If you want to get a real grasp at what BTS can do live, you should definitely watch their performance at the MMA 2019 awards, even though it’s an award show they got to perform for 37 mins and they killed it.
I love how you explained the difference between what traditional "lip syncing" is VS a backing track during a performance, because bts definitely do NOT lip sync. They are just very clever with how they produce the audio for the backing track so it moves along with their dance moves/where or where they wouldn't be "out of breath". Thanks again!
Actually these shows edit the performance they sing live 3-4 times and then performe live but when they release the video they edit it mixing different vocal tries.....so I suggest to watch the concert version for proper singing.
Though I'm a lot younger than them since I'm using my mom's account since if I don't, I'll use my data in this account since I only realised it this year that i used hers not mine. Hehhehehe
The best moment of “Dionysus “ is when Jin performs a chilling falsetto in the final section, which is capable of making more than one scream with emotion. His voice rises to the sky. Critics name him the vocalist of the nation. Jin ‘s bright tone shines by conveying the bittersweet emotions of the wrestling between holding on and letting go, the internal struggle described in the lyrics.
loved ur review as always. just one thing about suga (the rapper u said was trying to catch his breath), his unique sense of rapping often involves using and manipulating his breathing sounds to emphasize his raps. once u hear more of his work u'll see what i mean but it's def one of my favourite things about him. he often sounds out of breath and like he's straining his voice to make his verses sound more urgent, hardhitting and/or even desperate. i'd recommend his solo tracks "first love" and "daechwita" as examples of how he incorporates his inhalation and exhalation.
I thought I was the only one that thought that way!! Suga has my favorite voice in the rap line because of the way he sounds like he is constantly struggling to breathe. The way his words sound far back and cut off but also emphasized in different areas really excites something in my brain. Also, notice how I said favorite voice in the rap line rather than favorite rapper in the rap line. I love all of them!!
@@steph0614 i know what u mean. i'm not trying to be fair or anything but i genuinely can't choose my favourite rapper because they all hit me in different ways. but i remember when i heard "first love" i had to pause it cause i was so overwhelmed and found myself crying. the desperation in his voice is something else.
If you like that high note, you should hear the three note run at the end of their song crystal snow. The same member, Jin does it and it's spectacular
Right? I love the SNL performances. If you listen to their MR removed vids you'll know that they don't need the backing track to be as loud as it often is. Sometimes the track even makes them sound worse as everyone sings a little different when it's live, for example holding some notes longer or changing up the melody slightly. In some songs it's very clever use of the track and sometimes it's quite bad.
@@DianaEstrada_ No. Hobi is dance leader and one of the main dancers. Lead dancer and dance leader are 2 different positions. Like lead vocal and vocal teacher.
Jin, the oldest, sings the high note that you love towards the end! Please react to BTS Map of the Soul and BTS Wings! Love your videos, they're amazing!
It's his style. His rapping is hard hitting and he uses the different colours of his voice, flow, breath etc to really highlight what he's saying. He's not struggling at all, they all have insane stamina. It's simply a style of rap to push the meaning and sound more. Suga is an agressive rapper. Rap is different to Vocals
Clearly you haven’t heard enough of Suga’s rapping to realize he does use breathing stylistically to emphasize the song’s intention. I recommend Intro: Nevermind, First Love, Daechwita, and The Last as his breathing is apparent and intentional in these songs. But if you have heard all of the above and just happen to be an unpleasant person overall, I would recommend Cypher pt. 4
Their ability to fill a stage the level of energy they put into each and every performance is remarkable, as is their ability to dance the way they do and still sing and not just sing but sing well. They are always riveting. I doubt there are any pop performers that can top BTS's performances anywhere.
I know everyone here is suggesting Blake watch the MMA 2019 performance (OFC ITS LEGENDARY!!!) But Blake, I think you should first listen to “Boy In Luv,” “No More Dream,” “Danger,” “I NEED U,” “Save Me,” “Fire,” “Fake Love,” and “N.O” if you haven’t yet since that performance basically uses a heavy remix of those songs! I think you’ll appreciate the performance more if you know what to listen for in comparison to the original songs! THEN please do an MMA 2019 breakdown/reaction! 😁😁
GGX TriHard im sure he’d still want to be aware of the difference in remix compared to its original, and the way its used in the performance. And yes, they did do a proper performance like everyone else. It just sounds different, hence me saying they used a “remix.”
GGX TriHard you do know that this is a comment about music right? Not about dancing? Imagine watching mma 2019 and not even knowing what half the music they used is...just wanna make sure he knows what songs he’s hearing
@@BlakeMcLain You should also check the solo artists from Korea: - Nunu nana by Jessi, she's considered as K-Hiphop - Me like yuh by Jay Park, another K-Hiphop - Pour up or Instagram by Dean
Three things interesting is this performance: 1. Jungkook sounds like he sneezed into his mic at the beginning of 2nd verse (5:00) 2. 6:01 doing free fall with only hands 3. 8:51 J-hope just stared right into the camera
the free-fall move is still insane to watch, but as awesome as it is I'm still glad they changed it immediately after jk got hurt doing it. definitely not something you want a repeat of :'D
yeah, all idols do. I even saw some documentary about Beyonce and Destiny's Child where they said that her father made them run around the neighbourhood while singing.
ur so right about the end! the strength it takes to maintain composure all the way to the end! there's a video i saw on twitter of bts performing dionysus live at an award show, and you can see their figures when the lights go out, and they look like they're about to pass out. major props to these boys!
Someone profissional like you got everything from the first BTS live stage you watched makes us finally comfortable and proud watching your reaction with no need of explications from us Army "THANK YOU"
your reactions/opinions are so genuine it makes me so happy to see them be recognized for their hardwork..... cant wait for you to hear more of their music !!
Thank you for the great explanation about the care that goes into the backing track to support the performance. Too many people are triggered when someone says BTS doesn't sing 100% of the lyrics live - it's simply impossible with the amazing show they put on, and frankly unnecessary (except the stages specifically meant to let them breathe and show off the legendary vocals). I don't think it takes away from the performance, they are human. BTS and the bighit team have crafted an amazing spectacle I would be blessed to witness. (fu covid)
*Hello! Here is a little interpretation of Dyonisus but still I recommend you to check out a translation first* Firts keep in mind that Dionysus is a God often called Eleutherios, meaning 'the liberator,' because his wine (alcohol), music, and ecstatic dance *freed his followers from self-consciousness and the restraints of society* - Dyonisus also means *born twice* so it's known that BTS it's basing these Map of the Soul albums on the Jungian psychology, and that the "persona" represents the social mask that it shown to the people, this song represents the process of making music, the process of turning into their stage personas, like a *reincarnation* . The Korean word for art is yesul (예술) and the Korean word for alcohol is sul (술) that's why RM says "Art is alcohol too" so instead of telling us to drink alcohol, the lyrics are actually saying "Listen to my song" and " Get crazy about my music". And of course the creative part of making music is a time-consumin difficult process so that's why they mention "pain of the creation" and how they're always on the studio (parties) and when they're finally "drunk" in art, their personas appears and receives names such as “idol” or “artist”, but at the end it is ultimately their own perceptions of themselves that fuel what they do "What does it matter if I’m an idol or an artist?" This is also a clap back to their song "idol" (being an kpop idol has a negative connotation in SK, they're seen as puppets and even if BTS broke the mold of that concept, there's still a fight over the title they should receive ¿idols or artists?) So this song works as an acknowledgement of their personas as part of themselves and also shows their desire of not only making music that people love but also that can be helpful for them, like a method to achieve the *liberation* *Some wordplay and references* - In Korean the word for grapes (포도) is also a term for empty seats at concerts. They're "eating grapes" which references how they're doing sold outs in every stadium. Grapes are also a symbol of Dyonisus -The Dyonisus' Thyrsus, symbol of prosperity, fertility, hedonism, and pleasure/enjoyment in general, is compared to their mics - The "pain of creation" it's referencing for one side, the hard process of making music and also the story of how Dionysus was born - "Born as a Kpop Idol, reborn as an artist" this maybe represents how the perception that the media has over them has change once they've become famous (but as I mentioned before, there's still people that refuse call them artists) again the reincarnation thing it's bc Dyonisus means "born twice" - "The new record is a fight against oneself" because BTS just keep setting and breaking their own records - Hit the Gong and say "onghaeya” (옹헤야) is a Korean exclamation present in traditional folk music. Through the use of this phrase, BTS ensures that elements of South Korean culture remain ever prevalent in their music And also this God represents madness and theater so that explains the amazing live performances! (Please check out the MMA 2019 BTS DIONYSUS LIVE PERFORMANCE) Thanks for the video!
I liked the respectful and insightful way in which you explained how the performance track works. A lot of people don’t understand it, which is a constant source of frustration for ARMYs...
You should watch bts performance in MMA 2019 , it's an award show, bts always change award shows to their own concert, their performance is amazing and they were singing live , the performance was crazy, it never happened in history by an artist or any one , they are the only artist in history who did things like that , they are the best, when bts performe no body dare to perform after their performance , we are proud of them , legends
i already said this in another video, but i really really REALLY appreciate how you take the time to comment on how hard bts works for them to be able to produce such high-quality music and performances-not many reactors really put emphasis on that! it also makes it all the more satisfying for a professional to recognize and praise their hard work, musicality and artistry, because a lot of ignorant people call them "overrated" or say that people only like them for their looks just because of their immense popularity, which is definitely not the case. so i'm really glad i found your channel, and i hope to see you make more bts content! ❤ (ps i'd be really glad to see you react to their song "spring day" in the future!)
If you have any fav bts songs from their albums i PROMISE that you will love those songs more after you see their live versions. There's a raw energy that is present in their performances. I would love to hear your opinion on their Wings album or HYYH albums.
When I first got into BTS, I felt that their songs were good, but after seeing their live performances and learning about hardships and personalities it’s hard not to get hooked
This is the probably the best reaction to, and explanation of, bts live!! Your respect for them comes through so clearly and it’s such a great way to learn about a part of live music I didn’t know about!!
4:25 True. So those who always thinks Kpop stages are all lip sync are really out of fashion. 9:04 RIGHT!!! I remember there was a episode of Running Man, they ask an idol to show what's the differences between on camera and off camera. And he showed the way they breath when they are on camera. They have to breath slower after finishing the stage to give ending a cool shot. And he showed the way in daily life, they would breath so heavily and barely standing well. That's so funny LOL.
We all know BTS uses a backtrack. That's no secret. You kinda have to with how crazy they dance lol. But yeah.. they definitely can't lip sync. And it's totally obvious when they do. You really notice it during their Music videos. They all agree that's one thing they can't do. Thank you for your reaction. I hope you react to more lives cause I know you'll be blown away by how amazing they are.
Since you like this song, please react to their MMA 2019 performance where they perform this song but go even more above and beyond!!! There are lots of elements of greek mythology in that performance and I think you'll really enjoy it :)
i love seeing you react to bts. its cool to hear what you have to say about there vocals. thankyou for checking them out! also i love all your album reviews!
Your reactions are some if not THE best I've ever seen, because we not only are seeing your reaction as you also end up teaching us stuff (which the way you explain makes it not annoying at all and I love that 💜)
There are backstage videos or documentaries that showed them dying for air and sometimes collapsing after shows like this. til the camera cuts, they would hold on for the last pose, hiding their breath and keeping the show. Profesionalism👏👏
their concert really is the best place if you want to hear their raw vocals, because in music show like this the vocal either pre recorded or the backtrack music is just too loud you could barely hear their live vocal. like this one.
"Do you know how hard is to do that and not look out of breath" Me:thinking about that time the boys clowned hobi for his end pose when he was breathing heavily
Everything you said is absolutely true, and I'm glad you explained all that because it shows you know what you're talking about and also how much work it is to put together this type of showmanship... There's an insane amount of work that goes into this by a crew of people, obviously, from fashion to choreography to camerawork but the performers and producers also have to take all of these details into consideration while writing the song and making the performance choices plus preparation training needed to execute it or pre-record it live (what type of mics are needed depending on the song, what jumps or movements require supporting backing track, facial expressions, use of the space, breathe support/endurance, precise timing, etc).

a tip for when learning their names: dont depend on their hair colors as they change all the time :)
Me when I was a bby army yrs ago😂 and now I can recognize them by their lips or eyes it's crazy
Honestly tho they be changing hair colours every month
And after being an Army it's the opposite, you can say what era it is only by their hair colors so it's a good thing😄
It's Yunki Not Yoongi I can do it by looking at their backs😭💀
Joon changing his hair within 4 days to 3 different colours
If you want to get a real grasp at what BTS can do live, you should definitely watch their performance at the MMA 2019 awards, even though it’s an award show they got to perform for 37 mins and they killed it.

THIS!
Ikr....he really has good hearing ability. How could he differentiate live vocal with backing track? 😍
THIS! THIS IS WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND...
I think they lipsynced at GDA 2019. It always sounds like all artist lipsync during GDA
Actually these shows edit the performance they sing live 3-4 times and then performe live but when they release the video they edit it mixing different vocal tries.....so I suggest to watch the concert version for proper singing.
God bless! Someone knows the difference between "lip syncing" and sing with backing track.

The best moment of “Dionysus “ is when Jin performs a chilling falsetto in the final section, which is capable of making more than one scream with emotion. His voice rises to the sky. Critics name him the vocalist of the nation. Jin ‘s bright tone shines by conveying the bittersweet emotions of the wrestling between holding on and letting go, the internal struggle described in the lyrics.

Don’t u mean 2018 MMA?
Their vocals are very prominent in SNL performances. They performed both Mic Drop and Boy With Luv , you should check it out!
Yes. Snl boy with love is definitely one of the best performances out there.

You don't know how fast I clicked😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love ur reactions pls more of BTS
The guy sits at the end of the song and looked into the camera is the main dancer, so it makes senses that he has more breath control techniques.
He's one of the main dancers.*

Jin, the oldest, sings the high note that you love towards the end! Please react to BTS Map of the Soul and BTS Wings! Love your videos, they're amazing!
It's his style. His rapping is hard hitting and he uses the different colours of his voice, flow, breath etc to really highlight what he's saying. He's not struggling at all, they all have insane stamina. It's simply a style of rap to push the meaning and sound more. Suga is an agressive rapper. Rap is different to Vocals
Clearly you haven’t heard enough of Suga’s rapping to realize he does use breathing stylistically to emphasize the song’s intention. I recommend Intro: Nevermind, First Love, Daechwita, and The Last as his breathing is apparent and intentional in these songs. But if you have heard all of the above and just happen to be an unpleasant person overall, I would recommend Cypher pt. 4
Their ability to fill a stage the level of energy they put into each and every performance is remarkable, as is their ability to dance the way they do and still sing and not just sing but sing well. They are always riveting. I doubt there are any pop performers that can top BTS's performances anywhere.
hi Blake, if you wanna hear their live vocals pls listen to their tour concerts
They are amazing performers, cant wait to see your reaction on map of the soul 7 my favorite song is louder than Bombs 🔥❤
I know everyone here is suggesting Blake watch the MMA 2019 performance (OFC ITS LEGENDARY!!!)
But Blake, I think you should first listen to “Boy In Luv,” “No More Dream,” “Danger,” “I NEED U,” “Save Me,” “Fire,” “Fake Love,” and “N.O” if you haven’t yet since that performance basically uses a heavy remix of those songs! I think you’ll appreciate the performance more if you know what to listen for in comparison to the original songs!
THEN please do an MMA 2019 breakdown/reaction! 😁😁
I mean... Fire and Danger are barely in MMA 2019 because Suga and Jin didn't do a proper performance like everyone else.
GGX TriHard im sure he’d still want to be aware of the difference in remix compared to its original, and the way its used in the performance.
And yes, they did do a proper performance like everyone else. It just sounds different, hence me saying they used a “remix.”
@@imthe4thmonth Proper performance as in actually dancing like V, JK, Jimin and JHope did. Jin and Suga did not do a proper performance.
GGX TriHard you do know that this is a comment about music right? Not about dancing?
Imagine watching mma 2019 and not even knowing what half the music they used is...just wanna make sure he knows what songs he’s hearing
@@imthe4thmonth yes but even without dancing, Fire and Danger are nowhere near as long as No more Dream, I Need U, Fake Love or Save Me.

- Nunu nana by Jessi, she's considered as K-Hiphop
- Me like yuh by Jay Park, another K-Hiphop

Three things interesting is this performance:
1. Jungkook sounds like he sneezed into his mic at the beginning of 2nd verse (5:00)
2. 6:01 doing free fall with only hands
3. 8:51 J-hope just stared right into the camera
The last one ✨
i used to always wonder how singers mask sneezes on stage because you can't time those things XDD
the free-fall move is still insane to watch, but as awesome as it is I'm still glad they changed it immediately after jk got hurt doing it. definitely not something you want a repeat of :'D
That's the most beautiful sneeze I've ever heard 😂😂
@@lilygardner4035 well I haven't really noticed it before...but if you see it coming you can kinda stop it from the start (it hurts though)
fun fact: they actually practiced singing while on a treadmill to learn breath control.
yeah, all idols do. I even saw some documentary about Beyonce and Destiny's Child where they said that her father made them run around the neighbourhood while singing.
@Ingri A oh i never knew that! that’s pretty cool😊 kinda a bit harsh that her father would make her do that tho lol
bby mochi well, I think he wasn’t all that nice all the time.
Ingri A ya i get that. some dads can be harsh. but hey he raised BEYONCÉ. gotta give him some credit
bby mochi yeah, well, there was other stuff as well. I’d say treating your children well are more important than them becoming stars.
ur so right about the end! the strength it takes to maintain composure all the way to the end! there's a video i saw on twitter of bts performing dionysus live at an award show, and you can see their figures when the lights go out, and they look like they're about to pass out. major props to these boys!

Thank you for the great explanation about the care that goes into the backing track to support the performance.

*Hello! Here is a little interpretation of Dyonisus but still I recommend you to check out a translation first*
Firts keep in mind that Dionysus is a God often called Eleutherios, meaning 'the liberator,' because his wine (alcohol), music, and ecstatic dance *freed his followers from self-consciousness and the restraints of society*
- Dyonisus also means *born twice* so it's known that BTS it's basing these Map of the Soul albums on the Jungian psychology, and that the "persona" represents the social mask that it shown to the people, this song represents the process of making music, the process of turning into their stage personas, like a *reincarnation* . The Korean word for art is yesul (예술) and the Korean word for alcohol is sul (술) that's why RM says "Art is alcohol too" so instead of telling us to drink alcohol, the lyrics are actually saying "Listen to my song" and " Get crazy about my music". And of course the creative part of making music is a time-consumin difficult process so that's why they mention "pain of the creation" and how they're always on the studio (parties) and when they're finally "drunk" in art, their personas appears and receives names such as “idol” or “artist”, but at the end it is ultimately their own perceptions of themselves that fuel what they do "What does it matter if I’m an idol or an artist?" This is also a clap back to their song "idol" (being an kpop idol has a negative connotation in SK, they're seen as puppets and even if BTS broke the mold of that concept, there's still a fight over the title they should receive ¿idols or artists?)
So this song works as an acknowledgement of their personas as part of themselves and also shows their desire of not only making music that people love but also that can be helpful for them, like a method to achieve the *liberation*
*Some wordplay and references*
- In Korean the word for grapes (포도) is also a term for empty seats at concerts. They're "eating grapes" which references how they're doing sold outs in every stadium. Grapes are also a symbol of Dyonisus
-The Dyonisus' Thyrsus, symbol of prosperity, fertility, hedonism, and pleasure/enjoyment in general, is compared to their mics
- The "pain of creation" it's referencing for one side, the hard process of making music and also the story of how Dionysus was born
- "Born as a Kpop Idol, reborn as an artist" this maybe represents how the perception that the media has over them has change once they've become famous (but as I mentioned before, there's still people that refuse call them artists) again the reincarnation thing it's bc Dyonisus means "born twice"
- "The new record is a fight against oneself" because BTS just keep setting and breaking their own records
- Hit the Gong and say "onghaeya” (옹헤야) is a Korean exclamation present in traditional folk music. Through the use of this phrase, BTS ensures that elements of South Korean culture remain ever prevalent in their music
And also this God represents madness and theater so that explains the amazing live performances! (Please check out the MMA 2019 BTS DIONYSUS LIVE PERFORMANCE)
Thanks for the video!

Definitely check out the “BTS high notes and falsettos” video. It’s the best way to get an idea of their live vocals.
The MJ technique is exactly what comes to my mind as well when watching them perform. It's all calculated but in such authentic manner. IT IS ART!
I liked the respectful and insightful way in which you explained how the performance track works. A lot of people don’t understand it, which is a constant source of frustration for ARMYs...
Love that you appreciate their hardwork.
THANK YOU FOR REACTING THIS SONG! AND THANK YOU FOR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING THE BOYS THEY SING LIVE!!!! U R AWESOME!!
you have to watch their MMA 2019 Dionysus Performance. It's their best performance ever. you'll enjoy it.
If you want a live performance and the best, I recommend you the MMA 2019 performance, that is amazing.
90% of the BTS's performance are in live.
Of course we enjoyed the video! Love your series💜
Thank you so much for making this, I’m so in love with the way you explained everything 🥰
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS OSNDNKDL
I need a reaction to BTS’s MMA 2019 performance because that was WORLD CLASSSSSS
Ah been waiting for thiss! Thankyou for the honest reaction blake! Cant wait for another reaction bts album & live from u!! 💜💜
Love your reactions Blake!
You should watch bts performance in MMA 2019 , it's an award show, bts always change award shows to their own concert, their performance is amazing and they were singing live , the performance was crazy, it never happened in history by an artist or any one , they are the only artist in history who did things like that , they are the best, when bts performe no body dare to perform after their performance , we are proud of them , legends
I was waiting for this..Thank youuuuu!
Thanks for this reaction. 😁
I enjoy how in depth you get about certain things. Your show sounds super cool!
i already said this in another video, but i really really REALLY appreciate how you take the time to comment on how hard bts works for them to be able to produce such high-quality music and performances-not many reactors really put emphasis on that! it also makes it all the more satisfying for a professional to recognize and praise their hard work, musicality and artistry, because a lot of ignorant people call them "overrated" or say that people only like them for their looks just because of their immense popularity, which is definitely not the case. so i'm really glad i found your channel, and i hope to see you make more bts content! ❤ (ps i'd be really glad to see you react to their song "spring day" in the future!)
If you have any fav bts songs from their albums i PROMISE that you will love those songs more after you see their live versions.
There's a raw energy that is present in their performances.
I would love to hear your opinion on their Wings album or HYYH albums.
When I first got into BTS, I felt that their songs were good, but after seeing their live performances and learning about hardships and personalities it’s hard not to get hooked
This is the probably the best reaction to, and explanation of, bts live!! Your respect for them comes through so clearly and it’s such a great way to learn about a part of live music I didn’t know about!!
Thank you for the vocals and backing track explanation! Always enjoy your videos!
I was waiting for you to react to their live performance for Dionysus ❤️ it’s one of their hardest choreo’s btw
4:25 True. So those who always thinks Kpop stages are all lip sync are really out of fashion.
9:04 RIGHT!!! I remember there was a episode of Running Man, they ask an idol to show what's the differences between on camera and off camera. And he showed the way they breath when they are on camera. They have to breath slower after finishing the stage to give ending a cool shot. And he showed the way in daily life, they would breath so heavily and barely standing well. That's so funny LOL.
峎羽 please can u say that runnging man episode ))) or idols name
@@apito8816 Here th-cam.com/video/5zfxhBw51Ic/w-d-xo.html
Running Man Ep 503, idol is Jin Hyuk from UP10TION
峎羽 thank you 💜
@@apito8816 You're welcome
Thank you for this amazing live performance reaction! Wow... I hope you do more live reactions. Your insight was great!
been waiting for dis 😄😅
thankU 😄😄😄😄
I love your bts reactions i learned soo much more because of you 😍😍
We all know BTS uses a backtrack. That's no secret. You kinda have to with how crazy they dance lol. But yeah.. they definitely can't lip sync. And it's totally obvious when they do. You really notice it during their Music videos. They all agree that's one thing they can't do.
Thank you for your reaction. I hope you react to more lives cause I know you'll be blown away by how amazing they are.
Loving all your videos, Blake! Dirty Laundry is amazing by the way! - PLAYING IT ON REPEAT!!!
Loved this reaction so much
BTS new single is coming out on 21 August so please stay tuned for that
Since you like this song, please react to their MMA 2019 performance where they perform this song but go even more above and beyond!!! There are lots of elements of greek mythology in that performance and I think you'll really enjoy it :)
I love your room’s aesthetic! Top notch interior design~. Thank you for these explanations! They are always really interesting.
YES IM WAITING FOR THIS 💜💜
2019 mama perfomence banger 💯
You should react to “your eyes tell -BTS live “ it shows their vocal talents
you are my favorite, Blake. thanks for ur reactions!💜
i love seeing you react to bts. its cool to hear what you have to say about there vocals. thankyou for checking them out! also i love all your album reviews!
You should react to their 2019 mama stage ( it’s an award show performance and it’s insane!!)
As a producer you should watch their MMA performance from 2019(it's 37mins long but it's amazing) and it's got Greek Mythology parts in it too.
Your reactions are some if not THE best I've ever seen, because we not only are seeing your reaction as you also end up teaching us stuff (which the way you explain makes it not annoying at all and I love that 💜)
There are backstage videos or documentaries that showed them dying for air and sometimes collapsing after shows like this. til the camera cuts, they would hold on for the last pose, hiding their breath and keeping the show.
Profesionalism👏👏
their concert really is the best place if you want to hear their raw vocals, because in music show like this the vocal either pre recorded or the backtrack music is just too loud you could barely hear their live vocal. like this one.
When are we getting the Map of the Soul : 7 album reaction?????
i always learn something new w your videos thank you!!
Loved your reaction 😍
Also when is the BTS Map Of The Soul Persona Lyric video coming?♡
I am so interested what you think about their meaningful and beautiful lyrics :3
"Do you know how hard is to do that and not look out of breath"
Me:thinking about that time the boys clowned hobi for his end pose when he was breathing heavily
Your commentary is absolutely amazing.
Everything you said is absolutely true, and I'm glad you explained all that because it shows you know what you're talking about and also how much work it is to put together this type of showmanship... There's an insane amount of work that goes into this by a crew of people, obviously, from fashion to choreography to camerawork but the performers and producers also have to take all of these details into consideration while writing the song and making the performance choices plus preparation training needed to execute it or pre-record it live (what type of mics are needed depending on the song, what jumps or movements require supporting backing track, facial expressions, use of the space, breathe support/endurance, precise timing, etc).
BTS MMA 2019 performance please 🤗💜
you should watch dionysus performance at Melon Music Award 2019..its amazing...
Thank you, Blake, for your kind words and your open mind!! I love your reactions, hope to see more bts soon 💜
Ty so much for this amazing reaction
