SM saw that people were talking bad about their artist vocals and they gave us this masterpiece of an album to prove them wrong. 💖 also…they want everyone else o become SM stans 😂

[@onceyoujongintheresnowaytojong]

Don't know why these days kpopies were just hating sm artist....they are the legend and sm is the reason kpop is here today

[@markleeismylee1511]

but Time After Time should be remembered in KPOP for atleast another 100 years. NOBODY PRODUCES BETTER MUSIC THAN SM. THEY ARE REAL MUSICIANS AND NOT JUST MODELS, ENDORSES OR A CULTURAL ICON. WENDY+NING+BOA=1000/100😭💕

[@Sayuri8663]

Yes yes 🙌 👍 strongly agree

[@spaceships.s344]

Time after time is just an ear candy. It is as sweet as honey. BoA, Wendy, and Ningning vocal combination is just unreal, this album is such a gift

[@mr.kanemotossteak]

Caitlin: "The vocals on this album has literally physically drained me." Also Caitlin: Jumping, bopping and partying to Good to be Alive 😂

LMAOOO I had a little bit left In me 😭🤣

[@GopherCakeStuff]

You can tell how much SM loves music. That's one thing I can feel after all these years being an SM fan. The vocals, the producers that they have. The way they're always trying new things.

[@Lyf4rMusic]

Exactly ! I think it definitely shows how much they love the aspect of musical production (eg: producers telling stories of how fun the SM Song camps are) and just love to experiment various genres of music and they're definitely fearless in not caring the songs they release to be mainstream-focused !

[@GopherCakeStuff]

@@Lyf4rMusic and the amount of times the utilize an orchestra 👩🏾‍🎨

[@takenononsense]

@@GopherCakeStuff they have their own orchestra team now, so they can just put any orchestra sounds in their song all they want. SM literally have their own team for almost every genres of music now

[@strawberryjelly908]

[@strawberryjelly908]

Sm just don't follow trends, they are finding their own trends and that's so refreshing. I don't celebrate Christmas but i feel like i had some seasonal joy because of sm. This whole month felt like a celebration as a sm stan. There were so many gift sm gave us. I only stan sm now,. And trust me i was a yg and hybe stan and also was a sm anti thanks to some fandoms😫. I felt pathetic after finding about sm.

SM is not taking us to a palace with this album they are taking us to CHURCH.

OK but the way these 3 vocalists have disrespected my ears with their onslaught of delicious honey vocals this early in the morning is just not right!! I knew all of them could sing super well but I didn't know they could SANGGGGGGG.

[@makennamajus2013]

Okay hold up… can we all just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Caitlin came out with FIVE videos today, right after Christmas, and not only that, but three of them are album reactions??! The amount of time and energy that must of taken… THANK YOU SO MUCH CAITLIN!!!💗💗

SM make certified bops, every time they drop and album. And every time they debut a new group, they always jam pack it full of talent. It's amazing, the depth of talent and power that there is at this company. The fact that only about half of their amazing-est artists were on these 10 tracks, is the real jaw-dropper. They could literally put out a whole other album, with all of the members/artists that aren't on this album, so there are no overlaps, and have it bang just as much. That's crazy!!!

[@yimmeiwong7461]

Vocal Chenle is what I'm living for. We need Cholo (Chenle Solo) album

[@asyrafdimyati2529]

SM always delivers with their vocals

[@fefa1414]

SM vocals are everything! This album is a masterpiece.

[@kayczennie]

This is the most lines johnny got in a song, as a johfam I almost cried. It was beautiful ;___;

[@silverrsea]

No, because, I was SO ready for SM to make him be a part of the DJ line-up only especially with his 'Showme' stint so when his lines came out I literally almost cried too 😭

[@IZTheOne]

Imagine the headache SM's A&R team is facing with the amount of talent they have to create this end of the year albums. It's a good headache to have lol!

[@bwcenter95]

Good To Be Alive is such a feel good song! Love how exciting it was!

[@Februaryrosesss]

the amount of soul in time after time. Like I literally felt like I lost my husband and my kids and parents all at once. Like those women were SINGING!

[@yoonjaehooked]

Good to be Alive with Johnny!! I almost forgot the album launched with all the holiday festivities! Nice hearing it first hand with you Caitlin!

[@STAN_LOONA]

SM feels like the only Kpop company that genuinely makes music for the love of it and not just to make money. They produce incredible music, experiment and push the industry and that in turn makes them money.

[@Lele-mk9gr]

Vocal Chenle.. I LOVE SO MUCH 😭💗

[@yesungieescloud9825]

16:25 yes, he's Yesung from Super Junior. He's the main vocalist, along with Ryeowook (10:04 in Where You Are) and Kyuhyun. If you're looking for vocals, KRY is really up there in the industry

[@soledad221]

That's the only type of reaction that 'Time After Time' deserves.

25:00 she’s called Hyo (Hyoyeon) and she’s a member of girls generation :) her solo music is also really good, i think you’d love her!! also hope you have a happy new year caitlin 🎉

[@rebeckaroy6790]

I second this, her album is on repeat regularly in my house :) I love the variety in her style and her husky tone and her choice of songs... I just love Hyo And what a dancer!

[@KathyLuvSNSD]

@@rebeckaroy6790 yeeess..me too

[@serenahale1102]

Yasss!

[@yoogeunjung336]

The girl with the pink hat is Hyoyeon from Girls Generation, maybe you didn't recognize her cause she always had the least singing and screentime part in the GG song and mv, but she is one of kpop Dancing Queen,, check her solo stuff, she got a lot of addicting song 🥰🥰

[@tonisandifor4118]

Good to be alive was my absolute favorite song. Ningnings voice was sooo beautiful

Thx Caitlin for reacting this album .... 😍😘

[@moonmoonStar]

For those shitting on SM vocals, SM artists have been serving vocals since forever. Before SMCU, there was S.M. THE BALLAD. Hot Times and Joint Recital Chen and Jonghyun were heavenly.

They really did that. This album is legit AOTY idc what they say.

[@lovelee_zhi]

16:32 yes Caitlin, Yesung is a Super Junior member and indeed one of SM's unique tone of voice

[@ZainZain-ng1ev]

yesung voice is amazing it’s soo different it’s always makes me emotional

[@lindaliu9041]

I like time after time the most. I need the album for this trio.

[@lovelee_zhi]

I personally don't think that this album gonna be this amazing even though I'm an SM stan. That's why I'm not listening to all of the tracks until I found you reacting to them. But SM really bragging their best of the best talents and put it in the song that suits them. Hot and Cold is one of the most unexpected combinations tbh for me, but they're slaying!

[@Lyf4rMusic]

I knew Time after Time would be too much for you after just reacting to Priority :) ... They're just too damn gorgeous vocally !!

[@nowthatisalongassride1619]

23:22 okay but Caitlin harmonizing with Ningning was perfect Smcu 2024 album ft. Caitlin pls

[@kavyamohta6293]

It's so heartwarming to see you so happy and dancing along with the album, Caitlin :')

[@Lyf4rMusic]

14:17 The guy that was highlighted blue was Ryeowook, one of the 3 Main Vocalists of Super Junior ! I don't know if you reacted to 'Super Junior K.R.Y' sub-unit performances or songs, but if you haven't, I'm so jealous that you'll be experiencing them for the 1st time :)

OKAY SM ARTISTS ARE JUST HIGH-END

Ok 9:55 this is a second time I see you apreciating Ryeowooks vocals so I feel obligated to recommend Hiding words and Blue Bird MV. Yes, he performed it live as well (if youd wonder after watching) 😉

Caitlin : when chen's line came and she didnt saw it on screen.. got shocked by the vocals 2 times.. lol... thats may fav also in this album.. good to be alive!!! Wooohoooo!!!

[@Lyf4rMusic]

16:25 Yep, he's Yesung, another main vocalist from Super Junior and one of my Utimate biases among Vocalists !! He can be real heavy and husky if he's singing a heart-wrenching song, but he can also sing airily like here and change the mood :)

[@blackroseinbloom]

25:00 the girl with the pink hat is Hyoyeon from Girls’ Generation. Not many people have given her recognition for her vocals/rapping since she rarely got lines in songs up until 2015 and has since done solo work as well. I do highly recommend you check out her solo stuff if you enjoyed her voice here. Fun fact, she’s also a DJ and has performed at the SMCU live aftershows. She’s my #1 ult so my heart is happy seeing your genuine reaction to her in your smcu videos.
