shinee is the only male group where vocal positions don't matter. all 5 are main vocalists. but when jonghyun passed away all his lines mostly went to his bby taemin. in general after that. Taemin and onew are the ones who have the most lines and the most weight vocally in shinee currently. I suggest "EVERYBODY" "DREAM GIRL" and "WHY SO SERIOUS" from 2013
Jonghyun is one in a billion, he's just so special. If you react to his solo music I recommend using subtitles. He wrote and composed almost all of his own solo music and he's probably my favorite lyricist in any genre. Skeleton Flower, Blinking Game, and Elevator are my favorite lyrically.
Live versions always show if the artists really can sing. And Shinee is all about the voices. Each an everyone of them has a great voice and the harmonies are not from this world (and I say that as an Army) "Excuse Me Miss" shows their versatility live. And if you are brave and can cope with it, I definitely recommend the live version of "From Now On". The lyrics hit even harder then. I can't tell how often I've watched that perfomance and I'm always a sobbing mess afterwards. :/
Pfff…i need to prepare myself. I always end up sobbing after a SHINee reaction cause it’s hard to understand that he is no longer here. My mind cannot accept it… As I just found them, I am just now going through all the stages of grief… thank you so much for your recommendation! ❤️
From Now On is ROUGH! But the fact that they could sing so powerfully just months after his passing is a real testament to their skill and love for him. Of course, the rest of the concert has some pretty rough patches as well ... Diamond Sky, The World Where you Exist (where they flash the light during Jonghyun's part), and ... makes me tear up thinking about it ... Replay. When the fans spell out 5HINEE ... man.
@@lorydannagr You know as someone who has been watching since 2008. Losing him was hard. When I’m done and miss him I watch their videos of their performances or them just being annoying. I ain’t over not hearing it anymore still and that’s okay. That’s why I treasure the videos we have and his albums. Their soothing ❤ From now on is a song I cannot listen to since I heard it at the dome or arena, but i think that Jjong is now watching his sons and husband hehe And if you listen to Taem now you can hear Jjong’s tone sometimes. Since he was trained by him and onew. I don’t know if you heard the song Already by Taem it’s written by Jjong and Taem sang it live only once the background you hear is Jjong’s voice. He didn’t rearrange the song by replacing his mom’s voice 😂❤❤❤ It’s a beautiful song !!
Shinee was the first kpop group I got into, though I don't follow them closely. To me, they are the standard for boy groups. Their talent is unreal. Jonghyun's voice was my favorite. His talent was out of this world, and he was such a loss. If you can, react to the song Obession. It's my favorite from them.
In SHINee's SHINee World Concert V (SWC5) in Seoul performance "Ring Ding Dong" was the opening song of that set. Right before this, Taemin had performed his solo song "Goodbye (Sayonara Hitori)" while the other members were changing their clothes, so as you noticed, we don't see him in the beginning because it took him a little longer to get redressed. However, you can still hear Taemin's voice in the beginning of the song because he was actually singing his lines while finishing getting ready from backstage. We see him pop up from underneath the stage and join them a few seconds into the performance. That's how good they are at what they do. They still give 110% no matter what, and sound perfect even while multitasking. ;) If you watch this full concert, you will see that their "Ring Ding Dong" and "Lucifer" set is about 1 hour and 20 minutes into their 3 1/2 hour concert. This just shows you how powerful they are from beginning to end. Taemin has literally been going nonstop for almost 15 minutes at this point. Then right after "Lucifer," they talk to the audience, so he doesn't get to catch his breath for almost 10 more minutes. And then within less than 10 minutes, they are all back on stage after taking turns changing their clothes, and are ready for their next set of songs. If you think this performance was good, just wait until you see a full set or the full concert, ua-cam.com/video/GVo4BqXy-T8/v-deo.html. :D They are impressive when you see them perform one song, but when you see how much passion and energy they use for a full set, and even a full concert, and still are able to maintain stable vocals while singing live the whole time, you will be even more blown away. You can't fully understand just how magnificent of performers SHINee are until you see a whole concert from beginning to end. Fun fact: This concert was held in 2016. You can tell the concert is in 2016 because Minho has gray hair, which means this was during their "1 Of 1" promotions, which was SHINee's title track from their comeback in 2016. You will see they have the same look and style in their "1 of 1" MV. Minho dyes his hair so infrequently, and each of the member's hairstyles usually change so dramatically for every comeback because of their effort to continually be trendy, that you often can tell what era something is part of just by the members' hair colors and styles. This was their 5th world tour -- and at this point they had already held more than 100 concerts in their career. So Onew and Jonghyun were about 27, Minho and Key were about 25 and Taemin was around 23. If you are impressed with Jonghyun's long high note in "Lucifer" -- which is about 20 seconds long -- just wait. Jonghyun is known for his amazing vocal abilities that is why he is considered one of the BEST vocalists of all time. What you just heard is normal when it comes to Jonghyun, especially when he performs live. However, although Jonghyun* has some impressive high notes, it doesn't even come close to what Onew can do. Check out Onew's performance of "Friend," where he broke the record for the longest continuous note without changing tone or pitch, at 40+ seconds. All the members of SHINee can hit impressive high notes. Even Minho, who is the main rapper and the one with the deepest voice out of all of them, has been known to hit some amazing high notes on occasion. SHINee are considered vocal powerhouses for a reason. *Please don't be afraid to say Jonghyun's name and talk about him all the time in your reactions. It's OK if it makes us a little sad sometimes, but the way to honor him and to show your love is to appreciate all the hundreds of videos we have with him to keep his memory alive. Don't treat him like a taboo subject that can't be mentioned by name. All the SHINee members will be the first to tell you that the hardest part about losing Jonghyun was the fact that people are afraid to talk about him. For the longest time the members say they hated how everyone made them feel like they weren't allowed to mention his name. So now all the members make a point to keep him and his name alive in all that they do. He is a member of SHINee so just treat him like another member and talk about him like you do everyone else. :D SHINee will forever be 5HINee, so he shouldn't be left out. What you just heard was the remixed version of "Ring Ding Dong" and "Lucifer," so you might notice they sound a little different than what you heard in the MVs for both of these songs. SHINee never performs a song the same way twice, so it's always a new experience no matter how many times you have seen or heard them perform the song. That's why SHINee concerts are considered one of the best concerts in the world. SHINee live are always 300 times better than any of their studio recordings, and it's almost guaranteed that if someone doesn't vibe with one of their songs right away, the minute they see them perform it live, they gain a whole new appreciation for he song and it almost always becomes their new favorite. It's called the SHINee effect. That's why their live performances are considered the top in the industry. What you just experienced is why, even as rookies, SHINee was so highly respected by everyone, including their seniors. Their live vocal ability while performing intense choreography was something no one else was doing at the time, and people were blown away by how perfect their singing and harmonies were. Even still today after more than 16 years in the industry, SHINee is the group that everyone looks up to and wants to be like.
Jonghyun is just... I really don't have the right words. The other Shinee members are amazingly talented and they've described Jjong as the Best Artist. That's what he is for me, too. He blows me away - and it's not just his incredible voice and his stage presence and emotion, it's everything he brought to the table. (For instance when he was writing the lyrics for View he took the other Shinee members vocal qualities and ways of pronouncing words into consideration so that each member would sound their best with their particular lines. That man, just amazing.) Don't feel bad about confusing Onew's and Key's faces sometimes! They were the hardest for me to learn too, by appearance - there's something about the angle of their cheekbones that kept tripping me up when I first started exploring Shinee 3 years ago. Since you really like Onew's voice you would love Please Don't Go, the Shinee World Concert 5 duet between Jonghyun and Onew. I have so many recommendations for both Shinee and for Jonghyun, I would probably overwhelm you....
@@lorydannagrI second the recommendation for Please Don’t Go! Amazingly beautiful duet between Jonghyun and Onew. Their voices complimented each other so well, as expected from SHINee members! ☺️
I am so glad you are enjoying them. I always feel like they are so much better live haha. Their vocals really show then! I am glad you are trying to get into SHINee, they have a lot of wonderful years to explore! Please know it's okay to miss Jonghyun, we all do. But there is also a lot of love in remembrance and he is always with us!
@@lorydannagr It must be raw right now, meeting them and having to grieve as well. It gets easier, because as you are with them the more you see that they still remember him and love him every single time they are on stage! SHINee is always 5💙 I've been with them since 2008 and don't regret it at all. They are so kind and thoughtful and grown so much and I love their music and vocals so much. When you are feeling up to it, and it won't make you sad, you should check out Jonghyun's live stages for Hallelujah and Crazy. They are my favourite from his first CD and a good place to start! Crazy also has an MV. He is always my bias and his vocals are something else.
Thank you for this reaction which falls on key's birthday and with the release of his 3 mini album. Lucifer holds a special place in my heart...it's the first k-pop song I listened to and that made me fall madly in love with Shinee 💎 also Lucifer was the first song with a dance practice video. Joghyun is mine bias so I completely understand how you feel when you think about him...he was born to be on stage, his energy, passion, voice is unique...when he was on stage he sang with his soul. Above all, Shinee should be seen live
shinee is powerhouse in vocals bc they're come from SM (known for quality vocals). at first Minho and Taemin were the ones with the least lines. Taemin debuted at the age of 14 as a main dancer, when his voice was just changing, sm didn't invest in training him and he did it on his own. jonghyun and onew helped him. In the end if you look closely with every release of shinee, taemin is the one who grew the most vocally in that group, he started to gain more lines to the point that all of jonghyun's vocal parts were given to taemin and today taemin is a vocal monster and performer of performers in the industry, which you will see if you keep reacting to him. but of course jonghyun was an insane vocalist from the beggining. next i recommend shinee - don't call me (2021). everybody (2013)
I love SHINee. I became a Shawol before they started to enlist and they had their first comeback as 4 (forever 5). I became enamored by their strength and talents. Love their old and new discography just as much. SHINee is always a treat to watch truly legends that will shine forever. also btw you said you wanted to find more music in your intro, I hope I can introduce you to other groups as well. I want to introduce you to the Kpop Beast Idol representatives. 2PM from the 2nd kpop gen and Monsta X from the 3rd Kpop gen. Called Beast idols for how they both debuted with stronger bolder "manly" Beastly concepts compared to what most call the "Flower Boy" concept. so for recommendation: 2PM - Make It (it's their last cb. they havent been active as a group as of lately but are still busy acting, in solos, and other stuff) Monsta X - Gambler
@@greywhale agree with Monsta X, they are really good and have very good songs (Jealousy, Shoot Out, Alligator, Someone’s Someone are my faves). They have the best rap duo ever. The other group I would recommend would be EXO, also a vocal powerhouse and great music and one of the best dancers in kpop and best friend of Taemin: KAI 😍
If you haven't heard Onew sing the opera Nessun Dorma, it's a must. My other favorite live song was this one....their voices blend so perfectly: ua-cam.com/video/5QgBAwCddrU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Day-K
The lyrics of this song talk about the difficulty of leaving a relationship with a manipulative woman, because of emotional dependence, *"Her whisper is the Lucifer",* since he is the "father of lies", the lyrics say that even she mistreating him, he can't keep her away, because she always finds a way to convince him to stay, this is something that a lot of people go through, unfortunately, and they've been talking about it for 14 years.
In the second live you watched Taemin wasn't there in the beginning because he had a solo stage right before while the other changes outfits, so he was singing the start of the song from Backstage while changing clothes and then quickly joined the rest on stage.
In SHINee's "Lucifer" MV the "smoke" or "light trail" we see is supposed to represent the aura of a girl who has devilish powers like Lucifer, who is trying to possess them and take over their lives. As the English lines in the song say, "Loveaholic, robotronic ... her whisper is the Lucifer." (They are using auto tune because they are supposed to be "robotronic"-ly controlled by the girl who is "The Lucifer." So the auto tune is meant to make them sound robotic.) In other words, the woman or girl they are talking about is so desirable that she is like Lucifer and you have to use all your willpower just to resist her wiles. In the MV we see them trying to fight against Lucifer's powers and resist her attempts to try to make them bend to her will, etc. That's why in the choreography we see all the robotic moves because they are showing how "Lucifer" is trying to control them like a robot. For example, they put their wrists together like they are being handcuffed to show how she is trapping them, and they vibrate to show how they are being manipulated by "Lucifer" and they are trying to resist her powers, etc. FYI: That vibration you saw them do is 100% them actually shaking like that, there aren't any camera tricks. As you saw in their "Lucifer" live, they do that exact same thing. :D When they explain to people how to do that move they say you have to "tense all your muscles and then pretend like you are being startled." LOL we have no idea why they had to be dancing in front of a sports car, but that was kind of an iconic thing that Kpop companies did back then in a lot of their MVs. The group would dance around a fancy car to show off their coolness and to give the video a more futuristic, expensive looking aesthetic. "Lucifer" was released in 2010 -- more than 14 years ago -- so this was just the look that a lot of MVs had back then, in part because everyone was following SHINee's lead. Just take a look at TVXQ's, Super Junior's, Infinite's or 2PM's MVs, etc. from around that time and you will see a similar look and style. SHINee was setting trends in the industry with "Lucifer." I'm not sure why people are often so thrown by their hairstyles and outfits in this MV. :D I think they are actually all pretty cool for doing something different that sets them apart from everyone else in the industry. That is what makes SHINee legends and why "Lucifer" is such an iconic song and dance.You're not going to remember a group or a song if they look and sound the same as everyone else, you remember them for standing out and not being afraid to be unique. SHINee are icons for everything they do including their fashion and hairstyles. They don't look like that because they didn't care, their hairstyles and clothing choices were chosen because they wanted to stand out. Everything SHINee does is trendsetting and because of their experimental concept, they are intentionally meant to do something that no one else is doing in order to create the next trend. Nothing SHINee ever does will be the same and they tackle a new genre of music, dance and fashion with EVERY song they release, including within a single album. They are the group that the rest of the industry pays attention to as a guide for what the next trends will be in the Kpop industry. SHINee are also known for never being afraid to experiment with everything they do, including their style, and as the fashionista and literally a stylist for the group, Key is always looking for ways to be unique, so what we see is his hair was bleached blond on the side and then shaved down to his scalp. He is known for always wanting to stand out. That's why Key's style is often just straddling the edge of outrageous, but somehow always manages to look cool. This was also the era where Taemin had long hair and it made him one of the most popular of the members at the time, especially with their Japanese fans. The Japanese culture really embraces men with long hair and the members said that he was one of the most popular at the time because of his style. Taemin with long hair is so iconic and many in the fandom were really sad when he eventually cut his hair. Taemin may not talk about loving or hating his hairstyles, but he has no problem laughing about their past looks. In the last few years he has learned to embrace his androgynous side and he often still wears hair extensions in his MVs and concerts, just check out his solo MV "Advice" or his blond hair during SHINee's "Hard," etc. Fun fact: One reason why Minho has super short hair in "Lucifer" is because SHINee's comeback before this was for their song "Ring Ding Dong" and during that comeback everyone had long rocker hairstyles. Minho hated his long hair, but he was forced to live with it for several months because it was part of their promotions. (Minho says he hadn't cut his hair since debut, so in "Ring Ding Dong" era he had been growing his hair out for more than a year.) Therefore, I have a feeling, the minute he was finally able to cut his hair he decided to go really short for "lucifer", and he has refused to grow his hair out long ever since. ;P In this MV, Taemin had just turned 17. Onew and Jonghyun are 20 and Key and Minho are 18. "Lucifer" is actually known as one of the most difficult songs and dances to cover because of its tutting and popping and for the fact that it has a very fast paced beat with dance moves that are very sharp and precise, which are designed to hit every beat of the song. (They actually refer to that tutting formation as a bug or worm. Their arms are supposed to look like the legs of a creature.) And the song itself is very complicated with the songs wide range of notes and flow. Many amateurs have thought "Lucifer" looks like one of SHINee's more simple songs and dances. But the minute they try to sing the song and/or dance the choreography, they soon discover that it is way more complicated than they thought. It only looks and sounds simple, because SHINee makes it look that way. Check out this clip of SHINee teaching a group of actors and comedians "Lucifer" as part of a challenge on the variety show "Invincible Baseball Team," ua-cam.com/video/-TLCK7KbLus/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/0V02cQwYLMQ/v-deo.html. It's funny because when they came to meet SHINee to start the practice, Jonghyun asked them why they chose this song of all songs, and they said because it looks manly and they thought it was fairly easy to cover. But the first thing Jonghyun said to them, while laughing, was "oh no, actually it's one of our most difficult and it took us extra time to really perfect it." :D
You should definitely check out the dance practice. SHINee's "Lucifer" dance practice video was the very first dance practice video ever in the Kpop industry to be released specifically for fans. They had never made a dance practice video that wasn't just for them to watch, so to SHINee this was just a dance practice, it wasn't a performance video like what you see in "dance practice" videos today. SHINee is the group that started the dance practice video trend, and they are why dance practice videos are even a thing today. :D Actually it's not that crazy that you can recognize Onew's voice more than his face. That's what the SHINee members are known for. All their voices are so unique that most Shawols will tell you we can recognize who is singing or speaking at any moment without even having to see them. We can tell who is singing each line of a song within 1 second even when it's something we have never heard before. They are a group with 5 very distinct voices, that when combined, become the golden standard as a vocal group. There is no other group like SHINee. I'm so happy you chose to watch a live with Jonghyun as well. Not hearing Jonghyun live, and especially in a song like "Lucifer," is a crime. He is the main vocalist and the voice of SHINee for a reason. (If you notice, in the more recent live with only 4 members, they still left Jonghyun's voice on the backing track during his parts in the song. Although the other members take over most of Jonghyun's parts in their songs when performing live, they often still make his voice part of the background because the song just isn't the same without him.)
Thank you for reacting to SHINee again. Can't wait to see more of them. These days are hard to see people bias my bias😊. People don't even dare to react to his solo songs anymore, so thank you🥹! If you want to react to their whole concert. Please inform me if you have like a full playlist of content of SHINee on your patreon. I will subscribe then😂, kinda in a budget and i only focus on 2nd and B.A.P of 3rd gen😊.
I will react to the solos too. It’s a bit hard now as I start crying when i see him and how amazing he is. With Patreon, I’m still on BTS. When I will start with SHINee I will let you know. 💜 And I get the budgeting 100% 🫣
Great reaction! If anyone in particular is helping you pick videos, 👍👍👍👍 Recommend you watch the dance practice for Lucifer. Although it wasn't the first ever, it was the one that jump started the trend of groups recording and posting them. Taemin's shirt is iconic. Jonghyun's parts are always top tier difficult so it's difficult to cover them these days. It's truly amazing to watch how well the others do it, and a testament to how skilled they all are. The RDD/Lucifer mash-up from SWC V is a must watch for those who want to see what top tier Kpop performances can be. Jonghyun went ALL OUT for the ENTIRE concert ... Please Don't Go, Farewell My Love, Romeo and Juliet, etc. And most of it is LIVE vocals. Worth a watch. It is really hard as you dive into SHINee to not be upset every time you see how awesome Jonghyun is. Just have to focus to his legacy and how much he was able to share during his too short life. There are a few performances that are especially hard to watch (From Now On, Before Our Spring compilation, Shinin, and several others). But once you get through them, in the end it will only increase your appreciation for Jonghyun and SHINee.
I have a very amazing friend that made me a Shinee playlist. ❤️ I am still very new to them and Jonghyun’s voice amazes me so much and I am so sad that he will not amaze us anymore…. When I see him I always think of going to a SHINee concert and I will not able to see him… I’m just going through the loss stages all at once now. But I am happy he has an amazing legacy. ❤️
There's still a lot of content for you to react to, but I hope you also react to the boys' solos, Taemin is the one who has the most years as a soloist, but they all have solo careers too, with albums, osts, music videos, shows and everything, and I really love everything that each of them has released . Since Taemin started a while ago, it's normal for you to hear more about his solo career *(he debuted solo in 2014, Jonghyun in 2015, Key and Onew in 2018, and Minho in 2022)* but I hope you give a chance to the other members too, you won't regret it. ^^ *(Onew and Key had comebacks as soloists this month, I hope you watch)*
The only group which have impressed me more than Shinee is Queen.. for me is SHINee kpop‘s Queen. They are so talented and dedicated, all of them. This is why they are relevant after 16 years in the business. this performance shows why they are the live kings.. live much much better than recorded.. they are eating CD‘s.. you are right..Jonghyun was a full blood musician and artist and had a big influence of Shinees music.. he wrote a lot of lyrics and songs, also for other groups like Exo..he had so much passion and heart.. still miss him so much.. he was and is the biggest gem in Kpop.. you should watch his „Y Si Fuera Ella“ performance.
@@lorydannagr well, I still got goosebumps and tears in my eyes but it’s ok. I still can’t watch „From now on“ and „our page“ without tears but it’s ok. This is the catharsis we Shawols need. Hearing and listening to him is the only way to show respect to this great artist. He did so well, our angel.
You're on the right path to differentiating *Key* from *Onew,* ✨ their voices✨, you guessed who was who in the video, they were very similar in the past, the boys themselves talked about it, they were especially similar from 2013 onwards, from then on it stays easier for you to differentiate them, so don't worry ^^
In the recent videos it’s pretty easy. I can easy recognise them, but in the older ones….pretty hard. But with time I will be better at it. I can recognise Onew’s voice. I love his voice. It has warmth. I cannot explain. ❤️
@@lorydannagr He really has an unmistakable voice, he debuted as *Lead Vocal* , but people always considered that SHINee has *2 main vocalists, Onew and Jonghyun, IU* already said that he is her favorite voice, because his voice never changed, he only improved his techniques, but he always sang well, and if she were a man, she would want her voice to sound like his, he was in denial while listening to her say that 🥹
Sorry for butchering Jonghyun’s name. I watched Seventeen before and Jeonghan got stuck. 🫣 I’m struggling with the names.
No need to apologize ! At first I was the same that’s I why I Stan just Shinee 5 names that’s enough for me 😂 much love and awesome reaction❤
Jonghyun is a crazy vocalist and performer. The best, in my opinion.
Wow❤ i recommend their live Dear Name @IU palette 😊
shinee is the only male group where vocal positions don't matter. all 5 are main vocalists. but when jonghyun passed away all his lines mostly went to his bby taemin. in general after that. Taemin and onew are the ones who have the most lines and the most weight vocally in shinee currently. I suggest "EVERYBODY" "DREAM GIRL" and "WHY SO SERIOUS" from 2013
Shinee's live stage are legendaries... Their vocals are the best
Jonghyun is one in a billion, he's just so special. If you react to his solo music I recommend using subtitles. He wrote and composed almost all of his own solo music and he's probably my favorite lyricist in any genre. Skeleton Flower, Blinking Game, and Elevator are my favorite lyrically.
He really is special….❤️
SHINee is simply THE BEST!👍💚👍💚👍💚👍💚👍💙
SHINee are LIVING LEGENDS OF K POP!!!😂
Live versions always show if the artists really can sing. And Shinee is all about the voices. Each an everyone of them has a great voice and the harmonies are not from this world (and I say that as an Army) "Excuse Me Miss" shows their versatility live. And if you are brave and can cope with it, I definitely recommend the live version of "From Now On". The lyrics hit even harder then. I can't tell how often I've watched that perfomance and I'm always a sobbing mess afterwards. :/
Pfff…i need to prepare myself. I always end up sobbing after a SHINee reaction cause it’s hard to understand that he is no longer here. My mind cannot accept it… As I just found them, I am just now going through all the stages of grief… thank you so much for your recommendation! ❤️
From Now On is ROUGH! But the fact that they could sing so powerfully just months after his passing is a real testament to their skill and love for him. Of course, the rest of the concert has some pretty rough patches as well ... Diamond Sky, The World Where you Exist (where they flash the light during Jonghyun's part), and ... makes me tear up thinking about it ... Replay. When the fans spell out 5HINEE ... man.
@@lorydannagr You know as someone who has been watching since 2008. Losing him was hard. When I’m done and miss him I watch their videos of their performances or them just being annoying. I ain’t over not hearing it anymore still and that’s okay. That’s why I treasure the videos we have and his albums. Their soothing ❤ From now on is a song I cannot listen to since I heard it at the dome or arena, but i think that Jjong is now watching his sons and husband hehe And if you listen to Taem now you can hear Jjong’s tone sometimes. Since he was trained by him and onew. I don’t know if you heard the song Already by Taem it’s written by Jjong and Taem sang it live only once the background you hear is Jjong’s voice. He didn’t rearrange the song by replacing his mom’s voice 😂❤❤❤ It’s a beautiful song !!
Shinee was the first kpop group I got into, though I don't follow them closely.
To me, they are the standard for boy groups. Their talent is unreal.
Jonghyun's voice was my favorite. His talent was out of this world, and he was such a loss.
If you can, react to the song Obession. It's my favorite from them.
SHINee !! 5 forever ! I love them so much !! 💎💎💎💎💎
SHINee always surprises us together or solo, they are amazing
In SHINee's SHINee World Concert V (SWC5) in Seoul performance "Ring Ding Dong" was the opening song of that set. Right before this, Taemin had performed his solo song "Goodbye (Sayonara Hitori)" while the other members were changing their clothes, so as you noticed, we don't see him in the beginning because it took him a little longer to get redressed. However, you can still hear Taemin's voice in the beginning of the song because he was actually singing his lines while finishing getting ready from backstage. We see him pop up from underneath the stage and join them a few seconds into the performance. That's how good they are at what they do. They still give 110% no matter what, and sound perfect even while multitasking. ;)
If you watch this full concert, you will see that their "Ring Ding Dong" and "Lucifer" set is about 1 hour and 20 minutes into their 3 1/2 hour concert. This just shows you how powerful they are from beginning to end. Taemin has literally been going nonstop for almost 15 minutes at this point. Then right after "Lucifer," they talk to the audience, so he doesn't get to catch his breath for almost 10 more minutes. And then within less than 10 minutes, they are all back on stage after taking turns changing their clothes, and are ready for their next set of songs.
If you think this performance was good, just wait until you see a full set or the full concert, ua-cam.com/video/GVo4BqXy-T8/v-deo.html. :D They are impressive when you see them perform one song, but when you see how much passion and energy they use for a full set, and even a full concert, and still are able to maintain stable vocals while singing live the whole time, you will be even more blown away. You can't fully understand just how magnificent of performers SHINee are until you see a whole concert from beginning to end.
Fun fact: This concert was held in 2016. You can tell the concert is in 2016 because Minho has gray hair, which means this was during their "1 Of 1" promotions, which was SHINee's title track from their comeback in 2016. You will see they have the same look and style in their "1 of 1" MV. Minho dyes his hair so infrequently, and each of the member's hairstyles usually change so dramatically for every comeback because of their effort to continually be trendy, that you often can tell what era something is part of just by the members' hair colors and styles.
This was their 5th world tour -- and at this point they had already held more than 100 concerts in their career. So Onew and Jonghyun were about 27, Minho and Key were about 25 and Taemin was around 23.
If you are impressed with Jonghyun's long high note in "Lucifer" -- which is about 20 seconds long -- just wait. Jonghyun is known for his amazing vocal abilities that is why he is considered one of the BEST vocalists of all time. What you just heard is normal when it comes to Jonghyun, especially when he performs live.
However, although Jonghyun* has some impressive high notes, it doesn't even come close to what Onew can do. Check out Onew's performance of "Friend," where he broke the record for the longest continuous note without changing tone or pitch, at 40+ seconds. All the members of SHINee can hit impressive high notes. Even Minho, who is the main rapper and the one with the deepest voice out of all of them, has been known to hit some amazing high notes on occasion. SHINee are considered vocal powerhouses for a reason.
*Please don't be afraid to say Jonghyun's name and talk about him all the time in your reactions. It's OK if it makes us a little sad sometimes, but the way to honor him and to show your love is to appreciate all the hundreds of videos we have with him to keep his memory alive. Don't treat him like a taboo subject that can't be mentioned by name. All the SHINee members will be the first to tell you that the hardest part about losing Jonghyun was the fact that people are afraid to talk about him. For the longest time the members say they hated how everyone made them feel like they weren't allowed to mention his name. So now all the members make a point to keep him and his name alive in all that they do. He is a member of SHINee so just treat him like another member and talk about him like you do everyone else. :D SHINee will forever be 5HINee, so he shouldn't be left out.
What you just heard was the remixed version of "Ring Ding Dong" and "Lucifer," so you might notice they sound a little different than what you heard in the MVs for both of these songs. SHINee never performs a song the same way twice, so it's always a new experience no matter how many times you have seen or heard them perform the song. That's why SHINee concerts are considered one of the best concerts in the world.
SHINee live are always 300 times better than any of their studio recordings, and it's almost guaranteed that if someone doesn't vibe with one of their songs right away, the minute they see them perform it live, they gain a whole new appreciation for he song and it almost always becomes their new favorite. It's called the SHINee effect. That's why their live performances are considered the top in the industry.
What you just experienced is why, even as rookies, SHINee was so highly respected by everyone, including their seniors. Their live vocal ability while performing intense choreography was something no one else was doing at the time, and people were blown away by how perfect their singing and harmonies were. Even still today after more than 16 years in the industry, SHINee is the group that everyone looks up to and wants to be like.
Jonghyun is just... I really don't have the right words. The other Shinee members are amazingly talented and they've described Jjong as the Best Artist. That's what he is for me, too. He blows me away - and it's not just his incredible voice and his stage presence and emotion, it's everything he brought to the table. (For instance when he was writing the lyrics for View he took the other Shinee members vocal qualities and ways of pronouncing words into consideration so that each member would sound their best with their particular lines. That man, just amazing.)
Don't feel bad about confusing Onew's and Key's faces sometimes! They were the hardest for me to learn too, by appearance - there's something about the angle of their cheekbones that kept tripping me up when I first started exploring Shinee 3 years ago.
Since you really like Onew's voice you would love Please Don't Go, the Shinee World Concert 5 duet between Jonghyun and Onew.
I have so many recommendations for both Shinee and for Jonghyun, I would probably overwhelm you....
You are always welcome to leave recommendations. I always take a screenshot and I try to do most of them. Thank you so much! ❤️
@@lorydannagrI second the recommendation for Please Don’t Go! Amazingly beautiful duet between Jonghyun and Onew. Their voices complimented each other so well, as expected from SHINee members! ☺️
They are king of stage.
SHINee ❤todos cantan espectacular en sus conciertos son fuera de serie
I am so glad you are enjoying them. I always feel like they are so much better live haha. Their vocals really show then! I am glad you are trying to get into SHINee, they have a lot of wonderful years to explore!
Please know it's okay to miss Jonghyun, we all do. But there is also a lot of love in remembrance and he is always with us!
It’s hard…as i only now learnt about them, i am going now through the loss…Thank you so much for your comment and for validating what i feel. ❤️
@@lorydannagr It must be raw right now, meeting them and having to grieve as well. It gets easier, because as you are with them the more you see that they still remember him and love him every single time they are on stage! SHINee is always 5💙
I've been with them since 2008 and don't regret it at all. They are so kind and thoughtful and grown so much and I love their music and vocals so much.
When you are feeling up to it, and it won't make you sad, you should check out Jonghyun's live stages for Hallelujah and Crazy. They are my favourite from his first CD and a good place to start! Crazy also has an MV. He is always my bias and his vocals are something else.
I was recommended many of his stages and solos. But I will take my time, as for now when I see him I break. ❤️
Thank you for this reaction which falls on key's birthday and with the release of his 3 mini album. Lucifer holds a special place in my heart...it's the first k-pop song I listened to and that made me fall madly in love with Shinee 💎 also Lucifer was the first song with a dance practice video. Joghyun is mine bias so I completely understand how you feel when you think about him...he was born to be on stage, his energy, passion, voice is unique...when he was on stage he sang with his soul. Above all, Shinee should be seen live
Never apologize for Jonghyun being your favorite 🦖💚💚💚💚
shinee is powerhouse in vocals bc they're come from SM (known for quality vocals). at first Minho and Taemin were the ones with the least lines. Taemin debuted at the age of 14 as a main dancer, when his voice was just changing, sm didn't invest in training him and he did it on his own. jonghyun and onew helped him. In the end if you look closely with every release of shinee, taemin is the one who grew the most vocally in that group, he started to gain more lines to the point that all of jonghyun's vocal parts were given to taemin and today taemin is a vocal monster and performer of performers in the industry, which you will see if you keep reacting to him. but of course jonghyun was an insane vocalist from the beggining. next i recommend shinee - don't call me (2021). everybody (2013)
If have a crazy hair, it is key. Also he has a very distinguished scar on this eyebrown.
Linda ❤😢😊 me encanta tu reacción a shinee, esta vida no se merecia a Jonghyun
Tienen razon! 😭
I love SHINee. I became a Shawol before they started to enlist and they had their first comeback as 4 (forever 5). I became enamored by their strength and talents. Love their old and new discography just as much. SHINee is always a treat to watch truly legends that will shine forever.
also btw you said you wanted to find more music in your intro, I hope I can introduce you to other groups as well. I want to introduce you to the Kpop Beast Idol representatives.
2PM from the 2nd kpop gen and Monsta X from the 3rd Kpop gen. Called Beast idols for how they both debuted with stronger bolder "manly" Beastly concepts compared to what most call the "Flower Boy" concept.
so for recommendation:
2PM - Make It (it's their last cb. they havent been active as a group as of lately but are still busy acting, in solos, and other stuff)
Monsta X - Gambler
Thank you so much for the recommendations! ❤️❤️❤️
@@greywhale agree with Monsta X, they are really good and have very good songs (Jealousy, Shoot Out, Alligator, Someone’s Someone are my faves). They have the best rap duo ever. The other group I would recommend would be EXO, also a vocal powerhouse and great music and one of the best dancers in kpop and best friend of Taemin: KAI 😍
If you haven't heard Onew sing the opera Nessun Dorma, it's a must. My other favorite live song was this one....their voices blend so perfectly: ua-cam.com/video/5QgBAwCddrU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Day-K
Thank you so much! ❤️
The lyrics of this song talk about the difficulty of leaving a relationship with a manipulative woman, because of emotional dependence, *"Her whisper is the Lucifer",* since he is the "father of lies", the lyrics say that even she mistreating him, he can't keep her away, because she always finds a way to convince him to stay, this is something that a lot of people go through, unfortunately, and they've been talking about it for 14 years.
Omg! I love the song even more now. Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Jonghyun ❤️
Forever in here❤ love the reaction and the format❤
In the second live you watched Taemin wasn't there in the beginning because he had a solo stage right before while the other changes outfits, so he was singing the start of the song from Backstage while changing clothes and then quickly joined the rest on stage.
Oh, makes sense. Thank you! ❤️
@@lorydannagr my pleasure!
In SHINee's "Lucifer" MV the "smoke" or "light trail" we see is supposed to represent the aura of a girl who has devilish powers like Lucifer, who is trying to possess them and take over their lives. As the English lines in the song say, "Loveaholic, robotronic ... her whisper is the Lucifer." (They are using auto tune because they are supposed to be "robotronic"-ly controlled by the girl who is "The Lucifer." So the auto tune is meant to make them sound robotic.) In other words, the woman or girl they are talking about is so desirable that she is like Lucifer and you have to use all your willpower just to resist her wiles.
In the MV we see them trying to fight against Lucifer's powers and resist her attempts to try to make them bend to her will, etc. That's why in the choreography we see all the robotic moves because they are showing how "Lucifer" is trying to control them like a robot. For example, they put their wrists together like they are being handcuffed to show how she is trapping them, and they vibrate to show how they are being manipulated by "Lucifer" and they are trying to resist her powers, etc.
FYI: That vibration you saw them do is 100% them actually shaking like that, there aren't any camera tricks. As you saw in their "Lucifer" live, they do that exact same thing. :D When they explain to people how to do that move they say you have to "tense all your muscles and then pretend like you are being startled."
LOL we have no idea why they had to be dancing in front of a sports car, but that was kind of an iconic thing that Kpop companies did back then in a lot of their MVs. The group would dance around a fancy car to show off their coolness and to give the video a more futuristic, expensive looking aesthetic.
"Lucifer" was released in 2010 -- more than 14 years ago -- so this was just the look that a lot of MVs had back then, in part because everyone was following SHINee's lead. Just take a look at TVXQ's, Super Junior's, Infinite's or 2PM's MVs, etc. from around that time and you will see a similar look and style. SHINee was setting trends in the industry with "Lucifer."
I'm not sure why people are often so thrown by their hairstyles and outfits in this MV. :D I think they are actually all pretty cool for doing something different that sets them apart from everyone else in the industry. That is what makes SHINee legends and why "Lucifer" is such an iconic song and dance.You're not going to remember a group or a song if they look and sound the same as everyone else, you remember them for standing out and not being afraid to be unique.
SHINee are icons for everything they do including their fashion and hairstyles. They don't look like that because they didn't care, their hairstyles and clothing choices were chosen because they wanted to stand out. Everything SHINee does is trendsetting and because of their experimental concept, they are intentionally meant to do something that no one else is doing in order to create the next trend. Nothing SHINee ever does will be the same and they tackle a new genre of music, dance and fashion with EVERY song they release, including within a single album. They are the group that the rest of the industry pays attention to as a guide for what the next trends will be in the Kpop industry.
SHINee are also known for never being afraid to experiment with everything they do, including their style, and as the fashionista and literally a stylist for the group, Key is always looking for ways to be unique, so what we see is his hair was bleached blond on the side and then shaved down to his scalp. He is known for always wanting to stand out. That's why Key's style is often just straddling the edge of outrageous, but somehow always manages to look cool.
This was also the era where Taemin had long hair and it made him one of the most popular of the members at the time, especially with their Japanese fans. The Japanese culture really embraces men with long hair and the members said that he was one of the most popular at the time because of his style. Taemin with long hair is so iconic and many in the fandom were really sad when he eventually cut his hair. Taemin may not talk about loving or hating his hairstyles, but he has no problem laughing about their past looks. In the last few years he has learned to embrace his androgynous side and he often still wears hair extensions in his MVs and concerts, just check out his solo MV "Advice" or his blond hair during SHINee's "Hard," etc.
Fun fact: One reason why Minho has super short hair in "Lucifer" is because SHINee's comeback before this was for their song "Ring Ding Dong" and during that comeback everyone had long rocker hairstyles. Minho hated his long hair, but he was forced to live with it for several months because it was part of their promotions. (Minho says he hadn't cut his hair since debut, so in "Ring Ding Dong" era he had been growing his hair out for more than a year.) Therefore, I have a feeling, the minute he was finally able to cut his hair he decided to go really short for "lucifer", and he has refused to grow his hair out long ever since. ;P
In this MV, Taemin had just turned 17. Onew and Jonghyun are 20 and Key and Minho are 18.
"Lucifer" is actually known as one of the most difficult songs and dances to cover because of its tutting and popping and for the fact that it has a very fast paced beat with dance moves that are very sharp and precise, which are designed to hit every beat of the song. (They actually refer to that tutting formation as a bug or worm. Their arms are supposed to look like the legs of a creature.) And the song itself is very complicated with the songs wide range of notes and flow.
Many amateurs have thought "Lucifer" looks like one of SHINee's more simple songs and dances. But the minute they try to sing the song and/or dance the choreography, they soon discover that it is way more complicated than they thought. It only looks and sounds simple, because SHINee makes it look that way. Check out this clip of SHINee teaching a group of actors and comedians "Lucifer" as part of a challenge on the variety show "Invincible Baseball Team," ua-cam.com/video/-TLCK7KbLus/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/0V02cQwYLMQ/v-deo.html. It's funny because when they came to meet SHINee to start the practice, Jonghyun asked them why they chose this song of all songs, and they said because it looks manly and they thought it was fairly easy to cover. But the first thing Jonghyun said to them, while laughing, was "oh no, actually it's one of our most difficult and it took us extra time to really perfect it." :D
You should definitely check out the dance practice. SHINee's "Lucifer" dance practice video was the very first dance practice video ever in the Kpop industry to be released specifically for fans. They had never made a dance practice video that wasn't just for them to watch, so to SHINee this was just a dance practice, it wasn't a performance video like what you see in "dance practice" videos today. SHINee is the group that started the dance practice video trend, and they are why dance practice videos are even a thing today. :D
Actually it's not that crazy that you can recognize Onew's voice more than his face. That's what the SHINee members are known for. All their voices are so unique that most Shawols will tell you we can recognize who is singing or speaking at any moment without even having to see them. We can tell who is singing each line of a song within 1 second even when it's something we have never heard before. They are a group with 5 very distinct voices, that when combined, become the golden standard as a vocal group. There is no other group like SHINee.
I'm so happy you chose to watch a live with Jonghyun as well. Not hearing Jonghyun live, and especially in a song like "Lucifer," is a crime. He is the main vocalist and the voice of SHINee for a reason. (If you notice, in the more recent live with only 4 members, they still left Jonghyun's voice on the backing track during his parts in the song. Although the other members take over most of Jonghyun's parts in their songs when performing live, they often still make his voice part of the background because the song just isn't the same without him.)
Thank you for reacting to SHINee again. Can't wait to see more of them. These days are hard to see people bias my bias😊. People don't even dare to react to his solo songs anymore, so thank you🥹! If you want to react to their whole concert. Please inform me if you have like a full playlist of content of SHINee on your patreon. I will subscribe then😂, kinda in a budget and i only focus on 2nd and B.A.P of 3rd gen😊.
I will react to the solos too. It’s a bit hard now as I start crying when i see him and how amazing he is. With Patreon, I’m still on BTS. When I will start with SHINee I will let you know. 💜 And I get the budgeting 100% 🫣
Great reaction! If anyone in particular is helping you pick videos, 👍👍👍👍
Recommend you watch the dance practice for Lucifer. Although it wasn't the first ever, it was the one that jump started the trend of groups recording and posting them. Taemin's shirt is iconic.
Jonghyun's parts are always top tier difficult so it's difficult to cover them these days. It's truly amazing to watch how well the others do it, and a testament to how skilled they all are.
The RDD/Lucifer mash-up from SWC V is a must watch for those who want to see what top tier Kpop performances can be. Jonghyun went ALL OUT for the ENTIRE concert ... Please Don't Go, Farewell My Love, Romeo and Juliet, etc. And most of it is LIVE vocals. Worth a watch.
It is really hard as you dive into SHINee to not be upset every time you see how awesome Jonghyun is. Just have to focus to his legacy and how much he was able to share during his too short life. There are a few performances that are especially hard to watch (From Now On, Before Our Spring compilation, Shinin, and several others). But once you get through them, in the end it will only increase your appreciation for Jonghyun and SHINee.
I have a very amazing friend that made me a Shinee playlist. ❤️ I am still very new to them and Jonghyun’s voice amazes me so much and I am so sad that he will not amaze us anymore…. When I see him I always think of going to a SHINee concert and I will not able to see him… I’m just going through the loss stages all at once now. But I am happy he has an amazing legacy. ❤️
The recommendations this comment above are great songs to react to.@lorydannagr
I took a screenshot. I always keep in mind all the recommendations. ❤️ True fans always know better. 😍
There's still a lot of content for you to react to, but I hope you also react to the boys' solos, Taemin is the one who has the most years as a soloist, but they all have solo careers too, with albums, osts, music videos, shows and everything, and I really love everything that each of them has released .
Since Taemin started a while ago, it's normal for you to hear more about his solo career *(he debuted solo in 2014, Jonghyun in 2015, Key and Onew in 2018, and Minho in 2022)* but I hope you give a chance to the other members too, you won't regret it. ^^
*(Onew and Key had comebacks as soloists this month, I hope you watch)*
The only group which have impressed me more than Shinee is Queen.. for me is SHINee kpop‘s Queen. They are so talented and dedicated, all of them. This is why they are relevant after 16 years in the business.
this performance shows why they are the live kings.. live much much better than recorded.. they are eating CD‘s.. you are right..Jonghyun was a full blood musician and artist and had a big influence of Shinees music.. he wrote a lot of lyrics and songs, also for other groups like Exo..he had so much passion and heart.. still miss him so much.. he was and is the biggest gem in Kpop.. you should watch his „Y Si Fuera Ella“ performance.
I was recommended that song…but i need time. I break down when I see him…💜
@@lorydannagr well, I still got goosebumps and tears in my eyes but it’s ok. I still can’t watch „From now on“ and „our page“ without tears but it’s ok. This is the catharsis we Shawols need. Hearing and listening to him is the only way to show respect to this great artist. He did so well, our angel.
Jonghyun is my ULT Bias, and I miss his voice so much! 5HINee is always Five 💎💎💎💎💎
4:41 He is Key.
You're on the right path to differentiating *Key* from *Onew,* ✨ their voices✨, you guessed who was who in the video, they were very similar in the past, the boys themselves talked about it, they were especially similar from 2013 onwards, from then on it stays easier for you to differentiate them, so don't worry ^^
In the recent videos it’s pretty easy. I can easy recognise them, but in the older ones….pretty hard. But with time I will be better at it. I can recognise Onew’s voice. I love his voice. It has warmth. I cannot explain. ❤️
@@lorydannagr
He really has an unmistakable voice, he debuted as *Lead Vocal* , but people always considered that SHINee has *2 main vocalists, Onew and Jonghyun, IU* already said that he is her favorite voice, because his voice never changed, he only improved his techniques, but he always sang well, and if she were a man, she would want her voice to sound like his, he was in denial while listening to her say that 🥹
IU telling you this? I would be in denial too. 😍
@@lorydannagr SHINee guest starred on her show, IU's Palette. Also worth a watch.
The one you asked the name of is Onew. The one with the half shaved head is Key.
Thank you so much! ❤️
