Thank you for coming along friendsss~ I hope you enjoyed FINALLY getting some MLP Equestria Girls songs lmao - lemme know what you wanna see next! 💙
Stray kids
tally hall please 🙏
i know you dont do this often but your reaction to MLP Equestria Girls movies
Maybe do ones about an artist called astuover
If you do another MLP video I recommend to listen to Battle of the Bands, Awesome as I Wanna Be, and This Day Aria
people can say what they want about equestria girls, but the songs were absolute bangers
No cap
AGREED 💅
Fr fr say it the eqg songs especially from the dazzlings were so good
I really like the EQG movies though. Like honestly, I enjoy them a lot more than most movies I've seen lol
All the songs the dazzlings played were such bops
"i know they're evil, but they sound better"
almost all ecuestria girls fans: we admit that you are correct
It's not even an admission, it's just a straight up fact.
Nah bc if this were a real show and yk, they weren’t evil, the dazzlings would have totally won
bahahah but it’s so true
@@maliablossom7340 Also, they lost because of plot. "The good always wins against evil"
@@dazzlinqqsure
The fact you called the songs sung by those three girls; hypnotizing. Is hilarious as they are Sirens!
I was thinking the ssme xD
He's under their spell fr
@@snicket5153 lmao yea
@@snicket5153 who wouldn't be lmao
And it’s basically their main power lol
Fun fact: twilight sparkle (the purple main character) and sunset shimmer (the orange character in the end) have the same singing voice actor. So she basically had a duet with herself
Savage
Well no,sunset shimmer are Voiced by rebecca and twylight is tara,maybe they have duet?,lmao.😂
@@Drawie_Cover_and.others. I think they meant the voice singer for both twilight and sunset. Not the voice actors.
Ohh
@@Drawie_Cover_and.others. they both have different voice actors and singing voices.
One thing that Equestria Girls does well with their songs, is that the villain songs always slap while the protags get more lighthearted and kinda corny songs- (minus one I think)
Is the “minus one” one my past is not today? because that song like is actually really really good
Really makes you root for the villains and I think that’s the point-
@@joceyyy_ that's literally the one I was thinking of, so probably lol. It is really good
Though they might also mean "Midnight in Me"
@@warriorcatkitty Midnight in me is so good lol
Past is not today is pretty good, but I also quite like Midnight in me (even if it's the same melody as Luna's song in the Christmas episode because that song is also great)
I like how you used the word hypnotizing to describe “Under Our Spell” because I’m not sure if you gathered this without context, but those characters are sirens, so most of their songs have this sound where you just feel forced to bop along.
Yeah their songs are literally hypnotizing
I know right literally hypnotizing
"battle of the bands" is much more alluring and hypnotizing for me
They did an amazing job on making them hypnotizing lol
Fr, I was literally looking for this comment bc I was thinking the same thing bc he said that, I was thinking that they are sirens and are literally hypnotizing ppl lol
I remember being OBSESSED with "Unleash the magic", "Under our spell" and "Battle of the Bands"
and (edit) "We will stand for Everfree"
SAME!
Find the magic is pretty underrated too.
sameee
The memories are flooding in 😭
I love the songs so much!
Sameeeee
“That’s weirdly hypnotizing” lmao the fact that the Dazzlings sang to hypnotize ppl makes this even funnier 😭
Ikrr 😭
i swear 😂
Fr lol
Okay but like, the Dazzlings should've gotten a version of Welcome to the Show that didn't have the Mane 6. Cause their parts slapped extra hard.
This version of the song is not "official", but it's just very well edited and doesn't have the mane 6 part in it. Check it out
czcams.com/video/e42yCiipGMA/video.html
Exactly
Isn't there anything out there that's like that?
@@euthanasiatbest There is actually 2 I believe
@@spunchs is it official?
"I just have to say that i like their sound more!"
Mathew is just stating facts here. The first time I heard this song I prefered the Dazzlings more because their voices sounds so strong, natural and really fits the vibe. Sure the Rainbooms were nice but I have to say that their voices sounded more like chipmunks singing and it didn't really match the song's vibe until Sunset Shimmer joined in.
It would make sense that their voice sounds good haha
Which actually makes sense, since Sunset Shimmer _literally was the piece they were missing to achieve harmony_ - both in their friendships AND musically.
...Rainbow Rocks is so good.
@@SilverScroll so accurate
fun fact twilight sparkle (the purple main character) and sunset shimmer (the orange character in the end) have the same singing voice actor. So she basically had a duet with herself i copyed this to show you
@@SilverScroll Oh that's exactly how I like to interpret it :D
The Dazzlings (the sirens) deserved more and I will stand by this.
Same
They need more screen time and more new movies/episodes about them
Didn’t they get a short?
Yes. They need their own movie but Hasbro won't do it T-T
Well I'm glad at least they still sing as shown in "Sunset''Backstage pass." A hypnotizing and mezmerizing song as always.
Ya, Equestrian Girls has some of the best songs in the series(counting Friendship is magic because they are connected). Especially Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games. They composed and created the songs so perfectly, I also feel like that’s when they finally realized that a good portion of the fan base were older kids or adults so they tried to create a mix of fun for the little kids while also intriguing the rest of us.
the way i rose from my bed like i just got fucking resuscitated from this notification
im glad to have saved ur life
@@MathewMcKenna thank you for your services
Lol same
THIS COMMENT IS A FUCKING GEM
It's so refreshing to see someone like you react to music so genuinely, especially from MLP. A lot of people tend to be like "Ew ponies? Isn't that for little girls? This music is trash." (When it's not at all! Daniel Ingram is frickin incredible.) But you have an open mind and have a lot of amazing commentary. I appreciate it so much!
I wouldn’t even say MLP is all that “kid friendly” either.
@@ILoveMayhem. I'd say it's friendly enough for kids to watch but a lot of the references/plot-lines in the episodes would go over their heads. Most of them wouldn't understand it like adults would. Then again there are lots of kids sensitive to emotion and they can feel for the main characters despite not being adults (during conflict or friend fights for example)
It's for a very diverse audience to enjoy that's for sure :^)
The fact that some people hate all the music piss me off so hard
That was basically my singular thought/opinion of mlp before giving season 2 episode 1 a shot(randomly recommended), and then discord happened and I loved him, and binged the entire series up to season 4(since season 5 wasn't out yet at the time) in a couple days. So, I have no right to get mad at people for thinking that, since I only started liking it because of a chaotic mishmash abomination.
@Endless Twist the song is better way to be bad and cozy glow says "crush our enemies to dust and laugh as they all scream"
under our spell is sooo good but here’s the thing.. THE AUDIO VERSION IS SOOO MUCH BETTER . they add an extra harmony and it makes it 100000% more enjoyable!!
Fun-fact about Daniel Ingram writing music for "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" as well as the "Equestria Girls" series: He made it a point to make it prevalent that there were 5-6 vocalists singing at a time, so he wrote all the harmonies for 5-6 vocalists and made sure they all blended well, which is why the harmonies all work so well. Daniel Ingram is a genius and is very versatile. All of the vocal music in "Friendship is Magic" and "Equestria Girls" were written by him, including the theme song from the first Equestria Girls installment, which I'm surprised you didn't react to!
Yes
Daniel should get a raise, he is so underrated
“it’s weirdly hypnotizing”
somebody tell him
Yeah they get people to be under their spell
A lot of Equestria Girls Shorts have really good songs. My personal favourites are "Run to break free", "The Other Side", "Shake things up", "Monday Blues", "Find the Magic" and "Let It Rain". If you ever make another reaction to EG songs, you should definatelly check some of these out
YESSSSS
OMG YESSSS I LOVE THOSE
YES PLEASE
OMG ARE THOSE THE SIDE SONGS FOR THE SHORTS??
AND,"DANCE MAGIC!"
Imo all the "villain" songs in the mlp franchise always hit a lot harder than the "protagonist/hero" songs
TOO TRUE THOUGH
Nah so true
Welcome to the Show is so funny to me because obviously the Mane 6 (7 in this case) are supposed to win, but the Dazzlings (the villains) song is just superior
YUHHHH
Was never about which song sounded.
Yeah
I could only imagine his reaction to "I'm on a yacht".
I bet a good number fans forgot it even exists.😂
oh god. I love it and hate it at the same time
Oh god dat song xD
Yes I like that one :P
The trio of villains from "Under Our Spell" and "Welcome to the Show" are Sirens so it makes sense that their voices are so good.
0:35 Cafeteria song - helping twilight win the crown
3:00 Big night
4:45 Under our spell💫
6:50 Unleash the magic
8:40 Welcome to the show
twilight*
If you want to listen to other good songs from the MLP franchise, there's the Movie, My Little Pony: The Movie. Open up your Eyes, Rainbows (sung by Sia by the way) and I'm the Friend that you Need are the best in my opinion, but they're all good!
Anyway, superb video as always, keep it up!
yes!!! the movie had some great songs
"OPEN UP YOUR EYES" IS SO GOOD, I LOST MY MIND
Basically all the songs from the movie - One Small Thing is my go-to smile song (more than The Smile Song!) so I'd call it a must. The Friend You Need and Open Up Your Eyes are also ~bangers~
And the new generation movie had some good one
I can’t wait for the web series
matthew NEEDS to listen to Welcome to the Show, that song has no right sounding so gooD
I'm assuming you can delete this comment now
8:40
Bro when you said that “Under Our Spell” was hypnotizing
You couldn’t be so accurate to the truth
10:34 I've always loved the minor harmonies they hit here. It just sends chills up my spine.
Same omg
Always get chills hahaha
ugh yes every time ITS SO GOOD!!
7 years after watching equestria girls, I still think "Welcome to our show" is an amazing song
YESSSS
seeing someone react to mlp songs without any bias from the fandom is really cool. just to know that these songs are objectively good is pretty validating 💀💀
Daniel Ingram is a beast when it comes to composing songs for the show and Equestria Girls. I feel like a lot of the songs from the Equestria Girls movies slap so much harder than a lot of the MLP songs. I love most of the songs the MLP show, but the music from the Equestria Girls' movies are amazing. I'm not a huge fan of Equestria Girls like I am with MLP, but I do appreciate and listen to the music pretty often.
It's actually perfect that you were swaying to Under Our Spell and Welcome To The Show since The Dazzlings (The three singing antagonists) are actually sirens! So you wanting them to win, swaying to their music and preferring it over the main characters shows they successfully did their job, huh?😂
you should listen to the old my little pony songs like This Day Aria (its a duet of the same voice actor) or Open up your eyes from the movie
they're both rlly good
OMG YES
I was just listening to an Unleash The Magic remix a few hours ago, and procceded to watch EQG: Friendship Games because of it. MLP:FIM was my childhood, it holds such a special place in my heart. I'd love to see a part two (2)!
Another great one I recommend from the three siren girls is Battle of the Bands
ACADECA and My Past is Not Today are also absolute BANGERS!
FACTSSS
"it's weirdly hypnotizing"
*little did you know the whole song was meant to hypnotize*
WHAT?? You COMPLETELY nailed how they use "This Is Our Big Night". Before the climax and then as a reprise at the end.
You NAILED it! Great video.
The sirens were legit FANTASTIC villains. Equestria went from being one of the worst parts of MLP to being one of the best.
"Oddly hypnotizing"
How ironic since that's exactly what's happening in the song.
What gave these songs the right to go this hard? I actual forgot they were this good. On another note, could you please react to songs by Prelor? especially anything from their new album stars on my ceiling, I haven't seen anyone react to his stuff yet and their sound is something I haven't really heard before in terms of style.
Even if I’m older now and can’t really bring myself to watch MLP anymore, the songs will always be in my playlist.
*Now that your under our spell~*
Applejack is best southern gurl
Edit: ALSO The singer for Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle is the same! Rebecca Shoichet
Day three asking you to react to a band called Tally Hall. They’re super underrated and have lots of good songs like “Hidden in the sand.”, “The Bidding.”, “Ruler of Everything.”, “Turn the Lights off.”
I'm surprised he didn't notice that one thing that without context it would confuse the masses... Heres what it was:
In the first song, The girl with yellow skin and red and yellow hair (Sunset Shimmer) was the villain, then in the last song she was helping them.... (Obviously I know what's going on because I watched the movie though 👀)
my jaw dropped at this notif
Same lol. My first thought was Oh Gosh with my eyes wide
in a... good way?
@@MathewMcKenna yess omg it’s just so weird to me that people haven’t listened to like rainbow rocks 😭
@@MathewMcKenna yeaaaaah lol. Mostly shock, really. It was like I had flashbacks.
The 2nd eq movie is definitely the best one imo
You should totally react to more more starkid musicals! I'd recommend Twisted or Black Friday (they both have very good music in my opinion and Black Friday is kind of like a sequel to TGWDLM, but also not in a way?)
Did not expect this but I'm glad it happened. MLP is just my greatest favorite childhood show, since I watched every episode without knowing the order, and when I finished every episode, I started watching the newest seasons. Heck, I bought at least 6 mlp figurines or whatever u call them, that were all so expensive so I had to buy them once every few months or so. Sometimes a year.
EQG really was the most surprising thing to come out of Gen 4 IMO. I couldn't find one positive opinion when the first movie was announced but the second movie changed so much, that by the time the third was announced people were actually looking forward to it! I've met some fans who stopped following the show at around seasons 5 or 6 but kept tabs on EQG which had become kind of it's own spin off at that point.
4:25 exactly what happened, used before a climax, then used again as a reprise at the end
Yes, mlp songs rock whether you like the movies/shows or not. Listening to them while watching the actual movie/show is way more crazy impressive and intense
i wish equestria girls was more loved within the fandom some years ago as it came to have so much heart
I say it my mlp phase was cringe but the songs are absolute bangers... its still hits to me even if I'm grown up. I remember meeting friends who were into mlp back then and we wouldn't even care if others called us childish since we aren't even doing anything bad but just singing mlp song at our corner and make fanart with our notebooks and pens. Good times. Its awfully corny and preppy but it just fits it and even as a child and with other we all definitely agree the antagonists' songs are better but the joyous ones still bangs. As much as the songs hits, it will hit BETTER WITH CONTEXT.
When i heard you say “welcome to the show” I legit had to pause the video and say a verbal _yes!_
Rainbow rocks was the first EG movie I’ve ever watched, and that was my favorite song from it. Honestly though MLP villain songs just absolutely slap, there’s no question to it.
Please react to some of the incredible fan-made mlp content
Specifically "Lullaby for a Princess" and "The Moon Rises" are some really phenomenal ones.
.
.
You mentioned you watched a couple seasons, so I'm not sure how much you've actually seen but, if you're wanting more from the actual mlp franchise,
I'd highly recommend:
"This Day Aria"
"Smile"
"A Kirin Tale"
"The Flim Flam Brothers Song (The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000)"
&
There is a particular musical episode that includes some of the best mlp songs, that'd I honestly just recommend reacting to the whole episode to get the full vibe of it. It's a parody on "A Christmas Carol" and the songs in it are spectacular.
"Say Goodbye to the Holiday"
"The Seeds of the Past"
"Pinkie's Present"
OMG THIS DAY ARIA IS SO GOOODDD trueeeeee
Oh yeah, he'd love This Day Aria
Yes
Two of my favorite Equestria Girls songs you should check out are "We Will Stand for Everfree" and "Shine Like Rainbows"
Everfree song is like "Unleash the Magic" whereas the orchestra and vocals are just amazing, and Shine like Rainbows have gorgeous harmonies.
The everfree song is so fire . it sends chills down, knowing the full context.
The second movie with the sirens is honestly the one with the best songs after the first movie in my opinion, it just hits so hard
i remember my dad downloading welcome to the show on his old laptop and i used to watch that exact music video everyday and now its so nostalgic
If he wants "braodway" like songs definitely should listen to "camp everfree" songs. especially the villain song
There are many musical songs in the MLP series that you should do reactions to. Many of these songs have amazing sound, good lyrics and great performance. I hope to see a video from you where you listen to a compilation of the best songs from MLP from season 2 to season 9.)
Yeesss my childhood!! I hope you more of these! A few underrated gems I'd recommend are "Let It Rain", "Find The Magic", and "ACADECA". The first two, while not from the movies but rather one-off muaic videos, are surprisingly moving and relatable, while the last is so epic and ridiculously over the top that you can't help but love it lol. Oh, the "Pep Rally" song is also a total jam. ;)
Every song in the EQG franchise is an absolute banger, well i mean they may have their ups and downs like all songs do but they're all still fun ones to listen to!
I sang Welcome to the Show at a talent show at my elementary school, love the movies and songs but yea
Would totally love to see you to react to more of the songs (especially from the movie), "Open up your eyes" is such a good villain song
Equestria Girls has some of the best songs, regardless of how anyone feels about the show/movies. They even released singles that came out with little music videos. I would LOVE to see you do more parts to this series!! Because there's a TON more songs that you'll like if you loved these!
Some I'd recommend are:
"Run to Break Free"
"Midnight in Me"
"I'm on a Yacht" (More of a joke but it kind of slaps even if it's cringe XD)
"Friendship Through the Ages"
"Coinky-Dink World"
"True Originals"
But there are plenty more!
I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS NOTIF OH MY GODDDD
Recommending for the second time that you react to Underverse just to up the chances for this suggestion to get noticed. Once again, the six year anniversary was just a few days ago, and the team working on it is extremely small (for example there's only one animator for the whole series). Plus, the plot is extremely engaging, and the art style and animation gets continuously better throughout the series to the point where season 2 so far looks like it could be a whole anime.
Growing up is realizing that "Under Our Spell" is just an MLP version of "I Put A Spell On You" from Hocus Pocus.
“They sound hypnotic.” Sir, they are sirens, that is… the point
You know, I kind of hope that we will get you reacting to the full movies some day! XD
I want a part two- we need ACADECA, Legend of Everfree, maybe some other unused villain songs. Villan songs for the win.
Im excited for Mathew to get into the shorts. We have bangers like Coinky Dink World, Run to Break free, 5 to 9, heck Rainbow Rocks still has a more to give if only he could find a way to listen the full versions.
The Dazzlings alone are a big reason to watch Rainbow Rocks. They're among the favourite antagonists in the entire series too, I think, and for good reason. You would probably like their Battle of the Bands song too. They also return much later in the series and do another song that's very different, but still works, I think.
Now I really wanna see you react to the movies, they have a pretty solid continuity that you don't actually need a lot of context from the show to understand. And you know, they're fun.
There’s a video called something like Unleash the Magic But Better If you want to hear the instrumentals really well. If you couldn’t tell already, I love the instrumentals for this song lol.
5:15 “It’s weirdly hypnotizing.”
Because it’s supposed to be hypnotizing. That’s what they’re doing 😂
The cafeteria song was my all-round favourite song when I was little
LET'S GOOO EQUESTRIA GIRLS MUSIC IS LITERALLY SO EPIC
the fact I grew up on these movies made me so happy that u did this-
Bro needs to listen to "Battle of the Bands," and also "Tricks Up My Sleeve." (Is that the name of Trixie's song?)
Yeah it is that's a banger
Actually, it does get a little Broadway-ish in the Equestria Girls Friendship Games. There is a song that I love called What more is out there? sang by Twilight Sparkle, but the original version is sung by both her and Sunset Shimmer, and it’s really awesome.
sorry but i have to mention that one person who uploaded "unleash the magic.. but better" LIKE THAT IS LITERALLY GOLDDD
they made the instrumental more noticeable which just makes me so happy!! whoever hasnt heard of that video i HIGHLY recommend checking it out if you like unleash the mgaic
Oh please do more Equestria Girls songs! People can say it's weird to have human versions of the ponies all they want, but they can't deny the songs are amazing!
All of the Equestria Girls songs remain in my heart to this day
Glad u like them, I’m 18 and I hate how people don’t get why I love this show causse of my age so I love watching adults realizing that most of the songs from the show are GREAT
There are some great songs in equestria girls. Rainbow rocks is one of my favorites, it also has alot of dope songs. Even now all these years later I got Trix up my sleeves is stuck in the back of my head.
To be honestly, I am not suprised that people like the villians more when it comes to their music and looks in movies/shows like these, the villians have very sassy and good songs and great designs to match, bit when it comes to the heros, their songs are always so out off tune and corny most of the time, and their designs aren’t always as flashy, the concept of the heros songs are great, they are about, caring, friendship, love, etc. But they rarely make it a total bop. Come on, let’s be real now.
Oh my god I’m so glad I found you. I’m in middle school so I also felt dumb for liking MLP songs until you came along and you love it as much as I do! Thanks for raising my confidence man!
My favorite song in the vid is “welcome to the show” because basically the beat goes hard and I like how Their voices from change to low to high and I also like how They have different tones and I also like their fits like the colors go so well together but I also like “under our spell” because also theirs different beats to the song and How it changes also :)
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend “Shine Like Rainbows” and “We Will Stand for Everfree”. Both are amazing songs from Equestria Girls. Interestingly, Shine Like Rainbows is the end credits song but it’s sooooo good!
Unleash the magic is easily one of the best songs I've heard in cartoons, honestly though, you can say bad stuff about mlp and the other songs all you like but they're bangers, especially the villain songs, they absolutely slayed
Man, you keep doing this thing where you react to things I've always wanted you to react to yet I never expected you do it. I keep being pleasantly surprised when I open youtube. I love your reactions and this is such a nostalgia trip that I keep returning to.
Amazing job keep it up you're amazing! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
@MathewMcKenna The story of the first Equestria Girls movie is that Twillight from Equestria follows her stolen crown to the Human-World.
I feel like the Dazzlings honestly have the best songs out of any of the Equestria Girls Villains. The vocals and the music are a perfect match I mean really!
Also, you've earned a new subscriber. ^^
This video was so nostalgic for me mlp was my childhood 😭also you should listen to the pinkpantheress their songs are amazing 😔👍🏽
Line about changing the lyrics and some of these are a lot like pop songs is SO true...
(Under Our Spell is awesome too)
I've also heard in this video and I believe another mlp one you asking for them to go higher... I'd keep in mind that most of the main cast shares VAs, and that to keep each character voice recognizable, there's a limit to how high many can go (I'm thinking Rainbow Dash and Applejack in particular). This isn't necessarily true for each individual character, but for group songs with harmonies, it can still have an impact
"It's almost hypnotizing" **y-you don't say-**
I'd love to see you watch more MLP. I don't know which ones you've seen, though. The MLP movie had some fantastic songs too. There's a lot of great music in cartoons. Just discovered your channel a bit ago. Love it!
Daniel Ingram is a legend, what he did with MLP music is nothing short of amazing and any studio that will have him onboard will be blessed
Thank you for reacting to this. The equestria girls songs are such bops.
Please make a second part of this! There are still some really good and unique songs like “Battle”, “My past is not today” or “The midnight in me”.
I was hoping to get more of the scene after unleash the magic, because that scream was just, damn.
