Please react to GOT new song. Plese

[@mattveslino252]

when catherine said "this is camp," i gasped like that is actually such a SPOT ON description for red velvet's sound.

[@thezircadia]

Right? Like - ok she gets it!

[@riffgroove]

I heard one fan describe Red Velvet's sound as "Sophisticated Chaos." I like that.

[@jazzjacob5639]

I agree

[@stacyl4370]

Yes! They are camp indeed!

[@ghulaa]

girl no you didn't gasp

[@flyingcucumber9325]

I dont know why this one was so underrated. It's such a good song esp. that pre chorus just WOW!

[@myakun7462]

Just unique person who loves kind of music like this, not for everyone.

[@dwi9619]

People just don't get it 😔 birthday is for some people who understand it not for everyone 😃

​@@okiwiranada2949 yes, it's just about different music taste.

[@jockstrapper]

The layers of vocals they did for this is mindboggling.

[@youcandoit27]

They always sound like princesses,which is why i love their music

[@jeanclaronino90]

Birthday is really chaotic and quirky. It is true that this didn't reach the level of their old red songs (that's why not a lot of people liked it at first) but yep it is still fun to listen to. And it's a really nice alarm song hahaha Please please listen to the songs in the album! THE B-SIDES WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. I SWEAR

[@straykiss_woo]

The first listen was all it took for me to like but the b-sides are SO GOOD

[@songjoowan]

I'm hooked from the first listen with Birthday. But yeah, their past track is just SO good that's why this song still felt like it didn't reach that level yet

[@bayernbini1282]

This song is the most RV's song I've heard in a while. Absolutely in love with it. However, it's no wonder such songs aren't appreciated by the majority of people who enjoy simple melodies which are usually the ones that put me to sleep due to their predictability. No wonder one of their most popular internationally is Bad Boy which is a really plain instrumental and boring to me with nothing unique - just a song I'd listen on the radio. But Birthday has everything. People just love to sh*t on old groups, especially if from SM. They used to play the card of how much they love RV so they don't show they're SM haters in disguise so was obvious this would happen with this cb. They just hate SM.

[@TheJustbudi]

BYE BYE and ZOOM are SO GREAT

[@juansuarez0126]

For it definitely reach the level of the other Red songs.

[@swarnika4644]

WENDY vocal appreciation yess!! Her range and skills have always been insane. Those riffs and harmonies she does never fail to shock me

[@MDLGamingX]

Birthday sounds like a mix of modern and classic Tom and Jerry soundtrack, and that's why I love it (but I love FMR more. Either way, all Red Velvet songs are masterpieces). Can't wait for their new album which will come this year, hopefully summer as they are summer queens.

[@Louise-wk5yf]

The uncanny creatures should be permanent in RV MVs now.

[@cindynguyen5661]

They should also bring back Rookie monster while they’re at it

[@nayyate2800]

Birthday is such a good song,the unique arrangement & heavy chorus drop itself is already risky but more than that,this was a very challenging mission for redvelvet since the song is very hard to pull off perfectly along with multiple layers(realizing from their recording behind).Birthday may be one of their most underappreciated title but i would always be thankful for picking this over any other easy listening catchy song for title track.redvelvet always know their strongest point and show what they can do rather than focusing on mainstream trendy music.people like me who deeply want to explore the details of the song will always appreciate their efforts. really thank you for this reaction.

[@FlavioNoNavio]

Red Velvet is Kpop excellence. Musically all of their comebacks are ELITE.

[@youcandoit27]

Their songs are one of my favorites for sure,esp bsides

[@mfffch3531]

FINALLY 😭 thanks alot for reacting to red velvet. you guys are amazing 🫶🏻 RV never dissapointing us ❤ they always comes up with something great 🥰

[@Imyourcherryybomb]

I also wanted to hear more of the rhapsody of blue like they did with the bach piece in FMR. I feel like that would have been so awesome but I still like the song the way it is now.

[@brynmarie9655]

I think fun Patreon content would be to have the vocalists and producers react to Red Velvet’s recording behinds! I LOVE watching them it’s so fascinating

[@seulgibecause3737]

Birthday is such a fun, quirky, sophisticated, & beautiful song to me. It gives me mixed feeling in a good way. I love Birthday so much, I feel like everyday is my Birthday.

[@yaya_papaya00]

I love Umu's artistic vision for the song at 10:21, i love the song already but omg that would've been iconic

[@Louise-wk5yf]

Red Velvet's 2022 discography: 🙌🤯✨

[@potatetomato]

This song was so wild i kinda understand the mixed feelings in some fans and the reactors here but slay red velvet. They always come out with different sounds it's.... WILD LOL and they do so well at it

[@jane9882]

I understand what they are trying to say but I love this song so much hahahaha I really enjoy listening to it.

[@Christine-gu8zt]

In conclusion, Red Velvet’s vocals saved the song😭 I love how in other Red Velvet videos they talk more about the production and music stuffs (idk the term) but in this vid, they’re reacting to the members’ vocals, even ranges and capability 😭 Tbh, the first time I heard Birthday I felt like it’s 2 different songs bc the production and their vocals are giving different vibes😭 still listening to it now tho

[@letyv9071]

The editing on this reaction video>>> it makes this a whole new experience watching the MV together. The simultaneous comments, fading into nothing, and everything else! I love it so much🤣

[@GuruPuffola]

I really liked umu's version of the Birthday outro! I just wish they used more bits from Rhapsody In Blue :C

[@danimillz7927]

you can count on Red Velvet for those beautiful harmonies! 😁🤩

[@artemisdaisy06]

thank you for always appreciating Red Velvet music 🥺💘

[@attaboy631]

My favorite part is the 2nd verse. The beat, the vocals, the melody, SO GOOD. anyone's with me?

[@chocozibz]

i LOVEEE feel my rhythm but surprisingly I find myself replaying birthday wayyy more on a daily basis. such an underrated song and EP!!

[@jusirico]

it's so awesome to see the different opinions from people who both like it or not ;^; it's so refreshing too, to listen to criticism and diverging opinions in a respectiful, engaging, constructive (everyone is so smart!!! hehehe) and fun way. sometimes i feel like there are some reactions out there that force so hard to love everything about... EVERYTHING that is released and i'm just "ughhh you're allowed to dislike things or to say you don't like a certain part or you don't vibe with it!". so it's just super nice to hear everyone expressing their ideas. loved the reaction! when i first listened to birthday it also felt so full and overwhelming to me, but i ended up enjoying it so much after a few listens! thanks for the reaction vid and great job editing, y'all (especially umu haha)

[@jusirico]

ALSO I'M SO EXCITED FOR FIGHTING NEXT

[@daradara7493]

the editor for this vid needs praise bcuz that nord vpn edits? the reactions? highlighted everyone's reaction perfectly 👌

[@helmaliafannyeriska1193]

the edit !! I love your editor so much guys 😂🫶🏻

[@Alexa-cr1vy]

Love the editing in this one haha nice work! We definitely get the blues/R&B vibe with BYEBYE on the b-sides.

[@yirenverse]

birthday has one of my favourite pre-choruses ever.

[@yardsnart4098]

The part where you edit the girls in the studios over the people talking about the belting vocals is so cool I love seeing all the new ideas you always come up with for editing.

[@rohanpatel767]

the wendy edit on the sponsor video lmfao

[@angellaguinday2584]

How can you skip the ad/sponsor video if the edit is that good 😂

[@rocacore]

I'm sure in previous recations have happened but !!! The way lots of the reactors shared the same reactions was sooo funny 😭😭‼️

[@nagihiro1382]

Red velvet will never ever disappoint

[@yjsj7311]

it is messy ngl my first listen was like NO. but as it goes it gets better, maybe bc them vocals are the ones making the song bearable to listen. with how rv music grows into different formula each releases, it def shows how it’s always the vocals that carries it. maybe that’s also why SM made rv do the most complicated concept in SM bc no one can make all these experimental songs bearable to listen. no wonder they lasted 7yrs in the top despite such hardship of carrying the experimental ground in kpop.

[@mandine100]

Yet again I see why I'm such a huge fan of this channel. I love how there is technical information in your reviews, I love how there is constructive criticism, there is a part of where you guys actually presented how the song could be improved. It isn't just one long fan video on how much you love the artist. My very selfish desire is to see you guys produce or collaborate with a group to create a k-pop song!

[@ezradacoliat2586]

Can i just say, the editing for the NordVPN ad is so good. Props to the editor for this video, so fun!

[@bdzmru8489]

I was worried this song didn’t get a reaction but now that I see the timing it all makes sense

[@Gigizzz_]

Finally Birthday reaction 😭😭 after FMR I really wanted them to react to classical sampling song again

[@iamaude]

Unlike many people I liked Birthday at first listen! It reminded me of older songs like ICC 🥲 I love the Velvet side but I missed this Red quirkiness and messiness

[@togepiwan3528]

Birthday and the whole mini is such a bop album! no skip

[@driftersdestiny9296]

im late but i rly love the addition to umu to the reaction team (as in we can see her reacting tgt with the others, as opposed to being behind camera)

[@bruno6964]

Great song from awesome Red Velvet then great reaction with awesome edit especially ad section 🤣

[@thezircadia]

I think Owen just needs to listen to it a couple more times - it is a lot to separate out at once... but that's the kind of thing that when you listen to it several times it just stays interesting. Unless you just hate the sounds themselves hahaha What is funny is I also realllly loved the recreations of the supposedly "bad" harmonic choices... .I was like wow, that sounds so good (especially Leon - sorry to Leon, I'm sure your mind things I'm a fool but it sounded great hahahaha). It's soooo funny hearing the opinions like this is too clashing, and then this isn't as clashing as other things I like more. hhahahaha But Red Velvet will never be boring, they will never have a unified response - because they keep taking risks and making things interesting. OMG FIGHTING NEXT, so happy.

[@saritamaeacebuche616]

I always look forward to this channel when it comes to Red Velvet❤️ Love it always.

[@mbae123]

The edits on the adwork curated to the reaction 🤣😫 thank you rttk editor

at first i didn't like birthday but they when i listened to it again i loved it a lot and i always notice the sample and enjoy it a lot

[@lserenity6768]

just started to think this song isn’t good, now I like it more and more!😂

[@바람들이모래요정]

Finally😭 I’ve waited for it so long

[@bakapotatoes]

SAMEE OMGG

[@nvis_9001]

The only "sponsor ads" that i watched from the start until the end without skip Good job on editing

[@TheViciousVendetta]

"The chorus there was like so much happening but also nothing at all." is exactly how I felt about Birthday 😢 there was so much there but nothing really stuck with em

[@ariffajar8381]

I feel like SM just want to pleased the musicians for every group's title track... and we as the fans always got mocked by other artist's fans for being a fan of artist that only released 'weird' musics and not fit for tiktok 😂

[@Aeiouxz17]

HELP 😂

[@felllll___2481]

ahhh finally birthday reaction !! Rv songs need to listen more than once bc their song is ✨unique✨. I hope u guys check out their bside "Bye Bye" its sooooo goood

[@NarutoUzumaki-xd4db]

Now check bye bye from the album. That's actually more liked by public and has crossed 10million streams on Spotify. Fastest red velvet b-side song to do that

[@floricadiesta2575]

No other idols can beat the roller coaster music of red velvet

[@vanada116]

Are you not gonna react to the whole Birthday album? It's a masterpiece! ..But knowing how tight your schedules are i understand if you won't do it.. thanks for the reaction anyway guys!

[@suziecabaylo4405]

Finally!!! Have you guys heard of bye bye? Can you pls also react on it and maybe zoom also? Or on a ride as well? 😅 love your reactions as always ❤

[@hikaru7712]

THIS CHAOTIC EDITING OMG I LOVE ITTTTTTT

[@bestfriendluvie]

[@ddeulgikang3001]

Thank you for the reaction!! I hope you also listen to the album most especially bye bye.

[@OfficialJML]

I'm so happy every time you react to RV. Kudos! ❤❤❤

[@zinja0830]

I like that there was mention of the members' different timbres and how they complement each other. Lately I've been listening to the artist FIFTY FIFTY and have been loving the vocals in their music. Highly recommend checking them out if you haven't yet!

[@paulineadrianebeja8816]

it would be nice if you did the series where they listen to two songs & choose one hihihi birthday vs byebye

[@enterthenameyo]

The editing on this video is so good??? WE LOVE IT

[@jazz4393]

FINALLLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS BESTIES!

[@allons_y1001]

I had to listen to "Birthday" exactly two times before I had it stuck in my head for a few weeks. It's so quirky yet catchy.... my favorite thing though is in the mv, Wendy playing Rock, Paper, Scissors with Edward Scissor Hands is still so freakin' funny to me!!! 😂 Any chance of Purple Kiss "Sweet Juice" being on the schedule for a future reaction??? 😃😃😃😬😬😬 Maybe? Someday?

[@gp1925]

I loved the song from the moment it started and it had me hooked. I love when pieces like this get mixed and incorporated into pop

[@wandasdk]

omg i didnt skip the ad because its so funnnnnn, the one with "link in description below" with bad boy mv is a genius moveeeee, gooo umuu

[@ot7biasedmashups]

I personally have to say that I like how creative Birthday is and it itches the right part of my brain but it never made it to my go to playlist🤔 I really don't know why tho and I'm kinda sad about it. On a side note tho, I miss Velvet comebacks ngl

[@riffgroove]

I heard someone describe Red Velvet's sound as "Sophisticated Chaos." Very apt.

[@NerdyQueen1234]

I love this song so much I know lots of people didn't but it really is different and how they constructed the vocals is so good.

[@alexb4310]

Yess this is my favourite song these days

[@aeuribia]

finally red velvet!!!!! i miss u guyssssss

Oh finally! After 2 decade waiting, this video is finally come up here. Thanks guys! Anyway, beside this title song, have you heard “On a Ride”? Of course Mumu already listen to that one. Idk but I like that one better.

Birthday is a highly underrated song by Red Velvet. However, it’s one of my fav songs in Kpop 🙂

[@litlarvrevelt2666]

Dang, the top-notch editing is *chef kiss*

[@lipstickandlibraries]

lmao the editing in this is so fun!! I appreciated jay's history of rhapsody in blue and I also wish red velvet incorporated more r&b rather than trap pop for this one. The chorus is So Much hahaha. Feel My Rhythm is my fav with sampled songs.

[@mackenziew7619]

I love watching your videos, especially for songs from artists such as red velvet. As a classical music fan I do wish they had used more parts from the sample but I still love the song, I love the chaos of it all and that’s basically red velvet cause you never know what you’re gonna get
