Jimin is really a born performer haha don't worry you aren't alone. A lot of us turned BTS fans after Jimin drew us in. Jimin loves telling stories through his dancing and songs and i think you might enjoy that! Would love for you guys to check out Set me free pt2 and Like Crazy by Jimin both very different styles!
You really need to check out a live performance of this! They did one for the Jimmy Fallon show (filmed in Seoul) at a heritage site. Jimin is my bias for that same reason. I am absolutely OT7, I LOVE them ALL, but Jimin holds a special place in my heart. My eyes just always found him first. NOTHING beats being in a crowd of 52K ARMY jumping and screaming, "You can't stop me loving myself!"
Once you Jimin you can't Jimout. You should check out the live MMA 2018 performance. Jimin was awarded for his fan dance by the Kim Baek Bong Korean Fan Dance Conservation Society for raising awareness of the Korean fan dance. If you look into it this song has a deeper meaning behind it, as most of their songs do. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Korean media named jimin stage commander , stage genius , Korea front man , Korea pride and so much other names cause he's so mesmerizing on stage and so captivating
Yes u are right, Jimin has this strong stage presence and we call it MAIN CHARACTER vibes and youre just under the JIMIN EFFECT just like other reactors and fans. But he is the most humble and polite artist u can find.
Jimin is an INCREDIBLY talented and charismatic performer! You are experiencing the "Jimin effect," lol! He's gonna become your bias, you can't help it! 💜 Apobangpo! Idol is a multi-genre song, it's another musically groundbreaking work. 🙂 Thanks for watching the video!
At least you are not in love with Jimin jet 😜 but he is really captivating 😍 some guys are questioning their sexuality when they see Jimin. He has a charisma that applies to almost Everybody 😊
OMG.. Scott JimIN... so funny. It happens.. It is unavoidable. Jimin has that effect on people in general, female or male...there is something about him that captivates. Not my bias but I do love him very much. I loved Sam's reaction!!! This song is going to stay in your heads for a while, so catchy. Now, Scott is also right saying that it may not be his favorite song, It is one I love but not my very favorite. I wish you had watched a live performance of this song; they way they dance and sing at the same time is just beyond words. Thanks guys! Love from Chile.
Reactors: I don't know why but i keep seeing him... (Jimin) ARMY: ATTENTION! Attention! Jimin got another one! I repeat, Jimin got another one! Yes sir, that my friend is called THE JIMIN EFFECT The ARMY lore will teach you that ONCE YOU JIMIN, YOU CAN'T JIMOUT!!
Idol was released in 2018 and is full of symbolism and references to their journey as BTS up till that point. Eg The scene where they are all sitting down at a table is similar to the scene in Blood Sweat & Tears mv. Scott : there’s an ARMY saying “ once you Jim in you can’t Jim out” :)
LOVE JIMIN! ❤❤❤ they are all so great but I feel you; Jimin's charisma is felt even through the screen! My eyes get pulled to him too even before I knew anything about him! But yes this video was crazy and ridiculous and a clap back at allllll the critiques and hate they were getting! So they went crazy 😂 LOL WHICH IS AWESOME. They were like "we are too much for you? WELL HERE IS MOREEEE OF EVERYTHING"
This song is a response to a lot of criticism: lack of color or too much color; lack of culture elements or too much... people always find something to spread hate. Well, they decided to "elevate" all the critics to the maximum level! 😂😂😂 And, to me, the outcome was simply awesome!
Yes! Also, it works as a parody of what Westerners assume KPOP MVs look like. BTS gets lumped in with that stereotype, even though they don't fit it. This was Lumpens' (the MV production team), chance to say, "OK, everybody who ignores our groundbreaking narrative work because you think this is what KPOP is - I'll show you that x100."
Yup. BTS’ team took “over-the-top” and multiplied it by 7. 😂 Still, there is “a method to the madness” bc as usual most element serve a purpose (such as fueling fan theories).
Did you mean MMA 2018? If, then I agree - but ONLY if they watch the entire performance. Please don’t pick a video that only has Idol. The impact of MMA 2018 is the overall performance, not Idol on its own.
Everything in this mv, including what is on the table at the beginning to the end represents Korean culture, and BTS even the clothes, dance, and hand movements. Giving homage to South Korea. Watch an mv on what all is in this mv.
But not only Korean culture, it also references African culture in the suit fabrics and in dance moves, and scenes reminiscent of Bollywood, as well as many references to criticisms made to them personally (V’s glasses, RM’s filters, J-hope and the noodle balloon man, Suga’s Snow White jumper, to name just a few). In fact, the explanation video really only covers about half of it!
Adding to the recommendation to watch the 2018 MMA show version. They showcased traditional Korean performing arts, and there had to be 100 people on stage: drummers, lion dancers, etc.
the thing you said about now being able to take your eyes of jimin, that was the exact same thing that happened to me. this song was my gateway to BTS. i had to google who he was after that and in every video without knowing it, my eyes would fall on jimin again, even if they changed in appearance. i could still tell it was him because of his movements. he is campitaving and i heard so many reactors and army talking about the same thing.
Jimin catches people left and right! He is captivating! My suggestion is this. Check out BTS performances at MNET / MAMA award shows..... 2018, 2019... maybe even earlier. While watching, try to remember that it is not a BTS concert but an award show! They kill it!! Idol at the award shows is unbelievable! There are soooo many great performances. Narrowing down the list is impossible! Good luck!
Please watch some of their live concert performance as well- Dope+ silver spoon ( baepsae) + fire+ idol And another one- dope+ baepsae +fire+ Run. Kpop Award shows live performance- MAMA 2018,2019,2020 MMA 2018,2019,2020 You will love to watch their live performances and their stage presence is always being amazing. Please do react to it.
The reason for all the cgi is the haters would say they use a lot of cgi and so Bts said hold my beer 😂😂😂 this live is incredible!! The message is the best though 💜
Hi Scott, you're not the only one whose eyes are always drawn to Jimin's presence. The same thing happened to me, and I think watching Jimin's fancams was a bad idea because now my eyes are glued to him. lol. But all seven of them are so precious. I think they glow perfectly when they're together.
My FAVORITE live performance of IDOL is Jimmy Fallon during the pandemic where they shot at the Korean palace wearing the traditional Korean clothes, hanbok. (The other Jimmy Fallon performance is good too, where both of V's shoelaces became untied & he still danced the entire song without tripping!)
One thing the DKDK video won't cover is the personalized f-yous in the video. Suga was always told he was too pale: wears a Snow White sweater V was told his glasses were ugly and his heart shirt was dumb: Those are definitely what he's wearing here, lol RM was ripped on for playing with filters: hence the animal filters j-hope was told he was too cartoony and unserious to be a rapper: hence the Bugs Bunny sweater Jimin is too feminine: give that boy a fluffy fan and a seductive line Etc etc etc LOL
This MV is full of references to Korean culture and the trajectory of BTS. It also sends a message to the haters in different ways, not just in the lyrics of the song, but in details of the MV like when, for example, V passes through a crowd, a reference to the crowds of army men who follow BTS.🇧🇷💜
This a powerful song and the symbolism is extensive. You should watch: BTS - IDOL explained by a Korean. During Golden Disk Awards show, while Idol groups were sitting on the stage, BTS performed this song the stage actually shook from their dancing. When they perform it live, which I prefer to watch, they are FIERCE.
There is so much meaning behind the song and the MV. You have to react to an explanation video. And it's the ultimate love yourself song. I don't care about what you say I love myself.
Oh Jimin.... he's just an angel, mochi, chimmy, lovely-cutie-sexy, and when you Jim-IN you definitely can't Jim-OUT.... and we love OT7/all the 7 members, but Jimin --- oh my oh my
"For some reason, whenever he's in the scene, I always see him" - that's totally how you find your bias, lol. When my friend was getting me into BTS, I kept being like, "Wow, look at that one!" and she'd say, "That's V!" and then the next video I'd be like, "I really like that one!" and she'd be like, "That's the same one as last time!" and it just kept on like that, and sure enough, several years later I remain a V bias. 😊
MV is full of Korean symbolism...they're wearing modern hanbok, the rabbit in the moon is part of our Korean folklore, the tiger is a symbol of Korea....just to name a few
Jimin is "cute as a button" (An American saying) and was my first bias because of that and I loved his dancing, too. Now, he is only one of my 7 biases. Each one has something different and endearing that will catch my eye so my bias changes quite often these days. 💜
This MV is a clap back at haters who criticized BTS for many reasons. There is another explained video for this MV if you're interested in all the references in it.
Hello Mr Sam and Mr Scott. Thank you for the energetic reaction. IDOL was actually a song against all criticism they faced. A lot of emphasis has been given to Korean culture here and they had reasons for that. But yes you are right they are master in transitioning between languages be it Korean and English or Japanese and English.. They have different Genre of Music in their catalogue, this is a very bright song and i know to some it might not appeal (As Mr Scott said compared to other song he did not like it so much). That is the charm of BTS they have a never ending cauldron where there is something for everyone. I hope as you go on this journey you unravel more of their creation which you will def like.
There's an excellent explanation by a Korean on DKDKTV. There's so much imagery that non-Koreans miss. And I think we have a new Jimin bias. If your eye often goes to one person, that's who your bias is! 💜
Hey you guys make my day with the BTS reactions 💜 I think my father would have loved them 💜 💕 You know Idol wasn't one of my personal favorites but it has grown on me, now I love it!
You should see them do this live and ARMY joins right in! ( LOL, once you Jim-in you can't Jim-out. Everyone loves Jimin. All the korean symbols are meaning ful, if you don't watch the explanation video on this one, you really miss out.
I think one of the reasons BTS made this song is that they were receiving a lot of criticism at the time that they were becoming too westernised ( although how this was different from other kpop groups at the time, I’m not sure). Anyway, there is a lot of symbology in this MV, it’s quite fascinating, so it’s worth watching one of the videos explaining it. If there is one by DKDKTV, they are good.
Jimin always gives his all on stage and, above all, as an artist, it is incredible to see him dance and sing with his charming voice that we all love 🔥😍
So you HAVE watched Taylor Mari’s “A Guide to BTS Members”: The BANGTAN Seven?! From the beginning they were made fun of, shunned, laughed at, dismissed. THEN THEY STARTED MAKING IT BIG! This song is yet another dis at those folks & their derisive, disrespectful, remarks and actions as they tried to derail these FANTASTIC, GIFTED, YOUNG MEN! BTS stuck together and worked extremely hard to prove them wrong & learned to LOVE THEMSELVES, both individually and as brothers. Once they had learned this, they began to FIND ARMY & CHANGE US & TEACH US HOW TO LOVE💜👑
The "Jimin Affect" is alive and well. lol, Guys, it would be really nice if you could watch some of the explaination videos to these songs. So much meaning....Thank you for giving BTS your time. Borahae! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hello gentlemen, how are you? There's a performance of Idol on the Jimmy Fallon show during covid,where the boys are all in modern hanbok. It's done at Gyeongbokgung Palace,live. Quite beautiful. You can watch it on your own,I know it could get blocked. Thank you for sharing 🤗💜🫡
This mv has a lot of symbolisms...I hope you check the explanation ofnthe MV...check also the live performance of Idol form 2018 MMA... ypu will love the whole production and the K9rean culture twist...plus 3J's (JK, Jimin and Jhope) special dance breaks
The video was a master class in giving as many f-yous to the haters per frame than any video I've ever seen. Not just the Korean idioms are that jammed into it, but the personal nanny-booboos they have in their wardrobe, dance moves, props, and gestures. This was the classiest way to tell everyone who's ever crapped on them to piss off. LOL
It’s a song with a lot of significance because they are celebrating their culture and their pride, it has a lot of details that only Koreans would get which holds a special place and has that old music and history mixed with a very catchy, danceable and modern sound. BTS does this very well in other songs too. Thanks for reacting! Loved the edit at the end with the lights and music when one of you guys sings! 😂
I would love to see you react to this dance practice as the choreography is insane. Also if you get a chance to check them out live you won’t be disappointed!
You should their Award Show performance with the introduction solo traditional Korean Dance's they did one of which is an Traditional Fan Dance by Jimin.
U really need to watch the explanation video for this one …. It is so fun!!!! Plus the live MMA 2018 of Idol will blow your mind…. They put on a performance like you will never see here in the States! It is legendary!!!
You guys are awesome! Love your honest reactions to BTS songs. Their performance of Idol on Melon Music Awards in 2019 or MMA 2019 is one of their most iconic performances, you should check it out. Thank you once again 💜
You are definitely not alone. Jimin was the first to capture my attention too. The phenomenon is known to ARMY as “the Jimin Effect” and the phrase “Once you Jim-in, you can’t Jim-out”. Gender/age/etc. seems to matter little. There are endless (often hilarious) compilation videos highlighting it, from babies to seniors. This is one of those songs/music videos where an explanation video is virtually required for non-Koreans because it’s packed with cultural elements that add several layers to the meaning beyond the surface (still important!) “I don’t care if you criticize me, I love who I am/who I have become”.
This wasn’t my favorite at first, but it’s top five now because of the live performances. Also, there are tons of Korean cultural references in it and now that I know about them, it makes it super interesting. It’s also a clap back to people who say their videos are all CG, they were like Oh no, THIS is what all CG looks like. Ty!
Hi guys. It must be taken into account about Idol that it is a song loaded with symbolism both in images, costumes, narrative, lyrics and in concept. And in the most superficial of its intentions it is still an almost guttural and satirical response to a pride acquired after many personal struggles for being idols, a profession considered superficial and prefabricated that opposes the naturalness of being a singer or rapper. In this topic they are proud of their choices and artistic career in which they have given the idol image a much more artistic, committed and recognized dimension (the result of their own achievements) where being an idol implies being singers, rappers, dancers, composers, lyricists and much more. Greetings from Argentina.
This was not my favorite song on first listen either. I didn’t LOOOOOOVE it until I saw it in a live performance. It is now my favorite song to SEE live. There is nothing like being in a crowd of 50,000+ ARMY and hearing them all sing “You can’t stop me loving myself” at the top of their lungs! It’s EPIC!!!
Idol grew on me a lot. The video was honestly so over the top that it overshadowed the song. Of course now I understand the purpose of the video, but I didn't at first. I agree, it's perfect for concerts!
Jimin is a phenomenal performer🔥
Согласна!🐥
Jimin is very captivating. Once you JimIN, you can’t JimOUT!
The Jimin effect is very strong so we just embrace it.😄
JIMIN is very humble person also he has very unique voice & he is king of kpop Dance
Jimin is really a born performer haha don't worry you aren't alone. A lot of us turned BTS fans after Jimin drew us in. Jimin loves telling stories through his dancing and songs and i think you might enjoy that! Would love for you guys to check out Set me free pt2 and Like Crazy by Jimin both very different styles!
As Army always say, “once you JIM-IN, you can’t JIM-OUT” 😁
You really need to check out a live performance of this! They did one for the Jimmy Fallon show (filmed in Seoul) at a heritage site. Jimin is my bias for that same reason. I am absolutely OT7, I LOVE them ALL, but Jimin holds a special place in my heart. My eyes just always found him first.

One you JimIN you can't JimOUT 😂
He is an incredible performer! I was the same, like I can't help where my eyes go!
JIMIN…ah, ah, ah! SAME here: he’s ALL I SEE! Except during BAEPSAE: JHOPE…WOW! 💜👑
It's called the JIMIN EFFECT 💜
BTS's IDOL performance at AGT was the place I became a Jimin fan!!!! He is magnificent durimg every IDOL performance 🔥
OMG.. Scott JimIN... so funny. It happens.. It is unavoidable. Jimin has that effect on people in general, female or male...there is something about him that captivates. Not my bias but I do love him very much. I loved Sam's reaction!!! This song is going to stay in your heads for a while, so catchy.

"Jimin has the ability to captivate people. He’s an axis that the stage revolves around" - RM
So true! 😘
Jimin the legend you are😎
Beautiful JIMIN 💫💫💫🌟🌟🌟 Love you 💋💋💋
Reactors: I don't know why but i keep seeing him... (Jimin)
ARMY: ATTENTION! Attention! Jimin got another one! I repeat, Jimin got another one!
Yes sir, that my friend is called THE JIMIN EFFECT
The ARMY lore will teach you that ONCE YOU JIMIN, YOU CAN'T JIMOUT!!
May pila Po Kay Jimin 😂dun Po sa likod😅
Idol was released in 2018 and is full of symbolism and references to their journey as BTS up till that point. Eg The scene where they are all sitting down at a table is similar to the scene in Blood Sweat & Tears mv. Scott : there’s an ARMY saying “ once you Jim in you can’t Jim out” :)

But yes this video was crazy and ridiculous and a clap back at allllll the critiques and hate they were getting! So they went crazy 😂 LOL WHICH IS AWESOME. They were like "we are too much for you? WELL HERE IS MOREEEE OF EVERYTHING"
This song is a response to a lot of criticism: lack of color or too much color; lack of culture elements or too much... people always find something to spread hate.
Well, they decided to "elevate" all the critics to the maximum level! 😂😂😂 And, to me, the outcome was simply awesome!
Yes! Also, it works as a parody of what Westerners assume KPOP MVs look like.
BTS gets lumped in with that stereotype, even though they don't fit it. This was Lumpens' (the MV production team), chance to say, "OK, everybody who ignores our groundbreaking narrative work because you think this is what KPOP is - I'll show you that x100."
Yup. BTS’ team took “over-the-top” and multiplied it by 7. 😂 Still, there is “a method to the madness” bc as usual most element serve a purpose (such as fueling fan theories).
BTS…even classy when they give people the finger. 🤣🤣🤣

King Jimin 👑 😍

Watch their live performance of IDOL at AGT (American Got Talent) where Jimin went viral as "who is the dude in the red suit".
Jimin❤
His guys!!! In this one you will have to see the explanation because there are many significant details

There’s a reason we say BTS paved the way!

My heart belongs to Jimin❤

You've been stomped on by the Jimin effect. It is impossible not to look at him.😅😅😅
You can watch the meaning/explanation of the MV it was detailed information🥰🥰
So, you may have just discovered your bias! It's the Jimin effect! We have a saying, "Once you Jim-in, you can't Jim-out!"
Jimin catches people left and right! He is captivating!
My suggestion is this. Check out BTS performances at MNET / MAMA award shows..... 2018, 2019... maybe even earlier. While watching, try to remember that it is not a BTS concert but an award show! They kill it!! Idol at the award shows is unbelievable! There are soooo many great performances. Narrowing down the list is impossible! Good luck!
This song is a great concert song. Just imagine thousands of people singing “Can’t stop me loving myself” It’s amazing.
Please watch some of their live concert performance as well-

Please do react to it.

Once you Jim-in, you can't Jim out! It's called the Jimin effect!
of course Jimin ✨️
The reason for all the cgi is the haters would say they use a lot of cgi and so Bts said hold my beer 😂😂😂 this live is incredible!! The message is the best though 💜

One thing the DKDK video won't cover is the personalized f-yous in the video.
Suga was always told he was too pale: wears a Snow White sweater
V was told his glasses were ugly and his heart shirt was dumb: Those are definitely what he's wearing here, lol
RM was ripped on for playing with filters: hence the animal filters
j-hope was told he was too cartoony and unserious to be a rapper: hence the Bugs Bunny sweater
Jimin is too feminine: give that boy a fluffy fan and a seductive line
Etc etc etc
LOL
And Baby Boy is going to Win Awards from Traditional Fan Dance Organizations for bringing awareness to the Art 🤌🏾💋
So much information I didn’t know! Thanks for he great comment!

There is so much meaning behind the song and the MV. You have to react to an explanation video. And it's the ultimate love yourself song. I don't care about what you say I love myself.

Full power Jimin effect ...
It would be funny to see your reaction to the "Jimin effects" videos.
This MV is a clap back at haters who criticized BTS for many reasons.
There is another explained video for this MV if you're interested in all the references in it.
Hello Mr Sam and Mr Scott. Thank you for the energetic reaction. IDOL was actually a song against all criticism they faced.
A lot of emphasis has been given to Korean culture here and they had reasons for that. But yes you are right they are master in transitioning between languages be it Korean and English or Japanese and English.. They have different Genre of Music in their catalogue, this is a very bright song and i know to some it might not appeal (As Mr Scott said compared to other song he did not like it so much). That is the charm of BTS they have a never ending cauldron where there is something for everyone. I hope as you go on this journey you unravel more of their creation which you will def like.
There's an excellent explanation by a Korean on DKDKTV. There's so much imagery that non-Koreans miss. And I think we have a new Jimin bias. If your eye often goes to one person, that's who your bias is! 💜
Finally!!!! I haven´t watch the video yet but just wanted to say I was waiting for this since the first time I watched you. I am so excited!!!
I think you guys would love Jimin's song Filter! 🫣
Hey you guys make my day with the BTS reactions 💜 I think my father would have loved them 💜 💕
You know Idol wasn't one of my personal favorites but it has grown on me, now I love it!
You should see them do this live and ARMY joins right in! ( LOL, once you Jim-in you can't Jim-out. Everyone loves Jimin. All the korean symbols are meaning ful, if you don't watch the explanation video on this one, you really miss out.
Watch the MAMA 2018 live on this
I think one of the reasons BTS made this song is that they were receiving a lot of criticism at the time that they were becoming too westernised ( although how this was different from other kpop groups at the time, I’m not sure).
Anyway, there is a lot of symbology in this MV, it’s quite fascinating, so it’s worth watching one of the videos explaining it. If there is one by DKDKTV, they are good.

Hello gentlemen, how are you? There's a performance of Idol on the Jimmy Fallon show during covid,where the boys are all in modern hanbok. It's done at Gyeongbokgung Palace,live. Quite beautiful. You can watch it on your own,I know it could get blocked. Thank you for sharing 🤗💜🫡
This mv has a lot of symbolisms...I hope you check the explanation ofnthe MV...check also the live performance of Idol form 2018 MMA... ypu will love the whole production and the K9rean culture twist...plus 3J's (JK, Jimin and Jhope) special dance breaks
The two of you never fail to make me smile 😃💜
Disfruto tanto tus reacciones !
The video was a master class in giving as many f-yous to the haters per frame than any video I've ever seen.
Not just the Korean idioms are that jammed into it, but the personal nanny-booboos they have in their wardrobe, dance moves, props, and gestures. This was the classiest way to tell everyone who's ever crapped on them to piss off. LOL
You can't watch this without watching the interpretation video for IDOL.
It’s a song with a lot of significance because they are celebrating their culture and their pride, it has a lot of details that only Koreans would get which holds a special place and has that old music and history mixed with a very catchy, danceable and modern sound. BTS does this very well in other songs too. Thanks for reacting! Loved the edit at the end with the lights and music when one of you guys sings! 😂
I would love to see you react to this dance practice as the choreography is insane. Also if you get a chance to check them out live you won’t be disappointed!
You should their Award Show performance with the introduction solo traditional Korean Dance's they did one of which is an Traditional Fan Dance by Jimin.
U really need to watch the explanation video for this one …. It is so fun!!!! Plus the live MMA 2018 of Idol will blow your mind…. They put on a performance like you will never see here in the States! It is legendary!!!
You guys are awesome! Love your honest reactions to BTS songs. Their performance of Idol on Melon Music Awards in 2019 or MMA 2019 is one of their most iconic performances, you should check it out. Thank you once again 💜
💜🇧🇷💜Very energetic and happy, love love love this song. Makes me get up and jump around!!! Thanks
You are definitely not alone. Jimin was the first to capture my attention too. The phenomenon is known to ARMY as “the Jimin Effect” and the phrase “Once you Jim-in, you can’t Jim-out”. Gender/age/etc. seems to matter little. There are endless (often hilarious) compilation videos highlighting it, from babies to seniors.
This is one of those songs/music videos where an explanation video is virtually required for non-Koreans because it’s packed with cultural elements that add several layers to the meaning beyond the surface (still important!) “I don’t care if you criticize me, I love who I am/who I have become”.
Nice meeting you Sam! I'm your Lyft driver that does some game development stuff! Subscribed!
This wasn’t my favorite at first, but it’s top five now because of the live performances. Also, there are tons of Korean cultural references in it and now that I know about them, it makes it super interesting. It’s also a clap back to people who say their videos are all CG, they were like Oh no, THIS is what all CG looks like. Ty!
Jimin is… chef’s kiss! ❤
BTS IDOL ❤

JHope is my bias but Jimin got me into being ARMY. He's extremely captivating. 💜
Idol performed live is a party!
you know, MAMA 2018 and 2019 avard shows whuld be a nice thing to see.. i promise it is amazing and they are live so you will se how they do live =)
Hi guys. It must be taken into account about Idol that it is a song loaded with symbolism both in images, costumes, narrative, lyrics and in concept. And in the most superficial of its intentions it is still an almost guttural and satirical response to a pride acquired after many personal struggles for being idols, a profession considered superficial and prefabricated that opposes the naturalness of being a singer or rapper. In this topic they are proud of their choices and artistic career in which they have given the idol image a much more artistic, committed and recognized dimension (the result of their own achievements) where being an idol implies being singers, rappers, dancers, composers, lyricists and much more. Greetings from Argentina.
Jiminnnnnn ❤
This was not my favorite song on first listen either. I didn’t LOOOOOOVE it until I saw it in a live performance. It is now my favorite song to SEE live. There is nothing like being in a crowd of 50,000+ ARMY and hearing them all sing “You can’t stop me loving myself” at the top of their lungs! It’s EPIC!!!
Idol grew on me a lot. The video was honestly so over the top that it overshadowed the song. Of course now I understand the purpose of the video, but I didn't at first. I agree, it's perfect for concerts!
When I first saw this video I was immediately transported back to the 70’s and thought the producer was on some extremely effective psychedelic drugs!
