They are not robots at all. The reason why BTS is so popular is because they are true musicians who write and produce; each one of them has their unique style and personality and you can feel it while listening to their music. They all have solo projects too and they are tackling very important matters like mental health, self love, suicide, corruption, the intensive educational system in Korea and more... Their agency is managing them but they have a real artistic freedom and each one of them have their own studio where they produce music. Their sound is usually more hip hop / RnB but they are not afraid to explore all genres of music. you should react to those : - Ma city - Tomorrow - Spine Breaker - the truth untold edit : Oh and they REALLY love and enjoy performing. one of the members said the thing he loves the most about his job is doing concerts.
134340, Sea, Moving On are also worth noting to listen to. :) Spine breaker must also watch the explanation behind it by DKDKTV to fully understand the references. :D
@Giulia Heim yes i agree maybe during interviews with specific persons but during performance i think they genuinely give out their best since they always think of us armys and dedicate it for us.
you noticed their shoes!! the only explanation i can give is that the Hyung line (the oldest ones) wears white shoes and the Maknae line (the younger ones) wears black. thats it.
I never knew that! That's hilarious. I was thinking there might be a correlation to the grapes and strawberries in the concept photos or something. Bwahaha!
The rapline prefers sneakers. The rest prefers more of a black style suited type shoes and boots. It's just taste and preference. It's like this when they're traveling through airports and at their concerts too when they wear a plain tshirt & jeans. Rapline & Tae loves to wear sneakers. Meanwhile Jungoo and Jimin love wearing dress shoes/boots. Nothing more.
They train all the time dancing and singing, and yes running in treadmill and singing. Just love your reaction and comments! Suggest you to check more from them, maybe their song Fake love? Their other song in SNL was Mic drop and their clothing was grazy different there, you would be so baffled, lol!
They wear masks when practicing for shows/concerts. So they have less oxygen when practising.. that way when they perform in front of an audience then they are relaxed and not as out of breath
mariam momtaz I don't know about the other ones, but I'm pretty sure their comeback version was completely live. I could be wrong, though, and feel free to correct me otherwise.
@@EnderHeart5911 The comeback was completely lip syncing. actually most of these shows are just lipsyncing&dance performance and the song itself has lots of autotune parts. Jin lip synced his part as expected cause it was too forced and could have ruined his voice. I'm not actually against lip syncing as these shows are complete mess and useless but I don't like That people are trying to believe it's live because of the superiority obsessed fan culture. like even if you didn't study music it's easy to notice that.
That was so interesting to watch and listen to the perspective of people who don't know BTS and have no prejudice. Thank you! These boys live to perform. They mentioned before how much they love their job and how they want to do it together as a group for a long time. Every time they perform, they will always give you the impression that they know what they are doing and that they love being on stage. Just a little FYI, there are three rappers in the group, 2 of them are underground rappers (RM, the leader and who rapped the bridge, and Suga, the first rapper in this song) before debuting and they helped train the 3rd one as a rapper who was an underground hiphop dancer pre-debut and who also happens to be their performance leader. He (Jhope, the 2nd rapper in this performance) is one of the biggest reasons why BTS performs the way they do. He makes sure everyone knows what to do on stage. They are the real deal and all three rappers have released their own mixtapes with songs that they mostly wrote, composed and produced themselves. The remaining four vocalists are Jungkook (the main vocalist who was doing the adlibs), Jimin (the one who started the song), Jin (the one with the rose) and V (the blue haired guy). I remember Jimin saying/complaining before how difficult it is for people who do concerts to stop performing for a while. They rested for a couple of months in preparation for their new album. He kept on saying that he wants to have a concert soon and meet the fans. They are on their world stadium tour right now and just today finished performing in Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California.
And j-hope [was originally supposed to be vocals and (Edit: this is incorrect, sorry.)] does tons of their recorded hidden vocals now. None of them can be pinned down, so I've given up trying. 😂
@Fer 094 Oh, really? I'll have to rewatch AHL. Thanks! I think I've been brainwashed by Squishy Min Yoongi and watching so many people react to An Introduction to BTS: J-Hope Version. I believe the part about j-hope doing backup vocals is still correct, right?
Actually 2 of BTS's rappers were active in the underground Korean Hip Hop Scene before they auditioned for BTS. Also BTS was originally supposed to be a Hip Hop Crew (not Kpop Idols) the third rapper joined around the time that BTS was still supposed to be a Hip Hop Crew so he didn't have vocal lessons either. Somewhere in 2011 they were switched to a Kpop group and then they added the 4 vocalists to the group. You can really tell by BTS old albums that were way more rap/hip hop focused.
The last rapper who joined the groups, Hoseok, was chosen to be a vocalist first. But then, they need more rapper. Finally, they chose Hoseok because he was an underground dancer who familiar with the hip hop beats. So, he trained himself, learning from RM (Namjoon) & Suga (Yoongi) as a rapper and the result is amazing. You see Hoseok can sing, rap, write lyrics and compose or produce songs. He released a mixtape in March 2018.
@@marshmart965 this is such a big misconception. I've been with them since the beginning, I'm talking predebut, I don't know the whole j-hope was supposed to be a singer thing got spread around but it's not true at all. He talked a couple times about how hard he worked in getting better at rapping since the very beginning.
Acording to drawing attention it was just a part of choreo. They have their moments during performances and that what are they saying. Don't twist things.
*it's not machinery* it's pure talent and hours and hours of daily hard work in practicing so.. BTS just performed this song with Halsey at Billboard Music Awards 2 days ago (by the way they won Top Group and Top Social Artist)
They do feel mechanical though. One reason I can't get into kpop is because it doesn't feel emotionally connected. They always seem stressed and worn out.
@@joannasaadati8810 that's a bit stereotypical. you should watch BTS's performance of Ma city or Tomorrow at their concert it's amazing. They are very passionate musicians and are not controlled; they write and produce music themselves and each one of them have their own uniqueness.
@@Kmooooon I guess I've just seen so many clips where a person passed out or threw up on stage that I can't enjoy the performance knowing they are worked to illness and exhaustion.
@@joannasaadati8810 Yeah I can agree with you on this one but it's something that happened a lot to Kpop Idols from Big Companies (those are usually a lot more manufactured and exploiting their artists) but BTS comes from a very small agency and they've been given a lot of freedom artistically. They're very hardworking it's part of their culture. Actually the CEO of their Company said he was angry at the way the industry was ruled and he wanted to change the way it worked so he created his company with the motto "music and artists for healing".
I don't know if it's an official reason why they have white and black pair of shoes but the 4 guys who had white shoes are the older members of bts (Jin 1992, Suga 1993, J-hope & RM 1994) while the 3 guys wearing black pair of shoes are the younger members of bts (Jimin & V 1995, Jungkook 1997)💜💜
I heavily suggest checking out the live versions of Im fine, blood sweat and tears, and fake love. All are amazing performances with storytelling being told through their choreography; as well as the vocals being out of this world.
many people made many great comments already, so i guess i'd like to make my addition to be about how i wish more people would watch bts performances and take them for what *BTS* can do, instead of grouping it with how KPOP is. because i see so many people say "oh these kpop groups dance and sing this well, what a performance" while watching a BTS performance, it's a majorly untrue statement. it's like watching a beyonce performance and saying "wow all american pop singers are this amazing performers." which we all know is an untrue and unfair thing to say. no one says that ever. when people react to bts majority of the time they do this grouping with kpop. they fail to realize that only VERY FEW kpop artists perform live at such high level. if you watch korean award shows most of the line up doesn't even perform live stages. yeah the stages will look nice because there's choreography most of the time, but there's also lipsync over most of them. i'll never forget just in 2017 when the only other people who performed live at k-award shows besides bts were the girl group MAMAMOO and a few solosits who do static stages. my point is, i wish more people would realize how ridiculous it is to match one artists' abilities to a whole genre's. not saying no one else in kpop has good abilities or stages, but bts is really among the top of the creme bunch. it's really as if like you are getting introduced to a whole new genre with one of said genre's bests. honestly, this is also why so many "new" fans who got introduced to kpop via bts remain bts only or heavily bts biased fans even after exploring more artists in it. anyway, it's nothing aimed at YOUR reaction guys. it was pretty obvious to me that you knew your own expertise super well, while the kpop/bts aspect was a new experience. it's refreshing to watch and i loved your commentary as well. this was just something that i've been thinking about for a long time while watching new people reacting to them. i just hope you gonna take it as what BTS can do, instead of making it as an umbrella over kpop. they aren't the only one capable kpop performers, but it still irks me when when people use their stages to form an opinion over all of kpop, i especially think about this when i'm sitting through 3-4 hours long korean award shows and there are like, only 2-3 artists on the line-up worth not only watching but listening to for a live.
Thank you for this insightful comment. I think each artist should just be judged based on who they are and what they do and not have it put in the same box as a group of other performers. It is hard not to though but your comment here is a good reminder not to overgeneralize one performer or group as representing a whole list of others for good or bad.
I found BTS first and they are still my #1, but delve into KPop looking for a group that hits hard both in recordings and live and Mamamoo is the class of the girl groups.
@@pinkbangtan9661that's brand ambassadorship. Sponsor and being brand ambassador is two different thing. Sponsor means they provide free clothes for the artists to use on whatever event they attend or even a promo photo on instagram, they don't pay the group, only provides free clothes. Brand ambassador is when the brand have a contract with artists to make a full on commercial about the product and they pay the artists to do it.
When SJ said "performances that I can just shut down my brain and giggling at", then they both went on giving the most in-depth analysis of this performance on UA-cam ever. Love it. Subbed.
I'm glad the performance was such that both of you were able to "turn off" and enjoy. I have said it before on Sam's page, but it seems difficult for a professional to sometimes stop analyzing and just enjoy something. I also appreciated the differences between voice coach, vocal coach, and performance coach. Hearing directing aspects was also informative. Thank you.
Loved your thoughts! This was very fascinating and instructive. I highly recommend you check out their live performances on the Tonight Show (Idol and I'm Fine). I think you will be floored!
BTS have three rappers (2 from the underground hip hop scene) and 4 vocalists! BTS also don't accept any sponsorships. They were getting a lot of love calls, but BTS themselves said that they are individuals and have their own style want to keep it that way. (They are global ambassadors for companies, but for everyday wear they make their own choices) If you like hip hop you should really check out Mic Drop on SNL. Complete 180 in musicality wise. I always recommend watching "who is BTS? The seven members of Bangtan" to really get an idea of the struggle and how BTS are. Also gives an insight to their producing/composing as well as the rappers mixtapes.
and I forgot to mention they practice 12 hours a day when there's a new album and normally 8+ hours daily AKA their commitment is on a whole another level of the rest of these days artists. BTS don't have a vocal couch, they only have a performance couch for choreo
I think they have temporary vocal coaches but not some one who is always there, unlike their performance director how has been working with them for years.
@delphinus03 I’m just guessing from the ‘Burn the Stage’ episode where Jungkook is talking about how he goes and looks up vocal techniques online, practices it and then eventually dislikes it. It just seems weird that he wouldn’t talk to his personalised vocal coach about these things and use the internet to look up technique. Like, I’m sure they have vocal coaches but 🤷♀️ it just seemed odd. And of course neither of us know the answer so it’s all just speculation anyway. 💜
Remember Jin has spoken of his vc and his vc has even praised him recently. Something to this effect, "Jin came from not having experience in the beginning to now being one of my stronger students". I can't see BTS not utilizing every tool they can. JK is a bit of a rebel so he may have asked his vc but still he needs to see for himself. I commend him for checking it out himself instead of accepting someone else's decisions.
Dwayne Townsend Oh I remember that, and they said the Jin had ‘transformed’ as a singer(?). I also have a feeling that they might of been in the middle of their WW tour when Jungkook was doing this so they might not of been around, I mean that’s where the episodes are set but I’m not sure.
They all have very unique styles and are allowed to express that. It has nothing to do with sponsorship! It's cool to listen to you guys give your opinions and observations not knowing the boys at all! Thank you for appreciating their talent
haha😁can't wait for more reaction and for you to see who they really are. They are definitely not robots and very much humans with their emotions and struggles. They have an amazing amount of content online that show their lives and they often do live videos to chat with the fans. And I want to add, as someone said in the comments, in a lot of their song they talk about important stuff that in my oppinion are something that a lot of people should hear. (sorry for my english). It's always fascinating to see the process of people having this image of BTS being very manufactured and robotic to realising they are all individuals that have their own personalities and skills that they bring to the group. They really are something different and for me atleast it has been so incredible to see their journey and them grow in many ways to this point in their success and life.
First, I want to say that this was great analysis, and I hope you do more! Second, I think both you are spot on about the white/black shoes being 1. to draw your eyes to the footwork of the choreography and 2. to increase their sense of individuality while still feeling cohesive. Kpop is absolutely as much about the visual as it is the auditory, and if you watch some more kpop live stages and music videos you'll see what I mean! They definitely do not shy away from the visually interesting using lots of colors, elaborate sets, complex choreography, etc.! It's really something I love about it. So much attention and effort is paid to every aspect of a performance. You guys also mentioned how they made everything look easy and there was nothing distracting you from the performance like discomfort or tension. Kpop idols mention a lot how they practice expressions/gestures to use during performances, so they definitely train very hard to make everything look effortless and charming at the same time haha. I could ramble forever about this kind of stuff!! Anyways, thanks for the great video!!
Wasn't it because that exact line was "sometimes I prayed, let me run away" and he was just mimicking the praying gesture? I don't think it was because he was shaking bruh
wowww.. I can believe that Sam reacting to BTS. Sam, if you're reading this, I love your reaction. please react more to BTS live performance. they're great artist who make their own song based their own stories
@@angeladc8315 i know. when he reacted to best and worst kpop Performance, i remember him saying the blood sweat and tears-jimin didn't really sing(acceptable, cz that's a comeback stage. they usually record it 2-3 times to get best shot)
U’ve got a new subscriber! It’s interesting to see how u guys concentrate on the performance & smiling to certain part of their performances. It’s so genuine ☺️. They have soooo many interesting videos to react to, can’t decide which to recommend. Hmm.. can consider reacting to their ‘one- take’ mv SAVE ME.
I love that you recognize the work they put in. Years of training before debuting 6 years ago. They have so much fun on stage and you’re right, it’s hard to fake that kind of love for your craft. Loved this review.
Their passion is their jobs. Thats why they are so loved. They strive so hard to get to where they are now, believe it or not they have debuted for 6 years and have been practicing together for 10 years. When they were asked about getting rest after the stadium tour, namjoon said they can rest when they are in grave but for now its all about returning the love and spreading their messages. Thats how passionate they are about music. They were in studio almost every second producing songs, without rest or regrets. Just a little fun facts. Love the reactions 💜💜💜
Careful with that robot comment. I know it was a joke, and *I know you countered it beautifully!*, but to explain why fans are triggered, BTS gets a huge amt of hate for seeming too precise to be real or to be performing live. The truth is they are talented and they've lived and practiced together for almost 10 yrs. They've said sometimes they don't even need to have verbal conversations. 😂😂😂 Oh oh - the manicured statement is problematic, too. Their agency is an anomaly. There is usually a reason to their clothes. In their Korean comeback performance of this song, the leader wore dark clothes while the others were in pastels. People speculate it was to tease the title of the next album in this series. It is based on Carl Jung's Map of the Soul. This album is Persona, the black clothes could signify the next will be Shadow, and there are strong signs the third will be Ego, as those are parts of Jung's theoretical Self. And you know, their last tour was Love Yourself and this one is Speak Yourself. At a concert early last year, Jin wore a shirt with the word Persona scribbled on the side. They mess with us like that constantly. I realllly want to see the two of you team up on more BTS performances! I love the comments on the sound techs backstage! There is a pit of ignorance among fans and haters alike who know nothing about backing tracks, singing and dancing simultaneously, and what goes into putting on a live performance. More, pretty please! You would be doing a service. And ARMYs would loooove to see what your opera classes have to say about BTS! This was going to be a short comment.....
@@btsonlypolicy9221 that was pretty insulting and not at all accurate. The comment came from a professional who has an eye for every detail on a stage. And there are the same number of bland people any location on earth. Same number of rude people, too. Think about that, why dontcha? 🤣💜
BTS ONLY POLICY It must be the language barrier, then. In English, bland is not complimentary. BTS works hard to open the world up to mutual understanding and growth, and it is counterproductive to perpetuate stereotypes such as behavior of "west" vs "east". Your example is easily negated by the qualifications of our channel host. We don't know each other, but I called you out as rude based on my own cultural definitions and because I'm likely older than you. Sorry for that presumption, but yes, I'm triggered by regressive behavior, and it has no bearing on where I'm from. 💜
“No matter how good you are, you always need a voice teacher” This is something all BTS’ fans and more importantly, their company BigHit should know and understand. These guys are insanely good, but they should keep training vocally not only to become better, but to learn how to prevent vocal damage, taking into account the ridiculous amount of performances they’ve been doing for the past couple of years.
Acording to drawing attention it was just a part of choreo. They have their moments during performances and that what are they saying. Don't twist things.
Are u curious y not the same color of shoes! U notice the 4 member wearing white shoes are the (hyungs)or oldest member jin,rm,jhope,suga and the black shoes are the maknae(youngest)jimin,v,jungkook😍😍😍😍or maybe have another meaning,,,,but we don't know!that bts though
Thanks for reacting to BTS! More pls! Army (fandom’s name) will be Glad. BTS is a group that start from scratch... literally nothing... they have a unique history that mold them so closely together & push them to work hard. They can sing, rap & dance so well. Their albums have a storyline since they debut, their songs have in depth meaning. On the whole their performance is special, charismatic & entertaining.
This is such a good reaction. I mean your analyzing their performance without any hate unlike other people. This is so respectful and also very interesting listening to you guys talk.
I kinda want to see more reactions now...This was such an amazing reaction. They work really hard and i'm glad to see that the fruits of their labor is appreciated by people who really know their stuff. Please react to more BTS
Now that you point it out, the Hyung line (Jin, Jhope, Suga, and Rm) are the ones with white shoes and the ones with the black are the Maknae line (Jimin, V, and Jungkook). I don't know what that has to do with anything but I noticed it.
I personally think this is such an honest discussion regarding technique and great analysis from someone who know have no prior knowledge about their performance before. The fact that they compliment them like an opera performance is huge compliment! TQ very much for your analysis
I'm glad you guys enjoyed the performance, and your opinions are very kind which I appreciate :) I know the boys would appreciate your compliments as well This was a very entertaining video so great job :)
Thank you for your nice reactions. I just wanted to tell you my opinion. I checked out other boygroups and also kpop groups, but there is a difference between them and bts. You might think they are well trained like robots but bts is voluntarily working very hard cuz they love their craft. They have a passion for their craft which I can see and feel in their attitude and performance. They are real artists who always try to get better. They don't set themselves any limits and always try new things no matter if it's about the sound they create or the songs they produce and write or the many many different performances they do. They work so hard but they love their work, they do it with passion and watching them motivates and inspires me to also try and do a better job. That's what I think is one of the reason why they are so much loved by so many peoples and of course their music and personalities are great :)
They don’t fake having fun because all ARMYs know that they are super happy being and working with each other (they are closer than even blood-related brothers, they are a family) and they also love us and performing for us. They always say how they want to repay our loyalty and love by performing for us so they genuinely love their job. JHope once said that being sincere and simply loving your job where you can bring smiles to people makes them feel good.
Wow! You & Sam, bringing different backgrounds to the table, created a very informative video. This is the 2nd reaction video of yours that I've watched & there's Sam! I hope you keep it up 'cause this discussion (nor the first one) didn't seem to pander to ARMY (me) like many reactors do. Because of you I'm inspired to look deeper & notice more. Keep it up please!
10:23 Trust me we notice when a member isn't having fun on stage or is even a little out of it, they don't fake being happy on stage either they mostly apologise later on twitter or it gets revealed to us what was going on backstage that day through they're mini like documentaries on UA-cam & DVDs. Plus they were really looking forward to performing on SNL since their album dropped ☺️
About the shoes: they have been practicing for their world tour and promotions supporting BTS new album release of "Map of the Soul "Persona" results in swollen, blistered and bruised feet, add a slippery stage equals tennis shoes vs their usual dress dance shoes. Personally I wish they would always were white shoes so I can see their foot work better as it's incredible!
they are not faking it.. they are the most genuine artists ive encountered in my life.. eversince their debut, they are thw most genuine and talented group i see.. that's why we love them.. they jave so many videos of them that u can watch that it's hard to fake it.
They have their own main choreographer who has been their dance teacher and performance director for at least 8 years. They also have have various voice coaches, but also all kind of feed off each other. Probably the coolest thing about them. Each member has certain strengths they bring to the group, but they always work hard to share their talents and coach each other. Like the three rappers are the main song writers. They used to help and teach each other and now they are helping all the other members be able to right songs. There's 3 main dancers but all trained in different areas. They teach each others styles and then also help the other members perfect choreographies. 4 vocalists were for a long time at different skill levels, but it was never super competitive and they would practice together even if it meant the formerly better member would get less lines. (Line distribution is a big deal in kpop because it also directly affects screen time and it's always a challenge putting so many members on a track. Especially if you get into the really big 13 member groups) BTS is a ridiculously strong team who are genuinely like family. In the early days they were forced to live together because of money but they still choose to all share a house and are the least toxic family I have ever seen. They crack each other up 24/7 and even news reports about them will attribute their huge success to their amazing chemistry in part. They only continue to get better and better as they eachother's own coaches
Wow! If all artists were that collaborative, team oriented, and hard working think of what kind of art would be made. Such a hopeful thing to learn about them. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
One of the first things I noticed about BTS when I was introduced to them is the way their choreography is meticulously designed to bring the featured performer into the focus of their formation. Yet, that choreography also provides hype and energy in a live setting as well (which I got to see this weekend). They are amazing. Go see them live if you can.
Learning moves and dancing is not the same.I know BTS works hard to keep up with the choreo.But I appreciate how imperfect they are.Some of them are not dancers but they work so hard to keep up with the ones that dancing comes natural.They work so well together that even if they lack in some moves it doesn't look bad.They make the moves their own.
Thank you for checking our boys out! I really love your open-mindedness :) about their shoes, you're right, a lot of kpop groups are well-manicured, but not BTS. Their label, BigHit, lets the boys have a say on what to wear, what to do, and what kind of music they wanna do, and that's one of the reasons why they have such a strong fanbase: they're genuine and sincere 😊💜 so it's highly likely the boys were the one who chose their shoes, albeit with a bit of an influence from their stylists.
I hope you do more of this. This video was really interesting. As a lot of people said in the comments BTS write and produce a lot of their songs so they are very different from most kpop groups.
@@DrMarcReynolds since you're focusing on vocal performance than watching live shows is probably the most important thing. They have so many different kind of songs it's hard to choose but I would probably go for their most current and popular live which Dionysus (on the mcountdown). The MMA performance is really impressive as both vocaly and from a performance perspective. It is also a crowd favorite.
Dr. Marc Reynolds I want to recommend ARMYPEDIA : 'BTS TALK SHOW' No More Dream (live band ver.), Just One Day, & I Like It Live. It's a super casual special they did for fans. They just sit around and do rearranged versions of some old songs. Voice-focused since you can get their full performance anywhere. Only 10 min. The only down side is V (blue cap, light puffy coat) had the flu so you can't get the full effect of his awesome baritone/counter tenor. (He has something like 5 octaves up to a comfortable falsetto.)
They have 6+ years of dance and vocal experience, they’ve trained everyday even now! A few have previous experience long before they were even famous.... *This was BTS US comeback with “BOY WITH LUV” debut on SNL for the first time without Halsey but she is part of their chorus because you can hear her voice in the background behind their voices plus they had to adjust themselves because of the small stage setting they’re usually performance on much bigger(massive) stages!*
Someone who is attentive to you outside of your own body....THANK YOU for recognizing the "other army" that makes it possible for BTS to bring their message to the world.
The most apt description I've ever heard about a reaction video was "enjoying a performance again thru someone else's eyes." But this video also managed to teach things that i as just a viewer/fan never knew. The intricacies in details of how a perfomance is brought to life. This 20min video passed by so fast i had no idea it was that long...i was just into your discussion. Fantastic video.👍👍🙏
i’ve never actually noticed the black/white shoe thing before, even though i’ve seen this performance sooo many times, but now that i look, i notice that it actually is the 4 oldest member (seokjin, yoongi, hoseok & namjoon) who has white shoes and the 3 youngest (jungkook, taehyung & jimin) who has black!!!
those are very interesting points! thank you for reacting to them and appreciating the art and intricacy of their performance that most people might overlook because it’s really just so polished and visually stunning ^^
I'll subscribe hoping you'll have more BTS content. 🙏 Great vid by the way! Would love for you to react to their other live stages of them since you have a background on stage directing.
Interesting comments about the first rapper immediately, Suga and RM were underground rappers before deciding to become idols. Fun fact: The main vocalist, Jungkook, was originally in the rapline (he was and is still amazing at it) And another rapper J-hope was originally in the vocalist line (uh, it was a good choice to move him :P).
They've been around performing, dancing and making music for 6 years Excluding the years of being a trainee preparing to debut. I feel like you should know it, the reason why theyre flawless
Hey I loved this reaction/review. Sam is another channel I watch often. I am happy you reacted to BTS, I love their music. I am curious about what you could say about another one of my favorite artists. His name is Hua Chenyu and he is a Chinese singer. He competed in the show Singer 2018, the same one that Dimash was in. He has an interesting look on the human voice when it comes to singing. He treats it like it is an instrument rather than muscle. He focuses on sound rather than lyrics normally. I would really appreciate and love it if you could take a look. I recommend the songs Fake Monk, Child, and Wayfarer.
Very interesting you guys said that it's very operatic. After watching their performance at the Rose Bowl, I thought it was rather opera, musical, and it was a whole package. The world has moved onto a whole different level now.
Wow, this was so interesting to listen to! Thank you for taking a look at BTS!! They really do work so hard. I’ve always thought their performances are similar to musical theatre in a lot of ways.
I am very happy to see you enjoying and appreciating BTS as much as I do. It is really joyful to watch and listen to their music and performance. They have been encouraged by their label, BigHit entertainment whose motto is “music & artist for healing”, to tell and express their authentic feeling and story into their music and performance from the beginning so that they can connect and communicate with their fans via their real thoughts and life experiences to give them healing. They have been doing it very well so far so I think it is safe to say that what you saw and feel from the BTS’ performance is real. I am very happy and proud of being one of their beautiful fandom ARMY and of BTS who has been giving the world so many good things with all of what they have like talents, charity, open-mind, personalities, and just being themselves.
I'm pretty sure they have people to go over their moves, but most of the judging is actually done by themselves, I'm not quite sure about other kpop groups, but BTS is really focused on monitoring their performance, every time they practice they record themselves and individually watch their mistakes and their members mistakes so they can try to correct their moves and sound every time, it's actually very satisfying to watch them practice their performance because of this
They are not robots at all. The reason why BTS is so popular is because they are true musicians who write and produce; each one of them has their unique style and personality and you can feel it while listening to their music. They all have solo projects too and they are tackling very important matters like mental health, self love, suicide, corruption, the intensive educational system in Korea and more...
Their agency is managing them but they have a real artistic freedom and each one of them have their own studio where they produce music. Their sound is usually more hip hop / RnB but they are not afraid to explore all genres of music.
you should react to those :
- Ma city
- Tomorrow
- Spine Breaker
- the truth untold
edit : Oh and they REALLY love and enjoy performing. one of the members said the thing he loves the most about his job is doing concerts.
134340, Sea, Moving On are also worth noting to listen to. :)
Spine breaker must also watch the explanation behind it by DKDKTV to fully understand the references. :D
hunger stormie 100% yes!
YES
Yeah, they're something special.
Well if that's so then why isn't groups like iKon, exo, stray kids popular as them worldwide? 😭
No offense to bts though
They are not faking it.. they are the most genuine humble artist of this generation.
@Giulia Heim yes i agree maybe during interviews with specific persons but during performance i think they genuinely give out their best since they always think of us armys and dedicate it for us.
you noticed their shoes!! the only explanation i can give is that the Hyung line (the oldest ones) wears white shoes and the Maknae line (the younger ones) wears black. thats it.
That is what I was going to point out
I never knew that! That's hilarious. I was thinking there might be a correlation to the grapes and strawberries in the concept photos or something. Bwahaha!
Or maybe it’s just the stylist noonas choice as always 🤣💜
@@alicechiu2136 I've always wondered if the stylist noonas knew more about the storyline than BTS... 😉
The rapline prefers sneakers. The rest prefers more of a black style suited type shoes and boots. It's just taste and preference. It's like this when they're traveling through airports and at their concerts too when they wear a plain tshirt & jeans. Rapline & Tae loves to wear sneakers. Meanwhile Jungoo and Jimin love wearing dress shoes/boots. Nothing more.
I would love see both of y'all to see their other performance on SNL Mic drop, its so different than this song.
Yes please 😊
yes!!
Definitely....the performance is dope
I hope they do. And Sam is a fan of hip hop so I hope he likes it.
Up
They train all the time dancing and singing, and yes running in treadmill and singing. Just love your reaction and comments! Suggest you to check more from them, maybe their song Fake love? Their other song in SNL was Mic drop and their clothing was grazy different there, you would be so baffled, lol!
Fake love from MAMA 2019 JAPAN would be amazing
They wear masks when practicing for shows/concerts. So they have less oxygen when practising.. that way when they perform in front of an audience then they are relaxed and not as out of breath
@@nadz993 Huh? They wear masks a lot but it's to prevent getting sick/spreading sickness, pretty sure it has nothing to do with oxygen levels.
@@meadowfrance watch their concert rehersals, im not sure which one said it: maybe yoongi years ago
@@nadz993 Oh ok, interesting.
You should react to bts dionysus live! it’s one of my favorites
Yes! Totally, definitely! I just saw this performance for the first time a few days ago. It's truly worth reacting to!
Please don't that was lipsyncing
mariam momtaz I don't know about the other ones, but I'm pretty sure their comeback version was completely live. I could be wrong, though, and feel free to correct me otherwise.
@@EnderHeart5911 The comeback was completely lip syncing. actually most of these shows are just lipsyncing&dance performance and the song itself has lots of autotune parts.
Jin lip synced his part as expected cause it was too forced and could have ruined his voice.
I'm not actually against lip syncing as these shows are complete mess and useless but I don't like That people are trying to believe it's live because of the superiority obsessed fan culture. like even if you didn't study music it's easy to notice that.
Yes!!
That was so interesting to watch and listen to the perspective of people who don't know BTS and have no prejudice. Thank you! These boys live to perform. They mentioned before how much they love their job and how they want to do it together as a group for a long time. Every time they perform, they will always give you the impression that they know what they are doing and that they love being on stage. Just a little FYI, there are three rappers in the group, 2 of them are underground rappers (RM, the leader and who rapped the bridge, and Suga, the first rapper in this song) before debuting and they helped train the 3rd one as a rapper who was an underground hiphop dancer pre-debut and who also happens to be their performance leader. He (Jhope, the 2nd rapper in this performance) is one of the biggest reasons why BTS performs the way they do. He makes sure everyone knows what to do on stage. They are the real deal and all three rappers have released their own mixtapes with songs that they mostly wrote, composed and produced themselves. The remaining four vocalists are Jungkook (the main vocalist who was doing the adlibs), Jimin (the one who started the song), Jin (the one with the rose) and V (the blue haired guy). I remember Jimin saying/complaining before how difficult it is for people who do concerts to stop performing for a while. They rested for a couple of months in preparation for their new album. He kept on saying that he wants to have a concert soon and meet the fans. They are on their world stadium tour right now and just today finished performing in Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California.
That was loooong.....
@@nope131 hahahaha. I like explaining things thoroughly. I like reading essays too.
@@kimchi4438 I hate writing essays in exam
As a project I do it wholeheartedly with proper research
Nevermind
they wear similar yet different clothes to look like they belong together, but that they're not the same copies.
“We have different clothes”
😂
Nope. 3 of them are rappers and not singers and 2 of them were underground rappers before bts so they are very serious at what they do
Rappers but they can sing too😅
And j-hope [was originally supposed to be vocals and (Edit: this is incorrect, sorry.)] does tons of their recorded hidden vocals now. None of them can be pinned down, so I've given up trying. 😂
@Fer 094 Oh, really? I'll have to rewatch AHL. Thanks! I think I've been brainwashed by Squishy Min Yoongi and watching so many people react to An Introduction to BTS: J-Hope Version. I believe the part about j-hope doing backup vocals is still correct, right?
And as far as I know Taehyung was supposed to be a rapper 😂😅
Technically 4 since Jungkook (the main vocalist) used to be labeled a 'Rapper' but now he is just a 'Sub Rapper'
Actually 2 of BTS's rappers were active in the underground Korean Hip Hop Scene before they auditioned for BTS. Also BTS was originally supposed to be a Hip Hop Crew (not Kpop Idols) the third rapper joined around the time that BTS was still supposed to be a Hip Hop Crew so he didn't have vocal lessons either. Somewhere in 2011 they were switched to a Kpop group and then they added the 4 vocalists to the group. You can really tell by BTS old albums that were way more rap/hip hop focused.
The last rapper who joined the groups, Hoseok, was chosen to be a vocalist first. But then, they need more rapper. Finally, they chose Hoseok because he was an underground dancer who familiar with the hip hop beats. So, he trained himself, learning from RM (Namjoon) & Suga (Yoongi) as a rapper and the result is amazing. You see Hoseok can sing, rap, write lyrics and compose or produce songs. He released a mixtape in March 2018.
@@marshmart965 Nope, Hoseok was never supposed to be a vocalist, this is a persistent rumour in the fandom that just doesn't seem to go away
@@marshmart965 this is such a big misconception. I've been with them since the beginning, I'm talking predebut, I don't know the whole j-hope was supposed to be a singer thing got spread around but it's not true at all. He talked a couple times about how hard he worked in getting better at rapping since the very beginning.
Center of attention...that dude can actually fly into the air and still sing perfectly
Yes vocal king Jungkook never disappoints us
Yes. Jungkook is best center👍
*Euphoria performance at rose bowl *cough cough**
Acording to drawing attention it was just a part of choreo. They have their moments during performances and that what are they saying. Don't twist things.
As you can see he didn't even liked your comment so we can assume it's other way around.
*it's not machinery* it's pure talent and hours and hours of daily hard work in practicing so.. BTS just performed this song with Halsey at Billboard Music Awards 2 days ago (by the way they won Top Group and Top Social Artist)
They do feel mechanical though. One reason I can't get into kpop is because it doesn't feel emotionally connected. They always seem stressed and worn out.
@@joannasaadati8810 that's a bit stereotypical. you should watch BTS's performance of Ma city or Tomorrow at their concert it's amazing. They are very passionate musicians and are not controlled; they write and produce music themselves and each one of them have their own uniqueness.
@@Kmooooon I guess I've just seen so many clips where a person passed out or threw up on stage that I can't enjoy the performance knowing they are worked to illness and exhaustion.
@@joannasaadati8810 Yeah I can agree with you on this one but it's something that happened a lot to Kpop Idols from Big Companies (those are usually a lot more manufactured and exploiting their artists) but BTS comes from a very small agency and they've been given a lot of freedom artistically. They're very hardworking it's part of their culture. Actually the CEO of their Company said he was angry at the way the industry was ruled and he wanted to change the way it worked so he created his company with the motto "music and artists for healing".
@@joannasaadati8810 try MAMAMOO live radio
They were at SNL as first ever korean artist to perform so they were happy,excited and nervous at the same time.
I saw the happy and excited but not the nervous. They did an excellent job owning the performance!
I don't know if it's an official reason why they have white and black pair of shoes but the 4 guys who had white shoes are the older members of bts (Jin 1992, Suga 1993, J-hope & RM 1994) while the 3 guys wearing black pair of shoes are the younger members of bts (Jimin & V 1995, Jungkook 1997)💜💜
I heavily suggest checking out the live versions of Im fine, blood sweat and tears, and fake love. All are amazing performances with storytelling being told through their choreography; as well as the vocals being out of this world.
That's really cool to hear that their technique is so solid, bc prior to joining bts, most of them had never had formal training
many people made many great comments already, so i guess i'd like to make my addition to be about how i wish more people would watch bts performances and take them for what *BTS* can do, instead of grouping it with how KPOP is. because i see so many people say "oh these kpop groups dance and sing this well, what a performance" while watching a BTS performance, it's a majorly untrue statement. it's like watching a beyonce performance and saying "wow all american pop singers are this amazing performers." which we all know is an untrue and unfair thing to say. no one says that ever.
when people react to bts majority of the time they do this grouping with kpop. they fail to realize that only VERY FEW kpop artists perform live at such high level. if you watch korean award shows most of the line up doesn't even perform live stages. yeah the stages will look nice because there's choreography most of the time, but there's also lipsync over most of them. i'll never forget just in 2017 when the only other people who performed live at k-award shows besides bts were the girl group MAMAMOO and a few solosits who do static stages.
my point is, i wish more people would realize how ridiculous it is to match one artists' abilities to a whole genre's. not saying no one else in kpop has good abilities or stages, but bts is really among the top of the creme bunch. it's really as if like you are getting introduced to a whole new genre with one of said genre's bests. honestly, this is also why so many "new" fans who got introduced to kpop via bts remain bts only or heavily bts biased fans even after exploring more artists in it.
anyway, it's nothing aimed at YOUR reaction guys. it was pretty obvious to me that you knew your own expertise super well, while the kpop/bts aspect was a new experience. it's refreshing to watch and i loved your commentary as well. this was just something that i've been thinking about for a long time while watching new people reacting to them. i just hope you gonna take it as what BTS can do, instead of making it as an umbrella over kpop. they aren't the only one capable kpop performers, but it still irks me when when people use their stages to form an opinion over all of kpop, i especially think about this when i'm sitting through 3-4 hours long korean award shows and there are like, only 2-3 artists on the line-up worth not only watching but listening to for a live.
Thank you for this insightful comment. I think each artist should just be judged based on who they are and what they do and not have it put in the same box as a group of other performers. It is hard not to though but your comment here is a good reminder not to overgeneralize one performer or group as representing a whole list of others for good or bad.
this is such a good comment.
honestly, i've never seen any artists take the stage the way Bangtan has.
I feel like crying reading your comment because that's exactly what I want to say. Thank you so much for saying that.
I found BTS first and they are still my #1, but delve into KPop looking for a group that hits hard both in recordings and live and Mamamoo is the class of the girl groups.
💜💜💜💜🥺
actually they are not getting sponsored to wear anything.....bts does not accept sponsored clothes or shoes.........
@@pinkbangtan9661, no they are not. They are ambassadors for puma
@@pinkbangtan9661that's brand ambassadorship. Sponsor and being brand ambassador is two different thing. Sponsor means they provide free clothes for the artists to use on whatever event they attend or even a promo photo on instagram, they don't pay the group, only provides free clothes. Brand ambassador is when the brand have a contract with artists to make a full on commercial about the product and they pay the artists to do it.
When SJ said "performances that I can just shut down my brain and giggling at", then they both went on giving the most in-depth analysis of this performance on UA-cam ever. Love it. Subbed.
I'm glad the performance was such that both of you were able to "turn off" and enjoy. I have said it before on Sam's page, but it seems difficult for a professional to sometimes stop analyzing and just enjoy something.
I also appreciated the differences between voice coach, vocal coach, and performance coach. Hearing directing aspects was also informative. Thank you.
Guys can I give you a suggestion? Lower the volume of the music so we can hear you talking better!
I was thinking the same thing XD
Loved your thoughts! This was very fascinating and instructive.
I highly recommend you check out their live performances on the Tonight Show (Idol and I'm Fine).
I think you will be floored!
BTS have three rappers (2 from the underground hip hop scene) and 4 vocalists! BTS also don't accept any sponsorships. They were getting a lot of love calls, but BTS themselves said that they are individuals and have their own style want to keep it that way. (They are global ambassadors for companies, but for everyday wear they make their own choices) If you like hip hop you should really check out Mic Drop on SNL. Complete 180 in musicality wise. I always recommend watching "who is BTS? The seven members of Bangtan" to really get an idea of the struggle and how BTS are. Also gives an insight to their producing/composing as well as the rappers mixtapes.
They don’t have sponsors, the sponsors have them.
and I forgot to mention they practice 12 hours a day when there's a new album and normally 8+ hours daily AKA their commitment is on a whole another level of the rest of these days artists. BTS don't have a vocal couch, they only have a performance couch for choreo
I think they have temporary vocal coaches but not some one who is always there, unlike their performance director how has been working with them for years.
Plus, we all know that as trainees they received vocal instruction...
@delphinus03
I’m just guessing from the ‘Burn the Stage’ episode where Jungkook is talking about how he goes and looks up vocal techniques online, practices it and then eventually dislikes it. It just seems weird that he wouldn’t talk to his personalised vocal coach about these things and use the internet to look up technique. Like, I’m sure they have vocal coaches but 🤷♀️ it just seemed odd.
And of course neither of us know the answer so it’s all just speculation anyway. 💜
Remember Jin has spoken of his vc and his vc has even praised him recently. Something to this effect, "Jin came from not having experience in the beginning to now being one of my stronger students". I can't see BTS not utilizing every tool they can. JK is a bit of a rebel so he may have asked his vc but still he needs to see for himself. I commend him for checking it out himself instead of accepting someone else's decisions.
Dwayne Townsend
Oh I remember that, and they said the Jin had ‘transformed’ as a singer(?).
I also have a feeling that they might of been in the middle of their WW tour when Jungkook was doing this so they might not of been around, I mean that’s where the episodes are set but I’m not sure.
They all have very unique styles and are allowed to express that. It has nothing to do with sponsorship! It's cool to listen to you guys give your opinions and observations not knowing the boys at all! Thank you for appreciating their talent
These guys are next level everything!!! You’re just scratching the surface!!!
💯💯💯
That was so good !! Thank you so much ! Can't wait for more reactions to BTS.
I love the points you mentioned about stage performance and focus and the boys as a group. Gives a different view.
haha😁can't wait for more reaction and for you to see who they really are. They are definitely not robots and very much humans with their emotions and struggles. They have an amazing amount of content online that show their lives and they often do live videos to chat with the fans. And I want to add, as someone said in the comments, in a lot of their song they talk about important stuff that in my oppinion are something that a lot of people should hear. (sorry for my english). It's always fascinating to see the process of people having this image of BTS being very manufactured and robotic to realising they are all individuals that have their own personalities and skills that they bring to the group. They really are something different and for me atleast it has been so incredible to see their journey and them grow in many ways to this point in their success and life.
First, I want to say that this was great analysis, and I hope you do more! Second, I think both you are spot on about the white/black shoes being 1. to draw your eyes to the footwork of the choreography and 2. to increase their sense of individuality while still feeling cohesive. Kpop is absolutely as much about the visual as it is the auditory, and if you watch some more kpop live stages and music videos you'll see what I mean! They definitely do not shy away from the visually interesting using lots of colors, elaborate sets, complex choreography, etc.! It's really something I love about it. So much attention and effort is paid to every aspect of a performance. You guys also mentioned how they made everything look easy and there was nothing distracting you from the performance like discomfort or tension. Kpop idols mention a lot how they practice expressions/gestures to use during performances, so they definitely train very hard to make everything look effortless and charming at the same time haha. I could ramble forever about this kind of stuff!! Anyways, thanks for the great video!!
Can you react to bts SNL mic drop performance it's really cool
BTS is 3 rappers ( two are underground rapper) and 4 singer
It’s always so lovely to listen to professionals speak about our boys. Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed your commentary!
Please react to the MMA 2018 performance! Bighit really went all out on that one :)
At 16:27 , RM (the person who's rapping), hold's his hand up to the mic because he was shaking and a bit nervous, they are definitely not robots
Wasn't it because that exact line was "sometimes I prayed, let me run away" and he was just mimicking the praying gesture? I don't think it was because he was shaking bruh
wowww.. I can believe that Sam reacting to BTS. Sam, if you're reading this, I love your reaction. please react more to BTS live performance. they're great artist who make their own song based their own stories
Poppylia Ari me too. Can’t believe he’s saying so much good things here, unlike on his own channel. 😂
@@angeladc8315 i know. when he reacted to best and worst kpop Performance, i remember him saying the blood sweat and tears-jimin didn't really sing(acceptable, cz that's a comeback stage. they usually record it 2-3 times to get best shot)
U’ve got a new subscriber!
It’s interesting to see how u guys concentrate on the performance & smiling to certain part of their performances. It’s so genuine ☺️. They have soooo many interesting videos to react to, can’t decide which to recommend.
Hmm.. can consider reacting to their ‘one- take’ mv SAVE ME.
This performance makes me happy every time I see it.😊
It's NOT machinery or they're robot . It's pure TALENT ! Thank you so much for reacting them 🙏💜 plz react to more BTS 😊
That’s why Bts is one of the best.
I love that you recognize the work they put in. Years of training before debuting 6 years ago. They have so much fun on stage and you’re right, it’s hard to fake that kind of love for your craft. Loved this review.
Their passion is their jobs. Thats why they are so loved. They strive so hard to get to where they are now, believe it or not they have debuted for 6 years and have been practicing together for 10 years. When they were asked about getting rest after the stadium tour, namjoon said they can rest when they are in grave but for now its all about returning the love and spreading their messages. Thats how passionate they are about music. They were in studio almost every second producing songs, without rest or regrets. Just a little fun facts. Love the reactions 💜💜💜
U guys are next level reactors! Thank u!
Careful with that robot comment. I know it was a joke, and *I know you countered it beautifully!*, but to explain why fans are triggered, BTS gets a huge amt of hate for seeming too precise to be real or to be performing live. The truth is they are talented and they've lived and practiced together for almost 10 yrs. They've said sometimes they don't even need to have verbal conversations. 😂😂😂
Oh oh - the manicured statement is problematic, too. Their agency is an anomaly.
There is usually a reason to their clothes. In their Korean comeback performance of this song, the leader wore dark clothes while the others were in pastels. People speculate it was to tease the title of the next album in this series. It is based on Carl Jung's Map of the Soul. This album is Persona, the black clothes could signify the next will be Shadow, and there are strong signs the third will be Ego, as those are parts of Jung's theoretical Self. And you know, their last tour was Love Yourself and this one is Speak Yourself. At a concert early last year, Jin wore a shirt with the word Persona scribbled on the side. They mess with us like that constantly.
I realllly want to see the two of you team up on more BTS performances! I love the comments on the sound techs backstage! There is a pit of ignorance among fans and haters alike who know nothing about backing tracks, singing and dancing simultaneously, and what goes into putting on a live performance. More, pretty please! You would be doing a service.
And ARMYs would loooove to see what your opera classes have to say about BTS!
This was going to be a short comment.....
The comments about the shoes and their look is a perfect example of how different western people and asian/korean thinks.westerns are so bland
@@btsonlypolicy9221 that was pretty insulting and not at all accurate. The comment came from a professional who has an eye for every detail on a stage. And there are the same number of bland people any location on earth. Same number of rude people, too. Think about that, why dontcha? 🤣💜
@@flyushkifly how is that insulting when im just giving an example?triggered westerner?
BTS ONLY POLICY It must be the language barrier, then. In English, bland is not complimentary. BTS works hard to open the world up to mutual understanding and growth, and it is counterproductive to perpetuate stereotypes such as behavior of "west" vs "east". Your example is easily negated by the qualifications of our channel host. We don't know each other, but I called you out as rude based on my own cultural definitions and because I'm likely older than you. Sorry for that presumption, but yes, I'm triggered by regressive behavior, and it has no bearing on where I'm from. 💜
I love sam’s reaction
Thank you for the joined feedback! It's SO fascinating hearing both of your perspectives from different view points and experience. Learned a lot!
“No matter how good you are, you always need a voice teacher” This is something all BTS’ fans and more importantly, their company BigHit should know and understand. These guys are insanely good, but they should keep training vocally not only to become better, but to learn how to prevent vocal damage, taking into account the ridiculous amount of performances they’ve been doing for the past couple of years.
Jungkook performance so great. He's main vocal👍👍👍
Acording to drawing attention it was just a part of choreo. They have their moments during performances and that what are they saying. Don't twist things.
Are u curious y not the same color of shoes! U notice the 4 member wearing white shoes are the (hyungs)or oldest member jin,rm,jhope,suga and the black shoes are the maknae(youngest)jimin,v,jungkook😍😍😍😍or maybe have another meaning,,,,but we don't know!that bts though
Please react to mic drop BTS on SNL!!!!
Thanks for reacting to BTS! More pls! Army (fandom’s name) will be Glad.
BTS is a group that start from scratch... literally nothing... they have a unique history that mold them so closely together & push them to work hard.
They can sing, rap & dance so well. Their albums have a storyline since they debut, their songs have in depth meaning. On the whole their performance is special, charismatic & entertaining.
Every person starts from scratch
This is such a good reaction. I mean your analyzing their performance without any hate unlike other people. This is so respectful and also very interesting listening to you guys talk.
Please react to more of Bts we wanna know how a professionals analyze their music... the latest bts craze is Dionysus Mnet live version...thanks
I kinda want to see more reactions now...This was such an amazing reaction. They work really hard and i'm glad to see that the fruits of their labor is appreciated by people who really know their stuff. Please react to more BTS
Now that you point it out, the Hyung line (Jin, Jhope, Suga, and Rm) are the ones with white shoes and the ones with the black are the Maknae line (Jimin, V, and Jungkook). I don't know what that has to do with anything but I noticed it.
I personally think this is such an honest discussion regarding technique and great analysis from someone who know have no prior knowledge about their performance before. The fact that they compliment them like an opera performance is huge compliment! TQ very much for your analysis
I'm glad you guys enjoyed the performance, and your opinions are very kind which I appreciate :)
I know the boys would appreciate your compliments as well
This was a very entertaining video so great job :)
Thank you for your nice reactions. I just wanted to tell you my opinion. I checked out other boygroups and also kpop groups, but there is a difference between them and bts. You might think they are well trained like robots but bts is voluntarily working very hard cuz they love their craft. They have a passion for their craft which I can see and feel in their attitude and performance. They are real artists who always try to get better. They don't set themselves any limits and always try new things no matter if it's about the sound they create or the songs they produce and write or the many many different performances they do. They work so hard but they love their work, they do it with passion and watching them motivates and inspires me to also try and do a better job. That's what I think is one of the reason why they are so much loved by so many peoples and of course their music and personalities are great :)
They don’t fake having fun because all ARMYs know that they are super happy being and working with each other (they are closer than even blood-related brothers, they are a family) and they also love us and performing for us. They always say how they want to repay our loyalty and love by performing for us so they genuinely love their job.
JHope once said that being sincere and simply loving your job where you can bring smiles to people makes them feel good.
bts is so amazing and fantastic and they deserve so much love🖤thank you for reacting to them
LOVE YOU GUYS REACTION. BOTH OF YOU ARE SO PROFESSIONAL AND FAIR TO THE PERFORMERS. I LOVE BTS. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
Thanks for watching!
i love how you guys actually take time to comment on their performance! would love to see this for their dionysus performance!
Ok this reaction is gold . You guys made really good analysis and comments. I'd love to watch more .
Wow! You & Sam, bringing different backgrounds to the table, created a very informative video. This is the 2nd reaction video of yours that I've watched & there's Sam! I hope you keep it up 'cause this discussion (nor the first one) didn't seem to pander to ARMY (me) like many reactors do. Because of you I'm inspired to look deeper & notice more. Keep it up please!
This was a historical groundbreaking performance so no, They weren't pretending to have fun
10:23 Trust me we notice when a member isn't having fun on stage or is even a little out of it, they don't fake being happy on stage either they mostly apologise later on twitter or it gets revealed to us what was going on backstage that day through they're mini like documentaries on UA-cam & DVDs. Plus they were really looking forward to performing on SNL since their album dropped ☺️
About the shoes: they have been practicing for their world tour and promotions supporting BTS new album release of "Map of the Soul "Persona" results in swollen, blistered and bruised feet, add a slippery stage equals tennis shoes vs their usual dress dance shoes. Personally I wish they would always were white shoes so I can see their foot work better as it's incredible!
they are not faking it.. they are the most genuine artists ive encountered in my life.. eversince their debut, they are thw most genuine and talented group i see.. that's why we love them.. they jave so many videos of them that u can watch that it's hard to fake it.
They have their own main choreographer who has been their dance teacher and performance director for at least 8 years. They also have have various voice coaches, but also all kind of feed off each other. Probably the coolest thing about them. Each member has certain strengths they bring to the group, but they always work hard to share their talents and coach each other. Like the three rappers are the main song writers. They used to help and teach each other and now they are helping all the other members be able to right songs. There's 3 main dancers but all trained in different areas. They teach each others styles and then also help the other members perfect choreographies. 4 vocalists were for a long time at different skill levels, but it was never super competitive and they would practice together even if it meant the formerly better member would get less lines. (Line distribution is a big deal in kpop because it also directly affects screen time and it's always a challenge putting so many members on a track. Especially if you get into the really big 13 member groups)
BTS is a ridiculously strong team who are genuinely like family. In the early days they were forced to live together because of money but they still choose to all share a house and are the least toxic family I have ever seen. They crack each other up 24/7 and even news reports about them will attribute their huge success to their amazing chemistry in part.
They only continue to get better and better as they eachother's own coaches
Wow! If all artists were that collaborative, team oriented, and hard working think of what kind of art would be made. Such a hopeful thing to learn about them. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
One of the first things I noticed about BTS when I was introduced to them is the way their choreography is meticulously designed to bring the featured performer into the focus of their formation. Yet, that choreography also provides hype and energy in a live setting as well (which I got to see this weekend). They are amazing. Go see them live if you can.
Really cool video! Looking for more like it
Thank you guys for that amazing reaction!
Learning moves and dancing is not the same.I know BTS works hard to keep up with the choreo.But I appreciate how imperfect they are.Some of them are not dancers but they work so hard to keep up with the ones that dancing comes natural.They work so well together that even if they lack in some moves it doesn't look bad.They make the moves their own.
omg yes!!! we need more of this combo!!! so nice!!!!! so nice!!!! thank u guys really enjoy it!
Thank you for checking our boys out! I really love your open-mindedness :) about their shoes, you're right, a lot of kpop groups are well-manicured, but not BTS. Their label, BigHit, lets the boys have a say on what to wear, what to do, and what kind of music they wanna do, and that's one of the reasons why they have such a strong fanbase: they're genuine and sincere 😊💜 so it's highly likely the boys were the one who chose their shoes, albeit with a bit of an influence from their stylists.
K-pop is basically crack for theatre kids...I speak from experience.
Every performance has so much high energy emotions...let us breathe. Sigh.
I hope you do more of this. This video was really interesting. As a lot of people said in the comments BTS write and produce a lot of their songs so they are very different from most kpop groups.
Will do! Thanks for watching! If you had to choose the next song I react to which is their best song in your opinion?
@@DrMarcReynolds since you're focusing on vocal performance than watching live shows is probably the most important thing. They have so many different kind of songs it's hard to choose but I would probably go for their most current and popular live which Dionysus (on the mcountdown). The MMA performance is really impressive as both vocaly and from a performance perspective. It is also a crowd favorite.
@@omermeroz Yes the MMA 2018 and then Spring Day with the explanation video as well.
Dr. Marc Reynolds I want to recommend ARMYPEDIA : 'BTS TALK SHOW' No More Dream (live band ver.), Just One Day, & I Like It Live. It's a super casual special they did for fans. They just sit around and do rearranged versions of some old songs. Voice-focused since you can get their full performance anywhere. Only 10 min.
The only down side is V (blue cap, light puffy coat) had the flu so you can't get the full effect of his awesome baritone/counter tenor. (He has something like 5 octaves up to a comfortable falsetto.)
@@flyushkifly Yes that too very good live
They have 6+ years of dance and vocal experience, they’ve trained everyday even now! A few have previous experience long before they were even famous....
*This was BTS US comeback with “BOY WITH LUV” debut on SNL for the first time without Halsey but she is part of their chorus because you can hear her voice in the background behind their voices plus they had to adjust themselves because of the small stage setting they’re usually performance on much bigger(massive) stages!*
I especially love watching Sam react and analyze. He looks like he gets so much joy from it.
You right it hart to believe how much they practice. All their songs are message driven and they wrote themselves.
Jimin the one w the orange hair has very little voice coaching. He is so good as are all of them.
I love this. Its rare to find people giving good evaluations with an open mind
I love how relaxed BTS are and in turn the audience doesnt sense any tension and this makes it a fun performance that everyone gets to enjoy
Someone who is attentive to you outside of your own body....THANK YOU for recognizing the "other army" that makes it possible for BTS to bring their message to the world.
The most apt description I've ever heard about a reaction video was "enjoying a performance again thru someone else's eyes."
But this video also managed to teach things that i as just a viewer/fan never knew. The intricacies in details of how a perfomance is brought to life.
This 20min video passed by so fast i had no idea it was that long...i was just into your discussion. Fantastic video.👍👍🙏
Thank you!! So happy you enjoyed it!
it's kind of beautiful to see people appreciate the hardwork BTS and their Staff have done.. It's hardwork and sincerity and thats all..
i’ve never actually noticed the black/white shoe thing before, even though i’ve seen this performance sooo many times, but now that i look, i notice that it actually is the 4 oldest member (seokjin, yoongi, hoseok & namjoon) who has white shoes and the 3 youngest (jungkook, taehyung & jimin) who has black!!!
those are very interesting points! thank you for reacting to them and appreciating the art and intricacy of their performance that most people might overlook because it’s really just so polished and visually stunning ^^
I'll subscribe hoping you'll have more BTS content. 🙏 Great vid by the way! Would love for you to react to their other live stages of them since you have a background on stage directing.
Interesting comments about the first rapper immediately, Suga and RM were underground rappers before deciding to become idols.
Fun fact: The main vocalist, Jungkook, was originally in the rapline (he was and is still amazing at it) And another rapper J-hope was originally in the vocalist line (uh, it was a good choice to move him :P).
They've been around performing, dancing and making music for 6 years Excluding the years of being a trainee preparing to debut. I feel like you should know it, the reason why theyre flawless
Hey I loved this reaction/review. Sam is another channel I watch often. I am happy you reacted to BTS, I love their music. I am curious about what you could say about another one of my favorite artists. His name is Hua Chenyu and he is a Chinese singer. He competed in the show Singer 2018, the same one that Dimash was in. He has an interesting look on the human voice when it comes to singing. He treats it like it is an instrument rather than muscle. He focuses on sound rather than lyrics normally. I would really appreciate and love it if you could take a look. I recommend the songs Fake Monk, Child, and Wayfarer.
Fake Monk is on my list to react and analyze here in the next week or two! Thanks for watching!
@@DrMarcReynolds wow, thank you 😊
Very interesting you guys said that it's very operatic. After watching their performance at the Rose Bowl, I thought it was rather opera, musical, and it was a whole package. The world has moved onto a whole different level now.
Wow, this was so interesting to listen to! Thank you for taking a look at BTS!! They really do work so hard. I’ve always thought their performances are similar to musical theatre in a lot of ways.
I am very happy to see you enjoying and appreciating BTS as much as I do. It is really joyful to watch and listen to their music and performance. They have been encouraged by their label, BigHit entertainment whose motto is “music & artist for healing”, to tell and express their authentic feeling and story into their music and performance from the beginning so that they can connect and communicate with their fans via their real thoughts and life experiences to give them healing. They have been doing it very well so far so I think it is safe to say that what you saw and feel from the BTS’ performance is real. I am very happy and proud of being one of their beautiful fandom ARMY and of BTS who has been giving the world so many good things with all of what they have like talents, charity, open-mind, personalities, and just being themselves.
I'm pretty sure they have people to go over their moves, but most of the judging is actually done by themselves, I'm not quite sure about other kpop groups, but BTS is really focused on monitoring their performance, every time they practice they record themselves and individually watch their mistakes and their members mistakes so they can try to correct their moves and sound every time, it's actually very satisfying to watch them practice their performance because of this
omg amazing, i would *love* to see more reactions to them please ♡
Thank you for reacting and analysing this performance. I learned a lot new things and new angles to look at their performance from.
That's because BTS are one of the most natural and authentic Kpop groups out there
