- (FBE) So today, you are going to be reacting to yourself.
- Oh no. Okay.
- Really? Okay.
I'm wondering what this is gonna be.
- Oh god. (chuckling) Okay.
Like my Kids React days?
- (FBE) You are going to be reacting to yourself
from the first Kids React episode you were in.
- Oh no! No, no.
I know exactly which one it was too.
It was "Friday" by Rebecca Black.
- That was five, six years ago.
It's gonna be a little awkward and embarrassing,
but also it will be a fun thing that I can laugh at.
It's really nice that, in the future, when I'm really old,
that I will be able to look at me in my youth.
- (FBE) The first thing we're going to do
is we're going to show you a picture of what you looked like
for your first episode. - Oh my god.
- There I am. Oh, look at my hair.
And my shirt.
- (chuckling) I feel like I look more or less the same.
I was 11, so that was six years ago.
- Ew! (giggling)
I look like a blueberry in that shirt!
This was seven or eight-year-old me.
Oh god.
The difference. The difference.
(giggling) Thank God for puberty.
- (FBE) Well, now we're going to show you
some footage from your first episode. - Oh boy.
- (FBE) Do you remember what the topic was?
- Um, I think it was-- oh, it was Mishka, the talking dog.
- (Olivia) I tried to get my dog to do this.
It did not work. - My voice is the same!
I thought it would change. It has a little bit,
but it's mostly the same.
- (FBE) So had you seen this before?
- (Olivia) Um, yeah, because me and my sister,
we obsessed with it for a long time. - I sound like a chipmunk.
- (Olivia) We tried to get our dog to talk,
but all she'd do is bark. - I'm so little.
- (FBE) Can dogs talk?
- (Olivia) Well, I don't know, because I love my dog
but I'm not sure if she loves me. (giggling)
- She loves me.
I now know that. I now know she loves me.
It's not just for food.
- (FBE) So can any animals talk?
- (Olivia) Humans can talk. - That's true.
Hey! We're not so different.
I remember it was like a totally different studio.
I was really small, as you can see.
This is my first time ever meeting Benny and Rafi.
Also, it's like, new people. Aah! Hope they like me.
I guess they did because I'm still here.
- (Carter) How do you feel? (Sydney) Oh my god.
- Oh, it's Captain America.
My facial expressions are, I think, the same.
They're very emotive. I don't really hide anything.
- (FBE) And you want to see the movie?
- (Sydney) No.
- (scoffing) Ooh, my voice is so weird with the gravelly--
It's like, "(gravelly) No."
- (FBE) Why don't you really want to see it?
- (Sydney) I think it looks really boring.
- Ooh, I don't like how I was like-- I don't like how my voice sounds.
I look cute, like kid cute, but I just sound really weird.
- (FBE) Can you tell us everything that you know
about Captain America?
- (Sydney) Um, I don't really know anything about Captain America.
- Honestly, that's the same too.
I miss being a little kid.
- (FBE) Do you know any of the actors that are in the movie?
- (Sydney) No. - (chuckling)
It's just me saying, "No. No. No. No."
- (FBE) If you were writing Captain America,
and you were like Captain America is your hero,
what would you name the villain?
- (Sydney) Captain United Kingdom.
- That was so cringy.
I'm really annoyed at my younger self.
- (FBE) Do you know where the idea for Captain America came from?
Do you know-- - (Sydney) No.
- Comic books.
- (Sydney) No, was it? - (FBE) It was actually a comic book.
- (Sydney) Wait, Captain Underpants? - (FBE) No, Captain America.
- "Captain Underpants." Are you kidding me?
- (Sydney) Oh, okay, sorry, because there's this book called
Captain Underpants that I think is--
- Because everyone knows who Captain Underpants is.
That is so dumb.
I'm so annoyed.
I thought Captain America was inspired by Captain Underpants?
That is so dumb.
- ♪ Sunday comes afterwards ♪ - (giggling)
Oh my god.
- (FBE) What did you think of the lyrics of the song?
- (Marlhy) You don't really talk about what you do
every single day. - Oh my god.
Oh boy.
- (FBE) So you think the song was good?
- (Marlhy) I think it's pretty bad. - No!
I was brutally honest.
I feel like now I'm polite and I respect everyone
and I respect everybody's decisions and opinions and feelings,
but back then, I did not give a single bother.
- (FBE) What about the guy in the middle of the video
that started rapping? - (Marlhy) I have no idea.
- (chuckling) Oh god.
- (FBE) What do you think is gonna happen to her career?
What happens now for Rebecca Black?
- I think she may get more famous by writing more bad songs.
- (giggling) I am so mean!
I respect seven or eight-year-old me for just saying whatever I wanted to
because I didn't care what people thought about me,
but at the same time, it's like you still need to have
an open mind and consider all sides to everything.
Some of the things I said could have
probably been offensive to some people.
I'm open minded and I like to consider all sides to things,
but that doesn't mean I'm going to throw away my opinion.
I'm still going to be brutally honest.
- (Marlhy) I really don't listen to girl music really.
- "Girl music"? - (Marlhy) I pretty much just listen
to classic stuff.
I don't really listen to actually poppish type stuff.
I play drums and we do Paramore and Linkin Park.
That's kind of poppish, but-- - (giggling)
I mean, things don't really change.
I feel like some things stayed the same.
I remember my first shooting day with Benny and Rafi.
I remember pulling up when they were literally
filming videos in their apartment.
I remember getting to the apartment and my mom calling my dad
and saying, "Hey, we're in front of the house right now.
Here's the address.
If I don't text you within the next five minutes,
letting you know that we're okay, I need you to call the cops."
And they were honestly the sweetest guys I'd ever met.
- (FBE) You've done this show since you were eight years old
and your first episode was actually the first episode
that only showed one video, and it was the episode
that started the Fines doing weekly releases
that have never stopped for the past six years.
- Wow.
(clapping)
Yay, growing up!
I joined the Fine brothers at a turning point in my life,
where I felt like I was actually going to start
growing up soon and I almost can't even imagine
what life was like before I joined them,
just because I did this show for so long.
It's like the Fine brothers had been a part of my life for so long.
I've loved every single minute of this,
and it's been such an amazing six years for me.
After leaving for a while, it broke my heart
because it's like I love Benny and Rafi
and I had been doing this for so long and so...
just finally getting to come back and be in the studio,
it feels really good.
It feels like home because this is basically my second family.
- (FBE) So how does it feel to watch yourself
being on Kids React, and now you're on Teens React,
knowing you really could keep being on this show
well into your adult years and beyond?
- I know.
I don't think there will really ever come a day
where I watch a complete episode and I don't wish
that I hadn't said something, so-- every single one I watched
was like, "Oh my god."
- I'm starting to apply for colleges now.
This summer, I'm getting that all done
because I'm a junior in high school.
I've been thinking what am I going to do in college?
Am I going to still be on React?
And I was like, well, yeah, I guess I could literally be on it
until the day I die.
I get to see myself grow and it's something
that I'm actually really thankful for.
- Viewers are able to have a personal connection
with the people on this show.
It's like the people on this show are just putting themselves out there
and being brutally honest and just giving their opinions
on different things and just getting to talk.
They've created these new shows for all ages,
so basically you can just watch these people grow up,
and I feel like that's something that you can't really see
in any other show.
You could see me on Elders React in 50 years.
So you guys could be stuck with me forever.
