I can’t hear this version of “Spring Day” without tears leaping out of my eyes. The rawness and urgency in their voices. I’ve watched this Tiny Desk at least 30 times at this point since it dropped, and that emotional response is the same each time. God, I’m so glad I found them when I did. There really is no one like them.
This version of Spring Day, in my opinion, really gives a deeper emotional response than the official Spotify version. I will always go for this video if I need a sad song for something haha. In all seriousness, though, this version is incredible, I agree :)
Wanna see another great performance of theirs. I recommend watching their “Make It Right” performance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It’s one of my favorite live performances they have done so far.
Stephen Thompson, Timy Desk producer said that donations went way up after this concert from ARMY thanking NPR. Listen to “Pop Culture Happy Hour” podcast on BTS, November 2020 after release of BE.
You know what is good about this tiny desk is , when I see new reactors watch it first they are in amazement of how well they sing live but in turn , turn around show it to their friends who also become fans just by watching this. The other thing at this is what I got from this when I first watched it is how distinct each individuals voices are yet when they sing together they blend extremely well without actually sounding the same. BTS are really only a few group I believe can do this. I find in many case when groups sing as a whole unit you can hear their different voices which is fine but its great to still be able to hear each member while still sounding like a blended unit if that makes sense. Im glad they didn't make each member change to sound similar if not the same as each other, otherwise to me they wouldn't be the same BTS I love. Everyone should watch this if they doubt anyone one of the members ability to sing. Thanks for the reaction.
I effing love them … I love when jungkook harmonizes with the rappers or ad libs for them…. And love me a hopekook harmony sesh… golden maknae and golden hyung really showing out !
I can never get enough of this tiny desk concert. I have seen this 30+ times and it hits me the same every time. They are truly amazing and I would be lost without them, thank you for another great reaction John! You are the best and I hope you have blessed day or night 💜💜
Sometimes it's so nice to see them performing in an intimate space without choreography. I can really appreciate how good they are singing together. And we should pay more attention to the ghost band.
Yes! I adore the choreo but without that you really get to focus on how talented they are as singers. Some of the guitar and bass work by the band was amazing!
Hi John! Glad you found this Tiny Desk performance of the boys! This performance was so impressive that I got hooked on watching their content and became an A.R.M.Y (mom)...I am 48 y.o. and A.R.M.Y. since August 2020.
I am 62 yrs old and I found them about 2 years ago as well. The pandemic was bad and I was struggling, working in healthcare. I stumbled on BTS and they just lifted me up. I've never looked back and I'm proud to be ARMY!
Thanks John for your genuine reaction. I love this TDC because it’s no frills,like you said, and it really highlights their natural talents. I wish they would do more like these. Btw, their outfits are from the Dynamite era (disco pop). They had not done this concept before. Usually Army can tell an era by what they wear during their concerts and promotions.
This was amazing. The band just SLAUGHTERED that, especially the guitar, bass and drums. They sounded wonderful, and I'm so amused at how the dancers especially couldn't stay seated. "Spring Day" is hard to hear - always brings tears - but in that context, it was perfect.
I have watched this perfomance SO MANY times...and everytime I am amazed how freaking good it is. The amount of talent these 7 men have is crazy!! After so many years I still can't listen to Spring Day without crying. As soon as Hobi starts singing, tears come running out. I am still waiting for the day that Hobi will officially be added to the vocal line. Also a big thumbs up for the band!!
I love this performance! I couldn’t even tell you how many times I’ve seen it but I never get tired of it. Fun fact…when J-Hope & Jungkook harmonize in Save Me they don’t usually do that. J-Hope asked JK to harmonize with him (it’s in a behind the scenes video) when they were sitting there on stage.
Their voices in this song is just *chef’s kiss* The vocalists really stand out in Thai video. Every single aspect of this is just so beautifully put together into an amazing performance. It was such a comfort when it came out, so thank you BTS for healing us in the difficult times we have and for showing us how to love ourselves 💜
I didn't know the second two songs when i first watched this, and the vocals that stood out most to me/gave me chills, were hobis parts!! He sounds sooo smooth, especially when he harmonises with jk in save me and spring day 😭😭 ethereal
This is one of my favourite performance from them, they are so good live. I'm so hooked to this I replayed it countless of times already, I made it part of my playlist😂
Dude, I have no idea why you aren’t getting way more subscribers! All I can suggest is you change your avatar just for the Kpop songs. Put your face up there. As my mum would say, it’s a beautiful face, show it lol! People will relate to it. What do others think?
I can't believe I'm actually watching a video you posted the same day! I discovered you when you interviewed WYG2S and have been busy binging your videos. I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your genuine reactions, musical insights as a musician yourself, as well as thoughtful and provoking insights into the lyrics. This is an amazing community you've created with the ARMY Bots (adorable name), and hopefully I can catch one of your Lives someday. What you and Taylor said about ARMY finding their community when they're surrounded by other ARMYs is so true. People at work ridicule me, a 39 yo, for being into a "boy band," especially a South Korean one, and when I try to explain why, they blow me off. It gets disheartening and lonely a lot of times, but seeing how much love is within the fandom is really comforting, even if all I'm doing is reading through the comments. Thank you and thank you ARMY!
You have a friend in ARMY! Never forget that. No one understands me either (I'm 62 yrs old) but I find that every once in a while, I run across ARMY somewhere. When I bought a new computer keyboard, I got one that lights different colors. I said to the sales girl that I would probably keep it on purple for BTS. She said, "omg, are you army?!". We talked for about 5 more minutes, about our favorite videos, Run BTS, etc. Keep you chin up, your heart open and remember you are appreciated!
The version of Spring Day they performed is called “Spring Day (Brit Rock Ver.)” I think it was for one of the Festas and was also featured in their documentary, “Break the Stage” IIRC. Bummer that there’s no official release of the song on streaming services
Ahhh I love this reaction John! 😭 I can feel that you can't contain that excitement as soon as the vid begins! This is my most fave out of all their pandemic live performances, along with the FESTA room live and Dear Class too. These showcased how much of a great vocalists and performers they are! 💜 Thanks for this John, looking forward to more reactions to their live vids!! Borahaeee 💜💕
Another amazing performance. Their voices are so clear and beautiful. The band just crushed it. I love how they just can’t sit still even while sitting down. I can’t pick a favourite but like you, Spring Day brings me to tears every time, especially since this was their way of comforting us during the pandemic. The fashion is definitely from Dynamite. I rocked a similar suit that Hobi’s wearing with high platform shoes in 1973/74. I looked like a flaming Pumpkin 🎃 I think, lol 😂. Ah to be 17 again. Great reaction John. 🙏💜🇨🇦
Thank you for this reaction. I appreciated your pointing out some of the highlights from the band. That increased my enjoyment of this wonderful performance even more. 💜
Omg this was so cute, they had me dancing and sing along to the three songs, the choice of songs sent e from being happy to sad and i went in a roller coaster of emotions. DynAMIte had me singing and dancing along and i so wanted to be that vinyl record so badly. Save Me had me in my feelings as i was smiling along, swaying and also Jimin, Tae and Jungkook dancing along to the chorus had me laughing so much. Spring Day i had a tear in my eye thru that song and the vocals during it had me in my feelings so badly. And dont get me started on their clothes, i mean Jiminie OMG i was just speechless and on a side note every members english has improved so much im just in love with it, also i love it when they perform with a live band as it just gives off another kind of vibe and its the best when they perform with a live band.
If you want to have a quick listen to the progression of their discography, look for their 2021 FESTA clip on BTS Room Live. You will be amazed of their genius and versatility. 💜
They have so many wonderful MVs that some of them get pushed to the side...such as LIGHTS and STAY GOLD and HOME . All three of these have positive uplifting vibes and are worth your time and consideration!!!
They are all on the schedule. John has 9 years worth of content to catch up on all while going about his "real world" responsibilities so it is going to take time to get to them, but I promise I haven't forgotten about these gems.
I'm glad you waited until now to listen to this! It hits so much more when you know :the studio version, who is singing, the humble and genuin , loveable persons they are! I always feel a little bitter sweet listening to this, because it reminds me that around me nobody understands what BTS really is about and what they mean to ARMY!! 💜
This tiny desk concert aired about a month after Dynamite was released. Maybe a little less than that. This was September, and Dynamite was released August 21, 2020 (I remember cause it was my daughter’s birthday). So it was in the midst of the pandemic, and everything had to be done remotely. BTS was just trying to keep their spirits up by keeping ARMY’s spirits up, and they were using the song dynamite to do it. So there was a lot of disco themed stuff for a couple of months until the BE album was released in November.
I so happy you came on with this tiny desk concert today .. before this I saw small clips of it but never the entire thing .. hey those guys are dancers, they can't stay put for too long .. those 3 songs were perfect picks for the time it was done, I really really enjoyed it, listening to their raw voices were spectacular .. anyone who is still doubting BTS talents should see this .. John they got me just like they did you there is always tears after Spring Day👍🥰🥰💜💜 loved the reaction 👍👍🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜💜
finally!!!!! i've watched BTS tiny concert over 100 times but never tired of vedio. eventhough always i feel defferently to me and i get something good enery from them i love it. i hope you feel too. and i really love your reactions 💜
I love this performance from them and it was definitely one of the videos that got me hooked to BTS. This was also the video that introduced me to Spring Day 💜💜💜
Hi John, I always come back to this mv when I Miss BTS. Missing their beautiful voices, smiles, their dance moves, everything. I come back to tiny desk concert to see them. Spring Day gets to me just like it did to you. Emotions build up, as well as for Save Me. 🥺💜 John thank you for your Reactions. Keep up the great work! 👍💜
Dear class of 2020 is another one to watch. They each speak (commencements) & perform. MTV unplugged which includes 4 songs I believe -Fix You which you already reacted to. 2021 Festa BTS Room Live. Permission to Dance at the UN is fun. A Butterfly Getaway & Jimmy Fallon/Tonight Show October 2020 where they had a different song each night. These are one of a kind performances from them.
man I can't get over ur made up line for jin "oh yeah! hold my beer!" hahaha I definitely can imagine him saying it and acing those high notes and then rapping the fastest rap verse ever when he's angry (or repremanding his younger bts bros)or when he's so hyped... as always have a great time with ur videos hope one day I can catch up on some of ur lives too 💜💜💜
Thank you for not only appreciating BTS but also the musicians in the background. I absolutely love your reactions to BTS and I also hope that they will do more performances like this.
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. So glad you liked this one. The clothing is Disco for Dynamite. Dynamite is a disco pop song. it's modern but has some old style in there. They gave the song( Dynamite) to us to give us positive energy during the pandemic and we felt it! Army and other ppl felt it. I have watched so many reactions. It's a beautiful thing to see smiles on ppl's faces and their confusion why they feel happy. =0p About Dynamite they literally decided to do this song on a whim in the middle of the pandemic because they wanted to cheer people up in such hard times! ^^ They're very hardworking, and have spent their careers writing songs about all kinds of things, like all kinds of different kinds of love (they are very adamant about promoting self love) , heartbreak, societal issues, mental health, following your dreams, helping others, and just a lot of cool stuff that's important to them, and things a lot of people are afraid to touch on, that they will dive head first into. They're also all very down to earth, and very funny. ^^ BTS got this song from 2 USA writers who have written for the Jonas brothers. The song, written by David Stewart and Jessica Agombar and produced by Stewart, is an upbeat disco-pop song with elements of funk, soul, and bubblegum pop, and takes influence from 1970s music-it features snapping handclaps, echoing synths, and celebratory horns. They thought the song would fit BTS. BTS liked the song. They tried making it Korean but they liked the Eng version better so they left it as is. No one expected it to blow up. BTS was not trying to win America. They just wanted to comfort army! Love Save Me. It's an old song of theirs and this was a real treat because many Army heard it for the very 1st time. This was a different version to the original. =0] Pls watch Class of 2020. This song and 2 others are performed. It's so beautiful. Save me is a special song. It echo's for me the time I was battling cancer. I told everyone I was fine but inside I was praying to be saved. I wished so much so hard to live. I love this song so so much!!! Also, the partner song to it is I'm Fine. There is a live were u see them both back to back its just wonderful. The choreo is lovely too for both of them. Spring Day is both melancholy and hopeful. I love it too. Since its release it has never left the charts. We call it the Queen! =0] FYI JHope is a sub vocal. He has a lovely voice. JK is a sub rapper. He is dang fast when he wants to be. 0.0 My 1st time hearing Spring Day was on Class of 2020. They did 3 performances. I loved both 2 new songs on 1st listen. It took me a month or more to actually watch the MV lol. Than I watched the explanation and was shoock. Later I watched the 2nd explanation by Italian Army and dang. All the members are actually not fluent in Eng. I bet they practiced hard for this. RM is the only one fluent. JK is the 2nd best at Eng because he is learning it and does a lot of covers. The rest improved but they still have a ways to go, lol. I always have a good time listening to this. JK is the main singer for a reason he steady af! JK can harmonize with any member perfectly. He so cool. Jimin sounded like an angel! They all killed it. Dynamite was given to Army during pandemic to give us energy, Save Me they gave to us because we are all struggling and need to be saved and they acknowledge this with this song, UwU, and Spring Day gives us hope but also lets us know that we lost ppl at this time and we some of us are still in shock and grieving. Perfect song selection! I expected nothing less from them. Kings! This is why we have Tiny Desk Concert Army! When I watched this live I cried. They touched my heart with their caring. They missed us so much and we them. I hope they do another Tiny Desk i think that's a goal. Save me was new for me when i watched this the 1st time. After i checked out the MV love it and it resonates. hugs. -2019 Army NY USA💜 #YouAreEnough Have a good week!
Something I also love about this Video might be a bit random, but as a korean learner, I really appreciate the subtitles. Finally mixed subtitles! Only official channel where I've seen that so far.
I don't know why I was surprised you were an Avett Brothers fan, you have good tastes! Tiny Desk and Festa Room Live (2021) are some of my fave performances by them because they get so into it. You should check out some Stray Kids! (Back Door, Thunderous, Miroh, God's Menu)
A lovely, genuine reaction- as always. Yes, this was recorded during the pandemic and they all have their Dynamite mv hair. I hadn't thought about their choice of songs for TDC before even though I have watched it multiple times. But you are absolutely right these three songs have a special meaning for Army during the pandemic: Dynamite- keep your spirits up, Save Me- you are always there for us and Spring Day- I miss you. So special.💜
What an amazing "tiny concert". Yeah, Spring Day made me cry as usual. I just love it. They all sound amazing in their way; each member has their own unique voice and it is so satisfying to be able to hear all that. Jin's falsetto...blows me away. I also have just always loved the lyrics to their songs as well. Thanks for checking this out!
I have always loved "Spring Day" and "Dynamite" is always a crowd pleaser but this was the performance that made me a fan of "Save Me". Prior to hearing on "Tiny Desk" I had just been rather blasé about the song itself but once I heard this rendition of it, it completely transformed how I saw this song! Thanks for the reaction once again! I can't wait for the next one! 💜💜
Love BTS Tiny Desk so much! I saw this video when it first came out, and we were still in lockdown at that time, and I remember how just seeing them and hearing them sing brought so much joy during such a hard time. Also, I can never watch a performance of Spring Day without tears either. And I agree with you, the band rocks, the guys crush it with their vocals and their charming personalities shine through it all. Love your reaction as always 💜
I've been following you for a while now and really enjoy all of your BTS reactions. This is one of my absolute favorites and I get as excited as you do for the songs that they chose. I don't have anyone in my daily life that enjoys BTS like I do and I really appreciate having you on UA-cam to watch. Makes me feel a little less alone in my Army journey
Love this concert!! This rendition of Save Me may be my favorite. And I highly recommend watching their cover of Coldplay’s Fix You. Hearing Suga and RM sing blows me away every time.
There is always choreography even when there isn't. There are a couple of members that this is more true for, but they all seem to have a hard time sitting still when there is music playing.
Hi John! 😊 I was sure you'd love Tiny Desk! I couldn't wait for you to watch it 💜 To me, this version of Spring Day is actually the one that healed my smashed heart after the MV and the symbolism linked to it... Hope you have a great day, you deserve it! 💜
Hi John!! 👋🏼💜 Hard to pick a favorite during this performance; they're all perfect for what they are. Looking forward to your eventual reactions to "Crystal Snow" and "Come Back Home", just to see your response to Jin's high notes in those. Lol. Also, really looking forward to eventual "Am I Wrong" and "Anpanman". I love both songs, and the lyrics for both have a lot of meaning behind them. Great video as always. Love your genuine reaction to them, and their music. 🎶💜
The dancers always struggle to sit still I think, hence Jimin and JHope up. Also V. I think JK would have been the same ordinarily but didn’t maybe because he is generally quite central to a lot of songs and this is one take so needed to focus. It’s a wonderful sample of their vibe and capabilities. So glad you finally got to watch it. Is it time yet for Coldplay xBTS? 👌 Oh but wait have you gone back to early days with “N.O” or “Dope”?
What you said about those "imperfections" in the beginning...I've said it once and I'll say it again... Those PERCEIVED imperfections are what MAKE us perfect! That voice crack when singing? Someone thinks it's cute. That mole you hate? Someone loves it. That misstep in the choreo? Someone thought it was adorable. That scar on your face from hockey? You are someone's hero for playing. As humans we are perfectly imperfect...and I love it! I wasn't made in a factory. I don't want to look like a damn Barbie doll. I am...ME. Also - at 3:53 - ish? YEEESSS!!!! That is always my thought every time I watch it. BigHit: "Hey, let's do this show where you just sit and chill." BTS: "We're gonna...sing?" BigHit: "Yeah." BTS: "...sitting down?" BigHit: "Yep!" BTS: "Okay!" *whispers to each other* "Like hell we are..." This is what happens when you train 7 guys in dance, then - 10 years later - try to make them sit still to perform...LOL
I so love BTS... Spring Day makes me just bawl like a baby... I agree with you, John. They need to do more Tiny Desk Concerts. Dynamite took me back to my era of music... growing up listening to disco (and yeah telling on myself (age..)(LOL) . I love how diverse they are in all kinds of music and thrilled that they are incorporating English into their songs. Amazing young men. Will ALWAYS be BTS ARMY forever... 💜 ~ T ~
heya.. I know how wholesome and emotional this tiny concert is... gives all the feels.. hahaha you can see who's introverts n who's extroverts in the group.. you know the extros are on the floor in an instant,, awesome.. pls check out bts festa swell.. it's more lively and just them doing goofy stuff yet mentaining their polished performance... as always,, love love ur reactions! well done John.. til the next reaction!
AMAZING AS ALWAYS 💜💜have you seen the video of Armys singing Young Forever to BTS, I believe it was at Wimberley Stadium it was a surprise from Armys 💜also another one that makes me cry every time. 💜💜💜💜🤟🇺🇸💜💜💜
I can’t hear this version of “Spring Day” without tears leaping out of my eyes. The rawness and urgency in their voices. I’ve watched this Tiny Desk at least 30 times at this point since it dropped, and that emotional response is the same each time. God, I’m so glad I found them when I did. There really is no one like them.
BTS is a once in a lifetime act; They are true legends. The best artist in my lifetime. NO ONE could replicate BTS. And I am a 49 years old ARMY.
glad it’s not just me 💜
This version of Spring Day, in my opinion, really gives a deeper emotional response than the official Spotify version. I will always go for this video if I need a sad song for something haha. In all seriousness, though, this version is incredible, I agree :)
J-Hope amazes me with his vocal versatility. He can sing soft and now we know he can rock 🤘🏼👿🤘🏼 out as well as rap. Hobi is a triple threat!
just like jimin his voice can be very sweet, and growl when the time is right
J-Hope is the golden maknae of the Hyung line. 🥰
J Hope is probably my fave, if I have any. I watched his Lollapalooza performance online and it blew me away!!! Definition of talent!
Who could resist our Sunshine Hobi? His laughter is the best medicine!
Remember how He slayed Scar and Priscilla Voice Dub..😏😏😏
vocal king Jin 💜💜💜
Wanna see another great performance of theirs. I recommend watching their “Make It Right” performance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It’s one of my favorite live performances they have done so far.
Suga said "I will jam but I ain't getting up for nothing" lol
love Jhope and Jk harmonies
loved Jimin backing Suga's rap
love Jin's breathy vocals

Jin's powerful and angelic and honey voice 🌸

Its so amazing to hear them sing in unision. They each know when to sing their part.

Hobi's singing voice is beautiful. My bias is the golden hyung for a reason!
You should react to "bts room live 2021bts festa" is a amazing live, and have variety of songs
This is one of my favourite performance from them, they are so good live. I'm so hooked to this I replayed it countless of times already, I made it part of my playlist😂

Oh! And my fave song was Save Me. It holds a special place in my heart as one of the first songs I heard from them, and one that I need in my life
Girl, within our ARMY community, you'd NEVER walk alone!!!!!
@@worldwidekookie394 Thank you! I purple you! 💜
@@mickeygirlf07 I PURPLE YOU RIGHT BACK!

Our Dancer Leader will never disappoint 😁 he's always the first to stand up and dance. 🥰

Omg this was so cute, they had me dancing and sing along to the three songs, the choice of songs sent e from being happy to sad and i went in a roller coaster of emotions.
DynAMIte had me singing and dancing along and i so wanted to be that vinyl record so badly.
Save Me had me in my feelings as i was smiling along, swaying and also Jimin, Tae and Jungkook dancing along to the chorus had me laughing so much.
Spring Day i had a tear in my eye thru that song and the vocals during it had me in my feelings so badly.
And dont get me started on their clothes, i mean Jiminie OMG i was just speechless and on a side note every members english has improved so much im just in love with it, also i love it when they perform with a live band as it just gives off another kind of vibe and its the best when they perform with a live band.
If you want to have a quick listen to the progression of their discography, look for their 2021 FESTA clip on BTS Room Live. You will be amazed of their genius and versatility. 💜
My favorite…. That solidified my obsession with BTS.. started with dynamite, so u know I started knowing about them 2020!! Better late than never🥰
Thanks for reacting to the Tiny Desk Concert. It is one of my very favorite BTS performances on UA-cam.
Love Love Love this mini concert will never get tired of it 💜🖤💜🖤💜
They have so many wonderful MVs that some of them get pushed to the side...such as LIGHTS and STAY GOLD and HOME . All three of these have positive uplifting vibes and are worth your time and consideration!!!
They are all on the schedule. John has 9 years worth of content to catch up on all while going about his "real world" responsibilities so it is going to take time to get to them, but I promise I haven't forgotten about these gems.
I'm glad you waited until now to listen to this!
It hits so much more when you know :the studio version,
who is singing,
the humble and genuin , loveable persons they are!
I always feel a little bitter sweet listening to this, because it reminds me that around me nobody understands what BTS really is about and what they mean to ARMY!! 💜
The disco fashion was for Dynamite so they wore it for this too.
All of them have different voice beautiful and soothing.. to hear them ..
Please react to Make it right💜
One of my favorite BTS performances. Definitely wish it was longer. Love the intimacy of it.
Jimin's beautiful voice
This tiny desk concert aired about a month after Dynamite was released. Maybe a little less than that. This was September, and Dynamite was released August 21, 2020 (I remember cause it was my daughter’s birthday). So it was in the midst of the pandemic, and everything had to be done remotely. BTS was just trying to keep their spirits up by keeping ARMY’s spirits up, and they were using the song dynamite to do it. So there was a lot of disco themed stuff for a couple of months until the BE album was released in November.
I so happy you came on with this tiny desk concert today .. before this I saw small clips of it but never the entire thing .. hey those guys are dancers, they can't stay put for too long .. those 3 songs were perfect picks for the time it was done, I really really enjoyed it, listening to their raw voices were spectacular .. anyone who is still doubting BTS talents should see this .. John they got me just like they did you there is always tears after Spring Day👍🥰🥰💜💜 loved the reaction 👍👍🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜💜
I loved your reaction, it was basically the same as mine. Spring Day always gets me! 💜
finally!!!!! i've watched BTS tiny concert over 100 times but never tired of vedio. eventhough always i feel defferently to me and i get something good enery from them i love it. i hope you feel too. and i really love your reactions 💜
I love your reactions and I love Jungkook and Jhope part on "Save Me".
I love this performance from them and it was definitely one of the videos that got me hooked to BTS. This was also the video that introduced me to Spring Day 💜💜💜
Yes ghost band is perfect here! With our perfect bangtan boys
Beautiful and moving performance and the live band just was so good. Spring day after the summer of 2020 was intense.
Such great reaction💜
Beautiful voice of BTS💜
Hoping for your reaction to BTS ARMYPEDIA talk show 💜💜💜
Hi John, I always come back to this mv when I Miss BTS. Missing their beautiful voices, smiles, their dance moves, everything. I come back to tiny desk concert to see them. Spring Day gets to me just like it did to you. Emotions build up, as well as for Save Me. 🥺💜
John thank you for your Reactions. Keep up the great work! 👍💜
Dear class of 2020 is another one to watch. They each speak (commencements) & perform. MTV unplugged which includes 4 songs I believe -Fix You which you already reacted to. 2021 Festa BTS Room Live. Permission to Dance at the UN is fun. A Butterfly Getaway & Jimmy Fallon/Tonight Show October 2020 where they had a different song each night. These are one of a kind performances from them.
man I can't get over ur made up line for jin "oh yeah! hold my beer!" hahaha I definitely can imagine him saying it and acing those high notes and then rapping the fastest rap verse ever when he's angry (or repremanding his younger bts bros)or when he's so hyped... as always have a great time with ur videos hope one day I can catch up on some of ur lives too 💜💜💜
Thank you for not only appreciating BTS but also the musicians in the background. I absolutely love your reactions to BTS and I also hope that they will do more performances like this.
I saw this in April 2022 this year and it was the first time I'd heard spring day, blew me away
Yep, best performance of Spring Day EVER!!!! 💜💜
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. So glad you liked this one. The clothing is Disco for Dynamite. Dynamite is a disco pop song. it's modern but has some old style in there. They gave the song( Dynamite) to us to give us positive energy during the pandemic and we felt it! Army and other ppl felt it. I have watched so many reactions. It's a beautiful thing to see smiles on ppl's faces and their confusion why they feel happy. =0p About Dynamite they literally decided to do this song on a whim in the middle of the pandemic because they wanted to cheer people up in such hard times! ^^ They're very hardworking, and have spent their careers writing songs about all kinds of things, like all kinds of different kinds of love (they are very adamant about promoting self love) , heartbreak, societal issues, mental health, following your dreams, helping others, and just a lot of cool stuff that's important to them, and things a lot of people are afraid to touch on, that they will dive head first into. They're also all very down to earth, and very funny. ^^ BTS got this song from 2 USA writers who have written for the Jonas brothers. The song, written by David Stewart and Jessica Agombar and produced by Stewart, is an upbeat disco-pop song with elements of funk, soul, and bubblegum pop, and takes influence from 1970s music-it features snapping handclaps, echoing synths, and celebratory horns. They thought the song would fit BTS. BTS liked the song. They tried making it Korean but they liked the Eng version better so they left it as is. No one expected it to blow up. BTS was not trying to win America. They just wanted to comfort army!
Love Save Me. It's an old song of theirs and this was a real treat because many Army heard it for the very 1st time. This was a different version to the original. =0] Pls watch Class of 2020. This song and 2 others are performed. It's so beautiful. Save me is a special song. It echo's for me the time I was battling cancer. I told everyone I was fine but inside I was praying to be saved. I wished so much so hard to live. I love this song so so much!!! Also, the partner song to it is I'm Fine. There is a live were u see them both back to back its just wonderful. The choreo is lovely too for both of them. Spring Day is both melancholy and hopeful. I love it too. Since its release it has never left the charts. We call it the Queen! =0] FYI JHope is a sub vocal. He has a lovely voice. JK is a sub rapper. He is dang fast when he wants to be. 0.0 My 1st time hearing Spring Day was on Class of 2020. They did 3 performances. I loved both 2 new songs on 1st listen. It took me a month or more to actually watch the MV lol. Than I watched the explanation and was shoock. Later I watched the 2nd explanation by Italian Army and dang. All the members are actually not fluent in Eng. I bet they practiced hard for this. RM is the only one fluent. JK is the 2nd best at Eng because he is learning it and does a lot of covers. The rest improved but they still have a ways to go, lol. I always have a good time listening to this. JK is the main singer for a reason he steady af! JK can harmonize with any member perfectly. He so cool. Jimin sounded like an angel! They all killed it. Dynamite was given to Army during pandemic to give us energy, Save Me they gave to us because we are all struggling and need to be saved and they acknowledge this with this song, UwU, and Spring Day gives us hope but also lets us know that we lost ppl at this time and we some of us are still in shock and grieving. Perfect song selection! I expected nothing less from them. Kings! This is why we have Tiny Desk Concert Army! When I watched this live I cried. They touched my heart with their caring. They missed us so much and we them. I hope they do another Tiny Desk i think that's a goal. Save me was new for me when i watched this the 1st time. After i checked out the MV love it and it resonates. hugs. -2019 Army NY USA💜
#YouAreEnough Have a good week!
This was my first ever BTS experience. Dynamite got my attention and Save Me sealed the deal.
So Beautiful (crying) 😭😭💕💜💜
Something I also love about this Video might be a bit random, but as a korean learner, I really appreciate the subtitles. Finally mixed subtitles! Only official channel where I've seen that so far.
I don't know why I was surprised you were an Avett Brothers fan, you have good tastes! Tiny Desk and Festa Room Live (2021) are some of my fave performances by them because they get so into it. You should check out some Stray Kids! (Back Door, Thunderous, Miroh, God's Menu)
A lovely, genuine reaction- as always. Yes, this was recorded during the pandemic and they all have their Dynamite mv hair. I hadn't thought about their choice of songs for TDC before even though I have watched it multiple times. But you are absolutely right these three songs have a special meaning for Army during the pandemic: Dynamite- keep your spirits up, Save Me- you are always there for us and Spring Day- I miss you. So special.💜
i still get emotional whenever i hear Spring Day 😭
What an amazing "tiny concert". Yeah, Spring Day made me cry as usual. I just love it. They all sound amazing in their way; each member has their own unique voice and it is so satisfying to be able to hear all that. Jin's falsetto...blows me away. I also have just always loved the lyrics to their songs as well. Thanks for checking this out!
I have always loved "Spring Day" and "Dynamite" is always a crowd pleaser but this was the performance that made me a fan of "Save Me". Prior to hearing on "Tiny Desk" I had just been rather blasé about the song itself but once I heard this rendition of it, it completely transformed how I saw this song! Thanks for the reaction once again! I can't wait for the next one! 💜💜
Jimin's voice 🛐
Love BTS Tiny Desk so much! I saw this video when it first came out, and we were still in lockdown at that time, and I remember how just seeing them and hearing them sing brought so much joy during such a hard time. Also, I can never watch a performance of Spring Day without tears either. And I agree with you, the band rocks, the guys crush it with their vocals and their charming personalities shine through it all. Love your reaction as always 💜
I've been following you for a while now and really enjoy all of your BTS reactions. This is one of my absolute favorites and I get as excited as you do for the songs that they chose. I don't have anyone in my daily life that enjoys BTS like I do and I really appreciate having you on UA-cam to watch. Makes me feel a little less alone in my Army journey
This was a beautiful reaction! Thank u for reacting to BTS!!
Love this concert!! This rendition of Save Me may be my favorite. And I highly recommend watching their cover of Coldplay’s Fix You. Hearing Suga and RM sing blows me away every time.
Ahhhh that Spring Day ....!!!! Start to 😭😭😭😭
i hope you could react also to Armypedia...thanks.
There is always choreography even when there isn't. There are a couple of members that this is more true for, but they all seem to have a hard time sitting still when there is music playing.
one of my fave BTS performances!
Hi from indonesia again john. This is one of my fave performance . These young men nailed it 💜💜
Their Proof Live was soo good, check it out. I loved it, listened to those performances so many times...
I know this is too much, but I wish we can have Jhope's Jack In The Box at Tiny Desk too! 😛✌️
ARMYPEDIA is good too. Cant wait your next reaction 💜
Hi John! 😊
I was sure you'd love Tiny Desk! I couldn't wait for you to watch it 💜
To me, this version of Spring Day is actually the one that healed my smashed heart after the MV and the symbolism linked to it...
Hope you have a great day, you deserve it! 💜
Suga wasn't feeling well during this.after he went into surgery for his shoulder
Hi John!! 👋🏼💜
Hard to pick a favorite during this performance; they're all perfect for what they are.
Looking forward to your eventual reactions to "Crystal Snow" and "Come Back Home", just to see your response to Jin's high notes in those. Lol.
Also, really looking forward to eventual "Am I Wrong" and "Anpanman". I love both songs, and the lyrics for both have a lot of meaning behind them.
Great video as always. Love your genuine reaction to them, and their music. 🎶💜
The dancers always struggle to sit still I think, hence Jimin and JHope up. Also V. I think JK would have been the same ordinarily but didn’t maybe because he is generally quite central to a lot of songs and this is one take so needed to focus.
It’s a wonderful sample of their vibe and capabilities. So glad you finally got to watch it.
Is it time yet for Coldplay xBTS? 👌 Oh but wait have you gone back to early days with “N.O” or “Dope”?
One of the most beautiful performance of BTS, thank you for this
Yes!!!! I've been SCREAMING for this reaction since I found your channel. So excited!!
if you like smaller/lowkey performances i would 100% recommend their ARMYPEDIA video! it's one of my favs!
What you said about those "imperfections" in the beginning...I've said it once and I'll say it again...
Those PERCEIVED imperfections are what MAKE us perfect!
That voice crack when singing? Someone thinks it's cute.
That mole you hate? Someone loves it.
That misstep in the choreo? Someone thought it was adorable.
That scar on your face from hockey? You are someone's hero for playing.
As humans we are perfectly imperfect...and I love it!
I wasn't made in a factory. I don't want to look like a damn Barbie doll. I am...ME.
Also - at 3:53 - ish? YEEESSS!!!! That is always my thought every time I watch it.
BigHit: "Hey, let's do this show where you just sit and chill."
BTS: "We're gonna...sing?"
BigHit: "Yeah."
BTS: "...sitting down?"
BigHit: "Yep!"
BTS: "Okay!" *whispers to each other* "Like hell we are..."
This is what happens when you train 7 guys in dance, then - 10 years later - try to make them sit still to perform...LOL
I so love BTS... Spring Day makes me just bawl like a baby... I agree with you, John. They need to do more Tiny Desk Concerts. Dynamite took me back to my era of music... growing up listening to disco (and yeah telling on myself (age..)(LOL) . I love how diverse they are in all kinds of music and thrilled that they are incorporating English into their songs. Amazing young men. Will ALWAYS be BTS ARMY forever... 💜 ~ T ~
I'm so glad you checked this out. It's one of my fave lives from them. I knew you'd enjoy it.
You did an excellent job holding up through Spring Day. This is a great performance.💜💜💜
heya.. I know how wholesome and emotional this tiny concert is... gives all the feels.. hahaha you can see who's introverts n who's extroverts in the group.. you know the extros are on the floor in an instant,, awesome.. pls check out bts festa swell.. it's more lively and just them doing goofy stuff yet mentaining their polished performance... as always,, love love ur reactions! well done John.. til the next reaction!
I love how RM says Dear Army....
Hi John!!! Glad you finally got to this! Glad you enjoyed it 💜💜💜OT7💜💜💜💜🤠👍
Thanks ♥️
i really appreaciate performance with live bands.. they're truly bringing out unique perfomances
My favorite songs were Dynamite and Spring Day though I love all 3, I think those 2 are the opposite of one another
AMAZING AS ALWAYS 💜💜have you seen the video of Armys singing Young Forever to BTS, I believe it was at Wimberley Stadium it was a surprise from Armys 💜also another one that makes me cry every time. 💜💜💜💜🤟🇺🇸💜💜💜
