Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great weekend! This one's kinda long so timestamps below for ya! Sorry I couldn't just do one video with all the dance unit performances, but the editing/upload time for 40min videos is super long compared to two, 20min videos.. Anyways, I hope y'all enjoy and as always... much love to my subs & viewers~ 0:00 Highlights from last reaction 0:19 Intro 2:38 Brave Girls x LOONA "Tell Me Now" Reaction/Commentary 15:29 "Tell Me Now" Full Cam Reaction/Grade 22:19 Final Rankings/Closing Comments

Kpop bias aside, if you’re a trained dancer and you didn’t have this piece in first place you need to get your eyes checked.. it should’ve been a unanimous vote among the dancers in the audience. With all due respect they were levels above the first two performances. Loona and Eunji in first place where they belong 🏆

Each dancer have preferences

@aprilswk6999 2 жыл бұрын

@@leteflondondu92 Preferences are just biases at the end of the day. Preferences are diverse but if one is judging based on technicalities, fact remains that tell me now team deserved first as this is "dance" Competition this round not a Stage performance competition. Prefering kepviz, Ka boom is alright but if someone claims they deserve first and were better than tell me now as dance piece they are just lying and discrediting loonaxbg team.

I can't help but see the joy in Eunji's eyes. This was the type of dance she formally trained in, and I can't help but feel her happiness that she came back to her roots. I see it I her eyes and in her smile. She looked like the cute cat you'd want to pet, but then she wiped her mouth, and bam! She changes! You're suddenly reminded that she's a lioness out on a prowl. I loved it, and I'm super happy for her. :)

Eunji was absolutely incredible! Her dance execution was masterful & her commitment to her role within the piece was inspiring. We love to see Queens doing Queen things! 😊👍

As you said this really did turn out to be the perfect storm. LOONA wasn’t thrilled at first, but I’m actually so happy they went with this piece and got to work with and learn from Eunji! And of course working with Monika is always a win! Of the three pieces this was by far my favorite too and I’m convinced only loona and Eunji could’ve pulled it off the way they did! Great reaction and breakdown tofu! 😊👌🏻

Speaking of linear vs modern, there's one cut in Queendom 2 when Hyejoo said she was actually really nervous because modern contemporary wasn't her forte. She was trained for really sharp and snappy moves. But of course, we're talking about Loona here. SHE. FREAKIN. NAILED. IT.

@paradyne1T101 2 жыл бұрын

Strange Hyejoo would say that seeing she so easily took to the dance choreography of her Egoist debut which was very Modern, very Physically Expressive, and very Sensual

@FreshTofuReacts 2 жыл бұрын

She’s a dance machine! Hard work & dedication is what makes most great dancers, but you also have some that just have that X factor and when you combine that with practice… you’ve got a world class dancer in the making. I remember years ago I was asked to rank the LOONA members by dance skill and potential & I had Baby Wolf (alongside HeeJin) as my #1 on the potential scale. Even told her so when I got to talk to her in the online fan meet that given time, she’d be one of the best dancers in the industry so long as she kept at it. Hyeju out here making me look like a fortune teller 🤣👍 She was incredible in her pre debut solo, but the technicality demanded from this piece was on another level. Especially since she has to match the flow/tempo of her team. Factor in that she’s also performing in front of an audience in a competitive environment and her nervousness is completely understandable. As everyone can agree with though, she killed it! 🥳👍

This piece was an absolute masterpiece and the entire team killed it! Eunji, LOONA, the dance crew, Monika, everyone! This was a team effort deserving of 1st place which they got! I’ll admit I was prolly one of those ppl you saw who was worried about Loona working with Eunji cause I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, she didn’t look good in the first two brave girls stages.. 15+ years of dance experience here.. but god damn did she prove me wrong! She’s all class and watching the episode and seeing her working with the members I was thinking oh yeah she’s gonna be a PROBLEM for the other teams. This team gonna dominate and they did!

Totally agree! I really hate the whole elimination thing… I really hope brave girls don’t get eliminated! They should be safe this round since their vocal team got 2nd and they won the dance competition, but still! The stress they must be feeling! Poor girls 😞 stream and vote for LOONA x Brave Girls!! I want all the groups to make it to the finale 🙏🏻

If I were a betting woman I’d put money on it 😂 it’s butterfly.. we know how tofu feels about that piece. It’s like one of his all time favs so I think we could see tofu give out his first 10/10 next round

I rmb someone said that queen is na's performance is a bit empty and weaker compared to the other two and I disagree cause the routine doesn't have to be explosive to be great.

i absolutely love your comments on the technicality of the movements because thats literally what pulled me into this performance. The slow movements the flowed into those pointed hits were just....oh my god. Like the amount of muscle control needed for this entire performance is insane for me like eunji, heejin, and yves' leg extensions and how slow they brought their legs up as if it were effortless? Just *chef's kiss*. I also urge you to watch Heejin's fancam of this performance if you havent because the part that absolutely mesmerized me was that part in the middle where they were lined up and doing that elegant "bouncing" because Heejin.............she looked like she was floating! I even checked the other girls fancam to see if everyone did it like she did and even though they all still looked flawless, Heejin really made it look as if she was floating on air! It seriously just blew my mind because you could tell that she heavily focused on the small movements necessary to make this performance without overpowering everyone else. Jaw? Dropped. Queen? Dom-ed.

Tofu: the bars been set pretty high.. low score from the first two is a 8.2/10.. they’ve got their work cut out for them Me: already knowing tofu’s gonna lose his freaking mind and probably give loona x Brave girls a new high score before he even starts the reaction 😋👌🏻 Edit- hah knew it! Our girls and leader Eunji slayed~ ☺️
