I think they should be careful with releasing their next song, because baam and bboom bboom sound so much alike. Hope they wont fall into the "one hit wonder" category. I mean even the dance is similar. Looking forward to them experimenting with new concepts!
I don’t think they will. EXID had their first hit song “Up & Down” and followed that very similar sound with “Ah Yeah” then after that, since they now secured that huge fan base, they can try more styles
Chaeyeon UA-cam videos don’t really matter in korea if they want to chart well I can see see Momoland Bboom Bboom to be just a one hit wonder even though I’m a fan of momoland
They could easily become the 3rd gen T-ara with the catchy dances and bases. I think they should be less afraid of releasing a different song because they already have the fanbase. I'm afraid that their next song will be beem or bboom bboom steve aoki's remix, that will make them just a one hit wonder.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thinking they could be the next T-ara, but that's only if their producers give them another sound. If their next release is Bboom Bboom 3.0 people will definitely lose interest. The next song will determine whether or not they can live up to the hype.
i came to say exactly the same about T-ara, lovey dovey vibes ♫ btw " I'm afraid that their next song will be beem or bboom bboom steve aoki's remix" LOL
I love and dislike this song at the same time because i expected something else but honestly I'm really curious if Momoland's next comeback is gonna be completely different or similar to Bboom Bboom/Baam
i'm betting that it'll be different next time!! especially with the feedback being as critical as it was this time, it's extreeeemely unlikely that they'll risk it again
I'm betting on the next one being something really different. They pretty much rose from obscurity to promoting a runaway hit for FOUR MONTHS STRAIGHT. That's so huge - I was always curious with this one as to how they were gonna approach it. Play it safe or take a chance. I don't blame them at all for playing it safe and entrench themselves while they're in the public eye - plenty of time to show diversity once they're more established.
N Everyone talks about the costumes, but the thing is, the girls probably didn’t get a say on what they were wearing in the MV. The stylists and director pretty much decide that for them.
Thank you, this was the best reaction that I have ever seen. I see a lot of people defending the costumes because their "bias are using them" I was so happy when I saw the flag of Mexico but the wardrobe made me cringe, everything would have been perfect if the company had done a little research about the clothing of each country at least. At the end is not MOMOLAND fault, it's not like they can choose what to wear.
Kinda sad that their concept is basically fun for the whole world, going international, appreciating other culture, yet they can't spot the difference between traditional Mexican poncho with African Dashiki top. The whole company and the group is doing bad on their cultural research lol. And btw, that corny dance on the bridge part, lots of people in social media pointed out it looks like the alien dance thing, like, idk how to describe it but it was a video of an bad-decent alien dancing, and it was exactly like that. Dont know if it was a nod to that or they just rip it off casually.
And I agree, it doesnt sounds like bbom bbom, but the structure, the way they make it, really sounds like the same. But again, the producer is the same. I just feel that after all of the bad rumors and things from their bbom bbom comeback, Baam now suffer the same.
Jonathan Hasiholan when you go to google there are thousands stereotypical mexican costumes, they could easily buy one that didn't mix culutures, idk how they could not actually see their mistake.
Ciellistium I dont think they care that much. This is not a bash to the girls, this is a bash to the company and the staff and the stylist. They dont give a fluff about this thing. They dont even commit 100% to the concept, so I doubt that they even do real research. Like the France theme... the company cant even hire proper stylist to style the wig to fit to their head. It's kinda weird because it feels like they try really hard to make this a thing, where in Bbom Bbom they make it corny in purpose, the ads thingy.
Ciellistium they look similar but I agree they should’ve done better on research like I could see the similarity but after a second look they are difference.
I mean okay the concept is international and they wore like traditional ancient clothing for some part of the world. But they were female clothing...why did they go for a male one for the Mexican?? They could have wore a Mexican beautiful dress. I seen them all the time on TV and I found them really beautiful. Why didn’t they go with that?? They wouldn’t have offended anyone with a Mexican dress and no mustache smh
To be fair tho, the rap style gambino used in this is America is quite a common rap flow in trap music, u can see a video of snoop dogg copying it easily when he's mocking trap rappers.
Lol the beat is supposed to be that way, it's called the triplet flow, you can Google search it, vox even made a short documentary video about it. Also btw this is America was copied off another song, that's how damn common the triplet flow is.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said in this video. I just really hated how they used an African dashiki to try to imitate Mexican culture and also using a sombrero and mustache like just...I sigh. And with the song too, I absolutely love the chorus, a lot better than Bboom Bboom actually, but the rest of the song just really puts me off since it’s exactly like Bboom Bboom, but lazier.
So there is no humour in your culture? It is light hearted and is not meant to cause any harm yet everyone plays the victim saying wow this is super offensive when it's really not
In terms of structure yeah, this and Bboom Bboom are identical. In terms of sound I found it similar to Doo Doom Chit by Crayon Pop, which I much prefer to this song.
guys. for all the people who are saying, "I'm a ______ and I didn't get offended!" are you guys the sole ones representing your race? no? then stop acting like you are. some people may get offended, and that's fine. let them be offended. it's literally no harm for them to be offended unless they are trying to sabotage momoland in some way. so just leave them alone. and same goes for the other side too. for the people who got offended, don't hate on momoland. don't hate on anyone actually. but if you feel that angry and hurt over a few outfits and you feel the need to hate on somebody, hate on the production team and not on momoland. momoland did nothing to you guys. their production team was probably behind everything, so take your hate and direct it towards them. and for those who say, "well momoland could've researched better and they could've said something!" well do you think they have the time for that? preparing for a comeback takes lots of time. practising the dance, getting in shape, fliming the video, dieting, training and they have very little time for sleep anyways. and I'm betting that they would rather get some precious rest than research something they think that the production team already researched well enough. and even if they did research something, they have actually very little say over their outfits in MVs anyways. sOrRy I just had to rant after seeing some comments. momoland doesn't deserve some of these comments at all.
Thank you so much for reacting and breaking down ‘Baam’. You are absolutely correct in everything you said. You are my favorite reactor on the Tube PD. ❤️❤️❤️
I understand that they want to make another Bboom Bboom and yeah Baam suffered because of that. It's a damn shame, but if Baam are playing somewhere I would still dance and sing to it!
BAAM has a more addictive chorus. But overall, Bboom Bboom is a better song imo. The rap part fits the song well and the Yeonwoo bridge works out. BAAM reminds me of some of Shinsadsong's old works with T-ara, like Number 9 and Sugar Free. The chorus seems more vibrant and addictive like Shinsadong's usual EDM-heavy style. The downfall of BAAM is pretty much everywhere else. The verses are weak, but that is also prevalent with a lot of the popular T-ara songs he's done. The rap part also doesn't really fit the song
lemons I actually like the part Ahin does Too. I think if they would’ve put more effort into changing the set up and the rap the song would’ve been better
i didn't like the video at all. it wasn't too problematic, but there were a few parts that shouldn't be there, especially in 2018. i love the song a lot. even if it does have the same structure as bboom bboom, it's a really good song. the only part i didn't really care for was daisy's rap. i think the mv would've been a lot better if they made it a roller disco theme or something like that. on their mnet stage, it was really cool how the lighting changed with their shoes as well. i don't know, the mv was just extremely boring to me and the dance should've been shown a lot more.
3:10 is where he sorta addresses that costume. it's a bit... much. it could be offensive to hispanic audiences. i saw some people in the comments that were disappointed, as well as people from other cultures who weren't fans of the music video. i'm not personally offended, but i don't think that was smart. it's not the first time something like this happened in kpop, and i guarantee it won't be the last, even though there's been backlash by intl audiences each time.
As someone who is supposed to be offended by the costumes (Mexican) I'm not. I honestly found it hilarious and as a Hyebin bias it only added to it for me.
i know it wasn't supposed to be taken seriously or be offensive to any culture, they were having fun. but some people aren't so forgiving. if you are from a culture that was represented in the video and you weren't offended, that's great. but they need to stop doing this in the industry. they should play it way safer.
i don't know much about culture appropriation, but i saw some people calling it that. i wouldn't use such a strong claim, but all i said was that it could be found as offensive depending on the person watching. it's all about perspective and personal beliefs. to make sure no one has a problem, it's better to leave out things like that.
people who think this song is a clone of bboom bboom are missing the point its not like the producers were lazy and thought they'd get away with it, baam is supposed to be a follow up to bboom bboom literally: bboom bboom baam
I think that many people get the idea that it's intentionally similar and that it's supposed to be a follow up but it doesn't feels like a good idea to do a similar follow up to 'BBoom BBoom'.. it would have been better to surprise people with something different and new.. to show that they can do more.
It still doesn’t really show a creative side tho. They could’ve made the chorus similar and changed up everything else but they literally did EVERYTHING the same, even the order of Adlibs and who things in what order
We get it tho, don't underestimate us. We just think they could've kept the same feeling of bboom bboom without having exact same estructure of the song and choreography.
It's so funny that Bboom Bboom was kind of like an anthem in the Philippines it is very popular then they released Baam and it still got the same hype as Bboom Bboom 😂 They loved it
This is why I love your channel PD. They way you discuss on a reaction is just so intellectual. The song is catchy but i can't watch the MV on repeat because of the same reason you said.
i think this is like bbom bbom but a lil upgraded like many places and things to see and theyre encouraging that theyre glad of their own culture theyre putting theyre heart into it but some people say its bboom bboom 2.0 but its super catchy when someone plays it
Glad to see the amount of effort and work you put into this videos! (KCON NY is in my hometown )😍 Mamoland is trying to appeal to the mainstream audience and I am glad they did.
Controversial comparisons always arise when a group makes a comeback after coming off a smash hit. Although Baam has certain signature hip/arm sways and structure with Bboom Bboom, the production and music are quite different and distinct. Baam has a more vibrant, energetic, and faster upbeat continuous from start to end. Both have their funky, weird, and catchy renditions....typical Momo-nesque style. They are great MV's and I believe Baam will be another hit and just as strong as Bboom Bboom ... an amazing feat from a small agency.
When one of the girls is wearing the Mexican clothing with the moustache the camera zooms in, and if you look at her shirt, it seems to be an African traditional shirt...😨
I really like watching the dance practises for both songs as the choreography stands out with the song. Perhaps reacting to them will make this better.
The same producer that worked on bboom bboom also did baam (I’m not sure of his name) but this producer is known for releasing very similar sounding songs after the first one becomes a hit Eg. He produced EXIDs up and down and ah yeah, they two hits that established their popularity Also produced t-aras lovey dovey and rolly poly I believe that gained them fame
Considering that I saw the early teaser photos, as a fan of momoland, I really thought they were going for a different vibe or concept for a music video. I actually had an idea for it: So it begins with a shot of the members talking and just finding a place to relax after their shooting of bboom bboom. Mind you they are still wearing what they wore at bboom bboom. So they found this roller skating place and decided to just hang out there. When they went in, it felt different but looked like a normal rink. Three of the members gave it a try and when the other members were finished tying up their roller skating shoes, the other three disappeared. The rest of them tried to follow them by going in to the rink. Then a bright light swallowed them and when they opened their eyes, the roller skating rink became some sort of "access" to see the whole world. Like they could tour different landmarks and what not. After having fun they saw a dancefloor where many flags are erected around it and an arch saying "welcome momoland" and then baam! (no pun intended) the music video starts. And at the end, after dancing they go back to the real world and look back at the roller skating place. They look at one another and gives the audience a look at the different members wearing different accessories or costumes from different countries. Idk this could've been a much better concept. Like there is an actual story to it. But the MV is already released so we can't do anything about that :)
Thanks so much for putting your opinion on MOMOLAND - BAAM , you’re really good at putting everything into words. You really put lots of insight and used your knowledge of things (on the video production). I enjoy listening to your opinion it’s not highly biased. :) Do you think you would have liked the videography if it was kind of like Holiday - SNSD style video? With the whole party theme. I think I would’ve loved it if they chose that. Thanks for making your videos and I wish I could support your patreon so instead I like all ya stuff and share your video with friends and on social media! (My friends who aren’t even Kpop fans enjoy your insight on music videos lol and find ur voice calming)
This mv played a lot to their fan base, the Philippines flag, good shots of Yeonwoo and Nancy, Vietnam, swaying hips etc. they made sure these were in to boost fan base. I like baam a lot, it's boom boom on steroids.
People are still hating on BAAM while violeta is also a carbon copy of la vie en rose, kill this love is a carbon copy of DDU-DU DDU-DU, solo is a carbon copy of gashina, adios is a carbon copy of kill this love…
I suggest looking into the selfie music video for this song. I think it’s more playful and fun, like the song itself. Plus close ups of all the cute members.
Im hesitant to stan Momoland due to Nancy and i blocked the sombrero and mustache from my memory... I was hoping for latin representation, maybe with mexican dresses ( which i forgot the official names, which is colorful and has ruffles) and then saw... That. Despite that, i love everything that pd said and i agree on everything that he said
tooearlyforapril there are also female mariachi outfits as well , which are really cool! But I can’t hold too much of a gripe against them really. Let’s just hope next time works out better.
The Album Title is "Fun to the World" and that's what they tried to portray in the Music Video. If you will just watch the Music Video without knowing about the album concept you'll obviously think it's out of place. And if you see the album cover, they actually have a lot of flags of countries where they have a huge fanbase. I kinda disagree with the verses being weak cause I feel that they are more upbeat compared to Bboom Bboom which was a long build up to the chorus. I enjoy BAAM overall better than Bboom Bboom because of the progression of the song. But thanks for your unbias opinion. Definitely one of the best I've seen. Keep up the good work!
gstar47 the thing is, not everyone is a fan. Like me for example, it's very important how the title track will be portrayed in order of being interested in checking the rest of the album. If the title track is weak, I will have 0 interest in their other music. Simple as that. You shouldn't assume that everyone will catch the concept because some people are occasional listeners. I was interested in them after bboom bboom but not enough to be a fan, and now with this song, they totally lost me. Their company should focus on getting better and offer quality so they can keep the fan base that they earned and also, gain more fans. But doing copy paste and then messing up with the concept of the mv (which I definitely find problematic since my country is involved in this mess) I think they don't want to success
Ki Ka I'm not sure what country you are from so I wouldn't understand why you would be offended by the music video. But everyone in the fandom was very happy to see that their country was represented in the music video. Im quite sure that Momoland's fanbase is like 50% Filipinos. That 2 seconds where Nancy wave the Philippines Flag was enough for everyone to be so thankful that Momoland acknowledged that they have a huge Filipino fanbase. But of course that didn't mean there was no controversy, casual Filipinos thinks that Momoland was just fawning towards Filipinos to have an even bigger fanbase and some even claiming that Nancy waiving the Filipino flag was against the law (which totally was not). So it's really up to you if you will get offended or like them for the effort they put in making their fans happy cause they are a genuine group who loves their fans. Remember they are not that popular in Korea and having this huge international fanbase makes them happy cause they're work is actually being appreciated by someone.
Besides the whole concept of "Fun to the World", I also really dislike the MV, it's unpleasing to watch, it feels old-fashioned in the worst way possible. I also disagree with the verses being weak, I honestly feel like they're even better than Bboom Bboom's. The only thing I really dislike about Baam is that horrible, just hooorrible, rap part. It totally ruins the whole song for me, sadly. Bboom Bboom's rap part wasn't great either, but I got used to it.
gstar47 I'm not sure where the other person is from, but I was a bit put off on the Mexican "representation" in the video. I'm from Mexico myself and it made me sad to see that the other countries had such elegant and pretty dresses and outfits to represent their country, while we got a sombrero, a fake mustache and a shirt that isn't even Mexican. I appreciate the attempt but it sucks that that's what they chose for Mexico, considering we have beautiful traditional dresses that could have been used.
Mauro Madera I actually gotten used to the rap part. Bboom Bboom was such a slow build up song and the rap part complimented that being fast paced. In BAAM's case the lines are being delivered at a more upbeat pace and they slowed it down at the rap part to take an actual break. Remember BAAM is a more dance oriented song than Bboom Bboom is.
I just watch this vid by now, and I agree that both songs have the EXACT SAME structure, so it's so easy to make mashups from both of them, just like my mashup vid on my channel XD
I like how this channel reacts to baam objectively not like the other channel where they just go straight into that sh*t saying that it is a copy of Bboom Bboom.
I agree that the structures are exactly the same; people argue that there is nothing similar about the two because they don’t sound the same, but I believe songs can still be similar without sounding the same.
The girls have so much talent and potential tbh, and i think if the song structure and choreo was a little different, i definitely would've loved the song more.
I miss this non-LOONA reactions PD! Keep it going! PS: Oh btw! NU'EST W just had a comeback with "Dejavu", you might want to look at it :D Also, A.C.E. also had one entitled "Take Me Higher", you'll be shocked about this one if you compare it with their previous songs. Kim Dong Han of JBJ also had one entitled "Sunset", a bit of Taemin vibes in here and I'm seeing a male Chungha in him. That's it. This was great reaction PD!
I think the same way as you. It does not sound anything like Bboom Bboom. What makes people think it's Bboom Bboom is the structure. As far as for the rest idk what to think about it because I don't really know much about music. All I know is that I love Bboom Bboom as much (or maybe a little more) than Baam. Edit: also the dance you aid was corny is a part of the dance that green alien frog thing dances xD
so glad he reacted to it first as what it was and not just as a copy of bboom bboom
IKR same. I personally prefer it to Bboom Bboom and don’t like how people keep saying they’re a copy of each other just to hate on them.
Fujoshi Chan i mean, it IS a copy. I like both songs (Boom Boom's rap part and breakdown was better but I like Baams point dance more)
The structure is very similar but the sound is different. It’s not that hard to get.
Fujoshi Chan I'm too lazy to list everything but the beginning is the same if I do remember correctly
please don’t refer to pd by male pronouns
I think they should be careful with releasing their next song, because baam and bboom bboom sound so much alike. Hope they wont fall into the "one hit wonder" category. I mean even the dance is similar. Looking forward to them experimenting with new concepts!
Signe møller there doing fine 21million views In 1 week.
Signe møller I agree
imagine them doing something like bang bang next, I would be deceased
I don’t think they will. EXID had their first hit song “Up & Down” and followed that very similar sound with “Ah Yeah” then after that, since they now secured that huge fan base, they can try more styles

They could easily become the 3rd gen T-ara with the catchy dances and bases. I think they should be less afraid of releasing a different song because they already have the fanbase. I'm afraid that their next song will be beem or bboom bboom steve aoki's remix, that will make them just a one hit wonder.
Jose Corn i agree!!! they can easily sneek into the top girl groups right now.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thinking they could be the next T-ara, but that's only if their producers give them another sound. If their next release is Bboom Bboom 3.0 people will definitely lose interest. The next song will determine whether or not they can live up to the hype.
They dont exactly have a strong fanbase though
i came to say exactly the same about T-ara, lovey dovey vibes ♫ btw
" I'm afraid that their next song will be beem or bboom bboom steve aoki's remix" LOL
steve aoki remix i cant lmaoo
I love and dislike this song at the same time because i expected something else but honestly I'm really curious if Momoland's next comeback is gonna be completely different or similar to Bboom Bboom/Baam

um...momoland Showcase interview : next song new Genre
I'm betting on the next one being something really different. They pretty much rose from obscurity to promoting a runaway hit for FOUR MONTHS STRAIGHT. That's so huge - I was always curious with this one as to how they were gonna approach it. Play it safe or take a chance. I don't blame them at all for playing it safe and entrench themselves while they're in the public eye - plenty of time to show diversity once they're more established.
Pufek it'll be different next time.. they established their popularity
Pufek veryvery should‘ve been the main track
I don't mind a similar vibe, but baam is basically a recycled version of Bboom Bboom ( very similar arrangement ) also some of the customs were .....
Also it so similar with Crayon Pop - Do Doom Chi.
N Everyone talks about the costumes, but the thing is, the girls probably didn’t get a say on what they were wearing in the MV. The stylists and director pretty much decide that for them.
Im SoStupid yeah , it’s none of the girls fault for sure!
@@imsostupid5539 actually, the album name was fun to the world, so their company put all the custom of some country. it makes sense
Thank you, this was the best reaction that I have ever seen. I see a lot of people defending the costumes because their "bias are using them" I was so happy when I saw the flag of Mexico but the wardrobe made me cringe, everything would have been perfect if the company had done a little research about the clothing of each country at least.

Am I the only one who doesn't care that the two songs are similar because I love them both uniquely?
And the rap reminds me of This Is America from Childish Gambino
To be fair tho, the rap style gambino used in this is America is quite a common rap flow in trap music, u can see a video of snoop dogg copying it easily when he's mocking trap rappers.
it's not just the flow itself, it's the beat too. it's WAY too similar
ToTally Indeed that's what I meant
Lol the beat is supposed to be that way, it's called the triplet flow, you can Google search it, vox even made a short documentary video about it. Also btw this is America was copied off another song, that's how damn common the triplet flow is.
That's the exact same beat. You can overlap this is america to baam's rap part and you would hear it like they translated this is america to hangeul.
Showing Nancy face in 70% of the mv is their cinematography style.

Kam the Trash Can I feel you with the "mexican" costume... disappointed AF
It was meant to be funny...
ahh liberals and their cultural appropriation
FuRy Is cultural appropriation funny? Are stereotypes funny? My culture is not supposed to be funny, ever; nor any other culture.
So there is no humour in your culture? It is light hearted and is not meant to cause any harm yet everyone plays the victim saying wow this is super offensive when it's really not
I'd like to see a reaction to Kim Dong Han's "Sunset". That song is soooo nice.
YESSS😭💜😭
I agree!😍
BBOOM BBOOM verses + BAAM chorus... The perfect song 😂
In terms of structure yeah, this and Bboom Bboom are identical. In terms of sound I found it similar to Doo Doom Chit by Crayon Pop, which I much prefer to this song.
Omg it's exactly the same I've only just noticed. Omg you've hurt my brain lmao
Please react to Apink- I’m so sick

sOrRy I just had to rant after seeing some comments. momoland doesn't deserve some of these comments at all.
Thank you so much for reacting and breaking down ‘Baam’. You are absolutely correct in everything you said. You are my favorite reactor on the Tube PD. ❤️❤️❤️
Please react to unb black heart, nu’est w dejavu and apink I’m so sick
I understand that they want to make another Bboom Bboom and yeah Baam suffered because of that. It's a damn shame, but if Baam are playing somewhere I would still dance and sing to it!
Couldn’t wait to hear your opinion on this song
Thank you for making this reaction!
Your critique during the music video was spot on. Especially agree with the point about the coreography needing more spotlight in the video.
Am in the only one who actually likes baam (even better than bboom bboom)?
BAAM has a more addictive chorus. But overall, Bboom Bboom is a better song imo. The rap part fits the song well and the Yeonwoo bridge works out.
BAAM reminds me of some of Shinsadsong's old works with T-ara, like Number 9 and Sugar Free. The chorus seems more vibrant and addictive like Shinsadong's usual EDM-heavy style. The downfall of BAAM is pretty much everywhere else. The verses are weak, but that is also prevalent with a lot of the popular T-ara songs he's done. The rap part also doesn't really fit the song
lemons I actually like the part Ahin does Too. I think if they would’ve put more effort into changing the set up and the rap the song would’ve been better
tom se you are not alone
Nope.
I also enjoy the Japanese version of Baam more than the original Baam
Yesss, I've been waiting for this 💕
i didn't like the video at all. it wasn't too problematic, but there were a few parts that shouldn't be there, especially in 2018. i love the song a lot. even if it does have the same structure as bboom bboom, it's a really good song. the only part i didn't really care for was daisy's rap. i think the mv would've been a lot better if they made it a roller disco theme or something like that. on their mnet stage, it was really cool how the lighting changed with their shoes as well. i don't know, the mv was just extremely boring to me and the dance should've been shown a lot more.
3:10 is where he sorta addresses that costume. it's a bit... much. it could be offensive to hispanic audiences. i saw some people in the comments that were disappointed, as well as people from other cultures who weren't fans of the music video. i'm not personally offended, but i don't think that was smart. it's not the first time something like this happened in kpop, and i guarantee it won't be the last, even though there's been backlash by intl audiences each time.
chenlemon damn we have the same profile pic 😂😂
As someone who is supposed to be offended by the costumes (Mexican) I'm not. I honestly found it hilarious and as a Hyebin bias it only added to it for me.
i know it wasn't supposed to be taken seriously or be offensive to any culture, they were having fun. but some people aren't so forgiving. if you are from a culture that was represented in the video and you weren't offended, that's great. but they need to stop doing this in the industry. they should play it way safer.
i don't know much about culture appropriation, but i saw some people calling it that. i wouldn't use such a strong claim, but all i said was that it could be found as offensive depending on the person watching. it's all about perspective and personal beliefs. to make sure no one has a problem, it's better to leave out things like that.
people who think this song is a clone of bboom bboom are missing the point
its not like the producers were lazy and thought they'd get away with it, baam is supposed to be a follow up to bboom bboom
literally: bboom bboom baam
I think that many people get the idea that it's intentionally similar and that it's supposed to be a follow up but it doesn't feels like a good idea to do a similar follow up to 'BBoom BBoom'.. it would have been better to surprise people with something different and new.. to show that they can do more.
It still doesn’t really show a creative side tho. They could’ve made the chorus similar and changed up everything else but they literally did EVERYTHING the same, even the order of Adlibs and who things in what order
We get it tho, don't underestimate us. We just think they could've kept the same feeling of bboom bboom without having exact same estructure of the song and choreography.
It's so funny that Bboom Bboom was kind of like an anthem in the Philippines it is very popular then they released Baam and it still got the same hype as Bboom Bboom 😂 They loved it
kaya nga eh, kaso bulok kasi yung campany nila
@@lark_0 kabuset mld pinalitan pa nila pangalan ng company nila dahil sa momoland tapos ginanon lang sila
Him saying that BAAM won't benefit them, made me laugh. 200+ Million views, get done 😂
I’m so glad you reacted and are going full time! I just signed up to support you on patreon man I got you! 💜❤️💜
9:45 that's exactly what I was thinking, Boom Boom is like the older sister of Baam lol
I've been waiting for your reaction! Thank you PD!
Like I’ve been saying this reminds me of how when exid hit it big they made “ah yeah” which was like up&down 2.0.
I was WAITING FOR THIS!
Glad you reacted to Bboom Bboom...
.
.
.
I mean, Bbaam bbaam...
I mean Baam 🤣
this is why people have the opinion that momoland is problematic, and that it’s only for attention or to gain popularity.
p.s. I still love momoland
This is why I love your channel PD. They way you discuss on a reaction is just so intellectual. The song is catchy but i can't watch the MV on repeat because of the same reason you said.
i think this is like bbom bbom but a lil upgraded like many places and things to see and theyre encouraging that theyre glad of their own culture theyre putting theyre heart into it but some people say its bboom bboom 2.0 but its super catchy when someone plays it
Wow I just now realized they did the dance from the “Dame tu cosita” viral video lol
Wonderful analysis! this is why i come to see your reactions
Glad to see the amount of effort and work you put into this videos! (KCON NY is in my hometown )😍 Mamoland is trying to appeal to the mainstream audience and I am glad they did.
Controversial comparisons always arise when a group makes a comeback after coming off a smash hit. Although Baam has certain signature hip/arm sways and structure with Bboom Bboom, the production and music are quite different and distinct. Baam has a more vibrant, energetic, and faster upbeat continuous from start to end. Both have their funky, weird, and catchy renditions....typical Momo-nesque style. They are great MV's and I believe Baam will be another hit and just as strong as Bboom Bboom ... an amazing feat from a small agency.
I WAS WONDERING WHEN YOU'LL DO THIS THANK YOU
I’ve been waiting for thissssss
When one of the girls is wearing the Mexican clothing with the moustache the camera zooms in, and if you look at her shirt, it seems to be an African traditional shirt...😨
I really like watching the dance practises for both songs as the choreography stands out with the song. Perhaps reacting to them will make this better.
The same producer that worked on bboom bboom also did baam (I’m not sure of his name) but this producer is known for releasing very similar sounding songs after the first one becomes a hit
Eg. He produced EXIDs up and down and ah yeah, they two hits that established their popularity
Also produced t-aras lovey dovey and rolly poly I believe that gained them fame
3:09 AYYYYYYYY!! THE SPANISH TRADITION!!!🇮🇹
Considering that I saw the early teaser photos, as a fan of momoland, I really thought they were going for a different vibe or concept for a music video. I actually had an idea for it:
So it begins with a shot of the members talking and just finding a place to relax after their shooting of bboom bboom. Mind you they are still wearing what they wore at bboom bboom.
So they found this roller skating place and decided to just hang out there. When they went in, it felt different but looked like a normal rink. Three of the members gave it a try and when the other members were finished tying up their roller skating shoes, the other three disappeared. The rest of them tried to follow them by going in to the rink. Then a bright light swallowed them and when they opened their eyes, the roller skating rink became some sort of "access" to see the whole world. Like they could tour different landmarks and what not. After having fun they saw a dancefloor where many flags are erected around it and an arch saying "welcome momoland" and then baam! (no pun intended) the music video starts.
And at the end, after dancing they go back to the real world and look back at the roller skating place. They look at one another and gives the audience a look at the different members wearing different accessories or costumes from different countries.
Idk this could've been a much better concept. Like there is an actual story to it. But the MV is already released so we can't do anything about that :)
I ran into 7 of Momoland in COEX last month, having never had of heard of them.
finally you're back!!! i really really like your reaction. more power.
i like how we had ALL the same thoughts. every time you said somethin, i was just noddin my head like, yup yup you so right lmao
Omg I’ve been waiting for this!
please react to nuest w dejawu
Thanks so much for putting your opinion on MOMOLAND - BAAM , you’re really good at putting everything into words. You really put lots of insight and used your knowledge of things (on the video production). I enjoy listening to your opinion it’s not highly biased. :)
Do you think you would have liked the videography if it was kind of like Holiday - SNSD style video? With the whole party theme. I think I would’ve loved it if they chose that. Thanks for making your videos and I wish I could support your patreon so instead I like all ya stuff and share your video with friends and on social media! (My friends who aren’t even Kpop fans enjoy your insight on music videos lol and find ur voice calming)
nice analysis. got what i came in here for. thanks PD :)
One hit wonders at its finest .
Baam is totally a great song. It’s like the sequel to Bboom Bboom lol in a good way!
This mv played a lot to their fan base, the Philippines flag, good shots of Yeonwoo and Nancy, Vietnam, swaying hips etc. they made sure these were in to boost fan base. I like baam a lot, it's boom boom on steroids.
People are still hating on BAAM while violeta is also a carbon copy of la vie en rose, kill this love is a carbon copy of DDU-DU DDU-DU, solo is a carbon copy of gashina, adios is a carbon copy of kill this love…
I'm surprised you didn't catch that the rap break is literally This is America... like a carbon copy
JOOO EEEEE.😍😍
Now supporting on Patreon :) Let's gooooo!
I suggest looking into the selfie music video for this song. I think it’s more playful and fun, like the song itself. Plus close ups of all the cute members.
Im hesitant to stan Momoland due to Nancy and i blocked the sombrero and mustache from my memory... I was hoping for latin representation, maybe with mexican dresses ( which i forgot the official names, which is colorful and has ruffles) and then saw... That. Despite that, i love everything that pd said and i agree on everything that he said
tooearlyforapril there are also female mariachi outfits as well , which are really cool! But I can’t hold too much of a gripe against them really. Let’s just hope next time works out better.
how do you not know the names of the "mexican dresses" yet demand latin representation at the same time?
k eke chill out dude, not everyone knows how to spell folklórico off the top of their head,
k eke I'm Mexican and I don't even know what they're called lmao
imo bboom bboom and baam is so much the same that when i try to sing bboom bboom, the baam beat plays on my head instead
The Album Title is "Fun to the World" and that's what they tried to portray in the Music Video. If you will just watch the Music Video without knowing about the album concept you'll obviously think it's out of place. And if you see the album cover, they actually have a lot of flags of countries where they have a huge fanbase. I kinda disagree with the verses being weak cause I feel that they are more upbeat compared to Bboom Bboom which was a long build up to the chorus. I enjoy BAAM overall better than Bboom Bboom because of the progression of the song. But thanks for your unbias opinion. Definitely one of the best I've seen. Keep up the good work!
gstar47 the thing is, not everyone is a fan. Like me for example, it's very important how the title track will be portrayed in order of being interested in checking the rest of the album. If the title track is weak, I will have 0 interest in their other music. Simple as that.
You shouldn't assume that everyone will catch the concept because some people are occasional listeners. I was interested in them after bboom bboom but not enough to be a fan, and now with this song, they totally lost me. Their company should focus on getting better and offer quality so they can keep the fan base that they earned and also, gain more fans. But doing copy paste and then messing up with the concept of the mv (which I definitely find problematic since my country is involved in this mess) I think they don't want to success
Ki Ka I'm not sure what country you are from so I wouldn't understand why you would be offended by the music video. But everyone in the fandom was very happy to see that their country was represented in the music video. Im quite sure that Momoland's fanbase is like 50% Filipinos. That 2 seconds where Nancy wave the Philippines Flag was enough for everyone to be so thankful that Momoland acknowledged that they have a huge Filipino fanbase. But of course that didn't mean there was no controversy, casual Filipinos thinks that Momoland was just fawning towards Filipinos to have an even bigger fanbase and some even claiming that Nancy waiving the Filipino flag was against the law (which totally was not). So it's really up to you if you will get offended or like them for the effort they put in making their fans happy cause they are a genuine group who loves their fans. Remember they are not that popular in Korea and having this huge international fanbase makes them happy cause they're work is actually being appreciated by someone.
Besides the whole concept of "Fun to the World", I also really dislike the MV, it's unpleasing to watch, it feels old-fashioned in the worst way possible.
I also disagree with the verses being weak, I honestly feel like they're even better than Bboom Bboom's.
The only thing I really dislike about Baam is that horrible, just hooorrible, rap part. It totally ruins the whole song for me, sadly. Bboom Bboom's rap part wasn't great either, but I got used to it.
gstar47 I'm not sure where the other person is from, but I was a bit put off on the Mexican "representation" in the video. I'm from Mexico myself and it made me sad to see that the other countries had such elegant and pretty dresses and outfits to represent their country, while we got a sombrero, a fake mustache and a shirt that isn't even Mexican. I appreciate the attempt but it sucks that that's what they chose for Mexico, considering we have beautiful traditional dresses that could have been used.
Mauro Madera I actually gotten used to the rap part. Bboom Bboom was such a slow build up song and the rap part complimented that being fast paced. In BAAM's case the lines are being delivered at a more upbeat pace and they slowed it down at the rap part to take an actual break. Remember BAAM is a more dance oriented song than Bboom Bboom is.
You literally voiced all of my opinions on this song
I just watch this vid by now, and I agree that both songs have the EXACT SAME structure, so it's so easy to make mashups from both of them, just like my mashup vid on my channel XD
Bboom bboom, baam next one has to be a "bop"
I like how this channel reacts to baam objectively not like the other channel where they just go straight into that sh*t saying that it is a copy of Bboom Bboom.
Their fancy footworks were the only thing I was hooked into.
THANK YOU
There's still one more Loona...hahaha love these vids man
i was waiting for this
Baam is the travel adapter version of BBoom BBoom.
Yes. To everything. Just agree.
3:48 omfg i just noticed they look like their doing the "dame tu cosita" dance CAN U SEE IT
i don’t care if it sounds like bboom bboom because I still love them no matter what
I agree that the structures are exactly the same; people argue that there is nothing similar about the two because they don’t sound the same, but I believe songs can still be similar without sounding the same.
this song is nothing but a safe bet by the company. also Daisy ftw.
"Choreography is much easier too." Not until you try it. 😂
I'm kind of excited to their next comeback they'll probably change the concept and bring another bop
I can't unheard the "This is america" on rap part lol
Does anyone else think that Daisy's rap sounds like the rap in 'This is America'?
The girls have so much talent and potential tbh, and i think if the song structure and choreo was a little different, i definitely would've loved the song more.
Glad she actually reacted to it not like the comments just saying bboom bboom 2.0
I miss this non-LOONA reactions PD! Keep it going!
PS: Oh btw! NU'EST W just had a comeback with "Dejavu", you might want to look at it :D
Also, A.C.E. also had one entitled "Take Me Higher", you'll be shocked about this one if you compare it with their previous songs.
Kim Dong Han of JBJ also had one entitled "Sunset", a bit of Taemin vibes in here and I'm seeing a male Chungha in him.
That's it. This was great reaction PD!
I think the same way as you. It does not sound anything like Bboom Bboom. What makes people think it's Bboom Bboom is the structure. As far as for the rest idk what to think about it because I don't really know much about music. All I know is that I love Bboom Bboom as much (or maybe a little more) than Baam.
Edit: also the dance you aid was corny is a part of the dance that green alien frog thing dances xD
FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Yayy thanks for reacting to this! Please react to NU'EST - Dejavu!!!
Very good response to the song
Golden Child - Let me 🙌 it's really bop ❤ you'll love it
the rap part sounds like Childish Gambino's "This Is America"
When i saw the song's name i thought 'Baam & bboombboom what's next crash?'
it was so cool seeing you at kcon!! i was that weird awkward person who sat front row at the lgbt panel 😂 i was too shy to ask for a pic
this is baamerica 😔✊
but also, UNB - Black Heart. Their comeback. Definitely much more fitting for the group as a whole. :)
