Hello my good people! Due to this INCREDIBLE performance being 15 songs by Exo, monetization was unfortunately not possible. SO, if you enjoy my hour-long reaction and vocal analysis, please give an extra consideration to throwing me a few dollars on BuyMeaCoffee or Patreon -- thanks, y'all! Also, leave suggestions for more songs/performances from Exo -- I absolutely love this group. Cheers! :]
Thank's Peter to Hearing EXO Killing Voice😁, next time i hope you can hearing another exo's song like EXO-Eldorado Live in Japan or EXO-Wolf Live in Japan. There are so amazing live vocal and choreography👍👍👍 I'm sorry my english is so bad🙏
The guy with silver hair is BAEKHYUN, who just became the ONE & ONLY TRIPLE MILLION SELLER SOLOIST in the K-pop industry in 23 years. He just released his 4th mini album HELLO WORLD and you should definitely check out PINEAPPLE SLICE, COLD HEART, ALL I GOT, CRY FOR LOVE by Baekhyun. You'll miss out a lot if you don't listen to this. Trust me. The guy in all white is CHEN who's the no 1 vocalist in K-pop. You'd definitely wanna react to him performing in concerts and live. Please react to his songs FREE WORLD, MIRAGE OF FLOWER, UPRISING, BEAUTIFUL GOODBYE. The guy to the left, that's the main rapper CHANYEOL who also just dropped his solo debut album BLACK OUT. All the songs are amazing and old style. Please check that out. He's got two Mvs - BLACK OUT and BACK AGAIN. You'll definitely enjoy those.
30:43 Fun thing: The members of EXO have done a low-note challenge before, and Chen (the one you identified as the highest tenor) has been the winner every time, even against the rappers~^.^
@@toriecarter2711 is xuimin not the one with the highest note. But Chen has greatest range high-low register. I mean we know since debut he is classed the best vocalist in the industry. It’s DO & Baekyun for 2/3 spots.
@@NM-wn7nk I was using "the one you identified as the highest tenor" so he knew who I was talking about, not confirming his observation^.^ Is that where the confusion is coming from?
@@toriecarter2711 tbh I don’t get caught up in what note is being hit -high or low. I often hear singers trying to hit high notes and you can hear the strain. With EXO you never know which direction they will go. E.g “papercuts” is one of my favourites ballads as it reminds of my sister. Then you hear “baby don’t cry” & the r&b vocals hit u. Today I heard “Let Me In” where I felt EXO gave us a 3D master vocal performance. I truly believe there is no grp to match EXO vocally worldwide today. But feel free to remind me
Acoustic medley or B side medley is a must! Unfortunately this killing voice didnt show Kyungsoo's vocal ability a lot since all his killing parts where almosy all cut (he's the main vocalist together with Chen, high note king, & Baekhyun, silver hair.
Whoever decided to bring these guys together and form a band is a genius. You mentioned how well they sync, and I totally agree. One thing about EXO is that, no matter the genre, they absolutely nail it. Their voices blend so perfectly that I get goosebumps every time they release a new song. It’s like they were made for each other. Plus, every member contributes to the vocals, which is awesome. Even if some might not have the strongest vocals, they still make use of everyone’s talent. Take Sehun, for example-mainly known as a dancer and rapper, yet when you break down some of EXO's big hits, you can hear his voice supporting in the background. This isn’t something you see much with newer K-pop groups these days. Some producers only spotlight those they think are the best fit, leaving other members out. It’s frustrating because those members have potential if they’re just given the chance. Without it, they might end up feeling like side characters, getting lazy, and not improving what they can do. But that’s what I love about EXO and most older generation idols. Even after being in the industry for 10 years, they still work on themselves and keep learning. It’s crazy how hard they work, and you can really hear it in their music. They make truly beautiful songs.
Even there are only 7 members in this video, the group still has 9 members. 1 missing is Lay due to solo activities, other is Kai who's doing his mandatory military service (6 in this video have already done their service, the tall one with light blue jeans on the right who is the youngest is also in the military now)
Lay left SM entertainment after the end of his contract.Alhough he told that he ll forever be an EXO member, theres less chance that he might return unless there might be some anniversary album or like that.
@@maskedsaiyan3667 baekhyun, xiumin, and chen are also no longer in sm. tbh at this point lay is kind of an "honorary member", hes forever a member but he likely wont be participating in their group activities ever again unless like you said, an anniversary album or special occasion.
EXO is massive. The 3 top male vocalists are in this one grp. As EXO_Ls we don’t stream obsessively to get numbers. But this was just 10% of their hits. Every genre is covered. Military service 2019-2025. So u have fandom waiting for their concerts which hold the record at 0.2sec & 1.41 sec sellout. For us EXO_Ls it’s the music. EXO have never failed to deliver. And even this yr there solo vocalists dominate. 150 brilliant songs exc solos, subunits, osts & covers. B sides allow them to flex those vocals. That coupled with ability to sing in Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, English
Note. BTS comparison is not good. BTS are a rap line with one established singer who doesn’t need auto-tune. That’s junghook. He is viewed as a great performer but not vocalist. When you hear a wider range of EXO songs u will understand. Also when comparing with US A listers. EXO as a grp don’t go down that route. But vocally they can hit those Adele/kelly Clarkson/Sam smith/bruno notes. Only have to hear DO version of perfect to understand why they have kept growing despite minimal promotion.
Technically speaking, i dont compare them properly. He only said that bangtang are strong and popular competitors in the American market, although i agree wth you about what you mentioned about being more of a rap group with a stable performer.
@@NM-wn7nknote. Jk NEEDS autotune. His power of sound is still unstable, his falsetto is very weak to the point that producers have to double-track it all the time and up the volume in those parts of melody where he transitions to falsetto. You can clearly hear it on his solo album.
13:38 pausing on Kyungsoo for your sidebar on language is so perfect! A song from his first solo album is entirely in Spanish (Si Fueras Mia) and his pronunciation was so good = that a bunch of native speakers (listening blind) were convinced he was _also_ a native Spanish speaker-they only disagreed on which country in Latin America he was from, each trying to claim him for themselves lol
I think you'll like All i Got by Baekhyun, the guy with the silver hair, its just him flexing with all the high notes Edit: and as others said Cry For Life is another incredible one from the same album that shows off his range and vocal tone really well!
Yes and Cry For Love, that song has been so overshadowed and shows his vocal progression and growth so beautifully. When I listened to his City Lights album I thought he couldn't possibly get any better but he proved us all wrong!
Exo are called the "vocal kings". I would love to see you react to another EXO live because it's even better. It's ' EXO ACOUSTIC SESSION LADY LUCK+ What If'. It's just what it implies, the 9 members LIVE with just Chayneol( the tall rapper) and Lay playing acoustic guitar and EXO jamming with their amazing vocals. Take Killing Voice and times that by 100. It's some of their B sides so it's some different songs than killing voice. It's a don't miss for EXO fans and enthusiasts. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚. Kaibwas missing from Killing Voice because of military service, but Kai sings in 'EXO ACOUSTIC SESSION'. Your enjoyment and appreciation of the 'Vocal Kings" was undeniable during g this reaction. Loved it.
I swear once you go down the exo rabbit hole there’s so much treasure to find. Their solos, LIVE PERFORMANCES, b-sides, acapellas? There’s just so much to look into
Amazing analysis of the EMPIRES of kpop. Every EХO song will impress you, but their concert performances will give you perfect vocals, stunning harmony, killer dance and captivating vision. See for yourself - MAMA + Monster + Wolf In Japan; EXO(엑소)- LIGHTSABER + TRANSFORMER + Overdose🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thx for the reaction, one of EXO's main vocalist *"Baekhyun"* dropped his 4th mini-album, plllz check out the title track *"Pineapple slice"* mv PS: he is the 2nd from the right with silver hair, he is also in *Leage of kegends "Heartsteel"*
There are so much content to analyse their pur talent...🤣 If we are still here after 12 years, 3 members leaving at the few years of their debuts, all the dramas, the long hiatus due to their military services etc....if it wasn't because of how good they are, there wouldn't be still as much fans as of now...a lot of people are still discovering Exo now and loving their music...their b-sides, be it from their group albums or their solo albums...masterpieces after masterpieces...you'll see as you dig in it, how sophisticated and brillant their music can be...
1 hour reaction and analysis of Exo? Loving it!! This is why, for me, they are my #1 male group in kpop. Their acoustic Medley is a good one as well. I'll link it below. Yes, please react to some of the songs they performed here on Killing Voice. Also check out Tempo (one of my faves.) ruclips.net/video/eXp3ted3kbs/видео.htmlsi=UaZuAenlSMF6z3Ih
The man in the middle is Chen. He has 4 ballad mini albums and 1 rock japanese mini album. Please react to his latest song Empty. EXO has 3 main vocalists, Chen, Baekhyun and D.O, also considered as the vocal trinity of kpop. Thanks for reacting to EXO.
50;49 Chanyeol points out D.O to look at the camera while he sings but apart from the fact that he is somewhat shy he has already said that it is professional deformation, apart from being an incredible singer (here it is not shown at all what he is capable of doing) he is a great actor with more than 30 awards and as an actor he never stares at the camera so as an idol it is difficult for him to do it...
Until this day, Chen is the best korean vocalist.....Exo is an impressing group, u should check more of them...they can do everything...so proud of them❤❤❤❤
I'm so proud of EXO vocals, music, rap, dance. Makes aeris really happy to hear profesional people like their music. Ty for the reaction, wish you keep reacting to EXO in the future 🤍
I love your in-depth analysis! I really hope you can check out BTOB sometime in the future, they're really talented vocalist and have also done a Killing Voice video. Their type of music is different from EXO, it's not as groovy but they do have a nice variety of styles. BTOB also have nice vocal range and some great harmonies
This is the best reaction video I’ve seen for exo’s killing voice! I really enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much ❤️ I’m really excited to see you getting to know them more, i’ve been a fan since debut and they have never disappointed me, i’m sure you’ll be having a lot of fun 🥰
Please react to DO on Lee Mujin Service!!! He’s one of the main vocals in this group. He doesn’t have a lot of lines here, but this video showcases his talent!!
Exo is the group!!! Vocals, visuals, live performances, etc. 8/9 members with soloists albums, all incredible. You need a lot of time to cover their discography.
i would love to see your reaction to the btob killing voice as well!! they are insanely talented singers and very well known in the idol industry for their amazing vocals
Thank you so so much for your analysis. It always makes me happy when someone discovers how amazing kpop is. Exo are absolutely amazing and deserve to be known worlwide on par with western artists. First of all because from a vocal point of view they are exceptional and much better than most American, English, Italian, etc. singers (I'm Italian and, trust me, Italian music nowadays is crap). Secondly because their songs have nothing to envy of those played on the radio. So feel free to enjoy their music wherever you want! I hope to see more kpop reactions!
20:41 THANK YOU for appreciating all vocals here! 🫶🏼 This is the first reaction someone really listens and makes any comments about Sehunnie's (the rapper on the right) vocals 😭❤️
Actually there's also one that praised Sehun a lot in YT but I did not remember his channel because he accuse Chen of being 'cannot control his voice' and Baekhyun 'sounfs like autotune' I was like 'bruh! I like that you praise Sehun but how could you to the holy trinity 😂'
fun fact, chen (white shirt, highest tenor) can actually go the lowest of them all. if you want to hear him sing lower, you should listen (or react) to his masked singer performance of "drunken truth"
Thanks for reacting to Exo, Exo is a VERY strong vocal group, i think they don't show enough of their vocals here in the killing voice please react to their individual stuff: *Baekhyun: All i got (A really high song), cry for love and Bambi (Never disappoint) *Chen: May we bye (It's a must), hello, beautiful goodbye *D.O: Tell me what is love, somebody, Rose *Suho: Grey suit, Made in you, let's love Exo's powerful performances: *Really i didn't know. *Tell me what is love (Exo) *EXOrDIUM Wolf remix *Diamond + coming over + Run this + drop that + power performance *El dorado EXOlution live performance (IS A MUST)
Hey, it's my first time watching your EXO reaction video, and I really appreciate your analysis and admiration for this group (whom I'm a huge fan of, btw).. 😊 Anyway, if you want to check out some of EXO performances with choreo thrown in it, check out their "Diamond+Coming Over+Run This+Drop That+Power" Elyxion Concert in Seoul video, which was from their record-breaking Concert (that got sold out in *0.2 seconds* and became *the fastest sold-out concert in the world, by any artist* ). I guarantee you'll be blown away by them!!! 😉 There's also "MAMA+Monster+Wolf (remix)" Exordium Concert in Japan...which is another legendary performance by EXO. So, hopefully, I'll see you on your next EXO reaction video. Can't wait! Thanks. 😁
They can all hit an incredible range of notes, but Chen (centre in white) is the one that hits the highest and lowest consistently and comfortably within songs. Baekhyun (silver hair) also has a huge range and is often given the higher ad libs. Male Kpop traditionally, and especially SM groups, aim for tenors who can hit the high notes. Having singers comfortable in lower ranges is more unusual. This Killing Voice performance allowed Chen and Baekhyun to shine, which is always a good thing, but if you want to see more of the skills of their third Main Vocalist D.O. (next to the tall rapper on the left), you should check out their concert acoustic medley.
This was a very entertaining reaction, EXO are always super good live, one of the very best in the industry. I'm sure you'd also enjoy a lot the Killing voice for BTOB, another third gen group who are right next to EXO in terms if vocal excellence. Looking forward to more reactions from you :)
You’re definitely right about K-pop mixing the traditional and electronic instruments and making a unique sound from that blend. It’s something that 2nd and 3rd gen groups did especially. One group that comes to mind is Infinite, who’s just a little older than EXO, super famous for creating this orchestral electronic thing in their music. Destiny, Bad, Back, and The Chaser all come to mind from them as songs that would be good examples. On the girls’ side, The fifth season by Oh My Girl would be a good one to check out. Appreciated your analysis of EXO!
Okay so EXO has 3 main vocalists(more like top 3 vocalists of 3rd generation of kpop) Chen(Highest Tenor) -> Has widest range in general in group. Ballads, Rock is his forte, recommendation-> watch out, Hello etc D.O.(One standing next to the Baritone rapper) -> Best vocal tone in kpop for me, Rnb master, incredible diction and vocal chops.(My fav vocalist in general)-> Tell me what is love, re-write the star cover, his iu pallete performance etc Baekhyun(Silver Hair Guy )-> Master of 5th Octave, most flexible vocalist in the group, Best solo discography for me, and he also goes crazy high, known as Rnb king and 3 times million seller. -> cry for love, all i got, bambi, etc
some vocal power song recommendations by the silver haired guy, baekhyun, are : all i got, cry for love, bambi, and pineapple slice (his newest single). I also recommend ATEEZ's and BigMama's killing voices. you'll be blown away. ATEEZ's main vocal and baekhyun were trained by the same vocal coach, and are his top 2 favorite students LOL.
26:19 he does actually open his mouth wider for high notes during concerts but in this performance he was holding himself back since it’s a medley and they were making sure that the energy of all the songs stays about the same 30:34 that tenor actually has the lowest and the highest range in the group lmao. he just doesn’t get to flex his lower range a lot
I think Chen is trying to not get his voice picked up by the other members' mics so he doesn't project as much or open his mouth as much. When BTOB did their Killing Voice their mics were too close together plus they all have really loud voices so their audios overlapped and there was some post production editing done because of that. I believe Chen is trying to avoid something like that, we all know his voice resonates a lot.
no he's not, thats like calling onew an opera singer cuz he did it once at smtown, becoming an opera singer takes 8+ years and a degree, he was just singing normally imitating an opera style, wasn't actual opera singing
He's a musical actor who can do some operatic type vocals. He's not an opera singer, in fact I don't think there's any actual opera singer in kpop. If you want to listen to actual opera singers in the Korean music industry go watch the Phantom Singer performances and check out the groups that were formed from it, like Forestella, La Poem, Crezl and more.
Thank you for reacting EXO, more EXO reaction please, this is for your recommendations: 1. EXO - El Dorado 2. EXO - MAMA, Monster, Wolf Remix 3. EXO - Drop That Thank youuu so much
I love these Killing voices to learn more about the voices of the different members! Loved your analysis and would be so interested to hear what you have to say about the BTOB Killing Voice (and also the Ateez and Seventeen Killing Voice, but primarly BTOB!!), I think you could give us a lot of insight!:)
Chen (high tenor in the middle) has the widest range in the group and can actually hit the lowest notes! He does some things when singing that kind of defy logic (such as keeping his mouth closed when most would open it wide as you pointed out) bc hes one of those golden throat people that doesnt really need to follow the “rules” 😅
This reaction and analysis is so enjoyable. I can tell how much you love singing and music and how interesting you find them. Exo is my favorite group and I’ve listened to all these songs hundreds if not thousands 😅 of times since I’ve been their fan for over a decade. Even so, I learned so much and “heard” new things in these songs because of your analysis…. Now what if I tell you many of exo’s b-sides are just as good or better than their tittle tracks! Please do listen to their discography and also their solo work… as of this comment 8 of 9 of them have released solo albums, some as many as 4 solo albums. And every member has solo songs. Exo and the the members of the group are a music lovers dream come true 💛 thank you for this video and I hope you do more Exo reaction and analysis videos
Absolutely love the long*ss reaction with all the vocal tech details, we have been hungry for this for awhile now! Looking forward to your analysis on the live cuts from their concerts! Subscription is guaranteed then!
fun fact that Chen the one in the middle with all white can reach the highest note and lowest note also, you should watch "Chen Tears in original famale key-knowing brothers ep85" and "EXO Drop that" it’s Live and it’s so gooooooood🙏❤️
The group originally had 12 members, 3 of them (China line) fell out because of mishap with the company while Lay (last Chinese member) was stuck because of his political position in China (both countries have a beef with each other so their artist can't continue their profession in other country), meanwhile Kai was in military when Killing Voice came out. Exo is still 9 members groups, just that because of issues they can't be whole.
I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis and learned from you. As for me, the best voices I hear are always from SM. I won't deny that there are great voices from other companies of course, but when I listen to a group and I love and feel all the members' voices, that only happens with SM groups. Since you've heard EXO's Killing Voice, now you should listen to TVXQ and Taemin's Killing Voice. thanks 🤍
Oh my goodness, EXO was one of my favorites when I used to be really into kpop, and what a coincidence I saw this from you just as I decided to get back into kpop this week! Their vocals are so exceptional and work so well together. I really enjoyed your reaction! Definitely looking forward to more EXO, or maybe their labelmates' Red Velvet Killing Voice? They're my ultimate favorite group hehe
One of the main rappers, Chanyeol and one of the main vocalists, Baekhyun recently released their solo albums. You should check it out. Though Chanyeol is the main rapper is the group, his album is more singing focused. Only one song in the whole album is rap based.
This is my first video of yours I've seen and I have to say I really enjoyed hearing you give such detailed analysis of their vocals as well as the music production! As an exo-l of 12 years I've heard these songs probably thousands of times but you pointed out things in the production that my music-novice ears haven't even picked up before and that's really cool!! As a fan I know VERY WELL that these dudes can sing so I love that you bring something new to the discussion with your commentary and if you decide to go deeper into exo, I'll definitely subscribe and come along!
Lo mas increible es que no lo hicieron en varias tomas como los demas grupos, se logro en la primera , eso es realmente por lo cual los llaman reyes vocales de kpop
You will really have fun reacting to exo. The best part of them is that you'll notice how much they improved over the years. They just keep unlocking new levels skill wise. It doesn't matter vocals or dancing. The very kpop groups I see have true passion for music and you can tell that they love their job.
Hello my good people! Due to this INCREDIBLE performance being 15 songs by Exo, monetization was unfortunately not possible.

Agree 👍🏻 You can also find those low range of Chen in his singing crazy riff challenge. I was absolutely shocked
Too bad they didn't sing Tempo in this one, i really wanted to hear that a capella part.
they did it at their fancon.
Visit EXOs channel they have their own version of KV and Tempo is included in that medley❤
Acoustic medley or B side medley is a must! Unfortunately this killing voice didnt show Kyungsoo's vocal ability a lot since all his killing parts where almosy all cut (he's the main vocalist together with Chen, high note king, & Baekhyun, silver hair.

as an EXO-L i’m really appreciate your comment❤️
Army here too and I completely agree I really enjoy EXO’s live performances
same!! I'm an army and I love exo, they are kind and very talented men
exotannies stay winning! i love the respectful way you wrote your opinion. love seeing armys and exols getting along ❤️

I'd like to see you to do EXO - Tempo analysis.
Yes!!
Of course
Yes! Tempo!
Please ❤
💯💯💯
13:38 pausing on Kyungsoo for your sidebar on language is so perfect! A song from his first solo album is entirely in Spanish (Si Fueras Mia) and his pronunciation was so good = that a bunch of native speakers (listening blind) were convinced he was _also_ a native Spanish speaker-they only disagreed on which country in Latin America he was from, each trying to claim him for themselves lol
I'd love to claim Kyungsoo was from my country 🇨🇱 even as a joke, but our accents are too dissimilar 😅 loved Si Fueras Mia tho, great song.
Thank you for noticing Xiumin, the guy with the denim/blue ensemble. He's underrated but a hidden gem!
They still have 9 members. At the time of this recording, one is was in China and the other doing his military service.
I think you'll like All i Got by Baekhyun, the guy with the silver hair, its just him flexing with all the high notes
Edit: and as others said Cry For Life is another incredible one from the same album that shows off his range and vocal tone really well!
Up
Yes and Cry For Love, that song has been so overshadowed and shows his vocal progression and growth so beautifully. When I listened to his City Lights album I thought he couldn't possibly get any better but he proved us all wrong!
Cry for love is such a masterpiece 😭💕
Yess please reaction
Masterpiece song "All I Got" and "Cry For Love"

You should react to BTOB's killing voice too!...EXO and BTOB have one of the best vocal lines in the industry, seriously.
As an EXO- L.. I agree. BTOB vocals are no joke.
@@Unstoppable_xo the biggest fandom from the best talent of kpop group admiring anothers that classs... BTOB ofc. One best of vocal group..
Incredible excellent video a master class thanks EXO ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the comment :]
Omg! I LOVE this reaction! Don't sleep on kpop's vocal kings. Can't wait for the deep dive on EXO!
Waiting your reaction and analysis to EXO's TEMPO 😊
I've been EXO's fan since 2014 and they never disappoint. They're amazing musicians.
Same
Great reaction. When it comes to Killing Voice boyband EXO and BTOB are on the top tier of vocal and performance.
Yup, EXO and BTOB at the very top, and imo they're followed by Highlight and Infinite.
The way you said "rappers sings as well" really makes me smile... Yeah they are rappers but they are also a great singers❤❤
I swear once you go down the exo rabbit hole there’s so much treasure to find. Their solos, LIVE PERFORMANCES, b-sides, acapellas? There’s just so much to look into
So true!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing analysis of the EMPIRES of kpop. Every EХO song will impress you, but their concert performances will give you perfect vocals, stunning harmony, killer dance and captivating vision. See for yourself - MAMA + Monster + Wolf In Japan; EXO(엑소)- LIGHTSABER + TRANSFORMER + Overdose🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Next please B-Side Medley 2024 by EXO

Thx for the reaction, one of EXO's main vocalist *"Baekhyun"* dropped his 4th mini-album, plllz check out the title track *"Pineapple slice"* mv
PS: he is the 2nd from the right with silver hair, he is also in *Leage of kegends "Heartsteel"*
EXO is K-pop 's vocal power house.
There are so much content to analyse their pur talent...🤣
If we are still here after 12 years, 3 members leaving at the few years of their debuts, all the dramas, the long hiatus due to their military services etc....if it wasn't because of how good they are, there wouldn't be still as much fans as of now...a lot of people are still discovering Exo now and loving their music...their b-sides, be it from their group albums or their solo albums...masterpieces after masterpieces...you'll see as you dig in it, how sophisticated and brillant their music can be...
1 hour reaction and analysis of Exo? Loving it!! This is why, for me, they are my #1 male group in kpop.
Their acoustic Medley is a good one as well. I'll link it below.
Yes, please react to some of the songs they performed here on Killing Voice.
Also check out Tempo (one of my faves.)
ruclips.net/video/eXp3ted3kbs/видео.htmlsi=UaZuAenlSMF6z3Ih
The man in the middle is Chen. He has 4 ballad mini albums and 1 rock japanese mini album. Please react to his latest song Empty.
EXO has 3 main vocalists, Chen, Baekhyun and D.O, also considered as the vocal trinity of kpop.
Thanks for reacting to EXO.
Love Chen’s Japanese album so much ❤
50;49 Chanyeol points out D.O to look at the camera while he sings but apart from the fact that he is somewhat shy he has already said that it is professional deformation, apart from being an incredible singer (here it is not shown at all what he is capable of doing) he is a great actor with more than 30 awards and as an actor he never stares at the camera so as an idol it is difficult for him to do it...
I was disappointed watching this. D.O. Has sooo many amazing singing parts, none of which have been included in this
Until this day, Chen is the best korean vocalist.....Exo is an impressing group, u should check more of them...they can do everything...so proud of them❤❤❤❤
I love when he pointed out Xiumin’s part in Don’t Go (the light high note) and Cream Soda (the low dip). Yes, that’s our ace!
Finally, this EXO happened on this channel. I'm going to watch the episode right now
Been wanting this reaction since the first time you checked out EXO😊😊😊
I'm so proud of EXO vocals, music, rap, dance. Makes aeris really happy to hear profesional people like their music.
Ty for the reaction, wish you keep reacting to EXO in the future 🤍
EXO voices are so AMAZING!, Thank you Peter 🤩
sweet lies live performance 🎉legend
You MUST react to BTOB or Seventeen killing voice. I think you’ll fall for them! Thanks for the video!
I love your in-depth analysis! I really hope you can check out BTOB sometime in the future, they're really talented vocalist and have also done a Killing Voice video. Their type of music is different from EXO, it's not as groovy but they do have a nice variety of styles. BTOB also have nice vocal range and some great harmonies
This is the best reaction video I’ve seen for exo’s killing voice! I really enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much ❤️
I’m really excited to see you getting to know them more, i’ve been a fan since debut and they have never disappointed me, i’m sure you’ll be having a lot of fun 🥰
Power is such a 'energizer bunny' song 😂 and do you know EXO performed that song in the 2018 Winter Olympics closing ceremony.
Please react to DO on Lee Mujin Service!!! He’s one of the main vocals in this group. He doesn’t have a lot of lines here, but this video showcases his talent!!
Up
Up
DO is probably my bias among the top three, probably because he has a more soulful approach to his vocals.
Agree. I rewatch him on Lee Mujin all the time.
up up up 💪💪💪
Exo is the group!!! Vocals, visuals, live performances, etc. 8/9 members with soloists albums, all incredible. You need a lot of time to cover their discography.
If you know EXO, you do understand their live performance were all incredible and unbelievable
i would love to see your reaction to the btob killing voice as well!! they are insanely talented singers and very well known in the idol industry for their amazing vocals
Thank you so so much for your analysis. It always makes me happy when someone discovers how amazing kpop is. Exo are absolutely amazing and deserve to be known worlwide on par with western artists. First of all because from a vocal point of view they are exceptional and much better than most American, English, Italian, etc. singers (I'm Italian and, trust me, Italian music nowadays is crap). Secondly because their songs have nothing to envy of those played on the radio. So feel free to enjoy their music wherever you want! I hope to see more kpop reactions!
20:41 THANK YOU for appreciating all vocals here! 🫶🏼 This is the first reaction someone really listens and makes any comments about Sehunnie's (the rapper on the right) vocals 😭❤️
Actually there's also one that praised Sehun a lot in YT but I did not remember his channel because he accuse Chen of being 'cannot control his voice' and Baekhyun 'sounfs like autotune' I was like 'bruh! I like that you praise Sehun but how could you to the holy trinity 😂'
Pls also watch LET ME IN mv by EXO
you gotta see the live performance

Please also react to EXO B-side Medley. They did it the killing voice style.
fun fact, chen (white shirt, highest tenor) can actually go the lowest of them all. if you want to hear him sing lower, you should listen (or react) to his masked singer performance of "drunken truth"
Thanks for reacting to Exo, Exo is a VERY strong vocal group, i think they don't show enough of their vocals here in the killing voice please react to their individual stuff:
*Baekhyun: All i got (A really high song), cry for love and Bambi (Never disappoint)
*Chen: May we bye (It's a must), hello, beautiful goodbye
*D.O: Tell me what is love, somebody, Rose
*Suho: Grey suit, Made in you, let's love
Exo's powerful performances:
*Really i didn't know.
*Tell me what is love (Exo) *EXOrDIUM Wolf remix
*Diamond + coming over + Run this + drop that + power performance
*El dorado EXOlution live performance (IS A MUST)
Those live performances on stage are really good, u must watch them sing while dancing on stage
Up please
I agree - while I love this Killing Voice it showcase EXO's "greatest hits" more than some of the crazy vocals these guys can do.
Hey, it's my first time watching your EXO reaction video, and I really appreciate your analysis and admiration for this group (whom I'm a huge fan of, btw).. 😊
Anyway, if you want to check out some of EXO performances with choreo thrown in it, check out their "Diamond+Coming Over+Run This+Drop That+Power" Elyxion Concert in Seoul video, which was from their record-breaking Concert (that got sold out in *0.2 seconds* and became *the fastest sold-out concert in the world, by any artist* ). I guarantee you'll be blown away by them!!! 😉 There's also "MAMA+Monster+Wolf (remix)" Exordium Concert in Japan...which is another legendary performance by EXO.
So, hopefully, I'll see you on your next EXO reaction video. Can't wait! Thanks. 😁
Bien Peter estaba esperando con muchas ansias su reacción a los maravillosos EXO, muchas gracias.
They can all hit an incredible range of notes, but Chen (centre in white) is the one that hits the highest and lowest consistently and comfortably within songs. Baekhyun (silver hair) also has a huge range and is often given the higher ad libs. Male Kpop traditionally, and especially SM groups, aim for tenors who can hit the high notes. Having singers comfortable in lower ranges is more unusual. This Killing Voice performance allowed Chen and Baekhyun to shine, which is always a good thing, but if you want to see more of the skills of their third Main Vocalist D.O. (next to the tall rapper on the left), you should check out their concert acoustic medley.
This was a very entertaining reaction, EXO are always super good live, one of the very best in the industry. I'm sure you'd also enjoy a lot the Killing voice for BTOB, another third gen group who are right next to EXO in terms if vocal excellence.
Looking forward to more reactions from you :)
You’re definitely right about K-pop mixing the traditional and electronic instruments and making a unique sound from that blend. It’s something that 2nd and 3rd gen groups did especially. One group that comes to mind is Infinite, who’s just a little older than EXO, super famous for creating this orchestral electronic thing in their music. Destiny, Bad, Back, and The Chaser all come to mind from them as songs that would be good examples. On the girls’ side, The fifth season by Oh My Girl would be a good one to check out. Appreciated your analysis of EXO!
I hope they make music for us for a long time, ‘cause no one does it like them! EXO L for life! ❤
6/9 members are musical theatre actors as well, including one of the main rappers.
Okay so EXO has 3 main vocalists(more like top 3 vocalists of 3rd generation of kpop)
Chen(Highest Tenor) -> Has widest range in general in group. Ballads, Rock is his forte, recommendation-> watch out, Hello etc
D.O.(One standing next to the Baritone rapper) -> Best vocal tone in kpop for me, Rnb master, incredible diction and vocal chops.(My fav vocalist in general)-> Tell me what is love, re-write the star cover, his iu pallete performance etc
Baekhyun(Silver Hair Guy )-> Master of 5th Octave, most flexible vocalist in the group, Best solo discography for me, and he also goes crazy high, known as Rnb king and 3 times million seller. -> cry for love, all i got, bambi, etc
Best intro..just a little mistake dear. Maybe you wanted to write 3 times a million seller for Baekhyun.
@@ForlifeNA oh got it, i added exo to his solo achievement in excitement of spilling facts😂
That silver hair guy did a cover in more deep voice (?) called “A letter”
Please check it out, it was a hard song
nobody does it like EXO!!!
some vocal power song recommendations by the silver haired guy, baekhyun, are : all i got, cry for love, bambi, and pineapple slice (his newest single). I also recommend ATEEZ's and BigMama's killing voices. you'll be blown away. ATEEZ's main vocal and baekhyun were trained by the same vocal coach, and are his top 2 favorite students LOL.
Can you imagine?? I would die to hear Jongho & Baekhyun together
Can’t wait you to check out BTOB dingo killing voice 😃🙏🏻
whenever i listen to first snow i want to be on my knees and pray for everyone health and happiness
26:19 he does actually open his mouth wider for high notes during concerts but in this performance he was holding himself back since it’s a medley and they were making sure that the energy of all the songs stays about the same
30:34 that tenor actually has the lowest and the highest range in the group lmao. he just doesn’t get to flex his lower range a lot
I think Chen is trying to not get his voice picked up by the other members' mics so he doesn't project as much or open his mouth as much. When BTOB did their Killing Voice their mics were too close together plus they all have really loud voices so their audios overlapped and there was some post production editing done because of that. I believe Chen is trying to avoid something like that, we all know his voice resonates a lot.
Suho (yellow shirt) he is the opera singer. You can hear his vocals as opera singer in mozart live stage
Yes it is so incredible, her voice is very very well suited to singing opera
no he's not, thats like calling onew an opera singer cuz he did it once at smtown, becoming an opera singer takes 8+ years and a degree, he was just singing normally imitating an opera style, wasn't actual opera singing
Suho did 2 main act in theater, he did the 'the man who laughs' and 'mozart'... @triplej8666, I guess you missed some information..
He's a musical actor who can do some operatic type vocals. He's not an opera singer, in fact I don't think there's any actual opera singer in kpop. If you want to listen to actual opera singers in the Korean music industry go watch the Phantom Singer performances and check out the groups that were formed from it, like Forestella, La Poem, Crezl and more.
54:12 Chen giveing the shout out to the producers of the song "London Noise". Such a great start to an amazing concert banger
I love the appreciation for Chen’s vocals (the all white guy)
EXO muestra en este video solo una pequeña, pequenísima parte de las joyas musicales y el talento que posée, gracias Peter
Thank you for reacting EXO, more EXO reaction please, this is for your recommendations:
1. EXO - El Dorado
2. EXO - MAMA, Monster, Wolf Remix
3. EXO - Drop That
Thank youuu so much
I love these Killing voices to learn more about the voices of the different members! Loved your analysis and would be so interested to hear what you have to say about the BTOB Killing Voice (and also the Ateez and Seventeen Killing Voice, but primarly BTOB!!), I think you could give us a lot of insight!:)
I would absolutely LOVE and APPRECIATE you reacting to BTOB Killing Voice. They are absolutely jaw dropping as well.
Chen (high tenor in the middle) has the widest range in the group and can actually hit the lowest notes! He does some things when singing that kind of defy logic (such as keeping his mouth closed when most would open it wide as you pointed out) bc hes one of those golden throat people that doesnt really need to follow the “rules” 😅
Chen does have the loudest voice, too. 😂 Observe that when he sing he goes a little far from the mic.😅
This reaction and analysis is so enjoyable. I can tell how much you love singing and music and how interesting you find them. Exo is my favorite group and I’ve listened to all these songs hundreds if not thousands 😅 of times since I’ve been their fan for over a decade. Even so, I learned so much and “heard” new things in these songs because of your analysis….
Now what if I tell you many of exo’s b-sides are just as good or better than their tittle tracks! Please do listen to their discography and also their solo work… as of this comment 8 of 9 of them have released solo albums, some as many as 4 solo albums. And every member has solo songs. Exo and the the members of the group are a music lovers dream come true 💛 thank you for this video and I hope you do more Exo reaction and analysis videos
EXO’s predebut song “What is love” is full of great vocals, please react to it
CHEN 💖💖💖
Please deep dive into EXO!! They’re so much talented that you can’t imagine.
Thankyou peter 😊😊
Absolutely love the long*ss reaction with all the vocal tech details, we have been hungry for this for awhile now! Looking forward to your analysis on the live cuts from their concerts! Subscription is guaranteed then!
fun fact that Chen the one in the middle with all white can reach the highest note and lowest note also, you should watch "Chen Tears in original famale key-knowing brothers ep85" and "EXO Drop that" it’s Live and it’s so gooooooood🙏❤️
And "EXO’S CHEN BEST VOCALS" if you interested ❤
The group originally had 12 members, 3 of them (China line) fell out because of mishap with the company while Lay (last Chinese member) was stuck because of his political position in China (both countries have a beef with each other so their artist can't continue their profession in other country), meanwhile Kai was in military when Killing Voice came out.
Exo is still 9 members groups, just that because of issues they can't be whole.
Fun fact, Exo performed Power during the 2018 Winter Olympics
I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis and learned from you. As for me, the best voices I hear are always from SM. I won't deny that there are great voices from other companies of course, but when I listen to a group and I love and feel all the members' voices, that only happens with SM groups. Since you've heard EXO's Killing Voice, now you should listen to TVXQ and Taemin's Killing Voice. thanks 🤍
Love all the analysis in this reaction video.
Two EXO songs not in this medley that I think you would like are Tempo and Obsession.
wow! it was such a nice one-hour. I enjoyed it so much. thank you. EXO is a vocal vocal group you know
Oh my goodness, EXO was one of my favorites when I used to be really into kpop, and what a coincidence I saw this from you just as I decided to get back into kpop this week!
Their vocals are so exceptional and work so well together. I really enjoyed your reaction!
Definitely looking forward to more EXO, or maybe their labelmates' Red Velvet Killing Voice? They're my ultimate favorite group hehe
Will definitely wait for your EXO analysis, review or breakdown in the future
You were amaze right now , you will how good they are in their concert singing live while dancing ,and their acoustic you will love it
JONGDAE ♥️
One of the main rappers, Chanyeol and one of the main vocalists, Baekhyun recently released their solo albums. You should check it out. Though Chanyeol is the main rapper is the group, his album is more singing focused. Only one song in the whole album is rap based.
This is my first video of yours I've seen and I have to say I really enjoyed hearing you give such detailed analysis of their vocals as well as the music production! As an exo-l of 12 years I've heard these songs probably thousands of times but you pointed out things in the production that my music-novice ears haven't even picked up before and that's really cool!! As a fan I know VERY WELL that these dudes can sing so I love that you bring something new to the discussion with your commentary and if you decide to go deeper into exo, I'll definitely subscribe and come along!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed and appreciated the analysis :]
Whenever i see ppl react to Chen they truly feel it❤
Chen really is a gem for music❤
I love how all their voices go so well together. Xiumin is the ace of EXO and truly all of them are super talented
I would like to recommend paper cuts from exo-cbx (the one with silver hair, the one wearing all jeans and the "highest tenor")
I like your analogy of them passing the baton. I’ve never been able to exactly describe how well they take over from each other, blending perfectly.
Lo mas increible es que no lo hicieron en varias tomas como los demas grupos, se logro en la primera , eso es realmente por lo cual los llaman reyes vocales de kpop
Really enjoyed your reaction! You should try BtoB Killing Voice for some more great and contrasting vocal timbres ❤
You will really have fun reacting to exo. The best part of them is that you'll notice how much they improved over the years. They just keep unlocking new levels skill wise. It doesn't matter vocals or dancing. The very kpop groups I see have true passion for music and you can tell that they love their job.
Thank you so much for the reaction they are soo good in every aspect ❤
