I absolutely love Automatic, Be Natural - definitely R&B influenced. But I can see why SM moved RV away from that sound. It wasn't that successful with the younger Kpop audience in Korea. I also think they had a more mature image with these 2 songs, which was a big shift from the happy girl group concept of Happiness. Sales were very flat - the worst selling of their main B-side songs. Of course, Bad Boy was the exception (although Power Up actually outsold it).
Well, this song actually convinced me that K-Pop was actually relevant when I was rejecting it by default long ago as the metalhead elitist I was. It's just plain and simple a very good song. Since then, I avoid judging music style without giving it a good listening. Made me discover a lot of cool things! Who knew a kpop song could change a metalhead perspective :p
@@jeefuji This really happens to me with Red Velvet and most of kpop, a long time ago when I heard a song for the first time I didn't like it, but after a few listens I discovered a lot of really great music. Also what in earth with your pic HAHAHA Lol
being a reveluv hasn't been the easiest. you have people telling you that they're highly underrated, but to you and your own standards, they're number one, top of the food chain status, gold medalists in the vocal olympics... and honestly, i myself at one point, kinda just accepted it for what it was. like i became okay with them being my own little success, my fave group with the little community that we have. BUT tuning into this rv series has reminded me that the girls do DESERVE more. they should be touring the world and gaining more recognition for being one of the most unique groups in the industry. SM is the bane of my existence. I hope the success of Feel My Rhythm woke them tf up hahah. anyways, thank you ladies! im so excited to see you react to bsides. yall are not ready at all. imma tell you that right now...
Seriously sm is a genius for putting these 5 women together and giving them the best songs but I HATE sm so much for not doing enough for them. Rv could be at the top if SM actually does things for them. In their 8th year, they're still reaching new peaks and gaining new fans. Imagine if sm promotes them well? Reveluvs aren't as big a fandom as the others but we are relatively HUGE and not to mention, solid. Anything rv has achieved, they did it themselves idc sm is useless
girl what are u talking about ,red velvet may not be as popular as blackpink or bts but they are part of the big trilogy of third gen Blackpink,twice and Redvelvet.they are literly one of the biggest girl groups no one is calling them underrated,dont undermine their popularity
@@nanikore3338 Facts! That's the first thought that comes to mind when I heard that. Picking a favorite among the b-side for each album is still hard for me to do.
Goth Wendy actually destroyed me during the Psycho era. Unfortunate that it got cut short by her injury and year-long recovery, but I don't think we could have survived. Automatic remains one of my top favorite RV songs to this day. There's very few that can top it, TBH.
*"When music is good, music is good"* tell 'em girl I didn't like *Zimzalabim* at first and sometimes I still think the song is weird but it's a total banger lmao, the styling is also completely strange which I like too. The outro for that song is so hype and it cracks me up lmaooo they were so unserious in the studio. Also it's my first time seeing Joy's hairstyle there cause I've never seen the MV in full...😭 As for *Umpah Umpah* I'm watching it and istening to it for the first time along with you guys & I must say I like it a lot even if the "Umpah umpah" parts in the song make me cackle. 💀 *Psycho* IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE and I've been obsessed with that song since its release because it's just so beautiful. I HATE THAT THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE THE SYNTHS IN THE CHORUS ON THE STREAMING VERSION. SM WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU??? 😠 Anyway the MV looks so fancy (short hair Seulgi supremacy) & the "Hey now we'll be okay" part literally feels like glitter in music form. Looove it. (20:06 RED VELVET WORLD DOMINATION) Omggg when I first got into Kpop I wasn't really fond of *Automatic* because Kpop was so new to me and I wanted more of that cool edgy music like 2NE1 etc but now I can appreciate these kinda slower groovy songs more, I guess like they said "it just comes automatic" lmao. 32:42 Battery funds, anyone? 🤠
I get tears with Psycho because on the incredible build up and outro. It's just sonically overwhelming. I builds so so well and just blows me away. Cry away! :) Edit: Ah yes... Good luck when you listen to Kingdom Come.
the moment esosa said we need to pick one to two song from each album for them to listen i was like "oh sh*t this is the hardest thing being a reveluv" BECAUSE every bside red velvet has is sooooooooooooo good i don't even know if good is the right word...they are the bside queens, trust me you have to listen to every single song. but yeah i gonna do what esosa says pick one to two songs.
Man i cried the first time, too… Something about the outro “Hey now we’ll be okay”, and the rich warm synth accompaniment. Definitely hit the spot for some of us.
Wendy and John Legend singing “Written in the Stars” is going to make your head explode 🤯. The whole song is in English! I never heard it once on the radio and I live in Ohio (John’s home state). Wendy’s vocally and visually absolutely kills it and John is a legend. SM paid for a video filmed in California and never promoted it. Is should have been at least nominated for a R&B Grammy. Esosa won’t be able to hold back the tears.
Psycho is Such a masterpiece. It was the song that made me listen to red velvet After that i became a reveluv. Greatest kpop song :) Girls just performed psycho for the first time with a live crowd and it was epic
When it was released back in 2019, I probably played it more than I should have especially blasting it in front of my friends. My friends who aren’t K-pop fan almost learned the lyrics because of it 🤣🤣🤣
I remember PD from Form of Therapy once talking about how in both music and films you sometimes have parts that are disorientating until you know the full journey and the destination. For me this perfectly applies to Zimzalabim. First time on hearing it felt like a mess. But after hearing a few times knowing where the song was going and that each part comes back for a crescendo ending I had a lot more appreciation for the song and now love it.
yes! red velvet are vocal queens and they have a magnificent discography, that's why they are my ult group, and i agree they should be at the top, but! we are so lucky to know them and appreciate their music :) Other people are just missing out, a lot of other kpop fans try to discredit them saying that red velvet it's not for them cause their music is just noise, but i don't believe that, i agree that you could not like ALL their songs but if you listen to their discography, since they do so many concepts, there is always a song that you are gonna connect with. If your sister loves vocalist tell her to listen to wendy's solo! wendy is always recognized for idols, vocal coaches and vocalists as one of the best vocalist in kpop! she is so good at deliver the message and her tecnique is no joke. Im so happy that Esosa is enjoying this week so much :) welcome to the fandom!
Imagine how i felt when they literally debuted them as a full group with automatic. Not even ice cream cake and then automatic. Literally automatic off the bat. I went from interested in them to full on in love down bad die for them the moment the song played it was beautiful lol
one b-side from each album??? girl reveluvs figh everyday over their discography the comments are gonna be a war zone we can't just choose ONE it has to be more their discography is THAT good
Automatic was more like a pre release before Ice Cream Cake. Also they couldn't promote Psycho when it got out because not long after it was release,Wendy got badly hurt at a end of the year awards show (the whole show was a mess because a lot of other idols got hurt or almost hurt because the safety was bad)
I tried to listen to KPOP at early 40, can't find anything that would keep me liking them. Then i stopped listening to KPOP for a long time. Then BTS & BP made lots of noise, listen to them not until I bumped into RV after seeing friendship of Irene and Jennie. So I checked Red Velvet and the rest is history. I have almost 200 song from both RV and their member's singles, a 9 hour playlist in my Spotify and they are the only KPOP group I have in my playlist.
I’ve been a luvie for many years now and “automatic” is still my favorite red velvet song, but of course, with tons of others following closely behind. just… a little too good! 😮💨 regarding the b-side exploration, I can’t wait to suggest them for each album after the week is over! hopefully luvies will come together and request not only their favorite songs (since, of course, tastes vary) but also songs that showcase each album. if we are able to suggest two, that would probably fit in most fan favorites as well. I also loved what you said about being here for the music. I mentioned in another comment before that red velvet is the only group I actively follow, and that is first and foremost for the music. I listen to red velvet on the daily, along with whatever other album or artist (k-pop or otherwise) I might be into at the moment, but red velvet is just in constant rotation for me for their artistry, so I continue to follow and support them! that aside, they also have a fun presence outside of the music, so that’s just a bonus! that being said, I think you would enjoy their recording behinds (unfortunately, they only have a couple) as well as concert videos. I’m just very excited for the future of red velvet on your channel, I’ve been dying for it! 😭 love y’all! 💖
I totally get what she meant by she wants more. I feel like I NEED THE WORLD TO KNOW WHO RED VELVET IS. And I mean all 8billion people, every single one.
OH MY GOODNESS YES YES!! First of all Yay we got justice for Automatic it really is a great song, Secondly you guys need to check out the albums, the Japanese MVs/Albums, and you should DEFINITELY check out Wendy's album she went crazy on there! I just got to say about Zimzalabim I LOVE it there are a lot of people that hate it or really like it I guess it depends on the person/or the mood of the person but it really is one of the cult songs (Join the Luvies), Umpah Umpah is another Summer bop I can't help but smile and kind of dance to it and not only that but the visuals and vocals on there was AMAZING (though I think one of my favorite parts was the rap where they referenced their songs, plus Irene's baby was just lethal), Psycho was just ICONIC they should have definitely won especially with what happened to Wendy I'm just glad that she's back happy and healthy again I also think that it was definitely her era (the white hair, the Vocals, her outfits, just everything was amazing) just everything about it was WOW, and Automatic is just AMAZING it's not my favorite from them but it certainly was great and like I said I feel so bad for whoever tried to get to know them in that MV especially since Wendy looked very different to me like WOW and then the blonde hair (seriously I don't know who's era it was maybe Seulgi or Yeri not sure!) Anyways I can't wait for you guys to react to more Red Velvet such as more Music Videos, B - Sides, Live Performances, Covers, Dance Practices, Moments, and of course Ships! I can't wait for more Content from you guys and I hope that you both are doing well and staying safe and healthy! P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out with that if you need it, also I was just jamming to Psycho when I looked up for a second I just saw Esosa crying I mean same though! 🤣😂
Feel the same about RV's popularity, been extolling them from the rooftops to deaf ears mostly. Fave B-sides : In and Out, So good, Milkshake, You never Know, Knock on Wood, Pushing and Pullin, Sunny side up, LP, I just, Oh boy.
All albums, all Bsides, RV has no bad songs… They have the greatest discography in all K-pop if not all music and that’s not my opinion… kinda facts🤷🏼♂️ Billboard: RV is The Greatest Idol Group Alive!!! The Perfect Group Period.
Esosa hit it right in the head. Critics have constantly praised Red Velvet's enunciation. It's like when you're listening to RV songs you're also submitted to a Korean language class.
Yes someone finally said that they deserve more 😢😢❤❤….they are popular but not popular as much they deserve and really hope one day they will be at top groups because these songs are masterpieces
I can't wait to see u listening to their bsides 😭😭some of their bsides will make you levitate I'm telling you, they have the best discography in kpop, periodt*😤like their albums are non-skip.... like how can you have such a good releases
I feel you Sosa 🥺 I get goosies everytime I hear Psycho it’s so beautiful. Something about that song feels so full especially in your headphones. Giiiiiiirl you aren’t ready! I’m loving this series from y’all ☺️ Editing this to add - nobody is doing R&B like Red Velvet. Y’all should check out Kingdom Come it’s like the fan favorite. My fav from their new Japanese album Bloom is Marionette & I love love love their other Japanese songs too! They have mv’s for some ❤️ I’ve been a Reveluv but y’all are getting me super excited 😆😂 I know you’re going to love what you find when you dig more.
I have absolutely adored watching your Red Velvet journey. I have always thought for the longest time that Red Velvet hands down have the most superior girl group discography and there’s no question about that. Their ability to pull off any concept handed to them speaks to their versatility as artists and am especially a huge fan of their velvet material. It makes me so happy to see reactors actually react to their music and not just the music videos and visuals… their music is trascendental. If you react to more of their b-sides, please begin with their earlier albums… I’ve listed a few of my favourite b-sides from each of their earliest projects. Hope you can check them out and thank you so much for praising them with the accolades they deserve but aren’t always known for. SM struck gold with this group and continue to produce the smoothest R&B hits that new fans do not appreciate. Red Velvet have a bank full of songs amongst some of the silkiest R&B yet at times quirky upbeat pop ear worms and they’re so good at what they do. The 1st Mini Album ‘Ice Cream Cake’ - EP (Something Kinda Crazy & Take It Slow) The Red - The 1st Album (Oh Boy, Time Slip & Cool World) The Velvet - The 2nd Mini Album (Cool Hot Sweet Love & First Time) Russian Roulette - The 3rd Mini Album (Sunday Afternoon) Rookie - The 4th Mini Album (Little Little)
Love the RV series. I have not even a year of listening to kpop and already I'll fight anyone who says Red Velvet is not one of the all time greats. Forget South Korea I'm talking global. It's a crime they aren't household names in the US. America has no idea what music is anymore. The vocals, the attitude, the creativity. Red Velvet is art.
@@DifferentlyAlike I share kpop with everyone I know. Got some 👀 👀 at first but they're coming around. Red Velvet always gets a great reaction from people. It's about the next level songwriting, the pristine production, the visual wow factor of performers at the top of their game hitting notes and bars and choreo. Concepts that take you places you didn't know you wanted to go. I'm a lifelong fan of music from classical to jazz to hip hop, metal, electronic, mainstream and underground. I'm saying, kpop is the pinnacle of pop music and Red Velvet has a spot at the top with the greats.
B-sides i would recommend (after deliberating SO HARD): - Eyes Locked, Hands Locked (soft rnb kinda like The Pussycat Dolls’ Stick Wit U w/a lot of harmonies and vocal layering) - Perfect 10 (another slow rnb with harmonies bec. Red Velvet) - Kingdom Come (you CANNOT spell Red Velvet without vocal harmonies & layering) - Sassy Me (simple & fun but holy fuck VOCAL FRY) - In My Dreams (hauntingly sweet but will for sure go straight to your playlist) - Bamboleo (if you’re a fan of modern music incorporated with 80s-90s vibe) - Pose (it’s like those beauty pageant/runway type of song with a lil retro flavor) thank you for considering! love this series so much 💙 -a fan from the philippines
I am here for week 2 of Red Velvet! You will LOVE their B-sides. Kingdom Come will annihilate your souls. I remember back on 2017 when Twice blew up, I was saying how Red Velvet were infinitely the better girl group with no shade to Twice at all. But... How can you deny how insanely incredible the RV discography is?? I'm almost sad that you guys are discovering this now but also, glad you are! SM girl groups are ELITE.
Red velvet is one of the only kpop groups where I genuinely only skip maybe 2-3 songs out of their entire 120+ track discography. You're completely right, being big in kpop isn't enough for how talented they are. Everyone and their mum should be listening to Red Velvet. The world would be a better place
same. but I skip because I'm too excited to listen to the next song because all the songs get better every time I listen to it. listening in order or in ahuffle, doesn't matter. everything is great.
I didn't get Zimzalabim at first, but then i saw Red velvet said that you have to listen it in the concert. That's when i fall in love with this song. It's such a concert-banger!! Since then I can't help bouncing and shaking my head off every time i hear Zimzalabim~
Automatic is a great B-side song and one of my favorites, but Red Velvet has so many b-sides that are just as good or even better. I recommend that you listen to all their songs and judge for yourself.
-ESOSA'S FACE DURING ALL OF "ZIMZALABIM" IS LITERALLY ALL OF US THE FIRST TIME. This song was SUUUUUPER DIVISIVE, much like "Rookie" because it was so hyper experimental. I literally finished it and went "IGAB PART 2 OK SM. OK." That fucking Tokyo Drift cowbell and zipper bass bro. I'm so mad at their stylists for this MV and their stage promotions...Did them SO DIRTY...WENDY'S HIGH NOTE IS EVERYTHING DUDE. -So "Umpah Umpah" I guess is supposed to translate to the sound that you make as you come up for a breath of air after being underwater, equating to the freshness of a new relationship or something like that. I vibe so much with the choreography, and the like 1950's vibe-ish. ALSO ANY TIME WE GET BLONDE YERI IS A GOOD FUCKING TIME. And Wendy with the blonde extensions, bro. That was a VIBE. Irene is "The Original Visual" for a reason. -"Psycho" was a hard time for us Reveluvs because it released and then almost immediately after Wendy's accident happened. Wendy, being my bias and one of my ult. biases that hit me hard. I cried. A lot. Like, this song though, it so deeply and accurately explained the feeling and vibe I was dealing with over a very recent break up. "Psycho" is another one of those MOSTLY velvet vibes but kind of has a little bit of encompassing of both styles. ALSO WHEN YOU LISTEN TO IT AND "FEEL MY RHYTHM" ON SPOTIFY BE PREPARED TO BE SO FUCKING MAD BECAUSE IT IS /NOT/ THE SAME FULL FUCKING INSTRUMENTALS THAT THE MV HAS WHICH IS TOTAL BULLSHITTTTTTTTTTT. Also Esosa's tears make perfect sense because BROOOOOO THE FIRST TIME I LISTENED TO THIS SONG SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME. I COULD NOT STOP IT. I WAS LIKE I AM PERFECTLY FINE WHY AM I CRYING. -"Automatic" was a track I MAD Overlooked when first getting into RV, and has since sat hovering in my top 10 or top 15 tracks.
the way i’ve my list of bsides from their albums ready for you to react to right now 😭😭😭 but irene taught us to wait with respect so ill respectfully wait for you to drop the community post once the week is over 🥹🥹
Red Velvet got me into kpop last October. I watched Joy's dramas and fell in love with her voice and decided to check out her music. I wish they were bigger than they are, but they are definitely the best group. I've heard a few songs that I've liked from other groups, but no one is topping RV or making me want to listen to more music from them. Red Velvet are one of a kind. Zimzalabim was the first title track I blasted on my bluetooth speaker. It had my hold house shaking. Loved it. I loved that you love Umpah Umpah. It's my favorite summer song of theirs. Psycho is a good song. I actually heard it the first time through a reaction video right during the time the tiktok was popular. Thankfully, I don't go on TikTok so it wasn't ruined. Automatic is one of my favorite. When I first heard it, I thought Babyface produced it. It took me back to the 90s. Narrowing down those b-sides is going to be tough.
the reason why red velvet is addictive is the almighty Zimzalabim, people maybe hate the song at first, and then comes the Best Bridge of the Kpop. y'all can't help but listen to this all over again.
You both are gonna have a heart attack listening to their Bsides because red velvet Bsides are arguably the best in Kpop. Definitely suggest Perfect 10 and Kingdom come!
y’all watching these two ladies’ reaction to the vocal harmonies of Automatic, i CANNOT wait to see their reaction when they listen to Perfect 10, Eyes Locked Hands Locked, and Kingdom Come sjjsjsk
When you cried, I remembered how this was remembered as SOTY tier song for a lot of non-reveluvs but for reveluvs it is more of a COMFORT song more particlarpy bc of the "Hey now we'll be okay" outro.
You guys can do reaction to Time To Love, Kingdom Come, You Better Know, So Good, Ladies Night for B-sides reaction. There are much more than these haha But if it’s the same album… maybe The Perfect Red Velvet album 😂
Fun Fact: automatic is actually the song that sold a lot of people on red velvet. I talked abt it in my comment on the day 2 reaction but a lot of ppl weren’t happy when red velvet debuted but when they came out with this (and ice cream cake) they fully bought in.
I thought the reaction part was the best but then i got into the podcast part and guuurrlll do i live for it!!!! The whole rant on the podcast part is true! I agree with everything!!!!! Esosa speaking facts! It's indeed saddening that they're not as big as they're suppose to. These girls deserve to have world recognition and fame.
I cried too the first time listening to Psycho, it was during a time I was in a very toxic relationship and I kept telling myself "hey now, we'll be okay" and then listening to this it's almost like they're trying to repeat it until they believe it will be okay and that's exactly how I felt that time. I was crying on my way home from work hahahaha
I really love you two especially the way Esosa think that Red Velvet deserve more than what they get is just like what i always say and wanted for them!!!!!!!! they deserve everything and all the love and support!!!!!!! so happy that i found this channel
You are not the only one who cried when Psycho finished, precious! I also did. It's just, when a melody takes you places with absolutely etherial vocals, I feel it inside my soul and it makes me cry. It's a masterpiece and an art piece. So happy to see I'm not the only one who cries when music is so freaking good! :)
Time for an Umpah Umpah obscure theory!! Umpah umpah is kind of like a breathing technique parents teach their kinds when they learn swimming. So for the Red Velvet girls to guide the distorted male voice to breath off rythm (umpah-pah) for the whole song... yet another man sacrificed for the Red Velvet cult, this time by drowning. EDIT: oh and about the question of how they are not dominating, RV are known for releasing whatever song they feel like releasing, not following trends and just coming out with the weirdest songs at the time. People normally want consistency, so they either favour their Velvet side and shit on every Red song they release or get thrown off with songs like Zimzalabim, Rookie or RBB. For instance, Automatic was called boring AF until a full year later when they released One of These Nights, (you need to know how of a risky move that was, for a rookie girl group to come back with a ballad for a title track barely in the second year of their career. To this day, only two idol groups can out of it, Big Bang and BtoB), then everybody and their moms where singing Automatic's praises and how they wanted another song like it. Of course the Reveluv fandom is much smaller than say Onces or Blinks, but RV are really beloved by the general public, especially after songs like Russian Roulette and Red Flavour. But it wasn't until Bad Boy and Psycho that the fandom started to grow, seeing as these songs where and still are the "token" girl group songs every kpop fan obsesses about.

I can't wait for a whole album reaction to "The Perfect Red Velvet " álbum,a masterpiece
Omg I agree just listen to the whole red velvet doscography
the moment esosa said we need to pick one to two song from each album for them to listen i was like "oh sh*t this is the hardest thing being a reveluv" BECAUSE every bside red velvet has is sooooooooooooo good i don't even know if good is the right word...they are the bside queens, trust me you have to listen to every single song. but yeah i gonna do what esosa says pick one to two songs.
Its impossible to pick good b sides when all the b sides are good 😭😭 just say the whole red velvet discography and go
Why would they listen to it separately? That makes no sense 😂
@@BaconBerry yeah this is so true
UA-cam is a hater when it comes to listening to everything 😭 just protecting the channel
@@DifferentlyAlike You can upload the whole album listenings to Patreon tho, if it is an opinion
Man i cried the first time, too… Something about the outro “Hey now we’ll be okay”, and the rich warm synth accompaniment. Definitely hit the spot for some of us.
Wendy and John Legend singing “Written in the Stars” is going to make your head explode 🤯. The whole song is in English! I never heard it once on the radio and I live in Ohio (John’s home state). Wendy’s vocally and visually absolutely kills it and John is a legend. SM paid for a video filmed in California and never promoted it. Is should have been at least nominated for a R&B Grammy. Esosa won’t be able to hold back the tears.
up
Red velvet are literally called the b-side queens
I HIGHLY recommend listening to their b-side they make up half my playlist
I agree. Red Velvet has more songs on my all-time favorites play list than any other and most of those are b-sides.
There are two types of people in this world: those who think Zimzalabim is a perfect work of pure genius, and those who are wrong.
Zimzalabim is an "arena song" according to Irene. Took me at least 5 listens to finally love this song.
Then you just become obsessed with it
You need
“sassy me”
“So good”
“Perfect 10”
“Beg for me”
“Pushin and pullin”
Of course POSE
add Sunny Side Up too
don't forget Kingdom Come
“IN AN OUT” GUYS SORRY
"I JUST" LIKE THE BRIDGE ALONE IS A FUCKING SLAYAGE
Psycho is Such a masterpiece. It was the song that made me listen to red velvet After that i became a reveluv. Greatest kpop song :)
Girls just performed psycho for the first time with a live crowd and it was epic
When it was released back in 2019, I probably played it more than I should have especially blasting it in front of my friends. My friends who aren’t K-pop fan almost learned the lyrics because of it 🤣🤣🤣
"You forgot Automatic" "Where's Automatic" "Are you gonna react to Automatic"
Here you go besties
Lmao. That part
I remember PD from Form of Therapy once talking about how in both music and films you sometimes have parts that are disorientating until you know the full journey and the destination.
For me this perfectly applies to Zimzalabim. First time on hearing it felt like a mess. But after hearing a few times knowing where the song was going and that each part comes back for a crescendo ending I had a lot more appreciation for the song and now love it.
It could have been a demo version of “Psycho” you’ve heard that was in English.
"If you're talking about vocals in kpop, red velvet should be the only thing that rolls off for your tounge"
cannot agree more with this here
For Zimzalabim, it honestly feels like a rollercoaster with ups and down and turns, which truly reflects the song and the mv
"we're doing week 2, I don't give a fuck, bsides!" YES PLEASE don't stop on title track only 😭😭😭😭😭
yes! red velvet are vocal queens and they have a magnificent discography, that's why they are my ult group, and i agree they should be at the top, but! we are so lucky to know them and appreciate their music :)
Other people are just missing out, a lot of other kpop fans try to discredit them saying that red velvet it's not for them cause their music is just noise, but i don't believe that, i agree that you could not like ALL their songs but if you listen to their discography, since they do so many concepts, there is always a song that you are gonna connect with.
If your sister loves vocalist tell her to listen to wendy's solo! wendy is always recognized for idols, vocal coaches and vocalists as one of the best vocalist in kpop! she is so good at deliver the message and her tecnique is no joke.
Im so happy that Esosa is enjoying this week so much :) welcome to the fandom!
Imagine how i felt when they literally debuted them as a full group with automatic. Not even ice cream cake and then automatic. Literally automatic off the bat. I went from interested in them to full on in love down bad die for them the moment the song played it was beautiful lol
one b-side from each album??? girl reveluvs figh everyday over their discography the comments are gonna be a war zone we can't just choose ONE it has to be more their discography is THAT good
Automatic was more like a pre release before Ice Cream Cake.
Also they couldn't promote Psycho when it got out because not long after it was release,Wendy got badly hurt at a end of the year awards show (the whole show was a mess because a lot of other idols got hurt or almost hurt because the safety was bad)
I tried to listen to KPOP at early 40, can't find anything that would keep me liking them. Then i stopped listening to KPOP for a long time. Then BTS & BP made lots of noise, listen to them not until I bumped into RV after seeing friendship of Irene and Jennie. So I checked Red Velvet and the rest is history. I have almost 200 song from both RV and their member's singles, a 9 hour playlist in my Spotify and they are the only KPOP group I have in my playlist.
There’s no other group in kpop doing what they do, there are UNIQUE. They deserve so much more, that’s a fact
Why am I looking forward to their Zimzalabim reaction more than Psycho lol? Can't wait!
I’ve been a luvie for many years now and “automatic” is still my favorite red velvet song, but of course, with tons of others following closely behind. just… a little too good! 😮💨
regarding the b-side exploration, I can’t wait to suggest them for each album after the week is over! hopefully luvies will come together and request not only their favorite songs (since, of course, tastes vary) but also songs that showcase each album. if we are able to suggest two, that would probably fit in most fan favorites as well.
I also loved what you said about being here for the music. I mentioned in another comment before that red velvet is the only group I actively follow, and that is first and foremost for the music. I listen to red velvet on the daily, along with whatever other album or artist (k-pop or otherwise) I might be into at the moment, but red velvet is just in constant rotation for me for their artistry, so I continue to follow and support them! that aside, they also have a fun presence outside of the music, so that’s just a bonus! that being said, I think you would enjoy their recording behinds (unfortunately, they only have a couple) as well as concert videos.
I’m just very excited for the future of red velvet on your channel, I’ve been dying for it! 😭 love y’all! 💖
I totally get what she meant by she wants more. I feel like I NEED THE WORLD TO KNOW WHO RED VELVET IS. And I mean all 8billion people, every single one.
OH MY GOODNESS YES YES!! First of all Yay we got justice for Automatic it really is a great song, Secondly you guys need to check out the albums, the Japanese MVs/Albums, and you should DEFINITELY check out Wendy's album she went crazy on there! I just got to say about Zimzalabim I LOVE it there are a lot of people that hate it or really like it I guess it depends on the person/or the mood of the person but it really is one of the cult songs (Join the Luvies), Umpah Umpah is another Summer bop I can't help but smile and kind of dance to it and not only that but the visuals and vocals on there was AMAZING (though I think one of my favorite parts was the rap where they referenced their songs, plus Irene's baby was just lethal), Psycho was just ICONIC they should have definitely won especially with what happened to Wendy I'm just glad that she's back happy and healthy again I also think that it was definitely her era (the white hair, the Vocals, her outfits, just everything was amazing) just everything about it was WOW, and Automatic is just AMAZING it's not my favorite from them but it certainly was great and like I said I feel so bad for whoever tried to get to know them in that MV especially since Wendy looked very different to me like WOW and then the blonde hair (seriously I don't know who's era it was maybe Seulgi or Yeri not sure!) Anyways I can't wait for you guys to react to more Red Velvet such as more Music Videos, B - Sides, Live Performances, Covers, Dance Practices, Moments, and of course Ships! I can't wait for more Content from you guys and I hope that you both are doing well and staying safe and healthy!
P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out with that if you need it, also I was just jamming to Psycho when I looked up for a second I just saw Esosa crying I mean same though! 🤣😂
Feel the same about RV's popularity, been extolling them from the rooftops to deaf ears mostly. Fave B-sides : In and Out, So good, Milkshake, You never Know, Knock on Wood, Pushing and Pullin, Sunny side up, LP, I just, Oh boy.
no because i literally understand that feeling while listening to psycho, it's saurrr good
All albums, all Bsides, RV has no bad songs… They have the greatest discography in all K-pop if not all music and that’s not my opinion… kinda facts🤷🏼♂️ Billboard: RV is The Greatest Idol Group Alive!!! The Perfect Group Period.
This is why billboard call them "Best Idol Group Alive"
Esosa hit it right in the head. Critics have constantly praised Red Velvet's enunciation. It's like when you're listening to RV songs you're also submitted to a Korean language class.
Yes someone finally said that they deserve more 😢😢❤❤….they are popular but not popular as much they deserve and really hope one day they will be at top groups because these songs are masterpieces
YES EXACTLY! I love the way you’re falling in love with them. they really are amazing, their b-sides are just GOLD. their discography is god tier
I can't wait to see u listening to their bsides 😭😭some of their bsides will make you levitate I'm telling you, they have the best discography in kpop, periodt*😤like their albums are non-skip.... like how can you have such a good releases
Psycho really is that song, one of the best kpop songs of all time without a doubt
“[frustratingly] how did they’re not dominating!!” felt that as reveluv since their debut era.
Red Velvet's bsides are definitely worth listening to - especially with earphones! It's like honey melting in your ear.
girl no, bc i started crying during psycho too. the "hey now, we'll be ok" was the final straw
I feel you Sosa 🥺 I get goosies everytime I hear Psycho it’s so beautiful. Something about that song feels so full especially in your headphones. Giiiiiiirl you aren’t ready! I’m loving this series from y’all ☺️
Editing this to add - nobody is doing R&B like Red Velvet. Y’all should check out Kingdom Come it’s like the fan favorite. My fav from their new Japanese album Bloom is Marionette & I love love love their other Japanese songs too! They have mv’s for some ❤️ I’ve been a Reveluv but y’all are getting me super excited 😆😂 I know you’re going to love what you find when you dig more.
I have absolutely adored watching your Red Velvet journey. I have always thought for the longest time that Red Velvet hands down have the most superior girl group discography and there’s no question about that. Their ability to pull off any concept handed to them speaks to their versatility as artists and am especially a huge fan of their velvet material. It makes me so happy to see reactors actually react to their music and not just the music videos and visuals… their music is trascendental. If you react to more of their b-sides, please begin with their earlier albums… I’ve listed a few of my favourite b-sides from each of their earliest projects. Hope you can check them out and thank you so much for praising them with the accolades they deserve but aren’t always known for. SM struck gold with this group and continue to produce the smoothest R&B hits that new fans do not appreciate. Red Velvet have a bank full of songs amongst some of the silkiest R&B yet at times quirky upbeat pop ear worms and they’re so good at what they do.
The 1st Mini Album ‘Ice Cream Cake’ - EP (Something Kinda Crazy & Take It Slow)
The Red - The 1st Album (Oh Boy, Time Slip & Cool World)
The Velvet - The 2nd Mini Album (Cool Hot Sweet Love & First Time)
Russian Roulette - The 3rd Mini Album (Sunday Afternoon)
Rookie - The 4th Mini Album (Little Little)
The best b-side from every album ? that is hard 🥹
Lmao fr 🤕
Let's gooo can't wait for the B-side reactions, cuz they're just a whole different animal when it comes to their B-side tracks
Listening to Red Velvet's whole discography is honestly a MUSICAL JOURNEY!!!!!!
Love the RV series. I have not even a year of listening to kpop and already I'll fight anyone who says Red Velvet is not one of the all time greats. Forget South Korea I'm talking global. It's a crime they aren't household names in the US. America has no idea what music is anymore. The vocals, the attitude, the creativity. Red Velvet is art.
🔝 He gets it and he isn’t even in the game long either 👏🏾 it’s actual art!
@@DifferentlyAlike I share kpop with everyone I know. Got some 👀 👀 at first but they're coming around. Red Velvet always gets a great reaction from people. It's about the next level songwriting, the pristine production, the visual wow factor of performers at the top of their game hitting notes and bars and choreo. Concepts that take you places you didn't know you wanted to go. I'm a lifelong fan of music from classical to jazz to hip hop, metal, electronic, mainstream and underground. I'm saying, kpop is the pinnacle of pop music and Red Velvet has a spot at the top with the greats.
I feel the frustration too because the red velvet deserves MORE. Big not only in kpop, but WORLDWIDE
100% agree that you guys should react to one album at a time because they need to be experienced as a whole!!
You definitely need to watch a video of Automatic performance at the La Rouge concert, they wore suits, it was just perfect.
B-sides i would recommend (after deliberating SO HARD):
- Eyes Locked, Hands Locked (soft rnb kinda like The Pussycat Dolls’ Stick Wit U w/a lot of harmonies and vocal layering)
- Perfect 10 (another slow rnb with harmonies bec. Red Velvet)
- Kingdom Come (you CANNOT spell Red Velvet without vocal harmonies & layering)
- Sassy Me (simple & fun but holy fuck VOCAL FRY)
- In My Dreams (hauntingly sweet but will for sure go straight to your playlist)
- Bamboleo (if you’re a fan of modern music incorporated with 80s-90s vibe)
- Pose (it’s like those beauty pageant/runway type of song with a lil retro flavor)
thank you for considering! love this series so much 💙 -a fan from the philippines
you got me tearin up when you said red velvet deserves more bc they definitely do 😭😭
It so hard to pick one best song for every album, because all of it so good,u wont regret☺️
B sides for Red Velvet are Title Tracks for most artists.
I am here for week 2 of Red Velvet! You will LOVE their B-sides. Kingdom Come will annihilate your souls. I remember back on 2017 when Twice blew up, I was saying how Red Velvet were infinitely the better girl group with no shade to Twice at all. But... How can you deny how insanely incredible the RV discography is?? I'm almost sad that you guys are discovering this now but also, glad you are! SM girl groups are ELITE.
its literally 3am here and i waited for this to come up. looking forward for more 😄😄
Red velvet is one of the only kpop groups where I genuinely only skip maybe 2-3 songs out of their entire 120+ track discography. You're completely right, being big in kpop isn't enough for how talented they are. Everyone and their mum should be listening to Red Velvet. The world would be a better place
same. but I skip because I'm too excited to listen to the next song because all the songs get better every time I listen to it. listening in order or in ahuffle, doesn't matter. everything is great.
I didn't get Zimzalabim at first, but then i saw Red velvet said that you have to listen it in the concert. That's when i fall in love with this song.
It's such a concert-banger!!
Since then I can't help bouncing and shaking my head off every time i hear Zimzalabim~
esosa crying at psycho is such a mood 😭
Automatic is a great B-side song and one of my favorites, but Red Velvet has so many b-sides that are just as good or even better. I recommend that you listen to all their songs and judge for yourself.
for some reason i really REALLY loved zimzalabim and was actually shocked to know it was a hated on song.....
Ohhhh yessss justice for Automatic 😍 you guys are very much welcomed into the out of body experience that are Red Velvet's b-sides 😏
-ESOSA'S FACE DURING ALL OF "ZIMZALABIM" IS LITERALLY ALL OF US THE FIRST TIME. This song was SUUUUUPER DIVISIVE, much like "Rookie" because it was so hyper experimental. I literally finished it and went "IGAB PART 2 OK SM. OK." That fucking Tokyo Drift cowbell and zipper bass bro. I'm so mad at their stylists for this MV and their stage promotions...Did them SO DIRTY...WENDY'S HIGH NOTE IS EVERYTHING DUDE.
-So "Umpah Umpah" I guess is supposed to translate to the sound that you make as you come up for a breath of air after being underwater, equating to the freshness of a new relationship or something like that. I vibe so much with the choreography, and the like 1950's vibe-ish. ALSO ANY TIME WE GET BLONDE YERI IS A GOOD FUCKING TIME. And Wendy with the blonde extensions, bro. That was a VIBE. Irene is "The Original Visual" for a reason.
-"Psycho" was a hard time for us Reveluvs because it released and then almost immediately after Wendy's accident happened. Wendy, being my bias and one of my ult. biases that hit me hard. I cried. A lot. Like, this song though, it so deeply and accurately explained the feeling and vibe I was dealing with over a very recent break up. "Psycho" is another one of those MOSTLY velvet vibes but kind of has a little bit of encompassing of both styles. ALSO WHEN YOU LISTEN TO IT AND "FEEL MY RHYTHM" ON SPOTIFY BE PREPARED TO BE SO FUCKING MAD BECAUSE IT IS /NOT/ THE SAME FULL FUCKING INSTRUMENTALS THAT THE MV HAS WHICH IS TOTAL BULLSHITTTTTTTTTTT. Also Esosa's tears make perfect sense because BROOOOOO THE FIRST TIME I LISTENED TO THIS SONG SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME. I COULD NOT STOP IT. I WAS LIKE I AM PERFECTLY FINE WHY AM I CRYING.
-"Automatic" was a track I MAD Overlooked when first getting into RV, and has since sat hovering in my top 10 or top 15 tracks.
TOKYO DRIFT COWBELL!!!!!! OH MY GOD YOU JUST MADE ME CONNECT TWO DOTS I'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT
@@seid_1068 BAHAHAHAHAHA
the way i’ve my list of bsides from their albums ready for you to react to right now 😭😭😭 but irene taught us to wait with respect so ill respectfully wait for you to drop the community post once the week is over 🥹🥹
Funny that you mentioned the table, it is (comically) referred to as the last Red Velvet member. Red Velvet loves a table moment in their MVs
"I don't understand their popularity, its too little" THANK YOU
Red Velvet got me into kpop last October. I watched Joy's dramas and fell in love with her voice and decided to check out her music. I wish they were bigger than they are, but they are definitely the best group. I've heard a few songs that I've liked from other groups, but no one is topping RV or making me want to listen to more music from them. Red Velvet are one of a kind.
Zimzalabim was the first title track I blasted on my bluetooth speaker. It had my hold house shaking. Loved it.
I loved that you love Umpah Umpah. It's my favorite summer song of theirs.
Psycho is a good song. I actually heard it the first time through a reaction video right during the time the tiktok was popular. Thankfully, I don't go on TikTok so it wasn't ruined.
Automatic is one of my favorite. When I first heard it, I thought Babyface produced it.
It took me back to the 90s. Narrowing down those b-sides is going to be tough.
When music is good is good ...
This will be my line for the rest of this year
wholeheartedly agree that red velvet deserves way more recognition and appreciation!
Gurl! We luvies can't even choose one or two songs per album! Coz all of their bsides is FCKING BOP TOO!!! YOU SHOULD PUT A POLLS 😍😭
the reason why red velvet is addictive is the almighty Zimzalabim, people maybe hate the song at first, and then comes the Best Bridge of the Kpop. y'all can't help but listen to this all over again.
You both are gonna have a heart attack listening to their Bsides because red velvet Bsides are arguably the best in Kpop. Definitely suggest Perfect 10 and Kingdom come!
y’all watching these two ladies’ reaction to the vocal harmonies of Automatic, i CANNOT wait to see their reaction when they listen to Perfect 10, Eyes Locked Hands Locked, and Kingdom Come sjjsjsk
I totally agree with you, GIVE RV MORE ! They deserve more recognition for the talent they have
Ya seulgi is different, i love her sooo much. She is my kpop bias, not just redvelvet or girl group bias, but KPOP BIAS!!
When you cried, I remembered how this was remembered as SOTY tier song for a lot of non-reveluvs but for reveluvs it is more of a COMFORT song more particlarpy bc of the "Hey now we'll be okay" outro.
You guys can do reaction to Time To Love, Kingdom Come, You Better Know, So Good, Ladies Night for B-sides reaction. There are much more than these haha
But if it’s the same album… maybe The Perfect Red Velvet album 😂
Fun Fact: automatic is actually the song that sold a lot of people on red velvet. I talked abt it in my comment on the day 2 reaction but a lot of ppl weren’t happy when red velvet debuted but when they came out with this (and ice cream cake) they fully bought in.
Nah psycho making you cry killed me 😂 ( me too tho )
exaclyyy red velvet deservessss to be at the fvcking top
Can't wait till you hear The Perfect Red Velvet. It's a masterpiece. They are known as B-side Queens for a reason.
I thought the reaction part was the best but then i got into the podcast part and guuurrlll do i live for it!!!! The whole rant on the podcast part is true! I agree with everything!!!!! Esosa speaking facts! It's indeed saddening that they're not as big as they're suppose to. These girls deserve to have world recognition and fame.
I cried too the first time listening to Psycho, it was during a time I was in a very toxic relationship and I kept telling myself "hey now, we'll be okay" and then listening to this it's almost like they're trying to repeat it until they believe it will be okay and that's exactly how I felt that time. I was crying on my way home from work hahahaha
It's hard not to fall for Red Velvet, and once you get to the bsides...yeah, you'll fall even harder.
I really love you two especially the way Esosa think that Red Velvet deserve more than what they get is just like what i always say and wanted for them!!!!!!!! they deserve everything and all the love and support!!!!!!! so happy that i found this channel
Love this series I really enjoyed discovering rv with y’all 😄
There is something in Psycho its extremely good, that song hits you pretty hard
You are not the only one who cried when Psycho finished, precious! I also did. It's just, when a melody takes you places with absolutely etherial vocals, I feel it inside my soul and it makes me cry. It's a masterpiece and an art piece. So happy to see I'm not the only one who cries when music is so freaking good! :)
There is no such a thing as the best every album beside 😂💔 their albums are masterpieces with no skips.
I AGREE! Red Velvet deserve more!❤
Time for an Umpah Umpah obscure theory!! Umpah umpah is kind of like a breathing technique parents teach their kinds when they learn swimming. So for the Red Velvet girls to guide the distorted male voice to breath off rythm (umpah-pah) for the whole song... yet another man sacrificed for the Red Velvet cult, this time by drowning.
EDIT: oh and about the question of how they are not dominating, RV are known for releasing whatever song they feel like releasing, not following trends and just coming out with the weirdest songs at the time. People normally want consistency, so they either favour their Velvet side and shit on every Red song they release or get thrown off with songs like Zimzalabim, Rookie or RBB.
For instance, Automatic was called boring AF until a full year later when they released One of These Nights, (you need to know how of a risky move that was, for a rookie girl group to come back with a ballad for a title track barely in the second year of their career. To this day, only two idol groups can out of it, Big Bang and BtoB), then everybody and their moms where singing Automatic's praises and how they wanted another song like it.
Of course the Reveluv fandom is much smaller than say Onces or Blinks, but RV are really beloved by the general public, especially after songs like Russian Roulette and Red Flavour. But it wasn't until Bad Boy and Psycho that the fandom started to grow, seeing as these songs where and still are the "token" girl group songs every kpop fan obsesses about.
red velvet's r&b tracks go insaneee
