LIVE REPLAY ISSUE 😢 (Patreon)
Content
You won't believe what happened.... I am SO angry..... and I am SO sorry to my VIP's.In the 3 years I’ve been doing live reactions, I’ve never once downloaded my Zoom recordings to my iCloud... but today, without me realising, my iCloud had synced itself to my computer and started mirroring my Zoom recording. When I went to download the file into my editor, I noticed I suddenly had no storage left (which was confusing, because I’d moved everything to my hard drive just two days ago). After checking, I saw iCloud was taking up over 260GB of space.
I unsynced iCloud, assuming this wouldn't affect anything, but what I didn’t know was that iCloud hadn’t actually finished downloading the video locally. When I unsynced, the recording file was removed, and unfortunately it can’t be recovered.
I’m genuinely so sorry, especially because this reaction was done by request and I know people were waiting for it. I guess for the people who actually came to the live - you have the benefit of seeing the reaction in real time. But sadly for those who weren't there, you won't be able to see it.
For my VIP's - I will be doing a separate post for you to send requests in and I will do a bonus reaction this week to make up for it. I'm so sorry. But here are my thoughts on everything we watched today:
XG - Hypnotize MV - INCREDIBLE.... I was dancing from start to finish. I absolutely love the vibe, love the dance pop style for them! They looked incredible (as per usual) and i'm so excited to do a full album listen.
Bang Yongguk - Motion MV - UNREAL! What a vibe... This is going to be replaying every day... it's so chill... i love his deep voice and .. his tats hahahaha the MV is so aesthetically pleasing omg..
Dagundong by alamat - Very warrior'esk vibes... loved the bass in this and the intensity. Felt kind of traditional in some sections - good vibe overall.
Renèe rapp - why is she still here - very soulful. I don't know if I have heard her sing before but her voice is amazing. Loved!
Enhypen - Knife dance practice - I mean... obviously AMAZING! (apart from the black background lol). I really love the choreography in this. Jake stood out to me for some reason... Especially at the start! I love his tone as the song starts so maybe that's why my eyes were straight on him... Jungwon also incredible.. All incredible really.
LNGSHOT - Never Let Go - bside from their showcase - I added this to my playlist. LOVED IT! The young kids voice doesn't sound as young when he sings live haha. I think everyone enjoyed this one who were on the live. Such a good melody (gave me "girl of my dreams ft. suga vibes).
Riize - Exo 'Monster' cover - They killed this cover... I realised (not really a new realisation) that I really like Shotaru.. he has a cute mouth LOL... but yes loved... Really enjoyed watching this one. Sohee was killing it with those adlibs!
GAT - 'Daleng Dale' - I was so shocked before watching when I saw it has 30M views.. WOW!!!! Great cover.. it's sooo fun and bouncy.. lots of hip action too HAHAHA
GAT - 'Kakaiba' - Also great.. loved the pop rnb/dance vibe, great vocals throughout. I really liked the production of this MV and I'm surprised they haven't done much more... looking forward to seeing more from them.
Cry with You - Tân Binh Toàn Năng 2025 - Beautiful performance !!!! Such amazing vocals.. especially the one dude who looks like Woonhak from BND.. HAHA sorry don't know names. I'm happy they ended up in the final group because I can tell how talented they are from this performance. So so good!
STARGLOW / Star Wish -Music Video - LOVED this. Hate their name hahaahahaha jkz jkz... but not... But loved the aesthetic of this right from the start.. giving surfer / cali colour grading vies lol.... Looks wise, the long hair dude grabbed my eye first. The song itself was great - giving dance pop / rnb elements. Made me bop along! Really enjoyed.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE - Cinnamon Shake - Loved the live vocals. The performance itself felt fun and I loved their outfits. Easy to listen to B-side.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE(알파드라이브원) - FREAK ALARM (4K) | ALPHA DRIVE ONE DEBUT SHOW | Mnet 260112 방송 - ok this put us into a spiral because we were once again discussing what it actually meant to hit the freak alarm.. like what happens when one hit that alarm? .... never the less we continued.. again loved their outfits! The choreo to this is also great. Enjoyable performance.. Back to the topic of Freak Alarm I was enlightened with a clip of Jiahao and his body rolls in Chains... What a performance 😅
HENRY - 'Miley Cyrus - Flowers & SZA - Kill Bill' Violin Cover - Beautiful as always... I loved the blend of these two songs. He did such a great job of somehow making the melodies fit so perfect together with Kill Bill being the intro and outro.. He is so talented!
Kang Daniel - Backseat Promises Live clip - I have heard this song before so it was really nice hearing it live. I also love hearing his voice so this was a treat.
NEXZ - ‘HARD’ Dance Practice - put NEXZ and "dance practice" in the same sentence and watch me melt to the ground... this choreo in particular is SO satisfying... Mostly because they are talented AF but also because the song is sonically kinda weird but the choreo movements in some parts are too and it matches so well visually that it's just so satisfying. I think it's the blend of sharp movements mixed with the slower drawn out ones while the camera kinda changes it's angle to match - it just all works.
NEXZ - ‘Eye to Eye’ Dance Practice - Okkkkkkkkk whiplash from hard hitting to cute little babiesssss... Yet even when being cute they are swagged up to the 9's... They just move with so much control... but then you look at their faces in this and they're all 🥰... Also .. yeah... Yu is definitely my bias at this point in time hahahaha I just smile so wide when I watch him hahaha
CNBLUE- Still, a Flower Live - LOVED... The main singers voice is so incredible.. I mentioned how seasoned he sounds in the sense of how much control he has over his voice. Such a beautiful warmth! Loved this - added to my playlist.
CNBLUE- Lowkey Lyric Video - also added this one to the playlist, it got my shoulders shaking right from the start. I love how upbeat the whole song feels, especially in the chorus, and then in the verses it kinda chills out and has that "band in a garage" kinda vibe hahaha.. Love the bass as well as the electric guitar solo part too!!
