A fun video to watch might be their "BTS ROOM LIVE" performance that came out recently. The performance is a medley of mainly b-side tracks, from their discography, which includes both singing and rapping. It's a fun performance and you get to see/hear a little bit of everything.

I liked your reactions to BTS; i subscribed when you made butter, was waiting for another one. It would be interesting for you to react to their live performances, you can notice how different the 7 voices are, they show that they have great control and they are also a great show so they don't dance, presence is enough. You need to know many more styles, they are very versatile. You made a comment that many singers exaggerate the tension in the high notes and you saw Jungkook relaxed, if you can watch the carpool karaoke with Jaimes Corden singing live and you see him calm.
you haven't even heard their hip hop, funk stuff yet! they are not only one of the best vocalist, they are also one of the best rappers of today (Ugh!, Outro: Tear would be a great start there, or Hip Hop Phile if you're familiar with hip hop culture)
It was BTS's high-energy songs that drew me to them, after I saw their Boy With Luv music video. I'm from a much older generation, and my musical interests have been with R&B and jazz, even some of it from before I was born. I could hear the influences of those genres, particularly tiny bits of things from the 50s and 60s, in some of their work. That led me to believe that they had exposure to multiple eras and genres feeding their creative processes. As if they are divers on a reef called global music, and they go down and swim and enjoy and come back to land with whatever pleases them. This was confirmed for me the other day, when Kim Taehyung, the guy with the classical face and smoky-timbre voice known as V, shared a bit of one of his playlist, which included Etta James' At Last. And other interesting selections. Anyhow, when I got that kind of clue about what they were about, I guess about a year-and-a-half ago, I went to Spotify, and added all their albums, both Korean and Japanese, to a personal playlist, in album release date order. For about eight months, I played that playlist all the way through a couple of times a week. It does not include any of their mixtape work. Still, there are more than 250 songs there. Some of them are repeats, having been released on two albums, or on a Korean album and a related Japanese album. Still, it's a huge discography for a team that debuted only eight years ago. They contribute to writing, composing, and production on many tracks, so this is really what BTS is about. I was surprised to find that I am never bored by any of their stuff. In the beginning especially I was sometimes surprised, or puzzled, by the what I was hearing. But after a few times of listening all the way through, their sound became recognizable and the contrasting contributions of the three rappers, who were the original members, and the four vocalists, who were added later though still before their debut, became distinct, as if BTS is a small orchestra comprised of seven completely different instruments that are tuned to work together in beautiful and surprising ways. One of the most rewarding things about learning BTS's catalog is that through listening to them, they have taught me to appreciate rap and hip hop. I feel this is an important feature of who they are. The originating energy of the group came directly from rap and hip hop, and it adds huge elements of texture and drama and spoken word lyricism to their art. While you were watching two of the videos, a couple of times I shouted watch what's going on, to you. You were turning to face the camera, and had your eyes off the video at important parts. You made a point of saying how rich the visuals of their epppMV's are. Yes, because for most part they are storytellers. Music, words, movement, and then, added to that, costumes and set design, though they can tell really good stories without costumes or sets. They are also funny, and kind. You gave yourself the rationale for calling them their own genre, when you were parsing out how you viewed what they were doing. As the daughter of a mom who came from a professional musicians' family, which mom continued with music on an amateur basis as an adult, I found myself disconnecting from the music industry, music teaching, and music professionals, very early, because of everybody's vested interest in labeling things and putting what they were doing and hearing into niches. I turned to visual arts, where I found the boundaries between genres to be more porous, more like outdoor rooms in a garden, rather than storage rooms in a stone basement. BTS has kept me as a fan in part because they keep boundaries between genres porous, and as you said, they even mash up or sample multiple genres in some songs. You also mentioned layering, regarding their vocals and arrangements. But there's layering going on in every element each piece that they produce. Their art is multi-dimensional. I don't think that any artist can be labeled the best vocally, because vocal achievements rely on the moment of performance. It's that kind of value judgment, that ignores the importance of the moment, that pushed me away from standard appreciation of music in America. It's also that kind of value judgement that pushes people past their organic capabilities on competitive music TV shows. BTS are sometimes affected by that kind of pressure. The singer you singled out, Park Jimin, is vulnerable to those expectations, in part because he received less vocal training than some of the other BTS members. His confidence about his vocal quality is not always as high as his natural capabilities should allow him to be. So he doesn't always relax enough, and his voice breaks. Some of the other members sing slightly flat when they're singing live, I believe because they practice in-ears blocking off feedback of their own sound naturally. Since they're singing against their own voice, to hear what they're doing in the practice moment, they may do what many people do, go little a flat, to make a distinction in their own ears. Doing that too many times trains a voice to sing flat. Because of the use of autotune for so many years, we've grown accustomed to looking for perfectly-keyed vocals from a lot of singers. A few months ago, I went back to listen to Billy Strayhorn, Johnny Hartmann, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and Johnny Mathis, all of whom i remembered as perfect vocalists. I was shook to realize that they were not perfect, that my old-timey organic listening had been part of my perception of their perfection. That taught me to stop listening for autotuned work, and released me to completely enjoy live performances from artists like BTS.
Wow.. Although I'm not a fan of BTS (not that I don't appretiate the work but it is that I'm very selective) I'm amazed by your eloquent and expressive analysis, not to mention that it is genuinly informative. Honestly I'm very interested to read your academic works or a book of yours if you might write one :)
Wow !!! It's a very brilliantly articulated informative piece worthy of a big publication article💜 I am fan of them since 5 years and completely agree with your observation .The most interesting was "they are like a group of small orchestra tuned to work together". That's the only thing makes them different form other great artist .And I believe what they have can never be replicated ever .Even there agency agrees ! It's there incredible team work and neverending love for each other what has made them come this far.I wish I was even half as articulate as you are ..I have so much to say but will stop here .Thanks again for giving such a great observation 🙏
While everyone else is talking about their vocal skills, I would like to mention the great music production in their songs. I do not know much about BTS but I highly appreciate their music producers, songwriters, mixing artists and sound engineers. Many viewers don't know that they play a major in giving the songs a grand and massive quality.
You should react to THE TRUTH UNTOLD by Vocal line of BTS and YOUR EYES TELL and FILM OUT (both are japanaese songs). Even rap line can sing well and sometimes even harmonize with vocal line. They recently did I'll be missing you and Fix you cover.
bts are some of the best vocalist these days, theyre always singing live and dancing at the same time and the vocals are still impressing, you should react to some live performances, idk if u have a favorite member now or if u know their names, but jimins voice is the highest of them all, he almost sounds feminine, u should react to the "serendipity" live performance of him, but i recommend you to first watch the mv :) and a song i recommend is "you're eyes tell" and " dis-ease" (it's a b-side track) live performances i also recommend - film out live performance (japanese) - the truth untold ( this is a song by the vocal line → Jimin, jungkook, v and Jin) - pied piper (5th muster)
Jimin, of the sweet smooth voice, who got you pausing in Dynamite, has a solo song called Lie. He co-wrote it and it's absolutely amazing both lyrically and musically so I love watching musicians and vocal coaches react to it. I hope you add it to your list though imagine that list is getting really long 😬💜
BTS is their own genre. They can't be put in a box, and it's a large part of the reason they aren't "just" K-pop or a boy band. They have something for everyone.
"Every great songs had to have the hey nanana in it" ohh don't worry BTS has tons of songs with nanana in it to check out😂😂😂 And the way army often can guess the song just by the nanana tho✨🙂
I think maybe you might be interested in watching some of their live performances like the Tiny Desk Concert or MTV Unplugged, where you can really see what they sound like live. They also sing a few songs in each that are really different from each other, so it also shows off more of their styles. They usually do have some hip hop influence in their songs, unless it's a vocal line song. But even there, they are usually very focused on the beat and a lot of their songs start with the beat and only then they come up with melodies and lyrics.
i think, thats what makes people love them more... everytime they have a new song, we always guess what type of music they will release. so its never boring. there is always a song that fits on whatever mood you are in
Ohhh please you have to do a live performance reaction of them! Probably one of their recent one would be the "BTS Room Live". It's a 10-min medley of some of their songs throughout the past 8 years of their career. It's really2 good. Don't forget the CC ofcourse. Great reaction btw! 😊
Loved the reaction. But whenever she says "What is happening..." I cannot help but visualizing J-hope coming to Weverse after each HOT 100 announcement and asking "what is happening.." to ARMY😂😂and both of them having Kinda similar hair color tone wasn't helping. In short, she sounds so cute when she gets excited.
@@shrutisingh2651 it's 7 times bestie😂 , every Wednesday morning we all were waiting for his pic and same reaaction, it was so fun rit?he is very cute.
They are the most versatile group ever! Hip hop, RnB, Ballad, Pop, pop-rock, pure rap, etc. they can sing low and high.. and they can dance like crazy. Please, you should make a review on their live performances. Like the tiny desk concert and the BBC 1 live lounge.
I think bts have some of the greatest vocalists and rappers.. Maybe you will love to check some of their live performances I recommend: "the truth untold", "film out" in blood music, "magic shop ",their covers to "fix you" by Coldplay on mtv unplugged and "I'll be missing you " on bbc radio 1
You have to watch their live performance. I'm sure you will like it very much. Maybe you can start with the songs you've already listened to. Because believe me, the live performance is getting better and better.
When reacting to BTS, make sure to keep the Bighit intro in the video. They take it as a learning experience and wont copyright. Also, reacts to BTS Room live! It showcases their vocals really well and shows about 1 minute of around 6-8 songs! Trust me, its an amazing experience.
I personally want u to hear the vocal line in a video and rap line in one. Here are some of the vocal line's solos V- Singularity, stigma, winter bear, Inner child, sweet night JIN - Awake, Moon, Abyss, Tonight JIMIN - Serendipity, Filter, Lie, Promise JK - My time, Euphoria, Begin, Still with you
That's why their fandom is so huge, the emotion in their music draws you in without even knowing the lyrics. These guys give 1000% every time and you can never be bored with them.
BTS starts out from K-pop and then they transcended into many other media techniques. Their MVs are stories that are a part of a world that lead into specific universes. Their costumes, their colors, tones, the textures of their vocals, their abilities to mix-match all that with some of the best storytelling choreography in each video... Yep. They are NOW their own genre. Welcome to ARMY.
I do think they are some of the best vocalists. They work very, very hard on conveying their emotions and passions while singing and dancing. Listening to them live is wonderful as well because they dance and sing effortlessly. There is no break in their voices. It is truly amazing to watch them.
There are a lot of tracks that don't have an mv incase you want to focus more on the vocals... The truth untold, house of cards, let me know, louder than bombs, and so on.
oh no you didn't finish ON please tell me you watched the end!! BTS really are their own genre and I think they are the best vocalist in my opinion! You should definitely listen to Life goes on, Save me and Stay Gold (stay gold is in Japanese).
Can I just say that I find you to be absolutely adorable! I love your energy! I fell in love with BTS two years ago on accident and I really enjoy watching your reactions/analysis.... please continue to do more ❤
There are many vocal focused songs... Like "House of cards" "The truth untold" "singularity"(By V) "Stigma" (By V) "Serendipity" (By Jimin) "Ephoria" (By Jungkook)... And many more. I think you would really love to see "Jungkook singing on VLive acapella" there are many compilation 😍💜
I'd LOVE to see you react to some of their live performances! Like tiny desk concert and BBC radio 1 live lounge as well as 'the truth untold' If you also want to dive into their voices individually, they each have solo songs Jungkook: Euphoria/my time V: singularity/stigma Jimin: Filter/serendipity Jin: euphoria/moon
Thank you! I would recommend live performances of Your Eyes Tell, The Truth Untold, and Film Out! As well as the BBC1 Lounge performance of I'll Be Missing You. Thanks, again!
Thank you for your reaction. It's great to watch someone get sucked into how amazing BTS is. If you want to hear them live, two good options are the NPR tiny desk concert from last year and the BBC Radio 1 live they just did. Both of these performances will give a good chance to hear how they sound live.
i think you should definitely react to some of their live performances. they are some GREAT vocalists! some of their performances on korean award shows like MMA or MAMA are even 30 minutes long and along with the dancing and outfit changes and tough choreographies and keeping the audience engaged, we really have to squint hard to find minor vocal misses. they always give their all in a performance
I hope you get a chance to go back and watch these MVs without having to comment/react so you can see the full visual effect. It's so powerful if you get to actually give it your full attention.
for bts you can basically find like almost any genre in their music as well as i recommend you check out their debut called no more dreams cuz if you thought that from dynamite to black swan was a big change imagine the change that happen between 8 years of being a group
The more you listen to BTS the more you hear. The more you read lyrics the deeper you realize the music is. The more you see what they put out behind the scenes the more normal and real they are
that's kpop. the layers, the sooooo many things happening. the mixes of styles... the electric, the vocals, the rap. not many in groups can do it all together.
3:19 He's had some solo work out since this video (the group is on hiatus while the members serve out their mandatory military service). You might like the style and techniques used in Set Me Free pt2 and Like Crazy. His album reflects the various emotions he dealt with during the isolation of the pandemic. In Set Me Free pt2, I've seen mentioned that his use of autotune was to create a second "voice" in the song. All the members have solo work out and the variety between the members is amazing. The only members to not have albums yet are Jungkook and Jin. Jungkook's album is set to release soon. He's already released two singles from it, one of which won MTV's song of the summer award. Jin was the first to enlist, so he only released a song, Astronaut, beforehand, but we expect an album when he gets out. Some of their solo work was released while the group was active, but those songs were usually released with BTS as the artist as opposed to their more recent albums which were released under their individual names. Thanks for releasing these technique videos. I have a couple earmarked to watch. 😊
Best vocalist and Rapper. Best performer, best dancer, best songs, best lyrics, everything. They dont specific in some genre. You'll be suprised that 'Stigma' from V is completely blues... Or other song from JK 'Still with you' is Jazz...
Great reactions and enjoy your trip down rabbit hole. I like a pause when you discuss during the video. I am distracted by the video and don't really hear you like I would like to. More BTS please. 😊
If you like their music videos, you should check out their live performances. They sing while dancing live, on stage, too. The lives usually sound even better than the studio versions.
BTS has many genres, they don't stay in one genre, so if you want to listen to any genre, it's all in bts, jazz, hiphop, funky, ballad, sad, dark, spirit
I would definitely recommend some live performances! Those are really great at showing off their vocals. I’d suggest maybe Your Eyes Tell and their cover of Fix You!
I hope you check out their ballads too--> Serendipity, Crystal Snow, Singularity, Euphoria and Magic Shop...also they have a storyline running through all their mvs (BTS Universe) so the lore is very rich and deep
BTS singing live...is just amazing. In my opinion, they sound even better live. And when they do covers of songs...wow. Fix You and I'll Be Missing You (puff daddy/faith evans remix version) are their most recent live covers.
BTS is definitely its own genre... You've only just scratched the surface. Their discography is 200+ songs (I'm probably undercounting actually), and a grand total of 3 are in English (Dynamite, Butter, and Permission to Dance). I would say those 3 songs are much more "pop"-sounding than the rest of their discography - which spans different musical styles. Their earlier work specifically is more hip-hop leaning (because that's what they started as). A lot of their music is very deep, and they are known for their lyricism. Even many of their more upbeat songs have a deeper meaning behind them. And, I truly believe that's why so many people love them. If the music wasn't any good, they wouldn't be as successful as they are. I'm a newer fan (discovered them during COVID times), and it's honestly been a beautiful discovery.
Yeah, you completely missed some good parts. Hoping you go back and just listen. I like when a reactor just listens through first to get everything. Not sure how you can assess what’s going on when you’re talking over most of it.
Your eyes tell - live written and composed by the main vocalist jungkook and the group does it and beautiful emotional song for a Japanese movie House of cards - live is the vocal line The untold truth - live is the vocal line Fake love - classic gorgeous mv and song Lost - vocal line There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalist and 4 of them are he dance line but they all dance… they just do more dance breaks and stuff like that.
I really suggest if possible to listen or watch a live stage. They do the singing, rapping, and dancing live with the exception of background recording to help the breathe in between all 3. Fake Love, DNA, or Save Me/I’m Fine. (Save me and I’m fine are two songs that kind of go together. I love watching them perform those songs together) save me is my favorite BTS song
A few more 180s... MIC Drop (hip hop); 134340 (jazz); Your Eyes Tell (ballad in Japanese); Magic Shop (...?...ballad/edm). All of the instrumentation in ON was real drums/horns and they had a chorus for backing. Black Swan and ON: Kinetic Manifesto are the only two MVs BTS have filmed outside of Korea; both were filmed in LA. The dancing crew in ON is The Lab out of LA and the woman they zoomed in on in the beginning is Sienna Lalau; She choreographed the entire routine. As amazing as their MVs are, you should really check out some of their live performances; that is where they REALLY shine. :) Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole. :)
You should watch them sing live - Tiny Desk NPR, MTV Unplugged, BBC Radio One and BTS Room Live are their more recent ones to help answer your own question “Are they the best vocalists right now “ great reaction. Looking forward to more.
One bts lover here too! But I'd love to suggest you listening to Kingdom - Love poem. Kingdom was a competition between 6 groups and in this performance a singef from 3 of the groups comes together and bring us the most beautiful thing ever. The harmonies are on poing and their singing is full of emotion and talent. I bet you'd enjoy it!
Can ARMYs PLEASE stop requesting only their commercially hit songs. Honestly, if you really want to understand BTS on a deeper level please listen to their more serious music. Check out their old albums, the entire Love Yourself series. The musicality in those tracks cannot match their commercially popular tracks. I mean they are amazing, no doubt but they are made with the intention of reaching a larger audience. The true essence of BTS' music in my opinion lies in their albums, their unit songs and their solo tracks. Unfortunately, people don't go beyond these popular hype tracks of theirs and ends up missing out on some really really amazing lesser known tracks in their albums. I'd say just react to their music album wise so you can experience the diversity in their music and the genres they cover better.
It's called...baiting the hook.... 😆 THEN you reel them in with the good stuff! btw....I'm an old American lady....speaks English....but am I the only person to wake up every morning singing in Korean?? 😆 I just love the boys!
Yes. Well said. And also she should listen to them sing LIVE... This is how you can really see how talented they are. But my question is.. Does she really want to listen to bts or she just want the views..?
Loved this video! You are so incredibly well-spoken, and that makes it really fun to listen to what you have to say. I'm looking forward to watching more from you! Perhaps some reactions and commentary to some of their live performances? :)
BTS are some of the best vocalist of all time. They are legends! Have you had the pleasure of hearing them sing live?(while they do intense dance routines and still keep a stable voice) If you haven't seen them sing live/in concert you're missing the best part!
Jimin is the reason I became a BTS 64 yr old Army fan. Saw Dynamite and immediately went down that rabbit hole. Love them all, amazingly talented and humble men.

I liked your reactions to BTS; i subscribed when you made butter, was waiting for another one.
It would be interesting for you to react to their live performances, you can notice how different the 7 voices are, they show that they have great control and they are also a great show so they don't dance, presence is enough.
You need to know many more styles, they are very versatile.
You made a comment that many singers exaggerate the tension in the high notes and you saw Jungkook relaxed, if you can watch the carpool karaoke with Jaimes Corden singing live and you see him calm.
Film out live performance its a good one to see their vocals without the dancing, but yeah they sing while run in a treadmill and practice for hours
Sing while run in a treadmill, When they said that?
@@minllifluous4769 ohh I see
you haven't even heard their hip hop, funk stuff yet! they are not only one of the best vocalist, they are also one of the best rappers of today (Ugh!, Outro: Tear would be a great start there, or Hip Hop Phile if you're familiar with hip hop culture)
I really wanna see her react to exo vocals lol
I miss Hiphop era BTS T-T
Well said yes 👏
It was BTS's high-energy songs that drew me to them, after I saw their Boy With Luv music video. I'm from a much older generation, and my musical interests have been with R&B and jazz, even some of it from before I was born. I could hear the influences of those genres, particularly tiny bits of things from the 50s and 60s, in some of their work. That led me to believe that they had exposure to multiple eras and genres feeding their creative processes. As if they are divers on a reef called global music, and they go down and swim and enjoy and come back to land with whatever pleases them. This was confirmed for me the other day, when Kim Taehyung, the guy with the classical face and smoky-timbre voice known as V, shared a bit of one of his playlist, which included Etta James' At Last.

One of the most rewarding things about learning BTS's catalog is that through listening to them, they have taught me to appreciate rap and hip hop. I feel this is an important feature of who they are.

They are also funny, and kind.
You gave yourself the rationale for calling them their own genre, when you were parsing out how you viewed what they were doing.
As the daughter of a mom who came from a professional musicians' family, which mom continued with music on an amateur basis as an adult, I found myself disconnecting from the music industry, music teaching, and music professionals, very early, because of everybody's vested interest in labeling things and putting what they were doing and hearing into niches.
I turned to visual arts, where I found the boundaries between genres to be more porous, more like outdoor rooms in a garden, rather than storage rooms in a stone basement.
BTS has kept me as a fan in part because they keep boundaries between genres porous, and as you said, they even mash up or sample multiple genres in some songs. You also mentioned layering, regarding their vocals and arrangements. But there's layering going on in every element each piece that they produce. Their art is multi-dimensional.
I don't think that any artist can be labeled the best vocally, because vocal achievements rely on the moment of performance. It's that kind of value judgment, that ignores the importance of the moment, that pushed me away from standard appreciation of music in America. It's also that kind of value judgement that pushes people past their organic capabilities on competitive music TV shows.
BTS are sometimes affected by that kind of pressure. The singer you singled out, Park Jimin, is vulnerable to those expectations, in part because he received less vocal training than some of the other BTS members. His confidence about his vocal quality is not always as high as his natural capabilities should allow him to be. So he doesn't always relax enough, and his voice breaks.
Some of the other members sing slightly flat when they're singing live, I believe because they practice in-ears blocking off feedback of their own sound naturally. Since they're singing against their own voice, to hear what they're doing in the practice moment, they may do what many people do, go little a flat, to make a distinction in their own ears. Doing that too many times trains a voice to sing flat.
Because of the use of autotune for so many years, we've grown accustomed to looking for perfectly-keyed vocals from a lot of singers. A few months ago, I went back to listen to Billy Strayhorn, Johnny Hartmann, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and Johnny Mathis, all of whom i remembered as perfect vocalists. I was shook to realize that they were not perfect, that my old-timey organic listening had been part of my perception of their perfection. That taught me to stop listening for autotuned work, and released me to completely enjoy live performances from artists like BTS.
Wow.. Although I'm not a fan of BTS (not that I don't appretiate the work but it is that I'm very selective) I'm amazed by your eloquent and expressive analysis, not to mention that it is genuinly informative. Honestly I'm very interested to read your academic works or a book of yours if you might write one :)
I am amazed at how well analyzed and written your comment/analysis is.... Very well done!!!
I rarely write a reply to comments on RUclips, but your thoughtful observation was truly enlightening. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow !!! It's a very brilliantly articulated informative piece worthy of a big publication article💜 I am fan of them since 5 years and completely agree with your observation .The most interesting was "they are like a group of small orchestra tuned to work together". That's the only thing makes them different form other great artist .And I believe what they have can never be replicated ever .Even there agency agrees ! It's there incredible team work and neverending love for each other what has made them come this far.I wish I was even half as articulate as you are ..I have so much to say but will stop here .Thanks again for giving such a great observation 🙏
You definitely should react to:
“BTS TINY DESK HOME CONCERT”
“BTS ROOM LIVE”
These are live band, live performances! Please check them out💜
Yes.... She should listen to them sing live.....
While everyone else is talking about their vocal skills, I would like to mention the great music production in their songs. I do not know much about BTS but I highly appreciate their music producers, songwriters, mixing artists and sound engineers. Many viewers don't know that they play a major in giving the songs a grand and massive quality.
They are often listed as producers, songwriters, and more on each of their songs. So they (BTS) have a hand in all of that too.
Army is aware and we thank their staff often. Plus RM and Suga are producers. JK and Hobi too.
Actually Most of the song is write by bts. Mostly, it is suga and rm.
3:10 His name is JIMIN. He has the most unique voice. The voice of an angel.
BTS are kings of nanana's and lalala's 😂 we love each new one in the collection
You should react to THE TRUTH UNTOLD by Vocal line of BTS and YOUR EYES TELL and FILM OUT (both are japanaese songs). Even rap line can sing well and sometimes even harmonize with vocal line. They recently did I'll be missing you and Fix you cover.
Those songs are both amazing displays of their voices. I'd add Film Out to the list.
bts are some of the best vocalist these days, theyre always singing live and dancing at the same time and the vocals are still impressing, you should react to some live performances, idk if u have a favorite member now or if u know their names, but jimins voice is the highest of them all, he almost sounds feminine, u should react to the "serendipity" live performance of him, but i recommend you to first watch the mv :)
and a song i recommend is "you're eyes tell" and " dis-ease" (it's a b-side track)
live performances i also recommend
- film out live performance (japanese)
- the truth untold ( this is a song by the vocal line → Jimin, jungkook, v and Jin)
- pied piper (5th muster)
Pleaseee react to their cover “I’ll be missing you” on BBC Radio 1
Jimin, of the sweet smooth voice, who got you pausing in Dynamite, has a solo song called Lie. He co-wrote it and it's absolutely amazing both lyrically and musically so I love watching musicians and vocal coaches react to it. I hope you add it to your list though imagine that list is getting really long 😬💜
It is one of the most intelligently written songs.
More on live performance please.
"Your eyes tell"
"Film Out"
"I'll be missing you BBC"
Let me pls add Fix You Cover to the list
BTS is their own genre. They can't be put in a box, and it's a large part of the reason they aren't "just" K-pop or a boy band. They have something for everyone.
And their live performances are even better. That is Jimin with that beautiful high voice.
And Jungkook in On Kinetic Manifesto... his voice in that is on a complete other level.
12:58 the way he hits that note just sitting in the car on the episode of carpool karaoke they were on still just floors me
"Every great songs had to have the hey nanana in it" ohh don't worry BTS has tons of songs with nanana in it to check out😂😂😂
And the way army often can guess the song just by the nanana tho✨🙂
That and La La La... 😂 💜
I think maybe you might be interested in watching some of their live performances like the Tiny Desk Concert or MTV Unplugged, where you can really see what they sound like live. They also sing a few songs in each that are really different from each other, so it also shows off more of their styles. They usually do have some hip hop influence in their songs, unless it's a vocal line song. But even there, they are usually very focused on the beat and a lot of their songs start with the beat and only then they come up with melodies and lyrics.
i think, thats what makes people love them more... everytime they have a new song, we always guess what type of music they will release. so its never boring. there is always a song that fits on whatever mood you are in
"BTS 'ON' Commentary Film: Dialogue"
you can watch this. many behind the scenes intsruments for their MOTS:7 album, including ON
As Yoongi said, BTS doesn’t stick to a ‘genre’. It’s more “integrated content”
Ohhh please you have to do a live performance reaction of them! Probably one of their recent one would be the "BTS Room Live". It's a 10-min medley of some of their songs throughout the past 8 years of their career. It's really2 good. Don't forget the CC ofcourse. Great reaction btw! 😊
You should really get to their live performances!! It's a whole other rabbit hole, something you'd never regret listening to!!
3:11 that's Jimin!
Jimin's collected another one, guys-
yeah yeah Jimin's voice is so angelic♥♥I can't stop listening to his voice
I like your vibe a lot! 😍 sweet and lovely
Thank you!! 😊
Loved the reaction.
But whenever she says "What is happening..." I cannot help but visualizing J-hope coming to Weverse after each HOT 100 announcement and asking "what is happening.." to ARMY😂😂and both of them having Kinda similar hair color tone wasn't helping.
In short, she sounds so cute when she gets excited.
wait omg did Hobi do that on weverse?? was it cause PTD was #1??
@@x.mono.x4011 😂😂
No, not just ptd. He did every time whenever Butter hit #1 for first 6 weeks. It was so cute. He is so cute.😚😚
@@shrutisingh2651 it's 7 times bestie😂 , every Wednesday morning we all were waiting for his pic and same reaaction, it was so fun rit?he is very cute.
@@tejaswinimannuru9729 oh yeah..it was 7..my mistake😅 well, mistakes like this happens when we are always on top😏success problems
@@shrutisingh2651 i love him
That’s how Jungkook sings. That’s how he sings all the time even a Capella. High notes and all. No auto tune.
Please react to their cover of "I'll Be Missing You" that BTS sang on BBC Radio 1 they brought me to tears!
They are the most versatile group ever! Hip hop, RnB, Ballad, Pop, pop-rock, pure rap, etc. they can sing low and high.. and they can dance like crazy. Please, you should make a review on their live performances. Like the tiny desk concert and the BBC 1 live lounge.
great reaction! I think if you decide to do more BTS reactions, you should definitely choose their live performances!
I think bts have some of the greatest vocalists and rappers..
Maybe you will love to check some of their live performances
I recommend: "the truth untold", "film out" in blood music, "magic shop ",their covers to "fix you" by Coldplay on mtv unplugged and "I'll be missing you " on bbc radio 1

The truth untold
You have to watch their live performance. I'm sure you will like it very much. Maybe you can start with the songs you've already listened to. Because believe me, the live performance is getting better and better.
When reacting to BTS, make sure to keep the Bighit intro in the video. They take it as a learning experience and wont copyright. Also, reacts to BTS Room live! It showcases their vocals really well and shows about 1 minute of around 6-8 songs! Trust me, its an amazing experience.
I personally want u to hear the vocal line in a video and rap line in one. Here are some of the vocal line's solos
V- Singularity, stigma, winter bear, Inner child, sweet night
JIN - Awake, Moon, Abyss, Tonight
JIMIN - Serendipity, Filter, Lie, Promise
JK - My time, Euphoria, Begin, Still with you
You should react to vocal line's The truth untold, Your eyes tell and film out all live versions
That's why their fandom is so huge, the emotion in their music draws you in without even knowing the lyrics. These guys give 1000% every time and you can never be bored with them.
you should react to some of their live performances I suggest Dimple and Pied Piper
You should definetly do 'BTS tiny desk concert' for more vocalss
Thanks for reacting on just not one BTS music but THREE. Wow, that was so cool. I really enjoyed this! 💕
BTS starts out from K-pop and then they transcended into many other media techniques. Their MVs are stories that are a part of a world that lead into specific universes. Their costumes, their colors, tones, the textures of their vocals, their abilities to mix-match all that with some of the best storytelling choreography in each video... Yep. They are NOW their own genre. Welcome to ARMY.
I do think they are some of the best vocalists. They work very, very hard on conveying their emotions and passions while singing and dancing. Listening to them live is wonderful as well because they dance and sing effortlessly. There is no break in their voices. It is truly amazing to watch them.
Your speaking tone is so pleasant and kinda melodic. Thanks for taking the time to check out some of their stuff. :D
This was fun to watch! I like your energy! I hope you'll continue to listen to more BTS performances and videos and bring us along for the ride!
3:36 not surprised he is jimin our angle with a angelic voice😇😌😌😌
Dynamite really have that power to stick to our heads for days and if you hear it in different genre like Acoustic, it would still sound timeless.
Would love to watch you react to their live stuff! Loving your content so far, keep up the great work :)
thank you so much for reacting to them!! WE appreciate it very much and I hope you can also dive in to save me. This song has very great vocals hidden
Thank you for providing your professional insights into BTS! I love to watch response videos, especially ones by vocal and dance professionals.
There are a lot of tracks that don't have an mv incase you want to focus more on the vocals... The truth untold, house of cards, let me know, louder than bombs, and so on.
oh no you didn't finish ON please tell me you watched the end!!
BTS really are their own genre and I think they are the best vocalist in my opinion! You should definitely listen to Life goes on, Save me and Stay Gold (stay gold is in Japanese).
Can I just say that I find you to be absolutely adorable! I love your energy! I fell in love with BTS two years ago on accident and I really enjoy watching your reactions/analysis.... please continue to do more ❤
There are many vocal focused songs... Like "House of cards" "The truth untold" "singularity"(By V) "Stigma" (By V) "Serendipity" (By Jimin) "Ephoria" (By Jungkook)... And many more.
I think you would really love to see "Jungkook singing on VLive acapella" there are many compilation 😍💜
I'd LOVE to see you react to some of their live performances!
Like tiny desk concert and BBC radio 1 live lounge as well as 'the truth untold'
If you also want to dive into their voices individually, they each have solo songs
Jungkook: Euphoria/my time
V: singularity/stigma
Jimin: Filter/serendipity
Jin: euphoria/moon
Thank you! I would recommend live performances of Your Eyes Tell, The Truth Untold, and Film Out! As well as the BBC1 Lounge performance of I'll Be Missing You. Thanks, again!
"ON" is one or my favorite song that BTS has made... The Vocals, Dances, Teamwork, MV everything...💜
Thank you for your reaction. It's great to watch someone get sucked into how amazing BTS is. If you want to hear them live, two good options are the NPR tiny desk concert from last year and the BBC Radio 1 live they just did. Both of these performances will give a good chance to hear how they sound live.
i think you should definitely react to some of their live performances. they are some GREAT vocalists! some of their performances on korean award shows like MMA or MAMA are even 30 minutes long and along with the dancing and outfit changes and tough choreographies and keeping the audience engaged, we really have to squint hard to find minor vocal misses. they always give their all in a performance
Now, remember, they sing all of these while doing these insanely difficult dances- which is a whole level above.
Looking forward on your other reviews with BTS. Thank you. You will love them once you know them completely. 😊
I hope you get a chance to go back and watch these MVs without having to comment/react so you can see the full visual effect. It's so powerful if you get to actually give it your full attention.
Ahhh I'm so thankful finally someone who appreciates them for their artistry
for bts you can basically find like almost any genre in their music as well as i recommend you check out their debut called no more dreams cuz if you thought that from dynamite to black swan was a big change imagine the change that happen between 8 years of being a group
The more you listen to BTS the more you hear. The more you read lyrics the deeper you realize the music is. The more you see what they put out behind the scenes the more normal and real they are
that's kpop. the layers, the sooooo many things happening. the mixes of styles... the electric, the vocals, the rap. not many in groups can do it all together.
Glad you reacted to Dynamite, a marvel. It's my favourite song, and that was the first ever BTS song I've listened to.
YES !!!!!! from the very beginning, a new road to music.
3:19 He's had some solo work out since this video (the group is on hiatus while the members serve out their mandatory military service). You might like the style and techniques used in Set Me Free pt2 and Like Crazy. His album reflects the various emotions he dealt with during the isolation of the pandemic. In Set Me Free pt2, I've seen mentioned that his use of autotune was to create a second "voice" in the song.
All the members have solo work out and the variety between the members is amazing. The only members to not have albums yet are Jungkook and Jin. Jungkook's album is set to release soon. He's already released two singles from it, one of which won MTV's song of the summer award. Jin was the first to enlist, so he only released a song, Astronaut, beforehand, but we expect an album when he gets out.
Some of their solo work was released while the group was active, but those songs were usually released with BTS as the artist as opposed to their more recent albums which were released under their individual names.
Thanks for releasing these technique videos. I have a couple earmarked to watch. 😊
Best vocalist and Rapper. Best performer, best dancer, best songs, best lyrics, everything. They dont specific in some genre. You'll be suprised that 'Stigma' from V is completely blues... Or other song from JK 'Still with you' is Jazz...
Great reactions and enjoy your trip down rabbit hole. I like a pause when you discuss during the video. I am distracted by the video and don't really hear you like I would like to. More BTS please. 😊
Oh luv this reaction! Btw would you react to their live performance in the BBC radio 1? U would hear their crazy voices
If you like their music videos, you should check out their live performances. They sing while dancing live, on stage, too. The lives usually sound even better than the studio versions.
They don’t use green screen, the build the sets
BTS has many genres, they don't stay in one genre, so if you want to listen to any genre, it's all in bts, jazz, hiphop, funky, ballad, sad, dark, spirit
When people think of k-pop,
they think of BTS.
When people think of BTS,
they don’t think of k-pop.
That’s the difference.
"I have questions..."
That's how it starts~
😅😅👏👏💜💜🤟🧈💃
I would definitely recommend some live performances! Those are really great at showing off their vocals. I’d suggest maybe Your Eyes Tell and their cover of Fix You!
Can you react to their tiny desk concert? I would love to hear your opinions on their vocals from their tiny desk concert!
they use vocals, dance and acting to portray each song, by looking away for long periods of time, you really are missing so much.
Definitely! BTS are among the best vocalists today! Absolutely, BTS is their own genre.
I hope you check out their ballads too--> Serendipity, Crystal Snow, Singularity, Euphoria and Magic Shop...also they have a storyline running through all their mvs (BTS Universe) so the lore is very rich and deep
BTS singing live...is just amazing. In my opinion, they sound even better live. And when they do covers of songs...wow. Fix You and I'll Be Missing You (puff daddy/faith evans remix version) are their most recent live covers.
BTS is definitely its own genre... You've only just scratched the surface. Their discography is 200+ songs (I'm probably undercounting actually), and a grand total of 3 are in English (Dynamite, Butter, and Permission to Dance). I would say those 3 songs are much more "pop"-sounding than the rest of their discography - which spans different musical styles. Their earlier work specifically is more hip-hop leaning (because that's what they started as). A lot of their music is very deep, and they are known for their lyricism. Even many of their more upbeat songs have a deeper meaning behind them. And, I truly believe that's why so many people love them. If the music wasn't any good, they wouldn't be as successful as they are. I'm a newer fan (discovered them during COVID times), and it's honestly been a beautiful discovery.
you don't need to cut the videos, they don't give copyright as long as you include the beginning intro
Yeah, you completely missed some good parts. Hoping you go back and just listen. I like when a reactor just listens through first to get everything. Not sure how you can assess what’s going on when you’re talking over most of it.
Your eyes tell - live written and composed by the main vocalist jungkook and the group does it and beautiful emotional song for a Japanese movie
House of cards - live is the vocal line
The untold truth - live is the vocal line
Fake love - classic gorgeous mv and song
Lost - vocal line
There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalist and 4 of them are he dance line but they all dance… they just do more dance breaks and stuff like that.
I really suggest if possible to listen or watch a live stage. They do the singing, rapping, and dancing live with the exception of background recording to help the breathe in between all 3. Fake Love, DNA, or Save Me/I’m Fine. (Save me and I’m fine are two songs that kind of go together. I love watching them perform those songs together) save me is my favorite BTS song
You should hear them singing their songs live. They sing live while dancing. It is amazing.
A few more 180s... MIC Drop (hip hop); 134340 (jazz); Your Eyes Tell (ballad in Japanese); Magic Shop (...?...ballad/edm).
All of the instrumentation in ON was real drums/horns and they had a chorus for backing. Black Swan and ON: Kinetic Manifesto are the only two MVs BTS have filmed outside of Korea; both were filmed in LA. The dancing crew in ON is The Lab out of LA and the woman they zoomed in on in the beginning is Sienna Lalau; She choreographed the entire routine.
As amazing as their MVs are, you should really check out some of their live performances; that is where they REALLY shine. :) Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole. :)
You should watch them sing live - Tiny Desk NPR, MTV Unplugged, BBC Radio One and BTS Room Live are their more recent ones to help answer your own question “Are they the best vocalists right now “ great reaction. Looking forward to more.
i love how excited you are to listen to them and talk about singing! your videos are so cute, i'm gonna subscribe right away [: xx
One bts lover here too! But I'd love to suggest you listening to Kingdom - Love poem. Kingdom was a competition between 6 groups and in this performance a singef from 3 of the groups comes together and bring us the most beautiful thing ever. The harmonies are on poing and their singing is full of emotion and talent. I bet you'd enjoy it!
Can ARMYs PLEASE stop requesting only their commercially hit songs. Honestly, if you really want to understand BTS on a deeper level please listen to their more serious music. Check out their old albums, the entire Love Yourself series. The musicality in those tracks cannot match their commercially popular tracks. I mean they are amazing, no doubt but they are made with the intention of reaching a larger audience. The true essence of BTS' music in my opinion lies in their albums, their unit songs and their solo tracks. Unfortunately, people don't go beyond these popular hype tracks of theirs and ends up missing out on some really really amazing lesser known tracks in their albums. I'd say just react to their music album wise so you can experience the diversity in their music and the genres they cover better.
It's called...baiting the hook.... 😆 THEN you reel them in with the good stuff!
btw....I'm an old American lady....speaks English....but am I the only person to wake up every morning singing in Korean?? 😆 I just love the boys!
Yes. Well said. And also she should listen to them sing LIVE... This is how you can really see how talented they are. But my question is.. Does she really want to listen to bts or she just want the views..?
I really appreciate you taking the time to do the review of BTS 🤗💜Have a Blessed day 💜
istg ON is so chaotic with how the song flows
As a vocal coach you HAVE to see their live performances! BTS Tiny Desk, or BTS ROOM LIVE are good ones to check out!
Loved this video! You are so incredibly well-spoken, and that makes it really fun to listen to what you have to say. I'm looking forward to watching more from you! Perhaps some reactions and commentary to some of their live performances? :)
Their live performances of these songs will blow you away more. 💜
BTS are some of the best vocalist of all time. They are legends! Have you had the pleasure of hearing them sing live?(while they do intense dance routines and still keep a stable voice) If you haven't seen them sing live/in concert you're missing the best part!
Jimin is the reason I became a BTS 64 yr old Army fan. Saw Dynamite and immediately went down that rabbit hole. Love them all, amazingly talented and humble men.
