No need to apologize for Wheein appreciation!! It's generally accepted that she has the best technique in mmm and is underappreciated by most reactors (sadly)

[@smurfmarshmallow]

I think reactors overlooked Wheein because her technique is so good, she made those high notes and runs seem effortless and easy. It takes vocal experts - like Sir Austin here - to understand, highlight, and give appreciation to our Wheein of what a great vocalist she is!

[@xheralt]

Also, admitting when your bias is getting wrecked -- as happens with distressing frequency with Mamamoo -- is not looked down on my MooMoos, unlike other fandoms.

[@teambellavsteamalice]

@@smurfmarshmallow Indeed, making it seem so easy 😉 indeed! Floor Jansen (Nightwish) often has this too, the easiest looking parts are often extremely technical. I think that the purposeful "mistakes", Solar belting with a bit too much power, Hwasa singing this way, makes them sound more colorful and makes it more live and maybe seem more impressive. Wheein just ate CD's and effortlessly matches either of them a little power, a little warmth, but almost purposely held back to make them shine even more. At the same time she carries the harmonies and is drowned out by them. So much fun to see a vocal coach point this out!

[@idkkacoolusername9157]

for the immortal song performances moonbyul writes and adds the raps in her self

[@Hello-cp1eq]

Yes, because they cover other songs. And the song doesn't have rap in it.

[@kpopscenario1406]

yea

[@PequenoGiant]

As someone who watched these ladies from pre-debut, can I say I appreciate you appreciating Wheein. She used to say how she was the least popular because everyone notices the other girls first (based on the things you mentioned, rap, belt, charisma, etc). But a staff (maybe a producer, I forget from what) had mentioned that she's the foundation and probably the most versatile in the group when it comes to her voice. It's just good to see people notice how the group comes together as a whole and each of their contributions

[@Avalyn_CL]

In fact I don’t think Wheein is the least popular in south korea, her voice really got appreciated.

[@noname12234]

I think wheein is one of the most popular in Korea. Definitely all her songs rank high on melon their main music chart which shows the general public and not just the fandom appreciate her vocals. She was also the first to receive a music show award for her collab in "Anymore". None of the others until Hwasa recently with Jujima had received awards for their collab songs. Although Moonbyul rarely gets collab songs (only 3 in total) Hwasa, Wheein and Solar have a lot of them.

[@OpinionatedMatt]

Wheein is the most versatile member in Mamamoo for sure, she can do it all vocally and she is a more rounded dancer than Moonbyul really, also she is in charge of harmonies in the group so she is the foundation of their sound.

[@ikra291]

By the way the staff that mentioned that is actually their co-CEO and Producer Kim Do Hoon

[@fafvvrfe]

it was the ceo who said she is the foundation. we can sii that in the i love too official mv

[@silbiahn9325]

It's ok sir austin, wheein deserves the recognition and appreciation!! She's really underrated. Thank you for ur honest reaction love it!!

i love the way you always hype my girl wheein ! her vocals truly are incredible and so under appreciated in the kpop industry

[@jordannatasha4635]

yooo too true!!

[@wheesamoonsun3388]

Yeah generally under appreciated by fans but for SK producers they chasing over her esp OST songs

[@booknerdjebbi5037]

@@wheesamoonsun3388 bruh if I were a producer and had a chance at having Wheein sing my songs, I'd learn to breathe underwater to get her to do it

[@SapiaNt0mata]

internationally yes, but in South Korea she's is OVERappreciated. she has won 2-3 times in Duet Festival(Solar hasn't won), and the 1st time was in 2015. when Park Bom from 2ne1 listened Mamamoo she changed her solo song just to have Wheein as a feat(she only sing 1 verse cause the song was arranged as solo so they couldn't do much).

[@EverybodyMooParty]

Moonbyul said a while back that she felt like crap sometimes standing there for most of the song. But thanks to her personal growth, and growth in popularity, she has much more presence in their performances these days.

[@xheralt]

You can see it. I felt sorry for her, up there on stage with nothing to do, no lines and no choreo.

[@luanas.s]

some of my fav mamamoo performances in the immortal songs for you to react to if you want: - passion flower - the way to sampo - wonderful confession - flying into the night sky

Don't forget Love Story Of A Girl. Wheesa singing half of my life is yours to each other is just a magical moment.

[@citizend13]

From what I remember this was from 2015 just a year from their debut - they came in pretty much as unknowns and this is pretty much how they built up their reputation by being that girl group that could actually sing. just by going through the immortal song videos you can also see Solar's technique improve - from what I remember early on she put too much strain on her voice when she belts.. Definitely check out the rest of the series. it's a bit of a black hole.

[@jaylmehrten]

Considering they were still rookies during this time but their vocals is through the roof already. I agree, Wheein is usually overlooked by newer fans but she's beloved by the fandom in general which shows whenever they have this fun game/competition and would ask the fans to pick the winner, moos would always pick her regardless of their bias. Everyone is a softie when it comes to our Wheepup but yeah, doesn't shake the fact that she's the most underappreciated member and the sad thing is, she's aware of it.

[@romaniafix7077]

Acuatlly you will see more when they go some shows together.

[@adara4635]

prodigger3000 Wheein’s solos have the least amount of views (esp Goodbye like fr it was released over a year ago and doesn’t even have 4mil views), she has the least amount of followers of the members that have instagram, on kpop voting apps she’s usually the one with the least amount of fans/favorited 🤷🏻‍♀️ Since gogobebe i feel like she’s definitely gotten more attention, and at MAMA last year she trended as ”the girl with blue hair” on twt. But in general like in reactions and stuff people tend to not see her for some reason.

[@autumneagle]

WheePup is my bias but yeah, she definitely gets looked at "last" by people who get into Mamamoo. I guess the others are just flashier? IDK because I feel they're all equally amazing. I think it might be because WheeIn has a "girl next door" vibe to her, she doesn't come off as a bad-ass or diva or sultry goddess. But that's the type of vibe I really like the best.

[@rn6610]

IMO Wheein hasn't been undepreciated for years now though 😅 In fact Id say she is one of the more popular girls, at least for reactors.... PPl only think she is overlooked b/c wheein fans keep telling new moomoo's that she is.

[@daniellxnder]

Can confirm this because back then in 2015-2016, Byul/Hwa/Yong always stole my attention and Whee didn't really stay in my memory. Only in 2019 that she eventually made me Whee-In mostly because of MMMTV and off-camera contents

[@triplefudgesundae]

I appreciate the wheein appreciation. I'm glad wheepup gets more love. She's actually very famous in the fandom. The saying "once you wheein you can't whee-out" is very true. I've watched their Immortal songs performances in chronological order and you'll definitely see them improve in terms of technique (they already sound amazing from the start tho). I noticed hwasa experimenting a lot with her voice before but she always starts the performance with such emotions. Solar is assigned the high parts of the song and maybe because she has the most powerful voice, she was given a lot of high belts. Try to listen to her solo work Solar gamsung, a collection of cover songs that means a lot to her to hear another side to her vocals. I personally love this project, it's similar to IU's flower bookmark albums which i also adore. I remember a veteran singer said in one of the IS2 episodes that not one member in mamamoo is inessential in their performances. Byul may have gotten fewer lines before but as you watch all their performances, they give the spotlight to byul when it's her turn. Either they huddle to one microphone singing back up or step back and dance behind her. And the fact that they managed to include rap parts to trots and ballads is simply amazing plus byul even writes her own raps. Yes there are better singers than them individually but as a group, for me, they're on top. I haven't heard harmonies that tight since I dunno, en vogue? And most of the time if you put singers of this caliber together, they often try to outsing each other but these four just blends well together despite having different tones, colors, textures and styles to their voices

[@kalaksed]

another girl group rapper also said it's hard to mimic byul's rap style because she frequently gets used as narration, a way to help control the emotion of the song. and that's doubly true for the immortal song performances

[@triplefudgesundae]

@@kalaksed her immortal songs raps were like spoken poetry and it's beautiful

[@ferMADify]

You said everything!

[@christophurkey]

Yes to En Vogue! I love both groups, especially for their skilled and precise harmonies, but hadn't put 2 & 2 together until I saw this.

[@arianne688]

I totally agree with you on this. Even in the fandom, we consider wheein as the backbone of mamamoo's vocals because she is the most stable and healthiest when it comes to technique. However, we can never say it is mamamoo without solar's powerful vocals, hwasa's colorful sultry voice and moonbyul's low, alto harmonies and amazing raps. They all are equally talented and putting them all together is such a powerhouse. Thank you for this reaction! 😊

[@rudyvanimmerzeel1675]

This is originally a Tom Jones song. It's not a country song, I don't know who told you that, but it's not country originally. The old guy you see is the man who wrote the Korean version of the song. On that program the different singers/groups had to perform a song written by him.

[@sophiarosalind]

I came here to say the same thing, so was happy to see your comment. It was funny to hear that, given that Tom Jones was like a hip-swinging sex symbol that women threw panties at. 😂

[@SirAustin]

My bad! I wasn't super familiar with the original song.

[@xheralt]

Despite looking like he was about to rejoin his ancestors at any second, he was quite impressed -- blown away, even -- by their performance.

[@chelsealouise7923]

Tom Jones is from Wales and this is uper popular in the UK and its sound so diffrent but I love this cover @siraustin

[@ChocolateTeapot93]

I'm so glad someone in the comments knows who Tom Jones is 😂 Do Americans not know him? He's a legend.

A couple of months ago I recommended this to another reactor and she really liked the idea, maybe you can react to all of their immortal songs performances in chronological order. You will see how their vocals evolved and how they changed in the arrangements for their presentations. They have performed on immortal since 2014 until last year (hoping for that 2020 performance) so you will see how much they grow

[@BoardEntity]

I think its really underestimated how important Wheein is in making Mamamoo work as a vocal group. I think part of the reason Mamamoo is allowed to have such outstanding and differentiated color is because Wheein is there to support them. I'm sure Hwasa and Solar could work as a vocal duo, but its pretty clear that Wheein allows them to have the freedom they get to enjoy in the group. To your point about technique, particularly with Solar, I believe when they were a younger group Solar and Hwasa's voices could definitely have been at risk of being damaged. There were times where they would perform 3 live shows in a day and this type of grueling pace would be kept up for the months (college festival season). I recall hearing that Wheein would actually pick up some of Hwasa's parts when her voice wasn't in good condition and I think it she also occasionally covered for Solar. I'm glad they've been so successful and aren't necessarily in a position where they HAVE to put their vocal chords at so much risk anymore not only because it'd be such a shame to lose such beautiful voices but such positive voices for particularly the lgbt community in Korea.

[@choding2140]

You don't know how much I cried after watching A WHOLE LOT of Mamamoo reaction videos where Wheein was literally overlooked, like really it's heartbreaking for a Wheein-biased. They always mention the other members and most often than not forget to talk about Wheein, like at all. It almost as if she's invisible. It's literally HEARTBREAKING! So you don't have to apologize whenever you show appreciation for our Wheepup. It means a lot to us who craves for some appreciation and love for Wheein. I love all your Mamamoo reaction videos btw. You're one of the most honest out there. Keep it up!

[@rinarosecatacutan9035]

So trueeee i feel you everytime TT

[@edzellenaquila1438]

i love how this turned to a wheein appreciation video. a lot of delilah reactors tend to overlook wheein's parts on this performance, so it's refreshing that you're pointing out wheein's huge contribution on this. i love this, i love your honest reactions so much. looking forward to more mamamoo reactions! x

[@moodinessrants6695]

If you want to see something a little more recent, I Miss You from Queendom is from last year and, best of all, it really showcases Wheein’s voice. It’s five minutes of Mamamoo’s powerhouse vocals just barreling through everything, it’s great.

[@awheeinstan173]

no need to apologize for appreciating wheein more, i think a lot of moos love it wether wheein is their fave member or not since its kinda refreshing whenever reactors react more for wheein

[@valentinamartinez1913]

I love it when someone appreciates wheein's voice, cause usually, everyone doesn't pay too much attention to her awesome voice.

[@graceababan]

Only someone with a good ear or those vocally trained like Austin notices Wheein's genius since she usually steps back to support the other 3 members in most Mamamoo songs. She definitely shines in Immortal Song performances.

[@viktoriakelemenic9593]

The one performance that makes almost all moomoos cry and has all their beautiful vocals is I love you too. Which is a song dedicated to mamamoos fans and it’s beautiful you should definitely watch it (the live one is the best in terms of their vocals)

[@polza1049]

I think Moonbyul is often a part of the harmony, but the camerapeople like shooting the dramatic belting faces more I guess. It's just kinda confusing because I'm sure that Moonbyul holds the base of the harmony and alts usually receive less love. Maybe it's just me speculating tho.

[@irdib]

Your reaction is the best because your comment is sooo detailed and on point. You could reacted to Mamamoo - backwoods (immortal song)

[@LaylaT6]

If you want to hear some of Solar’s different vocals please watch her songs Nada Sou Sou and It’s Been A Long Time. They were part of a project album she did covers and rearrangements of classic songs. Both songs have mv’s

[@yeskblanco9103]

Why do you keep apologizing for praising Wheein's vocals? Lol. Every Moomoo is OT4 at heart, so we love to hear you compliment and comment on all of them, regardless of who your bias is. Also, I would LOVE to see you react to Solar x Wheein songs, because, as you said, their voices sound INCREDIBLE together. Their sub-unit is know as ANGEL LINE (which is very accurate). I'd love to see your reaction to MMM's pre-debut masterpiece Don't Be Happy. This was literally the song they put out to introduce MMM to the world before their official debut, it was to give the world a taste of what was to come. It is an Angel Line song, but I cannot praise it enough and I cannot tell you how sad it makes me not many people even know about it. You could also check out No Cool I'm Sorry in the same video (we Moos love longer videos for sure!), a cover by Angel Line, which, again, not many people know about. Great stuff! I hope you find the time to react to these.

[@Bongi344]

[@karlaacosta8754]

I’m really in love with all of her performances on immortal songs. They have a total of 13 appearances on the show and in each one they demonstrate the tremendous vocal potential they have, from moonbyul's rapping to soft song performance, Wheein's beautiful nuances, hwasa's unique voice color and the unique power voice of Solar. The harmonizations they have are wonderful, I totally recommend you see all their presentations on immortal songs, you will end up falling in love with the girls.

Omg yesss I'm so happy this video pushed through and I got to see it. I really needed the iconic Delilah reaction, I mean, I've watched this at least 50 times, and I always get goosebumps. You're not being too daring by saying they're the best vocalists in kpop, I've been a fan for many years and I genuinely agree, there's no other group like them. Thank you for not giving up and uploading it after all the trouble, I really appreciate it.

[@kalaksed]

oh, glad the appeal worked and doubly glad to see this reaction up i want to say that 'is2' has been explained before but honestly can't recall (i know someone did a little bit in the comments here already). the show is a musical competition where 6-7 artists of various genres perform 'immortal' songs, those that tend to have a special meaning to them, particularly to south koreans. there's always a theme for each episode, usually a specific singer or songwriter or composer, mostly korean but sometimes not (they've had michael jackson and michael bolton episodes, for example). frequently, if the artist/songwriter is still alive, they'll be sitting at a raised table in the audience (the old guy that frequently looked dead in this video was the 'original' artist here. he redid tom jones's song in korean, with the girls kind of taking it back to its original roots here). sometimes there are episodes dedicated to other themes, though, like spring or rain or such, then the artists will pick from a list of songs that match that theme the performers come from all kinds of musical backgrounds, the only requirement is that they can actually sing (there's been one exception that i'm aware of and it didn't go over well at all). you'll see traditional korean singers vs balladeers vs trot singers (another wholly korean musical style, originally founded upon foxtrot) vs musical theatre actors/actresses vs r&b artists and more. frequently, these artists will have 10-20 years of experience singing. a really tough competition, though everyone has a lot of fun together in the green room between performances. kpop groups don't get invited all that often, and usually those that do get invited tend to only be once or twice. mamamoo has been on the show 14 times over the past five years, with only two performances from 2018 to now (because they've been so busy with the 4 season project in 2018, everything they did in 2019 and 2020's been all about their solo activities until next month). there are kpop artists that get invited pretty frequently but they're solo artists like ailee or ben (female artist despite the name), and there are members of groups that get invited individually. whole grups, though, not so much. when mamamoo was first invited it was about 6 months after their debut and even then they intimidated the other artists on that episode, particularly two senior artists, a legendary rock musician and a legendary trot singer (the rock singer even had at least one episode of the show about him and his music, so a literal living legend). these two constantly talked the girls up and neither one wanted to perform either right before or right after the girls. exceptionally high praise, in a way they wound up making a name for themselves on and through the show, being able to show sides they couldn't through the typical kpop channels. this helped skyrocket their popularity with the general public, where people tended to try to differentiate between 'idol' and 'artist'. and their second appearance on the show was a month after the first one, so they were basically invited back as they were leaving from their first appearance... that is also huge praise. and they're the only kpop group that's competed in a 'king of kings' episode, which happen near the end of each year, a competition between artists that had won previous episodes over the course of that season 'immortal songs 2' is actually how i was introduced to mamamoo, alongside a whole slew of other amazing singers such as ailee and ben mentioned before, bora and ali, song sohee and moon myungjin and so many more... and from there, mamamoo is what got me into kpop, though they've also made it hard to enjoy a lot of kpop on more than a cursory level, if that makes sense i know many others are suggesting that you check out all 14 of their performances, esp in chronological order so you can see and hear the growth and while i wholeheartedly support that, i both want to warn you of the potential for copyright strikes for certain songs and the blocks you're already familiar with and also suggest that you check out full episodes at some point, if you can, to see just what the girls were up against each time (the episodes tend to be about an hour and a half long though some are done as two-parters that get aired over the course of two weeks) also, i like the idea of you checking out the 'making of' episode of mamamoo tv after checking their third immortal songs performance, "passion flower". it shows a bit of them practicing (and messing around) the vocals and harmonies while also dividing the lines, then working on creating the choreography for the song, all over the course of four days before they had to perform it

[@anjoaninhamorango]

I already knew Mamamoo back in 2018, but I wasn't a stan before watching this video randomly. I was so shocked they were this incredible live, not only because of their vocals but also their stage presence, that I fell into Mamamoo's Immortal Songs performances hole. I started to watch one after the other and became a hardcore moomoo by the third one. Thank you for reacting to Delilah and giving all your honest and amazing insights. My favorite performance of Immortal Songs is Wonderful Confession, but they are all good. Also, I don't know if people told you already, but this show was a key factor for them getting more recognition in Korea as a talented girl group. :D

[@omnipyrmaeus]

My initial reaction to seeing this was "OMG! Yes!" because it is one of my favorite performances by Mamamoo (if not my favorite, period). My secondary reaction was "Did he watch to the end?" because a lot of reactors miss what is my favorite part of the performance - that harmony at the last second. A little context now, in case you're not familiar. The show is a way for groups/individuals to pay homage to famous Korean artists by covering their hits. Now, "Delilah" was originally (as far as I'm aware) a Tom Jones song. It was then covered by a Korean artist - specifically the older gentleman in the black outfit that they kept cutting to. Mamamoo's performance, then, was a cover of his cover of the Tom Jones song. The rap part was written by Moonbyul, herself, but the other Korean lines were a part of the original cover.

Hello Sir Austin :) Wheein's performance to 'Forget me now' is worth checking too. It is by far my most favorite performance from her. She performed it in a duet competition and her duet partner was not one of her members. You can see how versatile she is and how she harmonize with other singers. And her duet partner is an amateur singer but sounds really good as well. Much love from the Philippines ❤️

Here's also a link for your easy reference kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYGofmujrNqbrdU . Since you are also covering dreamcatcher, I am now tempted to check them out. Honestly speaking, I'm actually restraining myself to check out other groups as I don't want to be disappointed since my standard for a group is Mamamoo. But I trust your opinion and taste so I will try to check them out :) Will be waiting for your future videos 😁

[@awheeinstan173]

ive always appreciate their voices in different way and my favorite have always been wheein's, as for solar i think i love her voice the most in their Romantic Doctor 2 "I miss you" since i rarely hear her do delicate songs

Moomoos usually recommend Delilah since it is a revival of a famous Western song, so English speakers can be more familiar, but they sound more rested in the WONDERFUL CONFESSIONS performance. Hope you can check it out too. That was my first Immortal Songs performance from Mamamoo and that video converted me to being a Moomoo. If you want to hear Mamamoo sounding like angels from heaven with a 4-part harmony, then I suggest the MEETING performance. Since Immortal Song performances are all revival songs, might I suggest if you have a short listen to the original song first and then see Mamamoo's version ;)

[@crsthl3586]

A reactor who doesn't overlook Wheein yes😌 Thank you

[@neener7887]

"Bitch, lets have a sing off right now." I lost my damn mind when you said that lmao 😂😂😂

[@edenchiu262]

Mamamoo is the only one groups that I can’t choose my bias

[@gianellab.4953]

Nice reaction! You spoke the truth, Wheein does have the best technique haha No worries! Solar and Hwasa also have their own strengths, so it's fine! I hope you can check out BACKWOODS and WAY TO SAMPO. They are my favorite Immortal Song performances from MMM, and you might see more of Solar and Hwasa's strengths. Also, Hwasa's BE CALM/INTO THE FALL and Solar's NADA SOU SOU/LIKE A FOOL are amazing!

[@anto_ac3917]

Inmortal songs is like a music show competition and musicans,idols,etc are given an old artist and they have to do a cover. There are judges,so the important thing here is hability. Mamamoo won 2 times a whole episode and were the firts rookie group to win this show. They went famous for inmortal songs and given the name "BeLimo" that means Belive and listen to mamamoo

[@lishakeyz5920]

I love watching your journey with Mamamoo!! You probably already know but Mamamoo were only rookies when they were invited to appear in this program. They've appeared 14 times which is a record, are the only female kpop group to win an entire episode... and they did it 3 times: 1st win: Backwoods 2nd win: Wonderful Confession 3rd win: The dance in rhythm But all their other performances are equally as awesome (ontop of a high quality performance, I really think winning an episode depends on the order of performance which is drawn at random. The last 2 performances have a higher chance of winning from what I've seen lol) Some songs might sound familiar from the the medley you reacted to. I hope you check em all out!!!! I love the ones mentioned, delilah, passionflower, the way to Sampo and meeting. ...Ok maybe all of them Lol

[@DAMA7]

Well they were rookies at that time so they had imperfections but of course like wine they got better and yes Wheein has the best technique and its the support of mamamoo vocals. May I say (not an expert here): Yes I think Hwasa intro its intentional because for what I hear its hard to sustein that smokey low tone for that long of time. Love youre sincere reactions we learn so much from you and be prepare for the CB because it will be a lot of content from the past and present.

[@justmaebee]

Yes; I was about to say this was when they were wee rookies, and your comment is what I was aiming to say so might as well just agree and upvote yours so I don’t have to repeat :) THEY AGE LIKE FINE FINE WINE, VOCALLY, CONCEPT WISE, EVERYTHING

[@sowhat5399]

When you see wheein predubt auditions when she was 16 it will blow your mind away because she sang like this in those auditions when she was like 16 or 17 !!! She is just insanely talented no matter how hard you try God gifted Wheein talent !! In queendo she was sick so she didn't practice with them she just went to the rehearsals and learned whole thing in 10 minutes!?????

[@duwan4241]

This is one of my favorites. I always love when a vocal group does a vocal call and response much like a gospel song. I really love them. They are like the modern Destiny's Child to me. ♥️🔥

[@graceababan]

More technical videos, YES PLEASE! We're being entertained while learning a lot too.

[@rarodri5410]

Yeeeeees, I was waiting for this reaction. One of my favorite performance❤❤❤❤

[@daniellxnder]

10:53 Wheein echoing to Solar might be the birth of Decal Comanie

[@smittyfiggpaints]

Glad we get to see this!! Was waiting! Good break down as always. Wheein appreciation is always welcome!

[@fantasy9848]

It was funny to me how people kept under appreciating wheein... she was the first one i noticed in mmm. Her tone does something that tickles my ears and rings in my head. It's like honey, sweet, smooth and clear as a bell while somehow being full and powerful. Whenever her vocals sound I feel at ease and I am amazed by how she sings these high notes so comfortably! 'WooHoo' and 'Girl Crush' were two songs where I think her tone shines.

[@debbieoraye9675]

Me too 😊💕

[@sowhat5399]

Kim Doo Hoon Mamamoo producer and CEO said Wheein is the backbone of MAMAMOO !!

[@boperadotto8703]

As far as groups go I’m inclined to agree with you that Mamamoo are at the top, at least among those currently active. There are soloists and individual members (_cough_ Eunji) I’d put above them but it’s crazy that so much vocal talent has been packed into one group.

[@jake29t1]

Yeah I agree. Mamamoo is #1 group for me vocally. But my favourite vocalist in a group is Solji from EXID.

[@boperadotto8703]

@jake29t1 Solji is definitely up there

[@wheesamoonsun3388]

For me, mmm #1 for vocals and technique but eunji and solji surely top 5 among female kpop idols

[@anne8058]

this is one of my favourite performance of them in immortal songs 😭❤️ so happy you reacted to this and i'm hoping to see/watch more of you reacting to their immrotal songs performances;; i'd suggest reacting to backwoods and/or love story of a girl, really love these two as well ❤️

[@Evelyncr2011]

Passion Flower (Immortal Songs 2) It’s my favorite, with Delilah presentation of course.

[@ecynthiaa]

omg yes !!!! the reaction i’ve been waiting for

[@Genera1007]

Glad this got through :). Some how I almost missed this. Glad I always check for things I missed in last few days. Happy you got to this, and hope you check out the other immortal songs from mamamoo.

[@saelounn]

I really love your reactions!

[@Ula1409]

Great reaction. You should also react to all their other Immortal Songs performances. They're all amazing. Also than you for the Wheein appreciation we don't get that enough and się deserves all the praise :) You should react to her songs Easy and Anymore :)

[@noname12234]

Yes I love those songs. It's great to hear Wheein appreciated by international reactors but moos need to stop the narrative that she is underrated because she is not. Underappreciated by international reactor, I can see that but in South Korea she is very popular

[@francesff5215]

Thank you.. thank you so much for making reaction of mamamoo.. please make another reaction of mamamoo songs in the future..

[@teambellavsteamalice]

Oh, you did get a working video up! So great! 😍 It showed there was a video before but it was blocked...

[@hanadarmymoo]

I really love the way you speak. It's so clear and very pleasing to listen. I'm practicing by watching you🤣

[@JD-jp2cs]

Yess I love this Wheein appreciation she’s my bias and I love her vocals she’s definitely on par or even better than solar in my opinion.

[@nonomelon]

I've made it through so many of your reaction videos and I'm pressed you don't have more views because I absolutely love your insight and analysis!

[@crazyr2113]

Since Hwasa is your favourite, "Way to Sampo" is a must-see Immortal Song Performance. She nails it there, as well as the others. ☺️ Or passion flower where she took a rap part. But every Immortal Song Performance is worth seeing, everyone is great!

[@jaejae8070]

YES YES YES APPRECIATION OF WHEEIN’S VOCALS👏👏

[@rn6610]

If you want to see one of the best idol singers (at same level as mamamoo) i would suggest checking out Solji. She is a member of the group EXID and was actually their vocal coach before joining the group!

[@kudgeond755]

Oh? I didn't know Tom Jones did country. 😏 Congrats for watching the video to the end - so many reactors miss the last harmony and the moo-us interruptus is excruciating. The original had a latin feel with a cliche horn section quote from a song that escapes me. Mamamoo went a bit classier, so to speak, with the guitarist quoting Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez during the countdown to Moonbyul's first rap verse. I thought it was a great re-arrangement and Moonbyul's new raps upped the energy and shockingly fit right into a song that pre-dates rap, not to mention the radical gender & sexuality switch that turned a hetero revenge song into a lesbian crime of passion. Mamamoo's creativity, raw power and riveting stage presence at their early best - Delilah was only 15 months after their debut. Moonbyul didn't start singing on group songs until Paint Me in Jan 2018 so there's no use whining about not hearing her sing on their early songs. Her development as a singer has been fun to watch and now that she's pretty much a full member of the vocal line it opens up even more weapons in their already overwhelming vocal arsenal.

[@SirAustin]

LOL! My bad! I actually wasn't super familiar with the original song!

[@kudgeond755]

@@SirAustin Since I'm old I'm very familiar with Delilah and have cringey memories of my best friend's mom grossing us out by being overly hot & bothered by Tom Jones. I was gob smacked by MMM's cover - this is the performance that made me an instant moomoo. Watch one of the live vids of Mr Jones performing Delilah back in the day - it will probably increase your appreciation for what MMM did with it. 😂

[@headspop]

You talk with such a great choice of words, you describe what's happening so easily and make it super easy for someone like me (with very little knowledge on singing techniques) to understand what is happening

[@yogurLAPIZ]

I almost cried of how you listened to the end. Not much reactors finish and wait to see if there is more, so they always cut that tiny bit.

[@Bongi344]

This song still gives me goosebumps no matter times I've listened to it. That guitar solo during the last long notes tho! FIRE

[@AF-bp8tz]

And now I have to watch the other immortal song performances too. That's the rule 🤭

[@abautista91]

There are many talented idols with spectacular vocals, I'm sure you have some recommendations in the comment sections! But, very very few are like Mamamoo, a group where you have all members perform seamlessly together. They each have different vocal colors, but have practiced and gotten to know each other so well that they really aee in harmony (technically and figuratively, they gel together really well!) Delilah is one of my favorite performances from them! As others have said, do check out their other Immortal Songs performances for more live goodness!!!

[@LinaCT25]

Doesn't matter how many times I watch this... Chills never fail me...

[@lilith7843]

I'm still waiting for Introduction Guide of Mamamoo Part 2!! Please keep on reacting to Mamamoo! I love your explanations ~ ♡♡♡♡

[@celineng9250]

Love your reactions! Since many have recommended the whole immortal songs series, I will recommend the other programmes mamamoo also compete in, Sugarman(2 as groups and 1 with moonbyul solar) and King of the Masked Singer(they went solo for this), mamamoo have so much good performance that needed your reaction! Btw its TOO NORMAL to wreck your bias 24/7 being moomoo, dun feel sorry tho, be proud😎 cuz mamamoo is that good that each member shines and give us good music🥰

[@ayechanmyaemoe3383]

Their performances from immortal songs are all so amazing!! You should react to all of them.

[@MISSBLONDY9]

They always gives me goosebumps ❤️🔥

[@Claire-td1ng]

I missed this video notification 😅 But I'm so glad to see someone, amongst vocal coaches, actually critic and not just praise the good points. It makes things more interesting, and I love learning more about that kind of stuff 🥰 I suppose they're just afraid of upsetting the Fandom, but if the critic is done properly (objectively), we won't actually take any offense at all

[@AzarineArinta]

Back again at your comment section for another appreciation that you're appreciating Wheein. Wheein used to be underrated but I guess nowadays she's been appreciated more (especially because she sings a lot hit OST for KDrama) - but I always about to teared up whenever you mentioned how perfect Wheein's technique is. Most of the reaction video that I saw overlooked Wheein, she's not the flashiest in singing but damn my gurl is definitely stable and one of the best vocalist out there.

[@Bongi344]

One of reason why the fandom really likes to recommend Immortal Song and their YHY Sketchbook performance is because of the zero vocal playback.

[@makalynp8826]

Mamamoo immortal songs. Flower of passion. You would not be disappointed!!!

[@ElCide]

"wheein is overlooked" *agreeing intensifies*

[@nikezor1]

As a Wheein stan, seeing you appreciate her is nice. She gets overlooked a lot of times with new reactors cause of Solars powerful belts, Moonbyul's rapping or Hwasa's charisma. Just thought I'd share that I appreciate you.
