"It's very technical, but he's doing it so lazily." I just SCREAMED haha. You hit that right on the head and I love it. That's definitely Suga, and we love him for it.
You are the first person I've watched on UA-cam who actually pays attention to the linguistics. A singer's native language surely plays a big part in the way their voice sounds, I agree.
"It's very technical, but he's doing it so lazily, like he's half-asleep almost..." Yeah, you just saw right into the soul of SUGA, who would like to be reborn as a rock in his next life.
I think he described it as lazily and effortless because the way he moves when he's dancing and the way he moves on his daily life/ doing casual things is how he naturally moves. I don't know if you get what I mean. He has natural swag even when not dancing. If Jimin is airy and Jungkook is earthy/muscle power (just to name a few members), Suga moves like water if that makes sense.
What I love about Seesaw is that he uses a metaphor for toxic relationships not only in lyrics but also in music which has ups and downs and his rap with high and low tones like a seesaw. He is really talented producer and songwriter
Absolutely! I can't think of another artist who intentionally and better yet successfully accomplishes the technique. I love his whisper rap in Dechwita. It is as if he is sharing an intimate secret about himself ( and he is!). A deep dive into that would be a worthy occupation. Stay well
He is great dancer. He was b-boying before BTS. And of course he is brilliant musician, who is making music for 15-16 years. K-media named him Genius Producer, King of the music industry, Hand of Midas. Wish you would react to Shadow as well to see his different side
I've read Korean speakers say that Yoongi speaks like moving his mouth costs money XD he is very relaxed and kinda mumbles when speaking, but he is one of the fastest AND clearest rappers with the best pronunciation
Suga is the king of low effort, but high quality. He's so effortlessly cool but then he'll just randomly burst out into high energy (not in this song tho) or emotion, I love how that part of his personality translates to his music.
"So effortlessly cool but then he'll just randomly burst out into high energy" is just exactly the way I would describe the energy of a cat. They don't run circles around you all day like a dog. The energy comes in bursts. And it describes Yoongi so well! No wonder we call him Meow-meow.
I think it's his signature to do things like a lazy person.he acts like lazy he's so effortless but there's still effort if that makes sense.tbh yoongi is the most hardworking man i've ever seen.
True. He wrote 8 songs for the BE Album (but they couldn't use them all b/c other members' song had to be incorporated as well) while writing his D2 album at the same time. And 3 of them were written during the week they filmed In the SOOP (week spent at the lakehouse last spring). Never mind he produced the theme song to In the SOOP which the members spontaneously wrote while filming the show that week.
@@jlkf6145 yeah ikr he's so genius i remember when rm was so shocked when suga said he can write a song within a day.no wonder why he calls himself a genius.
That breathing shift you talked about when it can be clearly heard... pure Suga. It's as much as a vocal choice as Jimin's cry at the end of a falsetto note. It's one of Suga's signatures.
I love how Sam has this very fond look on his face during the entire performance. It's exactly how every Army looks while watching Suga perform Seesaw.
Yoongi inspires fondness. And that's quite unexpected after you hear some of his rap to haters. He puts so much of himself into his writing and performances, you feel close to him.
This is the first song that Suga has ever sang. Everyone was floored when he started singing and dancing instead of rapping. Suga is a songwriter. He is known for fast rapping and swag. He also is known for being sleepy. In his last interview he said he wants to write some folk music. He plays piano and guitar.
He includes his breathing between lines on purpose, it usually goes hand in hand with his music and lyrics. It's his things. Please react to more songs from him. He creates absolutely different genres from pop to alternative rock, from r&b to hip hop. He is incredibly versatile producer, songwriter and rapper. I suggest you to check out his songs BTS - First love, BTS - Interlude: Shadow, Agust D - People, Agust D - Set me free
@@eternalsunshine6738 I know his Album and songs but still.. seesaw didn't felt like a Suga Song. Thr lyrics.. yes but the song itself.. not that much.
Sam at 4:36ff - "His rapping is a lot quicker than J-Hope's was" Me, thinking of "Cypher 2" (which I'm sure got *no* votes): Dude, you have no idea! 😆😅😂🤣
Suga is a very good producer and song writer. I really like the fact that u took time to react to rapline too. Most vocal coaches don't do that. Rapline also has very melodic rape. Especially if u react 2 their rap unit songs like ugh and outro tear. They change their rap style so much in these songs its amazing.
I think one thing yoongi is so good at is the use of breath. He will make sure to show desperation by leaving in his gasps as he passionately tells you his story so you can feel his pain too. Or he will leave a long breath at the end of a phrase to show, perhaps, loss of hope. His unfiltered approach to music, I think, is what always has drawn people in. Passionate is the easiest way to describe his music....
He is very versatile musician. It would be interesting if after Seesaw you'll react to his more rap song. Interlude: Shadow was amazing suggestion, hope you'll consider reacting to it Another very beautiful song is First love - about his love for music
Seesaw is a very representative song for Suga, choreo included, and you managed to pick out every little detail of his voice and vibe. 😆😆😆 Top analysis. 👌👌👌 Would love for you to do one of his rap songs since he has such a particular rapping style (he goes down and up and left and right in a single phrase 🤣), it would be interesting to hear your thoughts. Great reaction.
suga is a performer that is either aggressive and professional, or casual and authentic. with songs like seesaw, he just looks like he's genuinely enjoying himself and taking things casually, everything just flows from one thing to the next and it all ties together into this really comforting package. his solo mixtapes really put into perspective how much range of power he has. from one song where it feels like he's screaming at you, to something more like this, where he's just having a pleasant conversation with you and dancing a lil. i love him so much lmao :(
SUGA Voice is really beautiful and got that really unique tone and character in it, his flow is one of the most beautiful, unique and dope Ive ever heard, his delivery is always on point, I can feel the soul and the perfect emotion and mood in every words of his rap/singing, he can do any genre too, he's the best
“Keep everything ready to attack” xD That’s such an accurate description of his rapping style, haha! It’s a shame the rappers don’t really perform the songs from their personal mixtapes live, because I’d love to see your reaction to something like Agust D or Daechwita. I generally tend to prefer vocals more similar to Jimin’s, but I adore SUGA’s voice and your explanation of the sound explains why I like it so much - it feels intimate, and when combined with his tendency to write very personal and vulnerable lyrics just works really well. Thank you for this reaction, I’ll be looking forward to RM whenever you get around to him. 💜💜💜
Yoongi the rapper is a musician at heart, a sought after producer and a great beat maker. Before making his solo world tour we heard he had been taking singing lessons. Every one has been impressed by his singing. Such a star.
Suga is mainly a musician. His goal was to become a producer and song writer but due to is rapping abilities the company chose to include Suga in the rap line of BTS. He writes and produces for other artists and even won an award for producer of the year in Korea a few years ago. Though BTS have their "home production team" Suga, RM and Jhope are credited on almost all the BTS material. RM says that Suga has "absolute pitch" which is an asset for a producer. Suga lately mentioned that he hopes to sing more in the future.
Both his personality and his music exude an intensity in small things. If you pay attention, you can tell how much intent goes into his music (and the things he does in his life), but if you're not paying attention, you'll brush him off as lazy or apathetic. Even his speaking voice is quiet and soft, but he often speaks with intensity that is belied by his tone. I love how your analysis of his voice and his technique really emphasized that about him. The phrase "technical but lazy" is just right. It shows both the effort he made and the way he tries to de-emphasize the effort, as if trying to spare himself the vulnerability of his earnestness by acting like "It's all cool, it's no big deal, I just thought I'd drop this idea here for you to consider. But it's really no biggie, don't worry about it." It's a very complex human behavior, and it shows in a lot of his music, so I'm really glad that you addressed that juxtaposition in his performance.
I love your description of his dancing as lazy but technical! I always say he's doing the same steps as everyone else but with more economy of motion. hee hee
I noticed the same thing about Korean language since I started learning it. For me it's a "closed-mouth" language. You don't need to open your mouth too much or talk too loudly to produce sounds. And that's why (in my opinion) k-pop seems so effortless, cause the Korean language is effortless itself. P.S. Love from Poland 👋
Yeeh exactly, sometimes they can even talk in a kind of pouty way and it still sounds effortless and clear, and that's something so different from my native language that makes it super challenging to learn but fun at the same time lol
this would explain why so many reactors erroneously claim that BTS are lip synching... the lack of need to open the mouth so wide and the use of a microphone to project the sound louder than expected with a more closed mouth position. just saying.
He breathes more like a rapper than a singer. He’s been more and more interested in singing since 2019 so I expect his singing to get a lot better. I think he’s been mostly imitating the guy’s styles as he’s seen them get better through the years. I know he took some lessons in 2019, but he keeps saying he wants to take more lessons and learn to sing. He’s been adding more and more melodies and singing into his solos and parts in both regular BTS songs, solo mixtapes and rapline songs.
I just love Suga's voice when he raps. Idk why but it's just very soothing. Helps me relax when I'm stressed or anxious. It's just something about his voice.
This performance was more like stepping out of comfort zone for him. He usually doesn't make solo performances with choreography and Seesaw was his first solo song, where he is kinda singing. He likes trying new things and likes challenging himself. If you listen to his more recent songs like Agust D - People, you'll see he became very good singer. Please react to Interlude: Shadow, production wise i think it is one of his best works
A song that it total Suga is First Love - it's more rap centric but the song, it's meaning, and his performance are simply amazing. I think your "take" on how his voice as an instrument in this song is delivered would be fascinating. I was never fond of rap as a medium but the rap I did enjoy was the old school - early rap from the 80's that you could understand, had a message and "sounded" good. The boys in BTS rap line restored my enjoyment for the genre - Ddaeng is my favorite - even more so after I learned the translated lyrics.
They say that Suga was hired to rap, produce and write. He was told singing and dancing would be a minimum,lol. As you will see he participates at 100% in all areas including dance. We love his wonderful effort on Seesaw. If you want to see Suga and J- Hope really get out of the box their SOPE OTSUKARE in Japan is guarenteed to make you smile. Lounge lizard jackets and choreography that is surprising. Some say Suga would only dance like this out of respect for JHope. Great reaction, we love the deep dive.
His breaths are part of his style as far as I know. He has interesting flips up and down and squeaks in his raps. It's really cool and idk that I've really heard it anywhere else before
Have you ever made a video on how your native language influences your singing? That would be interesting to watch. I’m Danish and a lot of the sounds come from the throat when we speak. And I’ve always thought that it might be the reason for why I struggle with high notes 😂
Oh I do so love your reactions and the amount of analysis you do. Yoongi is so close to being my bias, but I am still determinedly OT7. Thank you Sam. No, that was a GREAT Outro again, loved it!
Greatly appreciate the technical descriptions of Suga‘s vocal sound production. He makes his voice into a suite of instruments. He is so effective at communicating the intent by effortlessly shifting forms. Love it and I can appreciate his work more now. Thanks
He is amazing producer and songwriter. He is very passionate about music and he is also very hardworking. He needs only 3-4 hours of sleep to be able to work
This song of his showcases how effortless and natural he seems. Some people were saying before how the rapline can't dance or sing but look at how Yoongi can along with J-hope and RM. I loved how you commented on his dancing as well and how you put into words the feeling and vibe he's giving. That characteristic of him being seemingly lazy amd effortless gives him that charm. I really feel like he's got that natural swag not only when dancing and performing, but also with the way he walks, moves, and just his every action. His every action screams swag and cuteness at the same time lmao
What a treat! I love how you really hear and point out techniques that go unnoticed by many. His sound box is really impressive. Maybe when you've done a reaction to RM's rapping you could do a reaction to all three rappers when they're performing a rapline only song like 'Tear' ??
I love you bts' unofficial dance coach❤ I love the way you breakdown everything and actually analyze their voices, give explanations to it all and take into account that their native language has an influence on it too. Thank you so much for reacting to this (as a vocal coach and a dance coach hahaha)❤
Really good video ! Thank you for the analysis of suga If you want to see j-hope and suga having fun performing a kind of “joke song” that is actually really catchy check out Otsukare :)
He is very powerful performer and dancer. His style of dance changes according to mood of the song. If it is hype song like Fire he is literally will be fire, very sharp and quick. In Seesaw he is very chill. Wish you'd react to Shadow too
I’m glad you reacted to this video. This is def one of my fave of Suga’s solo songs 😊😊😊💜💜. And im not gonna lie i am learning so much from you! Thanks as always!!
"Cas' " and "ready to attack" basically describe Yoongi, so that you've described some of his vocal techniques this way is fantastic haha. Really love your videos! So informative.
He made me love rap, showed me that it can be different with wide range of emotions. And I love his voice so much. When I had hard time with finishing my degree I used to watch the video of his live stream where he calls himself "New Yorker" 🤭. His soft velvet voice calms me down. I can listen to him forever. Yoongi is my big 💜 It always amazes me how you can catch every minute detail. It's awesome, bravo! 👏🏻
I love how Yoongi acts like he doesn't like to sing, yet he writes himself so many songs that involve singing. I adore his singing voice. He's so talented in so many areas. A true musical genius.
I really enjoy your reactions to BTS. I have been Army for years and I have to say that you bring a new fresh look at them and their technicalities without seeming pompous or arrogant about it. Please Please react to The Truth Untold Live Seoul stage OMG tears every single time. Suga is known as The King of Swag lol
This was great! Two things I love about his delivery are those sharp breaths and the quick vocal inflections/flips. It adds so much character and emotion to his performance. Nice to see someone else point that kind of thing out instead of just how fast he is.
I'm so so happy that you're checking out the rapline! Rap has always been one of my favorite genres of music and most people don't realize that it is really difficult to rap (believe me I've tried lol), it takes technique and practice and excellent breath work. I've always wanted to hear a vocal coach analyze it to know more. This was great!
I loved this reaction! I love the way Suga sings this because as you said it sounds likes he's speaking to you and you just feel that connection. And thank you for noticing his dancing and commenting on it too!!! I don't know how he does it either lol
A superb analysis and explanation, Sam! I love your attention to detail and your blend of technical and layman's terminology. Your vocal demonstrations to illustrate sounds and techniques are so cool! I found myself during this video in particular wishing I had had you as my vocal coach when I was singing!
Suga is my fave cos he IS cool, super chill.. by now, I'm sure many may have shared that he's more a song writer than a singer. But I love your breakdowns! Keep them coming! I was subscribed to your channel before I heard BTS and becamr Army so these reactions for me are a beautiful coming together of 2 things I love! 💜
I just love this reaction video of yours☺ Suga's voice relaxes me all the time either he's singing or rapping😍😍😍 everything he does made me felt loved & relaxed as well💜💜💜💜💜
I love all of the observations you made about suga (without knowing him)seem to sum up his personality so well! Made me giggle. Loving your BTS content.
If you want to hear a great rap line song where you can hear their differences and how well they gel together, watch the performance of TEAR. It’s absolutely amazing!!
I know it's probably confirmation bias, but you pointed out nearly every feature that I notice & admire in his vocal performances, so I had a really great time watching this. Thanks for the thoughtful commentary. AND thank you for asking ARMYs what you should be watching! So often I see people reacting to certain things and I just want to grab the remote out of their hand and show them what's good.
Great video! I love how you pick up on the fact that language can effect how you have to approach some notes/words in terms of tone. If you ever react to more of Suga, I think you'll enjoy some of the stuff he does - he sometimes will rap from the perspective of someone or something else in his song and he'll change his voice accordingly. In the song First Love, for instance, he raps a small verse from the perspective of his piano.
Thank you so much for another great reaction. Love your analysis and break down of the songs and techniques. Really appreciate your respectful approach too, you don't judge, you just listen and analyse. Just, thank you for taking your time to react to bts. 💜
Salvando la diferencia de idioma y aun con el traductor, usted es el vocal coach más didáctico que he visto, con excelentes y fáciles explicaciones en sus análisis. Siempre aprendo algo nuevo con usted. Dios le bendiga.
I love that you are actually listening for abilities and natural talents that go into a flawless smooth flowing rap song. That shows real maturity and professionalism, and respect for all forms of music. Well done! The only advice I would share is, to change the phrase “legit singing” as a way to describe full on broad whole note singing. We understood what you were describing between rapping and other forms of singing. But maybe find a different choice of words. Great review! Very educating! I really enjoy watching your channel! 😊😄
Cool, the word you're looking for is cool XD His spoken voice is actually really low! People get surprised when they hear him speak. Please do Shadow too! He does sing and rap and is very theatrical, and you hear his low low register
Half-asleep but technically advanced - that really sums Suga up in some ways hahaha
And the fact that he starts this performance *literally lying down* - 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Karin_Allen and in the rehearsals he fell asleep 🤣🤣🤣
HEAVILY accurate
Half-asleep Bangtan? Of course it's our Lil MeowMeow! 😹💜😹💜😹
I legit laughed as soon as he said half asleep. Haha I love Suga 💜
"It's very technical, but he's doing it so lazily." I just SCREAMED haha. You hit that right on the head and I love it. That's definitely Suga, and we love him for it.
You are the first person I've watched on UA-cam who actually pays attention to the linguistics. A singer's native language surely plays a big part in the way their voice sounds, I agree.
❤️
I love that he considered that too. It gets looked over so often
Even the members were shocked when Suga added choreography 🤗😁💜💜
He is not only the producer and songwriter of this song, but also credited for piano
"It's very technical, but he's doing it so lazily, like he's half-asleep almost..."
Yeah, you just saw right into the soul of SUGA, who would like to be reborn as a rock in his next life.
Wow, did he just praised Yoongi's dance? Finally someone noticed it
ikr, we need people to react to it more oftenly
And he describe it as kinda lazily... Something so relaxing to watch..my sleepy Yoongi.
@@a-life1932 "Lazy but ready to attack" is the perfect description for Suga. 😆
I think he described it as lazily and effortless because the way he moves when he's dancing and the way he moves on his daily life/ doing casual things is how he naturally moves.

If Jimin is airy and Jungkook is earthy/muscle power (just to name a few members), Suga moves like water if that makes sense.
Lazy swag!😅
Due to the Korean language phonetic rules, si is pronounced as shi. It's always so charming when Suga says 'shiso':).
and that's how you can get his lyrics deformed with "cheesecake" instead of "seesaw Game"
@@Lizzu "who dropped the cheesecake" lmao
@@ctrl.f LMAOOO
yesss omg i always lose it whenever he says shiso
What I love about Seesaw is that he uses a metaphor for toxic relationships not only in lyrics but also in music which has ups and downs and his rap with high and low tones like a seesaw. He is really talented producer and songwriter
He actually uses his breathing as another instrument in his music. If you'll listen to his music you'll understand what i mean
ugh i love yoongi so much
Absolutely! I can't think of another artist who intentionally and better yet successfully accomplishes the technique.
I love his whisper rap in Dechwita. It is as if he is sharing an intimate secret about himself ( and he is!). A deep dive into that would be a worthy occupation. Stay well
YUPPP like daechwita
In “the last” that’s wonderful too
@@kirisama5866 it takes a lot to be that honest. Call him Yoongi, Suga or AgustD he is a masterclass in creativity and talent
Suga will purposefully make sounds while breathing to add to the overall sound of the song. He also uses the sound "mmmm" in a lot of his songs. :)
And a lot of that hiccuping sound that Sam noticed.
"I'm the unofficial dance coach of BTS"
-Sam Scott Thorne
He is great dancer. He was b-boying before BTS. And of course he is brilliant musician, who is making music for 15-16 years. K-media named him Genius Producer, King of the music industry, Hand of Midas. Wish you would react to Shadow as well to see his different side

I think he’s been mostly imitating the guy’s styles as he’s seen them get better through the years. I know he took some lessons in 2019, but he keeps saying he wants to take more lessons and learn to sing. He’s been adding more and more melodies and singing into his solos and parts in both regular BTS songs, solo mixtapes and rapline songs.
I just love Suga's voice when he raps. Idk why but it's just very soothing. Helps me relax when I'm stressed or anxious. It's just something about his voice.
This performance was more like stepping out of comfort zone for him. He usually doesn't make solo performances with choreography and Seesaw was his first solo song, where he is kinda singing. He likes trying new things and likes challenging himself. If you listen to his more recent songs like Agust D - People, you'll see he became very good singer. Please react to Interlude: Shadow, production wise i think it is one of his best works
A song that it total Suga is First Love - it's more rap centric but the song, it's meaning, and his performance are simply amazing. I think your "take" on how his voice as an instrument in this song is delivered would be fascinating. I was never fond of rap as a medium but the rap I did enjoy was the old school - early rap from the 80's that you could understand, had a message and "sounded" good. The boys in BTS rap line restored my enjoyment for the genre - Ddaeng is my favorite - even more so after I learned the translated lyrics.
They say that Suga was hired to rap, produce and write. He was told singing and dancing would be a minimum,lol. As you will see he participates at 100% in all areas including dance. We love his wonderful effort on Seesaw. If you want to see Suga and J- Hope really get out of the box their SOPE OTSUKARE in Japan is guarenteed to make you smile. Lounge lizard jackets and choreography that is surprising. Some say Suga would only dance like this out of respect for JHope. Great reaction, we love the deep dive.
His breaths are part of his style as far as I know. He has interesting flips up and down and squeaks in his raps. It's really cool and idk that I've really heard it anywhere else before
Have you ever made a video on how your native language influences your singing? That would be interesting to watch. I’m Danish and a lot of the sounds come from the throat when we speak. And I’ve always thought that it might be the reason for why I struggle with high notes 😂
Oh I do so love your reactions and the amount of analysis you do. Yoongi is so close to being my bias, but I am still determinedly OT7. Thank you Sam. No, that was a GREAT Outro again, loved it!
He has such amazing control over his voice, he constantly surprises me when I listen to him.
Greatly appreciate the technical descriptions of Suga‘s vocal sound production. He makes his voice into a suite of instruments. He is so effective at communicating the intent by effortlessly shifting forms. Love it and I can appreciate his work more now. Thanks
“I am the unofficial dance coach of BTS said no one ever” 😂
He is amazing producer and songwriter. He is very passionate about music and he is also very hardworking. He needs only 3-4 hours of sleep to be able to work
SUGA is a cool cat.
This song of his showcases how effortless and natural he seems. Some people were saying before how the rapline can't dance or sing but look at how Yoongi can along with J-hope and RM. I loved how you commented on his dancing as well and how you put into words the feeling and vibe he's giving. That characteristic of him being seemingly lazy amd effortless gives him that charm. I really feel like he's got that natural swag not only when dancing and performing, but also with the way he walks, moves, and just his every action. His every action screams swag and cuteness at the same time lmao
What a treat! I love how you really hear and point out techniques that go unnoticed by many. His sound box is really impressive. Maybe when you've done a reaction to RM's rapping you could do a reaction to all three rappers when they're performing a rapline only song like 'Tear' ??
Oh my god see saw you should watch the first consert when he first dance and army screaming out of their lung
I love you bts' unofficial dance coach❤ I love the way you breakdown everything and actually analyze their voices, give explanations to it all and take into account that their native language has an influence on it too. Thank you so much for reacting to this (as a vocal coach and a dance coach hahaha)❤
Really good video ! Thank you for the analysis of suga
If you want to see j-hope and suga having fun performing a kind of “joke song” that is actually really catchy check out Otsukare :)
Yes! Otsukare is my go to pick-me-up song.
I was just going to say, Otsukare is amaaaaaazing
I was able to eat well is also a pretty good song in them 🤣🤣🤣🤣, I need more of them two having fun on stage.😭😭😭
@@janethmccartney1062 they did tease new Sope content! I can hardly wait
I love otsukare! My daughter, whose bias is Suga, loves shadow.
I feel like he does 2 types of songs: calm and relaxed or very screamy and agressive. and he does them both well
He is very powerful performer and dancer. His style of dance changes according to mood of the song. If it is hype song like Fire he is literally will be fire, very sharp and quick. In Seesaw he is very chill. Wish you'd react to Shadow too
I’m glad you reacted to this video. This is def one of my fave of Suga’s solo songs 😊😊😊💜💜. And im not gonna lie i am learning so much from you! Thanks as always!!
I love the lazy but technical comment on dancing hehe
"Cas' " and "ready to attack" basically describe Yoongi, so that you've described some of his vocal techniques this way is fantastic haha.
Really love your videos! So informative.
The sharp breathing and some noises like mmmm is kinda his signature snd makes his rapping style really unique
Suga is an anomaly and so cool as you stated! BTS rock and so Suga rocks his unique sound!! 💜✊🏽💜
I love the outros. Every time you say," and how are we going to go about this one?" I get excited, like YES! They are so fun.
He takes that breath and sound in every song!
He made me love rap, showed me that it can be different with wide range of emotions. And I love his voice so much. When I had hard time with finishing my degree I used to watch the video of his live stream where he calls himself "New Yorker" 🤭. His soft velvet voice calms me down. I can listen to him forever. Yoongi is my big 💜
It always amazes me how you can catch every minute detail. It's awesome, bravo! 👏🏻
I love his singing voice, its really nice
Min Yoongi, genius. What more is there to say?
Omg i laughed so hard at the lazy but technical dance 😂😂😂 thaaats our yoongi
I love how Yoongi acts like he doesn't like to sing, yet he writes himself so many songs that involve singing. I adore his singing voice. He's so talented in so many areas. A true musical genius.
I really enjoy your reactions to BTS. I have been Army for years and I have to say that you bring a new fresh look at them and their technicalities without seeming pompous or arrogant about it. Please Please react to The Truth Untold Live Seoul stage OMG tears every single time. Suga is known as The King of Swag lol
my favorite from suga beside shadow... gosh i have too many faves
This was great! Two things I love about his delivery are those sharp breaths and the quick vocal inflections/flips. It adds so much character and emotion to his performance.
Nice to see someone else point that kind of thing out instead of just how fast he is.
I'm so so happy that you're checking out the rapline! Rap has always been one of my favorite genres of music and most people don't realize that it is really difficult to rap (believe me I've tried lol), it takes technique and practice and excellent breath work. I've always wanted to hear a vocal coach analyze it to know more. This was great!
I loved this reaction! I love the way Suga sings this because as you said it sounds likes he's speaking to you and you just feel that connection. And thank you for noticing his dancing and commenting on it too!!! I don't know how he does it either lol
A superb analysis and explanation, Sam! I love your attention to detail and your blend of technical and layman's terminology. Your vocal demonstrations to illustrate sounds and techniques are so cool! I found myself during this video in particular wishing I had had you as my vocal coach when I was singing!
Suga is my fave cos he IS cool, super chill.. by now, I'm sure many may have shared that he's more a song writer than a singer. But I love your breakdowns! Keep them coming!
I was subscribed to your channel before I heard BTS and becamr Army so these reactions for me are a beautiful coming together of 2 things I love! 💜
Please react to his Interlude: Shadow
Pls do scott thorne!
Yoongi is brilliant! I love the way you perfectly uncover his skills! 💜
I just love this reaction video of yours☺ Suga's voice relaxes me all the time either he's singing or rapping😍😍😍 everything he does made me felt loved & relaxed as well💜💜💜💜💜
ı think you need to see "first love" he is just amazing
I love all of the observations you made about suga (without knowing him)seem to sum up his personality so well! Made me giggle. Loving your BTS content.
Love hearing your analysis! Seesaw is my favorite Suga solo song. I love the lyrics
If you want to hear a great rap line song where you can hear their differences and how well they gel together, watch the performance of TEAR. It’s absolutely amazing!!
Love the lazy but technical way to describe SUGA! But he is SO NOT LAZY! Love SUGA!
OH MY GOD. YOU TALK ABT THE DANCINGG, Finally someone said it🤧 Thank You so muchh😭💜
I know it's probably confirmation bias, but you pointed out nearly every feature that I notice & admire in his vocal performances, so I had a really great time watching this. Thanks for the thoughtful commentary. AND thank you for asking ARMYs what you should be watching! So often I see people reacting to certain things and I just want to grab the remote out of their hand and show them what's good.
Love how you reacted and dissect all the member's vocal techniques so well. Love how they are being appreciated. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Great video! I love how you pick up on the fact that language can effect how you have to approach some notes/words in terms of tone. If you ever react to more of Suga, I think you'll enjoy some of the stuff he does - he sometimes will rap from the perspective of someone or something else in his song and he'll change his voice accordingly. In the song First Love, for instance, he raps a small verse from the perspective of his piano.
Thank you so much for another great reaction. Love your analysis and break down of the songs and techniques. Really appreciate your respectful approach too, you don't judge, you just listen and analyse. Just, thank you for taking your time to react to bts. 💜
Love you so much, Sam! You yeeted out all the vocal coach reactions I've watched out the window. I'm on a binge-watch.
Hahaha love it 💜💪
I can't wait...... Hopefully it's the stage I'm thinking of
I like how much fun you always have with these Sam!
Before the video even started, the description cracked me up 😂
Same. 😂 So apt for Suga, who wants to be a stone in his next life.
SUGAAAAAAA MY BABIE
You are so perceptive. All you said about Suga rings true!
Please watch Cypher pt.2 by rapline :D
Love this song
Salvando la diferencia de idioma y aun con el traductor, usted es el vocal coach más didáctico que he visto, con excelentes y fáciles explicaciones en sus análisis. Siempre aprendo algo nuevo con usted. Dios le bendiga.
I love that you are actually listening for abilities and natural talents that go into a flawless smooth flowing rap song. That shows real maturity and professionalism, and respect for all forms of music. Well done! The only advice I would share is, to change the phrase “legit singing” as a way to describe full on broad whole note singing. We understood what you were describing between rapping and other forms of singing. But maybe find a different choice of words. Great review! Very educating! I really enjoy watching your channel! 😊😄
Cool, the word you're looking for is cool XD
His spoken voice is actually really low! People get surprised when they hear him speak. Please do Shadow too! He does sing and rap and is very theatrical, and you hear his low low register
I can’t wait! Seesaw is my favourite Yoongi songgggg :)
