1st time reaction here!! And as crazy as it sounds, I never heard the pop version of Doja Cat's "Say So" prior to watching this video either (I know! But I seriously do not listen to pop!) I'm a metal vocalist and voice coach and I was so curious to see what a pop star would do to create a heavier version of their song. It was great to see Doja Cat do this on the MTV EMAs and I was really pleasantly surprised by this one! Give it a chance - seriously!

Loved this; I love Doja and also metal (neoclassical, dare I mention numetal), prog rock, alt rock, hardcore etc but had no idea she even did this. She's extremely quirky,, allher live performances are theatrical as heck, she's an amazing dancer and on her lives she does the most random shit, impromptu performances, fucks around with her fans. She was always a more alternative girl for a rapper. Now please react to this metal cover of WAP, it is better than I could have ever imagined. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXmugnZjoJibjrc

[@valeriemerids4114]

Hi. I loved your video. My new guilty pleasure has recently been people reacting to this killer moment Doja and this band had. My favorite part being 2:07. Anyway. I know the whole band and their Instagram tags. Please let me know if you want me to send them to you on Instagram. But aside from the girl, I don’t think the 3 guys do anything metal.

[@yep4924]

@@bwestacado9643 I will paste my reply from another one of your nasty comments under this one too. Stop gatekeeping metal. We need to help the genre spread, because we need to let the mainstream know how good of a genre it is and if you are discouraging the people who spread the genre from engaging in it, you are just contributing to the fall of the genre because if there is nobody there to carry on its legacy, it will slowly die out in future generations. Everyone from every generation and music genre deserve to participate in metal and if you like it just say you are praying for the downfall of the genre and leave the comment section which is been filled with positive and doesn’t need Debby downers like you. Gatekeep something else 🤘 I will also add on if Poppy, a former pop artist, didn’t transform into a metal artist and take a deep interest in metal, there wouldn’t be a lot of poppy fans like me broadening our metal taste and listening to metal artists and supporting this genre.

[@querayne6788]

Doja tbh is one of the most versatile artists out. In the span of the quarantine she’s taken this song to Jazz, Broadway, Metal and it’s all dope.

[@elliem1235]

I've been watching Doja Cat for a while now. Her music videos and voice are getting noticeably better as each song/video is released. I think she writes her own songs which I find very witty and fun. I'm impressed with her ability to reinvent her self through her music and videos and grow. Some artists have amazing voices but their music and videos are so predictable. They never step outside their box. Can't wait to see what she does in the future!

[@bobbimanchester8051]

i feel she killed it!!!! in an awesome way :)

[@shooglechic]

[@punkyducky]

[@terminally_zach]

the performance gives me major evanescence and old paramore vibes

[@MrNalettinho]

I love it, I love when Miley Cyrus do covers of classic rock/metal bands, I loved this version of Say So, the band really killed it. And I can totally relate to what you've said. Im now in my 30's, but I got into rock and heavy metal by listening to SUM41, which despite being a pop punk band, had a kickass guitar player (dave brownsound baksh) and it actually got me into other more mainstream bands, like Foo Fighters and I plunged into the rabbit hole and started listening to the stuff my dad listened before, from CCR to Iron Maiden, and then I got sucked farther and farther and now I listen to everything, from old classic rock to death metal :D

[@deimoslyric]

I was very curious to see what a fan of metal would think of the song, loved your video!

[@millennial_fairy]

Doja turned an already -amazing Song into an even better one! Oh and I consider myself to be an extremely Eclectic metalhead and alternative person with various music case that spans all over the map!

[@empressh6960]

I knew who Doja Cat is and she kills her songs, music videos, etc. Especially her Live Performances!!! For example, here at the EMAs, VMA’s, BBMAs, etc. etc.!! People have slept on her, at 1st. That included me. I’m a Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, Jazz, Country, old school, new school, Even EDM. Basically, most music. But Doja is extremely slept on talented. She hasn’t disappoint me as a real artist yet. She’s the FULL PACKAGE 💜❤️♥️❤️💜 her!!!!!!

Good review! Somewhat to happy for me, yet interesting!

[@priscillaso5965]

Had not seen her performance before this review but I am pleased, deff a banger (: You could maybe checkout Ashnikkos “cry” she did a metal version (of her song ft. grimes) joined by a band and it’s great even though she had not vocally trained prior to that. Love your videos 🤍

i felt a Flyleaf/ Hey Monday vibe. But this is one of my favorite versions she has done. I love the original and the other live performance but this version gets me more excited. Doja displayed "rock/emo sterotypical wardrobe" in her song Bottom Bitch, But its not alternative or rock in MY standards.

[@malcolmrush]

Nice reaction. Did you ever react to the Japanese group named Band-maid or Lovebites? Also have you ever react to the Japanese band name Scandal? If not you should check this group out. The two groups above are more hard rock/metal. Scandal is more pop/punk rock with all four members sing and play their instruments. I can give you some suggestions and links for Scandal songs. Band-maid just dropped 4 music video in the last 6 weeks. I hope you do a react video for all three groups.

Same. I learned to sing more classically as a teenager and still gravitate to singing that style, but prefer listening to metal music (while also listening to a bit of everything). Have you heard of Gangstagrass? Bluegrass+gangsta rap might be up your alley.

I really would have wanted her to have one part with a male screamer. In her verse “ let me check my chest, my breath right quick, he ain’t even seen it in in a dress like this’

It’s so cool seeing Doja perform in this genre being both a fan of her and also metal. You can tell she has an interest in rock/metal especially in her recent performances she has put guitarists having guitar breaks with amazing riffs during her shows, so I would love to see do some pop-rap/metal in the future!

I don’t think I’ve heard of this group before. Being a metalhead I certainly prefer pop stars converting to metal or rock than the other way around... I know of some top 100 pop songs just because I’ve heard them on the radio at work or around some family, and I’ve found metal versions that I really like. For example Royals covered by Otep. It is interesting how some of these pop artists that have gone metal don’t sound too far removed from some 70s rock haha. Although they could be more creative with their lyrics. Alice Cooper put some serious thought into his lyrics.

I freaking LOVE doja cat singing the same song at every award show only she does a different style each time and they all sound fucking AMAZING.

[@chasestudio2736]

Me: Man, Doja Cat isn’t my style. Doja Cat: *Does Broadway* *Does Metal* *Does everything* Me: Ouch, I’m in love

[@antoniojunior129]

My ears are goint to melt because I can't stop listening to it, she IS good, she is versatile and creative. Loved this song a lot, way more than the original version. Well...I woudn't commplain if she did an entire album in this style. Like Dark Pink or something.

[@brendan5470]

Yea, I'm pretty stoked about this. I really hope to see more pop artists teaming up with Metal or Hardcore bands. Ashnikko recently did Metal cover with Employed to Serve and she does harsh vocals the whole time. I can't wait to see more collabs like this.

[@shinaomisanya5367]

She ended that belt on the same note the solo started! This women IS A STAR!

[@AGrrrlsTwoSoundCents]

Please, please, PLEASE react to "SAWAYAMA" by Rina Sawayama. She blended pop and metal so seamlessly on that album and it was magic! You would love it

[@adoboFosho]

Doja heard this song in Japanese so she had to outdo that cover

[@jnhforlife5326]

This performance gave me like evanescence/fly leaf/ avenged sevenfold vibes doja and the band did great

[@Ismisejoey]

I love how Doja writes her lyrics, very similar to nicki in a sense there references to past music & a whole lot of metaphors, but the fact she can genre skip ???? MINDBLOWING. I’m happy we have an artist back on the scene who cares to make an impact with their music

[@princebloodgrave8097]

I wish that this version was available on iTunes.

[@rabiatorthegreat6163]

Nice, reminds me a bit of Band-Maid. Band-Maid have a similar pop/metal mix, mostly happy and upbeat. A bit heavier than Doja Cat, but similar enough that people who like this one should have a listen to Band-Maid too.

i love pop going metal when is well done. and this performance was good, i like it a lot. (i love pop music as much as metal bands harsh and clean)
