Great album! CHEN EXO 엑소 - 'Light of my Life' MV and POLARIS album review

[@sousourigi5313]

One of the strongest and best voices in K-Pop. His vocal techniques are great

[@スカーレット-l6o]

チェンの日本語の発音はとても素晴らしく、感嘆します。 EXOは日本語のアルバムを出しています。 もちろん、そのアルバムでの日本語もビックリするくらい素晴らしいです。 隠れた名曲たちです。

Father of VOCAL FACTOR CHEN = Can Hit Every Note

[@rapiwang]

I have been EXO-L for 11 years but I feel surprised every time this man drops a new song 🤣 I love Polaris soooo much this album feels like magical to me hahaha. Thank you for the reaction! 🤍

[@BlancaMarquez-wo8mo]

My King Vocal CHEN 😊❤

[@M.zm___]

Chen 1st album is my no 1 ultimate album by Chen so far "April and flower"

[@syelaman2]

46:06 “Very powerful, not in terms of energy but in terms of emotion “ so true! Chen always gets me in the feels!

[@fefa1414]

Thank you so much, Pierre. Loved this reaction. Chen is my bias in Exo and this is, as I said before, his best album for me. Just because he shows that he can sing every music genre with his magical voice. So underrated this album and this is so sad. You are the first youtube reactor who listens to my recomendation. Thanks a lot. I will always be here for Exo babies!!!! Oh, forget to say that my favorite song in this mini album is Mirage of flower.

[@sukrannurtek796]

EXACTLY i feel like people didnt talk that much about this album like THIS IS MASTERPIECE T.T

[@ferpor27]

Yes, I completely agree. POLARIS is magnificent! Maybe because it was in Japanese, it wasn't as successful as it should have been. Pierre's reaction matched all my feelings when I listen to the album! Thanks for that!

[@Italian67foreverexofan]

So true❤Pierre is amazing

[@1004Hind_0]

TRUUEEE!! This album is sooo good!! All the songs are really rich and different.

thank you, glad you liked it :)

Mr. Pierre, as Arij said : "There is Chen and there is K-Pop and Chen is higher than K-Pop "

[@nadamellouk8007]

I agree 💯

[@sousourigi5313]

😂😂😂🎉😂Oh, you forgot that he is the literal meaning of vocal

[@nourhouda3694]

@@sousourigi5313 How can I forget this? Chen is the king of vocal And no one surpasses him " As you said, Chen is above K-Pop"

[@lydiamanis7405]

I second this

[@sukrannurtek796]

This album is my favorite. As years of being a Chen fan we waited for rock chen like years...when i first heard break out and free world oh god i was going crazy. Chen finally heard us and give these masterpieces and since it is japanese i can sing along with him ( it is easier for me to pronounce japanese ) Oh btw i recommend suho's grey suit album.

[@ChanyeolsHaneul]

Chen Japanese album is very different to his other 3 albums. My favourite is still his first one "April and a flower" but "Last scene" and "Dear my dear" are amazing too.😊

[@Tutih4rtati_20]

Yaah, my favourit too *april and flower" 😍😍😍

[@ArniPebruarti]

Me too, for me "April and Flower" is Chen's best album, but of course I love all of Chen's albums too,

[@nikki.exosnoona]

same!! 😭😭 April and a flower will always be my favorite & 2nd place it's a tie between Last Scene and Polaris.

[@Janaina.07]

Thank you very much for the video. Polaris is Chen's fourth album and his first in Japanese, for me Polaris is the realization of seeing Chen with a diverse, fun and incredibly good album. I love your videos, and I look forward to more 😊

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

Thank you too!

[@nikki.exosnoona]

@47:30 pierre:"i would love to hear a screaming, emotional guitar solo" chen: i got you. 😂 Chen really opted to have variety of music genres on this album since he felt that his discography so far is a little limited. i really enjoyed & applaud his efforts to improve & he really listens to his fans suggestions as well. please check out his new soundtrack called The Way to Love Myself. thanks for reacting to Chen!

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

hahaha yes

[@mairenerampas2241]

Thank you for this.. finally a reaction to my Ultimate bias solo album this album is beyond good so beautiful and really showcases how good of a singer CHEN is..and also I love your detailed reactions as always that's why your my fave reactors❤

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

My pleasure!!

[@anjalim2555]

You should definitely check Chen's Japan Tour 2023 live album... You'll get the guitar solo you want in Mirage of flowers and its so much more amazing in the live album

[@Andkwllwodjdhebhdjsk]

FINALLY my bias CHENNNN thank u:)

[@jollychowdhury1508]

listenning to chen's album is really a creative treat !!! chen's vocal is very seasoned, !!! this is his japanese debut album. i hope you check his 3 korean albums too

[@YAYA-s8i]

I respect Chen for his talent, ability to work and standing up to adversity.❤ He is an amazing member of my favorite band EХO. ❤Тhank you💙

[@omniyanasre740]

My love chen this is my faaaaavorite album by him along side with April and flower of courses I love the rest albums but this album I can't, I listen to it eeevery single day he showcased his versatility as an excellent vocalist I hope his next album will be versatile as this album

[@AminaPan]

Чен - лучший вокалист K-pop 🔥

[@lina5173]

This album is a masterpiece and chen is such a great vocalist🔥Thank you for this reaction

[@Alex-fz2sd]

Thanks for your reaction Pierre! ❤ Our Jongdae is very talented and puts a lot of effort into his music as a solo artist. Last year he had his tour in Japan after putting out this album and all of his performances were with a live band, so it was amazing! I would like more people to be able to enjoy the talent and good music of our boys. 🙌 Bonus fact: sushine is one of his nicknames for our Chen. 🌞

[@ForlifeNA]

Chennn The SINGER The ARTIST that He Is. Chen as a lyricist is so underrated as well. Not just singer and a performer. Many people think he sings only ballad, they dont that he was a part of a rock band before exo debut. This man can do any genre.

[@Krissy24Exo]

This is why I love music reactions, especially from people who appreciate and understand the production that goes into making music I really loved your reaction sir Chen is out of this world ❤❤❤

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

thank you very much!

[@sakuraseora]

Thank you so much for listening Chen album

Jongdae is a giant bubble of love. He is the Audrey Hepburn of our age and time. Anyone spreading hate on this angel shall burn.

[@vilmachuquimajochoque8924]

Omg! Mi Chenni Chen, ..me hace sentir tan orgullosa! Este álbum es una muestra de su genialidad, ..he disfrutado cada canción tanto como tú, gracias! Todos mis niños son tan talentosos y versátiles que estoy segura te seguirán sorprendiendo. 🤗 Saludos!

[@Strawberry_0408]

Chen is the best vocalist!!! ❤️🔥

[@Dinochenie]

This album production was amazing, i love all tracks Many kpop idols sing Japanese songs and albums but for me just this album gives jpop and japan vibe strongly Free world gives me anime opening vibe and i love it He is very good at emotional songs like his 3 Korean album are ballad and so emotional, and his single "Hello" made all of us cry Last song "My Sunshine" he sang this one for his fans and it has great letter to us so it's a bright song surely but in fact he is our sunshine Thank you for reacting to our vocal king and I'm glad you enjoyed his songs

[@marthaacosta3919]

For me Polaris was one of the best albums last year. ❤ Thanks for your reaction.

[@bulut7857]

I appreciate that Chen has THE ARTISTIC SOUL. I can feel his romantic and artistic style. he shows it in every work of him. Keep going Chen!!! We are here for you!!!

[@adricoverk]

Nunca escuché desafinar a Chen, ni en presentaciones en vivo...Puede hacer lo que quiera con su voz, lo admiro tanto ❤

[@jae7891]

Thanks for this in depth listening party for Chen’s first Japanese album! It’s definitely my favorite of his solos albums because of all the different genre of songs. If you want more of the retro sound like My Sunshine, try EXO-CBX’s album Blooming Day.

[@nsya7272]

Forever my favourite vocalist

[@elymaffla8709]

Spend an hour? I didn't realize, I really enjoyed your reaction. What can I say about Chen? He is wonderful; he is the kind of person you can only appreciate and love. His voice is so beautiful, and he conveys so many feelings; Just as you experienced it, he can take you from sadness and loneliness to joy and joy. I hope you can listen to his three albums (in Korean): "April and a Flower" is an album full of very beautiful but very sad songs, that even without knowing the language, can make you cry and make your heart hurt; "Dear My Dear" is the second album where you can feel his happiness, optimism, joy from him. And "Last Scene" is a rollercoaster of feelings, a priceless mix of rhythms, high notes, smooth voice and his way to experiences life. Chen is an angel who has always said that he wants his music to be healing for people; He has a very warm and noble heart. As an artist, he is the King of OSTs (kdramas soundtrack), King of High Notes and King of Ballads; he also has a rock side. He is a songwriter and is part of the EXO-CBX subunit (they have a spectacular retro funk vibe). Thanks for your analysis. I was able to discover new sounds and ingredients in Polaris songs, which made me happier. You made me remember sounds from the 90s that I had forgotten. This album is really a great production. It's so great to be EXOL; We have so much good music to enjoy. Nine soloists, each with their own style, plus two subunits and the complete group. It's a privilege.🤩😁

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

Thank you for that... glad you liked it and I made you remember a few things here and there.

[@スカーレット-l6o]

CHENのアルバムに反応していただきありがとうございます♪ ギョンス(🐧)カップとっても良いですね😊 EXOの反応またお願いします🎉

[@EB-J61]

Dear Pierre, this reaction video of yours made me very happy. Because I can understand that your interest in music stems from your knowledge as well as your love. In the civilization I live in, scholars learned a foreign language in order to understand a foreign poem or a foreign book. They would only do this for that one little text they liked very much. As you know, this album by dear Chen is in Japanese. And the excellent songs in this album, especially the song Free World, made me want to learn the Japanese language and understand Chen's emotional state while singing the song. I don't want to say bias, but the person who connects me to the Exo group was Kai, my spiritual lover and soul mate lol. When Kai was going to the military, he suggested a song for every occasion so that we could listen to his songs all the time (oh my sweet voice Kai). Anyway, despite this situation, I listened to Chen's album almost more. I mean, Chen is an amazing vocalist. Listening to him with love and listening knowingly are different. Since you play guitar, I was especially curious about your reaction to the electric guitar sounds in the song Free World. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity. I also thanked God for giving you, who are so interested in music, the opportunity to meet this album. My education is in music and I wouldn't want you to experience the loss of not listening to this album. I wish you a good day and a week with lots of reactions. (And please don't forget Kai's albums:)

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

Thank you so much for your kind words.... I will get into all Exo members solo albums :)

[@baiitoyaa]

I really like when you bring and play your guitar. I be like wow you’re so talented! Love everything of your reaction. Thank you soooo much for reacting to Polaris!!

[@gyovannam]

I'm feeling lovely because the first two full album reacts were my two favorites. Thank you for this gift, Pierre!! By the way, has anyone ever mentioned that your voice is soft? I feel comfortable listening to you talk lol.

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

thank you so much 🥰 I will definitely listen to all solo albums of the Exo members here on the channel..... and you might even hear me sing when we hit the 20000 subscribers... I want to cover Adele's "When we were Young" 😊😊😊😊

[@gyovannam]

Aaaaah, that's great news. I hope this really happens! I'll be excitedly waiting for it. It will be great to hear you sing!!

[@sousourigi5313]

By the way, Chen was pranked by exol Sunshine. His vocal abilities are indescribable, as is his music, which is always beautiful and uplifting. Two days ago, Chen performed on a Korean program on KBS as a cover of an old Korean song in a female key, which shocked everyone.

[@chenamour]

this is such a great album!!! it’s very different from what we’d come to expect from Jongdae’s albums-i can appreciate his versatility. glad you enjoyed it, Pierre!!! love that you have a knowledge of music and are able to pull out your guitar to work through some of the songs’ elements! looking forward to the next album review :)))

[@ferpor27]

Thank you Pierre for bringing CHEN!💫 I really like your reactions, with which, I understand and discover, all the details of each song analyzed, through your technical knowledge. I'm a proud EXO-L, I really like all its members.❤ But, I confess that the voice that most captured my senses was, without a doubt, CHEN's. Powerful, yet smooth, sweet and especially clean and clear. I don't have technical knowledge, but that's how I feel. After watching several shows, such as EXO's LADDER, his personality confirmed my personal taste, a reserved but very loud, fun kid with a big heart. And always, in any situation, using his voice, humming perfectly. I loved your comments on the POLARIS album, the analysis of each of the songs, it was in line with what I felt when I listened to them. Obviously, with all the details you pointed out, I like it even more. Thanks!👏 The last song "My Sunshine" is dedicated by Chen to all his fans: Soondingies! And yes, we will go with him!🤍 Note. 💥If you can, don't miss CHEN's performance with singer Hynn, this week, on a KBS program:💥 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ3adIqLqbiGbdk And kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ2ukHuNnaaqlaM

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

[@amberkonan]

There's a new video of him recently singing "Tears" with Hynn. It's a short clip but please check it out. Chen's vocals is just WOW.

[@kib_h20]

I would recommend watching the latest Tears by Chen and HYNN. It just dropped this week and it was awesome. If you love D.O's Rewrite The Stars, you will love this one. Be the first to watch it. There are also other duet from both of them in the show and its also super good

[@NeonReactionsPierre]

[@theowl6141]

Thank you a ton for keeping my request. It made my day. My favourite song from this album is definitely Mirage of flower. What I like about this album is it's really versatile in terms of songs unlike his usual Korean songs I guess. I certainly wasn't expecting something like this. So it was a pleasant surprise to me. I loved this album so much. Chen is a master of music and vocals for sure.

[@pichaa.ann276]

I think ppl often overlook it because Chen has a very powerful voice and "Can Hit Every Note" lol but I think one of his special skill is his dynamic control and emotion when he's singing.. that's why we can feel whatever emotion the song trying to give just by hearing his voice, without knowing the lyrics, or seeing his expression 😌

This album is a masterpiece ,different genre very meaningful healing songs ,each song so different from each other . He show case his low register mid & high register

[@pamelafaerye7941]

It was fun and as educational as usual listening to these songs with your reactions, Pierre! These songs are brilliant and so well composed and so beautifully executed. You're right! Light of My Life really does have a 90s vibe, but I also can hear an old school 50s approach mixed in. Maybe because the 90s vibe tapped into that? But it is super catchy, a real pleasant earworm for me for days and days after I first heard it. Also, it's neat how well we learn YOU as you react, Pierre. When Free World started, I was thinking "I bet he's gonna work out that guitar bit when he's done." But you couldn't help but pick it up right away! I chuckled a little. ... It's great to hear Chen stretch more of his skills. He's so good. Thanks again for listening and seeing the colors Chen doesn't always get to show in EXO. Have a great week! 🙂
