Born singer isn’t exactly like a cover to say… J.Cole has a song called Born Sinner. BTS used the melody of that song, but changed the lyrics to fit their own experiences. They released the song as a “free song” on SoundCloud since it technically wasn’t their song to release back in 2013. To have it be released on the album Proof means they got permission from J.Cole and his crew to release the song which is amazing. The song is so personal to them and army. There’s a performance of it with the lyrics that is so emotional and powerful. ua-cam.com/video/8cUQ3lF3_O8/v-deo.html For Youth is also a song I want to talk about. The intro of that song actually plays a clip of Army singing the song “Young Forever” with BTS. Young forever is a song all armies hold dear to them for many reasons. The clip then faded out and leads to Jungkook singing (by the way his vocals in For Youth is just 🤌) and one of my favorite moments is the ending with V. His deep voice just gives the song a different vibe and is executed so perfectly. It reminds me of his ending in “Sea” Edit: also I think it’s so cool that Anderson spoke in Korean to them for a little bit. Friendship goals 💜 Another edit: I miss BTS concerts! The energy from them and army were just amazing! I miss that feeling and really want to go back 😭 so everyone going to the concert in Busan, have fun!
@@roses2361 he’s a quarter Korean. His mom is half. His life can be a very interesting movie that needs to be made. There is a write up about his family history it’s crazy. The .Paak is an homage to his Korean roots by using a Korean last name.
First, the editor’s notes are killing me. 😂 Second, I was so emotional through this. The first time I watched it I thought it sounded like a goodbye. I know it’s just a break, but it’s like you can FEEL how much they love and appreciate ARMY. Like they wanted to give us something special to hold on to until they return. 🥺😭💜💜💜
"I'll be with you for the rest of my life" 🥲💜 BTS really wrote a letter to ARMY, each other, and their other special people, in these songs. I loved your reaction! It had all the elements that make your reactions unique. Sigh. This one put me in my feels. CFA P.S. Shout out to BREE!
I’m so happy that you stumbled into BTS and we stumbled into your reactions. BTS has truly enriched all of our lives. I don’t understand what super powers they possess that make make them sing so perfectly together and that make us all feel their music so deeply without even knowing what the lyrics are sometimes. It enters our souls and makes the world feel more loved. I’m not explaining it well. Their music goes past my brain, through my heart and into my soul. Lucky us.
I am a hobi biased and, as we all know, hobi's stage presence and performance skills have always been so impeccable that I didn't think he could ever improve, cuz he was already so good but seeing him during his verse in this perfomance of for youth, his gestures and the way he moved, he showcased a completely different character from everything he's done in the past I honestly felt some lady gaga vibes from his posture in this, and it actually made me wonder if he was at all influenced by her show that he had just watched in Vegas before this was recorded then his single more came out and, once again, I saw a new character being displayed by him not gonna say too much not to spoil things for you, but his movements, the way he delivers lines and holds himself during that song and music video, felt again so new and fresh that I was one more surprised by his endless facets and talents seriously, please pay attention to his body language during performances, it's crazy how he's so subtle and so expressive at the same time
I agree, Andrew. This performance was special---all seven hitting on all cylinders. Yet to Come and For Youth sound like completely different songs here--groovy, soulful vibes. I love, love, love me some BTS with live instrumentalists and background singers! Their live performances always take their recorded tracks to another level.
I was there at the first LA concert too and what you’re saying is dead on. I was also an Army for about 8 months at the time. The connection between Army and BTS is always palpable when they get together. I don’t want to be dramatic but it always makes me think of what Hobi said on V live once, “You see me? Yea, I see you.” BTS and Army’s souls are intertwined for life. The LA and Vegas concerts were some of the happiness moments I have ever had. Have never experienced anything like before. Such a privilege and highlight of my life. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Best performance ever from a watcher point of view because the sound was perfect, the balance between the volume of the band and the voices was great. We could well focus on their voices and how they vibes with the live band and backing vocals. When u hear this live performance with headphones it is gorgeous the depth of the sound and how they improved their vocals. Even if i enjoy watching them dancing and singing, this kind of calmer set is perfect to appreciate their voices. And definitly BTS with a live band hit so different, the groove is so GOOD i LOVE how they arrange the songs with live band it sounds soooo much better than a back track. I wish they could always performe with a live band even during an entire concert. And i am totally agree with you that Anderson Paak was fire, he gave an other dimension to Yet to come. My favorite is still For Youth i like the groove kinda jazzy/RnB and all their voices shined so bright in this kind of song. 💜
I love this live band version! Even better than the studio recorded versions. Appreciate how you described it. They seemed to really enjoy it and it had a super fun vibe like the NPR Tiny Desk Concert or a couple of the MTV Unplugged performances. BTS seems to think we only love the singing with choreo, but their voices are so superb I hope they give themselves permission to relax and do more seated performing.
They really are the ultimate performers. When you find yourself smiling at a screen for no reason you know you are watching something good for the heart, a purple one at that 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜Finding these young men over 2 years ago has given me back the music that everyday life had taken away, they are my daily dose of happiness ☺️
This is probably my favorite reaction for this particular set... You're responses, excitement and feelings couldn't have been more genuine and articulated. If you weren't emotionally touched by the end... get checked out!! I've watched it many times over and it always hits the same. I can't get enough 💜
I had tickets for Dallas TX concert ... then covid... and all shows were postponed but not cancelled. I held onto those tickets for over a year and cried when Big Hit finally cancelled. Most of us were willing to wait even longer but I did go to LA show later.
i'm at 32:27, and your description of what being at the concert felt like is making my cry right now 😭 (happy tears, and also because i miss being able to go to their concerts) aahhhhh okay, I'll be back with more... ETA1: YES 🙌 for the CD3 comparison videos! I'm curious what you would find from the music side of things, how songs changed/adapted/modulated/... (or not?) ETA2: when you explained the triplets rhythm... i confess i totally expected "ta te ti" instead of "tri-p-lets" 🤣 I keep replaying it, and get sucked into the video, and your discussions, so that i forget to note down things that i want to comment! so there will probably be even more ETA's in the future 😅 but for now, thank you Andrew, and I'll also join our editor in regards to Born singer 😜💜 🥕 CFA
No one does it like BTS. They truely touch your heart strings. 💜 Looking forward to seeing the comparative reactions with rhe unrealised songs. That would be sooo interesting.
Yay, glad you were able to watch this! Yeah I’ve been listening to Born Singer so much since Proof came out, also love the guitar and live vocals in this performance 🤩. Really cool to hear the comments about Anderson’s drumming- I thought he sounded great but am not familiar with drum playing so it’s interesting to hear the details of why! Hoping for another (full) silk sonic collab eventually!
You really should’ve done this reaction with Caitlin because you obviously needed a hug. All those songs are so emotionally charged. Thank you for pointing out Anderson’s drumming. A good drummer adds so much colour to a performance. It was a wonderful touch having him there. That key change in For Youth really adds so much passion and V’s ending is the icing on the cake. It was lovely that they included all those who’ve been with them from the beginning and not just fans but staff and family too. Moving away from the music, I’d like to know which sadist dressed poor Jimin and SUGA in jumpers in the desert. They all looked so incredible in shades of blue and grey but those two must have been so hot. The makeup ladies must’ve been working flat out on all of them to keep down the shine.
This live performance is one of my favourite. I love everything bout it. The songs, melodies, backgrounds, backing vocal, bands, clothes, glasses, everything 💜
This performance was so amazing. It came after Proof was released, and I had already heard the songs, but they were even better live! I had heard the two early performances of Born Singer before, and considered it one of their most underrated songs, but now that it's on this album, I don't think it can count as underrated any more. That song is like the soul of BTS, and the fact that it was one of the first songs they sang, back when it was all in front of them and their dreams were yet unrealized--is telling. It's the prophecy that came true. Best to Come and For Youth just gain in beauty and meaning every day, as we begin to see their new endeavors, and bask in the knowing of how special ARMY is to them, that they write us love songs and promise us their lifelong devotion, for which we reciprocate in kind!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
To this day I still cry sometimes when I hear For Youth hahah After the Festa dinner I felt an even stronger desire for them to be happy too, so like you I'm also excited for all their solo activities in chapter 2!
I love how you expressed the feelings you had on your first BTS concert Andrew, and the feelings you had seeing BTSARMY 💜 I felt the same on my first ( and till now, only) BTS concert 1.june.2019 in wembley I will never forget that feeling! It was the best day of my life💜 Happy 9th Army day🥳💃
The only way to get through this chapter is to throw ourselves into the past from the beginning as we are going on their individual projects with them💜💜
Looking forward to future BTS concerts wherein they do something like this, kinda chill, sitdown and jamming with a live band. They sound amazing! Really reallt impressive!
감사합니다💜 감사합니다💜 Thanks for sharing your opinion.😘 Your every word is full of passion and love of BTS. I'm so happy this time to hear your story.🤗🙏🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am so glad you were not spoilt with the special guest!!! BTS live is heavenly. Also Born singer is so good! I know you haven't heard the original but just know that some of the lyrics got changed in this version (most notably RM) so that would be one thing to keep in mind when you listen to the original one Andrew! Amazing reaction as always!!! This proof live is even more emotional to watch knowing what we know now about the current break.
yes, i only watched the talking portion when it first aired, and since then only rewatched the songs, so now seeing them talk about these things again just hit me all over again
Bts on live performances is just truly amazing. Can't wait to go on their concert jn the future. Hoping! ❤️💜 Ps: your reaction is amazing. It's as heartwarming as the performance. ♥️
Always a pleasure, Andrew. I remember being so in the moment with this Live that the end felt incredibly abrupt. I didn't want it to end. Born Singer is an emotional piece always. I am a sucker for vocal harmonies; I wish they would do this more often. Yet to Come: soothing and quietly addicting. For Youth: the prettiest love song ever. The mutual respect between BTS and Anderson Paak was beautiful to see. I respect the later for speaking the Korean he knew with the boys--that was a class move. I am looking forward to the Proof demo comparisons. Great idea!
This is their version of Born Sinner which (I think) Suga wrote either right before or right after their debut. It's basically about how they preserver through their hardships because they're meant to be singers. It's really beautiful and I would check out the stage mix youtube video because I think you can react to it without it being blocked. They performed it only a couple of times and they modify the lyrics depending on where they are in their journey.
I love how excited you are watching this! Samesies, without the musical notes! They are extra amazing in this, and the live band/backup was *chef's kiss*, Pak killed those drums! 😍 I am also a newer ARMY (Butter Era), and saw them D1 LA & D4 LV live (D2 LA & D3 LV LivePlay-which was awesome), and your description of the purple aura & ARMY+BTS synergy at the concerts is...something that must be experienced to fully explain! The sheer love & joy & shared tears in the stadiums, the crowd interaction with bombs & fanchants & members...I've never experienced anything like it. An almost spiritual experience, a good cult, I guess?! 💜
I know they have several performances of Yet to Come and For Youth but this is my very favorite. Do I love their dancing? Of course! But I also love hearing them just sing! I enjoy listening to their beautiful ad-libs and harmonies that are harder to hear on the track. All of these songs show their depth of talent and synergy. They truly are a unicorn. Not just in K-pop, but in the music industry as a whole.
Yes to doing the video on comparing the released track vs the demo/guide track. Very interested to know what you think, and hopefully you do it for each song. You'd probably be the first reactor to do that if you'd do all the songs. Please do it. :)
Love love love Born Singer - so happy they included it in the album. There're older live performances which show the raw emotions sooo good. I don't have a link at the moment but I'm sure another ARMY will help out.
If you get emotional at how Tae sang the last line of "For Youth", you should watch the Music Bank version. His expression in that performance is just ...
Yes i'm really not a cryer but I teared up at the end the 1st time but after the festa dinner I couldn't even watch it without crying like I've barely cried before😂😂!
Please check out the article Duane Benjamin Collaborates With BTS for UA-cam Livestream Hit "Proof". He's the one who put together the performance (arranges the music, hires the background singers and the band, etc.)
I loved your reactions to this, some of them were like mine the first time I watched it. I am happy I watched it before the Fiesta because I may of cried at the end! Born Singer has always been a favorite of mine since the first time I saw it. If you find the footage of them singing it at concerts it really is an emotional song! ( I will look forward to you finding the different performances and comparing the lyrics). I am so glad they got rights to it and were able to add it to the cd's. Now I just have to find the cd's (they were out of it at the store I went to :(). For Youth I love the song, I liked everything about it! Yet to Come in this live was amazing with Anderson on the drums and the backup singers! I love when BTS performs live with bands. I agree this was a perfect stage to their last as a group for a little while. (I say little because we don't know how long, with solo's and if military duty call's but one thing I do know is Time does seem to go fast)!.
I was waiting for your reaction to this work of art! wasn't it?? tears tears and more tears!! I've gotten used to streaming For Youth so I can hear it without crying but.. seeing them again singing it live ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! hits the feels so hard, it's such a beautiful, exquisite performance, and the lyrics of that song are so heartbreaking and they emote every single word of it, it's impossible not to be moved by it!! I'm gonna be madddd if they don't perform it in October's concert.. Bangtan!!... you better do that, pls? lol does it make me an manti? jgasjdhgdh I'm just such a For Youth hard-stan, love that song with every cell in my body
I loved this reaction so much Andrew! I do love it a lot when you explain things for us ignorami - about the finer points in the music - it is so fascinating to me. Really makes me want to learn more about music theory.
Just another vote for Born Singer! Definitely start at the beginning: that live version Sunshine Sam mentioned. It's impressive on many levels. My favorite part is hearing Jin sing, "I'm a born singer / Perhaps it's an early confession / But I'm so happy I'm good." 💜
Amazing reaction as usual! Loved it when you break the performances down, but also your reaction to everyone's singing and rapping - this is such a brilliant performance so I'm so glad you enjoyed it too!! 💜
I am randomly back here again at this video. it's so good 💜 and your comments along with it make me appreciate the performance and music even more. Now, back to patreon and rewatch the busan concert with you, again 🏃
Andrew please analyze for us the different versions of their songs demos. It will be sooooo interesting to me (or at least a few). The draft they submit to the production/writers/composer team and the end results are so different sometimes. I would be somewhat frustrated to witness my version modified so much there's almost no trace of my work anymore although the end result justify the process and benefits to everyone. PLEASE DO IT 🙏💜 🙂
Ok, I'll number haha: 1- There is a video in Twitter with Daechwita without his voice. I've tagged you twice and erased both times, minutes ago haha. I think that it's a great song for you to react. 2- Epiphany's demo is a completely different song. And it's beautiful too. I'd like to see you react to both together. 3- There is a word in Born Singer that Suga decided to omit in this version but that marks a note in a silence, you will notice it easily the next time when you react to it -it's in English, and it's a curse-. 4- I was really waiting for you to react to For Youth. After their concerts, after filming the Festa Dinner but before it was aired, they filmed in three different music shows live versions with ARMY of Yet to Come and For Youth. Each of them, but in special the three of For Youth, is so touching and special. You can find them in Music Bank, Inkigayo and M Countdown. But yes, in their new three songs, in Proof, I felt what you said: in each song there is a moment when each of them is shining. And I was so surprised and happy for Jin in his verse here, and his growling in Run BTS, I wish he can trust and explore to the maximum the incredible voice he has. 5- Thank you so much for your reactions, I don't mind at all when you stop to share your thoughts or your knowledge: I have already watched and heard the real material before and I wouldn't watch someone reacting to it if they would just see it making faces. I appreciate your words and points of view and feel that you are good company and an enriching experience.
Hey, sorry I couldn't watch till now, but YES! Anderson brought Yet to Come to life in a sense. And as I, as a pagan xD, would say "he was singing-drumming", like he was accentuating the vocals as opposed to just support, being underneath, the drums was the 8th voice in the song if that makes sense? ^^UUUU again, non musician here, but usually the instrumental melody doesn't have to coincide with the vocal melody mmm... Whatever. I loved it as much as you, so no worries, you were not over the top there hahaha And For Youth is... that song. Mnet: ua-cam.com/video/zrjqB0Bpf1E/v-deo.html :_) (they built a stage to attend a show from an arena with 4k army... to say "see you later" and later being October... they are crazy)
Yes, please, Andrew, please review the demos and compare with the released versions. Some true gems that would never have seen the light of day… My favourite is RM’s demo for Young Forever! It contains gold nuggets of genius… but I’ll let you judge for yourself!
I freakin' knew it. When I voted last time, was so sure it was gonna be More, but suspected it's this one instead because it's always like this. Always your quizes end up the same way for me, I vote for what seems the most obvious but it's the least obvious choice imo :))))))))))) Next time I'll vote for the least obvious one :D
as soon as I heard RM's part in Born Singer, I felt it was different than the original one they did in 2013(?). getting emotional right there with you. can't wait to see your comparison's of the demo versions VS the final versions of the songs.
I would love for you to make videos comparing the demos on the third CD of Proof to the final versions. I know nothing of music and always learn a lot watching you explain BTS songs.
Born Singer. It is their version of Born Sinner by J Cole, they sample the beat. Despite the title, it is like 80% rapping. No music vid, so do a color-coded lyric video, and then follow it up with this iconic live performance of it, since there is no music video: ua-cam.com/video/8cUQ3lF3_O8/v-deo.html Their past selves singing it to each other. Their present selves singing it to us. Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. They updated this song for the Proof album. It was written after their 100 days as BTS. I cried on 1st listen. Just stunning and so much feels. Wow. I am glad u felt them. =0] Their past selves singing it to each other. Their present selves singing it to us. For the past live's i think they sang it only twice before 2015 and 2017 live stages. Hugs. Love u. -NY USA 2019 Army💟

Very well said. 💜
Anderson is half-Korean and is married to a Korean woman btw. That’s why he can speak Korean.
@@roses2361 I know I’m just saying I thought it was cool that he did

One thing I love about BTS is that they are really comfortable putting raw emotion into their performances. It's not showy, but it's very powerful.

P.S. Shout out to BREE!
*They just announced a BTS concert in Busan in October this year!*
I'm sooo excited! 🤯😭🥳
OCTOBER CONCERT IN BUSAN LETS GOOOO!!!!!
Busan and October. Jimin was born in both Busan and October. Imagine the birthday events they’ll have
Yes, a "Global" concert - so hopefully we'll have theater experiences or at least live broadcast.
@@debhouckscraftycottage ahhh I really Hope so, I will be checking the cinema announcements🤧🤧
This was filmed at an abandoned waterpark called Rock-a-hula that is about 20 miles from Barstow, CA and 135 miles from Las Vegas.
oohhh i didn't know that! i looks like a very cool scenery
The “I’ll be with you for the rest of my life” always makes me emotional and end up getting teary eyed 🥲
This performance is soooo good and they have never sounded better, imo. I’m so excited for the future! 💜
So true!! Never thought these songs could be even better than on the CD, but live they really blew me away!! Breathtaking beautiful 💜
Happy 9th ARMY DAY everyone 💜💃🌻🤗💜
I’m so happy that you stumbled into BTS and we stumbled into your reactions. BTS has truly enriched all of our lives. I don’t understand what super powers they possess that make make them sing so perfectly together and that make us all feel their music so deeply without even knowing what the lyrics are sometimes.

Well said
(One of) Their superpowers are PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE & Repeat; their innate talents & work ethic as artists.
😢😢😂😂 Their last " ''ments" and Hobi's "Love you ARMY" , OH, so sweet. 💜
I am a hobi biased and, as we all know, hobi's stage presence and performance skills have always been so impeccable that I didn't think he could ever improve, cuz he was already so good
but seeing him during his verse in this perfomance of for youth, his gestures and the way he moved, he showcased a completely different character from everything he's done in the past
I honestly felt some lady gaga vibes from his posture in this, and it actually made me wonder if he was at all influenced by her show that he had just watched in Vegas before this was recorded
then his single more came out and, once again, I saw a new character being displayed by him
not gonna say too much not to spoil things for you, but his movements, the way he delivers lines and holds himself during that song and music video, felt again so new and fresh that I was one more surprised by his endless facets and talents
seriously, please pay attention to his body language during performances, it's crazy how he's so subtle and so expressive at the same time
Anderson is 1/2 Korean( his mom) and his wife is Korean
I agree, Andrew. This performance was special---all seven hitting on all cylinders. Yet to Come and For Youth sound like completely different songs here--groovy, soulful vibes. I love, love, love me some BTS with live instrumentalists and background singers! Their live performances always take their recorded tracks to another level.

Thank you Andrew. You expressed EXACTLY the entire range of my emotions! “Iconic” is the word which comes to mind.
They're doing a group concert in October in Korea!!
I swear they are getting better at singing/rapping if that's even possible, I'm so proud of them 🥺🥺❤️
I had tickets for Dallas TX concert ... then covid... and all shows were postponed but not cancelled. I held onto those tickets for over a year and cried when Big Hit finally cancelled. Most of us were willing to wait even longer but I did go to LA show later.
I really really love this proof live...
Jungkook killing the adlibs and harmonizing👏👏👏all of them are so great and all amazing voices..

They all looked so incredible in shades of blue and grey but those two must have been so hot. The makeup ladies must’ve been working flat out on all of them to keep down the shine.
This live performance is one of my favourite. I love everything bout it. The songs, melodies, backgrounds, backing vocal, bands, clothes, glasses, everything 💜
Love your breakdown of Anderson .Paak’s drumming. Completely agree. It lifts an already good song, adding additional soulfulness.
This performance was so amazing. It came after Proof was released, and I had already heard the songs, but they were even better live! I had heard the two early performances of Born Singer before, and considered it one of their most underrated songs, but now that it's on this album, I don't think it can count as underrated any more. That song is like the soul of BTS, and the fact that it was one of the first songs they sang, back when it was all in front of them and their dreams were yet unrealized--is telling. It's the prophecy that came true. Best to Come and For Youth just gain in beauty and meaning every day, as we begin to see their new endeavors, and bask in the knowing of how special ARMY is to them, that they write us love songs and promise us their lifelong devotion, for which we reciprocate in kind!!!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
To this day I still cry sometimes when I hear For Youth hahah After the Festa dinner I felt an even stronger desire for them to be happy too, so like you I'm also excited for all their solo activities in chapter 2!
They are always better live. I love the energy. 💜
I love how you expressed the feelings you had on your first BTS concert Andrew, and the feelings you had seeing BTSARMY 💜
I felt the same on my first ( and till now, only) BTS concert 1.june.2019 in wembley
I will never forget that feeling! It was the best day of my life💜
Happy 9th Army day🥳💃
¡the ending made me emotional..' I feel you!!!! welcome to the club ahhhh such a beautiful song and such a moving performance 1000000000000/10
The only way to get through this chapter is to throw ourselves into the past from the beginning as we are going on their individual projects with them💜💜
Born Singer was only on Soundcloud and some live at their Japanese concerts i believe
Best Bts performances ❤️❤️❤️listened to this soo many times
Love your reaction and how you felt during the PTD concert!
Proof live its really amazing!
Ps: The proof live has cc for the lyrics :)
Looking forward to future BTS concerts wherein they do something like this, kinda chill, sitdown and jamming with a live band. They sound amazing! Really reallt impressive!
That was a wonderful reaction, Andrew! Thank you! 💜
For Youth is my favorite song out of their four new songs but this song always makes me emotional..as if they were saying goodbye to me.
감사합니다💜 감사합니다💜 Thanks for sharing your opinion.😘 Your every word is full of passion and love of BTS. I'm so happy this time to hear your story.🤗🙏🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks for another great reaction. It was hilarious when you typed "Send help".
The guys Did do some more harmonizing towards the end, the background singers contribution must be highlighted, glad you mentioned :)
This performance make me cry a lot. Is a perfect performance.
I am so glad you were not spoilt with the special guest!!! BTS live is heavenly. Also Born singer is so good! I know you haven't heard the original but just know that some of the lyrics got changed in this version (most notably RM) so that would be one thing to keep in mind when you listen to the original one Andrew! Amazing reaction as always!!! This proof live is even more emotional to watch knowing what we know now about the current break.
yes, i only watched the talking portion when it first aired, and since then only rewatched the songs, so now seeing them talk about these things again just hit me all over again
@@deliaconny It really sends us down the emo hours rabbit hole.
Bts on live performances is just truly amazing. Can't wait to go on their concert jn the future. Hoping! ❤️💜
Ps: your reaction is amazing. It's as heartwarming as the performance. ♥️
Always a pleasure, Andrew. I remember being so in the moment with this Live that the end felt incredibly abrupt. I didn't want it to end. Born Singer is an emotional piece always. I am a sucker for vocal harmonies; I wish they would do this more often. Yet to Come: soothing and quietly addicting. For Youth: the prettiest love song ever. The mutual respect between BTS and Anderson Paak was beautiful to see. I respect the later for speaking the Korean he knew with the boys--that was a class move. I am looking forward to the Proof demo comparisons. Great idea!
Andrew, you are such a lovely human being. I feel so grateful to have you sharing your experience of BTS. Thank you so much, really.
I have listened to this song so many times. Hits my heart every time. PERFECTION
This is their version of Born Sinner which (I think) Suga wrote either right before or right after their debut. It's basically about how they preserver through their hardships because they're meant to be singers. It's really beautiful and I would check out the stage mix youtube video because I think you can react to it without it being blocked. They performed it only a couple of times and they modify the lyrics depending on where they are in their journey.
I love how excited you are watching this! Samesies, without the musical notes! They are extra amazing in this, and the live band/backup was *chef's kiss*, Pak killed those drums! 😍
I am also a newer ARMY (Butter Era), and saw them D1 LA & D4 LV live (D2 LA & D3 LV LivePlay-which was awesome), and your description of the purple aura & ARMY+BTS synergy at the concerts is...something that must be experienced to fully explain! The sheer love & joy & shared tears in the stadiums, the crowd interaction with bombs & fanchants & members...I've never experienced anything like it. An almost spiritual experience, a good cult, I guess?! 💜
I know they have several performances of Yet to Come and For Youth but this is my very favorite. Do I love their dancing? Of course! But I also love hearing them just sing! I enjoy listening to their beautiful ad-libs and harmonies that are harder to hear on the track. All of these songs show their depth of talent and synergy. They truly are a unicorn. Not just in K-pop, but in the music industry as a whole.
I just found your channel. I really, really enjoyed your reactions to these songs and your comments.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Yes to doing the video on comparing the released track vs the demo/guide track. Very interested to know what you think, and hopefully you do it for each song. You'd probably be the first reactor to do that if you'd do all the songs. Please do it. :)
yes please do it!!!
Yes please Andrew , please do Jins epiphany I love both versions wold love for Jin to release his demo as full song 💜💜
Crying my eyes out ( in the end ) 😭😭😭💜
me too!! the ending always made me cry:(
Love love love Born Singer - so happy they included it in the album. There're older live performances which show the raw emotions sooo good. I don't have a link at the moment but I'm sure another ARMY will help out.
They were wonderful...it was a seriously good performance 💜
If you get emotional at how Tae sang the last line of "For Youth", you should watch the Music Bank version. His expression in that performance is just ...
i really love it coz i learn new musical stuff in your BTS reactions! you nice keep going 💜
Yes i'm really not a cryer but I teared up at the end the 1st time but after the festa dinner I couldn't even watch it without crying like I've barely cried before😂😂!
Please check out the article Duane Benjamin Collaborates With BTS for UA-cam Livestream Hit "Proof". He's the one who put together the performance (arranges the music, hires the background singers and the band, etc.)
La mejor reacción que vi. Gracias siempre por ser tan genuino. Saludos a ti y a tu esposa
I loved your reactions to this, some of them were like mine the first time I watched it. I am happy I watched it before the Fiesta because I may of cried at the end! Born Singer has always been a favorite of mine since the first time I saw it. If you find the footage of them singing it at concerts it really is an emotional song! ( I will look forward to you finding the different performances and comparing the lyrics). I am so glad they got rights to it and were able to add it to the cd's. Now I just have to find the cd's (they were out of it at the store I went to :().
For Youth I love the song, I liked everything about it! Yet to Come in this live was amazing with Anderson on the drums and the backup singers! I love when BTS performs live with bands. I agree this was a perfect stage to their last as a group for a little while. (I say little because we don't know how long, with solo's and if military duty call's but one thing I do know is Time does seem to go fast)!.
I was waiting for your reaction to this work of art! wasn't it?? tears tears and more tears!! I've gotten used to streaming For Youth so I can hear it without crying but.. seeing them again singing it live ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! hits the feels so hard, it's such a beautiful, exquisite performance, and the lyrics of that song are so heartbreaking and they emote every single word of it, it's impossible not to be moved by it!! I'm gonna be madddd if they don't perform it in October's concert.. Bangtan!!... you better do that, pls? lol does it make me an manti? jgasjdhgdh I'm just such a For Youth hard-stan, love that song with every cell in my body
Your energy, smile and all Your words make me happy and fan. Peace 💜
I loved this reaction so much Andrew! I do love it a lot when you explain things for us ignorami - about the finer points in the music - it is so fascinating to me. Really makes me want to learn more about music theory.
Okay i'm just commenting at the beginning of watching your video but you had the captions for the lyrics 🥲😊
there’s subtitles in that video
I would love the comparing videos, I want them all 😁💜
I hope you listen to the new songs again somewhen with lyrics, they are even more emotional
Just another vote for Born Singer! Definitely start at the beginning: that live version Sunshine Sam mentioned. It's impressive on many levels. My favorite part is hearing Jin sing, "I'm a born singer / Perhaps it's an early confession / But I'm so happy I'm good." 💜
Amazing reaction as usual! Loved it when you break the performances down, but also your reaction to everyone's singing and rapping - this is such a brilliant performance so I'm so glad you enjoyed it too!! 💜
I’m still playing catch up with your videos but I’m really enjoying hearing your thoughts, you’re so knowledgeable but make it very approachable too 😊
I am randomly back here again at this video. it's so good 💜 and your comments along with it make me appreciate the performance and music even more.
Now, back to patreon and rewatch the busan concert with you, again 🏃
🥺
We will see BTS OT7 toghether in a concert in Busan in October of this year 2022😍!!
Andrew please analyze for us the different versions of their songs demos. It will be sooooo interesting to me (or at least a few). The draft they submit to the production/writers/composer team and the end results are so different sometimes. I would be somewhat frustrated to witness my version modified so much there's almost no trace of my work anymore although the end result justify the process and benefits to everyone. PLEASE DO IT 🙏💜 🙂
Ok, I'll number haha:
1- There is a video in Twitter with Daechwita without his voice. I've tagged you twice and erased both times, minutes ago haha. I think that it's a great song for you to react.
2- Epiphany's demo is a completely different song. And it's beautiful too. I'd like to see you react to both together.
3- There is a word in Born Singer that Suga decided to omit in this version but that marks a note in a silence, you will notice it easily the next time when you react to it -it's in English, and it's a curse-.
4- I was really waiting for you to react to For Youth. After their concerts, after filming the Festa Dinner but before it was aired, they filmed in three different music shows live versions with ARMY of Yet to Come and For Youth. Each of them, but in special the three of For Youth, is so touching and special. You can find them in Music Bank, Inkigayo and M Countdown. But yes, in their new three songs, in Proof, I felt what you said: in each song there is a moment when each of them is shining. And I was so surprised and happy for Jin in his verse here, and his growling in Run BTS, I wish he can trust and explore to the maximum the incredible voice he has.
5- Thank you so much for your reactions, I don't mind at all when you stop to share your thoughts or your knowledge: I have already watched and heard the real material before and I wouldn't watch someone reacting to it if they would just see it making faces. I appreciate your words and points of view and feel that you are good company and an enriching experience.
Hey, sorry I couldn't watch till now, but YES! Anderson brought Yet to Come to life in a sense. And as I, as a pagan xD, would say "he was singing-drumming", like he was accentuating the vocals as opposed to just support, being underneath, the drums was the 8th voice in the song if that makes sense? ^^UUUU again, non musician here, but usually the instrumental melody doesn't have to coincide with the vocal melody mmm... Whatever. I loved it as much as you, so no worries, you were not over the top there hahaha
And For Youth is... that song. Mnet: ua-cam.com/video/zrjqB0Bpf1E/v-deo.html :_) (they built a stage to attend a show from an arena with 4k army... to say "see you later" and later being October... they are crazy)
PS. I'm not writing anything emotional bc I become a mess everytime
Yes, please, Andrew, please review the demos and compare with the released versions. Some true gems that would never have seen the light of day… My favourite is RM’s demo for Young Forever! It contains gold nuggets of genius… but I’ll let you judge for yourself!
I freakin' knew it. When I voted last time, was so sure it was gonna be More, but suspected it's this one instead because it's always like this. Always your quizes end up the same way for me, I vote for what seems the most obvious but it's the least obvious choice imo :))))))))))) Next time I'll vote for the least obvious one :D
JK whispering thank you at the end gets me every time 🤣
loved seeing your awe while watching this video! i still hope you do a video on born singer too xD CFA
as soon as I heard RM's part in Born Singer, I felt it was different than the original one they did in 2013(?). getting emotional right there with you. can't wait to see your comparison's of the demo versions VS the final versions of the songs.
You are so soft..🥺💜
Awesome video! Love hearing your thoughts and seeing your passion expressed through excitement 😁 Keep on keeping on!
Would love to see you compare demo & released versions 💜
I would love for you to make videos comparing the demos on the third CD of Proof to the final versions. I know nothing of music and always learn a lot watching you explain BTS songs.
OMG I KNEW IT LOL
I was in LA at PTD 32:58 too as a new fan. Day 3!
Yo, editor.. i love you☺️
You should react to for youth's lyrics as well! I cried so much by just looking at the lyrics. ...
💜
Born Singer. It is their version of Born Sinner by J Cole, they sample the beat. Despite the title, it is like 80% rapping. No music vid, so do a color-coded lyric video, and then follow it up with this iconic live performance of it, since there is no music video:

Their past selves singing it to each other. Their present selves singing it to us.
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. They updated this song for the Proof album. It was written after their 100 days as BTS. I cried on 1st listen. Just stunning and so much feels. Wow. I am glad u felt them. =0] Their past selves singing it to each other. Their present selves singing it to us. For the past live's i think they sang it only twice before 2015 and 2017 live stages. Hugs. Love u. -NY USA 2019 Army💟
