[@UNCLEMOMO]

I’m in ore of their vocals when they sing together it’s so beautifully matched More reactions of XG to come thank you all for watching my reaction.

[@ductdang]

Should see Xtra Xtra where you can see the genius producer Jakops put this group together!

[@24Lifetimez.]

Yessir @unclemomo! Spot on about the harmonies. Their voices blend so good together. The Lead Vocalists and Sub Vocalists compliment each other perfectly. They were able to show their skills on this performance. I felt like there were opportunities to do the same on the other First Take performance for Shooting Star, but they played it conservative, and maybe in retrospect, they made it a point to go all out for this go around. I was very pleased to hear it. I am a music producer and song writer. I make a lot of vocal harmony arrangements for the artists I work with. These harmonies were executed flawlessly.

[@ariusbudiman7105]

They are not just a girl group but also vocal group. 🐺👽

[@UNCLEMOMO]

Yes they are 100

[@AsuraCloudwalker]

From left to right: Harvey, Hinata, Juria, Jurin (leader), Chisa, Cocona, Maya In age (oldest to youngest): Chisa, Hinata, Jurin, Harvey, Juria, Maya, Cocona (just turned 18-yrs-old this past Dec 6th) All can dance, all can sing, at least 4 are main rappers.

[@UNCLEMOMO]

Im gonna try my best to remember all their names llol thank you very much

[@user-wq9cw5bu6i]

リアクションありがとうございます💫ホントに素晴らしく美しい歌声とハーモニー、そこに添えられた切ないラップがステキなスパイスになっているR&Bバラードで、すごく好きです。この7人が繰り出してきたパフォーマンスはホントにいろんな表情を持っていて、一つのジャンルに括れないほど今までにない不思議な魅力を纏っていて、心奪われるアーティストです😁

[@UNCLEMOMO]

I see the calmness your talking about but also see the fearlessness in them too

[@user-bp3re3xb1l]

日本の外でXGをニコニコ楽しそうに聴いてくださっているのを見ると非常にこちらも嬉しい気持ちになりますthank you☺️ 言葉は完璧には分かりませんが、音楽で世界は繋がれるんだと思いました♪👬👭👫🌎✨

[@UNCLEMOMO]

Music will always connect the world

[@ductdang]

XG: no weak links period.

[@UNCLEMOMO]

You said it 👊🏾

[@skycub99]

The harmonies shined so strong in this version. I noticed things in this that I totally didn't hear in the MV. And the ending... Sheesh, that shoulda been in the studio version too I think.

[@UNCLEMOMO]

These girls are amazing not sure what song to react to next

[@24Lifetimez.]

@unclemomo They have a pre-debut series of videos labeled "Vox." Since you're all about the harmonies, you'll find that video series quite brill! Search for XG's "It's Live" performances with the live band. Also, watch "Left Right" but you really can't go wrong with any of their music videos.

[@Allen_Alphaz_XG]

XG❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@UNCLEMOMO]

hey Allen hope you're well bro

[@knkweb]

First Take Performance is Japanese production 0:01 here!! Given them the credit! 🇯🇵🇯🇵👏👏👏 and amazing voices from XG. Super gorgeous

[@UNCLEMOMO]

Thanks for the info!

[@RudeMekanicals]

One must be careful about saying that XG can't top themselves, because they have this tricky habit of topping themselves, like ALL. THE. TIME. Seriously, I am convinced we're nowhere near the ceiling with this group!

[@UNCLEMOMO]

Good point!

[@TipsyGipsy666]

Thank you Uncle 🥹🥰❤️

[@UNCLEMOMO]

You are very welcome

[@Ear_Candy_8650]

True talent! ❤

[@user-mr6dy1iw8h]

I love your reaction😍❤

[@UNCLEMOMO]

thank you so much please feel free to share my reaction

[@andrewmoniz8229]

Wow those voices and harmonies they sound amazing together. The rap style 🔥🔥 there like you know who we are lol wow. Another group created by Simon. They have come along way i have read from when they started.

[@UNCLEMOMO]

They will go very far

[@Phoenixl2d]

They are God tier at Dancing and rapping too….

[@UNCLEMOMO]

That’s only thing I haven’t seen….their dancing

[@Acebets70]

Harvey is FIRE

[@UNCLEMOMO]

I think she is going to be my favourite

[@caca-wd9fv]

the one you said we have to watch out for first is maya, and then you said the same thing abt chisa

[@UNCLEMOMO]

I’m sure I will say the same thing about the rest of the girls once I see more of them.

[@calvinmitchell1274]

XG💗

[@UNCLEMOMO]

They will be top in no time

[@texastandyrestorations6485]

Left to right on screen : Harvey, Hinata, Chisa, Jurin, Juria, Cocona, Maya

[@UNCLEMOMO]

Respect thank you so much

[@andrew097]

Being binging on this, and every time you come back to it. You see something else that's wonderful. 😊

[@UNCLEMOMO]

Very true Eighth time listening

[@takapjp-ll9kf]

Thanks for your reaction😀 In terms of perfection, I think XG`s ``HESONOO & X-GENE (Performance Video)‘‘‘ is of the highest level, and also good to know their performance level😃

[@UNCLEMOMO]

What should be my next reaction?

[@takapjp-ll9kf]

My recommendations are as follows😀 1.HESONOO & X-GENE (Performance Video) 2.LEFT RIGHT 3.GRL GVNG(Dance Practice version or ASL version) in addtion to the MV, as there is only a short version for the MV. Hope you will enjoy these songs😃

[@monstafloppa871]

Love your reaction, they have that effect on everyone. I just love their vocals and choreo, they are by far the best in the business right now. Go Alphaz!!!

[@UNCLEMOMO]

I think so and there’s has been loads of triers lol

[@demonr88]

At this point Kpop amd Jpop, we might aswell start saying Apop.

[@UNCLEMOMO]

lol i hear you

[@avvmendoza]

They just reminded me of Boys2Men.. geez.. female version ayt?

[@UNCLEMOMO]

I was going to say that but I think one more song will convince me

[@minasharonwhat]

please react to TWICE - I Can't stop me M/V. TWICE is a 9 Memeber Korean and Japanese Pop Group. MOMO is one of the members.

[@UNCLEMOMO]

Will I have an issues with copyright?

[@minasharonwhat]

@@UNCLEMOMO you can upload your reaction for their Korean and English Discography. But for their Japanese Discography, no. There's alot of Copyright issues for the most of their Japanese Songs. Don't trust Republic Record Japan. ahahah

[@andrew097]

You don't need a favorite, why choose?

[@UNCLEMOMO]

Very true but I guess that’s what we do

[@andrew097]

@UNCLEMOMO I was like that a few months ago. Then, every time I thought I was settled, another would do something in a video, sing a part, rap, bust a move, and I just gave up choosing
