Opera Singer Reacts To Hi Ren | Hi Ren Reaction Video | Tea Time With Jules 

Get a better camera!

Ren is a Poet, a Singer, a Rapper, a Musician, a Composer, a Songwriter, a Storyteller, an Actor.......An ARTIST. He's completely in a class by himself. He's a mix between the singer/songwriters of the 70s and the Bards of the 16th/17th century. He self-identifies his "genre" as BARDCORE. Ren was also a part of a band, "the Big Push"; they've got a bunch of videos also, especially of them playing live. Ren has suffered the last 10+ years with mis-diagnosed Lyme disease. He went into the doctors complaining of pain all over his body and joints. As they never found what was causing it, they instead said it was all in his head and treated him with psych-active/tropic drugs. Meanwhile, the Lyme not only damaged his body but also his brain. He's currently in Canada trying to heal his body. One thing that I never heard you mention, maybe because as a performer it's what you're use to and didn't find it So special is, that was done entirely LIVE. No pre-recorded music and lip-syncing in this video. Yes, there were multiple camera angles, but it was still LIVE (you can see the mic at the top of his gown).

Ren is THE most versatile artist I have come across. And belive me, I've had a lot of time 🤣 he reaches forward and grabs your soul

im a 60 year old martial arts student, been on it for like 35 years. when i saw Ren for the first time performing that, it got me, deep inside me as a human, it touched me, and i cried. hes an amazing storyteller, and a wise one if you ask me. respect for Ren, what he does, and how he does it. nuf said for me:D

Isn't he just the best thing around? Beautiful reaction! Hi Ren should have a disclaimer at the start to warn that this song is highly addictive and will have you hooked on Ren for life!

This guy is a special talent. and right now he needs all the support he can get. he is presently in Canada getting help with his physical issues and sharing his stuff across all platforms will help him enormously. I'm 60 yrs. Ren is one of the most creative people it has been my pleasure to experience. He is just so good at everything. pure breath of fresh air. I enjoyed your reaction.

It's been 20 years. I finally heard something absolutely original, right down to the non-borrowed chords. Keep that noose on your throat loose..

I’ve been beating myself up for days - years! - so I felt like screaming; this song helped me stop.

The most impressive part to me is that his videos are mostly one shot, all performed live and super well choreographed.

Nice reaction. This should be part of every high school curriculum.

I've never known a song to spawn so many reaction videos in so short a time. Well done Ren, well deserved recognition for a great artist!

He is a brilliant artist in every respect, he was misdiagnosed for years ,living in sickness and mental health issues when he actually had Lyme disease which has compromised his immune system among several other very serious health conditions, he is currently here in Canada undergoing daily iv treatments and treatments to try to heal the neuro pathways in his brain with surgeries lurking down the road, he is a wordsmith, a rapper, singer and amazingly brilliant storyteller, great reaction, i suggest, The Hunger or The Money Game parts 1 and 2 from him.

Negative self talk is brutal - and many people suffer from it. This recording is live, which makes it that much more impressive.

I just heard Ren for the first time less than 2 weeks ago. I have not been this invested in an artist ever. 😊 I’m so happy that people are sharing this and keeping the momentum going.

I have severe mental illness. This song resonates with me.

FRESH doesn't even begin to describe the artistry Ren shares with us mortals- he's a special dude.

Nearly EVERY reaction I saw ends this with silence, "wow", "profound" and "i have not the vocabluary to describe this". Also the moment the reactors are captured in the moment when he talks to the intimest feelings in us at the end is fabulous. Watch them breath heavier as it is beginning to hit even the "hardest" males.

i am a julia too :) Love ren. I am 55 and grew up listening to the best- reminds me of being excited about music again. I also have had a severe chronic illness for 30 years so his work speaks to me.

You might like this particular Ren video. It's one of those rare songs that I can't get out of my head. It's a duet, and was recorded a year ago, and it's titled: 'Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live)'. It isn't exactly opera, but it's hauntingly beautiful, especially with the two voices blended together: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-35yALr_opeg.html

A modern day Bard. In that a bard is a musical storytelling artist. You won't be disappointed.

Welcome to Ren!! Great reaction!

I love the way he didn't play the last note, because his song is not over. It goes on.

Great reaction! Ren is really bringing out the best in some reactors, making them break down and come to terms with serious issues on mental health and awareness. Well played. I would say maybe after you pause to rewind it by 10 seconds or so? It allows the flow to almost reset without starting exactly where you stopped it and possibly miss any meaning or musical crescendo. A tonne of top reactors always go back a little bit and I think it's helps. Just and observation. Keep going!

FYI, this was a single shot. While there are multiple cams, he did all of this in a single shot. A single shot.

He is bringing all of us together

Definitely a performance that has a haunting effect.

Your channel is small so far, but I think that will change. I see you're both smart and expressive, aware of various genres, and capable of finding life-changing music early! I'm subscribed now, happy to support your growth. I look forward to seeing more Ren with you. This was his big break, but he's got lots of great work out there! Then, when you're ready for rapid expansion, I'd highly recommend Nightwish, too. Very different genres, of course (symphonIc metal vs whatever Ren is doing...rap, mostly?), but like Ren, Nightwish has amazingly poetic lyrics, emotional pull, and an enthusiastic fan base. Best of luck on your YT journey!

I had the exact same reaction the first time I heard this. The creative artistry, on every level, is second to none. The topic, the musicality, the setting, the cinematography ( I love the use of lighting, which helps emphasise the contrast between his two identities ) the lyrics and the passion of their delivery, the vocal control, the diction ( even at pace ), the incredible guitar techniques, the fact that a 9 minute song can hold our attention so intently for every millisecond. This is flawless, meaningful art and medication for the soul. I have posted so many links, of the song, and its reactionary videos, to my social media sites and I know, instantly, from the comments i receive, those " friends " who understand the difference between nice music and creative genius. I would suggest ; those who truly understand this incredible piece, have experienced some degree of mental health issues or at the very least understand the constant internal struggle of the human condition. Those who aren't emotionally moved by this piece of creative genius are, probably, the lucky ones who stroll through life without any real concerns or set backs.

Loved seeing someone appreciate him like I do. I think this kid is special.

Ren is a break-out artist, that is just beginning to get some of the attention he deserves. I’m drawn to profound meaning and emotions in art and music, and this guy’s got it in spades. Good job on your reaction!

Great reaction, this song is genius!

This was a great reaction. I am so glad that he brought me to you. I am a first time viewer and an instant subscriber. This performance is sending shock waves around the world. It's so relatable to people in all walks of life. We all have inner struggles and demons that we have to go through. Whether it's doubt, self esteem, addiction or mental health issues. So, people are finding a connection to an unexpected place. Each other. I have seen reactors as well as people in the comments section telling stories about their own personal struggles and how they are coping each day. An amazing amount of people are reaching out, saying that they felt alone in their battle. To find an astounding amount of people saying that same exact thing. Proving the point, a falsehood the way no words can. I think that with just one song, he has proven his own words true. He IS a genius and the waves that he is creating are tsunami in scale. This may be more important than he could ever imagine.

He is so original , insightful and versatile guitarist

This line is so damn deep, "As I got older I realised that there were no real winners, Or no real losers in physiological warfare, But there were victims and there were students" Psychological warfare meaning the lies, games and tricks our own minds play on us. Inner thoughts telling us one minute such positive and happy thoughts only to be trampled over and crushed by the thoughts of how worthless we are, we should give up whatever we do as individuals that we enjoy or do to express ourselves as individuals. But that Negative Bias we've been hardwired with since man first walked the earth and we needed it to survive back then, but now it only serves to destroy our own hopes and dreams with thoughts and words no one else can hear but us. And when he said, "But there were victims and students" meaning are you going to roll over and let that war inside your head keep you depressed, beaten and broken? Or will you learn from it, grow and be in better control of those thoughts when they arise.

Great reaction. New subscriber. Welcome to the amazing rabbit hole that is the music of Ren. He is a phenomenon, a truly incredible artist.

subbed, great reaction, more Ren please! Peace and love from Bavaria!

Ren Has Become Our Wren A Bird that is beautiful and frail Yet the song his reaches beyond the visual In the face of adversity the song becomes everything we need to hold onto

Nice to see a reaction of yours, really enjoyed watching you see the artistry that is Ren. I hope to see you do more Ren reactions. I am now going to look at your other reactions. I really hope to see a reaction to a song by LP. If you haven't reacted to her you should. Her blend of opera and folk vocals is something I think you'll find intriguing.

That was a really insightful reaction, thank you. Can I suggest you take a look at Rens trilogy, The Tale of Jenny and Screech, there is a live version on here, performed in Brighton, UK. It's actually a 360 performance, so you get to see the crowds reaction too. Peace ✌🏻

I think that was a beautiful reaction. And you made me cry with it on this one

I appreciate your use of "profound" at the end. Its always been my best explanation of Ren and his work. ALL of his work.

Absolute masterpiece by my favourite artist of all time. Loved your reaction. You seem so kind and gentle. And respectfully from one woman to another, you are stunning! 🖤

It is a wonderful moment when true beauty pops up in my feed, a Rossetti 'Wilding' for the U Tube age, so Thank You for that ! Who would see that jump from Tolkein's lyricism to REN's poetry, but you're right it is there. Lovely sensitive reaction also. On a personal level, I have been following REN most of this year for many reasons. It's a relief actually ! Not to be continually harking back ... to Bach, Zeppelin, Nina Simone and Billy H, Coltrane, Sabbath etc And as you say this speaking truth to things, directly and with poetry, through so many artistic mechanisms is remarkable, I'm hooked. Is REN our hybrid Savant, our fluid chameleon genius ? I do hope you react some more to his work.

Great genuine reaction. I stumbled upon Ren a couple months ago. I am amazed at his sincere emotional delivery of sounds and content that reinforce each other. Masterful artist, actor and entertainer.

I'm so happy he's getting the attention he deserves. I've been his fan for years now, and I've hoped for this moment. Thank you so much for the reaction, it was great!!

A work of art, a master piece.

Jennys tale, Screechs Tale, Violets Tale (full) Enjoy :)

That was the word i came to first....PROFOUND, and left me in tears and fighting for words. Had to donate to Ren, and share him with everyone I know. Great react @The MC"s Channel Violets Tale hits hard for me x

You're the first person to react to his line "I've spent half my life ill". Just a little grimace, but I've always felt that line was so sad, and no one seems to notice it. So subbed for that alone.

Sometimes a piece of artistic work comes along that changes everything. When I first heard this piece I was blown away by the writing, then I was blown by the visuals of the dichotomy of the inner and outer characters, then I was blown away when I put the pieces together. I sat quietly for awhile and realized I had just witnessed one of the greatest pieces of art I have ever seen. To recognize in words that voice we all have both inner and outer than defines who we are. Our experience, our mental shape, our dreams and hopes and our regrets. I think over time this song and performance may be seen as one the greatest works of art to shape humanity in 10 generations. In an era of AI where braindead souls ask a machine for help, here we have a guy trying to figure himself out by himself and doing a damn fine job at it.

I loved how Ren's creative intensity and your responsivity flowed so harmoniously together.

I've been watching the reactions since it came out, and finally someone mentioned Gollum.

Thank you for such a heartwarming and honest reaction and for helping bring Ren's music to a wider audience. If you thought this was an emotional musical masterpiece, then check out his triogy The Tale of Jenny and Screech (the full version has all 3 in one video). It blows this out of the water in terms of emotional impact and storytelling ability. Genuinely a modern day Shakespearean tragedy in 3 parts.

A must watch is Jennys tale, screechs tale, violet's tale. But it MUST be in that order. Now 😢

Ren is a modern day bard.

That was great, thanks mate!

I have been obsessed with "Hi Ren" reactions. I love yours!!! First time hearing you. New Subscriber! Would you consider doing "The Tale of Jenny & Screech"?

Hi really interested to see an opera singer react to this, there’s definitely an operatic quality to this, musical storytelling connecting human emotions to big biblical/eternal themes. His sung introduction put me in mind of the Queen of the Night aria from the Magic Flute; which also paints a musical journey through day and night towards a deeper understanding of love and happiness.

You had my sub at LoTR fan!! lol. This man is an amazing performance artist...amongst other things.

My brother is in Canada at the moment getting treatment, he is real not like these idiots now pretending to be what they aren’t!, what ever words you hear from him are real. He signed with Sony 10 years ago but they dropped him when he got sick, he’s independent and trying to break through when he isn’t Ill ❤

Watch his announcement of this video. It’s hard to watch but important that people do.

10 second rewind helps reset the mood of the song. I know you understand. You are awesome. You do let the songs run and feel the emotions. Thank you.

i love ren and especially this song of im, but this video also shows what a wonderful person you are - you can see how you go with im through his emotions and thoughts - i was able to experience the song even deeper through your reaction to his music, the expressions in the face - thank you!

Just liked and subscribed to your channel.. great reaction.. you definitely need to check out more of REN's music. , Hi there from Northern Ireland 🇮🇪

This piece is on par with Shakespeare but in modern form. it captures the essence of all emotions in an amalgamation and manifestation of the primordial struggle in the human psyche. An eternal battle that is as old as the dawn of time. This is more than just a song, it is apiece of art that i'm sure will last the test of time. It's quite hard to put words on the feelings of our inner struggles but this is spot on. And regardless of the severity of our struggles what he depict here is completely relatable to everyone and that is the genius and bravery of it. It takes some real guts and a really special person to be this vulnerable.

Some Smiles are made to Brighten Everyones Day

I thought about Golem, too!!! It's one of my favorite scenes from Lord of the Rings. You are the first reactor who makes this connection (I've watched about 15, I think). I love your facial reactions, too :)

You looked suitably stunned 😆

Please react to his masterpiece that is a trilogy of 3 songs that weave together to make a mind blowing story with a twist ending..The tales of Jenny and Screech (full)....that includes the 3rd on which is VIOLETS TALE...and must be watched together and in that order ...also..his song Chalk Outlines (live)...with Chinchilla..

10/10 Very honest reaction! Keep the good work :)

Love your videos keep em coming, and ur absolutely beautiful... that smile is so amazing ❤❤

That was a journey....it was amazing & I loved it 🔥🙏🔥

Jules I'm happy to see you discover Ren, and now I've so I can see you go through the rabbit hole of all his art. Next id love for you to discover more of his vocal abilities and deeper Lyricism. Try his song "Chalk Outlines" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-35yALr_opeg.html a duet ft. the UK artist Chinchilla, so relevant in today's society. For a special treat you need to also look at "The Tale of Jenny & Screech" the full live version. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TYAnqQ--KX0.html It's a trilogy story in 3 songs performed like a Bard who would sing in middle century England. This is a stunning piece of art as well.

You don't have the words because Ren has taken them all.

Please read his comments on the Community tab on his channel. It will open your eyes to his story.

Go that Way Girl. Do it.

Great reaction thank you, i just discover Ren 3 days ago hes amazing, cant stop watching ppl reaction to this track its really touching. Can you do NF-Hope, hes a great artist too, im sure you will love it.

BARDCORE ROCKS !!!!!

Great review. The rest of these comments are spot on. Nothing more to add except…..MORE

He has Lyme Disease but the Dr's thought he was crazy and gave him crazy pills & told him he was crazy for years before they figured out they were wrong; That he wasn't crazy that the misdiagnosis was killing him making bad thing far far worse.

A very beautiful reaction. I'm loving watching reactions to Hi Ren almost as much as I enjoy watching Hi Ren. This man has taken art to a new level. Hope he changes the world. Thank you for this very real and very genuine reaction.

And....this is a live piece of performance art. There are very few, if any, perceptible edits. He's jacked in, mic'ed up and wailing on this.

A masterpiece

I so hope this guy defeats hes demons. hes so real

Of course you’d bring up Gollum/Sméagol, you beautiful nerd 😉 I haven’t heard of Ren before- this was first rate storytelling through music.🙌

I don't think anybody expected that... and a lot of people left the 'almost' way behind!

This is live and all one continuous take. He uses 4 camera men and blocks it out and blows out of the park with a mic on his lapel.

The Devil is "The Accuser" not just before God, for as long as you have consciousness, day & night it accuses your light.

Ren is right on time, at a time society needs to self reflect. Wouldn't this make an amazing idea for a modern opera if he fleshed it out? It's literally like a mini-English language opera if you think of it. It holds the ability to evoke strong emotion, first dark and then light, and finally triumphant.

If his duet titled, "Chalk Outlines," with a female artist named, Chinchilla, doesn't send chills down your neck... well, actually I can not imagine that to be possible so, yeah... it's like that. You're gonna want to hear that one

Spend more time listening. Less time worrying about you’re close up. And what’s to smile about.

OMG, you need to react to a video by LP. Her blend of opera and folk vocals is something I think you'll find intriguing. I'd suggest "Forever for now". react to that song by LP, Please and thank you.

Older video at this point. I assune youve seen Ren's "The Tale of Jenny and Screech." Classically trained and employed musician, myself. That one is raw performance art, highest respect. Its a whole trilogy set, so you have to be dure youre seeing the fifteen minute version. A modern bard song.

Love it!!

You've got to listen to "Chalk Outlines" by Ren...completely different and haunting!

Ren is his own genre of music! A true artist!

I don't know what you call that, but it's art. Good art.

You have suchhh a lovely speaking voice lol sorry … hope that’s not awkward to say … it’s just beautiful … thanks for reaching to ren :)

i enjoyed your reaction much ---thank you indeed

I subbed for NF and SOOO excited you found REN TOO!🎉🎉🎉😁✌️🫶🔥🎶🙋‍♀️
