[@MissBrittneyofCourse]

The thing about that one part in Tempo killed me for a solid year, but now I can't imagine it being sung any other way. I know SM runs like a vocal boot camp so I believe it was 100% intentional but I get it sis!

[@justchill.408]

i have to agree that it's probably intentional because in some other songs of sm groups i notice that there are also some parts of their songs, with either the vocals or the arrangement of music, sounding off

[@alymayjunejuly]

I think that note sounding weird might be because Baekhyun is super chesty hitting that G, while Suho is kinda head dominant hitting the F right after. As far as i can tell it's in tune, so it might just be the timbre of their voices clashing

[@Koko3op]

I agree!

[@NayedaBrat]

It’s actually Chen singing the second note and I always forget his name but he’s right when it came to Chens vibrato it’s really strong but I respect both opinions

[@jojostoenail2162]

I one hundred percent believe Chen is spot on with that note cause he does do two notes like you guys replicated it as. I think it’s just the timbre

[@theexopolice3739]

I think it’s nearly impossible for them to not have notice it, I think they probably just let it go for whatever reason. I’ve heard more “I can’t believe” today than I have over the past year🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Koko3op]

Hahdhshshshdhahhshshshsh SAME

[@iryna5817]

I appreciate all of her reactions, even the little critique because it's how you know she's being honest and so it makes her appreciation for exo so heartfelt and all of the praises much more valuable. Having said that, I'm dying to see her reaction to the exordium performance of MAMA Monster and Wolf remix, please....I'm begging you

[@jonaworldwide4527]

When someone UNKNOWN criticizes someone who has been training since 2006 and been in the industry for 10 years.. And obviously this song has been heard so many times by the EXO members, the producer, composers, before they have released it. They can easily edit it out if there was really an issue. Suho has a very light tone with a very large vibratos touching 2 notes evidently, which may sound OFF for those untrained ears. The note is also considered a Dissonant Melody that’s why those who listens to it for the first time would feel that SUHO is off. As suggestion: First the producer should invite reactors who are classically trained or at least mastered voice education. 2nd the producer should provide good quality earphone if the reactor would be nitpicking and be critical with every note. At least she enjoyed it. Good for her.

[@leviiman2602]

Wolf remix ❤️

[@silverbone8883]

Yes please!!!

[@MamaEksohel]

@@jonaworldwide4527 thank you. Well said

[@OscarEstiller]

The melody that you feel like it's “off”.. It is because of the nature of the song having acapella wherein they have used “CHROMATICISM” or notes that don’t belong to the key. “DISSONANT MELODIES” are also evident. And you need to have a good ear to appreciate the functionality of these tones.

[@Crescentmoon0701]

THANK YOU!

[@lxndr.]

@@jonaworldwide4527 I do agree with the headphones. It’s just way better like that even if the laptop has nice speakers. Though I don’t mind her saying it is off though, that is her opinion

[@justkvideos3903]

Ex'Actly ! Thank you !

[@PolaroidGuppy]

I love Elliotte's reactions. 1) Ell testing the bed spring tempo *kilt me dead* Yaaaaaaaaas girl 2) She was gonna throw hands over that note, I'm so here for that!! 3) Ell's nerd comes thru and it makes me giddy. 4) Her restarting Obsession. . . same ma, same

[@kelr.94]

Haha I always love watching her reactions! She’s honest and opinionated (which I think is a good thing). I am fine with the note in tempo and always have been. Like I didn’t need to get used to it because it always felt intentional to me. I’m not 100% sure because I don’t have trained ears but isn’t the way he sang it the same in the Chinese version and lives? Maybe just a stylistic choice so it makes sense that not everyone is gonna like it. Glad she didn’t just keep her thoughts to herself!

[@emillyroberts1908]

In tempo it's not bright enough at that note, bcs "that's the point". SM always use that minor and major in one song at the same time, so sometimes a bright song can also have sad and off tune, and vice versa. You can check it on nct and RedVelvet songs they had a lot some kind of off tunes but it's actually not. Bcs that's the point of making "it" song. I mean in making a unique music, SM sometimes disobeying music rules that making weird and off tune, to make it uniqe. But I appreciated her to had her own opinion about that note, and I watched Tokyo Ghouls and their fashion here is also remind me of them, especially Shu the gourmet ghoul out fit 😂

[@tatyanicktheone7387]

As an EXO-L to a fellow-EXO-L: thank you for making new EXO reactions, it warms my heart! About that note: I totally get what she's saying, but I do believe it was done on purpose because that piece should have more desperate-plead-like vibe. The brighter note would have made it sound more upbeat, which that particular part of the song isn't, at least for me, I always hear it as a longing plead 😉. In literature it works too, as in any art: break the norm and it will make a stylistic effect and become memorable. So I take it that way with Tempo 🤗

[@cheferisxoxo2827]

I love hearing opinion's from other professionals. I never really noticed suho's part since I don't sing lol but when it comes to Kpop artists in always particular with vocals. And EXO definitely has them. Other groups don't excite me that much. But now I understand what you guys mean. Tempo is indeed one of the most difficult Kpop song out there. But only EXO can pull it off.

[@Lifebubble167]

That ~ i can't believe~ is purposefully that way. It adds much more to that part But anyway I'm laughing so hard right now 🤣

[@Lillianeee]

I'm not a singer so suho's "I can't believe" sounded very beautiful and... melodic? to me. Love obsession is pure eye candy

[@thekpopshorts3715]

The intention with that particular note was eminent. This is a producer decision to make that note "THAT Note". It coincides with the instrumentation.

[@nicoleontiveros606]

I love how you noticed the key was a bit off. I like it in particular because I'm a fan of dissonant melodies ever since I learned how to play Gymnopedie. I think it adds a different type of color to the music and expresses sincere emotion.

[@EXO-L-ls8qj]

I don't remember how I felt about Suho's note for the "I can't believe" the first time I heard it. It might have felt jarring to me, I know that part of the song has always stood out to me. And it does so in a good way. Maybe I got used to it. I do know that SM tends to be experimental with things, and they are pretty big company to have let a flat note go to production if it wasn't intended to be there. So if he did sing it flat, they liked it and decided to keep it, or that was always the way it was supposed to be sung. I couldn't imagine the song any other way, but I can respect that she feels it is off. I mean, it stood out to me for a reason, now I know what that reason is.

[@xing_xoxo6205]

I respect her opinion. But For suho's i can't believe, he is not singing the melody tho, it's the 2nd voice... like when a group sings and one person sings after the other, the notes don't have to be the same. That is my pov too.. as someone who sings in choir or group, often u get an "off note" but its actually intentional.

[@resurgingflame]

Yeah it's a different melody

[@kaul4854]

And I have always loved that note of his, I feel that he brought that roundness n softness to that melody already gng on and do u think a producer will keep an off-note in the final product

[@pleezahful]

I love love off notes. I also grew up around and in Acapella groups as well and loved when I got to sing those parts

[@peachkji2546]

LMAOOO both of you got me laughing throughout this reaction! I really enjoyed watching this! Exo has an amazing discography.

[@kaul4854]

Omg I always loved that note of his idk why

[@randezvous95]

In Suho's "lieve" in believe I keep hearing just one note while she's hearing a second note that she hears is flat... kinda interesting how we all listen to music ngl

[@justkvideos3903]

Ok I watched it, and he clearly did what she did but it sounded very subtle coz D.O sings right after that...... And the fact that she said they missed it is hilarious coz if she claims to have noticed it is wrong then EXO themselves and the producers would never release it like that....... We all know they record separately so when Suho sung it it's pretty clear of you listen carefully, he completed the note but when you hear them all together his ending note becomes a bgm and D.O's part comes on..... He totally bridged it well and helped in blending Baek's and D.O's together..... So the blending was intentional, he wasn't off, he bridged it.....

[@remixedv]

She wants her EXO brightness. 😂See... this is what happens when a group is perfection, the standards are high. That Tempo note is on the producer, the final call. Obsession is still a problem... The only way to top that MV is for everyone to be topless next comeback. Gotta speak these things into existence from now... 🙏

[@Itsme_1200]

During the DMUMT bridge, it's always sung that way, so it's intentionally that note.

[@kledi3817]

the note being „off“ always felt like it was intentional to me. like how SM experiments a lot with dissonance to give the song a bit of a mysterious or different vibe. maybe i’m just insane

[@myaleigh149]

I love when she's on your channel, and hearing your soulful laughter in the background ❤️

[@Koko3op]

Awww thank you

[@tatyanicktheone7387]

Seeing her reaction to Obsession, I realized that only two things give me goosebumps - kissing my husband and EXO singing, EVERY time, no fail 😂. Thank you for the outro! The best day for an eri-gom to see his most iconic looks after EXO's most iconic songs! You made my day! ❤️

[@exosellie]

Belive me Suho can pull that note off, so I do think they did it on purpose on the album. Don't mess up my tempo ♡ Yeah EXO is live on another level ♡

[@exos1bnetworth]

I respect her opinion but compared to the countless amount of other vocal coaches & professionals who have reacted to the mv and critiqued other things never seen anyone mention his line being off before which ig is a new perspective to it

[@Koko3op]

Tbh she didn’t have an issue with the harmonies, just Suho’s singular line which other reactors would probably be too scared to question. I personally don’t mind the note as you can tell in the video lool but everyone’s ears are different I guess.

[@exos1bnetworth]

@@Koko3op oh i see my bad! yea some may not want to mention in but personally have never seen anyone mention suho's line being off before so it was odd but yes everyone has a different ear so that's why she caught on to it ig? But it is her opinion after all

[@rfmmike6096]

She was just talking about that one note. And even if other vocal coaches felt a way about the note, it's very likely they'd be scared to speak on it knowing the type of comments they'd get. Pretty rare to actually see someone point out what they think is a mistake vocally

[@exos1bnetworth]

@@rfmmike6096 actually i have watched countless of exo reaction videos from vocal coaches etc. and they have picked at other parts of the song and critiqued what could've been done better vocally before just never seen anyone mention the note in that specific line was off before but everyone hears music differently

[@fannann6795]

I love how she's stating her opinion.. that's what reaction should be..well a good fan should be as well. It's either they purposely did that note (to match with the 'don't mess up my tempo' if you get what I mean) you know, when sm being sm. or maybe she's right, the note a little bit off but never mind. I like how she's being true about the review instead mostly fake or exaggerating good comment. I dislike that. I watch reaction to listen to the review.

[@exosellie]

The "No, I won't get away from you, sorry" at the end of Obsession is so every EXO-L's reaction XD

[@exol4ever900]

This songs in my top list exo song...thank you for this honest reaction...tempo is my representative in terms on vocal flexing but obsession in terms of visual and production I love this mv...and tempi release I think 2018 and obsession is 2019

[@moxiesoxie9374]

I second the explicit thoughts. She’s got good taste. 😘

[@kbuckie]

You gotta give her Chen’s solo work now. She’s already hyped about his high notes. His voice is way too pretty to not share with someone who appreciates EXO this authentically.

[@mrpoohbobby1069]

Tempo and Obsession at the same time? These two are the most most most masterpiece! I love both songs !

[@katiarhdz]

I will go to my grave defending Suho's note, that part especially has always stood out for me in the best way, that combination is very common in acapella singing (I'm also a singer and live in a family of singers)

[@yosteheran]

Yes, she is my favorite 😍

[@heb7970]

I find it hard to believe that SM would leave in a vocal that didn’t suit their standards, but now I can’t unhear the “off” note lol, never noticed it before!

[@sreeyadevarakonda6251]

exactly this. yep.

[@maxangel6]

Love EXO!

[@mesozn6283]

Ah the song with the best bridge in the whole kpop industry

[@m.9607]

her reaction to suhos part in the bridge is so funny😭

[@drisshansfreetime453]

“They didn’t catch it” NAHHHHHH. That’s a reach. This is EXO we are talking about. Lols. Have you seen SM artists’ BTS recordings? How meticulous they are? And also, classical musicians already reacted to this years ago, and they also “didn’t catch it?”

[@trackballsteam_10]

FINALLYYYYY I've been waiting for this, I love her and I also love she expressed her honest thought about what she sees and hears ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@suheaux]

My opinion: I thought Suho's part was intentional to have D.O. come in comfortably. He's the "medium" between Baekhyun and D.O. It works.

[@StyxDipped]

Her reactions are honestly my favourite. She’s so fun and so honest and you can tell how much she loves music just from watching.

[@AshleyG24601fan]

You're 100% right about Suho's note. It always sounded off. That being said, SM Entertainment is known for their experimental stuff so I always just assumed the off version was on purpose. They love dissonant notes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Loved the reaction!!

[@cassandra6441]

Bahaha! Omg i love elliotte reacting to EXO. She's awesome.

[@pepebyun8763]

I really like her reaction and would never miss it

[@MrsNiaboo2000]

Love her energy and style. She delivers her thoughts in a friendly and positive manner, regardless of said thought. Great reactor with beautiful vibes.

[@wekselbaum]

I feel like Suho's note is the way it is because of D.O.'s part right after. D.O. like....slides into his note so Suho's lines up with that. Maybe I've just heard the original too much and my ears are used to it but when she made her correction her version sounded very off to me.

[@Yoru15127]

This lady is the first person I have ever seen commenting on an EXO Mv and calling it "Kinky" the absolute first.😱😂😊

[@___Mimi___]

Great reaction! Knew she'd love this one! 💚🌱

[@20_Van_20]

that fixation on that ONE note is,,, pretty relatable ngl

[@realtalk13]

omg I feel SEEN. I love Tempo but Suho's final note on the second "I can't believe" has ALWAYS felt off to me. It's trying to be a third under Baekhyun's but it's just like.....slightly off. Idk I'm not classical trained, but I've always had a good ear and that has been my one issue with that song lol. Great vid!

[@Koko3op]

There you go!!

[@resurgingflame]

There's legit nothing wrong with it.

[@OscarEstiller]

[@Lifebubble167]

It was so obvious that note was purposefully that way to add much more. Every part of song goes through examination for so many times , i doubt that was the case

[@K0ko53]

@@wildoranges Although you're right, it's obviously intentional of Suho and the producer to do that, there's nothing wrong at all for me. It sounds good af and Suho is always the backbone of EXO vocals alongside D.O, they know what they are doing, it wasn't a mistake for sure lol

[@nargesmsv9999]

These 2 songs are gems but underrated so I appreciate you made her listen to them Thx for the reaction

[@SustaJeno]

​ @Koko3op but how about the producers themselves, i can question reactor's opinions. But i wouldn't question the producers and the composers of the song. I highly doubt they wouldn't catch that as off and just went with it. It is the way it is because it is the way it's meant to be.

[@Ellie-qs3mn]

Elliotte's reaction to Obsession is so relatable omg! Also re-listening knowing it's a Dem Jointz song is a whole new world, I love his stuff

[@Hoid.]

"You just made me come closERRR" 😂😂 It's so satisfying to hear an honest knowledgeable girl who genuinely enjoys kpop

[@beatrizmendes8431]

But the Tokyo Ghoul with "fight with their inner self" and the fashion made so much sense now that I'm thinking about😳

[@l.c.6282]

I’ve always wondered if singers who hear these notes or wrong notes, enjoy music more or less then someone with an untrained ear like me.

[@dangerousplace5385]

Please react "Every Other" by Rumble-G (new girl group). ❣️ In that song, you can see confident, self love and energy. Rumble-G is composed of three girls and debuted under the new entertainment. This is their second song. Members: Di Di - main vocalist, main rapper (first Burmese idol) Gayun - main dancer (Korean) Bareum - main vocalist (Korean)

id love for elliotte to react to shinee 😭❤️

[@sweney2009]

Oh, My... guys, you finally noticed the wonderful voice of EXO Leader, SUHO!! The first note (in the chorus) in: "I CAN'T BELIEVE..." is from BAEKHYUN, the second: "I CAN'T BELIEVE..." is from SUHO and the third: "I CAN'T BELIEVE..." is from D.O. Thanks so much and best regards!! Here you can appreciate more the vocal distribution by each member of EXO in the song TEMPO: minute 03:24 EXO's SUHO kzbin.info/www/bejne/ime2h4p9fsunaLs

[@xing_xoxo6205]

But also on 2nd thought, I cross checked it with the chinese version of tempo which u can check it too. Suho sang it in the note she is referring too. So not sure if they intentionally let the song play as such.

[@wesxvin]

the way she took me OUT feeling the bed squeak tempo lmaoooo I'm not saying much but yeah, that's that on that

[@SanjiKicks]

She mentioned Tokyo Ghoul. Daniel's Paranoia MV is inspired in that anime, she should watch it.

[@daniviggiano]

I absolutely love her reactions!😊

[@moyonghae4074]

exo should be reacted to by only the most critical reactors anyway their music can stand the critique so nitpick away and don't be sorry about it. That's what makes your reactions so fun and watchable.

[@mimiandy1683]

That's true. But then, they'll be bothered by some stans, which is a shame.

[@academicestablishments-per9339]

I really like her comments and reactions, about that note I think it feels like slightly off because Beak's vocals are so powerful right next to Suho..we cannot forget that this is a studio recording, if it was sang out of the pitch, the music producers could easily drag it o the relevant note..and Suho was 13 years(as at 2018) trained singer, there is little chance of him getting a note incorrect in a studio recording..Idk..its just the ear.

[@ellalagman1732]

She’s into ANIME 😍❤️

[@mcrygbrllmsngy]

and I'm excited to watch this! I just had to..before answering my module. hhh

[@nargesmsv9999]

3:29 THIS!👌🏻

[@intokhairro3497]

I respect her opinion but to be honest Suho vocal tone is one of a kind that when you're not familiar to it for you it seems off but it's not. How many years now I've been here on youtibe watching evedy pro reactors and this is the first time hearing this opinion that Suho vocals in part of "i can't believe" was flat or off. And there's pro reactors saying that Suho vocals are unique or there's something with his vocals same with Shinee Onew. So maybe this is why she's saying Suho is off coz she's not used to his vocals or tone.

[@amanilache]

I think she would enjoy the live version of the Eve as well

[@exosellie]

The only thing better than an EXO album, is EXO live ♡

[@StartTheAlpha12]

Have you ever shown her Crush or DEAN? I think she may like those artist since she really loves vocals

[@Flange091]

either way the song and the singing is still up to par even if a note is slightly under what its meant to be if it sounds good dont mess with the tempo or the sound :-)
