I am 73 and grow up listening to Bing Crosby all the time. White Christmas is my favorite christmas song. This song with V is wonderful and is now my favorite version of White Christmas!!
I'm 65. Bing Crosby was labeled a 'crooner'. At one time he was bigger than Frank Sinatra , or any of the 'rat pack '. It's HUGE for V to be chosen to sing WHITE CHRISTMAS...probably the biggest Christmas song EVER (other then actual Hymns) with Bing Crosby. Bing Crosby had a Christmas Special every year, and White Christmas would be the finale. It is from a movie he made. This is a BIG Honor for the Crosby family to approach him to do this. It's HUGE. V is a one of a kind artist, truly.
Taehyung was the first one singing when the song started. There were several instances where he sang alone. You obviously don't know Tae's voice very well if you didn't recognize it. Also, Bing Crosby's family are the ones who reached out to Taehyung in 2021 about being part of this collab because they love Tae's voice and knew how much he admires Bing Crosby.
Bing Crosby family and state are the ones that approached TAE on 2022 because they said “there wasn’t the right one until V came” they didn’t let any other artist have a duet with Bing but TAE can’t you imagine how big it is as an artist being recognized by family legends as TAE is being recognized, Bing Crosby interview at billboard is amazing, I recommend o you read it ❤
I’m an older Army (early 50’s) and remember Bing Crosby was my grandfather’s favourite singer, and he used to sing ‘White Christmas’ to us every year! I loved it then, and to hear our wonderful ‘Taehyung’ singing it along with Bing melts my heart. Knowing Primary Wave (Crosby’s agent) reached out to Tae makes me feel so proud of, and for him, and I’m sure if he was still with us, my grandfather would love it too 💜 I also read that they were halfway through making this video when they heard of Tannie’s passing, so added him in the stars as a tribute 💜 Thank you for reacting to this beautiful version of an absolute classic!
According to the company that manages Bing Crosby's works, they were the ones who approached V's company because they admired the talent and love he has for Bing Crosby's work, and Tae's respect is so much that he didn't want to stand out, others would do vocal improvisations that we know he knows how to do, after all he does it very well in the group, but he wanted to maintain the legitimacy of the song and harmonize with Bing Crosby's deep voice. I cried again!!!
Верно заметили, что Тэхен не стал выделяться, а наоборот, слился с голосом Кросби, но мы, фанаты Тэхена, сразу определили его голос, его ни с кем не спутаешь
Come on now, guys.... V starts the song off. You can hear his voice clearly. And the harmonies. It's amazing , and also Bing Crosby's family reached out to V because they knew how V admired Bing Crosby. 💜💜
53 year old Army here and I grew up listening to Bing Crsoby, Andy Williams etc. It was actually easy for me to distinguish them only because I know both voices. This was absolutely stunning the perfect blend of voices and Bing would be so proud and honored!!!❤❤❤
63 year old Silver ARMY. As some members know, I've been blessed with a variety of musical experience from Classical organ music from my grandfather who played in some big venues in the Chicago area, big band jazz from my long passed stepfather who was a drummer in several jazz bands, to be-bop 50's from my parents and early 60's pop from my aunt. I grew up listening to crooners like Crosby, Sinatra, Andy Williams, etc. I knew immediately which voice was Tae and which was Bing. When I was first introduced to BTS, it was Tae's voice that I could tell was from a different era. He's a uniquely talented man and this newer generation is fortunate to have someone like him to introduce them to a style of music that is sadly overlooked by many. Special thanks to the Crosby family for seeing Tae for the talent that he is and their willingness to allow him to do this take on a classic. *** Love & hugs to Tae, his family, the BTS members and ARMY for the loss of Yeontan. He was the world's doggie and will be missed dearly.***
Yes, we're so proud that the family, having heard Taehyung sing, asked the production company to approach and ask him to sing on the first duet of White Christmas, because, they said, 'there wasn't the right one until V came along'. It makes our Christmas, and Taehyung's birthday, so much easier, when he's so far from us.💜
Тэхён это тепло, тихая и уютная радость. Его голос обволакивает и дарит самое нежное и надежное чувство защищенности. А Кросби -- легенда. И я счастлива увидеть и услышать такой прекрасный дуэт , понять как прекрасно чувство белого и снежного рождества.
A thousand thanks to the Crosby family for choosing Taehyung to do this collaboration! Bing Crosby's “White Christmas” is yet another proof to us that Taehyung doesn't just make music, he celebrates music with his voice! He puts so much soul and passion into each song that it touches our hearts. Bravo, beautiful soul! Bravo, Taehyung!!! 💜
The first singer was not Der Bingle; it was Taehyung. Which illustrates exactly why Primary Wave and the Crosby family chose him and got in touch with HYBE to ask if Taehyung would do it: his singing voice sounds like Crosby's own when he was young.
59 Army here. I loved the Sunday movies in my teens. Watching Bing, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin. Loved the era, probably why Tae is my bias. 💜
do y’all understand how big it is to do a duet with bing crosby on his timeless hit christmas song that too first one in decades?? so many big artists covered the song but they CHOOSE taehyung specifically to do a duet IM SO PRPUD OF YOU TAEHYUNG 😭😭
@@robynmillard6054 ~ Bowie sang Little Drummer Boy and peace on earth. The Crosby family said Taehyung's was the first voice they'd found who deserved to duet with their father. We're so incredibly proud of Taehyung for this gift, and for his amazing baritone voice. 💜
@ I totally realise it was a different song, I was just meaning it was the first collaboration since Bowie. I agree, we are incredibly lucky to have Taehyung 💜
Thank you for reacting to this. I have a few collections of Bing Crosby’s vinyls in my library. I love this version. Tae is a gentleman when he does duets with people. He was blending so well with Bing. Bing has more vibrato in his vocals whilst Tae kept his more simple and that made this a more updated version. Making this mv a Yeontan tribute was very thoughtful. These r nice people Tae is working with. I’m thankful.
Bing Crosby’s family specifically chose V to do this duet. They approached him, not the other way around. They recognized V’s talent and his admiration for Bing. The last time a duet with Bing was in 1977, with David Bowie, 47 yrs ago. 47 yrs! That’s effin crazy. Who would have ever thought that a Kpop star and the most prolific crooner of all time would sing together? If Bing were alive, I’m certain he would choose V himself. ❤
I’m 55 and grew up with a mother who loved Crosby, Sinatra, Astaire and others of that era - the musical movie, I was raised on them. I’m so amazed by V and his ability to bring old back in a new way while remaining true to the genre!
This is an iconic collab and as V's fan, I'll be forever grateful to the family of Sir Bing Crosby for giving V the privilege to do this dream collab with their Dad. This White Christmas collab really transports us back in time... WOW! V is an old soul and has been greatly influenced by the greats of the past, like Bing, and it is truly an opportunity of a lifetime that he gets to do a "duet" with one of his inspirations. Honestly, I cried so hard when I watched the video the moment it dropped last night because this is a dream come true and I couldn't help but think of V and Yeontan. V really devoted his solo era honoring our dear and precious Yeontan and with the recent heart-breaking news we heard this week, this collab and MV hit sooooo hard. There's not even an image of V in the 2 MVs (official vid and lyric vid) that were released... he gave all the spotlight to the two most important icons in his life - Sir Bing Crosby and Yeontan. V chose a path less traveled but I'm so proud of him for pursuing what he truly loves and equally grateful to Sir Crosby's family for trusting V so much. Hope more and more people all around the world will get to hear of this timeless masterpiece that truly deserves worldwide recognition and appreciation. Let's join hands in streaming and promoting this very precious Christmas gift from Bing and V... and Yeontan! Thank you for showing love to V. Borahae!
The old and young make a perfect masterpiece blend. Good grief, it took a KIM TAEHYUNG to pull this sophisticated high level production into fruition.😊❤😊
I love all the comments I've read, the ones from the 40's, 60's, 70's. Taehyung, the incredible, charismatic and talented velvet-voiced Kim Tae Hyung continues to follow his own compass and bring music from the past to our era, he is achieving the impossible. to those of this genre and recognize the great voices and talents of the past. TAEHYUNG always said that Crisby was his favorite singer, that he grew up listening to that music. I'm very proud of Tae. And the Crosby family, thank you for immortalizing Yeontan, that was touching and moving and now that we know that an ARMY bought a star the day Taehyung told us the news and the title "Yeontan" is more beautiful and seems like a thing of fate, because It is almost impossible for the Crosby's family to know, that was a touching detail. Thanks to all those who love and appreciate good music.
It was Crosby foundation that reached out to V for a collab. They had seen his Vlog where he sang "It's been a long long time" and told all viewers how much he loved Crosbys singing.
I just celebrated my 48th b'day 2 wks ago and I remember my grandmother & mother playing this song during the holidays...God blessed their souls. It was a staple bcuz it reminds you of an old-fashion Christmas and how it used to be. Nowadays, Christmas has changed and it not how it was, especially when family members are scattered in other states not having that family bonding time like back in the day. My mom used to play this song right along with watching the movie "White Christmas" that also starred Bing Crosby and I was right there with her feeling joy, happy and warm with the spirit of the Christmas holiday drinking hot cholcolate. It's been yrs since they both passed away and I still keep up with the tradition of listening & watching White Christmas along with my other favorite holiday songs. So for V, to collab with Bing Crosby and sing this song...I'm not surprise! V is an old soul who can sing anything. but when he taps into that soulful jazz baritone voice of his, he's on another level. He blows me away with goosebumps evertime and Winter Ahead is no different.
BILLBOARD article - Here's How V of BTS's 'White Christmas' Collaboration With Late 'Idol' Bing Crosby Came Together "It was just too perfect," Nekich remembers of seeing V's video. "He just had a beautiful jazz-like voice that sounds very similar to a young Bing Crosby. It was a no-brainer: These two are meant to be on a song together." "The fact that V was such a huge fan was so heartening to us," recalls Mary Crosby. "Until he came along, there wasn't the right person. Because of V, Dad is going to be reaching an entirely different audience." The last piece of the puzzle was V's contribution, which he recorded remotely just before shipping off in December 2023 for 18 months to complete his mandatory service. His raw talent blew Field away. Says the producer, "The musical decisions [V] made - he understood who he was singing with." As for whether her father, who died in 1977, would've chosen to do the duet with V if he were alive today, Mary says, "Dad would've jumped at the chance." Also the editor of the MV said that they found out about Tannie’s passing mid way through the production and they added the final Tannie in the stars scene as a tribute for Tannie.
He did achieved the impossible, they sing so great together at first I didn’t know who was who that’s how great they are together I’m I. My 80’s and I grew up listening to Bing Crosby to hear V singing with Bing Crosby was a treat the blending of thru voices was fantastic it’s a classic and will be heard throughout the years V belongs in the era of the great singers like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin I wish the younger generation an enjoy V’s voice he’s truly an Icon that’s the highest praise I can give him.
V begins the song, then Bing comes in. V does the harmonizing parts as well as sing low with Bing at times. He does sing solo several times, the “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas” verse is Tae each time. It is so well balanced. The producers used a little known radio recording from the 50s for this collaboration. From what I’ve read, Crosby’s family had been wanting to do something with the recording but couldn’t come up with the right voice until one of the their team heard V’s vlog post of him singing “It’s Been a Long Long Time” & that’s when they knew they’d found the voice they needed 😁💜 The news of military enlistment is what lit the fire to get it done and V recorded is part just last year before he went in the army. The song “White Christmas” has actually been around since 1942 when it was first sung by Bing Crosby in the movie “Holiday Inn” then they made a movie called “White Christmas” where Bing sang it again but with Danny Kaye, Vera-Ellen, & Rosemary Clooney (George Clooney’s aunt). I’m an old classic movie nerd and love Bing Crosby in general so this collab is just a perfect dream for me. I read this morning on twitter the animator said they learned of Yeontan’s passing while they were working on this video so putting Tannie in the stars was very intentional as a way to honor him even more😭💜 This is the only MV I have ever purchased from iTunes. It is such a special tribute and song, how could I not? 🥹🥰💜
Igual yo y aunque soy hispana siempre me ha encantado el jazz y cantantes como Bing Crosby y Frank Sinatra, y sus películas llenas de música y romance , efectivamente la voz de nuestro principe Kim taehyung encuadra perfectamente en la canción haciendo un duo maravilloso . Estoy muy feliz de esta colaboración y q hayan permitido homenajear a nuestro querido yeontan tan amado por Tae .
Thank you very much for all the explanation you have given us... I love knowing all that information. I grew up with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley thanks to my father... this song “White Christmas” was my father’s favorite Christmas song and listening to it sing to Bing Crosby and Taehyung, whom I love with all my heart... it has made me excited!! I’m sure that both Bing and my father have smiled from heaven when they heard it!! Thank you very much to both of you.. V and Bing Crosby, for this beautiful Christmas gift!!!
Спасибо,за такое великолепие,если песни Френка Синатры я знала и любила,но вот КРОСБИ не слышала как и многие,теперь благодаря Тэшечке я узнала об этом великолепном артисте ,как же это сочитание голосов красиво,спасибо всем создателям этого шедевра Тэхену и семье Кросби❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌻🌻🌻🌼🌷🌷🌵🌾🥀🥀🪴☘️🌿⚘️🪻🌼🌼🌼🌷🪻🌻🌼🌷🏵
АРМИ!Я ДУМАЮ ТЕПЕРЬ МЫ БУДЕМ ПЛАКАТЬ ВСЕГДА КОГДА БУДЕМ СЛУШАТЬ ЭТУ ПЕСНЮ ВСПОМИНАЯ СОБАЧКУ ЕНТАНА.КОТОРАЯ УЛЕТЕЛА НА НЕБЕСА К ЗВЕЗДАМ И ПОКОЙНОГО БИНГА КРОСБИ!БЛАГОДАРЯ KIM TAEHYUNG Я УЗНАЛА О Б.КРОСБИ!😭😭😭
Bing Crosby lived and went to Gonzaga University in my hometown of Spokane Washington. We even have the Bing Crosby theater here in Spokane. We are pretty proud of him. I'm so happy about this rendition of a beautiful song with two amazing vocalists. I can't wait until I get my copy of this single.💜💜💜💜
Bing Crosby was the Drake of my time! On the weekends there was Arm Chair Theatre and there I watched all the Bing Crosby movies in black & white! His childhood home is 20 min.from my house! You have no idea how big he was! For Tae to choose him as his idol is no surprise! And Tae also gives a great tribute to his pup Yeontan who has gone to doggie Heaven. Besides Jaeger and Buble', Tae was honored by the Crosby family to sing with Bing. Tae recorded this right before enlisting but it has been in the works since 2022. This classic has always been on the top of Christmas music, but this collab will definitely take the cake!!!! Yes....Im silver ARMY at 73!!!!
J&J, I am a 60-year-old ARMY, and Bing Crosbys' White Christmas was a staple Christmas song played in my household growing up, along with Bing's Christmas movie White Christmas with Danny Kaye. Guys, we know how much of an old soul V is, that Bing Crosby's company REACHED OUT to V, just shows how BTS crosses ALL boundaries and a testament of the influence that BTS has become. NOTHING, NO ONE can touch them. 'Nugh Said...Mic Drop.💜
Es la orimera vez q la familia de bing Crosby hace este tipo de colaboracion y escogio precisamente al fan numeto 1 de esta época kim taehyung para cantar con su padre.
Older Army here and I remember that this song was one of the Christmas-Songs we heard every year at Christmas, specially here in the evening of the 24th, its called Heiligabend here in Germany (Holy Evening). I loved that song because of Bing's deep voice. I played the organ as a kid (a bit) and I played it too. But honestly I loved to play Jingle Bells more *gg*. Still. V did Justice to this song in my opinion and the addition of Yeontan in the video makes it even more precious. I hope V still will have a lovely Christmas, even without Yeontan and in the military. Borahae 🫶
the way taehyung sings that before harmonizing with bing crosby… i’m literally so obsessed with his voice 😭the way taehyung decided to make this song as a tribute to yeontan after he passed, this is the goodbye he couldn’t say with words❤️🩹❤
Taehyung didn't sing it as a tribute to Yeontan. He was approached by the Crosby family to sing the duet with their father, as they said 'there wasn't the right one until V came along'. It's a huge compliment and honour for Taehyung as he's the first to ever sing it with the legendary Bing Crosby. The production company were already creating the film for the release of the song when they heard from Taehyung that Yeontan had passed, so they added Yeontan in the stars as a tribute. The duet had been in planning for over a year at that time. Taehyung recorded his part of the duet just before he enlisted, almost a year ago. Yeontan passed in the last few weeks, and perhaps at the time, some weeks ago, when Taehyung posted a comment that he missed Tan.
Nie tylko starsi fani lubia tę piosenkę.Caly czas jest na czolowymmiejscu list przebojow.Zaproszenie V do współpracy,to największe wyróżnienie jakie może uzyskać młody piosenkarz ! Moim zdaniem jest to epokowe wydarzenie i na pewno przejdzie do historii.!
I literally grew up watching Bing Cristy’s annual Christmas TV specials. Each one was a treat, and we all got to see his children growing up right along with us. Bing was the first superstar across recordings, radio, movies, tv, and traveling to entertain US troops across the globe. He was also an avid golfer and owner of race horses. White Christmas debuted in the movie Holiday Inn, 1942 in the midst of WWII. Later it was repeated, this time in color in the movie White Christmas.Bing also stared in movies with Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra. Truly an A list star for most of his life. He filmed his last TV Christmas special a few months before his death and if featured a duet with David Bowie. Bing died on a golf course in Spain doing what he enjoyed, playing golf. He helped pioneer audio tape so that he could record his radio program and be able to spend more time golfing. He wisely invested in Ampex which also led to videotape. His was the production company behind Hogan’s Heroes. Quite a fellow.
For each stanza, V starts it, and Bing finishes it, and then they come together in places. I grew up with Bing as my favorite. Also. Bing's estate reached out to V, wanting to do this collaboration with them. This is the BEST collaboration I have ever heard. Go back and really listen to the stanzas again. You'll be able tell the difference. Pay attention to the word dreaming...you can hear Vs accent in it. Maybe you need to hear the original, then you'll definitely know where V sings and Bing sings. Great review. Thanks.
I love the collab...Bing being one of V's faves from back in the day as well as Sinatra etc I am proud of the way he honored Bing, doing a very subtle collab...allowing Bings original to shine. And then....there's Yeontan his beloved baby, featured here as well. It is so heartwarming and beautiful ❤I cried all day. There are some people out there not liking this but they need to understand that this is a rendition...this is not intended to steal away from the original... it's V's desire to accompany one of his faves... and add small sprinkles of himself into it. I absolutely love it. V also did not completely cover the entire song, like some people have in the past... so the 'negative' people just need to hush up about it. Thanks very much guys, it always appreciated ❤ Theres also a darling lyric video that is adorable with scenes of Bing and Yeontan ❤
🫶🏽I am 62 year My mother admired Mr. Crosby and I am an army, I admire V, for his baritone voice, which is my weakness.This is special to me, The song is beautiful, and together the two take it to another level, two voices that came together masterfully!Maybe I could have given it a little bit of rhythm, but it's the same because it sounds amazing. The MV is a beautiful tribute to the stars that shine for all of us in particular, that's how I felt, the family CROSBY said that when they were preparing the MV they received the news of Yeontan's passing, and they decided to add the last scene in which he becomes a star, a lovely detail for V. It's very nice, Bing stops seeing him in the ball and welcomes him in the sleigh, did you see that there are 7 little trees, coincidence? They have united two generations, the Crosby family was the one who contacted V, they knew that he is a big fan of Bing and that he had sung some of his pieces, They said V's voice would blend naturally with Crosby's, It is a collaboration that goes down in music history, It's been almost 30 years since they did one with David Bowye with this same song. I love it, for all the meaning it has and because it is truly magical and a luxury to listen to two great artists with such incredible voices!! Thanks to the Crosby family and V for this beautiful song.🎶🎁🫶🏽
Hey J&J, 65 yr old ARMY here. I grew up watching the movie White Christmas and listening to Bing Crosby's version of "White Christmas". I loved them both. V is a wonderful partner for this song. It is his voice that starts the song off and of course blends so beautifully with Bing's throughout. Wonderful version of the song and a sweet tender tribute to Yeontan. RIP to Bing and Yeontan.💜💜
Merry Christmas Jared and Jordan..I am a 77 year old Army and enjoy all of your UTube posts. I was six years old when Bing Crosby released White Christmas..it has been a Holiday Classic ever since. V is my bias so I thoroughly enjoyed their collaboration on White Christmas!! BTS literally got me through the panic. I live alone, so UTube was my savior. My daughter and granddaughter are also Army. We attended the concerts at Sofi and Las Vegas together. BTS has changed our lives for the better. Their positive attitude and kindness are amazing.. Keep up the good work guys!! I look forward to your posts..
FUN FACT BING is from my town Spokane. We even have a downtown theater called the Bing Crosby theater that is still active 🫰🏻💜 Bing died when I was 7 but his music was played by my aunt & my grandma. To say he is a timeless icon is an understatement. Bing’s estate has posted about Tae on their social media a few times🫠
Tae actually opened the you said- this is Bing? It was Tae 😊.. seen the stanky face there, Jared 😂 This is such a great song, a classic, and with V became even more so. Their deep deep voices?? Also, the Bing Crosby Estate contacted Tae to make this duet around 2 yrs ago. Mr. Bing's daughter said so in an interview as well as the lady who liaised (edited to add: they were the producer, sorry again) between the two parties (forgot the name Sarah something sorry). Imagine they chose Tae, who's very well known for loving Mr. Bing. What an honor! 💜 Ps. Yeonstallation is a good one btw! 👍
45yo army here and we grew up watching Bing's movies and hearing these songs, so this is a great crossover for us silver armys. Apparently the animators were working on a animated MV when they hward Yeontan had passed and rushed to get some parts updated to add him in the MV as a tribute, which of course made me bawl, then I read on X that an ARMY adopted a star and named it Yeontan so there really is a star named after him now. Super sweet. Loved this collab and loved your reaction. It was V singing first 😂❤💜
The Crosby's reached out to Tae for this duet. Vocalists like Bublé,Carey and Boccelli have also covered this but Tae was asked and the Crosby family have called him an icon of the 21st century. I'm 56 and this version, especially with the MV, takes me back to being a kid when Christmas was magical and not commercialised as it is now.
I am 57 and my childhood was filled with Bing Crosby's music at Christmas. "White Christmas", "Winter Wonderland", "I'll be Home for Christmas", "Do You Hear What I Hear?" are some my favorite Christmas songs. I also loved his other music ("Swinging on a Star", Dream a Little Dream of Me", "My Funny Valentine") and enjoyed watching his movies as well. I think Taehyung 's voice blended beautifully with Mr. Crosby's and seeing Yeontan in the video touched my heart and made me cry.
7 Christmas trees, Yeontan, 7 years of Yeontan's life, yes it's always 7, Tae's Voice, Legend Bing Crosby... all are perfect. By the way, there's a real YEONTAN STAR now... because a rich ARMY had bought and registered a star and named it "Yeontan" ... I know he is really running and no pain in fur heaven now. He can run free now without having a hard time.
This song is so beautiful and V really respected Bing Crosby in this version. I am 70 and grew up with Bing and have loved Kim Taehyung for 4 years when I discovered BTS. It has always been a thrill for me when Tae sings or hums all of the oldies from Bing to Ella in his Lives- go back and check them out. Kiss me once and kiss me twice and kiss me once again....
'White Christmas' is the undisputed Christmas hit. The single was originally released in 1942 and to this day, it is the best-selling single of all time. Keep in mind, there were no pop charts or singles charts at that time period. Crosby's estate has said, that until V came along, there wasn't a right person to work on a collaboration such as this. So they reached out to V and the company and brought up the idea. Bing Crosby's last collaboration was with David Bowie in 1977. Other artists he's worked with are The Andrew Sisters, Judy Garland, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra, just to name a few. So the fact that V is now added to the list of literal legends is absolutely insane. The illustrator for the music video commented that they heard of Yeontan's passing while working on the MV, and they wanted to add the last scene with Tannie in the stars to celebrate Tannie's memory. Also, recently an army bought a star in the constellation of Capricorn (Tae's zodiac) and named it Yeontan. So in multiple different ways, Tannie really is a star in the sky now, just like Tae said ❤️🩹
Hello guys! 60 year old ARMY here since 2021. I have loved Bing my whole life thanks to my parents playing his records and movies as I was growing up. I think this duet is a beautiful tribute to both Bing and Tae’s beloved Yeontan.
60 yo Army here! I loved this version of the song! I grew up listening to this song during the Christmas season… so beautiful! I have been a Bing Crosby fan for decades… hard not to enjoy his magnificent vocals! This duet could not have been more poignant 💜 V matched Bing’s harmonies so smoothly! Totally heartwarming 💜💜💜☮️. The animated video paying tribute to Bing and Yeontan was equally amazing and nostalgic 😍😍😍
Army bought a star and named Yeontan just recently , and today another Army just bought a star for Gureum. Both are inside Capricorn constellation. The amount of love the fans have for Taehyung and Jungkook is amazing. Rest in peace beautiful babies. You will be very missed.💜
Gureum was JK's family dog, and died in '21. This is about Taehyung's huge success being chosen by the family to sing the first duet for White Christmas, ever, with Bing Crosby, and why the production company included Yeontan in the stars to pay tribute as Taehyung told them his baby had passed while the film was being made. Don't use Taehyung to bring your fave into this. Ships don't exist, but Kim Taehyung's legendary baritone voice does, so please show respect.
@@OoIoVoIoO I was just sharing information about what ARMYs have done to honor Yeontan and Gureum. How is mentioning both pets and their love from fans considered shipping? I love and support all the members equally. Gureum’s passing is part of Jungkook’s story, and I mentioned it out of respect, just like Taehyung’s achievements and the tribute to Yeontan. Both pets were loved, and both deserve to be remembered with kindness. 💜
I’m 55 and this song has been Christmas to me forever, even though I was young when he passed. It’s from the movie Holiday Inn, made in 1942. It’s a fun film, for sure. I recommend it! 💜🎄💜
V sang the first line of the song, and he had a few other solo bits. Also, everytime there was a harmony, it was V. I am a proud ARMY Auntie, and it was very easy to tell who was who because Bing Crosby's version was part of our lives growing up. It was lovely to learn that V was invited by the family. If you are interested in another beautiful Bing Crosby duet, look up Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth with David Bowie.
I grew up with Bing Crosby's Christmas album being played in my house each year, in addition to all of his other works. He was part of my childhood and life. V has done a beautiful job with this version of White Christmas. I recommend you watch the movie.
Actually it was the state that contact V for this collab, and the animators had tannie in the clip but when they heard the news the made it as a tribute for him
The Crosby Estate approached V not the other way around. The song featured in Holiday Inn and also White Christmas, probably the most famous Christmas movie! The collaboration is huge and they chose him!
V sang the lines "I'm dreaming of a White Chrisymas..." Bing Crosby hasn’t had a Christmas duet this iconic since his 1977 collaboration with David Bowie on Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy. Taehyung being approached first for a White Christmas duet is a huge testament to his artistry and global recognition! Yes, it was the estate who pitched the idea of a collab to V. They knew of V's sincere admiration of Bing. 💜
The Estate chose V and approached V and V started the song it was v singing and then throughout the song along with Bing if you listen really close you can hear the differance what an honor
45 here born in 79 and I grew up as what they call an Old Soul !! I love Christmas Music in General Not Just Bing Crosby and V is My Bias out the Vocal line , I have been Army since 2017 and all I can say is this Brings Me Back to My childhood Days!! Love V’s Voice as well as Bing Crosby!! Their Voices Blend So Well 💜
I’m 62. Big fan of White Christmas. The movie is my favorite and the song reminds me of my childhood. Bing is legendary crooner and it’s so cool they reached out to V to do this remake. I can tell the difference on there voices. V is starting the song. Then Bing comes in.
I’m 74 years V was first to sing ! I can distinguish the difference I read somewhere that when Tannie passed they changed the movie to memorialize Tannie. My parents had Bing’s albums - they called him a “Crooner”
At the beginning, V starts singing and not Bing, he has a few verses alone during the song, but they actually have a voice with a very similar tone, although V's is a little more velvety and Bing's is slightly fuller-bodied, with very 70s characteristics
You don’t know V’s voice? He was the first one singing, followed by Bing Crosby. Amazing voices they both have, thank you Bing Crosby estate, the collab with V was the right choice.
This is one of my most favorite Christmas songs. He died the year I graduated from high school. V did a phenomenal job in this duet. I hope they do more Christmas music.
I am 73 and grow up listening to Bing Crosby all the time. White Christmas is my favorite christmas song. This song with V is wonderful and is now my favorite version of White Christmas!!
I'm 65. Bing Crosby was labeled a 'crooner'. At one time he was bigger than Frank Sinatra , or any of the 'rat pack '. It's HUGE for V to be chosen to sing WHITE CHRISTMAS...probably the biggest Christmas song EVER (other then actual Hymns) with Bing Crosby. Bing Crosby had a Christmas Special every year, and White Christmas would be the finale. It is from a movie he made. This is a BIG Honor for the Crosby family to approach him to do this. It's HUGE. V is a one of a kind artist, truly.
❤️🍀
Interesting to know & it is an honor that V was chosen by the Bing C family's- Thanks, I just know it now😇💜🙏💜🙏💗💜🥰
What a warm comforting gift to us all - 🙏🏻💜💜Tannie you are so loved.
V He was chosen by the Crosby family for this partnership. Billboard has a beautiful interview telling the details of the production.❤
Yes, I read that they ask him since 2021 and also this is the first duet with their dad and the song, proud of V🥰
Taehyung was the first one singing when the song started. There were several instances where he sang alone. You obviously don't know Tae's voice very well if you didn't recognize it. Also, Bing Crosby's family are the ones who reached out to Taehyung in 2021 about being part of this collab because they love Tae's voice and knew how much he admires Bing Crosby.
Bing Crosby family and state are the ones that approached TAE on 2022 because they said “there wasn’t the right one until V came” they didn’t let any other artist have a duet with Bing but TAE can’t you imagine how big it is as an artist being recognized by family legends as TAE is being recognized, Bing Crosby interview at billboard is amazing, I recommend o you read it ❤
@@ShelKim1991 И как я поняла, БШХ не разрешал, как всегда.
А его разве спрашивали? Тэхен уже и не нуждается в помощи.
I’m an older Army (early 50’s) and remember Bing Crosby was my grandfather’s favourite singer, and he used to sing ‘White Christmas’ to us every year! I loved it then, and to hear our wonderful ‘Taehyung’ singing it along with Bing melts my heart. Knowing Primary Wave (Crosby’s agent) reached out to Tae makes me feel so proud of, and for him, and I’m sure if he was still with us, my grandfather would love it too 💜
I also read that they were halfway through making this video when they heard of Tannie’s passing, so added him in the stars as a tribute 💜 Thank you for reacting to this beautiful version of an absolute classic!
According to the company that manages Bing Crosby's works, they were the ones who approached V's company because they admired the talent and love he has for Bing Crosby's work, and Tae's respect is so much that he didn't want to stand out, others would do vocal improvisations that we know he knows how to do, after all he does it very well in the group, but he wanted to maintain the legitimacy of the song and harmonize with Bing Crosby's deep voice. I cried again!!!
Прекрасный комментарий. Большое спасибо!
Верно заметили, что Тэхен не стал выделяться, а наоборот, слился с голосом Кросби, но мы, фанаты Тэхена, сразу определили его голос, его ни с кем не спутаешь
Come on now, guys.... V starts the song off. You can hear his voice clearly. And the harmonies. It's amazing , and also Bing Crosby's family reached out to V because they knew how V admired Bing Crosby. 💜💜
53 year old Army here and I grew up listening to Bing Crsoby, Andy Williams etc. It was actually easy for me to distinguish them only because I know both voices. This was absolutely stunning the perfect blend of voices and Bing would be so proud and honored!!!❤❤❤
An Army did a star registration in the name of YEONTAN 🥲😔💜
63 year old Silver ARMY. As some members know, I've been blessed with a variety of musical experience from Classical organ music from my grandfather who played in some big venues in the Chicago area, big band jazz from my long passed stepfather who was a drummer in several jazz bands, to be-bop 50's from my parents and early 60's pop from my aunt. I grew up listening to crooners like Crosby, Sinatra, Andy Williams, etc. I knew immediately which voice was Tae and which was Bing. When I was first introduced to BTS, it was Tae's voice that I could tell was from a different era. He's a uniquely talented man and this newer generation is fortunate to have someone like him to introduce them to a style of music that is sadly overlooked by many. Special thanks to the Crosby family for seeing Tae for the talent that he is and their willingness to allow him to do this take on a classic. *** Love & hugs to Tae, his family, the BTS members and ARMY for the loss of Yeontan. He was the world's doggie and will be missed dearly.***
Yes, we're so proud that the family, having heard Taehyung sing, asked the production company to approach and ask him to sing on the first duet of White Christmas, because, they said, 'there wasn't the right one until V came along'. It makes our Christmas, and Taehyung's birthday, so much easier, when he's so far from us.💜
Прекрасно сказано. Спасибо Вам за такие тёплые слова о Ким ТэХене. Спасибо.
The first person sing was V .love it❤
The first person singing is V followed by Bing!
Тэхён это тепло, тихая и уютная радость. Его голос обволакивает и дарит самое нежное и надежное чувство защищенности.
А Кросби -- легенда.
И я счастлива увидеть и услышать такой прекрасный дуэт , понять как прекрасно чувство белого и снежного рождества.
Taehyung earned biggest debut for a Jazz song and chiristmas song in less than 10 days , so proud of him 💜
Always breaking records. Always the first. Our Idol of Idols, and 🐯 king, Kim Taehyung. There is no-one to match him.💜
A thousand thanks to the Crosby family for choosing Taehyung to do this collaboration!
Bing Crosby's “White Christmas” is yet another proof to us that Taehyung doesn't just make music, he celebrates music with his voice! He puts so much soul and passion into each song that it touches our hearts.
Bravo, beautiful soul!
Bravo, Taehyung!!! 💜
@@florimunteanu ❤️🍀
Merry Christmas. V really helped people to understand that we must never forget legendary artists like BC. Thank u Crosby family for chosing V .
Tae does "I 'm dreaming of a White Christmas' parts and harmonizes with Bing on the other parts.
The first singer was not Der Bingle; it was Taehyung. Which illustrates exactly why Primary Wave and the Crosby family chose him and got in touch with HYBE to ask if Taehyung would do it: his singing voice sounds like Crosby's own when he was young.
59 Army here. I loved the Sunday movies in my teens. Watching Bing, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin. Loved the era, probably why Tae is my bias. 💜
do y’all understand how big it is to do a duet with bing crosby on his timeless hit christmas song that too first one in decades?? so many big artists covered the song but they CHOOSE taehyung specifically to do a duet IM SO PRPUD OF YOU TAEHYUNG 😭😭
Amazing isn’t it 💜 The first since Bowie… Was it 47 years…
@@robynmillard6054❤️🍀
The Crosby estate said they waited for the right artist to do justice to a Bing Crosby song and Tae was the one they were waiting for.
@@robynmillard6054 ~ Bowie sang Little Drummer Boy and peace on earth. The Crosby family said Taehyung's was the first voice they'd found who deserved to duet with their father. We're so incredibly proud of Taehyung for this gift, and for his amazing baritone voice. 💜
@ I totally realise it was a different song, I was just meaning it was the first collaboration since Bowie. I agree, we are incredibly lucky to have Taehyung 💜
47 years old and can't imagine how this could have been better 🎄 what a beautiful blending of their voices 😊 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for reacting to this. I have a few collections of Bing Crosby’s vinyls in my library. I love this version. Tae is a gentleman when he does duets with people. He was blending so well with Bing. Bing has more vibrato in his vocals whilst Tae kept his more simple and that made this a more updated version. Making this mv a Yeontan tribute was very thoughtful. These r nice people Tae is working with. I’m thankful.
Bing Crosby’s family specifically chose V to do this duet. They approached him, not the other way around. They recognized V’s talent and his admiration for Bing. The last time a duet with Bing was in 1977, with David Bowie, 47 yrs ago. 47 yrs! That’s effin crazy. Who would have ever thought that a Kpop star and the most prolific crooner of all time would sing together? If Bing were alive, I’m certain he would choose V himself. ❤
I’m 55 and grew up with a mother who loved Crosby, Sinatra, Astaire and others of that era - the musical movie, I was raised on them. I’m so amazed by V and his ability to bring old back in a new way while remaining true to the genre!
This is an iconic collab and as V's fan, I'll be forever grateful to the family of Sir Bing Crosby for giving V the privilege to do this dream collab with their Dad. This White Christmas collab really transports us back in time... WOW! V is an old soul and has been greatly influenced by the greats of the past, like Bing, and it is truly an opportunity of a lifetime that he gets to do a "duet" with one of his inspirations. Honestly, I cried so hard when I watched the video the moment it dropped last night because this is a dream come true and I couldn't help but think of V and Yeontan. V really devoted his solo era honoring our dear and precious Yeontan and with the recent heart-breaking news we heard this week, this collab and MV hit sooooo hard.
There's not even an image of V in the 2 MVs (official vid and lyric vid) that were released... he gave all the spotlight to the two most important icons in his life - Sir Bing Crosby and Yeontan. V chose a path less traveled but I'm so proud of him for pursuing what he truly loves and equally grateful to Sir Crosby's family for trusting V so much. Hope more and more people all around the world will get to hear of this timeless masterpiece that truly deserves worldwide recognition and appreciation. Let's join hands in streaming and promoting this very precious Christmas gift from Bing and V... and Yeontan! Thank you for showing love to V. Borahae!
The old and young make a perfect masterpiece blend. Good grief, it took a KIM TAEHYUNG to pull this sophisticated high level production into fruition.😊❤😊
I love all the comments I've read, the ones from the 40's, 60's, 70's. Taehyung, the incredible, charismatic and talented velvet-voiced Kim Tae Hyung continues to follow his own compass and bring music from the past to our era, he is achieving the impossible. to those of this genre and recognize the great voices and talents of the past. TAEHYUNG always said that Crisby was his favorite singer, that he grew up listening to that music. I'm very proud of Tae.
And the Crosby family, thank you for immortalizing Yeontan, that was touching and moving and now that we know that an ARMY bought a star the day Taehyung told us the news and the title "Yeontan" is more beautiful and seems like a thing of fate, because It is almost impossible for the Crosby's family to know, that was a touching detail. Thanks to all those who love and appreciate good music.
It was Crosby foundation that reached out to V for a collab. They had seen his Vlog where he sang "It's been a long long time" and told all viewers how much he loved Crosbys singing.
I just celebrated my 48th b'day 2 wks ago and I remember my grandmother & mother playing this song during the holidays...God blessed their souls. It was a staple bcuz it reminds you of an old-fashion Christmas and how it used to be. Nowadays, Christmas has changed and it not how it was, especially when family members are scattered in other states not having that family bonding time like back in the day. My mom used to play this song right along with watching the movie "White Christmas" that also starred Bing Crosby and I was right there with her feeling joy, happy and warm with the spirit of the Christmas holiday drinking hot cholcolate. It's been yrs since they both passed away and I still keep up with the tradition of listening & watching White Christmas along with my other favorite holiday songs. So for V, to collab with Bing Crosby and sing this song...I'm not surprise! V is an old soul who can sing anything. but when he taps into that soulful jazz baritone voice of his, he's on another level. He blows me away with goosebumps evertime and Winter Ahead is no different.
Great reaction as always 💜 V didn't need permission because they asked him to do it😊
Tengo 69 años. Amo a Bing Crosby. Soñaba esto. Dios, V y la familia Crosby me dieron un gran regalo.
BILLBOARD article - Here's How V of BTS's 'White Christmas' Collaboration With Late 'Idol' Bing Crosby Came Together
"It was just too perfect," Nekich remembers of seeing V's video. "He just had a beautiful jazz-like voice that sounds very similar to a young Bing Crosby. It was a no-brainer: These two are meant to be on a song together."
"The fact that V was such a huge fan was so heartening to us," recalls Mary Crosby. "Until he came along, there wasn't the right person. Because of V, Dad is going to be reaching an entirely different audience."
The last piece of the puzzle was V's contribution, which he recorded remotely just before shipping off in December 2023 for 18 months to complete his mandatory service. His raw talent blew Field away. Says the producer, "The musical decisions [V] made - he understood who he was singing with."
As for whether her father, who died in 1977, would've chosen to do the duet with V if he were alive today, Mary says, "Dad would've jumped at the chance."
Also the editor of the MV said that they found out about Tannie’s passing mid way through the production and they added the final Tannie in the stars scene as a tribute for Tannie.
Actually Tae is the one who started the song
V sings the parts I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas in each verse and he hormones with Bing through out the sing
He did achieved the impossible, they sing so great together at first I didn’t know who was who that’s how great they are together I’m I. My 80’s and I grew up listening to Bing Crosby to hear V singing with Bing Crosby was a treat the blending of thru voices was fantastic it’s a classic and will be heard throughout the years V belongs in the era of the great singers like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin I wish the younger generation an enjoy V’s voice he’s truly an Icon that’s the highest praise I can give him.
V begins the song, then Bing comes in. V does the harmonizing parts as well as sing low with Bing at times. He does sing solo several times, the “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas” verse is Tae each time. It is so well balanced. The producers used a little known radio recording from the 50s for this collaboration. From what I’ve read, Crosby’s family had been wanting to do something with the recording but couldn’t come up with the right voice until one of the their team heard V’s vlog post of him singing “It’s Been a Long Long Time” & that’s when they knew they’d found the voice they needed 😁💜 The news of military enlistment is what lit the fire to get it done and V recorded is part just last year before he went in the army.
The song “White Christmas” has actually been around since 1942 when it was first sung by Bing Crosby in the movie “Holiday Inn” then they made a movie called “White Christmas” where Bing sang it again but with Danny Kaye, Vera-Ellen, & Rosemary Clooney (George Clooney’s aunt). I’m an old classic movie nerd and love Bing Crosby in general so this collab is just a perfect dream for me.
I read this morning on twitter the animator said they learned of Yeontan’s passing while they were working on this video so putting Tannie in the stars was very intentional as a way to honor him even more😭💜 This is the only MV I have ever purchased from iTunes. It is such a special tribute and song, how could I not? 🥹🥰💜
Igual yo y aunque soy hispana siempre me ha encantado el jazz y cantantes como Bing Crosby y Frank Sinatra, y sus películas llenas de música y romance , efectivamente la voz de nuestro principe Kim taehyung encuadra perfectamente en la canción haciendo un duo maravilloso . Estoy muy feliz de esta colaboración y q hayan permitido homenajear a nuestro querido yeontan tan amado por Tae .
Thank you very much for all the explanation you have given us... I love knowing all that information. I grew up with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley thanks to my father... this song “White Christmas” was my father’s favorite Christmas song and listening to it sing to Bing Crosby and Taehyung, whom I love with all my heart... it has made me excited!! I’m sure that both Bing and my father have smiled from heaven when they heard it!! Thank you very much to both of you.. V and Bing Crosby, for this beautiful Christmas gift!!!
V es un artista invaluable. Exquisito.

I’ve watched White Christmas since I was young & I was so excited to hear this collaboration/duet. It didn’t disappoint

Bing Crosby lived and went to Gonzaga University in my hometown of Spokane Washington. We even have the Bing Crosby theater here in Spokane. We are pretty proud of him. I'm so happy about this rendition of a beautiful song with two amazing vocalists. I can't wait until I get my copy of this single.💜💜💜💜
Bing Crosby was the Drake of my time! On the weekends there was Arm Chair Theatre and there I watched all the Bing Crosby movies in black & white! His childhood home is 20 min.from my house! You have no idea how big he was! For Tae to choose him as his idol is no surprise! And Tae also gives a great tribute to his pup Yeontan who has gone to doggie Heaven. Besides Jaeger and Buble', Tae was honored by the Crosby family to sing with Bing. Tae recorded this right before enlisting but it has been in the works since 2022. This classic has always been on the top of Christmas music, but this collab will definitely take the cake!!!! Yes....Im silver ARMY at 73!!!!
J&J, I am a 60-year-old ARMY, and Bing Crosbys' White Christmas was a staple Christmas song played in my household growing up, along with Bing's Christmas movie White Christmas with Danny Kaye. Guys, we know how much of an old soul V is, that Bing Crosby's company REACHED OUT to V, just shows how BTS crosses ALL boundaries and a testament of the influence that BTS has become. NOTHING, NO ONE can touch them. 'Nugh Said...Mic Drop.💜
Спасибо за чудесную реакцию, всегда смотрю вас с удовольствием.
Послушайте несколько раз, и вы начнёте узнавать голос Ви. Он прекрасен!
Es la orimera vez q la familia de bing Crosby hace este tipo de colaboracion y escogio precisamente al fan numeto 1 de esta época kim taehyung para cantar con su padre.
Older Army here and I remember that this song was one of the Christmas-Songs we heard every year at Christmas, specially here in the evening of the 24th, its called Heiligabend here in Germany (Holy Evening). I loved that song because of Bing's deep voice. I played the organ as a kid (a bit) and I played it too. But honestly I loved to play Jingle Bells more *gg*. Still. V did Justice to this song in my opinion and the addition of Yeontan in the video makes it even more precious. I hope V still will have a lovely Christmas, even without Yeontan and in the military. Borahae 🫶
the way taehyung sings that before harmonizing with bing crosby… i’m literally so obsessed with his voice 😭the way taehyung decided to make this song as a tribute to yeontan after he passed, this is the goodbye he couldn’t say with words❤️🩹❤
Taehyung didn't sing it as a tribute to Yeontan. He was approached by the Crosby family to sing the duet with their father, as they said 'there wasn't the right one until V came along'. It's a huge compliment and honour for Taehyung as he's the first to ever sing it with the legendary Bing Crosby.
The production company were already creating the film for the release of the song when they heard from Taehyung that Yeontan had passed, so they added Yeontan in the stars as a tribute. The duet had been in planning for over a year at that time. Taehyung recorded his part of the duet just before he enlisted, almost a year ago. Yeontan passed in the last few weeks, and perhaps at the time, some weeks ago, when Taehyung posted a comment that he missed Tan.
@@OoIoVoIoO It's a huge compliment and honour for crosby as he's the first to ever sing it with the legendary V .
Nie tylko starsi fani lubia tę piosenkę.Caly czas jest na czolowymmiejscu list przebojow.Zaproszenie V do współpracy,to największe wyróżnienie jakie może uzyskać młody piosenkarz ! Moim zdaniem jest to epokowe wydarzenie i na pewno przejdzie do historii.!
I literally grew up watching Bing Cristy’s annual Christmas TV specials. Each one was a treat, and we all got to see his children growing up right along with us. Bing was the first superstar across recordings, radio, movies, tv, and traveling to entertain US troops across the globe. He was also an avid golfer and owner of race horses. White Christmas debuted in the movie Holiday Inn, 1942 in the midst of WWII. Later it was repeated, this time in color in the movie White Christmas.Bing also stared in movies with Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra. Truly an A list star for most of his life. He filmed his last TV Christmas special a few months before his death and if featured a duet with David Bowie. Bing died on a golf course in Spain doing what he enjoyed, playing golf. He helped pioneer audio tape so that he could record his radio program and be able to spend more time golfing. He wisely invested in Ampex which also led to videotape. His was the production company behind Hogan’s Heroes. Quite a fellow.
For each stanza, V starts it, and Bing finishes it, and then they come together in places. I grew up with Bing as my favorite. Also. Bing's estate reached out to V, wanting to do this collaboration with them.
This is the BEST collaboration I have ever heard. Go back and really listen to the stanzas again. You'll be able tell the difference. Pay attention to the word dreaming...you can hear Vs accent in it. Maybe you need to hear the original, then you'll definitely know where V sings and Bing sings. Great review. Thanks.
I love the collab...Bing being one of V's faves from back in the day as well as Sinatra etc I am proud of the way he honored Bing, doing a very subtle collab...allowing Bings original to shine. And then....there's Yeontan his beloved baby, featured here as well. It is so heartwarming and beautiful ❤I cried all day.
There are some people out there not liking this but they need to understand that this is a rendition...this is not intended to steal away from the original... it's V's desire to accompany one of his faves... and add small sprinkles of himself into it. I absolutely love it. V also did not completely cover the entire song, like some people have in the past... so the 'negative' people just need to hush up about it.
Thanks very much guys, it always appreciated ❤
Theres also a darling lyric video that is adorable with scenes of Bing and Yeontan ❤
🫶🏽I am 62 year My mother admired Mr. Crosby and I am an army, I admire V, for his baritone voice, which is my weakness.This is special to me, The song is beautiful, and together the two take it to another level, two voices that came together masterfully!Maybe I could have given it a little bit of rhythm, but it's the same because it sounds amazing. The MV is a beautiful tribute to the stars that shine for all of us in particular, that's how I felt, the family CROSBY said that when they were preparing the MV they received the news of Yeontan's passing, and they decided to add the last scene in which he becomes a star, a lovely detail for V. It's very nice, Bing stops seeing him in the ball and welcomes him in the sleigh, did you see that there are 7 little trees, coincidence? They have united two generations, the Crosby family was the one who contacted V, they knew that he is a big fan of Bing and that he had sung some of his pieces, They said V's voice would blend naturally with Crosby's, It is a collaboration that goes down in music history, It's been almost 30 years since they did one with David Bowye with this same song.
I love it, for all the meaning it has and because it is truly magical and a luxury to listen to two great artists with such incredible voices!! Thanks to the Crosby family and V for this beautiful song.🎶🎁🫶🏽
Felicidades Jordan y Jarred. Dios los bendiga. Bing y V número 1 en canciones navideñas.❤
Hey J&J, 65 yr old ARMY here. I grew up watching the movie White Christmas and listening to Bing Crosby's version of "White Christmas". I loved them both. V is a wonderful partner for this song. It is his voice that starts the song off and of course blends so beautifully with Bing's throughout. Wonderful version of the song and a sweet tender tribute to Yeontan. RIP to Bing and Yeontan.💜💜
70 year old army ,V starters the song then Bing both together, Bing family picked v for the song V loved Yeontan so much 💜
Merry Christmas Jared and Jordan..I am a 77 year old Army and enjoy all of your UTube posts. I was six years old when Bing Crosby released White Christmas..it has been a Holiday Classic ever since.
V is my bias so I thoroughly enjoyed their collaboration on White Christmas!!
BTS literally got me through the panic. I live alone, so UTube was my savior. My daughter and granddaughter are also Army. We attended the concerts at Sofi and Las Vegas together. BTS has changed our lives for the better. Their positive attitude and kindness are amazing..
Keep up the good work guys!! I look forward to your posts..
연탄이를 평생 추모할 수 있는 영상이네요.. 보고싶어요, 순하고 영특하고 사랑이 넘치는 귀여운 울 연탄이🥹🐶🌹
I love Yeonstellation.
Fun fact: An army posted in tiktok bought a star and named it after Yeontan
FUN FACT BING is from my town Spokane. We even have a downtown theater called the Bing Crosby theater that is still active 🫰🏻💜 Bing died when I was 7 but his music was played by my aunt & my grandma. To say he is a timeless icon is an understatement. Bing’s estate has posted about Tae on their social media a few times🫠
Tae actually opened the you said- this is Bing? It was Tae 😊.. seen the stanky face there, Jared 😂
This is such a great song, a classic, and with V became even more so. Their deep deep voices??
Also, the Bing Crosby Estate contacted Tae to make this duet around 2 yrs ago. Mr. Bing's daughter said so in an interview as well as the lady who liaised (edited to add: they were the producer, sorry again) between the two parties (forgot the name Sarah something sorry). Imagine they chose Tae, who's very well known for loving Mr. Bing. What an honor! 💜
Ps. Yeonstallation is a good one btw! 👍
45yo army here and we grew up watching Bing's movies and hearing these songs, so this is a great crossover for us silver armys. Apparently the animators were working on a animated MV when they hward Yeontan had passed and rushed to get some parts updated to add him in the MV as a tribute, which of course made me bawl, then I read on X that an ARMY adopted a star and named it Yeontan so there really is a star named after him now. Super sweet. Loved this collab and loved your reaction. It was V singing first 😂❤💜
Yes, Taehyung also has a star named after him, a gift some years ago from a fansite, so Yeontan and Taehyung are together in the heavens.💜
The Crosby's reached out to Tae for this duet. Vocalists like Bublé,Carey and Boccelli have also covered this but Tae was asked and the Crosby family have called him an icon of the 21st century.
I'm 56 and this version, especially with the MV, takes me back to being a kid when Christmas was magical and not commercialised as it is now.
I am 57 and my childhood was filled with Bing Crosby's music at Christmas. "White Christmas", "Winter Wonderland", "I'll be Home for Christmas", "Do You Hear What I Hear?" are some my favorite Christmas songs. I also loved his other music ("Swinging on a Star", Dream a Little Dream of Me", "My Funny Valentine") and enjoyed watching his movies as well. I think Taehyung 's voice blended beautifully with Mr. Crosby's and seeing Yeontan in the video touched my heart and made me cry.
Спасибо заа оценку наших кумиров ,два голоса это бальзам для души ,песня успокаивающая и красивая😢 Спасибо❤❤❤
7 Christmas trees, Yeontan, 7 years of Yeontan's life, yes it's always 7, Tae's Voice, Legend Bing Crosby... all are perfect. By the way, there's a real YEONTAN STAR now... because a rich ARMY had bought and registered a star and named it "Yeontan" ... I know he is really running and no pain in fur heaven now. He can run free now without having a hard time.
This song is so beautiful and V really respected Bing Crosby in this version. I am 70 and grew up with Bing and have loved Kim Taehyung for 4 years when I discovered BTS. It has always been a thrill for me when Tae sings or hums all of the oldies from Bing to Ella in his Lives- go back and check them out. Kiss me once and kiss me twice and kiss me once again....
'White Christmas' is the undisputed Christmas hit. The single was originally released in 1942 and to this day, it is the best-selling single of all time. Keep in mind, there were no pop charts or singles charts at that time period. Crosby's estate has said, that until V came along, there wasn't a right person to work on a collaboration such as this. So they reached out to V and the company and brought up the idea. Bing Crosby's last collaboration was with David Bowie in 1977. Other artists he's worked with are The Andrew Sisters, Judy Garland, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra, just to name a few. So the fact that V is now added to the list of literal legends is absolutely insane.
The illustrator for the music video commented that they heard of Yeontan's passing while working on the MV, and they wanted to add the last scene with Tannie in the stars to celebrate Tannie's memory. Also, recently an army bought a star in the constellation of Capricorn (Tae's zodiac) and named it Yeontan. So in multiple different ways, Tannie really is a star in the sky now, just like Tae said ❤️🩹
Hello guys! 60 year old ARMY here since 2021. I have loved Bing my whole life thanks to my parents playing his records and movies as I was growing up. I think this duet is a beautiful tribute to both Bing and Tae’s beloved Yeontan.
So funny how Jordan didn´t realize that the first person singing is V 🤭🤭🤭
60 yo Army here! I loved this version of the song! I grew up listening to this song during the Christmas season… so beautiful! I have been a Bing Crosby fan for decades… hard not to enjoy his magnificent vocals! This duet could not have been more poignant 💜 V matched Bing’s harmonies so smoothly! Totally heartwarming 💜💜💜☮️. The animated video paying tribute to Bing and Yeontan was equally amazing and nostalgic 😍😍😍
Me encantó esta colaboración , es todo lo que es Kim taehyung , un ser extraordinario en todo y para todo 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😂
❤❤❤
Army bought a star and named Yeontan just recently , and today another Army just bought a star for Gureum. Both are inside Capricorn constellation.
The amount of love the fans have for Taehyung and Jungkook is amazing.
Rest in peace beautiful babies. You will be very missed.💜
Gureum was JK's family dog, and died in '21. This is about Taehyung's huge success being chosen by the family to sing the first duet for White Christmas, ever, with Bing Crosby, and why the production company included Yeontan in the stars to pay tribute as Taehyung told them his baby had passed while the film was being made.
Don't use Taehyung to bring your fave into this. Ships don't exist, but Kim Taehyung's legendary baritone voice does, so please show respect.
@@OoIoVoIoO I was just sharing information about what ARMYs have done to honor Yeontan and Gureum. How is mentioning both pets and their love from fans considered shipping? I love and support all the members equally. Gureum’s passing is part of Jungkook’s story, and I mentioned it out of respect, just like Taehyung’s achievements and the tribute to Yeontan. Both pets were loved, and both deserve to be remembered with kindness. 💜
Who is gurieom ??? Never heard
@@ruman-q7n jungkooks and his family dog, but he passed away
V started the song…. You guys, listen to it again 😅
I’m 55 and this song has been Christmas to me forever, even though I was young when he passed. It’s from the movie Holiday Inn, made in 1942. It’s a fun film, for sure. I recommend it! 💜🎄💜
V sang the first line of the song, and he had a few other solo bits. Also, everytime there was a harmony, it was V. I am a proud ARMY Auntie, and it was very easy to tell who was who because Bing Crosby's version was part of our lives growing up. It was lovely to learn that V was invited by the family.
If you are interested in another beautiful Bing Crosby duet, look up Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth with David Bowie.
V started the song
I grew up with Bing Crosby's Christmas album being played in my house each year, in addition to all of his other works. He was part of my childhood and life. V has done a beautiful job with this version of White Christmas. I recommend you watch the movie.
Actually it was the state that contact V for this collab, and the animators had tannie in the clip but when they heard the news the made it as a tribute for him
The Crosby Estate approached V not the other way around. The song featured in Holiday Inn and also White Christmas, probably the most famous Christmas movie! The collaboration is huge and they chose him!
YEONTANNIE was so LOVED❤
Splendide, émue en pleuré tellement que c est touchant.
Bravo 🎉🎉🎉 joyeux noel .
V sang the lines "I'm dreaming of a White Chrisymas..."
Bing Crosby hasn’t had a Christmas duet this iconic since his 1977 collaboration with David Bowie on Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy. Taehyung being approached first for a White Christmas duet is a huge testament to his artistry and global recognition! Yes, it was the estate who pitched the idea of a collab to V. They knew of V's sincere admiration of Bing. 💜
The Estate chose V and approached V and V started the song it was v singing and then throughout the song along with Bing if you listen really close you can hear the differance what an honor
45 here born in 79 and I grew up as what they call an Old Soul !! I love Christmas Music in General Not Just Bing Crosby and V is My Bias out the Vocal line , I have been Army since 2017 and all I can say is this Brings Me Back to My childhood Days!! Love V’s Voice as well as Bing Crosby!! Their Voices Blend So Well 💜
Bing Crosby's people contacted V to do the song. V or Taeyung is the 1st voice in the song. Bing Crosby is a multi-talented artist.
Silver Army - love this collaboration. Amazing!
I'm truly surprised that you two didn't recognize V's voice.
I’m 62. Big fan of White Christmas. The movie is my favorite and the song reminds me of my childhood. Bing is legendary crooner and it’s so cool they reached out to V to do this remake. I can tell the difference on there voices. V is starting the song. Then Bing comes in.
V begings.the song and then in the second verse it is Bing Crosby who s singing. Listen well and you will hear the difference. It is a classic !!
I’m 74 years
V was first to sing ! I can distinguish the difference
I read somewhere that when Tannie passed they changed the movie to memorialize Tannie.
My parents had Bing’s albums - they called him a “Crooner”
Winter Ahead's silent Carol version is even more beautiful ❤
V sang the first 2 lines. All the lines of I am dreaming of White Christmas. It was the estate of Bing Crosby that reached out to v to do this duet.
Over 60 army. Loved it. Made me cry
V STARTET guys.And did you notice how many Christmas trees their were 7 WHAT !!!!!
V I Love you 💗
Yeotan tannie love you forever 😢tan tan😭💜💜
Excited to see your reaction 🥳
At the beginning, V starts singing and not Bing, he has a few verses alone during the song, but they actually have a voice with a very similar tone, although V's is a little more velvety and Bing's is slightly fuller-bodied, with very 70s characteristics
You don’t know V’s voice? He was the first one singing, followed by Bing Crosby. Amazing voices they both have, thank you Bing Crosby estate, the collab with V was the right choice.
This is one of my most favorite Christmas songs. He died the year I graduated from high school. V did a phenomenal job in this duet. I hope they do more Christmas music.
