Forestella is wonderful. I feel like I’m the beginning, the smiling was from wonderful memories, then the melancholy is shown towards the end, very clever ❤
Oh my!!! Thank you so much for your thorough and genuine reaction!!! I enjoyed every moment of your reaction - analyses. I love experts dissect and explain performance. I love learning!!!! Thank you!!! Aren’t they amazing???
There are some stories about this song Scarborough Fair..what I've read was this is a song from a ghost (soul) of a dead soldier. He asked the herbs growing on his dead body to deliver his message to his beloved girl in Scarborough Fair where was a big herb market. He asked the herbs to tell her impossible task like "Tell her to make me a cambric shirt without no seams nor needle work" to make her give up waiting for his coming back as he's already unable as he's dead. Forestella sang like as messengers of this sad and beautiful story. Also there are symbols those herbs significated: parsley for comfort or to remove bitterness, sage for strength, thyme for courage, rosemary for love. There's some speculation that these four herbs were used in a tonic of some sort to remove curses. What I first heard was to remove memories..so I thought he (the dead soldier) wanted to remove the memory about him from his girl to make her not mourning for him any more. BTW I found those herbs cannot be grown in same areas in fact while on my researching for English references.. so it could be just for remembering recipe for turkey seasoning ingredients, too.
Your enthusiastic reaction was very good. I saw your love for music. As Forestella fans, we love their songs and want their efforts to bear fruit. We look forward to your continued response.
Thank you for your reaction to Forestella❤ There are so many great cover song by them such as Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the champions, Shape of you, Heal the world, Smooth Criminal, Time in a bottle, Je suis Malade, Nella fantasia, Sound of silence, Hijo de la luna, Parla piu piano, Bad romance and etc.. They are amazingly talented and I hope your reaction to them more.
Love your reaction👍 Welcome to Forestella World... Please make more reaction to their songs... Bohemian Rhapsody, Hijo de la Luna, Inner Universe, Time in a bottle, Bad Romance
It's so nice to meet you for the first time through Forestella video, and thank you for your great reaction~!! 👍👍 Forestella is a Korean cross-over group that was formed in 2017 and has received a lot of love until now~ They are a genius group that makes all music their own, regardless of language or genre~!! 🤩🤩 Their harmonies are amazing, and their voices are also so wonderful! Forestella always shows different sides of each stage, and it touches fans!! 👍👍 There are a lot of great videos of them, but please react to Lady Gaga's cover song 'Bad Romance' that shocked many people not too long ago~ You're going to meet a deadly, sexy Forestella~!! 💕💕
Forestella is one of my latest discoveries. Each of them has a great voice, but their harmony when they sing together is outstanding. Their group name is a mixture of "forest" and the Latin/Italian word "stella", which means star. So Forestella means a forest of stars. Their names from left to right in this video: Ko Woorim (classically trained bass), Kang Hyungho (countertenor and rock voice, no vocal training), Cho Mingyu (tenor and leader of the group), Bae Doohoon (tenor, musical actor). From a performance point of view, I think their cover versions of "Je suis malade" and "If I leave" will satisfy you. Melancholy and emotions run throughout the whole songs. As always, thanks for your interesting insights. :-)
I agree with every thing you've said @Michael Reiter and would also like to add.. 'Time in a Bottle'.. Oh my goodness, that one really got to me.. Best wishes from Wales.
Yes, if you want to see the emotions, "Je Suis Malade" is the one. They are simply amazing. I am a new subscriber today!! Can't wait to see your takes on their other performances.
Thanks for the reaction. I liked your reaction. The detailed analysis and candid comments were impressive. Their music is beautiful and fantastic. Welcome to Forestella's world of music!!🤗 They are a crossover group that encompasses almost all genres, including pop, ballad, rock, classical, folk, dance, trot, jazz, and tango. The members of Forestella consist of two classical vocalists (bass, tenor), one rock vocalist (soprano & rock), and one musical actor (R&B style husky voice). There is creativity in re-creating one's own color without losing the essence of the original song. They make special music that cannot be found anywhere else in the world, but they move us with music that everyone can relate to. She freely changes her vocal style and plays songs of various genres. If you want to see more of their deep emotions, we recommend je suis malade, time in a bottle. And if you want to see the surprise of their musical range, I recommend Bohemian Rhapsody, and if you want to see their grand and meaningful narrative, I recommend the original songs Save Our Lives, Lazenca Save Us, and Champions. Also, if you want to see their amazing interpretations of music, I recommend The Shape of You, Bad Romance, and if you want to see their classic performances, I recommend Hijo de la Luna, Parla Piu Piano, and Nella Fantasia. Aside from that, a variety of music awaits you. I have subscribed to your channel. I am sure that you will never regret your tour of Forestella's music world.😊
Thank you for your amazing reaction! This is Forestella, a crossover group from Korea. They are the winner group in the Phantom Singer 2; a survival audition show to form a crossover quartet like il Divo from Korea. However as they have their own unique style, they won't be Korean il Divo, they will be the Forestella of the world! Forestella has sung great covers like Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions, Heal the World, the Sound of Silence, My Favorite Things, Champions (mash-up of Champs league theme and Champions by Jo SuMi), Nella Fantasia, Scarborough Fair..etc etc. At the Phantom Singer All Stars they sang Time in a bottle, Je suis Malade as well. Shape of You in English, Spanish and African Zulu is fantastic indeed. You can even see them dancing singing Smooth Criminal as well! And they broke the record of their own with Bad Romance which seems toxic version of their Lazenca Save Us, winning 5 trophies for King of Kings in a row in Immortal Songs. Forestella is a quartet of Ko WooRim (classical bass, intense abyss-deep low tone), Kang HyungHo (ex-research chemist, rock vocalist with soprano falsetto voice), Cho MinGyu (classical leggiero tenor, light boyish crystal clear tone) and Bae DooHoon (musical actor, 159th King of the Masked Singers, rough-textured husky tone with R&B, Pop groove). Each has distinct tone and style of singing, different charm. But all of them are famous as practice-freaks. Ko WooRim said they met more than 300 days an year together in Phantom Singer All Stars behind interview but in a radio program the leader (Cho MinGyu) revealed it would be around 20 days they didn't meet in the year. So I think this explains how their perfection executed. Don't miss their new m/v for Save our lives! It's full of wonders.
Thank you for the sincere reaction! They are "Performing" all along, actually. From the start of this song, Forestella tells us a story. Their happy and joyful face and expression is the past. As the song progresses toward the end, the pain is revealed as it becomes the present and finally the audience wakes up from the dream with the Bass sound.
Yep, I agree with you. That’s the feeling I was getting too. That’s actually how I was taught this song at school in the 70’s. It’s a journey they’ve taken us on.
I'm sure you will love their "Time in a bottle", "Je suis malade" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" if you want to check their expression especially! Thank you for Forestella reaction. I really enjoyed your analysis! : )
맴버들이 모두 훌륭한 학력으로 기본적으로 영어를 다 잘합니다. 그들중에 2명 베이스 고우림과 테너 조민규는 우리나라 최고의 정통 클레식 음악대학을 전공하였으며, 클레식 전공자답게 유럽 여러나라 이탈리아 독일등의 언어 공부를 하며 개인의 노력이 더해져 여러 언어를 노래하기도 합니다. 뮤지컬배우 테너바리톤 배두훈은 그에 못지않은 한국예술대학 연기과를 전공하고, 뮤지컬배우로 활동하면서 한국전통음악 퓨전밴드의 객원보컬로 활동하기도 하였습니다. 카운터테너 록보컬 강형호는 유명한 국립대학의 화학전공자이지만, 20세이전부터 학교의 서클밴드를 시작으로 대기업 화확연구원이던 시절까지 계속 아마추어 밴드의 보컬로 활동했습니다. 지금은 포레스텔라 맴버로 활동하며 음향 사운드를 공부하며 훈련을 하였고, 개인활동에는 자작앨범을 여러곡 발표하였는데, 작사할때 영어가 더 편한 것인지 개인 데뷔 싱글 빼고 모두 영어로 된 가사였습니다. 그들의 노래표현에는 잘 발음하기 위한 노력 뿐만 아니라, 기본적으로 가사 이해를 바탕으로 한 원곡에 더한 그들만의 해석이 담겨져 있습니다.
Just subbed, I like the way you watch, absorb, and describe what the music does to you and also how you feel about it. FORESTELLA ARE AMAZING. As a lady of 60 years and counting, Forestella have brought new versions of songs I have known for a long time and put a totally unique spin on them. They just seem to reach into my heart, and soul, and pull out all sorts of emotions.. Happy through to Sad the whole gauntlet. Enjoy watching more of them they are truly awesome, and very humble too. My heartiest best wishes to you from Wales.
This was WONDERFUL I adore forestella and I always love seeing people discover them 💕 This performance always gives the chills Also if you plan to look into more forestella and you want that emotional vibes I DEFINITELY HIGHLY RECOMMEND their performance of je suis malade it makes me cry EVERY TIME it's beautiful 😍 They've done lots of covers some of my personal favorites are time in a bottle, shape of you, bad romance, and champions Hope you enjoy this musical journey ☺️😉
Thank you so much. I actually just recorded their performance if je suis malade. I don’t know when it will post but I hope to see you in the comment section when it does!
Thanks for the reaction. Check out "je suis malade" (if you want to see good acting), or "time in the bottle" (if you want to see a beautiful stage on an emotional roller coaster) by forestella.
Thank you a lot for reacting to Forestella... if you need more emotions you can hear je suis malade, bohemian raphsody and a song that not many react to but it made me cry called snail
I think there is not only one way to interpret a song, or even lyrics. You can look back on a broken heart with nostalgia too. There is sadness there, but it's more like they look back at memories over time, which is emphasized by the clock behind, too. IForestella always puts their own interpretation on a song, they don't strictly perform it as the original.
I really enjoyed your reaction to Forestella whose performance is always beyond expectations. I guess you might like their redition of "Je suis malade" which will definitely move and surprise you. I do LOVE how they deliver the essence and message of every song by thoroughly interpreting and expressing emotions of songs. FYI, DooHoon BAE, one member of this group, is a musical actor who really nailed the song "Je suis malade". Hope to see more reaction to Forestella on your channel.
Maybe too late for this comment, but since you were wondering the lacking of sadness at the beginning - here's my understanding of their physical emotional expression: when you first recalled the memories of your love, you feel happy and that makes you smile, however since you didnt go to the happy ending, you feel sad and regreted, that's how your emotion evolved
I've been following forestella for a while now and I've had "goosebumps" all the time ever since. The voices are unique on their own but when they sing together it just blows you away. They cover songs of all genres and make each song completely their own without losing the spirit of the original. They always deliver a perfect overall performance, also in terms of emotionality and interpretation. Please react Je suis malade, champions or bohemian rhapsody and you will see. The song "Save our live" from the latest album is the best. A truely epic masterpiece. It's like a star trek warp speed moment, they just sort of pick you up and drag you along with them. Thank you so much for your reaction!
Hi~ Thanks for your reaction to FORESTELLA.They've met at an audition program called "Phantom Singer 2" which finds the best male cross-over quartet. These 4 guys were included in the final 12 singers among thousands of applicants. And, the TV program PD divided those 12 singers to 3 groups as they want. And, guess what? They(FORESTELLA) won this contest!!! When they sing on the stage, they normally set their position like this. The first one from the left side is Ko Woo-rim(bass, vocal student), the second one is Kang Hyeong-ho(conter-tenor/soprano, ex-chemist), the third one is Cho Min-kyu(tenor, vocal student) and the fourth one is Bae Doo-hoon(baritone, musical actor) There're many amazing songs they've covered.

Me suscribo, me encantó tu análisis reacción, honesto. Forestella es una banda maravillosa, te aseguro que apreciarás su interpretación más allá de sus increíbles voces capaces de crear magia con sus armonías. Son muy versátiles, no se les resiste ningún estilo. Te recomiendo eches un vistazo a Je suis malade, creo que apreciarás su interpretación. Recientemente han versionado Bad romance de Gaga, y bueno... mejor verlo. O su tema Save our lives, épico. Son maravillosos.
Merci beaucoup ! J'ai enregistré ma réaction à Je Suis Malade. J'espère le télécharger sur UA-cam plus tard aujourd'hui. Merci encore de vous être abonné et de commenter. Je vous en suis très reconnaissant.
Oh please please...if you want dynamics, check out their performance of "Phantom of the Opera "....it is a solo by the countertenor! He sings and acts both Christine's and the Phantom's parts! Jaw dropping! You will love it! I promise!
ok you want emotion- watch their version of Je Suis Malade. Also I never understand the popularity of this song it's a dirge..lol.. Cho Min Gyu , the first singer, delivers a solo performance that truly shows his emotional range.please check out 'Balada para un loco' if you get a chance. Enjoyed the reaction but a bit frustrating to hear you critique the facial expressions when we can't actually see them! I know..copyright...
I really love hearing a low voice in a pop group, especially when he's given the lead & real dramatic moments in the song! I don't think Forestella has quite the perfect vocal balance & blending of the very top-tier a capella groups, but I could listen to them sing in this rather folk/acoustic style all day & half the night. Thanks very much for this emotional, performance-centered reaction to a new-to-me group. 🤓
They’re a crossover group, not an a’capella group…people always seem to label them incorrectly as that. They have always performed with accompaniment with perhaps a few lines here and there sung on tv shows as impromptu demonstrations of their vocal ability. Their mission is to demonstrate across multiple genres how classical elements can be woven into contemporary music and if done cleverly can still result in beautiful music or performances that can be enjoyed by a wide audience. True crossover intent. They refuse to be confined to a particular genre and often are operating in multiple genres and languages within one song. I applaud their efforts to dispel the notion that there always has to be exclusivity promoted in particular genres…it’s the reason the 2 immensely talented opera singers left that world where they felt confined, to explore and express their other musical interests. They hope to broaden the musical tastes of audiences by presenting enjoyable music from across the musical spectrum using their vocal prowess enhanced and informed by music from around the world.
They have "performed" from the start. That jovial face was an expression of a past - a past of happier times as part of recollection. It's a matter of interpretation. Your interpretation may not be the same as someone else who is looking at the same piece.
A new original song, not a cover of Forestella, has been released. Links to concert videos and music videos will be provided. see what you want No copyright. I think concert videos are more beautiful and have a better atmosphere. 230618 백야 White Night(미공개 신곡) 포레스텔라(Forestella) The Light in Seoul / Hedda ua-cam.com/video/_OiAphHwwsU/v-deo.html 포레스텔라(Forestella) 'White Night (백야)' M/V / 포레스텔라 Forestella ua-cam.com/video/pOVNGANwcrk/v-deo.html
I think Mingyu's opening "happy" was a choice so the audience could be part of the journey to wistful and sad. I'm glad you stuck it out and appreciated their performance through to the ending. I hope their vocals give some of your followers impetus to see the original video. PS I'm loving your commentary and look forward to discovering other artists. I noticed you have REN reactions. I don't remember how he showed up for me but I love that he is succeeding in spite of all he is going through. PPS I'm a BTS fan, more for their dancing and lyrics than anything else (yes, I saw you reacted to our boy Jungkook). They entertained me during the pandemic and because of that a whole new world has been opened for me. Many of the BTS reactors I follow also reacted to Forestella which is how I finally discovered them (two weeks ago). Other artists, too, but I'll leave that for another post. Pop music has been a refuge during the past several years of DT and the pandemic, Pop music is something I never expected to actually enjoy again at my age. Forestella is what I grew up with. My dad put together a group like The Four Freshman as an example. I grew up surrounded by jazz musicians with sounds like Tal Farlow and Johnny Smith. This may sound silly, but seeing and listening to great talent on UA-cam gives me hope for future generations. Politicians and the reality of the changing world sometimes feels like everything is going to hell in a handbasket but artists finding a way to succeed in the new medias tells me all will be well in the world. (end of rant)
Wonderful eh? And not even their best. Try "Bohemian Rhapsody" 👏 "Shape of you" 😂, "Sweet Dreams", or my favourite "Je suis Malade" 😢. The deep bass is Ko WooRim (Classically trained), then you have the guy with the very high vocals Kang Hyung-Ho (who had NO VOCAL TRAINING prior to joining Forestella, and was... A part time Rock singer). 😂 😲 Don't know if you've Reacted to Chinese singer Hua Chenyu... Best performer on the Planet for me. Better than Freddie Mercury (who I followed from BEFORE Queen were famous), and David Bowie combined. Hua Hua sings everything. "Nunchucks" is a good fun intro (not even in my Top 50 Hua Hua Performances). But if you want emotion try "I am what I am" or "I really want myself back". Sadly his two most emotional performances "Dad Im home" (domestic abuse) and "Dear Friend" keep being taken down in live form with English Subs. They are truly.. MAGNIFICENT. See them if you get a chance. You'll get most of his performances with English Subtitles. There's even a Hua Chenyu English Subtitles Channel on UA-cam. This is a fan cam with English Subs of "I really want myself back". 😢 💔 ua-cam.com/video/3MSWV3lfKic/v-deo.html
I get how you felt about the first two parts of the song, which sound sweet coupled with expressions to match. This doesn’t seem to match the melancholy of the song. Simon and Garfunkel’s version, however, was also very sweet throughout. This version takes us on a journey of emotions. First, there are fond memories. Then, with the key changes, the second half gets increasingly darker until it reaches the final discordant harmony, What do you think?
Forestella is wonderful. I feel like I’m the beginning, the smiling was from wonderful memories, then the melancholy is shown towards the end, very clever ❤
Your analysis is best!
Thier songs and your reaction is so good!!!
Thank you for your reaction.
Their voices are really great.
Their harmonies are really beautiful.
They are lovely, amazing.
Thank you very much.
Forestella❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
리엑션 감사합니다 🙏💕💕
벌써 다음영상 분석과 반응이 기다려지네요👍
Very nice version of this beautiful song!
Thank you 😊💓☺️
Oh my!!! Thank you so much for your thorough and genuine reaction!!! I enjoyed every moment of your reaction - analyses. I love experts dissect and explain performance. I love learning!!!! Thank you!!!
Aren’t they amazing???
There are some stories about this song Scarborough Fair..what I've read was this is a song from a ghost (soul) of a dead soldier. He asked the herbs growing on his dead body to deliver his message to his beloved girl in Scarborough Fair where was a big herb market. He asked the herbs to tell her impossible task like "Tell her to make me a cambric shirt without no seams nor needle work" to make her give up waiting for his coming back as he's already unable as he's dead. Forestella sang like as messengers of this sad and beautiful story.
Also there are symbols those herbs significated: parsley for comfort or to remove bitterness, sage for strength, thyme for courage, rosemary for love. There's some speculation that these four herbs were used in a tonic of some sort to remove curses. What I first heard was to remove memories..so I thought he (the dead soldier) wanted to remove the memory about him from his girl to make her not mourning for him any more.
BTW I found those herbs cannot be grown in same areas in fact while on my researching for English references.. so it could be just for remembering recipe for turkey seasoning ingredients, too.
OMG 😲 love your reaction!!

There are so many great cover song by them such as Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the champions, Shape of you, Heal the world, Smooth Criminal, Time in a bottle, Je suis Malade, Nella fantasia, Sound of silence, Hijo de la luna, Parla piu piano, Bad romance and etc..
They are amazingly talented and I hope your reaction to them more.

It's so nice to meet you for the first time through Forestella video, and thank you for your great reaction~!! 👍👍

Forestella always shows different sides of each stage, and it touches fans!! 👍👍
There are a lot of great videos of them, but please react to Lady Gaga's cover song 'Bad Romance' that shocked many people not too long ago~
You're going to meet a deadly, sexy Forestella~!! 💕💕

They just seem to reach into my heart, and soul, and pull out all sorts of emotions.. Happy through to Sad the whole gauntlet.
Enjoy watching more of them they are truly awesome, and very humble too.
My heartiest best wishes to you from Wales.
포레스텔라 리액션 감사합니다 💕
🌲⭐️
Thank you~
This was WONDERFUL
I adore forestella and I always love seeing people discover them 💕
This performance always gives the chills
Also if you plan to look into more forestella and you want that emotional vibes I DEFINITELY HIGHLY RECOMMEND their performance of je suis malade it makes me cry EVERY TIME it's beautiful 😍
They've done lots of covers some of my personal favorites are time in a bottle, shape of you, bad romance, and champions
Hope you enjoy this musical journey ☺️😉
Thank you so much. I actually just recorded their performance if je suis malade. I don’t know when it will post but I hope to see you in the comment section when it does!
@@tnae 👁👄👁 oooooooo
Thanks for the reaction. Check out "je suis malade" (if you want to see good acting), or "time in the bottle" (if you want to see a beautiful stage on an emotional roller coaster) by forestella.
Their rendition of Je Suis Malade , My Favourite Things and Bad Romance might have those elements that you're looking for.
감사합니다
Forestella los Reyes de la Armonía!!! Son maravillosos e impresionantes !!! 🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤
luckily for all of us, the "blocked for copyright reasons" doesn't matter for Forestella's performances.
wow, you're not joking, not acting what you're saying.
I appreciate your sharing your feelings with this level of transparency
Thank you for helping create a space where I feel comfortable doing that.
Me suscribo porque amo a Forestella. Muchas felicitaciones 🎈
Thank you a lot for reacting to Forestella... if you need more emotions you can hear je suis malade, bohemian raphsody and a song that not many react to but it made me cry called snail
Thank you....🙂
I recommend you "Je Suis Malade" by Forestella cover version!
I think there is not only one way to interpret a song, or even lyrics. You can look back on a broken heart with nostalgia too. There is sadness there, but it's more like they look back at memories over time, which is emphasized by the clock behind, too. IForestella always puts their own interpretation on a song, they don't strictly perform it as the original.
Hope you are going to listen to their version of Time in a Bottle...Absolutely amazing!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍💙
I really enjoyed your reaction to Forestella whose performance is always beyond expectations. I guess you might like their redition of "Je suis malade" which will definitely move and surprise you. I do LOVE how they deliver the essence and message of every song by thoroughly interpreting and expressing emotions of songs. FYI, DooHoon BAE, one member of this group, is a musical actor who really nailed the song "Je suis malade". Hope to see more reaction to Forestella on your channel.
Maybe too late for this comment, but since you were wondering the lacking of sadness at the beginning - here's my understanding of their physical emotional expression: when you first recalled the memories of your love, you feel happy and that makes you smile, however since you didnt go to the happy ending, you feel sad and regreted, that's how your emotion evolved
I've been following forestella for a while now and I've had "goosebumps" all the time ever since. The voices are unique on their own but when they sing together it just blows you away.
They cover songs of all genres and make each song completely their own without losing the spirit of the original.
They always deliver a perfect overall performance, also in terms of emotionality and interpretation. Please react
Je suis malade, champions or bohemian rhapsody
and you will see.
The song "Save our live" from the latest album is the best. A truely epic masterpiece. It's like a star trek warp speed moment, they just sort of pick you up and drag you along with them.
Thank you so much for your reaction!
Hi~ Thanks for your reaction to FORESTELLA.They've met at an audition program called "Phantom Singer 2" which finds the best male cross-over quartet. These 4 guys were included in the final 12 singers among thousands of applicants. And, the TV program PD divided those 12 singers to 3 groups as they want. And, guess what? They(FORESTELLA) won this contest!!! When they sing on the stage, they normally set their position like this. The first one from the left side is Ko Woo-rim(bass, vocal student), the second one is Kang Hyeong-ho(conter-tenor/soprano, ex-chemist), the third one is Cho Min-kyu(tenor, vocal student) and the fourth one is Bae Doo-hoon(baritone, musical actor) There're many amazing songs they've covered. I wanna recommend these songs in the below. Stay safe and have a good one! 😊

이 분에게 하루빨리 My favorite things와 Hijo del la luna, Shape of you 보여드려야겠네요
Me suscribo, me encantó tu análisis reacción, honesto.
Forestella es una banda maravillosa, te aseguro que apreciarás su interpretación más allá de sus increíbles voces capaces de crear magia con sus armonías.
Son muy versátiles, no se les resiste ningún estilo. Te recomiendo eches un vistazo a Je suis malade, creo que apreciarás su interpretación.
Recientemente han versionado Bad romance de Gaga, y bueno... mejor verlo.
O su tema Save our lives, épico.
Son maravillosos.
Merci beaucoup ! J'ai enregistré ma réaction à Je Suis Malade. J'espère le télécharger sur UA-cam plus tard aujourd'hui. Merci encore de vous être abonné et de commenter. Je vous en suis très reconnaissant.
💖💖💖💖
performance wise, "bad romance" is the recent Forestella's cover song. You can see their outstanding performace plus harmonization.
Oh please please...if you want dynamics, check out their performance of "Phantom of the Opera "....it is a solo by the countertenor! He sings and acts both Christine's and the Phantom's parts! Jaw dropping! You will love it! I promise!
ok you want emotion- watch their version of Je Suis Malade. Also I never understand the popularity of this song it's a dirge..lol.. Cho Min Gyu , the first singer, delivers a solo performance that truly shows his emotional range.please check out 'Balada para un loco' if you get a chance.
Enjoyed the reaction but a bit frustrating to hear you critique the facial expressions when we can't actually see them! I know..copyright...
Please react to Parla Piu Piano and Nella Fantasia by Forestella
Please watch Cho Mingyu : Balada para un loco and Balada de la trompeta, you can see his expressions.
I really love hearing a low voice in a pop group, especially when he's given the lead & real dramatic moments in the song! I don't think Forestella has quite the perfect vocal balance & blending of the very top-tier a capella groups, but I could listen to them sing in this rather folk/acoustic style all day & half the night. Thanks very much for this emotional, performance-centered reaction to a new-to-me group. 🤓
They’re a crossover group, not an a’capella group…people always seem to label them incorrectly as that. They have always performed with accompaniment with perhaps a few lines here and there sung on tv shows as impromptu demonstrations of their vocal ability. Their mission is to demonstrate across multiple genres how classical elements can be woven into contemporary music and if done cleverly can still result in beautiful music or performances that can be enjoyed by a wide audience. True crossover intent. They refuse to be confined to a particular genre and often are operating in multiple genres and languages within one song. I applaud their efforts to dispel the notion that there always has to be exclusivity promoted in particular genres…it’s the reason the 2 immensely talented opera singers left that world where they felt confined, to explore and express their other musical interests. They hope to broaden the musical tastes of audiences by presenting enjoyable music from across the musical spectrum using their vocal prowess enhanced and informed by music from around the world.
Forestella💧 〈Je Suis Malade〉

I recommend this song.
They have "performed" from the start. That jovial face was an expression of a past - a past of happier times as part of recollection. It's a matter of interpretation. Your interpretation may not be the same as someone else who is looking at the same piece.
I'm just a you tube subscriber but please watch New Jeans song Hurt. You won't be disappointed.
A new original song, not a cover of Forestella, has been released. Links to concert videos and music videos will be provided. see what you want No copyright. I think concert videos are more beautiful and have a better atmosphere.

On it!
I think Mingyu's opening "happy" was a choice so the audience could be part of the journey to wistful and sad. I'm glad you stuck it out and appreciated their performance through to the ending. I hope their vocals give some of your followers impetus to see the original video.
PS I'm loving your commentary and look forward to discovering other artists. I noticed you have REN reactions. I don't remember how he showed up for me but I love that he is succeeding in spite of all he is going through.
PPS I'm a BTS fan, more for their dancing and lyrics than anything else (yes, I saw you reacted to our boy Jungkook). They entertained me during the pandemic and because of that a whole new world has been opened for me. Many of the BTS reactors I follow also reacted to Forestella which is how I finally discovered them (two weeks ago). Other artists, too, but I'll leave that for another post.
Pop music has been a refuge during the past several years of DT and the pandemic, Pop music is something I never expected to actually enjoy again at my age. Forestella is what I grew up with. My dad put together a group like The Four Freshman as an example. I grew up surrounded by jazz musicians with sounds like Tal Farlow and Johnny Smith. This may sound silly, but seeing and listening to great talent on UA-cam gives me hope for future generations. Politicians and the reality of the changing world sometimes feels like everything is going to hell in a handbasket but artists finding a way to succeed in the new medias tells me all will be well in the world. (end of rant)
Wonderful eh? And not even their best. Try "Bohemian Rhapsody" 👏 "Shape of you" 😂, "Sweet Dreams", or my favourite "Je suis Malade" 😢. The deep bass is Ko WooRim (Classically trained), then you have the guy with the very high vocals Kang Hyung-Ho (who had NO VOCAL TRAINING prior to joining Forestella, and was... A part time Rock singer). 😂 😲
Don't know if you've Reacted to Chinese singer Hua Chenyu... Best performer on the Planet for me. Better than Freddie Mercury (who I followed from BEFORE Queen were famous), and David Bowie combined. Hua Hua sings everything. "Nunchucks" is a good fun intro (not even in my Top 50 Hua Hua Performances). But if you want emotion try "I am what I am" or "I really want myself back". Sadly his two most emotional performances "Dad Im home" (domestic abuse) and "Dear Friend" keep being taken down in live form with English Subs. They are truly.. MAGNIFICENT. See them if you get a chance. You'll get most of his performances with English Subtitles. There's even a Hua Chenyu English Subtitles Channel on UA-cam.
This is a fan cam with English Subs of "I really want myself back". 😢 💔

There are two reactions to Hua Hua on Brandon's channel. He also reacted to Nunchucks but the video hasn't been published on YT yet.
@@MichaelReiter 👍
I get how you felt about the first two parts of the song, which sound sweet coupled with expressions to match. This doesn’t seem to match the melancholy of the song. Simon and Garfunkel’s version, however, was also very sweet throughout. This version takes us on a journey of emotions. First, there are fond memories. Then, with the key changes, the second half gets increasingly darker until it reaches the final discordant harmony, What do you think?
Coldplay humankind (Official video) premieres in 2 hours. please to react.
Are you kidding me???? Picky??? Do ya think?!? You just can't get much better than Forestella! ... Maybe Dimash.....Well, definitely Dimash!!!
