Honestly i don't remember it was months ago, it was probably one of those bg high note compilation or the pentagon vocals video and even there he didn't give good vibes ahah

Basic rule of thumb that I always go by is that if a singer has a sustained note and they're not using vibrato at all and you know it's not on purpose for stylistic reasons then you know they're not a good singer (technical wise) because they're straining and vibrato is the most basic thing you learn in vocal lessons after breathing and posture, and it comes naturally to anyone who is trained properly.

I like reactors who actually react. For K-POP, I like Jasmine and Courtney and Shane because they provide commentary, they stan or like the groups in question, you can relate to their reactions because they're a fan, I get them. I don't like "X group fan reacts to X rival group" and doesn't even know the members' fxxkin names :wth:

For gamers, I like people who play the game they're reacting to and can give some opinion on what they're seeing. Like a single Smashtuber reacting to a Smash trailer is fine. But you have these people who play Pokemon or who play Zelda reacting to the whole E3 and don't know about half of the stuff they're giving irrelevant or no commentary to...just watch for the game you play then instead of saying "WhO/wHaT iS tHiS" every two seconds for a game you haven't played.

I used to watch the Fine Bros but I stopped watching them because the commentary from the teens just got annoying. One of them was reacting to AOT and had a girl claim with her whole chest that English dubbers of Anime translate the dialogue with Google Translate

????????? Sis, the Japanese subtitles YOU read are Google Translate 60% of the time by non-Japanese speakers. The dub it to be edgy. They get mad when English anime isn't word for word verbatim to the subs when the subs are not even accurate themselves. I don't expect everyone to understand the dubbing process and what goes into translating and localizing a show to make sense in another language, but I really wish they had cut that out. It made the girl sound super ignorant~ The dubbers are getting more Japanese insight than these damn weebs whining about English dubs

I always feel dirty after watching them...especially for Twice videos outside of Likey (the only video that gets genuine excitement thanks to the trap break).  You can just tell when they are putting on a front to appease the stans.  Its almost as bad as the silent motionless watchers.

Generally I don't really like watching reaction videos. They don't add anything most of the time and I've noticed that most channels just blindly praise whatever they watch because they want views and they don't want to be attacked by stans. It completely defeats the point of making reaction videos because their reaction isn't genuine at all.
