for real, I actually really liked this video, I know it wasnt super high def but I think it really shows the abilities that they have, especially when they had the 5 piece
Great reaction! And you're right, TVXQ really are an elite kpop group haha. "Tonight" and "Before U Go" are also vocally amazing songs like Bolero if you want to check those out.
I still prefer the Tokyo Dome version, but obviously this is great too. Honestly it's TVXQ's most epic song, even is sometimes they have other tracks I think might be my favourite.
Bolero without doubt belongs on a History of Kpop album. It’s a shame so little of the 2nd generation look, feel, and sound made it into the successive generations. There was a maturity to the way music was approached-this being a perfect example-that’s largely been lost.
absolutely it does, do you think that it gets overlooked because of how explosive 3rd gen kpop was or is there another reason? I do think that you are right in the fact that the music does have a more mature undertone and feel about it.
@@Killdeer25 i personally think it because the development of internet and media. back in the day, in order to get the fans you have to sing and perform live flawlessly and touch their hearts by singing emotionally. nowadays, it's easier to reach to the fans with catchy songs so that they can be streamed again everyday
These 5 voices will forever be the most unique and incredible combination. It'll never happen again. 🥲 This along with Tonight and Why did I fall in love with you are some of my favorite songs of theirs because of their vocals. You should also check out JYJ's In Heaven live they are the 3 that left. Jaejoong wrote the song about his friend that passed away. It's very beautiful.
@@Killdeer25 they have such amazing music! They had lots of freedom and you can tell. Their song Creation is one of my favorites as well as empty and get out
Im deadly serious when I said TOHOSHINKI is on another level. Yunho is the rapper n main dancer but he also can kill highnotes, yuchun is also the rapper but he is the one who kill the highnotes here too. While changmin is the one who is in charge of the highnotes of all the time has a great low voice too. The main vocalist junsu and jaejoong werent to be questioned. To top it all, they have visuals and talents. There're reasons why TOHOSHINKI is still a big hit in japan until today even with only 2 members left. Every member have those talents. Thank u.
Also, a small note: This song was an OST for a Japanese movie based of my favorite manga "Dance Subaru", which is basically a heart wrenching underdog tale set in the cutthroat world of ballet. (Thus, the title "Bolero" for the dance, and the deep lyrics set against those heavenly vocals and orchestral music)
ohh I didnt know it was attached to an anime movie, I feel like I have heard of Dance Subaru before. I could be wrong though, this song is seriously a master class of vocals
@@fangirlveiledsnow I used to read a ton of manga all the way up until about 2013, so I grew up on a ton of different anime and manga, I even own a couple of pairs of Sailor Moon vans lol
I’m glad you mentioned the lyrics, I have always found them to be poetic and now I have an even better appreciation. Their harmonies are amazing but really stand out live, as well as the high notes from Junsu and Changmin. I am watching the MVs backwards but I will reply to the others as well.
I hear you, love me my Max but Junsu is unbelievable. He also goes by the name Xiah. Was obsessed with his song Flower for so long (you may have already seen or heard it, the video was full on. My two year old nephew (at the time) made me play it on the laptop constantly, he was mesmerised by it and was always humming it) And like Khyhyun and Suho is really really big in musical theatre. Sorry if I am rambling, you probably know all this. I have a real soft spot for Yunho though hahaha
@@sandman3384 Not at all. I don’t know much about TVXQ, and nothing about the former members so I appreciate it. I also really like Yunho and have heard several SM artists speaking very highly of him. I’m so glad for these deep dive weeks so I can get to know groups I’ve been meaning to check out.😊
@Swduc Honestly I think when they debuted and up until at least the split, Jaejoong had the best technique. Kind think he's destroying his voice by smoking and otherwise not properly taking care of it, though, because some performances from the past few years do sound a bit rough.
@@swduc2836Junsu is always had the best technique and is still on the top. I don't know why you think Changmin is the best because Changmin was always the 3rd one among all the 3 of them to me. Junsu is the first of course and then Jaejoong. You are right, Junsu damaged his voice a lot before military era. Because he had to perform 3 hours live nearly every day for a year. Sometimes he did it twice a day. The musicals he did that time was one-cast so didn't have any time to rest his voice. Also the songs were really hard. Especially the songs of Dorian Gray. But thaks to his military servise he could rest. And than his voice came back to him. Changmin improved a lot over the years but his voice used to crack so much. And sometimes he was singing in off-key and straining a lot. All of them gone now but he still has a problem in lower notes. In lower notes Jaejoong and Junsu much better than him. They even better than Yunho. Also i think you should check out Jaejoong's recent live performances. Especially the last one in Dream Concert. There was a time he was trying to change his style and technique so he harshed his voice a little. But now the changing is complate so he is at the best form of himself.
This is great yeah - but its in the past. There is someone on TH-cam who has decided to take all of the Duo TVXQ songs - *erase* most of the singing that Changmin and Yunho have recorded and replace it with ai simulations of JYJ members - given how much Yunho and Changmin actually got to sing with the original group its no surprise that most of Changmin's work and pretty much ALL of Yunho's is gone. I know JYJ stans dislike these guys, but erasing over 15 years of their work is just not right.
nah you gotta see the other live performance of this like on their own concert, it has english translation and better quality (with better camera angle) bc this was so terrible hahaha 😭
These guys were amazing live. There's no two ways about it.

Thank you! I absolutely hopefully want to check these out, I think I can but we shall see! I should have extra time to do so, if I play my cards right
I still prefer the Tokyo Dome version, but obviously this is great too. Honestly it's TVXQ's most epic song, even is sometimes they have other tracks I think might be my favourite.
It might be their most epic song, I will have to go look up that version of it. See what I think!
@@Killdeer25you should and we will wait for it

Oh I plan on going to check out JYJ here soon, I've been hearing lots of good things about them. I always get curious haha

thank you! oh yeah Bolero was a crazy good song, powerful! how can so much talent be in so few people?
Chills. Every time. Without fail. Bolero is a god-tier song, and I'm always glad that I've yet to see anyone not be moved by it 😍

@@Killdeer25 It was a live-action adaptation, dunno if that'll make it ring more bells or less though XD

@Killdeer25 I don't know if you watched or read One Piece, but TVXQ actually did one of my favorite openings for its anime, "Share The World".
I’m glad you mentioned the lyrics, I have always found them to be poetic and now I have an even better appreciation. Their harmonies are amazing but really stand out live, as well as the high notes from Junsu and Changmin. I am watching the MVs backwards but I will reply to the others as well.
yeah, the lyrics are something I really appreciate, I look for that a lot in my own personal music outside of KPOP
Just WOW! This song is a masterpiece
Have you heard this one before?
@@Killdeer25 I never heard this song in a live stage, it's so good!
oh gotcha! I know the video wasnt in the best quality but I think it stands on its own in terms of being able to hear the groups quality
I love this song and they are so amazing I miss 5 of them together.
I agree! there is quite a nice uniqueness about them as the OT5
my favorite version of bolero is the one from Tokyo dome concert❤
You really need to see the Tokyo dome version as well also check out Love in the Ice and begin
This whole thing is just a masterpiece I need to revisit anyway
It was the music that always got me in this one, can't explain why it just always pulled me in.
I think the composition of this song certainly has the attention grabbing abilities that is rare especially since it is not a typical song
reacts to "Tonight" is a very good song
my fav song❤❤❤❤tv5xq
this was an out...Yunho and Changmin sang it as a duo, watch Nissan concerts
I'll go check it out!
minha musica favorita
Just wow. I was also immediately thinking Sorry, Sorry Answer. And here was me thinking Max Changmin was THE vocalist of TVXQ (sorry Max!❤).
I hear you, love me my Max but Junsu is unbelievable. He also goes by the name Xiah. Was obsessed with his song Flower for so long (you may have already seen or heard it, the video was full on. My two year old nephew (at the time) made me play it on the laptop constantly, he was mesmerised by it and was always humming it) And like Khyhyun and Suho is really really big in musical theatre.

that isnt right, respect the past and embrace the future, its the healthy way to go
nah you gotta see the other live performance of this like on their own concert, it has english translation and better quality (with better camera angle) bc this was so terrible hahaha 😭
I know I was kinda shocked but I had a ton of people say this was the version to see, I was taken back by the potato quality in it myself
Do a reaction of TONIGHT!!!
I always am down for more TVXQ! I think I will be able to next week!
@@Killdeer25 yay!!!! ill be waiting! :D
