Which version did you guys like more?
Reaction starts at 0:19 ♥
I do agree with you about it not hitting as hard as the original. There's just something about the original that is mesmerizing, especially with the visuals. But I do still think this alternate version is amazing and beautiful too
After watching this version of "All eyes on me" a second time (through your reaction) I got the sense that the green or demon-looking version of him was a visual manifestation of his anxiety, the inner part, and the left was bo and him on the outside. idk, just came to mind as I was watching. no idea if the song represents the anxiety he deals with, but i definitely feel like this green, creepy, demonic-looking version represents something like that.
The original was pure perfection especially for its place in the special. This version slaps a bit harder as a jam. It’s a totally different concept. He’s dueting with himself. Really neat
I love the originals on everything. Which just goes to show what a phenomenal job he did editing and choosing versions to make it to the special. I did enjoy pieces of this version of All Eyes On Me, but you are right when you said it just doesn't hit the same way.
I didn't even notice younger Bo in the last frame. wtf, good eyes.
Pretty haunting given the context.
“am i right back where i started 14 years ago”
The fire part is also a call back to his greatest song ever "A World on Fire"
masterpiece
I still cackle when I hear A World on Fire, but the scene in here legit scares me.
I think the green version of Bo in the alt version was the person he is on the inside during a performance. If you watch, his hand is shaking on the microphone and, for the most part, he delivers the impactful lines from the final version. But even at the end, he gives into the pressure like the "stage" version that's in the spotlight and asks for people to look at him as well.
I'm sure there's more to it, and I think the final version is better as well, but I find both versions to be devastating in different ways.
My personal theory is that the bo on the left is his stage persona while the bo on the right is "robert", or his inner self.
But anyway to add to yours I think the green probably signifies illness
@@windflowerlulu Ah yeah that's a much better way of wording it. Left is "Bo", right is Robert. I totally agree, and the symbolism of green as illness is great as well.
i prefer the original version of All eyes on me, but there's something about this one that made it my favourite from the outtakes videos. i've lost count at how many times i've listened to it, his emotion seems so raw, cant really explain it. its just amazing.
oh, and thanks for the reactions, it has been quite a journey, you seem like a good genuine dude. Keep it up and i wish you lots of success!
I complete agree with this comment! From top to bottom👏🏽
When both takes happen to line up and the harmonies hit? That's just so good. But obviously the version chosen for the special was chosen because it is the most impactful and hit the mark perfectly.
The All Eyes On Me Outtake didn't hit as hard for me at first either, I feel like because I was still in that "oh these are goofy outtakes from the special" mode and wasn't expecting anything too extravagant. But I love this version now that I've re-watched and re-listened. Still love the original, but they're almost like two different songs entirely as far as mood goes. This Outtake version definitely plays around with human duality (whether that was intended or not). Both faces contrasted each other but also heightened each other in certain moments. Whereas the Inside version seems to very much be Bo focused & relaying a singular message, especially with the inclusion of his mid-song speech. Pretty neat stuff.
Good eye on when he was younger at his piano in the projector lens.
I didn't even catch that!
I disagree. All Eyes On Me on the Outtakes is so much more chaotic and dark. It feels like split personalities at a tug-of-war to win out only occasionally being on the same wavelength. One side being in the spotlight and one side being in the dark, lurking, saying “I lost” but also providing some of the most harmonic moments. While the original fits more as a climatic song, this one felt like one that’s more universal to anyone. I’m torn because I think I like this one more. Both are great.
Prefer this one as a song, prefer the original as a piece of art.
You hit the nail on the head. As someone with bipolar 2, it feels precisely like a manic depressive episode. The tug-of-war element especially..
This version feels like bo is still being a little dishonest and shielding away from how raw he lets himself be in the final cut.
Im with @Depunked here. I feel like it hits just as hard as the original. Just don't ask me which one is better. In essence, the original fits the tone of the final product Inside has, while the outtakes version feels, to me, as the product of a man battling his inner demons... and kinda losing... I mean he says it too... "I lost"
"mise en abyme is a formal technique of placing a copy of an image within itself" so the monitor being in the shot, and the projector doing the same
hi Chris, Bo was not using any effect to look like that in the All Eyes On Me Outtake. His eyes just did that! hope that helps :)
😳
I’ve watched this a few times now and no I didn’t see him as a kid at the piano and now I am sobbing. Well done man.
The end of goodbye where he's screaming always sends chills down my spine. And now that I know his younger self is there makes it even crazier.
I swear this is exactly what a manic depressive episode feels like. Chilling
I've wanted to make a video about this. Both versions of the song are the duality of the performer and the guy suffering from depression and anxiety, and they constantly go back and forth until they become one voice.
In the version Bo released, you can see the shifts between Bo as a performer and when he's going insular. This version is much more literal, this green demon singing from the same song sheet, sometimes taking the forefront.
You see it even more when the performer side is saying "get your hands up" (which seems like a reference to the kanye rant) where he's performing. And "hands down, pray for me" is Bo the man, in need of help.
By the end of All eyes on me, it's like he's gone into a panic attack, he's addressing the audience, laughing maniacally and moving erratically, saying get your hands up. To the same effect as we've seen previously, Bo's lost control and the performer cannot separate the person.
Seems to me the light version is the face he shows and the green version is how he is really feeling while he's performing. It's almost over lyric is him comforting himself and it pairs with are you feeling nervous. Are you having fun pairs with its just begun and that is his initial feelings. He both loves and hates it.
the alt version of All Eyes on Me felt like a creator desperately trying to create something. It felt like he was reaching his limit with how much he was trying to finalize the song
Wow. Even when you pointed it out I can only make out the frame of younger Bo ever so slightly at the end there. It’s amazing that you caught that.
Chris I would love to let you know that the effect he used on that alt for all eyes on me is inverse color recorded with night vision
I saw left brain right brain again. Interesting. He combined them and added the introspection.
Something I have read (and I don’t know much about music so I’m not sure) but, the notes in All eyes on me are the notes of the pentatonic scale, which is made up of major notes? (I think) but this creates a very uplifting sound, the pitch of his voice however is lowered to a pitch the brain associates with feeling sad, but it’s also a bit sort of demonic. So it’s essentially both uplifting and depressing at the same time which must be why a lot of people find it so captivating. I remember when I first heard / watched the special that song stirred something up in me I’d not felt before.
As you mentioned, the alt version doesn’t have a lower pitch, which i think makes it just a more uplifting experience. I think the green light over him is supposed to represent his inner anxieties and demons, (hence the unsettling green filter, black eyes and teeth etc as you mentioned) whilst the bo on the left is the stage persona. The stage persona seems to be the one singing all eyes on me whilst the green bo on the right is singing the lyrics “world is ending, honey it already did”.
I think that this version would have been created in the initial process of this song, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the green light was meant to try to convey what the lower pitch in the second / original version ended up doing in a much better way.
Enjoyed watching your old reactions to his stuff, nice to see someone really think and process it.
"This isn't about..." " ...content, here comes the content" "so just a little update, time is still, yknow... passing...."
Definitely worth multiple watches like everything else he does
Bo's cutting room floor is equal to other people's best.
Uhm happened to watch ur all eyes on me reaction then i clicked on yr channel to see this ohmygod
Yes! I thought I would be the only one who caught the younger Bo during the Goodbye Alt. It's so subtle and I'm surprised I caught it on first viewing.
Someone did a mashup of the two versions of "all eyes on my" and it's really good.
I have a feeling that these are two separate versions that he mushed together for Outtakes. Possibly even that neither one was fully finished. I also kinda feel that way about Content in this version. The disco ball one turned into the Inside version and the colorful one was another version. I'm probably wrong but I enjoy having 3 versions of All Eyes On Me.
I just realized I said version 5 times in my comment. I'll try to use less in this version of my comment.
Can’t help but tearing up with either version of all eyes on me
The Fortnite skins joke is a reference to a news article that kids were bullying other kids over Fortnite skins. So the service is participating in the very system it is allegedly supposed to solve.
Shit that ending frame...glad your back, really enjoy your takes
YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
Green Demon Bo = Jeff Bridges
_I know this may be kinda a weird request, but it would be cool if you reacted to "Bo Burnham vs Jeffrey Besos" from CJ the X. Is a very long video essay with a very cool take in inside, and also it's very funny. I take it as "the next step after inside", if you will. Even if you don't make a reaction, it would be cool if you watched it anyway. :›_
I totally second watching it! I think it's such a long video with so much work put in by CJ that I don't really think a reaction would be a good idea, but for sure watch it. The tech talk bit from the previous reaction part gave me chills the first time I watched it cause it's like the exact shit from that video and proves that CJ hit the nail on the head with their analysis
Oh i love that video essayyy! Defo would recommend checking it out.
I wholeheartedly concur.
I'm pretty sure that the green is just night vision. The first time I heard this my head nearly exploded. I think I like it more.
man the AEoM alt gave me chills, felt similar to the first time I saw the final ver. on Inside
What a cool inside look at the creative process from Bo. Raw. Like an open nerve cell
Can you React to Eff by Bo Burnham
I find it strange to hear him say he has trouble wrapping up the special with a good ending song. We see him film Goodbye when he has very short hair.
He may have meant the part that comes after Goodbye. Like the end end.
And then "Any Day Now" feels different to me now, since I can imagine him being stuck on that too.
Love how it’s called INSIDE OUT takes
Loved the bit at the end, never noticed it was him as a kid
I interpret this video as "young boy is the outside - the facade, the comedian, loud enough to force the dying inner bo whos tried and worn down like a old man from speaking his own truth"
Just Bo, off emotionally destroying us.
God damn it, call him up and tell him a joke.
You're my fav Bo reactor.
The green lighting is a different spectrum like infrared or ultraviolet or something.
I for one welcome the new post-rock Bo
The ending is the best
that godbye alt ending was disturbing but pretty cool
I think the green Bo was some sort of blacklight (with other effects as well)? I could be wrong, but that's what it seemed to me. I definitely like the original more.
I agree about the "broke-n damn it" having more of a punch.
HOLY SHIT I never noticed the image of teenaged him in his bedroom. Very interesting...
I think the green Bo was created with vfx because the red cord was turn green too
I'm pretty sure the weird green effect is from inverting the blacklight effect
The green face effect looks like inverted blacklight.
THANK YOU. I knew it felt like blacklight but not typical blacklight...I've never heard of inverted blacklight but now I have something to study. Thanks!
I think you also missed that in the final version he says "call me up and I will tell you a joke.". Here he is saying "call me up and tell me a joke".
He says both in the final version
@@ChrisReactsToThings Oh he does? I know the "I will tell you a joke" was repeated enough to stick in my head so here I heard "tell me a joke" and I'm like, wait... Looks like I need to listen to the original again since I missed it.
Dang ur eyes are good
I just thought green Bo was just an alien filter or something
i will say it again
GREEN BO FREAKS ME OUT
Totally broken to totally broke: he’s scaling down his melodrama. It’s an editorial choice, a good one, he doesn’t want it to get too heavy
I think totally broke probably came first and then he changed it to totally broken for the final cut, (although the way he says it in the final cut makes it so the audience can hear it either way, which is genius).
Wes Bo-land
This one's far more artistic, chaotic like an ongoing panic attack. The world's ending and sanity's departing on one side. And hope is still fighting on the other side, trying to bring forth his message before it's too late.
I do however prefer listening to the other one.
While I like the artistic direction of the alt version of All Eyes On Me, the original is far better. Like you said, it felt more impactful. It is cool seeing what a real life goblin would look like singing a Bo Burnham song though. The alt ending to Goodbye made me really uncomfortable though which is what he was going for I guess. The frame freeze of his first video in the lens is a good catch though! I could have watched it 40 times and never caught it. Good eye, sir!
if anyone says sequels aren't good show them Bezos IV
I think "totally broke, god dammit" is just a clever play on the sound. Could be that or "totally broken, dammit" No one lyric is correct
I watched this and I think I like it but im sad to see someone go through that amount of emotion
I wonder what the ceos of Netflix thought about bo making so many videos about Jeff Bezos were they like hey can you do one about our ceo Ted Sarandos and bo is like I'm sticking with Jeffrey
