Midnight, and Dangerous in their lyrics. Some MJ's Visuals. "Earth Song" and Caption EO "We Are Here To Change The World" Visuals. XG can transform themselves into different forms. "Howling" Juria, a Goddess with Wings. "WOKE UP" Juria, Wolf Goddess with Wings. "IYKYK" Juria, an Avatar with Wings. "GRL GVNG" Juria, with Wings. "MASCARA" Juria, with Wings. 👸🏼
If you want to hear some of the best vocals and runs out of Cocona and Maya you should watch XG's "Something Ain't Right" music video! Also, a really good R&B cover by the XG vocal line is "Losing You" (XG Vox #6 - Juria, Jurin and Hinata)
guys just imagine,he didn’t watched XYPHER yet
"Who else is doing this?" No one else, bro. Only XG.
FACTS!
🙂↕️💯
So you haven't heard of Aespa...
@@IndyMotoRider Not even close. NGL Armageddon's okay. Supernova's a miss.
@IndyMotoRider aespa are great, but if we compare them two xg wining
bro still hasn't realized maya's duality... time will come.
Because he only recognises Jurin, Harvey and Cocona
@@dramaaddict25 Maya is my bias but it took me sometime to notice her too.
Woke Up is where everyone rapped and Winter Without You is where everyone sang, Howling is where they perfectly blended both rap and vocals. They identify as a hip hop and rnb group but honestly they just do whatever the fuck they want and blow it out the park
i think what u just said perfectly describes xg lol

checking out their tapes is a must have for sure,,,

Your smile is different when Harvey comes up on the screen hehe. Cool authentic review man!
Its Just Something About Her Style 😂
yup definitely his bias!
Harvey is like the Bizzy Bone of the group because her sound automatically changes the flow and sound of the entire song like a break.
XG is so versatile they can try so many different styles and deliver at the highest level. XG can definitely do Rap and RnB but it’s not conventional because they do it together most times. It’s entirely new and fresh while feeling nostalgic at some times. But yeah if you want to know the members more XGprincess dropped a XG Guide 2024 rap line and vocal line.

Tippy toes forever classic 🔥
Cocona has real pipes. You haven't heard anything yet. She has won singing contests. She's just playing her part.
This song was prphetic. "Understand that ee didnt come to play babe, here to dominate"
good luck finding a substitute group for XG.
dancing and vocal they are top tier but i wouldn't say there is no competitions out there, HOWEVER, they are def unmatched in the rapping department. they are hands down the best rappers in the game right now and i dont think anyone would have a solid argument against this statement.
they are not reeling in as much views as other groups becuz their label (XGALX) doesn't buy views (paid ads and promo or even straight up buying the numbers) like all other groups do.
their last blew up song "woke up" has a staggering 96.5% of organic views on YT out of their 56M views, according to SoriData.

Its Interesting That You Brought Up The Numbers Thing. I Never Knew Groups Did That. The Way I See The Sold Out Stadiums And How Crazy The Fans Seem To Support (fan meetups , album pre sales.. ect) I Thought It Was Genuine 100%
The vocals that you keep vibing with and who keeps doing the high notes and ad libs is Juria. The one that almost saved tippy toes for you lol. Shes the best. Her vocals are insane. The one who took left right to the next level haha
Don't forget "Something Ain't Right".
he's probably not gonna like it much, I can already tell 😆
The best group for me
Harvey and Jurin are the backbone of XG. Since beginning these two standout 🔥🔥🔥
I knew them for shooting star and I became a fan. Every single song that they realese, becomes in my favourite. If you want to know more gruops like this, uniques in theirs sound, production, lyrics, dance and performance, I recomend you Stray Kids too.
XG and Stray kids are my favourites groups and I really love their music.
i dont usually like to watch an hour long video but i really enjoy watching your XG reaction. Im looking forward to seeing more XG reaction from you
I'm Glad You Stayed 😂, Hopefully It Wasn't A Waste Of The Hour Toooooo Much , But I Might Be Making Changes And Would Love Input On Further Ones. I Made A Community Poll About The Change
and you’re absolutely right! nobody is doing it like XG fr
Okay so if you want to hear more about the vocal line and the rap line separatly :
XG has what they call "vox" and "tapes", they are basically cover and cypher of really famous american songs. They change the lyrics but thoses are some of their most popular things out there, and what created most of their fanbase in the first place because some of them did go viral viral.
The tapes and vox tell you the members names everytimes, so it's the easiest way to know them.
The best vox to start with the vocal line are : "xgleeclub", and "losing you" (the 3 members of the vocals line), and then they have individual ones "Nobody loves" for Chisa (the Ariana girl), "Dear Name" for Juria (the brown haired one), and "Ride" for Hinata (the blonde one you want to hear more about)
For the rap line it's hard because there are A LOT more. Well the Galz xypher obviously is the most popular, gone viral and tiktok and made Cocona the most popular member. Then I would say try "Nothin" (it's an N.O.R.E. cover), "Chill Bill" and "Two tens". And then, the "tape 4". There are 5 videos of tape 4, Cocona doing a cover of "Dirt of your shoulder", Jurin for "Still hot", Harvey for "Big mad", Maya for "Million cash", and the four of them doing a cover of "Trampoline" by Missy Eliott.
It should make for 2 long videos but thoses are really worth it and they do most of them also live during their concerts
Nahhh bro theyre the only one doing this. They on a league of their own at this point 💯🔥
Edit: bro ur also definitely an underrated reactor, u deserve more subs at this point fam fr 💯
XG XGLAX will continue to do what everyone else isn't. The most highly talented and creative group I've seen in my lifetime. I'm 48 and heard everything but nothing as good as these girls. So unique and different with their storyline concepts and themes
Harvey's voice is crystal clear and cuts through the layers perfectly. The Japanese tone of voice is slightly higher as they speak with a softer tone.
Will always support these girls and enjoy the journey. UK Alphaz on deck 🇬🇧 🐺 👽 🫰 🔥
Harveys voice is UNIQUE. i love it. i first heard her voice in the Tape 2 cypher but it was unexpected and i was thrown off. i wasnt a fan at first but the rap they gave her wasnt as solid (imo) as like tape 1, or 4. tape 1 & 4 fit her voice really well and i wish she had rapped like that on tape 2. her voice grew on me tho and im glad shes added some contrast to the group. i love the tone of it.
im not the biggest Tippy Toes fan either but i think thats bc its leaning more to the kpop side of sound. seems nowadays they have fully embraced their hiphop/rnb sound goal for the group
winter without you mv be making me cry when i see the scene of the girls on facetime with their parents/family and crying. im sure being away from them alllll the time is extremely hard
Harvey is a gem that needs recognition. She is a one in a million.
Hinata is coming for everybody
Harvey's voice for me is like sugary acid, that's the only way I can describe it.... like it's sweet but lethal
Omg I can’t wait for the reaction of X-TAPE!!!!!! You’ll love it for sure

38:26 That's Chisa. :)
Since you really liked the vocals in Winter Without You, may I suggest checking out another kpop group: Mamamoo. Some of the best, if not THE best, vocals in the industry.
"Mamamoo - Killing Voice" is probably the best to check out first, as it's a sampler of some of their songs, sung live. (Turn on captions.) They're a 4 member group. (Left to right in the Killing Voice video, it's Moonbyul, Solar, Whee In and Hwasa. (ruclips.net/video/WvkTcNQsxzc/видео.html)
Mamamoo has a lot of great songs, as they debuted in 2014.
"Mamamoo - Immortal Songs Medley" which is a concert performance of the cover songs that they won with on a competition show. (ruclips.net/video/h3YCi0qBMzs/видео.html)
They're also all successful soloists. (Their solo debut songs listed below.)
Moonbyul - Eclipse (ruclips.net/video/oCTqcTe1lIA/видео.html)
Solar - Spit It Out (ruclips.net/video/V8FXWf0s7K0/видео.html)
Whee In - Easy (ruclips.net/video/U_tQ-GIC0O8/видео.html)
Hwasa - Twit (ruclips.net/video/Uu1KvQDDOog/видео.html)
They have even done songs as sub groups.
(Mamamoo+) Moonbyul & Solar - Chico Malo ([MV] MAMAMOO+ '나쁜놈 (Aniri ver.) (Feat. 김준수)' - ruclips.net/video/bHW_k6bIUeU/видео.html)
Whee In & Hwasa - 17 (휘인(Whee In) X 화사(HWASA) - [IN the mood] 17 LIVE CLIP - ruclips.net/video/f2pfTkRO6yk/видео.html)
Even their commercial songs are great. (WooHoo, Gleam, Wanna Be Myself...)
Anyway, sorry for the length, just wanted to give you options in case you decide to check them out! :)
10:25 Harvey’s second verse in “Howling” is an NFL scheme and double entendre
…”caught the throw, got the goal, do I really gotta run it back?” “Run it back” like a touchdown review. Do I really got a “Runningback?”
I Was Thinking The Last "RunningBack" Part But My Mind Stopped Because I Thought Of A WR or TE instead When It Came To "caught the throw"
I have to SAY NO ONE is an ELITE Xpop Group like XG. SIMON “Jakops” created a DREAM TEAM. They slay every concept and song. I first watched XG believing they were an DANCE CREW with MOVE 1#. I didn’t know until I seen a trailer and was surprised to see they were an Xpop Group. Tippy Toes was a WARNING…recall the EASTER LILIES flowers in the coffin. XG is absolutely VERSATILE. 🏹🌱🪴🌺🌒🐺
Can't Wait To See The Move Videos
Enjoy the XG journey
They've set the bar up high like HIGH. THEY'RE NOT PLAYING.
THESE GIRLS NEVER MISS BRO...
Assuming youre like in the US, I wish you'd seen these videos earlier before or while they were touring the States so you could've witnessed their live performances. They built different 💪 only particular members of other Kpop groups could pull off what they can do, not entire groups, so there really isn't anyone that could compare to them in terms of skills as single unit.
41:11 That’s the thing tho Maya is rap unit they can all sing 💕
Maya ❤
When he said “is that eyebrow stickin up” on first take part, I gagged 🤣
I Tried To Ignore It 😂
Welcome to the ALPHAZ bro🐺 XG in a league of their own and Harvey and Chisa definitely seem to be your bias 🤣Hinata (blonde who sings less) has been working on her English and slowly but surely is getting more lines but you should watch their XG LAB STUDIO playlist to get a better feel for the talents of each member and put names to faces. It can be hard when watching the 7 of them together, especially since their concept changes every MV
ZUKIIIII IS LOCKED IN ALRIGGGGHT!!!
since you're about to finish Universe Ticket, i would really be ecstatic if you would do their XTRA XTRA Documentary as well!!
it would be nice if you would learn how XG was formed!!!
why do you need to define them? DON’T. JUST LET THEM BE XG AND ENJOY THEM.
My Mind Processes Better When I Can Define Something Or At least Understand It
Hinata (blonde hair) is my bias, her voice is so soft, her and juria, I love their vocals. I think you should checkbout Juria, Hinata and Chisas cover of Flo - losing you, to hear their vocals more
Chisa Stole Me.. all I'll say for now 😂
If you wanna do a guide there's an hour long guide where you can get to know the members
Girl gang is so cool with all the chair work and the fact that they integrated sign language into the dance
These were fire reactions. Xg is different. I feel like howling has energy closer to their first xypher to me. Woke up was their prove it rap going hard, howling was like we own this shit more. I feel like this is a good driving track.
In the rain is a full on R and b track. Only lyric video so far.
Ciara and Jackson Wang covered Left Right guyss
I can't wait for you to see the VOX line. Subscribed!! :)
Thank You For Supporting Me ♥ I Might Be Making Changes And Would Love Input On Further Ones. I Made A Community Poll About The Change 💯
Great marathon reaction!
Glad you enjoyed , I Might Be Making Changes And Would Love Input On Further Ones. I Made A Community Poll About The Change
Let’s go for some tapes
Nobody does same like XG 🔥🔥
Do an Awe album review my guy and do a ranking of each tracks
In howling, blonde rapper is maya, blonde singer is juria
Their mv is alligned actually. Tippy toes is like a statement or warning before they going to galaxy. They start the journey as u see in left right they're on the plane. And after that they start invading planet to planet
There is absolutely no other groups doing it like them
Yes outfits are giving howls moving castle vibes
The outfits are a reference to Princess Mononoke
XG is everything!! They have really big inspirations in R&B and HipHop music, the interviews with Word Association you can tell that these girls have a huge list of inspirations. They were training for many years together, this explain how good they are all together.
Xg is everything and so unique, you can’t describe the sensation when you are watching or hearing them.
Welcome my friend, this is a “no way home”, enjoy, try to not understand the meaning of everything in MVs, this thing is made for us to enjoy.
Supporting you from Brazil 🇧🇷🤍
We love XG, I love XG, You love XG (i hope) pls more XG reactions
10:20 football scheme, "run it back" (running back)
I'm glad I found your channel. The truth is, I love all the reactions to XG. I love seeing the shock on people's faces at how good these girls are, how amazing their songs are, how well they rap, how beautifully they sing and how professionally they dance. It's good to listen to their songs over and over again. I think the TAPE, VOX and MOVE videos will also appeal to the rapper girls, the vocalist girls and their dance. These are all short videos, but he shows them individually and in small groups, they are indescribably talented. If you want to know more about them later, you should watch the XG Documentary Series 'XTRA XTRA' episodes, how the 7 members girl group was created and how they honed and developed into stars together.
The first part gives me the anime ghost in the shell when the guy has everyone hookednup to the cables to create their own 'network'
The second Harvey part is a football scheme it started with Jurin saying "hoorah huddle up" and ended with Harvey saying "do I really have to runnin back?"
thank bro another XG..i hook at them since i watch it the past video you post here in your YT❤❤
Left Right practice dance is my favorite chorio.
DONT FORGET THE TAPE
OH TRUST THEM TAPES GETTING DONE 😂
💗🔥Yes XG is fire! Thanks for nice reaction!!🔥💗
Thank You , Hopefully You Enjoyed The Vid And Me Fan Girling Over Them , I Might Be Making Changes And Would Love Input On Further Ones. I Made A Community Poll About The Change
Totally get how Tippy Toes feels kind of mid when you've already seen their newer stuff. I will say, it hits different (at least for me) when I watch the choreo/dance practice. I think they were showing off their amazing dancing skills with this one initially! And you don't really see much of that in the MV.
Enjoying your reactions, thanks for the XG love!
You need to watch the cyphers and covers
Love your intro song! Btw here for XG. They are the best! ❤❤❤
As others have said: Vox series for vocal line, Tapes series for rap line. And if you want to know why XG is so good, the Xtra Xtra Documentary series.
Love the harvey love :D
X-gene is like their DNA sample sound
Maya is an ace can rap sing and dance all super well the whole package!!!
Hope you react to HOWLING and WOKE UP fullcam live performances, the choreographies are crazy
I Really Want To See The Choreo For Both Of These So, I'm Doing This For Sure
for the names in winter without you live, from left to right:
harvey, hinata (blonde), juria, jurin, chisa (the vocalist that u like), cocona, maya (black hair)
This is the best one yet. Nobody is seeing them, man, woman, white or black.
Hesonoo & X-Gene was the opening song to first album. It released just after shooting star and this is when they landed and revealed their aliens/wolf pack concept for this first time. Saw it when it dropped and I was hyped for the album release.
You gotta react to a SHOW YOU CAN lyric video by Maya and Cocona. Theres no official video but my only hint for you is mid 2000s hip hop.
You should catch the Left Right Remix they are doing on tour. There are some good fancams. Its an R&B vibe with more boy group choreo. 🔥 All swag
Like you said. They are performers. 7 aces, 7 rounders. Sing, Rap, Dance
ALPHAZ ON DECK
🐺
Tippy Toe was an announcement of them coming. They originally promoted in S Korea for the early stuff. But as of 2023 they been promoting more globally
U should reaction to XG Tape 1,2,3,4 bruhhhhhhh, i’m waiting for it ❤❤❤❤❤❤
ALPHAZ 🐺 on deck.
XG DON'T MISS!
Visuals expands the atmosphere of the song and creates an immersive feeling draws the audience into a wild world. The music video depicts XG coming from outer space,🌌
tearing apart a standardized city where everything is controlled in the same way, transforming it into it own nature, and gradually expanding its power. The work strongly expresses the group strong unity, like a pack of wolves, and their will to change the existing order and world in their own way. XG are inspired by Michael Jackson. XG included Michael Jackson References. Moonwalk, Thriller, Close to Midnight, and Dangerous in their lyrics. Some MJ's Visuals. "Earth Song" and Caption EO "We Are Here To Change The World" Visuals.
XG can transform themselves into different forms.
"Howling"
Juria, a Goddess with Wings.
"WOKE UP"
Juria, Wolf Goddess with Wings.
"IYKYK"
Juria, an Avatar with Wings.
"GRL GVNG"
Juria, with Wings.
"MASCARA"
Juria, with Wings.
👸🏼
You should check all of their tape before debut, tape 1 - tape 4
If you want to hear some of the best vocals and runs out of Cocona and Maya you should watch XG's "Something Ain't Right" music video! Also, a really good R&B cover by the XG vocal line is "Losing You" (XG Vox #6 - Juria, Jurin and Hinata)
Just here to reiterate and confirm what Alphaz have been saying - THERES NO OTHER GROUPS LIKE XG. I’ve looked lol
Check out XG's Live Version of I AM THE BEST, Live in L.A., awesome dance team Jurin killing it as usual
I didn't see it in the comments but Howling is definitely a reference to Princess Mononoke
Yess, let's go for the Tapes
They are second to none, no group or individual can do it like them period!
