[@trishllanzas8331]

I guess for the western ear, it's so unusual to perform at this caliber without autotune😊. In the Philippines it's shameful to lipsync or use tuning. SB19 IS THE GOLD STANDARD of PPop aka PHILIPPINES pop. They create equalized rounded sound with only their voices. Adlibs on point, harmonies unmatched! 5 rappers, 5 singers, 5 dancers, 5 producers. They are the whole package.🇵🇭🌟❤️

[@vivianmariesimon6194]

Well said!

[@susanadomo8013]

Absolutely true 👍 That's why we call it Ppop because of its uniqueness from other foreign pop songs ❤️

[@RonnelCordova-e9i]

This! The boys are talented af and they still get hate. What more if they can't sing live right?

[@LifeFullPrints]

Yeah. I agree with you!

[@angelaa1396]

Thank you for not calling them K-POP. Please refer to them as PPOP, which is VERY different from KPOP. PPOP’s standards are unique and different. For instance, you will never hear SB19 lip sync as doing so is frowned upon in the Philippines and plus it’s their goal to always improve and re-invent their style. We’ve heard these men sing live in concerts and shows, and this is exactly how they sound, it’s unbelievable. Thank you for being open to getting to know PPOP. It is different, and that’s the way we like it!

The ERA of artists using AUTO TUNE and LIP SYNC as a "STANDARD " on LIVE performances during our generation was long gone ! SB 19 our PPop Kings - performance was a breath of fresh air in the music scene dominated by Auto- Tune and Lip Sync .Their raw vocals and authentic sound showcased their talent and creativity as an artist! and that is what we greatly enjoy all the concerts we attended . That is the NEW standard now! No auto correct ! No LIP SYNC ! Not deceiving their audience - you enjoy the authenticity of their craft . This is Filipino music! Thats PPop !

[@gnaza]

This is The First Take, a popular Japanese YT show where artists are invited (strictly by invitation only) to perform their songs with new arrangements special for TFT. No auto tunes, mixings, just raw vocals all in one take. So if the artist flubs, that’s it. No do overs. TFT is like the cool, exclusive club where everybody wants to get in but only the best gets invited. So yes, this is a big deal for SB19 being the first and only Ppop boy band to perform here.

I think you have to first read about the concept of THE FIRST TAKE. It's a challenge. Artists can only do one take of a song, they have to sing live without any backing track - just their raw voices. And they publish the output of the one and only take on their youtube channel without any further editing or mixing, even if there were parts that did not go well. It's the branding of the channel.

Whenever SB19 perform, we can't help but mutter to ourselves, "Auto-Tune who?" haha! Loud backtracks and lip synching are recipes for the artists' careers' downfall.

[@pixiebeel2348]

Autotune is a NO GO for artists in the Philippines. It's severly frowned upon and you'll get BASHED if the Filos catch you using autotune or even lipsyncing. Lipsyncing is a big NO too. Live vocals are a big thing here. Autotune is maybe, only accepted as a stylistic choice to compliment a track normally tracks leaning towards hiphop or rap. Honestly, artists here don't need the autotune, if you need it and you can't sing live you won't survive in the music indsutry in the Philippines.

[@aljohn07]

Maybe when you were in a boyband before, autotune and lip syncing were the standard and that’s what you did, that’s fine. However, in the Philippines, it is a big embarrassment if you lip sync or use autotune and you consider yourself a singer. I know sometimes it’s hard to believe that some singers sound so much like the record or way better and makes you think that they are lip syncing or using autotune. However, if you use your ears properly, you can really tell if the vocals are real or manufactured. Even if you’re not a singer, it is easy to tell by listening and observing the way singers open their mouth while singing. 😊

[@misschelle23]

11:43 I want to point out Nathan that here in the Philippines, an artist using autotune is very much frowned upon and mocked. That might be the standard on the west, but here if you are singer, you are expected to sing and sound, if not identical to the recorded track, should be better live. I mean you can't be called a singer if you can't sing live right? Pop filters aren't common anymore since we're used to original mics (karaoke eyyy). Wish Bus' mic doesn't have pop filters because it's meant for a radio station with a lot of talking. But, I get that you're skeptical with pop singers using autotune because you're more exposed to famous artists on the west who can't sing live as good as their track. Unfortunately, there are many artists who can sing sing live but those mediocre songs/artists are shoved on our faces by the industry.

[@chynnasoo6728]

I really appreciate how u disect and react to songs coz you really know what you are talking about. Well with Sb19 there is really no shortage of live performances. Filipinos are not fond of lipsyncs coz u cannot do that in karaoke bar or machine…ahaha. Iipsinging is also frowned upon in our country. So i kid u not, these guys are a genuine article.

[@etaw4506]

send this guy fan cams of their concerts

[@K-tin]

They’re the pioneers of P-pop, Filipino pop. 🙂 Thanks for the rv!

[@crxdelsolsir]

Thank you for your reactions. To dispel any doubts try watching their performance at the Fusion Concert Here is the definitive performance where due to technical issues ALL backing tracks stopped and they sang unplanned acapella. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZaXeGWrrN9-j7s It occurred to this exact same song "Gento" so you can make a direct comparison. This really reveals the mic to backing track balance, showcased their real vocals with ZERO backing and reveals how much pickup their mics was set to.

hi nate! thanks for reacting. appreciate your honest reaction. one thing you should also know about is our culture. Karaoke is a staple recreactional activity in every household. we love to sing. amatuer singing contests are everywhere. it is unusual for singers to sing with autone or lipsync. what you hear in the actual track is the same vocal range during live or even better. our singers are the exact definition of those who ate CD's for breakfast ;) so i understand if there's a doubt in you when you first heard them sing live in wishbus. which by the way, is live live. hope you'll check out more of SB19 songs and performances cos I guarantee you, you're going to be in for a musical feast :) btw, here in my heart is still one of my OG fave song. still active in my playlist :D

Thank you for your hard work and for this new reaction video! :) You got to listen to their other First Take performance (❁´◡`❁) 'MAPA'. It's much slower in tempo and has an entire different vibe/energy. You'll be able to hear their vocal prowess, especially Pablo's and Stell's. There's another one from the Wish Bus, 'ILAW'.

[@ichigo-いちご]

Thank you Nathan ❤ please keep digging SB19 songs. Love your commentary and your voice is soothing to hear. I think I can listen all day 😂

[@Skip-Kilat]

just because they can’t do it in the west or america doesn’t mean others cannot do it. smh

[@marit4sj214]

Pablo asked us to be kind. As fans, we, too represent them. Everything A’tin do and say will eventually reflect back to them. Our Mahalima have been nothing but pure class at handling all the negativity. We should have learned to be the same.

[@sitihanisah4697]

the reason i love SB19 voices is bcuz they hv their own vocal range to be heard in different level from the lowest till the highest tone members.. their differences made the song sounds rich..

[@laio0808]

Also Pablo writes their songs, lyrics, composition & arrangements, like who will sing on this part etc. ofcourse the other members also gave inputs. Justin is the creative director for most of their mvs, they do their own adlibs that even surprises Pablo 😂. They even continuously performs even if the audio lights went off. They can perform even if they were only given 3 mics, And for me what's the best about them is they do keep their feet on ground.❤

[@tessgarcia1838]

just admit it sir! they are amazing and spectacular.. no lipsync no autotune..

[@julieannelungkay2848]

I am so earlyyyyy!!!! I know you will love this!!!! Now where is Stell's All By Myself reaction? Lol love you Nathan here since your BTS Reaction but yeah I am a Filipina so I love SB19! ❤

[@sinkanddrownanddie]

May mic din ung all by myself ni Stell, so pagdududahan nanaman nya yan hahahahaa

[@Eyeleaf]

GidkidDad is a US producer too but he can easily tell that SB19 sings live. Also i hope this reactor has an idea First Take literally just give artists only one take to perform a song (perhaps he does). Wishbus is live and can be heard outside the bus when an artist sings inside. So...

[@susanursua19]

Btw, Justin really sings like that, not over pronouncing. I observed that too the first time I’ve watched them. But it’s a natural tone for Justin.

[@MaHALKO_SILANGLIMA]

Naiinis nga ako.... Pero cge pa palampasin ko lng kapss....

[@razkhay7514]

PPOP KINGS!!! ON July 22, 2023 I saw them live and up close in concert at Arlington, TX. Everyone was amazing and each had a solo stage that was as unique as each of them. ❤TAKE ME BACK TO A YEAR AGO!!!

[@silverdrew6104]

Yes! They came back to The First Take with a ballad song called Mapa. Please also react to that❤

[@genlopez4470]

Actually, they're really Legend! They are also the composer of their song. 😍👏 Pablo is the LEADER of the Group and also the WRITER of their SONGS. He's really GENIUS! 😍👏

[@cyen923]

Someone please send him and recommend to him that ACAPELLA SB19 Compilation pleaseeeeee

[@trace_sg49]

Ladies and gents you're witnessing the birth of an A'TIN. Hahahaha. Amazed yet doubtful if the Boys are actually singing live, classic reaction of casuals after seeing SB19 live performances for the first time. Can't blame you, Sir. That's how amazing the boys are. Thank you for this RV. Looking forward for more. Lezzzgow!

[@Sygmafied]

Really appreciate that you're honest with your reactions. These guys slay ballads, too. They recently performed MAPA on The First Take.

[@amelitaconche5944]

Thank you for the review.SB19 is PPop King!!

[@apolz_0425-sw2ui]

All I can say is ... These boys can sing! And they are singing live!

[@ramonmendoza3440]

Thanks Nathan for giving them a chance and changing your view on Gento ❤❤❤
