➫ HI!
I am an actor and content creator with Hollywood credits including roles on Lucifer (Netflix), Starlight Christmas (Hallmark), JT Leroy (Universal Studios), etc. In this channel, I offer insight to Kpop performances using my 10+ years of training in dance, acting, singing and overall performance. In dance, my forte are contemporary and musicals and have done most of my performances in theatre. Although my channel is mostly known for dance analysis, I am currently inactive in the dance community.
Personally I feel like his song "Bullet to the Heart" is where Jackson really started to find his own voice and "100 Ways" is where he solidified his sound. His other solo tracks and songs with GOT7 all have great moments with him but I feel like he found his 'true sound' with these two tracks (as far as vocals go).
He said that papillon and all his other tracks are also him. That’s people trying to fit him in a box and that stated that papillon and the other rap songs weren’t him. When they clearly ignore that he been into that style even in GOT7. He just likes to test all sounds and not to be fitted in one box
@@sonia4313 Oh definitely! I think he's had a specific style for rapping for quite some time. I just meant that his singing style really came together with Bullet to the Heart. You could just feel he was more confident in himself as a singer with that track. :)
DaRealZorro oh yeah okay yeah i’m glad he feels more and more confident about it and releasing both songs rapping and singing !!
Quick fact : kinjaz choreod this whole piece then Jackson taught it to back up dancers for stage performance 🔥
akso, Kinjaz taught Hall of Fame choreo through video call since Anthony and the rest of Kinjaz can't fly coz of covid.
This practice video was actually made as a demo for the director of the show he was performed, to ensure it would presented to TV audiences as per his expectation
Jackson isn't even just collaborating with the kinjaz anymore
he's one of them - they've worked together so many times
Ikr
He was a trainee for vocals actually before he transitioned to a rap role. So a lot of B sides of GOT7 have him singing. I do think like someone said earlier that he began to find his voice around his song bullet to the heart. Before he kinda had different singing styles and he sounded different then he does now.
Totally agree with you. For someone who has been following Got7 since long ago i know that Jackson sounded like this way before he debuted as a soloist.
The entire dance break - 100 ways and the dance break is for the show Street Dance of China 3 with LAY
And Wang Yibo!
The most important reason to see street Dance of china is to be able to see Jackson, Yixing and Yibo Hahahs
@@Rock_Star_30 jackson's dancing skills and lay's capability really shine through im like wtf they dont hold back
Think this isn't for SDC but Baidu's live show/performance "Super Show 2020"
th-cam.com/video/p8Vquoq0hPs/w-d-xo.html
The dance practice footage was actually the dance Jackson did for a Chinese award show called Suning 818 Super Show. Lay did, however, also perform at the event. Here is video of the actual performance: th-cam.com/video/79sw3URkjSU/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/8EWmBeD_4gs/w-d-xo.html. It wasn't for SDC3, but you are right they are both part of that program too.
Jackson just blows me away. His director vision, the way he's present in ALL aspects of his projects. He's a true artist that's found his voice through his own company. Massive respect for him
Jackson's always had this genius director mindset, this specific vision that only he can see, but JYP restrained him a lot (and the rest of GOT7 tbh). Now that he has his own company I feel like he's finally giving life to all those ideas he's been harvesting for YEARS. I'm so happy to see him so comfortable in his element and getting better and better with every comeback. 💯
I really wonder what JYP's problem is constricting his 3rd gen artists like that. I wonder why the juniors get so much creative freedom. Jackson and JB get the short end of the stick.
@@hederlisa I think they really want them to focus on their image and how JYP would sound instead of doing different sound that it's way different from the company music
I think jyp is trying to avoid what happen to miss a. Jyp ent trying to make sure that their popularity won't exceed too much from each other or else you know what will happen. Atleast jyp let him do his own company unlike SM ent and Jessica. Now he learns his lessons and let stray kids do their own music.
@@Abba_Jesus Skz already does their own music right? 3Racha I think??
Sharon Lang yes, 3racha r the producing/ writing/ composing team for SKZ, they have mixtapes that you can find on soundcloud also it’s composed of Chan the leader of SKZ as well (name in 3RACHA: CB97) Changbin (SpearB) HAN (J.One) and i’m thankful that JYPE always let them do their own music since predebut and truly wish they could give the same « freedom » to JB mostly
You're right, his solo stuff is all done under his own company, Team Wang!
You should watch the Street Dance of China. Lay and Jackson are on that show.
And YIBO and Wallace
And all the fandoms sub the whole show. Find them on Twitter handle @JiaerSubs.
Unbelievable dancing untouchable between Lay and Jackson
It's now with Eng Sub on TH-cam
I can almost guarantee that second video is for the street dance of China show Jackson is on. Chinese dance shows are next level. I loved Hot Blood Dance Crew
Yeah, Hot Blood Dance Crew is insane ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jackson sounds a bit like this in Oxygen but he perfected this amazing raspy warm Smokey sexy tone with Bullet to the Heart and literally his whole fandoms Jaws hit the floor!! Jackson is behind a lot of Got7 choreo.
Jackson has had a raspy tone for a long time but he is a rapper in GOT7, so it's a bit different to his singing tone now. He sang on GOT7's last track, and I think that was just proof he's getting more confident with singing now.
Jackson is currently participating as one of the four mentors along with yixing/lay in street dance of china by the way! He's such a great talented dancer but I feel like since got7 has yugyeom he's not talked about that often, the show is definitely good at showcasing his talents more
FANBOY OF BIG BOSS JACKSON WANG HERE PRESENT!!!!✓✓✓
THANKS FOR SHARE GREAT VIDEO REACTIONS BRO MY SING FAVORITE "100WAY" ®✓✓✓
STREAMING " PRETTY PLEASE"®✓✓✓
TEAM WANG LET'S GO!!!✓✓✓
Hey! really liked your reaction!
_I'll try to explain the story as simply as I can (part 1 the myth that inspired the mv / part 2 analyse of the mv itself):_
*PART 1 MYTH*
The MV is inspired by the Chinese myth of the Butterfly lovers. Zhu Yingtai comes from a rich family, she wants to study but she's a girl so she cannot because of their culture. She decides to dress like a boy and her father accepts to let her go to school. There she meets Liang Shanbo, they become best friends but she starts to fall in love with him. Sadly, after a few years, her father sends her a letter to ask her to come back to their family, she then reveals her identity to her teacher and ask them to give Liang a jade pendant as a betrothal gift.
Liang accompagnes her during the 18 miles walk, she tries to let him know that she's a girl by giving hints but he doesn't seem to understand so she decides to act as a matchmaker between him and her "sister". Therefore when he visited her family, he discovered a pretty young lady and decided to ask Zhu's hand right away because of all the years they lost, they make a vow "till death do us apart". The thing is they get told that Zhu is promised to a rich man.
Liang is heartbroken and dies from it.
On the day of Zhu's marriage to Ma, strong winds prevent the wedding procession from escorting the bride beyond Liang's grave, which lies along the journey. Zhu leaves the procession to pay her respects at Liang's grave. She descends in bitter despair and begs for the grave to open up. Suddenly, the grave opens with a clap of thunder. Without further hesitation, Zhu throws herself into the grave to join Liang. Their spirits emerge in the form of a pair of butterflies and fly away together, never to be separated again.
*PART 2, the MV!:*
In the MV, Jackson is a military leader who's being brought back to life by his four loyal soldiers after they did a ritual because that is the promise they made (to always protect their leader and use their powers to bring him back).
Jackson once brought back to life only has one goal, to find his lover's grave to bring her back to life. You see his loyal soldiers and him walking through broken trees due to their powerful energies. They make it to the grave which is located somewhere very pretty / luxurious, letting us know that she comes from as rich family (he came back from the forest in the middle of other tombstones).
Jackson and his soldiers do the ritual again to bring her back to life but to do it and help Jackson the 4 loyal soldiers sacrifice themselves as it requires a lot of energy (that is why the 4 of them fall).
Jackson has now enough energy and powers to bring his lover back to life, that is what he does. She comes back to life with really luxurious and expensive clothes, proving this time that she comes from a rich and honourable family whereas Jackson was covered in dirt. This is an hint as to why they weren't buried together (usually lovers are buried together), because they weren't married, she was with a man of her "kind" and he died alone (explaining the "There's a hundred ways to leave a lover (her husband that she doesn't actually love), I'm the only one that you need (he, that she's in love with despite him not being rich or successful like her family would want him to be).
Once they're reunited, he holds her in his arms and proceeds to do the ritual one more time to bury them together as they're finally together and can rest peacefully instead of resurrecting her to live together because there's no actual proofs that they'd be able to live together, so they die together instead, in the arms of one another.
I hope at least someone read this or I would've wrote if for nothing haha, hope it helped or whatever :D
Okay I legit read all of this haha. I love learning about mythical or historical symbolism, references and influences in music videos that most people don't usually notice because they mistake it just for aesthetic. Which, it's a great aesthetic and plot but there's a reason for it to be incorporated haha. Thanks for sharing!!
Jackson continues to challenge itself in every possible area and is constantly renewing itself. He recently said that he wants to try even more styles, which despite having started with his roots in rap, is more focused on the melodic nowadays. An album is coming out in Chinese this year and one in English next year. I greatly admire the dedication and determination he puts into everything he does.
PS: I highly recommend seeing Street Dance of Chine 3, where he and three other instructors battle. I almost die because I am unable to choose between Jackson, Lay and Yibo. The other one is Wallace.
I’ve come to love Jackson as a solo artist so much. It’s so cool that he just does his own thing and how much he is involved in everything from directing to the choreo etc. So much authenticity, I really appreciate that
The mv is the first part of his new mv « pretty please »
Hello!!! JACKSON WANG is not just an Illegal beauty but much more; Multi-talented and all he has achieved is sweat, work and effort, as he works for 20 and sleeps 4 because he suffers a lot from "Jet lag", because he travels a lot, besides being a Rapper, he is a Singer, Dancer, Actor, Mc, Musician, Writer, Composer, Producer, Director, Athlete; winning the Olympic Gold Medal, in the junior fencing category, being number 11 in the world and number 1 in China, he has his own Music Channel with his Artistic name "JACKSON WANG" and his own Channel of the Elite Brand and luxury of him called "TEAM WANGdesign", being the only Chinese to have an alliance with the luxury online store "FARFETCH" and another online store "StopKX IPO", having Billionaire contracts for his own Designs, he is a great Designer !!! and is CEO of his own company called; "TEAM WANG", besides Polyglot and Genius, is Model and Global Face of Elite Brand as; FENDI, CARTIER, RAYBAN, ADIDAS, PEPSI, L'Oreal, VIVO, SUPER X, Giorgio Armani, BWM, ... etc ... in many parts of the world you will find advertisement with his Face and Commercials and there is also a strong rumor that "Joe Russo" wants to collaborate with him in a video and the royalty of England are fans of him and the Icing on the Cake; He is an Investor and President of a Video Game Company called "Esport Team Victory Five" from China, that is Legend Level is JACKSON WANG and yet he is HUMBLE, ADORABLE AND NOBLE !!!👀👑😳🥺😘🔥🔥🔥🎤🎶🕺💃🌍💖👈
THANKS!!!!😍😍😍
LET'S MAKE HISTORY EMPIRE TEAM WANG!!!!🌍💖👈🙋
WAIT HAVE YOU SEEN ANY OF JACKSONS STREET DANCE OF CHINA ?!? PLS LOOK INTO IT! not just for his amazing dancing BUT also as a captain& how he works with his team. So many amazing performances
Don’t know if you noticed but that’s the KINJAZ with him. He worked with them on several of his work. And they also choreographed Lullaby of for GOT7
The dance practice is for a show in China called Street Dance of China 3.
I luv the way they incorporated hand signs in the choreography. It’s a version of the Summoning/Reanimation Jutsu per Naruto.
Yes, Jackson has 100% control over all aspects of his solo work because he owns it all himself. It's all part of his company. However, "100 Ways" actually was choreographed under the direction of the Kinjaz. The Kinjaz have done a lot of projects with Jackson and several of his recent projects are in collaboration with them. To hear the Kinjaz members explain what it was like on the set of "100 Ways" and the whole process working with Jackson, check out the Kinjaz TH-cam channel and this video: th-cam.com/video/NNSOvgjjXg0/w-d-xo.html. The hand movements are the Kinjaz signature Kata moves.
The dance practice you saw was a practice for a performance Jackson did for a recent Chinese award show. The dance break is just another part of that performance. What you saw Jackson directing was him explaining the dance to the backup dancers who were part of the performance. Here is video of the actual performance: th-cam.com/video/79sw3URkjSU/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/8EWmBeD_4gs/w-d-xo.html.
I highly recommended you to react Jackson Wang ft. Rich Brian. Titanic..
You'll never be dissapointed after see that
Jackson is so smooth in this music video also I wanna know the message behind him coming out of the ground tattered and dirty while the girl came out clean and so gracefully
If you see the "Team Wang" branding Jackson is 100% the decision maker in all choices on how things are done. He is a force of nature.
I LOVE when artist collab with The Kinjas omg
This is not for MV dance practice but is for the stage performance.
JACKSON WANG'S TITANIC IS ALSO A BOMB
Glad you enjoy Jackson's work! And yes, in some got7's b side you can hear jackson singing! GOT7's b sides are amazing.
Also, I wouldnt call his solo work idol work. It isn't.
He's the one in charge about everything he does in his solo work.
Team Wang is his company. All the music since the making, MV, choreos all is done by him and all the amazing people he's working with! Jackson is that briliant!
100 WAYS behind the scene is on the other video.
THANK YOU FOR THIS PLEASE GOT7 ECLIPSE OR HARD CARRY NEXT🙏🙏 THE CHOREO AND THE SONG ARE LIT
Yes please, he will love Eclipse!!
Ecliplse💕
It was actually so interesting to me how you pointed out at 2:00 that it looks like the others are metaphorically controlling his movements. I never saw the dance practice until now and I just thought they were putting on those decorative armor pieces as if kind of preparing him for summoning the woman or just dressing him up for their rendez-vous.
Also super fascinating that you pointed out how his movement is so musical theatre-esque. I never payed close attention to it but kinda just assumed that he would have a very “athletic” technique because he used to pursue fencing so intensely. Woundn‘t have asociated him with that style tbh but I really appreciate it.
This really makes me appreciate his creativity a lot more. Thank you for the analysis!
You should watch the dances in Street Dance of China 3, they are all amazing! You will see Jackson, Lay, Yibo and Wallace's team's dances. Btw, the dance practice towards the end of your video is for Street Dance of China 3, that was Jackson's opening performance.
this video is for Street Dance of China3. chines dance show. also lay is on the show. they are so funny and talented. each one has a team. lay and jack are mentors
Love your reaction btw
When he came to Korea Jackson did so with the intention of being a singer however he was placed as rapper in got7 and that's why you probably don't remember his singing voice from their songs! There are a few songs in which he has sung, especially more as of recently, but in most songs he raps - which is still unique and showcases his voice but in a different way than when he sings. When he went solo his first few songs were also mostly rap or rap mixed with singing, and only slowly they became more and more singing only. I enjoy both very much but I'm glad through his solo works he gets to work on and shine more through his singing which he doesn't do with got7 a lot. I really like his voice too.
Sometime this year his second album with about 17 songs should come out so you definitely should look forward to that! And I recommend you to watch bullet to the heart, titanic and dway, which are also all really great songs, with awesome choreos and interesting creative concepts. It's like he gets better with every comeback
Been waiting for Jackson Wang Reaction
All I wanna say is i am so damn proud of jackson man honestly . SO DAMN PROUD:))))))
PLEASE REACT TO MORE JACKSON'S SONG PLEASEEEE
I love how everyone talking about his vocal because he's basically the main rapper and I rly like his rap voice but there's something nice about his singing voice he started to "sing" in BULLET TO THE HEART _(I personally really love this song and I would like to recomend it to u ^^)_ he improved the singing ability he has and then decided to go on with it >< It's kinda refreshing change from his usual self I think tho
Jackson Wang's Titanic is Lit as in Lit🔥
There is a BTS, its about a warrior that fell in love with a woman, a prince also fell for the same woman. The prince kilked him. He spent 1000 yesrs looking for her. He summoned her so they can meet one last time! Isn't that sweet and sad. They were already dead silly.
YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY WATCH ‘BULLET TO THE HEART’ lol idk why I put it in all caps but I’m just excited 😂
Finally i been waiting for this thoo🌸
and jackson says he’s not good at dancing😐
he should shut up
Yes !!!, JACKSON He always says that others are better in everything than him, he is a very humble friend !!!( ◜‿◝ )♡
jeff, i recomend you to watch china show’s street dance of china season 3, where Jackson and Lay there as the dance captains, also Uniq’s Wang Yibo if you know him. you don’t need to make reaction, just watch, it’s so great and worth to watch!
El talento que posee Jackson es INCREIBLE, se podría decir que es uno de los idols más completos que hay, tanto en la industria coreana como china
The story behind 100 Ways is real love story between Chinese general and his love . They had been separated and dead in different places. So this general’s soldiers revived him and then they revived his love too, sacrificing themselves. And then, they were buried together. So the General and his love can be together in the other life. “Cause I’m the only one that you need”
P.S. hope you understood me 🙈🙈🙈
He is Jackson "Beyond" Wang
In Got7 he’s more known for being a rapper and an excellent one at that, but I feel like in his solo stuff in team wang he’s finding his voice and singing more!
Jeff!! I think you'd enjoy watching Hot Blood Dance Crew (Jackson is a mentor on it with Luhan, Victoria and William Chen). It's this street dance competition based in China.
Jackson sang on Not By The Moon that you reacted to!! He mainly sings on bsides though.
You always upload videos at 5;00 A.M in Egypt OMG 😂😂😂 I can’t sleep If I’m not going to watch your reaction 😂♥️
ON Their latest comeback with the title track "Not by the Moon" (GOT7), he actually sang there if you haven't seen it , check it out . They all have their own style and color of music and you can see that in their Solo music that they did before .
If you like his vocals I suggest his single, BULLET TO THE HEART - Jackson Wang, it has amazing vocals and beautiful imagery.
Can you watch Hot Blooded Dance Crew. Its a dance show with Jackson Wang
Yes, that's the same woman in *"Pretty Please", "100 Ways"* and *"Pretty Please"* MVS are *ICONIC* for a reason
*Jackson Wang's* voice is beyond this world, it's raspy, gritty and deep but very soothing. I suggest you react to *" Titanic"*
The last part of the choreo video was the dance practice for the captain’s performance for Street Dance of China 3. I think you should check out more dance videos from SDC3.
Nice detail, the soldiers sacrificed themselves when they dropped out of the scene. I think it's a way of giving jackson the energy he needs to go back with his lover.
Omg I'm glad you're finally reacting to this!
I suggest you to watch street dance of china because it has some beautiful choreography you shouldn't miss.
I've been in love with this so for the longest time, it's so good!
OMGGG yessss I love this songgg ❤💜
Wow the video was so cool and different! The dance break was amazing too!
I also love the acting in Jackson's part, his expressions are so good especially since he is such a goofball. Also that he sings now, when years before Jackson wanting to sing was always made into a joke. I love that he gets to do what he wants with his solo work.
Check Thank You and Love You Better by Got7, they're available on youtube. The songs is written by Jinyoung, and Jinyoung tend to make Jackson sing. Yes, his unique voice is highlited on those songs.
Great reaction Jeff!
I hope next you can react to “Bullet to The Heart” by Jackson Wang too! There also a girl (i think the same girl maybe) and the mv is crazy too! You will not regret for sure!
Best reaction and most accurate I’ve seen ♥️
I am in love with the MV and song.
You should react to lay and jackson battle in street dance of china and their other epic performances.
I love this song!
The dance practice you watched was for an on stage performance. The dance break was his routine for street dance of China.
He's practising for his live performance actually
The last part is a choreo from a dance show he was on
I suggest:
TITANIC by Jackson Wang & Rich Brian
FOCUS ON ME by JUS2 (Yugyeom and JB)
ECLIPSE, LOOK, IF YOU DO, NEVER EVER and HARD CARRY by GOT7
Thank you 🙏💚
Eclipse, my fav💕
Yes
How can someone be so perfect !!! 😍😍😍
I just really love this music video. It's so refresshing and really feels like a new idea.
I was waiting for this omg
This is only one part.If you continue to look at the works, you will know that their talents are incredible.่
Jackson 🔥🔥🔥
When i see this i was like "who are you, you are so late. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"
Jackson is how i got into Got7 :) This is why I always have high respect to Jackson and LAY they are daring to go a mile to achieve their goals..
More Got7 and Jackson wang 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏻
100 ways were the song when I really felt in love with him
I recommend you to watch “Street dance of China” for more performances of Jackson and Lay too!!! I think you will absolutely love it
OMFG FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Love how you react on kpop groups ❤️
Love how into creating his vision he is 👌 bullet to the heart is another really cool movie like performance. Also Titanic ft rich Brian has pretty good choreography- all I’ll say is standing front flip is how it starts so ..
Can you react to Titanic by Jackson Wang FT Rich Brian.
The last week i. Daily check out the channel if u make this reaction or not , i’v been busy last days then today wakeup saw that !🤯 thnx 🙏🥺 Jackson deserve support bcs he’s a real artist nd unique 🥺❤️❤️u made my moment 🕺🏻🎶
Watch "Dance street of China" Jackson and Lay from exo were mentors in this competition
You should try watching Street Dance of China season 3. Lay and Jackson are there. As well as, 2 other hosts Yibo and Wallace. The 4 of them are so talented at dancing. Yibo is also an idol from the group UNIQ (but the group is inactive now and so he's focusing on his acting career more) and he is a professional dancer who used to do dance battles, I feel like you will really love his dancing, once you see him on the show.
If you want to see more of that controls style I’m telling you Jus2! Focus on me by jus2! Shit was great! PLEASE watch the mv and the dance practice.
you should react to bullet to the heart. he has a live perf on let's show together. or maybe even oxygen and he also performed it live on jackson wang 328 journey. jackson is known in kpop as a rapper but his solo stuff mostly showcases his vocals. you'll enjoy either songs if you want to listen his voice. though both songs don't have a choreo though. they're on the more symbolic and emotional side. i think you'll enjoy them!
In got7 he mostly raps and his rapping voice is a bit huskier than his singing voice which is more smooth and softer
Ppl should wake up ....
N See the most beautiful members of GOT7.
😶😯 "They die together". That made me laugh and strangely found it so cute.
Finallyyyy! 10/10
