First Time Hearing BTS "House of Cards" | LIVE | Reaction 

This was one of BTS's most beautiful live songs!💜💜💜

I think you hit the nail on the head and why BTS is so different and why they are on top. Each one of the members bring their own uniqueness to the group and they use their voices as instruments. No other group out there are like that. They try to imitate what BTS does but it just doesn’t work. Thanks for another great reaction Luke! Have a blessed rest of your day. 💜 🫰

The first time I heard House of Cards was this performance. I listened to it at least 10 times in a row because I simply could not believe how beautiful it was and how incredible they all sounded (and looked!). I've always felt that if it had been released later when they had become so famous, it would have won every music award known to the world. It is at the top of my Playlist of 85+ songs (and counting!), all of which are live performances if there is one of a song. For me there is nothing like a live BTS performance with few exceptions (Black Swan MV is of course an exception as well as ON Manifesto). They always give 100%, but when it is with Army there, it's 110%+. You feel it even when just watching a video. How much do I love this song? If someone told me I could only ever listen to one BTS song again, it would be House of Cards, hands down.

House of Cards is a BTS masterpiece. Hands down, one of the most beautiful songs ever written, recorded and performed live. I've been looking forward to this reaction all week, not only because I wanted to see your response, but also to know that you've finally been introduced to this amazing song.

House of cards equals harmonies! Period. The way the song progresses with each of their unique voices blending together layered with so many emotions, man that's how you make a song! This song in my absolute all time favourite. I can never get tired or bored of this song and this live performance especially. And to answer your question - yes, for songs that have deeper meanings and heaviness to it, you can easily spot the difference in their emotions and energy. Its something they have excelled in, to portray emotions through their voices. It breaks you every time.

House OF Cards is such an iconic and amazing song as I have never skipped it on my spotify list. This song is the type of song that i would imagine being in a drama or film like 50 Shades. The vocal line have such amazing and powerful vocals, that make you feel the emotion in your heart and you can just hear the emotion in their voices when they sing. Jimin’s, Jin’s, Jungkook’s and Vs vocals go really well with eachother and they each bring something different yet suttle to the song. So basically in my opinion this song House Of Cards is such a mood and a bop which makes me feel a certain way (if you know what i mean). Also this song has was way of being sensual yet dark and mysterious at the same time. Also the backing vocals makes this song feel even more intense and you can really feel the song and the melody of it right in your heart. Also the live performance blew me away so much as just seeing their faces full of emotion made the song ten times better. Also this song has to be one if not the most beautiful and majestic songs by BTS. Also i dont know what its called but i love Jungkooks ‘dobidobidoo’ bit half way through the song as you can really hear the emotion behind it as Kookie’s voice is just so beautiful for this type of song. Also i love the way they always put Jimin and Jungkook together to sing certain parts as their voices match perfectly with each other and sound amazing together. Also i love Jimin’s voice in this song as its just so beautiful and majestic and i could talk about his voice all day (as he is my ultimate bias). Also i could listen to the vocal line all day everyday and never get tired of hearing their voices, its like in this song they are serenading me and making me fall for them even more than i can. I just love the vocal line so much and talk all day about how and what they make me feel but i have to keep it PG here. Also i can understand you saying you are literally melting in your seat right now cause i melt everytime i listen to this song, this is just how the vocal line makes us armys feel all the time. I also love Jimin’s and Jungkook’s highnote aswell and i love how they slow it down then getting more passionate and same i live this song song much i cant explain how this song makes me feel in words.

I was already excited about the fact that you were going to react to House of Cards. But you even chose the live... I'm speechless. Their live performance of this song , is a gem. I love them so much. 💜💜 Thanks for this reaction, Luke.

Luke, don’t forget to react to CRYSTAL SNOW!!! All of them including rhe rap lines are so amazing, this song is as crystal clear as their voices especially Jin’s. Please react to this one!!🥺🥺🥺

BTS the best group House of cards is an amaizing master piece Vocal line unic Jiminnn

Jin's voice is beautiful

Yeah, the mood of the stage changes with different songs, during their concerts. Songs like HOC lower the energy - although they put so much passion and emotion into their vocals, the physical energy is less, so I think they are put in strategically to give them a small reprieve, when they need it. I think HOC came quite far into this particular concert and the four vocalists were quite spent, physically, here. When they did solo performances, they also used them strategically to give needed breaks to members (except poor Jin went straight from Epiphany into TTU). This is such an incredible song, and they were quite young here - it’s a really sad song when you read the lyrics, but they put such desperation into the vocals and performance, it’s kinda sexy…🤷‍♂️🙈 Thank you for the reaction 💜💜

I loooooove this song soooo much!! The emotion in their faces, the perfect harmonies... Did you notice they leave the stage before the end to let us "digest" the emotion? There is a twin song: the Truth Untold... Another perfection!

Being ARMY is just the best thing you can do. So true, Luke, so true. And never be ashamed of tears or emotions. I respect you so much for not hiding them in the slightest. Have a great Sunday and take care 💜

In the LY tour, The Truth Untold was followed by Tear. Powerhouse section of the show. Both intense and emotional in totally different ways.

You’re so adorable, Luke! I love how you always share your emotions with us, it’s just precious. Please never change and never get shy to show what you feel 💜

My very favorite! The vocal line shines, but I fell in love with Jin's emotional belting voice, "No Way, No Way, No Way!"

With my popcorn literally it's 11.40 pm here.

The 4 best vocalists in the entire world, ever.

I'm so happy for you to finally reacting to this masterpiece. BTS's ability to sing live is unbelievable. For a long time they were slandered that they apparently use playback in concerts, otherwise how could they sound so good. But BTS like BTS did not respond with words to slanders, but simply proved it on stage. Suga used to stop singing many times in his parts so that everyone would see that there was no playback, they alternated the singing parts between them. It doesn't seem to me that anyone today, and in fact for a long time, dared to say this. Thank you 🙏 . 보라해 💜💜💜

The thing about Jin is that he is VERY consistent, and ALWAYS flawless live. 💜

If two years ago, someone would have told me that I would be skiing here listening to and loving my favorite reactor, a Brit, reacting to a sensual, jazz song by the world's best vocal line, to possibly the best performing and most handsomely gorgeous group in history, I would have said they were nuts! Bit this 70 year old American educator will remain an avid and rabid (!) fan until there us no more breath in my body. Even if they were to end the group. And the main reason is their character and who they are. They are amazing, caring human beings who have changed the world with their endearing and enduring love which seems to limitless capacity for endurance and scope. May they be blessed forever with happiness, fulfillment, and love for all they are and have done. Ahpo bangpo 💜

This song is stunning. One of my favorites. Luke, you’re not the only one that tears up when they sing. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Luke, your facial expression when JK was scatting at 4:07 was priceless. I love how they incorporated that jazz element into the song. The first time I ever heard the song I hollered: "Is Jungkook scatting?! No way!" 😝

This performance is magic, is like a James Bond song, the vocal line killed 👌🔥

"Una orquesta de voces" realmente se siente así. Qué alegría poder compartir contigo esta canción 😍 Bendiciones ❤️ 💜🇦🇷🇦🇷

I love songs with vocal dynamics and BTS Vocal Line is serving us well with their amazing vocal talents. House of Cards is one of the songs I listen to and try to sing to as well 😅. Jimin and JK harmony is my favorite part. I’m glad you also love this song. Thanks Luke! 💜😉

Love that YoU are part of the fandom Luke!!!!!!!! 💜 StayGold 🙌🏻🥰

This song helped me so much with my breakup lol...it still hurts so good this song,no matter how many times I listen 😂😂

i remember seeing a guy watch lollapalooza, and he talked about how the order of the songs performed is so important, because you have to manage the energy of the crowd. like, if everything is all high energy for 2 to 3 hours, the audience is gonna be exhausted and lose interest/be less engaged half way through i was tryna think of their Permission To Dance concerts, and that checks out! they opened the concerts with songs like ON, Fire, (break for introductions) Idol, DNA, and then a video plays on the screen while they do their outfit changes. in that time, the audience has had enough time to calm their heartrate down. then, when they come back out, they perform Blue & Grey (a ballad), black swan, (break) blood sweat n tears, and fake love. and it continues like that, so they keep the audience interested and dont kill them by the end of it LMAO. i thought that was really cool, when the guy pointed it out!

House of Cards is such a beautiful song. The harmonies are beautiful

The strength of BTS' vocal line is the way each of their voices is so different and identifiable as you said. JK's scat singing is the icing on the cake. This song puts you through the wringer. I warned you that you'd need tissues. It is heart wrenching. They extract every bit of emotion out of you in this one. There are three performances I can't wait for new reactors to BTS to get to: Daechwita, MMA 2019 and this one.

I love the "orchestra" of voices and Avengers analogy! 🙂 Spot on!

Thank you for your genuine, heartfelt reactions. They are a joy to watch…even though there are lots of tears to go around on both sides of the screen, they make my day brighter. House of Cards has been one of my favorites for a long time. This live version I watch often. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, time and your love of BTS. Truly ARMY in every sense of the word. Please keep doing these. Although I am OT7 all the way, I love V. Hey from the SouthWest.

JK outstanding as usual. His harmonisation make the difference.

House of Cards is one of my absolute faves from the vocal line... It pierces my soul! 💜

This is personally one of my very fav song by vocal line. I love these boys so much💜 You should try "Heartbeat" next. That song is amazing too. Love your reactions💜💜

Man, I always love your reactions. The way you talk about BTS just goes straight to my heart. I don't often cry over the songs anymore, because I usually listen to them in public, so I learned to control it, but when you start talking about how amazing the boys and the songs are with such conviction, that makes me cry right there. You just understand. You get it 💜 As for a song you haven't heard yet, I suspect you might not have heard Heartbeat. It's a hidden gem. Even Jungkook forgot about it 😂. It was a song BTS did as part of a soundtrack for a mobile game called BTS world. In the game you play BTS' manager and you're supposed to help them debut and get popular. But there are also side stories that are fictional for each member (it's not the Bangtan Universe story, these stories are unique to the game). I'm telling you this, because the song has a music video that shows clips from both the main story of the game as well as each of the side stories. And the song is just lovely. Definitely recommend!

I hope at some point they do this again, it is composed so beautifully, the lyrics are so well said, and their vocals, perfection, their hand offs, harmonizing, This is all in the pocket for all of them and no one over sings or outshines the other. so balanced.

House of Cards is beautiful and haunting at the same time. I can feel the vacuum in my heart, that sinking feeling and pain of a failing love and yet it doesn’t depress me but makes me float on 5he haunting melody and their soulful voices 💜💜💜💜💜💜

You gave the most perfect description of BTS that I have ever heard, in my 6 years of being ARMY. Also, you held up much better than I thought you would. But there are songs we all cry to, even after listening to them for years. Never fear the tear ! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Totally in love with Jimin's voice

I’ve finally caught up with your videos. When I started around a week ago, you had 134,000 subscribers and now it’s at 141,000! Congratulations! It’s all because of your infectious enthusiasm, coupled with your emotinal reactions make you very relatable to Army.

Goosebumps every time! Love this song.

Ohh and you should go check out it’s definaly you from V and Jin if you haven’t ☝🏼📈

As much as u feel privileged to be a part of ARMY, I also feel the same to have a genuine member like u in our family. Thanku!!!😇

There are too many parts of this song that take my breath away. I love that you let them touch you. I love BTS for their sincerity above all else, and I love how much you experience music with your whole self. Thanks for sharing it. 💜

House of Cards is one of my favorite BTS songs. I just feel the lyrics! When they sing it's fallling, it's collapsing, I can feel myself collapsing listening to theses lyrics!

I saw Permission to Dance concerts in L.A. and Las Vegas. The concert started out with high energy/hard choreo songs (ON, Fire, Dope, DNA). Next were opening comments and then a short video (while members change). They next performed Blue & Grey, very somber, no choreo, reflective looking into a "mirror". Afterwards was a transition, with just an instrumental from B&G, they walked from the main stage to the center (?) stage, lighting changed, dancers appeared, the members did a quick hidden costume change, and they went into a beautiful production of Black Swan, followed by Fake Love. As the audience is now drained, the members walk away one by one as the final notes of Fake Love play out, lighting changes to dark. There was again another short video, wardrobe change. That was the first 40 minutes of a 2 hour concert.

Please listen to Heartbeat. The combination of Jk and Jimin on that song is exquisite

They usually put emotional songs at the end of their concerts so you might leave the stadium literally crying. Atleast I did 💜😭 They are top peformers and know how to change the mood and atmosphere to play the next song :)

This song gives me mad chills!!!! Great reaction! Thanks for sharing!💜

Yep, BTS’s voices together is magical!!!!!!

Hobipalooza, Attack on Titan, House of Cards...this weekend's content was made just for me 💜

The vocal line is outstanding, I just love all of BTS songs 💜💜

This is such a masterpiece! I love how each one of the guys bring something special to this song, their voices are so amazing 💜💜

The quality as singers, composers, dancers, group, personality and as human beings is extraordinary, and what the world needs to cure souls and hearts to be happy with their great and special performances...I love them 🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

7:01 ur my bestie from now on!!!🫂 Lets go kim seokjin squad!!!💜✨️🙌🏻 Ur definitely a jin biased bro!!!😂

In Attack on Titian once you finish season 1, you can't move on to season two without watching the OVAs! These are episodes that aren't officially in the series however they are most definitely canon episodes important to the main plot of the series (some not extremely canon) these ova's consists of more information that will probably help you understand the next season better answering some questions that you will soon be asking. I think the most important ones you should watch are A Choice With No Regrets part 1 and 2 and Ilse's Notebook.

Susan and I pushed so hard for this song on the twitch vote for weeks! I'm so glad we finally got the vote and you reacted to it. The vocal line is amazing but watching them do it live and see them connect to the lyrics is something else. House of Cards is one of my all time favorites so glad you enjoyed it! Next one will definitely have to be Your Eyes Tell...it's a song written by JK and is a 7 member song.

BTS indeed is the BEST!!! They can serve u studio version as it is live....n u wouldn't know. "No one else stands a chance". INDEED!!!💜🤴🏻

💜💜💜 this is the song I have been waiting for you to do. I mentioned it on my first ever comment on RU-vid to you. I first listened to it with out the subtitles and I sobbed, just the emotion even though I didn’t know what is about. Thanks 💜💜💜💜

This song never fails to give me goosebumps and tears 😭😭😭

I'm so happy I'm not the only one who tears up everytime I listen to BTS. They are just so beautifully brilliant. The vocal line's voices harmonize so gorgeously.

This is such a soulful, beautiful song. Glad you finally got to react to it. I'd love to see you react to Truth Untold (live version) and Stigma (live version). These are both vocal line songs as well, and are just amazing!

bts is one out of a million😍 so talented and beautiful in every way

Omg, one of my all time favourites, totally love it, vocals wow 💜💜💜💜

Ahhh wonderful reaction Luke to a beautiful song. I love watching you react to BTS. Your genuine love for them shows and it's heartwarming. If you get the chance then try and watch It's Definitely You by V and Jin. I always want to ask for it on the live streams but the version which I actually like best is a behind the scenes practice by Bangtan Subs from BTS Prom Party and it's over 10 minutes long, which of course is way too long for the stream. It's absolutely wonderful. Thank you Luke for all that you do 💜💜💜

This song is one of my favorites! The vocal line is so amazing! Their voices are the best I've ever heard and they compliment each other so perfectly. Sheer perfection!!

you are not alone, we feel exactly the same way 💜

House of Cards is pure magic 🧚🏼💗 maybe if you want you could hear the final countdown from &Audition there really new and there debut will be soon 🫶🏼

House of Cards gives me goosebumps every time, the live is the best. I wish they still sang this song live.

That’s such a good analysis of this song, I’ve never thought of it that way. 👌

00:00 (Zero O’Clock) is a beautiful song that really helped me work through my depression

Love them sooooo much !!! Next suggestions OT7 : Dead Leaves written and produced by Suga or Love Maze 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 But all their songs are amazing and help me each day ☺️ Take care everybody 😌

How can baby angels have a thousand lifetimes of human emotion?

House of cards is my favorite vocal line song. The music, the lyrics, the vocals - hauntingly beautiful. I love them so much! Thank you for your take on it 💜

I love this song....I love this video. The emotions they bring to this, along with their voices is just beautiful. 💜

You HAVE to listen to seventeen’s vocal team ‘Same dream, Same mind, Same night’ absolute masterpiece

bts concerts are emotional roller-coasters. last concert i went to they playing the truth untold, the entire crowd crying, and the next song was outro tear, the entire crown whipping their tears while jumping and headbanging lmao. after house of card, its intro what am i to you by rm. so u got the mood set from house of cards and then next u get slapped by namjoons rap. lol

Please do react to Jhope's "Mama" live (Eng subs) on Osaka. He poured his heart to this song saying how he was greatful to his mother by always staying by his side during his trainee days despite his dad's disapproval. She always encourages him and even worked multiple jobs to support him financially. The song says- " Hey Mama You can lean on me now, always beside me. Hey Mama, You've always given to me selflessly. Hey Mama, Now you can rely on your son and just smile Hey Mama! " I really hope you'd like it. Its always getting me emotional. NOTE: In his performance, the music is stopped accidentally. He was a bit confused but still sang, and the Army's loud voices helped him till the music's back again (so proud :)). But that might be cut off by the channel holders. Whatever....he poured his soul and heart out during his performance and that was very touching...makes me thinking of mom..always an inspiration for me If possible......I'll be looking forward. And you'll be shocked by the performance too. Thank you💜🐿️

BTS vocal line's O o'clock live performance is beautiful !

Beautiful and insightful reaction to our boys. I love your energy.

I’m so happy that you found BTS, it sounds like you really needed them. Legend says that you always find them right when you need them, and that’s the way it was for me too 💜

You really need to watch a full show, you'll be mind blown, believe in me, they are amazing live!

To me this song was the best showcase of their vocal talents and how well they all meshed to make this esquisite masterpiece. Master Class! 💜💜💜💜

I agree with you, this song is so beautiful and brilliant!!! Many reactors have already likened BTS to the Avengers. I also see them as 7 angels that spread love and humility across the globe. Don't worry about tearing up bec you're not the only one who feels that way with this song 😉💜.

I am always amazed by how good you are at expressing your thoughts and feelings with words. "orchestra of voices" "each one is singing their own song" Even when I think I will not watch your videos until the end I always do!

Beautiful song and even more beautiful live singing from our guys. Stunning. 💜💜💜

This song is one of my BTS song favorites.

This is a beautiful song you can hear a pin drop in the stadium, same with Truth Unotld, they all do an amazing job love them both and yes, they both made me cry as well. I am an older army not afraid to say how they made me cry!

This song made me realise they’d make a great Bond song, just so good

The fantastic 4. This piece is extraordinary. "Film out" and other songs in japanese are fantastic. "Louder than bombs" is a must. "Mikrokosmos" "Zero o´clock", and "Jamais Vu" are beautiful. "We are bulletproof: the eternal" is the story of BTS and ARMY, also a beautiful one. I´ve been listening to all the albums and there are some fantastic little known songs that are a blast.

"it ended like it's a Bond song" ..so true 💜

Great reaction. Thank you for verbalizing all the things I have thought about BTS as a group and especially about this song. Sending 💜back to you. 💜

Your swearing when you realized it was only the vocal line. 😂😂😂 I was cracking up.

Oh, and my suggestions for what to listen to next, based on how much you loved this -- Film Out, or the MTV unplugged performance of Fix You (by Coldplay). If you thought the harmonies here were awesome (which of course they ARE) -- then Fix You will explode your brain, lol. ;)

One of my favourite songs of all time. I live it so much. They all seemed so invested in the song, it is amazing. You hit the nail on the head, they all sound so unique but fit together so well. Love your reactions.

Funnily enough the rapper line usually follows to hype up the audience again it's random but it works it's an emotional roller-coaster that's freaking awesome!!!!!

BTS has a few songs that everyone in the fandom needs to hear. "We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal" and "2!3!" being some examples. In my personal opinion, I think everyone should experience the "I Need U" music video and the "Intro Performance Trailer".

Another masterpiece sung by the vocal line!
