Just wanted to say a big thank you to all of the people checking out my channel for the first time! As an old rock dude, I appreciate being welcomed into community. Hope you enjoy the reaction/analysis.
2:27 the tank is 100% real and refers to the music video of "DDU DU DDU DU", actually each scene of the SHUT DOWN music video refers to the most classic music videos of the group in a sense of homage.
"‘Shut Down’ is a track that takes the consistent charisma BLACKPINK has shown so far to the next level. The combination of classic and trendy hip hop beats is memorable and it has the charm of feeling new while also being very catchy. I also think that the sensible and witty lyrics and the point choreography that depicts ‘Shut Down’ instinctively will become fun elements. I hope that the emotions and exciting thrill we first felt are conveyed to everyone who listens to the song."

Fellow metal head (52 years old). Great review. Love your perspective from your background and experience. You clearly know way more about music and production than I do. Been a huge Blackpink fan literally since Day 1. It’s been fun watching their rise over the last 6-7 years. They exploded in just a couple years from their start…they came out of the gate blazing.
Been trying to tell people about them in the U.S. for many years…mostly in vain. Now I’m like “hmmmmpp….see…told you so.” 😂
I am an older guy grew up with a lot of 80s rock and 90s rock metal and country music when I found this group I absolutely fell in love with them that was six years ago. I have been following them ever since I’m going down this rabbit hole it’s been amazing. All their songs have great meaning to them you should watch their songs from beginning to end and you would understand the more.
Omg!!! I am too!!!!! Grew up with the 80s and fall in loved with them 6 years ago❤
me too..🖐🖐🖐🖤💖🖤💖
Me but with western music in general
BLACKPINK just makes bangers
Same here, I got into them and also grew up with 80's and 90's music... awesome to hear more people feeling the same..
You are not the only one!
Fun Fact: While Pink Venom was an homage to other artists that inspired Blackpink's sound, the music video for Shut Down is an homage to their own music, showing it's evolution as they are now leaving that behind and evolving into a new sound. The Shut Down mv is full of easter eggs on Blackpink's past mvs - from repeated or reworked sets, to props, to iconic shots from past mvs, etc.
A few iconic moments that are call backs in Shut Down are: Jennie in the bedazzled tank, the set in which Lisa is dancing in the rain, Rosé sitting on top of the globe, Jisoo's face reveal from behind the umbrella, Jennie rapping in the tub while playing with a match, Jisoo standing in front of a picture from a past mv while holding a camera, the final chorus set is filled with mentions to their past music in the posters and signs, etc (as there are many others).
The Shut Down mv was a true treat for their fans.
Even makes more sense why their album is called Born Pink
Well, having just seen this performed live Sunday night I can tell you that it translates beautifully to the stage. When you have for all intents and purposes an unlimited budget combined with these four mega-talented women you end up with a product that's unmatched by anyone anywhere in the world today. There's a reason why they're considered to be the the top female group in the world and by some possibly of all time. And if you have your doubts then all you need do is to attend their current world tour and any doubts you have will be 'shut down'. I'm older than you, probably by far and I've been attending concerts since the late 60's and I've never seen anything like what I saw Sunday night. I'm still recovering from the experience 🙂
Awesome!!
Completely agree! I was also at the Sunday concert. It was a roller coaster of emotions. The sound and level of production was truly breathtaking, matched with a high energy audience from start to finish.
dont wanna sound rude but how old r u?
@@yadom_site5706 A bit rude and entirely irrelevant. I'm sure you can do a guesstimate.
@@-insert- okay sorry 😅
none of the scenarios that appeared there are green screens.. they are all made with the budget that the group has. They are also well known for having the best video clip aesthetics in the music world, for being real scenarios that only appear in seconds like the clothes and looks
It’s crazy! However you can sense that there is a level of realism there. No matter how good a digital set is, it never feels “real”.
Sooo I just watched Avatar 2. May have to rethink that last statement. Haha.
I'm glad to hear someone notice the production efforts that go into these videos. I have said many times that the girls go through a rigorous shoot, having all those costume changes, make up, retakes, etc. while continuing to maintain that enthusiastic appearance. Their videos pretty much top all others. Thanks for the great reaction!!
The violin is a sampling from Paganini's "La Campanella". It's dope in this song.
Especially considering the first words of the chorus are Korean but sound like 'Campanella'.
Wanted to say wow and thanks for pointing out all those details! One thing cool about BP is they're very involved in the entire process with their amazing team. Much of the fashion is done by the members themselves but they're also involved in the other creative parts too!
Thanks for watching Steph!
Yes! Love Blackpink. And I will see them TOMORROW NIGHT! 😭 I’ll be attending the first Chicago concert. 🎉
You are in for a treat. Having just attended the Sunday night concert in Hamilton I can tell you that no fancam, review, comment, etc. will prepare you for what you're about to experience.
I went to see them this Monday in Hamilton and it was the best thing I’ve done 😭 be safe and enjoy it!!!!
As for what I think Shut Down is about, I think it is a triple entendre. 1) Black Pink has been getting some hate from people for different reasons but I think mainly jealousy so Rosè's last line "keep talking we'll shut you down" is one meaning. 2) They have become so popular that fans from everywhere literally block up streets, venues, airports, events etc that it literally shuts the area down when they show up. 3) I think BP is evolving and they were paying homage to where they came from and shutting the doors on that chapter of their sound and we are going to be seeing a new side of them. Born Pink is a rebirth album and I am excited to see what they have in store for future projects.
Yasss!!! ❤❤ Love this comment. Took the words out of our hearts. Thankyou.
BLACKPINK never uses cgi or green screens, everything is 100% real and that is what characterizes the group before other kpop groups, BLACKPINK's audiovisual productions are impeccable and multimillion-dollar and are magnificent because they invest large budgets of money to do everything with sets real and real practical effects. (BLACKPINK's only mv with cgi is WHISTLE, and he's forgiven because it's his debut mv)
They used blue screen in shutdown too the part where rosé sit on earth
I saw them live in Atlanta. All songs are awesome and the girls left me thinking "how are they real?"
This is my first time watching your channel and i really appreciate how you react...i like your style and i will wait for more upcoming react videos👌🏻
Thanks Lucas! Glad you like it.
This video pays homage to a lot of their previous music videos. They redid a lot of their iconic shots from pervious videos with a new twist or flavor. Like the disco tank, they did in DDU-DU DDU-DU is actually a different tank here.
For me, one of my favorite scenes calls back the M/V for Stay where they're skipping away from the camera. It's an iconic scene from one of their least watched videos, but they did it anyway knowing that real BLINKs would catch it.
I know about the 4 count and that professional violin players hate that BP did an incomplete 'sentence ' repeatedly... You are the first one to mention the waltz. I didn't realize it until you pointed it out. After that, I kept imagining BP waltzing! =)
Hahaha. Excellent!
SHUT DOWN is the title track of BLACKPINK's new album, the album is called "BORN PINK" it was released on september 16th, 2022 and it is the FIRST album of a KPOP GIRL GROUP (in all history) to reach #1 on BILLBOARD 200 USA ALBUM SALES, and "SHUT DOWN" it is also the first kpop song in history to be #1 on SPOTIFY GLOBAL for 6 consecutive days, and so far the song has won 10 music awards in KOREA, the song achieved 50 million views views the day of its premiere on youtube and is dedicated to BLACKPINK haters, the best thing is that it identifies the group for being totally urban and the best thing is that the beat is "LA CAMPANELLA" by the great Italian violinist of classical music PAGANINI.
BLACKPINK+ PAGANINI= *SHUT DOWN.*
So awesome that you picked up on the waltz in this. I thought I was crazy for hearing it. Interestingly all their sets are made. No CGI. These different scenes are homages to some of their past music videos.
Blink in the house. On all their M/V (music videos) they don't use green screen. And they do have behind the seen on some of their M/V. And you can see the hard work that goes into the M/V. Thank you for your reaction your break down spot on.
Speaking to their fashion, I'm pretty sure the members of Blackpink are always in charge of, or at least have the final say in their own fashion looks for everything they do. All four of the girls are also global fashion ambassadors of high fashion luxury brands; Jennie for CK, Hera and Chanel, Jisoo for Dior and Cartier, Rosé for Yves Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co., and Lisa for Bulgari and Celine. Which gives meaning to Jennie's line, "Need a lesson, see the necklaces, see these dresses, we don't buy it, we request it". They don't have to buy their high fashion looks, if they really want something they'll request it and get it for free.
I’m loving how you break down the song! A+ 😊
Thanks Luis! More to come!
Love the point of view about all the creativity and hard work that goes into creating not only music but music videos too. A lot of people do take it for granted and doesn’t really care about hard work behind the scenes because we’re so used to green screen we forget what it takes to make it all with our own hands 🙌
Blackpink is one of those rare examples where almost 100% of what you see in the video is real and not CGI (throughout their 6 year career it’s been used only twice for one scene), most sets are build from the scrap just for the music video - even when they go to locations those places are also specifically altered and decorated (you can watch behind the scenes videos of every music video) and whenever you see water, fire etc it’s also real.
Also, this video is an homage to their previous record breaking videos released between 2016, when they debuted, and 2019. MVs like, in order of release, Boombayah, Whistle, How you Like that (over a billion views), Ddu Du Ddu Du, and Kill This Love, to name a few.
You really know what you’re talking about and I so appreciate your view and expertise. You understanding and appreciating all aspects instead of putting down things as being “non creative” when in fact every bit has to be. It takes a team of so much talent. “If you like it, then it’s good music”. I so agree. Your movie analogy was perfect. New favorite channel 😊
All their mvs have a behind the scenes video you can find on their channel and a dance practice. If you're interested in seeing how it was all shot, I'd recommend checking them out :)
The violin is based on paganini's interpretation of la campanela
You are so accurate when you said that it's so minimalist and that it'san anthem. The whole thing about the production being a collective effort of tens or hundreds of team members is also accurate. What makes KPop the thing that it is now is the whole industry working behind it.
Damn, on point reactions as always.
Great reaction! As some people have mentioned there are a lot of Easter eggs from previous MVs shown in this video like props, but not only props but an entire set. Lisa on the Pier is from the MV Playing With Fire, but redone in in more of a blue or winter/snow visual. The street scene has signs that shout out a lot of their previous songs and some solo songs. You are correct when you mention the attention to detail and hard work the set design team uses when building their sets. The other unique thing is they only do music videos for their title tracks or singles before they released full albums. So I would imagine as soon as they decide on title tracks set production begins immediately.
I LOVE that you’re pointing out the details! This is crazy, but I’m always amazed by blackpinks hands….their nails and their choreography of hands!! So pretty
They almost never use green screen, which is INSANITY.
It's awesome how you pointed out about the difficulty or should I say challenge in creating outfits for each members especially that they are in the same group and outfits should be coordinated. However, the main challenge lies in the fact that these four members are global ambassadors of four major clothing brands: Chanel, Celine, YSL and Dior. So for each member, they definitely has to style them according to what brand they endorse but not going away from being coordinated.
I'm old school classic rock Beatles Led Zeppelin Pink Lynyrd Skynyrd for the most part, Singer songwriters etc now Blink. I've seen all the documentaries all the black pink house and vacations they will charm your heart not to mention super talents multi lingual many instruments etc.
Throughout the years, there has been many documentaries about the kpop industry. With blackpink being so readily available on so many platforms; TH-cam, Spotify, Netflix, instagram, tiktok, etc... we're at a point where the new generations of kpop fans have an unlimited amount of media content available at their fingertips. This allow kpop and blackpink to reach new heights that other groups in the past can only dream of.
The groups that I followed in the past... we had to try and sign up on Korean websites to be able to view the content... sometimes that require a citizen number which we don't have so we have to wait for a fan in Korea to record the performance and upload it to the fansite for us to download. We had teams of dedicated fans ready to translate a new music video so international fans can understand... now more and more content are being translated by the company themselves. What a time to be a kpop fan
The kpop training programs can basically be compared to special forces training. Years and years of intense training to groom these artists to be proficient at everything; singing, dancing, public speaking, TV appearances, stage performances down to the facial expressions.
Some hate that side of kpop because it's very manufactured, and it is... but at the same time, you can't argue with the amazingly polished result that is presented to the world. Korean entertainment (music, movies, show) are their #1 export... it has to be top notch.
There are many documentaries out there but to stay on topic for blackpink... their Netflix documentary "light up the sky" is worth a watch. There is also a fan made TH-cam one entitled "blackpink: the revolution". Not as... "official" but it is very informative about the kpop industry and blackpink themselves.
Each scene that was literally shutdown was taken from their previous music videos.
Oh! Interesting!
a lot of the stages were already built for their previous m/vs and 'shut down' is paying homage to them as they go off on a new direction
Check out their live performances they are insane and the band is more rock for sure

I needed this. I'm an older metalhead that has slipped down this rabbit hole as well. I'm not alone. A must-react to at this moment in time is Bibi-Vengeance and XG-Galz Xypher! Xg is all Japanese with Harvey being Japanese/Aussie. You won't be disappointed mate! Cheers!
the count is 6/8 not 3/4 which is walls, 6/8 is counted 123-456 or you could do 1---2, 1---2 is interesting and the way is put together works really good...
The 5th member of BlackPink is Teddy Park. He is the producer director and song selection/writer/collaborator/mentor for the girls. You should react to Jennies Solo called SOLO. Her birthday is coming up so let's get her 1st solo to 900 million views. Blinks, start streaming please. Lets go. Woohoo.
First time checking in your channel, a commendable reaction ever, great restpect!!
You're right, it seams they've put in unlimited budget and effort into the production.
Not surprise when the MV attracts hundreds of million viewings, if not billions.
In Kpop, dozens and dozens of new groups come out every year with essentially the same formula. Get a group of members together. Train them, dress them, style them, and put a production team behind them. At least 90% fail. As usual, the formula may be easy to conceive. Executing said formula to success is a different ball game. Raising that success to new heights is a generational thing. Then you have BlackPink, which is on another level all its own.
Lisa makes original outfits for the group and does most of their dancing. You should watch their documentary it really shows each members separate talents
They have the biggest music video budgets in world music these days, Pink Venom was the most expensive video for a KPop artist in history. They economised in this one (filmed after Pink Venom by reusing props and scenes from their previous videos as call-backs but also to save in production costs after going all out for the previous one.
Just came across your channel (your blackpink reactions brought me here) and i so love your reaction and how well versed you are in expressing your thoughts on their music and the artistry behind their craft and kpop in general.
12:48 I totally agree!!! I for one, am guilty of this prejudice. As someone who lives in an southeast asian country, i grew up hearing a lot of kpop songs way before it became huge globally. And though i would jam to some of it like the power of pop songs have on us. I was never fan of kpop then, I lean more to rock, metal, country and alternative music wise. Knowing an artist makes their own music or at least has great involvement for me creates that genuine connection between a musician and a listener. And i didnt see that in kpop, i saw them as manufactured and unauthentic. But then i stumbled upon yg groups, which i found out is an agency who gives their artists creative freedom (tho these days a lot of the agencies does the same too). Crazy coz it was after i got into kpop that I learned to appreciate the ENTIRE process of making music. The writing, the producing, the wordplay, the message, conceptualization of single song and and whole album. I learned to appreciate every piece of art from a whole lot different perspective, like you mentioned, a single mv like this is a collective effort and creative ideas of many talented people nit just the artist. Mostly not even seen on cam, of different expertise and its amazing how they are able to put such a masterpiece together.
Crazy too, when i got into kpop i started getting into a whole lot of of other music genres to such as jpop, jrock, hiphop and rnb. Changed my whole life 🤣 music and art in general is truly universal
I feel like art comes in many forms and not al art needs to be enjoyed the same way. For me pop that may seem “overproduced” or “disconnected” or whatever, can still hold value to me, because I can appreciate that the artistry demonstrated, while different to say artsy folk is still artistry. It’s just in a different form. The folk artist connects through visceral, personal poetry, while the K-pop artist may connect through cutting edge performance and powerful, edgy hooks.
Like I always say, good music is good music, you shouldn’t have to defend your preferences. 🤘😝👍
AMAZING BORN PINK ALBUM
I really love your interpretations. Especially when you mentioned about the clothing arrangement. That's something I've never thought about and after hearing you say that, it makes me appreciate it too :) You should consider watching their documentary on Netflix called Light up the Sky
Love your appreciation for the work of the entire team behind them! I totally agree!
Please also reacting to Blackpink - how you like that
Loved it! There's also some rock bands inside the kpop industry that I think you'd love to react to, such as Day6 and Xdinary Heroes. Day6 is an incredible band with no bad songs that writes and arranges most of their stuff, they are amazing musicians. If you want to take a look, I recommend the songs Sweet Chaos and Shoot Me for a good start. Xdinary Heroes is a recent one with young and super talented guys, Test Me and Strawberry Cake are awesome ones to check out! Welcome to the kpop rabbit hole :)
Watching live performances is cool because they do it differently with a live band. Its pretty cool and not low effort (from their team and them)
Fun facts:
Rose was born in New Zealand but grew up in Australia. Her parents immigrated over seas. Her dad saw an audition flyer for open call to be a trainee in Korea, he told Rose to audition. She had to take Korean classes when she started training in YGE.
Jennie born in Korean study abroad in New Zealand when she was in Primary school and stayed there for a while. she told her parents she wanted to go back to Korea to become a singer. She was the 1st of the group to get into YGE.
Lisa was born in Thailand. She started dancing at a very young age. Open call to be a trainee in Korea, her dance group teacher told her to audition. She got into YGE and started out as a Dancer. She too had to learn Korean. She had a more difficult time learning, luckily she had Jisoo to help her. She was a background dancer in TaeYung's (member of Big Bang - Boy Group in YGE) video for Ringa Linga.
Jisoo is Korean born, she started as an actress trainee when she joined YGE. She starred in a Korean Movie called Snowdrop which aired on Disney + and She won the 17th annual Seoul International Drama Award for Outstanding Korean Actress.
really appreciate the technical insight.
A lot of the shot in this video are à reference to their previous videos. The tank was in a previous video. The video footage where Jisoo is wearing the pink wig is frop an other video also. The katana also. And during the first verse you can see Jennie and Lisa shut down their previous video sets to show tant they're now entering a new area for them. At the end they leave all of their previous set and they take the elevator to go up.
Ps: they are behind the scenes video for all their mv. It would je cool for you to check them out!
Netflix has a documentary about Blackpink and how they came together called Light Up The Sky. The kpop trainee program is hard to describe and difficult to even process how much young people go through for a chance to live their dream.
Loved your analysis about the "artistic merit" towards the end of the video.
I often think of K-pop idols as being similar to Olympic athletes. They have years of training, sacrifice, and isolation from a young age to make them among the best in the world at what they do, but they could not get there without that core talent to begin with. And they are subject to the same intense scrutiny. The biggest difference is that it is more financially rewarding in the end for the successful ones.
Blackpink's producer is Teddy Park (aka TEDDY) who is a former Korean hip-hop performer himself. There is a very interesting segment in the Netflix Blackpink documentary where Teddy asks, "What is K-pop?". He asks because K-pop is not really a musical genre, but just refers to the country of origin of the labels. K-pop groups sound very different from one another. And we don't say every Canadian band is C-pop, or Australian bands are A-pop. I sometimes hear about Brit-pop, but not every British band is part of that genre. Anyway, it made me think.
Cheers!
so basically this was their "comeback" after a long time (per kpop standards, not per western standards by any means) and during their hiatus they have received lots of hate for the most stupid reasons and they've had companies speaking on them and trying to replicate their success with their girl groups "bunch of wannabes that wanna be me", with this song it was basically their response to all that hate, the last sentence is pretty much self explanatory "keep talking we shut you down" also many other lyrics throughout the song that don't translate really well in english but are basically "you can keep barking but the leash on your neck is mine", "look this is (we are) your answer sheet but it's not cheap (getting to our level doesn't come easy-> in case you don't know the girls had to pass auditions against thousands of other hopefuls and then train for around five years with no guarantee they'd be chosen among the dozens of girls training to be able to debut as blackpink, if you want more info you can check out their documentary on netflix 'light up the sky' but long story short it was a mean world with 14hrs training days, monthly evaluations and one free day every two weeks)". BUT it has a second meaning, all the shots in the video itself are references to their past music videos, but upgraded. you guessed right, they have incredibly high budget for their mvs and build every set and prop from scratch. so basically the sets they close the shutters on are all their past works they're paying homage to and the street alley set they find themselves in the end is 'their area'. you may have noticed their slogan is literally blackpink in your area, all the blackpink posters on the alley are also their song titles (as a group and as soloists) or shops with their names, it quite literally is the visual representation of the hook "when we pull up, pull down your signs and lock the doors, shut down" because they have 'taken over' and hung their own signs. And in the end they take the elevator and go up, to a new place with new sets which is kind of a blank slate simbolizing they're starting a new chapter.
Also all the girls are very involved in the fashion industry so they put a lot of consideration on their outfits themselves and they have been credited as creative directors for this album, if you look up the behind the scenes or interviews they have mentioned they were the ones planning many of the sets appearing in both shut down and pink venom.
ps it translates so well in concert, i unfortunately have not seen it live as they won't come to my country but from the many clips on the internet, it was simply amazing.
I would like to give some info that here in this music video 6-7 references are from their previous songs like The Bridge at the start, Jennie on the bathtub from “Playing with Fire”; the truck filled up with bag with full of cash from “Boombayha”; Rose sitting on planet earth which turned into Black & Pink and all four girls were in the car while Lisa driving are from “Whistle”; Jisoo with umbrella, standing in-front of her portrait and Jennie on the Tank, Rose swings on chandelier, Lisa with Katana are from “DDU DU DDU DU”. There are some poster mentioning to their previous songs “How You Like That”, “Whistle”, “DDU DU DDU DU”, & Pink Venom”. They probably paid homage to their predecessor Girl Group of 2NE1, there are two identical shots like 2NE1 music video like Jisoo standing with Umbrella and Jennie wearing red hat with similar design at the same time closing the scissor gate.
I think every Blink ( Blackpink fans are called Blink) think that this song created specifically as response to the haters and reminding everyone about their revolution like from where did they started their journey, how far they have come till now.
You forgot the heart shaped purse from Kill this love (i think).
@@robertmiller669 yeah i forgot it, I watch so many reactions video bcz so many things can be missed from my eyes specially in Blackpink's MV. There are so many details in their Music Video like you can find new thing after witching a MV 10 times.
The violin piece is a sample of the Italian classical musician Niccolo Paganini and is called "La campanella". The reason you had some problems with the rhythm is that it's not a classic waltz, the rhythm is 6/8.
The violin tune is from Paganini’s LaCampanella. :)
Nice to hear someone react to most everything that's going on. Check out the set at 9:16, and really look at everything... every sign, the advertising, etc. In their videos BP very, very rarely use green screen or CGI. All of the sets are hand made. Over the years they sometimes have parts of the "old" sets in their newer videos. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the "Pink Venom" video was in the area of $12 million to produce.
Thank you for the Blackpink reaction. If you want to hear rock sound in K-pop, listen to Dreamcatcher's songs. Although Dreamcatcher is not a band, they do a good mix of rock and K-pop. I recommend Dreamcatcher's Chase Me and Good Night to you.
Dreamcatcher is coming for his dreams
I love that you pay respect to not only the skill set from the artist but also everyone supporting the artist to shine. That challenging someone’s initial instinct to say it’s not for me where you say look at it for what went into this final outcome.
Thoroughly enjoyed your reactions!
Thank you! I appreciate your watching!
Yesssir I recommend listening to their whole album, too good
On blast everyday 🔊💥💥 (esp Tally)
Shut Down is actually a clapback song tp their haters (they have so many, since people are jealous of their fame). They talk a lot about them, they are obsessed (as all haters), so that's what this song is aboit, Blackpink never says anything back, because they don't need to, they always shut down those haters with ther achievements (some are listed in the songs, personal and in group). And this MV actually shows a journey to their discography, they show a lot of scenes that comes from older MVs (all individual scenes are a reference to old MVs of them), so it's also about their journey, that it was hard, it was full of people praying for their downfall, but in the end, they always shut them down.
It's always good fun to see how BlackPink impact people of all walks of life. Unexpectedly, a lot of people who are into metal take a liking to them. They are something unique and it's very worth while to listen to there older stuff too. All there videos are spectacular so very worth watching too. They very rarely uses CGI and very few real world locations. And when they do use real world locations they dress them up extensively. Most of there videos are huge sets build for a few seconds of video. I suggest you go back in time and see what they did before. I would say watch all there videos (from whistle and boombaya to now, shot down as you already did) but if you want the short list here is my suggestions:
Whistle (it's great and there first so you can see where they came from)
Du Duu Du Duu - huge hit from them
How you like that - a classic
Kill this love - great song and video
Then do some of the songs with no video. They have videos with lyrics in english and a picture of each girl getting highlighted so you can see who is singing - to see other sides of the girls:
you never know - color coded lyrics video
Savage - color coded lyrics video
The happiest girl - color coded lyrics
Rose', Jenny and Lisa all have solos that are worth watching too. As a special treat, i would say watch Lisa's dance films. They are very short but pure eye candy. She have her own youtube channel called Lilifilm Official. There you can find:
Lilly film #1: th-cam.com/video/w62vZn2VgkM/w-d-xo.html
Lilly film #2: th-cam.com/video/By61X4Ku9JE/w-d-xo.html
Lilly film #3: th-cam.com/video/je_R3gEtDbw/w-d-xo.html (keep a defibrillator handy)
Lilly film #4: th-cam.com/video/6U-4Y17xMRY/w-d-xo.html
Lilly film: The Movie: th-cam.com/video/vtRJZEHdu8M/w-d-xo.html
There, your basic BlackPink education. Of course, there is BlackPink: light up the sky on Netflix. Great documentary about them and how they came to be. Worth a watch too
FIrst time watching your reaction videos. It's really interesting what you say about the production quality and effort put into creating this kind of videos/music. Being a K-pop fan as it is my own culture but not necessarily a Blackpink fan, I could still agree with what you say and I feel like that's what general Korean K-pop fans (not saying that international K-pop fans aren't like that) have been seeking as a standard for a long time, therefore such industry sort of formed and developed in the way we see now through these big name K-pop bands. Interesting video in general, I like hearing your view as a producer. Cheers.
Good review. Love your perspective from your background and experience.
I've been a metalhead for over 50 years - my journey started in 1971 when I herd the "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin. I like singles across many genres, but I am a full-on metalhead. For reference, Lovebites is my all-time favorite band because they blend power/speed/thrash/heavy metal influenced mainly by the 80's metal scene.
I am only weeks into my Blackpink journey. Blackpink breaks through my metal wall for a few reasons. They have great voices, their music videos are simply insane, their beats are forward and dig in, and they bring swagger. When they sing, they do it with attitude!!
There was a lot of inside references to past videos of BlackPink If you react to more BlackPink you will notice almost every shot was taken from 4 or 5 of their more popular videos
Kpop is a little different from other kinds of music in that the visual craft is as important as the sound. It's designed to be both seen and heard.
Another great reaction! Enjoyed it!
BlackPink are the GOAT girl group and Teddy Park is the GOAT producer of 99% of their songs. Fact check their numbers. 5 MVs with over 1 billion views and most subscribed TH-cam artist with over 80 million subscribers. Unsurpassed, they transcend Kpop.
BlackPink is well known for their A-side bangers but equally good and sometimes great are all their B-side tracks which do not have an official music video but you can find color-coded lyric videos which provides pictures of each member highlighted during their verse. Go check out “Don’t Know What to Do”, “Forever Young”, “See U Later”, “Really”, “Kick It”, and “ Hope Not”. I also recommend you check out live versions of these song which shows off their live vocal prowess. Enjoy!
BLACKPINK's channel currently has 82.2 million subscribers on TH-cam and is by far the channel of an artist or singer with the most subscribers on the entire planet, in second place is BANGTANTV (by BTS) with 71.6 million subscribers and in third place JUSTIN BIEBER with 70.4 million subscribers on youtube.
It's just all about Campanella a classical piano masterpiece :)
Love your reaction ❤️
Since I’ve I discovered BLACKPINK I have not stopped smiling 😎
The Violin is a sample of Paganini's La Campanella
Oh cool!
Blackpink is known for not being part of the "green screen" comunity, they actually build the most part of their sets, you can see them better in their Making Of videos of those MVs, you'll be even more amazed how they actually don't use a lot of great shots, cause they have so many
I stuck around till end. I love ur thought
When I was a teenager, my friend and I only listened to heavy metal... mainly Metallica and Iron Maiden. We used to joke and say that if anyone wanted to torture us, they should lock us up in a room and only play pop music. Now, close on 30 years later, if I hear a song that I enjoy, it goes on my playlist. Doesn't matter what genre it is. My playlist comprises music from a number of different genres, ranging from about the 1950's until today. Peoples taste in music, or anything for that matter, changes over time, and I see it with younger youtubers that are listening to, and actually enjoying the older bands/ groups, like Queen, ACDC, The BeeGees and The Eagles.... just to name a few....
Excellent reaction & comments
Check out BLACKPINK - ‘Shut Down’ M/V MAKING FILM and for ‘Pink Venom’ as well. Also behind the scenes for ‘Kill This Love’ and ‘How You Like That’ after you’ve reacted to those songs. They can be found on their official channel. I think you’ll appreciate it and your subscribers might as well. Not as many BP reactors dive deep into the set design and show off those videos. You’ll get a bit of insight into the girl’s personalities too.
10:31 참고로 일본검 카타나가 아닌 우리 한국의 조선시대 무인들이 사용했었던 사인검 또는 조선검이며、블랙핑크는 대중에게도 잘 알려진 클래식
음악을 셧다운 도입부에 확연하게 샘플링했고,.
Shut down 노래 전체 베이스에 잔잔하게 이 클래식의
멜로디가 들리죠. 샘플링한 클래식 곡은 바로
파가니니의 ' 라 캄파넬라' 입니다.
Niccol Paganini 'La campanella' 곡은 이탈리아의
바이올리니스트 및 작곡가인 파가니니가 바이올린
협주곡 2번으로, 바이올린 곡의 음이 화려하고
노래제목 '라 캄파넬라'의 뜻인 종소리 처럼,
바이올린 연주곡에서 종소리가 들리는것 같죠.
익숙한 멜로디가 도입부에 나오니 친숙한 곡처럼
느껴지죠. Shut Down은
파가니니의 '라 캄파넬라' 'La campanella' 클래식과
트렌디한 힙합 비트의 조화가 인상적이고
새로우면서 중독성이 강한 매력을 가진 곡입니다. :)🦋💙
Most of their sets here were from their earlier even earliest MVs since 2016… shit down sets are actually easy compared to their previous ones like ‘How you like that?” “kill this love.” “Ddu du ddu du” etc… also their company rarely uses green screen… they have behind the scenes of their mvs on their youtube chNnel…
@PrymalChaos I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere in your Comments section. But, just in case it hasn't, you need to check out their Netflix documentary - "BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky". Wonderful story of their rise to fame, including details of each member and their journey to becoming BLACKPINK.
Both pink venom and shut down is part of the born pink album. The songs in their born pink album has various different sound vs their Blackpink sound.
BECAUSE BLACKPINK IS QUEEN
And please react they full album is The Album and Born Pink.. They have many genre of music to the album
You should check out the BlackPink metal covers over on Frog Leap Studios channel. Or any of his other metal covers, really. Just a lot of fun.
That’s a great idea! I love Frog Leap Stuff. Didn’t know he’d done K-pop.
one thing i wanna say is blackpink have a big part in fashion so the things they wear in the mv are almost chosen by themselves
This song is an "Easter Egg Hunt" for blinks. Thank for prep appreciation, most of blinks know. That's why this group is superior. You may react on each every MV' making film. Btw you may need to react on their background. There'r many clips about them.
Pink Venom next please. It pays homage to their hip hop influences and the production is off the charts.
He already reacted😊
I would love to see you reacting to iKON Rhythm Ta Rock version 🤗
This song is for the haters . Like you said there is a ton of professionals involved along with the artists efforts to make the song every song. Off lately they have been on the top in every song they make every year so there are a lot of haters for these girls because they rule the k-pop world and they want their artist to be that. They fail to understand that it's a teamwork between the artists and the production to make a song a hit. The haters know that blackpink have it in them and that's why they hate them . What the haters fail to understand is that you need good production house and good team and the artists are hard working and humble and there is respect and understanding between the artists and team to work for long run and be successful. It's one team and that's y BTS and Blackpink rule the charts always.. For the sets and backend production you need to see the making of the song videos.. This song is performed as an anthem on previous songs of blackpink all m/vs including their solos.. It's just reviewing their journey from before to now..
