PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
[Added May 9 & 10, 2020] The concept of a YouTube "reaction video" is that one or more vloggers watch a contemporary music video or scene from a contemporary movie that is recommended by a commenter or commenters. The vlogger/s usually show their reactions to that video by the way they act while watching it. The vlogger/s also comment about the video while watching it. Often part of what makes some of the vloggers' reactions so interesting is that the music videos may be from a different country than where the vloggers is from- for instance, African American vloggers reacting to African music.

Some commenters posting to that vlog then react to the vlogger's verbal and physical reactions and post information and their opinions about that music video or movie scene. Other commenters post requests for the vlogger/s to react to another music videos/movie scenes.

The videos in this post are presented based on their publishing date with the oldest (by one day) video given first.

Mansa Mayne and That Fire LA are African American vloggers. Their two vlogs showcase artists from various cultures and music genres throughout the world.

These are only some of the comments in those discussion threads about the vloggers' physical reactions to Sho Madjozi's "John Cena" rap. The commenters react to the fact that the vloggers' facial expressions and other movements while seated imitate the facial expression and dance movements that Sho Madjozie made while she sang "John Cena" on her COLORS video.

Some of the comments in the discussion thread for the video given as #2 were prompted by that vlogger's reaction, but referred to contemporary South African dance styles.

Disclaimer: These two vlogs aren't the only African American or other reaction videos of Sho Madjozi's "John Sena". These are just the first two that I watched. Much respect to other vlog reactions of this rap.

3. Grace Musimba
"your facial expression from 2:00 ...is LIT hehe"

4. Marcia Madonsela
"The way you frown that face though.😂😂😂"

"Though" at this sentence indicates that what is being noted is a compliment.

7. BushBaby Amy
"5:11 ... It's a vosho - not 'a drop'.
That's our SA dance moves 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦"
-snip-
In this vlog, Mansa Mayne referred to that move as "the drop".

"ZA" is an abbreviation for the nation of South Africa (from the old Dutch language name for that nation). "SA" is the contemporary abbreviation for that nation.

8. Bridgeee xxx
"he said "that little tongue action right there" ...bruhh if you only knew that it actually is how us South Africans dance🙌 , that facial expression is almost like the cherry on top 😂😂"

**
9. Yolanda Nxesi
"The Tongue is a dance we do when there is too much fire in the song!
-snip-
In standard English, this sentence would be something like “We stick out our tongues when we dance to a song that is very good, i.e. "It's fire" "It's lit", "It's the bomb", "It's a banger." etc.)"

The custom of sticking the tongue out while dancing is quite common in contemporary Hip Hop dancing. My guess is that it came from watching African dancing. However, I'm not sure about that.
