Hi everyone, welcome back for Part 2 of my analysis of BTS's Tiny Desk Concert! It's been wonderful to see such a positive response and appreciation for my detailed breakdown of what's happening vocally, and overall musically in this awesome BTS performance. Just in case you missed Part 1, here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g8rSC0HLDgk.html
Thank you for reacting to BTS and in-depth analysis! I'm very curious what would you think of their solo or unit songs :) One of my favourites is song "Telepathy" so hopefully one day you can check it :)
i feel like you would really enjoy their 2021 FESTA (Yearly Anniversary Celebration of the Group&Fans) BTS ROOM Live Performance. It's a Mash-up of a LOT of different songs, a little trip through their songs from oldest to newest and gives you a good sample of their catalogue. It also highlights a few of their pure rap songs! Excited to see you checking out more BTS, thanks for the reaction!
there definitely is a backtrack, to give the performance a fuller sound and to patch little adlibs here and there that was originally done in the studio version. but in this performance, the backtrack can be easily picked apart from the live vocals, which is why it's my absolute favorite video when i just wanna bask in their voices!
I would recommend also watch BTS Festa Room Live 2021. This is a medley of songs performed live, where they’re also up and moving around a little bit more. The songs included in the performance range from their first album in 2013 to their most recent album in 2020. Just a little background, “Festa” is what they call the annual celebration of their birthday as a group, from their debut date 6/13/13. They usually drop a lot of freebie content for their fans during the first couple weeks of June. This video came from the 2021 Festa.
RM, who is the guy in the denim suit, is quite fluent in English. In fact he has addressed the UN General Assembly in English. According to his own story, he learned English by listening to DVDs of the American television show Friends. He listened first with Korean subtitles, and then with English subtitles. Quite remarkable!
@@sabinegunzl RM was in New Zealand, but not even for a full semester... It was only a couple months. Jin visited Australia (as a student, for some weeks, not that long).
For the "lip-sync" part, I think that what happened was that he was about to sing that line, but opted last second not to. It could be because of muscle memory. As you might have read from other comments, their performances are dance-heavy, and if they're not dancing they're still jumping and running around the stage. Since there's a lot of choreo and timing is very important for those kind of packed performances, they have to rely on muscle memory for choreos and some singing parts. They wouldn't be able to function with so many things to think about at the same time. Therefore, since this version was different than the one they usually perform, he might have been following his instincts implanted through the hours of training, and remembered just last second that he wasn't supposed to go for it for that version, so he just mouthed it. They use backing tracks to support the stability and fullness of their voices during performances or add extra layers of armonies. In the case of the last two songs however, I would almost consider those backing vocals more like voice samples that are part of the instrumentation, rather than singing support. Mainly because they could be distinguished very easily and they were purposely not singing in those sections. I don't know if I made any sense with this 😂
Another example of their great live vocal abilities would be "Your Eyes Tell" live performance! It's crazy what they are doing there, and it is well balanced between the members. I would love to hear your opinion!!! Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G3UnUH7TQvs.html
Having watched their Fix You cover of Coldplay's song, you would probably enjoy the collaboration they did with Coldplay doing My Universe. There is a music video of it and there is also a video of the according of the song in which Chris Martin from Coldplay travels to Korea during the pandemic and spends a couple of days recording the song with them. Fascinating project and the behind the scenes video left me a bit choked up.
Just so you understand Jungkook and Jimin do most of the background vocals so they have to do a backing track to do all the harmonies. But he is used to doing all the harmonies so that was the reason for raising the mic to his mouth. It wasn't lip sync per se. The dedicated Baritone is V the one with the tie, even though while he was doing english he started singing higher. They are not all fluent in English just RM (the one with the blue hair) he also speaks in Japanese along with Jimin the one on the right end.
@@VAngel876 I've heard people saying Hobi has te best Japanese, but I don't speak the language. He also does a lot of the lower range background vocals, for example on DJ Swivel's explanation of his work mixing Magic Shop he shows his tracks, and there are videos about his "hidden vocals" here in RU-vid
RM is a baritone. And there is a backing track, and JK was mimicking the backing vocals. He's the main vocalist, so it makes sense he would. You can clearly hear the difference between the backing track and their live vocals.
There may well have been a backing track, however, BTS does not normally do any lip syncing. I understand they even rehearse they're singing while running on a machine so that they can develop their breath for singing while dancing.
6:30 yes it's not that deep XD, it's part of the original track and they never sing that part because they're doing the choreography, JK (purple mic) usually moves his lips and he sings parts of the songs that are not his parts (like the rap parts)
13:48 that’s Jimin, has natural high pitched voice,often gets mistaken as a girl singing(which makes him one of the most unique vocalist I’ve ever seen)
@@djlivvy46 The first time I heard Blood, Sweat & Tears and heard Jimin singing that first note I thought it was a female voice. It sounded so pretty and angelic to me. I had to quickly watch the MV to check it was really the BTS guys singing the whole song (and then was crazy impressed by the MV, but that's another thing lol). He sometimes does sound very feminine, sometimes just a guy with a high tone. I think it depends on the song and the way he sings, but it sounds gorgeous all around
JK was mimicking the back vocals cause this version is different than the ones they usually do. He isn’t lip syncing. If u noticed he put down his mic aswell. He’s their main vocalist. He’s literally the one who never hides behind any effects lol. He always sings even during vlives, during their run eps. If u check out Jungkook main vocalist by IDA S. Or if u react to just any Jungkook vocals video you’ll see.
Yeah, that was a backing track, they usually have that to provide more of the background vocals. They also are a dance-heavy group, so they'll use it (a backing track) occasionally when there's strenuous choreography preventing them from singing. To see more of them live I recommend watching the Armypedia live songs (No More Dream, Like, Just one Day) or the other MTV unplugged videos! (Blue and Grey, Life Goes On, Telepathy)
18:01 J-hope and JK are actually singing together harmonizing. JK's the other voice you hear though it wasn't captured by the camera only focusing on J-hope.
Could you be too focused on the backing track? BTS is a group that sings while dancing choreography.They practice singing while on a treadmill. No, all are not fluent in English, just R M. Most KPOP singers are trained to sing in a breathy head voice.
I don't think he was intentionally lip-syncing, probably just out of habit because more than likely he did the backing track. He does most of the adlibs and harmonies for backing.
I mean it’s pretty obvious it was a backtrack but they weren’t lip syncing anything, JK just forgot he was not supposed to sing that part so he put the mic to his mouth for a sec 🤡
RM, the guy in the denim started writing Spring Day one day in the park, staring at the trees. The song is really about his and Suga's (the rapper in the black jacket) experience with their friends from the past. The music video though is directly dedicated to the victims and families of the sewol ferry disaster and the lyrics are quite fitting.
6:00 nothing really happened here lmao he probably thought about singing along to the “save me, me, me” part, but didn’t. which is why he brought the mic up and put it back down.
Because this version differs from the way it's usually played, I think jk was lip syncing to that part because he usually sings the save me ee ee part, if you listen to the original way this song goes, you'd see what I'm talking about. It looked like he was doing it out of habit, then realized in this version he doesn't sing those parts. Idk if that made sense it's hard to explain but if you watch with the studio version or a different live I think it would make sense 💜 thank you for the reaction and breakdown
I know what you mean although it looked like it (so not blaming reactor for thinking it initially).. I wouldn’t say JK was lip syncing but probably like you said was going to sing out of habit then realising and pulled his mic away. I often see the boys mouthing even other members parts without mics during their concerts and other live performances. They only lip sync for music videos and have admitted that they are bad at it lol 😂
You should react to their cover of "I'll be missing you" it's amazing, they did such a great job on cover and it was a cover that I think a lot of people were a bit worried about and kind of wondering how it would go but they didn't fail to impress and were really respectful and did a great cover. It's definitely worth checking, it's honestly such a heavenly cover, their voices are just amazing so I highly recommend checking it out I would love to see your reaction to it!!!
Jungkook the guy with the purple microphone is actually the MAIN VOCALIST so his "position" is higher than the other vocalists. Jimin the guy with the orange microphone is the LEAD VOCALIST his "position" is below the main. Taehyung / V the guy with the green microphone and Jin the guy with the pink microphone are the VOCALIST so their "position" is below the main and the lead. Same with the Rappers RM the guy with the blue microphone he is the MAIN RAPPER. Suga the guy with the black microphone is the LEAD RAPPER and J-hope the guy with the red microphone is a RAPPER but he is also a SUB VOCALIST Pls correct me if I am wrong in any of the information i stated. 😅 Btw the also dance they have a dance line (like vocal line and rap line) The dance line includes Jhope, V, Jungkook, and Jimin
there are no rankings tbh. yes, they have official "positions" but after 9 years of being together, they decide the roles based on who fits them the most. jungkook still does cover majority of the vocals and ad libs so he'd still be fit to be called the main vocalist. i don't agree w the rappers' positions all too much w their recent works as context
@@taesfilter3026 I get what your saying but the position ls still do matter to a certain extent like jk will always be the main vocalist and does majority of the runs and adlibs.
@@kooquette2 i think he meant in western term...not k-pop. We know in k-pop term main vocalist and lead vocalist is not the same. In western...main vocalist= lead vocalist. When I first got to know K-pop I was confused and also thought main/lead vocalist is the same.
The thing with BTS is they don't try to fool you with lip syncing. If it's only the backing track no one is pretending to really sing, although you may see them mouthing along. There's actually many performances where that's clear, like one where Jungkook (orange jacket) starts laughing and can't sing and it's very clear he is live. Yoongi (second from left) has purposely stopped rapping a few times to prove he's live (often the audience fills in). If one of them gets out of breath someone else will take over. I'm sure there have been venues where they've been told to do it for some reason, but it's not something they ever want to do.
Something I think you might find interesting! The reason they usually only have 1 or 2 singers singing at a time, despite there being 7 of them, is bc their normal performances have a very strong emphasis on dance. So generally, the person singing at any one moment is doing less moving, whilst the other 6 do some very intense dancing. And obviously you need to breathe to do that. It’s why a lot of their songs are structured that way and you wouldn't necessarily notice in a stripped down performance like this one. I think this performance is a really good example of that if you're interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wSNd02kVv8o.html
The rappers RM and Suga are both baritones but so is V (Taehyung, green mic guy in the middle). Because the other three vocal line members are tenors, V ends up living in his head voice and mix most of the time. We hear his gorgeous low range on his solo works like Sweet Night, and his whole range on Stigma. 💜
This song was written following the Sewol ferry disaster where the ferry boat was sunk killing more than 300 students who were on a day trip. Some of the emotion being shown by the singers is due to the depth of feelings about this disaster. If you watch the music video for this song as well as the explanations about the symbolism in the music video you will understand it a little bit better.
When Spring Day was first released this was probably the biggest theory about the song. However they've never confirmed that was the case. There might be some symbolism of it in the music video. There's been no official confirmation that the song was written in honor of the tragedy even though it's heartbreaking to hear about. The anniversary of the accident wasn't very long ago.
@@clairefranzen5753 RM has stated that the song was written that he was thinking about old friends one day, and that is what the lyrics are based on. As for the video, that’s definitely theory - acceptable theory yes, but theory all the same.
@@larewi6765 ... have you seen the "What you still don't know about BTS spring day"- video by Italian Army? That is actually convincing not that other vid people love to watch. And I think that there was something more recent when Jin was asked and said that it was to a specific incident or something similar. People have taken that he meant the disaster but understandable didn't want to mention the name. *shrugs* It is definetly a strong possibility especially if you also look at the choreo (the lyrics themselves were about the loss of friends/friendship).
JK wasn’t lip syncing?? He was mimicking the backtrack. I mean it was obivious they were using a backtrack. Usually when they are performing Save Me with choreo, he signs that part live. But in this one he forgot that they were not supposed to do it.
6:06 Couse he wasn't trying to sing that part!it was a backing track only!He was just saying the "me me me" part with himself! He never sing that pert !you can tell by the difference between how their actual voice sounds like comparing to how low backing tracks are like. so its not a lip sync part you didn't need to explain that his voice wasn't different with the mic away for like 3 mins you're making it too complicated for yourself . He often moves his mouth in different part of the song couse he is vibing with it
@@kimberlynrios4755 I'm not trying to mob him or anything i think he had a good reaction. he was talking about how jk's voice didn't change when the mic was away and made a point about it which was just a misunderstandings couse that was just a backing track and he was only moving his mouse so i wanted to make it clear ,that's what he always do while vibing with a song and it's not a big deal . Of course there is no problem with back tracks but In my opinion lip sync isn't ok . I know he wasn't trying to question his singing i wanted to clarify the misunderstanding
@@kimberlynrios4755 lol, how can 3 seconds where JK just vibed to the song can be ever called lipsync? I hate these things, let's enjoy the song instead of arguing
Please react to BTS I’ll Be Missing You BBC BTS Singularity Live performance BTS Euphoria live performance BTS Epiphany live performance BTS Serendipity live performance
Can’t wait for him to acknowledge how deep V’s voice is lol cause I feel like you can just tell V is not singing in full voice. Maybe he should listen to Singularity Edited to correct myself and say Stigma but you can still react to Singularity
I like how you enjoy music :-) greetings from Tricity in Poland. BTS are amazing! Have you ever sing in Europe? You give me Henry Cavill vibes - sexy, mainly guy
Taehyung is actually their baritone (one in the vest) and has a solo song called Singularity where you hear more his his lower register. Nice neo soul track if you're interested in checking out,
I have watched dozens of clips and Jungcook (JK) often does this when some other members are singing, imitates without intention, because he enjoys performing so much because he has an incredible voice and doesn't need to prove anything when it comes to singing. Jimin who has the beautiful angelic voice was chosen as a member very late just before they debuted in 2013 . He was chosen for his years of Contemporary dance and hip hop dancing, he had no vocal training and virtually trained himself. He asked if he could watch the other vocalists having lessons then went back to their Dormitory and practised for hours in his own time training himself to sing. Also this an on-line concert for the fans. Thankyou for your reaction. They have evolved from 2013 to 2023 in many ways. They struggled during the Pandemic because they had to stop live concerts. 😊
you should react to the house of cards and the truth untold live. its just the vocal line but both songs are amazing live. also dimple & pied piper live also amazing
Next reaction BTS Solo jungkook my time,still with you,euphoria V stigma,singularity,inner child Jimin filter,lie,serependity Jin moon, ephiha yang,awake Vocal line:zero o'clock Truth unthold House the card Jungkook n producer suga Stay Alive
Duuude, I felt like the second part took forever 😭 one week is a lifetime 😂 Thanks for the video, really appreciate your BTS videos, and I hope you'll continue this journey. Army would love to be part of it 💜🇩🇿
There are some pre-recorded choirs; are parts of the song that Army (their fandom) sings at a concert, they left them as a reflection of nostalgia and because they miss being with Army. The one in the orange jacket with purple microphone is the main vocalist and his voice is very stable. The one in the floral shirt with the gold microphone is considered a light tenor or even a countertenor. And he is a lead vocalist. The one you mentioned was an example of a light falsetto, it's the only baritone in the vocal line; his voice is deep and soulful, but very versatile and with the widest range of the group.
Thank you for your reaction. I really enjoyed your breakdown and analysis. I'd love to see you react to and analyze the rest of their MTV Unplugged videos ("Fix You" is one of them. There are five in total). On of them, "Blue and Grey", is a beautiful ballad.
6:00 no he sang it really quietly bc thats how that part is meant to be LOL he was just kinda joining along with the small unnecessary parts of the song if u know what i mean, he wasnt lip syncing or anything
Jungkook the orange jacket really good conveying emotion through his voices that’s how I like about his style, he never disappoint me with this. He has an art through his voice he know exactly how delivered the right feelings and leave listeners captivated more to the song .
Thanks for your reaction. The singer with the purple mic, 'JK' is the lead singer of BTS & also lays down the master when recording for the rest to sing their parts to. Yes, there was a backing track, it is obvious and they are not trying to hide it - it is clearly audible & JK was singing along, just as there were horns playing in dynamite and no hon players in the band - not synthesized, etc. I think you would enjoy their hearing the vocalists in the group perform "House of Cards' live version, a song from years ago & 'Film Out' a Japanese track they recorded last year - the Music Blood or CDDT live versions have the best audio. Look forward to more BTS reactions, I enjoy your commentary! :)I love how you appreciate the instrumentation as well, the guitar, bass & drums were going ham, especially in 'Spring Day.'
Btw we would care about what you have to say about them talking. Most Armys arent fans just for music but for them as people. You will find out why in time. Music is just some part of being in fandom.
Especially here, where they are talking about the music. I'm very sad he skipped those parts. He really missed out, and would have gained a bit more insight.
it looks like everyone told you already, but you'll love their "festa 2022 room live" performance! it's a medley of their songs from 2013 to now and very diverse in style!
Yes, there is a backing track. But Jungkook (the singer in the orange jacket) didn't actually mean to lip-sync the "save me-me-me" part--it was literally a timing mistake, where he forgot that they weren't singing that line live.
Bc the majority of their songs are usually performed with an accompanying dance routine or in large stadiums they almost always have some sort of backing track to get the right sound mix & help fill in where they might need a breath. That particular part in Save ME is a dance break where they are dancing very hard & energetic choreo so they don't sing those "save me, me, me" parts & just let the backing track play. For future reference on this, BTS don't bother to lip sync, it'll be very obvious if they're just letting the backing track play (you'll see this a bit more clearly in, for instance, Jimin's solo performances of Serendipity as his main focus for certain parts of the song are the choreo over the vocals so he'll just let the backing track take over & doesn't bother trying to "fake" that he's singing bc he isn't for that part though he is singing over the backing track the other 80% of the time). Not sure if this is something you're aware of, but BTS most definitely employ the backing track & live sound mixing techniques that MJ pioneered & perfected, so if you pay attention during their live stages with choreo you'll notice the hallmarks of those techniques (backing tracks low in the mix but enough there to pad out any rough spots during choreo while allowing the live vocal to cut through & shine, only certain small sections/vocal chops being brought forward in the mix for artistic affect & emphasis, etc). They write their songs WITH the dancing & performance of that song live on a stage in mind so that they can majority of the time be able to sing it live & achieve that full bodied sound
Rm(Kim namjoon) the rapper with blue hair is the only one fluent in English he actually learned English by watching the show friends and rm is also the leader of the group and often gives the other members help with speeches or helping them pronounce words in English also his stage name is rm which stands for rap monster.
Yeas they have different positions main lead and sub vocals, dancers and rapers. This is something that influences in they responsibilities. For exemplo JK (the guy in orange suit) is the main vocal, because his voice is the more stable so he used to have more lines and he is responsable for recording the vocal guide to help the others, Jimin the guy on the right is lead vocal, so he is normally responsable for sing the parts they want want to highlight. It doesn't means that in some songs they don't do different, but it is how normally goes.
I mean a true good representation of seeing what BTS is really capable of is watching them in their full element. Like performances like these are cool, but BTS are BEASTS on stage. Their stage presence is killer and they can sing AND dance at the same time and have crazy stamina. Cuz their concerts average 2,5 hours and they'll sound stable all throughout. Watch their GRAMMY 2022 - BUTTER performance for a taste! And watch their MMA2019 performance after that for the full scope of their capabilities. You'll be blown away. It's 40 minutes of them at a Korean award show completely shutting down the place with their awesomeness. But the recent GRAMMYS is a nice prequal to that showing their showmanship. So please react to that. And thanks for this reaction, cuz I love hearing more professionals break down performances like this.
The part in spring day where the boys weren’t singing the Whoa’s was actually the fandom singing (“ARMY”)….That’s why Jimin says “We love you ARMY” 💜🫰 The guy next to purple mic guy (JK) is the groups baritone normally…..catch him do live stage with the solo song “Stigma” ….his name is V (Taehyung). P.s just stumble across you & love your reactions extremely interesting. 👍
There is actually main vocal and lead vocal in bts. When you say the guy in orange jacket and the one with the yellow mic seem to take the lead, well because they are the main and lead vocalist. The orange jacket guy(purple mic) is the main vocalist while the yellow mic is the lead vocalis
13:45 im literally smiling uncontrollably that you said this about Jimin's voice bc i literally love jimin so much. He's been my ultimate bias (favorite member) since the beginning and has had my heart. I love hearing peoples reactions to his voice and videos on him because it just melts my heart to hear people say nice things about him and i just love him.
Lol May I suggest if you would want to know or at least research their names because you describing them sounds weird and took you long time to explain. We understand you just want to just react to their song and just focus on the way they sang..but it would be much exciting to watch your reaction if you know their names. Just a suggestion. Sorry to dislike the vid. Thanks though.
There's a backing track with the gang vocals of Spring Day (it's something the audience is supposed to sing along to), the synths of Save Me (the chorus of that song is a dance break) and a few of the alibis. It's pretty easy to tell apart those from the live singing here, I think, since the backing stuff is more muffled/less upfront. I don't think Jungkook was supposed to lipsync that alibi, I think he just got "into it", and yes, most of them are pretty bad at lipsyncing... Honestly, even on their music videos, they rarely match the vocals, some of them don't even try, it's almost embarassing.
A large part of their preformances is their choreography. It would be cool to also see you check out a choreo focused preformance to see how they preform and sing/rap all together
That particular rapper is rm lol and he is the only member fluent in english...the other members know some english and are continueslly learning english and are alot better now then when they first started but they can't really carry a full on conversation in english like RM can
Hi Peter: One thing to know about BTS is they give the ARMY clues to what the future holds for BTS. The Fix You Cover was a clue for a project that was happening in the future with ColdPlay project. Turned out they did a song called My Universe with ColdPlay. You should react to the Music video. If you're ARMY you know even the simplest thing can be a clue. Usually we look back and realize they told us their plan but we didn't get it. Sometimes, we are just wrong. LOL ! Then we get our clown make up and laugh on twitter. There latest Clue came at the end of the Permission to Dance Concert last week in VEGAS. The words, "We are Bulletproof" came up on the big screen, followed by the BTS logo. Then the date 06/10/22 came up on the screen. ARMY went WILD!!!!! The Bulletproof clue was from their first album and BTS/Bangtan Sonyeondan means Bulletproof Boyscouts in Korean. 06/10/13 was the release date of the Original Album. I would bet Big Money, they are telling ARMY they are taking us back in time, to the beginning & releasing a new album on 06/10/22. We're thinking more hip hop. I've gotta admit; They make it interesting for us.
They actually do have "lead singers" - although song by song it's not about who sings the most. Jungkook (purple mic) is the main vocalist, in the center of most ensemble pieces. His voice is generally regarded as the most stable & a lot of songs come back to him again and again for repeated chorus or prechorus sections. He's also incredibly adaptable (there are a zillion videos of him doing lots of stuff with his voice) and blends really well when he's on harmonies. The other three vocalists all have different colors/tonal qualities and they arrange songs to make use of those qualities while still passing the melody around. And a couple of the rappers sing sometimes as well - especially JHope, which we see here on Spring Day especially. As main vocal, Jungkook actually lays down the vast majority of the harmonies and ad libs on their backing tracks, so whether or not he was singing in that little moment on Save Me, it's probably him on the backing track. The guys are notoriously terrible at lip sync, which is funny because they're good at everything else.
I'm loving your breakdown on RM's rap delivery (he's the one with blue hair). He's always been a spectacular artist that's caught my eye because of his rap, his melodies, and his lyrics. Just his whole style is so cool to see and listen to.
what you pointed about that “me, me, me” was definitely no live singing. they do like to mouth or sing the words (even if its not their part, for example) though. I know tiny desk is usually super raw but bts like to have fuller sounds s, I would say, so you might hear pre-recorded (or usually taken from their studio version) adlibs
7:24 he was just mouthing along to the song man i don't think you need to focus too much on that, the way they perform (in concert they do intense choreography) they're used to using backing tracks for fuller sounds and some background harmonies, however, you can always hear their mic output loud and clear, it's clear when they're singing and when they're not and in this instance, for example, he was just vibing to the save me me me part, none of them normally sing that part of the song
2 years after, maybe no one then will read this comment, not even Peter... But still I have to say it: he felt the humming, melancholic tone in their way to sing Spring day without knowing what is it about, even though he could read the lyrics. That's how powerful the singing is!!!!!! Spring day is, indeed, a gorgeous hopeful and at the same time melancholic and sad song. Me, personally, even though I have never experienced the kind of tragedy we know it is related to, still, this song makes me cry almost every time. It just breaks my heart beautifully... Every single time. Kudos for my amazing 7 lovely monkeys, making me feel stuffs. That's why I love them so much. Greetings to everyone.
Duuude, I felt like the second part took forever 😭 one week is a lifetime 😂 Thanks for the video, really appreciate your BTS videos, and I hope you'll continue this journey. Army would love to be part of it 💜🇩🇿
I admit I picked you up because of BTS, but your breakdown was so informative, that I have now gone to check out a few other artists. Ethos, I never excepted someone to use that term in a breakdown. I learned a great deal and you answered several questions I have about their styles. Thank you and glad I found you.
You are correct…the “save me me me” is pre recorded and it plays louder during other live performances because they are usually dancing as well❣️ RM is the ONLY singer fluent in English❣️ The others only know simple phrases…This song “Spring Day” is about a disaster that happened in South Korea to approximately 240 students who drowned on a ferry😢
Hi the last song is SPRING DAY and please check the oryginalne video as there is a lot impact with background choir. Also you should like Black swan as it is amazing and dancing there is influenced by balet.
BTS always has the backing track on all their songs because they are a dance heavy group. They are still in great shape, they practice singing on a treadmill so they can control their breathing when they dance while singing. They record the songs with all these adlibs and harmonies for the fullness and work on dance routines for their performances. That’s why they had a lull on the first song “Save Me” where all you heard was backing track because they do heavy choreography at that time. When you get to their mvs or their performance videos, you’ll see why. These men are consummate performers.
I would say with a performance like this, if you really suspect lipsyncing, it's more likely they cut two takes together and weren't able to match the two takes together perfectly this is a common way of doing prerecorded performances in general, def common in south korea. they weren't able to do the tiny desk in person because of the pandemic, which affords them the luxury of being choosey about how it comes out (like doing multiple takes and splicing together the ones they like best). we get the behind the scenes for these, we know they sing them live because we see them do it in the behind but we don't always know how many takes they did lol there are def other pandemic performances where they put two takes together, I think we just don't talk about it because we don't find it unreasonable if they're given the opportunity to put their best foot forward bts are really terrible at lipsyncing, they can't even manage it in their music videos with a director to help them and typically if they don't sing something, they don't try to fake it. they will just not open their mouth and it won't be a secret they aren't singing
they actually do have a backtrack in the part he mentioned! jungkook doesn't even try to lipsync tbh; it was more of him wanting to sing it and then giving up so we hear the faint track in the background.
Thanks for this reaction and the breakdown! I love how you're pointing out things I never noticed even though I've listened to these songs so many times. Spring Day is widely considered by ARMY as the queen of their discography. I won't go into depth about the meaning behind the song but it hasn't left the Melon Music chart (kinda like Korean Billboard Hot 100) since it's release in early 2017. It's the longest charting song by far! I also agree you should check out their live performance of Your Eyes Tell. I think you'll really enjoy it
