[Exclusive] MAMA 2020 - Performances Reaction + Thoughts

I'll never get over floating vampire Taeyong.

• JustJen •

I just finished watching your reaction to kingdom and its funny how you said stray kids were going to do good and they won kingdom haha I bet someone told you but the song is Victory Song (good choice I guess since they won)

Emma Ros

I actually joined your patreon to watch the kingdom reactions and now I'm watching your older vids on here.. you were right about skz doing well on kingdom... ^^

ohduhree

if you're still considering, i'd love to see you react to i-land

cyd

NCT had THE MOST legendary performance and they deserved every minute, kings.

Isa Alvim

MAMA did Monsta X DIRTY with this performance.. so many rookie groups had longer performances, and that can legit be considerate as disrespectful

Isa Alvim

hey Jeff would be so cool if you would like to react to covers bye 4x4. maybe some you did not watch jet :) they released a cover for idea hehe

bsr RM94

Wuaaa Taeminie

Duna

Would love an i-land reaction, its such a good show with amazing performances

joe cooke

The boyz

디아 Dia

that static noise is really distracting 😩

Julian

i hope you you do iland

Sahaja

Please react to BoA as well it was her 20th year celebration. She did a couple songs and she's the first idol from SM

Shana

I've come here after your last superm reaction, it was great that you have mentioned your patreon content with superm, I'm so happy to be here! thank you for all of your reviews !!! about mama... i loved Tamin's epic and strong performance, BTS (cause i'm obsessed with dynamite) and NCT. after this i thought that criminal and idea performances couldn’t become better and more epic....BUT they DID. He overcomed this performance in kbs song festival. and it was the most epic, beautiful and complicated stage performance. he included new choreo, different from this and added difficult intro for the criminal. the vocal was extreme T_T i still can't believe it. i really hope that if you won't do the review for it you at least will watch)))) it is worth every minute. THANK YOU once again for the content !!!

Ann Dc

I would love to watch I-land again with you!

vmarie113

I hope Ateez release a dance practice to this!

Helen Dobinson

would love a reaction to i land

humantanghulu -

Exactly.

EXOL2020

stray kids released a dance practice!!!

Isabela

Hi Jeff! Please watch Got7s concert. Theyre so amazinggg☺️💚

Arriane

My favorite is definitely Taemin's stage. Dance, vocal, visual, stage presence, you named it all. This is why he performed as the grand opening, just a king behavior.

Nainkino

I will surely miss taemin when he enlists in the military. 18 months are tooooooo long of a wait.

Shaira

No BoA?

Miki Hoshii

You should def. do I-land it was really good

Rosa Vargas

I cant lie I-LAND was soo good wow! You would love it Jeff! The progression and quality of the different performances was A1 and I enjoyed seeing SEVENTEEN, TXT, and BTS on the show too.

do i-land, please!!!! its so different from other surviving shows its totally unique and interesting! and production of this show scream the CASH i hope you will do it

doyoung's hat

Everyone did amazinggggg but the best performances were for sure SKZ+ TBZ+ ATEEZ Collab and NCT

P Liz

If I were to choose what is my fav performance in MAMA I would choose the boyz 😅 been following them since rtk and watching their perf in mama feels like I'm watching a movie their storyline "the crown story" , stage presence and being "extra" adding new flavor in their perfs really impressed me. Nonetheless, all the performances are all amazing.

Sarah Mae

The way they teased kingdom in mama is really epic... I get chills everytime the kingdom teaser appears.. because of this I can't wait anymore 😅

Sarah Mae

My favourite performance was Teamins. Even I am a bit dissapointed that you took so much time about talking about Taemin being tired and said not much about the actual performance.

Anna Albrecht

Actually, my favorite performance was one you didn't react to. Queen BoA was the star of the night in my opinion. She's been a star in this industry for 20 years and she performed like an energetic rookie! Her dance skills are no joke! I would recommend checking out her performance, as well as her music!

EXOL2020

is winwin in the background as a picture?, was wondering quite a time now :)

amira boyter

Also, since you checked out Road to Kingdom, will you check out Queendom??

Nova Amore

Omg, you should definately check out I-land!! There's one specific performance that I want to see your reaction to! * Also, Sunghoon is the member who figure skated for 10-11 years, not Heeseung. Heeseung is known as the ace though!

Nova Amore

NCT time stamp is at 01:27 and there are 127 likes on here at the moment. Just had to say that, but NCT was my fav followed by Ateez- Stray Kids-The Boyz

Emma Stanley86

NCT absolutely KILLED it! They made that stage theirs! It really was NCTs year. Artist of the year for me.

Brittany Stancil

The Strayteez Boyz stage blew me away. I didn’t breath for fifteen minutes. I’ve been debating in my head who could also be on the show. It would have to be groups that aren’t rookies, who have a good following to draw viewers. But ones who also haven’t won major awards. My hopeful list are A.C.E, Victon, VAV, (Monsta X and Got7 would be amazing though I highly doubt it). Probably groups in Gen 3.5.

I_KPOP_Fan

Why did I spend 3 USD just to watch this? My mind is not ok.

GamingBryan1

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

seth james

right?? answer was epiccc!

seth james

haha relatable!

seth james

txt & BTS! wow txt got me shook with the disco covers! I so agree that they’re a fresh breath of air! they’re so versatile and fit into any style! BTS always leaves me speechless, & ON is a masterpiece!!

Elizabeth Pecina

oh the atz x skz x tbz performance for sure, i think i've watched it at least once a day since the awards

Samantha

NCT for sure

Love Love

Aww no BoA...

Magiccq91

Jeff, you should react to BTS performance at the Melon Awards.

Ana

YES please react to I-land !! I love your reaction vids :)) <3

Ariyah Espinoza

Hey Jeff! Thanks for reacting to all these! 🙏 My favorites of the night were definitely TBZ/ATZ/SKZ and SEVENTEEN. I watched MAMA live and was going BANANAS over all of it 😂😂😂 The cool thing about the TBZ/ATZ/SKZ stage is that you were right in that it’s based on Greek mythology. Stray Kids were Ares (the God of War), ATEEZ were Hades (the God of the Underworld), and I’m not quite sure who TBZ were supposed to be (I think either Helios the Sun God or Zeus). The way they tied all of their performances together was absolutely epic and although I’m weary about the show (given how some members of the three fan bases are currently treating each other), I can’t wait to see the stages and what the groups will have for us, as well as who else will be on the show because I’m sure they will all slay as they are all unbelievable performers. 🙏 Thanks for another amazing reaction!

di11961

I never thought Answer could get more epic and then they release this grand masterpiece that sends shivers down my spine and downright makes me cry. And the fact that Answer is also your favorite Ateez song... nothing but love and respect man

Julian

omg did you watched mama 2018? It was a nightmare! Worst camerawork and lighting. This year is perfect coz of pre-rec.

Alice Bang

Monsta performed with Cravity, it was great. It's sad you didn't watched the whole thing. Also, Taemin performed with BoA too. It was so beautiful, from The King to The Queen))) And then bts. So, I think it would be better them to perform before BoA. This year they wasn't the best one.

Alice Bang

A lot of people joked that this was the reason MNET patched things up with SM... they needed the beyond live tech to do these stages 😭

A

This year really was NCT's year! Loved their performance. Haechan was KILLING those adlibs ❤

Kayla Wimmer

I loved Seventeen! It was a whole Broadway show!

Jackie

I would love it if you did a reaction to I-LAND

Shaneen Avalon

Honestly, I felt like the camerawork this year was shitty. Esp during the perfomance by SEVENTEEN. There were so many cuts that I was getting dizzy. Great reaction, Jeff!

Svenja Ebert

MAMA basically invited skz last minute after snubbing them for awards, and used them to promote kingdom. according to the choreographer they worked with, skz practiced for a ridiculously short amount of time :(

leah ahn

Wish you could also react to MAMAMOO in the future. They have amazing vocals c: Thank you for reacting to this, I really enjoyed it!

Célinec.

I was thinking the same when I saw NCT performance like take these mesh shirts off let me see your tiddies

kai

you should see TXT MMA performance there was sooo much more added plus Yeonjun really shined in MMA one

Oliwia Cużytek

Damnn you watched all of them

kai

Jeff...you need SMTown in the rain. Hahahahah

Louie Gabiliño

I know you didn’t react to BoA, but the whole tribute thing was also phenomenal and she killed it especially when she performed only one with taemin

Ana Rute

I think NCT just stole the whole thing for themselves cause they took it to another level. The from home rearranged version 😩 when the foreign line just came in I CRIED LIKE A BABY (I still do every time I watch it)

Ana Rute

YES PLEASE react to I-LAND

heebindidthat

nice reaction :D could you also do mamamoo's performance ?

Dan

Kinda sad that you didn’t react to izone which I think had one of the best performances of the night. Also Boa!

slampoets

oooo cant wait! although what's TMA? T.... Music Awards?

seth james

HAHA I didn't even realize that!

seth james

ohh. they were also so busy! they had back to back comebacks and just finished (?) Japan promotions so I can understand not being as prepared as they want to be. unlike tbz and ateez who's comebacks were a bit ago.

seth james

My FaV till now is ATEEZ and THE BOYZ + TAEMIN ( we can't not say otherwise about taemin )

타미카 Tamika

I love your reaction!! Yeah i think so Taemin is overworked. Can’t wait for SHINee comeback. Thank you Jeff 😍

yanamuhd

Taemin and NCT U Resonance.

Chayan

Can u please react to going seventeen 2019/2020. Its so funny really

Rocío Aguilera

Yess, I-land reactions would be awesome!

Merlin

Unrelated to dancing but I hope you can check out straykids felix FM asmr and related to dancing hyunjins and felix dance for dazed (dior photo shoot)

Lawresha

Yeah react to I-land

os

Finished watching the performances, the NCT one was really well made, they were really in sync, from Home was amazing too !

Oriane Corral

you need to watch i-land jeff !! it's totally worth it omg

Leanne Labang

Stray Kids song was Victory Song, it is an epic song! There’s a performance video that you should check out, think it would blow your mind!

non

Honestly... I came to watch you react to Beastmode... 😊 Hopefully you can react to their dance practice because what they performed wasn't the whole song and not fixed camera.. Thank you so much for loving kpop and being the multistan that you are. Thank you for giving love to Monsta X... 😊 Btw, pls do watch TMA... Jooheon will perform "Psyche"

Liz A

Please please react to bias performances. She is ICONIC and Taemin had a brief stage with her as well

Doyoungismyult

OMG it would be so cool if you reacted to Iland. I had such a hard time choosing a favourite performance from this. It was all so good. Also it would be awesome if you reacted to Stray Kids Victory Song. It's one of my favourites.

Jessie

The song stray kids did was victory song and they actually had very little time to prepare as there choreographer said they where told last minute they would be performing so I'm excited to see what they can do with even more time on kingdom.

Lawresha

I really enjoyed watching it again then ur reactions. Haha im still amazed by these performances 💕

pia_universe

Yeah Taemin is overworked for sure! The carzy thing is that right after Mama he went to practice right away and his dancer Kasper posted a pic of them in the practice room and anothor dancer commented and said "Can't we practice tomorrow?" And Kasper said "i know right" . I feel like Taemin worked hard this year so he can go to the military with no regrets. I have seen the documentries of his concerts in Japan and man has done a lot of concert tours! It's amazing and inspiring truly! Now That his members are back Taemin is already thinking of what kind of concept they should come with and same with Key he said does have a lot of ideas and styles for SHINee so i am really excited! Thank u for the reaction! You are truly the best reactor and i love your reactions to SHINee and Taemin. You are an artist too so i think its really cool to hear what do u think about these performances!

XSHINeeBAP

Such an epic intro from Taemin into a transition of countless epic performances. Boa, NCT, Jessiex Hwasa, Treasure, SVTN, Gidle, IZONE, OMG, BTS, and every other group killed it this year. Everyone brought their best game to this performance. MAMA really be flexing their artists’ talent and budget for this year, it’s too bad they couldn’t spare a fraction of that money in order to get a place with enough waiting rooms for both the actors and artists.

Lena

SEVENTEEN will perform Fallin' Flower's Korean Version in TMA on Dec. 12th, I definitely believe that this performance would be one of the best!

veroniqueforve

I definitely noticed Taemin conserving too. I feel that he was the most overworked during his like bijillion concerts and tours in Japan/Korea. Soooo much prep and work (there’s a couple documentaries on YouTube about it) to the point where he could not feel his legs, as he stated. He had like 3-4 concerts and 2 tours from 2017 - 2019/2020. I forgot how many shows one of them had, but I know the other had about 32 shows in the span of 3 months. This excludes shinee and superm too, so yeah definitely overworked lmao. Thank you for reacting to this ❤️

Fifi

The fact you have NCT’s time stamp as 127? Immaculate

William Trusty

iland I don’t think you would regret it you get some of the best dancers there!

Libby Wilkins

Please react to island

Libby Wilkins

Also a lot of fans stan all three groups so Kingdom should be fun as hell. Hopefully no nasty MNET editing, looking forward to your reactions :)

Stay Healthy

Okay so I have a comment on SKZ: they actually didn’t have much time to work on this. Their choreographer said they rushed it and he posted a story at 4am with the dancers still in rehearsal rooms. MAMA did them dirty but they still served the best course. The song is Victory Song - it’s an older B side that has a performance video.

Stay Healthy

Taemin stray kids ateez

jinkichimchim

I wish GOT7 performed longer; I wish they gave Yugyeom solo performance like what JB did. I miss his dance so much. JB was on fire though; dance and vocal. His ad-libs are amazing.

Lynossa

I would definitely be interested if u did I-Land hehe it's really good

Palani Aflague

What a night of amazing performances! (If only Mnet had treated all these artists properly...) I loved Taemin, the BoA tribute (you should watch baby Taemin dancing with BoA to Only One from years ago, seeing them do it again this time around to celebrate her anniversary was so nostalgic and emotional), and SVT (my musical theatre heart is fully satisfied). Some of the camerawork disgruntled me - they zoomed out during both performance team dance breaks in both L&R and Home;Run ugh. I need vocal unit's version of Home;Run ASAP!!!! If you have time, I suggest watching Home;Run - Party on Board version! (You don't have to react to it, just for yourself haha). SVT in suits dancing on a ship in the middle of the river under a night sky, chef's kiss. And the ending is so cute!

Layla123

I’m so stupid that only when the logo appeared I realised that it was a Kingdom promo. I screamed so loud 😂😂 and I think that was my favourite performance. And I love BTS and Yoongi but for the love of God I hate holograms, it was so creepy I couldn’t look and I feel so bad because I miss him so much and I wanted to love it but I just can’t 😭

MBoo

to answer your question they will be doing Fallin Flower in a different award show on the 12th of Dec. And yes it is a korean version so we are excited.. As always thank you for reacting to SVT!!!

Shelly Andy

my favorite performance was either ateez or nct, i can't choose! i wish more girl groups got to perform though. i hope all the artists got to rest for a while after because it looked exhausting!

Victoria

finally!! been waiting for this!!

Belle Dasig

nct just stole the whole show with that from home performances. no props or cool choreos needed. just them flexing their vocals

jimmirakeul

My favorite stage was NCT & The Boyz x Ateez x Stray Kids! These two (4) stages were soooo epic! For NCT's stage, I really agree with what you say, NCT at the beginning of the year is not the same NCT that they are now. I do feel there's an elevation to their brand and I'm so proud of them! & I think they were the only group who really slowed it down for a vocal flex besides YooA covering BoA. I'm so happy that the other members are being recognize for their talents by non-NCTzens! For TBxAteexxSkz, I was so slow that catch on... I was like, hmm... why is the Boyz redoing their Kingdom stage? Why are they all fighting for the crown? and then it clicked! OMG!! KINGDOM!! That show is going to be epic! Although, I do kinda wish NCT Dream would be on there too!

DorkyMint

I so would like you to watch I-land.If you can please.

christa rolle

All those R&B runs and adlibs are definitely SM style. Most SM idols have this kind of vocal agility and some songs demonstrate this such as DO and Yoo Youngjin (Tell Me What Is Love), Baekhyun and DO (What Is Love), TVXQ (Before You Go), SM Ballad with Super Junior Kyuhyun, Shinee Jonghyun, TRAX Jay, and Pentagon Jinho (Hot Times), and many more.

Tracey Truong

All groups did so great!! Love every performances but NCT really stood out and was the best imo! from vocals, visuals, choreo, and even their vcr, everything on point! 🔥 I'm so happy that they got all the attention they deserve that night especially Taeil our "beret guy" I'm so happy for him! He's shining so much and I love it! 🥰 Lastly, it's a crime that KICK IT didn't won anything that night! They could have give it any special award tho. Still, I'm grateful that almost all got their deserved awards. What a great show! Thanks to all these amazing artists! (not to Mnet. lol) Thanks Jeff for your reaction as always! 💚

eve_ss

YES! NCTmentary please~

Sophy

the one who was skating from enhypen is sunghoon !!

Jaymee

All of the groups did so well! They all definitely worked so hard to give their best performances despite being treated like shit by MAMA (you know the parking lot incident). But anyway, I cannot wait for more exciting surprises from them next year!

Tracey Truong

Wow, I've watched it live while it was showing and it is still mind blowing the second time! I'm not entirely sure if it was all fake, but there were audience there that were invited online so some of the shouts were definitely real haha Also you should react to NCTmentary! There are five 4 minute videos and it's just very aesthetic :))

Kaszy Notte

Taeil and Doyoung said they tired of feeling unappreciated by the kpop community 😭 NCT were my favorite and I also enjoyed the Skz/Atz/Tbz battle and individual performances. I also ended looking up and listening to some artist groups for the first time like Enhypen,JO1 and oh my girl.

Guess

I absolutely love the first part of the TXT performance, they went so strong on those moves, and they were proper Saturday Night Fever, not just some moves that aim to merely resemble disco! 😅

Stefan

Taemin was definetely not in his best form i think, he looked kind of tired

Oriane Corral

for me NCT was one of the great performances of all time

Joanne Elizabeth

The song stray kids used was Victory Song, a bside that also had choreo along side the title track Miroh! They really changed the song and the vibe, the original choreography has it's own performance video and dance practice video although it's from before *his* departure. I'd recommend watching it when you have the time, and the original song itself is also very good ^^

Rinakuro

Idk why, but the outfits nct 127 wore during kick it reminded me of a Mariachi band. lol

Jay mill

Thank you so much!!! Now I have something to look forward to and survive todays work schedule. My favorite performances were Ateez, Stray Kids and The Boyz. I may be biased but they actually did a show and not just a simple song performance like other artists.

Theia

PLEAAASE do I-LAND! :D

moonchild

i haven't watched it yet but i just wanna say thank you jeff for the reaction! i know this was a lot to edit. we appreciate you. <3

Victoria

OMG finally! I’ve been waiting for this🤩
