SINGER REACTS FIRST TIME TO Jessica Darrow - Surface Pressure (From "Encanto")

[@QofyReacts]

Absolutely loved this! I plan to follow it up. Feel free to give me the order of songs to check out❤

[@emmy1038]

If you’re not able to do a full movie reaction, react to “The Family Madrigal” first. It’s the first song in the movie and gives insight in all characters so you’ll understand the other songs. In order songs are The Family Madrigal Waiting on a miracle Surface Pressure We don’t talk about Bruno What else can I do Dos Oruguitas (watch with english subtitles) All of you

[@pandoamessi4079]

You should definitely check out 'We don't talk about Bruno' (but also 'the family Madrigal' to understand the characters!- so check this out first)! And I really appreciate that you were paying attention to the lyrics too! It really has a great message!

[@hunterwaco2889]

This entire sountrack is nothing but bops from beginning to end. NO MISTAKES

[@theudas443]

I loved your reaction! You grasped very well both the themes and the music. The movie this clip is from deals with very real issues that are seldom explored in media, let alone animation. Hopefully comments won't spoil too much... In terms of other songs, which are all bangers in their own right, I suggest you check out family Madrigal for more context on the story and we don't talk about Bruno for... Well, we don't talk about it, but it's #1 trending in youtube music for a reason. Others songs I would consider spoiler and I recommend you watch the movie before, if it seems like something you might be interested in

[@andytheunicorn]

If you can, after the "we don't talk about bruno" you could check up "what else can I do?", Disney just uploaded the musical video of that one

[@xianritchie]

"This must be an empowerment song." Oh, sweet summer child...

[@MuricaTurkey]

Underrated comment 😂

[@azulablue6988]

Another great reactor that I've seen is how, in the beginning, he thinks that this is somehow similar to Maui's You're Welcome song from Moana.

[@robertpresley1503]

I like how the Titanic(her family) doesn't swerve away from the iceberg, they just expect her to break it so they can keep going straight.

[@Vi_Vi_1]

That always stands out to me--basically saying they won't make accommodations for her/to save her the trouble because she's strong enough to deal with it. Which is what happens to a lot of us who are "the strong one" of the family

[@somewhat1007]

Ohh so that’s what it means. I’ve been wondering what that line actually meant

[@pocketsthekender]

Also if you look at the ship it says Madrigal on the side instead of titanic, as in the Family Madrigal. That little tidbit makes it even clearer.

[@milo_thatch_incarnate]

I really feel like the single line that carries the most weight, “give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure would’ve pulled you under“, is sadly largely missed because the visuals get really wacky and colorful and over the top at that point, and there’s so much to look at the most important line gets muffled.

[@Ash-jb2eb]

That could be the point, her family look at her and they don’t have to think about it, so they give us so much to look at that if you’re not paying attention, you wouldn’t notice what she’s saying.

[@jayjaylotay200]

Thisss!

[@cutiepie120048]

I know - it's SUCH a great line!!!

[@navarian4579]

I actually dont feel like it is missed at all. Anyone who has experienced the need to be strong, to carry the family in some way, who can relate to this song will have felt those words intensely, because they have wondered over and over if anyone has ever considered if others would have had the strength to stand what they do, to keep going, when they themselves have felt like they were going to break but had to suck it up and keep going despite falling apart on the inside. Just hoping someone could see them, someone could allow them to be vulnerable for once

[@milo_thatch_incarnate]

@@navarian4579 I love this perspective! I certainly _hope_ that everyone actually pays attention to that line, both so that those who have experienced it can feel heard, AND so that those who haven't understand! I only said it seems like it's not paid the attention it deserves because I've watched a _bunch_ of reaction videos to this song at this point, and every one of them was just vibin along with the beat and laughing at the donkeys, and kind of missed that line.

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

All the songs in this movie were written by your boy Lin-Manuel Miranda, so yes, you need to react to them all and watch the movie! I suggest reacting to The Family Madrigal next because it explains why she's super strong. The family members each have a magical power.

[@saint2600]

"your boy" pfp checks out

[@Billy01113]

Lin is one of the greatest contemporary musical writer, in my opinion. You should watch and react to the movie. It is mostly music anyway 😆

[@crissamanahan]

@@Billy01113 I truly agree! He has such a graceful taste in music

[@RoseForEverafter]

She’s super strong because that everyone in their family has magical gifts-except for Mirabel, the girl with glasses. And a lot of the plot of the movie is her kind of realizing that Luisa and the others in the family who have always seemed to have things easy and be accepted are secretly suffering too and feel like their gifts have defined who they are and the expectations people have for them.

[@evalevy2909]

She's the only one who ever got to be normal. That's why she things others are missing in lost in their own heads

[@beanieboogie9526]

I love how every reaction to this song has the same "Oooo!" at the 'dripdripdrip' part. its such a well liked part.

[@melaninqueen7211]

Yessss because that switch is so 🔥🔥

[@amarvy7566]

6:48 Wow I didn’t realize the symbolism until you said it. Older siblings have to bear the weight of responsibility at home and in this literal case, Luisa was carrying/juggling the Madrigal home. Great reaction. This is probably the 100th time I’ve listened to the song and I still feel all the feels behind the message

[@shiori124]

What I love about this movie is that's its a movie about dealing with generational trauma in families that we actually see a lot and don't talk about. Every song I feel like hits a nail on the head of what goes on in families like that. Helps that that the songs are fire 🥰

[@s.n.11]

Also mom or dad or the person who is overloaded with work and has to deal with the stress and the anxiety. She has “no breaks”… it has two meanings. She can’t have a break and she neither can’t break herself because she feels “something is gonna hurt us” if she does. People can have this feeling even at work.

[@lintonharvey560]

After this song I want 2 things for Luisa. 1: That she requests some much needed mental health leave from Encanto and 2: She requests a trade to the MCU wing of Disney to confirm my sneaking suspicion that she's worthy of lifting Mjolnir.

[@SuperNovaKat64]

Thank you. You made me tear up with your shout out to the older sisters. When I was a kid I was the oldest out of all the kids (Me, my sister and six cousins) and so I often watched all of them.

[@QofyReacts]

Such a huge burden! Hope it didn't have a huge toll

[@eddiern]

The entire movie is about the effects of generational trauma. It's amazing and incredibly healing.

[@brigidj934]

it's really nice to see a reaction video where a youtuber actually emphasizes and goes back and replays the parts that stick out to them instead of just going "oh that's neat" and continuing. Feels way more real, thanks for sharing!!

[@QofyReacts]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@FreedomFighter2112]

@@QofyReacts All the lyrics for Encanto's 8 songs were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda…creator and writer of Hamilton the Musical and In The Heights musical / movie and the music was composed by Germaine Franco, an award-winning Mexican-American composer

[@gribthor]

The ship had madrigal on the side, which is their family name. Comparing their family to a ship that won't adjust its course even from a giant iceberg that they know is there because they just expect her to take care of them, and then at the end she's basically showing that she's shouldering all of Encanto (the area in which they live).

[@Meraxes6]

This makes me appreciate how my mom tried not to put pressure on me as the oldest sister. She was the oldest of seven kids and I know she hated feeling that pressure herself. She broke down once and told me she hated when people said how strong she was, trying to compliment her, she didn’t want to always have to be the strong one.

[@kimv9573]

Been watching a bunch of disappointing scripted reacts videos to this song. In contrast, your reaction is so genuine and such a joy to watch!

[@QofyReacts]

I appreciate you

[@stephaniejohnson229]

As someone with a lot of family trauma, this film made me realise I still needed therapy. This song in particular has me bawling as he oldest sibling. It's so accurate to how it is for some of us. Thank you for reacting to this ♥

[@Drake844221]

100% worth watching the full movie. It is really awesome, and the music is just amazing in it. Linn Manuel Miranda did an amazing job with it.

[@lintonharvey560]

When I first saw Encanto my favorite song was the Bruno one because it's such a joy to listen to. But this song fed my soul from the place that feels like my family's Luisa at times.

[@bdd9151]

This is the best reaction I’ve seen of this so far. You really dissect the lyrics and give your reflection on how deep the meaning of the song is. I think thats why its so popular aside from it being so catchy a lot of people can relate to it. 🙌🏻

[@QofyReacts]

Wow Im honoured

[@Alliecatastrophe]

eldest sisters really do become second siblings and always have to be strong that allows the younger siblings to be more free, this song really hits

[@FreedomFighter2112]

Luisa esta inspirada en la atleta Maria isabel urrutia la primera mujer que gano una medalla para mi pais Colombia, ella fue atleta de levantamiento de pesas por eso ella es fuerte..

[@QofyReacts]

Thats awesome

[@caribbeanman3379]

Colombia en la casa!

[@mangamegbe]

You absolutely need to watch this movie. The writing and music are brilliant.

[@QofyReacts]

Will do

[@Karen-Campos]

QoFy! ALL 8 songs were written by Lin Manuel Miranda! Of course you gotta listen to them & see the movie! Excellent character development with the brilliant lyrics & songs moving the plot forward! Lin’s masterful signature technique of overlapping songs shows up in “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” & that’s probably why it was #1 trending on YT music for so long! Enjoy the ride!

[@maureenseel118]

My two eldest sisters raised me and my little sister (two youngest of six kids) because my mom had mental health and addiction issues. This song makes me think of how they held it together for us and it makes me ache inside.

[@yepix100]

This is the kind of reaction I was looking for! I loved your insights on the song. I really enjoyed the video 😀

[@QofyReacts]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@jennims2885]

Bruh, the whole soundtrack of Encanto is magnificent, you should check all the songs out I'm sure you'll love them ^-^

[@Katie-tc1fz]

As an older sister this song made me cry I can't lie it's really relatable

[@craffaele]

Oh man u teared me up with your shout out to the sisters, I got an older sister too who had to take care of my punk ass lol bless them

[@johnathanrichmond7050]

Now now Qofy now you gotta react to the rest of songs , We dont talk about bruno, waiting on a miracle,etc

[@QofyReacts]

Will be checking them out!

[@Wildflower687]

One of those older sisters right here and I’ll tell you, this song is such a breath of fresh air. We deserve a princess who represents us.

[@erjohnrenon9682]

Again!!! I can't believe you notices again how good that transition was. Kudos to you

[@DarkLadyPhoenix]

Now you gotta do the others! Start with Family Madrigal then go to We Don't Talk About Bruno. It's been topping youtube for weeks! Also, yes go see the movie. Whole thing. You won't regret it. Not a single second is time wasted.

[@QofyReacts]

Stay tuned for all of them!

[@peachykeen53]

Appreciate reactions that analyze the lyrics as well as the music. Great video!

[@shandagibbs2192]

The movie was awesome and so is every song. Takes you through so many emotions. But it was beautifully done. I love Disney

[@edbardof7941]

This song makes me cry every single time.

[@GaijinGuy36]

As an oldest child, the first time I heard this song, the line "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service" hit like a truck. It's like that for some kids.

[@egroupleadlynne1420]

I love this; though the movie came out in 2021, my 2 sons and I watched it recently. Single Mom/Widow, rearing these 2 young men. Pressure like the Drip, Drip, Drip that will never stop! As big as the character seems, this song shows her fragile side sung with STRENGTH and POWER. Lovin your smile and take on each reaction video. Yes, you should watch Encanto. Keep on smiling and sharing your reactions.

[@egroupleadlynne1420]

Most of the responses are from 3 months ago, at that time, I had yet to watch the movie. Being into VoicePlay, "We Don't Talk About Bruno" led me to Encanto, and I am so glad it did. Lots of life, lots of emotion. Thanks, @QoFy ,for reacting! In the comments, I had not realized that the ship represented the family, but who can miss her strength!?! "Who am I, if I can't run with the bulls?"

[@Cody.the.wizard]

She has bars

[@QofyReacts]

She does

[@rosedouglas9586]

I saw the movie with my granddaughter at Christmas. I can't wait to see it again. After you react to all the songs, I hope we watch it with the Patreons movie night. I'll be looking forward more reactions. I relate to this character the most. Being a strong giant girl who carried the weight of her family. Thank you for diving into this one! I think my favorite song is "we don't talk about Bruno" I think everyone has a family member like Bruno, the one nobody wants to acknowledge.

[@severigne_m7652]

2:09 "This is gonna be an empowerment video" Me: hahaha * *sobs* *

[@SassafrasTee7366]

Fun fact: when it comes to the two sisters Isabel( flower girl) and Luisa, Luisa sells more dolls than Isabella because people relate is Luisa more.

[@stacydestiny]

That was an amazing expression....admiring the wonderfull song..

[@elodielonglaikune5928]

this song and "We Don't Talk About Bruno" are my favorites from the movie. I really love Encanto ❤I can relate to the characters soooo much 😆 not gonna lie but I cried watching some scenes of the movie

[@charliebear154]

I love when people get to the first ‘pressure like a drip drip drip’ part and just go 😧😧😵

[@QofyReacts]

Its so cool

[@user-zy4mv8hk1e]

Wow thank you so much best reaction!

[@ismaelrodriguez5550]

Encanto is inspired by the clothes, the food, the fauna and landscapes in Colombia South America and the magical culture of Colombia. I really liked your reaction

[@QofyReacts]

So cool!

[@hcroussette]

The Encanto soundtrack is currently #1 on Billboard and the song We Don't Talk About Bruno is the highest trending on KZbin. If you want to react to it, I suggest you react first to the song The Family Madrigal (the 1st song of the movie) because it introduces all the characters and it will then be easier for you to understand We Don't Talk About Bruno, which is an ensemble song. This is the order of the songs: - The Family Madrigal - Waiting on a Miracle - Surface Pressure - We Don't Talk About Bruno - What Else Can I Do? - Dos Orguitas - All of You - Colombia, Mi Encanto

[@casualartistry4193]

As the older sibling, the pressure is felt, the shoutout was needed

[@arashinamedo]

Fiquei viciada nas músicas desse filme, e viciada em assisti reações a elas, vi mais de 20 e de longe as suas reações são as melhores até agora, parabéns pelo trabalho, vi todas suas reações sobre esse filme maravilhoso e já me inscrevi no canal. ❤️

[@QofyReacts]

Obrigado

[@karenbitzer3505]

Yassss, this is my favorite song out of all the songs, but the whole movie is so good! I was so surprised honestly cause the promotion for it was only so so in my opinion, but after watching it, I cried. Even this one song makes me cry cause I can empathize so much with her struggle!

[@tersommers]

Absolutely loved your reaction to this! This movie is amazing in so many ways! So glad you appreciated and understood the concept! I think you would really love this movie! Check out all the songs and the whole movie when you get a chance! Thank you for this reaction! I've been MIA so much lately, been missing your reactions!

[@QofyReacts]

Miss you too Sommers! Can't wait to check them out!

[@aerocarnie]

I agree with other commenters who said this is better than most reaction videos because your comments have substance and your breakdown of the themes at the end of the video was insightful and succinct. I'm glad you decided to create and share this video!

[@RandumbComNtary6251]

At 6:05 does anyone else get a superhero sacrifice vibefrom this scene? Like it's framed like she's protecting her sister from the falling debris, but she can only be strong for so long. I know that's the point of the song, but that scene really gives me heroic sacrifice vibes

[@agamermom0014]

I was the oldest "parentified" child, but not because my parents put that on me. I've adored my younger brother from the time he was born and never wanted to leave him behind. I also convinced my parents to let me "babysit" him for about an hour and a half each day after school because I wanted him all to myself. We're both upper 30s now and he's still my best friend, my biggest fan and supporter, and I hope he feels I'm the same for him. But I admit, that even having chose that... it's a TON of pressure. I was also a heavy perfectionist as a kid so I understand Isa's pressure too.

[@user-jo2gl2ti1y]

Someone must to say how Luisa cares about Mirabel during whole song

[@trishhastings7027]

She was a family member who got that gift. Go watch the full movie and you’ll see

[@JBGargamel]

Men feel this way quite often, especially family men over 35. It takes a female character to point it out, and I'm glad for that.

[@QofyReacts]

Because mens' complaints are ridiculed and demonized

[@gurglequeen433]

"This is definitely an empowerment video." Song: I'm about to end this mans whole career.

[@evalevy2909]

Please note the dramatic donkeys. I feel like the donkeys keep not getting their due

[@cityzengirl]

Aw what fun! This song is a masterpiece.

[@susanhuffstutler9576]

LIN MANUEL MIRANDA......genius.

[@captianmorgan7627]

If you enjoy these songs the ones in Moana are also good, and also partially written by Lin-Manuel Miranda who wrote these songs.

[@mistervstudios4239]

At the end of the song Deadpool: I know, right? Who's got the guts to write that? I can't tell you, but it does rhyme with Gin Shamwell Gorandus

[@carpe5432]

I am here purely accidental. But I am glad I clicked to watch. Your reaction is great for this song. Thank you, I enjoyed it !

[@QofyReacts]

I appreciate it

[@Video-ox8uf]

As the oldest I appreciate the shout out. It is a lot of weight and responsibility.

[@QofyReacts]

You deserve the shoutout

[@QofyReacts]

You are so welcome

[@Cantmakeupmymindonaname]

This is my favorite song in the movie, I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as i All the songs are amazing, but i didn't care much for the main story of the movie. I would recommend to watch just to understand her pain alittle more

[@lolahernandez6871]

The fact that the creators had to FIGHT to have Luisa have big muscles and look that way is horrible and inspiring at the same time. I'm happy they did it. She still looks feminine.

[@ameliaEscobedo]

[@Aubz47]

Not gonna lie, I could listen to your voice all day. 😂

[@janellejohnson4934]

[@greygremlin1248]

Ive seen a lot of covers of this song. I hope some Marvel fan dose a parody if The Thing with this GIVE TO THE THING CAUSE CAUSE IT DOESN'T HURT HIM SEE IF CAN CLOBBER EVERY WORLDLY BURDEN WATCH HAS BUCKLES BUT NEVER BREAKS. NO MISTAKES

[@TheIronEagle]

This made me break into tears watching this. It made me realize the amount of pressure I have on myself and I just popped a little. I need help sometimes

[@edward910426]

I hope you really enjoy the movie thanks for reacting

[@Dare2Daydream]

You really ought to watch the entire movie as well as react to the other songs. I would warn you you might want to save "Dos Oruguitas" and "All of You" for last. They are two of the final major songs of the movie. You definitely don't want to watch them before the others because it will spoil earlier songs.

[@mysteryperson5535]

Hope you watched this movie by now. It was amazing and all the songs are incredible💖

[@donaconda5369]

amazing thats all that needs be said

[@mettemp3678]

Its crazy thats its not always the older sisters... its sometimes the youngest... (the parents "last chance to get it right")

[@QofyReacts]

Agreed

[@dunningkrugerfxs5848]

Agreed, depends largely on culture. For me, the second son (me) is the "spare". We always go into the military or some other service (firefighter, cop ect) and we always settle disputes for the family. And no matter how perfect we are, we are second class citizens in our own family. Actually got into a number of verbal and physical altercations in my life to keep the rest of my siblings records/reputation spotless.
