Wedding Dress really skyrocketed Taeyang tbh! Even when I was in college when this song came out and people here in the US was like “dude have you heard of this Korean dude named Taeyang? His song “wedding dress” is so good!” There was even guys (mostly Asian) who tried that Taeyang faux Mohawks hairstyle. It was that well known globally, he also released an English version of it as well. But I agree with you that Taeyang really does have that global appeal through his style of music and even dancing. Not only was he called the NEYO or USHER of SKOREA, but he’s arguably THE BEST MALE DANCER IN KPOP.. (Note I did say arguably of course there’s also amazing dancers in kpop). Anyways, out of BIG BANG..GD and Taeyang definitely have a global appeal and has done solo tours worldwide.
My god, if you like his music style (that early 2000s RnB aesthetics), you gotta listen to his other songs! Where U At, I Need a Girl, Ma Girl, Prayer, Only Look At Me. Man, I still listen to those songs all the time
I will never get tired of bringing up the fact that Taeyang is a hella artist. He simply has an impeccable discography and the perfect stage. One of the artists who has developed the most over the years and even with the most current CB we can see that he has evolved a lot in these 4 years. Simply incredible. Hands down to this man!👏🏾💛
Bigbang was inspired by hip hop and RnB music. YG used to be more into hip hop music in the earlier days. In the pre-debut of Bigbang they sing many songs by black artists like Omarion, Usher and Neyo etc. Even TOP sang "No Diggity" by Blackstreet. People always get inspiration from older artists in the past. Most of them was originally inspired by Michael Jackson.
Wedding dress is what won we over with Taeyang. When I tell you that man use to get on my nerves bc he use to dance too much lol it sounds silly but you do not understand how much this man use to dance at the most random/inappropriate times. Have you ever felt a whole arena give someone the stink eye? I went to the MADE tour and Daesung was talking abt something, why taeyang on the side singing MJ and dancing 😂 when I tell you BB gave him the nastiest look, then I looked around and saw the whole arena with the same face ⚰️ taeyang slowly stopped singing & apologized 😂 this is my core memory from that concert bc I was like, “see this is what I be talking abt” so I knw he was dying in the eye,nose & lip mv lol My favorite album from him is RISE no skips imo! My favorite mv is WHERE U AT bc I like the dancing/choreography ironically 😅 hey the man can dance but sometimes he just dances too much 🤣 Oh and he was OBESSED with Omarion! Big fan of B2K. You can really see this with their debut mv LA LA LA. And they trained to a lot of B2K songs as well. I use to think of BB as the Korean B2K lol And he doesn’t like to wear shirts, so through your journey you’ll see him topless a lot.
I think TAEYANG once said he identifies & is inspired musically more with Western music. IMO, he was the first artist to really fuse the two cultures, especially with that R&B flavor. That really madd KPop an easier transition for me and many would say TAEYANG introduced them to KPop with Wedding Dress.
@@infinitelocke LOL. BIGBANG focuses more on stage energy & song presence as a whole, I think. TAEYANG, especially in his early solo tracks, was very choreo heavy, and even features the choreographers themselves in the MVs (i think 3 were in Wedding Dress: i female, 2 males). The 2 choreographers are with him in his Where U At mv. I N3ed Q agirl ( dance c3rsion feat. Dara & GD. I'll Be There & Prayer has solid choreo as well.
Fun fact: "Eyes Nose Lips" is a breakup song wrote by Taeyang, and he actually sang the song to his ex-girlfriend when they broke up. However, it must have had the opposite effect on her, because years later she is now his wife and they just had a son born in December. ;) The billboard picture of the girl that is burning at the end of the MV was the actual picture of his ex-girlfriend, now wife. :D You should hear an English version of "Eyes Nose Lips." It's one of the most covered songs in the industry and there have been several Kpop idols, and singers from all over the world in general, who have covered the song. I recommend checking out Kpop soloist Eric Nam's English cover, th-cam.com/video/8kB0-M4Pk6o/w-d-xo.html. In the MV for "Wedding Dress" Taeyang is friends with both the guy and the girl. How I interpret the story, is that Taeyang is in love with the girl, but unfortunately, she is in love with the other guy. She was always in love with the other guy. In the beginning you see scenes with just Taeyang and the girl because in his memory he is selectively leaving the other guy out of the picture or blocking him out of his version of memories, because he wishes he was the one she loved. But you later see, when you look at the full picture, that the other guy was actually there the whole time. These were times where they were actually hanging out as a group, but Taeyang was imagining himself doing these things without the other guy and it just being the two of them. In the end, you see that Taeyang was a fraction of a second too late and he was just about to confess to the girl right before his friend showed up and slipped the ring on her finger. Obviously, these were his best friends because he agreed to play a song at their wedding as a gift to them, even though he was still heartbroken and wishing it was him who she was marrying.
taeyang eyes, nose, lips was the second song from a korean artist that i heard (the first being Gangnam Style lol) and it made me want to hear more. i didn’t really get into k-pop until much later but these songs were just incredible.
Eyes Nose Lips is that imortal song that people will sing years from now .Stage presence you can fake for some time , distract with special effects , choreo but the moment a real power artist walks on stage it all goes up in smoke because they can just stay there and still comand attention naturaly. My favorite Taeyang song ( his too 😁 ) is Love you to death but it has no MV
You asked about the Poster in the background That’s his then girlfriend now wife to whom this song is about...they had broken up then but are happily married now😩😩
Dude, here's the Taeyang, EYES NOSE LIPS - FANTASTIC DUO performance, with captions th-cam.com/video/2mRwZbx_2yM/w-d-xo.html. This performance slaps. They had one hour to practice together. She's an amateur and kills it and Taeyang feeds off her. Without question the best performance of this song you will ever see. It's a must react to.
I remember hearing this song before I got into Kpop and it's so reminiscent of early 00s R&B. Btw, his name is pronounced with a soft g at the end so it sounds like Tae-yan.
Theres a competition version of eyes nose lips that will absolutely blow your MIND. It's from a show called Fantastic Duos, and it's Taeyang and a fan competing in a duet of the song. If you search eyes nose lips fantastic duos it'll come up :)
Fun fact:Eyes nose lips was dedicated to his then Gilfriend now wife when they briefly Broke up...
Ohh wow thanks for that info!
InfiniteLocke and the then girlfriend now wife is on the poster in the mv😭

I can see why! He was in his bag. Very western style song at the time
There's also an English version of Wedding Dress & an English remix of Eyes, Nose, Lips by Tablo ft. Taeyang.
Oh ok I’ll check it out!
@@infinitelocke and tomorrow ft. taeyang
Omarion was one of taeyangs idols especially in their debut era songs like “my girl” you can really see it
I can see the influence!
Ringa Linga and Good Boy are must watch vids!! His songs are so iconic
Adding to my list!
My god, if you like his music style (that early 2000s RnB aesthetics), you gotta listen to his other songs! Where U At, I Need a Girl, Ma Girl, Prayer, Only Look At Me. Man, I still listen to those songs all the time

We love a good artist development!!
BIGBANG's "A Fool's Only Tears" will give you the rain.

Facts! A lot of black artists have influenced the current state of kpop🤷🏾♂️definitely a fact!

I knew there was something there with B2K and Omarion bc the influence was definitely noticeable!
@@infinitelocke just watch La La Ls it is undeniable, just copy and paste.
Amazing you...Wishing u happiness and Health....keep them YG reactions coming
Thank you!! More to come!
Yo the fact that you brought up Omarion got me dead cuz BIGBANG’s Debut song La La La definitely reminded me of B2K heavy lol
I can see the influence for sure. Omarion, neyo, etc
You need to check out Ringa Linga (the dance practice....It hits so hard). Also his song with G Dragon Good Boy
On my list!

That really madd KPop an easier transition for me and many would say TAEYANG introduced them to KPop with Wedding Dress.
I can see why! He definitely has taken influence from western r&b no question! Talented individual!
I believe they also mention Usher
TAEYANG, Best Dancer of his Gen IMO.
Didn’t realize he could dance like that since Big Bang doesn’t necessarily have super intense choreo but I should know almost every idol can dance lol
@@infinitelocke LOL. BIGBANG focuses more on stage energy & song presence as a whole, I think.

Who’s going to ell him to react to the Fantastic Duo version of Eyes Nose Lips?!!
Noted!
The fact that they make Eye Nose Lips MV shot in 1 single continuos video is amazing.
Definitely!
Taeyang singing ENL like the rent was due!
Lol facts!
He definitely looks like Omarion. Especially in their video of A fool of tears, it's a very nostalgic video by the way!
He has a very similar vibe. Neyo and Omarion I would say
You HAVE to check out his live duet of "Eyes, Nose, Lips" with an fan on FantasticDuo. 🔥🔥🔥
