Thank you I know I am a crybaby, emotion is pretty close to the surface for me, and IU is one of the singers who can just stab at it (something I really admire in an artist!)
Thank you for your good and honest IU reaction👍. For info, Autumn Morning is Not composed or written by IU. It is a remake of a old song. Enjoy your IU concert in Rosemont.
I thought it sounded like an older song, thank you. She took the "old fashioned" feeling of it and communicated it so well. This helps to prove that her range of ability and emotion is very wide, I think.
Hi Merlin, I came across your blog randomly and really enjoyed it. We are exactly the same in that I first saw IU in her amazing and versatile acting abilities (My Mister and Hotel del Luna), then got attracted to her music. So as I write to you, you're at her concert in Chicago now, and I was at her DC concert on Monday! I was in the 5th row, on the right section, probably 50 ft from the stage. It was AMAZING! And all week, since I came home, I have been reliving those moments. I so much love her engagement with the audience, and the sing-along! I don't know any other concert where that happens. Everyone is just totally involved. And she expresses her emotions so well. And my favorite song is the same, Orange Sun, but I never knew the lyrics in English. Just the music alone is emotional for me.
I was in the first row of the balcony, halfway back in the arena. (I'll show pics in my review) It was great!! SSSSOOOOO MMUCH English!! I was impressed -- I knew she had some, and yes, a lot of this was scripted, but still... she used the translator about 10% of the time if that! Her between-numbers stage presence is very warm and welcoming.
My Mister was one of the first I ever watched, and IU is the main reason I looked for more! (Yes! I am very excited! for the concert -- going to hop into the car in just a few minutes!!)
Thanks for making this reaction and congrats on your upcoming visit to IU dream land. I understand why you feel that way about Love Poem, but maybe My Sea is a go for you or more lighter hold my hand (the live version is a killer ruclips.net/video/3iM_06QeZi8/видео.html). IU can make me laugh, dance and imagine a better world. She can also make my cry, but the thing with IU is that after crying to the message locked inside a song, you will end up feeling better, cleansed if you want. A bit of info to her credit 70 songs (not including current album) 180 total (again, not updated). Award nominations 321 won 134. The song she would like to be remembered for Knees (a song about sleeping on her grandma's lap), Heart (a song that comes from the deepest purest part of her heart) and Through the night (about thinking in the person you love while not been able to sleep late, and whishing that person a good sleep as the best love message to a love one). Indeed IU is the Fairy Queen. Edit. You may also like to watch how IU inspires her fans here ruclips.net/video/ElSmUH1meTM/видео.html
She has such skill as a writer and as a performer! Yes, I like the song in your link as well, and I definitely feel comforted by her music, even when it's melancholy. The birthday tributes you linked are really cool! I can see how she is inspirational!! I was very glad to be a part of her first US tour!! I am sure she is having fun as she travels across the states, I hope it is as much as we all are as we attend!!
Thank you for this video! ♥️ I've never been fan to any singer or band in my life (just a casual listener who enjoys certain songs). In fact I loved IU as an actress at the beginning... then I discovered her lyrics and I started to love her as a singer in a way I didn't think was possible! As Gong Yoo said in the Palette episode, IU's acting and singing styles are very similar, because they both convey emotions in a direct and genuine way ♥️ I went to the concert in Berlin and... I have no words to describe it!!! 🥹🥹🥹Have a good concert tonight!!!🥰
It really sounds like you and I have the same feelings towards her work. So talented in communicating emotion! -- happy and sad, adult and innocent, kind and mean - her acting is WOW -- warm and cold, comfortable and isolated, optimistic and pessimistic, - her singing is many-layered I'm kinda shaking with excitement!!
Did you enjoy Chicago concert of IU? I've been to Atlanta concert and it was mind blowing opportunity. I uploaded some clips on my channel. Agree, she is amazing actress and that makes her MVs so special! Get emotional whenever listening her song 'Eight'. Same here! Many of her old music have theatrical and Disney-vibes with profound stories underneath.
@BluebonnetU Did you see I reviewed the concert? I went and watched a bunch of your videos of Atlanta. (I'm sorry for all those people in front of you -- as a very tall person, I ALWAYS TRY HARD to be at the back of the venue... nobody should have to stand behind me!!) I can't help but be overjoyed at my balcony seats in Chicago -- first row, on the rail in the balcony. I got to sit all night... so important for an old man! (I even had to bring my cane along that night...)
@@BluebonnetU Mo matter what, her concert was great! I loved her interaction with the audience… she sounded like she was happy to be touring the US! -imagine over 10 years into a HUGE career, you get to begin romancing a whole new huge audience! It’s exciting!
Wow you stated all the facts about her. U being a crybaby, u must of cried bucket loads when watching her dramas. U will surely cry seeing her live. Enjoy her concert and thanks for sharing your opinions about her. Maybe you can make a video and talk about your experience of her concert.
Thanks for listening! I will definitely do a review of the concert! ...and yes, "My Mister" and "Hotel del Luna" were just horrible!! (in that good wash-out-the-inside-of-your-head way!!) I think I'll just bring a towel to the concert for my face...
Oh, you'll hear her speak in English at the concert 😁 Actually IU seems to have the innate talent to speak clearly even in foreign languages. She's also known in S.Korea for her clear diction. In concerts outside S.Korea, she always try to speak the local language and even sing some local songs yet, according to fans, she barely have accent which I can support since she spoke and sang a local song in my native language when she came in our country and she almost sounded like she's a local😆 very clear and even the intonation. She even beats other foreign people who lived here for years yet still speak with heavy accent of their mother tongue.
Her accent is subtle, she DEFINITELY has a gift for pronunciation!! (What I call her accent is very tiny. That is why I can recognize it.) This is part of her acting expertise, I think… She is a performer!! On a very professional level!!
SSSOOO MMUCH English at the concert!!!!! I was very impressed!! (most of it was scripted, but she clearly was being spontaneous as well, and only used the translator about 10% of the time, if that)
Thank you for your reaction. Welcome to IU+NIVERSE 😊 i can't wait to see your reaction to "Love Wins All" 🤍 join force with the other crybaby cause of IU 🥹
Do you honestly think I would even be able to talk if I were watching "Love Wins All"?!! (i choke up when I just hear the piano beginning on my music feed...!) I would like to try... stay tuned...❤️
This is So Touching to watch🥺💘, a really sincere reaction, compliment & commentary❤,very well said sir👌👏, Thank U💜
Thank you

Eight an upbeat song with a very sad story. 🥹
Yes!
I love this kind of song that sounds like they are happy, but the words are so heavy. Emotional whiplash!!
I like the collection of IU videos you have on your channel: I can use it as a place to find all of her music!!
Sadest happiest song
Totally agree!
Thanks for the emotional review. I hope you will not cry when you see her live in the Concert. Enjoy the concert.
OH, I am expecting to be hit pretty hard by some songs...
(bringing extra handkerchiefs)
I'll let you know how it goes!
Can’t wait for your comment after the concert!
Thanks -- soon as I can!

Please turn on the subtitles because I don't speak English, you will have more views
I will do that when I get home!
I am thrilled that Koreans and others are interested in my comments!!
@@merlinzimmerman446 I'm not Korean, but Ukrainian, but I also love IU very much
I edited and turned on the subtitles!!
Hopefully this helps. Good luck!!
