First Watch Reaction: IU 아이유 Bad Day Live at Love Poem Concert (SHOCKING PERFORMANCE!!) 

Early IU's voice was slightly different than it is now, stronger and clearer yet able to convey a quivering heartbreak. For example, the Dream High OST 'Someday', 'Only I Didn't Know', or 'Bad Day'. It was later that she perfected her patented breathy vocal technique. In some ways juvenile IU sounds more mature than later IU.

Never ceases to amaze me, how she can go on for hours and never lose that magical thing, that special something that it's only hers and her concerts. That power of hers to draw us into the rabbit hole with her... And we're never getting out on our own free will. Happy FrIUday, as always 🥰

Bad Day is such an emotional song and IU put all her emotions into the song. You can feel the pain and anguish. As you said on Twitter, IU literally bent her body into the song.

I think this is the song she wrote back when she was 15?..such talent!

I think you need to see bigger picture for Bad Day (self composed and self written by IU), as in my opinion (either intended by her or not) Bad Day can be our linchpin to understand her lyricism, or more precisely her "self-love" song storyline Bad Day, as IU said, is song abt the day she "hate herself" and its written from her diary notes. For me its one of her saddest and darkest song. That orchestra/big band insert, in my opinion represent "chaos" and many mixed feelings in your head. Furthermore, if you connect Bad Day to her life/ early career, also to her other song abt "self-love" you'll see clearer picture. personally, I see Bad Day as zero point of her "self-love" storyline, then we got 23 -> Palette -> Eight -> Lilac. My Sea is basically a recap song, on how she conquer her "Bad Day" to love herself more. as trivia, Bad Day desperate lyrics also answered brightly by Celebrity : IU - Bad Day (2013) : "If spring never comes, would that be better?" IU - Celebrity (2021): "Can’t you see how beautiful spring will be?"

I love her music. I love her performance. I love her personality. So.... All I can do is love her.

Thanks for your reaction😊 BTW: There is a small connection between Bad day and celebrity. IU says: Would it better if spring never came. Then in Celebrity IU says something along the line of: In winter a flower can bloom between the frozen crack, look how beautiful tomorrow's spring can be. It is almost as if IU is encouraging her past self.

IU Voice is everything...

I don’t understand the lyrics still I felt the pain.Her vocal, emotion and the bending body are all unaffected together, it’s beyond a performance, it’s the form of her inner spirit likes an energetic flow melted me , and sucked my soul into it’s spiritual world that she provoked. IU is a delicate powerhouse and amazing artist.

IU rarely sing this song in13 years. As you know all her songs is really good that it's hard to choose just a few to perform in her concert. I hope you check her first album and her early songs too so you will know how she grow as an artist she is now. her collaborations too with other artist i must say she love to work with great producers or she is good in seeing one.

This song is so beautiful.

Appreciate the Uaena light back there XD

Uuuu I just though of something to suggest you 😍 another gloomy song of hers, a rare jewel a bit hidden from the world, a colab sadly overlooked that reminds me of the feel of Bad Day, here goes the link (the fact that it has so few views remains the world's biggest mistery to me): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-koQaeKXPPdg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--gphfykp-Xo.html

I can’t help to notice the little monitor on your coffee table, that’s so cool! How you get that thing?
