Kpop doesn't debut groups with different excellent vocal textures like EXO anymore. Protect them at all costs, they are basically an endangered species at this point in the industry.
Ikr, the reason it took me so less time to recognize the members and their voices is because they were so different in visuals and vocals, in most groups now the voice texture of the members is similar to each other that it's hard to tell the voice apart.
You watch Baekhyun relax into the music. His vocals melt as it goes on. These days, he starts confident, he knows even if things go wrong he is greatly loved and greatly respected and he can own the moment, but back then the pressure must have been immense. Being a main vocalist in a SM group is no easy task.
Absolutely! You can feel their nerves and the beginning is always the hardest bit. Also Baekhyun really felt like he had a lot to prove back then (I know they all did) because he had been training for such a short period of time (along with Chen) in comparison with the others. Proving that you deserve that role must have been such a weight to bear.
Not to mention Baekhyun and Chen only had 4 months of vocal training, rest 7 months were for performance and debut training. It must be so hard getting to adjust to new vocal techniques. It was more visible in Mama era but thankfully they managed well in XOXO era.
Whenever some fans make excuses for subpar performances from their fave artists (in and out of kpop)…. I always think of rookie Exo… excellent from the very beginning and just kept getting unbelievably better as time went on
This video is such a trip down memory lane. From day one, they were truly incredible in their singing. It's amazing to consider all the training they did to still continue to improve and reach the level they're at now.
Yesss I agree on what the gentleman has said EXO are really that talented people were so shook with their talent as a rookie that period of time ! The even invited Chen and Baekhyun to a classical show in 2013 to compete with a whole classical singers in Korea and ROCK that stage they made people cry the stage is called Chen Baekhyun really i didn’t know (the immortal live) + HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR DAUGHTER 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 may god raise her with goodness all of her life.
Suho's habit of turning to the side when he sings, in early days, was probably from someone telling him he looked funny when he opens his mouth wide for certain notes. They mention something similar with Luhan in an episode of EXO's Showtime when they're doing a holding a note contest & in a later episode they mention Luhan learned to "save his face" by turning his back to the camera~
The other members were there at this recording; there's even an interview segment with the rest of the members. There's also another "stage" where four of them sing a cover of 'Open Arms' that is an EXO-L favorite~~~^.^
thing about exo is they are already talented since predebut. training under SM, they polished their skills. and they never stopped training their vocals and raps even after debut. just imagine their predebut release was "WHAT IS LOVE" and their debut song is "MAMA" ???!! the calibre of those songs represent the calibre of the rookie group called EXO. they are destined for greatness and will be for a long time. Lay once told that to finalize the memberS who will be debuted under EXO name, 120 best SM trainees competed with each others for 10 weeks. every week they cut off trainees based on their performances - like vocal performance, dance,raps etc. until finally they chose 12 best of the best trainees to continue be debuted as EXO. Hence, EXO quality. it's already hard to even pass SM audition. let alone be 12 best trainees after weeks of competition? wow
From day one their talent was evident! They are also the only group where I can distinguish between each of their voices because of their tones and textures! Happy birthday Daisy! Have a great day! 😊😊
i really love excellent singing, moreso when the singing sounds better live than the studio version. EXO is that group for me. Even as soloists, they're also top-tier. that they are also excellent dancers and incredible visuals are pleasant bonus for me. the thing is, over time idols can't always perform their old song but the songs will always be timeless. they're not just trends. Baby Don't Cry is a 10-year old song but it stil slaps.
Babies.... and they have such a rollercoaster of major highs and lows ahead of them. I can't help but thinking of that whenever I see their early performances. xx
The lyrics for this always get me, this song is too beautiful and Chanyeol's rap and the adlibs ❤ The concert version is too good Happy birthday to daisy, it's also my younger brother's birthday but he's sick
In this era, there are also a few more from the radio shows that might interest you, such as this one when they sang the edited lyrics of their songs sent in by the fans studio live: [ENG SUB] 130813 EXO at Sukira [Growl, Wolf, Peter Pan, History -- edited lyrics] From ..and also this "the last time" by Chen & D.O.: 130530 - Sukira Radio EXO Chen and D.O: The Last Time From
Love this era so much. This era n overdose era. They came like a storm in this era. Everything they do is a trend setter and also a level marker for new group after them. I grow up in this era n this era will always b my home. Later era is good too but this will always b my top 1 n 2. I understand if other ppl dont really like xoxo era.bcoz its old n had ppl that we dont like. N i also understand if its gonna b cut short. Im just thankfull that u guys do this exospective for this era no matter how long or short it will b. Thank u so much simon n kerry for reacting at this old gem of a vid
An iconic performance! The babies are babying 😆 I don't know what's with them and holding the mics like they're afraid of them, but I have noticed that Chanyeol still holds his one far away when he's harmonizing, probably not to overtake too much (
If you guys have watched this then must also watch "Exo Open Arms" in this same place. ❤ That sequence solidifies so many people as their fans and also proved that despite being rookies, they can SING.

Love your reaction ❤now please react to Nayeon's ABCD mv it's fire bro this song jst released and trending worldwide already 🔥Nayeon is from famous kpop girl group called twice she is back with 2nd mini album whole album is masterpiece itself ❤🔥👑
Not even acknowledging and talking through Kyungsoo's incredibly CryYyyYyyy adlib is criminal 😂😂
9:05 kyungsoo’s CRYYYYyyyYYYyyy is pure excellence
The fonts really expressed his runs well lmao 😭

Another foursome that’s soooo good is Open Arms with Luhan, Chen, DO, and Baekyun. Probably around the same time. You’ll love it.

They likely had like 1 hours sleep, performed at 4 or 5 other radio shows. Did 1 or 2 music shows etc. This era was crazy for them. Just non stop.

aaaah Kyungsoo's iconic CryYyyYyyy here needed more appreciation :D
6:41 You can put members together randomly and they will harmonize perfectly 👍🏻👍🏻
Please watch the concert version of this song. It's wonderful.

They had really red eyes. During their rookie years they didnt get proper rest and were all over the place. Also the talent since day one!

Suho always sang to the side at the beginning. Something he had to work on. Look at him now!
This is so so gorgeous ❤❤❤
The live verson of this with kai and sehun dancing is amazing too. Ànd chen and do duet of The Last Time.
Omg I hope to react to their Chinese show appearance as well.....happy camp. It was fun and emotional
When you get a chance, not necessarily to react to but just something to listen to, check out Chen and Baekhyun’s cover of Just Once. Take care!
4:18 he had a habit of turning his head to the side while singing 😂😅 he worked hard to stop doing it
At last!
