I’ve never seen someone describe a vocal as a “yeah I’m cool” vocal, yet I still completely understand what he means 😂
Or describe pronunciation as “pronunciation without over pronunciation in that musically way.”

@@swee_bee it's four now actually
You do realize it sounds exactly like stronger from Steven universe
Fun fact: for Encanto, most of the voice actors are not professional voice actors that can sing but professional singer who just voice acted for the first time.
Its a bit diff for Rhenzy Feliz, the va for Camilo, idk if he voice acted in different movies but I heard he didnt have vocal training and sounds amazing in WDTAB, wish he got a solo song of his identity crisis struggle, he's only helpful if he's someone else
i think thats a better way to do it, although difficult, i feel like voice acting is much easier than singing (maybe?)
@@ohhhkaywhat9534 That would have been awesome. Something like "Who knows Camilo?" since, as you said, people relate to him when he mimics them, but they don't get to see who he truly is...and maybe he doesn't even know himself yet.
@@ohhhkaywhat9534 I can totally see that being a plot point in the future(sequel or series). Him making people happy by shape shifting into them, almost like he feels he can’t make people happy being Camilo. Just using Camilo’s gift.
@@ashleywilliams4665 What would even happen in a sequel? Not as analytical as a lot of the viewers, but I at least think the storyline is pretty done. If I did miss something (or at lot of things) pls tell me though. I do hope there is some kind of show or something where we can explore the family more though
The line “I’m pretty sure I’m worthless if I can’t be of service.” Hits me hard
Yeah same
Broke my heart and made me feel very seen
This
yeah I just kinda started crying a little watching Roomie's video during that line, it really hits close to home each time
Same but I read this right when she sang the line
3:26 honestly as a Southeast Asian, this song, and the whole movie itself hits close to home. I felt more represented in this film than Raya and I'm not even Colombian. Heck, even in some way, We Don't Talk About Bruno is kind of relatable because I actually have an uncle that is ostracized by most of his family (his siblings).
That one distant family member that sometimes your parents told you how they never tell anything back, how no one in the family don't know where they are, and no one wants to talk about it because it's just a convoluted drama of people being hurt, people hurting each other and people hurting themselves...
Ya... Totally get this kind of talk every time I forgot to call my mom back
Legit I have an uncle that we used to see at reunions or by visiting them at home but now it’s like he’s disappeared from our (extended family’s) lives and its so weird to know that ill probably never see him again, even though it felt so normal to have him around before, I guess there was always a tension that I never picked up on. Its sad to think that I’ll probably end up forgetting about him because i only have good memories of him.
Same
OMG there is always that one family member in south Asian families that makes problems and/or is ostracized 💀
Me realizing I am that uncle…
Petition to have Joel review classic Disney songs through the years.
Sign me uppp
so much good stuff to choose from c:
could do a fun VS video of the movie version of the song vs the pop artist cover they would have for the credits in most of the 90s musicals, and a few of the newer ones. Would bet on points for the in-movie version for everything except Into the Unknown and Circle of Life.

I'm Hispanic born and raised and I've discussed with my Asian friends how similar our cultures are. We put a lot of value into family. Our families are large and always involved in our lives. My non Hispanic non Asian friends couldn't understand why Mirabel was so attached to her family despite everything; why she didn't just walk out. Leaving our family is like ripping out a vital part of who we are.
Edit: I only mentioned Hispanics and Asians because that's what Joel mentioned. There's plenty of other cultures were family is very important.
o.o
As someone who is asian(South east) and loved and related to this movies themes of this movie, I have noticed these similarities too. The notion that mirabel could just leave her family makes me laugh. For us it's much harder to leave our family. Friends are treated as a distraction but family is treated as your life soul and only constant to try to leave that requires alot of strength which most of us don't have.
I'm hispanic and i completely agree
i am white, and no i won’t understand the societal pressure of how incredibly important family is. but i am the oldest of my siblings. if i were to walk out, they wouldn’t have me. my youngest sister would devastated. my other sister would get very depressed. my parents, mainly my mom cause i didn’t have a father until i was 5, from a young age counted on me to be there as a role model and help my siblings grow up. but also if i walked out, i’d have no stability in my life, financial or emotional.
Well I'm from Greece and it's the same here too, family above everything,it's the most important thing even if you like your family or not,you can't just leave
This song is stuck in my head, Just like We Don't Talk about bruno... i keep coming back to watch them.
Sammeeeee!!!
Felt
Same
The same here XD
lol same
Surface Pressure legit had me bawling my eyes out, and I see many other CZcamsrs get emotional when they hear it. It's relateable, it's sad, it's hopeless and at the same time it's such a catchy tune
Honestly Joel is so musically talented, I really hope he doesn’t stop doing all this. Thank u Joel for teaching me so much!
I totally agree with you! I used to play the piano ( a long time ago.. I'm ancient ) and the way he plays the piano its like his fingers are dancing on the keys SoOo nice to hear and see!
Bro the little bit where he sang makes me want him to do a cover
As a Hispanic person, to answer if we get pressure from parents to do well, I think it’s more so an immigrant parent thing. I’m the oldest child and grandchild on both sides of my family, and I’m a first generation child, so I was pretty much made to be like Isabella and Luisa, to be perfect and shoulder all the family bs while growing up. I love my younger siblings but they will never understand how much my parents hurt me emotionally growing up. Things with my parents are better now, but that pressure from not just my parents, but basically my entire family really got to me, which is why Encanto really got to me when I first watched it.
I’m sorry they treated you like that
Yup definitely an immigrant thing. I am Asian and a lot of Asian feel the same. The pressure to be a doctor, get a good job while not caring about our happiness. Same with Mexican, so much pressure to take care of the family and parent and get a good job etc (this is what a lot of Mexican people tell me since there a lot of them in California)
@@bobbysmith8095 Yeah, I mean, heck, I'm Romanian and I'm in the exact same boat as you and OP. Also first gen immigrant child, I was born in Romania and immigrated with my parents... Same thing, got to shoulder the burden, be the parents' caretaker, the whole "we immigrated so you can have a better future, so you owe us" rhetoric...
@@dreenyanYup I always wish I was those white American people lol No pressure at all and my parent will support and love me for any and everything. This is an impossible dream for every immigrant. Shoot my parent wouldn;t even happy if win the lottery and got 1 million dollar. They will just be Will you can do better or you didn;t earn it etc like WTF??? lol
@@bobbysmith8095 100% get it ^^' my boyfriend is North American (I live in Québec, Canada, so not exactly American per se) and grew up with a loving, supportive family...and is still mindblown and cannot understand the conditional love my parents have.... and i can't fathom the unconditional love his have ^^'
In many places, including Latin America, the pressure on older siblings in particular is quite complicated. In the movie, Luisa is not the oldest, but she has the same pressure (The dynamics change when you are the first grandchild)
Yeah but even if you aren’t the first born child, doesn’t mean the second born doesn’t get pressure, if it was just two children, then the first will have pressure while the other not so much unless a third child is born
I'm of African descent and a first born and, having met and discussed generational trauma/pressure put on us by family members with people from Hispanic and Asian descent, our childhoods were scarily similar.
It was like we shared the subsection of a Venn diagram
It’s just crazy too because some parents don’t even realize it. The other day I was telling my sister I related to Isabella in this movie and my mom overheard and said “I don’t know how but OK".
@@KaiKailuv I did the same thing (but with Luisa) and my mum just stared at me and walked off💀
✨ Generational trauma buddies ✨
My mom and dad had different reactions to the film. Mom did understand what it ment and she tries to avoid talking about the film in a deeper meaning. But at least she isn't afraid to talk about Luisa and understands why I relate. She was also parentified as a child.
As for my dad, he proposally missed the messaged of Luisas song. Even after my brother pointed all the attention to me by saying Luisa is the OLDER sister of Mirabel. Lin based Luisa off of his OLDER sister. Baiscally trying to put his attention to the fact that I'm the oldest sister. He said "So she saved the Titanic?" at the end of the song. He thought the song was about Luisa being a super hero and saving people with her power. I'm 100% sure he understood and he's just acting.
At the end of the film, he understood the message and spoke deeply about it. But he still claims the movie as witchcraft so........... 50/50 for him.
@@jocabedrivera7756 that’s just… wow
@@jocabedrivera7756 sounds exactly like what my african dad would do
She says the lyrics “Can I somehow preserve this” when she fixes Mirabel’s glasses! It’s showing how she wants to protect her I love this song so much
I never realized that. . . ;-;
Honestly, I didn’t expect to vibe with any Disney songs, but the songs in this are groovy af!
mate have you never seen the jungle book? every single song in it pretty much slaps
These songs were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. If you like these songs you might like some of his other works. He wrote the music in Moana, Vivo, Hamilton, and In the Heights.
Anything Lin-Manuel Miranda writes *s l a p s s*
I have watched movies over and over again that aren't even that good just 'cause of the music lol
@@yoko07 Same! He's so talented!
@@jayleigharriaga4604 Yess! I expect his name to be in the credits at least two times if he works on something lol
“Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks” is a line that always chokes me up. I find it so relatable not just because I’ve never been allowed to break down and cry no matter what was happening but also because my sister was always so patient with me and felt she couldn’t express her pain because of mine. (Just to clarify our parents are very great and supportive but we both suffered through abusive teachers and authority figures)
pressure from your parents in colombia?? yep
way too real, actually, pressure from your parents for all latinos in latam
I even dare to say is pretty common in hispanic households
Like, walking out of the house just because you are over 18 and wanna have a life of your own? hell no
Lyrics: ”light wind blows”
The movie: *shows a tornado*
Also aren’t we all just dancing through our anxiety at some point-
Also "Run with the ball" *carrying the whole world*
She tends to minimize her problems.
The “Give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure would’ve pulled you under” line makes me wonder if she knows she’s minimizing it. Like, yeah these problems are big and scary and out of my control, but if I tell myself it’s not that bad then I can handle it a little better; but that doesn’t cancel out the reality that she’s carrying the world on her shoulders
As a Korean, I can 100% confirm that Joel’s thoughts about the surface pressure being a strong Asian quality is true.
Amen!!!
Same w the japanese one (from a japanese person)
ㄹㅇ
@@lkoewgg2431 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅇㅈ
From a Japanese person: 100% accurate.
As a daughter from an Asian household with a lot of Spanish influence, pressure, especially when it's from your family, is on a very different level. This song made me cry the first time that I heard it because it's just sooooo real.
PS. In case you're wondering what Asian country has a lot of Spanish influence, it's the Philippines.
This is hands down my favorite song from the movie. I can't stop listening to it, seriously!
My favorite lyrics are:
Give it to your sister and never wonder
If the same pressure would've pulled you under
That cut deep
He has to watch all Encanto Songs they are incredible!
Literally, they are so catchy!
Ikr
I mean if you want him to watch all the songs, just let him watch the movie so he understands the context of the songs.
@@z4gee12 I think he should but he should post his reaction to the songs from his movie reactions so he has context but it’s also A blind one
Am I making sense😂😅
@@shellyappiah uhh if you mean like he does 2 reactions one before he watched the movie and one after he watched the movie
This song was so underrated compared to We Don't Talk About Bruno.
Not really, it's VARY GOOD, and fairly popular, it's just that it's a bit beneath WDTAB because a little more people prefer that over surface pressure(me too).
it's just that one has most characters sing, it's about BRUNO, and it has CAMILO, the best character in the movie
Okay but not as underrated as Waiting on a Miracle. 😤
I feel like “What Else Can I Do?”, “All Of You”, and “Dos Oruguitas” are more underrated imo. I barely hear anything abt these songs from ppl
@@aleedle_leee kinda, yeah, I would say it's 2nd to WDTAB, right above surface pressure, that's for me tho, while, I am not sure what Dos Orugutitas, Is, I heard people talk about it, but I am not sure
@@3bodYking99 Yeah, I understand your point. Also, I totally agree about Camilo. Best character!
The actress that sings this song made a jazz version on her CZcams and it is very nice sounding
3:00 under the SURF-ace. God the amount of details they put into it, every 2 seconds something different
It always shocks me how Joel always notices the tiniest details and just makes me appreciate and love these songs even more
Yeah. I didn’t even notice the background pressure from the backup vocals until he said it
I've been waiting for this since you reacted to "We Don't Talk About Bruno"
BTW this movie is mostly about generation trauma :). It doesn't necessarily have to be in Asian, and Japanese house holds, but it is more common from what I've seen/heard.
Yeee me too!!
it is very common for this to happen in most southeast asian countries. even just asian countries in general it’s very common. korea, china, india, japan, etc.
@@jaeydnheeren I was aware of the other countries you mentioned, but India? I didn't really know it was happening there. Thank you fore educating me 😊
very true, the language and culture may change but the message of family pressure, wanting to fit in, and not feeling like you are enough, will ring true for anyone who has gone/is going through something similar. We tend to enclose this to certain cultures but the truth is it could happen anywhere.
@@Ally12554 i dont live in india but i am indian/brown . And oh hell its super common. My grandparents and parents expect me to behave and do certain things. Eg the way i dress, the jobs i take, education path, who i marry etc. But hell my cousins and i have flipped the table fked up all their expectations. But its ok for us cuz we don't get in much trouble. But for others its harder
I was sold on drip drip drip in the song.
Is no one gonna mention that Louisa at 5:17 was doing a tik tok dance lol
Haha true
Camilo and Luisa are honestly the most accurate middle child characters. I’m a middle child, and I relate so much.
Same
Luisa is the eldest
@@saarah12 uhmm no it's Isabella
@@saarah12 no she’s not i looked it up
Luisa is the representation of the eldest child as she's also the eldest and the strongest. Her entire character is about the eldest and the strongest having to carry the family burden like most eldest children do in families
I'm not Colombian, but I am from Honduras. In Latam, parents encourage and maybe even pressure their children to be better and more successful than themselves.
Three generations back, it wasn't uncommon for people to only have primary level education. Two generations back, most people stuck to high school ed. With our parents, college level education was a must. Now, a lot of us feel pressured to keep the self-improvement cycle going.
It's pretty common for parents to say, "I worked hard so you could have a better life than myself", to their children. That sticks with us, and the second we feel like we're not making the most out of what our parents gave us through their own hard work and effort, a lot of use might end up feeling worthless or lost. That's why Encanto, a movie celebrating latino culture is about generational trauma. Our grandparents and parents mean well, but that doesn't mean that we don't feel the pressure that Luisa, Mirabel, or even Isabela feel. We all tend to have a natural instilled fear of not living up to expectations or being enough
i was thinking on how to comment about this pressure they put on us but your comment explained it best! I'm from Colombia but I think this can be easily seen in any family from Latinamerica. In most cases, our parents made enormous efforts so we can have a better life and succeed. However, since our countries are in development and the risk of falling into poverty or being at a civil war is greater, they also fear for our safety and survival when they stop being around, so while pushing us far from those situations they put a lot of pressure on us.
I also think that such fear comes from their own experiences of what they have seen, heard or lived, and in some cases it's almost like they get really scared for their children to live those same things and put high expectations on us to avoid such scenarios.
I'm Colombian and I totally agree with you
Im from Chile, and this is so true.
1:04 Joel saying how reggaetón is his Hispanic
Everyone from the Caribbean:
*Angry Intensifies*
How was he able to stay so calm through the “drip drip drip” part 🤯 he’s not human!!!
Joel’s just slowly gonna react to the whole movie… not mad about it
He already saw it ( 6:46 )
@@ZolDubs I know.. he hasn’t reacted to it lol
The way she (as in the singer) makes her voice match with the lyric is so cool! ( it's hard to explain)
I 100% percent get what you mean. I think one of the most obvious one's is with the last vesrse of the song "No cracks, no breaks
, No mistakes, no pressure" where she pauses the flow of the rhythm for a bit in between no breaks and no mistakes.
I totally agree. I expected Jessica to at minimum be a tall girl by how big she made her voice sound. But she is a tiny woman.
This is literally my favorite song in the whole movie and I loved seeing you analyze and enjoy it! 🥰🥰🥰
Being the eldest of the family, this song really hits hard through my soul.
I'm so glad you did a breakdown of this song!
I finally watched 'Encanto' last night, and teared up during this song. It hits so hard, especially with me as the eldest sibling (aka, the more mature, and emotionally "strong" one).
Such a good analysis, Joel!
Felt. I'm not the oldest, but there is a bigger gap between me and my older siblings than me and my younger siblings so I'm the babysitter mommy #2 type 😂 also the only "sane, responsible" kid lol but it's amazing just sitting back, and telling myself "yes, love others, but I am not responsible for saving everyone all the time. That's what Jesus is for. He died to take the burdens I can't handle alone. Because I can't do it alone." ❤ have an excellent day friend!
I teared up too 😢❤
I've watched the movie so many times I can't count anymore and I've yet to sing along and not cry 😭 when her voice changes deeper, it sounds like when I'm trying to sing while crying so I'd like to think that Luisa is also tearing up throughout this song too. So emotional.
This is my favourite song from the movie and Im so happy that its finally getting the recognition it deserves…
Also… WATCH ENCANTO ALREADY JOEL
He did watch it, and loved it.
A text update popped up on the screen after he said, "I should really watch this movie."
He did, editors put info about it when Joel was saying that he has to watch it. He loved it 😉
@@ceilinh6004 oh… missed it lol
@@Namse21 It was blink and you'll miss it.
Same!!!
5:57 why did this make me question “what”
I really love that you went through the chord progression of the song. Definitely a fun and enjoyable added feature to your video Joel! 😊
If you liked the “hurt and” “burden” rhyme, you should check out Hamilton songs! Written by the same artist, LMM, and packed FULL of fun rhymes and wordplay.
He know Hamilton lol
I watched Encanto and Tick, Tick Boom on the same flight 😂. That was a lot of LMM influence for one afternoon.
Not that I'm complaining. I'm a Hamilton fan.
Definitely sensed those LMM vibes during Surface Pressure. It evokes a similar intense feeling as hearing George Washington's part in Right Hand Man, specifically seeing it live with how forward the bass line is in that mix.
Not to mention the whole singing/rapping cadence and talking about being "of service" is very Hamilton-esque.
Or for even More fun. Watch House MD where his lyrical musings are just mwah!
I am a huge Hamilton fan and I thought nothing will ever beat that. I listened to ‘in the heights’ last week and that’s ON REPEAT!!! Lin Manuel Miranda is a gift to this world 😭😭😭😭❤️
Yeah, it blows us all away :)
This is definitely my favorite song from Encanto! Jessica Darrow who voiced Luisa did a jazz cover of Surface Pressure which is phenomenal!
*THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION I WILL CHECK THAT OUT IMMEDIATELY*
Joel’s reactions are always so satisfying to watch. I’d watch the vid twice just so I can also focus on Joel’s facial expressions only… love it!! 🥰
Bless you for editing your videos. I've been scrolling through other reactions and it's so painful. They keep restarting and it's going back to the same thing over and over again, thank you
Watching this with my family hit differently, my mom and I were just watching this and glancing at each other.
It's always interesting seeing Joel finding the chords on the piano just by listening to a song!! He's such a music genius!! ❤️👏🏻
I mean, that's also just ear training but ya, he awesome 😊
@@callisastapp7160 You do realize it sounds exactly like stronger from Steven universe
I love how right after the crescendo... she gets soft, weak, vulnerable, before putting the mask back on.
Yup, as a Mexican American, my household is very Hispanic. I think majority of Latin family’s can relate to this movie. Generational Trauma is unfortunately a common thing in Latin families. I also relate to Luisa, being an older sister to a lot of siblings and cousins, you tend to look after majority of the kids and work as a third parent. 🇲🇽❤️
The songs in this movie are just on another level, very catchy!
She is most definitely a contralto "this growing pressure" is back in the chest and opens up in the back of the throat. You can actually hear it happening, I love it!
5:50 best description
i rlly like u showed how the chord goes with the chorus and verse at the last bit of the video. ive always wanted to somehow learn how to play it so thank you for that roomie~
Joel is the only guy on CZcams who pitches in his intro almost 2½ minutes after his video has begun 😆
This is my favorite Encanto song! The very first time I ever heard it it just really caught me in the feels
Notice also that except the second part of the last chorus, right before the chorus, there's a full ensemble buildup and then as soon as the chorus hits it all drops out for just that piano and rhythm. The piano is just adding flourishes and the beat is all there is. Symbolizes weakness. Also a lot of the words are Trochees again indicating stress, uncertainty, worry, unsettled weakness.
Waiting On a Miracle, is my personal favorite. It almost made me cry.
Lin Manuel Miranda did incredible work and he deserve Oscar for "Dos Oruguitas" and finelly EGOT status ♥️ Please make reaction for In the Heights movie 🔥
Rooting for him!!
I won’t be surprised if it goes to the James Bond songs, since the academy loves to give Oscar’s to those songs that aren’t all that inventive.
Lyrics: "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be at service"
Roomie: 🤟🤟
5:22 you mentioned how it's funny to dance to a number about anxiety. As an older sister myself, this is how I interpret it: no matter how bad I feel about a bad situation, I always try to make sure the people around me (particularly my sister) feel reassured. I try to be strong and I try to make her laugh so that she can smile when times are tough. But inside, I'm hurting too
i'd love to see joel reviewing encanto as a whole and ranking the songs, because it's a def a movie that has a lot of divided opinion even if people generally really liked it or loved it. it would be a slight change in content but i always enjoy watching reviews, unless it's overtly negative. it's just fun seeing others opinions on movies etc.
DUDE THIS IS MY FAVOURITE ENCANTO SONG- ITS EITHER CAUSE I LIKE THE BEAT OR BC IM JUST REALLY STRESSED AND I HAVE FAMILY/SIBLING ISSUES😩
PLOT TWIST: I ALSO HAVE PARENT ISSUES SO DOUBLE HOMICIDE😍
I am half Colombian and I can definitely say yes, Colombian parents have high expectations for what their childs are doing. I see it with my dad and my aunt quite a lot.
Fr they wanted me to be the greatest drug dealer of this century and I'm like... Bro that's literally impossible Im a terrible liar
I’m part Colombian also!
I've seen a lot of reactions to these Encanto songs but I love how you change it up. You're expressing the types of beats and styles and then even go into the chords. It's really great to hear your take on it all rather than all those other channels that just go "ooh ahhh" haha
I watched this movie for the first time the other day and as soon as it was over I went right back and watched this song again! I’ve can’t remember ever doing that for any other movie. It’s so so so catchy!
A big part of this movie that is not talked about enough is how it's applicable to the immigrant experience in general, which is why I think that it is so similar to the Asian American experience.
Encanto's songs are really good! I watched it recently and expected to not like it, but I enjoyed it a lot.
I'm usually not big fan of musical type movies, but the songs in this one absolutely kill
What I love a out this song is the relatability of the lyrics, and how the song flows well as just like... a normal song. It doesn't sound like a disney movie song out of context. The first time I heard it was actually the No Resolve cover, and I had no idea it was a cover. I like the energy of that version more, having heard that one first, but it's really great either way.
How musically talented is Joel and how cool and fascinating is to watch him doing what he knows best and loves?!
By far my favorite song in this movie!!!! So glad you decided to review this one too
Yesss! So glad you reviewed this song!! And glad you watched it! The songs are great 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song is so fricking upbeat but its still able to bring a tear in my eye, its so good.
I am Colombian and I feel so happy to see you reacting to Surface Pressure! :D :D :D It's probably my favorite song out of all of them (the entire soundtrack is awesome). Regarding the pressure we feel from our parents, that definitely applies to us Colombians and I might dare to say most families in Latinamerica have the same type of dynamic. In this song she is also talking about the pressure we feel from "carrying" our family's problems like we are responsible from our family's wellbeing. That's why she says "And see if she can handle every family burden". I do agree that it is definitely something everyone can relate to, no matter where they come from.
Much love from Colombia!
I always love Joel's singing.
Also to add on to that comment with Luisa taking care of Mirabel, you notice the only time she's not is during that bridge where she's talking about shaking her burdens and just relaxing, which includes letting Mirable float around, adjust her glasses, pick up on the horse - just letting her sort herself out. Mirabel is always behind her. Honestly, this movie is a masterpiece of symbolism particularly with the clothing.
to me the bridge is what connects this song with the rest of the songs on the movie.. cause it has the same chords as Dos oruguitas, same happens on the song "The family madrigal" when the abuela sings, i liked that detail
Surface pressure was probably my favorite song in the movie! I agree that it's because of the song's content, but it's also so catchy! I might need to go watch this movie...again.
Listen to the jazz rendition of this song posted on the CZcams channel of the voice actress of Luisa.
My favorite of the songs from encanto
You should totally do Waiting On A Miracle next! It has some awesome vocals and is a great song! Great vid btw Joel!
Yooo, it's epic to see you react to Encanto, Roomie! Looking forward to to you reacting to the rest of Encanto, especially _Waiting on a Miracle_ 🥰💖
Disney just goes full on with it's music most of the times. It's amazing. Thanks for reacting to this Joel.
Joel you're so good with the piano!
This is my favorite song from the movie hands down! It's honestly so relatable on many levels.
It's my favourite song from encanto, to be honest bruno is a bit better for having multiple people in it but still it's amazing
I’m really enjoying these little music breakdowns at the end of these song reacts to teach us how to play the songs! Not that I have a clue how, but it makes me want to try! Thank you for this little extra touch!
I think the most relatable and “hard hitting” moment is the part where she goes from dreams of being able to relax and peacefully dance around in it clouds but the boulders come down and she catches them and sings that the pressure “never stops” and is looking at Mirabel with this defeated look. I’m sure most people have been in that moment. You struggle so long and fight so hard and look around to see so little progress that you think that your the struggle that has completely taken over your life and is crushing you underneath it is endless. You’ll never make it through, it will “never stop”.
I adore these videos so much! Hope you do more of the songs! Its so cool to see your reaction and then hearing how it works musically with the letters and learning about the technical side
I loved all the songs from Encanto, but Surface Pressure and We don't talk about Bruno are my all time fav's! Good job picking up all the little production details! Next can you react to Enemy by Imagine dragons and J.I.D from Arcane? That show's soundtrack was incredible! They even got Sting to do a song! There was also an epic Rap song in one of the episodes (it was called Dynasties and Dystopia)!!!
Am the only one that loves it when Joel does commentary on music videos like the drivers license one and this hope he does more!
The attention to detail of Roomie is very good, I learned new things to the song that I didn’t even noticed in the first place
Thank you so much for the piano tutorial!! So cool 😎
WOOOOOOOHHHOOOO!!!!!! FINALLYYYYY!!!!!!! LOVE YA VIDEOS JOEL!!! You introduced me to so many other genres and taught me a lot of music
Loved the little ‘tutorial’ in the end. Actually I’d like to see more of that, ‘cause it’s sort of really enjoyable :)
Yesss I wish it lasted longer
This is the song from the movie that gave me the strongest impression. It's so catchy and groovy while also hitting emotionally. It makes me want to dance and sing and cry all at the same time.
This was my favourite song from the movie! It’s has such a beautiful meaning
I really like how he goes over the chords after he goes through first impressions.
You should make a series where you react to disney songs :)
also this was my favorite song in Encanto thanks for reacting
I loved the chord progressions breakdown! Would love to see that in more song reactions
Joel makes me want to learn the keyboard.
What I love about his videos is we're enjoying the awesome reaction and the funny editing while also learning something new. And come on son, you gotta react to Hamilton soon.
