➫ HI!
I am an actor and content creator with Hollywood credits including roles on Lucifer (Netflix), Starlight Christmas (Hallmark), JT Leroy (Universal Studios), etc. In this channel, I offer insight to Kpop performances using my 10+ years of training in dance, acting, singing and overall performance. In dance, my forte are contemporary and musicals and have done most of my performances in theatre. Although my channel is mostly known for dance analysis, I am currently inactive in the dance community.
Jungkook perfect vocals , perfect Dance moves and perfect facial expressions stole the show 💜
This generation's one of the best performer 🔥
JK vocals and visual🔥
Jungkook is a heck of a man. In fact the most beautiful man!!!! His dance moves are so good, they take my breathe away. Please react to more of his dance videos please
THIS is how you are supposed to voice out your opinion about missing BTS' earlier sounds. As you said, Jeff, it's all about preference and I agree with you. I'm just sad to know that some of the "fans" are unstanning just because they are doing English songs without getting the meaning and the purpose of why BTS is doing this rn. Thank you for your honest review Jeff! Looking forward to the dance practice reaction!! Always love your honest review!
edited: how can this comment got so many comments n likes???????
YESSS
EXACTLY < 3
Honestly I am happy that these fans are unstanning because of the english releases. If you quit a group who has sing 3 songs in english while they have more than 200 songs in Korean and 4 albums japanese sorry but you wasn't a fan at all if that's the case. Those people who quit were probably not the best fans to begin with.
@@isidnsl6651 maybe they don’t like they recent music anymore bc it changed a lot so they rather unstan them than being fake which is understandable
@@eri-py3pd oh right that make sense
Jungkook vocals dancing and visuals are insane. His hair, his Adlibs, his spinning was epic
BTS used sign language “dance, happy, peace” in their choreography :) and at the end of the MV there’s like the extra scene, it’s all of their staffs and it’s so wholesome :)
Oh my god I didn’t even realize that ipuntil you pointed it out this is amazing
Jungkook is everything!
JK's vocals and spin😍
Jungkook is a multi-talented mackne, he is the one who does the most for BTS, harmonies, adlibs, wonderful all-around artist and hopefully he will make a solo career.
Jungkook is such an amazing dancer, yep he's incredible. I love the way his moves are so powerful and fluid, he has strength but his moves are graceful as well I think! ✨
👏🏻💯
I agree how we miss old bts but lets not forget they just released on, blackswan, life goes on last yr.
this comment that everyone needs to see. its okay to feel like that, but they already have a lots of korean songs with many genre. and i hate the fact that (some armys) they call themselves an army but unstanning them just bcs they released 3 english song like ffs bts won't change their characters and their personality. it just them do whatever they wanted. who knows they enjoy this kind of music w/o feeling any pressure. it just the time that they needed to be relax, just enjoy the momment and having fun:')
p.s sorry if i'm too dramatic just want to share my opinion and no hate on you, i respect you^^
@@wintertae2395 agree. We dont consider them as armys. They are just casual listeners who must have listen to bts singles without even listening bts bside tracks. They didnt even know that bts has already 300 songs and they just throwing hate just because of bwl, dyna,butter and ptd.
Exactly! They are doing this for Armies around the world and might have felt that releasing their usual Korean song wouldn't have been appropriate for the situation the world is in right now. I understand the criticism, but BTS has been experimenting with their sound for years now and it's not just same old K-pop. They try out new things with every song.
As what Suga said, BTS is the genre. They do what they want to do to thier music. They are experimenting and they are evolving.
And BE album not yet released 1 year ago
Thanks for complimenting jungkook, as always he never disappoint me in every performance this young man are becoming more and more confident as he grow.
Jungkook is amazing 💜
My time by jungkook live , day 2 where he’s wearing the red skin tight suit with a plunging neckline animal print shirt …. He’s definitely dancing like a sexy af grown ass man and I would love to see your reaction to it!!! Also I’m SO glad you’re acknowledging jungkooks dancing and charisma… he really has come a long way and people are always weird about complimenting jungkooks dancing but he really stood out to me in this bc I can see how much he has grown as a performer and you can see he is confident in himself and owning the sexy this year and I’m so proud of him…. I’m definitely hoping you’ll do the live my time performance!!!
Jungkook voice, dancing and visual are insane. His hair style, his Adlibs, highnote like a heaven. and spinning epic. he's just perfect!
Facts
Don't forget the tats, tongue piercing and the upcoming solo! I don't think there is anything he can't do and make it look flawless!
I agree with you. It's okay to have different preferences. It doesn't make you any less an ARMY or supporter of the boys if you don't like every single song they make.
Jk popped OFF 😌💅 his SPIN????!?!??! I was shocked 😲
Jungkook just gives a Dancing King energy. He’s one of a few vocalists who can dance very well. He’s indeed good at everything & a total
package!
This is one of the first songs Jungkook didn't take the lead, but he still shone for me. When he waltz in with that all black fit, I lost it
Jungkook sang the intro
Jungkoook still number one in line distribution
Now I want to see Rock stars BTS... Jungkook vocals are on point ...in this Vedio jungkook, jimin, jhope are killing it
I agree with what you said, I missed their old music but I still enjoy their new sound and one of the things I love about Bangtan is their vast discography with genres.
I love your explanation after the reaction. I think we can all agree that many, and I mean many of us became an army from their older stuff. I became an army during Blood Sweat and Tears and the wings era. I too LOVEEEEE their hard hitting songs and I super excited when they released On after BWL which I will admit to not being my favorite song. But, as they have said, they want to try out different genre of music and they have always been doing that. It’s just they have their foot now in the western market and they are giving the western market exactly what the western market loves and that’s fun, upbeat pop. If anyone stops and thinks about the message that BTS sends, the emotions they want us to feel….we should all realize that they release music based on their life. Dynamite was released to try and cheer us up, BE coming out at the almost beginning of covid and it was a sad, very relatable album reflecting their feelings during the pandemic. Then Butter and now PTD being fun upbeat songs. Do we really think they are going to release and album right now…dark and heavy hitting and referencing literature during one of the worst times of our lives? I don’t think so. Just look at Mots7, they have yet to perform ANY of those songs live in front of real people. I think they are penning something great in the studio, there hasn’t been a BTS album that hasn’t had a purpose, that hasn’t followed a storyline so I just think we need to be patient and wait for them to release that and i feel it in my core that it’s going to be something great. They are global, and releasing songs globally to reach everyone.
Very well said.
THIS. VERY WELL SAID. PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND!!
Very well said👍
THIS
Well said... i am sick of telling people this constantly
I love how Permission To Dance MV features different people across the world, from various race and nationality,age,gender, students, and working adults etc. It's a beautiful manifestation of how music and art really transcends all barriers.
And their dance includes sign language! Transcends senses too 😌
Jungkook is not the center of the MV this time but he still stood out the most for me, his voice, visual, and dance move. And, Jungkook is always a great dancer and performer that triple spins was just a beginning, we just need to get ready for him to surprise us with his endless talent. And I think there's no rap part in this MV, all member were singing and I love how they bring us different genre songs to comfort their fans especially in current pandemic situation.
I love how not only did the song and MV revolved around the pandemic and the effects that it caused with humanity taking self protective care inclusion of the symbolism for the face masks, but also the diversity along with the variety of ages, backgrounds, races etc. Plus, the appreciation for the Frontline workers who've been working their butts off! for the essential needs & care that we as a whole need. I personally agree and appreciate your true opinion & thoughts upon BTS's sound! They're trying out new concepts, genres + themes, however I just hope that the group doesn't feel pressured to release a certain form of art in order to satisfy a particular audience.
Jungkook with the EMO look is so dope!🔥✨🖤
Jungkook is so good
Jungkook stole the show for me.
Same
SUGA has been saying phrase about falling and landing since 2018. "I'm afraid of falling but I'm not afraid of landing" - he said on multiple occasions, during interviews, festa, etc and now they used his words in this song
as an army for 4 years I dont have any songs that hated in bts songs and Im so happy that they are not afraid to try new genre
Same! Sometimes I’m like am I too biased?? XD It’s crazy to think about bc I know many ARMYs have some songs they don’t like. But I honestly do love all their songs. I trust BTS and their music. They were born to be artists 🥺
I have the same feeling as yours, I also liked their older songs a lot but I just feel them doing these kind of songs now is because of the pandemic. I feel they wanted people to have something to dance to or sing to easily that’ll make them feel good or just forget about the unpleasant things going on just for a little while. Songs like Dynamite Butter and Permission to Dance are those kind of songs and as it shows, the public really liked it
I agree with you theres a lot of hidden message in the MV
ْ they’ve already been expanding to the west even before they had english songs tho?
@ْ they already done alot in SK. From my pov, they want to expand more, try higher, next step. They already got the best achievements in SK. If they dont have any new challenge, they dont grew. Just stuck in that place. And I know bangtan likes challenge, theyre a real musician. Want to grow n grow more.
I respect that, and inspired by that. Always hungry for new challenge in life,exploring, and learn alot from it 😀
If wht you said happend (western never accepting fully), thats alright. They gonna still moving, and grow from it. With their own way.
Note:They're, from the start, entering western with their own team. Not being fazed with industries, with shorter road. Trying step by step, slowly growing. They grow happily.
Bts is already the biggest group in music. Alot of kpop groups are doing English songs. Its about expanding more. And making everyone happy.
Omg jungkook
Cute
Jungkook's always been good at what he does but still he's always working to get better and you can see it.
I heard Billie Eilish say something like: " If you miss the old songs, just go listen to the old songs, they are there and they won't go anywhere" It really made sense. I wish I could find the clip, if anyone does, please post it here.
The only time I get really bothered when people talk about their preference for the older music is when...
1. They act like they're somehow being forced to never listen to it again. It still exists on every platform... listen to it all you want. Like legitimately, ALL. YOU. WANT.
2. They romanticize the pain that lead to many of their favorite songs (like, say... Outro: Tear). Is it great that they had music as an outlet? Yes. Obviously... but to continue the example of Tear era, they were emotionally battered. The "angst" and "emo vibes" aren't fictional, they come from real human beings' lived trauma. There are few things I find less glamorous than that. Also... wanting to spread a message of joy and hope and inclusivity is a valid artist choice.
3. They act like there is something inherently wrong with the music because an artist has grown and evolved, just not in the way they want them to. I don't see the difference between them trying to force artists to stay in their box, based on their opinions and preferences, and anyone else doing it. Being a fan doesn't mean they get to oppress them by trapping them in a gilded cage
4. They link language with artistry/identity. We've spent 8 years trying to convince the GP that the fact that their lyrics are in Korean doesn't make them less artistic/impactful than their western, English-speaking counterparts... only to now be having the same argument with (non-Korean speaking) fans, just in reverse. Both are inherently problematic in nearly all of the same ways, but they don't wanna hear it and I have gone on long enough.
e-x-a-c-t-l-y
true.. and thank you for your comment.
certain songs at their own proper time. I'm sure BTS have a lot of songs that are as hardhitting as their classics..they may already have the next album after Map of the Soul 7 prepared.. but as they said.. All the plans 'were broken' by covid..
But during these difficult times.. they may want more relevant songs..
if they put out songs of the styles we're used to, but may not be appropriate for the current times.. the boys may even be considered as insensitive.
remember they were even able to come up with the BE album.. which while unplanned, is connected to or brought about by this pandemc.
These recent songs do not mean that they will be 'this way' moving forward... let's not box our boys in. Yoongi said they've been dealing with the pressure by adapting.. and trying their best in the current situation..
why is something as precious as PTD, this 'gift' which they've prepared for their fans ... being taken with such a light, just because it's another english song or a totally new style? im so sad..
Can we not all just be simply grateful... and celebrate this 8th year with sincerity and unity?
despite this corona afecting all our lives, the boys are still putting out projects and songs just to keep their connection with us
they have a lot of haters already. I know these guys are just being honest... But hearing these sentiments, however justifiable they are, only fuel the haters/antis to hate on BTS more... fans will defend their own differing opinions.. to the point of arguing back and forth in different platforms..
what image is this bringing to the world? here the boys are trying their hardest and most fans are also doing their best to spread the positivity and how BTS can inspire people.
but if those within the fandom themselves are not as open-minded as BTS... then we ourselves are defeating the purpose.
this is just my own opinion too. i just want say, that this song made me feel so warm and comforted. can we not all just be happy with this? Because this is what the boys want when they worked on this song.
Why do some people, even fans, need to bring any negativity? yes even this little bit of saying that their old style is being missed brings an iota of negativity - which in end only can bite us all back
These are special times, difficult times.. can we not be too 'inward looking' ...and remember that we are all part of this one big world for just this time?!!!
im sorry, i just have to say all that because im so frustrtaed with all the negativity that other 'fans' are giving off with their 'views'! This is not what BTS stands for
love, peace, good health to all
So true
LOUDEEEEEER 🗣️
Yes. I also stan bts because of their hard choreos but for me, considering their huge success in their career, i think there's no need to prove that they are the best damcers and singers. To think that they learned a whole new language and open an another phase of their music range, tbh that is more difficult than their hard choreos and I applaud them for doing that.
JUNGKOOK doing Michael Jackson move 🔥🔥
Permission to dance is simply a gift for armys from bts... and the fact that this song is really what the world needs right now and we all know what bts are capable of...they gave us so many iconic music and choreo driven mvs in the past...now bts's goal is to comfort and heal the whole world through their music and just wanna enjoy what they love to do without any pressure and we love it
Ya'll have been saying "this is just gift to armys" since three comebacks ago. At this point it's just an excuse. Hybe just doesn't care about anything else but mainstream success anymore. Basically they have sold out.
@@user-lj1mt1cr2e well, first of all bts nor us army don't have to give ANY explanation about ANYTHING at all! Second of all, those three beautifully and amazing songs you are talking about ARE a special gift, not only for army but for EVERYONE in the world, who needed something special and motivating during the pandemic. And third of all you saying that we are just saying it like some sort of excuse it's just funny and dumb. Soo please when you have in mind something like that, just keep it to yourself. Have a nice day.
@@sharonvaldez9283 Ok, keep being in denial. It will catch on at some point. The BTS most of us fell in love with does not exist anymore. Heartbreaking but true.
@@user-lj1mt1cr2e No, it's still them! Only that people like you can't accept it.
@@sharonvaldez9283 about half of the fanbase especially older fans agree with what they said. read these comments from army on reddit if you dont believe me. BTS is not the same anymore and has gone downhill with quality so bad just to make money, its very sad. www.reddit.com/r/unpopularkpopopinions/comments/ogn40z/megathread_bts_permission_to_dance/
What fans need to understand is artists can’t just stay the same as they were years ago, they grow up, they have to evolve and do different things and expand their tastes and even genres. I loved the fact that Joon, Yoongi and Hobi sang on this, I’ve honestly been waiting a long time for them to do this. Fans have to embrace the artistic evolution of their faves, it’s okay to miss the old stuff tho. And if the new stuff isn’t your cup of tea, that’s also fine.
exactly
Yes!!!!!
so well said. they were in such a dark place with all of their oldest releases, this is just a reflection of how they're feeling these days. it doesn't mean they won't ever make songs like that again
@@sofiamarques7278 exactly! Their mind states and experiences then are totally different than where they are today, it’s called evolution, evolving. Their music is a lot upbeat and happier because they are happier now. Artists music reflects their moods, even with Life Goes On, it was sad but it was what they felt in the moment and we all connected to it. Idk why fans can’t grasp that their favorites are human.
Hey, I really appreciated your analysis and explanation of their music and discography. No harm in you enjoying their older songs, I’m glad that there is something they’ve done for almost everyone and I think that’s one of BTS’s greatest strengths. (Also, pretty sure that in their next Korean studio album or after the pandemic, they would go back to the hard hitting songs you like 😊)
So glad that you enjoyed this song regardless, I’m more of a pop person, so this has quickly become one of my favourite tracks from them.
I have zero issues with their English tracks. BTS are releasing songs that they want and are happy. Permission to Dance brings so much positive vibes and happiness to me. And I love it.
I said this yesterday after watching the video, even though I like it, I miss the BTS that I have I come to adore so much but at the same time, it’s nice that they do these happy songs that put us in a good spirit, just Love the Magnificent 7 so much💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is my favorite of their English songs too! It makes me so happy
all of BTS choreographed got some big meaning .. there’s a sign language they did in this mv... 💜💜
That static sound at the end was actually the sound of the wind where they were filming. 🤗
I also miss their earlier sound. but still I love all of their releases 💜
Definitely there’s quite a lot of people who are missing the “sound of BTS” specially when this song came out and then there are those who really loved this. Fans can like and dislike songs because they’re only trying out things. It’s okay Jeff we understand haha
OMG, You just speak what I've thought about missing 'old' BTS :')
definitely jungkook is the best
People come into liking BTS for various things. Some like their hard songs, some mellow, some earlier hip-hop, some EDM, some the summer song vibes. I just wanted to say it's okay to not like a different phase of BTS, you can simply listen to their other songs. What I have a problem with is people saying this is not BTS, they have changed, their songs don't hit me like before. Now, this I disagree with. One thing that will remain the same through all BTS songs would be the purpose of their songs. They're constantly evolving, they incorporate different things, they experiment. But not once they have strayed from the purpose of sharing with their fans. From the beginning to the end they are constant in this. They put out music about what they are going through at a certain time and they may use different music styles for it. Whatever they are comfortable with. But the message is to communicate with their fans. BTS might give up doing hard choreography altogether if they think one member might not be able to keep up. They always think about what they can do as a group rather than what they can do to outshine individually. For which they stick to their mixtapes. Even if BTS decided to sit down and sing about their daily life in casual clothes, I will be there supporting them. They have given me enough for a lifetime. I hope there are other ARMYs who feel the same as me.
Your comments clearly expressed exactly how I have been feeling and you obviously thought carefully about how you phrased them. So, thankyou. I love the song. I think it is a beautiful positive message given as a gift to fans and I don't understand the vehemence of some peoples negativity when it is the absolute opposite of what these amazing young men preach. 😀
@ιDяεαмOғEυρнσяια I just trust that BTS and BIGHIT know what they are doing, I mean they haven't done too bad have they?😊
@ιDяεαмOғEυρнσяια I understand what you mean, I see it as a possible positive, I am hoping it means they are not going to carry on in English. As you say the songs they write themselves have so much more depth.🤔....and I am English, but I love dissecting the korean lyrics.
Thank you for sharing your honest opinion. I also miss their hard dance/rap songs BUT I really appreciate PTD SO MUCH!! I feel like they have matured and grown as the most influential artist, who are giving out HOPE to everyone (honoring disAbility people by using intl sign language in their dance moves).
Maybe before they were more about showing off their talents but now they find more joy in making people happy. I was so touched when I saw the movie. This is the message what world needs to hear now. Peace, JOY, & Positivity !!! As an old ARMY I am SO proud of them. They are more than just a super talented K-POP group. True artists who are making differences and understanding the weight of the crown.
So obsessed, they are just everything
i respect how you freely expressed your opinion knowing not all armys might agree which is completely fine. you exactly put my thoughts into words on missing their older sound but bts are artists of versatility; they almost never repeat the same thing twice. they always try to showcase something new and fresh for everyone to listen to and watch. i'm just glad that they are doing what they want to do and continue to evolve with their music. permission to dance is such an upbeat song but it did make me emotional as well. i guess the trio (dynamite, butter & ptd) are the hope and remedy we have in these trying times.
Some fans take this seriously in a differently level, to the point showing rudeness towards them. I respect your opinion Jeff, it is just fair, I do love their way earlier songs (hiphop & R&B). It is just sad how some believe that they losing their direction... for just those 3 recent english songs out of their 230+ songs... those 3 has been explained that they're light songs & not with heavy lyricism as their previous song... its cheerful & happy songs to stay with us while we are still in this pandemic situation... If people dont like it? It is fine with me at least be respectful & kind... remember that they poured out their hearts on it, as we all know their work ethics... their love & passion for music...
Thank you Jeff, I guess you understand it well as you yourself is an artist.
Jungkook was absolutely amazing here!! His lower register is so beautiful!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who got emotional! It made me cry…out of relief, hope, joy? I don’t know how to explain it.
2:54 when Jimin popped up and started singing I bawled😭That mans voice is everything! Also the ad libs he was doing, God his voice is a treasure. It touched my heart. His voice is just so beautiful and comforting🥺 Loved everything about this song it was such a fun feel song.
This was perfect. This song is so fun and happy. I love the BTS cowboys. At the end of the video it wasn't going rain it was the wind. Nothing is wrong with the audio. I love the sign language and the fun dancing. You can dance wherever you want and dance with whoever you want. Say good bye to wearing masks. It's slowly getting back to normal. What's next for the guys?
"It's slowly getting back to normal"- I honestly can't relate that at all lmao, I'm graduating online because of Covid restrictions (cries in no prom), all restaurants and non essential stores are closed, going without a mask in public is still illegal, and we're under a state of emergency with a curfew every single day. We still haven't recovered from the second wave, which says a lot lol. Hopefully 2022 will be different (for everyone, many still haven't come close to overcoming the pandemic even with vaccines being rolled out)
good for you
Ironically South Korea just started a level 4 lockdown yesterday because of surge in cases.
oh no that’s terrible 😱
just a thought about the heavy choreo that you are missing this last year and a half. we should remember that performances that they do should bring joy not only to us who sit by the screens, but also to them who dance and sing those song over and over again *without* an audience. i don't think it would be fair to go hard right now for all sides of the conversation? for them it'd be exhausting bringing a hardcore mood all the time without cheers to hype them. for us i'd be a bummer not to see in live the epicness they are able to bring. we are living in a weird times and bts chooses to make songs for all of us to smile, including them themselves. i am happy that they can enjoy their work by singing something joyful with a fun choreo while we aren't there to support them during performances
Hey Jeff, I loved your honest opinion. Thanks for that breakdown. Also, you were in a Hallmark or Lifetime movie, my mom was watching it and I said that's Jeff. I don't remember the name of it, but I was proud to see you. Keep going, you nice!!!!!
I think we may see less choreo moving forward because they're getting older, most of them closer to their 30's and it becomes harder to dance hard choreography. They've been honest enough to admit the struggle countless times in the past. And I also think they will continue to evolve and we will continue to see changes. I am sure there will be fans who will leave because the flavor has changed and there'll be new fans coming in as well who like the new flavor. That's just the natural flow of life.
And Yes, JKs dancing has evolved so much so that when he performs, its hard not to notice him even when he's in the back. His appeal is just off the roof these days since he turned 23. He is a natural and gives off that pop star vibe effortlessly. I can watch him perform all day.
I think everything you've said is true, except I disagree w the first part. I dont think the revert to less difficult choreography has anything to do with their age, 30 is still young (and they're not even there yet lol) and these are people that have been training and conditioning their bodies for 7 years+, so they can very very much still do hard choreo if they wanted. Personally I think its a matter of them being much more versatile and talented as artists now, especially vocally, to the point where they no longer need hard hitting choreo to help them sell songs. Also they are doing less Korean stages (inkigayo and all that) where the choreo comes into play for wins which they now no longer need. Finally, these last few songs are light and fun like Jeff said and therefore require less intense choreo the way super intense songs like On or Dionysus would need. I just wanted to put that out there :)
@@histfictfan4460 that’s funny 🤣, but I think they’re underestimating themselves , 2019/2020 had some of their hardest ever dances till date ( On and Black Swan) , and these were just 1-2 years ago, I think they can very much still dance but they’re just easing it down cuz of their current artistic direction and maybe just out of preference
Well yes but, 30 is actually young still, you should check out a latino singer, Chayanne, he's almost 60 and dances heavenly ❤️
@@histfictfan4460 exactly and otecsely because of it is that I say something. They can dance however their hearts see fit 😚 independently from what we say or think, besides, the Challenge is on it's way, inclusivity was the starting point and we need to ve able to dance 😚 it's amazing that someone can do it with the world 💜
@@histfictfan4460 Yes, I remember how they discussed on how dangerous it was becoming with how much they pushed themselves in preparation for the tour that didn't end up happening because of the pandemic. This is actually not a new topic for them, I really think it's coming down to preference and being able to recognize they don't always have to go down all the way, if this makes sense. They definitely still got it, as we can see when they perform Idol and other songs with hard choreo
I feel like they put out these kind of songs because of the time we are in now. We are for sure will be getting those heavy hard hitting songs in the future.
JeonJungkook
Yeah I understand what you mean, I totally do, but at the same time, I personally love PTD and the message it sends. To me, they released it at the perfect time, and in the perfect atmosphere for when it can be received by the wider population, not just ARMY. The amazing performance and dance that first drew me to BTS is lower, true, but their message of hope has stayed the absolute same. Honestly, I think they are just taking it easy on performance as a whole because SUGA has just finished recovering for one, and I remember the toll it took on them to film such energy-draining performances.
As time goes on, we honestly can't expect BTS to keep in top physical condition forever and be able to deliver the crazy performances they used to when they were younger - I remember them suffering chronically because of such dances and I'm for them choosing not to continue if they wished.
That said, I think BTS will always surprise us with their effort to want to please us, and keep coming out with amazing performances to the best of their ability'! While they get more comfortable with the English language enough to deliver the same deep lyrics they always do, and rap fire - they will undoubtedly keep releasing Korean and Japanese songs and ALWAYS keep true to themselves!
We just have to appreciate the good vibes they're spreading!
Love! xx
I agree to 100 % to what you said about there American music and I am kinda happy that you said it. I am often very scared to voice my opinion because many amrys understand it wrong and get angry. But I really loved this song it felt way more authentic to me and like the boys like it a lot them selfes :D keep going Jeef I love your honest reactions
I understand and respect that you love their old stuffs more, but they can’t repeat the same concept. I feel like they are happier in this era. Sometimes music can bring you down especially if it is dark. I love to see them happy so I don’t want them to go through the dark time again. They write lyrics base on their current situation, and it’s good to know they are at a happy stage in their lives. I am hoping they will do rock in the the future.
girl they’re selling a corporate image to you, of course they are going to look happy. it’s teeny bopper auto tuned disney crap that they think is mainstream and doing well in the US, when in reality doja is killing it
@@user-yn9os7uc1v They have been in this business for 8 years, and I am sure they know what is mainstream. This this not mainstream or something that will be popular on the radio. Sounds like you know nothing about BTS; they are already mainstream and famous around the world before they sing in English. Besides, what keep them going for this long is their goal. Nothing is wrong for them trying to achieve their goal before enlistment. Why are you even here if you are not their fan? If you don’t waste so much time on BTS and go support Doja, maybe she will be killing it. It’s funny how other fandoms are so concerned about BTS. Also, if you think your artist doesn’t use auto tune for effect, you are in denial. Why don’t you try auto tune and see if that makes you a great singer? You are so outdated with your thinking that you don’t even know what’s auto tune used for. You are the type who likes to generalize. You don’t know my gender and age, and you called me “girl.”
i don't mind what they're doing now, i just can't vibe with their newer songs. they aren't my style, but i can always listen to their older songs
Well said Jeff! Yes we do miss their older sound but I am so amazed at how far they have grown with their musicality and choreography. They're trying new things as an artist should do. They really showed off their vocals here, even the rap line shine! The MV does make you emotional specially seeing the "Welcome Back" signs and people removing their masks. BTS did it again, making healing music.
Kudos to your honest review. Waiting for the dance react vid! :)
I think what's also important to remember is that they are also known for their wide range of music genres. They will never limit themselves to their English sound of music!!
This song literally put the biggest smile on my face!!!!!
You worded it out so well 🥺🥺 love your genuine reaction thank you for this 🥰🥰🥰
Jeff you need to watch the live performance of this. Jimin looks so so happy performing
I really appreciate you being so honest about your views on their new music. I personally totally agree with you. I really love Blood, Sweat and Tears, Fake Love and ON. Although I find the vibe that they are going for doing English songs really cute, it's not my personal preference. I also love their songs with complex lyrics and meanings and I'm a little sad that's not present as much in their English releases (but of course it's understandable since it's not their first language). I really like your emphasis on still respecting them as artists and also of course still being a fan. I feel the same way. Just bc I don't resonate with these particular songs as much doesn't mean I suddenly unstan them. I still love them and really respect them for constantly trying new things! (Btw I also feel like we shouldn't forget that they released MOTS and BE not long ago.)
I think something to remember about what is happening with bts right now is the pandemic. Here in the US things are slowly getting back to business as usual… everything is opening up but a lot of places are not bc they’re at a completely different stage. Bts had to put off the mots7 tour got cancelled and they have said that they want to start with that tour as soon as they can… and so they’re going to still finish off that which had barely started. So the songs they’re making currently are purely light , up lifting songs that don’t have crazy choreo or substance bc if they released the more typical sounds that they typically have done… they would be putting out music that they couldn’t do much with and especially with having to finish the original tour first…. They would be releasing songs that they probably wouldn’t be doing tours for for like a year and a half… probably 2 years. So basically like butter and ptd are filler songs to give army something…some content that’s easygoing and light bc that’s exactly the intention of them for this time period while it’s still up in the air how long it would take to even begin to tour again. Like the songs that they heavily promote with more meaning , deeper lyrics, rap and more in depth choreo… it’s just a bad spot bc they’re in limbo. Once i heard about the whole tour thing and what they’re waiting to do and the reasons … it makes sense to release songs like this . I honestly think that the songs are in English is bc they know that this would not be the standard for kpop in Korea… they’re are certain elements and expectations with the genre that bts has been breaking those boundaries for a long time and it’s why they’re is such a wide variety of army bc of their versatility. They can’t put out a new album before this other tour…. Or not til it starts back up but realistically it’s really tough to know how it’s going to work..: if that makes sense. Basically they’re waiting to figure out mots7 to take the next step with their new album bc they’ve talked about one… but it’s not this one. These are just cute fun little bits of joy and swag so we have something. This was definitely not what I was expecting after butter so it threw me off and I want sure how I felt about it… but after seeing them do it live and hearing how amazing the live vocals were for all of them… especially the vocal line.. they sounded crisp and clear and each had vocal runs which typically only jungkook does them bc but of the stability of him… and his ad libs and vocals live and how powerfully he is dancing is amazing. Once I went back and watched the video again and caught all the special little nuggets of things left for army to relate to the journey… it tugged at the heart strings for sure. I actually really like the song now and it’s impossible for me to not smile when I hear it !!! I’m definitely a fan of the music the way they’ve always made it. I really do think the whole English song thing is bc of the difference in releasing a song here in the US as opposed to Korea… different standards. But I see the hard work the boys put in and give everything they can every time and doing sign language in the dance and promoting that July is disability month… there’s so much symbolism in the music video but a different way unless you’re an army. Not everybody is going to see it that way though and that’s fine… I just think people really are forgetting the big picture about what bts does and how they do it… thinking about the timeline and what has to be done before they can release another album… it’s not them just solely focusing on the US bc it’s all that matters to them… it’s a business strategy during a time where there’s been nothing but uncertainty. They’ve been killing them selves for a decade to give us some of the most incredible content and performances… obviously they’re not just switching that out only focusing on the us to be on top… just an effect of the pandemic. They’ve been doing this for 8 years… they’re still bts and just think ppl writing them off bc they don’t love one song is really disgusting and sad… so everything else you’ve loved them for means nothing bc of 2-3 songs? Those ppl never were army… you don’t turn on ppl like that. Look at the big picture
I agree, as an army since “we are bulletproof” I have seen them grow and experiment with a lot of sounds, this song took me a few listens but I ended up loving it, the message is beautiful and it makes me happy because I think we need cheerful and hopeful music nowadays with all that is happening, I have to say that out of their three english releases this one made me miss their older sound more, it made me feel really nostalgic
Also, hearing Yoongi sing really got me omg, I remember when he used to joke around singing as if he really couldn’t but now he’s FLEXING those vocals
Your comments is so good. That's maturity as long time fans too. I got excited about BTS since their Wings album and boy have their music styled changed. They are true artists and as fan I appreciate their artistry and willing to step into different genre, and did an amazing job too. So happy to see the rapline went full-on singing because they can. Check out their live performance too. The growth in this group is exponential.
Last clip is a bonus track kinda like. Bts and thier crews are dancing and what you are hearing is the strong wind.
You voiced the opinion I have that I'm too scared to talk about on Twitter cause I already know people will jump down my throat. I really enjoy this song, I LOVE the visuals of this mv and they look/sound amazing! I just do...miss their old sound, yes.
I love everything about them.. both new and old music. No complain.. their songs give me comfort. #ThankYouBTS 💜🙏
JK🔥
Agree with what you said, Fake Love makes me an Army so i miss that kind of song. But i can see why the release Permission to Dance, new genre and they did well too!! The vibe in this song is great, i really want to see their live performance. Because the vocal is just so good! And their genre diversity when you look back at it, is really wide. Sometimes people forget that, its really hard to have a wide range of genre
I'm a fairly new baby army, butter era in fact, but i have listened to some of their old albums and i do agree that the old songs are better than what they are releasing so far (dynamite, butter, PTD). Concept wise, melody, choreo, and all are definitely better but I guess, their songs right now are just a strategic way for them to enter the global music scene, the American music scene to be specific, and knowing that they are aiming for a Grammy after losing the first one adds into it as well.
Come to think of it, they have already established themselves in the kpop world after 7 years. They really don't have anything to prove anymore in that area besides being a kpop group who can also make it globally. However, it's kinda sad that they had to adjust into a prejudiced awards show (by releasing full english songs) just to "fit in" but trying to break/stop an unjust system like the Grammy's would take years and they definitely don't have time for that. Them (Hybe labels) also acquiring or buying Ithaca holdings (Scooter Braun's company where Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande is also in) is also a strategic way into hollywood so you see there's really a global aim.
I think it's really not that bad plus it's a good way for them to expand and be inclusive of their international fans as well since many have supported them even in their korean songs for almost a decade. It's definitely a win-win situation for both them and the international fans. Plus as you said, they are artists. Artists explore and there is no limit to what they can create. Music has no boundaries. I just really don't get the other old Armys (not u okay haha) who are complaining about 3 full english songs as if it's end of BTS. It's not. Let's support our Bangtan boys in every milestone.
Hello baby army ☺️ love what you’re saying but in the part where your saying that it’s ‘strategic to get in the American music scene’, I have to disagree with you there because BTS have always stated that they make the music regarding the point of their lives their in and in PTD they showed the release and pressure that they get from the industry in itself showing that they truly don’t need Permission to do anything! Singing in English for them doesn’t highlight them wanting to make it in the industry that they are already big in it’s just simply what they have a feel to do at the moment! Just like they’re Japanese songs and albums it’s the exact same with English! I’m not being mean by all means just kindly explaining why I don’t think they’re doing it to fit in to the American media because if that were the case they would’ve done it sooner instead of struggled for years with “Western validation”…have a good day army and I truly hope you keep supporting our boys!! 💜☺️
@@abrosa_04 i'm dont claim to know them by heart bec im a baby army but I'm also not saying that they want "Western validation" bec as u said PTD shows that they can make it without pressure and all. It could be a way to just expand for all we know. We won't truly know their reason for releasing 3 consecutive Eng songs unless they say it themselves. I guess im just pertaining to strategy for music releases as a way to expand more like they did with dynamite, and they're just adding fuel to it. So many new army emerged bec of dynamite, they probably knew it too, and that's okay. I don't really think that's a bad thing 🥰 The old songs are always there and they don't lose the ability to write songs of the same vibe and concept as before.
To end this, i remember min yoongi saying when asked what's diff with kpop from Western music, he said "It's just music. It's the same. Same thing." Anyway, thank u so much for your kind reply i hope every discussion is like this. 💜 Borahae
Totally agree. Everyone will have a favourite track or album, but it doesn't make you less of a fan to prefer one sound over another. I think one of my favourite things about them is that they refuse to conform to a style or genre. No matter your taste there is a BTS track for you.
I've seen a few fans being sulky about the English tracks, and others sulking because they absolutely love the English tracks and don't like them being criticised. It's good to remind everyone that you don't have to like everything equally, or at all. So long as you remain respectful it's all good. 💜
For me this has High School Musical vibes (in the best way), and it makes me happy. I think it's tied with Butter as my favourite of their English tracks, with Dynamite very close behind. In terms of personal preference I would choose their Korean tracks over the English ones, but I still enjoy the English tracks.
The rap line is coming for the vocal line, haha! Especially Buff-joon, I mean Namjoon. :P
This BTS era of releasing their passion projects and not care about following their previous formula is what I live for! We started with “Dynamite” where gave us a bop to cheer us up during lockdown, to “Permission to Dance” where they are telling us to hold on a little longer and keep staying together- we’re almost through this. 🥲
I really miss your reaction videos to BTS. Thank you for that beautiful reaction. Stay safe.
It's wind at the end because it is the raw sound in the mic in the behind the scenes clip dancing with the crew.
The rapline as you probably know as an Army have expressed that they wanna sing too so I'm so happy that they are doing what they want. They sounded amazing!
It's great that they do exactly what they want, just like they have from the beginning. Learning instruments, learning english, having fun etc etc. I love it and they are not stopping doing choreo and Korean songs and they will continue rapping too.
Something I looooove about BTS is they do what they want they do not have to, they want to do it.
And it's great to see people who love the rapline loves to hear them sing, I haven't seen anyone yet complaining about it but I've herd about it alot that there are people complaining about the songs being in english etc. and I think they have chosen the wrong group to be a fan of if they think BTS are just gonna do what they have seen of them before. They are 7 artists with amazing creativity and they love to try new things.
People don't have to like every song, most of us probably have some songs, new and old that isn't really to our taste but people complaining and saying bad stuff can just leave, BTS deserves better. It's so simple, if they do not like one or a few songs there are still over 200 songs to listen to.
I don't think it was our audio - Jn had a live mic in his hands and it was catching the wind.
Thanks for your honest opinion and the way you stated it respectfully. I'm a huge IDOL, Dionysis, FIRE, DOPE, Baepsae, CYPHER fan and Yoongi stan. I absolutely LOVE this song. I also miss the rapping and intensity - but this song feels SO RIGHT for this moment! I'm glad they know how to read the room, and reach out to new fans with different styles.
When the PTD teaser dropped.. I didn't like the music I liked the vibe. But when the MV dropped.. The best way to describe is I felt warm. I was smiling all the time. The song made me feel everything is gonna be okay. I'm gonna be okay even if I fall sometimes. That's all PTD is to me.
However I have no problem with other people not liking it. We all are entitled to our own music taste and opinion. It's okay if we don't like some songs of our favorite artist. At the end of the day we all have our comfort songs. For some, PTD isn't that song. For me, it is a feel good song.
All listeners are entitled to like or dislike certain songs. But what isn't right is either hating the boys or hating others whose opinion doesn't match with us. So the bottom line is.. Yes, I personally loved PTD and I'll come back to it when I'll need a little pick me up from bad mood.
thank you for voicing out your opinion. i've been crying the whole time while you're saying your opinion bc i can relate so much to you. it's not that we don't love what they're doing but we can't help but miss their past vibes :( hugs jeff!
I really do miss the old bts songs like how they comfort me in those ways but I guess they just need to try other concepts and it's okay cause bts still gonna slay with anything!!
I feel the same way Jeff. I love that they're making fun happy music right now but I miss their earlier sound as well 💜
2:23 Jungkook visual + turn !!
More than Dynamite and Butter which were happy songs, Permission to Dance offers hope and inspiration to beyond the global nightmare that is COVID 19 which is why the surprise emotional connection to this song especially how it ends with communities throwing off the shackles of the dreaded mask . Places like Thailand, India, Philippines which are especially suffering can see hope from this song .
EVERYONE, you have probably realized this by now that this is MORE THAN A SONG. It is hope . It is joy. It is healing . It is light at the end of a dark cave . BTS has done it again emotionally connecting us with their message .
THIS IS PURE BTS no one can convince me any different. FIGHT ME
that sound is just wind blowing
I respect your opinion. I feel they decided to go "light" because of the heaviness we have all experienced with Covid. This is the right time to do these songs. To lift our spirits. This is an Anthem for the world! Their desire to be inclusive is heartwarming and joyful. No one was left out. An honestly and sadly this is the only way they can win a Grammy. If I was on the Grammy committee I would nominate this song or Butter for song of the year!!!!.Also, they are older and even Jimin said in an interview...we won't always be able to dance at this level, but we can always sing. They are in a new era. They can't wait to perform Live. RM said the first song they will perform will be "On" because they never got to perform it live for Army. Again, I respect everyone's opinion about this song. But BTS is always going to do it their way because it has always worked the best for them. They have been critiqued their whole career. They are used to it. They know they will "go out" on top. But on top their way. Thanks for your honest reaction. I hope Army respects you and everyone with this opinion. Speaking your Truth is what BTS "preaches". They respect and honor your Truth!!! God Bless!!
Yessssss I agree with all you said! I didn't know them before 2020, but i "miss" the old songs too, but I totally understand their choices, mostly in this pandemic, is a song that brings a lot of light and hope
this is the thing I have been wanting to say for a long time. thank you for representing us. I love the boys very much and will never unstan them but I miss the k pop element in them.
I agree with you. But music evolves. So let's just enjoy their music! 💜
I really love the way you expressed your opinion. I feel like you get “attacked” a lot when you say something like that. And I do not understand why since it’s all just a music taste that is different from person to person. I honestly love everything they’ve done yet and they never disappointed me. But I am also a big fan of darker concepts like Fake Love or aggressive concepts like Mic Drop etc. At the same time, I also love that they are trying new things and I know that they are releasing happy songs especially because of the pandemic.
Besides the fact if I agree or disagree with you, I definitely think that you have the right to think like that and as I said, it is just an opinion and everyone might think differently. But unfortunately a lot of people hate on others when they say they missed these concepts as if they are saying that the new music is bad or said something bad about the boys or something… 💜
@TheGenreIsBTS 0613 let them leave they will be easily replaced.
@TheGenreIsBTS 0613 yes, i know exactly what you mean and I’ve seen a lot of these, which is really sad because 1. it’s their right to make the Music they enjoy themselves 2. they love ARMY so much so they are doing so much for them through this music 3. the People can still go and listen to the old stuff if they don’t like the new one. So I definitely agree when it comes to such people. But when it’s just an opinion while you still love and support the boys, I don’t think it’s a Problem to say what kind of music you prefer… 😊
