It's a pleasure to see your reaction to XG, these girls are fire!! I was looking forward to your reaction to this group and to everglow which you already uploaded. I'm glad to know that you liked the group, in my top 5 group Asians are XG, I'm really not lying when I say they are fire, a big hug bro!!✨
Welcome to ALPHAZ. When you were about to take a sip of your drink right when Jurin was about to drop some bars on Shooting Star I was thinking, "this man bout to choke on his drink" hahaha. About the K-pop comparison, it isn't K-pop, you're correct. But I think we need to move past trying to label pop music. The girls (XG) are facing a lot of backlash in Korea for training/promoting there (a lot of this comes from comments that the CEO of AVEX said that was out of their control). They deserve to be judged on the quality of their work, not what nationality they are. They received so much hate for non-trivial things in Korea like not mentioning a Korean artists when asked what music inspired them, instead they mentioned groups like TLC, Spice Girls, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars. All artists that have influence in Pop in general. It's a shame they aren't being more celebrated just because of their nationality. They are too good to be ignored, they will be global. And with K-pop stans trying so hard to distance themselves from them, will only do more harm than good. XG is the perfect gateway to K-pop and people need to embrace that.

The first girl in chrous part of Tipoy Toes the front one girl is Jurin. She is the leader, dancer and rapper line of XG. And the second one on Mascara mv when you say "I like her" she is Harvey rapper line and dance of XG
@@rjkpop have to ask honestly… Was the beat/vibe what you were expecting? (Re: Shooting Star chorus) I felt like that’s what your reaction reminded me of … as if you were both relieved and thrilled. If not, then I’m just projecting. lol The extreme difference between the verse and the pre-chorus inspired the thought while the latter was ending. I was like, “Okay, it has to be something in between the two sounds; so… a strong beat but chill sound. And this final bit of the pre-chorus is making me think we’re going toward mid-tempo r&b…” AND THEN BAM! 😍 Spot on.
@@overthemoo It wasn’t what I expected at all actually. I didn’t expect the switch up from the initial beat, but why I loved it so much is that it stayed with that beat for so long from pre-chorus to chorus and didn’t leave me feeling like I wanted more of that melody. Totally my kind of musical taste. Happy surprise!
Simon ( their manager ) said that they choose to sing in english because english is the most used language. So its why they choose to sing only in english. Either if they can all speak korean/japanese/english 🤍🙏🔥 glad that you like our queens ! Welcome to the AlphaZ Pack my friend 🐺🤍🤘
Bro the amount of people that said the same thing about Shooting Star, that it’s SOTY... forreal, this comeback was INSANE. They are so succesful and well received, I just hope this song gets sent to America, it would smash. I hope more reactions ( dance practices, video performances on their channel, chyper, etc ) come soon! Seriously, they are regarded as some of the best, if not THE BEST girl group performers at the moment, they are just INCREDIBLE, this is a group of dancers, I can’t wait to see your reactions.
What I love about them is they don't song in English by being sensual and act cute as well, they act cute but on that time and if needed. They make songs that are strong and empowerment as well, they are like BlackPink and 2ne1 but on their own league.
I can totally see “Shooting Star” being used in TikTok videos, this upcoming graduation season because of the lyrics. This song is definitely a cute, catchy “We’ve made it!” anthem for people.
XG has done more "Queen" shit in their short ( UNDER A YEARRR ) career than most kpop groups couldnt even imagine doing in half a decade... its insane...
Small litlle guide: 4 rappers - Jurin, Maya, Harvey and Cocona 3 vocalists - Chisa, Juria (low key secretly a rapper too lol, she did the part after the chorus with the coffin scene) and Hinata 7 amazing dancers
In Japan, so I discovered them on debut day as a UA-cam ad. I was waiting for my 5-second skip and they said Ta-ta-ta-ta, and my soul melted. I will never get over Tippy Toes and I will always stan XG. I can not really pick a proper bias when every body is a double or triple threat. But I gotta give Cocona (the one who stabs the bento and has the jewelled bball) flowers for her swag. I swear she rolls like she grew up "all my life I had to fight" in a ghetto somewhere. What I love about the Shooting Star visual is that it highlights a bunch of Japanese contributions to international pop culture... Mario, Sailor Moon, Hello Kitty... so it feels nostalgic both here in Japan and in the West. That was brilliant. Left Right is my jam. I am an 80s child, so this sort of R & B was big right when I started clubbing. Also, Juria and Chisa just ATE on this track. Not a crumb left in sight.
my f**king DAUGHTERS!!!! yuhh, get into it lmao. jurin, the leader, is the one who initially caught your attention (like you said), her bone structure (face) is chiseled by the GODS, chisa, to me, resembles gowon from loona if you really look at her, hinata has the lightest hair usually, harvey looks like camila cabello/looks hispanic, juria honestly reminds me of chuu (bubbly, naturally cute) but that’s my baby regardless 🥹 maya resembles rosé in certain angles, and cocona is the baby (just to help you familiarize yourself with their faces). the entire group is the dance line tbh, chisa, juria, and hinata are the vocal line, and jurin, harvey, maya, and cocona are the rap line.
As a 86 liner, I spent my teenager years listening to a lot of old school r'n'b and ngl this hit home... Both Shooting Star and Left Right made me feel so nostalgic of these years... Def seeing a lot of TLC on this but u can also feel the Aaliyah influence in it and even on a later era some Ciara :D As for the rappers, listening to their cipher will make you understand their influences. So yeah, I'm sooooo here for them, 2023 better be their year or I'll riot !!! xD
Bruh I love watching people discover XG, especially when it really clicks with the reactor. XG makes me feel the same way I did when I first discovered kpop with boy groups and BTS in 2016, then again with girl groups and Loona + Mamamoo in 2020. I know XG aren’t technically kpop but they give the same kind of magical feeling I got discovering this whole universe of Korean pop and entertainment.
XG the FLYEST female crew on the planet. I'm old skool and ill tell you these young ladies just have it. Their talent, charisma, beauty and swag is unlike anything i've seen in a really really long time since their debut in 2022. They are so underrated its absolutely criminal. They should be HUGE. Shooting Star is already 100% SOTY. Hands down.
XG are so amazing! I’ve bought their most recent tracks and jam out to them in the car and…well everywhere. Lol. I love Harvey too. She has such a unique voice and her stage presence is FIRE. They all slay! Can’t wait to see you check out more of their stuff.
I'm a Harvey bias, cocona/Maya wrecker and I too was captivated by Harvey but what really made her a bias was in "Tippy toes" when she said "bad gyalz" like I really loved her sass when she said it. I too like the whole group though
Mine was shooting star when she said "popping" like it was soooo freaking buzzy to me, isn't explain it lol but definitely bias Harvey, Cocona & Hinata wrecker 😍
I haven’t felt this obsessed with a group in a while! So happy you’re reacting to the girls they’re insanely multi talented and bring something so different I feel💘 for the ones you wanted to know; jurin (the leader) is the one at 5:05 she’s such a baddiee and she knows it😭 5:49 is Harvey I lovee her tone she’s such a cutie💞7:43 is juria! Our vocal queen Her and chisa’s vocals are😍 your reaction to shooting star is so mee I still can’t get over how good it is it’s the perfect song,mv, choreo, visuals just everything about it is an addiction at this point cos I haven’t stopped listening to it🫡
if you want to see the full scope of their talents (which are actually incredible) they all have individual dance tapes, three group ones, three solo vocal performances and 2 reallly good rap cyphers
the amount of people saying that Shooting Star is such a soty material is a proof that the song is really really good! Also same, i want xg and shooting star to top my spotify wrapped rn haha
In my opinion, stating they’re a “global girl group” pretty much means that aren’t K-Pop and J-Pop artists. I think XG can be in the same box as TLC, Little Mix, FLO, 5th Harmony and other groups that uses Pop, R&B and Rap elements in their music.
I got worried when you started to drink at the beginning of shooting star lol. You almost spit whatever lol The pre-chorus is like crack. With all the reaction vids ive seen, they all say the same. Everyone also missess the unicorn and wolf pop up when Hinata sings the chorus. And for the production team, camera guy and director needs an award for that angle where Maya and the girls did the body roll. Props to them.
Well this aged well....because Shooting Star did end up as RJ's #1 SOTY 🐺in his 2023 year end video. I think it was #1 for a lot of people in 2023 along with Left Right
Ok so you have to react to their Cypher (it's all 4 rappers) and also the 3 vocalists' songs, you're gonna flip your sh*t. And highly recommend their dance videos they posted before debut, they're like 1 min long so it doesn't take long to watch but will leave you jawdropped at how talented EACH one of them is.
I'm so ready for them to blow up in the western market. Right now I think a lot of people look at them and write them off because they assume it's kpop and some people dont like that, but once they realize?!?! Oh there's no going back❤️🔥
@big belly I can't relate cuz I love kpop but I get what you mean. People just need to open their minds if they want and realize that 1. They're not kpop. And 2. Even if they were, the music is still amazing.
I can't say enough about Shooting Star - I caught them on Inkigayo because I was waiting for [you know who] and up they popped with this song and wow! Commenters are saying Sienna Lalau is their choreographer, and doesn't that blow your mind! How did their agency think to reach out to her, I mean wasn't she busy with BTS and j-hope?? If the antis get out of their way, this song is gonna take off for them. The dance practice analysis reactors are also going off on this group, I wish them the best, this is a great song.
What I love about shooting star, is that the xypher video went viral and then this song dropped, and everyone expected it to be like the xypher video, and then the chorus comes and we’re just all pleasantly surprised 💕
Check out the rappers in Tape #1 (Chill Bill - Jurin/Harvey [ur favorite member at the moment]) and Tape #2 Xypher with (Cocona, Maya, Harvey, Jurin)! You won't regret it and get some more of Harveys bad ass moments!!!!
i feel u rj!! shooting star is soooo good! like it's only febraury but i can tell u right now that song is definitely gonna be in my top releases of the year. left right will probably end up being in my fav bsides as well!! i liked tippy toes and mascara too but like these new songs are just on another level. i hope they do more in this style bc it suits them so well!
xg is absolutely amazing, they have such an impressive rap line (u really should react to their rap cypher), beautiful vocals, and really really incredible dancers (i highly recommend u checking out their tippy toes dance practice)! harvey also stood out the most to me from the beginning, my first thought was that she really gave me camila cabello vibes haha
XG is really good also please react to FIFTY FIFTY if you still haven’t Ps XG isn’t a kpop or jpop group, even if they’re all Japanese they sing in English and call themselves as a global group 5:10 she’s Jurin (also my bias) 6:06 she’s Harvey (your favorite) 7:46 she’s Chisa
Ayyyeee!!! The girls are definitely amazing, their vibe this comeback was so nostalgic for me. Definitely looking forward to you reacting to their pre-debut material. The Xypher by the rap line, the Vox series by their vocal line, and even their Move series was phenomenal. This is a great year for the ladies. From New Jeans, Twice, XG, to baby monster when they finally release their first project… it is going to be very interesting to watch.
omg finally!! you deserve to know xg!! they are the best and most talented AAAAA harvey looks like camilla cabello :) but i feel like she isn't the one who you reminds of of harvey
What I love about this group is how well the members and their positions are utilized. Main dancers at the forefront, all rappers rapping but still providing supportive vocals, and main vocalists taking the more technical lines in the songs. Nothing that peeves me more than rappers or vocalists in a group that get no lines, or dancers that get placed in the back in favor of visuals. Or when stylists have an obvious bias. It helps that they’re all visually stunning, have great style between them, and are super talented in dance and vocals, and naturally confident. This is one of the most fair groups out there. They want to be at the scale of Spice Girls, Fifth Harmony and Destiny’s Child. They’re not trying to be boxed in but it’s clear the Korean market and promoting in their music shows will get them a lot of attention, considering the global attention Kpop currently has. So they’re all Japanese but trained in Korea, so they’re all tri-lingual.
Yesss!! I'm so giddy when reactors say that Shooting Star is SOTY for them, cuz it is for me! I doubt anything will top it and I won't be surprised if we see other Kpop groups use some of their ideas in their MVs lol. It's 2023 and so many concepts have been done, and yet they still manage to bring new material! XG all the way!
Ayooooo! so glad you dove into XG. These girls are going to become a phenomenon 💫 hope you also check out the cypher they did ☺️. Amazing reaction as always, RJ🔥
Many 4 gen groups is popular and well known international. If XG is not gonna be one of them i would be very disappointed. I don't stan them now cause of maknae age but they are amazing😍🤩💪👏. Thanks u
Now you know why so many requets for her. Simply amazing, IMPOSSIBLE don't love this comeback, love way Harvey sing and rap, and love Juria's voice. XG is 11/10
FYI, we now have a MV for Left Right. Sooooooooo get on that because it’s GIVING Y2K forreal. Like it’s all the music videos of the time in one - not just the aesthetic - it’s really like going back in time
I honestly stopped listening to Kpop around the pandemic. And just took a break. Idk why. But XG, even tho they aren’t Kpop, they still follow the blueprint and have the style and kind of music but in English. I’m obsessed with their music and vibes, and it seems like they are having fun which makes me happy. I’m a huge Red Velvet fan but even then, I’m not the hugest fan of their rap line lol. I’m a Reveluv but I’m just being honest. XG has R&b but also a dope ass rap line. And it’s amazing. I get happy listening to their music and I smile watching them grow! I’ve been a fan since Tippy Toes and it seems like each song just gets better. I’m in Alphaz for life now.
They’re changing the game on music entertainment, I’ve never been this satisfied to an entertainer, all talented and unique cannot bias coz I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE of them! More power XG! 👍🏼❤️
FYI, I’m aware now that this group isn’t exactly considered kpop, so forgive my lyrical comparisons after Mascara. 💙
It's a pleasure to see your reaction to XG, these girls are fire!! I was looking forward to your reaction to this group and to everglow which you already uploaded. I'm glad to know that you liked the group, in my top 5 group Asians are XG, I'm really not lying when I say they are fire, a big hug bro!!✨

I can totally see “Shooting Star” being used in TikTok videos, this upcoming graduation season because of the lyrics. This song is definitely a cute, catchy “We’ve made it!” anthem for people.
I love watching people fall in love with them. Great reaction!
EXAAAAACTLY! So rewarding to see more reactors get on board & spread the word.... let's hope he does the CYPHER ASAP!
Fr!!!
Me too. Love it
XG has done more "Queen" shit in their short ( UNDER A YEARRR ) career than most kpop groups couldnt even imagine doing in half a decade... its insane...
Small litlle guide:
4 rappers - Jurin, Maya, Harvey and Cocona
3 vocalists - Chisa, Juria (low key secretly a rapper too lol, she did the part after the chorus with the coffin scene) and Hinata
7 amazing dancers
*Hinata
@@phylisiajackson my bad lol
@@MarkCalica you good, just trying to help :)
Wait which scene?
@@kreii6962 In tippy toes, right after Cocona’s rap line.
In Japan, so I discovered them on debut day as a UA-cam ad. I was waiting for my 5-second skip and they said Ta-ta-ta-ta, and my soul melted. I will never get over Tippy Toes and I will always stan XG.
I can not really pick a proper bias when every body is a double or triple threat. But I gotta give Cocona (the one who stabs the bento and has the jewelled bball) flowers for her swag. I swear she rolls like she grew up "all my life I had to fight" in a ghetto somewhere.
What I love about the Shooting Star visual is that it highlights a bunch of Japanese contributions to international pop culture... Mario, Sailor Moon, Hello Kitty... so it feels nostalgic both here in Japan and in the West. That was brilliant.
Left Right is my jam. I am an 80s child, so this sort of R & B was big right when I started clubbing. Also, Juria and Chisa just ATE on this track. Not a crumb left in sight.
Also discovered them through the ad😂😂😂 been hooked since
my f**king DAUGHTERS!!!! yuhh, get into it lmao. jurin, the leader, is the one who initially caught your attention (like you said), her bone structure (face) is chiseled by the GODS, chisa, to me, resembles gowon from loona if you really look at her, hinata has the lightest hair usually, harvey looks like camila cabello/looks hispanic, juria honestly reminds me of chuu (bubbly, naturally cute) but that’s my baby regardless 🥹 maya resembles rosé in certain angles, and cocona is the baby (just to help you familiarize yourself with their faces). the entire group is the dance line tbh, chisa, juria, and hinata are the vocal line, and jurin, harvey, maya, and cocona are the rap line.
As a 86 liner, I spent my teenager years listening to a lot of old school r'n'b and ngl this hit home... Both Shooting Star and Left Right made me feel so nostalgic of these years...
Def seeing a lot of TLC on this but u can also feel the Aaliyah influence in it and even on a later era some Ciara :D As for the rappers, listening to their cipher will make you understand their influences.
So yeah, I'm sooooo here for them, 2023 better be their year or I'll riot !!! xD
XG are actually insane dancers. I was HYPNOTIZED by their Tippy Toes choreography and I'm literally a Dancer. Absolutely insane.
Can’t wait for the cypher reaction. Your mind will be blown!
Bruh I love watching people discover XG, especially when it really clicks with the reactor. XG makes me feel the same way I did when I first discovered kpop with boy groups and BTS in 2016, then again with girl groups and Loona + Mamamoo in 2020. I know XG aren’t technically kpop but they give the same kind of magical feeling I got discovering this whole universe of Korean pop and entertainment.
The rapper with the unique voice is Harvey! XG is such an exciting group to have entered the music scene. Can't wait to see more from them :D
Shooting Star is definitely SOTY! I can’t tell you how many times I listen to it a day. This comeback definitely made me an ALPHA
XG the FLYEST female crew on the planet. I'm old skool and ill tell you these young ladies just have it. Their talent, charisma, beauty and swag is unlike anything i've seen in a really really long time since their debut in 2022. They are so underrated its absolutely criminal. They should be HUGE. Shooting Star is already 100% SOTY. Hands down.
XG really blew me away with their comeback this year. I agree this is definitely my fav release so far this year
XG are so amazing! I’ve bought their most recent tracks and jam out to them in the car and…well everywhere. Lol. I love Harvey too. She has such a unique voice and her stage presence is FIRE. They all slay! Can’t wait to see you check out more of their stuff.
I'm a Harvey bias, cocona/Maya wrecker and I too was captivated by Harvey but what really made her a bias was in "Tippy toes" when she said "bad gyalz" like I really loved her sass when she said it. I too like the whole group though
Mine was shooting star when she said "popping" like it was soooo freaking buzzy to me, isn't explain it lol but definitely bias Harvey, Cocona & Hinata wrecker 😍
All 7 members of XG are so talented
I'm don't stan any girl groups but this group legit has a hold on me that I can not get out of lol!
they literally said "No Exit" on the beginning of Left Right live performance 😭😆
Chill bill /cypher tape 2 by XG 🔥🔥🔥
"That song would be number 1, if I had anything to do with it, it would be number 1 tomorrow, to-now... like to-yesterday" 💯😂
I haven’t felt this obsessed with a group in a while! So happy you’re reacting to the girls they’re insanely multi talented and bring something so different I feel💘 for the ones you wanted to know; jurin (the leader) is the one at 5:05 she’s such a baddiee and she knows it😭 5:49 is Harvey I lovee her tone she’s such a cutie💞7:43 is juria! Our vocal queen Her and chisa’s vocals are😍 your reaction to shooting star is so mee I still can’t get over how good it is it’s the perfect song,mv, choreo, visuals just everything about it is an addiction at this point cos I haven’t stopped listening to it🫡
if you want to see the full scope of their talents (which are actually incredible) they all have individual dance tapes, three group ones, three solo vocal performances and 2 reallly good rap cyphers
XG is going to be a global superstar! 😊❤
the amount of people saying that Shooting Star is such a soty material is a proof that the song is really really good! Also same, i want xg and shooting star to top my spotify wrapped rn haha
In my opinion, stating they’re a “global girl group” pretty much means that aren’t K-Pop and J-Pop artists. I think XG can be in the same box as TLC, Little Mix, FLO, 5th Harmony and other groups that uses Pop, R&B and Rap elements in their music.
5:06 that's Jurin oh my god she's the first one who caught my eyes too 🥰👌🏼 she's so cool aahhh
XG is so addictive! Some of their lyrics are a little goofy but they are a undoubtedly so talented and I can't wait to keep supporting them.
I got worried when you started to drink at the beginning of shooting star lol. You almost spit whatever lol
The pre-chorus is like crack. With all the reaction vids ive seen, they all say the same.
Everyone also missess the unicorn and wolf pop up when Hinata sings the chorus.
And for the production team, camera guy and director needs an award for that angle where Maya and the girls did the body roll. Props to them.
Literally that angled body roll!
So trueee all the rainbows in shooting star made me think of the rainbow road in Mario kart🤣
I think I'm in love with Chisa..Her voice is so good❤
Well this aged well....because Shooting Star did end up as RJ's #1 SOTY 🐺in his 2023 year end video. I think it was #1 for a lot of people in 2023 along with Left Right
Ok so you have to react to their Cypher (it's all 4 rappers) and also the 3 vocalists' songs, you're gonna flip your sh*t. And highly recommend their dance videos they posted before debut, they're like 1 min long so it doesn't take long to watch but will leave you jawdropped at how talented EACH one of them is.
I'm so ready for them to blow up in the western market. Right now I think a lot of people look at them and write them off because they assume it's kpop and some people dont like that, but once they realize?!?! Oh there's no going back❤️🔥
that’s what i think of them in the beginning. however I like
them more now since their music is more american if you know what i mean
@big belly I can't relate cuz I love kpop but I get what you mean. People just need to open their minds if they want and realize that 1. They're not kpop. And 2. Even if they were, the music is still amazing.
they're my favorite girl group since pre-debut 💙
XG definitely is so underrated
Even I already watched their mv so many times, i still smile when u r smiling 😂
Xg shooting star is just a masterpiece of a song like I’m blown away every time I hear it
Admito que después de 2ne1...ningún gg me había atraído tanto como xg....son geniales🥰
XG is kind of their predecessor since BlackPink is on another genre. XG's a solid group.
嬉しい言葉です。日本からありがとうございます。
Saaaaaaaame!
Me every song that drops from them was my fav till I hear the next lol 😂
Rapper bias COCONA 🔥
Vocal bias JURIA 💜
Just found them the other day and I'm already so into them. ❤️❤️❤️
seeing this man get his mind blown in real time has been the highlight of my day.
💙
I can't say enough about Shooting Star - I caught them on Inkigayo because I was waiting for [you know who] and up they popped with this song and wow! Commenters are saying Sienna Lalau is their choreographer, and doesn't that blow your mind! How did their agency think to reach out to her, I mean wasn't she busy with BTS and j-hope?? If the antis get out of their way, this song is gonna take off for them. The dance practice analysis reactors are also going off on this group, I wish them the best, this is a great song.
No but they are my new fav group 😭😭😭 ALPHA ride or die
Shooting star song of the year.
What I love about shooting star, is that the xypher video went viral and then this song dropped, and everyone expected it to be like the xypher video, and then the chorus comes and we’re just all pleasantly surprised 💕
I AM OBSESSED
Check out the rappers in Tape #1 (Chill Bill - Jurin/Harvey [ur favorite member at the moment]) and Tape #2 Xypher with (Cocona, Maya, Harvey, Jurin)! You won't regret it and get some more of Harveys bad ass moments!!!!
i feel u rj!! shooting star is soooo good! like it's only febraury but i can tell u right now that song is definitely gonna be in my top releases of the year. left right will probably end up being in my fav bsides as well!! i liked tippy toes and mascara too but like these new songs are just on another level. i hope they do more in this style bc it suits them so well!
you need to see their dance practice videos (the fixed version) they are literally all main dancers and their choreos are sooo cool
they're out of this world actually
XG never disappoints i hope their career skyrockets because they're THEE girls right now
oh u need to do [XG TAPE #2] GALZ XYPHER (COCONA, MAYA, HARVEY, JURIN) to complete the obssesion with this group
xg is absolutely amazing, they have such an impressive rap line (u really should react to their rap cypher), beautiful vocals, and really really incredible dancers (i highly recommend u checking out their tippy toes dance practice)! harvey also stood out the most to me from the beginning, my first thought was that she really gave me camila cabello vibes haha
their indivisual performance are great too.
They have not missed since predebut 😆 they are on another level🙌🌠💕 thank you for reacting to XG !!!
XG is really good also please react to FIFTY FIFTY if you still haven’t
Ps XG isn’t a kpop or jpop group, even if they’re all Japanese they sing in English and call themselves as a global group
5:10 she’s Jurin (also my bias)
6:06 she’s Harvey (your favorite)
7:46 she’s Chisa
Omg Fifty Fifty stan !!!!!! 😭
@@minniechuabsolutely, they’re amazing. Them and XG (and soon Baby Monster) are my favorite 4th gen ggs.
@@DulcisAbsentia agree ! And NewJeans also my fav 💙 please support FIFTY FIFTY’s comeback ( it’s coming soon ) They are so talent but underrated 😭
@@minniechu let’s go FIFTY FIFTY🤍
on 07:44 he was talking ab Juria not Chisa
It's the synchronization for me and SWAG WITH AMAZING VOCALS AND RAPS 😏
すごくいい曲だし、みんなキュート♡
Ayyyeee!!! The girls are definitely amazing, their vibe this comeback was so nostalgic for me. Definitely looking forward to you reacting to their pre-debut material. The Xypher by the rap line, the Vox series by their vocal line, and even their Move series was phenomenal.
This is a great year for the ladies. From New Jeans, Twice, XG, to baby monster when they finally release their first project… it is going to be very interesting to watch.
omg finally!! you deserve to know xg!! they are the best and most talented AAAAA
harvey looks like camilla cabello :) but i feel like she isn't the one who you reminds of of harvey
What I love about this group is how well the members and their positions are utilized. Main dancers at the forefront, all rappers rapping but still providing supportive vocals, and main vocalists taking the more technical lines in the songs. Nothing that peeves me more than rappers or vocalists in a group that get no lines, or dancers that get placed in the back in favor of visuals. Or when stylists have an obvious bias. It helps that they’re all visually stunning, have great style between them, and are super talented in dance and vocals, and naturally confident. This is one of the most fair groups out there.
They want to be at the scale of Spice Girls, Fifth Harmony and Destiny’s Child. They’re not trying to be boxed in but it’s clear the Korean market and promoting in their music shows will get them a lot of attention, considering the global attention Kpop currently has. So they’re all Japanese but trained in Korea, so they’re all tri-lingual.
XG is so good! I'm happy Shooting star is so well recieved!
Every XG song E.A.T.S 🤌🏾🔥
I love your kindness toward the girls !
They're so talented, love them! And love your reaction!
Finally..harvey got recognize by the reactor and become fav😭😭
Yesss!! I'm so giddy when reactors say that Shooting Star is SOTY for them, cuz it is for me! I doubt anything will top it and I won't be surprised if we see other Kpop groups use some of their ideas in their MVs lol. It's 2023 and so many concepts have been done, and yet they still manage to bring new material! XG all the way!
i live for cocona's swag like shes so damn cool
definitely my favorite music from xg shooting stars🌈🌈🌈🌈
They are not a K-POP！
XG is a global hip-hop and R&B group from Japan🇯🇵💘
soooooooo dope！💖💖💖💖💖
AHHHHHH YESSS!!! Definitely on my top 3 fav girl groups now bc of Shooting Stars & Left Right!!!🥰🥰🥰
Always great to see someone become a fan of one of my faves! Welcome to the club.
Yessssss XG! Shooting Star is also probably my song of the year too lol
Shooting Star is just THAT GIRL. SOTY for sure!! And Left Right is such a vibe! One thing about XG, their music and videos only get better and better!
Ayooooo! so glad you dove into XG. These girls are going to become a phenomenon 💫 hope you also check out the cypher they did ☺️. Amazing reaction as always, RJ🔥
They are playing XG left right on Las Vegas radio
Many 4 gen groups is popular and well known international. If XG is not gonna be one of them i would be very disappointed. I don't stan them now cause of maknae age but they are amazing😍🤩💪👏. Thanks u
YESS please watch the dance practices they're perfect in everything
Watch all of the Dance Practices (fixed versions) to see the full choreography!
リアクションありがとうー！！
楽しかったです🐺🛸☄️
Left and Right MV just came out. 👌 Could have been a chef's kiss to ur reaction line up. hihihi.
I am so fucking ready to see XG take over the world. I haven't met such a great group in a long time. They are on the NEXT LEVEL.
リアクションthankyouです。
Now you know why so many requets for her. Simply amazing, IMPOSSIBLE don't love this comeback, love way Harvey sing and rap, and love Juria's voice. XG is 11/10
RJ, I already love you as a fellow 2NE1 fan. Thank you for the reaction. XG is a promising group so far, so I hope they get much success!
XG it's amazing 🥺❤️
FYI, we now have a MV for Left Right. Sooooooooo get on that because it’s GIVING Y2K forreal. Like it’s all the music videos of the time in one - not just the aesthetic - it’s really like going back in time
He AIN'T READY for their rap cypher LOLOLOLOL... good reaction, amigo~
I honestly stopped listening to Kpop around the pandemic. And just took a break. Idk why. But XG, even tho they aren’t Kpop, they still follow the blueprint and have the style and kind of music but in English. I’m obsessed with their music and vibes, and it seems like they are having fun which makes me happy. I’m a huge Red Velvet fan but even then, I’m not the hugest fan of their rap line lol. I’m a Reveluv but I’m just being honest. XG has R&b but also a dope ass rap line. And it’s amazing. I get happy listening to their music and I smile watching them grow! I’ve been a fan since Tippy Toes and it seems like each song just gets better. I’m in Alphaz for life now.
They’re changing the game on music entertainment, I’ve never been this satisfied to an entertainer, all talented and unique cannot bias coz I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE of them! More power XG! 👍🏼❤️
Finally you’re reacting to XG! I need ppl to get on the Alpha train ASAP!
thank you for reaction to XG.
yes, they are fire!🔥🔥🔥
