It is noticable that Ahyeon works in other to improve her high note, knowing how this one is difficult. This one was perfect. I love how talented and hard working she is ❤❤

[@aishajen]

I love how Ahyeon is getting better control of her voice lately. She sounds less pitchy than usual, as people complained before. The good thing is that she didn't take those criticisms to heart instead, she used them to improve herself. Her vocals sound more relaxed now.

[@elfy2006]

I agree with you on Ahyeon high note ! She sounded really good here !

[@babarian_crow]

Parita and Rami have voices that share the same vocal line. Parita has a high voice and Rami has a low voice. Producers often have the two of them sing in succession when there is a change in pitch in a verse of the song.

[@Idkbm_iwi]

They don’t have a leader; they officially announced that they don’t need or want one. However, Ruka is the dance leader of the group, while Rami and Ahyeon are the vocal leaders. Additionally, Rora serves as the group’s spokesperson. Ruka, being the oldest, manages the schedule and starts the greetings. She takes on about 70% of the leader’s responsibilities, while the rest of the members contribute in other areas.

[@Emilejg]

There an announcement in Baemon News7 said there is no one leader, that Baby Monster functions best when everyone takes a leadership mentality

[@claravipassana2588]

What I also notice is that Asa is taking care of the group like a mom (members like to ask about her opinion, and she comforts/reassure members when in doubt, that's why she's named as the mom of the group), and Pharita acts like an older sister where she guides them of how to react/answer/behave in certain surroundings (eg. hinting chiquita in an tricky interview, protecting ahyeon in a photo pose,etc) and also makes everyone feel involved/stay together ❤

[@OMGLYRIC123]

Ruka is defacto leader. Same like minji from newjeans, jennie from blackpink,.

[@OMGLYRIC123]

Mom in group is not leader meaning 😂​@@claravipassana2588

[@Cherrylemonade-x9t]

Ohhh Rami is killing me softly with her vocal powers☀️✨

[@MEnubnub]

my fav moments were probably the ramyeon (rami+ahyeon) duets! Their "FOREVER" performance on It's Live was one of my favs, now its DRIP 😂

[@joagooo]

Agree 💯

[@MidnytCypher]

I'm for more unit work from those two, their voices sound so good together. Their forever performance remains my fave

[@boystears-b8w]

You know, sometimes I watch Rami sing and wonder "is it her peak?" Cause she's just so incredibly stable, powerful and skilled when it comes to vocals.😍 But then I remember how young she actually is and she just goes and does something EVEN MORE impressive each time. She looks like singing is literally her favourite thing in the entire world 🤧❤️

[@Bloodwyn013]

Wait, did she just casually hit the insane Ahyeon three notes two weeks post surgery? Damn. There is a good reason why people dont even want to cover this song.

[@Katriinka]

haha yes, I keep on forgetting I should not be singing now. With full support they would be bigger (louder) but these are like 70 percent there with weight. We will wait a bit for the 100 haha. Thank you though!

[@Christy-c3u]

7:37 I agree Asa has a gorgeous side profile , so ethereal 💝🐰✨

[@fictuu]

Ahyeon is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@yevgenyalekhinelargo1662]

What I noticed is Chiquita isn't as strong as the other members when it comes to singing, her parts are mostly not hard but her stage presence is just magnificent, besides her being the youngest, she really fits the power and overall aura of BabyMonster. Rora has this underrated vocals that isn't much heard as often but always strikes at her parts plus her vowels are great, she opens her mouth knowing what tone she is setting, Rami tho, no need to explain coz she's powerful, that unique tone is so Rami, Ahyeon too, she is just proving why she's an all-rounder and YG's first pick, now Asa with her great agility, she knows when to use her specialty which is the softer tone and switch to bigger ones, Pharita is most likely to be the most annoying one, imagine singing higher notes and hard parts and just singing it effortlessly like it's nothing? 😂, and Ruka, you can see her being the most experienced, she is such a great performer. Overall, BabyMonster is that group.

[@lyienj9251]

I like your explanation

[@venerac2759]

Great performance and great reaction! Love Rami's warmth and tone and Ahyeon killed it! Keep recovering well and looking forward to 2025 adventures with you!

[@nadahamdy714]

Yg said ahyeon has the potential of the leader but they didn't have official leader also most talking members are rora ruka rami ahyeon

[@브루나-l1v]

This was my favorite performance of drip, I love ahyeon's voice here! from the rap to her highnote, she sounds way more relaxed and comfortable and it's great to see

[@idowuajayi8721]

Unrelated.....or not Katrinka you have such a nice voice. Hearing you demonstrate how they were singing was so lovely to hear. I hope you recover well from surgery❤ I was also hoping you'd react to this performance. It was a Christmas treat for me as well. Loved it!

[@iamtoshii]

Yessss you said it all! 100% agreed.

[@iarraapolinar7214]

11:49 Yesss! Finally somebody notices that part of Ahyeon's. That's my favorite part of hers before she hit the 3 consecutive high notes. She killed that part, that's my favorite of hers with that look of a mischievous smile on her face and with that posture at that (men, she just put one of her hand on her waist like it's nothing and it's just a normal freaking day for her!) She's mocking me like, "Hey! watch me! I'll do it all again and you better listen to me carefully while I hit that high note!". She so freaking insame!! 🙂‍↔️🔥😈😂

I love how different members take leadership at different time like Ruka for greetings, Ahyeon and Rami for vocals, Rora for korean interviews and media appearances, Pharita and Ahyeon for non korean media activities. Even greeting Ruka does Japanese, Pharita does English, Ahyeon Chinese and Chiquita Thai

[@larasasmawati]

Rami's deep voice is heaven ❣️🫶

[@muhammadikmalothman4397]

Rora's voice is so soothing & pleasant to hear. I love her vocals so much.

[@xxprettylittlethings]

the official line from babymonster is that they feel they're best off when "all members act with qualities of a leader", which basically means that each member leads for different things whether it's a roll they take on stage, during practice, or behind the scenes.

They don't have a leader, all of them are the leader

[@hg.whoever]

Yeah I think YG on “YG” channel said that, right like as a confirmation?

[@joagooo]

I've seen Rami, Rora, and Ruka initiated the members to cite their introduction. This time it's Ruka. Maybe they assign one for each activity/event. So yeah, I guess they don't have a leader just like BP 😊

[@OMGLYRIC123]

Ruka is defacto leader. Same like minji from newjeans , or jennie from blackpink. It's not official but it's so obvious . Rami even said during japanese magazine that ruka is the one who lead them, involved in arranged schedule , monitored the youngest. Ruka have experience her past group that's why every greeting, hype the crowd, always ruka.

[@NerdChannelBrasil]

Asa and side profile is synonymous.

[@tirsyaypattiasina8053]

Ahyeon ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@getgreatstuff88getgreatstu8]

Rami did do a iconic triple High note progression on Love in my heart similar to Ahyeon on Drip but it has not been noticed and got lost because the YG producer cut the chorus in when Rami was in the middle of a triple progression high note belt. I thought a bit unfair to Rami not to showcase her triple High note progression.

[@Nyna21]

Rami high note is not even a bit similar to Ahyeon's one. The difficulty is not the same. And what? producer cut the chorus? What are you even talking about? Rami has her high note, which is different from Ahyeon's one, that is all.

[@getgreatstuff88getgreatstu8]

@Nyna21 see you lost the Rami triple progression High note that Rami did. Go listen again to Love in my heart. Rami did a very similar triple progression but it got lost as the chorus cut in while she was belting her triple progression high note.

[@akijhaz]

​​​​@@getgreatstuff88getgreatstu8 I want to correct it but don't get me wrong cause I love rami. Rami got 2 progressive note in love of my heart not 3, it just that she add flavor to her second note. But yeah she did great

[@getgreatstuff88getgreatstu8]

@@akijhaz you are wrong. There are KZbin videos that compare the 2 girls with chorus removed. Very clearly a triple progression of the same length of time.

[@Kidarimeow]

Actually Babymonster don’t have a leader position or other stated positions but Rora often introduces the group or starts organizing girls :) And talking about their cute finger gun greeting - yeah, that is what girls usually do before performing on stage, they showed that in behind the scenes/mv making videos on their official yt channel 🥰

[@Salihkhalasha]

Rami rora ❤❤❤

[@jl-rt5it]

Hmm, now I want to hear you sing it :) I do see Ayheon growing with more vocal training and I am looking forward to see her further improve when she is already so talented. I do prefer her when she sings with less Nasal and a warmer tone. I know YG has a tendency to encourage it, but I really dont enjoy the Nasal tones that much. At the moment Rami and Rora are my favorite vocalists. Ahyeon singing Monster... now that was my favorite piece by her.

[@cmdpc0024]

~ 2:11 Yes coach, they do that regularly. You might not be able to see it often since they mostly do it in the backstage. They often do their group cheer before performing to relax and boost their energy. Fun fact: Their group cheer was changed during drip era. Before, they were just facing in front while blowing their fingers. YG noticed it looked like blowing a candle and have low energy. So he suggested lifting it up 2:06, making it look like they're shooting upwards (aiming high). ~ 2:30 They don't have a leader just like their senior Blackpink. But they do have their tasks in the group. Like how Rora is the spokesperson and is assigned to explain their songs or anything that involves "speaking for the group" (like most group leaders do). Rami and Ahyeon lead when it comes to vocals while Ruka is in dance and also in managing/reminding them of their schedules. Pharita is the one assigned to speak for them in English (though everyone can speak in English) while Ahyeon is in Mandarin(Chinese). Asa, the mother of the group, manages the chores (but they're not living together anymore so it stopped). Ofc, let's include Chiquita, she's in charge of....wait, she's the baby, she doesn't need a task. 😝 Overall, Rora(1:37) and Ruka(1:48) are always the ones initiating the greetings/intro and outro (Idk what it's called😭) or when they're going to say goodbye which makes them look like the leaders.

[@kimc7632]

We need a rami solo can imagine how she’ll stand out alone like how rose did 🥹

[@jinwoochoi2208]

Officially, the leader hasn't been decided yet, but RORA usually plays the role of MC among them, leading these kinds of shows or events. And the finger gesture you mentioned was modified by YG himself during the DRIP M/V filming site. In fact, the original gesture was to raise the finger and blow it out silently while saying "whoo~", but YG pointed out this gesture had made the atmosphere a little bit downed because it looked like blowing out the candle flame. Instead he suggested pointing their fingers upwards like the feeling of shooting up. And I am interesting that you catched it :) You can see that finger gesture suggestion by YG at the last moment of 'DRIP & CLIK CLAK' SPECIAL PERFORMANCE VIDEO BEHIND clip. Anyway, I do really like and enjoy your reaction about BM. ^^"

There is no official leader in Baby Monster although Ruka did mention on a Knowing Bros channel on their Baby Monster BBQ outdoor camp variety show that she is the dance leader and Rami on the same show did mention she is the vocal leader. Rora has taken the MC role in many of the Baby Monster candid shows. Ruka seems to be opening for the group to introduce themselves on these live shows.

[@5166y]

the second i saw this performance of them i HAD to see your reaction. my jaw was on the absolute ground, they sounded IDENTICAL. to the studio version of the song!? ahyeon’s 3-progression high note sounded fucking CRAZY!! in my opinion this exact version of the note was my favourite she’s ever done. BM are crazy talented and i’m soo excited for their future :D

They do not have a specific leader. When they first released their Baemon news they stated that all members lead together and no one is specifically designated as the leader.

[@zmalik2006]

The way my jaw dropped when Ahyeon did the high note!!!! Even though I have no knowledge in vocal technique etc (except from your channel and another one), even I can hear and see how much more comfortable she is, and how much better it sounds already within a few months. Ahyeon’s positive attitude (despite hate) and love for her craft has clearly paid off, and you can see that more and more with every performance she gives us Monstiez.

Thank you for liking my comment on X and reacting to the girls’ performance ♥️🫶 to your questions..Babymonster doesn’t have a leader (it was officially announced and it was said that it’s best when every member embraces a leader’s mindset ) and also they do this “greeting” with the hand signs regularly e.g before shooting content or going on stage. We actually get to see this in various behind the scenes which is super cute 🥹✨

[@Emilejg]

Yes... They do this shooting in the air pre-performance thing before every performance, you'll see YG modifying it for them to make it more positive... In the behind the scenes or making of click clack drip.. And if you watch, as everyone should.... their 'BabyMonster- See you There ,Behind in Tokyo ' video....before they perform to go on stage every time they do this in a circle, also some great vocal moments in that video too and it's their first time performing in front of a full audience fans of two shows of 26,000 people.last May

Every time you react to a song I love I know it'll be good... not only a reaction but a mini attempt at the high notes? ❤ Lovely! And yes, I've listen to so many takes of this as well, you're right about this likely being the best of the high notes, much smoother than what she's used to doing. But overall they're all so skilled vocally, I simply hope we get more from them, it's a pleasure to see their songs evolve over time.

[@abcd-pj1bp]

Same here I'm also a sucker for rami's tonal quality. Like her voice holds so much of depth and weight it's hard to define. She is totally ready for her solo career even now . She has kind of a voice which i never imagined any of yg girl group would have but her modulation is quite strong she knows how to add spice but still complementing the group style
