STRAY KIDS 'MANIAC' MV | First Time Reaction | Lyric Video & MV

[@bre97m]

regarding ur mention of not seeing a lot from chan, he's said multiple times he prefers not to shine and would rather the other members get the spotlight but he does tend to do a lot of adlibs and harmonies so his actual line distribution is quite high when those are counted

[@DafLunaEclipse]

Love how you get so absorbed. For this music video Han was actually sick during one of the shooting days, so the scenes where they are dancing on the street, he isn't there.

[@RedheadReacts]

Oh interesting... I'll have to pay attention to those scenes the next time I watch it

[@DafLunaEclipse]

Ya, I had no idea until I watched the making of video. Then I watched it again and was like 'oh ya, there are only 7 in the scene. How did I miss that'.

[@MemphisJagsfan]

Piggybacking on your noticing of Han going from rap to singing flawlessly, I'm excited for you to watch more of their mvs and after a while getting to their Kingdom performances. Han, Felix, and Seungmin opened a lot of eyes to non-Stays with their performances.

"Again, back to cosplaying as what society Defines normal to be" and "Prototype, on the inside I’m always a freaky monster" are my favourite lyrics! 3racha did an amazing job like always

[@all4605]

As a Lee knower i agreee...

[@bumblebearri]

you dont see new stays appreciating lee know's vocals so I'm rlly happy you like his voice! and yes his voice suits like a rock vibe so much if you wanna hear him sing in that way more i recommend checking out chronosauras and awaken! but he can also have a really soft thin voice like in levanter surfin' and mixtape oh (chan has said that whenever lee know enters the recording studio he can relax because no matter what instructions chan gives him lee know always pulls through in unexpected ways!) love your reactions and your commentary keep it up!

You should also watch the Studio Choom performance of Maniac. It's in 4K and so good. Just FYI for any of the promo performances and dance practice, Felix was injured so he'll come in to do his parts and some of the stand up choreo but he go off to the side for the more involved choreo. He's better now but it was sad he could be completely involved in the live performances. Really enjoying your reactions!

[@Selande3]

WOO ! When you said you had to look up to see who was rapping when it was Felix and as you talked, I said at the same time you did "non-deep voice." The fact we thought alike on that made me giggle. :)

I apologise in advance for the extremely lengthy comment! I’m an ODDINARY stay so I’m basically just sharing info I wish I knew before my deep dive! I know you still have a little while to go (aka ur ODDINARY reactions) until you go back and do all their MV’s but in just in case I thought I’d link some chronological playlists and share some notes incase it’d help :) Some Random Notes first: - All videos up until DISTRICT 9 are pre-debut. Hellevator, one of these, was made on the survival show. - I know you know from the guides but since so many of their songs have incredible lyrics I just wanted to stress that they write all of their songs, including pre debut releases. - Some SKZ-players (namely Streetlight & Close) and the Japanese releases do not have subs. Especially for streetlight I recommend the colour coded lyric video rather than fan edited versions with captions or GENIUS translations as SKZ often write with wordplay & metaphors that can be hard to translate. - I can’t remember if the guides that you watched mentioned this or not, but up until their tt ‘Levanter’, SKZ was a 9 member group. The member that left was their main vocal meaning you’ll see/hear him quite a bit. - Almost all of the songs featuring the 9th member have been re-recorded and rereleased on music streaming platforms in SKZ-2020 & SKZ-2021 however obviously the MV’s are the original songs. - Unlike other MV’s the videos for the unit tracks (Surfin’, Gone Away & Red Lights) where the boys’ ideas! They have a series on their YT showing them coming up with the ideas for the songs in their respective units called ‘Howl in Harmony’! Here’s the playlist from the official SKZ YT channel. It has all the official MV’s: kzbin.info/aero/PL2HLJ87twWI3H5CwvG_xTOiHJ-muq8vrq Here’s a fan made playlist that has MV’s but also trailers, prologues, teasers (which obz aren’t relevant to you), and SKZ-players (unofficial songs with MVs that they make and only release on their YT channel): kzbin.info/aero/PLkOfGnFL2aWbc9GJGMzPu84zXhd7cwwM4 Idk any playlists that include SKZ-records (like SKZ-players except with no MV’s, including some covers). Personally I think some of their best songs don’t have MV’s haha. If you’re someone who watches MVs and cares about storylines, here’s some more notes lol: - There is one major storyline throughout their title tracks but also some other MV’s and is just generally confusing so pls don’t worry if you don’t understand it lmao. They have a special video that came out just before God’s Menu that explains the storyline up until then called “STRAY KIDS: Prequel (Hightlight Reel)” that’s narrated by Chan and I STILL DONT GET IT! - However there’s a second unrelated storyline that’s much more basic and cute that is (‘Mixtape: On Track’ MV > ‘IN LIFE unveil track B ME’ > ‘Mixtape: OH’) but is theorised to contain other music videos. (Sorry again for such a long comment lmao.)

[@RedheadReacts]

Thank you! This was very informative!

[@Selande3]

I thank you too! I'm a baby STAY too so this was super interesting 🥰

[@chloenogaret9927]

Hey, If I remember correctly, you are going to react to the four oddinary music videos. However I was also wondering if you could react to the three other tracks: charmer(in my opinion the best song off of the album), waiting for us(one of my favorite skz vocal songs), and muddy water (a sick rap song that is like old school hip hop). Thanks!!

[@shakiujungbbo7163]

thank you for all the stray kids reactions!! excited to see more of your kpop journey and diving into more kpop groups!

[@Maryland143]

I'm sooo excited for ur Stray Kid's journey 🤩

[@hgamze]

Oh yay! My day got better now, Imma relax and watch your both videos 😌Thank you thank you

[@RedheadReacts]

That's so sweet! Thank you!

[@tao4999]

Wow! This approach for you is so fun for us! Missing out on their lyrics would be a shame, & their production is so good it is sad if not know what the song is generally about. This worked great! Thank you for going the extra mile for us to enjoy❤

[@RedheadReacts]

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

[@aurivys]

WOOO! so happy to finally see you getting to the ordinary album, please make sure to listen to even the songs without MV's on this album, I have a feeling you'll love charmer

[@sabs_1108]

Han = THE definition of an ACE 🥰💪 And I love Chan's ad lips Really enjoyed your reactions Btw. Did you saw the writing on the window in the diner:" If you want breakfast in the bad sleep in the kitchen" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RedheadReacts]

I didn't see that ☺️

[@OEquiano]

When you watch the MANIAC dance practice, please consider also watching the MANIAC Relay Dance (available here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4uwcnx-bKaXm7M) It is so much fun, highlights their personalities a bit, and I think you'd enjoy it.

[@krissie8393]

If you like the gritty rock sort of music I would suggest Xdinary heroes there debut song happy death day came out in December and they've just released there first mini album and have done some covers included Stray kids Hellevator which Bang Chan actually did a reaction to on his vlive he loved it

[@magicshooooop]

So, this might just be me, and obviously you can do whatever you want regardless of what I think, but if you are gonna do the lyric videos, as a viewer, I personally would prefer to see you do the mv first and the lyric video after, just so that the mv is the first experience you have with the song. Again, that is obviously totally your call, but that’s just my two cents

Coldplay humankind (Official video) premieres in 2 hours. please to react..
