BTS - Begin, Lie, and Stigma (Reaction) 

You have to understand that Taehyung is a natural baritone so hitting those high notes is actually really really hard but he managed to hit a very very high note he has the widest vocal range in BTS

taehyungs live vocals are out of this world !!!!

When V hits the high notes on this song I get goosebumps!!

Stigma will never stop taking me by surprise, to have this DEEP voice and then hit THAT note, just chills.. and to think most of his line previously were mosty growly and raspy rock vibe.

Yup tae killed those notes Also keep in mind they preform these after they already preformed songs with the rest of the members where there is also tons of choreo so they’re exhausted

I’m so happy you gave Tae a closer listen.

You were right about why jimin didn't sing the chorus or the "ah woo" parts live, it would be really hard to do, especially since he's spinning around during the chorus. But I think you can really tell he's giving it his all for the rest of the vocals.

V's live is so addicting I love his high notes in stigma so much that i can't stop watching the live. Jimin doesnt sing much but just the way he dances is breathtaking the same for JK

Also every time I watch him do a solo live I cant help but think about how underrated V is vocally. His range is incredible but I see people talk more about his looks than his talent.

taehyung stigma is my fav

Taehyung Voice is amazing. The guy sing low, high, he growls and sing opera its crazy!

Stigma is a masterpiece. Taehyung's voice is amazing. He has the widest vocal range in BTS

Actually dancing apart....the whole concert is about 3-4 hours....so they have to conserve energy and stamina throughout the entire concept...

Stigma is the queen....Kim Taehyung aka V showing his vocal range...killing the high note....🤘

I miss this era. Such great performances!

Wait till you get to the other solo's of the boys. Notice how HIGH V went in this song, he goes insanely LOW in his solo Singularity. The range he has is insane! But man the fact he can hit those high notes even tho he is a barritone is so impressive!

That’s exactly why there’s a backing track. Most songs for Kpop idols will have a backing track some more some less. But artists with songs that have heavy choreography will have backing vocals 99% of the time. The great thing about BTS in particular (because I can’t speak for all of Kpop) is that they have plenty of opportunities to showcase their vocals live without them, especially with their acoustic and ballad sets.

Your reaction to tae’s high note was me when I first heard it😂😂💜💜

stigma live might be one of my favorite live performances of all time I wish I would have stan them during their wings era cause it's so iconic

There’s a video of Jimin just doing the dance to this song and you can tell it is a hard choreography. It is amazing how they can sing and dance at the same time

Love your reaction to Taehyung. He is an amazing singer.

You spoke about Jungkook looking older... it’s not just because he is actually older it’s because of his stage presence. Even his face shape seems to change on stage. For your own interest check out one of the ‘Kookie vs Jungkook’ videos. He has an incredible duality. They all have incredible stage presence come to that but JK is a chameleon.

Stigma live is one of my favorite performances ever, his voice range is crazy

Jimin, Jk and Jhope are skilled dancers and they good at technique but detail, precision and execution wise, for me it’s Tae. Taehyung's gestures, stage presence, facial expressions, always on point..

i can't wait for you to react to their performances at the MMA and MAMA

the reason jimin can’t sing all parts is because he is dancing at the same time, it is hard for him to catch his breath at moments, that’s why he is unable to sing every part of the song. the fact that he sings live while dancing at all is amazing, it’s a very very hard skill.

You have to check Singularity live stage compilation. The transtitions are amazing... and he. OMG!!!

Sometimes when I watch reactions on RU-vid I feel that Tae is very underrated vocal just like jin... But I am very happy you appreciated him... people often forget that Tae is baritone..and hitting those high notes is really hard and *painful* most importantly..but he does it perfectly...tae has insane vocal range... I am so proud of him😊 *V and Jimin are my bias but I love them all equally and I am so proud of them* 💜🥰

I'm glad you enjoy Lie as a song so much! It's one of my favorites too and probably one of BTS' most musically interesting pieces in my opinion. The Wings solo songs were probably the first chance all seven of the boys had to be really involved in the song making process (it was mostly the rap line contributing on previous albums). Lie for example was fully written and co-composed by jimin, plus he had the chance to be really involved in the production of the song, and you can feel the difference between this song versus something written by another member. Wings really allowed to group to show even more expansion in their musical range and versatility because of more members being involved in the music creation

Taehyung is the special singer is the group. He doesn't have to move or dance to be a real Presence on stage. He's got this special aura to be a solo singer in the traditional sense like Sinatra or Michael Buble. He's got a unique tone also that makes it instantly recognizable. He could leave Kpop behind and do is thing without problem. I'm not saying this because he's my bias cos he's not.

I think that using a pre-recording with such complex choreography is quite justified.

jungkook was only 19 here!

V is the only kpop idol that can kill low notes at the same time reach high notes👌💜

stigma is just a masterpiece

Jimin's voice is as awesome as his high note🧡his dance is fascinating🧡the man is an excellent artist in every way,too handsome🐥💛

Yes, Tae voice's just crazy.. His voice absolutely in lower range on Baritone type, but he can break the high range to C3 ~ C4/C#4.. I'm so proud of him 💜

Jk & Jimin amazing performer V 's vocals out of this world :)

V has the deepest most soulful voice in KPop yet could also hit the highest of notes!

taehyung's voice in stigma really is so soulful. he said that in his stigma performances, he focused more on his singing but you can't deny how charismatic he is in every little move of him. his voice is baritone and those high notes are really impressive and now, he improved much more.

a singer and a dancer here, can tell you Lie is a reaally hard one, while the choreography involves a lot of popping and locking in terms of dancing style, even moments with intense "dime-stops" (the harshest stops mid movement to create optical illusions) and great precision to achieve body lines (in short, it requires specific muscles to be engaged around your core so it will take most of your breath as you need to aggressively exhale to create those pops and all sorts of illusions) therefore making a lot of the falsetto, airy vocals and higher octave notes of the song more difficult to achieve while dancing, i'm actually quite impressed about the fact that he was able to sing at all lmao I could never!! this takes insane hours of practice 😳

Kpop groups usually have back tracks cause some of the choreo is absolutely insane but they do still sing most parts

Jungkook's stability and breath control will never cease to amaze me. The guy was basically running a marathon but was still able to give amazing live vocals. A true performer

THERES THE REACTION WE WERE WAITING FOR ON STIGMA!!!!!!! but yeah, jimin normally has a backtrack because his dances are very hard and take a lot of breath. the dance line in general normally does. jk is the most stable out of everyone in the whole group

They have a backtrack in the music bc they are dancing..it’s hard to dance and sing at the same time..so they sing live but when the dance goes hard they aren’t able to sing so they let the backtrack keep going..sometimes they do sing while there dance is going hard but just Incase they aren’t able to they have the backtrack

i'm already 7 months late but i just wanna add that Jungkook here performed his solo song after performing with 4 songs with the group from the start of the concert. the exhaustion and pressure piled up yet he still pulled up a very great performance with stable vocals adding also the fact that jhope, bts' dance leader, really pointed out that this choreography really is the hardest to perform live and it will make you lose weight. jungkook really is an amazing performer even with his young age, we stan💜

‘Nevermind’ is one of their songs, also Jimin has a tattoo of that word 😄 just thought I’d let you know💜

The choreography in Jimin's Lie is really hard and he's doing his best .Even without singing, it's really hard to breathe let alone sing. You can try to do it yourself you will find out. So I don't think it's reasonable to sing the whole song when you still have many and many songs to perform in one concert.

jhope said that begin choreography is the hardest

JK has the most stable voice...so you will mostly see him sing and dance at the same time...and the rappers

Taehyung has incredible vocal potential, actually. It can go from a low note to an incredibly high note in a matter of a second. He's my favorite vocalist in BTS

You hit the nail on the head with why there's a backtrack, just to provide consistency while he's dancing because lord knows most of us couldn't even do the dance, let alone sing a single live vocal at the same time haha. I will also mention that this is from 2017, and the whole band has improved so much in just the three years since. Not saying he wasn't amazing here, he is! I'd be interested to see what the Jimin of 2020 could do with this performance with all he's learned, experienced, improved, and trained in those three years.

In those performances they were tired af and out of breath because they had been performing for about and hour, and still, they NAILED IT 💜

Stigma Live Performance Kim Taehyung ( V) killing it. He has most widest vocal range and he used it in stigma and killed it. V's stigma and singularity live performance it's getting goosebumps always. He has most unique voice. Deep, raspy and soulful.

jimin is an amazing artist !!

for baritone voice high note is hard

Now since you finally realized Tae's crazy high note, I can sleep peacefully lol. Btw I really love your reactions, thank you for your effort to dive deeply into the theories. Side note: BigHit doesn't give Tae so many chances to show his vocal range (I'd love to hear his high notes often tho), the reason is as you can guess he is the only baritone vocalist, so Jimin and JK are the ones who generally do it. They are amazing as well. Especially since Jimin's voice is already high, he can do it so effortlessly. Also Jin can do it too, (he is my favourite with Tae, it's because he didn't have any singing experience in the past, so I respect him so much for that.) And for Tae, as I already said BigHit gives him parts which requires deep and soothing voice. So he CAN hit high notes, just he doesn't do often. The fact that he can hit these notes higher than my grades with this low voice really impresses me every single time. Also his high notes sound vocally so rich to me. So I would love to hear more, but ofc Bighit's decisions are not illogical for giving him these parts.

Jungkook is famous for singing live and dancing with very hard choreography at the same time. In a video, Jhope said he was shocked when he first saw the choreography for the song.he is a fantastic vocalist and dancer. And yes, Jungkook is a fan of Michael Jackson. He and Jimin danced Michael Jackson with song Black & White, which was very beautiful. I hope you see it.❤😇

wait react to “SINGULARITY”... thanks #MASTERPIECEKIMTAEHYUNG/V BTS👍🤴💜

Gotta appreciate how kpop idols work their ass off to entertain and to gain your admiration huh? Gotta do what the pro background dancers do while singing and more, years ahead of everyone else!

BTS call the performers who dance with them 'Dancers', never backups. It's just another reason they are so respected in their industry... They respect everyone they work with. When they do their solo numbers no other BTS member performs with them... They always use a backtrack on concert tours and sometimes on stage shows. It is because of the dance moves and sometimes because of audience interactions. Stay safe, Blessings.

⁠Jimin’s contemporary dancing to this song is so complex, so taxing, NO ONE - not even today, 3 years later - would be able to dance like that AND sing every note…particularly the high ones…though the highest note he DID sing! And by the way, this was just one of many of his Lie performances. His vocals are incredible, his vocal tone, his crystal clear high notes, everything! He’s been lauded one of the most unique, special voices on the planet by experts all over the globe! Haters like to make fun of him because he doesn’t belt like Jin or have the stereotypical R & B voice like JK…but that’s actually what most producers want today - something unique from everyone else! ALL of the members use backing tracks and always have…and yes, even JK!!

In kpop it is very common to use backing tracks as a way to give them a break while doing choreo. BTS just so happens to be one of the groups who NEVER lip syncs, so they use their backing tracks sparingly.

I definitely love wings era n the live performances /chefs kiss/, taehyung really doing a amazing job with his vocal im so proud😭 jungkook performance is one of top fav fo me i mean he dance so hard especially with that foot work but still able to sing most of his lyrics😌👏(watchin the behind performance of this concert makes me sad tho😔 they work so hard i-😢) Edit: they definitely improve to another level now the vocal the dance the overall performance is just awesome😤😍 cant wait fo you to finish this era n get to the recent ones😆

You can watch all 4 in one video, if you want. We will watch long videos. (I love, cause i'm doing nothing. 😂)

Our Kookie monster was just pulling out of puberty when "Begin" was released btw LOL

Jungkook is master of foot work jhope said it's the hardest choreography he sang with such stable voice too he is the king of stage presence he was just 19 💜 I like lie so much it's such a good song and the performance is breathtaking the choreography is so hard jimin did great job 💜 Stigma is not really my style but I still don't hate it and v worked hard on the vocal here 💜

Jungkook is the most stable vocals but this song is breathtaking and exhausted. We proud of you Jk

Stigma still Queen.

jimin's vocals really are angelic and magical. those dance moves really demands more from his body, but that doesn't mean he can't sing to lie live. our jiminie always works hard and always do his best that's why he's sometimes hard on himself but that's already in the past. jimin promised us that he'll love himself more (check his song "Promise" heheheh)

Loved your reaction to all the lives. Glad that you enjoyed them. Wait to you see their live performances further down the line. They're amazing!!

The backing track is there because of the choreography and because it's a concert where they are dancing and singing for hours continuously. The moments he rests are key moments, so you can see the backing track as a tool to help him give the best performance he can while dancing and singing. Also, sometimes songs have a members harmonizing with their own voice, obviously they can't do that on performances, so the backing track helps with those moments too. In group songs at concerts, when the choreo is a tiring one, the members sometimes leave a word or two out to catch their breaths (when there's no backing track, you just hear ARMY singing it but usually they practice so much for a concert that they often know when they should have a backing track so there won't be just silence). There's some cases they can't foresee though, and that's when they are sick. Also, in some songs, it becomes kind of a game between ARMY and BTS at concerts. They don't sing a part and let ARMY sing it instead, and you can tell they deliberately chose to let it be all silent because there's not backing track for it.

I think there's the intense choreo aspect, but they also do all their own harmonies in their song so I think that's another big reason for the backing track. They did do a tour with a live band though and it was awesome. I hope they do it more often because they sounded great and it really boosted an already amazing atmosphere.

Jimin, jungkook and V 💜

jungkook begin performance was 99 % live .he is main vocalist for a reason .

Glad you enjoyed their Performances. And yes you were Right with the backtrack. As others said their coreography sometimes makes it hard for them to sing and as we all know they are perfectionists. But I want to Point out one Thing: BTS never lipsyncs. A lot of People accused them of lipsyncing and I am gonna tell you now: They are so bad at lipsyncing :D And Yoongi stopped at an Award Show his verse to proof that they are singing live so yeah :D And your reaction to Taehyungs High Note was everything! :D

To be clear, they pretty much always have a backing track during live performances. Usually it’s only for specific parts where they raise the volume of the backing track to give the members breathing time or to make up for when they are dancing. Even Tae had a backing track to allow him preparation time for those high notes, which require precise technique.

BTS has an amazing group of dancers for their performances. It's usually the same main group of guys. They have a great relationship with them and they put on amazing performances. I am so happy that you watched these live performances, it really showcases some of their individual talents. Most of the time there is going to be a backtrack to their songs, either due to the heavy choreo and/or because they also sing the back vocals to the songs as well.

Wings is a Masterpiece

I think you missed something. V is coming out of the phone booth. The same one that RM was trying to get to. When the show the camera angle from the inside you can see the phone booth to the right of him just before he steps out.

Jimin on "Lie" performance balance the singing with the dancing. While in some parts of the performance he put all his voice out and the dance calm down a little bit, sometimes he stop singing to priorize the hard moves of the choreography. It's a common resource for performances but in Serendipity (his solo on LY era years after) he showed us that he improved a lot. Also Jimin in almost all the songs sings on a high vocal range despite the fact that his natural voice it's actually deep

I really wish I experience this live 😭

Lie Queen Of wings Album she have 100M stream in Spotify she’s the only side track with the title blood sweat and tears jimin thr lead vocalist did that 😍😍😍

Jimin killed it👏👏👑👑♥️

FYI: Jungkook was 17/18 when he performed begin. He performed begin after performing 5 songs since his solo song performance was the first solo performance during the concert. It is still to this day considered one of the hardest performance ranked by BTS themselves. Due to flashy and fast leg works and hard choreography , the boy still managed to sing it live. This song and live performance is the standard to measure how hard BTS’ performances are 💜

Jungkook is known for having the best stamina which is like he is the most stable while dancing. I always get emotional when i see jk performing this song cuz they had a docu-series called burn the stage back in 2017 and he was extremely exhausted after this performance and pushed himself so hard... Also you are right that jimin used backing track because of the hard choreo. He usually has the most difficul choreos for his solo songs and the fact that he has so many high notes in his songs doesn't help that either. He has really improved "stamina" wise though And tae...that high note kills me everytime... I'm glad he didn't have a choreo for that song so that we were blessed with this high note lol Also kinda curious, will you upload the run reactions on youtube later or will they be only for patreon?

I am so so so happy that this is a maknae line video and i don't even know why 💜

18:18 I saw that phone booth thing in real life at the temporary BTS exhibit 24/7=Serendipity in LA and I cried reading all of those things written in the walls. They were so emotional (not only that but the whole exhibit was beautiful and I cried many times 💀) also I was able to see many of the things they’ve worn (masks, stage clothes, mv clothes, etc) the piano yoongi played, the MAMA room (full with all the neon splatters), the Omelas 🥺🥺 but long story short it was beautiful, I cried, and the whole thing was emotional

Nice reaction 💜 don't worry it takes time to know about them .. armys are just defensive for BTS because of haters ..but don't be discouraged ...

11:23 he is dancing as well so dancing and singing high notes its realllyyyyy hard. I dont think i mind the track at the background

Crazy thing about jungkooks stage here is they had done like 4 songs already lol but he was the first solo to get on stage so the others had time to change and rest for a few before doing their solos where jungkook basically had none lol jungkooks stability physically and vocally is just crazy… it’s unmatched and he’s just getting better and better

Yep, its right, jimin dont sing every part of the song because of the coreography, it makes really hard to breathe well, kpop groups usually also have backtracks in songs which have a complex dance :) If you want, you can see fancams, they are way better to see the dance and notice how tiring it is. Im always amazed with how hard they work and give us amazing performances like that, unfortunately they constantly get hurt because of it, theres many times where they almost faint :( And YESS, taehyung voice is just--- wow his vocal range is so good, his falsettos always get me, thank you for reacting to this! Sorry if anything is wrong, Im still working on my english

written on the glass door was for stigma shortfilm concept

Stigma & taehyung is the king of all kings

Their vocal is good because always improved their vocal to be good untill now...

can't wait for u to do House of cards and Rain.. u will love..

jungkook vocals are so strong

Begin JK....Young Our Golden King:) Lie Jimin...Professional, amazing, emotional dance and sing... Stigma..V..very hard, important, beautiful lyrics and voice Tae...unique voice:) JK...it’ really begin...15 old year...and 6 hyungs with Him... JK voice and dance...amazing, beautiful:) I love music BTS ... I Love 7 Fantastic, unique Artists:) 7 amazing Our Kings:) BTS and Army... We are Bulletprof...Forever...Together:) Thanks for reaction:) Be Safe Everyone

It is to give Jimin a time to give some breathing room(after all Jimin is still human being.)because he is performing really intricate & hard choreography full times while singing. I know BTS does sing all the part live during their group performance, but you have to remember that because 7 of them are taking turn to sing & rap in those songs, so even though they are performing those hard choreography same time, each of them still has sometimes to breaths in between. Another reason is Jimin is originally a dancer & even though he is also famous & hugely loved by his beautiful unique vocal tones & crystal clear high notes, his biggest strength is his amazing beautiful dance & fans can’t get enough of his dance performances. So until now Jimin solo performances is focus on both, the full choreographed performances with those intricate, difficult & hard dance movements & his unique tones of beautifully expressive vocal. PS: I do noticed you are more into music & singing rather then their dance performances, but the choreography < lie> that Jimin is dancing is really difficult one (physically & emotionally). It is difficult to see from the video you have watched because of the dark stage lightings & other distractions. So may I please recommend for you to watch behind the scenes of MV < lie> Jimin’s dance performance video? Don’t need to react, if you don’t want, but please watch it. As it seems you do appreciate the song , You will see why BTS & their teams has advised Jimin to focus little more on dance performance. I promise you won’t regret seeing this. Because it has blown so many people’s mind how truly gifted dancer that our Jimin is. Here is the link! > I hope you would watch. Thanks again for your genuine reactions & hope you stay safe, healthy & happy!

Lie is crazy including vocals choreo visuals and lyrics it is all there Jimin has gotten his jams back😂

V🙌🙌🙌🙌💜💜💜💜
