Classical Musicians React: NCT 127 'Chain' vs 'Simon Says'

[@sosobann]

"It's very chaotic yet very organized" if that ain't the exact description of NCT

[@marta_rf_24]

And not only their songs xD

[@neurotica9417]

yesss

This is how I described it to a friend of mine. It's chaotic but with a purpose.

[@am-cb8vn]

So true 😂

[@hang9688]

Any bridge with Jaehyun-Doyoung-Haechan-Taeil (also Jungwoo) is always so good and satisfying. I really can't get over how the whole vocals line takes turn to sing like that!

Like the moment i heard the chant i started screaming like "NCT 127 IS BACK!THIS IS THE NCT I KNOW" djicd. I think this is my second or third fave title track from NCT 127 first is Limitless then Superhuman and Simon Says top 2

I love the reaction! Could I just point out though, that the haka isn't just used for rugby! It's a form of respect and celebration and the one feautured at the beginning is an iwi's traditional haka, and it was taken from a wedding video! Props to Umu for even pointing it out, but I'd like for people to know it's not just all about intimidation!! The point about the goodwill of the gathering is spot on though! (we have a specific haka for our school for example that we perform for visitors and when people leave us!)

[@annarichards1270]

Tbh I think some of hyuck’s draw is in that he doesn’t always powerhouse his vocals-it especially stands out among the other nct vocalists that he sings with a softer tone. When they commented on his falsetto, that’s where I was rlly happy! My fave hyuck high note that also showcases his sweeter voice is in the song ‘Good Time’ I think? From Dream.

[@lolaloli9362]

"It's very chaotic yet very organized" - This is basically the very accurate definition of NCT127's songs are.. People said their songs are weird but nctzens somehow love the weirdness in their song.. Simon Says is one of my most fav song from a boy group last year..
